text: Virtual Museum Presidents of BAUS Kenneth ED Shuttleworth MS FRCS1922 - 2006 Summarised from Plarr's "Lives of the Fellows Online" Ken Shuttleworth was born in Bradford on 30 April 1922 to Frederick and Edith Shuttleworth. He was educated at Watford Grammar School. Despite some early experience in hospital, where he had fainted at the sight of blood every day for a fortnight, he entered St Thomas' Hospital to study medicine in 1939. He qualified in 1944 and immediately joined the RAMC, serving in Italy, Egypt and Palestine, an experience which included taking out the appendix of the son of a sheikh, who rewarded him with a feast including the traditional sheep's eyes. On his return he was appointed to the staff of St Thomas' and awarded a Hunterian Professorship in the College in 1962. From the days of Cheselden, the urological tradition at St Thomas' had been upheld by R H O B Robinson and Walter "Gaffer" Mimpriss, who had learned the technique of transurethral cold punch resection from Gershom Thompson at the Mayo Clinic. Ken replaced Mimpriss as a general surgeon, but realised the need to set up a specialist department of urology, separate from that of general surgery. Such specialisation in London was at that time exceptional, and he faced opposition from some colleagues who were keen for the overlap between urology and general surgery to continue. He was president of the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) from 1982 to 1984, at a time when many in the surgical subspecialties were urging the surgical Royal Colleges to set up a higher surgical qualification to demonstrate that a trainee had been fully trained in his or her specialty. BAUS were persuaded to support this concept, but not without some difficulty and only on condition that it would be set up jointly by all four surgical Royal Colleges. The introduction, by Dornier, of extracorporeal shock wave destruction of stones came at a time when the NHS budget was under unusual strain so the Department of Health asked for bids from different London hospitals. The competition was intense, but he put forward a scheme which won the prize and, for the next decade, large numbers of renal calculi were referred to St Thomas' for the new treatment. In retirement he moved permanently to his Tuscan farmhouse, where he was happy growing his own vegetables, harvesting his hay field, picking his own grapes making wine, and entertaining friends who visited him from England after the death of his partner Pamela. A hip replacement in London did not slow him up and it was only when he suffered progressive amnesia that his family brought him back to England to a nursing home. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer, from which he eventually died on 8 March 2006. ← Back to Presidents of BAUS Virtual Museum Museum MapBAUS Members Art GalleryCopyright Advice Submitting Your

"Our vision is to build community around the art of visual story-telling, with the viewing of films and discussions with filmmakers fueling lively conversation amongst old and new friends … and those conversations being enriched with the world-class food and wine of legendary Napa Valley."
We at the Castello always look forward to the festival, and this year we were able to participate as a shooting location for one of the short films in the SONY 4K FILM CHALLENGE! Five teams given the latest SONY tech were given a 60-hour challenge to create a short film based on randomly-assigned topics. Director Paul Martin chose Castello di Amorosa as one of the settings for his short film, "Valentimes Day."
We had a blast with Paul and his crew filming scenes in the Great Hall and our Torture Chamber! Check out some of our behind-the-scenes photos from their shoot:
Actress Kai getting used to wearing one of our knights' helmets
Paul showing her how it's done!
Paul showing his crew around the very latest Sony 4K technology
Actor Cameron Mark Lewis on the rack! Don't try this at home!!
The next day of filming was on the Napa Valley Wine Train. We tagged along for the ride and got to capture more of the action!
Filming in the Wine Train's beautiful Gourmet Car
Our 2010 Sangiovese was featured in the film!
Thank you again to Paul and team for letting us be a part of your fantastic production!

Nice pict and strange fashion. My preferred detail in this picture is the yellow camera near de feet (Q1). You have a great zoom (I would like to have one like that !), but I suppose you wave worked in auto mode and not in portrait ou priority to diaph. Because de BOF is not enough to dissolve the background giving more focus to de two girls, the right one is a pretty girl.
Have a good continuation
I like it but my opinion gather Correp00, about the DOF and you should have used a flash light to reduce the contrast between the girls in the shadow and the backround in the sun. Because of that the ground and the sky are over exposed and "burned". Did you used the spot metter mesure ? If so it also contributed to over exposed the details.
Good framing and good subject anyway.
Eagle (522) 2004-08-09 16:22
Wow you always find the most interesting people to photograph! Very nice pose the girls have and great idea with a black frame!

composition and angkle are great.

