This is the space between the land and the head. This is a type of going.
this little piggie when in france found its face, and the blue of the burble
and the blank slate. this little piggie when in rome stood apart from the fall
of the empire and the back slatted painting of roofs - a space between fingers
so distressed and almost. this little piggie when in training learned the middle
of the tracks is the safest place to duck in avoidance of train cars passing
as they grind their wheels to spark and stop.
if this is your bag on the bluest of blue benches, please leave a message
we will fail to grant all your wishes.
i've taken to coughing beneath my microscope and to letting the automatic
beauty machine leave messages in the rain to someone else - hair a net of
wetting. you can catch cold really easily if you know where to pack your books,
to pick your boots up from the copier. the paste on the wall is a copy. the copy
in your college roomate's attic is also a copy and the thing behind the thing's
behind is always so humane. this little piggie is still waiting for the huff and the puff
but he really trusts in brick. his truck is rusting somewhere out in the sticks
and he dreams of the day when his bench will spray coordinates for others like
a field of stars to follow.

After graduating in 2011, Isaac Eagan became an Afghanistan field representative with Spirit of America, a nonprofit organization helps Americans serving abroad assist people in need. The organization responds to needs identified by American military and civilian personnel serving around the world for items, support and expertise that will help local people. He describes one project in a September 2012 online video.
Having applied his commitment to public service, as well as his organizational and planning talents, to the U.S. Army, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, French high school students and a food service for homeless people, Isaac Eagan now wants to serve the federal government by advancing U.S. interests abroad.
Eagan came to the La Follette School after spending two years with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Milwaukee serving the most severely injured veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan by coordinating their medical treatment and expediting their disability compensation. He also served as congressional liaison, linking the department with members of Congress to serve their constituents more effectively, and as joint services records research coordinator, researching historical evidence to corroborate veterans' claims.
Above: Isaac Eagan sails on an Albanian patrol boat heading out of Sarandë harbor to link up with the U.S. Navy ship Grapple (in the background), the salvage vessel used to clear the port of ships scuttled during Albania's 1997 civil war. Eagan liaised with the U.S. Defense Department's attaché and the U.S. Navy in the salvage mission to raise some of the ships and transform them into reefs to encourage scuba diving and tourism.
Below: Eagan also traveled with the U.S. ambassador to Albania (in dark suit) and a representative from a nongovernmental organization to a Roma (gypsy) community. "We visited an utterly squalid slum to raise the Albanian government's awareness of their poverty," Eagan says. "As in much of Europe, the Roma have access to little or no public services and are unable to have a real voice in their own affairs."
Although he served many people, Eagan returned to school to focus on the more international aspects of the government for the next phase of his career. "I am developing a more analytical and policy-based skill set that builds upon my past experiences and prepare me for future endeavors," says Eagan, who graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2003 with a degree in international studies. "It had been a relatively long time since I had been in an academic environment, so I was excited to have the opportunity to fine-tune portions of my brain that had long been dormant."
Prior to working for the Department of Veterans Affairs, Eagan served in the Wisconsin Army National Guard, volunteering twice to deploy to Iraq, in 2003-2004 and 2006-2007. While in Iraq, he participated in assignments that ranged from leading convoy security teams to conducting route reconnaissance missions to working with Civil Affairs units to provide basic necessities such as schools and access to water for Iraqi villages.
The most satisfying endeavor, however, was training the Iraqi Army, he says. "We conducted this mission at the very beginning of the training process in the fall of 2003, so we had a lot of flexibility and autonomy in devising the training curriculum — this was coupled with working with and really getting to know Iraqis to a degree that most soldiers can't. It was an extremely rewarding experience from both a personal and professional perspective."
In between tours in Iraq, Eagan taught English in two high schools in Nice, France; he also worked as the interim food service manager for the Dubuque (Iowa) Rescue Mission. These jobs, while seemingly diametrically opposed, exposed him to working with diverse populations in frequently challenging circumstances and reinforced his commitment to public service. "These jobs, along with my military service, challenged me to think quickly and adapt to frequently changing conditions," he says. "In situations like these, it's imperative that you prepare yourself as well as you possibly can and then train yourself to react effectively when things don't turn out as you expected."
This mentality has served Eagan well in his return to school to earn a master of international public affairs degree, especially when it came to classes with unfamiliar and challenging material. "I can't lie — I certainly had some cobwebs in the parts of my brain that dealt with statistics and economics," he says. Having made it through the first year's rigorous core classes, Eagan is focusing his studies on the Middle East and America's relationships in that area. He is also taking Arabic. "During the course of my travels, I have always found it more effective when you attempt to communicate with people in their native tongue instead of automatically assuming that they speak English," he says. "It immediately conveys a willingness to meet the other person halfway, and this is one of the real keys to brokering trust and cooperation."
In between his first and second years at La Follette, Eagan interned with the U.S. State Department in Albania. There he gained insight into the ways that America deals with the rest of the world in diplomatic terms. During the 10-week program, Eagan traveled with the Ambassador to various events, created an outreach program to dispel myths about the visa application process, developed programs for a new embassy energy-conservation initiative, and worked with the U.S. and Albanian navies in conducting salvage operations. "This experience really provided me with important insight into how America projects 'soft power' internationally through programs like these — it was an extremely valuable summer," Eagan says.
After he completes his degree this spring, Eagan will spend the summer in a yet-to-be-determined Middle Eastern country doing immersive Arabic study. He plans to eventually put his newly gained knowledge to work for the federal government in Washington, D.C. "For me, it's always been important to serve this country," he says. "For as many problems as we admittedly have, it's pretty remarkable that a country of over 300 million people operates as smoothly as it does. I want to do my own small part to make that trend continue."

