text: I'm haven't had enough time to finish my new rock sculptures, so here are some current tank shots. I'm happy everything is doing pretty well but unhappy with how messy everything's gotten. I thought zoas wouldn't want to spread up to where SPS are getting blasted with light... the new fish (tang, fire fish and six-line wrasse) are good and have taken tank feeding to a new level: 1-2 frozen cubes, pellets, and acropower or reefroids every day. I'm keeping up iron dosing for the chaeto and large water changes to balance out all this nutrient import. The acropora like all the feeding.

This kid has always been a good sport with EVERYTHING. Now that Stone and Emerson are getting more involved in activities, this one gets to be along for the ride. He is never fussy, and is always such a good sport. ...ESPECIALLY if he has a dum dum in his mouth. My other two aren't too fond of hair cuts, but it didn't faze this kid!

No Training Wheels!
Emerson learned to ride her bike without training wheels! Now all she wants to do every day is ride her bike. She rides it for miles at a time. We go to the trail, and she could just ride forever. She rides in front of me, while I jog with Knox in the stroller behind her, and I can't help smile the entire time. Her little legs go so fast, and she randomly shouts, "THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!" She loves life.

Stone v. 7.0
He's SEVEN!
I can remember everything so perfectly from the day he was born. I can remember everything we tried to do the few days leading up to it, trying to get him here. We ate garlic pizza, walked all through the Avenues and up hills in Salt Lake City, and I kept exercising every day, hoping it'd induce labor. And now, he's finished Kindergarten, he reads wonderfully, he uses words that blow my mind, and he makes everyone laugh (his Kindergarten teacher said he was the class clown). Everyone loves him, especially us. Can't believe he's seven!!
A little roundup of portraits from each year...
His birthday morning started out with presents, and then we quickly got ready and headed off to his party at Air-U (a trampoline park).
It was minimal decorating since it was at Air-U, but we had a Lego theme, and things turned out pretty cute, ESPECIALLY his cake, that my friend made.
Lots of dodgeball...
Below: Cliff saving Knox as time was called up!
And the incredible cake!!
Stone had a BLAST. It was a successful day. We love celebrating our kids!!

Keeping up!
This little guy sure tries to keep up with his brother and sister, and does an excellent job. Sometimes, he just gets a little worn out and needs a break. Really, though, he runs around with them all day long, and is at their side. We've pushed him hard this summer with lots of activities, and sometimes, he just needs to rest!
We've been swimming a ton, and after a morning of a good swim, he came over to me, and took a little nap. He's so funny!
One day, in the gym's nursery, he sat in a baby chair by the TV, watched it for a few minutes, and took a nap. ....this is not like him! Usually he's running around with balls and cars, but we have just been going, going, going. I guess you can tell we're having a fun summer!

We just did another set of Wilderness First Aid/First Aid and CPR courses for the USFS. This is our 6th year doing trainings for the Quincy, Chester and Susanville crews. It started out as a training for just the owl crews and this year I think we had more crews than ever represented. The timber, hydrologist, biologist, herpatologist, archeologists, fish, botanist, civil culturalism crew and more were in attendance this year!!
We focused on things that would most likely happen to them. Musculoskeletal injuries such as sprains/breaks and wound care were covered as well as much much more!!
The weather co-operated although there was snow on the ground the morning before the class so I was expecting a cold course but it was sunny and lovely and we spent the whole day outside!!
We use pig or chicken legs to do a realistic wound lab complete with punctures, fish hook removal and dirty lacerations that need cleaning and packaging.
If you know anyone that would benefit from this training please pass our info along
Sierra Rescue-800-208-2723 or SierraRescue.com.
It is an 8 hour course complete with OSHA approved CPR and First Aid certification.

Cholesteatoma in cleft lip and palate: A population based follow-up study of children post ventilation tubes
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
Objectives/Hypothesis: To investigate the association of cleft conditions and the development of secondary cholestea-toma following middle ear ventilation tube insertion (MEVTI) in children. Study Design: A retrospective cohort study of all children born after 1980 who underwent at least one MEVTI in a Western Australian hospital from 1980 to 2009 using administrative health data. Methods: The timing and number of MEVTIs, adenoidectomy, type of cleft conditions and cholesteatoma were identified along with demographic variables. Flexible parametric proportional hazards models and hazard functions using age as a time scale were used to estimate the relative rate of developing cholesteatoma.Results: There were 56,949 children who underwent at least one MEVTI during the study period. There were 869 (1.5%) children who also had a diagnosis of a cleft condition. Overall, 594 (1.0%) children developed a secondary cholesteatoma. After taking length of follow-up into account, 6.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.0-9.6) of children with cleft conditions developed cholesteatoma by 18 years of age compared to 1.5% (95% CI, 1.3-1.6) of children without cleft conditions. After adjusting for demographic and clinical variables, children with cleft conditions developed cholesteatoma 7.5 (95% CI, 3.8-18.2) times faster after first MEVTI compared to children without cleft conditions, although by the third MEVTI this difference was no longer statistically significant (P = .257). The rate of developing cholesteatoma in 2005 to 2009 was 0.5 (95% CI, 0.3-0.8) times that of 1980 to 1990. Conclusions: Children with cleft conditions are at increased risk of developing cholesteatoma compared to other children who had one or two MEVTIs, although the overall rate of cholesteatoma is declining.

PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. – USA Basketball announced Tuesday that Northern Arizona Suns guard Xavier Silas is one of 12 players who made its roster to participate in the FIBA World Cup Qualifying first round, second-window games.
In the two-game set, Team USA will face off against Cuba on Feb. 23 and Puerto Rico on Feb. 26 in Santa Cruz, California. Both games will tip at 9 p.m. MT.
Silas was one of 14 players to attend USA Basketball's World Cup Qualifying Team training camp from Feb. 15-20 in Los Angeles. As part of the training camp, 12 NBA G League USA players faced off against the Mexico National Team in the inaugural NBA G League International Challenge on Feb. 18. The NAZ Suns guard tied the team-lead in scoring with 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting, including 3-of-5 from beyond the arc, to go with three rebounds in 13 minutes of action in Team USA's 88-67 win.
The 2017 USA Basketball World Cup Qualifying Team went 2-0 during the November first round, first-window games. The FIBA World Cup Qualifying games are used to qualify 31 of the 32 nations that will compete in the 2019 FIBA World Cup. China is already qualified as the host nation. There are three windows of first round games to qualify, with the third window beginning in June. There are three rounds of qualifiers to get to the 2019 FIBA World Cup.
Silas will look to help Team USA build on its 2-0 record in the first round. He is averaging a career-high 19.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, while shooting 39.9 percent from beyond the arc. He leads the entire NBA G League in three-point makes on the year (129) and averages the second most three-pointers made per game (3.9). In his NBA G League career, he sits in seventh all-time on the three-point makes list (384) and 24th on the all-time scoring list (2,536 points).
On Team USA, Silas will be joined by Taylor Braun (Salt Lake City Stars), Larry Drew II (Sioux Falls Skyforce), Alonzo Gee (Sioux Falls Skyforce), Aaron Harrison (Reno Bighorns), Rodney Purvis (Lakeland Magic), David Stockton (Reno Bighorns), Rashawn Thomas (Oklahoma City Blue), Marcus Thornton (Canton Charge), Travis Wear (South Bay Lakers), Devin Williams (Maine Red Claws) and Derek Willis (Grand Rapids Drive).
Jeff Van Gundy, who led the USA to a 5-0 record and the gold medal at the 2017 FIBA AmeriCup and to a pair of wins in the FIBA World Cup Qualifying November window, returns as head coach of the USA Basketball Men's World Cup Qualifying Team. Veteran international coach Mo McHone and former Georgetown University coach John Thompson III will again serve as USA assistant coaches.

It's been almost two weeks since I arrived in Berlin and I haven't wriiten a blog that's worth posting. I blame it on the cold weather. Everyone else does.
For the past few days I've been awestruck by the discipline Germans put on time. I wish I could bottle up their discipline and give a spoonful to one friend in particular who always puts Filipino patience to the test with his time management skills.
I have to give myself a pat on the back however, because since the course began, I have never been late. In fact, I am one of the earliest in class.
Right now, I'm only one of five people who managed to get to the InWent classroom in Stresemastasse. Danke!
Lately I've been bored. It must have been because of the routine. Every day I wake up at 6 a.m. (on the average), cook my breakfast (average-eggs), take a hot shower (average-temperature), dress up (average-looking) and thenwalk to the train station and take two rides to class.
I'm not enjoying Berlin like this. I have to break the routine. But how? I'm constantly sleepy and tired. The snow is making the street so slippery and not conducive to walking.
It's also very cold here. I already have an ear infection. And I'm constipated!

Slab leaks are a big problem for homeowners. By the time you suspect a leak, it's possible that it may have been there for months or possibly years. Leaks can leave cracks in your foundation and slowly threaten the integrity of your home.
Contact us today for quality slab leak repairs in Cincinnati.
You can reach us at (513) 795-1256.
Once you spot a slab leak, get us on the phone immediately. Our skilled leak detection specialists use state-of-the-art technology and our decades of experience to pinpoint the leak and repair it quickly. Once we know what we are dealing with, we can review our findings with you and come up with the best plan of attack to make sure your home is safe and sound again.
Many of our slab leak repair customers want to know what causes slab leaks and how to avoid them. Unfortunately, the cause is often out of your hands. Extreme weather can cause pipes to shift or burst. Corrosion also occurs slowly over time, no matter how well you maintain your pipes.
Slab Leak Detection
While you do need professionals to repair a slab leak, it's your responsibility to always keep an eye out for any sign of trouble.
A slab leak may not be as obvious as a leak under your kitchen sink, but be sure to call a member of our team if:
- You hear running water in the walls
- There is an unexplained increase in your water bill
- Puddles or standing water appear around your foundation
- You notice cracks in the concrete slab
- Warm or cold spots can be felt on the walls or floor
- You notice mold or mildew growing on the walls or floor
- Water stains appear for unexplained reasons
Most slab leak repairs are needed to repair leaks in the joints or fittings of pipes. These spots are weaker than the rest of the pipe, and are at a higher risk for leaks. At the end of our plumbing service, the damage will be repaired, and you won't have to worry about a leak in the same spot again!
If we find that the damage under your foundation is extensive, repiping might be a wiser financial choice. We never sell customers what they don't need, but we are always upfront and honest about the potential damage your home may be facing.
Our Cincinnati leak detection experts make every customer our priority and work until our job is complete. Contact us at (513) 795-1256.

