Artist: Spinello Aretino(1350/52 - about 1410)Fresco: 39.5 x 31 cm; 51.5 x 54 cm Accession numbers: WAG 2752 & WAG 2753
'7 February 1772…. Mr Patch for four fragments of the fresco painted by Giotto in the church of the Carmini lately burnt ... ...48 scudi,'
This description in one of the notebooks of Lancashire collector and connoisseur Charles Towneley tells of some pieces of fresco he had bought in Florence from the dealer, collector and scholar Thomas Patch. This was an unusual purchase for Towneley as he is nowadays best remembered for his collection of antique Roman statues, now in the British Museum. Various attributions to Giotto, Lorenzetti and others continued for these fragments throughout the 19th century.
William Roscoe, the Liverpool collector who owned so many of the pictures in this room, bought these two fragments of the same fresco series from the sale of William Young Ottley in 1811 and probably paid about £10 for both. It is not clear if these two pieces had belonged to Towneley - there are now in total more than ten pieces of the fresco in various museums, churches and one in private hands. Roscoe always believed his fragments to be by the great 13th century painter Giotto, who lived from 1266/67 to 1337.
The main reason why the pictures were attributed to Giotto was because they had been listed as among the several frescoes made by Giotto by the great 16th century biographer of Florentine artists - Giorgio Vasari. In his Life of Giotto, Vasari identified what he thought was Giotto's special importance:
"In my opinion painters owe to Giotto … exactly the same debt they owe to nature, which constantly serves them as a model and whose finest and most beautiful aspects they are always striving to imitate and reproduce. For after the many years during which the methods and outlines of good painting had been buried under the ruins caused by war it was Giotto alone who, by God's favour, rescued and restored the art, even though he was born among incompetent artists. It was indeed, a great miracle that in so gross and incompetent an age Giotto could be inspired to such good purpose that by his work he completely restored the art of design, of which his contemporaries knew little or nothing."
Giotto was seen by Vasari as having more or less single-handedly revived painting as a superior Art and rescued it from the low point to which it had sunk during the Middle Ages. One can see, therefore, that there is a sense in which Towneley, in buying fresco fragments by Giotto, was buying something that represented a revived continuity of the Roman Art that he was so interested in.
A contemporary of Roscoe, the artist Benjamin Robert Haydon went even further in suggesting Giotto's connection with Antiquity. He compared these fragments to the great series of carved reliefs that Lord Elgin had recently brought to London from the Parthenon in Athens and suggested that it was almost as if Giotto had been schooled by descendants of those ancient Greek sculptors who had worked with Phideas at Athens.
These fragments are in fact by Spinello Aretino (active 1373 - died 1410/11) an artist from Arezzo, who worked extensively in Florence and was, like several other Tuscan painters, a follower of Giotto's style. Spinello was commissioned sometime around 1380, by the Manetti family, to decorate their family chapel at the church of St. Maria del Carmine with scenes from the life of St John the Baptist. Spinello also painted a series of frescoes that still survives in the sacristy of the same church. In January 1771 the Carmine was very badly damaged by fire. Thomas Patch, an enterprising scholar, drew copies of the damaged frescoes and published a series of engravings of them. These remain the only visual records of what the whole frescoes looked like and are reproduced on the attached sheet. Patch then 'sawed off' various fragments which he sold or gave away.
The fragments are of great significance in that their rescue and recording marks almost the very beginning of the new taste in Europe for so-called Italian 'Primitive' art of the 14th century.
The fragments show the infant St John the Baptist being held by a young woman, behind whom is John's mother, the aged St Elizabeth. John is being presented to his father Zachary in order to be named. The other fragment shows Salome, dancing at a feast before her father, Herod.
Fresco is water-based paint brushed directly onto wet plaster on a wall. Plaster will last well provided it does not get damp or get burnt - both of which happened to Spinello's frescoes.

Hooksett highs: A good multiple choice test
Hooksett high school students are enjoying school choice this fall in what could become — by accident — a model for the rest of the state.
Hooksett does not have its own high school. For years it contracted with Manchester, but the town's school board wanted out of that contract and last year secured an early release that took effect this summer. Though Hooksett's school board wanted to send all of the town's high schoolers to Pinkerton Academy in Derry, voters in March rejected the contract.
That created an opportunity. With no tuition contract sending all Hooksett high schoolers to a single high school, the school board negotiated deals with Pinkerton, Manchester, Londonderry, Bow. Families can choose which high school they want their students to attend. This fall, 165 Hooksett high school students will attend the school of their family's choice.
Earlier this month, Hooksett secured a deal with Manchester that makes the city school district Hooksett's default district. Students who do not choose a school will be assigned to either Manchester Central or West. This arrangement — a default school, with the option of choosing an alternative — is a fine model. Students can go to the school that would serve them best, not one chosen for them by the school district. There is no reason it cannot be duplicated, even in municipalities that have their own high schools, and even for elementary, middle and junior high.

