Local entropy based image reconstruction
AbstractThis article presents a local entropy based image reconstruction algorithm that performs quite well in cases where there is distortion in an image. If the wanted image information is still available but distributed over two or more distinct images, the algorithm can collect the required information from the set of the images given. Instead of inferring pixel data information from the remainder of one single image, the algorithm provides a decision rule on what information from which one of the set of given images to actually use in order to create a new, (ideally) distortionfree image. --

About Us
The Evangelical Covenant Church is a fellowship of more than 800 churches in the United States and Canada; with mission fields located in many other countries. The Covenant headquarters are located in Chicago, Illinois.
The church traces its origin to the Protestant Reformation, the state church in Sweden, and the great spiritual awakening of the nineteenth century. Although the historic confessions and creeds of the Christian Church are highly valued, the Covenant Church believes that the Bible, as the Word of God, is the only authority for faith, doctrine, and conduct. Central in our faith is the need for a living relationship with God – new life made possible through His Son, Jesus Christ. We believe that the church is made up of all those who have entered into that relationship, and that all needs are met by the Lord Jesus Christ as His people worship, study, pray and believe together.
Brantford Covenant Church was organized in 1882 by ten families of Swedish immigrants under the name "The Swedish Evangelical Mission Church." Today it is a family and community church whose membership comes from many surrounding communities including Agenda, Clifton, Clyde, Haddam, Linn, and Washington.

Hollywood celebrity gossip recently learned that WILL SMITH turned down the title role for "Django Unchained"—which eventually went to JAMIE FOXX—because it "wasn't the lead" role.
So it looks like there may have been some truth to the previous claim made by actress Janet Hubert—one of Will Smith's "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" co-stars—about the actor being an "egomaniac."
Initially, director Quentin Tarantino had wanted Smith to play the title role in "Django Unchained" (which went on become his highest-grossing film to date and earned numerous Academy Award nominations) instead of Jamie Foxx. Unfortunately, the "Men In Black" star rejected the offer, because even though the titular slaved-turned-bounty hunter appeared to be the main character, his partner (played by Christoph Waltz) was actually the lead.
And of course, Smith wanted top billing.
He tells Entertainment Weekly:
"Django wasn't the lead, so it was like, I need to be the lead… The other character was the lead!"
He adds:
"I was like, 'No, Quentin, please, I need to kill the bad guy!'"
However, in an ironic twist of fate, the role of Django Freeman was eventually promoted to the lead, while Waltz's role—for which he won an Oscar—became the supporting character.
Nonetheless, Will has no hard feelings. He shares:
"I thought ["Django Unchained"] was brilliant. Just not for me."
What can you say about Will's "need" to be the lead actor?

Found January 02, 2013 on Ted's Army:
PLAYERS: Joel Hanrahan, Andrew Bailey, Junichi Tazawa, Koji Uehara
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox made it very clear after acquiring Joel Hanrahan that the former Pirate would close and incumbent closer Andrew Bailey would be a set-up man. How is Bailey handling the demotion? Quite well, actually. Via WEEI: "I'm excited to have him. I think it makes our bullpen that much stronger," said Bailey. [...] "I think that with me and him going eight, nine, that's kind of set out in the forefront, I like it and I think it makes us that much stronger. The focus is on winning. It makes our team better. Plus, with everyone else in the 'pen, it makes us one of the strongest assets on the team." [...] "Sure, it's first priority for all relievers to want to close. But it's not like I'm upset about it or anything. It's just a tweak in the job description. It's not the end of anything. It will be good. I'm looking forward to working with [Hanrahan]. I think it's going to be a great duo down there, and obviously with everyone coming back, it's going to be awesome. Like I said, there's going to be a lot of arms to choose from and matchups. It's going to be a lot of fun." If you read the rest of his quotes, he says all the right things. He wants to show everyone what he can do. He wants to win. He's excited to be part of the solution. It's good to see him admit that he would prefer to close -- otherwise I'd assume the whole thing is politics and he's just lying all over the place. It all sounds like his head is screwed on straight. He probably talked to his agent and realized that once you've closed, regardless of what happens to your role you can still get closer money. So when free agency comes in 2015, even if Bailey ends up setting up both of the next two years, he can still bill himself as a closer on the free agent market. As far as this year goes, I have to agree with Bailey. It sounds like the team focused on making the bullpen a strength. While I've focused on it from an asset perspective in other posts (i.e., being able to trade any of Bailey, Hanrahan, Junichi Tazawa, or Koji Uehara at the deadline), if the team does end up being a contender, a strong bullpen would obviously be a major factor in the postseason.

NOTE: Quantity of 1 adds a
Single 275-55-20 Continental CrossContact LX Tire to your shopping cart.
The CrossContact LX is Continental's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire developed to help crossovers, sport utility vehicles and light-duty pickup trucks perform on the highway and in light off-road conditions. The CrossContact LX is designed to reduce noise and rolling resistance while enhancing ride comfort and all-season traction, even in light snow.
The CrossContact LX molds Continental's Tri-net silica tread compound into an asymmetric tread design that delivers all-season handling and traction. Its notched outboard shoulder supported by a continuous circumferential rib promotes on-road steering response, straight-line stability and ride comfort. Three rows of independent central tread blocks featuring interlocking sipes enhance traction in light snow while four broad circumferential grooves feature a tapered profile (widening at the tread surface) to enhance hydroplaning resistance and reduce the possibility of tire damage from stones becoming caught in the tread design. Continental's Acoustic Alterra Technology, derived from the study of sound over all surfaces, helps reduce road noise.
The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts to provide strength on top of a polyester cord body that helps cushion the ride. All sizes of the CrossContact LX come with a flanged lower sidewall to help reduce the possibility of curb damage to expensive wheels.

