It was seven years ago that Catalina Bolivar and her grandmother went next door to Avenue 50 Studio and asked about enrolling the girl in drawing classes at the Highland Park art space. Curator Cathy Gallegos wanted to help but only had drawing classes for adults. "So I gave her some of my art supplies – colored pencils, paper," Gallegos said. "That was it, I sent her on her way with her grandmother. I didn't see her for another six years."
Last year Bolivar worked up the courage to ask about helping out at the gallery, which she's lived next door to all her life. Now, 15-year-old Bolivar is a constant fixture in the Highland Park art space and is apprenticing with artists Heriberto Luna and Pola Lopez in the 2 Tracks Studio located in the same building.
When I asked Bolivar why it took so long to come back to the gallery, she said it might have to do with an art club that she joined at her high school. It might just be that she's now realizing how big a role art plays in her life. "I'm meeting so many people interested in art. I wouldn't have known to ask before," says Bolivar.
On a recent evening at 2 Tracks Studio, Bolivar, surrounded by colorful hummingbirds painted on inky backdrops by one of her mentors, looks nervous. Dozens of people mill about the gallery next door during an event. "I'm an artist too, yeah, sure," Bolivar says matter of fact, shrugging her shoulders.
But don't let Bolivar's teenage blasé fool you. "She's just starting to get used to the fact that people are going to pay attention to her and her art now," says Luna of the young apprentice.
"Catalina is so talented, and at such a young age," says Luna amid his hummingbird paintings. "My one fear is that it'll go to her head. But here, at the studio, we can make sure that she does her homework first and then maybe some art." From behind her canvas Lopez says, "We want to show her that art is always going to be there. We're going to make sure that the gallery space is important to her, and hopefully it will be here when she starts to branch out with her own work."
As an apprentice Bolivar has made herself at home. She knows exactly what she wants to do with her time at the studio, Luna even allows her to touch up some smaller details on his paintings. Now she is going to paint a mural for the gallery somewhere in Highland Park after winning a contest. Lopez and Luna speak about her future in the art world as something that's set in stone.
Bolivar's parents are also supportive, up to a certain point.
"My father loves my drawings, I mean, of course he does. He's my dad. But he also wants me to go to school for psychology. I think I'll do both – art and psychology. That way I can have something to fall back on."
Bolivar quickly adds, "I'll still be an artist."
Avenue 50 Studio's 6th Semi-Annual Fundraiser and Art Auction is Sunday, Sept. 29 at the Pico House.

Smart Boards Make Chalk Obsolete
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Misc. Tech,
Electronic boards in the classrooms are becoming more popular now. Using fingers as a stylus, teachers and students are able to share assignments, surf the web, and view video all where chalkboards used to rule. Most classrooms today use a whiteboard and a projection screen for any of the fun computer stuff. Are these new boards really a great thing? In my experience, many professors prefer to ditch the projector in favor of the whiteboard since it allows them to write and draw their thoughts faster.

Heat is a computer's sworn enemy. We have all battled against this element, trying to pump out every last frame out of our PC's for an eternity. Now, this case modder took his fight a little too far. While most of us have about two, four, maybe six case fans, his case is comprised entirely of 80 cm fans. In theory, you would think this design would freeze your CPU, however, the difference is not much. That leaves us asking - what's the point? Check out the pictures and guide on his personal web page.

NYKO iTop Review
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Features, Portable Audio / Video, Product Reviews,
Third party accessories for any product are mostly, by default, pretty bad in my opinion. Usually it feels like companies are trying to piggyback on the success of the popularity of the products that manufacturers work hard to come up with and market. That being said, Nyko has recently brought the iTop to the table. The draw here is that you can relocate the iPod's functions to the top of the unit so that you don't need to take it out of your pocket to access the click wheel. How does it work? Check out the full review after the jump.

How to Quickly Gain Traffic to Your New Web Site
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Marketing,
The problem with a new site is that it often takes a long time before it is indexed by the search engines. This means you are missing out on getting traffic and making sales. Google places new sites in the "sandbox" which means they are on "hold" for a period of time before they rank.

Microsoft Sets Sights On iTunes
Posted by Kristin Wenzel Categories: Corporate News, Portable Audio / Video,
Does Microsoft even know what they are up against? It's as if they still consider Apple to be a "garage based" company in some kid's basement. iTunes isn't exactly some garage-based idea. It's a big chunk of the legal music download industry. Is the Goliath of the software industry taking the wrong approach?
Microsoft is planning to bolster its own online song store with a new subscription service later this year as well as is "considering a more direct attack on Apple, seeking rights from copyright holders to give subscribers a Microsoft-formatted version of any song purchased from iTunes so they can be played on devices other than an iPod…

New SCUBA Technology: Breathe Like a Fish
Posted by Kristin Wenzel Categories: Misc. Tech,
No, it won't give you gills, but a new breakthrough in SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) technology could allow divers to ditch heavy compressed air tanks and bulky breathing apparatus in favor of a lightweight, less-obtrusive setup inspired by Mother Nature.
Fish "breathe" by using the dissolved oxygen in water, and until recently the best approximation that us land-lubbers could come up with was separating oxygen from water using electrolysis, which is extremely energy consumptive and not usable by all but the largest nuclear submarines and the International Space Station. However, an Israeli inventor's vision and application of "Henry's Law" which governs the behaviors of dissolved gases in liquid, has captured the attention of major diving companies and the Israeli military.
[Henry's law] states that the amount of gas that can be dissolved in a liquid body is proportional to the pressure on the liquid body. The law works in both directions – lowering the pressure will release more gas out of the liquid. This is done by a centrifuge which rotates rapidly thus creating under pressure inside a small sealed chamber containing sea water. The system will be powered by rechargeable batteries. Calculations showed that a one kilo Lithium battery can provide a diver with about one hour of diving time.
This could be promising new technology to keep an eye on, for diving enthusiasts and science/technology enthusiasts alike.

