On June 22, 2009, the Cambridge City Council voted to adopt a zoning change which allows The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University to relocate to Cambridge from Kenmore Square, Boston, creating the foundation of an arts district in Porter Square. The proposed move includes construction of a new state-of-the-art facility for The Art Institute of Boston (AIB) on Lesley's Porter Campus and the adaptive re-use and restoration of the historic former North Prospect Church.

I have an idea for a game based on a small Japanese boy who gains psychic powers and must find a rumoured group of psychics hiding in his city's underworld, to try to get answers on what is happening to him. Sounds very Akira when I give descriptions, but it's not really when in my design doc.
The overall graphical style of the game is almost like hand-drawn animation and very stylised, as the game is meant to be like a long and interactive anime episode.
But the thing I'm asking is: would you (non Japanese-speaking) players be interested in a game that only featured Japanese audio for speech and then subtitles for your own language?
I personally think it isn't critical that a game is in my language if it is set in another location. As the game is set in Japan, I would prefer Japanese audio to set the mood further.

Reaching Haitian immigrants
Marla Pierson Lester
May 27, 2011
As Mateo-Deo and Limonta confer in Spanish, Sylvia Shirk, pastor of Manhattan Mennonite Fellowship, uses her Haitian Creole to interview a woman who wants to bring her husband to New York from Haiti. A law graduate working for Lutheran Social Services, Meredith Fortin, works with a third client in French.
Navigating the process to stay legally in the United States can be complex – whether in figuring out what options might work best for a particular immigrant, determining the many documents required for each step of the process, or knowing how to address problems.
As MCC continues a major earthquake response in Haiti and works to help people rebuild their houses and livelihoods without leaving home, MCC East Coast also strives to answer God's call to welcome newcomers and strangers by supporting Mateo-Deo and Shirk.
Each Thursday, the two women meet with Haitian immigrants at this site in Brooklyn. Under the supervision of Fortin and an attorney from Lutheran Social Services, Mateo-Deo and Shirk see clients who are applying for citizenship, residency or permission to work legally in the U.S.
With the MCC-supported workers handling initial interviews, "it doubles the amount of clients we can see," said Fortin. "It's a great team to have for the client."
In the process, Mateo-Deo and Shirk have gotten a firsthand look at the combined effect of immigration and the earthquake on New York's long-established Haitian population.
"The previous scenario was that many people were permanent residents and had a job here and sent money home," Shirk said. "They built a house in Port-au-Prince, and living in that house were their relatives, sometimes their children."
As Haiti's capital city was devastated, homes destroyed and many people forced to live on the streets, parents and relatives – many of whom were saving up money to bring children to the U.S. anyway – frantically searched for ways to make that happen quickly, Shirk noted.
Marie Denise Milord, a member of the First Haitian Church of the Brethren who had come to New York two years ago, was among these.
Days after the earthquake, she began coming to the center asking for help getting her youngest children to New York quickly. Her home in Haiti could not be lived in. Her youngest son, then 10, has several disabilities and didn't manage the changes well after the quake. He lost weight and became extremely anxious.
Shirk translated some of Milord's documents from Haitian Creole into English, a critical part of the application process. Last July, Milord, who works as a home health care aide, was able to bring her son and her 13-year-old daughter to New York.
"It was God who provided for them to be able to come without my having to pay," Milord said. "It was really a gift from God."
However, Shirk and Mateo-Deo note that each immigrant's situation is different. In some cases, people have no legal way to remain in the U.S.
"It's sad when you have to tell people there's no solution," said Mateo-Deo, who began as an MCC East Coast worker in April 2010. "I expected it to be, yes, everybody's going to have a solution, and I'll be able to help them somehow. That's not always the case."
Shirk recalled a woman who had raised a niece from childhood and wanted to keep her in New York after the earthquake, fearing for her safety in the confusion of Haiti's reconstruction. But she wasn't the girl's guardian and had no legal way to keep her in the U.S.
"Some of it is so complicated, and it results in family tragedies," Shirk said.
The MCC U.S. Washington Office warns that, with the U.S. government resuming deportations to Haiti, those tragedies may continue to mount.
After the earthquake, the U.S. stopped deporting Haitians who had been detained in the U.S. through the justice system or because of immigration issues. These deportations – which involve transferring people from U.S. facilities to be held in Haitian prisons in often-harsh conditions – resumed in January 2011, then were halted after a prisoner died of cholera-like symptoms in a Port-au-Prince prison.
Deportations resumed in April. In a single day in May, Shirk worked with two clients facing deportation issues. The Washington Office is urging Anabaptists to write to President Barack Obama, asking that deportations cease. (Read more below.)
No matter the client's situation, Mateo-Deo and Shirk offer what assistance they can, ministering to clients even as they diligently sort through questions of paperwork.
"We are called to serve. We are called to bring peace and spread the name of Jesus around," said Mateo-Deo, a member of Mennonite Evangelistic Tabernacle in Queens, N.Y. "When they see the love we have for them and truly caring for their situation, whether we can help them or not, I think they see that."
MCC U.S. Washington Office speaks out on deportations
The MCC U.S. Washington Office is urging that Anabaptists and others consider contacting lawmakers to ask that deportations of Haitian immigrants cease until conditions in Haiti improve.
After the earthquake, the U.S. stopped deporting Haitians who had been detained in the U.S. through the justice system or because of immigration issues. These deportations – which involve transferring people from U.S. facilities to be held in Haitian prisons in often-harsh conditions – resumed in 2011.
"Deportations divert resources from Haiti's recovery effort and jeopardize the lives of those returned to the country," reports a Washington Office action alert. It states that homelessness and political instability are on the rise in Haiti, while access to social services is declining and a cholera outbreak has exacerbated the situation.
The alert urges people to write to President Barack Obama, asking that deportations cease. Learn more at washington.mcc.org/haitideportations.

