A coalition of U.S. mayors released plans this morning to take members of Congress to task for what the group perceives as votes against gun control.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns, the group co-chaired by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, will give lawmakers a letter grade and issue a scorecard based on their gun-policy record, group spokesman John McCarthy said.
The system is intended to counterbalance the National Rifle Association's scoring political candidates on their friendliness toward gun owners.
The NRA's letter ratings have typically translated to monetary support for candidates who score favorably, and the organization has used the process as a tool of influence on hot-button political debates, like the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan.
Politicians tout their NRA "A" rating as testimony to their commitment to protecting Americans' Second Amendment rights.
But Bloomberg's grades will mostly measure the opposite, taking aim at some of the NRA's A-listers like Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., for any votes they make against gun control, according to The Washington Post.
The grades will take into account stances members of Congress have taken on past legislation, as well as upcoming votes.
Bloomberg said he wants Congress to understand that "the NRA is not the only one scoring them."
"For decades the NRA has been the only voice talking about guns," he told reporters today. "They're up in arms someone's telling a different story."
Mayors Against Illegal Guns includes about 900 mayors from across the country, according to Bloomberg. Members of the organization have pushed for universal background checks and an assault-weapons ban since days after the December shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
In the weeks after Sandy Hook, lawmakers seemed to have momentum toward passing restrictions on gun ownership and sales, but fervor for gun control in Washington has cooled in recent weeks, despite President Obama's multi-state push to promote his package of tougher laws.
More than a dozen Republicans, led by Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, have said they will block a vote on any gun control legislation that comes up in the Senate.
Obama, speaking before families of Sandy Hook students Monday, condemned such efforts, calling them "political stunts."
"They're saying they'll do everything they can to even prevent any votes on these provisions," Obama told the crowd in Connecticut."They're saying your opinion doesn't matter and that's not right. That is not right."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., urged Republicans to put aside their filibuster plans for the sake of Newtown victims.
"It is impossible to prevent every senseless tragedy, but we owe it to our children to at least try," Reid said. "I hope Republicans will stop trying to shut down debate, start engaging on the tough issues we were sent to Washington to tackle."
ABC News' Aaron Katersky contributed to this report.

Broncos Insider: Seasick … Meltdown at Meadowlands … Orange Crushed: A look at the nightmare that was Super Bowl XLVIII for the Denver Broncos
YOU WOULD BE FORGIVEN, BRONCOS FAITHFUL, if you couldn't even muster getting out of bed Monday morning. If nightmares haunt you for days and weeks, in replays of what was on Sunday, you're probably even excused for Tuesday. This is your Broncos Insider Newsletter:
MELTDOWN AT METLIFE: "For Super Bowl starters, the Broncos suffered from a horrific case of stage fright. Jitters turned to panic. Panic leaked to disaster. Disaster became humiliation," writes The Denver Post's Mike Klis from East Rutherford, N.J.
"On the biggest stage in America, before more than [111 million] television viewers, in arguably the greatest live event in the world, the Broncos imploded.
"They were destroyed by the younger, more energized, rougher, tougher Seattle Seahawks." http://dpo.st/1nGjh5n
QUOTABLE: "The hardest part is we're going to have to go back and watch that game again on film. We're not looking forward to that. I wish I could have found that play that would have taken us out of that spiral," — Adam Gase, Denver Broncos offensive coordinator on Monday morning, via Mike Klis in Jersey City, N.J. http://dpo.st/1elkNau
"THERE WAS NOT ONE PLAY GASE COULD HAVE DEVISED," writes Klis. "If a play worked, there would be consequences. Demaryius Thomas set a Super Bowl record with 13 catches. His left shoulder hurt so bad the morning after, he needed help rolling his bag to the luggage cart. Linebacker Nate Irving hobbled through with a boot around his left ankle sprain. Running back Knowshon Moreno walked through with a stiff back. Middle linebacker Paris Lenon and guard Louis Vasquez had sore ribs." http://dpo.st/1elkNau

UK cities divide up fast broadband cash
The government has announced how it will share the money promised to 10 UK cities to allow them to create superfast broadband networks.
London gets the largest share of the £114m pot with £25m, followed by Leeds and Bradford, which will divide £14.4m.
The money will be used to build city-wide networks, offering homes and businesses speeds of up to 100Mbps (megabits per second).
The government wants to make the UK the fastest place in Europe by 2015.
A further £50m is to be awarded to ten smaller cities.
Digital leaders
New culture secretary Maria Miller promised last week to cut the red tape associated with broadband rollouts.
She hopes that the city networks can be built soon.
"These 10 cities have produced ambitious and comprehensive plans, which will turn them into digital leaders, and give their local economies a real boost," she said.
The new investment will help put these cities at the centre of the digital stage, competing for jobs and investment with the best in the world," she added.
However, the Labour Party accused the minister of spin.
"This government is disguising its failure to roll out universal broadband by making yet another re-announcement about the superconnected cities programme," said the Shadow Minister for Media and Telecoms, Helen Goodman.
"It is also unlikely that the government will meet its target of rolling out super-fast broadband to 90% of premises by 2015."
Alongside the government money, each city is expected to invest some of its own funds in the broadband projects.
The 10 cities' plans are expected to bring superfast broadband access (offering speeds between 80 and 100 megabits per second) to around an extra 230,000 residential and 55,000 business premises as well as high speed wireless to even more.
All the networks are due to be completed by 2015.