Tattie scones recipe to mark The Bard's 253rd birth anniversary
Scots across the world (both true and honorary, like me) are celebrating Rabbie Burns' aka The Bards 253rd birth anniversary today. I've already ordered a sheep's pluck and will be making my own haggis over the weekend (yay! for the first time!), but today I made something less exotic - tattie scones. Tattie scones or potato pancakes are the Scottish equivalent of Jewish latkes and Norwegian lefses, and one of my fondest breakfast memories from Scotland (those of you who are new to Nami-Nami and are wondering about the Scottish connection: I spent seven years studying and working in the beautiful capital of Scotland, Edinburgh, returning to my dear homeland in October 2006. That definitely makes me an honorary Scotswoman, I think :)).
Tattie scones are brilliantly easy to make. You can use freshly boiled potatoes, leftover potato mash or even cold cooked potatoes. I've tried them all; the ones I made earlier today were from cold boiled potatoes ('tatties' in Scottish).
Tattie Scones
(Šoti kartulipannkoogid)
Serves two to four
250 g (cooked) potatoes
25 g (about 2 Tbsp) butter
60 g (100 ml or 7 level Tbsp) all-purpose flour
0.5 tsp fine salt
0.25 tsp baking powder
oil or butter for frying
If you're using uncooked potatoes, then peel and cut into chunks, then boil in lightly salted water until done. Drain thoroughly, then mash and mix with rest of the ingredients.
If you're using cooked cold potatoes, then grate them finely, knead in the softened butter and then add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. The dough should be soft and pliable.
Divide into two and form each into a round disk. Working with one dough disc at the time, roll it on a lightly floured surface into a flat pancake, about 5-7 mm thick. Cut into sectors (I usually cut into four large sectors or 6 to 8 smaller ones).
Heat a heavy frying pan to medium-hot, add some oil or butter. Transfer the tattie scones onto the frying pan and gently fry on both sides, until golden brown spots form (that'll take about 3 minutes on both sides, depending on your frying pan and on the thickness of the scones).
Transfer onto a wire rack to cool. Serve with some butter (traditional) or some herb cream cheese (on the photo).

Tasty! Thanks for the recipe, too - had always vaguely wondered how to make them, and now I know. :)

Aww, that's nice! Your tattie scones look amazing although we are greedy and prefer ours thicker. For M and I they are an essential component (along with a fried egg) to any camping trip up north. We will think of you over our haggis tonight (veggie for me of course).

Dr P, you are BOTH a 'true' AND and an ' honorary' Scot. (and we'll wangle you, K and the kids dual citizenship after the referendum is out the way!). Home made haggis? Yummmmmmm!!!

I'm Kat from the Philippines. i just tried your tattie scone recipe hours earlier (a dinner starter) and it was delicious. I hope you don't mind that I used yellow sweet potato instead (that's the only one available, I was craving and picked the nearest cooked potato I could find).
Much love,

Catherine, that's so sweet - thank you for letting me know :) I had some leftover mashed potato from Saturday, and made tattie scones for lunch on Sunday :)

In 1913 Elisa and Eduardo Cansino emigrated from Spain to the USA. Eduardo, 17, and his 19-year-old sister were extraordinarily talented dancers, calling themselves the Dancing Cansinos. They were featured in 1916's Broadway musical "Follow Me." During this show Eduardo met and married Volga Hayworth. On Oct. 17, 1918 their daughter Margarita was born. Sons Eduardo Jr. and Vernon followed within three years.
Little Margarita began dance training at age 4.
In 1926 Warner Brothers hired the Dancing Cansinos to perform in a movie. Encouraged, Eduardo decided to move his family to Hollywood. But Elisa refused to move, thereby breaking up the dancing duo. Eduardo's poor English, though, destroyed his value in the new talkies. He rallied by opening a dance school.
In 1931 Eduardo resurrected the Dancing Cansinos act, using his daughter as his partner. At age 12, Margarita became an important part of the family's finances.
Prohibition had resulted in evasions by the public in getting access to alcohol. For instance, casinos were run on ships anchored outside of the three-mile limit from the California coast.
The Dancing Cansinos became regularly employed on these floating casinos. Eduardo pulled Margarita out of school, lied about her age and passed her off as his wife during the performances.
Margarita's life was miserable. Her mother had become an alcoholic. Her father became drunk at the shows and gambled away their earnings. He made Margarita fish for the family's food between performances. If at any time Margarita displeased him, Eduardo beat her, making sure her bruises would not be visible to an audience.
The Foreign Club, Tijuana's popular night spot, engaged the Dancing Cansinos and the family moved to Chula Vista, where there was only a 20-minute commute to the border. In 1933 they lived at 319 First Ave. (now Fifth Avenue).
Eduardo taught Margarita to be sexually provocative during her performances. After the gig with the Foreign Club ended, the Cansinos moved back to Hollywood, and Eduardo became a director of dance for films. A reengagement in Tijuana brought the Cansinos back to live in Chula Vista.
Shy, mysterious Margarita became an object of curiosity to the neighborhood children, and they observed things their parents never knew about.
Loretta Parkin and her brother were playmates with Margarita's brothers, but "strange, silent Margarita never joined their games, although she often sat on the front porch staring silently ahead…" Parkin recalled in a book about Hayworth.
"I felt sorry for her because all her recreation was just sitting on the front porch. That was all she did. For Rita there was no life, no school, no friends, no girlfriends. She was never allowed any of these things. Just sitting, sitting, sitting," Parkin said.
But in the evenings, Margarita became a fiery and erotic stage presence at Agua Caliente, and after performances, the Cansinos would be invited to the tables of "Hollywood big-wigs." She caught their interest. In 1935 at age 16, Margarita performed a "decidedly sensuous dance sequence set on a gambling ship" in the movie "Dante's Inferno." Early that year the family moved back to Hollywood. Thus began, on Feb. 11, the illustrious screen career of the gorgeous, and now renamed, Rita Hayworth.

