Wherever you are Friday night and Saturday afternoon and evening, look into the sky over central Pittsburgh and you'll be gazing at one of the largest canvasses any artist has ever had.
There, a skywriting outfit will replicate seemingly mundane but secretly poetic messages swiped from signs and billboards around Pittsburgh.
Imagine SPACE AVAILABLE in mile-high letters. (Space for what? Outer space?)
ALL SALES FINAL. (Will there ever be another?)
And the almost spiritual EVERYTHING MUST GO.
The perpetrator is Kim Beck, a nationally exhibited artist and associate professor at Carnegie Mellon's School of Art.
Most of Beck's work is, you know, normal art-sized, stuff on paper and canvas. A while ago, she went bigger with the blank replica billboard that sits atop the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts (even if many passersby have never noticed this work perched on the Shadyside landmark).
Beck wanted to go bigger still. She was inspired by those ubiquitous signs announcing both business closures and big sales -- and, it must be said, by the "Surrender Dorothy" message the Wicked Witch smokes out in The Wizard of Oz.
With help from The Andy Warhol Museum, The Pittsburgh Foundation, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and the Sprout Fund, Beck assembled a budget of about $10,000 to design the project and hire a skywriter.
There aren't many skywriters left; Beck's pilot flew in from Colorado, she says.
Beck even purchased ad space in some rag called City Paper, featuring the same messages.(See page 10, for instance, of this week's issue.) These ads, Beck notes in a press release, "will perplex readers, while also pointing to the changing nature of the newspaper industry." (Editor's note: We have no idea what she's talking about. We're doing fine here, just fine.)
The skywriting itself will be documented photographically, and prints will end up in area storefront windows, bringing things full circle.
Look for the messages starting at 5:30 p.m. Fri., Oct. 1. Another round follows at 3 p.m. Sat., Oct. 2, and then at 5:30 p.m. that day. Flights will last from 30 to 60 minutes.
Then the letters, like sheets of newspaper on the sidewalk, will blow away fast, so look sharp.

You have through Thursday to help save the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.
That's a slight exaggeration, of course: Preserving this embattled but invaluable asset will be a long process, and there'll be plenty of opportunities to donate and volunteer, and to advocate for more funding.
But Thursday is your last chance to help shape the library's future as part of the Carnegie Library's months-long Community Conversation process.
The most recent Community Conversation meetings held in libraries themselves were held Sept. 18-20, with some 250 people attending.
Attendees told what they value about the library, said what they'd change, and offered ideas about helping with the system's funding crisis.
An outline of the problems the library faces follows. But if you want to cut to the chase, a series of very short questionnaires and surveys (that shouldn't take more than a few minutes to complete) is online at http://www.carnegielibrary.org/future/.
The Carnegie Library has faced funding shortfalls for years, with hours and services reduced and branch closings threatened. Last year, the worst cutbacks were avoided thanks to a big one-time cash infusion from the City of Pittsburgh.
By national standards, the Carnegie remains underfunded by city government. But given municipal government's own problems, that's not likely to change. State funding, while strong, is dropping. And money from the Carnegie's single biggest source of funds -- the county's Regional Asset District -- has flatlined. (RAD's revenues come from a sales tax.)
In short, the library faces a predicted $1.7 million shortfall next year, rising to $4.4 million by 2014.
If more funding is not available, how should the library proceed?
Currently, no branch closings are being considered. But while operating hours have already been cut, one option is to cut them some more.
For instance, in 2002, the Oakland main branch was open 69 hours a week. Now it's open 60 hours a week. A necessary cutback might whack that down to 50 hours. Other branches (whose hours are shorter to begin with) face similar cuts.
Should the libraries instead (or additionally) reduce programming, like special events and enrichment for adults, or kids? Off-site outreach programs?
Or maybe it should buy fewer books and DVDs, or reduce the number of public computers.
Aside from filling out the surveys, what can you do to help?
According to the library's website, the most important thing is to advocate for the library, pressing state and local officials to keep or increase funding, and recruiting friends to do the same.
One way to do this is to join a "Friends" group, such as most Carnegie branches have.
You can also volunteer at the library, to help staff do more with less.
You can even just donate cash. If just 5 percent of the system's 125,000 adult cardholders chipped in $25 each, the library says, it would raise $156,000.
That's less than 10 percent of what's needed to stanch the shortfall next year alone. But it'd be a start.
"Only superheroes can afford to dream in color," said a young Alan Moore.
It's hard to imagine a time when Moore, a comics superstar, had the heart of an independent artist longing for validation. But the late '80s was that time, and In Pictopia was the comic.
These days, Moore's work is familiar from big-screen interpretations of comics like The League of Extraordinary Gentleman, V for Vendetta and Watchmen.
In 1987, however -- the same year the Watchmen series was published as a paperback -- he self-published In Pictopia, whose 13 pages go on display at Pittsburgh's comic-art museum, the ToonSeum, for five weeks starting Sat., Sept. 25.
It is a work of meta-text where strange animal creatures who don't fit the continuity of the comic-book world are "slated for demolition," bulldozed in favor of Technicolor superhero types.
Illustrated by Pittsburgh-based artist Don Simpson, In Pictopia enjoyed only two original printings, once in the benefit comic Anything Goes II and a second time in the anthology, The Extraordinary Works of Alan Moore. Anticipating a smaller audience, Moore took a risk, resulting in a scathing satire that represented the reality of artistic merit cast aside for the sake of corporate interests.
Some comics historians place Pictopia among Moore's most brilliant works. After 24 years of cult status, Toonseum direct Joe Wos decided it was high time to unearth the comic from the archives.
"It's literally a statement about the comics selling out and ... cheapening themselves," Wos says.
Today, with the famous San Diego comicon ruled by movie execs, and works like Moore's being turned into Hollywood blockbusters, independent comic artists interested in preserving the heart of the art form are resurfacing, says Wos.
"[In Pictopia] is in that spirit," says Wos. "This is a comic about stepping back and saying, 'Wait a minute where are we headed? Is there anything we can do to stop this and preserve our legacy to preserve the voice of the independent comic creator?'"
A special limited reprint of In Pictopia is slated for mid-October.
Simpson, the illustrator, was one such independent creator. Described by Wos as an "outsider," Simpson dropped out of the comics scene years ago, after creating "Megaton Man," his most well known series.
Simpson remembers distinctly when he first met Moore, at a DC Comics banquet in 1985. "'By the way," Moore said, 'I'm ripping off Megaton man.,'" Simpson recalls.
When Simpson asked what he meant, Moore told him he was writing the script for a new comic (the one that became Watchmen) and that one of its principal characters (Dr. Manhattan) was a reincarnation of Megaton Man.
"That was his humor," says Simpson, but with none of the outrage one would expect.
In Pictopia, after all, was not Hollywood. It was not dreamt in color. It was precisely this: one independent artist who had something to say and another one who helped him say it.
In Pictopia exhibit opening reception 7 p.m. Sat., Sept. 25. Exhibit continues through Oct. 31. Toonseum, 945 Liberty Ave., Downtown. Free. 412-232-0199 or www.toonseum.org.
If you can get yourself Downtown on Thu., Sept. 23, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., look for the US Steel Tower. (It's not hard -- you can see the damn thing from like I-79 South, in Washington County.)
Then look up ... and if you get the timing right, you should eventually find yourself in Carngegie Mellon University's Public Gigapanorama.
According to CMU spokesman Eric Sloss, it's the first-ever attempt by the folks at CMU's Studio for Creative Inquiry to take an "ultra high resolution" 360-degree image of the city.
The digital cameras Gigapan cameras, developed by CMU's Create Lab, have previously been used to photograph things like neighborhood street scenes and big open landscapes. Formatted for computer screens or other slick monitors, they have "searchable" imagery with a seemingly infinite zoom capacity.
Last year, the SCI crew did a 30-gigapixel Gigapanorama from the Steel Building. But this one's for all you lens lice: SCI is encouraging people who want in to wear a costume, carry a sign or strike a pose. The shoot itself will last two hours. SCI will post updates on Twitter every five minutes starting at 11 a.m. to announce which direction the camera will be pointing at what time. (It will move through its circuit in 10-degree increments.)
The photo will be posted online by the end of October.
CP staff would go, but we have our modeling careers to think of.

