Greg Rucka: Action with Nightwing & Flamebird
Action Comics #871As DC Universe Executive Editor Dan DiDio revealed last week, not only will Superman be leaving Action Comics in 2009, his vacancy will be taken by Flamebird and Nightwing, two Kryptonian heroes who recently debuted as part of the "New Krypton" storyline in Action Comics #871. The creative team on the series from that point on? Writer Greg Rucka and artist Eddy Barrows.
So who are Flamebird and Nightwing?
Originally, they were heroes of the bottled city of Kandor – back in the Silver Age, they met (and knew) Superman, Batman and even Robin. In fact, back in the days of the Marv Wolfman and George Perez New Teen Titans, when Robin ditches his Robin identity, he chooses the name "Nightwing" as a tribute to the hero of Superman's homeworld, because Superman played an important role in his development as a man and a hero. But that's not important right now.
Neither are the other incarnations of Nightwing and Flamebird that have been seen around. As "New Krypon" has revealed, this is the true Brainaic, and the true Kandor, so this is the true Flamebird and Nightwing. (Flamebird, female, Nightwing, male).
And who are they? No one is telling, but everyone has ideas – thanks in large part to one of them using tactile telekinesis.
Newsarama caught up with Rucka over the weekend to talk about his upcoming run on the series and using the characters, and while the writer jokingly suggested that the interview's title should be "Rucka Refuses Comment," we were able to get a few bits of information out of him.
Here's what he had to say.
Newsarama: We understand that there's far more about Action Comics and Flamebird and Nightwing that you can't say than what you can, so let's start off by talking about how you ended up on the series in the first place. You've told us, and Dan DiDio has said that you've been quite busy with DC projects that have been behind the scenes. So basically, you were asked if you wanted to write Action Comics, which was followed by a big, "Oh, and by the way…"?
Greg Rucka: [laughs] Yeah – I've been working on at least one book for DC for over 18 months now, and we've been trying to get the timing right on that, and things smoothed out and figure out where we're going to launch it after Final Crisis, because Final Crisis is running a little long, shall we say. It's like the old television, before cable took over – what are the seasons, and when are you going to premiere a new "show" for lack of a better phrase. So there's a lot of stuff that's slating up for the summer, and I've been talking to Dan about Action for a while, and he approached me about the book two months ago.
NRAMA: And this fits in as part of the larger Superman plan?
GR: The Superman plan is a long-standing plan that James and Geoff came up with, and it's a lovely masterplan, and they know exactly where they want to go with it. So, with the plan in place, Dan was able to approach me and say, "Okay, this is what we're looking at…" and also point out the big open areas in the plan – we know the destinations, but a large part of the map leading to the destination is missing – and that's by design.
I talked to Geoff about it a couple of times, I talked some more with Dan about it, and had a really good conversation with Matt Idelson about it. I know Matt from way back when I was a part of the Batman Group, back when it was still called the Batman Group. And of course, Matt was the editor on Gotham Central for me and Ed and Michael, so Matt and I have a really good working relationship, and he and I had a very good conversation about the book. And in talking to Geoff, he had told me some very specific things about who's in the Nightwing costume that I had glommed on to and thought was just beautiful and something I could really run with – and it all went from there.
And then Idleson tells me that Eddy Barrows is drawing it, and I was so in. I mean, twist my arm. [laughs] Done deal.
I'm really lucky – I'm working with really, really talented artists on three different projects…only one of which and whom I can name right now [laughs].
NRAMA: Let's just get a quick confirmation on something Dan said when he talked about you coming on to Action - he said that both Flamebird and Nightwing are characters that we've seen before. True?
GR: That's true. You've seen both.
NRAMA: And this is Action Comics without Superman in it, right?
GR: Yeah – it's the Flamebird and Nightwing story, but it's still Action Comics. Immediately after Dan's Q&A went up here, I was getting questions asking if I was really going to write Action without Superman in it. But – with that said, "Superman's not in it" doesn't mean Superman's not "there." You can't have the DCU without Superman. Even when he was dead, he had a presence.
So no, he's not in Action, but everything that happens in Action is influenced by him, and a lot happens because of him. I know that's going to be small consolation for people who pick up Action to see Superman, because you're not going to see him in Action, but it's still Action Comics, it's still a Superman book, and his fingerprints are all over it. His morality, his ethic, who he is and what makes him Superman influences that book, and certainly influences Flamebird and Nightwing, even though Flamebird and Nightwing believe a very different mandate. They're very mission oriented, for lack of a better phrase. There's a specific arc that they're following over these 12 issues. On the face of it, people may think that this is being set up to really fly in the face of Superman, and it really doesn't. So much of what Superman is is about methodology – about how he does what he does, why he does what he does, what he's willing to do, and what he isn't willing to do. Those are huge influences that will remain in the book.
NRAMA: Will the character's identities be known to the readers before your first issue?
GR: Hopefully not before the first issue. But by the end of the first issue, yeah, you'll know. By the second issue, you'll know why, and by the third, you'll see that it's not at all easy for them. The fact of the matter is, if you put on costumes of mythical heroes from Krypton, you are setting a very high bar for yourself. So often, Nightwing and Flamebird get equated to Batman and Robin, but they're not. Their heroism is somewhat broader than that, if that makes sense. It gets dodgy when you start calling Batman a vigilante, but with this, there's less vigilantism and more heroism. And that goes back to what I said about Superman's influence – he's the ultimate hero, the ultimate role model. So – yeah, no Superman, Flamebird and Nightwing, Krypton reference, yeah, bar insanely high.
NRAMA: But at the same time, you're coming in to write characters that are relatively fresh, and aren't hooked to a ton of continuity that you have to adhere to and match its tone…for lack of a better way of saying it, you can be "you" on this book, rather than stepping into someone else's shoes…
GR: Yeah – for me, plot always comes out of character, so I had to be sure of my characters. Like I said, there was a conversation with Geoff and in that way that Geoff will have an idea – this real simple thing where it was like he said, "I did this thing, because of this thing." And when he said that, it all opened up for me. I picked that up and used it – and it's not a plot point, let's say. It's not something the readers will pick it up and say, "This is the idea that came from Geoff." It's not that at all. It was something he said about one of the characters, and the second he said it, I realized there was a whole story in there. It's a beautiful, very moving, emotional story. It's something that I think the readers will be able to get incredibly invested in.
And then, as for the…er, "other" character…[laughs] This is probably the most unsatisfying interview for readers ever…it's all "Rucka refuses to comment." But it's good.
NRAMA: Let's try for something that you can answer again – where will Action Comics be set?
GR: One of the things that we'll be doing with this story is that they'll get to travel throughout the DCU. I know that you're going to see them coming up pretty soon, and I suspect – and I have to double-check with James – that I'm starting with them in Metropolis. But one of the fun things is that they get to move around, and meet up with guest stars. I'm looking forward to hitting the DCU Midwest in particular. So yeah, there will be traveling, but there will be a link back to Metropolis that will be fairly consistent.
NRAMA: Going back to your earlier mention of there being large blank spaces in the overall Superman plan – does that mean you have a plot to work from, or are you wholly on your own, just knowing that you have to wind up at a certain point?
GR: It's not simply that I'm coming in and filling in the missing bricks. That said, I think the DCU works best when there's a clear goal in mind. 52 showed that. The build-up to Infinite Crisis showed that. When there's a clear vision, and you've got the creative teams working toward that goal, each on their own, it can then come together quite elegantly at the endpoint. So we know the goal, but I wouldn't have taken the job if I was only going to be taking dictation. I wouldn't have done the gig if they said, "This is the character, and this has to happen, and then this and this and this." If that's the case, you don't need me.
So like I said, there's a place we're all heading, and it's a place that Geoff and James have marked on the map very clearly, and had then basically said, "These are the ways we can get there…" When I was talking to Dan, Matt and Geoff – all three of them were very clear on that – they knew where they were going, but how they got their in Action was up to me. I appreciate that. Otherwise, it would be an exercise in frustration.
The other thing is that these types of things are always dynamic, and they have to be, because writing is a chaotic process. You're creating stuff, and you have to have liberty to look at what you've done, and be able to move and react to what has been created. By the same token, the endpoint we're heading towards, it's also a start point – something begins when we get there. How that then plays out is going to be heavily influenced by what happens in Action and all the other books. So it has to be dynamic, and will probably change as we go, but it's going to be a fun run that I think readers are really going to enjoy.