I knew it would be amazing and that it would be love

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 50 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
The Damascus Hostel, http://www.damascushostel.com
Situated in Damascus, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, The Damascus Hostel offers a clean, comfortable and welcoming place to stay.
Nestled safely in the Christian quarter, we offer clean, comfortable and affordable accommodation for travellers from all over the world.
Close to many inexpensive cafes, restaurants and internet cafes, the Hostel is a home away from home right in the heart of the city. View the main street from the roof courtyard or turret. There is an abundance of architectural styles, historical and religious sights to see just a short walk from the Hostel.
Upon arrival we will help you to familiarise yourself with the exotic Old City. and help you to Immerse yourself in the local language and culture. You can learn to read and write Arabic from our helpful and friendly local staff.
The Damascus Hostel is based on the style of student accommodation begun originally by manager Ray Gordon in Australia over 21 years ago. Ray offered long-term accommodation that attracted many international students from Europe and Asia. Ray now brings this style of welcome hospitality to the heart of Old Damascus.
The Damascus Hostel has an excellent reputation amongst travellers http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_…ascus.html with high approval ratings. The Hostel is known for its lively social atmosphere
We have two main markets.
- Western travellers looking for budget accommodation, tours and other travel services who are planning a trip to Syria and Damascus; and
- those looking to study the Arabic language in Damascus and require accommodation for several weeks to months.
Western travellers to Syria are usually quite open minded and adventurous as Syria considered a bit of the beaten track.
Arabic language students are usually quite respectful of arabic culture. Also, Damascus is a fantastic site for archaeologists and those interesting in ancient customs and history.
1. Because the hostel is set into a turret of the old city's walls we think it would be a good idea to incorporate a castle like turret into the design.
2. The logo will be used in both print and web applications.
3. Please supply in .jpg and .psd formats with layers
4. If you can match the fonts in the sign that would be fantastic
5. Earthly tones (light browns) probably best suit but if you are convinced that something super bright like a fluoro green is the way to go then by all means go for it.

Enjoy the best sound possible for movies, music, and TV shows with Dolby TrueHD lossless audio built into your home theater, music, movies, and other content.
Unlike most audio formats, Dolby® TrueHD is 100 percent lossless. This means that what you hear is bit-for-bit identical to the master recording.
With support for up to 7.1 channels of high-definition audio, Dolby TrueHD provides the most authentic surround sound experience available for your home theater.
Dolby TrueHD fully exploits the potential of Blu-ray™ by enabling the maximum audio fidelity possible on these discs and bringing you one step closer to the source.
Capable of delivering 16 channels of top-quality audio, Dolby TrueHD has room to expand as formats add new channels in the future.
Experience the full potential of Blu-ray audio in your living room.
A filmmaker can spend years working to make every detail of a movie perfect, and this includes the audio. Dolby TrueHD ensures that what you hear at home is completely accurate to the artist's vision—not an approximation or a recreation, but the full audio experience. Every detail of the original recording is preserved because Dolby TrueHD reproduces audio bit-for-bit identical to the studio master.
Dolby TrueHD accomplishes this using a suite of highly sophisticated compression technologies. These enable 100 percent lossless audio in files half the size of uncompressed pulse-code modulation (PCM). What this means for you is the best possible sound from Blu-ray Discs™ and streamed or downloaded sources.
Most movie and TV soundtracks are recorded at 48k. Unfortunately, the 48k recording process can introduce an unnatural harshness or edginess to the sound during the conversion from analog to digital. Dolby TrueHD corrects this problem by applying higher sample rates and increased playback quality through an advanced apodizing filter.
On Blu-ray, Dolby TrueHD supports up to eight full-range channels of 96 kHz/24-bit audio and six full-range channels of 192 kHz/24-bit audio. It also features advanced 96k upsampling to produce the highest-quality Blu-ray audio from material originally recorded at 48k.
The result: you experience entertainment as it was meant to be heard.
Dolby TrueHD makes it easier than ever for content creators and equipment manufacturers to deliver 100 percent lossless audio to the home theater.
Ensure that audiences experience every detail of your work, exactly the way you wanted, with Dolby TrueHD.
Enable the best audio quality possible from Blu-ray Disc and streamed or downloaded sources by including Dolby TrueHD in your products.
44.1 kHz to 192 kHz
Variable bit rate; CBR rendering for transport over HDMI®
Up to 24 bits
Up to eight channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio; designed to be expandable should the Blu-ray Disc standard adopt additional channels

