STOCKTON - Charges against a Lodi man accused of shooting his roommate May 17 have elevated from voluntary manslaughter to first-degree murder.
STOCKTON - Charges against a Lodi man accused of shooting his roommate May 17 have elevated from voluntary manslaughter to first-degree murder.
Richard Welker, 33, appeared in San Joaquin County Superior Court on Monday to face charges he shot his roommate, Arlie Druen, 33, in their South Central Avenue home at 7:45 p.m. May 17.
Lodi police initially arrested Welker on suspicion of voluntary manslaughter. Sgt. Sierra Brucia had said evidence led investigators to allege that Welker shot Druen unintentionally. Brucia was careful not to call the shooting an accident but refused to provide further details.
On Monday, however, Judge Franklin Stephenson read a revised complaint that alleges Welker intentionally shot Druen with the intent to kill him.
Welker is being held in the San Joaquin County Jail without bail.
Brucia said detectives continue to investigate the case.
"The District Attorney's Office evaluated the case and decided to upgrade the charges," Brucia said.
A group of Welker's friends and family members who attended Monday's hearing refused comment to The Record.
The San Joaquin County Superior Court clerk's office did not release a copy of the revised complaint against Welker on Monday.
Welker did not enter a plea and spoke only briefly to indicate he has hired attorney Gregory Davenport to represent him.
Arraignment was continued to Thursday morning.

Today the Knicks assigned center Jerome Jordan and point guard Jeremy Lin to their NBA D-league affiliate Erie Bayhawks. This move however does not clear up roster spots for the Knicks so the notion of a future signing can be ruled out.
I think this was a case of the Knicks just trying to get Jordan and Lin more playing time because clearly they were not going to get any better sitting on the Knicks bench. I think Jordan can be a future contributor on this team. He showed some nice raw athleticism and I think he will vastly improve as he matures with more playing time. There aren't many 7 footers around and I think Jordan has the potential to be a pretty good one. He'll never be a star but I think he could definitely be a contributor coming off the bench and spot starting if needed. I am not as sold on Jeremy Lin. He has been good in the D-league before and was good for Harvard but he hasn't shown me anything, in both Golden State and New York, that would indicate to me that he can be a contributor for the Knicks. He looked bad even in garbage minutes with the Knicks. Obviously he is very smart having gone to Harvard and so I do not rule out an NBA career for him. While I am not sold on him, there is no reason why he cannot be an Anthony Carter-esq 15th man on a roster next year. Brains will always give you an advantage in the NBA but I'm just not sold on whether Lin has the skill and athleticism to catch on to an NBA roster in the future.Follow @tarmosino

A Superior Home Theater Network for 1080p Media Streaming
Getting my home theater network organized and running like a well-oiled machine is critical for me because when I have downtime, I want the best experience possible, instead of constantly rebooting devices to avoid buffering. I wanted to share how I got a rock solid and fast home network set up with three goals:
- High quality streaming of 1080p content from online services like Vudu, Netflix and iTUnes Movies on Apple TV.
- Streaming from in-home media servers (DLNA)
- Super-fast downloads of updates and content on media devices like the PS3
Solid Inter-room Networking
Of course the best solution for this is a house that is wired with gigabit ethernet to all relevant rooms. Our house is older and like is the case with most folks, is not wired with ethernet (gigabit or otherwise) across all rooms. So the first challenge was how to reliably get high bandwidth network connections between rooms. The three things I tried:
- INFERIOR. First, I tried to connect each device (that supported it) via wireless to the home wireless router. The streaming was just not rock-solid and high bandwidth enough for 1080p. Bandwidth reported by TV and PS3 was in the range of 1.5 – 5 Mbps in my case. Just not enough.
- DECENT. I then tried using a router in "ethernet client" mode – where it connects to the home network via wireless N, then provides four local ethernet ports, with the TV, PS3, Roku etc. connected by wire. Again, the streaming was just not rock-solid and high bandwidth enough for 1080p. Bandwidth reported by TV and PS3 was in the range of 3.5 – 10 Mbps in my case, a slight improvement, because positioning one device (the reverse wireless client device) is easier than trying to give multiple devices (PS3, Roku etc.) better wireless exposure via positioning. The device I had tried: SMCWEB-N EZ Connect™ N Pro Draft 11n Wireless Access Point/Ethernet Client.
- SUPERIOR. I finally discovered powerline adaptors. The performance of these vary from house to house, room to room, but here's what I got: rock-steady bandwidth of 200-300 Mbps, with much lower latencies. My device of choice: Netgear XAVB5001 Powerline Network Adapter Kit (XAVB5001). I tried various wall sockets (close to where I needed it) and checked bandwidth with a laptop in find which one gave the best performance. Wasn't much variation for me.
Reliable Broadband Solution
Even though I am not a fan of cable TV (we use DirecTV for live TV today, waiting for the day when live TV is totally internet based – oh how I wish Google TV was available in Austin, Texas), I am a HUGE fan of cable modem for broadband from personal experience. We have Time Warner's DOCSIS 3.0 based wideband service: 50Mbps down, 5bps up – it is ALWAYS at that level, barring an occasional service disruption (once a year or so). If you have something similar with fiber or otherwise that is at least a constant 20Mbps and rock-steady, you'll be fine for 1080p streaming from the internet.
Services and Devices for Superior 1080p Quality
Below are my personal observations and preferences.
- Vudu HDX – available on Samsung TV, and on the PS3. Do not use this anymore as Apple TV 1080p movies are a buck cheaper.
- Netflix: available on Samsung TV, PS3, Apple TV, Roku 2 XS – I have discovered that the picture quality is best on the PS3. Apple TV and Roku are similar.
- iTunes Movies: available on Apple TV – I use for all my paid content: movies, and TV show season passes or single episodes.
- Amazon VOD – does not seem to be 1080p, although Prime has some things that Netflix does not. Actively use Prime from time to time, but not for paid content.
- Hulu Plus – does not seem to be 1080p, and I dislike ads on a paid service. Canceled this promptly.
- DLNA client for media streaming: I use the PS3 for this.
- DLNA server: I use a Windows 7 laptop for this, with an attached 3TB USB harddrive.
- Youtube on the PS3, and movie trailers on the Apple TV.
My Network Hardware List
Here's the "parts list" of my home network (relevant to home theater and media streaming), including model numbers of things I actively use, by room.
Study (Internet access)
Cable modem: Ubee DDW3611 DOCSIS 3.0 (8×4) Wireless (802.11n) Cable Modem Gateway: I have it configured as a cable modem only (disabled wireless and DHCP).
Wireless Router: ASUS ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router.
Powerline Adaptor: Netgear XAVB5001 Powerline Network Adapter Kit (XAVB5001): one side installed in the study, from wireless router to powerline device plugged directly into wall socket.
Living Room (Main home theater)
Powerline Adaptor: Other end of Netgear XAVB5001 device plugged directly into wall socket behind home theater.
Gigabit switch: D-Link 8-Port Gigabit 16 Gbps Desktop Switch (DGS-1008G): Connected to powerline adaptor, and connects my TV, Apple TV, PS3, DirecTV HD DVR (via DIRECTV DECA Broadband Adapter).
Master Bedroom (2nd media room)
Powerline Adaptor: Single unit Netgear XAV5001 Powerline Network Adapter (XAV5001) device plugged directly into wall socket.
Gigabit switch: D-Link 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch (DGS-1005G): Connects TV and Roku 2 XS.
Sunroom (3rd media room)
Powerline Adaptor: Single unit Netgear XAV5001 Powerline Network Adapter (XAV5001) device plugged directly into wall socket.
Gigabit switch: D-Link 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch (DGS-1005G): Connects TV, Windows HTPC (DLNA server, USB drive with movies), Slingbox HD (connected to DirecTV receiver).
Feel free to share your experiences with setting up a home network!

