The Return of Ulysses, production still; photo: Johan Jacobs
Museum Brings Artist's Restaging of The Return of Ulysses to San Francisco
Acknowledging the importance of theatrical work in William Kentridge's oeuvre, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) will present The Return of Ulysses, an opera directed by the artist. The Return of Ulysses will run at Project Artaud Theater, San Francisco, from Tuesday, March 24, through Saturday, March 28 (Opening Night Benefit Performance March 25), and is a production of Pacific Operaworks, Seattle, with musical direction by three-time Grammy nominee Stephen Stubbs and puppetry by Kentridge's longtime collaborator, the Handspring Puppet Company of Cape Town, South Africa.
Kentridge's acclaimed reinterpretation of Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria (Claudio Monteverdi's seminal masterpiece from 1640) was first performed in Brussels in 1998. This limited-engagement revival of the artist's original production will be overseen by director Luc de Wit and features actors and musicians, as well as life-size wooden puppets and projections of Kentridge's signature animated charcoal drawings.
Performed in Italian with English supertitles, The Return of Ulysses is based on Homer's Odyssey, focusing on the hero's return to Ithaca after his voyage of more than 20 years. Aided by the goddess Minerva and disguised as an old beggar, he reveals his true identity and power as he routs the unwelcome suitors who have plundered his home and wooed his long-suffering wife, Penelope.
Kentridge recreates Monteverdi's classic for our time by setting the story in mid-20th-century South Africa and placing the dying Ulysses in a hospital ward in Johannesburg. Incorporating the artist's video projections—inspired in part by medical films and images of the body taken from X-rays, MRIs, and angiograms—Kentridge's restaging of the piece adds a fascinating visual world to Homer's epic and Monteverdi's music, highlighting the fine line between internal and external forces within the story, as well as the mortal frailty of Ulysses and all mythic heroes.
The Return of Ulysses is presented in conjunction with the exhibition William Kentridge: Five Themes (on view at SFMOMA March 14 through May 31, 2009) and marks the latest installment of Live Art at SFMOMA, an ongoing series of innovative public programs designed to embrace the event-driven, performance-based nature of today's most engaging contemporary art.

Discovery Days at Jackson Lab draws Naples group, Obama in town
BAR HARBOR, Maine - What's the story behind Jackson Laboratory, based in Bar Harbor, Maine, and considering an expansion to Collier County? Daily News journalists Liz Freeman and Greg Kahn have traveled to Bar Harbor this week to find out. Follow their reports at naplesnews.com and in the Daily News.
Forty Naples residents have traded in Southwest Florida's grueling humidity for Maine's moderate summer weather and the chance to learn more about Jackson Laboratory.
The nonprofit laboratory is putting on its fourth annual Discovery Days event this weekend, when 150 supporters, donors and volunteers get to hear firsthand from some of the 38 scientists about their mouse-based genetic research at the lab.
The weekend trip to the popular tourist destination in coastal Maine, home of Acadia National Park and some celebrities, also carried some mystique for the Naples group and local residents with President Obama and his family's visit to Bar Harbor and the park over the weekend.
In informal lecture settings, Jackson scientists are presenting their research progress that someday could lead to new disease treatment and prevention measures in humans. The event brings in about $100,000 in philanthropic dollars, said Mike Hyde, vice president for advancement.
For some of the Naples residents, the trip offers a hint of what Jackson lab might do if it opens a genetics research institute near Ave Maria.
Collier County Commissioners Jim Coletta and Donna Fiala are attending, taking tours at separate times, before a July 27 vote on whether the commission should go forward with the project and adopt a property tax increase or other measure to generate $130 million in local money as a match to proposed state funding.
"This is once in a lifetime to develop something like this," said Phil Dutcher, chief operating officer of the NCH Healthcare System. "To not take it seriously would be shortsighted."
Dutcher said he worked for a development company in Palm Beach County in 2003 when the Scripps Research Institute was deciding where to locate a Palm Beach-area complex.
"In the end that will prove to be a wise investment for the residents of Palm Beach," he said.
Dick Botthof, a Naples businessman and past chairman of the Economic Development Council, which has spearheaded the Jackson proposal for Collier, said the presentations by the Jackson scientists demonstrate how genetic research is where it is happening and how Jackson scientists are an integral part of it.
Some of the scientists making presentations had been part of a summer scientific educational program for students hosted by Jackson who went on to scientific careers.
"It just gives you a feel for the great things going on at Jackson Lab but more importantly, how they collaborate globally," he said.
Botthof discounts naysayers who criticize the county's efforts with Jackson to foster economic diversification and job growth for Collier. Jackson proposes to create 200 jobs in the first couple of years and hopes to serve as an anchor to attract other medical-related enterprises in its vicinity.
"It just bothers me people who are writing those vitriolic things, they border on unfounded, untrue and unsubstantiated," he said. "If you do what you have always done, you are going to get what you have."
Beyond events at Jackson Lab on Friday, on the edge of Acadia park that the Obamas are visiting this weekend, local businesses displayed the president's "Hope" posters from his 2008 campaign to welcome the First Family.
"It's phenomenal for the area. It's free advertising," said Julie Veilleux, owner of an upscale home and garden accessories store in Bar Harbor's historic district.
A windjammer sightseeing business in the harbor didn't know how the Obama visit was going to affect business although the U.S. Coast Guard had announced closed-off zones, said Kelly Mitchell, the tour business manager.
For certain, pilots offering scenic air flights over Acadia National Park were grounded for the weekend, she said.
Officials with the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce were more than pleased.
"They are happy, definitely happy," Chamber representative Jonathan Buck said. "There is short-term (traffic) frustration but in the long run it is good for showcasing the park and the town itself."

