The Beavers are off to their second consecutive 4-1 to start, marking the first time the program has endured just s single loss through the first five games in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1999-2000. There is clearly a noticeable change to the program's culture after it led the Pac-12 Conference in scoring last season. Oregon State has played extremely well at the defensive end of the floor in its victories, as all four foes have shot less than 40 percent from the field. The Beavers tied a school record the last time out with 11 blocked shots, which resulted in a 78-65 decision over Montana State. Including its loss to Alabama, coach Craig Robinson's squad is limiting opponents to 66.6 ppg on 36.4 percent shooting this season.
A three-point loss to Michigan State in the Champions Classic is the only blemish on the Jayhawks' record so far. Kansas won its fourth consecutive game on Monday by downing San Jose State, 70-57. Coach Bill Self's team is averaging 71.3 ppg and outscoring its opponents by an average of 15.7 ppg. Self has had little trouble versus opposition from the Pac-12 recently, as Kansas enters with nine straight wins versus opponents from the league. The Jayhawks are also tough at the defensive end and they lead all Division I programs with 10 blocks per game after setting a school record with 16 swats in its last appearance.
This will be the first meeting on the basketball court between these two programs.
Oregon State was fueled by a spectacular performance by Joe Burton in its most recent outing, as the senior big man set a career-high with 21 points and added 10 rebounds for good measure. The diminutive Ahmad Starks nearly recorded a double-double versus Montana State as well with 14 points and nine boards. Eric Moreland did manage a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Starks paces the team with 14.6 ppg, while Burton (11.6 ppg) and Roberto Nelson (10.8 ppg) are also double-digit scorers. Moreland is the top rebounder with 10.4 caroms per contest. Moreland has swatted 12 shots after leading the Pac-12 with 1.9 blocks per game as a freshman a year ago.
Burton will struggle to replicate his career performance versus the Jayhawks with Jeff Withey in the middle. The senior center became the second player in KU history to record a triple-double his last time out by producing 16 points, 12 rebounds and 12 blocked shots versus SJSU. Withey stood out as an elite defender during the team's run to the NCAA Championship Game last season, but he now paces the squad with 14.2 ppg and 8.7 rpg as well. Freshman guard Ben McLemore has helped replace some of the lost offensive firepower by contributing 13.8 ppg. Senior guards Travis Releford (12 ppg) and Elijah Johnson (10.7 ppg) are also scoring in double digits on a consistent basis. Johnson is the club's primary playmaker with 4.2 assists per contest.

I have been busy with learning some new features coming out in FamilySearch Indexing. It is exciting, but has caused me to miss some blogging I wanted to do. Today's prompt is: Christmas at School
What did you or your ancestors do to celebrate Christmas at school? Were you ever in a Christmas Pageant?
My ancestors did not have any specific "school" celebrations at Christmas that I have ever heard of. It wasn't until I began school in Edmond Oklahoma at Central State College's elementary that I personally experienced a school Christmas activity.
When the Hero and I would talk about Christmas plays and our children were in the Church party Manger scenes, he would always break out in song about "I am the Angel in the Christmas Play". I should have entered this in FootenoteMaven's Blog Caroling.

3 Stocks Spiking on Big Volume
WINDERMERE, Fla. ( Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.
Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors."
>>5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts
Unusual volume can also be a major signal that hedge funds and momentum traders are piling into a stock ahead of a catalyst. These types of traders like to get in well before a large spike, so it's always a smart move to monitor unusual volume. That said, remember to combine trend and price action with unusual volume. Put them all together to help you decipher the next big trend for any stock.With that in mind, let's take a look at several stocks rising on unusual volume today. >>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy as Stocks Drop Chipmos Technologies Bermuda Chipmos Technologies Bermuda (IMOS) provides a range of back-end testing services, including engineering testing, wafer probing and final testing of memory and mixed-signal semiconductors. This stock is trading up 7.5% at $11.20 in recent trading. Today's Volume: 410,000 Average Volume: 142,654 Volume % Change: 392% From a technical perspective, IMOS is ripping higher here right above some near-term support at $9.93 and back above its 50-day moving average of $11.15 with heavy upside volume. This move is quickly pushing shares of IMOS within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if IMOS manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at its 200-day moving average of $11.68 and then once it clears more overhead resistance levels at $11.95 to $12.10 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in IMOS as long as it's trending above today's low of $10.25, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 142,654 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then IMOS will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $12.60 to $14.

Children exhibit a broad variety of moods and behaviors and are responsive to an equally broad variety of teaching approaches from parents.
Some children have a much more difficult time regulating their irritability. Their moods tend to be more negative. Often these children have difficulty sustaining easy, light behavior. They become quickly overstimulated and can turn aggressive and nasty. In their fantasy play they seem to obsess on themes of violence and may be easily over- stimulated by violent cartoons and movies.
Other children tend to exhibit very happy moods and show little if any irritability. However, they may also show a tremendous craving for external stimulation and excitement. Turn your back and the boy is hanging from the curtain rod. Blink your eye and the girl is riding her tricycle down the stairs. Unfortunately they don't respond at all to punishment and seem to have trouble developing a conscience." These children learn about their feelings in a very different way from irritable, moody children.
Then there are those children who seem to internalize everything. Often they are susceptible to a broad array of psychosomatic complaints such as headaches and stomachaches. It is easier for them to describe physical pain than it is for them to sort out their emotions.
Watch how your own children behave in very stimulating, emotionally laden situations. Take them to a video arcade at a local mall, a county fair, or even a busy department store. How do they respond to the noise level? Do they cling to you and seem upset by the high level of stimulation? Some children are able to tolerate these noisy and confusing places very well. Others, though, may seem to crave this level of stimulation but soon become very disorganized by it. They appear hyperactive and behave without regard for people or objects around them. When you attempt to restrain their behavior, they become irritable and almost frantic. Try to understand just how your children tolerate stimulation and regulate emotion. This will be your best measure of how they can learn self-control.

