Exhibition | Open Studio in Amsterdam
by Per Jansson
Open studio at Atelier WG artist community in Amsterdam. In my small studio in this community I am showing portraits of Jean-Luc Littière. Jean-Luc became HIV-positive in the the late 1980's on a trip to the US. Being gay and cooperative and thinking this will not happen to me, he did participate in a research program at the university hospital in Amsterdam to have his blood checked regularly as from 1986. In 1988 he was found to be HIV-positive. In 1998, 10 years later, he developed AIDS and became terminally ill. Being French, on his own, and having no family in the Netherlands, and thus quite alone during his illness, he was not expected to make it for a long time. But somewhere far down during the descent to end of life, he did for some reason turn, and came back up.
When I met him in 2002 he was already recovering very well, walking around the block to the gym using a rollator, and living at home again. He was back in his gym to build up his strength, and that it is where I met him.
In 2002 I portrayed him for the first time and then a couple of times more until 2006 and he shared his life with me as we became friends.
He died in March 2007, in his home, and was found on his couch.
This notion of no matter what happened, he wanted to get back up and build up his strength again, is one side of his character that impressed me. But even stronger was his positive outlook on every day of life and regaining his strengths no matter what. That was feeding his strength. This has really stayed with me in my memory of him.
I still miss him, and will always do.

Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies say report that this 24-year-old employee at Jack's restaurant in Alabama finished his shift Friday and left work. Nothing wrong with that. Sadly, minutes later, he returned with a mask, wielded a gun, and demanded money.
Trouble is, his efforts at disguising himself were so poor that several employees recognized him. They initially thought he was joking. He wasn't. He robbed the restaurant, taking with him an undisclosed amount of cash. After he left, the manager called 911 and reported the holdup.
It took restaurant worker Yaneth Ardon just seconds to recognize Pace.
'I was like, "is this a joke, is he playing or something,"' Ardon said.
'When I heard him talk and I was like, "that is him", but then I saw him with a gun and I was like, "why is he doing this?'''
"Apparently he needs to work on that disguise a little," said Chief Deputy Randy Christian.
Sensing that, perhaps he hadn't bungled the robbery enough, authorities said the robbery suspect showed up Monday to visit with co-workers. That coincided with a visit from a sheriff's detective who was there doing employee interviews about the robberies.
The 24-year-old criminal mastermind is currently in jail and is expected to be charged with first-degree robbery.

Lot owners in Saline County, including the Hot Springs Village Property Owners' Association, should consider appealing their real-property appraisals, board director Jeff Atkins told fellow directors last Wednesday.
The deadline for filing an appeal with a county equalization board for real property is Aug. 19 — the annual deadline is the third Monday in August. Requests must be filed through the county clerk's office.
Atkins, who feels an appeal is purely an administrative function, told the board he appealed the value of his Saline County lots last year, and won tax reductions on many of them.
Atkins feels the POA should appeal to reduce its tax bill, and he urged other owners to appeal, as well. The POA owns more than 2,000 lots in Garland and Saline counties.
He said Garland has fairly assessed its real estate, but many Saline assessments are high.
He made the comments during the time for director comments. Atkins had earlier asked to place the item on the agenda, but his motion failed on a 2-3 vote, with director Frank Leeming voting to place it on the agenda, and directors Bobbie Bateman, Tom Bryant and Harv Shelton opposed.
Vice president John Cooney didn't vote, as he was presiding in the absence of president Keith Keck.

