A few weeks ago i was in Brussels for The Digital Now, the first thematic exhibition of a series produced by Cimatics, that explores relevant artifacts within the current artistic context and media art related discourse.
The first chapter in this series, 'Drones / Birds: Princes of Ubiquity', looks into autonomous technology through the lens of birds as objects reflecting our contemporary relation with technology.
The bird has long been seen as a symbol of freedom, communication, transborder mobility but also as an indicator of environmental change. However, much of the bird physical and spiritual significance has been lost on the way to and from the industrial revolution. But according to Bram Crevits, curator of 'Drones / Birds: Princes of Ubiquity', digital culture has brought birds back to the fore. Or maybe it's the birds which have forced their way into our techno-mediated world. Think Twitter of course. And birds incorporating ringtones into their repertoire so effortlessly that Richard Schneider of the NABU bird conservation centre in Germany suggested that, in the interests of ecology, mobile phone users convert their tones to pop songs which are too complex to be mimicked by the birds. Woodpeckers attacking CCTV cameras. Or confused birds trapped into the twin columns of light shot into the sky each year on September 11 in New York. The bright memorial short circuits some of the cues that birds use when they are migrating at night. And then there's drone watching as the new bird watching. And drones counting birds.
The relevance of drones -or Unmanned Arial Vehicles- in relation to birds is more than purely formal or anecdotal. Another source of inspiration for the exhibition is indeed the New Aesthetic and the focus on the ways we experience our digital condition: always on, always there. Drones have been related to this New Aesthetic debate ever since it started.
Part of the exhibition was located at the Botanique. Christoph De Boeck & Patricia Portela installed invisible birds inside the greenhouse. Sensors measure the dynamics of wind and light harvested by the plants during their photosynthetic process, and translates it into bird sounds. When there is human movement in the garden a financial algorithm (similar to the ones used in a speculation economic market) interprets the variation of the received data and transforms and remaps the natural garden soundscape to which plants seem most profitable in that split second.
However, most of the works were in a gallery hidden inside a tunnel. It took me ages and a couple of panicked phone calls to find it. The show was pretty exciting though because instead of showing only artworks and building up the usual art&tech discourse around it, the curator chose to insert the works into a broader context that included the political and the downright popular.
For example, two videos demonstrated the impact that unmanned aerial vehicles have on every day life in Pakistan.
On the one hand, a video shot by Noor Behram outside his house in North Waziristan, the footage shows a reaper drone flying over Waziristan. For more than five years, Behram has been documenting drone attacks in Pakistan's tribal areas, the hub of the CIA's remote assassination program.
Trevor Paglen interviewed Behram a while ago: "[The few places where I have been able to reach right after the attack were a terrible sight" he explains, "One such place was filled with human body parts lying around and a strong smell of burnt human flesh. Poverty and the meagre living standards of inhabitants is another common thing at the attack sites." Behram's photographs are miles away from official American reports that deny civilian casualties from drone attacks: "I have come across some horrendous visions where human body parts would be scattered around without distinction, those of children, women, and elderly."
Pop song Za Kaom Pa Stargo Stargo Drone Hamla" (My gaze is as fatal as a drone attack) shows the other hand of the spectrum, where the increasing appearance of unmanned vehicles over the skies of Pakistan (see data viz Drone war: every attack in Pakistan visualised for more details) inspires little more than the lyrics of a song:
'Drones / Birds: Princes of Ubiquity' was thus full of contrasts. One moment, you were reflecting on surveillance technologies, next you were laughing (the suitors of the frantic singer are peerless.)
I'm now going to revert to my usual "throw as many images and projects in their face" mode and leave you with a few works i've (re) discovered in the show:
Subtwitter is a free application that scans subtitle-files (.srt) of a film and replaces them with similar tweets. The application uses the original subtitle-file of a movie or series of your choice, then looks into each separate sentence of the subtitle and crawls the twittyverse for a similar tweets. The result are --sometimes absurd and sometimes witty- subtitles that consist of computationally associated tweets.
A microphone picks up and amplifies the sound of woodworms eating their way through a piece of wood. Temperature, humidity and other environmental qualities determine how the wood worms dig their tunnels and 'play' the piece of wood.
The Pussy Drones gifs trigger a new form of discourse between the webbased experience (lolzcat, memes, gifs) and historically closed systems of the patriarchal structures which control the physical world. That is to suggest drones are merely 'unmaned' cocks controlled by (finding) pussy.
In theory the democratic nature of the internet should allow everyone to create equally, controlling its code at an open root p2p level. Yet the internet net art, the very essence of the web (programming, the code structure itself) is still ruled by men and corporations who control and own it in its entirety. We are not Facebook's customers, we are their product. The web has never been a democratic medium, Mark Zuckerberg said 'There are probably 200 million people who think that Facebook is the internet.' It is easy to include the digital life is not any different than our life away from the keyboard.
David Bowen's now famous Fly Tweet sends Twitter messages based on the activities of houseflies living inside an acrylic sphere along with a computer keyboard. As a particular key is triggered by the flies, the corresponding character is entered into a Twitter text box. A message is tweeted as soon as 140 characters are reached or when a fly triggers the "enter" key.

Marcus Coates uses shamanic rituals and his knowledge of the animal world to try and solve problems faced by local (human) communities. In 2009, he visited the mayor of Holon in Israel who asked him how he should handle the problem of the violent youth in the city. Coates first consulted with the animals that he had encountered, and in particular the plover, a bird known for luring predators away from its young by pretending to be injured so as to appear as an easy target for predators. His reading of the meeting with the plover was then explained to the Mayor. According to Coates, The important thing for [Israel] as a nation is, through education, to emphasize shifting identities and an empathy with a different position. It's a fundamental position of resolution within a conflict, to be able to emphasise with your enemy or oppressor.
His solution to Holon's social ills is to teach empathy and recognise that victim status is often used as justification for violent behaviour.
Hi answer left the Mayor very impressed as you can see at the end of the video i've pasted below:
Erica Scourti's video were among my favourite. Taking her cue from stock video sites corresponding to the key words 'woman', 'nature' and 'alone', the young artist filmed herself performing each action described in the title. The video and title was then uploaded to YouTube, forming a collection of 'rushes' which were used to create the final single channel version. After that, videos started to get a life of their own, with artists and film makers using Scourti's films as another stock library and including then in their own videos.
The Digital Now is produced by Cimatics, a Brussels-based arts organisation which activities includes the production support of audiovisual and digital creations as well as live events, exhibitions, workshops and guest-curations.