Become a Nurse >> Browse Articles >> Degrees & Certifications >> BSN
6 Reasons to Get a BSN
Jennifer Fink | NursingLink
#3: BSN required for entry to practice?
ADN, diploma and BSN nurses are excellent nurses; after all, they all sit for the same licensing exam and are held to the same standards of professional accountability. But increasingly, a number of nursing organizations are recommending the BSN for entry into practice. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) recognizes the BSN degree as "the minimum educational requirement for professional nursing practice" and says that "the BSN degree is essential for nurses seeking to perform at the case-manager or supervisory level or move across employment settings."
The AACN also notes that the BSN-prepared nurse "is the only basic nursing graduate preferred to practice in all health care settings – critical care, ambulatory care, public health, and mental health."
The National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice (NACNEP), an organization the reports to Congress and the U.S. Secretary for Health and Human Services on nursing issues, also supports the BSN as the minimum for entry into practice. In 2010, they recommended that "the U.S. Congress, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Department of Education…work with U.S. nursing programs to support the goal of having all registered nurses prepared at the baccalaureate in nursing (BSN) or higher degree level to improve quality and safety in healthcare in the United Sates."
#4: Nurse Educator Shortage
A critical shortage of nurse educators is keeping even qualified nurse applicants from nursing school. That's a situation that must change if nurses are to meet the healthcare demands of the future. Obtaining a BSN puts you in line for a nurse educator position.
BSN-prepared nurses are qualified to teach both certified nursing assistants (CNAs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) at technical and community colleges. Most universities and schools of nursing require nurse faculty members to have a Master's degree, at minimum, but BSN-prepared nurses may be able to lead clinical rotations as adjunct faculty members. If you find you love teaching, you can go back to school to obtain a MSN while continuing to teach clinical nursing.

Just in time for Game 1 of the Bruins' Eastern Conference Quartefinals series with Toronto, the entire team got healthy.
That allowed coach Claude Julien to align three of his forward trios the way he had them at the start of the season.
Actually, those lines have been together as far back as the 2011 run to the Stanley Cup championship.
With David Krejci between Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton, Patrice Bergeron between Tyler Seguin and Brad Marchand, and Gregory Campbell between Daniel Paille and Shawn Thornton, Julien's decision paid off in the Bruins' 4-1 win. Those lines were again together for practice Friday at Ristuccia Arena.
"I felt confident that that was the best thing to do at the time, I guess," Julien said. "You know, separating them wasn't a bad thing because at the same time you create some excitement there of being back together because, I know for a fact the lines that I have right now, they like playing with each other. And sometimes you get too comfortable and you think you're there forever and when you get separated a little bit you realize how much you're missing. It's the same thing when you leave your wife, when you get back, right? It's sort of the same thing."
The fourth Bruins forward line might look more like the one from earlier this season in Game 2 Saturday. Rich Peverley, who was a healthy scratch for Game 1, practiced with Chris Kelly and Jaromir Jagr, while Kaspars Daugavins practiced with the healthy scratches. Kelly and Peverley enjoyed success together before this season. In 2013, they've been together with a cast of several wingers and also separated. Now it might be time for Peverley and Kelly to rediscover their magic.
"We seemed to play well together in the past, so hopefully we can keep it going. And maybe this is the time for us to prove that we can play well together."
On defense, Andrew Ference's suspension will make continuity impossible for Game 2. Dougie Hamilton practiced on a pair with Wade Redden, but Julien wouldn't commit to a set replacement for Ference after Friday's practice.
If Hamilton plays with Redden, Adam McQuaid would skate with Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg would join Johnny Boychuk. Skating with Chara would throw more responsibility McQuaid's way.
"I'm not trying to do a whole lot more than what I normally do," McQuaid said. "I just try to be solid whenever I'm called upon. I'm not trying to do much more than that."
The Maple Leafs practiced at BU. Several of their lines were different and they might make some changes on defense. Phil Kessel practiced after a maintenance day on Thursday.

