The Easter Bunny Came!
My Easter bunny wears glasses and a tie (and smokes a pipe)... what?!? you say, that's absurd? Go take a look at Ken Steacy and imagine a bunch of fantastic old illustrations arriving via your email from him and you'll get the idea. Ken generously contributed these awesome visuals by Noel Sickles and Fred Freeman out of the blue the other day. What an amazingly tasty Easter treat - and less fattening!
Be sure to spend a little time perusing his wares and maybe treat yourself to one of his fantastic collections of illustrative confections. Happy Easter!

Hi Leif,ReplyDelete
Thanks to you and my pal Ken for this great post. I hadn't seen the Noel Sickles Life spreads before but they immediatley looked very familiar. It appears clear that this was the direct influence for Wally Wood's "Is a Trip to the Moon Possible?" Mad parody from soon after. Keep up the excellent work!
Thanks, Glen - I wasn't aware of the Wally Wood Mad parody but I sure did see the similarity to Wood's space scenes in general. If only we could know who influenced whom...ReplyDelete
Leif, now I'm going to have to start checking TI on weekends too! When will it ever end?ReplyDelete
Noel Sickles is about as close as I've seen to a natural born, god given draftsman-- he did absolutely beautiful work from the very beginning (his locomotive drawing in your Flickr set-- number .08-- is simply stunning).
I have had the privilege of seeing these space drawings up close. Illustration House in New York was selling them many years ago. I did not have two nickels to rub together back them, but I thought long and hard about robbing a bank just to get these pictures. The Life magazine reproduction diminishes the originals in unforgivable ways. These are really first class drawings! Thanks, Leif!
Wow - what a thrill it must have been to see those pieces in person, David!ReplyDelete
My thanks once again to Ken for sharing them with us all.
That darn Ken, he's a great guy. I am looking forward to hosting him again and staying up late talking. I hope he brings me some illustrated goodies too!ReplyDelete
I am looking forward to a visit from Ken this summer, Stan - should be quite the experience!ReplyDelete

Higher commodity prices and lower farm payments in the future make current U.S. farm policy the low cost budget option and the most WTO compliant, former U.S. House Agriculture Committee Chairman Larry Combest (R-TX) told the USA Rice Outlook Conference attendees on Dec. 5.
"The 2002 farm bill (that critics) deplore so much has already saved an estimated $17 billion and is expected to rack up even more savings next year and beyond if current policy is maintained," Combest said. "Compare this to just earlier this year when some predicted that the 2002 farm bill would somehow spend so much in 2006 and 2007 that it would wipe out any previous savings."
"Maintaining current farm policy is the fiscally responsible thing to do because it is the low cost option," said Combest, who was ranked among the most conservative of House members.
Combest also cast doubt about the renewal of Trade Promotion Authority and of a WTO agreement, adding that current farm policy is the most WTO compliant.
"It will be a very tough sell for foreign competitors to argue (in a WTO case) that farm payments which are low, or not even being paid out in some cases, can somehow cause them serious prejudice," he said.
Combest also urged environmentalists to fund renewable fuels research and development to promote crop diversification rather than to attack farm policy, and said fruit and vegetable farmers and conservation would both be harmed by tighter pay limits.
"How can (critics) be for conservation and fruits and vegetables, but then advocate (pay limit) policies that lock both out of farm policy?" Combest asked.
The so-called "equity" argument used by critics against farm policy would drive the farm budget higher because the current budget is too low to meet new needs, Combest said.
"Not one new need identified since 2002 in any way, shape, or form reduces or eliminates a single need in rural America that we worked to address in 2002," he said, "so I believe a budget increase for the farm bill is absolutely unavoidable."
Combest, who chaired the House Intelligence Committee, called on the administration and Congress to heed the advice of former CIA Director James Woolsey who has stressed the need to aggressively pursue domestically produced renewable fuels rather than rely on Middle East oil, the proceeds of which can be used to fund terrorism.
"My hope is that the administration and the Congress will see that (they) can more positively reduce the cost of farm policy – which has already been a bargain – by increasing investment in an energy title or an energy bill than by making cuts to the farm bill that would hurt our economy, reduce our competitiveness in the world, and cost us good paying American jobs."

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Confidence in the euro zone's economy fell further in April, data showed, strengthening the case for a cut in interest rates this week by the European Central Bank.
The euro zone is facing a difficult road out of recession and has seen a souring of the mood among companies and consumers since March, after an optimistic start to the year was disrupted by turmoil in Cyprus and Italy.
Morale in the 17-country bloc slipped 1.5 percentage points to 88.6, the European Commission said on Monday - worse than the decline to 89.3 expected by economists polled by Reuters.
"We are reaching a trough and the market is betting on the ECB cutting rates to lift the economy," said Steen Jakobsen, chief economist at Saxo Bank. "But lower interests won't solve the euro zone's problems, we need structural reforms and for businesses to invest again."
Pessimism set in even in Germany, which has performed better than most during the crisis, with economic sentiment there worsening by 2.3 points. Morale also fell in France and Italy, meaning the euro zone's three largest economies are all witnessing a marked decline in the confidence that is crucial in getting the output in the euro zone growing again.
Confidence fell across the region from industry to retail trade, and sentiment in services fell 4.1 percentage points.
The Commission's measure of the euro zone's business cycle decreased 0.18 points to -0.93, lower than the -0.89 level expected by economists.
Many expect the ECB to cut interest rates to lower the cost of borrowing and help improve morale.
A majority of economists expect a 25 basis point cut this Thursday, according to a Reuters poll last week, to take the bank's main refinancing rate to a record low of 0.5 percent.
Germany's economic resilience and reforms in southern Europe sowed hope early this year that the bloc could pull out of recession before the end of 2013, but a messy bailout in Cyprus and Italy's inconclusive February election, which failed to yield a government until late April, have weighed on confidence.
France's weak economy and public accounts are also a concern.
Meanwhile, budget cuts have been at the centre of the euro zone's strategy to overcome a three-year public debt crisis but they are also blamed for a damaging cycle where governments cut back, companies lay off staff, Europeans buy less and young people have little hope of finding a job.
Crippling levels of unemployment and outbreaks of violence in southern Europe are now forcing a rethink, but there is division on just how far to soften the targets.
"If the ECB eases monetary policy and the European Commission engineers a slower pace of fiscal consolidation, the euro zone economy may still exit from recession later this year," Martin van Vliet, an economist at ING.
"But the fragility of confidence suggests that any economic recovery would likely be slow, and largely confided to the core countries," he said.
Spain, the euro zone's fourth largest economy, said last week its economy would shrink more than initially expected this year and its budget deficit would be higher than promised.
Growth should return next year, and economic sentiment improved by almost 1 point, the Commission said, in a sign that despite record unemployment, reforms may be helping business.