There can't be too many student comedy troupes with as distinguished a set of alumni as this lot from Cambridge University.
Just since 1950, the 127-year-old company has been an early home to such stage, film and TV luminaries as Jonathan Miller, Peter Cook, Sasha Baron Cohen, Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry, David Frost, at least three future members of Monty Python's Flying Circus and at least one future member of Parliament.
Absolutely none of those people will be at CMU on Sat., Sept. 18, when CMU's own Scotch 'n' Soda Theatre hosts this year's model.
But various incarnations of Footlights continue to tour internationally -- they're regulars at Scotland's renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival -- and with a pedigree like that, there's little reason to believe the troupe's first-ever show in Pittsburgh won't provide plenty of laughs for your very affordable ticket.
The Cambridge Footlights perform their show Good For You at 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Sat., Sept. 18
Tickets are $10 ($5 for local college students). www.snstheatre.org
It's no surprise that fledgling Microscopic Opera's second production featured engaging music and fine singing. What was unexpected was the thematic intrigue of the show's narratives -- something opera doesn't always provide.
The contemporary chamber operas the troupe specializes in might be an expection to that rule. (Hard for me to say, because we hadn't seen many around here till now.) After all, Microscopic's premiere, this past spring, did feature the emotional gut-punch of Jake Hegge's "To Hell and Back."
But this show's intrigue was of a different species.
"Monkey's Paw" might seem an unlikely wellspring of such interest: Its source material was W.W. Jacobs' familiar story about an elderly couple making an ill-fated wish on the titular enchanted appendage.
But, for starters, Jonathan Kupper's musically lush new adaptation of the Victorian horror classic is suffused with a kind of religious fatalism that's rare in contemporary work.
For instance, a song sung by the couple's son, Herbert (Daniel Teadt), is one of consigning his fate to God yet acknowledging he mightn't live out the day. (He doesn't.) And the crepuscular one-act ends with the cast of four (including Raymond Blackwell, William Andrews and Carissa Kett) singing, "We are the monsters. We are the ghosts. We only haunt ourselves."
"Happy Garden" is significantly more contemporary, if no less fatalistic. It's based on a 1962 Kurt Vonnegut story about a future society where old age, disease and even death have been overcome -- but population is kept constant by requiring each birth to be balanced by a volunteer's assisted suicide.
Director Lisa Ann Goldsmith (who also directed "Monkey's") stages the new one-act in a wry, manic style that works for both Vonnegut and composer Katarzyna Brochocka's playfully atonal score. Key roles include the narrator, played by Mary Beth Sederberg with delightful weirdness and crazy hair, and a man in a maternity ward (Jeffrey Gross) who learns that his wife has just given birth to triplets. That means he must find not one volunteer suicide, but three.
As she sings the opening passage, Sederberg's wild eyes make it clear that this society's inhabitants have cracked under the strain of utopian perfection. But what's the alternative? As the character Dr. Hitz points out, before population was checked by his regime of control, "There wasn't even enough drinking water. And nothing to eat except seaweed."
Goldsmith and the cast (especially Gross and Erica Olden, as a perky gas-chamber attendant) milk every ounce of comedy from the script and then some. But, like good satire should, none of it goes down easily: Overpopulation and water shortages are bigger problems than ever. And Vonnegut's solutionless formula -- that the only planet we could survive on is one we'd never wish to inhabit -- offers nothing like comfort.
Likewise flying in the face of our society's general belief in progress, "Monkey's Paw" for its part suggests that getting what you want is worse than wanting what you haven't got.
The thematic unity of these two thoughtful works is reinforced by the show's enhanced production values. Since its first show, Microscopic has added a raised stage, and instead of a lone pianist, musical director Andres Cladera conducts a small orchestra. Underneath a borrowed professional lighting grid, it all sounded great in the donated empty retail space (located between the Borders and the state store on Baum Boulevard, in East Liberty).
"Monkey's Paw" & "Happy Garden of Life" continue with performances at 8 p.m. nightly tonight, Sun., Sept. 12, and Sept. 17-19. www.microscopicopera.com

