text: Home Culture Hot Black Artists, Hotter Scene at Art Basel It seemed like the right time and the right place for black talent this year. And then there were the parties. By: Julie Walker Posted: Dec. 5 2011 11:51 AM 0 Venturelli/WireImage; Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for HL Group;Gustavo Caballero/Getty Images By any standard, four sales for one gallery in the opening hour of an art show is impressive, but when all four artists are black, it's just short of amazing. The Tilton Gallery chose to show more than half a dozen black artists during the Art Basel Miami Beach show, something gallery associate Ryan McKenna said "is more than we would normally show," but he added that these are the "artists we're really interested in right now." McKenna said it is not just black artists who are hot right now, but "multicultural is the new direction of contemporary art." (See The Root's slideshow of selected works by black artists.) Welcome to the 10th year of ABMB, which took place in Florida's Miami Beach Convention Center from Dec. 1-4. It is considered one of the most prestigious art shows in America, where six- and seven-figure sales are not uncommon, and black artists from all over the world have a strong foothold. More than 260 top galleries from North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa took part, showing works by more than 2,000 artists. The show attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year and is a "must do" for anyone and everyone in the art world. One of the big stars of ABMB this year is Theaster Gates, a multidisciplinary artist who works with sculpture, performance and urban planning as well as other art forms. Every Gates piece that the Kavi Gupta Gallery displayed sold out, including 24 sculptures shown outside the convention center in the Collins Park public space, which went for $30,000 each. Gates, who was partying it up with several other black artists at an event thrown by New York gallery owner Jack Shainman -- where shrimp cocktail, ribs, coleslaw and potato salad were served -- said "he's humbled" by his success. Shainman, who represents some of the biggest black contemporary artists, noted that there were so many galleries around his own in the convention center showing black artists, it was like "a small ghetto." He meant that in the most endearing way. Shainman has been a go-to-guy for African and African-American artists seeking representation. He remembers his first ABMB in 2002, when, he said, very few dealers aside from him were bringing black artists to sell. Now, he said, black artists are "finally getting the recognition they deserve," and not only are people buying their work, but they're buying at the same prices that white artists command. Hank Willis Thomas' iconic photographs, which often merge race, history and popular culture, are sold by Shainman for $30,000 each. It was Thomas' first trip to ABMB seven years ago that convinced him to become an artist. Of that time he said, "I didn't know that my work would be worth as much." He also said that success for one black artist means success for all in the tight-knit community where they often encourage one another along. It's not just the presence of black artists that has increased at ABMB. There are more black collectors, dealers, art advisers, curators and celebrities making the scene. Not only did Will Smith make it to ABMB, but P. Diddy was also there, throwing parties and, as he said while in the convention center, "taking it all in." Pharrell Williams was there headlining several events and trying to add to his art collection. The N.E.R.D. front man was disappointed to find out that something he wanted had already sold. When asked about being a bona fide collector among peers who don't all follow his lead, the entertainer said, "Art is an acquired taste." That appetite has put him at the nexus of music and art, and he has collaborated with Takashi Murakami as well as other notable fine artists. Nas, Solange Knowles and Naomi Campbell also participated in various side events during the week. Art Basel Miami Beach 2011 Photos: Black Art The exhibition, which ran Dec. 1-4, 2011, showcased more than 2,000 artists, including these black talents. LOADING GALLERY...

Keep thy tongue from evil,
and thy lips from speaking guile.
Psalm 34:14
My daughter and I have been memorizing Psalm 34 and this verse stood out to me. I was thinking, what would it be like if every member of my church had every word they spoke recorded for a whole month? I know if my words were recorded for a month, I'd have much to apologize for and to be ashamed of.
There is SO MUCH in the Bible about the tongue. James says,"the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity" and "the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison." These are STRONG words spoken about such a little body part!
When the Bible describes how Christian's should conduct themselves, it tells us to have "sound speech, that cannot be condemned;" Now if we are supposed to watch what we say, should we not also conclude that we are to watch what we hear?
What about what you hear on television, radio, or at the gossip session down at your local church? Matthew chapter four says to "take heed what you hear". As Christians, we are to heed the warnings in the Word of God. (By the way, that's a good word study. Look up everywhere you see "take heed" in God's Book.) If you want to save yourself some grief, "Let your speech be alway with grace".

Shanghai's European Suburbs
Chinese urban planners are building new towns with a foreign flair, each mimicking architecture from Europe's storied cities
- By Rachel Kaufman
- Smithsonian.com, June 10, 2010
(Tong Lam)
A statue of a panda shares space in an empty public square with a statue of Winston Churchill. "You'd never guess that anyone expected it to be a livable community," said Sara Farina, an expat living near Thames Town.
The town also boasts a fish and chip shop copied from one in Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK; the owner of the original told the Daily Telegraph that "We are the only fish and chip shop next to a pub on a river mouth in England. And they have given it the same front and back, in an identical position but on the mouth of the Yangtse." The developers replied that there was no law in China forbidding imitating a building, and besides, a nearby suburb had just built a replica of the White House.
Thames Town, which despite being so far away from downtown Shanghai that the few residents here are all academics working at the nearby universities, is ranked third on a "hot places to hang out" list on dianping.com, a Chinese rating site similar to Yelp.

Where are the people? nice concept but you need to have people, activities, atmosphere, children's activities, things they want to buy or do. Otherwise you have a ghost town.
Posted by aclowe01 on October 27,2011 | 02:50 PM
Right. I agree with most of the points. Details and nature resource, scenes are all different. Most important point is no culture ground for it at the moment. Therefore, it is hard to build a real european town in china. However, as a project architect, no matter how I persuade them to stop copy european towns in china, company would still like to do so. Anyone has any suggestions. I need help to do it as I have to develop a european town.
Here is my msn: email@example.com...email me or msn me. I would love to be your audience.