Simon sends Ferrer crashing to his earliest US Open exit in five years
France's Gilles Simon sent Spanish tennis ace David Ferrer crashing to his earliest US Open exit in five years on Sunday with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3 win in New York.
The 26th seeded Simon capitalised on the 52 unforced errors of the fourth seeded Ferrer, who has been a semi-finalist in 2007 and 2012. Ferrer appeared to struggle physically towards the end of their third-round clash, which was just 10 minutes short of three hours.
Simon will next face Croatia's Marin Cilic, who beat South Africa's Kevin Anderson 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, for a place in the quarterfinals. He admitted that he was delighted to have got the better of Ferrer against whom he had lost five times in six meetings, Sport24 reported.
Simon, one of five Frenchmen to reach the third round, said that Ferrer destroyed him five times before, so, he added that he just tried to stay loose and relaxed and enjoy himself on court. But he said that he is tired because the weather forecast said that it would be cooler but did not feel like it during the match.

When I was visiting the "Late Renoir" exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art recently, I marveled at the paintings and sculptures the artist made late in his career. Of course while I was walking from painting to painting, I studied the shape of the foot and ankle in those artworks and I recalled what someone said to me years ago: "The foot and the hand are the most difficult to draw."
Those of us who treat the maladies of the lower extremity are experts in surface anatomy and pathology. However, I considered what it would be like to not have the intimate knowledge our profession gives us and how difficult it would be to recreate, for example, the fifth toe in a drawing. Would it be an overlapping toe, an adductovarus toe or an underlapping toe? How is the foot traditionally represented in art?
After some research, I found a fascinating article from 1897 by E.H. Bradford, MD, who discussed the various representations of the foot in sculpture.1 He compared the shape of feet in art in shoe wearing and non-shoe wearing societies. He described three foot types that were seen in sculptures and paintings.
There was the Egyptian perspective in which the toes are poker straight and no hallux valgus deformity is evident. There is the classical (Greek and Roman) view, which is best represented by the foot of Hermes by Praxiteles (http://ubiqx.org/~crh/Photos/GeekCruise04/Katakolon/PA120074.JPG [1] ). In the classical view, the great toe is separated from the second, the middle three toes are parallel but diverge 30 degrees from the axis of the foot, and the fifth toe is in adductovarus.
Then there is the modern perspective in which the foot is copied from the classical type with the fifth toe being "distorted" and set back more proximally. Figure 1 is a photo I took from the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia. Beyond what Dr Bradford observed and wrote, today's artists are able to create the lower extremity anatomy of the human body with astonishing detail (http://www.pteropus.co.uk/gymnast_page.html [2] ).
Going one step further (no pun intended), I thought about the shoe and its representation in art. In my mind, shoes are art and the best place to see not only the history of footwear, but also its role in society is the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. If you would like to stay stateside, then make an appointment to see 250 of the 900 shoes in the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine's Shoe Museum. This will give you a whole new appreciation of the craftsmanship and the culture involved in making the devices to shelter the already deformed looking fifth toe.
So when I am able to return to the sculpture halls of the Louvre, the British Museum or the Metropolitan Museum of Art again someday, I know I will be focusing on that sculpted fifth toe all thanks to Dr Bradford.

Specific Aims of the Project
This is a quality improvement demonstration project whose aims are to: 1) improve and standardize physical and psychosocial/spiritual care approaches to the alleviation of suffering for all patients in the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) and their families; 2) strengthen staff education and support programs to assure that every trainee and practitioner in the MICU is exposed to state-of-the-art palliative care; and 3) generate, publish, and otherwise disseminate useful evaluation data about transferable improvements, thus allowing us to serve as a model for other ICUs. The study design is a pre-post intervention Quality Demonstration Project.
Our hypothesis is that a set of clinical and educational interventions will promote the integration of patient-and-family-centered palliative care practice into the medical intensive care unit (MICU).

Vasectomy - series
Normal anatomy
The vas deferens are thin muscular tubes that carry sperm from each testicle to the urethra.
Vasectomy is the surgical division of the vas deferens. Vasectomy prevents sperm from being released into semen during ejaculation, thus preventing pregnancy. Vasectomy may be recommended for adult men who are certain that they wish to prevent future pregnancies (permanent sterilization). Vasectomy is not recommended as a temporary or reversible procedure. Vasectomy is usually done in the surgeon's office while the patient is awake but pain-free (using local anesthesia). A small incision is made in the upper part of the scrotum, under the penis.
The tubes (vas deferens) are tied off and cut apart. The skin incision is stitched closed. The patient is able to return home immediately. The surgeon will usually check a sperm sample a few weeks after the vasectomy, to ensure that no sperm are present in the semen.
Vasectomy is a simple, painless procedure that is very effective in preventing pregnancy. Men usually have no side effects from vasectomy, and no change in sexual performance or function.

My Mom's my biggest fan when it comes to my scrapbooking and craft projects. Even if what I make is hideous, she loves it anyway. Even though she probably has a whole closet full of cards and things that I have made her throughout the years, I made her another birthday card. :)
It's hard being away from her on her special day, but hopefully soon she'll move close to us so we'll get to spend every birthday with her from now on.
Here's another birthday card that I created this week, just for fun! Paper is Crate Paper, letters are American Crafts and Pink Paislee, die cut is Heidi Swapp, flowers are Prima and Zva Creative, pearls are Zva.
The tree skirt! Sewing it was really easy, a little time consuming but not bad.
The stockings. They look a little droopy now, it happened after our stockings were full of presents and then emptied. I'll have to iron them before we put them up again next year. Making these was really fun! A little tip though, make sure to wear a face mask while you're sewing with burlap. The little particles from the burlap were flying around everywhere, my sinuses hurt for a couple of days after I was finished!
I decorated the lights on our tree with small squares of white tulle and bought the burlap ribbon at Hobby Lobby for $10. I cut banners out of vintage music paper and strung it on twine. I spent about $10 on new garlands for the living room and our new decor was complete! I already had ornaments for the tree and some of our relatives send us new ones every year. Plus Alex always makes a couple of new ones at school each year, they always end up becoming my favorites, of course!

Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton Sizzle on ACM Awards Red Carpet: Picture
Country music's sexiest power couple, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, hit the red carpet at the 2014 Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday, April 6 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Lambert wowed in a nude Swarovski crystal-covered Randi Rahm gown with her wavy blonde hair cascading down her shoulders. Her adoring husband of almost three years wore cowboy boots, jeans, and a black vest and jacket.

The "Boys Round Here" crooner co-hosted the evening's ceremony with pal Luke Bryan, and both he and his wife were up for numerous honors including the coveted Entertainer of the Year title.
After her husband had to leave her side for his hosting duties, Lambert posed with friends Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, and Voice contestant RaeLynn.

"It seems to be in every major newspaper and I am receiving lots of emails and phone calls from supporters," Baum said. "I appreciate the people who supported me in the campaign, and I believe it goes to show that every vote really does count."
Baum said he also believes it's time to consider consolidation as only 15 percent of registered voters went to the polls.
"It would take 311 signatures on a petition to force the village to go to a public vote on whether or not to dissolve the village. I am surprised that in a hotly contested race such as this, there [weren't] more people who came out to vote."
As for the outcome, he said his opponent Hopkinson has served the community well for over 52 years and is certain he will continue to do so.
Mayor Mark-Paul Serafin said he's just glad everything is resolved.
"The three trustees can be sworn in [April 4]," he said. "And we can keep moving forward with village business."

Not Paying the Devil His Due
Persons attempt to avoid financial transactions totaling $6.66.
[Collected via e-mail, June 2009]
My next cube neighbor at work related a story of his daughter driving to the Smokies this past weekend. Heading from Cincinnati to Knoxville they stopped at the last Kentucky exit and found the Arby's. When the cashier added the bill the total came to $6.66. When the cashier saw this number, she exclaimed, 'O, my God!' and rushed to get the manager. He said, 'I won't have that on my machine' and gave the customer a 10% discount that reduced the total to $5.99.
While most Christians appear to take 666, the putative "number of the Beast," with a grain of salt and even feel quite comfortable making jokes about it, there are those to whom it's no fit matter for levity. Those of such persuasion will, as a matter of course, spurn (or at least think twice about) transactions that would require them to handle sums of money totaling of $6.66.
According to traditional interpretations of the Bible, 666 is the mark of the Antichrist, a figure who will appear at the end of times to lead an army of followers into battle against the faithful:
[Revelation 13:18]
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred, threescore and six.
"The Beast" refers to the Antichrist, of whose followers Revelation says will be emblazoned with his name, with said mark placed either on their right hands or on their foreheads:
[Revelation 14:11]
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
[Revelation 13:16]
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.
The mark so described is one necessary for the commission of commerce — those lacking it will be precluded from purchasing or vending anything:
[Revelation 13:17]
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Given Revelation's stated connection between acts of commerce and the mark of his name that the Antichrist
will place on his people, it's small wonder that some who take their Bibles seriously work to avoid having to deal with 666 in any situation involving money, lest they inadvertently number themselves among the Antichrist's legion of followers by taking his mark into their hands or, alternatively, commit an act of blasphemy by willingly handling the proscribed sum. Remember, said mark will be placed either on the hands or the foreheads of the Antichrist's minions, thus voluntarily taking a representation of that mark into one's hands is especially problematic.
Consequently, some people are reluctant (even extremely so) to handle sums of $6.66, either as amounts they're disbursing or as change being received (e.g., the residue of a
$20 bill
used to pay for purchases totaling $13.34, or a
$10 bill
used to buy an item costing $3.34).
While such trepidation may be far from commonplace, it does exist, as these examples demonstrate:
[Collected on the Internet, March 1994]
Well, i used to work as a checker at a supermarket in Pennsylvania. Sometimes i'd ring up an order that totalled $6.66, and often the customer would tell me to add a packet of gum or something... anything to change the total!
[The New York Times, August 1997]
The other day I was in that agora of Southern life, the
and when the woman in front of me had her purchases totaled up, they came to $6.66. She became hysterical. The whole store became hysterical. We all had to chip in and give her enough money to buy another pack of cigarettes — anything to undo that terrible number.
[Collected on the Internet, January 1998]
heh, funny thing was at my job, there was this freaky bible thumper woman who worked as a cashier, she was so into Christian Supremacy it was starting to scare me. Then one day she got a total of $6.66 on an order and had a nervous breakdown.
[Collected on the Internet, April 2000]
About 12 years ago, when I was a cashier in a
I had more than one customer freak out when their bill came to $6.66. Two that I remember went back and got a small item to avoid the evil number. Sheesh.
[Vallejo Times Herald, June 2006]
Take it from a guy who grabs a box of
Tic Tacs
at the store when the bill comes to $6.66.
[Collected on the Internet, June 2006]
I was in a supermarket check-out line and the total bill of the woman ahead of me came to $6.66 US and the poor dear nearly flipped. She immediately made another purchase so that it was over seven dollars and not those bad three sixes.
There are even those who extend their personal $6.66 prohibition to all monetary sums ending in that number:
[Collected on the Internet, December 2007]
The grocery bill was 36.66 and the mother said "Quick! Add on something else". and grabbed some gum to alter the total.
As the above examples note, there is a remedy to the $6.66 dilemma: Add an inexpensive item to purchases that would otherwise total the Beast's number, thereby altering the amount.
It's a seemingly little thing to do, and possibly quite laughable to many. Yet there will always be those who will not feel comfortable taking any sort of gamble where the Antichrist is potentially concerned.
Barbara "speaking of gambling, the sum of the numbers on a roulette wheel (1 to 36) total 666" Mikkelson

Danehill Colt Sets Magic Millions Record
Magic Millions managing director Don Hancock said "Given the world circumstance of the latter part of last year, we considered it business wise to expect a sizeable fall in results and we astutely budgeted accordingly".
"Obviously we did not want to see a drop in the clearance rate, because it means more yearlings did not sell, but we did catalogue 47 more lots than last year", Hancock said. "It is pleasing though that the average price has held up so well and overall the sale was solid enough".
"We did see too many yearlings come to the sale backward in development, and some vendors had unrealistic reserves".During the auction's third session on Saturday, a Zabeel--Warning Express colt and a Timber Country--Valourina filly each brought $310,000. In all, 85 horses were sold during the third session for a gross of $3,536,641, an average of $41,489.