Perez Hilton wrapped up his "Hunger Games" coverage this morning by shedding light on the Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth engagement gossip.
Perez reported to B96/Chicago, "Miley Cyrus' boyfriend Liam Hemsworth is in "The Hunger Games," and there is some speculation that the two of them, Miley and her boyfriend, might be engaged."
Last Thursday afternoon, right before "The Hunger Games" premiered in theaters nationwide, Miley Cyrus tweeted a photo of her left hand, which had a big rock on her ring finger.
This suggestive tweet fueled rumors all weekend long about her possible engagement to "Hunger Games" star Liam Hemsworth.
[photogallerylink id=76270]
Liam accompanied Miley to Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night XIII in Phoenix on Saturday night, and all of the photos show Miley sporting the same ring.
After multiple days of media attention, Miley personally denied the rumors of her engagement via Twitter today.
Us Weekly also reports that someone close to Miley confirmed that the rock is not an engagement ring.
Miley and Liam have been dating on and off since 2009 when they met during the filming of "The Last Song."

A Makarov is pretty heavy for pocket carry. It's intent was to be holstered. The smaller the better, so of those three the .380 is the most appropriate for your use, IMO.

So, I am in the market for a carry piece for summer and throw in your pocket and go. I don't want to spend a fortune, but want a reliable piece. I have done my research and have narrowed it down to two guns on opposite sides of the spectrum. First would be a Bulgarian Makarov and the second, a Keltec PF9 or p3at. Obviously, the Keltec with its light weight and slim lines would be easier to pocket carry, but that is not my biggest need. In a self defense situation considering caliber, reliability, etc. which one would you pick up first and why?
A Makarov is pretty heavy for pocket carry. It's intent was to be holstered. The smaller the better, so of those three the .380 is the most appropriate for your use, IMO.
The PF9 is in my pocket right now. I trust my life and my familes in it firing everytime I pull the trigger. 9mm is the lowest caliber I would go. It's also one of the cheapest (when you can find it).
I dream of a day when my children will live in a world without the shackles of cause and effect. - S. Colbert
I prefer plastic to pot metal. I've tried the PF9 at the local gun shop...never shot it. Out of the three you listed, I'd go with it if I had to.
I agree with Ram Rod. I have handled both the Kel-Tec's, but have only shot a p3at. If I had to chose I'd pick the pf9.

I bought a PF9 a few weeks ago and love it. Get a good holster and you won't even know you're carrying it. Recoil's a little sharp but you'll get used to it.
"Kimbers are the guns you show your friends, Glocks are the guns you show your enemies."
"the wounds of honor, are self inflicted."
I've had the P3AT for over a year. It's in my pocket nearly every day. Have fired over 100 rounds with no problems other than it's not a very comfortable range shooter, but that's not why I carry it.
To my knowledge no Makarov uses "Pot Metal". So its really Metal versus plastic. I like metal, so I vote Makarov. Still if weight is an issue then Keltec is fine.
I know not what this "overkill" means.
Honing the knives, Cleaning the longguns, Stocking up ammo.
You need to do some more research. Bulgarian Makarov's, or Russian or East German for that matter are certainly not made with Pot Metal. Thet are very well made all quality steel handguns. Simple (only 27 part), extremely reliable and tough. Maybe you were thinking of Hi Point handguns, now thats pot metal (zinc alloy). You should also consider the CZ82. They are possibly the best value going today in a modern 12 round capacity handgun witha polygonal rifled barrel. Very well made all steel gun and its a CZ! You can get they for around $250 retail, as low as $199 if you have a C&R FFL. makarov 9X18 ammo is relatively cheap and avalible everywhere online.