About the Show - Audience
Reporters | Production Crew | Speakers | Audience | Feedback
This nationally-distributed television program is the most prominent offering of positive stories about American agriculture weekly on air, and daily online. America's Heartland has given hundreds of farm and ranch families across all 50 states the opportunity – in their own words – to share the diverse story of agriculture with consumers. Yet it's more than that, it's personal. Through the show's programming these agriculturalists have been able to emotionally connect urban and rural viewers alike. Their stories forged common ground to unite through values and needs – more than about just the essentials like food & shelter – but about our love for our families and generations to come, an appreciation for the land and caring for the environment.
Started in 2005 and now in its tenth season, this Emmy-award winning series has become a flagship program of public television stations across the United States, and has sustained its audience each season. That audience includes more than one million people watching each episode on more than 240 stations covering 60% of the United States. It airs in most of the top 25 U.S. TV Markets, including Washington DC, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Orlando, San Francisco, Detroit, Tampa and Denver. It is also a primetime ratings success, airing three times a week on RFD-TV, the cable and satellite channel. Find where America's Heartland is airing near you.
These viewers of public television are anything but ordinary. Surveys show public broadcast system (PBS) viewers are decision-makers in their community, twice as likely to be active in civic issues, and more inclined to reach out to their elected officials. They trust the mission of PBS and value that stations use a unique, non commercial license to create content and services that inform, inspire, educate and engage.
Often the viewers are personally investing in the station and value that it remains locally owned and managed. That means PBS stations look for content that can be grounded in the community's needs and values.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
The first and second wars are truly the key to understanding current Horde/Alliance relations, and it's also key to understanding the current dissonnence within the Horde created by the Thrall vs Garrosh relationship.
During the First and Second Wars, the Horde was for all intents and purposes absolute evil. Not only did they kill everything in their path, they frequently used the freshly dead to do their bidding via Necromancers in the first war and Death Knights in the second war.
Many of the older orcs, Saurfang included, look at this time with shame and the time of Draenie holocaust with even more shame. The Humans/Alliance had the high moral ground, breifly.
The fault of the Alliance comes with the treatment and view of the orcs after the wars. After they had won, they looked at all the orcs with fear and hatred. As understandable as that is given the history, it leaves little room for the Horde to redeem themselves in the eyes of the Humans. This means that many members of the Alliance, humans in particular, are now being ass hats when they meet orcs.
Then this guy named Thrall comes along and says, "We're people too. We deserve our strength. We deserve redemption. And we deserve to not put up with ass-hattery." Little wonder he's able to rally the Horde, and through the events of the Third War he's able to forge the ground work for positive Horde/Alliance relations with Jaina Proudmoore. Many orcs enjoy Thrall's vision, the Tauren and trolls are straight up in the Horde because of Thrall's vision and actions.
But enter Varian and Garrosh. Varian, who's understandably very hesitant to trust orcs--remember he saw what they did through two wars and they personally attacked his family, meets Garrosh, who comes out of the gate and pretty much says, "During the First and Second Wars the Horde was at its strongest. I want to see a return of the Horde on par if not better than that strength. I will KILL anybody I feel is necessary to see us return to our former glory."
So Varian feels he needs to get ready for blood, and he won't let Stormwind fall again. Jaina is yelling wait a minute. And Thrall is wondering what the hell he was thinking to allow that upstart idiot talk at anything diplomatically important.
MrMindless said...
I agree with most of your post, but one thing.
The imprisonment of the orcs was actually the best option for the horde. They could not have let the orcs roam free for 2 reasons: 1 nobody knew if they just wern't faking it and would go back to killing everyone they saw (remember the alliance never knew about their noble past, nor about demon blood, all they knew was that green skinned monsters came out of the dark portal and killed everyone who couldn't get out of their way). And 2: there would have been massive civil unrest if they did. Possably civil wars. The people wanted retribution for their losses, which is perfectly understandably. If an orc killed your wife and children you are not okay with it being released just because them seem like they'll never do it again, justice doesn't work that way right now either.
There were some evil camps, that is true, but there were also other camps where they actively tried to cure the orcs from their state of apathy (and one dalaran mage got killed this way). But still this was way better then what the High elves (now who are partially horde as the bloodelves) and Greymane wanted: killing every single orc on azeroth. Which they by all laws of the nations involved had full rights to.
The orcs were not slaves: they went in a state of apathy, doing absolutely nothing. So using them as slaves was out of the picture. Many nations had to increase taxes to feed the orcs causing their civilians to sorta rise up against it.
There were far worse things that could have happened to the orcs
Oh, I agree with you Mindless, and I apologize if my tone was misleading about the internment camps. I think, given the options the Alliance had at the time they put the Orcs into internment, that was definately the best option. I think their problem comes from doing too little too late, and from their treatment of the orcs while they're in the interment camps.
Only right before Thrall escapes do we start to see some mages in Dalaran taking an educated interest in the orcs. Fordring was banded as a traitor and banished for seeing Eitrigg as honorable and helping the old orc. If Thrall was raised by somebody who was intently interested in seeing orc potential as something more than a money making tool, somebody who would have been more like a true parent. If somebody like Khadgar had found the baby instead somebody like Blackmoore, and had been in charge of the internment camps, I have little doubt current Horde/Alliance relations would be much different.
If a few key members of the Alliance had showed more courage to understanding the Horde once the war was over, the internment camps would have been run differently, the orcs would have had less resentment toward the Alliance about it. But for the Alliance part, I feel that part of the problem for that divide comes down to Jaina, who saw the ors at their best and Varian, who's only seen the orcs at their worst. If Varian had been on the slopes of Mount Hyjal with Thrall, he would likewise me much more tolerant of Garrosh's loud mouth.

