Two researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have received Director's Awards from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) High Risk-High Reward research program. The awards, funded by the NIH Common Fund, are intended to support scientists proposing highly innovative approaches to major contemporary challenges in biomedical research.
During the past century, programmable technologies evolved from spinning gears and vacuum tubes to transistors and microchips. Now, a group of Caltech researchers and their colleagues at the University of Washington, Harvard University, and UC San Francisco are exploring how biologically important molecules—like DNA, RNA, and proteins—could be the next generation of programmable devices.
When certain cells in our bodies are missing or nonfunctional, the only current options are to treat the symptoms with drugs or try to acquire transplants. But what if cells in our own bodies could be transformed to take on the missing functions? What if we could convert cells from other organs to function as neurons after a stroke; cardiomyocytes to address heart disease; gland cells to address endocrine diseases, or cartilaginous cells to address joint deterioration?

After TGMH: Poll1 Reviews
TGMH will still be going on.
The stories:
Baby, I'm Not Your Enemy: The year is 3014, and sexual slavery has been legalized. Barry Stock is a rich man, who hasn't found love yet, and needs a way to take care of his "needs." Brad Walst is recently kidnapped 18-year-old who is up for sale, and doesn't like it. Barry didn't get what he was expecting, and neither did Brad.
There would be a LOT of kinky smut in this one.
Pairing: Brad Walst/Barry Stock (Brarry? Stalst? Walck? Brock? Barlst? I dunno...)
The Light Of Day: Adam Gontier is a 19-year-old Oxycontin addict and alcoholic, Brad Walst is a 1,000 year old vampire who was turned when he was 20. When Brad finds Adam drunk and stoned one night, he makes a decision that even he himself doesn't understand. Can Brad help Adam get clean? One thing's for sure, neither of them expected to fall in love.
Pairing: Brad Walst/Adam Gontier (Bradam)
Portal For Your World: The members of Three Days Grace never expected to wake up and be told that they have to portal their way to freedom. (Basically Portal meets Three Days Grace)
NO PAIRING!! Except for, like, the occasional reference to one of the wives... Which doesn't count.
On The Sides of My Wings: Adam Gontier is the teenage son of an incubus and an angel. He's looked down on by the world as one of the "forbidden" races, a child born to parents that, by law, are not to have had a sexual relationship. These mixed races are look upon as taboo. When he befriends Brad, the son of the angel Gabriel, and Neil, a demon with a haunting past, who don't get along, he has to choose, which friend does he love the most? And who is the mysterious Blood Wolf (Vampire/Werewolf mix, also one of the "forbidden" races) who tends to follow him? Can these teenagers ever just get past their differences?
Pairing: Adam Gontier/Brad Walst, Adam Gontier/Neil Sanderson, AND Adam Gontier/Barry Stock (Adam is going to have to choose.)
Take your pick on which I do first.

Conscious perception is substantially overestimated when standard measurement techniques are used. That overestimation has contributed to the controversial nature of studies of unconscious perception. I employed a process-dissociation procedure (Jacoby, 1991) for separately estimating the contribution of conscious and unconscious perception to performance of a stem-completion task. Unambiguous evidence for unconscious perception was obtained in seven experiments. Debner and Jacoby (1994, Experiment 1) showed that decreasing the duration of a briefly presented word diminished the contribution of both conscious and unconscious perception. In Experiments 2, 3 and 4, Debner and Jacoby found that dividing attention reduced the contribution of conscious perception while leaving that of unconscious perception unchanged. Debner (submitted) used the same stem-completion task to show that estimates of unconscious perception could also be affected. In one set of experiments (Experiments 1a and 1b), increasing the interstimulus interval between the briefly presented word and the test of stem completion decreased the contribution of unconscious perception to performance but left that of conscious perception intact. Experiment 2 revealed that a manipulation of visual similarity produced a similar process dissociation. Discussion focuses on the measurement of awareness, the relationship between perception and memory, and the possible episodic nature of conscious and unconscious perceptual processes.

I've got a good feeling about the World Series, but it's just not the same as 2004. Which I guess is a good thing, since I certainly shaved precious days off my life during that post-season.
Also, thanks for "Lost Downtown." Best song I've heard in years.

Keane Kids For Kids?
These iconic images of melancholy kids have been at the heart of at least two marital disputes. In the mid-80s Margaret Keane took her ex-husband Walter to court, where she successfully proved that she was actually the artist behind the ubiquitous big-eyed kids that had been her ex's claim to fame for preceding decades. Though much friendlier and non-litigious, my husband and I have our own little Keane dispute. He thinks they are depressing and creepy, I think they are adorable and sweet. I want them in our kids' rooms, but until we resolve this issue they have been relegated to storage.
I have always had an appetite for kitsch and a soft spot for Keane kids, buying my first in a New Orleans thrift shop when I was in high school. The one pictured above was purchased at Theatre Antiques in Minneapolis (RIP). When we first moved in together, my husband consented to hanging it in the hall bathroom and then avoided it entirely. Like the little girl in the image, it was cold rejected. A few other Keane kids hung in my office. Then we moved and had some more children and now I don't have an office. As we transition our daughters to their big girl beds we are doing some redecorating, and I think that the Keanes would be a great addition to their digs. Unsurprisingly, this has given rise to some creative differences with their dad.
A quick search here on Apartment Therapy turns up a few Keanes in tours, and a split between Keane lovers and those in the creepy/depressing camp. Where do you stand on Keane images? Would you hang one in your child's room?