NEW YORK (AP) - Officials say two people have been killed in separate incidents on train tracks in Manhattan.
Around 2 a.m. Sunday, a man in the Metro-North tunnel on Park Avenue around 67th Street was hit by a northbound train.
Spokesman Sal Arena says the man was not supposed to be in the tunnel. No identification has been released.
The body of another man was found under a Q subway train at the Prince Street station around 3 a.m. Sunday. The man was discovered by the train's operator, who had gotten out to find out what was keeping the train from moving.

The fabled Torta del Casar is an incredibly rich, intensely flavorful cheese from Extremadura. Slice off the top and the interior is almost liquid, and you are ready spoon this intense, aromatic cheese onto crusty bread for a treat you will find nowhere else.
Not all Tortas del Casar are the same. The key is freshness - once they age too long they become hard. We bring in fresh shipments at least once a month and we guarantee that the Torta del Casar you receive from La Tienda is absolutely fresh and soft.
Torta del Casar is made by artisans from raw sheep's milk cheese in the shadow of the noble city of Cáceres in the province of Extremadura in western Spain.
Legend has it that the Torta del Casar cheese originated as a mistake by shepherds who were seeking to create a hard cheese. When they happened upon the Torta, they kept the special cheese to enjoy for themselves, but eventually the secret got out. Since then this Denomination of Origin cheese has become world famous. It is made entirely from the milk of the Churra sheep and is among the rare types of cheese that are thickened using vegetable rennet from the wild artichoke plant.
The curing process creates a full, complex flavor generated by the ewe's diet of herbs and grasses from the remote Extremaduran countryside along the Portuguese border.
Our Tortas are just the right size – just a little under one pound. Normally, you serve a whole Torta del Casar on the table. When you cut off the top, like a pumpkin, you will be treated to a glistening bone-white interior that is pudding soft and creamy.
Just scoop out some with a spoon and spread this flavorful goodness on fresh crusty bread, or fresh fruit. You will have a memorable time enjoying this buttery, intense treat with your friends.
Raw sheep's milk, salt, vegetable rennet.

Tiny Tutorial: Cloth Covered Journal
I created this journal with unprimed artists canvas, spray gesso, Luminarte twinkling H2Os, hand carved stamps, grommets and my sewing machine. The interior pages are watercolor paper.
I used purchased stencils and spray gessoed them on the canvas.
After the gesso was dry, I used a variety of Luminarte Twinks to color the canvas.
The color is bold when wet, and dries lighter.
I put it outside to dry thoroughly.
And sprayed it again with spray gesso and a stencil or two. I love the heavily layered look.
Back in the studio, I stamped directly with the bottle and my hand carved stamps over the surface.
I stamped on commerical fabric too. I added batting to the back of my canvas cover, and cut out the flower and free motion stitched it to the canvas.
I stitched around some of the stamped shapes too.
Above is the cover, then a layer of batting and at the bottom, a piece of fabric for the interior of the bookcover. I stitched them all together, down the center binding.
I stitched around the edge of the cover, then zig-zaged stitched a few times around the edges.
This elephant is another journal cover in progress.
I added grommets in the center spine and the edge of the book cover, and cut watercolor paper to fit, and attached it to the spine with ribbon.

Linkage: Social Media Metrics
A few links with different ideas on measuring social media…
Whether managing living social media, or keeping sites fresh with blog-like efforts to engage, or even producing simple brochureware that's expected to serve users' information needs with minimal updates, it's the content that lies at the core of success. The same way design (the role of which is to make one care about content) follows information architecture, information architecture lies in support of content. And content strategy requires both strategic and tactical skills separate from the marketing strategy it supports.
"… the growing demand for content strategy is often related to the need to bring an editorial viewpoint to organizations with no significant history of content creation. They need guidance on how to source, edit, produce, and maintain content. They need advice on staffing, governance, workflow, tone, quality, timing, and pruning the ROT from their overflowing archives."
A great summary of why we socially share, beyond the obvious keeping in touch with people who have passed through your life.

A good intro to some social media basics.
…One of the first things a company needs to realize about social media is that Facebook and LinkedIn, for instance, are different animals. While all social media outlets have scalability, accessibility and immediacy in common, they serve distinct functions. For example, YouTube is a great way to demonstrate a product or method, while a Wiki (and yes, Wiki is considered a form of social media) is an authority-building tool. Facebook helps you connect with and engage customers and helps grow name and brand recognition, while LinkedIn is the foremost form of online networking…

- Insight – Find the "aha's" to identify gaps
- Ideation – Inspire new ideas for engagement, communication, new products/services, change

I think it goes too far talking about what I believe is an error. It spends a lot of time focusing on its statement that…
…you still must administer ALL contests on Facebook via a third-party app ON the Facebook platform.
…and pointing to a bunch of third-party app providers to do so.
This didn't sound right to me. I've been involved in the development of apps for photo and travel tip contests - home-grown apps not involving third party app platforms. Yes, you must use an app for contests, sweepstakes, and other such promotions, but there is nothing in Facebook's Promotions Guidelines that requires the use of a third-party app. As I read the guidelines, you can use a third-party app for promotions, but are not required to do so.
…at least according to the current Facebook rules which, I'll admit, can be a moving target.
The article has interesting things to say about location-based services and Facebook.
…Even so, these [Location-based] services have a long way to go before they hit the mainstream. In total, 30% of those who don't use them said it was because none of their friends do. Nearly 20% responded to the question with answers like "Don't know what it is" and "Never heard of them."
Not so with Facebook. There are 241 million residents aged 10 and older in the U.S. and 149 million Facebook accounts, which are only open to those 13 and older. When you consider that the latest Pew data shows 79% of adults have internet access, you start getting to a point where saying "Everyone who is online is on Facebook" isn't that far off.
I wish the survey laid out details for SMS Text along with the other platforms, or if it's some small part of the 13% "Other".
Ben Kunz makes some good points about this survey as well.

