Online Learning
IU Bloomington's commitment to developing effective online learning resources reflects several complementary priorities: affordability, accessibility, effective use of teaching technologies, and ongoing education. Well-designed online courses, many of which are integrated with on-campus components, have the potential to reduce costs while providing flexibility, engaging learners, and attracting students throughout the world.
IU's Strategic Plan for Online Education is available here. School of Informatics and Computing Dean Robert Schnabel led the university-wide study to develop the plan.
Learn more about university-wide online education initiatives at the IU Online website. A report on the university's plans for online education can be found here: Moving Forward with Online Education.
IU Bloomington: Online Education Leader
IU Bloomington's online programs in business and education are ranked among the best in the nation, ahead of all other Big Ten schools. Learn more about the School of Education's programs at http://iuconnected.iu.edu/ and the Kelley School of Business programs at http://kelley.iu.edu/onlineMBA/.
Watch: Town Hall Meeting for IU Online
A town hall meeting was held on April 5 in the IMU Georgian Room to introduce IU Bloomington faculty and staff to the IU Online initiative and answer questions about online teaching and learning at IU.

Follow-up questions may be directed to Vice Provost for Stratetic Initiatives M.A. Venkataramanan, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Online Masters and Professional Programs
The Office of the Provost supports an initiative to enable each of IU Bloomington's professional schools to develop an online masters program or professional certificate. Currently, the School of Education, School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and Kelley School of Business offer online master's degrees. Schools expected to begin or complete the development of programs within the next year include the School of Global and International Studies, School of Journalism, Maurer School of Law, and School of Informatics and Computing.
Online Course Offerings
IU Bloomington is steadily increasing its online course offerings and is currently administering approximately 75 online courses in graduate and undergraduate areas of the School of Education, School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and Kelley School of Business.
Bloomington faculty interested in creating or expanding online courses have access to abundant resources through the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning, including its Institute for Designing Online Courses, and to the Online Instructional Design and Development Office through University Information Technology Services.
IU Bloomington has begun piloting several Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) taught by tenured faculty members. Offered through the Google online teaching platform that supports Stanford University, these pilot programs enable IU to test, develop, and refine its approach to this rapidly expanding area of higher education.
School of Library and Information Science Professor Katy Börner provided a free Information Visualization MOOC earlier this semester.
Forthcoming MOOCs include courses from Distinguished Professor of Computer Science and Informatics Geoffrey Fox and Daniel Hickey, associate professor in the School of Education and director of its Learning Sciences program.

Sql Server, GetDate and Linq to Sql.
OK, you've put a default value of GETDATE() on a column in your database and you're inserting a record via InsertOnSubmit. Oh no, the current server date isn't applied to your record. How can you get the server date and apply it?
Well, it turns out that there's a really simple trick that just requires a little bit of skullduggery on your part. (I like that word). Create a partial class that corresponds to your data context. In that class, put the following code:
[Function(Name="GetDate", IsComposable=true)] public DateTime GetSystemDate() { MethodInfo mi = MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod() as MethodInfo; return (DateTime)this.ExecuteMethodCall(this, mi, new object[]{}).ReturnValue; }
Then, all your code needs to do is call GetSystemDate() whenever you need to the current date from SQL.
Note: You may wonder why I've gone to all of this trouble, rather than using DateTime.Now in the client code. By using this method, we get the date and time based on the database server, rather than on client connections which may be set to different times.
January 21, 2008 at 11:09 pm
Thanks for the tip, its cool to see that we can use attributes to access SQL functions like that.
February 14, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Is there an advantage to this method over ExecuteQuery?
Private Function GetServerTime() as DateTime
Dim result as IEnumerable(Of DateTime) = _
Me.ExecuteQuery(GetType(DateTime), _
"SELECT GETDATE() AS CurrentSQLDateTime", _
New Object() {})
Return result.Single
End Function
If so, any idea of the VB syntax for those bracketed attributes?
June 11, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Actually there is an advantage, and quite a big one..
If you use the code that Jay provided, the query will be ran separately, and the date will be passed as a parameter. Furthermore, it can't be used in precompiled queries!
With the code provided by peteohanlon, linq will replace your GetSystemDate call in the linq query with GetDate in the resulting SQL query! And it can be used in precompiled queries :)
It can also be used just to get the datetime though. In this case both are pretty much identical..
December 4, 2008 at 6:51 pm
There is a much easier and more efficient way of doing this. Simply navigate to your linq to sql(.dbml) file, click on the appropriate column and in the properties window set the "Auto Generated Value" to true. Now you dont have to spend time creating this function and calling it every time you want this to occur.
It would be nice if you didnt even have to set "Auto Generated Value" property at all however.
April 1, 2011 at 6:21 pm
The preceding 2 examples do have a distinct advantage over the dbml method, though: you don't have to declare getdate() as a default method on your datetime column to get it to populate the record field with the current (database) server time. I have a scenario where I want the datetime to be null by default, and only sometimes be filled in either with the current timestamp, or an explicitly supplied value.
So thanks to Pete and Jay for your solutions also! (That being said, the dbml method is also really good to know. Thanks!)
November 2, 2009 at 9:13 am
thanks very much

April 11, 2010 at 7:34 pm
Ideally you'll store all dates as UTC.. use getutcdate() instead of getdate().. then just use DateTime.UtcNow in C# where needed. This way, you can easily translate this to any local time imaginable.

