It all started with her being photographed by Steve McCurry in 1984. Probably one of the most famous portrait in modern times. What strikes the most are her eyes. You're just drawn to them right away (at least I am).
I've been noticing some new portraits that focuses on this style per se. So I figured to make a list which I'll constantly update as I get hypnotized.
Diggin' the Lifestyle works.
It seems that I haven't (in the time of writing) added a geolocation to one of my favorite photographs, as well as Life-moments.

Meanwhile, back to the subject. If we're talking about Flickr, Yahoo! comes to mind. The only thing that sucks about mapping on Flickr is the limited coverage and subpar details of Yahoo! Maps (in this case). You get results like these:

When South's four-spade opening was passed around to East, he did well to double. This is generally played as somewhere between optional and takeout. Although one tends to pass with nowhere to go, here it was clearly right for West to remove the double. Four no-trump, his actual choice, showed a two-suiter and asked East to bid his lowest suit. East obliged with five clubs, and West's five diamonds showed both red suits. Had North passed, East would have converted to five hearts. But North saved him from having to do that.
Against five spades, West led the heart king and continued with a low heart to East's ace. How would you defend as East?
Perhaps your first thought would be to switch to the club king, surely a safe exit card. A second thought should lead you to see that if declarer has a doubleton club, he will go down whatever you do. The danger is that he has a singleton club and will be able to set up his fifth club for a discard. To do this, he will need three entries outside clubs, which can only be in trumps. (The spade three will be an entry if he has the two.) The best way to scupper him is to remove an entry prematurely by switching to a trump. He can still use his trump entries to set up the fifth club, but will have no entry to reach it after it is established.

Patrick French has been performing as an actor and improviser throughout the Boston area since 2002. He was a member of the ImprovBoston Mainstage from 2007 – 2012, before stepping down so he had more time to change his kids' diapers. Prior to that, he performed with the Improv Asylum's NXT cast. He has also performed in a number of ImprovBoston showcase shows over the years, including GoreFest, Crime Solving Bear & Oceans 2. He currently produces and performs in "The Angriest Show in the World," a completely make-believe anger management seminar that inevitably spirals out of control. His awards include ImprovBoston's 2005 "Rookie of the Year," and Best Actor at Boston's 2010 48-Hour Film Festival. He has been known to get occasional commercial work - you may have seen him and heard his voiceover in numerous Papa Gino's pizza commercials, where he masterfully played the role of a hapless suburbanite whose grill has caught on fire. |

Last year I wrote how Retail's BIG Show went digital in 2012. I shared my observations on ways emerging technologies would impact retailers' adoption of digital signage.
This year I expect digital signage to be nearly unavoidable as retailers look to adopt omnichannel marketing in the face of stiffer competition from e-tailers. Retailers are challenged with enhancing the in-store experience to keep customers walking through their doors, and digital signage is perhaps the best bait.
With retail being arguably the largest market for digital signage (corporate communications/internal venue is often cited as larger), I expect to see many exhibitors who have elected to invest in a larger digital signage presence at this year's show. I also expect to see more transparent displays as both Samsung and Planar have released finished 22-inch and 32-inch solutions, respectively, that include the light box enclosure, controllers and in Samsung's case the media player.
As one example, the Avnet booth will simulate a quick-service restaurant with digital menu boards, point-of-wait advertising and video surveillance technologies. It will also feature a transparent demo along with digital menu boards and Intel's AIM Suite analytics technology.
I also expect to see more technologies scattered about the show floor that allow users to interact with digital signage including mobile apps, Near Field Communication, gesture and of course, touchscreens. These technologies drive a 1:1 experience which generates measurable ROI for retailers.
More traditional video walls as well as square tiled solutions will also be present. Retailers are utilizing them more and more to enhance their brand and create a powerful experience when customers visit their stores.
Overall I am looking forward to seeing the many ways emerging technologies have advanced and gained adoption since last year's show and in the 10 months since Digital Signage Expo. It is exciting to see these concepts deployed into and driving return on investment in real retail environments.
See you at NRF!