Margaret Bruce
Joseph Bruce Ismay (12 December 1862 – 17 October 19371) was an English businessman who served as chairman and managing director of the White Star Line of steamships. He came to international attention as the highest-ranking White Star official among the 712 survivors (vs. 1,496 fatalities from crew and passengers totalling 2,208) of the maiden voyage of his company's marquee ocean liner, the RMS Titanic.2
Early life
Ismay was born in Crosby, Lancashire. He was the son of Thomas Henry Ismay (7 January 1837 – 23 November 1899) and Margaret Bruce (13 April 1837 – 9 April 1907), daughter of ship-owner Luke Bruce.3 Thomas Ismay was the senior partner in Ismay, Imrie and Company and the founder of the White Star Line.a4 The younger Ismay was educated at Elstree School and Harrow,5 then tutored in France for a year. He was apprenticed at his father's office for four years, after which he toured the world. He then went to New York City as the company representative, eventually rising to the rank of agent.6
On 4 December 1888, Ismay married Julia Florence Schieffelin (5 March 1867 – 31 December 1963), daughter of George Richard Schieffelin and Julia Matilda Delaplaine of New York, with whom he had five children:7
- Margaret Bruce Ismay (29 December 1889 – 15 May 1967), who married George Ronald Hamilton Cheape (1881–1957) in 1912
- Henry Bruce Ismay (3 April 1891 – 1 October 1891)
- Thomas Bruce Ismay (18 February 1894 – 27 April 19548), who married Jane Margaret Seymour
- Evelyn Constance Ismay (17 July 1897 – 9 August 1940), who married Basil Sanderson (1894–1971) in 1927
- George Bruce Ismay (6 June 1902 – 30 April 1943), who married Florence Victoria Edrington in 1926.9
In 1891, Ismay returned with his family to the United Kingdom and became a partner in his father's firm, Ismay, Imrie and Company. In 1899, Thomas Ismay died, and Bruce Ismay became head of the family business. Ismay had a head for business, and the White Star Line flourished under his leadership. In addition to running his ship business, Ismay also served as a director of several other companies. In 1901, he was approached by Americans who wished to build an international shipping conglomerate, which agreed to merge his firm into the International Mercantile Marine Company.4
As the chairman of White Star Line
After the death of his father on 23 November 1899,1011 Bruce Ismay succeeded him as the chairman of White Star Line. He decided to build four ocean liners to surpass the RMS Oceanic built by his father: the ships were dubbed the Big Four: RMS Celtic, RMS Cedric, RMS Baltic, and RMS Adriatic. These vessels were designed more for luxury and for speed than safety.12
In 1902, Ismay negotiated the sale of the White Star Line to J.P. Morgan & Co., which was organising the formation of International Mercantile Marine Company, an Atlantic shipping combine which absorbed several major American and British lines. IMM was a holding company that controlled subsidiary operating corporations. Morgan hoped to dominate transatlantic shipping through interlocking directorates and contractual arrangements with the railroads, but that proved impossible because of the unscheduled nature of sea transport, American antitrust legislation, and an agreement with the British government.13 White Star Lines became one of the IMM operating companies and, in February 1904, Ismay became president of the IMM, with the support of Morgan.14
RMS Titanic
In 1907, Ismay met Lord Pirrie of the Harland & Wolff shipyard to discuss White Star's answer to the RMS Lusitania and the RMS Mauretania,b the recently unveiled marvels of their chief competitor, Cunard Line. Ismay's new type of ship would not be as fast as their competitors, but it would have huge steerage capacity and luxury unparalleled in the history of ocean-going steamships. The latter feature was largely meant to attract the wealthy and the prosperous middle class. To accommodate the luxurious features Ismay ordered the number of lifeboats reduced from 48 to 16, the latter being the minimum allowed by the Board of Trade, based on the Titanic's projected tonnage.1516 Three ships of the Olympic Class were planned and built; the second was the RMS Titanic, which began its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City, on 10 April 1912. The first and third ships of this class were the RMS Olympic and HMHS Britannic.
Ismay occasionally accompanied his ships on their maiden voyages, and this was the case with the Titanic.4 During the voyage, Ismay talked with either (or possibly both) chief engineer Joseph Bell or captain Edward Smith about a possible test of speed if time permitted.17 When the ship hit an iceberg 400 miles south of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and started sinking on the night of 14 April 1912, Ismay was rescued in Collapsible Lifeboat C.18 He testified that as the ship was in her final moments, he turned away, unable to watch his creation sink beneath the waters of the North Atlantic. He was taken aboard the Cunard liner RMS Carpathia and arrived in New York on 18 April. Ismay later testified at the Titanic disaster inquiry hearings held by both the U.S. Senate (chaired by Senator William Alden Smith) the following day, and the British Board of Trade (chaired by Lord Mersey) a few weeks later.
After being picked up by the Carpathia, Ismay was led to the cabin belonging to the ship's doctor, Frank Mcgee. He gives Captain Rostron a message to send to White Star's New York office: "Deeply regret advise you Titanic sank this morning after collision with iceberg, resulting in serious loss of life. Full particulars later." Ismay would not leave Dr. Mcgee's cabin for the entire journey, ate nothing solid, and was kept under the influence of opiates.1920 Fellow survivor Jack Thayer visited Ismay to try to console him.
|[Ismay] was staring straight ahead, shaking like a leaf. Even when I spoke to him, he paid absolutely no attention. I have never seen a man so completely wrecked.
— Jack Thayer, First Class passenger on Titanic
When he arrived in New York, Ismay was hosted by Philip Franklin, vice president of the company. He also received a summons to appear before a Senate committee headed by Republican Senator William Alden Smith.
After the disaster, Ismay was savaged by both the American and the British press for deserting the ship while women and children were still on board. Some papers called him the "Coward of the Titanic" or "J. Brute Ismay" and suggested that the White Star flag be changed to a yellow liver. Some ran negative cartoons depicting him deserting the ship. The writer Ben Hecht, then a young newspaperman in Chicago, wrote a scathing poem contrasting the actions of Capt. Smith and Ismay. The final verse reads: "To hold your place in the ghastly face of death on the sea at night is a seaman's job, but to flee with the mob, is an owner's noble right."21
Some maintain Ismay followed the "women and children first" principle, having assisted many women and children himself. He and first-class passenger William Carter said they boarded Collapsible C after there were no more women and children near that particular lifeboat. Carter's own behaviour and reliability, however, were criticised by Mrs. Carter, who sued him for divorce in 1914; she testified Carter had left her and their children to fend for themselves after the crash and accused him of "cruel and barbarous treatment and indignities to the person."22 London society ostracised Ismay and labelled him one of the biggest cowards in history. Strong negative press came particularly from newspapers owned by William Randolph Hearst, who some claimed fostered a personal vendetta.23 On 30 June 1913, Ismay resigned as president of International Mercantile Marine and chairman of the White Star Line, to be succeeded by Harold Sanderson.
Ismay announced during the United States Inquiry that all the vessels of the International Mercantile Marine Company would be equipped with lifeboats in sufficient numbers for all passengers.24 Following the inquiry, Ismay and the surviving officers of the ship returned to England aboard RMS Adriatic. Ismay's reputation was irreparably damaged and he maintained a low public profile after the disaster. He did maintain an interest in maritime affairs. He inaugurated a cadet ship called Mersey used to train officers for Britain's Merchant Navy, donated £11,000 to start a fund for lost seamen, and in 1919 gave £25,000 (£972,760 as of 2014)25 to set up a fund to recognise the contribution of merchant mariners in World War I.26
Later life
Ismay kept out of the public eye for most of the remainder of his life. He retired from active affairs in the mid-1920s, and settled with his wife in a large 'cottage', Costelloe Lodge, near Costelloe in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland. His health declined in the 1930s, following a diagnosis of diabetes, which took a turn for the worse in early 1936, when the illness resulted in amputation of part of his right leg. He returned to England a few months later, settling in a small house on the Wirral across the River Mersey from Liverpool. J. Bruce Ismay died in Mayfair, London, on 17 October 1937, of a cerebral thrombosis (stroke), at the age of 74. His funeral was held on 21 October 1937, and he is buried in Putney Vale Cemetery, London.27 He was survived by his wife, Florence Schieffelin. After his death, she renounced her British subject status in order to restore her American citizenship on 14 November 1949. Julia Florence Ismay, née Schieffelin, died 31 December 1963, aged 92, in Kensington, London.
During the congressional investigations, some passengers testified that during the voyage they heard Ismay pressuring Captain Edward J. Smith to go faster, in order to arrive in New York ahead of schedule and generate some free press about the new liner. The 2000 book The White Star Line: An Illustrated History by Paul Louden-Brown states that this was unlikely, and that Ismay's record does not support the notion that he had any motive to do so.23 In addition, many captains have attested that the procedure is to run the ship at full speed.28