The cochlea, pictured super-magnified, is a spiralling tunnel that leads deep inside our ear. It acts as a funnel, feeding sound from the outside world through a 'lawn' of sensory hair cells which line the organ of corti, highlighted here in red. As noise floods in, the sensory hairs wave around, opening up electrical channels that take speedy messages to the brain. Our auditory hair cells are intricate and fragile, making them prone to damage by diseases and infections. The World Health Organization (WHO), promoting today as International Day for Ear and Hearing, supports immunization schemes worldwide in efforts to prevent hearing loss. They also advise on safety for people with noisy jobs – after all, constant exposure to loud noises can rip out our sensitive ear hair cells. Such damage is irreparable; we are born with just 30,000 of these precious hairs and once they're gone, they're gone for good.

Shock tube study of the ignition of lean propane / oxygen / argon mixtures at intermediate temperatures and high pressures
In: European Combustion Meeting
Louvain-la-Neuve (2005)
Buchaufsatz / Kapitel / Fach: Maschinenbau
The ignition delay times of lean (? = 0.5) propane/oxygen/argon mixtures were measured in the temperature range 750 K ? T ? 1300 K at pressures of 10 and 30 bar, respectively. The comparison with experiments in air [1,2] show that there is a good agreement at temperatures < 1050 K whereas at lower temperatures the ignition delay times of the present experiments are up to a factor of two shorter. This study confirms that the activation energy of the ignition delay time decreases at around 1050 K and a linear extrapolation is not possible. Reaction schemes used in literature cannot predict the ignition delay times at these low temperatures. ICCD pictures taken shortly after the ignition through the transparent end flange show that the ignition occurs in the middle of the shock tube.

99X Throwback Thursday: The Nixons
It's Throwback Thursday and while most people are posting High School selfies and what not, we like to look back at some of the bands that were a part of our history at some point or another. And one band that we LOVED back in the early/mid 90s were The Nixons!
The Nixons were an alternative rock band from Oklahoma. They gained some really big mainstream success after playing shows with the likes of Brother Cane, Soul Asylum, Slash's Snakepit, Kiss, the Toadies and many others.
We have A LOT of fantastic memories with this band. Whether it was our morning show calling Zac at 6 am and waking him up from a drunken slumber or watching the band absolutely destroy at one of our first Rebel Rocker Shows…those guys were always great. So here are some of our favorite Nixons' tunes. Enjoy!

Books as Art Objects (Reading Is Optional)
By MICHAEL FRANK
Published: January 2, 2004
''Ninety From the Nineties: A Decade of Printing'' is an exhibition built around a conundrum that lies at the center of most surveys of the book as object. The tension centers on purpose: books, which we are accustomed to thinking of as containers -- and conveyers -- of information, are placed in a context in which form is valued over content. Language is less important than the type that impresses it on the page. The paper counts for more than the story told on it. The illustrations and the binding might be the story. Words? Who needs 'em?
O.K., that may be extreme, though this cavalier -- or perhaps more accurately, cheeky -- attitude does seem present in some of the more inventive letterpress books on display at the New York Public Library, where Virginia Bartow has put together an exhibition that has a long tradition there. (Previous surveys considered the 1960's, 70's and 80's.)
Ms. Bartow herself seemed aware of the puzzle at hand. Asked what drove her as she winnowed down to 90 the more than 4,000 letterpress books the library acquired in the decade in which they were made, she replied with a question that the show obviously hopes to answer in the affirmative: ''Can books, without much explanation, without being read even, say something?''
Before this is sorted out, it's probably worth understanding the terms of the show. The library has a policy of buying books made by American and European presses that follow in the tradition of the private-press movement, set in motion by William Morris and the Kelmscott Press in London at the end of the 19th century.
In an increasingly industrialized world, Morris's goal was to reintroduce dedicated craftsmanship into the printing and binding of books. Using fine paper, typefaces based on calligraphic letter forms, decorative illustrations and aesthetic bindings, Morris sought to ''recapture the beauty and harmony of an earlier age,'' as Ms. Bartow puts it in her pamphlet accompanying the show.
A hundred years later his followers draw on the same vocabulary, though naturally many of them seek to deploy it to different ends. Morris's models were medieval manuscripts and early printed books; his descendants are not always so backward-gazing. Frequently the only thing they have in common with their progenitor is the most basic rule Ms. Bartow applied to the books she collected for the library: that they be the result of a relief-printing process, in which a surface has been inked and pressed to paper. This alone links them to Gutenberg; everything else is up for grabs.
The surprising thing about ''Ninety From the Nineties'' is the imaginative energy that is freed by this simple constraint. While Ms. Bartow insisted that artists' books were outside her purview, the best of the books here reflect considerable artistry. A number seem perfunctorily chosen, perhaps because their task is to fill out the exhibition's five sections: ''Binding,'' ''Type,'' ''Paper,'' ''Illustration'' and ''Inspiration.'' But as can happen with these shows, it's not the specific categories so much as the interconnections within them, the unspoken themes that occur as if by accident, that create the most interest.
Experimentation is certainly one of them. The urge among these printers to play with their materials and methods, the structure and illustration of their books, is palpable. At times it forces the basic question: What is a book, anyway? Is it Susan Lowdermilk's accordion-folded woodcut portrait gallery of her family (''All My Relations,'' Lone Goose Press)? What about Sara Karig's ''Vorkuta Poems'' (Dobbin Books), in which a molded-paper three-dimensional head created by Louise McCagg eats a miniature volume of Ms. Karig's verse? You have to take it on faith, since the mouth tightly clamps the language, that the poems can even be read.
Not all experiments are extreme. A workshop sponsored by the Book Arts Guild of Seattle shaped a folded sheet of paper to resemble a paper airplane and used bubble wrap to print background texture; if folding is sufficient to turn paper into a book, then a paper airplane seems an almost inevitable end form.
Markus Müller has rendered designs by Adrian Frutiger as bold watermarks (Basle Paper Mill), a reminder that there is often hidden beauty built into the very flesh of a book, while Russell Maret has adapted engravings of period commedia dell'arte figures into photo-etched metal cuts (Kuboaa Press). He has printed them with watercolor paint, which makes the classic images seem unpredictably handsome, blurred and modern.
Is it old-fashioned to single out for praise books that marry shape or form to content in a way that creates a reverberation between the two? Isn't this a reasonable ideal? For Mark Twain's ''Innocents Abroad'' Trisha Hammer has created a binding and box that together resemble a traveling case, and Heather McAdams has provided 20 pages of illustrations, made while she retraced Twain's itinerary (Sherwin Beach Press). The results are witty and wry.

