NASHVILLE, TN. – This summer, Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art will host an exhibition entitled Andy Warhol's Flowers, featuring nearly a dozen screen prints from the original Flowers series as well as paintings, studio photographs, and the artist's audacious floral proposal for the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. The exhibition, presented by Gullett, Sanford, Robinson & Martin, PLLC, opens June 14 and will be on display through September 7.
"We are honored to host this exhibition of Andy Warhol's Flowers at Cheekwood," said Jane O. MacLeod, President and CEO. "Not only is this an opportunity to view some of Warhol's most beautiful and rarely seen work, it's a chance to view it in relationship with the floral abundance of our gardens. Our natural setting provides a dimension to this exhibition that will truly enrich the visitor's experience with both art and nature, and that's exactly what we're here to do."
Fifty years ago, during the summer of 1964, Andy Warhol was reeling from a series of temporary setbacks: a poorly received film, a destroyed mural, and controversy over the artistic merits of his grocery store product images, including the now-iconic Campbell's Soup cans. At the suggestion of Henry Geldzahler, curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Warhol began work on a series of silkscreened flowers that would eventually total 900 boldly colored paintings ranging in size from 5-inch square to 7 x 13 feet. Inspired by a photo of a hibiscus flower in Modern Photography magazine, the Flowers series became Warhol's first solo exhibition at the prestigious Leo Castelli Gallery in New York, where every painting in the collection sold. The original exhibition was not only a stunning collection of Warhol's work, but an expression of the nature of pop art itself: transforming something commonplace—like a flower– into art.
Warhol's flower imagery reveals a softer, more intimate side of an artist best known for his bold pop imagery and searing commentary on art and popular culture. Many consider these images to be Warhol's quietest and most beautiful work; it's also the least studied. Flowers are the only subject that Warhol revisited throughout his entire career and in almost every medium. The Flowers exhibition is a unique opportunity to trace the progression of Warhol's work through the entire span of his career, from delicate early illustrations in the 1950s to the bold prints of the 1964 series, ending with the tension between beauty and banality in his final photographs and prints before his death in 1986.
In addition to the exhibition itself, Cheekwood will host a special Lunch and Lecture event featuring speaker Vivien Fryd from the Department of Art History at Vanderbilt University. Fryd's talk will explore Andy Warhol's background and examine the ways his closeted sexuality is both absent and present in his flowers, comics and other subjects. A guided tour of Andy Warhol's Flowers will follow the lecture, scheduled for Thursday, July 17 at noon. A registration fee of $25 for non-members and $15 for members includes lunch and gate admission; visitors should call 615-353-9827 to register.
In addition, Cheekwood will offer guided tours of Andy Warhol's Flowers Saturdays at 1:30 pm for the duration the exhibition, running from June 14 – September 7, 2014.

Skip to comments.Google to enlist NSA to help it ward off cyberattacks (BS! Google records, pass to NSA)
Posted on 02/04/2010 10:16:44 AM PST by max americana
The world's largest Internet search company and the world's most powerful electronic surveillance organization are teaming up in the name of cybersecurity.
Under an agreement that is being finalized, the National Security Agency would help Google analyze a major corporate espionage attack that the firm said originated in China and targeted its computer networks, according to cybersecurity experts familiar with the matter. The objective is to better defend Google -- and its users -- from future attack.
Google and the NSA declined to comment on the partnership. But sources with knowledge of the arrangement, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the alliance is being designed to allow the two organizations to share critical information without violating Google's policies or laws that protect the privacy of Americans' online communications. The sources said the deal does not mean the NSA will be viewing users' searches or e-mail accounts or that Google will be sharing proprietary data.
The partnership strikes at the core of one of the most sensitive issues for the government and private industry in the evolving world of cybersecurity: how to balance privacy and national security interests. On Tuesday, Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair called the Google attacks, which the company acknowledged in January, a "wake-up call." Cyberspace cannot be protected, he said, without a "collaborative effort that incorporates both the U.S. private sector and our international partners."
But achieving collaboration is not easy, in part because private companies do not trust the government to keep their secrets and in part because of concerns that collaboration can lead to continuous government monitoring of private communications. Privacy advocates, concerned about a repeat of the NSA's warrantless interception of Americans' phone calls and e-mails after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, say information-sharing must be limited and closely overseen.

How is Bing? Microsoft any better in terms of privacy/left-wing causes?
lulz, Jack Squat has recently REDUCED intelligence and counterintelligence efforts against the main culprit: China.
Given the sheer amount of money Google makes/has, they can certainly buy better protection from sources other than the NSA? lulz.
must, absolutely MUST, erase the thought of the dreaded "G" from my typing fingers AND vocabulary when speaking to others about 'searching'....run by a bunch of leftists who are secretly collecting all sorts of information and now passing it to our shadow government...
Whether or not you trust the NSA, they have worked with Microsoft, Apple and even Red Hat to strengthen their software against attack. The NSA has been one of the driving forces behind SE-Linux.
Go (Gov) + Ogle=("to eye or stare at") = Google
Use Dogpile.com or is it Scrugogle. What others?
http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm....this one...they don't follow you....supposedly....
I've been using Bing since it was introduced. I like it. The only downside is that search results for gun shopping online aren't as complete as Google. Otherwise, it's been good.
Stasi. KGB.
Maybe my tin foil is on too tight... Then again, maybe not.
For me at least, Bing sucks because I rarely get useful results back. Maybe I'm just not stringing my queries correctly.
Scroogle.org and IXQuick.com should be everyone's choices, due to privacy concerns.
Dogpile still passes all of your information on to Google. If you want a metasearch engine that doesn't pass any IP address with the query against the other engines, use IXquick. It doesn't hit against Google, but does hit against what you choose, including Bing and Yahoo.
And IXQuick is independently audited to assure privacy.
Given the sheer amount of money Google makes/has, they can certainly buy better protection from sources other than the NSA? lulz.
NSA's main biz is electronic espionage. My bet is they've got some of the best folks for it in the world.
You can try Ixquick/Starpage. No records of your searches.
And yet, the NSA still has problems preventing Chinese-oriented hacking.....
Why wouldn't they have problems stopping Chinese hackers? Chinese aren't stupid and they've got programmers working in intelligence.
This is not solely a matter of the Chinese intel having good hackers, etc. The real root of the issue here involving China and Chinese-oriented hacking and cyberattacks is that this Jack Squat administration has downgraded China from being the foremost primary intelligence collection AND counterintelligence concern or priority to being merely a second level concern or prioirty.
The above is about as idiotic as this same Jack Squat administration utilizing US intelligence assets—the same assets that could be utilized to further bolster our counterterrorism (international and domestic) efforts—to watch ice melt and trees grow and 'fight' global warming.
I don't doubt it. There's been something about Dem administrations and not seeing China as a potential threat. Clinton was the same.

