A symposium organised jointly by Sidra Medical Research Centre and BioMed Central (BMC) mulled trends in research and on open access publishing here Thursday. BMC editors presented global trends in scholarly publishing at the one-day symposium called 'Trends in Biomedical Research and Scholarly Publishing' held at Four Seasons Hotel Doha. The Sidra Symposia Series event is significant since only 1.5% research papers published every year come from the Middle East, organisers said. Sidra's Chief Research Officer Dr. Francesco Marincola said, "Sidra supports scientists in Qatar and the region to share their research around the world. Joint effort is central to success in any scientific work and research publications are a vehicle for this." BMC Executive Vice President Deborah Kahn said, "Sidra and BioMed Central aim to make excellent research visible and accessible to all scientists. "We are delighted to jointly host this symposium. Our editors have a wealth of expertise in science, medicine, and scientific research publishing. We are glad to share and discuss this with the delegates." "Research helps develop knowledge-based economy. So, Sidra and institutions like Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar, Qatar Biomedical Research Institute, open source journal QScience, and BMC colleagues support Arab scientists' growing research work," said Dr. Marincola. Sidra is building a research programme to support local and regional scientific research in partnership with international institutions to build a hub of biomedical research. BMC is a leading open access journal publisher with over 260 titles.

Quercetin Prevents Inflammatory Signal Release from Mast Cells
Byron's Comments:
IL-6 is a major inflammatory immune signal (also released by inflammed fat cells). Calming down this inflammation from mast cells is helpful to health.
Study Title:Regulation of IL-1-induced selective IL-6 release from human mast cells and inhibition by quercetin.
Study Abstract:
Mast cells are involved in allergic reactions, but also in innate immunity and inflammation. Crosslinkage of mast cell Fc immunoglobulin E receptors (FcvarepsilonRI) by multivalent antigen triggers secretion of granule-stored mediators, as well as de novo synthesis of cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6. We showed recently that the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1 stimulates human leukemic mast cells (HMC-1) and human umbilical cord blood-derived cultured mast cells (hCBMCs) to release newly synthesized IL-6 without tryptase in the absence of degranulation. Here, we investigated several signal-transduction pathways activated by IL-1 leading to IL-6 production by HMC-1 and hCBMCs.We also investigated the effect of the flavonol quercetin that was recently shown to strongly inhibit IL-6 secretion in response to allergic stimulation from hCBMCs.IL-1 stimulated p38, but did not activate extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) or c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK); it also did not activate protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes alpha, beta, mu and zeta, except for PKC-theta, which was phosphorylated. The p38 inhibitor SB203580 and the PKC inhibitors Calphostin C and Gö6976 completely inhibited IL-1-induced IL-6 production.Quercetin 1-100 microM inhibited IL-1-induced IL-6 secretion, p38 and PKC-theta phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner. These results indicate that IL-1-stimulated IL-6 production from human mast cells is regulated by biochemical pathways distinct from IgE-induced degranulation and that quercetin can block both IL-6 secretion and two key signal transduction steps involved.

New app sheds virtual weight so faces look slimmer on 'selfies'
By Natasha Baker
TORONTO (Reuters) - A new app that lets users shed virtual weight so their faces look skinnier on "selfie" photos is raising concerns about health and body-image issues.
SkinneePix, for iPhone and Android devices, can trim from five to 15 pounds (2-6 kg) of virtual fat for a slimmer selfie look.
"Cameras add additional weight to photos and when you're taking a selfie you're also dealing with bad lighting, angles, close-ups and a lot of other factors that make people complain that the photo isn't an accurate representation of themselves," said Susan Green, co-founder of the Phoenix-based company Pretty Smart Women that created the app.
It was originally designed to help overweight adults show a leaner version of themselves, but Robin J Phillips, the other co-founder, said the app has also motivated people to lose weight.
"It's a good reminder to get off the couch, turn the TV off, and go for a walk," she said.
But some critics fear the $1.99 app, which only works on single head shots, could encourage an unhealthy body image.
Lauren Dickson, a social worker in the eating disorders and addiction clinic at the Center of Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, said the app is one of many factors that could contribute towards a young adult developing an eating disorder.
"The media obviously has some effect on people developing eating disorders, but it's not the only variable. It's one of many factors," she said in an interview. Continued...

About two years. It is not a Kindle. It is an ASUS TF101
Son purchased it from Best Buy. Don't have any info on warranty.
The sound is coming from the speakers....more of a pop.....after about 10 seconds. A slight click eventually follows. The more I listen, the more it seems to be coming from the lower middle of the tablet.
You're right. It's not the answer I want to hear. Could the problem be in the external charging device? Or is the tablet definitely "junk"?

Taking place the Business Design Centre in Islington, London, the New Designers multi-institution grad show gives a chance to see some marvellous work from the next generation of creative talent from universities from around the UK – from Portsmouth to St Davids to Hull.
Over the past couple of years we thought the New Designers grad show was on the wane for us, with less and less space given over to graphic design, illustration and animation in favour of the show's primary focus: product design. This year we were really pleased that there was a whole extra room given over to the things we cover here at Digital Arts, and the work was of a very high level – though not as outstanding as that on show at the D&AD's New Blood a few days earlier.
Each institution has more space at New Designers than at New Blood, so there was a lot more large-scale physical work on show. This really helped showcase the physical craft work of graduates who had produced dioramas, homewares and books.
Here are our top 10 picks from New Designers 2014.
Hannah Calverley – Nottingham Trent University
While it was this intricate diorama that caught our attention, it's actually the setting for a 20-second sting for the Sky Arts channel. Based on a line from the brief she was given – "A place where creativity lives" – Hannah has built an art gallery in the shape of the word 'Arts', full of figures, well-known artworks and some well-fashioned details from a cafe to fire extinguishers.