Last year, the Harvard women's volleyball team eliminated a heavily-favored Cornell squad from the Ivy League Tournament.
The Big Red cried and called it a fluke.
This year, the Crimson defeated Cornell in a tense five-set thriller at the Malkin Athletic Center last night in front of 80 spectators.
This time the Big Red didn't cry and realized that flukes can happen only once.
"We're definitely putting it together," Harvard Coach Wayne Lem said. "Everybody played well. We picked everything up. We refused to let the ball hit the ground."
Harvard (4-6 overall, 1-0 Ivy) captured a 15-9, 16-14, 12-15, 10-15, 15-7 decision to move into a first-place tie with Princeton in the Ivy League.
"It feels great beating them again," said Captain Maia Forman, who led the Crimson to its upset over Cornell in the Ivy Tournament. "Our defense really did it for us."
In the first set, Cornell jumped out to a 6-2 lead, but Harvard bounced back after a side-out battle to record three unanswered points and take over the momentum. The Big Red responded with three unanswered points to go up by four, 9-5.
But once Forman took the service line, the first set quickly became a memory for Cornell. Behind Forman's serving and Co-Captain Manda Schossberger's thunderous spikes, the Crimson reeled off 10 Consecutive points to win the set.
No fluke here.
The Big Red started off well in the second set, capturing the six of the first nine points. But the Crimson rebounded to close the defecit to 8-7 on fine plays at the net by Nicole Anderson and Peri Wallace.
But Cornell captured the next five points to take a 13-7 advantage. The Crimson scored three of the next four points to close the defecit.
And the Big Red found itself against a Crimson team that just would not relinquish the match.
Losing 14-10, freshman Danni Cunningham scored a kill, followed by an ace and kill by Forman, and a Wallace shank to tie the match at 14.
After getting a side-out, Schossberger and Anderson combined to put the set away with kills down the line.

The rumors turned out to be very true, as Madonna returned to Miami and made a guest appearance at the Ultra Music Festival at Bayfront Park on Saturday, March 24.
At just past 11 p.m., Madonna, 53 and dressed in a black t-shirt, black latex pants and black and white striped sleeves, walked onto the stage and greeted the tens of thousands of fans in attendance.
She said after 14 years of Ultra she had finally made it to her first Ultra Music Festival, but "I was always here in spirit." She said she truly believes a DJ saved her life (making reference to the early-80s-era hit song). "In my world, the words music and dance are not seperated," she told the crowd. "Electronic music has been a part of my life since the beginning of my career."
Madonna, who has a new album out called MDNA, made a reference to the euphoria-enducing drug Ecstasy, which is a popular choice for some ravers who attend the electronic dance music marathon. "I have a question for you," Madonna said. "How many people in this crowd have seen Molly?" Molly - in this case short for molecule - is a slang term used for Ecstasy in its purest form. The name of Madonna's new album is also a play on words on the drug - the abbreviation for the drug is MDMA.
She then cursed at the crowd, asking if everyone was "ready for the next DJ mother f-ers" and introduced 22-year-old DJ Avicii, currently one of the hottest artists in the electronic music genre.
With over 37,000 people watching the live stream on YouTube, Madonna then joined Avicii in the DJ booth for some dancing, fist pumping and singing of her latest single "Girl Gone Wild" before departing backstage. After Avicii's performance the two were spotted backstage in a group photo with popular French DJ David Guetta.

Gary Bigeni blazer, Celine Me Alone tee, Tailor made leather pants, Nixon watch and Tony Bianco heels
Getting quite into these parody tees; nothing like poking a little fun at fashion. Not even Celine needs to be taken seriously all of the time. Another staple outfit; leather pants, tee and blazer all in black, white and grey. Simple and to the point. I'm feeling pretty good that the weekend is finally here – and Sydney is turning on the charm so I plan to make the most of the sunshine while it's around.

