Hi All,
Gecko fans are fortunate indeed (I included, as Ive worked with a great many in zoos and the field) over 150 species are available in the pet trade, many of which do quite well in modest enclosures. Among geckos we find lizards of every conceivable description rainforest dwellers, desert specialists, burrowers, gliders, giants and many others. Today Ill review some guidelines that will help you to set up terrariums for a variety of species. The following information can be applied to most available geckos, but details will vary. Please post below for information on individual species.
The family Gekkonidae contains over 1,050 species. Among lizards, their diversity is exceeded only by the skinks.
Geckos may be found in deserts, rainforests, woodlands and grasslands. Some associate with people voluntarily the aptly-named House Geckos favor our dwellings, while Tokay Geckos are established in Miami and other large cities. Five species are native to the USA, but approximately 15 have been introduced from elsewhere. Geckos range in size from the 1.2 inch-long Reef Geckos to the stout, 15 inch-long New Caledonian Giant Gecko.
The amazing ability of some geckos to run upside-down on ceilings was first recorded by Aristotle in the 4th Century. Gecko feet are being studied with a view towards creating new adhesives. Read the rest of this article here: Geckos - Setting Up a Terrarium, Gecko Supplies, and Gecko Facts

Ileana Makri
Diamond Turning Bar Ringmak-4450
With its modern, minimal and meticulously hand-crafted design, this Ileana Makri ring also has intricate movement. The 18K yellow gold horizontal bar spins from its points on each end. It is encrusted with shimmering white diamonds and connects to a horseshoe shaped band. Edgy and understated, it looks amazing alone, but could also be added to a stacking collection.

GREECE - For Greek born Ileana Makri, mageia - enchantment or magic - has been her muse since she began her jewelry line over a decade ago. Inspired and fascinated by meaningful symbols which cross cultural borders, her collection is a meticulously crafted interpretation of such mystical and figurative images. Particularly intrigued by the evil eye - believed by many to offer protection from negative forces - this symbol is seen in many of her creations in the form of diamonds, sapphires and rubies. Refined and understated, her jewelry also has an underlying 'rock chic' and is worn by Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez, Ashley Olsen, Lenny Kravitz and Courteney Cox.

Sharks edge Flames for fourth straight winby Eric Gilmore
SAN JOSE -- San Jose Sharks forward Joe Pavelski waited 528 games to get his first career NHL hat trick Saturday night in a 5-4 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
One game later, Pavelski nearly had hat trick No. 2.
Pavelski continued his torrid streak Monday, scoring two goals and leading the Sharks to a 3-2 victory against the Calgary Flames at SAP Center.
Pavelski now has 27 goals this season and is tied for second in the NHL with the Anaheim Ducks' Corey Perry. He's four goals shy of tying his career high of 31 set two seasons ago.
Coming off his hat trick, Pavelski produced his 23rd career two-goal game. He has 18 goals in his past 20 games.
"I feel good," Pavelski said. "Obviously, there are nights where you don't feel your best and you find a way to get one or two. It feels how you should play the game all the time, to be honest. It's the way you picture it. I've just visualized this a few times, so it shouldn't be anything new."
Pavelski continued feasting on the Flames. He has 29 points (11 goals, 18 assists) in 29 career games against Calgary, and his two-goal game Monday helped the Sharks get two points despite a sloppy performance.
"We weren't very good, obviously," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "I didn't think we skated well. We didn't move our feet and then we tried to pass standing still, and they were errant. [We] had no rhythm or tempo in the game and really didn't establish a forecheck game other than the first four or five minutes of the game. So it was a night we probably got away with one. The mindset wasn't real good, so we've got to regroup here. If we continue to play like that, we won't be winning."
Tommy Wingels also scored for the Sharks (32-12-6), who won their fourth straight game. They and have won all three games against Calgary this season.
Calgary (16-27-7), which lost its fourth straight game, had goals from Jiri Hudler and Kevin Westgarth.
Sharks goaltender Antti Niemi made 21 saves; Calgary's Karri Ramo made 24.
"We're disappointed in the loss, but you can't fault the effort," said Flames center Matt Stajan, who signed a four-year extension before the game. "We had our chances. If we continue to work like that we'll give ourselves a chance no doubt about it. It just wasn't good enough to win tonight."
The Flames, who had 101 penalty minutes in a 3-2 shootout loss Saturday night against the Vancouver Canucks, took only one penalty the entire game, a two-minute minor, while the Sharks were not penalized. It was San Jose's ninth penalty-free game in franchise history and second this season.
Hudler gave the Flames a 1-0 lead at 4:08 of the first with his 13th goal of the season. Hudler got the puck along the left boards, darted past Sharks defenseman Brad Stuart and beat Niemi with backhand to the far side from close range.
Pavelski answered for the Sharks at 12:22 of the first with a tip-in of Justin Braun's blast from the blue line.
What's been the secret to Pavelski's red-hot streak?
"I wish we all knew because we'd all try to follow that same recipe for success," Wingels said. "It's fun to watch. They go in a whole different variety of ways as you saw tonight. When you're hot, you're hot. He'll certainly take it and as a team we'll take it as well."
Wingels gave the Sharks a 2-1 lead 21 seconds later, blasting a shot from above the right circle that bounced off Ramo's pads and trickled over the goal line.
Calgary pulled even at 13:34 of the first on Westgarth's first goal of the season. Niemi stopped Brian McGrattan's shot from the right circle but couldn't control the rebound, and a hard-charging Westgarth, a fourth-line wing, scored from the slot.
"That's one of our best games since I've been here," Westgarth said. "That team is good."
Pavelski struck again at 14:54 of the second with a power play goal, giving San Jose a 3-2 lead. Planted in front of the crease, Pavelski redirected a pass from Joe Thornton past Ramo.
"The ice was just so bouncy tonight, I just tried to get it in the general direction," Thornton said. "He just made a great play, just hand-eye coordination. He's just playing great right now. The puck seems to hit him right now and go in."
Thornton moved past Bobby Hull into sole possession of 48th place on the NHL's all-time list with his 1,171st career point.
Flames forward Paul Byron left the game early in the second period with a lower-body injury and did not return. Sharks forward Matthew Nieto left the game midway through the second after a Flames shot deflected off of Wingels' skate and hit him in the nose, but he returned for the start of the third period.
Defenseman Kris Russell and forward David Jones returned to the lineup for Calgary. Russell missed 13 games with a knee injury, while Jones missed eight games with an eye injury.