It is common in mathematics to see definitions of the following form:
- we begin with a certain object $A$.
- we perform some construction depending on a choice of some parameter $\lambda\in\Lambda$ for some set $\Lambda$ which yields a new object $A_\lambda$.
- we show that this new object does not depend on the choice of particular $\lambda$, that is: for each pair $\lambda_1,\lambda_2\in\Lambda$ we have $A_{\lambda_1}=A_{\lambda_2}$.
- at last we define $A'$ to be $A_\lambda$ for some $\lambda\in\Lambda$.
So, to each object $A$ we have associated some object $A'$.
For example, if $r>0$ and $s\in\mathbb{R}$ are real numbers, $r^s$ is commonly seen to be defined by $r^s := \lim_{n\to\infty}r_n^{s_n}$ where $\lbrace(r_n,s_n)\rbrace_n$ is a sequence in $\mathbb{Q}\times\mathbb{Q}$ converging to $(r,s)$.
How are such definitions justified logically?
The step that bothers me, is step 4. In order for this to really define something, shouldn't we first pick a specific element $\lambda_A\in\Lambda$ for each object $A$ and then define $A':=A_{\lambda_A}$? Since otherwise I have a constant feeling of having to make such specific choices of $\lambda$ again and again when I should really be focusing on other things. In other words with such definitions I feel I never really know what exactly I have defined ...
Is there indeed some logical issue here, or am I perceiving things that aren't there?
Wouldn't it be better to instead do something like: define $A_\Lambda:=\lbrace A_\lambda|\lambda\in\Lambda\rbrace$, then prove $\mathrm{card} A_\Lambda = 1$ and then define $A':=\mathrm{UE}(A_\lambda)$, where $\mathrm{UE}(C)$ is defined to be the unique element of $C$ if $C$ indeed has exactly one element (and $\mathrm{UE}(C)=\emptyset$ otherwise), thus eliminating the need to choose?
Thanks in advance.

A provision of the controversial Patriot Act which allowed the FBI to clandestinely demand information from ISPs has been ruled unconstitutional. Calling it a prior restraint of speech barred by the First Amendment, US District Judge Victor Marrero overturned the portion of the law that allowed the FBI to send National Security Letters (NSLs) to Internet service providers without judicial review. Other communications providers (e.g., cellular and phone companies) are also subject to the portion of the Patriot Act that was overturned.
"All but the most mettlesome and undaunted NSL recipients would consider themselves effectively barred from consulting an attorney or anyone else who might advise them otherwise," Marrero concluded, "as well as bound to absolute silence about the existence of the NSL...For the reasonable NSL recipient confronted with the NSL's mandatory language and the FBI's conduct related to the NSL, resistance is not a viable option."
The suit was filed last April by the ACLU on behalf of an unnamed ISP which had presumably received an NSL from the FBI, the existence of which cannot be revealed to third parties. Under the law, the FBI could demand the information from ISPs by affirming that the information was relevant to a terrorist-related investigation. Prior to the Act's enactment, a judicial order was necessary.
Judge Marrero has stayed his decision for 90 days, giving the government time to appeal the decision. If the decision is upheld, it may give lawmakers some pause about renewing the Patriot Act, which is scheduled to expire at the end of 2005.

