Looks like Tatooine Ghost was released yesterday. (I was thinking it was still a week off! Just call me your friendly neighborhood know-nothing moderator! ) Prequels finally meet classic trilogy: to say this one is highly-anticipated is the understatement of the year.
There's an excellent interview and excerpt on at http://www.starwars.com/eu/feature/20030303/index.html that is making me positively drool for this book. I'll be picking up a copy ASAP and throwing in my two cents on this book. In the meantime, y'all get to discussin'!

Apple Officially Unwraps Plastic iPhone 5C, Aluminum iPhone 5S, and iOS 7
iPhone 5S
Starting with the former, the iPhone 5S retains the same overall look and feel with its anodized aluminum body, diamond cut chamfered edges, and 4-inch Retina display. Rumors of a larger display proved unfounded, though Apple did change up the color scheme a bit. The iPhone 5S comes in gold, silver, or "space gray," each of which sports a two-tone finish that you've probably already seen in leaked photos.
The most significant upgrade is the A7 processor. This is a 64-bit chip, making the iPhone 5S the first smartphone ever to rock a 64-bit foundation. Apple says the iPhone 5S offers 2X faster CPU performance than the previous generation iPhone and 2X faster graphics. In short, everything you do on the new flagship device should be quicker and smoother.
Apple upgraded the rear-facing iSight camera to 8-megapixels with a larger f/2.2 aperture and a new, larger sensor with 1.5μ pixels for improved sensitivity and low-light performance. It also boasts a two-tone flash.
The other big reveal is the new Touch ID system. Apple built a fingerprint reader into the redesigned Home button that now features a laser cut sapphire crystal with a capacitive touch sensor. All fingerprint information is encrypted and stored in the Secure Enclave in the A7 chip, not in the cloud.
Everything else is pretty standard far (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and so on). The new models will be available September 20th for $199 (16GB), $299 (32GB), and $399 (64GB) with a two-year service contract.
iPhone 5C
Apple also unveiled the iPhone 5C. This is really a retooled iPhone 5, but made from polycarbonate plastic and available in several color options. It features the same 4-inch display and A6 processor, has an 8MP iSight camera, an improved FaceTime HD camera. In addition to plastic construction, there's a steel reinforced frame to keep it sturdy, though it also serves double-duty as a multiband antenna.
"iPhone 5c is everything iPhone 5 was and more, in an all-new design packed with great features," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "iPhone 5c is designed with a beautiful polycarbonate enclosure that looks and feels so solid in your hand."
The iPhone 5C will come in blue, green, pink, yellow, and while and will be available in the U.S. for $99 (16GB) and $199 (32GB) starting September 20th (pre-orders kick off September 13th). You can also order iPhone 5C cases in blue, green, pink, yellow, black, and white for $29.
iOS 7
Finally, Apple introduced iOS 7 with a completely redesigned user interface. It's been built to take advantage of 64-bit technologies in the iPhone 5S, including a native 64-bit kernel, libraries, and drivers, though it's also backwards compatible with 32-bit apps via Xcode support.
"iOS 7 also provides deep integration with the new Touch ID sensor and takes full advantage of the new iSight camera sensor to enable new features like automatic image stabilization, Burst Mode and Slo-Mo video with 120 fps.," Apple said. "Combined with the new Camera App in iOS 7, iPhone 5s provides up to two-times faster auto-focus, faster photo capture and better dynamic range. iOS 7 is designed to complement the gorgeous exteriors of iPhone 5c, with matching wallpapers and translucency that carry the color through the entire experience."
Apple says there are 200 new features in iOS 7. To name just a few, the Notification Center is now available from the Lock screen, there's improved multitasking that allows you to switch between apps in a more visual and intuitive way, and a new method to quickly and easily share content with nearby people called AirDrop.
iOS 7 will be available as a free software update starting on Wednesday, September 18 for iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, iPad mini, and iPod touch (fifth generation).

Try this one. You will love it.
Teriyaki Chicken
1 cup dry instant rice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ginger powder
1 pgk honey
2 pgk soy sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1 can or pouch of chicken

Pernicious anemia is a decrease in red blood cells that occurs when your intestines cannot properly absorb vitamin B12.
See also:
Macrocytic achylic anemia; Congenital pernicious anemia; Juvenile pernicious anemia; Vitamin B12 deficiency (malabsorption)
Pernicious anemia is a type of vitamin B12 anemia. The body needs vitamin B12 to make red blood cells. You get this vitamin from eating foods such as meat, poultry, shellfish, eggs, and dairy products.
A special protein, called intrinsic factor, helps your intestines absorb vitamin B12. This protein is released by cells in the stomach. When the stomach does not make enough intrinsic factor, the intestine cannot properly absorb vitamin B12.
Common causes of pernicious anemia include:
Very rarely, pernicious anemia is passed down through families. This is called congenital pernicious anemia. Babies with this type of anemia do not make enough intrinsic factor or cannot properly absorb vitamin B12 in the small intestine.
In adults, symptoms of pernicious anemia are usually not seen until after age 30. The average age of diagnosis is age 60.
You are more likely to get this disease if you:
Certain diseases can also raise your risk. They include:
For information on other causes of low vitamin B12 levels, see: Anemia - B12 deficiency
Some people do not have symptoms. Symptoms may be mild.
They can include:
If you have low vitamin B12 levels for a long time, you can have nervous system damage. Symptoms can include:
The doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam. Tests that may be done include:
This list is not all-inclusive.
Pernicious anemia may also affect the results of the following tests:
A woman with low B12 levels may have a false positive Pap smear. That's because a vitamin B12 deficiency affects the cells certain cells, called epithelial cells, look.
The goal of treatment is to increase your vitamin B12 levels.
Your doctor or nurse will also recommend eating a well-balanced diet.
Patients usually do well with treatment.
It is important to start treatment early. Nerve damage can be permanent if treatment does not start within 6 months of symptoms.
People with pernicious anemia may have gastric polyps, and are more likely to develop gastric cancer and gastric carcinoid tumors.
Brain and nervous system problems may continue or be permanent if treatment is delayed.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency.
There is no known way to prevent this type of vitamin B12 anemia. However, early detection and treatment can help reduce complications.