Questions and Answers
What are Field Experiences?
Field Experiences the term used to describe the time that a student spend working in the field. Placements are arranged through the Coordinator of Clinical Experiences. During this time students are able to observe and participate in an educational setting. This is the beginning of the networking process.
When do I interview for a position?
Local school systems come to Virginia Wesleyan's campus to conduct interviews in the fall and spring of each school year. At this time they will interview any student that is currently student teaching. It is very important that students take advantage of this opportunity. More information can be provided about this through the career services department on campus.
What is the student teaching experience?
The student teaching experience lasts for a full semester. During this time the student moves from observer to teacher. At the end of each experience, the preservice teacher should be in complete charge of the classroom teaching all lessons and handling all classroom management. The preservice teacher is required to write lesson plans, grade papers, record grades, collect and analyze assessment data. At the end of the semester the successful preservice teacher is ready to manage a classroom of his/her own. Preservice teaching is a full time job. It is recommended that student teachers not hold jobs during this semester.
How is student teaching graded?
Virginia Wesleyan University requires two placements in the student teaching experience and in each placement the student is given a letter grade. The grade is based on the evaluations from the college supervisor, cooperating teacher, the school administrator, and the college seminar instructor.

PS 130, located at 200-01 42nd Avenue in Bayside, currently serves mainly District 25 students. The school, however, is geographically in District 26 and historically was a K-6 and K-8 school for students living on the Auburndale/Bayside border.
Through political manipulation, the school was closed to local children, and after several incarnations, became what it is today. Many of the students are bused in from other District 25 areas, while the local children are bused to overcrowded District 26 schools.
This makes no sense considering the effect on students' education and the prohibitive cost of busing children. Children living across or down the street from PS 130 cannot readily attend their neighborhood school, a school that they could get to by walking.
The Auburndale Improvement Association is circulating a petition calling for the return of PS 130 to neighborhood children. We realize that the education of the students currently attending the school must not be disrupted, and the changeover would have to be gradual.
We also feel that the program at the school for special needs students should stay, because we believe that there would still be sufficient room for local children on the upper floors of the building.
Likewise, the present controversy as to where to site a new elementary school in District 26 may be moot or at least it may place emphasis on siting a new school elsewhere in District 26, or in District 25, at an appropriate place agreeable to the community.

First Vice President

algorithmic modeling for Rhino
I am new to Grasshopper.
I was trying to link a couple of points which are connected via Proximity 2D which creates the links in between the points, which I am going to input into Shortest Walk component.
I understand that the Proximity 2D gives output as a number of lines which overlap and behave like a curve(?). I tried to use the removeDuplicateLines from the Kangaroo components.
However it doesn't seem to be working.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Brown/Trinity's 'Tango' is frightening allegory
Once again the Brown/Trinity Rep MFA students have taken on a difficult, mind-boggling play, turning it into a tour de force that will challenge your thoughts and senses.
Polish playwright Slawomir Mrozek's "Tango" is a dark, often funny, often disturbing look at power through the eyes of what we now call a "dysfunctional family."
The bohemian rebels are living a carefree life of freedom where anything goes, including a young guest sleeping with his host's wife. Enter Arthur, the youngest son (Will Austin) who is determined to get the situation under control.
Probably meant as a metaphor for Poland after World War II, when Stalin was in power, the play concentrates on the clashes between anarchy and controlling power and is still very much relevant today.
Mrozek has created some bizarre characters, including a senile grandmother, confused father and mother, conniving uncle and sexually free young lady.
Tilly Grimes' set is lined on three sides with chairs for the audience, who are made to feel like they are part of the large room where all the action takes place.
The play begins with a narrator describing the characters, the set, the clothing and the circumstances. Strangely, the author describes Eddie, the controlling guest, as fat and slovenly, but Charlie Thurston is anything but.
Arthur is disgusted with what has happened to his family and sets out to change things, aided by a kiss-butt uncle. He proposes marriage to Ala in a long scene at the end of the first act, promising to use the event as the beginning of complete change.
Act II begins with the attempt to "clean up" the family and its surroundings in preparation for the wedding ceremony.
Things get pretty heavy in an allegorical sense, leading to a struggle for power, resistance to change, and a final violent struggle that ends in chaos and death, as two characters dance the tango.
It is a dark, strange play, filled with cryptic moments, surprises and absurdity. Lovers of challenging, thought-provoking theatre should relish it. As always, the MFA students, both on stage and behind the scenes, show incredible talent.
Tickets are only $12, $6 for students and seniors. Performances are through May 13 at the Pell Chafee Performance Center, 87 Empire St, around the block from Trinity. Call 351-4242 for reservations. Limited seating.

