If you browse through the websites of paint manufacturers, you will quickly notice that violet will be the trending colour in 2017. Shades of blue and grey are not that far behind. Here are the results of our exploration.
Bétonel found its inspiration in the universe and in outer space. Its featured colour: Starry Sky in the shades of violet, which could complement any room. Night blue and grey are also trending colours. And since not everyone embraces violet, Bétonel offers a solution: integrating violet accessories into the home.
Since we are living in an environmentally friendly era, Bétonel also proposes a colour palette that brings nature inside the home.
Sico features a blue-grey violet colour called Mozart Violet. According to the manufacturer, this colour has all it takes to give a luxurious feel to a living room or create a soothing atmosphere in a bedroom.
As for the home office, Sico suggests a whole range of colours: Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Furtive Mauve, Greyish Blue, Citrus Yellow, Sockeye Salmon, Zen Green, Pale Purple and Beach Taupe.
Benjamin Moore features the colour Shadow, the master of ambiance: a violet colour with intense blueish tones that gives a very rich and royal feel to a room. As cited on their website: "Indulge your mysterious side. Let Shadow set the mood".
BEHR has categorized its colours of the year in three trending palettes: comfortable, composed and confident. Each palette it suited to a personal style. Shades of blue, purple and grey are the common denominator. BEHR describes their colours as trendsetters.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Most paint manufacturers display videos on their websites. Check them out, if only to see the colours dance before your eyes.
In addition, many manufacturers propose very daring colour pairings. No lack of imagination nor fantasy there. The names are just as dreamy as always: Smoke Turquoise, Cedar Shadow, Red Candy, Geisha's Cheeks, New Moon, Stormy Monday, Diva Glam, Flickering Flame and many others.

Salade Niçoise
Salad. The word is ripe with meanings. Could be dessert, breakfast, a hearty meal, a light spring side, could be greens and a little dressing or contain nothing green at all…might be the whole meal or just a nibble to whet your appetite. I'm a big fan of savory salads that have intention, I love a composed salad, have a sweet spot for any salad with a hit of protein, and of course…add olives to anything and I'm in!
A niçoise salad hits every mark and is easily made almost any time of year!
This recipe comes from Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan. I first learned about this book via NPR and The Splendid Table with Lynn Rossetto Kasper who interviewed Dorie. However, this salad hardly needs a recipe at all (but I posted it below).
We were inspired to make a niçoise after reading a Cook's Illustrated review of canned tuna focusing not only on taste but also on sustainability and ethics of the company. American Tuna came out on top…and when we spotted it while grocery shopping…we knew just what we would be making with it.
The tuna is worth the additional cost and the quality is outstanding.
Recipe (courtesy of Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan)
8-12 small potatoes, scrubbed
2 5 to 6 oz. cans tuna packed in oil, drained
4 tomatoes, cut into chunks or 20 grape tomatoes, halved
3/4 lb. green beans, trimmed
4 hard-boiled eggs
about 20 Niçoise olives, pitted
2 tbsps. capers, drained and patted dry
8 anchovies, rinsed and patted dry (we skipped the anchovies)
4-6 handfuls of bibb lettuce
1 shallot, finely chopped
olive oil
light vinegar or lemon juice
chopped fresh parsley for garnish
salt and freshly ground pepper
Since it was just the two of us, we halved the recipe and the portions were very generous!
Start by cooking the potatoes in boiling and salted water. You'll want to cook the potatoes whole, they will hold their shape and look crisper for the salad. Depending on the size, they should take between 10-15 minutes…and I would err on the shorter side. You can test the doneness by piercing one of the potatoes with a paring knife.
We happen to have some hard-boiled eggs on hand from earlier in the week, but if they are not a standard in your fridge…go ahead and hard boil the eggs using your preferred method and make sure they have time to cool down before peeling and quartering them. Depending on the size of tomato you use, quarter or half the tomatoes.
The green beans need only a very quick blanch in salted boiling water and a quick cool-off in some ice water. Once you have all your ingredients ready to go – it's time to pull it all together. Mix up the dressing…a little olive oil, shallots and vinegar seasoned with salt and pepper.
Toss the lettuce with the dressing and pile high on the plate and then top with all the fixings…in whatever fashion grabs you in the moment. Open a lovely crisp bottle of white wine to cut through the oil of the tuna, olives and anchovies and the salt of the capers and olives and you've got dinner on the table!
Bon Appétit!

Just in Case You Haven't Heard…
Posted March 2, 2017on:
WINDS OF HOPE, the prequel to the Kate Neilson Series, debuted this week. You can find it in eBook format on Amazon for less than a dollar. For those who prefer to hold a print version in their hands, that should be available by March 25. Thanks so much for your interest. I think you'll enjoy this early look at the lives of some of your favorite Whispering Pines characters. If you do, please leave a review (ha, it rhymes!). Here's a description.
A beautiful ex-felon who's had her fill of men. A crotchety old ranch hand who loved and lost. A lonely rancher facing a difficult summer.
Kate Neilson leaves a Pennsylvania penitentiary and heads for The Whispering Pines Guest Ranch in Wyoming. Although she's determined to be a good citizen and support herself with her newly acquired marketing skills, other forces are just as intent on dragging her back into the pit. Can Kate withstand those who oppose her—and learn to love again?
Cyrus Moore, a longtime Whispering Pines ranch hand, has lost the women he once loved, including his daughter, who left for the university and never returned home. When he learns the WP owner, Laura Duncan, offered an internship to a university graduate who looks like his daughter, he vows to put the young woman in her place.
Since his father's death, Mike Duncan's only desire has been to help his mother keep their guest ranch running smoothly. But lately, despite the work that occupies most of his waking hours, and despite the longtime friends and neighbors who surround him, loneliness plucks his heartstrings like a lost melody.
Winds of Hope is the prequel to the Kate Neilson Series, contemporary romantic suspense novels set on a picturesque guest ranch nestled deep in Wyoming's Sierra Madre Mountains. If you like engaging characters, vivid locations and high-octane action, you'll love Winds of Hope and the other Kate Neilson stories that follow—Winds of Wyoming, Winds of Freedom and Winds of Wyoming.