It's been awhile since I've posted a blog and I'm sorry it's taken me this long. The last half of 2009 was insanely crazy for me. In addition to running my PR company and working on exciting projects such as new artist Carmen Reece and famed fitness guru Rich Barretta — I am also working closely with Nick Cannon and his multi-media company NCredible Entertainment. It all started top of last year when he brought me into the fold with his takeover of the new TeenNick network over at Nickelodeon. And now as we enter 2010 (as I'm sure you might have read in the big Hollywood Reporter story, I'm helping him run his multi-media company) which as you can imagine has me extremely busy.
We are gearing up for a ton of projects — lots of stuff for TeenNick (all on the heels of his successful HALO Awards which he created and executive produced), his NYC morning radio takeover on 92.3 NOW this month, the big red carpet movie premiere for the School Gyrls movie which he wrote and directed that will air on Nickelodeon on February 21st and their debut album release on Island Records, new artists Colette Carr, Corey Gunz, Aaron Fresh and RydazNRtist (who are currently on tour with Mariah Carey), another season of America's Got Talent where Nick will return as host — and of course a very long list of new TV & film projects that are all in development.
In addition, I'm excited to say that I have stepped away from my duties as Kelis' publicist and have taken on the role as her business partner and manager. She recently signed a new record deal with will.i.am/Interscope where we are looking at a Spring 2010 release for the new album. I'm currently in London with her as I'm typing this, sitting next door as she collaborates with one of my favorite new groups, La Roux. The new album is very close to being finished — she recorded majority of it on her own in her home studio without a record label, without an A & R and over the course of the next few weeks she'll be laying down the finishing touches. I have to say — it's her best body of work to date and if you are a Kelis fan, it's the type of album that you've been waiting from her to deliver. We are really, really excited about it, to get on the road and get back in front of her fans. The label is 110% behind her, we have an amazing team with all hands on deck. I expect that 2010 will be the year that she finally gets the credit she has been long overdue as an artist who's remained very honest, innovative and true since she released her debut album over a decade ago. In addition to the music, as you may have heard, she is now a certified chef who graduated from culinary school last year. Her true passion, aside from music has always been food and she is also very hard at work on launching her own sauce line, which is absolutely delicious!
Work aside, I'm happier than ever. Spent all of my holiday indoors at home playing board games with my closest family and friends, lots of cooking, taught myself to knit, celebrated my 30th birthday at Walt Disney World and Islands of Adventure — and more.
I'm truly blessed and really excited about the year ahead. Looking forward to sharing it with you. xo

Bradley Manning Was Convicted of Espionage, and We Protested at the White House
The best party I've been to all summer happened Tuesday night in DC's Dupont Circle neighborhood, and the whole thing occurred after only 24 hours' worth of planning. Attendees totaled around 200, someone brought along a sick PA system, and then somehow we ended up outside of the White House asking the president to pardon Army Private first class Bradley Manning.
So it wasn't actually billed as a party, per se, but rather a rally—a last minute politically charged rendezvous—assembled the evening before in anticipation of a long-awaited verdict in the court-martial of Manning. And though things didn't go as well before the judge as they could have, the news wasn't all bad—as you probably know by now, Manning was acquitted of "aiding the enemy" but convicted of violating the Espionage Act and could now face 136 years in prison. His sentencing hearing begins today.
Twenty-five-years-old and thrice nominated for the Nobel Prize, Pfc. Manning has managed to attract a lot of attention in the three years since he was arrested and charged for leaking classified files to the website WikiLeaks. Supporters and the soldier himself say those documents exposed atrocities and prompted discussions across the world about US actions in the Middle East. Some even credit those revelations with expediting the end of the Iraq War. And although he never quite became a household name, what was perhaps Manning's biggest day yet occurred Tuesday when all eyes were on a military court in Fort Meade, Maryland, where a judge would decide if the soldier should be convicted of "aiding the enemy" and 21 other counts including computer crimes and espionage for leaking documents to WikiLeaks.

Six people were arrested in Minot last week by the U.S. Border Patrol.
Kris Grogan of the Border Patrol Public Affairs Office said the arrests were made as a result of "encounters near several local establishments," and were not the result of any official raid
The US Attorney's office reports a seventh person was arrested a few weeks ago and has pleaded guilty to felony possession of fraudulent documents.
The six arrested last week are facing charges of illegally obtaining social security numbers.
Three have initial court appearances next week in federal court.
According to an affidavit from a Border Patrol agent, one of the six was arrested while on duty at Longhorn Steakhouse in Minot.
The arresting officer says the man admitted he was a Mexican citizen in the U.S. illegally.

I have rheumatoid arthritis in my hips and will probably have one of them replaced in the spring. I've gotten the impression that we are fairly rare and that most patients who need hip replacements have the other kind of arthritis. Just how rare is my situation?
Keeping track of number and type of joint replacements can be done in several different ways but in the United States, we don't have every patient entered into a database like some other countries do. We can get information from hospital discharge data and Medicare part B that is helpful. Many times, this is limited to patients over the age of 65. It doesn't include younger patients or people who have their replacements done in private orthopedic surgical clinics.
Some of the other countries such as Finland do have a national registry. This type of information is routinely collected and has been a clinical feature for over 30 years. Because their patient population isn't so different from ours (socioeconomic, educational background, lifestyle), we can often make comparisons that could easily apply to our country.
A recent report was published using data from the Finish Registry that might answer your question. They ran a software program that pulled out how many hip replacements were done just for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The time period information was collected from was from 1980 to 2006.
There were a total of 132,540 primary (first-time) hip replacements in the whole study (all diagnoses such as osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis). Breaking that down by age, the majority of those (86 per cent) were in adults 55 years old or older. That's approximately 114,600 of the 132,540. And of the people in the 55 years and up group, only five per cent (about 6,000 patients) had rheumatoid arthritis as their main diagnosis. So you can see, this isn't a rare group but fairly uncommon.
Those overall figures are lower than in the United States where over half a million hip replacements done each year. About five per cent of those will be in patients with a primary (main) diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
With the new, more effective medications to control the progression of joint destruction associated with RA, this percentage may not increase over time -- even though more adults with RA are living longer with their disease. Over time, better control will yield better results and outcomes with less invasive treatment.

