so What's next?
hey guys, a few things came up last night that took me away from the computer. I have just finished writing up lesson 4 and am starting to review this week's work. Because i was a bit overloaded and didnt get to everyone's work throughout the week, I have a bit of writing to do. So you can all chill for another few hours. Im also taking mum out to dinner, so she might arrive before i finish up here.... anyway, im on it :)

this is some great further thinking on the piece :) the comments on turner are great. He definitely was a romantic painter and one of the most recognisable. You have pinpointed their emphasis on the natural world and the infantisation of the built environment therein. This is a great example of this week's focus topic - using colour for a specific purpose. The super saturated colours aren't used without reason, but rather as a specific tool to enhance the vision the artist has.
and 86
it was great seeing this start - your piece really evolved to the final iteration. You started off with a nice pallette and it ended up benefiting the final piece too.

I'll be trying to work on the structure of the class for 2nd intake. The problem is that most people, once they reach a point where they are (somewhat) qualified to teach, they are probably full time employed. I will always do my best to be around as much as possible, but some weeks are busier than others of course :) furthermore, an important part of working in production is the ability to work independantly and under direction together - which includes critiquing yourself and others of the same level.
rvdtor | post #100:
I'm taking this to be your final production piece? There is something cool about the concept, it has a kind of retro Klayman kind of feel to it which I dig ;)
As far as critique, i think you should have pushed your colour knowledge further this week, you lack variation from depth effects - same thing we were touching on last week. For instance the colour of the water is all the same and doesnt change as it recedes further into the background. Also, the way you constructed the image with the hill filling the screen makes it look staged as you have no real background to establish depth.
The trees seem a bit odd and are far too smooth-edged to be convincing as trees. Also, dont forget that when an object is lit, the lit area doesnt (necessarily) become the exact colour of the light source. With a big diffuse outdoor source like this, i would expect the yellow light to lighten and warm the lit side of the tree, but not turn it the exact colour. That makes it comes across as a specular and makes the trees look like they are made out of plastic.
Finally, watch your shadows -
1. Shadow EDGES become diffuse the further they get from the casting object. The bottom edge of the main object's shadow is too sharp relative to the rest of the shadow. Also, the shape of the shadow doesnt seem to match the start and endpoints of the object, and there is no curve to go with the curve of the hill.
2. There are no shadows from the trees on the water?
I like the little figure you included. Is that you?
rvdtor | post #117
oops, i didnt see this one when i was reviewing the thread earlier. The shadow works better now, but most of the critique still applies. I think the way you set about changing the shape of the object may be the wrong way to tackle the problem. DOnt forget to change the canvas size, flip and move elements around as well. Ryan church is really good at doing that. Getting used to 'restitching' afterwards eventually leads to developing a much more organic and freeing painting style.
Chaosrocks | post #121
Hello James :) (a cookie if you can tell me on msn what im alluding to! HARDY HARDY HAR HAR!)
Yeah, I struggle in painter too - don't ask me for tips there ;)
So, first thing im asking, is what is this place? I know its a dream environment, but i guess it lacks a sense of design... the scale of things is confusing (and it doesnt work in a 'weird' way like escher's stuff). In relation to the cushions, the archways are way too small... so is the doorway... or the cushions are too big?
You need to define your source of light. The shadows on all objects are different. Also, defining the temperature, and establishing some sort of light/shadow warm/cool relationship is important. Im not sure the shadows of the cushions work being so extremely saturated? think about temperature, as well as the reflect light from the environment, how would it affect things?
And yeah, your own obsrvations that your scenes look like stage sets is correct. I want you to work towards breaking away from this and making more organic scenes. Even if this means drawing a top down map of the area first and making sure it isnt stage-like, then paint that up...
Finally, you would benefit from more practise with your painting style, keeping your brushes big and confident and working in big shapes of light and colour. Then make sure to refine your edges as you wrap up the piece to avoid confusion in the viewers eye. a lot of your shadows are 'noisy' and there are strange strokes throughout the piece that dont seem to be justified (like the patch of dark colour in front of the steps?)
glad to have you with us :)
gundersen | post #123:
Alright! Now we're cooking with gas man... and gas man is pleased! I think you have been very succesful in applying knowledge you have picked up over previous weeks to each new piece - for which you deserve credit!
First thing that stands out is a design issue - your shapes are somewhat confusing. Things like the crystal shards (the hanging ones) looking like coccoons, the lack of ropes holding some up but others not... the strange construction of the wooden platforms that dont really make sense from a physics point of view.... things like that. Also the shape of the crystal is kind of strange? looks more like crumpled paper due to the overlapping flat shapes - it needs to be given some form and dimension perhaps. Its a bit 'shape' right now.
As for the crane people were talking about, i think the problem isnt that it overlaps, but more that it doesnt do so enough. The overlap works well in establishing depth in the image - our eye needs to know what is behind what, and the most efficient way to do that by far is overlap. But the way it only comes in a tiny bit and is sort of thin and spindly makes its edges run into the brushstrokes of the crystal, and the forms blend together instead of contrasting and creating depth.
Finally, the battle you have between the warm and cool lightsource needs some development. Most importantly, you have to consider the strength of your lightsources. You have a massive area being lit up by an apparently very bright primary source (assuming its sunlight from outside). Then you have wee tiny little lamps as your warm contrast. This is great, but there is now ay they would light the area up like that - its not believable. Also, it creates a 50/50 split, which (mostly) isnt a good thing. Balance actually doesnt mean exactly balancing 50/50. Your warm should act as a counterpoint to the dominant blue, just a touch of it to stop the blue getting out of hand. This can also be a focus-drawing device. At the moment, your two lightsources are warring, and that is drawing our attention more to that conflict than to the subject and the painting itself - and when that happens, the illusion is broken.