I'm sure there are others but based on the one above, no. I don't want my son looking at a crying child. It seems eerie.
No way. This is the stuff of nightmares for little ones. She reminds me of the little girls from The Shining. There so much more uplifting and fun art to display. Maybe save it for your artsy teenager?
If the other prints that you have are like the one above - NOT FOR KIDS! Seriously, that picture is nightmare inducing! I might consider hanging one up in my child's room if it was in a wall gallery montage with other art, but I would never put it as the only piece in the room...
Creepy, creepy, creepy. Which isn't to say I couldn't see a place for it in my home but not a nursery.
How old are the kids? I can see this in a goth teen's room. But, totally depressing for a little kid.
So creepy and so sad, especially in a child's room. Back into storage, maybe permanently...
I have to side with your husband and the other 7 posters here... I can just see my little kids asking over and over: "Why is the little girl crying, Mama?"
Is your child old enough to really know what they like? My kids often surprise me with their observations. My three old asked why she was crying and I said, "I don't know. Why do you think?" His answer, "Isn't she funny? She's crying because she has no lollipops." So to him it's not sad or depressing just a funny picture. I say pull them out and put them in a group of other art you wouldn't mind being in their room and let them pick what they like.
What's adorable and sweet about them?
Another vote for creepy and depressing.
I would ask my kid if she wants it in her room. My 6 yr old would probably have a strong opinion on the subject. I don't normally run design choices by my child but if there's something possibly scary about the art then I'd check with her first. Having said that, I like the art. Kids aren't just happy all of the time - they feel lots of challenging emotions- and I don't think there's anything wrong with the art reflecting that. Plus, my daughter is into dark and creepy topics and toys and this art might be right up her alley.
My grandparents had a similar print in their house when I was growing up. It was indeed nightmare-inducing. I avoided that room entirely. If forced to walk through it I was often terrified and reduced to tears.
I personally LOVE Keane's artwork. I hung a similar doe-eyed painting in my 2 year old daughter's room (a ballerina by Maio) and it's perfect. I think some of Keane's paintings could totally hang in a child's room. Not all though. The series with pets could be appropriate.
In the creepy camp too. Makes me think of that : http://www.forteantimes.com/features/articles/1308/the_curse_of_the_crying_boy.html (I see that painting of the crying boy almost every week at garages sales and flea markets)
everyone is so protective now-a-days. Makes the kids soft!
No. They will spend their whole lives bombarded with negative images, I would make home the warm happy haven in that sea.
Why not ask the kids? I think they are creepy and depressing but I don't know if that precludes them from hanging in a kids room.
Depressing and creepy.
It's just seems so HoJo-ian,maybe clustered w/ some weeping clown portraits or pictures of sailboats...
NO! My mom put a picture of the hobo-clown Emmett Kelly in my room when I was little - nightmare city!!! The day I got free reign to re decorate, he was the first to go!! These TOTALLY remind me of that creepiness! *shutters*
Disturbing. They look like the characters from Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal.
TCHOUQUET that's a great article. I'm entirely superstitious about objects and this has fueled my paranoia.
How old are the kids? I'd ask them. Some kids are prone to be freaked out, some are unflappable.
Really, really, really creepy - I wouldn't hang that in a kids room or anywhere else in my house! There's enough sadness in the world; I prefer surrounding myself with happy or thoughtful art.
It's creepy because it's not sad in an abstract way. A lot of people associate dark colors with depressing feelings but that is more interpretive than this image, which clearly depicts a person crying. I wouldn't want this in my house at all, no matter where it was.
I love Keane kids and pets! I wanted to find some pieces for my daughter's room but my husband (and friends!) reacted like most of the commenters so far- with a strong NO! Maybe she will like them and choose them for her room herself one day!
I'm afraid I'm in the depressing and creepy camp. If you're daughters are over 2, though, I say ask them if they like it or want it in their room. Even little ones will give you some indication of whether they like something or not. It's their room, let them decide ;-)
Adorable? That child looks homeless and abandoned. Terribly terribly depressing!
It's not about being soft - as someone stated. Images could be interesting and challenging but do we want to live with things that make us uncomfortable in our sanctuaries? If so, why? Hells no - I would never hang this in my kids room! If my teen wanted it I wouldn't have a problem with it though.
What's wrong with you? YOU want them in your kids' rooms, but what about you KIDS? Did you think to ask THEM? Sheeesh...
creep city. yuck. i can see the artistic value in it, somewhat. ish. but it's not art for a kid's room. if you want something a little darker, yet still sweet try The Black Apple on etsy. we've got the bandits up in our play room and the dancing bear in our hallway. with none of the creepy dude-pretending-to-be-the-artist baggage.
When I was a child, I wouldn't have wanted that huge eyed little girl portrait peering at me in my dark bedroom at night..just saying.
I'm with your husband -- I've always found these creepy.
As for artistic value these are up there (or should I say down there) with Thomas Kincade stuff. (...and my first instinct was to us a word far less polite that stuff!)
I like Keane art well enough, but I don't think I'd put it in a kid's room either.
I dated a guy once whose mom had a lot of "crying kids" art in her house. They lived in London and apparently it was quite a fad in the late 60s.
I found it creepy as...heck. It goes beyond kitschy straight into ugh. Why would anyone want teary eyed children on their walls?
(That said, it explained a lot in hindsight about why that relationship didn't work out so well, ha!)
Creepy. Just because it's a painting of a child doesn't mean that children are the intended audience.
She painted the crying children because she was completely miserable in her own life. That seems like a bad energy for a kids room. If you like her style, why not purchase one of her newer "happy" paintings? I just looked at her site and there are a ton that seem more appropriate for a child's room.
Actually, Ms. Keane changed religions later on in life, and became a much happier person; thus, if you look a little, you can find those same big eyes kids and animals but they are much less depressing and kid friendly. I think it'd be a worthwhile compromise.
sell them
Children of the Corn get thee hence!
I used to draw those Keane kiddies when I was a child. Now when I see them they make my skin crawl.
As a hypnotist, I would never put that kind of image in a small child's living space. It'll go straight into their little unconscious minds. Better to have an image that inspires resourcefulness, not an image of despair to root deep down in their psyches.
Sorry, but creepy. Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer tries to build a clown bed for little Bart but obviously turns looking like a killer klown. In the end Bart was rocking back and forth hugging his knees and saying over and over "can't sleep, clown will eat me"
love it, do it. haters gunna hate.
Maybe if i was related to the Adam's Family. I vote creepy.
Keanes later work is much happier, maybe look for her newer work, she still paints.
I think you should ask the kids. My aunt had a few of these when I was a kid, and I liked them. Your kids might like them too.
I am always surprised by folks choosing to decorate their kids room. Let the kid decide. They have one room. You have a whole house (and office?).