So ... who should play Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie?
It's a heated debate that has raged ever since the film adaptation of the best-selling erotic trilogy was announced, and waiting to find out is like Red Room torture.
Minus the pleasure, of course. Though there is some fun in speculating on which actor should portray Christian, as well as who should play Ana Steele.
With the decision coming soon - it has to be if they're ever going to actually make the movie - we want to know who you would most drool over in the role:

A healthier choice for a snack, and it's ready for dipping in 10 minutes!
Hummus is a Middle Eastern spread made from mashed garbanzo beans (chickpeas), garlic, lemon and often sesame oil. Serve our updated version like they do in Turkey. Make a depression in the middle of the bowl of hummus, and spoon in a tablespoon of olive oil.
If a food processor is not available, mash the chickpeas with a fork. The mixture may be slightly lumpy, but the texture does not interfere with the flavor.

Emailed message sent to Valdez City Clerk was unintentional Tom Wright says in apology
February 6, 2013 | Vol. 25 Edition 6
Source: Alaska Legislature website
Rep. Mike Chenault, Speak of the Alaska House, had a top aid access his email and sent the Valdez city clerk a inappropriate response.
"What a crock of sh-t."
Only the expletive was fully spelled out and sent directly to Valdez City Clerk Sheri Pierce from the official legislative email address of, Rep. Mike Chenault, Speaker of the House in the Alaska House of Representatives.
The email was sent to Pierce in reply to an email Pierce sent to all legislators and Gov. Sean Parnell on behalf of Valdez Mayor Dave Cobb. The email contained an electronic copy of a hard copy letter Cobb sent to Parnell's Juneau office regarding the All Alaska Gasline Project.
"I was shocked to receive that," Pierce said in a telephonic interview Thursday, "and offended."
The Valdez Star sent an email enquiry to Chenault's address asking "Is this the House Speakers official position regarding exporting Alaska's natural gas from the North Slope through Port Valdez?"
The Valdez Star received this response from Chenault's senior staffer, Tom Wright, "Hopefully you received a copy of the email I sent to Sherri Pierce apologizing for my actions. As I stated in the email to Ms. Pierce the reply was in Representative Chenault's name but I accessed his email, as I normally do, and again, intended to forward the message. The reply was reactive and the response was mine and does not represent the Speaker's position on the issue.
The Valdez Star did indeed receive a copy of Wright's email apology, printed in full below.
"Dear Sheri:
Please accept my apologies for the response which was inadvertently sent to you. I was forwarding the email to some of my peers and I hit reply rather than forward. If my language offended you again, please accept my apologies. The reply was not from Representative Chenault. The reply was in Representative Chenault's name but I accessed his email as I normally do and again, intended to forward the message. The reply was reactive and the response was mine and does not represent the Speaker's position on the issue. If you or Lee have any questions or need further information, please call at the work number listed below.
Again, my sincerest apologies.
Senior Staff - Speaker Mike Chenault's Office - State Capitol, Room 208"
Peirce said the email was still inappropriate regardless of the authorship or its intended audience.
"When I opened the email I was taken aback by the tone of his response," she said.
At a special work session Wednesday night between the Valdez City Council and representatives from the city's newly hired public relations firm, Walsh Sheppard, Cobb shook his head when asked about the reply from Chenault's office.
"I'm not going to stoop to his level," Cobb said. "but I'd like to."
City officials, along with other public and private entities along the Richardson Highway corridor, have been locked in a high-stakes political battle over developing Alaska's natural gas reserves on the North Slope.
Chenault is the sponsor of House Bill 4, a piece of legislation introduced in Juneau last Monday, which would authorize the construction of a natural gas pipeline to somewhere in the Anchorage or Kenai area that is opposed by supporters of the Valdez route; Valdez supporters say the plan laid out by the Alaska Gasline Port Authority provides a maximum benefit to all Alaskan and point to various recent studies they say back up their assertions, while HB 4 will mainly benefit Alaska's large population hubs only as far as provided cheaper energy to consumers and if passed, and does not increase state revenues as significantly as the Valdez route.
To request of copy of the original emails sent from Chenault and Wright's addresses, send a request to firstname.lastname@example.com
Chenault`s aide should be fired for misrepresentation to voters. Then Chenault should be fired for saying it because he did. His aide isn`t dumb enough to hit the reply button instead of the send button. Speaker Chenault?...now let`s think about it for a minute. We have lying or misrepresentation. One or the other. You pick. I say it was Chenault and this is the only possible move open to him to salvage his credibility. A little late for that i`m afraid...
02/10/2013, 3:40 pm
Umm, so his Senior staffer has these views but Chenault does not? Is that what we're supposed to believe? The next question should have been, So exactly what is Rep. Chenaults view on this, since Mr. Wright is inferring something different. I've seen this e-mail and it clearly says from firstname.lastname@example.com NOT from Tom Wright. If Mr. Wright is allowed to respond using Rep. Chenaults official e-mail then Chenault needs to man up and take the blame. What a joke these people are

