In 1971, Sally Grossman convinced her husband Albert to find financing for a documentary about the Bauls, folk singers in rural West Bengal. "Luxman Baul's Movie" has an element of music-tour documentary, mixed with travelogue and ethnographic study.
Sally Grossman's voice-over translations of song lyrics and poetry lend the film tranquility unlike anything else in Alk's work.

MOSCOW: There were "serious problems" in the vote that returned Vladimir Putin to the Russian presidency, the head of the major international election observer mission said Monday, adding fuel to an opposition testing its strength with plans for a massive protest rally.
Putin rolled to victory as expected Sunday to return to the Kremlin and keep his hold on power for six more years, but opponents claim the voting was rigged. A rally has been set for Monday evening on Moscow's Pushkin Square, one of the central city's most iconic locations, with news reports say some 12,000 police and troops will be on duty to ensure order.
A brief synopsis by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe observer mission did not address complaints of widespread cases of people casting multiple ballots, but said the election "was assessed negatively" in almost a third of polling stations observers visited.
"There was no real competition, and abuse of government resources ensured that the ultimate winner of the election was never in doubt," said Tonino Picula, the head of the short-term observer mission.
The Central Elections Commission says the prime minister, who was president in 2000-2008, got more than 63 percent of the nationwide vote. The independent Russian elections watchdog Golos says incomplete reports from its observers of individual polling station counts indicate he hovered perilously close to the 50-percent mark needed for a first-round victory.
"It's one pixel away from a second round," said Golos' Roman Udot.
Putin claimed victory Sunday night when fewer than a quarter of the votes had been counted, his eyes brimming with tears. He defiantly proclaimed just outside the Kremlin walls before a sea of supporters that they had triumphed over opponents intent on "destroying Russia's statehood and usurping power."
Putin's win was never in doubt as he faced a weak slate of Kremlin-approved candidates and many across the vast country still see him as a guarantor of stability and the defender of a strong Russia against a hostile world, an image he has carefully cultivated during 12 years in power.
The OSCE observers' conclusions may have significant bearing on whether Russia's opposition forces will be able to maintain the protests of the last three months, the largest public show of anger in post-Soviet Russia. Opposition demonstrations previously had been severely limited by officials, and any unauthorized gatherings were harshly dispersed by police.
Officials gave permission for the massive rallies, which attracted tens of thousands, but it was not clear if the tolerance would continue in the post-election period.
On Monday, outgoing President Dmitry Medvedev ordered the Justice Ministry to present its explanation for last year's rejection of registration for the People's Freedom Party, an organization led by some of the opposition's most prominent figures.
He also ordered the prosecutor-general to re-examine the legality of the conviction of imprisoned former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky and more than 30 others regarded by the opposition as political prisoners.
Some observers saw the move as a maneuver to try to soothe protesters.
Medvedev, "it appears, is trying in advance to break the protest wave," political analyst Pavel Svyatenkov was quoted as saying by the ITAR-Tass news agency.
At least one opposition figure vowed that strategy wouldn't work.
"In general, this step can be welcomed. But I don't think it should stop the criticism of authorities," Left Front leader Sergei Udaltsov told the state news agency RIA Novosti.
The West can expect Putin to continue the tough policies he has pursued even as prime minister, including opposing US plans to build a missile shield in Europe and resisting international military intervention in Syria.
Communist Party candidate Gennady Zyuganov was a distant second in the election, followed by Mikhail Prokhorov, the billionaire owner of the New Jersey Nets basketball team whose candidacy was approved by the Kremlin in what was seen as an effort to channel some of the protest sentiment.
The clownish nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky and socialist Sergei Mironov trailed behind. The leader of the liberal opposition Yabloko party was barred from the race. –Associated Press writer Mansur Mirovalev in Moscow contributed to this report.

