The special impact of this picture is partly explained by the fact that it was painted not in an artists' studio but on the deck of a Cornish fishing boat at Newlyn near Penzance. The artist paid the fishermen to pose for him. The boat is a two-masted Cornish lugger. When this picture was painted the Cornish fishing industry was at a peak and no less than 570 such boats were registered in the ports and harbours of Cornwall, employing 3,500 men and boys at sea. These boats were an average of forty foot in length with a beam of between twelve and fourteen feet. The 'fishing grounds' for such boats were inshore waters, where pilchard and herring were caught but boats would also fish for mackerel with drift nets off the south west coast of Ireland, while some boats fished with long lines for ray, conger and turbot, out as far as the coast of Brittany.
Forbes was inspired to paint out-doors and use ordinary people as models by the work of the French 'plein air' painter, Jules Bastien-Lepages [1848 - 1884]. Forbes wrote later about this method of working, "To paint the picture entirely and absolutely out of doors, braving all difficulties and relying in no way upon sketches or studies, with which later on the work could be comfortably finished within the walls of a studio…." Stanhope Forbes was born in Dublin, his father was a railway manager and his mother Juliette de Guise was French. His father's brother, James Staats Forbes was an art collector and a close friend of Joseph Israels, a well-known Dutch artist. It is generally assumed that Forbes developed a serious interest in art at an early age, through the influence of his uncle. When the family moved to London Forbes was educated at Dulwich College where he won a prize for drawing and met a fellow pupil who became a life long friend, the naturalist painter, Henry La Thangue. La Thangue's picture Goats at a Fountain is also exhibited here in Room 11.With the enthusiastic support of his family Forbes studied at the Lambeth School of Art [1874 – 1876]. After further study at the Royal Academy, Forbes left for Paris to study at the atelier of Leon Bonnat; by the summer of 1881 he was in Cancale, a small fishing village near St. Malo in Brittany, painting 'en plein air' with his friend Henry La Thangue.
After Forbes's picture A Street in Brittany, also exhibited here in Room 11 had been purchased by the Walker Art Gallery in 1881, he abandoned an earlier idea of making a living as a portrait painter; 'I must do 'plein air' or nothing. It's the only way to achieve success. Stick to one branch of painting and make it your own'. Despite his success with A Street in Brittany, Forbes found his Breton pictures difficult to sell. This was one reason why in 1884 he moved to Newlyn a small fishing village near Penzance in Cornwall. He was attracted by the mild climate; it was possible to paint out-doors throughout most of the year and there is also a special quality to the light at the extreme tip of the Cornish peninsula. The harbour was full of bright and shimmering reflections; there was an abundance of boats, ropes, sails, nets, and the quaysides were crowded with men and women wearing the traditional clothing of a fishing community. Such a location was a perfect inspiration for the bold brushwork and careful tonal painting which was the hallmark of Forbes's work. He wrote later, "every corner was a picture".There were several artists already established at Newlyn when Forbes arrived and no shortage of local people prepared to model for the painter. He had however the greatest difficulty persuading young women to pose for him in the street. There was another occasional obstacle. The people of Newlyn were Methodists and strict observers of the Sabbath. He once had stones thrown at him when he attempted to paint in the open air on a Sunday.
Off to the Fishing Grounds, was exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 1886, where it failed to sell. One writer criticised Forbes's linear and aerial perspective. Perhaps the critic was confused by the unusually bold, cropped, snap-shot composition of the painting that appeals so much to people today. The close-up view of the fishermen and the way in which most of the sail, mast and deck are cut from the composition has a familiar feel; it reminds us of a still from a film. Such cinematic images were not to be seen until ten years after this picture was painted. The picture was purchased by the Walker Art Gallery from the Liverpool Autumn Exhibition of 1886 for £350.00. This price was almost five times the amount paid four years previously for his, A Street in Brittany. The increase in the price of Forbes's pictures can be explained by the enthusiastic reception and public success of his painting, A Fish Sale on a Cornish Beach, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1885.Forbes soon became the leading figure in what was to be known as the Newlyn School of painters. He got on well with artists and fishermen alike. A fellow artist Norman Garstin wrote, "his nature is an unusual compound of enthusiasm and scepticism, of strong opinions and generous deference to the ideas of others, the whole blended and kept sane by an unfailing sense of humour"
In 1899 Forbes married the Canadian born painter Elizabeth Adela Armstrong who worked in St. Ives as well as Newlyn. Her painting, Blackberry Gathering is in the collection of the Walker but not on show at the moment. Together they opened a school of painting in Newlyn in 1899. The school was dedicated to 'plein air' principles and the necessity of working directly from the subject. Elizabeth Forbes died in 1912 and their only child Alec was killed in the First World War in 1916. Stanhope Forbes continued to paint out-doors up to the end of the 1930s. He lived on until 1947, dying a few months before his ninetieth birthday.

Man's Complaints of Abuse Were Ignored, Federal Agency Charges
DETROIT – Nationwide optician chain LensCrafters violated federal law by failing to address sexual harassment complaints from a male employee at its Saginaw store about a female co–worker and perpetuating a sexually hostile work environment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
The EEOC's suit charged that LensCrafters subjected a male lab technician, William Sheard, to a sexually hostile work environment Sheard was repeatedly subjected to unwelcome sexual advances, comments, and touching. The co-worker repeatedly touched him, including his private parts; would make lewd sexual comments; would frequently proposition him for sex; and make sexual displays toward him. Sheard complained about this abusive conduct, but his concerns were ignored.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In its suit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (Case No. 2:09CV12694), the EEOC seeks to recover monetary compensation in the form of back pay, compensatory damages and an injunction to enjoin LensCrafters from ignoring sexual harassment complaints from men and perpetuating a sexually hostile work environment in the future.
"The EEOC is committed to protecting all employees, including men, from being subjected to a sexually hostile work environment," explained EEOC attorney Nedra Campbell. "LensCrafters failed to take seriously the sexual harassment complaints of Mr. Sheard, apparently because he is a man. Federal law protects the civil rights of men as well as women."
LensCrafters is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mason, Ohio-based Luxottica U.S. Holdings and a part of Luxottica Group (NYSE: LUX), an international designer, manufacturer, and distributor of eyewear.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Blade length: 9.60 in.Total length: 14.50 in.Blade height (at heel): 2.20 in.Blade thickness (near bolster): 0.18 in.Item weight: 16.30 oz.Shipment weight: 21.68 oz.Blade: Stainless Damascus san mai blade with a VG10 stainless steel core (Hrc 60 - 61)Handle: Pakka Wood
Description: The gyuto deba or Western Deba is a heavy version of the traditional gyuto that is best suited for heavy duty tasks that would be likely to damage a thinner knife.
Construction of the blade begins with bundles of special alloy stainless steel wire which are repeatedly folded together and forge-welded by hand. This time consuming process creates a Jigane (the outside layers of the blade) with a beautiful Damascus pattern. The maker than begins preparation of the Hagane (the middle layer of the blade) by hand forging high carbon steel, alloyed with cobalt. The basic construction of the blade is competed by forge-welding the Hagane between two layers of Jigane. Following in the best tradition of knife making, a steel ferrule is forge-welded to the tang to ensure that food particles can not become lodged between the tang and the handle. The handle, made from multiple layers of wood impregnated with resin, is riveted to the full length tang and will last a lifetime. The blades are fully honed.

