TV Q&A: Do 'Blue Bloods' pray anymore?February 1, 2014 10:05 PM
Post-Gazette TV writer Rob Owen answers reader questions online every Friday in Tuned In Journal blog at post-gazette.com/tv. Here's a selection of recent queries.
Q: Why don't they show them praying on the new episodes of "Blue Bloods"?
Rob: I tried for several weeks to get an answer to this question, but the "Blue Bloods" producers have not responded to Rita's query. My guess is it was a matter of time and the writers wanted to devote that time to storytelling rather than the characters saying grace.
Q: I enjoy watching Syfy's "Face Off." When are the contestant interviews filmed -- after or during each episode or the entire season at once?
Rob: According to the show's publicist, contestant interviews are shot throughout the season during each episode. Gotta do it when the drama is fresh in the contestants' minds.
Q: Has "Lucky 7" been canceled or is it on a different channel?
Rob: It was the first show of the 2013-14 TV season to be canceled. It won't air again.
Q: My question is about British programming. There are so many British shows I would like to see, but very few make it to the United States. Occasionally BBC America shows something of interest, and the odd show turns up on PBS. Sometimes you can track something down on YouTube. I watch "EastEnders" via Dish. (I don't have Dish myself, but someone tapes it for me.) I just don't understand why they make it so hard! It seems like much of U.S. programming is shown over there. I do understand [Brits] pay some sort of TV tax, and wonder if that has something to do with it. I'd be willing to pay for a premium British channel. I'd just really like to be able to turn on my TV and see some of their programming.
Also I wonder why it's not possible to view programming on their websites. It's so frustrating to see clips and shows on the BBC or ITV websites and know if I try to watch them it will tell me they are unavailable.
Is it just too expensive to make it available in the United States, or do they think there is no interest?
Rob: It's probably a combination of issues, including expense and demand, but I think the biggest issue is probably one of perceived demand. If networks thought viewers would watch and if the price was right, they'd import more British shows.
And the reality is Americans have access to more British programming now than ever. Not only is PBS importing shows for "Masterpiece," it's also importing British dramas outside of "Masterpiece" ("Last Tango in Halifax" and "Call the Midwife"). Acorn.TV (https://signup.acorn.tv/) bills itself as a home for online streaming of British shows. And last fall DirecTV's Audience Network added British dramas "Black Mirror" and "Secret State" to its lineup.
Q: I was watching "The Good Wife," and the couple Alicia was in court against had the last name Eisenstat. That is my last name and in all my years of watching TV, it is the first character that has used my name. I would like to know how I can find how they went about deciding on the name, since it's not exactly a common name.
Rob: Writers often use names of friends but then have to get names vetted through legal clearances (if a show is set in Pittsburgh, someone checks the phone book/other sources to make sure there's no one in Pittsburgh with the same name as a show's villain to make sure the script isn't potentially defamatory).
Thanks to "Good Wife" executive producer Robert King for offering a thoughtful explanation. It's not something all producers are willing to take the time to do (see previous question):
"Dear Mr. Eisenstat,
"I am a collector of unique names. I hate how TV names end up being of the Bob Smith variety. These are the names the legal departments usually find easiest to clear. But unique names are not only fun to say, they often make it easier to distinguish between characters referred to in the third person. Paddy Chayefsky is wonderful at doing this. I usually find names online: in newspaper bylines, in the New Yorker front section, in movie credits. Sometimes you look for names that express a feeling, but often you just try to avoid having names sound too much alike. Not much more to say than that.
"Congratulations, Mr. Eisenstat, for having such a great name.
"Robert (bland name) King"
Q: With your new format, where are the "Movie Highlights"? "Paint Your Wagon" starring Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood and Jean Seberg from 1969 hasn't been aired for a while. Where can I submit a request to TCM, etc.?
Rob: You can always contact TCM directly. The address and phone number are carried in TV Week on Sunday and online at post-gazette.com.tv.
As for changes to TV Week, those are out of my control. Here's what Virginia Linn, Post-Gazette assistant managing editor/enterprise and features, explained: "As part of a downsizing, the Post-Gazette has reduced TV Week by four pages. Because of the proliferation of channels over the last several years, the two pages of movie highlights included descriptions of only a small portion of the actual movies presented each week. We felt it was most important to preserve the 13 pages of TV channel listings so those have not been trimmed. We post TV listings online at http://www.post-gazette.com/ae/tv-radio that include descriptions of all movies shown each week."

It might have been the signature win of the 2011 football season for the Northeast Tigers – a 34-28 victory over the Northwest Rangers.
What a difference a year makes.
Last season, the Tigers were a sophomore-dominated group. But in 2012, Northeast plays more than its fare-share of freshman, who will take the field today at 7 p.m. against the sophomore-dominated Rangers, who are ranked No. 6 in the latest NJCCA polls.
"Last year, they played a bunch of young kids, and we took advantage of it," Northeast head coach Ricky Smither said. "Now our kids have three games under their belt.
"Athlete versus athlete, I think we match up with them. But we have to get a little momentum going in our favor."
Northeast (1-2, 0-1) needs some positive momentum, coming off a 34-14 loss last week to Holmes.
"Things really got black for us in the first half," Smither said. "But the kids didn't quit.
"I'm proud of the way the kids played in the second half. When this group figures it out, they will be a dangerous squad."
For Northeast last week, Smither liked the way the defensive front played, including freshman Daniel Ross and sophomore Lavon Hooks, especially in the second half.
But in the competitive North Division, a game deficit is bad, and Northeast is trying to make up that deficit against Northwest.
"Lose another, and we're playing behind the 8-ball," Smither said. "We practiced with a sense of urgency this week.
"We have to give our best effort, and it wouldn't matter who we were playing."
The Rangers (2-0, 1-0) could be considered a game down to the rest of the state, having its first contest of the season canceled because of a hurricane. But the Rangers have rolled since with wins over Copiah-Lincoln and Coahoma.
"Last week, the team was pretty efficient with what we were trying to do," Northwest defensive coordinator Andy Greening said. "We've talked about last year, but not that much, really.
"But we should be focused for the game."
Northwest features an experienced offensive line, which sophomore QB Domonique Harris from Southaven has used to his advantage. Against Coahoma last week, the 6-foot-5 QB threw for 323 yards.
"They have a big quarterback," Smither said. "Offensively, we need to maintain some drives, and keep their defense on the field."