Q. Why are there two Marshall Elementary Schools in Anaheim?
– Jimmy Reyes, Anaheim
A. Good question, Jimmy. Though Anaheim is a big city, seems a bit strange to have two schools with the same name.
Well, almost the same name.
The two Marshalls are just over two miles from each other. But they're in separate school districts. (Anaheim is big enough that it has elementary schools in at least five districts: Anaheim City, Centralia, Magnolia, Orange Unified and Savanna.)
Dr. Peter Marshall Elementary School, named after the Scots-American preacher and one-time chaplain of the U.S. Senate, is in the Magnolia School District.
John Marshall Elementary (where Mr. Anaheim attended classes as a young lad) is named after the former Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. That school is within the Anaheim City School District.
"It does cause some confusion sometimes – people come to us when they mean to be enrolling at John Marshall school," says Dawn Breese, principal at Dr. Peter Marshall Elementary who attended the campus herself in the 1970s.
"Every time I go into Room 15 (her sixth-grade class), I think about where I sat," she said. "I wonder which Marshall opened first."
Another good question. Records indicate John Marshall school – home of the Mustangs – was completed in 1955 and opened soon after. Dr. Peter Marshall school – home to the Scottie dogs – opened in 1957.
Q. Why does Anaheim keep the same mayor for four years, while other cities in Orange County rotate City Council members in and out of that position every year?
– Dale Renard, Anaheim
A. Not every other city in Orange County shuffles mayors each year, but you're right, most do.
That's because most cities are so-called general law cities organized under California state law. Anaheim is a charter city, which means that local voters adopted a Charter that sets up guidelines for matters that are considered municipal affairs.
Anaheim's Charter calls for a mayor to be elected and serve for four years.
Other nearby cities such as Orange and Santa Ana also let voters elect a mayor. Most other cities appoint a mayor each year by a vote of city council members.
Statewide, it's somewhat unusual to see a charter city: According to the state's website, of the 481 municipalities in California, just 86 are charter cities. Most of those have large populations, such as Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco.
In Anaheim, like in many cities, the mayor leads meetings and has plenty of ceremonial power, but a mayor's vote carries no more weight than any other council member's.
Mr. Anaheim factoid: With this week's changing of the guard on the City Council, it's worthwhile to note that while the city was founded in 1857, it didn't incorporate until 1870. Anaheim's first mayor: Max Strobel.

6-23-09 PNC Park
I got to the gates about four minutes late today. When I got inside, I was discouraged to see that the final group that was batting for the Pirates was all left handed batters (Delwyn Young is a switch hitter).
I stood in left field and waited and waited for a ball to come out that way. Finally, near the end of the Pirates portion of batting practice, Delwyn Young turned around and batted right handed. He hit a home run two sections to my right that I simply had to jog over to and pick up. It was ball #1.
The Indians came out to hit. Their first group was also all lefties. Very discouraging. I could've had another ball, but the rubber band was missing from my glove. It must've gotten lost on Sunday when I went with my dad to play baseball. I also received a substantial injury on Sunday. I was going after a fly ball in left field, when I stepped into a huge swamp area left over by the torrential rains from this past Wednesday. I skidded on my right foot for about six feet, then fell backward. I landed on my glove hand, but that gave way, causing my elbow to awkwardly bend backward. It's been real sore ever since.
Anyway, the sun was blazingly bright today.
I lost two balls in the sun. Completely lost them. When that happens, I look at other people around me, to see if they're tracking the ball, so I can pick it back up. The folks around me couldn't see either.
Game: 2 balls (2 hit)
Season: 200 balls (100 hit, 72 thrown, 28 device)

(CNN) -- At least 10 people were killed and 15 wounded in a suicide bombing of a bus outside the National Theatre in the Somali capital of Mogadishu on Monday, the prime minister's office said.
A suicide bomber drove a car with explosives into the bus, according to the office of Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon.
Among the dead were students who were on the bus, and people who were in a nearby shopping mall, Somali police official Hassan Ali said.
Information on who was responsible for the attack wasn't immediately available. Somalia and its capital have long been engulfed in civil strife between a weak government and Islamist militants.

Phil from Android Central put the brand new (and currently pulled for bug fixes) Gmail for iPhone and iPad app on an iPhone 4 and iPad 2 running iOS 5 against the Gmail app on a Samsung Nexus S running Gingerbread and a Galaxy Tab 10.1 running Honeycomb.
It's easy to see Google took the easy way out with Gmail for iOS, going for a tragically thin native wrapper around the similar-old web content. Maybe they're still limited by the iOS SDK, maybe they want to keep Android as the premiere Gmail experience (and who could blame them?), maybe it's a hormone thing, or maybe they just want to prove Facebook isn't the only rich, powerful web company that can't release a stable iOS app, who knows?
Hopefully Google takes this as an opportunity to learn and gives their massive iPhone and iPad wielding user base a new Gmail app worthy of the name. And of Google.