"The 39 Steps" is the kind of silly show that goes for a laugh by playing three chords lifted from a hokey melodrama — bah, buh, BAAAAHHHH — when the play's title is mentioned.
And then it goes there again and again. And again.
And again.
Luckily, the game actors land nearly every joke they can. And the visual comic treats of the Orlando Shakespeare Theater production, directed by Jim Helsinger, help make up for a script that too often relies on repeating the same sort of gag or hoping a mangled Scottish accent will sound funny.
The show, adapted for the stage by Patrick Barlow, is based on the Alfred Hitchcock thriller, which in turn was based on John Buchan's adventure novel of the same name. In the play, however, the preposterous plot is played for laughs.
Richard Hannay (Spencer Plachy) is a 1930s Brit, bored with life, when a mysterious woman swoops into his life and winds up murdered in his flat. He's suddenly a man on the run, trying to clear his name and prevent a "secret, top secret Air Ministry secret" from falling into enemy — read, German — hands.
Plachy has a plummy voice and a good air of comic surprise — and he does a swell version of a fall from a suspension bridge — but as the relative straight man among the mayhem he's overshadowed by his fellow actors. Deanna Gibson, in three female roles, brings a simple charm to downtrodden farmer's wife Margaret and icy outrage to the reluctant heroine, Pamela.
But it's Brad DePlanche and Brandon Roberts who have the showiest parts. With changes in hats, coats, accents and posture they shift character in the blink of an eye. And they deserve every bit of the cheers and applause they get.
In one span of about four minutes, DePlanche switches from a spy to a rambling cleaning woman to a perky railway traveler. (He also shines later on as a mumbling lecturer his baffled audience can't hear.)
And Roberts, who has plenty of physical- comedy experience with his PB&J Theatre Factory troupe, is in his element. His face flaps in the wind as he leans out a train's window as it chugs along a track. As the arch-villain, he wrings every ounce of comedic mileage out of a silly hat's tassel.
The best moments in the show are such visual treats: DePlanche and Roberts, as two loitering spies, running onto the stage with a giant lamppost to set the scene every time Plachy opens a window shade. Or the way Plachy's hand follows Gibson's seductively down her leg as she removes her stockings (they're handcuffed together.)
And perhaps the most fun gag: Cameos by Alfred Hitchcock, in silhouette of course, and a friend of the Loch Ness monster.
That's the best thing about this theatrical bit of fluff. As in life, when the script falls flat from time to time, the unexpected can have you laughing again.

Who doesn't love the idea of an eye-opening, life-changing cultural adventure? Visitors to a new destination know when they've had that kind of an experience, because it leaves them changed, inspired and uplifted. They can't wait to tell everyone back home about the great restaurant, B&B or local artist that they discovered. Unearthing those trip-making experiences isn't easy. Having the time, and knowing where to look, is a challenge that often yields unsatisfactory results. Tourists who travel with the aim of digging below the surface to really learn about the destination want to know their tourist dollar, euro, or pound is not only going to deliver an authentic, enriching experience for them, but that it's genuinely good for the person, or business, where they'll be spending. That's where Hidden Treasures&trade, a local tourism product initiative developed by the Tourism Enterprise Partnership (TEP), a small business development agency focused on small and medium tourism businesses in South Africa, offers something truly unique and authentic.
Spread across South Africa's 9 provinces, TEP's collection of Hidden Treasures features genuinely top-notch, cutting edge, and unmistakably South African experiences and products that cultural adventurers can mix and match to create their ultimate art, food, or heritage itinerary. The range and diversity of the products and experiences available means tour combinations are literally, endless. In Cape Town, for example, shop for investment ceramics, sit down to an authentic African, or Cape Malay lunch, and sleep in a rooftop caravan or avant-garde art hotel. In Mpumalanga, visit grass-roots performing arts projects, treat yourself to one-of-a-kind wire art, sample lowveld-style fine dining, and end your day in a fusion of African songs and instruments. Hidden Treasures offers visitors to South African encounters that are out of the ordinary. Key to the experiences are the people, the entrepreneurs, who have followed a dream, or pursued a talent often against incredible odds, to emerge as successful business owners with something unique and truly South African to share.
South Africa has a history of discovering some of the world's most amazing diamonds. Why not unearth a few Hidden Treasures of your own.

Brooklyn rapper Jay-Z has admitted that he learnt how to plan and spend his money from his days as a drug dealer.
The hip-hop star grew up in Brooklyn and has previously admitted he dealt crack cocaine by the time he was 13. He looked up to the men who were in gangs in his neighbourhood and has now spoken about how his early life impacted his multi-million dollar music business.
"I know about budgets. I was a drug dealer,' he told Vanity Fair magazine.
"To be in a drug deal, you need to know what you can spend, what you need to re-up."
Even while ensconced in the criminal world the now 43-year-old knew it wasn't what he wanted long term. He began to think about where life would take him, but didn't expect to make it so big in rap music.
"If you want to start some sort of barbershop or carwash – those were the businesses back then,' he explained to the publication's November issue. 'Things you can get in easily to get out of [that] life.
"You have to have an exit strategy, because your window [for dealing drugs] is very small. You're going to get locked up or you're going to die."
Looking back, the star can't believe he became caught up in the drugs world. He is upset to think he had a hand in peddling illicit substances and wishes he had spent more time considering his choices.
"Not until later, when I realised the effects on the community. I started looking at the community on the whole, but in the beginning, no," he admitted.
"I was thinking about surviving. I was thinking about improving my situation. I was thinking about buying clothes."
Jay Z also touched upon his future plans. He is married to pop star Beyoncé Knowles and they have 20-month-old daughter Blue Ivy and being a father has brought him a great deal of joy.
The rapper previously claimed he would quit music by the age of 30 and laughs when he remembers the comments now. He claims that he loves his job far too much to give it up and will continue laying down tracks for as long as possible.