New owners of the Water Gap Country Club are blending a renewed emphasis on its golf history with massive renovations to the course, restaurant, bar and hotel rooms.
New owners of the Water Gap Country Club are blending a renewed emphasis on its golf history with massive renovations to the course, restaurant, bar and hotel rooms.
Shaun and Julie Lyons of Wallingford in suburban Philadelphia bought the course from the Shirley Broda family for $1.1 million, in addition to covering unpaid back taxes.
They have renamed it Wolf Hollow at Water Gap Country Club, incorporating the original Wolf Hollow name from when the Mountain Road course first opened in 1922.
"The people on the wall — this is their place," Shaun Lyons said, pointing to a drawing featuring original board members. "I just hold the keys for a while."
Lyons doesn't miss a chance to promote the contributions of course designers Albert Tillinghast and Robert White, the latter the Professional Golf Association's first president, in 1916.
Tillinghast took part in creating 265 U.S. courses during the early 20th century. Walter Hagan, who played Wolf Hollow many times, won 45 tournaments, including 11 majors, on the PGA tour.
"You can feel the history, and when you're on the course you see more wildlife than you can imagine," Lyons said of his growing interest in buying Wolf Hollow during numerous visits to the Poconos. "The history brought me to the finish line."
Shaun Lyons also is president of Precision Realty Group LLC, a Philadelphia commercial real estate brokerage. He spends Thursdays through Monday at Wolf Hollow, and weekdays at Precision interspersed with some daily commutes.
Lyons grew up on Long Island, during which he vacationed at Shawnee. His wife also spent time here, including coming to Wolf Hollow for her wedding shower.
"I pretty much fell in love with the Poconos," he said. "A lot of my family is working here and involved in the place."
Personally taking on the Delaware Water Gap resort presents new challenges for the couple, who took advice shortly after the April closing from the Travel Channel's "Hotel Impossible" program.
The program's host toured the facilities while pointing out suggested improvements. Lyons made note of the advice while coming up with ideas of his own. That program will air this fall.
Lyons has restaurant management experience but had never taken on a hotel. Wolf Hollow has 24 guest rooms.
They have renovated the lobby and ballroom, bought new kitchen equipment and upgraded the menu and added a golf simulator at the pro shop for off-season practice against a virtual course background. Rooms have been renovated. A newly stained, finished wooden slab adorns the bar.
All this has been done since the April sale closing, he said. But a grounds crew began work a month before the sale, reworking the cart path, greens and sand traps.
"We spent a ton of money on the course," Lyons said.
The course remained open through the spring, during renovations that led up to an unofficial July 4th kickoff. Yet the loss of 30 golfing days due to rain hurt, he said.
"We overcame it by giving people a really good product in the restaurant," Lyons said. "I believe that is what's really beginning to put us on the map."
Frozen foods have been replaced with fresh products as much as possible.
The restaurant, bar and course are open seven days a week. Lyons has plans for year-round theme nights and celebrations.
He loves the resort business and the people.
"Not only is the staff loyal, the patrons are loyal," Lyons said. "I didn't see that in other businesses I've been involved in."
Wolf Hollow at Water Gap Country Club is much more than a financial investment, he said.
"This is a full-time responsibility, and I absolutely love it," Lyons said. "It's creative. I like this more and more every day. This is something I'd like to be involved with every day with my family."

Two Havelock residents received lengthy sentences after pleading guilty to participation in a scheme to sell thousands of prescription drugs obtained using stolen prescription pads.
Two Havelock residents received lengthy sentences after pleading guilty to participation in a scheme to sell thousands of prescription drugs obtained using stolen prescription pads.
The Carteret County Sheriff�s Office announced the convictions and sentences in a release Tuesday several weeks after the court actions. A State Bureau of Investigation Drug Diversion Unit in conjunction with the sheriff�s office busted the scheme.
James Howard Maynor, 28, of Witten Circle, entered guilty pleas on July 9 to 16 felony offenses including trafficking in opium and obtaining a controlled substance by fraud or forgery. Superior Court Judge Ken Crow sentenced Maynor to 7 1/2 to nearly 10 years in prison, followed by a term of 12 to 20 months. Upon his release, Maynor will be placed on probation for 48 months on a six- to eight-month suspended sentence.
Casey Ann Williams, 31, of Witten Circle, entered guilty pleas on Aug. 20 to 18 felony offenses of trafficking in opium and two felony offenses of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud or forgery. Superior Court Judge John Nobles sentenced Williams to 7 1/2 to nearly 10 years in prison. Upon release, she will be placed on probation for 36 months on two six- to eight-month suspended sentences.
According to Maj. Jason Wank, of the Carteret County Sheriff�s Office, Williams and Maynor were arrested in 2012 as a result of a two-month investigation. Williams had worked in several area doctor offices and had stolen prescription pads that she and Maynor used to forge prescriptions for Percocet. The pair then sold the drugs for about $400 per prescription. More than 6,000 dosage units were sold to 14 suspects who were also arrested in the 2012 investigation. Some of the 10mg Percocet pills were sold for $10 per pill.
Williams had been employed as a radiology technician at Crystal Coast Family Practice in Morehead City. Other prescription pads came from Port City Neurology and Spine in Wilmington, Coastal Carolina Orthopedic Surgery in Jacksonville and Medac Health Services in Wilmington, all of which had at one time employed Williams, according to Wank.
Wank said that the sale of the illegal prescriptions ranged from Carteret, Craven, Onslow, New Hanover and Brunswick counties. Wank could not confirm the status of the 14 others charged in the ring.
Wank said the nearly one-month delay in announcing the pleas was due to the fact that the department was busy and that there was a delay in obtaining statements from the district attorney and the sheriff.