The breakfast buffet was superb!
The first room I was in bad a non-functioning television. I as moved to a comparable room. The second room was missing parts of the coffee maker. The desk clerk was very apologetic and located a replacement part.
The room was very clean and the set-up was inviting. When we wLked in, it didn't just look like every other hotel we've stayed in.
The pool was really small and only 4 ft deep. But I still enjoyed swimming some laps the morning after our stay.
Everything...the hotel was nothing like the pictures I saw on line. I did not stay, it was dark part of the motel was missing n had a makeshift fence around it. Did not feel safe staying here. Find another room
smoking rms main reason we stayed here!good location,very quite, clean for the most part! bed great! could have had thicker blankets for winter time over all great for price!!! over all not a bad place to stay for the price will stay again most likely
the heater/ac didn't work well very uneven heating got loud after on for awhile and if change settings!!! { I cleaned filters my self } very very dirty!!! didn't help!! tv reception sucked staticy !! but not bad over all!!!
Price and accomodations.
Indoor pool too cold to use. Not a real good selection for breakfast.
Very nice and clean will come back to stay again
It had beds
Very thing
Room was falling apart. Curtain was falling down , and towels were so thin you could barely get dry. The bed was so uncomfortable and even the desk was useless because the chair was stuck underneath it.
The staff were very pleasant,the location was convienent,
T room was dirty and the carpet was very worn.
It was dirty! It should not be listed as a two star!
Great Beds, very, very comfortable. We stay at many hotels and this was one of the most comfortable beds we have had.
Breakfast was good for what it was
Cleanliness! At our first room, the toilet didn't flush. No maintenance person available. Asked and received plunger. Didn't fix the problem. They apologized and moved us. The 2nd room had long black hairs between sheets. Moved again. Last room ok
Price and location were good. The staff was friendly.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Hybrid removed from Xbox Live Arcade due to server issues[Update: 5th Cell dropped us a line to let us know that the server problems have now been resolved and Hybrid will be available again on Xbox Live Arcade tonight stating that they, "expect a smooth gameplay experience from here on out."] If you were looking to play 5th Cell's new third-person shooter, Hybrid, hold your horses for a bit. The game has been pulled down from Xbox Live Arcade following server issues which have made the game unplayable for many users. Microsoft and 5th Cell have both made apologetic statements, saying that the game will be made available as soon as the servers are working the way they are supposed to be. No specifics have been given as to when that might be, but I imagine folks will be working non-stop until it's resolved. Always a bummer when multiplayer-based games have these problems at launch, particularly when it's a title from a smaller studio where the player support could evaporate if things take too long, leaving another dead game. Here's to hoping it gets sorted quickly. Hybrid pulled from Xbox Live Arcade [Joystiq] Comments not appearing? Anti-virus apps like Avast or some browser extensions can cause this. Easy fix: Add [*].disqus.com to your software's white list. Tada! Happy comments time again.

Set in the political snake-pit of Elizabethan England, Roland Emmerich's Anonymous speculates on an issue that has for centuries intrigued academics and brilliant minds such as Mark Twain, Charles Dickens and Sigmund Freud, namely: who actually created the body of work credited to William Shakespeare? The film poses one possible answer, focusing on a time when scandalous political intrigue, illicit romances in the Royal Court… View photos.

I had no idea. I'm thinking it probably never got out of the festival circuit. I can't find it anywhere.

I really like Clay Aiken...great voice, witty guy, good actor...he just tweeted this: I've never heard of this magazine. Any of you guys know about it? If so, what is your opinion of it?
Yeah, he's been on Ed, Days of Our Lives, The Office and Scrubs; starred on Broadway as Sir Robin in SPAMALOT; recently played The Man in the North Carolina Theater production of The Drowsy Chaperone, and will star in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat later this month in the Ogunquit Playhouse production (Maine).

Mid-Life Crisis maybe? I was in WeHo a couple weeks ago, it's not very big in terms of area and didn't see him out and about (I probably would have had a fanboy moment if I had), but either way I hope he is happy whichever way.
Wait! So maybe I'm not going crazy after all... (??) I swear I saw him walking on Sunset Blvd. right by Freestyle Photo, but I was like nahhh. So he's in Cali now? Could it be that I saw him walking on Sunset blvd.? He was carrying a plastic bag from Home Depot. Not to sound like a "fangirl" but OMG! OMG!!!!!!
Y'all have seemed to take some wild leaps with the gossip! I know the mustache is for a movie role, maybe the tattoos aren't real and are for the same role. As far as having a new boyfriend...maybe...and if so, sex...probably. But to imply drugs?!?