Great development from you man! And the atmospheric perspective is kickin. Keep sharpening those foreground edges :)
agustin poratti | post #125
This is great! probably not the most you could have done as far as depth and proper forms etc, but what i do like is the colour, and that was our objective after all!
What I like most is the clarity and simplicity that you set out to achieve. You decided on a warm/cool relationship and stuck to it. More importantly, you let one dominate and the other recede. The dyptic highlights this perfectly between the two pieces - one cool dominant and the other warm. I think the way you have handled the touches of light is really confident...
I wish I could offer more critique, but the ambiguous nature of the pieces makes that hard. All i can tell you is the colour works and achieves the objectives you set out for yourself. Good work :)
By the way, this reminds me a lot of my own dreams. I have a lot of dreams about blinding light and ambiguous figures :)
D. Labruyere | Post #126:
Ok - first things first, i dont see warm vs cool... or a serious colour relationship happening here. The image is flat due to the lack of colour variation throughout.
The lack of atmospheric perspective or a proper background make it feel staged, and the way you habe used pure white as a light source makes it feel washed out and undersaturated. You really need some touches of strong colour in the foreground to help set off against the desaturated background. The shape of the light coming down is also really static and makes it look like a cut and paste job - did you think about the angle of it? Composition? overlap? etc? Why is the archway so flat - how come you chose not to construct it using perspective? I feel you could have worked a bit harder on this one - sorry i wasnt about to critique you earlier though man, that was my bad. Also, there is no rationale behind your colour choices which was part of the task this week.
jodali | #128:
This is great!! Most of all, I'm really impressed by how much your final product lines up with your intentions. I call that 'succesful'. I think that thought of 'impending doom' is exactly what i get from this, and its very dreamlike.
I think the composition is a bit crazy - the horizon is VERY tilted (dangerous, but can work in the right situations)... there isnt much overlap, and the bottom left corner has a bit of 'falloff' partially worsened by the sloping horizon... i think the monster could have more overlap with the tornados, so it looks like its coming out of them... at the moment its hard to tell whether it is in front of or behind them. I like your warm/cool relationship. I like the brushwork (works well when you scale it down) and i like the action - the small figure hiding from the evil sky wyrm. It tells a good story!
Only other thing to ask is what that saturated streak on the ground under the monster is - a reflection? The material of the ground doesnt seem like it would reflect? Im a bit confused about that. Great job :)
robmorfin | post #133:
main thing I'm asking about are the contradictions between your post and your painting. You say the colours further from the light source are desaturating... but that isn't the case. Some of your most saturated colours are the ones furthest from your light source. Also, you say you have a lightsource that is red, but none of the objects in the scene are responding to that - it actually looks like it is just emmitting white light with no colour. You dont have a warm/cool relationship, or any relationship apparent in the piece - all the colours feel very abstractly chosen. There is no real sense of depth or form and when i squint the value range is very narrow....
I also dont see the second blue light source you mention in your post?
daldbaatar | post #134:
great final! not really sure what is going on (subject wise) in the top left, but the colour work is looking good. The temperature relationship isnt super strong but it is there to a degree, and the light has a nice 'sunrise' feeling to it. What i really like are the reflected lights you have thrown around as reflections from the shapes (dont forget them on the ground too). The warm fire in the canyon also sets up a nice warm-cool-warm contrasting on different planes.
Watch your edges - a lot of soft edges here are getting lost and making the forms look muddy (for instance the wires look too thick and wobbly). Good attempt at the texture but maybe a *bit* too strong? ALso the light (top right) in the sky seems to stop a bit abruptly?
earendil | post #142:
well we can see that all those sets of revisions that went into this paid off! What we have here is a narrative that works - and thats important. The action is clear and we are drawn in by the story.
You havnt got a written justification for your colours, but i like the relationship of cool to warm - the (relative) warmth of the light on the right balances the composition and the reflection really works. What helps the balance is that the large, slightly warm bit is balanced by the smaller but more saturated warmth of the character - that is working towards the kind of balance we want to see. I like the suggestion of texture and the atmosphere of the forest feels very fairy tale :).
As with the others, watch out for small brush syndrome (it IS the size that counts) and keep your shapes big and readable - some of the subtleties in the shadow area are a bit confusing and contrast too much, drawing the eye.
Attachment 239387
let me know if there are any mistakes :P im a bit tired.
daldbaatar - for a rust effect, get a texture brush, with a medium value/sat orange colour, set brush mode to colour burn and flow to something low around 10% and softly brush in (tweak for individual painting needs).
Congrats on the HP's this round!!
I was tossing up giving one person a Pro for their prod piece but i feel they can push it further next week... OOH, OOH THE TENSION, WHO IS IT!?!?! :D
Really awesome to see how much involvement there was this week - so much discussion, sharing of work in progress... its really great to see! I hope you guys form a tight group and can keep working together long after the class is over. See you in 4th week :)
hmmmm.. i believe that person to be earendil.
Glad I redrew.
Crap, I forgot to post the why's, didn't I? One sec...
Congrats on th HPs guys, Earendil, great job!
Thanks Form, I am going to look closer and see what I did wrong.
Thank you Form. Ill work my ass off for at least one Pro before the end :)