On Hannity & Colmes, Novak produces yet another explanation for his claim -- later contradicted -- that his sources deliberately disclosed Plame's identity
On Hannity & Colmes, Robert Novak provided yet another explanation for the apparent contradiction between his assertion, as quoted in a 2003 Newsday article, that Bush administration officials had deliberately disclosed to him the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame and later statements that the disclosure had been "offhand." This time, Novak stated that Newsday had misquoted him.
During an interview on the July 12 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, Fox News political analyst and syndicated columnist Robert D. Novak [1] provided yet another explanation for the apparent contradiction between his assertion, reported in a July 22, 2003, Newsday article [2], that Bush administration officials had deliberately disclosed to him the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame, and his subsequent claims that the disclosure of her identity was inadvertent. This time, rather than characterizing his assertion in Newsday as not "very artfully put," Novak instead accused Newsday reporters Timothy M. Phelps and Knut Royce of misquoting him.
As Media Matters for America noted [3], Novak has subsequently contradicted his quote in the Newsday article, in which he was quoted as saying: "I didn't dig [Plame's identify] out, it was given to me. ... They [Novak's sources] thought it was significant, they gave me the name and I used it." In an interview on October 5, 2003, Meet the Press host Tim Russert asked Novak to explain the contradiction between his statement to Newsday and his claim in his October 1, 2003, column that the disclosure was an "offhand revelation." Novak responded that his statement to Newsday had not been "very artfully put," but that there existed "no inconsistency between those two."
In a column [4] published July 12, in which Novak claimed that he would "reveal [his] role" in the Plame investigation, he wrote that his as-yet-undisclosed primary source for Plame's identity "told me through a third party that the disclosure was inadvertent on his part." The same day on Hannity & Colmes, Novak offered a new explanation for the difference between his statement to Newsday that the disclosure was deliberate and his later characterization of the disclosure as inadvertent: The Newsday account was a "misstatement," and "some of the things that they said that quoted me that are not in quotes are paraphrases, and they're incorrect, such as the whole idea that they planted this story with me. I never told that to the Newsday reporters."
In his original July 2003 column [5], Novak wrote that Plame was a CIA "operative" and that she had "suggested" sending her husband, former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, on a 2002 CIA mission to investigate allegations that Iraq had tried to purchase uranium from Niger. Following the column's publication, Novak gave Newsday reporters Phelps and Royce an account [2] of how he learned Plame's identity from the "two senior administration officials" he had cited in the column:
Novak, in an interview, said his sources had come to him with the information. "I didn't dig it out, it was given to me," he said. "They thought it was significant, they gave me the name and I used it."
On September 28, 2003, the Justice Department launched an investigation [6] into the leak case. Noting that the story had "reached the front pages of major newspapers," Novak wrote an October 1, 2003, column [7] in which his depiction of the leak appeared to conflict with the account he had provided to Phelps and Royce months earlier. He stressed that the administration official who disclosed Plame's identity had not come to him with the information but, rather, had in an "offhand" way mentioned her role at the CIA in response to questions regarding Wilson's selection for the mission:
During a long conversation with a senior administration official, I asked why Wilson was assigned the mission to Niger. He said Wilson had been sent by the CIA's counterproliferation section at the suggestion of one of its employees, his wife. It was an offhand revelation from this official, who is no partisan gunslinger.
In an October 5, 2003, interview [8] on NBC's Meet the Press, Novak further emphasized that the official had mentioned Plame's role at the CIA "offhandedly":
NOVAK: So in interviewing a senior administration official on a number of other subjects, I asked him if he could explain why [Wilson was chosen for the mission], and he said, "Well, his wife works in the counterproliferation section at the CIA" and that she suggested his mission. And it was given to me as an offhand manner and by a person who is, as I wrote in the column, not a partisan gunslinger by any means.
I know when somebody's trying to plant a story. This thing -- this came up almost offhandedly in the course of a very long conversation with a senior official about many things, many things, including ambassador Wilson's report.
On Hannity & Colmes, after co-host Sean Hannity asked Novak how he viewed Wilson, Novak repeated the false claim that the Senate Intelligence Committee concluded in its 2004 report on prewar Iraq intelligence that Plame had been instrumental in selecting Wilson to travel to Niger. Novak's July 12 column also repeated that claim. Also during the Hannity & Colmes interview, Novak stated that there was "no Democratic dissent" in the committee's report. In fact, the report offered no conclusions [9] as to whether Plame suggested Wilson for the trip, and the committee chairman, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS), stated in an addendum [10] to the report that committee Democrats had specifically opposed inclusion of an official finding on the subject. Novak has previously made the same false claims about the Senate report, including in an August 1, 2005, column [11]. As Media Matters has also noted [12], CIA officials have disputed the assertion that Plame was instrumental in her husband's obtaining the assignment.
Indeed, Novak himself at one time accurately noted the committee's lack of a conclusion on the matter, in a July 15, 2004, column [13], writing: "They neither agreed to a conclusion that former diplomat Joseph Wilson was suggested for a mission to Niger by his CIA employee wife nor defended his statements to the contrary." Since then, however, Novak has consistently claimed that the Senate Intelligence Committee report "confirmed" Plame's role in the controversy.
Further, contrary to Novak's latest explanation, the Newsday article quoted Novak specifically on the issue of how he learned of Plame's identity:
Novak, in an interview, said his sources had come to him with the information. "I didn't dig it out, it was given to me," he said. "They thought it was significant, they gave me the name and I used it."
From the July 12 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
COLMES: Help me understand something, because you said in your piece today that you found out Valerie Plame's name originally by reading a Who's Who. And you're quoted in Newsday by Timothy Phelps and Knut Royce a while back as saying, "I didn't dig it out. It was given to me," meaning her name. "They thought it was significant. They gave me the name, and I used it." That sounds like contradictory statements.
NOVAK: Well, that was a misstatement. That was an interview I did on the telephone with Newsday shortly after it appeared. Some of the things that they said that quoted me that are not in quotes are paraphrases, and they're incorrect, such as the whole idea that they planted this story with me. I never told that to the Newsday reporters. But, as a matter of fact, let me assure you that neither my primary source gave -- mentioned Valerie Plame's name to me, nor did Karl Rove mention the name to me, nor did the CIA spokesman. They just talked about Joe Wilson's wife. I got her name from Who's Who.
NOVAK: Well, I am not interested in attacking Joe Wilson. He's attacked me all over the place. He hardly knows me. He knows nothing about me. But I, I am -- I really believe he has put out a tremendous amount of misinformation. And I think he is presently and for some time has been ignored, which is probably the harshest thing you can do to him.
HANNITY: And was championed by the Democrats and was a strong, staunch partisan, especially in the election. And --
NOVAK: Yes. And he kind of lost his seat in the [John] Kerry [presidential] campaign when the Senate Intelligence Committee came out -- granted it was a Republican majority, but there was no Democratic dissent -- in which they validated the premise of my column, for which I received from my original sources that Mrs. Wilson instituted the -- recommended his trip.
COLMES: Will we ever know your original source, Bob? Are we ever gonna know the name of the original source?
NOVAK: I bet you will.