Phil Jones' value goes beyond numbers
Phil Jones, wow. Few other footballers have so well demonstrated the limits of mere statistics. When Manchester United defeated Arsenal by a single goal to nil, there was no one figure that pointed to Jones' remarkable influence on the outcome. Sure, there was an interception or two here, a block or three there, even a somewhat puzzling yellow card. But, as yet, the humble number-crunchers of Opta have not come up with an accurate measure for tone-setting, and so Jones' greatest talent must so far go unrecorded.
• Payne: RVP brings Arsenal back to earth
He's Phil Jones: He Sets Tones: not quite as catchy as "Paul Scholes, he scores goals", but every bit as accurate. From the beginning against Arsenal, Jones showed the type of tenacity and aggression that have so usefully disrupted the Londoners' passing rhythm over the years. When he was moved into the centre of defence after half time, following a horrible injury sustained by Nemanja Vidic, Arsenal suddenly became bolder in their approach, like woodland creatures coming out to play after the grizzly bear has wandered safely past.
Jones has considerable presence, which is perhaps surprising since, at first glance, he doesn't look all that imposing. Sure, he's tall, but there's not an obvious menace about him. He has the air, instead, of an obedient yet somewhat distracted schoolchild. You can imagine him in short sleeves, a slightly-loosed tie and a baseball cap with its peak tilted to one side. He seems blissfully devoid of guile or malice, and instead the type of person who is endlessly useful about the place. Close your eyes and you can almost see him helping out the club's groundstaff as they mark out the touchlines and hammer the nets into the turf.
Phil Jones: the handyman of Old Trafford. Many clubs have had caretaker managers, but few have had a caretaker midfielder: a man brought in as a stopgap whilst the search continues for a long-term replacement. However Jones, in the word so hated by Rafa Benitez when he was at Chelsea, is one hell of an interim. His performance against Arsenal is precisely the type of game that Marouane Fellaini, all 27 million pounds of him, will hopefully one day produce. As the Belgium international looked on, Jones delivered a 45-minute clinic in the defensive midfield arts, before dropping back alongside Jonny Evans for the rest of the match. You get the impression that, if needed, he would play as a target man without complaint. In this vein, he's similar to Phil Neville and John O'Shea, the other leading utility men of the modern Manchester United era.
Unlike Neville and O'Shea, though, Jones already has a talismanic quality about him: with increasing frequency, it is a relief for Manchester United fans to see him on the team-sheet. This is not to overlook his areas for improvement -- his technique and passing range put him a rung or two below the elite in defensive midfield -- but it is significant that, though still only 21 years of age, he is tasked and trusted with some of the game's biggest assignments. Last night, he added Mesut Ozil to the list of players whose impact he has helped to minimise, along with Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Andres Iniesta. Of course, he can't claim sole responsibility for their discomfort against his teams, but it's pretty revealing that each of these attackers seems to have had an off-night when lined up against him.
As said at the start, it's all about tone-setting; and, among the current ranks of young Manchester United outfield players, there are a cluster of characters who can claim such a talent. Jones is one of them, alongside Adnan Januzaj and Rafael: on Sunday night against Arsenal, he provided fresh evidence that his is a backbone on which David Moyes can rest considerable pressure. Jones was acquired for a sum believed to be in the region of 17 million pounds, a sum which intrigued many at the time. However, with each match that he subdues vastly more expensive attackers, that fee -- to paraphrase the late, great Aaliyah -- "ain't nothin' but a number".

