Manhunt - Boston BombersSeries Website »
Episode Guide »
At 2:50pm on April 15, two bomb blasts turned the Boston Marathon finish line from a scene of triumph to tragedy, leaving three dead, hundreds injured and a city gripped by heartbreak and terror. Less than five days later, the key suspects were identified and apprehended with one dead, the other in custody. How did investigators transform the chaos of the bombing into a coherent trail of clues, pointing to the accused killers? NOVA follows the manhunt step by step, examining the role modern technology -- combined with old-fashioned detective work -- played in cracking the case. Given hundreds of hours of surveillance and bystander videos, how did agents spot the bad guys in a sea of spectators? Why couldn't facial recognition software I.D. the criminals? How much could bomb chemistry analysis, cell phone GPS, infrared imagery and crowd sourcing reveal about the secrets behind this horrific crime? With the help of top criminal investigators and anti-terrorism experts, NOVA explores which technological innovations worked -- and which didn't -- in the most notorious case of today, and how the world of crime fighting could be transformed tomorrow.

Roomark: Kathryn's Tiny Home Office
Trash room turned tiny home office.
After eight years of using this as a trash room and tired of clearing the laptop off the dining room table every night, we finally decided to make better use of this space. Located off the kitchen, it original use was a gas fridge room in the 1920's. I just scored a red Eames eiffel chair off of craigslist yesterday to replace the upholstered chair!

Very cute! I think we have the same Ikea kitchen, too. Would you tell me the paint color (blue) in your office?
Would love to know where you got that wooden file box on the desk.
Hi there,
What a lovely office! I too am interested in the desk. Would you mind letting us know where you got it? Thanks!
I see you got the desk from Ikea, but what model is it? Did you paint it or is this its original state? I hope you'll let us know!

|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Voices of Giving: Barry Steinberg
Barry and his late wife, Janice, have had a life-long relationship with the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens. In 1997, ''Janice's Garden'' was dedicated in Zoo's Red Panda Woodland to remember Mrs. Steinberg after she lost her battle with cancer. As Barry relates, ''Janice loved life, savored nature's bounty to the fullest, and loved the Cincinnati Zoo.'' Mr. Steinberg believes the Cincinnati Zoo stands head and shoulders above its peers. He describes the Zoo as ''a true treasure that Cincinnati is and should be very proud of.'' Hal Klink, Mr. Steinberg's financial advisor for over 15 years, is a senior Vice President and Trust Officer with USBank. Working together revisiting Barry's estate plan in 2009, it was only natural that Mr. Steinberg's strong personal commitment to the Zoo would have a central role in the gifting strategy. What resulted was a sizable increase to Mr. Steinberg's original gift to the zoo through a bequest involving both his living trust and IRA. Mr. Steinberg's estate gift will be directed towards a major capital project at the Zoo. This gift will help ensure that the zoo's remarkable level of excellence will continue to evolve and thrive far into the future. It is with great thanks that we recognize Mr. Steinberg's generosity and forethought and Mr. Klink's pivotal role in helping make this gift a reality.

Kung Pao Shrimp

For a spicier kick to the pungent Kung Pao glaze, leave the seeds in the chiles. Chinese black vinegar has a deep, almost smoky taste. Look for it in Asian markets, or substitute balsamic vinegar for a sweeter flavor to this shrimp dish.

