Capitol police arrested a man today at the Occupy Harrisburg demonstration in Harrisburg for having outstanding, out-of-state warrants, according to the organization.
The man, whose name was not disclosed, was agitated but not violent, demonstrators said. Calls were made to crisis intervention centers out of concern for his safety.
A spokesman for the state Department of General Services could not be reached.
Last week, a 35-year-old Harrisburg man was arrested after police said he suggested demonstrators storm the Capitol with weapons. Robert Dickey, who is not a member of the Occupy Harrisburg movement, was taken to he hospital for a mental health evaluation after indicating he might have weapons or explosives on him, police said.
People have been protesting at the Capitol since Oct. 15 in support of the monthlong Occupy Wall Street demonstration in New York.

Great Platte River Road Archway Monument
Just a word about parking on I-80. The reason there is a sizable fine for parking to take pictures of the monument is because in the month immediately after it was installed, multiple accidents were happening daily from people stopping to take pictures. It was only a matter of time until someone got killed due to this activity, so the state wisely put up the signs and imposed the fines for parking. The law has to be enforced for public safety. The signs are small and unobtrusive so as not to detract from the monument, but they are regulation size.[Ronda, 11/18/2006]
Thanks for the clarification, unofficial spokesperson for highway safety and regulation signage!
WARNING: I-80 parking scam. We were on our way home from Chicago to Denver and were going to stop in Kearney to have breakfast and see the monument. We stopped along I-80 to take a picture of the archway, didn't see the "No Parking" signs posted about a 1/4 mile out in both directions. They are little signs that say "NO PARKING $100 FINE." We stopped and my husband barely got the passenger door open before a cop came out from behind somewhere and gave us a ticket for $144.00 ($100 plus $44 court costs). We explained that we were tourists from another state, had never been there before and didn't see the signs (no excuse I guess). Ruined our day...didn't bother to go to the museum and sure didn't eat in Kearney. Will never go there now on principle. He could have given us a friendly warning instead of the arrogant attitude.[Vicky, 09/02/2005]
Great Platte River Road Archway Monument
Spanning I-80, in Kearney, Nebraska, is The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument. I believe there are some souvenir shops and some other little stores inside of it. It's quite a sight. Warning: the state of Nebraska prohibits people from stopping along I-80 to take pictures of the monument. Photograph at your own risk.[Brett Barnett, 01/20/2001]
The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument, is scheduled to open this week. An 8-story "log bridge" spans I-80 just east of Kearney, Nebraska.... [06/25/2000] Complete News Story

Indoor tennis anyone?
"Tennis anyone?The northern division of the Whidbey Island Tennis Association will mail out more than 20,000 surveys July 17 to houses from Coupeville to Deception Pass. The WITA wants to know if there is enough interest and financial support to build an indoor tennis court on Whidbey Island.Other divisions of WITA, which began operation May 4 of this year, exist in Coupeville and Clinton. The purpose of the association is to pull tennis players together for more organized play, develop tournaments and programs, and eventually provide an indoor facility.The group works in support of and in conjunction with other established organizations such as the United States Tennis Association, Canadian Tennis Association, Parks and Recreation, school programs and industry-sponsored programs.WITA members play adult tennis at 1 to 4 p.m. on Sundays at Oak Harbor High School, and Horace Mells has been teaching tennis lessons this summer.

SOUTH BRUNSWICK — Drivers will endure lane shifts along Route 1 in South Brunswick that will continue for nearly a year as workers replace the Heath Brook Culvert under the highway at the southern end of the township.
Construction began today, with the northbound lane shifted to the east and the southbound lanes shifted west, state Department of Transportation officials said.
Late next week, lanes will be shifted again, with northbound moved to the west for work in the right lane.
While two lanes will remain open in each direction during the daytime, there will be single-lane closures over night, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday through Friday and 8:30 p.m. Saturday to 9 a.m. Sunday.
The $2.3-million state-funded project will replace the culvert that has been damaged by storms, and repair the approaches to the span in both directions along the highway.
The work is expected to be done next spring, DOT officials said.

It will just make you go crazy at some point.

Poster recap #1
So I have done a couple of posters in the last half year, but felt I had to wait until I had collected up a few before I made a folio piece for them on my website, so here they are! Some have been shown in the blog itself earlier, but this is the recap of the posters I've done in 2010. One of them being a completely new one:

Behind the scenes: Killer schoolgirl shoot (no.1)
While I'm busy working on the post production and retouching of the photographs we took, I thought I could show some of the snap shots Atsuko took during our shoot, as a little tease on what's to come. The shoot is picturing a killer schoolgirl and her victim, focusing on creating ONE very fine photograph with high production value and tons of retouching, rather than a whole series of lower tier shots. On our team we have Daniel Brokstad(myself, photographer), Atsuko Nishiguchi(model), Steinar Ellingsen(model), Helen Keegan(make up artist) and Kim A. Larsen(assistant).

Summer Memories
For a long time I've been a fan of old cameras and the unique images they produce, but also vintage fashion and the two combined. In recent years the vintage fashion have expanded a lot and it has become a lot more popular, and there are several magazines with editorial photography based on the vintage feel. So.. I wanted to have my own take on it, give it a nice summer feeling, light clothing, washed out colours and sunbeams.
So on a warm weekend day, we went down to Fitzroy gardens for a shoot.