I'm always impressed at the bad design issues we'll put up with because we don't know any better. Think back to all of the classic games we grew up loving only to experience them again a decade later and find them practically unplayable. A perfect example of this would have the be the original Tomb Raider, the classic 1996 adventure game that introduced the world to one of the biggest video game stars of all time, Lara Croft. With its insanely frustrating puzzles, unflinchingly difficult jumps and a control scheme that seemed to work against you at every turn, Tomb Raider is one of those games that are almost impossible to enjoy eleven years later.
Perhaps this is the reason that Eidos Interactive (along with developer Crystal Dynamics) felt that it was a perfect candidate to be remade. A lot of game remakes fall into the trap of only updating the graphics and sound, but in Tomb Raider: Anniversary the developers have gone back to not only reimage the best elements from the first game, but fix all of the problems that makes the 1996 version so unplayable. It may not do anything new or original, but this classic remake is a much needed reminder of why everybody liked the original Tomb Raider all those years ago.
This brand new Xbox 360 game turns out to not be very new at all. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is actually a port of a game that was released on the PlayStation 2, PSP and PC earlier in the year. This not quite new, not quite old video game remake is built out of the same engine that powered the 2006 surprise hit, Tomb Raider Legends. In some ways that's a good thing, since Tomb Raider Legends was hailed as a return to form for Lara Croft. But at the same time this opens up the possibility for critics to argue that this is nothing more than a shameless cash cow. I don't subscribe to the latter way of thinking; instead I'm happy to see Lara's first adventure retold using this brand new engine.
If you haven't played the original Tomb Raider (or any Tomb Raider game, for that matter), then here's what you've been missing: Tomb Raider tells the story of a young female adventurer named Lara Croft (think: Indiana Jones with enormous breasts). In this particular adventure we find Lara fighting through the lost tomb of Qualopec in hopes of recovering a mysterious artifact called the Scion of Atlantis. Of course, finding the Scion isn't going to be as easy as it sounds. In order to succeed Lara is going to have to brave the dark caves, fight plenty of wild animals and solve a number of difficult puzzles. She's also going to have to use her acrobatic skills to jump over large holes, climb up rocks and shimmy through tight areas. Will you be able to weather the elements and survive long enough to find the artifact? Let's hope so, because Lara is depending on you.
While the simple story is nothing to write home about, it does its job to set up a reason for you to get yourself into exotic locations so that you can solve puzzles, make extremely difficult jumps and fight a bunch of animals and dinosaurs. It's the exploration coupled with the ingenious puzzles that makes Tomb Raider what it is, and if that's what you're looking for then this remake will deliver the goods. Obviously if you're looking for an involving story, non-stop action and mindless fun, then Tomb Raider isn't for you. But then again, by now you should know what to expect from a Tomb Raider game ... especially one that came out eleven years ago.
As in the original 1996 game, Tomb Raider: Anniversary will take you all over the world in search of adventure and hidden treasure. You'll start out your quest in Peru searching through dangerous caves, eventually you'll move on to abandoned buildings in Greece, the temples of Egypt and the mines and pyramids of the Lost City. All along the way you will be asked to solve increasingly more difficult puzzles that will require you to hunt down specific items and intimately learn your surroundings. While the puzzles in the first few areas won't seem that hard, by the time you've made it to Egypt and the Lost City you'll be rushing for the guide to see just exactly where you're supposed to go and what you're supposed to do. The good news is that none of the puzzles feel nonsensical, you always feel like these brain teasers fit in with the environment and what you're trying to do.

Greeted by friendly and helpful staff who arranged our horse trip for the following day. Our room was a bit dull but clean. If you want more natural light, and a volcano view, you need to ask for an upstairs room. But ours was fine since there are lots of nice rocking chairs on the upstairs sitting area. I was also impressed with the large and well appointed shared kitchen and free coffee. 24 hr front desk attendant a plus. Close but not in the hustle of the main road. Good value.

Nice enough room with two fans but the window didn't have a screen in it so you had to choose between being eaten by bugs or being super hot. Wifi didn't reach our room. Pillows were unnaturally stiff and the mattress cover would not stay on the bed. Communal kitchen was nice enough.

We stayed in Dorothy for 2 nights. The location is good in downtown la fortuna but we were really disappointed by the standard of this hotel. First of all our room smelled funky and there was something in the corner that looked like mold. There were also tiny bugs all over the beds and during our stay our room wasnt cleaned once, they didnt even empty the bin in the bath room.

Medina Journal-Register — For the second consecutive year, a Western New York community has earned the right to be called an Ultimate Fishing Town.
Point Breeze, in the Town of Carlton, led all U.S. vote getters in the recently held contest on WFN: World Fishing Network. Olcott won the distinction last year.
Both Point Breeze and Port Colborne, Ontario, will receive a $25,000 community donation to be used for fishing-related causes and will be honored in separate ceremonies hosted by WFN's Ultimate Fishing Town host, Mariko Izumi, later this month.
WFN will also produce a video feature about the great fishing both of these Ultimate Fishing Towns offer. It will be presented on-air and online throughout the year.
"I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Port Colborne and Point Breeze, winners of WFN's Ultimate Fishing Town for 2013, and commend the regional and affiliate winners, too," said Pam Stinson, Senior Director of Marketing for World Fishing Network. "The accomplishment of being named Ultimate Fishing Town demonstrates pride, passion and enthusiasm from start to finish, and it wouldn't be possible without the commitment and dedication of all those who participated, and to all of you I say 'thank you'" she added.
700 towns in the U.S. and Canada received nominations and were eligible to advance in the quest to become the next Ultimate Fishing Town. Participants were asked to nominate where he or she believes is the best place to fish. Town walls were then populated with videos, photos and written comments to promote the community's candidacy and reinforce why the town is deserving of Ultimate Fishing Town honors.
Point Breeze is formed where the Oak Orchard River flows into Lake Ontario and offers outstanding fishing year-round, with species including brown trout, salmon and steelhead.
"We are a small fishing town elated to win the title of Ultimate Fishing Town," Point Breeze resident and town nominator Sharon Narburgh said. "We have a unique small town with many needs for our fishery and are thankful to our residents and anglers for their diligence in voting."
Port Colborne, part of the Niagara Region of southern Ontario, is located on the north shore of Lake Erie where the species are numerous. Between the Welland Canal and the Niagara River, Port Colborne's waterways are world renowned. Big names like Bob Izumi love to fish these waters, as do tournaments like the 444 Walleye Tournament, the Can-Am Invitational and the past Pro Am bass tournament to name a few.