It was with much sadness that Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki staff learnt of the passing of Ralph Hotere. We send our aroha to his wife Mary and family. Moe mai e te Rangatira.
When we were planning the reopening of Auckland Art Gallery in September 2011, I proposed that Ralph Hotere's Godwit/Kuaka mural be installed in the long gallery adjacent to the entrance foyer. This 18-metre long work was Ralph's largest painting; Hamish Keith commissioned it from the artist for Auckland Airport in 1977.
I told Ralph that we were going to reopen the building and show Godwit/Kuaka, and I asked him to help decide how the work would be presented. Just before Christmas 2011, Ralph recorded the Muriwhenua chant Ruia ruia, opea opea, tahia tahia. When he called me and played his recording I was overwhelmed; it now plays in the gallery housing Godwit/Kuaka.
I wrote a short essay about the mural at the reopening:
Godwit/Kuaka - Ralph Hotere
In 1977 Auckland International Airport commissioned Ralph Hotere to create a mural in response to the theme of long-distance air travel and arrival. In doing so, it commissioned one of the largest public paintings ever produced in New Zealand - 18m in length. Originally titled The Flight of the Godwit, it served as a welcome to returning citizens and a greeting to visitors at New Zealand's major entry point.
The enormous artwork remained in this traveller's welcoming area until 1996, when the airport undertook a redevelopment of the terminal building. The mural was deaccessioned from the airport's art collection, and subsequently purchased by the Chartwell Trust and placed at Auckland Art Gallery. At that moment, the artist renamed his mural Godwit/Kuaka.
Godwit/Kuaka weaves together many of the themes which Hotere's work at the time was exploring: the relationship between the ancient Maori worldview and the contemporary world; abstract art's ability to evoke ecology and cosmology; the relationship between place and human experience.
While Hotere's mural honours and recalls the flights undertaken by the migratory eastern bar-tailed godwit (Limosa lapponica baueri), it sets up a metaphor in which the bird's annual return represents our own travels and homecomings. This legendary shore bird is renowned for undertaking transoceanic journeys. Its stamina is legendary - not only is its journey a long one, but the godwit makes no stops for rest or sustenance along the way. Maori have long admired the bar-tailed godwit; they named it the kaka. The kaka's arrival is celebrated in the ancient Te Aupuri Maori chant which the artist's father, Tangirau Hotere, taught him at Mitimiti in Northland. Walking the length of Godwit/Kuaka's polished, reflective surface, viewers meet the darkened central panels on which Hotere has recorded in capital letters lines from the Te Aupuri chant. It is as if a bird's flight has come to rest with a song. The dark centre is flanked by vertical bands of colour which pulsate slowly, advancing forwards and retreating backwards upon the shiny lacquer-like surface. This bandwidth of shimmering and piercing hues acts as a melody of departure and arrival.
Godwit/Kuaka's astonishing presence is not solely driven by its physical scale, but by the emotion, the welcome that it creates. Looking like a fragment from a monumental loom in which the carefully drawn stripes are never-ending warps binding the darkness of night to the colour of day, the mural sings to us and acts as a beacon calling us home, signalling our safe arrival.
Ruia ruia, opea opea, tahia tahia
Kia hemo ake
Ko te kaka koakoa
Kia herea mai
Te kawai koroki
Kia tatata mai
I roto i tana pukorokoro whaikaro
He kuaka
He kuaka marangaranga
Kotahi manu
I tau ki te tahuna
Tau atu
Tau atu
Kua tau mai
Scattering, gathering, forming a single unit
Death/exhaustion rises up
It is the rope, koakoa [the cry of the bird]
Binding you here to me
The cry/chattering of the flock
Come close together
From inside its throat - a marauding party
A godwit
A godwit that hovers
One bird
Has settled on the sand bank
It has settled over there
It has settled over there
They have settled here

How many devices can be connected - simultaneously - to one thunderbolt port?
I work with video production but the budget is yet limited, so I can't afford a Mac Pro. But with an iMac I might be able to work just fine. But before I buy a mac I need to know if the thunderbolt can support multiple devices as in a hub. Could I plug two, three monitors, a pci express for playing hard videos, and also connect a Raid of Hard drives?

Best Answer:
Thunderbolt is a point-to-point interface, that also allows daisy-chaining to up to seven devices. The new iMacs have other ports besides just Thunderbolt out their back, so in effect it already is a hub for these different port types. IF you want to chain via the Thunderbolt port, you need to make sure each device connected to your iMac has two Thunderbolt ports, one for its "upstream" Thunderbolt partner and one for its "downstream" device chain. Be careful, though, for not all Thunderbolt devices have this second port, so they have to be wired into your string as the last/end-point
- Answered by Tom R from Cupertino

Actually, there is a limit to the number of devices that can be connected in a daisy chain to a single Thunderbolt device - 6. This is the limt of the specification.
Also, there are peripheral devices that have single ports and dual ports.
For example, here on the Apple store, there are portable devices like the LaCie Rugged which have a single Thunderbolt port; it also has a separate USB 3.0 port to connect to computers that do not have a Thunderbolt port. This devices cannot be daisy chained.
There are also 2-port Thunderbolt hard drives and peripherals like the LaCie 2big. and the LaCie 5big, as well as devices from other vendors. These can be daisy chained to expand the number of devices that connect to a single Thunderbolt port on a Mac.
Some Macs like the Macbook Pro Retina have 2 Thunderbolt ports for even more flexibility.
Thunderbolt is different from USB - USB can have hubs, while Thunderbolt can not. So, for expansion capability there is only the daisy-chain topology.

