Sorry about that! Should have checked with you before doing so.
Any chance I could clean up a bit of it, so long as we deem it unimportant? Would rather clean up some of the old content from the ancient days if w can. Let me know if possible!Loading editor

Hi Foozie! Welcome to wikia! Do you want to chat!Loading editor

Hi. Just a reminder, talk pages are supposed to be for discussion on the factual outcome of an article, and as stated here, they don't work well as places to discuss personal opinions, like the message you left on Talk:Clueless Morgan. Discussions like that are more suited for forums and message boards like on Muppet Central. Thanks!Loading editor
Sorry about that....
Anyway, the reason why I left that message is becuase, I wanted to know, why there is a specific reason why they aren't rebuilding a Clueless Morgan puppet. I mean, it wouldn't be too hard for them, seeing that they rebuilt larger and harder Muppets.
How are the other posts on the talk pages?Loading editor
Talk pages are used exclusively to ask questions about the article itself, such as what info to add to it/how to improve it.Loading editor

Hi. Please don't recreate The Muppet Show Cast Listing. All that information is covered elsewhere on the wiki. Thanks.Loading editor
I don't recreate pages that get deleted. If you delete them. Then I get the message that it's not needed.
I see a lot of red flags go up here. I think this is one of the scrictest wikis I've ever seen. I upload a bunch on pictures, and I get a message, "Why did you upload these pictures? Some of them have already been uploloaded." Although it wasn't rudely said or anything, I just don't get it. Does it take up room. Am I wasting Cyberspace?. (There's no such thing).
But this case. There are no pages with puppeteers and what they perfrom. A person like me comes on this wiki and wants to see what certain performers perform. For example, I want to see ALL the puppets that Frank Oz performed on Sesame Street. But there's no page like that. I have to try to figure out by myself.
Wocka Wocka, FoozieLoading editor
Hope that helps.Loading editor
Exactly. For the record, all Muppeteer Credits (and usually character roles) are listed at the bottom of each Muppet Performer's page. We also have Muppeteers and their characters, and while it doesn't list every performer's characters, it's visually interesting and it at least gives readers an idea of the diverse amount of Muppets they've played. With that in mind, creating a singular page that just lists every single performer's characters wouldn't be necessary since it would consist of repeated information (applying to our notability policy).
And, just to clarify, the question I asked last week was only largely out of curiosity; it wasn't really a big deal. What caught my eye was that there were a whole bunch of pictures you had uploaded, many of them looked like duplicates, so I thought I'd ask. While the norm is that any unused or unneeded pictures are deleted, I see nothing wrong with storing whichever ones you like on your user page.
To reiterate what Andrew said, feel free to ask us if your wondering if something already exists on the Wiki. I'd also recommend checking out Muppet Wiki:Things you can do to see if you can help in creating a page or adding a reference. Thanks!Loading editor

Hi, any particular reason for your recent picture uploads? A lot of them have already been uploaded on the Wiki.Loading editor

I just uploaded my whole "Muppet" picture folder. Some of them I took from Muppet Central.
I actually didn't want to put ALL of them up, I just wanted to put the Sam as Captain America one. You can delete a few of them if it really makes a diffrence.Loading editor
Okay, just making sure. As a side note, the pic with Sam as Captain America was already uploaded a while ago and is featured on both the Sam the Eagle and Marvel pages. Also, I'm not sure if the Captain America page you created is necessary, as it's content is that one parody poster which is also noted elsewhere. I'll bring it up on the talk page for discussion though.Loading editor
I noticed there's a page on The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo. Why is that neccesary?Loading editor
That's a good point. I guess maybe because it's a film that isn't associated to anything as closely as Captain America is with Marvel. That's my best argument. Still, I might check into redirecting that page as well, so thanks for bringing that up.Loading editor
Basically, it's because we already covered all of the Captain America info on Marvel Comics, where any and all Marvel comics with just one reference are covered (those with more extensive involvement, like Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk, get their own pages) and we've used the same policy in approaching other stuff (for example, references on The Walt Disney Company). For The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, there's the poster and a trailer spoof, so two items, and nowhere else to put it. So basically that's the distinction, that we try not to duplicate info which already is or can be housed on other pages (we've often merged pages to provide the most effective coverage). Alfred Hitchcock covers all the references to his films, but Grumpy Old Men gets its own page.Loading editor
Okay, but then Green Latern and The Hangover needs their own pages too.
(Which is what \i was trying to do yesterday but my computer kept crashing.)
Anyway \i'll make those pages.Loading editor
Never mind, it seems you already made them. Was this done last night? I do not remember seeing these yesterday when I searched them.Loading editor
Green Lantern is covered on DC Comics. And we have The Hangover: Part II. It can be tricky, I know, but you might check Category:Movie References first to see if anything is already covered, and also consider if there's a larger group where the item might fall (Marvel, DC, Disney, Hitchcock, William Shakespeare though a few have been broken off, Jane Austen, etc.)Loading editor
OK. I see my page has been re-directed. That's fine with me.Loading editor
And no, they've been there awhile (Green Lantern since November), but sometimes search engine can be tricky or a matter of using the right string. If you need help finding anything, or want to know if something already exists, feel free to ask an admin (or start a conversation on Category talk:Movie References). It takes awhile to get the hang of things, and we have our own way of organizing things (in general, Category:References is the umbrella category for any spoofs or references the Muppets do of other stuff; Category:Muppet Mentions is for when other shows or people spoof or reference Muppets, like The Simpsons). For both DC and Marvel, it's happened both ways, which is why we keep them on the same page unless we have multiple references where it would make more sense to split off. Hope this helps!
And yeah, redirects when a page covers multiple related titles are always good, since we do want people to find things (we may try using anchored links, like we do on some pages, at some point, to go straight to the reference). So give us a heads up if you think of other examples like that. Thanks for the help!Loading editor

