Santa Monica has 3.5 miles (5.6 km) of well-maintained California beach locations and enjoys on average 340 days of sunshine a year plus a nearly constant gentle ocean breeze. Cycling, movie shoots, beach volleyball games, and the finest of people-watching all happen here, and it's no wonder. People love to gather at this California beach, partially because it is so pristine.

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by recognizing two of the most prolific seasons in Tennessee State men's basketball history.
In the 1992-93 and 1993-94 men's basketball seasons, head coach Frankie Allen led the Tigers to two Ohio Valley Conference Championships, one in regular season and one tournament title. Under Allen, Tennessee State appeared in two NCAA tournaments. Following these seasons, Frankie Allen was named OVC Coach of the Year twice.
The 1992-93 basketball season started off with a win against Jackson State followed by three straight losses. However, the Tigers bounced back and began 4-0 in conference play before their lost to Eastern Kentucky. Afterwards, the Tigers went on an eight-game winning streak. The Tigers ended their season with a win over Tennessee Tech for the first OVC Tournament win in school history and a win against Murray State to win the OVC tournament finals. They lost to Seton Hall in the NCAA tournament 81-59, finished 19-10 overall and 13-3 in the conference.
During the 1993-94 basketball season, the Tigers added another milestone with the 148-57 win over Fisk University. This became the second highest winning game score since TSU overpowered Knoxville College 150-8 in the 1958-59 season. The Tigers finished 19-12 and 12-4 in the conference. The Tigers ended their season with three straight Ohio Valley Conference wins against Middle Tennessee State University, Tennessee Tech and Murray State advancing them to the NCAA tournament where they would lose to the University of Kentucky.
All-Time letter winners during these seasons include: Carlos Rogers, Tim Horton, and Monty Wilson among a variety of others. Rogers was named to the OVC First Team twice and Horton was named to the Second Team twice. Both Rogers and Wilson were named to the OVC All-Newcomer Team. Rogers added to his career record with 8 blocks in a game against Missouri-Kansas City. Later his teammate Neil Jones added to his individual career record with 14 assists vs. Morehead State. Rogers was also named OVC player of the year in 1993 & 1994 and OVC tournament MVP in 1994.
Rogers went on to be drafted in the first round of the 1994 NBA Draft to the Seattle Supersonics. He went on to play for Golden State Warriors, Toronto Raptors, Portland Trailblazers, Houston Rockets and the Indiana Pacers. Rogers along with Anthony Mason were inducted to the Tennessee State University Sports Hall of Fame in November, 2010.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

Marion is one of the Midwest's fastest growing cities with a population of 36,774 - and one of the youngest per capita. We pride ourselves on being the best place in Iowa to raise a family and grow a business.
History Marion is unique in that it was founded and platted as the county seat of the new Linn County before anyone actually lived here. Surveyed in November 1839, lots went up for public auction on December 6, 1839. Marion quickly became the business center of the county and by 1855 had a population of 1,500. 19th century business centered around City Square Park. The Park still serves as a 'hub' of activity, but business and manufacturing have spread well beyond this beginning. By the early 1850's, it was obvious the railroad was the transportation of the future. On October 13, 1864 the railroad steamed into Marion. Over the next century, Marion would be an important railroad hub for the Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway, later known as the Milwaukee Road. In 1887, Marion became a Division point for this railroad with a roundhouse plus additional business offices which needed a new depot. It was placed adjacent to the business district. Marion has always been a family oriented community. A school and churches were established even before permanent homes and business structures were built. As the community grew, new schools were built. Today there are two large school districts in Marion, both noted for their academic excellence. Marion is also the home of Keith Vawter, the founder of the Chautauqua Circuit, a very popular adult education movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. City parks were added as the footprint of the city grew.
Marion Community Today Marion's Parks and Recreation Department maintains over 600 acres of public ground with a combined total of 41 parks and green spaces. City Square Park is home to the nationally- acclaimed Marion Arts Festival each summer, as well as concerts, farmers' markets and numerous other family-friendly activities year round. Lowe Park has on-going art exhibits, is the center of senior adult activities, and is home to the newly-dedicated Klopfenstein Amphitheater for the Performing Arts. Marion celebrates its heritage with an active Historical Society with permanent historical collections at the historic Granger House and the Marion Heritage Center. Both centers offer unique programming year around. Marion also contains three National Historic Districts and numerous homes on the National Historic Register.
Attractions and Entertainment Whether you are looking to shop in the variety of unique stores in town enjoy music in the City Square on a warm summer night, Christmas in the Park in December, the nationally-acclaimed Marion Arts Festival in the spring, or walking the trails on a crisp fall morning, it's no wonder we were named one of the 10 Best Towns for Families by Family Circle Magazine.

