Goal The objective of this project is to develop and test a towed electromagnetic source and receiver system suitable for deployment from small coastal vessels to map near-surface electrical structure in shallow water. The system will be used to collect permafrost data in the shallow water of the U.S. Beaufort Inner Shelf at locations coincident with seismic lines collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The electromagnetic data will be used to identify the geometry, extent, and physical properties of permafrost and any associated gas hydrate in order to provide a baseline for future studies of the effects of any climate-driven dissociation of permafrost and hydrate. Results will be used to expand the geological and geographical applications of marine electromagnetic methods, and provide a geophysical tool to complement the seismic methods currently being used.

Background Permafrost underlies an estimated 20 percent of the land area in the northern hemisphere and often contains associated methane hydrate. Numerous studies have indicated that permafrost and hydrate are actively thawing in many high latitude and high elevation areas in response to warming climate and rising sea levels. Such thawing has clear consequences for the integrity of energy infrastructure in the Arctic, can lead to profound changes in arctic hydrology and ecology, and can increase methane emissions through the dissociation of methane hydrates or by microbial processes accessing organic carbon that has been trapped in permafrost. There has, however, been significant debate over the offshore extent of subsea permafrost.
Our knowledge of subseafloor geology relies largely on seismic data and cores/well logs obtained from vertical boreholes. Borehole data are immensely valuable (both in terms of dollar cost and scientific worth), but provide information only about discrete locations in close to one (vertical) dimension. Seismic data are inherently biased toward impedance contrasts, rather than bulk sediment properties. In the context of mapping offshore permafrost and shallow hydrate, seismic methods can identify the top of frozen sediment through the identification of high amplitude reflections and high velocity refractors. However, simple 2-D seismic surveys do little to elucidate the bulk propertiesparticularly the thicknessof the frozen layers. However, permafrost and gas hydrate are both electrically resistive, making electromagnetic (EM) methods a complementary geophysical approach to seismic methods for studying these geologic features. Deep ocean EM methods for mapping gas hydrate have been developed by both academia and industry, but the deep ocean techniques and equipment are not directly applicable to the shallow-water, near-shore permafrost environment. The project addresses this problem by designing, building, and testing an EM system designed for use in very shallow water, and using it to not only provide insight into the extent of offshore permafrost, but also collect baseline data that will prove invaluable for future studies of permafrost degradation.
Impact The project will exploit the close association of hydrate and permafrost at high latitudes and, in particular, their common response to changing climate. By using a second geophysical method to supplement seismic data, researchers will be able to better map the current extent of permafrost and thus better understand the impact of past sea level rise on the hydrate stability field, as well as provide a critical baseline for studies targeting the effects of current climate change.

Velux Foundation and the Gallery
Thanks to a generous donation from the Velux Foundation and Villum Foundation, the National Gallery of Denmark, the National Museum of Denmark and the School of Conservation at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts are now setting up an all-new centre specializing in technological studies within art history. The Centre for Art Technological Studies and Conservation, or CATS will help resolve any doubts regarding the authenticity of works of art and thus safeguard cultural heritage.
International knowledge centre
CATS operates across boundaries of professional disciplines, offering a rare fusion between the realms of science and the humanities to become a leading international knowledge centre through target-oriented co-operation with other institutions and experts. Here, new and sophisticated scientific methods for research on art and culture can optimise the way art is treated and preserved for future generations.
The new centre will support conservators and art/culture historians in their research as well as in issues concerning the authenticity of a given work. In addition to this, the centre's work will undoubtedly bring about new knowledge about historical developments. First and foremost, however, CATS will be able to improve the charting of the greatly varied and frequently complicated processes of ageing that take place within the realms of art. Moreover, the centre also strives to develop new and more accurate ways of diagnosing, treating, and preserving our common art heritage. CATS will also engage in a range of EU-funded projects that cut across national boundaries.
Detective work: Bosch & Bruegel - workshop or copy?
One of the first initiatives undertaken by CATS will be to take part in an international research project together with the Kadriorg Art Museum in Tallinn, the Glasgow Museum, and the University of Glasgow. Under the heading "Four Paintings Magnified – Tracing Bosch and Bruegel" the project will examine four paintings on wood from the 16th century. They all show the same Biblical scene of Christ driving the traders from the temple. The paintings, one of which belongs to the National Gallery of Denmark, point to artists such as Bruegel (1525-69) and Bosch (ca. 1450-1516) as authors. This gives rise to a wealth of detective work ahead; through technologically aided analyses of painterly techniques and materials, the international research team will seek to pinpoint who the artist behind each work is. Their analyses will rest, among other things, on X-ray and infrared photography of layers of pigment and underdrawings, if any; on chemical analyses of pigment samples, and on analyses of the age and origin of the wood (known as dendrochronology).