Reliability a worry for Red Bull admits Webber
- Race:
- United States Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Mark Webber
- Teams:
- Red Bull
Mark Webber admitted his retirement with alternator failure after 17 laps of the US Grand Prix would add to the ongoing worries over reliability within the Red Bull team.
But for those issues Sebastian Vettel would have already secured his third drivers' championship and team boss Adrian Newey admitted the alternator issue was like "a ticking time bomb ... you never know when it will strike".
Webber was in third in Austin when his Red Bull coasted to the side of the track. "It was the alternator ultimately in the end," he said. "So we lost the batteries on the car, we lost KERS, we lost our gearbox sync.
"The laps before I retired I was in trouble and we knew it was a long way home from there. It's disappointing to lose a very good result here today for myself and the team, and for sure there are more nerves about our reliability."

Please Pray
I'm asking my lovely blogging friends to say a prayer for us. We have been completely flooded - some homes on campus have 4 foot of water in them and no electricity. We are blessed to live on a hill so our home is fine. The road right outside out house has been flooded across since yesterday so there is no way in or out.
Many people have MAJOR damage and a few have lost their lives. Please pray for our town and the people trying to help everyone. The is meant to be up to 7 more inches of rain later today!
Thanks friends,

Launch-Tel necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 226 diseños de 53 diseñadores freelance.
Launch Telecom
I have been working in the Telecom Industry for 10 years now and I am about to start my own company incorporating everything I have learned. I am someone who truly believes in quality and I plan to deliver that with my new company. My new company will be a reseller of international long distance voice services. We resell voice services in developing countries throughout the world to larger carriers who don't have access to those. We are a young, vibrant company with a fresh view on the telecom industry. We will be using state of the art IP equipment, which reduces power consumption and has a much smaller physical presence than equipment in the past without sacrificing any of the quality. We are dedicated to doing everything right in the beginning and that includes the branding of the company.
Larger telecom companies such as Sprint, Verizon, Deutsche Telekom, Vonage. Smaller mobile providers across the globe. Governments in developing countries.
The two things I am trying to show with the branding is Fresh, forward thinking and quality driven. I am really looking to present an image that we are already a large company. I have seen too many companies in this industry with terrible logos that when I see a really sharp one I think that this company has it together. If I have to present to a large company, I want them to get a feeling that even though they haven't heard of this company the overall feel is great. Sharp color selection and Font type is imperative. I would prefer the logo use some abstract design that is somewhat simple with a smooth flow and have the name next to it. I want the focus to go to the name Launch. The word Telecom should not be a huge part of the logo and maybe not be a part of it at all. I want to be referred to as Launch and not Launch Telecom. The colors that I really like are:
Blue- More grey blue than navy and not bright
Grey- for the lettering
I am open to other color variations as well, so you don't have to limit it to those, if I see one I like I will let you know.
I also need a business card design. Something fresh looking for this as well. I am very fond of the ones with rounded corners.
I look forward to seeing all of your designs. Good luck.

selectpayments necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 15 diseños de 3 diseñadores freelance.
ACHcard is a new payment card for the merchants to provide as customer cards. Customers can not only pay for purchases using ACHcard but also benefit from many rewards and discounts. ACHcard costs 80% less to process.
We want ACHcard to be a fun payment alternative that comes with many additional benefits to both the merchants and their customers.
The target audience is any merchants that have ongoing relation with their customers/clients/members/students/subscribers. Some of the merchants may include retail stores, schools and training centers, chain stores, non-profit organizations, gas stations, print publishers, and many more.
Basically any business that have recurring billing needs would highly benefit from providing ACHcard to their target market.
2-page flyer that can be saved as a pdf file and sent to merchants as an email attachment. The goal is to have a fun, clean, easy-to-follow flyer that includes all the information that we want to provide to the merchants. We like to give the info in blocks instead of one long text so that it is easy to read without getting lost in it. Since the logo is green, the color palette should be something to match but we are flexible with it. You may visit our website at http://achcard.com/ach/ which is under construction but it should give you an idea about our design taste.
We have also included additional content in the attachment to use as needed for the available space but all of it doesn't have to be used.

Children of Llullaillaco Sacrificed with Alcohol
The article notes, "Hundreds of people packed a museum in Salta, Argentina, to see 'la Doncella' -- Spanish for 'the Maiden' -- a 15-year-old girl whose remains were found in 1999 in an icy pit on Llullaillaco volcano, along with a 6-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy. Scientists believe the so-called Children of Llullaillaco were sacrificed more than 500 years ago in a ceremony marking the annual corn harvest. Dressed in fine clothes and given corn alcohol to put them to sleep, the victims were then left to die at an elevation of 22,080 feet."
Central and South American cultures were well known for using human sacrifice. Most of the victims did not die peaceful deaths. At least three children had an easy death passing out in the cold.
To keep the mummy preserved, the museum is pumping in chilled air through a low-oxygen atmosphere. There is a lot to preserve. Her face still shows the red pigment which was on her face. Around her mouth there are flecks of coca leaf, which is chewed by highland Indians to blunt the effects of altitude. I could not find a public domain copy of the mummy so I have not posted it here. However, it is well worth clicking through to read this article at CNN were a copy of the photo is included.

