Body Art: {Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present} (2012)
Film: Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present
Walker Art Center, Minneapolis
20-22 July 2012
Press release text by Walker Art Center
Committed, fearless, and outrageous, Marina Abramović has been redefining what art is for nearly forty years. Using her body as a vehicle, pushing beyond physical and mental limits, and at times risking her life, she creates performances that challenge, shock, and move us. In 2010, she made her grandest and perhaps most personal statement yet with a 730-hour performance as part of her monumental retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).
The documentary film Marina Abramović: The Artist Is Present takes us inside Abramović's world as she prepares for the retrospective, one of the most ambitious exhibitions of performance art ever mounted. The Walker presents the regional premiere of the film, with screenings on Friday, July 20 at 7:30 pm, Saturday, July 21 at 3 and 7:30 pm, and Sunday, July 22 at 3 pm. [...]
The film, directed by Matthew Akers, is a mesmerizing cinematic journey inside the world of radical performance, and an intimate portrait of one of the most compelling artists of our time— a charismatic woman "who is never not performing," as the artist's longtime friend and MoMA curator Klaus Biesenbach puts it. It also offers fascinating insights into the recent evolution of performance art: its relatively recent move into museum galleries, and Abramović's campaign to preserve a transient art form through live re-performances. 2012, DCP, 106 minutes.
About Marina Abramović
Marina Abramović, born in 1946 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, is one of the seminal artists of our time. Since the beginning of her career in Yugoslavia during the early 1970s where she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade, Abramović has pioneered the use of performance as a visual art form. The body has always been both her subject and medium. Exploring the physical and mental limits of her being, she has withstood pain, exhaustion, and danger in the quest for emotional and spiritual transformation. Abramović's concern is with creating works that ritualize the simple actions of everyday life like lying, sitting, dreaming, and thinking— in effect the manifestation of a unique mental state. As a vital member of the generation of pioneering performance artists that includes Bruce Nauman, Vito Acconci, and Chris Burden, Abramović created some of the most historic early performance pieces and is the only one still making important durational works.
She was awarded the Golden Lion for Best Artist at the 1997 Venice Biennale for her extraordinary video installation/performance piece Balkan Baroque' and in 2003 received the Bessie for The House with the Ocean View' a 12-day performance at Sean Kelly Gallery, New York.

Born in Ghent, Rogge is an orthopedic surgeon by profession. Rogge was educated at the University of Ghent. He competed in yachting in the 1968, 1972 and 1976 Summer Olympics, and played on the Belgian national rugby union team. Rogge served as president of the Belgian Olympic Committee from 1989 to 1992, and as president of the European Olympic Committees from 1989 to 2001. He became a member of the IOC in 1991 and joined the Executive Board in 1998. He was knighted and was elevated to Count by H.M. King Albert II of Belgium. In his free time, Rogge is known to admire modern art, and is an avid reader of historical and scientific literature.
Rogge was elected as president of the IOC on July 16, 2001 at the 112th IOC Session in Moscow as the successor to Juan Antonio Samaranch, who had led the IOC since 1980.
Under his leadership, the IOC aims to create more possibilities for developing countries to bid on and host the Olympic Games. Rogge believes that this vision can be achieved in the not too distant future through government backing and new IOC policies that constrain the size, complexity and cost of hosting the Olympic Games.
At the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Rogge became the first IOC President to stay in the Olympic village, to enjoy closer contact with the athletes. He also acted decisively in handling the judging and doping scandals. As a result, the first Olympic games under Rogge's presidency were hailed by many critics as a new era in the Olympic Movement, as it sent a message that the IOC would not tolerate corruption. All three Olympic Games that Rogge has presided over have begun with athletes taking an oath against doping.
Under his term, baseball and softball have been removed from the Olympic Programme. The decision was approved at the IOC Session in July 2005 in Singapore and will be in force for the London 2012 Summer Olympics. However, Rogge stated at the time of the decision that both sports would be eligible to win back their place in future Olympic Games.
In February 2008, Rogge responded to questions by journalists regarding U.S. director Steven Spielberg's withdrawal from the position of artistic advisor for the Beijing Olympics due to Spielberg's position on Chinese involvement in the Darfur crisis. "Spielberg's absence will not harm the quality of the Games. The Beijing Games are much stronger than individuals." He declared that the IOC is "a sporting, not a political, association.", and that "one should not call on the IOC to solve the world's problems.". Two months later, on April 7, 2008, Rogge stated in Beijing that he was "very concerned" about the 2008 Tibetan unrest, but downplayed talk of a boycott of the 2008 Summer Olympics.Speaking to reporters in Beijing, Rogge said, on April 10, 2008, he was nonetheless "saddened" by the protests in San Francisco. "The Games are about generosity," Rogge said. "We have 120 days to achieve this."