'No more than 30'Riverside council hires part-time worker for city hall
RIVERSIDE — On Monday, April 14, the Riverside City Council approved hiring a part-time employee for city hall. The resolution approval didn't come without some concerns.
City Administrator Rusty Rogerson began the discussion by talking about the two applicants. He said one applicant was qualified and the second didn't meet the qualifications that were posted in the paper.
"I'm recommending that the city offer $12 an hour to candidate No. 1," Rogerson said.
Councilor Nate Kasdorf took issue with how the hiring process was proceeding.
"I thought it was the responsibility of the city council to do the hiring and firing," Kasdorf said. "The reason why I ask that is that we're hiring somebody and I don't have an application from anybody in front of me and I'm supposed to be hiring them. How am I supposed to do that without an application in front of me?"
Rogerson said it was the council's job. He said he was only following what was in previous minutes of meetings when it came to the hiring process.
"We can postpone it until next meeting and I'll make you copies of their applications," Rogerson said.
Kasdorf said the council still had a job to do when it came to the hiring and firing of city staff. He said it wasn't a big issue but still wanted to ask why the council members didn't have copies of the applications.
Kasdorf also brought up how the resolution was worded.
"I just wonder if we shouldn't have something on the resolution to some way control this somehow," Kasdorf said. "I mean not me, myself, but the council. I don't want to see it go on 30 hours a week, 32 hours a week, 38 hours a week, or 40 hours a week and so forth."
Rogerson took issue with Kasdorf's statement. He wanted to know if Kasdorf wanted a daily report on what the employee was doing.
Kasdorf said no. He said he just wanted a detailed monthly report on what that staff member was doing while working at city hall.
"Nate, I made the motion up to 30 hours a week," councilor Ralph Schnoebelen said. "No more than 30."
Kasdorf said he didn't want 30 hours a week to become a regular workweek for the employee.
Rogerson said the council needed to trust him when it came to doing things for the city.
"You're going to have to have faith that as a professional administrator, I'm not going to have someone here if they're not needed, and we're not there, so I'd like to withdraw this off of the agenda," Rogerson said.
Councilor Bob Schneider Jr. said that wasn't the case for him.
"I don't think you're sitting out here trying to spend the city's money foolishly," Schneider said. "I think you're trying to fill a need here to get things done."
Schneider also reminded the council it would take 30 hours for a while to get the new employee trained.
"I'd have to go back to the minutes where you approved the advertisement (for the position) because there was considerable discussion at that meeting about the hours," Rogerson said. "I felt there was a consensus at that meeting, I'll review the minutes, that the average for an entire fiscal year would be 30 hours or less per week."
Mayor Bill Poch said he wasn't opposed to what Rogerson had suggested as far as tabling that item on the agenda. However, he said the motion had been made and seconded, so the council should proceed with the vote.
Councilor Chris Kirkwood said her understanding of the position was that it was supposed to be an average of 20 hours a week, not to exceed 30.
Schneider said the council had recently hired part-time summer help but there weren't applications that the council saw. Kirkwood said the reasoning behind that was because most of the council members knew who this applicant was and had input on that decision.
"Most of you know this person," Rogerson said. "We're just not at the level of trust here that we need to be at to do these kind of things."
Schnoebelen said he couldn't believe where the council's discussion was going. Poch also said there was no need for a monthly report because it was leading to micromanaging from the council.
"Come in and ask," Poch said. "Come in and ask what's going on."
Rogerson said he was free to speak to anyone on the council at any time.
"I don't understand what all the turmoil's about," Schnoebelen said, "because I think you'll use them no more than you need them."
Kirkwood disagreed with Schnoebelen's comment. She said for other city employees, like the city engineer, the council had asked for a detailed report but hadn't received it.
"I don't have time to put it together, just to be honest with you," Rogerson said. "By the time I spend researching things that aren't worth researching for you, I don't have enough hours in the day."
Poch stepped in and asked for a roll call vote. The resolution passed. Kirkwood was the only council member to vote no.
Rogerson said he was confused as to whether or not the council wanted the applications on the next agenda. He also asked if the topic was going to continue on to the next council meeting.
"I'm not confused, because there had been discussion," Poch said. "We continued on. We made some requests during that discussion. We had a vote and the applicant passed."

Speed -vs - Quiet
I bought a new PSE X-Force Treestand bow a couple of weeks ago and it is a super-fast, great shooting bow. However, one of the selling points for me was the fact that they advertise it as a "quiet" bow. When I shot it at the archery shop, it seemed to be a pretty quiet bow. But once I got it home and started shooting it behind the house, I was shocked at how loud the bow seems while shooting. I had been shooting a High Country TSS bow for several years and couldn't believe the differance. I had my wife stand behind me, facing away so she wouldn't know which bow I was shooting and asked her which one was quieter. She said the High Country was considerably quieter than the PSE. I took the bow to the archery shop and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. But to me it is just TO LOUD . I know that speed comes at a price, but I'm not sure that I can get used to the noise. So here is my question: Regardless how fast a bow is, the noise from shooting will get to a deer before the arrow. So which is prefered - a slower, quite bow, or a faster, louder bow ?????

The interior button doesn't open the doors and you cannot set the alarm at all. The dealer was baffled and reset the system.
A week later the car seemed to go into kill mode where the car would not start at all. It has been it the shop for a week now and they are still scratching their heads. My alarm problem has been going on for over a year now.
I seem to have a similar issue with my 2002 bmw 540i. It keeps triggering the alarm then you have to enter a code to deactivate, after you can start the car and all is fine. I have taken it to BMW service 4 times now and we are still looking for the solution. Theyt tried replacing the NAV unit as the dash and Nav screen are on the same ibus connection back to the main computers.
I was wondering if you have found a solution to your problem?