Sea turtle monitors watch as leatherback turtle attempts to find a nesting spot on the beach.
Photo by Jerry Lower
Tags: leatherback, ocean ridge, sea turtles
Albums: Leatherback sea turtle on beach in Ocean Ridge
Location: "ocean ridge"
Barbara - She did head back out to sea without nesting.
There was a turtle specialist from the FWC who observed. She said they are aware of a tagged female who has been observed doing this on several occasions. For some reason the turtle seems to have problems digging the next cavity. Sad.
They couldn't read the tag on this one, so aren't sure if she is the same one or not.
I will check with them again and see if they've uncovered any additional information.
Mary Kate
She's a beauty ! It does not indicate whether or not she actually nested or changed her mind and went back to the sea ?
Would love to have a followup once they track the tag number to see what information they have to share about her ... please consider following up with the Permit Holder or the FWC and let us know in your fine publication. Thanks - Barbara James, Highland Beach.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 2:48 PM - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
A Colorado Springs man has been fighting for years to beat a deadly form of cancer.
His fight is coming to an end, but not before he gets to fulfill a lifelong dream.
When Mike Cercuozzi was called in to tow a motor home two years ago, he had no idea he would make a lifelong friend.
That motor home belonged to Kenny Blutt.
"We started talking about how he was in the military, and he was a retired colonel in the Air Force...I'm retired first sergeant from the Army," Cercuozzi said.
Another thing they had in common: a love for cars.
"This car in particular, Kenny's '69 Camaro...now fully restored."
Dennis Blutt told 11 News that it was always Kenny's dream to get his Camaro fixed up.
When Kenny was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer in 2004, his family didn't think he'd get the chance to see it looking like new.
But a few months ago, Kenny's tow truck driver and newfound friend Mike offered to help..
"He told me that his progression was getting worse and worse...I said 'you bring it to the shop and I'll restore it.'"
When Mike found out how little time might be left, he knew he would have to work fast.
"That's when everybody at MGM Collision chipped in and stayed late on the weekends and pulled together to get it done."
Now Dennis taking the car back to his brother hoping they'll get one last trip down memory lane.
"We're trying to get back down there for the Friday night cruise," Dennis said.
The fully restored vehicle, which Kenny bought brand new in 1969, only has 70,000 miles on it. The Blutt family hopes to have it around for awhile, as part of the legacy their beloved family member leaves behind.

God i wish they would just hurry up and release it already, soon as it comes out ill be buying it with a PS3 as a pack.
I personally don't see what all the hype is with Gran Turismo. I've played them all and only one racing game stands out to me and thats NFS Underground.
I agree. Simulation / track racing games just bore me now. I prefer fun racing titles like NFS Most Wanted etc.
Undergrounds a great game if you are into ricers. I beat both of them, had some fun, but doesn't hold a candle to my love for the GT series. I think on GT3 alone I beat the game 5 times at least, and with golds in all races, "if your not first, you're last."
1. Duke Nukem Forever has been meant to be released since like 2003 (something like that) and it probably won't come out within the next 10 years anyway. 2. GT isn't even such a superb and realistic simulator. LFS is about as good as it gets.
The only currently drivable driving sim that's actually matured enough to be considered playable, and actually being a sim driver, is iRacing. LFS is immature and thus still highly unrealistic.
Duke Nukem Forever is on the pedestal of Did Not Finish. It's gonna take more than that for GT to take that coveted position. XD Virtually all the games that were supposed to come out in March have been delayed until fall.
Oh God. There are so many things wrong here... :shadedshu Also, this is starting to get a stench of flame war. Ok, here goes: 1. GT is getting "late" because Kazunori Yamauchi won't make up his mind on how the hell he wants the game done, so he just keeps saying: "Ohh, the game is 90%" or "We could already release the game" followed by "...but we haven't everything like we wanted to be." over and over againg. WTF??! By now, one would expect (me, for instances) to get a game with a ton load of cars, from all over the world (instead of 20 Skylines/Imprezas/Lancers), with a thorough physics engine, that would blast anything that ever existed. But, as GTPlanet has been issuing news, my guess is the game will only feature the same physics engine as the GT4/GTHD and GT5rologue (and with that, no real breakthrough!) and mindf*** graphics that will make everyone forget how the game sucks at driving... 2. This is making 360's owners very happy 'cause they already got Forza and are very happy with it. (Flame wars are a consequence) 3. DON'T EVER MIX ARCADE DRIVING AND SIMULATION!! That is just plain wrong. They're different. Arcade cars mostly run as if they were on rail-tracks and never take damage. This also makes the game easy. If in a game that a car skids, takes damage, is difficult to maneuver and/or takes a week before you take the hang of it, means you're playing a Simulator. And that's how it's supposed to be. Honestly, if Arcade racing games were real, we would be seeing toddlers driving cars. Because it's just that easy. 4. LFS is a very good game. Another very good one is rFactor. And maybe all of the SimBin games. Why almost nobody knows them? Because they're SIMULATORS, and are made by individuals that don't have the money power to show off their creations in adds, thus relying on the community. Sometimes (all of the time, actually), a Die Hard Arcade Racing fan tries to play with it, but because the game isn't supposed to be easy, fails at it, becomes frustrated and tells everyone the game is bad. This also helps making the game unpopular. 5. GT5 WILL probably be released once Sony realizes that they already have enough people starving and drooling at the wallpapers to release the game at 70€ and make a profit. 6. The good cars will only be available trough DLC, and you will have to pay for it. (This has not been stated anywhere else, I'm just saying this now, because that's how I'm seeing this happening) 7. Has anyone here ever played Enthusia Professional Racing? /rant Thank you for your patience. EDIT: I haven't played iRacing yet. But seems like I won't do it anyway because i don't like "subscription" idea. You pay the game, period, and then play it. WTF! 179$ so i can play it for two years??! I paid 20€ to play TrackMania 3 years ago, and I still play it, no extra charge!
LFS is superb indeed. But if you want real tracks and cars, GT is the next best thing. There are those who like GTR, but personally ive never liked how the cars feel in those games. And gran turismo hasnt been delayed recently by any means, was just delayed for the supposed march date which was known early this year. iRacing looks nice, but pricy subscription. LFS should suffice. @JP. The creator of GT, cant remember how to spell his name said they wont do any DLC, i dont see him changing that.
Yeah the subscription is the main failpoint. They could at least have made a free 30 day trial available. But a friend of mine who is kind of a sim fanatic is currently just testing it for a month and I have to say it drives very good.
Indeed i cant see it ether, id turn off those features anyway, I am happy just how it is like GT4 was, works great for me.
@Hybrid_theory - I know Yamauchi said no DLC, but it is quite a fad that has been going on in recent years. So even if Yamauchi doesn't want DLC, Sony has the final word and it's their word that counts the most. It also has been a fad to get profit from games by any means available...so...this is just another one. GT has real cars and tracks (few), but you know another game that is actually a simulator that also has those? ToCa Race Driver 3. @Thrackan - I'm not saying that the game is bad, I haven't tried it yet. I'm just saying, is it worth it, for that price tag?
If you're a sim fanatic it would be worth it. I'm not paying a monthly sub mainly because I play games maybe once or twice a month nowadays. Otherwise I'd be subbed. Him and I have been specifically looking at good sim games over the last couple of months, and as of now, nothing compares to iRacing. It's a decent, matured sim racing game, with decent realistic driving. I can't find anything that comes close, and I've tried alot (rFactor, GTR, "Race" series, LFS etc.) Have to add I'm specifically looking for a PC sim racer.