I didn't want you to be discouraged that we deleted your page for the "pass it on" billboards. The information is actually already on the wiki with The Foundation for a Better Life. Also remember to keep any of your edits at a neutral point of view! :)Loading editor

I don't get it, I'm checking the Wanted Pages page and I was going to make a page on Cartoon Network, since it says it's wanted there. But then I finf out it was previously deleted several times. Are these pages wanted or not?Loading editor
Basically, Wanted Pages means something is redlinked. But in the case of Cartoon Network, it was deleted ut the redlinks weren't removed. Also, the last deletion in fact was never discussed. Still, the only major connection was that they co-produced and aired Big Bag, and a couple pilots were announced and never aired. That was it. There's a discussion on Talk:Sci Fi which discusses when to create a page for a network.
Wanted Pages isn't a list we create or control, it's automatically generated. On the other hand, in most cases it *is* because nobody got around to it. So if it has been deleted, the links should be removed. If it was never created and is linked on pages and it's clear there's actual info to create (about a character or actor, beyond just a sentence or basic summaries already included on other pages), then feel free to create. That probably sounds more complicated than it is. But generally, if you're interested in making a page, go ahead, and if you're not sure if it belongs, create a talk page ([[Talk:Page name]]). Since talk pages aren't something casual visitors go to when they click "Random page" or through other links, it's okay to park info or ask "Is this enough info for a page?" there. We've done it often.
I hope this helps!Loading editor
Great, I'll create the page later if you think I should. I'll check out the other ones too. Muppets do have a lot of connections with Cartoon Network so I see no reason not to create a page.
Wocka Wocka
FoozieLoading editor
I'd raise it on the talk page first for Cartoon Network, since as I indicated, we've increasingly stopped creating pages for networks just because of connections (we don't have a Comedy Central page either, nor do we really need it). I personally have no problem with recreating it (I'm not the one who deleted it) but it's also not a huge loss since the main relevant fact (that they co-produced and aired Big Bag) is on the Big Bag page. Bring it up for discussion and we can see what the consensus is.
But for anything else, go ahead. A good tip is to check how many pages link to a page. Usually (unless as in some cases, it's a user page or sandbox page which was deleted when the issue was resolved, but never unlinked or redirected) the more pages that link to something, the more likely the page is indeed wanted and it's just that nobody got around to it.Loading editor

The COSCO Busan incident refers to a large oil spill that took place on November 7, 2007 between Oakland and San Francisco, California. At approximately 8:30 am local time, the container ship COSCO Busan struck a tower (Delta) of the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge. The collision caused over 53,500 gallons of IFO-380 heavy fuel oil to be released into the San Francisco Bay.
A state of emergency was declared by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger met with federal, state and local officials involved with the clean up. The state of emergency allowed access to additional funding, equipment and state personnel to assess and clean up the environmental damage.
After a thorough investigation of all factors involved with the accident, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the following were the factors that contributed to the incident:
Pilot John Cota performance and judgment were impaired from the use of prescription pharmaceuticals and ignoring many health hints. His impaired performance interfered with his ability to use the onboard radar and electronic maps correctly. Cota was later sentenced to federal prison for ten months.
Ineffective communications between the ship and the Vessel Traffic Service of the US Coast Guard. Additionally, there was deemed to be a lack of sufficient communication between the Pilot (John Cota) and Master Mao Cai Sun leading up to the accident. The investigation also revealed poor oversight of Cota by Sun.
Fleet Management, LTD which operated the COSCO Busan was also found to have contributed to the incident by failing to properly train and monitor the vessel's crew. Recommendations were made for e-Learning and mobile learning solutions. Specifically, the crew was found to have not properly understood and comply with the company's safety management system.
Caltran was deemed at fault because of their failure to maintain foghorns on the bridge, which were silent despite the heavy fog.
The COSCO Busan was also found to have a radar that was not working. This led to the use of an electronic chart. Captain Sun was also found to have incorrectly identified symbols on the electronic chart and inappropriate use.
Finally, the US Coast Guard provided inadequate medical oversight of Cota considering the medical information he reported to the Coast Guard.
A federal grand jury indicted Fleet Management Ltd on July 23, 2008. Fleet Management, based in Hong Kong, was the company that operated the COSCO Busan. The indictment covered 6 felonies accusing the company of falsifying documents involved in the federal investigation. Numerous misdemeanors were also cited involving criminal negligence for causing the spill. Officials noted that training and education were a factor in the incident. For more information, please visit this site.
Pilot John Cota negotiated a plea agreement with prosecutors regarding the charges for federal water pollution and migratory bird charges. On July 10, 2009 he was sentenced to 10 months in federal prison.
Environmental Impact
The spilled heavy fuel spread rapidly due to the tidal mechanics of the San Francisco Bay. Ultimately, a large area of the California North Coast was affected, including: Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Ocean Beach,Marin Headlands, Crissy Field, Fort Point, Baker Beach, China Beach and Kirby Cove.
2,519 birds were identified to have been killed by the incident, according to the California Department of Fish and Game. 1,084 birds were collected alive, of which 664 ultimately died and 421 were rehabilitated and released. The remaining 1,856 birds were collected already dead. Approximately 200 miles of coastline were covered in oil which also caused other impact such as seal deaths, and the deaths of the eggs laid by herring.