Most of these buildings are cheaply built and poorly designed for the climate they are in.
Posted by Sparks on January 23,2011 | 07:10 AM
Unfortunately in Shanghai,in some areas newly developed,kitsch reigns supreme in my eye from what I have witnessed. British Town is a classic example of something dreamed up but no-one wants to reside there;it is way too fake and disneylandish.Where only honeymooners go to get a backdrop photograph and vanish. I would like to believe that these themed areas would be maintained,but knowing Shanghai as I do,I know that they won't.

Sometimes we need to take a step away for a while and just "Live".
Live without any kind of social media or documentation, other than a digital camera to capture every memory to share when we return.
No, I am not giving up blogging. It's become too much a part of my life.
I am, however, "unplugging" for a week while my family and I vacation on my favorite happy island.
I cannot wait to get on that beach!
Although I would love to blog about my daily excursions, dining destinations and night time festivities, which I know I will have the urge to do, I instead want to focus on being in the moment.
Snapping pictures, swimming in the clear blue water, sitting at the dock bar, and overall, enjoying every single second of my time away.
No social media. No interruptions.
Just me, my family, tropical drinks and the hot Aruban sun.
I promise to take plenty of pictures to share with you when I get back.
And as always, have a safe, happy and healthy end of April.
Te aworo!!! (that means "see you later" in Papiamento)

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
Smells a bit like coconut to me. Does quite well on my head; leaves the hair very clean and smooth. Did not work very well to remove oil from my beard, I think it's too gentle for that.
I really like using this conditioning Shampoo by TOWELDRY. I used it about twice a week and it kept my hair very soft and manageable. It also has a great smell.
I have a deal with my head that won't let me use most shampoos, so I could never buy this, only use the sample to test it. It was shampoo. It dried out my hair quite a bit. It smelled fine. My hair was poofy. No bueno.
This is just ok shampoo. The smell is not all that great but not terrible. It's not terrible but it's nothing special. It works but I have found better products for the price.
I liked that it was something new but I didn't think it unruled and moisturized my hair the way my routine one does. My hair is thick/curly-wavy hair so it did do some justice but the routine one won this round of softness and frizz-less.
This shampoo makes my hair manageable (not an easy feat). It also has a great smell to go along. I enjoyed this product.
I sampled this product, and honestly the container was so small that I did not even get a good idea of the sense of two washes. I did like it the one time I did use it. I'm a big fan of their other product though.
seems I had to use a lot more than I normally would have.. after the first treatment, my hair still felt dirty.. washed again, with little improvement.. back to my normal brand
I rarely use shampoo/conditioner combos, but this is a great one. Love how thick the product is, and it smells great to boot. brought the sample with me on a trip and it worked better than any of the hotel samples.
I liked the smell of it but the product that I use was still coated through my hair. I was happy to get this because I wanted a better shampoo but this didn't cut it.

Monday, April 27, 2009, 10:35 PM - Understanding the CA WC system
Tuesday (tomorrow) April 28 the Department of Insurance holds a hearing on workers' comp rates.Injured workers and labor activists are welcome to attend the meeting.
The hearing, slated to start at 10 am in the 22nd Floor Department of Insurance hearing room at 45 Fremont St. in San Francisco, is in response to the WCIRB's recommendation of a large price increase for comp insurance. The recommended increase is now a whopping 23.7%.
With his gubernatorial campaign sputtering (low in the early polls and lots of campaign staff turnover), the comp pricing issue is a high profile assignment for Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner. Comp costs have been an ongoing concern in the business community, particularly in a tight economy. Politically the issue is a hot potato; how that is handled could prove to be an opportunity or a liability for Poizner. You can see my recent blog on that, "Inside Poizner's Head") by clicking here:
http://workerscompzone.com/index.php?en ... 318-224325
The Insurance Commissioner has no ultimate control over comp pricing.
He can accept the WCIRB recommendations or reject them and propose other price targets, but these are not mandatory. But the WCIRB/Department of Insurance rate filing process has great significance politically.
Poizner has criticized WCIRB forecasting in the past. And he's been willing to reject WCIRB recommendations.
In any event, it's pretty much all show. The pure premium rate that is set by Poizner is not binding on carriers Some will price their comp business below the pure premium rate and some may price it higher.
But the PR symbolism is important.
If Poizner accepts the large rate increase recommended by the WCIRB, the signal is that all is not well in comp. Injured workers' and their advocates know that, but employers and the public have been led to believe that the 2003/2004 reforms "fixed" the system.
Given the size of the WCIRB recommended rate increase, the press and the business community will demand to know what has occurred. Were the reforms oversold? Did the reforms result in artificial savings? Should employers accept that higher comp costs are simply inevitable? Is it possible to inocculate the comp system against medical inflation which is ravaging our healthcare system generally?
I don't expect any mind-bending epiphany tomorrow on the issue of why medical costs appear to be rising. That's complicated and probably demands more study data than the WCIRB has developed. Nor do I expect anything much on employer profits and broker fees. Poizner has shown no willingness to take on the broker community or carrier profits.
Recent past hearings have been notable for concern over the rising portion of comp premiums spent on loss adjustment expenses, i.e. insurer overhead expenses.
But it's clear that Poizner's department can blame permanent disability for only a small portion of any projected increase in costs. Even if the Almaraz/Guzman decisions went into effect, the WCIRB's figures project these to be responsible for only around 1/4 of the recommended premium increase.
Stay tuned.

