What is a supermoon? Is it a myth is mostly motivated by desire for publicity or is it true astronomical phenomenon?
The media like to hype the supermoon phenomenon, so arm yourself with the facts instead of the fiction: what is a supermoon?
What is a Supermoon?
The term "supermoon" was first coined by astrologer Richard Nolle to describe the full or new Moon when it's less than 223,000 miles (359,000 km) from Earth. That's about 6% closer than the average Earth-Moon distance, which is 239,000 miles.
Despite being closer than usual, supermoons are rather ordinary and, by Nolle's definition, take place several times a year. But the media won't hype that up — can you imagine headlines publicizing, "Come out and see the Moon that's a little bigger than normal!" or "Look out for this amazing event that happens several times a year!" — yeah, me neither.
Supermoon: Fact vs. FictionWhen supermoons are in the news, you might hear startling statistics about size and brightness increases, but don't be fooled. Any given supermoon may only be about several percent larger than the average full moon. Most sources advertise larger size increases because they're comparing against the smallest full Moon of the year.
A supermoon may also bring the largest tides of the year because a closer Moon exerts a stronger gravitational pull and creates more variation between the tides. However, this variation is hardly enough to account for massive earthquakes, flooding, or volcanic eruptions.
The Moon Illusion
But even though the Moon isn't noticeably bigger on the night of the supermoon, at least not without some kind measuring tool, lots of folks will head out to see a huge full Moon looming over the treetops. The so-called Moon Illusion causes the Moon to appear bigger when viewed along the horizon and can fool people into believing the supermoon myth.
Nobody quite understands why the Moon illusion happens, but here are two of the theories psychologists think might explain this effect:One theory claims that our brain perceives the distance to the sky directly overhead as closer than the distance to the horizon. We think the Moon must be bigger along the horizon because we perceive the distance to the horizon as farther away. Don't buy the theory? Look at the picture to the right. The top line seems larger than the bottom one. But measure for yourself and, surprisingly, you'll find the lines are the same size. Psychologists have also suggested that an overhead Moon looks smaller because it's surrounded by empty space, while a Moon near the horizon appears larger juxtaposed against trees and buildings. The picture on the right shows two orange circles of identical size. But the orange circle on the right appears larger than the one at the left because of its relative size to the surrounding circles.
So a supermoon might look bigger than normal if you see it in the evening when the Moon's just rising, but the real size difference isn't big enough to notice.
Then what is there to look forward to? As always, a full Moon is a great opportunity for astrophotography — it's so bright that you only need exposures of a fraction of a second, just like daylight photos. And despite the fact that the supermoon isn't as extraordinary as some might have you think, any full Moon is still a spectacular sight to behold. So answers the question, "What is a supermoon?"

Daniel Daeppen
I have always been interested in art and culture. But the world of photography has opened up to me much later. I am a self taught photographer always in search of my photographic expression and my strength. Only with time the love and admiration for documentary photography has emerged. The positive confrontation with the human condition is very important to me. Therefore I am most comfortable in photographing humans and try to capture moments and stories to provide soulful insights to everydays life.
I was born in Switzerland in 68.
German speaking and French thinking.
A chaotic perfectionist.
Down to earth and nature but daydreaming A family man and a bon-vivant
Giving up is not an option.
I believe that everyday something great can and will happen. I believe that when I walk around open heart-and minded I will see those moments. On one hand I have to be quick to react to them and I also have to slow down to flow within life around me. The X100T gives me just both. The intuitive handling allows me to be fast and gives me the oppor- tunity to slow down for more intense observation. With this camera I have the analog feeling in a digital world and I am discrete and unobtrusive. As an intuitive person the electronic viewfinder gives me the "what you see is what you get" feeling to compose my image as seen in my head. Simply perfect! That the image quality of the X100T is top notch makes it the first choice for everyday, carry around, all purpose camera for me. I never leave my house without.

Threat of Bacterial Resistance Can Be Minimized in Rosacea
Improper use of oral antibiotics, including long-term use over months to years, has resulted in resistant bacteria that are posing a serious health threat, according to Dr. Theodore Rosen, professor of dermatology at Baylor College of Medicine, at a recent meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology. He also noted that alternative options are available that can minimize this risk.
"We are being bombarded every year by increasingly resistant bacteria," Dr. Rosen said. "Some of these are relatively trivial, some are really bad -- like MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) -- and some are wreaking havoc."
Bacteria may develop resistance through exposure to an antibiotic over a long period of time, he explained, including through food animals, such as cattle, that are routinely given antibiotics, as well as patients prescribed the drugs long-term.
In addition, bacteria may become resistant to multiple drugs and may spread their immunity among other bacterial strains, he said, resulting in unresponsiveness to treatment for such potentially harmful bacteria as the widespread Escherichia coli, linked to urinary tract infections and food poisoning, and even Yersinia pestis, the causative organism of bubonic plague.
According to the World Health Organization, there were 9.5 million new tuberculosis cases and nearly 2 million deaths in 2008 -- and about 150,000 of the fatalities were due to multi-drug-resistant strains.
Dr. Rosen recommended that the use of oral antibiotics in treating rosacea be minimized by using a low-dose, controlled-release oral therapy to reduce the potential for bacterial resistance as well as to avoid side effects associated with long-term use. He noted that the potential for bacterial resistance is minimized because the lower dosage treats the inflammation of rosacea with no demonstrated antibacterial effects.
"Given that rosacea is a chronic condition requiring long-term therapy, this as well as topical therapy are important treatment options for eliminating the risk of bacterial resistance," he said.
In treating mild to moderate rosacea, doctors often prescribe oral and topical therapy to bring the condition under immediate control, followed by long-term medical therapy to maintain remission. When appropriate, higher doses of oral antibiotics may be prescribed, and other drugs may be used for patients who are unresponsive to conventional treatments.