A week from tomorrow, August 9 at 10 AM, I'll be delivering a lecture on American opera at the Glimmerglass Festival. It's a favorite subject of mine, and one I rarely get to talk or write much about. Other professors than myself teach copiously about opera at Bard, and one dream course I've never ventured is a completely non-overlapping one on experimental American opera: Virgil Thomson, Harry Partch, Robert Ashley, Philip Glass, Mikel Rouse, maybe Cage's Europeras. But then I start thinking how reluctant I'd be to omit Copland's The Tender … [Read more...]
Inventing an America
I have no idea why I plan out dream courses I could teach, when it's the middle of the summer. One of my great regrets (there are so many) is that I've never taught an American music course. It just doesn't fit our curriculum. To do it the way I want to, it really ought to be a graduate seminar somewhere, because I'd want to get into Riegger's Study in Sonority and the Becker Third and Martirano's L'sGA, which I can't do if they don't know who Ives is yet. I taught a History of the Symphony once and I'll never do that again because it was waaay … [Read more...]
The Composer as Cripple
...alias, Musicology as Schadenfreude. Poor Charles Ives. He never got over his father's death, and kept trying to fill in the gap. He was driven to keep using certain tunes and instruments in his music because they reminded him of George. He kept pretending that he'd learned more from his father than from his college teacher Horatio Parker. Unlike most composers, Ives couldn't make up his own tunes anyway, so he'd find one and rearrange it until no one could recognize it. He never knew what he really wanted. He claimed that he didn't need … [Read more...]
Trusting Your Material
One of the fascinating things about going through Ives's manuscripts has been getting a feel for his composing method. I'm not likely to become an expert on it, because I'm only dealing with the piano sonatas, and I have more to do with the rest of my life than decipher Ives's creaky handwriting, as others have heroically been doing. But I have found interesting patterns. Early sketches for the First Sonata are more revealing than for the Concord, which is one reason I'm analyzing it too. There's an early sketch for the First Sonata, dated … [Read more...]
Ives the Primitive as Straw Man
Essays After a Sonata is in publishable form, and I've got six weeks left to think and rewrite, and think and rewrite, and reread other books and think and rewrite, which is just how I wanted it. And now I have to decide how and whether to address what's bothered me about most of what's been written about Charles Ives in the last thirty years. Maybe writing about it here will show me how not to write about it in the book, which is something this blog is sometimes good for. At some point in the 1980s, all the musicologists started trying to … [Read more...]
Symphonic Milestone
Today is not only the 197th birthday of Henry David Thoreau, but the milestone 60th birthday of the composer (and my good friend) Robert Carl. His Fourth Symphony is on my web site if you'd like to celebrate. (Be warned, the beginning is very soft.) … [Read more...]
Reunion Anxiety
I've been sitting on the scoop that the black metal band Liturgy is indeed reuniting for a new tour and record, but Pitchfork broke the news. That's Bernard Gann in the back, I think, though with enough hair he and Greg Fox can look almost indistinguishable. Bernard's other band (or rather, one of his other bands) Guardian Alien was interviewed by High Times magazine back in May, but for some reason it was only in the paper magazine, and never appeared on the internet. … [Read more...]
Composer Casualties
I'm kind of fascinated by the First World War, which I think of as a catastrophe unparalleled for its combination of massive scale and utter pointlessness. I particularly recommend Adam Hochschild's book To End All Wars, one of the most fascinating history books I've ever read; and Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory is a film I can always watch again, as is Paul Gross's Passchendaele. I'm commemorating the centennial of the war's inception by listening to music of George Butterworth (1885-1916), who, as far as I know, was the most well-known … [Read more...]
Pre-Redivision Period Music
Here's an interview with Daniel Lentz, one of my favorite composers. I love that the critic quotes John Schaefer as saying, "His works look back to an earlier time when music was not so divided between serious and popular.

