Moduli spaces of spin curves parameterizing roots of canonical bundles
over curves of genus g, are interesting covers of the moduli space of
curves. For instance their enumerative geometry is highly non-trivial and
the generating function of intersection numbers of tautological classes
satisfies differential equations coming from integrable systems.
We discuss the birational and enumerative geometry of the spin moduli
space S_g and prove among other things that the even moduli space of genus
g spin curves is of general type for g>8, while its odd counterpart is of
general type for g>11. We also present evidence that S_8 is a
21-dimensional Calabi-Yau variety.

The head of Scotland's government said the U.S. was wrong to criticize the release of the only man to be convicted in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing and defended the choice to let him go as the "right decision."
The release of ailing Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, who was convicted for the 1988 killing of 270 people on board the aircraft, was met with rage by the victim's families and was seen as "highly objectionable" by President Barack Obama. FBI director Robert Mueller wrote the decision made a "mockery" of the families' grief.
But Scotland defended its decision to spring the terrorist from prison so he could die in his home country.
"I understand the huge and strongly held views of the American families, but that's not all the families who were affected by Lockerbie," Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond told the BCC on Sunday. "As you're well aware, a number of the families, particularly in the U.K., take a different view and think that we made the right decision."

With only this weekend left in the ski season, Mt. Ashland Ski Area officials expect to end the season with about 10,500 more skier visits than last winter.
The ski area expects to close out this season with about 67,000 guest visits, after recording 56,483 visits the previous winter, said Rick Saul, the ski area's development director.
Heavy snow early in the season got the season off to a great start, he said.
"We got off to one of the best starts we've had in the last 20 years. It was a right combination of events," Saul said.
The mountain got 109 inches of snow in December, compared to four inches in December 2011, he said.
The ski area will end the season with 94 operating days — up from 72 days last winter, when the ski area battled numerous closures due to snow, wind and power outages, Saul said.
After a strong December this winter, January and February were average and visitation waned in later months, Saul said.
"Even though we had 100-plus inches of snow and good driving conditions, there were not enough storms to reinvigorate the skiing community," he said, adding that some skiers favor fresh snow.
Mt. Ashland General Manager Kim Clark said the ski area is likely to close out its fiscal year on June 30 with 25 percent more income from operations than it budgeted.
"It's been a good, solid year. We're very happy," Clark said.
For skiers and snowboarders who want to get the most out of the last weekend of the season, Mt. Ashland is offering a special weekend lift ticket.
People ages 13 through 69 can ski both Saturday and Sunday for $75. Two weekend days of skiing for people in that age bracket would normally cost $86.
An inch of snow is expected to fall on the mountain Saturday, and two to four inches are forecast for Sunday, Saul said.
The ski area is in the midst of a spring sale for next winter's season passes. The sale, which ends on April 30, is the cheapest way to get a season pass, according to ski area personnel.
Saul said the sale is going well, with many online orders, plus people are visiting the ski area office at 693 Washington St., in Ashland, to arrange five-month, interest-free financing.
In past years, the ski area has sometimes tacked on a bonus weekend if visitation is high enough on its last scheduled weekend of operations. The ski area won't do that this year because employees are busy working on a new summer project — a remodel of the restaurant and store at Howard Prairie Resort, Clark said.
In a March deal with Jackson County, the Mt. Ashland Association took over operation of the restaurant and store at the resort east of Ashland. The previous concessionaires defaulted on their contract.
The Mt. Ashland Association is also in the midst of a $250,000 fundraiser to pay for a parking-lot expansion, widening of ski runs and re-contouring of the Sonnet slope to make it more friendly for beginners.
The association has gathered $150,000 in donations for that work so far, Saul said, and has enough money to carry out the projects even if it doesn't reach its fundraising goal of $250,000.
Work could begin as early as April 18, he said.
In 2004, the U.S. Forest Service approved a much more ambitious $3.5-million plan to improve and expand the ski area, but the association is not proposing to add new runs and chairlifts at this time.
Ski area officials announced in late 2012 that they would take on more modest projects this spring and summer.

Fast start led to banner year at Mt. Ashland
With only this weekend left in the ski season, Mt. Ashland Ski Area officials expect to end the season with about 10,500 more skier visits than last winter.

Here's something short and sweet and mindnumbingly easy.
I bought these alphabet charms from Michaels a couple weeks back. They're from the Martha Stewart line. Since I love gold and I liked the typeface, and I figured, armed with a 40% off couple, why not?
I decided to make a couple ear cuffs.
- alphabet charms
- ear cuffs
These charms had some seriously strong jump rings--it was hard opening them. You don't need extra jump rings, just use the ones that came with the charm. I'm using brass ear cuffs.
- Open the jump rings on the charms
- Attach the jump ring to the ear cuff
Super easy!

We had more than a few special requests that were met without question and with the warmest welcome anyone could want. We truly felt at home in the castle to take pictures and truly enjoy the facilities. I would highly recommend this place to anyone interested in staying here. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and did not hesitate to make our stay more enjoyable.

We were greeted at our car and our bags were taken to our room, while we sipped champagne and checked in, took a tour of the mansion and settled into our room which had a fruit basket and bottle of champagne. That was followed with afternoon tea and then evening champagne and hors d'oeuvre. The grounds and Inn are beautiful and the rooms are spacious and the staff is more than willing to accommodate your every request. I highly recommend and plan on returning and using the spa, which I heard from other guests was also wonderful.