As you may or may not know, my goal for 2014 is to choose different things to do in and around Waupaca County, and not just to blog about them. So my adventure of choice for the month of February was to try my luck (and I use the term loosely) at cross country skiing. We do have some of the loveliest spots to cross country ski here in Waupaca County, one of them being the Iola Winter Sports Club. For those of you that are not familiar with Iola, Wisconsin; it is steeped in Nordic history and have become one of the communities in Waupaca County that has embraced their history from Vidar of Iola, the wooden viking statue that stands proudly to Lutefisk suppers, Iola is a charming community full of people that are proud of their Nordic heritage. So it is in this place that we find ourselves today. As we pull up to the Winter Sports Club and walk into the Chalet, we are greeted by two of the many volunteers that man the Chalet. Ann, Diana and I let them know that this is our first time skiing and they get us outfitted with ski boots, poles and skis. Once we have the boots on and the rest of our gear, we head outside to get a quick run down of how to put the skis on and get the poles, stick to the tracks and a bit of trail etiquette,and we're off. As Ann, Diana and I are getting the hang of "sliding" on the skis, (and for myself I really am using the term loosely) we face a choice, whether to go to the left or to the right. Diana wisely informs me that "they said to stay to the left" and of course what do I say? You guessed it, oh let's just keep to the right, that hill doesn't look that bad. Never judge a book by its cover is wisdom, even when deciding, which trail to take when cross country skiing, because just let me say there were more after that, and no I am not talking mountains, however when you are out for the first time, probably a bit more then you want to contend with right away. I have to say Diana was a natural, she picked up the whole gliding, sliding motion really quickly. Ann, did really well, she and I did take off our ski's at one point and walk a bit and even when she was out of sight and all I could hear was a lengthy scream, she stayed standing and on her skis. They are both so much fun and a joy to be around. Last but certainly not least is me, I did enjoy the cross country skiing, but have to admit that I might of spent as much time perfecting the art of falling (and perfecting is in the eye of the beholder) as I did on the skis. It really doesn't matter from my standpoint, if you fall backwards, forward or to the side, I must say I found all of them equally humbling. The upside of it was, I really knew how to get those ski's on and off by the end of the trail.
We have had guests at our Inn that have come simply for the outdoors in winter, and some have chosen the cross country skiing at the Iola Winter Sports Club with 8 miles of trails, and 4 1/2 miles which are lit for night skiing it is a beautiful place to see and be a part of even if on a sunny albeit windy day in February. We were told that the conditions were "challenging" today, because of the past few days of weather. It was fun to be outdoors, with friends and trying something I had never done before. Not quite sure what next month will bring, but you will see it here as we learn together more about Waupaca County and the many things there are to experience.
And to quote Don Pardo the voice of the sports bloopers segment on the Today Show…."Until next time……if there is a next time"!
Diana up on her ski's and yours truly on the ground, and Ann bringing up the rear with the camera, love it!

Buy Property: AmeriCan Multifamily Alliance Group targets multifamily properties based upon 40 plus years of combined experience. Our teams past and present direct combined ownership of over $50 Million dollars' worth of Real Estate and current ownership of 818 multifamily units and counting in the Texas market. Our team currently owns property in Canada and the United States in a few key markets outside of Texas and are minority owners in other businesses as well. Our history as successful business owners has given us clear insights for what is needed to succeed in the Texas marketplace. Our Approach is extremely critical to achieve the results we desire. We have provided some highlights below to provide a clear insight to our approach. We buy properties with special attention to the following:
- Well located
- Poorly Managed
- Under Valued
- Distressed
- Bank owned
- Less than 50% of replacement costs
Repair/Upgrade/Re-Tenant/Self-Manage: Contractors our in house team of professionals are in place for AmeriCan Multifamily Alliance Group to perform the necessary repairs and upgrades. Simultaneously we replace the current management team with our existing experienced workforce. Our model and strategy of "Self-Management" will quickly begin the process of removal of unqualified tenants and regain trust with desirable residents.
Effective Marketing and Management:AmeriCan Multifamily Alliance Group throughout the years has identified, developed, and utilized our propriety systems for marketing and management. The economic occupancy for the Dallas market is about 90% while our occupancy through self-management has been in the mid to upper 90's.
Stabilization and Permanent Financing: AmeriCan Multifamily Alliance Group begins the refinancing process after the property has obtained an occupancy rate of 90% for 90 days, the financials are in order, and capital improvements have been completed. Our stabilization process is projected at 3 to 6 months and the permanent financing follows. The time of initial investment to the cash out refinance is projected at 18 to 24 months.
Return Investor Capital: Our projections show a return of Investor capital after the cash out refinance. Our investors will receive most of their initial capital on a pro rata basis. Investors must be accredited investors and our operating agreement clearly states the investors' equity position and the projected returns.
Investors remain Equity Owners: A very uncommon and unique opportunity AmeriCan Multifamily Alliance Group provides our investors is the right to remain in the deal after all or part of the initial investment capital has been returned. Most Multifamily Investment Groups only allow equity while investment capital is involved in the deal. We are unique and do not change the equity participation once the initial investment is made.
Dallas, Texas Celebration upon our successful completion of the Refinance. This is a big milestone that identifies a key element of success. The return of investment capital creates the opportunity to use the returned capital for another use. This will provide a great way for us to share what was involved in the process and give you a better understanding of the project and what lies ahead. Plus, it's a great way for all of us to celebrate together!!

Editorial: EPA's war on consumers, affordable electricity and jobs (The Hill)
From The Hill Newspaper: "EPA's war on consumers, affordable electricity and jobs"
By Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-Pa.)
October 19, 2012
Over the past year, we've heard a lot about the Obama Administration's 'War on Coal'. The White House has been quick to dismiss the notion, pointing to their "all-of-the-above" energy policy. They've attributed the demise of coal-fired power in part to the record-low prices of natural gas. While most agree that the coal industry has faced challenges, especially under current economic conditions, the argument that people are shutting down coal power plants because gas is cheaper just doesn't hold water.
Why? Coal is by far the cheapest source of electricity. So if cost isn't the reason, what is?
Since 2009, President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has advanced a series of major environmental regulations, totaling billions in new operating costs and compliance requirements, which are making it increasingly harder for coal to compete. To be fair, several of EPA's regulations have been under consideration for more than a decade, while others have been compelled by court order. Regardless of origin, the majority of the regulations are unprecedented in scope and cost.
Nationally, 175 coal-fired power plants are scheduled to be shut down from 2012 to 2016, according to an analysis by the non-partisan U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Industry experts predict that over a similar time frame these closures could threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs. According to a 2011 study by the National Economic Research Associates, two of the proposed EPA regulations could lead to a net employment loss of almost 60,000 jobs in Pennsylvania between now and 2020. The same report showed that Pennsylvania could witness average electricity prices increase by as much as 17%.
Look no further than the Fifth Congressional District of Pennsylvania, where we've lost numerous coal facilities in just the last nine months, to witness the real-world impact of EPA's regulatory onslaught. In February, GenOn Energy, which has about 80 employees in Clearfield County, announced plans to close its Shawville plant in 2015, which means a loss of 100-200 related jobs over the next few years. In August, Joy Mining, the largest private sector employer in Venango County, began several rounds of layoffs in Franklin. Most recently, in September, Alpha Natural Resources announced 1,200 layoffs in numerous states, including one facility in Jefferson County and several others across Pennsylvania.
Coal remains the nation's principal source of electrical power generation for one simple reason: low cost. In terms of real dollars per unit of energy, the cost of generating electricity from coal is a fraction of the cost of producing it from any other energy source. Coal provides almost 40% of electric power generation nationally, and an even greater share, 44%, here in the Commonwealth.
The recent boom in shale gas production has led to an oversupply of natural gas and consequently lower prices. As a result, it has increased from 19% to 25% over the last decade as a percentage of the nation's total electricity generation. Despite its growth, natural gas as a substitute for coal brings numerous challenges from infrastructure and transmission to storage and pipeline capacity. These challenges must be addressed before natural gas can become the dominant feedstock for power generation. With no doubt, natural gas has helped diversify our nation's energy portfolio, which will remain critical in the years ahead, but it is in no position to displace coal any time soon.
Figures from the EIA show that electricity demand domestically and globally will increase over the next several decades. What some fail to recognize – or worse, refuse to admit – is that for decades to come coal will remain an indispensable source of power if we are to meet this demand.
It's unfortunate that the Obama Administration fails to comprehend the serious challenges we face when it comes to meeting the nation's demand for affordable and reliable electricity, and has grossly underestimated the cumulative impact of its regulatory actions. Attempts to cloak it with "all-of-the-above" propaganda fail to meet the smell test.
In 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama, in forecasting his administration's policy on coal, stated the following: "So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them." Since taking office, the president and his administration have moved forward with this plan. It's an agenda to eliminate coal as a source of power, with no clear plan to replace it or the growing number of jobs being lost in its wake.
Make no mistake; there is a war on coal. It's also a war on consumers, affordable electricity, and American jobs.