Hillsborough-northern judicial district
No. 2001-053
Argued: February 6, 2002
Opinion Issued: April 17, 2002
Law Offices of Randall E. Wilbert, of Nashua (Randall E. Wilbert on the brief and orally), for the plaintiff.
Holland, Donovan, Beckett & Hermans, PA, of Exeter (Stephen G. Hermans on the brief and orally), for the defendant.
Broderick, J. The plaintiff, Patricia Panciocco, appeals the decision of the Superior Court (Conboy, J.) granting summary judgment to the defendant, Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation. We affirm.
The record supports the following facts. On August 12, 1999, the plaintiff purchased a parcel of land on which she intended to build a house. On the same date, she purchased a title insurance policy, which was issued by the defendant the next day. In October, after site preparation for the house construction had begun, abutters Anita and George Varrato brought an action in superior court to quiet title and for injunctive relief, asserting that the plaintiff was trespassing on their property and that they had obtained title to a portion of the plaintiff's land by adverse possession. Specifically, the Varratos asserted that the plaintiff cut trees from their land, placed lot line stakes in the middle of their septic system and encroached approximately thirty feet onto their property. The plaintiff provided notice of the Varratos' claims to the defendant and requested a defense and coverage under the title insurance policy.
The defendant denied coverage because it perceived the Varratos' litigation as involving claims for adverse possession and disputed boundary lines, which it claimed are excepted from coverage under Schedule B of the plaintiff's policy. The policy states:
SUBJECT TO THE EXCLUSIONS FROM COVERAGE, THE EXCEPTIONS FROM COVERAGE CONTAINED IN SCHEDULE B AND THE CONDITIONS AND STIPULATIONS, LAWYERS TITLE INSURANCE CORPORATION, . . . insures . . . against loss or damage . . . sustained or incurred by the insured by reason of:
1. Title to the estate or interest described in Schedule A being vested other than as stated therein;
2. Any defect in or lien or encumbrance on the title;
3. Unmarketability of the title;
4. Lack of a right of access to and from the land.
. . . .
This policy does not insure against loss or damage (and the Company will not pay costs, attorneys' fees or expenses) which arise by reason of:
. . . .
1. Rights or claims of persons in possession.
2. Easements or claims of easements not shown by the public records, boundary-line disputes, overlaps, encroachments, title to filled lands (if any) and any matters not of record which would be disclosed by an accurate survey and inspection of the premises.
In April 2000, the plaintiff filed a petition for declaratory judgment, seeking a declaration that her policy obligated the defendant to provide both a defense and coverage for the Varratos' suit. See RSA 491:22 (1997). The defendant moved for summary judgment. After determining that no genuine issues of material fact existed, the trial court interpreted the policy language excepting coverage for "rights or claims of persons in possession" and "matters not of record which would be disclosed by an accurate survey and inspection of the premises" to include claims for adverse possession. The court also concluded that the policy clearly and unambiguously excepted from coverage actions involving boundary-line disputes and encroachments. Because it found that the Varratos' claims fell within these policy exceptions, the court granted the defendant's motion. The plaintiff's motion for reconsideration was denied, and this appeal followed.
On appeal, the plaintiff argues that the trial court erred by granting the defendant's motion for summary judgment because: (1) genuine issues of material fact existed; and (2) her policy is ambiguous and thus should be construed according to the reasonable expectations of the policy holder. Additionally, the plaintiff argues that the title insurance policy is unconscionable as a matter of law and, therefore, the defendant should be required to provide her with a defense and coverage.
In acting upon a motion for summary judgment, the trial court is required to construe the pleadings, discovery and affidavits in the light most favorable to the non-moving party to determine whether the proponent has established the absence of a dispute over any material fact and the right to judgment as a matter of law. Singh v. Therrien Management Corp., 140 N.H. 355, 356-57 (1995). The party objecting to a motion for summary judgment "may not rest upon mere allegations or denials of his [or her] pleadings, but his [or her] response, by affidavits or by reference to depositions, answers to interrogatories, or admissions, must set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue [of material fact] for trial." RSA 491:8-a, IV (1997). An issue of fact is material if it affects the outcome of the litigation. Horse Pond Fish & Game Club v. Cormier, 133 N.H. 648, 653 (1990).
To determine whether the trial court erred in granting the defendant's motion, we consider the affidavits and other evidence, as well as all proper inferences therefrom, in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. Dover Mills Partnership v. Comm. Union Ins. Cos., 144 N.H. 336, 337 (1999). If we find no genuine issue of material fact and that the defendant was entitled to judgment as a matter of law, we will affirm the trial court's decision. See id.
The interpretation of the language of an insurance policy is ultimately a question of law for us to decide. See Concord Hosp. v. N.H. Medical Malpractice Joint Underwriting Assoc., 137 N.H. 680, 682 (1993). Where disputed terms are not defined in a policy or by State judicial precedent, we apply an objective standard, construing the terms in context and as would a reasonable person in the position of the insured, based upon more than a casual reading of the policy as a whole. Id. at 682-83. If the policy language may reasonably be interpreted in more than one way and one interpretation supports coverage, any ambiguity is construed in favor of the insured and against the insurer. High Country Assocs. v. N.H. Ins. Co., 139 N.H. 39, 41 (1994). Absent ambiguity, however, our search for the parties' intent is limited to the words of the policy. Concord Hosp., 137 N.H. at 686.
The plaintiff first argues that numerous issues of material fact existed relating to the interpretation of her title insurance policy as well as the nature and effect of the lawsuit filed by the Varratos. We disagree. An insurer's obligation to defend suits, including groundless ones, is generally limited to only those claims for which it has assumed liability under the terms of its policy. Hersey v. Maryland Casualty Co., 102 N.H. 541, 542-43 (1960). Thus, the ultimate question in the declaratory judgment action was whether the Varratos' claims brought their cause of action within the express terms of the plaintiff's title insurance policy. To make such a determination, the trial court properly examined the relevant portions of the policy along with the Varratos' pleadings. See Green Mt. Ins. Co. v. Foreman, 138 N.H. 440, 441-42 (1994). As the trial court noted, interpretation of policy language is an issue of law, not fact. See Concord Hosp., 137 N.H. at 682. Similarly, the determination of whether the underlying litigation falls outside the bounds of coverage is an issue of law for the court to decide. See Green Mt. Ins. Co., 138 N.H. at 442.
The plaintiff also argues that there was a genuine issue of fact as to whether the defendant violated its duty of good faith and fair dealing by failing to deliver the insurance policy to her before she closed on the property. The defendant does not dispute that the policy was issued the day following the closing. Whether this constituted a breach of the defendant's duty of good faith and fair dealing is a question of law properly decided by the trial court and had no bearing on the outcome of the declaratory judgment action. Accordingly, we hold that, based upon the pleadings and affidavits before it, the trial court was correct in concluding that there was no genuine issue of material fact before it on this issue.
The plaintiff further argues that the title insurance policy was ambiguous and should be construed in accordance with her reasonable expectations. She contends that, before interpreting the policy, the trial court was required to hear testimony and receive evidence about her expectations of the policy's coverage. We disagree. As a preliminary matter, we note that the plaintiff misapprehends the analysis. In construing undefined policy terms, we apply an objective standard, based upon what a reasonable person in the position of the insured would understand. Concord Hosp., 137 N.H. at 682-83. Therefore, we need not consider the plaintiff's subjective expectations of the policy's coverage.
The policy before us insures, among other things, against loss or damage sustained as a result of unmarketability of title subject to the exceptions contained in Schedule B. Schedule B specifically excludes from coverage rights or claims of persons in possession, boundary-line disputes and encroachments. Although not defined in the policy, "the provision concerning claims by persons in possession is a standard exception from coverage [in title insurance policies] specifically relating to claims like adverse possession." 11 L. Russ & T. Segalla, Couch on Insurance 3d § 159:70 (1998). While not determinative, such an interpretation has been adopted by other jurisdictions. See, e.g., Cheverly v. Ticor, 642 A.2d 285, 288 (Md. App. 1994). The rationale for excluding claims of parties in possession has been well stated.
When a person, who does not appear in the chain of title, is found in possession of property it may indicate, for example, that he is making claim to the property by adverse possession, or that he is claiming under an unrecorded deed. A title examiner, however, seldom visits the land the title to which he is concerned with. Thus, both to protect themselves and to put their client on notice of this state of affairs, title examiners and title insurance companies generally exclude from their title opinions and policies claims of parties in actual possession of the land insured.
Id. at 289 (quotation omitted). "[G]enerally, 'possession' within the context of title insurance policies refers to an open, visible and exclusive use." Id. at 288 (quotation omitted).
In their pleadings, the Varratos assert that they occupied the land at issue "openly, continuously, exclusively, under claim of right, and adversely," thereby obtaining it through adverse possession, and that the plaintiff crossed over a boundary line and encroached on their property. These claims were expressly excepted from coverage by the policy's unambiguous language excluding rights or claims of persons in possession, boundary-line disputes and encroachments, and thus the plaintiff could not reasonably expect coverage. Accordingly, we hold that the plaintiff was not entitled to coverage under the terms of the policy and that the defendant was entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
Lastly, the plaintiff argues that the title insurance policy was unconscionable because she was not aware of the exceptions from coverage until after the conveyance, when she actually received the policy. In addition, she argues that the policy, as written, was unconscionable. We need not address these arguments because they were not raised before the trial court and thus were not preserved for appeal. See Dube v. Town of Hudson, 140 N.H. 135, 138 (1995).
BROCK, C.J., and NADEAU, DALIANIS and DUGGAN, JJ., concurred.