Pot metal was actually just a saying they used for Russian war guns. Sorry if it offended anyone
I have a P-3at and I love it. The gun is reliable. Several hundred rounds through it and the only problems I had was in the first 50 rounds (break in). I have fed to FMJ and hollow-points. I know some people have had problems with Kel-Tecs, but I haven't had any at all. I am planning on buying more Kel-Tec products so we will see how they do.
Kel-Tec P-3at, Taurus PT-908, Glock 17, Glock 19, Glock 26, Kel-Tec SUB-2000 9mm (Glock 17 mag compatible),Kel-Tec PF-9, Ruger SP-101 2¼ barrel hammerless, Maverick Arms 88 Security 8-shot 12 gauge, Marlin 336W .30-30 Win., Rossi Model 92 SRC .357 Mag.
All of the aforementioned pistols are fine. If weight is a primary consideration, I would suggest that you look into the Kel Tec PF9. This is not a "range" gun, but a "save your ***** in a pinch" pistol! Remember: Sight it in, make certain where the handgun groups with self-defense ammunition, and shoot it periodically with range ammunition periodically to "keep your hand in it".
Conceal it well, make certain that it is available when needed, and "keep your powder dry".
Good shooting,
I'd trust a Makarov over any pistol that says "Kel-Tec" on it, simply because of the reputation of durability and reliability. Being a fixed barrel/blowback design only enhances the reliability aspect. That being said, lots of people love their Kel-Tecs, and they do excel as pocket pistols due to their light weight and smaller size. I'd go PF-9 before I'd go with the .380. It's cheaper, and is a more powerful round.
Slow is smooth.....smooth is fast.
Never shot a Mak but my Kel-Tec P11 has been 100% reliable, I carried it most of this year. I replaced it with a Glock 19 this week. Now that I'm comfortable with carrying all the time, I find I can conceal a full size just as easily as a sub compact.

Earlier a witness, who has been identified as industrialist Sharat Nath, claimed that he was present at same place where Preity and Wadia were present on May 30 during an IPL match between Punjab and Chennai at Mumbai's Wankhede stadium.
Nath, during his interrogation, was quoted as saying, "Yes, I was present and I was standing around 10-12 rows behind Preity. She was in the very first line. I saw Wadia coming and his family members were with him. He went upto Preity and had a discussion but it wasn't a heated argument. Then he came back and took his family member to the air conditioned section. I just said hello to him as I don't know him that closely. I just know Wadia socially."
One media report quoted him as saying, "I saw Preity through out the match. I did not see them both going together somewhere. Whatever I saw there didn't ring any alarm bell. I didn't notice him touch her. He just walked away. From body language it looked like two people talking to each other."
The actress on June 13 filed an FIR against Wadia under IPC Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman).
Preity, who had gone to US soon after filing the FIR, returned to India and sources informed that police are likely to record her statement on Tuesday. Many media reports claimed that cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's teenage son Arjun too was present at the same place and was abused by Wadia while the kid had apparently asked him not to disturb them by his altercation with Preity.
Preity-Wadia case has taken a serious turn when the Wadia Group filed complaint saying underworld don has been threatening them on behalf of the actress. The duo, who were in a romantic relationship for five years, broke up but continue to co-own IPL team -- Kings XI Punjab.

The decision by the Premier League and Football League to not formally ask clubs to mark the death of Baroness Thatcher is receiving overwhelming support, including from the Hillsborough Family Support Group.
There had been suggestions that a minute's silence could be held around football grounds for the former Prime Minister, who died on Monday, although such a move has been rejected by the Premier League and Football League.
The weekend's FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley, which come under the jurisdiction of the Football Association, will not make any reference to Thatcher either, it has been confirmed.
However, Aviva Premiership rugby sides Saracens and Exeter have announced they will hold a minute of silence before their games this weekend.

The decisions from the football authorities have been supported by the Hillsborough Family Support Group who have said any silence in honour of Thatcher would be "a disgrace and an insult to all fans".
Margaret Aspinall, chair of the HFSG, spoke out amid growing pressure for some sort of mark of respect during this weekend's games. The Football Supporters' Federation has also voiced its agreement with the stance taken by the football authorities.
"The FSF backs the decision made by the football authorities not to impose a minute's silence across all fixtures this weekend to mark the death of Margaret Thatcher," read the statement.
"Should individual clubs wish to hold a minute's silence or commemorate the passing of Margaret Thatcher in their own manner that is a matter for them."
Reading are due to hold a minute's silence ahead of their game against Liverpool at the Madejski stadium on Saturday, however this will be a mark of remembrance for the 96 fans who died at the Hillsborough disaster. The 24th anniversary of the tragedy is on April 15.
Hillsborough also featured in the FSF statement, which added: "We would expect that most fans' thoughts this weekend will turn to the friends and families of those 96 fellow supporters who lost their lives at Hillsborough 24 years ago."
A statement on the club's website confirmed: "Supporters of Reading Football Club and Liverpool Football Club will hold a minute's silence before Saturday's fixture at Madejski Stadium as a mark of respect for the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.
Reading's statement read: "With the game falling two days before the 24th anniversary of the tragedy, plans began last week for a fitting tribute to the 96 supporters who lost their lives. The Royals contacted Liverpool FC; spoke to the Premier League and they of course agreed it was absolutely correct to pay respect on such an occasion."
Madejski had earlier heralded Thatcher's achievements and spoke in favour of making a gesture on behalf of the football world.
"We have got to appreciate that Margaret Thatcher was a world leader who did so much for this country. So much that she deserves a minute's silence," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"The funeral's going to take place at St Paul's (Cathedral), attended by the Queen and Prince Philip, so I think it would be a fitting tribute from the world of football to Margaret Thatcher, one of our greatest leaders."
The likelihood of Liverpool fans, hardly Thatcher's greatest supporters as a group, observing such a moment appeared remote, but Madejski argued in favour of respect.
Reflecting on the possibility of a silence being spoiled by dissenting factions, Madejski added: "Obviously I can appreciate that perhaps some people won't pay attention to it, which is sometimes the way at football, but I just think she was such a colossus in terms of the world stage that she deserves that respect from the whole nation.
"No colossus like that strides the world's stage without disenfranchising people at some stage or another, however the positive things that Margaret Thatcher achieved for our country speaks volumes and I think that outshines things that might not be considered so brilliant like the poll tax and so on."
Former sports minister Richard Caborn said Thatcher had "not been forgiven" in many communities and that any attempt to hold a minute's silence at football matches would backfire.
Caborn is quoted as saying: "In many places, especially in the north, Margaret Thatcher has not been forgiven for what she did to industry, to the miners and their communities which suffered immensely under her.
"To then ask for a minute's silence at a game of football is the wrong thing to do.
"I think the FA and Premier League have acted pragmatically and correctly.
"It's a pragmatic decision they could not control the fans if they decided not to respect the minute's silence, as would almost certainly happen at some grounds."
Aviva Premiership rugby club Saracens have announced they will hold a minute of silence to "respect the memory of Baroness Thatcher" ahead of their game against Worcester at Allianz Park on Sunday. Exeter Chiefs will also hold a minute's silence ahead of their game against London Irish.