Miley Cyrus opened up about her broken engagement with Liam Hemsworth during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" airing Friday.
The "We Can't Stop" singer, who is still somehow dominating the news cycle since her controversial MTV Video Music Awards performance in August, is currently on a tour promoting her newly released "Bangerz" album.
Quite a few things have changed since the last time she appeared on "Ellen" in November, such as her engagement to Hemsworth, a star of "The Hunger Games," being called off.
Tongues have been wagging after her notorious "twerking" performance at the VMAs, her controversial comments about drugs and sex, and her stripped-down music video for "Wrecking Ball." However, despite her increasing high public profile, the actress-singer has stayed mum about the end of that relationship. Until now.
The couple met on the set of their film "The Last Song" in 2009 and dated for four years. Hemsworth, 23, proposed in 2012, but their relationship was plagued by breakup and cheating rumors over the past year. It finally came to a halt in mid-September.
"So the last time you were here, I threw you an engagement party," DeGeneres said, playing back a clip of strippers dancing for Cyrus.
"Do you want your money back?" Cyrus quipped.
"I want my money back. I sent like you know, you enjoyed it," DeGeneres said, showing the strippers clip again.
"I should of kept one of those dudes' numbers. That woulda come in handy now," the "Hannah Montana" alum said.
Cyrus said she wasn't uncomfortable getting so much media attention in the aftermath of her breakup, giving DeGeneres long-winded answers about her thought process.
"It's not really as awkward because I'm living it," Cyrus said. "So I think people spend more time actually thinking about it than I really do. I just believe when a chapter is done you have to close it and start that new one, and that's kind of where I am right now. I felt like I have so much to be thankful for at this time that my energy hasn't really been focused on that."
"I've been kind of impressed with people and how much they've actually shown more respect. I don't really look up anything, so maybe they haven't been showing respect, but from what I have, like, seen, I felt like people have really focused on my music right now when I've needed them and have actually been really good about that. Because that's the only thing I worried about, was I didn't want it to make me to sacrifice what I've been working for, for just the attention to be on that."
The Ministry believes that she needs to read more...
The 20-year-old also said that she wanted her music to take precedence over her personal life, rather than have it be overshadowed, but her album happens to take on the arc of her relationship.
"The whole album is a story of that," she said. "And I think it says that with starting with 'Adore You' and ending with 'Someone Else' is I feel like you can really find like this arc of, like, growth and I didn't even know as much until I really listened to it now that it's done and I have, like, my physical copy and I put it in my car. I'm like this is really, like, telling a story. I think I knew more intuitively where my life was going than I actually thought I did at the time."
But just because she's single again doesn't mean Cyrus has started dating already -- even though she was reported to be making out with producer Mike Will Made It and others at her release party earlier this week.
"You know, for me, I really haven't gotten to see anyone right now. 'Cause I've been like so crazy busy. I'm just letting that chapter kind of close and just looking forward to that new one," she said. "I want to be really clear and determined with everything I'm doing in my life right now, and I have been. ... I keep saying I'm the happiest I've ever been, and that's not even a dig. That's just me because I really am genuinely happy finally with myself, which I think sometimes it takes you separating yourself from someone else to really be happy with who you are. I've never been able to just be alone, and I'm obsessed with being alone and like hearing my thoughts."
The former Disney star said she's focused on herself and all the people that are close to her, to figure out how they're inspired and learn as much as she can about them.
Cyrus said it's been "the craziest time" in her whole life and didn't understand why there was so much hype around her provocative VMA performance, which she rehearsed several times with Robin Thicke. She also added that she has an obsession with "being an adult baby." Color us puzzled.
Surprisingly, this is the most normal and zen the singer has appeared in some time -- even when DeGeneres presented her with a skimpy onesie and a "bobble butt" twerking action figure. However, we're still waiting for some enormous purple teddy bear to pop out of nowhere and yell, "Psyche!"

Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

Distinguished artists, art collectors, museum directors, curators, critics, gallerists, publishers, and others active in the cultural sphere will take part. There is time allotted after each Art Basel Conversation for the audience to meet the panel informally.
Art Salon
Situated in the entrance D area of the Miami Beach Convention Center, Art Salon is a platform for discussion by artworld figures presenting their projects, with an emphasis on the most current themes in contemporary art. Informal in format but international in scope, it also features book launches, artist talks, roundtable discussions and lectures.
Art Film
Art Film is curated by Zurich film connaisseur This Brunner and will feature the award-winning film 'Waste Land,' which follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home base in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world's largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro.

