Geneviève Almouzni to receive the 2013 FEBS | EMBO Women in Science Award
Heidelberg, 5 February 2013 – EMBO and the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) announce Geneviève Almouzni, deputy director of the Institut Curie in Paris, France, as the winner of the 2013 FEBS | EMBO Women in Science Award.
Professor Almouzni has been recognized for her outstanding contributions to research in the area of histones and chromatin, her engagement in promoting epigenetics in Europe, and her active role in mentoring female scientists.
The FEBS | EMBO Women in Science Award rewards the exceptional achievements of a female researcher in molecular biology over the previous five years. Winners of the award are role models who inspire future generations of women in science.
Almouzni has investigated the basic mechanisms involved in chromatin assembly from the nucleosome to higher order structures such as those found in heterochromatin domains. The dynamics of this organization in the context of cell cycle, development as well as genotoxic stresses have been central to her research. "Her work has greatly extended our understanding of chromatin assembly and DNA repair," said Sir John Gurdon, winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, who worked with the award winner on examining aspects of nuclear reprogramming involving histone variants.
"It is a great honor for all scientists who work in the field of chromatin and epigenetics, particularly for all women in science," said the award winner upon hearing of her distinction.
The French scientist has been an inspiring mentor and motivator for other women in science throughout her career at the Institut Curie. She is also highly engaged with the European scientific community as the coordinator and member of international projects such as the FP6 Epigenome Network of Excellence and the FP7 European Network of Excellence EpiGeneSys. Her publishing record encompasses more than 160 papers and she sits on numerous committees and editorial boards including the advisory editorial board of The EMBO Journal. "Her capacity to succeed at all levels and still have the time and energy for others is admirable," stated her colleague Edith Heard, Research Unit director at the Institut Curie.
The 2013 FEBS | EMBO Women in Science Award of 10,000 euros will be presented to Geneviève Almouzni on 9 July at the FEBS Congress in St. Petersburg, Russia, where she will give a special lecture. Nominations for the 2014 FEBS | EMBO Women in Science Award close on 15 October 2013. For more information, please visit: http://www.embo.org/funding-awards/women-in-science-award or http://www.febs.org/our-activities/awards/febs-embo-women-in-science-award/.
Geneviève Almouzni studied biology at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. She completed her PhD at the University of Paris 6 and started her professional career in the laboratory of Marcel Méchali, where she managed to identify critical molecular mechanisms regulating DNA replication and chromatin assembly. After completing a CNRS research assistant position in 1991, she moved to the lab of Alan Wolffe, a scientist who turned the chromatin field into a mainstream research subject. In 1994, Geneviève Almouzni was awarded a junior investigator grant of the CNRS and started as a junior group leader at the Institut Curie.
She has held appointments as head of research unit and deputy director of the Institut Curie. The French scientist received the silver medal of the CNRS and became a member of the scientific advisory board of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and Panel Member of the European Research Council (ERC).
Recently, she received an ERC Advanced Investigator grant and obtained a Laboratory of Excellence grant from the French Ministry of Research. She has served as elected member of the EMBO Council since 2011.
The award
The FEBS | EMBO Women in Science Award consists of a bursary of €10,000, and a sculpture designed by Marloes Erden. More details on the artist (pdf).

Fearing the Securities and Exchange Commission is headed toward proposing a watered-down fiduciary rule, a broad coalition of organizations urged SEC Chairwoman May Jo White in a Tuesday letter to "establish a uniform fiduciary standard for broker-dealers and investment advisors that is at least as strong as the existing standard."
The groups—which included the Investment Adviser Association, the Financial Planning Coalition, Fund Democracy, Consumer Federation of America, AARP, NASAA and AICPA—told White that the SEC's March request for information (RFI) signals to them that the SEC "may be backing away from requiring a fiduciary standard for broker-dealers that is 'no less stringent'" than the one under which RIAs currently operate.
"The assumptions contained in the RFI fail to include key elements of the fiduciary standard such as the obligation to act in the best interest of the customer," the groups told White. "If the fiduciary duty is based on the RFI assumptions, it would be weaker than that originally set forth in the Section 913 Study and far less stringent than that currently imposed under the Advisers Act."
If the SEC were to adopt this approach, the groups said they "fear that it would significantly weaken the fiduciary standard for SEC-registered investment advisers, while adding few new protections for investors who rely on broker-dealers for investment advice. This approach would have negative consequences for investors and is one we would vigorously oppose."
Barbara Roper (right), director of Investor Protection for CFA, stated that "broker-dealers call their sales representatives financial advisers, they market themselves based on the advice they offer, and they encourage investors to rely on them as trusted advisers. It is hardly surprising then that most investors make no distinction between brokers and advisers and that disclosure is ineffective in eliminating that investor confusion."
This confusion, Roper continued, is "presumably a key reason Congress, in drafting Section 913 of the Dodd-Frank Act, specified that any new standard for brokers must be the same as the standard for advisers and no weaker than the existing standard under the Advisers Act." Rope added that while the groups "remain optimistic that the SEC can craft a regulatory approach that provides much needed strengthened protections for investors—a standard that CFA can support—doing so will require the agency to radically rethink the assumptions in the recently issued request for information and to adopt a far more investor protective approach."
David Tittsworth, executive director of IAA, added that the commission's RFI "does not appear to incorporate the most crucial aspect of fiduciary duty—that the overarching duty to act in the client's best interest is an ever-present overlay to all of the other duties, rules, and assumptions discussed in the RFI." Indeed, he continued, "the RFI seems to contemplate simply adding disclosure requirements to existing broker-dealer rules and labeling the result a fiduciary standard. We would oppose such an approach as watering down the Advisers Act fiduciary standard."
FPA President Michael Branham noted that "requiring a fiduciary standard of broker-dealers doesn't mean they need to stop earning commissions or providing services to middle-class clients." Rather, he said, "it means that they need to put their clients' interests first by, among other things, fully disclosing and appropriately managing conflicts of interest. Financial planners, who have voluntarily embraced the fiduciary standard, have demonstrated that it can be applied successfully across business models for the benefit of both clients and advisors."