Attention players: do not smoke weed, get busted, be given a second chance, snoke more weed and get busted again. Play hard and show character. That making impact.
The haters are a small percentage...but thats all we see on the rant.
Redfield, i am lurker for sure but felt compelled to respond. I always enjoy the recruiting board and your contributions. I avoid the rant for most part but unfortunately came here after a few beers. Ive always felt you to be a solid contributor and respected your opinions but you're wrong here.
Just because you overcame your demons quicker doesnt mean TM7 can or will. I was in the same boat and had a lot of people stand by me past 21 yrs old. Tough love, sure, he's kicked off the team, watches them lose to Bama, sees a bunch of aholes here bash him, his team, and his coach. Nothing tough about that right? How dare he defend them or recommend other young men to avoid the hateful bastards here.
Everyone has different paths and i hope his leads him to all the success in the world. I loved watching him play as a tiger and understand some of the troubles he encountered as a man. I am just glad i didnt have to live mine under the microscope of all these dbags.

When North Bennet Street School (NBSS) was founded in 1885, founder Pauline Agassiz Shaw advocated the Swedish system of craftsmanship training known as "sloyd," a method focused on the development of character and intellectual capacity, as well as technical skills. Today, the philosophy of sloyd, which means "craft" or "hand skills," remains at the heart of NBSS education.
The core of the education is the eight full-time programs. Complementing the full-time programs, the continuing education department offers workshops, short courses and certificate programs that are open to the general public.
Eight full-time professional programs train students for careers in Bookbinding, Cabinet & Furniture Making, Carpentry, Jewelry Making & Repair, Locksmithing & Security Technology, Piano Technology, Preservation Carpentry, and Violin Making & Repair.
The full-time programs provide intensive, hands-on training in a structured framework with a focus on practical projects. Each project builds on previous learning and requires students to solve increasingly complex problems. This method encourages students to systematically develop their hand skills, along with an understanding of tools, materials, and processes, a sense of care, and a commitment to excellence in their craft.
Additional learning takes place through lectures, reading assignments, field trips, and discussions. However, working at the bench remains the most important part of each program — providing a practical context for students to receive and apply information and advice from instructors who are masters of their craft.
While NBSS has used the same teaching approach for more than a century, course design and content reflect the recommendations of students, graduates, employers and artisans in each field. Our rigorous programs, master faculty, and inspiring community encourage individual growth, curiosity and commitment to excellence as well as technical mastery. Our goal is to provide exceptional preparation for careers that employ hand skills to produce objects that last.
North Bennet Street School is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). ACCSC is a private, nonprofit, accrediting organization dedicated to ensuring educational quality and integrity in America's post secondary career schools. ACCSC accredits more than 800 post secondary schools and colleges in the United States and Puerto Rico, annually serving more than 250,000 students.
Surrounding the full-time programs is a much wider community of individuals who care about traditional crafts and who want to learn a new skill or perfect and expand an existing practice. Among this group are children and teens who are naturally curious and fearless makers who often have few opportunities to learn hand-skills. Workshops, short courses, programs for families and teens are offered through the Continuing Education programs.
NBSS courses are rigorous. Instructors expect students to perform all required work, and to do it to the highest standard within a supportive, stimulating environment. Classrooms and shops are informal. Small classes allow instructors to provide individual attention. Equally valuable is the opportunity for NBSS students to help and learn from each other. Students come from across the country and around the world and their diverse life and work experiences encourage a lively exchange of ideas and perspectives. It is common for program graduates to remain involved with the school, offering their insight and expertise as guest lecturers, instructors, networking contacts, and employers.
In the Spring of 2010, North Bennet Street School and the John Eliot School, neighborhood public elementary school, revived a program that was initiated one hundred years ago by the founders of the school. In a three-year pilot program, middle-school students from the John Eliot School come to North Bennet Street School once each week for woodworking classes. Read more about this unique program here.
"It's a little corny, but I love this school. I would stay here for a long time if I could."

Great article in the American Thinker about how the current administration manipulates the media via over-stating some of our problems. Like the current push for Health Care; instead of cleaning up the wasted spending and reforming Health Insurance, the current administration is trying to push thier package on US citizens by not being honest with the American people.
However, the out-of-control spending is a real crisis in the making.

