"All Types of Textures Workshop" for pre-kindergarten artists will be offered from 10 to 11 a.m. July 28. Young artists, with the help of their caregivers, will develop fine motor skills and a curiosity about the textural world around them by capturing textures on an art walk in the City Park. Once back in the classroom, the children will develop their scissors skills to cut their rubbings into shapes or stripes and glue their pieces into a collaged artwork. Enrollment is limited.
Artist and award-winning teacher Virginia Hicks will offer "Amazing Animals In Art Camp" for artists in kindergarten through fifth grades from July 30 through Aug. 3. The camp will meet daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Students will create collages, paintings, three-dimensional animal masks and sculptures.
Artist and teacher Sarah Ferguson will offer a unique "Garden Art Workshop" Aug. 4. Young artists will use a variety of materials to create adornments for their gardens at home including wind chimes, flowerpots and birdbaths. The class will meet from 9 a.m. to noon for students in kindergarten through third grades, and from 1 to 4 p.m. for students in fourth through eighth grades.

Mondo Celebrates 'The Hobbit' In Best Way Possible: By Releasing New Posters for 'Lord of the Rings'
Movie News By Kate Erbland on December 12, 2012 | 1 CommentWhile some might think that the best way to celebrate the release of a new film is to perhaps craft some art based on said new film, the folks over at Mondo have decided to use their poster celebration (posterbration?) of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey to honor Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy instead. Sounds good to us!
Everyone's favorite poster shop (and the official collectible art division of the Alamo Drafthouse) will release the Olly Moss-made posters tomorrow, December 13. The posters each measure 15″ x 36″. The regular edition (as shown up top) is limited to 580 posters (priced at $50) and the variant edition is limited to just 285 (priced at $90). Make sure to follow @MondoNews on Twitter for the exact sale time for these Hobbit-celebrating LOTR posters.
Check out the variant after the break!

The American people haven't a clue as to what is happening under their noses and on their dime. Check out the Jihad at Kent State.
ME AND JULIO DOWN BY THE SCHOOLYARD Mike Adams hat tip Atlas readers
Yesterday afternoon, I logged on to the "Global War" blog (global-war.bloghi.com) of Associate Professor Julio Pino – a Muslim convert who teaches at Kent State University. The heading for the site used to read "The Worldwide Web of Jihad: Daily News from the Most Dangerous Muslim in America." Now it reads "Are You Prepared for Jihad?" IN THE NAME OF OBL. 2007: THE YEAR OF ISLAMIC VICTORY!"
Hardly able to believe what I was reading, I called Pino at his office in Ohio around 4 p.m. According to his secretary, he had not been at work that day (he only has office hours two days of the week). He was drawing a paycheck from the people of the State of Ohio while trying to launch a Jihad against people like me. In fact, just five minutes before I called he posted an entry under the title "Crusaders Can't Take Anymore in Afghanistan!"
An Israeli soldier stands in front of Palestinian graffiti that reads "Islamic Jihad movement in Palestine" and "Hamas" in the West Bank City of Nablus February 25, 2007. Israeli forces raided the West Bank city of Nablus on Sunday, putting 30,000 Palestinians under curfew as soldiers searched for wanted militants. An Israeli army spokesman said troops used rubber bullets and tear gas against Palestinians throwing rocks and cement blocks and that two soldiers were slightly wounded by an explosive charge. REUTERS/Loay Abu Haykel (WEST BANK)
Related Audio: Walid Phares, author of Future Jihad Pino began his morning of not going into his office at Kent State by penning a post under the title "Frightened British Crusaders Rush More Troops to Occupied Afghanistan." Using terms like "occupation" and "Crusaders" it isn't really necessary to read these posts in order to ascertain who this employee of the State of Ohio is rooting for in the War on Terror.
But, just in case you were curious about the purpose of this site, it is provided in the upper right corner: "We are a jihadist news service, and provide battle dispatches, training manuals, and jihad videos to our brothers worldwide. All we want is to get Allah's pleasure. We will write 'Jihad' across our foreheads, and the stars. The angels will carry our message throughout the world."
There is also an "Oath of Freedom" in the upper right corner: "We were born free. We will live freely and when death comes to us, we will die freely. Jihad is changing all that can be changed; freeing ourselves through our own efforts; and the conviction that truth will prevail, inshallah."
Under the entry "Sister Detonates Herself to Eliminate Shia Traitors" there is a description of a female suicide bomber who recently killed 41 people. Just in case you wondered how the host of the site feels about the suicide bomber, the next line tells you: "Now she lies on the Golden Couch of Paradise."
Despite his clear support of mass murder, he once complained that the Jews were engaged in genocide against the Palestinians. He claimed that as a result of that assertion, he was "harassed" and received "death threats."