Today we went over to a cousin's house. The original plan was for the kids to spend the day out in their yard, which has all kinds of stuff. Unfortunately, some local inhabitants had other plans.
|Damnit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not an apiarist.
So we went to an aquarium instead, where we got to see the bravest man in California cleaning a tank:
Yes, folks, the fish really were in there, all cowering in the left corner. So much for using them as watch fish in my swimming pool.
And then, because the cousins outvoted us, we ended up going back to (drumroll, please) Lego Land! Did I mention that I can't wait till these passes expire next week?
Lego Land, like every amusement park on Earth, has a generic "Wild Mouse" type roller coaster. Here it's called "Technic." It's not bad, but while waiting in line you're subjected to this horrible synthetic-industrial-pop soundtrack that plays the same 30-second sequence over and over AND OVER again. Until you want to move like Shields & Yarnell (yes, I'm old). How the people who work on the ride put it up with it all day I don't know, but you'd think one of them would snap sooner or later and add "going Technic" to the American lexicon.
Lego Land sells these little plastic packets, each with some sort of collectible minifigure in it, and they change minifigure sets (16 in each! Collect them all!) every 3 months. And once they're gone, THEY'RE GONE. Never to be released again in any form.
|This is what they look like.
Now, I personally don't give a shit. I mean, they're freakin' Legos! And each minifigure is $2.99 ($3.22 with tax- you learn that fast). But my kids saved up a crapload of money just to buy them here (Grumpyville has 3 Lego stores, but that's not good enough for them). Of course, each kid has a specific request: Craig wants Little Red Riding Hood, Marie wants King Neptune, and Frank wants Astronaut Soldier That Looks Kind Of Like The "Halo" Guy.
Of course, they don't actually SELL the damn things labeled, so you can see what they are. They're in giant bins in every Lego store (and there's one every 50 feet here), sealed in identical plastic wrappers. You have no clue which one is which. So your kids (and everyone elses) stand around fondling packages, trying to figure it out. "Dad, does this thing in the bottom corner feel like Neptune's trident/a picnic basket/a space rifle?" And, of course, I have no idea. It feels like a hard piece of molded plastic, okay?
You'd think they'd put a label on them, to help kids. But the store dude told me that's not allowed, because it brings down the value for collectors. Yes, collectors. People who will pay big money in a few years for a sealed plastic packet, that for all they know has a broken figure and a rat turd in it. Because what's the point of blowing 2 months worth of salary on a small plastic toy if you actually know what it is?
So, each Lego store usually has one employee with a good sense of touch who can feel around and tell you what they are, sometimes. Not always. You have a 1 in 16 chance of being right.
THEN there's the guy at The Big Store, which is the main sales place at the park entrance.
I don't remember his name. Something like Ricardo. He reminds me of Franck Eggelhoffer, the insane wedding planner (played by Martin Short) in "Father of the Bride (1991). Complete with the nonspecific accent and flamboyant mannerisms.
But damn, this guy is good. No matter what they pay him, it isn't enough. He sells his weight in minifigures every 10 minutes. He should have his own TV show.
Kids find him and ask for, say, the Easter Bunny figure, and he takes it from there.
"The Easter Bunny, yes? You want Ricardo to find an Easter Bunny for you?" And with great theatrics he walks over to the bin, runs his fingers over 200 packets in 10 seconds (he doesn't look at them- sometimes he closes his eyes for effect) and then whips one out, snaps his fingers, announces "Ricardo has found the Easter Bunny!" and tosses it to the kid. Then it's the next kid's turn. This guy has some sort of zen-Lego magic touch. Even the other employees are in awe of him.
The best part is when some kid questions him "Are you sure this is the Easter Bunny?" Ricardo claps his hands and indignantly exclaims "Ricardo is NEVER wrong!" and goes back to his next request. And, I must admit, on this and several past trips (he draws a crowd, he's that good) I've never seen him screw up yet.
Then the real insanity begins.
Every Lego Land employee has one or more of these coveted minifigures on their name badge, and kids can trade if they see one they want. So my kids will bring some from home to do this. Marie loves to buy them in the store, pocket the accessories, and then trade the naked figure for a fully equipped one, pull off their aceessories, and repeat (warning: this doesn't always work, depending on the employee). I've actually seen roller coaster rides delayed because kids are trading figures with the guy who works the controls.
Where this makes you want to pull your hair out is when your kid just spent 30 minutes looking for a certain figure, finally gets Ricardo to find it for them, is overjoyed to have bought it, and one minute later trades the damn thing to a guy selling churros outside the store. This happens all the freakin' time, and makes me glad I brought my Rogaine.
At one point, in an exchange that had me in hysterics, I watched as Frank traded figures among 3 park employees and 4 other kids who were walking around Pirate Shores, and at the end of 10 minutes he discovered he had his original figure back, with absolutely no new accessories.
I don't understand it either.
But you know what has REALLY pissed me off on this trip? It's going to sound stupid (because it is).
They used to have this great attraction where families would race firetrucks against other families. Four families would compete in a vicious, no-holds-barred competition to pump giant Lego fire trucks across a track, aim 2 water cannons to put out a fake fire, and then pump the trucks back. You play for pride (not even a cheapshit $2.99 Lego figure, FFS) but for 10 seconds afterward the victors can bask in the glow of having won.
|Hell on wheels. With kids.
Now, for reasons which the staff will only explain as "an accident happened," YOU CAN'T RACE. You all try to pump the cars slowly across the track, getting to the fire at the same time (waiting for the other trucks to arrive) then put out the fires, get back in the trucks (waiting for the idiots who can't figure out how to work a toy water cannon to finish) and then go slowly back to the finish together.
WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF THAT?!!! If you're going to do some manual labor at Lego Land, it should be to prove you're better at it than other families!
Obviously, it's really pathetic that this pisses me off as much as it does, and likely takes the phrase "first world problem" to a new level.
I'm going to bed now. King Neptune, Astronaut Soldier Guy, and Little Red Riding Hood are looking like they want to start a threesome, and I'm keeping them from getting it on.