Here is what I came up with:
I had difficulties trying to get this image to come up bigger and clearer! I had to really try to find some clever way to get this on here so at least it wasn't blurry.
This was fun, and I will probably go back to the Wordle website and do some other variations.
Thanks Randy!

Civilian Conservation Corps: American Experience
Civilian Conservation Corps: American Experience Previous Broadcasts
Episode #2201H
KQED Plus: Tue, Oct 2, 2012 -- 10:00 PM
In March 1933, within weeks of his inauguration, President Franklin Roosevelt sent legislation to Congress aimed at providing relief for the 1 out of every 4 American workers who were unemployed. He proposed the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to provide jobs in natural resource conservation. Over the next decade, the CCC put more than three million young men to work in the nation's forests and parks, planting trees, building flood barriers, fighting fires, and maintaining roads and trails. This film tells the story of one of the boldest and most popular New Deal experiments, positioning it as a pivotal moment in the emergence of modern environmentalism and federal unemployment relief.

not sure about the dividing by race. this will get some negative views. And then when they say they are sticking to their original tribe then it will be it be are they prejudice or sticking to original alliance.
Plus, a Survivor twist! Don't miss as host Jeff Probst unveils a special Survivor surprise for the new season
Oh wow ! Thanks Gman ..gheesh I dont know what to think ? I'm not unhappy about the cast twist I'm more unhappy that we don't have some older , normal contestants in the cast ...too many pretty people you know ?
The announcement was made on CBS' Early Show. Host Jeff Probst says the idea "actually came from the criticism that 'Survivor' was not ethnically diverse enough." He says the twist fits in perfectly with what "Survivor" does, saying the show is "a social experiment. And this is adding another layer to that experiment." Probst says contestants had mixed reactions to the racial divisions.

APR Motorsport is completely new to Grand-Am racing, and chances are you've never competed in something as intense as Grand-Am, so you'd have no idea how hard it is to just avoid damage and actually finish a race.
APR Motorsport in their No. 51 Audi R8 Grand-Am started in ninth position at the 2012 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series at the Montreal 200 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Saturday afternoon.
Between drivers Dr. Jim Norman and Dion von Moltke, APR Motorsport suffered some damage, worked through it and were able to gain back their position and finish the race ninth, which marked their first ever top-ten finish in the Rolex Series.
"It was a really tough race as Montreal is a very mentally demanding race track," said von Moltke. "You really have no room for error and for the last 45 minutes I was pushing like it was qualifying to close the gap to the Mazda in front of us. I was able to get right on his rear bumper on the final lap but I just used up the tires too much trying to get there that I had nothing left to really challenge him through the final few corners. Once again our guys were awesome in the pits which really allowed us to finally crack the top-ten."
"We have made tremendous progress this year developing the Audi so it is competitive under the Grand Am rules package," said Norman. "The team has been working very hard to find every possible way to make the car handle better and thus move up the time sheets. We are back to work and expect an even better result at Laguna!"
The next round of the Rolex Series and the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge will be September 7-9, at the Continental Tire Sports Car Festival at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Salinas, Calif.

ScottJ needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 9 designs submitted by 3 freelance designers.
The logo should match in design the uploaded examples
For use mainly online, possibility of computer literate/tech usage.
I have a logo/trademark, I need the logo digitized so that it can be used online, attached is an image of the logo as a badge and a poor sketch of it, I need this transformed into a high quality logo for use online and in print if needed.
For the logo colours I'd like it quite clean and modern, perhaps a golden colour or silver gradient.
I would also like one debossed version of the logo so that I could put it on a webpage and it would look like the logo was sunken into the page as a background for use behind text.

Weekly Game Balls: Week 4
Sometimes its hard to find anything positive from such a heartbreaking loss, however several players did play well and for that they deserve to be recognized.
This week's offensive game ball goes to Sam Hurd.
Sam Hurd, who has been nearly invisible offensively this year, zig-zagged his way down the field on 4th and 3 to set up a chance for the Cowboys to win last Sunday.
Hurd finished the game with 62 yards on 3 catches. He made up most of those yards his 3rd catch, a 53-yard gain.
Sam was also thrown to twice in the final seconds but could not secure the ball. He was covered by the Pro Bowler Champ Bailey.
We are likely to see more of Sam Hurd with Roy Williams injured this week.
This week's defensive/special teams game ball goes to Bradie James.
Bradie James was a beast out there. He helped give the Cowboys a chance in the game.
With the offense sputtering, the defense was needed to step up and Bradie led the way. With the exception of the Brandon Marshall touchdown (in which they couldn't tackle), the defense gave Denver quarterback Kyle Orton all kinds of pressure.
James finished the game with 6 tackles with 2 assists. He also had 1 sack and a fumble recovery.
Congratulations to Sam and Bradie for their outstanding play.
That was a game the Dallas Cowboys should of won. Kansas City is next, hopefully the Cowboys will give us an overwhelming win and that should make it more satisfying to give out game balls next week.
Runners-up: The Entire Defense