I took my mother to Buhl Mansion to celebrate her 77th birthday and it was absolutely delightful. I would highly recommend the spa, the staff made us feel like royalty, the mansion was impeccably clean, the food wonderful and the hospitality far exceeded my expectations. The grounds are also breathtaking. If you are looking for a place to have a celebration, feel pampered or give yourself a gift - go to Buhl Mansion! DD

My boyfriend and I stayed for a night visit for our one year anniversary. We were welcomed at the door and they parked our vehicle and took our bags up to our room while we checked in. We were offered champagne right away and had a little tour of the place. We had arrived a bit early so were shown to our room and had some time to get acclimated and ready for our mani/pedis. The room was amazing! I wanted to take it home with us! There was a fireplace, jacuzzi, tv with relaxing music already on, champagne and snacks, down comforters/pillows, and two robes and slippers for us to change into. We headed down to the spa area and had our mani/pedi treatments. I wish I could remember the names of the two ladies we had to recommend because I just loved them! After, we relaxed in the sauna for a bit before "tea time". Tea time was a cute idea where we went back upstairs and served tea and finger foods. We took the time to look around more and enjoy photo albums of previous weddings that were held there. After tea time we headed up to our room and got ready for dinner. There was a brief "champagne toasting" before we left where we met another couple and chatted which was nice. There were many options for dinner. The Tara restaurant, which is recommended, sounded very lovely but we wanted to explore around and decided to walk down to the original Quaker Steak and Lube which was fun. When we got back we had the rest of the night to do whatever we wanted. There was a paper for breakfast options to fill out and leave under the door. We decided to have it room serviced in the morning. After breakfast, we headed down to the steam room then had facials and massages. Again, I wish I could remember all the names of who we had because they were all very friendly and professional. We were served lunch and a dessert right after which was delicious! Checkout time was at noon and we had just enough time to fit everything in perfectly. We loved it here and definitely recommend to visit!

My husband and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary and my birthday at Buhl Mansion. From the moment we entered the mansion until we left the service was 5star all the way. The staff met our every need and desire. The champagne flowed freely all weekend. It was great to be pampered and cared for and the staff did it all with a smile. We will return in the near future for more pampering.

The stay was absolutely amazing, the staff its self made it worth the trip! They were accommodating and so friendly!

My husband and I eloped at Buhl Mansion on July 12, 2013. For 2 nights, we stayed in the Steele Magnet room which was so bright and beautiful. We received a delicious breakfast of our choosing delivered to our room each morning at the time we specified and each afternoon at 4:00 we had high tea with sandwiches and an assortment of cookies. Marci did a fantastic job of arranging our elopement and we received nothing but high-class service from the rest of the staff. Laura was our photographer for our ceremony and the pictures turned out beautiful. There were no hidden costs at check-out. I highly recommend this to Inn to anyone!!

I booked the Buhl Mansion for my fiances birthday, we stayed in the Turret Room. The mansion is a beautiful place to stay. The rooms are well maintained and the staff was fantastic.The grounds were decorated for the holidays, the lights in garden were tastefully decorated and just gorgeous and I would love to go back next year. We stayed the weekend before Christmas 2012 and there were only a few couples staying, it was quiet and wonderful. I have and will continue to recommend the mansion to others. Susan F.

We stayed there on V-day night and checked out the next afternoon. Artist loft was very nice. I opted for the $50.00 plastic rose petals, wine, chocholate deal. Wine was ok and chocholate was just 9 small square pieces but what do you expect for $50, I got it soley for the rose thing anyways. She loved all the roses sprinkled all over the bed and tub. The tub was our favorite part, it was huge. The walls however seems unclean but other than that no complaints what so ever.The staff listens to all you needs. I told them to not put the roses in the room until we got back from eating dinner and they listened. Thank you Staff!!!! You tell the staff you want to go downstairs to the steam room and they will turn it on for ya 20 minutes ahead of time so its all good to go for you. I will definetly go back to this place especially after seeing their other rooms.

My girlfreinds and I have booked spa treatments and rooms for the last seven years and each year has been an absolutely wonderful time!! I know we will continue to go to Buhl!! Rooms and staff are the BEST!!

After leading my girl friend to believe we were camping in the woods near the game commissions staging ground for portable bear traps we were pleasantly amazed to have the top corner "get away" in the Tropical room! We were blessed with a warm sunny fall day...arrived early and were impressed with the simple beauty of the grounds, green house and art gallery/garage. Inside...every area was appointed with the perfect details needed to feel as if we truly were in a palace for an evening. An amazing dinner nearby rounded out the experience that was laced appropriately from beginning to end with courteous and friendly staff who's priority seemed to be to make our stay the easiest and best possible experience. Felt like being allowed to "live in Biltmore" for a day! Galen & Chris

Our stay at the Mansion on Sat. night was outstanding. Your staff was attentive and cordial and never got in the way. We have recommended your B&B to many of our friends. The wife was overcome with romanticism.