Cialis interferes with the production of a hormone called PDE5. It relaxes the blood vessels surrounding the penis to allow increased blood flow during sexual arousal. When using Cialis, men can easily get and maintain a hard erection after being sexually stimulated. You will only get an erection after becoming sexually aroused and the erection will go away on its own.
Cialis is the only medication approved to treat erection problems for as long as 36 hours. Many men prefer Cialis because they can take the medication and not feel rushed to have sex. The medication can start working in as little as 30 minutes, so it�s also possible to have spontaneous sexual encounters. Cialis can treat mild, moderate, and severe erection problems. It can be taken with or without food, so it is easy to use Cialis as a part of daily life.
Cialis works best when taken one half hour before sexual activity. You will not get an erection until you are sexually stimulated. The erection will go away by itself after a sexual encounter. The effects of the medication can last up to 36 hours, so you can enjoy the effects of the medication for more than one day.
The side effects of Cialis are usually minor. Typical side effects can include headache, stomach upset, back pain, muscle soreness, skin flushing, and runny nose. The side effects should go away after a few hours. In some cases, back pain or muscle soreness can appear 12 to 24 hours after taking a dose of Cialis. In most cases, it will go away within 48 hours. If you are bothered by the side effects if Cialis, or if a side effect lasts longer than 36 hours, make an appointment with your doctor.
Your doctor will want to take your complete medical history before prescribing Cialis. Tell your doctor is you have cardiovascular issues, chest pain, heart disease, arrhythmia, heart attack, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, liver damage, kidney damage, ulcers, bleeding problems, cancer, sickle cell anemia, or if your penis is anatomically deformed. If you have an that won�t go away, seek medical attention.
Your doctor will need to know about all prescription and non-prescription medications you�re currently taking. This includes vitamins and herbal supplements, because these substances can interact with Cialis. Check with your doctor before changing or discontinuing any medication or supplement. Be sure to talk to your doctor if you are taking nitrates, alpha-blockers, Flomax, Cardura, Minipress, Uroxatral, or erythromycin. Cialis cannot be taken with other medications used to treat erection problems. Your doctor can help you adjust your medications and find the right treatment for you back on your health history.

Important Patient InformationTADALAFIL (ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION) - ORAL (tah-DA-la-fil) COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Cialis
IMPORTANT: HOW TO USE THIS INFORMATION: This is a summary and does NOT have all possible information about this product. This information does not assure that this product is safe, effective, or appropriate for you. This information is not individual medical advice and does not substitute for the advice of your health care professional. Always ask your health care professional for complete information about this product and your specific health needs.
USES: Tadalafil is used to treat male sexual function problems (impotence or erectile dysfunction-ED). In combination with sexual stimulation, tadalafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis to help a man get and keep an erection. Tadalafil is also used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH). It helps to relieve symptoms of BPH such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently (including during the middle of the night). Tadalafil is thought to work by relaxing the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder. This drug does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, syphilis). Practice "safe sex" such as using latex condoms. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start taking tadalafil and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Take this medication by mouth, with or without food, as directed by your doctor. Do not take tadalafil more often than once daily. The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products). To treat the symptoms of BPH, take this medication as directed by your doctor, usually once a day. If you are also taking finasteride with this medication to treat symptoms of BPH, talk with your doctor about how long you should continue taking this medication. To treat erectile dysfunction-ED, there are 2 ways that tadalafil may be prescribed. Your doctor will determine which is the best way for you to take tadalafil. Follow your doctor's directions exactly since your dosage depends on how you are taking it. The first way is to take it as needed, usually at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. Tadalafil's effect on sexual ability may last up to 36 hours. The second way to treat ED is to take tadalafil regularly, once a day every day. If you take it this way, you may attempt sexual activity at any time between your doses. If you are taking tadalafil to treat both ED and BPH, take it as directed by your doctor, usually once a day. You may attempt sexual activity at any time between your doses. If you are taking tadalafil once daily for BPH, or for ED, or for both, take it regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
SIDE EFFECTS: Headache, stomach upset, back pain, muscle pain, stuffy nose, flushing, or dizziness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. Sexual activity may put extra strain on your heart, especially if you have heart problems. If you have heart problems and experience any of these serious side effects while having sex, stop and get medical help right away: severe dizziness, fainting, chest/jaw/left arm pain, nausea. Rarely, sudden decreased vision, including permanent blindness, in one or both eyes (NAION) may occur. If this serious problem occurs, stop taking tadalafil and get medical help right away. You have a slightly greater chance of developing NAION if you have heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, certain other eye problems ("crowded disk"), high blood pressure, if you are over 50, or if you smoke. Rarely, a sudden decrease or loss of hearing, sometimes with ringing in the ears and dizziness, may occur. Stop taking tadalafil and get medical help right away if these effects occur. In the rare event you have a painful or prolonged erection lasting 4 or more hours, stop using this drug and get medical help right away, or permanent problems could occur. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing. This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. In the US - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch. In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.

Great to see it is still here. Here is a pic I did some time ago when i was last on. My new years resolution is to complete more then one pic a year and (I certainly hope) get better at it. The short version of my own critique is that I never quite figured out how to get the metal of the armor etc to look like it should. Plus some of the lines of the line drawing itself just seem to float over the smoother rendering of color underneath, especially look at that legs to see this problem. And although I wanted to avoid going into too much detail all over the place some places are just screaming for it, like the wood for the sheild. Of course it is also just a floating image but at least it is somewhat finished. Anyway, crituque away. Great to be back.

The textures could do with a bit more work - I assume that the legs etc would be furry. And the chainmail needs more detail. Ampa.

I do see the alignment problem between upper and lower jaw. His feet were never quite right since I never initially thought about drawing them (it was going to be part of a larger battle scene) and it probably would have helped if I gave him balance and stance before fleshing out the rest of the drawing. It was one of those drawings that started with just a head and then grew from there. Those always get more problematic for me when I try to add to them later. I may try to fix him up later. For now I'm going to work on new stuff. maybe I'll try adding to the Mech thread.

Chapattis with egg curry and onions … mmm!
CFCA serves approximately 34,000 sponsored children and elderly in India. Sreekanth Gundoji, our communications liaison in Hyderabad, India, sends us this gorgeous recipe for chapattis and egg curry!
Chapattis are the perfect accompaniment to most Indian dishes. They can be eaten with meat and vegetarian curries, fruits, jam, yogurt, butter, chutneys, pickles, etc.
This recipe is for two to three people.