Australia to issue passports for males, females and... X
X marks the spot in anti-discrimination effort
Australians will be allowed to mark X as their gender on passports in a move to help curb discrimination against transgendered and intersex people.
Although gay marriage remains outlawed in Down Under, its government has taken uncharacteristically liberal steps so that individuals can declare their preferred gender when applying for a passport.
Intersex people - those who are not exclusively male or female biologically - will be able to list their gender on passports as X.
And although transgendered people - whose perception of their own sex is at odds with their biology - will be able to pick whether they are male or female if their choice is supported by a doctor's statement, they will not be able pick X.
Previously, sex reassignment surgery was required for transgendered people to apply for a passport in their preferred gender. The US also dropped the surgery prerequisite for transgendered people's passports last year.
"Sex and gender-diverse people now have the option of presenting a statement from a medical practitioner supporting their preferred gender," said Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd.
"This amendment makes life easier and significantly reduces the administrative burden for sex and gender-diverse people who want a passport that reflects their gender and physical appearance," he added.
Any country that has come into line with the International Civil Aviation Organization's specifications for machine-readable passports can choose to introduce X as a gender. ®

The June 12 letter "Remember D-Day" by James R. Masters struck a high note with me. I remembered and flew my Stars and Stripes proudly that day.
While stationed at SHAPE Headquarters in Paris, I was privileged to tour Omaha Beach in 1953, nine years after D-Day, with a master sergeant who was dropped behind Nazi lines by glider aircraft. He told how they communicated to locate American soldiers with Halloween clicker "crickets" so the Nazis who might hear wouldn't know and locate them.
In a snapshot, two friends and I are standing in front of a highly reinforced concrete bunker still harboring a decommissioned Nazi 88 mm artillery gun aimed up the beach as a personnel killer. Nearly as far as the eye could see there were still sunken boats partially protruding from English Channel waters.
As a young airman, I was awe-struck thinking of how many young men's lives, American and German, were ended there in those terrible days fighting for freedom. The ground on which I stood had been saturated with blood and exploded human body parts, of which I suppose minute particles still remain even now mixed in those beach sands.
The American cemetery there was under construction and we couldn't tour that. Those memories will be with me always.
Yes, Mr. Masters, thank you. I remembered.

Is the "-que" enclitic commonly used for anything except joining noun lists? The reason I ask is that in D'Ooge (and Wheelock, IIRC) I don't recall seeing any other use for it. E.g., Curo feminae liberique.
But in Lingua Latina, Hans Orberg uses "-que" to join sentence clauses. I was wondering if anyone here could provide some guidance on how to best use this little caboose.

When I am reciting surahs during prayer sometimes I make a mistake or forget because Im not concentrating, then I say 'AstighfirAllah three times and then start the surah again or start the verse again. Is this correct? Or should I start a new surah?.
If a person forgets something in his recitation or makes a mistake in it whilst praying, if it is in al-Faatihah then he has to correct his recitation, because there is no prayer for the one who does not recite it (al-Faatihah). If he forgets something or makes a mistake in it that changes the meaning, his prayer is not valid until he corrects it.
If the mistake is not in al-Faatihah, then his prayer is valid, because recitation after al-Faatihah is Sunnah and is not obligatory.
The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas stated:
If a person forgets the soorah after al-Faatihah, he does not have to do anything further, whether he is leading the prayer, praying behind an imam or praying on his own, and whether the prayer is obligatory or naafil. This is according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions. End quote.
Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, 7/146
If a person makes a mistake when reciting the soorah or he forgets anything of it, it is not prescribed for him to say istighfaar (ask for forgiveness); rather he should try to correct the mistake and remember what he forgot, but if he cannot do that then he may move on to the verse that comes after it, or he may leave this soorah and start reciting another, or he may bow. If he does any of these things, there is nothing wrong with that.
The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas stated:
If the worshipper becomes confused when reciting a verse and he cannot remember it, there is no reason why he cannot recite the following verse, but it is prescribed for him not to recite in prayer anything but that which he has memorised well, so that he will not get confused a great deal. End quote.
Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, 5/337
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
If the imam recites in prayer what he can of the Qur'aan, then he forgets the end of the verse, and none of the worshippers behind him knows it, so they cannot prompt him, should he say takbeer and bow, or should he recite another soorah?
He replied:
He has the choice: if he wishes he may end the recitation and say takbeer or if he wishes he may recite a verse or verses from another soorah, so long as that is not in al-Faatihah. In the case of al-Faatihah, it is essential to recite it in full, because reciting it is one of the pillars or essential parts of the prayer. End quote.
Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn Baaz, 12/129
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
If I am praying on my own and I make a mistake in the recitation of the verse, and I am not able to complete it and I am confusing it with another verse, what should I do when I am praying?
He replied: You can do one of two things: you can either move on to the verse that follows it, or you can bow, because the matter in this case is broad in scope. End quote.
Fataawa Noor 'ala al-Darb by Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 24/141
And Allah knows best.

2009 Grants - Leznick
Role of SUMOylation in Alzheimer's Diseases
Elena Leznick, Ph.D.
Columbia University Medical Center
New York, New York
2009 New Investigator Research Grant
After proteins are made inside cells, they are often modified by the attachment of large organic molecules. This process is an important way for the cell to control a protein's function and location. One type of modification is called SUMOylation (SUMO is an acronym for small ubiquitin-like modifiers). SUMOylation of proteins serves a number of important cellular functions, and there is evidence that it plays a role in some cellular models of learning and memory.
Beta-amyloid is a protein fragment that aggregates into clusters that are toxic to nerve cells. Beta-amyloid also blocks some forms of plasticity in the brain that are important for learning and memory. Elena Leznick, Ph.D. and colleagues have found that stimulation of SUMOylation can reverse this detrimental effect of beta-amyloid.
The researchers plan to perform more detailed studies of the role of SUMOylation using mice that have been genetically altered to express Alzheimer-like pathology. They will study whether stimulation of SUMOylation in these animals can reverse some of the detrimental effects of Alzheimer-like pathology on brain plasticity and memory. The researchers will also examine biochemical changes occurring during disease progression and whether SUMOylation plays a role in those changes. These studies will advance our understanding of biochemical mechanisms leading to dysfunction of nerve cells in Alzheimer's disease.