The cover for "The Wrenchies" by Farel Dalrymple. (First Second)Link
Two pages from "The Wrenchies" by Farel Dalrymple. (First Second)Link
"The Wrenchies" author Farel Dalrymple. (First Second)Link
Imagine a world in which children brutally slay demons in order to survive, knowing that when they grow up, they'll become demons too.
"The Wrenchies," an upcoming YA graphic novel from alternative comics star Farel Dalrymple, chronicles the adventures of the toughest gang of those children, the so-called Wrenchies. The book is due out this fall from First Second, and Hero Complex readers get a first look at the book's cover, which shows the eponymous gang clad for battle.
Dalrymple is best known for his award-winning comic series "Pop Gun War," an urban fantasy about a boy who acquires a pair of angel wings and uses them to fly off on adventures. He also co-founded the comic anthology "Meathaus," illustrated the Marvel limited series "Omega the Unknown," written by novelist Jonathan Lethem, and authors the ongoing Web comic "It Will All Hurt," a sad and strange fantasy adventure series set on a post-apocalyptic planet.
It is in that world that "The Wrenchies" takes place. The book follows a group of children and teenagers who must fight demons, zombies and "shadowsmen" in order to survive on their desolate planet. It's a sort of twisted, science-fiction "Peter Pan" story, with time travel, graphic violence and magic thrown in.
Hero Complex caught up with Dalrymple, who talks about his inspiration for the 300-page graphic novel, his intended audience for the metaphysical tale, and the dark world in which he weaves his stories.
Hero Complex: This is one of the strangest fictional worlds I've seen in ages. What inspired this project? How did you develop this world?
Farel Dalrymple: The idea for "The Wrenchies" came from a 15-page story I did for the "Meathaus S.O.S." anthology about two brothers who go into an evil elf cave. Using that as a springboard and a bunch of other notes and ideas and drawings from my sketchbook I put a few pages of plot together. Then I did a bunch of color character and concept drawings for what I had in mind. I gathered inspiration from a variety of sources: "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle, "Fight Club" by Chuck Palahniuk, "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, "Akira" by Otomo Katsuhiro, "Nausicaa" (the manga and movie) by Hayao Miyazaki, movies such as "Over the Edge" (1979), and movie directors like David Lynch, Werner Herzog and Wes Anderson, "The Prisoner" television program, Moebius' "Airtight Garage" stuff, and old Heavy Metal magazines, Marvel comics from the 1980s, the cartooning work of Tom Herpich, Brandon Graham, Mike Mignola, Taiyo Matsumoto, Tatsuyuki Tanaka, Dave Cooper, Paul Pope, and a whole bunch of other guys.
The world itself is something that I am always thinking about and building on. All my stories, everything I write myself are all related at least by a few of the characters that appear in them. My Web comic, "It Will All Hurt" (Study Group Comics), is on the same post-apocalyptic planet as "The Wrenchies." There are characters and references from "Pop Gun War" in there too. I remember noticing a family tree that Madeleine L'Engle had in "Many Waters" and how all the characters in all her stories were all related in some way. She had two universes, a science fiction one and a more real world setting. Only a few characters crossed over into both. That sort of thing was very exciting to me, and it has been fun over the years creating my own mess based on that concept.
HC: "The Wrenchies" live in such a bleak world, and Sherwood's story is so tragic. Was it difficult for you as an artist to spend so much time in such dark creative places?
FD: Yeah, it was pretty difficult for sure, especially for the last and darkest chapter of the book. There were more than a couple times I was concerned for my sanity. I started meditating and made sure I got regular sleep but I still had a few freak-outs and a lot of breaks (too many). I am glad my partner was willing to put up with me through the whole thing.
HC: Speaking of dark and gory, I'm curious about your intended audience. Are you writing for children? For adults? Whom would you like to read it?
FD: People who are familiar with "Pop Gun War" and some of my other stuff might be surprised at the language and subject matter in "The Wrenchies." My main intention when making this was to have a literary work that would appeal to someone who likes more existential and metaphysical fiction. When someone writes a similar themed prose book it seems easier to categorize it being for an adult. Because I choose to work in comics I think most of the time there is this automatic assumption that you should expect children to enjoy it. I understand that, but there is some stuff in there that just isn't appropriate for really young readers. If you object to a lot of swearing and violence and drug use in your stories then you probably won't like it. I mean, I haven't showed it to my mom yet. Most of my work until "The Wrenchies" has been weird but still kid-friendly and all-ages. With this book I was deliberately trying to make it more intense and horrific. I didn't want anything exploitative or sexy in there, but I wanted the world to feel edgy and scary like a lot of real-life, grown-up situations feel to me. In the previously mentioned movie "Over the Edge," I love the way the kids talk to each other and drink and do drugs. The same goes for the amazing 1983 graffiti documentary, "Style Wars." The children in those movies, which aren't kid's movies, seem like adults and are just dealing with life. In a different way but sort of like in Charles Schulz's "Peanuts," there aren't any adults around, just these kids dealing with life on their own, negotiating philosophical points.
HC: There are a lot of children in your work. Why do you enjoy drawing and writing young people?
FD: That is something I have thought a lot about over the years. Growing up I spent so much time alone playing, reading and watching television, I must have stored up a lot of ideas from that time in my life. Or maybe that is just where my head is. Even now at almost 42 years I still forget that I am an adult. I think a lot of dudes around my age might feel something like that too, a psyche caught somewhere between child and teenager. I don't have any children or plan on ever having any, but my sister has five of them. So being sort of detached from the whole parental thing, I think kids are pretty hilarious and I am interested by how they relate to the world and each other. Like I mentioned before with 'Peanuts," something about the melancholy and nostalgia from that time of life is very interesting to me. Teenagers also sort of terrify me too, especially when I was one. Maybe that is part of the whole appeal of writing about them.
HC: You've been working on this book since 2008. What about this story kept your attention and interest? Did the length of time you had to work on this change your process? For example, did you go back and alter decisions you'd made early on? Did you write first and then draw?
FD: I stuck with the basic premise and story points throughout the entire thing, but it was hard to keep focused on it at times. A lot of life happened in those five years. Working in relative isolation for that long, well, I don't know if I ever want to tackle a project quite like that again. I really tried to remind myself to enjoy the process and the journey. It is so boring seeing a comic book that looks like the person making it doesn't like to draw. I did add a lot of stuff to the story as I was going, especially the last chapter. There was so much extra stuff by the end, the biggest challenge was deciding what to leave out. This book is not only the single biggest book I have done, I feel like it is the densest story I have ever cartooned.
I was also aware that my art might change over the course of working on this so with each chapter I deliberately changed up the art style a little while trying to retain an overall look and feel to the whole thing. I really like work that is idiosyncratic and obsessive, so hopefully people will respond positively to the care and attention I gave to a lot of details.
HC: Your story deals with space/time travel. What are some of your favorite time travel stories, and what, if any, tropes did you try to avoid?
DF: I find the whole single timeline paradox really annoying so I tend to focus more on alternate realities and divergent timelines. Something I touch on a little but not in any sort of scientific way in "The Wrenchies" is time dilation. I remember watching a TV commercial for a book set that mentioned that Einstein thing, the baby on Earth becomes an old man after you got back from an hour of light speed travel. I have been rather interested in the theory of relativity since then. The time dilation concept was all really brought home to me in "The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman. As previously mentioned I liked the work of Madeleine L'Engle. I'm also into Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams and Ray Bradbury and the specific ways they all write about time and dimensional travel. I like stuff like "Star Trek" and the old Tom Baker "Doctor Who" as well, although the time/space travel on those shows never makes any sense to me.
HC: Is there a scene or page in the book you're particularly proud of?
DF: The entire Hollis chapter is my easily favorite part of the book. Creating that section came the most naturally to me. I think it features more of what I am the most competent at in cartooning. Hollis is kind of a special kid who is really the hero of the book and the heart of the Wrenchies team. I have a done a couple live readings of that chapter in front of an audience. It was hard for me not to get choked up while reading it. Not that it was intentionally sad or anything but just because of how attached to that character I am and how personal some of the scenes were. I was a pretty sensitive kid growing up and relate a lot to that little guy's life. I've used him before in some other stories that were collected recently in my personal anthology/art book, "Delusional" (AdHouse Books).
HC: Anything else you'd like to add?
FD: This is for sure a weird and silly book in the grand scheme of things, I know. At first glance it might seem like just a weird sci-fi comic, but I tried to touch on some deeper stuff too. I am very grateful to First Second for taking a chance on publishing a book like this. I hope people can enjoy it on a superficial level, but it would be neat to me if it made some people think and connect with it. Hopefully there is some stuff in there that sticks. Get into it.