A Pseudo-Milestone, but Feels Real
I have just completed a first draft of Essays After a Sonata: Charles Ives's Concord. It is currently something over 136,000 words, which is just about the length of my American Music book; plus, there are hundreds of musical examples. There are fourteen chapters, as follows: The Story of the Concord Sonata, 1911-1947 The Programmatic Argument (and Henry Sturt) The Human Faith Theme and the Whole-Tone Hypothesis Emerson: The Essay Emerson: The Music The Emerson Concerto and its Offshoots Hawthorne and The Celestial Railroad Hawthorne: … [Read more...]
The Charm of Impossibilities
I am sitting here trying to write microtonal polytempo music on Sibelius. I have found the most aggravating, patience-requiring method of composing in the history of music. I have spent the last two hours trying to fill three measures of music - largely because Sibelius will not allow a pitch bend command to be pasted onto a note in a tuplet. If Schoenberg really was trying to make it impossible for his students to compose, as Cage claimed he said, he would have made them do it this way. Future generations of composers will look at my music and … [Read more...]
Friends of Bob
After Bob Ashley's death, Ed McKeon put together a group of video tributes to him by his friends, and he's now put them up on the web.

The second one features Fast Forward, me, Jacqueline Humbert, Tom Buckner, Joan LaBarbara, Chris Mann, Alex Waterman, Sam Ashley. Just in case you're only interested in me (Mom), my part begins at 3:28 in the second video, and you can see what my living room … [Read more...]
When Good Things Happen…
...to curmudgeonly people: I am not very sanguine about the advantages of the composing life these days, but let it be noted that one can be sitting on one's screened-in porch savoring a Romeo y Julieta [that's a cigar, kids] while talented young people are giving one of your works a gratifying world premiere on the opposite side of the planet. The Australian National University New Music Group, with soprano Jelena Mamic, did a lovely job on my The Stream (Admonitions), as you can hear in the linked video. And since I had forgotten writing it, … [Read more...]

Baker's comments on the lack of the standard New 3DS Model in North America just confuse me. If Nintendo's reasoning was not to confuse potential new customers then wouldn't it have made more sense to inc. a Charger in the box since those are the people that don't own a prev. 3DS model.

