Black Sun: The Eyes of Four presents four artists whose works form a vital core of post-war Japanese photography: Eikoh Hosoe, Shomei Tomatsu, Masahisa Fukase, and Daido Moriyama. The 160 photographs chosen for the exhibition range from the metaphoric to the documentary, from the presentation of the horrific legacy of Nagasaki to visually dense cityscapes.
June 1, 1986 - August 10, 1986
This exhibition celebrates the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Mexican-born Diego Rivera (1886-1957), whose bold and powerful paintings brilliantly convey his passionate concern for social and political issues, drawing upon Mexican history, and celebrating peasants and workers.
April 19, 1986 - June 22, 1986
More than works in any other medium, prints enable a viewer to explore the creative process leading to a finished work of art. Successive stages of a print--working proofs, states, and pen-and-ink studies--permit us to follow the artist's thoughts and to scrutinize his working methods. The work of Richard Hamilton (born 1922), structured on the additive principle of collage, is particularly suited to such penetrating analysis, as demonstrated by this exhibition of eighteen images seen in various states of their development.
January 26, 1986 - April 20, 1986
During three centuries of princely patronage, Indian artists produced luminous paintings for books and albums which continue to enchant viewers today. Painted Delight: Indian Paintings from Philadelphia Collectionsincludes some 140 masterworks of the Mughal and Rajput schools, many of which have never before been exhibited or published.

February 1, 1986 - March 29, 1986
This exhibition celebrates a noteworthy event in the history of the Museum: the acquisition of an encyclopedic collection of European prints, made possible by the extraordinary generosity of Muriel and Philip Berman.
November 24, 1985 - January 26, 1986
In celebration of the tercentenary of the birth of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), the Museum will present a small exhibition devoted to the composer and his times.

The work of Ray Metzker, a distinguished contemporary photographer long associated with Philadelphia, has been concentrated into over a dozen extended series of images, each radically different from one another. He has worked primarily in urban areas, drawn to ordinary people going about their day-to-day business.
October 19, 1985 - January 5, 1986
W. Eugene Smith (1918-1978) created images so powerful that they have shaped our perception of recent history. His photographic essays-whether chronicling the daily cares of an individual nurse-midwife, the plight of lepers in an African village, or the many elements which comprise a modern industrial city-established a new mode of in-depth, concerned photojournalism.

Kelly Preston is publicly speaking about the death of her son Jett Travolta for the first time, saying she believes there were chemical and environmental factors that may have contributed to his health issues.
The 16-year-old son of Kelly and actor John Travolta tragically died in 2009 after suffering a seizure and hitting his head on a bathtub. During a Nov. 21 appearance on the show "The Doctors," Preston says Jett was autistic, a condition she believes stemmed from his battle with Kawasaki disease as a child.
"I strongly believe as a mother, as does my husband, that there are certain contributing factors that lead to autism, and some of it is very much the chemicals in our environment and in our food," she says.
Preston, 50, says her use of antibiotics while breastfeeding, coupled with environmental toxins, likely led to her son's compromised health. She adds that while Jett was on medication for his autism, healthy living instead of prescription drugs was the better regimen.
"We would try all different things, and I felt when we were able to keep certain things at a bare minimum and do as healthy as possible, he did so much better," she says. "He was coming out of the autism."
Preston and Travolta now lead an organic lifestyle with their two younger children, Benjamin and Ella, and strive to surround themselves with a healthy environment. In "The Doctors" episode, Preston tours the factory of Alternative Laboratories in an effort to empower parents about living a life free of chemicals.
Check out a video clip of her appearance below.

Do you find this sudden rush of stories about Obama being in open conflict with the Catholic Church confusing?
We've done a simple Q&A to help clear things up.
So what happened?
A little over two weeks ago, the Department of Health and Human Services said that the new health-care reforms from Obama would require religious employers–like hospitals, schools, etc.–to include contraception, sterilization, and drugs that many Catholics believe cause early abortions, in their employee health insurance plans.
And, what's the problem?
Well, Catholics consider paying for those things sinful. So they are flaming mad at Obama. And Catholic priests have been reading a letter to almost all Catholics at church promising that the Church "cannot–and will not–obey this unjust law." This is pretty much unprecedented.
It seems like there is some subtext to this, right?
You betcha. Many of the bishops supported Obama's health-care reform effort precisely because they believed they had assurances this wouldn't happen. Update 4:59 The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops did eventually turn against the bill as written.
Why is this a big deal though? This is a minority issue, no?
Well not exactly. The Church has built or maintains about 625 non-profit hospitals in the United States right now. 1 in 8 hospital visits in America are to Catholic hospitals. It's the largest non-profit sector of the health-care industry by a long shot.
Whoa that's a lot.
Yeah–and then there are the schools. About 65,000 professors work at over 230 Catholic universities and colleges in America. And then there are secondary schools, etc. And charity organizations.
But aren't hospitals and schools really secular enterprises?
So when Jesus said heal the sick and feed the poor it had nothing to do with religion? Not sure that is going to fly. But that brings up the point that the Obama administration seems to be saying; that anything a religious person does outside of a Church or with someone who isn't part of their religion is somehow not-religious. In fact, it can't help but make that judgment.
But isn't the Church just a criminal enterprise of child-molesting freaks! I can't wait until the day it dies. It is based on fairy-tales!
We've been seeing a lot of comments like this. And well, it seems unlikely that the Church of approximately 70 million people here and a billion worldwide is going to go away tomorrow. Also, a lot of people of all faiths wouldn't have non-profit hospitals. Is this how you talk to people you meet?
All right, it's not going away, but the Church's teaching against contraception is really stupid. They're just against contraception because they hate women and their bodies.
You don't take away people's rights because you disagree with them.
And, as for their rationale, it was re-explained in the 1960s in a document called Humane Vitae. Basically, the idea is that love, sex, marriage, and procreation all go together. Lots of Catholics do actually try to follow this, and use methods like NFP to regulate their fertility.
I read that 98 percent of Catholics have used artificial contraception anyway.
Yeah. That seems to be mostly true.
So they are on Obama's side. He's got this.
Not necessarily. What percentage of Catholics commit sins like lying or gossip? Writers like E.J. Dionne and Michael Sean Winters both question the Church's teaching on this, but they are against Obama on this. They may disagree with the Church but they don't like seeing it being pushed around by the government. That represents the attitude of a lot of Catholics.
Isn't this a case of conflicting rights?
Yes, basically. Proponents of the regulation say that women of all faiths have a right to health-care and the way we provide health-care in this country is through employer-based health insurance. If contraception and sterilization and all these other things are health-care, then employers have to provide it. To them this is a simple uncontroversial idea, hindered only by the dogmas of a medieval Church.
All right, who's going to cave?
Hard to say. If a Republican is elected in November, the regulation is going away anyway.
Sometimes in history the Church has caved to governments on matters of principle. And Obama's re-election looks probable. But, look, there are big pockets of Catholic voters in Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and other swing states. If the Church makes a big deal, there might be good reason for Obama to cave.
And, the Church has survived Nero's persecution, and Napoleon's kidnapping of the pope. So, yeah, it can probably outmaneuver some regulations from the Department of Health and Human Services.