Kermit plays the piano as monsters (a Snerf, a different version of Splurge and another monster) come up to it. Kermit plays "Tea for Two" and "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby" to calm them down and send them away. At the end, once Kermit thinks he's home free, his piano comes alive and eats him.
This sketch was performed by Kermit in a tux on The Ed Sullivan Show and The Hollywood Palace. Kermit also performed the sketch on another program (pictured) in his classic form, without clothes.

UD REP ENSEMBLE, the best theatre in the state and equal to the best in the region, dives head first into unchartered waters with their first play with music, THE THREEPENNY OPERA.
UD REP ENSEMBLE, the best theatre in the state and equal to the best in the region, dives head first into unchartered waters with their first play with music, THE THREEPENNY OPERA.
This is not your Mom Mom's "Oklahoma" , where the only tension therein is who will take Laurie to the church social in the surrey with the fringe on top.
Written by philosopher/social commentator Bertolt Brecht with music by Kurt Weill, both of whom suffered and aggrieved under the threat of pre war German fascism of the '30's. Think Liza Minnelli's "Cabaret" sans Kit Kat Klub but with more social corruption, deceit and hypocrisy.
Set in a dystopian, anachronistic Victorian England, the central figure is MacHeath a/k/a 'Mac The Knife' (Mic Matarrese) a veteran REP Player who - from his first entrance - establishes himself as the major domo of crime in London; the amoral anti-hero.
Mac is obsessed with women as Lance Armstrong is with lying. In fact, one might have wished to see a bit more of Lance in Mac; a bit more of the conniver, the manipulator and the scourge of all who stand in opposition.
One very much Mac's antagonist was JJ Peachum, the always wonderful Stephen Pelinski and Mrs. Peachum (Kathleen Pirkl-Tague)...whose husband, btw is directing DTC's current comedy. Yes, the Peachums are scoundrels themselves, so there is little room to talk. And, they wear outfits I swear my Mom and Dad wore in the '50's.
Peachum trains and licenses all London beggars and gets a majority of their action, thank you very much! She enables him and has her own little problem with liquor, playing a drunk both realistically and comically.
It seems the Peachums are slightly miffed that Mac has wed their daughter Polly (Deena Burke) after knowing her but 5 days. This is exacerbated by the rumor that Mac has also wed Lucy (Erin Partin) daughter of his best friend (and ironically Police Chief) Tiger Brown (Anand Nagraj). Partin, the best voice in the ensemble, teams with Burke for a stirring and strident "Jealousy Duet".
To JJ, Polly is his property. This is enough for him. "My daughter is my rod and staff of my old age", he spits out from the other side of his mouth. He conspires to have Mac hung. Mac's other lover, prostitute Jenny (Elizabeth Heflin) turns him in. Honor, it appears, is bereft in the entire assemblage.
The music is difficult. It is disharmonic. These are not the melodies of Cole Porter. It is challenging even for trained singers. The live band, another first for the REP, sits behind the mammoth, sky-scraping post-industrial set piece created by Mathew LeFebvre. The design is inimical to the edginess of the play.
Spouts JJ Peachum, "Everybody's on the take, so awake ye poor sinners". " I'd love to make the world a better place. It's just not practical". ( Those homilies ring true today. To wit: Wall Street and the excess pork in every bill coming out of the US Capitol. )
The play has been produced over 10,000 times due to the questions and the uneasiness it provokes. Who is the more righteous; the capitalist in the mansion or the criminal in the bowery? Those watching can make their own decisions. That's epic theatre!
REP ENSEMBLE continues its mission of producing theatrical classics with the highest quality production values. It confounds AISLE SAY when I discuss REP and the reply is a blank stare. Huzzahs, btw, to the powers at UD for continuing the adjacent PTTP MFA program; it being the training ground for this gifted ensemble.
The art generated by Sandy Robbins and his dedicated crew will continue to flourish and benefit both UD and our state.

"Surprisingly the first full biography . . . Carretta presents his significant research in this comprehensive study of Wheatley. He uncovered her previously unknown earliest writings in the personal papers of a contemporary. Using court documents about her husband, John Peters, Carretta found new information about Wheatley's postemancipation life in Boston and London, years about which scholars still know very little. He also provides fresh analysis of Wheatley's poetry and gives the reader a glimpse into the lives of both free and enslaved blacks in Colonial New England."
—Library Journal
With Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral (1773), Phillis Wheatley (1753?–1784) became the first English-speaking person of African descent to publish a book and only the second woman—of any race or background— to do so in America. Written in Boston while she was just a teenager, and when she was still a slave, Wheatley's work was an international sensation. In Phillis Wheatley, Vincent Carretta offers the first full-length biography of a figure whose origins and later life have remained shadowy despite her iconic status.
A scholar with extensive knowledge of transatlantic literature and history, Carretta uncovers new details about Wheatley's origins, her upbringing, and how she gained freedom. Carretta solves the mystery of John Peters, correcting the record of when he and Wheatley married and revealing what became of him after her death. Assessing Wheatley's entire body of work, Carretta discusses the likely role she played in the production, marketing, and distribution of her writing. Wheatley developed a remarkable transatlantic network that transcended racial, class, political, religious, and geographical boundaries. Carretta reconstructs that network and sheds new light on her religious and political identities. In the course of his research he discovered the earliest poem attributable to Wheatley and has included it and other unpublished poems in the biography.
Carretta relocates Wheatley from the margins to the center of her eighteenth-century transatlantic world, revealing the fascinating life of a woman who rose from the indignity of enslavement to earn wide recognition, only to die in obscurity a few years later.