find_by_sql(sql, binds = [])
Executes a custom SQL query against your database and returns all the results. The results will be returned as an array with columns requested encapsulated as attributes of the model you call this method from. If you call Product.find_by_sql then the results will be returned in a Product object with the attributes you specified in the SQL query.
If you call a complicated SQL query which spans multiple tables the columns specified by the SELECT will be attributes of the model, whether or not they are columns of the corresponding table.
The sql parameter is a full SQL query as a string. It will be called as is, there will be no database agnostic conversions performed. This should be a last resort because using, for example, MySQL specific terms will lock you to using that particular database engine or require you to change your call if you switch engines.
# A simple SQL query spanning multiple tables Post.find_by_sql "SELECT p.title, c.author FROM posts p, comments c WHERE p.id = c.post_id" > [#<Post:0x36bff9c @attributes={"title"=>"Ruby Meetup", "first_name"=>"Quentin"}>, ...] # You can use the same string replacement techniques as you can with ActiveRecord#find Post.find_by_sql ["SELECT title FROM posts WHERE author = ? AND created > ?", author_id, start_date] > [#<Post:0x36bff9c @attributes={"title"=>"The Cheap Man Buys Twice"}>, ...]
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb, line 469 def find_by_sql(sql, binds = []) connection.select_all(sanitize_sql(sql), "#{name} Load", binds).collect! { |record| instantiate(record) } end
Space before the opening [
In this example
Post.find_by_sql ["SELECT title FROM posts WHERE author = ? AND created > ?", author_id, start_date]
The array is a parameter, so a space is required before the opening [, which is equivalent to write like this
Post.find_by_sql(["SELECT title FROM posts WHERE author = ? AND created > ?", author_id, start_date])
Wrong number of arguments (2 for 1)
If you get this error, wrap brackets with parentheses: Post.find_by_sql(["some query"])

Most of us start a fitness routine in order to lose weight and push ourselves to work harder to quickly achieve our goals. However, it may be best for us to forget about that extreme diet and over the top fitness routine. Many studies show that this may not be the most effective way to reach our goals. In fact, most of these studies have found that you will most likely succeed in your fitness routine if you take baby steps and not giant leaps. You will get more noticeable results that tend to last longer, and at the same time, this gradual increase in your workout routine will lower your risk of injury. It can be hard in the beginning of any fitness routine trying to decide the best and quickest way to get the results that you want. Here are a few tips that we have compiled for you to help you safely fast track your fitness routine.
Proceed at a gradual and consistent pace
You do not need to start your fitness routine by running a marathon. You want to build up to it. You need to condition your body first. It does not matter how many reps you do, how much weight you can lift or how long your fitness routine lasts. All you need to do is keep challenging your body, and when your fitness routine is not that challenging take the time to build onto it. Your fitness routine needs to keep progressing in order for you to achieve results. According to a study published in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine, participants who made one small, permanent change in their food choices or physical activity each week, such as consuming one less cup of soda or jogging 2 more laps a day actually lost more than twice as much belly fat, an extra 2½ inches off their waistlines, and about 4 times more weight during a 4-month program, when compared with those who stuck to the traditional calorie-restriction and physical-activity guidelines. (Huffington Post).
Follow the one mile rule
Most Americans love their car. It is our preferred form of transportation. Most of us use our cars everyday. Did you know that Americans use their cars for two-thirds of all trips that are less than one mile and 89% of all car trips range between one to two miles? We could easily get in some extra workout time if we put away the car for the shorter trips and walk or jog. Did you know that each additional hour you spend driving is associated with a 6% increase in obesity? This can have a huge effect on our fitness routines, especially when we add up all the time we spend in our cars. You can shed some extra fat by following the one mile rule, which states that if your trip is less than one mile away, you will walk instead of drive, or you could park where you can go to several places within a mile instead of moving your car each time. If you find the time to walk every day, by the next year you will lose around thirteen to seventeen pounds.
Get enough shut eye
With our hectic schedules, many of us find ourselves burning the midnight oil. This can have an adverse effect on our weight loss goals. We need to set aside the appropriate amount of time to sleep. If you make it a point to go to bed earlier then you should begin to see weight loss within a week. A study conducted by the University of Pennsylvania found that just a few nights of sleep deprivation can cause you to almost immediately gain weight. The study called for the participants to sleep about ten hours a night for the first two days, followed by five nights of sleep deprivation. They were then given four nights to recover. At the end of the eleven days, the sleep-deprived group had gained almost three pounds more than the well-rested control group. Sleeping is an important part of our daily routines. It is needed to help our bodies rest and recover from not only physical demands of our day but also the mental and emotional demands of our day, so it would be beneficial for you to set up the time needed to get the recommended amount of sleep per day.
It can be hard to stick to a fitness routine long enough to see the benefits and results of it. We may start our routines with a full speed ahead type of attitude but more often than not we become discouraged. We begin to think that we will never be able to achieve our weight loss goals. However, if we look at the smaller picture we would be able to take pride in our progress and see that we are headed in the right direction. Lesley Lutes, PhD, an assistant professor in the department of psychology at East Carolina University states that "when you focus on a few small changes at a time, you start to form some healthy habits that will last for a lifetime, rather than trying an all-or-nothing approach that more often than not fails because it is too hard to follow." So, start out small and focus on the little things, and you may just be surprised when you surpass your fitness goals.