Take a bowl and add wheat flour into it (reserve a third of it). Add water and remaining flour and mix gradually to make the dough. The dough should not be hard, but soft.
Leave the dough for half an hour or one hour before making the chapattis. Here's a picture of the dough almost ready.
Take some portion of the dough ñ usually 10 equal parts can be made ñ and roll the dough with a rolling pin.
Fry the wet chapatti on a frying pan. Note: Don't leave the chapattis for a long time! Make sure the pan is hot before frying.

Keita holds commanding lead ahead of Mali vote
BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Longtime politician Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, who many hope will hold strife-torn Mali together, heads into the presidential runoff election on Sunday as the clear favorite with endorsements from nearly all of the 28 candidates from the first round.
Whether Keita — known by his initials IBK — will win such a strong mandate across Mali, though, remains unclear in a country where northern rebels do not fly the national flag and pelted his plane with rocks on a campaign stop there.
This West African country's pivotal election is aimed at unlocking some $4 billion in aid promised by international donors after more than a year of turmoil including a coup, followed by an Islamic insurgency that swallowed up a region the size of Afghanistan and a subsequent French-led military intervention that brought thousands of foreign soldiers to Malian soil. The chaos has scattered hundreds of thousands of people — some of whom are casting ballots from refugee camps in neighboring countries.
Keita, who is running on a slogan of "for the honor of Mali," pulled in 39.79 percent of first round votes, while former finance minister Soumaila "Soumi" Cisse won 19.70 percent. It's a reversal of fortune from 2002, when the two ran for president but Cisse, not Keita, made it to the second round.
Keita's resume also includes a 2007 presidential bid as well as a wide array of government positions — foreign minister, prime minister and speaker of the National Assembly.
"He has this reputation as somebody who is strict. He doesn't shy away from a fight," said Bruce Whitehouse, a Bamako-based Mali specialist who teaches at Lehigh University. "He's this sort of old-school politician who knows how to get things done, and knows how to build alliances. I don't think anybody sees him as any kind of visionary or innovator but he may just be sort of the man who can hold things together in some basic way."
Keita, 68, has been nicknamed Kankeletigui or "a man of his word," lending a sense of reassurance and stability to the country that has been in a state of upheaval since early 2012.
Colleagues describe Keita as a longtime statesman who values protocol and formality within government. As foreign minister, he once admonished a public servant for showing up to his office with his top shirt buttons left open. Government buildings, he said, were a place for suits and ties.
Word spread and the next day everyone showed up at the ministry in buttoned up attire.
"IBK is a proud man and someone who enforces the symbol of the state," said Mohamed Sleimane, who worked with him in the 1980s at a non-governmental organization.
Keita is seen as the candidate of choice among the junta leaders who overthrew Mali's democratically elected president in March 2012. Although they ultimately handed over power to a transitional civilian government, the coup leaders are believed to still wield considerable influence.
In contrast, the other candidate, Cisse, 63, was gravely injured while trying to escape junta-linked soldiers and sought medical treatment for months in France.
Keita has won little support from Tuareg separatists in Mali's distant north, some 950 miles (1,500 kilometers) from the capital, Bamako. Rebels tried to block his campaign stop in the provincial capital of Kidal, driving pickup trucks onto the runway and later pelting his parked jet with stones.
But there are hopes that Keita will have the negotiating skills needed ahead of talks with northern rebels from the National Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad, the name they have given to the region.
The Tuareg rebel group signed a reconciliation with a rival rebel group late Friday.
"I am supporting IBK because he has said that he will put together a national dialogue before making a decision on the crisis, while Soumaila Cisse has already declared that he will not give autonomy to northern Mali," said NMLA official Mohamed Ousmane Ag Medoune.
If Keita does win, his strong personal profile could also help solidify his mandate, said Paul Melly, an African affairs specialist at the London-based policy institute Chatham House.
"Those who have talked to him say that he does recognize that Mali requires fundamental change and he does have the personal clout to lead such a reform," he said. "But the challenges are huge; rebuilding popular trust in the political class will not be easy. Much will depend on whether he can form an effective ministerial team and deliver real improvements in the lives of Malians."
Larson reported from Dakar, Senegal.

Kansas City architect and his buildings
Buildings designed by the talented and eccentric architect Louis Curtiss (1865-1924) include:
- Swope Park Superintendent's residence in Kansas City
- Jesse A. Hoel residence in Kansas City
- Willis Wood Theater in Kansas City
- Union Depot in Joplin, MO
- Boley Clothing Co. Building (a 6-story glass building, the first of its kind) in Kansas City
- Louis Curtiss Studio in Kansas City
- Clay County State Bank in Excelsior Springs, MO
Another of Louis Curtiss's buildings, the Bernard Corrigan house in Kansas City, is included in the Historic American Building Survey at the Library of Congress website. The best way to find it is to visit the HABS homepage and type "Bernard Corrigan Kansas City" into the search bar. Like other Curtiss buildings, the Corrigan house is visually interesting and unique.
I wrote about another Louis Curtiss building in the post "Mineral Hall and Its Unique Arched Doorway".
This is by no means a full list of the buildings that Louis Curtiss designed. These are just the Curtiss buildings of which I found images.
Hypno+Raygun has posted an excellent collection of photographs of Louis Curtiss structures on Flickr.
Some other Louis Curtiss buildings appear in this Flikr search. (Research them carefully, though. Some of these buildings were actually by associates of Louis Curtiss -- and others.)