We spent the night at the Buhl Mansion to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We were greeted at the door and offered valet parking. We chose to start our stay at the mansion by going to the spa which was an extremely relaxing experience. We were then offered a complimentary glass of champagne or hot apple cider (a delicious adult beverage) prior to being escorted to our room. We stayed in Frank Buhl's room and found our room to be exceptional and our luggage already delivered. We were able to give ourselves a tour of the mansion and could view all of the unoccupied rooms. The attention to detail was superb and the staff always greeted us as "Mr and Mrs". The jacuzzi tub for two was a bonus and the 24-hour access to the steam room, sauna, and monsoon shower made the stay more enjoyable. The architecture of the home is amazing and the restoration makes you honestly believe you are staying at a historic mansion. Afternoon tea was a delightful array of small sandwiches and desserts complimented by a cup of coffee or tea that was delivered to us by the staff. The dinner at Tara was excellent and the turn down service was a nice touch. Breakfast in the morning was offered in the sun room or delivered to your room. We had a great romantic getaway at the Buhl Mansion and will definitely recommend this beautiful bed and breakfast to our friends and family. The cost is moderate to high for the castle escape package (for our budget) but the service is impeccable. We felt the cost could have been slightly less but we would definitely pay the same rate to stay again for the ambiance and the experience. We especially enjoyed the personal touch of the handwritten postcards we received with the welcome tray and the turn down tray. We can definitely see why many couples choose this as a site for their wedding. We are already looking for a time to revisit the Buhl Mansion.

We came to Buhl Mansion for our wedding. The B&B is beautiful. The staff is amazing. We were pampered and treated like royalty! I Understand why Buhl Mansion was voted on the top ten most romantic inns!

My boyfriend and I needed some time away from our kids and jobs. We planned to go see family near Pittsburgh. In doing an internet search for some things to do around the area, I landed on the website for the Buhl Mansion. I didn't have a clue at the time what a blessing this was. We scheduled one night in the Grand Gables room with a 4 hour spa package and dinner at Tara. When we arrived, we were greeted by an amazing staff that didn't allow us to lift a finger the entire stay. On arrival, we were provided with champagne and a brief tour of this amazing, historical facility. We had lunch there as part of the spa package which was very good! The room was incredible! It was clean, comfortable with beautiful furnishings, a super comfy bed and a huge jacuzzi tub. We were welcomed to our room with a try of fruit, snacks and champagne. The spa was very clean and the staff was professional and friendly. Comfortable transportation was provided from Buhl Mansion over to Tara for dinner. I definitely recommend Tara for a meal while you are here. The food was great, the service was very friendly and the portions were huge. With a stay at the Buhl Mansion, you are provided with a 25% off voucher for dinner at Tara which made the price very reasonable. Turn down service was provided, so when we arrived back to the room after dinner, we were welcomed by another tray with chocolates and other little treats. The next morning you can have breakfast in the dining room or breakfast in bed. We opted for breakfast in bed. Again, the food was excellent, the service impeccable and the presentation was beautiful. I feel like my words are inadequate in describing how wonderful our stay was. It truly was a blessing to have had this experience!

My daughter and I had a great stay in this historic, beautifully restored mansion. Everything about it was first class. The rooms are remarkable. The food, service, and downstairs spa facilities were excellent. The park-like grounds are an added pleasure. I think other reviewers have significantly underrated this B&B. Go visit!

I have stayed at 100's of B&B. This is my #1 and will return here! Usually in 28 years we never repeat a stay.

This was our first time going to a bed and breakfast but it felt more like we were the king and queen of our own mansion! Beautiful rooms and outstanding staff.

It is the best B&B we have stayed at. They take your car and bags and have your entire visit planned. No worries about drinking and driving, they supplied the limo!! The spa was great.

This was my first stay at a Bed & Breakfast and I think I'm going to have a hard time finding another that compares. The service was excellent and the accomodations were amazing. Everything was 'top of the line'. It was our 1 year anniversary and we'll remember this weekend forever. We wished we could have stayed longer. Linda B.

My Wife and I stayed at Buhl Mansion for our 25th. Anniversary, and couldn't have chosen a better B&B. Everything was great. Not only do they get all the big things right, they also do so many little things. They make you feel like you really live in this mansion and have a complete staff at you service. And that staff is as helpful and thoughtful as you'll find anywhere. We went in Feb. of 07, and are looking forward to retuning in the spring or summer to see what looked like beautiful grounds. Though they even looked good covered in snow. Dean & Charisse K.

I used to be dead set against anything but Lego in the construction toy department. I had a friend who wasn't as elitist, though. He bought some of the Mega Bloks Dragons line when it came out and showed them to me. I was impressed with the dragons despite myself, although I always hated the light up blocks. They went against every brick building bone in my body but I couldn't deny their supplemental playability...I guess the kind of thing a person might enjoy in action figures like G.I. Joe. I convinced myself to buy some after staring at them on the clearance shelf at wal-mart awhile. The sets were obviously inferior to Lego in virtually every way but their oddly shaped purpose pieces helped the constructions go together...easier? With less thought, planning, and brick-build time investment, certainly. I found that this took away from the whole Lego experience, dimming the creativity involved, but I can't really deny that once you get those bloks forced together they make fairly interesting set pieces. It would take me some time to purpose a Lego castle (which is, in my opinion, still going to be cooler looking due to the clean lines, clever construction techniques, the joy of a job well done, and the lingering feeling of happy you get from being able to play with toys) but I can build a similar Mega Bloks castle in less than a quarter of the time (which makes it more ideal for building a lot of terrain in a pickup game of BrikWars or something similar, god forbid). Recently, out of morbid curiosity, I picked up a small Halo set and, I have to say, I came to the same general conclusion. Mega Bloks has certainly stepped up their game. Maybe because they're getting real licenses? The bloks are devastatingly superior to what they used to be. They still don't begin to approach Lego quality, however, and probably never will. It does take much larger constructions for those little inconsistencies to build up and make further building difficult or impossible. If anything, in sharp contrast to their older and looser style bloks, my chief complaint about the set I bought is that the bloks stick too tightly. Which, again, is good for set pieces or display but not so much for creative building and re-building. As far as the figs are concerned, I'll say that I legitimately like the articulation found in the newer Bloks sets but they'll still never compare to the clean charm of a good minifigure for me, especially not with the Lego Minifigures line in place now.
Overall, I'll use them (or some of them) but only really in a supplementary role to Lego.