Google's Android mobile operating system is well known because of many reasons, one of the important reason is that, it is open source. The source of Google's Android OS for smartphones, right from it's initial stage was kept open, which many mobile companies used, after making a few changes.Carriers in the US, removed certain features of android operating system to keep it away from violating their terms and conditions.
Google recently released the Android 3.0 a.k.a Honeycomb, specifically made for tablet PCs. Google said that, the source is going to be kept closed. The reasons are many. There is high competition in the tablet market now, and it's share on total computer usage is increasing by leaps and bounds.
With this enormous growth, there is plenty of chance for Google to monetize it or introduce new standards. Whatever it do, it would not like others to just copy it with the help of source code. This change might help Google to have full control over the operating system.
The disadvantage is that, most companies does not update their old devices with the latest version of Android OS. It is the developers who work day and night to transform the latest version of Android Operating systems to all possible devices. But if this source code is kept closed.
It would surely affect this process and there may also be a drop in the development of the Operating system as a whole(not apps), since the source code is kept closed.
The single giant open source OS for mobile devices is turning Closed source partly. This is not a good sign. Let us see what happens in the future. Share your thoughts on this with us.

360 outsold PS3 almost 2-to-1 in Nov. — analyst
PlayStation 3 will only match half of Xbox 360's November US sales, analyst Michael Pachter is convinced.
Chatting with IG, the Wedbush man said he expects this week's NPD data to show that 1,445,000 Xbox 360s were sold during the month, which would be up 5% year-over-year, while the PS3's performance is forecast at 750,000 PS3 units, up 41% year-over-year.
Sony's not in the habit of releasing of releasing its hardware sales numbers though as Microsoft and Nintendo do every month, so this is as close of a comparison as we're likely to get.
Nintendo is predicted to have sold 1,050,000 Wii units (down 17% YOY), 750,000 DSs (down 50% YOY), and 760,000 3DSs.
Driven by the likes of Modern Warfare 3, Skyrim, and others, November should be the third consecutive month game sales have seen growth. Fingers crossed.

What Some of our Clients have to Say About Our ACA Reporting Services
I'm pretty busy, and we have a small HR department. So it's often hard to keep up with the changing requirements of the Affordable Care Act. It becomes a bit of a burden to find time for filling out the tax forms and to do it correctly. That's why we've reached out to Cornerstone Group. They're more up-to- date and knowledgeable about the ACA than we are and help us ensure we do things the right way and on time. Also, they already have the necessary software, so we don't need to worry about learning it ourselves. Anytime I have a question, they have the answer. They're always updating me on what's going on with the ACA, changes in the act, and what we need to do to comply. The people at Cornerstone are great. They're knowledgeable and know what they're doing..
"Our industry has a high turnover rate—about 300 percent a year for security guards. We don't have thesystem internally to develop ACA reports on that many employees, determine their eligibility and generate the forms, and it would be cost-prohibitive for us to do so. Therefore, we called on Cornerstone Group to manage our ACA filings. They've been our benefits broker for some time, handling all our insurance, so this was a natural and seamless extension of their services. Cornerstone developed 1095-C forms for our workforce of nearly 2,000 employees, filing and delivering them before January 31. Their efforts saved us a lot of time and money. Most important, we were sure it was done right. Accuracy is key, and we had peace of mind because Cornerstone had done such great work for us before. Cornerstone is in the forefront of the constant evolution on the benefits side of things. Their ability to cut through the perceived gray areas and do what's right for their client is one of their great strengths. It was a huge benefit for us."
"We needed to do Affordable Care Act calculations for 500 to 600 employees in six locations, with a breakdown of everything employee-by-employee. We chose Cornerstone to help us manage the sheer size of this and to meet the time requirements for filing. I worked one-to-one with two Cornerstone staff members who gave intelligent and well-thought-out responses to everything I asked, focusing on the impact that various actions might have on the business. Together, we went through the entire year with information on each employee, calculating their eligibility. Other firms I researched merely furnished a spreadsheet to complete, without a lot of guidance. Cornerstone counseled me, was very proactive and really exceeded my expectations.
"At the end of the process I had a timely and accurate filing of all the required forms, and it was all done at a significantly lower cost than other providers would have charged me. The people at Cornerstone are very capable, offered exceptional service to me and tailored their consulting with me to enhance my business operations."

My Son's Imaginary Friend
Very strange yet interesting conversation with my 3 year old the other day. He was not quite a year old when Michael Jackson passed away, yet he told me something that perked my ears. He told me that Michael Jackson is his friend, and that Michael Jackson was a little boy, but now he is all grown up, and that he spent the night over Michael Jackson's house and they watched cartoons. He told me that I picked him up the next morning. WHERE in the world did he come up with this. It was not like he was making it up, he was speaking as if it really did happen. When I was little I had an imaginary friend, but my son's imaginary friend is Michael Jackson. I thought this was sweet and strange at the same time. I will let u know if he starts moonwalking or yee hee ing around the house.

I'm having an issue executing sql statements against a MYSQL database in JMP 10 64bit on Windows 7. Every other row is blank.
There is a similar thread for JMP 9 here: https://communities.sas.com/thread/32191 but the problem isn't really solved. What I'm wondering is if someone has a fix for JMP 10?
I believe this issue is addressed in JMP Note 45186:
Hope that helps!
Hi, is this actually going to be solved? The support notes linked by WK says that the issue was resolved with JMP 10 but I still get the same problem. The support note also says that you can avoid this by not using the advanced query dialog and importing it in completely, but I still get the same problem. I also get this issue when I use a JSL script to connect to the database and try to open a table.
By the way Justin, in case you didn't see it, this problem can be avoided by changing all data types to FLOAT or CHAR(255). However this greatly decreases the efficiency of my database and can cause issues for comparisons with FLOAT columns.
I'm sorry that you're still having problems.
Make sure that you've updated to the latest maintenance release of JMP 10, version 10.0.2.
If you're still having difficulty, please contact tech support for further assistance.