Ay, robots!: Sky Captain flies but doesn't soar
The good news about Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is that the tail doesn't wag the dog. With everything but the principal actors and a few props being created or assembled in the computer, there was danger of the process overwhelming the product.
The technique is impressive, all right. A major geekfest. The ultimate version of what thousands of teenage boys are working on in their basements so obsessively they sometimes forget to jerk off. Writer-director Kerry Conran has created a visual feast that looks like no other film.
The combination of live actors and animation (plus some animé-inspired robotics) suggests a computer-age version of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but the genre is different. Set in 1939, it seeks to capture the look and spirit of Saturday matinee serials of the period– or what they would have looked like if they'd had a bigger budget than an Ed Wood production.
What keeps Sky Captain from being as much fun as the Indiana Jones movies is the casting of Jude Law in the lead. Law brushes his teeth with more intensity than most of us show making love.
He's Joe Sullivan– a.k.a. Sky Captain– leader of an "army for hire" and the last hope of the world when the disappearance of several scientists is tied to a plot to destroy the planet.
Also on the case in search of a story is intrepid reporter Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow), who's summoned by the last of the scientists to a 6pm meeting that's later said to have taken place in the morning as three days' worth of events are compressed into one. Computers will never replace good continuity people. Well, they will, because they work cheaper. But they won't do the job as well.
But I digress. The meeting takes place at Radio City Music Hall during a showing of The Wizard of Oz, clips from which make a delightful background. Jane Monheit reprises "Over the Rainbow" behind the closing credits.
When Polly leaves the theater, New York is attacked by flying robots in a scene that looks good even if it doesn't have much relevance to the actual plot, which it sets in motion.
Polly and Joe, who have some romantic history, hook up to investigate. The trail leads to Shambala– a.k.a. Shangri-La– in Nepal, and from there to the private island of Dr. Totenkopf. His name (translation: Deadhead) is an in-joke reference to the "casting" of the late Laurence Olivier in the role, which amounts to about 15 seconds of a jittery hologram with no effort to match his lip movements to the new dialogue being read by another actor.
Although she receives third billing, Angelina Jolie doesn't appear for over an hour and doesn't have much of a role. Some will find her leather uniform (with matching eye patch) sexy, but since she's supposed to be romantic competition for Polly, it seems inevitable that she will remove her cap and let her hair down. It never happens.
If you're going to have fun with this thing, the hero should be loose like Harrison Ford's Indy or stiff like Adam West's Batman. Law is just intense, and it doesn't work. Perhaps that's why a lot of the emphasis is shifted to Polly, which would normally be a secondary role. We know Paltrow can look good in period clothes– she won an Oscar for doing it– but she also manages to have fun with the part. Enough for one but, alas, not for two.
The retro look, including toned-down color, is the best thing about Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. The script would be serviceable with the right actors. (Maybe Ben Affleck will do the sequel, freeing Law to be the new Daredevil?) The way the filming technique is used, it doesn't constantly call attention to itself, which is how it should be.
So a split decision. Sky Captain flies but doesn't soar. It's not as good as it might have been, but it's not a waste of your time and money either.