At the very least ask the kid before you ask AT. Sheesh.
Your children may like them when they are older and ready for decor with more of an edge-then I bet they will much more able to interpret the art as art. Save them for another day.
I cannot stop laughing. The idea of putting this image in your child's room. The term "adorable" really got me going, and reading the comments I almost wet my pants. A painted titled "Rejected" !!! oh my god.
Is this a joke?
There's some kitsch that's fun and works in a kid's room, and there's some that doesn't...
This most emphatically doesn't.
I'd ask first. Even if they're young they will have an opinion. I'm a fan of the cats but even they are kinda depressing. I sold all the ones I had in my 20's.
Creepy. Depressing.
Keith Haring
People of the world
-- especially this one.
Shoot. Now I want to buy that last one.
I used to have a lot of occult artwork up on my walls. Now I have small children. The dark art is in storage. Maybe I'd put it up if I had my own space.
Why, hello there, Uncanny Valley Denizen.
Yeah...ask your kids. I personally think these are creep-tastic. They remind me of dolls and dolls pretty much give me the heeby-jeebies. I would NOT want this in my space at all.
My 8 year old daughter just said that she actually likes that it's creepy, but no way would she want it hanging in her room! (too sad!)
so creepy
I'd ask the kids what they thought. If the kids were depressed or scared of them- no way. Just a thought.
Hang it over the toilet in you master bath. Hang it behind the door in your own closet. Really, do you need to ask whether to inflict it on your young kids? If it hadn't been moody, creepy when you first saw it, you would have passed. Wait til your girls are pre teen/ teens and have a crisis every twenty minutes; THEN you can pull the Keane out as a role model.
I wish I could unsee it.
It's Precious Moments for the depressive set.
I think there are plenty of great Keane paintings you could hang in a kid's room. The pictured example is pretty extreme. I would not hang that one in my kid's room.
I would have absolutely hated to have any Keane artwork in my room as child - I find them incredibly unsettling.
I've never been a fan, but I don't think having one in a kid's room is going to cause the level of mental trauma that many are suggesting here.
The room will look better without it!
Ooh, definitely. Do this. Step 2, the Tooth Fairy Years, can feature Edward Gorey.
By middle school, they should be all set for the full H.R. Giger.
You can round it out with some Bosch for that "pop" of color.
THATKRIS: I think I love you!
I don't care for them, and they're awfully depressing for a child's room. I disliked them years ago, and still do.
If your daughters are old enough for big girl beds, they're old enough to tell you whether or not they want your art in their rooms.
I have an almost 3 year old nephew who is obsessed with zombies....we think he got it from his older brother who is 6 and claims that his step dad (which he doesn't have) is Dracula and his invisible sister is also a vampire and her name is Sebella. We watched the movie "Coraline" with the older one when he was 4, I was thoroughly creeped out by the intro and he was patting my leg saying "it's not creepy aunty, it's not creepy."
Point being, although I think the picture is creepy and weird, your children may not. Ask them and see what they say, and if they're too young for that...just wait until they are older, you don't want to be the parent that unknowingly scars your child for life. lol.
When I was little, my best friend had one of these in her room. That thing make me completely HEARTSICK! And made me scared at night that whatever happened to that little girl might happen to ME! When you're that little, images and words go straight to the core, not a lot of filters that we adults have that tell us something is "kitsch" or somehow stylishly vintagely ironically whatever. Let THEM pick something they really love to look at!
ps: I saw that painting when I was FOUR YEARS OLD. I'm 44 and still remember in fine detail how sad it made me. THAT's why these are not good images for a little kid to be looking at.
I wouldn't inflict it on my child. If you love it, put it in your personal space. This does NOT mean the master bedroom.
Another no vote. Like 1952ranch said, home should be a warm, comforting place for children.
This gives me the heebie-jeebies!
My sibs and I had Keane art when we were kids in the '60s and we weren't creeped out or depressed by the pieces. Since I haven't seen the pictures in many years, I did a search and found them under Walter Keane's name. The girls, in particular, weren't really happy looking, more wistful (one is a girl w/ balloons and the other a girl on the steps of Chinatown somewhere). And I always loved the richness of the colors. But I have to say, the one you pictured is exceptionally sad. I wouldn't use it in a child's room (though maybe in another part of the house as part of a gallery of art). And, as others have suggested, if your girls are old enough for big-girl rooms, they are old enough to have input on the kind of art that appeals to them.
I think you need to have your very own place in the house to hang stuff you like. Childrenshould be able te create their own space, too. I made a big painting of bunnies flying in the sky with balloons but my son liked decals with happy sheep and parachutes better. So here we go, happy sheep. The bunnies ended on my wall in my workshop were they are put to work as reference for my next book. And I think it's ok.
She's crying because.......
You won't eat green beans, and she's starving.
You left your clothes on the floor, again.
The tooth fairy isn't going to leave you any money.
You wet the bed.
You told a LIE.
You didn't share your toys.
There's no Santa.
Her mommy didn't come home.
If you do decide to use it, you might want to get some dogs playing cards to go with it. Why do you want your child's first experience with wall decoration to be anti-art?
No no no no and no.
Not in a kid's room, not in an adult's room, not in any home I'll own or place I'll ever frequent.
Keane paintings are the creepiest things ever.
Not fun-creepy like Gorey or Burton, just bad-ugly-disturbing creepy.
I think it depends on the kids; I'd ask them. This artwork wouldn't have creeped me out, yet porcelain dolls scared the shizzit out of me as a kid. Most parents think those are peachy keen, but they did NOT work for me...
how about just let the child pick out what she wants? or better yet, use the child's art.
@OhJodi - that made me laugh out loud.
The picture? Creeptastic. And yes, the worst kind of anti-art.
Oh wow! I just checked out the Black Apple etsy shop that someone mentioned upthread - LOVE!!
so incredibly sad...no no no. i would be scared this could negatively impact a child...especially the "rejection" theme
@RYTTU3K you almost made me spit out my coffee laughing.
First, I agree that your kids should decide whether or not they like the thing as much as you do. If it's for you, not them, put it where you can see it, not them.
Second, I have always despised the waif paintings. Not because they are creepy, although I guess they are if I think about it, but because to me they are kitsch that is just ugly and cheap looking. (Sorry, Keane fans, but there you are!) So I'd NEVER have one, not an original, not signed, not for anything!!!
I personally love it but would never hang it in my child's room even if he/ she loved it. That being said, my 10 yr old daughter loves everything creepy yet I doubt she would want that hanging in her room. Most children I know like the creepy stuff in moderation. If you love it, hang it somewhere else in the house where you can appreciate it.
I'd have to agree with your husband and most of the other commenters--creepy and depressing, and bad feng shui to have something like that in a kids room.
If you like it, put it in YOUR bedroom. But that is not kid friendly art. A bedroom is a place to sleep and feel safe. Why in the world would you put something in a bedroom that has a good chance of taking that away from a child?