The 1911 T5 Pinkerton Cabinets are one of those sets that seem to elude many collectors. The cards are tough, very tough in fact. Recently, a private collector with 49 of these tobacco branded cabinets decided to part with his treasures. Included in the massive lot of items are examples of the infamous Shoeless Joe Jackson (pictured) as well as Hall of Famers like Christy Mathewson, Cy Young, Napoleon "Nap" Lajoie, and Eddie Plank. Luckily, every collector has the chance to acquire one of these hobby gems as the group has been put up for sale by Hunt Auctions in their current auction.
Produced in 1911 and designated as the T5 set in the American Card Catalog, these sepia toned photographs were mounted on cardboard stock that measures roughly 4-¾" by 7-¾". While the mounts are often grey, the cards also appear against a tan background. For that matter, you can find non-mounted examples with some frequency. In those instances, it is possible to find the cards with postcard or scorecard backings.
The cards themselves feature various baseball stars in the midst of playing their favorite game (or at least the one they were most likely best at). At the bottom of each image, you will find the player name along with the designated card number, their position, and their team at the time of issue. More on the find and the cards themselves after the jump!
The process for obtaining these images was via a redemption system. Produced by the Pinkerton Tobacco Company, the forefather of Red Man Tobacco, customers would collect 10 product coupons. After mailing those coupons in, Pinkerton would send out one of the cabinet cards as a reward. As the cards were not mailed with any significant protective measures in place, finding these cards in decent condition is not easy. As they were redemption pieces as well, their value is based not only on the breadth of the checklist, but also their low numbers in the hobby and their condition sensitive nature. We currently list the set at 375 cataloged players; however, cards numbered in the 600s do exist, so its possible more items will come to light.
Given those factors, this batch of cards should command strong prices. The key cards were all authenticated by Sportscard Guarantee (SGC) and some of them received very strong grades. While most collectors of material produced after 1980 demand their cards be in Mint or better condition, that is simply not possible in the pre-war world (cards produced prior to the outbreak of World War II). Case in point, the Jackson graded out as an SGC 40 (very good), while the Addie Joss example came in as an SGC 84 (near mint). It would not be surprising to see the Jackson read the $50,000 plateau.

1992 Mazda 121 DB 1.3 from Australia and New Zealand
Very reliable, durable and economical. A little sporty too
Rear brake drums had to be machined at 135,000km.
Radiator replaced at 145,000km.
Water pump replaced as a precaution at 145,000km.
Timing belt replaced at 145,000km.
General Comments:
Very practical, very cheap to run, and quite fun to drive around town.
It is underpowered though, my 1.3 single point injected engine is mated to a 4 speed auto and power steering, making this car no road rocket.
As a result of the car being underpowered, it is OK around town, but not good on highways, as it is difficult to remain at 110km/h, especially uphills. The engine is also very noisy at high speeds. Car also feels unstable due to its light weight and overly light steering at 110km/h.
I think though this is a great car for around town, as it is fun to drive, go kart like. Ride is very firm, sporty, but not very comfortable. General quality is excellent, with very little going wrong with the car over the last 20 years. There were no faults and no repairs needed for the first 19 years!
Car is definitely a keeper. Unfortunately there is a bit of rust around the rear windscreen now, typical of cars of this era. I think I can squeeze a few more trouble free years out of her though!
Brakes are excellent, although no ABS is available. Safety is a bit of a concern, considering its poor crash performance compared with modern cars. I have fitted good quality tires to improve primary safety.
The interior is very basic, and the boot opening too small. However, I love this car for its strengths, and can forgive its weaknesses!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The Oyster Bay Railroad Museum in scenic Oyster Bay, NY is dedicated to preserving the rich legacy of Long Island's railroad history.
The process of building and funding the museum is currently in progress. Find the latest news at the Development Desk.
The proposed structure for the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum will consist of two major elements:An indoor museum exhibit area contained in the historic Oyster Bay railroad station
An outdoor exhibit area featuring Locomotive #35 and other historic examples of railroad rolling stock.
These will be linked by a short pedestrian path as shown on the plot plan below.
The Museum/Station will also incorporate an Oyster Bay Visitor Center. The Center will provide information, literature and local promotional material. It is consistent with, and forms a complementary component to our goal of providing an educational, historical, and family-friendly experience to residents, tourists, and visitors to the hamlet. The Center will offer visitor specific services at an ideally located, safe and uncongested site. It will allow for parking, LIRR convenience, and can accommodate a "Touring Trolley" embarkation point for the other Oyster Bay civic, commercial and cultural points of interests.
Currently the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum is housed in the Preview Center, located at 102 Audrey Avenue in downtown Oyster Bay. This interim facility contains selected displays from the OBRM's growing collection, exhibits outlining our ambitious plans for the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum of the future, and a gift shop containing an ever-changing selection of rail-themed merchandise for that special rail buff in your life. Prior to the completion of the Museum, the Center also offers general Oyster Bay visitor specific services at an ideally located, safe and uncongested site.
See the museum as it will look in the near future - and help us along the way.
Gift memberships - a unique and special way to participate in the OBRM!