Should he stay or should he go?
The sense in Washington seems to be unanimous that Gen. Stanley McChrystal has done enough damage to civilian-military relations and to U.S. efforts in Afghanistan to justify removal from his post. But the real questions go deeper:
Do his remarks REQUIRE his removal? What would do more damage to our national interests: bringing in new leadership at this pivotal moment in Afghanistan to carry out a strategy that McChrystal himself designed, or leaving the general in place, despite the harm he has done?
But even that isn't the important question. The real question is: Do WE stay or do we go?
In comments yesterday, I noted that McChrystal's staff in the Rolling Stone piece had floated the option of requesting even more U.S. troops next summer, the point when current strategy says we will start reducing our footprint in Afghanistan. So I posed a question in comments: Who believes such a step would be appropriate?
Not a single person, right or

7 Common Mistakes to Avoid When Starting Up
Giving It Your All, Financially
Many small business owners may be tempted to drain themselves dry when it comes to financing their business. When a founder has already sacrificed his sleep, other career opportunities, and perhaps a small portion of his sanity, it seems only natural to try to make it work by investing as much as you can. However that won't work, says Jennings. "The purpose of the business is to work for you," Jennings says, and a founder should be sure to provide for himself even while the company is growing. "A modest salary is critical to your well-being."

Undefeated, hard-hitting James Kirkland (17-0, 15 KOs) and unbeaten Timothy "Desert Storm'' Bradley (17-0, 10 KOs) will risk their unblemished records against Billy Lyell (14-3, two KOs) and Michael "Cold Blood'' Clark (36-4, 17 KOs), respectively, in the co-featured bouts Friday, Feb. 2, on "ShoBox: The New Generation." SHOWTIME will televise both contests at 11 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast)..
Kirkland and Lyell will collide in a 10-round junior middleweight fight. Prior to the main event, Bradley will square off against Clark in an eight-round junior welterweight match-up. Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, will promote the doubleheader at Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez, Calif.
A banger from the Aaron Pryor school, Kirkland, a native of Austin, Texas, looks to overwhelm opponents with brute force and tons of punches. The 22-year-old southpaw with dynamite in both hands has won nine straight by knockout, and is coming off of a fourth-round knockout over David Toribio on Dec. 1, 2006, at Chumash.
Lyell, of Warren, Ohio, is a strong, aggressive-minded, combination puncher who comes to win and makes for good scraps. After a six-fight winning streak ended two outings ago, the 22-year-old rebounded in his last outing to record an eight-round unanimous decision over Jarome Ellis on Nov. 2, 2006, in Washington, DC.
The talented, promising Bradley, of Coachella, Calif., will make his second consecutive ShoBox and Chumash appearances. In his network debut on Dec. 1, 2006, Desert Storm recorded an eight-round technical decision over veteran Jaime Rangel on SHOWTIME. The 23-year-old Bradley was ahead 79-73 on all three scorecards when the match was stopped due to a cut over Rangel's right eye.
Clark, of Columbus, Ohio, won his initial 24 fights before losing to then-WBO lightweight champion Artur Grigorian in October 1999. Throughout his career, Clark has fought world-ranked boxers, including former world titleholders Vivian Harris and the late Levander Johnson. Clark, 33, who appeared on the "Contender'' television series, scored a first-round knockout over Ricky Alexander in his last start on Nov. 17, 2006, in Chester, W. Va.
About ShoBox: The New Generation
Since its inception in July 2001, the critically-acclaimed SHOWTIME boxing series, ShoBox: The New Generation has featured young talent matched tough. The ShoBox philosophy is to televise exciting, crowd-pleasing and competitive matches while providing a proving ground for willing prospects determined to fight for a world title. The growing list of fighters who have appeared on ShoBox and advanced to garner world titles includes Leonard Dorin, Scott Harrison, Juan Diaz, Jeff Lacy, Ricky Hatton, Joan Guzman, Juan Urango, David Diaz (interim) and Robert Guerrero.