Forget the Oscars, we've got the Steves! Okay, so we're not really calling them the Steves -- they're the TiPb Readers' Choice Awards, and while they won't let you watch Wolverine sing and dance, they won't consume 4+ hours of your life either. And hey, who needs best picture when we have best fart app? (No, don't worry, that's not an actual category -- this year!)
Right after New Year, and the TiPb Editors' Choice Awards, we began something far more important -- YOUR choices. We opened the forums up to nomination, and when we had our nominees, we let you have at the voting. And vote you did, rocketing your favorites to the very tops of the charts.
Well now the votes have been counted, the results are in, and TiPb is honored to present our Readers' Choice Awards...
Favorite iPhone OS 2.x Feature
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, than even Palm, Nokia, Microsoft, and RIM are complimenting the heck out of TiPb's Readers' Choice Award for favorite iPhone OS 2.x feature. And was there ever really any doubt?
Before the App Store, installing mobile software meant hunting it down on the web, downloading install files, figuring out how to move the files over to to your device, then trying to get them to load and run. The iPhone App Store, introduced on July 11, 2008, changed that forever. Not only did Apple provide a robust SDK that allowed developers to get up to speed quickly, but the iTunes engine meant they could sell their Apps to people in every country Apple had already set up for music. And for users? One button, right there on their iPhone home screen, suddenly became a drop-dead easy way to browse, select, and install apps with almost no fuss and definitely no muss.
Apple still needs to clarify their rejection policies, figure out how to offer demos, and immensely improve discoverability, but niggles aside, our TiPb Editors' Choice for most innovative is also our TiPb Readers' choice for favorite new iPhone feature.
Runner up: 3G radio support
Biggest iPhone FAIL
What's success if it can't be measured against failure? Everyone, even Apple, has finite resources, and every man/hour they devote to greatness like the App Store is another man/hour they can't devote to other features. Even features so commonplace it boggles the brain that Apple hasn't figured out their usual elegant, simple, solution already. And for certain features, their absence is so commonplace now, so brain-boggling still, they have passed beyond grievance and attained the level of running joke. Stale running joke. That brings us to the TiPb Readers' Choice for biggest iPhone FAIL:
Cut/copy and paste is primary editing. Moving text, be it a name, number, note, or URL, is not something everyone will need every day, but something everyone will really need at some point, and the iPhone still doesn't have it. Whether Steve Jobs doesn't think his engineers have nailed it yet, or if they aren't even trying, we don't know -- but we do care. We hear about it, read about it, and talk about it nearly all the time. We just can cut it out and paste it anywhere. That's why cut/copy and paste is TiPb Readers' Choice for biggest iPhone FAIL!
Runner up: Push Notification Services MIA
Biggest iPhone FIGHT
You don't make an omelette without scrambling a few omes. Or something like that. And you certainly don't introduce a widescreen ipod, breakthrough internet device, and revolutionary phone without making some big time enemies, especially if those enemies are established smartphone makers who sat on their profits for years with nothing even remotely innovative in the works. Maybe that's why the iPhone gets into so many fights (or maybe it's just Steve?). And maybe that's what helped TiPb's readers choose their iPhone fight of the year.
Was it RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis saying all he heard from the iPhone was talk? That it sacrificed features for aesthetics? That the iPhone's 3G connectivity problems, and not shoddy firmware from RIM, might have caused a delay in the Bold's release? That he couldn't type on glass and none of his friends could either? (Maybe that explains the Storm?) Was it iCloning not only the phone, not only the App Store, but the entire SDK event? Was it CrackBerry Kevin calling it the "Ah frak" phone during his round robin review?
Yes. For all those reasons, and more, the iPhone vs. BlackBerry is TiPb Readers' Choice for biggest iPhone FIGHT.
Runner up: iPhone vs. Palm Pre patent lawsuit
Favorite iPhone Game App
If the iPod touch is the funnest iPod ever, the iPhone must certainly be the... funnerest? Either way, Apple has poured an uncharacteristic amount of time (and money) into advertising both devices as mobile gaming godsends. From casual puzzlers to first-person shooters to arcade-style action'eers, a huge swathe of the 20,000 apps (and growing!) in the iTunes App Store -- and on the top 25 lists -- are games, and TiPb readers have a favorite even if only by a narrow margin...
Asphalt 4: Elite Racing (iTunes Link) is no stranger to TiPb readers. It out drove and out lasted 5 other racing games to win our inaugural GRAND PRIX review series, becoming our first champion. Combining great multitouch gameplay, accelerometer control, and awesome OpenGL graphics, it was one of the earliest racers available on the iPhone, and is clearly still TiPb Readers' Choice for favorite game!
Runners up: Enigmo and Fieldrunners (tie) (iTunes links)
Favorite iPhone Productivity App
Apple, in their infinitely looped wisdom, chose not to build a to-do or task manager into the iPhone, and while Steve Jobs showed off note-syncing during the iPhone's debut, it has still failed to materialize. Luckily for getting things done'rs, Apple did provide the App Store, which has since given us all manner of 3rd party productivity apps, from the famous and established to the new and novel. Absent a full blown Office-compatible document editor, it was these two titanic categories which battled it out among TiPb readers' for favorite productivity app.
And again, we see a familiar name: our Back to Business task runner-up, and our Forum Review Todo App showdown winner Appigo Todo (iTunes link) pulls the three-peat. With its pro feature set and fair price, it just works for us, helping us keep track of what needs to be done, and letting us customize the way we want to do it. For those reasons above all, it's TiPb's Readers' Choice for favorite productivity app.
Runner up: Evernote (iTunes link)
Favorite iPhone Social Networking App & Favorite WebApp
What are you doing? Sounds like a simple question, doesn't it? And that's the genius of it. Whether it's status in a full blown network, a 140-character micro-blog, or an message sent instantly to someone... anywhere, the beloved series of tubes we've come to call the internet has woven us closer and more connected than ever before. And with the iPhone being the first real breakthrough internet device, it's no surprise TiPb Readers have chosen a favorite social networking app... and chosen the web version as favorite WebApp as well!
If social networking is the latest big thing, the latest big thing in social networking is Facebook (iTunes link). Friendster who? MySpace what? Exactly. What began as a small university network now has more users than their own terms of service has egregious content-swiping clauses. (Sorry, couldn't resist). While some might argue that even version 2.0 of the iPhone Facebook App doesn't quite compare to the Facebook WebApp, no one can argue with how many people are writing on walls, commenting on photos, joining fringe protest groups, and adding enough widgets to crash MobileSafari day in, day out, right from the comfort of their iPhones. That's why Facebook is TiPb Readers' Choice for favorite social networking app AND favorite WebApp.
Runner up: Tweetie (Social network app) (iTunes link).
Favorite Jailbreak App
The iPhone wasn't meant for the crazy ones, the rebels, the pirates. Apple locked it down tighter than Steve Jobs' press department. Fortunately, along came the hackers who broke the root out of Apple's jail, and set loose not only the first application development for the platform, but still the only one that really lets you do almost anything you want with your iPhone -- you know, like cut/copy and paste and run background IM...
Perhaps counter-intuitively, however, it's not either of those, not a carrier-unlock, not even a video recorder that's TiPb's favorite iPhone Jailbreak app. It's something far more simple, and perhaps that's what makes it so important. Choice. Toggle things on and off. Set them higher or lower. Control what's going on, on your phone, with far greater granularity than Apple currently allows. That's all it took to make SBSettings TiPb Readers' Choice for favorite iPhone Jailbreak app.
Runner up: WinterBoard
Favorite iPhone Case
Confession: I rock my iPhone commando style. Nothing gets between me and it -- at the risk of nothing getting between the concrete and it either, if I'm ever extra clumsy. Smarter people than I, therefore, prefer to protect their investments with anything and everything ranging from ultra-thin shrink wrap to silicone bodysuits to leather pouches to pretty much full blown armor. Out of so many choices, how could TiPb Readers choose a favorite iPhone case? Silly questions -- how couldn't they?
Perhaps not surprisingly, TiPb's Editors' choice, was also our Readers' Choice as well. Protection of a hard case with a pull off bottom for easy docking, the Seidio Innocase II (store link) takes honors all around.
Runner up: Griffin Elan Form
Favorite iPhone Bluetooth Headset
More and more cities are passing hands-free phone laws for driver. Touch that dial, and you'll be getting a ticket for your trouble. Any wonder interest in Bluetooth is soaring? In the ear, around the ear, and on-the-dash speakers, there's a type to match any need (well, except for stereo... but this isn't the fail section, is it?) Which one was our TiPb Readers' choice for favorite Bluetooth headset?
Again, our readers' choice matched our editors', and the Jawbone 2 (store link), while not the smallest, is still one of the most distinctive and remains tops for noise reduction. Part function, part fashion, the Jawbone 2 was TiPb Readers' choice for favorite Bluetooth headset.
Runner up: Blueant Z9i
See You Next Year!
That's it for the inaugural TiPb Readers' Choice Award. Thanks to all our readers for voting and making your voices heard. Congratulations to all our favorites, we look forward to seeing what you -- and your competition -- has in store for us next year!
And if your favorite didn't get the most votes, fret not. That's what the comments are for. Light 'em up!