Despite dire predictions most employers currently offer health insurance coverage to their employees are going to "dump" their coverage as a result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2014. Those who do drop coverage will do so because their employees get better or lower cost coverage in the public health insurance exchanges than the employer can offer. However, the ACA will have profound impacts on the health insurance as an employee benefit by removing many of the barriers to the creation of private health insurance exchanges.
With apologies to Will Rogers the employment-based system of financing health care has been called the worst possible way for gaining access to health care: except for all the others. The employment-based system mitigates the problem fo adverse risk selection that would make a wholly individual insurance market unsustainable.
Many employers over the last two decades have expressed a wish to discontinue health insurance as part of employee compensation given the steady increase in the costs of health insurance and as important, the uncertainty of those costs increases year to year. The labor market has prevented larger employers from dropping coverage regardless of the intensity of their desire to do so. The problem facing employers who desired to drop coverage is that employees who value health insurance simply had limited or no options for purchasing coverage outside of their employer's plan. Employer plans have the ability to pool risk, exploit economies of scale in purchasing, and provide a tax advantage to purchasing coverage as part of compensation. Dropping coverage would make an employer much less competitive in attracting and retaining employees. In fact, during the tight labor market of the late 1990s employment-based health insurance coverage broke a two decade long trend and actually increased.
The Affordable Care Act fundamentally changes how people will purchase health insurance in the individual market and small group markets. Some of the advantages of employment-based group health insurance relative to individually purchased coverage are reduced in the public health insurance exchanges. Large employer premiums are based on the entire group: premiums in the exchanges will be based on the entire group. Marketing and administration costs in the individual exchange will come closer to the costs of large employer plans. For lower income individuals subsidies for the purchase of health insurance in the exchange will replace the income tax preference and for most, some, but not all of the employer's share of the premium.
For most large employers there are considerable risks to dropping coverage. The actual costs of coverage, the choices of plans, and the ease enrollment in the public exchange are all unknown at this point. Moreover, the tax preference given to employees in purchasing employment based coverage is lost if the employee purchases coverage in the public exchange. Employers, particularly large employers, may lose what ever competitive advantage they have in the labor market if drop health benefits.
A number of firms have promoted private health insurance exchanges as a way of retaining that competitive advantage for employers. Private health insurance exchanges have been around for some time, but they had limited success in large part because they could not pool risk. Any attempt to pool risk was defeated by the ability of good risks to find better premiums outside the exchange. Their departure threatened the exchange with an adverse selection death spiral.
The Affordable Care Act removes the threat of adverse selection in two ways. The private exchange could be designed as individual coverage regulated under the ACA. Insurers selling coverage in this type of private exchange would be required to bundle the private exchange premiums with their entire book of business for risk adjustment purposes. The employer's share of the premium could be provided through a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) preserving the employee's tax preference. This type of exchange is similar the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) exchanges under ACA but available for large employers.
Alternatively the private exchange could remain a large group plan. In this arrangement insurers selling coverage in the exchange would agree to a risk adjustment mechanism administered by the private exchange. Again the employer's share of the premium could be administered through an HRA.
Private exchanges may be attractive to employers by allowing them retain the advantages of offering health benefits while giving their employees greater choice. It also allows them to structure the benefit as a defined contribution.
There remains a great deal of uncertainty about the operation of individual insurance market in 2014 and beyond. However, the Affordable Care Act's restructuring of the individual health insurance market creates possibilities for significant changes in the employment-based health care financing system.

Insurance is the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another in exchange for payment. It is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss. An insurer, or insurance carrier, is a company selling the insurance; the insured, or policyholder, is the person or entity buying the insurance policy. The amount of money to be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage is called the premium. Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice.`,;-

BOSTON (AP) - The Egyptian kidnapper of a Boston Pentecostal pastor and two others says he's had conversations with intelligence officials about their release.
Jirmy Abu-Mashu, an Egyptian Bedouin, told The Associated Press he kidnapped the Rev. Michel Louis (mee-SHEL' loo-EE') and two others off a bus on a road between Cairo and Mount Sinai on Friday. He's demanding police release his uncle from prison. He says his uncle was jailed after refusing to pay a bribe to police.
Abu-Mashu says two intelligence officials came to his home Saturday to negotiate the captives' release. During that meeting, he says, he relocated the pastor and the two other captives -- a 39-year-old Boston woman who was traveling with the same church group and a tour guide. He says he returned the three to his home when the officials left.
Meanwhile, a senior U.S. official says that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton brought up the case of the two kidnapped Americans when she met with her Egyptian counterpart in Cairo on Saturday.
Today, there was a church service in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood to pray for the captives.