- England in India 2012-13
Anderson & Trott handed rest
England have rested fast bowler James Anderson and batsman Jonathan Trott from the ODI series in India in January and replaced them with Chris Woakes and Jos Buttler. They have also included batsman Joe Root in the Twenty20 squad for the two matches in December before they return home for Christmas.
"Woakes and Buttler replace Anderson and Trott in [the] India ODI squad as [the] selectors look to manage workloads," the ECB said in a statement.
Anderson had originally been selected only to play the first three matches of the five-ODI series, but he will now miss the entire contest after playing an important role in England's 2-1 victory in the Test series in India.
Root was added to the T20 squad that was weakened by the injury to Stuart Broad, who will be replaced as captain as Eoin Morgan.
England play Twenty20 internationals on December 20 and 22 before returning home for Christmas and the New Year. They return to India in the first week of January for the ODI series.
Twenty20 squad: Jonny Bairstow, Tim Bresnan, Danny Briggs, Jos Buttler, Jade Dernbach, Alex Hales, Michael Lumb, Stuart Meaker, Eoin Morgan (capt), Samit Patel, James Tredwell, Luke Wright, Joe Root, James Harris.
ODI squad: Alastair Cook (capt), Jonny Bairstow, Ian Bell, Tim Bresnan, Danny Briggs, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Craig Kieswetter, Stuart Meaker, Eoin Morgan, Samit Patel, Kevin Pietersen, James Tredwell, Chris Woakes, Jos Buttler.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve is open to taking further action to support the struggling U.S. economy. But minutes of the Fed's June meeting show policymakers at odds over whether the economy needs more help now.
A few members said the economy may already require additional support. But several others noted that further action "could be warranted" if the recovery lost momentum, if risks became more pronounced or inflation seemed likely to run below the committee's target.
Investors appeared disappointed by the division within the Fed.
Stock prices sank after the Fed expressed concerns about the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average had been down nearly 40 points before the minutes were released at 2 p.m. Eastern time. At around 2:30 p.m., the Dow was down 112 points, on track for its fifth straight day of losses.
Since the Fed met June 19-20, the job market's weakness has persisted. The government said Friday that hiring in June was weak for a third straight month. The economy added just 80,000 jobs.
David Jones, chief economist at DMJ Advisors, said he didn't think Fed officials would have announced any new action at its June meeting even if they'd known how weak the June employment report would be.
Jones said he thinks the Fed will launch a new bond buying program eventually. But he says the timing remains hazy.
"These minutes show that there is still a very deep division within the Fed," Jones said.
Many economists predict the Fed won't announce any new steps at its next meeting July 31-Aug. 1. They think officials will hold off for one more meeting and give the job market a little longer to show improvement. If the economy doesn't improve, the Fed could announce some new action at its Sept. 12-13 meeting.
Since the recession, the Fed has bought more than $2 trillion in Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities, expanding its portfolio to more than $2.8 trillion.
In the meantime, Jones said the Fed might decide at its next meeting to extend its timetable for when it plans to increase short-term interest rates. The Fed now plans to keep a key short-term rate at a record low until at least late 2014. Jones said officials might push that target into 2015 to reassure investors that borrowing costs will stay low even longer than expected.
At last month's meeting, Fed officials signaled their concern that the struggling U.S. economy could worsen if Congress fails to avert tax hikes and across-the-board spending cuts that kick in at the end of the year. And they expressed worries that Europe's debt crisis will weigh on U.S. growth.
More stimulus "won't become a reality unless the recovery loses even more momentum or a more severe flare up in the euro-zone crisis raises the already elevated downside risks," said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics.
Members said the economy will likely continue to grow moderately. But the Fed lowered its growth forecast at the June meeting, noting that the U.S. job market had weakened and consumer spending slowed. It also said it didn't expect the unemployment rate to fall much further this year from its current 8.2 percent.
Some members noted that defense contractors are already laying plans for layoffs if lawmakers don't address the package of tax hikes and spending cuts by the end of the year. Members warned that tighter government spending could slow the economy well into next year.
At the meeting, the Fed extended a program that shifts its bond portfolio to try to lower long-term interest rates. Policymakers left open the possibility of providing further help, such as launching a new program of bond purchases.
Chairman Ben Bernanke may offer further guidance on the Fed's plans next week when he delivers the central bank's updated economic assessment to Congress. After the June meeting, Bernanke told reporters he was open to another round of bond purchases if the job market didn't improve.
Employers added an average of just 75,000 jobs a month in the April-June quarter — only about a third of the 225,000 jobs a month created in the first three months of the year.
After its last meeting, the Fed downgraded its economic outlook. It now expects growth of just 1.9 percent to 2.4 percent in 2012, half a percentage point lower than its April forecast.

