A group of volunteers cruised Corona del Mar early on the Fourth of July, installing about 120 flags along East Coast Highway to celebrate Independence Day.
"God bless America," Ray Kilz of Balboa Island said while he jogged in a fine mist to install another flag.
The tradition began years ago; the volunteers don't remember exactly when. The group gathers about 6 a.m. seven times a year on patriotic holidays and Sept. 11. They divide into teams, trying to beat their records for installing the flags quickly.
On Wednesday, after about 40 minutes, the group gathered at Pain Du Monde for their traditional coffee break.
"This is family here," said volunteer Vaughn Barnes of Corona del Mar.
Barnes said he was thinking about his son, Andrew Barnes, as he installed the flags. His son is aU.S. Armymedic in Afghanistan.
"I was Skyping him Friday, and I head mortars," Barnes said. "He said he had to go, had to get into a bunker … "
Other volunteers said they were veterans, and others said they loved the United States and freedom.
"I'm a patriot," said Tom Boris of Newport Coast.
"It's an honor," said CdM resident Jacqueline Wittmeyer, who organizes the flag installations. "Everyone who is here wants to be here because it's an honor to them."
Wittmeyer said new flags are always needed, and donors who contribute $100 will receive a certificate from U.S. Rep. John Campbell (R-Irvine).
"Some people make the donation in honor of a new baby or for a birthday," she said.
She also said volunteers are always needed, particularly for removing the flags late in the afternoon. Anyone who is interested is asked to call her at (949) 338-9393.
Other volunteers on the Fourth were David Riley, Tiana Roman, Jim Digrado, Mike Lesher, Steve Jelnick, Giana Giannulli, Vance Gay and Jeff Adamek.
Little feedback for traffic study
Changes in traffic lanes on East Coast Highway between Avocado and Carnation avenues went into place recently, but so far the study has generated little feedback from the public, city officials said.
"As of 10 o'clock last night, I had heard one comment, and it was favorable," Mayor Nancy Gardner told members of the Corona del Mar Business Improvement District on June 28. "I expect to come back to a box full."
On Monday, however, Gardner said she still hadn't heard much. One person who had contacted her was concerned about parking spaces that have been removed, but Gardner told her that the spaces would be replaced if the project moves forward. A third person said he didn't like the project's aesthetics, which would be improved if it changes were to be permanent.
Garen Yegenian, owner of Korker Liquor store, has a front-line view of the new merge location, which is in front of his shop at 2229 E. Coast Hwy. He said several of his customers have complained about the project, and one man said it contributed to a minor traffic collision.
Newport Beach police have taken no reports of traffic collisions near the traffic study, said spokeswoman Kathy Lowe. However, a minor collision might not have come to the Police Department's attention.
City staff has received a few calls about the project, said city spokeswoman Tara Finnigan.
But most of the callers, she said, had general questions and were not complaining. City staff is monitoring the traffic flow by driving through the site as well as observing live traffic feeds from a camera.
Unique bicycle display at CdM Florist
Corona del Mar Florist's latest window display features an old-school bicycle with a wire basket stuffed with red, white and blue flowers — half in and half out of the shop, as if it were riding through the glass.
"People are stopping," said owner Karen Yould. "They walk by, they look at it, they turn back and look again. We get a lot of junior guards riding past, and they just smile. Some people put their hand up to the glass window to see how it could be going through."
The answer to that is a brother who can weld, said Yould, who decided to make the display after seeing an image online several months ago. She bought the old-fashioned girls bike on Craigslist, and her brother cut it in half and then helped make the stands for the display.
Yould, who has owned the shop since 2007, said that coming up with creative window displays has become a signature.
"Does it sell flowers?" she said her husband asked. "I think at some point it will. People will think of us — the shop with the cute displays."
The shop is at 3337 E. Coast Hwy.
"It's probably going to be part of our Fourth of July tradition," she said, adding that it could return for spring or back-to-school displays.
Sushi restaurant possibly closed for good
The Gen Kai, 3344 E. Coast Hwy., appears to have closed, as the sushi restaurant's awning and sign were removed and a city business license search shows a different restaurant named for the location.
Calls to Gen Kai were not answered, and there was no immediate response to a message seeking information.
Newport Beach business license data show a restaurant called Sota, owned by Sota Akiyama, obtained a license for the location June 6.
A sign in the window states, "We are on vacation. We apologize for the inconvenience."
A search of Newport Beach online business licenses does not show a listing for Gen Kai.

