In 2008, I was passing through Sydney for a couple of days, and decided to visit the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the city's major art museum. It was a Wednesday evening, the one day of the week when the museum stayed open late.
What I found when I arrived there was stunning. One of the biggest crowds I had ever seen at a museum was queuing up, in a line that snaked down a long hallway and up a level of stairs. What is everyone waiting to see? I wondered.
The crowds were there, I eventually discovered, for a painting by Vincent Fantauzzo, a young artist from Melbourne.
Fantauzzo's painting was entered in competition for the Archibald Prize, Australia's most prestigious art competition for portraiture. The artist had painted his friend, actor Heath Ledger, in a haunting triple image. Shortly after Fantauzzo finished the painting, Ledger died of an accidental overdose in New York City, and the painting became a sensation.
"The whole experience is kind of surreal," said Melbourne-based Fantauzzo, who currently has an exhibition of his work in Ho Chi Minh City, at the Y Ngoc – Si Hoang Gallery at 135 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia in District 1. "Even [Heath] felt like it was going to do something special. 'This painting is going to change things.' That was one of the last things he said to me. In a lot of ways I feel like he handed me this gift."
The painting, which shows a shirtless somber-faced almost dazed Ledger in the foreground, being whispered to by a pair of more playful versions of himself, drew record crowds to the NSW Gallery.
The Archibald Prize exhibition became one of the top 10 most visited exhibits of the year worldwide, and it put up-and-coming Fantauzzo onto the art world map for good.
"Even today I get at least an email a day about that painting, from obscure places. I get email from students in Africa that are doing an assignment on it. I guess it hit some kind of nerve. It's a strange feeling to know that you created something that connects to people like that."
Looking for connections
"Connect" is a word that Fantauzzo turns to frequently when talking about his art. His portraiture seems to find an eerie kind of rapport with his subject, as in the haunting Ledger painting or his equally celebrated portrait of the young Brandon Walters, the aboriginal boy who starred as Nullah in Baz Luhrmann's film Australia.
Other images have a mysterious, open-ended quality that lures viewers in. Their dark shadows and cinematic staging is a style his friend Luhrmann, who briefly joined Fantauzzo on this trip to Vietnam, describe as "Caravaggio goes to the noir cinema."
"Each painting is like a still from a moment, and there's a story that goes before and after that still," Fantauzzo said. "I like people to be able to interpret them in their own way and relate in their own way, to spark a memory from a movie or from their own experience."
Fantauzzo's portrait of Ledger won the Archibald People's Choice Prize in 2008. He followed up by winning the 2009 People's Choice Prize again for his Brandon Walters portrait, again drawing overflowing crowds.
The current exhibition in Vietnam features 26 of Fantauzzo's paintings (not including the original Ledger portrait, however, which has become part of the permanent collection at the Art Gallery of New South Wales).
Inspired by Vietnam
This is the first stop on an Asian art tour that will travel to Bangkok in October, Singapore in November, Mumbai in December and Shanghai in February next year.
It was a Vietnamese gallery owner in Hong Kong, Donna PhuocNguyen, who convinced Fantauzzo to first come and check out Vietnam a couple of months ago. He was instantly struck. "As soon as I got here, I was kind of taken by it," Fantauzzo said.
"Just the first drive from the airport was so exciting. I found it very energetic and honest, I found the people very real. So we started to strategize about how we could come back and have an exhibition."
The question of how to bring his work to a larger audience was something that had already been on Fantauzzo's mind. "You have an exhibition - it opens, closes, and nobody else sees the work," he said. "So we tried to come up with an idea where we could show the work in a whole lot of different places. I can't make enough work to show everywhere I'd like to go, so why not tour? Once we decided that, Vietnam was the place I personally wanted to come and check out the most."
Baz Luhrmann, the Australian director of celebrated films Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge, said he too was immediately taken by the energy of Vietnam: "I thought, 'Mm, I haven't felt that before.' It's increasingly hard to have that experience. So much of the world looks the same now, but Vietnam is still off the radar enough to be very interesting."
Fantauzzo said he's finding Vietnam an inspiration. He wants to come back and do "Thirty Portraits in Thirty Days," a project he recently completed in Hong Kong. "I'm also carrying a camera everywhere in Vietnam and hope I can create a series of works based on my experiences here," he said. "There's so many things I want to do - I don't know where to start."
As Fantauzzo talks, you can almost see the wheels turning behind his eyes.
"I have so many ideas I can't sleep at night," he said.
Vincent Fantauzzo's Asia Tour 2009 runs to September 6th at Y Ngoc – Si Hoang Gallery, 135 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City.