Video: Upgrading Computer Sound with Headphones
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Find out how to get better sound from the music on your computer using headphones in this short video.
Read video transcript
Tara: These days people spend a lot of time listening to music from their computer through headphones. I know I do at work. But if you're using the earbuds that come with an iPod, for example, you're going to miss out on some of the details in your music, even when you turn the volume all the way up. So in this video we're gonna show you a couple ways to get better sound from your computer while listening through headphones.
The first step to better sound from your computer is to get a good pair of headphones. That'll give you better dynamic range, meaning higher highs, lower lows from your music and better overall detail. Good headphones will also block some of the environmental sounds that could be in your office. If you work in a really busy area, you may want to invest in noise canceling headphones which will do an even better job blocking the sounds around you.
The next step is to get a headphone amplifier to go with your headphones. Without it, your headphones will pull a little bit of power from your computer. When you add a headphone amp in though, your headphones get a whole lot more power so you'll hear a lot more detail. It'll really open up your music. And a lot of our co-workers have tried headphone amplifiers recently at their desks and they said that they make a huge difference. It's really easy to add a headphone amp to your system. You'll run one cable to the amplifier and another cable will connect to your headphones. And some amps will pull power from your computer. Others will plug into the wall.
If you have any questions about headphones, amplifiers, or setting up a system just give us a call. We'll be happy to help.

Machado, Bundy and Johan making progress
Third baseman sprints at 180 feet as he nears rehab assignment
BALTIMORE -- Orioles third baseman Manny Machado came through his first day of sprints on Monday with no problems, repeating the sprints on Tuesday and working up to three sprints at 180 feet.
Machado did six sprints at 90 feet on Monday and started off Tuesday from the same distance. The plan now is for Machado to cut the bases, which is his last remaining step, on Wednesday. The 21-year-old, who is recovering from knee surgery, suffered a minor setback the last time he cut the bases during Spring Training. Assuming he gets through that step without an issue, he will work toward playing in two or three extended spring games before going out on a rehab assignment.
Johan Santana is throwing live batting practice again on Thursday as he continues to progress from his second shoulder surgery. Santana faced batters on Saturday, including Machado, and is on a five-day rotation-esque progression.
Dylan Bundy talked to manager Buck Showalter Tuesday and continues to progress well from Tommy John surgery. He is throwing his changeup and fastball with plans for him to throw the breaking ball, which is really the last step, in a bullpen later this week.
Rule 5 Draft pick Michael Almanzar (left knee) played five innings in a simulated game on Tuesday and is nearing a rehab assignment.