Botanical Note
Most authorities now say Microcitrus and Eremocitrus have been officially re-classified as Citrus - the genus from which they were taxonomically separated many years ago. As this seems to be the current trend, I am gradually changing over the names on this web-site.
However, in some ways the old classification was useful. Most Australian native varieties do have 'micro' features, but to me another distinguishing aspect is the remarkable change in leaf shape from juvenile to mature plant. But the ability to interbreed or hybridize with true citrus, plus the existence of types with intermediate features, indicates to botanists that the separation is artificial.
A comparison between a clementine leaf and a Citrus australasica leaf.
The name 'Microcitrus' was used with some justification!
Here in England I am growing potted specimens of most of the following Australian varieties. Many are seedlings, but some are from budwood of mature fruiting plants. Click the buttons below for more information on these varieties. Equivalent former names and common names are also shown where appropriate.
The Finger lime and the Desert lime in particular hybridise easily with the traditional 'true' citrus varieties. There are several named varieties, and some are starting to be grown commercially in Australia .Click here for details.
The Sydney Hybrid, a cross between the Finger lime and the Round lime was originally grown from seed sent from Sydney Botanic Gardens to Washington, USA. A specimen of the variety is still growing in the Palm Grove in Sydney Botanic gardens, although no-one seems to know its exact origins. It produces 'fat-fingered fruit'!

Have a look at the botanical drawing comparing fruit of some of these.

Microcitrus garrawayi

Totally agree. I don't think either actor would see it "below" him to appear on TV.
If they
wanted to make it easy/cheap, I could imagine them recycling movie footage of the actors (on a video screen even) and just having SLJ or RDJ do simple voice overs would do the trick.
I think it would also be a way to 'promote' an upcoming marvel movie if they then had a character from that movie in an episode of S.H.I.E.L.D in some capacity around the time the movie is coming out.

Help on the following would be appreciated!
Instructions say "dc2tog over next 2 ch". I'm assuming this means start the dc2tog in the first chain, skip chains 2 and 3, then finish the dc2tog in the 4th chain. Can anyone verify this?
Thank you!
"Dc2tog over next 2 ch" is worked into two chains in a row. So you will start the dc2tog in the first chain and finish it in the second chain; there are no skipped chains. I hope this helps.
Thank you for your help and response. It confirms what I discovered over much trial and error last night. What is confusing is that the same book, on a previous pattern, simply describes it as "dc2tog" while this new pattern I'm learning describes it as "dc2tog over next 2 ch". Because they changed the way they wrote the instructions, I figured something needed to be different in carrying them out. Thank you again!
Toni is right. I can understand your confusion on the word "over".

Venkatesh Prasad's role vital in 'Sachin...Tendulkar Kadu': Director
Former Indian cricketer Venkatesh Prasad, who is making his cinematic debut in upcoming Kannada-Telugu bilingual "Sachin...Tendulkar Kadu", will be essaying an important role of a coach, says its director S. Mohan.
"Prasad's role is very important in the film. We haven't roped him in to capitalize on his popularity, but because of the story. The story revolves around an autistic boy who aspires to become Sachin Tendulkar. Venkatesh plays his coach in the film," Mohan told IANS.
"Since the story revolves around cricket, I thought having real cricketers would make it even more authentic," he added.
Child actor Snehith will play the role of the autistic boy, while actress Sushasini Maniratnam will be seen in the role of his mother.
"We have already started shooting with Prasad. His camraderie with the boy will be one of the highlights of the film," said Mohan.
Medium fast bowler Prasad represented India in 33 Tests and 161 one-day matches in his seven-year long career.

The Waldo Canyon Fire tested El Paso and Teller counties, the Ute Pass Region and Colorado in ways that few had ever imagined. During this terrible crisis, Ute Pass communities, including Green Mountain Falls, came together to defend our homes and property from the ravages of a dangerous wildland fire. We watched in awe as our first responders held the lines and kept us safe.
This event made it necessary for Green Mountain Falls to take our inter-governmental relationship with El Paso County to a new level. Prior to the fire we worked together to help make the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority successful. Green Mountain Falls was an active participant in the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments as well as the Storm Water Task Force.
Relationships with our neighbors have always been something that we value. However, the fire brought those relationships to a new and different level. It tested our resources and it stretched us. During the fire, El Paso County stepped out and provided assistance to Green Mountain Falls when it was needed most. For that, we will always be grateful
Most believe the crisis is over when the fire has been contained. But the Hayman Fire and its post-fire impacts on infrastructure in the burn area remind us that recovery from the Waldo Canyon Fire is going to be a lengthy process.
To that end, we continue to work closely with our neighbors in both El Paso and Teller Counties. Green Mountain Falls will remain committed to serving our citizens.
It promises to be a tough summer for us here in the Ute Pass area. The potential for floods and fire can't be understated. Sustaining these inter-governmental relationships with our neighbors allows us to prepare together.
As we look toward the busy summer and fall seasons, it's important that our community builds upon the lessons learned from last year's disaster. Please let me know if you have ideas to share on how our town can be better prepared in the future.
Together, we are stronger and better able to serve the citizens of Green Mountain Falls.