Iron absorption from the intestinal tract is a very subtle process; poor absorption is one of the main reasons, along with low-iron diets, that iron deficiency is so prevalent. Along with calcium, which is also difficult to absorb, iron and zinc are the minerals most commonly deficient in our diet.
Average iron absorption is about 8-10 percent of intake. All vegetable sources contain the "nonheme" form of iron, which is poorly absorbed and utilized. "Heme" iron, a special formulation of iron, is found only in flesh foods, beef and liver being the best sources. Between 10 and 30 percent of heme iron is absorbed. Combining heme foods with nonheme foods improves the absorption of iron from the nonheme foods. This is why complete vegetarians have trouble obtaining sufficient iron from the diet alone. Phytates present in whole grains and oxalates found in certain vegetables may bind up some of the iron and make it unabsorbable. Meat foods improve absorption, possibly by stimulating increased stomach acid production and by the fact that the iron contained is already bound into muscle and blood tissue, the iron proteins myoglobin and hemoglobin.
Iron absorption is a slow process, usually taking between two and four hours. The food-natural ferrous (+2) ion is absorbed much better than iron in the ferric (+3) form. Vitamin C in the gut along with iron converts any ferric iron to ferrous and thus improves absorption. Iron absorbed into the blood is usually bound to the protein transferrin and goes mainly to the bone marrow, where it can be used to make red blood cells. Some also goes to the liver and spleen. About 25 percent of body iron is stored bound to the protein ferritin and as the iron complex hemosiderin. Ferritin has good iron-binding capacity. A fully saturated ferritin molecule, which is actually ferric oxide surrounded by the protein apoferritin, can contain about 4,000 iron atoms. Ferritin stored in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow, for example, provides a good reserve of iron to meet body needs. Measuring serum ferritin levels is a fairly new medical test that provides a good indication of iron storage levels. A normal value is 15-200 mcg. A level below 15 mcg. suggests very depleted iron reserves. Iron toxicity may show ferritin levels in the thousands.
About three-quarters of the iron in our bodies is active. Of that, about 70 percent is in hemoglobin, 5 percent is in myoglobin (muscle oxygenating protein), and the rest is part of iron cofactors and enzymes such as catalases, peroxidases, and the cytochromes. Some is also in transition, attached to transferrin, which transports iron to the bone marrow, liver, and other tissues for its functions in processing hemoglobin, myoglobin, and various enzymes. Fortunately, the body conserves iron very well, though this increases the possibility of toxicity. Toxicity has not been a great concern until recently, when the possibility of liver irritation and the increased risk of heart disease in men and postmenopausal women due to the oxidant effect of iron was suggested. About 1 percent of red blood cells are recycled each day (their average life span is 120 days), and we use the iron from them (about 30-50 mg. daily) to manufacture new cells. The recycled iron provides about 90 percent of the iron required to make new cells and to carry out other functions; therefore, we need only a little more for full functioning, unless, of course, there is blood loss.
Iron lost from the body must be replaced through dietary iron, but this often takes time and requires a regular source from food or supplements. A pint of blood contains about 200 mg. of iron. Even though iron absorption increases with increased need, it can still take several months to replenish the iron lost when we donate blood. About 30-40 mg. of iron will be lost during an average female menstrual cycle; this is why menstruating women need a consistently higher iron intake than men, a minimum of 18 mg. per day. During breast-feeding, the nursing mother will lose about 1-2 mg. per day. In pregnancy, the mother transfers 500-1000 mg. of iron to her growing baby, most of that (500-700 mg.) during the last few months. Since there are usually less than 500 mg. stored in the bone marrow and other tissues, the mother needs a regular, good dietary and supplemental intake of iron, or she will become very depleted and will be less able to obtain the extra oxygen she requires during pregnancy, labor, and delivery of her baby. After delivery, iron depletion could cause her to feel run-down and to have difficulty caring for her infant.
Many factors can increase iron absorption from the intestines and improve our chances of maintaining adequate body levels. Absorption improves when there is increased need for iron, as during growth periods, pregnancy, and lactation or after blood loss. Acids in the stomach, such as hydrochloric acid, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in the small intestine help change any ferric iron to the more easily absorbable ferrous form. Citrus fruits and many vegetables contain vitamin C and therefore help our iron absorption. The animal flesh foods have the more easily absorbed "heme," or blood, iron and also provide amino acids, which stimulate production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Cooking with an iron skillet will add iron to the food and make more of it available for absorption. Copper, cobalt, and manganese in the diet also improve iron absorption.
Likewise, many factors can reduce the body's iron absorption. Low stomach acid or taking antacids or other alkalis will diminish iron absorption. Rapid gastric motility reduces the chance to absorb iron, which is a slow process anyway. Phosphates, found in meats and soft drinks; oxalates, in spinach, chard, and other vegetables; and phytates, in the whole grains, all can form insoluble iron complexes or salts that will not be absorbed. Soy protein is being researched, as it may also reduce iron absorption. The caffeine and tannic acid in coffee and tea lower absorption of iron. Low copper in the gut and in the body reduces iron absorption, and high calcium can compete with iron. Supplementing calcium with iron may create a more alkaline digestive medium, which further reduces iron absorption. Iron absorption usually decreases with age as well.
Increased by:
Decreased by:
Any unabsorbed iron is eliminated in the feces. Otherwise, only minute amounts are lost in the urine, sweat, nail clippings, and hair. Other than through blood loss, most body iron is retained fairly well. Normal iron loss in the average person is about 1 mg. per day.
When we have plenty of iron, we can say we're "in the pink." Usually we will have good circulation, with rosy cheeks, pink earlobes, and pink tongue. (Yet we can also be "too pink" or red, with excess iron and blood cells.) If the tongue or the mucosal lining of the mouth is pale, we should look for anemia, so it is good for us to know what we can about iron, especially where we can find it in our foods.
Sources: Some of our soil is iron deficient, so the plants grown or the animals grazed there may contain relatively smaller amounts, though this is not yet a major concern. The milling of grain removes about 75 percent of the iron present in whole grains, as much of the iron is found in the outer bran and germ. The fortified or enriched grain foods, such as cereals and breads, contain some iron (plus vitamins B1, B2, and B3), but this iron is in the poorly absorbed ferric state. Cooking in iron pots or skillets will add absorbable iron to food, but if this is done excessively over time, iron toxicity is a possibility.
Heme iron, as found in meats, is generally thought to be the iron that is best absorbed, several times more absorbable than the nonheme iron found in the vegetable kingdom. This does not mean that we need to eat meats in order to get sufficient iron, though that is often recommended in cases of iron deficiency. The 18 mg. of iron a day needed by a woman in the childbearing years is not always easy to obtain through diet. Though eating 22 slices of whole wheat bread or 13 cups of cooked kale would supply 18 mg., these are obviously not desirable ways to get it. In addition to beef, liver, and other organ meats that have relatively high amounts of absorbable iron, pork, lamb, chicken, and shellfish such as clams and oysters contain reasonable iron levels. Egg yolks are fairly good sources, and salmon is the best of the other seafood.
From the vegetable world, whole grains are the overall best source. Wheat, millet, oats, and brown rice are all iron-containing grains. The legumes-dried peas and beans-are good; lima beans, soybeans, kidney beans, and green peas are examples. Nuts, such as almonds and Brazil nuts, and most seeds contain iron. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, and dandelion are good sources, as are broccoli and asparagus. Dried fruits such as prunes, raisins, and apricots have a good amount of iron. Prune juice often gives us additional iron. Unsulfured molasses is concentrated in iron; one tablespoon contains about 3 mg. Tomatoes, strawberries, and many other fruits and vegetables contain some iron, so it is possible to obtain adequate amounts of iron from dietary sources without consuming a lot of meat by eating wholesome foods, especially whole grains, green vegetables, and the legumes, nuts, and seeds.
Functions: The primary function of iron in the body is the formation of hemoglobin. Iron is the central core of the hemoglobin molecule, which is the essential oxygen-carrying component of the red blood cell (RBC). In combination with protein, iron is carried in the blood to the bone marrow, where, with the help of copper, it forms hemoglobin. The ferritin and transferrin proteins actually hold and transport the iron. Hemoglobin carries the oxygen molecules throughout the body. Red blood cells pick up oxygen from the lungs and distribute it to the rest of the tissues, all of which need oxygen to survive. Iron's ability to change back and forth between its ferrous and ferric forms allows it to hold and release oxygen. Each hemoglobin molecule can carry four oxygen molecules. This large protein molecule makes up approximately 30 percent of the RBCs. Amazingly, there are some 20 trillion RBCs in the average human body (men have more than women), and about 115 million red blood cells are made every minute. As mentioned before, approximately 90 percent of the iron needed to make those cells comes from recycled RBCs that are normally destroyed by the spleen at the end of their 120-day life span.