Making letters and numbers appear pretty, rounded, and anti-aliased on a screen is much harder than you would think - you only need to look at the different methods and styles of font anti-aliasing in various graphical environments (and its supporters... Always the supporters...) to realise that it's never perfect - far from it, in fact. The funny thing is though, this struggle to put a round peg in a square hole (what rendering fonts with pixels actually is) is a lot older than you'd think.
Jonathan Hoefler, of Hoefler & Frere-Jones, has dug up an example of pixel-based font rendering from 1567, found in an embroidery guide written by Giovanni Ostaus.
As Hoefler explains:
While not dealing with pixels in a technical sense (as in, digital imaging), Ostaus did effectively work with the same limitations, and had to take the same arguments into account when designing this typeface as his modern colleagues in digital typography do. Simply fascinating.

The Nation asked seven prominent members of the independent film community, including several filmmakers who released major films this year, to take the temperature of the movement at this moment of flux. Participating are Allison Anders (Sugar Town); Alexander Payne (Election); Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry); John Pierson, former filmmakers' rep and author of the bible on independents, Spike, Mike, Slackers and Dykes; David O. Russell (Three Kings); Kevin Smith (Dogma); and Christine Vachon, a producer of Boys Don't Cry, Happiness, Velvet Goldmine and many other films. The interviews were conducted and edited by Peter Biskind.
Historically, independents have defined themselves against Hollywood, but last year the studios made several movies that displayed many of the characteristics of independent films. Meanwhile, more and more independent directors are working within the studio system. What's going on here?
Allison Anders:
American Beauty is not my idea of an independent movie. What was the budget on that? Like $30 million or something? And you've got these huge stars, Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening. Come on. That's the same scale as The Graduate was back in 1967. It's a studio movie for thinking adults, you know? It's a screenwriter's vision, not a director's vision. This guy [director Sam Mendes] is from England, doesn't know American culture. It's not like the Coen brothers where they're sitting there writing the script and cracking each other up and putting in fucking crazy-ass music and stuff. [Mendes] was a director-for-hire. My film Sugar Town opened the same weekend as American Beauty. If you have a choice between seeing an independent with [actors] you don't know and seeing American Beauty with stars in it, then you're like, Well, maybe I'll go see that. Which is what happened to Sugar Town.
John Pierson:
Hey, look, David O. Russell is like my hero right now because here's a guy who made a no-budget film, Spanking the Monkey, and then made a midlevel Miramax screwball comedy, Flirting With Disaster, that seemed to me to be still very personal and really hilarious, and then Three Kings, making probably the most political film of the year–inside the studio system, like a termite. Putting George Clooney in the filmand getting Warners to pay for it, that's great.
So now it's OK for independents to work for studios?
Kevin Smith:
Independent cinema is a myth. It was always kind of weird when people went, Yeah, you're an "indie." With the exception of Clerks, I've always made studio films–Mallrats for Universal, Chasing Amy and Dogma for Miramax, which is now a studio.
Christine Vachon:
I'm wondering if "independent" ever really did mean anything, you know? When I started producing ten or twelve years ago, an independent film was essentially a movie that you managed to finance by conning your friends and relatives into giving you money for [it], and all the so-called independent films I worked on were some kind of permutation of that, like Parting Glances or the first film I produced, Poison. I guess independence was supposed to mean free from any kind of creative control. But it's very rare these days that any money is "free." Whether it's the studio telling you that you have to put a star in or an equity financier telling you that you have to put a star in, they're still both saying it. So what difference does it make if that money is coming from New Line or if it's coming from Paramount or if it's coming from Joe Blow? Somebody wants to get their money back.

World stocks fell and the dollar firmed on Monday as investors moved to the sidelines or favored low-risk assets before Americans choose their president, China starts a leadership transition and Greece faces a fraught vote to secure fresh rescue funds.
Investors are nervous over whether the world's biggest economy will avert a shock as Washington will contend with an automatic $600 billion in spending cuts and tax hikes at year end -- known as the "fiscal cliff" -- after the presidential contest.
Continue Reading Below
World leaders at the G20 summit this weekend in Mexico City pressed the United States to act decisively on the tax and spending issues.
"People are pausing ahead of the election and what that means for the fiscal cliff," said Jim Paulsen, chief investment officer at Wells Capital Management in Minneapolis.
Opinion polls show the race between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney remains neck-and-neck at the start of the last day of campaigning, and the uncertainty over the outcome left financial markets jittery.
Safe-haven bids pushed the U.S. dollar up 0.2 percent to two-month highs against a basket of major currencies and German two-year government bond yields dropped below zero for the first time in two months on safe-haven demand.
In late morning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 8.56 points, or 0.07 percent, at 13,084.60. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 0.45 points, or 0.03 percent, at 1,413.75. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 8.92 points, or 0.30 percent, at 2,991.05.
European shares <.FTEU3> were down 0.5 percent, having ended the previous week at a two-week high.
The MSCI world shares index <.MIWD00000PUS> was 0.5 percent lower as Tokyo's Nikkei index <.N225> closed 0.5 percent weaker following Friday's Wall Street sell-off.
Benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury notes were up 10/32 in price, yielding 1.6823 percent, down 3 basis points from late on Friday.
In commodity markets, Brent crude oil turned higher, erasing early losses. December Brent futures last traded up 26 cents at $105.95 a barrel after they were bogged down earlier by a strong dollar and a drop in demand in the wake of Sandy, the deadly storm that pummeled the U.S. Northeast a week ago.
Sandy disrupted the distribution of gasoline and left millions without power in the region.
In line with the broader market caution, gold gained about 0.4 percent at $1,683.10 after Friday's 2 percent plunge.
While monitoring on the outcome of the tight race for the White House, investors were mindful of the leadership transition in China and developments in the euro zone debt crisis and their impact on the global economy.
It was expected that Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras' coalition will muster enough support on Wednesday to win a vote on structural reforms and a follow-up vote on Sunday on an austerity budget for 2013. These fiscal reforms are critical for the debt-laden nation to receive more financial aid from lenders.
"The concern remains the euro debt crisis and the continuing problems regarding Greece," said Matthew Lifson, senior trader and analyst at Cambridge Mercantile Group in Princeton, New Jersey.
On Thursday, China's ruling Communist party will begin the 18th congress in its history with the culmination a week later in the expected selection of Xi Jinping to succeed President Hu Jintao.