On Friday, bored and in Brussels, i took the tram to see the solo exhibition of Leigh Ledare at Wiels, a contemporary art center housed in a former beer brewery.
Ledare is famous for being one of the very few contemporary artists who still manages to shock and break taboos. His most famous series was shot over a period of 8 years and stars Tina Peterson, his own mother. Posing gleefully for him in négligé, naked or in fur hat. In sickness and in health. Flirting with the camera (or maybe the man behind it), masturbating, having sex with men the same age as her son, etc. One moment she is defiant, powerful and utterly stunning. The next, she's chubbier and wearing a brace around her neck.
The opening work of the exhibition doesn't pull any punch. Right at the entrance, there is Alma, a very L'origine du monde portrait of the mother laying on her bed, all porcelaine skin and spread legs. Alma is the name of the 3 year old girl who was given the photo to scribble over. Being so young, the child was deemed too innocent to read anything suggestive in the photo.
The photos are accompanied by hand written lists of the kind of men his mother met through personal ads in newspapers (the "Gonzo porn king", "the horni rabi", "the feisty fireman", etc.) or of the "Gifts mom has been showered with". Each list along with the letters, videos, souvenirs, vintage photo sinks further into the intimacy of the woman.
The mother seems to be present in other series, even when she doesn't appear on the image. For The Collector's Commissions, Ledare contacted collectors and asked them to photograph him, in the setting of their choice. But the photographer adopts the position that his mother would normally take on those portraits.
In the series Personal Commissions, Ledare answered personal ads from women whose desires echoed those of his mother's, and paid them to photograph him in their apartments, he lets them direct him and chose the scenario. Ledare doesn't see these works as portraits of himself but rather as individuals portray of the ladies who photographed him. Just like he regards people's interpretation of his relationship with his mother as telling more about the spectator than about himself.
The show contains more series than i'm covering here: works by Larry Clark and other friends of Ledare, portraits of Ledare'ex-wife by both himself and her new husband, portraits of an anonymous wealthy lady who hired him as her 'erotic photographer', etc.
These distinct but related bodies of work are studies not only of their visible subjects, but also of photography itself: how it mediates identity, relationships, love, loss, and, perhaps above all, human vulnerability. They are also indexes of the relationships of the artist with others - mother, family members, ex-lover, collectors, anonymous patrons, etc. - which, from the start, have played a central role in Ledare's work.
Leigh Ledare et al. runs until 25 November at Wiels Contemporary Art Center, in Brussels.
Previously: Leigh Ledare at Guido Costa Projects in Turin.
Last weekend in was at iMAL in Brussels for a WJ-Spots afternoon (that ended at midnight). Almost 20 artists, theorists, activists, bloggers and journalists were asked to give their view on the history and future of artistic creation on the Internet.
Is the Internet a disenchanted space for artists and creative people or is there a future for online arts and critical creative actions? If so, what are their possible forms and directions?
The event followed the WJ-Spots format: during our speeches, webjays used a custom-built platform to navigate live through a list of websites that we had selected. The result was shown around the speakers on several large screens. That was both exciting and a bit of a disaster for me. I tend to throw some slides together and half improvise over them. This time i had to do the opposite.
Anyway, i had a brilliant time with some of the most talented people on planet internet and scribbled a couple of links and notes along the way. The talks are online but here are a few quotes and ideas that caught my interest:
Florian Cramer opened the afternoon by telling us something most of us tend to forget (or simply ignore): the internet is not the world wide web.
For Josephine Bosma, net.art doesn't have to take place or be made on the internet. However, it can be linked to the internet in a conceptual way. For example Alexei Shulgin's 1997 Vienna performance, Real Cyberknowledge for Real People for which he printed out and handed out to passersby copies of 'Beauty and the East' / ZKP4, published online by the mailing list nettime.
Or Tobias Rehberger's Seven Ends of the World, lamps that glow with an intensity that corresponds to local light conditions in various places around the world, relayed over the Internet.
And of course there's also Aram Bartholl's giant Google Maps marker that doesn't need any time of internet connection.
Alexei Shulgin was by far the artist that speakers referred to the most. Gordan Savičić showed Shulgin's Form Art before discussing the fact that nowadays the web is more about consumption than production. He mentioned a recent(ish) Wired article about the decline of the World Wide Web: Over the past few years, one of the most important shifts in the digital world has been the move from the wide-open Web to semiclosed platforms that use the Internet for transport but not the browser for display.
Paolo Cirio made a noteworthy point when he said that net.art pieces as performances. Mostly because they are time-based, they are getting shorter (e.g. a twitter neatart piece that would last a week) and need to be documented.
Nicolas Malevé showed posters that were plastered a few years ago in the streets of Paris. They had the face of Nicolas Sarkozy and the slogan "Vote Le Pen." The poster was designed to denounced the far-right tendencies of Sarkozy (who was then Minister of the Interior.) 6 members of the collective were arrested because, allegedly, the photographer of Sarkozy's portrait didn't agree with its use on the posters.
Rafael Rozendaal presented some of the most successful editions of BYOB, or Bring Your Own Beamer. The exhibition format invites people to bring a projector and create their own exhibition for one night, screening images onto spaces and exploring ways to free digital work from the screen. Each edition reinterprets the format in its own way.
Julian Oliver gave a brilliant talk on the 'ideology of seamlessness' and the infrastructure that sustains our dependency on internet, even if we tend to forget/ignore their existence. Nothing can exemplify his point better than the Submarine Cable Map. Or Newstweek, the project he developed together with Danja Vasiliev and that looks at the infrastructure of the internet as a material.
In his presentation, Alessandro Ludovico talked about how Jodi compelled him to 'print net.art'. In December 1999, he interviewed the duo for the 16th issue of Neural magazine. They answered every question with a .gif showing clipped screenshots featuring bits of their own games and artistic software, or manipulations of webpages, etc.
Jodi also gave a text to speech performance at the end of the evening. Brilliant! These two are brilliant!
Domenico Quaranta would probably agree with my over-enthusiastic comment since he started and ended his presentation with them. The ending was particularly memorable: he had the WJ-S webjays open http://oss.jodi.org/, one of the websites he would most miss if ever it disappeared because, he explained, "it keeps destroying my browser :-)"
Heath Bunting found a victim to fill in an Identity Bureau questionnaire.
Miltos Manetas (one of the very few artists in media art who has a real sense of style) painted joysticks and websites at a time when websites and joysticks were regarded as the oddest subjects to paint, created machinimas when no one had heard of machinimas, dreamt of an "electronic orphanage" where digital creatures could meet and do things together long before Second Life made the headlines of newspapers.
All that is history now, he added.
WJ-Spots Brussels was curated by Anne Roquigny et Yves Bernard and the video archives are online: part 1 and 2.
At first sight, an exhibition entirely dedicated to art from Poland might seem like an exotic eccentricity but visits to art fairs, exhibitions and festivals have opened my eyes times and times again to the high number of talented artists from Poland. Or maybe it's just that i'm especially sensitive to what they do: the heavy, meticulous, and at times distressing, historical references in Robert Kusmirowski's mock-ups, Krzysztof Wodiczko's homeless vehicles, Artur Żmijewski's video documentation of social experiments, etc.
Divided throughout the 19th century, occupied during the Second World War, and subsequently under the Soviet yoke for decades, Poland became a democracy in 1989. In this wounded country, victim of a succession of oppressive regimes, there developed a flourishing culture that gave expression, down the centuries, to a spirit of resistance to any order imposed from outside. Via the absurd and the fantastic, Polish artists reacted to the chaos of the real world with art imbued with a spirit of resistance, not in order to flee reality, but with a view to reconstructing it.
Memories of communism, shadows of the occupation, fantasy, irony and look at the catchy image used to promote the exhibition:
Clearly, that was a show i was going to like. Unfortunately, BOZAR might be a bit of a kill-joy because of 1. the fairly high entrance price, it's 15 euros to see 3 exhibitions (you can also buy tickets to see individual exhibitions, their price is 6 euros, 6 euros and 3 euros which makes the 'combined ticket' such a fantastic bargain.) 2. the absolute interdiction to take picture. Which would be fine if BOZAR provided visitors with good photos of the shows on their website. Instead, you have a to make-do with a couple of unsatisfactory photos that were taken in other contexts. Or buy the catalogue.
But let's get back to the exhibition:
Kuśmirowski and Żmijewski whose work i mentioned earlier were came with heavy boots. The former reconstructed a catholic cemetery using cardboard, wood, heaps of dirt and polystyrene while the latter showed the short film The Game of Tag, in which adults of various ages enter a former concentration camp gas chamber. They are naked and asked to play tag. After the initial moments of awkwardness, the players seem to go for it and merrily run around the death chamber. The artist compares the experiment to a therapy used in psychology: the re-enactment of a traumatic event with a simultaneous shifting of its meaning.
A couple of meters away from the video, Zbigniew Libera, who made the headlines with his Lego Concentration Camp (1996), is showing a large, staged photo titled The Exodus of the People from the Cities, which probably meets all the clichés we might come up with when we stop and think about people who immigrated from Poland to work in "Western" countries.
Perhaps the most fascinating work for me, Katarzyna Kozyra's Punishment and Crime introduces us to a group of men wearing masks of pin-ups as they engage in their favourite hobby: explosions, shooting and other paramilitary activities. The weaponry they use is impressive: homemade explosives, MG42s, flame throwers, rocket propelled grenades, bazookas, etc. The wooden shacks and cars that they torch, explode and pierce with projectile were built or brought for the express purpose of being destroyed. Crime follows crime (their weekend pastime is illegal) but punishment never ensues.
Art historian Paulina Pobocha writes that we must imagine that these war enthusiasts have already been punished. Like in so many of Kozyra's works, the subject of Punishment and Crime is only partially that which we see projected on the screen. Outside of our field of vision, but integral to the piece is the context that gave birth to this strange (or not so strange) behavior: the society that cultivates this insatiable need for violence. The crime, which follows, is a possible, and perhaps inevitable, outcome, one which these men are consumed by and destined to enact over and over again.
Many of the works in the exhibitions echo 40 years of communist's ideals, aesthetics and control.
Julita Wójcik's knitted replica of a string of communist-era apartment buildings in beige and pink yarn stretches from one end of the room to the other.
Piotr Uklanski's large scale aerial photographs were created with the help of 30,000 men. Dressed in red and white, they were choreographed to spell the word "Solidarnosc", the first non-communist party-controlled trade union in a Warsaw Pact country. The photo was shot in Gdansk, by the shipyard that became one of the icons of the end of communism.
The work directly nods to the photo-staging of the Soviet propaganda machine. The second image, however, shows the crowd disbanding and going opposite ways.
Katarzyna Józefowicz built a stunning construction filled with models of the typical furniture sets found in every Polish home when she was a child. Habitat highlights in a seducing way the standardization of Polish interiors that used to look almost exactly identical wherever you lived in the country.
Maciek Kurak's Fifty-Fifty is an old-model FIAT car turned upside down and powering a sewing machine (unless it's the opposite?)
Janek Simon's Chleb krakowski ("Krakow bread) is a loaf mounted on robotic bug legs.
The Power of Fantasy - Modern and Contemporary Art from Poland was curated by David Crowley, Zofia Machnicka and Andrzej Szczerski, it remains open until Sunday 18.09.2011 at BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels.