The Andover City Council Jan. 15 unanimously approved a request by a property owner to store 3,000 cubic yards of black dirt on the east side of Hanson Boulevard and about a half-mile north of 161st Avenue.
Dennis Kuiken received a conditional use permit (CUP) from the council on Jan. 17, 2012 to store 11,000 cubic yards of shredded tires on his property on the east side of Hanson Boulevard at 16563 Hanson Blvd. N.W. The Anoka County Highway Department needed these shredded tires for fill under Hanson Boulevard. This CUP required all this material to be removed by July 1, 2012.
When Hanson Boulevard was torn up for the overlay project last year, Kuiken had the opportunity to get sand, so he obtained a CUP from the council on April 17, 2012 to store 10,000 cubic yards of sand.
Kuiken said the sand was potentially going to be used as fill for an access road to get to landlocked properties east of Hanson Boulevard. The city considered purchasing 10 acres from Kuiken and 40 acres from James Selmer and Hazel Blanchette in this area under its open space preservation program. But because of the amount of wetland mitigation that would have been required on the potential road easement, the city has dropped its pursuit of these properties for now.
At the Jan. 15 meeting, Kuiken said he had thought the Nov. 2, 2012 deadline to remove the sand would be too soon, but luckily he was able to sell it to North Pine Aggregate.
At that time, Kuiken had the opportunity to get dirt from North Pine when it was hauling back and forth. His plan was to create a berm to block his equipment from the view of Hanson Boulevard traffic, but when he found out he was getting black dirt, he decided to stockpile it and sell it. He said his brother had built a berm without a permit and he thought he was meeting the city's requirements.
"I should have called to check anyway, but I didn't," Kuiken said.
Community Development Director David Carlberg said the city requires a CUP when more than 400 cubic yards of fill is being stockpiled.
Kuiken said he would grade out the area in the spring so it looks nice and said the black dirt being stockpiled may be gone by the end of next year, but he requested a deadline of July 1, 2014 just in case.
Councilmember Julie Trude was the only one who had voted against Kuiken's previous CUP request to stockpile the shredded tires because she was concerned about the safety of the community by having all this flammable material in one location. The tires were split into separate piles and other precautions were taken to meet the Andover fire chief's orders.
In this case, Trude said she was not worried about safety, but was concerned about aesthetics.
"Maybe it's something we should be regulating better because it's more the appearance to people driving through the community when it's all lined up like that along the road," Trude said. "But it does seem to go with this line of work."
Trude said there are a lot of sod farms in the area, so she wondered whether they need CUPs.
Carlberg said sod farms are permitted uses in agricultural areas just like vegetable farms are permitted. The stockpiling of dirt of more than 400 cubic yards required a CUP, but it is not required for the sites they bring the fill to.
Carlberg said the city is looking at setting up an interim use permit application process, which can be processed quicker.
"I think it will be a lot easier in the future to come in for land reclamation, mining, stockpiling once we get into the interim use permit regulations," Carlberg said.

Statistical Cost Analysis of the Existing North Dakota Country Elevator Industry
The grain elevator industry is an essential and integrated part of the marketing system in North Dakota. A more efficient marketing system can benefit society either in the form of increasing producer income through higher grain prices, reducing consumer expenditures through lower retail prices, or both. The grain marketing system also is currently moving through a period of change brought on by a larger supply of grain, proposed branch line abandonment and deregulated rail rates. The purpose of this study was to analyze the cost characteristics of the elevator industry and determine the relative efficiency and existence of economies of size during the 1978-79 period. A statistical costing method was used to empirically analyze the cost structure of the country elevator system as it existed during that period. Few elevators were found to be operating near the minimum average cost. Decreasing average total costs were apparent within the elevator industry indicating the existence of economies of size.

Lowe to Portray Prosecutor Jeff Ashton in Film Based on Ashton's
Book about High-Profile and Controversial Caylee Anthony Murder Trial
LOS ANGELES, CA (May 3, 2012) – On the heels of his acclaimed role in the hit Lifetime Original Movie, Drew Peterson: Untouchable, Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award nominee Rob Lowe will star in the new Lifetime Original Movie Prosecuting Casey Anthony (working title). Lowe will portray Jeff Ashton, the Florida prosecutor in last year's controversial Caylee Anthony murder trial and author of the best-selling book Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony, upon which the movie will be based.
Prosecuting Casey Anthony will reveal Ashton's inside story of the true crime drama that captivated and then shocked the nation when Caylee Anthony's mother, Casey, was acquitted of killing her daughter, despite what many thought to be overwhelming evidence of guilt. The movie will be seen from Ashton's (Lowe) perspective and take viewers behind-the-scenes of both the investigation into Caylee's tragic death and the ensuing trial, shedding new light on the many questions of what happened to the two year-old girl, how Ashton and his fellow prosecutors built their case and why a woman so shrouded in suspicion was proclaimed innocent. With in-depth information about the case and the accused, Prosecuting Casey Anthony will examine what the prosecution got right, what they got wrong and why Ashton remains convinced of Casey Anthony's guilt.
Regarding the announcement, Rob Sharenow, Executive Vice President, Programming, of Lifetime Networks, said, "We're thrilled to have Rob returning to our network, after his amazing star turn as Drew Peterson. He's one of those rare stars who can do it all, comedy, drama, heroes and villains. There are very few actors in the history of our business who have been able to have such success on such a broad range."
Prosecuting Casey Anthony will be executive produced by Jean Abounader (Lifetime's We Have Your Husband, Held Hostage) and Michelle Manning (The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles). Peter Werner (Justified, Medium) will direct the screenplay by Alison Cross (Rizzoli & Isles, Raising the Bar). The film will be produced by Fox Television Studios. Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony is published by HarperCollins.
In January, Lowe starred in the Lifetime Original Movie Drew Peterson: Untouchable, which averaged 5.8 million Total Viewers, becoming basic cable's most watched original movie premiere in two years since the network's The Pregnancy Pact in 2010, as well as this year's number one movie telecast across basic cable among all key demographics.