Indeed we live in a diverse world in terms of everything.
I didn't consider the Incan scarifices to be wrong because I do not have the right to judge them based on my own cultural biases.

"I didn't consider the Incan scarifices to be wrong because I do not have the right to judge them based on my own cultural biases."
If that is the case, we have no right to judge southern Americans in the 18th and 19th century for owning slaves or to judge the Nazis for killing millions in the Holocaust. That is just our own culutural bias don't you know.
Being accepting of other cultures and not juding them by your own standards is noble. Accepting human sacrifice is not. It is OK to draw the line at murder.

we are looking to replace our current AV solution. We have found a few we want to test but I need some suggestions for testing. Does anyone know if there is a site the will show the success/failure of a AV product to detect a virus.
I am temped to load a few VMs and try to find some virus out that just to see if the AVs we are looking at will catch them. Years ago when MS released antigen my co works ran the same test and the MS product didn't catch anything. So they went with Sep. I don't mind to run the test again but if there is a site that is already doing something like this I don't want to wast my time.

Lincoln Fire and Rescue (LFR) reminds residents to focus on fire prevention and safety over the upcoming holiday season. Each year, fires claim the lives of over 400 Americans, injure1,650 more and cause more than $930 million in damage. To focus attention on holiday fire safety, LFR and two local children will rescue Santa from a roof at SouthPointe Pavilions the evening of Saturday, November 28. This year's event is part of radio station B107's "Christmas Wish" program.
LFR offers the following holiday fire safety tips:
To protect children in the home, LFR also recommends cutting branches off the bottom of natural trees. Ribbons and sharp or breakable glass ornaments should be kept out of the reach of children.

Wemimo worked on Obama's re-election campaign and subsequently submitted an application to be part of the inauguration. Approximately 50,000 similar applications were submitted.
Wemimo is set to graduate from UMC in the spring.

I was delighted when they picked #1 which (all along) was my favorite. It had to be fun and colorful and funky (after all, those are sort of my signatures I figured) so I started pulling fabrics (and buttons) and fusing my heart out:
Eventually, I ended up with the finished product:
And here are some close-ups:
And here I am with a nice profile story right in the magazine:
And here is the cover with my wall hanging on the top far right corner:
I'm telling you, this experience was one of the highlights of my year! I LOVED it!!! And how I shut up about it for 7 months I'll never know! I usually can't keep a secret overnight. LOL And, for all of you in the US, someone told me that this magazine is available at the big JoAnn superstores, so in a week or two go get yourself a copy. (It's not there yet...I checked.

As captain she enjoyed bonding with the underclassmen and setting the school record in the 500 freestyle. She graduated as an Academic All-American. In addition to swimming, Laura was co-editor of her high school yearbook and received a National Merit Scholarship. At Yale, Laura is a Chemistry major, works in the Schepartz Chemical Biology Lab, and is a Science and Quantitative Reasoning Tutor. Laura has been a consolation finalist in the 500 free for the past three years at the Ivy League Championships. She has finished in the top 16 every year in the 1000, last year capturing 10th place. Laura has consistently improved her mile as well, moving up from top 16 her freshman year to the top 8 her sophomore and junior years, last year finishing 5th.

Fred J needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 94 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
Native Pharm
We are a young couple starting our first of hopefully many online stores that appeal to niche audiences. We hope that Native Pharm gives people looking for all-natural products a place to find all of their drugstore products.
Our target audience consists of health- and/or environment-conscious consumers. Native Pharm will sell drugstore products that fall into one or more of the following categories: all-natural, eco-friendly, organic, and vegan.
1) Native Pharm needs to be a trusted brand, so we're looking for something sleak and classy (i.e. no cartoons).
2) Since we are an all-natural, environmentally friendly company, we would like green to be the primary color.
3) The logo should include the following two lines:
"All-Natural Drugstore"
"Good for the Earth. Good for You."
4) We would like the background of the logo to fade in as you go down (like the MojaMix logo below). We were thinking a fade to a very light green or very light gray, but feel free to experiment with other colors
Here's are a couple of examples of logos we like:

Deborah Weiner is living proof that the road to achieving journalistic excellence can run through your own hometown.
Deborah co-anchors WBAL-TV 11 News weeknights at 6 and 11 p.m. and reports with the 11 News I-Team.
Since 1991, Deborah has covered Maryland like few others, receiving numerous Emmy awards for in-depth and investigative reporting, along with the prestigious Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award.
Born in Pikesville, Deborah attended The Park School. She is a 1986 graduate of Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. Deborah earned her Master's Degree from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University.
Deborah's first television job was at WYFF-TV, WBAL's sister station in Greenville, S.C. In 1991, she moved back home to Baltimore to report for WBFF-TV.
In 1994, ABC News hired her as a correspondent, during which time she covered the Clinton administration and Capitol Hill for the network's local affiliates. She also reported for "Good Morning America" and "World News Tonight" weekend editions.
In 1997, Deborah returned to Baltimore as WBFF's main anchor. While she left the station after the birth of her second child, in-depth journalism never strayed far from Deborah's heart.
In May 2002, Deborah joined WBAL-TV 11's special projects unit and the WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team, working on in-depth and investigative reports, as well as covering Maryland politics.
In April 2012, Deborah and her colleagues produced a special documentary, "Rebounding From Loss," which followed a Baltimore high school basketball team after the tragic loss of one of their players.
When not working, Deborah's proudest accomplishment is her family. She lives in Baltimore City with her husband and two children.