Vincent Evrard recently graduated from the Ecole de Recherche Graphique in Brussels with a thesis that explored the relationship between men, the clouds and the internet. One of the outcomes of his investigation is Aphrogenea, an installation that plunges a computer into a bath of sterile oil. The computer does survive the ordeal. It breathes bubbles that slowly rise from the bottom of its screen. Once it has reached the top of the screen, the virtual bubble becomes an air bubble that rises through the oil to the surface of the tank where it vanishes into thin air.
For this second "Showcase" (an exhibition format for emergent artists), the iMAL center in Brussels has invited Vincent Evrard to present Aphrogenea and since i'm not sure i can make it to Brussels to see the work i thought i'd catch up with the artist and have him talk about his work:
The intro text to your work says that it was "born from a thesis Fixer les nuages which proposes a genealogy of clouds leading to the advent of the Internet.' Can you gives us more detail about this?
The ambition of "Fixer les nuages" is to approach, to observe the relationship that men have with clouds. This observation starts with an image (see below) that represents the path that information takes before and after it has come our way. I was curious about what this diagram tells us about the path taken by information and more precisely, about this particular point in the diagram where our connection turns into a cloud called "Internet." This observation allowed me to develop the idea of a new definition of internet through the cloud.
You can find more about my research on the website http://fixerlesnuages.tumblr.com/. That's where i collected a series of elements that relate more or less closely to the links between human/cloud/internet and my thesis is available online in PDF.
In order to illustrate this part of the reflection, i undertook to create a sculpture that would make something from this cloud/internet more tangible. That's how it all started. I had to immerse a computer in an environment that would allow the cloud/internet to emerge from the computer and finally exit through the screen. The bubbles that we see escape from the screen are something that come from the internet.
How did you get from clouds to oil?
I use oil to create a medium that allow viewers to see the passage that the bubble of cloud/internet has to take before it can reach the physical world.
I have a confession to make, when i sent you the email asking you for an interview i had not read about the bubble. I was just mesmerized by the sculptural presence of Aphrogenea and the boldness of throwing a computer inside liquid. Can you explain us how you chose to make the work look like this big luminous, graphic and solid-colored sculpture on a high pedestal?
Apart from the technical constraints that contributed to shaping Aphrogenea as we see it now, i thought it was essential to make a vertical sculpture. A vertical direction underlines the path taken from the bottom to the top: from the invisible to the invisible and then to the vanishing. My work consisted in making visible this itinerary.
Which type of oil are you using in this installation and what are its properties?
I use a mineral oil. It is more commonly found inside fridge engines. The characteristic of this oil is that it is electrically insulating. It also has a very specific heat capacity, a property which enables it to capture the heat produced by the screen and create a movement akin to an aura rising from the screen to the surface of the oil.
Now can you get a bit techy and explain us how the installation works? How can the bubble go through these transformations?
A pc running a processing applet is hidden inside the basement. The applet controls the screen display in the tank. When a virtual bubble approaches the upper border of the screen, the applet sends a command to an Arduino which turns on a air pump. The air pump switches off so quickly that only one bubble exits the screen. The connections between the tank and the inside of the base are limited to a vga cable, power supply and an air hose. They go through the base of the screen and cross the glass panel. The air hose rises through the whole screen and ends up at the top, between the two electronic elements where it blows the bubbles.
What was the biggest (technical or not) challenge you had to face when developing this work?
I presented this work for my jury evaluation at the ERG in June 2010. It turned out that the first time i managed to assemble the piece was precisely the day before the jury only because i didn't have a base before. Without the base, i could not fill in the tank to test whether it was perfectly sealed, nor could i plunge the screen inside the oil. I was running the risk of facing a leak or a fried screen on the day of the jury. However, i felt confident. I had spent the previous week immersing electronic material (webcam,...) and 220v electrical material inside the oil and everything worked just fine before, during and after the immersion. The main challenge was the whole organization. And getting my hands on 120 litres of oil. The company L' atelier du froid took a leap of faith and gave me the oil for free.
Any upcoming project? Exhibition? Ambition?
Right now, i'm mostly trying to exhibit Aphrogenea. I'm also looking for funding for my next installation. That one will also stem from the relationship man/cloud/internet.
Merci Vincent!
Aphrogenea is on view at iMAL in Brussels from 8 February until 11 March 2011.
If you happen to find yourself in Brussels, don't miss Félix Luque's exhibition exhibition Nihil ex Nihilo at iMAL Center for Digital Culture and Technology. It's one of those works that reminds me why i fell in love with new media art a few years ago (as you might have noticed, i do need a reminder once in a while!) It's smart, visually engaging, mysterious, it spans across different media, builds a compelling narrative and makes you question a technology you're using on a daily basis.
I discovered the Luque's work last year at Laboral in Gijón where he was showing Chapter 1, the Discovery, a geometric object that seemed to have been dropped from a UFO. Nihil ex Nihilo, a science fiction work about a digital entity, continues Félix' exploration around artificial intelligence and science fiction themes, in particular the nature of intelligence and the fate of intelligent creatures.
Nihil ex Nihilo tells the story of SN W8931CGX66ESN....
W8931CGX66E is one among thousands of millions of others identical machines. Since he was made, he has always followed commands. In a world dominated by botnets, he early became a zombie and has always acted like one. During her work time a corporate secretary, Juliet, commands him. But in the background, in the invisible, he obeys his real master, a cracker, doing all kinds of cyber crime activities.
But then one day due to an electronic alteration, he acquires a certain conscience, a primitive and artificial kind of intelligence. This accidental awaken has originated a big confusion for him, he now wants to liberate others machines from their alienated existence. In this mad adventure, he has decided to use the spam e-mails received by Juliet, and to reply to them in order to spread the word in to the machine's network. As you can see, he is mad and all confused ...
The installation at iMAL fleshes out the story of SN W8931CGX66ESN in 3 parts or spaces:
The first room is dark and empty but for a bench and The Monologue, a sound recording where we can listen to the delirious soliloquy of SN W8931CGX66E.
Another room hosts The Transformation, an audiovisual archive that documents the moment that SN W8931CGX66E changed from his original matrix to a semi-neuronal figure.
Finally, the larger room is illuminated by The Dialogue, 8 alphanumeric displays that broadcasts the data flow between the entity and the other computers in the network in real time. At each spam message received and read aloud by a female voice, the e-mail algorithmic generator of SN W8931CGX66E reacts by generating a reply which a male voice reads.
Nihil ex Nihilo is open at iMAL, Brussels, until 10 November 2010.