I understand this. my point is that you can't find routes without actually *needing* to travel them. unless you have real (not made up) research problems, I don't believe you can design or build a cluster well. you can build something very nice, but I believe it will need to change once a real application appears.

OK, so what I would suggest doing is to run your models on whatever computers you have available, right now. don't think too far ahead about what your future cluster will be like - you don't really know what it *should* be like yet. then run your code in parallel on two machines with a back-to-back cable. how does it scale? what packet sizes does it send? how frequently? are you using MPI collective operations? the details of your initial test cluster doesn't matter much - only that you try real codes on it, evaluate its performance, and learn from it. improvement comes from iteration, not more design. > PD: If here were researchers about high performance computing and > applied math with computational resources, i'll not asking here. I don't quite understand that. I think the beowulf list is mainly people who blur the line between builders and users of HPC clusters using commodity components. there's no special affinity for or against applied math, for instance. regards, mark hahn.

Italy's Fornasari Presents the New RR99
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
Used to be if you wanted an exotic Italian automobile, you were looking at a two-door sportscar. Maserati's Quattroporte and Lamborghini's LM002 proved the exceptions, but even the most expensive luxury sport-utility vehicles were boxy, slow-moving machines. Long before Porsche came along with their Cayenne, however, Fornasari was working on a formula for the best of both worlds. For years they produced the three-door RR450 and RR600, but now they've come out with their first five-door sport-ute, and the numbers are unbelievable.
Powered by a 6-liter V8 provided by GM driving 610 horsepower to all four wheels via 60/40 rear split limited-slip differential and six-speed gearbox, Fornasari claims their latest SUV can reach 62 miles per hour in just 3.8 seconds and hit 174 mph flat out. All this in a coachbuilt Italian body. Pricing and availability are not yet available, but with an item like this, if you have to ask....

Great for rocky trails
By JW

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Black Diamond Z-Pole Rubber Tips for Distance Trekking Pole Series:
I bought these tips to use with the Black Diamond Trail Compact Poles, and they worked great. I used them for four days of hiking in Isle Royale NP on very rocky trails, and they gave me great traction. The only downside was that I needed pliers to change the tips, as the wave-lock design made them difficult to loosen or tighen completely by hand.

Tips are Great, SunnySports is Better!
By BearMan
from MO
About Me Avid Adventurer
For the rocky terrain of RMNP I used the Black Diamond trekking pole accessory rubber tips (which slipped over my carbide tips). The idea was great as rubber was much better than carbide on the rocks, but as these only slipped over the tip, I wound up losing several in the process as they would get bound between rocks especially when descending through boulder fields. Only use those for pavement or well maintained rocky terrain (trails) in which they are perfect. These Z-pole rubber tips actually replace the carbide tips by screwing perminently into the housing. I will test them over my two-week excursion in August, but they seem very well made and I am confident they will suit my needs. The only issue I had was it was very difficult to figure out if they fit on my Contour Elliptic poles as they advertise working for the Z-pole. I finally found in fine print that they work on any 2012+ Black Diamond pole (with a few exceptions). Now the best part - I ordered three packs (pairs). One pack only contained one tip. I called SunnySports and anticipated having to argue the point. Without question and within minutes they had another pack on the way which I received in three days! They told me to just keep the lone tip as a spare. One classy operation!