I grew up with a crying Keane above my bed. Even though I was a super emotional, easily freaked out kid, that painting never bothered me. I just loved to stare at. Now my daughter has a similar Keane above her bed, it is a small one of a little serious girl holding a poodle (she is not crying, just serious).
So far my daughter has never mentioned her painting, but if I ever think she doesn't like, I'll take it down.
I'm a goth. I wear black clothing most of the time. i'm known to wear a lot of silver and dye my hair bright red. I've even pointed my fingernails on occasion, and I get off putting in fangs made of dental material at Halloween and scaring small children. I even make bat-shaped gingerbread cookies for Christmas. And you know what?
That painting is creepy, and I wish I had some brain bleach right now, so I could forget I saw it.
Those Keane paintings weirded me out as a child, and they seem even more sinister now. Unless you want your kid to grow up to be a serial killer, don't put that stuff up in your house.
APPARENTLY there is a movie coming out about them: http://www.artinfo.com/news/story/757414/tim-burtons-%E2%80%9Cbig-eyes%E2%80%9D-to-star-reese-witherspoon-as-cheated-artist-margaret-keane
I think they're soul-staringly terrifying. But when asked how it makes her feel, my four-year-old said "happy!" To each their own I guess, and that includes children. Ask yours!
Also, while you have the right to like anything you want, why not put some non-kitschy art in your kids' room? I'd actually feel more comfortable putting a Bosch paining in a kid's room than the painting above, because Bosch is so complex and weirdly beautiful. Or Gorey print. Or any number of funny/creepy/cute prints. But this one isn't funny or cute. It's just creepy, and on the level of (as someone else mentioned) dogs playing cards or sad clowns on velvet (I actually had one of those in my room as a kid, and I couldn't wait to get rid of it).
I just made the mistake of looking up 'Keane paintings'. I saw some of her newer stuff. It looks 'happier', but it's still disturbing and creepy. I think I'm going to go and slit my wrists now.
I decorated my son's room with National Geographic maps I bought for pennies at garage sales, and dime store (that was in they days before Dollar Stores :) prints of classic "ships at sea" art. As it turned out, my son joined the Navy, became a cartographer, and loves to sail, but honestly---I was just trying to cover up the crummy wood paneling!
I agree with those who have advised you to ask your kids what they want. If they love it, that, to me, overrides your husbands objection. But, on the contrary, if it creep them out or they don't like it in any way, that should also override your design ideas as well. I love it and would have loved it in my room when I was young. I probably wouldn't put it in a very small child's room unless it was on a gallery wall with more positive images surrounding it (not a bad idea even if it ends up in a older child's room). I don't think it is creepy or depressing, nor do I think it would be psychologically harmful in any way. In contrast, I think it is healthy for kids to know that it's okay to be sad and to cry sometimes. I definitely wouldn't want it to be the only artwork in the room, however. You'll want to balance it out with something a little more cheerful.
You've said what you think. You've said what your husband thinks. You've asked AT what we think.
It seems like the only ones you haven't asked are the ones who will be most impacted by the decision. =^/
Don't your kids get a say what goes in their rooms?
From the first time we saw them in 1962 at a Madison Avenue gallery in NYC, my best friend and I were repelled by the Keane paintings. To us, both 11th graders, they were the epitome of gimmickry and phoniness. We could hardly believe that they were actually being sold as art in New York City. The gallery also contained a bunch of works in progress, white canvasses with only the eyes painted in - the rest of the canvas thin outlines in charcoal. We made fun of them for years and even now at 66 the mention of Keane paintings brings on the laughs. For art's sake alone, I would say nix!
The vote seems to be nearly unanimous, but don't underestimate the power of saying "Oh, those people just don't understand how adorable these paintings are" and not letting your husband know the public overwhelmingly sides with him.
I've never been a fan of AT's fetish for hanging empty picture frames, but in this case I'll make an exception.
Bad art. Bad idea.
So sad. I wouldn't want to stare at it if I were a child. I don't like it now. It looks like a 'save the children' ad done in oil. Why not let the child choose what should hang in their space?
Creepy indeed, and those eyes remind me of Bratz dolls.
I agree, ask the kids. I was always putting up happy boy type stuff in my son's room and one day he came across a poster that he just had to have (he was 9). Dali's Metamorphosis of Narcissus! He loved it and still has it 15 years later I grew up with Keane's in my room but they were the happier Mod ones. Give them a chance, they might surprise you.
Creepy, ugly, depressing.
Hey, that would look good next to the black velvet Elvis or matador paintings! Maybe with the paint by number masterpieces. Never did see the appeal of the big-eye stuff, sad or not, but this sad stuff is just, well, sad.
this is not art, it is disneyesque psychoporn.! Your husband must be a ling suffering man!
I wouldn't want to wake up and see those eyes looking at me. I am creeped out by dolls and the like anyway.
looks like an "artistic" representation of my childhood. very disturbing.
From an art historian's perspective, they are both creepy and pretty tacky.
I wouldn't put them in a child's room but that is because I believe that children over the age of 5 should have the larger input into decorating their room. I am always surprised by the mom's who send their 11 year old off to school and then begin the renovation/redecoration of that child's room. My mother insisted on decorating my room until I went to college. What I would do, were I in your position, is this. You might have a place where you store things? I would simply put the paintings or prints there and then let the children choose a certain number of things to go into their room. If they choose the paintings, fine. If they don't then it will be just as fine. But it needs to be their choice without being influenced by either parent and if they disagree on anything then they need to work it out on their own or with a non-related arbitator.
Children and kitsch...do they really go together?
If you must have kitsch for your kids, what about dogs playing poker? I loved those when I was a kid.
But knowingly exposing your children to depressing nightmarish vision just because you have a thing for kitsch....not really on board with that idea.
I side with the HELL NO vote. Definately creepy & depressing. I would not want that picture of a rejected child anywhere near my children.
However, if the kids want them, then hang them. But maybe take them down for sleepovers or no kid is ever going to have a slumber party at your place ever again.
Have none of you privileged people's kids gone through a major trauma or loss? Really, shielding them from negative images? Not letting them see that sadness exists? My kid would be really draw to this sort of reflection of how she feels quite a bit of the time.
Awful. Not because it's sad, because it's ugly. Really, really ugly. Tasteless. Terrible. Like Thomas Kinkaide forgot his Zoloft. The only thing that could make this wore would be printing it on an acrylic throw. Seriously, terrible.
I vote for letting the kids decide -- and if one votes to have the picture hanging, make sure BOTH of the girls want it. And you said you have several -- let them pick from all of them.
By the way, my mother has a couple of souvenir painting postcards from Paris of big-eyed kids riding bicycles with huge baguettes. Even on bikes they look like they're sporting shiners.
Weighing in a little bit late - but sorry I side with your husband. Hideous - creepy - ugly - yep I pretty much agree with all the haters. This would give an adult nightmares.