No done deals, but Phils active at Winter Meetings
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Other than dismissing or downplaying rumors involving Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee, Domonic Brown and Jonathan Papelbon, Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has had little to say at the Winter Meetings.
He offered a small nugget Wednesday afternoon.
"We've got stuff going on," Amaro said.
Sure, Ruben.
"No, no," Amaro insisted. "We've got something for you. Maybe. Not before you leave. There's still 24 hours or so left, you never know."
The Phillies are looking for starting pitching. Top-tier free agents like Matt Garza, Ubaldo Jimenez and Ervin Santana do not seem like a possibility at this point. They have expressed interest in Bronson Arroyo, although it appears they are not front-runners. They have inquired about A.J. Burnett and others.
They have talked to teams about making trades.
"We've laid some groundwork," Amaro said. "It doesn't mean necessarily anything is going to get done, but we've had some good discussions. We have left no stone unturned."
Amaro believes the Phils have the players available to acquire a quality pitcher in a trade.
"It's just a matter of whether or not we want to utilize them," he said, "whether we want to keep the depth for us, just in case. That's what we have to weigh."
In previous years, it would be an easier decision to make. The Phillies had winning teams on the cusp of a World Series championship. It made more sense to trade top prospects for a top pitcher or top hitter because they believed they were one piece from winning another title.
But Philadelphia lost 89 games last season, scoring the fourth-fewest runs in baseball and ranking second to last in the National League in ERA.
One player might not be enough.
It is why the Phils might try to acquire two No. 4 or 5 starters rather than one No. 3. A lack of starting-pitching depth crippled them last season. They need to be better prepared to handle injuries or ineffectiveness. Following Hamels and Lee, they have Kyle Kendrick, Miguel Gonzalez and Jonathan Pettibone.
That's it, unless they try Ethan Martin as a starter to open the season.
"[Staying put] may be best, to give us some depth on the pitching side, rather than going for a home run," Amaro said. "I like going for the home run a lot. It may be best for us to try to maintain some flexibility and add depth. There is a fine line. Should we try to hit a home run or hit a couple of doubles?"
Have they at least talked about "home run" moves?
"We've talked about them internally," he said.
That is somewhat of a surprise, considering in winters past the Phillies pursued names like Roy Halladay, Lee, Papelbon and Raul Ibanez.
"I think their team is in a position where they are trying to work on what's below, but they're trying to win now," said agent Scott Boras, who represents Brown. "When you're in that position, it's hard to say when you look in the glass of water that it's crystal clear. It's a hard process. It's a very hard process."
One of the reasons the Phils have been shopping Brown is because they believe he could get them young pitching.
Boras said he isn't surprised Brown's name is popping up in trade rumors, despite a breakout season and the fact that Philadelphia needs to get younger.
"Really, when you have breakout young players that teams have control over for a long time, I think it's pretty customary that teams are going to be interested in them," Boras said. "Again, anybody with 20-plus home run power these days, we're talking about annually, there's like 40 of them in the league. That's a little over one a team. So when you hit 27 home runs, like Domonic did, clubs are going to pay attention and try to acquire those assets."
Boras disputed the notion that the Phillies are dangling Brown, however.
"I think it's unfair to say they're dangling him," he said. "I would expect that teams are going to ask Philadelphia … because they may be offering them more veteran players to help in their direction toward winning now. That's the give and go of this. It's like eating and brushing your teeth at the same time. You want clean teeth, but then again, you want to survive. So I don't know quite how you do it."

It seems pretty good, has built in toolpath generation, and the commercial licensing costs seem reasonable..Most of the videos I've seen promoting it seem to end up having been sponsored by AutoCAD though, so it's hard to be sure..
Really interesting stuff, I'm quite surprised with the range of different software everyone is using. Does anyone else use inventor - like I say I am lucky enough to have genuine free access to this but it is tricky - but then like you have said, I expect they all take years of learning.

While the battle between Gerald Coleman and Jonathan Boutin in jockeying for position for the title of "goaltender of the future" continues to rage on, [url=http://www.sm-liiga.fi/tulospalvelu.asp?palvelu=2&raportti=29685]Karri Ramo may very well be winning the war.[/url] Today Ramo once again stood on his head to carry his attrocious Pelicans SM-liiga team to a shutout 2-0 victory over Tappara in which he stopped 42 of 42 shots. That's impressive. Especially when you consider the woeful band of players in front of him were outshot 42-18. Ramo now has a .919 save percentage and a 3.23 GAA in the SM-liiga, against full grown men, on a team which sits dead last on the SM-liiga table. His statistical dominance becomes even more interesting when you begin to take a look at what he's accomplished at the Junior A level for the Pelicans this season.

The dress I'm wearing has a photo print front. I must have worn it about three times before I realized that, upon closer inspection, there's a couple sitting at the water's edge. So much for attention to detail. In all fairness, it's a little hard to make out when you're wearing it. From a distance? Easy as pie.
I'm rediscovering dresses now that the days are warming up. I don't feel as silly wearing a skirt or dress with my house flip-flops, it's casual, but so what? Wearing tights and fuzzy slippers in winter, on the other hand, was a whole other story. A story that wasn't going to happen.
Anyone else feel compelled to wear red and green? It's like Christmas over here all over again.