FUNFARE By Ricardo F. Lo The Philippine Star Updated September 06, 2012
Those who watched Sarah Geronimo's concert last week in Cache Creek Casino Resort, two hours drive from San Francisco, were puzzled why Sarah cried while singing Forever's Not Enough, one of her hit songs.According…
Maria says:
July 30, 2012 at 10:17 am
Dear Sarah,
I watched SGL here in CA few hrs ago. It was very evident that you're very overprotected and dependent on your parents even at 24. It is very disturbing to watch how your Mom was acting like God knowing His will for you in all things. Gerald was the only brave, sincere, loving and mature man to pay respect to your parents and court you at home, perhaps not as often as your parents wished, but after him, I doubt it if there be another braver soul to face them for you. The least your parents could have said were some kind words of little appreciation for his efforts and not judge him on national tv . Ge always had good words for you and your family during his interviews, it says much of his breeding. I admire you as a performer but I ended up admiring Ge even more for his maturity and genuineness. I am a mother of a 19 y/o and raised her God fearing and with values as well, but I let her learn her lessons on her own, even if I wanted to dictate to her what her decision shd be at a particular moment, I trust and give her a chance, and so far, she's not failed me. More than half of your lifetime, you've already provided, obeyed and shown love to your family, when will you allow yourself to be loved. Being in love is such a wonderful and fulfilling experience in life, and you don't know when it comes, you learn so much from it, and there's no such thing as a perfect man that he won't ever hurt you. For your discernment, I beg you to seek the advise and wisdom from other people like Ms Judy Ann, Sharon, Ms Angeli Valenciano or any other older mentor outside your family that have personally experienced love and lived a happy family life in show biz, you can even ask the guidance of a priest. Your parents are somehow seeing Ge as a competition for your love and attention, thats why they can't let go. Ge even said in one of his interviews "to understand your Mom bec you're their baby". You've accomplished and done a lot in your career at Avery short 10 years, and you're such a great performer, actress, host,endorser and I admire you for that, but you being in that spotlight, has shown us that at 24, you're not consistent with your actions and words, afraid to speak ou your own convictions ESP around your folks, perfectionist when it comes to relationship . You're trying so hard to be that perfect image but first you have to be true to yourself, to your own feelings, your own point of view and stand in life ( and not bec your parents said so), then only you can be true to others, to your fans, to your friends, to the man you'll love someday. God gave us this beautiful life to enjoy, He also authored love itself and created our hearts to feel such wonderful emotions, without losing our souls. Your parents being so tradionalists wanting you to be courted at home only and not outside or texts seems out of touch with reality and with the times. Of course, Ge shd court you in your house, but must also allow you to go on dates still with some guidelines bec it would be nice to go on a dinner or a movie or just stroll and comfortably get to know each other better. Besides, this is your chance to experience new things in life that you've missed out on, it doesn't mean you're going to do the "wrong thing" which parents are afraid of, but with proper discussion about saving your purity/ chastity until marriage, it can be done. Just look at Nikki Gil and Toni Gonzaga, their respective boyfriends know and respect their boundaries, and it's admirable and achievable . Texting and calling on cp are the ways to communicate now, what are your parents thinking, is that also restricted? As much as you're wanting to to tell yourmparentsnthat you'd be obedient and try to please them, your actions and words and emotions clearly prove to us that your family is not admirable, the episode with them last nite showed how strict, selfish, narrow minded , controlling and overprotective they are of you, and that was very evident and made a lot of us very sad for you . Like Ge said, time lost will never be found again, live life, do the things you want to do, say the things you want to say, ( I don't think he implied be rebellious to your parents and do whatever you like), take risks, be not afraid, trust ESP in God, and in those you love, enjoy life, there's more to,life than just lots of projects, popularity, titles, awards, good family image, ( there's no such thing as a perfect family even if your intact), You've given so much to your family, to your fans, to your bosses, and management, it's time to give time to yourself and what matters to you. My heart aches for Ge as well, he's matured and appreciates all that he's learned from knowing you and he might not be the intellectual man that your parents wished for, but it's very evident he is the more emotionally matured of the two of you, the spiritual aspect is something that the two of you together can grow into and it'll even be more fruitful . Sarah, I am in my late 40′s and I've never followed a love story like yours and Ge, it reminded me of Sharon Cuneta's days with Gabby, Richard, and made us relive our hopeless romantic days in our college years when weremin love ourselves, I believed that your team up with Ge was the most genuine so far out of all of them, bec it blossomed after the movie was over, and you didn't really need each other's help to promote something, and that you each on your own have outstanding name established already, that's why it was very clear and sincere to all of us when Ge started courting you. Forgive me Sarah for giving you my unsolicited points of.view but I hope this gets to you, other people will say very nice words to comfort you but you need to know that this is how we see it from the fans point of view , and my intention is for you to learn there are well meaning people out there that truly care for you, your growth as a beautiful young confident, pure, joy filled, woman with conviction. Sarah, you and Ge are in my prayers as well as your parents, and the many fans out there who are a bit disillusioned like me, may God's holy will be done !
OFF CAM. Hello Babe! :) <3
Ewan ko ba. Ngayon lang ako nakaramdam ng kilig and happiness for two people na nagmamahalan. Yeee! Ate Sarah deserves all the kilig and happiness na meron ngayon. At ang favorite scenes ko ay:
G: Masaya ka naman? :)
S: Oo . :DD Nagulat ako eh.
G: Nagulat ka? Lagi kitang ginugulat 'no?
S: Oo, gusto ko yun. ;))
G: Gusto mo yun? :>
(Laugh trip)
S: Sige, konti nalang.. konti nalang.. :))
"Hindi po ako natatakot at nanghihinayang na maghintay para sa tamang panahon para umibig." -Sarah Geronimo
Sarah has the one of the most purest hearts ever. Because of her I'm not ashamed to wait for the right time to fall in love. She makes me believe that the longer I wait, the better I get….
i'm not really a fan of sarah g but when i was watching her perform her final song with gerald anderson on her new show, i couldn't help but get a little teary eyed. i don't know. haha but there's something about how gerald look into sarah. like she's the only girl in the world. that he can't take…

From where you were in '06, this is incredible. Long about March of '07 your pencil skills notched up, then November of '07 your digis and everything else just jumped lightyears. And since then, you've just gotten more and more refined.