Police: Thieves steal wallet from transplant patient's wife
Police release surveillance photos
MADISON, Wis. - Madison police said thieves stole a wallet from a woman's cart at a Goodwill store and used the victim's cards to make purchases.
Police said the victim is a 69-year-old Oklahoma woman who was quickly flown to Madison with her husband, a Vietnam veteran who was to receive an organ transplant at a local hospital.
Based on the hurried nature in which they left Oklahoma, they were not allowed ample time to pack personal necessities, which led to the woman shopping at Goodwill after arriving in Madison.
While shopping at the Goodwill at 4530 Verona Road, a thief removed her wallet from a cart that she was using. After she realized it was missing, she received a call from her credit card company that questionable transactions were attempted at the Target Store in Fitchburg within the hour, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.
Police said a second victim, a 25-year-old Madison woman, was also identified. The victim's cards were used to purchase more than $6,000 in gift cards and other merchandise, according to the report.
The Madison Police Department has released surveillance photos of the suspected thieves from the Target store in Fitchburg and is asking for the public's help in identifying the people in the photos.
Police described the suspected thieves as a black man, about 25-35 years old who was wearing a blue coat with a fur collar, blue pants and a brown skull cap. The other thief is described as a woman wearing a double-breasted coat and hat.
Any information leading to an arrest could result in a cash reward, and callers can remain anonymous by contacting Crime Stoppers at 608-266-6014.

It's been a very good day for Turkey, which pulled something of a trifecta. It began with a rate cut, ended with a credit-rating upgrade and had a meeting with President Barack Obama sandwiched in between.
First up: The rate cut. According to the Wall Street Journal, Turkey's central bank:
…cut all interest rates by 0.5 percentage point, reducing its policy rate to 4.5% and narrowing the central bank's so-called interest-rate corridor, which varies daily rates, to a range of 3.5% to 6.5%, according to a statement on the bank's website.
Later in the day, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a press conference with Obama, where they called on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down. Again from the Journal:
On Syria, Mr. Obama said he was looking forward to an international conference in coming weeks, involving the Syrian regime and its allies in Moscow along with the U.S. and other world powers, to help pave the way for a transition.
"There's no magic formula for dealing with a[n] extraordinarily violent and difficult situation like Syria's," Mr. Obama said. "If there was, I think the prime minister and I would have already acted on it and it would already be finished."
Turkey, which has suffered the spillover of violence from Syria, hopes that the major powers can help end the conflict. "Russia and China being part of this process is very important," said Mr. Erdogan, also citing the involvement of the United Nations Security Council. "Their participation in this process will certainly create the impetus."
The day ended with Moody's Investors Service raising Turkey's credit rating to Baa3.
The first driver underlying Moody's decision to upgrade Turkey's sovereign rating to Baa3 is the improvement in the country's economic and fiscal metrics. Since the beginning of 2009, Turkey's debt burden has fallen by 10 percentage points to a manageable 36% of GDP, and Moody's expects this decline to continue in the coming years…
The second driver of today's rating action is the progress that the government has made on a wide-ranging institutional reform programme that Moody's believes will gradually erode the country's external vulnerabilities over a longer time horizon.
It would have been a perfect day except for one thing: Turkey's stocks market fell. The Istanbul Stock Exchange National 100 Indexfell 0.2%, while the iShares MSCI Turkey Investable Market Index ETF (TUR) has dropped 0.5% to $76.82 today with about four minutes left in trading. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) has dropped 0.4% to $43.23.

Binghamton University video "Discover Binghamton- The Premier Public University" debuts online
BINGHAMTON, NY -- "Discover Binghamton – The Premier Public University," a video highlighting academics, research, sustainability and student life at Binghamton University is now available online. The video, shown recently to a small audience and praised by the new State University of New York Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher, can be viewed by visiting http://youtube.com/BinghamtonUniversity.
The video showcases Binghamton's achievements as a world-class institution that combines a broadly interdisciplinary, international education with one of the most vibrant research programs in the nation. "This video enabled us with the ability to tell Binghamton's story in a very compelling and visual way while capturing the spirit of achievement at Binghamton," said Interim University Associate VP for Communications and Marketing Greg Delviscio. "We were also fortunate to find students, faculty and staff who were able to assist with the production from start to finish."
An online video title competition was launched where participants could submit and vote for title ideas. "During filming, the campus community seemed intrigued as well as curious to see the final outcome so we decided to make them part of the process by giving them a say in what the video title should be," said Ryan Yarosh, Assistant Director of Media Relations and Video Project Director. The video, which was filmed and edited over the course of several weeks, includes aerial footage of campus as well as interviews with students, faculty and staff.