The puzzle is a brightly coloured 35 piece tray puzzle with pieces large and thick enough to be easy to handle but not so large that they don't look like jigsaw pieces. The pieces fit together in a tray that has a grey image of the puzzle printed on it and each piece outlined to show its placement, but the real magic is in the colour sequencing.
The puzzle pieces come pre-sorted into groups according to their placement on the puzzle – top, side, bottom, etc. Each group of pieces is presented to the person individually. By following the coloured clues on the tray and the sequence of steps in the instructions, the person is guided to successfully place the pieces without help. This is repeated for each group until the puzzle is complete. Because the person is generally able to select and place the pieces on their own, they have a great feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment (often accompanied by a big smile).
As the person becomes more proficient, more than one group can be presented at once, making the activity more challenging.
Included in the package is a laminated sheet showing the finished puzzle in full colour to use as a guide. Not only are these puzzles colourful and fun to do, they are great conversation starters when selected to match the interests of the person. Because no extra information is required, this puzzle does not include a laminated key guide.
Package Includes: 35 piece sequenced tray puzzle measuring 14" x 10", laminated full colour picture showing completed puzzle and full instructions conveniently packaged in a zippered envelope.
Suitable For: A great activity for people with dementia or Alzheimer's who always liked jigsaw puzzles but now find standard puzzles too challenging. Also great for people with more abilities looking for a new and fun pastime.

Marlins overpowered on mound, at plate vs. Cubs
CHICAGO -- Randy Wolf on Saturday afternoon gave the Marlins pretty much what they wanted -- a fighting chance against an opposing ace.

CHICAGO -- Randy Wolf on Saturday afternoon gave the Marlins pretty much what they wanted -- a fighting chance against an opposing ace.
But when matched against arguably the best right-hander in the National League this season, Jeff Samardzija, Miami came up a little short.View Full Game Coverage
Wolf surrendered a two-run homer to Emilio Bonifacio and a solo shot to Junior Lake, who went deep twice on the day, which provided enough power for the Cubs to defeat the Marlins, 5-2, at Wrigley Field.
Lake's second shot came off Chris Hatcher in the seventh inning, providing more cushion for the Cubs to extend their winning streak to five.
Not overpowering, Wolf's at his best when he works the corners. Having to be precise, the lefty was just a little off.
"He didn't get a whole lot on the edges today," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "He's a guy who kind of relies on the edges. They made him throw it over the plate and got some big hits.
"But we were quiet offensively, too. Two back-to-back games, we were pretty quiet. Coming from Tampa where we were really swinging the bats well in that series, we've cooled off a little bit. We've got to get that going."
After taking two straight at Tampa Bay to open the road trip, the Marlins now have combined to score five runs in 22 innings at Wrigley Field. They lost, 5-3, in 13 innings on Friday.
Christian Yelich had two hits, including a home run off Samardzija, but the Marlins weren't able to mount much else.
"It happens. It's baseball," Yelich said. "We're not going to score eight, nine runs every day, as nice as that would be. We are capable of doing that on certain days. Other days it's not going to happen."
Samardzija allowed two runs in seven innings and struck out eight. Miami, meanwhile, will look to avoid being swept in the series finale on Sunday.
Wolf gave a game effort, allowing four runs in 5 2/3 innings while throwing 109 pitches. The 37-year-old, who missed all of last year due to his second Tommy John surgery, had his highest pitch count since posting 112 while with Milwaukee against Miami on July 4, 2012.
"I felt fine," Wolf said. "We're kind of on an unusual schedule these next two weeks. Have two days off in four days. I don't know what's going to happen with the rotation with these days off coming up. But I'm kind of a feel guy, so the more I'm out there, usually, the better I feel."
The Marlins are off on Monday and Thursday next week, creating uncertainty about when Wolf will make his next start. Miami also may be tinkering with its rotation if top prospect Andrew Heaney is promoted from Triple-A New Orleans during the series against the Pirates next weekend at Marlins Park.
Bonifacio, a former Marlin, has just 11 career homers. But his first of the season was a big one, because it gave Chicago a lead it wouldn't relinquish.
"There were times where my ball just came over and got too much of the plate," Wolf said. "With Bonifacio, I was trying to go away. I threw a fastball right down the middle. To Lake, I got him in another hitter's count. I kind of got my changeup up there. He's a guy with a lot of power, and if you make a mistake like that, he will punish you.
"To me, those are the mistakes that hurt me, throwing the ball over the plate like that. It's my job to do a better job of getting the ball on the corner instead of the heart of the plate."
Yelich gave the Marlins a short-lived lead with a home run with one out in the third inning. It was the 22-year-old's sixth shot, and his first since May 16 at San Francisco.
In his 18 games between homers, Yelich had his share of struggles at the plate, batting .169 (12-for-71) in the stretch. The left fielder had one hit in 17 at-bats in his previous five games.
Against Samardzija on Saturday, Yelich showed signs of turning things around. He singled to lead off the game and delivered his home run to center.
"Yeli keeps battling," Redmond said. "He gives you good at bats. He's got power. You see it in there. It's just really a matter of time and consistency for him."
The Cubs responded quickly after the Yelich blast. Samardzija ripped a one-out single in the third and Bonifacio, with the count full, delivered the game-changing two-run shot.
"Any Major League hitter has the strength and ability to drive the ball out of the ballpark," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "You don't expect it out of Boni, because you don't look for him to get homers."
Miami closed the gap to 3-2 in the sixth inning on Casey McGehee's RBI groundout to first. Giancarlo Stanton, who doubled, raced home without a play. Stanton set up the run by taking third on Samardzija's wild pitch.
The Cubs added on a run in the fifth inning on Lake's two-out home run to center.

When the Global Gateway Alliance formed, it enlisted the membership of the Regional Plan Association, New York University and other NYC institutions. With access to such a wellspring of experts, engineers and researchers, I wonder how basic facts can continue to elude the Global Gateway Alliance and its executive director, Steven Sigmund.
In a recent news article regarding runway expansion at LaGuardia, Sigmund states: "...the NextGen plan to replace planes' GPS with satellite systems, will reduce delays on crowded runways and therefore decrease unnecessary noise from planes circling above them."
What planes circling above them? Holding patterns are conducted many miles from regional airports. There are only departures and arrivals in NYC airspace, no holding patterns. This is easily verifiable by logging on to the Port Authority web site, which tracks flights in real time.
Also, in an article in this paper, he recently stated the following: "In 2013, LaGuardia was the second most delayed airport in the country. The TNNIS climb is needed."
The TNNIS climb was in use for all of 2013. So why didn't it reduce the delays? Why was LaGuardia the second most delayed airport in the country in 2013, when the "needed" TNNIS climb had already been fully implemented in 2012?
The people of Queens whose health is now at risk because of NextGen pollution deserve a discourse consisting of valid and accurate information. Many of the Global Gateway Alliance's stated goals are agreeable and attainable. Our interests are not necessarily incongruous. However, we won't be lied to. We will not be misled. NextGen has been implemented mindlessly, and without regard for the health and well-being of thousands of Queens residents.
I believe it's time for the GGA to establish a dialogue with impacted communities in Queens, instead of advocating against them. Until then, we are not going away. We will continue to fight.

