Steven Dupré was born in Morstel, near Antwerp, Flanders. He studied plastic arts in Antwerp and did illustration work for the Flemish Comics Centre (Vlaams Stripcentrum) from the early 1980s. In 1986, he cooperated on the collective album 'Cynisme en Sarcasme' of the publishing house Clumzy, and contributed 'Romeo's Kustperikelen' to Scriptoria's Zee-Zon-Zand-Stripboek. He then went to work for the Flemish press under the pseudonym Dust, doing the daily comic about the viking 'Wolf' in the newspapers Het Volk and Het Laatste Nieuws for six and a half years.
Sarah en Robin
In 1993, he created the semi-realistic series 'Sarah en Robin' for Suske en Wiske Weekblad at Standaard Uitgeverij. This series, about a girl and her invicible playmate, was published in albums starting in 1996. In addition, he assisted Jan Bosschaert on the inking of several albums in the series 'Sam'. In 1994, Dupré illustrated a local comic about the history of the town Courtrai. He eventually turned to animation and became character designer and lay-out artist. In 1995 he drew the comic 'Waldo's Horrorland' from a script by Dick Briel and Ruud den Drijver for Veronicagids.
He continued his comics activities with the fantasy series 'Coma' at the publishing house Glénat from 2002 to 2004. In 2005, he illustrated the episode 'La Gourmandise' in the 'Pandora Box' series of the publishing house Dupuis. In 2006 he started working on a comic based on the French TV series 'Kaamelott' with writer Alexandre Astier for the publishing house Casterman. In 2010 he created the series 'Interpol' with Alcante for Dupuis, and his series about Nordic mythology, 'Midgard', for which he does script and art, is published since 2011. In that same year, he received the Bronzen Adhemar, the official Flemish Community Cultural Prize for Comics.

Obama Corporate Tax Proposal Explained
President Barack Obama is proposing to lower federal corporate taxes. What does he want in return from Republicans? How much corporate cash is sitting overseas that, if repatriated to the U.S., could be taxed? WSJ's Jason Bellini has #TheShortAnswer. Image: Getty

The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau today issued nationwide rules that mirror some provisions of California's new Homeowners Bill of Rights.
Like California's new mortgage servicing laws, the nationwide rules prohibit banks from processing foreclosures after a homeowner has applied for a loan modification.
The new rules also require loan servicers to ensure that customers have direct access to employees who would be responsible for working on a loan modification or other foreclosure alternatives.
"For many borrowers, dealing with mortgage servicers has meant unwelcome surprises and constantly getting the runaround. In too many cases, it has led to unnecessary foreclosures," CPFB director Richard Cordray said in a statement.
The new rules go into effect in January 2014.

too much imo. Does Love + Martin get you more wins than Klay + Lee ?
This trade will likely make them weaker defensively, but offensively they'll be stronger.
It's a tough decision letting Klay go but I do think adding Love to the rest of the team does get you more wins. I don't even really factor Martin into this. I would probably rather not have Martin on my team to be honest, except maybe to bring him off the bench occasionally for some scoring punch. But he will probably give up as many points as he will score, if not more, so you have to choose your situations and match ups for when it is advantageous to have him on the floor.
On the offensive end Love can do so many different things from all over the floor. He can hit threes like Klay does, making up for some of what was lost. With his "floor-stretching", and his passing ability, the dynamic on the floor will change quite a bit. It will create a lot of open shots for his teammates. Much more so than with the current lineup in my opinion.
Defensively, they may slip somewhat, but I think the improvements offensively will more than make up for it.
There are a few different scenarios for this trade being reported. The latest I read is Lee and Thompson for Love, Martin, J.J. Berea and Minnesota's No. 1 pick (13th overall).
I don't mind having KMartin for one year, then trading him as an expirer next offseason. He can score, hit the outside shot quite well and most importantly get to the foul line, something Klay doesn't do much of, being more a shooter than anything else. In fact, that could well be a key thing if we got Love and Klay, that they both draw fouls and shoot a good number of FTs, a stat that the team was one of the least at, getting FTs. KMartin isn't much of a passer ans is a terrible defender but his offense could be valuable at times. I would be open to trading him to a third team for one or two serviceable players, even a future 1st or 2nd rounder but that's only if our FO can get at least one other player that can score enough to offset the loss of Klay's scoring some three quarters (75%, so about 14-15pts a game).
As for KMartin giving up as many points as he scores himself, not necessarily because the team plays a very good team defense that could buffer KMartin's opposing player from scoring easily. I think DGreen starting at SF and Iguodala at SG would be the best lineup most of the time, being amazing defensively, as well as at almost every other aspect of the game. KMartin is still serviceable and used well could be quite valuable.
Your team's defense is only as good as its weakest link. If Martin's teammates are helping out on his man for him, they're leaving somebody open. A good passing team like the Spurs is going to find the open man and get buckets. Even if it's not Martin's man that scores, it's his fault.
I agree he's a capable scorer, but other than that I don't see him as a winning teammate. His offense is only good in the sense that he can shoot, and he can find ways to score. But the rest of his offense is mediocre. Not a playmaker, doesn't create for his teammates, doesn't pass well, doesn't crash the offensive boards. And we know how he is on defense. He's pretty much a one dimensional player. It's true he could help in certain situations, but over the long haul I think it's likely his weaknesses outweigh his strengths.
Yet the team was third best defensively last season with weak to average defenders in Lee and Curry.
I'm alright with KMartin for one season, see exactly what he gives us, then trade him as a pretty big salary expirer to some team in need of a scorer. In fact, Charlotte is in desperate need of outside shooting so maybe trading him there for someone like GHenderson could be done immediately when the trade for Love happens.