The Bodybuilding Blog has been consistently giving the much-needed insights into different muscle building exercises. On the Internet, you may often come across similar blogs, but most of them contain information that everyone already knows. Hardly do you get to learn the technical details of the exercises we want to practice.
Due to lack of information, we often continue with wrong exercises for our body that do not yield the expected results and few of us even start taking the muscle building supplements without cross verifying whether they are good enough or not. The popular fitness blog talks about two important full body exercises; Romanian Deadlift and Conventional Deadlift.
Good-Old Conventional Deadlift Can Do Wonders
Conventional deadlift is good for each and every fiber in the body and that is why it ranks higher. This is also the reason why this exercise is not as popular as it should have been, because it is difficult and very tough. Although it sounds simple because there is just one lift from the floor needed, it is certainly not simple by any means. In fact a lot goes on. Your legs press against the floor as the upper body lifts. It actually works better when the bar is placed on the floor and you are needed to stretch your hips to make the lift. Drag the weight bar up your legs and keep your arms as straight as possible because bent arms will only make you feel weaker.
Romanian Deadlifts
Romanian Deadlift has attracted a lot of debate over the years. Some say it is just a one joint exercise while some argue it is a compound exercise. As the exercise is dependent on both hip joints and knee joints, the exercise is called as multi-joint by many. On other hand, there is no actual extension or flexion in any of these joints so people also consider it as one of the isolation moves. In any case, this exercise should only be performed if you have a strong pair of legs. Keep the bar as close to your feet as possible, back should be flat, knees bent and chest should be up. Don't look up when you are in the bent position.
The Bodybuilding Blog reveals that many bodybuilders who think they have been practicing conventional deadlift are actually doing Romanian deadlift. That may not be a bad news at all, but it certainly is not a convincing full body exercise as conventional deadlift, so if you've also been under the wrong impression, it's time to open up your eyes, and know the reality.

Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute red carpet hits and misses
In a city that hosts thousands of fashion shows each year, there's no bigger — or perhaps more treacherous — runway than the red carpeted staircase of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
The museum's annual Costume Institute gala draws the top tier of the fashion design world as well as a full assortment of A-list celebrities. And they all climb the stairs, sometimes with difficulty, given the confinement or complexity of their outfits. For the first time, the arrivals were live-streamed Monday in a collaboration between the museum, Amazon and Vogue magazine, so viewers got to see what guests were wearing and hear from the designers who created the looks. I tuned in along with thousands of others.
What makes the Met gala so compelling is that the designers and guests aren't afraid to take risks. They even try to outdo each other, judging from the parade of designer gowns for "Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations."

I've been involved with a great project over the past few months which finally came to fruition last week as the CIPR's Social Media Advisory Panel launched a new social media and PR handbook.
Share This: The Social Media Handbook for PR Professionals contains 25 chapters spanning strategic resources, practical guidance, industry change and tools and technologies across a range of different sectors written by a range of experienced practitioners.
The book came about, as fellow panel-ee Julio Romo writes, because after three years providing social media counsel for the CIPR:
"last year we thought that the time was right to put together a book for everybody in business – those in PR and communications, as well as those in marketing, finance, sales and customer service. After all, social cut's across business disciplines."
Since being listed on Amazon the book has sold out – not a bad performance by a book originally conceived as a sharable pdf ebook. Ever the inquisitor, I was thinking about what has made the book so popular earlier this week and I believe I've distilled it into the following factors:
- Firstly, the handbook draws together a wealth of smart and experienced senior practitioners who cover a wide range of different topics yielding comprehensive, expert content
- Secondly, the book provides specific cases and practical detail for the changing nature of social media and PR – not just repeating platitudes about how social media is 'changing everything'
- Finally, many social media books are written by US authors whereas Share This comes at the topic from a clear UK context, incorporating case studies; campaigns results; statistics and insight from UK-based practitioners
My contribution, 'Social Media and The Third Sector', features in the industry change section and examines how organisations in the non-profit sector need to think about their communications and campaigning strategies in relation to what I term the 'new networked reality' in which they now operate.
I suggest that the nature of the sector should be ideally suited to the socially motivated aspects of this networked space but that a lot of the strategic and tactical changes that organisations need to make can run counter to conventional organisational thinking.
The chapter concludes by pointing to a future where organisations will need to become 'hybrid' and work with strategically aligned online networks of supporters, partner organisations and the increasingly networked and active public.

anyway, its much easier to preserve historical structures when only a subset remain due to a war that wiped out many.
^ Looking through these pictures i think its a real shame these buildings were destroyed. It would be interesting to see what replaced them. I've noticed that when a beautiful old building is demolished (which ever country), it's usually replaced by trash.
Streetscapes | Varick Street
A Chapel the City Fought to Save
By CHRISTOPHER GRAY
Published: April 27, 2008
IN his book Building Memory in New York, to be published by the University of Minnesota Press later this year, Randall F. Mason devotes an entire chapter to the 1807 St. Johns Chapel on Varick Street, which survived demolition threats for more than two decades until it finally fell in 1918.
American Architect and Building News/Metropolitan History
St. Johns Chapel, around 1910, was built in 1807 by Trinity Church and had an oak tower and fine interior details.
American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society/Metropolitan History
The Trinity vestry later sought to demolish the chapel, but the city tried to intervene. The vestry eventually prevailed, and the chapel was demolished in 1918.
Just after 1800, Trinity Church began developing land it owned in what is now TriBeCa, creating a private park bounded by Hudson, Varick, Beach and Laight Streets. Named St. Johns Park, it was meant to attract residential development, and was soon accepted as an elite locale.
Its centerpiece was Trinitys magnificent ecclesiastical outpost, St. Johns Chapel, which dominated the skyline from its position on Varick Street, facing the east side of the park.
Despite the satellite status of St. Johns, Trinity built ambitiously.
The chapels architect, John McComb, was also at work on City Hall, and the tower of this Georgian-style church rose 214 feet when finished in 1807. The portico and columns were made of reddish sandstone, the sides and rear of Manhattan schist stuccoed over. As for the tower, according to most period accounts it was made of oak. In 1912, The Real Estate Record & Guide reported that the chapels delicate Corinthian capitals had been the first in New York to be carved from stone.
However, in 1867 the vestry of Trinity, an Episcopal church, sold off the park to the Hudson River Railroad Company, which replaced the polite village green with a massive rail freight terminal.
This led to a general exodus, not only of St. Johns Park householders but also of chapel parishioners.
Noting residential migration uptown, The Real Estate Record & Guide reported in 1890 that residents had long ago begun to think it vulgar to live among the packing boxes, and to inhale the odor of fresh fish and tarpaulins. Two years later, The New York Times reported that the Trinity vestry had decided to demolish its colossal chapel.
Holdouts at St. Johns few of whom still lived in the neighborhood resisted the parent church. The Times said one of those holdouts the pastor of St. Johns, the Rev. Dr. Philip A. H. Brown was even known as the Fighting Vicar.
Dr. Brown died in 1909, the year that pro-demolition candidates won a vestry election at Trinity. Yet St. Johns hung on despite them; it was finally the City of New York that brought a close to its story.
The Board of Estimate decided in 1912 to widen Varick Street, in part for a new subway extension. At the time, The Record & Guide noted that St.
Johns was down to one service a week, a 7:30 a.m. Sunday communion.
The road-widening project moved forward amid growing cries from architects and historians for the preservation of the chapel. In 1913, George McAneny, the Manhattan borough president, introduced a resolution to save the church by running the sidewalk and part of the street under the columns of the portico, which would be allowed to jut out into traffic.
He even spent $15,000 to have the designs prepared, and an old photograph seems to indicate that work was undertaken.
But the key obstacle was Trinity Church, which wanted to capture the value of the land.
In 1913, The Times quoted Edward Hagaman Hall, the secretary of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society, as saying that because there was little permanence on which to fasten ones memories, affections and historical traditions, humankind needed monuments to the best and noblest human effort.
The Times was on the side of preservation, and in 1914 it editorialized that to destroy it would be vandalism.
But the Board of Estimate would not approve the sidewalk reconfiguration unless the project stipulated an actual use for the church. Trinitys vestry shrewdly offered to give the chapel structure to anyone who purchased the land.
Finally, in 1918, a quarter-century after the matter arose, St. Johns Chapel vanished and Trinity put the site on the market for more than $200,000. It was replaced by the commercial building that still stands at 50 Varick Street.
Dr. Mason, an associate professor in the School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania, has found the case of St. Johns Chapel particularly significant because of Borough President McAnenys deep involvement in trying to preserve it. Not only did Mr. McAneny put cash on the table, but it appears he also delayed the road widening as long as possible. He was no idealist, but a banker and civic leader instrumental in the 1916 zoning resolution, subway extensions, civil service reform and other issues.
Dr. Mason said he looks back on the fight to save St. Johns as an early preservation effort led not by an outside activist, but by an insider a city builder of the first order.