US Airways to close Moon flight operations center, affecting 600 jobsJanuary 24, 2014 10:51 PM
Built less than six years ago, a state-of-the-art flight operations control center in Moon will be closing and the work transferred to Texas, a casualty in the American Airlines-US Airways merger.
American Airlines announced Friday that it intends to consolidate flight operations in Dallas-Fort Worth over the next 18 months, costing the region a facility built specifically for the needs of US Airways and the 600 jobs that go with it.
"It's pretty sad for the people that have been here for a long time," said Danny Persuit, president of Transport Workers Union Local 545, which represents 164 employees at the center.
In a separate action, American also plans to transfer 53 mechanics out of Pittsburgh in what it said was an annual maintenance "rebalancing" unrelated to the merger.
American said that flight operations employees who want to transfer to Dallas will be guaranteed jobs. Those who do not will be offered severance packages, airline spokesman Todd Lehmacher said.
In a letter delivered to employees Friday, Tim Campbell, American's senior vice president of air operations, said he expects to complete the transfer within 18 months. Some support employees may relocate before the end of the year, but the majority will move after that. American has its own operations control center in Dallas-Fort Worth.
"Consolidating our two operations centers into one team, adjacent to our primary flight training center and our corporate headquarters, is the right decision for our business and our customers and a necessary step in our mission to make the new American the world's best airline," Mr. Campbell wrote.
"I don't think there was anything wrong with Pittsburgh. It was just the right decision for our business and our customers in the new American [to consolidate in Texas]," Mr. Lehmacher added.
Friday's announcement came nearly a year after US Airways CEO Doug Parker, who assumed the same role with American, hinted that the center might close as a result of the merger. It also came despite intensive lobbying by Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald and members of the local congressional delegation.
The 72,000-square-foot building opened in November 2008 after Pennsylvania and Allegheny County officials outbid Charlotte, N.C., and Phoenix for the facility. It combined a center in Findlay that US Airways had operated for 11 years and a smaller one in Phoenix, the result of the carrier's 2005 merger with America West Airlines. It was built with the help of $3.75 million in state grants and tax credits.
After US Airways' 20-year lease ends, the Airport Authority will assume control of the building. What will happen to the lease is yet to be determined.
Mr. Fitzgerald said the announcement wasn't a surprise, given Mr. Parker's past statements, but that did little to lessen the sting.
"It's not good news, that's for sure," he said. "It wasn't anything totally unexpected. We've been doing everything we can to keep it. When the merger went through, the writing was on the wall."
Once American is gone, the county intends to try to market the building for another use, Mr. Fitzgerald said. He expects interest from companies moving into the region.
U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Forest Hills, said the political leaders argued that the Pittsburgh center had an excellent reputation and could be expanded and that it made sense for American to make use of it. But in the end such arguments had little effect.
"I don't think it's the right move for them, but they've made their decision. We're very disappointed, but I don't think anyone was surprised," he said.
Gov. Tom Corbett pledged to help with the marketing of the facility and job retraining for employees who don't want to move.
The decision marks the latest blow to a region that has seen US Airways slash more than 10,000 jobs and hundreds of flights over the last decade. In 2004, it eliminated its hub at the airport's midfield terminal -- a $1 billion facility built in the early 1990s specifically to meet US Airways' growing needs. American now has about 1,800 employees in the region, but that will fall to 1,200 with the loss of the flight center jobs.
Mr. Persuit said he expects a "large portion" of the employees he represents to relocate. But he added they are still waiting for details about the type of moving package the airline will offer. The union also is waiting for details about a severance package.
Although many will relocate, employees as a whole preferred to remain in Pittsburgh, he said. Referring to American's desire to have the center near its headquarters, he noted that the operations control facility has worked in Pittsburgh even though the airline's headquarters has been near Washington, D.C., and in Phoenix in the past.
"I wouldn't necessarily agree that it had to come to this," he said.
Bill Hollowood, chairman of Potomac Air Lodge 1976 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which represents about 110 workers at the center, said the mood among his members is "guarded."
"It's definitely a major event. Pittsburgh, Robinson Township lose some skilled high-paying jobs and that's a shame. I understand business first, but the human side of it is not good," he said.
Mr. Lehmacher said the number of mechanics in Pittsburgh has been "elevated" the last few years because of heavy maintenance work but that such maintenance is now nearing the end of its cycle.
But Mr. Hollowood attributed the transfers to the numerous flight cutbacks in Pittsburgh over the last decade. He said American could have accommodated the current employees by bringing other types of maintenance work into Pittsburgh.
As for the operations center, Bernadette Puzzuole, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Airport Area Chamber of Commerce, expressed hope that "other airlines are going to be looking to this building. It's a state-of-the-art facility."
The loss of the center "can have a devastating effect on the area," she said, noting employees "shop in our stores and have kids in our schools and eat in our restaurants."
The housing market could take a hit, too, she said, if employees move to Dallas.
Laura Schisler, a member of the Moon Area school board, said Chevron's proposed regional headquarters at the former Kmart Super Center site in Moon is the kind of development that could help offset the loss. The school district also includes Crescent.
"We have a lot of good things happening here. ... Hopefully, we're not an airline-dependent township anymore," she said.
Ms. Puzzuole said the announcement is "another example of how we've been taken advantage of by US Airways."
After US Airways abandoned Pittsburgh as a hub, the region gave tax breaks for the operations center, and the airline is taking that away, too, she said.
"I'm not shocked about it," she said. "I'm sorry."
Ms. Schisler said she hopes the economic impact will be blunted partly by the options available to airline employees. While some employees may take jobs in Dallas, she said, others may retire or choose to commute to their new jobs from Pittsburgh.
"That happens a lot," she said.
The economic impact potentially will be felt not only in Moon but in other districts and municipalities, including Findlay, that are home to operations center employees.
Finday supervisors chairman Thomas Gallant, a US Airways flight attendant who has worked for the airline for 30 years, said loss of the operations center is "just another nail in the coffin of a world-class, first-class airport that's just been reduced to a ghost town."
In days when it was a hub, he said, the airport was so crowded that passengers "could not even move during the big traffic time."
Loss of the employees is troublesome, he said, because many are deeply involved in their communities. "We're going to lose that talent," he said.

Has pale collar and pale reddish orange cheeks and throat; forehead is reddish orange (more extensive than in southwestern Cliffs). Rump is reddish buff and square-ended tail is dark. Underparts are mostly pale with darker spots on undertail coverts. JUVENILE Duller and less colorful than adult, with pale buff forehead and pale buff nape, throat and breast grading to whitish underparts.
Dimensions Length: 5 1/2" (14 cm)
Habitat Locally common summer visitor (mainly Mar-Aug), mostly to Texas, but range expanding; often feeds in vicinity of water. A few remain in southern Texas throughout year but most are presumed to winter in Central America.
Observation Tips Beware confusion with Cliff Swallow.
Range Florida, Southwest, Texas, Plains
Voice Utters a sharp che-wiit and various twittering notes.
Discussion Similar to Cliff Swallow, but separable with care. Reddish orange forehead distinguishes adult from all but southwestern Cliffs (unlikely to be encountered in east), and note paler throat and face generally, showing obvious contrast with dark cap. Juvenile Cave's pale face, throat, and nape are best features for separation from juvenile Cliff. Nests colonially, making mud nests in caves or under bridges. Sexes are similar.