ADAM RUSSELL, AN anthropologist and program manager at the Department of Defense's mad-science division Darpa, laughs at the suggestion that he is trying to build a real, live, bullshit detector. But he doesn't really seem to think it's funny. The quite serious call for proposals Russell just sent out on Darpa stationery asks people—anyone! Even you!—for ways to determine what findings from the social and behavioral sciences are actually, you know, true. Or in his construction: "credible."

Does the swelling and pain affect both sides of the back, or just one side? If the pain, aching and swelling affect both sides, could it be related to your posture at work?
If you are sitting at a desk for long periods of time and are bending over, the neck and upper back could become painful. Making sure your work station is correctly set up for you is very important (if your job is at a desk). A swelling or pain that comes and goes would not likely be serious (because serious conditions are usually persistent in nature). However, without examining you myself I would not be able to totally reassure you that there is nothing going on here.
If you have not seen your doctor about this complaint, it would be sensible to make an appointment, preferably when the pain and swelling are present. The doctor can then decide if you need to have an X-ray or any other investigations.

Monday Hodge Podge things - part two
Friday, March 28, 2008
She strikes again!
Here's to baby brother
At least once a day the kids will tell me 'thank you for having baby brother'. It's kinda weird since I was only part of the process, but I'll take it. Ashley goes straight for Drew when she gets home from school. We've actually had to talk about balancing homework with chores and specific "Drew time". I've talked to some other moms about this. It's apparently not uncommon for kids to {gasp!}

Look over hair!
Neil took Jonathan to get a haircut on Sunday after church. Jonathan's normally a hot-natured little kid, so I was using the cooler weather as an excuse for him to grow it longer. It just reminds me of when he was a baby and we'd keep it all long and shaggy. It was a good look for him. But with the weather "supposedly" warming up it made sense to get it cut. I tried to take him last week, but he informed me that that was his and Dad's guy time out. Ok. Couldn't really argue with that. I gotta be honest. I wasn't looking forward to all that adorable hair getting cut, but he walked through the door and was the most fantabulous looking six year old around. Seriously. His hair was all gel'd up and he had his bangs spiked up in the front. His haircut looked as Grandpa Simpson would say 'a haircut you could set your watch to' (he was referring to Johnny Unitus). It looked like a classic 50s boys haircut. I'm sold. This kid *has* to get his hair cut like this from now on. Each morning so far we've gotten out the hairspray and I've had to train myself on how to properly spike his hair. It's a pretty sticky process, but the result looks good. It reminds me how independent my kids are, though. I don't do hair. Ok, rarely I fix hair. And even then it's only Paige and it only involves detangler, a brush and a small rubber band. I don't do anything complicated. And if I'm feeling super "on top of things", I'll put a bow in her hair, but that's where Ashley comes in.
Ashley and Paige work on the perfect hair creation
A little sass for the photo
As you can see, no one is safe from Ashley once she gets on a roll. I can't decide if he looks ready to cry or laugh. Maybe it's a little of both? Either way, he's still just as adorable to me!
I thought long and hard about whether it was a good idea to put up a blackmail photo of Drew - and the devilish side in me won out. I think he's masculine enough to pull this look off!

May have bitten off more than I can chew...
...those of you with school-aged children will know where I'm coming from on this topic. Most of us get really excited when our little ones are old enough to head off to preschool. First come the school supply lists, the scholastic book orders and depending on where they go, sometimes you'll get a snack list sign up sheet or maybe even a fundraiser. This is all very exciting...until it happens year after year after year after...well, you get the point. Our first double dose was last year when Jonathan started kindergarten. Both he and Ashley were at the same school, so we got twice the paperwork in their weekly folders, twice the book order forms, fundraiser forms, remembering to deposit money into their lunch accounts, paying an extra fee online if I didn't remember to send that check in on time for the lunches. This year, it was deciding to pay for a brand new flute for Ashley, paying for yearbooks, school t-shirts, mandatory PE t-shirts, band fundraisers, PTA fees, remembering to help with homework, fees for their CCD classes, snack sign ups for that, and lastly any and all things related to whatever sport we sign them up for. Jonathan's swim lessons are the least demanding beyond price. You pay for the session, get 11 lessons, you use them up and you pay all over again for another session. Ashley's volleyball, while a little more involved, *is* closer to home and costs less than swim lessons so it does have it's advantages. This being her fifth season, I decided to go ahead and coach. She hasn't really made a big deal about wanting me to, but I thought about how much I like teaching (or instructing in this case) and I also thought it would be a great way to get to know some more of her friends and parents too.
I have to admit, I'm having a lot of fun being a parent these days. I look forward to Jonathan's swim lessons, I can't wait for Ashley's volleyball season...who knows what Paige will get involved in...only time will tell.