Last summer, I posted with approval a critique of the report by Louis Freeh regarding Penn State's actions related to the sexual abuse committed by former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. The critique was written by a friend of mine — a top-notch lawyer and former federal prosecutor. Our conclusion was that the Freeh report is badly flawed and that the case against Joe Paterno is weak to non-existent on the current record.
Last week, the law firm of King & Spalding issued a critique of the Freeh report. The authors are former Attorney General Richard Thornburgh; Jim Clemente, a former FBI profiler and prosecutor, and an expert in child sex crimes; and Fred Berlin, a physician, psychiatrist and psychologist at Johns Hopkins, and an expert in public health approaches to child sex abuse.
The report concludes:
[T]he Freeh report reflects an improper "rush to injustice." There is no evidence that Joe Paterno deliberately covered up known incidents of child molestation by Jerry Sandusky to protect Penn State football or for any other reason; the contrary statements in the Freeh report are unsupported and unworthy of belief. . . .
[T]here is no reason to believe that Joe Paterno understood the threat posed by Jerry Sandusky better than qualified child welfare and law enforcement professionals. There is no evidence that Joe Paterno conspired with Penn State officials to suppress information because of publicity concerns. And Joe Paterno's testimony before the grand jury in 2011 was truthful. . . .
[T]he full story behind the tragic events involving Jerry Sandusky is not the one told by the Freeh report.
The King & Spalding report won't reverse the "rush to injustice" it describes. Sports journalists are oh so comfortable with, and indeed invested in, the easy narrative that Joe Paterno turned out to have feet of clay, the result of his (alleged) absolute power at Penn State. It's a morality tale that's "too good to check," and certainly one that can't be overcome by a report paid for by the Paterno family.
Would distinguished lawyers like Thornburgh and Clemente (neither of whom I know personally) consciously or unconsciously shape their findings to please the parties who are paying them? I don't know.
But in this case, their integrity wasn't put to much of a test. In my view, largely for the reasons set forth in my original post, the Freeh report is so weak that no careful, intelligent reader would put stock in its conclusions pertaining to Joe Paterno.

Monday Morning Standings – Round 2
And no rest for the wicked…round 2 starts tonight!
Round 1 of these playoffs had to have been the most exciting since the legendary spring of '06. Only thing that would have made it better was if Chi-town could have finished that amazing comeback. Round 2 will need to be epic to match that awesomeness…but with a Bruins/Flyers series and Red Wings/Sharks series it should be pretty good.
Anyways, I'll try and force Racki to put up another prediction post, but if not I'm picking Detroit, Nashville, Washington and Philadelphia all in 6 games. In the last prediction post, I nailed the east (maybe missed the number of games here and there) but absolutely booted the west…maybe I should start watching more western conference games! Damn eastern biases.
EDITED BY RACKI: Since I'm too lazy to put up another prediction post, I will pick the following:
Predators in 6, Detroit in 6, Washington in 5, Philadelpha in 7… exactly what I went with in HL's pool.
Nothing new on the Oilers front except for some picks being signed to ELC's. Can't wait for the draft.
Wait! Eberle and Dubnyk are playing for Canada at the WC. Eberle got a point in the exhibition against France while Dubnyk looked a little shaky from what I saw of the highlights. Lets go Canada!
The rest of the MMS:

Also, Three Terrific Series Worth Exploring More Deeply.
- The Food and Cooking Of… series from Anness Publishing. Beautifully photographed, slightly hard-to-find introductions to far-flung cuisines. This year's The Food and Cooking of Scandinavia is particularly lovely.
- The New Voices in Food series from Globe Pequot. Understated paperbacks featuring up-and-coming young chefs. You might walk right past them if you weren't particularly looking for them, but some of the recipes are gems.
- The Savor the South series from UNC Press. Terrific idea, ingredient-focused, attractively and affordably produced. The first two are Pecans and Buttermilk.
And don't forget some of the wonderful cookbooks we loved this past summer, especially: Asian Tofu, The Fresh and Green Table, Herbivoracious, The Fresh Egg, and The United States of Pie.
Finally, as always, for cooks who love a good food story, there's my own A Spoonful of Promises: Recipes & Stories from a Well-Tempered Table.
I set the deadline last week, so the packages have been rolling in at speed.
Every season, though, there's one–the Mysterious Empty Package, hastily sent by a tired, hard-working cookbook publicist. Either that, or it's the Invisible Book of Invisibility (first encountered in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban).
At least it wasn't sent Delivery Confirmation, like last year's.
For more Tuesday silliness, here's my Eat Your Books post on bossy cookbook titles.
I know I say it every year, but every year it's true. The competition in cookbooks gets fiercer and fiercer, and the books get better and better. So it was with a whopping mix of trepidation, affection, and guilt that I made the NPR holiday cookbook roundup selections this month. (The Weekend Edition Sunday audio link is here.) The ones I chose are, without exception, remarkable cookbooks. But this year I wanted to say a word about the rest of the shortlist, too.
Any one of the additional shortlisted books below, which did not make it into this year's roundup, might have made it into the top 10 a few years ago, and every one of them captured my heart in one way or another. Many of them were right up there with the finalists in the new rating system.
My hope in including them here is to share the richness and diversity of the cookbook world we live in, to recognize the fantastic contributions of some truly noteworthy authors and cooks, and–of course– to offer you a few more gift ideas. For more great holiday cookbook ideas, stay tuned for the Boston Globe roundup in a few weeks.