Glory Moving Forward After GLORY 9 New York
- Written by Steven Wright
If there is one reason why I will never leave the kickboxing sport, it is because the product rarely fails to deliver. This was accomplished once again in New York, as the best kickboxing promotion in the world made its way to the States for the first time. Glory 9 featured a 8-man Light Heavyweight tournament, bringing in a lot of the best 209 pound (95kgs) kick boxers from around the world. They also filled the super fights with top ten heavyweight competitors and a chance to look at several of the Road to Glory products on the biggest stage. The main Glory card used a representative from each US Road to Glory tournament, with the exception of the recent Super Heavyweight tournament done a week earlier.
As I mentioned in the opener, and despite the black eye left by the Ref decision in the last bout of the night, the product delivered. A fighter announced himself to the world, as Wayne Barrett, 1-0 into his pro career, took out middleweight Road to Glory winner Mike Lemaire. Wayne introduced an awkward style and exceptional athleticism, making himself one to watch moving forward. We got confirmation; Joseph Valtellini performing as advertised with his dominate low kick win, Rico Verhoeven overcoming a mental lapse to out-kickbox Errol Zimmerman, and Danya Illunga showing why he was so hittable, yet incredible in his run to the top of 95kgs. The stars performed, Daniel Ghita delivering a multi shot combo KO, just a few months removed from being on the other end of one. His win showed the crowd just what an elite top 3 fighter in the heavyweight class looks like. Finally, they had their moment, as tournament favorite and kickboxing super star Tyrone Spong was dropped ten second into the bout as a right hand caught him while he was firing an inside low kick. After seeing several "WTF" tweets dominate my twitter wall, Spong got up, measured with his left while loading up his right hand, then sent a bomb that dropped opponent Michael Dutt. Adding to the legend of the moment, Dutt got up, beating the count, but then feeling the concussion roll over him, returned to the mat. You couldn't have scripted a better opening moment.
So night complete, how does Glory move forward? As the event ended, a flood of ideas went through my head. Most of those thoughts were about the bad stoppage at the end of the final bought, but the other ones were solid to the subject of moving forward.
Final destination should be Barclays Center, not Madison Square Garden
It is rumored that the house that ECW built, the Hammerstein Ballroom was fitted for 1700 people and they filled every seat. Solid first step. When you consider that the "Muay Thai at the Mecca" promotion did 3000 in the Theatre at the Garden on a predominately local card, you can see that there is opportunity for solid growth. However that growth should finish with a relationship with Barclay's, who like Glory is the new kid on the block. As Barclay's is beginning its history now, so is Glory. Barclays Center had another great draw for the Adrien Broner Welterweight title win over Paulie Malignaggi. I think the combination of connecting with the future of events in New York and the future of kickboxing should start now, as both are about the same age. The Garden is a dream, but outside of the Knicks and the Rangers, no sporting event has a lasting relationship with them. Concerts and various other events show and go, but I think Glory would be best served by developing something lasting. Its now perceived as laughable, well it was perceived as laughable when it was announced too I guess, but the idea that K-1 was going to the Garden big room on the 'show and go' theory was destined to fail. Glory has already avoided that mistake, now to do it the right way, which means a relationship with a venue.
Getting Live TV down
Having the replay on CBS Sports is a good start, but live has to be the final goal. Whether its Fox Sports 1, or NBC Sports, revisiting Spike: who had K-1, but failures in management led to the termination of that relationship, whatever the final destination, the goal is clear. They must get live. I do not see the pay-per-view model providing long term stability, in particular in the states, and especially online pay-per-view. Yet if they can get of Eurosport, Sky Sports, Fuji TV, Spike, etc. all live at the same time, then they will really excel at getting the Glory product out there. This is not to overlook that they have gotten themselves on TV in over 180 countries, but to focus on locking down the american audience with a live product. Right now, Showtime and Spike would be the two I would really pursue, both are looking to grow in the 18-35 male demographic. Kickboxing would go well with the "man channel" theme Spike has pursued over the years. Showtime has been looking for a replacement for Strikeforce, and a lot of the MMA audience is familiar with the kickboxing brand, so I think that would be a great place to start. Plus, Showtime has a relationship with Barclays...see what I did there.
Tournament field
Tyrone Spong was clearly the best light heavyweight so him being there and winning made sense. Danyo's resume makes sense of his inclusion as well. You can make the case for a few others in the field also. Yet this was not the best 95kg field they could put together. I know Nathan Corbett is tough to get, because he calls the shots and makes a lot of money to kill guys we have never heard of on the Gold Coast. Yet if we are going after the best, he should have been in this field. If we remove him from the equation, there are still some top level names I would have liked to see get that spot. Fellow writer Rian "Stream Master" Scalia and I tweeted about Ondej "Spejbl" Hutnik during the card, winner of the Enfusion 95kg show. I am bias here, but as a huge fan of Russian Vladimir Mineev, I'd love to see him in the field as well. Zabit Samedov, coming off the biggest win of his life over Badr Hari three weeks ago. Either or both of the Stoica brother's Bogdan and Andrei. I could really go all day with the names. Yet this is an easy fix. Like the 70kg tourney last year, there must be an Elimination round. That would give 16 fighters the opportunity to compete and thus eliminate names that were excluded for the limited 8 man field. Really, kickboxing is of a level that every weight class warrants at least 16 man field.
Overall, Glory just did a sold out show in the states, which had a good portion of the MMA community talking about it, as most flocked to the Glory card in hopes of filling the void left by the lack of MMA events last night. Sure a local MMA show can fill more than 1700 seats, but Glory is on the right track, and Pierre Andurand, who loves the sport, is making great personal decisions. Bringing in Andrew Whittaker, the man who took WWE global is brilliant, despite the fact that he is doing the opposite job with Glory, making a international product domestic (Can't be credited with that connection, I read it on SB Nation) Glory is definitely moving in the right direction...now about that bad stoppage...

Robert Langton Douglas (1864-1951) was born in Suffolk, England and educated at New College, Oxford. For a number of years he lectured at this university and for a time was in holy orders in the Church of England. From 1895 to 1900 he resided in Italy and while a chaplain there, he wrote a monograph on Fra Angelico in consultation with various scholars. He relinquished his church appointment in 1900 to become professor of Modern History at the University of Adelaide, Australia, then returned to Italy in 1901 where he wrote A History of Siena.
He lectured on art at the Royal Institution and the Society of Arts and was made dean of the faculty of Arts in 1901 and contributed to many magazines and reviews. At age 50, in 1914, Douglas enlisted in the British Army for World War I and rose from private to staff captain and a position with the War Office in London. Douglas was awarded for his bravery in World War I. In 1916 Douglas was appointed Director of the National Gallery of Ireland but resigned in 1923 after a disagreement with its trustees. He was known chiefly as an authority on Sienese art and amongst his most important publications were an edition of Crowe and Cavalcaselle's History of Painting in Italy (1903, et. seq.), La Maioliche di Siena (1904), and an Illustrated Catalogue of Pictures of Siena and Objects of Art (Burlington Fine Arts Club, 1904). He eventually settled in New York in 1940 until his death in 1951.