We moved on Sunday, after an all-night frenzy of last-minute packing. Even though we had been packing for six weeks—and before the official packing had begun, had purged our belongings for our Open House, in order that we might fool would-be buyers into thinking that our home was clean and spacious and not inhabited by unhinged packrats—we were still up all night packing. There seems to be no way around this. Nature demands that the night before you uproot yourselves and leave your loved ones, you must also be deprived of sleep.
For the first day or two here I was positively blissful, but at some point on Tuesday I began my slow decline. It went a little like this:
Day 1: It's so pretty here. And peaceful! This is going to be great!
Day 2: The quiet! I love it. I LOVE IT. I can't believe I love living here! In the suburbs!
Day 3: Wow, the quiet, it sure doesn't stop, does it? Isn't there any noise?
Day 4: OH GOD, THE SILENCE. THE AWFUL SILENCE. MAKE IT STOP.
Day 5: Goddamn silence makes me want to punch someone. And what's this "I have to drive everywhere" shit?
Speaking of driving, I've only driven the car twice and already I've made at least two wildly boneheaded driving maneuvers. I err on the side of caution, as I am a 90-year-old trapped in a 37-year-old's body. In one instance, my bony hands clutched the wheel at 10 and 2 as I came to a dead stop at an intersection because I couldn't find the damn light (why do they hide it on the side like that?) and then wondered why everyone around me was leaning on their horns. (Even the people without cars! Kids these days! Walking around with horns!) But I'll get used to this, right? Someone? At some point, I hope to stop sweating so hard my hands are sliding off the steering wheel.
It doesn't help that my son has developed a car aversion, due no doubt to his delightful new tendency to vomit after relatively short car rides. (Dear relatives who want us to come visit you: will you wait until my son's eighteen? If he's not over this by then I'm pretty sure he could at least hold the bag over his mouth.) Today we went for a five-minute ride so that I could go to a dermatologist (because my face reacts to stress by EXPLODING. And my hair falls out! I'm breathtaking), and I thought Scott and Henry might like to check out the neighborhood library and meet me afterward, and boy what a bad idea that was! Which I realized when we told Henry we were getting into the car! "NOOOOO!" he shrieked. "GAAAAAH! I'm going to THROW UP!" he informed us. He didn't, thankfully, and when we got there he informed us that the ride "wasn't so bad after all," a fact that leapt gazelle-like from his mind when it was time to get back into the car to go home. He went all boneless and wept facedown on the sidewalk while Scott and I discussed if it was okay to leave him there for the afternoon.
But enough about him; let's get back to me. On the positive side, I have discovered my Inner Extrovert. I had thought I was on the shy side, but now that there's no one around, I'm jonesing for the sweet stink of humanity. It's unspeakably weird to have, instead of hundreds of people on your block, maybe eight. (It's a small block.) While I used to sit in my apartment gritting my teeth while gaggles of morons stood directly outside my window, leaning against the security grate and discussing That Slut Chrissy Who Totally Fooled Around with Rick (for example), I now find myself standing on my porch, shrieking salutations at the 3 or 4 people foolish enough to pass by. (If you happen to be in Jersey and you spot a hairless acne-ridden hysteric perched on her weed-choked lawn, flailing her limbs, do not be afraid. That's how I say hello!) The few brave souls I've spoken to have been lovely, even when my son tried to kiss them full on the lips. (Apparently he feels as I do, with the whole love of humanity thing.)
Also! Weeds! We have this lawn, and we have absolutely not one single clue what to do with it. We also don't know how to take care of, oh, anything else. Our ignorance in all home ownership matters is absolutely staggering. So far our strategy has been to stare at the weeds and say, "We really should, I don't know, rip those out?" and then go back inside and stare at the boxes and say, "Oh, god, so much to unpack." And then we join Henry in his Quest For Galactic Dominance, in the relatively clean corner of the dining room.
So yeah, so far this is all working out just fine.