I'm having multiple charging errors since San Onofre went down - anyone else experience this for their Roadster. I'm having my electician check-out my 240V Home Charger > may need an added controller to prevent voltage fluctuations. My Tesla service advisor is warning about using the 240V cable and damaging it. Also will get a Roadster-J1772 adapter for charging at my work until this gets resolved. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
I'm in San Diego, and have had no problems. I have an original MC-240.
Maybe the Smart Grid has selected you for special attention?
The heat wave has abated for now - was able to charge my car last night! Can't wait for my Model S > supposed to be an adapter for the Roadster I can use that is more stable to voltage fluctuations.

Jon Rose brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 61 Designs von 24 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We want a general logo for the parent company, simple enough to read well on a back-of-neck shirt label. Then we want to add the website address for each of our websites as subtext. For right now the url to incorporate is http://www.mychoirrobes.com.
JR Associates, LLC / MyChoirRobes.com
We want to add the parent company name/logo to our websites (which will not be each site's primary brand) so that customers will recognize our name when their charges show up on their credit card statements. Each of our websites has it's own branding and style (check out http://www.mymusicfolders.com and http://www.journeymanline.com) and we just want a font and graphic that will go with most things. We also want to add it to our products (like at the back-of-neck label on the choir robes), so we prefer a color palette that works with all colors.
JR Associates, LLC has sold various items for the last nine years, ranging from customized sheet music folders (http://www.mymusicfolders.com), to commissioned portraits of people's pets, to top-of-the-line customizable tool belts (http://www.journeymanline.com) and original art cast bronzes. We plan two new websites in the field of music, one for choir robes and one for music stand lights.
- 1) "JR Associates, LLC" larger
2) "MyChoirRobes.com" smaller, sub text
3) basic colors, not designer palette, that will go with more color ways of robes
4) Vector art, of course
- We don't want the graphic to be music specific because, even though we will use this on the Choir Robes website, we'd like to have the logo standardized when we add it also to our other websites that don't necessarily have to do with music.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are my boyfriends favourite. I'd be willing to make them for him, but I can't seem to find a really good recipe. Does anyone have one that they would like to share? I'm open to soft or crunchy.

I adore this recipe:
I used very good (i.e. better than most supermarket brands, but not one of the most expensive/"superior" options), intense chocolate, chopped up since I didn't have chips around. I probably used more than recommended.
Shared them with friends whose kids loved them as much as they did.

This isn't really connected, But I have adifferent version of Beebop's peas and honney quotation:
I eat my peas with honney,
I have done all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny
But it sticks them to my knife!
Slightly different, and it scans quite nicely

Here's on from the Silver Palate "Good Times" cookbook. We made this so often when my son was growing up, that the book just kind of flops open to the recipe when you take it out!
In our house, when you look up "cookie" in the dictionary, these are in the picture!
They can also be baked as blondies in a 9"X13" baking pan - which has been done here when I didn't have time to fuss with cookies.
I think they need to bake about 40-45 minutes in that case (I can't remember exactly, just check with a toothpick).
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 sticks unsalted butter (1 Cup), room temperature
1 Cup packed dark brown sugar
1 Cup granualted sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 Tbsp. milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Cups sifted unbleached all-purpose flour (I never sifted)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 Cups quick cooking oats
12 ounces (or more
) semisweet chocolate chips
(Optional - 1 C. coarsely chopped walnuts)
Cream butter and both sugars in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add egs, milk and vanilla and beat until blended.
Sift (or mix) flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together and add to butter mixture. Stir until just blended. Stir in oats. (It will be quite stiff at this point.) Fold in chocolate chips (and nuts if you wish).
Cover dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (trust me on this one - it's important)
Pre-heat oven to 350ºF. Grease cookie sheets or cover with parchment.
Shape the dough using a rounded teaspoon for small cookies or a scant tablespoon for large. Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until edges are slightly browned - 9-12 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool on sheets for 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Try them and see what your BF thinks! Enjoy!

I make these quite often - kidding myself that because they have oats in them they are healthy. They never last long. The recipe comes from Bill granger's book "Bill's Food".
Chocolate Oatmeal Biscuits
150g unsalted butter, softened
230g soft brown sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
125g plain (all purpose) flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
235g rolled oats
175g chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 180C.
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy and smooth.
Add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt into bowl and mix lightly.
Add oats and chocolate chips and stir to combine.
Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls and place on baking trays. Flatten with a fork dipped in flour.
Bake 15-20 minutes, or until pale golden.
Remove from oven and cool on trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
I usually reduce the sugar to about 180g. I always use good quality chocolate - 65% or 70%, which means that I have to cut it into small chunks, so the biscuits are slightly more rustic, but taste so much better. Sometimes I substitute 20-25g of the flour with good quality cocoa for an extra chocolate dimension.