Chapter 12 Reviews
The aftermath of the failed robbery
"Detective," a voice cried. "There!"
Gerard sighed with relief as he was granted his wish. He turned his head roughly in the direction of the sound, before almost immediately having the blindfold removed. Squinting in even the dim light, Gerard was relieved to finally have the gag removed too.
"Are you Gerard or Mikey Way?" the officer asked.
"Gerard," he gasped as the knotted cloth was pulled gently from his mouth. "Please help Mikey."
Another police officer knelt at Mikey' s side and removed his blindfold and gag as Gerard was untied. In only a few more minutes, both brothers were freed from their bonds and, finally standing, fell into a quivering hug.
"Mikes, are you okay?"
"I'm okay, Gee, it feels so good to be able to see again!" the younger man replied before glancing down at the gunshot wound still preventing Gerard from placing any weight on it. "But what about you? Your leg?"
The police officer nearest glanced down and noticed the bloodied tear in the fabric, a few inches above Gerard's knee.
"I'm Detective Briggs," he introduced himself gruffly. "What happened to your leg?"
"You know who he is, but not what happened to him?" Mikey drew himself up and eyed the detective with suspicion. "One of your men shot him at the bank without first establishing his identity."
The detective frowned and nodded. "Mikey Way. You're the lawyer, eh?"
"Yeah," Mikey frowned angrily. "And don't think I'm going to let this go, Detective. You shot an unarmed man, a hostage, without warning or any attempt to identify him."
"It wasn't me," he snapped defensively.
"You were the officer in charge," Mikey replied slowly and assuredly. "You are deemed to be responsible. The buck stops with you!"
"Well, I remember it differently, and I think you'll find my men do too," Briggs scowled.
Mikey frowned angrily. "Listen to me, Detective: my job is cutting through lies and getting to the truth. Don't think you can lie you way out of this, because I won't let you."
"First we'll find out if it's you on trial. You're both coming with me. I've got questions."
"Gerard needs urgent medical attention," Mikey argued as his arm was grabbed roughly.
"He'll get it at the station," Briggs snapped.
"Hey!" Gerard snapped, pushing the police officer's hand from Mikey's arm. "Are we under arrest or something?"
"Not yet," the detective replied, narrowing his eyes.
"Not yet!" Gerard fumed. "Have you forgotten that Mikey was kidnapped?"
"You weren't."
"And you know full well that he cooperated fully with the bank and the police," Mikey cut in, angry with Briggs' tone.
"Well," Briggs smiled insincerely, "we'll discuss all that at the station."
Still angry at their treatment, Mikey and Gerard allowed themselves to be led out of the empty warehouse and away to the waiting cars. As the last man left, a tall man with almost shoulder length curly hair slipped through a door near the back and headed swiftly down the fire escape at the back of the building. Crossing the street, he rounded a corner and waited. Within moments a car pulled up and he slid into the passenger seat.
"Did it go well?" Frank asked hopefully.
"Hard to say," Ray replied as he lit a cigarette and shook his head as Frank drove off. "I expected them to be suspicious, but from the looks of things, they were practically under arrest."
Frank slammed his hand down on the steering wheel. He was angry; Mikey had talked them into this, none of them were happy with the idea, but he had been insistent. Frank had listened to a long speech on how if he and Gerard never showed up, they would either be considered guilty or dead. How it was much safer and cleaner if they appeared to have been released and gave plausible accounts of what had happened to them. Frank had warned Mikey that, although he was a lawyer, he had an endearing naivety when it came to matters pertaining to the police and their keenness to resolve cases, regardless of the guilt or innocence of the defendant. He had pleaded with Mikey to see his side, to see reason. Frank had been deterred by his insistence that it had to be done, and the sheer strength of his argument. Frank now understood why Mikey was a successful lawyer; he had managed with ease to convince Frank that he was right. But, in his eyes, as he reflected, Mikey had forgotten that Frank had been an equally successful criminal and evading the police was something he was exceptional at. Not only was he very good at it, he appreciated the necessity of it. That was something Mikey was lacking and now he had allowed him to walk straight into their hands. He could only hope that he would be able to walk out unscathed by the experience.
"I told him not to go!" Frank snapped, angry with himself for not standing firm. "I should have stopped him!"
Ray sighed deeply at Frank's frustration. "Frank, if it's any consolation, I think he's right. They have to do this, or it'll look suspicious."
Frank exhaled and his shoulders sagged as he pulled into a small parking lot.
"It doesn't make me worry less or feel better about it," he sighed.
"I know," Ray nodded. "He's brave, I'll give him that."
"Ray," Frank drew his lips into a thin line. "He can't go to prison, it'll kill him. They'll kill him."
"He won't, Frank," Ray replied comfortingly. "Seriously, there's no way."
"You don't know that."
"Yeah, I do," the taller man insisted.
"How?" Frank asked, his voice small and hopeful.
"Because he's a genius." Ray laughed. "You two are so right for each other!"
Frank smiled thinly. Ray's certainty was comforting but he was still unconvinced. Now it was just a matter of waiting.
"Smoke?" Briggs pointed the open packet at Gerard.
Momentarily hesitating, he took a cigarette and lit it with the Detective's lighter. Drawing on the nicotine, Gerard relaxed slightly. One day, he swore to himself, he would kick this particular addiction.
"So," Briggs took a seat opposite him in the small interview room. "Shall we take it from the top?"
Gerard sighed deeply; he felt a second wave of anger wash over him. They had both been there for over an hour, being treated like criminals. In separate interview rooms, Gerard wondered how Mikey was holding up. He almost smiled as he imagined his brother walking all over them. Mikey gave the impression of fragility with his tall slender frame and delicate features, but he was tough, he had to be in his job.
"Are you listening, Way?" Briggs interrupted his thoughts. "From the top."
"Detective Briggs, my name is Gerard; you can call me that or Mister Way, but you will not call me Way. I'm not a criminal and I won't be spoken to like one."
Briggs raised an eyebrow; it seemed that neither of the Way brothers were going to be easily intimidated.
"Why don't you come clean?"
"Come clean?" Gerard laughed. "Do you guys really talk like that?"
"Look, Way…"
"Mister Way!" Gerard snapped in return.
Briggs leaned over the table, ignoring Gerard's interruption. "We know you were involved, so stop stalling!"
"Okay," Gerard tipped his head slightly to his right. "What do you know? You know that I was contacted by a gang of thieves after Mikey's kidnapping. You know that I spoke to the bank and the police immediately. You know that I recommended the jewels be removed from the vault. That I helped set up a trap for them. It's not my fault they escaped and used me and Mikey to do it!"
"How did they escape?" Briggs demanded.
"I told you! Through the bunker!" Gerard yelled in return.
"And how did they know about it?"
"I don't know how they knew, they just did," Gerard replied, his shoulders sagging as he looked down. "They knew it existed, but didn't know where it was. They forced me to tell them."
"Now we're getting somewhere," Briggs stood upright once more and began to pace the room. "Forced you?"
"They held a gun to Mikey's head," Gerard glanced up, his expression one of pain. "I'd done everything I could to stop the robbery, but I wasn't going to risk my brother. Besides, they hadn't managed to get anything, I definitely wasn't going to risk his life over nothing!"
Briggs frowned; Gerard was good. No jury would believe he'd been anything but a dutiful employee and a loving brother.
"That doesn't tie in with what you're brother's said," he lied, hoping for a response.
Gerard stared up at him, clearly unimpressed.
"I doubt that. We were both there, the only difference being he was blindfolded."
Briggs smirked at the words, he had seen a hole in the story and like a cat he was about to pounce.
"Blindfolded? Really?"
"Yes, really," Gerard replied with irritation clear in his tone.
"Why blindfold him and not you? You'd seen them, why did it matter that he didn't?"
Gerard looked blankly up whilst inside alarm bells were ringing. It was an element of the story that they had overlooked. He tried desperately to remain calm as he thought of a reply. Racking his brains for something plausible, his mind almost fogged under the stress.
Even though Gerard was unaware of it, the seemingly natural pause worked in his favour. Briggs stared down at Gerard's puzzled expression, his earlier conviction that Gerard had been party to the robbery fast being replaced by belief in his story. The detail seemed to him to be too important to be overlooked, and in the case of cover story would have elicited an instant reply. Gerard's pause to consider the question seemed only to prove his case.
"I don't know," he replied, for the lack of anything else to say. "They needed me to lead them in, I don't know why they had Mikey blindfolded. Maybe to upset me? Maybe to stop him escaping? I don't know."
"Okay," Briggs suddenly announced. "You can go."
"Go?" Gerard repeated taken aback by the sudden change in tone.
"Yeah, go. We've got your statement and description, you're free to go," Briggs replied trying to sound casual, as if all victims were treated in this way. "If we catch the guys, you'll have to come back to identify them and give evidence in court."
"You've had me here for an hour and a half treating me like I was one of them and that's all you have to say?" Gerard yelled angrily.
"Call it the 'Good Cop, Bad Cop' routine."
"Where was the good cop?" Gerard snapped.
"Believe me, Way, I was the good cop!"
Gerard stared up furious at his behaviour. "Which one did Mikey get?"
Briggs rolled his eyes. "Ask him yourself; he's been waiting for you for forty minutes. Now pick up your stuff and get out."
"Sounds like he got Rookie Cop," he sneered in reply.
"Get out, Way, while you can."
Gerard glowered, unable to believe he'd been put through that whole experience. The only thing that cheered his spirits was knowing that Mikey had been waiting for him all that time. He must have done what he expected and had wiped the floor with them, running legal circles around the police who had no case against them at all.
Now all that was left was for them both to quit their jobs. Mikey would have to move back from Chicago, but that would be easy enough, he had a spare room and having his brother around all the time again would be great – much better than occasional visits. But working together too, now that would be awesome.