The group headed to the chancellor's office on Feb. 5 with a petition chanting "No debate, repatriate!"
Vice-chancellor Gary Matthews met the students in the courtyard to assure them the administration is working through the process and that he is "optimistic the remains will be repatriated."
The university's desire to return the remains to the tribes is not as easy as handing over a few boxes, however.
The university had formed a working group of scholars to determine whether the bones are culturally affiliated with a tribe, as mandated under the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).
Two anthropologists, an ethnic studies professor and a retired professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography sat on the working group.
The working group has since determined the skeletons are "culturally unidentifiable," while the Kumeyaay Cultural Repatriation Committee (KCRC) believes the remains belong to them.
"Although there is evidence from material culture that people have lived in the San Diego region since the late Pleistocene or early Holocene, the linguistic analyses and archaeological evidence indicate that the Kumeyaay moved into the region within the last few thousand years," stated the UCSD working group report. "The mtDNA profiles of the skeletons under discussion are not known; and there is scant genetic data available for the Kumeyaay."
The report goes on to say that there could be some genetic continuity between the skeletons and the Kumeyaay if the latter intermixed and then replaced earlier populations linguistically and culturally.
The KCRC, on the other hand, claims that the Viejas Band has inhabited the region for more than 10,000 years, and Sycuan ancestors have lived in the area for 12,000 years.
Last spring, UCSD wrote a letter to the Secretary of Interior to begin the repatriation process, but KCRC asked the university to withdraw the letter.
KCRC does not want to go through the repatriation process if the record signifies the remains are not "culturally affiliated" to the Kumeyaay people, said Steve Banegas, spokesman for KCRC.
KCRC plans to dispute the UCSD scholars' assertion before the NAGPRA Review Committee in November.
Ross Frank, a UCSD professor of Ethnic Studies, dissented from the majority view of the working group. Frank was the professor who marched with the students on Feb. 5 to demand repatriation.
Frank believes a different philosophical approach should have been taken.
"Kumeyaay use of the area … predates European settler society by a millennium, at the very least," Frank said. "Kumeyaay avow a deep sense of personal and communal responsibility for the recovery and proper reburial of all human remains of people who predate European settler society, no matter when or under what circumstances the original interment took place."
Yumul, a junior at UCSD, said the university's inability to return the remains has blacklisted the university among the Native American community.
Ninety-two Native American students are currently enrolled at the university, which statistically accounts for 0 percent of the student body.
"Ancestral and burial reverence is taken very seriously amongst native communities, and setting foot on this campus is very shameful," Yumul said. "Additionally, many Native students who do come here feel uncomfortable being on a campus that has disrespected their family and culture."

About Eduardo Santiere
Eduardo Santiere creates delicate abstract compositions on paper exclusively using graphite, colored pencil, and incisions in the work's surface—a combined practice of marking and scratching. He is best known for using a needle to lance the paper and create linear patterns from lacerations. As a result, his works appear to be both drawings and delicate sculptural reliefs. His compositions are typically minimal and feature small recurring motifs resembling circuitry and cellular structures. Santiere, who was trained in computer science, sees his works as demonstrations of evolving networks and systems of language, urban sprawl, ideology, and biology—or "Bio-Constructions" as he describes.

The LM2901x-Q1 family of devices consists of four independent voltage comparators,
designed to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from dual
supplies is possible, provided the difference between the two supplies is
2 V to 36 V, and VCC is at least 1.5 V more positive than the input
common-mode voltage. Current drain is independent of the supply voltage. The outputs can be
connected to other open-collector outputs to achieve wired-AND relationships. LM2901V-Q1 supports
higher VCC voltage and LM2901AV-Q1 supports higher
VCC and lower VIO.

Any third party repairs, outside modifications or customizations will void the warranty.
How to start an automatic watch?
It's very important to wind an automatic watch properly, prior to its use. The initial wind provided may only last a short while, making the watch appear defective once it stops ticking. To ensure your watch functions to the fullest of its capabilities, wait for it to stop and then wind the watch counter-clockwise 15-20 times. Next, push the crown back, screwing it down to preserve the water-resistance. *Be mindful that excessively winding the watch may cause damages to the movement, so don't overdo it. Unlike self-winding watches, the crown doesn't need to be wound on quartz models. If it still isn't ticking, simply bring it by for a battery replacement.
Why the watch is running slow?
A watch can lose time for various reasons including, but not limited to a dying battery, which will cause the second-hand to begin jumping across several seconds at once instead of passing each individually, magnetization, causing tension between small parts within the movement and natural friction from the watch being worn. If the watch is a mechanical model (Automatic or Manual-wind) this can also be a sign that the watch needs to be overhauled.
How to use a chronograph?
Operating a Chronograph requires using the pushers on the side of the case. The top pusher is used to start and stop the chronograph hand while the one at the bottom is used to reset it. Once the top pusher is pressed, the hand will run continuously, which you can track using the accompanying sub-dial. In order to reset the chronograph, it has to be stopped first. Otherwise the button will do nothing when pressed.
How to set the date & time?
Whether you have a screw or push-down crown, setting the date and time is simple. If its a screw-down, unscrew it by turning it downward, counterclockwise prior to following these steps. Pull out the crown to the first integer to operate the date alone, allowing the time to continue ticking. Pulling the crown out farther, you're then allowed to adjust the time, which also shifts the date after each 24-hour cycle. Once you have your watch set, simply push the crown back in all the way and screw it fully closed to preserve its water-resistance. *Do not change the date when the watch is between 10PM-2AM because the movement can be damaged.
How to ensure the watch is waterproof?
For a watch, water is the worst enemy. To make sure you protect your watch properly check these factors before wearing it. First, see what kind of crown you have. If it is a push-down crown the watch is definitely not waterproof, but water-resistant. If the watch has a screw-down crown, then it may be waterproof, but you should check your model's specifications to be sure. *Most importantly, no matter what kind of crown you have, you should check the watch for damages to the case, which will allow water to reach the movement regardless of whether the crown is closed or not. However, if you have any doubts, its best to have the watch water-tested, which will give you a conclusive result.