Saints Waive Kicker Garrett Hartley, Sign Shayne Graham
Following another bad performance on Sunday, kicker Garrett Hartley has been released by the New Orleans Saints.
Hartley will best be remembered for his game-winning overtime field goal kick in the 2009 NFC Championship game, sending the the Saints to the Super Bowl.
He's had a topsy-turvy ride with New Orleans, missing significant time on injured reserve, serving a 4-game drug suspension in 2009, and playing sporadic throughout his career. He originally signed with New Orleans midway through the 2008 season.
New Orleans also waived cornerback Chris Carr today.
Shayne Graham has been signed to replace Hartley. Graham was one of five kickers who tried out for the Saints last month when Hartley was struggling. Graham was actually a member of the New Orleans Saints during the 2000 preseason was an undrafted rookie free agent. At 36 years old, he's been a member of 14 different NFL rosters in his career.

multipleprojects necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 16 diseños de 4 diseñadores freelance.
Medical-Aesthetic Laser Solutions
I provide doctors with medical/aesthetic lasers and I help them set up their marketing campaigns. This project will help us get a doctor started with double-sided postcards and tri-fold brochures promoting their new laser procedures. Additional work will inevitably come available to the winner of this contest, as our clients will also desire new web pages, new business cards, etc.
The brochures and post cards will be provided in the doctor's waiting room and will be mailed to the patients on his mailing list. This very first design will be directed to podiatry patients in need of warts removed from their feet, treatment of toenail fungus, elimination of lesions and growths, and removal of unsightly veins on their ankles and lower legs, and even some removal of hair from the patient's toes and ankles and lower legs.
The doctors (initially foot and ankle doctors) would be using these to promote their new laser procedures to their patients, initially inviting them to an introductory open house, but then simply promoting the procedures on an ongoing basis.
I need an attractive layered Photoshop file for an oversized double-sided post card and the same design elements worked into a tri-fold (8.5" x 11") brochure, so I can then go into Photoshop and customize each according to the doctor I am working with.
You can see the 8.5" x 5.47" postcard particulars here (and download a Photoshop template):
And you can see the tri-fold brochure specs here:
The initial designs should match and use the same elements:
One or more stock images — two options are attached to the project.
The Fotona Laser logo — brochure attached to project.
A placeholder for the doctor's logo or practice name — attached.
Optional: laser image — attached.
You can use information from this site for your mock-up. This will be one of our first clients to use these postcards and brochures:
"The Headline Will Go Here" (should draw attention)
"The Subheadline Will Go Here"
"The 1st Paragraph of Content Will Go Here"
"Bullet 1" "Bullet 2" "Bullet 3" "Bullet 4" (each will likely cover one procedure they are able to provide)
"The Call to Action Will Go Here" (maybe also a clear "Call to RSVP!")
"Contact Phone Number" (should be very clear and draw attention)
"Website Address"
"Physical Address Info"
Optional: small-font doctor credentials paragraph.

Living forwards, understanding backwards
Nicholas F Phin
Health Protection Services, 61 Colindale Avenue, London, NW9 5EQ, England (e-mail: email@example.com)
It has been said that pandemics are lived forwards and understood backwards. The 2009 influenza pandemic is no exception. The identification of the new influenza virus strain in the United States of America coincided with many media reports describing a very severe pneumonia affecting young Mexican adults echoes of 1918! Hard data were sparse and quoted case fatality rates ranged from 0.3% to 2.5% of confirmed cases as late as September 2009. With the benefit of hindsight it is easy to say that the disease caused by the virus was in fact mild for most people and that this action or that action should have been taken. However, in real time with little reliable data on the effects of the virus on individuals and communities and faced with the need to make time-critical decisions, sovereign nations across the world responded differently. It is important to remember that the World Health Organization (WHO) remit is to help governments determine the level of interventions required as part of their response to threats to international health.
Unfortunately, the fact that WHO issued revised pandemic guidance just as the pandemic was starting generated confusion. Under the new guidance,1 pandemic phases 4 to 6 differed significantly from the 2005 guideline document,2 and this made communication difficult.
Individuals have made great play of the change to the wording of one sentence that was part of a 60-page document before phase 6 (the so-called start of the pandemic) was declared. In fact, in several places the WHO 2009 guidance document describes phases 5 to 6 as the pandemic period and clearly states that "during phases 56 (pandemic) actions shift from preparedness to response at a global level." From this it can be argued that the pandemic was actually declared on 29 April 2009, five days before the quoted change in definition.
In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, a new national influenza pandemic strategy was published for consultation on 22 March 2011.3 This has taken on board many of the lessons learned during the 2009 pandemic. However, the strategy still recognizes the need for an initially precautionary approach, given the speed with which the virus can spread and the paucity of data that will be available at the start of a pandemic, although it states that proportionality and flexibility should guide the response as information about the virus and its effects become available. The strategy is now better adapted to the needs of the United Kingdom and is proposing a new phased response that is not linked to the WHO phases. This reflects the fact that in the United Kingdom the first cases were detected in late April 2009 and that using the WHO phases, which are global indicators of spread, proved to be unhelpful.
Peter Doshi highlights the lack of a definition of a pandemic.4 There is also no definition of a pandemic wave or severity, both key issues when it comes to describing the progress and impact of a pandemic. I don't believe this reflects a lack of willingness to formulate such definitions, but rather, a lack of international consensus stemming from the absence of key data and the recognition that severity, impact and other descriptors can only be applied with certainty historically.