The purpose of this study is to set up a system for doing research on HIV prevention in various parts of the world.
In order to plan large, long-term studies on the prevention of HIV in different areas of the world, it is necessary to get certain information first. It is important to know about the rate of HIV infection and how to get people to enroll for any future studies. This study will be done at 4 study locations.
|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
In order to realistically plan for future Phase III studies on HIV prevention, information must be obtained to characterize study population parameters at HTPN sites. Very different study designs may be required depending on these parameters, such as the ability of HPTN research centers to recruit study participants and the rate of HIV incidence observed in study populations. This study will be conducted at 4 HPTN sites to establish the necessary research knowledge and infrastructure.
This study enrolls participants from St. Petersburg, Russia; Xinjiang and Guangxi, China; and Chennai, India who are at high risk for HIV infection due to sexual and/or drug use behaviors. Participants who meet the screening criteria then complete an HIV risk assessment interview, receive HIV pre-test and risk reduction counseling, and undergo phlebotomy for HIV antibody testing. Participants who test positive are referred to available services and studies. Those who test HIV-negative and meet eligibility criteria are enrolled and maintained in follow-up over the next 12 months. Participants complete "locator contacts" at Months 3 and 9 and have follow-up visits at Months 6 and 12 for similar tests as performed at entry. In a substudy of this trial in China, participants will be interviewed about their drug use, social networks, needs, and perceptions about HIV/AIDS. These results will be used by HPTN to design more culturally sensitive and appropriate trials in the future.

James Edward necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 186 diseños de 38 diseñadores freelance.
Our new company/product, SOAPvox is a new product that can be used as your very own multi-publishing platform, allowing you to control and generate unlimited unique websites and/or microsites; all with the option of fostering deep social collaborations across business, fan, sponsor or group verticals.
The product/company will be launched as a hosted content management and multi-publishing platform (Software as a Service) that will enable the generation of single or multiple sites, great content/digital media management/editing features and efficient web-based content workflow.
The name "soapvox" was derived from a combination of Soapbox (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soapbox) and Vox (Latin for Voice). We want to convey that this product will help content creators to capture, manage, modify, build, distribute, and CONTROL content that is important to them.
This product will provide freedom, flexibility, and allow consumers to break away from traditional structures and barriers in expressing themselves in different ways online.
Our tag line:
Core you; multiple voices
An example of an image showing a soapbox can be found at:
Anyone with content to publish, disseminate and share!
Specially designed for heavy or active content producers with many sources of content production/producers - or those who have multiple web sites where sharing and syndication of content is important.
Newspapers, magazines, editorial sites, universities, schools, associations, cities, bloggers, social networks, or online network of sites – anything that produces content in many varied forms and where community participation and input is desired.
Web designers/developers, full service, interactive or ad agencies, companies with resources helping to manage web presence, organizations looking to rapidly implement sites that easily communicate with and supplement other web or print systems..
Our challenge: to take a fairly technical product and package it with a brand identity that is
- And less intimidating.
Keeping in mind the spirit of the product, for logo designs, we have played around with ideas around a Graffiti throw-up on a soapbox. Please see attached document. You may use and develop on these sketches or come up with something that does not involve graffiti or any of these ideas at all. Feel free to experiment and be creative.
We require a logo that will pop in either simplicity or distinctiveness
The name Soapvox may be represented as any combination of lower and upper case letters – egs, SOAPvox, soapVOX, etc. Your input will solidify the treatment and that will become the standard
Suspected clip art or stock will be eliminated immediately
Please combine typography and icons
Feel free to use bold colors and some dimensional modeling, but logo will still need to look great as one color and flat
While this logo is primarily for Web, we would prefer something that is easily replicated in all mediums including print
Fonts used must be easily rendered and viewed in a browser
We prefer that you design in Illustrator or other Vector files
The designer chosen will be retained for more work following this project