"Disco Demolition 2" Asks Fans to Torch Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus CDs
In 1979, the Chicago White Sox hosted Disco Demolition Night, inviting fans to bring disco records to Comiskey Park, then blowing them up on the field between doubleheader games. Saturday, a minor league franchise will destroy a bunch of Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber CDs in an attempt to replicate the zany stunt.
These days, the original Disco Demolition Night is mostly remembered as a disaster. Fans, eager for the 98-cent tickets on offer and a chance to take a stand against the girly-as-heck music that dominated airwaves at the time, arrived in droves and stormed the field after the big explosion. Many of them refused to return to the stands, and, after Chicago police arrived in full riot gear, the White Sox were forced to forfeit game two to the Detroit Tigers.
Nile Rodgers of that one Daft Punk song compared the event to a Nazi book-burning, and Rolling Stone's Dave Marsh pointedly called it a "paranoid fantasy about where the ethnic cleansing of the rock radio could ultimately lead." Gay people like disco! Black people like disco! We like good-old-fashioned electric guitars!
This weekend, Charleston, South Carolina's RiverDogs will attempt to capture the magic again in a game against the Augusta GreenJackets. From the Los Angeles Times:
"Like so many, we have taken special exception to Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus's music along with his numerous run-ins with the law and her controversial performances," RiverDogs General Manager Dave Echols said in a news release. "'Disco Demolition 2' is dedicated to the eradication of their dread musical disease, like the original Disco Demolition attempted to do. We are going to take Bieber and Cyrus's merchandise and memorabilia, put it in a giant box, and blow it to smithereens. It is all in good fun, and we guarantee there won't be a forfeit of a game."
Dopey as they were, at least the rawk-n-rollers behind the original riot had some respectable commercial alternatives. Who is Disco Demolition 2.0 even rooting for? Neon Trees?

Researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center showed for the first time that the loss or decreased expression of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN plays a central role in the malignant transformation of benign nerve tumors called neurofibromas into a malignant and extremely deadly form of sarcoma.
The work, a collaboration between the Institute for Molecular Medicine, the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology and the cancer center's Sarcoma Program, could lead to the development of new therapies that target the cell signaling pathway regulated by PTEN. A novel mouse model of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) developed at UCLA first illustrated the importance of PTEN tumor suppressor in malignant transformation and this finding was validated in human malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, the deadly sarcomas.
The study will be published this week in the early online edition of the peer-reviewed journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"The loss of expression of PTEN in the human sarcomas we studied mirrored the loss of PTEN in mice, and we anticipate being able to target this pathway abnormality for the development of new methods of diagnosis and treatment" said Dr. Fritz Eilber, director of the Sarcoma Program and an assistant professor of surgical oncology. "Within the sarcoma world, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors are one of the most lethal sub-types, so this is a significant finding and may lead to new and more effective treatments."
NF1 is one of the most common genetically inherited disorders, with an incidence of about 1 in every 2,500 births, said, Dr. Hong Wu, associate director of the molecular medicine institute, a Jonsson Cancer Center researcher and senior author of the study.
"Patients with NF1 have an about 10 percent lifetime risk of developing this lethal sarcoma sub-type," Wu said.
The study also showed that Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanning with the glucose analogue FDG - both in the mice and in humans - is a highly accurate way to distinguish between the benign tumors and the malignant ones, indicating that this non-invasive imaging technology is valuable in assessing therapeutic response to new treatments.
Wu created the mouse model with two of her graduate students, Caroline Gregorian and Jonathan Nakashima, co-first authors of this paper. It was created by altering two cell signaling pathways that are commonly activated in peripheral and central nervous system cancers, the RAS/RAF/MAPK & PTEN/P13K/AKT pathways, known to regulate cell proliferation, survival and differentiation.
"When we began to generate mouse models to mimic different human cancers, we usually did gene-based analysis to see the relevance of a specific gene in the development of the cancer," Wu said. "But we realize that sometimes targeting the cell signaling pathways that organize and instruct cells to function, both for normal functions of our body and also in abnormal ways in disease, are more important and informative than the individual gene"
The mouse model developed benign neurofibromas, but then progressed to the deadly sub-type of sarcoma. The neurofibromas had half the normal levels of PTEN and the sarcomas had a complete loss of PTEN. Since PTEN is an important factor in suppressing cells from becoming malignant, this could provide an explanation for the sequence of the normal cells transforming into benign neurofibromas that could then transform into cancer.
Wondering if this was also the case in people, Dr. Wu collaborated with Eilber and pathologist Dr. Sarah Dry, director of the Institute of Molecular Medicine's Pathway Pathology Center, and a multidisciplinary team of physician-scientists to determine if people with this sarcoma sub-type also had little or no PTEN.
"This type of collaboration is the hallmark of the work at the Jonsson Cancer Center and molecular medicine institute - translating discoveries in a basic science lab into discoveries in patients," Wu said.
Currently, there are no effective treatments to prevent the benign NF1 tumors from transforming into cancer. The genetically engineered mouse model will be used to screen drugs that may be able to target the signaling pathway regulated by PTEN, to block signals that instruct the cells to change from a benign state to a malignant one, providing treatment options for patients with the deadly form of cancer.
"I think these findings will help us provide a better diagnosis that can determine if the neurofibroma is becoming a malignant tumor or not," Eilber said. "But more importantly, the loss of the PTEN and its associated signaling pathways gives us targets for therapy and it may lay the foundation for treatment in other sarcomas as well."