Boxed In
19 comments:
Love it! The pink and orange egg shaped box is probably my favorite from the show. Looks like so much fun! Have a bright day!ReplyDelete
The best picture is the one of your beautiful watercolor painting!ReplyDelete
Demel in Vienna has boxes similar to Arnaud Larher's lunchbox style candy boxes, in various sizes for one to several piece of tortes and cakes.
I loved the look of the Villeroy and Boch coffee cups (in your post in the photo before your painting) when they first came out. I bought one to see if I would like them. Well, while it looks very stylish, the ergonomics of the handle's shape did not work well with me. Spills!

Just today while spending time organizing clutter I began wishing that my daughter appreciated packaging: Whenever we gift her, I end up keeping the "paper trash" bc she will throw it away (perish the thought!) and fly off back home. Love your collection, and, of course, your painting.ReplyDelete
What is it about a love of boxes?ReplyDelete
As an artist I appreciate the design and allure of what the boxes contain, etc, that you love to photograph, paint...and oh yes most importantly, open.
But the boxes I personally love are unique cigar boxes, and others of all shapes and textures, and the older and
funkier the better. I usually turn them into "Junk" sculptures.

Love your daily posts and am compelled to comment on two of your most recent patisserie site links - one for pastries with respective photos (attached) and the other which I think is possibly one of the most beautiful sites I've seen especially from France.ReplyDelete
The website which I find so gorgeous is Maison Boissier http://www.maisonboissier.com from your post this morning. Did you have time to actually look through this site? I know you referenced it for their packaging. If not, do spend a few free minutes browsing - it's not to be missed and their shop must be amazing as well.
The other site is http://www.lapatisseriebycyrillignac.com/ - not so much for site design as for their pastries - two of my favorites - Les Religieuses and La Tarte Citron.
Thank you for continuing to add visual stimulation to my mail box every day!
Cigar boxes?ReplyDelete
I don't think so.
Not amidst this bunch of beauties..
Bonjour Carol. Like you, I tend to keep special packaging. I must admit the French know how to wrap things up, and from what I hear, this is a tradition that started as early as the 18th century, during Louis XIV's reign when everything had to be aesthetically pleasant and a fitting representation of French style and taste. I have saved special boxes and bags from companies such as Lancel, Hermes, and many patisseries and chocolatiers in Paris. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete
But of course! Always love your creative images.ReplyDelete
I think I've caught this same bug from you - I'm using chocolate and macaron boxes from Laduree to hold jewelry on my dresser and paperclips etc. on my desk...
I love the boxes, Carol - the colors, the shapes - a lot of imagination!ReplyDelete
I love those chocolates, too :)
I would love to see them all:) I Googled the new NYC Ladurée w/ my daughter last night..she is on a mission in May:)ReplyDelete
So nice..Love boxes too..except Costco boxes.
They make those boxes to pretty to just toss out. I would save them too. Yes!! please show more paintings. :))))ReplyDelete
I love odd shaped boxes, colorful boxes, tea tins, cigar boxes, ones fancy soaps come, totes, too, &other ephemera altho my hubs calls it debris. Use the special ones to store small items in the studio. I collage some & use as gift boxes, others as templates to construct my own box. do show more!ReplyDelete
They are the masters of amazing wrapping and boxes the French, like your birthday everyday here!!ReplyDelete
Looks like you were in your element indulging at the Salon du Chocolat...thanks for the peak inside, such chocolate/croissant/macaroon weather here at the moment doing my best not to over indulge :(

I'm with you... my boites Francaises are some of my favorite souvenirs from Paris!ReplyDelete
It is fabulous. I love you box designs. Thank you so much for sharing this blog.keep postingReplyDelete

Microsoft has posted details on how you will be able to share digital games on your Xbox One console as well as well as outlining the new Home Gold feature for Xbox Live Gold members that will let you share your membership benefits with others..
Marc Whitten, Chief Product Officer at Microsoft, explains that everyone in your home can share digital games with each other. The Xbox One will become a gaming library filled with the titles that different players in the house have purchased. Any player can select any digital game on the Xbox One console, sign in with their gamertag and play.
Additionally, you can share digital games when you are signed into another console and any games purchased on that console will also be available on your home Xbox One console.
As far as Xbox Live Gold is concerned, you will have a new benefit called Home Gold. Home Gold will enable any Xbox Live Gold member on Xbox One to extend many of the Gold membership features to others at no additional cost. Benefits including multiplayer gaming, Game DVR, SmartMatch and access to apps and experiences.
When at home, you can set up your Xbox One home console so anyone who uses that console will enjoy multiplayer gaming and access to entertainment apps regardless if you are logged in or not. Friends and family can create their own account and gamertag and enjoy these features. If they already have a gamertag, all they will need to do is log in and start playing.
While on the go you can log into a friend's console and everyone there can enjoy mutliplayer gaming and access to entertainment apps while you are logged in. Even if your friend isn't a Xbox Live Gold member, once you log into the console they will have access to these features.
If you are currently an Xbox Live Gold member on the Xbox 360, your membership will seamlessly be transferred to the Xbox One. You will still have access to your Gold benefits on either console but Home Gold benefits are exclusively for the Xbox One.

