Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - Carlos Boozer scored 22 points and pulled down 20 rebounds, and the Utah Jazz advanced to the second round of the postseason by pulling away for a 112-104 Game 6 win over the Denver Nuggets to complete their Western Conference quarterfinal series at EnergySolutions Arena.
Foul trouble and injuries played a significant role in the series-clinching victory, a game in which rookie Wesley Matthews stepped up and scored 23 points for the Jazz, who shot 34-of-51 from the foul line.
Deron Williams was held to 14 points and 10 assists, while Paul Millsap tallied 21 points and 11 rebounds off the bench in the victory.
Utah will next face the defending NBA champion Lakers, who closed out their first-round series against Oklahoma City with a thrilling 95-94 Game 6 win on Friday. The series, which is the third between the teams in as many years, will start on Sunday afternoon.
Chauncey Billups scored 30 points and handed out eight assists for the Nuggets, but had his streak of seven straight conference finals appearances snapped with the early exit.
"I knew we were going to have a tough time covering their halfcourt offense because it's so thorough," Billups said. "I also knew that we should be able to run on them. We were able to run on them every time we played them during the season. Unfortunately, the thing I didn't anticipate is us being in foul trouble so much because it stops your run."
Carmelo Anthony ended with 20 points on 6-of-22 shooting to go with 12 rebounds for Denver, which was without starting center Nene (knee), but got 21 surprising points from Joey Graham to stay close.
Nonetheless, Denver made a first-round exit for the sixth time in seven years.
The Northwest Division champions staved off elimination with a 116-102 win on Wednesday and kept it a one-possession game for the opening 5 1/2 minutes of the final stanza on Friday.
An Anthony bucket tied things at 95-all prior to a game-altering 11-0 Jazz spurt, which Millsap started with a three-point play near the midway point.
The final nine points in the stretch came from the charity stripe, as Denver was called for two technical fouls in the two-minute span.
A pair of Matthews makes at the line made it 106-95 with under 4:23 to play, and Ronnie Price's reverse layup answered a Billups make for a double-digit game again.
After exchanging free throws, Billups and Anthony missed three-point tries on Denver's next two possessions. Graham hit a layup with 1:47 left to cut the deficit to 109-100 and forced a quick turnover.
However, Billups missed a layup in transition and Millsap grabbed the rebound with 1:28 left. Denver was forced to foul the rest of the way, and the Jazz were more than willing to seal the win and the series at the foul line.
"I'm terribly excited about the way these guys played, the effort they put in to win a ball game," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said. "We started off this series and were in tough position because we lost two guys (Mehmet Okur and Andrei Kirilenko) who couldn't play. But the guys came in and played in their place and I thought did a terrific job."
Utah was on top 32-23 after 12 minutes and increased the margin to 50-35 on a Kyle Korver jumper just past the midway point of the second.
Nuggets interim head coach Adrian Dantley was whistled for a technical foul shortly thereafter for arguing an offensive foul called on Anthony. Korver hit the freebie for a 53-39 scored with 4:13 left in the half, but the events apparently sparked the Nuggets, who scored the next 13 points.
Graham, who did not play more than three minutes in any of the previous games in the series, netted the final 11 in the flurry, the final points coming off a putback of his own miss to cut the deficit to 53-52 in the final minute.
The foul-filled first half ended with Utah clinging to a 56-54 edge.
Denver built on the momentum by scoring the first 10 points out of the locker room, the last six coming off consecutive Billups three-pointers for a 64-56 advantage.
The Jazz answered with a 13-3 spurt to take the lead back, 69-67, on Boozer's deep jumper near the midway point. It was back-and-forth from there, with Kosta Koufos' putback just before the buzzer giving the Jazz a 83-80 lead.
Game Notes
The Nuggets ended a streak of five consecutive first-round exits last season by reaching the conference finals. They are now 0-10 when trying to erase a 3-1 deficit to win a seven-game playoff series...Williams had recorded at least 20 points and 10 assists in each of the first five games of a playoff set, the first NBA player to accomplish such a feat...Utah has won three of four playoff series all-time against Denver...Price had 12 points for the Jazz, who shot 52.2 percent from the field...J.R.Smith ended with just three points for the Nuggets, who made 27-of-40 from the foul line...The Nuggets turned 19 Jazz turnovers into 32 points...Okur (Achilles) is out for the entire postseason, but Kirilenko, rehabbing a calf injury, may return against the Lakers.

He is board certified and an excellent allergist. He has a very informative website and has helped many patients with allergies. He successfully treated myself, family members, co-workers and close friends with severe allergies. Some of these people I know had such severe allergies that their medication was causing constant drowsiness. But after switching to better medication or allergy shots for some, they are doing so much better. I've thanked the person who referred me to Dr. Davidson and in turn have had friends thank me for referring them to him also.