Keeping up with the Joneses
Since getting my dSLR camera a few weeks ago I've been having a lot of fun taking pictures, but what's more, I've discovered how much more I have to learn with all the new technology jargon and lingo and hoopla. SOOC and RAW, post process, etc. are all terms I'm having to learn with respect to my camera. It's a bit of a learning curve right now, but I'm learning to (ok, re-learning) tweak my photos before posting them...slowly but surely anyway. It's one thing when you're paid to take pictures and another when you have to remind yourself to take the camera out to use it! It's been just over four years since I decided to return to the world of "hobbyist photographer" and leave the paid gig part of it out of the picture. Anyway, I'm going to try to incorporate my pictures into my posts and maybe play around with them a little before posting them. My page layout is flooded with *so* many different kinds of things, so this is a small attempt to get it more organized - behind the scenes anyway.
So, how is this keeping up with the Joneses?? Well, when you post as frequently as I do and get to know all these other lovely ladies who blog and photograph it tends to keep me focused and on top of the things I want to accomplish. If it weren't for Emily's blog (yeah, a shout out for ya!), I wouldn't have gained a renewed interest in photography. I had been wanting a new digital camera for almost three years, but since I put the professional thing away, it didn't make a lot of sense to buy a new camera, particularly since they can get pretty costly. After reading that thread on BBC though, I made it a priority and started researching and asking questions. For my level of "expertise" it made sense to go with the Canon 40D. I opted out of getting the flash for the time being and whenever possible I like to use natural light, but I also have my Bogen with my Sunpak 622 on standby for those more "portrait" type pictures I want to capture. It's been a lot of fun rediscovering my passion. I am loving working with photos in PhotoShop. I'll never forget the guy who showed me how to use it. His name is Dave Rossman and he was the photographer in my small hometown. It was my first photojournalism internship - this would have been back in 1995. Hard to believe that's been almost thirteen years ago!! I had a lot of fun learning about photography from a computer standpoint - I even remember the old school negative scanner and having to use the lupe to find the "best" negative to scan in. It took so long to scan, it made more sense to pick one using the light table and the lupe first.

Another day has come and gone and still I sits and thinks….. Circumstance has not allowed me to get anywhere near either palette or canvas for the last few days. Maybe this is a good thing; because despite not being able to smear or scrape, I have definitely kept my beady little eye on those previously made marks while going about my daily chores and I'm slowly conjuring up the chutzpah to tackle it head-on. I need distance from the work…not as in metres, but mental distance…because when I'm actually painting I can't, and mostly don't want to, see the wood for the trees. I find it gets in the way of the process. I need the process to show the way, not some fucked-up-preconceived idea of what the painting should be (about). It's important that the painting…any painting…doesn't reveal itself too soon, to either author or reader. The longer it takes the deeper it gets. Perhaps tomorrow things will be more conducive to pushing paint.

The happy accident….
The "happy accident" is a misnomer and actually has very little to do with the accidental. Relying on it to resolve a painting is like trying to win the lottery. It can however do wonderful things if orchestrated properly. But orchestrating it successfully is not as simple as the result may imply. What looks easy, even to the trained eye, is usually anything but. This is why much of the paint I apply ends up on the wall or floor…either as a result of missing the canvas altogether while slinging a cake-lifter full of paint, or having just scraped a week's worth of paint from the surface. Both are about as uneconomical as you can get, but then for me painting is not about economy of material or effort…they are merely means to an end. I am amazed when I see some painters' palettes which look like the bottom of a bird-cage that hasn't been cleaned in years. I wonder how they can possibly conjure up anything other than a colour that resembles…well, shit. How can they properly load a brush or palette knife I ask. Anyone who paints in oils is well-aware of that taupish colour that oil paint so loves to become if not handled with respect. This is probably the real reason amateurs and poseurs resort to using acrylics…siting health reasons, free radicals, volatiles, quick drying times and the like. But I digress. Setting the stage for the happy accident involves knowing exactly how the paint will react at a given viscosity. Painting in oils is about playing various viscosities off against each other…particularly when painting wet into wet and trying to avoid that previously mentioned shitty colour. Having recently watched that fabulous documentary of Gerhard Richter squeeging his way to success, I noted that the pigments were carefully prepared and applied with authority…not always, by his own admission, with success however. It can never always be successful, so calling the times it is so a happy accident, depends on how happy one feels at the end of the process. I suspect Mr Richter also has much paint that turns to shit and ends up on the floor…probably a hundred times more than I do. Perhaps this is the reason his paintings are so much more expensive than mine. (sic)
Brian Bradshaw once made the annotation "Plasterer" in the margin next to one of Frank Auerbach's paintings in a catalogue of British artists in the early 60's. While some of Auerbach's early works had a certain resemblance to a thickly plastered plank, the difference between Frank and a plasterer is that Mr Auerbach removed a lot of what he applied when it wasn't "working" and kept repeating the process until it did indeed work. This is something a plasterer strives not to do…it's just not consistent with the art of plastering and would be considered incompetence by anyone in the trade. Not so with painting.
On pushing paint…..
Here I am writing instead of pushing paint. The reason being that, as usual, I find myself procrastinating pending my next smear. The painting I am currently working on (a commission) is nowhere near any state of being resolved but, after a few weeks, is now at a critical point of no return. Whatever I do now will throw it in a different direction…hopefully. I have become somewhat disenchanted with it as it stands and the only solution is to turn it upside down, look at it with a new eye, and continue scraping, smearing and manipulating both form and colour in the hope that the current layers of paint (and there are numerous) will suggest, if not show, the way forward. I have a number of unresolved paintings which I haven't touched in some time…not because I am precious about the marks made to date…far from it…but because I'm not really sure if I want to continue pushing them in the direction they were going. If I leave them alone for long enough perhaps I will be able to see them for what they are…mindless drivel or the beginnings of something worthwhile. Pushing paint is only one solution to this dilemma, but obviously only of value if pushed intelligently…something I'm not always capable of doing. As the saying goes: "…sometimes I sits and thinks and sometimes I just sits". Pushing paint is similar. I often find a solution when I am engaged in something other than applying, smearing or scraping paint…like having a wee dram of my favourite Single Malt while listening to Dave Matthews, Salief Keita or Peter Gabriel work their magic way through the scales…or reading Robert Hughes and thinking about what Tapies actually meant to me (especially after having seen the other Antonio's masterful paintings which hung in the Beaux Art in Brussels in 1985). The trick is to remain engaged, however remote that engagement might be. The other trick is not to get too pissed in the process.
Then of course there's the happy accident…but that's another story.