At the age of thirty-eight, acclaimed novelist Julia Leigh made her first visit to the IVF clinic, full of hope. So started a long and costly journey of nightly injections, blood tests, surgeries, and rituals.Writing in the immediate aftermath of her decision to stop treatment, Leigh lays bare the truths of her experience: the highs of hope and the depths of disappointment, the grip of yearning and desire, the toll on her relationships, and the unexpected graces and moments of black humour. Along the way she navigates the science of IVF, copes with the impact of treatment, and reconciles the seductive promises of the worldwide multi-billion-dollar IVF industry with the reality.Avalanche is the book that's finally been written on IVF treatment: a courageous, compelling, and ultimately wise account of a profoundly important and widespread experience. At the heart of this work is an exploration of who and how we love. It is a story we can all relate to - about the dreams we have, defeated or otherwise, for ourselves, our loves, and our relationships.Avalanche bears witness to Leigh's raw desire, suffering, strength, and, in the end, transformation, and her shift to a different kind of love.

Lord Smith, chairman of the Environment Agency, spoke out after Transport Secretary Lord Adonis suggested a new report into the impact of aviation on global warming had given a green light to Heathrow expansion.
The Government's committee on climate change found expansion would not necessarily cause carbon emissions from aviation to exceed targets.
Lord Adonis said: "The committee's advice is consistent with the development of a third runway at Heathrow A third runway, even when fully utilised, would only account for about 10 per cent more UK flights than we have now, well within the 54 per cent cap suggested by the committee."
However, Lord Smith, whose agency has a major role in ruling on whether a third runway could go ahead, said his interpretation differed from that of Lord Adonis.
"What we can take from the work the committee has done is that we cannot continue expanding aviation exponentially," said the peer. "There needs to be a serious look at how much growth there can be in aviation over the next 20 to 30 years. In my view, that does continue to place a question mark over the sustainability of developing a new runway."
Current pollution, such as nitrogen dioxide levels, meant the third runway would have to wait for the development of greener aircraft, he said.
Today's report gave no view on the third runway but warned that Britain must rein in growth in flying to meet a pledge to keep aviation emissions to 2005 levels by mid-century. Environmental groups accused the Government of distorting the findings.

Cardiff residents could be asked to put out weekly recycling collections and keep household waste for two weeks under new proposals put forward by the council.
The new waste strategy proposes moving black bin bags to fortnightly collections and introducing weekly food and recycling waste collections in a blanket overhaul of the city's collection methods.
Cardiff council's executive board will consider the recommendations to endorse the new strategy this Thursday.
Chairman of the environmental scrutiny committee Simon Wakefield welcomed the proposals. He said:
"I personally have been wanting green bin bag recyclables to be collected weekly for a good couple of years now because it strikes me as a logical way to go.
"Most people I speak to who are already trying to recycle say they have more material in their green bags than black bags especially if the food waste is being collected weekly."
A new waste strategy for the city
The strategy was drawn up to address challenges meeting the recycling targets set by the Welsh Assembly Government – which aims for the nation to be recycling 70% of waste by 2025. The environmental scrutiny committee have also been looking into a number of options for the city's waste collection scheme.s
During a consultation with 1,457 residents of a 5,000 sample group, 66% said they were in favour of fortnightly black bag collections.
The proposals include a shake-up of the current refuse collection method in the city – which is currently different in each ward. Under the new waste strategy households would be required to move to weekly recycling collections, in the form of the green bag and kerbside caddy food collection, weekly nappy collections for those that need it, and fortnightly black bin bag (residual waste) and garden waste collections.
The report said this preferred option would lead to an increase of 8% towards the city's recycling targets.
The report said:
"Determining the appropriate collection system for Cardiff is not straightforward. Many factors need to be to taken into consideration to ensure that the end result delivers the recycling tonnage to meet the targets, and is sustainable, efficient and affordable.
"The impact on the public of any changes is crucial, and public participation in, and engagement with, waste management services will be an important determinant of the Council's success in moving towards "zero waste".
"The evidence suggests that the highest capture rate for recycling overall is obtained in connection with the weekly collection of dry recyclables and food waste, and the fortnightly collection of green waste. This needs to be coupled with a fortnightly black bin/bag collection to obtain maximum recyclable material."
Download the full report here (pdf).
The proposals also include the introduction of a new recycling centre at Lamby Way, improving bulky waste collections, and educating businesses in getting rid of waste properly.
The new waste strategy was also created to avoid the council running into costly fines caused by each ton of waste which has not been recycled.
The new scheme would also require a number of new routes for refuse collection vehicles made for the city, and could see collection day changes for many wards in the city.
Each household will be given a new kitchen caddy, which stores food waste and would be place on the kerbside for weekly collections. The kerbside caddy was trialled in a number of wards in the last year. The new changes in collections are due to start in September 2011 with the new waste strategy in place by March 2012.
Councillor Simon Wakefield added that there may be a bedding down period of 'mayhem' and good educational messages were essential. He said:
"The council education and awareness campaign really has to kick in because the food waste containers will be rolled out to everywhere in the city that doesn't have a wheely bin system.
"There should be a reason for decaying waste to be in the black bags which are rippable by seagulls and rats. It's a bogus concern.
"If people followed their waste collection guidelines there wouldn't be anything for the seagulls to have a go at."
Some councillors called for the new waste strategy to go before the full council after the executive, and Wakefield said although he personally would agree with this, he felt the scrutiny committee had satisfactorily looked at the proposals.
"It's gone to three or four environmental scrutiny committee meetings and had a good look at the strategy bit by bit. We made the decision to look at it in bite-sized chunks."