His Northwestern team dropped consecutive losses to Nebraska and Michigan. Averaging close to 14 points per game, the senior scored only six and seven, respectively. He shot only 21 percent in the two contests combined, and the Wildcats stumbled accordingly.
The struggles were uncharacteristic for Hearn, who has emerged as Northwestern's best player and emotional leader. Going into Saturday's game against Purdue, head coach Bill Carmody had some words of wisdom for his star: just relax.
"I told [Hearn] this should be the best time of your life," he said. "You're here at a Big Ten school, getting a Northwestern degree. You look sad and all that, just go out there and play. Don't listen to me—do what you do and that'll be enough. He did that today."
Hearn gave more than enough for the Wildcats to defeat the Boilermakers, tallying a career-high 26 points and escaping his two-game rut in a 75-60 victory. He attributed some of his success to Carmody's advice, but also the simple Northwestern mantra of making shots.
"Maybe there were times when I was pressing a little bit," said Hearn. "There were times I felt like I wasn't really finding my role in the offense, maybe thinking a little bit too much. Today I stayed within the offense, released it and found my shot."
Much of Hearn's impact came early on, and in a huge way. At halftime he accounted for 21 points, knocking down his first nine shots. Hearn and teammate Dave Sobolewski came out firing, sparking Northwestern to a 12-0 run to open the game.
"[The coaches] wanted to let us get out and go a bit," said Sobolewski. "We did a good job with that early. We hit a couple of shots and Reggie had an awesome first half, which helped us get a good lead."
Purdue head coach Matt Painter attested to the difficulty of preparing for Northwestern and its offense. The Boilermakers knew full well what Hearn was capable of, but couldn't bottle up the Wildcats' leading scorer.
"We treated [Hearn] as a big-time shooter," said Painter. "Whether it was a pin-down off an out-of-bounds play, a transition shot or a piece of their offense, he was getting into rhythm and you can't let that happen."
Northwestern needs Hearn at his best as it wraps up its Big Ten schedule, beginning with Iowa on the road Saturday. Priming for a strong finish, the senior appears to have broken out of his scoring funk. By keeping things simple, Hearn will dictate just how far his team can go.
"He's a thoughtful guy, and sometimes smart guys think a little too much," said Carmody. "You have to just go do what you've worked hard at for a long time."