The dim light from the desk lamp made the sleeping figure's skin glow softly. Pink tresses slid slowly across a strong frame and shoulders, making its way over a peaches and cream hued cheek of their face; calm from the light sleep that they had fallen into by accident while reading.
The book had lain still in the Prince's hand which rested over the edge of her bunk bed. As she slept the more relaxed her grip became, till finally the book slid from her fingers and slammed shut against the hard wood floor. Utena awoke started and nearly fell from her recent perch. She sweat dropped and proceeded to descend the last few steps of her bed's latter and noticed ChuChu eating a late night snack on the small coffee table in the center of the room, scattering cookie crumbs as he nibbled noisily. Utena still flushed from her slowly awakening embarrassment, looked to the money mouse creature sheepishly.
"You didn't see that, okay ChuChu?"
"Good." Utena glanced down at the bunk bed below hers and saw that it was empty.
'I wonder where Hime is this late. She was sleeping when I started reading.'
She noticed that the door to their room was ajar and she pushed it open looking out into the dim hallway of the empty dorm that they shared by themselves. She never really noticed how lonely and quiet it was until she was alone.
Utena leaned against the door frame arms crossed as she slowly rubbed the tiredness from her eyes and tried to think of places Anthy could be and stopped hearing the faint sound of music being played from down stairs.
"Do you hear that?" She asked over her shoulder to her chewing companion who had finished his cookie and climbed up to sit on her shoulder.
Slowly descending the stairs, Utena quietly made her way to room the music was coming from and looked in. What she saw made her smile. The music had been from Anthy who sat at the piano playing a beautiful piece that needed no sheet music. She went to take another step when the worn floor boards of the large empty house had creaked under her weight. Utena winced a little and hoped Anthy hadn't heard her, but the music had stopped.
"Oh Utena-sama, I didn't mean to wake you."
The pajama clad tomboy shook her head a little feeling sorry that she had been spying in the first place. ChuChu scrambled down off her shoulder and went to sit beside his mistress and play with the dial on the piano's top that was used for keeping the tempo.
"You didn't wake me. I'm sorry for interrupting your playing. I had no idea you had such a talent, Hime." Utena responded awed still by the pretty music that had once flowed through the room.
"It's really nothing. I've played ever since I can remember." Anthy touched her fingers to the keys again and continued with her music even though Utena was still in the room.
"You don't mind if I listen?" Utena asked, sitting beside her on the piano bench. She wondered if this was considered one of the tasks for the rose bride did for their engaged and that was why she didn't mind.
"Not at all, Utena-sama; I like to play for you." Anthy smiled to her genuinely as she said this and a blush crossed Utena's cheeks a little and ran her fingers lightly over her side of the keys.
"Maybe someday you could teach me, and we could play a duet together."
"I would like that very much."
~ La Fin ~
~ ~ ~ ~
Authors notes:
If you haven't noticed, Anthy represents the bird from like before and her playing is symbolic. Like how the bird wouldn't sing for Touga, but Anthy choose to play for Utena. And of course the promise at the end is like the promise in the episode before the last one I think when Utena tells Anthy they will have tea together ten years from then. Anyway I hoped you liked it.

LG Escape for AT&T revealed in leaked images, LG Intuition for Verizon tipped for September 6 arrivalAlex Wagner - Editorial Director of News and Content
Ready for a pair of LG leaks to start your Saturday off right? First up, we've got a pair of images from DroidDog showing an AT&T-bound handset referred to as the LG Escape. Also known as the LG P870, the device is rumored to sport a 4-inch qHD (960x540) screen, 1.5GHz dual-core MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 processor, 5-megapixel camera, 1GB RAM, NFC and 4G LTE connectivity. What we don't know about the Escape quite yet is when it'll be launching or how much it'll cost when it does.
One device that we do have availability details for, though, is the LG Intuition for Verizon. Some new shots leaked to Engadget have revealed that the LG Intuition may hit Verizon's shelves on September 6, the same day as the Samsung Galaxy Stellar. The Intuition apparently won't arrive in all channels on that date, though, as it's said that the handset will be available online starting September 6 and then in stores on September 10. In addition to providing a potential launch date, the leaked shots confirmed many of the Intuition's specs. Here's what you can expect from Verizon's version of the Optimus Vu:
- 5-inch 1024x768 display
- 1.5GHz dual-core MSM8660 Snapdragon S3 processor
- 8-megapixel rear, 1.3-megapixel front cameras
- 1GB RAM, 32GB storage
- 4G LTE connectivity (microSIM card)
- Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Nothing terribly surprising there, but it's still nice to have an idea of what to expect once the Intuition finally lands at Verizon. There's no mention of pricing in these images, but a previous leak claimed that the Intuition will be priced at $199.99 with a two-year contract at launch, while full retail pricing may be set at $549.99. Meanwhile, the LG Escape for AT&T looks like it could be worth checking out for folks that want a new LTE-capable handset with a smaller (by today's high-end smartphone standards, anyway) display around 4 inches. Stay tuned for more details on both the Escape and Intuition as we get our mitts on 'em.