Really really truly awesome image!!! Any more???
I do not follow how you can tell the DR from a jpg, because you do not know what adjustments have been made to the RAW file. In a studio shot you also do not know what the DR of the scene was. In the posted image of the lady with black trousers you can guesstimate the actual DR of the scene, but... you cannot really know what adjustments using curves, black & white point and recovery was made to the RAW file.Or what am I missing???
Nice shot, thank you for posting it. I think you could quit your day job
Or what am I missing???
Thanks! But I love my day job :-).
Thank you Anders! Coming from you and your incredible work that means an enormous amount to me....My idea is to treat the body with the same aesthetics, techniques, and compositions as a landscape, while trying to avoid the over-literal (IMO) nature of Allan Teger whose work first inspired me (along with, after the fact, many early nude shooters).
The restaurant image is in fact also not that impressive a DR scene. Very soft typical eastern China light resulting from fog and acting as natural difuser, decision to keep inside of room pretty dark,...
Ray you aren't listening! There are CHARTS that show how good the color is from each camera. You should not waste your time looking at actual images and judging the color for yourself. Just use the charts!CHARTS!
@ Bernard,Are you referring to the dumpling restaurant I posted in another thread??? Seems you do not know Shanghai. That morning was very strong and high contrast light indeed. While I do not recall precise the DR of scene, it was maximum within the latitude of the sensor.
"Conclusion. . . However, more I look at these images, more I see the difference in fine details: look at hair, areas under her eyes, etc. Twice as big 16 bit Hasselblad sensor delivers more texture and colors over 14 bit Nikon sensor. It is simply a matter of physics: 6 micron v.s 4.7 micron of a pixel size, and much larger sensor area along with additional color information (16 bit v.s 14 bit) makes a difference."
Doug, My own photographic work is humble and for my own personal satisfaction. It is an essence to my life, a passion.Allan Teger, interesting!! When in Shanghai earlier this year I found his work through a search on the web and I was keen to try out bodyscapes like landscape imagery myself. With difficult getting a good model for naked I compromised... It was fun, but I find your work far superior .I include also a shot from another shoot. That one was arranged through Poco.cn who arranges amateur shoots in Shanghai and some other places in China. Most gents and girls show up with DSLRs. Perhaps I know more how to process files than most at such events, but my images humbly also tend to have characters that set them apart because I shoot MFDB. That shows even at tiny jpgs . That time a gent had a D800. Here are my images from that shoot;http://my.poco.cn/lastphoto_v2-htx-id-3083223-user_id-64555183-p-0.xhtmlhttp://my.poco.cn/lastphoto_v2-htx-id-3083200-user_id-64555183-p-0.xhtmland his;http://my.poco.cn/lastphoto_v2-htx-id-3075707-user_id-43172128-p-0.xhtmland a 5DmkII;http://my.poco.cn/lastphoto_v2.htx&id=3072421&user_id=58480991&p=0Now tell from the images which has the better DR?? , or simply judge who interpreted the scene better in post if you rather will... In the end who captured the best photographs? Nah, for that the camera does not matter as much. You can make good images with any camera, the choice is mere a choice of tool. Yet what I shoot brings me personally what I enjoy, towards and in the image. A Hy6 is also more discrete than a Nikon or Canon because most people do not realize what you are shooting with... until someone in those groups do and start asking price of it... sigh... And I aint rich, mere passion for photography and the image.In China people do know the Rolleiflex brand... perhaps I should change my WLF to a Leaf one??? Best regards,Anders
Fred,In the case where you decided to post someone else's test and pictures (everyone please check the source pictures since they are different) please do us all a favor and don't leave out the author's conclusion:"ConclusionThere is difference, Hasselblad produced slightly more details and color was more balanced to a girl skin tone. On a first sight the difference in image details seems to be so minimal that it will be hard to notice it. However, more I look at these images, more I see the difference in fine details: look at hair, areas under her eyes, etc. Twice as big 16 bit Hasselblad sensor delivers more texture and colors over 14 bit Nikon sensor. It is simply a matter of physics: 6 micron v.s 4.7 micron of a pixel size, and much larger sensor area along with additional color information (16 bit v.s 14 bit) makes a difference." and after round two:"My personal decision is to stay with Hasselblad and replace H1 P25+ with H3D39 or similar MF camera. Like Ive mentioned before, I need digital back to be deatachable and mountable on any other rig such as technical camera. Plus, I hate to clean 35mm DSLR sensors, and every time I swipe dust off from my P25+ Phase One digital back i smile: it is so easy!:-)"And Fred I still don't understand what on earth is making you go through all the work to try and sell these Nikons .... I don't get it. Don't you have a book to work on? I sure do, but I hate to see misinformation being spread. Come on, 'fess up! Are you on the Nikon payroll or what? Did they give you a camera?
(everyone please check the source pictures since they are different)