RetroShare is a powerful tool which allows you to chat, share files and otherwise communicate with a group of trusted friends.
The program is what the developers call a "secure social network". The features are very similar, so you can share your news, read what's going on with other people, post on forums, use instant messaging and voice chat, share files, folders and more. But you're only connected to trusted friends/ family/ work colleagues (or whoever else you want to invite). So you have to explicitly add someone before you can connect to them at all. And because the system is decentralised - there's no central server control everything - and RetroShare's connections are encrypted with GPG (GNU Privacy Guard), you can be sure that no-one else will get to monitor what you're saying or sharing, not even the RetroShare developers.
If you're thinking this sounds a little complex to set up, then you have a point, to a degree. You'll need to generate a GPG key to establish your identity, for instance, then exchange it with friends to authenticate the connection. This isn't actually that difficult (creating a key is just a matter of filling in a form, for instance), and you only have to do it once, but it's undeniably more complicated than using Facebook.
And we found several other situations where RetroShare made few concessions to beginners. On first launch, for instance, it detects any plugins you've installed and asks you to authorise them, much like Firefox with a new extension. This is easy to do (it takes one click), but they just use an alarming "RetroShare has detected an unregistered plugin" apparent error message which will probably leave some users thinking there's a security issue.
This isn't quite as polished as regular social networks, then - but it's not really so difficult to use, either. A toolbar gives you easy to all RetroShare's key features, listing your friends, taking you to group chat rooms, displaying shared files, forums, channels and more. A left-hand panel includes links to common functions like the instant messenger, or file sharing, and a couple of wizards do a reasonable job of helping you get started.
Plainly RetroShare still isn't going to replace your other social network accounts. If you and a group of friends would like to also have a more private place, though, somewhere unmonitored, just for you, then it could work very well indeed. Just keep in mind that there will be quite an initial learning curve as you figure out how everything works.
While not quite as straightforward as it could be, RetroShare is still an excellent tool for building your very own custom and secure social network