Hoodia Gordonii Pure Diet Pill Reviewed
As the name would suggest the main active ingredient in this weight loss ingredient is Hoodia Gordonii. Those who know anything about weight loss products will know that Hoodia Gordonii is one of the most popular ingredients in weight loss products available for sale on the market today. Hoodia Gordonii is derived from a cactus which grows in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa.
The main active ingredient in Pure Hoodia X is of course Hoodia Gordonii. While pure Hoodia Gordonii diet pills can be ordered directly from the official website at a price of $99.91 for a 2 month supply, such higher costs place Hoodia Gordonii Pure diet pills price range at the higher end of weight loss products with hoodia.
You are told to take one to two pills before breakfast, one to two pills before lunch and then another one to two before bedtime. We were unable to fiind any evidence which would lead us to believe that Pure Hoodia X is more effective than other weight loss products.
Pure Hoodia Gordonii is very expensive to purchase. There is no evidence that Pure Hoodia X is more effective than other weight loss products which contain Hoodia Gordonii as a major active ingredient. Moreover we were unable to locate all the pre-requiste certifications of pure authentic hoodia gordonii including the USDA protected plant permit and Phytosanitary hoodia permit. When it comes to pure Hoodia, these certifications are critical to insure you are receive the real deal. Make sure you find these documents on the Hoodia product web site prior to your purchase. Unfortunately Hoodia Pure diet pills did not display all the certifications described.

Claude was passionate about everything he undertook, but particularly focused his attention on the three 'C's': cooking - he was an exceptional cook and enjoyed entertaining Friends and family construction - he had a talent for creating solutions to complicated problems in the apartment and at the cottage in Magog; and Christena - he advised her on her career and life choices throughout their Friendship of 39 years and their marriage of 32 years. One day, we will be able to make sense of losing this insightful, kind and considerate husband and friend. We will keep the faith until that day. There will be visitation at the Centre Funeraire Cote-desNeiges, 4525 chemin de la Cote-des-Neiges, 1-888-3426565 on Wednesday, May 14, 2008 from 17: 00 to 21:00. The funeral will take place on Thursday, May 15, 2008 at 10: 30 at St. Patrick's Basilica, 460 Boulevard Rene-Levesque West. Should you wish, donations in Claude's memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.