I am sharing my mount designs because I feel that most of the available mounts from Contour have some serious flaws that negatively affect the picture quality of the videos that people record using the standard mounts.
You first need to purchase a contour Tripod adapter and install it on your camera. Once you have the tripod adapter, the world is your oyster.
With this mount you can also use a small section of 1/4" screw threads and mate up with a GoPro tripod adapter. From there you are able to use all the GoPro mounts. VERY COOL
This mount is light weight, easy to install and remove, inexpensive to make and completely eliminates any vibration or rattling caused be a loose helmet mount.
It is a piece of aluminum bent at 90 degrees with slots cut in it for the velcro strap. A hole is drilled to attach the camera with a 1/4" screw. A little padding is put on the aluminum where there is contact with the helmet.
The camera lens is then rotated 90 degrees to be parallel with the horizon.
This is a small piece of aluminum that is bent to an angle that when mounted to the helmet via the visor screw is parallel with the horizon. The angle and location of the mount is marked on the helmet with a small line so that if it is removed, it will be easy to re-align the mount and the camera is then aimed perfectly.
This mount is FAR superior to the goggle mount or the low profile mount because there is absolutely no vibration or unwanted movement of the camera while riding. The only movement is from the movement of the riders helmet (90% of the helmet movement is from a loose fitting helmet).
There really aren't any options for a Contour chest mount that are commercially available and that aren't large and cumbersome. This mount is low profile, solid and inexpensive.
It comprises of a chest plate, a strap, an L bend of aluminum or steel and a screw.
The chest plate can be different sizes and shapes, BUT THE KEY is to limit the up and down movement. I have found the + shape more comfortable than a square or rectangle but you should experiment to see what works for you. My plate is made of nylon and made to look pretty with some faux carbon.
The L bracket is bolted to the plate and the camera secured with a 1/4" screw.
The mount is held firmly in place with a nylon strap around the chest. Multiple straps are not necessary if you pull it tight enough.

Bogus ballot: Putin voters in a foul mood
Le 01-12-2011
As Russians prepare to trudge to the polls for Sunday's parliamentary elections, a proletarian quip of Soviet times past comes to mind: "They pretend to pay us, we pretend to work."
In this sham election masquerading as democracy, the slogan might be revamped to say: "They pretend to govern, we pretend to vote."
Vladimir Putin's ruling United Russia party is sure to trounce the smattering of token opposition forces.
Despite this, the Putin people are having pre-electoral night sweats.
This explains why Putin's campaign rhetoric has reached a xenophobic fever pitch. And why the Kremlin's shock troops are out in force on the eve of the vote, making sure nothing (or as little as possible) gets in the way of a resounding mandate.
Election monitoring is one of those things that Russia's kleptocrats fear could "get in the way" of a chest-thumping triumph on Sunday.
Two-thirds majority or bust
Putin's propaganda guru, Vladislav Surkov, is therefore pulling out all stops to ensure that Putin's pesky opponents remain just that - pesky, and not potent.
A two-thirds majority, such as United Russia currently enjoys, is the minimum required to give Putin's party the bragging rights to tweak the constitution as it sees fit.
Eagle-eyed election monitors are a potential hitch.
The Moscow Times reports that Russia's only independent elections watchdog, Golos, has accused the NTV channel of trying to smear it and thereby prevent it from doing its job on election day.
Golos, which means "voice" in Russian, has thousands of activists in 40 regions.
They plan to monitor the voting on Sunday, and the counting of the ballots on Monday.
Golos's deputy chief, Grigory Melkonyants, told the newspaper that men brandishing microphones bearing the logo of the NTV channel stormed into his offices on Monday.
They reportedly shouted questions such as "What is your organisation doing?" and "Are you getting money from the US?" Read: the CIA?
In another era, NTV was a widely respected news outfit, known for its unvarnished investigative reporting from Chechnya.
In the age of Putin, it has morphed, along with most of Russia's media, into a pliant vassal of the Kremlin.
Today, it is owned by the state-controlled energy behemoth, Gazprom.
Golos is transparent about where it gets its funding: USAID, the British Embassy in Moscow, and the EU.
Don't mess with us
That makes it instantly suspect in the eyes of Russia's xenophobic rulers, who see foreign agents of subversion wherever they look.
Putin has embraced the "Western saboteur" theme with Cold War gusto.
Just this past weekend, he warned the West not to mess with Russia's elections, as he accepted his party's nomination before throngs of cheering devotees.
The message was calculated to rouse Russia's nationalistic rabble at a time when United Russia knows that its support is increasingly wobbly.
The 'booing revolution'
More alarming to the likes of Surkov, the presidential propagandist, polls show Putin's appeal waning as the realisation sinks in that Russians may be stuck with the guy well into the 2020s.
Russia's leading pollster, the Levada-Center, says Putin stands to lose the two-thirds majority in the lower house, or State Duma, that allows it to pass laws untrammeled by any opposition.
Levada says United Russia's popularity rating was shaved by nine points between February and November, dropping from 60 to 51 percent. A more recent poll shows the party's rating languishing at 39%.
United Russia, according to Levada's prognosis, could end up with a majority of only 28 seats in the 450-seat chamber.
"What was once easily classifiable as public apathy has quickly fermented into a very palpable dissatisfaction, and it is one that is increasingly breaking through the surface, even in places where it is not expected," writes Julia Ioffe in this week's Foreign Policy magazine.
Ioffe cites the so-called "booing revolution", which has seen United Russia heckled and jeered at the mere mention of its name, from hockey matches to rock concerts.
In the most striking case, Putin himself was the target of some high-decibel derision from 20,000 spectators at a martial arts fight in a Moscow stadium after he climbed into the ring to congratulate the Russian victor.
A defiant Kremlin spin doctor tried to explain that the crowd was actually jeering the defeated American opponent. Except they weren't; they were booing Putin. State television edited away the boos. But the video became a viral hit on YouTube.
The Central Election Commission is also being enlisted to shore up United Russia's base. It issued an order banning campaign ads by opposition parties.
The Vedomosti newspaper cited anonymous Kremlin sources as saying the order had been arranged by Putin's office. What really transpired remains unclear.
The Putin youth
Beyond Moscow, the Kremlin relies on a well-oiled patronage network to get out the vote.
Le Monde recently reported on a recruiting drive by pro-Putin youth workers in the provincial town of Voronezh, 467 kilometers (290 miles) southeast of Moscow.
The young party workers are given access to schools that the opposition could only dream of.
Government largesse is doled out based on local politicians' ability to get out the vote – for United Russia.
To be sure, Putin is, and will likely remain for some time, the paramount figure in Russian politics.
But while many Russians may be politically apathetic, they are anything but naïve.
A mock, Soviet-style election poster circulating on the Web parodies United Russia's approach to democracy. It shows a stern election official holding out his hand as he bars a voter from casting a ballot.
"No!" reads a warning in red letters. "Stay at home, we will fill out your ballot for you."
This Sunday, many Russians may do just that.