"With its new scale-in design and built-in expertise, PureSystems represents an important advance in the evolution of computing," said Steve Mills, senior vice president and group executive, software and systems, IBM, as IBM today announced a major step forward in a new, simpler era of computing with the introduction of a new category of "expert integrated systems."
"By tightening the connections between hardware and software, and adding incomparable software know-how, PureSystems is designed to help clients to free up time and money to focus on innovation that many businesses cannot address due to ever rising costs and staffing needs in the traditional data center," Mills added.
This new family is the first with built-in expertise based on IBM's decades of experience running IT operations for tens of thousands of clients in 170 countries.
IBM's expert integrated systems family – PureSystems – is the result of $2 billion in R&D and acquisitions over four years, an unprecedented move by IBM to integrate all IT elements, both physical and virtual. The new systems family offers clients an alternative to today's enterprise computing model, where multiple and disparate systems require significant resources to set up and maintain.
The prime challenge facing companies worldwide is the need to spend 70 percent or more of IT budgets on simple operations and maintenance, leaving little to invest in innovation.[1] Two-thirds of corporate IT projects are delivered over budget and behind schedule, according to a recent study by IBM which also found that only one in five corporate IT departments are able to spend the majority of their IT budget on innovation. To join the conversation, visit #IBMPureSystems on Twitter.
With the introduction of the new PureSystems family, IBM is unveiling three major advances that point to a new era of computing technology that is designed to allow businesses to slash the high costs and nagging complexity associated with managing information technology.
- "Scale-In" System Design: With PureSystems, IBM is introducing a new concept in system design that integrates the server, storage, and networking into a highly automated, simple-to-manage machine. Scale-in design provides for increased density – PureSystems can handle twice as many applications compared to some IBM systems, doubling the computing power per square foot of data center space.[2]
- Patterns of Expertise: For the first time, IBM is embedding technology and industry expertise through first-of-a-kind software that allows the systems to automatically handle basic, time-consuming tasks such as configuration, upgrades, and application requirements.
- Cloud Ready integration: Out of the box, all PureSystems family members are built for the cloud, enabling corporations to quickly create private, self-service cloud offerings that can scale up and down automatically.
Scale-In Design Marks New Path for 21st Century Technology
PureSystems' scale-in design integrates and optimizes all of the critical components required in today's data center – system networking, storage, compute, management, etc. -- and provides for a single-view management system. The result is a system that is intuitive to set up and can be far less expensive to maintain and upgrade. For example, PureSystems can go from its single shipping crate to being up and running in one-third the time as compared to other IBM technology.[3]
PureSystems can automatically and quickly scale compute resources, networking and storage.
Bottling Expertise – 'Patterns' Package Know-how
At the center of the PureSystems is new software capability – "patterns of expertise" -- that enables operational know-how and knowledge to be built directly into the systems. This first-of-a-kind approach converts technology expertise into reusable, downloadable packages. Patterns are available in three categories:
- IBM Patterns: Built-in at the factory and created based on knowledge gleaned from IBM's smartest IT managers, engineers and technology experts, these sets of patterns are designed to automate time-consuming tasks such as configuring, deploying and upgrading applications -- applications that used to take days to deploy can now be rolled out in hours, for example.
- ISV Patterns: IBM has teamed with more than 125 independent software vendors to offer applications that are certified "PureSystems Ready." A new online catalogue of ISV Patterns, PureCentre, radically simplifies how applications are purchased, deployed and managed. For example, a customer relationship management program that used to take three days to deploy can now be deployed in under one hour. [See separate press release]
- Customer Patterns: IT organizations can package the knowledge of their own handcrafted applications into a Pattern. As a result, a company that is interested in expanding into new markets can do so even when skills are not readily available in new regions or markets.
Cloud Ready Systems
With PureSystems, IBM is taking the unprecedented step to completely integrate all of the technology components needed to stand up a private cloud system in minutes. By combining the virtualized servers, storage and networking found in PureSystems with cloud management software, IT organizations have a ready-to-go "cloud system in a box" -- giving them a foundational private cloud environment that can be expanded. The PureSystems cloud is delivered with built-in security, with no single point of failure.
To significantly accelerate the use of the cloud, IBM has included a cloud self-service and provisioning interface directly into PureSystems. An application developer, for example, can use the self-service feature to configure a cloud environment application without any help from the IT department. PureSystems will sense and respond to the needs of the running applications and services and make decisions on how best to deploy IT resources while ensuring maximum efficiency, performance, and control.
PureSystems integrates the same foundational technologies and software used in IBM's public SmartCloud Services offerings. As a result, by sharing common capabilities and interfaces, application developers can use IBM SmartCloud Services to create and test new applications.
Pricing and Availability
The first two models of the PureSystems family – PureFlex System and PureApplication System -- start shipping to customers this quarter. PureSystems support POWER processors and Intel processors.
Credit-qualified clients that elect financing can see immediate benefits with PureSystems while deferring their first payment for 90 days. Flexible financing options provided by IBM Global Financing[4] make it simple for clients to acquire PureSystems, while enabling them to manage budgets more easily with predictable payments. IBM Global Asset Recovery Services can buy back servers, including those made by HP and Oracle, for clients migrating to IBM PureSystems.