Determining Whether a Covenant Runs with the Land
A person who makes a covenant to another is bound by her promise, and the other person can enforce it in court. But if someone else seeks to enforce the covenant, or if someone seeks to enforce the covenant against someone other than the original covenantor, you have to decide whether the covenant applies to those people who weren't parties to the covenant.
Someone other than the original party can enforce the covenant against a successor to the original covenantor if the following are true:
The covenant touches and concerns the original party's land, meaning the performance of the covenant somehow affects the land.
If a successor seeks to enforce the covenant, the original parties intended the covenant to be enforceable by successive owners of the benefitted land. If someone seeks to enforce the covenant against a successor to the original party, the original parties must have intended the covenant to be enforceable against successive owners of the original covenantor's land.
The original parties had horizontal privity (they created the covenant when one of the parties was transferring one of the subject properties to the other, or they made the covenant related to a leasehold or easement), and the successor has vertical privity with the original party whose position she is taking over (she succeeded to the original party's estate in some or all of her land); or, alternatively, the person against whom the covenant is to be enforced has notice of the covenant right belonging to the enforcing party.

Former District of Columbia Mayor Anthony Williams has endorsed Muriel Bowser to become the city's next mayor.
Bowser is the District's Democratic nominee after she defeated incumbent Vincent Gray in an April primary. Her challengers in the November general election include a fellow D.C. councilmember, David Catania, and former councilmember Carol Schwartz. Both are independents.
Williams, a Democrat, served as mayor from 1999-2007 and is credited with stabilizing the city following a takeover by Congress in the mid-1990s.
Bowser's campaign announced Williams' endorsement on Thursday. The former mayor says in a statement that Bowser "is the right person to continue the momentum of good government.'' He also says she'll continue the progress that's been made in reforming the District's public schools.

Wikipedia Loves Art has caught the eye of Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales (you can check out his bio on – of course – Wikipedia).
In the video below, he shares his thoughts on the contest, and how the public perception of Wikipedia has changed, even over just the past few years.
In case you missed our announcement last week, Wikipedia Loves Art is a world-wide, museum-based, photo scavenger hunt. It's a take-off on Valentine's Day that shares the love among photographers on Flickr, anyone who's ever used Wikipedia (read: everyone) and museums across the globe.
You can participate by shooting pictures of the items on the HMNS goal list any time in the month of February – but we're also hosting a Wikipedia Loves Art meetup on Sunday, Feb. 15 from 6 – 9 p.m. The meetup will include free access to the permanent exhibition halls as well as conservatory and entomology exhibits at the Cockrell Butterfly Center for all registered Wikipedia Loves Art photographers. Before coming to the meetup, please be sure to register online. Check in will be at a table in the Grand Hall.
More details: the Wikipedia Loves Art Flickr page; the Brooklyn Museum's announcement; and the HMNS meetup post in our group poolon Flickr.
Hope to see you there!

The GNOME desktop environment is undergoing a significant transformation. The developers behind the open source project are working on version 3.0, the first major overhaul since 2002. The GNOME release team has updated the roadmap and has set September 2010 as the target for the launch of GNOME 3.0. The release team has also announced the new module decisions for the upcoming 2.30 release, which is scheduled for April.
The future of GNOME is a matter that has been discussed extensively within the Linux community. Some of the most important factors that have contributed to GNOME's popularity among commercial Linux distributors are its incremental development model and consistent release cycle. A major overhaul, and the potential disruption that it could bring, are not entirely consistent with the GNOME philosophy. This made the prospect of a 3.0 release somewhat contentious among GNOME users and developers.
After extensive discussion, the GNOME release team decided last year to take on the task. The GNOME 2.30 release would be dubbed 3.0 and would be used as an opportunity to cut some of the deprecated cruft and update the platform's underlying infrastructure. The plan was to avoid major user-visible changes in favor of a simple clean-up under the hood. As the plans surrounding version 3.0 evolved, it became clear that more substantive changes were desirable. Version 3.0 will introduce a new desktop shell built with the Clutter toolkit and will also add a new tool called Zeitgeist that offers a journal-like alternative to conventional file management.
These components are still under heavy development and aren't quite mature enough yet for mainstream adoption. This and other factors have compelled the release team to push 3.0 back by one cycle, setting September 2010 as the new target for release. The decision was made based on status information that the release team collected from GNOME contributors earlier this month. The announcement was made by this week by release team member Vincent Untz on the GNOME developer mailing list.
"GNOME 3.0 will be released in September 2010, and in the meantime, we will release GNOME 2.30 in March 2010, continuing our long-standing tradition of six-months releases," he wrote. "The release date for 3.0 was not set in stone: while we're using a strict schedule that allows us to release GNOME every six months, GNOME is above all using quality-based release engineering. That's why our community wants GNOME 3.0 to be fully working for users and why we believe September is more appropriate."
The release team has also revealed the new module decisions for GNOME 2.30. The module decision process typically occurs at the start of every cycle through a submission and review process that is accompanied by extensive discussion on the GNOME desktop developer mailing list.
The Vala programming language has been accepted as an external dependency, meaning that GNOME application developers are now free to use it to build core desktop applications. The Clutter graphics framework was rejected during this round because there are some concerns about Intel's copyright assignment policies for the project. The release team believes that the issue can be resolved during this cycle and says that Clutter is still on track to be a key part of GNOME 3. A new configuration storage system called dconf was not accepted during this cycle, but has been tentatively approved for GNOME 3. It is likely that it will eventually replace the current GConf system.
CouchDB, a document-oriented database system that is being adopted by Canonical for its UbuntuOne service, was rejected as a GNOME dependency during this cycle. Although there is a growing amount of interest in CouchDB, the GNOME community believes that it is too early for it to be adopted widely on the desktop. The GNOME Global Menu, which provides a Mac-like unified menubar for the desktop panel, was rejected because there are still unanswered questions about its technical soundness and it doesn't align with the general vision for GNOME 3.
Although GNOME 2.30 is a transitional step between the 2.x series and 3.0, the developers say that it will not deviate from GNOME's typical commitment to reliability. It will arrive on schedule in March and will start to show up in popular Linux distros in April.