How to shop like a stylist with Renee Enright
Ever wished you could be dressed by a fashion stylist, or wondered what it would be like to go shopping with one? Many Westfield centres have a team of fashion stylists waiting to take you shopping, but because it's not always possible to visit one, we're bringing the stylist to you!
Renee Enright is a personal and editorial stylist, radio presenter, host and mum of two, based in Geelong. She's also a regular on the street style circuit because she knows a thing or two about putting together a great outfit! As her role as Westfield Geelong's resident stylist, Renee helps everyday women look and feel a million bucks.
It seemed only fair that we asked her a few of our burning questions about fashion, style and where on earth she buys all of her fabulous clothes from.
Westfield: Tell us about your role as a Westfield stylist. You must meet so many people from all walks of life!
Renee Enright: Working for a company and brand such as Westfield has been a dream come true! Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working with so many amazing men and women... Some woman have had children and feel they've lost their way; some need a helping hand building a functional wardrobe. I love working with each client to find their personal style so they can be the best version of themselves. That's what a styling session is all about!
W: What are the most common issues you hear from women during a session?
RE: Hands down, the number one issue women have is confidence. We are our own worst critics and are so hard on ourselves. I always say, in my role, I play half a counsellor and half a stylist! In a session, we'll celebrate the things the client does like, instead of focussing on the things she doesn't like. Learning how to distract from – and not diguise! – our body insecurities is key.
W: Okay, help! We want to overhaul our wardrobe.
RE: It's important to go through your wardrobe first. What do you have, what do you no longer wear, and what do you need to create functional working wardrobe? Be honest with yourself and ask the tough questions. My rule of thumb is if you haven't worn that item in over 12 months, then you're probably not going to ever again.
W: What is the best way to figure out what we need to buy?
RE: Start with the fundamentals: do you have a pair of great-fitting jeans? Do you have a classic stripe tee and crisp white shirt? Do you have a go-to jacket? Can your pieces be worn together? This will determine if you have a functional wardrobe that allows you to create many outfits, with minimal clothes. My best tip is to make a Pinterest board of some outfits you would love to replicate and write down the key pieces from these looks that are missing from your wardrobe. If all else fails, you can hire a professional like me!
W: Once we've reached the shops, what are your top tips for shopping like a stylist?
RE: Having a list of the things you need will help you stick to a plan and not be swayed by impulse purchases. Impulse shopping is the number one reason we end up with a wardrobe full of clothes and nothing to wear! I also say that if you find something you absolutely LOVE, buy it in another colour... or buy two! This is smart shopping –knowing when something works for you.
W: What pieces should all women have in their wardrobe?
RE: For me, it's a great pair of jeans, a structured blazer, a few good quality basics and a pair of ankle boots. Start here, and you'll be well on your way to building that functional wardrobe!
W: What's better: sale or investment pieces?
RE: BOTH! The key is to spend that little bit more on quality key pieces that don't date, and less on trend items and bargain 'wardrobe fillers'. It's all about balance. Knowing how to mix the bargain sale pieces with the quality investments to me is real style, and the way I like to dress when it comes to my own wardrobe too.
W: What are some of your favourite stores to shop at?
RE: I shop everywhere! Some of my favourites are Country Road, Just Jeans, Topshop, Seed Heritage, Zara and sass & bide. I also love Victoria + Woods at David Jones and P.E. Nation at General Pants Co.
W: What are some of your favourite current and upcoming trends?
RE: I am loving that pink is having such a major moment... obsessed! I also love head-to-toe floral looks from the runways. I know – florals for spring, groundbreaking! – but the florals, textures and colours we'll be seeing are intensified and a fresh take on the classic spring trend.
W: What's the big secret to achieving fab personal style?
RE: Personal style is so unique. It's self-expression. Fabulous personal style is more about confidence. Clothes can have SUCH a huge impact on the way we feel; when we love what we wear, it shows. And that to me is how you achieve fab personal style. Find what flatters you and work with that. Wear things that make you feel good and people will notice.
W: What are your top tips for working out your body shape and finding the most suitable pieces?
RE: I always tell people not to be defined by what they think their "shape" is. I focus on finding pieces that are flattering, highlight their best assets and make them feel confident.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today announced that Ford Motor Company (Ford) is revising the fuel economy (mpg) estimates for six vehicle models to correct errors found in an internal Ford audit. Ford is required to correct fuel economy labels on affected vehicles within 15 days.
EPA oversaw Ford's re-testing program and conducted independent tests to confirm the corrected results as soon as it was notified by Ford of the potential errors. Ford has agreed to implement enhanced validation tests for future vehicles under EPA oversight.
"This issue highlights the need for continued strong oversight of the fuel economy labeling program," said Chris Grundler, director of EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality. "Consumers need to trust that fuel economy window stickers are giving consumers reliable and fair estimates of real world fuel economy."
Cars currently in dealer lots will be re-labeled with new window stickers reflecting the corrected mileage estimates. Ford will re-label four versions of the Ford Fiesta, the Hybrid and Energi versions of the Ford Fusion, the C-Max Hybrid and Energi, and the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. Most labels will change between 1-5 miles per gallon (mpg). The largest change is for the Lincoln MKZ hybrid whose combined city and highway fuel economy value has been reduced by 7 mpg. EPA and DOE have updated their joint fuel economy site, www.fueleconomy.gov, to reflect the corrected numbers.
EPA's National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Mich., conducts fuel economy testing on a number of vehicles each year to ensure that their performance matches the mileage and emissions data submitted to EPA by automakers. These "spot-checks" are part of the oversight program that helps verify that vehicles on the road meet tailpipe emission standards to protect public health and the environment and that all carmakers follow the same procedures for calculating mileage estimates.