The good news is the hockey negotiations appear very close to resolution. Of course it took the threat of the players decertifying their union which would be a poison pill. What does this have to do with the stock market? Everything. It doesn't matter if its hockey, Congress or tiddlywinks, people are people and tough negotiations follow a similar route. Never forget that markets are ruled by psychology. When people get their backs pushed to the ultimate wall, someone usually cracks and a deal gets done. It just depends on who cracks. I'll be back with a full length column next week. Happy New Year.

DANVERS — A well-liked teacher was found beaten to death in woods behind this quiet Massachusetts town's high school, and a 14-year-old boy who was found walking along a state highway overnight was charged with killing her. The victim, Colleen Ritzer, 24, is a graduate of Assumption College in Worcester and taught for a year at Hale Middle School in Stow.
Blood found in a second-floor school bathroom helped lead investigators to the body of Colleen Ritzer, a 24-year-old math teacher at Danvers High School who was reported missing when she didn't come home from work on Tuesday, Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said.
"She was a very, very respected, loved teacher," Blodgett said.
The suspect, Philip Chism, was arraigned on a murder charge Wednesday and ordered held without bail. The teenager, described by classmates as soft-spoken and pleasant, also did not come home from school the day before and was spotted walking along Route 1 in the neighboring town of Topsfield at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Prosecutors said in court that Chism beat Ritzer to death.
A court filing said Ritzer and Chism were known to each other from the high school, but it did not elaborate. The arrest was made based on statements by the suspect and corroborating evidence at multiple scenes, investigators said in court documents.
Ritzer's family said they are mourning the death of their "amazing, beautiful daughter and sister."
"Everyone that knew and loved Colleen knew of her passion for teaching and how she mentored each and every one of her students," the family said in a statement provided by her uncle Dale Webster.
At his arraignment in adult court in Salem, Chism's defense attorney argued for the proceeding to be closed and her client to be allowed to stay hidden because of his age. The judge denied the request. The lawyer, Denise Regan, declined to comment outside court.
The tall, lanky teenager had moved to Massachusetts from Tennessee before the start of the school year and was a top scorer on the school's junior varsity soccer team, said Kyle Cahill, a junior who also plays soccer. He said the team had been wondering where Chism was when he skipped a team dinner Tuesday night.
"We're all just a family. It just amazes me really," Cahill said. "He wasn't violent at all. He was really the opposite of aggressive."
Ritzer had a Twitter account where she gave homework assignments, encouraged students and described herself as a "math teacher often too excited about the topics I'm teaching."
She was a 2011 graduate of Assumption College in Worcester, a school spokeswoman said Wednesday. She graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor of arts degree in math, a minor in psychology and a secondary education concentration, according to the college's 2011 commencement program.
She was working on a master's degree at Salem State University, according to The Boston Globe.
One of her former students, Chris Weimert, 17, said she was a warm, welcoming person who would stand outside her classroom and say hello to students she didn't teach. He said she had been at the school for two years.
"She was the nicest teacher anyone could ever have. She always had a warm smile on her face," he said.
Ryan Kelleher, a senior, said students related to the young teacher, who liked to wear jeans and UGG boots just like the teenagers she taught. Kelleher, who also plays soccer, said the arrest of the soft-spoken Chism didn't make sense to him.
"From what I know about him and seeing him every day, it just doesn't add up that he would do such a thing, unless this was all an act to fool somebody," the 17-year-old said.
Ritzer lived at home with her 20-year-old brother and her sister, a high school senior. The close-knit family was often outside, barbecuing, spending time together and enjoying each other's company, neighbors said.
Mary Duffy has lived next door to the Ritzers in the suburban neighborhood in Andover since the family moved there more than two decades ago. She had known Colleen Ritzer from the time she was a baby and said the Ritzers' oldest child had just one life ambition: to be a high school math teacher.
"All I ever heard is that she loved her job," Duffy said.
All public schools in Danvers were closed Wednesday.
The high school's students were planning a candlelight vigil Wednesday evening.
Assumption College President Francesco Cesareo issued a statement Wednesday afternoon:
"The Assumption College campus community mourns the tragic death of Colleen Elizabeth Ritzer, a 2011 alumna who graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and a minor in psychology with a concentration in secondary education. Colleen worked as a math teacher at Danvers High School and will be missed by all those who knew her. The Assumption community will keep Colleen's family members in its thoughts and prayers during this time of great sorrow and loss. We pray that God will give them strength and comfort during these difficult days and commend Colleen to God's loving presence."
Michael Wood, superintendent of the Nashoba Regional School District, said Ms. Ritzer taught eighth-grade math at Hale Middle School in Stow during the 2011-12 school year.
"I remember her as someone who loved math and really wanted to teach at the high school level," Mr. Wood said. "Her passion was to teach high school math. She was a very full of life person and had her whole future ahead of her."
Mr. Wood called the reported details of Ms. Ritzer's death "horrific and disheartening."
School officials are working on setting up support services for students and teachers who knew Ms. Ritzer.
Ritzer is the second teacher allegedly killed by a student in the U.S. this week. A Sparks, Nev., middle school teacher was allegedly shot by a 12-year-old student on Monday.