A parliamentary select committee has demanded that the government reconsiders its proposed planning free for all, claiming the overhaul of permitted development rights is misguided
The Department for Communities and Local Government.hopes the contoversial proposals, which will 'temporarily' double the size of house extensions allowed to proceed without planning permission, could create £600 million worth of construction output and unleash more than 20,000 extension projects.
However MPs sitting on the Communities and Local Government (CLG) Committee branded the changes 'unconvincing' and said the shake-up was 'based on an inadequate impact assessment' and ignored two essential requirements of the sustainable development policy set out in the National Policy Planning Framework (NPPF).
Committee chair Clive Betts said, 'First, the Government has produced very little hard evidence, and its impact assessment was not credible. Second, it has ignored [key requirements of the] NPPF – to take account of the environmental and social effects, as well as the economic.'
The government's proposals would double the exemption from planning permission for extensions to certain kinds of housing – for a period of three years the size limits for the depth of single-storey extensions for detached houses would increase from 4m to 8m and from 3m to 6m for all other houses in non-protected areas.
Betts added: 'The effects of this temporary relaxation of the planning rules will be new development which will have a permanent effect on neighbours and localities. I am uneasy that the proposed change will therefore be temporary in any manner. If a change to the planning rules is justified, it should be permanent. If it is not justified, it should not be made. The Government needs to go back to the drawing board.'
The government is currently considering feedback from cross-industry consultation, launched in November (AJ 13.11.2012), about the contentious proposals.
RIBA Past President and Chair of the RIBA Planning Group, Ruth Reed, said: 'The Institute has responded to the government's consultation on extending permitted development rights, advising against introducing this measure.
'We are concerned that removing the checks and balances needed to avoid inappropriate development could have a negative impact on surrounding areas.
"This follows our YouGov poll in September 2012 which highlighted public concern over the proposals and the perceived negative impact they would, if introduced, have on the quality of their neighbourhoods. We found 54% of respondents believe that the government's plan to remove the need for planning permission for house and building extensions would mean the quality of the design of their neighbourhood would get worse. Only a handful (7%) think that it will get better. We hope that following the consultation phase the Government will reconsider this short-sighted proposal"
MPs urge government to 'go back to drawing board' on planning free-for-all

Manufactured according to the original formulas, the Artisti line includes authentic, hard to find colors like Prussian Blue and Bitumen. With the exception of the whites, which are ground in safflower oil, all Artisti Oils are prepared using top-quality, cold pressed linseed oil.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
inorganiic, cadmium
Cadmium Yellow is brilliant, dense, and opaque, with good tinting strength and very high hiding power. It is the artist's principal bright yellow and is available in light, medium, and dark shades. The deeper shades appear deep orange and have the greatest tinting strength. It is slow-drying in oil form and is used in both oil and watercolor form. It cannot be mixed with copper-based pigments. A clean Cadmium Orange is created when Cadmium Yellow is mixed with Cadmium Red. Hues vary by brand. Cadmium pigments have been partially replaced by azo pigments, which are similar in lightfastness to the cadmium colors, cheaper, and non-toxic.
Cadmium Yellow is usually available in a pure grade, or in a cadmium-barium mix. This mix has the same permanence with a lower tinting strength.
Cadmium Yellow is lightfast and permanent in most forms, but like most cadmium colors, it will fade in fresco or mural painting. The deeper shades are the most permanent. The pale varieties have been known to fade with exposure to sunlight.
Cadmium Yellow is a known human carcinogen. It can be hazardous if chronically inhaled or ingested.
Cadmiums get their names from the Latin word cadmia meaning zinc ore calamine, and the Greek word kadmeia, meaning Cadmean earth, first found near Thebes, the city founded by the Phoenician prince Cadmus. Metallic cadmium was discovered in 1817 by Friedrich Strohmeyer. Oil colors were first made from Cadmium Yellow pigments in 1819, replacing toxic Chrome (lead) Yellows. However, their production was delayed until 1840 due to the scarcity of cadmium metals. Landscape painters, such as Claude Monet, preferred Cadmium Yellow to the less expensive Chrome Yellow because of its higher chroma and greater purity of color.
Aurora Yellow, Cadmium Primrose Yellow, Cadmium Zinc Yellow, Lemon Yellow, Primrose Yellow. Deep Cadmium Yellow is sometimes called Orient Yellow.