- World Cup
Hodgson calls on Rooney to step up
Roy Hodgson wants Wayne Rooney to silence his critics by inspiring England to a win in their opening World Cup match against Italy.
Rooney has come under fire of late and there have been calls from some for him to be dropped by Hodgson.
Manager Hodgson, though, is hoping the Manchester United striker can prove his doubters wrong in the Group D clash on Saturday.
"That [match] will be [the time] for Wayne to show them," he told a news conference when asked about criticism of Rooney.
"The World Cup is a major event, the coverage is quite enormous - all the journalists who are out here, the TV stations, the radio stations, it's just par for the course that there are going to be lots of opinions.
"A lot of those opinions will be opinions that players may not want to hear. But the good thing is, Wayne Rooney has got a chance."
Hodgson has praised Rooney for saying he intends to "enjoy" the World Cup, but he does not want his player to be too laid back come Saturday night.
"I think [his comments] are a sign of maturity,'' Hodgson said. "The word 'enjoy' is a dangerous word to some extent, you only ever enjoy things that you do well, if things don't go well or you don't feel like you've realised your full potential as a player, enjoyment is hard to find."
Rooney ended a run of four matches without a goal by finding the net in England's 2-2 draw against Ecuador last week.
And the former Everton man is hopeful that he can build on that strike at the World Cup.
''I hope it can be the catalyst for me,'' Rooney said. ''I just want to try and do well. If the way previous years have gone, in terms of scoring bunches... if that happens, then great.
''There have been times where, unfairly, I have been pulled up on it, for not scoring for a few games. I remember somebody saying I hadn't scored for six games and I was literally playing in a deep-lying midfield role for those six games, which seemed a bit unfair. It is something that I have never really quite understood.
''I want to do well. I want to score goals and help England be successful. I know if I have a good tournament, if I play well, then the team will play well.''

A possible merger between American Airlines and U.S. Airways that would create the nation's largest carrier could be in the works and announced as soon as next week.
The two airlines have been discussing a potential deal for months and sources tell ABC News affiliate WFAA that the board of directors of AMR Corp., American's parent company, will meet on Monday to consider a possible merger.
Nothing has been decided and no actual deal is in place, a source told ABC News. That doesn't mean a deal can't be hammered out between the two airlines.
Both airlines have declined to comment on reports that a merger is imminent. If a deal is reached, the new airline would become the largest in the U.S.
AMR Corp. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2011 and has been grappling with the decision to either merge or climb out of bankruptcy, remaining an independent airline.
Thomas Horton, CEO of AMR Corp., would be given an honorary position on the board such as non-executive chairman and US Airways CEO Doug Parker will likely take over as CEO after the merger, a source told WFAA.
The newly formed airline will be based in Fort Worth, the current headquarters for AMR and United Airlines. The combined carrier is expected to retain the American Airlines name.
In the short-term, travelers will see virtually no changes from either airline if a merger is announced.
"This deal still has to go through significant regulatory scrutiny and it will take some time before anything of any note changes," Genevieve Shawn Brown, ABC News lifestyle and travel editor, said.
American Airlines and US Airways would likely merge frequent flier programs, Brown said.
Longer term, the merger could mean higher prices.
"In the last five years the U.S. has gone from six legacy carriers to four. If this merger goes through we will be down to three legacy carriers. Less competition generally means higher airfares," Brown said.

StrataGEN Receives Dairy Herd Management Top 10 Innovation Award
PLAIN CITY, Ohio, October 2, 2012 - The unique, sequential breeding system, StrataGEN™, has been recognized by Dairy Herd Management as one of the Top 10 innovative products of the year in an award ceremony at World Dairy Expo. An industry panel of dairy producers, agribusiness professionals and university experts narrowed the field of nearly 40 finalists to recognize the Top 10.
Introduced in April 2012, StrataGEN uses highly reliable genomic inbreeding data to differentiate bulls in the Select Sires lineup, both proven and genomic young sires, into one of five distinct genetic lines. These color-coded lines simplify the implementation of StrataGEN into any breeding program. After consulting with a Select Sires StrataGEN specialist, each herd's genetic base is identified, and a three- to five-line rotation is developed based on long-term herd goals and the current inbreeding level of the herd.
Inbreeding has only accelerated in recent years and has a huge impact on the profitability of dairy herds. Research has indicated1 that for each 1 percent inbreeding increase in a herd, performance is impacted by:
- -24 Lifetime Net Merit $ (NM$)
- +.36 days of age at first calving
- -13 days Productive Life (PL)
- -790 pounds lifetime milk production
- -25 pounds lifetime protein production
- +.26 month first calving interval
StrataGEN is the first program of its kind to combat inbreeding by combining technologies to be used in a straightforward way that allows each herd to develop their own protocol. By using StrataGEN for multiple generations dairy producers will minimize inbreeding and optimize their herds' genetic potential.
Based in Plain City, Ohio, Select Sires Inc. is North America's largest A.I. organization and is comprised of nine farmer-owned and -controlled cooperatives. As the industry leader, it provides highly fertile semen as well as excellence in service and programs to achieve its basic objective of supplying dairy and beef producers with North Americ''s best genetics at a reasonable price.1Cassell.

Walton County Commissioner Sara Comander hosted a "town hall" Q&A to take the pulse of the public Monday night at the Coastal Branch Library.
About a dozen people attended the meeting.
Topics ranged from the Restore Act, traffic congestion at the intersection of County Roads 395 and 30A, county right-of-ways, the county administrator position, the 30A bike path, solicitors, lights on the beach, preserving the uniqueness of 30A, and the need for public input on a strategic plan.
Comander said the visioning process for the county that was begun in 2008 is not where she would like it to be, adding she would like the process to go farther in getting public input on ways to achieve goals.
Comander had just returned from a week in Tallahassee, along with the other commissioners. While there, they met with the governor about the Restore Act, the money to come from the BP settlement, and how the money can be spent. She said so far, the county has not seen the money. But when the money does come in, guidelines are clear that it must be spent on infrastructure, the environment, job creation, and some tourism aspects.
Comander said she also favors putting some money aside for the future.
Another issue that was discussed was traffic congestion at the intersection of County Roads 30A and 395 during peak season.
Solutions to the problem that have been considered include a traffic light, installing a roundabout, and one group would like to see a traffic cop there during busy times. Results of such studies and considerations could take a year to materialize, said Comander.
However, one resident who lives near the intersection wants to speed things up.
Jane Soloman said she called the sheriff's office and was told there was no funding available for additional deputies to man the intersection. Soloman said since the situation is affecting her ability to get out of her driveway, she envisions holding a fundraiser to pay someone to direct traffic there over Memorial Day weekend.
She said her group of concerned citizens would stand at the intersection and collect money in much the same way other organizations do. While she has not cleared the plan with the Sheriff's Office yet, she sees no reason why it would not be OK.
"Backed up traffic here is a big issue and can result in a 35-minute wait to get through the intersection and for me to get out of my driveway," Soloman said.
The mass of cars trying to get through the intersection during peak season has been hampered recently by groups positioning themselves at the intersection trying to collect money for various organizations.
Soloman said the most recent "panhandlers" were a Destin soccer team that had come over from the next county.
Comander said there is a permit process that solicitors are supposed to go through prior to manning an intersection.
Her audience suggested that permit process be widened to include no solicitation during Spring Break weeks or major holidays, and none at congested intersections such as 30A and 395, and 30A and 393. The audience also expressed a desire that only Walton County clubs and organizations be permitted. Some would like to see solicitors only allowed during the off-season, and still others would like to see solicitation stopped all together.
The intersection of 30A and 395 is currently a three-way stop. A roundabout would keep the traffic moving and would have the least impact, said Comander. However, some in the audience voiced objection to a roundabout.
If a traffic light was put in and a turn lane was built, the county's right-of-way could be used, but that scenario could interfere with existing homes' parking spaces.
Before the meeting adjourned, Bob Hudson threw out another consideration: "As we look for ways to solve the traffic problems, we need to think about 'Will the solution ruin the uniqueness of 30A?"
He also expressed concern about the county's track record in hiring and keeping professionals to run the county's business.
"Our track record is not good," he said. "We need to hire qualified professionals and get out of their way. Our challenge is to entice someone to come here. Public Works is a revolving door. As is the TDC. I want a county commission that can address issues in a professional manner. We've got to make progress, carry the county forward and get stability. It's my sincere hope that we can grow up."
Hudson's speech won a round of applause from the audience.