Long Island rotisserie chicken with a Latin spin
The hottest rotisserie chicken on Long Island has a decidedly Latin spin. Golden brown and savory to the bone, these spit-roasted birds are a source of patriotic pride to those with roots in South America.
Anaconda Latin Fusion Bistro
Anaconda Latin Fusion Bistro, Huntington Station: Commanding center stage at this restaurant is the Peruvian chicken, which comes off the wood-and/or charcoal-fired rotisserie, crisp-skinned, juicy and savory to the bone.
Cuzco Peru
Cuzco Peru, Lynbrook: The bird here does Cuzco Peru proud, made from a secret recipe of owner Alex Torres. Get it whole or as a quarter piece, with salad and a side dish (sweet plantains are especially good). There also are family-style dinner combos.
Gallo Restaurant
Gallo, Patchogue (Colombian): The juicy, bronze-skinned chicken is marinated in a combination of garlic, spices and citrus juice. Have it with owner David Bustamente's signature avocado jalapeño sauce that's kept in a jar on every table.
Pollos El Paisa
Pollos El Paisa, Westbury: A popular standby for its namesake dish, the "national chicken" of Colombia, this bright little eatery showcases birds bronzing on spits in the glass-front ovens behind the counter. Every bite is permeated with flavor.
Pollos Mario
Pollos Mario, Brentwood and Hempstead: Juicy and flavorful, the chicken at this colorful restaurant has crisp, scarlet skin. Spicy green sauce is served on the side.
Chicken Coop
Chicken Coop, Valley Stream (Colombian): The namesake bird at this well-appointed dining spot is moist, highly seasoned, delectable.
Fax-Chix, Farmingville (Portuguese-Mexican): Although technically not rotisserie-roasted, the delicious marinated bone-in grilled chicken at this Portuguese-Mexican takeout and bar is the stuff of Long Island legend. The recipe belongs to owner Clara Martins, whose heritage is Portuguese.
Millennium Chicken III
Millennium Chicken III, Hicksville (Peruvian): This is the third such Long Island enterprise (other Millennium Chickens are in Elmont and Valley Stream) from restaurateur Nury Borbon, who was born in Puerto Rico but whose father hails from Peru. It's Borbon's marinade — an invention made with lots of garlic — that's used for the restaurant's signature rotisserie chicken — bronze, juicy, flavorsome to the bone.
Sabor A Colombia
Sabor A Colombia, Levittown (Colombian): At this colorful spot, bronze skin overlays moist meat infused with savory juices.
Mochika, Glen Cove (Peruvian): At this comfortable storefront restaurant, the deeply flavorful copper-skinned bird is so moist that the white meat is almost as juicy as the dark.
Chicken's Road
Rotisserie chicken with arepitas (mini corn cakes) and fried plantains at Chicken's Road in Bellmore
Mi Tierrita
Mi Tierrita, Brentwood, Hempstead and Patchogue (Colombian): In the window of this bright restaurant, dozens of birds spin on a rotisserie. They taste as good as they look.
Los Andes Restaurant
Los Andes, Deer Park and Patchogue (Peruvian): At this full-service restaurant, a nuanced and savory marinade penetrates every fiber of the chicken meat.
Golden Chicken Peruvian Cuisine
Golden Chicken, Bay Shore: The namesake rotisserie chicken is burnished gold and spice-infused throughout. If you order the No. 1 family-style whole rotisserie chicken combo, geared to feed about four for $22, you'll also get an avocado salad and salchipapas, a curiously compelling Peruvian specialty of French fries topped with sliced South American hot dogs.