Bioethics, cyber ethics, and euthanasia; civil rights, human rights, and women's rights; health care, social welfare, and separation of church and state; third world debt relief and immigration. What do these issues have in common? Each raises issues of public policy that stand astride the boundaries of law, religion, and ethics.
The Interdisciplinary Program in Law and Religion at Catholic University's Columbus School of Law was created in 1985 with funds from the Henry R. Luce Foundation. Our mission is to explore the relationship of law to religion, and of religion to public policy, through interdisciplinary research, conferences, and publications, and to train law students and lawyers by developing course and continuing professional education materials, and by arranging clinical placements for students and pro bono volunteer opportunities for practicing lawyers.
The range of national and international issues where policy touches on law, religion, and ethics is very broad. It includes complex legal problems affecting religious freedom and belief, like maintaining the independence and distinctive character of churches, synagogues, mosques, and religious associations whose religious identity is threatened by increasingly pervasive, and sometimes hostile, government regulation. It also include eminently practical problems involving comparative law and legal systems, such as the organizational structure of Islamic banks and charities, or the ability of civil courts to hear evidence concerning the ways in which Jewish, Islamic, or Canon Law might affect a civil contract or property case. Freedom of speech, press, peaceable assembly, and petition for redress of grievances are key concerns in the United States and around the world because citizen action and advocacy is often rooted in religious ethics. International human rights norms forbidding all forms of discrimination based on religion, national or ethnic origin, and culture round out what is, for lawyers and clients alike, a fascinating field of law.
In keeping with the view that law is inherently interdisciplinary, the faculty members and clinical placement supervisors working with the Program seek, first, to understand the specific interests and goals of each student. We then work with each student to develop a strategy that matches those interests. We do this by tailoring a schedule of upper-division courses, clinical placements, and directed research into a tightly integrated program of studies that will give students a realistic sense of practice in this challenging, and somewhat specialized, field of law. Students who have struggled with the question, "How can I use my skills as a lawyer to be of service to my community?" are placed in law firms, the legal and policy offices of nongovernmental organizations, and government agencies, including Congress, where they can get front-line, clinical experience and apply theory to practice. Law students interested in philosophy, theology, and comparative religion are welcomed, and given a wide range of opportunities to learn more about the practical utility of these subjects in law practice and policy making.
The Program also provides continuing-education programs, informational materials and practical resources for lawyers, public policy specialists, health and social service professionals, educators, clergy, church administrators, and others with an interest in law, religion, and ethics. Scholars associated with the Program also collect, catalogue and disseminate research data to scholars, educators, practitioners, legislators, and courts. Our Marriage Law Project, Middle East Dialogue Series, and USAID-sponsored Interfaith Cooperation Initiative in Israel and Palestine provide good examples of the opportunities we offer for involvement in litigation, public policy research, interfaith dialogue, and domestic and international public policy development.

Un gagnant a été sélectionné de 6 designs proposés par 5 designers freelance.
I have a template for posting apartments on craigslist, I want you to make it look much better!
I would like my craigslist template redesigned to look at lot better then it does now. I currently have a craigslist template for posting ads to craigslist. I would like to make it look much better.
At the end of the contest I will need the HTML for the Template.
Here are some examples of what my template looks like right now. Make sure you click around a bunch of them because some ads have more information then others
Also, it is worth mentioning that if I find someone who does excellent work, I will hire you to do additional work for my firm.
- A place for the Real Estate Office's (REO) contact information, has to be near or at the top of template.
- A place for the REO's Logo. The current template does not have a space for this. The new template should still look good if no logo is provided.
- A place for important information about the apartment for rent (Beds, Baths, Rent, Date Available
- A place for the apartment description
- A link to find more ads from the same REO
- A place to list features about this apartment (Dishwasher, AC, Porch, etc)
- A place to put pictures. In the current template they are all small images. I would be interested in seeing designs that have one large prominent image and space for serveral other small thumbnails
- A place for the MBTA information.
- I would like you guys to play around with different approaches, mainly this needs to be a very user friendly template, the important information should be clear and easy to see. The most important questions are usually "Who do I contact/call to see this apartment?" and "What is the rent/beds/baths/data available for this apartment"
- Also, currently the features list takes up a lot of space. Maybe there is a way to take up less space and still be clear?
- The same goes for the MBTA information, maybe there is a way to remain clear but take up less space...
- Color, Color, Color: I have seen many other professional looking template that make excellent use of color, to look attractive and professional but also help highlight and separate groups of important information.
- Item 1...