The no-logo tent tour ignited a wider discourse on the politics of Radiohead.
Not everyone was impressed. More than just solidifying Radiohead's anti-globalization sentiments, the no-logo tent tour ignited a wider discourse on the politics of Radiohead, where finding contradictions in their political convictions was like finding Waldo.
Similar to the criticisms lobbed at No Logo author Klein, in which she was lambasted for publishing an anti-corporate book through a multinational corporation, Radiohead were (and still are) criticized for being whining hypocritical millionaires. As Douglas Wolk wrote in CMJ, "The punch line is that, despite Radiohead's all-permeating abhorrence of the ultimate rock-band banality, the consumerist machine […], they've got a more finely honed brand identity than any other band of the moment." Q writer Danny Eccleston shared a similar view: "Logo-free tents or not, Radiohead are bound by contract to the vast global entertainment conglomerate EMI/Time Warner/AOL [sic], and their records do battle with Britney Spears and her fellow synergised icons in the marketplace." And in an essay about the "improbability" of Radiohead's resistance, Davis Schneiderman asked, "How can we be sure that Radiohead, for all of its deliberately muddled articulation and innovative studio work, is not a toll of this same endlessly looping beat of the marketplace?"
Even Efrim Menuck, of Canadian group Godspeed You! Black Emperor, had some choice words about the band:
"We don't know Radiohead, we've never met them or communicated with them in any way, some people in Godspeed like their music others don't . . . the fact remains, Radiohead are owned, part and parcel, by a gigantic multinational corporation, and their critique of global corporatism is tainted by that one harsh reality."
But if you're worried about Radiohead's feelings, don't be: you're more likely to see them nodding their heads in agreement with these criticisms than weeping under the covers. And despite the fact that many of the marketing decisions were made by the label (and not the band), the contradictions of a politicized artist feeding off the industry it openly critiques isn't lost on Radiohead: "We're screaming hypocrites. No, we are!" admitted Thom to The Wire.
"I've had a very privileged upbringing," said Thom to Mojo. "I've had a very expensive education. And it took me years to come to terms with that. A long, long, long time."
That Radiohead have only continued to prosper both financially and socially could indicate how the seemingly exponential well of do-good-ism from the Radiohead camp may be directly related to this recognition of cultural sway. There's no hiding the fact that the bulk of Radiohead's demands since OK Computer—the marketing of Kid A, the limited touring, the "green" requirements, the distribution method of In Rainbows—were only made possible by their cultural and economic clout. They voice this luxury rather frequently in interviews. "People think we're control freaks, and maybe we are a bit," said Ed. "But there's an awful lot that's just horrible about the process of the music business, and when you're a young band, you can't do much about it. Now we can. And we've stopped having that conquer-the-world sort of feeling. It's less important to us than doing things our way."
Who could blame them? In a time when the channels of mass communication are controlled by only a handful of conglomerates, when subversion has become so dull it couldn't penetrate butter, when opposition to the dominant culture is too often expressed through commodity (buy these pre-ripped jeans and you too can be subversive!), it's no wonder that Radiohead have always kept the industry at arm's length. Appropriation threatens them at every corner, and there has been little wiggle room to freely communicate their ideas, political or otherwise; the industry needs a band like Radiohead to sell both the disease and the cure, and Radiohead know this. While critics like culture writer Thomas Frank believe there is no real solution to this problem but to maintain oppositional autonomy, others like Radiohead feel that some level of engagement is necessary to fight the system within the system, to show faith in the masses to affect mass change. As Johnny Temple, bassist for Girls Against Boys, wrote in his essay "Noise from Underground": "Punks, for their part, need to stop romanticizing isolation, or they may find their political endeavors, along with their music, doomed to perpetual obscurity."
But can Radiohead live with the contradiction? As Thom told Uncut:
"Not really, I'm pretty touchy about it. But if you want to actually have your record in a shop, then you've got no way round it because you have to go through major distributor and they've all got deals and blah blah blah. There isn't a way around it. Personally, one of the reasons that I wanted to be in a band was actually to be on the high street. I don't want to be in a cupboard. I write music to actually communicate things to people."
Clearly, Radiohead's desire to communicate their ideas trumps the threat of appropriation and commodification. Swallow the contradictions, and the critiques will circulate more widely and more vigorously than ever possible outside of the mainstream. As with the band's seventh album, 2007's In Rainbows, Radiohead were not trying to disengage from the industry; they were simply engaging with it on their own terms, underscoring the symbiotic/contradictory dialectic of their subversions within the very industry that sustains them.
Which is precisely where we get to the stakes of Radiohead's Trojan Horse approach to the industry: given all the energy the band puts into the process of releasing and promoting their music, is their subversive behavior even effective? According to Klein in a 2001 interview with Hot Press magazine:
"I guess the testimony for me is that I know, in a way that I think few people can know, how much they have politicized their fans because they come to my lectures. There are always three people in Radiohead T-shirts in the front row of every lecture I do. Like, every single ... and I get a lot of letters from them as well, particularly after Kid A first came out, saying, "You know, I usually don't read books like this, but I did, because I read that the band read it." And I think that everybody needs entry points, everybody needs doorways. […] I have a tremendous amount of respect for the way they've chosen to do this. Not as preachers, not politicizing their music, not telling people what to do, but just providing gateways, and portals, and bridges."
While Radiohead have had to fight for cultural space in order to provide these gateways, portals, and bridges, they have at the very least prevailed in relaying political insights to their fans without being patronizing or overbearing. Sure, they weren't able to entirely shirk co-optation and appropriation, and sure their political efforts didn't influence every fan to chuck bricks at the powers that be, but the cultural spaces in which Radiohead voiced their critiques ensured not only that the industry machinations generated during OK Computer wouldn't be repeated but also that subversion in the mainstream, however dubious or contradictory, was still possible on the artist's terms. And similar to what No Logo provided for Ed, Radiohead's engagement with the industry gave their fans "real hope" for a more democratic future.