QR codes are recognizable by most. They consist of a square pattern with black modules on a white background. QR codes are a type of barcode but differ from traditional barcodes in that they can store hundreds of times more data. QR codes originated in Japan in 1994 and were invented by a company called Denso-Wave. Denso-Wave is a subsidiary of Toyota and created QR codes as a way to track automotive parts during the manufacturing process. QR codes have only recently begun to gain popularity within the United States.
QR codes can be used for many purposes. They can store information such as web addresses, contact information, pictures, SMS text messages, newsletters, coupons, discounts, and much more. QR codes can be read by scanning them with a QR code scanner enabled smartphone. Once scanned, the QR code is decoded and the user is directed to the intended information.
QR codes are unique because they can be customized. This means that things such as logos, brand names, and images can be added to QR codes and they can still be successfully scanned and decoded. QR codes can be customized because of their error correction feature. The higher the error correction level of a QR code, the more of it can be covered to include a custom image or logo. As a general rule, about 30% of a QR code can be erased to make room for an image or logo and it will still scan correctly.
QR codes have the capability to store a number of different character sets. Character sets refer to the type of information that the QR code is holding; QR codes are capable of storing numeric, binary, alphanumeric, and Kanji characters. The maximum amount of characters that can be included in a QR code depends on the code's character set.
QR codes are proving to have endless uses and one of their most effective uses is in marketing. These codes have proven to be a very effective marketing tool and can connect users with information and special offers at the click of a button. QR codes are likely to continue to grow in popularity.

A strange phenomenon has occurred this week in downtown Los Angeles. Hordes upon hordes of pallid, humorless and bespectacled killjoys, dressed in drab, unseasonal clothing, sporting strange unfashionable facial hair or absence of hair on top, regardless of gender, have assaulted the Convention Center. Not that the LACC itself is a particularly fun place to be in ordinary time, what with its institutional architecture and the occasional Matt Mullican artwork, but this week it has to endure the annual CAA conference. No, not the local CAA (hello tenpercenters! how's business in this economy? ) housed in the Century City Death Star, but the professional entity otherwise known as the College Art Association.
Every year they organize a behemoth nomadic gathering where art historians, artists, curators and critics meet, ostentatiously for scholarly sessions about solemn subjects ranging from the esoteric ( Cultures for Display: Practices of Exhibiting Non-Western and Latin-American Art In Euro-American Institutional Networks) to the generic (What is contemporary art?).
The esoteric example above is pretty typical of the poor vocabulary employed in that type of event: they could have easily shortened their title to: "Exhibiting other cultures in Western institutions", gee, I'm sure it would have lowered their carbon footprint a little bit, by one or two grams at least. In that same session someone uses the term "A Nonpolemicized Concept". Uh, "non polemical" is too plebeian? I understand the verb ending, thank you (can you believe I got a Ph. D. just so to be able to decipher Jargonese???), but, uh, if no one started a polemic about it, maybe it's not worth wasting a scholarly session on it, methinks.
On the other end of the spectrum, the generic one, I'm sure the participants must have had a great time defining : "what is what? What is is? what is contemporary? What is art?"
Usually they (CAA) keep their stuff in frigid cities back East, or even in the Midwest, so no one here really feels like it's a necessity to go there, unless one needs to apply for a teaching job and be interviewed at the cattle call held jointly, for fabulous 1-year non-renewable non-tenure track positions in unknown colleges in no less unknown towns where, no doubt, the food must be unspeakable, or worse, inedible. No wonder academics spend their time writing and reading crime novels! One need an outlet after being made to suffer through such indignities as enduring a CAA session where phrases include: "paradigmatic shift" (used mainly when things are stagnant), titles are made post-Barthesian by an immoderate use of the" / " or "and/or", identities are forever in the need to be reframed and concepts have to be hybridized, or worse, enhanced. "Politics" in your title earns you brownie points, "Questioning" and "Frameworks" within the same sentence can make you win the Monopoly!
All of this normally has to happen within a singular instance, such as: "Re/Framing hybridized identity - the nonpolemicized paradigmatic shift from Western exhibition practice to an enhanced experience of the Bamiliéké sculptural process at the Wetchester Municipal Gallery: whose signification is this? A case study." I think someone should do performance art about it, quick! Michael Smith, where are you?
One understand why academics as a whole body should be taken to drinking, or develop an addiction to Prozac (Cocaine is too expensive for scholars, and meth is reserved for hillbillies, despite being easier to procure in parts where dour scholars are forced to teach).
No wonder why scholars hate curators: not only museum people get to see REAL ART ALL THE TIME and not just slides (or more accurately: jpegs stolen off the internet and pasted onto dumb Ppt. presentations) but they get to hang out with art dealers and collectors at glam events where:
a) the food is much, much better,
b) sometimes the art dealers are
c) curators don't have to write Jargonese, since they have to make art understandable to everybody, not just to academics.
To balance it out, curators constantly have to legitimize what they do to the public at large, whereas art historians don't have to justify that much what they do, and they don't have to hustle for private money just to be able to do their job.
Besides the sessions and the job fair/cattle call, CAA is also a networking occasion. I always wonder if the scholars hook up (they're all housed in the same hotels), but from the look of them it doesn't seem like many of them are ever getting laid. Even the gay ones look drab! Go figure!
[Incidentally, if some male gay CAA attendees are reading this. For the love of everything that's sacred and holy and precious, please stop shaving your heads. It's soooo last century. Keep whatever you have left short, and invest in good hats, but stop the billiard ball look, OK?]
The problem with CAA, in all fairness, doesn't reside with the organization itself, but in the fact that art history in America hasn't exactly advanced as a discipline in general for a couple of decades now. IMHO it has remained stagnant for many of the same reasons that make "America The Concept" unpalatable to foreign populations: insularity.
It's all very well to go all anti-Western and to try to advance the cause of minorities within the art discourse, or to brandish political art as the only type worth studying, etc. but the problem it creates is a tiny, micro-sectioned view of art: take a small slice of the sample, hold it under the microscope, and use that tiny sample to draw conclusions. It can be useful, but only up to a point: by now most everybody is pretty well aware of the structure of power at play within the art discourse, so there's no reason to repeat the same conclusion ad nauseam.
Meanwhile, there's a partial loss of general knowledge about art history that make some US scholars (not all of them, mind you, but many who populate CAA sessions) seemingly unaware that there is or was a study of many of the same problems available 80, 100 years ago. It pains me to see people discoursing about Public Art without having any idea of what Alois Riegl has published about monuments. In 1903. Or that art historians would use the word "wunderkammer" without having read Julius von Schlosser (or without knowing the rules of the plural in German, but that's another debate).
I'm happy the Getty (the GRI) went out of its way to publish Aby Warburg's complete writings (the essay on International Astrology is a personal favorite) but I think they should provide the US art historians with a complete series panning the corpus of the discipline, so Pliny the Elder and Philostratus and Vitruvius and Vasari and Winckelmann, etc. would be readily available.
Aside from the discipline ancestors, there are loads of foreign art historians (German, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, etc.) who are only partially translated or not translated at all in English, and sometimes British historians whose publications are not available here.
It's ridiculous, and it deprives young scholars from a deep well of knowledge that could, I don't know, prove useful, insightful, and may make them study broader problems than the problem of identity politics in the local display of watercolors. I know scholars should read at least 2 other languages, but let's be realistic, very few actually do, and finding foreign publications here when the domestic ones get out of print so fast is an expensive endeavor. In any case I think it would do the US practitioners of art history a lot of good to have this general corpus available, and it would help everybody to get out of the post-Greenberg-post-October-post-Critical-studies miasma we've been collectively immersed in for too long (I also think a hefty dose of sociology and anthropology would do everybody tons of good).
In addition, and this is for all art historians on the planet, not only the CAA attendees: I strongly advise you hang out with real artists, even if your specialty is 17th century Dutch or Precolumbian or whatever. It will give you a better understanding of the challenges of actually making art, which in turn could help you understand the how and why of the way art looks. So you can talk about it without having to resort to the tired clichés and/or the theoretical crutches you've been forced-fed in graduate school.
Of course like all dreary events there are a few highlights at CAA that help save it from total gloom: the Svletana Alpers lovefest yesterday, featuring FBC! favorite North American academic, the adorable Thomas Crow (who doesn't speak or write Jargonese ever! He loves real art! He's the nicest person ever! He knows who are all these people I've just written about, and he has read them!).
Stephen Melville, on the other hand, was totally boring. In attendance was Thierry de Duve, who supervised my master thesis (hi!), but as far as I know didn't present any paper at CAA.
At exactly the same time as the Alpers-session was a session on the Sublime I missed with Ivan Gaskell, whose writings I like. Read Gaskell!
I also got to hang out with Robert Simon of Robert Simon Fine Arts, who kindly gave us a tour of the Getty Baroque Emotions show (awesome show!). Very enjoyable, I learned a lot and he also obligingly confirmed the altarpiece painting here was late 15th/early 16th century Italian (he also told me the name but I didn't write it down, and the 2 pieces on the sides are Rubens). Running into various former colleagues from LACMA was fun.
Lastly, the book section made me stumble upon a new small press, Hol Art Books from Tucson, Arizona. They're reprinting articles about the 1913 Armory Show, for example (For and Against) as well as launching new publications by living authors very soon. They had the most adorable pink booth ever, and were the nicest people around. I hope you stop by and purchase some of their publications!