The answers to that question are in this book. Restoring America One County at a Time is an action manual for anyone concerned about liberty. But it's much more than just an action manual.

Game 30 (Warriors 103, Celtics 99): In Their Own WordsFiled under: In Their Own Words; Tagged as: Don Nelson
So the force was with us. . . . Let me put in a word for Monta, how well he's playing and would like to somehow get him considered to be an All-Star this year. He's playing as well as anybody in basketball right now and carrying a team every night, very difficult to do, and also has to guard tough opponents. So anyway, just a word there, if you would, please?

Transcribed from CSN Bay Area's broadcast, it's the Don Nelson Show. (Don't worry, it's short and to the point.)
Game 26 (Wizards 118, Warriors 109): In His Own Words, The Don Nelson EditionFiled under: In Their Own Words;

The Morning Report: The Don Nelson Show — in print!Filed under: In Their Own Words, The Morning Report; Tagged as: Anthony Randolph, Corey Maggette, Don Nelson, Monta Ellis
Since Don Nelson has generally eschewed the Bay Area print media in favor of his own radio show on the friendly confines of KNBR, his 15 minutes a week with Tom Tolbert and Ralph Barbieri have become a must-listen for Warriors fans.
Until now, that is. For those who would rather read it on the printed page, here's a transcript of Nelson's Thursday night appearance. (Those who wish to listen for themselves can head over here.)
– Geoff
RB: I see where you said Randolph is probably taller than anybody I've got on the team right now, and he's still growing. Maybe eventually center will be his position. I don't know. I thought we were struggling between a 3 and a 4, and now 5 comes into the picture, too?
DN: Well, 5's the easiest position to play. That's why I had Tolbert play there.
TT: Thanks, I appreciate that.
DN: The same shots you get against a 4 are more open against a 5. It's more clear cut. If you've got shooters around the court, your screen-and-roll game, you're going to be open in the paint. And if you have the ability that Randolph has — he's got good hands, he's got a really good hop and he's long, so there'll be some easy baskets there for him. I don't know where his future's going. I think it's really bright, but I think this is an opportunity. If you could ever be a center in this league — I mean, you know, that's the second-most-important position.
RB: Tom kept saying how he had to guard all these guys that were so much bigger and taller. He never talked about the (positive) attributes.
DN: Guarding's the problem, because there are some big bulky guys that you have to guard, and that's the problem, of course, when you're thin. But offensively, I think he can be a factor, and I hope that he kind of grows into it. Certainly, if he can play two positions for sure, it'll help. And eventually, he might even be able to play three. I don't know.
TT: I'm sure Nellie's thinking is, when he put me up against Ewing, I can hold him to at least 38.
DN: (Laughs.) Well, I think we beat them most of the time, didn't we?
TT: I think we did, absolutely. I tell you what, though. A lot of those centers I guarded had a lot of fun on the offensive end. They didn't enjoy it as much on the defensive end a whole hell of a lot.
Game 3, In Their Own WordsFiled under: In Their Own Words; Tagged as: Anthony Morrow, Don Nelson, Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson
DN: Well, it feels good to get our first win. Nothing's very easy. Down the stretch, when we had a lead, I thought the turnovers gave them a chance to get back in it. But we survived it, and I guess young teams are going to do that, so so be it. We lost the rebound game, the free throw game, but we won a few games. If you're going to be small, you're going to have to shoot a good percentage. Morrow helped that, that's for sure. 10-for-12 will help your shooting percentage. And I thought both our point guards passed the ball, moved the ball well. Monta was sensational tonight. I think that's a career-high 12 assists [one shy -- 13]. His shot wasn't even falling, and he still had a monster game, I thought. So that was good. They certainly had enough mismatches out there, they didn't know which one to go to, they had so many mismatches. But we prevailed and so know we've got our first win. That's good.
Q: Monta gave you a little bit of everything tonight?
DN: He did. I thought he played well with Steph (Curry) and then when I wanted to get Morrow in the game, so we made that change, and he picked right up at the point guard. I thought he called a good game and pushed the ball up and played — of course, there was a lot more room for him to maneuver tonight, because of the threats of the outside shots. That really helps both the roller and the ball-handler. So he took full advantage of that. Still hasn't made a jump shot. I can't remember a jump shot that he made but I'm sure he did. Going to the basket, some beautiful spin moves. Pretty well isolated (Ellis), the center had to help and then he was able to outmaneuver him. It really took a lot of their weak-side help away. It's been really crowded in there. I thought that helped open that game up.