Rates and availability are based on a client's credit rating, financing terms, offering type, equipment and product type and options, and may vary by country. Non-hardware items must be one-time, non-recurring charges and are financed by means of loans. Other restrictions may apply.

A Ban on Large Sugary Drinks: The Way to Go or Too Much?
Written on May 31, 2012 at 1:57 pm , by Marianne Magno
As New Yorkers, we pride ourselves on our city's healthy initiatives: the ban on smoking in public areas, limiting the amount of trans fat in food, public health ads on the dangers of smoking and an unhealthy diet, and posting calorie counts in food chains. But New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's latest proposal to prohibit the sale of sodas larger than 16 ounces in restaurants and fast food establishments has us divided: Cutting back on sugary drinks would help the fight against obesity, but should individuals be forced into making this choice?
Skeptics about this plan point to the specifics of the ban. The proposal would still allow the sale of large beverages in grocery stores and would not apply to drinks with fewer than 25 calories per serving. Some have argued that soda drinkers can go around the ban by buying more than one regular-sized cup and can drink as they please at home.
A decline in soda consumption and sugary drinks in general would be a step in the right direction; even the sugar and calories in fruit juice can add up. But would it be wiser to offer incentives towards switching to good old H2O and the use of reusable water bottles? And how do you think our society can better educate people to make healthy choices without infringing on liberties?
Now tell us: Do you approve of a ban on oversized drinks or not?
Watch those liquid calories: Read our guide and discover how to drink your favorite beverages while staying slim here.

Should Soda Be Taxed Like Alcohol and Tobacco?
Written on February 3, 2012 at 12:46 pm , by Christie Griffin
The debate around whether or not consumers should be taxed more for soda continues to spread, as the journal Nature recently published additional expert opinions. A few of their points, which are in line with numerous other reports:
- More and more scientific evidence suggests chronic sugar consumption has a slow-moving, complex—but devastating—role in metabolic syndromes, such as hypertension and diabetes.
- This class of diseases cost the U.S. $65 billion a year in lost productivity and $150 billion in medical care.
- A levy on added sugars would help meet the growing costs of sugar-related health problems and discourage consumption.
Tobacco and alcohol are both already taxed differently, and we can't help but understand why scientists (and the government) feel that soda might be the "new" cigarette or scotch.
Should there be a tax on soda? Tell us what you think, below!

Time to Kick a Soda Habit?
Written on March 3, 2011 at 3:36 am , by Lisa Haney
Downing a soda a day may bring the doctor your way, new evidence suggests.
Soda and other sweetened beverages like fruit drinks are associated with higher blood pressure levels in adults, a new study in Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association finds.
In addition, those who consumed more than one soda/sugary drink on a daily basis took in nearly 400 more calories per day and had higher body mass indexes (BMIs) compared to those who drank less, according to the findings. "People who drink a lot of sugar-sweetened beverages appear to have less healthy diets," explains Ian Brown, Ph.D., research associate at Imperial College London in an AHA press release about the study. "They are consuming empty calories without the nutritional benefits of real food. They consume less potassium, magnesium and calcium."
Opting for diet soda may not be a healthier option. While the study didn't find a high blood pressure link in diet soda drinkers, separate research presented earlier this month showed daily diet soda drinkers had a 61 percent higher risk of vascular events (like stroke) than soda abstainers.

As stated on the website the main benefits of this platform is that it provides;
A single unified payment for examination services at reduced cost;
A better applicant's identity management solution for the examination bodies;
A single point of access to activities relating to Nigeria's three major examination bodies:
Students are required to create a CEMTP profile before registering for any of the exams, this single profile will be used to populate the details required for all the exams. To create the account student will have to purchase a scratch for as little as N300 saving as much as 600-700 Naira.
The site is being developed 3 Tech firms: SW Global Limited, Fleet Technologies Limited, Global Portal Services Limited. While most parts of the site are under-construction, I must commend this step to unify the exams.
Though under the exam bodies supervision, the sites were well administered we hope the Ministry of Education will be able to handle it effectively.
WOW! This is interesting and really a very good initiative. It saves both the students and examination bodies; data accuracy, flexibility and maximum security.
I love this one; maybe I'd re-blog it.
Thanks Shittu.
Yea Ahmad! it will save them a lot and also helps prevent impersonation to a certain level.
Data can easily be harmonized and verified effectively!
I want to view my neco result
Why will neco just cancel a whole center results without leaving out some candidates who are absolutely innocent? Explaination is needed here.

This week Google announced the release of Android Wear, which is extending the Android operating system to wearable devices. Android-powered smart watches are the first thing they have in mind, but after that, who knows? The sky - or the imaginations of device makers and Android Wear developers - will be the limit.
I'm not sure what to think about it. On the hand, it sounds kind of exciting. On the other hand, well, things could get weird. We'll see...