Quvenzhané Wallis of "Beasts of the Southern Wild" Crazy about Nazie!
Interview with Kam Williams
Quvenzhané 'Nazie'(Nay-zee) Wallis was born on August 28, 2003, in Houma, Louisiana where she attends Honduras Elementary School. She is the daughter of Venjie and Qulyndreia Wallis, and sister to Qunyquekya, Vejon and Venjie Jr.
Nazie loves reading, singing, dancing, acting and playing her iPod and Nintendo DS. She's a big fan of China McClain, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus, and her favorite sports are basketball, volleyball, dance and cheerleading.
Here, she talks about her Oscar-worthy performance as Hushpuppy in Beasts of the Southern Wild, a visually-enchanting modern parable issuing a dire warning about the threat to the planet posed by civilization and corporations if left unchecked.
Kam Williams: Hi Quvenzhané, thanks for giving me an interview. You were so beautiful and so amazing in this movie! I was really stunned by your stage presence.
Quvenzhané Wallis: Thank you.
KW: I thought you were funny and charming when I saw you interviewed by Jay Leno on the Tonight Show recently. And I know that you also went to the Sundance Film Festival and travelled to France for the Cannes Film Festival. What was that like?
QW: I had a lot of fun in France. I liked how they said my name over there. They wouldn't say Quvenzhané. They would say a whole other thing.
KW: What type of name is Quvenzhané? I thought it was French, especially since you're from Louisiana, where there are a lot of people with French ancestry.
QW: It's Swahili.
KW: My name is Swahili, too. Kam is short for Kamau.
QW: [To her mother, excitedly] His name is Swahili, too! [To me] What does Kamau mean?
KW: "Quiet warrior." What does your name mean?
QW: My name means "fairy."
KW: May I call you by your nickname, Nazie?
QW: Yes, but it's pronounced "Nay-zee."
KW: Sorry, "Nay-zee." You were only 5, when you auditioned for the role of Hushpuppy. Had you acted or taken acting lessons before?
QW: No.
KW: Did you enjoy making Beasts of the Southern Wild?
QW: Yes.
KW: A lot of scenes were shot on the bayou and around animals like alligators, pigs and chickens. Were you ever afraid, Nazie?
QW: Yes, I was afraid of the pig.
KW: What was it like seeing yourself on the big screen for the first time, after the film was finished?
QW: I was like: "Wow! There is actually a bigger me, but I can handle it." It was something you wouldn't get used to, but I felt smaller, and my voice was smaller, too. So, there was like a bigger me with a smaller voice, and a smaller me with a big voice. It was something I would never have thought would happen that way.
KW: You are the youngest of four kids. Do your sister and big brothers treat you any differently now that you're a movie star?
QW: Nope, they treat me the same way.
KW: Nazie, are you anything like your character, Hushpuppy?
QW: In some ways I am, in some ways I'm not. We both like to go outside and do some things that you wouldn't even think about.
KW: What do you think people will learn from this movie?
QW: That when you're a little kid, you might have to take care of your parents as much as they take care of you. Otherwise, they might get sick, and that's something you don't want to happen.
KW: What do you like to do to have fun?
QW: Ride my bike.
KW: What is your favorite movie?
QW: Happy Feet 2.
KW: What is your favorite book?
QW: Judy Moody.
KW: Have you seen the Judy Moody movie?
QW: No, I don't think so, but I might have seen it at school.
KW: I think you'd remember it if you'd seen it. It's really cool! What do you like to watch on TV?
QW: The Disney Channel.
KW: Which Disney show is your favorite, Nazie?
QW: Jessie.
KW: I heard that you got along with Dwight Henry, who plays your father in Beasts of the Southern Wild, because he gave you a lot of brownies and cupcakes from his bakery the day he had to audition with you.
QW: Yes, but that's not really why I liked him. I liked him because of his personality. He just acted hisself.
KW: What is your favorite food to eat?
QW: Jambalaya... No, stir-fry.
KW: When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
QW: Myself.
KW: If you could have one wish instantly granted, what would that be for?
QW: To be a wizard.
KW: Like Harry Potter?
QW: No, like a wizard on The Wizards of Waverly Place. It's another show I like on the Disney Channel.
KW: I've interviewed two of the stars on that show: Selena Gomez and Jake T. Austin. The Ling-Ju Yen question: What is your earliest childhood memory?
QW: I can't remember that far back, only to auditioning when I was 5 years-old.
KW: The Kerry Washington question: If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
QW: I would like to be a penguin and a leopard.
KW: What do you want to be when you grow up, an actress or something else?
QW: A dentist.
KW: Who is your hero?
QW: My mom.
KW: What is your favorite music to listen to?
QW: Dancing music.
KW: Is there any question no one ever asks you, that you wish someone would?
QW: Yes, how did you burp and scream like that in the movie?
KW: Okay, how did you burp and scream like that?
QW: It's just something I learned how to do. The screaming I do at my brothers' basketball games to make the other team miss foul shots. One of them is in junior high, and the other one is going to high school.
KW: What advice do you have for anyone who wants to follow in your footsteps?
QW: I don't know, but I would say you have to be nice to people you meet.
KW: It must be hard for a kid to have to do a lot of interviews when you might like to be out playing.
QW: Yes, it's very hard for a kid to deal with.
KW: Well, I really appreciate your taking the time to talk to me, Nazie, and congratulations again on making such an impressive acting debut.
QW: Thank you.