Kent State Designs First-of-its-Kind Graduate Program in Fashion
Kent State University's fashion school is leading the academic runway with the creation of a master of fashion degree that is the first of its kind in the nation. The university's Board of Trustees formally approved the path-breaking graduate program today (March 13), allowing the university's Shannon Rodgers and Jerry Silverman School of Fashion Design and Merchandising to begin enrolling students for fall semester 2013, pending approval by the Ohio Board of Regents.
Kent State's fashion school, which is the largest fashion program in Ohio and one of the largest in the nation, already has earned a widespread reputation for academic excellence, innovation and highly prepared graduates. The popular fashion magazine Fashionista.com ranks Kent State's fashion school third best in the nation and 13th best in the world. In addition, the Ohio Board of Regents designated the school an Ohio Center of Excellence in the state's Strategic Plan for Higher Education.
The new degree program is geared toward professional practice, responding to the fashion industry's growing use of integrated technologies and the trend toward entrepreneurship that spawns small- to medium-sized businesses that manufacture goods locally or within the United States. It is designed for students with undergraduate degrees in fashion merchandising, fashion design or related fields who want to expand their employment options in the $300-billion, global fashion industry. Graduates of the program, who will be able to customize a course of study with a high level of specialization, will be prepared to advance their careers, expand their entrepreneurial opportunities or pursue initial careers in academia.
Kent State Offers Ohio's Only Fully Online Doctoral Program in Nursing
Kent State's College of Nursing has broken new academic ground in Ohio by creating a fully online doctoral program in nursing. The college, which is the largest nursing program in Ohio, will offer the online program simultaneously with the traditional, face-to-face program pending approval by the Ohio Board of Regents.
The university's Board of Trustees heard a detailed report about the path-breaking program at its March board meeting, including the fact that there is an exploding, national demand for nurses who are prepared for advanced nursing practice and scholarship, and a related demand for online doctoral nursing education. In addition to providing convenient access to advanced education, online doctoral nursing programs address the national shortage of Ph.D.-level nursing faculty.
The availability of the online doctoral program strengthens the impact of the joint doctoral nursing program that has been offered by Kent State and the University of Akron since 1995. Graduates of the joint program conduct and disseminate critical research that informs healthcare agendas throughout Northeast Ohio as well as nationally and internationally. The online doctoral program will give students from both partners access to coursework, instruction and faculty mentorship from their chosen locations in real time.
The program will use a variety of technologies to provide online instruction, including web conferencing and share technology. To ensure that students are able to integrate what they learn with advanced research and practice, students in the online program will spend two weeks per academic year on campus.
University Ratifies Three-Year Agreement With Full-Time, Nontenure-Track Faculty
The Board of Trustees approved and ratified a new, three-year collective-bargaining agreement with the unit of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) that represents Kent State's full-time, nontenure-track faculty. A tentative agreement had been ratified previously by eligible AAUP members. The Board also ratified a memorandum of understanding that allowed all existing terms and conditions of employment to remain in effect from the time the prior agreement expired (Aug. 16, 2012) until the new agreement takes effect (Aug. 13, 2013). The new agreement, which covers approximately 450 full-time, nontenure-track faculty members at the university's eight campuses, will take effect Aug. 16, 2013, and expire Aug. 16, 2016.
Kent State Board of Trustees Recognizes University's Success in President's Annual Review
Each year, the Board conducts an annual review of the university president's performance. The evaluation was very positive, finding that Kent State President Lester A. Lefton met or exceeded every strategic goal for the review period. The trustees are pleased and enormously proud of the university's progress.
"In this era of unprecedented changes, challenges and opportunities, President Lefton continues to be the right leader at the right time," said Jane Timken, chair of the Kent State University Board of Trustees. "He shares the Board's vision that Kent State has everything it takes to stand among the best universities anywhere. For the past seven years, we have seen him demonstrate his deep commitment to this vision through the relentless pursuit of excellence—for the sake of our students, our state, and our nation."
Lefton's compensation is contractually specified. Given the Board's conclusion that he has met his performance goals for the year, he will receive the full value of his performance bonus equivalent to 25 percent of his base salary, or $104,450, to be awarded July 1, 2013. Based upon the Board's review of compensation data, his salary is competitive for universities of Kent State's size and complexity. His current base salary is $417,799.68.
Under his leadership, the university's financial position is stable, including consistent enrollment growth, a strong bond rating and responsible cost management.
Annual results of the university include:
- The university is Northeast Ohio's #1 public university – leading in enrollment, graduates and retention.
- Kent State's Fall 2012 enrollment was 42,513, the highest recorded enrollment in Kent State's history.
- The university's Centennial Campaign total raised a record-breaking $265 million, surpassing its $250 million goal.
- Significant progress has been made in enhancing the sense of place on the Kent Campus and downtown Kent, creating Ohio's rising college town and making Kent a great place to study, work, live and visit.
- With a focus on college completion, Kent State is making great strides and significant investments in student success and retention strategies.
- This spring, the university will confer 4,375 degrees, which is roughly a 13 percent increase from last year.
- The university began a multi-year initiative implementing our strategic diversity plan with a focus on inclusive excellence.
In other actions:
- The Board approved an overall 3.92-percent increase in the standard, undergraduate double-room and board rates, effective fall semester 2013. The increases will help offset rising costs for maintenance and repairs, utilities and food products. The increases will allow the university to continue operating its residence and dining programs on a self-sufficient basis while keeping room and board affordable for students and their families.
- The Board authorized changes in a variety of program, course and other student fees, most of which are effective fall semester 2013. The changes, which were reviewed by a variety of university staff members and university executive officers to ensure that they are necessary, range from the elimination of a $25 fee for Regional Campus students who take a math placement test to an increase of $4,900 for students in the Executive Master of Business Administration program.
- The Board approved a 3.9-percent tuition increase for the Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine (KSUCPM) for the 2013-14 academic year. Trustees also approved a variety of changes in student fees, ranging from the elimination or reduction of some lab fees to increases in the fee for the hepatitis vaccine. The KSUCPM operates under a different academic calendar than the rest of the university and billing for the fall semester occurs in April. The university currently receives no state support of instruction for podiatric medicine, and statutory constraints in the State of Ohio budget are tied to in-state undergraduate tuition and general fees. KSUCPM offers graduate-level programs. Therefore, there are no restrictions that prevent moving forward with this action at this time.
- The Board established a dance studies major that will prepare students for expanding career options in the field of dance. The major is effective fall semester 2013.
- The Board named the newly renovated health and sciences wing at Kent State University at Salem, and a number of facilities within the wing, in honor of the generous support of the following alumni and other friends of the university:
- The health and sciences wing was named the James and Coralie Centofanti Hall to recognize Canfield philanthropists Jim and Coralie Centofanti. The charitable foundation formed by the late couple provided a $700,000 gift to complete renovations to the wing.
- The following spaces were named to honor community leaders who provided more than $114,000 in gifts to complete renovations of nursing faculty offices, learning stations and student study areas: Dr. Frank, Salvatore, and Peter Apicella Families Radiology and Imaging Sciences Program Director Office; Ferranto, Hill, Kotsch, Martin and Zapko BSN Program Director Office; Marc N. Burgess Faculty Conference Room; Barbara and David Plummer Family Nurse Teaching Station; Louis & Kerry Ramunno Family Student Study Lounge; and the Joseph P. and Donna J. Sedzmak Radiology Faculty Office.
- The Karen Sebo Nuclear Medicine Faculty Office and the Karen Sebo Nurse Teaching Station honor a $25,000 gift from Karen Sebo, a member of the Salem Campus Advisory Board, to complete renovations of the health and sciences wing.
- The Richard and Karen Crouse Family Nursing Advising Suite recognizes Richard Crouse, a graduate of the university's applied technology program, and Karen Crouse, a registered nurse, who gave a $30,000 gift to complete renovations to the nursing faculty offices.
- The Salem Community Foundation Radiology Classroom recognizes the Foundation's gift of $80,000, which allowed the completion of the Radiology Laboratory.
- The Pearce Foundation Sonography Classroom recognizes the Foundation's $75,000 gift, which allowed the completion of the Sonography Classroom.
- The Salem Community Hospital Lecture Room in the new health and sciences wing recognizes the hospital's gift of $200,000, which allowed the completion of the health and sciences lecture hall.
- The Board authorized a $2.95-million project to renovate the Main Hall at Kent State at Ashtabula. The project, which will be funded from state capital funds and the Ashtabula Campus fund balance, will provide a needed expansion of space for offices and meeting rooms related to Student Services, as well as a new, quiet student lounge and improvements in the Student Commons and kitchen areas. The project is expected to begin this summer and to be completed by fall semester 2014.
- The Board authorized a $1.45-million project to build a 200-car parking lot north of the Liquid Crystal and Materials Science Building and east of Henderson Hall on the Kent Campus. The lot will replace parking spaces in the science corridor that will be lost when the university begins construction of a new home for the College of Applied Engineering, Sustainability and Technology along the existing science corridor. The project, which will be funded by parking facility funds, will include the construction of a new fire lane, an improved loading dock, site lighting and pedestrian paths. The lot's site has been used as a recreation field. The soccer and other activities scheduled for the field will be relocated to the new Loop Road recreation fields.
- The Board granted emeritus status to: Dr. Marya Bednerik, professor, Theatre and Dance; Dr. Rosemary DuMont, professor, Library and Information Science; Dr. James Durandetta, assistant professor, Chemistry, Kent State at Trumbull; Harbans Mathur, assistant professor, Technology, Kent State at Trumbull (posthumous); Becky Rigney, assistant professor, Kent State at Salem; Dr. Mark Seeman, professor, Anthropology; Dr. Metrechia Soper, assistant professor, Kent State at Salem; Donna Thomas, assistant professor, Nursing, Kent State at Tuscarawas; and Kelly Anthony, director II, Enrollment Management and Student Services, Kent State at Ashtabula. Emeritus status is a distinguished title that honors a faculty or staff member's contributions by allowing him or her continued access to university resources after retirement from the university.
- The Board conferred an honorary doctor of humane letters degree upon former Kent State student Jeffrey W. Richmond for his "extraordinary contributions to the arts and popular culture." Richmond is renowned as a composer, actor, director and producer who has guided some of the decade's most popular television shows. The Portage County native has earned success — including three Emmy awards and numerous other entertainment-industry accolades — as a composer for Saturday Night Live; as an actor on Late Night with Conan O'Brien; and as an actor, composer, director and producer for the critically acclaimed comedy series 30 Rock. He continues to compose television and film scores, and to perform on stage and screen.