AIIC – an inclusive and representative professional body
As professionals we tend to think that there are advantages to banding together and that membership in a world-wide association of staff and freelance interpreters merits serious consideration. We would like to share our vision with you.
- Veröffentlicht:
- Letzte Aktualisierung:
AIIC - What it is
The International Association of Conference Interpreters – commonly known by its French acronym, AIIC – was founded in 1953 when conference interpreting was still a fledgling profession. Today it has over 2900 members in more than 100 countries with a full-time secretariat in Geneva. When applying for membership, candidates make a commitment to respect AIIC's Code of Ethics and Professional Standards, which are at the heart of a collective effort to promote professionalism and quality.
Our profession is international by nature. Its practice knows no borders, and thus it makes sense for interpreters to be organised as a single international body rather than as a federation of national groups. Conference venues are not chosen according to where interpreters live. In that sense, supply goes after demand, and not the other way around. AIIC is present throughout the world. Its members are organised in regions by place of residence. But membership is portable: when you change country of residence, you take your membership with you.
AIIC is also organised on a functional basis by sectors. The Agreement Sector brings together interpreters working for the major international organisations with which AIIC has negotiated collective agreements for many years. The Private Market Sector serves as a forum for freelancers and consultant interpreters working for a variety of non-institutional clients. And AIIC's Staff Interpreters' Committee gathers all members who hold a full-time position in national or international bodies.
AIIC Principles and Standards
AIIC recognises that quality interpretation depends on more than an individual interpreter's knowledge and skills. Working conditions, a spirit of collegiality in a profession where one rarely works alone, and the quality of conference and simultaneous interpretation equipment in a field often dependent on technology are but a few of the factors that will affect the interpreter's performance. It is especially important to be able to sustain performance over the years. After all, interpreters like other professionals also look forward to a long and productive career.
As stated above, AIIC's Code of Ethics and Professional Standards articulate a vision for a lifetime of productive, quality interpreting. The agreements negotiated with major international organisations, which apply to all interpreters and not only AIIC members, incorporate those same universal standards as well as other factors specific to each body.
AIIC groups and projects aim to advance the profession and to build on past achievements, through:
Many AIIC members are also consultant interpreters who organise teams for a variety of customers. Experience, common sense, people skills and business acumen are all required, as is a firm grasp of legal and technical issues. AIIC aims to help its members who undertake such work through information sharing.
Why AIIC membership is important
In the absence of any formal recognition of the profession, AIIC has become the main point of reference for the technical standards and working conditions required to guarantee quality, safeguard health, and train the future generations of colleagues. The goal is to assure the best possible service to clients and to create safeguards in practice that will contribute to professional interpreters having successful careers that span a lifetime.
Anyone who has been interpreting long enough will have encountered tricky situations. Although it is understandably difficult to turn down job offers, too many compromises on working conditions can be detrimental in the long run. Unless one is aware of the pitfalls – and thus avoids or prevents them - many things can go wrong, such as:
- Finding yourself alone in the booth with nobody to help you or take over;
- Being expected to work from/into languages that are not part of your language combination;
- Booth without any proper sound insulation – or even no interpreting booth at all;
- Booths facing a wall with a single TV monitor for all 5 booths
- Having no technician on site to monitor the SI equipment and sound quality.
Unfortunately, the list of problems can go on and on. The potential for problems is great if interpreters are caught unawares. Which brings us back to AIIC. Its purpose is to try and prevent such pitfalls by adopting appropriate standards and guidelines and by sharing information on best practice with all stakeholders in the conference industry.
How to join
Membership is indicative of a commitment to your chosen profession and joins you with a group that can act in solidarity. Wherever you live, there are AIIC interpreters near you. In many cases AIIC members have ongoing contacts with national associations and unions. Many of you will already know a few AIIC members.
AIIC membership is based on peer review through a sponsorship system. The requirements for membership and the application form can be found online. You may also want to refer to Applying to AIIC: a Primer for practical examples and advice.