When it comes to hangovers, it seems everyone has advice. And you can get plenty of it this time of year. There's the cold shower, the strong cup of coffee. Or just drinking lots of water. And then there are the remedies that can only be called bizarre — more on them in a moment. When there are this many solutions to a common problem, it's likely none of them works very well. Otherwise, we'd only be talking about the one that works. In fact, the case could be made that a single "hangover cure" is elusive because it does not exist. It's a myth — at least so far. Believe it or not, no one really knows the cause of hangovers. Even the definition of a hangover varies in different studies. In general, a hangover is an unpleasant state that occurs after drinking alcohol as the blood alcohol level drops. Common symptoms include:
We know a lot about the effects of alcohol on the body (including the potentially dangerous alcohol withdrawal syndromes common in alcoholics). But what we know doesn't explain hangover symptoms very well. For example, alcohol:
Perhaps you've noticed that some people seem to be more prone to hangovers than others. It's true of women and people of Asian descent. And some people seem to be resistant to hangovers. There is likely a genetic component to this tendency. What you drink may matter when it comes to hangovers. Limited research suggests that "clear" alcohol (such as beer, vodka or gin) has less of a tendency to cause hangovers than darker drinks (such as wine, whiskey or brandy). This may be due to "cogeners" — byproducts of alcohol fermentation — rather than the alcohol itself. Still, it's clear that hangovers can occur if you drink enough of any alcoholic beverage. The pace and quantity of alcohol you drink also matter. Generally, the severity of a hangover is closely linked to how much alcohol you drink and how quickly you drink it. Historians estimate that humans have been drinking at least since 10,000 B.C. So the notion that hangovers can be cured may be among the oldest of all medical myths. At least I assume that's true; I wasn't there. And there aren't good records of the first suggested hangover cure. Ancient man probably sought out hangover remedies to end the misery. But modern man can seek relief for another good reason: Hangovers are expensive. One estimate put the cost in lost wages related to hangovers at $3.5 billion per year in the United Kingdom and $23 billion each year in the United States. One reason the cost of hangovers is so high is that over-indulging is so common. A 2010 survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 1 in 6 Americans admitted to binge drinking (at least 4 or 5 alcoholic beverages over 2 hours) at least once a week. The true prevalence may be higher, as some people don't admit to how much they really drink on surveys. Only a few studies have carefully examined hangover treatments. There is at least some evidence of benefit for:
Unfortunately, these studies were small and far from definitive. And there are also studies challenging these and many other remedies. For example, other studies show that artichoke, prickly pear and table sugar (yes, table sugar) provided no clear benefit for hangovers. Despite the uncertain link between the effects of alcohol and hangover symptoms, many hangover cures are based on a direct connection. For example, people are often told to eat eggs because they're a good source of cysteine. Here's the logic:
Does any of this matter in reversing a hangover? That's uncertain, but cysteine (or its building blocks) is a common component of hangover remedies sold worldwide. Popular Remedies Could Be Harmful Some commonly recommended remedies could be bad for people with hangovers. Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) is not great for the liver. It could be particularly troublesome in high doses among regular, heavy drinkers. Pain relievers like ibuprofen (as in Advil) or naproxen (as in Aleve) may irritate the already unhappy stomach. Occasionally, even more serious complications develop, such as stomach perforation or internal bleeding. Most hangover remedies sold commercially in the United States are simply over-the-counter vitamin supplements of one sort or another. But, as with other over-the-counter supplements, most are not well studied and do not carry Food and Drug Administration approval for their claims. Even the most popular remedy, coffee, might not be the best idea. While caffeine could counter some of the fatigue and lethargy the day after the big party, it can worsen dehydration because it is also a diuretic. And coffee can also worsen heartburn and upset stomach. Some of the More Strange Remedies For reasons I can't figure out, people are willing to subject themselves to some pretty outrageous stuff in the hopes of curing a hangover. Perhaps it's just misery or desperation. It's highly unlikely that any of the following work. And I don't recommend them:
Other remedies based on this principle include one called, appropriately enough, "The Suffering Bastard." It's worth noting that health professionals consider drinking more alcohol to counter side effects of drinking a possible indication of a drinking problem. Think of a hangover as an unpleasant experience that actually serves a good purpose: to remind you to drink in moderation. The problem is that many of us never learn. There are only a few approaches that clearly work, or are so harmless they seem worth recommending:
So, how much alcohol is too much? That's not clear, but one glass of wine with dinner seems much less likely to cause a hangover than drinking enough to get drunk. Research studies often focus on "binge drinking." This is considered having 5 or more drinks in a 6-hour period or at least 4 drinks in an hour or two. But, it's also true that even 2 or 3 drinks over several hours can lead to headaches, fatigue and "cotton mouth" the next morning. But that's probably the exception rather than the rule. When it comes to hangover remedies, the number of "cures" and the amount of marketing far exceed the science. If you find yourself with a bad hangover, there's no quick fix. That said, I think it makes sense to drink plenty of water and sports drinks, eat something bland, and give it some time. Soon, you'll feel better no matter what you do. Until next time. Robert H.