C32H3Cl13CuN8 to C32HCl15CuN8 or C32H16CuN8Cl15 (PG7) or C32Br6Cl10CuN8 (PG36)
Phthalo Green is a transparent, cool, bright, high intensity color used in oil and acrylics. It comes from a Phthalocyanine Blue pigment where most of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced with chlorine, forming highly stable molecules. It has similar pigment properties and permanence to Phthalo Blue. It is slow drying and an excellent base color for mixing a range of bright greens. Phthalo Green is considered a very good alternative to Viridian because it is intense and mixes well and can be used to emphasize mineral colors in various tints. However, its tinting strength is very high, so it can overpower other colors. This pigment most closely resembles the discontinued and toxic Verdigris.
Phthalo Greens are completely lightfast and resistant to alkali, acids, solvents, heat, and ultraviolet radiation. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Green has no significant hazards, but it contained PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) until 1982.
This bright blue-green was developed in 1935 and has been in use since 1938.

Ultramarine is the standard warm blue, a brilliant blue pigment that has the most purple and least green in its undertone. It has a moderate to high tinting strength and a beautiful transparency. Synthetic Ultramarine is not as vivid a blue as natural Ultramarine. Ultramarine dries slowly in oil and tends to produce clean, though granular, washes in watercolor. French Ultramarine mixes well with Alizarin colors in oil and watercolor form to create a range of purples and violets. It can dull when mixed with white in acrylic form, but mixes well with other colors. The shade varies based on manufacturer. Considered a great color for glazes, it is not suitable for frescoing.
Ultramarine has excellent permanence, although synthetic Ultramarine is not as permanent as natural Ultramarine. It may discolor if exposed to acid because of its sulfuric content.
Ultramarine has no significant hazards.
The name for this pigment comes from the Middle Latin ultra, meaning beyond, and mare, meaning sea, because it was imported from Asia to Europe by sea. It is a prominent component of lapis lazuli and was used on Asian temples starting in the 6th century. It was one of the most expensive pigments in 16th century Europe, worth twice its weight in gold, and so was used sparingly and when commissions were larger. Ultramarine is currently imitated by a process invented in France in 1826 by Jean Baptiste Guimet, making blue affordable to artists and extending the range of colors on their palettes.
Artificial Ultramarine, French Blue, French Ultramarine, Gmelin's Blue, Guimet's Blue, Permanent Blue, Royal Blue, Synthetic Ultramarine. New Blue describes particular shades of Ultramarine. Armenian Blue and Lazuline Blue are names for genuine Lapiz Ultramarine. Sky Blue is a pale tone of Ultramarine.

The deputy director of the Port of Miami is the unanimous choice by the Jacksonville Port Authority's board to become the next CEO of JaxPort.
At a meeting April 22, the board approved starting negotiations with Juan Kuryla to replace Paul Anderson, who left at the end of the year to take the position as the director of Tampa Port Authority, said Nancy Rubin, the port's spokesperson.
The board conducted much of its search behind closed doors with one-on-one interviews with the eight candidates. It cut down the number of finalists to three before selecting Kuryla. Interim JaxPort CEO Roy Schleicher and Michael E. Moore, the former CEO of Global Container Terminals were the other finalists.
When he left the post he had held for only 23 months, Anderson complained about the instability at JaxPort, where competing appointments by the governor and mayor kept changing the port's leadership.
Anderson was the state's highest paid port executive in Jacksonville with an annual salary of $320,0000. He is paid $350,000 in Tampa.
The board will have to negotiate a salary and benefits with Kuryla.

User talk:AlSweigart
Deleting pages from the wiki
A couple weeks ago, you deleted many pages from the wiki which I don't think should have been deleted. After talking to you briefly about it on IM, I undeleted most of them, because I see the wiki revision history as an important part of Noisebridge's history. Now I see you have deleted a couple more. I totally agree with you that Patrick's Reservations page was misguided, but I think the appropriate course of action is to replace it with a redirect and keep its history visible. This way, if someone else wants to create a similar page in the future, they can be informed by what has happened previously. Especially with a page like that which someone clearly still wanted to develop further, it seems to me like an abuse of your wiki admin privileges to delete it. I have undeleted it and replaced it with a redirect. I hope that in the future you will refrain from deleting pages which are not outright abusive/spam/etc or who's deletion was requested by the page's primary author. Thanks! - Leif 19:38, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Aston Villa 0 Leyton Orient 1
Leyton Orient become the latest lower league team to inflict more cup misery on Aston Villa.
Romain Vincelot's header three minutes from time sees Orient join Bradford in humiliating Villa in this competition, with the Bantams famously defeating the Premier League team over a two-legged semi-final in 2013.
And earlier this year at Villa Park, Sheffield United knocked Paul Lambert's men out of the FA Cup.
Joe Cole was handed his full Villa debut. The midfielder's inclusion was one of seven changes made by Lambert for the second-round tie.
Shay Given made his first appearance since January 2013, while Darren Bent started a game for Villa for the first time since the final day of the 2012/13 season.
Orient made six changes from their League One fixture at the weekend, one of which saw former Villa defender Shane Lowry come into the starting line up.
With both sides making so many changes fluency was initially difficult to find. But Leandro Bacuna looked willing down the left and he was involved in much of what was good about Villa early on.
Orient's captain for the night David Mooney got his head in the way of a goalbound effort from the Dutchman after quarter of an hour. Shortly afterwards Jack Grealish, making his first start for Villa, saw a close-range flick blocked by Bradley Pritchard after some determined wing play from Bacuna.
Visiting right-back Elliott Omozusi might have been pleased to see Bacuna swap flanks midway through the first half but, having faced Grealish last season when the Villa teenager was on loan at Notts County, he knew his replacement could also cause him problems.
And with his quick feet and penetrating runs, the 18-year-old showed why he is considered a prospect at Villa Park.
But it was a more experienced playmaker in Cole who carved out the best chance of the opening 45 minutes. His perfectly-weighted pass behind the Orient defence sent Bent through down the right-hand side of the penalty area but his shot across Gary Woods flicked off the goalkeeper's legs and wide of the far post.
Mooney had Orient's first real chance just before half-time but the striker was well off target with his glancing header from Omozusi's cross.
Grealish embarked on another menacing run just before the hour mark but his shot was deflected wide. From the resulting corner Nathan Baker headed over the crossbar.
Orient thought their moment had come in the 67th minute when Mathieu Baudry's downward header looked destined for the top corner but Given produced a superb save to turn the ball on to the bar.
The game was becoming stretched and Grealish almost got the goal his performance arguably deserved - but he swept his first-time shot narrowly wide.
It was all hands to the pump inside the Villa penalty area with seven minutes remaining as Orient substitutes Chris Dagnall and Vincelot saw shots blocked.
Bent then fired wide after a superb 35-yard pass from Philippe Senderos, before Vincelot headed home Pritchard's left-wing cross at the far post.
The goal was met with angry reactions from a group of Villa supporters behind the dugouts, a couple of whom had to be restrained by stewards as they vented their frustrations towards Lambert.
There were also some calls for the Scot's resignation as he walked down the touchline towards the tunnel after the final whistle.