Swiss stocks - Factors to watch on April 25
ZURICH, April 25 The following are some of the main factors expected to affect Swiss stocks on Tuesday:
March 21 Advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended that Titan Pharmaceuticals Inc treatment for opioid addiction be approved, but were unconvinced that the company's marketing plan was safe enough, given the potential for abuse of such drugs.
The panel of advisers, who met in Silver Spring, Maryland to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Titan's Probuphine, also echoed concerns expressed on Tuesday by FDA staff, who said it was difficult to decide if the intended dose of the drug would be effective enough.
FDA advisers voted 10-4, with one abstention, to agree that Probuphine be approved, based on its safety, effectiveness and risk-benefit profile as seen in its clinical studies.
"I think it is a drug that we definitely need and the more we can put into our (opioid dependence) treatments, the better for our patients," said Dr. Louis Baxter, one of the panel members said.
Federal data shows that drug overdose death rates have more than tripled since 1990. In 2008, more than 36,000 people died from an overdose, mostly caused by opioid painkillers, which outpaced deaths from heroin and cocaine combined.
Probuphine, a long-acting version of British drugmaker Reckitt-Benckiser Group Plc's branded drugs Subutex and Suboxone, is implanted under the skin of the upper arm during a 10-15-minute office procedure for about six months.
"I think Probuphine's safety is adequate, due in part to the fact that we have an adequate medication already on the market using implant materials we don't doubt," said another panel member Dr. Christopher Kratochvil, referring to the implantable, progestin-releasing contraceptive Norplant.
Probuphine needs to be surgically inserted under the skin, for which general physicians would need training. Some of the FDA advisers worried that Titan did not have an adequate plan in place for this.
"If you're not a surgeon and don't do implants on a regular basis, you're likely to wind up with a deep insertion, which is a big problem," one of the panel members said.
Five of the advisers voted "yes" when asked if the risk-mitigation strategy proposed by Titan sufficiently addressed the potential danger of abuse and misuse that could come with the drug's use.
Four voted "no," while 6 abstained, most saying they thought Titan needed to work better on how it would avoid misuse.
Dr. Edward Covington, the panel chairman, concluded the meeting saying that there was agreement Titan's drug had a "great potential utility," but deficiencies remained, in terms of finding the right dose and working out a risk-mitigation plan for when the drug goes to market.
The FDA is not required to, but usually takes its advisers' vote into consideration when delivering a final verdict on marketing approval of a drug.
ZURICH, April 25 The following are some of the main factors expected to affect Swiss stocks on Tuesday:
TOKYO, April 25 Japan's Toshiba Corp will start taking bids for Landis+Gyr, its Swiss smart meter unit, as early as June, Kyodo news agency reported on Tuesday.

One streak was going to end when the NBL's top two teams clashed on Friday night and it was the Perth Wildcats who beat the New Zealand Breakers 73-58 to win their 13th straight game at Perth Arena.
The Wildcats' victory saw New Zealand's 16-game winning run come to an end with Perth also ensuring it took an empathic 3-1 series win over the Breakers with an overall points advantage of 44 from the four games.
However, both Perth and New Zealand will now eagerly await confirmation of their semi-final opponents with the Wildcats finishing second with a 22-6 record and the Breakers first with 24-4.
Kevin Lisch hit 18 first half points for the Wildcats and finished with 24 to go with four assists.
Shawn Redhage added 14 points, Jesse Wagstaff 13, Matt Knight 12 points and 13 rebounds and Rhys Carter 10 points, six assists, five rebounds and two steals.
Corey Webster top-scored for the Breakers with 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting from the field with Mika Vukona adding 11 points and 13 rebounds. Cedric Jackson had just three points, but six assists, five boards and four steals.
Even without injured co-captain Damian Martin (heel), the Wildcats started the game on fire hitting the first 11 points with Redhage and Lisch particularly on fire.
However, the Breakers then hit back through the impressive Webster, an 11-0 run reducing the margin to just a point at quarter-time.
Lisch got even hotter in the second term with 14 points of his own as Perth took a 47-33 advantage into half-time, and then had another 7-0 run thanks to Redhage and Lisch to maintain their dominance during their third period.
CJ Bruton threatened to shoot the Breakers back into the game in the last quarter, but the deficit was a stretch too far with the Cats holding on to win by 13.

The Jihad Next Door
By Rania Abouzeid
Politico Magazine
"'There are now Farouk training camps, not a camp, in Syria,' Abu Maria, a senior Nusra emir in Idlib province, told me one night not long ago. 'The one Farouk training camp in Afghanistan, it's very famous. Its graduates include [9/11 hijacker] Mohmmad Atta,' he added. 'If it did all of this to the world, then what do you think the many camps in Syria will do?'"
After Karzai
By Mujib Mashal
The Atlantic
"The Afghanistan that Karzai leaves behind is certainly a more inclusive and cohesive country than the fractured mess he inherited. ... But because of the president's leadership style, these gains appear tenuous. Under Karzai, a relatively free press has blossomed, but every time threats against it have emerged, they have been blunted not by the institutions or laws Karzai put in place, but by the president's personal intervention. The same can be said for women's participation in society, which has grown tremendously, but with few institutional safeguards."
The Failed Economy of Ukraine
By Roger Guiu and Enrique Jorge
"The treaty proposed by the EU and the IMF will go down in history as a big mistake. Ukraine was a dysfunctional economy with an overvalued currency, burdened with an uncompetitive industry that could only survive thanks to favourable treatment from Russia, and an ever-increasing fiscal, commercial and energy deficit. An opening up of free trade with the far more competitive European common market was not feasible without structural reform. Neither would it have been beneficial for Ukrainian crop exports given the EU's protectionist agricultural policy. In any case, the country would have defaulted."
Inaugurating the Digital Fourth Amendment
By Richard Re
"There's a lot to love in Riley v. California, and privacy specialists will be celebrating this one for a long time. In a nearly unanimous opinion packed with references to gigabytes, apps, and the cloud, Chief Justice John Roberts proved that the Justices get it. They get that digital technologies are different from anything our culture has seen before. They get that people are using those technologies in a million dynamic ways that were unimaginable a generation ago. And they get that, in at least some contexts, the Old Rules need to change."
Beyond Red vs. Blue: The Political Typology
Pew Research Center for the People & the Press
"[U.S.] partisan polarization – the vast and growing gap between Republicans and Democrats – is a defining feature of politics today. But beyond the ideological wings, which make up a minority of the public, the political landscape includes a center that is large and diverse, unified by frustration with politics and little else. As a result, both parties face formidable challenges in reaching beyond their bases to appeal to the middle of the electorate and build sustainable coalitions."