As talks begin, Palestinians reach out to Israel
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — The Palestinians have traditionally shown little affection for Israeli politicians. These days, however, they are reaching out to their adversaries in an attempt to jump-start recently renewed peace efforts.
Hoping to persuade skeptical Israeli decision makers that they are serious about peace, leading Palestinian politicians have been holding a series of meetings with their Israeli counterparts. The meetings have taken place in Europe, in Israel's parliament and next week, at the Palestinian government headquarters in the West Bank.
Mohammed al-Madani, who is organizing the effort, said the Palestinians realized they need to take a new approach after watching Israeli governments build Jewish settlements on the lands the Palestinians seek for their future state. The settlements, he said, are destroying hopes for peace.
"Therefore we decided to address the Israeli decision makers and shapers of public opinion to shake things up," he said. "The two-state solution is the only possible, doable choice for both peoples."
Al-Madani heads the Palestinian Outreach Committee to the Israeli Society, a government-backed group that was formed last year after the U.N. General Assembly, over Israeli objections, recognized Palestine as a non-member state. Senior Palestinian officials, including members of President Mahmoud Abbas' inner circle, sit on the committee.
Last year's U.N. vote sent already strained Palestinian relations with Israel tumbling to a new low, with Israel retaliating with additional settlement plans and the Palestinians threatening to use their new upgraded status to pursue sanctions and war crimes charges against Israel.
After months of prodding by the U.S., Israel and the Palestinians last month reopened their first substantive peace negotiations in nearly five years.
While previous rounds of peace talks, particularly in the 1990s, generated widespread hope and optimism, the current round has created little excitement. After so many years of mistrust, failure and bouts of violence, neither side seems to be optimistic that the latest talks, expected to last nine months, will be successful.
The Palestinians seek the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, territories captured by Israel in 1967, for their state. But as Israel continues to build settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, the Palestinians fear time is running out to divide the land between two states. More than 500,000 Israelis now live in the settlements. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005.
Israeli peace advocates say the establishment of a Palestinian state is the only way to preserve Israel's character as a democracy with a Jewish majority. The alternative, they say, is a single state in which Arabs, with their higher birthrate, will one day outnumber Jews.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has embraced the idea of a Palestinian state. But he has continued to expand Jewish settlements and refused to commit to the broad territorial concessions the Palestinians seek.
In July, the Palestinians hosted dozens of activists from Netanyahu's hard-line Likud Party, as well as Shas, an ultra-Orthodox party whose leaders frequently take tough positions toward the Palestinians.
"Our constant message to the Israelis is the only solution is the two-state solution, and this solution is in the interests of both peoples, not only the Palestinians," said Nidal Fuqaha, director of the Palestinian Peace Coalition and a member of the committee.
Earlier this month, five centrist Israeli lawmakers met in Budapest with a Palestinian delegation that included top members of President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement and a member of his negotiating team.
"We didn't negotiate of course. We talked and got to meet each other," said Boaz Toporovsky, a member of the centrist Yesh Atid who participated in the two-day gathering. Yesh Atid is a partner in Netanyahu's coalition.
Israelis talked about their experiences coping with suicide bombs and wars, while Palestinians talked about the hardships of living under Israeli occupation.
"We established a good connection," he said. "We understood the hard life the Palestinians are having. They understood the difficulties we are having. When you meet the other side, this is important." He said that the newfound trust could be important if any peace agreement goes to a vote in parliament.
In another recent meeting, a group of Palestinian officials traveled to Israel's Knesset, or parliament, as guests of the newly formed "Caucus for Ending the Israeli-Arab Conflict." For the first time in years, a Palestinian flag was displayed in the parliament building.
Ashraf Ajrami, a former Cabinet minister who was among the Palestinian participants, said he was surprised by how far Israelis and Palestinians have drifted from one another.
In the early days of peace efforts 20 years ago, there was frequent interaction between the sides. But there has been little contact since the outbreak of a Palestinian uprising in 2000. Although the violence has subsided, mistrust lingers.
"The long disconnect between us and the Palestinians has created huge gaps. There are too many Knesset members who don't understand our real position," Ajrami said. "By these discussions and meetings, we have made a breakthrough with the right-wing and religious camp."
Next Tuesday, the Palestinians plan on holding their most ambitious event yet. Abbas is to host roughly 12 Israeli lawmakers at his West Bank offices in Ramallah. The gathering is a response to the recent meeting at the Israeli parliament.
"It shows (Abbas) has a real will to talk and sees in himself a partner and therefore we immediately accepted the invitation," said Hilik Bar, a member of the dovish Labor party who leads the new parliamentary caucus.
Though the agenda of the meeting was not known, he said it would give a "backwind" to the negotiations. "It strengthens trust, discussion and dialogue between the sides," he said.
Josef Federman and Tia Goldenberg in Jerusalem contributed to this report.