Syrians are having the Martyrs week through out the country dedicated to the martyrs whom are completely ignored by the regime. Bashar Al Assad did not even said that he was sorry or felt sad for them !!
Syrians promised to have protests across the country next Wednesday. The Syrian activists have called the Syrian people on Facebook to boycott the Syrian mobile phone networks today. The networks are giving free minutes in solidarity with Bashar El Assad. They are also calling the citizens to protests in front of the the El-Baath party HQs across the country next Thursday April 7th on its anniversary.
There is a sit in in front of the Omari Mosque tonight at Daraa.This video below is from Daraa , it was taken on March 25,2011. You can hear in it the live ammunition sound and you can see the dead and injured in the streets. It is graphic and those who upload it online claim that the one who filmed it was killed. I do not know if he was injured or killed but it he was shot during filming.
This video below was filmed at Duma , near Damascus. It was a funeral for the martyrs who were killed last Friday
According to FB groups the the city of Duma is currently facing huge security siege. There were unconfirmed reports that internet was blocked last night. The arrests through out the country has become a natural thing unfortunately. Some activists like Suhair Atassi were released but in return many activists and protesters have been arrested. By the way here is MRS. Atassi's twitter account ,it is not active though. The shops at the city of Daraa were closed in solidarity with the city. The photos and statues of El-Assad dynasty are being destroyed throughout the country.This video below from a city in a Latakia showing citizens burning down a statue of Hafiz El-Assad
This video below from city of Duma showing the citizens tearing down a banner for Bashar El-Assad.
The international and regional media are still covering Syrian in a shy way compared to the coverage of Egyptian revolution , there are huge security challenges facing journalists in Syrian indeed but the shy coverage of Al Jazeera is shameful. Still I believe it is not about the mainstream media coverage because if the Syrian revolution has been going so far in this way with that sort of coverage then we should not be afraid. Again there was no Al Jazeera in 1919 in Egypt , people did not wait for Al Jazeera and CNN in 2011 to cover our fight against Mubarak regime. People's anger , persistence and faith are more important. In the Arab revolutions spring the upper hand was for the social media not the mainstream media.
This is what I am doing here , trying to transfer the image in Syria which the regime does not want to show. This is why it is important to transfer these graphic videos blow all over the internet.
This video was filmed last April 1st Friday. I think it was filmed in Homs at one of the mosques there where protesters were transferred to when they were shot down. Some of them were injured and some of them were killed.
This video was filmed in Homs and that young man who was shot down at his head was 19 years old Hany Khalil.
There are so many videos like that coming from Syria and yet the world seemed to be uninterested. There are human rights crimes committed and nobody cares as it seems. What I fear is that desperate regimes can commit genocides against its own people.
The Syrian regime from its side is trying to win some time by cosmetic reforms like for instance a new cabinet , a promise to lift the emergency law and giving the Kurds the Syrian nationality !!! Already giving the Syrian Kurds the Syrian nationality incriminates the Syrian regime now more than anything !!? Why you have to wait all that time !! This is so Arabic regime action !! All this is nothing compared to the blood that has not dried yet !! Every weekend civilians get killed because a decaying regime. I believe the Syrians insh Allah will rest till they bring down that criminal regime down.
The Syrian authorities have already suspended the football league in the country for further notice , they are scared from any gathering in the country currently.
77% of the Syrian population is less than 35 years old and these 77% just like us in Egypt knew about the pluralism in political life and their rich political life before the Baath regime from books and historical TV series. We had enough from rotten regimes.
Here is a list of the El-Baath regime tweeps on twitter gathered by Syrian tweeps. They are spreading lies about the revolutionaries and the current revolution. They claim that El-Hariri JR and Saudi intelligence are behind it !! Of course they ignored the fact that the Saudi intelligence is too busy in the jazz currently taking place in Bahrain and Yemen !!
Egyptian enigneer Khaled Ghayesh spoke on ON TV about his time in detention in Syria. Now Ghayesh has revealed that there is another Egyptian detained in Homs where he was detained. This Egyptian is Mahmoud El-Safaty who works in Kuwait and was visiting his friends in Syria for week. El-Safaty was in his way to leave the country on Friday when he was detained. We do not know which Friday thought. He works as a interior designer in Kuwait.
I could not find anything about him on the Facebook except this message from someone who knew him personally on "We are all Khaled Said" group , amazingly enough the Egyptian Consul "Mahmoud El-Fayoumy" in Damascus answered on this message telling that friend to send him more info giving him his number.
Some Egyptians are calling the ministry of foreign affairs to issue a warning for Egyptians going to Syria. You can't blame them when you hear about more Egyptians detained there and accused of spying !!

The phenomenon of political correctness is ubiquitous. Someone could write a good book about it. Dinesh D'Souza devoted his precocious first book — Illiberal Education — to the higher education branch of the subject twenty years ago. To say matters have not improved would be a considerable understatement. Chapter 7 of the book addresses the teaching of race and gender at Harvard.
To say that matters have not improved on campus would be a considerable understatement. Anyone looking to update the book might want to file away John Leo's list of Harvard freshman reading for what appears to be some form of cultural sensitivity training. The "diversity" in which Harvard students are inculcated is the politically correct, Orwellian kind. Come to think of it, Peter Wood wrote an excellent book about such "diversity."
While we're in the neighborhood of Harvard, you might want to check out the Harvard Law Unbound post on "The Anti-Hero of Harvard Law School." The site is polling the question: Who is the Anti-Kingsfield of Harvard Law School? Results aren't final, but — spoiler warning — Laurence Tribe has a big lead.
Well, cultural training has even reached the forces of the Afghan Army, and the Washington Post is pretty excited about it.
The Post reporters assert that Afghan soldiers "are still beset by a dangerous lack of cultural awareness, officials say, contributing to a string of insider attacks that have threatened to undermine the military partnership." They don't quote a single official who thinks that lack of cultural awareness is contributing to "a string of insider attacks." It's a sentence that reflects — how to put it? — the lack of cultural awareness of the Post's own reporters.

Horrified, the Earth team begin killing all the spiders to make the planet safe. The Doctor probes a little deeper though, and discovers a humanoid apparently hatching from an egg. The Doctor rushes back to the Earth team, only to find out that the spiders have now all been killed. Sadly, in so doing, the humans have permanently destroyed a beautifully symbiotic ecosystem. The humanoid inhabitants of this world didn't "sacrifice" themselves to the spiders. They gave food to the spiders, who, in turn, provided cocoons for the humanoids, from which the humanoids would metamorphose into humanoid butterflied.
The Doctor leaves, saddened that he could not work out what was going on in time to save this fragile relationship.