Most of us traverse the environment by walking. Not Michael "Frosti" Zernow — he prefers to vault, flip and catapult his way from A to B.
The Santa Monica-based professional parkour athlete and instructor has 10-plus years of experience, and it shows: The man defies gravity when in motion.
Parkour is a discipline developed in France that involves smoothly navigating over and around obstacles like walls, stairs and trees with jumps, climbs and acrobat-like moves. Zernow makes it look effortless, but it takes practice and discipline if you don't want to smack a wall, graze your knees on asphalt or otherwise end up at your local urgent care clinic. Once you've got the skills, parkour (also called free-running) is a blast you can do almost anywhere.
Since some moves can be tricky and require a level of athleticism, you may want professional instruction at the outset (classes are available at Tempest Freerunning Academy in Chatsworth, tempestacademy.com). But here's an easy, explosive move — called a tic-tac — to get you started.
Why you should try it: Because it's fun. A tic-tac is usually done to jump over an obstacle and can help you climb higher. It instills body control, essential for parkour. The major muscles of the legs and core get a workout since they keep the body stable as it flies through the air.
What to do: Pick a spot on a wall, sturdy tree or lamppost that is at a comfortable and achievable height. Take a short running start and step onto the spot with the leg that's closest, putting your weight into it. Then push off with the same leg, like a billiard ball ricocheting off the side of a pool table.
Extend the other leg out for the landing, but don't just settle for any random landing spot — pick a specific place on the ground, and turn to face it to help guide your body there. Land on the balls of the feet, with knees bent, to avoid injuring the joints.
How much to do: Begin with one to two tic-tacs at a time, making sure you work both sides of the body. As you get stronger and more confident, add more.

Hello again friends. I hope you are having a good week so far. Today I am going to show you how to take a plain lamp shade and cover it with fabric to jazz it up.
Here was my lamp before. It's a simple lamp with a super simple shade.
Nothing extraordinary going on here so I wanted give it a little life but I didn't want to buy a new shade for it since this one was in excellent condition.
What's a girl to do? Find some extra fabric I had lying around the house and cover my existing lamp shade with it. (HINT: I used a thinner fabric for this project. It was just easier to work with than a thicker indoor/outdoor kind of fabric)
First you want cut your fabric. Lay you fabric out on a flat space then lay your lamp shade over the fabric so that you know how much you need to cut. I cut the fabric so that there was and inch overlap at the top and bottom. Also if you notice my shade is thinner at the top than the bottom. So what you want to do is cute the fabric in a crest shape so that it fits a little better. (if you don't get the crest shape cut right it's ok, you can cut the excess fabric off later)
Now we are ready you attach the fabric to the shade. There are a few ways to do this but I chose to use a hot glue gun since that's what I had on hand. I made a glue line along the shade seam and attached one side of the fabric. I pressed down over the fabric to smooth it out.
Now for the other end, I folded the rough seam over to make a nice clean edge and glued that in place. I then glued that nice seam over the edge that is already glued to the shade. Make sure the fabric is nice and taught and then glue it down over the seam.
So now we are ready to deal with the edges. First I cut the excess fabric down to about a 1/4″. Just cut around the perimeter so you are left with this.
Then I tucked those edges under and glued them on the inside of the shade. This males a nice clean line.
That's it! This took me maybe 10 minutes and I completely changed the look of this lamp with things I had already lying around my house. If you don't have these things lying around your house, you can always get scrap fabric at your local fabric store for a discounted price and you can always find lamps and shades at Goodwill, thrift stores and yard sales for a great price. Don't forget you can always paint the lamp base if you don't like too like I did here.
Have a great day!

The team's top two draft picks, defensive tackle Dominique Easley and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, aren't in attendance at Friday's session. Easley is recovering from the knee injury he suffered last year at Florida, while Garoppolo is attending a conference for rookies in Los Angeles.
FOXBORO – The Patriots were lacking something at Friday's organized team activity on the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium.
Their one-two punch.
First-round draft pick Dominique Easley and second-round choice Jimmy Garoppolo were among the no-shows.
Easley, it's believed, was missing because he is still rehabbing from the non-contact right knee injury suffered in practice that limited him to three games in the defensive line at the University of Florida last season.
Garoppolo was given a pass.
The rookie quarterback from Eastern Illinois was three time zones away in Los Angeles, among a group of rookies selected to attend the NFL Players Association 20th annual Rookie Premiere being held in L.A. from Thursday through Saturday.
According to an NFLPA press release: "Throughout the event, players will gain information to assist in the development careers. The union's annual orientation includes seminars focused on financial planning, brand building, group player rights, and social media best practices."
The press release lists 40 rookies who were scheduled to attend the event.
Asa Watson, the Patriots' rookie free-agent tight end out of North Carolina State, was also on the list of attendees.
Among the team's draft picks, fourth rounder Cameron Fleming, an offensive tackle from Stanford, was also absent from Friday's OTA. NFL rules prohibit Fleming from practicing with the Patriots until his class graduates.
Brady hasn't changed: Patriots offensive coordinator-quarterbacks coach Josh McDaniels says Tom Brady hasn't changed a bit.
"He's early in the building, he's working really hard," said McDaniels. "He's been accurate. He's definitely the leader of our group on offense and he's competing hard. That's really a great example for the rest of our guys on offense."
Key dates in June: The Patriots' first week of organized team activities (sessions were held on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) is now behind them.
Subsequent OTAs are scheduled for June 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, 12 and 13.
The team's minicamp is set for June 17-19.