Much has been said about data-driven design and more broadly decision-making in the past years, and while data need to play increasingly more important role, we should speak of data-informed design rather than data-driven design. The distinction is important if a company wants to avoid the potential pitfall of blindly following what data may suggest.
A famous quote by Edward Deming sums up this view perfectly. Deming points out that data can answer many questions, but asking the right ones is the key. Every business owner or entrepreneur competing in the digital economy should learn to use data insights when making decisions. They should also understand how to improve their conversion funnel on their website or mobile app so that their hard work brings more profit.
During the design process, there are several different times at which data may be important in informing the designers but perhaps never as critical as during the initial stages when the problem/product is first defined and then in the testing stages when the potential solutions are evaluated by target customer segments. As you can imagine, solving the wrong problem very well still does not provide a proper solution and thus it is key to identify the problem clearly. It is also important to always remember to take into account prior experience and other available knowledge. Some tips that should help you use your data most effectively:
Be strategic, know what you want to discover
Have a vision of what you will do with the data once collected. Know why you are collecting your data and what questions you expect to answer.
Example: For example, you may wish to understand why people are leaving your mobile application or a website. Funnel analysis is the perfect tool that can help you understand what your app users might find confusing and where they are dropping off. Understanding these breakdowns in their journey is important, so that you can streamline your conversion funnel and make well-informed changes. For example, if you find out that your users are finding your two-step authorisation burdensome, you can consider making changes to your requirements if two-step authorisation is not mandatory for your industry.
Collect correct, not easy-to-get information
We all love to feel accomplished and sometimes it seems much easier to complete a task just to complete it, rather than to complete it as well as it can be done. However when it comes to data, you will lose in the long run if you choose to collect easy to get data instead of data that is really necessary in order to give you appropriate feedback regarding your problem.
Example: Don't just consider pageviews but look at click through rates, engagements, activations or bounce rates for a better understanding of your page's success. Try to understand what the people are doing on your page, get to know your conversion funnel well and understand which subpage of your webpage might turn people off. Similarly understand what part of your mobile app people like to interact with most. It may be better to have 10,000 highly engaged visitors than 50,000 visitors who spend only seconds on your page before leaving and not engaging with your content. Similarly, if your end goal is to increase response rates to some call to action button placed on your website, don't measure increase in page visits but measure increase in CTA conversions.
Data tell stories about people
It is important to always remember that when we are collecting data, whether it is using A/B tests, analytics, interviews or surveys that what we are ultimately collecting is people's perceptions or use of our products. Thus when we interpret these results, we should always remember to interpret them keeping the people in mind who are behind the data. Here it will be crucial to collect data using an appropriate market segment rather than an opportunistic group in order to get the best information. The best group to consider are always actual users and this can be done even before launching your final product by collecting data using your MVP.
Example: Two people are never the same but there are groups of people that behave similarly. People analytics helps you understand your customers, their likes, dislikes and also their activities prior to using your product and after they are done. Better understanding of their activities can help you customise their experience. You may be able to re-engage some using notifications, even send them reminders telling them they left something in the shopping cart. You may also find out that 80% of your customers spend majority of their time using a particular feature of your product. Perhaps improving this app feature and giving them an even greater experience will bring you the greatest returns. Additionally, analytic tools are now able to predict users' behaviours before they ever take them allowing you to spend your time on customers that are the most likely to convert.
This was just a brief overview of what to consider when trying to understand your customers. Some of the tools we use at PLATFORM Digital Agency are Google Analytics, Mixpanel and VWO. All of them allow us to understand the user's journey so that we can optimise our mobile app and web designs for our clients. However, it is important to note there are many other tools you could use.
Shift your subjective assumptions from we think to we know.
In summary, when data are used to understand the core problem, designers and decision makers can move faster and more efficiently to propose correct solutions for website and mobile app designs. When used correctly, data can be viewed as a roadmap to guide decisions and allow designers to arrive at their destination faster and with better precision. In other words, data cannot provide all the answers but data can provide valuable insights.

Bernanke's Delicate Steps: As usual, the Breaking News Desk got the honor of keeping close track of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's appearance before Congress today -- and writing the onscreen graphics (also known as "dekos") to accompany him.
I'm proud to say I managed to sum up his most market-moving words in a mere 34 dekos -- 14 from his testimony, 20 from his Q&A, and not a single misspelling in any of them! If you think this is a trivial accomplishment -- well, it might be. But the possibility of putting a screw-up on the air for all to see is mighty scary.
Monitoring any type of Congressional testimony can be arduous. But judging by Bernanke's past few appearances, you've got to admire his ability to address issues in a straightforward manner -- while still providing fodder for both the bulls and the bears simultaneously. What follows are a few examples of what I mean, with bull versus bear characterizations that are all mine, of course:
Bulls: The subprime problem seems "contained."
Bears: The subprime problem has helped make near-term housing prospects uncertain.
Bulls: Inflation expectations appear contained.
Bears: Fed's biggest concern is that inflation won't ebb.
Bulls: Recession doesn't appear imminent.
Bears: Economic uncertainty has increased.
Just a few examples of "something for everybody." The bears had the upper hand, but the market did cut its losses substantially after the chairman finished his appearance.
I Love Ticker Trivia: I have an undying fascination with ticker symbols. Don't ask me why, but I do. Luckily, others share my fascination, so when retailer Federated Department Stores announced it would adopt the ticker symbol "M" after it changes its corporate name to Macy's, I immediately launched a full-scale investigation of M's history. It didn't take all that long, and it turned up some facts that were interesting to ... well, at least me.
Turns out that the magic M has been the subject of much discussion in the past. Neither "M" nor "I" have been in use, and there's been speculation that they were being reserved for the day when Microsoft or Intel would decide to defect from the Nasdaq to the NYSE.
That day hasn't arrived, and judging by today's news, no one at Microsoft ever made a reservation for "M." The NYSE told CNBC's Robert Hum that no tickers are "reserved," and any open symbol is available for eligible customers.
"M," by the way, hasn't been used since the late 1980s, when it was the ticker for MCorp, a financial services holding company that was split up and sold. That will come in handy the next time you appear on Jeopardy, believe me.
"I" remains available for Intel, should it ever make the move. Microsoft, on the other hand, would have to make do with a different symbol. Unless, of course, it decides to buy Macy's.