Closing the loop
The West's fire problem helps Navajos return to their roots
CAMERON, Ariz. - In an old shed on the Navajo Nation, 60 miles north of Flagstaff, two well-muscled Navajo men pull lanky ponderosa pine logs out of a 1954 Chevy truck and prod them onto a fast-moving conveyor belt. The conveyor takes the "yellow-bellies" into the maw of a torpedo-shaped, thumping, peeling machine, popping them out minutes later as sleek, naked logs destined for use in traditional Navajo houses, or hogans.
This prototype plant is a first step toward solving a massive problem on the nearby Coconino National Forest: fire-prone, overgrown stands of ponderosa pine. At least 250,000 of the Coconino's 1.8 million acres are in need of thinning and restoration, according to the Forest Service.
One of the biggest challenges, however, has been to create a way to turn the thinned trees into marketable wood products rather than simply cutting and burning them. "Burning the wood, rather than sending it down the road to make new products, is a type of insanity," says Coconino National Forest Superintendent Jim Golden.
In providing a market for the wood, the hogan project may also create living-wage jobs and new housing on the Navajo Nation, where unemployment rates hover between 40 percent and 50 percent and housing conditions are poor. Most hogans on the 17 million-acre reservation have been put together with whatever materials could be salvaged. The other choice has been government-built housing, much of which is falling apart and costly to heat. Tribal authorities say there is a pressing need for 30,000 new homes on the reservation.
Traditional comeback
The Cameron mill is the brainchild of a nonprofit organization called Indigenous Community Enterprises (ICE), sponsored by the Northern Arizona University School of Forestry. Funding has come from the Forest Service, regional nonprofits and a number of foundations, such as the Arizona Community Foundation.
Three years ago, Mae Franklin, the tribe's liaison to the Forest Service, the late Shawn Muldoon, a timber sales officer with the Kaibab National Forest, and the late Ella Big Horse, the coordinator of one of the Navajo chapters, came up with the idea to use small-diameter wood for a variety of projects on the reservation, including corrals, fences and ramadas.
Housing rose to the top of their list because of the tribe's need and the prospect that it could pay for itself over time. The three took their idea to the Grand Canyon Forests Foundation, created by the Grand Canyon Trust and the Coconino National Forest, which was working to reduce fire danger on the Coconino (HCN, 3/1/99:Flagstaff searches for its forests' future). There they met staff director Brett KenCairn, a bearded Princeton graduate and veteran community organizer, and together they took the idea to the Northern Arizona University School of Forestry. Indigenous Community Enterprises was born.
"Two years ago, we were just a bunch of dreamers with big ideas and a few drawings of log hogans," says KenCairn, now ICE's executive director. Now, he says, "We are on our way toward creating a synthesis that restores the land and the native community at the same time."
"This is the first big effort on the Navajo Nation's part," adds Tony Skrelunas, until recently a top official in the Navajo Tribal Government and now an ICE board member. "Until now, a variety of cultural traditions discouraged organized business efforts like this. Attitudes among the elders are changing."
So far, two prototype hogans have been built, one of which now stands outside the Navajo Community Chapter House here in Cameron and is used by Mae Franklin as an office for Forest Service activities. The other stands on the grounds of the Leupp Elementary School in the southwestern corner of the reservation. Four more prototypes have been purchased by the Navajo housing authority for elders in extreme need.
KenCairn says that Indigenous Community Enterprises now gets several inquiries a day from interested purchasers, and although final production plans are still in the works, the organization hopes to be building four to five hogan kits a month by this fall. Navajo Nation President Kelsey Begay has already invited ICE to establish another manufacturing plant in the Fort Defiance area.
Over the past 11 months, ICE has hired eleven Navajos at wages ranging from $8 to $15 an hour. In addition, four Navajo contractors employing eight workers were hired. In all, the project's payroll is $90,000.
Home economics
As the program expands, it could also help make forest restoration more economically viable. KenCairn believes that with more manufacturing plants and new, more valuable uses for wood byproducts, the current cost of forest restoration could be lowered from an average of $800 per acre to $50-$100 per acre. But will that reopen logging's Pandora's box of profit motive by tying forest restoration to selling trees?
"The key issue is scale," says KenCairn, adding that larger-scale operations like paper mills, plywood plants or wood-fired power plants - which consume hundreds of millions of board feet of thinnings - may not be sustainable over their 20- to 30-year life spans. "People who invest the kind of money these plants take - 200-500 million bucks - are going to have a strong financial interest in making sure the wood fiber keeps flowing.
"We're taking a different approach," he continues. "We think smaller scale, community-based enterprises are a more responsive and practical solution." KenCairn says that ICE's small, locally owned and controlled $1 million-$4 million plants are more flexible and adaptive to available materials, and better fit the scope of a conservative restoration program.
The next challenge will be making the hogans affordable. The cost of a hogan kit ranges between $13,000 and $25,000; add in construction costs, and the price of an 800 square-foot hogan with a septic system can run between $50,000 and $75,000. Average income per capita on the reservation is $6,400.
"Some of the elders," says Franklin, "are suffering sticker shock."
Still, the hogans cost less than Housing and Urban Development houses, which run $126,000 for a one-bedroom house and $133,000 for two bedrooms. ICE and Navajo officials are working on a number of ways for Navajos to own the new hogans. The tribe will provide economic assistance for very low-income elders, and the tribal government, which builds rental homes with HUD money, will redirect such funds to hogan plants and to ICE. In the meantime, ICE has applied for a grant directly from HUD as well. ICE and the Navajo Housing Authority are also working with banks such as Wells Fargo and Bank One to make mortgage money available.
While the economic challenges are real, Mae Franklin thinks that local support for the project is already starting to show momentum. "The chapters are coming around; reality is setting in," she says. "This is going to happen."

Newswise — PHILADELPHIA - The human gut is loaded with commensal bacteria – "good" microbes that, among other functions, help the body digest food. The gastrointestinal tract contains literally trillions of such cells, and yet the immune system seemingly turns a blind eye. However, in several chronic human diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), HIV/AIDS, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, the immune system attacks these normally beneficial bacteria, resulting in chronic inflammation and contributing to disease progression.
Now, researchers may finally understand an important mechanism that keeps this friendly truce intact – a finding that may lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies for such chronic diseases.
Gregory F. Sonnenberg, PhD, research associate in the Department of Medicine, Gastroenterology Division, and the Institute for Immunology at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, with postdoctoral researcher Matthew Hepworth, PhD, report in Nature that innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) directly limit the response by inflammatory T cells to commensal bacteria in the gut of mice. Loss of this ILC function effectively puts the immune system on an extended war footing against the good, commensal bacteria – a condition observed in multiple chronic inflammatory diseases.
ILCs are a class of rare immune cells that were first described a few years ago. Previous research has implicated these cells in regulating immune responses in the intestine, mostly through their ability to secrete immune-activating cytokines. But until now, researchers have had a hard time studying ILCs because it hasn't been possible to selectively eliminate them in the context of an otherwise intact immune system.
Sonnenberg, Hepworth, and their colleagues deleted a protein called RORγt, required for one class of ILCs, in mice. RORγt-deficient animals had exacerbated T cell responses against commensal bacteria and systemic inflammation. In contrast, deletion of previously identified ILC effector cytokines such as IL-22 and IL-17 did not elicit an immune response to commensal bacteria, suggesting the ILCs use an unidentified regulatory pathway.
When the team looked at what gene signatures the RORγt-dependent ILCs expressed, they found high expression of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) protein, which some cells use to display foreign proteins to the immune system and directly interact with T cells.
This, as with RORγt-deficient mice, selective deletion of MHCII in ILCs resulted in hyperactive T-cell responses directed against commensal bacteria and systemic inflammatory responses, all of which could be alleviated by depletion of commensal bacteria with broad-spectrum antibiotics. What's more, mice with the selective deletion of MHCII in ILCs also developed inflammatory bowel disease, which was driven by aberrant CD4+ T-cell responses to commensal bacteria.
This study is the first to selectively target ILCs in the presence of an intact immune system, and these findings suggest that under normal conditions, ILCs play a critical role in dampening the anti-bacterial T-cell response using MHCII. Indeed, when Sonnenberg's team looked at ILC activity directly, they found that MHCII+ ILCs could present foreign antigen to T cells and limit their expansion and pro-inflammatory properties.
Essentially, ILCs seem to instruct T cells to trust – that is, ignore -- commensal bacteria, thereby allowing the immune system to coexist with these foreign entities. Loss or dysregulation of ILCs, in turn, brought on by genetic or environmental factors such as diet or infection, for example, eliminates that protective action. This can lead to dysregulated immune activity and chronic inflammation.
"Inappropriate immune response to commensal bacteria and subsequent pathologic inflammation is a contributing factor to the pathogenesis and progression of many chronic human diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes," says Sonnenberg.
"This study provides new insight into the pathways that regulate immune responses to commensal bacteria and maintain tissue homeostasis" adds Hepworth.
Importantly, the study also identifies that MHCII+ ILCs are found in the intestinal tissues of healthy human donors. "Although it's still early days for this line of research, these findings provoke the hypothesis that MHCII+ innate lymphoid cells may be an important pathway to therapeutically target in the treatment of some chronic inflammatory diseases," suggests Sonnenberg. The Sonnenberg lab is now trying to establish if that is the case.