Lightning: Apple's new, smaller dock connector for iPhone 5 and iOS devices
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Corporate News, USB
During today's iPhone 5 event, Apple unveiled its new Lightning dock connector that will ship on the new iPhone 5. The company is switching its iOS devices from the familiar 30-pin dock connector, to the smaller 8-pin design. Nothing was said about the speed, but based on the name, we are assuming that the Lightning connector is compatible with USB 3.0 speeds. The connector is also reversible, making it easier to use. For those with accessories that rely on the 30-pin connector, Apple is also releasing an adapter to make the transition easier.

Birds of a feather flocked together in support of the Avian Conservation Center and the Center for Birds of Prey on Sunday, December 5. Guests arriving to Wild at Bulls Bay were greeted by a volunteer holding a tiny owl before making their way out to the back patio to watch a feeding presentation of one of the Center's larger predatory birds out on the golf course.
After the presentation, everyone crowded back inside to peruse the silent auction, snack on heavy hors d'oeuvres, and rub elbows with celebrity conservationist Jack Hanna. The space was tight, but spirits where high and everyone was happy to be supporting a good cause. The sea of party-goers was punctuated with feathered friends, and crowds of awed guests gathered around trainers holding birds of prey of all sizes.
While the live auction was certainly a highlight of the evening, everyone seemed more excited to mingle with Jack Hanna and appreciate these beautiful birds in person.
The Avian Conservation Center was founded in 1991 and works to identify and address critical threats to South Carolina's habitat and natural resources. The Center also treats and releases injured birds of prey, as well as conducting research into how to best protect our endangered species.

For the 2003–2004 travelling exhibition The Good, the Great and the Gifted: Camera Portraits by Yousuf Karsh of Ottawa and Athol Shmith of Melbourne, Australian photographer, filmmaker and writer Peter Adams has contributed an opinion piece drawn from his personal interviews with Athol Shmith in 1986 and Yousuf Karsh in 1992. These interviews and the portraits he made of these two elder statesmen form part of Adams' extraordinary project Living Legends. In 1983 Adams travelled across the globe interviewing and photographing over 500 of the 'world's great photographers of people'. In the lead up to The Good, the Great and the Gifted, separate longer articles by Adams on his Karsh and Shmith interviews were published in the Spring and Summer 2002 issues of the magazine Better Photography.
Peter Adams clearly takes sides personally, professionally and aesthetically with the work and personalities of his two subjects. In doing so, Adams reveals both something of the way photographers work and what they think of their peers. He also raises a number of sharp questions about just what a portrait photograph by a photographer with a distinctive and dominant style can actually achieve in representing another person.
This collaboration between the National Gallery of Australia and a prominent member of the photographic industry in Australia forms part of a five-year program undertaken by the National Gallery's Senior Curator of Photography, Gael Newton. Over the past year Newton and Australian Institute of Professional Photography council member Doug Spowart have written a series of articles on the National Gallery's collection, encouraging greater awareness among Australia's professional photographers of the photographic works held in the national collection.
To read essay CLICK HERE
The National Gallery began collecting photographic art in the early 1970s and the acquisition policy covers both international and Australian photographers from the 1850s — the medium's first decade — to the present.
Questions for discussion for student groups and exhibition visitors about the essay by Peter Adams and The Good, the Great and the Gifted travelling exhibition have been prepared by the National Gallery.