University Special Projects
Some research projects were funded directly by the tobacco companies, rather than through CTR or the law firms. Some of these projects were funded individually by Brown and Williamson and some by pooled contributions from companies. Projects funded directly by tobacco companies apparently included relatively unrestricted grants to universities {2003.01}. The motivation for funding these projects is not revealed in the documents.
In contrast to projects funded through CTR or the law firms, these university projects did not focus exclusively on research related to tobacco use. There was debate among the tobacco companies concerning whether or not projects that were not directly related to tobacco should be funded. For example, some of the companies declined to join in support of a diabetes research project at Washington University ($8,100,000 from April
1, 1971, through March 31, 1991 {2003.01}) or research at UCLA on genetic markers, host defenses of the lung, and immune action in the body ($2,750,000 from June 1, 1974, through May 31, 1982 {2003.01}).
As with CTR and law firm special projects, lawyers and high-level tobacco industry executives were intimately involved in funding decisions for university projects. For example, in 1980 William Shinn of Shook, Hardy, and Bacon organized a site visit to review Washington University's request for continued support {2019.01}. The site visit committee consisted of the executive officers of Brown and Williamson, Liggett & Myers, Philip Morris, R. J. Reynolds, Tobacco Associates, the Tobacco Institute, and US Tobacco {2019.09}. There is no indication that the lawyers and executives were accompanied by scientists or that the funding was subject to the scientific peer review process.

When Sav's parents pressure him into taking Farrah to prom, Anya decides she'll do whatever it takes to keep her boyfriend from falling for his "arranged" wife.
Main Plot
Anya worries that Farrah will try to steal Sav, and her fears might become reality when she is confronted at random in the bathroom by Farrah; who says they will end up together. In a jealous rage, Anya takes Sav to the limo and they have unprotected sex, after Anya said she was on the pill. The two are then crowned King and Queen of the Spring Formal. The next day at school, she tells Sav that she wasn't really on the pill, after he makes a comment on a vlog for Chantay's Anti-Grapevine, that he doesn't want kids. He reacts horribly and convinces her to take a morning after pill, even though she didn't want to. Unsure that he can still trust Anya, he breaks up with her the next day. Unfortunately, the video Chantay took plays over the video announcements as soon as they break up, causing Anya to break down in tears.
Sub Plot
Dave and Alli are set on formal drink serving duty. Put off at first by Dave's carefree, fun attitude, Alli wonders if she's growing up too fast. Later, Dave and Alli create a club from their signature formal drink; the "Bhandurner", for a charity event Dave is promoting. When Johnny calls her immature as a response to his jealousy of Dave, Alli nearly cuts off her friendship with him. However, she soon realizes Johnny shouldn't be this controlling of her emotions, and she helps Dave with his charity.

How do you fit a Cinderella story into a noir slipper? Just cast Robert Ryan as Smith Olhrig, a psychopathic Prince Charming, complete with a hectoring attendant and a baronial mansion on Long Island. His princess is Leonora (Barbara Bel Geddes), a charm-school graduate from the Midwest who hooks her dream husband, only to see the dream end and the nightmare begin. Confined within their opulent manse, Leonora waits upon Smith's every whim, but never his whimsy. She is no trophy wife, but a thing taxidermed and hung on the wall of his will. What once promised security, the baroque manor of an industrialist, now seems like her own personal Guantanamo. No white knight himself, Max Ophuls leads Leonora out of luxury and into the Lower East Side where our forsaken wife meets a self-sacrificing doctor played by James Mason. Here, in the lower depths, Leonora leads a "shabby," humbling life, until lured back to luxury by her megalomaniacal husband. Lensed with claustrophobic care by the great Lee Garmes, the setting for Caught is stifling in its well-detailed gloom. If there were a political allegory here, we might recall that the promises of the one percent go bad ninety-nine percent of the time. This is Max Ophuls to the max. —Steve Seid
Max Ophüls (born Maximillian Oppenheimer, 6 May 1902, Saarbrücken, Germany – 25 March 1957, Hamburg, Germany) was an influential German-born film director who worked in Germany, the United States and France. He made nearly thirty films.
He started his career as a stage actor in 1919 but moved into theatre production in 1924. Two years later, he became creative director of the Burgtheater in Vienna and, having had 200 plays to his credit, turned to film production in 1929, when he became a dialogue director under Anatole Litvak at UFA in Berlin. He worked throughout Germany and directed his first film in 1931, the comedy short Dann schon lieber Lebertran (literally In This Case, Rather Cod-Liver Oil).
Of his early films, the most acclaimed is Liebelei (1933), which included a number of the characteristic elements for which he was to become known: luxurious sets, a feminist attitude, and a duel between a younger and older man.
Predicting… read more
Finely acted and peculiar with occasionally inventive camerawork. Begins in familiar territory and returns to touch base with the familiar from time to time, but becomes increasingly dark and transgressive. The ending would be tragic in most films, here it's played as a happy ending. Imagine a classic Hollywood romance with Wednesday Addams behind the lens.
Ophuls only made four films in Hollywood and this is the second of the four that I have seen recently which didn't quite live up to my expectations. Ryan is utterly loathsome as the millionaire who marries Bel Geddes just to spite his psychoanalyst. She turns to Mason's kindly doctor for salvation but can't escape her husband's hold on her. It starts off sombre and gripping but goes off the rails towards the end.....
The third of four films Max Ophuls directed in Hollywood before his famous run of French masterpieces in the 50's, a pseudo-noir (lit beautifully by Lee Garmes) with Robert Ryan as a tyrant refusing to let his sweet wife (Barbara Bel Geddes) off the hook to marry skinny doctor James Mason. An Ophuls trademark, the moving camera is always mesmerizing, even if the plot resolution is less than overwhelming.
Quite possibly the strangest film to come out of Hollywood in the 1940s. It's outrageous, scary, brilliantly acted (particularly by Robert Ryan). Astounding
An appreciation of the great American actor Robert Ryan on the occasion of a New York retrospective.