STL County approves preliminary Boeing incentive package
When the state of Missouri presents it's economic package to Boeing Tuesday, it'll include an extra tax incentive from St. Louis County.
Monday night, the County Council unanimously approved a preliminary package that could be worth as much as $1.8 billion if Boeing agrees to build the 777X commercial airliner near Lambert Airport. The specific form of the incentives will take has not yet been determined, but could include TIFs, or tax increment financing.
Both County Executive Charlie Dooley and St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay addressed the County Council last night in an effort to win the incentives. Both made the case that the number of jobs the plant would bring would mean a significant economic boost to the region. Production of the plane could bring as many as 8,000 new jobs to the St. Louis area.
With the county incentives and the tax breaks approved by state lawmakers last week, Missouri's bid to win the plant is worth nearly $3.5 billion over 20 years.
More than a dozen communities are vying for the new Boeing plant. The aerospace company is expected to make a decision in January 2014.
Key vote on McKee's NorthSide plan expected
A key Aldermanic committee is expected to vote Wednesday morning on tax incentives for Paul McKee's NorthSide Regeneration plan.
Passage of the updated $390 million TIF isn't assured, but the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that its chances are better after a hearing yesterday. U.S. Congressman Lacy Clay, Mayor Francis Slay, and other voiced strong support for the two square mile development north of downtown.
No vote was taken yesterday because half of the eight-member Housing, Urban Development and Zoning Committee was absent from the meeting. Five committee members must be present for a quorum.
The Aldermen missing from Tuesday's committee hearing were Terry Kennedy, who was attending a funeral. Sam Moore, who's recuperating from a bad car accident last week. Antonio French and Chris Carter, whose absence was unexplained. Neither could be reached for comment. Board President Lewis Reed could have filled in, but his staff told the paper that he was out of town.
If the committee approves the changes to the TIF, it will then go before the full Board of Aldermen, where it's chances of passage have improved.
Alderman Freeman Bosley Senior, whose ward makes up a large part of the project area, had opposed the project, but has apparently changed his mind. Bosley toured the project area with McKee last Wednesday and told the paper that after seeing McKee's plans, he doesn't know anyone who would oppose it.
STL Aldermen consider McKee's Northside TIF this week
A U.S. Congressman and the Mayor of St. Louis will both go before the Board of Aldermen this week in hopes of forwarding the long-stalled Northside Regeneration Project.
Aldermen are considering a bill that would tweak developer Paul McKee's nearly $400 million tax increment financing package to account for delays suffered while the city fought a lawsuit against it.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the fate of the project's TIF is unclear.
Congressman William Lacy Clay and St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay will speak in favor the 1,500 acre project. But only one of the five aldermen whose wards make up the project area just north of downtown, 5th Ward Alderwoman Tammika Hubbard, clearly supports Northside.
And one, Alderman Freeman Bosley Senior, has threatened to block the bill if there isn't more community input in the project and better protections for current homeowners.
"Major milestone" reached for Menards development in Hadley Township
City officials in Richmond Heights are calling it "a major milestone" in the redevelopment of the southern half of Hadley Township. The City Council on Monday evening approved a redevelopment agreement with Menard Inc.
The $63 million project includes $15 million in tax increment financing.
Once the site plan receives final city approval, the Wisconsin-based hardware retailer can set closing dates for 99 residential parcels it's buying east of Hanley Road.
"After many years of battling through unresponsive developers and the worst economy in many years, everyone's hard work is coming to fruition," Richmond Heights Mayor Jim Beck said. "The residents in the southern section of Hadley will be well set for the future. Richmond Heights will benefit from another great retailer."
Menard's plans to build a two-story, 224,000 square foot home improvement store on the land just north of Maplewood's Walmart complex, and additional retail space along Hanley Road.
Ellisville Walmart saga continues as permits set to expire
The conditional use permits issued for a proposed new Walmart in Ellisville are set to expire Thursday, and the fate of the project remains unclear.
Developer Sansone won a major court challenge to the $50 million project last week, but still has acquired only about eight acres of land and that doesn't include the Clarkchester Apartments. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that contracts Sansone had with some of the complex's nine owners expired in July, and at least two have declined to renew.
The city issued a building permit Wednesday and Public Works Director Bill Schwer told the paper Sansone could break ground Thursday on the property it does own.
But at Wednesday night's city council meeting, Mayor Adam Paul asked City Attorney George Restovich to find out if the city could legally terminate its agreement with Sansone which includes $10 million in tax increment financing approved last year, before half the council was replaced in the last election.
Also Wednesday night, the City Council voted 4-3 to have Restovich draft a resolution terminating long-time City Manager Kevin Bookout, a proponent of the project. Bookout was also involved in the attempt to oust Mayor Paul earlier this year, but Paul says Bookout's termination isn't about revenge.
Menards plan approved for Hadley Township
Residents in the southern part of Hadley Township may finally know the fate of their community.
The Richmond Heights City Council Tuesday night unanimously approved a plan for a $63 million Menards development. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the approval includes $15 million in tax increment financing for the redeveloper, Menard Inc., to cover some development costs.
The paper reports that by the end of the year, the developers plan to notify property owners of closing dates on their sale contracts.
The new retail development will be east of Hanley Road, between of Maplewood's Walmart development and I-64/40.
Ellisville Walmart wins court battle, but still in doubt
One more obstacle to the proposed Ellisville Walmart is out of the way. An appeals court has sided with the developer after a resident had sued the city for issuing a conditional use permit to for construction of the 155,000 square foot retail store.
Thomas DeBold had sued claimed that city officials had ignored resident's concerns and that the Walmart will negatively impact traffic, overtax utilities and city services. Circuit Court Judge David Lee Vincent had sided with the city, and the appeals court upheld Vincent's ruling.
But it may be too little too late, since the permit expires September 5th and the Ellisville City Council last week declined to extend it.
McKee's NorthSide plan under fire at TIF hearing
Developer Paul McKee's NorthSide Regeneration Project remains up in the air. The St. Louis TIF Commission delayed a vote yesterday on changes to the $390 million dollar TIF plan after residents demand more information.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that residents of the near-northside neighborhood spent nearly two hours criticizing McKee for failing to include them in his plans, and at least one key alderman threatened to block the project unless neighborhood concerns are addressed.
McKee says he's held more than 140 community meetings since unveiling plan four years ago.
New public TIF hearing on massive NorthSide project set for Wednesday
After three years of lawsuits, developer Paul McKee is hoping to restart his stalled NorthSide Regeneration Project.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the city's Tax Increment Finance Commission will hold a public hearing Wednesday on McKee's request for some changes to the $390 million TIF package that the Board of Aldermen had approved for for the project four years ago.
A spokesman for the project says they need officials to restart the clock the 1,500 acre redevelopment.
The public hearing also gives residents another chance to chime in.
McKee says if he wins the TIF changes, ground could be broken next spring on the 2 square mile development site north of downtown.
Crestwood residents march over stalled mall
Some Crestwood residents say city leaders are dragging their feet on a plan to redevelop the shuttered Crestwood Plaza. Dozens of people marched from the old mall to City Hall Tuesday to express their concern.
Developer Centrum Properties wants to turn the site into an entertainment center with a movie theater, bowling alley, restaurants and retail stores. But their plan calls for $22 million in taxpayer subsidies -- a figure Crestwood Mayor Jeff Schlink says he and many aldermen are not "comfortable" with.
"If we're going to grant and issue those tax breaks for them," Schlink said, "they're going to have to be done on terms that we feel are reasonable for the city."
Centrum officials say if they can't work things out, they may have to sell the land one parcel at a time.

Slim Tricks: 7 Surprising Ways to Improve Weight Loss
I've been gaining and losing weight over and over again over the last 15 years. This growing older has resulted in a metabolic rate is equal to that of a deep nap. Long gone are the days when I could come home from school and eat 6 bowls of corn flakes and not gain a single pound. It seems now if I eat one extra bowl of cereal in a week I have to run out and buy pants in a larger size. Over the years as I've dropped weight, I've discovered a few tricks that have helped me without all the stress that comes with sticking to a stricter than strict diet. Not everything I've done will work for everyone, and none of the tips are major revelations or giant life changing events. But what I've found is that if I follow these few little adjustments I've discovered over the years, the weight comes off faster and I have a tendency to stick to the regiment for a longer period of time.