Charities turn to text to tackle gangs
SMS 4 lyfe
Posted in Policy, 3rd August 2007 10:04 GMT
Two organisations in Southwark are launching an SMS service designed to help people in gangs or those affected by gang crime.
Launched in response to community concerns about gang crime and violence, the Gangs Advice Training and Exit Strategy (GATES) project will provide two free services, a text alert service and a telephone advice line.
A joint initiative between Victim Support Southwark and youth agency Kickstart, the scheme will kick off in earnest over the first weekend of August 2007 after a soft launch at the end of July.
Pat Green, borough director at Victim Support Southwark told GC News on 2 August 2007: "The text service aims to inform young people about events that are going on in the community, while the advice line gives people information about youth services available in the borough."
Subscribers will receive two free texts a week, which could be in the form of an alert, a poll, or a competition. Examples of alerts might include:
- Kickstart Youth Inclusion programme is providing free sports training for young people aged 16-24. Call...
- After the recent shooting a community meeting will be held at...
Meanwhile, surveys might include questions such as: "If you owned a gun and Southwark ran a gun amnesty would you deposit your gun?" and "Do you feel safe in Southwark?"
According to Green, the polls facility will also help agencies gauge what the "temperature" is like among young people in terms of these issues, while also making the service a two-way communication tool.
Running alongside the text service, a free advice line will provide information and guidance to people who are concerned about gang activity or who have fallen into the wrong crowd and do not how to break free. People wishing to remain anonymous can do so, as the services do not require users to give their name or address.
Abi Goodwin of Kickstart said: "The GATES service will not only provide advice on leaving a gang and crime prevention, it will also highlight free sports and social programmes that young people can get involved with.
"However, the GATES services are designed to help the whole community, from young people in gangs to all those affected by gang crime, including family members, local residents, teachers and community leaders."
Anita Reid, serious and violent crime caseworker at Victim Support Southwark, added: "Recent events in London have caused a growing concern about gang crime in the local community. The text alert service will allow them to receive and retain information that can help them avoid and escape gang crime."