AUSTIN, Texas - UCSB women held on to eighth place and the men dropped back to ninth for the third and last day of the University of Texas Invitational at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center. Senior Pat Cary broke his own school record in the 200 fly and sophomore Kaitlin Freeman and senior Jen Schwalb both came very close to breaking their own school records as well.
Cary swam the school record breaking 200 fly in a time of 1:44.22, an automatic NCAA consideration time. Freeman swam the 200 breast in a time of 2:17.84 an NCAA consideration time, her school record is a 2:17.35. Senior Jen Schwalb took fifth in the 200 fly with a time of 2:00.49, an NCAA consideration time and just tenths of a second away from her own school record in that event.
Teammate Erin Yamamoto took 16th in the 200 fly with a time of 2:04.51. Chris Wiggin and Daniel McClary took 22nd and 23rd in that same event with times of 1:52.16 and 1:52.27, respectively. Chris Good took 14th in the 200 back, 1:48.66, a Senior National time. Brooks Felton closed out the meet in the distance events with the 1650 taking 13th and finishing with a time of 15:57.41. Nadia Dwidar shaved more than a second off her season best time in the 100 free, 51.58 taking 28th place overall. The men's 400 free relay took seventh, Vogelgesang, Matsumoto, Cary and Sullivan swam it in 3:00.81, a Senior National time standard. The women scored 10th in that event, DeMeulenaere, Lathers, May and Dwidar came in at 3:25.38, a Senior National Time as well.
Both the men's and women's teams will head home for finals and then be back on the road to Las Vegas on December 16, 2006 to swim at UNLV Winter Invitational.

On the same day that her husband, Jay-Z, performed at a rally for President Obama in Ohio, Beyonce posted a brief handwritten note to the president on her website Monday, calling him "the leader to take us from where we are to where we need to be."
PHOTOS: Celebrity presidential endorsements 2012
"Everyday we see your heart and character, inspiring all of us to give more of ourselves," wrote the pop star, who went on to describe Obama as "the reason my daughter and nephew will grow up knowing that they can truly be anything they want to be." She signed off with "all my respect and admiration."
Beyonce has been a vocal supporter of the president and Michelle Obama for years. In 2009, she famously serenaded the couple at an inaugural ball and later lent her vocal talent (and legwarmer collection) to the first lady's "Let's Move" campaign. In September, the singer and her husband hosted an Obama fundraiser at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club in New York.

Sexual and gender minorities call for protection of their rightsApr 23, 2014
The first-ever two-day national dialogue on the legal and social challenges facing, as well as the opportunities for, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people and organizations in Nepal closed today with a call to the government to decriminalize same-sex sexual activity in the law and urged greater protection of rights of sexual and gender minorities. The participants also called on the government and affiliated parties to enshrine the rights of sexual and gender minorities in the constitution.
Minister of Health and Population Mr. Khaga Raj Adhikari of the Ministry of Health and Population, expressed the government's commitment to addressing the concerns of the community. He pledged to do all he could, even at personal level, to advance for the rights of the LGBTI community. "The Nepal Government is committed towards LGBTI minority's issues, to address it in policy, regulations and at the constitutional level. On personal level, I have full support too."
US Ambassador to Nepal Peter W. Bodde encouraged community members to speak up against maltreatment.
"Your courage in speaking out about this maltreatment as well as the maltreatment of those around you is a testament to the courageous spirit of the LGBTI human rights activists here in Nepal. We hope many others join us in standing up for the rights of LGBT persons. We all deserve to live life with dignity, to pursue a life of happiness, and to have our human rights protected under the law," said Ambassador Bodde.
The National LGBTI Community Dialogue is supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Participants discussed the progress of the LGBT movement in Nepal as well as examined the difficulties faced by the community in areas such as laws, policies, education, health, employment, family affairs, media, and politics.
During the two-day dialogue, participants called on the government to allow sexual minorities to change their gender on the citizenship that have already been issued. The 2007 landmark ruling by Nepal's Supreme Court which recognized the third gender on citizenship documents is only available to individuals who have not previously applied for citizenship and those who already have applied for citizenship prior to the ruling are unable to change their gender, according to community members.
The participants also urged the Same-sex Marriage Law Committee to release their pending report on the review of the same-sex law. The committee was established in 2007 to review and research the need for the law, however the report has yet to be shared with the public.
The dialogue was organized by UNDP as part of 'Being LGBT in Asia,' a regional initiative undertaken by USAID and UNDP to assess the situation of LGBTI people in Asia. Nepal is one of the eight participating countries in this initiative.

RainSoft water treatment delivers safe, clean water right to your tap, but in the event of a disaster you may not have access to your RainSoft treated water. To help manage water use during a disaster follow these tips from Ready.gov.
- Allow people to drink according to their needs. Many people need even more than the average of one gallon per day.
- Never ration drinking water unless ordered to do so by authorities.Drink the amount you need today and try to find more for tomorrow.
- Drink water that you know is not contaminated first. If necessary, suspicious water, such as cloudy water from regular faucets or water from streams or ponds, can be used after it has been treated.
- Do not drink carbonated beverages instead of drinking water.Carbonated beverages do not meet drinking-water requirements.
- Turn off the main water valves. You will need to protect the water sources already in your home from contamination if you hear reports of broken water or sewage lines or if local officials advise you of a problem.