I'm only twenty-two months old and I've been diagnosed with Type I (yep, juvenile) diabetes. I guess my pancreas was attacked by my auto-immune system recently and now it doesn't work. My pancreas doesn't make insulin.
But that's OK. My Daddy's pancreas doesn't work either, and neither does my favorite Aunt Gigi's or my Uncle Nathan's or my Grandpa Kip's. We just don't make insulin.
It's OK because I don't know what a pancreas is and I don't care. I just need to be hugged a lot.
Next to creamsickles, I like insulin best.
I'm OK, though. My Mommy is all over this. She loves me and kisses me a lot and she reads to me every night, too. She does that because I'm a little kid and you're 'sposed to read to little kids.
My Nana loves me a lot too. She lets me come stay with her and play with Chelsea and we go for a walk every morning. I sit on my push trike and Nana pushes me all over the neighborhood and I get to see flowers and birds and things.
My Nana has to give me booboos. It doesn't hurt so I don't know why it makes my Nana sad but it does. She doesn't like giving me booboos. I think my Nana is nice and I hope she will stop feeling sad about giving me booboos soon.

Mansory Carbon Fiber Porsche Cayenne
Exotic auto tuner Mansory, makers of the $2.5 million Vincero Bugatti Veyron we wrote about earlier this year, have turned their attention to the Porsche Cayenne for their latest over-the-top creation. The Chopster as it's called has basically been completely rebuilt in carbon fiber with the addition of sporty chrome wedge-shaped panels on the doors. A product of Mansory's recent acquisition of Rinspeed's Porsche tuning arm, the revamped super-SUV has a wider, lower profile. Powering the beast is a 710 hp turbocharged V-8 with 665 lb.-ft. of torque and a top speed of 188 mph, while amped-up brakes are housed in massive 23″ x 11″ wheels. Inside you'll find even more carbon fiber, two-tone leather upholstery, a refrigerator, DVD player, internet-enabled laptop, head-rest monitor screens and more.

