PHOTOS: Andrew Mukamal Like You've Never Seen Him Before
Andrew Mukamal may have been the breakout style star of Bravo's shortlived Kell on Earth, but his style wasn't always so consistent. In an annotated photodiary for StyleList, Mukamal takes us through his life in outfits, some of which are downright shocking for their banality.
Why Did Kelly Cutrone Fire Her Assistant Andrew Mukamal?
We are sad to announce that Kelly Cutrone is parting ways with her Rick Owens-loving assistant Andrew Mukamal. Apparently Andrew's role on Kell on Earth made him reevaluate his career goals: namely, he didn't want to act like an assistant anymore.
Dying To See Rick Owens' Bedroom? Now's Your Chance
Rick Owens will transforming New York City's Salon 94 for a furniture exhibit inspired by his own home in Paris. According to WWD, the exhibit, titled "Pavane for a Dead Princess," will include "a low bed and curvilinear headboard cut from Spanish alabaster…a daybed made of wood, bronze and alabaster…[and] a floor-to-ceiling sheared mink curtain."
Kelly Cutrone Says Screw Bravo, Debuts YouTube Channel
Kelly Cutrone and the rest of her People's Revolution crew must be seriously mourning the loss of their Bravo reality show, "Kell on Earth", because they've taken to the internet to get their fix of fame. After Bravo dragged their feet on giving the show a second season, Cutrone, who doesn't seem like one to sit around and wait for things to happen, took matters into her own hands and started a YouTube channel, KellyCutroneTV, where you can get "daily missives" from the people of People's Revolution "served up piping hot."
Kell On Earth's Andrew Mukamal Shows Us His Room
It's hard not to be obsessed with Kelly Cutrone's assistant, Andrew Mukamal, whose gothic chicness grows on you episode after episode of Kell On Earth. He's creative, he's funny, he has insanely cool taste, and now, the reality TV star shows us his room and his clothes via personal style site, StyleLikeU.com.

I attended the Friday night performance of the musical "The Wizard of Oz" at Telstar's Helen C. Berry Auditorium. The Telstar Theater Department, with help from community members, produced a magical adaptation of L. Frank Baum's book. The scenery and props sparkled and the actors, singers, and dancers all hit their marks. Admittedly, I was skeptical when I first heard that the role of Toto would be played by an actor, not a dog. But, Isabella Bennett played Toto to perfection: whether it was trotting across the stage, cocking her head as she listened to Dorothy, or leaping into Dorothy's arms. I have to mention the actors who spent the most time on stage and who gave flawless performances: Anneliese Smith starred as Dorothy; Nick Johnson as the Scarecrow; Aaron Speakman as the Tin Man; and Greg Wheeler as the Lion. Unfortunately, a review of a high school production in a weekly paper usually doesn't get people to the play, because after a few nights, it is gone forever. However, this production gave five actors a second chance to be seen and to shine. Linda Stowell performed as the Winkie General with the troop of Winkies played by Bonnie Marshall, David Lane, Merrie Lee Ojeda, and Elton Cole. The program explained, "The Winkies were all in the 'Wizard of Oz' production here at Telstar in 1970… the first and last time it was performed here."

The Ethiopian Christian Artistic Tradition
Some of our readers may recall our mention of the Orthodox Arts Journal -- an Eastern Orthodox journal which found some of its inspiration by way of the NLM.
Last month Jonathan Pagineau had an interesting article, The Mystery of Ethiopian Iconography:
Ethiopian Christianity presents many mysteries to us, their unique use of Old Testament typology, their concentric churches, their claim of having the Ark of the Covenent and its use in liturgy – these all create an obscure but fascinating question. I went to Ethiopia in 2009 to discover more about their liturgical arts. I would like to share some of my findings with you.
Aside from the article itself, Jonathan shares some very interesting photographs from the Ethiopian Christian artistic tradition.

2. The colloid of claim 1 wherein said noble metal is silver.
3. The colloid of claim 1, wherein said plated nuclei have an edge layer up to about 40 nanometers and a thickness of up to about 12 nanometers.
4. The colloid of claim 1, wherein said matrix comprises gelatin.
5. The colloid of claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of said nuclei to said matrix is from about 1:5 to 1:30, on a dry basis.