The Hamster Dance Web site has spawned an eerie, disturbing music video. After racking up over 17 million visitors for the jiggling animated rodents, the page found its way to unsigned U.K. band the Cuban Boys, who sampled its infectious yodel for an April 27 appearance on Britain's John Peel show.
... in the Scope section
... from December 3, 1999
The looping riff -- titled "Cognoscenti Vs. Intelligentsia" -- instantly became Peel's most-requested record since the Sex Pistols' mid-'70s hit "God Save the Queen," and the hamsters were on their way to fame and fortune. Almost overnight, the Boys received a recording contract with the Pistols' label EMI. As the band's official site tells us, it was "one year and three days after the band were formed in a cloud of cynical insanity." What next, but a hamster-y music video?
The video involves a baby found in a watermelon and has a creepy, lifelike hamster in a rolling plastic ball opening its mouth to sing the familiar refrain. But is it the same hamster? Careful listeners complain that the telltale yelp -- Dee dee dee, doo doo, doo-doo doo -- has been recreated, presumably to avoid copyright issues over the original 9-second clip, a speeded-up sample from Walt Disney's heavily-protected soundtrack for their 1973 cartoon Robin Hood.
Other subtle differences have crept into the various samples. The song still includes the same closing, presumably the sign-off from a children's show. ("And this is your Uncle Dan saying good night. Good night, little kids, good night.") But it has apparently eliminated Uncle Dan's next line. "We're off? Good, well that oughta hold the little bastards."
Still, delighted listeners insist the song is a shoo-in for John Peel's "Festive Fifty" come Christmas. And they've already begun posting lighthearted messages on the Cuban Boys' fan board:
"News Just In: Hamsters, angry at the plagiarizing of their sacred song, have been holding mass demonstrations in Trafalgar Square. A spokesperson for the irate hamsters said 'please be careful not to stand on us.'"
There really is no holding the little bastards.

Chrome Pop-Up / TDAdd
Thanks for the task update fix. Now my Pop-Up Box is blank (lower right portion of the screen) - the TD Add email button brings up a blank Pop-Up Box.
The TD Pull-Down Box (next to the URL bar on the top of Chrome) seems to be working - the button does not add emails to that mechanism, however.)
Something I need to reset to get it working again?
All responses
Hi Brent,
Please clear the cache for Chrome. Top right corner, 3 lines, Settings, Show Advanced, Content Settings, All Cookies & Site Data, Search for Todoist. Remove all.
Let me know if it still occurs.
I delete 4 items which had "todoist" related to it.
The pop-up is still blank.
I right clicked and had it reload - graphics and functionality are in place, but now it thinks it is a new process - asking whether I want to add my first project (text box with arrow up to the upper left).
I think if you can tell me how to point it to my existing data or log in to my existing data, I might be good.
Okay, I logged out and logged back in and it appears to be working.

Lost mobile game now available
As promised in last year's TV Squad post, Gameloft has released a mobile game based on Lost. Players will re-enact familiar island adventures and experience new ones as Jack, who is hilariously described by Gameloft as the "charismatic hero" of the series. Many of the settings, characters, and plotlines from earlier episodes are recreated for the game. Gameloft's official site (see above link) includes screenshots, downloadable wallpaper and screensavers, and a demo of the game's first chapter.

Bourgeois's leap of faith was not rewarded. According to Chicago Park District historian Julia Bachrach, Bourgeois's sculpture "did not fare well in that location. It was exposed to the intense winds of Lake Michigan. It was in a heavily used area. It was in a low setting with poor sight lines. It not only deteriorated, but the art work was also the victim of severe vandalism." As reported by The Reader's Martha Bayne and Jeff Huebner, the sculpture was attacked at least twice - with the fingers on one of the hands chopped off as if they belonged to someone who had failed to pay back a juice loan. The Art Institute, which bankrolled the sculpture, and the Park District, which placed it, threw in the towel and removed the piece to a Park District warehouse.
Benjamin Franklin Ferguson decided to establish a $1 million endowment for the installation and perpetual care of public art in our city more than a century ago." Ferguson's largess, valued in the tens of millions in today's dollars, funded 20 individual works, from Lorado Taft's Fountain of Time, to the Henry Hering monumental reliefs on the Michigan Avenue bridge, Henry Moore's Nuclear Energy at the U of C, and Isamu Noguchi fountain along Columbus Drive, which has fallen into a state of neglect where even its owner, the Art Institute, appears to have forgotten it's there. (You can find photographs and full descriptions of all the Ferguson Fund commissions on Jyoti Srivastava excellent Public Art in Chicago website, here.)
"In 2006," says Bachrach," the Ferguson fund covered the cost of moving the artwork, sending the damaged pieces back to Louise Bourgeois so that they could be recreated by the artist, who was then in her 90's. The other pieces went into storage. For several years, "the project was tied up in good old political bureaucracy"
Chicago Women's Park and Gardens to the Park District. Mimi McKay is the landscape architect who originally designed Chicago Women's Park for the city and she very graciously helped us identify the location for the installation and advised us on some of the landscape issues."