My husband and I started a tradition shortly after we got married of making goodies at Christmas for our family and friends. (The tradition was suspended when our daughter was born.) We tried out new recipes each year, but also took requests for favorites from previous years. One item that was always requested was fudge. We did not have an elaborate recipe, and in fact used the one on the back of the marshmallow cream jar. It is not real fudge, but it's much easier and tastes great.
Dear Savvy Senior,
My husband and I are both in our 60s and are interested in making some modest changes to our home to make it more practical and senior-friendly, but aren't sure what to do. What resources can you recommend to help us figure this out?
Dear Homebodies,
No matter what word one uses — apathy, sadness — each of the above and many more, like hopelessness, helplessness, are all symptoms and/or expressions of depression.
I grew up with mostly homemade food, instead of convenience foods from the store. As life has gotten busier over the years, I have resorted to using many packaged foods. In an effort to learn how to make staples, some of which my mama did not even make herself, I turned to the new book The Homemade Pantry by Alana Chernila.
Dear Savvy Senior,
What can you tell me about longevity annuities? I come from a family with long life expectancies and I would like to protect myself from running out of money in my old age. Looking Ahead
Dear Looking
If you're worried about outliving your retirement savings, longevity annuities are definitely an option worth looking into.
It seems that the tradition of turkey on the day we refer to as Thanksgiving Day will be here forever. I noticed this week at Country Mart in Taylorsville (my favorite place to shop) the huge display of "gobblers" from small to large, just in time to have our mouths water at the soon-to-be experience of that aroma that beats all other aromas ... roasted turkey.
But with all the opportunities to have our taste buds stimulated, let's now turn our attention to the topic: "what are you thankful for, not just on Thanksgiving Day, but every day?"
Last week, I shared a recipe for pumpkin whoopie pies, which I discovered through a search on Pinterest, an online visual search tool. When I was looking around Pinterest for pumpkin whoopie pie recipes, I found another recipe for cookies made with pumpkin that I decided I had to try: snickerdoodle and pumpkin cream cheese sandwiches. Since I did not use the entire can of pumpkin for the whoopie pies, I had just enough left to make half of a batch of pumpkin cream cheese.
Dear Savvy Senior,
Can lifting weights help with age-related health problems? At age 70, I have diabetes, arthritis and osteoporosis and recently read that strength training could improve my conditions. What can you tell me?
Looking for Help
Dear Looking,
A growing body of research shows that strength training exercises can have a profound impact on a person's health as they age — and you're never too old to start.
The answer: all of them. In fact, the dictionary definition of "anxiety" includes the words: fear, worry. And, phobia typically involves fear. So, since they are all alike, the column this week will focus on anxiety, in particular.
A disorder described as Generalized Anxiety is characterized by chronic anxiety that persists for a period of at least six months.
Halloween has come and gone and a lot of candy is left behind. I have found that Halloween candy can last far longer than one might expect, even not in the freezer. It is hard for me to pass up holiday candy clearance sales when the discount goes to 70 percent off. The candy keeps for a long time (sometimes years) and I use it for treats throughout the year.

We feel that the Connecting Women in Mathematics Across Canada Program has been successful in many ways. In particular it has been a pleasure to see the number of women from our first workshop that continue to come to CMS meetings and have tenure track positions in universities across Canada.
Our program will not result in any direct publications.
We received support from BIRS and PIMS.
Future Plans (if any):
We are currently planning the Connecting Women in Math Across Canada III conference. At this conference we would like to bring together women and men at a variety of levels to address ways that we can improve the academic enviroment for all mathematicians, and in doing so, also improve the enviroment for women.
We are still working on reimbursing the students' costs, and will send you details as soon as it is finished. We apologize for the delay.

So F1 fans chin up! The new season starts four months today in Australia. Time will fly by. So to help fill the void in your life caused by lack of racing here is a quick trip back to the golden early days of Formula One in the 60s and 70s.
In some ways it is a bitter sweet journey for many of the stars of these images met awful premature deaths. You look at Jim Clark winning the US Grand Prix in 1967 knowing that a few months later his life would be claimed by a tree at the notorious German Hockenheimring circuit. Then there's the fresh faced Jochen Rindt, the man many predicted would dominate F1 in the 70s who lost his life while practising for the Italian Grand Prix in 1970. He was just 28 years old.
I am also reminded of the really stupid deaths like that of British driver Thomas Pryce who was killed after a collision with a marshal who stepped on to the track at the 1977 South African Grand Prix.
Heaven knows what kind of impact these deaths must have had on the other drivers. And spurred on by a public, who were now getting sick of seeing images of grieving girlfriends with tear-filled eyes tucked behind their shades and the staff of constructors teams with ever more furrowed brows, Jackie Stewart and other drivers embarked on a long journey to make the sport a safe one.
In spite of the tragedies though,there is something incredibly glamorous about F1 in the 60s and 70s. Maybe it is clothes, the hair (or the sideburns as a certain person got bang on here), the curved shape of the cars or the stunning backdrops of circuits like Monaco (when they weren't only a quick and cheap Easyjet flight away), but it just seemed way more sophisticated, elegant and classy back then.
Much of that elan was captured in the 1966 John Frankenheimer-directed film Grand Prix in which an American driver played by James Garner battles it out with French counterpart Yves Montand . The film wast a staple on TV in the 70s and 80s but doesn't get screened as much now. It is worth watching for a gripping story line, some gorgeous photography and the cameo appearance of French singer and style icon Francoise Hardy.
So enjoy these images and let's celebrate the all too brief lives of some of F1's true giants.