Intel has shown off a MeeGo powered netbook, showing that it is planning on taking on Google and its Chrome OS when the new operating system from Google launches in the summer - hopefully.
The new operating system shows what netbook and laptop users could expect if they opt to go Nokia and Intel for their software when the new OS eventually launches on a laptop (You can get MeeGo on the WeTab, however it's a very different user experience). Here at Pocket-lint we couldn't resist having a quick fumble when we found the netbook powered by MeeGo, at CES in Las Vegas.
For those interested the MeeGo OS was running on a MSI U160DX netbook launched last year. While the laptop isn't really important here (we are focusing on the OS) it's interesting nonetheless that the OS was fast and zippy, even though the netbook isn't really that much of a powerhouse.
Specs of the U160 test machine include an Intel Atom N550 chip, 10-inch WSVGA screen, 2GB RAM, a 250GB hard drive and 802.11n wireless capability (which wasn't actually on).
First announced in February 2010, the MeeGo operating system sees users working with a number of "zones" for different work and play elements of their life.
Those zones are: Applications, Status, People, Internet, Music, Devices, and Network with a MyZone area allowing you to bookmark favourite elements from all the previous.
We aren't going to class this as a review as that would be pointless. You see, while the operating system was fully operational, Intel wasn't giving it any connectivity to the wider world when it showed it off at its booth at CES in Las Vegas at the beginning of the month. We asked why, but were told that it was a general problem on the stand (there are too many devices trying to connect) all week.
Still, Internet or no Internet, what we could garner from our fumble is that like Chrome this will be a very "online" centric-experience, with those zones acting like portals to your relevant areas of interest.
It's an interesting concept and one that we expect to work fairly well. If you want to talk to people, go to the people zone. If you want to load an app, go to the app zone. If you want to listen to music... you get the idea.
Compared against what we've seen from Google and its Chrome OS, you'll certainly feel like you're getting more of an OS, and compared to Windows 7, which the MSI U160 normally runs, it's a bit more "tablet" friendly with the UI giving you quick access to stuff rather than just a series of icons or a desktop with zero pointers.
As we've said, the system, which didn't seem to have much on it, was zippy and responsive, and we were able to dash between tabs with speed.
Of course the real question will be whether MeeGo, which has yet to gain any real traction in the 11 months it's been announced, will interest anyone enough outside a niche developer community to take on Google and its Chrome offering.
Combine that against Android (Honeycomb and beyond) and MeeGo, regardless of what it offers, has a tough job ahead.
All it needs to do now is start convincing people it's ready and able. From what we've seen the software looks like it might just have the power to persuade, if it can get the eyeballs ready to be persuaded.
Unfortunately, there's no word on when Intel and Nokia plan to launch a MeeGo netbook.

Workiva: Building an innovative financial reporting tool and saving nearly $1 million annually
About Workiva
Workiva, the leading cloud provider of connected data, reporting, and compliance solutions, is used by thousands of enterprises across 180 countries, including more than 75 percent of Fortune 500 companies, and by government agencies. Workiva customers have linked over five billion data elements to trust their data, reduce risk, and save time.
Google Cloud Platform Results
- Saves $1 million in overhead annually
- Streamlines operations, saving three to five positions
- Builds Workiva product in a year and completes 71 additional releases in 14 months, including 261 new features and 1,232 improvements
The technology behind Workiva's big idea was conceived by a small group of developers led by Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Jeff Trom. After several conversations with colleagues (among them two experienced CFOs), Trom and his small team of developers brought to life a cloud-based application that would redefine their industry. Their big idea: Dramatically improve how companies collect, manage, analyze and report business data.
Very early, Workiva anchored its business to Google App Engine. The company was drawn to Google App Engine because of Google's strong reputation for security. Working with Google App Engine, Workiva created a highly innovative, collaborative, secure, and reliable cloud-based productivity platform called Wdesk. Today, Workiva has a growing team of 950+ employees and is revolutionizing the compliance-reporting industry with its unique software. Offices in 15 cities serve more than 2,200 of the world's leading companies, including AES Corporation, Chevron, Delta Airlines, eBay, and WalMart.
The Workiva founders knew there had to be a better way to handle SEC reporting than relying on simple desktop tools. Before building their product, they talked to dozens of companies to learn the pain points with SEC reporting. In every case, it was clear that word processors, spreadsheets, and email were insufficient for the task.
Google App Engine has the breadth and the depth to grow with you. Every 6 months, it gets better. The Google App Engine team knows what you need to make a competitive application.—Brett Harper, director of product development, Workiva
Companies struggled with using spreadsheets to collaborate and exchange different types of data. Common issues included lack of integration between spreadsheets and word-processing programs, version-control problems, document change-management, late-breaking changes to data and text, and tight timelines. The process was painful. The process was painful. Filing teams at such companies as Whirlpool Corporation worked long hours, away from their families, to complete reports on time.
Business reporting is a mission-critical process for companies. Workiva founders knew that to support it, they would have to store large amounts of granular data, create rich collaboration capabilities, and provide state-of-the-art information security.
As the development team worked to create the software they envisioned, Workiva sought a platform that could help launch the product in 12 months without scale or server-reliability issues. A small team looked for the most efficient, cost-effective way to launch an application designed for rapid, mass scale-up. It needed a solution that would reduce overhead and provide a secure system to store client data. Google App Engine's pricing and reputation for security covered both.
"Choosing to use Google App Engine for Workiva for their back end was obvious," Murray notes. "Google App Engine provides many benefits to a business building a large-scale, data-intensive product on a short timeline.
Within a year, the team had built a product using Google App Engine's Python runtime environment. The combination of Python and Google App Engine's datastore feature enabled an iterative and incremental approach to building the back end. Even more important, it let the team focus on innovation and creating the right features for the market by eliminating considerable IT overhead.
Instead of spending time managing servers and service systems, the Workiva developers put their energy into building a cloud-based, totally collaborative tool. Filing teams could work on the same document online, thus resolving the complex data-editing and merging problem that so many companies faced with reporting. The developers also built a feature called "live-linking," which let users update key financial numbers in one place and have them updated simultaneously everywhere.
Early beta tests yielded great results and rave reviews. One of the first companies to use the product was Winnebago Industries, Inc. Testers there loved the ease of access and version control. CFO Sarah Nielsen especially appreciated the software's flexibility and accessibility. "First and foremost, I liked to be in the document whenever – and wherever – I wanted," she says.
After beta testing with several companies, Workiva officially launched the software on St. Patrick's Day, 2010. It has experienced tremendous growth ever since, and now works with thousands of companies in nearly every industry. Large companies are saving time and even submitting reports early. eBay, for example, submitted its 10-K annual report 20 days earlier by using Wdesk. Many other Workiva customers say they save hundreds of hours on a wide variety of data collection processes and business reports. Customers have stated improved work/life balance and higher employee morale, thanks to Wdesk.
Workiva attributes much of this success to Google App Engine. "Workiva would not be here today without Google App Engine," Murray notes. "Without it we would not have been able to put the money we needed into product development and distribution."
Using Google App Engine has saved Workiva three to five full-time positions in system administration and operations. With optimized headcount and improved server efficiency, savings are estimated at close to $1 million a year. Team members are also excited by Google App Engine's new pricing model. They see it as an indication of Google's continuing commitment to developing Google App Engine.
Workiva developers also love that the Google App Engine Team is producing innovations rapidly. Team members are fond of the AppStats and TaskQueues features. AppStats has helped identify problems and fine-tune performance. TaskQueues has provided good solutions for processing large amounts of data and reducing request latency.
Perhaps one of Google App Engine's biggest benefits is how it supports Workiva's rapid software delivery model. This infrastructure allows Workiva's progressive implementation of a reliable, automated patterned approach to building higher quality software without concerning customers with regular service interruption.
This is a huge competitive advantage because it allows Workiva to deliver updates nearly continuously and respond to its customers' needs with over 4,100 new features and improvements through an average of 63 releases every quarter.
As it grows, Workiva will continue to expand its product and the web services that support it. "When we find opportunities to build new applications there is no doubt that Google App Engine will be at the core," Murray adds.