WALDOBORO, Maine — A pit bull that attacked two members of its family Saturday remained in quarantine Wednesday as police worked to reconstruct the dog's history in an attempt to determine whether it is an inherently dangerous animal.
Waldoboro Police Chief Bill Labombarde said the 10-day quarantine is required by state law after any dog attack.
Police and rescue workers went to 230 Kaler's Corner Road in Waldoboro just after 7 p.m. Saturday to find a 12-year-old girl and 13-year-old boy suffering from injuries that Labombarde said were not life-threatening. Both victims were treated at the scene for multiple bites and then taken to Miles Memorial Hospital in Damariscotta. They have since been released.
Labombarde said the victims' grandfather was outside when he heard screaming. He responded to find the dog's jaw clamped on his grandson's arm. He pried the animal's jaws loose and locked the dog in a room by itself. Authorities later took the dog to Lincoln County Humane Society but the animal was transferred to another facility Tuesday.
Labombarde said the injuries caused by the attack were serious, but declined to provide details, citing confidentiality rules. He said the victims are "doing fine" Wednesday and recovering from their injuries.
Police and an animal control officer continue to investigate the attack. Labombarde said the outstanding issues include whether charges for keeping a dangerous dog are appropriate for the owners, as well as whether the dog will be euthanized. The latter issue could be decided by the owner, though Labombarde said it's possible that police could use an ex parte order if they decide the dog is too dangerous to be in the community.
"It's always best to get the owner's cooperation, and I see no problem with that in this case," said Labombarde. "We're acting in the best interest of public safety."
Labombarde said the dog, which the family has had for more than a year, is current on its vaccinations. Asked whether he has an opinion about the safety of pit bulls as family pets, he said he has seen this breed and others go both ways and that how the dog is treated during its life is a key factor.
"I've seen people have pit bulls and they're the sweetest dog in the world," said Labombarde. "I've seen other pit bulls that are just nasty. I've seen both sides of the spectrum with those animals."

Well here is the start on the fantastic cast of NCIS…
Michael Weatherly was born Michael Manning Weatherly, Jr. on July 8th, 1968 New York City. He grew up in Fairfield, Connecticut and has 5 sisters and 1 brother. Michael graduated from Brooks School in North Andover, Massachusetts, in 1986. He attended American University of Paris for two years. I read a funny story about Michael about when he was living in the red-light district in Paris, he was 19 at the time and was attending the American University. Anyways he got to know the ladies of the evening as he made his way to and from school, but says he was too broke to ever "visit" with them. He recalled: "So my mom came to visit, of course, and we are walking down the street and every hooker is, 'Bonjour Michael.' And I am, "Mom, they don't know me. They just see me all the time." My mom was, 'There are a lot of ladies in the neighborhood.'
Michael had a passion for music and actually played in a band while pursuing his career. He contributed the song Bitter and Blue to the second soundtrack album of NCIS. The success of the song led to Michael recording several more songs, including "Pretty Baby", "All Fall Apart", "Lovlihead", and "Suffer for Me".
Michael's acting career started on The Cosby Show playing Theo Huxtable's roommate in 1991. He went onto starring in the soap opera called Loving (I remember seeing Michael for the first time on this show, loved him!) he played Cooper Alden and his onscreen love interest was Stephanie "Steffi" Brewster (Amelia Heinle, "The Young and the Restless" – Victoria Newman).

King, Greg Vaughan & Karis Paige Bryant.
He starred in Dark Angel for the two seasons it was on the air. He became romantically involved with the star of the show Jessica Alba, which eventually lead to their engagement in 2002, they broke it off.
In 2003, he appeared in JAG as Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo. JAG starred David James Elliott, Catherine Bell and Patrick Labyorteaux. Michael continues playing Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo in NCIS which also stars, Mark Harmon as Senior Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Cote de Pablo as Probationary NCIS Agent Ziva David, Sean Murray as Special Agent Timothy McGee, Pauley Perrette as Forensic Specialist Abby Sciuto, David McCallum as Chief Medical Examiner Donald Mallard, Rocky Carroll as NCIS Director Leon Vance.

Michael once had a dream that model Andie MacDowell was trying to kill him.
Michael has been let loose with a camera, provided by the TV show Extra, and humorously filmed the set of the season 3 season finale of NCIS and his co-workers.

Michael Weatherly Quotes:
"We are very excited about welcoming a new member of the family, a daughter. I have a 16-year-old son and I am very excited to do it all over again," he told Life & Style magazine. "I am looking forward to not getting much sleep!"
"Gentlefolk of Twitter and elsewhere, Bojana and I are proud to announce the arrival yesterday of Olivia Weatherly! #SpecialAgentWeatherly," he tweeted.
"Here's the thing, when I went to a prenatal class it was like going to a drive-in horror movie," Weatherly joked while preparing for Olivia's arrival. "I saw things in that class at 9:30 in the morning … it was the Alien meets The Exorcist."
(asked if he still enjoys playing Tony in "NCIS") You know, I'm actually looking forward to taking some time off. Being away from Tony is really nice because he is a lot (to handle). I mean, I hang out with him a lot and he's hard work! He's very tactile and loves to live life to the full. And he eats a lot!
(about NCIS) And there's also a family dynamic that's like growing up in an American dysfunctional family. You know, you've got the father, the strange sibling rivalries going on and the weird grandpa in the basement with the dead bodies. You know, like everyone's family. I get to hang out and "play" with my friends, and laugh between takes with some of the funniest and silliest characters I have ever met.
What a cool guy and not to mention a hunk! He is one reason I love NCIS…Stay tuned for more on these amazing stars of the show…