John Gottman researched marriage and relationships for many years. He observed many couples and found out what makes a relationship tick. At the heart of his work is the "Sound relationship house" – 7 habits that make the difference. This is the summary of his key thoughts (also on Amazon Video).
1) Build love maps
The metaphor is simple: each of us develops inner realities. Likes, dislikes, facts and feelings. Knowing the love maps of your partner forms the base for friendship and intimacy. Basically, you take time to explore what is going on in the mind of your partner. Friendship is maintained and this is the basis for a good marriage.
Gottman offers sets of questions, even games and apps to get the love maps going again. Here are some samples (answer in your mind first, then check with your partner if you know that about him/her):
- Name my two closest friends.
- What was I wearing when we first met?
- Name one of my hobbies.
- What stresses am I facing right now?
- Describe in detail what I did today, or yesterday.
- What is my fondest unrealized dream?
- What is one of my greatest fears or disaster scenarios?
- What is my favorite way to spend an evening?
- What is one of my favorite ways to be soothed?
- What is my favorite getaway place?
- What are some of the important events coming up in my life? How do I feel about them?
- What are some of my favorite ways to work out?
- Name one of my major rivals or "enemies."
- What would I consider my ideal job?
- What medical problems do I worry about?
- What was my most embarrassing moment?
- Name one of my favorite novels/movies.
- What is my favorite restaurant?
2) Share Fondness and Admiration
Fondness and admiration for each other have enormous long-term payoff. They carry a marriage through stress and conflict. Test yourself on how you are doing. Fondness is about thinking and expressing positive sentiments about your partner. Gratitude adds an uplifting atmosphere and acknowledgment.
3) Turn Towards Instead of Against
There is a simple logic to most interactions – either they work or show that something is amiss. The three options are: 1) turning away. Simply letting the other talk, not engaging, not responding, being absent – both mentally and physically. 2) turning against. Responding with anger and agression, or more subtle with cynism and closedness. 3) turning towards. Acknowledging the other person, following their words and actions, engaging with their current state of mind.
Relationships work to the degree the partners turn towards each other. Whenever turning away or turning against override, the relationship is going downhill.
4) The Positive Perspective
Taking a positive view to the other person means looking and expressing the positive. When you are first in love, everything is great. Later in a relationship, the eye can easily be fixated by negative things. The ideal ratio is 5 positive things to 1 word of criticism.
5) Manage Conflicts
Conflicts are unavoidable. Gottman says that over the course of a life, 68% will never be resolved. So, you have to find a way to deal with them. Without destroying each other. Gottman mentions five things to master: 1) learning to soften startups (don't blow the fuse too quickly), 2) learning to repair emotional damage (learn to make up, to express regret, to share appreciation and ask for reconciliation), 3) learn to self-sooth (de-escalating emotions and calming down), 4) learn to understand your partner's point of view, 5) learn to accept the influence of your partner.
6) Make Life Dreams Come True
We all have dreams of what we want to in life. A good relationships learns to know the dreams of your partner, and is supportive in making them happen.
7) Create Shared Meaning
Finally, a good relationships learns to build emotional connection and shared meaning. Gottman calls this "rituals of emotional connections". A cup of coffee together, a walk around the block, sports, a car ride – there are many options. A relationship needs time to connect and learn about each other.
Also, a common set of goals or purpose glues a relationship together. These might be kids, doing God's work or contributing to a certain cause.