Let me preface this blog post by saying that Google has been a very important Internet player, and that the Internet wouldn't be the same without their efforts and innovations. With that said, I would like to share information with you regarding a recently released update to Google's image search functionality that is very troubling in that it materially changes the way Google image searchers respond to images that they locate.
Until a few days ago, a visitor to Google Images would see a thumbnail of the image in search results laid over the site where the original image was displayed. The website could be any site: an agency selling or displaying photographers' images, a personal website or a business that licensed images and paid a fee for them. The old Google search result presentation encouraged the surfer, to a certain degree, to visit the website where the image appeared, as the website was partially visible in the background of the located image. Critics might say that the old Google search methodology was not sufficient to protect the rights holder, as the image was always made available for download (with a "Full-size" link even provided). This criticism is at least partially correct, since our latest findings show only 25% of Google Image searchers actually went to the website that had the subject image (this doesn't mean that the other 75% downloaded the image but many probably did). Of course, a direct link from the thumbnail in the search result to the hosting website under the image appearing in Google's search results would definitely have been preferable to ensure that people did not download the image directly from Google.

Bank of New York Mellon on the Joy of Depositary Receipts (part 3)
Nick is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Bank of New York Mellon (NYSE: BK) has over 2,700 depositary receipt programs (with a market value exceeding USD 770 billion) in 68 countries and is the world's leading depositary bank. Anthony Moro, Managing Director and Head of Emerging Markets for BNY Mellon's DR business, discusses depositary receipts (foreign stocks traded on local exchanges) and the role they play in global investing.
[continued from part 2]
Nick Slepko: What can go wrong for the individual investor involved with DRs? Are there horror stories like commodities trader urban myths where they opened their front door one morning and have 5,000 tons of pork bellies on their porch. Are there ADR myths you are always having to respond to?
Anthony Moro: Not really. Companies can always misappropriate what they are trying to do. We had Parmalat which was an Italian company that did something [wrong] accounting wise – but of course Enron wasn't an ADR. US or non-US the problems are similar.
The ADRs that trade on the New York Stock Exchange comply with Sarbanes-Oxley and all the other rules and regulations that any US company must comply with to list on the exchange.
There is another segment of the DRs, a bigger segment, which trades on the over-the-counter market in the US. With those you have to do a little more homework because the compliance they have to fulfill is local market compliance only. They don't have to do both local market and US market. Depending on which country a company is in, local market requirements could be just as strenuous if not more strenuous. In the UK, South Africa, or Japan we hear all the time from issuers that it is harder to list in the local market than the US market.
Slepko: What specific homework should investors do when considering ADRs?
Moro: Every local regulatory body is going to have differences, though they all provide IFRS accounting. But different regimes will treat different aspects in different ways. But generally, the companies that have ADRs, are the bigger ones in their markets. So, with Russia's Gazprom (NASDAQOTH: OGZPY.PK), which trades on the OTC, the company has a USD 150 billion market cap and people take that as it is a relatively safe company to invest in from an accounting perspective – though I'm not saying whether the stock is good or bad. (It also has the full backing of Mr. Putin's government.)
Slepko: Why does the NYSE do better than the NASDAQ in attracting ADRs?
Moro: In the US, it's not as competitive as it was ten years ago before Sarbanes-Oxley, when there were 50 or 60 new non-US companies listing ADRs every year and we were down at the exchange every week ringing the bell with our clients. That market has dropped off considerably in the last five years since Lehman and all that.
We don't have an opinion on one over the other – but they are both excellent.
Slepko: Why is the OTC so overwhelmingly popular for ADRs?
Moro: Because those stocks aren't listed there, they are simply recorded there. It is the default location. In some ways, the NYSE views the OTC as the minor leagues and that's where they would pull all their ADR prospects from that list.
[There are three types of ADRs.] Level-1 is unsponsored DR programs with minimal filing requirements. Level-2 refers to listed programs on NYSE or NASDAQ that meet Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, and Level-3 are listed programs on an exchange that raised capital through their DR offering.
Slepko: Is there something on the horizon for Mongolia?
Moro: It has been reported that Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi (ETT) the big coal mine will be listing ordinary shares in Ulan Bator [Mongolia's capital and major city], and depositary receipts in London and Hong Kong.
Slepko: Why would they do DRs in London and Hong Kong at the same time? Just to get out there faster and quicker?
Moro: Yeah, bigger investor base and all that.
Slepko: What does London have that New York doesn't?
Moro: A lot of it will be Sarbanes-Oxley and that they don't want to comply with Section 404 – documentation, auditing, and reporting of internal controls – which is tough for an emerging market company to comply with.
Also, there is a lot of Russian influence in Mongolia, and Mongolian companies trade a lot like Russian companies which tend to have their DRs listed in London.