NYU Jazz Interview Series: Julian Lage
My first impression of Julian at the interview was that he was proactive in introducing himself to me. With a winning smile and firm handshake, someone has clued Julian in on the all so important rules of engagement. And, thank goodness for that, since there is so much competition in the music world, every musician needs to make friends and allies on and off the bandstand. That being said, don't think Julian will have any problems getting over with audiences. He seems to play music effortlessly and with enthusiasm and passion. I actually met Julian when he was around 12 years old, and he could already play the hell out of the guitar at that tender age. As a matter of fact, he seemed as mature and focused at twelve as he did during our interview. I wish him great success in the many years to come.

BY DARREN JOHNSTONE – Capital City Press
Hearts defender Jordan McGhee admits he has to accept that his lack of game time is down to his age – not his ability.
The 19-year-old made his first league start of the season in last Sunday's victory at Dundee United as a replacement for suspended right-back Callum Paterson.
McGhee came through the youth ranks at Tynecastle with the likes of Paterson, Sam Nicholson, Billy King and Jamie Walker, and has watched his team-mates all become first team regulars.
But the Scotland Under-21 internationalist concedes that it is harder for young central defenders to make the breakthrough.
He said: "It's difficult seeing my team-mates coming through and playing regularly when I'm not getting a game.
"They're all top players and they've done really well but at the same time I'd say it's a lot harder to break through as a centre-back than it is for a winger.
"If a winger takes on a full-back and loses it, the fans don't go so mental but if a centre-back loses a header or makes a stray pass, it's your fault for the goal.
"I can see why managers don't trust young centre-backs as much as players in other positions.
"It's their neck on the line if you make a mistake so that's where you need the manager to believe in you – I'm sure I'll prove myself once I get a chance.
"But it is difficult. You just need to have belief in yourself and keep training as hard as you can.
"I've asked the manager a few times what I can do to get in the team. He's told me I just need to be patient.
"He knows I'm good enough to play and I know myself I'm good enough to play but I just need to wait until my time comes."
Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson added: "When you put a young player in up front, they make a mistake and it usually doesn't lead to a goal.
"If they're in defence, it can lead to a goal – and that can be difficult to cope with.
"It's the same with a goalkeeper. A goalie makes one mistake and it can crush him for a few months."

From award-winning producer and author Leigh Leshner, comes a breathtaking addition to the Warman's family, Warman's® Vintage Jewelry. A feast for the eyes, this book features more than 800 color photographs of more than 1,000 magnificent pieces of white metal and rhinestone jewelry. Learn more at shop.collect.com.
In an interview covering ocean liner memorabilia, theatrical producer Steve Hickson told me for most collectors in that category, their 'gateway drug' is the original Titanic flick. It made me realize most collectors have a gateway drug, something that hooks them quickly into an addiction. It could be as simple an event as seeing that first baseball game with daddy, then buying a pack of baseball cards. Or maybe being mesmerized by a great aunt's stash of old buttons when she tried to teach you to sew. Or perhaps when you were a kid, a pen pal sent a letter with an exotic stamp on it. Another collector is born.
Like many girls and women, I wore jewelry, but my gateway drug, the one piece that suddenly made me see jewelry as a collectible art form, was featured on a single page in Vogue magazine, tossed onto my lap by happenstance when I was having my hair cut. Pure coincidence. It was during the holiday season, so the theme was Christmas tree pins. Any other month, it could have been something else. In a way it didn't matter what motif they showcased because that department's editor, I saw in retrospect, always chose the most visually addictive stuff. Great design was the unifying factor. There amid jeweled pines by Bulgari and Cartier, Eisenberg and Yosca, was a plastic and rhinestone confection, with a trunk of real bark from Central Park, by some guy named Stuart Freeman.
That pin got under my skin. I looked for him for 10 years. This was pre-Internet. (You're wondering why I didn't call Vogue. And I was a journalist.) A decade later, his number popped up. I called, a man answered. "Is this Stuart Freeman?" With some hesitation, he said, "Yes-s-s-s." I told him how long I'd looked for him and why. Who could forget hearing the words, "Oh, I think I still have a few of those Christmas trees in storage." So that's how I bought my first piece of Stuart Freeman.
Seventeen years later, it was just as exciting to ask Freeman to consign to Collect.com's October jewelry auction a ring he designed, featured in Warman's Jewelry, 4th Edition … and he said, "Kathy, would you like me to consign jewelry I've had in storage since the Eighties?" The short answer, choked out while hyperventilating, was yes.
Freeman is an artist with a science background, evidently a killer combination.
Whether you call his work avant-garde investment jewelry or zany pop-culture fashion statement, it's always intriguing, and if you like the unusual, it's irresistible. You can see right away what he brings to his work: soul of a child (see his truck bracelet), heart of an artist (paint-tube earrings even spill jewels), mind of a scientist (there's great precision even in his whimsy). I asked him to fill in the blank: My jewelry is always: "entertaining, attention-getting, new, cerebral, and fattening without the calories." My jewelry is never: "dull, done, un-original, perfect, imperfect, smart, stupid."
Born on Manhattan's Lower East Side, a rebel child voted grammar school's Best Dresser (before becoming Science Geek at Brooklyn Tech), Freeman's foray into jewelry got started when a high school art teacher wrote a book called Art from Found Objects. "I submitted a couple of 3-D collage face pendants with real human hair. I was 15 years old and thrilled they made it into the book."
Later (after college at Cooper Union), working at an ad agency, he created rubber bracelets for a friend who had them on when a Vogue editor spotted the talent. (Iconic photographer Bruce Weber shot them.) Freeman became, as they say, a darling of Vogue editors, his designs used all over the place, including the cover. But even having Linda Evangelista minus clothing wearing his crystallized starfish necklace (it sold for $1,800) measured a frisson factor one notch below Isabella Rossellini in tie-dyed Lucite ear pendants for an international Lancôme ad (where he copped on-page credit.)
A Cosmo cover garnered greatest sales, plastic earrings from Freeman's Lucite series. While a lot of his work was in one-of-a-kind objects, his production pieces ran to 300 or more, as with the Lucite, or jeweled chopsticks (made for fine dining but repurposed by fashionistas for coiffures). Maddeningly, little of his metier was signed. He had all his work fabricated in Manhattan (Freeman was an early pioneer in the Meat Market district) and still does. Like Picasso, he literally turned everything he wanted into art: any metal, bark, thumbtacks, plastic McDonald's toys, cement, brick, charred wood, rubber and cork.
At first glance, a cuff bracelet appears to be delicately woven straw studded with jewels, but up close it's all rubber bands. Wires become spider web necklaces, salt shakers make glassy millinery for troll pendants. Results are funny, but strike observers as smart art. As art, maybe it isn't even required to look great on, but does, usually even better than off. A bib necklace of pencil ferrules (the little metal things below erasers) could be overlooked in a cheap carnival goods store if bagged, but once draped across you collarbone looks like a pricey couture piece. He manages to make any tacky trinket elegant.
Do objects and media inspire ideas? "I try to stay internalized in regard to creative process," Freeman says. "But I do not live in a vacuum cleaner, so yes, all of it: the streets of the city, the smells of the sewers (not), being a native New Yorker elitist, running into other artists …" Freeman isn't so hot on standard interview questions so it was lovely he answered the query: "What ranks as your all-time favorite jewelry design pieces?" The answers are: The Warhol Collection, his Rubber Wear and a minimalist Neo-Geo geometric series.
Maybe you're seeing the geometrics for the first time. As for the Warhol group and Rubber, we've got some of it, along with 50 other lots of Freeman's (brickwear, over-the-top jeweled necklaces, fake-everything cuff bracelets, luscious Lucite) in the Collect.com auction beginning Oct. 25. It's 1980s and never been worn. Pristine stuff.