The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral was a gunfight that occurred at about 3 P.M. on Wednesday, October 26, 1881, in Tombstone, Arizona Territory, United States. The famous gunfight did not actually occur at the O.K. Corral. It occurred in a fifteen- to twenty-foot space between Fly's Lodging House and photographic studio, and the MacDonald assay house west of it. The end of the gunfight took place in Fremont Street. Some of the fighting was in Fremont Street in front of the vacant lot. About thirty shots were fired in thirty seconds. Although only three men were killed during the gunfight, it is generally regarded as the most famous gunfight in the history of the Old West, even though many other gunfights of the period resulted in more people killed (e.g., the Four Dead in Five Seconds Gunfight, the Going Snake Massacre, the Hot Springs Gunfight, and the Gunfight at Hide Park).
The gunfight at the O.K. Corral has been portrayed in numerous Western films. It has come to symbolize the struggle between law-and-order and open-banditry and rustling in frontier towns of the Old West, where law enforcement was often weak or simply nonexistent. In other views, the fight was a more complex embodiment of some of the tensions of the American Civil War of a generation before. One group of fighters represented rural Democrats from Texas who were involved in the cattle-trade in a remote area of Arizona territory which had been desert just a few years before. The other faction (the Earps) had come from the East with the frontier, and represented the very different city interests of Yankee Republican capitalists and businessmen who were attempting to manage a silver-mining boom-town with Eastern expectations of behavior. The gunfight occurred on the physical border of these two cultures.
The proximate cause of the conflict that led up to the fight was the arrest by Virgil Earp, acting in his capacity as deputy federal marshal, of two rural "cowboys" for a stagecoach robbery. D...
Undoubtedly the most notorious episode of Tombstone's early history occurred October 26, 1881. The Clanton gang of cowboys had refused to recognize the local supremacy of the Earps, and there was bad blood between the factions.
On the night of October 25, Ike Clanton, a prominent, though decidedly not plucky, member of the cowboy faction, had been arrested by City Marshal Virgil Earp and had been fined $50 for disorderly conduct, which appears to have been merely in objecting to the marshal's abuse. On the morning of the 26th of the Clanton gang in Tombstone were Tom McLaury, Frank McLaury, Billy Clanton and Ike Clanton. They had appreciated the intimation that Tombstone was unhealthy for them and had saddled their horses to leave for their home ranch in the Babocomari Mountains. The horses were in the O. K. Corral, which fronted on two streets. Fearing trouble, they planned to leave by the rear gate, on Fremont Street. Ike Clanton and Tom McLaury were not armed, for both the evening before had had their pistols taken from them by the city authorities. The other two had revolvers.
The men were leading their horses out of the gate when they were confronted, almost from ambush, by four of the Earps, Virgil, Wyatt, Morgan and Jim, and by Doc Holliday. Virgil Earp, armed with a sawed-off express shotgun, and accompanying his demand with profanity, yelled, "Throw up your hands." But he didn't wait for the action demanded and shot almost as soon as he spoke. Tom McLaury showed his empty hands and cried, "Gentlemen, I am unarmed." Holliday answered with the discharge of his shotgun. Billy Clanton fell at the first fire, mortally wounded, but rolled over and fired two shots from his pistol between his bent knees. One shot "creased" Morgan Earp across the shoulder and he fell to the ground. Ike Clanton ran into a vacant lot and escaped. Frank McLaury remained, fighting bravely, and, holding his horse by the bridle, fired four sho...

Measurements are reported of the solubility, in water and in sodium chloride solution of different concentrations, of the protein of cheese at various times after manufacture. The solubility in 3–10 % sodium chloride solutions reached approximately 100% within 7 days after manufacture of the cheese, both for normal and high rennet cheese, and remained at that value throughout the life of the cheese (8 months). Since the proteins of cheese are thus shown to be equally soluble in sodium chloride solutions corresponding in concentration to those encountered in the whole range of commercial cheese(1), the effect of salt concentration on cheese quality is not to be attributed to a variation in the solubility of the protein in the brine.