Nigerians hardly ever agree on anything. But one thing on which there is total unanimity is this: Nigeria lacks good governance.
Even beleaguered President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will agree to this and so, in their heart of hearts, will his hired mouthpieces, Reuben Abati and Doyin Okupe, as well as people currently in and, most especially, now out of government.
For the politicians in opposition, under the leadership of the likes of Muhammadu Buhari, Bola Tinubu and Bisi Akande, it is an article of faith that Nigeria is poorly governed.
Others who regularly affirm this lack of good governance are public figures like Oby Ezekwesili, Ibrahim Babangida, Olusegun Obasanjo, Femi Fani-Kayode and a cast of millions in Nigeria and worldwide. Let's not even mention Wole Soyinka.
In addition, whenever two or three Nigerians are gathered in one place, and they are quite finished arguing about Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal and other teams in the English soccer Premiership; they will turn to the sorry state of affairs in Nigeria and totally agree that the country is horribly governed.
Of course our "leaders" will point the fingers of blame at all others. Everyone else is at fault, except themselves. However, in the quest for good governance in Nigeria, it is time for everyone to look in the mirror and, to paraphrase the famous words of America's music genius, Michael Jackson, "Start with the man (or woman) in the mirror."
By any reasonable standard, Nigeria has plenty of money.
Nigeria has plenty of people, including good, intelligent, hard-working people.
Nigeria has very good climate, weather and vegetation, with rains and sunshine.
Nigeria has plenty of other necessary attributes, resources and assets.
Yet, for the most part, Nigeria is a poor, ramshackle, decrepit and disorganised place, where hardly anything functions properly, if at all.
So, what is missing here? Good governance — that is what is missing.
What we do have plenty of — with very, very few exceptions — is bad governance. Very bad governance. At best, Nigeria has clueless, ignorant and illiterate governance. At worst, Nigeria has corrupt, inept, appalling, atrocious and even downright malevolent governance. Like Nigeria's petroleum, its governance is crude. Its leadership is obtuse; its functionaries are indolent, lackadaisical, selfish and self-serving.
Wait, it gets worse. This gubernus horribilis (to coin a phrase) is possibly the most expensive on earth, as the prestigious Economist magazine of London is my witness. The proportion of its national budget that Nigeria spends on its governance is criminally large. Of what is left, a large part is embezzled, mismanaged, or just simply stolen. Everybody knows this. Nigeria has so many Ministers, Advisers, Houses of Assembly and chiefs, senators, state Governors, commissioners, councillors, etc, etc, ad nausem. Then we have parastatals. Lord, do we have parastatals!
The government spends more funds on itself than it spends on economic and social well-being of the people it is supposed to govern and who, let's face it, own the funds. Nigeria's Presidency has more aircraft than some African countries' national carriers. The Oil Minister has her own official airplane.
The ministers, Assembly members and Senators rake in more money in salaries, emoluments and allowances than the President of the United States and certainly more than the members of the United States Congress. Whereas, obviously America is many times richer than Nigeria. America's citizens and residents receive services from their government that Nigerians cannot even begin to imagine or dream of.
What, you might ask, do Nigerians get in return for this horrendously expensive governance? We get very little, if any services at all. Services that should be taken for granted are either poor or non-existent. There are many towns and villages where it will be difficult for you to find any evidence of the existence of government or governance whatsoever – except at election times when they shamelessly come to all nooks and crannies to solicit votes. After that, they disappear, like the comet, not to be seen again – until the next elections.
Do these so- called Nigerian leaders have any shame? The obvious answer is: No, they have no shame. By all accounts, Nigeria should be one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Our principal income earner, petroleum, sells for (let's just say) over 100 dollars a barrel. That's about 16,000 naira. We sell roughly two million barrels a day. You do the calculation, to see what Nigeria rakes in daily. Still, some 70 per cent of Nigerians live below the poverty line. No wonder outsiders ridicule us, saying Nigeria is a rich country full of poor people. Nothing is responsible for this paradox but poor governance, dishonesty, corruption and mismanagement.
An evidence of Nigeria's mismanagement and corruption is a recent Federal Government delegation that went to China. They sent 13 ministers and four state governors, as well as a correspondingly large contingent of their senior staff and assistants.
You have most likely heard of the Committee on Rationalisation and Restructuring of the Federal Government's Parastatals and Commissions, under the chairmanship of Mr. Stephen Oronsaye. The committee reports that Nigeria has 541 federal parastatals, commissions and agencies. So the Committee, in a report which is said to be 800 pages long, is proposing the abolition of 36 agencies, the merger of 52 and a reversal of 14 to the various departments in the various ministries, to which they belonged. That will be progress, but it will still not go far enough.
Nigeria has 541 Federal Government agencies; but please tell me: how much of an impact have these agencies made on the people in your hometown? I'll bet it is practically nil.
It is being speculated that the government might act on this report and scrap 221 of the agencies so that there will be "only" about 300.
Recently one of the elder satesmen from the North, Maitama Sule, joined the call for "a revolution" as a way out of Nigeria's "decadence and regression, which manifest in injustice, crushing poverty, rampant corruption, joblessness, profligacy and other maladies in the country."
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo , in a similar vein, said the nation is "likely jinxed or cursed". Nigeria is one of the world's most fervently religious countries.
It is time Nigerians helped God to heal, repair and develop Nigeria. Inasmuch as God will not personally descend with a hammer and chisel to physically repair Nigeria, it is time for its leaders and citizens to chip in and help God in this important task
So, let us begin. And the place to begin is for all our leaders to look in the mirror, and start with the image they see in it.