He has accused Sudan of being behind a rebel group who last week attacked the border town of Adre killing 100 people.
But Sudan's foreign minister told the BBC that Sudan's army had fought against Chadian rebels when they refused to disarm or leave Sudan.
Correspondents say the rebels are led by Chadian soldiers who have mutinied against President Deby.
'Aggressive neighbour'
Mr Deby made the comments after talks near Lagos with Nigeria's President Olusegun Obasanjo, who is the current AU chairman, and asked the AU to condemn Sudan.
"I came to complain to the current AU chairman about the continued Sudanese aggression towards Chad," he said
Last week Chad said it was in a "state of war" with Sudan after the attack which Sudan vigorously denies any involvement in.
Chad says that Sudan is backing rebel groups which have recently sprung up in the east of the country and which are blamed for the attack on Adre, which borders Sudan's troubled Darfur region.
It also accuses Sudanese militia of making daily incursions into Chad, stealing cattle, killing innocent people and burning villages on the Chadian border.
"Of course it is not true that Khartoum is trying to destabilise Chad," Sudanese Foreign Minister Lam Akol told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme.
After Chadian rebels crossed into Sudanese territory and refused to disarm, the Sudanese army fought with them, he said.
"This goes a long way to prove that there is no problem being caused to Chad with our border. If they [the rebels] are causing problems within Chad then that is an internal problem and we have nothing to do with it, " he said.
In the past few days the AU has sent a delegation to N'Djamena and Khartoum as part of efforts to reduce the tension between the two countries.
Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir is due to take over the chairmanship of the AU from Mr Obasanjo next month.
On Sunday, the Organisation of the Islamic Conference urged Sudan and Chad to exercise self-restraint to defuse the growing tensions.

2013-14 Creighton Men's Basketball Profiles: Will Artino
We are profiling each member of the 2013-14 Creighton Bluejays men's basketball team. Check in daily leading up to Creighton's regular season opener against Alcorn State Nov. 8 for an introduction to this season's Bluejays, from newcomers to seniors. Check out all the previews here.
Will Artino (#31 / C / 6-11 / 230 lbs / R-Jr.)
It is Will Artino's time. His patience could finally pay off.
Artino, the redshirt junior from Waukee, Iowa, has been patient through his first three seasons on the Hilltop. As a part of Dana Altman's final recruiting class, Artino chose to stay with the Bluejays and new coach Greg McDermott in 2010. He even accepted redshirting that first season, which was probably the best for his future. Over the past two seasons on the court, there have been some flashes of what Artino can do. It is his opportunity now to capitalize on his experience on and off the court.
"Big Swag," as he was dubbed in last year's Bluejay Madness, had a breakout season even with limited minutes behind Gregory Echenique and, at times, Ethan Wragge. Although Artino has averaged only a little over 7 minutes a game as a freshman and almost 8 minutes a game as a sophomore, his soft touch around the basket and his energy made it hard for teams to defend his efficient play. Also, in limited minutes, the high-low post game between he and Doug McDermott has shown to be quite effective. Though a stretch of 17 games over two months last season Artino made the most of his opportunities to score, shooting blistering 84.1% from the field (36-of-43). His play down the stretch last season took some of the pressure off of McDermott when he was down in the post.
Artino has been tested over the last three seasons playing against Echenique in the post every day at practice. That is a grueling experience all by itself. This year with Echenique gone, Artino gets his opportunity to patrol the middle, probably something he didn't necessarily expect to be doing. With a growth spurt before finishing high school, Artino had skills more like a guard or forward before arriving at Creighton. While he still has those skills, his extra exposure to the post makes him tough to guard whether playing high or low. His three years of experience will compliment the veteran team heading into 2013-14.
We caught up with Will at Creighton's Media Day.

We are an Eastern Orthodox church in Vancouver, WA.
We invite you to join us for worship and fellowship!
| about us | location and directions | contact |
Our dear Matushka* Mary was recently diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic lung cancer after a year of suffering from recurring pneumonia, bronchitis, chronic cough, several infections, wheezing and fatigue. While the diagnosis does explain her prolonged illness, it came as a shock to her family, friends and our church community.
Her husband, Fr. Dimitri Perez, has been the pastor of our parish for eleven years, and for all these years, Matushka Mary has been helping him in his ministry, and has been doing a lot of work herself in the church community and beyond.
Matushka Mary is a Licensed Psychologist Associate, specializing in work with children, teens and their families and has a private practice which helps supplement income to support her family, which includes their precious and only son Benjamin.
As of this week, Matushka Mary has temporarily suspended her private practice due to her recent diagnosis, in order to seek treatment and work toward healing. Because the family relies heavily on her income for financial support, we are asking for your generous donation in support of her medical treatment and her family's needs, which will be both numerous and extensive due to insurance not covering all of these needed treatments.
* Matushka means mother in Russian and refers to the title of honor that is used to refer to an Orthodox Priest's wife.
If you wish to donate with a check, please make it payable to "Holy Apostles Orthodox Church", earmark "Mary Perez" and mail to:

In cooperation with the Flanders government, there's a booklet out that treats about "Hoppas", kind of a merge between tapas and hop. You may like this very very mucho. Plenty of ideas and nice pictures, but, it's in flemish and the beers are also from over here. This is the link;
Hey Kiwi, since you're in Victoria, I thought I'd say that VB is one of the best food pairing beers I've ever had.
Goes great with just about anything, so you're lucky to have access to that wonderful beer.
I did a beercan chicken once with Victoria Bitter and it added unreal flavor.
Cat Man
Haha. VB is a terrible beer.
Guinness with a chili cheeseburger...preferrably in a dirty neighborhhod bar that every once in a while, you can see the thumb sized cockroaches making their way up the walls that the beer taps are connected to. If you've ever been to New Orleans, you'll know what I'm talking about. I mean really, after a 15 hour work day in that city, you tend to get used to it because all you want to do is relax with a nice brew and food that you didn't cook yourself.
That sounded really, really tempting until I read the rest.
Yeah, it was pretty gross but after the first year living down there, I got used to it. The whole city is filthy but I did learn a lot.

Making Cordage from Natural Materials
When you're caught in a bind — or at the end of your rope — making cordage is a skill that could come in handy.
You can make a simple wrap by twisting the fibers into a strand. Then, to secure the twist, take the middle in your teeth and bring the two ends together. When you let go, the strand will twist around itself naturally.

Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
I have some information on P0741 I want to share.
Subject: Service Engine Soon (SES) Light On, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0741, Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Excessive Slip, Transaxle Chuggle, Slip/Surge (Inspect/Replace Internal Transaxle Components) #04-07-30-034 - (08/06/2004)
- 1998-2002 Cadillac Eldorado
- 1998-2004 Cadillac Seville
- 1999-2004 Cadillac DeVille
- 2000-2003 Oldsmobile Aurora
- with 4T80-E Auto Transaxle (RPO MH1)
Some customer may comment on the SES light on and a chuggle or surge. Diagnostics may show excessive TCC slip speed and DTC P0741 will be current code stored.
Seal damage may allow the TCC apply fluid to leak into the channel plate, causing excessive TCC slippage under certain conditions, eventually causing no TCC apply.
TCC may have partial apply fluid pressure or no apply fluid pressure. If excessive slip speed is noted and condition/cause cannot be corrected by using DTC P0741 diagnostic chart, suspect worn seals from slippage of the drive sprocket bearing inner race on the drive sprocket.
DO THIS-----Repair the transaxle
DON'T DO THIS-----DO NOT replace the complete transaxle assembly
Follow the diagnostic and repair procedure below to repair this condition.
Remove the transaxle from the vehicle. Refer to the appropriate Service Information for transaxle removal procedure.
Remove the torque converter.
Install the transaxle to holding fixture. Refer to Holding Fixture Installation SI Document ID #513730.
Remove the transaxle side cover, upper valve body and case cover. Refer to the appropriate Unit Repair Information in SI.
Inspect the two case cover seals (34 and 35) for uneven wear patterns.
Inspect the two case cover seals (34 and 35) for uneven wear patterns. The wear patterns will be evident by a uneven wear pattern of the inner diameter white seal surface as shown in the two above illustrations.
Inspect the two case cover seals (34 and 35) for splits/tears and or flat spots.
Inspect the support drive socket (400) for wear on the bearing race.
Inspect the case cover (33) for wear or damage due to the drive sprocket bearing spinning in the bore.
- During the tear down inspection, pay particular attention to seals (34, 35, 409 and 412) for wear or damage.
- Seals (34, 35, 409 and 412) are part of Gasket Kit, P/N 24221398, and do not need to be ordered separately.
- Replace the Torque Converter when servicing a vehicle with this condition.
The Viscous Coupler has an extremely high failure rate when it is allowed to slip out of spec.
- Flush the transaxle cooler with Transflow cooler flushing tool, J 45096. Refer to Service Bulletins:
- Info - Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flush and Flow Test Essential Tool J 45096, TransFlow #02-07-30-052
- Transmission Cooling System Service Tool J 45096 - Transflow Information #03-07-30-002.
Replace only the necessary internal transaxle components per the tear down inspection.
See the parts list below.

Re: Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
A P1860 is a electrical circuit failure!
The PCM run a resistance check on the circuit. The TCC solenoid spec is 10 to 15 ohm's. The PCM controls the Ground side of the circuit. When ignition voltage is applied to the power side of the solenoid the voltage flows through the solenoid and enters the PCM on the control side. The PCM looks at the voltage and compares it to the battery/ignition voltage to determine the resistance of the Solenoid.
If the resistance is high or the circuit is open the PCM won't see enough voltage and this trips the Flag/DTC
P1860 = bad Solenoid
Re: Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
P0741 = Failed Turbine Shaft Seals
A Viscous Coupler (VC) is a sealed unit. A TCC vc has clutch plates and a Silicone fluid in it. When the plates start rotating at two different speeds, the shear effect of the tabs or perforations on the fluid will cause it to heat up and solidify (Silicone when heated will turn into a near solid; the viscosity of dilatant fluids rapidly increases with shear). The fluid in this state will essentially glue the plates together and transmit power from one set of plates to the other. This increases the pressure inside of the sealed drum. If the pressure increases to much it will crack the VC drum.
Now you have bad seals and a bad VC.
This is very common and that is the reason GM states that the Torque Converter must be replaced.
I have seen several tech try to short cut this and not replace the TC. I don't think this has ever worked more that 5 times that I have seen in the last 5 years. They always come back with in a month and the tech has to do it over again.
I will post some pictures of GM's VC used in the TC
Re: Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
As shown in figure 1, the 12.2 inch converter does not include a torque converter clutch. This type of converter is commonly referred to as an "open" converter. The 245 mm and 298 mm are sometimes referred to as a "closed" converter. The terms closed and open refers to the fluid flow through the converter with and without the use of a torque converter clutch (TCC).
Note: The torque converter operation in this book refers to the 245 mm and the 298 mm with the use of a TCC. However, the differences with the 12.2 inch (310 mm) "open" converter are pointed out as appropriate.
The torque converter assembly serves three primary functions. First, the torque converter is a fluid coupling that smoothly transmits engine torque to the transmission gear-train. This fluid coupling also allows the vehicle to stop without stalling the engine. Secondly, it multiplies torque. from the engine to the transmission for additional vehicle performance. Finally, the torque converter assembly provides a mechanical (or direct drive) link from the engine to the transmission with the use of a torque converter clutch (TCC).
A 245 mm or 298 mm "closed" converter has four elements (Fig. 2). This design contains a converter pump assembly (driving member - I), a turbine assembly (driven or output member - F), a clutch pressure plate assembly (C) splined to the turbine to provide direct drive, and a stator assembly (reaction member - G). The converter cover (A) is welded to the pump to seal all four members in a fluid filled housing. The 12.2 inch (310 mm) "open" converter has three elements. This design contains a pump (I), turbine (F), and stator (G), but does not have a clutch pressure plate assembly.
The converter cover (A) is bolted to the engine flex -plate which is bolted directly to the engine crankshaft. Therefore, the converter pump is mechanically connected to the engine and turns at engine speed whenever the engine is operating.
The converter pump (I) acts as a centrifugal pump, picking up fluid at its center and discharging this fluid at its rim between the blades (Fig. 3). It is the force of this fluid from the pump hitting the turbine blades that causes the turbine to rotate. When the engine is idling in gear, the converter pump is not spinning fast and the force of the fluid leaving the pump is not great enough to turn the turbine and move the vehicle. As engine speed increases, fluid force increases and more engine power is transmitted to the gear train. Turbine speed does not reach engine speed until the torque converter clutch (pressure plate) is applied. Thus, there is a small amount of slippage in this fluid coupling between the converter pump and turbine.
The pressure plate (C) is splined to the turbine hub. It applies against the converter cover to provide a mechanical (direct drive) coupling of the engine to the transmission. This mechanical coupling provides a more efficient transfer of engine torque to the drive wheels by eliminating the small amount of slippage that occurs in a fluid coupling. Thus, with the pressure plate (TCC) applied, the turbine assembly turns at engine speed and torque is no longer being multiplied.
To aid in torsional shock during converter clutch apply, a damper assembly (D) is used with the converter clutch pressure plate (C). The spring loaded damper assembly is splined to the converter turbine assembly (F). The converter clutch pressure plate is attached to the pivoting mechanism of the damper assembly. This pivoting action allows the pressure plate to rotate independent of the damper assembly, up to approximately 45 degrees. The rate of independent rotation is controlled by the pivoting mechanism acting on the spring in the damper assembly. The cushioning effect of the damper assembly springs aid in reducing converter clutch apply feel and irregular torque pulses from the engine or road.
The stator (G) is located between the converter pump and turbine and is mounted on a one way roller clutch. The purpose of the stator is to redirect the flow of fluid returning from the turbine to assist the engine in turning the converter pump. This redirection increases the force of the fluid driving the turbine and, as a result, multiplies torque from the engine (Fig. 4). If the fluid from the turbine was not redirected at low vehicle speeds it would impede the rotation of the converter pump.
At low vehicle speeds, when greater torque is needed, fluid from the turbine hits the front side of the stator blades (converter multiplying torque). Because the roller clutch holds the stator from moving in that direction, fluid is redirected from the turbine to assist the engine in turning the converter pump. Fluid from the converter pump then has more force to turn the turbine assembly and multiply engine torque.
As vehicle speed increases, centrifugal force changes the direction of fluid from the turbine. The direction of this fluid is such that it hits the back side of the stator blades (converter at coupling speed). This causes the roller clutch to overrun and allows the stator to rotate freely. Fluid is no longer redirected and engine torque is not being multiplied
As mentioned previously, the torque converter is not 100% efficient (up to a 10% loss) at coupling speed without the TCC applied.
The energy from the engine is wasted by the torque converter in the form of heat. This heat created by the slippage between the converter pump and turbine is the largest source of heat for transmission fluid. Thus, if this energy can be captured, we could increase the fuel economy of the vehicle and also reduce transmission fluid temperature. The torque converter clutch performs this task. The converter clutch functions similar to a standard transmission clutch by mechanically connecting the engine to the transmission. This makes the torque converter 100% efficient, thus increasing fuel economy and reducing transmission fluid temperature. The actual speed at which the TCC applies varies between vehicle applications.
There are three types of pressure plates in the present Hydra-matic converter assemblies. Two of these have spring type torsional dampening and the third has a viscous torsional dampening.
With the spring type damper, (Fig. 2), as the TCC applies, the springs in the damper assembly compress and allow the pressure plate to pivot. The pressure plate is allowed to pivot independently of the turbine to approximately 45 degrees. The spring cushioning effect aids in reducing the converter clutch apply feel.
A poppet style pressure plate is used with diesel engine applications (Fig. 5). With this type of pressure plate the
spring damper uses additional fluid control valves. These valves equalize fluid pressures on both sides of the pressure plate during TCC disengagement. This allows the pressure plate to release quicker and reduce torsional vibrations during deceleration on diesel applications.
The third type of pressure plate is the viscous converter clutch (Fig. 6). The viscous clutch is only used on some HYDRA-MATIC 4T60 and 4T80 transaxles to provide a smoother apply feel. The viscous converter clutch performs the same functions as the conventional converter clutch explained earlier. The primary difference between the converter clutch and the viscous converter clutch is the method of dampening the apply feel. In the viscous clutch the spring damper is replaced by using viscous (thick) silicone fluid sealed between the body and cover of the clutch assembly. This fluid provides a smooth apply of the clutch assembly when it engages with the converter cover.
When the viscous clutch is applied (Fig. 7) the silicone fluid grips the intertwined ridges of the body and rotor of the viscous clutch. With the rotor splined to the turbine hub this forces the turbine to rotate at nearly the same speed as the converter cover. With this viscous apply there is still a minimal amount of slippage between the rotor and body.