I think London ment more of less that today's generation is. This country and city built some great structures but in recent years greed and other elements have gotten in the way of good thinking. Im of the belief that if the Coliseum was in NY and not Rome, it would be gone by now!
[QUOTE=londonlawyer;212825]This gem was razed to make way for Vornado's filthy, disgusting 330 Madison.
What a crime. The pigs at Vornado should at least spring for a new facade for that horrific eyesore.
Americans are barbarous pigs.
Please note, Vornado only aquired the new POS short office tower in 1997, they did not build it. Kahn and Jacobs designed this POS and John Reynolds was the one to raise the original Manhattan hotel. Here is some more history on 330 Madison Ave:
The Kahn & Jacobs building dates to 1964; replaced the Manhattan Hotel as well as the National City Bank. The Manhattan Hotel was where Sigmund Freud stayed in August 1909 on his only visit to the United States. In May 1916, Sen. Warren G. Harding began his affair with Nan Britton here--a relationship that continued after Harding was elected president.
Some commentary from the web:
The 41-story tower at 330 Madison Avenue at 42nd Street that was designed by Kahn & Jacobs and built in 1964 by John J. Reynolds, a real estate broker who handled much of the real estate interests of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese, was the worst thing that happened to the avenue in decades as its banal "modernistic" design was like throwing a plastic sheet over fine furniture. It insulted and besmirched the fine masonry quality of the avenue in midtown.

330 is to be renovated and reclad from what im hearing as well very soon
It needs it. But these recladding are starting to get boring, I would love to see some variation, perhaps some cuts/slashes in the fascade, a change in the structural elements of the original building as well.
Hi - I am from Germany and I am a fan of the gone NYC too. While I searched for material about the Equitable Building (Cedar St / Broadway) opened 1915, I got more and more interested about the first Equitable Building, placed there from 1870 to 1912.
I attached some pictures from the old building I found in the www. The last two pictures were made after the building burned down in 1912.
In my ny-history-blog I wrote about it too:
Sorry it's in German language, but my sources were in English and are linked at the end of the post.
This is great. Thanks.
Here are some pictures I found of the Manhattan Life Insurance Building, another part of the old Manhattan, build in the years 1893-94, gone in 1930.

More on the Manhattan Life Insurance Building.
Manhattan Life Insurance Company Building
Height: 348 feet (106 meters) to lantern top
Original owners: Manhattan Life Insurance Company
Architects: Kimball and Thompson
Engineer: Charles Sooysmith
Constructed 1893-4
Wishing to create an architectural symbol to outshine its rivals, in 1892 the Manhattan Life Insurance Company held a competition for its new headquarters at 64-66 Broadway across from Trinity Church, selecting architects Kimball and Thompson. Partially speculative and thus a money-maker for the company as well as an image maker, the structure was intended to be the tallest in New York. When finished in 1894, the granite, terra-cotta, and brick-clad structure rose 348 feet above the sidewalk to the structureÕs lantern top. On its high floors a copper-clad iron bridge spanned the light court of the U- shaped building, which featured several engineering firsts, including the use of pneumatic caissons for the foundations, designed by engineer Charles Sooysmith. The interior was heated and cooled through one of the first uses of electric ventilation.
Though the building was widened by two additional bays in 1904, its size was eclipsed as quickly as its French Renaissance style. Manhattan Life was demolished in 1930 to make way for the Irving Trust BankÕs headquarters, the Art Deco masterpiece One Wall Street. Text by Melissa Matlins