If Nintendo want people to buy more Virtual Console titles then why-oh-why do they not push weekly download info to the Notifications menu on the Wii U and 3DS.
Instead, they appear to only use that native advertising platform to promote their big titles.
This is dumb and a missed opportunity.
Secondly, most people would prefer to hear about what on Earth is going on with the N64/DS Wii U virtual console service.
Thirdly, could we please get more than a bare minimum of four virtual console titles a month on each respective system. I understand that Nintendo don't want V.C titles to cannabalize the sales of other V.C titles but this could be somewhat averted by releasing multiple titles spanning different genres each week.
@StephenYap3 Sadly is right. The game will have been out several months by that point, the amount of players actually needing more 1Up's is growing less and less by the day.
If amiibo support for the other figs had been patched in from the launch of the game then a few 1Up's might have been useful.
errr...it's already been revealed what the "small surprise" is. Scanning any other amiibo in Captain Toad boosts your 1Up count.
@Kaze_Memaryu Yeah, not that big a loss to you, but it clearly is to other people or there wouldn't be such a fuss over it. I thought that was self evident.
@Kaze_Memaryu Ummm no. I'm sick of everyone framing this as either/or. It doesn't have to be through the magic of options.
Want voice chat, switch the setting to on. Don't want it, set it to Off. Problem solved, everyone is catered for.
The way the translation of the voice chat bit is written 'suggests' that voice chat may be reserved for friends only. We'll hopefully know for sure once the rest of the info from the 10 page Famitsu spread has been translated and posted.
I want more Smash Bros. style read/write functionality from amiibos, rather than having them as glorified unlocks for skins, content and items/abilities.
That was the interesting hook behind them in the first place and we've seen precious little of it.
Here's one more for you.
#6 Nintendo 64 Virtual Console: Either cancel it or explain why it has been delayed for literally years! Things not to do: say absolutely nothing about it.
Why is Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call missing from the 3DS Retail game of the year category yet Sonic Boom made it in?
Also, where's Nintendo Pocket Football Club?
@zool You not buying Smash U because Smash 3DS exists is a logical fallacy. You 'chose' to buy Smash 3DS and as a result of lack of funds or some sort of grudge, you now won't buy the Wii U version. There was a Smash 3DS Demo on the eShop, if you were worried it wouldn't be a good fit for the screen size, you should have tried it first.
@Guybrush20X6 This. This is exactly what needs to happen. Nintendo citing limited store shelf space as a reason to not re-stock less popular amiibo's is a terrible excuse in the age of online shopping.
I won't be posting this unless IGN confirm it tomorrow. 4Chan is just too unreliable a source for me to be comfortable posting this story.
Here's a direct link to the StreetPass South Wales: Smash Bros. Wii U Qualifier Event.
@jboy1807 ...ummm no. I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask for an amiibo save data back up system/device so I shouldn't have to delete my Smash amiibo data to use the figure in a future read/write game.
I'm not asking for much, forcing a user into a position where they must decide to lose their save data, buy the same figure again, or a different one altogether is at best, inelegant and not consumer friendly, and at worst, a cynical money grab.
You should be calling Nintendo on their flawed system not making excuses for them.
Thank you so much. This is exactly what i've been trying to say since this morning, despite others here at NLife and elsewhere failing to understand the perils of a fragmented figurine platform.
(1) I understand why the amiibo figures can only hold a small amount of data but that's all the more reason to have produced a powered, physical amiibo backup device for long term storage of that data so you shouldn't 'have' too opt to delete it or not in the first place.
(2) You say you'll have to buy other dedicated amiibo to read/write to different games. If that's true then why did Nintendo say that to use the Smash amiibo (with save data on it) with a different read/write game then you'll have to erase the data already stored on it.
That alludes to at least the existence of or possibility that other read/write games will utilize the Smash amiibo figures.
@NintendoMan94 - Smash amiibo's will work with Hyrule Warriors, MK8 whether they have Smash data on them or not because in those games their just used to unlock features. If Nintendo decide to make dedicated Mario Kart figures that unlock more than just costumes then that's such an inelegant solution as you have then have multiple types of the same figures that do different things.
The way to do it would be to produce ONE amiibo per character and sell a powered 'amiibo backup device' separately so you can save data held on amiibo's for the long term - meaning you wouldn't
(a) Have to erase data on an amiibo to use it in anothr read AND write game
(b) Optionally produce additional dedicated amiibo figures for other games.
I know you aren't saying it but if anyone can say why the current set up is superior to the one i outlined above, i'd love to hear it.
Hearing the news that each amiibo can only read and write to ONE game at a time is just so depressing. Currently Smash Bros. Wii U is the only game this happens with, the others only use the figure to unlock stuff in-game but the scenario is that should another game with read/write amiibo functionality be released, you'd have to decide whether you ERASE your Smash amiibo data to use your figure in the other game.
Limits like this really sap my interest in the figures, can't we have a way to 'backup' amiibo save data at least? I don't see an option for it in the amiibo settings, how can Nintendo not realise it yet that people aren't going to be happy about having to delete their Smash amiibo fighter to use the figure in another read/write game.
Not sure what's wrong with everybody but surely online tournament modes would be kind of a big draw...as long as the online actually performs to a satisfactory degree of course.
Personally, i think the NSMBU sale price is insulting. If anything, that should be the regular price. Unless your absolutely commited to a digital library, i frankly don't see the point.
@Dawn-Shade Same here. I used Plex for awhile until I had a problem with it and couldn't get it working again.
PlayOn has less of quality in the presentation department in comparison and it's annoying that I have to cycle through the options to get back to the Folder that contains my Media but it works without issue (for me) and i'm happy with it.
I can only make the Friday. Can anyone confirm that (1) Nintendo games will be available to play that day (B) NintendoUK will be active that day.
Need to know fairly urgently. Anyone want to be a lifesaver?
@dizzy_boy You just may be the person who can answer this for me, or at least tell me what has happened at previous events..
Tempted to go but would love to know what Wii U/3DS titles will be shown. That said, if the wait for that info is too great, the event may be sold out. Decisions, decisions.
Yep. I know a few people whose Mii's were favorited. Perhaps it's a way of tagging them all to review later. Not sure what's going on to be honest.
[Caption] "Aonuma's practicing his new approach to Zelda development. Throw everything at the wall and see what sticks"
Coming to "PS4, XBox One and PS4" <--- Its coming to PS4 TWICE! What the actual f*ck Ubisoft! (jk)
As long as these 'Twitch Plays' don't interfere with the smooth running of VGCW on Tuesday's then i'm all for them.
Another example of dev's being economical (excuse the pun) with the truth. The only reason to not bring it to Wii U is profit margins. Why can't they just say
"the user base is too small and we don't think we'll make enough money off of it to justify the cost of development"
That's fine, just say that instead of the confusing nonsense they often come out with.
It's hardly high on the list of priorities but how Wii U doesn't have Folder support and a Community Search Bar for Miiverse yet is just beyond me.
It's hardly high on the list of priorities but how Wii U doesn't have Folder support and a Community Search Bar for Miiverse yet is just beyond me.
The only game i've ever completed 4/5 times. Every couple of years I go back to it. I swear its the music, you can hum those tunes all day. ALL DAY!
Already own Friday Monsters and Starship Damrey, the latter of which was disappointing. Picked up Liberation Maiden right after the N.Direct broadcast. I know it'll be short and sweet but you can't go wrong at these prices.
I know it is January, a typically slow month, but Nintendo's promise that there would not be a Software drought in 2014 really rings hollow when they can't even get anything out on the digital side, let alone retail.
Chibi Robo: Photo Finder is already out in the states, it's ready to go Nintendo, why oh why can't you slot that in this week. Crazy, just crazy.
This is pathetic. SMB3, Link to the Past are already out on the Wii U eShop. WTF is the hold up Nintendo. sigh
Well i'm convinced. I seriously would purchase a brand new N64 over an XBone right now, simply because it's got so many more games I want to play. Call me when XBone has a Road Rash 64 equivalent ( the forgotten N64 Multiplayer classic!)