One of the world's most famous historic sites, the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu in Peru, has been given the gigapixel treatment in a stunning photo showing the location in unprecedented detail.
The 15.9-gigapixel image – the work of photographer and Peru-based tour director Jeff Cremer – is believed to be the highest-resolution photograph ever taken of the legendary archeological site, and allows viewers to zoom in to examine any part in fabulous detail.
And while your humble compact camera may not be quite up to the job of taking such a picture, the technology needed isn't as out of reach as you might imagine.
Here's what Cremer used to help him create his 297,500 x 87,500-pixel masterpiece:
– a Canon 7D DSLR ($1500)
– a 400mm lens ($600)
– a Gitzo Basalt Explorer tripod ($440)
– a GigaPan Epic Pro mount ($895)
Almost 2,000 photographs were needed to build the high-resolution image, which Cremer then stitched together using GigaPan software, designed especially for a project like this.
While Cremer managed to capture all the images in under two hours, it wasn't all plain sailing, with his software seizing up during the shoot causing some worries along the way. "I had to restart the camera and the software, then I had to find exactly where in the image the software froze, then back up and reshoot the missed images," he said, adding, "If I didn't capture all of the missing images the entire project would have failed."
Cremer says on the image's website that he hopes the picture will bring attention to the problems facing the historic site, which is suffering due to the huge number of tourists visiting each year.
"In 2008, the World Monuments Fund placed Machu Picchu on its Watch List of the 100 Most Endangered Sites in the world because of environmental degradation due to tourism," Cremer explained. "Beautiful, historical and threatened, I believe that this remarkable site deserved a remarkable photo."
He continued, "I think that this image can help preserve this amazing place and bring more awareness to the site, its history and its endangered state."
Ironically, Cremer's favorite part of his image doesn't include any part of Machu Picchu itself. Instead he highlights a person standing on top of one of the mountains in the background. "Before I explored the image, I never even knew that it was possible to climb up there," he said.
View the 15.9-gigapixel shot here, then check out the video below to see Cremer working on the shoot.

Interface: a journal for and about social movements is a forum bringing together activists from different movements and different countries, researchers working with movements, and engaged academics from different disciplines to contribute to the production of knowledge that can help us gain insights across movements and issues, across continents and cultures, and across political and disciplinary traditions: learning from each other's struggles.
Interface is open-access (free), globally organised in different regional collectives and multi-lingual. We aim to develop analysis and knowledge that allow lessons to be learned from specific movement processes and experiences and translated into a form useful for other movements – hence our name. In doing so, our goal is to include material that can be used in a range of ways by movements – in terms of its content, its language, its purpose and its form. As a "practitioner journal", the peer-reviewed elements of the journal are reviewed by one activist and one academic reviewer prior to publication.

"The decision to move to Linux on Fujitsu Servers has proven to be the right one so far. From both a stability and cost perspective we are very satisfied with Fujitsu Servers."
Willy Schockert Technical Director, Clearstream
When assets are traded, both parties need to be sure that they will receive their part of the transaction. Given the complexity, speed, and quantity of assets involved, a fast, secure and trusted third-party is absolutely essential for settling transactions. Clearstream is a leading European supplier of such post-trading services. The whollyowned subsidiary of Deutsche Börse ensures that cash and securities are promptly and effectively delivered to trading parties. It also manages and administers the securities that it holds on behalf of its customers. Over 300,000 domestic and internationally traded bonds, equities and investment funds are currently on deposit with Clearstream. Clearstream International was formed in January 2000 through the merger of Cedel International and Deutsche Börse Clearing. The full integration of Clearstream was completed in July 2002.
Until 2009, all of Clearstream's core applications were supported by UNIX-based servers. In order to build a future-proof and cost-efficient foundation for further growth, the infrastructure needed to move to a standardized platform with fast processors.
By moving to a new server platform based on Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX600 and RX300 servers, Clearstream improved the performance of the platform, reduced its costs – and now has a stable server infrastructure for future growth in place.

Tom Sturridge making Broadway debut
Actor TOM STURRIDGE is set to make his Broadway debut alongside SHIA LABEOUF and ALEC BALDWIN in the forthcoming revival of ORPHANS.
The young star and LaBeouf will play orphaned brothers who kidnap a wealthy man, played by Baldwin, only for the siblings to form an odd bond with their victim.
Commenting on the casting news on Twitter.com, the 30 Rock funnyman writes, "It's Tom Sturridge, Shia LaBoeuf and moi. Gonna be interesting."
The Lyle Kessler drama, which was adapted into a 1987 film starring Albert Finney and Matthew Modine, will begin previews at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in New York on 19 March (13), and will officially open on 7 April (13).
Sienna Miller's rumoured fiance will join LaBeouf as a Broadway newbie, but it won't be Sturridge's first time on stage - the On the Road actor has previously honed his theatre skills in London in 2009 play Punk Rock, for which he won the Critics' Circle Theatre Award for Best Newcomer.

Oct. 12, 2007
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Junior Neil Zimmerman recorded a goal and two assists in a span of four hectic first-half minutes on Thursday evening, helping to propel the visiting Engineers to a 5-2 non-conference victory over Johnson and Wales University at Pierce Stadium. The result pushed MIT's overall record to 6-4-1 and meant that the squad equaled its 2006 win-total with still four games to play in the regular season.
The Wildcats fell to 6-4-3 with the loss, which was just their second in their last nine matches.
Junior Andrew Bishara pitched in with a goal and an assist, while senior Chase Lochmiller and rookie Christian Therkelsen rounded out the scoring for the Cardinal and Gray, which was also aided by an own goal.
Zimmerman's long throw-ins wreaked havoc on the Wildcats' defense all night, and they ultimately led to every one of Tech's first three goals. A 19th minute heave from the Dallas, Texas, native found the head of Bishara in the penalty area, and the tri-captain directed his shot past Johnson and Wales goalkeeper Michael Gentile to tally his fifth goal of the season. Just over one minute later, Therkelsen was the recipient of another Zimmerman throw, and the Norwegian freshman collected the ball at the six-yard box and fired his team-leading seventh goal of the season into the back of the net. The Engineers rounded out a frenzied four-minute span when yet another long throw-in from Zimmerman was tipped into the net by Gentile, giving credit for the goal to the MIT midfielder and extending the lead to 3-0.
A 30th minute own goal pushed Tech's advantage to 4-0 before the Wildcats put forth a second-half comeback attempt. A Jeremiah Schenzel header, off a cross from Scott Kirchner, got the home side on the board in the 56th minute, before Michael Gliniecki made the score 4-2 when he converted a 76th minute penalty kick.
However, that would be as close as Johnson and Wales would get to the Engineers, as Lochmiller sealed the result with an 80th minute strike after he had been played through on goal by Bishara.
Junior goalkeeper Tom Caldwell made four saves in earning his sixth victory of the season for MIT, while Gentile and Chris Limerick split time between the pipes for the Wildcats. Gentile stopped two shots and conceded two goals in 26 minutes of action, while Limerick played the final 64 minutes and recorded three saves and three goals-against.
Tech will continue its four-game road swing when it travels to Babson Park, Mass., to take on New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference foe Babson College at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13. Johnson and Wales will host St. Joseph's (Me.) College at 1:00 p.m., also on Saturday.