Staycations became the latest craze last year as the gas prices rose at the pump. This year, the trend continues as families are struggling to make ends meet and so many of us are counting our pennies.
I have never looked at these types of vacations as deprivation of tropical getaways, but instead looked at it as a way to enjoy all of the beauty that our own city has to offer. Truly, the best part about planning a staycation is there is very little packing, no layovers at the airport, and no long and drawn out days of travel. You can avoid all of these headaches and just have pure enjoyment from the comfort of your own home.
Planning a truly great staycation does take a lot of creativity and enthusiasm on your part though. We have enjoyed many wonderful staycations and I would love to share with you some of the ways our family vacations on a budget:
Just because you are staying home doesn't mean you aren't entitled to splurge a little. By saving on that airfare, gas for the car, and hotel stay, you can put some of that money towards a wise summer investment. Buy a lawn game that your whole family can enjoy, sign them up for a fun class through the parks department, or pay for a family pass to the zoo. These investments will pay off and give you even more opportunities to grow together as a family!

Long-time faculty member retiring
PLAINVIEW – For more than 20 years students at Wayland Baptist University have sat in Dr. Fred Meeks' religion classes listening to his distinguished baritone voice and unique speech cadence fill the room.
"This," many have said, "is surely what God must sound like."
Future students will not have that experience, however, as Meeks, who served as pastor at First Baptist Church of Plainview before joining the Wayland faculty in 1985, will retire effective Aug. 31.
Throughout his tenure, Meeks served as the Lester W. James Professor of Religion and as the chairman of the Division of Religion and Philosophy. He holds an undergraduate degree from Baylor University, and Master of Divinity and Doctor of Theology degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. During his time at Wayland, Meeks has been instrumental in adding many courses to Wayland's curriculum as well as designing new degree plans, including the Master's, Bachelor's and Certificate of Christian Ministry degrees. Under his leadership, the Division is currently petitioning the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to offer the M.Div. completely on line.
Meeks has also played a role in developing Wayland's partnership with Logsdon Seminary and with the Kenya Baptist Theological College where, beginning in July, Wayland will offer a full bachelor's degree in religion.
"It is impossible to truly replace Dr. Meeks," said Dr. Bobby Hall, Vice President for Academic Services. "He has masterfully led the Division of Religion and Philosophy, served tirelessly in the academic and administrative governance of the institution, and been a spiritual beacon in the lives of faculty, staff and students."
With all he has done in his administrative role, however, Meeks said his most memorable accomplishment was in hiring Dr. Carolyn Ratcliffe.
"At one time, I believe we were the only school associated with the (Baptist General Convention of Texas) that had a woman teaching Old and New Testament," he said. "Women had taught church history and Christian education and areas like that. But the struggle in Southern Baptist life had been about a woman teaching men the Bible.
"That is something that I really feel a lot of joy about."
Meeks has watched his students continue their education and earn masters' and doctorate degrees. He has enjoyed watching as their ministries grow and flourish. He has also built a lasting relationship with many churches in the area, serving as an interim pastor 27 times in the last 21 years.
"It's always a highlight to reflect on the relationships you build with the churches," Meeks said. "Being in this position enabled me to get into many more churches than I would have if I had stayed in a single pastorate. What it has done for me is make me realize as a believer, as a Christian, as a Baptist, wherever you go in the world, find a Baptist church and you are home."
Meeks and his wife Sally will have to find a new home now as they head into retirement. They built a log cabin retirement home near Kenosha Pass, Colo., more than 20 miles from the nearest Baptist church.
Meeks said he and his wife are looking forward to their time in the mountains. It has always been a dream of theirs. A dream Meeks chose to pursue after the death of a close friend.
"Dr. (Bill) Hardage and I talked about our future dreams many times, and we always ended our conversation with comments about not waiting too long to accomplish them," Meeks said.
Dr. Hardage, Wayland's Executive Vice President, was tragically killed in a plane accident in March.
"His death contributed to my decision," Meeks said.
Leaving Wayland will not be easy for the long-time professor. He has many fond memories and friendships at the school, and he is leaving several goals unfinished. One such goal being the development of a missions center which he proposed to the administration.
"The two areas students seem to have the most interest in are church planting and missions," Meeks said. "It seems like students want to start from scratch, which is wonderful."
Meeks' proposal incorporates the Kenya project, giving students access to a mission field. While he knows he won't be here to see to project to fruition, Meeks said he is confident the school will continue to look into the possibilities.
Even though Meeks will officially retire in August, he is not planning on giving up on teaching. He has already agreed to teach an online course in the fall and spring semesters for Wayland and said if he gets too bored during retirement he might volunteer to teach more. He is also hoping to make his way to Kenya to teach classes in conjunction with the new degree offering.
For now, however, it is business as usual as Meeks wraps up an online course he is teaching and prepares for his summer work. He also has to decide what to do with the 100s of books lining the walls in his office. After all, there's just no shelf space in his log cabin.
"The man who built it built a good crawl space under the cabin," Meeks said. "I may have to set up some bookshelves down there."