What we eat affects our health. But can it have an effect on breast cancer or cancer in general?
The answer might be yes.
A 2012 Harvard Medical School study compared results of studies measuring women's blood levels of carotenoid, colorful plant pigments that can act as antioxidants. The study determined that women with the highest levels of carotenoids had a lower risk of breast cancer, with the association appearing stronger for smokers and women who were lean rather than overweight.
The study also found that carotenoids may be particularly helpful in women with cancers that are harder to treat and have a poorer prognosis.
Carotenoids are the micronutrients in fruits and vegetables that give them vibrant orange, yellow and red colors. Vegetables are the best sources of carotenoids, including carrots, sweet potatoes, red peppers and winter squash. Green, leafy vegetables (spinach, asparagus, broccoli) also contain large amounts of carotenoids; their green color masks the orange-yellow traditionally associated with carotenoids.
Once consumed, the body turns carotenoids into vitamin A, a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants help the body reduce the inflammatory action of free-radical elements that may contribute to the development of cancer.
While it is not clear whether carotenoids directly lower cancer risk — and a single dietary factor should never be weighed without considering other health characteristics and behaviors — a higher level of carotenoids circulating in the bloodstream may be particularly protective against breast cancers that do not need estrogen to grow.
Plant-based diet
Well-known breast cancer risk factors usually have been linked to more common estrogen-dependent cancers, but the Harvard study suggests that a healthy, plant-based diet may be one of the easiest ways to reduce risk factors for less common, poorer-prognosis, non-estrogen-dependent tumors.
Many breast cancers in women with a family history of the disease and specific genetic mutations that dramatically increase their breast cancer risk are more susceptible to these types of cancers.
The U.S. surgeon general has stated that "a comparison of populations indicates that death rates for cancers of the breast, colon, and prostate are directly proportional to estimated dietary fat intakes."
In looking at surviving breast cancer once it has occurred, fat is again the enemy. In a Canadian research study, women with cancer were more likely to have lymph node involvement if they had a higher fat intake; dietary fat seems to have a measurable effect when cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
Vegetables and fruits, and the vitamins they contain, seem to help keep the cells of the body in better working order — one sign of which, for breast cells, is the presence of estrogen receptors. So vegetables and fruits are not only important in helping to prevent cancer, but also in improving survival for those who have cancer.
Like many others, the Harvard study provides evidence that a plant-based diet low in fat and animal protein may have a positive effect on cancers of any kind, in addition to improving overall health. However, healthy eating habits can't ensure that a woman will not get cancer, and it's no substitute for regular health care exams and screenings.

Defarra Gaymon was a 48 year-old married father of four and CEO of the Credit Union of Atlanta. Last Friday night, he was shot and killed by a Newark police officer shortly after leaving his 30th high school reunion. Why?
Yesterday, the Essex County prosecutor finally relayed the officer's statement to the press. The 29 year-old officer was patrolling Branch Brook Park, a well-known gay pickup spot. Somehow, he lost a pair of handcuffs. He went back to look for them, and "Mr. Gaymon approached him while masturbating," the WSJ reports. The policeman says he pulled out his badge and told Gaymon he was under arrest—then, Gaymon "shoved the officer to the ground and ran, ignored the officer's demands to stop, and repeatedly threatened to kill the officer if he approached," according to the NYT. And as the cop was trying to handcuff him:
"Mr. Gaymon reached into his pocket and lunged at the officer in an attempt to disarm the officer," [the prosecutor] said. The officer, "fearing for his life," the prosecutor said, shot Mr. Gaymon once, and he died at the hospital three hours later.
Gaymon was the fifth person shot by Essex County police in the past month.

is short on long term play value but kids who really,
really loved the movie will probably enjoy most of
what the game has to offer. by
Vaughn Smith
17, 2006 - Zathura
the game is based on Zathura the movie, released late
last fall. Written by Chris Van Allsburg (Jumanji,
Polar Express) Zathura takes what should be a normal
everyday occurance and turns it into a fantastic adventure.
At least on paper.
tale begins innocently enough when brothers Danny
and Walter find themselves in their creepy basement
and locate a dusty old board game called Zathura.
A flip of the card reveals 'meteor shower' and low
and behold, meteors begin smashing through their home
causing them to run for cover. Fast forward the story
a bit and it becomes apparent that the boys aren't
in Kansas anymore...if the infinite chasm of space
appearing outside their front door is any indication.
The boys are a long way from home and find themselves
surrounded by robots and a menacing alien race known
as the Zorgons and so the adventure begins in their
quest to get back to earth safely.
this 3D platforming action game, you'll play as brothers
Danny and Walter and will eventually take control
of an enemy turned ally robot who prefers to attack
with firepower in contrast to the boys melee and weaker
weapon attacks. Obviously aimed at the younger set,
Zathura is a companion piece offered to moviegoers
who had their imaginations tickled in theaters watching
the events unfold. Unfortunately though, the level
of difficulty in the game is quite inconsistent, ranging
from very easy to frustrating (due to some platforming
challenges) but is primarily easy and shouldn't be
too challenging for the intended audience.
playable character is given their own particular levels
which means you won't have the added playability of
discovering the right one for the job. While the characters
tend to control similarly each has their own distinct
move set. Danny is armed with a slingshot with an
infinite supply of moon rock ammo (other ammo can
be obtained) and a really weak kick move. Early on
Walter will locate a robotic arm which he can use
as a melee attack and he's also been granted the responsiblity
of being more able-bodied and will have to contend
with far more platforming challenges such as rope
hanging and pole swinging. The Robot is the most powerful
for obvious reasons and comes factory equipped with
lasers, a powered shot (must be charged) and has a
higher jumping ability.
platforming jumps aside, most of Zathura's levels
involve hitting buttons which open doorways to other
levels while avoiding enemies. The idea of avoiding
enemies is far easier than actually taking the time
to fight enemies and once young gamers grasp that
concept, it shouldn't take too long to reach the end
of the game - which can take about 4 hours tops depending
on skill level thanks mostly in part to infinite lives
and respawning in the same spot you died. Since enemies
tend to drop health you will have to stand and fight
sometimes simply to collect some health lost due to
cheapshots. Oddly enough, the plaforming challenges
which can be frustrating are often completely fast
forwarded by dying and then being revived beyond where
the challenge took place.
does a nice job of capturing the essence of the movie,
but doesn't quite excite on a visual scale. Textures
are bland, character models are average (although
the Zorgons stand out as well as the couple of bosses)
and the environments are largely forgettable and unimpressive;
in short Zathura is pretty generic. Where Zathura
does manage to elevate the experience is when the
game goes beyond the movie providing a little more
depth to the already shallow storyline. The music
is standard action fare and it's surprisingly good.
The two actors from the movie provided the voices
for their game counterparts and it at least ties the
two products together. Hey, give the kids a break;
it was probably a kick for them to record their lines
for the game.
Zathura is a full priced game with the least amount
of play value I've seen in recent memory. An average
gamer would get through this adventure in a few short
hours which means for goodness sakes, rent this one
if you're itching to play the movie.