If you're looking for the best source of free music in the world, look no further than YouTube.
First and foremost, YouTube is an excellent resource for music fans. A few years ago, if you wanted to hear what a band sounded like in seconds, you'd check MySpace; these days, thanks to Google's advances in music licensing, you can find just about any song on YouTube — and watch the video to boot, assuming you even want to. YouTube works great as an on-demand music service, and even allows users to create and share playlists. (Tip: the high-resolution version of the videos often contains better-quality audio.)
Where other ad-supported on-demand music services have failed or been driven under by lawsuits, free music thrives on YouTube, in part because it can offset licensing costs with lucrative video advertisements – and simply because it's YouTube, and record labels cannot afford not to be there. Rather than pulling their music from the site, most of the major labels embraced it by creating a joint venture with YouTube (Vevo).
Clearly, YouTube does a lot for the music business, fans and artists. Music videos consistently rank among the most popular on the site. Even better, YouTube's audio fingerprinting technology, Content ID, ensures that people can upload videos that would normally have to be deleted for copyright reasons, with associated royalties going to musicians and other copyright holders as part of YouTube's Partner Program. Essentially, this does what used to be considered impossible: enabling copyright holders to profit from copyright infringement.
This is all well and good: YouTube users get to upload and stream pretty much whatever they want, while the artists and labels who join YouTube's Partner Program are compensated commensurately.
But on a structural level, the site's success with music could have a big, negative side effect. YouTube's comprehensiveness as a free music source might be hurting music subscriptions, and by extension artists, by offering users a free place to hear just about any song they want — the same core function for which Rhapsody hopes you'll pay $10 per month.
YouTube might even hurt those services a second time in the music app market. App developers who want to play full songs within their apps have a big incentive to integrate YouTube instead of paid subscription services.
For example, Last.fm, MySpace's own iLike (even when MySpace offers its own full-song music subscription), Bump, Discovr and Muziic, among others, choose to embed YouTube videos as a method of including full songs without paying for a license themselves or integrating a subscription service that would ultimately generate more revenue for artists than those YouTube ads.
Music fans love YouTube, present company included. I have yet to find anything better for sharing music on Facebook, and the site has brought me countless hours (days? months?) of musical enjoyment. But by giving both fans and app developers such an excellent free alternative to the subscription services that might eventually enable artists of the future to buy a new guitar or pay their rent, is it really doing music a service? When app developers create interesting new services, like the ability to share music with a fist bump, use YouTube videos rather than a true music service, are they helping or hurting music, artists, and ultimately, fans?
Complicating matters: Google is working on a music service of its own, having purchased the do-it-yourself cloud-based music service Simplify Media last May and hired longtime Rhapsody executive Tim Quirk to oversee the project last year. Why the delay? It could be that, having seen how well YouTube already delivers on-demand music, Google understands all too well the heady competition faced by any premium music service.
We contacted two normally helpful YouTube spokespeople and gave them plenty of time to address this issue, but neither responded to our queries.

Dana and Joyce necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 16 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
logo needed for inspirational speaking business incorporating a compass and the words "The Guiding Principle"
The Guiding Principle
We are inspirational public speakers who have developed a system to help people achieve inner peace. A key component of our work is to guide people to look inside for their answers and solutions. We have developed a unique compass which all our material is centered around. We will be referring to this compass in our writing and our speaking and we will be selling it as a motivational aid therefore it is really important that our logo contains the compass.
A normal compass always points north. Our compass points in to the center, rather than out. There is a star in the center of the compass to which the needle points. There are no words, numbers or letters on this compass. But 4 notches are required where the normal direction letters are (North, South, East, West)
An idea may be to look at old nautical compasses for inspiration. We would like an old nautical compass with fresh aquatic colors and a modern, classic, simple feel.
Although we want it to look like a normal compass it needs to be obvious at first glance that the needle points inward to the star (not outward to the North)
- Item 1...include the words "The Guiding Principle"
- clean, fresh, classic look
- professional look
- must use our compass design idea in logo (see details in description)
- aquatic colors
- look to old nautical compasses for inspiration
- cartoony feel
- no primary colors
- don't just use neutral tones, must have some color
- abstract designs (want it to be clear it is a compass)