Mama Greenest Defends Uma Thurman and New Baby: How Soon Is Too Soon to Take Your Newborn Out in Public?
How soon is too soon to take your newborn out in public? Uma Thurman finds herself in the center of this debate
Last week, my Web editor asked my opinion on a slightly heated discussion that started on our Facebook page. Uma Thurman had been photographed inside Press + Blend, a juice bar in Woodstock, with her one-day-old daughter. (Editor's note: See TMZ's original photo and our Facebook post here.) Given the public outcry you'd think the woman had been caught bottle feeding tequila to her newborn, but she was just picking up some cold pressed juice. Some commenters went so far as to call her stupid and selfish, justifying their vitriol with insistance that a new baby should be kept inside for a full month. I guess everyone's an expert when it's time to tear a stranger down...
My first impression of the discussion was "Wow, people are petty and mean." My second thought was that there seemed to be two separate issues up for debate: first, whether or not it's okay to take a one-day-old baby out in public; and second, whether or not Uma Thurman is a horrible person. The way I see it, the only person who gets to decide if their one-day-old goes out in public or not is its mother. Many health care professionals see no reason why a healthy newborn can't go outside; in fact, sunlight helps eliminate jaundice, something many babies are born with to some degree. Thurman is probably breastfeeding (which boosts immunity), and in the picture it appeared that she had the baby wrapped in a blanket close to her chest. She wasn't passing her around or holding her outstretched for the whole world to see; nobody even knows the kid's name yet.
As for the assaults on her character, I can only laugh. Celebrity culture is funny. I doubt a single person commenting in that discussion actually knows Uma Thurman. Calling her names? Making assumptions about her motivations based solely on her career choice? Who do we think we are?!
One commenter made an excellent point: that we shouldn't be contributing to the shaming of new mothers for their choices. I get behind that 100 percent. You get a lot further with sugar than you do with salt. Especially with a movie star.

DURHAM — Bill Page has a vision for what has become a sorry sight.
He's the new manager of Churchill Rink at Jackson's Landing where he hopes to make the facility more spectator friendly and maximize usage.
Page, who was hired just after Labor Day, has already made some improvements such as refurbishing the office, cleaning the restrooms and installing new partitions between the toilet stalls.
"It didn't cost a lot of money," he said recently. "Elbow grease and effort made it look presentable."
Even the name is new. Now he wants to take the outdoor facility to the next level. That will include a better viewing area for spectators, a warm room for between periods and other amenities.
"The biggest thing we'd like accomplish here is to create a weather resistant viewing environment," said Doug Bullen, director of operations for the town of Durham.
"That's the No. 1 complaint we get — lack of a viewing area," Page added.
Spectators right now have to look through foggy glass to see the game while standing at ice level. They have no place warm to go between periods, except maybe their vehicles.
"We want to make an effort to bring this thing to the next level," Page said. "We want to enhance the outdoor facility and give people a nice place to watch hockey."
Page has a wealth of experience in this area. He was heavily involved in renovating the Rochester Ice Arena. He also worked at the Whittemore Center in Durham and The Rinks at Exeter when those venues were just starting up.
Page plans to go before the Durham Town Council on Feb. 19 with suggestions on how to rectify some of the more pressing issues.
"We're looking to outline the deficiences we have now," he said, "and ways to eliminate those challenges."
Deterioration of the roof insulation, making for wet conditions, and lack of showers in the locker rooms are among the challenges.
"We're looking for (the Town Council's) blessing to proceed," Page said. "We're looking for their support to continue our efforts for the formal plan."
Most of the work being done now involves general housekeeping and maintenance, and improving the quality of the ice. The facility recently purchased a used ice edger.
"The motivation for doing this is the ability to control the environment inside the building," Page said. "Right now we have no way to control it."
The renovated office includes skate rental and skate sharpening areas.
Page and Bullen would like to eventually see Jackson's Landing become a multi-purpose, year-round facility with the rink as a centerpiece.
"It's dramatically under-utilized in the offseason," Page said. "The potential is good to turn the facility into a very active place in the offseason."
"We want to expand the use," Bullen said. "I think that's a huge element of it. We want to be a 365-day facility."
To that end, they're looking for innovative ways to promote the facility.
The rink recently upgraded its Zamboni ice-making machine from a 1972 model to a 1992 that was once used by the Tampa Bay Lighnting of the National Hockey League.
Page said the project, which he expects to take three to five years, won't have to be funded by taxpayer dollars.
According to Page, it will be paid for by a combination of sources, including future revenue generated by the facility, retained earnings already in the account and potential borrowing that will be paid back by revenue earned by the rink.
The rink currently charges $195.00 per hour for ice time, the second cheapest rate in the state, according to Page.
"There is no debt service on the building to speak of," he said. "One of the most important things is to be self-sufficient. That's where a place like this gets in trouble."
The rink's major tenant is Oyster River Youth Hockey. The Oyster River High School girls hockey also uses the facility for practices and games.
York High School practices at Jackson's Landing, but does not play its games there.
The facility opened in 1973. The first roof was installed in 1995 and collapsed within a year.
"What we're looking at is the potential for enclosing the arena while retaining the ability to have it be outdoors," Page said.
They've identified many of the problems; now they have to solve them.
"It's a challenge," Bullen added.