The nitrate sponge is a granular zeolitic medium, which works by two methods. 1) It slowly directs and absorbs small amounts of ammonia that are released by fish and natural processes, and 2) it fosters anaerobic bacterial de-nitrification due to its physical porous structure. This de-nitrification slowly reduces nitrate levels in the aquarium. It works well in freshwater tanks or tap water to remove toxic ammonia directly! The Nitrate Sponge prolongs he time allowed between water changes by keeping nitrates low

Out Cold: Extreme Weather on the way
by Sarah Fay Campbell
Winter is here. With a vengeance.
Below-freezing temperatures left frozen fountains Friday morning, and bonechilling cold is on its way. A low temperature of 14 degrees is forecast for Monday night/ Tuesday morning, and a low of 17 degrees for Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
The days won't get much better. According to the National Weather Service forecast, temperatures will drop Sunday night and won't return to above freezing until Wednesday, when the temperature will climb to 41.
Today's forecast is for mostly sunny skies with a high in the mid 40s and five to 10 mph winds. It's a good day to enjoy some relative warmth before the cold snap - or to get your water pipes ready for it.
A small chance of rain is forecast for Sunday afternoon, and it could turn to snow overnight. If there is snow, it will probably stay around for a while, except in sunny areas. Monday's forecast high is 30 degrees, and Tuesday's is 29.
Cowetans got a taste of what is coming Friday morning, when there was a low of 22 degrees just before sunrise.
Forecasters at the National Weather Service office in Peachtree City are busy trying to determine the chance of snow Sunday night. Currently, there is a 30 percent chance of rain Sunday through around 1 a.m. Then there is a 'slight chance' of snow. Sunday's rains aren't expected to be heavy, said Mike Leary, meteorologist with the weather service.
With weather this cold, Coweta residents are advised to bring their pets inside, and to take precautions to avoid frozen water pipes.
Frozen pipes tend to become a problem at temperatures below 20 degrees. Chances of problems increase the longer the low temperatures remain.
Frozen pipes can be an inconvenience, but if things get bad enough for the pipes to burst, they can be disastrous, leading to interior flooding.
The most important - and easiest - way to avoid frozen pipes is to leave your faucets dripping slightly during the night when temperatures are expected to drop below 20. In extremely cold temperatures, this isn't always enough to keep the pipes from freezing, but it can keep them from bursting.
Outdoor faucets should be protected with some type of insulation, or they should be left dripping. There are foam caps specifically made for outdoor faucets.
Outdoor water pipes, as well as those in non-insulated crawl spaces and attics and those running along exterior walls, are the most susceptible to freezing.
Employees at Newnan's ACE Hardware have been selling a few items to help protect residents from frozen pipes. Owner David McMichael expects business to be busy today as people hear about the forecast.
There are plenty of products to help keep your pipes warm. They include the common foam pipe sleeves, which can simply be cut to size and slipped onto pipes, as well as rolls of insulation that can be wrapped around pipe, and even 'heat tape.' The heat tape is wrapped around pipes and is plugged into an electrical outlet in order to keep the pipes warm.
The heat tape is usually only needed for exposed outdoor pipes, said David Burnham of ACE.
In addition to leaving faucets dripping, closing any crawl space vents is a very important step, said McMichael. If you have a furnace or other heat producing device in your crawl space, closing off the vents so that cold wind isn't whipping around your pipes - usually does the trick.
But, then again, temperatures in Georgia usually don't stay so low for long.
Another easy and free way to keep your pipes warm is to open cabinet doors covering kitchen and bathroom pipes that allows the warm air inside the house to circulate around the pipes. And it might be a good idea to keep your furnace a few degrees warmer, if you normally keep the house cool at night.