"Meatball justice". A "MASH unit". A "subbasement of the legal world"."Forget about personal. They don't think of you as a person. They think of you as a file with a dollar sign on it. They don't care if you can't put food on the table or put braces on your daughter. You're thinking of this logically. I stopped thinking that way a long time ago. This is comp."
Sounds like a day at the Los Angeles WCAB or one of many other California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board district offices?
Could be. But these quotes are from this week's New York Times 3-part series on the state of New York's workers' comp system (links to the articles are at the bottom of this blog post)
Written by N.R. Kleinfield and Steven Greenhouse, the series highlights a workers' comp system in great disarray.
Delays are said to be rampant. Fines against insurers for infractions are small, and many insurers ignore fines for years. Doctors shy away from treating comp cases. "Trials" where the worker barely gets a chance to speak. Hack doctors who tailor their opinions to please the hand that feeds them. Workers whose lives are upended by the economic and social fallout from their injuries. Claims of fraud which are hard to quantify.
Recognize any of these as themes in the California workers' comp system?
But as bad as aspects of the system are here in California, the series paints a picture of an even more decrepit New York system. At least here in California we have what is-for the most part- a very able and concientious applicant attorney bar that seeks to advance the interests of disabled workers.
Read the series and compare the systems for yourself.
For years New York has had a system that was among the most expensive for business and yet stingiest for workers. Some changes were enacted under Elliot Spitzer before his call-girl debacle. But New York has a long way to go.
Thanks to the Times for doing such an in-depth investigation. Unfortunately, with newsroom staffs shrinking and the survival of many newspapers in doubt, this is the kind of piece that we may be seeing less and less of.
As a blogger, I strive to be fair and accurate (readers are invited to kick my butt if I get it wrong), but the blogosphere will never be able to do the kind of sustained muckraking that is evident in these articles:

Monday, March 16, 2009, 10:28 PM - Understanding the CA WC system
A recurring problem in workers' comp is tardy QME or AME reports.Some doctors are habitually slow in sending out QME/AME reports. This may be due to a variety of reasons. Some QMEs are simply chronically overbooked. The doctor may have fallen behind years ago and never, ever manages to catch up.
Other QMEs may be slow in sending out reports because they have problems with their transcription service or a nurse who does medical record summaries for them. Some may be slow because they evaluate under the umbrella of a medical group that does all the scheduling, transcription and editing, so that delays are built into the process of the umbrella medical group.
Perhaps the report was ready for signature weeks ago, but the doctor travels among various examining locations and is only in the home office occasionally to read and sign the report.
And some cases are just plain ultra-complicated, requiring huge amounts of document reviews (for example, some psychiatric claims) or requiring independent research on current medical literature (for example, some occupational disease claims).
Over the years, I've found that both the applicant and defense bar became inured to slow reports. The lawyers often stoically accepted this as something that was inevitable with certain QME examiners. With AMEs, neither applicant or defense lawyers wanted to push too hard for fear that they would piss off the examining doctor.
But slow reports cause problems. The parties may be waiting on the QME or AME to comment on the necessity of various treatments. The worker may be suffering and the treating doctor in limbo until the QME's report is rendered.
A slow report may cause an insurer to pay temporary disability longer than it would otherwise have paid. Or where the parties were looking for guidance on work restrictions, a slow report may delay a decision on return to work, preventing the worker from earning a living.
If the QME thinks the worker can return to work but that opinion is not contemporaneously communicated to the worker, employer and carrier, it's unlikely that the workers' comp judge will honor a later argument that there was a TD overpayment. Case law does not favor claimed credits based on retrospective medical determinations. In a significant case several years ago, Mark Borges vs. WCAB, the physician had not communicated the return to work release to the worker:
http://www.grayandprouty.com/articles/B ... v.WCAB.pdf
I've often seen delayed reports that were worthless because the worker's treatment circumstances had changed radically between the date of exam and time the report was signed and mailed.
But the times, they are a changin'.
The Division of Workers' Compensation is getting tougher with the doctors.
That was the message in a presentation at last week's 16th Annual DWC Confernece in Oakland. Presenting a seminar on QME regulations was Suzanne Honor-Vangerov, Manager of the DWC Medical Unit, and Suzanne Marria, attorney with the DEC Legal Unit.
Honor and Marria noted (citing Labor Code 4062.5 and 8 CCR 38(a)) that reports are due 30 days from the date the exam commenced, unless an extension was approved by the DWC Medical Director. This applies to panel QMEs and AMEs.
If a doctor needs an extension, the doctor must now file a request for extension on QME Form 112 at least five days before the end of the 30 day period. The DWC can grant an extension of 15 days in extraordinary circumstances.
In the past I've seen very few QMEs who took these timelines seriously. I can think of only a handful of QMEs who bothered to request extensions. In the past, many QMEs rendered the report when they were ready to do so, even if it took two, three, even four months in some cases.
Honor noted that the fact that the parties did not forward the medical records to the QME or AME is NOT grounds for an extension.
If the DWC Medical Director denies an extension, the parties can use QME Form 113 to indicate whether they will accept the late report or whether they will request a new evaluator.
Honor noted that the DWC is keeping track of late reports. Apparently a data base of late reports is being kept, even though the parties may have waived an objection. Honor indicated that more than 3 late reports in a year may be grounds for QME discipline.
One option for QMEs who are having trouble filing timely reports?
Honor indicated that they could "make themselves unavailable" by notifying the DWC that they request to be taken off the active QME list while they catch up for a while.
QMEs may be ignoring these regs at their peril. It appears the DWC is taking tardy reports much more seriously. And I've already had a handful of cases where my opposing counsel objected to the late report and requested a replacement panel. In that case there's a good chance that the examiner (an AME) will not be paid for the exam and report.
The times they are a changin'.