text: U-17 Boys lose final European tour game March 29, 200812:00AM PDT Previous Next Vancouver Whitecaps U-17 Boys Prospects ended their spring break European tour with a 4-3 defeat to Alemannia Aachen U-17 side in Dusseldorf, Germany, on Saturday afternoon. Bart Choufour's side made the day trip into Germany from their base in Nijmegen, Netherlands, to take on Alemannia, whose first team play in Bundesliga Two. Despite a sunny spring day, the Whitecaps were unable to hold on to a somewhat comfortable lead against Aachen in less than ideal playing conditions in Dusseldorf. In fact, it was Alemannia that took the lead early in the match from a corner before the Whitecaps struck back on 25 minutes from a corner of their own, as Ashley Ankiewicz was at the far post to head home. Vancouver had more goalscoring opportunities after pulling level, but they had to wait until just before halftime for Ankiewicz to strike his second goal after he latched on to a pinpoint long pass from Kyle Knees for a 2-1 lead at the break. The Whitecaps picked were they left off to start the second half, with Sahil Sandhu further extending their lead 20 minutes after the restart. Brandon Ho slipped a ball in behind the Alemannia defence for Sandhu, who rounded the keeper and calmly scored for 3-1. Seemingly looking like they were on their way to an impressive win, Alemannia struck back when Ben Hemphill brought down an Aachen player in the Whitecaps box for a penalty. The German youngsters converted the spot kick to make it 3-2. Alemannia then equalized with a close-range volleyed strike that beat Whitecaps goalkeeper Justin Baarts following an excellent Aachen cross from the right. With the game poised at 3-3, the Whitecaps still had opportunities to regain the lead, but it was Alemannia that claimed the victory when an Aachen player – who seemed to be in a clear offside position – was allowed to continue his run at the Vancouver goal before striking home for the 4-3 result. The Whitecaps U-17 Boys Prospects are due to return back to Vancouver from the Netherlands on Sunday afternoon. Previous Next

French actor Gerard Depardieu is learning Russian after authorities granted him citizenship following his headline-grabbing tax dispute in his homeland.
The Green Card star became headline news in France last month when he moved across the border to the Belgian village of Nechin in an apparent attempt to avoid a steep tax hike aimed at the country's most wealthy residents.
On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin cleared the star for a Russian passport and Depardieu has now written an open letter to officials in the country to thank them for making him a citizen.
In the message, he writes, "I filed a passport application and I am pleased that it was accepted. I love your country, Russia – its people, its history, its writers. I love your culture, your intelligence…
"I told (French President Francois Hollande) that Russia was a great democracy and that it wasn't a country where a prime minister would call a citizen pathetic."
Depardieu was branded "pathetic" by France's Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault and the comment prompted the actor to announce plans to give up his French citizenship.
Under French law, residents are not allowed to give up their citizenship until they have been offered nationality by another country.
In the letter, which was read out on Russian TV, the actor also lavished praise on the country and revealed he is taking up language lessons.
He adds, "In Russia, there is the good life. I prefer the countryside, and I know some marvelous places in Russia… I feel good. And I'm learning Russian… Glory to Russia!"

Cleveland BioLabs' officials look for signs of a turnaround
Investor Jeff Chokel keeps looking for signs that Cleveland BioLabs is poised to turn its promise into profits.
And after owning the Buffalo life sciences company's stock for nearly seven years – adding to his holdings along the way – Chokel is growing frustrated over the company's stock price, now hovering just above its seven-year low, and the long delays Cleveland BioLabs has endured in gaining approval for the drugs it is developing.
"We have not heard a lot that has influenced the stock favorably in the past year," Chokel, an investor from suburban Cleveland, told company executives during Cleveland BioLabs' annual shareholder's meeting on Friday.
"I've added to my holdings and, obviously, it's been disappointing most recently," Chokel said. "I'm looking for something where I might say the stock will be above $1.60 at this time next year."
Yakov Kogan, Cleveland BioLabs' chief executive officer, said he thinks the company is making progress building its core of developmental drugs – spearheaded by its Entolimod anti-radiation sickness drug that officials believe could be stockpiled by governments worldwide to protect citizens and soldiers in the event of a nuclear accident or a terrorist attack.
The tests that the company has conducted so far have shown encouraging results that a single dose of Entolimod, administered 25 hours after exposure, can greatly increase survival rates following a potentially lethal exposure to radiation. But further studies must be done before Cleveland BioLabs can start selling the drug, and those additional tests will take a considerable amount of both time and money.
Kogan said the company also is accelerating its less-advanced efforts to develop Entolimod as a cancer treatment. Other drugs being developed by the company also have shown promise in treating certain types of cancer, but they require major clinical studies that will take years – and cost millions – to complete.
"We are advancing our pipelines," Kogan said. "Drug development is a relatively slow and expensive process."
The slow process, however, has weighed heavily on Cleveland BioLabs shares, which fell 3 cents on Friday to close at $1.58, slightly higher than its all-time low of $1.21 set in May 2012 and more than 80 percent less than its five-year high of $8.40, set in March 2011.
While Cleveland BioLabs executives had hoped to have won regulatory approval to start selling Entolimod as a radiation sickness treatment by now, the process has been delayed by funding shortfalls and uncertainty over the scope of the clinical trials the company has conducted on the drug.
The Buffalo drug development company is seeking around $50 million from federal agencies to fund the final stages of development for Entolimod as an anti-radiation sickness drug. Cleveland BioLabs in mid-October submitted a proposal for major clinical trial funding to the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, which has been a key source of funds in the past, but it is still waiting for a response. Kogan said Friday he does not know when BARDA will give its answer.
The company had hoped that response would come by the end of this month, but a key meeting with U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials over the design of the remaining clinical studies needed for the drug to be considered for approval now won't be held until mid-summer.
The FDA has said Cleveland BioLabs must do a pair of additional studies before Entolimod can be considered for approval, but company executives said they hope the upcoming meeting with the federal regulators could lead to a streamlining of those studies.
While Cleveland BioLabs executives are hopeful that BARDA ultimately will provide funding, they said the company has enough cash to fund its operations into the first quarter of next year – and even longer if spending is cut back and planned investments to develop its stable of cancer drugs are pushed back.
But if BARDA declines to provide funding, Cleveland BioLabs executives said they are considering other options, including selling all or part of its stake in some of the cancer drugs the company currently is developing. Those drugs, while they have shown promise in early-stage testing and trials, are still years away from being approved.