'Concussion' hits hard on gay marriage discussion
- %27Concussion%27 had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 19
- The movie deals with a woman in a same-sex marriage who questions life after a hit to the head.
- %27Concussion%27 will be released in the fall of 2013
PARK CITY, Utah — Concussion's world premiere at Sundance couldn't have been more fortuitous, given President Obama's support of gay civil rights in his second inaugural address on Monday.
The film deals with a wealthy lesbian couple whose longtime marriage hits the skids when one of the partners is hit in the head with a baseball and starts to re-evaluate whether she wants to continue to live the suburban life.
"It's certainly timely," says writer/director Stacie Passon. "All of this really calls out the idea that this (gay and lesbian) community has been searching for legitimacy for a long time. And all the hard work has really paid off."
Fittingly, on the day of Obama's speech, a studio arm of The Weinstein Co., Radius, announced it had purchased the film for distribution. Concussion is now slated for an early fall 2013 release.
Concussion is not a romantic picture of marriage by any stretch. But it deals with the real issue of what happens when the marital flame goes out.
The injured partner, Abby (Robin Weigert), decides to give up the world of minivans and start a new life as a high-end lesbian prostitute in Manhattan.
"It's a concussion-like midlife crisis," says Passon. "It hits you hard. And suddenly the rules don't make sense anymore. This is a real side of what marriage is all about."
The real-life struggles of same-sex relationships have been explored in-depth in films such as Lisa Cholodenko'sThe Kids Are All Right (2010).
"It sort of stands on their shoulders, totally," says Passon. "I don't think without Lisa's movie that we could have told the story as effectively. This sort of deepens the conversation."
The film idea has a clear origin: Passon has been married to the same woman for 20 years, and on her 40th birthday three years ago she was beaned in the head with a baseball thrown by her son.
"It was much the same way as in the movie. And it put me into this place of 'This is crazy. I don't want this life anymore,' " she says. "You love your family, love the choices you have made, but you long for something else."
However, Passon did not go to the extremes that her film character takes afterwards, saying her biggest thrill was heading to Sundance to sell her film.
Concussion has received support from the gay and lesbian community, but Passon feels the universal theme of marital woes will reach an even larger audience. And the film received a warm reception at Sundance despite the conservative surroundings in Utah.
"This is a hippy gay and lesbian haven for 10 days," says Passon.
The director says she has not come face-to-face with critics of the film and feels the voices against gay marriage are being overwhelmed by the supporters.
"That dissenting voice is waning. It's hanging on by a thread. There's a majority that embrace it," she says. "I think there's a broad audience for this film. I think all people will be able to relate to the time when the love dies."

| 4.9°C Belfast
The Government has welcomed another fall in unemployment and a record number of women in work as evidence of foundations for healthy economic growth despite warnings that the pace of improvement could be slowing down.
Ministers said they were "rebuilding" Britain's economy after new figures showed falls in youth and long-term unemployment, a big rise in job vacancies, and the 15th consecutive fall in the numbers claiming jobseeker's allowance.
Communications giant EE added to the good news by announcing 1,000 new jobs, on top of 400 new positions planned by TNT Post.
The jobless total was 2.34 million in the final quarter of last year, down by 125,000, giving a rate of 7.2%, while t he number of people claiming jobseeker's allowance dipped to 1.22 million in January, down by 27,000.
More women are in work than at any time since records began in 1971, at just over 14 million, today's data from the Office for National Statistics showed.
But 1.4 million people are in part-time jobs because they cannot find full-time work, a fall of 29,000 over the latest quarter but 46,000 higher than a year ago.
Employment now stands at more than 30 million, a rate of 72.1%, which is 0.6% higher than a year ago.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander said: "This recovery wouldn't be happening without the Liberal Democrats in government.
"Quarter by quarter, job by job, we are rebuilding Britain's economy. Every job created is a family helped and a boost to our economic growth.
"This, combined with the encouraging news on inflation earlier this week, is further convincing evidence that our long-term economic plan is working."
Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted: "It's good to see another fall in unemployment. Our Long Term Economic Plan means more people with the security of a wage and a chance in life."
But Dave Prentis, general secretary of Unison, said: "Sadly, today's fall in the total number of unemployed masks the scourge of under-employment, which is growing at an alarming rate across the country.
"Under-employment is now a bitter reality for millions of struggling families across the UK."
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "These are encouraging figures for the millions of people desperate for work. It is good news that unemployment levels continue to fall, and that young people are finally beginning to share in the improving jobs market.
"But people already in work have less to cheer about, with prices still rising twice as fast as wages."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: "Today there are fewer unemployed young people, more jobs outside of London, more women in work than ever before and more people in new full-time jobs.
"This shows that we have built the foundations for healthy UK growth and a stronger economy.
"This Government has worked hard to repair and rebalance the economy, helping to create nearly 1.7 million new private sector jobs since the election, strengthening Britain's economy and building a fairer society."
Shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves said: "While today's fall in overall unemployment is welcome, the Government must not be complacent. More than 900,000 young people are still unemployed and over 250,000 young people have been unemployed for over a year.
"Today's figures also show working people facing a cost-of-living crisis are over £1,600 a year worse off since David Cameron became Prime Minister.
"The Government should introduce Labour's compulsory jobs guarantee to get people back to work now."
The party later confirmed that its flagship jobs guarantee was assured of funding only for the first year of the next parliament.
The scheme would offer anyone on jobseeker's allowance for more than two years - or one year for under-25s - the guarantee of a job paying at least the minimum wage for 25 hours a week and training of at least 10 hours a week.
David Kern, chief economist at the British Chambers of Commerce, said the latest unemployment figures showed that the UK had a strong and flexible labour market, adding: " However, there are signs that the pace of improvement in the jobs market is slowing down. Although youth unemployment has fallen, the jobless level among 16 to 24-years-olds still stands at 917,000, which is far too high.
"Many people are also still working part-time, as they are unable to gain full-time employment."