I've tired of people asking me, "Hey man, did you hear Alfa's coming back to the States in two years?" The hell they are.
Even though it seems more likely than it ever will be, I won't actually grab a steering wheel with an Alfa Romeo badge in the center and stare out the window at American traffic. This is unfortunately depending on many ducks marching together in a row-and they might be badged as Chryslers and Dodges and Jeeps. Chryslers and Dodges and Jeeps, oh my!
All the Chrysler Group brings to the table is a really embittered dealer and distribution network, some average minivans, fattened pickup trucks, and a Jeep brand with zero clear strategy. Everything else is a Fiat Group automobile and both Alfa Romeo and Lancia remain practically stillborn. Some recipe for success.
And all the dorks looking through rose-colored glasses who snap back that the 8C Competizione is a clear sign that this is the real deal, it's all I can do to keep from bitch-slapping them with Fiat Group profit reports.
The 8C Competizione and Spider are not truly Alfas. They are beautiful sports cars on old Maserati chassis assembled between the Fiat plant at Mirafiori and the same line as the Granturismo in Modena. And, by the way, cost huge money yet add nothing to the bottom line.
Setting polemics aside, however, I have just driven the 2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta, the 2010 Alfa Romeo 8C Spider whose raison d'être I maybe just ridiculed a little too much, and the Pininfarina Alfa Romeo 2ettottanta showcar that stopped all hearts at the 2010 Geneva show.
The 8C Spider is by far the best Alfa Romeo-badged street car, dynamically, technologically, and image-y, ever built. (Many will even agree that it is also the best looking.)
The new Giulietta is the best driving "civilian" Alfa Romeo ever built, and by that I mean a car that can take on the world and sell in many thousands of units-if only the back office's traditional dysfunction can be solved first.
The purely show Pininfarina 2ettottanta brings blood- red tears of excruciating lust to my eyes. If this gem doesn't get built, then this new push to make Alfa Romeo a global premium player will crash hard into the wall. Again. The apprehensive part of all this tear-stained lechery is that everyone begged Alfa to build the Italdesign Giugiaro Brera the moment we saw it at the 2002 Geneva show. And build it they did, badly. Both the Brera and current Spider from Alfa are nice lookers that drive like pigs on stilettos.
But the 2011 Giulietta honestly grabs my attention. The architecture, called "Compact," is a new construction using only a few old bits from existing parts bins. My drive time in and around Fiat's proving grounds at Balocco was fairly dynamic stuff with lots of forced lateral-g action on road and track, and it seems the Alfa boffins have squeaked out a good 'un on a very tight budget. The Giulietta comes the closest yet to being a new Alfa that can stand on its own and realistically dream of taking on the Germans. But it had better resist the temptation to cost like a German or it's game over.
Alfa must sell as many cars as each of the German three-Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz-to be taken seriously worldwide. Last year, while all the big German premium houses were tickling one million or more as usual, Alfa Romeo sold a grand total of 102,000 cars. In a bold effort to thrill, Alfa has declared that the Giulietta should sell 100,000 units per annum all by itself. They'll probably be lucky to hit 60k and it won't be the car's fault.

A new study focused on low income preschool children discovered more evidence that Tennessee is losing its battle with childhood obesity. "Obesity in most cases is more energy in and less energy out, so we have an imbalance," explained Pediatrician Dr. Lindy Fenlason. She continued, "If our environment is such where were are not doing a lot of physical activity, if we are not walking, we are driving, we are not active, if we do not have access to healthy foods, that is going to put us at a higher risk for imbalance." According to health officials, Tennessee's low income children have been struggling with an imbalance for years. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls childhood obesity a looming health crisis since children can go on to grow up to face serious illnesses. "Obesity affects everybody. We know that we are most concerned about is some of the chronic illnesses it puts us at risk for diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. There are also psychological affects to obesity as well," Dr. Fenlason said. Despite federal WIC programs giving low income families access to healthier food options, Dr. Fenlason said there is still a need for education that will teach families to make the most of those choices. According to Dr. Fenlason, one of the best ways to keep tabs on your child's obesity risks is by talking with a doctor during regular check ups.

Exactly!!! You'd know this if you read the book or even seen the movie!
Yeah, thats true
Yes you just took it out of my mouth!
She doesn't hate Bella per se. She thinks that she sees Bella doing things that Rosalie did when she was a human, like focusing on a goal to the point she didn't truly recognize the dangers of her choices. Rosalie turns her regrets and self-anger on Bella, but she doesn't know or understand Bella at all.
Rosalie always explain to Bella that she doesn't hate her, she just doesn't understand why Bella wants to resign life, she doesn't even hate her for taking Edward, but it's just that she didn't have the possibility to choose and when Bella chose, she did ''wrong''...