On NBC News, we read:
High school student Autumn Vicari told NBC News her 19-year-old brother J.J. was in a room filled with students at the college when the gunman entered.
According to her brother's account, Vicari said at one point the shooter told people to stand up before asking whether they were Christian or not.
Vicari's brother told her that anyone who responded "yes" was shot in the head. If they said "other" or didn't answer, they were shot elsewhere in the body, usually the leg. Vicari said her brother managed to escape but watched as three people were later killed in another room. He believes the gunman didn't spot him, Vicari said — adding that J.J. was struggling to deal with what he witnessed.
When a shooter calls, how do you respond? If the shooter orders all Christians to stand up, and you are a Bible-believing Christian who loves Jesus (much like myself), how do you respond?
You shoot back. You kill the son of a bitch if you have to.
Problem: Umpqua College is a "gun-free" zone, which unsurprisingly did not deter the shooter from bringing a gun onto the campus. All of the law-abiding and legally "good" citizens were unarmed. They did not even have an armed security guard, which is truly, resoundingly stupid. You'd think College presidents would've figured out by now that campuses are juicy targets.
The President of Umpqua College worried that an armed security guard might "change the culture" of the campus, which is why the measure was rejected. Furthermore, he reasoned that a single armed security guard would probably not do much good anyway, which is true. They should've had several armed guards, at least. I suspect the choice to have unarmed security will have had far more of an impact on campus culture than armed security ever would have had.
It makes the American Left happy to know that law-abiding citizens are defenseless against criminals. This is part of their religion, which I have in the past called the Church of the State. It is a religion which emphasizes the messianic character of the State to bring salvation to the masses as the great provider of food, housing, medical care, education, and protection from harm.
After the shooting, the Priss-in-Chief released this statement from the White House:
Earlier this year, I answered a question in an interview by saying, "The United States of America is the one advanced nation on Earth in which we do not have sufficient common-sense gun-safety laws — even in the face of repeated mass killings." And later that day, there was a mass shooting at a movie theater in Lafayette, Louisiana. That day! Somehow this has become routine. The reporting is routine. My response here at this podium ends up being routine. The conversation in the aftermath of it. We've become numb to this.
We talked about this after Columbine and Blacksburg, after Tucson, after Newtown, after Aurora, after Charleston. It cannot be this easy for somebody who wants to inflict harm on other people to get his or her hands on a gun.
And what's become routine, of course, is the response of those who oppose any kind of common-sense gun legislation. Right now, I can imagine the press releases being cranked out: We need more guns, they'll argue. Fewer gun safety laws.
He's damn right we'll argue for more guns, especially in citizen hands. Big Barry-O is finally starting to figure out our angle. If I had things my way, here's what I would do: pull the military out of every overseas conflict and cut its budget in half; drones included. Then, I'd encourage all peace-loving and law-abiding citizens in the USA to buy a gun and learn to use it. Boom, shaka-laka. I'll take a strongly-armed populace over a worthless military-industrial complex any day of the week.
Here is my sincere belief: The Leftist desire for gun-control is not so much an attempt to keep guns from criminals, as they claim it to be. They claim that such legislation is aimed at criminals, but I dispute this. Everyone knows that's a loser's game, such as this example from tightly gun-controlled France. I believe that deep down, gun control is more about reinforcing the presence of the State-god to the common citizen, and reinforcing that the common citizen should look only to the State-god for care and protection. It is about demonstrating the State as a modern Messiah to the common citizen. Ultimately, it is about demanding obedience to the State.
As far as I'm concerned, there's only one Messiah, and the State ain't him. Rather than bringing salvation to the masses, the State turns the masses into welfare slaves and destroys society. The best examples of this are the Native American reservations, which are generally socialist hellholes despite full rides from US taxpayers. Close behind are the poor black and latino ghettos, alongside the poor white redneck communities. All of these communities are suffering from utter breakdowns in civil society. Jesus heals and rejuvenates; the State wrecks and destroys, as we can see.
So, what do you do when a shooter calls and everyone is unarmed? You have to work together. You all charge the guy at once and beat him into a bloody pulp. There is a good chance one or two people will be shot while trying this, but it's better than everyone getting shot by refusing to fight back.

Summer Camps
Every camp, like every child, is different. It is important to consider the needs and interests of the child as well as the requirements of the family.
The variety of camps that are available can meet just about every need. Do you prefer a day camp or a residential camp? Would you like a co-ed camp? There are cooking camps, sports camps, art camps, science camps, and many others. In terms of residential camps, the children must have some degree of independence because they are on their own to some extent.
When exploring options for summer camps it is important to consider staff, location, costs and any special needs (dietary or medical) that your child may have.
The Vanderbilt Child and Family Center offers an annual Summer Camp Fair where parents can visit with representatives from various camps and learn more about what they offer.

In spite of the emergency shaking his marriage, Tonto Dikeh's irritated hubby, Olakunle Churchill, stunned numerous faultfinders, Tuesday, when he divulged mainstream vocalist, Praiz Adejo, as one of his establishment, Big Church Foundation, ministers for the 2017 venture year.The marking of the arrangement was done at the Ikoyi, Lagos meeting room of the establishment.
At the divulging board gathering was the present Ambassador for Women and Child, performing artist Rosaline Meurer, who has been at the focal point of Tonto Dikeh's conjugal chaos, the Foundation Executive Manager of Abuja branch, Tomiwa Yebo, Foundation facilitator/PR, Mr. Raphael Cudjoe, Head of IT, Clay-Multi Media Department, Maureen Cyril of GoodGirl Foundation, Ivy Cypriel of Crown and Glamor TV among others.
Talking at the occasion, Dr. Olakunle Churchill stated, they required another Ambassador for the Big Church Foundation to initiate the Agriculture and Mining venture which is focusing on the Nigerian young people. He portrayed the decision of Praiz as a commendable one, as he has worked with the Big Church Foundation amid philanthropy crusades previously.' On his part, Praiz said in a post, 'It gives me incredible delight to be a piece of this awesome group @bigchurchfoundation, enabling the young, helping the less advantaged and physically tested people!! Much obliged to you @bigchurchhaven for having me on board.' Meanwhile, the nearness of the light-cleaned magnificence at the occasion brought up a great deal of unanswered issues. Review that Dr. Churchill in a current meeting denied having any association with Rosaline who was then called his own partner . Mr Churchill had asserted that he didn't have a female PA. In any case, this would be Praiz's first significant support this year, which will see him pilot the strengthening of 36,000 adolescents in Nigeria through the 36 states.