Presidential debate No. 2: Romney gaffe, Obama takes the night
The President redeemed himself in Tuesday's debate, appearing free of the fog that enveloped him in the first debate and in charge, in a tough, at times pointing, jabbing, physically confrontational, politely aggressive brawl.
Obama put the Denver debate behind him, coming on strong at Hofstra, seeming assured and never losing focus. Mitt Romney suffered one major gaffe (corrected by Candy Crowley) and appeared rattled afterward.
For better or worse, all it takes is one gaffe, in the age of social media and 24/7 news cycles… and Romney provided it. Score a major success for moderator Candy Crowley for providing a real-time fact check.

We just wanted to take a moment to welcome all of the new "lookers" who read Woman's Day. We are thrilled to be included in Mary Hunt's article on saving money at the grocery store.
Take a moment, look around and enjoy the prospects of saving money.
If you don't see a lot of coupons that you can use, realize that we lost half of our inventory to the 12/31/06 expiration date, which we removed from our data base on Tuesday. So, bear with us as we re-build the inventory now.
However, we are putting on a lot of NED (no expiration date) coupons. Check those out. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter.
If you are with AOL, I just want you to know that I am NOT ignoring you. In fact, I am growing more and more frustrated with AOL by the minute. They are blocking ALL my emails to most of you. So, you think that I am not responding and I am growing frustrated with the fact that we are unable to communicate.
HELP. What can I do?
I've had several of you go to TCC and open up a TheCouponClippers.com email addy, so that I can answer your questions. I'm about to tell you that you can order, but please don't ask me a regular question, unless you plan to offer a different email addy to answer to. We're being frustrated on both ends. In other words, I'm answering, you're not getting it, so you're growing angry with me, and I feel like I'm stuttering, wondering why you keep asking the same question over and over and over again.
What am I supposed to do? Any AOL emails don't seem to be able to be answered. You can ask all you want, but I'm not sure how to answer. Maybe I should post an AOL answer board on the forum. Would that work? It'd be easier if you'd just open a FREE TCC email account.
I don't know WHY AOL hates me so much.
Rachael with TCC.
So, what's the paw print for? Well, we're trying to help you find out WHERE we get the coupons. Some of you say to me, "So, where was that coupon?" If it's in our Sunday papers, then I am putting up the week and the section.
The three different sections that we will catalog are:
Smart Source (SS),
Valassis (V) and
Proctor and Gamble (PG).
Soon the coupons will simply ORDER THEMSELVES.
This past week, in case you didn't notice, Russ added the "NEW" button near the top of the screen. Several of you had asked for a REALLY easy way to find ALL the new coupons. Well this is it. It cannot get ANY easier than this. Simply hit the NEW option and you'll see all the NEW coupons that came out in OUR Sunday Supplements, plus all the SPECIALnew items which are items that did NOT come out in our Sunday Supplements.
Be on the lookout for new improvements all the time! We're constantly striving to make things better and to make this more workable for you, the customer!
We're here to help you save money and achieve your financial goals!
p.s. NO, I didn't put up this weekend's coupons early. However, it is in the wee hours of Saturday morning and I did put up SOME new coupons...just not tomorrow's coupons.