PINOLE — Three men who robbed a liquor store Tuesday evening remain on the loose, and Pinole police are asking for the public's help to find them.
Police said the trio, all believed to be in their 20s, entered the Jay Vee Liquor Store, at 2701 Pinole Valley Road, around 6:55 p.m., and that one of them pointed a short-barrelled, chrome-plated revolver at the clerk. He demanded cash from the register, then ordered the clerk to get on the ground and give up some of his personal property, Pinole police Sgt. Matt Avery said.
The other two grabbed bottles of alcohol during the robbery, Avery said.
The clerk did not fight the demands and emerged unscathed physically, Avery said. Nobody else was in the store when the robbery occurred, he said.
Police believe two of the suspects are of Filipino descent, including the one who pointed the gun, Avery said. One of them was estimated to be between 20 and 21 years old, 5 feet, 6 inches tall and 130-140 pounds, while the other was estimated to be between 20 and 22 years old, 5 feet, 7 inches tall and 140-150 pounds, Avery said. The suspect with the gun was wearing a light blue hoodie over his head, while the other Filipino suspect had a gray hoodie and light-colored pants.
The third suspect was of an unknown race, in his 20s and 5 feet, 6 inches with a tall, thin build, Avery said. He also was wearing a gray hoodie over a white T-shirt and bluejeans, Avery said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Pinole police at 510-724-8950.

Lupus nephritis is a kidney disorder that is a complication of
Alternative Names
Nephritis – lupus; Lupus glomerular disease
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, or lupus) is an autoimmune disease. This means there is a problem with the body's immune system.
Normally, the immune system helps protect the body from infection or harmful substances. But in patients with an autoimmune disease, the immune system cannot tell the difference between harmful substances and healthy ones. As a result, the immune system attacks otherwise healthy cells and tissue.
SLE may damage different parts of the kidney, leading to
Lupus nephritis affects approximately 3 out of every 10,000 people. In children with SLE, about half will have some form or degree of kidney involvement.
More than half of patients have not had other symptoms of SLE when they are diagnosed with lupus nephritis.
SLE is most common in women ages 20 – 40. For more information, see:
Symptoms of lupus nephritis include:
Blood in the urine
- Foamy appearance to urine
- High blood pressure
Swellingof any area of the body
For general lupus symptoms, see the article on
Exams and Tests
A physical exam shows signs of decreased kidney functioning with body swelling (edema). Blood pressure may be high. Abnormal sounds may be heard when the doctor listens to your heart and lungs.
Tests that may be done include:
ANAtiter BUNand creatinine Complementlevels Urinalysis
- Urine protein
This list may not be all-inclusive.
The goal of treatment is to improve kidney function and to delay kidney failure.
Medicines may include corticosteroids or other medications that suppress the immune system, such as cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil, or azathioprine.
You may need dialysis to control symptoms of kidney failure, sometimes for only a while. A kidney transplant may be recommended. People with active lupus should not have a transplant because the condition can occur in the transplanted kidney.
Outlook (Prognosis)
How well you do depends on the specific form of lupus nephritis. You may have flare-ups, and then times when you do not have any symptoms.
Some people with this condition develop chronic kidney failure.
Although lupus nephritis may return in a transplanted kidney, it rarely leads to end-stage kidney disease.
Possible Complications
Acute renal failure Chronic renal failure End-stage renal disease Nephrotic syndrome
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have
If you have lupus nephritis, call your health care provider if you notice
There is no known prevention for lupus nephritis.