Gloria Estefan looks stunning on the cover of Latina magazine's August 2012 issue!
The 54-year-old Cuban superstar (who looks much younger than she actually is), gets candid in the magazine's yearly music issue, talking about her successful marriage to producer Emilio Estefan, the devastating car crash that almost took her life, and why money can't buy happiness.
"Forget the money and the notoriety, because you don't take that home and put it to bed with you," Gloria tells Latina. "What difference does it make if you have all this fame and people are clamoring for you and you're off that stage and you're home alone?" she says.
So, what does make her happy? Her long-lasting marriage to music producer Emilio Estefan.
"We are partners in everything," Gloria says. "Emilio has been there for me and I've been there for him and his growth. It's been a great balance."
And, after several decades in the business, Gloria also tells Latina what it means to her to continue to be a source of pride and inspiration to millions of Latinas.
"Inspiring Latinas is the most beautiful side product of my career," she explains in the interview. "It's a beautiful thing to inspire somebody in some way and make them feel, 'I can do this.'
As for her career, Gloria says she never got into the music business to become famous.
"I've been so blessed to do what I love, and my personality has never been about becoming famous," she explains. "The fame is something you deal with because of the career."
The August 2012 issue of Latina magazine hits newsstands on July 10th.
Cuban born actor, Andy Garcia earned his star in The Hollywood Walk fo Fame in 1995. Garcia earned an Oscar nomination for his role in "The Godfather Part III" and a Grammy as producer of "Ahora Si" by Israel "Cachao" Lopez. More recently he played the role of Terry Benedict, the casino mogul, in "Ocean's Eleven" and it's following sequels. Garcia will appear in the movie "Hemingway and Fuentes", which will be released in 2012, in the role of Gregorio Fuentes.
Aguilera, who's father is originally from Ecuador, was awarded a star in The Hollywood Walk fo Fame in 2010. In 1999 she had three number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100--"Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants", and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)."
The Mexican-American rock star was immortalized in 1998. Santana is known for his guitar-playing skills and he became famous in the late 60 with his band "Santana". He was a pioneer in mixing Latin rhythms, jazz and rock. In 2003, Rolling Stone Magazine named Santana number 15 in their list of 100 greatest artists of all times.
George Lopez, of Mexican descent, was awarded a place in The Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2006. He is known for starring in his popular ABC sitcom "George Lopez". He is also known for his stand-up comedy which examines race and ethnic relations, focusing in Mexican American culture.
The Estefans share one more thing other than their Cuban descent and their undeniable musical talent. They both have star in The Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Gloria got hers in 1993 and Emilio got his in 2005. The power-couple has been married since 1976 and have been producing great music ever since.
The Mexican singer, known as "El Rey De Rancher" ("King Of Ranchera Music") was awarded a star in 1998. Fernandez, who started singing at local restaurants and events, is now not only a famous singer, but a cultural icon. In 2002 Fernandez was recognized by the Latin Recording Academy as Person of the Year.

'Person of interest' in custody in Georgia
Anderson Police Department investigators have identified the "person of interest" involving the choking deaths of two Anderson women and are currently questioning him in Georgia.
But the Anderson Police Department is currently withholding his name because no warrants have been issued for his arrest, and the case is still under investigation.
Investigators are still questioning witnesses and following up on leads, according to a statement from the department.
Police were searching for the "person of interest" in connection with the deaths of Asha Wiley, 27, and Kwana Burns, 28. Ms. Wiley was found Tuesday morning dead in her bedroom at Belton Woods Apartments. Ms. Burns was found Thursday morning dead and bound in her bedroom on Tribble Street. The cause of death for both women has been ruled asphyxiation.
Police started searching for a "person of interest" and his vehicle Thursday after obtaining surveillance video from a Shell station at the intersection of Whitehall and Mall roads in Anderson. Ms. Burns was seen on the video interacting with a man in a burgundy later 1980s model Buick.
The man was arrested late Friday night for a minor traffic violation while driving his car in Georgia, said Linda Dudley, spokeswoman for the police department. Authorities are not yet releasing the name of the agency that arrested him.
"Based on phone record analysis, we were able to track him into Georgia," she said.
Anderson Police Department investigators are now in Georgia questioning the man.
"We are trying to find out what information he may or may not know about the deaths of Asha Wiley and Kwana Burns," Ms. Dudley said.
Both cases are still under investigation. Anderson Police are still asking anyone with information about either one of these cases to call Crimestoppers at (864) 231-STOP or Sgt. John Zamberlin at (864) 231-2289.

The table editor screen in EasyTable Pro has a range of additional features - click on the thumbnail to see an annotated screenshot of the Easytable Pro Table Editor.
The rest of this article quickly reviews the key features annotated on this screenshot and provides links to related articles and FAQs.
EasyTable Pro allows you to modify the structure of your tables. Click on the "Modify Structure" button in the toolbar to reveal the tools that allow you to remove, add or edit field attributes.
EasyTable Pro adds the ability to append new records to your table in addition to replacing existing records (the default behaviour in EasyTable for J!). To add new records you simply click on the radio button "Append" and upload your CSV/TAB file as you normally would.
EasyTable Pro has expanded preferences per table. As with standard Joomla practices the preferences you set at the table level over-ride the preferences set at the global component level or the menu level. EasyTable Pro has updated and useful Tooltips for each preference item.
Amongst other preferences EasyTable Pro includes a preferences to:
- restrict access to table based on a users Joomla ACL.
- control the display of pagination controls before and after the table
- control the availability of in-page sorting.
EasyTable Pro lets you edit the alias of fields. Field alias' are used for CSS classes and IDs allowing you target specific table elements in your templates CSS.
See this FAQ for an example of what you can do with EasyTable CSS classes.
EasyTable Pro includes a plug-in to allow Joomla's built-in search function to search your your table content. In the editor you can control whether a table is searchable by Joomla, and which fields can be searched within a table.
EasyTable Pro support "Field Options" and "Tokens" to help you add formats to field values or create advanced links. For further reading see this article and this FAQ for more on field options and tokens.
EasyTable Pro allows you to set a Global, Menu or Table preference controlling the display of any records from a linked table in the current records detail view.
EasyTable Pro allow you to filter records in your table against the users ID or Username. It does this by matching the value in a selected column to the current user object Joomla provides. ( If a user isn't logged in the ID defaults to 0 )
EasyTable Pro now supports long table descriptions - so long infact that you could write an article in the description field. ( The table description field now uses the Joomla! text editor you have set as the default in your website — the screenshot shows styled text with hyperlinks using JCE. )
EasyTable Pro now provides handy toggle controls that let you turn On ( √ ) or Off ( X ) all fields in the List or Detail View columns or in the Search column with a single click. Or you can Flip ( F ) the settings in any of those columns (ie. if a field is marked as On it will flip itself Off and vice-versa.)
EasyTable Pro! Subscriptions
EasyTable Pro! Subscriptions are available for 1 or 3 months.