House of Leaves
House of Leaves is actually two stories in one. The first story is called The Navidson Record, which, stylistically, is an academic paper devoting itself to a general analysis of the (fictional, even within the book) much-debated documentary, The Navidson Record. The Navidson Record is about a family, led by photojournalist Will Navidson and his life partner, Karen Green, who moves into a house in Virginia. Will and Karen hope to re-invigorate ...

Only Revolutions tells the story of two kids, Hailey and Sam, who are sixteen years old and do not age. Their stream-of-consciousness narratives, although seemingly taking place at the same time, actually occur 100 years apart from one another's. They still tell the same stories though - they talk about meeting each other for the first time and embarking on a years-long cross-country tour. Along the way they meet the enigmatic Creep, a shady vil...

We are masters of collaboration, working with groups, and bringing people to consensus.
- We have facilitated and supported ongoing working groups of people in management and operational roles across the country, using in person meetings and via conferencing, supported by online document sharing, website action registers, e-mail discussion lists, and other mechanisms.
- We have assembled panels of industy experts to identify best practices, develop positions, and formulate approaches, including development of a major transformational policy proposal for a National Employment Investment Policy. We shared documents online.
- We have assembled groups of facilitators with domain specialties such as acquisition / procurement and healthcare, for diverse groups of participants.
- We have planned and facilitated a Beneficiary Summit representing diversity of age, race, gender, and disability from every state and territory, and brought them to consensus on their recommendations to Congress, the Social Security Administration. We used online action planning tools as well as conferencing.
- We planned the first JoomlaDay in the Washington, DC area, working with a group of Joomla! experts who for the most part had not planned such a conference before. We used collaboration tools such as Google Docs and Project Fork to share planning documents and milestones in real time and virtual space. We used Google Forms to virtually instantaneously develop and share a survey of participants, collecting their responses into a Google Docs spreadsheet we shared.
Facilitation is the art of tapping into the knowledge and experience that clients already have, and working with them to help them achieve their objectives. We clarify the strategic intent, and then specifically design both the process and the agenda to achieve the objectives of the event, whether they be purely business oriented, interpersonal or team oriented, or a combination of the two.
We plan for the personality and needs of the group. We carefully orchestrate the desired atmosphere, to create an environment conducive to open communication and creativity. As appropriate, we develop processes to reach out to and involve diverse stakeholders, whether that participation is directly at a facilitated in-person meeting or via other methods such as teleconference, survey, or web collaboration. We have facilitated groups that range in size from a few people to hundreds of people, and know how to tailor the agenda and facilitation plan to meet the needs of groups of various sizes.
Working with diverse stakeholders requires a wider range of skills than does facilitating a group of people from a single organization structure. We have been successful on many projects that involve cross-organizational input and participation from Congress, Federal agencies, State and local agencies, policy makers, political appointees, scientists, academia, national nonprofit organizations, local nonprofit agencies, industry representatives from large and small firms, and private citizens.
We use a variety of group facilitation techniques and tools including icebreakers, brainstorming, breakout groups, flipcharts, etc. We use specific techniques to move a group toward consensus, for example, dot-polls for rough prioritization. We use tools such as sticky walls (rip-stop nylon sprayed with an adhesive) to flexibly place and re-arrange items recorded on pieces of paper when the ability to reorganize is important. We use laptops to project text in large fonts and make changes the entire group can see when the changes are not extensive. We also take copious notes and provide meeting minutes or a draft and final report following each meeting. We support planning and coordination of meeting logistics, development of background or read-ahead materials, note taking and/or transcription, and publishing of reports, including graphics and printing where appropriate.