Olivia Bee Takes
a Vision WalkExplore
Pat, Dane, and Tanner Gudasukas —aka the G-Boys— have brought good family vibes to surf culture since stepping onto their first waves in San Clemente, CA. Here, they remind us of their mission: sharing the best feeling in the world with as many people as possible.
Surfer, musician, and artist, Alex Knost is constantly experimenting and pushing boundaries without concern for what others think. Approaching creation, whether on a board or an instrument, is a vehicle for personal expression.
Kyle Walker closes out the ever-climbing rollercoaster of mind-blowing stoke that is the Vans skate video "NO OTHER WAY," in emphatic fashion. Leaving no doubt as to why he is Thrasher Magazine's 2016 Skater of the Year. Enjoy the madness…
Nathan Fletcher is a surf icon who, if you asked him, would most likely dismiss that and tell you he just loves surfing.
Lizzie Armanto is simply a great skateboarder. There's no denying that she has been a driving force breaking down barriers, smashing stereotypes, and showing that skate-boarding isn't just a male form of creative expression. Maybe that's because ignoring labels and going against the norm is second nature to her.
When he's not airing huge gaps and bombing freakishly huge stairs, Chris Pfanner airs the world one plane ride at a time. Here he teams up with Cyres Wang, one of the pioneers of Chinese skate culture, to get their hands dirty and make it happen on the streets of China.
Tony Alva is the original. Elijah Berle is the modern heir of the Z-Boys legacy, moving skateboarding into the future while honoring its past. Skating an empty backyard pool they connect on a level which transcends the 30-year gap in their ages, reminding us that skateboarding, at its core, is a way to express yourself.
Elijah Berle and Tony Alva skate the legendary Bronson Canyon ditch, which has been part of skateboarding's history since the early days of taking surf maneuvers to the concrete. Here they both approach it in their own way, forgetting the rules, and doing whatever feels right.