Description The particulate metastable colloidal Group Ib metal such as silver of this invention is critically prepared on nuclei which have a particle size of less than about 20 nanometers (nm). The nuclei are subsequently electrolessly plated or coated, during the amplification process, with metallic silver. It is therefore clear that silver nuclei are particularly convenient as coating or plating with silver is facilitated, and in addition, silver nuclei of the required dimension are easily prepared. However, other materials that can be easily plated with silver may be substituted as nuclei. Examples include the noble metals, such as gold and palladium, a heavy metal sulfide such as silver sulfide, and nickel sulfide. Generally, the noble metals have the highest stability in gelatin dispersions, and accordingly, are particularly preferred. Nuclei preparation is begun by precipitating the metal in an aqueous solution of a peptizing agent, such as gelatin, other hydrophilic synthetic or natural polymers, or peptizers such as alkali metal fatty acid salts, e.g., sodium caprate, potassium palmitate, and sodium laurate. One convenient method of preparing ultra-fine nuclei of convenient size is by reduction with potassium borohydride. Other strong reducing agents such as citrate tannic acid, dextrin, and dimethylamineborane may also be used. A salt solution of the metal ion used to form the nuclei is added with vigorous stirring to the gelatin containing the reducing agent. A preferred metal salt is silver nitrate although any soluble silver form is acceptable. The reduction of the silver ions by the borohydride or other reducing agent gives exceedingly fine metal nuclei particles, which can be used as a substrate, during the amplification process, to form platelets of tabular shape of extremely fine size, leading to improved imaging. The nuclei dispersed in gelatin are then chill-set by cooling. The resulting dispersion is extruded through a screen to form nuclei dispersed in discrete gelatin particles. If a 50 mesh stainless steel screen is used, the 5-7 nm diameter nuclei are dispersed in gelatin having an average diameter of about 250-300 micrometers. Other division means, such as a blender, ball mill, etc. can be employed. To prevent the gelatin particles from agglutinating into large clumps, which would defeat uniform amplification in later use, the dispersion may be further diluted. The nuclei are plated with silver, and converted to the metastable form, by preparing a solution of, e.g., ionic silver, with a complexing agent, such as sodium sulfite in the presence of an alkaline earth ion promoter such as calcium acetate. If necessary, a buffering agent, to establish a pH of about 9.0 to about 10.0 may be added to the solution. The previously prepared nuclei are added to this silver-plating solution, together with a reducing agent. An exemplary reducing agent which operates at the established pH is potassium hydroquinone monosulfonate. Other reducing agents can be employed. The two solutions are mixed, and if necessary, the pH is again adjusted to maintain a value of 9.0-10 The amplification reaction proceeds to convert the silver to the metastable, non-spherical form. Positive presence of the reaction is confirmed by the color change undergone by the particles, which progressively proceeds from the initial yellow, to orange, magenta, purple, and finally blue. Extended amplification may be used to produce a green color. Thus, any of the intermediate colors, as well as the blue form, can be prepared. To stop the reaction at any point in the pathway, the reaction is quenched by dilution with water or by draining off the reactants. The remaining dispersion is collected, melted, and filtered. The collected particles are non-spherical in form with an average edge length of approximately 20 nm up to about 40 nm, and a thickness of about 6 nm up to about 12 nm. All forms having a non-yellow color are non-spherical. The resulting metastable silver colloid can be coated when desired on one or both sides of a substrate, which may be transparent or reflective, rigid or flexible, and solid or open textured, and "imaged" by exposure to a source of thermal energy. One such source is a thermal-head typewriter. Thus, the thermal head applied to the layer of metastable silver will develop a yellow image where ever the head is applied, against a, e.g., blue background corresponding to unexposed areas. The resulting image is stable at ambient temperatures. Furthermore, the metastable silver is thermally stable providing it is kept below the glass transition temperature of the medium in which the silver is dispersed. If desired, further stabilization of the image may be done by a variety of physical means, including lamination and use of protective overcoats. The resulting image has utility for applications including projection slides, reflection prints, identification-security cards, and bar-coded areas. In following the above process, certain parameters should be observed to optimize results. The initial preparation of the nuclei is important to improve uniformity of the final dispersion and image, as well as preventing aggregation that will hinder further preparation. Moreover, nuclei of small and uniform dimension provide better control over the color of the metastable phase selected and stability of the colloidal silver over time. Thus, a maximum average particle size of about 20 nanometers is preferred to provide ultra-fine particles. Nuclei prepared by borohydride reduction are preferred, although other ultra-fine metals, such as gold have been used with success. When gelatin is used in the preparation of the nuclei, its concentration can be relatively low, but yet allows the dispersion to be chill-set firmly. This permits the production of small particles of gelatin as a separate phase distinct from the aqueous phase, which is preferred. The amount of gelatin can be reduced to the lowest value where the gelatin particles still retain integrity. Weight ratios of nuclei material, as e.g., silver to dry gelatin (or other peptizing agents), can be from about 1:30 to as high as about 1:5. In the final imaging material, the energy requirement for conversion