You've got questions? They've got answers! Oh, snap-The ladies of Misschief Films are here to help. Answering questions this month: Leanne Pelosi and Sylvia Mittermuller.
I'm graduating high school next year and have to start applying for colleges soon. I'm torn, though, because I love snowboarding, but I don't want to be 30 years old and have never gone to school. Is there a way to do both? Did any of you go to college or have you ever considered doing it when you're done being pro?
Hey Rita,
You can definitely do both. I went in for the long haul right at seventeen and did five and a half years of university straight-then moved to Whistler afterward. My parents refused to let me make the move until after I finished my degree, so I joined the snowboard club in college and was an avid weekend warrior-yeah! It was good, but I was still learning 360s at that time.
If I were you and wanted to fully commit to snowboarding, I'd go to school in the fall, take the winters off, then return for the spring and summer terms. This way you'll get your school and snowboarding done in the same amount of time as all your high school friends. Best of both worlds really. I have a bunch of friends who are on that program in Whistler, and it works out. You can even try correspondence courses … but in my opinion, that's the hardest route. School is always there for you, even if you decide to snowboard 'til you're 80-but you'll definitely want to attend when you're younger so that you can enjoy the full university experience (hot guys your age). Good luck!
I've been doing some regional contests at my home mountain, and I was wondering, are girls' competitions different from guys' comps on the pro level? Like, are girls more or less competitive or supportive of each other? Or is it pretty much the same?
Hi Mason!
I'd say it absolutely depends on what level of competition you're riding at. When I started competing in little national pipe contests back in Germany, I had a pretty hard time. The older girls weren't very nice to me-bad looks, people whispering behind my back, people happy when I fell. It sucked. Later I realized they were just scared of the younger upcoming riders. However, once I made it past this local level, it all got friendlier and better. Everyone knows each other and their riding, and instead of feeling like this little girl who's trying to prove herself in a big scary snowboard world, I started feeling like a part of something good that was constantly improving. Girls who are confident about their riding are normally not jealous-they respect people who can do stuff they can't yet do themselves. Most girls are friends on the international-level slopestyle contests I compete in, and everyone is stoked to see good riding-it motivates people to push their own level a bit further.
As for guys' contests, I'm not a guy myself, but I heard that they think girls seem more supportive than guys, mainly because we know each other better. There're way more guys competing on every ability level, and that creates a more competitive atmosphere. I don't know if there's really any difference. I think it really depends on the kind of contest you do, the format, the setup, the importance of the event, and even stuff like the weather and conditions. A real jam session in sunshine will always be an easier contest than some best-of-two-runs final at 4:00 p.m. on icy big jumps with 20,000 dollars prize money-no matter if you're a girl or guy!
Win a free copy of Misschief's … As If! The best letter from each month's Truth Or Dare will receive a DVD of the Misschief girls getting wicked. You want a piece of this? Send questions to the ladies at email@example.com, and make sure to include a return e-mail address.

Lipscomb coach Kristin Ryman admits that may not be all that fair to Kiihnl that the expectations are so high for the sophomore right-hander even though she has four no-hitters, including one perfect game. She has thrown four one-hitters and four two-hitters.
"Whitney has been so good all season sometimes we take for granted the numbers that she has put up," Ryman said.
Ryman is also encouraged by the complete game performance by senior Alaina Jacobson, 2-3, 3.38 earned run average, Wednesday night in a 3-0 win over Tennessee State. Coupled with the success of senior Christen Campbell, 8-2, 1.17 ERA, the Lady Bisons have a strong trio of arms.
"We got a good performance out of Alaina and that is a key for us going into the second half of conference play," Ryman said. "Alaina and Christen have proven they can do well. We will continue to use a combination of pitchers."
Kiihnl, 20-2, opened the week first in the nation in hits allowed per seven innings (2.04). She is second in earned run average (.64) and fifth in shutouts with 9. She is eighth in wins (19) and 12th in strikeouts per seven innings (10.8). She is 13th in strikeouts overall with 201.
In the A-Sun Kiihnl is first in opposing batting average (.089) and second in wins (20) and earned run average (.63).
She also leads the conference in hitting with a .402 average.
This weekend Kiihnl will be counted on heavily as the Lady Bisons, 31-7, 8-0 in the A-Sun, go on the road to Georgia to face Mercer in Macon and Kennesaw State in Kennesaw. The Mercer doubleheader begins Friday at 3 p.m. The Kennesaw twin bill is scheduled to start Saturday at 1.
"We are definitely going to rely on Whitney a lot this weekend," Ryman said. "She didn't throw a lot Wednesday, but was good enough to get the win in game on against Tennessee State. She has Thursday and most of the day Friday to rest before we play.
"It will be another good test for her. But I think we play well behind her. We have been putting up runs for all of our pitchers this year. If we can continue to do that I feel pretty confident."
Jenni Holtz is 12-11 for Mercer with a 2.22 ERA. Kari Chambers is 5-3, with a 2.08 ERA. Mercer is 19-19, 1-3 in the conference.
"Mercer is pitching well," Ryman said. "Jenny Holtz is one of the best pitchers in our conference. She beat us a couple of times last year. Anytime she is on the mound she is going to present some problems. And their No. 2 pitcher, Chambers, has done a good job for them as well this year.
"It seems like every weekend we see good pitching in our conference. Their defense is pretty strong. And they have some players throughout their lineup that have done well against us."
Kennesaw State, 17-16, 3-3 in the A-Sun, has benefited from the return of Jessica Cross who was injured last year. Cross is 10-4 with a 1.47 ERA. She leads the Lady Owls with nine home runs and 28 runs batted in. Kennesaw State is 10-1 on its home field.
"She is really pitching well for them and is one of their better power hitters," Ryman said. "They are probably as good a hitting team as anybody in our conference. We are not going to get any breaks.
"The small, little details we talk about all of the time are really going to come into play this weekend. Kennesaw presents problems because they are going to put runners on base and keep the pressure on."

Baths: 5; ½ Baths: 1
Camden Real Estate Company
(207) 236-6171
My integrity is based on the fact that I'm genuine and forthright. In a small town your credibility has a way of following you. Everything I do comes from a place of honesty and that means honoring myself; this is something I learned early in life from my father.
I have built Camden Real Estate on a higher level of service. I look at real estate in a different way than most people do. I want to know you and what you're about, so then I have a better understanding of what your aim is in the sale or purchase of a property.
I'm about welcoming new people to this great area, keeping people happy, working with friends, and making Camden Real Estate the best place to work.
One of our core values at Camden Real Estate is enjoyment, not just having a good time, but about enjoying what you do, where you work, and the people you interact with on a daily basis.
When I came to Maine I was awed by its natural beauty first, and then by the diversity of the people I met here. One of my commitments from the beginning has been doing what I can to support local organizations that keep this area beautiful and diverse.
I've spent my whole life around houses, my father is an architect and still practicing at 85 and my mother was an artist. Growing up they always encouraged us to look at things in a different light. That's why when I look at a property, I see it as it is, and as something else, all at the same time. This is vision, it's the way I run my whole business, there's always more than one way to see things and you can get new ideas from every situation.
I've raised two children in Camden as a single father. Now I live in Hope with my wife Robin at Home Place Farm. Robin has a fresh-cut flower business; I keep bees, and we maintain 25 acres of blueberry fields. In my free time I like working in stained glass, or walking the hills with Robin, but our greatest joy comes from our three children and three granddaughters.