Congo issues warrants for former M23 rebel leaders
KINSHASHA, Congo (AP) — A government spokesman says Congo has issued international arrest warrants for four former leaders of the M23 rebel group believed to be in Rwanda.
In a statement published late Friday, Lambert Mende said the warrants for crimes against humanity, war crimes, torture and other offenses were transmitted to Kigali Thursday. The statement said Congo was "awaiting with interest" a response from Rwanda, which denies backing the rebel group despite evidence from United Nations experts and rights groups.
M23 formed in eastern Congo last year and briefly captured the city of Goma last November.
The leaders are former M23 president Jean-Marie Runiga and military commanders Baudouin Ngaruye, Eric Badege and Innocent Zimurinda. U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay has said Ngaruye and Zimurinda may be responsible for war crimes.

As a result there are not a lot of laugh-out-loud moments or explosive set pieces here. Instead of shooting off fireworks the books shimmer with a continuous comic glow."

I love the opening paragraph of The Call of Cthulhu. the one that starts, "The most merciful thing in the world.."
Assuming I don't opt for one of his better known ones such as that or "The Mountains...", I'd pick"The Music of Erich Zann."
Although I'm getting ready to re-read much of Lovecraft, I wanted to suggest another author to those who like him: Thomas Ligotti. And, if you want to read something really interesting that is not fiction, try his "The Conspiracy Against The Human Race." Speaking of religious believers in it he states, "They trust in anything that authenticates their importance as persons, tribes, societies and particularly as a species that will endure in this world and perhaps in an afterlife that may be uncertain in its reality and unclear in its lay-out, but sates their craving for values not of this earth- that depressing, meaningless place their consciousness must sidestep every day."
I like that opening paragraph as well. Are you in the Lovecraft group here?
I think I've heard of Ligotti, but not read him. I like that quote you copied here. That is also an intriguing title. I'll add it to my list. Thanks.
I looked around for a Lovecraft group. do you have a link?

Mike D'Antoni, not Phil Jackson, will be the next coach of the Lakers.
"We signed Mike D'Antoni to a multi-year deal," Lakers spokesman John Black said, mentioning the team's owner and top two executives. "Dr. [Jerry] Buss, Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak were unanimous that Mike D'Antoni was the best coach for the team at this time."
D'Antoni, 61, coached the New York Knicks last season and the Phoenix Suns before that. He will officially take over the Lakers within a week or two, depending how quickly he recovers from knee-replacement surgery.
The Lakers will introduce their new coach at a news conference as early as Tuesday but more likely later in the week. Bernie Bickerstaff will remain the team's interim coach for now.

A Zen poem is nothing other than an expression of the enlightened mind, a handful of simple words that disappear beneath the moment of insight to which it bears witness. Poetry has been an essential aid to Zen Buddhist practice from the dawn of Zen—and Zen has also had a profound influence on the secular poetry of the countries in which it has flourished. Here, two of America's most renowned poets and translators provide an overview of Zen poetry from China and Japan in all its rich variety, from the earliest days to the twentieth century. Included are works by Lao Tzu, Han Shan, Li Po, Dogen Kigen, Saigyo, Basho, Chiao Jan, Yuan Mei, Ryokan, and many others. Hamill and Seaton provide illuminating introductions to the Chinese and Japanese sections that set the poets and their work in historical and philosophical context. Short biographies of the poets are also included.
"A major collection."--Booklist
"The poets in this superb collection pay attention to the wonders of the natural world, the signs of precariousness of life in all living beings, the little changes that comprise each day, and the small details that are often missed by those who are less observant."--Spirituality & Health
"These evocative poems capture the ephemera of nature with uncanny starkness."--Buddhadharma
"There is no need to be mystical or religious to enjoy this writing."--The Bloomsbury Review
"This is a book to enrich our life and our practice, a collection that encourages us to be mindful, to keep at it. Read it, and sit."--Tricycle