Green, Ha, & Bullock (2010) critique mediation analyses in social science research:
Given the strong requirements in terms of model specification and measurement, the enterprise of "opening the black box" or "exploring causal pathways" using endogenous mediators is largely a rhetorical exercise.
But what is social science anyway? To what extent can we find the "truth" about complex social systems that involve agents with free will and myriad complex, interlinked influences on them?
Perhaps social science is just rhetoric of an advanced sort, carefully constructed arguments based on theory, prior research, data analysis and hunches that describe how the world might work. Over time, some of these arguments are shown to be false, so (ideally) we fix the story up and make it better fit what we've observed and what we can deduce from the build-up of evidence and argument so far.
An example from the psychology of narrative identity processing
Pals' (2006) study of narrative identity processing and adult development is an example of mediation analysis as advanced rhetoric. Here's the abstract:
Difficult life experiences in adulthood constitute a challenge to the narrative construction of identity. Individual differences in how adults respond to this challenge were conceptualized in terms of two dimensions of narrative identity processing: exploratory narrative processing and coherent positive resolution. These dimensions, coded from narratives of difficult experiences reported by the women of the Mills Longitudinal Study (Helson, 1967) at age 52, were expected to be related to personality traits and to have implications for pathways of personality development and physical health. First, the exploratory narrative processing of difficult experiences mediated the relationship between the trait of coping openness in young adulthood (age 21) and the outcome of maturity in late midlife (age 61). Second, coherent positive resolution predicted increasing ego-resiliency between young adulthood and midlife (age 52), and this pattern of increasing ego-resiliency, in turn, mediated the relationship between coherent positive resolution and life satisfaction in late midlife. Finally, the integration of exploratory narrative processing and coherent positive resolution predicted positive self-transformation within narratives of difficult experiences. In turn, positive self-transformation uniquely predicted optimal development (composite of maturity and life satisfaction) and physical health.
This study was correlational, so that's the first reason that strict causalists would dispose of it. It also studied mediation, so even if it were some sort of randomized experiment, there would be questions about its suggestions of causality. But the researcher doesn't just run the mediational analysis and then declare that she's shown what she wanted to show. She places the correlational findings in the context of theory and makes an overall argument for her hypothesis while noting the limitations of the approach:
A second limitation of this study is that although the hypotheses reflect theoretically driven ideas about cause-effect relations (e.g., coping openness stimulates exploratory narrative processing; coherent positive resolution leads to increased ego-resiliency), the correlational design did not allow for analyses that would support conclusive statements regarding causality. The longitudinal findings were consistent with causal patterns unfolding over time but did not prove them. Thus, an important direction for future research on narrative identity processing will be to examine its causal impact, ideally through studies that closely examine the connection between changes in narrative identity and changes in relevant outcomes. In one recent study, for example, individuals who wrote about a traumatic experience for several days displayed an increase in self-reported personal growth and self-acceptance, whereas those who wrote about trivial topics did not show this pattern of positive self-transformation (Hemenover, 2003). This finding supports the idea that when people fully engage in the narrative processing of a difficult experience, their understanding of themselves and their lives may transform in ways that will make them more mature, resilient, and satisfied with their lives. Findings such as these reflect the growing view that the narrative interpretation of past experiences—the cornerstone of narrative identity—constitutes one way adults may intentionally guide development and bring about change in their lives (Bauer et al., 2005).
Is this research useful even if causality and mediation has not been proven? I think it is. We don't know for sure which way causality runs among the various traits and behaviors studied (it probably runs in multiple directions) but Pals makes a good argument that someone with coping openness may engage in exploratory narrative processing of difficult life events and this, in turn, may drive a maturing process. In the second mediational hypothesis, she argues that developing coherent positive resolutions in that narrative processing of life events might lead to increased ego-resiliency. Are these analyses and arguments of practical use? I think yes.
The remembering self creates stories and needs those stories to make sense of experience. Research like Pals (2006) gives insight into what sort of stories might be most useful in leading towards maturity and psychological resiliency:
- Development of the stories should use an open and exploratory style rather than closed and defensive.
- The ending of the story should reflect some sort of positive resolution.
So mediation analysis, even of the non-experimental sort, can be useful. Okay so maybe it's not like the scientific finding that lack of Vitamin C causes scurvy, but that doesn't make it useless or unscientific.
Philosophers of science would have something more sophisticated to say about this. My point is that science doesn't happen exactly according to the "scientific method" you learned in high school. In many ways it is just advanced rhetoric that's (ideally) grounded in careful analysis, thoughtful theorizing, and an understanding of prior research.