Federal law needed to safeguard 'digital afterlives'
(Phys.org)—Federal law ought to play a stronger role in regulating social networking sites by allowing users to determine what happens to their "digital afterlives," says a recently published paper by a University of Illinois expert in intellectual property law.
Allowing social networking sites to set their own policies regarding the content associated with the accounts of deceased users does not adequately protect individual and collective interests, especially with people spending an increasing part of their lives online using social networking sites, says Jason Mazzone, a professor of law.
"Virtually no law regulates what happens to a person's online existence after his or her death," he said. "This is true even though individuals have privacy and copyright interests in materials they post to social networking sites."
Mazzone (pronounced "Maht-ZONE-A") says in the absence of legal regulation, social networking sites are unlikely to adopt user-friendly policies for the disposition of copyright materials from the accounts of the deceased.
"The current situation is that there's very little law involved," said Mazzone, the Lynn H. Murray Faculty Scholar at Illinois. "Social networking sites determine on their own what, if anything, to do with a deceased user's account and the materials the user posted to the site. And their policies are not likely to reflect the collective interests that exist with respect to copyright law. It's a little bit like letting the bank decide what to do with your money after you die."
According to the paper, a federal statute could impose some requirements upon social networking sites to give users a degree of control over what happens to their accounts.
"You only want the federal government involved if there's some failure on the part of the states," Mazzone said. "But it would be very difficult for any particular state to set up a legal regime that would adequately regulate Facebook, which not only operates all across the U.S. but also all over the world. Some states have enacted legislation in an effort to protect their own citizens, but it's not at all clear how it would affect Facebook as a whole.
"In order for this type of law to be effective, we have to turn to the federal government."
There are also broader societal interests for preserving content for historical purposes, said Mazzone, the author of "Copyfraud and Other Abuses of Intellectual Property Law," published by Stanford University Press in 2011.
"It's becoming increasingly common for people to have digital assets, and some of them do actually have value," he said. "Not only are such sites repositories of intellectual property, they also are important to family members and friends. Historians of the future will likely depend upon digital archives to reconstruct the past, which creates a real problem, particularly in an age when we don't leave diaries, and, increasingly, people don't write books."
According to Mazzone, Facebook's current policy is to "memorialize" the account of the deceased, meaning all uploaded content – status updates, photos, videos – disappears but the wall remains intact for current friends to express condolences.
"The content is no longer visible but it's all still on Facebook's servers," he said. "It's just that no one can actually see it."
So why is Facebook hoarding all of this content?
"Well, I suspect that Facebook thinks that there's going to be some future value to having all of that content locked away," Mazzone said. "Either because it will have historical significance, or because Facebook thinks there will be something they are going to do with that content down the road. There are already pretty crude avatars being built based on their email exchanges and Facebook posts, so it's conceivable that there could be things like holograms that are developed 100 years from now thanks to the mining of all of this data. But Facebook doesn't know that for sure, and that's why they see the value in holding on to all of this."
But ultimately the content is not Facebook's to keep, Mazzone says.
"Whoever uploaded the content has a property right that is protected – it's not extinguished by anything that Facebook does," he said. "The trouble, though, is how you or your heirs get your hands on that content. The person who has inherited the copyright, who has the ability to control the uses of the work, can't take advantage of it because it's locked away in Facebook's digital vault. That's why we need to get to a place where we can require an entity like Facebook to give individual users at least some possibility of deciding while they're still alive what's going to happen to their content after they die."
Mazzone says there are plenty of different ways to produce that result, with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act providing a good example of how to protect privacy interests while allowing users to "exercise affirmative control."
"HIPAA allows patients to specify who is going to get access to health records, and you have to affirmatively opt-in to that system," he said. "It's another area of federal law where you have information that's important and there are privacy interests involved. So I think that sort of model has some potential."
According to Mazzone, it's something of a sore spot for Facebook users.
"It's really pretty astonishing that there is no way for individual users to say, 'When I die, this is what happens to my account,' " he said. "Instead, it comes under the control of Facebook. I know many users have complained about the lack of just such an option. I also think it's the way Facebook users would think that things ought to work, and many users would be surprised to learn that there is no such option. I do think that it's pretty essential that that be available given the sorts of intellectual property and privacy interests that are at stake."
The paper, "Facebook's Afterlife," was published in the North Carolina Law Review.

When was the last time you changed up your shampoo? I recently tried a new shampoo by a brand called Maple Holistics, a company based in the USA making all natural, cruelty-free beauty products. Not only does it smell and work great, but it's full of some really awesome natural ingredients that can improve scalp and hair health!
The product: Maple Holistic's Tea Tree Oil Shampoo
What it's good for: This sulfate-free shampoo is perfect for anyone looking to improve the health of their scalp and promote hair growth.
Key natural ingredients: With natural ingredients like tea tree oil, lavender oil, rosemary oil, argan oil and botanical keratin, this shampoo is really therapeutic to the scalp which is great news for anyone who struggles with dryness, itchiness, and/or dandruff. Improving the health of your scalp is also a great holistic way to encourage healthy hair growth.
The price tag: $8.95 for an 8 once bottle, which is quite reasonable considering the high quality natural ingredients.
Where to buy: MapleHolistics.com or Amazon.com.
My favorite perk: Their free samples program where they give you the chance to try out their products at no cost to you! In addition to shampoo and other hair care products, they also have skin care and health food products.

Even though Bessie, Dennis and Betty are not in my direct line, I have spent a lot of time trying to find out what happened to Betty. Why? Bessie was the only other child of William and Mary Quirk nee Lee to marry and have a child. The other was my great grandfather, Edward, and he had one child that lived. He too lost his wife and second child shortly after childbirth via c-section. Despite William and Mary having had 9 children they do not have a multitude of descendants. Part of me hopes beyond hope that perhaps Betty went off to live with another relative by 1930 and perhaps she married and had children. I've found nothing to prove that...or disproved that, thus far.
obituary. Not a good sign. There is likewise no grave for her in Holy Saviour Cemetery in Bethlehem, PA. This is the cemetery that her father, Dennis, is buried in. If she is buried there, perhaps it is under her married name. A girl can hope.
I had hoped that Dennis' tombstone might add some additional information or chip a little away from the brick wall that are the Dugans. Nope. On one side of the tombstone is merely the surname "Dugan". On the other "Auer," "King," and "Larkin". I know his second wife's maiden name was King, and her mother's maiden name was Larkin, but I don't know who this "Auer" is. Perhaps a clue. I'll have to call the caretaker back and see if he can give me the names of these unknown people. Until that time, it doesn't appear that any bricks are coming down. Sometimes I think there's a devilish leprechaun building up the wall instead. Tricky little buggers, but I'm determined to find the gold at the other side of the
[A very special thank-you to Charlene Teifer Stiffinella for taking the pictures of the tombstone and for permitting me to use them in my blog!]