The Clearing, Bowerbirds' third album, wastes no time taking hold. Opener "Tuck the Darkness In" is an absolute stunner that starts of quiet and slowly blooms into something beautiful. The rest of the album follows suit.
The sound here is a more polished than the group's previous efforts. A few new aspects are added, such as electric guitar riffs on "In the Yard," and a rousing clap line on "Stitch the Hem." All the instrumentation works wonderfully together. Moore's voice and guitar are relied on less heavily, making space for some of the new sounds, which is a nice change of pace. The album is lush, with sounds at every turn for the listener to focus on. It makes for an enjoyable listening experience as every song feels varied from minute to minute. The structure of the songs is also quite brilliant. The songs rise and fall at the perfect moments, instruments are added or taken away at the right moments, everything works.
At the heart of the album, as it has always been with Bowerbirds, is Phil Moore and Beth Tacular, and they're spectacular harmonies. Fans of the band already know that Moore has one of the best voices in all of folk, but here we learn that his partner is something special as well. Unlike albums past, Tacular takes center stage on a few songs, and more than holds her own. Tracks "In the Yard" and "Hush" put her beautiful vocals on full display. The two voices also work beautifully together. Much like the vocalists for Of Monsters & Men, it's as if Moore and Tacular are vocal soul mates. They complement each other brilliantly.

I had the most amazing evening. I attended the 7th Annual RAF Freelance Creative Expo at the Museum of Art in Rochester, NY. This was my first time in attendance; I wasn't sure what to expect. I slowly made my way around the room, meeting each exhibitor, learning about their craft, exchanging business conversation and cards, when – surprise! Peter K. O'Connell of audio'connell Voice Over Talent had a wonderful table display of all things audio'connell. I was thrilled to see Peter in my "backyard" – he is one of Western New York's super voice talents. After exchanging an "It's great to see you!" hug, Peter invited me to share his exhibit and talk voice acting with fellow attendees. Peter is a consummate professional and a genuine people person. He took the time to learn something about each person he met, and then shared how professional voice acting could make their work even better. He introduced me to everyone who stopped at the table and shared each conversation. What fun! Peter radiates the kind of fundamental decency and generosity that has a name in Yiddish – he's a mensch. Thank you, Peter.

Twitter-esque Animated Placeholders with Dojo
Have you seen the cool text input boxes on the Twitter homepage recently (make sure you are logged out). Twitter is using CSS transitions to achieve the effect but unfortunately those are still not fully adopted just yet. I created (with a bit of cleanup help from kgf on #dojo @ irc.freenode.net) a similar effect with Dojo and made a dojo.query() "plugin" out of it which does work in most browsers:
It's simple enough to use this on your own code. Use the same HTML layout, and include the JavaScript plugin code on your page to use the plugin.
Public Dojo Workshops Announced
I've had many ask me about any workshops for developers who work with Dojo. When I direct them at SitePen, they always respond with, but those are geared towards companies—aren't there any public workshops? Aside from telling them to read the documentation and getting involved online, I've had to reply with a solemn "no". That has all changed as SitePen has announced that they are going to start an offering of public workshops.
They are going to offer two of them in San Jose for a first round, we'll see what happens after that. They're $2500 a pop but it sounds like they will be covering a lot of great content!
Dojo Classes, Inherited and Constructors
Dojo provides the ability for developers to create Java-like classes with the powerful dojo.declare(). It does this by allowing you to easily create namespaced classes that support multiple inheritance (which are basically mixins). Provided in this functionality is the ability to call:
… from within any of your methods in a class that extends another and have it call the super class instance of that method in the same way you would call super() in a Java class to call the super class' method.
This past week I was on a couple of new classes, one super class and another class that extends that super class. I called this.inherited() within my constructor of the class to call the super constructor. I was noticing something strange in Firebug though—my super class' constructor was getting called twice even though I was only calling it once. I reproduced this in JSFiddle as you can see below:
If you had FireBug (or JavaScript console in WebKit) open you would have seen that the super constructor was getting called twice. After pinging #dojo on irc at irc.freenode.net about the issue, @phiggins reminded me that when you instantiate classes that extend other classes, the constructor method automatically calls the super on its own. So if you call it again, it will be called twice. You can read about the default constructor chaining that dojo.declare gives you on the Reference Guide.
To summarize, only use this.inherited() within non-constructor methods in your classes. I recall running into this issue once before so I thought I blog about it for my own personal reference and for that of others.
Difference between dojo.byId() and dijit.byId()
Since we've completely committed to using the Dojo Toolkit at work, there have been more questions raised about various aspects of the toolkit. One of the more popular ones that I am asked and that I see asked often online is what is the difference between dojo.byId() and dijit.byId()?.
Dojo.byId() is simply a replacement for the native document.getElementById(). Dijit.byId() on the other hand is a utility method that you use to get a reference to an instance of a dijit widget on the page. This means that you won't be getting a reference to a DOM node like you do with dojo.byId() but rather an instance of a dijit widget class along with access to all of its methods and properties.
Return JSON with PHP
When bringing Ajax technologies into your websites, it's almost certain you'll comes across the need to return data from the backend in a format that JavaScript works well with, such as JSON. With that, PHP is often a popular choice amongst developers for backend programming due to its wide adoption and low cost (FREE!). Thankfully PHP is actively developed and it supports many of todays web standards including JSON.