ABSTRACT: Phylogenetic analyses using two chloroplast DNA data sets, derived from variation of the ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase gene (rbcL) and restriction sites, were performed to examine relationships among 13 taxa in subtribe Dendrobiinae, one of the most taxonomically complicated groups in Orchidaceae, and its putative sister groups. Owing to a limited number of informative substitutions, therbcL data set did not provide conclusive evidence in itself. The data set combiningrbcL and restriction site mutations, however, provided the following insights: (1)Pseuderia belongs with tribe Podochileae rather than tribe Dendrobieae. (2) Subtribe Dendrobiinae is monophyletic ifPseuderia is excluded. (3) ExcludingPseuderia, Dendrobiinae comprises three major clades: Clade 1 (Dendrobium sectionSpatulata, Cadetia, Diplocaulobium, andFlickingeria); Clade 2 (Dendrobium sectionsDendrobium andCallista); and Clade 3 (Epigeneium). (4)Epigeneium diverged early from the lineage including Clades 1 and 2. (5) Relative toCadetia, Diplocaulobium, andFlickingeria, Dendrobium is shown to be para-/polyphyletic. (6)Diplocaulobium andFlickingeria constitute a monophyletic clade, from which cladeDendrobium sectionSpatulata andCadetia form succesive sister groups. Among these results, (1) and (5) are especially stable in view of the congruence between the separate and combined analyses as well as robust internal support.Journal of Plant Research 06/1996; 109(2):169-176. · 2.51 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Floral morphology in all ten species ofCrossostylis, one of the inland genera of Rhizophoraceae and is distributed in the South Pacific Islands, was studied to increase our knowledge on floral features of individual species as well as on relationships among the species. Flowers ofCrossostylis, unlike those of the other Rhizophoraceae, always have semi-inferior ovaries and entire petals, but are diversified concerning the number and arrangement of stamens and carpels, the presence or absence of staminodia, sexuality and the structure of nectaries. Despite some doubt of the presence of apomorphies restricted to the whole genus, we tentatively definedCrossostylis by a combination of the presence of the semi-inferior ovary, entire petals, and arillate seeds, and then performed cladistic analysis on the basis of 24 floral and other morphological characters and withCarallia andGynotroches as outgroups. Our phylogenetic analysis suggested that the species ofCrossostylis are divided into two monophyletic groups: one comprising six species distributed in the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and the Fiji Islands, and the other comprising four species distributed in New Caledonia and Polynesia.Journal of Plant Research 01/1996; 109(1):7-19. · 2.51 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Phylogenetic relationships among the nine species ofCrossostylis (Rhizophoraceae) were elucidated using cladistic analysis of restriction site variations of chloroplast DNA. As a result, this genus was found to comprise two pronounced monophyletic groups as follows:C. biflora, C. grandiflora, C. multiflora andC. sebertii; andC. cominsii, C. pachyantha, C. parksii, C. richii andC. seemannii. Moreover, the monophyly ofC. biflora, C. grandiflora andC. sebertii in the former group and the monophyly ofC. pachyantha, C. parksii, C. richii andC. seemannii in the latter group were also suggested. The molecular tree corresponded well with that inferred from morphological data and no discrepancy was recognized. Many of the floral morphological characters reflected lineage, but all seed coat characters were homoplasious. Evolutionary trends in some morphological characters were optimized on the cpDNA tree obtained. Species from New Caledonia and Polynesia were monophyletic, as were those from the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and the Fiji Islands. All species endemic to the Fiji Islands made a cluster, and this suggests that speciation occurred from a single ancestral species on the Islands.Journal of Plant Research 02/1995; 108(1):87-92. · 2.51 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The relationship of selected wood anatomical characters of NepaleseRhododendron with stem diameter, plant height, altitude, and plant form was investigated. We studied one to three specimens each of 26 species: five species each of trees and subtrees I, three species of subtrees II, and 13 species of shrubs. Multiple regression analysis and actual distribution of character values show that pore characters and multiseriate ray ratio have a stronger correlation with stem diameter than altitude; that pore density, vessel element length, fiber-tracheid length, and multiseriate ray density and width are equally related to altitude and stem diameter, or to altitude and plant height; and that bar number, and multiseriate ray area and height have a stronger connection with altitude. Among the characters, average pore area is most strongly correlated with stem diameter and increases exponentially as diameter increases. For wood structure of NepaleseRhododendron, 17 to 63 % of the variation is affected by non-anatomical factors. The general trends in wood structure of NepaleseRhododendron show that trees and subtrees form one continuous unit whereas shrubs form another that often has wider ranges of variation.Journal of Plant Research 01/1995; 108(1):1-9. · 2.51 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]

