Experimental Conditions for Mapping Nanomechanical Properties of Live Cells with AFM
My question is in regards to the paper by Raman et al published in Nature Nanotechnology in 2011 (DOI: 10.1038/NANO.2011.186).
How does driving the cantilever in the repulsive or attractive regimes (instead of exactly at the resonant frequency) effect calculations of stiffness and damping?
Can the procedure outlined in the paper be applied to cells in media? Especially with a large concentration of serum?
Thank you in advance

Car Brake Drums
Drums might be the oldest style of brakes still in use today, but there are good reasons for that. While they might lack the dramatic stopping power of pad/disc systems, they're exceptionally durable and long lasting. However, that does not mean they're not subject to wear and tear. Brake pads must be adjusted regularly to maintain contact between the pad and the surface of the drum. Drum resurfacing is also required from time to time to ensure that the inner surface remains smooth and free of warping or other signs of wear and tear. Additionally, both brake pads and brake drums require periodic replacement. When it comes to replacing your pads and drums, Quickco has the OE and OEM replacement parts you need from top names in the industry like Mintex. Order your brakes online from Quickco and save money, time and hassle, while ensuring that you receive the automaker specific drums and pads required for your vehicle.

Franklin on Vanderbilt rape case: 'Allegations that I did something wrong are simply not true'
Attorneys for a former Vanderbilt football player accused of raping a female student are alleging then-coach James Franklin reached out to the woman days after the assault, according to reports.
The Tennessean is reporting that court documents filed Tuesday contain new allegations about interactions between the alleged victim and Franklin and Dwight Galt, now with Penn State.
The court documents allege Franklin and Galt — Penn State's director of performance enhancement — reached out to the woman four days after the alleged rape and said "that they cared about her because she assisted them with recruiting," according to the report.
The report went on to say that, at some point, Franklin allegedly called the woman in for a private meeting and said he wanted her to put together a team of "pretty girls" to assist with recruiting "even though he knew it was against the rules."
Franklin repeatedly said he was "not interested in talking," when reached by the Nashville newspaper but released a statement through Penn State's athletic department later Tuesday.
"The allegations that I did something wrong are simply not true," Franklin said in the statement. "I have cooperated fully with the authorities in this matter but, out of respect for the legal process, I am not able to comment any further."
On the heels of the Jerry Sandusky scandal that rocked the university, Penn State officials were questioned about Franklin's connection with the Vanderbilt case at Franklin's introductory press conference in early January. There, Penn State President Rodney Erickson described the vetting process as "the most thorough ... that any individual has gone through at the university."
Erickson and Director of Athletics Dave Joyner said Penn State performed a deep background search on Franklin and asked intense interview questions of "multiple, independent, third-party sources." What they found satisfied them and the other members of Penn State's search committee tasked with finding a new coach.
Meanwhile, Penn State athletics integrity officer Julie Del Giorno, Vice President and General Counsel Steve Dunham, and Frank Guadagnino, a partner with the Pittsburgh firm of Reed Smith and counsel to the university, were part of the vetting process. Erickson said NCAA-appointed athletics integrity monitor George Mitchell's team was consulted.
"I've responded to some people who've said, 'I sure hope you've done your due diligence," Joyner said in early January. "And I've told them, 'Trust me. We have done a very thorough vetting of this and we feel comfortable with the situation.' We're very, very careful and very methodical about doing that."
Still, Penn State officials and Franklin himself acknowledged the coach still could be called to testify when the trial begins.
Prosecutors in Nashville have said they found no evidence that Franklin had any involvement in the case, including any alleged cover-up.
The new accusations came Tuesday in a court filing asking a judge to dismiss the case against Brandon Vandenburg, one of four former players charged in the rape. Police said the assault happened in a dorm room on June 23.
The defense team argued material they were seeking in the discovery phase of the case was either destroyed or not preserved.
Among the evidence that defense attorneys said is missing are text messages and phone records from Franklin and Galt.

Big banks are set to gain key concessions as the top U.S. derivatives regulator meets to vote on watered-down rules for swap trading that will chip away at Wall Street's dominance of the $630 trillion market.
The rules will allow banks to continue to negotiate deals over the phone, a practice critics say is hard to monitor, and lower the number of quotes investors need to get before entering a swap to move away from bilateral trading.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is writing a host of new rules based on lessons learned from the 2007-09 financial crisis, which highlighted the opacity of derivatives and triggered a regulatory crackdown.
On Thursday, the CFTC's five members - three Democrats and two Republicans - are expected to vote in a public meeting starting at 10 a.m. (1500 GMT) on new platforms for swaps that will bring bilateral trading to an end.
Bilateral trading, which is also seen as difficult to monitor, was blamed for exacerbating the crisis.
"We will bring to this once-opaque marketplace the transparency that Congress and President Obama laid out," CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler said on a call with journalists when presenting the rules on Wednesday.
The swaps market had modest beginnings in the 1980s, offering companies risk management tools, but rapidly started to attract speculators, causing it to mushroom out of regulators' sight in the following decades.