INDIAN WELLS, California (Reuters) - Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova found herself in a tight spot in more ways than one at the BNP Paribas Open on Friday but managed to escape with a come-from-behind victory after a timely wardrobe change.
Overwhelmed in the opening set on a chilly day at Indian Wells, Kuznetsova immediately felt more comfortable when she discarded her leggings and went on to upset 18th-seeded Serb Jelena Jankovic 0-6 6-2 7-5 in the second round.
"For me it's very difficult to play in cold weather because even when I tried to play in the long tight pants in the first set, I cannot," Kuznetsova, a losing finalist here in 2007 and 2008, told reporters.
"I think I can do it every time I go and try, and I know I cannot. I can practice in them without problem, but when I have matches I always start to lose. I have to take them off and then all the things changes.
"I don't think I started to win because of my pants, but still, I was not moving. I just had to change things."
Kuznetsova, a winner of 13 WTA singles titles, said she immediately felt much more at ease on the second Stadium Court at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden after removing her leggings.
"They are very tight, so they were kind of pushing my stomach and I was not so much comfortable," she added. "It was not bothering me like so much, but after I took it off I was feeling a little bit looser.
"So it's a little bit funny. Yeah, it's just the pants, but I don't blame them. I mean, it's all because of me."
Kuznetsova, who spent six months on the sidelines last year due to a right knee injury after losing in the first round of Wimbledon, has enjoyed her relatively low-profile status this week at Indian Wells.
"I had no pressure," smiled the Russian, whose world ranking has dropped to 46th from a career-high second. "She (Jankovic) is seeded; I'm not seeded. I have no pressure this year at all.
"Overall, I was thinking that I don't want to have any pressure in my life, that I feel much better without pressure. I will try to keep things this way, but I always think when I come on the court it's going to depend on me and on my game.
"I was pretty bad in the first set, but I managed to change it. So I'm pretty happy with it, but I have to change the start."