Xenergy Tangerine Twister
Welcome to Day Two of Xenergy Review Week. Today, we review one of Xenergy's newest flavors: Tangerine Twister.
A few months ago, Xyience, the company that manufactures Xenergy, removed Cherry Rush and Orange Fuel from their line-up and added Tangerine Twister and Melon Mayhem (To be reviewed on Friday). For the record: I have still seen Cherry Rush in Canada and even Orange Rush is still being sold in the US. But onto Tangerine Twister. I have to say it is a very unique flavor. And I mean that in a good way. I could tell there was a tangerine flavor in there, but it also tasted like there was a little vanilla as well. I know a number of you will find it strange to combine those two flavors, but I felt they complimented each other, just like Xenergy's Blu Pomegranate flavor (formerly Blu Pom) and their flagship flavor, Cran Razz, which is still on the market.
So I say give Tangerine Twister a shot. It may not be for everyone, but you never know until you try. Also, please check out the Xyience website! Friday's review: Melon Mayhem!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Boris Epshteyn formerly served as a Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and served in the White House as Special Assistant to The President and Assistant Communications Director for Surrogate Operations.
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - I am so sick and tired of the inaction in Congress. Remember DACA?
That is the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Democrats shut down the government in January because Republicans had not offered a solution on what to do about the illegal immigrants who came here as children and are eligible for DACA.
Since then, President Trump has extended an olive branch. He proposed a path to citizenship for all those who are eligible for DACA as long as Congress ends chain migration, ends the visa lottery and provides real funding for border security.
Immigration reform, including DACA, was debated in the Senate. None of the four proposed measures were passed.
Now, DACA may be caught up in the courts until spring or summer of next year, 2019. That is when the Supreme Court will rule on whether the president is allowed to end DACA.
We have seen that Congress rarely acts without a deadline. There have been two government shut downs just this year to prove that point.
If Democrats are really so concerned about the DACA program, why didn't they accept the President's proposal?
Here is the bottom line: the Democrats are more concerned with opposing the president at every turn than actually resolving the fate of hundreds of thousands of people who fall under DACA. This is just plain wrong and another example of crippling gridlock in Congress that is ruining our country.

Kidney Transplants
Kidney problems often arise along with high blood pressure, which creates stress on the heart, circulation and kidneys. When high blood pressure becomes serious, the kidneys can no longer remove poisons from the blood. Kidney disease often comes from diabetes and may follow other conditions. Our kidney specialists care for patients with all types of disease, from mild conditions to kidney (renal) failure. We also perform renal biopsy and offer immunosuppression management.
The first step for our patients is an evaluation by our specialists, known as nephrologists. Tests will show us the degree of disease and indicate possible treatments. We can also treat your high blood pressure associated with kidney disease.
Kidney problems can be treated with medications. In some cases, surgery may be required. Kidney transplants when successful can free patients from dialysis. We have an active transplant program, and complete about 50 transplants per year. The East Carolina Heart Institute also has an active approach that includes the placement of stents, which can improve the flow of blood to the kidneys.
For some patients, dialysis is needed to clean the blood several times a week. We offer peritoneal (at-home) dialysis, as well as continuous renal replacement therapy and plasmapheresis.
We maintain two dialysis units with Fresenius Medical Care. One is at the medical center beside our office. Phone 252-329-8000. On the Outer Banks, we also are associated with Fresenius Medical Care, 115 Exeter St., Manteo N.C. 27954. Phone 252-475-3530

Words by Ms Jodie Harrison
Things are different for unsigned artists these days. What with YouTube, Myspace, Facebook and Twitter closing in on new acts, there are now more opportunities for musicians to get heard. All this exposure doesn't make the process of getting signed any easier though.
For 23-year-old Mr Panes, the road to recognition might be refreshingly short, thanks to a debut session with Burberry Acoustic, a brand recognised for discovering and developing emerging musical talent. "Music is so important to Burberry, as it is to everyone," says Mr Christopher Bailey, Burberry's chief creative officer and the man behind the project. "With Burberry Acoustic, we wanted to bring people into live contact with bands that we love, bands we admire and bands we believe in." Here, the Dorset-born, London-based theology graduate Mr Panes performs his previously unheard track "I'll Move Mountains" while sporting some rather dapper pieces from Burberry's fall collections all available on MR PORTER. Enjoy.
How did this project with Burberry come about?
It was a bit of a shot in the dark to be honest. My sister had seen some Burberry Acoustic films and thought I should try for one, so we wrote an email and we heard back pretty quickly. Three months later I was recording it. It was a nice surprise.
Why did you opt to perform this track in particular?
I chose this track because it works really well as a solo piece. It's one of my earliest songs. I started off as a solo artist about a year ago, writing and playing for myself, and this was one of the songs that emerged from that period. I wrote this while I was at university.
You recently graduated in theology, are you planning to put that knowledge to use?
Maybe not in a practical way but I suppose I kind of am putting it to use. It's quite a thoughtful subject, so it goes hand in hand with music or poetry.
How long have you been writing songs?
I've been writing ever since I picked up a guitar at the age of 13. I never learnt how to play formally, I just learnt through practise. But my favourite thing was always playing my own songs rather than anyone else's.
How would you describe your music?
It's difficult because it's ever changing. I started off on my own and everything tended to sound quite folky but now I play more with a group, so my sound has changed. The other musicians I play with come from classical backgrounds, so my music has taken on that mood of late.
Folk music has enjoyed something of a renaissance in the mainstream of late. Why do you think that has happened?
For me, folk is about getting back to the roots of music. I feel as if music came from that folky, storytelling environment and it's a genre that feels really intimate and allows people to get an insight into your story. Right now, it just feels like the kind of music people want to listen to.
Who are your musical influences?
I've always loved Bob Dylan. He is a family favourite and his songs were a sort of soundtrack to my childhood. Nick Drake has been a more recent influence, along with Van Morrison. My sister has introduced me to some good new bands from the US lately, one of which is called The Soil and the Sun. I also tend to find quite a lot of inspiration in classical music. It's an untapped source sometimes.
Does your music influence the way you dress?
My sound is quite relaxed and rustic and I guess my approach to dressing could be described in similar terms. I'm a flannel shirt and woolly jumper kind of guy. It all sits quite well together. When I'm playing there are certain pieces I feel comfortable in, the things that make me feel more at home on stage; jeans, a plaid shirt, some brogues and maybe even a woolly hat. Luckily I have a twin sister who lives in Michigan and sends me great checked shirts, so I have accumulated quite a collection.
Your voice sounds much older than your years. Has this been a good thing for you musically?
Older than my years? I'll take that as a compliment. I think a few years ago my voice was probably quite shrieky. It's grown up, as have I.