In an important nod to an industry dominated by big banks such as Citigroup Inc, Bank of America Corp and JPMorgan Chase & Co, the CFTC will continue to allow swaps deals to be negotiated over the telephone.
Derivative brokers such as ICAP Plc, GFI Group Inc and Tullett Prebon Plc, which sign up for the bulk of trading between banks, had lobbied hard to retain so-called voice-broking, the core of their business.
The rules for the new platforms, called Swap Execution Facilities (SEF), were one of the last remaining building blocks in the CFTC's rules, which are part of the Dodd-Frank overhaul of the financial industry after the crisis.
Another compromise in the rules for SEFs was the minimum number of quotes that a prospective client needs to get before entering a swap deal, a requirement aimed at bringing more transparency to the market.
The rules set a minimum of three quotes in so-called request-for-quote trading systems after a one-year phase-in period when the minimum number of quotes is two. The CFTC had initially proposed a minimum of five quotes.
Critics of the industry had said the lower the number, the smaller the move away from bilateral trading.

Can You Guess the Celebrity Cleavage?
The ample bosom in the picture above belongs to a TV host, actress and model known for getting wild and dancing in front of millions. You also might have seen her in Maxim and Playboy.
In 2005 and 2006, she put us all in touch with our inner guitar hero. She has been a voice for several video games, as well as the spokesperson for several cosmetics and exercise equipment lines.
While she certainly fits the girl-next-door motif, our mystery girl has become a multimedia star. In addition to her TV and modeling work, she is an author and mom. A former pageant contestant herself, she hosted the Miss America 2011 Pageant.

Spicy Tuna Maki Sushi Roll Recipe
We're having a houseguest this week. Mimi is Daddy's childhood best friend's daughter. She mentioned that she adores sushi, so I thought we would have a sushi party. Making your own costs less than the ones at your local sushi bar and you'll definitely know exactly how fresh the ingredients are. You can apply some of those savings and go overboard in choosing exquisite fish.
I made tuna maki rolls and served salmon sashimi to gain a little time. I filled the maki rolls with blue fin tuna (hon maguro toro tuna). Even though it was a little pricey, I couldn't resist when I saw the quality and the abnormally high level of marbling of the fish. I also added seaweed salad, fish roe, a few pieces of avocado and Granny Smith apple matchstick pieces, which add a pleasant, slightly sweet and tart flavor.
The result was fabulous and as less than you would pay at a restaurant to get this kind of sushi!

California Sushi Rolls and Tuna and Salmon Sushi
If you love football as much as my husband Lulu does, and also happen to be a 49ers fan, you were probably frantically jumping up and down and screaming for joy as they made it to the Super Bowl last week. Lulu has been looking forward to this since they lost in overtime in last year's NFC Championship game. To be honest, I have no clue what any of those words mean, but I've heard Lulu say them on several occasions.
What I do know is food and I've concocted a week's worth of recipe ideas in honor of the Superbowl and the San Franciso 49ers. I may not know a first down from a field goal, but preparing fun party food for friends and family is a great way for me to get involved.
To kickoff our week of SF-friendly Super Bowl foods, here's a combination of California rolls (avocado crab cucumber) and tuna (freshly caught by our neighbor Tom) and salmon sushi. It's super easy; all you need is fresh ingredients and ready-cooked sushi rice. You can make several rolls in advance, and cut them throughout the party as your guests work their way through them. The other nice thing about sushi as party food is that you can easily make different fillings depending on you and your guests' preferences and dietary restrictions.

Caterpillar Roll (Avocado Sushi Recipe)
Lulu and I recently went to a Japanese sushi bar and enjoyed platters of delicious rolls. When I came home, I was determined to serve the same gorgeous-looking sushi for the family. I reinterpreted the caterpillar sushi with a combination of hoisin sauce and kaffir lime sauce. The caterpillar outer layer is imitated with thinly sliced avocados. Unlike most of the "fancy" sushi rolls you'll find at restaurants, this one's vegetarian.
I have to admit I was very proud of how they turned out. And to my surprise, it wasn't that complicated. Sometimes, improvisation ends up with beautiful results!
Don't forget to enter your name and email address to be able to participate in my Haute Potato Cookbook contest. I will pick one winner next Monday. And if you already have a copy, I would greatly appreciate it if you could leave a review on Amazon. Thank you!

Mock Fish Recipe: Pan Fried Seaweed Tofu
Cá chiên chay (vegetarian fried fish in Vietnamese) is my attempt to eat approximately the same dish as my vegetarian husband, Lulu. It doesn't bother him so much, but it makes me a little sad that even when we share a meal, we're not actually eating the same thing. I cooked fish for myself today, and I whipped up a mock fish equivalent dish using tofu skin, crumbled tofu and seaweed to go alongside it. The result was surprisingly delicious. Lulu enjoyed his vegetarian meal and I enjoyed my fish as well.
I paired the "fish" with jasmine rice and canh mồng tơi (broth with leafy greens). The meal remained healthy yet very tasty.