"State of the Dream 2004: Enduring Disparities in Black and White," released in January by United for a Fair Economy, catalogues the continuing and, in some cases, worsening gaps of income, wealth, poverty, health, housing, education, and imprisonment among African-American and white populations in the United States in the last 30 years.
- White homeownership has increased 10 percent since 1970; African-American homeownership has risen 6 percent.
- At this rate, it will take 1,664 years to close the homeownership gapabout 55 generations.
- The African-American poverty rate was three times greater than the white poverty rate in 2002.
- An African-American high-school graduate working full time from ages 25 to 64 would earn $300,000 less than a white high-school graduate.
- The 2001 infant mortality rate was 14 deaths per 1,000 live births for African Americans and 5.7 for whites.
- For every dollar of white income per capita, African Americans had 55 cents in 1968 and only 57 cents in 2001.
- At this rate, it will take African Americans 581 years to get the remaining 43 cents.

Saudi woman driver hurt after defying ban
A young woman in Saudi Arabia who defied ultra-conservative kingdom's ban on women driving was injured when the car span out of control and plunged into a stream, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The unnamed woman in her 20s "stole" her brother's car on Sunday, picked up a female friend and drove at high speed through a town in the Eastern Province before losing control of the vehicle, Al-Riyadh said.
The car hit an electricity pole and plunged into an irrigation channel. Both the driver and her friend were taken to hospital in serious condition, the paper said.
There have been several incidents reported in recent years of women being killed in accidents when they were driving in defiance of the ban -- which is just one of a host of restrictions imposed on women in Saudi Arabia.
Women's rights campaigners have petitioned King Abdullah twice in the past year urging him to lift the ban.
Women in the Muslim Gulf kingdom are legally obliged to cover up from head to toe in public, and cannot travel without written permission from a male guardian.

Tom Cruise might be know for playing a slew of characters on the big screen, but on Monday the actor found out what life is really like at the country's top law school – at least for an hour.
According to Harvard's Law Record, on Monday, the actor attended a lecture at the prestigious university from his attorney Bert Fields, who was a guest of entertainment law professor Bruce Hay.

When Tom entered the classroom he was reportedly met with "nervous giggles and huge goofy grins" from the students. He then reportedly took a seat in the back of the classroom amongst the rest of the students and listened to the lecture.
According to the paper, Tom shared his own legal experiences during the hour-long class, referring to tabloids and issues surrounding the use of his image.

Following the lecture, the actor reportedly mingled with students and fielded questions from fans.
The student newspaper even wondered if Tom was a little more devoted to the students than the professors, saying, "Cruise probably gave more time to HLS students than many professors are able to after class. Sharing advice, stories, high fives, handshakes, hugs, and even at one point an impromptu dance, he made this early autumn evening at HLS an especially entertaining one for all students lucky enough to greet him in person."