Affirmative Action Terms
Adverse Impact
The selection of protected-class members at a rate lower than that of other groups. A selection rate for any race, sex, or ethnic group which is less than four-fifths (4/5 or 80%) of the rate for the group with the highest rate will generally be regarded by the enforcement agencies as evidence of adverse impact.
Affected Class
Any group that continues to suffer the effects of past discriminatory practices. Affected class status must be determined by analysis or court decision.
Affirmative Action
Specific actions in recruitment, hiring, upgrading and other areas designed and taken for the purpose of eliminating the present effects of past discrimination, or to prevent discrimination.
Affirmative Action Plan (AAP)
The written document through which management assures that all people have equal opportunities in recruitment, selection, appointment, promotion, training, discipline and related employment areas. The plan is tailored to the employer's work force and the labor pool with the necessary skills in the relevant job market. It prescribes specific actions, goals, timetables, responsibilities and describes resources to meet identified needs. The plan is a comprehensive results-oriented program designed to achieve equal employment opportunity rather than merely to assure non-discrimination.
Discrimination of individuals based on their age; i.e. of the elderly based on the notion that they are incapable of performing certain functions such as driving, or of the young based on the notion that they are immature and therefore incapable of performing certain tasks.
American Indian (Native American) or Alaskan Native
A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North America, or who maintain cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition.
Annual Goal
Referred to in the goals and timetables section of the affirmative action plan, the annual goal is an annual target (annual in that it is the one-year life of the AAP) for placing underutilized groups of protected-class members in those job groups where underutilization exists.
Applicant Flow
The number of applicants applying for a particular job over a given period of time, analyzed by protected class characteristics.
Applicant Pool
All people who have applied for a particular job or group of jobs during one period of opening. The collection of candidates from whom the selection or selections for available positions may be made.
Asian or Pacific Islander
A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands. This includes people from China, India, Japan, Korea, the Philippine Islands, American Samoa, and Vietnam.
Black (Non-Hispanic)
A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa (except those of Hispanic origin).
Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ)
A qualification that is needed to be able to perform the duties of a particular job, which would otherwise be unlawful because of its discriminatory impact on one's sex, religion, national origin, etc. Examples are the requirement that an actor playing the part of a woman be a woman or that a minister of a particular religion be a member of that particular religion. The concept of BFOQ is interpreted very narrowly by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the federal courts.
Business Necessity
A legitimate business purpose that justifies an employment practice as valid and necessary for the effective achievement of the organization's objectives as well as the safe and efficient operation of the business.
Civil Rights
Personal rights guaranteed and protected by the Constitution; i.e., freedom of speech, press, freedom from discrimination.
Collective Bargaining Agreement
A written contract between an employer and a labor union, for a definitive period of time, spelling out conditions of employment, wages, hours of work, rights of employees and the union, and procedures to be followed in settling disputes.
A situation in which an agency fully meets the requirements of laws, rules and regulations and court cases which mandate nondiscrimination and affirmative action.
Disabled Individual
Any person who (1) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more life activities; (2) has a record of such impairment; or (3) is regarded as having such an impairment. The following are general definitions as to the meaning of 'disability': Physical or Mental Impairment means (1) any physiological disorder or condition, cosmetic disfigurement, or anatomical loss affecting one or more of the following body systems: neurological; musculoskeletal; special sense organs; respiratory, including speech organs; cardiovascular; reproductive; digestive; genito-urinary; hemic and lymphatic; skin and endocrine; or (2) any mental or psychological disorder, such as retardation, organic brain syndrome, emotional or mental illness, and specific learning disabilities. The term 'physical or mental impairment' includes, but is not limited to, such diseases and conditions as orthopedic, visual, speech and hearing impairments, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, mental retardation, emotional illness, recovering addicts and alcoholism. Major Life Activities means functions such as caring for one's self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, working, and receiving education or vocational training. Has a record of such an impairment means has a history of, or has been misclassified as having, a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits one or more life functions. Is regarded as having an impairment means (1) has a physical or mental impairment that does not substantially limit major life activities but that is treated by an employer as constituting such a limitation; (2) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits major life activities only as a result of the attitudes of others toward such impairment; or (3) has none of the impairments defined above, but is treated by an employer as having such an impairment. Substantially limits means that the degree the impairment affects employability. A disabled individual who is likely to experience difficulty in securing, retaining or advancing in employment will be considered substantially limited.
Disabled Veteran
A person entitled to compensation under laws administered by the Veterans Administration for disability rated at 30% or more, or a person whose discharge or release from active duty was for a disability incurred or aggravated in the line of duty.
Illegal treatment of a person or group based on race, sex, or other protected-class status. There are two types of discrimination: disparate treatment and disparate impact. Disparate treatment means treating a person differently because of his or her race, sex, disability, or other protected-class status. Disparate impact, a less blatant form of discrimination, means a practice which has a greater negative effect on members of protected classes than on others.
A situation that includes representation of multiple (ideally all) groups within a prescribed environment, such as a university or workplace. An emphasis on accepting and respecting cultural differences by recognizing that no one culture is intrinsically superior to another underlies the current usage of the term.
Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)
Where all personnel activities are conducted so as to assure equal access in all phases of the employment process. Employment decisions are based solely on the individual merit and fitness of applicants and employees related to specific jobs, without regard to race, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, gender, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation, disabled veteran status, veteran of the Vietnam Era status, marital or citizenship status (except in those special circumstances permitted or mandated by law).
Equal Pay
To provide equal pay for men and women performing jobs requiring equal skills, effort, and responsibility and which are performed under similar working conditions (as required by the Equal Pay Act of 1963 for employers subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, i.e., in a department store a female salesperson in the ladies' shoe department must receive pay equal to that of a male salesperson doing equal work in the men's shoe department).
Ethnic Group
A group identified on the basis of religion, color or national origin.
A quality assigned to a specific group of people historically connected by a common national origin or language. Ethnic classification is used for identification rather than differentiation.
Executive Order
A regulation by the President of the United States or the chief executive of a state which has the effect of law.
See Disabled Individual.
A person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.
Originating from a culture with ancient ties to the land in which a group resides.
Job Analysis
The systematic study of a job to identify work behaviors and other information relevant to the job that will enable those planning examinations or other selection devices to determine the knowledge, skills and abilities required for successful performance on the job.
Job Category
A grouping or aggregation of job classifications for purposes of analysis or official reporting. For example, officials and administrators, instructional, professional non-instructional, clerical/secretarial, technical/paraprofessional.
A person classified as black (not of Hispanic origin), Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander, or American Indian or Alaskan Native.
National Origin
This term refers not only to one's place of birth, but to an ancestor's place of birth as well.
A condition achieved in an organization when the protected class compensation of its work force is equal to that in the relevant available labor force.
Prima Facie
A legal presumption that arises from a basic showing of facts that will control a decision unless the factual showing is rebutted.
Protected Class
A group of people protected from employment discrimination under government regulations and laws, specifically identified as women, blacks, Hispanics, Asians or Pacific Islanders, American Indians or Alaskan Natives, people over age 40, the disabled as defined under Section 503, and disabled veterans and Vietnam era veterans as defined under the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act.
Mandated hiring quotas (usually by head count) have no place in affirmative action compliance. They are seen as rigid and inflexible and do not foster the intent of affirmative action.
Reasonable Accommodations
The changing of environment, schedules or requirements to adapt to the known physical or mental limitations of a qualified disabled applicant or employee.
Selection Process
Any measure, combination of measures, or procedures used as a basis for any employment decision; commonly consists of minimum qualifications, test(s), employment interview, and probationary period.
Sexual Harassment
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when: Submission to conduct is either an explicit or implicit term or condition of employment; or Submission to or rejection of conduct is used as a basis for an employment decision affecting the person rejecting or submitting the conduct; or The conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an affected person's work performance, or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.
Sexual Orientation
A private preference, a history of such a preference, or an identification with having such a preference of an individual for heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality.
To categorize people based on an artificial construction of a certain group designed to impart the "essence" of that group, which homogenizes the group, effacing individuality and difference.
Fewer women or minorities in a job group than their proportion in the agency's workforce.
Having fewer women or minorities in the employer's workforce than could reasonably be expected based on their availability in the labor area.