The Material of Knowledge
A new book just came to my attention, titled The Material of Knowledge, by Susan Hekman. This might be the first publication (as far as I know) which explicitly (and finally, for the encounter can be most fertile) links various forms of 'new realism' and 'new materialism' with feminist theory. It looks like and important contribution, one which especially realists of Latourian orientation will appreciate. I have just read the introduction (here), and I just wanted to share some passages to give the general flavour of the book.
Hekman's project is to go beyond the constraints of linguistic construction of reality which postmodernism imposed on both science and technology studies (with various forms of relativism) and feminist theory (with some extreme positions of radical feminism) and envision a way out of this empasse, one (and herein lies the true contribution) focused on the contributions of feminism:
The way forward is a rejection of the binary imposed by the postmodern lnguistic turn, in orderto find a richer explanatory framework
This 'sea change' in philosophical thought, according to Hekman, is (or can be) led by feminism, due to its intrinsic interest in dealing with both concrete reality and with bodies and corporeality
The solution cannot be a wholesale rejection of the most important insights exposed by proponents of linguistic constructionism, but it must be a middle way able to integrate these considerations with a focus on the material/nonhuman aspect of reality–without reducing reality to either level
Hekman draws on Latour's and Haraway's work as two examples of denounciation of the evils of social constructivism, both in STS and in feminist theory. Especially the latter, according ot Hekman, has suffered from an excessive fascination with social constructivism: Haraway's career is thus read as exemplifying the 'dilemma of feminist theory'.
On the one hand the necessity to highlight how the apparent neutrality of techno-scientific practices conceals a substructure of gender discrimination. On the other the necessity to do so without 'obliterating reality' -the reality which science aims at studying- and reducing everything to a play of gendered signifiers. What is necessary is to describe a complex world, an hybrid world in Haraway's term, by considering both the discoursive and the material.
[Reminds me of an interview with Haraway which I read somewhere, where she recalled how once the organizer of a conference where she was supposed to give a keynote speech took her aside and 'confidentially' asked her to clarify if she believed in the existence of reality or not]
Heckman therefore considers a number of areas where such a 'richer' theoretical approach is necessary, and where such a tension bewteen language and reality has been most present and where a 'new settlement' (Latour's term in WHNBM) is possible: philosophy of science (where she draws upon Latour and Pickering); [interestingly] analytic philosophy (where she refers to Wittgenstein); a 'reinterpretation of postmodernism' (where she reads Deleuze and Foucault [!] as working towards a deconstruction of the language/reality distinction; and finally (and principally) in feminist thought (with Haraway, Bordo and Tuana).
Concluding her introduction, she introduces 'the social' as that field which must be explained at the intersection between language and nature
[This seens to me to echo somehow De Landa's considerations in the book object of an ongoing reading group? Not sure, I have not read it yet]
It is interesting to see how new books from different provinces of academia seem to converge on a return to realism: just as Jane Bennett's book approached the theme of 'materiality' from a 'political science' starting point, Hekman does so from a background of feminist theory. In object-oriented circles, Haraway has often been mentioned as a potentially important interlocutor (and it will be a real one at an upcoming conference) and it is great to have a book bringing her and feminist philosophy in general in the arena of discussion on 'new realisms'. I will soon order it!
5 Responses to "The Material of Knowledge"
Thanks for this Fabio, not a book I was aware of – and now definitely one that I need to purchase and read. I've pretty much promised Speculations something on Feminism and SR or OOO, which would probably have focused on Haraway, and I'm writing something on the new materialisms for a new journal of Religion and Gender. So this looks a really valuable resource.
sounds great! but I would say that Elizabeth Grosz and Karen Barad, along with Haraway (and arguably Butler, but I tend to think she skirts around the issue…), have written books that have dealt heavily with materiality from a feminist standpoint. Then again, it depends on whose materiality is discussed…
The 2009 book "Material Feminisms," edited by Stacy Alaimo and Susan Hekman, is representative of many of the strains of materialism that are present in the last five or so years of feminist theory. This is not to say that feminism "already did OOO" or something. I am just sort of baffled that this is the first encounter you've seen between "new materialisms" and feminist theory. Perhaps I am not properly understanding what you are gathering under the banner of "new materialisms."

Ending waste as we know it today for the benefit of people and planet
October 19, 2011 - San Rafael, California - Bill Callahan, owner of Tamalpais NatureWorks on B Street, petitioned the Obama administration three weeks ago to close all landfills and incinerators in 5 years.
Since he posted his petition - meant to generate debate - he's been ridiculed for suggesting something so ridiculous. "If we can put men on the moon in 10 years for science, we can do this to rid ourselves of our wasteful ways in five years for the health of people and planet," he responds.
He posted his petition at the White House site, "We the People," on September 22nd. The site offers a new Obama Administration feature that allows anyone to create and sign petitions asking the administration to take action on any issue. Petitions that get 5000 signatures in 30 days will get an official response from the Obama Administration.
To appear on the site and in searches, petitions need a minimum of 150 signatures. Thus far his petition has mustered just 19 signatures. "This is embarrassing, I knew it was going to be difficult for me to get 5000 signatures, but not to get the minimum is the worst that could happen," he says.
"With the world's population reaching 7 billion people this month there's little time for change. We need change, we need to do more, a lot more," he says.
Bill adds, "Change associated with one's lifestyle is not easy, that's for sure, but I truly don't believe it's as impossible as many think. Consider our lagging economy - doing this now will create jobs - lots of jobs on every street and every community. It will create so many new businesses and products many will wonder why we didn't do this sooner. It will reduce energy needs by not having to mine, harvest, process, transport and manufacture new products. It will help significantly to reduce our deficit by employing more people locally, producing more made in America products using recycled materials, and most importantly it will significantly reduce pollution and the health issues it causes."
Bill notes that most people who respond to his petition ask, how would this be accomplished? His answer: "President Kennedy didn't have all the answers when he proposed (1961) that the United States should set a goal of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth by the end of the decade. Likewise today, no one has all the answers on how to go about this but many of the important foundation stones are already in place: we have the means of collecting and transporting waste, we have the machinery for sorting waste, we have the labor force, as well as a great number of highly knowledgeable organizations who are committed to finding ways to empower people and communities to reduce waste."
Bill also notes, "Many people think I'm a bit crazy to suggest such an idea, but I'm not the first. Former President Bill Clinton has been a leading advocate of closing landfills for some time." At the Clinton Global Initiative in 2010 Bill Clinton said, "If you want to fight climate change, improve public health, find new sources of wealth for poor people…the closest thing to a silver bullet is closing all the landfills in the cities … almost every landfill is a goldmine, which is why so many poor people scavenge in them."
Bill is asking everyone who value peoples' health and our planet to take a moment and add their signature to his at the White House "We the People" website before the petition closes this week, October 22.
His petition can be found here: wh.gov/g05
An earlier open letter to President Obama regarding closing landfills and incinerators can be found on Bill's Greenwiser YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/greenwiser
Tamalpais NatureWorks designs and manufactures sustainable lifelong furniture, custom built and kits. Bill founded Tamalpais NatureWorks in 1994 to find ways of using waste wood to build sustainable, lifelong furniture. Waste wood includes new and used wood from new construction sites, wood from deconstructed buildings, wood from old furniture and shipping pallets and containers, as well as wood from fallen trees, from our yards, streets and public spaces.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking ibuprofen and oxycodone (Combunox)?You should not use this medication if you have severe or uncontrolled asthma, or a stomach condition called paralytic ileus. Do not use ibuprofen and oxycodone just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG). Oxycodone may be habit forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for.