Yikes! It's coming.No, it's not a rampaging Creature from the Black Lagoon or some unknown asteroid intersecting with our path. Nothing that big.
But it is coming.....MMSEA.
The federal Medicare, Medicaid SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 is coming to California workers' comp soon.
Insurers may soon become the "CMS police", standing watch for Medicare's interests in comp proceedings.
Today at the annual DWC conference in Oakland, Southern California applicants attorney Robert Rassp presented a talk on the workers comp/Social Security interface. Rassp is an excellent speaker who manages to convey concepts with both precision and humor.
For at least a decade, insurers and applicant attorneys have been required to consider Medicare's interests when settling cases where the worker was either on Medicare or met certain standards for imminent eligibility. Medicare "set-asides" have been common in cases where the worker wanted to cash out medical treatment by a compromise and release. The "Medicare set-aside" concept is to allocate part of the settlement proceeds into a self-administered fund that is to be spent by the worker on his/her own treatment. Only after exhaustion of that "set aside" will the worker be free to submit work related treatment bills to Medicare.
But MMSEA now imposes heavy reporting requirements on insurers.
Rassp noted an important website dealing with insurer MMSEA obligations:
Interested parties should keep checking that site for updates from the Department of Health Services. Implementation of the law is now in the hands of the new Obama folks.
The details of MMSEA reporting are still being developed, but insurers will soon be required to register and report to Medicare. All claims must be reported where the injured worker is or was a Medicare beneficiary.
Even if the claim was resolved without an award of future medical treatment, the report must be filed.
Quarterly reports must be issued for all payments to Medicare beneficiaries where there is ongoing responsibility for medical payments, i.e. future medical.
These reports will be filed electronically.
By a date in 2010, claims administrators will be required to identify injured workers who have future medical treatment awards who are Medicare beneficiaries. Claims administrators will be required to monitor injured workers who are not Medicare beneficiaries at the time of settlement or award with future medical who become Medicare beneficiaries prior to termination of medical coverage,
If you're a carrier you'd probably rather wrestle with the Creature from the Black Lagoon than fret over how to comply with MMSEA.
Claimants will undoubtedly experience greater focus on the status of their Social Security/Medicare eligibility. Just how will carriers get this information? Questionaires?
And if claimants are evasive or do not respond? A deposition?
I represent claimants in Social Security Disability hearings. But I've found that few claimants understand the rules as to when they become Medicare entitled.
As Rassp noted today, for SSD recipients, Medicare entitlement begins 24 months after SSD entitlement date. But the SSD entitlement date is not the same as the first date the worker stopped working. That's because there is a 5 month waiting requirement before SSD entitlement.
The worker can not collect SSD for the first 5 months after onset of the disability. And the 24 months for Medicare entitlement does not begin to run until the expiration of the 5 month waiting period.
Rassp also noted that:
-under MMSEA inactive cases may still be reopened for future medical treatment so there is an on-going requirement to report and the claims administrator can not file a termination of medical treatment report
-payments under Labor Code 5402(c), i.e. pre-denial medical payments up to $10k, must be reported if the worker is a Medicare beneficiary even if the treatment is terminated and the claim denied
-failure to report can result in fines of $1,000 per day
Carriers will ignore all of this at their peril. Needed something else to do in your spare time?
At least there is no asteroid in our path.

Wednesday, February 25, 2009, 09:23 PM - Understanding the CA WC system
Daddy, how was your day at work?Great day at the bagel shop, son. I got promoted today. Now I'm the Senior VP of dough making!
Sounds like a Saturday Night Live skit. But it's not.
That's an example of what has been going on in a scam some have devised to avoid having California workers' comp coverage.
Pic-A-Bagel, based in San Diego, refused to pay the senior VP of dough maker's injury claim. The worker had asked to become a corporate officer and had no real ownership interest in the franchise. Pic-A-Pay lost at the WCAB, which rejected its ruse.
The theory: make everyone a corporate officer. Even workers in service jobs such as restaurants, roofing, security, and housekeeping. Avoid having to pay comp premiums. Wrap yourself in purple prose about protecting the viability of small business.
VP of bottle washing. Controller of ticket taking. Director of gutter cleaning.
The folks who thunk this up are not named John Belushi, Tina Fey and Eddie Murphy.
Dimwits or sharks? Whatever your take on them, they are a San Diego firm called ConAPA. Here's their website:
and here:
Attorney General Jerry Brown has now filed a lawsuit against ConAPA, seeking a permanent injunction and $300,000 in fines.
The jig is coming to an end.
Here's the LA Times piece on the lawsuit:

It's so perty! I want want one (the white led version), but it's also so expensive :/ 2000dpi version with lower price tag would be nice and less buttons and without memory, if that makes it cheaper Mice prices don't even go down like other computer stuff and I don't play that much FPS:es, but x-mas is coming, though a new GFX card will kill Lachesis dreams. Would probably fit my hand really well, as I now have a huge cap under the tail of the mouse, because of wrist rest.
SO is this mouse basically another copperhead? <----someone answer that my copperhead died on sunday...
Sort of, but the damn thing is ugly and the ergonomics are horrendous. I also tried this mouse out at CompUSA and it hurt my hand.
I just want something better then the crappy deathadder, and so my friend is buying this for me today I just need another copperhead, and I HEAR that this is a good one,lol
Is it so hard to get the DA or this engine in the body of an MX518 w/ a good tilt wheel?!?! Thanks for saving me a $ Fred.
does the logo where your palm sits light up? I think that looks ugly too, but its not like you look at your mouse
I stopped having interested when I realised they went back to lasers... meh, after top end optical, no thanks.
i was looking at this at BB today its nice but its really oddly shaped even tho its left/right handed it don't feel comfortable in either
Compatibility with non-windows ..... How does the Razor products perform on other platforms ? I mean - I would really like to use their products on games like UT3 for Linux or WOP or ET - especially the macrocapabilities. Live long and prosper... Peter Jespersen
man i attempted to buy one of these mouses but the only place in Australia i could find it for a fairly ok'ish priced kept delaying my order after the 2nd delay i asked for my money back.. and now theres a delay on my refund wtf?
Not a bad looking mouse but not a possibility for me to get it as i purchased a DA only 6 months ago AND I am pretty sure this mouse would not be comfortable for my hands. I am not a fingertip mouse user. The only thing I really really would want from this mouse for my DA is the DPI buttons. If anyone from Razor reads this I would love it if you revised te DA design to include the DPI buttons and let everyone with a first generation DA trade there's in for one at no charge... Sigh I know its not gonna happen but its nice to dream. And 4000 DPI seems a wee bit excessive, one cup of coffee and the mouse would be nigh unusable at that high a sensitivity. Well for me anyways.
On a little side note I really think your Reviews are done very well and are very objective. I would love to see a review of the Razer Lycosa Keyboard it probably won't happen before I get one (There is still a chance I will get one for X-mas... lots of payment and shipping problems though.) Thanks again awesome work.
Just recieved my new lachesis --its going back This is an awesome looking mouse with good software but the ergonomics are worse than bad.The side buttons are hard to feel out on the fly and even harder to push.If you are right handed forget about the two side buttons on the right---inaccessable,and vice-versa.The side buttons are so hard to push you have to physically hold the mouse in place from the other side,also you have to krinkle your the thumb(I cant get mine to)to access the inside -side button as well as krinkleing your finger(almost impossible)to access the dpi buttons.Since the scroll wheel has no side-to-side switches with the two side switches inaccessable that leaves you seven buttons 4 of which are almost impossible to access quickly.I am so disappointed, I anxiously waited 16 days for delivery for this.
Just went to best buy and got a G9 I had to,couldn't wait any longer to get my game back on!lol Set up the "9" and away I went haven't even tweaked it yet and hitting second and third place.Man I hate to say but for me I guess the G9 was what I was lookin 4.I know I'm goin to sound like I work 4 logitech -lol-but this thing has BIG feet and they went back to the wieghts(I didn't even know that till I read the box)It has 2 different detatchable palm grips---buttons line right up.It's a dream.The one thing is (I guess there are a couple)the DPI buttons,they r flush with the left click button---logitech how could u get so close to perfect and miss it with that?!!It's probably the best spot but they should have made each side of the button(+/-)a little higher.The other is the setpoint 5.0 --DOS, compared to the Razer software.They do have a "tell us what we can do better"suggestion box -(at least somebody in software was thinkin)which tells me its beta and i'm the pig.If you can work the buttons on the LECHESIS It would be the best mouse hands down,but I just don't see it happenin,I'm gonna stick with the "9".
I've had my Lachesis for about 2 weeks now. I purchased it to replace my worn out Copperhead. I'd have to say I'm starting to like this one better them my copperhead in both performance and feel. Firstly, I'm left handed. So as you are all well aware, there a VERY few GOOD mice out there for left handed gamers. to many of the pro mice are right hand ergo only. Pro's 1) speed, this mouse is FAST. At a full 4000 DPI it responds almost like it's got ESP. I mean It takes about an inch for a full 360 degree spin in CoD4. My overall wrist movement in FPS games has reduced a lot. 2) Buttons work well with my hand. I have read a lot of the reviews that complain about this mouses fit in the hand. I think this is very subjective as everyone has different sized hands. I have a nice firm hold on the mouse and my thumb is fully able to press the right side buttons without needing to hold the mouse down. I also use the two left side buttons for my DPI setting changes, Since I do not do a LOT of DPI changing I use the two buttons my hand simply will not let me depress due to their placement in regards to my pinky. This does not bother me overmuch as I still have a total of 7 buttons plus the forward and back scroll that I can bind to in game. The two new top buttons just behind the scroll wheel are easy to depress and use while madly dashing around a game map. 3) the configuration tool has more options added in for button configuration. Including some basic per program button configs. Take this feature along with the profiles and you have a mouse you can customize for every game you play. This has made me very happy. Con's 1) this mouse currently has the minor issue of drifting at low movement rates. You do not notice this when gaming, but in windows the mouse pointer will jump a tad erratically. This is due to the extreme sensitivity of the laser. According to the Razer web site this small issue is being addressed in the next firmware+driver pack that is supposed to be coming out shortly. 2) The super sensitivity takes a bit of getting used to...not really a Con, but for some, if you do not have the patience to practice with it, you may find yourself getting frustrated and simply returning to the lower resolutions. Now the mouse work perfectly at lower resolutions and at 2000 DPI it reacts identically to the copperhead. In Conclusion, if you have a hand that fits this mouse, there is really nothing nicer to use. (I have a somewhat slender hand with a full length of about 7". My hand is not small by any means, but it is definitely not beefy.) It has a LOT of features and options available for customizing it to your needs. Just be willing to get used to it. try and keep your mind open and your frustration in check, as once you do get the hang of it, it's poetry in motion. O. BTW: Regarding the reviewers concern with the feet. The material used is the SAME as that used on the copperhead. It is definitely softer then most, but it has a much nicer glide feel than many mice. As for it's durability, use it on a smoother surfaced mouse pad. I found that with the copperhead the smooth mouse pads almost didn't wear on the feet were the rougher pads tend to. The same experience is showing with the Lachesis as well. I have been playing a LOT over the last couple weeks and there is no noticable wear. I use a Func 1030 Surface (smooth) mouse pad.
Why a 9.2? It has a great sensor but horrible ergonomics, how comfortable your mouse is the most important thing above all else. Ive used the diamondback, krait, and deathadder I guess all ok sensors but I always stick with my mx518 since it doesn't destroy my hand just holding it for 45 mins. Don't become obsessed with numbers and things because when you just play and don't worry about anything you don't notice a difference. Also 90% of gamers play on a resolution of 1024x768 or lower, dpi gives you no benefit at lower resolutions, and if you did raise your resolution you get horrible refresh rates so theres no purpose in raising your resolution to get a benefit. Unless you have a LCD, which you would be better off spent getting a CRT somewhere. Get a Microsoft Wheel Optical 1.1 on newegg for $10. (Btw all the razer mouse I have tried are the same except the DA(DA just sluggish and uncomfortable), they give you no palm support its just a very uncomfortable feeling to hold, and you can't afford to think about your mouse in the back of your mind when playing a game).
Ergonomics? In a flipping mouse? Perhaps if we were talking Porches or love-seats,..but a mouse? We need a new term, Hand-o-nomicks I have had EVERY high end mouse for the past 3 years (not bragging here folks, just stating the facts) and they all to a little bit of getting used to. I received this mouse in question, about 90 days ago and I can safely say, this is the most accurate mouse I have owned. Yes, I had to sort of re-learn to use just my fingers, but the results in my fragging abilities online were nothing short of amazing. I received the Lycosa keyboard for fathers day and the Lachesis for my birthday. These 2 items were the FIRST experience I have had with Razer and I am not disappointed.
just got this mouse and i have to say, awesome. great engine and features, and as for the feel, i think its very unique and perfect if it floats your boat, and i gotta tell you, my boat is a floatin'
Yes, agreed, like going from a car to a motorcycle,..takes a little getting used to. And the optics are amazing. More accurate than my G5, not by much, but it is.
Thought about getting one when my DeathAdder died. I RMA'd it back to Razer and they sent me 2 DeathAdder's. I love the Adder's...