The Trevor Project honored Jane Lynch Sunday at TrevorLive, a star-studded gala at the Palladium Theatre in Los Angeles, with its prestigious Trevor Hero Award for her work promoting visibility and acceptance of LGBT youth.
Hosted by comedian Kathy Griffin, the evening featured performances by Adam Lambert, Amber Riley, Cheyenne Jackson, Megan Hilty, Sia, the cast of Glee, and more, who turned out to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Trevor Project and its lifesaving mission of providing suicide prevention services to LGBT young people. Adam White, a senior at Brigham Young University and a member of the organization's Youth Advisory Committee, and Toyota also received awards for their advocacy.
"I would love this moment to be falsely modest and say that I am no hero," Lynch said upon accepting the Trevor Hero Award. "I would love to be able to say what I do is not extraordinary. But I can't. I deserve this freakin' award."
In honor of Lynch's achievement as a Trevor Hero, The Advocate asked the stars at TrevorLive — including Griffin, Glee's Alex Newell, TrevorLive producer and director Adam Shankman, basketball star Jason Collins, Glee's Dot-Marie Jones, Bridegroom's Shane Bitney Crone, and Pretty Little Liars' Brant Daugherty — about their own heroes.
Check out their responses as well as more highlights from TrevorLive on the following pages.
Shane Bitney Crone, Bridegroom filmmaker
"George Takei is one of my heroes," said Shane Bitney Crone, standing next to his mother and sister on the red carpet. "It's amazing what he's done and how he's made a name for himself on social media and how he's using that to help so many people."
"Adam Lambert is another," added the filmmaker, whose award-winning documentary Bridegroom was recently picked up by Redbox. "He's inspired me and showed me it's OK to be who you are and [being gay] is something to be proud of. And my mom!"
Kathy Griffin, comedian and TrevorLive host
For Kathy Griffin, Jane Lynch was an obvious choice for a Trevor Hero Award. "She's the perfect spokesperson for all that Trevor represents, which is when you're hurting, reach out, get a laugh, hear a song, feel a little better," she said.
Adam White, youth advocate and Trevor Youth Innovator Honoree
"I'm so excited and so humbled to be recognized and I am proud to represent the enormous potential of LGBTQ youth who identify as religious — and of all unlikely things, as a Mormon," said White upon accepting the Trevor Youth Innovator Award at the ceremony.

"Hard punk zine "Comic Trash" presents a lot of violent & subversive drawings. Some texts are written in English." (Metro Riquet #7 about Comic Trash #3)
"This is more graphic arts than comics, though the styles vary a bit. Mostly a very punk look (indeed, some of these strips other cheerful things, as well as alienting buildings. Quite stunning, with the captions in a mix of German and English. (Factsheet Five #31 about Comic Trash #4)
Contributing artists to the first issue included Holly!?!, Fredy, Janosh, Boris Karloff, Schirbi and Super Stefan.

EXIT170 needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 30 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
We are a web developing company building websites for very diverse clients. The client we need a website design for now is a not for profit organization that runs literacy programs and events in and around Hope, BC (Canada).
We need a design for the home page and one for a normal page. The website will use icons to show the target groups of the different programs and events. We have some sample icons that we cannot (and don't want to) use. So we will need some new icons for those.
We have come up with a general lay out of what our client likes. This lay out has the building blocks that need to be present on the web site.
The client already has a logo that needs to be used in the design.
You will find the general lay out, the icons, the logo and more on http://wannaread.projectzer0.net/
The design needs to be simple (but not childish) and visually attractive to encourage people with reading difficulties to find available programs and events on the website.
We will provide frequent feed back.
-Adults looking for information on literacy (might have reading and writing difficulties)
-Partner organizations
-Funding organizations/sponsors
-Peer organizations in other districts
-A homepage design and one sub page design.
-9 icons that go well with your design and that represent the target groups of the programs and events (more info on that in the literacy icon pdf on: http://wannaread.projectzer0.net/
-Nice clean and simple (but not childish) design
-No color preference (but not businesslike)
-The main menu should not contain images/should not be graphical (should be in text)
-Please use normal fonts
-Width of design: 1000 pixels max
-The client wants photos of people of different ethnicity and age in the design. These photos should be easy to replace.
-Photos the client likes are on http://wannaread.projectzer0.net/. So please use these for your design (we will buy them once we've picked a design)
-The client also likes the photos used on this web site:
-One of the building blocks in the lay out we have provided, is a map. We have used a real map but for the lay out but we do not want to use a real map, so we need a drawn map (taking maybe just the highways as a reference). Center of the map should be Hope, BC (Canada). Also the dots on the maps are not the exact locations (but close enough). The points should be big enough to click on and do not have to be dots.
-Final version should be submitted in fully layered Photo shop format easily convertible into a functioning HTML page.