DETROIT - Three prominent analysts of Middle East politics will share their insights Friday, Sept. 6, when the Wayne State University Law School offers a panel discussion on "The Future of Reform Movements in the Arab World."
The free, public event will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Law School's Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium, 471 W. Palmer St. A reception will follow. Parking will be available in the structure across Palmer Street from the Law School for $6.50.
Professor of Law Gregory Fox, director of the Program for International Legal Studies, said he's delighted to host experts Professor Haider Hamoudi of the University of Pittsburgh Law School, Professor Tarek Masoud of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and Professor Mark Tessler of the Department of Political Science at the University of Michigan to serve on the panel. The analysts will discuss the precarious state of Arab political reform movements, often referred to as the "Arab Spring."
Starting in late 2011, protests and calls for reform swept the Arab world, and several long-standing authoritarian regimes fell from power as a result. Since then, however, Egypt has experienced a military coup, Libya is teetering on the brink of anarchy and momentum in the Syrian civil war seems to be shifting to the incumbent regime.
"Political, legal and social reform in the Arab world has reached a critical moment," Fox said. "There seem to be good reasons to agree with both optimists and pessimists about the future of progressive change. We know the questions the panel will address are of great concern to the Wayne community and to many outside the university in southeast Michigan."
Hamoudi has served as a legal advisor to the Finance Committee of the Iraq Governing Council and to the Constitutional Review Committee of the Iraqi legislature. His scholarship focuses on Middle Eastern and Islamic law, particularly as it pertains to commerce. Hamoudi is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Columbia Law School.
Masoud is a specialist on the Middle East and author of a forthcoming book on Islamic political parties. His research focuses on political development in poor, undemocratic countries. Masoud graduated from Brown University and earned his doctorate in political science from Yale University.
Tessler, a specialist on comparative politics and Middle East studies, has attended university and lived for extended periods in both the Arab world and Israel. He has studied and conducted field research in Tunisia, Israel, Morocco, Egypt and Palestine (West Bank and Gaza), and co-directs the Arab Barometer Survey project. Tessler graduated from Case Western Reserve University and earned his doctorate in political science from Northwestern University.

About David Leventi
Though David Leventi photographs empty architectural interiors and exteriors, his eye for both meticulous detail and sweeping composition transforms his works into deeply moving portraits of spatial experiences. He pursues vertical and lateral symmetry, which paradoxically creates a flattening of the image and yet gives the viewer the sensation of being enveloped by his photographs' subjects. Leventi works in series. For "Bjoerling's Larynx: World Famous Opera Houses" (2007-10), he extensively documented the interiors of world famous opera houses; he took each photograph at center stage exactly where a performer would stand, attempting to allow light to move through his photographs the way a performer's voice moves through the space, as in Royal Swedish Opera, Stockholm, Sweden (2008).

Rochester competition aims to jumpstart business startupsBy JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
December 30. 2012 9:05PM
ROCHESTER - The city is teaming up with a Manchester-based nonprofit mentoring firm to encourage new innovations to arise and inspire the community.
Throughout January, Rochester's Economic Development Department and the abi Innovation Hub, located at 844 Elm St. in Manchester, will start collecting applications for the first Start Up Business Competition.
Applications will be accepted between Jan. 1 and 31.
"We wanted to do some incubation project for some time," said Karen Pollard, deputy city manager and director of economic development.
Pollard said Mary Ellen Humphrey, the city's economic development specialist, met with abi's CEO Jamie Coughlin during a previous event. As a result of their impressive history of helping other companies in the Manchester area, she added, they decided to hold a similar contest in Rochester.
The abi Innovation Hub is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that aims to attract, mentor and foster growth and success of technology startups and innovative companies, according to their website. This competition, which is open to high-technology focused businesses, serves as a conduit to identify startup companies in the city while providing all contestants exposure for potential venture investors and customers, Pollard said.
The competition is open to for-profit, technology-focused businesses which were not formed more than five years before Jan. 31, have not raised more than $100,000 in funding from unaffiliated parties or have not had revenues exceeding $100,000 annually, according to a release by the city.
"We're actually looking for great ideas which will turn into businesses," Pollard said, adding the city hopes to identify people and companies that have a new way to use an existing technology or have an new innovative idea.
The winning business, which will be named during an event Feb. 13, will receive $10,000 worth of assistance, which could include advice on potential locations, advertisements and mentoring. "It really depends on what they (contestants) want to do," Pollard said, adding all applicants must submit a five-page business summary as part of the process.
Summaries should include information about the company, the demonstrated need of the product or service, size of the market, competition, pricing and how the contest will help move things forward. Following the competition, qualified applicants may be invited to participate in a startup accelerator program where they will receive expert advice and access to resources to help them grown their business, according to the release.
While there are no guarantees, Pollard said there are several successful businesses that started in Rochester, including Technoweave, which led to Albany International Corp.; Spectex LLC; Phase 2 Medical Device Manufacturing; and Laars Heating Systems Co.
Pollard said the city has many potential sites for businesses to start up and grow - both in the downtown and around the community.
"We anticipate to do this multiple times," Pollard said, adding the competition will only get better and more profitable for contestants and the community as time goes on. Pollard said there has already been a lot of interest in the completion, and several companies have requested application forms from the Economic Development Office - which is in the Rochester Community Center.
There is no application fee and applicants do not have to be a Rochester resident.
Applications are also available online at abihub.org or thinkrochester.biz.