"After nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over," Obama said. "The coming months will be a season of homecomings. Our troops in Iraq will definitely be home for the holidays."
Of the 39,000 troops in Iraq, about 150, a negligible force, will remain to assist in arms sales, a U.S. official told CNN. The rest will be out of Iraq by December 31.
The president said he was making good on his 2008 campaign pledge to end a war that has divided the nation since it began in 2003 and claimed more than 4,400 American lives.The announcement also came after talks that might have allowed a continued major military presence broke down amid disputes about whether U.S. troops would be immune to prosecution by Iraqi authorities.
Obama spoke with Iraqi President Nuri al-Maliki in a video conference Friday, after which he said both nations were comfortable with the decision on how to move forward.
The new partnership with Iraq will be "strong and enduring," Obama said.
"The last American soldier will cross the border out of Iraq with their head held high, proud of their success and knowing that the American people stand united in our support for our troops," Obama said.
According to a statement from the Iraqi prime minister's office, al-Maliki and Obama "shared the same point of view on the need to start a new phase of strategic relations." That includes agreeing to a high-level meeting within two weeks.
Beyond the human cost, the price tag for U.S. military activity in Iraq has been steep as well.
A report from the non-partisan, government-funded Congressional Research Service found that the Defense Department spent nearly $757 billion for military operations in Iraq over the past decade, $50 billion higher than the estimate released by the Pentagon. Another $41 billion for Iraq was spent on State Department and USAID initiatives, plus $6 billion for troops' health expenses, the CRS report stated.
Paul Rieckhoff -- an ex-Army soldier who heads the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, the first and largest such organization for these veterans, according to its website -- cheered Friday's announcement as "really good news for the troops serving overseas."
"It's a really poignant time, especially for the veterans community," Rieckhoff told CNN. "Many of us gave large parts of our lives, some gave all in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn."
While Democrats largely applauded Friday's announcement, some Republicans disagreed with the president. Sen. John McCain called it a "consequential failure" for the Obama administration, which he said wasn't focused on succeeding in Iraq, and Iraq's government.
"Today marks a harmful and sad setback for the United States in the world," said McCain, an Arizona Republican who faced off against Obama in the 2008 presidential election. "This decision will be viewed as a strategic victory for our enemies in the Middle East, especially the Iranian regime, which has worked relentlessly to ensure a full withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq."
Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough dismissed the notion that Friday's decision would affect Iran, which he claimed already is "weaker and more isolated" due to U.S. and allied efforts unrelated to Iraq.
"We don't need to try to exercise our influence on those matters through Iraq," McDonough told reporters Friday. "We're obviously concerned about Iran's willingness to live up to its obligations ... but we don't have concerns about our ability to make sure that the Iraqis can exercise the kind of sovereignty that they want."
Another U.S. official -- who is not authorized to speak for attribution -- acknowledged that "the Iranians have been trying to gain influence in Iraq for some time," but stressed that "Iranian influence in Iraq has limits." The official said the Iraq "will not roll over" to Iran, with whom it has a long history of border disputes including a bloody eight-year war in the 1980s.
The current Status of Force Agreement had called for U.S. troops to leave by the end of 2011. But lengthy negotiations in recent months had led some to expect that American troops -- roughly 40,000 of which are in Iraq -- would remain there into next year.
These talks, however, broke down over the prickly issue of legal immunity for U.S. troops in Iraq, a senior U.S. military official with direct knowledge of the discussions told CNN this month.
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and other top brass have repeatedly said any deal to keep U.S. troops in Iraq beyond the withdrawal deadline would require a guarantee of legal protection for American soldiers.
But the Iraqis refused to agree to that, opening up the prospect of Americans being tried in Iraqi courts and subjected to Iraqi punishment.
The negotiations were strained following WikiLeaks' release of a diplomatic cable that alleged Iraqi civilians, including children, were killed in a 2006 raid by American troops rather than in an airstrike as the U.S. military initially reported.
U.S. troops have already started the drawdown. For instance, a brigade from Fort Bliss, Texas, that was originally scheduled to be among the last to leave Iraq was being pulled out of the country months ahead of its planned departure, military officials told CNN last week.
Besides withdrawing more units, others will not head overseas as planned. That includes about 775 Georgia-based soldiers from the Army's 3rd Infantry Division, which announced Friday it will not deploy to Iraq in December as previously scheduled.
Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, has said that Iraq wouldn't be able to defend its borders if U.S. troops pulled out and also questioned Iraqi forces ability to defend its airspace. But Panetta, en route to Indonesia, said history shows that Iraq will be ready.
"We've taken out now about 100,000 troops and yet the level of violence has remained relatively low," the defense secretary said. "And I think that's a reflection of the fact that the Iraqis have developed a very important capability here to be able to respond to security threats within their own country."
Regardless, officials insisted that the drastic pullback of troops does not mean an end to the U.S. government's presence in Iraq.
State Department spokesman Mark Toner described Friday's development as the start of "a new chapter in our relationship" with Iraq -- while acknowledging the challenges of the change.
"You can't flip a switch and go from a military operation to a civilian operation; there has to be a transition and we're working on that transition," he said. "But we believe we're ready."
Toner also noted substantial improvements in the capabilities of the Iraqis, even as he admitted the continued importance of addressing "security needs" of the hundreds of nonmilitary U.S. personnel who will remain there.
That includes about 1,700 diplomats, law enforcement officers and various economic, agriculture and other professionals and experts who will be in Iraq into 2012, according to the State Department. In addition, 5,000 security contractors will protect the U.S. diplomats and another 4,500 contractors will serve other roles, such as helping provide food and medical services, until they can be done locally.
Toner said the U.S. and Iraqi governments are still talking about security and other matters, though he stressed any such discussions should not change the basic decision announced Friday.
"We continue to talk about the post-December 31 arrangement (and) security relationship," Toner said. "At the same time, we are very committed to meeting the December 31 deadline."
Panetta, too, did not rule out the possibility that U.S. forces would head to Iraq to train forces there.
"As we ... look at developing this normal relationship, a lot of it is going to depend on what they want, what their needs are and how we can best meet them," he said.