Alan McInally has picked his dream team of players from the 2010 World Cup. Who makes the cut?Back to story
Casillas Lahm, Puyol, Mertesacker, Contrau Schweinsteiger Schneider Xavi Ozil Villa Iniesta unlucky to miss out: Suarez Forland Ozil Muller Van Bommel Van der Wiel Sergio Ramos Pique Messi Lucio
Posted 16:54 12th July 2010
Casillas Lahm Puyol Pique Ramos Xavi Iniesta Sneider Muler Villa Forlan
Posted 16:52 12th July 2010
No Muller, No Sneijder. Van Bommel, your having a laugh Alan McInally, simple fact is you'll always be biased towards Bayern players, Van Bommel is an aminal. I'd take Klose out for Muller.
Posted 16:45 12th July 2010
Decent composition. In my opinion, Sergio Ramos was a bit more explosive in attack and did well enough in defence to be considered as the better RB. Cant agree with Van Bommel, I'd have to agree with Declan Mcgrath, "Van Bommel is nothing more than a hacker". I think Cruyff summed it perfectly, "Johan Cruyff on Monday slammed the style of play of his compatriots during Sunday's World Cup final against Spain as "dirty" and "ugly". Van bommel did nothing constructive in terms of football but more so, attempted to spoil the rhythm of the spanish team but also in general throughout the world cup, so definately Xavi?Sneijder. Mueller over Klose definately. Put Klose in a team battling to put together a few passes and he'll be nowhere. I would also definately have Messi in there. Perhaps at the expense of Mueller. Arguble.
Posted 16:30 12th July 2010
There are many selections in your side that I'd turn my nose up at, namely Casillas, Lahm, Contreau, VAN BOMMEL, Klose and can someone please explain why Forlan is appearing in everybody's teams. Apart from being able to strike a Frido ball that bent three different ways for a total fluke of a goal against Ghana, just what has he done to deserve the acolades showered upon him - I'm afraid I'm missing something here. It's been the poorest World Cup I can remember and I can go back to the Battle of Santiago in 1962. I believe the end product from it all will show coaches that it actually is practical to play with not one, but TWO holding players in front of the back four as both Holland and Spain achieved the necessary results and have got away with this method. I think we are in for a really boring Premiership this forthcoming season if coaches see this as the way forward.
Posted 16:23 12th July 2010
I would of picked Wesley Sneijder instead of van bommel without a doubt !!!
Posted 16:18 12th July 2010
No Sergio Ramos?????
Posted 16:10 12th July 2010
Casillas Lugano, Puyol, Ramos, Ashley Cole Busquets Muller Xavi Sniejder Forlan Villa
Posted 16:04 12th July 2010
i think its a really good team, but theres a problem and that problem is Thomas muller he was a shining star in the world cup and is also at a such young age he should be in that team thanks
Posted 15:43 12th July 2010
YOU KEEP THE BEST OUT... Xavi = best and most passes in WC, not to mention the best midfielder in the world in the last 4 years.. Sneijder = score 5 and man of the match 4 times.. Messi = the best player in group stage.. AND KEEP THE WORST IN ... MVB is the worst anti-football in this WC.. Klose is tap-in commodity.. Puyol is always the weak spot for Spain defences..
Posted 15:43 12th July 2010
Two left backs in 1 team, 2 holding players. this team would struggle to win 1-0 let alone 10
Posted 15:35 12th July 2010
Van Bommel is nothing more than a hacker, how a football expect like your self can choose Van Bommel above Xavi is beyond me. Personally I would have Muller, who I thought had an amazing WC ahead of Klose
Posted 15:28 12th July 2010
How can ne1 put schweinsteiger ahead of sneidjer? Yes schweinteiger was great but sneidjer was the heart and soul of the dutch side. I think he combined the vision of xavi with the goalscoring touch of villa. Without him the dutch were fairly ordinary.
Posted 15:14 12th July 2010
I think I would of picked Wesley Sneijder or Thomas Muller, these are the two players that really impressed me at this World Cup.
Posted 15:08 12th July 2010
no sneijder? ure whole composition is wrong, drop Klose and put Villa up front sneijder and iniesta will supply
Posted 15:02 12th July 2010
casillas maicon pique puyol melo robben sneider xavi iniesta villa forlan/klose

'Looking at Time' exhibit on display through June 23 "Looking at Time, " an exhibition of small fine art prints by Michael Florian Jilg, is on display in Gallery 110 of the Warren M. Lee Center for the Fine Arts at The University of South Dakota.
The show, an exhibition of small etchings and lithographs, will run through June 23. The artwork in this exhibition was completed between 1985 and 1992.
The earliest of the small prints started as handmade Christmas gifts and have evolved into a powerful variation of scale for the artist. The subject matter reflects Jilg's fascination with layers of civilization created and destroyed by the human animal.
Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Jilg, a native Kansan, is a painter and printmaker. He teaches the fall and spring semesters at Fort Hays (KS) State University. A past Governors Visual Artist honoree, he has exhibited with, or is a member of the Boston Printmakers, The Philadelphia Print Club, Santa Reparata Graphics Institute of Florence, Italy, and Studio Camnitzer of Valdottavo, Italy.
He has been awarded lifetime membership in the prestigious Gabinetto Disegni E Stampe Degli Uffizi in Florence. Jilg's work has been published in A Kansas Collection, The Best of Kansas Arts and Crafts, and is represented in Who's Who in American Art.
Jilg's resume includes over 200 exhibitions and representations in museum collections in the U.S., England and Asia.

How we register charities
The Charity Commission's core role is to protect the public's interest in charity.
Considering applications to register a charity
We refer to the legal framework when considering every application to register a charity. We use the information provided to make a decision about whether an organisation is capable of being registered as a charity.
We expect applicants to be clear about their charity's purposes and understand the requirements of being a charity. This means that:
- applicants need to demonstrate that their organisation is charitable - we only provide general guidance
- applicants need to have decided that their organisation is eligible for charitable status and to have understood their role and responsibilities
- we apply fewer resources to assessing charities with model or standard governing documents to speed up registration in these cases
- we focus more resources on novel and complex applications which involve issues that might affect charitable status or which test or develop the charity framework
We received a registration application from a parent teacher association using a model governing document agreed with us by the umbrella body for parent teacher associations. The application showed that the organisation's activities are directed to charitable purposes for the public benefit and all of the information we needed, including about the trustees, was complete. This type of registration we would process quickly.
We received a registration application from a local bridge club with a purpose to advance amateur sport by promoting the game of bridge. To be charitable the applicant had to demonstrate that the playing of bridge is capable of promoting a person's health. We considered the evidence provided to us by the applicant and were satisfied that this had been demonstrated and that all other aspects of charitable status and public benefit were satisfied. The club was registered as a charity, the first of its kind to be registered.