The number of teams that are one game ahead of Cleveland in the chase for the second wild-card spot will be reduced if the Browns beat Jacksonville and improve to 5-7.
The number of teams that are one game ahead of Cleveland in the chase for the second wild-card spot will be reduced if the Browns beat Jacksonville and improve to 5-7.
Among the teams tied for that second wild-card spot at 5-6, the Steelers and Ravens face each other Thursday, while the Jets and Dolphins play each other Sunday. Two of them will be 6-6; two will be 5-7 (barring ties).
Beating Jacksonville would pull the Browns even with:
• San Diego, if the narrowly favored Chargers lose at home Sunday to Cincinnati.
• Tennessee, if the 41⁄2-point underdog Titans lose Sunday at Indianapolis.
It is conceivable, then, that the Browns could be one spot out of a tie for a wild-card spot, trailing only two teams, with four games to play.
It is less conceivable that the Browns could win at New England the following week.
Expansion wasn't so painful
Whereas no Browns head coach has been anywhere close to .500 in Cleveland's expansion era, Jacksonville got a 72-64 record out of the coach who launched that franchise, Tom Coughlin, and a 69-73 record out of his successor Jack Del Rio.
Del Rio was fired during the 2011 season, shortly after a 20-14 loss at Cleveland, and replaced on an interim basis by former Browns assistant Mel Tucker.
Mike Mularkey was brought in last year but swiftly got the boot after a 2-14 finish. Gus Bradley, a former Jon Gruden assistant in Tampa Bay, got off to an 0-8 start as the new head coach. His team has won two of its last three games.
Bradley, 47, was Seattle's defensive coordinator last year. At 2-9, Bradley is trying to form a culture.
"If everybody on our team plays to the best of their ability, that's even better than winning," he said this week. "It's even higher than winning."
Shorts and Garcon
Former Mount Union star Cecil Shorts has proved he belongs in the NFL. In his third year with the Jaguars, he has caught 58 passes for 700 yards.
His former Mount Union teammate, Pierre Garcon, has caught 75 passes for 919 yards for Washington.
It can be argued the Browns missed the boat on both of them.
The Jaguars snagged Shorts in the fourth round in 2011, at No. 114 overall. He has been a much bigger producer the last two years than the Browns' Greg Little, who was a No. 59 overall pick in the same draft.
Garcon was a No. 205 overall pick in 2008 (Colts), going 14 spots after the Browns picked wideout Paul Hubbard. Hubbard has been out of the NFL since 2010.
n Shorts had eight catches for 71 yards in Jacksonville's 13-6 win at Houston Sunday.
Michigan Week-plus
• In noting that this is Michigan week for the Browns, don't forget Denard Robinson.
The Jacksonville quarterback the Browns will oppose is former Wolverine Chad Henne. Also on the roster, as an extra running back, is former Michigan QB Robinson.
On the other hand, the Jaguars have forgotten Robinson recently. In the first nine games, he got 15 carries. In the last two, he has had none.
• Henne's last home game in college is no favorite memory, for him. On Nov. 17, 2007, he went 11-of-34 for 68 yards in a 14-3 loss to Ohio State.
On Nov. 18, 2006, he passed for 267 yards, but No. 2 Michigan lost to No. 1 Ohio State 42-39.
• The Browns take on another former Michigan quarterback next week in New England's Tom Brady.
On Nov. 21, 1998, Brady attempted a school-record 56 passes in a 31-16 loss at Ohio State. Brady beat the Buckeyes 24-17 a year later in Ann Arbor.
Extra points
• Jacksonville's season bottomed out in early October after the Jaguars traded 2009 Round 1 pick Eugene Monroe to Baltimore so rookie No. 2 overall pick Luke Joeckel could play left tackle.
Joeckel broke an ankle in the first quarter of the first game after the trade. He is on injured reserve.
Cameron Bradfield, undrafted out of Grand Valley State in 2011, is the left tackle now.
• 2007 was the last winning season for both the Browns (10-6) and Jaguars (11-5).
Jacksonville won 31-29 at Pittsburgh in the first round of the playoffs and lost 31-20 at New England in the next round.
• CBS (WOIO Channel 19) has assigned Kevin Harland and Solomon Wilcots to Sunday's Jaguars-Browns telecast.

Don't miss out, Memorial grads toldBy BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 15. 2013 8:56PM
MANCHESTER — Bidding farewell to the past and looking ahead to their futures, more than 460 graduates of Manchester Memorial High School received their high school diplomas Saturday.
The graduation ceremony was the first for high school Principal Arthur Adamakos since undergoing a sextuple heart bypass operation more than a year ago.
Adamakos freely admitted playing the guilt card to persuade a nervous Kaylee Oberlies to put aside her fear of public speaking and deliver the salutatory address to the Class of 2013.
"I said, 'Mr. A., I'm really not feeling it' ... and his response to me was, 'I nearly died last year. I came back from the dead to hear you speak.' So he guilted me into it," she said.
Oberlies said her conversations with Adamakos helped her realize that missing the opportunity to speak because she was nervous or afraid would mean missing an important part of her high school experience.
"And that's what I want to say to all of you today," Oberlies said. "We all came into Memorial as little freshmen who had no idea what to expect of high school, we didn't know who we were or who we would become or who we even wanted to be, and Memorial changed that."
Class president Andrew Provencher reminded classmates to remember always the bonds of their high school years.
"We will grow up to become doctors, mechanics, waiters, actors, sergeants in armed forces, and many other things," he said. "We will forever be Memorial Crusaders and members of the Class of 2013."
Valedictorian Jacob Pantazis exhorted classmates to retain their independence and keep goals "created and maintained entirely by you," he said.
During his remarks to the graduates, Mayor Ted Gatsas asked members of the class who are going to serve in the military to stand; about a half-dozen students rose and were given a prolonged ovation.
As the graduates prepared to enter a new phase of life, they took with them the words of Oberlies, their reluctant salutatorian.
"Don't worry too much about the future, and don't dwell too much on the past," she said. "Live in the present, and don't let anything pass you by because you weren't paying attention."