text: ETB Travel News > Australia > 10 types of tweets that work best for hotels 10 types of tweets that work best for hotels August 22, 2011 Australia, Industry News No comments 10 types of tweets that work best for hotels If you're running out of things to tweet about, then we have some ideas for you… 1) Respond to questions, comments and mentions. For many hotels, Twitter still remains a service and conversational medium. The majority of content should be @replies to people talking about your hotels, your brand, or your area. Responses to yoru followers build relationships and show that it's not all about pushing commercial messages.2) Retweeting positive feedback. Retweeting positive messages from customers will act as salespeople for your brand. You don't need to share every comment, but the occasional recommendation as a retweet will show you that acknowledge advocates and appreciate their comments.3) Retweeting other resources. This helps you curate what is cool while giving credit to the source. You could always tweet links directly, but retweeting other content will help build important relationships by raising their own Twitter profile. Plus, retweets introduce your followers to new sources of information.4) Sharing recommendations. This strategy helps build a brand personality. Lifestyle information can be very popular on Twitter, so define the image you are building and then share information and recommendations around this.5) Spotlighting media mentions. If your hotel get mentioned in the media, pass that information along to your Twitter followers. Highlighting stories on Twitter can amplify the coverage by providing an opportunity for additional exposure through retweets and viral word of mouth.6) Ask questions. Twitter can act as a 24/7 virtual focus group, and can be a powerful way to do market research. Next time you have a question – or would like to get a second opinion – ask your followers what they think. Eg a menu change, what they think of the new paint colour for your renovations etc 7) Running contests. Some of the best contests leverage the power of questions to increase participation. Eg ask your followers to submit their favourite thing about the location/area. 8) Offering real-time information. Twitter is by design a real-time media format, and this can be very helpful when up-to-the-minute information is required. We see this often in breaking news situations: Twitter becomes the best source for knowing what is happening right now. In the context of hotels and hospitality, it is possible to use this real-time medium eg if there is a storm or bad weather. By following and acting quickly on a news event, you can help stranded travellers. It can also work well for events, sharing timely tips for attendees.9) Sharing personal thoughts. Depending on the voice and style you want to communicate in your Twitter account, it may be appropriate to include personal thoughts in your hotels' Twitter stream. Typically this approach works best for small hotels where the owner also acts as the public spokesperson. Eg instead of just promoting your hotel services and promotions, you can include links and resources on topics you're interested in, such as food, travel, design etc. It brings a personality to your brand. 10) Staff recruitment. Twitter can be a valuable way to recruit talented team members. You can use Twitter to offer career advice, CV tips, and guidance to potential applicants.

Not all that many years ago the preponderance of energy generated by Earths residents was fear-based. Now, the billions of good personsonly a few are notare responding in accordance with their passion to help right wrongs wherever they are. Change rarely starts at the top and filters down, it starts at the bottom and flows upward, and this is happening throughout your world. Emails to my mother let us know that many of you felt heartened by our recent messages wherein we enumerated some of the myriad ways that love-light is bringing about changes for the wellbeing of peoples everywhere.
The downside, if you will, is that along with the wondrous effects of that abundance of energy comes impatience for dramatic differences. Our beloved Earth family, you are transforming your world! Even with the ongoing assistance of our universal family, an undertaking of that magnitude can only be achieved incrementally. In Earths energy field of potential, all manner of benevolent changes are gaining momentum in accordance with thoughts, feelings and actions increasingly focused in light-filled directions. Your light is opening hearts and minds, helping to heal those who are sorrowing, bringing closer the day when Earth once again is a paradise.
And that brings us to the email from a reader at Ra Kendra Centre in the Philippines, which we include by permission:
The way to dispel darkness is to let the Light through.... LIGHT, LIGHT, LIGHT IN ACTION.
To negotiate from the heart, radiating Light, Love and Peace makes motives transparent and can bring about a meeting of minds for the common good ( this is with direct reference to peace through negotiation to resolve the conflict in Syria).
Peace is not related to war as we understand and express it. PEACE IS A STATE OF BEING EXISTING AS ITSELF WITHIN EVERYONE, although it seems that it is not being given a chance to express itself pervasively somehow. While the varied perspectives and expressions of human tendencies may impulse and express as war, destruction, etc., among some of us, these can be rendered impotent or re-focused as creative good by the strength of the desire for peace in many of us ......PEACE REIGNING IN THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE is our goal, not the stopping of violence and atrocities to others and ourselves, which will surely stop or get transmuted/ transformed when peace prevails.
Let us remember our basics....that all are expressions of Consciousness as Energy; the variation lies in how we relate to it and eventually give it expression.
So, beloveds, as soon as we feel the impulse of our passion for peace being drawn to the direction of outrage and other forms that will fan the conflagration of distortions, let us breathe deeply a few times and redirect our focus into the source of that passion....OUR HEART OF HEARTS WHERE DWELL PEACE, LOVE, WILL TO GOOD. This can bring us to negotiating for peace peacefully instead of fighting for peace.
That said, I thank you all, and as our song goes, LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH AND LET IT BEGIN WITH ME....
We honor those souls at the Centre and the countless others who are sending forth love-light. By universal law, the energy of peace within hearts and minds is hastening the day when all souls in your world will live harmoniously with each other and with Nature.
All light beings in this universe are with you, cheering you ever forward and embracing you in unconditional love.
LOVE and PEACE
Suzanne Ward

The first sign of danger encountered at the embassy was when an RPG was fired at the walls and armed militants stormed the compound.
My question: Who made up the story about there being a protest about a video?
And the hits just keep coming.