World Affairs Journal, November/December 2011
November 7, 2011
by Richard Weitz
The disaster at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant that began on March 11th has again underscored both the importance and the limited capabilities of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). It will cost billions of dollars to stabilize the plant, close it down, decommission the six reactors, and mitigate the radioactive contamination. While overseeing this difficult process and dealing with safety challenges of the other four hundred and forty aging reactors around the world (as well as the dozens of new ones under construction, mostly in China), the IAEA will continue to experience significant difficulty in pursuing an even more vital matter: dealing with the continued nuclear weapons activities of rogue states. The agency's response to these two threats of nuclear proliferation and safety has been ineffectual and shows the need to reform the organization's global safety and emergency networks and strengthen its nonproliferation activities.
The roles, authorities, and effectiveness of the IAEA have become inseparable from those of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The five countries possessing nuclear weapons when the treaty was ratified—Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States—have committed to limiting their nuclear assistance to nonnuclear weapons states (NNWS) to nonmilitary applications and to reducing and eventually eliminating their own nuclear weapons.
In exchange for eligibility to receive foreign civilian nuclear assistance, the NNWS agree to allow the IAEA to monitor their nuclear programs and safeguard their nuclear materials in order to verify that they are not being used illicitly for military purposes. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty empowers the IAEA to verify allegations that any nonnuclear weapons states that are parties to the NPT might be violating its provisions. The IAEA's thirty-five-nation Board of Governors can then refer the case to the UN Security Council, which can impose sanctions and adopt other measures to enforce compliance with the NPT.
Revelations after the end of the Cold War made clear that the IAEA's traditional safeguard system needed to be strengthened for the agency to achieve its nonproliferation objectives. The "inventory checklist model" in which the agency's inspectors monitored and inspected declared nuclear activities could not cope with secret nuclear programs at undeclared sites. In particular, inspectors found after the 1990–1991 Persian Gulf War that the Iraqi government under Saddam Hussein had been conducting a covert nuclear weapons program in parallel with its civilian nuclear research and energy programs, which had been declared to the IAEA and were being monitored. In response, the Board of Governors approved a new "Model Additional Protocol" as a voluntary supplement to the traditional comprehensive safeguards agreement that requires participating governments to declare more information to the IAEA and allow the agency more extensive access and inspection privileges at sites where undeclared nuclear activities may occur.

Behind the scenes with Larry King, Stephen A. Smith, and Skip Bayless: King and Smith compare watches, Bayless takes forever to get his makeup, King really misses newspapers. [Time]
You're looking at a very unique piece of video, dug up by Azaz of the Knicks FanBlog. It's from the taping of Stephen A. Smith's ESPN interview with Dwight Howard this weekend, but for whatever reason, one Youtube user was able to tune in to the satellite feed and record the taping. It's basically Smith and Howard…
Well, ESPN2 technically. But yeah, this is happening on Monday:
Scandal! ESPN just aired its Best Of First Take clip show, which included a particularly fart-y piece of footage
After weeks of increasing criticism of ESPN's less-than-comprehensive hockey coverage, the NHL finally made SportsCenter. After a 19-0-3 start, a record, the Chicago Blackhawks have finally become a "sports" thing instead of a hockey thing. But be careful what you wish for: on this morning's SportsCenter, the…
Rob Parker's suspension for asking if Robert Griffin III was a "brother or a cornball brother" ends in a week
After taking a week to think about it, ESPN has hit Rob Parker with a 30-day suspension for his "brother or cornball brother?"
Yes, amazingly, today's cringe-inducing, bang-your-ahead-against-the-wall moment from First Take does not come from Skip Bayless. It comes from Rob Parker, who is First Take's new Saturday host! He's taking to the role perfectly.
In October, Doug Gottlieb, a radio host and basketball analyst who'd decamped for CBS the previous month after nine years with ESPN, went on The Dan Patrick Show and dropped something of a truth bomb
On Thursday morning's First Take, Stephen A. Smith expressed his disbelief that Kobe Bryant would miss time with an injury by saying "nigga, please." This was not a thing he should have said on TV, yet he did. It was barely noticeable, but at least one person noticed, uploaded the video, and certain folks began…
The following is excerpted from a comment
Earlier today, The Onion posted a rather harmless, totally fictional article entitled, "Stephen A. Smith Thinking Son Is Finally Ready For The Sex Argument." This wouldn't normally be news; but when Stephen A. Smith finds it, thinks it is a real article, and yells about it on Twitter? Yes, then it is news.
This is presumably in reference to something Stephen A. Smith predicted during First Take today, regarding the Packers defeating the Bears on Thursday Night Football. I hope so, because this video message, when considered in any other context, is honest-to-God nightmare fuel. See you in the morning, Skip!
It's no secret we're loath to feature the programming on ESPN's First Take, mostly because we value our remaining brain cells enough to not risk obliterating them by watching the ratings-deprived shout-fest
This has been the working theory: ESPN2's First Take is bad for the soul
Readers send us tips about ESPN2 offal vomitorium First Take regularly, but we're loath to provide the program any more attention than it already has (and, valuing our sanity, avoid watching it ourselves). So we thank Sports Illustrated's Richard Deitsch for the head's up on this brief technical glitch that took…
While I'm hesitant to praise ESPN First Take blowhard Stephen A. Smith for anything, an exception can be made for moments of distinguished valor—or at least doing something every single one of us has wanted to do on multiple occasions, like flipping Skip Bayless the bird. Last week Terrell Suggs called Bayless a…