Upside down
Upside down
traditional lecture is challenged by the students' increased ownership of digital devices which they introduce into the lecture theater. These devices are, more than often, seen by the lecturers as a source of distraction rather than an aid that enriches the learning experience. These are words of dean Per Borgersen at Sør-Trøndelag University College (HiST) in PS Public Service Review. http://www.publicservice.co.uk/article.asp?publication=European%20Union&id=556&content_name=Science,%20Research%20and%20Technology&article=19490
Teaching as we know it is somehow turned upside down. Students find good stuff online, and they also publish their advises, experiences and so on to support other students. It is of course a challenging situation for lecturers and teachers to cope with all the new online tools and social media.
HiST works hard to explore new ways and new approaches. Second, the lecturers have to learn how to apply and utilize new tools and to realize that new devices could be of great use instead of distractions. There is a great need of competence improvements for teachers, trainers and tutors when it comes to relevant use of online tools. HiST along with Italian, Lithuanian, German and Portugese partners have developed a tailor-made course which is based on the Vitae course model. www.vitae-project.dk for teachers and trainers. Right now the course is piloted in four coutries, and the results might be very interesting. For follow-ups: http://aitel.hist.no/understandit/

Huge fire burns to edge of 3 small Calif. towns
Evacuee: 'All we can do is pray'
MANTON, Calif. (AP) — Aided by a shift in wind direction, firefighters made a stand against a huge lightning-sparked wildfire burning on the edge of three small Northern California towns.
The blaze, which has destroyed seven homes, has fearful residents seeking safety miles away at an emergency shelter. After igniting on Saturday, the fire has grown to more than 30 square miles and was 35 percent contained Tuesday morning.
Nearly 1,900 firefighters are battling the blaze in rugged, densely forested terrain as it threatens 3,500 homes in the towns of Manton, Shingletown and Viola, about 170 miles north of Sacramento.
The blaze has left some of the thousands of evacuees frustrated as they wait to hear the latest information.
"Yeah, but what can you do? Everything is in God's hands -- and the firefighters," said evacuee Lynn Rodgers, 47, of Shingletown, who along with her husband and two teenage sons sought shelter at a sports complex in nearby Redding, Calif.
Shifting winds that arrived on Monday were helping to keep the blaze away from homes, state fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said Tuesday. The winds are allowing fire crews to go after the blaze from multiple angles and to improve their containment lines around the wildfire.
However, Berlant said there is concern that expected gusts between 25 to 35 miles per hour on Tuesday could hamper efforts, especially along the southern edge
Also Tuesday, Gov. Jerry Brown announced that National Guard troops will be assisting with the firefighting efforts. The news comes a day after the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said it's offering federal funds to help fight the blaze.
The fast-moving Ponderosa Fire was one of many burning across the West, where lightning, dry temperatures and gusting winds sparking up aging grass, brush and timber have brought an earlier start to fire season.
Melted satellite dishes, the remains of burned furniture and charred refrigerators could be seen in some homes in the rural, remote area. As the wildfire burned, massive amounts of smoke poured up from the forest.
The fire forced the closure of Highway 44 and other roads, and prompted the declaration of an emergency in Shasta County. The Red Cross set up an evacuation center at a sports complex in Redding, where dozens of people, from the elderly to infants, as well as about a dozen dogs, were given shelter.
One evacuee, Bonnie Maloy, who escaped her home in Shingletown, along with her husband Bill, described the scene as they fled the flames.
"Frantic at first, then I said, `Let's calm down,' and we got everything that's important, things we couldn't replace: animals, kids, photo albums," she said.
Rodgers, another evacuee from Shingletown, said Tuesday that her family employed a similar strategy prior to getting the call on Saturday to leave their home of barely a year.
Along with her husband, Derek, and their two sons, Rodgers said they loaded up their belongings and two dogs and two cats. The family stayed at a motel on Saturday before joining other evacuees at the sports complex on Sunday.
Since then, Rodgers said she's staying busy by volunteering and cleaning up around the complex.
"It's our home right now, so for the time being, we should all be appreciative and take care of it," Rodgers said.
Meanwhile, crews handling a massive wildfire burning to the south in Plumas National Forest since July 29 that grew larger over the weekend due to strong winds are trying to re-establish containment lines. The blaze, about 120 miles north of Sacramento, has consumed 79 square miles and threatens about 900 homes. It remains 37 percent contained.
Also in California, a wildfire in Lassen Volcanic National Park remains at 79 percent containment. Officials expect the fire to be contained by Wednesday.
In Washington state, firefighters hope to fully contain a week-old wildfire that burned dozens of homes in Cle Elum, about 75 miles east of Seattle.
The Taylor Bridge Fire was 57 percent contained Tuesday morning. The blaze has caused an estimated $8.3 million in property damage.
Smaller fires are burning in Colorado, Idaho and Utah after being sparked by lightning over the weekend.