Separated by the Badung Strait some 15Km off the southeastern coast of Sanur on Bali are the enchanting trio islands of Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan, and Nusa Penida. Here, one will find the pristine beauty of unspoilt white sandy beaches, exhilarating waves, crystal clear waters, stunning natural rugged beauty, and picturesque sceneries away from the vibrant sounds and vivacious atmosphere of Bali's southern coast.
Beneath the surface, the waters around these islands present their own jaw-dropping sensation and are the playground to some of the most fascinating creatures of the deep sea, the prima donna being the rare giant ocean sunfish: Mola Mola.
Being the nearest from the mainland and most developed island for tourism among the three, Nusa Lembongan is approximately 8 square km in size, and is truly an island paradise. Neither hawkers nor traffic mar the magnificent scenery; this is a fine place to just lay back and relax. Jungut Batu Beach, located in the northwest is a lovely arc of white sand and clear blue water with a superb view of Mount Agung on Bali. This is the area which traditionally attracted backpackers and surfers to the island. Mushroom Bay to the southwest of Jungut Batu is a quaint, attractive and sheltered bay. Further south, the lesser known beaches either side of the Devil's Tear outcrop (A rocky outcrop on the south western coast with spectacular crashing waves and water plumes), are known as Dream Beach and Sunset Beach (or Sandy Bay). The coastal landscape in this part of the island is mostly low-lying limestone cliffs, and there are some dramatic cave formations.
Nusa Lembongan was first opened up as a tourist destination by surfers, and it has long been an established part of the Bali surf circuit. There are three main breaks, all off the top half of the west coast, with another less well known just to the southwest off Nusa Ceningan. Playgrounds, Lacerations and Shipwrecks are all close offshore and reached via an energetic paddle from the beach, or in a more leisurely fashion, by a local boat (jukung) which can be chartered from the nearest beach. Whilst the breaks usually suit intermediate to experienced surfers given they all break over coral reefs, the aptly named Playgrounds is a little more forgiving and can be enjoyed by beginners and experts alike. There is a thriving surf scene in Jungut Batu. When compared to its tiny population, Nusa Lembongan has produced a remarkable number of international competition-quality surfers. Any keen surfer will certainly not be short of company here.
Nusa Ceningan is the tiny island between Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida, which is easily reached via the suspension bridge on foot or by bicycle/motorbike. There is a notable surf break off Nusa Ceningan which attracts some surfers away from the more crowded breaks on Nusa Lembongan. Otherwise the island offers some scenic roads and paths, and the westward views back over Nusa Lembongan to Bali are impressive. Viewing the sunset over Bali from the central Ceningan ridge is very much worth the effort. The estuarine channel between Lembongan and Ceningan is home to many seaweed farms.
Totalling some 200 square kilometres, Nusa Penida is the largest of the three islands. There are many quiet and secluded white sand beaches along the north and northwest coasts of Nusa Penida. Highlighting the geographical features of the island are limestone caves, spectacular high coastal cliffs with karst formations and offshore pinnacles in the south and east, and rugged hill tops in the high centre. As an addition to West Bali National Park, Nusa Penida has also become bird sanctuary for endangered Balinese and Indonesian bird species, including the critically endangered Bali white Starling (Leucopsar rothschildi).
Dive with Mola-Molas
Fusing the three islands into one fascination is the splendor that lies beyond the crystal clear blue waters that surround them. These waters are best known among some of the world class diving destinations. The rich waters around the three islands support no less than 247 species of coral, 562 species of fish and Green and Olive Ridley Turtles. With its adjacent deep water trenches, the main stars here are the spectacular and very rare gigantic Oceanic Sunfish or Mola- mola. Mola-mola is the heaviest known bony fish in the world and can grow to over 2 meters long. They have large, blunt heads, heavy bodies and stubbed tails, with elongated dorsal and ventral fins that can span up to 4 meters.
If elsewhere divers are lucky to meet one Mola, here they can dive with three or more of these strange fish, since these are the Mola's "cleaning stations". Here the warm currents of the Indian Ocean meet the cold currents from the South Pole and Australia, creating the favored streams and temperatures for the Mola, who frequent these seas to have their bodies picked clean by the multitude of cleaning fish that abound in these waters.
Sharing these seas with the Molas are white-tipped reef sharks, nurse sharks, hammerhead sharks, and large Manta Rays that can also be found here.
There are more than 20 identified dive sites around the islands, the most notable being Blue Corner, Ped, Crystal Bay, Manta Point, Toyapakeh, Suana Bay, Ceningan Point (Ceningan Wall) and Malibu Point. There are some challenging drift dives here, and dive operators will visit certain sites only when sea conditions are safe. There are also plenty of options for easier flat reef and wall dives as well. Non-divers should not feel left out, as good snorkeling is available close inshore at various spots around the islands.
Since currents are strong here, divers should stick to groups. Many good divers have been carried by the currents almost to the open ocean that leads to the South Pole before being rescued.
From the extraordinary encounters with the giants of the deep sea, exhilarating rides on the ocean tides; to gazing the spectacular sunset on the indulging white sands, the islands of Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan, and Nusa Penida are truly a pristine paradise just a boat ride away from the fabled island of Bali.