Four year high in student earnings
Four year high in student earnings
The latest figures from Student Job Search show that students in the Otago area had their biggest earning month in four years earning $2.16m.
"We're really happy with the SJS service, it's giving more students the chance to support themselves during their studies and bolster their CV" said Francisco Hernandez, OUSA Welfare Officer.
However, it's not a rosy outlook for all Otago students – despite the growth in earnings, almost one thousand more students (4,307 in total) were looking for work compared to 2011 and the OUSA Student Support Food Bank is giving out more food parcels than expected leading up to the end of the academic year.
"What's concerning is the spike in food bank use, these are small parcels containing just the basics. Their use reflects too many students staggering to the study finishline in 2012 rather than finishing in good condition." Said Mr. Hernandez, "Couple that with the job seeking numbers and the response to changes to Post Graduate Allowances, we're just a little bit concerned that food packs may be a lead indicator for students dropping out of study."
The number of students seeking OUSA Food Bank parcels has increased by 20% when compared with the total food parcels given out over the entire year for 2011.
"The growth in student earnings is great. But there are some students who are doing it really tough and need help, a situation which is only going to get worse once the Post Graduate allowance changes come into full effect next year." said Mr. Hernandez.
"We think in lieu of retaining the cuts in Post Graduate Allowances the government should have another look at allowing Post Graduates to transfer those costs to a loan rather than go without, particularly for student parents." Said Mr. Hernandez, "The government stated that was the principle it was working to. Unfortunately the details just don't work out like that."
The Student Job Search service is free for students as well as businesses and individuals looking to search for or list work. More information can be found online at www.sjs.co.nz

Road crews prepare for possible winter weather
Just a few snowflakes started to fall as early as Friday morning in spots. But even though nothing is piling up, that's not stopping crews like those stationed in Benton County from getting a head start on preparations for this weekend.
Benton County has about 15 trucks on hand to help spread their salt and salt mixture when the roads start to get slick and after conditions get bad. Those trucks are stationed in Bentonville, Garfield, and Decatur ahead of this weekend's weather. Since bridges and overpasses freeze first, Benton County road officials said that's their first priority when winter weather moves in.
"Some of the bridges and overpasses may need to be taken care of later tonight or first thing in the morning," said Benton County Road Administrator Terry Nalley.
But for now, these crews are at the ready and waiting to see what the weather has in store. And the road department said its confident their crews can handle whatever comes our way.
"Oh, we're in very good shape. I'd probably say on a one to 10, we're at a 10. Our crews are ready to go," said Nalley.
The Fayetteville transportation department told 40/29 that they also have their own crews set on standby and ready to go whenever the flakes begin to fly, but as of yet, have not pretreated their own roads.

An awed hush, please. After the triumph of the previous series, LMS is back for the forthcoming tussle for the little urn.
For newcomers, the absent-minded and the mentally infirm the concept is devastatingly simple: I (or someone else if I'm absent for any reason) proposes a question related to the forthcoming day's play that can be answered "yes" or "no"; if your prognostication turns out to be correct you remain in the competition, if it doesn't you're out like Hauritz.
Simples, as no-one with an ounce of self-respect says anymore.
I'll ask two questions before each day's play, you need to provide answers to both before play commences, but you will only advance if your answer to the first poser is correct. Alles klar? Sehr gut.
Question 1: Will 100 or more runs be scored before lunch on Day 1?
Question 2: Will 6 or more wickets fall before stumps on Day 1?
Everyone welcome, the more the merrier, tell your mates, etc. :)

Why do they call it bread when it is really cake?
I made this quickbread a couple weeks ago and am only just not getting around to posting it. I have not had much time to bake. Between having a newborn son and packing our house for a move, there is not much time to bake or blog. You see, in just under a month we will be leaving our home in Washington DC and heading south to Atlanta. We are excited for this next journey in our lives together, but are definitely sad to leave friends and jobs we love. We are very much looking forward to being closer to family. In the meantime, I will try to get as many recipes to you as possible.
This bread, which is really a cake, is delicious and perfect for a autumn breakfast. The recipe is from Cooking Light and called for walnuts, but I am a much bigger fan of pecans so I swapped them. I was actually surprised how delicious this recipe turning out being that it is a dessert from cooking light. I will definitely be making this again.
Pecan Streusel Quick Bread
recipe adapted from Cooking Light
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
dash of salt
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup chopped pecans
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fat-free buttermilk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
To prepare streusel, combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons melted butter, stirring until well combined. Stir in nuts. Set aside.
To prepare bread, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Combine 5 tablespoons butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium-high speed until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition; beat in vanilla. Beating at low speed, add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture; beat just until combined. Scrape half of batter into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with baking spray; sprinkle with half of streusel mixture. Spread remaining batter over streusel; swirl. Sprinkle remaining streusel on top of batter. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs clinging. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack. Remove from pan; cool completely on wire rack.