Get a Better Night Sleep Using White Noise
Summer seems to be in full swing here in the Northeast and one of the downsides of the warm weather is the folks that congregate outdoors late at night underneath your open windows. As city dwellers that have, since the heat wave arrived, not been able to sleep through the night thanks to the noise, we are quite keen on looking for tech solutions to the late night noise pollution problem.

In addition to the iPhone app, Pzizz also has a software application for Mac and PC that creates audio soundtracks. $6

Ahem. I just had to write that all-caps headline. Broadcom's wireless chips - used by just about everybody in this industry - have been a major pain in the bum for Linux users, because the company did not release open source drivers. Workarounds had to be created, lots of pain was had in the process, but now, Broadcom has finally seen the light: they have open sourced their wireless Linux drivers.

Want to get ahead in the world? Want to see success in the things that you do? Want to set goals and be able to reach them? Well then you need to have the right attitude to get there. If you ask any motivational expert, the key to success is having a mindset that pushes you towards your goals. What this means is that you know what you want, set the goal and then have a path to work towards it. But it's not always easy to gain the motivation necessary to reach the mountaintop of success.
So what can you do? You need to put together a game plan to reach success that will include a little house cleaning, motivational quotes, and a lot of hard work.
When I say house cleaning, this is not necessarily a physical type of cleaning. You need to get rid of the negative things in the world around you that are taking part in holding you back. Unfortunately, this is often some of the people around you, always working against anything positive going on in your world. They are the perpetual naysayers that you need to remove from your sphere of impact. You need to surround yourself with influential and uplifting people. Qualities of a good friend are found in our collection of friendship quotes, so be sure to include several in your personal assembly of inspiration.
You may not be able to completely remove the negative people in your life, which is why the next step is to surround yourself with positive thoughts. Motivational quotes are one of the easiest ways to help you get in the right mindset. Combine them with inspirational quotes to pave your road to success with words that will uplift and encourage you in your goals.
Here are a couple examples:
"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will." - Vince Lombardi
"Success does not consist in never making blunders, but in never making the same one a second time."
- Josh Billings
If every time there is something that seems to be working against you, just look at one of these quotes about life and you will be able to get your mindset back on track towards your own success. Do not be discouraged by a difficult day, either; everyone has difficult days. When you need a great pick me up, take a look at a few funny quotes to brighten your day and once again make your dreams seem achievable.

The liquid Th232 is fertile so it needs to be bred to Protactinium and then to U235 by adding a small starter source of slow thermal neutrons from a fissile material like U232, U235 or Pu239 which could come form weapons or power plant wastes. Or you could just use a neutron beam powered by protons hitting lead, an energy amplifier.
Once it starts, Th232 => Prot => U235 => fission energy + moderated slow thermal neutrons and back to more Th232 => Prot => U235 .......
The loop gains is 2 or so but is self moderated back by the fluoride salt.
There is only a tiny amount of U235 in the loop at any time, it breeds itself as it follows the load slowly but surely consuming the Th232 and replacing it with the fission products of the self procreating U235. Just 1 ton of Th232 gives 3GW/yr thermal power and 1 ton of interesting waste, (almost 1 ton, remember e=mcc).
See Kirk Sorenson for the story.
In Fukushima the reactor did shut down properly, but had no extra water from the backup deisel to cool the reactor with, hence the chain of events.
The LFTR is completely self moderating for load and if it overheats it shuts down by melting its own bath plug. As it drains it cools in a few hours since it is always in liquid fluoride salt form. No emergency devices or computers or people or power needed. To restart, heat the bath tub/pan and start the pumps up. The heat from the tiny amount of U235 in the salt is exchanged with a steam or helium or CO2 turbine.
Modern passive Uranium designs like the AP1000 will copy some of the same ideas but really most active reactors are an accident waiting to happen with probability in the 1 in 1000..s of years per site unless they are passive by design. A few active reactors is safe, but 1000s of them is begging, so the next generation must all be passive by design and I'm sure they will be. Even better if the LFTR would replace the U235 cycle as it is maybe 100* more efficient with the fuel.