depends on the ratio of plated silver to gelatin. If the ratio is too low (high gelatin), more energy is required because the heat is dissipated in the gelatin. As noted, the nuclei may be silver, but other metals, particularly noble metals or heavy metal sulfides, can be used as well. Concentration and size are of equal importance in determining color and stability of the amplified particles. In the amplification mixture, the weight ratio of the amplified metallic silver to peptizing agent may be as high as about 1:1. The degree of amplification of the silver particles governs the resulting color. Lower degrees of amplification will result in particles having "transition" colors, e.g., orange, magenta or purple; the highest amplification gives larger particles, having a blue or green color. The amplification value of nuclei to silver controls the degree of color change. An amplification factor of 2 gives a discernable color change. Values as high as 50 may be used. The amplification chemistry performs optimally in the presence of certain compounds. A negatively charged complexing agent, such as sulfite is preferred. Other known agents, such as thiocyanates and thiosulfates tend to recrystallize or otherwise convert the formed platelets into spheres, the stable phase, in contrast to sulfite which preferentially stabilizes platelet, or non-spherical growth. Care should be take to maintain the concentration of sulfite below a maximum level. Excess sulfite concentration or long-term exposure, further stabilizes the platelets, making them difficult to recrystallize, and produce an acceptable yellow image. Thus, a minimum weight ratio of sodium sulfite to silver nitrate of 2:1 should be observed to promote platelet growth, but should not exceed a maximum weight ratio of 20:1. Calcium or other alkaline earth ions are also useful in promotion of platelet formation, and in particular, for uniformity of amplification. Calcium is preferably provided by gelatin itself, but can be provided from any convenient salt which is easily dissolved and should be maintained at a low concentration. The pH of the amplification chemistry should be maintained between 9.0-10 At lower pHs, the amplification rate is lowered, resulting in a termination of the color transition at the magenta stage. A preferred pH range is 9.25-9.5. Borax conveniently buffers the amplification solution at a pH of 9.0-9.5. Other buffers may be used to obtain the desired pH. In the preparation of the solutions to be employed in the amplification reaction, and the stable preparation of tabular silver, precautions must be observed to ensure the absence of any recrystallizing agents, that would convert the product back to the yellow form. In particular, the significant presence of halides should be excluded, but other possible recrystallizing agents, such as certain surfactants should also be avoided. In general, the concentration values in the amplification chemistry should be balanced to ensure that diffusion of the chemicals through the dispersing phase proceeds apace with silver deposition. Thus, a complexing agent is used to limit available silver, while alkaline earth ions tend to promote deposition. The invention can be further understood by reference to the Examples set forth below. The first two examples illustrate preparation of the metastable silver colloid, which has extended shelf life in the absence of halide ions at temperatures below about 100 This example describes the preparation of metastable colloidal silver by amplification of a slurry of gelatin particles containing pre-formed nuclei. The nuclei are prepared as follows: Deionized gelation (3.5 g) was dissolved in distilled water (350 ml). Potassium borohydride (0.18 g) was added with stirring and the solution was heated to 40 distilled water (100 ml) was added rapidly in one portion with vigorous stirring. This mixture was then added with stirring to a deionized gelatin in water solution (7.7 g/500 ml). Additional water was added to adjust the weight (to 1.0 kg), and the mixture was cooled below 0 chill-setting. The resulting dispersion of nuclei 5-7 nm in diameter was pressed through a 50 mesh stainless steel screen to produce gelatin particles about 280 micrometers in diameter. To prevent the gelatin from agglutinizing into large clumps, the dispersion was further diluted with twice its weight in water. The amplification process is described below: A solution of silver nitrate (0.60 g in 50 mL distilled water) was added with stirring to a solution (500 mL) of anhydrous sodium sulfite (1.2 g), sodium tetraborate decahydrate (5.0 g), and calcium acetate monohydrate (0.025 g) and then cooled to 15 To a portion of the previously prepared nuclei dispersion (150 g) chilled to 10 g/200 mL) was added with stirring and cooling. This solution was added with moderate stirring to the cooled "silver nitrate sulfite-borate" solution at 15 adjusted to pH 9.37 with dilute nitric acid or sodium hydroxide. During this amplification the particles undergo a color change from yellow to orange to magenta to purple to blue. The reaction may be quenched at a given time to produce a metastable silver of a given hue; blue particles were specifically produced by pouring the slurry into 1.5 1 of distilled water at 10 collected by passage of the slurry through a fine-mesh nylon dispersion bag, then redispersed in 3.0 l distilled water at 10 being stirred occasionally for 10 minutes, the particles ware again collected in a nylon mesh bag, immediately melted, and filtered through Whatman No. 2 paper. The blue metastable silver produced by the above preparation was essentially triangular tabular in form with edge length of approximately 20 nanometers and about 6 nanometers in thickness with an average mass approximately that of Carey Lea silver. The suitability of these silver particles was tested using the following "chloride test". One drop of filtered material was diluted to 10 ml with 2% potassium chloride solution. An immediate conversion from blue to yellow was observed. This demonstrated that the silver sol had the desired properties and was converted from the metastable platelet form to the stable spherical yellow form. This example is similar to