No. 7 Eagles cruise past No. 16 Cal Poly
CHENEY, Wash. - It was the start-to-finish performance the Eastern Washington University football team was looking for. And out-rushing the opponent and getting a forced fumble and recovery on its own interception were a bonus.
Coming up with big drives on offense and big stops on defense, the seventh-ranked Eagles rolled past 16th-ranked Cal Poly 34-17 in a non-conference college football game Saturday (Nov. 3) at Roos Field in Cheney, Wash
"I couldn't be more proud of our players," said Eastern head coach Beau Baldwin. "They responded in every way you can talk about from the beginning of the week, to scouting, to how they approached meetings, film and practice. This was not a response to an average football team -- it was a response to a team that was 7-1 coming in here. I couldn't be happier. The guys deserved this and they worked for this."No. 7 Eagles cruise past No. 16 Cal Poly
With two regular season games to play, the victory gives an inside track toward a berth in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs. Eastern improved to 7-2 overall and 6-1 in the Big Sky with the victory, while Cal Poly suffered its second-straight defeat of the season after seven-straight wins overall and five in the league.
"It's a monster win," Baldwin continued. "It's huge. It's our seventh win of the season in week nine which is big. It was against an opponent that I expect to be in the playoffs. Two teams that potentially have a chance to be in the playoffs went against each other today so it's a big win."
Redshirt freshman quarterback Vernon Adams led the Eagles with 288 yards passing and 68 on the ground, as the Eagles finished with a season-high 542 as a team. He completed 19-of-29 passes and had three touchdown tosses, and also rushed for 68 yards. Eastern's scoring drives in the game were of 81, 66, 74, 69, 41 and 83 yards.
Eastern had its second-best rushing effort of the season with 254 yards, with sophomore Quincy Forte finishing with 83 and junior Demitrius Bronson adding 82 and a score.
Senior Nicholas Edwards had a team-leading five catches for 55 yards, with junior Brandon Kaufman adding four for 88 yards and a pair of scores. Senior Greg Herd added four catches for 74 yards and a one-handed TD grab. Junior offensive guard Brandon Murphy also had a key play with a forced fumble the Eagles recovered after EWU's only turnover of the game on an Adams interception.
Defensively, the Eagles allowed the vaunted Cal Poly triple-option attack to rush for 251 yards and finish with 411 yards total. The Mustangs were at one point in the game 9-of-13 on third down, but converted just one of its last five. The Eagles forced Cal Poly to punt five times, and also had a 3-1 advantage in turnovers forced.
"No, I did not (expect us to match rushing yards with Cal Poly)," admitted Baldwin of the three-yard rushing advantage. "I felt like we could do some things running the football. Our guys knew the plan and they went in there and just executed it. It was nice to play a ballgame like that against a really good opponent."
Senior defensive end Paul Ena had a team-high nine tackles, and redshirt freshman safety Jordan Tonani and junior linebacker Ronnie Hamlin each had 10. Linebacker Zach Johnson, who has played sparingly this season with a hamstring injury, returned from a five-game absence to finish with seven tackles, a pass broken up and a key third down tackle in the third quarter.
Two other key defensive players – defensive tackle Andru Pulu and linebacker Cody McCarthy – also returned after missing games because of injuries.
"Even when we have some injuries, our defense is great in terms of resiliency in how they play each week," said Baldwin. "When you get a couple of those starters back, it adds to the overall talent and depth. It was neat to see."
Eastern scored on its first possession of the game, with Adams leading Eastern on a seven-play, 81-yard drive. Bronson capped the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run.
After a Cal Poly field goal, Herd gathered in a pass from Adams along the sideline with one hand and scored from 28 yards out. That capped a seven-play, 66-yard drive and gave EWU a 14-3 lead.
Eastern couldn't capitalize on a Cal Poly fumble deep in Eastern territory, and the Mustangs came back to pull with14-10 with a 76-yard drive.
But the Eagles responded with two more impressive drives generated by Adams. His 43-yard TD pass to Kaufman capped a quick three-play, 74-yard drive. Eastern took a 24-10 lead at halftime after a 38-yard field goal by Jimmy Pavel, capping a 10-play, 69-yard drive.
In the second half, a big break came for Eastern when Murphy forced a fumble after an interception by Adams. Center Ashton Miller recovered and the Eagles got the ball back at the Cal Poly 41. Four plays later, Adams found Kaufman for a 10-yard TD pass and a 31-10 Eagle lead.
The Mustangs drove to the Eastern one-yard line on the next possession, but Johnson's stop on third down was followed by a stop on fourth down with cornerback T.J. Lee was able to trip up Cal Poly quarterback Andre Broadous just shy of the goalline.
Pavel closed the scoring for the Eagles with a 33-yard field goal with 10:15 left in the game, and EWU forced Cal Poly to punt on its next two possessions. The Mustangs scored with 2:26 left, but the Eagles successfully recovered the onside kick.
One week earlier, Eastern lost its No. 1 ranking in FCS after a frustrating 30-27 loss at Southern Utah on Oct. 27, then later that day, the Mustangs were upended at Sacramento State 35-29.

RE:unusual wing...
Interesting! I have used scraps of packing foam (the very thin kind that comes with electronic devices) for emerger wings, but the idea of scales remind me of polar bear in the sense that the irridescence is unmatched by synthetics.
Thanks for the tip.
unusual wing...
Jos'e, Juro et al,
A friend of mine told me about an old colleague of ours who did a lot of different types of fishing, not all FF. He often took scales to age fish as the scientist in him came to the surface from time to time. Now he had found a second use for the scales, well those from pike anyway. He dampened them, cut them to shape and used them as wings for black gnats, wet and dry. He felt that the irredesence, transparency and toughness of the scale is second to none.
I have practiced a tying and have yet to acheive something really worthwhile, but they still catch. I thought some fly tying experts of the FFF would do the technique justice. As the scales can be relatively large the size of fly is determined by how the scale behaves when wet. Some get a bit curly, but this may be no harm for emerging patterns...
I leave this nugget with you all to contemplate. Do get in touch and post your experiences (for all to benifit from).

I sure hope it works that well for me!
I sure hope it works that well for me!
It's been 12 days now and my pup hasn't required another spray and is so quiet in the house now we can't believe it's the same dog!
Rick, as Susan posted try increasing the % vinegar. She indicated that it may take persistence over 2 or 3 weeks. I was reluctant to put an ecollar on a very young pup.Unfortunately this didn't work as well for me. It didn't phase him one bit. He backed up licked his lips and barked for more. I guess my last resort is a bark collar.
I'm not ready to put a bark collar on him yet at this age, I'll try increasing the % and see if that helps.
Pick up a copy of James Lamb Free's old retriever training book and read his solution.

Will this work with a 2 year old? I have one that I had to finally resort to a bark collar at 4 months. Just a big mouth. He barks in the crate, in the big kennels, in the dog box on a tie out, just about anywhere when he wants to be somewhere else. He barks when the other dogs go in or out of their kennels or boxes. He barks when I leave and when I come back. I get tired of keeping the bark collar on him so often and for so long. So far its the only thing that works. Oh yeah, this is the same dog that is so exceptionally quiet and steady at the line, training or test! Go figure.