Bush-Stone Curlew
6 May 2005
The big-eyed, beautiful Bush-stone Curlew is one of our favourite birds here at the Zoo. These amazingly plumed, lanky, long-legged beauties are one of the most talked about, pointed at and gawked at birds of Australia Zoo's bird collection.The Bush-stone Curlew's big, beautiful eyes always grab the attention of our visitors and provide a sure-fire way to start up a conversation with our guests.
It is a daily occurrence for us to be asked questions like '�What type of bird is that?', 'Is that an owl?', 'What is that extraordinary creature?'. These questions and more are just about guaranteed each day, but we love a yak and we love educating the public about these birds and their plight in the wild. It is something we get a kick out of!
Bush-stone Curlews are a threatened species of nocturnal ground-dwelling birds, who were once a common sound of the night-time Aussie bush. These days land clearing and predation by the European fox (an introduced feral pest) and the feral cat, are having a serious impact on populations of the Bush-stone Curlews.
The Bush-Stone Curlew's amazing plumage camouflages them from natural predators such as the Wedge-tailed Eagle. Their big eyes that help them to see at night also help to spot any potential predators. These adaptations are, sadly, no match for the keen sense of smell of the feral cat and the cunning of the feral fox.
Bush-stone Curlews make a somewhat eerie, wailing noise at night (which is actually pretty cool!), and have been responsible for many a phone call to the police, from people thinking someone was screaming in the bush. For this reason the Bush-stone Curlew is also known as the 'Screaming Woman Bird'!
Here at Australia Zoo, we have an absolute beaut bunch of Bush-stone Curlews. Leading by example is the coolest cucumber of them all, the one and only 'Curly'. Curly is a legend, and he is the main man when we talk curlews. Curly loves the limelight and if you don't almost bump into this bloke while visiting the Rainforest Aviary, you must be walking around with your eyes shut!
Curly's better half is Ziggy, and together they make a great team. You could easily be mistaken and actually believe they are joined at the hip! Since falling head over heels for each other some four years ago, they can proudly boast many successful breeding seasons.
Their offspring, starting with the oldest, include 'J.C.', followed closely by 'Chilli'. These two can be found hanging out in the walk-through koala exhibit stealing the spotlight from the furry critters that hang out on trees eating gum leaves!
'Feathers', the third in line, is a fun-loving lass and a chip off the old block. Feathers has followed in her father's footsteps; she enjoys being the centre of attention (she also possesses a 'star' imprint on her forehead!). To catch a glimpse of this leggy bird, you'll have to keep your eyes peeled while seated in the crocoseum watching Lefty's freefight bird show. Yep, Feathers is a fully-fledged member of the bird show team.
The youngest of the curlew crew is 'Chad'. Chad is still living at home with mum and dad, and can also be found in the rainforest aviary.
For curiosity's sake, we would like to add that there are also two (sometime three) wild Bush-Stone Curlews, who can be spotted in the Red Roo Heaven enclosure. These guys just turned up, liked the look of the place, liked the neighbours (J.C. and Chilli) and decided to hang around.
So next time you're in town, don't forget to introduce yourself to the Bush-Stone Curlew family, and you can be assured that they will be keeping an eye out for you.
Our Amazing Bush Stone-curlews
Eerie wailing calls at night are often the only sign that Bush Stone-curlew are about. Not only have they become very rare in southern pastoral areas due to dis ...more

Rhode Island lawmaker wants to ban driving with dogs on lap
Palumbo says it's unsafe

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - No more lap dogs -- at least not behind the wheel.
A lawmaker in Rhode Island wants to put the brakes on people driving with their pooches in their laps.
Under State Rep. Peter Palumbo's proposal, driving with a canine co-pilot in your lap could result in an $85 ticket.
Palumbo says he loves dogs "as much as anyone," but driving that way is a danger to pets and to people.

Question, how do you get the back so curly? The front of my hair curls no problem using this method.....the back.....not so much. :( I don't know what is going wrong, I think the band may be too far down in the back maybe?

I find that the back of my hair curls much less than the front as well. Try wrapping the back as tight as you can get it around the headband. In the video you can see that I push the hair toward the front around the headband when I need more space in to wrap so I can get the back completely wrapped too. Also, I pull a bit of the sides back and spray it in place so it covers any less curly part. I hope that helps! - May 21, 2012 at 12:44 PM