Kym Rock's Fight Like A Girl National Program Coming To Colorado Springs, CO
Colorado Springs,CO - Diane Paulsen, a local Martial Arts business owner is on a mission to help the women and kids of our city and wants you to come out and learn how to Fight Like A Girl. You may not think that sounds very powerful, but it is. "Kym Rock's Fight Like A Girl" is a ten-year-proven program that teaches women and kids to think smarter and have the skills and awareness to keep themselves out of dangerous situations. Fight Like A Girl also trains women and girls to get away from an attacker, abuser or abductor - something we all need to know and practice.
There are 77 million victims of abuse every year in the United States and 1 in 3 women and children in our country become victims of violent abuse. Every day, over 2000 kids are abducted in the United States. Diane Paulsen is part of the Fight Like a Girl movement to stop the rampant violence in our city and Diane says, "This program is important! Fight Like A Girl not only teaches personal violence prevention, but has a fitness allure that brings women together to empower them in their safety and helps them protect their kids. We're bringing this fun, simple, effective program to you right here in Colorado Springs so we can make a difference together.") We are also in partnership with TESSA, a local organization whose mission it is to fight domestic and sexual violence.

My Short Poems
I wish I may,
I wish I might,
that if not today,
I'll die tonight.
People can go and call me dumb,
but I know someday my prince will come.
I've grown addicted and it's just too sad
'Cause you're the best friend that I've ever had
But you just left, you just disappeared
I'd do anything to have you here
I guess you were right
I should've seen you right there
But no, I didn't
No, I didn't even care
And now you've left me all caught up in tears
And since you left I've got my all my fears
One moment you're here,
The next you're gone,
I'm so sorry,
I realize I'm wrong
Tell me if you're happy
Tell me if you're not.
Tell me if you're crying 'cause the
Sun made it way too hot.
And could you tell me why,
The sky goes black every night?
Why not go red, green or yellow?
Maybe all the colors of the rainbow.

Mourinho claims 100th win as Real Madrid coach
Madrid, Nov 4 (IANS) Jose Mourinho was able to enjoy his 100th win as Real Madrid coach with his side beating Real Zaragoza 4-0 in the Primera Liga football at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium here.
Everything seemed to be going according to plan Saturday night as a Real Madrid side with Luka Modric and Michael Essien raced into a 2-0 lead after just 24 minutes thanks to goals from Gonzalo Higuain, who was again preferred to Karim Benzema and Angel De Maria, reports Xinhua.
Higuain was the fastest to react after Zaragoza keeper Roberto Jimenez saved a Raul Albiol header from a corner. He scored from close range after 22 minutes.
Two minutes later, Angel de Maria doubled Madrid's lead after his attempted cross was closed down and he was able to rattle home the rebound.
Real Madrid have a vital Champions League tie at home to Borussia Dortmund in midweek and looked to take their foot off the gas while still looking in control for the rest of the first half.
It would have been almost normal had Zaragoza accepted their fate, but the visitors showed just how much they have changed under the leadership of Manolo Jimenez in the recent months and made a valiant attempt to get back into things after the break.
The visitors upped their physical effort and it would be no exaggeration to say that goalkeeper Iker Casillas was Madrid's best player with saves from Victor Rodriguez and Paco Montanes, who was enjoying himself down the Zaragoza left.
Jose Mari then rattled the Madrid crossbar with a shot from outside of the area before referee Estrada Fernandez did Madrid a big favour when he ruled out a Helder Postiga goal for offside.
Replays showed that the Portuguese striker was onside before taking a through ball and beating Casillas, but the goal never stood and that allowed Michael Essien to score his first goal for Madrid in the closing minutes before Luka Modric added yet more makeup to the score in injury time.
The score in no way reflects what happened on the pitch, but when Spaniards look at their morning papers, 4-0 is what they will see and it is the score that will count.

The revenge of the market on the rentiers
AbstractStarting from the perspective of heterodox Keynesian--Minskyian--Kindlebergian financial economics, this paper begins by highlighting a number of mechanisms that contributed to the current financial crisis. These include excess liquidity, income polarisation, conflicts between financial and productive capital, lack of appropriate regulation, asymmetric information, principal-agent dilemmas and bounded rationalities. However, the paper then proceeds to argue that perhaps more than ever the 'macroeconomics' that led to this crisis only makes analytical sense if examined within the framework of the political settlements and distributional outcomes in which it had operated. Taking the perspective of critical social theories the paper concludes that, ultimately, the current financial crisis is the outcome of something much more systemic, namely an attempt to use neo-liberalism (or, in US terms, neo-conservatism) as a new technology of power to help transform capitalism into a rentiers' delight. In particular, into a system without 'compulsions' on big business; i.e., one that imposes only minimal pressures on big agents to engage in competitive struggles in the real economy (while doing the opposite to workers and small firms). A key component in the effectiveness of this new technology of power was its ability to transform the state into a major facilitator of the ever-increasing rent-seeking practices of oligopolistic capital. The architects of this experiment include some capitalist groups (in particular rentiers from the financial sector as well as capitalists from the 'mature' and most polluting industries of the preceding techno-economic paradigm), some political groups, as well as intellectual networks with their allies--including many economists and the 'new' left. Although rentiers did succeed in their attempt to get rid of practically all fetters on their greed, in the end, the crisis materialised when markets took their inevitable revenge on the rentiers by calling their (blatant) bluff.