These Write Faith poems are examples of Faith poems about Write. These are the best examples of Write Faith poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
I am Reality's angel
resting on the broad shoulders of discovery
the truth feeds darkness and engulfs its target
ideas and concepts in turn become meaningless to you
there is a creator of all things
He is just and patient
many still have fallen into the masses of shadow
wrapped in their own filthy idols of philosophy
I have seen grown men fall like rose petals
and weaklings rise into unjust leaders
forever the follower of furtive evil
dominating only to remain inferior
the most important answers lie in the unseen regions
where no sense can fully give assurance
the mind that so many unreasonably twist and turn
grows weary because of the distance it must take
and truth be told the distance is not what frustrates
it is knowing we are seeking something far
that could very possibly not exist,
that our minds can twist into theoretical, idealistic nonsense
it is knowing all we really think we know
is meaningless
and yes—even a lie
all that has been written thus far rests under my wings
under the warmth in which you refuse to feel
can you believe in me—
though I am completely unseen?
how much more difficult would it be to see
I can imagine : staring in the eyes of : Elizabeth Barret Browning
Seeing the " Glory of LOVE '; bring on the " Sorrow of LOVE "
The sweet outstanding " Black LOVE " of Edgar Allen POE
" Edna St. Vincent Millay " and I Believe in GOD'S Creation
To sit beside Carrie Richards; Watching POETRY Created
To Live , In the mind of the Teacher " Carolyn Devonshire"
To Understand the Language , as the Great Master " Dr. Ram Mehta "
To know ,FOREVER LOVE as the " SweetHeart" ~ Linda-Marie ~
I have Forever Dreamed: of someday being a POET Laureate
How silly is my mind, when Emotions, have Died Long Ago
Words are Earthly : I can not understand their meaning, "PURPOSE"
If Only the HEART deep with-in the Soul : could write POETRY
" I Could "
I usually write in couplet rhyme
Its simply what I do it's not by design
It's just the way the words seem to flow
Into my head up out of my soul
I love the ones that are full of light
See they are what brought me up out of the night
People prove they care by the things that they do
So I write this light for all of you
I write it because I wish you to know
True beauty is born with-in the soul
The soul is a thing that cherishes the light
Do you not embrace the stars through the dark of night
Well as you do know my words are true
They may twinkle bright but not as bright as you
You are angels who covered me in your prayers
Let me know I'm someone worthy of care
I hold you all in my heart just like my wife
Like her you are "a blessing in my life"
Dear Lord, please grant me:
The Inspiration to write good poetry
The right words to give Inspiration
Wisdom when commenting on my fellow poets' writing
Time to actually comment in the first place
The gift of Premium Membership for a friend
An internet connection that doesn't die when I press 'submit'
A pencil that doesn't always need sharpening
The ability to write a sonnet
And, the insight to actually understand Kristin's poems
Thank you Lord. Amen

A puzzle piece you are to me
Like a vine without any leaves.
Your heart is pure your soul is
Gold, the sweetest thing I'll
ever hold! A miracle in my eyes
it seemed, knowing they said
no babies for me! Always a
surprise you seem to be just
like a puzzle piece! At 9 months
you walked but not until 4 did
you first talk! Always a terror
making a beautiful mess always
a surprise that has yet to be
met! The twists and turns I
know we will see will seem
somewhat like a roller coaster
to me! The milestones and
special gifts you bring will make
my life seem Like a dream, my
special boy I have always said
How special I knew not till
Aspergers they said! The
journey will be trying the
journey will seem long! But
with our family together we will
chug along! My special boy I
love you so and cannot wait to
see you mature and grow! Now
we have a goal we have our
dream you see to make you the
perfect fitting puzzle piece!!

Mommy loves you to eternity
and beyond! Forever and
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch some pails of water
Jack climbed some trees while Jill was picking some pretty flowers
After some hours Jack realized that he was wasting time
So he called Jill to hurry up before 'tis half past nine
So off they went to continue their very long journey
'Till they passed by an old beggar and gave him some money
When they both reached the well Jack and Jill filled up their buckets
Near the well were some berries which they put in their pockets
When they reached home their momma and papa were so happy
For dinner they had meatballs and soup and chicken curry
And five bags of bananas which a rich neighbor gave them
The good that you do to others will always be returned
Bitter by ; being mentally bruised and battered most of my life,
shaken with fright without a single soul to help me
through the troubles unseen horrors of the night,
from an evil source that I fear to strike.
But as the evil forces, who limited my choices
that when I found my stallion horses.
Swiftly it came to my head I can run and I cannot hide,
feeling the Beast closing in on every time I decide to hide.
Tired of running and tired of alluding this
relentless creep as my red bolt eyes weep
feeling rest-less, likes a lonely defeated warrior from his home in retreat
that is when I knew it time to rest, to release my Beast.
But in a fight, I may not win however as I cast out my dirty words sin
I made sure it felt my impact, to the bloody end.
by Keith Relf
Such an Amazing girl god put into my life.
He knew i needed you at that exact time
Funny when we met I thought you were to good for me
But when you approached me the sweetest girl I did meet.
From that day on we have never truly been apart cause I
carry you around everywhere in my heart. You have been the
rock when I needed a friend around, you have been the light
when the darkness consumed me and took away my sunshine
Even when were miles apart the phone connects us and keeps
our strongest bond. 17 years feels like such a short time but
I feel I have always had you in my life. Soul Sisters we were
meant to be.. You my beloved friend are such a fresh breeze
Even after a year apart it was like yesterday that we did part
so through the many miles and through the long hard road
I know this friendship will always survive. Your a burst of joy
to me each day I thank the Lord for the sweet blessing he gave!