The FTC's monthly newsletter for the Congressional community
It's the news you - and your constituents - can use.
Volume 6 - Number 11
November 2007
BOGUS FTC EMAIL. The FTC is warning consumers about a bogus email that says it's from the Federal Trade Commission's "Fraud Department," referencing a "complaint" filed with the FTC against the email's recipient. The email includes links and an attachment that download a virus. The FTC is telling recipients not to click on the links and not to open any attachments in this email or other emails you don't expect. The virus appears to install a "key logger" that could potentially grab passwords and account numbers. More information about bogus emails, phishing, and virus protection is available at www.OnGuardOnline.gov. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2007/10/bogus.shtm.
CONSUMER FRAUD SURVEY. The FTC has released a statistical survey of fraud in the U.S. that shows that more than 30 million people – 13.5 percent of the adult population – were victims of fraud during the year studied. An estimated 4.8 million consumers were victims of fraudulent weight-loss products, more than any of the other frauds covered by the survey. Twenty percent of African-Americans and 18 percent of Hispanics are estimated to have been fraud victims. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2007/10/fraud.shtm.
SAFE WEB ACT. At the FTC's request, a district court judge ordered an international enterprise to stop spamming consumers with allegedly false claims about products containing hoodia. This is the first case brought by the agency using the U.S. SAFE WEB Act to share information with foreign partners. The FTC alleged that the defendants used spammers to drive traffic to websites that sell two kinds of pills containing hoodia: one was supposed to cause significant weight loss, the other would dramatically reverse the aging process. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2007/10/hoodia.shtm.
DO NOT CALL REGISTRY. When the National Do Not Call Registry began, the FTC adopted a five-year re-registration mechanism. For five years, the FTC has successfully implemented the Registry, including a scrubbing program that has removed disconnected and reassigned numbers each month. The FTC has announced that it will not drop any telephone numbers from the Registry based on the five-year expiration period, pending final Congressional or agency action on whether to make registration permanent. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2007/10/dnctestimony.shtm.
DISC-O-TECH: The FTC preserved competition between two medical firms offering treatment options for those suffering from painful vertebral compression fractures. Kyphon, Inc., which offers kyphoplasty, a treatment to cement damaged vertebrae, proposed to buy Disc-O-Tech, a medical technology company working on a safer, lower cost alternative. The FTC challenged the merger and required Kyphon to sell off assets and intellectual property before completing the merger. The divestiture will allow another company to develop this innovative technique. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2007/10/kyphon.shtm.
COMBAT FRAUD. The FTC's Office of Congressional Relations invites Congressional staff to attend a "Combat Fraud Workshop" on November 15 in the Orlando area. An FTC representative will discuss the FTC's consumer education resources and how to use them in District outreach projects and constituent services programs. The workshop will run from 9:30 am to Noon at the Larry R. Jackson Library, 1700 North Florida Ave, Lakeland, FL 33805. For more information or to RSVP, contact Derick Rill at (202) 326-3007or firstname.lastname@example.com.
BY THE NUMBERS. The FTC will host a public workshop, "Security in Numbers: SSNs and ID Theft," to discuss the various uses of SSNs by the private sector, the necessity of those uses, alternatives, the challenges faced by the private sector in moving away from using SSNs, and how SSNs are obtained and used by identity thieves. The workshop, which is free and open to the public, will be held December 10 and 11, 2007, at the FTC's Conference Center, 601 New Jersey Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC. A government-issued photo ID is required for entry. The workshop will be webcast. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2007/10/ssnworkshop.shtm

STOP. THINK. CLICK: 7 PRACTICES FOR SAFER COMPUTING. Provides seven basic tips to help computer users be on guard against Internet fraud, secure their computers, and protect their personal information. 4 x 9", 16 pages. www.onguardonline.gov/docs/stopthinkclick.pdf
The FTC has issued reminders about weather emergencies like the wildfires that have displaced hundreds of thousands of people in southern California. For instance, having financial documents up-to-date, in one place, and portable can make a big difference at a tense time. If you'd like to help the victims of a natural disaster, the best way to provide immediate assistance is to donate money directly to established relief organizations with the experience and means to deliver aid. The FTC has these tips so consumers can prepare themselves for an emergency or help others affected by a natural disaster:
1) When it comes to preparing for situations like weather emergencies, financial readiness is as important as a flashlight with fully charged batteries. Leaving your home can be stressful, but knowing that your financial documents are up-to-date, in one place, and portable can make a big difference at a tense time.
2) Conduct a household inventory of all your possessions, documented by photo or video. Store the inventory and other important documents in a lockable, fireproof box so you can "grab it and go," if necessary.
3) Donate to recognized charities you have given to before. Watch out for charities that have sprung up overnight. They may be well-meaning, but lack the infrastructure to provide assistance.
4) Be wary of charities with names that sound like familiar, or internationally known organizations. Some phony charities use names that sound or look like those of respected, legitimate organizations.

Volleyball season often brings shoulder injuries to those who play. This article will touch on some of the reasons why these injuries occur, how to treat them, and better yet, how to prevent them.
Volleyball is considered an overhead activity. Serving, spiking, setting, and blocking all involve reaching or swinging the arms, sometimes violently. Injuries can be traumatic or cumulative. Traumatic ones involve a sudden force or impact to the shoulder or arm and include rotator cuff tears, dislocations, subluxations (partial dislocations), and separations.
Cumulative injuries are more common and include diagnoses such as rotator cuff tendonitis, bursitis, or impingement syndrome. These often occur because the shoulder is a very unstable joint that relies on the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and capsule to control the motion. Overloading these tissues by playing for long durations (like at a picnic or while on vacation) can irritate and cause injury -especially if you are not used to these motions. Warming up with similar light activity or basic exercises (such as some jumping jacks) and stretching can help improve your chances of not being the one that gets hurt.
If shoulder soreness or pain persists, icing, stretching, and taking some nonprescription anti-inflammatories may be all you need to recover. However, persistent pain may require a trip to the doctor and possibly physical therapy. In PT, exercises to balance the shoulder strength and flexibility will likely be given. Control is needed to keep structures from getting overloaded or pinched for long term results. (Searching online for basic scapular stabilization and rotator cuff exercises is an option for you overachievers out there.) Proper posture is also needed to put the shoulder in its place to function properly. Modalities such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation may also be utilized.
So whether you are playing volleyball for the first time in years or playing in sand leagues to keep sharp for the fall, give your shoulders a chance by warming up and playing for reasonable times. Enjoy the summer!