BlackRock Inc., the world's biggest money manager, said third-quarter profit increased 14% as assets rose on investor deposits into its stock exchange-traded funds and active bond products.
Net income rose to $730 million, or $4.21 a share, from $642 million, or $3.65, a year earlier, the New York-based company said today in a statement. BlackRock gathered $25 billion into its products in the quarter.
Chief Executive Officer Laurence D. Fink, 60, has reorganized BlackRock's businesses as he seeks to revive investor deposits into active products and attract more individual investors to passive ETFs. The division that manages active bonds, revamped last year to give more accountability to unit heads Rick Rieder and Kevin Holt, attracted $7.2 billion -- the most in almost four years. The iShares ETF unit, which opened new equity products last year with lower fees, gathered $21.1 billion into stock funds in the quarter.
"Long-term flows remain positive," Daniel Fannon, an analyst at Jefferies & Co. in San Francisco, said today in a note to clients.
BlackRock gained 3% to $290.83 at 10:59 a.m. in New York. The shares rose 37% this year through yesterday, compared with the 29% increase in the 20-member Standard & Poor's index of asset managers and custody banks.
BGI Acquisition
Excluding certain items, adjusted earnings of $3.88 a share matched the average estimate of 20 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
The firm acquired Barclays Global Investors in December 2009 to expand into passive investments. It offers actively managed stock and bond funds; is the largest provider of ETFs through its iShares unit; and runs portfolios that use mathematical models.
Fink has said BlackRock has the potential to increase its assets by about 5% annually by developing new ETFs and expanding its reach among individuals. BlackRock's assets increased 6.2% to $4.1 trillion during the quarter.
Money managers such as BlackRock, which earn fees based on the assets they manage for clients, traditionally benefit from rising stock markets and investor deposits into higher-fee active funds. The MSCI All Country World Index of global stocks rose 7.4% in the third quarter.
BlackRock's revenue rose 6.6% to $2.5 billion, driven by an increase in the advisory fees the firm earns for overseeing client money. Expenses rose 4.2% to $1.5 billion.
'Idiosyncratic' Withdrawals
Investors pulled $1.5 billion from BlackRock's fixed-income ETFs, and removed $5.1 billion from actively managed stock funds.
Fink said today during a conference call with investors that he is pleased with the performance of BlackRock's active equity products, and that the "idiosyncratic" withdrawals were a result of international uncertainty in the markets. Deposits into active fixed-income products were fueled by BlackRock's performance and the fact that institutional clients had more cash on hand to invest, Fink said.
As BlackRock has sought to improve deposits into active stock funds, Chris Leavy, chief investment officer of BlackRock's fundamental equity unit in the Americas, replaced portfolio managers at strategies that represented about 40% of the division's $115 billion. Leavy is currently on medical leave.
In March, BlackRock enhanced its partnership with Boston- based Fidelity Investments to sell more ETFs directly to individual investors. Fink said today that the relationship will help stabilize quarterly investor deposits.
Averting Default
Fink said during a telephone interview today he thinks the U.S. will avert a default by the end of the month, yet the debate is dissuading foreign investors from buying U.S. securities.
"Do I believe there will be some resolution and that we don't default? The answer is still yes," Fink said.
ETFs have been the fastest-growing segment of the asset- management business, benefiting firms such as BlackRock, Vanguard Group Inc. and State Street Corp. In the 12 months ended Aug. 31, ETF assets in the U.S. increased 21% to $1.47 trillion, according to data from the Washington-based Investment Company Institute, the fund industry trade group.
Investors pulled about $60 billion from U.S. bond funds during the third quarter, according to estimates from the ICI amid concern that the Federal Reserve may reduce its bond purchases. BlackRock had about one-third of its assets in fixed income as of Sept. 30.