Chicago's oldest house, it's celebrating its 175th anniversary this week with an all-day symposium this Wednesday, September 28th, and a Family Day, Saturday October 1st offering free mini-tours, folk music, period fashion and other events.

Perhaps nothing is so fraught with significance as the human hand, this oldest tool with which man has dug his way from savagery and with which he is constantly groping forward.If you want to see more, here's an execrably shot video of excerpts from Saturday's ceremonies, complete with vertigo-inducing camera movement and thumbs and fingers over the lens. It might be better if you just listen. (I really have to take the time to teach myself how to shoot extended videos on my Canon T2i.) Suitably, for a monument whose history and substance carries ambiguities between hope and despair, the day oscillated between a persistent drear drizzle and short bursts of blue sky and bright sunlight.
I have never since been able to see a number of hands help upward, even when they are moving rhythmical in a calisthenic exercise, or when they belong to a class of chubby children who wave them in eager response to a teacher's query, without a certain revival of this memory, a clutching at the heart reminiscent of the despair and resentment which seized me then.

Compass is an online magazine, designed to inspire, inform and entertain on the subject of travel in its broadest sense.
Discover the country by air, travelling in light aircraft, or by land, either with your own private driver/guide or on a self-drive basis. Read more about self-drive in Namibia.
Namibia is a vast wilderness of stark, arid landscapes, rugged coastlines and ever-changing colours. It contains the oldest desert on the planet, the world's highest sand dunes and second largest canyon, carved by the Fish River.
Namibia has a wide choice of accommodation, from character guesthouses and boutique hotels to first-rate safari lodges. For the adventurous, a mobile camping safari is recommended, staying in dome tents and dining al fresco under the stars.
In the remote north west of Namibia, covering an area of 2 million hectares, is the Skeleton Coast National Park. Its desolate, eerie yet dramatic scenery features coastal dunes, shipwrecks, huge seal colonies and flocks of pelican and flamingo. The Caprivi Strip in the far northeastern corner of Namibia has an environment similar to the Okavango Delta, and can easily be combined with a visit to Botswana.
Southern Namibia
Travelling south, the Sossusvlei sand dunes are a photographer's paradise. These majestic dunes can be explored by vehicle, on foot or by hot air balloon. Further south lies the spectacular Namibrand Nature Reserve. Drive through the red dunes, explore the ancient hunting spots of the Bushmen or take a nature walk or hiking trail.
The camping safaris vary in length from 4 to 15 days and venture off the normal tourist routes. Shorter trips can be included as part of a longer self-drive or fly safari, or a longer trip makes a worthy holiday on its own.Travel in the latest custom built 4 x 4 Land Rovers, equipped with huge sliding windows and roof hatches, accompanied by a guide. The safari guides are dedicated conservationists and have an intimate knowledge of the country. The itineraries can be taken as a group (up to six clients) or on a private basis, offering complete flexibility.Travelling off-road, and exploring dry river beds and breathtaking landscapes, you will have the opportunity to get close to nature, away from other visitors and tour groups. Stay in comfortable domed tents, which feature metal-framed beds, solar bucket showers and long-drop toilets. Dine al fresco on delicious bush cuisine.

MGH Hotline 10.02.09 Encouraging the active participation of patients in their own health care is an important component of patient safety.
MGHfC encourages everyone to "Speak Up"
Making the rounds: From left, Kelleher, Solemina and Israel
Encouraging the active participation of patients in their own health care is an important component of patient safety. This year, as part of an effort to promote patients' and their families' involvement, MassGeneral Hospital for Children (MGHfC) joined the "Speak Up" program, an award-winning initiative developed by the Joint Commission together with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, to encourage patients to take a role in preventing health care errors by becoming active, involved and informed participants of their health care team.
The MGHfC Speak Up program is led by a multidisciplinary committee of caregivers, quality and safety administrators, and members of the Family Advisory Council. Their goals include engaging staff, patients and families in quality and safety initiatives and developing practical strategies to address quality and safety concerns. The group conducts weekly inpatient rounds, speaking with the parents of pediatric patients about their child's care experience. All information is logged, and items requiring follow-up are acted upon immediately.
To date, the members of the Speak Up program have captured descriptive, quantitative and qualitative information from the rounds. They have spoken to more than 50 families and 25 staff members, gathering valuable feedback to improve care and safety.
"The Speak Up program is part of an overall hospitalwide effort at MGHfC to support a culture of staff partnering with patients and parents to ensure safe, high quality and efficient care in a family-centered way," says Esther Israel, MD, MGHfC Inpatient Quality and Safety director, who co-leads the program.
Adds Mary Lou Kelleher, RN, MS, pediatric nurse specialist and co-leader, "It's always nice to hear that we are doing a good job, and families share this readily. However, we feel our efforts are most successful when the family has a constructive suggestion to improve care and we can take immediate steps to make it happen."
For more information about the Speak Up program, contact Kristen E. Solemina, MPH, MGHfC Quality and Safety manager, at 617-726-0295.

Ps will the last person to jump please turn the lights off and set the demo charges because us average joes never want to see this level of corruption ever again.

Stop with the cut off chicken head routine people, do some research and quit being reactionary. Also if you are worried go bitch slap your government, do not talk about it just go do it. If there really needs to be talking..... that needs to be done. It should be about how to put the government, banker and army complex into submission.