The tale of Jude the Wonder Dog
Wick's World
I bellied up to the bar at Whimp's in beautiful downtown Burbank, South Dakota.
"Hey Ken, we named our kid after your dog."
The guy sitting next to Ken slowly slithered toward the corner.
"Congrats," Ken said. "I heard you guys had a boy. So you named him Jude?"
I was lying. Jude is actually my son's middle name borrowed from the Beatles classic "Hey Jude," although we would have been just as proud to give the credit to remarkable Jude the Wonder Dog. Jude's odyssey will tell you why.
In 1972, Ken and Sammy loaded their Volkswagen van and spent the winter trekking throughout Mexico and Guatemala. Travelling with a dog was no problem, especially with a dog as smart as Jude. Jude was no problem, that is until the day Ken and Sammy decided to see the four-hour movie version of George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh. They were in Mexico City at the time and for safety reasons they found a parking lot that had a trustworthy attendant who would guard Jude for a nominal fee. Mexico is a delightful country but with a different culture than we are used to. Instead of the usual guard dog, this was a case of a human guarding the dog. In addition, the attendant was to keep Jude fed and watered and if necessary let him out for a potty break. However, it was vital that Jude be leashed because he was raised as a farm dog who loved to roam.
Then the inevitable happened. When his guard went to move the van to make more room in the parking lot, Jude took the opportunity to jump out of the van. Getting him back in the van was unsuccessful to say the least. When Jude got tired of toying with his guard, he decided to explore Chapultepec Park. This is Mexico City's large version of New York's Central Park.
Ken and Sammy exited the movie theater and returned to an empty van and a very upset attendant. He explained that no amount of coercion could get Jude to re-enter the VW van. To no avail, Spanish-speaking Ken and Sammy spent the rest of the day traversing the park. Many people had seen Jude, the unleashed white shepherd, frolicking in the park. But the reply was always the same, "He went that –a-way."
Darkness descended upon the huge metropolis. Eventually recognizing the hopelessness of the situation, Ken and Sammy continued their journey, although this time it was with aching hearts. They eventually returned to the hacienda in San Miguel Allende where their journey began to spend the remainder of the winter.
One morning a telegram arrived at their door. It read, "Met a friend in Oaxaca-stop-tomorrow Comitan-stop-see you soon-stop- love, Jude."
Jude now was an official Wonder Dog as Ken and Sammy wondered how did a dog send a telegram? Here is the story in Jude's words.
"You guys left me at the park! I saw another VW van like ours so I pestered the long-haired guys until they gave me a ride. We went to Oaxaca (500 miles from Mexico City) where I got to run and play at the town square. Then I smelled our old friend Jim van Tassel! I knocked him down and licked him all over."
Jim said, "Jude, is that you?"
"I guess he recognized me by that big cut that I've had forever on my ear. We've been running all over for the past three weeks and now here I am!"
Jim was aware that Ken and Sammy would eventually return to San Miguel Allende. He drove past the hacienda where they were staying and saw their van parked outside. He let Jude out before turning the corner just out of sight. Jude ran up to the door and began barking like crazy.
Ken and Sammy came rushing outside.
"Jude, where have you been?" they screamed.
Eventually Jim van Tassel sauntered up the driveway and reiterated the amazing tale of Jude the Wonder Dog.

My work is inspired by aerial views of the world below. This perspective has fascinated humans for thousands of years from Neolithic artists who depicted bird's eyes images of surrounding country to our contemporary images of the earth taken by satellite.
I am an incessant traveller and have explored Australia and overseas destinations in commercial aircraft, light planes, helicopter and hot air balloon. From sketches, photographs and further research on the internet I create an impression of the landscape beneath me. Geographical features such as lakes, mountain ranges, snaking rivers and deserts along with the imprints of human civilization create an endless source of fascination. The resulting works are abstracted topographical landscapes.
As a printmaker and painter I have combined both disciplines in my work to create etchings that incorporate painting and drawing and paintings that use print techniques. My work continues to evolve through experimentation and fresh insight.

| 8.2°C Belfast
The owner of PC World and Currys has revealed it is in talks with mobile phone retailer Carphone Warehouse about a potential merger.
Dixons Retail Group said the discussions are at an early stage and that no decisions have been made about how a tie-up might be structured.
Both companies are valued at around £1.8 billion on the London stock market, following a rise of 5% for shares in Dixons and 3% for Carphone Warehouse.
Carphone was founded in 1989 by Charles Dunstone, who still owns 23% of the company. It has more than 2,000 stores across Europe.
The business was recently boosted by a major deal to open 60 Samsung-branded stores across Europe, including a third on UK high streets.
Dixons has more than 500 stores across the UK and Ireland, predominantly in out-of-town retail parks and increasingly as '2-in-1' Currys PC World stores. There is also a sizeable store estate in northern Europe.
Both companies have weathered the difficult trading conditions in UK retail, with Dixons recently reporting its second year in a row of improved Christmas trading as it benefits from the demise of rival Comet.
The company has an ongoing relationship with Phones4U, which sees Carphone's rival offer PC World and Currys customers the latest mobile technology in a number of stores.
Carphone recently said like-for-like revenues rose 5% in the UK during the quarter to December 28 as its performance was boosted by the popularity of more expensive smartphones.
The two companies said today: "The boards of Dixons and Carphone Warehouse note the recent speculation and confirm that the two companies are in preliminary discussions regarding a possible merger of Dixons and Carphone Warehouse.
"T hese discussions are at a very preliminary stage and there can be no certainty that a transaction will be forthcoming. No decision has been reached regarding the structuring of any such merger."

On Friday May 2, Joe Belfiore, VP in the Windows Phone team participated in a reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA). There were several good questions and more importantly, several good answers there. One of the revelations from the AMA was an upcoming File Manager app for Windows Phone 8.1.
The app's existence, and the fact that it should hopefully land in the Store around the end of May, was revealed by Belfiore in response to a question about file management on the phone. In fact, in his response, he mentioned that it is a highly requested feature and that he was glad to announce that the app is coming.
WOO HOO! SOMEONE ASKED THIS QUESTION!! I've been waiting! in fact, I've avoided tweeting on this very topic just for all you redditors. Seriously.
in fact– you GET A CORTANA T-SHIRT FOR ASKING!! :) (PM me your size and we'll get it to you.)
*** YES *** We are doing a File Manager for WP8.1! I know a LOT of you are looking for this (thanks for the tweets, I've read them all). In fact, I've been running a build of it on two of my phones for the last week or so and it's getting to pretty good shape.
Here's what it looks like: http://imgur.com/a/hvqGD#nRuOFXp
We are expecting to get it into the store HOPEFULLY by the end of May.
Some screenshots that he linked to:
The app by itself is nothing special. All the functionality that you expect from a file management application seems to exist. The design is quite consistent with the Windows Phone design language, with the large tiles for folders and the large names of files making them easy touch targets.
However, my first reaction was of disbelief, that there were in fact many requests for such an app:
Folks getting excited over a FILE MANAGER app for a PHONE? Ugh. That's so low on *my* priority list. How about actionable notifications?
— Romit Mehta (@TheRomit) May 2, 2014
An interesting use case though, was brought up by Belfiore himself, on twitter (and the last screenshot above shows this use case in action):
@tomwarren Agree most folks don't need Files app. BUT, #WP supports SD cards & iPhone doesn't, so there's viewing/moving files from SD.
— joebelfiore (@joebelfiore) May 2, 2014
Right, so normal users shouldn't and wouldn't care about managing files on the phone. However, Windows Phone supports external storage and with Windows Phone 8.1, even apps can be installed on the external storage. With microSD card storage capacities going up and the push to lower cost of phones making on-board storage minimal, it may very well be that most Windows Phone users will need a way to move files back and forth between the device storage and external storage.
Hence, this app deserves the attention it has apparently got. However, it is a good sign that Microsoft is pushing all such functionality to apps and making several things possible as a result: make it optional for customers to use this app or not; make it easy for Microsoft to update the app based on features and functionality requested by the customers; keep the OS size smaller so that phones will low on-board storage don't end up using much of it for the OS itself, and not have to wait until the next version of OS to deliver this functionality.
I like the fact that Belfiore chose to reveal this app on reddit. I suspect most of the requests for such an app would have come from the "power users", and those are the type of users who would be on reddit to hear what he may have to say.
My phone (Lumia 920) does not have external storage so this app is not for me yet. I may get one of the upcoming Windows Phone 8.1 devices and if they have expandability, I will most surely get an external card and will need this app. Looking forward to it regardless.
Are you?