When you announce the death of something as great as the USA was, what kind of reply do you want? My condolences? It was a great nation, sorry to see it go?There's just not too much one can say.
what can we do? I see the crop of politicians we send to DC they have no want to change the status quo. the Tea party wanted to do something now they are labeled racist whack jobs cause they wanted to "gasp" reduce wasteful spending. The media vilified them
Cider, i had that conversation with my BIL. he and my sister live in your neighborhood. he said that his parents generation doesn't care that GB isn't so great anymore because they get everything from food to housing pretty much given to them. his generation doesn't care because they don't know any different.the thing that surprised him most about our family and other Americans is that they are always thinking about doing something. something else, something better, something different. just as an example, until he met and married my sister, he had not thought about owning his own home. it seems a small thing, but he never pictured himself as a "land owner". that was an adventure to far for him. :-D His brother has a business and owns a home, but his great goal each year is just to make enough to take a vacation somewhere. don't know if i am explaining this to well, but i think that's what we are losing; our sense of adventure and the sense that we can do, or be, anything. in another generation it won't matter. no one will remember. that's sad. i used to read stories of British adventurers exploring the world and doing great things. soon American adventures will only be in books.
but I think in Germany more people rent than buy their own homes and I don't think you could call the Germans unproductive
Minus the dollar sign, I thought it was the worlds longest IP address...We're Screwed forever :deadhorse:
It's not only the banks, Hjon. the fed printing press running with quantitive easing also contributes to this. Money for nothing!

text: Thursday, July 21, 2011 New in the Literature: Virtual Reality and Video Games (Stroke. 2011;42:1380-1386) Virtual reality (VR) and video game applications are novel and potentially useful technologies that can be combined with conventional rehabilitation for upper arm improvement after stroke, say authors of a meta-analysis published in the April issue of Stroke. The authors searched Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane literature from 1966 to July 2010 with the terms "stroke," "virtual reality," and "upper arm/extremity," and evaluated the effect of VR on motor function improvement after stroke. Of the 35 studies identified, 12 met the inclusion/exclusion criteria, totaling 195 participants. Among the studies, 5 were randomized clinical trials and 7 were observational studies with a pre-/postintervention design. Interventions were delivered within 4 to 6 weeks in 9 of the studies and within 2 to 3 weeks in the remaining 3. Eleven of the 12 studies showed a significant benefit of VR for the selected outcomes. In the pooled analysis of all 5 randomized controlled trials, the effect of VR on motor impairment (Fugl-Meyer) was OR=4.89. No significant difference was observed for Box and Block Test or motor function. Among observational studies, there was a 14.7% improvement in motor impairment and a 20.1% improvement in motor function after VR.

LaSalle County Generating Station donated 104 new winter coats to the Youth Service Bureau of Illinois Valley, the Marseilles Police department and local families to help keep area children warm this winter.
MARSEILLES, Ill. (Jan. 12, 2009) - LaSalle County Generating Station donated 104 new winter coats to the Youth Service Bureau of Illinois Valley, the Marseilles Police department and local families to help keep area children warm this winter.
"This gift will extend well beyond the Youth Service Bureau and will touch many people in our community," said Dave McClure, executive director of the Youth Service Bureau, a community based, not-for-profit, child welfare agency established in 1976. "We are blessed to have an organization like LaSalle Station in our community to help out especially in needy times like these."
LaSalle Station's donation was made through a partnership with Operation Warm. Since 1998, Operation Warm has provided new winter coats to children in need through strategic partnerships with donors and community organizations. Operation Warm's vision is that every child wearing a new winter coat is healthy, is able to attend school regularly and has strong self-esteem.
In addition to the station's partnership with Operation Warm, LaSalle Station has an annual holiday gift drive in which the station donates gifts to those in need during the holidays. The remaining coats were donated to several families who submitted their names to the holiday gift drive.
"We know the new winter coats will make the cold winter months a bit warmer for kids in our community," said Dan Enright, LaSalle Station site vice president.
LaSalle County Generating Station is located approximately 75 miles southwest of Chicago. With both units at full power, the site produces more than 2,200 megawatts net, which is enough electricity for 2.3 million homes. In 2008, LaSalle Generating Station donated more than $69,000 to a wide range of local organizations, including charitable contributions to help LaSalle and Grundy Counties improve environmental, educational and recreational initiatives within local communities.

VMworld This week's VMworld conference in San Francisco was the coming-out party for the thinnest thin client we've ever encountered, a sub-pint-sized desktop appliance from Pano Logic of Menlo Park, California.
Actually, according to the company's EVP of engineering Parmeet Chaddha, thin client - even emaciated client - isn't the correct term for the Pano Device.
"This is a zero end point," he told The Reg, "or as we call it, a zero client."
Zero is quite descriptive of the Pano Device's complexity, although not of its capabilities. The Device is a black or silver almost-cube that's 3.5 inches square at its base, 2 inches tall, and weighs in at 1.1 pound. It has no microprocessor or graphics processor. Its role is merely to connect over LAN or WAN to VMware ESX-based virtual machines and present the user with a desktop view of that VM.
Thin's no longer in - zero's the new hero
The software suite that connects and controls the Pano Device is the aptly named Pano System. At the heart of the System is the Pano Manager, which sits between the Device and the Pano Direct Service, a lightweight Windows service that lives inside each VM.
The purposes of the Pano System are simple: control, centralization, security, and ease of use. As Chaddha told us, "If someone is looking to centralize 100 per cent of the compute cycles in the data center, then this is really the only game in town."
The zero-client definition, Chaddha said, is due to the fact that the Pano Device contains no processor, no software, no drivers, requires no patching, no configuration. "It is as dumb as a telephone," he said.
Since the Device has nothing stored in it, security is well-nigh absolute. "Somebody can walk away with it, but they couldn't do anything with it. The only way it's going to work is when there's Pano software on the back end to light it up."
The Device communicates with the System over a Pano-proprietary UDP-based protocol that Chaddha describes as being "where all the secret sauce lies" and that he claims ensures a seamless and snappy user experience when display, keyboard, and mouse are connected to the thoroughly dumb Device. "Think of this simply as a frame buffer," he said.
The Device contains one DB-15 VGA port that supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 (a DVI version is under development), one 10/100BASE-T Ethernet and three USB 2.0 ports, an internal speaker, one 16-bit audio-out mini jack (with video sync). Despite the presence of an audio-in mini jack, that capability is not yet ready.
The host software will tell you which ports you can use
When the Device is plugged into the network, the System recognizes it by its MAC address - the Device itself doesn't announce its presence to the System, but is instead discovered by it. The MAC address is then associated with a dynamic IP address, a handshake is established, and the Manager will present a logon screen to the user, who will - you guessed it - log on.
At logon, the user is then presented with a VM desktop tailored to his or her level of assets and privileges as predetermined by an administrator. As might be guessed, groups are supported as well, as are such predetermined usage templates as kiosks.
Although the Device is dumb as a post, it can remotely service USB devices such as printers, storage, and smartphones, using smarts located in the VM. And, yes, the management software can disable port usage if desired.
Sales of the Device and its back-end System software are on a per-seat basis at $329 for the silver version and $319 for the black - but should you want to outfit, say, 1,000 desktops with the little guy, the Pano people say they'll be more than happy to negotiate. ®
The Reg salutes Pano Logic for its rational product-naming system, which blessedly avoids such silliness as iBac, vRanger Pro, and esXpress.

Kids these days! With their computers and fancy software, they get up to all kinds of fun, doing things like freaking out the internet, for example. Oh to be young!
Earlier this year, it was a bit of a thing in China for teens to post altered photos of themselves with pointy chins and enormous eyes—a culmination of the ideal anime face and anime eyes.
Now, that trend seems to have reached critical mass in neighboring South Korea. (Because it wasn't at critical mass before?) According to reports, these photos were uploaded by a self-professed 13 year-old in South Korea, who apparently wrote, "I wish everyone would get plastic surgery like mine!"
These photos do look like arcade sticker pictures that have had the hell Photoshopped out of them, just as those photos emerging out of China earlier this year did, too. Online in Japan, where the images have spread through numerous blogs, many are saying the pics look like they've worked Photoshop to death—as well as saying the snaps resemble Picassos. Modern art!
Even though they appear to be altered and even though gamers see all sorts of manufactured horrors in the titles they play, that doesn't stop these photos from being this: scary as hell. Sweet dreams.