Daily Newspaper Advertising in the 21st Century: RIP or Digital Resurrection?
By: Wayne Dawkins, Mavis Carr, and Joy McDonald
For much of the 20th century, American daily newspaper revenues came primarily from advertising, and that advertising revenue subsidized the newsgathering work of journalists who remained distant from the paper's business operations. But by the end of the first decade of the 21st century, that advertising model was critically injured by the digital revolution that instilled across-the-board changes in the habits of readers, consumers, and advertisers.
Yet, does steadily declining newspaper advertising mean the print medium is near death? Innovators at the Daily Press (Newport News, Va.) say "no."
Leaders at the Daily Press — a medium-sized local daily where advertising revenue used to cover as much as 75 percent of production cost — cite evidence that Sunday readership has trended up thanks in part to the paper's distribution of content across multiple platforms: print, online, and mobile. Surprisingly, many consumers still hold close to old conventions such as sectioned, broadsheet newspapers.
New directions, current strategies
Until the rapid expansion of digital media, hometown newspapers had always been home sweet home for local advertisers. When a local business needed to promote an upcoming event, holiday sale, or weekly special, the newspaper was a one-stop solution provider. Today, attractive websites are frequently the destination of choice for advertisers seeking to promote their goods and services to an ever-expanding audience. Conscious of the need to remain top-of-mind for advertisers, the Daily Press decided to focus its advertising strategy on bolstering its readership, an increasingly difficult proposition as audiences become easily distracted by the latest technological shiny thing.
The Daily Press' first online effort, dailyxpress.com, launched in 1995 when frustratingly slow dial-up Internet connections sorely tested online readers' patience. Those who suffered through the wait for content to appear on low-resolution computer monitors were rewarded with the Web version of a local humor column called "The Online Adventures of Ken & Glenn." Later that same year, the newspaper's pioneering Web venture expanded to offer local news, weather, sports, and entertainment to its newfound digital readership.
Reader behavior has changed dramatically since those early days on the Web. By 2011, Daily Press circulation averaged 62,010 daily and 90,622 Sunday, compared to 95,000 daily and 115,000 Sunday in the mid- to late-1990s, with much of that traffic shifting to the company's online portal. In 2011, dailypress.com averaged 314,000 unique visitors and 8.5 million pageviews every six months.
Despite readers' wholehearted shift to the Internet, newspaper advertising continued to be sold in the traditional manner. Approximately 90 percent of advertising revenue comes from print, regardless of the whirlwind changes taking place in consumer behavior, organizational structure, and seasonal demands that test the patience of advertisers.
At the Daily Press, it was once common practice for automotive advertisers to sign 52-week contracts to maintain their visibility in consumers' busy lives. After the Great Recession, national advertisers, who were thought to have bottomless pockets, were hesitant to make such extensive commitments of their coffers for a return-on-investment dependent on skittish, budget-conscious customers struggling to pay their bills in a transitory market. This has resulted in the proliferation of much shorter 30-, 60-, or 90-day advertising contracts, which in turn may explain why print editions during the holiday season are still bursting at the seams as they were in the pre-Internet era.
Sales fluctuations are the order of the new day. "Advertising is more volatile," said Amy Powers, Daily Press vice president of advertising sales, "and (the highs and lows of advertising sales) are more pronounced."
In the previous advertising climate, if a business owner wanted to place an ad to announce a grand opening, he or she called the newspaper and spoke to an ad sales rep who obediently took the order and scheduled its insertion into the section of choice. In the early days of the digital media boom, little to no advertising was sold online, as the online advertising model was still evolving and had not yet proven viable.
During a speech in Hampton, Va., in winter 2006, Al Tompkins of the Poynter Institute said newspapers sold online advertising at a rate of 30 cents for every $1 in print revenue. A month later, in March, Tompkins said the gap had widened to 10 cents online for every $1 of print advertising revenue.
While newspapers may have hesitated to leap into the online arena, this decade has proven that waiting to take action can be just as detrimental to the bottom line as taking no action at all. The Daily Press made the executive decision to charge forward into the digital realm, cognizant that doing so could mean risking virtual implosion.
With the ethos of "innovate daily, fail quickly, and move on" spurring on the advertising and marketing departments, the company went into hyper-brainstorming mode in an attempt to be everywhere the customer is. Gambling that its innovative strategy would increase advertising revenues, the media company now produces content and ads on multiple platforms, including laptops, mobile phones, and tablets.
In an email, Powers said, "The Daily Press advertising department follows the SMARTER (specific/measurable/attainable/relevant/timely/evaluate/re-evaluate) planning model. At the corporate level, the company's multimedia sales leaders focus on these areas across the organization, pairing it with strategic planning methods that are initiated in each business unit."
Finding what sticks
Sixty miles to the north, the Richmond Times-Dispatch pulled out all the stops as well, initiating a strategy reminiscent of the old "throw spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks" game plan.
Refusing to limit itself to static online ads, the newspaper's strategy was all-encompassing and, at times, frenetic, according to Mair Downing, former online media director at Media General and production manager of the Times-Dispatch. "Basically, the strategy wasn't digital — it was everything," Downing said. Today, the Times-Dispatch employs multimedia advertising salespeople, capable of servicing clients on all platforms.
As newspapers vied for reader attention and advertiser loyalty, print advertising formats also received a makeover. "We've used them all," Downing said, "wrappers, spadeas, Post-Its (also known as stickies), bags, unique placements, custom designs, big Sunday pushes, special sections, and the like."
At the Daily Press, print ad formats have expanded to include a 21- x 21-inch double truck and lower-right front-page jewel box ads (4-inch square) in search of the right mix to capture advertising revenue.
Still striving to "provide the printed word at your doorstep" no matter the medium, Powers said she knows firsthand the challenges that beset information providers catering to increasingly finicky customers. Though the newspaper can no longer limit itself to being just "the newspaper," it must continue to hold fast to its pledge of delivering what its customers demand. According to Powers, the burning question that keeps her awake at night is, "How do we super-serve the customers that need us for news and information?"
Open new doors
With the rapidly changing advertising landscape, being nimble and highly diverse is essential in a cutthroat market where fighting tooth and nail for consumer dollars is the new norm. To meet demand, many newspapers have transitioned to multimedia news companies and adopted consultative sales strategies in an attempt to reverse the advertising slump. This is especially true for companies that still reap much of their advertising revenue from automobile, real estate, and employment verticals.
Cognizant of the fact that gaining an advertiser's trust can result in signed multi-month contracts, multimedia sales reps must be well versed in market demographics, the client's company profile and target audience(s), as well as thoroughly understand the organization's sales objectives. Acting as client partners, as opposed to merely points-of-contact, the reps collect necessary information and take complete inventory of their partners' needs before matching them with available media resources and creativity. They are then able to create an effective and engaging campaign that successfully reaches clients' objectives.