Certified financial planner Wes Moss provides personal finance advice and accessible investment strategies. His guest post appears here Monday mornings.
Last night the White House and congressional leaders told the world a deal had been reached. However, that deal still needs to be approved by both the House and the Senate today.
Markets initially rallied on the news, but by mid-morning the gains had been wiped away — the market's way of saying, "the deal isn't done until it's done."
So as the clock still ticks toward the deadline for Congress to raise the government's debt ceiling, investors at every income level and life stage are asking what they should do to protect themselves if negotiations don't work out.
I'll address some of those questions. But first, it's important to clarify some terminology. Despite today's tentative agreement, a failure to increase the debt limit by tomorrow would still not result in a sudden financial default by the U.S. government. The government has plenty of money to keep paying the interest on its current debt. Other budget items like federal salaries, HUD programs, Department of Energy, etc. could experience delayed payments if the debt ceiling isn't raised.
But even if today's deal does go though, our government's AAA credit rating is at risk of being downgraded.
To put all this in personal finance terms: missing the deadline would hurt our credit score and possibly boost our cost to borrow long-term money (think a 30-year mortgage), but it won't immediately put us in default on the current mortgage or force us into bankruptcy.
With that in mind, here are some answers to popular questions I've been getting.
Should I just sell everything and wait this out? That certainly seems like a logical approach. Why not head for a safe harbor until the storm passes? While I don't recommend this strategy, you need to be comfortable with your investment decisions. If you are literally having trouble sleeping because of concerns about your investments, then yes, cash out.
Some things to consider before you get out of the market:
Should I sell my stocks and buy bonds? Again, while this makes sense on the surface, the bond market is not a guaranteed safe haven. In the event of a default, almost every type of bond would become less valuable as interest rates would start to rise. But again, we aren't looking at default as an option.
By the way, if you're thinking of selling your U.S. Treasury bonds, ask yourself where your money will be safer. If Treasury bonds take a tumble, all government bonds — state, municipal, foreign – will drop along with them.
Should I get into gold? Gold shines brightest in crisis. The fear and uncertainty of the past few years have driven it to new heights. But remember, when things calm down, the bottom could drop right out of the price of gold just as quickly as any other investment. I believe that owning 5 to 10 percent in gold — preferably a gold ETF — is fine as part of a balanced portfolio. But I can't with good conscience recommend jumping into the shiny stuff with both feet right now.
Should I buy a house before interest rates go up? If you have done your due diligence and are ready to buy a home you plan to own for at least five years –- yes, do it. A downgrade of the government's credit rating will almost certainly result in increased mortgage rates.
But there is no need to rush out and grab the first house that kinda, sorta meets your needs. Remember, if mortgage rates go up, house prices will fall. So take your time. It's going to be a buyers' market for some time yet, even if mortgages get more expensive.
How will this affect my trip to Europe? The debt crisis is likely to continue to weaken the dollar against other currencies. That slide, which has been going on for some time, shows no sign of ending. So if you are planning an overseas trip, go as soon as possible –- and be prepared for a shock every time you do a currency exchange.

"Markets initially rallied on the news, but by mid-morning the gains had been wiped away — the market's way of saying, "the deal isn't done until it's done."
I thought it had to do with the manufacturing report showing BARELY any growth… 50 and change.

Cutting spending with no revenue is a half-baked solution, and the timing couldn't be worse when we need to be stimulating the economy to create jobs. This is only going to push us back into recession. Thanks – TeaParty extremists who have no clue about economics.

I think Steve is the one with no clue about economics. Government doesn't create jobs nearly as efficiently as the private sector lame-brain. And just call it what it is – additional revenue is political speech for higher taxes. That's what hampers job creation. Have you ever even been inside an econ class?

So if tax rates are at multi-decade lows, how come new jobs are being churned out left and right?
answer: DEMAND is what creates jobs, NOT tax rates

Exactly DW – you make my point for me. It's simple supply and demand at the bottom of it all. Demand for workers due to private investment and growth is the biggest spur to job creation. Thanks for agreeing with me.
BTW – What was the cost per job of that stimulus package? Really efficient use of resources there, huh?
Also, if there's one thing investors hate – it's instability in the government. When you have a president that takes over a sixth of the economy and feels free to fire presidents of corporations, guess what – people who are trying to earn a return on the risk they're taking with their money don't like that. Shocking, I know.