TLC kicked off with a nice video package inspired by "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."
Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole welcomed everyone to the show. No Booker since he's wrestling.
Vickie Guerrero came out and introduced Dolph Ziggler.
WWE United States champion Dolph Ziggler vs. Zack Ryder.
Massive pop for Ryder coming out. Ryder got the early offense on Dolph, including a catapult into the corner, then a clothesline over the top to the floor. Ryder hit a flip dive over the top to the floor and jumped up doing the fistpump. He slammed Ziggler into the apron but Dolph came back with a DDT on the apron. The crowd immediately began chanting, "Let's go Ryder."
Ziggler followed up with a neckbreaker and a series of elbowdrops. He covered Ryder for a two count. Ziggler continued the assault and locked in a side chinlock. The crowd was behind Ryder big time, chanting for him. Ziggler drilled him down and mocked Zack by doing situps in the ring. Ryder was trapped in the chinlock again and the crowd chanted for him to make the comeback. Say what you will about Ryder, but the crowd is emotionally invested into him in a way they aren't about most of the guys working today.
Ziggler placed Ryder on the top and slapped him but Ryder slapped him back and nailed a missile dropkick for a two count. Both men struggled to return to their feet. Ziggler charged but was nailed with an elbow to the face. Ryder followed up with a running forearm and a boot scrape in the corner. They called it the Broski Boot. Ryder covered Vickie but she draped Dolph's foot over the bottom rope. The referee threw her out of ringside.
Ziggler rolled up Dolph with a jackrabbit rollup. Dolph rolled through and reversed it grabbing the ropes for leverage but Ryder still kicked up. Ziggler nailed the Famouser but Ryder kicked up at the last second. Ziggler went for a sleeper but was shoved off. Ziggler nailed a leaping leg lariat for a two count. Ziggler went to the top but was cut off. Ryder nailed a top rope rana for a close near fall.
Ryder signalled for the Rough Ryder but Ziggler sent him into the turnbuckles and rolled him up, hooking the tights for another two count. The crowd chanted for Ryder, who pulled himself up in the corner. Ziggler went for a big splash in the corner but Ryder drilled him with a pair of knees. Ryder nailed the Rough Ryder and scored the pin as the place went nuts.
Your winner and new United States champion, Zack Ryder!
Ryder ran to the first row with the title and embraced his father. He leapt on the announcer's table and did the firstpump.
Good opener and the right result. A really nice feel good moment.
Backstage, Booker T told Alicia Fox he was excited about his match against Cody Rhodes where Cody attacked him and worked over Booker. A ton of officials hit the scene and pulled them apart as Rhodes screamed "Can you dig that Booker? Merry Christmas." Booker looked irate as he got to his feet.
WWE Tag Team champions Air Boom vs. Epico and Primo (with Rosa Mendes)
Rosa was doing a Shelly Martinez deal, dancing while pointing to her charges when they were in the corners, just like Salinas in LAX. Epico and Bourne started off. Bourne caught him with a small package early for a two count. Bourne controlled him and sunset flipped him for a two count. Kingston tagged in. The challengers tried to double team him but were nailed with a dropkick.
Primo cut off Kofi and monkeyflipped him out of the corner. Kingston landed on his feet and monkeyflipped Primo in response. Bourne tagged in and the champs began working over Primo. Primo cut off Bourne. He tried to nailed a springboard bodypress on both Primo and Epico but they caught him and tossed him out of the ring to the floor. Epico tossed him back into the ring for a two count.
Epico and Primo cut the ring off on Bourne, stomping him in the corner. Primo covered him for a two count and locked in a front facelock. Bourne nearly fought his way to the corner but was carried back to the challengers' corner. By the way, Mendes is looking beyond hot. Happy to finally see her in a regular role. The challengers kept working over Bourne, who kicked up.
Cole and Lawler talked about what was trending. I bet 25 years from now, people are really going to care as they watch this PPV.
Kingston tried to rally his champion. Epico locked Bourne in the Gori Guerrero Especial, trying to force a submission. Bourne finally nailed Epico, drinking him down to the mat with both his knees. Kingston made the hot tag and cleaned house, as they say, on the challengers. Kingston nailed Epico to the floor and clotheslined Primo. Kingston drilled Primo with the Boom Drop. He called for Trouble in Paradise but Primo saw it and ducked backwards. Primo kicked him but Kingston came back with a flying bodypress for a two count. Epico broke it up. Bourne nailed a dive to the floor on Epico.
Kingston nailed Trouble in Paradise on Primo and scored the pin.
Your winners and still WWE Tag Team champions, Air Boom!
Solid match but nothing really outside the box memorable. Everyone worked a decent pace and it was pretty much what you'd expect.