Octopus Sushi (Cooked Sushi Recipe)
We've been setting up my little sis-in-law's school lunch menu as she's about to enter 1st grade tomorrow. She participated in the entire process. The little munchkin mentioned that she loves sushi and wanted to have some for lunch this school year. It's a fast and easy way for her to have a quick lunch, so I was happy to oblige. She also mentioned she loves baby octopus but she doesn't want to scare her friends away with weird food so I coarsely chopped them and used them as the filling along with other vegetables. I cooked each ingredient separately, let them cool completely and then combined then into sushi rolls. The sushi got an "A" from my sis-in-law, so I'll definitely be packing them for her this school year.
Involving children in preparing their own food encourages them to eat with more enthusiasm. Cooking in a fun environment is also a way to learn. If your kids aren't adventurous enough for octopus, you can try some of my other school lunch recipe ideas.

Keating led the Broncos to 16 wins last season and a trip to the West Coast Conference Tournament semi-finals. In addition to Bryant being named the WCC Player of the Year, Kevin Foster was named the WCC Newcomer of the Year. Three Broncos were named to the WCC All-Freshman team with the trio breaking 10 Bronco freshmen records.
It was a record-setting year for the Broncos, who won the 2008 Cable Car Classic with an 89-88 overtime win vs. UTEP. Bryant became the first Bronco in school history to score 1,600+ points, grab 1,100+ rebounds and block 200+ shots. Bryant finished his career at Santa Clara No. 1 in rebounds (1,152), No. 1 in blocks (246) and No. 6 in scoring (1,667). He was No. 1 in the country in double-doubles, rebounds per game and total rebounds during regular season play.
Foster's 85 three-pointers last season broke two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash's Bronco record. Nash set the SCU record in 1995 when he made 84. Foster also broke the single season record for three pointers attempted with 232, breaking the Bronco record set by Kyle Bailey in 2005 when he attempted 198. In addition, Marc Trasolini broke the Bronco record for single season shooting percentage, hitting 68.1% - shattering a 37-year old record set by Mike Stewart in 1972 when Stewart shot 64.7%.
Michael Santos and Ben Dowdell were both named to the WCC Academic Honor Roll with the men's team posting a 3.1 GPA in the Spring 2009 quarter.
Keating's first Bronco team won 15 games in 2007-08, finishing fourth in the WCC as the eight-team league sent a record three teams to the 2008 NCAA Tournament. Both Brody Angley and John Bryant were named to the West Coast Conference First Team. Angley broke the school record for minutes played in a season; and Bryant led the WCC in blocks and rebounds and was second in scoring. Bryant broke the SCU career blocks record, entering his senior year with 162, and single season record for blocks with 76 his junior year. Mitch Henke was named the WCC Postgraduate Male Athlete of the Year. In addition, all four seniors graduated.
Keating was named the 14th men's basketball coach in Santa Clara history on April 6, 2007 and was introduced to the media at a press conference on April 9, 2007. Keating came to Santa Clara after serving four seasons as an assistant coach at UCLA, helping the Bruins to Final Four appearances in 2006 and '07. Keating is only the fifth SCU head coach since Bob Feerick took the reigns of the program in 1950 and the first Bronco men's basketball head coach to be hired without having attended or coached as an assistant at SCU since 1926 when Harlan Dykes was hired as head coach.
Keating made a name for himself as one of the top recruiters in the nation as well as one of the most technologically innovative coaches in college basketball. At UCLA, in addition to helping UCLA to back-to-back Final Four appearances during Keatings tenure, the Bruins won two Pac-10 titles, made three NCAA Tournament appearances and collected a 91-41 record.
Keating played a pivotal role in bringing All-Pac-10 guard Darren Collison to the Bruins, the 21st overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft by the New Orleans Hornets. In addition, Keating assisted in the development of former Bruin Jordan Farmar (L.A. Lakers) and Arron Afflalo (Detroit Pistons), both NBA first round picks. He recruited and aided in the athletic maturation of Russell Westbrook, who was drafted No. 4 in the 2008 NBA Draft (Oklahoma City Thunder). Keating was also responsible for signing Kevin Love, the No. 1 high school player in the country, who went on to be a first-team All-American and the Pac-10 Player of the Year his freshman year. Love was the No. 5 pick in the 2008 NBA Draft and is now with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
In 2005, Rivals.com tapped Keating as one of the country's Top 25 collegiate recruiters, and in 2004, he was featured in a USA Today article about the rigors of college basketball recruiting. With a respected knowledge of technology and its use in recruiting, Keating was featured in articles about the topic in both the Los Angeles Times and The Chronicle of Higher Education, in addition to serving as a frequent clinician on the topic. In 2003, Scout.com named Keating the "most high tech" assistant in the nation. In the 2003-04 Athlon Sports College Basketball Preseason Magazine, Keating was named one of the Top 10 assistant coaches in the U.S. His recruiting efforts helped UCLA earn the nation's No. 4 incoming freshman class in 2004 (Rivals.com) and the No. 13 recruiting class in 2005 (Scout.com); and the No. 1 player in 2007, Kevin Love.
During his two seasons at Tennessee (2001-03) under Buzz Peterson, Keating helped the Volunteers land top-ranked recruiting classes - highlighted in 2003 by freshman C.J. Watson, who led the Southeastern Conference in minutes played and was the league leader in assists. In 2002-03, Tennessee was 17-12 overall and advanced to the first round of the NIT.
Prior to Tennessee, he spent the 2000-01 season under Peterson at Tulsa in the Western Athletic Conference. That season the Golden Hurricane was 26-11 overall and won the NIT crown.
From 1998-2000, Keating was an assistant coach under Peterson at Appalachian State in Boone, N.C. During those two years, the Mountaineers were 44-17 overall, won two regular season conference titles, made two appearances in the Southern Conference championship game and earned a 2000 NCAA berth. At ASU, he worked with backcourt players and was also responsible for on-campus recruiting and scheduling. Keating helped aid in the development of Tyson Patterson, the 2000 Southern Conference Player of the Year.
Keating's coaching relationship with Peterson began in the Southeastern Conference at Vanderbilt in 1994-95, when they were both assistants on Jan van Breda Kolff'ss staff at Vanderbilt. Keating and Peterson, now the head coach at Appalachian State after a spell with the Charlotte Bobcats, worked together at four different schools. Before his stint at Appalachian State, Keating spent three seasons (1995-98) at his alma mater, Seton Hall, as an assistant coach under George Blaney and Tommy Amaker. With the Pirates, Keating helped produce two All-Big East guards, Shaheen Holloway and Lavell Sanders, along with current Milwaukee Bucks forward Adrian Griffin.
From 1993-94, Keating was an administrative assistant under Dave Odom at Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons, led by Randolph Childress and Tim Duncan, were 21-12 overall and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Duncan has won two NBA MVP titles and Childress played in the NBA Final for the Nets vs. Duncan's Spurs team in 2003. Duncan, Childress and Odom were inducted into the Wake Forest Hall of Fame in 2008.
The 1993 Seton Hall graduate was a walk-on for head coach P.J. Carlesimo's Pirates during the 1989-90 season. Keating began his coaching career the next year when he served as a student assistant coach and video coordinator from 1990-93. During his four years in South Orange, N.J., the Pirates won a total of 88 games and played in the NCAA Tournament each of his last three seasons. In 1991, Seton Hall advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight.
Keating was born on July 15, 1971 in Stoughton, Mass., and was raised in Rockville Centre, N.Y. He attended high school at Archbishop Molloy and graduated from Seton Hall Prep. His father, Larry, is one of the country's top collegiate athletic administrators. Currently a senior associate athletic director at Kansas, he was Athletic Director at Seton Hall University from 1985-97 and also served as the Associate Commissioner of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) in Edison, N.J.
Keating married the former Treena Camacho on Aug. 24, 2008 in the Mission Church on the Santa Clara campus and they live in San Jose.