Everybody is excited about top prospect Matt Wieters, and rightfully so. He dominated the competition just about everywhere he played last year, which makes it easy to imagine he will do the same at this level as soon as the Orioles allow him to join the major league starting lineup.
Of course, that's a possibility with a young player of his potential, but there is only one logical reason to push him out there on Opening Day and there are plenty of good reasons to send him to Norfolk to dominate another level of the Orioles player development system.
The reason you start him ASAP is because you need people to come back to the ballpark after more than a decade of attendance in decline. He's got a chance to be the catching version of Evan Longoria and who better to lure back a disaffected fan base?
The reasons you don't:
1. He's not ready, which is something the Orioles have to care about even if you don't.
2. He needs more experience handling pitchers and it won't hurt him to get another hundred minor league at-bats.
3. He's got six years under club control and you don't want to waste a minute of that on a false start.
4. The O's can actually increase that to nearly seven years by holding him back for a couple of months.
I'll stand by for all the angry and sarcastic barbs about the Orioles caring only about saving money, but there's more to it than that. There is real economic and strategic logic in slow-playing Wieters, since his effort this year -- no matter how good -- probably would not have a major impact on the competitive potential of the team.
If he turns out to be as good as everybody thinks he might, then keeping him tied to the Orioles for his seventh year in the majors is way more valuable than having him in the lineup for every minute of his first year at the big league level. Scoff at the front office for thinking that way if you want, but it makes perfect sense.

House GOP Takes Crass Partisanship One Step Further
House Republicans have repeatedly refused to act to #RenewUI for the nearly 2.4 million jobless Americans have lost unemployment insurance benefits – a critical lifeline which helps them feed their families and keep a roof over their heads as they try to get back on their feet with a new job.
Today comes the news that maybe House Republican leaders will bring a bill with a short term extension of UI to the floor but only if they add permanent tax cuts for special interests. From Roll Call:
Sessions said the five-month extension could serve as a partner for House-passed bills and other priorities, such as a permanent extension of so-called bonus depreciation for business investment.
"I'm engaged in conversation with others about putting accelerated depreciation on," Sessions said.
It is apparently not enough for the GOP to do the right thing because it will benefit their constituents back home and strengthen the local and national economy.
Who is hurt by the Republican refusal to #RenewUI?
VETERANS: 270,000 veterans are among the 2 million unemployed workers who've lost access to federal unemployment benefits.
CHILDREN: This cut off has harmed more than 1.2 million children in affected families.
WOMEN: Long-term unemployment among jobless women workers is increasing. In February, the share of unemployed adult women searching for a job for six months or more grew to 37.7 percent up from 34.8 percent in January.
ECONOMY: The GOP's failure to #RenewUI cost the economy nearly $5 billion through March.
193 House Democrats have signed the discharge petition to force a vote on extending emergency unemployment insurance for the millions of Americans who are searching for work because nothing is more important than the strength and stability of our nation's workers, their families and the economy.