Obama tripling what was already a monstrous deficit under Bush doesn't help calm the economic waters in this country either. This is withoug a doubt, the most anti-private sector administration we've ever had. Absolutely no real world business experience but he has the gall to lecture us about "eating our peas." What in his experience in as a "community organizer" qualifies for this?
If the country has questions on "feelings", by all means, let a liberal handle it. Leave business to fiscal conservatives.

I just found this 1998 photograph of KRM. He's standing between The Moustache, on the left, who has just taken over as deputy chairman, president and chief operating officer of News Corp for a total first-year comp package which could be more than $40 million; and The Hair, on the right, who was earning about the same when he quit the job. (Stockmasters have earlier and later photos of Carey, which are well worth checking out. He certainly beats Bob Druskin's 'tache hands-down — but of course it's the bald guy in the middle who is probably worth more than everybody else in the photograph combined, including the spectators.)
Are you honestly putting up this post the day after you went on and on about how Choire was right, and it was important for finance bloggers to be less obscure and more reader-friendly? Are you deliberately parodying yourself? KRM — what does that mean? Who's Carey? Oh, I guess I can follow the link to find that out — too much trouble to take a couple of words to explain it to the reader. Seriously, this is the definitive "to hell with you if you don't know what I'm talking about" post.
Seconded – I'm a regular reader who didn't need CRA explained and was happy enough with the swap spread explanation link, and is happy to follow links in general. But I've followed the links and am still none the wiser about 'KRM'
KRM is the bald guy in the middle.
So what's the rhetorical benefit of writing "I just found this 1998 photograph of KRM" as opposed to "I just found this 1998 photograph of Rupert Murdoch," when KRM is a reference that's going to be completely obscure to a sizeable percentage of your American readers? Does it do anything other than say "if you're not in the know, good luck"?
Oh, OK, KRM = Keith Rupert Murdoch.
I work for the bugger and I've never seen that acronym before, ever.

TAG in Dominican Republic
This group of students is one of the University's TAG teams, or Trevecca Around the Globe. TAG trips are coordinated by the University and allow students to serve globally. These trips, originally labeled CAUSE, are a University tradition that dates back decades.
Sponsors Dusty Knotts, associate professor of education, and her husband Wayne will be serving along with nine students as part of the Dominican Republic TAG team. The team left early Saturday, March 3 and will return on Saturday, March 10. While in the Dominican, they will be working at a VBS with 200 children, showing the Jesus Film, and repairing the church with paint and new windows.
This trip is one of three opportunities that the University has offered within the 2006-2007 school year for students to be involved in missions with a TAG team. A fall break trip, held October 6-10, took a team of 23 students and three sponsors to Bayou LaBatre, Ala. to minister to those whose lives had been affected by Hurricane Katrina. They spent their time painting and repairing the home of an elderly widow, fixing up a children's park in the bayou area, and completing a number of projects in the church where they stayed.
The University is also planning a summer break trip to Gdansk, Poland, to be held May 7-18. In Poland, the TAG team will be involved with Upward Bound, a community outreach basketball program, where they will teach English classes and share the gospel with local university students.

MoMA Store and Muji
Museum stores aren't top of mind when it comes to shopping for kitchenware, but don't forget about the MoMA store, the retail arm of the famous New York modern art museum. The store charges itself to help us find "design for living" and they do a pretty good job of it.
The best find for cooks in the MoMA Store doen't come from their kitchen section. Instead, look for their special department for Muji, the Japaneese "no logo" company.
Muji makeup boxes can be used to organize kitchen cabinets into sections, as the October issue of Real Simple explained.
For example, I used a small Muji makeup box stacked on top of a large one to keep my baking supplies together. Now the vanilla extract and lemon flavoring can't get lost behind the cereal boxes and the baking powder and baking soda can't get seperated anymore. The clean design, reasonable price and neutral color of the Muji collection make it fit for kitchen duty. Muji sells a true kitchen line in the UK; let's hope they bring it here.
In the kitchen and tabletop section, there are some stand out design statements. Check out the Happy Spoons. They are designed to hold an individual slurp of an amuse-bouche. Serving these tiny treats before dinner is a new trend for home cooks and these spoons seem like a fun way to get in on the game.
The new Eva Zeisel tea kettle could hold its own in the Apartment Therapy teakettle search. The adorable yet iconic Hug salt and pepper shakers make an iresistable gift.
You wouldn't be able to stock an entire kitchen at the MoMA store. Some of their items push high design, but don't make much sense, like the olive plate/game. Still, check MoMA out for individual items to pep up your pantry.
The MoMA store has two locations: Soho and a shop across the street from the museum on West 53rd Street, but to avoid the crowds and make sure you find all the kitchen items, you might be better off to shop the website. Don't forget to dig around the sale section.

Ridiculously expensive. I have been there a couple of times.
Muji has been promising to open a full store in New York for going on 3 years... but until they do, it's on my list of places I have to go every time I'm in London. We have Muji pillowcases, I am in love with the Muji pens, D loves his Muji t-shirts, and the kitchen stuff is all pretty great (especially the bamboo chopsticks).
I used to get Alessi stuff (which makes great gifts) at the MoMA store before they opened their own shop in Soho. Does MoMA still carry any of their products?