Example 1 but illustrates how metastable colloidal silver may be prepared in a variety of hues by modification of the amplification process. The preparations of the colloids was as described in Example 1, however, the solution of silver nitrate specified previously as 0.60 g in 50 mL distilled water was changed for the amplification process. The following results were obtained: ______________________________________AMPLIFICATION COLLOID PRODUCEDSilver Nitrate factor* Color max (nm)______________________________________0. g/50 mL 0 Yellow 404(control)0.08 g/50 mL 5 4700.15 g/50 mL 100.25 g/50 mL 150.40 g/50 mL 250.60 g/50 mL 35(Ex. 1)0.80 451.00 g/50 mL 55______________________________________ *Amplification factor is that ratio of the average particle mass of physically developed nuclei compared with the average particle mass of th starting nuclei. This example describes the preparation of metastable colloidal gold by a silver displacement reaction. To a dispersion of metastable colloidal silver (3.0 g) (consisting of 0.45 weight percent silver in 0.8 weight percent gelatin) (prepared as described in Example 1), a solution of potassium chloraurate (0.15 g) dissolved in water (9.5 g) was added dropwise with vigorous stirring. During the addition, the color changed from blue to purple to dark orange to neutral. Analysis indicated the silver particles were exchanged completely by gold (a metallic gold representing 0.21 percent of the dispersion weight). The colloid was coated on a transparent poly(ethylene terephthalate) support, dried, and found to have a nearly neutral absorption spectrum. The suitability of these gold particles was tested using a "heat test". The coating was placed on top of a hot plate heated to approximately 135 burgundy was observed. This demonstrated that the gold sol had the desired properties and was converted from the metastable form to the stable spherical burgundy form. This example demonstrates image formation by application of thermal energy to the colloid, as coated on a support. The metastable silver colloid coating was prepared using the colloid described in Example 1. On a 175 micrometer thick polyethylene terephthalic support a subbed layer of deionized bone gelatin (6.5 g/m.sup.2) and bis(vinylsulfonyl)methane (6.34 g/m.sup.2) was coated. On top of the subbed layer, the colloid of Example 1 (0.27 g/m.sup.2) in deionized bone gelatin (1.1 g/m.sup.2) was coated. The silver colloid coating was placed coated side out, on the platen of a Sears 600 portable thermal typewriter, Catalog Number 3H5394C, and the machine was set in the mode used to print images on thermal paper without a ribbon. Characters were typed and appeared as yellow areas where heated by the thermal head. Other methods of delivering heat to the coating may be used. The formation of discrete yellow images appear to require a minimum energy threshold of about 1.6 nanojoule per 1 micrometer spot. 1. Field of the Invention This invention is directed to a preparation involving Group Ib metals which may be selectively, thermally recrystallized to provide a differentiated color form useful for imaging. In a preferred embodiment, a particulate metastable silver colloid is prepared, which may be subsequently distributed on a substrate, and selectively subjected to thermal energy, to provide a yellow image on a differentiated background. 2. Background of the Prior Art Defensive Publication T 900,010 describes blue colloidal silver of relatively large particle diameter, which is unstable, and is formed in-situ on a support and subsequently converted to a yellow image on a blue field by the application of halide ions. The halide imaging agent can be transferred from exposed and developed silver halide sources, such as previously developed film, or from an alternative source, such as human skin. The invention that is the subject of this Defensive Publication by Shuman provides a method for creating distinct yellow images, against a blue background, with minimal difficulty. However, the composition is merely a precursor, requires final preparation on the support itself, and has minimal commercial value. Thus, the Defensive Publication does not describe a practical method for preparing a stable composition which may be used to form a layer on a support and converted, at a later time, nor does it provide a stable preparation which may be subsequently applied to a substrate and imaged. Moreover, the halide chemical imaging process of the Defensive Publication is in many ways constrained, and does not permit the fine control necessary for thermal imaging. Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide a metastable silver composition which may be selectively converted to provide a yellow image, without the drawbacks and obstacles noted that characterize the prior art. The obstacles encountered in the prior art in the preparation of a metastable silver having adequate shelf life and capable of being selectively imaged are met by providing a particulate metastable Group Ib metal colloid which, when coated on a support, can be converted from a non-spherical particulate form of a first color to a stable spherical particulate form of a second color by the application of thermal energy, said colloid comprising nuclei having an electrolessly plated layer thereon of said Group Ib metal dispersed in a coatable matrix, said colloid being stable against conversion to said spherical particulate form at ambient temperature conditions. These nuclei are created by adding a solution of stable metal-ion containing material, e.g., silver nitrate, to a silver peptizing agent such as an aqueous gelatin solution containing a reducing agent such as potassium borohydride. If the peptizing agent is gelatin, the suspended silver nuclei are stirred and then cooled to set the gelatin. The resulting solid dispersion is pressed through a screen, to produce metal nuclei within gelatin particles of defined diameter. Finally, the preparation is further diluted to provide a slurry of nuclei in a solid gelatin matrix distinct from the aqueous phase. Although this medium is preferably gelatin, other hydrophilic polymers or alkali metal fatty acid salts as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,814,696 