In the dream world where reality becomes a fantasy
And fantasy becomes reality.
The impossible is made possible and death becomes no threat. Mountains turn to a plain ground and are surmountable.
In the dream world I can do the impossible and see the invincible. I can spread my wings, soar and fly through the clouds reaching the altitude of my fortune and destiny.
In the dream world I am unstoppable and unquestionable, conquering all my adversaries. The treasures of this world are at my disposal, kings and kingdoms are my subjects.
In the dream world wishes don't count but choices are made. That is why I have made the choice to have you as mine forever. In my dream world where there is no pain but gain, no distress but fortress, no cross but crown.
"Stop!" Said the Master
"You've just made a silly mistake!
"You're learning more and faster
"Don't you need me anymore?"
"Is it a crime" Said the wrong I,
"To think more before I answer?"
"No doubt!" Said the Great Master
"For you've just made a silly mistake:
"You've desecrated the right- Not To Answer;
"Would you like me to end your fate?
"You know?...eh..mm...
"My duty is to make you learn
"How to be loyal, smart and stern,
"How to think, link and burn
"Every single common thought you earn:
"Grasp my preachings and you'll adjourn
"All your dreams and in turn
"You'll be blessed for unconcern."
"Good Heavens" Said the silly I
"I thought I utter'd something wise!
"Now I must learn- Not To Try
"I'll never ask him How and Why?!"
"A long time ago" Said the Class Preacher
"I think I made your silly mistake:
"I was a somewhat poor young creature
"When I thought my Master's fake-
"But, thank God! As My Master Preacher
"Forgave my silly mistake."
As the tight room was suffocating
Some intruders were grabbing chairs
All of them were vainly fighting
For a tight place unawares....
They succeeded to steal the charm
From the Preacher who worshipped calm
Till they caused His alarm:
"Where are these chairs from?!" Yelled He.
"Have I gone or am I done?!
"THIS- a Treason of Highest Degree!
"Protect the CHAIRMAN...!" Cried everyone...

Gift of Kenneth Hill in April 2001.
Biography/Administrative History
William Henry Jackson was born April 4, 1843 in Keeseville, New York. While growing up, Jackson taught himself how to paint and draw; at the age of 15, he was first exposed to photography through a job he took at a local photographer's studio. After serving in the Civil War, he went to Omaha, Nebraska to help run a photography studio with his brothers. In 1869, Jackson was approached by Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, the head of the United States Geological Survey of the Territories, who asked Jackson to join his team. Jackson did so, and for the next seven years took photographs of hot springs, geysers, and mineral formations in the territory that is now Yellowstone National Park. After this project, Jackson began to take photographs of landmarks along the Union Pacific Railroad to sell to tourists. At some point between 1885 and 1890, Jackson traveled to California and took photographs of the California missions, which were then in ruins and being viewed in a romantic light as part of California's mythic past. To cater to tourists, Jackson photographed most, if not all, of the missions and sold them to the steady stream of sightseers. At the age of 81, Jackson swapped photography for painting, focusing on the development of the American West as his subjects. He died on June 30, 1942 in New York City at the age of 99.
Scope and Content of Collection
The California Missions were a favored subject for photographers at the turn of the nineteenth century. William Henry Jackson, like many of his contemporaries, capitalized on the romantic interest in the ruins, and took photographs to sell to tourists. While the photographs are primarily artistic works of the architecture alone, a few photographs have people in them. Of note is (11), taken at San Juan Bautista, where a photographer can be seen on the left with his large-format camera, setting up his own shot.

David Levinthal: War Games
David Levinthal, a central figure in the history of American postmodern photography, has staged uncanny tableaux using toys and miniature dioramas for nearly 40 years. Mounted to celebrate the museum's acquisition of a major, career-spanning body of work, this exhibition features the artist's photography on the subject of war. It is organized by students of the Curatorial Seminar at the Corcoran College of Art + Design, an innovative course led by curators of the Corcoran's department of Photography and Media Arts.
Levinthal's combat-related tableaux constitute a remarkable critique of the ways society experiences conflict through its portrayal. His groundbreaking project Hitler Moves East (1975–77), a series of imagined scenes from World War II's Russian front, first established his reputation, becoming a touchstone for the iconoclastic generation of American photographers that includes artists like Cindy Sherman and Richard Prince. Wild West (1987–89), Levinthal's best-known body of work, explores the American frontier and the American Indian Wars, filtered through the lens of Hollywood westerns and late-20th-century advertising. Mein Kampf (1993–94) luridly re-enacts Adolph Hitler's theatrical rallies as well as horrifying scenes from the Holocaust. Levinthal's I.E.D.(2008) echoes contemporary news imagery of our military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan.
May 9, 7 p.m.: Annual Dudley Memorial Lecture: An Evening with David Levinthal and Roger Rosenblatt. Free; pre-registration encouraged
Meet David Levinthal on Corcoran People.
Unveiled: The Corcoran Curatorial Seminar Takes Manhattan
War Games is presented alongside the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's seminal survey exhibition WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath, on view at the Corcoran June 29–September 29, 2013.