That's great for leveling, but what do you do when you hit level cap, and the changes start to be gear related.
Because as you move past tiers tanks and dps gear for different things. You've got your tanks grabbing every piece of survivability gear and your DPS grabbing gear to up their numbers. That's the whole point of vengeance. Because DPSers numbers grow thanks to their ever increasing main stats, while Tanks numbers only grow because their Str/Agi slowly increases as they get higher iLVL gear. That's why my tank's dps has only about doubled from 346 blues (from about 6k to 12k) while my DPS numbers have quadrupled or quintupled (from 8-10k to 40k).
So you can't just make it a flat percentage rate, because if you do, either tanks will start a tier outpacing dps, or they'll end a tier far behind.

"We passionately believe that Windows 8 will change things," explained Krishnan during a 45-minute chat last week. "What I mean by that is a couple of things. One is the definition of what we call a device, which in our standard jargon means a phone or a tablet in a specific form factor, will change. And how people use them will change. With that will come a redefinition of what we consider to be the addressable market when we discuss 'applications and devices'. This creates the largest application marketplace opportunity to date in terms of addressable users, reach and monetization per application."

More than 1,200 people have died as the deadliest ever outbreak of Ebola takes hold in West Africa, but despite information campaigns, fear is spreading even more quickly than the virus itself.
This week some Ebola patients in Liberia ran away when the health care facility they were being treated at was attacked by rioters frightened of the disease.
As medical staff and authorities battle to contain Ebola, are rumors and superstition making the situation more difficult?
Are myths making the Ebola outbreak worse?
"Absolutely," says CNN's Nima Elbagir, adding that the Liberia clinic attack is just one sign of spiraling fear about the disease, which means that those who become sick are terrified of seeking help.
The World Health Organization says the "scale, duration, and lethality of the Ebola outbreak have generated a high level of public anxiety" over the virus.
"People worry that they will be ostracized by their community if they admit that they are ill or that their loved ones appear to have died of Ebola, so they delay reporting the symptoms, and we've heard anecdotes about secret burials," Elbagir explains.
A lack of understanding about what causes Ebola and how it is passed on means the region is fertile ground for speculation and mistaken beliefs.
And according to the WHO, the already difficult conditions are also being made tougher by public misunderstanding caused by "rumors on social media claiming that certain products or practices can prevent or cure Ebola virus disease."
What sort of myths and rumors are involved?
The WHO reports that at least two people died in Nigeria as a result of drinking salt water, after stories circulated that doing so would protect against Ebola.
Other supposed "cures" for the disease include raw onions, coffee, condensed milk and holy water.
While there are high hopes for experimental medicines and vaccines, the WHO points out there is, as yet, no known cure. "Decades of scientific research have failed to find a curative or preventive agent of proven safety and effectiveness in humans," it says.
The organization has warned against paying heed to any old wives' tales about potential treatments:
"A lot of rumours on social media claiming certain products, practices can prevent or cure #Ebola. They are false, their use can be dangerous," it tweeted Tuesday.
Earlier this year, at the start of the outbreak, a team from Medecins Sans Frontieres had to stop working in one isolation ward in Guinea because local residents mistakenly believed they had brought the virus with them.
It's a common misconception which makes the work of medical staff harder than it already is, MSF's Dr. Marc Forget told CNN: "(When we decontaminate houses) they think we are spreading the disease, so some villages just shut down their access, they put trees on the roads."
He says groups from MSF, the Red Cross and the Ministry of Health have also been pelted with rocks as they try to reach Ebola-hit areas.
Elbagir says the region's recent history of bloody civil war also feeds the rumor mill, with some claiming that the fact the army has been deployed to stop people dumping bodies in the streets is a sign the government is deliberately infecting people in order to have an excuse to enforce martial law.
Why are they proving so hard to dispel?
According to Nima Elbagir, widespread suspicion of authority, coupled with a lack of basic infrastructure mean that educating people about how to avoid infection is extremely difficult.
"These are very remote places in countries still bearing the scars of war (in Liberia and Sierra Leone) -- people are already traumatized and there is a lot of distrust to be overcome: when the government says something, people don't necessarily believe it," she says.
"There aren't enough doctors and health care workers -- people just aren't used to seeing them in their communities, and so they aren't the figures of authority that they are elsewhere."
Elbagir said the practice of quarantining whole areas "almost like the plague villages of the Middle Ages," had also led to anger and mistrust as entire communities were cut off from vital supplies. "People say 'We're going to die of hunger before we die of Ebola!'" she said.
The World Food Programme says it is working to "provide food assistance to around one million people living in restricted access areas in the three affected countries" in an attempt to "stabilize affected communities by limiting unnecessary movement and enabling them to cope with lost livelihoods."