The cold November rains have come and my mind drifts off to warmer places on the planet. While we are slamming into winter here in the U.S., New Zealand is sliding into summer.
If you have the pleasure of taking a bike trip in New Zealand, don't miss the cathedral. While I know there are beautiful churches in Christchurch and Auckland, I'm referring to one made by Mother Nature.
The smiles of the men in this picture, enjoying a beer after a long bike ride, help make up my mental collage of Colombia. They flew by us in a tightly packed pace line as we pedaled our heavily loaded, lumbering touring bikes out of Bogotá. Waves and smiles and they were gone.
Fun media find: This photograph of Adventure Cycling co-founder, June Siple, was picked up by a slew of fashionista-type blogs this year; first published in National Geographic in 1973.
Belt drive transmissions are probably best known in the motorsports world, where you can find them on a fair number of cruiser-style motorcycles. Over the past few years, they have been slowly working their way into the cycling scene, and are currently most commonly found on urban single-speed bikes. The benefits of belt drive over a bicycle chain, which you may already know, are that they are cleaner (since they don't require any kind of lubricant), quieter, and they last longer.
One of the many things I love about travel is that it constantly tweaks our own language. Each one of my bicycle journeys has redefined certain words: beautiful, ugly, loud, serene, rich, poor, fair, unfair, tragedy, happiness.
If you've ever used an Adventure Cycling map to navigate our network, you may remember seeing those brilliant pink lines that cross the route on the map panels.

The Chicago Street Christmas light display originally from Blue Springs now has a new home in Buckner.
An opening lighting ceremony was held Wednesday night to showcase Buckner's new holiday lights.

With reports suggesting Mario Balotelli's entertaining stay at Manchester City could be coming to an end, here's a look at who could replace the beguiling Italian:
Robert Lewandowski, Borrusia Dortmund:
The Polish centre forward is rated as one of the best strikers in the world, after leading Dortmund to their second consecutive Bundesliga title last year.
With 22 goals in the league last season and 11 in 17 games this time around, he has shown the ability to finish, not only with his predominant right foot, but also with his head; using a 6ft frame and tremendous leaping ability to out jump defenders.
His positioning and work rate is what sets him apart, willing to run all day long, and having the tactical awareness to exploit mistakes to the full - a nice change to the usually apathetic Balotelli.
Although the Polish star would be a wonderful signing at the Etihad Stadium, I think they already have their tall enterprising centre forward in Edin Dzeko, and with the Bosnian's recent form there's not room for two such players.
Stevan Jovetic, Fiorentina:
Jovetic is a technically gifted forward, capable of playing out wide, up front, or sitting in the hole behind the striker.
The Montenegrin is an all round player capable of finishing from in or outside the box, with 14 goals last year in the Serie A. An expert at linking up play with his passing and movement, he has shown the ability to finish from the penalty spot as well.
As a direct replacement for Balotelli, Jovetic is probably the best option, being only 23 he has the best years of his career ahead of him and also room for development.
The only issue I see is that the young starlet has a terrible injury record, missing the entire 2010-11 season due to cruciate ligament damage, undergoing surgery; and has never played more than 29 Serie A games.
If he can stay healthy he could be one of the best in the world but it's a risk, City do have the money to find out though.
Mats Hummels, Borrusia Dortmund:
Hummels, at 24-years-old, is already one of the best centre backs in the world, and since City already have three world class strikers, why not give the defence a boost with the young Bundesliga star.
The German is a playmaking centre back in the mould of legend, and countryman Franz Beckenbauer, exhibiting similar long passing ability and tendency to start attacks from the back.
Hummels is also great at anticipating the flow of the game, often frustrating opponents with well timed tackles and interceptions; at 6ft 3 he also has the stature and physical strength to beat other players in the air.
I think Hummels would be the best option for City to replace Balotelli with, as the partnership with Vincent Kompany would instantly become the best in the Premier League, and still give City another playmaker.

A winner was selected from 215 designs submitted by 70 freelance designers.
I don't do Twitter
We are looking for a fun t-shirt to use as a promotional giveaway.
People that know what Twitter is but don't like it.
We will need the final design in print ready format as well as the original source files (illustrator, photoshop, etc).
We are looking for funny t-shirt designs that tells everyone "I don't do Twitter."
Obviously the person who wants to wear this t-shirt wants to make a statement...we're looking for impact and something people would want to wear.
You can design it using anything from 1 color to multicolor but it should be compatible with normal screen printing equipment.
Good luck.

After I removed all of the duplicate entries (quite a few! I think people assumed there were technical problems when there weren't) I went over to Random.org and drew the names of Wendy Koehler and Sandra K321. Wendy and Sandra, hope you enjoy the book! Congratulations - I'll be in touch via email.
Thanks to all who entered. As a sidenote, I'll be sticking to Google Docs for any upcoming giveaways I do. Seems easier for everyone, and it means you don't have to post your email address on a public site.
It looks like I'll be buried in review books for the immediate future... I just got three assignments for a May 10th due date (halfway through Enid Shomer's The Twelve Rooms of the Nile at the moment), and I turned another review in today for Victoria Hislop's The Thread. Fortunately, these are books I'd wanted to read anyway. All are lengthy novels, but at just over 400pp apiece, none qualifies for the chunkster challenge unless I count authors' notes and glossaries... and I think that's probably cheating.

The run fine under the AmigaOS but afterwards I could not boot linux. I've just been lucky to get into ubuntu 16.04 and here without recognition of the graphics card ..
Is there any Kernler I could try with greater chance of success. Most attempts to boot ends with a kernel panic. I've tried Ubuntu 17.04 Debian 8 Fedora and whip without success.