Even though 70 percent of U.S. physicians report undergoing subspecialty training that involves specific chronic diseases, such as asthma and diabetes, new research shows that a majority of patients seeking care for most of 14 high-cost chronic conditions examined turn to primary care physicians.
Conducted by researchers at the Robert Graham Center for Policy Studies in Family Medicine and Primary Care, the study is summarized in a policy brief(www.jabfm.org) in the January-February issue of the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine.
Specifically, researchers used data from the 2008 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey to track outpatient visits for each of 14 high-cost chronic conditions listed by CMS in its Chronic Conditions Dashboard(www.ccwdata.org) to determine if patients were seen by a primary care physician or a subspecialist.
Primary care physicians were designated as those in family medicine, general practice, internal medicine or pediatrics.
Researchers found that of more than 10 million patient visits for asthma, 85.5 percent were to a primary care physician. For depression, 53.3 percent of visits were to a primary care physician, and for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 84.5 percent of visits were to a primary care physician.
Story highlights
- New research published in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine shows that many patients with chronic diseases receive care from primary care physicians.
- Of the 14 high-cost chronic conditions for which researchers tracked data, more patients sought care from primary care physicians versus subspecialists in all but three disease categories.
- Researchers noted that patients' dependency on primary care may not be fully appreciated.
In addition, researchers found that primary care physicians handled
- 66.8 percent of nearly 5 million patient visits for osteoporosis,
- 50.2 percent of more than 15 million visits for diabetes,
- 63.6 percent of nearly 25 million visits for chronic kidney disease,
- 77.9 percent of more than 30 million visits for hyperlipidemia and
- 68.9 percent of more than 50 million patient visits for hypertension.
In fact, of the 14 chronic conditions for which researchers reviewed data, in only three disease instances -- arthritis, atrial fibrillation and ischemic heart disease -- did patients more often see a subspecialist than a primary care physician.
"These data demonstrate how much patients depend on primary care physicians to take care of these complex and chronic conditions," said Graham Center Director Andrew Bazemore, M.D., M.P.H., in a Jan. 8 press release(www.graham-center.org).
"Many of these patients have multiple chronic conditions, so a physician with expertise in the whole person and the broad range of medical diagnoses is instrumental to ensuring that all their health needs are met," he added.
In the research summary, Bazemore and his colleagues noted that primary care "has been acknowledged as essential to the success of health care reform and the nation's triple aim" (i.e., improving patient care and outcomes and lowering costs).
The researchers added that the degree to which chronically ill patients depend on primary care physicians "may not be fully appreciated," and they suggested that primary care physicians be described as "complex care physicians" given their obligation to not only identify patient needs, but also to oversee preventive services, facilitate behavioral change and coordinate care with other health care professionals.
The findings are particularly relevant to family physicians, according to corresponding author Manisha Sharma, M.D., of Baltimore, medical director of Evergreen Health Care and a visiting scholar at the Graham Center. As a practicing family physician, Sharma is all-too-familiar with the crush of patients seeking care for chronic health conditions.
However, even she was caught off guard by the sheer numbers of patients who sought primary care versus subspecialty care, as well as by the lengthy list of chronic diseases involved.
"It's a large chunk of chronic conditions, and that did surprise me," Sharma told AAFP News Now. She said America's health care paradigm is shifting toward preventive care and interventions, functions that some would call the heart and soul of family medicine.
"Family physicians are the true leaders when it comes to the art of complex care," said Sharma. "We're multi-focused and knowledgeable in many areas of care."
According to Sharma, family physicians -- more than physicians in any other primary care specialty -- are trained to look at social determinants of health, such as the neighborhoods and conditions in which patients live, work and play.
"We need to start looking at the things that are the 'underbelly' of all these chronic conditions and how they are layered one on top of the other," said Sharma. "If we want to have a healthier America as we move forward, I really do believe the conversation needs to shift toward the social determinants of health."
In addition, said Sharma, health care policymakers in the midst of creating new models of care and making important decisions about the care that is delivered would do well to listen to physicians in the trenches.
Primary care physicians and, in particular, family physicians "need to be in the room and at the table," said Sharma. "We need to be part of those conversations, because we know what goes on day-to-day with our patients."

When a ticket becomes just a tattoo
If you ever hung out in an American independent record store in the 90s, there's probably no doubt that you've heard of Rocket From The Crypt - an awesome alt-punk band (with a horn section!!) who emerged from the San Diego scene in 1989. Well, they've recently reformed for a reunion tour - which some pals of mine just caught in Los Angeles, and they'll be in NYC for the next two nights - but there's some unfortunate news for those who have chosen to permanently adorn themselves.
Here's the backstory: around 1991, the band decided to take a logo from one of their singles and get it tattooed on themselves. Then, they decided that anyone who got the tattoo would gain free admission to their shows FOR LIFE.
But, as the Wall Street Journal reports - it simply isn't feasible anymore on their current set of dates.
Mr. Reis says the group heard from "hundreds" of tattooed fans asking about admission. When the band asked clubs to let them in free, they were told there was no room. The venues had sold out. "When we were around the first time, selling out shows was not our forte," he says. "There was usually plenty of room."
What was fun was to see how artists (and clients) reinterpreted the design to their own personal interests.
[Tattoo by Kenny Brown of Unlimited Ink on Kris Range]
[Tattoo by Mike Stobbe]
Long before I ever decided to get tattooed, I always that this was a brilliant piece of marketing (as well as a way to truly connect with your fans). Sure, it's real easy to get your favorite band's logo tattooed on you, but it's rare to get something back from it; true artistic reciprocity.
While most of the work that I've found online isn't of the caliber we usually feature, I still think that they had an awesome idea.