Decoupling Widget to Widget Interaction with Dojo
As a programmer, you should try to think of how you can write your code in a way that is maintainable and loosely coupled from other parts of your application. Loosely coupled basically means that you don't tie down functionality and modules to be dependent on other parts of your application. In a way, you want to try and categorize the functionality and keep the functionality in one spot. Take our modern day telephone system for example. If you wanted to use your phone at home to call your friend on their phone on the other side of the world, the phones themselves don't have to know each other. All they are concerned about is how to interact directly with the telephone system. The telephone system simply requires a telephone to know how to dial out and to be able to receive a phone call when the line is being rung.

Things about JavaScript I wish I knew earlier

Cross-Domain Ajax with Dojo
If you are fairly new to JavaScript development or Ajax programming, you may not know that JavaScript has a limitation in which it cannot make a remote call to a service that is not on the same domain the script was called from. For instance, if I hosted a simple web service at kylehayes.info, I would not be able to access it from this site through the normal methods such as dojo.xhrGet() or dojo.xhrPost(). However, there are a couple of solutions to this issue. One of those is to consume web services that use a format called JSON-P (JSON with padding).

Source Code for Getting StartED with Dojo
Thanks to a reader for reaching out to me and pointing out that the source code is not posted on the Friends of ED site or this site for the book. I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and mishap. For now, until it is posted on the publisher's site, I have provided a link below that will allow you to download all the source code zipped up.
Source Code for Getting StartED with Dojo
Note, there is no source code in Chapter 3 and therefore you will not see a "ch03″ folder in the zip file that you download.
Update: Here is the code for Chapter 6 which contains animationEvents.html – Download .zip
Simple Ajax Form Tutorial
Submitting an Ajax form using Dojo is very straightforward and simple. The main goal here is to simply send the values of a form to a backend script (whatever your preference, e.g. PHP or Python), without ever leaving the page. The page should also show a response to the user confirming that their request was sent successfully.
For starters, we need a simple HTML form that we are going to send. Construct this as you normally would with an id, action, and method values. In my example, I've created a basic contact form:

SHEFFIELD, Mass. (AP) - Authorities say a Delaware man hiking the Appalachian Trail in western Massachusetts has died after a 35-foot fall down a steep ravine.
Sheffield Police Chief Eric Munson says he was 1 of the first people on the scene after getting an emergency call at about 1:45 p.m. Wednesday.
He tells The Berkshire Eagle (http://bit.ly/17N2VOA ) he arrived to find a group of college students trying to help the man.
The 28-year-old victim, who was hiking along the trail with his 22-year-old brother, fell down the ravine at Race Brook Falls near the Connecticut border. He died as rescuers rushed him from the scene. The younger man was not hurt.
No names had been released as of Thursday morning. As many as 50 people helped in the rescue.