Summer Courses
Several institutions offer superb advanced laboratory

students and fellows to take advantage of these courses.
Support is available from the Merlie Fellowship.
Merlie Traveling Fellowship
John Merlie was an eminent molecular neurobiologist
who joined the faculty at Washington University in 1982
and was an active member of the neuroscience graduate
program until his death in 1995. Following his death,
numerous friends and colleagues contributed to a fund
established in his name. The aim was to provide support
for program activities, with emphasis on graduate training.
In deciding how to use the fund, his colleagues and
widow took account of the facts that he was a superb
mentor, generously provided training opportunities to
students from other laboratories, and taught in the
Neurobiology course at Woods Hole. Accordingly, it was
decided to establish a Fellowship that would help make
it possible for young neuroscientists to visit other
laboratories or institutions, in order to obtain advanced
training in topics and methods not readily available
at Washington University.

-- New and Noteworthy (4.4.2) --
Due to some compatibility issues with new Eclipse 3.4 I decided to spin another fix release for the 4.4.x plugin version.
Work has started on the 5.0.0 version, which will be a ground-up refactoring of the existing code. The 5.0.0
version will be released in conjunction with Checkstyle 5. This version will require Java 5 to run, and a
minimum of Eclipse 3.2 from the plugin side.
Some historically grown features of the plugin will be axed. Prepare for the worst.