In a report last week from an international team of scientists lead by Dr. Alison Murray of the Desert Research Institute, there is a significant difference between the marine microbial communities of the seemingly similar Arctic and Antarctic oceans. These two areas are as geographically far apart as can be, yet share very similar environmental features. Together they offer a unique opportunity to gain insight on the factors that effect biodiversity and biogeography. Put more simply, we have a better idea of what lives in these similar areas, and why.
This study focused on differences in bacterioplankton diversity, between the two regions. They found that 78% of the microbial population in the Antarctic Ocean was genetically unique to itself while the Arctic has a 70% unique microbial population. The team of scientists posits that these similar but markedly different areas may exhibit such different microbial biodiversity because of differences in fresh water sourcing between the two areas. In the Southern Ocean, glacial melt-water accounts for most of the fresh water that flows into the marine system. In the Arctic, there is some glacial melt water but also fresh water river systems with huge drainage basins that deposit fresh water into the system.
Dr. Murray and her team specifically compared samples from coastal and open oceans and between winter and summer seasons. These factors allow the scientists to investigate and compare how environmental conditions and dispersal patterns may shape the two polar marine microbial communities.
As Dr. Murray points out, now that they've identified that there is such a difference in the microbial populations of these two zones, "further research is still needed to address the ecological and evolutionary processes that underlie these unique patterns."
This brings to mind the fact that the polar regions are more sensitive than the rest of the planet to the earth's increasing levels of CO2. It would be interesting to see how microbial populations in the polar regions may change over time, and whether that change can be linked to increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere.

First the Arizona Cardinals make the Super Bowl, and now the city of Glendale, Arizona will host wrestling's version of the Big Game next year -- WrestleMania XXVI.
The City of Glendale, Ariz., Global Spectrum and World Wrestling Entertainment announced today that WrestleMania XXVI will be at the University of Phoenix Stadium on Sunday, March 28, 2010.
Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs, Arizona Cardinals' coach Ken Whisenhunt and University of Phoenix Stadium general manager Peter Sullivan joined Vince McMahon and several WWE superstars in making the announcement at the stadium.
The WWE press release with the announcement was typically boastful:
"WWE�s annual pop-culture extravaganza is a coveted event for any major city. The pay-per-view event will be televised to more than 100 countries. WrestleMania XXIV pumped $50 million into the local Orlando economy in 2008 and set the Citrus Bowl attendance record with 74,635 fans from all 50 states, five Canadian provinces and 21 countries," it read.
The Fan Axxess show, WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, a WrestleManiArt exhibition and a WrestleMania "Rocks the Block" street party are mentioned in the press release. Monday Night Raw will also be televised from the same market the day after WrestleMania.
The University of Phoenix stadium was chosen after a year long bid process. This marks the first time the Glendale/Phoenix area has hosted WrestleMania. The last time WrestleMania was that far west was WrestleMania 21 in Los Angeles.

According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, there are 24 million young migrants (age group 15-24) globally. Despite their numerical significance and the effort to make migration an integral component of poverty reduction strategies, young migrants often remain underrepresented in international migration policy and debate, reducing de facto their potential contributions to social and economic development. Among other challenges youth migrants face, health constitutes a particular area that must be addressed in a comprehensive and coordinated manner.
Several studies demonstrate how overtime migrants in host societies, after an initial period of general improvement to their health condition known as "migrant health effect", become more vulnerable to a vast array of health risks including inter alia reproductive health related issues, psycho-social affects particular to their age, sexually transmitted diseases, substance abuse and eating disorders. These risks are often exacerbated by poverty, social exclusion and limited access to social security benefits.
Recognizing these shortcomings, this briefing, set in the context of the International Year of Youth (August 2010-August 2011) and the outcome of the 2010 World Youth Conference (Guanajuato Declaration), will shed light on the data gaps concerning migrant youth and assess the relevant health risks for this specific category of migrants. Further, it will evaluate the progress and setbacks at the international, national and local level in promoting coordinated migrant health policies and programmes aimed at pursuing the highest attainable level of physical and mental health of youth migrants.

raw, ready to use pizza dough
12 oz (canned or jarred but not marinated) artichoke hearts, sliced thinly
2 oz olive spread*
2 oz grated Parmesan
1/4 lb shredded mozzarella
1/4 lb lean capicola
1/4 lb soppressata
1/4 lb Genoa salami
1/4 lb prosciutto
1/4 lb provolone
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water
ice cubes
Preheat oven to 375. In a small bowl, beat together the egg yolk and water. Set aside. Divide the dough in two equal halves. On a clean, floured surface roll one out to 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Place the long side in front of you. Spread a thin layer of olive spread, leaving a 1/2 inch margin. Top with a single layer of artichoke. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. Top with a layer of capicola, then soppressata, Genoa salami, and prosciutto and finally provolone taking care not to infringe on that 1/2 inch margin. Roll in to a tight spiral, rolling away from you. Pinch edges close. Brush with the egg wash. Slash the top. Bake, seam side down, on a parchment paper lined pizza stone or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining ingredients*. Toss some ice cubes into the bottom of the oven. Bake until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes then cool on a wire rack until just barely warm, about 10-15 minutes. Slice.
Note: Store leftovers wrapped in waxed paper and then again in foil. Serve leftovers warmed or at room temperature.
*A mixture of various green minced olives and olive oil. Look for it at Italian groceries.
**Depending on the thickness of the slices, you might end up with some meats and cheese leftover.