text: I am in the process of training my second retriever pup, so i am fairly new to this and was hoping to get some advice. I have a 4 month old female british lab, who I am training using Evan's Smartwork system. She has been progressing very well until earlier this week when she broke early and got hit by a bumper in the mouth while i was throwing a mark. She bit down when the bumper hit her, and made a small gash in the side of her tongue. If that's not bad enough it also happened to be during the same session that i introduced her to real birds. She has dealt with wings a lot before this but no whole birds. Now she is acting scared, and shying away from bumpers, and birds. Not sure how to correct this problem without making it worse. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Where I stayed
We arrived at the Hearst Castle visitor centre around 11.00 am, and managed to get on the next tour, at 11.10 am. Funnily enough, neither of us had spotted the 'castle' which was on the hill above us, as we travelled to the area, which is San Simeon - you may have heard of it
Hearst castle was built by William Randolph Hearst over a period of 20 odd years. It is just stunning. Doesn't look like a castle from the outside - more like a church, but it is definitely a castle on the inside. The swimming pools - outdoor and indoor - are stunning. Graham - I have found somewhere for the lunch time swimmers to do laps in the future!!!! It is an indoor pool, probably 25 m in length, and is tiled in 14 carat gold and blue tiles. Hopefully will get a pic of it included today.
The tour, and the guide, were excellent. You start at the base from the Visitors Centre and travel by us (takes 15 mins) to the top of the hill, about 1300 feet up overlooking the San Simeon area and the Monterey peninsula. The views are fabulous, and by the time we got to this area the fog was well and truly gone - blue sky and sunshine all the way. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, and added hugely to the tour. You get to view the Neptune pool, one of the three guest houses on site, the main reception room, the dining room, the pool room and the "home theatre" as well as the tennis courts and the indoor pool in this tour. There are three other tours that can be taken, all costing about the same amount, that do varying other things - view more rooms, give more indepth information, provide a good view of the entire grounds, and also a night time event with dress up characters adding to the authenticity
The Castle is part of the National Park, and also is a registered Art Museum. The paintings (originals) some of which we got to see, were stunning. In fact the whole place was. This was somewhere I had wanted to go, and Malcy was happy enough to come along, but even he was blown away by the place. He didn't stop snapping pics the whole time we were there.
We left the area around 3.00 pm, and were unsure where to head. Chose one area slightly inland, but ultimately changed our mind and headed to San Luis Obispo. However the detour gave us some great views of stunning wine country which is prevalent in this area. Made me think that it must be much like the French areas - very arid, but acres and acres of grapes.
San Luis Obispo was an area I had heard positive things about, and wanted to visit, and am pleased we have ended up here. We struck the right day - market day, which started at 5.30 pm and went through until 9.30 pm. The local farmers bring their produce to town to sell, and local artists entertain. The place was just stacked with stalls and people - something Invercargill would envy enormously. And the strawberries, and apricots and peaches and nectarines and apples and oranges and, and, and,....
We had tea in town (which was forgettable), and then found a patisserie on the way home - probably shoudl have missed it, but we succumbed! We shared a lovely Raspberry/Lemon cake - which was probably made for 4, but who was counting!
Tomorrow we have a short jaunt to Santa Barbara. Have decided to stay around the coast area - it is just lovely. The spanish influence is very prevalent here, but not so much in the people - more in the buildings, etc. And no beggars to be seen in this town so far - much better! Temperatures also slightly warmer here - got to 75 today.

Matt Lovelace do not worry about your writing skills I thought you did an excellent job describing Keith's passion for the hunt.
You asked-
"How many of us would have given up the fight? Would you battle as hard as Keith did for eight years, after having more major surgeries than the body could stand?"
I don't know, not sure any of us really know until we are there. I would like to think I would. Remembering Keith's story certainly gives me inspiration.
Thank you for sharing.
Bless your entire family.
Best regards,

Exhaust Port
With all the interest in the popular culture of the 80's, I was thinking how great it would be to have an 80's cable channel completely devoted to the decade. I realize that we already have TVLand but that's not specific enough. I want to see 24 hours of our favorite TV shows and movies. Saturday mornings would be filled with the cartoons we remember from our childhood. There are so many shows, movies and commericals from that decade that would be awesome to see regularly that I'd pay to have it pumped into my house.

Your feet sweat and it makes your shoes wet. Let your shoes stew in sweat for a few days, and what do you get? The answer is stinky shoes.
News You Can Use
- Sweaty shoes get stinky because of mold and bacteria that thrive in the damp, dark interior. Drying sweaty shoes on a radiator may help reduce shoe moisture and the stinky shoe problem. But that may not be enough.
- Another way to help dry out and deodorize sweaty shoes is shown in the wacky teen video below. However, this method may also fail to cure the problem.
- A better way to dry out sweaty shoes may be with little packets of silica gel, like the one pictured below. These packets often come in packaged goods, including boxes of new shoes.

- What is silica gel, and why is it used to keep things dry? Silica gel consists of the molecular compound named silicon dioxide, or SiO2. This compound acts as a desiccant. A desiccant is a substance that can draw moisture out of the air around it.
What Do You Think?
Learn more about silica gel and desiccants at the links below. Then answer the questions that follow.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silica_gel
- http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/science-questions/question206.htm
- http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorption
- Silica gel works by adsorption. What is adsorption? Does it cause a physical change or a chemical change?
- How much moisture can silica gel adsorb? Why is silica gel such a good desiccant?
- Why do you think such small beads of silica gel are used in desiccant packets? Why not use larger beads or even one big chunk of silica gel? (Hint: The answer has to do with surface area.)
- When silica gel has adsorbed all the moisture it can hold, can it be reused? If you answer yes, explain how it can be reused.
- Do you think silica gel would be good to add to cat litter? Why or why not?