The Trek around Manaslu was officially opened to tourists in 1991,but mountaineering expeditions have a long had access to the area. In 1950 a party led by HWTilma trekked from Thoje to Bimtang and Colonel Jimmy Roberts crossed the Larkya La looking for an interesting mountain to climb. Manaslu ( 8156m) was attempted by Japanese expeditions every year from 1952 until 1956,when the first ascent was made. In thus became known as a 'Japanese mountain'and much of the information about the area was available only in Japanese. the Japanese countinued to dominate the climbing scene on Manaslu until 1971.A few trekkers,including the peripatetic Hugh Swift,managed to obtain trekking permits for the region,but otherwise this trek has always been the domain of the mountaineering expedition.
There are no hospitals but rescue facilities is Avaible for emergency,but there are telephone at several villages during the early part of the trek including Arught and Manaslu Khola. the manaslu Conservation Area project has radio at pork no day Television also available .

I am quite new to patchwork and quilting (about 5 years) but in this time I have taken many workshops and learnt a great deal. now i need to find the time to put things into practice!
I live in a pretty village in Somerset, Nether Stowey. We have a thriving quilting group here which I started in 2013. We meet on Monday afternoon on the 2nd and 4th Mondays each month, except August and December. Everyone is welcome to visit us.
I have not yet found my 'favourite technique', I like to try all sorts.
I am on the committee of Region 5 in the position of Newsletter Editor, hoping that my local lnowledge of quilting in the Somerset area would expand,but so far apart froma few dedicated few I have found large pockets of the area unwilling to join together with other quilters. There are some excellent local exhibitions which I love visiting and adding a report to Five Patch.
If anyone reads this in the area, please send me some information for Five Patch, it would be most welcome. I also am aware that there are several quilting groups in the area that are not listed in the newsletter. The group does not have to be affliated to the Quilter's Guild to be referenced in our magazine.

Mila Kunis puts Kutcher dating rumours to bed
BLACK SWAN star MILA KUNIS has brushed off rumours she is dating ASHTON KUTCHER, declaring, "I am totally single."
The former That 70s Show co-stars, who played high school sweethearts on the sitcom, were linked together after enjoying a cosy meal in Los Angeles last month (Jun12), but the actress is adamant Kutcher is just a friend.
She tells Elle magazine, "I am totally single... Listen, we hang out. We've known each other for 15 years. We have mutual friends. We're comfortable with one another. That's it! There's no crazy love story, nothing more."
Kunis' love life has been barren since she split from longterm boyfriend Macaulay Culkin in 2010, and she blames life in the spotlight for making it difficult to enjoy dates.
She adds, "Is a guy going to come up to me and ask if he can take me out on a date? Where can I go and have this date? I can't go anywhere! My house, his house... So what do you do? I'm trying to be like a normal girl and a single girl... but the concept of being single and in my position is just not workable. I couldn't even go on a date if I wanted to!...
"I don't go out because when I do, everybody sees me. It's not like I'm having illicit rendezvous because there's no such thing as secret in my life."

AHS International congratulates AeroVelo for reaching an altitude of about 3 m during a flight test on Friday March 15, 2013 of their "Atlas" Human Powered Helicopter (HPH). Reaching 3 m is one of the three major requirements for achieving the AHS Igor I. Sikorsky Human Powered Helicopter Competition. Video data taken during this flight indicate that two rotors and the lowest part at the center of the aircraft (below the bicycle) were all above 3 m (9.84 ft), but two rotors were slightly below this threshold.
The AHS Sikorsky Prize requires that every part of an HPH is momentarily above 3 m, while hovering over a 10 m x 10 m (32.8 ft x 32.8 ft) for a minimum of 60 seconds. Full details of the competition are available at www.vtol.org/hph. An archive of news, photos and video about AeroVelo and other competitors for the AHS Sikorsky Prize are available at www.vtol.org/hph-news.
During this final flight of March 8, AeroVelo reached and the apogee of approximately 3 m, but a rotor clipped one of the structural line. This resulted in a crash, causing major structural damage to two trusses and rotors. AeroVelo is currently repairing "Atlas" for additional flight testing.
In other testing on March 15, AeroVelo flew "Atlas" 8 times for as long as 40 seconds, while controling the aircraft over teh 10 m x 10 m box. The aircraft is being tested at The Soccer Centre in Vaughan, Ontario, outside of Toronto.
AHS wishes all of our HPH competitors the best of luck in competing in the competition. The AHS Sikorsky Prize was initiated by AHS in 1980 and has remained unclaimed for a third of a century.