There will likely always be conversations about our "connected" time. How much screen time is too much? How much work time is too much? How much family time is ideal? In reality, the answers will vary for each individual and their situation. Some people, by nature of their job, need to be plugged into computers or screens constantly. Some people are simply workaholics. Some are easily addicted to social media, entertainment, or games. It's difficult to say exactly what the "ideal" time is for work, screens, family, and recreation. We should hesitate to prescribe it for others.
Disconnected Time
What we CAN do is introduce disconnected time. Your definition of disconnected time is personal to you, but essentially disconnected time is the intentional time we spend away from our regular routine. It might mean a social-media free weekend. It could be refusing to answer emails or complete work projects after 5 pm. Or maybe it means spending a few hours on a Saturday morning hiking by yourself without anyone else. Disconnected time is simply removing connections which, while important, can also drain your resources.
Disconnected time has multiple benefits. One of the primary benefits is recharging. Many of our "connections" require attention and energy from us, so disconnecting can prevent extra energy expenditure. And strong disconnected time can actually replenish drained energy.
Another benefit is perspective. By disconnecting you are able to take a different view of your life and situation. When you step away from work you can more accurately see your work. When you take time by yourself, you can see a perspective that isn't just what you're hearing from family and friends. When you turn off your phone you notice the sunset.
Disconnection also has the benefit of breaking loops and bad habits. Choosing to stop working at 5 pm can force you to drop a problem you were wrestling with, allowing a fresh start tomorrow. Stepping away from your computer on the weekends can keep you from reaching for a new tab to research every tiny detail of something. Declaring your weeknights as video-game-free time can help you prevent addiction or overuse.
Making the Most of Connected Time
Finally, the most important benefit of disconnected time is that it helps you appreciate and use your connected time more wisely. You don't waste time that is somewhat limited. You are appreciative of the time with family or friends. You have the pleasure of catching up on social media when you've come back to it after a break. You come back to connected time happier, healthier, more refreshed, and with greater perspective – which all leads to BETTER connected time.
Choose a way to disconnect this week – disconnect from something that requires much attention. Choose a period of time to disconnect, and enjoy the disconnection. Then return to "connection" to make the most of it, and reap the benefits.

Technical Section
Comprised of 14 staff members, the technical division fulfills the instrumentation requirements for astronomical research.
With the implementation of the technology building Schwarzschildhaus (Left) in March of 2000, the AIP gained the capability to contribute to the development of earth-based telescopes, focal instruments and space observatories.
In 2010, an additional technology building, Leibnizhaus (Below), was added to the institute, housing an optics lab, mainframe computer, integration hall and a cooling chamber capable of reaching -80°C.
PMAS was the first instrument to be developed entirely at the AIP and is now the most used instrument on the 3.5 m telescope in Calar Alto, Spain. The AIP has also completed and put into service the solar telescope GREGOR and the AGW units for the Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona. Furthermore, equipment from the AIP has been delivered to its partners for the projects MUSE and eRosita.
Current projects include the Potsdam Echelle Polarimetric and Spectroscopic Instruments for the LBT (PEPSI), VIRUS, ARGOS, STIX and 4MOST. In addition to these are the 1.2 m Telescopes STELLA-I and STELLA-II.
The Schwarzschildhaus offers the following:
Modern CAD workstations for the development of optical systems, circuit design of the electronic sector and mechanical construction allow for high efficiency among a small staff.
The fine mechanics workshop, which is comprised of 4 staff members and coordinates its own apprenticeship program, possesses highly advanced lathe and milling machinery (5-axis milling).
In addition to the maintenance of the instruments currently in operation, the technical division is tasked with the upkeep of historical instruments (the Great Refractor Potsdam, Telegrafenberg).

Mystery of the Missing Breast Cancer Genes
8-May-2012 9:00 AM EDT
Available for logged-in reporters only
Proceedings of the Royal Society B
KEYWORDSCancer, Breast Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, BRCA12 Gene, Mutation, Genetics, Genetic Mutation, Women, Evolution, Grandmothers
Newswise — Researchers from the University of Adelaide are hoping to better understand why the mutated genes for breast and ovarian cancer are not passed on more frequently from one generation of women to the next.
That's despite a documented link between breast cancer genes and increased fertility in women.
Dr Jack da Silva from the University's School of Molecular & Biomedical Science says that because women who carry breast cancer genes are more fertile, in theory they have a greater chance of passing these genes on to future generations.
"A recent study in the United States found that mutations in the breast cancer genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 were directly linked with a 50% increase in the fertility of women, which is a huge number," Dr da Silva says.
"With such an increased fertility rate, you would expect to see a high frequency of these cancer-causing genes in modern populations, but in fact that is not the case - the frequencies are relatively low."
In a paper being published today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, he argues that the so-called "grandmother effect" may in part be the reason behind this phenomenon.
"In an earlier study, researchers found that post-menopausal women create a 'grandmother effect' - that is, the longer they live, the more they are able to support their daughters and their grandchildren, thereby creating an environment in which more grandchildren are born.
"The reverse of this is that women who die earlier - such as from breast or ovarian cancer, which are usually post-menopausal - will no longer be able to support their daughters and grandchildren. This has the effect of limiting the number of grandchildren born, and therefore the chances of passing on the mutated genes from one generation to the next is also limited," Dr da Silva says.
However, the "grandmother effect" does not entirely negate the increased fertility caused by breast cancer genes, he says.
"Our change to today's industrial and technological age has been relatively rapid in human history. For most of our existence, we have been hunter-gatherers. During this time, female fertility was limited, and this may have reduced the increase in fertility caused by mutations of these genes."
Dr da Silva says further studies examining modern-day hunter-gatherer societies might shed more light on how and why the spread of these genetic mutations occurs across generations.

Sometimes I would have issues staying hard in certain positions. Enter the cock-ring. Not only does it make me stay hard for longer, my wife LOVES the look of it.
It also delays orgasm a bit which is nice.
Who knew a bit of rubber could make such a difference?