Miscellaneous thoughts about miscellaneous matters
Humans have been consuming alcohol for at least as long as there have been humans, and there are good reasons to believe that the desire for more alcohol was the driving force behind the development of agriculture. Humans probably got their first tastes of alcohol from fallen fruit that naturally fermented.

"Oh, I have that problem, too. Sometimes I can't remember my name, who I am, anything."
"Oh no, I can remember just fine, I just don't know." (Actually, I hate those absurd
What is the upper limit of the human lifespan? I recently saw an article that concluded that there is no upper limit to the human lifespan, and I recalled that there had been something about the upper limit being about 300, because murder or accident will get you, if your body holds up that long. Ill look at the actuarial calculations for that, if I can find them. There are incurable diseases, but eventually cures will also be conquered, and the only real medically related problem will be getting
The One Who Dies Last Wins
I realize that I wrote about this a while back, but it might be a good time to revisit the matter. As I am sure you know, one of the foremost experts in longevity declared a few years ago that the first person who would live to be 1000 years old probably was already alive. I dont know whether he was right, but that may turn out to be true; Ill let you know in about a thousand years.
Even if humans dont start making it to a thousand, there
Aging is a more interesting subject than critical judgment, so I'll forget the other one for now. Have you noticed that some people look old before they hit forty, while others look youthful into their seventies? Even more interesting, some parts of bodies age faster than others. We all know about telomers, but this link tells of methylation of genes, as part of the aging process in addition to stopping the activity of genes, and it also tells of differential aging rates. http://io9.com/scientists-discover-p...ffn-1449085569

Reducing the file size in PowerPoint is always a good idea, particularly if your presentation is photo intense, such as in a digital photo album. Using many large photos in your presentation can cause your computer to become sluggish and possibly crash during your time in the spotlight.
Photo compression can quickly reduce the file size of one or all of your photos at the same time. This is a great tool to use if you must email your presentation to colleagues or clients.

Team views SMOS launcher hardware in Russia
Members of the SMOS team have just returned from Moscow after viewing components that make up the upper-composite of a Rockot launcher. The hardware is soon to be shipped to the launch site in readiness for liftoff at the beginning of November.
Team members from ESA and the French space agency CNES met in Moscow, Russia with representatives from Eurockot and Khrunichev to inspect the hardware that has been produced to carry ESA's SMOS and Proba-2 satellites into orbit later this year.
The Earth Explorer SMOS mission will make global observations of soil moisture over land and salinity over the oceans for a better understanding of Earth's water cycle. ESA's Proba-2 satellite will piggyback into orbit on the same Rockot launcher. Proba-2, which is less than one cubic metre, is the second of ESA's Project for OnBoard Autonomy series and carries new technologies that focus on solar and space weather observations.
Both are scheduled to be launched on 2 November by a Rockot launcher – a converted SS-19 Russian Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia. The adaptation of the SS-19 uses the original two lower liquid propellant stages of the ICBM in conjunction with a third stage, called Breeze-KM, for commercial payloads – optimised for delivering up to 1950 kg into low-Earth orbit. Launch is carried out by Eurockot Launch Services, which is a joint venture between EADS-Astrium and Khrunichev.
Whilst the first and second stages of the former ballistic missile are 'in stock', the Breeze-KM third stage is custom made for each satellite launch. GOCE, ESA's gravity mission, was placed into orbit in March this year with the same system.
The SMOS team were able to inspect hardware various components at the cleanroom at Khrunichev's facilities in Moscow. On display were the two half-shells of the fairing, which protects the satellite during the first ascent phase; the Breeze-KM third stage with its propulsion system and overall launcher control electronics; and the launch adapters for SMOS and Proba-2, which provide the mechanical interface between the satellites and the rocket.
Prior to the hardware being shipped to the launch site, the integrated Breeze-KM unit will undergo a final functional test. This is planned to be completed by early September, enabling the shipment of all the launcher hardware to the Plesetsk Cosmodrome by 8 September – just a few days before the SMOS satellite arrives in Russia and the launch campaign begins.