The Book in the Iberian Atlantic, 1492–1824
Eugenia Roldán Vera
The Atlantic world has not only been a geographic space for the exchange of people and products. Since the 16th century, it has also been a cultural space for the production, exchange, diffusion, reading, and rewriting of printed objects. Historians of the independence era constructed the view that Latin America had been "closed to the outside world" during the years of the Spanish and Portuguese domination; however, later research has shown that this was not the case. Latin American countries, especially from the 18th century onward, were part of a print network through which all kinds of information was being produced, circulated, and read.
During the Spanish Enlightenment, especially at the time of the wars of independence (1808–1824), this circulation intensified. The end of the Spanish and Portuguese trade monopoly in the region, changes in the regime of print rights, technological developments that lowered the costs of publishing, and transformations of the forms of sociability that the wars of independence themselves generated gave way to an explosion of print all over the Atlantic word. Newspapers, pamphlets, and books on topics that were not only religious but also political, literary, satirical, and educational were printed and circulated in the region. This helped to change forever the way the Latin Americans viewed themselves and contributed to the formation of new nations.
Although the circulation of ideas throughout the Atlantic does not account for the development of political and social transformations that led to the independence of the Latin American countries, print culture and political culture are connected in many different ways. This article explores some of these forms of interaction.
The Conjunction of the Lettered City and the Lettered Countryside in 19th-Century Mexico
William E. French
A persuasive literature has argued that the course of Latin American history from the arrival of Europeans to the present has been shaped to a large extent by a small but expanding group of literate bureaucrats, church officials, lawyers, and intellectuals, known as letrados, who made their lives in urban centers. Those marked by this combination of power, urban living, and the written word, an assemblage that Angel Rama has dubbed "the lettered city," utilized literature, history, the law, politics, and higher education to imagine the country into existence textually and to justify the hierarchies and inequalities that characterized their rule. Yet in Mexico, as elsewhere in Latin America, writing has a long history in nonelite settings, a venue that, in recognition of this fact, has now been referred to as "the lettered countryside." Moreover, as understandings of a single literacy are giving way to a concern with "literacies," defined in the plural and operating in relationship rather than opposed to such things as orality and visuality, traces of literacy practices are being discovered in many locations. Foregrounding the conjunction of the lettered city and the lettered countryside is an attempt to bring these venues into conversation while doing away with the binary that associates literary with the city and orality with the rural.
Over the course of the 19th century in Mexico, although the written word was still pressed into the service of national imagining, a number of other characteristics shaped the conjunction of the lettered city and the lettered countryside. A struggle over secularization was one new development, as authority came increasingly to be invested in the written word itself rather than justified in religious terms. New forms of literacies emerged, especially those associated with the novel and other forms of publications, including newspapers, periodicals for and by women, and the penny press, creating new publics with distinct senses of themselves as communities of readers and listeners; oratory, public discussion of politics and other issues in various venues, and the phenomenon of indirect readers also brought together these two locations. As early as the 1840s, rural residents in some parts of the country had made writing their own, drafting political proclamations in which they defined such things as federalism in their own terms and asserted themselves in national politics. While elite diarists, both men and women, left traces of their emotional lives in various forms of life writing over the course of the entire period, ordinary people, including mine workers, agricultural laborers, and women who carried out household duties, wrote love letters to each other by the last third of the century, if not before. Composed and exchanged by means of cooperation, the use of intermediaries known as evangelistas, or by individuals with various degrees of facility in reading and writing, love letters served as privileged means of communicating the emotions they brought into being while often ending up as evidence in legal proceedings that continued to assert the prerogatives of the lettered city even as it came ever more intimately conjoined with the lettered countryside.
Cultural Institutions of the Brazilian Empire
Lilia Katri Moritz Schwarcz
This article provides a larger panorama of the cultural politics of the Brazilian Empire during the 19th century and following the long Second Reign of Pedro II. The central figure of the emperor—as a kind of animator of cultural, scientific, and artistic life—and the conservative profile of the national movement are key issues. The article analyzes the development of the main professional schools of the country, which taught medicine (in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador) and law (in São Paulo and Recife), and also tells the story of the Historical and Geographical Institute and the origins of the museums of art in Rio de Janeiro, the former capital of the court, and scientific museums in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Belém.
Cultural Policies of the Chávez Government
Sujatha Fernandes
The cultural policies of the left-wing government of Hugo Chávez in Venezuela in the new millennium saw a shift back to funding and patronage of the arts after years of defunding and commodification of cultural production. However, despite leading to a renaissance of cultural activity, Chavista cultural policy also retained a modernist rationality that treated cultural production as objects to be classified and quantified. Official cultural policy in Venezuela has historically developed alongside popular-cultural formations that draw on alternative conceptions of culture that stem from everyday life. The official and the everyday have developed in tandem and, sometimes, at cross-purposes. Many scholars look to policies and states as the producers of change, but it is at the level of the everyday that we can see the emerging possibilities that define cultural movements in search of social change.
Digital Resources: The State of Digital Research on the Visual Culture of Spanish America
Barbara E. Mundy and Dana Leibsohn
Across the last 25 years, digital projects on the visual culture of Latin America have begun to shape, ever more fundamentally, both research and teaching environments. To be sure, books and journal essays remain the dominant mode of publishing (and significantly so), but digital projects—made possible in part because of increasingly accessible databases and less expensive editing platforms—are becoming widely recognized as key elements in the visual and intellectual landscape. The visual culture of Spanish America (also known as colonial visual culture or viceregal visual culture) extends across three centuries, dating from roughly 1520 to 1820. Yet its history, which embraces both the physical traces of everyday life and ephemeral experiences, is arguably the least familiar of Latin America's artistic and material legacies, especially outside Latin American Studies. Nonetheless, the period has inspired a suite of projects that, considered together, highlight the current potentials (and limits) of digital work, provide useful models for future research, and open onto debates relevant across the digital humanities (as they are currently called).
If this is the basic landscape, then what are the important issues when it comes to the intersections of digital technologies and colonial visual culture? This question is considered here along three avenues. First, what can be achieved with existing software, particularly imaging software, and the inherent epistemological assumptions imbedded in software commonly used? This topic receives the most attention because future research depends so heavily upon our perceptions and understandings of present technological capabilities. The second theme considered is accessibility. Given that institution-driven projects, most often online ventures sponsored by a museum or a library, have opened certain collections to an online public, what are the implications of the accessibility they offer, and how might such databases shape the parameters of research—both in the data they provide and in the kinds of questions their technologies make it possible to pose and answer? Finally, consideration is given to the possibilities and potentials for collaboration that the online environment offers in the study of visual culture of Latin America.
To set a framework for discussion, this article begins with a broad view, "The Object(s) of Visual Culture," and then turns to examples of scholar-driven projects currently online. Typically, these are generated by scholars working at universities and dependent upon both internal and external funding. The sections "Seeing Images, Knowing Landscapes" and "Epistemological Assumptions" not only describe examples, but also explore the modes of interpretation that digital environments enable and the habits of viewing that are produced as a result. Because scholar-driven projects do not exist in isolation, the article turns to institution-driven projects, represented primarily by digitized museum collections and archives, which have become central components of the research environment. Many projects in this vein are well-described elsewhere—our focus therefore rests on the effects on the larger research landscape, in a section called "Accessibility, Canonicity, Finance." Lastly, issues related to collaboration are dealt with, in order to both address ideas that are being explored through digital work in other fields, but which have not yet surfaced with much force in the field of colonial visual culture, and to ask why.
Digital Resources: The Handbook of Latin American Studies
Katherine D. McCann and Tracy North
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Latin American History. Please check back later for the full article.
The Handbook of Latin American Studies is a selective annotated bibliography of works about Latin America. Continuously published since 1936, the Handbook has been compiled and edited by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress for seventy-five years. Published works in multiple languages are selected for inclusion in the Handbook by a cadre of contributing editors, actively working scholars who provide a service to the field by annotating works of lasting scholarly value and writing bibliographical essays noting major trends, changes, and gaps in existing research. In 1995, the Hispanic Division launched the website HLAS Online, providing access to a database of more than 340,000 annotated citations. The ability to search across more than 50 volumes of the Handbook with a single query gave researchers unprecedented access to years of scholarship on Latin America. In 2000, HLAS Web, a new search interface with more robust functionality, was launched. The two sites link researchers worldwide to a vast body of selected resources on Latin America. The Handbook itself has become a record of the history of the field of Latin American studies and an indicator of changing trends in the field. With digital access to Handbook citations of books, articles, and more, scholars are able not only to identify specific works of interest, but also to follow the rise of new areas of study, such as women's studies, cultural history, environmental history, and Atlantic studies, among others.
History of Alternative Communication in Chile: Phases and Endeavors
Chiara Sáez and Jorge Iturriaga
With the surge of social struggles tied to the implementation of capitalist modernization at the end of the 19th century, diverse forms of technology-based mass communication in Chile arose to represent the emergence of social sectors that didn't participate in the dominant culture and sought to disseminate an alternative. Working-class and feminist newspapers, neighborhood theaters, and Cordel literature broke away from the traditional elitist and pedagogical nature that had defined the media until that time. Since then, with cycles that have ebbed and flowed, numerous communicative experiences were related to mass culture in controversial ways: they opposed it, converged with it, et cetera. Even though it is possible to trace the continuity between the cases described, this continuity is not clear upon first glance, due to its underground and nascent character. In general terms, these experiences were not established as an autonomous space for technical or aesthetic experiments; when there was a strategy, it tended to be political in nature, whereas communicative material remained conditional. Finally, the study of these cases implies a paradox: the 20th century began with a vast number of alternative communication projects that became institutionalized over the years, but they re-emerged more autonomously during Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship and the era that followed. This process of institutionalization alludes to an inversely proportional relationship between the process of incorporating the masses into positions of power (in the period between 1925 and 1973) and the development of alternative communication: these experiences are plentiful in the less institutionalized contexts of the enlightened working-class culture (that is, preceding the founding of the Communist Party in 1922 and after the anti-working-class culture that has accompanied the neoliberalism imposed since the dictatorship).
Honor Ideology, Dueling Culture, and Judicial Lies in 1920s Uruguay
David S. Parker
In Montevideo in 1923, streetcar company executive Juan Cat shot at journalist and Communist parliamentarian Celestino Mibelli in the atrium of the Uruguayan Congress. Despite this premeditated assassination attempt in front of numerous witnesses, Cat was released, the judge accepting the possibility that his actions were in legitimate self-defense. The logic that led police, prosecutor, and judge to arrive at conclusions that seemed to contradict both the evidence and the law hinged upon, and in the process reveals, deeply conflicting ideas of honor, family, the public versus the private sphere, and the unwritten laws that governed journalism in 1920s Uruguay. Mibelli had published a series of scandalous newspaper stories, one involving Cat's young daughter, and many Uruguayans identified with the aggrieved father, arguing that an attack on family honor was no different from a physical assault. The only legally and socially acceptable remedy for Cat was to challenge his slanderer to a duel, but Mibelli refused to accept challenges because he considered dueling elitist. In the end, the police report, the prosecutor's brief, and the judge's ruling each subtly distorted the details of the encounter to construct Cat's attack as a quasi-duel, a frustrated attempt to "demand explanations" from Mibelli, following a ritualized script set down in the dueling codes of the era. Factually, Cat's actions were no such thing, but by crafting the narrative of an "affair of honor" gone wrong, official lies reflected deeper cultural truths.
Humboldt in Mexico, 1803–1804
Myron Echenberg
During his breathtaking 19th-century scientific explorations of New Spain (as Mexico was known under Spanish rule), illustrious German scientific traveler Alexander von Humboldt crammed a lifetime of scientific studies into one extraordinary year: exhausting inspections of three major colonial silver mines, prodigious hikes to the summits of most of Mexico's major volcanoes while taking scientific measurements and botanical samples, careful study of hitherto secret Spanish colonial archives in Mexico City, and visits to recently uncovered archaeological sites of pre-Hispanic cultures. Humboldt wrote voluminously about his Mexican experiences and is an indispensable source of insights into the colony of New Spain on the eve of its troubled birth as independent Mexico a decade later.
Indigenous Intellectuals in Colonial Latin America
David Tavárez
The epistemic assumptions, methods, and rhetoric employed by colonial indigenous intellectuals in Latin America were based on preconquest intellectual labor and literacy systems. These practices were deeply impacted by collaborative projects and historical scholarship undertaken in the 16th century, as indigenous elites embraced European literacy and scholarly models. This merging of diverse traditions led to a "golden age" of indigenous intellectual achievements in the 17th century, and to a diversity of genres cultivated by native scholars in late colonial times. Indigenous historical actors were intellectuals not only because they recorded and disseminated historical, religious, or political knowledge, but also because they were inserted in culturally hybrid social networks through which collective knowledge circulated. While the works of Chimalpahin, Guaman Poma, Garcilaso de la Vega, and don Fernando de Alva Ixtlilxochitl are relatively well known, this small sample of native and mestizo intellectuals must be expanded considerably to examine works produced through co-authorship arrangements with friars and priests, and to address clandestine works composed exclusively for native audiences by less known, or even anonymous, indigenous scholars.