What is a Showrunner and What Do They Do?
If you're just starting to learn about TV production and you come across the word "showrunner," you may think that the showrunner is the title of the unpaid intern who makes the early morning run to Starbucks for a mocha latte.
As you learn more, you start to get the sense that the showrunner is an extremely important person in the production of a TV show. But you've never seen the showrunner listed on the credits, so you're not sure exactly who they are and what they do.
The title actually says it all: the showrunner runs the show.
They are the top writer/producers of a series, and they are responsible for supervising and overseeing the writing staff, cast, and in some cases, the crew. They are also responsible for all of the creative elements of the series. It's their show, and they don't have to answer to anyone except the studio or production company that hired them.
So, if they are so important, why haven't you ever see the credits for a showrunner on screen?
You don't see this because the formal title for the showrunner is executive producer. If you ever watch the "making of" portions of a show's DVDs, you will realize that the executive producer is often the creator of the show, and may even write some of the episodes. In fact, some executive producers, such as Aaron Sorkin (West Wing & Network News), write most of the episodes. Whether they write or not, the executive producer determines the course of the series and supervises all the creative aspects of the show. On shows with more complex characters and storylines, such as Grey's Anatomy, Lost, NCIS and Homeland, there is more than one executive producer, and they take turns running the show.
If this job sounds pretty good to you, you may wonder how you get to be a showrunner. In most cases, a showrunner is a person with many years of experience working in TV who started out as either a freelance writer or as an entry level staff writer for a series. If they successfully write a few episodes of a series, they work their way up to story editor, and then executive story editor. Over several years, as they work their way up in the writing department, they begin supervising other writers and have the title of producer, then supervising producer. The more they move up in the writing department, the more involved they become in the physical production of the show. So basically, a showrunner either creates a new series, or is hired to run a series created by a writer that doesn't have the necessary experience to run a show on their own.
So if you are ever lucky enough to get an internship or entry level position on a show, you will know what a showrunner is; and you will also know that, at least for now, it will probably be your job to take his or her order before making your early morning run to Starbucks.

On finding time to read:
"To me, that's my relaxation. I don't get the stimulation that I get from books from television, the same way my brain works, and so at night, I'll get into bed and I'll read off the bat. Living in New York again for so long, the subway was great for reading. I read in the car on the 405 [in L.A.] Traffic's so bad, I have plenty of time."

ENGLEWOOD -- Broncos coach John Fox, is in line to become the 40th coach in NFL history to record 100 victories. Counting the postseason, Fox is 99-86 entering the Broncos' game Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs in the regular season finale at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
What sets Fox's record apart is he won eight games, including one in the playoffs, with Tim Tebow at quarterback during the 2011 season. He's won 12 more so far this year with Peyton Manning at quarterback.
"I've had a great staff, great players," Fox said. "A lot goes into that. It's not one guy. They put it on your record or tombstone or whatever, but I just happened to be head coach during that. But there's a lot of efforts, and I appreciate all those efforts. We're just worried about this week. We've got a good team coming in."

I've decided to do something about the surface level things that have a bit distracting to me during my yoga practice lately. It may sound silly, but I'm talking about a mani, pedi, hair mask, and exfo. Some yogis would say that they can't believe thoughts about how my skin, hair, and nails look would distract a yogi during practice, but I'm one of those who for some reason or another just cares. Perhaps my style idol (my Grandma), who never left the house with a single hair out of place, had something to do with my je ne sais quoi need to look 'put together' when I go out. Good or bad, superficial or not – I'm getting these little distractions taken care of. You name the spa treatment, it's happening today – at home! This will all be accomplished using the very few ingredients I currently have on hand… sans my potato chips and Thai food leftovers of course.
Not that anyone needs justification for a spa day, but let me just say that these treatments are reflective of yoga in many ways. They allow for metamorphosis, renewal of the self, detox, treating your body as your dream house, personal growth, and cultivation of connectedness with your spirit. Think of butterflies, flowers, serpents, diamonds, and ocean waves… there are so many beautiful reminders in nature as well that exemplify the beauty and importance of transformation.
Seeing as an actual spa day in Santa Monica would require that I stop eating, become a homeless person, and give up my yoga membership, it's simply never going to happen. I'm all about saving a pretty penny or two. So, how about some all-natural, ultra-easy, at-home yogi spa day recipes? From head to toe… here we go!
- 1.5 tbsp organic honey
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tbsp plain yogurt
Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Gently brush out hair, and apply generously to the scalp, and ends. Massage into scalp, and wrap up with a bag to keep the heat inside. Keep on as long as possible, but at least 1 hour. Then wash out with shampoo, and condition hair.