Colorado Christian University asks for $5k political contribution back
Colorado Christian University "accidentally" gave $5,000 to a super PAC set up to support Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer — something prohibited under its 501c(3) non-profit status, a Washington watchdog group reported Wednesday.
Officials at CCU told the Center for Public Integrity that they would ask for the donation back, once the Center contacted them about the donation.
"It goes down as the stupidest mistake I've made in a while," John Andrews told the Center for Public Integrity Tuesday. Andrews is the director of the university-affiliated Centennial Institute.
He called the payment a bookkeeping error, according to the Center.
Non-profit 501c(3)s are not allowed to expressly support or give money to political candidates, but can advocate on behalf of policies.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 mintues
Serves: 4 servings
2 pounds ground chicken
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
2 shallots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
5 button mushrooms, stems removed, finely chopped
1/4 pound Havarti with dill cheese, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Salt and pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling, plus a couple tablespoons
1 cup sour cream
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped or snipped with kitchen scissors
3 to 4 tablespoons capers, drained - run your knife through them once
1 seedless cucumber, cut in 1/2 lengthwise, then sliced into half moons
1 small red onion, peeled and sliced
3 plum tomatoes, seeded then thinly sliced
1 pound sack washed baby spinach
2 to 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
4 crusty poppy seed rolls or other burger buns of your choice
2 large radishes, thinly sliced
1 sack gourmet potato chips, such as Terra Chips Onion and Herb Yukon Gold or Blue Potato chips
Combine ground chicken, poultry seasoning, chopped shallots, Dijon mustard, chopped mushroom, diced Havarti, salt and pepper, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Mix thoroughly. Score the meat with your hand marking 4 equal portions. Form each portion into large 1-inch thick patties.
Preheat a non stick skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the patties and place them in the hot skillet. Cook 6 minutes per side until the patties are firm to the touch and cooked through.
While the burgers are cooking prepare the herb caper sauce and mod salad. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, chopped dill and capers then season with salt and pepper.
In a salad bowl combine the cucumbers, half of the red onion, plum tomatoes and 3/4 sack of baby spinach. Dress the salad with white wine vinegar, salt and pepper then drizzle with a couple tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil to coat the salad lightly and evenly. Toss to combine and adjust salt and pepper, to your taste.
Split the rolls or buns. Place the burgers on the bun bottoms. Top with sliced radishes, baby spinach and a heaping spoonful of herb-caper dressing slathered across the bun tops. Add remaining sauce into the salad and combine to give your salad a creamy finish. Fancy chips finish the plate.
The colder the semi-soft Havarti with dill cheese is the easier it will be to dice it. Pop the cheese in the freezer while you prep everything else. Because of the fat content of the cheese, just 10 minutes in a deep freeze makes the dicing a real breeze!