A's down Giants, win sixth straight
San Francisco, CA – Nate Freiman drove in three runs and the Oakland Athletics earned their sixth straight win, 9-6, over the San Francisco Giants in the opener of a two-game interleague series between cross-bay foes.
Coco Crisp singled, walked, hit a sacrifice fly and scored twice while Yoenis Cespedes added an RBI triple for an Oakland club that has rattled off 11 wins in its last 12 games.
Tommy Milone (5-5) earned the victory despite giving up four runs on eight hits and three walks over five-plus innings.
Hunter Pence and Brett Pill each hit solo homers, while Andres Torres and Marco Scutaro each had two hits and drove in a run for the Giants, who were coming off two losses in Oakland and have dropped five of their last seven overall.
"We just didn't play well. There's no sugarcoating this thing. We pretty much covered all facets of the game tonight as far as not playing well," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Tim Lincecum (3-5), who came in with a 2.17 ERA in nine career starts against the A's, didn't make it out of the fifth inning. The two-time Cy Young Award winner was touched for six runs -- five earned -- on seven hits and four walks over just 4 1/3 frames to take the loss.
The A's, losers in 11 of their last 12 at AT&T Park coming in, were ahead by a 6-1 margin before the Giants pushed three across in the sixth.
Milone was pulled after yielding a homer to Pill and back-to-back singles to open the inning. Brandon Crawford scored on Joaquin Arias' pinch-hit sacrifice fly, and Gregor Blanco raced around on Torres' controversial double.
Torres hit a ball just over the third-base bag and toward the seats. A fan reached over the short fence and touched the ball, which should have been a ground-rule double. Third base umpire Gerry Davis, however, never saw the fan interfere with the ball, and Torres smartly kept running around the bases to cut the Giants' deficit to 6-4.
Oakland tacked on an insurance run in the eighth as Eric Sogard led off with a double, moved to third on a bunt and scored on Crisp's sac fly to left.
The run proved to be the game-winner after Scutaro and Sandoval each had two- out, run-scoring hits off Sean Doolittle in the bottom half.
Jean Machi couldn't keep the Giants close in the ninth. Torres' error in left field allowed Seth Smith to score from first and Freiman added an RBI single with two outs.
Grant Balfour closed the door in the bottom half to pick up his 12th save of the season.
"It was exhausting," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "You get momentum going in the other direction here sometimes and it's hard to stem the tide."
Crisp led off the game with a walk and scored standing up when Blanco played Cespedes' deep fly ball into a triple. Another miscue in the field allowed Cespedes to score, as a back-peddling Scutaro knocked Donaldson's short fly into right field away from a hard-charging Pence.
Pence homered in the second, and Oakland padded its lead with four runs in the fifth.
Crisp again was the catalyst at the top of the lineup, starting the frame with a single and scoring on Jed Lowrie's double to center field. A walk and a single loaded the bases, and John Jaso's RBI single chased Lincecum from the game.
Freiman kept Oakland's momentum going when he greeted Javier Lopez with a pinch-hit, two-run base hit for a 6-1 Oakland lead.
Game Notes
Giants starters have combined for just two quality starts in their last 15 games ... Lincecum has lost five of his last six decisions ... Cespedes extended his hitting streak to 11 games ... Pence homered for the second straight day after going 17 straight games without one ... Balfour has converted each of his last 30 save opportunities dating back to last year ... The Giants stranded 10 runners.