may be used. The nuclei in the dispersion are amplified by treatment with a solution of a hydroquinone monosulfonate or similar reducing compound, which solution is in turn added to a silver sulfite solution. The sulfite complexing solution also contains an agent, e.g., a calcium salt, for promoting the growth of silver platelet forms. The formation of the metastable form of silver will go forward at an appropriate pH of about 9.0-10.0, undergoing a progressive color change which starts at yellow, and proceeds to orange - magenta - purple - blue. The reaction can be quenched at any time by dilution with distilled water, to produce metastable silver-coated particles of any desired color prepared in the reaction process. The metastable silver particles in distinct phase are collected by filtration through a nylon mesh bag or similar means, and are stable as prepared. This metastable form has extended shelf life under refrigeration. When subsequently applied to a support and dried, the preparation can be selectively "imaged", that is, converted to the stable yellow form, by the application of thermal energy. This creates a yellow image against a blue, or other color background. Unlike the prior art that refers to production of a homogeneous matrix, in the present invention, discrete particles are preferentially produced, so that the product is more easily concentrated and purified. Furthermore, because excess salts are removed which tend to retard silver conversion, the invention offers better control of thermal sensitivity. Although silver is preferred, metastable colloids can be prepared from other Group Ib metals such as gold and copper. Colloidal metallic gold is prepared using a gold salt to displace any metal more electronegative (less noble) to redox displacement. For example, the metastable silver of this invention is a convenient source of the displacement reaction because it will generate gold particles of nearly the same size as the starting silver nuclei. Such displacement reactions usually produce a colloid with a sintered non-spherical shape with optical properties different than the corresponding spherical colloid. These non-spherical particles are convertible to the spherical form accompanied by a color change by input of thermal energy. Thus, the colloidal preparation of this invention is generally obtained by forming nuclei of a size less than about 20 nanometers in diameter dispersed in a matrix, mixing a solution of said nuclei-containing dispersion with a Group Ib metal ion-containing solution, allowing the nuclei in said solution to be electrolessly plated with said Group Ib metal, said plated nuclei being capable of undergoing a color change, and quenching said plating process to obtain particles of the desired color.

It's a heavy read, but worth it — dive into OnSugar blog Reach For the Stars and her analysis on rock stars as fashion icons.
There's no doubt music has a tremendous influence over fashion and how people dress. Musicians in particular have become fashion icons for many, myself included, as I look to the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Izzy Stradlin for inspiration. Think of the magnificent Axl Rose in his heyday — oversized leather and tight, tight bicyle shorts. This influenced his good friend Donatella Versace to re-create a look on the catwalk that was oddly familiar to the fiery redhead singer and was recognized throughout the '90s as a signature trend.
Then there's David Bowie and his alter ego Ziggy Stardust, who styled a generation through its decadence of glitz and glamour. Go back to the '60s when Beatlemania was overtaking the world and London was the fashion hotspot. Paco Rabanne was the designer and his style of prints, PVC, and tailoring dressed the nation. Skirts had never been so short and boots so high. A rebellion against the classic and conservative style of the '50s with their full netted skirts, when showing some ankle was seen as incredibly risque. It was a fresh and exciting time, there was a new movement in music and with it fashion.

Needless to say, Opie's career in tabloid journalism results in naught but headaches for all concerned.

Causes of Low Potassium in Women and Men
Potassium plays an important role in the body functions of cells and nerves for men and women alike. Some of the symptoms potassium deficiency causes are; muscle cramps, constipation, feeling tired and in extreme cases it can be life threatening and require immediate medical assistance.
What causes low potassium levels in the body?
There are many known causes of low potassium in women and men and some of them are; low potassium intake, diarrhea or vomiting, certain diseases and medicines or even excessive consumption of cola.
Even though starvation or a diet low on potassium is one of the potential causes of potassium deficiency. It usually doesn't occur without a larger than normal potassium loss from the body.
Diarrhea and vomiting can flush out a large part of our potassium reserves and are some of the reasons for low potassium by abnormal loss from the gastrointestinal tract.
Another common way our potassium reserves can get flushed out is through the urine. This is often caused by kidney related diseases or medicines. Examples of kidney diseases that are known to be one of the main low potassium causes are renal turbular acidosis and renal failure. And any medicine that leads to increased urination is a potential cause of potassium deficiency as well as laxatives. Examples of other medicines that could cause hypokalemia in the long run are the cancer drug cisplatin and the antifungal drug amphotericin B. If in doubt consult your doctor.
Extreme intake of cola on for an extended period of time (4-10liters/1-2,5gallons per day) can also be the cause of low potassium, but that might not be the greatest health issue if you drink that much cola.
For further information on what causes potassium deficiency and how it applies to your specific situation I highly recommend consulting your own doctor. Especially if you suspect, you are losing potassium due to flushing of the gastrointestinal tract or urine due to some of the causes mentioned above or any other cause for that matter.