ABSTRACT: A survey of the structure and mineral composition of leaf idioblasts in the Cecropiaceae was conducted. In all six genera of the family, idioblasts usually occur as trichomes or enlarged epidermal cells and nearly always accumulate Si, in marked contrast to the idioblasts of other members of the Urticales, which mostly possess cystoliths containing abundant Ca and Si. The horizontally elongate, mineralized structures ofPoikilospermum, reported formerly as "cystoliths" also contain mainly Si and little Ca. Six genera of Cecropiaceae share a common character in accumulating abundant Si in idioblasts of the leaf epidermis, while lacking cystoliths composed of abundant Ca and Si.Journal of Plant Research 01/1993; 106(4):327-335. · 2.51 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present the first report on somatic chromosome numbers and morphology in eight of 13 recorded species ofCrossostylis, one of inland genera of Rhizophoraceae. The chromosome number ofCrossostylis is 2n=28 in all species examined; therefore, the genus hasx=14, a number which is the smallest and unknown elsewhere in the family. Based onCrossostylis raiateensis, we further present that 24 of 28 chromosomes at metaphase have centromeres at median position, and the remaining four at submedian or subterminal position. The chromosome morphology seems to imply thatCrossostylis might be a tetraploid with the original base numberx=7, but an extensive study in the other inland genera is needed to find such a small chromosome number.Journal of Plant Research 12/1992; 105(4):549-553. · 2.51 Impact Factor -
Article: Seed coat anatomy ofCrossostylis (Rhizophoraceae): its evolutionary and systematic implications
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The seed coat structure of all 13 species ofCrossostylis was studied to contribute to an understanding of species delimitation and relationships within the genus. The mature seed coat is relatively uniform and consistently constructed mainly by a well-developed exotesta and a well-developed fibrous exotegmen. The species differ in the thickness of the exotesta and exotegmen, the anatomy of exotestal cells, the presence and absence of persistent mesotesta, and so forth. On the basis of comparisons of these characters, close relationships are suggested in the species groups such as:Crossostylis banksiana andC. cominsii; C. biflora, C. raiateensis andC. multiflora; C. gandiflora, C. sebertii andC. imera; and five species in the Fiji Islands. These relationships except for those of Fijian five species are also supported by cladistics as their common characters are evaluated as synapomorphy. Species-level separation ofC. banksiana, C. pedunculata andC. raiateensis each from the closest species is doubted based on the results of seed coat structure.Journal of Plant Research 11/1992; 105(4):625-638. · 2.51 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chromosome numbers of 114 individuals from twelve populations ofSedum aizoon L. var.aizoon (Crassulaceae) are reported. They include 37 different chromosome numbers ranging from 2n=71 to 124. Although the chromosome number variation has been found in all populations examined, no correlation with geographical distribution could not be found. Various kinds of meiotic irregularities, i.e., multivalents, univalents, chromosome lagging, and polysporous "tetrad" formation have been found. These irregularities lead to the formation of gametes with various chromosome numbers. All aneuploid plants set seeds and seem to reproduce sexually. The extensive aneuploidy in var.aizoon seems to be caused by the unequal chromosome segregation in meiosis and the subsequent fertilization of gametes with various chromosome numbers.Journal of Plant Research 09/1992; 105(3):431-441. · 2.51 Impact Factor