Not many applications I work on these days are solely using the traditional server-side rendering model. Neither do they employ 100% client-side rendering and templating. Usually it's a mix in which the 'old' world meets the new world, giving rise to some interesting design decisions. In this article I want to explore a solution that combines both worlds while minimizing the duplication of rendering logic by embedding JSON in the view.
Let's introduce a simple example to illustrate the JSON embedding trick. It's
Cut Out Back Peep Toe Stiletto Heel Sandals Black xeoNxbH9o
, with several branches showing different approaches. Say we have a screen containing a product list with paging:
After the initial request to the server, the first page of products is shown. Once the page is shown, we want the paging links to be AJAX-enabled: no full page reloads. The server just returns JSON representing the products and the client renders them in a table.
We have two main goals:
Think about how you would implement this example. Strictly speaking, you can't really prevent duplicated logic. On the one hand, you need to render the table with the products from page one server-side on the initial request. Like in this JSP/JQuery based example:
Then you also need to construct the table again after a successful paging AJAX call:
(only do this when you can guarantee the concatenated strings are properly escaped!)
It's not just the grunt work of building the table rows again. Notice how we need to add the em-tag around the description in both templates. We can already see how specific duplication is creeping in. And real-world examples have an order of magnitude more complexity! By the way, the point I want to make in this post is agnostic of the Javascript framework used. You can use your favorite Javascript templating/MVC library (too many to choose from!), I just picked plain JQuery since everybody is familiar with it. Of course the same goes for the server-side library: this issue crops with Rails, Django, and any 'traditional' webframework.
How to prevent this mess? One option is to emit an empty placeholder table on the server-side, and to trigger an AJAX call from the client-side once the page has loaded to fill it with page one products. Twitter popularized this method for a while with its web-based timeline. Even though this moves all rendering of the paginated calls to the client, the solution unfortunately violates our second goal: a smooth user-experience. The user first sees an empty table which is later filled:
Depending on the network latency the effects range from nearly unnoticeable to very annoying. In my
I added a 400ms delay to illustrate the effect of the additional roundtrip. Deferring the rendering of the complete page until the Ajax call completes is even worse. And think of how this would scale with many components on the page using this approach (hint: there is a

to the amount of concurrent connections browsers make).

The abbreviated trading week finished with a larger-than-two-percent value loss in gold and with not much fresh taking of major positions by market participants in the precious metals complex. In the wake of the deep losses incurred on Tuesday and on Wednesday the markets basically treaded water awaiting any lead from the Friday jobs report or from perhaps crude oil, copper, or the equity sector. The US dollar climbed once again before Good Friday, this time vaulting to above the pivotal 80.00 figure on the trade-weighted index, as additional constructive news was received from the US jobs and consumer scenes. Friday was a bit of a different story however, as you will see below.
According to Daily FX's technical analyst Ilya Spivak, spot gold hovered near the $1,625 area after having taken out the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion support figure at $1,634.76 and challenging the 50% level of same at $1,615.46 per ounce. Should a breach of that number take place, the immediate target points to the $1,596.15 mark, i.e. the 61.8% Fibonacci level.
The weekly Bloomberg survey of gold traders reported yesterday that for the first time in 2012 the group was bearish on gold in the wake of the Fed's signal that additional monetary stimulus may not take place. Bloomberg also reported that, as of yesterday, spot gold's 100-day moving average dropped below the 200-day measure for the first time in three years last week, reinforcing a bearish trend, UBS said in a report yesterday. Its 14-day relative-strength index is at 37.7, with a level of 30 indicating to some analysts that a rebound may be due. Whether or not that bounce was over with Thursday's $10 gain, remains to be seen.
As well, the Bloomberg-surveyed gold trade appears to be apprehensive about India's jewelers' strike, now entering its third week. There are reports that Indian gold imports may have plunged by 81% in March and that they may drop by 40% in Q2. India's gold baubles vendors normally move more gold in one year than the cumulative output of US and Australian mines. Their actions (and current inaction) bear close watching. However, on a more macro-level, the conditions that helped boost gold values quite significantly over recent years-a weak dollar and negative growth in global economies-appear to both be undergoing a shift which could make gold not quite as attractive within the commodity asset class as it has previously been.
This is the paradigm of the moment, according to Fidelity's multi-asset fund manager, Trevor Greetham, who currently sees crude oil as being a superior hedge in safe-haven or inflation-protection terms. Meanwhile, Marketwatch's regular contributor, Chuck Jaffe, notes that "what's interesting about the market's current decline in gold is that it has come on days that, just a year ago, would have sent investors running to gold for protection. Gold's allure as a refuge amid crises seems to have been reduced, if only because the economy has picked up and talk of worst-case scenarios playing out in the United States and Europe has abated."
As regards silver, the white metal is seen by the aforementioned Mr. Spivak as "consolidating beneath the resistance level of $32.93 and exhibiting a head-and-shoulders setup that broadly implies a downside target at $26.4 per ounce." A Reuters report appearing on CNBC yesterday suggests that record-high mine supply and sudden doubts about demand are casting "a long shadow over silver's underlying fundamentals."
One market observer, Angelos Damaskos, the CEO of Sector Investment Management notes that "the dislocation in the valuation between the very sharply rising gold price and silver, which underperformed for 10 years, was so large that the investment community jumped on the bandwagon and drove its price high within a year. Now we are back to the normal situation, where silver behaves much more like industrial metal. Investors are no longer looking at it as a safe-haven asset. It will probably underperform for a good few years." We had described the fundamentals flaws at work in the silver market some time ago in these columns.
As for platinum and palladium, well, the fundamentals-flavored market news and the value projections continue to be comparatively superior to those we are finding for gold and (especially) silver. BNP Paribas figures that palladium's fundamentals will show steady improvement during the current year. The firm is projecting a 2012 palladium supply deficit as well as an average price of US$825.00 per ounce for the noble metal.