You are here
Buy that SUV now!
Last week's Union budget turned out to be a big letdown for the Indian car industry, as you can see in our report. This was especially the case for SUV manufacturers. The proposal to raise excise duty on SUVs from the current 27 per cent to 30 per cent has thrown the industry that's already struggling, into an even tougher spot.
But if you have been planning to buy an SUV for sometime now, we'd suggest you giddy-up and put your money on one immediately. Mahindra dealers across Delhi/NCR have informed us that the prices of the popular XUV 500 could shoot up between Rs 50,000-80,000, depending on the variant, as soon as the budget proposals are implemented. Dealers tell us that even if you are planning to finance your car then you will need to spend around Rs 2,000 extra per month on a three-year loan.
Delaers of luxury brands like Audi and BMW which saw a lot of sales traction thanks to affordable SUVs, tell us that it would be safe to expect a minimum price hike of atleast Rs 1 lakh on their entry level compact SUVs. The top versions could even cost a bigger chunk, closer to Rs 3 lakh or maybe even more.
Time to tear open that money mattress and get that SUV, eh TopGearheads?

Then Sunday night, I was checking my email and I received this:
Hello Megan – I realize you don't know me from a hole in the ground but I faithfully read your blogs and articles in Quilter's Home. I've even passed your blog address along to other people so they too could enjoy your humor.
Anyway – ( I hate saying anywho ) in one of your blog entries you posted a picture of some fabric with cherry pies on it and wondered what kind of quilt you could make with it for your brother. Well, I looked through my stash (I have a huge stash) and found that same fabric with some red fabric and made you a quilt. I've attached pictures and I really would like for you to have it. You can send it to your brother, sister, or let one of your kids have it – I just want you to know that I made it for you.
I'm not the greatest quilter – but I loved your cherry pie story about you and your brother and knew I had to make it. I also make my quilts a bit different from most people as I live in Memphis, TN and just don't need a very heavy quilt. So I sew a patchwork top and then sew the top to a fleece backing.
So if you don't mind accepting an average made quilt for you or one of your family members – I'd love to send it to you – but I do need your address.
Rest assured that I won't sell it to any telemarketer (sp?) or post it any where for 1000's to see or hop in my car and drive to where ever to stalk you.
-Tammy V.
This is not the first time that someone I do not know has reached out and done something unbelievably kind for me. I even have another one to share with you, but the time isn't quite right for that one yet. Because I really do want the cherry-pie themed item I give to my brother to be made by my hands, I asked Tammy if it would be alright for me to keep this for myself. Because it will have a special place here in my studio, where I can see it every day, and it will connect me not just to her but to all of you, who read what I have to write and are so dear to me, though I don't know any of you at all, really. And it will always make me think of my brother, and of how he surprised he was to become the object of so much overwhelming love and concern. Because it still surprises me how much of that same kind of love comes my way, too.
Thank you, Tammy.

Happy Thanksgiving
I wonder if any of the Pilgrims or First Peoples at the original Thanksgiving took the time to consider what a cool bird the turkey is. Or did they simply add it to their life list before shooting it with the blunderbuss and dropping it in the big black cauldron? Most ponderable, that.
If you're into learning more about the wild turkey, check out the Peterson Field Guide's video podcast about the species here. Click on the yellow Species Profile tab, then the wild turkey icon.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with lots of reasons to be both happy and thankful. Beware the tryptophan.

Activision has, today, officially shut down Bizarre Creations. A champion developer, Bizarre is responsible for hours upon hours of gaming fun and enlightenment. Their track record hasn't been entirely composed of massively successul titles, but the great games within their portfolio are unforgettable.
These are the folks behind Project Gotham Racing 3 and Geometry Wars, arguably two of the best games available on the Xbox 360 early in its lifespan. Prior to this generation, the team is responsible for a slew of titles, most of which center around their greatest set of assets: the ability to make great racing games.
The reason for the studio's closure, while not definite, can be linked back to a statement released by Activision in November of last year. The culprit for the discussion at hand was the commercially underperforming kart racer, Blur. As VG247 had it:
"Over the past three years since our purchase of Bizarre Creations, the fundamentals of the racing genre have changed significantly. Although we made a substantial investment in creating a new IP, Blur, it did not find a commercial audience. Bizarre is a very talented team of developers, however, because of the broader economic factors impacting the market, we are exploring our options regarding the future of the studio, including a potential sale of the business."
When this closure was finalized back in January, almost exactly a month ago, Activision Worldwide Studios' COO Coddy Johnson spoke with Develop:
"I want to be clear, our first choice was to try and keep this group together and find a buyer for the studio… [Activision has] explored a lot of leads – pretty much anyone you can imagine in the industry. But unfortunately, so far we've not been able to find any interested parties. So we've made as a last resort, a recommendation to the team for closure."
The video at the top of this post is an emotional tribute of the work produced by Bizarre Creations made by an employee at the studio and released today, that day the offices close. Eamon Urtone did up a beautiful farewell to the studio.
Take time to wish your best to all of the talent leaving the studio.

No taper! When was the last time so many were so wrong?
This morning, I listed three reasons why the trading community was convinced the Federal Reserve would begin tapering. Let's look at them again and what Chairman Ben Bernanke said about each:
First, unemployment gradually declining. Bernanke, in his press conference, acknowledged that the unemployment rate was declining.

A report on Voodoo Extreme states that Guild Wars 2 is delayed from a release that was expected this year, saying the online RPG sequel is not due until 2010-2011. We unsuccessfully attempted to follow-up on this with NCsoft, since the source of the information isn't clear, but Tadej helped out by point the way to this zipped NCsoft presentation that includes the data that indeed places the release of Guild Wars 2 in a 2010-2011 release window, with a "to be announced" label.