Five Quick Questions with Stuart Freeman
Do you dream about jewelry?
I never dream, only nightmare. Yes.
I was going to ask you about your similarity to Picasso, but …
Everything is original if you have no reference. So … I try to stay un-informed.
There isn't much of your jewelry floating around on the secondary market, is there?
A lot of it is floating in outer space.
What's one of the most bizarre ideas you've had and executed?
A Christmas brooch from a car-freshener pine tree, totally jeweled. It smelled for 3,000 days. At least.
What makes you tick?
Sense of humor, hunger for excitement, my life partner, family, big-city living, food, alcohol, sex and drugs. The joy of riding on a super-crowded subway in NYC, shooting tons of photographs, disorganization, traveling around the world and creating without an end result.

Don't be such pussies about this issue. Who cares if it hurts the baby. They won't remember and it's for good reason. Infant UTI's can be deadly and cause kidney damage. Liberals are so selfish and stubborn its annoying. And as far as the ethical part... Should'nt we focus our debating efforts on something more worthy such as abortion? So our stance is this... When it comes to circumcision it should be the infants choice but when it comes to life it is the mothers choice, hypocrites!
I believe male circumcision is beneficially and ethically sound. I believe it promotes better hygiene and also reduces infections, not only for the male, but also for potential mates. I do not see any reason why circumcision would be viewed an unethically. It is a commonly followed practice that most westerners favor.
It may seem harsh when described, but an infant is made as comfortable as possible during this process and in the long run a circumcised penis is much easier to keep clean and much more hygienic than one that has not bee circumcised. It often has to be done later if not done then and that is worse for the male.
Male circumcision is beneficial and ethically sound. They have been circumcising males for generations and there is nothing wrong with this. It helps to prevent diseases later on in life and maintain clean and good health. I think that male circumcision should be done at birth to make sure that it is done.
Yes, I believe if the child has no other issues surround his birth, then it is beneficial to have the minor surgery completed. When I male child is older, he may not understand that this extra flesh needs to cleaned and maintained. This may cause infection. It can also bolster the male self esteem of the child when he becomes older.
Circumcision is a euphemism for male genital mutilation, This mutilation violates the rights a male's right to bodily integrity. The United Nations (UN) acknowledges that bodily integrity is a human right that all humans are entitled to. Also, this mutilation can also qualify as cruel and unusual punishment under the United Nations' human rights treaty entitled Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Male genital mutilation is also not beneficial for the male. This is because the mutilation reduces the male's sexual sensitivity. The reduction can be 50%-80% loss in sexual sensitivity. Also, genital mutilation creates a scar around the penis that dries out the glans of the penis. This dryness creates more friction, while the foreskin reduces friction. The foreskin has nerve endings and most of the foreskin's nerve endings detect light touch. Genital mutilation eliminates most of the nerve endings that detect light touch. Then, genital mutilation also is not good protection HIV. This is because the foreskin contains a protein called langerin which is a natural barrier against HIV. This is why most countries that don't practice circumcision have lower rates of HIV than the countries that do practice circumcision. Also most westerners don't favor/practice circumcision. The United States has the highest rate of circumcision and the highest rate of HIV of any western country . All of the other western countries have a lot lower rates of circumcision and HIV.
Penises that are circumcised often report that they are wearing out the feeling on the shaft. Also looking at the glans, the top of the penis, it can wear out a bit. So be European, and have your penis be natural. Unless you are Jewish, then you can keep your tradition.
The male foreskin is there for a reason. Mother Nature put it there to keep those parts warm and protected when humans didn't wear clothing. Circumcision is cruel and unusual because it hurts infants, despite the numbing agent applied. Circumcision isn't beneficial as long as men and boys keep that area clean and free of urine.
No, infant male circumcision is not ethical at all. An infant cannot make the choice as to whether or not he wishes to be circumcised, and to mutilate his genitals for religious or societal acceptance purposes is very wrong. In addition, there are not any known health benefits for performing the procedure.