Difference between revisions of "Yellow fever"
Revision as of 22:10, 3 June 2006
This is an article about health issues. While contributors do their best, we cannot take account of your individual health needs. Consult your doctor for individual medical advice.
About Yellow Fever
Yellow fever is a tropical disease caused by a virus transmitted by the mosquito Aedes. Its symptoms include fever, jaundice, and bloody vomit, and it can cause death. Be sure to take precautions against mosquito bites if you are visiting a country where yellow fever is present.
A vaccine is available which provides immunity for at least ten years. Many countries will require that you be vaccinated against yellow fever if you are coming from a country where it is present or have been in such a country within the last 6 days (the incubation period). If this is the case you will need to present a "World Health Organisation International Certificate of Vaccination" with an appropriately dated certification on the "International Certificate of Vaccination or Revaccination Against Yellow Fever" page to immigration officials. This little yellow booklet will be given to you when you are vaccinated against yellow fever for the first time. Carry it with your passport: you'll typically present them to immigration officials at the same time.
It is generally easiest to get a yellow fever vaccination in your home country before you leave on your trip. The vaccination is not in the normal vaccination schedules of many countries outside the infected areas since it is unnecessary unless you are travelling and has a somewhat higher risk of complications than many other vaccines. You will need to especially request a yellow fever vaccination from a designated yellow fever vaccination center. Immunity is considered to start 10 days from the time of the vaccination, so be sure to get vaccinated 10 days before you enter an infected country. The vaccine is live and not entirely inactive: many people have mild flu-like symptoms for a couple of days after receiving this vaccine, so it would be good not to be planning anything strenuous in those days.
Depending on how the vaccine is cultivated, you may need to allow about half an hour for a yellow fever vaccination as you will be observed for an allergic reaction after it is administered.
Vaccination requirements
The following countries require or recommend immunization against yellow fever:

DOVER – Pink, pink and more pink flooded Henry Law Park Saturday morning for the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk.
Six hundred pre-registered walkers gathered in the park prior to the walk to check in, purchase t-shirts and prepare for the 3-mile noncompetitive stroll through the downtown area.
"The path is looping around Henry Law Park, up Washington, down Fourth Street and then down Central," Tara Dickey, Community Executive, said.
Denise Mosher of Farmington, is a three-year breast cancer survivor, and her sister and her aunt passed away from breast cancer. This year, Mosher and her four friends walked in pink and white homemade tutus.
"We're here for Denise. This is our third year," Mosher's friend Jammie McFadden of Rochester said. "When we started three years ago, she needed a boost. When you find out you have cancer, it is not an easy thing ... That is why we started and we keep doing it."
More than 226,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer this year and nearly 40,000 will die from the disease. An estimated 1,160 women in New Hampshire alone will be diagnosed.
"What we do is, we focus on prevention, detection and programs right here in our own hospitals," Dickey said.
This is Making Strides Against Breast Cancer's 20th anniversary. The first walks were held in Boston and in New Hampshire. Now, the walks are national.
"We are local in the sense that our money goes to programs and services here," Dickey said.
In the past 20 years, 8 million walkers have raised over $450 million for the fight to end breast cancer.
"Really, cancer affects all of us," said McFadden.

text: I was reading the Wall Street Journal this morning and they had an interesting article about keeping resolutions. According to the article, only 19% of people who make them actually stick to their vows for two years. The article went on and talked about other discouraging statistics about New Year's resolutions.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton says in an interview with New York Magazine that she is wrestling with running for president but is "pragmatic and realistic" as she considers a potential White House campaign in 2016.
The former secretary of state tells the magazine in an article posted online Sunday that she will do whatever she can "to advocate for the values and the policies I think are right for the country."
Clinton says she has a good idea of the challenges facing the nation's leaders and is weighing the factors that would influence her decision one way or another.
The former first lady is the leading contender for the Democratic nomination if she decides to run.

Hutchinson visits storm damaged Diamond, Illinois
With dozens of homes heavily damaged from yesterday's storms, State Senator Toi Hutchinson (D – Chicago Heights) joined Governor Quinn today in assessing damage in and around the Diamond area.
"The damage in the Diamond and Coal City area is extensive," Hutchinson said. "Luckily, there have been no reports of loss of life and only a few injuries."
The American Red Cross has set up a temporary shelter at Coal City High School, located at 655 West Division Street, for those who have been displaced by the storms. The Red Cross has also started distributing food to those affected.
"While there were no reports of casualties, it is estimated 70 to 100 homes were damaged or destroyed by this storm," Hutchinson continued. "We have already seen an outpouring of assistance from surrounding communities, which speaks volumes to the good-hearted people and families living in our area. We stick together and help those during times of need. It's what we do."
Senator Hutchinson represents the 40th District in the State Senate, including northeastern Grundy and portions of Will, Kankakee and Cook Counties.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — CBS Corp. is rolling out past seasons of "The Good Wife" online, the first time the broadcaster is allowing Internet access to a drama that is still airing new episodes on TV.
The deal announced Wednesday means that the first three seasons of the hit crime show will be available starting Thursday to fans who pay for Amazon.com's Prime membership, which costs $79 a year.
Hulu Plus subscribers who pay $8 a month will be able to see the back seasons of the show in September.
The fourth season of the show wraps up in March and the fifth season is expected in the fall.
CBS had previously not licensed shows that were still on air to online video providers. It lifted that restriction with some reality TV shows such as "Survivor" and "The Amazing Race," which began playing on Hulu Plus in January.
CBS was the last among the broadcasters to see the benefit of putting back seasons of currently airing TV shows online.
After studying the matter, executives came to believe that putting shows that have season-long story lines online allows fans to catch up. Those fans then show up to watch new episodes when they air on TV.
"We looked at this as an opportunity to get the most amount of money and give the shows the best exposure to increase ratings on the network," said CBS' chief content licensing officer, Scott Koondel, in an interview.
Past episodes of "The Good Wife" will also run on The Hallmark Channel next January and on local TV stations in September 2014.

Ciro Ferrara admits "it hurts" to be eliminated on penalties after Sampdoria's Coppa Italia adventure ended at the first hurdle.
Last night the Blucerchiati could only hold Serie B side Juve Stabia to a 1-1 draw and lost the penalty shoot-out. [12]
"We played a good game against an organised and aggressive side," said the Coach.
"We did well, even if we weren't that effective in front of goal. We can't do anything other than accept the result and look ahead.
"I didn't see any steps back compared to our friendly against Schalke 04. It hurts to be eliminated, but the performance was not negative.
"I have my own idea of football and I will try to push it forward, even though I realise it will take patience and courage."
Ex-Juventus winger Marcelo Estigarribia made his debut for Sampdoria.