- "What kind of man are you?"
- ―GTA IV Website
The Men's Room is a show in Grand Theft Auto IV.
It is a talk show with two hosts that takes place in a set made to look like a men's restroom or locker room. The topics of the show include health, relationship advice, and understanding your anger. Unfortunately, though, because of Bas's intense attitude, most of the topics turn into a story about Bas's bloody experiences.
- Bas Rutten: Former UFC champion Sebastiaan "Bas" Rutten portrays a parody of himself as the muscular, over-aggressive, bald host. Rutten also did motion capture for main character Niko Bellic's fighting moves.
- Jeremy St. Ives: Jeremy is the effeminate host with dyed blond hair, and often gives sensible or normal advice. He is usually cut off or disrespected by Bas. He is seen as a complete juxtaposition to Bas.
- It should be noted that as the shows progress in number, Bas and Jeremy seem to like each other more, Jeremy even loses some of his usual flamboyant traits, seemingly becoming more tough like Bas.
- In GTA IV, Bas wears a green tank top. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, he wears an orange shirt with a white jacket.
- Although it is highly unlikely, the show may be a spoof of a skit on The Amanda Show called The Girls' Room.
- Bas Rutten's overly violent nature and exaggerated acts portrayed in the show is a direct parody of his self-defense DVD called Bas Rutten's Lethal Street Fighting Self Defense System.
- The design on Jeremy's shirt is a logo of Derriere.
- In the Grand Theft Auto V side mission Paparazzo - The Partnership, Beverly asks Franklin if Trevor was in The Men's Room, hinting that Trevor may have appeared on the show before, or it could have been a mistake on Beverly's part as Franklin's response to this is "nah-nah".
- The Men's Room is actually a radio show currently broadcast on 99.9 KISW in Seattle from 2 PM to 6 PM every weekday. Some of their famous segments are "Bad Choice Friday", "Big Dummy", "Bad Joke Friday", "Shot of the Day", and "No S#%& Sherlock!".

The first female-fronted hard rock band, Heart proved women can rock with the best of them.
Heart's mix of hard rock and folk yielded one of the longest lasting and most commercially successful bands of all time.
With a mix of hard rock riffs and lush, driving harmonies, Heart emerged from the Pacific Northwest with one of the most original sounds of the 1970s.
Behind Ann Wilson's powerhouse voice—one of the best in rock—and Nancy Wilson's percussive guitar playing, along with guitarist Roger Fisher, bassist Steve Fossen, guitarist/keyboard player Howard Leese and drummer Michael DeRosier, Heart recorded a series of albums that stand as the best mix of hard rock and folk rock of their era: Dreamboat Annie (1975), Little Queen (1977), Dog And Butterfly (1978) and Bebe Le Strange (1980). All those records included hit singles that remain standards of rock radio: "Magic Man," "Crazy on You," "Heartless" and "Barracuda."
Over their long career, Heart has released six Top 10 albums and twenty Top 40 singles. The first women to front a hard rock band, Ann and Nancy Wilson were pioneers, claiming the stage in a way that inspired women to pick up an electric guitar or start a band.
Ann Wilson was born on June 19, 1950, in San Diego. Her sister, Nancy, was born on March 16, 1954, in San Francisco. Their father was a captain in the Marine Corps, and the Wilson sisters grew up in Southern California and Taiwan before he retired to the Seattle suburbs. While in high school, Ann played guitar and flute and sang in various groups. After her high school graduation, Nancy attended college. She played some solo gigs while in school, then quit college to focus more on her music.
In 1970, Ann joined a band called Heart. The group had actually been formed back in 1963 by bassist Steve Fossen and guitarists Roger and Mike Fisher. Its original name was the Army. It then changed to White Heart, then Hocus Pocus. The band members finally settled on the name Heart. Ann became the group's lead vocalist. In 1974, Nancy joined the band as lead guitarist. Around the same time, Mike Fisher left the band to focus on more behind-the-scenes activities.
The group relocated to Vancouver, where it recorded a demo with producer Mike Flicker and session guitarist and keyboard player Howard Leese, who would become a full-time member of the band. In 1975, the group attracted the attention of Mushroom Records. The following year, Heart recorded its first album, Dreamboat Annie, for the label. It quickly sold some 30,000 copies in Canada, so the label released it in Seattle, where it sold another 25,000 copies. Eventually, the album would yield two hit singles—"Crazy on You" and "Magic Man"—and make it to Number Seven on the Billboard chart, selling more than one million copies. By this point, Michael DeRosier had joined the band as its drummer.
In 1977, Heart switched labels, moving from Mushroom to the CBS subsidiary Portrait Records. The move resulted in a lengthy legal battle with Mushroom. That label issued the only partially completed album Magazine in early 1977 just before Portrait released Little Queen. A Seattle court ruled in Heart's favor, saying that Mushroom had to recall Magazine so that the band could remix several tracks and re-do some of the vocals.
Little Queen, featuring the hit single "Barracuda," became the group's second million-seller, and the Wilson sisters were featured on the cover of the July 28, 1977 issue of Rolling Stone. The remixed Magazine followed suit the next year, as did Dog and Butterfly. The latter album included two hit singles: the title song and "Straight On." Meanwhile, the band's lineup changed as Roger Fisher left the group.
In 1980, Heart released Bebe le Strange. It made it to Number Five and yielded the Top 40 hit "Even It Up." Another track, a cover of the ballad "Tell It Like It Is," reached Number Eight on the charts.
The band's next two albums, Private Audition (1982) and Passionworks (1983), both failed to go gold, prompting Heart to change labels and sign with Capitol Records. The group's first album for the label, simply titled Heart (1985), went to Number One, sold more than five million copies and yielded four Top 10 singles: "What About Love?", "Never," "These Dreams" and "Nothin' At All." Bad Animals, released in 1987, included four more hit singles, including "Alone," which went to Number One. Brigade (1990) continued the band's run, with three more hit singles, including "All I Want to Do Is Make Love to You." That album was also Heart's highest-charting album in the U.K., where it reached Number Three.
After a 1990 tour in support of Brigade, the Wilson sisters formed an informal acoustic group called the Lovemongers. That group released a four-song EP that included a cover of Led Zeppelin's "The Battle of Evermore." Heart returned in 1993 with the album Desire Walks On. Two years later, Heart issued The Road Home, which included live, acoustic versions of some of the band's best-known songs. It was produced by John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin.
In the last fifteen years, Heart has released two of the strongest albums of its career: Jupiter's Darling (2004) and Red Velvet Car. The latter album, issued in 2010, featured a return to the melodic hard rock and folk sound of early Heart albums. The album became the group's first Top 10 album in twenty years.
Overall, Heart has sold more than 30 million records. The group has had twenty Top 40 singles, seven Top 10 albums and four Grammy nominations. In 2012, Heart received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