May 20th – August 15th, 2019
Opening Thursday May 23rd, 2019 / 5:30-8pm
The Yard, Williamsburg
33 Nassau Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11222
Kirstin Lamb Curatorial and The Yard, Williamsburg are pleased to present a twenty-eight person show featuring artists utilizing dot forms as marks. Collectively this group forms a larger conversation around mark making and image-making.
The dot is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "a round mark or small spot" but also "used to refer to an object because it is far away." Dot is alternatively defined as a verb "to mark with a small spot or spots," "be scattered over," "mark" or "hit." Dots are the literal vocabulary of much artwork, its consummate parts, and also a way of describing how the thing is made. Short, staccato, yet implying accumulation even if there is only one, a dot showcases repetition and a kind of community response to craft.
This show grew out of a conversation had in a gallery in metro Boston, Room 83 Spring, run by Cathleen Daley and Ellen Wineberg. Artists Liza Bingham, Zehra Khan, Cathleen Daley and Kirstin Lamb started discussing the ways in which mark making, specifically the dot, spoke about our larger practices. In a moment when we can struggle to delineate ourselves as apart from one another aesthetically and struggle to define ourselves as a coalition politically, it felt comforting to agree upon this one basic, the dot as foundational building block – something to be accumulated and appreciated.
There is a kind of elemental quality to repeated mark and repeated touch. It is a to nod forbears in folk and aboriginal art, meditative or religious practice, and self taught and visionary work. The show references historic dotted works such as Impressionist Georges Seurat's visual displays, Larry Poon's gridded projectiles, the elegant repetition in the work of the Pattern and Decoration painters like Miriam Schapiro and Joyce Kozloff, and Roy Lichtenstein's ben-day Pop icons among many others.
In all, the works gathered serve less as a polemic, but rather a gathering. Conference is used lightly in the title, to serve as a meeting of artists and a meeting of mark making, a kind of comparison and accumulation of approaches.
Hours for the Yard, Williamsburg
Monday-Friday 9:30am – 4:30pm and by appointment

Man charged in N.Y. crash that killed couple, baby
NEW YORK (AP) — A man arrested in connection with a car crash that killed a rabbinical college student, his pregnant wife and their baby was charged Thursday with criminally negligent homicide and other offenses.
Julio Acevedo was arraigned before a judge Thursday night in state Supreme Court in Brooklyn wearing a white T-Shirt, light blue hooded sweat shirt black sneakers. He was ordered held without bail.
Acevedo was also charged with three counts of assault and leaving the scene of an accident.
Judge Stephen Antignani granted an order of protection to a livery driver who was involved in the accident and suspended Acevedo's driver's license.
Acevedo had arrived in New York earlier Thursday after agreeing to be returned from Pennsylvania, where he had surrendered to police in the parking lot of a Bethlehem convenience store a day earlier.
Acevedo was accused of barreling down a Brooklyn street at 60 mph early Sunday and crashing into a hired car carrying Nachman and Raizy Glauber, who were on their way to a hospital.
The Glaubers, both 21, died Sunday. Their son, delivered by cesarean section, died Monday of extreme prematurity due to blunt-force injuries to his mother, who was seven months pregnant and was thrown from the hired car, the city medical examiner's office said.
The hired car that had been carrying them had a stop sign, though it's unclear whether the driver stopped. The driver was knocked unconscious.
At an appearance in Pennsylvania, Acevedo, 44, told Judge Kelly Banach that he had finished the 11th grade, was unemployed and lives in Brooklyn with his mother. He wore an orange jumpsuit and was shackled at the ankles and wrists.
His surrender was brokered by a friend who had been in touch with police earlier Wednesday. The friend met officers at New York's Grand Central Terminal and led them to Acevedo in Bethlehem, about 80 miles away, police said. The friend had told police that Acevedo would surrender after consulting an attorney, but there wasn't one with him when he turned himself in, police said.
Acevedo told the Daily News that he was fleeing a gunman who was trying to shoot at him when his borrowed BMW slammed into the Glaubers' hired car. He told the newspaper he fled because he was worried he would be killed. But police said there were no reports of shots fired in the area at the time of the wreck.
The couple belonged to a close-knit ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn, which is home to the largest community of ultra-Orthodox Jews outside Israel, more than 250,000. They were members of the Satmar Hasidic sect.
Nachman Glauber, whose family founded a line of clothing for Orthodox Jews, was studying at a rabbinical college. Raizy Glauber grew up in a prominent rabbinical family.
The couple's son was buried Monday near their graves, a community spokesman said. About a thousand community members turned out for the couple's funeral a day earlier.