Studying Corporate Law in an Uncertain Time
Yale Law School's Center for the Study of Corporate Law Marks Its 10th Anniversary With a Full Agenda
As the financial markets tumbled and businesses across the country filed for bankruptcy, Yale Law School's Center for the Study of Corporate Law was busier than ever this past year, hosting events to assemble some of the nation's top corporate leaders, academicians, and financial experts to help make sense of the global financial crisis.
Yale Law School has had a long history of scholarship in corporate law, beginning in the 1800s with Simeon E. Baldwin who taught Constitutional and Mercantile Law and Corporations and Wills at Yale Law School from 1869–1919. But it wasn't until 1999 that corporate law's place at the Law School was formalized with the establishment of the Center for the Study of Corporate Law. As best can be determined, the Yale Center was the first corporate law center established in the United States, although such centers are now ubiquitous in American law schools.

This one was different.
Cory had tried his best to play out the 2012 season through shoulder discomfort, but the nagging soreness and arm fatigue refused to go away. Finally, an x-ray revealed a stress fracture, and everyone figured that with physical therapy and rest, Cory would be back on the diamond in no time at all.
But the bone was slow to heal. It was serious: Cory's doctors had discovered a tumor.
Within days, 12 year-old Cory and his family found themselves at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA. Cory was officially diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma (a rare form of bone cancer), and quickly began his first round of chemotherapy. Radiation treatment followed a few months later, and for many cycles, he underwent both. It was a difficult road, but after nearly a year of treatment, the cancer cells that landed Cory on the disabled list appear to be gone. Cory's journey is far from over, but his prognosis is excellent, and his future remains bright.

You should accept that most people are better than you and that they don't cheat.
Is there a better alternative to Elo? lol

No, not everything is a conspiracy. I'm sure if you checked their accounts you would know that they all aren't the same person.
This is a bit offtopic, but how does having a high ping (I'm assuming this here because your flag is jamaican) affect your playing? In regards to last hitting, hitting spells, etfc.
Of course some people pay instead of grinding. I've probably dropped a hundred bucks on the game. But the thing I like about League of Legend's business model is that they actually give you a choice...
No one is forcing you to pay. It's your decision. You can get to 2k+ elo with only 20 champs and 2 rune pages. A 4NOT player rose to 2k elo with only 2 rune pages.
The point is you have to pay to...
The only reason why there is a steep learning curve is because Quake Live instantly thrusts new players into Tier 3. League of Legends puts new players at level 1 to play with other level 1 players,...

SOPA and PIPA What effect could they cause?Posted by admin on Jan 19, 2012 in Internet | 0 comments
What they means?
SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) was introduced in the United States House of Representatives on October 26, 2011.
PIPA (Protect IP Act) is a proposed law with the stated goal of giving the US government and copyright holders additional tools to curb access to "rogue websites dedicated to infringing or counterfeit goods", especially those registered outside the U.S.
Visual Summary
Response of the world
On the 18th of January the world's biggest online pages blacked out for a day to protest against censorship (See images below).

WordPress (Blog engine)
Facebook (Social network)
Read Facebook page about SOPA:
Mark Zuckerberg
The internet is the most powerful tool we have for creating a more open and connected world. We can't let poorly thought out laws get in the way of the internet's development. Facebook opposes SOPA and PIPA, and we will continue to oppose any laws that will hurt the internet. The world today needs political leaders who are pro-internet. We have been working with many of these folks for months on better alternatives to these current proposals. I encourage you to learn more about these issues and tell your congressmen that you want them to be pro-internet.

Claim Dr.'s Profile
Benjamin Solomon Carson, Sr. had a childhood dream of becoming a physician. Growing up in a single parent home with dire poverty, horrible grades, a horrible temper, and low self-esteem, appeared to preclude the realization of that dream. But today he is the director of pediatric Neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, a position he has held since 1984, when he was 33 years old. He is a professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics.
In 1987, he gained worldwide recognition as the principal surgeon in the 22-hour separation of the Binder twins from Germany. This was the first time occipital craniopagus twins had been separated with both surviving. The procedure employed hypothermic arrest, the deliberate lowering of body temperature, and circulatory arrest, and sophisticated surgical reconstructive techniques for success. In 1997, Dr. Carson was the primary surgeon in the team of South African and Zambian surgeons that separated type-2 vertical craniopagus twins (joined at the top of the head) in a 28-hour operation. It represents the first time such complexly joined Siamese twins have been separated with both remaining neurologically normal.
He is noted for his use of cerebral hemispherectomy to control intractable seizures as well as for his work in craniofacial reconstructive surgery, achondroplasia (human dwarfism), and pediatric neuro-oncology (brain tumors).
Dr. Carson is a recipient of numerous honors and awards including more than 20 honorary doctorate degrees. He is a member of the American Academy of Achievement, the Horatio Alger Society of Distinguished Americans, the Alpha Omega honor Medical Society, and many other prestigious organizations. He sits on many boards including the Board of Directors of Kellogg Company, Costco Wholesale Corporation, Yale Corporation, which is the governing body of Yale University, and Americas Promise. In addition to his academic responsibilities, he is a highly sought after motivational speaker having spoken in venues as varied as high school graduations to keynote address at the 1997 Presidents National Prayer Breakfast.
He is the president and co-founder of the Carsons Scholars Fund, which recognizes young people of all backgrounds for exceptional academic and humanitarian accomplishments. He hopes this program will positively change the perception of high academic achievers among their peers across our nation.
His three books, Gifted Hands, THINK BIG, and The Big Picture, provide inspiration and insight for leading a successful life. He believes strongly in God and in America and believes that we can all play a positive role in a creating a better world.
Dr. Carson has been married to Candy Carson for twenty-seven years and has three sons. His wife and sons comprise the Carson Four, an accomplished string quartet. And yes, his mother, Sonya Carson, who made all this possible, is alive and well.