Isuzu Tournament Update -- Sudsakorn, Thepsutin out in February
- Written by Dave Walsh
Some of you may have noticed changes to the scheduled lineup of the Isuzu Tournament at the end of the groups phase. In February, Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee from Group A and Thepsutin Pumpanmuang from Group B were barred from the tournament for breaking contract stipulations by fighting outside of Thailand during the duration of the tournament, similar to what happened to Cosmo Alexandre with It's Showtime.
We ended up seeing Nopparat Keatkhamtorn vs Antoine Siangboxing and Dernchonlek Sor Sor Niyom vs Diesellek Top King Boxing. Both the original tournament competitors ended up winning their fights, Nopparat by a very close decision and Dernchonlek by third round tko.
Prakaisaeng Sit-Or took a decision over Thanongdet Petpayatai, while Kem Sitsongpeenong knocked out Kongjak Sor Tuantong to close groups action.
The semi-finals concluded on the April 16. Matchmaking for the semi-finals was done by fan vote, which is an interesting innovation by the organizers, as these things are usually decided by the organizers or by the fighters themselves. Dernchonlek vs Nopparat took place on April 2nd. Nopparat took the decision despite Dernchonlek was a favorite to face Kem in the finals.
Kem Sitsongpeenong vs Prakaisaeng Sit-Or was originally scheduled for April 9, but was postponed due to Kem being sick. The match ended up happening on April 16 with Kem winning by round 4 tko.
This places Nopparat and Kem in the finals. Kem has to be the heavy favorite in this match-up since he's scored multiple KO victories over Nopparat, including one in the groups phase of this same Isuzu Tournament. If he wins this tournament, he will proceed to Thai Fight 2011 where he also likely will be a heavy favorite in a field of foreign fighters.

Does anyone know if there is a possibility that I can do something to keep my EHD from starting a new backup when I unplug and replug it? I have it hooked up to my laptop and sometimes unhook it to take the laptop somewhere. When I reconnect it Mozy starts over.

I ran into the same problem. If you disconnect the ehd, stop the Mozy back up first. It's a pain, but it will keep the backup from starting over. When you plug it back into the laptop, start Mozy back up again. Good Luck!
Posted 25 January 2011 - 08:37 PM
I think the only thing you can do is pause your backup, then unplug your EHD, then plug it back in, then restart your backup.
The reason it starts over is because it thinks the files are new. Mozy isn't really designed to accommodate EHDs, so that's the best workaround I found.

Great question Karen, I just got my Mozy all started and completed the initial backup and I haven't unplugged my EHD yet so I probably would have had the same issue when I did!

This fun video has been circulating around the net of late. It shows rush hour in Utrecht, the 4th largest city in the Netherlands, sped up to add a little drama. There's young and old, zipping along on their way to work. It makes me think maybe it's not so impossible for cities and towns in the States to embrace greener ways to get around. Click here to see the video.
Check out the fancy, extra spacious bike lanes (they almost look like streets made especially for bikes!) Is this what it will take for people start to consider their bike a legit form of transportation? It's pretty flat in Utrecht; they're lucky they have that to get them motivated!

Nazi propaganda to be topic of Shoah Remembrance day discussion
Binghamton University will host a discussion on the work of controversial German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 29, in Lecture Hall 6 on the campus. The discussion will be led by James May, who will talk about his life as a young school boy in Nazi Germany and the impact the Nazis' star filmmaker had on his life.
Riefenstahl was commissioned by the Nazis to film the 1936 Olympic Games "as a song of praise to the ideals of National Socialism." She employed more than 100 cameramen to shoot 1.5 million feet of film and spent two years in the cutting room to produce what still remains one of the greatest propaganda pieces of all time.
The discussion is being held as part of Shoah Remembrance Day, which commemorates the six million victims of the Holocaust killed by the Nazis during World War II.
The discussion is sponsored by the Harpur College dean's office, the Department of Judaic Studies, Hillel of Binghamton University, and the German, Russian and East Asian Language department.