|Drug: Dasatinib Other: Pharmacological Study
|Phase 1
I. To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of dasatinib in patients with varying degrees of hepatic impairment.
II. To estimate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of this drug in patients with varying degrees of hepatic impairment.
III. To assess the safety profile and dose-limiting toxicities (if any) of dasatinib in patients with varying degrees of hepatic impairment.
I. To describe any antitumor efficacy associated with dasatinib administration in patients with varying degrees of hepatic impairment.
II. To examine whether the pharmacokinetic clearance of dasatinib correlates with hepatic function as assessed by Child-Pugh Criteria, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Organ Dysfunction Working Group Criteria, or other assessments of liver function.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive dasatinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 28 days.

Correlative studies
- Maximum tolerated dose of dasatinib, defined as the highest dose level at which less than 33% of 6-9 evaluable patients experience dose-limiting toxicity [ Time Frame: 28 days ]Toxicity will be graded according to the NCI CTCAE v3.0.
- Pharmacokinetic parameters of dasatinib [ Time Frame: Days 1 and 8 of course 1 ]Area under curve (AUC)(to infinity), AUC(to 24 hours), and maximum concentration (Cmax) analyzed in the natural log scale. For each PK parameter, the mean difference between the recommended dose for a liver impairment group and the normal liver function group dosed at 140 mg OD (equivalent to ratios of geometric means in the non-log scale) will be tested against 0 at a one-sided 0.05 significance level to detect an increase in the liver impairment group (equivalent to a 2-sided 90% confidence interval).
- Liver dysfunction data [ Time Frame: Baseline ]The Child-Pugh classification (CPC), NCI Organ Dysfunction Working Group (ODWG) Stratification Criteria for all patients will be collected at baseline and correlated to the toxicities and pharmacokinetic data seen with dasatinib in an exploratory analysis. Clearance estimates for each liver impairment group based upon the NCI ODWG Criteria, CPC Scheme, will be correlated with drug clearance. Ultimately, the predictive value of these various different methods of grouping organ dysfunction patients will be compared to determine if any method is better able to predict dasatinib clearance.

Broken Sounds
We are a collective of iPhone software developers who have been building confidential, private label apps for clients for as long as the SDK has been out (in some cases, longer).
Our upcoming iPhone app, gogoDocs, is a labor of love - an experiment and a calling card we can finally distribute under our brand name and point to publicly.
gogoDocs allows you to synch. and view all your Google Docs documents on your iPhone. It's not the first app. out that lets you do this, but we're pretty sure it will be the best.
Our target market is pretty broad since our application complements Google Docs, which is pretty general purpose.
So on the one hand, we would like customers relying on the app for daily use or business to trust it. On the other hand, anyone relying significantly on Google Docs is probably somewhat forward thinking and gets the spirit of modern web applications and independently produced software.
Our target audience is (by definition) early adopters who like using cloud-based tools. They are hyper-connected, already have a ton of apps on their phone, and are looking for the next cool, useful thing.
In the tradition of useful indie utilities, we are looking for something polished and well-executed that conveys a little bit of fun. See for example Panic software's excellent app. icons for their amazing Mac utilities: http://www.panic.com/
The name 'gogoDocs' is inspired by three ideas:
* Evocative of Google Docs, which the app. complements
* Speaks to the portability gained by using the application to take your documents with you
* Reminds us of the old Inspector Gadget cartoon catchphrase "Go Go Gadget <gadget name>"
We could imagine a logo that's subtly inspired by the Inspector Gadget reference, something robotic or mechanical making your documents emerge (a hand, a gear, a spring?).
But maybe you have better ideas. Use your imaginations.
Please design an application icon for gogoDocs at these resolutions:
- 512x512 (app store)
- 57x57 (iPhone)
If you just resize the 512x512 icon to be 57x57, touch up any details lost in smaller icon for final submission. The 57x57 icon's appearance is the highest priority.
The icon must match iPhone UI guidelines and look good when sitting next to Apple's iPhone icons (feel free to show w/ fake screenshot). Icon should be:
* Square (content inside square can be round).
* Face the screen head on, not sideways.
* Have light source (if any) coming from top.
* Look good / visible on a black background (iPhone) and light gray (for AppStore)
We seem to be tending towards 3D objects on either a simple background or a black background that disappears so it 'floats'. We are definitely open to other styles of icon.
If it helps your design, you can simulate the shine/rounding, e.g.:
Just remember final assets need to be square (can be a non-square object on a square background) for our submission.
In addition to the final images, we'll need the PSD or illustrator file to integrate the icon into the application.
Finally, if there are any visual elements you create (such as a mechanical part), please include them separately so we can potentially reuse them elsewhere within the app.
Thanks in advance for your efforts and creative energy!
We're looking to provide good feedback.