My 5 year old daughter got this kit for a birthday gift. We had no idea what it was. We opened it and my daughter and I had a GREAT time putting this together. She definitely needed my help with some of the assembly, but it was a wonderful learning experience for her: counting, following directions, assembly, pretend play. Finally, legos for girls!! I want to get her the whole set, however it is pricey. I feel like a better price would have been ten or twelve dollars, but I am pretty cheap. It was also a little tricky to snap a few of the pieces together, even for me. Last thing, one of the parts was missing. It was a flower: a non-essential part, but it was still missing. All in all, I highly recommend this product.This was perfect for my daughter: pink and girly to catch her attention, with a lot of great learning tools!

My 6 year old daughter loves her build and style convertible . Her dad had saved his old Legos which she loves by the way, but she keep ask if there was Legos for girls. When we saw this set she had to have it. We where pleased to see that the set came with a doll. We bought and extra doll so, there would be a partner. She has not stop playing with it since. I do have one issue with the small pieces, I wish they where a bit bigger. It would make it easier to keep track of the pieces. Not recommend if you have young children.

My daughter loved this set. The car is adorable and the trunk even opens! Barbie's hair easily falls off, and the stickers were really a pain to put on though. Other than that it's awesome and we play with it everyday!

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
My daughter had a lot of fun putting the lego pieces together, although this one was particularly easy. She has other models of this set, and actually wants to get all the sets! It's good entertainment, but watch for little ones, because it does have smaller pieces that I would not recommend to have around toddlers, or younger siblings.

- Major breakthrough at EU summit
- Equity markets rocket across the globe
- Another banking scandal hits Barclays
London blue chips rallied on Friday on the back of developments at the EU summit overnight, as analysts hailed the agreements as a major breakthrough.
The agreements include: the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) loan to Spanish banks will not have senior creditor status which effectively takes pressure off the countrys credit spread; the ESM will also be allowed to directly recapitalise banks; the rescue funds themselves will be used more flexibly to support compliant countries; and finally, the European Central Bank (ECB) will be acting as an agent for the rescue funds in market operations.
The news fuelled a surge in stock markets across Europe today, with benchmarks in France, Italy, Spain and Germany registering gains of 4-6% by the close. London's Footsie and the three major indices in the US were up around 2% each.
US stocks were making ground despite consumer sentiment data for June hitting its lowest levels since December and consumer spending falling in May for the first time since November.
While more news will likely leak out about the meeting throughout the rest of the day and over the weekend, investors are already looking ahead to policy decisions in the UK and Europe due next Thursday. The Bank of England is widely expected to ramp up its asset purchase programme, while the ECB is predicted to cut rates to a new low.
Yesterday's news that Barclays was found to have manipulated interbank lending rates was still weighing on the stock today as it failed to join in with the rally in equity markets. Following on from its 16% drop the day before, shares slipped a further 1.7% on Friday. The revelation has prompted calls for the resignation of Barclays CEO Bob Diamond.
HSBC, Lloyds and RBS on the other hand, finished the day strongly as they rebounded from sharp losses yesterday. However, confidence surrounding UK banks still remains low after the FSA revealed today that it had found "serious failings" in the way lenders sold complicated interest rate protection products to businesses.
In other banking news, Stephen Hester, RBS's CEO, said he would waive his bonus this year after a technical glitch at the bank left thousands of customers without access to their cash.
Water group Pennon was among the few stocks that finished in red (along with Barclays) after UBS started coverage on the stock with a 'neutral' rating. The broker said that the group, along with sector peer Severn Trent, has its relative benefits outside of M&A already priced in to the shares.
Telecoms giant Vodafone was also lower after Jefferies downgraded its rating on the stock from 'buy' to 'hold', highlighting threats from competitor fightbacks and this company's dependence on Verizon Wireless.
Outsourcing group Serco rose after completing the disposal of its Technical Services business to engineering giant AMEC for £137m.
Avocet Mining saw its share price plunge nearly 40% after the gold miner admitted that it now expects its gold production for 2012 to be reduced from 160,000 ounces to between 135,000 and 140,000 ounces. 2013 production guidance was also lowered.
House-builder Berkeley Group jumped after seeing both revenues and profits surge in the 2011/2012 fiscal year and saying it would hit its medium-term profit targets quicker than first thought. Sector peers Persimmon, Bellway and Barratt Developments also finished the day strongly.