Slaverjaw is a level 49 rare red hyena that can be found in southern Tanaris, just north of the Southmoon Ruins. He has only one spawn location and he does not patrol away from it; specifically he spawns right in the middle of several very large bones sticking out of the sand. I have indicated his spawn location in red on the map below.
He drops the typical green item and a fairly decent amount of experience for leveling characters.
He is also desirable as a hunter pet for mid-level hunters as he is the only tamable red hyena under level 82. The only other tamable red hyenas in the game are the level 82-83 Bloodsnarl Hyenas in Uldum. There are also hyenas with this exact same skin color in Western Plaguelands (Scarlet Hounds), but they are not tamable.
Slaverjaw can be found with NPCScan, but it isn't really necessary as he doesn't move from the location that he spawns at. If you do choose to add it, his NPCScan ID is 39185.
I currently have no idea as to what his spawn timer may be, but I did find him up the second time I came by looking for him. My guess is that it isn't very long, maybe 1-2 hours tops.

(from the forum:)
Hi everyone. A lot of new people have joined us this week, and visitor count is way up too. To help them out a bit, maybe some JB veterans can tell everyone what their favorite recipes here (or on Just Hungry) are. A link to the recipe would be great, but I can dig it out too. Thanks!
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
So many good ones, so hard to choose! The one I tend to use over and over is the chicken teriyaki (http://www.justbento.com/handbook/johbisai/bite-size-chicken-teriyaki-fo...). I chose this one mainly because I make the teriyaki sauce alone often. I make bentos for 2 teenage athletes (my daughter and one of her friends) so I'm always looking for protein that is portable. These chicken bites are perfect and the teriyaki is heads above any you can buy in the store.
It was one of my first forays into "Japanese" cooking. It was easy, tasted great, and made me think I could try some of the more complicated stuff.
I think my favorites are the kinpira. I make carrot kinpira almost every week, and the other ones are made often too. I like to make mine extra spicy. Keep up the great work!
While I use many of the recipes on Just Bento and Just Hungry, the recipe/techniques I honestly use the most are:
- Freezing pre-portioned rice
and its sister
- Making Onigiri with Cling Wrap:
While I use many of the recipes on Just Bento and Just Hungry, the recipe/techniques I honestly use the most are:
- Freezing pre-portioned rice
and its sister
- Making Onigiri with Cling Wrap:
Yep, this would be a great starter tip from me too! I use it all the time as my rice cooker minimum is 3 cups. That's way too much rice for me in a couple of days so freezing it works a treat.
I think my favorite has been the mini quiche/frittatas, they've been so easy to make. I've been able to put just about anything I feel like into them and even make them with egg whites instead to make them healthier.
1 egg tamagoyaki - so easy. I use it all the time.
Ken's right though - the carrot kinpira is full of awesome. I make that every other week and it keeps for an entire week of bentos. Mmm!
This is what I do most of the time (even if i don't cook bentos anymore, i do have lunch at home!):
Chicken teriyaki.
Onigiri tips.
Freezing rice tips.
An THIS. Oh, THIS. I have it like twice or 3 times per week, lol xD
Miso marinated pork:
Inarizushi: (although it's quite expensive for me to buy aburaage, i enjoy both cooking and eating it!)
There are a lot more... but then i'd end up posting most of maki's recipes :D
I usually surf the forum when I'm out of ideas or just look around just hungry *n_n*
My bento blog: http://justbento.com/blog/1305
My art blog: http://jizaacaso.deviantart.com
I second the miso-marinated pork.
Did you know it's also good on chicken?
One of my very favorites is Potato Oyaki!
Blog and Shop: http://ojami.etsy.com and http://ojamiya.com
The cooked to death peppers, even if I do have difficulty with forgetting and burning them. And the miso eggs. I love the way the flavour seems to concentrate in the yolks, and have discovered I can do a similar thing with purchased curry pastes too.
My blog is Food and Shoes
My number one favorite is the vegan iri dofu: http://justbento.com/handbook/recipe-collection-mains/vegan-iri-dofu-iri... . We make this a lot and it's especially great for using leftover tofu because the flavor gets better after a day or two in the refrigerator.
We also make these often:
spicy lentil snacks: http://justbento.com/handbook/recipe-collection-mains/spicy-lentil-snack... - these freeze well and can be packed frozen because they are room temperature by lunch.
glazed triple-soy loaf: http://justbento.com/handbook/recipe-collection-mains/glazed-triple-soy-...
lazy tea eggs: http://justbento.com/handbook/johbisai/lazy-easy-tea-eggs - I've also made these with masala chai and it is delicious!
I'm picking out a thermos for you.
Definitely the carrot kinpara, and "kinpara" treatment on other vegetables, notably the Broccoli Slaw from Trader Joe's. The tuna tofu burgers are a must, and the dry curry, colored onigiri, anything about onigiri really.... Part of it too, is the inspiration that just browsing the recipes provides. The use of furikake, the bento of rice, nori, and soy sauce, gosh, the whole site is so well done, as is Just Hungry when I have looked at it....
Definitely the Hambaguu recipe is one I use a lot- my Japanese husband is so grateful now that my "hambaguu`s" now taste the way they should in his mind instead of like the rissoles my mum used to make.
Also love the kinpira recipe!
The recipe I keep returning to, over and over, with minor variations, are the Very Easy Marinated Chicken Skewers (http://justbento.com/handbook/recipe-collection-mains/very-easy-marinate...). They're easy first of all, and secondly I've discovered that when I get chicken I can cut it up before I freeze it, prep the marinade, and actually freeze the chicken in the marinade in ziplocs or something. That way everything is prepared in one or two serving bags and I can just grab them the night before and let the meat defrost/marinade. Not only that, but my husband and roommate are notoriously picky eaters and it's one thing we all love!
I also love the radish pickles - http://justbento.com/handbook/johbisai/sweet-sour-and-salty-instant-radi... Every time we have a party/potluck/other food related event to attend, I make huge batches up of them and garnish them with plum-flavored sesame seeds, and I get rave reviews! And naturally I munch on them at home and in my bentos.
When I have the time to worry about shaping burgers, I make the tsukune burgers mentioned here: http://justbento.com/handbook/recipe-collection-mains/chicken-tsukune-st... Everyone here loves them with a glaze of storebought teriyaki sauce, so it's basically a good way to use up leftover chicken or turkey (I have made them with ground turkey and it's not half bad).
Last on the list is another favorite around our house. Even though my roommate doesn't like mushrooms, and my husband doesn't like ginger, they both love it! The Okowa Sticky Rice is a great way to spice up rice: http://justbento.com/handbook/recipe-collection-mains/okowa-sticky-rice-...
I love LOTS of the recipes, my current fav is http://justbento.com/handbook/recipe-collection-mains/sweet-sour-red-win...
so easy to make and yummy - all my family love it.
This is really tough to call! I see there is a lot of love for the kinpira, and rightly so - the brocolli stalk one has changed my life!
I think I've narrowed it down to these:
I have made this loads of times; it's so easy and great for using up apples that might be past their eating best.
Soooooo tasty, and so comforting, it was a revelation the first time I made this. I was worried that the eggplant might be sloppy and soggy, but it just becomes smooth melt-in-the-mouth loveliness. I could eat it every day, so have to make a concerted effort not to, as it is quite high in sugar!
Finally, this recipe has been a real life-saver over the spring/summer this year. Sauteeing the veggies first really brings out their natural sweetness and umami. Thanks, Maki no okaasan! And thanks Maki, too, obviously!
I love the 1 egg tamagoyaki recipe:
I also like the vegetarian furikake recipes especially this one:
Not recipes, but really useful pages for beginners are:
And over on Just Hungry:
I have spent hours looking at these sites and have got loads of ideas from both.
Hands down these are our 2 most used recipes from JustBento!
We haven't had the tuna burgers in a while (my enormous tub of miso went past the date and hasn't been replaced) but they are so good! And the chicken nuggets are so versatile it's amazing! We usually make ours with lime juice instead of lemon but they're good either way. I also like them with tamarind paste (as mentioned in my comment on that page). I don't think there is a single recipe anywhere that I use more than the chicken one! :D
Though one of the simplest recipes here in regards to ingredients and preparation, my favorite recipe is the panfried salted chicken thighs. I do end up sacrificing the crispy skin when I pack it in a bento, but the flavor is still divine and goes well with just-cooked rice.
There are too many to list, but my ultimate favorite is the Miso Egg recipe where you marinate boiled eggs in miso. Love them. I 've tweaked the main recipe for different flavors but always go back to original. It's great!
Favorite? I guess... since it seems I make it all the time:
Homemade furikake no. 10: Sardines and pine nuts. EZ to make. EZ on the $$. Keeps great in the fridge. Really wakes up a light dinner of rice and veggies. Great visual in the bento box. Cures diseases. Smooths out wrinkles. Wins marathons. Improves eyesight.... [some of these claims may be slightly exaggerated]
I've found that water packed sardines also work well and a couple of weeks ago I substituted smoked salmon for sardines. It was just as good. It wouldn't make sense economically to make this substitution but I happened to have rather a lot of left-over smoked salmon from a party.
Hmmm … wrinkles? eyesight? I'm convinced, I'll have to try it. You can keep your marathons though.
Soboro and Hambaguu! They are my freezer staples. If you make chicken version of soboro, be sure to use leg meat because breast meat sucks.