Minn. gambling board approves high-tech bingo
ST. PAUL — The Minnesota Gambling Control Board has approved electronic bingo to help pay for the state's share of the Minnesota Vikings' new $975 million stadium.The "linked bingo" games allow gamblers at different locations to play together, increasing the size of jackpots.
E-bingo comes months after the Legislature approved the first electronic pulltab machines, which are now in about 200 locations. So far pulltab revenue has fallen far short of initial projections.
Supporters claim adding e-bingo — with jackpots as high as $75,000 — will help boost interest for the games, both among charities that sponsor them and among players.
The board Monday approved the game as an addition to an existing electronic pulltab device. Minnesota Public Radio reports distributors hope for a statewide rollout of e-bingo starting April 1.

Study reports up to $400 million needed for new convention center in Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City is faring well as a conference destination, but its convention center is inadequate and must be replaced if the city is to remain competitive, according to a study commissioned by the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber.
The study by Conventions, Sports & Leisure International, released today, suggests that replacing the 38-year-old Cox Convention Center will cost between $250 million and $400 million.
Mayor Mick Cornett has suggested for the past two years that any MAPS 3 should include a new convention center as a priority project. That call is being joined by the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber.
"We believe the convention center plays a vital role in the development of the visitor industry and in the development of downtown," said David Thompson, chamber chairman. "This study tells us clearly that our current center is not large enough, nor does it boast the amenities we need to be competitive. It is time for us to make an investment in this industry or recognize that we are slowly going out of business as far as conventions are concerned."
Roy Williams, chamber president, said discussions began with the city and the Oklahoma State Fair Board about launching a marketing study on how to attract more visitors.
Williams said Conventions, Sports & Leisure was chosen because of reputation and prior experience looking at Oklahoma City's convention market.
Williams said the study is ongoing. The first phase included a comparison to cities Oklahoma City competes with for conventions, and a destination market analysis that considers the likelihood the city can move up to the next tier with a new convention center.
"The destination market analysis looks at other amenities you should have to attract visitors and what amenities you should have to attract visitors," Williams said.

Tess Gerritsen is the author of such bestselling thrillers as THE SURGEON, THE APPRENTICE, THE SINNER, BODY DOUBLE and VANISH. She recently spoke with Bookreporter.com's Carol Fitzgerald and Joe Hartlaub about her latest book featuring Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles, THE MEPHISTO CLUB, which explores pre-Christian mythological notions of the origins of evil.
John Boyne's THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS is a profound and thought-provoking novel set during the Holocaust and told from the perspective of a young child who befriends a boy "on the other side of the fence." In this interview with Bookreporter.com's contributing writer Alexis Burling, Boyne discusses the parallels between the two children and explains why he chose to leave certain pertinent details deliberately ambiguous. He also elaborates on his main character's naïveté and its implications of society on a larger scale, examines the varying strengths of his female characters, and shares his enthusiasm for historical fiction.

Dan Burstein is the creator of the bestselling Secrets series, which includes such titles as SECRETS OF THE CODE and SECRETS OF ANGELS & DEMONS. His latest book, SECRETS OF MARY MAGDALENE, focuses on this enigmatic figure of the New Testament, thoroughly exploring just how large a role she played in the life of Jesus and the establishment of early Christianity.
Jed Rubenfeld, a Professor of Law at Yale University, has completed his first work of fiction, THE INTERPRETATION OF MURDER, an historical novel about Sigmund Freud's 1909 visit to the United States.