End the self-destructive war on drugs
Congratulations to Bob Ehrlich for pointing out that the United States, the supposed "land of the free," is now the largest jailer nation in the world ("Obama's unpardonable neglect of clemency," Jan. 13). This country is using its own legal system to tear itself apart, and for what? It's a word no one dares use, but it's what we have here in America — prohibition, also known as the "war on drugs." And I applaud Mr. Ehrlich for pointing in the right direction, but tinkering with parole and pardons is little more than arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Many factors come into play when designing a restaurant. The décor and ambience represent obvious considerations but one design element many concepts fail to consider is building flexibility into the front-of-house, middle-of-house and back-of-house designs.
Juan Martinez recounts his NRA Show experiences and looks forward to 2015.
Juan Martinez previews this year's NRA Show.
While economists and politicians continue to debate the impact a minimum wage increase will have on businesses, members of the foodservice industry are better served minding their P's by focusing on processes, procedures, people, products and platforms, writes consultant Juan Martinez.
For top brands, they have fast-casual differentiators down to a science -- and Juan Martinez provides a checklist to get started.
While innovation remains a restaurant industry buzz word, deciding which innovations are right for a foodservice operation depends on the specific challenges the business faces in executing its brand promise.
Menu innovation is a wonderfully dynamic topic but we should all realize that it does not have to be complicated.
Menu innovation is neccessary for long-term success but it can create a chain reaction that negatively affects cutomer service. Juan Martinez reviews a few pitfalls and gives his expert advice on how to avoid them.
Labor represents a cost all foodservice operators must address and political and social unrest can inadvertently affect this are. In this blog post, consultant Juan Martinez explores the way operators can react to the issues of the day and the potential positive and negative affects these steps can have on their businesses.
Let industrial engineering techniques inspire you.
Foodservice design can be an intriguing balancing act as designers look to accommodate the needs of the front and back of the house without compromising either. In this post, Juan Martinez takes a philosophical approach at finding balance in foodservice design.

Linda Seger's home looks like any other now but five years ago there was water flooded her entire first floor.No lives were lost due to the flood on June 13, 2008 but Seger and 10,000 others were displaced.
"It was a real shocker to know that you have your home for 30-some years and you come and your home is destroyed and suddenly you become one of those people you never thought you would be, homeless," said Seger.
While the city had seen flooding before, nobody expected the Cedar River to crest at higher than 31 feet. The flood impacted more than ten square miles of the city.
"People were sandbagging around storm sewers," said Maura Pilcher, Czech Village New Bohemia Main Street District. "They were sandbagging around the front doors but nobody really expected it to get to the point that it did.
Immediately after the flooding the recovery conversations began.
"The town is resilient," said Ron Corbett, Cedar Rapids Mayor. "We needed to re-build. And not just re-build the way it was. We wanted to rebuild better."
Maura Pilcher studied the New Bohemia and Czech Village neighborhoods during graduate school.She turned in her thesis days before the flooding. After the flood, that thesis was used to make sure the history of the district wasn't lost.
"We were constantly trying to make sure that we were building something that was going to be sustainable into the future and making sure that the right decisions were made as far as which buildings could be rehabbed and how and do it for the betterment of the whole community," said Pilcher.
Today empty storefronts are slowly gaining new businesses and companies are looking to move to the district.
Rebuilding is happening all over the city. The new downtown library will open this summer. A new central fire station is under construction. Several other projects have already been completed.
"If you drive around the community, you drive around downtown you will see a lot of private sector investment coming back in to the community," said Joe O'Hern, Former Flood Recovery and Reinvestment Director. "I think we have moved off of the flood recovery phase. We still have work to do"
Work that includes challenges , like seeing flood protection built on both sides of the Cedar River. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved a project for the east side, but not the west. Finding funding for both projects has been an ongoing challenge.
Other city projects are in better shape.
"We certainly are seeing a lot of rebuilding at this point in time," said O'Hern.
In the Time Check area, many flood damaged homes were demolished. Several lots will be left as green space. Construction is underway to rebuild others, filling in some of the empty lots farther away from the river.
Linda Seger rebuilt her own home with the help of family.
"Every one of us in our own heart, our desire is always to go back home," said Seger.
Now the progress made by city leaders is inspiring others, including private businesses, to invest in all areas of Cedar Rapids, not just the flood zone.
"We have invested in Cedar Rapids," said Corbett. "The private sector has seen that investment and now they are investing in Cedar Rapids."
Those private projects include Westdale Mall, a $90 million investment and the potential Cedar Rapids casino, a $100 million investment that would include some flood protection.
City leaders believe both projects show Cedar Rapids will continue to grow in the future.