WESTMINSTER, Md. – McDaniel exploded for five goals in a 1-minute, 51-second stretch to turn an 11-9 deficit into a 14-12 Centennial Conference (CC) men's lacrosse victory over Muhlenberg on Saturday.
Patrick Serio (Marriottsville, Md./Marriotts Ridge) led the Green Terror (6-7, 3-3 CC) with a career-best six goals – the most by a McDaniel player since DJ Rickels tallied six in 2010.
Tom Glancy led the Mules (2-10, 1-5 CC) with four goals while Pat Farrell had two goals and three assists.
Serio finished a pass from Sean Brett (Hamilton, N.J./Notre Dame) that drew the Green Terror within 10-9 with 7:34 to play but a Muhlenberg player was called for an unreleasble unnecessary roughness hit on Serio, giving McDaniel a man advantage for two minutes.
The Mules won the ensuing faceoff and called timeout. Out of the break, Austin Akner went right to goal and scored to stretch the lead back to two.
However, Matt Dupras (Hillsborough, N.J./Immaculata) needed just 33 seconds to find Jason Lawrence (Fallston, Md./Fallston) to close the gap back to one.
With 5:47 showing, Lawrence hit Serio for the second man-up tally of the penalty to knot the game.
Just after the penalty expired, Serio scored again off a Timothy McNichol (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mount Lebanon) pass for a 12-11 advantage with 5:22 remaining.
Just 27 seconds later, Kevin Nicholas (Glen Cove, N.Y./Glen Cove) hit the back of the net for a 13-11 lead.
McNichol capped the burst with 4:48 showing, finishing a Serio assist.
Glancy scored a man-up goal with 1:05 to play to set the final margin.
Neither team led by more than one until the Mules scored three straight in the third quarter.
Brett staked McDaniel to a 1-0 lead just 2:56 into the game before Jason Mertz and Elliott Dennis tallied 25 seconds apart for a 2-1 lead with 3:34 on the clock.
Serio and Steven Cassella traded goals to keep it a one-goal game after one quarter.
Unassisted tallies from Brett and Zach Monzo (Collegeville, Pa./Spring-Ford) in the first 2:42 of the second quarter gave the Green Terror a 4-3 lead before Jon Thomas scored a man-up goal with 8:42 showing.
Troy Becker (Yardley, Pa./Notre Dame) put McDaniel back in front before Glancy and Michael Heenan gave Muhlenberg a 6-5 advantage at the break.
Brett evented the game 2:44 into the third quarter before a Farrell goal and two from Glancy made it a 9-6 Mule lead after three quarter.
Two Serio tallies closed the deficit to 9-8 before Farrell pushed the lead back to two with 8:01 to play.
Zach Bicho (Millstone, N.J./The Hun School of Princeton) won 19 of his 27 faceoffs, picking up 14 ground balls himself.
McDaniel returns to action at Ursinus on Saturday. Game time is 5 p.m.

This video is a demonstration of the new shooting capabilities of a universal jamming gripper that also utilizes positive pressure.
If your job involves tasks such as sorting springs and screws or unloading dishwashers, a robot replacement may soon be on the way.
For now, the granular-gripper robot demonstrated in the video above is perhaps best suited as a sidekick for bar games you might play while trying to grab the attention of a potential flesh-and-bone soul mate.
That is, assuming the potential mate doesn't fall for the robot instead. After all, its barroom athleticism is tough to beat — able to sink mini-basketball shots with uncanny accuracy and hit the bull's eye on the dartboard time and time again.
The tossing ability of jamming robot gripper is a new trick from roboticists working on the grasping technology at Cornell University and the University of Chicago.
The gripper itself is essentially a balloon filled with granular material, in this case coffee grounds. This squishy balloon hand conforms to whatever object it touches. When the air is sucked out of the balloon, a tight grip is created. To toss the object, the gripper is rapidly re-inflated with air.
While this all seems simple, anyone who's tried to consistently sink baskets on the court or in a bar knows that picking up balls and tossing them repeatedly through the hoop isn't nearly as easy as it seems.
From the roboticists' perspective, the technology is an improvement over other throwing robots.
"Certainly throwing has been demonstrated with robot arms before, but the momentum for throwing is typically provided by the arm motion while the gripper simply releases the object at the optimum time," the researchers write in a FAQ accompanying their paper to appear in IEEE Transactions on Robotics.
"Here, the entirety of the shooting function is provided by the gripper."
While the shooting skill of the robot isn't good enough for it to go to work tossing together electronic components, which requires higher precision, it is good enough to pick up trash after a good house party.
Other potential applications, the team notes, include picking up and quickly disposing of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). After all, the research is supported by DARPA.

I'm building information about how the Ford Six (K) for 1907 compared with competitors.
The first group I'll compare are cars in the same to slightly higher price range with the K. since almost all the autos in the $3,000 price range also received votes in the Motor Magazine 1907 Contest to win a $3,000 or less car, I'll include their rank in the voting too.
The list is by Rank, Name, Cost, horsepower, wheelbase and number of cylinders (all close competitors of the Model K had four cylinder engines). Following this information is the weight divided by horsepower ratio.
Following the data, I'll provide photos of the cars in roughly the same order, so you may scroll down to view the car after reading the specs. Hope you find this interesting (I do) and informative.
I'll also list the "rank" the car was selected in the "Contest" where 6500 voters selected the auto $3,000 or less they would choose if given one.
Thomas Flyer - I'll start with the most "famous" big car of the era. The survey was conducted prior to the New York to Paris race, however the Thomas is still the hands on favorite among the survey contestants.
(Alexander Malcomsen's new company)
Other $3000 autos on the market and their Contest rank:
* Air Cooled
** Chain Drive
What have I learned?
The Model is near the top in it's class in horsepower to weight ratio.
The Ford "six" is the only six cylinder offered in this class.
Only one car offers more horsepower.
Ford also has the longest wheelbase in the class.
I'll follow up with photos of all the cars listed. Hope you enjoy,
OK, pics and specs of the cars listed above. Some interesting cars "back in the day".......
OK, now on to comparing the Ford Six to the other sixes of 1907.
Looking back over these cars, it's no wonder the K came in 5th in the Motor magazine survey contest. I think the appearance along with Ford name recognition and reasonable priced six cylinder on the market make the Model K an appealing choice for the high end market.