Billionaire Steve Cohen Bought This Drug Manufacturer

According to a filing with the SEC, Steve Cohen's SAC Capital Advisors had acquired a total of 2.7 million shares of The Medicines Company (NASDAQ: MDCO) giving it 5.0% of the shares outstanding (and thus triggering the filing of the 13G). SAC's 13F filing for the third quarter of the year shows that it owned 1.6 million shares at the end of September, which had been a massive increase from the beginning of July, so Cohen and his team have been building this position for months. Find more stock picks from SAC Capital Advisors. The Medicines Company is a $1.1 billion market cap pharmaceutical company which markets an anticoagulant and a blood pressure drug, as well as having several products in development.
Fellow billionaire David Shaw's D.E. Shaw cut its stake in The Medicines Company during the third quarter but still closed September with 3.9 million shares in its portfolio (see what stocks D.E. Shaw is buying instead). Ridgeback Capital, a healthcare-focused hedge fund which is managed by SAC alum Wayne Holman, initiated a position of 1.1 million shares over the course of the quarter and this made the stock the largest holding in its 13F portfolio. Research more stocks that Ridgeback has been buying.
Revenue was up slightly in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period a year ago, bringing operating income higher (a pattern which appears to have been the case in the first half of the year as well). The Medicines Company has significantly increased its investments in R&D. While net income has been down, this is primarily because it recognized substantial income tax benefits in 2011. The company was cash flow positive in the first nine months of 2012, and had over $500 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities on its balance sheet following the issue of some senior notes.
At its current market cap the company trades at 23 times trailing earnings, implying that investors expect earnings to grow in the future. We can't really evaluate the chances that The Medicine Company's products in development will be successful, either medically or commercially, but we'd note that the forward P/E is only 16. This indicates that Wall Street analysts at least believe that the business will perform well over the next year, though we wouldn't be too dependent on The Medicine Company matching their earnings targets.
Some other pharmaceutical companies which have similar market caps and can also point to profitability in the last few quarters are Warner Chilcott (NASDAQ: WCRX), United Therapeutics (NASDAQ: UTHR), Cubist Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CBST), and Pharamcyclics (NASDAQ: PCYC). Of these peers, Warner Chilcott and United Therapeutics look like the best value on a P/E basis: they trade at 8 and 10 times their respective trailing earnings. Warner Chilcott has also been experiencing higher earnings than a year ago, though its revenue is down, and while again we don't have much expertise on its product offerings it could be a prospect for a healthcare stock. United Therapeutics reported 20% revenue growth last quarter versus a year earlier, though earnings were down. Its cheap pricing gives it some potential as a value stock.
Pharmacyclics has seen its stock rise over 300% in the last year, and its business has been performing strongly as well, but the trailing P/E multiple of 38 suggests that the market is banking heavily on seeing continued improvement. An investor would have to look carefully at the company before picking it. Cubist is an interesting case: on the one hand, it trades at 20 times earnings and recent growth has been good; on the other hand, its net income is actually expected to fall next year and 18% of the shares outstanding are held short. We would advise avoiding that stock as well.
Compare to these peers, The Medicine Company seems moderately well priced assuming that it hits analyst expectations for 2013. However, we'd suggest at least checking out Warner Chilcott and United Therapeutics instead to learn more about why they trade at such low earnings multiples.