Tom Still: Like ice cream and jelly beans, small businesses come in different flavors
The role of small businesses in job creation in the United States is getting overdue attention from federal and state policymakers, thanks, in no small part, to studies that show virtually all net new jobs nationally are born of small, young companies.
By Tom Still
By Tom Still
While encouraging, such figures also come with important qualifiers that politicos should bear in mind as they debate innovative ways to stoke the fires of job creation.
Let's start with the concept of "net" new jobs. In a dynamic economy that is constantly reinventing itself, today's jobs may be part of tomorrow's unemployment line. It has always been that way in a market economy, with new ideas and companies pushing up from below and crowding out older products, services and firms. It's what economists have long described as "creative destruction" or "economic churn."
Of course, many older companies create jobs. Most long-established companies in Wisconsin do so every day. But older companies also tend to shed jobs as they become more efficient, lose ground to competitors or suffer loses during an economic downturn. On balance, job creation among larger U.S. companies has been something of a wash for three decades or more.
Young, small companies create jobs by definition – even if most of them are one-person shops. While the survival rate for young companies isn't universally high, there are enough new companies created every year to keep the process of "creative destruction" humming along.
All small businesses are not created alike, however. There are four basic categories – three of which are not major job creators, nor ever intend to be, and one that more than pulls its weight when it comes to churning out jobs.
"Mom and pop" businesses are classic small businesses – bakeries, beauty salons, restaurants, retail shops and more – that add tremendous value and stability to the economy. But their owners generally don't hang an "Open for Business" sign on Main Street believing they will employ dozens or even hundreds of workers someday. For them, employee growth is a choice, not an imperative.
"Lifestyle" businesses are often launched by people who have taken an avocation, hobby or talent to the next level. Like owners of mom-and-pop operations, the owners of lifestyle businesses aren't typically driven by company growth. They want to be profitable and earn a good living, but they rarely see a bigger workforce as helping them meet those goals.
"Social" businesses are usually the product of an owner's belief system and often start with some sort of greater-good cause in mind, whether it's the environment, health and wellness, working with children, or providing some sort of human service. While staying in business is a goal because that also helps the cause, creating jobs is usually down the list.
"High-growth" entrepreneurs are the type most likely to create jobs because they want to grow – and they believe their products or services are market-disrupters. These are entrepreneurs who say they expect to create 20 or more jobs in five years, who pursue angel and venture capital, and who dream of scaling their young company into tomorrow's Facebook, Google or Home Depot.
The distinction should matter to policymakers. While governments may want to pursue small business policies, that's not necessarily the same as policies focused on high-growth entrepreneurship. Small business policies might concentrate on ensuring access to credit, providing technical assistance and removing outmoded regulations. Entrepreneurship policies could include strategies to encourage availability of early stage capital in high-growth sectors, protect intellectual property, ease technology commercialization from universities and stay in front of new regulations – particularly those that might offer opportunities.
Innovation can be found in all types of companies, large and small, but if national and state policy goals are centered on job creation, it makes sense to tailor some of those policies to high-growth startups that have both the will and the way to grow.

Filmmaker Tanya Hamilton got her debut feature film, the 1970s period piece "Night Catches Us," into the Sundance Film Festival last year. It made its way into theaters. She earned critical acclaim.
"An ambitious debut feature," The Wall Street Journal declared. "Politically sophisticated and ethically serious," said The New York Times. "Remember her name. She's a genuine find," added Rolling Stone.
But the 40-something Hamilton — who spent more than a decade getting her "labor of love" about former Black Panthers "who have ghosts they carry around with them, this past they're afraid of and this fear that they might not be relevant in the future" — realizes that her movie is, to Hollywood, "only as good as the money that you make with it. If you don't make a lot of money, how do you make your next film?"
"Night Catches Us" — despite glowing reviews, despite starring Kerry Washington and Anthony Mackie — has earned only about $60,000 at the box office. It screens Saturday at the Enzian Theater in Maitland and comes out on DVD Feb. 1.
Hamilton's story, she realizes, isn't a unique tale of the struggles of an indie filmmaker. But she was the only black female filmmaker at Sundance last year. And she succeeded in doing something few first-time feature directors pull off — a period piece with political undertones, name stars, a big-name group (The Roots) doing the soundtrack and a theatrical release.
"I wanted to tell a handful of character's stories set against a historical-political backdrop," she says. Mackie ("The Hurt Locker") plays a former Panther who left town after being accused of betraying his comrades to the police but who comes home years later for his father's funeral. Washington ("For Colored Girls," "The Last King of Scotland") plays the widow of a Panther leader killed in a shootout, a single mom and working lawyer who kept her idealism.
"What I found most fascinating was this idea of post-traumatic stress disorder among revolutionaries," Hamilton says. "The people I know like that are very complicated and interesting and layered — neither good nor bad, just interesting."
She set her movie in her adopted hometown of Philadelphia, a city "not known for the Black Panthers" but still with a tortured racial history, whose police force in the '70s and '80s was notorious for being in open conflict with its black community.
Hamilton thought about filming in Washington, D.C., "which I knew better than Philly. But our budget needed a place that didn't look updated since the mid-70s."
They filmed in the Germantown neighborhood — "a historic area, a lovely area, but one in decline. Nobody shoots movies there." Hamilton landed Mackie for her leading man, and because he had worked with Washington before ("She Hate Me"), she signed on, too.
The film's idealism to some degree mirrors that of its filmmaker. Hamilton doesn't want "to take another 10 years to make another movie." But if the project isn't a labor of love, she wonders, "why do it?"
"How do I write a screenplay that balances art and commerce? How do you create a vessel that has your heart and ideas and politics in it and make money with it?"
She doesn't know, but as her debut feature reaches DVD stores, she is pondering that.
"I have a lot of ideas for projects, but I haven't started raising the money for that yet. As long as it takes me, I'll be 90 by the time I'm showing that one at Sundance!