Startup advisor Khuram Malik Khuram Malik
The UpTake: Technology changes so fast that the ground rules across generations can sometimes be quite different. These three points demonstrate the difference between the way older and younger entrepreneurs view marketing.
There's just three simple changes to your perception that can make the difference between managing the teenager next door versus being made to feel like a complete marketing relic, according to startup specialist Khuram Malik, who tells us he advised Joel Gascoigne before Gascoigne founded the now hot social media scheduler Buffer.
In a post published today on his personal blog, Malik breaks down those differences. Below is an excerpt of some of our favorite points:
Access to better information:
As adults, our social network loses its potency when it comes to flow of ideas and communication. That's not the case for youngsters. They're always communicating, always talking, always sharing and always learning. Intuitively they leverage their social network far better than you and I. This means they get better access to market information. They intuitively understand far better what the market demands and how to spot opportunities.
A sales funnel:
The hardest thing to create in any new business is a sales funnel. For example, a reliable and repeatable method for acquiring new prospects and converting them into customers. It's the most important thing the business needs (after value creation) and takes a long time to get right. The thing with the youngster is; he already has a sales funnel ready and waiting with most problems solved, meaning the sales funnel works optimally. Think eBay, Amazon, Craigslist and Gumtree.
A larger market:
The advent of the Internet spawned a new era of Globalisation we'd never witnessed before. Now, instead of making $100 in a week from the lemonade stand on the front lawn, the boy now makes $1000 a day selling his favourite comic theme toys to a global audience.
Malik also counts among his clients, HODT, a social media fan base with over 3 million followers, and RPC Containers, the plastics company behind Heinz and Dulux packaging. He just launched a freelance marketing course on Udemy, and is currently developing Storifi.it, mobile app writing game.
Michael earned his BA from Mercer University, along the way excavating a Roman bathhouse with the American School of Archaeology. Plus, he provided security at Oxford University, where he also studied literature and philosophy. He earned his MS from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism while training for and running in the New York marathon.

On September 6 FAURSCHOU FOUNDATION opens with an inaugural solo exhibition by contemporary artist Cai Guo-Qiang. Located at Pakhus 53 at Frihavnen in Copenhagen's North Harbour, the new venue has transformed over the course of six months from a former warehouse into a beautiful and versatile exhibition space. The opening exhibition will feature several newly commissioned artworks by Cai, as well as the artist's celebrated installation "Reflection - A Gift from Iwaki". Invitations to the opening will follow in August.
In 2011, after 25 years at St. Strandstræde, Luise and Jens Faurschou decided to transform Galleri Faurschou into Faurschou Foundation. They will now operate two exhibition spaces devoted to international contemporary art: Pakhus 53 in Frihavnen and the current location in 798 Art District in Beijing, China. Both exhibition spaces will be free and open to the public.
Over the years, Luise and Jens Faurschou have assembled a notable international collection, and are currently in the process of planning future exhibitions with some of the world's foremost contemporary artists, curators, museums, and galleries. The Faurschou Foundation supports a platform devoted to the creation of new works and is committed to presenting thought-provoking contemporary art to the public.
In the most literal sense, Cai Guo-Qiang has exploded the boundaries of contemporary art. He is well known for his signature firework events and use of gunpowder in his art. Taking his point of departure from Buddhist philosophy, Chinese medicine, and Taoist thinking, Cai 'draws' with gunpowder, creates large-scale firework explosion events, and 'heals' the earth on the basis of geomantic principles. His explosion events, often compared to performance art, include early projects such as extending the Great Wall of China by 10,000 meters so as to be seen from the vantage point of space. Most recently, he created a sequence of daytime fireworks in Doha, Qatar that included shapes of a pyramid, a rainbow, and a petrol ball.
In addition to drawing influence from his own cultural background, Cai also considers the social and cultural conditions of the place he is in to create site-specific works.
The artist has received innumerable international awards and is represented in many of the world's important collections. Cai has held solo museum exhibitions at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, New York, Museum of Contemporary Art, Massachusetts, Solomon R. Guggenheim, New York, and Guggenheim Bilbao, National Museum of China, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
In 1997, Cai had his first solo exhibition in the West at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk, an exhibition that has meant a great deal to him both professionally and artistically. The exhibition at the Faurschou Foundation marks his return to Denmark after fifteen years.
In the week prior to the exhibition opening, Cai will work with the assistance of local students and volunteers to create 'gunpowder drawings'; large drawings made by applying and igniting gunpowder on paper. These twelve works on paper will then be exhibited at Faurschou Foundation.
If you would like to participate in or to observe the process of creating these drawings between August 24 - September 2, 2012, please contact [email protected]