The sunscreen aisle of the grocery store or drugstore these days is big and confusing. The shelves are loaded with gels, sticks, sprays, and oil-free versions in addition to the traditional lotions we grew up with.
What's the best kind to get? That depends on you, says dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD, of Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
The best sunscreen is the one you're willing to use every day. The next step is to ask yourself these six questions to help make a perfect sunscreen match:
6 Questions to Ask
- Are you sporty? Then the gels are best, as they adhere well while you move and sweat, he says.
- Do you break out? Then the oil-free kind is best. Do you have dry skin? Use a creamy sunscreen.
- Do you have sensitive skin or rosacea? Then stay away from chemical blockers, opting for mineral (or physical) blockers instead. They use either zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which sit on the skin's surface. Chemical blockers are absorbed into the skin and can be irritating.
- Are you shopping for your kids? Then the stick kind is best as its formulation is waxy, which keeps it from dripping into their eyes. If you have a baby or toddler, choose a mineral/physical sunblock (think zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) that may be less irritating to the skin. But if you have a baby who is less than 6 months old, you should keep her out of the sun. "Babies have much more sensitive skin than adults, and sunscreen should be avoided," states the American Academy of Dermatology's web site.
- Are you bald? It doesn't matter what kind of sunscreen you use, just make sure to slather the sunscreen all over your head. Or better yet, wear a hat. Even better? Do both, said Whitney Bowe, MD, assistant medical director for cosmetic and laser services at Advanced Dermatology PC in Westchester, N.Y.
- Are you hairy? Then the sprays and gels are best as they don't take forever to rub in, clinging to hairs like creams do, Zeichner says.
Apply It Right
Apply your sunscreen about 15 minutes before you go outside so that it has a chance to adhere to your skin in a cool environment. If you put it on while you're outside, you could sweat it off, Bowe says.
You probably need to use more than you think: at least 1ounce -- or a full shot glass worth -- for your whole body every two hours, more often if you've gone swimming or have been sweating, Bowe says. Your face needs a nickel-sized amount.
Seems like too much? It's not. Research has shown that most people only apply a quarter to half the amount their body actually needs. And that can leave you, well, burned. "Applying half the amount will effectively give you protection of the square root of the SPF," Zeichner says.
Reapply right after swimming and sweating. If you've been using a water-resistant sunscreen, check the label to see how long the water resistance lasts.
Don't forget your lips, which need a lip balm or lipstick that contains sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
Got an old bottle of sunscreen? It may be time to replace it. If you've had it a year or more, check the expiration date on the bottle.

Dina met with Kardashian family matriarch Kris Jenner shortly after agreeing to allow E! TV cameras into her home for the new series Mrs Eastwood & Company, which debuts in America on Sunday May 20.
She admits the reality TV stalwart is one hell of a businesswoman - and she's thrilled about sharing the same channel with the Kardashians.
Eastwood says, ""I think she's really cool... I think she's the greatest businesswoman of our time for television... Kris Jenner does have it dialled in.
""Our production company said, 'You have to go to lunch with her and buckle up for what's gonna happen to your life...' She's really sweet.""

Guess the Decade: Architectural Living Room - The Answer
How did the Apartment Therapy design minds do on the latest round of Guess the Decade? Jump below to find out...
If you guessed the 90s you know your stuff! The room is from a private residence designed by Maya Lin in the late 1990s - 1998 to be exact.
The majority of the AT readers (103) got it right on the money, choosing the 90s as the decade of the design. 87 readers guessed "now" and the 80s trailed way back with only 25 votes. The earlier decades got a few votes, but overall, the votes went to the more recent decades.
A few interesting observations from the comment thread:
Something about the lighting looks recent - it doesn't seem like regular old light bulb lighting - maybe it's halogen? Makes me think 90s. - DianeG
I went with 90's only because of the girth of the tv in the red wagon. Hard to believe TVs were ever that bulky even though that was the norm not too many years ago! - LilyC
This is a tough one, but my gut says 90s, mainly because of the color scheme used here. - suzy8track
This was a hard one. It would have to be at the very end of the 1990s or very early 2000s. Especially with the two obvious clues. I'm not distracted by the CRT TV. It sees to be an art installation, rather than for viewing. - quiltmaster
Thanks for playing along!

I recognized those stools right away. I never would have guessed that Maya Lin did the whole room though.
Pretty easy. The TV is a dead giveaway, the color pallette is clearly 90s. The legs of the couch and the stairs say it's at least 1990s. The kitchen cabinet in the distance.
Cool stuff though. It would still be very cool today.
didnt see the tv. that observation would have led me to the proper conclusion.
got it!
anyone know who makes that sofa? love it
My question is this: If a room doesn't have a flat screen is the decor, by default, dated?
"If a room doesn't have a flat screen is the decor, by default, dated?"
Even though I am too late to guess, it was easy. The giveaway for me was the style of picture frame (thickness of wood, chunky mat). A thinner frame would have indicated an earlier period.
The color scheme does remind me of a lot of Metrolpolitan Home magazine covers from the time period.
Woo Hoo! Finally got it right!
What is en vogue when it comes to matting?