Best cast iron in the world. The original non stick cookware.
I wanted to get a 12" cast iron skillet with matching cover, and Lodge seems to have the best reputation. I was disappointed when I saw how rough they had left the surface, inside around the edge where the bottom meets the sides. The outside is beautifully smoothed but I cook on the inside! Our 10" Old Mountain pan is smoother by far, just as heavy and just as well pre-seasoned. Maybe I'll just try to use a polishing wheel and re-season it... not what I expected.
Thumbs up! Quick shipping too.

LOVE-rat Zayn Malik wraps an arm around Perrie Edwards after a romantic trip
to the zoo.
The One Direction singer took Perrie to Knowsley Safari Park today, and the
date suggests she's all but forgiven him for sleeping with an Aussie
waitress two weeks ago.
Wrapped up in a winter coat, she grinned from ear-to-ear as he pulled her
close for a cuddle.
Perrie tweeted her excitement about the trip, writing: "Had an amazing day
today at @knowsleysafari It was such a good day out! @zaynmalik"
The pair snuggled as they spotted a lioness and her cub from the back of their
Zayn has been trying to win back his girlfriend of one year by accompanying
her Little Mix's tour of the UK.
Earlier this week he was spotted buying her a teddy bear etched with a pink 'I
love you' from a service station in Cheshire.
Just two weeks ago Perrie was knocked for six when it emerged that the 1D star
had bedded an Aussie waitress behind her back.
Zayn romped with Courtney Webb, 21, beneath a drawing of his pop star
girlfriend in the bedroom of his £2.2million mansion.
He had met the blonde, known to friends as CJ, just hours earlier and assured
her he was single
CJ told The Sun: "He's an absolute s***. How dare he — not only to me but to
She said that when she asked about Perrie, Zayn said: "Don't worry about her,
she's on tour. I can do what I the like."
Judging by the beaming smile on Perrie's face, it looks like she's ready to
fur-give and fur-get.

Nathanael Justin McIntosh, the 28-year-old man accused of shaking his infant daughter to death, was sentenced to ten years in prison on March 29 after accepting a plea bargain.
Justin had been caring for three-month-old Jasmine Danae on November 29, 2002, while the baby's mother, Caleena Burch, then twenty, crashed at a friend's house after an all-night drinking binge. Caleena came home the next morning to find four police officers questioning Justin in her Aurora apartment.
While Jasmine lay in critical condition at Children's Hospital, Justin was taken to an Aurora police station, where he "admitted to shaking his daughter until she stopped breathing," according to the arrest affidavit. Two days later, Jasmine died from "complications of severe closed head injury consistent with Shaken Baby Syndrome." Her death certificate also listed "multiple healing injuries consistent with Battered Child Syndrome" ("Angel Eyes," November 6, 2003).
Initially charged with child abuse resulting in death, knowing and reckless, a Class 2 felony that can bring up to 48 years in prison, Justin avoided trial by pleading guilty to child abuse negligently causing death, a Class 3 felony with a sentencing range of four to twelve years. At his March hearing, where he was also given five years of mandatory parole, Caleena had planned to read Justin a letter she'd written to him. But she didn't have it with her, and instead broke down with emotion. In a copy of the letter, which she sent to Westword, Caleena stated the following: "I can't speak for everyone else, but for me it's as if my family, my life, my whole world has been completely destroyed. Even after a full year, I still struggle day to day to find the will to live, and when I do manage to pull myself out of bed, it's like I'm totally incompetent to the ways of the world, and I can't make a good decision to save my life.
"I decided to write this letter in hopes of bringing about some sort of closure no matter how futile an attempt . . .. Why didn't you just leave us? You could've waited till we weren't home and threw our belongings outside," the letter continues. "I wonder why you didn't just knock me around instead. You never once had the nerve to hit me, yet you know I'd have gladly taken it to spare the kids. And then I remember your famous old saying that you had an 'image to uphold.' And so you were such a coward that you had to hit someone who couldn't tell on you and potentially ruin that 'image.'"

It doesn't look as if the two families in a disputed custody case involving another little girl will see closure anytime soon, either. Christopher and Dawne Gomez, the foster parents of five-year-old Rosa Avina, have been trying to adopt the girl almost since she was removed from her biological parents, Ponciano and Priscilla Avina, in 1999.
In 2000, a Denver judge ruled that Rosa remain with the foster parents but that the Avinas retain their parental rights and have visits with their daughter. The Gomezes wanted a second opinion and got a hearing in Weld County by arguing that the Avinas should have their parental rights terminated because they'd legally abandoned Rosa by not paying child support ("Motherless Child," March 11, 2004). However, the judge rejected the motion on March 17, leaving the previous arrangement intact.