Demand for IT professionals has grown in the last quarter. Our guide to the jobs that are in demand, what they pay, and the skills you need to get them.
Last August, a joint survey between Sapphire Technologies Canada and IBM Corp. on Canadian IT hiring practices found 38 per cent of respondents planned to increase their IT hiring over the next 18 months.
The upswing was anticipated to begin in Q4 and continue into 2010, explained Sergio Mateus, president of Toronto, Ont.-based Sapphire Technologies Canada, a division of Randstad Interim Inc. "We are actually seeing that," he said.
Sapphire Canada has noticed an increase in demand for IT skills over the last quarter and a half, according to Mateus, with substantial increases in the acquisition of architects, project managers and network analysts and administrators.
Resurging marketplace
These "hot jobs" are indicative of a lot of start-up activity within IT shops, he noted. "The general theme for the year would be a resurging marketplace where lots and lots of projects are going to start taking off," said Mateus.
Architects, project managers and network analysts and administrators are traditionally hired at the beginning of a systems development lifecycle, explained Mark Stevenson, vice-president of resourcing at Sapphire Canada.
As far as experience required, hands-on is always the best, he said. Training is offered at both the university and college level, but going through a certification process offered by a vendor is often the best route, according to Stevenson.
If an employer has a choice between someone with training at a private institution versus accreditation from the actual vendor or supplier of that product, they will prefer the latter, said Stevenson. "It has an additional credibility to it," he said.
Salaries have remained relatively flat compared to where they were 18 months ago, which is fairly typical of the market given the state of the economy, said Stevenson. "Usually, you don't see any variances in salary until demand is outstripping supply of people," he said.
Mateus expects this will start to change in 2010. Customers are seeing IT as a strong catalyst for corporate growth and strategic differentiation and a resurging marketplace, he said. "As these projects are taking off, we will see the salaries once again taking off along with the demand," he said.
Hot jobs in 2010, according to Jennifer Perrier-Knox, senior research analyst at Info-Tech Research Group Ltd., include business analysts, Web 2.0 developers, and systems and application integrators.
These positions build on current trends, such as the outsourcing of commodity technical skills, a continued focus on strong business skills and an increase in merger and acquisition activity, she explained.
Soft skills
"While the tech skills are really important, the ability to understand the business in the industry is continuing to increase in importance and skills around communication, strategy, cultivating business relationship and project management are still sticking in there," she said.
Cloud computing and virtualization skill sets are also important, she noted, but tend to get buried in system administration, network administration or systems engineering roles. Titles like "server virtualization specialist" aren't popping up yet, she said. "It's a skill, but it's usually not a stand-alone role."
But virtualization is huge, Perrier-Knox pointed out. She suggests going through traditional systems and networking certification processes, such as those offered by providers like Microsoft Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc., to add this skill set to your repertoire.
The mystery position for 2010 is the help desk analyst, according to Perrier-Knox. While she hopes to see an uptake in these roles, she isn't sure whether 2010 will bring one. "It's historically undervalued," she said.
Clients say they are going to focus on help desk optimization, recognize the value of the help desk in terms of acting as the face of IT to the rest of the organization and see the need to make an investment in the space, but "whether they do or not is still a little bit of a question," she said.
Igor Abramovitch, director of technology services for Robert Half Technology, owned by Robert Half International Inc., sees opportunities rising in networking and infrastructure as well as application development and business analysis.
The hottest jobs will include networking administrators, systems analysts, systems administrators, help desk analysts, business intelligence analysts, data analysts/report writers and Web developers, according to Abramovitch.
Abramovitch advises IT professionals to pick up new skills on the job. If your company is implementing a new project, make sure you are somehow involved in order to pick up the related skills, he said. "It would be more beneficial than going out and taking a course without actually having the experience implanting it," he said.
IT pros can also gain new skill sets through contractors brought into their companies, he pointed out. "As companies go through implementations, they tend to bring in subject matter experts for short periods of time ... as the implementation happens, the actual internal staff of the company would be trained on the products," he said.
Demand for networking and infrastructure positions stems from the economic downturn, during which companies turn back to their infrastructure and look for ways to remain competitive in the market, analyze their operational procedures and see if anything needs to be upgraded, he explained.
"All the underlying technologies and infrastructure has to be set up and that's where the demand will stem from -- guys like network administrators and systems analysts who know the tools and can set them up," said Abramovitch.

When I moved to Austin seven years ago, one of the things I couldn't get over was seeing Pinetop Perkins around town.
Joe Willie 'Pinetop' Perkins, one of the original Delta bluesmen. Muddy Waters' piano player. A guy who had recorded for Sam Phillips in Memphis. Grammy winner.
There he was sitting alone at a table at the Broken Spoke,an assortment of his CDs spread out in front of him for sale. I was surprised to see him at the Spoke that first time. But it turns out Pinetop was a country music fan.
Each time I saw him there, I grew a little bolder. At first I would stop by the table just to take a picture and shake his hand. Soon I was lingering longer and longer until I eventually got the nerve to pull up a chair one night. He didn't seem to mind at all. From then on I would sit with him whenever I saw him at the Spoke, allowing myself just one question per visit so as not to be a pest.
Pinetop knew the blues all too well, in his private life as well as his music. A time or two he talked about himself without my asking anything. One particular night he seemed melancholy, and out of the blue told of being stabbed by a woman (a pivotal event in his career that would transform him from a guitar player into a keyboardist), and of a traumatic episode of violence in his family. I still wonder why he told me, a virtual stranger.
Another evening at the Spoke, a big blond woman in a shortskirt walked by the table and bent down to pick up something she had dropped.The view left little to the imagination. Suppressing a giggle I turned to Pinetop to see if he noticed. I was met by wide grin.
"If you got it, flaunt it," the then 92-year-old said, shaking his head.
When Chuck Berry played the Paramount in Austin a few years ago, Pinetop was backstage visiting his old friend.
I was there, too, but I was out front in the audience, the proud recipient of a 'King Bee Social Club' guitar pick passed to me by Chuck's son right after the concert ended. When the crowd cleared I walked onto the stage and looked out the back load-in door just in time to see Chuck drive down the back alley in a big sedan.
A few minutes later Pinetop appeared from the dressing room area and made a beeline for the piano on the far side of the stage. He sat down, spread his long fingers over the keys and began pounding out gospel songs. I stood by his side listening to the impromptu concert and clutching my guitar pick, all the while thinking I must be the luckiest girl in the world.

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- When Saratoga goes back in time to celebrate the birth of thoroughbred racing 150 years ago, 150 events will jam the calendar from May through September 2013. And Saratogians and visitors will be partying for a myriad of worthy causes. The Saratoga 150 events calendar is filling quickly with nonprofit events that range from old-fashioned cakewalks and a Battle of the Brews to a porch-decorating contest and special concerts. Events will run the gamut, from family and children's programs to those geared toward young adults to events for older folks who may remember the Centennial Celebration held in Saratoga in 1963. A majority of the programs are being presented by nonprofits, including charitable causes, fraternal and service organizations and social, civic and business associations. Events must be open to the public and organizations must be Saratoga County-based. Fundraising events charging an admission fee are included, as well as events that are free to the public. Nonprofits that are not yet committed to hosting a Saratoga 150 event can sign up to host a partner event by downloading and completing the form atwww.Saratoga150.com/events
. Once they have become a partner (at no charge), the organization will be able to use the Saratoga 150 logo and will receive publicity opportunities, including the calendar listing and a link to the event on the Saratoga 150 website, mentions in Saratoga 150 event news releases, listings in promotional pieces and in social media programs, as well as a full listing in the Saratoga 150 official program and guide. "We are pleased to be able to offer nonprofit organizations such a practical benefit through Saratoga 150," Saratoga 150 Chairman Charles Wait said. "Not only will they be part of an important historical event, but the added publicity opportunities that will be provided to the organizations is a valuable public awareness enhancement." Saratoga 150 arts and music salutes by nonprofits will include programs from Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Opera Saratoga, SaratogaArts Festival, National Museum of Dance, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the New York City Ballet, the Saratoga Jazz Festival, the Ulysses S. Grant Cottage, Racing City Chorus, Brookside Museum, Chamber Music Festival, Saratoga Springs Visitor Center, Backstretch Employees Services Team, Saratoga County Historical Society, New York Racing Association, local festivals and Albany Symphony. Special exhibits and programs are planned by several Spa museums, such as the National Museum of Racing, the History Museum, Skidmore College's Tang Museum and Brookside Museum.