News Release: July 19, 2012
Docket No. RM96-1-037; Order No. 587-V
Item No. G-1
FERC Amends Business Practices Standards for Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) today approved a final rule that updates and improves standards for business practices of interstate natural gas pipelines, including enhanced standards that will improve coordination between pipelines and electric utilities.
Todays action comes as the five Commission members will convene five regional technical conferences in August to discuss with the public ways to enhance better coordination between natural gas and electricity markets. Dates, locations and times are available on FERCs website at www.ferc.gov. Information about the conferences will be available via Twitter feed at #FERC-GEC.
Todays final rule incorporates by reference the latest version of business practice standards adopted by the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB). The standards, proposed earlier this year, include : (1) standards to support gas-electric interdependency; (2) standards created for Capacity Release redesign due to the elimination of Electronic Data Interchange for Capacity Release Upload information; (3) standards to support the Electronic Delivery Mechanism; (4) standards to support the Customer Security Administration (CSA) Process; (5) standards for pipeline postings of information regarding waste heat; and (6) minor technical maintenance revisions designed to more efficiently process wholesale natural gas transactions.
Natural gas pipelines must file tariff sheets to reflect the changed standards by October 1, 2012, to take effect on December 1, 2012; they must comply with the standards by December 1, 2012. The Commission is also issuing a sample tariff record to assist filers in drafting their tariff filings implementing the rule.