WASHINGTON (7/14/11)--After 75 years of regular sales, savings bonds will no longer be sold at credit unions and other financial institutions as of January 1, 2012, the U.S. Treasury has reported.
Series EE and I savings bonds will still be made available for purchase via the Treasury's online purchase platform, TreasuryDirect. Consumers can also use the Treasury's online platform to convert existing paper bonds into electronic bonds and to purchase savings bonds via a payroll savings plan. Read more…
The Federal Reserve recently issued final rules requiring credit unions to provide an amended risk based pricing notice that includes a credit score if that information is used to set material terms of credit. Similarly, the Federal Reserve issued a final rule requiring credit unions to provide an amended adverse action notice that includes a credit score, if such information is used to take an adverse action.
There has been a bit of uncertainty surrounding the effective date of these changes. Under the Dodd-Frank statute, the amendments to risk based pricing notices and adverse action notices become effective on July 21, 2011. The final rules, which were issued on July 6th, indicate that the final rules take effect 30 days after the final rules are published in the Federal Register. At this time, the final rules have not been published in the Federal Register, but we anticipate that will occur soon.
After internal discussion and a conversation with CUNA, it is the recommendation of the Regulatory Affairs Department that credit unions strive to comply as of July 21st, to the extent that it is possible. If that is not possible, complying by the final rule's effective date appears to be permissible in the eyes of the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve Board on Thursday released a report that contains 2010 payment and account information about more than 1,000 agreements between institutions of higher education or affiliated organizations and credit card issuers. The Board also updated an online database that includes the full text of each agreement that was in effect during 2010.
The Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 (Credit CARD Act) requires issuers to submit to the Board annually their agreements with educational institutions or affiliated organizations, such as alumni associations. For each agreement, issuers are also required to submit information regarding payments made to the institution or organization and the number of accounts opened under the agreement.
An online database, www.FederalReserve.gov/CollegeCreditCardAgreements, provides the complete text of each agreement and the payment and accounts information submitted by issuers. Users may also search for agreements by card issuer, by educational institution or organization, or by the city or state in which the institution or organization is located.
Read the Federal Reserve Board's press release and access Board's report to Congress at http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/bcreg/20110707a.htm."
CUNA has posted its Final Rule Analysis on the interchange fee limits for large issuers and the requirements for issuers to participate on two unaffiliated networks by April 1, 2012 as well as a Regulatory Comment Call on the interim final rule on the standards large issuers must meet to receive an additional penny of interchange fee income per transaction. The Final Rule Analysis can be accessed here and the link to the Comment Call is here. CUNA is expected to provide additional analyses of the rules in the coming days.Some payment processors and networks have already provided guidance to financial institutions regarding the impact of the Fed's interchange rule. Credit union debit card issuers that belong to only one network are advised to consider their options, as all issuers must participate in two independent networks under the new rule, effective April 1, 2012. CO-OP Financial Services is advising, "if your credit union is currently VISA-exclusive (VISA for signature and Interlink for PIN) or MasterCard-exclusive (MasterCard for signature and Maestro for PIN), you will need to add an unaffiliated PIN network (such as STAR, Pulse or NYCE)" but would not need to add a second signature network.Following issuance of the final rule, TCF National Bank dropped the case it had brought against the Fed. Acknowledging concerns expressed by Senators, credit unions, and community banks, the Fed has agreed to monitor the impact of the final rule on small issuers and has directed staff to come back to the board with two reports, one in six months and the other in 18 months, that will allow the agency to assess how the rule is affecting small issuers, including credit unions. CUNA has told credit unions that it will be working closely with the Fed on these studies and will be reporting on their efforts along with the Fed's reports in the coming weeks and months. CUNA said that it will continue working with the networks to urge them to adopt and maintain a two-tiered system that will allow small issuers such as credit unions, to receive as much of their current debit fee interchange income as possible. In addition, CUNA has committed to continuing communications with Senators that have promised to work to ensure the viability of the small issuer exemption and hold them to their word.