When it comes to phone cameras, the Lumia 920's PureView is proving to be pretty awesome at low-light shots, but how good is that Optical Image Stabilization? A couple of Russians with a 920, a Galaxy S III, and an RC car ran a little experiment to find out. Turns out it's nothing to sneeze at.
While the S III's footage turned out uncomfortably jittery, the 920's fares much better, despite still having a bit of jank. And that's just on top of an RC car with pretty rapid, violently jerky movements; in most real-life situations, you'd have to image the camera wouldn't be vibrating quite that wildly. It just goes to show that, aside from previous fakery, the 920's camera is definitely a force to be reckoned with. [Neowin via The Verge]

Bradley Manning's lawyers: He's been punished enough
FORT MEADE, Md. Supporters of an Army private charged in the biggest security breach in U.S. history packed a military courtroom on Tuesday as his attorneys made the case he'd already been punished enough when he was locked up alone in a small cell for nine months and forced to sleep naked for several nights.
As the pretrial hearing for Pfc. Bradley Manning began at Fort Meade near Baltimore, about two dozen Manning backers who'd held up signs of support outside the post went inside to watch the proceedings, many wearing black t-shirts with the word "Truth" in white lettering. The Army private is charged with spilling U.S. secrets to the website WikiLeaks.
The U.S. government claims the disclosures endangered lives and security. Manning supporters say the leaks exposed war crimes and triggered pro-democracy uprisings in the Middle East.
Military commanders involved in the confinement of Manning were questioned first at the proceedings, which are expected to last several days. Manning may be asked to testify.
Manning's lawyers contend he was illegally punished by being locked up alone in a small cell for nearly nine months at the Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Va., where he had to sleep naked for several nights.
Daniel Choike, a retired Marine Corps colonel, was one of the first to testify. He denied that Lt. Gen. George Flynn, a three-star general and commander of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command at Quantico at the time, had anything to do with the decisions into Manning's confinement.
Judges can dismiss all charges if pretrial punishment is particularly egregious, but that rarely happens. The usual remedy is credit at sentencing for time served, said Lisa M. Windsor, a retired Army colonel and former Army judge advocate now in private practice in Washington.
In a 1956 case, U.S. v. Bayhand, a military appeals court ordered all charges dismissed against a soldier who had been forced during his pretrial confinement to do hard labor alongside a sentenced prisoner. The court ruled that the soldier had been given an illegal order.
Since then, there have been few, if any, cases in which pretrial punishment has led to dismissal of all charges. Lt. Col. Eric Carpenter, chairman of the criminal law department at the judge advocates school in Charlottesville, Va., said he couldn't find one but he couldn't say for sure that the remedy hasn't been granted.
Manning has also offered to take responsibility for the leak by pleading guilty to reduced charges. The military judge hasn't yet ruled on the offer and prosecutors have not said whether they would still pursue the charges against him.
He was kept at the Marine Corps brig from July 2010 to April 2011. The military contends the treatment at Quantico was proper, given Manning's classification as a maximum-security detainee who posed a risk of injury to himself or others. He was later moved to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where he was re-evaluated and given a medium-security classification.
A United Nations investigator called the conditions of Manning's time at Quantico cruel, inhuman and degrading, but stopped short of calling it torture.
The 24-year-old native of Crescent, Okla., faces possible life imprisonment if convicted of aiding the enemy, the most serious of the 22 charges.
He is accused of sending hundreds of thousands of classified Iraq and Afghanistan war logs and more than 250,000 diplomatic cables to the secret-spilling website WikiLeaks while he was working as an intelligence analyst in Baghdad in 2009 and 2010.
The materials Manning is suspected of leaking include sensitive reports on foreign governments and leaders, Iraq and Afghanistan war logs and a 2007 video clip of a U.S. helicopter crew gunning down 11 men later found to have included a Reuters news photographer and his driver. It was the video that garnered the most worldwide attention from the leak. As for the video clip, the Pentagon concluded the troops acted appropriately, having mistaken the camera equipment for weapons.

6 Charming Long Hair Styles With Side Bangs
Sponsored Link:
6 Charming Long Hair Styles With Side Bangs It isn't really sufficient if you upgrade your footwears and clothes to remain in song with the changing style trends. You also need to keep up with the latest hair trends to be kept in mind as a style symbol. With the accessibility of numerous hair designing items, such as styling sprays, gels, puddings, and foams, styling your hairs the way you want disappears difficult.
Designing Spray: Designing sprays are the perfect solution to maintain your hairdo in position for a really long time. Although these sprays help in holding your hairs entire day long, they do not make your hair crunchy to the extent that it could not be relocated. The quantity of minerals in the hair origins is increased by these sprays, thus making your hair stiff. There are also shine sprays that can be used to add a glossy shine to your hairs. A few of these hair sprays also create an impression of voluminous hair.
Designing Gel: Of all the designing items available, hair gels are one of the most widely used right grip they provide. Whether you have curly hair or relaxed hair, these gels function perfectly in holding your hairdo. Some styling gels also come with moisturizing agents to condition your hair. An added plus of these styling gels is that they tend to hold your hairdo for a long time even if there weighes wind. Besides styling gels, you could also find hair gels for loss of hair, which will certainly prove effective in placing an end to decreasing hair.