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) While most of us focus on the Memorial Day weekend, a few Wisconsin politicians face an important deadline today. Those not running for re-election this fall must file documents about their intentions with the Government Accountability Board. If they don't do it by this afternoon, candidates who want to replace them get three extra days to circulate their nomination papers.
22 state Assembly members and seven senators are bowing out after this fall -- the most in decades. Of those, Senate Republican Dale Schultz of Richland Center and Assembly Republican Chad Weininger of Green Bay are the only ones not to file their required paperwork. Both say they expect to do so today. State Treasurer Kurt Schuller is not running, either, and he had not filed his paperwork at last word.
Campaign committees of both parties do not expect last-minute bomb-shells from anyone who has not already announced their intentions to step down. The non-candidacy forms have been required for years. That was after some lawmakers hand-picked their successors, by withholding their decisions to step down until it was too late for other possible suitors to file their nomination papers.

There were 4 more corn deliveries which makes the next available date March 28, 2013.

OFFICIAL SUBMISSION: Metro's "Race to Space" Contest
Dear Sir/Madame,
I am writing to tell you why I should be named the winner of your global competition to send one lucky reader into outer space. When I first read about your contest I knew it was meant to be. You see, I've been dreaming of blasting off ever since I was a little girl. My father was an eccentric scientist who taught me Einstein's theory of relativity when I was just five years old. When I was thirteen, he constructed a space shuttle in our barn. The local authorities wanted to shut the project down, saying he was crazy and a danger to local wildlife, but boy did he ever show them. One dusky evening in August my father launched himself into the earth's atmosphere for what was intended to be a brief twenty-minute round-trip to outer-space. Sadly, I never saw my father again.
Bullies in the school yard would later try to convince me that my father's rocket-launch was actually a "meth-lab explosion" and that he was on the run from the law. But I know better. I know that my father's disappearance can only mean that his mission succeeded but somehow he is being prevented from returning to Earth. Yep, I know he's up there, orbiting the Earth as we speak, desperately searching for a way to return to his family. So you see, it is my destiny to win this contest. I must travel to outer space to rescue my father and bring him home after all these years.
Ever since that day, I've been preparing myself mentally and physically for my grand rescue attempt. I started by doing extensive research on space travel by reading the works of Douglas Adams and watching countless episodes of The X-files, Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica. Through this research I have familiarized myself with technical terms such as "tractor beam" and "DRADIS control" and I am currently working on telling the difference between "light-speed" and "warp-speed".
I also am prepared for the grueling physical effects of space on the human body. I was on the rowing team in high school so I'm pretty sure I could easily return to that level of fitness for the space mission, as long as I start training now… The only problem is that I've been avoiding the YMCA after my credit card expired in April and I really don't want to pay for the last six months that I haven't been to the gym.
I am aware that the life of an astronaut is far from glamourous and I believe I have what it takes to endure the endless stream of dehydrated nutrition. The summer after my third year of university, I decided to experience the life of a starving artist by refusing to get a full time job in order to devote my time to filmmaking. I spent all of my savings on rental equipment and food for the cast and crew, meanwhile sustaining myself on a diet of microwaved hotdogs and manzanilla olives for an entire summer. I think it's safe to say that after that experience, an astronaut's diet will be a cake walk. (Mmmm…cake..).
As a natural communicator and problem solver, I am confident that I would be an appropriate candidate for first contact should our crew encounter a fleet of hostile alien species. I find that most species would describe me as friendly and approachable or at the very least, a source of comic relief when tensions get a high. I pride myself on my ability to collaborate with others so I'm sure with my help we'd all be drinking galactic cocktails within the hour and laughing about that time they thought our fleshy earthling bodies looked cyber chicken wings.
If nothing else, I would be an asset to the mission for the purpose of entertaining the crew on our long, boring flight to space with my extensive library of Broadway show tunes. I will dazzle my fellow astronauts with my zero-gravity one-woman rendition of everybody's favourite musical, Cats.
By now I hope the choice is obvious. Sure, some people say I'm crazy, that I'm chasing an impossible dream. Some say I just want to win this trip for the fame, or the hot astronauts and the zero gravity sex. Some may even say that this whole thing sounds vaguely like the plot of the 2006 film "Astronaut Farmer" starring Billy Bob Thornton. But I hope you look into your hearts, and see that deep down, I'm just a girl trying to find her father after all these years.

This was absolutely delicious! My husband, who is a light eater, cleaned his plate. He doesn't like asparagus, so I substituted green beans. They took longer than 2 minutes to cook, and I added a little wine for liquid. Next time, I'll partially steam the green beans before adding to the mushroom mixture. This is definitely a special dinner recipe.
Grilled Duck with Warm Mushroom Salad and Truffle Vinaigrette

A drizzle of little more than vinegar and truffle oil adds divine flavor to this dish. Be sure not to overcook the duck, or it will be tough; it's safe to cook duck until 160º, when it's still a little pink (medium).

Avondale police say two children who hadn't been seen since a visitation with their father on March 18 have been found.
11-year-old Asadullah Hines and his brother, 12-year-old Muhammad Hines were authorized to visit their father, Lawrence Hines.
Police say they hadn't returned to school and were believed to be living with Lawrence out of a blue Kia Sedona with license plate BAN0555, possibly in the west valley area.
Authorities didn't believe the boys were in any physical danger, but were concerned about their living situation.
Both boys were found on Tuesday night and returned to the custody of their mother.