(Reuters) - A family that spent two nights huddled in Nevada's frigid backcountry after crashing their Jeep during an outing to play in the snow tried unsuccessfully to get the attention of rescuers flying overhead by setting fires, they said on Monday.
James Glanton told NBC's Today Show that during his family's ordeal this month he twice saw small planes overhead, but the fires he lit using the overturned vehicle's spare tire and nearby vegetation failed to attract the rescuers' notice.
"I had a lot of white smoke, but it was surrounded by snowy mountains which made it kind of difficult to see, I guess," said Glanton, 34.
Glanton and his girlfriend, Christina McIntee, 25, had taken their two young children and McIntee's niece and nephew on a trip to an abandoned mining camp in the Seven Troughs range in northwestern Nevada when they hit a patch of ice and their Jeep overturned, Glanton said.
"It was a really slow-motion rollover," Glanton said. "It didn't even shatter the window."
When the group failed to return home on the evening of December 8, a wide-scale rescue operation was launched, backed by helicopters and airplanes. Fears grew for the group's fate, with unseasonably cold temperatures plunging to minus 21 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 29 Celsius) overnight.
Stranded in the wilderness and equipped with matches, lighters and magnesium fire starter, along with a limited supply of food and water, the group elected to remain together with the children and the vehicle, Glanton said.
"We figured our best chance was with the Jeep because it was the most visible rather than just a single person walking out in the wilderness," Glanton said.
Last Tuesday, a volunteer rescuer using binoculars spotted the couple's vehicle in a gravel pit about 17 miles from the town of Lovelock. Rescuers credited the group's survival in large part to the family hunkering down together instead of setting out in search of help.
McIntee said that the children, identified by authorities as Shelby Schlag-Fitzpatrick, 10, Tate McIntee, 4, and Evan and Chloe Glanton, aged 5 and 3, had remained calm during the ordeal and were "awesome."
But McIntee said she grew fearful on the second day in the wintry wilderness as the group's food supplies dwindled.
"I don't think we would have lasted another two days," she said.
Asked whether it was wise to drive into the rugged and snowy Nevada backcountry, Glanton explained that the outdoors were a primary source of recreation for the couple and the children.
"We don't have anything in the way of entertainment besides the hills," he said. "That's what we do. That's where we live."

Talk:Fedora Core 4 Installation Guide
The livna.org package is a 3rd party installer. If the person feels it is worthy enough, why don't they work with ATI to create a better installer for all of us? I do not feel that it should stay at the top because it is from a 3rd party. The true source of the driver (ATI.com) needs to be shown before hand. "Security by obscurity" doesn't work, what makes you think "download by obscurity" will?
For me, the ATI script installer is the easiest and has worked every time. My xorg.conf file is a default file (no ATI configuration what-so-ever in the DEVICE field). With aticonfig... the livna package is dated and not really needed.
This is assuming that the ati installer works. It's obvious you don't use a 64 bit distro with a 2.6.16 or newer kernel as the installer simply does not compile the kernel module for those kernels. ATI hasn't fixed this for at least the last 2 driver releases as well as there being kernel module compiling issues on previous kernels.

Control system integrators confident about automation industry outlook in 2013
Two-thirds of respondents in global survey expect revenue growth.

The results of a global survey indicate the majority of independent system integration companies are optimistic about the automation industry's prospects in 2013.
Conducted jointly by J.P. Morgan and the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA), the first-ever survey of system integrators reached out to nearly 1,800 professionals worldwide in the automation and control industry. The results suggest that more manufacturers will look to experts like CSIA members for help in managing risk and automating their industrial equipment and systems.
Key findings include:
• 69% of system integrators expect revenue growth this year. One-quarter of those look for gains of 15% or more.
• 85% believe demand for integration services will increase or remain steady in 2013.
• More than 70% say projects that had been delayed or cancelled will resume if there is no negative change in economic trends.
• Among the industries driving the activity are automotive, oil and gas, food and beverage, chemicals and energy.
One of the survey's participants is Bill Pollock, CEO of Optimation, a full-service integrator employing 500 people across 12 international locations and capable of handling projects from concept to completion. With customers such as Kodak, Wegmans Food Markets, Halliburton and 3M, Pollock said Optimation expects growth in line with the overall survey responses.
Pollock said he has seen growth in all global markets, but noted an increased return of manufacturing to the United States from Mexico and China. Between a strong dollar exchange and the influences of labor and shipping costs, domestic manufacturing is becoming more appealing, he said.
After Optimation was founded as a software provider, Pollock said its customers' desire for one-stop shopping has driven Optimation to become full-service providers, from design to fabrication to installation.
Pollock said he didn't see many delays or cancellations until December. "There was a certain amount of 'wait and see' as we approached the fiscal cliff," he said. "That softness around year end hasn't quite been overcome. Businesses are still trying to figure out how to play the game given this set of rules."
Robert Lowe, executive director of the CSIA, said the numbers were promising, but he had his concerns. "A number of projects were put on hold during the global slowdown in industrial production," Lowe said. "As a result, our integrator members are seeing pent-up demand that will release as projects come back on line."
He looked to the next survey, to be conducted in March, for indications that delayed projects would resume. Lowe said he was also surprised by responses that showed a low level of interest in manufacturing execution systems (MES). "Business intelligence is important, and relies on MES, but customers don't seem to be embracing it."
Overall, Lowe said that despite some concerns about inflation in 2014, CSIA members report business conditions are generally good, and there is optimism in the industry for the coming year. "Control system integrators play an increasing role in the delivery of automation due to end-users reducing staffs and their desire for independent views of potential solutions," Lowe said. "About 15% of all automation and software is implemented by independent integrators. As a result, CSIA has become a valuable resource for end-users looking for integrators."
Another survey participant and CSIA member, Ken Merrill, is engineering manager for Winchester Industrial Controls. Merrill said the company expects to again grow by 20% in 2013 and its 25 employees specialize in materials handling projects. Merrill said he has seen an increase in the number of retrofits and upgrades, and compared the trend to the automotive industry. "When the economy gets tough, car sales slump but parts sales pick up," said Merrill, who suggested his customers' selective and targeted spending patterns might not fully recover for a few more years. "There's interest even among those companies that might not be thriving to still make process improvements. As technology evolves, there's always a way to do something faster and cheaper."