2015 Audi A3 and Audi Connect System: LA Auto Show
What Is It?
Inside the 2015 Audi A3 is a world first. Unveiled at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, the new Audi Connect system employs the 4G LTE cellular network for high-speed connections to the outside world and cyberspace. It's the first car to do so. Download speeds are claimed to be seven times faster than the current standard, and up to eight mobile devices can log on to the onboard Wi-Fi hot spot.
The theory is that services such as Google Earth and Google Street View will work faster and smoother. The system can read aloud Facebook and Twitter updates, and it can also bring more than 7,000 Internet radio stations into the cabin. And the kids in the back should enjoy a more seamless session of video gaming or streaming.
Take a look at your iPhone or Android screen and you'll probably see a 3G symbol somewhere. That means it's the third generation of cellular network standards. Naturally, 4G is the next generation, and LTE means long-term evolution. For this to be in a car is a big step but a logical one. It's worked out nicely that the 2015 Audi A3 debuts just as 4G LTE becomes available. Audi intends to include this new tech into more of its cars as they roll out.
How Much?
Subscription costs and even network providers are still to be announced. Audi envisions a shared data plan between a user's smartphone and the car -- like a family plan with several numbers on the same account. T-Mobile is handling Audi's 3G setup. The cost of the car itself starts at $30,795 (including $895 destination), and standard equipment includes Bluetooth connectivity.
When Can You Get It?
Spring 2014
Add It to Your Shopping List Because...
As well as being on the cutting edge of infotainment technology, this all-new generation of A3 blends premium appointments and classy design in a compact sedan.
Other Cars to Consider
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250-- Mercedes-Benz has its own mbrace2 infotainment/connectivity system, and it works well on 3G. Meanwhile, the car itself is already proving to be a hit.
2014 Acura ILX-- Compact and premium-ish. Earns lukewarm praise from the critics.
2014 Lexus CT200h-- Compact and premium-ish, with hatchback utility and hybrid economy. But it's not bristling with tech options like its German rivals.

Beginning with the 2013-2014 school year, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction – under the directive of the N.C. General Assembly – is providing school letter grades for each public school in North Carolina along with the NC School Report Cards. These letter grades replace the school designations that have been used in the past with the ABC accountability model. The School Performance Grades are calculated using the following numbers: 80% is based on proficiency on state tests (high school grades include a few other measures, such as graduation rates and ACT scores) and 20% is based on student growth.
This is a narrow view of our students and our schools, and we don't think that just a few measures completely reflect the quality of education our schools are providing. Please take a moment to read a letter from our principal regarding the new School Performance Grades, and to see what else is happening at Apple Valley beyond test scores.

Vote OKs razing of St. Patrick's
City Council's rezoning of old church site clears way for supermarket
WATERVLIET — The City Council voted 3-0 Tuesday night to rezone the 3.5-acre St. Patrick's Church site, clearing the way for the historic building to be knocked down and replaced with a grocery store.
Citizens for St. Patrick's vowed to continue its fight to rescue the historic church, an example of 19th-century Gothic Revival ecclesiastical architecture, from demolition.
The council's unanimous decision to rezone the site to business from residential was expected by supporters and opponents. The rezoning decision is expected to be challenged in court.
"It will be fought. This just the beginning. We're not quitters," said Christine Bulmer, a spokeswoman for the grassroots organization opposed to the church's demise.
Barring successful court action, Nigro Companies will be able to proceed with its plans to build a 39,570-square-foot Price Chopper supermarket and two smaller commercial buildings encompassing 5,700 square feet at the 515 19th St. location.
"We did a very thorough job of looking at the project," Mayor Michael Manning said.
Councilman Nick Foglia said, "It was not an easy decision."
The council opted for economic developing and seeing the Price Chopper project as a catalyst for boosting the 19th Street commercial corridor.
About 125 people attended the council's special meeting. Parishioners from Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish and Citizens for St. Patrick's supporters packed the senior citizen center. Parishioners applauded after the council finished voting.
"I'm pleased with it. There are some legal issues we're going to have to face yet," said the Rev. L. Edward Deimeke, pastor of Immaculate Heart of Mary.
John Nigro of Nigro Companies was pleased with the council's decision after eight months of public meetings and studies. He said his firm would deal with the legal challenges as they arose.
Nigro Companies' plans call for razing the church, rectory, school and six residences to clear the site for the supermarket and the two other buildings.
The former St. Patrick's Parish closed as part of the consolidation of six parishes in Watervliet and Green Island into the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish. This consolidation was a precursor of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany to merge more than 30 parishes due to declining attendance in urban communities.
Citizens for St. Patrick's members observed that Watervliet's St. Patrick's appears to be the only shuttered church to be torn down for commercial development.
The city's environmental assessment findings repeated the argument that the deteriorating condition of the historic church would lead to its collapse. It also stated that it would cost $4 million to stabilize the edifice.
And in the tightly packed city where a 3.5-acre parcel available for development is an unusual occurrence, the economic impact was stressed.
"The proposed project will create needed commercial/business growth in an area of the city identified for such use and needed by the city," according to findings in the state environmental assessment form completed for the City Council. "The project seeks to redevelop vacant and non-utilized deteriorating structures in a mixed-use area that is targeted by the comprehensive plan as a commercial overlay district, as well as a possible Central Business District," the findings continue.
The rezoning resolution approved by the council addressed what is considered to be a major legal matter for fighting the rezoning in court. The resolution specifically noted that "the proposed action is not spot zoning," which occurs when a property is rezoned to the benefit of its owner but at the expense of neighbors.
Albany County Planning Board members raised this as a possible issue in their June discussions of the project. Rosemary Nichols, an attorney, former city deputy general manager and advisor to the citizens group, said at the time this would be a legal matter for a future lawsuit.