In the past decade, systematic studies have indicated a significant regression in scientific literacy in nonscience students and students across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines in higher education. Of particular concern, evaluations of introductory lecture-based undergraduate courses have indicated deficiencies in promoting students' understanding of the role of science and how the scientific community conducts science. In an effort to introduce students to the scientific enterprise, an inquiry-based poster project was developed for a large non-majors environmental science class at a public Midwestern university. Through a term-long project, students (n = 64) worked in a collaborative means to collect and analyze data regarding sustainability topics. Students' findings were disseminated in a poster presentation during a culminating research symposium that was attended by departmental faculty and university administrators. This paper describes the development and implementation of the inquiry-based project with some preliminary data demonstrating the effectiveness of this activity in promoting student learning and engagement.

He strode through the hospital with all the confidence of a true master of his domain.
Okay, he limped. Gimped.
Dr. House headed to his office, and opened the door.
"... these are selling really well on e-bay, and I'm getting some cash as well as clearing some space."
"Whatever happened to a garage sale?"
"You just turned into your dad then."
"Differential diagnosis on turning into your father." Foreman and Chase turned to see their boss enter, making a beeline straight for the coffee machine. "Symptoms include hair in your ears, a preference for Volvos, and realising that you can date someone half your age and it's legal."
Foreman leaned back. "Care to tell us how you cope?"
"Oh, I got myself innoculated years ago. Although ..." He snatched some of the items off the table "... dating becomes a non-issue when you bring comic books into the workplace, Dr. Chase."
"How do you know they're mine?"
"Comics are more of a white guy sort of thing." House looked at the cover. "The ... Mighty Thor?"
"Yeah ... he's a god ..."
"Norse God of Thunder." House showed the cover. "And he's supposed to be a redhead."
Chase would not be deterred. "And he ... has a magic hammer ... and when he hits his hammer on the ground ... he changes into ..." Chase glanced at House.
"Into ...?"
"A ... lame doctor."
House gave him a blank stare for a five-count before slowly approaching. "Lame as in a ... dare I say it, cripple, or lame as in ... you?"
Chase was trying to form an answer. Honest.
House decided not to give him an opportunity, and swept the remaining comics from the table. "Any teenager who doesn't trade these in for a Penthouse should automatically qualify for therapy."
"Hey what are you ..."
House turned from the door to Chase. "Teacher says you can have these back at the end of the day."
House had propped his leg on the desk, analysing the comic book for suitable lines of dialogue to use as future humiliation material. So far, four passable, one good, and one real juicy line that deserved a full audience.
He'd finished with the adventures of Tony Stark using his transistorised super-armour to fight godless Communists, and was starting on The Mighty Thor.
Apparently the writers had picked at the elements of the mythology and added some bits of their own. Only certain people picking the hammer up ...?
"Whosoever holds this hammer ... if he be worthy ... shall possess the power of ... Thor."
Worthy. Who determined who was worthy? A Viking God? Did you have to meet a quota of rape and pillage before being able to pick up a defective Viking weapon?
House looked at his cane, resting in his right hand.
He picked it up with his fingers, letting it drop a few times.
Then he held it in his fist, and slammed it down on it's base, hard.
Cuddy looked at her watch. By now, House was probably ditching clinic duty. Time to get up and browbeat him into doing what every other doctor in this hospital did willingly, some even liked.
She got up - and a rumble filled the hospital.
Every light flickered and died. Her computer shut down.
From the sounds beyond the office door, it sounded like a hospital wide blackout.
What the hell was going on ...?
House was on the floor.
He couldn't remember lying on the floor, leaning his head against the glass.
And a burning smell permeated the whole room.
He pushed himself up -
- and knew something was wrong.
The pain in his leg, even when most heavily medicated was a dull, nagging, presence at the very best, was gone.
And looking down only compounded more nagging questions, like; Why am I wearing leather leggings instead of my stylish clearance sale Wal Mart jeans?
Not to mention what looked like a thick leather belt and rather heavy looking metal gauntlets.
And the real kicker was why everything looked at least half a foot smaller.
And everything, at least everything in this office looked like a whirlwind had gone through it. Not to mention his computer - which he had meant to back up three years ago - was fried.
Fried, as in partially melted. Not to mention his Nintendo DS and his iPod.
Now he identified the smell: ozone.
Then there was something where his cane used to be.
A large metal-and-stone hammer. The head of the hammer was there purely to demonstrate that the haft was clearly not a baseball bat.
House peered at the now dead monitor.
A face very similar to his, but now sporting straggly shoulder-length hair peered back at him.
House staggered back, noticing the few things that had escaped destruction.
Namely Chase's comics.
"Oh crap."