Tiger Tales: Maran the mahout
Posted on 07 June 2011
When a herd of rampaging wild elephants strays into their land, the villagers around India's Mudumalai Tiger Reserve don't panic. They call a gentle mahout.
When a herd of rampaging wild elephants strays into their land, the villagers around India's Mudumalai Tiger Reserve don't panic. They call a gentle mahout.
In his slight frame, wearing a simple vest and a lungi sarong, Mr. M. Maran, an unassuming man in his mid-fifties, doesn't look particularly heroic. But seeing him in action, even an audacious stuntman is sure to be amazed.
Maran rides Mudumalai, a majestic tusker named after the reserve. His job is to chase encroaching wild elephants that stray into a village back into the forest. His elephant is a kunki, an animal specially trained to deal with such situations. Like a policeman on patrol, Maran is always on standby, waiting for any news of trouble.
Maran and Mudumalai have been involved in many heart-stopping chases through dangerous forest terrain, sometimes late at night. "We've often had to flee with a wild herd at our heels," he says. "I hang on to Mudumalai knowing that if I fall, ¬the herd will trample me and tear me to shreds." Despite the danger, Maran says he loves his job and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
They are both locals: Mudumalai was caught in the park in 1967 and Maran, a Jain Kattunaikar tribal, was born in the park in 1953. For Maran, the elephant is an avatar of the Hindu Lord Ganesh; every time before mounting Mudumalai, Maran touches its feet and says a short prayer. Their relationship is a deeply affectionate one, a special bond between human and animal. They have been together for the last thirty-two years, citizens of the forest, trusting each other with their lives.
Mudumalai is the king of the park, its biggest and most revered elephant. He is also a bit of a Casanova. The father of many calves in the park, he has had dangerous flings with wild elephants from the forest. "I am not afraid of him even when he is in musth (heat)," says Maran. "He doesn't charge me."
Their days start early, usually at 5:30 in the morning, when Maran takes Mudumalai to the river for a leisurely bath that could last from an hour and a half to three hours. At 9:00 a.m., he feeds the animal a generous portion of rice, coconuts and salt. They are free for the rest of the day, unless, of course, they get a distress call from a village. On some days, Maran takes the elephant for another dip in the river in the afternoon.
Maran learned the art of riding elephants from his father who was also a mahout. He was with his father on an elephant when he saw his first tiger. "I was nine years old and really scared," he recalls. "The tiger had just killed a chital (spotted deer) and was feeding on it."
Maran has seen many tigers since then and he isn't fazed now. "I worry about tigers when I am on foot. I am more frightened of wild elephants as they sometimes charge you unprovoked. The tiger attacks only if severely provoked," he says.
Once Maran was attacked was by a gaur (Indian bison) while he was walking in the forest looking for his elephant. He was badly hurt and had to rest for a few months before he recovered fully. "I was very bored and missed my elephant and my life in the forest," he says. These days, he is a lot more careful when he goes into the forest on foot and is usually armed with a sickle.
Maran has five sons, and like his father, he takes his children on elephant back and shows them tigers in the wild. He knows that at least one of them is sure to follow in his footsteps and keep up the family tradition. The villagers around Mudumalai can rest assured that whenever there are wild elephants on the rampage, there'll always be someone charging to the rescue.

As I spend more time here in New Orleans — and as I get ready to depart — I have started to appreciate the daily sounds I take for granted. Just as important as the visual scenery, sounds can transport us to faraway locations.
In the past months, Kiva Fellows have shared video stories, insights on public transportation and accounts of our excursions into the field, but we'd like to invite you to experience our everyday lives through sound. Below are some clips that a few of us recorded in our various countries. Can you tell what they're of or where they were recorded? Give us your best guess in the comments!
Hint: they're from current fellows. I'll post the answers in the comments in a few days.