Eastern Partnership Facility
The Council of Europe and the European Union developed a programme – officially known as a 'Facility' – to carry out cooperation activities on democracy, good governance and stability in the EU Eastern Partnership countries. With European Union funding of €4.8 million, the Facility ran from March 2011 until December 2014. This website is an archive of the work that was carried out through this programme which has now finished.
The Facility has been followed by the Programmatic Cooperation Framework for Eastern Partnership countries (PCF) which will be implemented in two phases: 2015‑2017 and 2018-2020.
The aim of the Facility was to provide support to reform processes in the six EU partner countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Republic of Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus) and bring them closer to Council of Europe and European Union standards in core areas such as public administration and electoral standards; judicial reform; fighting cybercrime and corruption, and promoting good governance.
It provided a framework for addressing issues raised by Council of Europe monitoring and advisory bodies, for mobilising expertise and peer advice, and for facilitating exchanges of best practice among participating countries. It sustained the momentum for the process of reform in each country and provide technical assistance and advice through regional co-operation and activities organised at a multilateral level. It was divided into four projects:
Project 1: Supporting electoral standards
The Facility supported partner countries in the areas of pre-electoral assistance, professionalism of election observers, women's participation in political and public life, raising young voter awareness, establishment of voters' lists and registers, settlement of electoral disputes, which ensured interaction between electoral management bodies.
The project:
- improved electoral process organisation;
- reinforced the roles of the Central Election Commissions and electoral administrations;
- strengthened NGOs involved in observing elections by improving the professionalism of local observers;
- created a network promoting voter participation and critical attitudes toward campaigns and the electoral process.
More information can be found on the electoral standards project page
Project 2: Enhancing judicial reform
The Facility supported judicial reform by promoting best practices amongst the judiciary in EaP countries. For example, Georgia and the Republic of Moldova moved closer to Council of Europe standards by amending their legislation on judicial self-governing bodies and judges' status and training.
The project:
- analysed legislation and practices of independent, professional and efficient judiciaries;
- addressed deficiencies in each participating country;
- created a regional network of judicial and legal professionals;
- prepared four reports on the following topics;
- the independence of the judiciary and individual judges;
- the role of the bar, access to the legal profession, lawyer training and ethical standards, and disciplinary proceedings against lawyers;
- initial and on going training for judges;
- the efficiency and performance of the judicial system.
More information can be found the enhancing judicial reform project page.
Project 3: Support measures against serious forms of cybercrime
The Facility helped criminal justice authorities fight cybercrime and bring partner countries in line with European and international instruments and practices, including the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime.
The partner countries:
- defined priorities in the fight against cybercrime;
- assessed strategies for cybercrime prevention and criminal justice;
- prioritised activities to ensure a comprehensive response to cybercrime and other offences involving electronic evidence;
- participated more actively in anti-cybercrime efforts.
The project:
- provided tools to combat cybercrime and gave advice on strengthening the legal framework;
- assessed legal provisions for compliance with international standards, in particular the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime;
- identified legislative deficiencies and encouraged partner countries to undertake reforms;
- discussed legislation, public and private information sharing and analysis, obstacles to effective investigation (such as criminal money flows on the Internet), co-operation between law enforcement and Internet service providers, and the use of specialised high-tech crime units;
- improved international co-operation and efficiency of 24/7 points of contact in all partner countries, as they are parties to the Budapest Convention.
More information can be found on the cybercrime project page
Project 4: Good governance and the fight against corruption
The Facility supported good governance and reinforced the public administration and criminal justice sectors in the fight against corruption.
The Project:
- developed anti-corruption policy and strategy;
- published an anti-corruption policy handbook;
- reviewed money-laundering cases in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Ukraine;
- provided expertise for the National Action Plan (Pilot Azerbaijan);
- provided expertise for the Anti-Corruption State Programme (Pilot Ukraine);
- developed e-governance methodology (Pilot Azerbaijan);
- assessed a political finance draft law and prepared it for submission to Parliament (Pilot Republic of Moldova);
- assessed corruption risks and drafted a risk assessment typology study;
- developed training manuals on economic crime and legal personnel liability;
- drafted a manual on verifying asset declarations;
- drafted training materials and trained ethics instructors;
- trained civil servants on prevention of corruption (including for Belarus).
More information can be found on the good governance and fight against corruption project page.
A CoE EaP Facility Steering Committee was created and enabled all the main partners involved (i.e. the CoE, the EU and the national authorities) to be provided with updated information on the projects' implementation progress and to assess the impact of the CoE EaP Facility's projects in the targeted areas.
The mission of the CoE EaP Facility Steering Committee was to assess and guide the CoE EaP Facility's projects' implementation, in order to: ensure that the deliverables meet the requirements which were set for the CoE EaP Facility, advise on decisions on the requirements for the CoE EaP Facility's projects, assess the monitoring and audit results, and supervise a communication campaign following the visibility guidelines concerning, notably, acknowledgement of EU financing.
The CoE EaP Facility Steering Committee was composed of: European Union representatives, CoE EaP Facility National Co-ordinators for each EaP country and the CoE MAE's involved in the CoE EaP Facility's projects.
Three CoE EaP Facility Steering Committee meetings were organised during the last implementation period, with the aim of evaluating the CoE EaP Facility's projects' implementation, assessing the results achieved, reviewing and adjusting (if necessary) the work log frame for the CoE EaP Facility's projects' implementation.
The final CoE EaP Facility Steering Committee Meeting was held on 27 October in Brussels. The aim of this Meeting was to provide key stakeholders with updated information on the CoE EaP Facility implementation results and achievements for the period June - October 2014, and more importantly, to provide an overall and comprehensive assessment of the CoE EaP Facility's results and achievements (2011-2014).