Face Cleanser
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1 Tbsp Baking Soda
- A few drops of water
Combine honey and baking soda in your palm. Rub them together with a few drops of water and then massage gently in circular motions on your face. Then rinse!
Source: Prevention.com; Face Brightening Cleanser
- 1 Tablespoon Pure Virgin Coconut Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Raw Honey
- 2 Drops Tea Tree Essential Oil
Mix the three ingredients in a small bowl. Once mixed, apply the mask on freshly washed face and leave for 20-30 minutes. Once the time is up, rinse with warm water and pat dry with a soft towel and apply an oil-free moisturizer to retain the skin's moisture.
Source: Wadsy; DIY Face Mask.
Body Scrub
- 1/2 cup of organic cane sugar
- 1/3 cup of organic sea salt
- 1 cup of coconut oil {best when it has a
liquid consistency}
- 30 drops of essential oil
Mix the ingredients together in the order listed above, topping it off with coconut oil {add more coconut oil if you like it less dry}. Then, add essential oil and stir with a butter knife. While in the shower, rub the mixture on your skin to exfoliate until ideal skin softness is achieved, then rinse! Tip-the coconut oil may go back to a more solid form, add 1/4 cup of almond oil to create a liquid consistency again or more coconut oil.
Source: DeliciouslyOrganized.com; DIY Body Scrub.
Hand & Foot Scrub
- 1/2 C Sugar
- 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Aloe
Mix sugar, olive oil, and aloe in a bowl or other container until fully blended (no chunks). Apply the mixture to your hands and and feet rubbing in a circular motion until you feel that you have achieved your ideal skin softness or until the sugar dissolves. Rinse your hands with water until you can no longer feel the grains of sugar. Towel dry and apply your favorite lotion if you wish.

I woke up this morning looking and feeling like a less energetic version of Cindy Loo Hoo. Post-spa treatments, I felt like at least $1,000,000 (having spent $0 and never having left the house. WIN!). Always keep in mind that spending time on yourself is worth a lot. Take the introversion time you need. Meditate. Relax. Reflect… Or don't! Zoning out is important too. From one yogi to another, you never need a reason to treat yo self. Go forth, yogi. Make like nature, and renew.

All the latest on the world's youngest royals
TV star Ellen Pompeo unveiled the first public pictures of her new baby daughter on The Ellen DeGeneres Show
The image showed four-month-old Stella wearing a checked shirt matching that of her dad, music producer Chris Ivery
Ellen Pompeo, star of US TV drama Grey's Anatomy, has unveiled the first picture of her four-month-old daughter on Ellen DeGeneres' chat show.
The actress, who plays popular doctor Meredith Grey in the hit series, gave birth to baby Stella on September 15.
And she's clearly thrilled to be a new mum. The 40-year-old could barely stop smiling as she showed off a photo of her daughter in the arms of her husband, music producer Chris Ivery, 42.
And dad, it seems, is just as smitten – the picture showed little Stella wearing a red-checked shirt matching his.
"Chris – he loves dressing her up like him," she said.
"He goes out and buys her clothes that look like his clothes."
But baby Stella is going to have something different to wear from now on.
At the end of their talk, presenter Ellen handed her guest an "I Heart Ellen" babysuit for the tot.
The star's appearance also included a thank-you to her nanny, who helps look after Stella when she was in front of the cameras.
"I couldn't do it without her," she said.
Grey's Anatomy airs at 10pm on Thursdays on Living.

Healthy Drinking Water and Low Lead Compliance
Brass and copper water lines have been used in the US for the vast majority of potable water delivery systems; and with good reason. The copper in brass makes brass germicidal, or naturally antibacterial. The Environmental Protection Agency regulates the registration of antimicrobial products. After extensive antimicrobial testing according to the agency's stringent test protocols, 355 copper alloys, including brass, were found to kill more than 99.9 percent of Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and a number of other harmful bacteria.
Public health and safety is among the many factors to be considered when choosing a potable water delivery system to comply with NSF/ANSI 61 F by the January 2014 deadline. Lee Free products manufactured by Lee Brass enable utilities to meet the 0.25 percent lead requirement and five parts per billion lead leachate. This provides water consumers the healthiest and safest possible lead free delivery system.
Lee Free:
-Manufactured in the USA
-Contains antimicrobial properties that kill bacteria naturally. Not so with all other materials.
-Lee Free offers the most extensive package of cast solder and threaded brass fittings and flanges with 745 line items. It is the most complete low lead package in the world. And Lee Free is NSF 61 F certified.
Recent research overseen at the University of Southampton, UK, has shown that copper surfaces could help to prevent the spread of Influenza A viruses that cause seasonal and epidemic flu infections. According to the UK's Department of Health, about 12,000 people die from such infections every year in the UK. The study was carried out by microbiology researchers Professor William Keevil and Dr. Jonathon Noyce .
Professor Keevil also points out, "Stainless steel is actually rather inert. It is generally used because it is perceived as being easy to use and clean, and does not rust. However, pathogens can hide in the scratch marks and pits if the cleaning is not efficient and regular." By contrast, he says, "Copper is an active surface that kills bacteria by inhibiting the respiration and also destroying the DNA. We believe that it probably has similar broad-spectrum properties for Influenza virus." Tests have shown that even a tarnished copper alloy surface can be just as effective.

Atheism can be belief OR nonbelief.
Yes, there are atheists that believe that there is no God as strongly as fundy xians believe there is one.
However, the vast majority of atheists do not. Most atheists have no belief over it; they do not believe that there is a god, they also do not believe that there isn't. This is lack of religion.I don`t believe that Santa exists, nor do I believe that he does not. Santa might exist. But he probably doesn`t. There are so many things that could exist that something without evidence probably does not.
Therefore, I am an atheist without religion...