The order is the official 2013 NBA Draft order following the NBA draft lottery.
Also check out many other NBA mock drafts on my list of NBA Mock Draft Databases.
2013 NBA Mock Draft: Round 1 / Round 2
2013 NBA Mock Draft: Round 1
1. Cleveland Cavaliers - Alex Len C – Maryland
With the Cavs showing so much interest in bringing in a veteran SF, I think they'll look away from Porter. Len is the best overall prospect in this draft at the big position, this makes sense. The Cavs are in hot pursuit of a trade for Kevin Love and I think the Timberwovles eventually give in and make the deal. If not, Len should be the pick…a solid 7 footer with a polished offensive game.
Previous pick: Otto Porter
2. Orlando Magic - Nerlens Noel PF/C – Kentucky
The Magic are working hard to trade for Eric Bledsoe of the Clippers. That deal probably hinges on the Clips being able to persuade Chris Paul to return, especially with the hiring of Doc Rivers. Under the proposed deals I'm hearing, Nicholson would be part of the deal leaving the Magic thin at PF. Noel is the pick here and would start from day 1 and would allow the Magic to look away from Burke.
Previous pick: Trey Burke
3. Washington Wizards - Otto Porter SF – Georgetown
The Wizards could look a few different directions here. With the top 2 bigs off the board and an aging Okafor and Nene, that would have been the pick. Ariza is getting paid over $7 million and he doesn't play at that level, even though he's a great defender and shooter. I think Porter is a great fit here and they would possibly look to trade Ariza.
Previous pick: Nerlens Noel
4. Charlotte Bobcats - Ben McLemore SG – Kansas
Isn't it ironic that the Bobcats have the choice of the 2 top prospects on my board with the 4th pick. It's like the basketball God's set it up perfectly for Jordan not to screw this pick up. Either take the guard who can do it all in McLemore or the forward who has the best offensive game in the draft in Bennett. I think they will go with McLemore and let Henderson and/or Gordon go.
5. Phoenix Suns - Victor Oladipo SG – Indiana
Bennett is the best prospect on the board, but the Suns have a pair of twins who came on strong last season and an aging vet in Scola at his position. Oladipo would give them a solid defensive presence and could benefit from Scola's passing ability and Dragic's gunning ability.
6. New Orleans Pelicans - Anthony Bennett PF – UNLV
I still think the Hornets….I mean Pelicans were stupid when they matched the Suns offer for INJURY prone Gordon and set this team back for years simply for not feeling like they let Chris Paul go for nothing. Davis was the #1 pick for them last season, but Bennett gives them a different look at the position. With Anderson and Lopez they'll have a pretty versatile group of bigs.
7. Sacramento Kings - Shabazz Muhammad SG/SF – UCLA
The Kings have too many combo guards and no one who truly plays their position. To add on that, an undersized PG picked near the end of the 2nd round took their starting job. Muhammad is a scoring threat that will stretch the floor and open things up for Cousins to work down low. There will be some trades coming on this team.
Previous pick: Alex Len
8. Detroit Pistons - Trey Burke PG – Michigan
The Pistons have 2 of the best young big men in the league and a very good player in Knight. Burke is a threat on the perimeter to add with Knight and allow Monroe and Drummond to work on the block. Also with Calderon and Bynum headed to free agency a PG is needed.
Previous pick: Michael Carter-Williams
9. Minnesota Timberwolves - Cody Zeller PF/C – Indiana
The way Pekovic has played this season, it's hard to believe he won't command a solid pay day as a restricted free agent. He should be a top option to re-sign to keep Love happy so he doesn't force a trade. Zeller is protection for the Wolves losing either or both players.
Previous pick: Shabazz Muhammad
10. Portland Trail Blazers - Rudy Gobert C – Cholet/France
With Hickson headed to free agency and not a typical C, Gobert is the perfect fit to join Leonard at the position. The Blazers have solid players on the team already in Aldridge, Lillard, Batum and Matthews and just need some good coaching to get back to the playoffs in my opinion.
11. Philadelphia 76ers - Kentavious Caldwell-Pope SG – Georgia
The Sixers definitely need a PF/C and there are a few here on the board. Olynyk is the best fit for this team IMO, but Caldwell-Pope gives them a solid scoring threat who can shoot. He also is a solid defender and the Sixers don't have a SG besides Richardson, who I think is on his way to the end of his career.
Previous pick: Kelly Olynyk
12. Oklahoma City Thunder (from Toronto Raptors) - Kelly Olynyk PF – Gonzaga
Olynyk is the perfect fit for the Thunder. He gives them an option to dump the ball in the post with a scoring ability and would allow Ibaka to roam like he loves to do. With the rumors of the Thunder trying to trade Perkins and their draft choices to move up, I think they are targeting Len. If they can't make a deal, Olynyk is a great 2nd option.
Previous pick: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
13. Dallas Mavericks - Michael Carter-Williams PG/SG – Syracuse
The Mavs obviously struggled at the PG position last season, having to sign the 38 year old Mike James. They didn't get the production they figured they would from Collison and Beaubois. Carter-Williams has great size and can play both guard positions and create for his teammates. They also need a solid C, which could end up being picked up through free agency.
Previous pick: Cody Zeller
14. Utah Jazz - C.J. McCollum PG/SG – Lehigh
With both Millsap and Jefferson going into the off-season as free agents, it's safe to say both won't be back. That will open up more minutes for Favors and Kanter. They could look at adding more youth at either PF or C, but with an older group of guards McCollum's versatility is too good to pass up.
15. Milwaukee Bucks - Lorenzo Brown PG – North Carolina State
Either Ellis or Jennings will be out the door and after the playoff exit I have a feeling it's Jennings. Brown is a solid PG who has some off the ball skills. I like Brown's experience over a guy like Larkin who could also be an option.
16. Boston Celtics - Steven Adams C – Pittsburgh
I personally wasn't a fan of the Melo pick last season. I believe that Adams is the player they were hoping Melo could be. With Garnett playing C and almost at the end of his career, the Celtics needed another big man. Wilcox is also a free agent, but for Melo not being able to sniff the court under those circumstances screams he's not the guy.
17. Atlanta Hawks - Jamaal Franklin SG – San Diego State
Franklin gives the Hawks another scoring option and he's one of the best rebounding guards I've seen. They have a lot of free agents going into the off-season and need to fill a lot of holes. I think they are in the perfect position to make a solid impact in this draft with these 2 picks.
18. Atlanta Hawks (from Houston Rockets) - Gorgui Dieng C – Louisville
Dieng could allow Horford to play his more natural position at PF and give a defensive presence in the middle. Both Zaza and Petro are free agents this off-season and Dieng would be an immediate upgrade either way.
19. Cleveland Cavaliers (from Los Angeles Lakers) - Shane Larkin PG – Miami
With Livingston headed to free agency and Irving seeming to have a legit injury issue, the Cavs need another PG as insurance. Larkin proved last season that he has potential to be a very solid PG and he might get a chance to play big minutes next season.
20. Chicago Bulls - Allen Crabbe SG – California
I think the Bulls need to add a solid big man to compliment Noah and Gibson. Boozer is getting older and he's too inconsistent at this point in his career. At the same time, they need someone to score consistently with Rose who'll be back next season.
21. Utah Jazz (from Golden State Warriors) - Deshaun Thomas SF – Ohio State
It's so many scenarios for the Jazz this off-season starting with their own free agents. They lose every one of the PG's and their two starting bigs. Thomas is one of those glue guys a team needs that I compare what I feel his impact will be to a Draymond Green from last season.
22. Brooklyn Nets - Sergey Karasev SF – Russia
The Nets could go best player available or they could go with a homer pick and take the best Russian who is in this range of prospects. Karasev is a top foreign prospect and the quick decline of Wallace could make this pick easy.
23. Indiana Pacers - Mason Plumlee PF/C – Duke
The Pacers have West heading into free agency unrestricted and Psycho T is a restricted free agent as well. Plumlee can be reunited with his big brother as they look towards the future of the position. West needs to be brought back, but Hansbrough is expendable.
24. New York Knicks - Dennis Schroeder PG – Germany
The Knicks need help in so many different areas. Carmelo needs help and Chandler obviously isn't 100% and has plenty of mileage. They could go with a C, but with Kidd retiring and Felton proving he's worthless in the playoffs Schroeder is my pick. A very long guard who has a high ceiling of potential.
25. Los Angeles Clippers - Isaiah Canaan PG – Murray State
I personally think CP3 will walk in free agency and the Clippers will need another PG. It was smart keeping Bledsoe and not trading him in the end, but they'll need another option. Canaan is a solid prospect who could end up starting, especially if the rumors of Bledsoe being on the trading block are true.
26. Minnesota Timberwolves (from Memphis Grizzlies) - Ricky Ledo SG – Providence
The Timberwolves addressed the big position early in the draft. They need a scorer on the perimeter and Ledo has an amazing upside to his game. He also has good size at the position.
Previous pick: Jeff Withey
27. Denver Nuggets - C.J. Leslie SF/PF – NC State
The Nuggets style of play needs to change just a bit if they want to truly compete for a title. Run and gun doesn't work in the playoffs and Leslie is the type of player they can feed for scoring opportunities down the stretch.
28. San Antonio Spurs - Tony Mitchell PF – North Texas
The Spurs have a pretty simple formula to their drafting. They either take an experienced player or a foreign player on a consistent basis. Blair and Splitter are free agents and Duncan may retire after a possible championship, and so may Ginobili. They need some big men for the future.
29. Oklahoma City Thunder - Reggie Bullock SG – North Carolina
With the Thunder taking a C with their first pick, they look to sure up the bench with a solid shooter. They obviously missed Harden last season and Martin is heading into free agency. Bullock is a solid option here for them.
Previous pick: Lucas Nogueira
30. Phoenix Suns (from Miami Heat) - Brandon Paul SG – Illinois
The Suns can use a guy with Paul's skill set. They just don't have any player like him on their team. I don't understand what they want their style of play to be. I'm high on Paul's game as you can see from this draft position.

On Feb. 24 Comic Book shares an elaboration of an episode that is being widely talked about still. Before the mid-season finale, Rick sent Carol away from the prison for killing the two that were sick. When Rick told Daryl about it, the scene was sent up so that it should have looked like the conversation wasn't over yet, however, many fans seemed to think that Daryl was in acceptance of the ordeal, when, in reality, Reedus says that he never would be.
Reedus elaborates that the way the scene was written, he was in disbelief that Carol would do such a thing, but then everyone has been brought to doing things that they otherwise wouldn't in normal circumstances. Rick should have known that, but then again he also had a point in sending her away because it could have been anyone next. While the scene was meant to be open ended, Daryl definitely wasn't happy about it and needed time to process what he wanted to say.