When Pat Buchanan showed up to tout his new book on Tim Russert's CNBC show, Russert asked about his recent lunch date with Lenora Fulani, former presidential candidate of the New Alliance Party. Russert described her as "a black-nationalist Marxist." Buchanan narrowed his eyes. "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Lenora Fulani," he began.
Buchanan's comic timing accomplished the deadpan demolition of a redbaiting reporter whose knowledge of Fulani was limited. But Buchanan's emerging joint venture with Fulani and her guru, Fred Newman, could have a major impact on the 2000 presidential race. And Marxism has nothing to do with it. Should Buchanan make the leap into third-party politics, the Fulani faction, a psychotherapy-and-politics sect now a power center in the Reform Party, would provide a foundation for his nomination bid. But Fulani–whose past allegiances have boxed the compass from Jew-baiting Louis Farrakhan to Abe Hirschfeld, the Jewish New York real estate developer and former New York Post owner now on trial for hiring a hit man to kill his former business partner–may gain more than Buchanan from the deal. Already, Fulani has found media credibility as the ostensible left-winger in the Reform movement. Recently Fulani has framed Buchanan as "a mighty powerful spokesperson for issues of political reform" whose appeal is "beyond ideology–beyond issues of left, center and right."
There are pragmatic reasons for this strange new alliance. Buchanan would like Fulani's support; her Reform Party faction was strong enough to secure her 45 percent of the delegate vote in the party's recent election for vice chair. But it isn't just a case of mutual opportunism. The Buchanan-Fulani partnership exposes a dangerously corrupt corner of a third party founded on the promise of cleaning up US politics. It also reveals some of the ideological contours of Buchanan's campaign, which should alarm those progressives who may have been wondering whether Buchanan, despite his right-wing social agenda, could emerge as an attractive populist challenger to corporate globalization.
Ballot-Access Kings
The name Lenora Fulani has only the faintest resonance today. But in 1988 and 1992, Fulani gained minor celebrity running for President on the New Alliance Party line. Her re-emergence at Pat Buchanan's lunch table calls for a quick refresher course on one of the longest-touring snake-oil shows in American politics.
What is now the Fulani faction within the Reform Party began life in the early seventies on New York's Upper West Side as one of the many political sects active in the final days of the New Left. Fred Newman, a philosophy PhD, came up with the idea of bridging quasi-Marxist politics and encounter psychotherapy. Newman and a small cluster of his followers established an experimental therapy practice based on the idea of curing psychic ills through political engagement–engagement directed by Newman that involved recruiting clients and their checkbooks for the Newmanites' own electoral campaigns and other enterprises, and intimidating and harassing critics.

OK. Sister Priness was a nice little franchise to me. (Save for the nonsense of the animes)
But this is taking a big bold step forward by introducing 19 Characters that range from infancy to adulthood, age 0 to age 18......
Even for a lolicon such as I, I'm not exactly too keen on this.

It's a new franchise by Dengeki G's. Most likely will spawn multiple merchandise like how Sister Princess did. Games, animes, novels, etc.....
I'm only interested to see how far will they take this using the crazy setting of all 19 characters being blood related siblings.

#3 Watayuki (Mystery Loli With Haunted Look)
#2 Rikka (Spunky Loli )
#1 Fubuki (Based simply on the fact she looks like she's looking down on me)
I feel kind of dirty now.
Anyway there's no way I could watch an anime of this because I simply cannot bring myself to sit through any series where there is anything more than a 2:1 ratio of female to male characters, unless there's a sub plot that involves something other than slapstick comedy or helping the girl to solve her minor problem that if she was anything resembling competent she could solve on her own. Somehow I imagine that it will be the solve the girls problems plotline and with an 18:1 ratio I don't think it would be a very exciting watch other than to moeblob.

Not requesting torrents (don't wanna get my ass banned), but if this show ever gets screened on TV, it will be well advised to Tivo/Tape/DVD this show in its 3D format and invest yourself a pair of 3D glasses to watch this show the way its meant to be watched.
If this show adequately showcases the potential of this new genre, then Last Exile 3D would VERY well be worth looking forward to.

Wow, okay... Like Kaioshin, I'm not a fan of the 'overwhelming harem' genre, aka more that 5. But miraculously I've manage to find some genuine form of enjoyment out of this despite it's premise and it's... Well, everything else
That said, this is definitely NOT for people who have absolutely anything else to do
Despite the overwhelming number of girls, a few does stand out of the crowd... I've finally mellowed to the age where I can appreciate mature girls... But not so much that I've given up my love for tsunderes