NJones needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 34 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
We are seeking to upgrade our website: Landairprojectresources.com to reflect the goals of Landair's business strategy. We are interested in simple and clear communication of our business, services, areas of expertise and target client profile. The site should be easy to navigate, and aesthetically, it should represent the firm as an industry leader with a national reach.
Landair helps clients maximize the value of their real property assets through our real estate development planning, development management, owner's representation, technical consulting and transaction services, designed to fulfill the needs of businesses, public institutions, and private investors.
Design scope should include a Home page as well as an internal page template. The design should emphasize our scope of services. Selected projects should be graphically highlighted.
We would like the home page to include a graphic that covers 2/3 of the page. We are open to the type of image as long as it represents our core business. We do not want visitors to have to scroll down too much on our home page. Everything should be seen within the opening window – which will limit straight text and allow for a more welcoming graphic presentation.
We are open to a top or left side navigation. We will also consider a combination of the two for the navigation of our headers – Consulting Experience, Clients, What's New, Our Team, Affililate Companies, Projects Gallery, Career, and Contact Us.
Home Page

We are one of the industry's most respected independent consultancy practices; known for our ability to successfully lead large and complex projects, and as an industry leader positioned within the corporate, entertainment, cultural and educational, medical, market residential, and government sectors.
A list of words that describe our organization:
Strategic perspective
Creative problem solvers
Quality control
Client focussed
Technical expertise
Real world experience—practitioners rather than theorists
Impeccable client care
A passion for our work
Pride in our client's accomplishments, through our guidance

Seasoned professionals
Diverse range of projects and industries
Superb record of completed, successful projects
WEB Site Map
Landair HOME
We would like the home page to include a graphic that conveys examples of our completed projects and of projects in process.
We do not want visitors to have to scroll down on our home page. Everything should be seen within the opening window – which will limit straight text and allow for a more welcoming graphic presentation. The page should be clean and the information well organized, with not too much text.
Our existing logo needs slight tweaking—and we are open to other color combos for it, if there is a reason to back this up. We would like to logo to read without the capital A: that is, we are Landair. It can appear in all caps or as here.
We reference 3 web sites that have various attributes that are of interest. Our web site should incorporate these aspects but not resemble anyone of these. Web site 1 is http://www.milrose.com. What we like about this website is that the information is very well organized –immediately clear—and easy to navigate. What we don't like about it is the color, the fact that it very much looks like an off—the- shelf template, etc.
Our projects are all unique, and many are unusual, and so our Web site should convey this—rather than look like it is off the shelf, one size fits all.
The second web site is; http://www.GE.com. It is clean and says a lot about the power of this firm by simple, clear statements and graphics. It conveys a global reach. Obviously we are not GE, but we are a leader in our own niche and our web site should convey that we have the capability for the largest and most complex projects.
The third is http://www.rrcmusic.com We are not interested in having an opening "ta da" sequence, but what is appealing about this site is that it conveys that the people in this firm are of top drawer quality and they each hold talents of value for a client. It conveys not just the standar who/what/where. It says why—showing the passion that the people have for their work. It conveys a sense of style and brand.
We would like flash incorporated into the design to highlight areas of the site. We are also open to seeing items "pop" or move graphically throughout the page. We are open to the content used as long as it is not too distracting. We would like to have a placeholder on the Home page to insert 1 sentence news or new client projects on a regular basis.
• Clean design
• Visually appealing
• Clear Terminilogy
• Immediate clarity – we want the skills and services we provide easily identifiable
• Balance of aesthetics and communication
• Easy Navigation
• Clear visual communication
• Flash elements woven throughout
• Simple design / graphics that we can incoporate into presentation materials
• Ability to modify the back end and make updates.
Color Scheme
We are looking for a professional design that incorporates colors that say: excellence, high proficiency, and impeccable client care.
Looking for something sophisticated but not cold and off-putting. We are looking for a good balance of white space. Elements should be spaced throughout the page.
We will consider top naviagtion / menu bar or a combination of top navigation with left side section navigation.
Layout / Dimensions
920px – 940px wide.
File Format
We would like the design delivered in Photoshop .psd or HTML. PSD files must be intact, well organized and clearly labeled.
• Anything too flashy
• Too much searching to find key information.
• Cumbersome design
• Architectural looking
• Site overcrowding