The New Yorker has a feature on the Tea Party movement and characterizes it this way:
As spring passed into summer, the scores at local Tea Party gatherings turned to hundreds, and then thousands, collecting along the way footloose Ron Paul supporters, goldbugs, evangelicals, Atlas Shruggers, militiamen, strict Constitutionalists, swine-flu skeptics, scattered 9/11 "truthers," neo-"Birchers," and, of course, "birthers"—those who remained convinced that the President was a Muslim double agent born in Kenya.
Which one of those stereotypes means "hard-working, middle class American conservative"?
Ben McGrath is the author of the piece and after chronicling the oddities of the past decade, to include the collapse of Detroit and Wall Street, the election of an African American Democratic President, and the "erosion of public trust in élite institutions," as well as possibly the strangest of all, "an obscure state senator who once posed naked for Cosmopolitan emerges, after driving a pickup truck around Massachusetts, as a leading contender to unseat the aforementioned President."
What's shocking? The part that Scott Brown posed naked for Cosmopolitan when he was 22 years old or the part that he drove a pickup truck?
McGrath contends that "American history is dotted with moments like this, when, as the Princeton historian Sean Wilentz says, "panic and vitriol come to the fore," occasioning a temporary realignment of political interests."
You can read the rest of McGrath's summation of the Tea Party movement, including his opinion of Dick Armey whom he characterizes as "an absent-minded professor in cowboy boots," here.

The Democrat's fixation on Scott Brown's nude photo shoot kills me. So many of them don't seem to mind lots of premarital sex, importing underage Central Americans for sex slavery, sex between consenting eight year olds and teaching masturbation in Head Start. But let someone to the right of them undress and they go all Taliban on you.

- 12 thin slices of mortadella
- 12 ounces fresh robiola or goat cheese
- 12 basil leaves
- 3 cups packed baby arugula leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- Salt
On a work surface, lay out 4 slices of the mortadella. Spoon some robiola in the center of each one and top it with a basil leaf. Fold the mortadella over the cheese, fold in the sides to form a neat packet and secure it with toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining mortadella, robiola and basil.
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Grill the mortadella packets over high heat for about 1 minute per side, until they are lightly charred and the cheese has melted. Discard the toothpicks.
In a bowl, toss the arugula with the olive oil and vinegar and season with salt. Transfer to a platter. Arrange the packets around the arugula and serve right away.

The smart ICU comprehensively and electronically integrates the patient in the ICU with all aspects of care, displays data in a variety of formats, converts data to actionable information, uses data proactively to enhance patient safety, and monitors the ICU environment to facilitate patient care and ICU management. The keys to success in this complex informatics design process include an understanding of advanced informatics concepts, sophisticated planning, installation of a robust infrastructure capable of both connectivity and interoperability, and implementation of middleware solutions that provide value. Although new technologies commonly appear compelling, they are also complicated and challenging to incorporate within existing or evolving hospital informatics systems. Therefore, careful analysis, deliberate testing, and a phased approach to the implementation of innovative technologies are necessary to achieve the multilevel solutions of the smart ICU.

Soccer-River sign mega extension to kit sponsorship deal
By Luis Ampuero
BUENOS AIRES Nov 20 (Reuters) - South American champions River Plate have signed a deal unprecedented in Argentine soccer with sportswear giant Adidas that will bring the club $10 million a year until 2021.
The deal puts River, who won their third Libertadores Cup this year, at the top of the Argentine game in terms of revenue thanks to two years of growth under the club presidency of Rodolfo D'Onofrio.
"The contract we had with Adidas was until 2018 and it has been extended until 2021 for 60 million dollars," River's marketing president Luis Landoni told Reuters on Friday.
"The contract was increased by 70 percent and approved at a board meeting and ratified by a (club) members' assembly," he said.
Adidas will continue to supply the team with their distictive white shirts with a red diagonal band in a deal that now surpasses the $8 million one that arch-rivals Boca Juniors have with sportswear company Nike.
"The 10 million dollars a year are for sponsorship, bonuses and prizes for objectives achieved by the team," Landoni said.
Former club president Daniel Passarella, who as captain and coach had led River to a string of titles, ran the club down financially during a four-year tenure that ended in December 2013 and was marked by relegation in June 2011.
Never had River, a club that has produced reams of Argentine internationals and launched the likes of Alfredo Di Stefano, Norberto Alonso and Passarella to greatness, fallen so low. Continuación...

Eisenberg delves into doppelganger drama in Ayoade's 'The Double'
By Piya Sinha-Roy
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The appearance of a doppelganger precipitates a severe psychological identity crisis in British actor-director Richard Ayoade's latest film "The Double," as actor Jesse Eisenberg faces himself on screen.
In "The Double," Eisenberg plays both Simon, a shy, introverted and forgettable office worker, and the brash, egotistical James, a physically identical man with a polar opposite extrovert personality. The film opened in limited U.S. theaters last week and will be showcased at the Seattle International Film Festival this week.
Ayoade, 36, is best known for playing nerd extraordinaire Maurice Moss on British TV comedy series "The IT Crowd," but the bespectacled actor is carving out a career behind the camera.
For his second directorial feature, Ayoade adapted Fyodor Dostoyevsky's classic 1846 novella "The Double" about a man who meets his doppelganger and descends into a psychological crisis.
In his film, Eisenberg's Simon endures a similar journey as his doppelganger James begins to take over his life in a callous, selfish manner, manipulating love interests and work colleagues to believe Simon's existence is inconsequential.
"I liked the central premise of this person who is so unnoticeable that no one cares when the doppelganger arrives. It's not a story about a regular person, it's really a metaphor for his situation rather than an incident," the director said.
Casting Eisenberg was key for the independent film, which featured the actor playing opposite himself in numerous scenes that Ayoade said needed meticulous timing and rehearsal.
"We needed someone who could internally animate the two different roles," he said. "The characters looked different when he was playing each one ... he has a very expressive face and his thoughts do radiate depending on how he's commanding them." Continued...