Characters Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Characters, Revised Third Edition)
Ivan Ilyich Golovin
Ivan Ilyich Golovin (ih-VAHN ihl-YIHCH goh-LOH-vihn), a prominent judge. A genial and conscientious lawyer, the popular Ivan Ilyich hides from reality under a cloak of decorum. Obtaining an excellent appointment in St. Petersburg, he finds there a house and an ordered routine exactly to his taste. He feels that life is, at last, just as it should be. Then he learns that he is the victim of a fatal disease. Facing death, he is forced to look, for the first time, at the truth about his life. Only as he becomes aware of the real meaning of his past decisions does he free himself from the fear of death.
Praskovya Fedorovna Golovina
Praskovya Fedorovna Golovina (prahs-KOH-vyah FYOH-do-rov-nah goh-LOH-vih-nah), Ivan Ilyich Golovin's wife. Dissatisfied with the role her husband has chosen for her, she becomes demanding and quarrelsome and, finally, isolated from him. Only in death does her husband become aware of her as a person deserving pity and forgiveness.

Praskovya Fedorovna
Ivan Ilych's wife, Praskovya Fedorovna, is never emotionally intimate with her husband, though they both desire the same lifestyle. They take pride in their new house, which embodies the propriety and class in which they want to live. When she first became pregnant, Ivan complained that she deliberately caused scenes and easily became jealous. Instead of dealing with his wife's emotions, Ivan ignored them. Praskovya ultimately reciprocates her husband's distant coldness. She indulges in extreme self-pity but believes herself to be very tolerant of her dying husband's moans. As her husband is dying, however, Praskovya does not acknowledge the seriousness of his situation. She chastises him for not taking his medicine and suggests that he see more doctors. At his funeral she is preoccupied with maintaining the proper persona of the grieving widow as she asks Peter Ivanovich if he thinks it possible for her to get money from the government to help her financially after her husband's death.
See Fedor Vasilievich
Gerasim is a Russian peasant with whom Ivan Ilych takes much comfort during the last days of his life. He is a servant of the house and selflessly and compassionately acts as sick nurse for Ivan, often elevating the dying man's legs throughout the night. Like Ivan's youngest son, Gerasim does not display the fake and shallow propriety that Ivan...

Annual event draws hundreds of racers and even bigger crowds
It's one of the biggest snowmobile racing events in northern Michigan - and it's back in Gaylord for another year.
The Snocross races are a big boost to the Gaylord economy, and this winter's snow means it's great for racing and great for business.
The big event started back in 1995. In past years they've had more than 400 snowmobilers take to the trails. Visitors also pay $10 dollars each to watch the races. With all the snowmobilers and the fans it's good business for Gaylord area merchants.
There are several different divisions for snow cross racing... With racers starting at eight years old. This is the first of several snocross events coming to Gaylord. The next is January 31st at the Otsego County Fairgrounds.

TATAMAGOUCHE - Organizers of the annual Oktoberfest event here are calling this year's "one of the best."
"Everything went off without a hitch," said Brad Roy, president of the North Shore Bavarian Society that hosts the event each year at the North Shore Recreation Centre. "We had close to 3,000 people this year. We were talking about how many we had last year, and we're up by about three or four hundred."
A dance held Friday night saw roughly the same amount of people in previous years, however it was the schedule on Saturday - a sold out beer garden and an evening dance - that brought more of a crowd in.
"We had a lot of different people here this year," said Roy. "We drew a lot of busses from as far away as Moncton, so I think that helped. There were a lot of new faces. We heard a lot of people say this was their first time here."
One of the things Roy said the society did this year to improve upon the festival was to eliminate lineups.
"We had more ticket booths this year. Last year we had a lot of people waiting to get in and waiting to purchase tickets, so we eliminated those."
While he couldn't hazard a guess yesterday afternoon as to how much was raised during the two-day event, Roy said all the money goes back into the community.
"There are 11 organizations we donate equally to," he said, noting a couple are bursaries for local high school students and the Creamery Square.

Assemblyman to Introduce Bill to Close Unpaid Intern Harassment Loophole
"This should be filed under the category of 'How is this not a law already?'" Assemblyman Joe Borelli declared today.
Mr. Borelli, a Staten Island Republican, was reacting to today's news that a federal judge recently dismissed a harassment suit filed by Lihuan Wang, a former intern at Phoenix Satellite Television's New York bureau, because, as an unpaid intern, she apparently didn't have standing in the case.