A Closer Look At Nokia's Comeback Story
Joseph is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Back in late November I wrote an article entitled Nokia: A Speculative Play on the Safer Side. In this article I argued that Nokia (NYSE: NOK) sported a solid balance sheet, detailed positive aspects of the company's other non-handset businesses, and claimed that the company had bright prospects if smartphone sales started picking up. Sales of the company's Lumia smartphones have apparently picked up, and the stock popped because of it. Let's take a look at the Nokia story a little closer after their recent run-up.
The company should still show a relatively solid-balance sheet at the end of this quarter, when Nokia reports on the 24 of this month. Especially since the company's CEO, Stephen Elop, came out and said that a surprise profit of up to 2% may be in store when earnings are reported- as opposed to an expected loss as large as 10%. Nokia is emerging as a leaner and meaner company as well, after implementing cost-cutting measures such as selling off their main headquarters in Finland- opting to lease it back instead. According to Nokia spokeswoman Susan Sheehan:
"The company is a lot smaller now but people are working better together... Everyone has been pitching in."
Nokia also has a strong advantage over competitors in China, after signing a lucrative deal with the world's largest carrier by subscribers, China Mobile (NYSE: CHL). Nokia has strong brand recognition in emerging countries such as China and India, and sells its Asha feature phones in these countries successfully. According to sources, they sold 9.3 million Asha units in India alone, on top of the 4.4 million estimated overall Lumia sales. Emerging market sales should continue to be a strength for the company.
Although becoming a leaner and meaner company, one that is more informed as to what it needs to do to accomplish a successful turnaround, Nokia's "cutting of the fat" may have also created some future weaknesses for itself. It is estimated that the company cut 50 million euros in patent royalties to help itself achieve profitability. This may come back to bite them later on, especially since their industry-leading patent portfolio is currently (and has been) one of their strengths. They have settled patent issues with Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) for an undisclosed amount, and have recently settled with Blackberry maker Research in Motion (NASDAQ: BBRY). RIM was ordered to pay $65 million to Nokia, as well as royalties for each new Blackberry sold. Nokia's patent portfolio has netted them an annual 500 million euros in the past, and cutting patent royalties bites into this income.
Still, Nokia has to do what it has to do, and the company has some great upcoming opportunities even without patent income. The company has had issues with supply constraints on its Lumia phones, so this may explain why the phones were selling out so fast initially. This impacts sales as well, and not positively. Assuming supply issues are addressed, sales will increase once demand can be adequately met. The company also has huge opportunities in emerging markets, as they have barely tapped the surface with smartphone sales, relying more on feature phones. The company will be releasing the Windows 8 powered Lumia 620 in India in February, which should help generate and meet smartphone demand in the growing country and boost sales for Nokia. As Windows 8 picks up, there should be more sales of Lumias worldwide, as well.
Nokia still faces the threat of burning through its cash horde, but since they are finally successfully selling smartphones, it is less of a concern. They still face competition from low-end Android models in emerging markets, however, and if rumors are true they may face competition from Apple as well. The rumor says that Apple will produce low-end, cheap iPhones, which would most likely hurt Nokia significantly. Will Apple do this? I don't know, but it would hurt them too, because it would shrink their margins and damage their "premium" image. It would also potentially wipe out weaker competitors like Nokia, too- so it's all speculation at this point.
One more concerning Apple move for Nokia is Tim Cook's meeting with China Mobile, to discuss "matters of cooperation." If China Mobile does work something out with Apple and provides a subsidized iPhone alongside the Nokia Lumia 920T, it would instantly take away one of Nokia's main advantages and limit one of their strengths. Apple taking away Nokia's smartphone monopoly with China Mobile is definitely a big, big threat.
The Bottom Line:
Nokia is beating expectations and appears to be successfully turning itself around, but it still faces many threats. Competition from iOS and Droid will remain cutthroat. Profitability is great, especially when unexpected- but if key patents are being liquidated it could also lead to less income in the future. This shouldn't be as much of a concern, however, if the Lumias keep selling well. One of the key concerns that needs to be addressed is supply issues. Investors should also keep in mind that Nokia's potentially profitable upcoming earnings may have been boosted by cost cutting and the selling of patents- not solely due to the selling of smartphones. This quarter was a seasonably good one as well. All of the company's segments should beat expectations, however, and if the company can stabilize and remain profitable going forward, relying more on its businesses and less on cost cutting- the comeback will be real. Until then, Nokia still needs to be watched closely; but it appears that the worst may finally be behind them.

SICK! "Boston Massacre" Shirts From Nike?
Nike has yanked T-shirts that said "Boston Massacre" in the aftermath of last week's bombings.
The shirts, which featured blood-splattered lettering, were designed for New York Yankees fans.
The "Boston Massacre" phrase has been used to describe a late-season sweep of the Red Sox back in 1978. The Yankees ended up winning the World Series that year.
Nike says its "confident the product has been removed from distribution."