Re: Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
Thanks for this most valuable information. I knew of the directive, but did not know the details.
A dealership has my transaxle out right now. I went to look at it yesterday and the O.D. of the drive sprocket is scored and the seals are wiped out. I was hoping to only replace the solonoid. It was in fact the soleniod was toasted to a crisp.
Logan noted in his posts that he in fact felt his solenoid fail and replaced it right away. The tech explained to me that the low control pressure from the leaking internal seals in effect lead to the solenoid failure due to the increased band width imposed on the solenoid. I drove mine about 1,500 mi in this condition.
It will be interesting to see if Logan's repair hangs in there for the long haul. I wish him Luck.
Remember "If you want to drive like a sport, you will pay like a sport"
Re: Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
Both types of Pressure Plate have the clutch lining attached to them.
NOTE this picture is labeled wrong. It is not the cover.
Re: Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
We see a lot of P0741 with a P1860 also.
Sometimes the P1860 has not set, but you touch the burnt solenoid and the end falls off of it.
When the solenoid is new it is grey. When they are burnt they are brown.
Now the reason they burn up. Hmmm. Two thoughts on that. First is the TCC Solenoid cause the P0741. The other is the PCM has to drive the TCC Solenoid harder to compensate for the bad seals. I say it is the second. The side cover may have been machined slightly off center and caused the seals to wear irregularly first.
Re: Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
On a non VC TCC clutch you have a center section (Dampener Assembly) that is similar to one used on Manual Trans Clutch Disc. It uses Tortional Springs
On a VC the center section is a sealed unit/drum that allows for a softer engagement and a large/gross amount of slippage under load. The more it slips the hotter the Viscous fluid gets and this causes it to lock up. It also can cause so much pressure in the VC sealed unit it cracks.
GM stopped using the VC in 4T80E in 2005

Re: Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
I had my 97 Eldorado done by Tranny shop reffered them to GM's Reccomendations. Replaced the Input solenoid, Tc solenoid, TC, the O ring on the gasket on the rear input shaft caused the leak. It seems you just have drop the tranny and look at it. Done for $1698. 931. was for labor. Bad batteris play havoc with these trannys, and Alternators. I also had replace the alternator, because previous ower put in incorrect battery size to small. The battery was also at 50% capacity these trannys are electronic, they need the correct power. I notice immediate improvement, by changing battery, in stering, and driveability of the car. See full post under tc po741
Re: Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
I am very busy with everything especially the house right now, but I have been thinking about a new tune.
I would shut off the TCC, P0741 DTC and set up a Lean Cruise patch that I have to get better fuel mileage. I would have to be very careful not to go too lean because it would take out the Cat. The Lean Cruise patch was running about 16 to 1 afr and we had NO misfires.
Just a thought.
$500 is cheaper than a P0741 repair
Re: Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
.....................BUT, with a TCC disable and running high RPM in 3 at highway speeds, on a lean tune, what would prevent burning plugs and exhaust valves ????
Re: Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
I have several OEM lean Cruise Calibrations for Northstar's
Holden's run them.
http://www.monodax.com/forums/tunerc...an-cruise.htmlA feature of GM's PCM from the factory is called Lean Cruise. It is turned off by default because it is illegal to use due to emissions ...
EFILive has a lot of info on it.
Re: Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
Yeah, but these guys are talking about different engines in different platforms with different transmissions, so how do you adapt the "lean cruise" patch to a 2000 - 2004 N*/4T80E FWD package ???
Re: Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
Driving 65 mph in a 55 mph is illegal and partially for the same reason (Emissions). I am sure you remember those add campaigns telling every one to slow down? You would get X amount of better fuel economy and reduce the emissions out put if you slow down.