"I think the gun issue is totally out of control. I think there should be a nationwide ban on these type of weapons. ... I do not believe in semi-automatic and automatic guns should be in the hands of normal citizens, they should be for the military. They're killing machines.

"When I first heard about it and all I could think about was my little girl and how I wanted to take her out of school and home school her. I think it's an outrage somebody was able to get into the school and do what they did. It was little children. They're innocent and it should never have happened. It still makes me want to cry because I still think of (my daughter) and a lot of them were close to her age. ..."

Hii all..
I want to ask your experience about how culturing megakaryocytes.
So few weeks ago, I tried to culture mouse bone marrow cells for CFC assay (I grew in MethoCult separately and also MegaCult-Stem cells technologies). After several days, I can see, count, and picked up colonies from MethoCult. But for megacult culture, It was a bit tough for me to pick up the colonies for next cuturing. and after around almost 2 weeks culturing in the medium, looks like more adherent cells (like fibroblast) are more growing.
so, at first I culture Bone marrow cells with this MegaCult:
Megacult-C Medium without cytokine (Stemcell Technologies, 04950)
50 ng/ml rhThrombopoietin
20 ng/ml rhIL-6
10 ng/ml rmIL-3
- Collagen (Stemcell Technologies, 04902 ; 3mg/ml): I use 0,6mL in every 1 mL MegaCult
Cells number was: 1.0×105 cells/dish
then, after around 8 days, I picked up the colonies, and start culturing in this medium:
IMDM : 16 ml
15% FBS : 3 ml
2 mM L-Glu (200 mM) : 200 µl
100 µM 2ME (100 mM) : 20 µl
1% BSA (20%) : 1 ml
10 µg/ml insulin (5 µg/ml) : 40 µl
200 µg/ml transferrin (100 mg/ml) : 40 µl
50 ng/ml rh TPO (50 µg/ml) : 20 µl
20 ng/ml rh IL-6 (20 µg/ml) : 20 µl
50 ng/ml rh IL-11 (50 µg/ml) : 20 µl
10 ng/ml rm IL-3 (10 µg/ml) : 20 µl
If you have any experiences how to pick up the megakaryocytes more easily (because it was too sticky, and looks like they like to grow in the sticky area), could you please give any suggestion how to prepare MegaCult medium before adding the Bone marrow cells?
Thank you all

I know you're proud of her. I know I'm always so thrilled when Robin and Simon are accepting of strangers and their handling. It's such a weight off my shoulders.
I've heard of cartrophen and have heard good results for some people-- hopefully she'll have fabulous results!
We've upped Simon's adequan shots to every 2 weeks because it's that effective. As you know he's old, and his arthritis is becoming fairly debilitating; from what I understand, it's common to need it more frequently when dogs are in Simon's situation. But we start to really, really notice when it's running out. He has trouble even standing in one place without sliding down unless he's up on his shots. And then once he's had it, he wants to run around and follow the others (Have you seen the brochure for Rimadyl with the golden retriever running jauntily on the cover? I think of that every time!! ). When we first started it, he only needed the shot every 6 weeks or so. We were giving it to him every month, and so we didn't see the decline that happens when it runs out and didn't realize just how effective it had been. Now it's a night and day difference. Worth every penny. Our vet charges $30 a shot (it was $25 until recently), but I know of some people who give the shots themselves and have the vet order it for them.
Keep us posted!