Maqui - A little berry tames inflammation, prevents cancer & supports healthy heart.
(NaturalNews) Could a small purple berry fuel unlimited stamina, heal innumerable health complaints and turn back the hands of time? Maqui berry can do all of this and more. The fierce Mapuche warriors indigenous to Chile attribute their strength, vigor and unconquerable spirit to this little known South American berry. As one of the most extraordinary fruits, maqui boasts an impressive list of healthful benefit including cancer prevention, taming inflammation, managing blood sugar levels and supporting a healthy heart. Grown in an ecological manner with time-honored harvesting methods, maqui is a shining star among environmentally friendly superfoods.
A heroic fruit
Maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis) is a vibrant purple fruit that grows abundantly across fields and hillsides in southern Chile. As a plentiful berry bush that grows wild, cultivation has proven to be unnecessary. Maqui contains 300 percent more anthocyanins and 150 percent more polyphenols than any known food or drink, including wine. For generations, the Mapuche Indians have consumed maqui as a fermented beverage. As legend has it, the Mapuche Indians are the only unconquered people of South America. Nourished by maqui, they fought the Spaniards for over 300 years. And won. Today, Mapuche families come together to hand pick the berries in a traditional fashion. The plants are naturally organic as long as their growing habitats are protected from industrial pollutants and encroachment.
How sweet (and healing) it is
A sweet tasting and healing berry, maqui has been used successfully for a variety of ailments. Tumors, hemorrhoids, diabetes, colon cancer, fevers and diarrhea are just a few of the health concerns that respond well to maqui berry. High in a type of anthocyanin called delphinidin, maqui is a potent anti-inflammatory. Since chronic inflammation contributes to a host of degenerative diseases like arthritis, diabetes, heart disease and cancer; consuming ample quantities of inflammation curbing maqui is a smart choice.
Maqui packs a powerful punch by supporting heart health as well as balanced glucose levels and body weight. Antioxidants found in the berry prevent cholesterol from oxidizing in the blood which helps to deter cardiovascular disease -- including stroke, hardening of the arteries and heart attack. Consumption of maqui curiously causes a notable increase of insulin which suppresses blood glucose. With this action, energy is stabilized without peaks and crashes, thereby limiting fat storage and assisting in weight management. As an added perk, maqui helps to prevent food-borne illnesses through its antibacterial properties.
Rich in antioxidants, maqui counteracts free-radicals and radiation that contribute to aging. Maqui is able to survive (and thrive) in harsh climates by producing extraordinary amounts of UV ray-deflecting phytochemicals which help to protect the plant. These compounds also protect humans. By consuming ample amounts of phytochemicals, damage caused by sun exposure, toxins and pollution is prevented and even reversed. All this helps to promote a radiant, ageless complexion.
So drink up. With such exceptional health-enhancing features, maqui is a superfood that can put a spring in your step and a youthful smile on your face.

"Toning" And Colorizing Monochrome Images; Expanding The Monochrome Palette
The image color of even a conventional black and white silver print is rarely black, white and grayscale shades. It may be warm (golden) or cold (blue) neutral or toned (sepia, magenta). Over many years print makers and chemists developed paper and developer combinations, as well as after-printing toners, to add additional color to monochrome silver prints. For example, using a warm-tone paper such as Agfa Portriga and a warm-tone enhancing developer, such as Selectol Soft, could alter image color. This yielded brownish blacks and creamy whites. A cold-tone paper could be developed in Dektol and after fixing toned in a mild dilution of rapid selenium toner for added "snap", resulting in a "harder" bright white/deep black effect.
There is a long tradition of "toning" or colorizing black and white photos. Now that all digital images start as color, options are greater than ever before as color and saturation can be easily manipulated in programs. This beach scene (#2) was "toned" blue using the hue/saturation controls on a "desaturated" image.
There's something about toning that adds a timeless, or at least nostalgic touch to an image, particularly if the subject matter lends itself to that kind of interpretation. Here a scan from a film photo made in 1984 is given a cyanotype treatment (#3 and #4).
Yet, given the irony, the ability to emulate and even expand on potential image color possibilities in the digital darkroom is very wide. Anyone who has struggled to maintain consistent image color throughout an edition or portfolio, or who has tried a variety of toner dilutions to get an image just right will especially appreciate it. The ink and paper options and the processing potential available today are one of the most exciting elements in expressive digital printing.
A study of prints made by photomechanical means other than conventional darkroom methods also reveals the amazing image color possibilities of the photographic image. Platinum, palladium, cyanotype, Van Dyke Brown and even photogravure show very seductive image color effects. Some of these arcane processes are kept alive by a dedicated core of artists, and are often referred to as alternative or personal processes. While digital ink mixing cannot hope to obtain the patina of these images (the surface characteristics) they certainly can emulate the look and visual feel. They do this without mixing often-dangerous chemicals.
In addition, there are options for adding a dash of color to a black and white print for visual interest, or even applying color to make a print look like an old hand colored postcard or portrait. Handcoloring, first used to add color to photographs before color film and paper was readily available, is a fun way to make your own color interpretation on a black and white scene.
There are two choices when working with black and white images. One is to use the Grayscale mode and the other RGB, or Color mode. For our purposes here we want the image to be in RGB mode. If you scanned or converted into Grayscale mode simply go to Image>Mode>RGB or similar command to convert it to a form that will "take" the color you are going to give it. Even though your foundation image looks like monochrome or black and white on the screen, you are now working with a color-ready file.
Easy Options
Nik Software's Color Efex Pro (www.niksoftware.com) is a plug-in that allows you to first make conversions to black and white or desaturated color and then you can override and change the effect easily as it creates a layer in Photoshop. That's what I did here using the Monday Morning Nik filter on a shot of an old sled in the shade of a doorway (#10). I then desaturated the result and added a slight sepia wash through hue/saturation and Layer Mask brush strokes (#11 and #12).
There are numerous programs and plug-ins that make toning a very simple task. Here the Nik plug-in, Color Efex Pro, shows a blue and brown tone work screen. Note the sliders on the right that allow for customization of the effects (#13 and #14).