Re: Information on P0741 & P1860. 1998+
Where in the transmission are the seals in the pictures located? Are they integral to the torque converter or are they near the turbine shaft or are they on the drive sprocket hub?
I have a '97 STS that the torque converter won't lock up and is this information applicable to that model as well? The title says 1998+

The 2009 vintage was particularly smooth from start to finish. Budbreak arrived on schedule in the spring,
and we saw lower-than-average rainfall. Healthy flowering led to a very even set, with few heat spikes
during the season. Timely veraison and cooler weather later in the season allowed the grapes to ripen
slowly and spend additional time on the vine. Although the end of season was somewhat challenging due
to earlier than usual rainfall, by all accounts the wines show varietal integrity, depth and concentration.
La Crema's location in the Russian River Valley is ideal for producing wines of uncompromising elegance and balance. To achieve this goal, several unique steps take place in getting fruit from the vineyards to the bottle. It begins in the vineyard, where careful canopy management and hand harvesting assure fully ripe, undamaged grapes are brought to the winery. At the winery, Winemaker Melissa Stackhouse uses artisan winemaking techniques to handcraft wines of distinctive flavor, elegance and balance.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. __ A beloved motif in sitcoms and cartoons is the bumbling high school faculty. Teachers, principals and guidance counselors are portrayed as incompetent fools who can hardly help themselves, much less their students. But in Rhode Island, this image is itself divorced from reality. The Ocean State's high schools are on the offense, helping undocumented students navigate the thorny process of applying to college.
Kyleen Carpenter, Head of Blackstone Academy Charter School in Pawtucket, "We get so much information. We're feeding it to the students and their families," says Kyleen Carpenter, Head of Blackstone Academy Charter School in Pawtucket. Since the passage of the in-state tuition policy for undocumented students in 2011, Rhode Island high schools have bombarded undocumented students with information, making clear their education doesn't have to end after high school.
"You will see their faces brighten up. It's a powerful feeling," says Patricia Martinez, Director of the Family Support Center at Central Falls High School. "The fact that their dream is not lost," she says, motivates students to embark on what is already a frightening journey -- frightening, especially, for the undocumented student.
"They're petrified. Their parents say, 'Don't you dare say a word,'" says Lou Toro, Director of Guidance at Classical High School, noting that families typically fear deportation.
To start the conversation with undocumented students, Martinez will say, "I just want to see if I can help you. Where were you born?" Then, what she calls a "more intrusive question: 'What is your status?' Then you will see a blank on their face."
"[We] let them know they're going to be on a different path. It's going to be demoralizing," says Carpenter.
Still, the policy change -- which allows undocumented students to attend state schools at in-state tuition rates -- has inspired a heretofore unseen hope in Rhode Island's young and undocumented community. "We don't have to have these demoralizing and depressing conversations," says Carpenter, one of the several educators who founded Blackstone.
"Kids are aware now. It helps all the way around," says Toro.
Since the policy change, Toro and his fellow educators have worked to ensure that students are aware of the policy and the new opportunities it brings. Toro has worked with the Diocese of Providence (a partnership he says has been quite helpful), while Martinez has invited members of CASO (Coalition of Advocates for Student Opportunities) and the International Institute to her school.
Carpenter views all this as a means of accessing the "vast untapped potential" of students. A state dense with aging Baby Boomers means an aging workforce, and the education of Rhode Island's up-and-coming workers is increasingly being seen as a necessity. Documented or not, Rhode Island needs educated workers for its future.
"Why recruit kids from other states?" says Martinez. "[Students are] not asking for handouts. [They're] just asking to be validated."
Nor is this validation asking much (or anything) of documented Rhode Islanders -- both Carpenter and Martinez note that should they decide to attend college, most students flock to Community College of Rhode Island, an open-door institution.
One Blackstone graduate did just that, Carpenter says, and "[The classes] were really hard. He went and struggled mightily. That was actually a great lesson for all of us." Martinez says only two Central Falls grads are at CCRI full-time.
"Part time?" says Martinez, "Really everyone." She encourages students to take one class. "You could figure out what the next step is," she says.
Toro finds that the policy "opens the doors for students not spending an exuberant amount of money," but many students are still disadvantaged in their access.
Regardless of any lingering cynicism, Rhode Island's educators seem happy to ally themselves with undocumented students on their path to college. Says Carpenter, the policy change was like a "celebration. [Students] could finally access something they could not access before. [It was] this liberation for them."
Far from the nincompoop educators of the silver screen, high school faculty in Rhode Island are working with and for their students, hoping to achieve as much as possible through this policy change.

Executives don't decide how customer-centric their companies are—their customers are the ultimate arbiters. Digital disruptors—a term coined by Forrester describing companies that leverage digital platforms to take advantage of customers' heightened expectations and deliver a more compelling product and service experience at a lower cost—are threatening traditional business models. I will be exploring this challenge and discussing how to establish the right digital agenda on October 18-19 at the upcoming Forrester conference Developing Digital Disruption: A Forum For Application Development & Delivery Professionals.
Our research shows that a good experience impacts customers' behavior in three ways: 1) they are more willing to consider another purchase; 2) they are less likely to switch their business to a competitor; and 3) they are more likely to make a favorable recommendation. But how does that affect a company's bottom line? We estimate that the revenue impact from a 10-percentage-point improvement in a larger service company's performance, as measured by Forrester's Customer Experience Index score, could exceed $1 billion.
During our research, we discovered three customer experience (CX) trends that you can capitalize on:

While you no doubt answered wellness, the reality is that when you look at the typical change programs in a major corporation today, Band-Aids are far more common. But that's hardly surprising given the short-term pressures facing organizations today. Let's reflect on a few examples:
Posted by Clay Richardson on September 13, 2012
Arguably, mobile is currently the hottest trend driving both business and technology strategies for executives. If you need any additional evidence, just look at all of the enterprise buzz Apple has generated with the iPhone 5 launch. Unfortunately, today's business and technology leaders continue to respond to the mobile opportunity with the wrong answers. Business leaders respond to mobile with, "Let's build a really slick mobile app, put it up on iTunes and we're done!" Technologists respond to mobile with, "We need a strong BYOD policy and to put device management tools in place!" Both of these responses completely overlook the fact that underlying legacy applications and business processes need optimizing for the mobile experience.
We run into examples of this "lipstick on a pig" approach to mobile all the time. In fact, I ran into a perfect example of this recently when I needed to order a pizza for my family after a very hectic Saturday afternoon. When I picked up my mobile phone to call the pizza delivery place, a light bulb went off over my head. Instead of dialing the pizza delivery company and waiting on hold for 15 minutes, why not download its mobile app in two minutes and order my pizza within another two minutes. I figured I could shave off ten minutes of wait time by simply downloading the pizza delivery company's mobile app.