PhotoLA and Errata News Update...
In the service of shameless self-promotion...an Errata News update:
I had a great time at PhotoLA where the Errata books were very well received. It was a pleasure to connect with so many people including: Alan Valencia, Lawrence Barth, Jim Goldberg, Larry Sultan, Ken Schles, Oliver Woods, Steve Klug, Todd Hido, Chris Pichler, Bertrand Fleuret, Mike Slack, Charlotte Cotton, Mark Forker, Christianne Dearborn, Andy Adams, Andrew Hetherington, Susan Burnstine, Ed Templeton, Ray Barbee, Alex Worman, Leslie Awender, Eric Greco, Lee Kaplan, Amber Terranova, Paul Berlanga, Dan Shepherd, Susan Ehrens and many, many more.

I owe a huge thank you to Markus and Nina of the Schaden crew who made the trip a blast even though they refused to let me go swimming in the heated pool at their luxury digs in the Hills. Schaden.com in Germany now has a healthy stock of the Errata books so if that's your local store, go get 'em.
The series is also now available at The Strand Bookstore in New York City and they are priced at $31.95 which is 20% off list price. That is damn near what I originally wanted the books to cost in the planning stages so take advantage. The Strand Bookstore is at 12th street and Broadway in Manhattan.
The Strand Bookstore will also be hosting a launch party event for Errata Editions on February 19th. Present will be Chris Killip (In Flagrante) and John T. Hill (American Photographs) for a book signing. Stay tuned for more info as the date draws closer.
We are also proud to have been named on three Photoeye Magazine "Best Books of 2008" lists by Martin Parr, Gerry Badger and Andrew Phelps.
Errata books were also four of the ten bestsellers at Photoeye Bookstore for the week ending 01-09-2009
The limited editions are down to about 40 sets in case there are any fence-sitters out there biding their time. Once they're gone, they're gone for good.

The history of Rocky Flats
Re: "Former Rocky Flats site stirs concerns for some neighbors," Feb. 9 news story.
Your reporter Electra Draper did a commendable job in reporting on the current situation regarding new housing construction next to the closed Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant.
However, the article could have included mention of two very relevant publications. One is the series of reports by Dr. Carl Johnson, head of the Jefferson County Health Department, published in the 1980s. These reports showed a clear positive correlation of wind speed and direction from the Rocky Flats plant with increased human cancer rates downwind from the plant.
The other is the recent book "Full Body Burden" by Kristin Iversen, relating her coming of age in Arvada and her recent discovery of the plant's history. In particular, Iversen covers in detail the plutonium fires in 1957 and 1969 that could have become major environmental disasters had they not been brought under control by heroic plant workers who risked their lives to extinguish them. She also describes how the residents of Arvada were largely clueless about what actually went on at the plant.
Please continue to inform the public about this story.
Stephen L. Sargent, Arvada