Manufacturing Tipped to Continue Losing Ground
China's manufacturing activity may have slowed to an 11-month low in July as new orders fell and the jobs market remained weak, according to a preliminary gauge compiled by HSBC. The flash HSBC/Markit China Purchasing Managers' Index for fell to 47.7 in July from June's final reading of 48.2, a third straight month below the 50 critical point that divides expansion and contraction compared with a month earlier. The employment sub-index dropped to 47.3 in July, the lowest since March 2009. "The lower readings suggest a continuous slowdown in the wake of fewer new orders and faster destocking," said Qu Hongbin, HSBC chief China economist.
China to Offer Subsidies to Ease Cotton Shortage
The Chinese government is working on policies to subsidize cotton farmers to help ease the current supply shortage of the crop, said Gao Yong, deputy director of China Textile Industry Association. A pilot program is expected to kick off soon in the northwestern region of Xinjiang before being carried out nationwide. Cotton sales from the state reserve were poor, with less than a quarter of the 12.1 million tons offered sold on July 16 because the price was too high (19,000 yuan/ton) for so-so quality, according to the China Securities News.
Copper Demand Weakens
China's copper demand is falling as operating rates of copper tube fabricators have declined sharply from 90% in May to 78% in June, driven by seasonality and recently tightened credit, HSBC said in a research report. Spot premium for imported cathodes dropped from $195/ton in early July to $173/ton recently, which the bank believes was driven by softened demand from downstream sectors. Copper inventories in Shanghai bonded warehouses rose from 400,000 tons in end June to 450,000 tons recently.

The same querypreview works fine without the parameter:

Can anybody tell me why this is?And tell me a way to get the tableadapter working?
Anne-Jan Tuinstra
What you can't see in the dataset editor is the datatype of the columns in the sdf database.
It appeared that for the column Schoolindex this is smallint in the sdf.
By changing this to int the nasty Error Message disapeared.

Unicorn TraitsUnicorns, easily identified by the long horn in the center of their brow, are masters of the magic of force, able to exert pressure from a distance with clever mental fingers. Telekinesis: You lose the fingerless quality, being able to use weapons and equipment as well as a normal human. You may use Intelligence instead of Strength for melee attacks or other actions involving a held item, and may grapple creatures more than one size larger than yourself. Distant Focus: You may perform a physical action (such as attacking someone not standing beside you with a sword, picking a lock across the room, or shutting a door) up to 30 feet away. This action must use your Intelligence if Strength would be called for. If the task normally requires Intelligence or Dexterity, you are at disadvantage. You must be able to see what you are working with. Ability Score Increase: Increase Intelligence by 1.

By Katherine Marshall
The body of Simon Bolivar, father of the Latin American revolutions, was exhumed last week in Venezuela. Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's president, is pursuing a hunch that Bolivar died of some nefarious violent act, and not, as the official story holds, of tuberculosis.
The story is a reminder of how deeply tuberculosis, or TB, has been wound up in human history. Through the ages, it was ubiquitous and feared, a slow cruel killer. A passage from the Old Testament illustrates graphically the dread around TB: "The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish" (Deuteronomy 28:22).
In wealthier countries, TB is largely a distant memory. Yet tuberculosis is not dead. The modern epidemic is, in many parts of the world, a leading killer. A new TB infection occurs somewhere in the world every second, and two billion people carry the TB infection (though most of these cases are latent, and not threatening to individuals). It is therefore a leading challenge, one of the "big three" infectious diseases that global health professionals have at the top of their priority list. Yet, though TB is widespread and highly contagious, the complexity of different strains confounds medicine to this day.
TB is more difficult to treat, both individually and from a public health perspective, than other major infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and malaria. It is difficult to diagnose, and treatment regimens are lengthy and exacting. As antibiotics helped defeat TB in the wealthier world, interest in research and development for new treatment options and a vaccine faltered. The recent resurgence of TB – there were 9.4 million new cases and 1.8 million deaths in 2008 besides issues arising from TB and HIV/AIDS co-infection and emerging new, drug-resistant TB strains — has spurred increased TB-related awareness and activity.
The difficulties in moving aggressively to deal with TB are linked above all to the fact that it is a disease of poverty, with most TB-related deaths in the world's poorer countries. The difficult diagnostic and treatment regimes are especially hard to follow in poor communities and impose extraordinary burdens on the young adults who are most affected. Action is complicated by the damaging stigma associated with TB. As TB has become closely linked to HIV/AIDS, the stigma is magnified. Changes in physical condition that are common with TB can make infection noticeable and open the door for prejudice, so people postpone treatment or deny their disease. Diagnosis rates are lowest, and treatment abandonment rates highest, where TB stigma is at its most severe.
There is a major and remarkably well organized global campaign to fight TB, yet the battle is barely engaged. The journal Lancet in May published a series of articles hailing progress but underscoring how far there is still to go.
That is why and where religious communities need to be more actively and creatively engaged.
Faith-inspired organizations are keenly aware of the TB challenges, especially the religious organizations that act as primary healthcare providers, but also all who live and work in poor communities where TB is common. Large faith-inspired development organizations that focus on TB include international NGOs like World Vision, Catholic Relief Services (CRS), and the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) and there are many others. Local congregational structures, representing the gamut of world faith traditions, play varying roles in meeting TB, encouraging people to seek treatment and helping in the long process of healing.
But despite their extensive reach, the work of faith-inspired organizations addressing TB is poorly understood. To fill the gap the World Faiths Development Dialogue has explored the topic (I lead the organization) and uncovered a wealth of action and ideas. The question now is: what next? How to make the connection between the insights of the communities that see tuberculosis day in and day out and those who lead the global campaign and direct energy and resources?
There is no magic bullet but many important, practical steps. Keeping the spotlight on the underlying challenge of fighting poverty is essential. A second is drawing far more actively on the extraordinary resources of faith institutions in communities, to encourage diagnosis, monitor and cajole people into treatment, and fight stigma. An obvious step is to break down the silos that separate those working on HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis so that the two diseases are dealt with together. Bringing the experience and voices of the faith actors into the picture seems not only obvious but imperative, and that will mean building their capacity as well as quelling inhibitions separating the groups. The challenge that tuberculosis presents today demands it.