Growing your partner ecosystem at internet speedAnybody in the IT business who has worked with or at an 'enterprise' business will have, at some time, worked on a Business-to-business (B2B) project and will know how such endeavors are traditionally rolled out. It usually starts with Board and CxO-level negotiation between two businesses, drawing up contracts and eventually building and opening up APIs for use by the business partner. This is nothing new, it has been going on for decades. I can recount many such examples from customers and employees past. But something is new. The speed at which businesses need to move has now accelerated to a blistering pace. Businesses must be more agile and partnerships need to be formed rapidly and organically. The explosive growth of the SaaS ecosystem and rapid adoption of best of breed solutions by organizations has made integration as regular a part of an enterprise developer's day as breakfast. Furthermore, your next partner might not be a big enterprise, they could be an individual developer on the verge of her startup breakthrough. To develop partnerships to meet today's increased scale, agility and openness poses a number of challenges. How do you:
- accelerate the partner team's learning and ability to understand your API and how it works?
- manage the 1000s, or even hundreds of thousands of partners now knocking on your door?
- understand the success of your partner's on-boarding program?
- protect your underlying, core mission critical systems from abuse and attack?
- Developer Portal with dynamically generated API documentation and interactive API console to make partners successful in record time
- Self-service partner sign up, registration and group-based access controls for your APIs and documentation
- Comprehensive analytics showing the usage, performance and health of your APIs and partner usage
- Configurable policy system that allows the application of rate-limits, quotas and more
APIs as a businessAPI's have emerged from obscurity to become the transactional conduit of many business models. These essential APIs are at the center of how a growing number of modern businesses work. Access to API functionality is sold, often as a bundle with a monthly subscription or pay-per-call. The challenges posed in this world are no different to those explained above, except partners are your customers. API management provides a highly available solution to the important challenges posed by these business models and with Azure API Management's extensive REST API - it's easy to integrate with your commerce platform of choice to monetize your business.
Internal agility and mobile enablementIn addition to customers, we see another common type of partner: internal departments and employees. Most organizations of any longevity likely have 1000s of internal systems and APIs, all containing valuable data. Traditionally, there have been many obstacles to an ambitious intrapreneur or sibling business department in getting access to the data and services they need to solve a particular problem: bureaucratic and time-consuming processes, inadequate safeguards and protection, little or no documentation - that's assuming they can discover the existence of the API in the first place. Furthermore, the demand for mobile-enabled apps is forcing exponential growth in new APIs at organizations - a growing surface of APIs that demand management. Azure API Management is a turnkey solution that can industrialize your internal API surface area, and with powerful projection capabilities, can even make your old APIs look new and mobile-friendly. We are already seeing strong uptake of Azure API Management to help businesses rapidly increase their internal agility, service discovery and allow cross-company collaboration at internet speed.
General Availability, 99.9% SLA and new featuresIf you haven't tried API Management yet, today is a great day to start. We are launching the service into General Availability with a 99.9% SLA for Standard tier customers and are locking the price of the Developer tier at $49 (50% of the previously announced GA price at $99). We're also adding support for OAuth 2.0 in our developer portal's interactive console, meaning great support for any API that offers OAuth based authentication. To find out more about API Management, I'd recommend our getting started with Azure API Management tutorial. I've also recorded three videos with Scott Hanselman recently as part of the Azure Friday series, which I'd recommend as a quick way to get a great introduction to the service:
|Azure API Management 101- Get an overview of the new Azure API Management Service. If you've got a Web Service, why would you want API Management? What does it add to public facing web services?
|Azure API Management 102- How to customize your public facing APIs and an in-depth look at the Developer Portal and customization options, including how you can skin the Portal to exactly match your brand.
|Azure API Management 103- Advanced details of Azure API Management, including the kind of transformations that can be applied to your API and the analytics available to both partners and API publishers.

Translation of Johannes Koenig Passport
Translated from Russian to English by Donald Koenig, Glen Burnie, Maryland
The Koenig family, with origins in Mössingen/Tübingen, Württemberg, was one of the founding families of Alexanderhilf/Odessa in 1804/05. They prospered there and by the early 1860s Johannes' parents moved their family on to the daughter colony of Rosenfeld /Odessa. While Johannes was primarily a farmer he traveled internationally in the local region working as a buyer of specialty woods for his brother Heinrich, who had become owner of a carriage and wagon factory in Odessa. In the 1880s the family realized they had several sons growing up that would be subject to call-up into the military, so the Rosenfeld branch of the family decided to emigrate and come to America. So, 32 members of the Koenig family were on the 3 October 1889 voyage of the Augusta Victoria from Hamburg to New York. Along with Johannes, his wife and children were his parents and the families of three of his brothers. They started out in Hutchinson County, SD, but within a few years had split up with brother Friedrich's family going to Clackamas County, OR; Jakob's to Sheridan County, ND; Wilhelm's with his parents to McIntosh County, ND; and Johannes' to McLean County, ND.

Well aside from the fact that it takes time to translate and get the approval of miura, i dont think they would release all 27 volumes in one month.
I got the scanlations. I don't feel ashamed at that. I've also got the first 4 volumes released by darkhorse. Heh, I'm the one who emailed darkhorse and brought the news to people here that they intended to bring over the whole series past the first three volumes. I just hope darkhorse switches it over to bimonthly.
I just hope darkhorse switches it over to bimonthly.
Shut up, no one cares. You have SK.net's translations and scans. Hell, most of you even have scanslations. Just be patient and quit acting like little children. If you want manga that bad, print your scanslations and put it all together.
hehe ,he pushed your buttons!,quite amusing to me,this is a message board, and you get hostile,and on your 3rd post no less,that was his opinion, and what is yours?i have very good quality scans, in fact here,this is my book i made a while back:http://www.10-4.kingswolf.com/my_berserk_book.MPGand i dont want to act like a child,so i will use adult language and say,it was great of you to come here to see Berserk,and on your 3rd post i would like to inform you it would be a good idea to stfu,talk about Berserk or go away, to a far place, in the top of the forum,call the "trashcan", aka, shootin the breeze,i wish i was an enforcer,i would take people who like to start shit and transplant them into the ban-can,unless she has dark hair, beautiful face, all her teeth, a better name than aufond,....and i would like to see dark horse come out faster, but at least they are printing, yes? - c (did i push your buttons? you seem to be aufond of bullshit i might add )
Hahahaha.Slow down, Dark Horse, slow down and actually read the volumes before selling them.
....the growing favor of the king towards the Hawk leader raises the hackles of the king's jealous son, who plots to have Griffith summarily assassinated. But if the plot fails, the king's son will likely have to deal with Guts and his titanic broadsword, and the results of such confrontations are rarely pretty... or easy to clean up.
I really hate darkhorses summarizers...They could not get the summery right for the last couple volumes too.
I read the last few from Darkhorse, whats wrong with them?
Bah, don't you remember? You participated in the dissapointment too.I feel kind of proud though, because since I sent them an email to change their summerys and rewrite them correctly, they did .However, Im too lazy to find the thread with this in it. Seach around the site and find it yourself.