Here are some observations from the election results in the Wisconsin recall race. For the results I've used the convenient interactive maps provided by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and the Huffington Post. When you look at the map, you notice that Democrat Tom Barrett won only in a relatively few counties, 12 of 72. He was reduced to the Democratic base: Madison and a few surrounding counties, the central city of Milwaukee but definitely not the suburbs, a few old factory towns like LaCrosse and Stevens Point, three counties up on Lake Superior near Duluth, Minnesota, and the Menominee Indian Reservation. Everything else went for Scott Walker.
Turnout in this election was really high: 2,507,269, compared to 2,160,832 in November 2010 and closer to the 2,984,417 in November 2008. Much has been made of the exit poll finding that union members were one-third of the total, up from 2010, but we see evidence of this in county returns as well. Turnout was up 16% statewide, but it was up 20% in Kenosha County and in Douglas County (Superior) which have had lots of blue collar voters. Walker's percentage as compared to 2010 declined 6.2% in Douglas County, more than in any other county in the state, and Kenosha County was one of the few counties Walker carried in 2010 but lost in 2012. Turnout was up 16% in Milwaukee County, suggesting that black turnout was fairly robust, and up 15% in Dane County (Madison), the epicenter of anti-Walker forces and up 22% and 25% in adjacent Columbia and Dodge Counties, which were two of the 16 counties where Walker's percentage fell from 2010 to 2012. One has visions of Madison Occupy-types heading out to canvass in rural areas nearby. Conclusion: the union and leftish Democrats did a good job of turning out their voters. It was like the 2004 presidential race in Ohio, where the Kerry forces did a great job turning out voters in central cities, but were still beaten because there was also heavy turnout in small and medium-sized counties of strongly motivated Republican voters. Such was the case in Wisconsin.
Walker's percentage rose most in small counties in the northwestern quadrant of the state and near Green Bay. These were mostly Barack Obama territory in 2008; the rise in Walker percentage suggests that confrontational tactics hurt Democrats there (as I speculated in a blogpost last night) and they might hurt Obama there as well.
The strongly committed areas remain very strongly committed. Turnout in Dane County, as noted, was up 15%, but Walker's percentage declined by just 0.5%. In Waukesha County, just west of Milwaukee, Washington County, to the northwest, and Ozaukee County, directly north, turnout was up 13%, 17% and 12%. Voters in these high income areas usually vote in large numbers, so perhaps there wasn't much room for improvement. Walker's percentages increased only slightly in these counties, 0.9%, 0.6% and 1.8% respectively, but they were very high. In Milwaukee County, Walker's percentage was up 3.6%, suggesting pretty robust turnout in black areas but even greater increases in white suburbs. The result in all cases was greater popular vote majorities than in the 2010 election, which I've shown in the table below.
County 2012 margin 2010 margin
Dane 98,485 Barrett 81,461 Barrett
Waukesha 96,036 Walker 81,924 Walker
Washington 35,656 Walker 29,946 Walker
Ozaukee 20,206 Walker 16,646 Walker
Milwaukee 106,660 Barrett 81,320 Barrett
Rest of state 224,912 Walker 167,956 Walker
WISCONSIN 171,665 Walker 124,638 Walker
In other words, these big counties voted pretty much as before, but in larger numbers. The net vote-shifting to Walker was greater in the rest of the state.

Life of Pi
Yann Martel
About the book:
The son of a zookeeper, Pi Patel has an encyclopedic knowledge of animal behavior and a fervent love of stories. When Pi is sixteen, his family emigrates from India to North America aboard a Japanese cargo ship, along with their zoo animals bound for new homes.
The ship sinks. Pi finds himself alone in a lifeboat, his only companions a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi, whose fear, knowledge, and cunning allow him to coexist with Richard Parker for 227 days while lost at sea. When they finally reach the coast of Mexico, Richard Parker flees to the jungle, never to be seen again. The Japanese authorities who interrogate Pi refuse to believe his story and press him to tell them "the truth." After hours of coercion, Pi tells a second story, a story much less fantastical, much more conventional–but is it more true?
About the author:
Yann Martel, the child of diplomats, grew up in Costa Rica, France, Mexico, Alaska, and Canada and as an adult has spent time in Iran, Turkey, and India. After studying philosophy at Trent University, he worked at odd jobs until he began making a living as a writer at the age of twenty-seven. He lives in Montreal.
God, survival, and tiger behavior. It's hard to imagine a more invigorating combination of discussion topics. We hope that the following questions will enrich your reading of Pi's fantastic journey. After all, Pi didn't have to make his voyage alone; neither should you. May this guide serve as a pleasant companion.
Discussion Questions:
1. In his introductory note Yann Martel says, "This book was born as I was hungry." What sort of emotional nourishment might Life of Pi have fed to its author?
2. Pondicherry is described as an anomaly, the former capital of what was once French India. In terms of storytelling, what makes this town a appropriate choice for Pi's upbringing?