I have a Linksys WRT54GS wired to my new PC and the printer is wired to the new PC. The new PC is replacing a PC running XP Home and I had a simple home network where i could share files and the printer. Now, since I am running two different OSs and the wireless network setup in 7 being different from XP, I don't know how to do this. Any help or perhaps a link to a tutorial would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I have provided the necessary info; if not, I can get what is needed to proceed. Thanks.

Northern Europe cruise
Sail Date: June 16, 2016
Reviewed: 11 months ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Suite
Cabin: 938
My husband and I had a lovely cruise on Voyager that spanned 10 days and visited France, Spain, Ireland and Wales. The ship, service, food, excursions were all wonderful. My only hesitation for booking with Regent again would be dealing with their Air Services department who don't seem competent to schedule the appropriate time for connecting flights.

At Emmy London we believe that we can make your perfect pair of shoes and accessories for your wedding or any other important life event. We offer a range of beautiful ready-to-wear styles which you can order online or at our London Boutique.
But what if you love the Emmy style but you need a lower heel or fancy a different colour? We can help! Our luxury Bespoke service offers you the opportunity to take one of Emmy's gorgeous designs and customise it, to create your own unique pair of shoes. The first step of the process is to make an appointment at our beautiful Chelsea Boutique.
Appointments last an hour, over a cup of tea you can chat about the look you are aiming to create with one of our trained stylists (or with Emmy herself!). We will suggest a range of styles for you to try to find the right shape and heel height, and explain the options for customising each one. Once you have found your perfect shoe we look at a range of suedes, leathers and silks in a selection of beautiful colours to find the perfect combination for you. The final stage is the most fun, complete your design from our range of exquisite detail options!
In summary, this is our step by step process:
1) Choose your shape
2) Decide which heel is best for you
3) We help check your correct size for the option you have chosen
4) Choose from our range of colours and materials
5) Complete your design with the perfect trim
Costs for our Bespoke service will vary and will be available upon request. But as a rough indication, it is an additional £200 on top of the price of our standard shoe. Once your design is complete, we take a 50% deposit of the total cost to place your order, and Emmy will send you a hand drawn sketch with swatches of the colours you have chosen.
Once you are happy with your design choices we will work on creating your unique order which usually takes around 10-12 weeks, however if you don't have this long please enquire and we will do our best to accommodate you.
When your shoes are ready we get in touch to book your collection appointment, where you try on your finished shoes and we check everything is perfect for you before you pay the balance and take them away with you for your big day and beyond!

The City Of Holland Okays Chickens
Holland's city council decides it will be legal to keep chickens in your yard inside the city limits. It took a year to come to that decision.
The Holland Sentinel relates that, a year ago, one family wanted to keep one chicken as a pet.
Beginning in three weeks, depending on how much land you have, the new law will allow you grow as many as half a dozen chickens for their eggs and meat.
But no roosters.

It was at Union Carbide Plant where the world's worst industrial disaster took place in 1984. The disaster is said to have killed around 15,000, and left behind thousands crippled for life.
The German agency had earlier proposed to airlift the waste to Germany and incinerate, say sources. Sources add that the agency, Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), has sent a letter terminating the offer to Union minister P Chidambaram on September 17. Chidambaram heads the Group of Ministers looking into all matters related to the 1984 gas leak disaster in Bhopal.
India was supposed to pay the German government firm GIZ $ 4.5 million for the job.
Sources reveal that the information leak in the German media earlier this month has created a hostile environment in Germany, and so the waste can no longer be taken to Germany from India.
It is said that the German public and environmental activists are opposed to taking hazardous waste from India to Germany. They have strongly protested against the permission granted by Germany to airlift the waste.

USC's linebacker depth took a hit on Tuesday when head coach Clay Helton announced that sophomore Osa Masina and redshirt sophomore Don Hill have been suspended from all team activities for the duration of the year.
"As you know, we had already confirmed that Osa and Don would not be playing in our first two games," Helton said on the Pac-12 Coaches Conference call Tuesday. "Under the University's further guidance, it has been decided that they have been suspended from participation with our football team. Any questions related to that should be directed to the University."
The linebacker roommates had been suspended for the first two games, but had been able to practice and attend team meetings. It now appears that will no be the case for the rest of the season.
Masina, the former five-star Salt Lake City (Utah) Brighton inside linebacker, was originally suspended in the week leading up to USC's season opener against Alabama for a violation of team rules after reports surfaced that he was being investigated for sexual assaults of the same woman in Los Angeles and Cottonwood Heights, Utah that occurred during the summer.
Hill traveled with the team to Dallas, Texas for the Alabama game, but was sent home Friday morning for a violation of team rules after reports that he was named in the Los Angeles Police Department's search warrant for Masina.
No charges have been filed against either player.
Masina had been expected to contend for a starting role entering fall camp, but was listed as a backup behind senior Michael Hutchings at the WILL linebacker spot when Helton released his initial depth chart midway through fall camp. Hill was backing up Porter Gustin at the Predator outside linebacker position.
The suspensions of Masina and Hill haven't had a big impact on the field where defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast has not substituted frequently in the first two games. Masina had 25 tackles and a 46-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown as a freshman last season. Hill had seven tackles as a redshirt freshman last year.