Battlefield 3 In-Depth Multiplayer Hands-On Preview – 9 Maps, 5 Modes, Lots of Awesome Written Friday, October 14, 2011 By Dan Webb View author's profile | |
When DICE and EA threw their Battlefield 3 beta at console gamers at the back end of September, the audience was split. On the one hand, some people fell in love with it and lapped up the intense gameplay of Operation Metro, but on the other hand, some hated it, criticised its glitches, lambasted DICE for a lack of vehicles and even went as far as to cancel their pre-order – an overreaction some might say for the state of a beta, but it's their money so they're perfectly entitled to do so. The truth of the matter is that, thankfully, the beta is in no way, shape or form a true reflection of what DICE is bringing to the table this October. The two-month-old code is exactly what it was: a work in progress, not only from a visuals perspective, but from a gameplay perspective too, with the beta feeling more like the disappointing Medal of Honor than the impressive Bad Company 2. We headed across to London recently to put everything multiplayer through its paces and thankfully, a few hours alone with the multiplayer told us two very important things: one, the beta wasn't a fair representation of what gamers can expect from the final version of Battlefield 3; and two, the final game's multiplayer is going to be something truly special. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that releasing the beta in that state was a massive faux pas on EA and DICE's behalf. As you're probably aware then, Battlefield 3 will ship later on this month with 5 modes – Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Rush, Conquest and Squad Rush – and 9 maps – not including the Back to Karkand pack. In our hands-on we got the chance to try out most, if not all, of the 9 maps and we can happily report that not only do the feel of the weapons and the damage feel more akin to Bad Company 2 than Medal of Honor, but seeing the bigger maps with the masses of vehicles clashing on them, everything seemed right in the world again. First up was possibly one of the most interesting maps of the bunch: Damavand Peak, a base set in the mountains of Iran. What makes Damavand Peak an interesting map is its verticality – it's not your traditional Rush map by any means. With tanks, helicopters, steep slopes galore and MCOM stations that are hundreds of feet below one another, it makes for some interesting and unique gameplay, that's for sure. Watching a squad of attackers BASE jump off the cliff edge towards the next station down below is truly an epic moment and one to behold. Defenders will have to be on their toes here then, although with the MCOM stations situated in various warehouses, they can use the rafters, 20-foot high storage shelves and large transportation trucks as cover as they attempt to thwart wave after wave of attack. Rather different to Damavand Peak is the Grand Bazaar level, which takes to the streets of a devastated urban environment in the Middle East. Here, the vehicles take more of a backseat – although there is the odd tank at various stages during Rush mode, which can make or break it for your team – for a more infantry focused experience. While it could be argued that the Operation Metro beta map is a similar map in terms of focus, with the gameplay differences between the builds and improved visuals over the beta, it felt like a true Battlefield experience. With mounds of rubble, market stalls galore, narrow alleys and wide-open streets, it's a map that has multiple routes towards objectives, but dominating with the tank – ripping through the concrete walkways with the tank cannon is a high point – is most likely the key to success… unless the defenders all roll out as engineers and say sayonara to your armoured friend. Unfortunately, that's where the multiplayer hands-on session took an interesting – but temporary – turn for the worse as EA became obsessed with pushing us into the game modes that – let's be honest – no self-righteous Battlefield fan would ever play. Why? Because people play Battlefield for a reason: because it's a tactical shooter that can effectively create war-like canvases. As a deathmatch shooter (both team and squad), holes like no sense of urgency or competition crop up, and the map design becomes an issue due to their sheer size. In trying to cater for a new audience, DICE has somewhat missed the point as to why Battlefield is so successful in the first place. Thankfully though, we won't have to play these modes and they're there for those that want them… if that's anyone. Regardless, let us run you through the next few maps, how they worked in the modes we went hands-on with and what you can expect. First up it was time for some Team Deathmatch on the Seine Crossing level; a map that funnily enough sits on the Seine in Paris. It's another city backdrop devastated by war with motorcycles and rubble littering the streets left, right and centre, and barricades on the bridge over the Seine defining the outside border of the map. In Team Deathmatch it relies on its alleyways and small courtyards to house most of its combat. Next up: Noshahr Canals for a spot of Squad Deathmatch – i.e. 4 vs. 4 vs. 4 vs. 4. Noshahr Canals is a map dominated on the one side by a huge construction crane and a warehouse, another side with an elevated road that runs parallel to a set of train tracks and then on the other side, where the one tank spawns amidst a bunch of shipping crates and huge pipes. Admittedly, it's slightly more fun than Team Deathmatch, mainly because of the battle that commences when that tank spawns. Still, it's no Rush or Conquest mode. From there we moved across Iran to the Tehran Highway map for more Squad Deathmatch. Fought under the cover of night – well, dusk – players will fight beneath the highways of Iran's capital, taking cover in the various garages and buildings that dominate the area. Here, the tank spawns on the far side in an open and vulnerable area of the map, so go for it at your own peril! It's a map that might be worth equipping the heat-vision scope on your rifle for improved vision or even slapping on the ol' tactical light, although that does make you a bit of a sitting duck. Whatever you do though, don't be an engineer and use the EOD repair bot to try and kill an enemy… although rather hilarious at the time – and seemingly possible – you'll look like a fool when they track you down! From there we headed to Operation Metro to play a round of Squad Rush, which is like a smaller version of the beta's map – as was the case in Bad Company 2. Obviously it's benefitted from the improved visuals and refined gameplay compared to the beta, but there's not really anything new to report here for that map. Thankfully for our sanity, to round off the session we returned to a mode that Battlefield 2 fans will be all too familiar with: Conquest. That means: bigger maps, vehicles galore and buckets of mayhem. Kicking things off on Caspian Border, a ridiculously huge vehicle-heavy map whose skyline is dominated by a monstrous antenna, we quickly learnt one thing: that these F/A 18E Super Hornet jets are going to take some getting used to. In fact, my inexperience led me to using them as huge air-to-ground missiles and raining down destruction from the skies as I parachuted in above an objective. Grabbing a vehicle, whether it's a jeep or an ATV is pretty essential on Caspian Border as without it, you could be running for rather along-time, especially if you don't spawn on a teammate. It's a map that demonstrates how strong Battlefield 3's vehicular combat is though, and that's nothing but a good thing. Last, but by no means least, a personal favourite of mine from the hands-on: Operation Firestorm for a touch of Conquest. It's a huge map set in the middle of the desert with two bases at either end, each with its own runway, two jets, a couple of tanks and a chopper. With only three points to capture, a huge refinery and large warehouses occupying the middle ground and a long road in from each base, it's a map that truly does have a calm before the storm – when all those vehicles meet in the middle, there really is nowhere to hide! I get the feeling that this one will be a fan favourite come its release later this month. The final map, Kharg Island, was available for the press to play on the day, but considering that it should be a sandy, tropical island setting, set somewhere in the Persian Gulf, I honestly don't remember it. Chances are, we missed that one out then. D'oh! So what have we learned? Well, mainly that the code we went hands-on with is miles ahead of the beta in terms of quality – both visually and from a gameplay perspective. There also seems to be less reliance on destruction, believe it or not, and the prospect of levelling a town – or even a building – like one could do on the Arica Harbour map in BC2 for instance, seems like a distant dream from our experience. We'll reserve our judgement there for now though. There is, however, a ton more customisation in terms of weapons and classes, and the vehicle combat is as good as ever, so based on this hands-on alone, we're finally excited again to get our hands on the final retail version after what can only be described as a disappointing beta. In pushing the deathmatch modes in the hands-on session though, it's as if EA seems to have missed the point in what makes Battlefield number one amongst its fans. Yes, we know it has more deathmatch-inspired modes now than ever before, and yes, we know they're looking to market the game to a new crowd, but it's not playing to the strengths of the game. In fact, there are tons of games that do TDM better, but thankfully, when you focus on the modes that make Battlefield great – Conquest and the Bad Company mode, Rush – the destructible environments and the chaos that the vehicles bring, then you know that DICE has something special in its arsenal. There's something quite epic about having four jets and four tanks roll across the desert on the Operation Firestorm map and meet in the middle in what can only be described as all-out war. It truly was a great Battlefield moment and no other game comes anywhere close to mimicking that. Whatever you do though, don't base your opinion of Battlefield 3 on the beta! This may as well be a different game entirely, in terms of quality. Battlefield 3 is scheduled for an October 25th and October 28th release in North America and Europe respectively. |