Al-Najjar, Nabil and Anderlini, Luca and Felli, Leonardo (2002) Unforeseen contingencies. 3271. Centre for Economic Policy Research, London, UK.Full text not available from this repository.
We develop a model of unforeseen contingencies. These are contingencies that are understood by economic agents — their consequences and probabilities are known — but are such that every description of such events necessarily leaves out relevant features that have a non-negligible impact on the parties' expected utilities. Using a simple co-insurance problem as a backdrop, we introduce a model where states are described in terms of objective features, and the description of an event specifies a finite number of such features. In this setting, unforeseen contingencies are present in the coinsurance problem when the first-best risk-sharing contract varies with the states of nature in a complex way that makes it highly sensitive to the component features of the states. In this environment, although agents can compute expected pay-offs, they are unable to include in any ex ante agreement a description of the relevant contingencies that captures (even approximately) the relevant complexity of the risky environment.

A century ago, a construction crew worked diligently to construct Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, one of BWH's predecessor institutions, before it opened in 1913 at 15 Francis St. Today, the 15 Francis St. entrance is seeing another construction cycle, but this time, it is to complete the Thea and James M. Stoneman Centennial Park and Brigham Patient Parking Garage, scheduled to open in spring 2014. The result will bring an open space to the bustling Brigham Circle, reminiscent of the old green at the Peter Bent Brigham. The photo above fuses the old (center photo) with the new.

Market Wrap For Thursday, August 22: Nasdaq Woes Overshadow Jackson Hole
Thursday's trading was even crazier than usual as the Nasdaq shut down in the middle of the day. For more than three hours there was no trading on the exchange no explanation as to what is going on.
Major Averages
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 66.12 points, or 0.44 percent, to 14,963.67.
The S&P 500 gained around 14 points, or 0.86 percent, to 1,656.95.
The Nasdaq climbed 38.92 points, or 1.08 percent, to 3,638.71.
Initial jobless claims came in worse than economists were looking for at 336,000 versus 330,000. This is this also 16,000 higher than the previous week. Continuing claims were also worse than expected at three million while the analyst consensus was 2.96 million.
Federal Reserve
Following yesterday's FOMC minutes, which left the market confused, several members of the Federal Reserve spoke today, but not Bernanke. The most notable comments came from Fisher, who indicated September is the right time for tapering. Markets didn't seem to care much as they continued upward.
Fossil fuels moved up today with WTI crude breaking through the $105 level near the close. Brent saw less of a move, up 0.1 percent to $109.92 and natural gas climbed more than two percent to $3.54.
Similarly to fuel, precious metals ticked up a little bit today with COMEX gold and silver futures at $1,373 and $23.11 nearing the close. Platinum spot rose 1.63 percent to $1,540.03.
Agricultural commodities lost value today with corn down 3.88 percent, wheat down 1.35 percent, and live cattle futures down half a percent heading into the equity market close.
Treasury prices rose on the day. The iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NYSE: TLT) climbed 0.78 percent to $102.95 nearing the close.
Yields were as follows on Thursday afternoon: The 2-Year Note was yielding 0.39 percent. The 5-Year Note was yielding 1.69 percent. The 10-Year Note and 30-Year Bond were yielding 2.9 percent and 3.88 percent at last check.
The U.S. Dollar gained a little value in Thursday's crazyness. Late in the day, the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish ETF (NYSE: UUP), which tracks the performance of the greenback versus a basket of foreign currencies, was up 0.23 percent to $22.03.
The EUR/USD was mostly unchanged, down 0.03 percent to $1.3351. Other movers included the USD/JPY pair that moved up 1.07 percent to 131.85. After the peso lost so much value yesterday, it recovered some of its gains.
Volatility and Volume
The VIX plunged on the session despite losses for the Dow and Nasdaq. Late in the afternoon, the VIX was down around 7.84 percent to 14.69.
Volume was light on the day. Around 85 million SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSE: SPY) shares traded hands compared to the three month daily average of 129 million.
Stock Movers
GameStop (Nasdaq: GME) moved up 9.05 percent to $51.93 after the company reported strong Q2 results and raised its FY14 forecast.
SunEdison (NYSE: SUNE) got a boost to $7.88 for a 15.86 percent gain after the company announced its plans to spin off its semiconductor business.
The Hain Celestial Group (NASDAQ: HAIN) was also up, gaining 10.96 percent to $80.89 on upbeat Q4 profit.
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) climbed 6.25 percent to $157.10 after the Nasdaq reopened.
Abercrombie & Fitch Co (NYSE: ANF) were down 17.67 percent to $38.53 after the company reported weak fiscal second-quarter profit and issued a downbeat forecast for the third quarter.
Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE: HPQ) shares tumbled 12.45 percent to $22.22 on FQ3 results.
Sears Holdings (NASDAQ: SHLD) was down, falling 8.20 percent to $39.72 after the company posted a wider fiscal second-quarter loss.