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Philippines wants an international tribunal to issue a decision as quickly as it can on a Manila complaint that questions the legality of China's massive South China Sea claims because the disputes continue to escalate.
Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said late Tuesday that the Philippines would ask its lawyers to petition the Arbitral Tribunal in the Hague, the Netherlands, to issue an earlier ruling after China said it would not get involved in the case, which should shorten the arbitration proceedings.
"I am hoping we could get something by next year ... because China is not participating and because the situation is getting worse every day in the South China Sea," del Rosario told reporters.
After China took effective control of a disputed shoal, the Philippines early last year started the tribunal process that questioned the validity under international law of China's so-called "nine-dash line" claim, a rough demarcation of its territory on its official maps that virtually envelopes most of the South China Sea.
Philippine officials have said a tribunal decision may take three to four years.
Even with the pending legal challenge, China has continued to expand and fortify its claims, including reclaiming land in disputed reefs that can be turned into offshore military bases, possibly with airstrips, del Rosario said.
In early May China deployed an oil rig guarded by dozens of escort ships in waters also claimed by Hanoi, igniting sea confrontations and anti-China protests in Vietnam.
The tribunal has given China until Dec. 15 to submit written arguments and evidence against the Philippine complaint, but Beijing said it would not join the arbitration proceedings.
Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan also have had overlapping territorial claims in the South China Sea which have sparked confrontations. There have been fears the conflicts, including a dispute between Japan and China in the East China Sea, could spark an armed conflict, although analysts say a major fight is unlikely.
The Philippines recently sought a moratorium on construction and other expansion activities in the disputed areas by rival claimant countries, but China has dismissed that, insisting it has had sovereign rights over most of the disputed waters since ancient times.
Filipino air force officials, meanwhile, said Wednesday they plan to repair a portion of a partly-eroded airstrip on a Philippine-occupied island in the disputed Spratly Islands, adding that preparatory dredging work may start this year so ships carrying construction materials can dock there.
The repairs are meant to ensure the safety of aircraft using the gravel strip, air force officials said, after the Chinese foreign ministry said the Philippines planned to construct a "world-class" airport on the island, called Pag-asa by Filipinos and Zhongye by the Chinese. The island is home to a small Filipino village and is the second-largest in the area. Taiwan occupies the biggest island in the Spratlys.

Our value chain
The mineral bauxite is the starting point for production of aluminium metal
Aluminium is the third-most abundant element in the earth's crust. It is found in different types of minerals. Bauxite is the primary raw material for refining aluminium oxide, or alumina, which is used to produce primary aluminium metal. Bauxite deposits are mainly found in a wide belt around the Equator.
Alumina is refined bauxite and is a raw material for making aluminium
The raw material required for the production of primary aluminium is aluminium oxide, or alumina, a white powder refined from bauxite. To produce one tonne of aluminium in an electrolytic reduction process requires approximately two tonnes of alumina.
A large amount of electricity is needed to produce aluminium metal
The aluminium electrolytic process requires electric energy, about 13 kWh per kilo aluminium produced in modern production lines. Energy accounts for roughly a third of the cost of production of aluminium. Therefore, an important factor is long-term supplies of energy at affordable prices.
The production of primary aluminium takes place in large production lines
Pure aluminium is made from the alumina by a process carried out in electrolytic cells, where a carbon cathode placed in the bottom of the cells acts as an electrode. The anodes, also made of carbon, are consumed during the electrolytic process when the anode reacts with the oxygen in the alumina. Molten aluminium is tapped from the cells.
Other metals are added to the molten aluminium to form various foundry alloys
Molten aluminium is tapped from the pots and cast into logs, rolling slabs or ingots, depending on whether further processing is extruding, rolling or remelting. Small quantities of other metals can be added to the liquid aluminium to produce foundry alloys of different durability and tensile strengths.
Aluminium can be processed
in a cold and hot condition
Aluminium is ductile. Foil can be rolled to only 0.007 mm thickness, but will still be completely impermeable and lets neither light, aroma nor taste substances in or out. The metal itself forms a protective oxide coating and is highly corrosion resistant. Different types of surface treatment can further improve these properties.
Aluminium can be extruded and shaped into a variety of tubes and profiles
Aluminium ingot is heated and pressed through shaping tools, to make profiles for various products. Aluminium is increasingly taking over from copper as preferred metal for tubing in heat exchangers and air conditioners. There is no end to what shapes aluminium end products can take.
Only your imagination can limit the use of aluminium
Windows, car parts, doors, tubes, façade panels, cans… Hydro is the industry leader in many product areas for aluminium, especially in transport, buildings, packaging and lithographic plates. And in the end, the used product can be recycled – again and again.

In the first video, she leads viewers from satellite data collection through obtaining a time series of monthly Arctic and Antarctic average sea ice extents for November 1978-December 2016. In the second video, she begins with the time series from the first video, removes the seasonal cycle by calculating yearly averages, and proceeds to calculate the slopes of the lines to get trends in the data, revealing decreasing sea ice coverage in the Arctic and increasing sea ice coverage in the Antarctic. In the third video, she uses a more advanced technique to remove the seasonal cycle and shows that the trends are close to the same, whichever method is used. She emphasizes the power of math and that the techniques shown for satellite sea ice data can also be applied to a wide range of data sets. Note: See Related & Supplemental Resources for the maps and data files (1978-2016) that will allow you to do the calculations shown in the video.