Calgary Underground Film Festival to offer year-round programming at the Globe Cinema
Call them Calgary's weird little cinematic orphans.
The selections for the Calgary Underground Film Festival's Off the CUFF year-round programming are generally cult films that for one reason or another didn't fit into CUFF's main festival, which runs from April 22 to 29 this year, or its CUFF. Docs festival, which ran from Nov. 28 to Dec. 2.
"There are always films that we get pretty excited about programming or that we see at other festivals or heard about and they just don't fit timing-wise," says CUFF director and co-founder Brenda Lieberman. "Yeah, I wish we could even go back in time and do more that we missed out on."
So Off the CUFF will offer similar types of underground cinema throughout the year. For now, festival programmers are hoping to book two films a month.
For January, that means fans of offbeat cinema can catch the 2018 horror-thriller Lords of Chaos at the Globe Cinema on Jan. 11. The film, which stars Rory Culkin, tells the true-life tale of blood and mayhem surrounding the black metal scene in Oslo, Norway. CUFF programmers caught the film at Sundance this year.
The Jan. 21 screening of Destroyer is already sold out. That film stars a nearly unrecognizable Nicole Kidman as a LAPD detective haunted by undercover work she did years earlier.
Next month, Off the Cuff will feature Border on Feb. 5, a dark fantasy film from Sweden about a customs officer with strange powers who helps a police investigation. On Feb. 13, CUFF will offer a retrospective screening of a restored Mary Jane's Not A Virgin Anymore preceded by the short I Was a Teenage Serial Killer. Both films were directed by the late Sarah Jacobson, a pioneer of female-centric guerrilla filmmaking who passed away in 2004 of cancer.
More titles will be released as they are programmed, Lieberman says.
Programmers for CUFF check out films from various festivals throughout the year, including the upcoming Sundance and Slamdance festivals in Utah, Fantastic Fest in Austin and Fantasia in Montreal, which deal with indie or genre films.
"It could be anything from an American quirky comedy to something like Border, which is a boundary-pushing, international subtle genre film," Lieberman says. "We're pretty much all over the place, but I would say we look for things that are a little bit quirky or provocative and challenge the viewer in some ways."

From NBC's hit game show DEAL OR NO DEAL to the pages of MAXIM, fashion designer Sonia Vera unveils three sexy, sophisticated and innovative lines at this year's Downtown LA Fashion Week. For her three lines Club Canela, Black Label and New Beach Couture, Sonia was inspired through her travels around the world to create sophisticated and sexy swimwear for the everyday woman. Each design from each designated line delivers a unique style that can not only be worn to the beach, but also dressed down as leisure wear on a warm and sunny day or dressed up when you're going for a night on the town.
Club Canela is textured and jewel toned. These bathing suits are mostly for show and they create a statement with their elegance and understated look. With the addition of a wrapped sarong and some eye-popping jewelry, the bathing suit immediately transforms into an outfit that can be worn on a night on the town. The possibilities of mixing and matching with this particular line are endless.
Black Label consists of mostly two piece textured bikinis. This line can be easily worn to the beach for sunbathing, swimming or any activity for the avid beach aficionado. Sonia also adds little touches to make the bikini elegant much like her Club Canela line. They are comfortable in their design and covers in the right places without taking away its sex appeal. If one wants to be noticed or show off their rock hard beach body, then this bikini is the way to go.
New Beach Couture is understated leisure wear that is dressed down for the average woman on the go. Whether it is running errands, spending a lazy day lounging around the house or having lunch with a friend on a sunny day in an exotic beach locale, this line speaks to the woman who yearns for comfort, but wants to look beautiful at the same time. This line works on many levels and with the addition of simple accessories such as a necklace here or a bracelet there or a purse across the shoulder.
Her line at Downtown LA Fashion Week wowed the crowd as her models graced the runway to upbeat sounds of electronica and hip-hop. With the addition of wide-eyed retro shades, the line is almost a throwback to another era, but it works as timeless is making a comeback. Overall, the energy of the show was at a high level and, much like Sonia's line, she made a splash on the runway and let's hope at the beach it will do the same.
Sonia's designs can be found at Laguna Beachwear in Laguna Beach, Cinema and Rebel in Florida and Breeze in Brooklyn, NY just to name a few.
For more information about the designs of fashion entrepreneur Sonia Vera, please visit her website at (http://www.soniaveraswimwear.com). For more information about BOXeight and LA Fashion Week, visit the website at http://www.boxeight.com.

Healthcare CEO receives leadership award from IBS
Stanley M. Bergman honored for value-based business leadership with an international focus
Stanley M. Bergman's company sells products and services that are 95 percent identical to those of its peers. How, then, does he account for the fact that his enterprise is three and a half times bigger than its closest competitor?
"Enlightened self-interest," he told a roomful of students, faculty and other guests at Brandeis' Faculty Club on Tuesday. "We deeply believe that being successful means doing well as an organization, but doing good for society at the same time."
Bergman is chairman and CEO of Henry Schein, Inc., a Fortune 500 company and the world's largest distributor of health products and services to office-based doctors, dentists and veterinarians. This week he visited campus to receive Brandeis International Business School's 2013 Perlmutter Award for Excellence in Global Business Leadership.
Presented annually by Brandeis IBS' Perlmutter Institute for Global Business Leadership, the award honors individuals who practice values-based business leadership that has an international focus.
Since taking the helm in 1989, Bergman has helped grow Henry Schein into a company with more than 15,000 employees and annual sales of $8.9 billion. He is also an active supporter of organizations fostering the arts, higher education, grassroots healthcare and sustainable development in the United States, Africa and other regions.
In his lively lunch keynote, Bergman spoke about his organization's efforts to create a culture of engagement among "Team Schein" members, and the importance of catering to a "mosaic of constituents" that includes investors, customers, suppliers, employees and society at large.
"We're not running the company for our shareholders alone," he said. "We are serving 1.2 million practitioners and interested parties all around the world."
Among those in attendance at the awards ceremony were Perlmutter Institute founders Louis '56 and Barbara Perlmutter, Brandeis President Frederick Lawrence and Brandeis IBS Dean Bruce Magid.
In discussing the awardee's qualifications, Lawrence addressed Bergman and compared him to the university's namesake, Justice Louis Brandeis – a man who, Lawrence said, understood that theory and practice do not pull in opposite directions but actually reinforce each other. "If you were to have asked Louis Brandeis how he balanced his extensive pro-bono practice with his highly successful for-profit law practice, he would likely have responded 'I don't understand your question.''
"You are a business leader who understands that theory and practice do not pull in opposite directions and that one can do good just as one does well," Lawrence said of Bergman. "You are most welcome on this campus and most appropriate for this honor."
In addition to attending the luncheon, the executive also spoke in Professor Daniel Bergstresser's class, chatted with several Brandeis IBS students and participated in a working session with faculty about business ethics. Throughout the day, Bergman singled out the university for promoting values of social responsibility in its curriculum.
"Brandeis' enduring and deep commitment to social justice makes this honor all the more special," he said.