Eat Like a Local: Munich
A vegan restaurant in a former butchery is one of the city's surprises. Beer gardens, sushi bars and modern diners round out the offerings.
Muffathalle Beer Garden Artists, violinists from the nearby concert hall, and families (there's a giant sandbox for kids) all meet up at this open-air, organic restaurant. The traditional Bavarian menu is written out daily on a three-foot chalkboard: meatballs with coleslaw, super-size pretzels, and glasses of Hofbräu beer, of course. Zellstr. 4, 011-49/894-587-5073, entrées from $6.
Zerwirk With its white walls, acid-green benches, and plastic chairs, Zerwirk doesn't look like a former royal butchery--and it doesn't act like one, either. The vegan restaurant, which opened last year, already has a following. The seasonal menu includes a risotto made with radicchio, wine, and caramelized pears. Ledererstr. 3, 011-49/892-323-9195, entrées from $12.
Cosmogrill A diner may not be what comes to mind when you first walk into Cosmogrill--a huge Swarovski chandelier sparkles above shiny white tabletops--but the young chef, Christoph Kiening, makes the city's most delicious burgers. The late-night hangout (closing time is 3 A.M.) is known for its inventive toppings, such as a Tabasco ketchup and a horseradish sour cream. Maximilianstr. 10, 011-49/898-905-9696, burgers from $7.
NoMiYa Cross a sushi bar with a German beer hall and you get NoMiYa, which serves wheat microbrews, plump maki rolls, and tapas-size skewered meats in a tiny space decorated with antlers and Japanese cat sculptures. The owner, Ferdl, adds to the quirky ambience: He's the one in well-worn lederhosen sitting at the bar. Wörthstr. 7, 011-49/894-484-095, rolls from $5.
Nero Pizza The thin crusts at Nero could easily compete with the ones on Rome's best pizzas. Patrons sit at communal tables and share margherita and truffle-cream pies. Rumfordstr. 34, 011-49/892-101-9060, from $10.
Cube Restaurant & Vinolounge Despite the exclusive vibe in the wine lounge--schicki-micki (the "in crowd") sip bubbly at cappuccino-colored booths--the idea behind Cube is that there's something for every budget. You can order chicken satay, spring rolls, and buffalo wings, or splurge on the four-course menu. Bruderstr. 6, 011-49/891-219-1192, entrées from $13.

Sibo Mixes Things Up by Ginny StoneActivity by Ginny Stone | added on May 23, 2011 | South Africa
Sponsor(s): BASF (3000 copies)
A fun story book for young children - written in rhyme - with the topic of chemistry woven into the story line. This book is the 10th in the Sibo Series, published by Lets Look publishers (Pretoria, South Africa). It is now available - visit the website for more details - http://www.sibo.co.
Sibo is a little girl with an unquenchable thirst for new knowledge. "Sibo Mixes Things Up" written by Ginny Stone, is the 10th title in the Sibo Series - published by Lets Look (South Africa). The book celebrates the fact that we are all chemists in our own ways - it introduces children to the subject in a fun, non-threatening way. Sibo makes a mess, tries many things to clean it up before her mom comes home, and eventually finds one product that her neighbour gives her that works. She wants to know why this is. This stimulates an interest in the subject and she goes on to find out more.
On the last page of the book - there is a Periodic Table of Elements and extra information for those who are interested.
BASF kindly funded 3000 copies of this book - via Sci-Enza (University of Pretoria) - to be given out to children during IYC. Sci-Enza has also developed a delightful puppet show, loosely based on the book, to introduce the subject of chemistry to young children in a fun and innovative way (see http://sibosays.blog.com for more info).
The subject of chemistry is only introduced quite late in primary schools in South Africa and essentially this is silly - there is no reason for children not to know about the subject before.
We hope that this book sparks an interest in young children. The great thing is - that after IYC has finished - the book lives on to be read my many more generations of littlies!
Sibo is also out to save the earth - the green message of save water, recycle, reduce, reuse, save electricity is also an ongoing theme throughout all the books. She cannot do it alone - she needs all the childern in the world to help her out.
Many of the books in the Sibo Series have been approved by the SA Dept. of Education as resources for children / teachers.
Please visit the Sibo website for more information - http://www.sibo.co.za