I want to be an author
I want to live alone
I want a music room in my house
I want a Pembroke Welsh Corgi
I want to get better at playing guitar and learn how to play drums, violin, and bass
I want to have enough money to devote the remainder of my life to studying philosophy and music
In more immediate terms, I'd love to finish the board game I'm designing, hire someone to do the art, and get it published sometime next year. I have a shoestring budget right now, but I at least have a publisher lined up for when it's ready for print. If I can get this game company off the ground, then the next goal is to travel again; I haven't been able to afford to do that in years. First it'd just be for conventions, then to the places I've always wanted to visit or see again.
As far as a general dream/life goal, I want to leave the world at least a little bit better off than it was when I entered it. That particular goal has no particular scope or specific criteria to be filled, other than what's stated. Define it as you like.
Well tbh im not even sure what dreams i have, but there is things i'd like to do such as travel the world, have kids etc. but dreams?
If anything i would prolly have to say be able to fly
fish go m00
My dreams :
-Get a job that suits me
-Be reunited with my friends in Norway
-Get a nice boyfriend who I can honestly fall in love with
-Visit Japan to study abroad for a year
-Continue to be a kid at heart
-Have a stable income
-Limit on daily stress
Living in Tokyo and can 10/10 confirm this is anime af
Ok some of these are cheesy but still oh well
- vist Japan, england, France, Germany, Norway, china, Australia, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Switzerland, south Korea, thailand, and Canada
- get a job where I get to create beauty
- find a good lover
- hook up wi a sugar daddy for like half a year
- go to a fashion show during fashion week
- become fluent in another language and NOT forget the language again ..... ( I know sad)
I guess it would be my dream to say I want to be an animator.
But I don't word it like that. I usually say, "I'm going to be an animator". I figured if I make sound more definite and solid, it's much easier to grasp and stay focused. Cause that's really all I am going to be.
And if I could own a house so I could foster care animals, I guess that would be more of my overall life dream, would be nice.
Like it says in my profile:
"I aim to become a manga/comic author and artist, a video game:concept artist, and script writer,.My goal is that I want my work to express the way I feel about this world."
Alright. Heeere we go.
-I want to graduate school
-Go to uni, and do well
-Preferably be an art teacher
-I want pretty hair and to buy nice things and make nice things. Yeeeah, don't mind me, just gonna sneak this in here. Shh.
-live in my dream house (isn't a mansion, just a little house with only a few rooms with blank white walls so I can do whatever the hell I want with it and stuff like that)
-Have a cute cat living with me named "Bro" so I'm not lonely (wow, okay I sound like a crazy cat lady)
-Kinda want a kid, but I want to be a single mother so maybe a sperm bank will come in handy, can't deal with relationships, I seem to always end up hating the guy. Well, that's if I can get pregnant. I'm not too far from infertile.
-chill a bit
Yup. Don't really have too many aspirations. Nothing to bring a tear to your eye. Just dumb junk.
The ultimate dream for me would be the first American to play for FC Real Madrid or Barcelona. Not to kill my pride but i dont have the skills to play professional soccer in Spain
For now I have a short list:
Go back to college and start the Computer Engineering school;
Learn English properly;
Figure out why I bought an electric guitar if I play drums;
When I was a kid I remember I wanted to either become
1 - Professional Wrestler
2 - Musician
3 - Astrophysicist
But now I still want to be able to do something music, and also want to be able to be involved in children's services to work on becoming a teacher.
Feel free to add me as a buddy, or have a chat. I don't bite.
Go to Akihabara possibly live there
Work for a Major big buck gaming blog
http://youtu.be/txINV-l0qlI GOD FUCKING SPEED
Well my dream is kind of vauge so I won't go into it but I will say this.
Dreams are forged through failure, and the big ones usually require a fu*k-ton of failure.
By this logic my dreams are well on their way to becoming high-quallity steel.
The hammer of reality is painful TT_TT
you say you are the least creative person you know, but you want to change that. Here is a way to get the juices flowing.
day 1: tell someone you know that you are an artist, if they say "what kind?" you say "guess". Whatever they say start imagining yourself as that, like if they say "musician", picture yourself on stage playing the instrument of your choice or being a DJ.
day 2: research cool artists of that variety via the web, magazines, TV or other media, keep picturing yourself being the "musician"
day 3: go out into the city/town and see that type of artist live. If it's a manga creator instead of musician they replied, find a live web cast or visit the art schools and watch. Don't forget to visualize yourself doing it!
day 4: eat a cupcake, visualize being a musician eating a cupcake
day 5: get supplies to do "music". Now don't go rushing off spending a lot, you can just get a harmonica for 1$, or a piano app.

Let's start with the good.
Last Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Auto Club Speedway was by far the best of this young season, and quite frankly, in recent memory.
Of the five events thus far, the new Gen-6 car finally delivered in southern California, enhancing the on-track competition at what was previously a ho-hum venue before producing a wild finish few will soon forget.
Ironically, the weekend sweep by Kyle Busch, who also won Saturday's Nationwide race, Dale Earnhardt Jr. taking over the points lead and even Danica Patrick's 26th-place finish were all overshadowed by Sunday's post-race commotion. Not that there's been much to say about Danica since Daytona, but you get the point.
Instead, the fallout from Fontana surrounded Joey Logano, who has quickly emerged as NASCAR's man of the moment.
Tabbed with the nickname 'Sliced Bread' — as in the greatest thing since — Logano had become an afterthought in recent years, with his boyish looks and lackluster results gaining him little credibility since assuming a full-time ride in 2009.
Over the last two weeks, that all changed.
Beginning at Bristol, the 22-year-old has been front and center, garnering attention for his ongoing feud with former teammate Denny Hamlin and now, his confrontation with three-time series champion Tony Stewart.
Let's continue with the misconstrued.
After Logano called out Hamlin for an incident at Bristol seven days prior, the two found themselves door-to-door racing for the win on the final lap Sunday, with both ultimately wrecking at the exit of Turn 4, allowing Busch to sail by for the victory.
The contact sent Hamlin into the inside retaining wall head-on, where no SAFER barrier designed to reduce impact had been installed, resulting in him being airlifted to a nearby hospital where it has since been revealed he suffered a compression fracture in his lower back. The injury is expected to take six weeks to heal, meaning Hamlin will miss at least five races, with the series being off this weekend for Easter.
Logano, who salvaged a third-place finish after bouncing off the outside wall, regrettably commented about the incident immediately after the race, saying; "He probably shouldn't have done what he did last week (referring to the incident at Bristol), so that's what he gets."
At the time, Logano was unaware Hamlin had been injured and has since said; "You don't ever want anyone to get hurt; you don't ever want anything to happen, especially to Denny. We were racing really hard there at the end of the race."
While the initial comment was undeniably brash, Logano's statement to the USA Today on Monday was equally accurate; he and Hamlin were both racing hard for the win, plain and simple.
Unfortunately, due to Hamlin's injury and the carryover from Bristol, more is being made of the situation than what actually happened, none of which was a direct intention of Logano.
With the saga between the former Joe Gibbs Racing teammates temporarily being put on hold while Hamlin recovers, all eyes will turn to 'Smoke' vs. 'Sliced Bread', presumably beginning in two weeks at Martinsville.
Now for the bad.
Unlike the incident on the final lap, what unfolded at the conclusion of Sunday's race and the lack of consequences thereafter is where things get questionable.
After being blocked by Logano on the restart with 11 laps to go, Stewart proceeded to instigate a shoving match with Logano on pit road after the race had ended, followed by a profanity-laced tirade toward his fellow competitor during a nationally televised interview moments later.
Fortunately, crew members broke up the skirmish before the two went to blows and FOX had the ability to censor Stewart's comments, bleeping out basically every other word.
On Tuesday, NASCAR announced that there would be no disciplinary action taken against Stewart, with John Darby, Sprint Cup Series director, stating the following: "A few years ago, we backed away from micromanaging driver's emotions. You would hope in today's world that if somebody didn't win a race, they would be upset about it."
Wait, what?
This is coming from the same governing body of NASCAR that fined Hamlin $25,000 earlier this season for expressing criticism about the new Gen-6 car, claiming that it was difficult to pass and there was too much single-file racing following the first two weeks of the schedule.
For anyone that watched the ride-around affairs at Daytona and Phoenix, Hamlin's comments were spot on.
Last season, NASCAR also fined Clint Bowyer's crew chief Brian Pattie $25,000 for his team's involvement in a post-race melee with Jeff Gordon's team, after Gordon intentionally wrecked Bowyer in the closing stages of the November Phoenix race.
To top it off, NASCAR hit eventual series champion Brad Keselowski $25,000 for simply having a cell phone in his car, which he used to harmlessly interact with fans via Twitter during red flags.
Yet, Stewart can blatantly attack Logano both physically and verbally and walk away scot-free?
Seems like there's quite a double-standard taking place here, dependent on what NASCAR deems as 'detrimental' to the sport. Besides, allowing Smoke to blow off and take on the role of a recognizable tough guy certainly isn't 'detrimental' to ratings, which is somehow more important than credibility.
Speaking of which, I guess Stewart forgot about the block he threw at Talladega last October in an attempt to protect the lead which triggered a 25-car pileup on the final lap.
Logano's move to protect his position on Sunday was no different, except it didn't take out 24 other competitors or result in Dale Jr. missing the next two races with concussion symptoms which reoccurred during the Stewart-caused mess at 'Dega.
Both were doing what they've been bred to do — whatever it takes to win.
Turns out, Smoke just can't seem to handle being on the opposite end of the deal. Which is apparently A-OK by NASCAR.