HIDE/SEEK: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture
"The first major museum exhibition to focus on themes of gender and sexuality in modern American portraiture, HIDE/SEEK: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture brings together more than one hundred works in a wide range of media, including paintings, photographs, works on paper, film, and installation art. The exhibition charts the underdocumented role that sexual identity has played in the making of modern art, and highlights the contributions of gay and lesbian artists to American art. Beginning in the late nineteenth century with Thomas Eakins' Realist paintings, HIDE/SEEK traces the often coded narrative of sexual desire in art produced throughout the early modern period and up to the present. The exhibition features pieces by canonical figures in American art—including George Bellows, Marsden Hartley, Alice Neel, and Berenice Abbott—along with works that openly assert gay and lesbian subjects in modern and contemporary art, by artists such as Jess Collins and Tee Corinne."

From the website ""Carsten Höller: Experience" is the most comprehensive US exhibition to date of the artist's engaging work. The current show gathers together a number of the artist's signature works in an arrangement that transforms the viewer's experience of time and space. Originally trained as a scientist, Höller is frequently inspired by research and experiments from scientific history and deploys these studies in works that alter the audience's physical and psychological sensations, inspiring doubt and uncertainty about the world around them. His work often draws on social spaces outside of the museum such as the amusement park, zoo, or playground, but the experiences they provide are always far from our usual expectations of these activities. Höller's art takes the form of proposals for radical, new ways of living by creating sculptures and diagrams for visionary architecture as well as transportation alternatives, such as his renowned slide installations. These concepts may seem impossible in the present day, but suggest new models for the future." More here.
"TWO years ago, Ellen Stewart, the founder and longtime impresario of La MaMa Experimental Theater Club in the East Village, was speaking to her entire staff at a nearby restaurant when she dropped a bombshell. "Mia," she said, "will be the new me."
That would be Mia Yoo, who, while it was widely understood was being groomed as a successor, had no idea this announcement was coming. She was so stunned that she promptly ran out the door. " 'Oh my God,' I said, 'it's my kid's bedtime!' " she recalled, laughing during a recent interview in the Ellen Stewart Theater, the largest of the three spaces at La MaMa.
The flamboyant Ms. Stewart, who died in January at 91, may have been known as the mama, giving the 50-year old downtown institution its name and identity, but Ms. Yoo, 40, and now its artistic director, is more likely to refer to herself as a mother.
"I am not the mama," she said. "Now the institution is."
Replacing a founder, whether it's a Joseph Papp or a Steve Jobs, is never easy, but taking over at La MaMa poses peculiar challenges as well as opportunities. At a time when many major adventurous theater companies have either lost their space (St. Ann's Warehouse) or are temporarily homeless (Performance Space 122), Ms. Yoo has a very precious asset: downtown real estate."
Pat Passlof, an Abstract Expressionist painter whose canvases vibrate with unpredictable line and thick, luminous color, died on Sunday at her home in Manhattan. She was 83.
A long-planned exhibition of Ms. Passlof's work is scheduled to go on view at the gallery on Saturday Nov. 19 and run through Dec. 23.
The New York Times has an obituary here and had just run an article about Ms. Passlof and her husband Milton Resnick here.

"Hailed simultaneously as a provocateur, prankster, and tragic poet of our times, Maurizio Cattelan has created some of the most unforgettable images in recent contemporary art. His source materials range widely, from popular culture, history, and organized religion to a meditation on the self that is at once humorous and profound. Working in a vein that can be described as hyperrealist, Cattelan creates unsettlingly veristic sculptures that reveal contradictions at the core of today's society. While bold and irreverent, the work is also deadly serious in its scathing critique of authority and the abuse of power."

Dana Schutz combines fantasy and reality, humor and horror, to create figurative paintings that abound with expressionist energy.
One of the most important young artists to emerge in the past ten years, she developed a distinctive visual style characterized by vibrant color and raw and tactile brushwork.
The first ten-year survey of the work of Dana Schutz, organized by the Neuberger Museum of Art, will feature approximately thirty paintings and twelve drawings created by the artist from 2001 to the present and will include work from each of her endlessly inventive series.

From MoMA's website
"This is the first major museum exhibition devoted to the full scope of the career of Willem de Kooning, widely considered to be among the most important and prolific artists of the 20th century. The exhibition, which will only be seen at MoMA, presents an unparalleled opportunity to study the artist's development over nearly seven decades, beginning with his early academic works, made in Holland before he moved to the United States in 1926, and concluding with his final, sparely abstract paintings of the late 1980s. Bringing together nearly 200 works from public and private collections, the exhibition will occupy the Museum's entire sixth-floor gallery space, totaling approximately 17,000 square feet.
Representing nearly every type of work de Kooning made, in both technique and subject matter, this retrospective includes paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints. Among these are the artist's most famous, landmark paintings—among them Pink Angels (1945), Excavation (1950), and the celebrated third Woman series (1950–53)—plus in-depth presentations of all his most important series, ranging from his figurative paintings of the early 1940s to the breakthrough black-and-white compositions of 1948–49, and from the urban abstractions of the mid 1950s to the artist's return to figuration in the 1960s, and the large gestural abstractions of the following decade. Also included is de Kooning's famous yet largely unseen theatrical backdrop, the 17-foot-square Labyrinth (1946)."
From the Press Kit
"In 2005, the writer and art critic Michael Francis Gibson saw Lech Majewski's Angelus in a cinema in Paris. Fascinated by the director's painterly vision, he gave him a copy of his book The Mill and the Cross, an analysis of Pieter Bruegel's painting The Way to Calvary. Majewski, whose creative journey began with painting and poetry, admired the depth of Gibson's insight into Bruegel's picture, so he took up the challenge of creating a visual equivalent of the Flemish master's work.
Pieter Bruegel's epic masterpiece The Way To Calvary depicts the story of Christ's Passion set in Flanders under brutal Spanish occupation in the year 1564, the very year Bruegel created his painting. From among the more than five hundred figures that fill Bruegel's remarkable canvas, THE MILL & THE CROSS focuses on a dozen characters whose life stories unfold and intertwine in a panoramic landscape populated by villagers and red-caped horsemen. Among them are Bruegel
himself (played by Rutger Hauer), his friend and art collector Nicholas Jonghelinck (Michael York), and the Virgin Mary (Charlotte Rampling).
It took Majewski three years to complete the film. It was work that required patience and imagination as well as the use of new CG technology and 3D effects; three years spent weaving an enormous digital tapestry composed of layer upon layer of perspective, atmospheric phenomena and people."
The sculptor's death at age 34 in 1970 turned every scrap from her hand, including these nineteen macabre selfportraits—brought together in a museum exhibition for the very first time—into an object of fascination.