IRVINE — Taylor Sparks has been more explosion than ignition lately for the UC Irvine baseball team's offense.
But it was perhaps his least impressive hit of late that proved to be the difference in the Anteaters' 4-3 triumph in 11 innings over visiting Cal State Northridge in the opener of a three-game Big West Conference series at Anteater Ballpark.
Sparks, who now has 12 runs batted in in his last five games, lifted a soft single just over the glove of retreating first baseman William Colantono to drive in Connor Spencer with the game-winner. It was the second RBI of the game for Sparks, who went three for six and is now 10 for 21 with 12 RBIs in his last five contests.
Spencer, who walked to open the inning and advanced to second on a wild pitch, slid safely home as the throw from right fielder Chester Pak skipped past catcher Alexis Mercado to give the Anteaters (22-8, 4-3 in conference) their third win in three extra-inning contests this season.
The win helped UCI move from a four-way tie for fourth place, into a four-way logjam for third with Northridge, UC Riverside and Long Beach State.
Cal State Fullerton edged UCSB, 4-3, on Friday, to improve to 7-0 in conference play. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is second at 5-2.
Sparks, who singled in the fifth to end a streak of his last eight hits going for extra bases, was eager to get a chance at redemption from some late-inning missteps Friday. He struck out with runners on first and second to end the ninth inning. He then helped the Matadors score in the 10th when his throwing error led to a an unearned run that broke a 2-2 tie.
But when Ronnie Shaeffer scored on a Jerry McClanahan groundout after Shaeffer doubled to open the UCI 10th to tie the score at 3-3, Sparks, who had four homers in his previous four games, was happy to get another opportunity to be the hero.
"I was itching for the chance just to get up there again," said Sparks, who now leads the team with 25 RBIs. "After [striking out in the 10th], I was disappointed in myself. I was pumped up and nervous [in the final at-bat], but I was able to get just enough barrel [on the ball] to have it fall and I was able to help my team win."
Sparks said a change in his approach has triggered the recent hot steak, which by no coincidence, has dovetailed with UCI's season-best six-game winning streak.
"I slowed down my whole hitting approach," Sparks said. "I'm keeping my weight back in my stance more and I realize now it's easier to recognize pitches. I'm just seeing the ball real well."
UCI saw its 2-0 lead erased when the visitors scored single runs in the fourth and eighth.
UCI starter Andrew Thurman struck out nine and allowed just five hits in 7 2/3 innings. But he left with no decision after allowing two runs.
Scott Gottschling went two for four and Dominique Taylor was two for five to help the Anteaters post 12 hits, five more than the Matadors, who had four of the game's six errors.
Gottschling (in right field), Taylor (in center) and Kris Paulino (in left field) all made diving catches to help limit Cal State Northridge (18-16, 4-3), which came in on a five-game winning streak.
"They wanted it bad, and they were battling just like we were," Taylor said. "But we wanted it more."
Mitch Merten, the last of four UCI pitchers, picked up the win to improve to 3-1.
The two teams resume the series on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Sarkozy victory: Timely reprieve or dying gasp?
By Christopher G. Adamo
Credit must be given where credit is due on the far side of the Atlantic. France, noted in recent years for pacifism and capitulation to the various enemies of the West, has now elected a pro-America leader who promises to enact an unmistakably conservative program of reform. His goal is to bolster the French economy while shoring up its deteriorating national identity.
Admittedly, the term "conservative" holds a far different meaning among Europeans than it does in America. Nevertheless, Sarkozy's campaign, clearly defined from that of his socialist opponent, Segolene Royal, embodies an ideology that lauds hard work and individual initiative.
Elsewhere on the international front, Sarkozy seeks to begin overhauling the currently disastrous immigration policy, which has led to a Muslim subculture of such enormity that it threatens the very essence of everything traditionally French. The massive scale of last year's Muslim riots apparently served as a "wake up call" to the nation's citizens who defied anti-nationalist rhetoric of the "politically correct" crowd to rally around Sarkozy.
Not surprisingly, the post election riots of the past few days, which in many ways mirrored those of last summer, were perpetrated not by militant Muslims, but by angry socialists who abhor Sarkozy's agenda of boosting France's economic status through a stronger work ethic.
Thus is the Islamist threat to France's future mirrored by the internal threats emanating from militant leftist forces. The alarming commonality of tactics employed by the two groups is only eclipsed by the commonality of their "end games."
Contrary to the rest of Europe, where appeasement and submission in the face of such a menace seems to be the norm, France is taking a decidedly rightward turn, much to the dismay of its leftists. Yet for those cognizant French who could grasp their present plight, little "wiggle room" remained. No alternative, other than complete eradication as a culture, was available.
In truth, future prospects for the entirety of the European Continent differ little from that of France. A drastic change of course is essential if it is to have any hopes of survival.
Yet many among its ruling "elites" either remain oblivious to this fact, or simply choose to deny it in the short-term for the sake of personal gain. But Europe, once the bastion of Western Civilization, is crumbling. And even the strident efforts of such far-sighted individuals as Nicolas Sarkozy may not be sufficient to save it.
In London, the most popular name for newborn boys is "Mohamed." In Germany, "progressive" court judgments set precedent for Islamic law to be instituted within self-segregated Muslim communities. Concurrently, the scourge of abortion ensures that Europeans are not repopulating their own kind at even a fraction of the rate generated among immigrant populations, abetted by new immigrant arrivals.
It has at times been tempting for Americans, long disdained and often undermined on the international scene by their European "allies," to simply sit by and watch the matriarchal continent implode upon itself. Yet America is no more immune to the long-term effects of such a scenario than any free people throughout the rest of the world.
The September 11 attacks proved to any reasoned observer that mere geographical obstacles are no longer sufficient to guarantee immunity from the malignant forces of Islamic terrorism. The same forces which relentlessly toil to bring down Europe are at work here in America as well as every corner of the globe.
The rest of the world had better wake up and take note. Momentary calm belies the impending peril. The maddening patience with which the Islamists plot their attacks serves not only to conceal their plans, it also allows the cynical and self-absorbed to grow lax and complacent. This year's indifferent spectators will be next year's targets.
Sadly, many who find themselves in such a grim scenario respond by attacking the "messenger." As the United States pursues the forces that war against it and slaughter its citizens, many in the "world community" have found it easier to castigate the Americans as "imperialists" than to face down that enemy that was not directly confronting them.
France was among such nations. But as Paris and its suburbs burned at the hands of rioting Muslim youths, and with the adversary so thoroughly entrenched within their midst, an awakening of reason apparently occurred, which directed the people of that nation to take up their own cause, and take control of their own destiny.
Several hurdles still remain for the Sarkozy government. Elections in June will determine if the Parliamentary majority, and thus the French Prime Minister, will be of Sarkozy's party or that of the socialist opposition. The fear-mongers will be out in force in the intervening weeks, hoping to convince the French people to retreat from their currently defiant stance.
Even in the event that Sarkozy establishes a Parliamentary majority, the naysayers and defeatists will no doubt be tireless in their attempts to demoralize him and thereby undermine his efforts to institute substantive change.
Yet France, Europe, and indeed all of Western Civilization remain teetering at a "point of no return." Amazing as was Sarkozy's victory, it stands as only a first step back from the brink of societal collapse. A major shift from the nihilism of the left, and a renewed resolve to stand against the encroachment of militant Islam must take place if Europe is to prevail over the insidious cultural onslaughts that presently threaten it.