3. Yann Martel recalls that many Pondicherry residents provided him with stories, but he was most intrigued by this tale because Mr. Adirubasamy said it would make him believe in God. Did Pi's tale alter your beliefs about God?
4. Early in the novel, we discover that the narrator majored in religious studies and zoology, with particular interests in a sixteenth-century Kabbalist and the admirable three-toed sloth. In subsequent chapters, he explains the ways in which religions and zoos are both steeped in illusion. Discuss some of the other ways in which these two fields find unlikely compatibility.
5. Yann Martel sprinkles the novel with italicized memories of the "real" Pi Patel and wonders in his author's note whether fiction is "the selective transforming of reality, the twisting of it to bring out its essence." If this is so, what is the essence of Pi?
6. Pi's full name, Piscine Molitor Patel, was inspired by a Parisian swimming pool that "the gods would have delighted to swim in." The shortened form refers to the ratio of a circle's circumference divided by its diameter. Explore the significance of Pi's unusual name.
7. One reviewer said the novel contains hints of The Old Man and the Sea, and Pi himself measures his experience in relation to history's most famous castaways. Considering that Pi's shipwreck is the first to focus on a boy and his tiger, how does Life of Pi compares to other maritime novels and films?
8. How might the novel's flavor have been changed if Pi's sole surviving animal were the zebra or Orange Juice? (We assume that if the hyena had been the only surviving animal, Pi would not have lived to tell us his story.)
9. In chapter 23, Pi sparks a lively debate when all three of his spiritual advisors try to claim him. At the heart of this confrontation is Pi's insistence that he cannot accept an exclusively Hindu, Christian, or Muslim faith; he can only be content with all three. What is Pi seeking that can solely be attained by this apparent contradiction?
10. What do you make of Pi's assertion at the beginning of chapter 16 that we are all "in limbo, without religion, until some figure introduces us to God"? Do you believe that Pi's piousness was a response to his father's atheism?
11. Among Yann Martel's gifts is a rich descriptive palette. Regarding religion, he observes the green elements that represent Islam and the orange tones of Hinduism. What color would Christianity be, according to Pi's perspective?
12. How do the human beings in your world reflect the animal behavior observed by Pi? What do Pi's strategies for dealing with Richard Parker teach us about confronting the fearsome creatures in our lives?
13. Besides the loss of his family and possessions, what else did Pi lose when the Tsimtsum sank? What did he gain?
14. Nearly everyone experiences a turning point that represents the transition from youth to adulthood, albeit seldom as traumatic as Pi's. What event marks your coming of age?
15. How do Mr. Patel's zookeeping abilities compare to his parenting skills? Discuss the scene in which his tries to teach his children a lesson in survival by arranging for them to watch a tiger devour a goat. Did this in any way prepare Pi for the most dangerous experience of his life?
16. Why did Pi at first try so hard to save Richard Parker?
17. Pi imagines that his brother would have teasingly called him Noah. How does Pi's voyage compare to the biblical story of Noah, who was spared from the flood while God washed away the sinners?
18. Is Life of Pi a tragedy, romance, or comedy?
19. Do you agree with Pi's opinion that a zoo is more like a suburb than a jail?
20. How did you react to Pi's interview by the Japanese transport ministers? Did you ever believe that Pi's mother, along with a sailor and a cannibalistic cook, had perhaps been in the lifeboat with him instead of the animals? How does Yann Martel achieve such believability in his surprising plots?
21. The opening scene occurs after Pi's ordeal has ended. Discussing his work in the first chapter, Pi says that a necktie is a noose, and he mentions some of the things that he misses about India (in spite of his love for Canada). Would you say that this novel has a happy ending? How does the grown-up version of Pi contrast with his little-boy scenes?

This only happens on occasion and is a very weird problem.
I'm running Snow Leopard version 10.6.3 on a MacBook and this only happens occasionally (once a month). At random times, no matter what site I am viewing some audio will start playing in the background. It always discusses the Kansas City Chiefs or something else football related. Its always the ESPN sportscasters, and randomly other people will be interviewed but they are always discussing football. Granted, I am very big Chiefs fan and I do a lot of reading about them online. However, this audio plays at a very random time and I am 100% positive that even after I close every single application (force quit or not) it still plays. I have forced quit every application, reopened them, and forced quit them again. Nothing is running in dashboard, and I am just stumped. It's not a vital problem by any means since it normally stops within 10 minutes. I just think it is very bizzarre that it starts in no consistent situation, yet every application is closed while it is running. Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks! |

This Beatles fan dreams of going to all the places the Fab Four have
made iconic
by Christopher Toh
Mar 26, 2011
JUST over a week ago, a couple of friends of mine packed their bags
and did something that I've always longed to do but never had the
gall - or finances - to pursue: Take a jaunt around the world.
Actually, I'm pretty sure all of us have, at one time or other,
dreamed of just dropping everything and just take off into the sunset
to see what tomorrow will bring. Most of us haven't done anything
about it because to us, that's just ... a dream.