Debt issuance knocked out stock sales last year as investment banks' biggest source of revenue in the Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan.
Low interest rates fed an explosion of bond offerings and loans, more than offsetting a halving in the value of new stock-market listings.
But the total fee pool for bonds, stocks and mergers and acquisitions shrank in 2012 to the lowest level since 2009, even as overall business increased, a shift that reflected broad pressures on fees as well as the fact that bond deals pay less than other investment-banking work.
Bankers expect bond revenue to dominate again in 2013, even as business, particularly in M&A, picks up. Revenue for individual banks could remain under pressure, as they increasingly must share business with competitors.
That is making Asia seem less like the pot of gold that bankers had sought. In turn, some global banks, including Credit Suisse Group AG , Deutsche Bank AG Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley cut staff last year, and firms aren't expected to do much hiring early this year either.
"If they can move some of their people about internally, from areas where there is little deal flow to areas where there is more work, they will do so," said John Mullally, associate director of financial services at recruitment firm Robert Walters PLC.
Overall, investment-banking fees slid 15.5% to $7.7 billion from $9.1 billion in 2011, according to estimates from deal tracker Dealogic.
Fees from bond and loan underwriting accounted for 39% of total investment-banking revenue, overtaking M&A advisory work and equity underwriting for the first time, it said. The figures include business in Australia and New Zealand but exclude Japan, a large but domestically focused market.
In Japan, debt issuance and M&A work pushed up investment-banking fees by 10% to $2.6 billion.
UBS earned the most revenue among banks in the region excluding Japan for the 10th consecutive year, collecting an estimated $420 million in fees, according to Dealogic. The biggest chunk—almost half—came from IPOs and other share sales. The year's business included advising on Temasek Holdings Pte. Ltd.'s $7.3 billion sale of its stake in PT Bank Danamon to DBS Group Holdings Ltd. in April and $5.2 billion in bond issuance by mining firm BHP Billiton Ltd. in February.
The Swiss bank was followed by Credit Suisse with $353 million, which moved up one spot J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. came in third with $339 million, up from fifth in 2011.
Goldman Sachs was hurt by a drop in new listings, one of its usual strengths, and the surge in bond issuance, where it has long been weak. It finished fourth overall in revenue with $309 million, down from second place and $479 million in 2011.
"The rise in debt business has helped investment banks in Asia at a time when the IPO business is down compared to 2009-2010." said Therese Esperdy, co-head of banking at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.'s Asia-Pacific corporate and investment banking unit.
The value of investment-banking deals in the region climbed 18.9% in 2012 to $1.77 trillion in the region, from $1.5 trillion in 2011, according to Dealogic. The big increase came in bond and loan underwritings, which soared 41% to a record $1.1 trillion.
Banks advised on $508 billion of mergers and acquisitions, down 5.2% from $536 billion.
The big hit was in IPOs, which plunged 51% to a four-year low of $39 billion, as investors soured on new listings and the number of megadeals shrank.
U.K. jeweler Graff Diamonds Corp. canceled a $1 billion Hong Kong IPO in June, and U.K. motor sports franchise Formula One Group postponed a $2.5 billion Singapore IPO that month as well.
As recently as 2010, when giant IPOs for Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. and insurer AIA Group Ltd. hit the market, the business accounted for 61% of total investment-banking revenue. In 2012, that figure fell to 37%.
"I don't think we will go back to those periods when equity underwriting was over 60% of total investment-banking revenue," said Vik Malhotra, head of investment banking for the Asia-Pacific region at Credit Suisse Group.
Bankers said debt issuance will likely continue to dominate their Asian business, remaining the key driver of fees this year.
"In an environment of continued low interest rates, investors are highly motivated to seek yield…and companies may also turn more to the bond markets to raise funds given Basel III and the changing regulatory environment for the corporate banking sector," said Chris Laskowski Citigroup Inc. 's chief operating officer for corporate and investment banking for the Asia-Pacific region.
But companies are adding more and more underwriters to bond deals, reducing the slice that each firm gets in a business that already tends to pay a fraction of the fees that an IPO commands.
"In the past, you rarely saw a bond deal having more than five [banks], but you sometimes see as many as 10 now," said Stephen Williams, head of debt capital markets in the Asia-Pacific region at HSBC Holdings .
Sometimes there are even more. When state-owned China Cinda Asset Management Co. issued $321 million worth of offshore yuan-denominated bonds in December, 12 banks were involved.

Over the last several days I've spent some time camping in the desert and driving the backroads with K.C. O'Connor, marketing director for Four Wheel Campers. We ended this portion of his trip with a visit to Overland Journal headquarters where K.C. had a chance to show off the latest iteration of the new Overland version of their camper product line to some of our staff.
K.C. O'Connor discusses the new Overland camper with Overland Journal's Design Director, Stephanie Brady.
The Overland edition has a full compliment of features and upgrades that are tailored to the traveler who will be away from towns and developed campgrounds for extended periods, traveling self-contained with a desire to live comfortably in remote locales. Some of the features include a low-mounted water storage tank, dual Odyssey deep-cycle batteries, solar power, power management, hot water heater and shower system, and a 12VDC refrigerator (as opposed to the traditional 3-way design).
Publisher Scott Brady talks to K.C. about the new features.

Abby at the hospital, watching Winnie the Pooh. Abby's new favorite thing.
To our surprise, Abby was discharged from the hospital today. Yeah! Her white blood cells increased a little and that helped her doctor feel comfortable allowing her to healing at home. She is still coughing, snoring and having headaches BUT she is home and surrounded by people who adore her. God is good.
Abby has FOUR doctors appointments this week and is supposed to have her sleep study tomorrow. The sleep study lab will probably postponed once again since Abby is sick. I really want that one done, but I understand that it needs to be done right.
Abby looks pretty good, but her headaches are back. She is getting pretty tired of all of the medical appointments, procedures and pain.
Abby just wants to be a normal, healthy little girl. We have a really busy week and Abby doesn't have a lot of energy to begin with.
I would love to hear your ideas for fun, easy things we could do with with Abby, that don't take a lot of her energy to do. She needs to have some fun and I long to see her smile.
Thanks for continuing to pray.

Hans Hofmann was a strong influence on many American Abstract Expressionist artists, as a teacher and, especially, as a draughtsman; his own practice as an oil painter manifested itself later in his career. His firsthand knowledge and experience of French and German avant-garde art included the emergent Cubism and Fauvism in Europe, and he knew the major protagonists.
Two drawings from 1935 show Hofmann's adoption of elements of these styles. The dynamic diagonals of Seated female nude contrast with rhythmic curves in Reclining female nude: we see remnants of Picasso and Braque's angular Cubism versus Matisse's expressive Fauvism. Eight years later, his Seated female figure 1943 shows Hofmann's evolution, and mature synthesis of both approaches.
Hofmann spent his first decades in the United States practising and teaching drawing, and his fluency increased during this time. Using brush and ink allowed freedoms such as the dramatic outlining of forms, as well as larger movements of the artist's hand and arm over the sheet. Close observation of the model's body was transformed into more complex aesthetic choices. As Hofmann became a most important influence on the development of Abstract Expressionism, the increasing abstraction of nature was more evident as American artists liberate themselves from the European tradition.
Christine Dixon
The National Gallery of Australia holds one painting and five drawings by Hofmann: two female nudes of 1935, a self-portrait c. 1932–35, all brush and ink; and two untitled drawings of 1943, brush and ink, one with watercolour and charcoal.

I missed out on the first couple of Women of the DCU busts and therefore decided not to collect them, but my brother has most of them and they are great! I might actually end up getting Power Girl (a personal fave!) There's a new series starting soon based on the art of Terry Dodson in case you hadn't heard. They look awesome as well, and since Dodson's style has similarities to Hughes' they should actually look quite nice together! Plus...Starfire!
This isn't figure or toy related but I thought folks like J&H might like to know that the $1 bins at Target have Superman stuff now. I bought a Supes notepad and a pack of ballpoint pens from there today.