tracyB necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 1026 diseños de 236 diseñadores freelance.
Help create an entire product image suite for a slick new product that lets you watch Hulu, YouTube, etc. on your TV via your PS3, XBOX360, or other device. Already 10,000 folks are beta testing this new software - and the feedback has been overwhelming - help us create the brand that will take it to the next level!
We (MediaMall Technologies, http://www.themediamall.com) have a new consumer product called PlayOn (http://www.getplayon.com). It is software you install on your PC that enables you to watch online videos directly on your television from Hulu, CBS, YouTube, Netflix, and many others, through your PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, HP MediaSmart TV, and a number of other devices and game consoles. In other words, you can watch Hulu and YouTube on your TV, instead of sitting in front of your computer.
We need to make an entire logo and product image suite for PlayOn. This includes everything from a 16x16 icon image for a Windows system tray, 32x32 & 48x48 product application icons, and all the way up to much larger images that can be used for product promotions, commercials, website banners, and of course on our own website: http://www.themediamall.com.
- The logo needs to be able to stand alone small as well as larger, so it's fine if eg. the text "PlayOn" isn't part of the logo while it's a tiny image. So, at some level, there needs to be a graphical representation of "PlayOn" that doesn't necessarily include the text itself.
- The logo doesn't need to "match" our corporate logo/website at all, but it shouldn't "clash" too badly either. That said, we would rather have a cool design than worry too much about matching our MediaMall logo and website. We are not locked into any specific color schemes. We just want to have a cool, recognizable, and brandable look for our PlayOn product.
- We don't want the "Play" to be interpreted as "playing a game" (even though this is targeted primarily to people who own game consoles), but more as "playing videos".
- We don't want the "On" to be interpreted as "on/off", but more as "online".

text: PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- If you resisted the urge to skip out on Thanksgiving dessert or Thursday night's last NFL game to head to Target (TGT), Wal-Mart (WMT) or Toys "R" Us and still haven't hit so much as a Web site today, congratulations: You're one of more than half the U.S. population with better things to do today.Roughly 147 million shoppers say they plan to go pushing and shoving for deals this Black Friday weekend, according to the National Retail Federation. In a promising statement about the future of humanity, that number is down from 152 million last year. Of that 147 million, only 71 million are committed to heading out among the unslept, unwashed masses and doing their holiday shopping under any circumstance. The other 76 million are going to hang back and wait to see exactly what stores are offering before putting themselves in harm's way. While retailers took that as their cue to bombard consumers with circulars, TV ads, Facebook ( FB) posts, tweets, company blog entries, emails and alerts through mobile apps, shoppers took at as their opportunity to decide whether they needed the stress. If you're still undecided about your Black Friday plans, let us make a humble suggestion: Forget the sales. Let the lemmings claw at each other over out-of-date televisions and "deals" they could get just as easily on Cyber Monday, Green Monday, Free Shipping Day or whatever other fabricated retail holiday comes next. There are real deals out there that won't subject you to crowded store aisles, parking lot traffic or forced flash sales and specials. They're not even particularly good items for holiday wish lists, unless you're really into buying holiday gifts for yourself. We looked past the organized riots at America's outlets, malls and big box stores and found five better things to spend your time and money on this Black Friday:

Securing Payments in the Contact Center: Navigating the Regulatory Landscape
May 23 2019
5:00 pm
45 mins
Aaron Lumnah, Senior Manager, Demand Generatio, Semafone
With rates of card-not-present payment fraud continuing to grow higher every year, payment and data security has never been a higher priority for organizations. Protecting customer data is of utmost importance, especially with governments and regulatory bodies increasingly turning their attention to these issues and producing legislation to implore companies to take additional security measures.
Contact centers are a part of the organization particularly fraught with responsibility, processing mountains of payments and finding themselves to be a favorite target for hackers and fraudsters. Because of this, contact centers face a myriad of laws and regulations governing the way they treat this data, such as the PCI DSS for those taking payments, among many others.
Register now to Semafone for an insightful webinar where you'll learn:
- The top data security regulations, laws, and standards bodies affecting contact center data governance
- How to comply with sometimes competing regulatory requirements and resolve conflicting stipulations
- How to achieve compliance more simply and cost effectively
Presenter: Aaron Lumnah, Senior Manager, Demand Generation
Aaron is a member of the Semafone marketing team, where he regularly contributes to the Semafone blog and authors many types of content around payment security, PCI DSS, and GDPR compliance. He enjoys providing IT practitioners with helpful insights that help them solve problems.

Cross-Border Payment Compliance: Biggest Challenge for Enterprises Going Global
May 22 2019

Yair Tal, SVP Enterprise, Payoneer
Effectively managing cross-border payment compliance is one of the biggest challenges facing enterprises looking to expand globally.
Sending payments internationally requires adherence to multiple, often complex, payment regulations in both the originating country and the country in which the funds land.
Regulation continues to tighten and failure to comply brings significant costs ranging from failed payments and reputational damage to crippling fines and in severe cases, legal prosecution.
Yair will discuss the biggest compliance risks in the markets with the greatest opportunities (e.g., China, Russia), and offer insights on how to effectively leverage user behavior data to identify bad behaviors.

Panel Discussion: 3 Game-Changing Innovation Models in Financial Services Today
Apr 4 2019
1:00 pm
60 mins
Pat Patel, Money20/20 | Drew Graham, Standard Chartered Bank | Megan Caywood, Starling Bank
Innovation has quickly become an overused and distorted word. At Money20/20 Europe expect to cut through the hype, explore what measurements we can use to benchmark innovation and get to the heart of sustainable and commercial step change. A key question which has moved back up the C-Level agenda of established; banks, tech companies and payments companies is:
"How can incumbents deliver meaningful game-changing innovation?"
There are three options available for incumbents, and at Money20/20 Europe we'll be developing deeper into each one:
1. Can organisations transform their cultures to execute true innovation internally within their organisations? (cultural transformation)
2. Perhaps tech transformation is the way forward, partnering or acquisitions to do so?
3. Or do they need to achieve business model transformation by building something entirely new outside of the organisation?
These options are being heavily debated in boardrooms throughout Europe, with a number of high profile banks recently announcing plans to build brand new subsidiaries. Some of the traditional banks, payments and tech companies are pursuing a few or all of the options while others are sitting on the fence. Which is most effective and why? What are the dynamics at play that determine success for different types of companies? Hear from the leading companies in our industry as they share their incisive insight on the successes but also the failures and the lessons learned.