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — A mural stenciled on the side of a Hollywood gas station five years ago by the British street artist Banksy has fetched more than $200,000 at a Beverly Hills auction.
The Los Angeles Times reports the 9-by-8 foot "Flower Girl" artwork sold for $209,000 on Thursday at an auction that featured nearly 100 works by more than 30 artists. The winning bid came from a Los Angeles buyer who requested anonymity.
The mural shows a little girl holding a flower basket under the eye of a surveillance camera planted atop a tall stalk.
Banksy, who refuses to reveal his full identity, began his career spray-painting buildings in Bristol, England. He is known for his silhouetted figures and spray-painted messages.

Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, I would not presume to offer such an illustrious audience as this the last word on the new world order of which President Bush spoke in September 1990 when the Gulf Crisis was building up. Some have spoken of the end of history, as though the new world order was already in place; others think this is an illusion and prefer to speak of the new world disorder. Both camps fail to recognize that devising a new system of international relations will take a long time, especially after a forty- year ice age. The old world was organized around two forces working for integration - ideology was one of them and the nuclear deterrent was the other. The new world is looking for new approaches and new frameworks. The situation is no longer as clear as it was, now that our options are wide open again. But that should not make us unduly pessimistic, for in a world that is moving again, however chaotically, there is the prospect of a climate of hope that was virtually inconceivable in the Cold War era. Growing interdependence - problems and questions The interdependence of the world's nations seems somehow inevitable, though it must evolve in an orderly fashion; the reality is there, but we have not yet grasped it fully enough to devise the principles and rules of the new international game. Perhaps the simple fact is that we are at the beginning of an evolutionary trend. Well, events will not wait for us; we must be ready with our response. Talk of the interdependence of our national economies is now commonplace. You know what I mean - world trade is expanding rapidly, faster than production itself; financial markets are growing more closely integrated, thanks to information technology and deregulation; business strategies are devised in an international perspective, with direct foreign investment growing at an annual rate of 34% in the 1980s and international sales within firms in the same groups representing 40% of all world trade. Today many economists speak of the transition to a new stage - a quantum leap to a worldwide single market. There is plenty of evidence of this; the international credit card in the consumer's wallet is particularly symbolic. The globalization of difficulties is a no less obvious underlying trend: the frontiers are coming down and we must work together. We all realize that the developed world needs the Third World's help with a number of parameters that rank high on the political agenda - demographic pressure, degradation of the environment, nuclear proliferation and overarmament, the drug trade, organized crime and AIDS are the names of the game. The global dissemination of information means that ideas can circulate and public opinion can adopt a common way of thinking to such an extent as to justify talk of a universal conscience. The oppressors will go on oppressing, of course, the victims of persecution will continue to flee, and as barriers come down in one place they will spring up in another. But it is more and more difficult to remain ignorant or indifferent; hypocrisy and impunity are under attack. International apathy about human rights violations will not be able to hide behind the pretext of immutable, inviolable national sovereignty much longer. In all the debates going on now, the moral duty to come to the assistance of peoples whose very life is threatened is regularly brought to the fore; despite difficulties of implementation, it might well become a legal duty. There is a downside to this relatively optimistic vision, one which focuses on the limitations, the ambiguities, the fragility of the familiar trends which I have just described. Limitations not least because economic integration remains primarily the preserve of the Community, the United States and Japan. These Big Three of the international economy represent only 13.5% of the world's population, even if they do account at the moment for two thirds of its output. For some the alternative scenario to integration is fragmentation; they would refer to that part of the developing world where the demographic change is slow to emerge, where the process of economically catching up has ground to a halt, where revolutionary ideologies are far from dead and buried. At a time when there is so much talk of the "global village" it is surely paradoxical that part of the southern world seems almost to be removing itself from history, closing the door, hostile to penetration from outside. Limitations also to the birth of what I have called the "universal conscience". The information explosion, the development of the open economy, the spread of democracy, do not prevent us taking very different roads. Far from it. The upsurge in fundamentalisms provides the most striking example. For the rapid globalization of the economy is also a source of anxiety to peoples keen to strengthen their sense of belonging to communities with which they identify, on which they have a hold. In extreme cases - so much in evidence - claims and counterclaims can cause conflict between peoples who have long lived side by side. And the problem here is serious, because the right to self-determination is just as important a principle today with the throwing-off of the communist yoke as it was yesterday in the days of decolonization. I would add - and I will not go into detail - that economic integration, unless it is backed by a strong political will, will not in itself produce stronger international institutions or help create world government. This is why, although the need for a new world order is self-evident, our era is one of trial and error or, as the harsher critics among us would have it, of impotence, inability to take on world challenges. If we are to resist the forces of fragmentation, protectionism and exclusion, we must be more than just aware of our interdependence. We must move on and manage it, setting common objectives and applying common rules. Can the European Community, the product of a very different context, born of hostility and incomprehension, provide a blueprint for the creation of this new world order? The European Community contribution The Community experiment in interdependence in a common framework without being under the domination of any one nation must be the longest-running. It has its limitations, but it is a living process and an enriching one. In the context of a new world order it is certainly worth observing, even if the principles governing it cannot necessarily be reproduced. Let us deal right away with an objection that many have considered significant, but which will hardly stand up to close examination any longer: that is the image of Fortress Europe, the European Community as an economic bloc. Unlike the attempts at regional autarky in the 1930s, the European Community has shown for a long time that it is a factor for growth in international trade and its increasing liberalization. Our trading partners are gradually being won over to the idea that regional integration has a dynamic impact on all, and the European model is an inspiration for others - witness the recent