Angelina Jolie wanted to be the leading lady in the hit comedy drama "Silver Linings Playbook," according to filmmaker David O. Russell.
Jennifer Lawrence has been getting Oscar buzz for her portrayal of the promiscuous character Tiffany in the movie, but Russell says he initially thought the 22-year-old star was too young, and he had other "major actresses" in mind, including Jolie.
Bing: Oscar buzz
At a screening for TheWrap.com, he explains, "Quite frankly, (Lawrence's audition) was like a formality. I didn't think she was really a contender. We had three very serious contenders (already). We had a lot of major actresses in town interested in the role, from Angelina Jolie to some other big stars, because it's a dimensional role for a young woman. Jennifer, we frankly thought, was too young."
The "Hunger Games" star went on to win the part after auditioning over the Internet phone service Skype. Bradley Cooper was recruited to play her love interest, but Russell admits he considered a number of other A-list stars during the casting process.
He adds, "I wrote it with Vince (Vaughn) and Zooey (Deschanel) in mind, because I love Vince's cadences ... And then Mark Wahlberg -- who I love and made three movies with -- there was a moment where he was going to do it. That didn't work out ... and it was out of my hands ... I originally wrote it for other people. But as Matt Damon very graciously said to me about the Christian Bale role in 'The Fighter' -- which he was originally intended to play -- 'It just goes to show, the right people play the right role at the right time.'"

Photographed by Steve Russell © Damien Hirst and Science Ltd. All rights reserved, DACS 2012
A 66 foot bronze-clad sculpture named Verity created by world famous artist Damien Hirst has been loaned to North Devon Council for the next 20 years .
On Tuesday 16 October 2012, Verity was hoisted into position giving residents and visitors their first glimpses of her standing tall on Ilfracombe's Pier.
A party on the pier was held on Friday 23rd November 2012 to celebrate Verity's arrival.
The statue of Verity pregnant holding a sword aloft and standing on a base of legal books is meant to be a 'modern allegory of truth and justice'
The figure's stance is taken from Edgar Degas' late 19th Century Little Dancer of Fourteen Years and is referenced by Damien Hirst in his earlier bronze Virgin Mother from 2005.
The title 'Verity' is from the Italian word of Truth, while she holds the traditional symbols denoting justice – a sword and scales.

Problems or diseases of the hands can cause a large amount of concern, as use of the hands are a large part of carrying out daily tasks. Even a small degree of discomfort or a mild deformity can cause serious consequences. At the beginning of the 19th century, major advances were being made in the realm of general surgery, but there was little attention placed on the hand. Since that time, great progress has been made in understanding and treating problems with the hand. Plastic surgeons perform surgery on the hand with an interest in improving not only the function of the hand, but also the appearance of the hand.
Many different types of hand surgery require the clinical and surgical expertise of a plastic surgeon. Listed in the directory below are some, for which we have provided a brief overview.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan's elections director says preliminary figures from a state canvass of write-in ballots show Mike Duggan earned nearly 25,000 more votes in Detroit's Aug. 6 mayoral primary than county officials counted. Chris Thomas made the announcement in a court filing Friday. Thomas says the preliminary state count puts Duggan's total at 48,716. The Board of State Canvassers this week counted 24,000 write-in ballots. Wayne County canvassers referred the ballots to the state because they were tallied numerically instead of with hash marks. Duggan and Benny Napoleon finished far ahead of the other candidates and will face each other in the November general election. Unofficial results from Detroit showed Duggan received 44,395 write-in votes. County canvassers said they counted about 24,000 valid votes for Duggan and about 28,300 for Napoleon.