These folks manage complex learning and development programs for large companies worldwide. They might come from an education, industrial design, management or technical expertise background.
We are seeking six badges, which will be displayed on user profiles. They will be earned by buyers or sellers depending on their participation in our marketplace: specifically, we'll recognize them for completing course reviews, selling a lot of courses, or for adding a lot of courses to our marketplace.
The badges should look good at 150x150 and also at 50x50 in the profile view. We would like the vector files (at 150x150).
We would like the badges to be images only, without text. The name of the badge & how it is earned will appear in a mouseover.
Here's the list of badges needed:
"Know It Owl" - Industry experts who review courses
"Reviewer" - A buyer who has done 1-5 reviews
"Learning Guide" - A buyer who has written more than 5 reviews
"Door Opener" - A seller who has uploaded more than 10 courses
"Swarmed" - A course that has sold more than 500 seats
"Top Seller" - A seller who has sold more than 500 seats
I've added here a previous version of our logo, which has an owl that could be used in the "Know It Owl" badge.
Please check out our website for our branding and general look: http://www.OpenSesame.com. The badges should be fun, attractive and simple. We like bright colors, and we like the style of the badges of on FourSquare.
Please post any questions in the comments and I will do my best to be prompt in providing further information.

Do you remember the moment you became emotionally immune to the thrill of watching bright lights flicker across the night sky? It is, as pivotal moments go, a real shit: say ta'ra to backseat car rides of an evening, gawping into the abyss as highfalutin thoughts abound of lasers and magic and creating tentacled offspring with purple UFOs; and hello to fascination-maturity, the astrological wonder of yore scarcely returning to remind you it shone in the first place. The music of Darren Hayman is like when, ten years down the line, there's a shooting star or meteor shower or just a really jeffing superbly bright thing up there, and suddenly all the trinkets of childish fascination you abandoned become interesting again. And you have to hand it to him: beyond turning up on your doorstep with a long-forgotten childhood sweetheart and her willing hand in marriage, that's effectively as much as you can ask for from a largely solo recording artist.
Except, well, instead of reigniting intrigue around lasers and magic and creating purple offspring with UFOs, Hayman's more likely to be yabbering about, like, chatting to old friends and making silly twentysomething mistakes and creating gap-toothed offspring with needy members of the opposite sex. Which perhaps isn't the most tantalising prospect, and yet the Walthamstow-dweller - who was not, you suspect, the most popular kid in his class - evidently has a peculiar way with a grown-up heart. What his domestic greys are tinged with is the strangely poignant sparkle that tends to be spat up by otherwise unspectacular lives.
"We were simply grooving / The hipsters started laughing
The way that we were moving / A little out of time...
A little hesitation / You brushed your hips on mine / A little too much wine
I held on all night / You held on all night"
That, opener 'I Taught You How to Dance', is for better or worse typical of The Ship's Piano (a colloquial term for the type of small-scale piano these songs were written on) in that it's almost staple Fidelity Wars Darren H material. Since unicycling along the tightrope between naivety and insight with that record's authors Hefner, the chap's become diametrically opposed to the Holden Caulfield archetype you fear he might have fallen well deep into. So what's interesting is that, upon giving the 'new town' focus of his last couple of records with the Secondary Modern a rest, he's returned to write songs about loneliness ('Old House') and "the kind of girl who never wore a skirt" ('Josephine') and 'serious' - joylessly serious - relationships ('Take a Breather'). You know, the usual stuff.
But let's not rush into aligning The Ship's Piano - a record you'd be forgiven for considering a stopgap before Essex III: Return of the Secondary Modern - with its rich genetic heritage. Unlike the Essex Trilogy, and really anything Hayman's released through his various guises, the record has a highly intimate, minimal setup. Which works, sure - and perhaps gives this a broader appeal than its recent predecessors - but man-and-piano arrangements aren't necessarily the most natural environment for Hayman's ratty mew. Admittedly this development would be more worrying if it hadn't been logistically necessary. During recording, Hayman was cooped up in bed, having been assaulted after a gig in Nottingham in late 2009, and The Ship's Piano - which follows his January Songs project, itself due a deluxe full-release in January 2012 - started out as simply a way of passing time without exerting too much energy. Which needn't be fundamentally problematic in terms of listening to the thing, but in fairness it probably shows: even sidelining the fact most of the pianos here sound like they have just ambled home to their wife after 24 hours' drinking Courvoisier in a local sex bar with plumes of Camel cigarette smoke and tattooed drug-wenches growing on trees (not to mention discomfitingly brutal lyrics like "Are you worried? / I am worried too / Don't let it beat you black and blue / Or split your head in two" on the sweetly lilting 'Cuckoo', and yet more direct, "I'll think it through whilst the fists fly / And the skin tears from the knuckle" from retirement-baiting 'Think it Through'), this fourth LP is also possessed of an odds-and-ends kinda feel; soldered together by the singular circumstances of its recording, rather than any binding thematic intricacies.
But what does that matter to the casual newcomer, undaunted by overbearing expectations? S'no biggie - while a cynical argument might linger that the guy seems to wish/believe the key to every low self-esteemed lady's immortal happiness sits in his sweaty Brentwood palm, there are surely few who'd put the guy's poetic way with an 'our song'-making turn of phrase to the sword. Nonetheless there is, sadly, a nagging sense that for this particular record's swelteringly lofty highs (self-explanatory platonic love song 'It's Easy to Hang With You' being another), Hayman's insistence on recording the album he says he "wanted to hear," after the awful affair of being beaten to a whimpering pulp, has knocked a lick of its wry fire out.
But in the main The Ship's Piano does the man's old trick like magic: if he is not a touter of wordy bells-and-whistles, Hayman is regardless a master of simultaneously writing powerfully and underwhelmingly. And if he's not yet unanimously considered the greatest cardigan-stylee speccy-sporting dweeby loser type songwriter-man of recent decades, he's surely on his miserable, merry way.

The Rimac Concept One is a 1,088 horsepower electric super car designed by 23 year old Croatian Mate Rimac that is set to take on the supercar establishment—if we ever actually see it in action. This video goes behind the scenes at Rimac's Croatian world headquarters
We've seen the Concept One move at low speeds and on display at Frankfurt but we still haven't seen any evidence the Concept One can back up its claimed 1,088 hp, 2,802 lb-ft of torque and top speed of 189 MPH.
Unfortunately this video is still not the proof we are looking for, but it is an interesting behind the scenes look at the Rimac factory in Croatia, where the Concept One will be built, with a little hooning in Rimac's Electric E30 thrown in for good measure.