Pat Lynch
In 1969 at the age of 25, Pat Lynch, having already served as the Press Secretary for a U.S. Senator and Congressman, founded her first advertising agency in Atlanta, Georgia. Ms. Lynch was the first woman to begin an advertising agency single-handedly in the South. By 1977, she had been listed twice in The World's Who's Who of Women and most recently in the International Who's Who and Strathmore's Who's Who.
In 1996, she began Women's Online Media and Education Network (W.O.M.E.N.) which produces WomensRadio, in order to "give women a greater voice!" WomensRadio, a converging medium, had its beginning on the Web as a rich, content Website for women leaders. In 2001, her company also began WomensCalendar. Today it is the largest databank of women's events in the world, #1 in all the major search engines and reaching hundreds of thousands of women leaders each week. In the summer of 2004, the company launched the SpeakerSpot, a dynamic speaker referral program which can be accessed by meeting planners internationally. In 2005, the company introduced a new audio production tool for the Web, AudioAcrobat®, that is now the state-of-the-art, audio and video production, streaming and Podcasting Web-based media tool. This service helps everyone to have audio and/or video streaming in their emails and on their Websites. It is the tool of choice for hundreds of broadcasting professionals who want to have their long-form programs included, both at WomensRadio and the new WomensRadio Channel, a syndicated 24/7 all talk Web radio for women.
During her years as the founder and CEO of her own advertising marketing company in Atlanta, she and her agency gained a reputation for introducing media, particularly radio and television, to industries which had never considered them to deliver their advertising messages. One such industry was residential real estate (including both rentals and sales).
Pat Lynch also contributes her time and experience to many not-for-profits. When the City of Atlanta had experienced a season of multiple killings of young people, a time when the economy was also in a slump, the city was looking for a number of ways to create community and give kids at risk a brighter outlook. She volunteered her time and helped to create the largest party for young people that has ever been conducted. With only three months to pull together all the details, "It's Time," was an all-day event hosting some 10,000 kids in Piedmont Park, the largest park in the city. All the transportation to the event, all the food, all the cooks and servers, all the entertainment, all the prizes, everything – was provided for free! Mayor Andrew Young and Gerri Elder, Commissioner of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, created a special plaque of appreciation which was presented to Ms. Lynch for her work in creating and conducting this event.
She has also worked tirelessly for other not-for-profits, largely in the area of publicity and/or fund-raising for such organizations as Cerebral Palsy Foundation, Muscular Dystrophy, American Heart Association.
While residing in California, she served on the boards of the Fresno, CA Court School PTA as President, Fresno Habitat for Humanity and the Fresno Ballet where she helped to raise funds to produce the first new Nutcracker in over 20 years. In the Bay Area, she served as the Media Chair for the California Women's Agenda, was a member of the Women's Leadership Alliance of the Bay Area, and was on the Board of Directors of the Afghan Coalition and Afghan Women's Association International.
She is a frequent speaker on the value of opening the media to women's voices and creating new communication bridges to the future. To inquire about having her as a speaker for your event, please call (888) 658-4635.
Pat is also the Host of Speak Up! on WomensRadio. Speak Up! invites women, and also men, who "speak" to women in terms of their values, their goals and their strong sense of community, to address issues, opportunities and successes that need to be heard by a larger audience of women leaders.

How to Fix the Dodgers
All-around baseball good guy Joe Torre is stepping down from his MLB front office position to pursue his interest in purchasing the Los Angeles Dodgers. While this is bad news (I think) for those of us who hoped he might take over for King Bud once the reign of terror is over at the end of the year, I have to think that a group headed by Torre is probably a great way to save this storied franchise.
Of course, there are alternatives. And yep, you guessed it. The RSBS interns are ready to report:
1. Go back in time, don't trade Kevin Brown and instead have him break Frank McCourt's hand so it won't wander onto a woman who isn't his wife.
2. Stop making it mandatory that Alyssa Milano wear clothes to the ballpark. (Holy Jackie Robinson, I've been in love with Alyssa for 20 years now; she just gets better looking!!!)
3. Trade Al-Farouq Aminu, Eric Gordon and Chris Kaman for superstar Chris Paul. Oh. Wait.
4. Get a mascot! I know just the one!
Or… if none of the above works…
How about signing Prince Fielder? Seriously. Make him some crazy offer like $30 million a year for 6 years or something. Wouldn't that make the Dodgers a nice, EXPENSIVE and attractive purchase? And besides, it's L.A. Just use somebody else's money.
Hate me. FINE. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Since this week is Educause I thought it would be a good time to talk about some of the momentum we've been having with Flex in higher education. I came from the higher education side of the industry so it's really great to see Flex do well. It's major props to our education teams and Terry Ryan, who has been doing the evangelism side of higher ed, that this year has been so good.
- Over 70,000 downloads of Flex Builder. That's a combination of student downloads, faculty downloads, and lab seats.
- Around 30,000 page views for our RIA teaching resources site which includes course project information, best practices, and other information to let professors incorporate RIAs into their curriculum.
- In a survey of faculty at mostly 4 year graduate and undergraduate institutions we found that 52% are requiring Flex Builder in their courses and that 85% of them are using it to teach about rich Internet applications. Most of the faculty came from computer science and multimedia programs.
- A number of technology partners in higher education including Stanford, Carnegie Mellon University, MIT, University of California – Berkeley, University of Missouri, and University of Southern California.
We've also got some interesting things going on at MIT, Stanford, and Berkeley. All of them have integrated Flex into the coursework in design interface classes (an example Stanford course and an example MIT course). Rochester Institute of Technology is planning on having some of their students do guest blog posts for InsideRIA. The University of Missouri has been working with our developer program and has run a couple of student contents including one that has students using the beta 2 of Flash Catalyst to create interactive content. One of the other cool things is that a lot of the schools are using Flash as a way to be on the cutting edge. RIT, Purdue, Georgia Tech and the Vancouver Film school are using Flash to research multi-touch and augmented reality projects.
It's great to see Flex in every part of higher ed from directly in the curriculum for classes to downloads for lab seats so that any student can go and experiment with Flex. Growing the base for Flex from the education side means more interesting Flex developers, more tinkering, and ultimately a better ecosystem for the Flash Platform. It will be great to see the momentum carry into 2010.
And of course, if you're a graduate getting ready to enter the job market, it's a pretty good time to be looking for Flex jobs.

Combine that fact with the fact that we know other Six Flags have a Mardi Gras festival and I'm about 99% sure that's what it is (also, it would be a very weird and random time to be announcing Holiday in the Park.)