Skip to comments.Two Federal Police dead at Mexico City Airport
Posted on 06/25/2012 8:26:01 AM PDT by rovenstinez
Breaking News, panic at the airport in Mexico City
Prohibitions are a good thing, if your goal is a police state.
Classify panic please. A mass scramble for the exits or people in the immediate vicinity ducking and crapping. The accompanying photo looks like people waiting in a line.
I'd like to know how Mexico solved their crime problem since every crime in Mexico is declared to be part of the drug war. Clearly they have the lowest crime rate in the world aside from the one that's our fault. /s
Hmm...I wonder if they were killed with Holder's weapons.
Are there other victims? or is this question an unknown?
First thing I thought of.

Math Physics Seminar
Wednesday, April 6, 2011 - 4:30pm
1 hour (actually 50 minutes)
Skiles 006
We study the sum of the negative eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplace operatoron a bounded domain in the semiclassical limit. We give a new proof thatyields not only the Weyl term but also the second asymptotic term involvingthe surface area of the boundary of the domain.The proof is valid under weak smoothness assumptions on the boundary and theresult can be extended to non-local, non-smooth operators like fractionalpowers of the Dirichlet Laplacian.(This is joint work with Rupert L. Frank.)

Slowly Rolling Camera formed in Cardiff in 2013 and brought together four wildly talented musicians from diverse backgrounds in vocalist/lyricist Dionne Bennett, composer/keyboardist Dave Stapleton, drummer Elliot Bennett and producer/sound design artist Deri Roberts. The result was a captivating hybrid of these influences: trip hop, jazz, soul, electronic music fused into a new and unique soundscape. The product was their eponymous album, released on Edition Records in February 2014, described by The Guardian as a 'powerful newcomer with Rising Star written all over it. Superb!
In November 2016 they released their second album 'All Things' that looks set to build their reputation and global audience. Praised for their heavy grooves, unleashed hooks and extremely emotional contrasts, Slowly Rolling Camera are masters at merging jazz and trip-hop in a modern, intelligent and emotional way.
Live, they've proved a phenomenon performing at concerts from Cardiff to Hamburg and at high profile festivals including Umea Jazz Festival (Sweden), Love Supreme (UK), Lotus Jazz Festival, Jazz Jantar (Poland), London Jazz Festival (UK) and Reeperbahn Festival (Germany).
This recording, live from Kings Place, London, confirms their promise as one of the most exciting live acts on the European circuit.

Through active and applied learning, students who participate in a project-based learning (PBL) are more engaged, are better researchers, and self-directed in their learning. What's the difference between a problem and a project, and where do you (and the library) fit in? In this course, participants will learn about the basics of project-based learning, including relevant terminology, best practices, curriculum integration, tools and techniques, and assessment. Teachers and librarians can partner in cross/multi-disciplinary units, with librarians supporting the curriculum through materials, instruction, community connections, and directed research skills, or even driving the curriculum development at their school or in their department, even in a test-based, time constrained environment. This course will explore all of these ideas, from the basic building blocks of PBL to alignment with ISTE, AASL, ACRL, 21st Century, and Common Core State Standards.
Learning Outcomes
- Understand the structure, terminology, and process for building project-based learning curriculum.
Explore opportunities and ideas for getting students to work productively, engage in decision making, and apply critical thinking and 21st century skills as essential components of their success.
Appraise the appropriateness and design of project-based learning as relevant and applicable for cross-disciplinary learning in order to fulfill requirements of a skill-based curriculum.
Who Should Attend
School library professionals and those interested in the topic.
Rhonda Huisman is an Associate Dean for University Libraries at Wichita State University in Wichita, KS. She serves on ACRL-Instruction and LIRT (Library Instruction Round Table) committees related to High-Impact Practices, Transitions to College, and is a facilitator for ACRL's Standards for Libraries in Higher Education program. She has been a 7-12 grade teacher, K-12 school library assistant, and has presented on project-based learning for AASL, served as a consultant on PBL curriculum, and is the author of "Need to know: Partnerships in Project-Based Learning" (2013) in Kennedy & Green's (Eds.). Collaborative Models for Librarian and Teacher Partnerships. Rhonda's research agenda is examining the impact of librarians and libraries on college readiness and student success.