Gerry, Teachers are as diverse a group as any other profession, within them you will find all types. Like any bell curve there will be a certain percentage at the top bottom and a majority somewhere in between. Most are in it for the right reasons, the few that aren't are like the bad eggs in any group, giving a bad name to everyone. I've been in schools where the peer review would work great. However, I've also been in a number of schools that had worse cliques that the junior high lunch room. If you weren't one of the "in-crowd" you would have been out no matter how good you were. There are so many variables that I'm not sure there is one foolproof method.
Helen has touched on an important issue: Administrators. I am the son of a former teacher turned principal turned superintendent, and have taught and worked in a number of schools over the past 15 + years. There are way too many poor admins. "running" schools. The best principals I've worked for were teachers for a while before becoming admins. Many admins are coming into it fairly early in their careers, and tend to forget the day to day of the of being in the classroom, and lack the experience to deal with the myriad of people and issues that they will be faced with. Admin pay?? that's another topic that can be debated over and over. Good admins are definitely worth good money. (How much is the big debate.) When you factor in the number of people, money, and importance of their product they are responsible for with their educational level. With all the talk about weak teachers, a lot of people look to the admin to get rid of them.... Part of the admins job is to make their teachers better too. One of the purposes of of observations and reviews is for improvement not just to document so you can get rid of someone. Being a coach as well, I relate a lot back to athletics, and admins need to be a sort of coach too. When people aren't performing the way you would like, coach them up. I contend that when you see a school where a number of teachers aren't up to snuff you will find a poor administration. Good leadership is at the core of any successful group.
Gerry, clean out your pm's

The appointment of Mr Hugh Alsop adds impetus to Hatchtech's pursuit of its phase III development and commercialization goals
Singapore: Specialty pharmaceutical company Hatchtech has appointed former Phosphagenics vice president, Mr Hugh Alsop, as the company's new chief executive officer.
The appointment follows the resignation of Dr Ross Macdonald as CEO. Dr Macdonald will step back onto the board to resume his non-executive director role. His leadership took the company through a transitional period in which the company concluded a highly successful phase IIb study and end of phase II consultation with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its lead product DeOvo, a single application topical treatment for head lice, and completed a $6m financing to position the Company to begin its Phase 3 program this year.
Dr Macdonald decided to resign to pursue his other interests. Hatchtech Chairman Dr Paul Kelly said, "We are very grateful for the contribution that Ross has made to Hatchtech over the past year as CEO and pleased he is remaining on the board as a Non-Executive Director."
Mr Alsop was formerly vice president of Operations and Business Development at Phosphagenics. His former roles include director of Business Development at Acrux from 2006-12 where his highlight achievement was his role in the Axiron licensing to Eli Lilly in March 2010. At the time, this was the largest single product licensing deal by an Australian biotech company, with $335 million in potential milestone payments and a significant royalty stream. Axiron was subsequently approved for use by the FDA.
Prior to Acrux, Mr Alsop was responsible for successfully expanding Sigma Pharmaceuticals' export markets in Europe and Asia completing a number of out-licensing, manufacturing and distribution agreements. He was also responsible for the commercial aspects of Sigma's contract manufacturing business, focusing on maximising existing relationships and seeking new growth opportunities. Prior to Sigma he spent eight years at Mayne Pharma (formerly Faulding Pharmaceuticals) in a variety of roles.
"The appointment of Hugh Alsop adds impetus to Hatchtech's pursuit of its phase III development and commercialization goals and we look forward to working closely with Hugh to achieve these outcomes," said Dr Kelly.

For the tenth day of the 12 Days of 2FA, we'll go over how to set up two-factor authentication for Bank of America online and mobile banking. Due to unique security needs from bank to bank and user to user, banks tend to call 2FA different things, and you'll run into different protocols for setting it up at different institutions. Some demand a second factor of authentication not necessarily for log-ins but for particularly sensitive or high-value transactions, for example. Check twofactorauth.org's more comprehensive list of banks, credit unions, and financial institutions, and get in touch with your own to learn more.
For the ninth day of the 12 Days of 2FA, we'll look at how to enable two-factor authentication on PayPal. No matter where on the web you are doing your last-minute online holiday shopping, you are likely to run into the option to pay with PayPal.
PayPal calls 2FA and the associated verification codes "Security Keys." This can be confusing if you think of security keys as hardware 2FA devices like YubiKeys. Regardless of the naming, the idea and execution are the same as other services we have looked at: if signing in requires something you have (like your phone) as well as something you know (your password), then your account has an added layer of protection.
There are a lot of political uncertainties around the incoming Trump administration, but the threats to civil liberties are potentially greater than ever. President Obama failed to rein in the surveillance state, and Mr. Trump has nominated cabinet members like Mike Pompeo who are big fans of bulk surveillance. Now, given Mr. Trump's campaign posture of being a "law and order" candidate who has openly criticized Apple for standing up for strong encryption, tech companies need to be even more vigilant in fighting for their users in the courts.
Holiday shopping is in full swing this week as we enter the eighth day of the 12 Days of 2FA. Today we'll look at how to enable two-factor authentication on Amazon to protect your financial information, shopping preferences, and purchases.
As the 12 Days of 2FA continue, we wrap up the week with a guide to enabling two-factor authentication on Dropbox. Dropbox supports 2FA over SMS or over one of several popular authentication apps.
On a cloud storage and sharing service like Dropbox, protecting shared files often means working with others. Protecting your account with 2FA gives your documents and files the best security when the people you share them with do the same. For a more comprehensive list of cloud services that support 2FA, check twofactorauth.org.

Born in Albino, near Bergamo, in the first half of the 1520s, he received his education in Moretto's workshop in Brescia. Giovan Battista Moroni made his debut with his own works in Trento in the mid-1540s. It was in Trento, crowded out in those years with participants at the Council, that the painter first saw examples of international portraiture. Very soon, he too was able to convey the manner and spirit of these paintings.
When Moroni returned to Bergamo, he flanked his considerable output of sacred works with a prolific activity as a portraitist. Indeed, he became in a way the "official" portraitist of the Bergamo nobility. Well introduced into the cultured pro-Spanish circles which revolved around the poetess Isotta Brembati, the second wife of the man depicted, Moroni made portraits of many of its members. He followed the style and formulas of international Mannerist portraiture, following Mor and Titian, who were models (Titian's Philip II is one example) for the painting shown here.
The Cavaliere in Rosa is perhaps the most famous example of the artist's courtly works. In view of the social level of those portrayed, the sometimes rustic realism of his early years has disappeared, but he was well able to describe a reality which he makes no attempt to idealise. Moroni makes these "official" portraits, in which each element has its own precise meaning, come alive. Each detail is designed to convey the social position and prestige of the sitter: this can be seen in the preciousness of the attire, minutely examined in all its qualities, the haughty pose with the proud gesture of the hand placed on the hilt of the sword, the sumptuous colours, the precious materials and the setting which is in a certain sense official.