How women can prepare for financial risk (and take control)
Apr 3 2019
3:00 pm
60 mins
Jana Hlistova, Founder, The Purse Ltd.
Women are exposed to more financial risk over the course of their life.
We have a different life trajectory compared to men which exposes us to more financial shock. Women not only have more career interruptions, we work in part-time, temporary or insecure employment and live longer than our male partner.
Despite this women are less engaged when it comes to money and tend to save less and invest less. However report after report states that women want to learn more about money and investing.
So what is going on? And how can women take control of their financial future?
This webinar will outline how women can start to engage around money and what we need to do to build financial resilience. The aim is for the 'money conversation' to become accessible, fun and inspiring. At the same time we want to support women in having courage, clarity and confidence when it comes to money and investing.
The Purse is dedicated to empowering women financially so they can build the life of their dreams. We provide coaching, training, a community and tools so we can all support, learn and grow together.

Wayne Murphy, Senior Security Consultant (QSA), Sec-1 Ltd.; Ben Rafferty, Chief Innovation Officer, Semafone
Over the last seven years, the technologies used by call and contact centers to communicate with customers and complete card transactions have changed drastically. Networking methodologies like VoIP have since become widely adopted, while the number of applications organizations employ to process customer information has risen dramatically. For this reason, the PCI SSC recently released their highly anticipated updated "Guidance for Protecting Telephone-Based Card Payments" for the first time since 2011, offering several much-needed clarifications for organizations looking to achieve PCI DSS compliance inside their contact centers.
Join Semafone and Sec-1 Ltd. for this insightful webinar into the most pertinent changes, featuring two of the members of the PCI SSC's Special Interest Group – Ben Rafferty, Chief Innovation Officer at Semafone, and Wayne Murphy, Senior Security Consultant at Sec-1 Ltd. We'll cover the following:

• How Pause and Resume call recording solutions create more problems than they solve
• How most 3rd party services are now in scope for PCI DSS compliance
• How devices that control SIP Redirection are now also in scope

The Glenwood Community School District unveiled its new busing plan on Monday.
A group of students from the Nebraska Indian Community College were in Glenwood last week to tour the Mills County Historical Museum and to get an up-close and personal look at the Native American Earth Lodge.
Professor Wynema Morris and her Omaha Tribal History class students visited the museum as a fact-finding mission. Morris and her class hope to build an earth lodge of their own this summer.
Laura Millar, once she gets going, can't sit still very long. She snaps her fingers, bounces slightly in her seat and travels between the vending machine containing small toys and the dining table. She loves sports.
"In the summer I like to swim," said the 9-year-old with curly red hair and a big smile. "Sometimes in winter I play hallway soccer."
Friday night, Pacific Junction and western Mills County will be rockin' like never before.
That's because the ninth annual River Riot concert is coming to the Mid-America Motorplex. The concert, staged by The River 89.7 radio station at Iowa Western Community College, is expected to attract a crowd of 18,000.
May 1 – Jeffrey Anderson of Malvern reported a burglary.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 28, 2013) - First Quantum Minerals Ltd. ("First Quantum" or the "Company") (TSX:FM)(LSE:FQM) is pleased to extend an invitation to all Inmet shareholders to participate in a webcast outlining our vision to create a new leader in global copper.
The webcast will be held on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 12:30 PM EST. The webcast and presentation materials will be available on the Company's website www.first-quantum.com.
About First Quantum
First Quantum is a leading international mining company with a global portfolio of copper and nickel assets located in Africa, Australia, South America and Europe. For the twelve months ended 30 September 2012, First Quantum generated revenue and adjusted EBITDA of US$2,743 million and US$1,014 million respectively and produced 290 kt of copper, 32 kt of nickel and 181 koz of gold. A diverse portfolio of profitable operating assets and quality growth projects makes First Quantum one of the fastest-growing mining companies in the world. First Quantum expects that its final production numbers for 2012 will reflect 270 - 290 kt of copper and 36 - 40 kt of nickel produced. First Quantum is listed on the Toronto, London and Lusaka Stock Exchanges, with a market capitalization of approximately US$10.5 billion.
First Quantum has earned a strong reputation as an industry leading developer of high-quality base metals projects globally. Although a significant copper producer currently, First Quantum is itself in a phase of transformational growth, with an anticipated tripling of copper production by the end of 2018. To achieve this growth, the First Quantum team is building on its significant experience in project development, with a proven record of successfully developing resource assets. The capital intensity of our Kansanshi and Sentinel developments, for example, at approximately US$5,000 / tonne and US$6,000 / tonne, respectively, are among the lowest in the industry. Importantly, First Quantum has consistently delivered superior shareholder returns, averaging 32 percent per annum over the period 2000 to 2011.

Mount Sinai Medical Center
New York, NY
Mount Sinai Medical Center was founded way back in 1852. Over the years, the medical center has been consistently ranked as one of the nation's top hospitals, as decided by US News and World Report. Mount Sinai has been a leader in healthcare since its doors opened. It was the first to describe many disorders such as Libman-Sacks Disease and Tay-Saches Disease; it had the first department of geriatrics and adult development in a US medical school; and was the first hospital to point out that blood groups are hereditary.
Mount Sinai has over 1500 beds, 1800 nurses, and has spent $76.7 million in uncompensated care. Their school of medicine is also one of the best in the country, with 1700 full-time faculty and 1800 voluntary faculty. Mount Sinai has 22 affiliated facilities across New York state, creating a web of patient care for their many visitors.
Mount Sinai has over 700 open positions, from administrative assistants to ultrasound technicians. Many of these positions are located at Mount Sinai-affiliated facilities across New York, so no matter where you live, there may be a position waiting for you.