Future PLC 'considering options' for US division
Magazine publisher Future has said it is "considering a wider range of strategic options" for its US division in light of "challenging" conditions for the business.
In pre-close trading update the publisher said its position in the US "is significantly more challenging" than the UK. In July Future announced plans to "accelerate the transition of Future US into a primarily digital business".
But this week, in a report preceding full-year earnings in November, the group said trading conditions in the US "reflecting ongoing weakness and decreasing visibility at newsstand" means the board is now considering a wider range of strategic options. PaidContent reports that the language used suggests the company "now may look to sell its business there".
The publisher also confirmed that 10 per cent of its workforce has been cut in the UK and worldwide, which equals around 100 jobs, as part of its restructure to focus on digital and print efficiencies.
The company also claims in the latest report that the trends identified in its Interim Management Statement, published in July, have continued.
Tags: digital, Future, magazine, publisher, revenue, trading statement, us
Revenues for the twelve months ending 30 September 2011 are expected to be down 6 per cent on last year, in constant currency. The Board remains comfortable with market expectations of results for 2011, subject only to any period-end adjustment required in relation to US newsstand returns, beyond those already announced and incorporated into fourth quarter estimates.

It seems that Spiros fixed the problem however I've never been in the position of needing a nightly build for python and when I look for one now, I don't find anything.
How does one apply (or even find) patches like that indicated in issue 16119?
Although even if I figure out how to fix this (maybe just back my installation up to 2.7.2) my guess is that from a) a previous Django exercise (that I'm trying to double-check with xgoogle and b) the most recent posts above that google is now able to detect programmatic access and doesn't return any results in order to discourage (prevent) programmatic access.

Pat Buchanan: The East ascends as the West declinesPAT BUCHANAN
August 23. 2013 12:32AM
IN THE NEAR term, bet on the men with the guns.
The Egyptian Army, being slowly squeezed out of its central role in the nation's life by Mohammed Morsi, waited for the moment to oust the elected president and crush his Muslim Brotherhood. Morsi was deposed and arrested, and the Brotherhood leaders rounded up and jailed. Their Cairo encampments were cleansed by gunfire. Hundreds of brothers were cut down and killed, and thousands wounded.
Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, gazing into his mirror, must see Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser gazing back.
In the near term, the Brotherhood is in disarray. It backed the Arab Spring, heeded America's call for free elections, and won parliament and the presidency, only to have the army, with America's backing, overthrow its Islamist government in a military coup. If the Brotherhood feels betrayed, if it believes its sons who opposed the coup died as martyrs, if it has concluded that the Americans, with their endless blather about democracy, are duplicitous hypocrites, are they entirely wrong?
In the short term, America must get on with the generals. For it is they who bottle up Hamas in Gaza, battle al-Qaida in Sinai, protect the Christian Copts, grant our Air Force overflight rights and our Navy first-in-line transit rights through the Suez Canal. And it is the generals who continue to honor the terms of the Camp David accords.
Understandably, Israeli diplomats are imploring us, the slaughter aside, not to cut our ties to the Egyptian military. Yet it is hard to believe the long-term future belongs to the generals.
Looking back, of all the forces unleashed by the Arab Spring, the Facebook-Twitter crowd calling for secular democracy harvested the greatest publicity. But even then, other forces seemed to have deeper and broader roots in the hearts and minds of the masses. Those forces: tribalism, nationalism and Islamism.
The generals may work hand-in-glove with the Israelis. But anti-Zionism remains one of the few rallying cries that can unite secularist and Islamist, Sunni and Shia. And as the Jews have been expelled from the Arab world, today it is the turn of the Christians. And after the Jews and Christians are gone, it is likely to be the turn of the Americans.
Why? First, the Americans are seen as standing behind Israel's regional superiority and dominance of the Palestinian Arabs. Second, while we defend our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as liberations from dictatorship and obscurantism, they are seen over there as America using her power to impose upon these nations our institutions and our ideology. And while America's achievements may inspire awe, America's culture, suffused with feminist and Hollywood values, evokes revulsion.
Third, there is a growing confidence in the Islamic world that the future belongs to them. Whence comes this confidence?
Western peoples are dying, as Muslim populations are exploding and Muslim migrants are pouring into Europe and the United States. While Islam is booming in the East and being welcomed in the West, Christianity is dying in the West and being expelled from the East. It is not unreasonable for Muslim visionaries to see the next 500 years as an era of Islamic ascendancy, as the last 500 saw a Western ascendancy.
Fourth, while Eygpt's army has the guns and, temporarily, the banner of patriotism, it has no faith, no philosophy, no ideology to justify an indefinite hold on power.
Indeed, this is America's dilemma. When Japan attacked and Adolf Hitler declared war, and when Josef Stalin set out to dominate the world, all we held dear — faith, family, freedom, country — said resist. When Osama bin Laden took down our towers, we united to take down him and al-Qaida. Millions of Muslims are willing to fight to drive us out of their part of the world. How many Americans are willing to send our sons to die for secular democracy and American values in their part of the world?
Ethnonationalism and religious fundamentalism tore apart the British, French and Soviet empires. All are working now against the U.S. Imperium. The generals in Egypt won this round. But is there any doubt as to which way the wind is blowing?

10. ART: "Nude in Public: Sascha Schneider, Homoeroticism and the Male Form Circa 1900"
Schneider, a painter and sculptor, was one of the top artists in Germany in the early 20th century, and many of his works portrayed the beauty of the nude male body. Openly gay, he brought an unabashedly homoerotic sensibility to his art. But within a generation, Schneider fell out of favor. Prominent art historian Jonathan David Katz has put together the first U.S. exhibition of Schneider's work, examining not only his art but also the societal and cultural factors that contributed to his rise and fall. Opens next Friday at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in New York City and runs through December 8; there will be a reception a week from tonight. More info here. (Look for an Artist Spotlight on Schneider Saturday.)
9. EVENT: L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center's Beach Classic
Whether you like swimming, enjoy running, know your way around a volleyball net, or just want to watch, you can join hundreds of people at the Los Angeles-area Dockweiler State Beach Saturday at 8 a.m. for this sporty tournament to raise funds for the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center. Proceeds go to several of the center's programs, including an outreach effort to help L.A. schools become better places for LGBT students, services for LGBT elders, HIV care, and a domestic violence recovery program.