But now, as I reach the ripe old age where I worry about mid-life
crises, planning wills and constructing a bucket list, I've begun
once again to dream. However, my ultimate round-the-world trip isn't
a trip to nowhere.
See, I am a Beatles fan. I have been for quite a while now. So I've
been thinking of making the ultimate Beatle pilgrimage.
True, I've already been to Abbey Road studios in London (where they
recorded almost all of their songs), and to be honest, until this
year, I'd only penned down "Liverpool" (where they were from and
where the Hard Day's Night Hotel is located) and "Hamburg" (where
they did stints before becoming famous) as the ultimate stops for all
things Beatles. (Plus, they have Beatles museums there.)
However, in January, a 53-year-old accountant called Rodolfo Vazquez
from Buenos Aires opened his own Beatles museum in Avenue Corrientes.
His collection has made it into the Guinness Book Of Records as the
largest collection of Beatles paraphernalia.
And it made me realise how truly global the Fab Four were. It also
meant I had to revise my pilgrimage plans, as I jotted down all the
different destinations to find all things Beatles. (To make things
easier, I only included destinations visited before the group
officially split up in 1970.)
The first was easy enough: Paya Lebar airport. Yes, the Fab Four did
transit there en route to Hong Kong in 1964. (And since I've been to
Hong Kong, I'm going to scratch that off the list.)
The list now includes several regional destinations, including
Adelaide, where a reported 350,000 fans lined the streets, from
Tapleys Hill Road and Anzac Highway all the way into the city to the
Adelaide Town Hall, to greet their heroes in 1964 - and Ringo Starr
wasn't even with them at the time! (He was temporarily replaced by
Jimmy Nicol). And Manila, where they got roughed up in 1966;
Rishikesh in India, where they studied with the Maharishi in 1968;
and of course, the most Beatles-mad city in Asia - Tokyo, where they
were the first rock band to perform at the Budokan arena in 1966.
Further afield, there's Paris' George V hotel, where they wrote their
No 1 hit, Can't Buy Me Love; there's Obertauern, the famous tourist
destination in Austria, where the boys filmed the ski scenes for the
movie, Help!; and New Providence in the Bahamas - the Nassau Beach
Hotel to be exact - again for scenes in Help!. (Although traveller
reviews have said you do not want to stay there - and judging from
the photos, I agree.)
Of course, there's the United States. Pick any city and you can
probably find some Beatles reference: There's Waycross, Georgia, for
example, the site where the one of the now-infamous "Beatles
burnings" took place after the public got incensed by John Lennon's
"Beatles are bigger than Jesus" quote. There's Candlestick Park in
San Francisco, where the Fab Four played their last gig. Los Angeles,
where they played the Hollywood Bowl. Or even Washington DC, where
the Beatles played their first ever concert at the Washington Coliseum.
But if you only can go to one Stateside destination, it has to be New
York City. They made their first TV appearance there on The Ed
Sullivan Show (the Ed Sullivan Theatre is still there), did their
first Stateside photoshoot in Central Park (where there are other
John Lennon tributes), and they performed at Shea Stadium (now called
Citifield Stadium) - the first rock band to play outdoor arenas.
So yeah, yeah, yeah - there're loads to choose from.
The only thing is this: I figure by the time I save enough to go on
this pilgrimage, I'll be 64 (geddit?). And who knows if there'll be
life left in these old bones to go on a world tour? Maybe it'll be
only in my dreams.
And yes, you may say I'm a dreamer. But I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Luke Youlden resisted big pressure from a pack of pursuers to win the first Sandown 500 qualifying heat in Shane van Gisbergen's Stone Brothers Ford.
The grid for V8 Supercars' first endurance event of 2012 is being set via two 20-lap qualifying races on Saturday. The first sees the co-drivers at the wheel and decides the grid for the second, where the full-season regulars take over. The result of heat two sets the field for Sunday's 500-kilometre race.
Youlden jumped into the lead from third on the grid at the start, ahead of John McIntyre in the Ford Performance Racing Falcon that Will Davison had put on pole.
As a long lead train developed, McIntyre hung on in second until lap 16, when Dean Canto battled past in David Reynolds' FPR/Rod Nash Ford.
That also opened the door for Paul Dumbrell, driving a spectacular race in championship leader Jamie Whincup's Triple Eight Holden. Dumbrell charged through from 10th on the grid to fourth in the opening few laps, then pounced on McIntyre as Canto passed him.
Canto would also lose out to Dumbrell on the final lap, and he came within two tenths of a second of snatching victory from Youlden at the flag.
Front-row starter Nick Percat lost ground away from the line and finished sixth in the #2 Holden Racing Team car, behind Craig Lowndes' Triple Eight partner Warren Luff.
Whincup's main title rival Mark Winterbottom would not have enjoyed seeing his FPR Ford finish only 19th after Steven Richards was spun by Paul Morris at the first corner.