Yesterday Internet Archive launched a new service that allows users to search through news stories from every national news program
in the U.S. for video clips on a particular topic. It is then possible to watch 30 seconds of the program.
Additional clicking will allow you to watch the entire program 30 seconds at a time. TVNews Search . Borrow makes it possible to borrow the program on DVD from Internet Archive for a fee of $50. The DVD must be returned.
Internet Archive states that TVNews Search . Borrow is allowed by Section 108 of the copyright code. 17 USC sec. 108 – Limitations on exclusive rights: Reproduction by libraries and archives allows libraries to lend a limited number of DVDs containing news programs to the public. Internet Archive lends other library materials online.
Internet Archive has contacted all the news services in hopes that they can partner and provide links to the material directly on the websites of the news services when possible. The news services have not yet partnered and are not yet commenting on it.
In 2008 Redlasso, a for profit site, was sued by NBC and Fox for copyright violation for a creating a video clip search engine without paying licensing fees. They stopped providing access to unlicensed material. Redlasso isn't the only company providing licenses clips today, Critical Mention, Inc. also records TV content and sells it to companies who want to know what the media is saying about them. Critical Mention has licenses from the content creators, including some exclusive agreements.
In a similar type service for print media, there is an ongoing lawsuit filed in Feb 2012 by AP against Meltwater Group . For $5000 a year Meltwater clients get, among other things, the ability to "track keywords, phrases, and topics in over 192,000 sources from over 190 countries and 100 languages, monitored consistently throughout the day." The AP lawsuit states that Meltwater allows clients to store the complete article on their website therefor violating copyright of the print media. Meltwater mostly lost a similar lawsuit in Great Britain, but in losing did manage to get the licensing fees lowered by 90%.
It will be interesting to see how the media reacts to the new TVNews Search . Borrow. Although I am a staunch supporter of Internet Archive and their many wonderful offerings, including the Wayback Machine and their Government Document projects, I'm not sure if they have gone a step beyond this time. I hope they can work out the issues with the media companies to make it work.
While it might seem that TV news is a stretch from genealogy, every copyright issue and challenge can affect our use of material. In fact, many of us clip pieces from other websites and add them to our 0wn, convinced that we are staying within the limits of fair use. Perhaps we aren't. It is always better to link to the origin of the material you use if that is possible and getting permission for the usage and even sometimes for the link might be in order.

Make a list of what makes it feel like Christmas. Put up a tree, or hang some lights and garlands.
Bring some Christmas magic into your home.
May this holiday season be so special that you never ever feel lonely again and be surrounded by loved ones throughout!
Here are a few little bits of Christmas.
Potatoes fried and spiced-up. Yummy! Plymouth Christmas Market, Holiday Season 2010.