2013 Specialized Enduro Teaser
I'm down in Snowbird, Utah for the Specialized 2013 global product launch. Day 1 has wrapped up, we've been inundated with new bikes, new gear and specs galore. Oh yeah, and we also spent a few hours riding this afternoon. I'll have a full report on everything I've seen and ridden in the next week or so, but for now, I'm going to post a few teaser shots of one of the untold stories from this launch: the 2013 Enduro.
Snowbird Resort, about an hour southeast of Salt Lake City, isn't a bad place to spend a week.The resort buildings are just left of centre in the photo.
The new Enduro is more of a refinement of an existing platform than a re-imagining, with the goal of making the all-mountain experience even more enjoyable. Bottom bracket height, chainstay length and heat tube angle stay the same, while rear travel increases to 165mm for 2013 and the suspension has been tweaked to make it more efficient. There's a coil-sprung EVO model with 180mm of travel, as well as a 100mm Enduro SX slalom race frame available. All frames also come with internal cable routing for a dropper post.
There have also been a few notable spec changes. The top-of-the-line S-Works model comes with a Cane Creek Double Barrel Air shock, as well as SRAM's new XX1 1 x 11 drivetrain. Most models come with Fox's new 34mm stanchion, 160mm travel forks, which have 15mm axles; the full article will have the complete spec run-down.
All Enduro models except the S-Works also come with the new AutoSag feature, which allows you to adjust sag by pumping the shock up to body weight plus ~10%, removing the pump and then pressing an air valve. Very simple and very trick. Higher-end models also come with the new Roval Traverse carbon wheels.
At this point in time, release date for new Enduros is looking like September, but that may shift. Pricing is even more up in the air. I'm hoping to have both of those things plus weights in the full write-up, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, enjoy the photos and a few details to accompany the shots.
The 2013 Specialized Enduro Expert. The carbon frame uses the same X-wing frame design as the last-generation Enduro, with some refinements.
There are several things going on here. Starting at the back, there's an internal sleeve for the rear derailleur cable as well as integrated padding on top of the chainstay. Specialized moved the pivots at the seat stay / seat tube junction – which they refer to as the Six Pack – to improve kinematics and reduce mid-travel wallow. The cable above the rear shock is for the Command Post Blacklite, which will be spec'd on higher-end models. All Enduro frames also have water bottle mounts.
The internal cable routing for height-adjustable posts is a nice touch, and comes standard on all Enduros.
A close-up of the forward shock mount on the carbon Enduro. The lines on this bike are gorgeous.
Specialized has come up with a really cool way of keeping the cable for dropper posts in check: a forged seat clamp with a built-in loop that the cable runs through. Very clever.
The other side of the Enduro Expert. Notice how large the down tube / seat tube / bottom bracket junction is. All that carbon makes for a very stiff frame.
The aluminum Enduro Comp is basically a down-spec version of the carbon Expert. Same travel front and rear, same frame geometry and pivot placement, but without the fancy parts and correspondingly steeper price tag.
Not surprisingly, the front shock mount on the aluminum frame is a little different than the one on the carbon frame.
The down tube / seat tube / bottom bracket junction on the aluminum Enduro isn't quite as large as its carbon sibling. Note how the front derailleur cable comes through the yoke behind the bottom bracket.
A close-up of the head tube on the aluminum Enduro Comp. Tapered head tube, down tube cable routing, and the hole near the front of the top tube for internal dropper post cable routing.
A close-up of the AutoSag feature (red cap), which appears on many new Specialized bikes. Add air until you're about 10% over body weight, hop on, unscrew the AutoSag cap, push the valve stem and it automatically settles at the correct sag for your weight. That equates to approximately 25% sag, depending on the bike's rear travel.
The new Enduro gets more travel, some nice refinements, and an updated look. The current Enduro is a Shore shredder… could the 2013 edition find a home in your garage?
There were a number of questions posted on the board about the wisdom of spec'ing a Fox 34 fork instead of a Fox 36 on the Enduros, so I figured that I should go directly to the source for the answer. And the source is Brandon Sloan, Director of the High-end Mountain Group at Specialized. Here's what he had to say:
"We used the 34mm fork for weight. I can see some of your readers a little nervous considering the terrain on the Shore, but they should give a 34 a try before dismissing it. 'Smaller' bikes are more capable while 'bigger' bikes are more efficient than ever. We like to think we got the balance right with the new Enduro. Hopefully your readers will agree when they get a chance to ride the bike."
Sounds quite reasonable…
I also reached out to Mark Jordan, Marketing Manager at Fox (formerly Fox Racing Shox), to get official weights so people can see how much weight we're talking about. He also made a point of noting that "[t]he 34 160 was built to fit in between the 32 and the 34, so the crown is modeled after the 36 but the lowers/axle from the 32." Here are the hard numbers from Mark:
– 34 chassis is 20% stiffer than 32
– 34 Float is 0.44 lbs. / 200 grams lighter than 36 Float
Weights for comparable travel forks are as follows:
– 32 Float CTD Adj 150 = 3.85 lbs.
– 34 Float CTD Adj 160 = 4.3 lbs.
– 36 Float FIT RC2 160 = 4.7 lbs.
Mark's numbers clearly support Brandon's assertion that the fork is lighter. Brandon's also been spec'ing bikes (as well as riding the Shore and Whistler) for quite a while now, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. We'll try and line up a test of a new Enduro with a 34mm fork to do our own torture testing, and see whether (or not) the numbers hold up to real-world riding conditions in BC. You know where to stay tuned for the full story.

What Calendars Reveal about Culture
[S]tudying calendars is a way to understand cultures. Not only are they necessary for basic survival—if you plant either before the last frost or too late after it you'll starve—but calendars are also ways societies mark their priorities and organize their memories. "Christendom" was very much Christian, and the calendar made that pretty clear.
Seven Score and Four Years Ago
On this day in 1863, President Lincoln delivered one of the most significant orations in American history. Today's Writer's Almanac marvels at the economy of Lincoln's prose:

Cherish Perrywinkle's mother speaks after daughter's death
Rayne Perrywinkle says 'every day is a struggle,' can barely eat or sleep
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Six weeks ago, Rayne Perrywinkle lost a light in her life -- her daughter 8-year-old Cherish.
"It's been 6 weeks and I keep thinking she's going to walk in the door," Perrywinkle told Channel 4's Hailey Winslow Tuesday night. "It's beyond any nightmare I could ever imagine. I don't ever want any parent to feel like this."
Perrywinkle said every day is a struggle and she feels nauseous all the time. She said she can barely eat or sleep.
Perrywinkle said her pain continued after her other two other children were taken away by the Department of Children and Families.
"My children are my light. When Cherish left, everything's gone," said Perrywinkle. "After Cherish left, my other girls left, everything fell apart. She played with them, she was always the mother, the teacher. Sometimes I'd get mad at Cherish because she'd be too bossy. Life is too short, Hailey."
Perrywinkle said she never imagined something like this could happen. She said she never imagined life would be so short for Cherish, who police said was kidnapped and killed by Donald Smith, a sexual predator.
"This should never happen. It's an abomination that he was ever let out and I'm totally disgusted in the justice system for ever letting him out," said Perrywinkle.
Now, Perrywinkle said she plans to do everything in her power to prevent what happened to her daughter from happening to another child.
"I fear for the next mother and the next parent that's going to be on TV. It could be tomorrow, it could be a few more months, it could be a year," said Perrywinkle. "I don't want to see another mom like myself or Mark Lunsford or Mark Class or Somer Thompson's mom, Diena Thompson. I don't want to see any more people like that on TV. It's devastation and now I'm added to the list."
Perrywinkle said she's hoping stricter laws will be put in place to protect kids like Cherish from predators.
"If I could say one more thing to Cherish, what would it be? Wait for me at the gate," said Perrywinkle.