What was the average combined score per game back then? Would be curious to compare...
Jim Kiick also had over 500 yards that season. As a team, they were 40 yards short of 3000 rushing yards that season, pretty damn impressive for 14 games. I think the pats hold the all time record, 16 game season in '78.
My dad got season tickets for the family beginning in 1972. One of the few downers of that season was the second half of the Colts game, the season finale in the Orange Bowl. Everybody knew that Morris was closing in on 1000 yards, and that no team had managed two backs to do it within the same season.
We kept feeding Morris the ball in the 4th quarter, mostly on sweeps. Baltimore had an awful season but they maintained some talent and pride. They got penetration and stopped one sweep after another. There were portable radios all over the stadium in those days. You could hear Rick Weaver becoming increasingly concerned as it looked doubtful Morris would get there.
When the game ended, despite completing an unbeaten regular season, it was very quiet and subdued filing out of the Orange Bowl. Felt like failure, and a bit of shock. Our offensive line had been dominant all season until the second half of that Colts game.
A few days later the NFL announced that they found the missing 9 yards for Morris, elevating to exactly 1000. The sports media launched into widespread ridicule, and it carried over to the mainstream talk shows. People were discovering the missing everything. There was one wag comment after another. If a back gained 383 yards that season, people were finding the additional 617.
It was actually legitimate. I remember the play in question, against the Bills. Morrall threw a swing pass to the left that was headed forward but swatted by a defensive lineman. He hit it so quickly after it left Morrall's hand that it was immediately ruled a lateral. Morris sharply retreated and fell on the ball. He was credited with a 9 yard loss on a rush. There was booing and abuse in the Orange Bowl when fans realized the play had improperly been ruled a lateral. We never threw laterals on plays like that. Only when the NFL finally reviewed the tape months later was it correctly changed to an incomplete pass, and Morris' 9 yard loss eliminated.
I believe the NFL has turned into a passing league because of the lack of being able to build depth on both sides of the ball. The Dolphins had a number 1 offense and number ranked defense.
I had totally forgotten that a QB rushed for 1,000 yards.
In 1973 - The Dolphins Larry Csonka rushed for 1003 and Morris rushed for 954 yards and they won the Super Bowl a 2nd time, the last time we would win it to date.
The 1972 Miami Dolphins team actually went 18-0 and did something no future perfect season champion could ever do. (the forgotten game) grant it, it was played in 1973, but so was the Super Bowl. From this game, the College All-stars were coach by John Mckay, who of course went on to become the Bucs first Head coach.
CHICAGO, July 27 (AP)-The bristling College All-Stars, rated 17-point underdogs, carried the game to the World Champion Miami Dolphins but yielded two touchdowns to crashing fullback Larry Csonka and bowed 14-3 in the 40th All-Star Football Game Friday night.
Before going down for the collegians' 10th straight defeat on rain-drenched Soldier Field, the All-Stars missed a touchdown by six inches and outplayed the National Football League champion Dolphins between Csonka's touchdown smashes leading off the first and fourth quarters.
The punting of Southern Mississippi's Ray Guy and the sharp quarterbacking of Bert Jones of Louisiana State thrilled a capacity throng of 54,103, which was thoroughly drenched by a torrential downpour at halftime of the nationally televised game.
Guy provided the All-Stars' only points with a 10-yard field goal with 15 seconds left in the first half when the best All-Star thrust of the game stalled after reaching the Dolphin six-inch line.
It took a fourth-quarter rally on the passing of 39-year-old Earl Morrall, in relief of Bob Griese. to wrap up the Dolphins' hard-earned victory with Csonka's seven-yard scoring smash after 3:57 of the fourth period.
Csonka, who bulled three yards for the first Miami touchdown to cap a 60-yard drive in the opening quarter, got his second touchdown after Morall whipped a pair of decisive passes to Jim Mandich.
In a drive starting from the Miami 46, Morrall flipped a 24-yard pass to Mandich carrying to the All-Star 20 and then hit Mandich on an 11-yarder reaching the seven.
On the next play, Csonka crashed around the right All-Star flank for a touchdown. The All-Star defense played brilliantly against the outweighed Dolphins, who were undefeated in 17 NFL games in a perfect 1972 season.
But it was rugged Dolphin lineman Bill Stanfill who met Purdue's Otis Armstrong head on at the goal line to kill the best All-Star scoring chance late in the second period.
A penalty set the All-Stars back to the Miami five and three plays later, Guy drilled his field goal from the 10 to cut Miami's lead to 7-3 at halftime.
Guy, who averaged a sizzling 44.1 yards on his nine punts, missed a 16-yard field goal late in the third quarter after another All-Star touchdown chance faded following recovery of a Dolphin fumble on the Miami nine.
A Griese bobble on a center snap was recovered by Florida State's Jim Thomas, but the All-Stars still wound up on the Dolphin nine and Guy's field goal try went wide to the right.
After that, it was downhill for the All-Stars as Morrall took over from Griese. The Dolphins' first line quarterback had hit on six of nine passes for 75 yards compared with nine for 16 and 79 yards by All-Star Jones.
Jones had a potential touchdown pass dropped by Florida State's Barry Smith at the start of the fourth quarter. On the next exchange, Morrall directed the Dolphins' 54-yard drive for the insurance touchdown.
Armstrong led the All-Star rushers with 39 yards on 11 carries, slamming 16 yards on three successive carries from Miami 17 to the Dolphin one. It was on his fourth straight whack into the middle that Stanfill stopped him six inches shy of the goal line.
The Dolphin victory swelled the one-sided pro edge in the series to 29-9-2. The All-Stars' last victory was a 1963 shading of the Green Bay Packers, 20-17.
Late in the first quarter, an All-Star drive from their 42 to the Dolphin 13 ended when Oklahoma's Greg Pruitt fumbled and Miami's Manny Fernandez recovered on the Dolphin 18.
The 1972 Phins had the #1 rated offense and defense....total dominance.
1000 yard rushing seasons were more impressive in the 14-game era (obviously). It was an incredible feat at that time. It wa salso a great feat in 1985 because most teams had one feature back at that time that got most of teh carries. That said, I am not impressed with any passing records broken in the past 10 years or so because the game is basically flag football in pads. Receivers and quarterbacks are so well protected by the rules that they should be able to reach 275+ passing yards with relative ease...which brings my concern about Tannehill routinely finishing with sub 250 passing yards (his TD to int ration is getting better).