Dr. Niederhuber's Remarks at the ASCO Opening Session
The following is an abridged version of the prepared remarks delivered by NCI Director Dr. John Niederhuber on May 31 during the opening session of the 2008 ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL. This text represents the basis of his remarks and may have been modified slightly during delivery.
Good morning and thank you for asking me to appear before you today. … We are extremely fortunate to have such outstanding leaders of [ASCO] - individuals who so clearly understand the times we live in and the challenges and opportunities that lie before us - as we lead a transformation of science and medicine in the post-human-genome era. Among our many challenges, there is none, I believe, greater than the necessity that we more rapidly translate our discoveries, our new interventions, to patients.
As oncologists, as cancer physicians, we become intimate with the fears of our patients. Sitting at the bedside, gazing into the frightened, tearful eyes of far too many men, women, and children just learning they have cancer, we know that statistics are never simply numbers. They are very real individuals, each in his or her own way grasping to cope with news that, as a young physician being treated for Hodgkin disease recently reminded me, "is a life-changing event."
Recently, cancer has deeply touched us. Last year, at this podium, we honored a lifetime of dedicated service and leadership by our great friend and revered colleague Marty Abeloff. This year, we are all diminished by his absence. His loss, although months past, is still fresh, still palpable, and still painful to his colleagues and friends.
We also remember - I, especially - Judah Folkman, a legendary surgeon, educator, and researcher, whose skill, vision, and compassion we dearly miss and shall never forget.
Cancer intrudes into our national consciousness, as well. Just a few weeks ago, the Honorable Edward Kennedy chaired a special hearing of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee to consider ways our country could invest in and reinvigorate its collective efforts against cancer. Today, Senator Kennedy is courageously negotiating the treacherous path of the very disease he has worked so hard, for so many years, to fight. It is impossible to escape the irony that one of the architects of the landmark National Cancer Act of 1971 now turns his battle inward.
I daresay none of us has escaped cancer's scars, whether we wear those marks personally or symbolically, on behalf of a loved one.
As a nation, I believe we must confront the fact that a rapidly aging population and its cancer burden will weigh heavily, not only on health care, but on the workforce and our economy. As cancer researchers and cancer physicians, we face an inescapable question: Can we sustain our momentum and continue to lessen the all too devastating impact of cancer?
I believe that we are all here in Chicago this week, thousands strong, to resoundingly answer: "Yes."
We are here to listen and learn and share and discuss - and even debate - the promise of science and the assurance that we will not rest until that promise is delivered to all of our cancer patients, whether they seek treatment in a world-renowned university cancer center or in a rural community hospital. And we must resolve to consign to history the inequalities of cancer treatment that arise from age, frailty, race, ethnicity, poverty, and language.
As director of the National Cancer Institute - your National Cancer Institute - I stand here this morning to recommit NCI to make every effort toward the healthy tomorrows we all envision. I extend this promise fully aware of the challenges [presented by 4 straight years of funding that have been consistently below the rate of medical inflation].
I also know that our cancer patients don't want to hear explanations about flat budgets. They want prevention options. They want effective, novel therapies. NCI has an obligation, to our patients and to our country, to set the agenda for and to facilitate cancer research in the decades ahead. I believe, as well, that NCI is uniquely poised to bring together industry, academia, and government in the search for solutions none could provide by itself.
We come together during a time of unparalleled discovery, of rapidly mounting information about the alterations of the code of life that become aberrant and lead to cancer. Consider, if you will, The Cancer Genome Atlas, often called TCGA for short, to denote the four DNA bases. Co-sponsored by NCI and our sister NIH institute, the National Human Genome Research Institute, this 3-year pilot project is an effort to test the feasibility of large-scale characterization and sequencing of patients' tumors. We have sequencing centers up and running, along with tissue characterization centers making sure samples archived for sequencing (up to 500 samples of both tumor and matched normal tissue) are of sufficient quality.
The first cancers being studied in this pilot program are lung, ovarian, and glioblastoma multiforme. In part, because high-quality tumor tissue has been available, glioblastoma has led the way in this effort. To date, more than 234 tumors have undergone comprehensive characterization and 1,300 genes have been sequenced, and some fascinating associations have been revealed - specifically, two genes that are highly associated with glioblastoma: NF1 and Erbb2. Neither of these genes was previously known to have an association with this disease. In addition, previously unknown changes in the EGF receptor and the p53 tumor suppressor gene are now known to be part of glioblastoma's course. Based on this new, very preliminary analysis, at least four general subtypes of glioblastoma are emerging.
Tumor sequencing of this sort, along with the rapidly advancing field of whole-genome scanning, are, without a doubt, at the forefront of cancer science. Yet, for now, this is just information: a collection of T's, C's, G's, and A's. Our challenge is to convert this powerful information into knowledge of how gene expression is transcriptionally regulated; how that expression is translated into proteins affecting signal pathways; and how these changes eventually alter tissue function and disease phenotype. These determinations will not be easy.
Ultimately, the power of the genome will be to push forward the development of new strategies in prevention, new opportunities for early detection, essential biomarkers of disease, and, of course, novel drugs and new treatment approaches. We must be focused on enabling translation.
This need was made clear in a report in 2007 of NCI's Translational Research Working Group, which spent 2 years conducting a detailed analysis of how to realize the power of a bench-to-bedside approach. The report called on NCI to tailor both new and existing programs to facilitate early translational research progress. NCI is working hard to answer the report's call in five key ways.
The first area is clinical research. We are fortunate to have, on the NIH campus in Bethesda, the world's largest hospital principally devoted to clinical studies. It is the home to a dedicated cadre of NCI intramural science programs and scientists. But we have also come to believe that, in order to facilitate the best translational efforts, this outstanding facility should become a resource for the extramural community. For the first time, we have a trial open with an extramural co-principal investigator, and there are several more such trials pending.
Additionally, we are reaching out to both the new Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, which is due to begin construction across the street from NIH this summer, and Suburban Hospital, which is across the street on the other side of campus. These two facilities have the potential to give us an opportunity to work on prevention and to see more early stage patients.
Our second goal is drug development. NCI often works with orphan opportunities: small molecules and biologics that are not being developed by industry because they lack a significant market share or they are too risky to pursue. We must enable that work. We see drug development as a platform that encompasses a new chemical biology consortium and extends NCI's Developmental Therapeutics Program. We have a duty, I believe, to develop new agents and to carry them forward to first-in-human studies.
Drug development will make our third goal essential: Reaching out to work with both the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, connecting regulators and those responsible for reimbursement. Just one example is our Interagency Oncology Drug Task Force that, among other functions, sponsors NCI-FDA fellowships to train young scientists in research and in research-related review, policies, and regulations.
Public-private partnerships will also be increasingly necessary. As we move to a more personalized era of oncology, it is clear that we will require multiple agents to target multiple pathways in the same patient. Facilitating that future will challenge how we think of competition, intellectual property, and even the language of contracts. I believe NCI must step into those areas and become the facilitator between the public, private, and academic sectors. I believe it is a fair question to ask: If not NCI, then who will lead this absolutely vital effort?
Fifth and finally, if NCI is to appropriately facilitate translation, we must make every attempt to provide stable funding for some of the most important programs at the heart of translational research. Specifically, I am referring to clinical trials, the Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPOREs), the Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOPs), and the Cooperative Groups.
Although it is entirely possible that NCI's below-inflation funding may continue for several more years, we will do - and must do - all we can to keep these crucial programs vigorous.
Overarching all that we do, NCI has a duty to make every effort to reduce the disparities that affect cancer prevention and treatment. I am convinced that access to our latest science will be the greatest determinant of cancer mortality in the years to come.
To address this we are now beginning the second year of our NCI Community Cancer Centers pilot program, a research effort to study how we can best bring state-of-the-art, multi-specialty care, and earliest-phase clinical research - phase I and phase II studies - to patients in the communities where they live. It gives me great pride to hear the 16 community hospital [pilot] sites report on their enthusiastic efforts, and how much they have been able to leverage the modest funding provided by NCI. It is also extremely gratifying to know that these pilot sites, seven of which have links to the CCOP program, are participating in ASCO's Quality Oncology Practice Initiative.
All of NCI's efforts - and certainly all of your efforts as oncologists - are about individuals with cancer. We have made many, many advances, and today we are witnessing perhaps the most exciting era in science's history.
I would like to conclude this morning with the story of a patient. It is a story not about a common occurrence or even one that may be replicated. It is a story about the power and the importance of your National Cancer Institute. It is a story of NCI's work in drug development and of facilitating early translational research.
When our patient arrived at the NIH Clinical Center, she couldn't even make a fist. Her hands, wrists, elbows, and knees could scarcely bend. Her skin was cracking, and she suffered the pain of many open skin lesions. Her face was swollen and disfigured. A once-vibrant woman in her late twenties, she was now severely anemic, wheelchair bound, and wrapped in blankets to preserve the body heat her skin could no longer retain. Over 2 years, as she suffered the disabling and constantly progressive manifestations of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, the nights spent in the hospital had come to greatly outnumber those spent at home.
She was in hospice care and lacked the strength to be with her two small children. She came to the Clinical Center virtually out of treatment options, and once there, an initial short list of experimental treatments all failed.
Having apparently run out of hope, our patient's story came to the attention of Dr. Martin Gutierrez, a staff clinician with NCI's Medical Oncology Branch. Dr. Gutierrez, who has spent his career working with T-cell lymphoma patients, suggested trying a new drug being developed through NCI's well-known RAID Program. The Rapid Access to Intervention Development Program, as you are well aware, exists to speed the translation of novel anticancer therapies from our laboratories into first-in-human studies.
The drug utilized by Dr. Gutierrez, fenretinide, was one that was developed but never marketed by a pharmaceutical company as a chemopreventive agent. It was brought to the RAID program by an extramural investigator from Los Angeles, who wanted to reformulate it as a potential chemotherapeutic drug, based on observations he had made in laboratory models.
In this case, the drug paid off, and paid off dramatically. Within the first few doses, Dr. Gutierrez began to see remarkable improvement. Within 7 months, the patient's symptoms were completely gone. Today, almost 2 years after her arrival at the Clinical Center, the patient's tests show no evidence of disease.
To me this story - not a report of a large clinical trial, but involving just one patient - illustrates many aspects of the role of NCI. It was not the most common cancer problem and not the most common potential therapeutic compound. Instead, it is a great example of the partnerships between the extramural community and NCI in the development of novel agents. It is, I believe, an example of the increasing need for the development of new therapies that are not attracting the prime interest of the private sector. It is about knowing the science and using that knowledge to drive drug discovery; about using genetics to drive high-throughput screening; about the power of a large workforce of chemists to address formulation; and about scientific opportunity, without the consideration of shareholder profit.
We are all looking to the day when stories like this are commonplace, when we make cancer a more chronic, manageable condition.
We have many miles and, yes, a few mountains ahead of us on [our] path. My commitment to you is that your National Cancer Institute will walk beside you, helping you negotiate every step.
May our days here in Chicago renew our spirits, renew our commitment, and recharge us for the walk ahead. Thank you for all you do and for your support, and thank you for being here this morning.