Our History
Founded in Toledo, Ohio, USA in 1922 to support a local YMCA, Y's Men International is now oriented to serving the worldwide YMCA, the largest non-governmental youth organisation, and through it the communities in which it is present throughout the world. Since the YMCA is usually known as "the Y" in the USA, and as the Y's Men movement started there as a club of "men of and for the Y", it was named the "Y's Men's Club".
Judge Paul William Alexander (pictured) was the founder of the first club together with a group of other young men.
However, today women are also full members of our movement and family participation is encouraged in numerous activities. Since 1995 local affiliated clubs wishing to emphasize this openness can choose to call themselves "Y's Men and Women's Clubs" or "Y Service Clubs". Members are known as Y's Men or Y's Women.

What is this new flu?
"Swine flu" is an influenza A (H1N1) virus normally found in pigs. There are many such viruses and they rarely infect humans. The virus currently causing human illness is a new type of swine flu that has developed the ability to infect people and be transmitted from person to person.
Although this new virus is called "swine flu," it is not transmitted from pigs to humans, or from eating pork products. Like other respiratory diseases, it is spread from person to person through coughs and sneezes. When people cough or sneeze, they spread germs through the air or onto surfaces that other people may touch.
We've prepared this article to enable members to become both prepared and informed. Don't panic and keep this in perspective with a regular flu season. According to Dr. David Fleming, Director & Health Officer for Public Health - Seattle & King County, "So far, locally and nationally, this swine flu strain appears to be no more severe than the flu we'd see in a typical flu season." The advice and recommendations shared are appropriate for good health and hygiene year round.
Everyday behaviors to stay healthy
What are the symptoms?
Human symptoms for this new type of H1N1 flu are similar to the symptoms of the regular "seasonal" influenza that happens each year. Symptoms include fever, cough and sore throat. In addition, fatigue, lack of appetite, runny nose, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea have been reported.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has determined that the H1N1 virus causing mild illness in some states is the same strain as the virus causing an outbreak of respiratory illness among humans in some areas of Mexico. It is not yet known if all of the fatal or hospitalized respiratory illness cases in Mexico are actually due to this virus. It is being investigated.
Should I go to the doctor?
It is not necessary to see a health care provider if flu symptoms are mild. If symptoms are more severe, call your health care provider to discuss if you or your child need to be seen and evaluated.
Keep children who are sick at home. Don't send them to school or daycare.
If your child experiences any of the following warning signs, seek emergency medical care:

In Reply to: For an elderly person, is the tablet a good move from a desktop/laptop? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
I have introduced a few elderly people to the world of tablet computing in similar scenarios. Mostly Internet based research, news, videos and books. None of them have looked back. For limited computer users, the tablet makes much more intuitive sense too. They pick up the gestures quickly and have no worries. In fact they may wish they made the change sooner.

As the health effects of environmental contamination are better understood, regulations become more stringent for persistent environmental organic contaminants such as dioxins, phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), and dimethylamine (DMA) in water and in processed or unprocessed foods including fish, oils and vegetables. Environmental agencies and the food processing industry are hard-pressed to detect and measure contaminations in water and food samples. Screening for diverse contaminants and over a large number of samples is cumbersome and error prone. Automation is necessary to efficiently aliquote samples and carry out high throughput repetitive liquid handling protocols.