I had heard about Rinpoche's meeting with Thomas Merton and I was interested. I asked Rinpoche something like, did you get a sense that Thomas Merton's understanding of god, and your understanding of suchness/luminosity were similar or different?
He replied, they were the same.

Dockworker strike could affect Jacksonville's port
Florida Gov. Rick Scott asks president to help avert strike
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Thousands of longshoremen in Florida -- about 1,200 who work at Jacksonville's ports -- could walk off the job in five days when their contract expires.
The International Longshoremen's Association, which represents the dock workers, and the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which is made up of shippers and port operators, have negotiated since March without reaching agreement.
The union is battling management over wages, health care, and shipping container royalties.
The ILA sent a memo to its local chapters last week urging them to prepare for a strike. The situation is so dire, Gov. Rick Scott sent a letter to President Barack Obama last week pleading for him to use his executive powers to order the dock workers to stay on the job.
Scott said a strike could be devastating to Florida and the rest of the country. He used the example of a strike of West Coast ports in 2002 that cost the economy an estimated $10 billion.
Garrick Austin, who has been a member of the ILA chapter in Talleyrand since April, said the work is good and it pays well.
"They're going to have to eventually (work things out)," Austin said Monday. "Somebody has got to cover the work."
Worker Isaiah Williams IV feels the union is doing the right thing, and he's prepared to walk away from his job if it means financial gains down the road.
If monetary means comes to a halt, to bring on greater monetary means, then we're willing to take on that sacrifice," said Williams, an ILD member for nine years. "I mean it's not just about our livelihood, it's about our kids' livelihoods. Future generations."
The Jacksonville Port Authority is strictly an interested observer in the negotiations.
"Our role in a strike situation would be to monitor the situation closely and keep our unaffected businesses running safely and efficiently," JaxPort spokeswoman Nancy Rubin said in a statement released Monday.
The deadline for an agreement is Saturday night.

About five years ago I conducted some research to determine if I could find ETFs to replace the mutual funds I was using. For example, I used every major subcategory and filtered the available ETFs through my Fiduciary Scorecard system. Then I took the best ETFs and compared them to my mutual funds. Because I used a strict quantitative process, the amount of bias was minimal. My conclusion? I found better choices for stocks and bonds with mutual funds, but ETFs were dominant in the alternative space. However, that was then, and this is now.
After a few years my paradigm has shifted. In short, I find many excellent choices among stock ETFs. There are a few reasons I prefer ETFs over mutual funds and in this post, I'd like to explain how I am using ETFs in portfolios with great success.
After 25 years in the business, I felt as though I had run the gamut. I had tried many different strategies and studied many more. Although academia can teach us a great deal about investing, until you test the theories in a real-world situation, it's still just a theory.
One important lesson I've learned is that too much diversification is not necessarily a good thing. In fact, it's only good in a bear market. A highly diversified portfolio will produce little fruit in a bull market. We'll get more into that another time. Back to the ETFs.
Why I Like ETFs: Flexibility and TSOs
Most advisors who use ETFs do so for a host of reasons. One common reason I hear is that ETFs have lower fees than mutual funds. Whether this is true or not, it's wasn't part of my decision. There were two main reasons why I prefer ETFs. First, I like the intraday pricing. For instance, if you wake up one morning and find that futures are significantly negative, and the Asian markets are selling off in dramatic fashion, if you own stock mutual funds, you cannot liquidate until the end of the day. With an ETF, you can sell or buy at any time.
This proved beneficial back on Oct. 10 of this year. If you like to buy on the dips, as I do, the Dow bottomed on Oct. 8, had a very small gain the next day, and on the morning of the tenth, the futures were strong. I bought an ETF at the open, and was able capture two-thirds of the day's total gain. Therefore, flexibility is a primary driver.
Another key reason was the ability to add trailing stop orders (TSO). Briefly, placing a TSO under an ETF will provide protection in the event of a major stock collapse. You can't do that with a mutual fund.
I'll have to leave it there for now, but will elaborate in a future post.
Thanks for reading and have a great week!

vB4 - دانلود هک تگ / برچسب زننده اتوماتیک به پست Automatic Thread Tagger for vB4.0
آخرین زمان حضور: Sep 2019
نگارش: 4.0.x امتیاز: نصب شده: 3 بار
زمان انتشار: 2010/03/27 بروزرسانی: هرگز دریافت شده: 1476 بار
پشتیبانی نمی شود تغییرات دیتابیس سیستم هک و پلاگین فایل های اضافی
Automatic Thread Taggerورژن جدید autotaggerfromcontentandtitle440[Versione Jadid].zip اضافه شد .
When a user submits a new thread this modification will automatically take keywords from the thread title and use these as tags. You can use Automatic Thread Tagger to propose the user AJAX tags for his new thread, or it assigns new tags after saving the new thread. It can add the translated thread prefix to the tags.
Additionally, you can tag existing threads via maintenance and also scheduled tasks.
This modification is a successor to the terminated Automatic Thread Tagger by MrEy
As an example, if a user submits a thread with a title of:
"Fish Food for Cats!"
The thread will be automatically tagged with:
- Fish
- Food
- Cats
If the user also submits an actual tag of "Fish" this will not be duplicated. Any rules you have setup for tagging will be respected.
If you choose to do so this product will also automatically tag threads created by incoming RSS feeds.
Automatic Tagging of existing threads
You can tag existing threads via maintenance or scheduled task/cron. They will be created with a special flag so they can be easily identified and deleted. Manual assigned tags are not touched. Maintenance is also working if Automatic Tagging is disabled via settings. Great if you want to test some settings. Automatic Tagging will take the date of the thread creation and also the userid of the creator. This process can be automated by running a scheduled job once a night.
Please keep in mind that tags that were proposed via AJAX are not tagged as auto tagged and therefore cannot be identified as such (and therefore not deleted automatically). If you want to retain the auto tagged flag you should disable AJAX and enable the tagging after the thread has been saved. As an alternative way you can also disable this and let new threads be tagged in the night from the scheduled job.
Installation / Upgrade
1. Upload all files from "upload" to your server, take care of the directory structure
2. Import "product-auto_thread_tagger110.xml" as a product, overwrite if it's already installed
3. Check settings
4. Run maintenance / Auto Tag Threads to tag existing threads (needed if you want to use the cron)
After install, and by default the modification is disabled, this will allow you to play around with configuration before switching it on.
If you report a bug please post the thread title that created it, without this I cannot test it and improve the language parsers.
* If no threads are tagged you will have to check the following:
- Is the modification enabled? Is the action you are testing enabled? (vBulletin tagging, whole auto thread tagger system, AJAX, new threads)
- Are the words you are using badwords or filtered out?
* Cron/Scheduled Task is not tagging all threads.
- The cron is limited to 500 (you can change this via settings) threads per run to avoid heavy impact on server. Make sure you run maintenance auto tagger before this to tag old threads. You can check the scheduled tasks log to see if it is running correctly.
Important: If a thread title does not meet minimum requirements to be included in tags (f.e. one word thread titles, too short words), it will be forever in this queue.
* I'm using polish, arabic, turkish, etc.. language and the tagger is not working like it should.
- If not already replaced, replace the filter replacement '&'=>'and' with ' & '=>'and' (a space before and after &)
آموزش نصب :
1. پوشه upload را روی هاست بریزید .
2. product-auto_thread_tagger110.xml رو ایمپورت کنید .
3. تنظیمات رو چک کنید .
4. به تعمیر شمارنده بروید و Auto Tag Threads to tag existing threads رو اجرا کنید .