What is Project Lemonade and why is there a need for it?
Project Lemonade is a non-profit working to supply free clothes to over 2,000 foster children living in Multnomah County. Unfortunately, the Department of Human Services no longer has money in their budget to provide clothing to foster children. The Project Lemonade store (located in the Pearl District) will open this summer from August 20th - September 7th, just in time for foster children to get some new clothes for school, helping to boost their confidence as they head back this fall. Project Lemonade hopes this small effort will help our foster children feel special and loved, creating higher self esteem, which will in turn help the community as a whole.
What do we need from community members / how can you help?
We are looking to our community to help by donating new and nearly new clothing, shoes and accessories for children ages 5-20. We would accept financial donations, which will go towards filling gaps, and flushing out areas of the store that may need more bulk. Excess funds will go towards making Project Lemonade a permanent part of Multnomah County.
Where can you make donations or drop off donations?
You can drop off any donations at the Project Lemonade store (1015 NW Lovejoy) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1:00pm - 4:00pm. Additionally there are four Parr Lumber locations in Portland that currently act as drop off locations with clearly marked Project Lemonade bins.
Who is currently supporting Project Lemonade?
We have a power committee (all women!) who have garnered sponsorships and support from City Commissioner Dan Saltzman, Nike, Chase Bank, Agave Denim, Evolution Hair Design, Parr Lumber, Mario's, Grand and Benedict, R & H Construction, Wells Fargo Insurance Services and many more.
If Project Lemonade is an organization that you feel is worthy of some air time on KINK we would be most appreciative.
I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 503.422.0949

LOWVILLE The 10th annual Snirt Run drew a slightly smaller crowd of ATV enthusiasts than last year, with approximately 3,120 registered participants.
Thats down about 200, said Gary R. Stinson, president of the Barnes Corners Sno-Pals snowmobile club. I think the weather and the snow had a lot to with it.
Though the weather may have attracted a smaller than anticipated crowd, it created safer riding conditions for the all-terrain vehicle drivers.
It kept the speeds down, Mr. Stinson said.
One ATV accident was reported about 2:30 p.m. in the vicinity of Gardner and Borkowski roads on the Lowville-Martinsburg line.
One person suffered undisclosed injuries.
Two incidents of property damage were reported, according to Lewis County Sheriffs Deputy Michael K. Leviker.

Deloitte have released their annual review of football finance with a tasty infographic (see below). This shows positive revenue growth for the Premier League (+12% in 2010/2011) and a whopping growth of annual revenues from £170m to £2271m since 1992. Unsurprisingly, successful clubs are the ones who spend more on player wages.
Interestingly, annual investment in stadia and facilities equalled £15m for Premiership and Championship clubs (2010/2011). Lets hope clubs are making the most of that investment to generate revenue from their stadia!
If you are interested in finding out how Makemedia could help you to generate revenues from digital innovation and best promote your stadia with products such as Stadium Explorer please get in touch on 0845 107 8777 or email@example.com.

Beauty Confidential: Alexandra Wilkis Wilson
Gilt Groupe has changed the way we shop. So, it only makes sense that behind the brand stand some seriously well-heeled dames. Here, we get a sneak peek into the life of one of the founders.
By Lizzie Dunlap
Meet Alexandra
Alexandra lives in NYC with her husband and her baby boy. Before the age of 35, she has already helped launch (at least) one billion-dollar business, which happens to have rewritten the rules of fashion. Spending an afternoon in her abode, we found out that this brainy beauty (she speaks five languages!) is more than just your average jet setter. She's a dedicated mom, wife, and style maven in her own right, too.
Her Entry Way
"My husband and I went to Bali on our honeymoon," explains Wilson about the Indonesian accents sprinkled around her Park Avenue pad. "We came back with 24 pieces of furniture and a little bit of art. Teak wood is so inexpensive there, that I sat down with a man one day and started designing pieces. The way some of the things turned out is not how I envisioned them, but they fit our old apartment. I always knew that if something didn't work, we could give it to my brother!"
Her Family
"These are all photos of our familymy four grandparents and my husband's parents on their wedding day," explains Wilson of the framed photographs in her living room. "Our apartment has a mix of old and new items. Even though we just relaunched Gilt Home, all employees, including myself, can't shop early and can't use their discount until a sale's been live for six hours. Like anyone, I go through waves as a customer. Last night, I stayed up buying gardenia candles to give as hostess gifts."
Her Philanthropic Side
"We have a lot of Asian art," she notes about a neon painting near a giant window. "My husband bought this at an auction to raise money for Japanese tsunami relief. We do business there, and it was so sad to hear their stories after the disaster."
Her Books and Papers
"I actually just bought the McQueen book," Wilson says as she looks at an impressive collection of coffee table tomes stacked in a large bookcase. "Most of the others are from friends. I spent a semester abroad in Paris during college and wrote a paper on decadence and dandyism." As for the cards? "I love handwritten notes and collect boxes of stationery."
Her Trinkets
"I have to keep a lot of things away from my son, or else he might throw them," Wilson says matter-of-factly when asked about the blue polka-dotted piggy bank on her bureau. "The Lladro (right) was actually a wedding gift from my godmother. My mother's from Cuba, but a lot of her family is from Spain. We decided to paint the walls in the bedroom blue when we moved in a year ago, because I read somewhere that it would soothing."
Her Hostess Goodies
"We try to have friends over about once a month," she continues as she walks past an elegant, old-school bar near the dining room. "Tonight, a friend of mine who's Nicaraguan is catering. Everything is delicious and bite-sized, which is great because we don't have the space to do a seated dinner for 20 people."
Her Color
"I love orange," Wilson explains as she adjusts a floral arrangement. "I collect Hermès scarves, and the flowers are for dinner tonight."
Her Stash
"I've always loved Bobbi Brown and Dior, but ever since Gilt started selling beauty products, I've bought DDF skincare items, Oscar Blandi dry shampoo, even tanning towelettes," she says. "The Marc Jacobs perfume is probably my favorite, but I still have a few Bulgari ones from when I used to work there."
Her Travels
"We bought the fish and spices at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul," Wilson says with a smile about the gilded fish painting in her hallway and her kitchen spices. "The leaf is gold-dipped and there's a message written into the drawing. Funnily enough, the leaves are supposed to be from West Palm Beach. Who goes to Turkey to get a leaf from Florida?"
Her Cooking
"I love to cook," she says as she walks through her bright kitchen. "I grew up in New York, and traveled a lot, but spent many childhood summers in Miami. I love it there—I'm a true beach bunny."
Her Tea Cups
"I collect these when I travel," Wilson explains about the quartet of tea cups and saucers on her kitchen wall. "But now I have to keep them out of the way." As if on cue, a towheaded toddler comes barreling into the kitchen, and Wilson laughs.