squarewalls necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 293 diseños de 59 diseñadores freelance.
We are new company looking for a bold and creative logo, using our company name which will be easily recognised when a customer buys or sells their property through our company.
People looking to Buy, Rent or Sell a property.
The logo/ name will be displayed on the outside of the shop premises and will need to attract passing by traffic.
The name squarewalls is what we want to use on the outside of the shop, on all our stationery, so it must be a designed which is capable of being produced and easily recognisable.
The logo must give an indication to the work we do.
We do intend to add the words "Estate Agents" on the display board and designs should be shown with and without these words. But the words estate agents should not overpower the actual name logo.
We want to keep the words squarewalls together but possibly separated by a colour or letter change to show the separation of the word "square" and "walls" ... we will consider a creative option of display.
Either the name is the actual logo or there is a logo around or next to the name.
What we dont like:
1. typical estate agent logos with houses or keys etc - the idea should be fresh, modern and professional. However, the logo should give a good indication of what we do.
2. too many clashing colours
3. circles
4. cartoon like images or fonts - professional and modern is what we want
5. faint colours - that will not be noticed on display or photocopied material
Obviously, if you can go against the grain and come up with a creative design that includes some of the donts, we will consider it.
Kindly note that entries that we do not like will be eliminated without ratings or comments.
Thank you for your interest.

When someone walks in front of you getting to their seats at a sports event and they choose to go facing you. If you are still sitting down then it will be their crotch to your face. This is considered poor practice and should be replaced by their backside in your face.
I was at the game last night and these guys walked past us to get to their seats and they went by crotch-first. It was so gross.

Fat gets a bad rap, mostly for its association with weight gain and heart disease. However, fats are an important part of a balanced diet. Our bodies need fat for warmth, protection, and to carry out vital functions.
The fats we eat effect the amount and type of cholesterol in our blood. There are 3 major types of cholesterol in the body, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglycerides. High levels of LDLs (known as bad cholesterol) and triglycerides are a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), which leads to heart attack or stroke. However, high levels of HDLs (known as good cholesterol) reduce the risk of CAD.
The trick is to know which fats are good and which are bad and create a balanced diet with this knowledge. Dietary choices can be confusing but some simple fat facts below may help.
You probably have heard about saturated and trans fats. These fats do more harm than good. They raise you bad cholesterol levels and lower your good cholesterol. Limit these fats as much as possible.
Saturated fats are associated with animal products, such as red meat, poultry with skin, lard, cream, butter, and whole-fat dairy. It can also be found in in bakery items and fried foods. Fortunately, you can control the amount of saturated fat in your diet without having to completely give up these foods. Look for low fat version of meat and dairy and limit your portion sizes of foods with saturated fats.
Most trans fats are additives, that are generally considered the worse type of fat. You can find them in deep fried foods, and bakery items like cookies and donuts. On food labels, trans fats may appear as partially hydrogenated oils. Again, these treats do not have to be completely eliminated, however, look for options that are made with healthier fats. For example, many restaurants have chosen to eliminate or reduce trans fats in their foods. Again, limit your portion sizes. This will allow you to eat your favorite foods without the negative consequences.
That's the bad news, now on to the good.
Good fats help lower the bad (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides, while boosting the good (HDL) cholesterol. They should be the preferred choice in your diet. These fats are mostly plant-based and can be found on food labels as monounsaturateded fats or polyunsaturated fats.
Monosaturated fats give you energy and help keep your body warm. This type of fat can be found in foods like vegetable oils, avocados, peanut butter, nuts, and seeds. In addition to their fat benefits, monounsaturated fats also contain vitamin E and antioxidants.
Polyunsaturated fats may also contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These are heart healthy fatty acids which your body cannot produce on its own. This type of fat can be found in soybean, corn, or safflower oils. It can also be found in dark meat fish, like salmon, or trout.
But before you eat too much of a good thing, remember that fats are very high in calories. A little bit goes a long way. In general, calories from all fats should no more than 30% of your total calories.
Now you know what is good for you. The next step is to learn to make those changes to your menu.
So, which is better? Butter, margarine, or something else? When looking for a spread, keep in mind some differences when you read the label:
If you find labels that are alike, eat what you think tastes best, but be aware of the fat content. You may find a healthier choice that tastes better than butter if you try different items.
Making the change is not as difficult as you may think. Many food companies have made changes to their product to offer healthier fat choices. The first thing is to learn to read nutrition information on food labels. Try practicing at home before you go to the store. Look at what you already have in your kitchen.
Next, you will want to replace as many saturated fats with unsaturated fats as possible. Remember, fats eaten in moderation are a part of a healthy diet, so do not be afraid to add the right ingredients to your menu. Here are some dietary recommendations:

If you go on a reflux forum, I think you're going to find people who see your baby through the reflux lens. Honestly, one of my biggest problems with reflux is that it is over-diagnosed. Yes, there are definitely babies who have real problems with reflux. Babies who are in pain, babies who feed less than they should and gain less weight than they should as a result of that pain. But the symptoms of reflux can be cryptic, and it's very easy to assign every puzzling baby behavior, every fluctuation in weight gain, every spit-up event, to reflux. This is why most babies did just fine before the invention of anti-reflux meds- most of them didn't have reflux. And those that did... Well, they eventually outgrew their reflux and did just fine.
Your baby seems to be gaining weight just fine. You're not in pain when you nurse. The baby is nursed on demand, spits up but isn't in pain when she does it, and eats a normal amount. She's got fat rolls and the doctor isn't concerned. I'm just not seeing a reflux-y pattern here, YKWIM?