The diagram below shows the creation of the EAD in Archivists Toolkit (AT) during processing. The archivists consider the copy in Archivists Toolkit to be the copy of record; however, we have found that reloading EADs containing links to component items modifies the links, and reexporting modifies them further. So we have altered our workflow. While the EAD in AT is the copy of record for analog material, the delivery EAD (containing the links to digitized content) will be stored separately. Every time EADs are modified by the archivists, they must go through the item-level linking process again.
1) EADs are exported by archivists from Archivists Toolkit and placed in the "new" or "remediated" folders in the share drive S:\Special Collections\Digital_Program_files\EAD directory.
2) Every Friday night, a script called "getEADs" ( in /srv/scripts/storing/EADs_auto/):
- tests these EADs for correct naming (and repairs them if possible),
- picks up these EADs,
- makes a datestamped directory in the "uploaded" directory there on the share drive (for example, "uploaded_new_20100803"),
- copys the EADs to the corresponding "uploaded" directory (so the archivists will know what was picked up when), and
- puts a copy into /srv/deposits/fromSC/.
- Also, many EADs come to us with embedded Word or PDF encodings, and some contain ampersands. These need to be corrected before they go online. So getEADs then runs through these new EADs to replace these values, and
- puts the new version into /srv/deposits/EADs/unlinkedASCII/
- and into the notInDbase" directory on libcontent (under /srv/deposits/EADs/) to be used for linking.
3) When content is digitized, the EAD may already be online. So the most recent makeJpegs upload scripts pull a copy of the corresponding EAD (if it exists) and places it in the /srv/script/eads/LINKME/ directory.
4) EadModsTester (in /srv/scripts/eads/):
- checks in the /srv/scripts/eads/LINKME/ directory for EADs corresponding to newly uploaded digitized content. If found, and there's not a new version of it waiting to be linked, it adds this to those in /srv/deposits/EADs/notInDbase/.
- Then it parses the EAD to locate box and folder numbers and itemIDs (all with corresponding ref values), and hunts through the web directories for MODS with item identifiers that correspond to the itemIDs, or for MODS within this collection (pulling box and folder values).
- This script then outputs a tab-delimited text file for each collection into which it can identify linkable content, into /srv/scripts/eads/linkrefs/ ; this file specifies the reference identifier in the EAD, the existing EAD box_folder value, the normalized EAD box_folder, the existing MODS box_folder value, the normalized MODS box_folder, and the MODS identifier if a match exists for an itemID value.
- This script also outputs a few other files, such as problems found in EADs (see /srv/scripts/eads/output/).
More discussion of the linking from EADs can be found in Linking_out_from_EADS.
4) "linkInContent" (in /srv/scripts/eads/):
- uses the linkrefs files created by eadModsTester, and
- while referencing the EADs in /srv/deposits/EADs/notInDbase/, it pulls from /srv/deposits/EADs/unlinkedASCII/.
- If MODS box/folder values are indicated, this script goes through the Acumen directories to locate the corresponding items (otherwise, utilizes the item identifier if in the last column).
- It creates PURL links for each of these,
- parsing through the EAD to add them in the correct location, including adding boxes and folders if necessary.
- The linked version is placed in /srv/scripts/eads/LINKED/ ;
- if this process is successful, it is then written back to /srv/deposits/EADs/notInDbase, overwriting the deposited version.
- If no links are added, the version in the unlinkedASCII folder is written to the notInDbase folder, again overwriting the deposited version.
5) "EadsToDbase" (in /srv/scripts/eads/):
- pulls from /srv/deposits/EADs/notInDbase/,
- updates the InfoTrack.allColls database table (including replacing changed title and abstract) -- (the values in the database appear in the online collection list (collection list)),
- puts the EADs live online in Acumen, and
- moves the copy from notInDbase to /srv/deposits/EADs/new/ for archiving
6) "LostLinks4" (in /srv/scripts/eads/):
- collects all the links in the newly linked EADs in /srv/deposits/EADs/new/ and the most recent version of the corresponding EADs in the archive.
- if any links have been lost, this script creates a directory (named for the current date) in /srv/deposits/EADs/olderVersions/ and copies the current archived EAD there for reference, to give us time to compare the files and correct any errors before overwriting.
- It then compiles a report of the changes, including the item number, box, folder, and reference id in the older EAD where the particular link existed.
- Collected information for each EAD that has this problem is then emailed to the head of digital services for review and investigation.
7) "cleanUpLinkingOutput" (in /srv/scripts/eads/):
- checks for linkrefs files in the /srv/scripts/eads/linkrefs/older directory, which now have a problems file, but not a linkrefs file -- if found, adds this to the error report, as this indicates a failure to link content into a finding aid that previously had links
- moves linkrefs files and output files to "older" subdirectories in their respective areas
- compares these to the previous versions there;
- if the problems file is smaller than previous ones, the previous ones are deleted; if not, an error is generated.
- same goes for the linkrefs file
- If the new EAD has fewer links than the old one (stored in /srv/scripts/eads/backups/), a summary of the difference in the number of links is added to the error report
- The problem output files are copied to the archivist feedback area (/cifs-mount2/Feedback/ or S:\Special Collections\Digital_Program_files\EAD\Feedback ) into summary and byEAD directories (according to what it is) in datestamped directories.
- and it will delete older problem files in the Feedback area, for that particular collection.
The archiving of EADs has now been integrated into the general archiving processes. See For Archiving.

It seems clear to most who have read the Bible that it portrays Christians as a minority among a wicked world empire that desires nothing less than the extinction of Christ in his church. Jesus said narrow is the road that leads to life and 'few' find it. (Math 7:13) Jesus warned his disciples about the world hating them (John 15:18). Also, even within the church Christians are said to be persecuted by the legalists who are absorbed with the outward form of religion (Gal 4:28) while denying its internal power. (2 Tim 3:5)
Considering this extreme level of conflict that the poor believer finds himself facing (at least according to the biblical proposal) how can he/she avoid spinning 'conspiracy theories' and falling into 'they are out to get me' mentality? Is there any doctrine about sanctification within an Protestant framework that would enable a Christian to eliminate paranoia in a hostile world?
Five mainstream protestant theories of sanctification are conveniently found here (Wesleyan, Reformed, Pentecostal, Keswick, Augustinian-Dispensational). Please state the view that the post, is more or less, ascribing to and show how this view of sanctification would be applied to enable a Christian to manage paranoia in terms of a specific crisis and long term control.