When is good news really bad news? When it comes to four new union contracts with state workers that the Schwarzenegger administration is touting this week as evidence of pension reform.
California faces dangerously large unfunded liabilities for public worker pensions and retiree health care. The unions that represent public workers, quite understandably, have fought efforts to reduce those obligations and place more of the risks and responsibility for retirement on workers, instead of taxpayers. But the size of the obligations is so large (probably more than $100 billion, though probably not close to the half trillion cited in one Stanford study) that it's clear something must be done. Taxpayer dollars used to meet pension obligations are taxpayer dollars we can't use to educate children and provide health and human services programs for those who need them.
The new union deals are problematic in a couple of ways.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
One has to do with the details of the agreement. While current members will have to contribute more to their pensions, some of the so-called reforms -- particularly an increase in the retirement age from 50 to 55 for public safety workers -- are limited to new hires rather than current workers. Current workers, particularly baby boomers, are virtually certain to get so much more out of the system than they pay into it that they ought to be arrested for generational theft. They need to take more of the hit for this. That's a difficult position to take, politically and legally, but it's also the right one.
The second problem is strategic. Democrats in the legislature, cowardly and incorrectly, have been saying that pension reform can be done through collective bargaining. These contracts are already being used as evidence of that claim. Unfortunately, the state badly needs legislative action to limit pensions -- in part because it's legislative action (most notoriously the big benefit enhancements approved in 1999) that has created the huge pension obligations of today.
One caveat: There's a strong tendency on the right and among business groups to blame the state's budget problems exclusively on public employee unions. That's unfair and inaccurate. Californians themselves -- and their tendency to demand something for nothing -- is at the root of the problem.
But these unions are one important part of the problem. While they don't always seem to recognize it, they have a strong interest in being part of solutions to make state government fiscally solvent.
But savings on pension obligations can't be the only money that elected officials and voters grab to balance the budget and put the state on a better long-term footing. Everyone needs to give back -- from those who rely on public services to the wealthy and corporations, who have seen their taxes cut even as Californians experience government service cuts and income and sales tax increases. Robert Cruickshank of the progressive Internet-based organization Courage Campaign gets into this, with a thoughtful appraisal of criticism of public employee unions at PublicCEO.

Nintendo Wee
Oh, Japan. Is there no upper limit to the weirdness you can create? Sega of Japan recently unveiled a new urinal-based video game system. Small screens are mounted above the facility. This allows you to play one of four mini-games, which are controlled by pressure-sensitive plates inside the urinal measuring the direction and pressure of your, um, output. One of the games has you trying to blow the dress off a cute anime girl. With your dingus. Really, what could be worse? ... I'm imagining some sort of toilet-based Enola Gay simulator.

New American Talent/Dance benefits choreographers and dancers alike. See how company dancer Beth Terwilleger learned to speak a new language.
A dance career is often too short, therefore the work that goes into it must be intense and full of passion in order to squeeze as much out of it as possible. Any chance to work with a new artist or choreographer is a gift that promises the opportunity to grow in many ways. I am lucky enough to dance for a company that not only has a director who challenges and allows his dancers to grow with his work, but one that also brings in artists to add to the richness of the company's dancers and repertoire.
New American Talent/Dance allows for choreographers with a variety of voices and interpretations of movement to come into the world of Ballet Austin and help us grow. I feel very lucky to be a part of this project and constantly try to embrace the opportunity. With every choreographer, it is like turning into a sponge and soaking up as much as I can from the experience. Every choreographer I have worked with for NAT/D has spoken a new and different language. Some you will learn to speak better than others and some you may feel like you actually speak a little of already, but there is always a great amount of opportunity for growth.
This year I was chosen by Greg Dolbashian to be a part of his creative process and dance in his piece for NAT/D 2012. The experience of working with Greg was one that was truly unique to my dance career. Never, while growing up in a classical dance training environment, did I ever imagine I would be asked to explore the movement possibilities of dancing improvisational work, eyes closed, onstage during a performance. And this, exactly, is what Gregory asked me to do. The improvisational work in Greg's piece is heavily inspired by his own choreographic voice and movement style. Greg's language is unique and inspiring, but it was also exceptionally challenging ; attempting to speak his language was no easy task. Watching him move and hearing his deep understanding of movement and the emotion and the art that goes behind it allowed for me to fearlessly dive into his rehearsals. While I still feel I have a lot of work do to before I could even scrape the surface of what he is trying to pull from me as an artist, I know I have already really grown from the experience.
The beauty of a project like NAT/D is the opportunity for growth for all involved. Not only do the dancers gain from it, but the choreographers are given a group of artists willing to explore with them and, ultimately, help them develop as well. The dancers grow, the choreographers grow, and Ballet Austin as an organization grows and benefits greatly as well. This type of support in the art world is imperative for growth, and the more we all support each other, the stronger the art world will be.