When you are descended from a long line of barkeeps and restaurateurs, it is almost a given that you, too, will enter the family business. When you open your own restaurant in a former Catholic church, a whiff of the divine accompanies destiny. Michael Domer with his wife, Mickiy, is the most recent generation of Muscio (it's matrilineal) to enter Marin's food scene. His place, Muscio's Italian Restaurant, is the new tenant at the former Our Lady of Loretto in downtown Novato.
Our Lady is no stranger to the restaurant business. The church, which moved into a new spiritual home down the street in the '60s, was converted shortly thereafter to accommodate restaurants, most recently the Cacti American Grill. It takes a moment to sink in, this juxtaposition of a hopping bar and lively restaurant within a church's nave.
Where once there was a sanctuary, there is a narrow kitchen, partially hidden from the large room by brick archways. The dining room is framed by a huge, heavy wood front door, stained windows in the clerestory and, lower down the tall walls, Muscio family portraits. Lighted by dark metal wall sconces and a large circular metal lantern, the room captures the spirit of the church and of the community dining and drinking within.
The food is a low-key match for the comforting environs. Fried calamari and artichoke hearts ($8.95) was crisp and inviting, the lemony aioli freckled with basil. Caprese salad ($9.95) with its thick Roma slices was drizzled with a balsamic reduction and peppery basil slivers. "We're switching to heirlooms for the season," Domer says. Whole leaf hearts of romaine ($9.95) was enlivened with Amarena cherries and Gorgonzola, the sweet cherries sparring with the sour tang of the aged cheese.
Chicken rosmarino, grilled and then pan-roasted, was a bit overcooked, but the garlicky mushrooms were a highlight. Spaghetti puttanesca with eggplant ($13.95) was thick with tomato, capers and olives. True puttanesca should be a little salty and a little spicy but lacking the boldness of chilies, the salty additions in this version overwhelmed the dish, blunting its swagger.
Spaghetti and meatballs ($13.95, $4.95 for a child's portion that includes steamed broccoli) featured juicy, 100 percent beef meatballs and a pureed red sauce made daily. Like many of the recipes, the sauce arrived courtesy of Domer's extended network of family and friends. "The restaurant is not a chef-driven concept," Domer says. "It's about the community."
That includes the Domers' daughter, Amelia. A fan of Nickelodeon's "iCarly" program, Amelia insisted that the show's famous spaghetti tacos ($4.95) be added to the kid's menu. No surprise, then, to learn that it's are the best-selling item on that menu. The free side of broccoli with every kid's meal? That was Dad's idea and parents love it.
Domer's familiarity with Muscio's Novato neighborhood and with Marin is at the heart of this family-friendly restaurant. Domer, who grew up in San Anselmo and graduated from Drake High School, is very responsive to his clientele. Classic cocktails on the bar menu, spumoni on the dessert menu and a gluten-free pasta on the main menu were all added after customers requested them. Children's meals appear blessedly fast (like a little prayer) and tiny cookies hold children at the table for that extra minute you need to finish your glass of wine.
With more than 15 years in the restaurant business (he got his start washing dishes at Kentfield's Pacific Cafe), Domer is a hands-on owner, welcoming new friends and stopping by to chat with regulars. Mickiy Domer is often at the hostess stand, greeting kids and their parents and sharing a laugh with guests. The warmth of the hosts extends to the staff where small details are graciously and promptly taken care of. Last but not least, there is a small wine list with most options available by the glass ($5 to $8).
Muscio's is a neighborhood restaurant in the best sense. Open since March and run by a local family, it is a reflection of its community, offering familiar, crowd-pleasing Italian-American favorites in, literally, a divine setting.

Magnetic Alphabet Letters
Lil Tip: Make Your Refrigerator a Classroom
Every evening when I come home, I am torn between rolling around on the ground with my toddler or getting her dinner on the stove. Now, I do both at once.
Melissa and Doug's magnetic letters ($10) allow her to learn her ABCs and colors while I start chopping. In between slicing and dicing, I look down to her and ask, "Where's your blue letter F?" She scrambles around, finds it and places it on the "board." I cheer her on and we both clap. Mission accomplished: fun and learning time spent together.