|15 1080p Projectors for Your Home Theater
|Friday, 17 September 2010
Page 1 of 3
Selecting a new projector can get confusing fast. There's so much to think about – your room size, screen size, amount of ambient light and your budget – that buying new gear can stop being fun and start being a chore. To help you out, we've compiled a list of some of the best projectors around at a variety of price ranges. We've listed the manufacturer's price for all the projectors in the list, since the street prices can change pretty dramatically depending on the dealer or store.
An added bonus of the Lumis 3D is that due to the choice of Infinitec 3D technology there's no need for active shutter glasses like you'll find packaged with 3D TVs and no need for expensive silver screens – you can use your existing screen with the CX3 Lumis 3D with no issues.
Sadly, you won't have the option of using the same glasses you wore when you saw 'Avatar.' Digital Projection says that they went with active 3D technology on their Titan projectors to ensure the highest possible quality picture.

Paper lantern starts fire at UK recycling plant
July 1, 2013
LONDON (AP) — A very large fire started by a paper lantern has consumed more than 100,000 tons of plastic materials at a recycling facility in central England.
Fire services said Monday more than 200 firefighters fought the blaze near the city of Birmingham.
Officials said in a statement that a paper lantern was spotted on CCTV floating into the site before starting a fire among plastic bales.
Fire services said the smoke plume made by the fire was rising up to 6,000 feet (1,800 meters) and may affect air travel. Birmingham International Airport spokesman David Lavender said officials did not anticipate any disruption to flights.
Officials said 11 firefighters were treated for various injuries. There were no reported injuries to the public.

|OpenBSD General Other questions regarding OpenBSD which do not fit in any of the categories below.
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
Useful docs
BSD manpages are in my opinion without peer - they are the (almost) primary reason i prefer bsd's over linux (standardisation and code clarity being the other).
The BSD faq is an amazing piece of documentation, second only to the freebsd handbook (again in my opinion).
However the overwhelming number of linux users over bsd desktop users precipitates an abundance of documentation. Not that openbsd is lacking, just that you can trip over linux docs in any given google search, while iv found myself having to look a little closer to get usable supplementary information that is openbsd specific, although i understand the rationale that everything you really need is in the man pages and faq.
Still i thought it would be fun excerise to try and collate useful sources of documentation, so newb's like myself can find things a little easier. Id like to hear of any documentation that has proved useful to the more experienced users out there.
In a way this is more of a way for to keep track of useful links i come across, but in the spirit of freedom i thought why not put it into the public domain.
As way of a start, here's somethings that iv found invaluable -
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/Redbooks...l?OpenDocument BIG but worthwhile, still not even into the core of it myself, but as a support to the "understanding ip addressing" document mentioned in the faq its incredibly extensive.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/design-44bsd/ just one of the many docs you can pick up on the freebsd website so probably well known by everyone on this forum, but i singled it out as its a great way of abstracting every bsd variants inner workings.
http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~mdw/cou...douts/cvs.html nothing useful to the more experienced openbsd admin but for a lone desktop user like myself is a great way to (gently) begin understanding the potential of the CMS model used in openbsd developement.
http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1122109.htm a very simple abstraction on firewall rule methodolgy, there is probably more throurough/correct docs out there, anyone know of any?
Also the pf links carpetsmoker lists here are well worth a look
Edited 13:22 OCT 2009 to include already listed resources availbe in the forum
Last edited by lionsong; 22nd October 2009 at 12:23 PM.
some fruits of my recent googling -
http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/ - a free handbook on cryptography, seems to be very thorough and working from the ground up
http://www.ciphersbyritter.com/LEARNING.HTM - a nice overview of general cryptographic concepts
http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/...%2B_Essentials - another generalised account of IT security concepts
a whole slew of cryptography notes, very interesting!
http://mathforum.org/library/topics/cryptography/ - DEEP
some nice bits on socket and pcap programming
http://machacking.net/kb/files/wp-over-pentest.pdf - a nice laymens treatment of pen-testing methods
this guy is such a G, check everything he writes but in the spirit of this post these two are gold
everyone loves cheatsheets, and gdb is a profoundly powerful tool
some great code auditing guides
and lastly this list seems mostly linux based but there are some promising looking links none the less
With due respect to the Linux community, they do not promote good hygiene by publishing less than comprehensible manpages (possibly an unintended consequence of Linux itself being a kernel only...). This is why the culture lives & breathes on third-party howto documents. This is further complicated by the fact there is no community body which oversees the completeness nor quality of such documents, nor can there be. So buyer, beware. Maybe the documentation which is dredged up is correct; maybe it isn't.
The BSD community (ie. project developers...) puts great effort into ensuring that the manpages are up-to-date, correct, &readable. They should be the first place users search, & users unfamiliar with the subjectt matter should still compare any outside documentation to this gold standard.
The second source of truth users should consider is the FAQ's published by each of the projects.
Unfortunately, those of us who answer questions here regularly deal with issues where the research done is either non-existent, incomplete, or based on how-to documents found in the wild which have not been vetted by anyone other than the original author. We end up mopping up the mess afterwards for those who stopped at these documents thinking they found a shortcut. They didn't.
Unix is a powerful & flexible environment which in its transparency provides lots of knobs for tuning, but knowing how to tune takes knowledge, experience, tenacity, & the willingness to research. Howto documents can be used as preliminary information, but manpages speak the truth. Become a responsible administrator to your own systems by integrating their use throughout the research process & daily usage.
i think you misinterpret the intention of my OP.
To clarify
In fact my original aim was for documents supportive to unix in general, that also ran parallel to openbsd-centric subjects such as networking and cryptography.
In fact, my steadfast opinion is that
Again im sorry i didnt take the time to make my OP more clear, ill bear this in mind when posting in future.