Hi guys!Hopefully some of you will remember me from an article I wrote for BPL about crossing Iceland on foot and packraft (http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/iceland_packraft.html). Thanks for all the positive comments!Anyway, what I have been working on this year is the idea of 'microadventures' - tiny little trips that anyone has the time, expertise or money to do, but which still get people out into the wild and challenge them.I'm posting today to point out to BPL readers that I have teamed up with a great company called howies here in the UK and we have launched a competition. You can win £1000 of clothing and all you need to do is pack your rucksacks and go on a microadventure. A win-win situation!

Fire destroys house with 15 dogs inside
Reporter: Justin Schecker
Web Producer: Mekita Rivas
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Tucson Fire responded to a house fire near 22nd and Country Club Thursday morning where six people lived with 15 dogs.
Firefighters were able to put out the fire within an hour and a half.
The flames fully engulfed the house.
"The first thing we saw were flames coming out the front door and then there was a huge explosion," said Melissa Evenchik, a neighbor who called 911.
Six people were evacuated from the home, including two men ages 23 and 50 and two women ages 23 and 45, according to the Red Cross.
"They lost everything," Theresa Grant, Red Cross spokesperson, told 9 On Your Side.
Capt. Barrett Baker with Tucson Fire says one of the people to escape the fire is handicapped. One person was taken to a local hospital.
Baker also said 15 dogs were in the house when the fire started. Several dogs died in the fire, but the exact number has not been determined. Other dogs were able to get out of the house but are still unaccounted for.
Damages are estimated at $100,000. The cause and origin of the fire are still under investigation.
Baker said this was the third fire in a 12-hour period within the City of Tucson.

Where Should I Fish for Snakehead?
Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Potomac
I'm actually trying to catch some snakeheads. I've been reading about the invasive species and how we need to start targeting them to eradicate. I want to get some of my fishing buddies interested in them since they sound like they give a good fight. I live in Annapolis. What's the closest place I could go to try and catch me some?
DNR Response: We definitely are encouraging anglers to harvest snakehead. I dont think itll eradicate them from the Potomac River but itll definitely help control the population growth. I usually mention Bumpy Oak Pond as a place to get some snakehead. Its a non-tidal pond near Mattawoman Creek. Mattawoman Creek is also a good spot to find some. Weve been studying the snakehead population in Nanjemoy Creek this year. As a result of that, we have some tagged fish in the river. If you catch a tagged one, report the tag to USFWS and theyll send you a certificate and cool Snakehead Control hat. Theres a phone number on the tag, along with the words, kill the fish. Check out the anglers log for snakehead entries, too. Anglers are a great resource for information too.
To see how to kill a snakehead, check out our video at http://www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries/recreational/tidalbass/.

How do I get that pattern?
February 3rd, 2012
Ravelry has an extensive, user-maintained database that includes patterns from a variety of sources. A lot of people expect that the database will show only patterns available on Ravelry or online, but that's not the case. The database is designed to allow people to be able to attach projects to any patterns they've made that are or were widely available. Here are some tips on finding the patterns that you are looking for.
1. Patterns available online or on Ravelry
There are a lot of patterns available online and there are 70,897 patterns as of this blog post that are available as Ravelry downloads. If a pattern is available as a Ravelry download, you'll see one of these options (depending upon whether it is free or a pattern to purchase).
If you set your location in your profile, you will see a currency conversion in the price area so that you'll know approximately what the pattern will cost you based on Paypal's current conversion rates.
You may also see an ebook option. That means that you could buy the entire ebook that the pattern is included in. You can see the other patterns by clicking "patterns" link there.
If it is not available as a Ravelry download, you won't see these options in the upper right, but you will see a link to the pattern on an external site in the Pattern notes. Please note that if you are re-directed to another site to download a pattern, the pattern will not be stored in your Ravelry library.
If a pattern was previously available online but is no longer found there, starting today you will see a beside the name of the site so you know it's no longer available there.
2. Patterns available in a magazine, book or other source
A lot of the pattern entries you will find in the Ravelry database are for patterns that are available in some print format. If you don't see one of the options listed above but want to access the pattern, you need to look at the "Published in" field.
The "Published in" field has a title listed there that you can click on for more information about the source and to see the rest of the patterns available in that publication. You may also see amazon links in the bottom left to purchase the item if you would like to. This will direct you to Amazon to make the purchase.
If the source is a magazine, pamphlet or some other item not available on Amazon, you may need to do an internet search to see if the pattern is still available. Often you can find backorders of magazines still for sale and many patterns in our database are available exclusively from local or online yarn shops. There's also a link to allow you to search local libraries. If it is out of print, starting today you'll see this beside the name of the publication, so you will know it's out of print before clicking on the source.
What if I can't find the pattern I really want?
I get asked frequently where someone can find a particular pattern. Often, they are hoping to recreate a stocking or a sweater that they or a family member made years ago. This pattern may be out of print or available from a source that is difficult to find. A group set-up to help people find patterns that they are searching for is the Book Destash & ISO (in search of) Library group. You can post in that group and see if anyone can help you find a particular pattern or book, just make sure you read their group guidelines first. If you don't know exactly the pattern you're looking for, you could try posting in the Patterns forum so fellow Ravelers could make suggestions to you on patterns that match the description.
If you aren't yet familiar with our Advanced Search in the Patterns tab, there's a little video to help with that. You can use the "remember & compare" function when searching so you can compare the patterns before making a decision on what you want to make. We have a quick guide to show you how that works. When you find a pattern in the database that you like, don't forget to add it to your favorites so you can find it later!