Last week, I joined a number of my colleagues in attending the 2012 Partners in Community Forestry Conference in Sacramento, California.
The Foundation sponsors the now-annual gathering, which gives urban forestry professionals from around the country the chance to reconnect with peers and share best practices.
Increasingly, community trees and how we care for them are seen as integral to effective growth and development and improved quality-of-life in our nation's cities.
California, with 95 percent of its population in urban areas, is at the forefront of that discussion, due in part to two recent state laws.
The first, AB 32, requires California to develop a plan for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. The second, SB 375, asks communities to build housing and transportation system in ways that further those emission reduction goals. Growing and maintaining tree-rich neighborhoods is part of how these laws will be implemented.
"It's sort of a one-two punch going on there," said presenter Connie Gallippi, senior policy consultant for the Sacramento-based Conservation Strategy Group. "I think we'll see a good deal of funding come into urban forestry from this."
I had a chance to see these opportunities during a walking tour of two of Sacramento's neighbors: Davis and West Sacramento. Though reduced to one full-time city forester, Davis has a robust and healthy tree canopy and an involved citizenry. West Sacramento got a later start, but is in the midst of a number of innovative projects, including planting along major thoroughfares and in medians to enhance commercial districts and improve storm water management.
But whether it's the shading of our homes, cleaner air, vibrant main streets or improved health – none of these benefits will reach their potential unless they are communicated to a broader audience.
"We're good at putting our programs together and being successful and really poor at telling our story," said Ray Tretheway, executive director of the Sacramento Tree Foundation. (He's also a past Sacramento City Council member and Arbor Day Award winner).
The tie-in to regional planning and great cities almost writes itself, if only urban forestry advocates make their stories known to the right people.
Despite tough financial times, "money still follows great ideas and the people behind them," said panelist Craig McMurray, managing director of corporate development for Capital Public Radio.
That summarizes the sentiment of the conference well: big challenges, coupled with enormous opportunity.

The Magazine
Nervous in Baghdad
From the July 25, 2005 issue: Do Americans have the will to stay the course?
Jul 25, 2005, Vol. 10, No. 42 • By AUSTIN BAY
I took his chair and proceeded to read two-dozen emails, from Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia, including a note from a young woman working on border control issues in Afghanistan. On an amphib warship 20 kilometers off Kuwait, I hit a half-dozen websites and scanned the latest Beltway hoopla. Though I was "over there," "back here" headlines dominated cyberspace. An alarming number of them these days betray impatience with our progress in the war on terror. It leaves you wondering if anyone in Washington--at least anyone in the Baby Boomer political class--knows what it takes to win a long, tedious, unavoidable war.
Success in the war on terror may strike New York Times readers and CNN viewers as a radically optimistic notion. The worst haters of America and its counteroffensive against terror--following the lead of Abu Musab al Zarqawi, al Qaeda's man in Iraq, and Britain's hard-left buffoon, George Galloway--acknowledge no conceivable measure of success. After all, they want America to lose. Every car bomb in Baghdad, they will say, just creates more terrorists, and America's war on terror reduces to the soundbite "blood for oil."
Galloway-Zarqawi critiques are the latest embodiment of anti-American themes with deep roots, dating back to Soviet Cold War propaganda. The connections ain't theory. Terrorist organizations in the Middle East--the initial crop largely Palestinian--were armed and trained by the Soviets. The Soviets, in concert with Arab clients like Syria and Nasser's Egypt, promoted the Arab-Israeli conflict as an American conspiracy. These Cold War Soviet sources of anti-Americanism receive scant attention, but they are the foundation of the jihadists' information war, and fuel the conspiracy theorists at www.democraticunderground.org--cranks the Howard Dean wing of the DNC exploits for their money and votes. The bottom line for Galloway-Zarqawi types: Any event on the planet--real or imagined--that dishonest rhetoric can connect to either the United States or Israel always creates more terrorists.
Less implacable critics of the Bush administration recognize two negative metrics implying a degree of success in the war on terror: (1) There's been no use of weapons of mass destruction by al Qaeda and its allies and (2) no second 9/11 has occurred on U.S. soil. More careful and generous analysts remember the Afghan elections of October 2004, then an Orange Revolution in Ukraine, then an election in Palestine, then the ink-stained vote in Iraq.
The truth is, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Horn of Africa, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Southeast Asia, and Pakistan are all arguably successes in the making--slow, incremental, 1.01-steps-forward-one-step-back successes, where the enemies are tough, determined, and often well-financed. To call them snakes insults reptiles, but they die slowly, and they are vicious in their agony.
ON JUNE 23 CENTCOM commander General John Abizaid told a Senate hearing that the Iraqi insurgency was at "about the same" strength it was six months ago. "I believe there are more foreign fighters coming into Iraq than there were six months ago. . . . We see good progress in both Iraq and Afghanistan . . . but we are realistic. And we know that great change is often accompanied by great violence." I was still in Afghanistan, so I missed the general's performance. The pictures I saw on the web show the burly, intellectual Abizaid as a cool and serious senior officer, a kaleidoscope of military ribbons draping his dress green uniform.
I did get to hear Abizaid on June 16, while waiting at the East Gate of the U.S. Marine base at Falluja. I was in Iraq again, this time with a note pad and camera instead of a pistol. My flak vest was a black police SWAT jacket, more svelte than the heavy, plated monster I wore last year while racing along Baghdad's Route Irish (see "The Millennium War," The Weekly Standard, January 3 / January 10, 2005). The temperature was approaching 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which didn't bother me so much. Last year I'd humped Baghdad at 130. The dust, however, irritated me. Abizaid--wearing desert camouflage, a flak vest, and his 1st Ranger Battalion combat patch--looked thoroughly composed, displaying the earned gravitas of the superior combat commander who knows dust, gripes, mistakes, direct fire, and writers come with the job.
He glanced at me out of the corner of his eye. I had no idea what was coming. Then, I swear, I knew.
"The mood of how this war is going in Baghdad and Arab capitals is better than in Washington and London," Abizaid said. Déjà vu all over again, though with dust this time, and no roll: It's the conversation with the naval officer.