Thursday, June 4, 2009
Long term, team players needed, for challenging, permanent work in an often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities!
Extensive courier duties also required.
- The rest of your life.
- Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily until someone needs $5.
- Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly.
- Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.
- Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers.
- Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects.
- Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks.
- Must be a willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next.
- Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices.
- Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
- Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product.
- Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.
None required unfortunately.
Get this - You pay them!
Offering frequent raises and bonuses.
A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent.
When you die, you give them whatever is left.
The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.
While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth, unconditional love, and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right.

Just for laughs
An Amish boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.
The boy asked, 'What is this Father?'
The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, 'Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is.'
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, an old and wart-covered woman hobbled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the woman hobbled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.
Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous, twenty-something bombshell beauty stepped out.
The father said quietly to his son, 'Go get your mother.'

To make up for yesterday's terribly chauvinistic post
I thought these "words to live by" would do the trick!
If you missed yesterday's post, click here.
- When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.
- Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality.
- I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.
- Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.
- Don't get your knickers in a knot; it solves nothing and makes you walk funny.
- Keep your chin up, only the first 40 years of parenthood are hard.
- If it has tires or testicles, it's gonna give you trouble.
- By the time a woman realizes her mother was right, she has a daughter who thinks she's wrong.

In order to attract the man of your dreams, Custom Tailored Suits For Men in Florida it helps to dress in a way that honors your beautiful body. When I use the word "honor," I don't mean you should dress like a nun or hide yourself in an ankle-length skirt and a turtleneck.
But you should wear only clothes that make the best of your unique
shape. Too many fleshy women (and there are lots of men who prefer robust
females over skimpier lasses) are currently wandering the planet in
low-rise jeans and tank tops, Made To Measure Suit Companies which results in a phenomenon known as
"muffin top." In other words, they're walking around with a wedge of flab
over their waistbands. Not a good look.
Before you hop on whatever trend they're pushing in InStyle magazine,
ask yourself if the look works for you and your beautiful body. I once
read an interview with the actress Sela Ward, Made To Measure Men's Suits Uk in which she said she
chooses clothes to show off her amazing flat stomach but avoids items that expose her flabby thighs. You see, nobody's perfect!
"Wuthering Heights," I said.
"Really?" he asked. "I just finished Jane Eyre."
And so began a little romance.
What Did Men Wear in the 1920s?
Still bewildered, I told my male friend B. this story years later. I
didn't understand why this Adonis chose Glow-in-the-Dark Terry over the
dark lovelies in bikinis.
"I understand completely," B. responded. "The beach was crawling with
girls in bikinis, and you presented something else. A little mystery."
"In a pair of Levis?"
"Yeah," he said. "The guy probably thought, this girl is different. I
want to talk to her."
Does this mean you should throw away your bikini? Heck, no, especially
if you look good in it. But the point is, be true to yourself. Dress to
make the very best of your unique and beautiful body.
You'll attract men who are looking for someone special for a change.
Custom Tailored Suits For Men in Florida ?
The term "cocktail party" can mean more than just one thing in our society, so it may leave men scratching their heads in wonder when deciding how to dress for one. It is said that cocktail parties first started during the 1920s, during Prohibition. Because drinking was banned in restaurants, hotels and bars, it was an activity that was only practiced in the privacy and secrecy of private homes. People began to throw these parties so that adults could drink behind closed doors, and they morphed into increasingly high profile events. By the 1930s, men's cocktail attire became stylish and fashionable, although not quite as formal as traditional evening wear.
Today, the same basic rules apply. It is not quite as dressy as formal evening apparel, but it is still a look that is polished, semi-formal and refined. If you received an invitation by phone or email, it is likely to be a slightly more casual event. Conversely, if you received a mailed invitation and the cocktail party is related to a wedding rehearsal dinner or a holiday, it is likely to be a little more formal.
If you wish to go without a tie, it is acceptable to do so. However, make sure to add another element of interest to your outfit. For example, try a dress shirt with a wide spread collar underneath a black blazer. Or, you can even wear a fine weave silk or cashmere sweater underneath your blazer. Remember, cocktail attire should be refined and sophisticated, but not without fun and interest. The main goal of a cocktail party is to socialize and meet new people, so focus on assembling a wardrobe that allows you to look polished but also approachable.
Why Do Men Like to Wear Lingerie: Understanding Men's Motivations
Most style conscious individuals who are well acquainted with the purchase of men's suits will quickly agree that the wool suit, especially Italian wool, is the zenith of men's clothing. If you are relatively new to selecting men's suits, you may be wondering why. What are the benefits of wool? Here's the breakdown of the fabric that has become the most favoured among men's suits.
Non-Wool Fabrics
Before we can determine the benefits of wool for men's suits, let's take a look at other fabrics and what they offer.
Linens- Men's suits made from linen are generally used for summer. Linen is lightweight and considered to be very stylish. On the downside, linen wrinkles and stains very easily. Linen is also a poor choice for travel, since you'll need to have this fabric pressed upon arriving at your destination.
Polyester- Cost conscious men can find a good deal with a polyester or a poly-wool blend suit. Polyester is a wrinkle free, easy to clean choice, but this fabric doesn't breathe well.
A Word About Wool Blends
Even when blended with other materials, wool still maintains many of its advantages. Keep in mind, the blended fabrics may change some of the make-up of the suit, though. It may be less dirt resistant with the addition of another type of fabric. The cost of the suit may also be less with a wool blend.
When choosing the perfect men's suit for you, careful consideration of the fabric is essential. Wool, especially Italian wool, will provide you with the finest quality and clear benefits over other fabric options.