The pair -- who are best known for their work on the excellent Dead Space -- are now officially heading up Acti's newly named Sledgehammer Games and apparently are already hard at work on an unannounced game.
Activision Publishing, Inc. today announced the appointments of industry veterans Glen A. Schofield as Vice President and General Manager and Michael Condrey as Vice President and COO of Sledgehammer Games, a new wholly-owned game development studio located in Foster City, California. Sledgehammer Games is currently in development on an as-yet-unannounced new videogame.Given their history at EA, it's not inconceivable that Schofield and Condrey will craft a new intellectual property which could be in a similar vein to that of Dead Space or Dante's Inferno.
Giz a cuddle... Dead Space -- the duo's former work at EA.
Bryn says: I'm sitting here torturing myself trying to think of an Activision franchise that compares to either survival horror or just general horror. And I can't. Given these chaps' sterling work on Dead Space, perhaps they will concentrate on bringing a new game to the Acti stable in a similar genre? Guitar Hero meets The House of the Dead please.

A startling 90% of wealthy families lose their wealth by the third generation; let that number sink in, 90%.1
In fact, you don't have to look hard to find an example of a fortune lost by a prominent family. Cornelius Vanderbilt built his wealth in railroads and shipping; at the time of his death in 1877, he had amassed what would have been more than $200 billion in today's dollars.2 While Cornelius lived a relatively modest lifestyle, his estate was squandered by his heirs who lived lavishly, using their wealth to achieve prominence in the New York social scene and build extravagant houses during America's Gilded Age. His children and grandchildren spent money so freely there wasn't a single millionaire among the 120 people who attended a Vanderbilt family reunion in 1972.3
After hearing about the Vanderbilts you may feel your heirs aren't prepared to inherit your wealth. If so, you aren't alone – 58% of Baby Boomers aren't confident in their children's ability to use an inheritance responsibly.⁴ But how can heirs – from the second, third or fourth generation – be so ham-handed with their wealth? Reasons vary, of course, but communication (and the lack thereof) is often the answer. It isn't unusual for people to keep money matters private, even within the confines of family. Nearly two-thirds of people surveyed (64%) admit they have disclosed little to nothing about their wealth to their children.4 In many families, talking about money is taboo, and most will put having the conversation off until something urgent happens and they have no choice. With emotions running high and the family in a place that already feels precarious, last-minute conversations can often lead to rash decisions, resulting in hurt feelings, preventable mistakes and even the loss of wealth. With so much at stake these simple guidelines may help you create a wealth transfer plan:
- Create and communicate your plan: Bequests from large to small should come with detailed instructions on how the estate should be managed and disseminated. Use a family meeting as an opportunity to explain your requests and prevent confusion among heirs.
- Review your plan: Making adjustments when there has been a change of circumstances like death or divorce is essential to keeping family members content and minimizing future disagreements.
- Organize your documents: Having all of your important documents organized will give you and your heirs peace of mind. Remember it's not just your financial documents. Tax statements, insurance policies, employment and military records, medical history and advanced health care directives should be available for your loved ones when necessary.
- Involve your financial advisor: When an executor has been identified, invite him/her to the annual meetings to openly discuss financial matters with your advisor. This will be an opportunity for the executor to ask questions to the person who knows the details of your finances. And don't be shy about asking your advisor to meet all of your heirs. By forging this relationship early, your heirs will better understand your wishes and have a resource to turn to if things get complicated.
Having an estate plan communicates many things to those you leave behind. It states what is important to you and who you trust to be in charge. Because it is your final statement, it carries great significance. Remember, the worst final bequest is an absent plan.