agreements concluded by the United States, Canada and Mexico. So, having disposed of that canard, let me come to what seems to me the most interesting aspect for the matter at issue: the principles governing the Community, and their relevance to the establishment of a new world order. Thirty-five years after the European Community was set up, I believe it is not too presumptuous to claim that it still has something revolutionary about it, that it is something of a "laboratory" for the management of interdependence. What are these principles? I would pinpoint four. The first principle may seem very remote, given the failure of the collective memory; that is, exchanges and cooperation between peoples. At a time when hatred, or simply ignorance and fear of others, is troubling that part of Europe which has just emerged from the totalitarian nightmare, let us not minimize our gratitude to the men and women who gathered at the Hague Congress in 1948 - first among them Sir Winston Churchill - and set their faces against any notion of revenge, of congenital distrust between peoples. They rejected the view that "To the victor belong the spoils" - a philosophy which had dominated many postwar treaties, in which the germs of the next war are planted in the peace settlement, which seek first to satisfy instincts for power and short-term interests. The founding fathers of Europe had the wisdom to set our countries on a path of solidarity and cooperation which would seem to make any return to the old demons impossible. Our peoples have learned to know each other, to talk to each other and to appreciate each other; this is the key to everything. Naturally, it does not preclude differences of opinion and arguments, but in the final analysis there is a determination to work out positive compromises. Second principle: the control of economic interdependence. There are three aspects to this in the Community. First of all there is competition, which stimulates: the approach of the single market, to which firms have reacted well in advance, has revived national economies which were in relative decline; mentalities are changing, the stage is set for keener competition, a more open attitude to the outside world. Then there is cooperation, which strengthens: examples are research policy, which should be closer to our firms, training and redeployment in industries faced with far-reaching change, and the development of infrastructure networks. Finally there is solidarity, which brings us closer together: this is embodied in the policy of economic and social cohesion, which is designed to give each region a real chance and sets us on a growth path which will be beneficial to all. Competition, cooperation, solidarity: these are the three inseparable aspects of the organization of Europe, the management of interdependence in this continent of ours. In other words, a positive-sum game. Third principle: the importance of the law, which ensures that the rules are accepted by all the players, so avoiding diktats and the domination of one state over the others. Each member country, whatever its size or strength, can say its piece and make its contribution to the common venture. The European Community is a community governed by law, where the Court of Justice plays an essential role, and where one of the Commission's duties is to see that the rules are observed by all. Hence the emergence of a political entity which is not easy to classify, where sovereignty can be limited, shared or combined, depending on circumstances; and it is because the rule of law is observed that the Community can be managed jointly, in confidence and transparency. Finally, the fourth principle: the need for an effective decision-making process. This is because, without strong institutions, the will to cooperate is by itself not sufficient: the institutional set-up must be such that we are forced to achieve results, i.e. to take decisions and act. To my mind the authors of the Treaty of Rome made a fundamental innovation in giving the Community a memory enabling it to act and a decision-making system enabling it to go beyond the limits so often encountered by conventional international organizations. But can these four principles, which make for the solidity of the European Community, be transposed for the construction of a world order? Are they sufficient to make the Community a strong and stable constituent part of that order? These are the two questions I would like to address in conclusion. Is it possible to draw conclusions from the Community experiment, the laboratory I talked about earlier, that will help us to build a new world order? My answer is "Yes, but". Yes, because in economic and monetary matters the order created is infinitely more stable internally than what went before. Yes, because the discipline deriving from common rules is gradually penetrating our countries, and that is the sine qua non of fruitful cooperation. But the set-up cannot be transposed as it is. First of all because the differences between levels of development are enormous. And then because civilizations, our conceptions of man, nature, society and even democracy itself, are very different. In the Community we have a great deal in common on these points. But this is not true everywhere on our planet, if only because democracy is still far from being the ruling principle for everybody. And finally because giving birth to institutions to which sovereignty is to be transferred and which are to be given power to manage cooperation and settle disputes is a slow and arduous process. To convince ourselves of this we have only to think back to the woes of the League of Nations, whose failure so marked Jean Monnet, or to measure the progress made in recent years by the United Nations; but let us not forget the obstacles still lying in its path. Think also of the gulf between the hopes that were pinned on the CSCE and its achievements to date. There is still a long way to go to make the United Nations stronger; we should not close our eyes to the difficulties. Let us make use of our experience, but with modesty and humility. The contribution that the Community as such can make to the new world order can, to use an image from the plant world, be considered something of a hybrid, what is produced by crossing a world power with an international organization. I have been struck by the gradual emergence of the Community in this dual role on the international stage. First it is an entity which is gradually equipping itself with the means of influencing world affairs, commensurate with what unites us and the essential common interests of the Member States. I do not doubt that the Community will thus be contributing to a more stable and more equitable world order, as is testified by the declarations which the Community signed jointly with the United States in 1990 and with Japan in 1991. It is also a mediator and arbitrator, when you think of the upheavals in Central and Eastern Europe and the Community's role in the Yugoslav conflict - our observers on the spot and our presence at the peace conference today alongside the United Nations in Geneva. There is also a support function, when you consider the interlinking of the Community's humanitarian aid operations with those of non-governmental organizations and UN agencies. This is a new departure which is worth thinking about for the future, and it raises a new question: where do the rights and duties of "interference" start and finish? The Community is perhaps in a better position than others to give an unbiased answer to this question. The conclusion, Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, is that the Community's contribution to a new world order is, like the Community itself, something original: a method which will serve as a reference, a body whose presence will be felt.* * *