So public yesterday we brought you some startling numbers on Social Security that from the -- -- About 56 million people collect benefits twenty million that's 36% -- Of the people who get these Social Security then not retired workers that the disabled.
All of the family members of deceased -- retired workers and that was in the best.
One point eight million people eliminated from the unemployment rolls in the past two years during that same time the number of people who became disabled.
-- -- -- -- -- Up one point eight million so no longer on employed one point eight million now disabled one point eight million incredible.
Joining the company -- -- -- regarding American psychologist doctor out well for the program thank you so much network and company as I don't know they now look.
Let's understand it I can get Social Security disability for a variety of mental conditions that's correct can -- get disability payments if -- side.

You can get the SS DI if you have stress and the stresses related to some sort of a depression.
Or other debilitating.
Mental illness.
And you must produce medical records so if you're saying that you have major issues with stress and are on able to work.
You have to be able to prove right.
OK so I go to a psychologist -- -- -- -- for a three month period to -- and thought that I'm stressed -- thought that.

Multivitamins — Are they the best thing for you?
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
54 comments posted
Do you take a multivitamin? Or a single vitamin, mineral, or combination supplement? If so, you are in the company of tens of millions of U.S. adults.
Why do you take them? Most people say it makes them feel healthier or they believe it will prevent chronic diseases, or colds and flu. But you may be surprised to know that what is in your bottle and on the label is not strictly regulated. And there is no system in place to collect reports of adverse affects.
Over the past few years there has been increasing evidence that multivitamins and single or combination type vitamin/mineral supplements may not provide the health benefit sought by you, the consumer. In some cases the opposite or no beneficial effects have been reported.
Alarming to think that vitamin or mineral supplements could actually cause more harm than good. An example of this is the use of beta carotene by smokers actually increased the incidence of lung cancer. This is echoed by a recent study out of the University of Washington that reports the use of multivitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E and folate did not reduce the risk of lung cancer.
It is not all bad news though; there are studies to support the use of folate (folic acid) prior to and during pregnancy in the prevention of neural tube defects in the developing fetus. And history has proven that vitamins and minerals play a critical role in our health — the reason we know about the benefits of vitamins and minerals in food is because of the major discoveries in disease prevention such as vitamin C and scurvy and thiamine, a B vitamin, and beri beri (a wasting type disease).
This may leave you wondering if those vitamin mineral supplements in your medicine cabinet are doing what they should or even worth your money.
Let's look at this way — do you eat a well balanced diet? If so, you may not need a multivitamin and if you take one as a "safety net" know that you may exceed what your body needs or can use.
Are you concerned about a chronic disease? If so, making changes in your diet and exercise habits, not smoking and following through with recommended screenings by your physician are more likely to benefit your overall health picture.
Consider your current state of health, talk to your doctor and/or dietitian, and weigh the possible benefits and risks of a multivitamin and mineral supplement for you.
To your health,

47th and East Avenue intersection open as flooding subsides
LA GRANGE AND WESTERN SPRINGS – The intersection at 47th Street and East Avenue was open Thursday afternoon after being closed in the morning following heavy storms throughout the Chicagoland area.
Three or four other roads were closed earlier in the morning, including the underpass at Ogden Avenue, but Assistant Village Manager Andrianna Peterson said all roads are now open.
"It does appear that some of the earlier flooding is receding," she said.

He had terminal cancer, but he also had a bucket list. On Tuesday, one of his last wishes was granted: 12 year old Tremaine "Trey" Sampson scored a touchdown for his school football team.
Trey has osteosarcoma, which is a rare form of bone cancer. He had his left arm amputated, but he found out on September 9th that the cancer spread to his lungs. Doctors told him they couldn't do anything more. With science not on his side, Trey turned to his love of football.
After talking with the coach of his Balch Springs Jaguars, Trey got to get the first play against their rivals, the J.L. Long Bucanneers. The players all agreed that they would not tackle Trey.
Trey tells WFAA that he was scared that his lungs wouldn't allow him to run the length of the pitch. But when the play started, and Trey started running, he just kept going, and his lungs held up.
He ran the length of the pitch and scored a touchdown. The crowd cheered for him on the bleachers.
"It felt good," he told WFAA after scoring. "I was pretty happy when I made the touchdown. There were multiple emotions. I was happy. I was sad. It was just awesome."
Video shows players from both teams swarming the young player after his touchdown.
Despite the heartbreaking news from doctors, Trey vowed to stay strong.
"I'm gonna show cancer,' he told WFAA. 'I'm gonna beat it!"