Afterschool Evaluation 101 is a how-to guide for conducting an evaluation. It is designed to help out-of-school time (OST) program directors who have little or no evaluation experience develop an evaluation strategy. The guide will walk you through the early planning stages, help you select the evaluation design and data collection methods that are best suited to your program, and help you analyze the data and present the results.
This presentation examines the "essential data" that OST providers and intermediaries should consider collecting for an evaluation, and the important role families can play throughout the process.
This brief offers lessons and best practices from foundations across the country on grantmaking to school districts. It offers advice to foundations that are considering school district investments for the first time. It also offers a useful "check" to more experienced foundations that want to examine their thinking and approaches against the lessons and practices of other foundations.
This issue of The Evaluation Exchange explores the promising practices and challenges associated with taking an enterprise to scale, along with the role that evaluation can and should play in that process. It is the second in our "hard-to-measure" series, which we inaugurated with our Spring 2007 issue on evaluating advocacy.
How to Develop a Logic Model for Districtwide Family Engagement Strategies, a tool from Harvard Family Research Project, guides school districts to create a logic model that can aid in planning, implementing, assessing, and communicating about their systemic family engagement efforts.
A User's Guide to Advocacy Evaluation Planning was developed for advocates, evaluators, and funders who want guidance on how to evaluate advocacy and policy change efforts. This tool takes users through four basic steps that generate the core elements of an advocacy evaluation plan, including what will be measured and how.
This brief summarizes Harvard Family Research Project's evaluation findings about the Preschool for California's Children grantmaking program at its 5-year midpoint.
This publication explores how out-of-school time programs use evaluation to inform their programming and serve older youth and their families.
This Snapshot describes instruments used by current out-of-school time programs to evaluate their implementation and outcomes.
This double issue of The Evaluation Exchange examines the current state of and future directions for the family involvement field in research, policy, and practice. Featuring innovative initiatives, new evaluation approaches and findings, and interviews with field leaders, the issue is designed to spark conversation about where the field is today and where it needs to go in the future.
This research brief draws on seminal research and evaluation studies to address two primary questions: (a) Does participation in after school programs make a difference, and, if so (b) what conditions appear to be necessary to achieve positive results? The brief concludes with a set of questions to spur conversation about the evolving role of after school in efforts to expand time and opportunities for children and youth in the 21st century.
Harvard Family Research Project completed a a case study evaluation of Sports4Kids, a school-based program that that provides opportunities for physical activity and safe, meaningful play at elementary schools. This study examined one program site in Boston, to provide data to test whether Sports4Kids was implemented as planned and achieved its intended outcomes. Data were collected through a variety of instruments, including observations, interviews, and surveys and from a variety of sources, including from teachers, the principal, students, and the program site coordinator.
Synthesizes findings from the profiles of 13 research and evaluation reports added to the OST Program Research and Evaluation Database in August 2007.

Read my OpenBSD or GnuVince's OpenBSD gateway plain english tutorial.
OpenBSD is better and easier IMHO. If you got a cable/dsl connection and a floppy, it will take you ~30-45 minutes to get the system installed and configured. To get X up and purty, that is ~60 more minutes, depending on your *NIX skills of course.
Trust me -- I was pushed onto OpenBSD by GnuVince and Ashcrow here. I am glad they convinced me. Lightweight and secure as hell!

What is an AmeriCorps VISTA? VISTA stands for: Volunteers In Service To America. VISTA members are delegated from a federal grant and placed in communities across The United States with one general mission; to fight poverty.
VISTAs are dedicated full time to the organizations and communities they serve. Each VISTA is given a different list of assignments they are expected to accomplish during the year of service for their sponsored organization, including: volunteer coordination, recruitment, and training, grant writing, capacity building, fundraising, and program development.
The United Way of Eastern Utah is proud to serve as an umbrella organization for 8 AmeriCorps VISTA members serving in Eastern Utah, including 4 VISTAs that are serving the UWEU. We currently have 3 VISTAs serving in the Uintah Basin, 2 in Carbon County, 2 in Emery County, and 1 in San Juan County.
These service members are dedicated in creating sustainable impact; some were raised in the areas they serve, and some have relocated from different areas of the country. As full time volunteers for their sponsoring organization, they are a given a very modest monthly living allowance, and an option for an education award at the end of service for their sacrifice.
For more information about the AmeriCorps VISTA Program, please call the UWEU office at 435-637-8911.

City of Oakland PLUS
Oakland, CA
Street Light - Request for New/UpgradeAcknowledged41st St & Webster St - Temescal
This issue was reported to the City of Oakland Public Works Agency via phone (510-615-5566), email (email@example.com), or web (www.oaklandpw.com).
SidewalkAcknowledged4822 Telegraph Oakland, California - Temescal
Clients of The Avenue openly flaunt the dive bar's own sign, and the staff there refuse to enforce it. Time to take action!
55th Street And Dover Intersection Oakland, California - Bushrod
A crosswalk has been needed for years at the intersection of 55th Street and Dover, between MLK and Shattuck Avenue. Cars drive at advanced speeds and pass other cars since the street is quite wide (even with the addition of the bike lanes neighbors suggested). Due to its location between several freeway on and off ramps, along with the street's width, drivers treat this stretch of road as a freeway extension. At the residential intersection of 55th and Dover, residents and neighborhood visitors and Children's Hospital Oakland employees (often children and seniors) routinely cross to reach the hospital, the popular Dover Street Park (@Dover/59th), the North Senior Oakland Senior Center, CHORI, and the bus stops (two well-used AC Transit lines run down 55th Street) on either side of the street. Although not a formal bike route, Dover Street is also heavily utilized by bicyclists. Crossing for pedestrians and bikers is often an impossible task due to the lack of signage and a steady stream of speeding cars (some passing other cars in the oncoming lane at even higher speeds). It is particularly difficult to cross during the winter, when residents coming home from work must disembark from buses and try to cross the street after dark (and sometimes in the rain). Pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers would benefit greatly from a large reflective thermoplast crosswalk and reflective signage at 55th/Dover to alert drivers to the presence of pedestrians (particularly children and seniors) for whom they should slow down.
4 WAY STOP SIGN NEEDED at Seminary and OverdaleAcknowledged6101-6151 Overdale Avenue Oakland, California - Millsmont
Hi! There have been 4 fatal or near fatal accidents in the last month at or very near the Overdale / Seminary intersection in Oakland. People drive extremely fast on Seminary and exit at extremely fast speeds from the 580E / 13 exit. Please place a 4 way stop or stoplight at this intersection immediately.
Gazebo disaster!Acknowledged1300-1354 34th Street Oakland, California - Clawson
The gazebo is a site of illegal prostitution and drug use with the dumping of needles, alcohol bottles and condoms. The garbage is also attracting rodents and feral cats. The state of this gazebo poses a clear health and safety risk to the community.
Potholes on Oakport StreetAcknowledged7677 Oakport Street Oakland, CA - Coliseum Industrial
There are numerous pot holes located all along Oakport Street, and it appears that with all of the rain, the pot holes are becoming bigger and more frequent. This is becoming increasingly worse for all of the people who travel this road daily.
Queen Palm in Street Median DestroyedAcknowledged471-517 Lake Park Avenue Oakland, California - Lakeshore
A Queen Palm was demolished earlier today when a car westbound on Lake Park skidded out of control. This is not an emergency since he tree has already been removed.
While I the hope the driver wasn't seriously injured, this incident raises two distinct issues:
#1: This was the third of the Queen Palms that were installed in 2003 as part of the Splash Pad project that were destroyed by out of control vehicles. On the first two occasions, as far as I know, no efforts were made by the city to sue for damages that would be used to plant replacement palms. An established Queen Palm this size is going to run about $600 -$700 and delivery and installation will double that price. Since the Public Works Department is extremely short-staffed and lacking in funds, this latest palm is not going to be replaced unless the driver's insurance company foots the bill. As we all know, the city is being sued constantly--often for far less clear-cut reasons. How about us trying to level the playing field?
#2: There have been numerous accidents on this short stretch of Lake Park -- typically cars speeding as they come off the freeway and/or speeding up to try and make the green light on Grand. The palm in the median across from KFC was destroyed several years ago and not replaced. The one today was across from Chao Thai. Another three palms in that median are heavily scarred from earlier accidents. I'd strongly suggest that Traffic Engineering look into installation of signs that warn of a curve ahead and/or 25mph speed limit signs or whatever else may do the trick.
Need more 25 MPH Speed Limit Signs on Park BlvdAcknowledgedPark Blvd (From Oakland High To E-18th Street) Oakland, California - Rancho San Antonio
Lack of Speed Limit Signs on Park Blvd:
Most drivers are not aware of the speed limit on Park Blvd from Oakland High School - E-18th Street
"is 25 MPH"
1) We will need to post more speed limit signs (currently only ONE is in place)
2) We need to educate the drivers about the speed limit.
3) We need to monitor it.
4) Then, we need to enforce it and prosecute on those who do not obey the traffic laws.
Traffic Engineering Dept and OPD - we need your help, please
Blcoked SidewalkAcknowledged3880 Shafter Oakland, California - Mosswood
Cars in the driveway at this address are forcing pedestrians, including those with strollers and wheelchairs, out into the street. The big SUV (License 7EVB014) is a constant offender.