Imagine you are a patient under anesthesia in the middle of surgery, when suddenly, you are engulfed in flames. This is what the FDA says happens more than 600 times every year in the U.S.
Dr. Peter Grossman is the director of the Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles. He says the trouble occurs when an electrical tool or laser ignites the oxygen. And these tools are being used more and more during many different kinds of surgeries.
"The main cause of operating room fires are two things -- oxygen and a combustible source," says Dr. Grossman. "That source of electrical current, the body tissue, and the oxygen creates that explosion."
Catherine Reuter's mother was in surgery for a tracheotomy and caught fire after a cauterizing tool ignited the alcohol-based skin prep.
"Initially when this happened, I thought my mom was the only person," says Reuter. "It started on her right shoulder, and from there it went up the right side of her face to her ear, her eyes, her mouth, her nose and her scalp."Catherine says her mother knew she would not survive."I asked her what I could do to help her," says Reuter. "And she said there was nothing I could do, but I could educate others so this didn't continue to happen."To help raise awareness, Catherine created the web site Surgicalfire.org. She says hospitals need to include the steps for surgical fire prevention as part of their standard operating room checklist."If this was added as one of the criteria for the OR checklist, my mother would have been spared this pain and suffering. And by not adding it, it's foolish and it's risky on the hospital's part," says Reuter.To help reduce that risk, Dr. Grossman advises patients to discuss fire prevention with the operating room staff as you're being prepped for surgery."A lot of times what you just want to do is to raise awareness to the team of professionals who are working on you so they don't forget things that they know, but they just sometimes don't pay that much attention to," says Dr. Grossman.And that's advice Cathy Reuter follows herself.
"I've had several surgeries since my mom and I ask," says Reuter. "This is something every hospital and ambulatory center should know about. If they don't have this education, I don't want them touching me."Bottom line: Operating room fires are preventable. So if you or a loved one is about to have surgery, be sure to ask the medical team if they are aware of surgical fires and how they start. Do they know how to prevent a fire? And should one start – how are they prepared to stop it? Because operating room fires are real … and can happen to anyone.

The French answer to Google Earth, the indirectly government funded Geoportail, launched Friday and was immediately overwhelmed with visits from eager French citoyens (citizens) and other curious would-be users. After several visits to the site this weekend, I was still unable to get in to see anything. Each time I tried I encountered this message: "Vous êtes incroyablement nombreux à vous connecter au Géoportail, portail des territoires et des citoyens depuis sa mise en ligne." In my broken French it roughly translates: "An incredible number of you have connected to Geoportail, portal of the territories and the citizens, since the site came online."
In other words, revenu plus tard (come back later).
Here are some screenshots of the different map views, including Birds Eye-like angled aerial photography. Built by the government funded Insitut Geographique National for a reported Euro 6 million (roughly US$7.51 million), the site offers detailed maps, geographic and other data and high-resolution aerial photography of France and French territories abroad. Reportedly the resolution goes down to 20 inches, which I believe is the best currently available in France and perhaps the whole of Europe (though Microsoft's Vexcel camera goes to 6 inches).
A 3-D tool is apparently being introduced later in the year.
Although I haven't been able to use it, the reports and descriptions suggest that it's a potentially worthy competitor to Google, Yahoo and MSN mapping tools in France.
If you can read French and want to look at the press materials and some Quicktime videos related to the site, you can see those here.
Here's more from Gary Price at ResourceShelf, who reminds us of other sites that map France, including France Télécom's PagesJaunes street-level photography (like A9's Block View).