When Tanya Overstreet purchased a home brewing kit for husband Brandon's birthday about 10 years ago, she couldn't have imagined that the hobby would evolve into the family business.
With its first official batch of handcrafted brew going into fermentation this week, newly founded Swing Tree Brewing Co. plans to win over thirsty Ashlanders one pint at time, the Overstreets say.
"We just want to be Ashland's small, friendly, neighborhood pub and brewery," says 34-year-old Brandon, who gave up an engineering career to craft beer.
Set to open near the end of October, the tap house and brewery is nestled just inside the entrance to Hersey Street Business Park at 300 E. Hersey No. 7.
"We don't ever want to be a big brewery like Caldera or Deschutes," says Brandon, the lone brewer at Swing Tree. "Our little town of Ashland I think can really support a thriving beer scene ... we want to be a part of that."
Running off a half-barrel brewing system, Swing Tree can pump out about 240 pints of beer per week, Brandon says. By comparison, Ashland's Caldera Brewing Co. can fill more than 70,000 12-ounce cans in one day at its 30-barrel brewery.
Swing Tree's 15-gallon pilot system feeds two 20-gallon fermenters, and that's all for now. The home brew kit Brandon received for his birthday is stowed away on a high shelf nearby.
After opening, Swing Tree's next upgrade will be a full-fledged seven-barrel system, says Brandon, whose seven years as a professional brewer have included Golden City Brewery in Golden, Twisted Pine Brewery in Boulder, and Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery in Westminster, Colo., where he was head brewer.
"We just want to make enough money to support our family and enough beer for the thirsty people," says Tanya, who grew up in Ashland. "It's important that we grow, but we're glad to start small.
"We want people to remember when we had our half-barrel system."
The Overstreets, who have two children, met in Ashland and married before moving to Colorado, where Brandon, originally from Coos Bay, earned a degree in engineering from the University of Colorado.
"I started my career straight out of college ... I could not stand my life, all I could think about was beer," he says. "I think it's romantic."
The brewery won't serve house-made meals at first, Tanya says, but plans to have a cold case of sandwiches and other items, options for customers to order delivery from different restaurants in Ashland, and maybe a food cart or two.
"We won't let people go hungry," she says. "The end goal is to be a little brewpub and make our own food off a seasonal, organic menu."
Right now, it's strictly beer, and Swing Tree has four options: Porch Swing Pale, "an easy-to-drink American pale ale"; Obligatory IPA, "a big beer, hopped to the gills"; Lonely Trike Red Ale, "a little more malty"; and Two Shilling Brown Ale, "complex, fruity, rich in flavor ... and carbonated a little lighter," Brandon says. No lagers until the brewery gets an upgrade, he adds.
All of those beers will be on tap at the brewery, as will one other selection from another "nano brewery" in Southern Oregon, he says.
"We're taking it one pint at a time," Brandon says.
For more information and updates, see the brewery's Facebook page or swingtreebrewing.com.

LEXINGTON, Va. — The Washington and Lee baseball team gave up 17 runs en route to being swept by Guilford in a doubleheader on Saturday at Cap'n Dick Smith Field.
The Generals (9-6, 2-4 ODAC) committed four errors, allowing 11 combined runs in the eighth and ninth innings to drop the opener, 13-5. The Quakers' (10-9, 4-2 ODAC) Drew Crawford (Newport, Tenn./Cocke County) pitched eight innings, while giving up just two runs, to lead Guilford to a 4-2 victory in game two.
In the first game, the teams were tied, 2-2, through six innings. W&L broke the deadlock in the bottom of the seventh. Senior first baseman Josh Josephson (Boca Raton, Fla./American Heritage) singled to open the frame, and senior designated hitter Kyle Witty (Richmond, Va./Douglas Freeman) followed with a single to put two on with no outs. A sacrifice bunt by junior second baseman Nick Biumi (Cummings, Ga./Lambert) gave the Blue and White two runners in scoring position with just one out.
With senior center fielder Keegan Dolan (Bethesda, Md./Landon) at the plate, Josephson scored on a wild pitch to give the Generals a 3-2 lead. Senior pitcher Borja Jones-Berasaluce (Newton, Mass./Newton North) would get out of the inning without giving up any more runs by recording a strikeout and a pop out to first.
In the top of the eighth, the W&L defense committed three errors, which allowed Guilford to capitalize with five unearned runs to take a 7-3 lead. The Quakers extended the advantage in the ninth with six more runs (13-3) on just two hits. In the inning, the Generals walked three batters and committed their fourth error of the game. The Blue and White would score two runs in the bottom of the ninth to reach the final margin.
Witty just missed hitting for the cycle for the first time in his career. He recorded a single, a double and a triple in his first three at bats, and in his final plate appearance, he hit a double into left center, which hit halfway up the wall next to the 370 marker. For the game, he went 4-for-4 with one a RBI and a run scored.
Junior Andrew Lamb (Lexington, S.C./Hammond) took the loss for W&L to fall to 0-1. He pitched the entire eighth inning, and then came back out for the ninth. He put four runners on in the frame without recording an out before being pulled. He finished with 1.0 inning pitched, allowing nine runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk.
Jone-Berasaluce (2-2) earned the victory, throwing 7.0 innings. He gave up three runs (two earned) on eight hits with three strikeouts.
In the second game, the Generals took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first on a RBI single by sophomore right fielder Luke Myer (Durham, N.C./Durham Academy). The Quakers tied the game in the top of the second on a homer by senior shortstop Michael Whited (Greensboro, N.C./Ragsdale).
Guilford took a 3-1 lead in the top of the fifth on a one-run single by first-year right fielder Tyler Petersen (Wake Forest, N.C./Providence) and a RBI single to left center by sophomore designated hitter Nathan Fulbright (Salisbury, N.C./East Rowan). The Quakers stretched the lead to 4-1 on another RBI single by Petersen.
Dolan cut the advantage to 4-2 on a home run to center field in the bottom of the eighth. It marked his fifth homer of the year.
Facing reliever Justin Morrison (High Point, N.C./High Point Christian) in the bottom of the ninth, the Generals had runners on first and second with one out. Josephson hit an infielder fly to second for the second out, but then junior left fielder Drew Weprinsky (Atlanta, Ga./Westminster) was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Pinch hitter Riley Stout (Glen Allen, Va./Deep Run) grounded out to first to end the game.
Crawford (2-2) threw 8.0 innings for the Quakers, allowing just two runs on six hits, while striking out three. Morrison recorded his second save of the season.
First-year Tom Concklin (Hinsdale, Ill./Hinsdale Central) suffered his first defeat to fall to 1-1. He pitched 5.0 innings and gave up three runs on six hits while striking out three. The home run in the second inning was the first run he gave up in his collegiate career. He began the season without allowing a run in 11.2 innings.
The Generals next play at Bridgewater on Tuesday at 4:00 pm.