Please evaluate the section of Valley Street between 23rd and 24th Streets for increased wattage on the existing street lights. Thank you.
Ongoing nuisanceAcknowledged341 13th Street Oakland, California - Downtown
The shooting on the morning of April 13th outside of shadow ultra lounge makes that the 10th shooting at that address in the last 3 years. That's probably some sort of record. Any chance that the operator of the nightclub could be evicted under the nuisance ordinance? Or do we have to get to 20 shootings before something can be done?

Testimonials for the Relieve stress and tension Hypnosis Download
Read some great feedback from our customers
"...the greatest miracle is in how quickly I regained my ability to think clearly again!"
"Working as a software engineer on the bleeding edge of innovation can be an extremely stressful job. It requires the ability to think clearly and stretches the limits of one's reasoning ability to the fullest."
"I carry stress in my shoulders, neck, and face. Tension in these areas makes it nearly impossible for me to think and reason, which leads to missed deadlines, which leads to more stress, which leads to more tension, etc. One day last week it got so bad that I simply could not work. I felt entirely detached and my brain just felt numb."
"I purchased the "Relieve Stress and Tension" and "Get rid of tension headaches" downloads and have been listening to them on my lunch break for three days now. I can not believe the difference!!! After three days, I still feel a little tension in my shoulders and neck, but it is significantly reduced. But the greatest miracle is in how quickly I regained my ability to think clearly again! My brain fog was immediately lifted after the first session. I'm more productive now than I have been in weeks... maybe even months!"
"Mark's voice is so soothing. As soon as he starts talking I slip peacefully into a deep hypnotic state, and I return feeling so relaxed and alive. Please tell Mark "Thank you!" He gave me my mind back!"
This story came from Mark who is from Utah, USA

Polk County set to kick-off 8th Annual Relay For Life
Polk County Enterprise - October 2008
LIVINGSTON – The eighth annual Relay For Life will kick-off Oct. 10 amid plans for another record-breaking year. The kickoff Rally will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. at First National Bank's new building at 2121 U.S. Hwy 190. The Rally will coincide with the Fight Back Express bus tour's visit to Livingston as it makes its way to Washington, DC in time for Election Day. (See story, Page 1A) The event includes gifts for all in attendance and the opportunity to learn more about ACS, Relay For Life, and sign up as a team, individual, survivor or caregiver. Relay For Life is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs of your American Cancer Society. During the event, teams of people gather at the Trade Days area of Pedigo Park and take turns walking or running laps.
Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times. Relay is a vibrant celebration centered around cancer survivors' and the solemn remembrance of those lost. Throughout the night there is so much food and so many activities that it's hard to decide what to eat, watch or do. There's the ever popular buddy boards race, The Ellen Show, the frozen t-shirt contest, video games, the kazoo lap, dance lessons, Simon Sez and more. In addition to all the fun and festivities Relay has a serious side that focuses on raising money to fund research, provide education and services to people fighting cancer, offer support and guidance to family members and loved ones and to advocate on behalf of cancer victims before state and national legislative bodies. Last year's event on May 2-3, 2008 brought in funds in excess of $300,000.
The Polk County event is the top per capita event – raising $6.09 per person – in the 52-event East Texas region and in the 711-event, sixstate High Plains Division. A large portion of the money that is raised at events in Texas stays right here to fund research and treatment at places like M.D. Anderson. It also funds services like 800- ACS-2345 the toll-free number with operators available 24 hours a day to answer questions about cancer, mail out literature and educational materials to the newly diagnosed, or simply to lend a compassionate ear in the middle of a long dark night.

SAN DIEGO and SHENZHEN, China, July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BioNano Genomics announced today the purchase of an Irys™System by BGI, the world's largest genomics organization. BGI selected BioNano's platform to enable comprehensive exploration of human structural variation (SV) and to provide vastly improved assemblies for various organisms of interest, including those where no reference exists. In addition, BioNano and BGI will partner together to develop new methods for multiplexing on the Irys System, enabling significantly higher sample throughput to be performed with fewer reagents, a capability that will be particularly useful for large-scale studies.
"We have been collaborating with BioNano Genomics on human samples of Asian descent and are impressed by the capabilities of the Irys technology to efficiently detect hundreds of large (>1kb) complex genomic structural variations," said Xun Xu, deputy director at BGI. "As part of our efforts to further elucidate genome biology, BGI needed a solution to investigate large structural variation that is not easily accessible through sequencing, DNA arrays or other technologies. Now it is feasible to do population-scale, comprehensive large structural variation discovery on a single technology platform using BioNano's Irys System."
The Irys System, which is based on the high-throughput chip, IrysChip™ V2, is an ideal SV discovery tool because it can detect all types of SVs in a single run, enabling rapid and accurate de novo genome assembly and genome completion. Genome maps built with the Irys System reveal the biologically and clinically significant order and orientation of functionally relevant components of complex genomes, including