Some of things I have learned about and written about in my blog over the past three years I would have never imagined three years ago let alone forty years ago when I was handed a MD diploma. Here are some of them.
1.Alternative medicine, AKA integrative medicine, AKA woo . This is many ways may be the most mind boggling. Whatever you want to call it, Dr RW called is quackademics, "it" has moved into the medical school curriculum, research activities and the accepting mind sets of many medical students. We see large numbers of government funded research grants and for many of the projects all you can say is "you've got to be kidding me".
2.The role of the AMA in damaging primary care through its development and continuing support of an advisory group that virtually sets fees from CMS and does so in such a way as to denigrate primary care and elevate procedure based medical specialists.Three years ago I had not even heard about the RUC ( Relative value scale update committee) and paid too little attention to the RBRVS (Resource Based Relative Value Scale ). With friends like the AMA...
3. Three years ago I had not heard of DrRich's thoughts regarding "covert rationing". Now that I have I cannot think of medical practice in the same way. His thoughts can be found at his web site and more completely in his book docs and I believe medical students and physicians alike should read what he is saying before they do anything else. On the insight scale this would be a ten.
4.The downward spiral of primary care. No. 2 above plays a role here but a major culprit is the price controls that are part of the Medicare system which I ranted about here.
5.Pay for performance (P4P) as absurd and wrong on so many levels as seems to be to me it continues to thrive and I believe make matters even worse in primary care. Physicians accepting bribes to do their job is just another example of the continuing loss of pride and ethical demise.
How to apply group data to individual patients, the potential pitfalls and traps and tricks of evidence based medicine (EBM) and how some can pervert the sound principles of EMB to their own ends are some of the thoughts that have recurred in my mind and in my blog. Thanks to those who have commented on my comments, some of which were laudatory and a few of which were not and the occasional one who missed the point or whose mind set is imbued with a different vision. I know I have learned more from other blogs than they have from mine but it has been and I hope will continue to be a blast.

8th District Court - Civil Division
Civil Actions
The District Court has jurisdiction in civil actions claiming $25,000 or less. Civil actions are typically handled by attorneys who prepare the content of the complaint, answer the complaint, file motions, answer motions, and support their clients' position using applicable statutes and case law. Although legal representation is not a requirement in a civil action, most clients choose to be represented. Court Staff will provide general procedural assistance to parties who represent themselves; i.e. regarding State approved forms and time parameters within which an answer must be filed. However, Court Clerks are not attorneys and cannot give legal advice. If you need legal advice contact an attorney. For a list of local attorneys visit the Kalamazoo County Bar website.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Ethical Fashion' tag.
Sometimes we do hear about the big world even though we're working in remote villages dealing with issues such as late monsoons, early pests, quality control of composts and cotton fibre.
Recently we learned about the Ethical Fashion Forum putting up a blog on the site of leading fashion magazine Drapers: http://www.drapersonline.com/the-ethical-fashion-forum
THIS IS GREAT news !! Well done EFF.
Zameen also managed to convince the mainstream media to pay attention – or rather the Ashoka Foundation put them on to us. This was in the social enterprise special of India's leading OUTLOOK magazine.
It seems sustainable textiles is becoming mainstream which is good news for farmers and factory workers worldwide.
Now that the sector is growing it is time to bring in some clarity. A Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) section of the movement if you will. Till now anyone who did anything green and fair was a pioneer. No longer… More about "what to do" in the next blog entry.
Meanwhile, sit back, relax and stay true to the cause

G&B Fishing Products has successfully been bringing brands to market since their inception in 2002. It was in this year that we signed up with a relatively unknown reel company. Avet Reels had a strong brand presence on the West Coast, yet the East Coast was not familiar with the brand. As a matter of fact, hardly anyone had knowledge of G&B, so we began to work the streets with a strategic marketing campaign that quickly penetrated the East Coast market and helped make Avet and G&B a name of quality.
With the Avet success, other West Coast brands started looking for more visibility on the East Coast. G&B became the company to go to if you were looking for more market share on the East Coast. Now, successful brands like Seeker Rods and KIR apparel share in our successes, and are gaining more market share from the relationships that were forged at this time. Looking to extend our portfolio, we teamed up with Stingofish in 2009. Stingofish came to us with a strong product line but with no brand presence, and was looking for a partner to bring them to life in the fishing industry. We started off slow, building the brand's awareness with targeted marketing strategies. Placing the product in a few key retail shops, Stingofish started to grow, and their products are gaining more and more recognition.
What we do
It is not by luck we are able to do what we do. It is through understanding fishing, tactical strategies, and strong industry partnerships, that are we able to have our successes. Companies that come to us understand that there may be bigger avenues they can use to blast their products into market, but it could be at the cost of their brands reputation. Companies that come to us know that we will find the perfect niche for their product because we spot the opportunities others are missing. Companies that come to us know that strategy teamed up with a quality product will lead to strong brand loyalty with the most avid fishermen. We are one of only a few full-time fishing representatives here on the East Coast. Why trust your brand to a part-time salesman? Why trust your company to someone who has little to lose? This is what we do and we think about it 24/7. If we fail you, we fail our families: What better incentive is there for us to succeed?
Who We Are
We are the people who get the job done. Yes, we can say we are accomplished tournament fishermen, and we can say that we are passionate about fishing. But it takes more than that to make it these days. In a time when shops are going out of business daily, and everyone has a product to sell, things in the industry are clouding up. People are afraid of new brands, and some have stopped trusting their old brands. Love us or hate us, we have a reputation of quality in the industry. Having your brand backed by G&B means you're more likely to succeed: Shops know this and so should you.