The intriguing cross-pollination of rap and kung-fu continues with Cradle 2 the Grave, co-starring high-profile rapper DMX and Hong Kong superstar Jet Li. Master thief Fait (DMX) hits a diamond exhange but comes away with a bag of black gems of mysterious origin. When a crime kingpin steals the gems from Fait, an international arms dealer kidnaps Fait's beloved daughter--and Fait can only get her back with the help of Su (Li), a Taiwanese intelligence agent tracking the gems himself. A summary of the plot doesn't do Cradle 2 the Grave justice; while the basic story elements suggest a dozen generic action flicks, the cast (including Anthony Anderson, Gabrielle Union, and Kelly Hu) has genuine charisma and the movie layers action on top of action to strong effect. All in all, a much more engaging thrill ride than you'd expect. --Bret Fetzer

Jan. 6, 2011 -- Men diagnosed with prostate cancer may be able to reduce their risk of death not just from prostate cancer but from any cause by exercising vigorously for at least three hours per week, new research indicates.
A study performed by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health and the University of California-San Francisco examined the records of 2,705 men who had been diagnosed with nonmetastatic prostate cancer over an 18-year period in a project known as the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study. The men in the study reported the time they spent exercising on a weekly basis. This included running, bicycling, walking, swimming, other sports, and even outdoor work.
Non-vigorous and vigorous activity proved beneficial for overall survival, the study says.
Men who walked more than 90 minutes per week at a normal to brisk pace had a 46% lower risk of dying from any cause compared to men who walked less than 90 minutes per week.
Men who reported vigorous activity for at least three hours per week had a 61% lower risk of a prostate cancer-specific death, compared with men who exercised for less than an hour per week.
"Our results suggest that men can reduce their risk of prostate cancer progression after a diagnosis of prostate cancer by adding physical activity to their daily routine," study author Stacey Kenfield of Harvard says in a news release. "This is good news for men living with prostate cancer who wonder what lifestyle practices to follow to improve cancer survival."
She says the researchers "observed benefits at very attainable levels of activity" and that the study suggests that men with prostate cancer "should do some physical activity for their overall health, even if it is a small amount, such as 15 minutes of activity per day of walking, jogging, biking, or gardening."
She says, however, that "doing vigorous activity for three or more hours per week may be especially beneficial for prostate cancer, as well as overall health."
The results are significant because prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men in the United States. Although more than 80% of prostate cancer patients are diagnosed with localized disease, the relative 10-year survival rate is 93% for all stages combined.
More than 2 million men in the U.S. are prostate cancer survivors.
"We observed a significant risk reduction for prostate cancer mortality with increasing vigorous activity," the authors write.
They say more research is needed to determine which exercise regimens are best for men with prostate cancer.
The study is published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

His choice for no contact
Hi, I have two children who are struggling with their father not doing anything about contact with them.
I left suddenly after the DV escalated to a dangerous level and had no contact for three years. I ensured he had our address and didnt change mobile but he didnt contact me. He has said to others that as I was the one that left with the children I chose for him not to have contact.
There is a family party (His side) coming up that my children have been invited to and have a role in. I insisted that they had to have contact with him before we agreed to go.
He made contact (having been told to by his family) and we met awkwardly in a cafe, he was 'superdad' with presents etc and girls were thrilled.
We agreed to a weekly phone call and to email contact. This was 'fine' (obviously my stress levels weren't fine) for five weeks at which point he stopped all contact. My oldest actually emailed him to ask whats wrong?
I have written letters, sent post, and phoned (he ignores my calls)
How, what words do i use to explain to my children that he is an unreliable, selfish *****************************
without actually saying it.
And how do i help my daughters cope with the impact of that rejection.
Hello neggiem01,
Good to meet you. What a horrible position to find yourself in.
I think the important thing is to continue to be there to hear your daughters, rather than tell them all the expletives you believe their father to be. Our relationship expert might be the person to help you further with thinking about what to say to them.
You say your relationship with your ex was a violent one. Are you aware of the Freedom Programme? Lots of One Space members who have emerged from abusive relationships have said how useful it was for them.
Let us know how things progress for you.
Hi Mary,
thankyou for such a quick response, I have sent off my request to the expert but am just awaiting a response.
I've been on a parenting course and had a bit of counselling regards my ex.
He was more emotionally violent until the last week when it escalated into physical. thats the point that I left.
I do make a point of never using expletives and badmouthing father, either in front of girls or when in same building. And i don't allow anyone else to either.
I can find books at the library about staying with two parents, being a suitcase kid, only seeing yr dad at weekends, or who sadly have died but I don't know of any books for my daughters about those who have simply gone off the radar.
I know from the reading I have done that this can be very bad for childrens self perception and confidence but Im unsure of tactics and strategies to overcome this.
Anyone know of any?
Hi there,
it is so hard isn't it, and you so want to take the rejection away that the children must be feeling.
Unfortunately, you can't make your ex see the girls. I had the same with my first husband who disappeared sporadically and eventually completely. Especially No3 son blames himself for that because he says he called him by my second husband's name by mistake.
All that I have been able to do is not change my number (I've not even got an address for him!) and reassure the children lots and lots and lots. I've told them that he definitely does love them, but that he finds it really hard to see them and probably doesn't know how to approach the situation.
I am so cross at him for letting them down so much - we had so many tears when he'd not turn up as arranged.
So I am doing everything I can to build their self-esteem (although there are some issues there) and make sure they know I love them and that will not change and I am the stable point in their lives.
Hi neggiem01, and welcome to One Space
I am sorry to hear that your ex has put you in this situation, Hopeful and Mary have gave you some great suggestions on how to deal with your girls.
Our relationship expert will give you some great advice on how to go about dealing with your ex's sporadic contact, so i thought that i would focus on techniques for raising self esteem etc.
I think that continously reasurring them, that you love them, and will be there for them, is a great start, it is good to hear that you don't badmouth their father or allow others to, as this will also help, with their self esteem.
Praising them as often as you can, spend time individually with each child telling them about things that are special about them, share stories about yourself aswell as positive things about their father, as they will identify themself with there dad and anything negative may be taken on board as something negative about themself.
Generally just being a listening ear, and empathising with them about how they feel and helping them to come up with way's to deal with these feelings, this could be to write how they feel in a letter or it could be a physical activity.
Have your girls had any counselling? are your girls able to see their dad's family?
Thankyou again for all your support, I have had some contact with the relationship expert already (very speedy)
The girls had some support when we first left from Nextlink (the DV aid organisation) but had seemed to be settled, so as funding was tight it stopped. I has asked if they can see the same person again, but we have moved since then and we're not allowed to because funding is based on postcode. I am going to go and see myine and the girls' doctor and put in a request for some counselling, but my request was on a waiting list or 18 months and then i got a group counselling session where you're not meant to talk and where they tell you to meditate and make sure you get lots of sleep and time spent on you etc
Don't think they know many single parents. I do try to get me time but I've started a business because of the whole no money/local housing allowance cuts/youngest over 7/ government debacle and I'm putting as much effort as possible into making that work.
They do have contact with ex's family which is great, but they ask their cousins and Auntie each time
"do you think Daddy is less cross with us now" and even after reassurance that he was/is not cross with them, they nod but you can see they don't believe you.
I think I will push the writing idea again, as I find it helpful. I'll also put some more effort into individual time.
Thankyou again
Hi neggiem01
I know what your saying about the group counselling, it would seem that this is a stratergy to try and bring down the waiting lists for counselling, i have come across many people that were given this option, some found it useful others did not, i think that when you have been in an abusive relationship you probably need to talk through the issues you have.
What line of work are you in?
Hello again neggiem01,
Glad the relationship expert got back to you so promptly. If you can encourage your daughters to write what they're feeling down it just might help them feel they've 'got it off their chests'.
Depending on which area of the country you're in, Relate are now offering free counselling for 5 to 25 year olds, which may be worth pursuing (either now or at some later point). The link is here.
With regard to yourself; if you wanted further counselling, there may well be a voluntary service who could see you for a small contribution. Might be worth having a Google (other search engines are available) to see what's in your area.
All the best,