I recently finished reading Moneyball, the Michael Lewis bestseller and slightly above-average Hollywood movie. It struck me how great baseball minds could be so off in their focus on the right metrics to win baseball games. And by now you know the story — paying too much for high batting averages with insufficient focus where it counts —metrics that correlate with scoring runs, like on-base percentage. Not nearly as dramatic — but business is having its own "Moneyball" experience with way too much focus on traditional metrics like productivity and quality and not enough on customer experience and, most importantly, agility.
Agility is the ability to execute change without sacrificing customer experience, quality, and productivity and is "the" struggle for mature enterprises and what makes them most vulnerable to digital disruption. Enterprises routinely cite the incredible length of time to get almost any change made. I've worked at large companies and it's just assumed that things move slowly, bureaucratically, and inefficiently. But why do so many just accept this? For one thing, poor agility undermines the value of other collected BPM metrics. Strong customer experience metrics are useless if you can't respond to them in a timely manner, and so is enhanced productivity if it only results in producing out-of-date products or services faster.
Posted by Alex Cullen on September 1, 2012
The pace of business change is accelerating. The reason why it is accelerating is the mushrooming of disruptive factors: your customers expecting anytime/everywhere access to you through their mobile devices, competitors leveraging big data technology to rapidly execute on customer-centric value propositions, and new market entrants with lean business models that enable them to outmaneuver your business.
Most companies deal poorly with disruptive change. If they are the "disruptor," seeking to use these disruptive factors to steal market share, they often run without a plan and only after, for example, a poor mobile app customer experience, realize what they should have changed. If they are the firm being disrupted, the desire for a fast response leads to knee-jerk reactions and a thin veneer of new technology on a fossilized back-office business model.
This is where the value of business architects and business process professionals comes to play: you help your company plan and execute coherent responses to disruptive factors. That's why your company needs you to attend Forrester's Business Architecture & Process Forum: Embracing Digital Disruption in London on October 4 and Orlando, FL on October 18–19, 2012.

The Pirates Bench Shows the Real Problem With This Team, and It's Not the Bench
The Pittsburgh Pirates have a horrible bench right now. That includes Michael Martinez, Brent Morel, and Jayson Nix. Morel has a .372 OPS, Nix has a .284 OPS, and Martinez has a .363 OPS. Some of those guys have even been getting starts, due to various struggles and injuries the Pirates have seen.
The Pirates have had some problems lately, leading to a 7-10 record in August, and a recent six game losing streak. The bench illustrates this problem, although it's not as simple as "they've got a bad bench." The problem can be seen when you ask "why do they have a bad bench?"
Brent Morel was recently added to the team as an extra bat when Charlie Morton went on the disabled list. It's unlikely that Morel will remain on the team when Gerrit Cole returns tomorrow, giving the Pirates a full ...

Fund-raiser for Dar tal-Providenza
Dar tal-Providenza, the home for people with disabilities in Siggiewi, will hold its annual fund-raising marathon on New Year's Day.
The activity, this year called Festa ta' Generosita' (Feast of Generosity) will be centred around an Open Day of some of the facilities of the Home.
Fr Martin Micallef, Director of the Home, said visitors will be able to meet the residents, enjoy a varied programme of entertainment and make their donations.
Dar tal-Providenza is the home of 98 persons with mental or physical disabilities who can no longer live with their families.
The Home also another two smaller homes - in Siggiewi and Qawra - for residents who can look after themselves with some help.
Dar tal-Providenza also offers respite service to members of families with persons with disability.
Fr Micallef thanked couples who over the past year opted to send donations to the Home instead of producing wedding souvenirs. €15,000 was raised for the Home by thirty-three couples through this wedding souvenirs scheme.
The January 1 activity is being coordinated by Radio RTK. Activities kick off at 9 a.m. with Mass .
The entertainment will feature Freddie Portelli, Ira Losco, Hooligan, J Anvil and Fr Karm Debattista, among others. There will also be an auction of art works. Seventy local and foreign artists have donated one or more pieces of art to be auctioned including a sculpture in bronze by the late Anton Agius. These works of art will be displayed at the Mdina Cathedral Museum between December 19 and 27.
The auction will be held online at http://www.dartalprovidenzaauctions.com/" href="http://www.dartalprovidenzaauctions.com/">www.dartalprovidenzaauctions.com. On New Year's Day there will also be the possibility to bid by phone or by visiting Id-Dar tal-Providenza in person. One can view a catalogue on http://www.dartalprovidenza.org/" href="http://www.dartalprovidenza.org/">www.dartalprovidenza.org
In order to avoid congestion of traffic, a Park & Ride service is being made available from Triq San Niklaw (the old airfield) to and from id-Dar tal-Providenza. This service will operate between 2.00pm and 10.00pm.

Richard The First
Sometimes, when reading a piece by an art critic, I get the impression it's less about describing the art and more of a global conspiracy to win at art critic bingo. That's right, if you can use the words "subsume," "metaphysical," "fetishistic," "disaffection" and "melancholic" in one paragraph...bingo. Understandably, it's sometimes difficult to find the words to describe something that is so inherently subjective, and it's easy to run to a thesaurus for help. Richard Patterson's art, for example, leaves me searching for words to describe photo-realistic paintings of toy army men, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, Spice Girls and iconic moments in film. What I want to say is that Patterson plays with notions of how superficiality is now inextricably linked with Western cultural traditions and hero-making, but that would put me squarely on the bingo card, I'm thinking. If I leave out the 50-cent words, it boils down to the fact that Patterson's experiments with irony have earned him a reputation as one of Great Britain's most exciting contemporary artists, making his solo show at the Goss-Michael Foundation, 2500 Cedar Springs Road, a must-see for anyone seeking to add to their art vocabulary. Richard Patterson runs from Friday through April 30. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Mondays by appointment only.