Okay that was unfair of me to say that.
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maximus culpa.
Man pays courthouse with fake $50, arrest records sayQuad City Times-
(Iowa) - Yancy Terrell Cochran tried to bail a friend out of jail, but now he's facing charges himself for his effort.
Cochran, 35, of Davenport, went to the Scott County Courthouse on April 21 to post bail for a friend, but he used a counterfeit $50 bill, according to arrest records and officials.
Scott County criminal court clerk Angelica Kent first spotted the fake bill. She said Cochran gave her $300 worth of $50 bills.
When she marked them using a special pen — as she does all $50 and $100 bills she receives — the mark on one of the $50 bills turned black, she said. The mark is supposed to turn golden yellow.
Kent immediately called the Scott County Sheriff's Department, and Deputy Tara Dinneweth investigated the fake bill.
Dinneweth compared all of Cochran's $50 bills and found two with the same serial number, she said.
"At first glance, it looked real," Dinneweth said. "At closer inspection, it proved to be counterfeit."
The bill was confiscated.
Cochran told the clerks he got the fake bill from a check-cashing place, Kent said.
He later admitted to deputies that he made the counterfeit money at his home, Dinneweth said.
The sheriff's department searched Cochran's home and found a printer, scanner and paper used in making counterfeit money, Dinneweth said.
Cochran was charged April 23 with forgery, a felony that is punishable by up to five years in prison.
He has been at the Scott County Jail since Sunday night on unrelated charges of first-degree harassment and simple assault, both misdemeanors. He was booked into the jail Wednesday on the forgery charge.
He used the counterfeit money to bail out Marcella Payne, who was in jail for unpaid traffic tickets.
Cochran was asked to hand over another, real $50 bill after the fake one was confiscated.
"It's not advisable bringing that in to pay fines," Dinneweth said of counterfeit money.

I am unsure how to introduce these pictures. I do not know the occasion, I cannot really say it is a reunion. I do not know which family really pulled this together or why, I do not know at whose house the reunion took place. It seems like an impromptu gathering of the Neilson family, but yet there are Coley's present. Maybe the Coleys came to visit so the Neilsons all gathered too? But then there is the unknown woman. Is she related to the Neilsons, a distant relative of the Coleys, or both (since Edna Neilson, Art Coley, and Golden Coley are siblings with their mother Martha present).
About all I have been able to determine at this point is the pictures are believed to have been taken in Richmond, Cache, Utah in about 1950. We venture to guess sometime in the early spring due to the snow still on the mountains.
Martha Christiansen Coley (1879-1961) is the widow of Herbert Coley(1864-1942).
Edna Coley Neilson (1900-1983) is the daughter of Herbert and Martha Coley.
Olof Alma Neilson (1891-1960) is the husband of Edna Coley Neilson.
Harold Christian Neilson (1921-1966) is the son of Edna Neilson and Gerold Andrus (1903-1984) but was raised by Olof Neilson (you can read more under the above link for Edna).
Oma Dorine (Doreen) Johnson Neilson (later O'Neil)(1921-2003) is the wife of Harold Neilson.
Charlotte, Arlan, and CarolDean are all children of Harold and Doreen Neilson (although my records show none of these were born yet, but I have not been able to validate their birthdays).
Alma Russell "Russell" Neilson is the son of Olof and Edna Coley.
Gloria May Olson Neilson is the wife of Russell Neilson. I presume some of the unknowns in the photo are their children, but have not obtained that information yet.
Arthur "Art" Christiansen Coley(1921-2004), not in the above picture but below, is the son of Martha Coley.
Mary Elizabeth Popwitz Coley is the wife of Art Coley.
Stephen "Steve" G Coley is the son of Art and Mary Coley.
William Golden "Golden" Coley (1924-2009) is the son of Herbert and Martha Coley.
Shirley May Hall Coley is the wife of Golden Coley.
Joy Ann Coley is the daughter of Golden and Shirley Coley.
If anyone has contact with any of Harold or Russell's children, I would like for them to see the pictures and perhaps provide more information.
Above you can see Edna Neilson with the unknown lady who appears to be part of the reason the family assembled. Unfortunately, we do not know who the guest of honor is! Initially I thought it was some relation of the Neilson clan, but nobody alive in their family seems to know who she is. But then why would Martha Coley and two of her other children's families come to visit a Neilson visitor? Perhaps a sibling or sibling in law of Martha? Who knows? Hopefully some day I can find out and rewrite this post.
Here are the boys present on the occasion.
Here are the girls present on the occasion.
Since I presume these photos were all from Art and Mary's camera, of course there is a picture with Mary and Joy.
One last picture of part of the elusive woman with Harold and his two children, Arlan and CarolDean.

BAGHDAD - A family of five killed in their home. A group of men shot dead in a field. Eight bodies, tied up in cable, discovered on a farm, each with a bullet in the head.
BAGHDAD � A family of five killed in their home. A group of men shot dead in a field. Eight bodies, tied up in cable, discovered on a farm, each with a bullet in the head.
More than 300 Iraqis have been killed this month in bombings and shootings in markets, along roadsides, near schools and mosques, and in bakeries. On Tuesday, the U.N. Security Council condemned the recent spike in violence in Iraq and the deliberate targeting of places where civilians congregate.
But yesterday, the daily tally of violence took on an air of pinpoint deliberation with the execution-style killings of several groups of civilians.
The bodies of the eight young men tied in cable were found on a farm in Jubor, a Sunni city south of Baghdad, the same place bodies had been dumped during the sectarian turmoil seven years ago.
The bodies of five men shot in the head and chest were found in an open field in Shula, a Shiite neighborhood in Baghdad, authorities said.
The five family members, including two boys and a girl, were killed by gunshot in their house in Hurriya, a Shiite-majority neighborhood of Baghdad, police said. They were identified as Sunni.
The 18 dead were among at least 40 people, including security forces, who were killed in attacks across Iraq yesterday.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Some point to the civil war in neighboring Syria as a reason that sectarian divisions in Iraq have intensified.