Country duo Florida-Georgia Line performed a free show March 7 for a large crowd of Jacksonville University students, faculty and their friends and family.
Recently endorsed by superstars Taylor Swift and Keith Urban, Florida-Georgia Line, Tyler Hubbard of Monroe, Ga., and Brian Kelley of Ormond Beach, started their careers playing open mic nights and writing music after crossing paths at Belmont College in Nashville.
The band members talked about how it all began in an interview before the show.
"We met through a mutual friend, got together and started doing our thing. We realized we had a cool thing going with our voices," Hubbard said. "I don't think we ever expected it to quite happen this fast. We had big dreams and big goals. We had our fingers crossed and we still do."
After college, the duo set out to make a name for themselves, cramming their equipment in Kelley's Chevy Tahoe and hitting the road. They played acoustic shows and did a number of odd jobs to support themselves along the way. Mowing lawns and cleaning cars, the duo kept pursuing what they wanted to do — make music — with no plan B in the works.
With the release of the duo's first EP in 2010, they began to gain momentum, and the crowds at their shows started to expand. It was May of last year when the boys from opposite sides of the border released their EP titled "It'z Just What We Do," which included the hits "Cruise," "Get Your Shine On" and "Tip it Back."
The duo quickly caught the eye of labels when their single "Cruise" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country Music chart after a mere 19 weeks, climbing to that spot faster than any band since 2006. It sold 100,000 copies even before the band was signed. In July 2012, they signed with Universal Republic Records.
Florida-Georgia Line pumped out all of their hits under the newly opened Larry Strom Amphitheatre on Dolphin Green overlooking the St. Johns River.
Florida-Georgia Line's spirited and upbeat set pumped through the amphitheatre. The short intermissions were anything but, as the Duo's band offered lengthy drum solos, '70s rock guitar solos, and even a unique rock rendition of the opening theme song from "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."
The band said their thank yous and made their way off stage at the end of the show. But, after a few minutes of encore chants, they returned to placate the rowdy crowd with a distinctive rendition of "Cruise."
"I grew up an hour and 15 minutes away from here," Kelley said earlier during the interview. "I love it. The weather is amazing. It feels like home."

Would you like to see Zumba: The Movie? How about Zumba: The Broadway Musical?
Those big dreams could become a reality sooner than you think. Zumba Fitness co-founder Alberto "Beto" Perez said as much in an interview last month at the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) show in Las Vegas.
The story of Beto Perez is one worthy of the big screen. From sleeping a couple of nights in a Miami park not long after he arrived from his native Colombia to helping run a multi-million dollar international business with 14 million participants in more than 185 countries, Perez admits that his life has been the American dream.
"When I was 16 years old, 17 years old, I discovered this class by accident," Perez said, referring to the time as a dance instructor in Colombia when he forgot his aerobics music and instead played his salsa and merengue tapes. "When I taught this class for the first time, after the class, I thought, 'I want to do this for the rest of my life.'"
It is hard to keep up with the always-moving Perez, and it has been hard to keep up with the honors and recognition Zumba Fitness has received in recent months. Last year, Inc. magazine named Zumba Fitness its Company of the Year, and Perez landed on the magazine's cover. The magnitude of the honor did not sink in with Perez at first.
"I was so busy at that time," Perez says. "Somebody came up to me and said, 'Beto, you're going to be on the cover of a magazine, Inc.' I didn't have an idea of how big Inc. magazine was. I know Men's Health, all these kinds of magazines. I didn't know we were the company of the year. At that moment, I couldn't believe it."
At the IHRSA show, Zumba Fitness received the John McCarthy Industry Visionary Award, presented to an individual or a company who has made a major contribution to the advancement of the club industry. The honor was especially sweet for co-founder and CEO Alberto Perlman, who remembers a time more than 10 years ago when the club industry rejected Zumba.
"At the beginning, the fitness industry was tough on us because the fitness industry has seen many things come and go," Perlman said at the IHRSA show. "So when we started calling gyms trying to get our instructors' jobs, at the beginning they would say, 'No.' We called up all the big chains, and they would say, 'No.' And to be here at IHRSA winning this award and to have every single big chain in the world now employing Zumba instructors and all these independent gyms now employing Zumba instructors, it's a huge thing for us. It's a dream come true."
Founded in 2001, Zumba Fitness, according to Inc., has a reported valuation of more than $500 million, although the Hallandale, FL-based company does not release revenue figures. Last year, Zumba Fitness received an undisclosed amount of financing from The Raine Group and Insight Venture Partners. Zumba Fitness has sold more than 12 million at-home fitness DVDs, and last year, the company sold four million pieces of apparel and accessories.
Room to Grow
Zumba has become an identity all its own, something more than a brand name, such as Kleenex for facial tissues and Band-Aids for bandages. It is used in casual conversations as a noun, a verb and an adjective.
"That's bad," says Perlman, one of three Zumba co-founders who is named Alberto (the other being president and COO Alberto Aghion). "That's bad because our trademark is being used as an adjective. That's why you put the 'Fitness' after 'Zumba.' That's trademark law."
With its growth, and the company's goal to reach 100 million participants, might there one day be a Zumba Fitness Club? Perlman says no.
"We've been approached before, but right now, we don't want to compete with the clubs," he says. "We want the clubs to be happy with their Zumba program. We don't want to open up a club. Our ecosystem is built on clubs and instructors.
"The only thing we care about is that our instructors are successful in what they're doing. Our big goal is for them to be changing lives to grow our 14 million consumers. When these potential partners call us, we're always asking them, 'So what are you going to do for our instructors? How are you going to promote Zumba? How are you going to bring more students to classes?' It's been amazing. The response has been great."
Zumba Fitness received yet another honor at the IHRSA show, the Augie's Quest Leadership Award, for raising nearly $1 million through its Zumbathon events to find a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease. The Zumbathon at the IHRSA show, which raised $200,000, featured the recently launched Zumba Sentao, which incorporates the use of a chair. Augie Nieto, the driving force behind Augie's Quest, participated in the event. The next night, after the Bash for Augie's Quest raised $1.6 million, Perez led an impromptu Zumba class for attendees.
Zumba Fitness has raised $3.5 million through its charitable initiatives. In addition to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the company's other charity partners include Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the American Heart Association.
The company's latest campaign is The Great Calorie Drive. Through June 30, Zumba Fitness is making a donation for every 750 calories burned in a Zumba class (for up to three classes) to the United Nations World Food Programme and Feeding America when participants check in through the new Zumba Fitness mobile app. Zumba Fitness estimates that 2.6 billion calories will equate to roughly 3.5 million meals toward hunger-relief efforts. Also, Zumba Fitness will donate 30 percent of the sale of limited-edition Zumba apparel and accessories created for the initiative.
"We just wanted to give back, but at the same time bring new students, bring new members into the clubs," Perlman says. "So this campaign does both. Doing good is good business. If you're not helping people, what's the point?"
The movie about Zumba—and the company for that matter—might have been called something else. It could have been Tinga. Or Tonga. Or Conga, Mango, Bunga, Tanga or Sumba. Those were the names discussed as the founders sat down one day in a Starbucks to brainstorm.
Perez, who called his class Rumba in Colombia, really liked the sound of "Sumba" but he wanted to attach the letter 'Z' at the front "because I loved Zorro as a kid," he says. And just like Zorro, Zumba may be heading to the big screen.
The question is: Who will play Perez?
"It's a good question. I don't know. Wow." he says. "He needs to be a good dancer. Make me look like him. Make him have an accent."