The state had nearly two years of artificially low foreclosure activity before the past year of elevated numbers, Blomquist said. He thinks two years of increased foreclosures will balance out the previous period. One year down, he said, another to go.
Mark Kaufman, Maryland's commissioner of financial regulation, also said some lenders have been slow to move on foreclosure actions. Bank of America, in particular, he said, has a backlog of severely delinquent loans that substantially outweighs its market share. The bank did not respond to requests for comment.
The General Assembly's consumer protections have helped to keep people in their homes, proponents contend.

"Foreclosure mediations really have given struggling homeowners at least a small shed of control over the foreclosure action," Jarvis said.
According to data from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a division of the U.S. Treasury Department, 30 percent more Maryland borrowers received loan modifications in the past 21/2 years than borrowers in Virginia, even though Maryland's mortgage market is one-third smaller. That translated to nearly 11,000 more homeowners aided in Maryland.
By the end of the first quarter of this year, Maryland borrowers had received $1.3 billion in relief from mortgage servicers through the national mortgage settlement, mainly in the form of lien forgiveness or short sale approval.
Virginia consumers have received just $933 million in relief from the settlement, which resolved accusations by 49 states' attorneys general and the Justice Department that the five largest mortgage servicers in the United States engaged in abusive servicing and foreclosure practices, including robo-signing.
The difference, experts say, is largely due to the difference in the state's foreclosure laws and the availability of assistance resources.
"Our processes and procedures have saved literally thousands of homeowners from going into foreclosure, and we feel good about that," Skinner said.
Skinner also notes that short-term delinquencies are down, an early indicator that the number of property owners falling behind on payments is on the wane.
Moreover, Skinner and Kaufman agree, banks are more likely to move through foreclosures as the market improves. Lenders know they can get a better price now, Skinner said.
"As the market firms, it's an easier decision to move what's been sitting on the sidelines," Kaufman said.
The proportion of distressed sales is down in nearly every part of the state, said Vladimir Kats, a real estate agent with the Kats & Associates team at Keller Williams Realty Baltimore who specializes in short sales.
"It's the right policy with a short-term perspective in mind, without a doubt," Kats said of Maryland's revised foreclosure process. Whether it will have the best long-term outcomes is unclear, he said.
"It does help one homeowner. Mediation does help. ... I've seen credit histories saved," he said. "Does it help the entire state of Maryland over two decades? That's a question that I just can't answer."

Shares of China's YY Inc. Rise in U.S. Trading Debut
®Copyright MediaCorp
Social-media platform YY got a warm reception in its trading debut overnight.
It represents a vote of confidence for Chinese companies looking to list in the US.
YY's American depositary shares opened flat on the Nasdaq but soon surged higher, closing up nearly 8 percent to $11.31.
Chief Executive David Xueling Li said that rather than to list in Hong Kong or Singapore, YY tapped the Nasdaq because the company's platform has what he calls "global implications".
He adds this will help them go into broader markets.