Full interview HERE
BoxOfficeMag recently sat down with Kristen Stewart to discuss all things Twilight as well as her post-Twilight projects. Here's a quick preview:
@AmyBoxOffice"For the Kristen Stewart fans who are asking, it was a 30 minute phone interview at the end of a long SNOW WHITE shooting day in London. And Kristen was really passionate about defending Bella against people who think she's weak or naive. She's super smart and sincere."
You know this character so well, what's it like to take her through this huge change when she becomes a vampire herself?
It felt good. It was really weird. It was such a long process of the two movies being shot at the same time as if they're one. You shoot, obviously, out of order and you keep going back and forth between pregnant, human and dead vampire Bella. There's so many different versions of Bella in this, it's insane. It was a strange experience walking on set the first time I played a scene as a vampire because I'd watched everyone around me doing it all the time. I sound so lame, but vampire Bella really is my favorite character—she's very representative of a matriarch. She's very intuitive on almost a psychic level and no one ever acknowledges it, which is interesting. Maybe that says something about Stephenie that she doesn't get respect for all of her f--king amazing qualities. And that's also one of the things that makes her appealing to me, so that's not a strike at it—that's something that I like about it. And I think it's nice to see her finally get what she wants. That's probably the best thing, even if it sounds simple and indulgent, which is why the f--king thing is criticized all the time. It's nice to see people be happy. And she really—if I've played it right—is born to be where she is.
You're shooting Snow White and the Huntsman right now which imagines Snow White as this warrior princess. What's her fighting style like?
Not to trivialize it at all, but it's hard to play an action hero who is also the most compassionate person on earth. You can't hate. You epitomize bleeding hearts, so how the f--k do you do an action movie like that? She is sort of the last shred of hope for her land. She has this ethereal, spiritual connection to her people—she really feels things-and so it's like we don't really feel empathy. I've had some f--king eye-opening experiences on this movie. I think that to truly care for something isn't just putting yourself in that situation aesthetically and then going, "Oh my god, I feel so bad for them." It's truly not thinking of yourself at all. The way that you fight is that you must take out anything that hurt your people. Basically, I'm fighting evil—I'm fighting the most evil motherf--kers-and it's fine that they're being killed. It's anguish. It's literally f--king anguish. She takes absolutely no pleasure in ever hurting anything. I'm exhausted right now and I was thinking, "The fight stuff is coming up, maybe that won't be so bad." And then I realized that they're probably going to be my most emotional scenes because I'm killing people and I'm Snow White. It's a really f--king cool way to approach a movie where so many people die. Not that I'm criticizing violent movies—I love them, generally—but it is nice to do it this way.

I can't f--cking wait for the whole interview. lol I love passionate and excited Kristen!

WASHINGTON — The new U.S. Africa Command, which President Bush announced Feb. 6, will consolidate U.S. government efforts in Africa and the ability to work with partner nations, the officer in charge of the command's transition team said. The motivation behind creating AFRICOM, as it will be called, was the increasing importance of Africa strategically, diplomatically and economically, Navy Rear Adm. Robert Moeller, executive director of the U.S. Africa Command implementation planning team, said in an interview.
"The view was that the time has come, in fact, with the increasing importance of the continent to the U.S., that we could better meet our requirements by standing up one unified command to consolidate all of (Defense Department) activities, as opposed to having three separate commands doing that," Moeller said.
The African continent currently is divided among three combatant commands: U.S. European Command, U.S. Central Command and U.S. Pacific Command. U.S. Central Command has responsibility for Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia and Kenya. U.S. European Command has responsibility for the rest of the nations in the African mainland. U.S. Pacific Command has responsibility for Madagascar, the Seychelles and the Indian Ocean area off the African coast.
AFRICOM will eventually have responsibility for the entire continent of Africa, except Egypt, and the surrounding islands.
Many details of the new command still have to be determined, Moeller said, but the transition team will be based at Kelley Barracks, Stuttgart, Germany. DoD's plan is eventually to place AFRICOM headquarters in Africa.
In a statement today, President Bush said AFRICOM will strengthen security cooperation with Africa and create new opportunities to bolster the capabilities of African nations. "Africa Command will enhance our efforts to bring peace and security to the people of Africa and promote our common goals of development, health, education, democracy and economic growth in Africa," Bush said.
AFRICOM will focus mainly on humanitarian assistance, disaster relief and crisis response missions, Moeller said. The purpose of the command will be to prevent conflicts or other problems by strengthening the region, he said.
"We want to work with our African partners on building their capacity to be able to deal with some of the many challenges that they face across the continent," Moeller said. "By having one command that is focused on the entire continent, we believe that we can address those issues and those challenges much more coherently than with three existing commands today."
DoD's goal is to have AFRICOM fully operational by the end of fiscal 2008, Moeller said. The transition team is laying out the plans for the command and will form the core of the headquarters staff, he said.
Moeller, who will head the transition team, emphasized that DoD will work closely with other U.S. government agencies and African nations while developing the new command. Some of the missions AFRICOM eventually performs may be driven by input from African nations, he noted.
DoD's efforts to establish AFRICOM will not affect or interfere with operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, Moeller said. AFRICOM will cost about $50 million in fiscal 2007, and DoD is evaluating its cost for fiscal 2008, he added.