Press ReleaseASGE Re-Launches Colon Cancer Awareness Web Site www.screen4coloncancer.org for National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
Site features updated information on colon cancer prevention and a new birthday e-Card that reminds those 50 and over to get screened
OAK BROOK, Ill. - March 6, 2008 - Each year more than 150,000 people are diagnosed with colon cancer and over 50,000 die from the disease annually in the United States. It doesn't have to be this way because colon cancer is largely preventable with regular screening and is curable with early detection. The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE), representing the specialists in colon cancer screening, is re-launching its colon cancer awareness web site www.screen4coloncancer.org for National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in March to encourage people to get screened for colon cancer.
"The single best way to prevent colon cancer is to get screened for the disease. ASGE recommends all men and women beginning at age 50 undergo a screening colonoscopy and repeat it every ten years," said ASGE President Grace H. Elta, MD, FASGE. "Colonoscopy screening is a safe, effective and well tolerated procedure that allows for the detection and removal of precancerous polyps or growths in the colon before they turn in to cancer. I encourage you to log on to www.screen4coloncancer.org to learn more about this preventable disease and where to find an expertly trained physician in your area."
The updated site offers visitors a wealth of vital information including disease facts about colon cancer, screening options, what to expect during a colonoscopy, frequently asked questions, the latest news about colon cancer such as studies and statistics, links to patient support and advocacy groups, an informational video dispelling the myths surrounding colon cancer, and how to find a qualified physician in your area. The content is available in English and Spanish with Chinese soon to come, and the site also gives patients an opportunity to share their personal stories about their experience with colon cancer.
In addition to these elements, visitors can send their loved ones who are 50 and over a birthday e-Card featuring cartoon characters "Peter and Polly Polyp" that reminds the recipient to get screened for colon cancer. The animated flash e-Card depicts a birthday celebration with the main message "Don't let Peter and Polly Polyp crash your birthday party. Get screened for colon cancer today, it is the second leading cancer killer. Ask your doctor about getting screened for colon cancer, it could save your life."
Colon cancer is preventable, beatable and treatable!
About Colon Cancer
Colorectal cancer, also know as colon cancer, is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Many of those deaths could be prevented with earlier detection. The five-year relative survival rate for people whose colon cancer is treated in an early stage is greater than 90 percent. Unfortunately, only 39 percent of colon cancers are found at that early stage. Once the cancer has spread to nearby organs or lymph nodes, the five-year relative survival rate decreases dramatically.
ASGE screening guidelines recommend that, beginning at age 50, asymptomatic men and women at average risk for developing colon cancer should have a colonoscopy every 10 years. People with risk factors, such as a family history of colon cancer, should begin at an earlier age. Patients are advised to discuss their risk factors with their physician to determine when to begin routine colon cancer screening and how often they should be screened.
Because they are less likely to seek routine screening, minorities -- particularly African Americans and Hispanics -- are more likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer in advanced stages. As a result, death rates are higher for these populations than they are for Caucasians. Some studies have shown that African Americans are more frequently diagnosed with colon cancer at a younger age, leading some experts to suggest that African Americans begin screening prior to age 50. African Americans should speak to their physician about an appropriate screening schedule.
###About the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
Founded in 1941, the mission of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is to be the leader in advancing patient care and digestive health by promoting excellence in gastrointestinal endoscopy. ASGE, with more than 10,000 physician members worldwide, promotes the highest standards for endoscopic training and practice, fosters endoscopic research, recognizes distinguished contributions to endoscopy, and is the foremost resource for endoscopic education. Visit www.asge.org and www.screen4coloncancer.org for more information.
About Endoscopy
Endoscopy is performed by specially-trained physicians called endoscopists using the most current technology to diagnose and treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Using flexible, thin tubes called endoscopes, endoscopists are able to access the human digestive tract without incisions via natural orifices. Endoscopes are designed with high-intensity lighting and fitted with precision devices that allow viewing and treatment of the gastrointestinal system. In many cases, screening or treatment of conditions can be delivered via the endoscope without the need for further sedation, treatment or hospital stay.