Hill: Richmond must be more precise
10:00am Thursday 31st October 2013 in Sport
Richmond director of rugby Steve Hill insists the focus will be on improving their accuracy and execution after a series of errors cost them in their SSE National League One South encounter with Blaydon.
Replacement Hugh Roberts' 26th minute try got Richmond level at 5-5 on Saturday but that would be as good as it got with visitors Blaydon running out 5-24 winners.
Having matched their opponents for most of the first half hour, Richmond were reduced to 14 men when Christopher Davies was sent to the sin bin, Blaydon capitalising with a converted try to take a 5-12 half-time lead.
Two further tries would follow for Blaydon after the break, as Richmond struggled with their opponent's set-piece prowess.
Hill also admitted his side had a hand in their own undoing but despite the result making it three losses in a row, he insists there is no reason for panic.
"I thought we were strong in the first half but they scored a try just before half-time when we were down to 14 men," said Hill.
"Then in the second half they turned up the pressure and we made a few errors.
"They had a very efficient catch and drive from their line out. If you get a catch and drive it is very difficult to stop in this league.
"But we also just made too many errors and in the end it was very frustrating for us, the scoreboard probably did not reflect the game.
"We have to refocus and correct our error count, the lads will be working hard to rectify it.
"We had three guys on the weekend starting their first game, there was just a bit of inexperience in our team against a tough outfit.
"If we were not creating chances then I would be more worried. What we need to focus on is rectifying our error count and taking our opportunities when we can."
The afternoon started in the worst possible way for Richmond, with centre James Falconer being replaced by Roberts after picking up a serious knee injury on three minutes.
It adds to a rising injury list, leaving Hill grateful for the club's strength in depth as they look to get back to winning ways against Old Albanians next week.
"James is our sixth we have out injured out of the starting XV. That is bound to have an impact," added Hill.
"It looks like a serious injury. But it gives other people the chance to step up and take the opportunity.
"The second team train with the first team so the idea is that if someone gets injured another person can step up.
"Old Albanians tend to always give us a close game when we play them.
"But the boys are excited and will be working hard towards putting a performance in."

SUMMIT STATION, GREENLAND - JULY 11: A crew member of a ski-equipped C-130 from the New York Air National Guard stands near the plane at Summit Station, which is a scientific research station sponsored by the National Science Foundation, operated by CH2M Hill Polar Services (CPS) with research guidance from the Summit Science Coordination Office, where year-round monitoring of key climate variables are conducted to study air-snow interactions on July 11, 2013 at the Summit Station, Greenland. As the sea levels around the globe rise, researchers affiliated with the National Science Foundation and other organizations are studying the phenomena of the melting glaciers and its long-term ramifications. In recent years, sea level rise in places such as Miami Beach has led to increased street flooding and prompted leaders such as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to propose a $19.5 billion plan to boost the citys capacity to withstand future extreme weather events by, among other things, devising mechanisms to withstand flooding.

To your investments we brought in -- house security chief technical analyst Jeff Weiss.
To -- technicals.
Easy for all of us how -- IMO okay never they offered you no -- no one night I work your critics are right so tell me about why our viewers need to watch technical levels overall what.

Of stock market analysis.
It reflects not what people are simply opining but what people are doing where their money.
Not saying and the chart that you are put appear right yes and -- had a beautiful ladies yes that -- -- thank you land.

Is the -- sees.
Are for what the bulls need to do to extend the bull move tonight if we go back here made the mark we have made the market decide to go back to those marks.
You'll see circle on the far left.
And this is the July low of 2006.
K you'll notice that after we broke this line and rallied back to which Sheryl where I narrowed it and reds are not that naive way out of the absolutely look at collapsed.
In fourteen week okay what where we got back to the last two times that's in line tell you what you point I'll touch house that's not how I guess again sitting down like it's a very it's it's it's a very is that they're very -- -- -- -- and -- -- let me let me go to the next one here -- television the monthly closing chart for the S&P and just kind of talk me through this because again.

Apropos they hear on the last day of August are looking at this chart where again I -- Three arrows dating back.
I believed to February of 07123.
-- situated just below 1410.
But the bottom line is we need to rip out 1410 and a monthly close stay above the 1420 -- thirty area on -- weekly close -- if we can do that despite.
The worries of news background both domestically and internationally to the technical analyst.
It's the market action sort out what's happening at 1410 that was a big -- that's a big level -- that's a big -- on a technical level a cut and again we have to remember that date when someone gets a margin courts based on one thing the price of the stock that's technical I believe the whole market's technical but -- very bias OK all right now let's go to something else and this is where we actually get to play with the screen and and that's -- a little bit okay here is -- one month.
Of oil okay what does that say you about what we're out of what oil levels recognize its point three rapid dollar radio right now but over the last month -- -- this tell you this is a big rise well it shows a rise but if we actually went back a little further Cheryl.
We would see that on the daily closing chart of light sweet crude oil futures.
That the area of 92.
When I have to 93 and a half he is a -- lead.
Decent very short term support area about -- -- if we look at the the recent low -- 93 and change I'm not quite sure how it lines up here.

This high and this low.
You'll notice.
All in that low -- area the bottom line on oil is if it holds the vicinity of 92529350.
Let's see on the upside if it could tackle this high.
This hi this hi.
This low and that slow in the vicinity we could say of what -- what and I have 2102 and a half are so so here sir okay but the real -- 1420 -- thirty.