Copyright Week: How Copyright Is Being Use To Destroy Property Rights
from the not-enhance-them deptThe latest in our posts for Copyright Week explores the concept of "you bought it, you own it," and how that's going away thanks to copyright. What's funny (or depressing) is that copyright's strongest defenders like to claim that protecting stronger copyright is about increasing "property rights." We've long since pointed out that copyright and property are very different. Property, as a concept, was developed to better manage the efficient allocation of scarce resources. But when something isn't scarce, it simply makes no sense to have a property right around it.
But we're not here to discuss whether or not copyright is or isn't property right now. Instead, let's look at how copyright has fundamentally taken away property rights from many. And let's start out with a look back into history. This isn't something that is necessarily new. You can go all the way back to 1773 and the famous case in Scotland of Hinton v. Donaldson, in which Lord Kames was already aware of how excessive copyright can interfere with real property rights:
What is then the nature of the pursuer's right? He does not pretend to say, that it is a right to any corpus, to any subject that can be possessed, or that can be stolen from him. Ergo, it is not property. Taking it in all views, no more can be made of it than to be a privilege or monopoly, which entitles the claimant to the commerce of a certain book, and excludes all others from making money by it. The important question then is, from what source is this monopoly derived, a monopoly that endures for ever, and is effectual against all the world? The act of Queen Anne bestows this monopoly upon authors for a limited time upon certain conditions. But our legislature, far from acknowledging a perpetual monopoly at common law, declares that it shall last no longer than a limited time.Lord Kames immediately understands the dangerous nature of how copyright can actually interfere with the property rights of others, and it's a situation that has gotten significantly worse over time, especially now that all sorts of things -- digital and physical -- include code or other content that can be covered by copyright law. And, as such, things that we "buy" every day are no longer actually being bought, but rather licensed -- and with that license comes all of the restrictions that Lord Kames mocked as crazy centuries ago.
But to follow out the common law. The composer of a valuable book has great merit with respect to the public: his proper reward is approbation and praise, and he seldom fails of that reward. But what is it that entitles him to a pecuniary reward? If he be entitled, the composer of a picture, of a machine, and the inventor of every useful art, is equally entitled. Such a monopoly, so far from being founded on common law, is contradictory to the first principles of society. Why was man made a social being, but to benefit by society, and to partake of all the improvements of society in its progress toward perfection? At the same time, he was made an imitative being, in order to follow what he sees done by others. But to bestow on inventors the monopoly of their productions, would in effect counteract the designs of Providence, in making man a social and imitative being: it would be a miserable cramp upon improvements, and prevent the general use of them. Consider the plough, the loom, the spinning wheel. Would it not sound oddly, that it would be rank injustice for any man to employ these useful machines, without consent of the original inventors and those deriving right from them? At that rate, it would be in the power of the inventors to deprive mankind both of food and raiment. The gelding of cattle for food, was not known at the siege of Troy. Was the inventor entitled to a monopoly so as to bar others from gelding their cattle? What shall be said of the art of printing? If the monopoly of this useful art was to be perpetual, it would be a sad case for learned men, and for the interest of learning in general: it would enhance the price of books far beyond the reach of ordinary readers. Such a monopoly would raise a fund sufficient to purchase a great kingdom. The works alone of Shakespeare, or of Milton, would be a vast estate. Te art of making salt water fresh is a very late invention. Was it ever dreamed to be a transgression against property, to use that art without consent of the inventor?
I observe, in the next place, that this claim, far from being founded on property, is inconsistent with it. The privilege an author has by statute, is known to all the world. But I purchase a book not entered in Stationer's hall; does it not become my property? I see a curious machine, the fire engine, for example. I carry it away in my memory, and construct another by it. Is not that machine, the work of my own hand, my property? I buy a curious picture, is there any thing to bar me from giving copies without end? It is a rule in all laws, that the commerce of moveables ought to be free; and yet, according to the pursuer's doctrine, the property of moveables may be subjected to endless limitations and restrictions that hitherto have not been thought of, and would render the commerce of moveables extremely hazardous. At any rate, the author of avery wise or witty saying, uttered even in conversation, has a monopoly of it; and no man is at liberty to repeat it.
Last year, Alex Cummings wrote an excellent article discussing the end of property rights, because copyright was slowly being used to take those rights away, and how it's only getting worse:
Today, we see a renewed attack on the rights of consumers by big business. Overly zealous regulation means that consumers are essentially barred from "unlocking" a cell phone, or severing the device from its original wireless carrier. Critics warn that such restrictions not only limit the rights of consumers but threaten to stifle old-fashioned tinkering and innovation. It is as if Ford told customers that they can't pop the hood of their car and mess around its inner workings (which is how the world got NASCAR, incidentally).It used to be that if you bought something, you owned it. That's a property right. But that's being constantly eroded thanks to the over-aggressive use of copyright. Even worse, many of the worst abusers of this want the best of both worlds. They want to pretend something is a purchase when it benefits them, while arguing that same "purchase" is just a license at other times. It's Schrodinger's copyright. But the end result is the same: copyright is being used to take away basic property rights by hiding it in the fine print.
How far should a phone company's power extend into our personal lives when we buy one of their products? When you buy a phone or an MP3, is it really yours—or has a company just loaned it to you with a laundry list of stipulations and provisos? The age of cloud computing is upon us, and soon most of our books, movies, and musics might have no material form. We may discover that buying something no longer means owning it in any meaningful sense—and our stuff isn't really ours anymore.
And that has massive implications for ownership, economics and innovation. True property rights are key to a functioning economy. But when everything you buy is not actually yours, and you're unable to do what you want with it, then you limit the ability to build up markets and to further innovate. So much innovation comes from someone taking something they've bought, tinkering with it, changing it, improving it, making it useful for other purposes. But in a world where copyright and control rule over all, you limit that kind of innovation, such that only the copyright holder (often not the initial creator) can control that innovation and process. And that rarely ends well.
So, yes, let's talk about property rights and how important they are. But if we're talking about copyright in that context, it needs to be by noting just how far copyright has gone to take away and destroy our basic property rights. And that's something that needs to change.

Painting. Naomi Fuks
A poet who paints her poems with the grace and skill of the great. Each work of her tells, indeed, whisper a story.
With delicate, almost on tiptoe, Naomi gives us frames of images that exist in her eyes and dreams.
With her evanescent figures that scan us almost conscious of being Looked with the merge and overlap of scenes that mark and confusing Space and time, Naomi is an artist who though young, has already her recognizable style and unmistakable.
With her "doing art" she knows what she wants and knows how to communicate.
Surely one of the most interesting proposals in the international art scene.
Roberto Ronca Art curator