We All Learn : Using Web Resources for e-learning
Shana Pack, Department of Psychology, Glasgow Campus
Technology has made the world smaller and larger at the same time. It has brought people together across oceans and continents, yet has opened up worlds of opportunity, especially through distance education. In this seminar, we will explore ten areas of potential Web sources for online teaching and learning. I will use the WE-ALL-LEARN framework for classifying learning technologies proposed by Curtis J. Bonk (2009) in his book, The World is Open: How Web Technology is Revolutionizing Education. This Web seminar will attempt to hit the highlights and relate material that might be most useful to faculty.

In a featured light-heavyweight bout at UFC Fight Night 30, heavy-handed Canadian Ryan Jimmo and undefeated England native Jimi Manuwa were set to face off in what was one of the most intriguing match ups of the night on paper.
The two men totaled three TKO or knockout finishes in five UFC appearances, so it was going to be interesting to see who's hands and power would come out on top.
Jimmo immediately charged to the center of the octagon to put the pressure on Manuwa early. As I had expected in the preview for this fight, Jimmo didn't want to let Manuwa find space so he was working the clinch game and keeping Manuwa up against the cage.
Unfortunately for Jimmo, the referee wasn't having any of the lack of action and he separated them in hopes of breathing some life into the fight.
Manuwa was able to land some vicious knees to the legs of Jimmo, which forced the Canadian to have an obvious limp midway through the opening round and Manuwa continued delivering damage and going after the legs of Jimmo.
The first round lacked any real action, so it's safe to say that there were no winners in that round — not even the fans.
In the second, Jimmo returned to his strategy of clinching up with Manuwa and pushing him up against the game as the fans began to rain down the boos thanks to neither fighter doing any work.
As soon as the fighters were separated once again, Manuwa got off some strong quicks that temporarily brought us all out of our comas as he began to pick up the pressure.
When the action re-booted, we got treated to more lackluster action, hugging and fighting against the fence. Action was brought to a halt again in the second round when Manuwa delivered what was believed to be a low blow.
After Jimmo's man parts were feeling well enough to continue, he came towards Manuwa once again to clinch him up and *yawn* push him against the cage. If Jimmo was throwing punches while he had Manuwa against the cage, it would be fine, but Jimmo wasn't even attempting to throw any punches.
Shortly after the two men went back into the center of the octagon, Jimmo was backing up when he bounced and then had an awkward leg injury that forced him to go down to the canvas in some sever pain as the doctor called a stop to the action.
It was a boring fight with a bizarre ending, but a win is a win and Manuwa remains unbeaten.

The reason I tried this recipe is that we love all the ingredients. But, the amount of Feta cheese was overwhelming. We couldn't taste the garlic unfortunately and it needed a lot more cucumber for the amount of everything else. I will definitely try again with adjustments.

Everton lost a five-goal thriller against Hull City after almost pulling off a staggering comeback.
3-0 down at the end of the first-half, The Blues looked completely down and out at the KC Stadium but they fought valiantly in the second period and pulled two back.
An own goal by Zayette and a penalty from Saha gave them hope but it wasn't enough to snatch an unlikely share of the spoils.
The travelling Toffees had been encouraged before the start by the announcement of Steven Pienaar in the starting eleven but their enthusiasm was destroyed by a quite shocking opening half-hour.
Hull took the lead after just nine minutes. Tim Howard made a fantastic save to deny Jozy Altidore but in a busy penalty area, Stephen Hunt reacted quickest to slam the loose ball into the net.
Everton had actually started reasonably brightly but the goal inspired the home side. Giovanni stung Howard's hands on 14 minutes with a well-struck shot and Everton suddenly looked decidedly uncertain.
It got worse after 19 minutes when Andy Dawson curled an inch-perfect 20-yards free-kick over the defensive wall and into the top corner of the net to make it 2-0.
Sylvain Distin almost pulled one back within a minute but his header from a Leighton Baines corner was just too high.
Hull's third goal came on 27 minutes. Hunt's low cross wasn't dealt with and Dean Marney's effort from 12 yards found the net via a ricochet off Tim Cahill.
The Toffees were shell-shocked and looked totally bereft of confidence. By contrast, the struggling Tigers couldn't quite believe their luck and just before the break Altidore fired over from the edge of the box.
Dan Gosling came on for the second half to replace Yakubu and the Blues then had an instant chance when Baines fired straight at Matt Duke.
David Moyes had clearly asked for an early goal…and he got one!
In the 49th minute, the visiting fans finally had something to cheer. Baines and Heitinga created some space on the left touchline and the Dutchman's low centre was bizarrely sliced over his own goalkeeper by Kamil Zayette.
Everton, at last, were making a decent fist of things and in the 63rd minute the luckless Zayette upended Louis Saha in the box and the French striker picked himself up to convert the spot-kick.
Now it was Hull City that were rocking and astonishingly, with over a quarter of the match remaining, it was game on!
It was also 'end-to-end' stuff and Howard made another fine save to beat away a Richard Garcia shot to keep Everton in with a shout. Then Heitinga was yellow-carded for a body-check on Marney as a contest that had been embarrassingly one-side suddenly became one you couldn't take your eyes off!
A lovely short passing move involving Gosling, Pienaar and Heitinga presented Tim Cahill with half an opening and although he connected well from distance, the ball flashed wide.
Everton continued to take the fight to the Yorkshire side but it just wasn't to be. Full marks for endeavour after the break but a calamitous first 45 had left too high a mountain to climb.