(CA) International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP) Open Letter (Website Reopening)
Dear Friends of IMSLP, Former Users, Contributors and Supporters:
Some people have doubted that we would keep our word. Some people have questioned our competence. Some people have sworn, despite being sympathetic, that IMSLP was struck down once and forever.
I am here to prove them wrong.
It is with great joy that I bring you news of the resurrection of IMSLP. We continue to believe that the access to our culture and the Arts is a fundamental right of every human being. And holding this belief, we continue in our journey towards the goals of providing public access to the musical public domain, and the facilitation of the study of music, the understanding of music, and the enjoyment of music. ...

IMSLP also encourages the exchange of musical ideas, both in the form of musical works, and in the analysis of existing ones. Therefore, feel free to create/edit a page with your analysis of a particular piece (please use the "Discussion" link on the work page of that particular piece)." ... "
The ultimate goal of the IMSLP is to gather all public domain music scores, in addition to the music scores of all contemporary composers who wish to release them to the public free of charge. However, another main goal of IMSLP is to facilitate the exchange of musical ideas outside of compositions: for example, the analysis of a particular piece of music. We hope to build a growing community of dedicated musicians and music lovers, who can use this site as a platform for enjoying music. " ... See site for more info:http://imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page

October 10-16
October 10 there seems to be no family activity brewing-a quiet day.
October 11- 113 years ago Ross Lynn Wheeler was born in Seney, Michigan to parents Ross Wheeler and Elizabeth McCarthy. Ross Lynn Wheeler is my first cousin, 2 times removed and our common ancestors are James and Matilda Wheeler on my dad's maternal side. This family moved from Seney to Minnesota sometime after 1900.
October 12- In 1931 Marion Barbara Stafford was born to Carl Stafford and Dorothy Virginia Mathews. She lived only 2 years, 6 months and 6 days unfortunately, I do not know the cause of death. She is buried in the Pinegrove Cemetery in Sault Saint Marie, Michigan. Her mother Dorothy is my dad's cousin, his maternal side.
October 13- another quiet day in family history.
October 14- 1847 John S. Gorton and Emily H. Ketchum are married in Henrietta, New York. They later moved to Allegan, Michigan living next to John's brother Quartus. In 1850 they lived next to a Reynolds family there and I have often wondered if they are a relevant family or not as John and Emily's daughter later marries a Reynolds. Later they move on to Alma, Michigan. They are my 2nd great grandparents on my mothers maternal side.
October 15- Leslie Martin Spencer was born in 1905 to parents Leonard Spencer & Grace Hambleton. He lived in East Lansing Michigan. He is my husband's grand uncle.