Rise to the challenge with raised bed cultivation
7:18am Tuesday 26th June 2012 in Grow Your Own
growing your own is something everyone should try for better taste, healthier living and saving money and food miles into the bargain, writes Claire Hart.
Anyone can grow veg, in a wooden planter, grow bag or ideally a small raised bed. Advantages of using raised beds include less bending, easier maintenance and greater productivity as you can have a greater plant density. Plus you and can extend the growing season because the soil in a raised bed will heat up faster than the lower ground level in the spring and retain heat in the winter. Raised beds also make it much easier to set up a covering system to protect against pests. Try FIGO universal frame connectors which grip differing cane thicknesses, to build sturdy garden frames or cloches to whatever size or shape you need, over which you can drape fleece or netting. If you use a covering of fleece or polythene you can then sow a few weeks earlier and use the retained heat to extend your growing season too.
Building a raised bed To create a raised bed you can use a range of materials from old railway sleepers to bricks, paving stones and wooden pallets, although if using the former be aware of tar like treatments leaching out into your veggy patch. Make them at least 8/10 inches high above ground level and keep the width to around 4ft so that you can reach the middle from either side.
If you don't fancy constructing one from scratch, why not try a kit, such as WoodBlocX™ which simply slot together like giant wooden building blocks. Back sufferers should consider The VeggyTables™ on legs- ideal for wheel chair users. An off the ground raised bed also means warmer soil and better drainage and alleviates pest and soil damage.
Whatever materials you opt for, when laying the bed, ideally take off the top two inches of turf and turn it over to kill off the grass and weeds. If digging up the grass doesn't appeal, you can opt for laying down at least 20 sheets of newspapers or several sheets of thick card, before adding a good mix of 2/3rds compost to one third soil with some organic rotted manure mixed in for good measure.
No dig cultivation Once set up, you can employ the No-Dig method of cultivation within your raised bed, or indeed any border. This method involves a layering system and lets the earth worms do the work for you. Having filled your raised bed with a good mix, spread organic matter on top as a mulch. You can also layer with straw or hay, a bit like a club sandwich. Thus no matter how poor the base line soil is, you will always have a rich layer in which to grow veg and no need to keep digging. Just pile mature manure into the bed every autumn.
How To Optimise Your Raised Bed Productivity: Crop varieties to grow Avoid tall vegetable plants such as climbers and also plants which need support as the soils looser structure will not readily support them. Root vegetables like Parsnips, turnips and carrots are ideal for raised beds, provided they are deep enough to allow good root growth.
We're seeing more and more varieties developed to produce a high yield in small spaces, such as Dwarf French beans like Delinel (stringless), Maxi, Soleon or Amethyst, or why not try new white Aubergine- Ivory, which is compact enough to be grown in containers. Other baby varieties include carrot "Atlas", an early maturing type that has round smooth roots. "Baby Beet Action" is a very sweet and tender variety, and still retains its round shape if sown quite thickly. All varieties are available from kitchen garden seed specialist, Marshalls.
Raised beds and wooden planters are also ideal for spring onions, and growing salads on a cut and come again basis, harvesting the larger leaves by cutting them as required, leaving the smaller leaves to grow on for cutting later on. Then sow another crop about three weeks later.
Crop rotation Given you have a finite area in a raised bed, it is important to implement rotational cropping (change what you grow, where, every season). This is important to avoid certain pests and diseases building up and draining the soil of nutrients. Use nitrogen fixing legumes like beans and peas to release nitrates back into the soil, enriching it ready for nutrient hungry varieties such as brassicas. Then in the third year, in that section grow onions or carrots, which do not need such rich soil and indeed best avoided for carrots to avoid them "forking". Keep plants of the same family together as they have similar requirements. (For example potatoes like lime but brassicas do not).
Sucessional sowing Sometimes, less is more, so, you should use successional sowing to ensure a steady, regular and appropriate supply of vegetable throughout the growing season, rather than a glut all at once. Basically, using the principle of little and often, it involves extending your harvest by sowing a row every few weeks or so. Quick growing crops such as Dwarf French beans, peas, spinach, salads and carrots lend themselves to this way of cultivation. In this way you can ensure a regular, fresh supply of vegetables that otherwise would perish quickly under storage conditions.
Other varieties that are prone to bolting (growing less leaves and moving into flower and seed production) such as rocket, spinach, broccoli, cilantro, basil, cabbage and lettuce especially need to be sown successionally.
If you sow the longer fruiting crops such as courgette, cucumbers and runner beans and sweet corn in two batches, spaced a few weeks apart, you can optimise produce availability well into the autumn.
If you want to keep a regular supply of salads going this summer, chose a range of varieties for continuous cropping. Lettuce "Little Gem" and carrot "Marion" are ideal for successional sowing.
Outdoor sowings can be made every one to four weeks, from mid-April through to late summer. Sow seeds thinly, in short rows, and if the seed is very fine, use shallow drills, watered first, prior to sowing. Don't forget to label your rows, and space apart according to the instructions on the seed packet. By keeping an eye on how well the seeds are growing, you can work out when to re-sow. Don't forget to keep plants well watered.
Some cultivars do not need to be sown successionally, such as as aubergines, peppers and tomatoes as they produce fruits over a long period, hence are self regulating. Similarly, those that store well, like onions and garlic, do not need to be sown successionally either, neither do varieties that need longer to mature, like sprouts and leeks, which are best left to over winter in the ground, for picking as required.
April is the busiest month for outdoor sowings of beetroot, broccoli, brussels sprouts, spring cabbage, carrots, dwarf french beans, leeks, mange tout, parsnips, radish, salads, swede and early turnip.
So go on-get growing veg and give raised beds a try. Not only will you save time and effort, you will enjoy an extended harvest and can try a much grater choice of varieties than in the shops.