"This is essential listening for fans of new American orchestral music. The triptych gives a fascinating cross-section of current trends, and RR's "Fresh!" moniker is an incredibly accurate description of the results. The notes on the pieces are by the composers themselves, and it is interesting to see how the prose and musical writing mirror each other...Recorded sound is demonstration quality. Highly recommended!" —Marcus Karl Maroney, ConcertoNet

AEP was one of the early adopters of arc rated basic clothing. Most utilities used cotton until 1994. Then all were required to use 100% natural fiber or arc rated clothing. Contrary to popular belief, not all clothing catches fire in an arc flash or a flash fire. This is why the move was so hard for larger companies. Sometimes they lucked out. BUT when you have clothing that will not ignite you eliminate the risk AND reduce the injury probabality and extent dramatically.
Clothing ignitions lead to fatality about 50% of the time and they almost always lower quality of life.
We applaud AEP and most other utilities for using arc rated clothing. Read the news story at the Chillichothe Gazette.

Daniel Suarez – Daniel Suarez should be taken very seriously at New Hampshire. He's proven himself to be a capable shorter flat track driver. On Sunday I would look for him to be a low double digits driver who has a great chance to finish in the top ten. This summer at New Hampshire, Suarez had a good race and closed out strong. When the checkered flag waved he finished 6th. Additionally in the race he earned the 12th best driver rating and had a 15th place average running position. Richmond is a similar shorter flat track and a few weeks ago at that venue Suarez finished 7th. (Yahoo C Driver)
Jamie McMurray – Jamie McMurray is a capable shorter flat track driver and on Sunday I would look for him to challenge for a top ten. This weekend I think he has some quality out of sync potential because he's entering the weekend with back to back New Hampshire high-teen finishes. This summer at New Hampshire he started 4th, finished 17th, had a 12th place average running position and earned the 13th best driver rating. At the end of Stage #1 he finished 4th, and at the end of Stage #2 he finished just outside the top ten. Late in the race he just fell back following a late restart. With 20 laps to go he was in 12th. Last fall he didn't have a bad race but finished 19th. In that race don't overlook his 10th place average running position and 12th best driver rating. He was a top five contender but late in the race he had a massive free-fall in the running order. In July 2016 he ran well. When the race reached its conclusion he finished 6th, earned the 11th best driver rating and had a 12th place average running position. (Yahoo B Driver)
Ryan Blaney – Ryan Blaney shouldn't be overlooked at New Hampshire. In all four of his starts he's been respectable, "performance wise." He didn't finish well this summer but on Sunday I would look for him to challenge for a top ten. This summer he finished 19th but I'll note he was better than his result. His average running position was 12th and he earned the 14th best driver rating. He didn't close out the race strong and I think something happened to him during a late pit cycle because it dropped him in the running order. Last fall he was solid finishing 12th and having a 15th place average running position. In July 2016 when the race reached its conclusion he finished 11th and had a 13th place average running position. In a summer 2015 pre-rookie start he finished a misleading 23rd. In that race he showed top ten potential but he had to make an unexpected pit stop for a loose wheel and as he was leaving he got a speeding penalty. (Yahoo B Driver)

Mayer Brown has experience in many specific matters. Search the entire list.
Mayer Brown has more than 250 lawyers ranked by Chambers worldwide and more than 150 Peer Review Rated lawyers in Martindale Hubbell.
The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act ("OCSLA") extends worker compensation benefits for "disability or death . . . resulting from any injury occurring as the result of operations conducted on the outer Continental Shelf." 43 U.S.C. § 1333(b). On February 22, 2011, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in Pacific Operations Offshore, LLP v. Valladolid, No. 10-507, to resolve disagreement among the lower courts as to the scope of that provision.
The Fifth Circuit has held that OCSLA imposes a "situs-of-injury" requirement, so that compensation under the statute is available only for injuries occurring over the outer continental shelf. Mills v. Director, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, 877 F.2d 356 (5th Cir. 1989) (en banc). The Third Circuit has held that OCSLA imposes a "but for" test, so that compensation is available if the injury occurred "as the result of" operations on the outer continental shelf. Curtis v. Schlumberger Offshore Service, Inc., 849 F.2d 805, 809–11 (3d Cir. 1988. Disagreeing with both the Fifth Circuit's situs-of-injury test and the Third Circuit's but-for test, the Ninth Circuit last year held that compensation is available under OCSLA so long as "the claimant [can] establish a substantial nexus between the injury and extractive operations on the shelf." Valladolid v. Pacific Operations Offshore, LLP, 604 F.3d 1126, 1139 (9th Cir. 2010).
The Supreme Court's resolution of this conflict is likely to have significant consequences for the offshore drilling industry and other industries involved in the extraction of natural resources from the outer continental shelf. If the Court allows plaintiffs to bring claims under the OCSLA even for injuries occurring outside the geographic boundaries of the outer continental shelf, companies could be subject to significantly expanded liability.
The defendant in the case now before the Court, Pacific Operations Offshore, LLP, operates two offshore oil drilling platforms located over the outer continental shelf more than three miles off the coast of California. Although the decedent, Juan Valladolid, spent the great majority of his working time aboard one of the drilling platforms, he was injured at Pacific Operations's onshore oil-processing facility, when he was crushed by a forklift. His widow filed claims for benefits under the California workers' compensation scheme, the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, and the OCSLA. Her federal claims were referred to an administrative law judge, who rejected the OCSLA claim on the grounds that Valladolid's injury had occurred outside the geographic situs of the outer continental shelf. On appeal, the Ninth Circuit announced its "substantial nexus" test and remanded for further factual findings.
Absent extensions, amicus briefs in support of the petitioner will be due on April 15, 2011, and amicus briefs in support of the respondent will be due on May 16, 2011. Any questions about this case should be directed to