Michigan Almanac tracks numbers that define U-M
The Michigan Almanac, a systematic compilation of information about university operations, is being introduced as the "go-to" Web document for anyone interested in data about the university.
The new Web-based compilation introduced this week is a veritable gold mine of data about the Ann Arbor campus. There are charts, graphs and tables on topics as diverse as the composition of the campus community (almost 64,000 people), the grade-point averages of incoming freshmen (they're on the rise) and the undergraduate student-faculty ratio (16-1).
"The public is eager for information about important public institutions and we believe making this information readily available is the right approach," says Martha Pollack, vice provost for academic and budgetary affairs.
The Michigan Almanac consists of 12 chapters covering topics such as undergraduate admission and enrollment, diversity, research and technology transfer, budget development and academic rankings. The project is an undertaking of the Office of Budget and Planning, which reports to the Office of the Provost.
"We wanted to make this information available in ways that were more accessible than we have done in the past," says Glenna Schweitzer, associate vice provost and executive director of the Office of Budget and Planning. "Our general approach has been to present 10 years of data to show trends and, wherever possible, to compare ourselves to our peer institutions across the country."
The Michigan Almanac will provide ready access to data for many different audiences seeking information for a wide range of purposes.
"We hope that prospective students, legislators, faculty members, the media and alumni will all find this new resource useful," Schweitzer says.
Each chapter has an introduction that highlights goals and key points of interest for that particular topic. Most of the data is presented in graphic form, with written explanations that provide definitions of terms and important historical context where appropriate. The data will be refreshed through periodic updates.

Details of Brit Floyd and the Ticket Luck value
The Brit Floyd is a group of amazing performers who have made sure the legacy of the legendary band Pink Floyd doesn't get confined to history books. The Brit Floyd is a tribute to Pink Floyd, a tribute that not only gets the fans overcome with nostalgia but re-creates the magic of their inspiration like they well and truly deserve. It is as close to the recreation of Pink Floyd as it can possibly get. Fans have bought Brit Floyd tickets to pack arenas around the world and see this amazing set of performers live for a truly unbelievable experience.
Tribute groups and performers are becoming very popular these days as they should. They give us a real up close and personal experience with some of the most famous artists that have either retired or even more sadly passed away. These groups keep their inspiration's work alive by dusting off the history books and re-creating the magic of what made them famous in the first place. A tribute simply doesn't get any better than the Brit Floyd, period!
Brit Floyd was formed in 2010 and hail from the United Kingdom. It was created by Damian Darlington and Chas Cole as a tribute tour for Pink Floyd. Before 2010, Chas and his company CMP Entertainment used to manage The Australian Pink Floyd Show (TAPFS) but due to certain disputes they went their own ways in 2010. Damian went with Chas to form another band called The British Pink Floyd Show which was later trimmed to Brit Floyd only. Almost all members of the band have at one point or the other been a part of the TAPFS so it was a coming together of old faces to re-create Pink Floyd music like only they could.
The performances by the Brit Floyd are somewhat inspired by the last tour made by Pink Floyd in 1994 called The Division Bell Tour. That tour started in March and went all the way to October with the band playing to packed houses around the world for its fans to watch these rock icons live. It was the most successful tour ever by a rock band till that time. It had special effects, the likes of which were never seen before. The tour went to a staggering sixty eight cities worldwide to an audience of over five and a half million people. When it ended it was rated as the biggest ever tour at that time that made over two hundred and fifty million dollars. That epic tour ended on 29th October as the very last full live show by the Pink Floyd. They released a full album of that tour and called it Pulse.
Brit Floyd performed for the first time in the UK. The venue was the Echo Arena in Liverpool and the date was 22nd January, 2011. The entire performance was captured on DVD which was launched on their webpage. It was a ground-breaking performance that thrust the spotlight on this special group of performers. Over six thousand fans bought Brit Floyd tickets to go and watch their debut performance that day and none of them left disappointed. They followed that up with magnificent performances in other European countries and now they have made their way over to North America.
The Brit Floyd has received mass acclaim from fans and critics alike. They are looked upon as the second coming of Pink Floyd which is just about as big a tribute as they can get after all that is exactly what they want to be. After being a huge hit in Europe they are now coming to arenas near you to make sure you feel the power of their music and performances. It is a historic tour and Brit Floyd tickets are all that you need to see and feel the brilliance of this amazing tribute band.

Russia registers first polio death in a decade
Russia has confirmed its first death from polio in more than a decade, the country's top public health official said today, Interfax news agency reported.world Updated: Jun 13, 2010 17:58 IST
Russia has confirmed its first death from polio in more than a decade, the country's top public health official said on Sunday, Interfax news agency reported.
A citizen of the former-Soviet Central Asian country of Uzbekistan died of polio in the Urals Mountains city of Yekaterinburg in early June, Gennady Onishchenko was quoted as saying. "Tests have confirmed this," he said. Onishchenko's spokeswoman was unavailable to comment on the report on Sunday.
Polio was practically eradicated as a public health problem in industrialised countries in the 1960s, but remains endemic in seven countries, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Russia last month confirmed its first case in 13 years in an infant visiting from Tajikistan, where at least 12 people have died from a polio outbreak this year.
State news agency RIANovosti last week reported that an Uzbek man died of polio in Yekaterinburg on June 4, but Onishchenko's office refused to comment on that report until additional tests in Moscow confirmed the diagnosis.
Onishchenko said four cases of polio had been confirmed in citizens from Central Asia and two other possible cases were being investigated, Interfax reported.
Polio, which spreads in areas with poor sanitation, attacks the nervous system and can cause irreversible paralysis within hours of infection. Children under the age of three are most vulnerable.