Polaroids as Wall Decor
[images: From the Flickr page of Luciano Noble, used with the permission of the photographer]
20 Comments
I must be jaded and have watched too many movies but this looks like it could be a stalkers wall, a neat and organized one.
As a recovering stalker I find this very appealing
Heh. It's just like the wall of the Satan character from Highway 61. Which reminds me: I have to re-watch that movie. It's awesome. :)
That's very cool. I wonder if something could be done to equal effect with my collection of postcards.
How are those held up? Thumbtacks? Glue? It would be nice if it were a solution that wouldn't hurt the photos, or the wall...
Something a little creepy about this.
I have to say, I have friend who moved in with someone who does this (meaning documents in film format everyone who enters his house, even for 5 seconds), and I find it really unsettling. It actually makes me want to visit the house less often, since I'm sort of shy and don't like mugging for the camera. It sucks that seeing my friend now means trading in a bit of my privacy and comfort.
In short, a cool project, but not if you take everyone's consent to participate in it for granted.
I did a triple row of postcards around the top of my cubicle and loved it. Used museum putty to hang the postcards on the drywall side of my cubicle. Used a piece of regular tape on the cloth side of my cubicle with museum putty on the postcard.
it just seems a bit overboard and a slight bit creepy. having all those people look at you!!! yikers!
i like it
yeah but if you can do any picture with a digital camera it wouldn't have to be people it could be a load of abstract pictures or landscapes. i agree the people one is a bit weird.
but maybe it they were like club photos, people dancing, hand on a drink etc it wouldn't be so weird as just a bunch of surprised faces
lol I enjoy this, very reminiscent of "One-Hour Photo" with my boy Robbin Williams... so eerie!
I'm actually doing something similar to this for my dorm room - I'm going to have a wall of black and white photos. Only mine will be not of people, but of places - so a little less creepy.
my friend moved in with someone that has this kinda thing going on. it's super sweet. not at all creepy, as most of the people were posing for the pics. i mean, if you're posing... wouldn't you rather be in a fun display than hidden in an album?
also, boohoo on the death of the polaroid. maybe this will mark a comeback!
Funny what nick0326 says because I was just about to say it looks like a teenager's room or a dorm room. And that's not good unless you're a student.
I've always loved polaroids--which is why I love love LOVE this free download for mac and windows:
try using those glue dots that come on cardboard in a package. neat, removable and photo-safe. or try an old school graphic designer's trick: brush rubber cement on wall and on back of photo, let dry til just tacky and put up your photo. makes a good but easy to remove bond.
I Like it. I did this a few years ago, but after a few months all my pictures sort of folded in on themselves. How does one keep that from happening?
OK, but what about cleaning the wall? Do you try and dust around all of them? Or maybe you leave that to the hired help...
I don't find this in the least creepy - I might if these actually were "surprised faces", but I am familiar with this photographer's work, and I know that every single one of these images is a stunning close-up Polaroid portrait, taken with time, care, and sensitivity....
@malizindie if you really loved polaroids I'm surprised you like poladroids - they're ghastly. the colors are completely wrong and the program adds a an obviously fake vignette to each image. If you have to create fakes the Shake It app for the iphone does a much better job.
But even better, wait until later this year when The Impossible Project factory begins churning out REAL instant film and shoot that instead: http://www.the-impossible-project.com/

Antonio Cassano
- Squad No: 99
- Position: Forward
- Age: 31
- Birth Date: Jul 12, 1982
- Birth Place: Bari, Italy
- Height: 5' 9'' (1.75m)
- Weight: 80 kg
2013/14 Italian Serie A
A poor kid from the Southern Italian city of Bari, Cassano was born a day after Italy won the 1982 World Cup and burst onto the scene as a 17-year-old with a wonder goal against Inter. However, he failed to live up to his massive potential as controversy followed him throughout his career and he remains a figure who divides opinion.
The world's most expensive teenager in 2003, he moved to Roma for 30 million euros but was unable to settle under any of the many managers who tried to get the best out of him. Showing signs of quality on the pitch, he clashed with the club over a contract renewal off it and joined Real Madrid for just 5 million euros in 2006.
Reunited with Fabio Capello, he again clashed with management and was fined for gaining weight due to poor eating habits. Lasting just two seasons at the Bernabeu, he played less than 20 games for the club before joining Sampdoria on loan and then on a permanent deal a year later. There, he reinvented himself for a few seasons, while at the same time ending his hopes of playing for the national team with his now-trademark tantrums. Then a heated row with chairman Riccardo Garrone ended his time at Samp and, in January 2011, he joined AC Milan.
Strengths: Skilful and intelligent on the ball, Cassano has excellent vision and also impresses with his eye for goal.
Weaknesses: His mentality is his biggest downfall, tempestuous, hot-tempered and arrogant. His lack of focus has seen him fail to settle at any of his clubs.
Career high: A 30 million euro transfer to Roma aged 19 saw him become one of the world's most recognised players.
Career low: Cassano was handed a five-game ban in 2008 after throwing his shirt at a referee. Just one of many incidents that saw him excluded from the national team to the extent that he only made 20 appearances in eight years.
Style: Brash, skilful, confident, a potent scorer with a tough attitude.
Quotes: ''You're not coaching those useless players you had at Udinese. This isn't your house - it's my house.'' Cassano vents his anger at his former manager Luciano Spalletti.
Trivia: Amongst tales of bedding "600-700 women", Cassano declares in his autobiography Dico Tutto ('I'll Tell You Everything') that he would be brought post-coital pastries by a waiter at one of his regular hotels. "His job was to bring me three or four pastries after I had sex,'' he said. ''He would bring them up the stairs, I would escort the woman to him and we would make an exchange. Sex and then food, a perfect night."