Comorbidity refers to the coexistence of two or more distinct disorders or syndromes in the same individual. Research findings are presented showing comorbidity of externalizing (aggression and delinquency), internalizing (anxiety, depression, somatic complaints, and withdrawal), and attention problems. Comorbidity is discussed within the conceptual framework of the categorical classification system of DSM diagnoses and a quantitative taxonomy based on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and Teacher's Report Form (TRF). High comorbidity rates are reported for DSM diagnoses of conduct disorders with oppositional disorders, affective disorders, anxiety disorders, and attention deficit disorders. High comorbidity also was found for paired combinations of the CBCL and TRF Aggressive Behavior, Delinquent Behavior, Anxious/Depressed, and Attention Problems syndromes. Implications of comorbidity are discussed for determining special education eligibility and designing school-based interventions.

A good point, but he just as quickly turned around and said that some of the actions of their for-profit competitors are "unfortunate." He says that some of these competitors are seeing it as simply another market to compete in, not a humanitarian project. That could lead to fears that if players like the OLPC were pushed out, the costs would rise – directly against what the goal of the project began as.
The OLPC project has seen a lot of progress, recently getting a pilot program started in Peru and getting retail backers like Amazon. One of their biggest competitors will be Intel in the years to come.


text: September 9, 2013 By Lucia Tigri-Brown on 9th September 2013, in Fashion, Fashion & Beauty, Fashion Week Heading up New Zealand Fashion Week this year was Wellington-based designers Twenty Seven Names. As always, they did not disappoint, with classic well-cut garments in navy and white, as well as earthy red and green combinations. The prints were styled together with white socks and black brogues, giving the show a tailored, preppy feel. Trelise Cooper's young hipster label Coop showcased high-tech fabrics in metallic sheens, with fun fur and short full skirts. While the collection isn't for everyone, I predict the bold colour palette of hot pink, chilli red, and black and white geometric prints will provide some great inspiration for all ages next winter. Company of Strangers are no strangers to cutting edge fashion. Setting the tone by showing in a hotel car park, the cleverly placed seating made the viewer feel as though they were sitting in a concrete bunker. Sticking to their roots of well-draped, oversized silk chiffon in white, green, mustard, and, of course, black, the structured garments were styled with chunky wedge boots and edgy bags. A personal favourite of mine, Hailwood, has come so far from his days of printing t-shirts. Hailwood kicked the show off with sexy day wear, including slim jeans, classic shirts with wool jackets and capes, as well as his signature bird print, which added a fun, quirky appeal, and paid homage to his roots. Metallic pointy pumps kept the style casual, but sexy. He then shifted up a gear with his vintage-inspired dresses in opulent, shimmering, lush fabrics. Andrea Moore packed a punch with block colours, pairing bold blue with vibrant pink and berry knits, as well as orange and yellow accessories. Letting the colour do all the talking, the cuts were slick, classic and beautifully executed. I always look forward to Trelise Cooper's show as it pulls huge crowds. This year, Trelise had an elevated stage with a stunning silk tent, suspended from the roof. Gone are all the boho frills and oversized bows in bold prints – this time, Trelise has taken a more structured, slick approach. As always, however, I loved the leather jackets and leggings, as well as the strong use of checks and stripes. To sum up fashion week this year, classic tailoring is where it's at, while bold colour is replacing complicated prints, creating collections that, as a whole, are very accessible and functional. Next winter, I recommend investing in a couple of tailored items, such as a jacket, coat, dress or pants, and layer with simple knits. About Lucia Tigri-Brown more of this author

Improving the Success Rate of Large Capital Projects
A good planning process is not sufficient to achieving a successful outcome. The key to success is a project team's ability to recognize and integrate seemingly disconnected elements into an overarching executional approach that enables systemic risks reduction and an increase in the probability of positive outcomes. Thanks to more than 200 years of experience developing capital projects, DuPont has been able to group those elements into a handful of key success factors . . .

Even in today's fashion-conscious NBA, Knicks star Amar'e Stoudemire manages to stand out for his winning and eclectic approach to style. He knows when to mix a well-played pop of color, texture, or pattern into a tailored look, and also when to pull back and play it cool (unlike a few of his more over-the-top contemporaries). We talked to Amar'e about his look, his philosophy of style, and — most importantly — what he does when he's feeling "rockstar status."
How would you describe your own look?
My approach is contemporary—I go off what I feel, and I try not to do too much. I make sure it's clean and classy and it fits my character.
Describe for me how you put a look together for an event like the ESPYs.
It all depends on what type of image I want to portray. If I feel "rockstar status" I'll throw in a pair of All-Stars with a nice suit, or if I feel more contemporary I'll throw in a nice tailor-made suit. It all depends on how I feel in the moment. With my style I'm very versatile, so I'm able to mix up a lot of different looks and styles.
How has your style evolved over the past couple years?
It's more mature. When I started off as a teenager, I was wearing things that teenagers wear, and now that I'm 29, 30 years old I wear a different style now. The older I get, the more my style changes.
How do you expect to be dressing differently two years from now?
I don't know, man, I hope in another two years I'll have some overalls on, on my land, being a farmer [laughs]. But it all depends on where I'm at in my career.
Who's the most stylish man in the NBA these days (present company excluded)?
I like the way Kobe Bryant dresses. It's very contemporary, very easy. He's not doing too much. It's always good to see a little class with fashion.
What's one thing every guy should be wearing right now?
This summer's more about loafers. Nice loafers — and a nice watch.
What is the best style advice you've ever received?
Be yourself. Don't try too hard. That's advice to anyone who's trying to become stylish. Don't try too hard — it shows.
What's the best meal you've ever eaten, and why?
My vegan diet is the best. It's not easy, and I find myself going off and on, but the plant based diet I feel is the healthiest and cleanest way to eat.
Who would you like to see featured as a Man of Style?
David Beckham. I think he should be next.
Great idea. Mind giving him a ring for us?
I'll send him an email [laughs].