Lawyer: Lisbon hunter thought he hit doe
Fish and Game officer Gregory Jellison testified Monday that Holmes thought the deer was down, and that he "had made a good shot." But as Holmes moved in to view the kill, he made a horrific discovery — he had hit Kenneth L. Brunelle, 31, of Marlborough, Mass., a 31-year-old father of two young boys. Brunelle died from a shot to the neck from the 30-06 Winchester rifle Holmes was carrying.
Each of the Class B felonies carries a potential sentence of 3 1/2 to seven years in state prison.
As the 13 jury members — five men and eight women, including an alternate — listened, defense attorney Leonard Harden of Lancaster asked Jellison, "Wade was consistent that he saw a deer."
Harden criticized authorities' handling of the scene that day in the woods, specifically the large number of people he said were allowed to "walk around" there.
"Would it surprise you if there were more than 20 people up there?" Harden asked.
Authorities said Brunelle was not hunting that day, but was wearing camouflage in a hunting party that included his father and brother, and was filming them as they hunted.
"He said this was something he would have to live with the rest of his life," Hamilton testified.
In what's scheduled to be a five-day trial before Judge Peter H. Bornstein, jurors traveled to view the shooting scene last week. They're expected to get the case late this week.

Is it okay to display large chain logos in your portfolio?
Hi guys,
I had a client who had rented a unit in a large chain supermarket. I produced an advert for them which featured a bag of shopping from said supermarket (I honestly don't know if my client actually had the artwork printed or actually used it, last I heard they were seeking authorization to use the logo).
The bag of shopping was featured only to illustrate that my client's company would 'buy your shopping' if you found their deal cheaper else where.
Now, I want to display this ad in my portfolio of work (but of course the supermarket logo is on the plastic bags).
Is this okay to use?
I'm not claiming to have worked, or been endorsed by the super market at all. Only stating that the client had a unit inside the supermarket premises and that *this* was a promo flyer design we produced for the client.
On a side-note: I remember seeing other designer portfolios where they will do mock-adverts for the latest mobile & smartphone handsets, or new TV sets etc and include logos like Nokia and Sony in their artwork and the ads are just for fun to showcase their skills (i assume with a credible name or in a setting that loans a real-life scenario to their work) so that's kinda of similar I guess.

I wouldn't go by what "I've seen others do".
I think the easiest thing would be to edit the image to either remove the logo or replace it with something generic like "store logo".
Else I would contact whoever has rights to the logo and get written permission to use it in your image.10 Rules for Driving Traffic Using Forums | Ultimate SEO Checklist

just to add to this...
The logo has not been 'placed' into the image. And I am not intentionally "using" the logo.
The image in question is of flyer/leaflet artwork I designed, and within the artwork is a photograph of a plastic bag bearing the logo.
I would imagine it could be argued that the logo in question is in the image inadvertently. I have obscured the logo (via a radial blur) for time being but would really like some other opinions on this.

I would usually play it safe and suggest you seek permission from the owner of the logo (that is, the supermarket). But in this case, I don't think that would be necessary. If I've understood you right, this is an ad you created yourself, and you now want to include that ad in your portfolio.
If you had permission to use the logo in the original ad, then that would clearly cover your use of the ad in your portfolio. After all, the whole point of a portfolio is to show the work that you have already done.
If you didn't have permission to use the logo in the original ad, then that in itself is possibly a much bigger problem. Whether or not you use the ad in your portfolio isn't really going to make any difference to that.
If you're still unsure, one option would be to display a small caption under the ad that says something like the XYZ logo is a trademark of the XYZ Company. Personally, I would prefer to do that, rather than blurring out the image, which would detract from the overall appearance of the ad.

There's also a case for fair use. If you take a photo, or draw a picture, and it features corporate branding within it, as part of the scene, that's absolutely fine. On the other hand, if the branding is front and centre, and is an essential rather than incidental part of it, that's when you might need to be more careful.

Last weekend, I attended the Hudson Children's Book Festival with CCHS' educators. Have you ever been to the book festival? It is a wonderful place! There is a whole school gym filled with people who write great books for children. I got to meet lots of authors, and even some of my favorite characters from books.
Of course, I had to check out the history books. Here I am with Richard Copley, who showed me 3D images from his book The Civil War: A History in3D. CCHS is working on a new exhibition on the Civil War in honor of the 150th anniversary, so I was definitely interested in this book. Mr. Copley took stereoscope views (Stereoscope views are special cards that have two slightly different images. When you view them through a special stereoscope viewer, they appear in 3D. They were very popular in the 19th century as a type of entertainment.) of the civil war, and converted them so you can view them with regular 3D glasses- neat!
I also met Anita Sanchez, who wrote Mr. Lincoln's Chair. It is also related to the Civil War, and the story of the Shakers.
Here I am with Lesa Cline-Ransome. She has written many wonderful books on history, includingQuilt Counting, Words Set me Free,and biographies on Helen Keller, Pele, and many others! Her husband, James Ransome, illustrates her books, and also books by other authors.
Hudson Talbott read to me from his bookRiver of Dreams.It is all about the history of the Hudson River.
That was just a part of my day at the book festival… check back for part 2!