On the corner – Design graduates website
One stop closer to the graduation ceremony! We have already had our graduation party called "Back to Black", and on monday the 8th of November we had launched our RMIT design graduates website called "On The Corner", with drinks and food. Sadly I didn't bring a camera, so no photos from the event, but at least check out the website.
Thanks to everyone who made the website and the event possible, not to mention the people who showed up for the launch.
Klaatu Barada Nikto
Klaatu Barada Nikto is a sub series of the "Four Eyed Girls" and was featured in the Inferno Illustration Journal in the very back, but it was mainly made as it's own series of girls with glasses… and monsters! To spice things up a little than just having girls. The name of the series comes from the classic phrase in "The Day the Earth Stood Still", a science fiction movie from 1951. I used this name since I wanted to add the feel to this illustration series of being a bit old school in it's style, being inspired from 50s science fiction movies and cartoon series. Drawn by hand and coloured in photoshop.

Inferno is a self promoting illustration journal, displaying and featuring my illustration work. It's main theme is the first part called "Inferno"(hell), picturing sad and hurting feelings in combination of horrible visuals. The idea in technique was to combine the flowing paint together with hard and geometric lines as a contrast, where the geometric lines are "responding" to the illustrations. The book comes with a slip cover. The 2nd part of the book is called "Four eyed girls", and as the title says, is all about girls with glasses.

See through my eye
Equipped with a camera, wide angle lens and an iPod, I walked the streets of Melbourne and collected random shots of the urban city life of Melbourne. The wide angle shots created a very unique and interesting super wide/stretched look to the photos which makes it feel as if you're seeing it through my eyes.

During my trip in Japan, I filmed random pieces here and there, just because seeing something in motion and with sound adds more to the memory of how it was being there, rather than just watching a lot of still images. After returning back to Melbourne, I was thinking about maybe making a video out of it, but I didn't think I had enough content to do so, since there was a lot of things I didn't film from my trip.
But after seeing a video a friend of mine made of his Bali trip… I decided I should make one of Tokyo as well.
The video contains a very few shots from Osaka and Kobe as well, but since the video contains most content from Tokyo and it's also the main focus in both the video and my trip to Japan, I decided to just call the video "Tokyo". Enjoy:
Photos from my trip to Japan, Tokyo. Capturing the Japanese culture and surroundings. The locations in these photos are Shibuya, Harajuku, Ginza, Yoyogi, Tskiji and Odaiba. One of my biggest regret from my trip was to not bringing my professional camera along when I went to the Tokyo Tower, so sadly no city overview – which I just have to say was amazing. That is on my "To do"-list for next time I go to Tokyo.

Leaving for Japan… tonight!
Even if I've had my university winter vacation going on for a while now, my holiday is finally beginning, tonight! Leaving for Tokyo in just about 8 hours from now and looking forward to a fantastic adventure that lies ahead of me.
Japan have always seemed very interesting to me, not to mention very different which is half of the appeal I guess. I think there will be so much crazy to see and explore, so I am very excited. I will be spending 10 days in Tokyo and 4 days in Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto. Bringing my camera of course and hope to have a whole range of photos from my experience of Japan, so I can flesh out the "Location" section within photography. I should even go into a tourist-mode here in Melbourne and snap some photos of the beautiful views, which I still haven't done.
Apart from the upcoming Japan trip, I've also been busy working on a couple of shoots and some freelance work. Won't be any progress while I'm away in Japan now, but hope to finish up and post my new work once I get home.
Until next time; Sayonara!
Brain Juice
Brain Juice is a new healthy juice on the marked, but with a new approach! It's aimed towards teens and young adults who usually consume a whole lot of coca-cola and other unhealthy drinks, and try to make them drink a healthy natural juice. Instead of making a pure and clean design, looking very fruity and fresh and healthy slogans… Brain Juice takes a different approach by being funny, raw and just strange! A guy is sawing his own head off while strangling himself on the package! That's not normal? It's brain juice crazy!

LE PÉCHÉ is a Premium Absinthe from Switzerland. It was Founded under another name in 1880 in the canton of Neuchâtel. However, in 1910 absinthe was banned from sale and production in Switzerland, and it was at this time some continued to make the drink in secrecy, to please the lovers of the drinks. In the social aspect, it was considered "The Devils Drink". And this is where LE PÉCHÉ, meaning "The Sin", got it's name.

Longest render in 3d history.
I'm currently working on a project of creating a new juice range aimed towards teens, named "Brain Juice", it's going to be a bit edgy and have a bit rough design. I've been working on the design in Illustrator, adding the typography in InDesign, making the liquid in RealFlow and finally putting it all together in a scene in Cinema 4D. I have previously only worked with Maya, but thought I'd give Cinema 4D a try since I've heard it's more simple to use… which I can agree on. Easier to figure out on your own – for the most part at least.

Praise for letter from student
The letter
"Reevaluate America's Pastime,"
written by Nick May of Woodinville, is one of the most articulate and insightful letters I have read in a long time. The fact the he is a high school senior makes it all the more amazing.
I wish that more people had the social awareness this young man already possesses; our city, our country, and our world would be a better place to live.
His parents must be very proud of him.

The Best And Worst Super Bowl Halftime Shows Ever
Best: In Living Color, Super Bowl XXVI
Technically it wasn't a Super Bowl halftime show. FOX didn't even have the rights to broadcast football - yet they took 25 million viewers away from the real deal with a brilliant In Living Color episode. Those who stayed with the Super Bowl were treated to Gloria Estefan and figure skaters. FOX didn't bother to pull a similar stunt the next year against Michael Jackson and they signed an NFL broadcasting deal a year later.

HUNTSVILLE, AL -- Even if you don't know Sean Tuohy's name, you know his movie.
His family's story was told last year in the blockbuster movie "The Blind Side", which depicted how he and his wife Leigh Anne (portrayed by Sandra Bullock in an Oscar-winning role) took in and eventually adopted Michael Oher -- a homeless teenager who eventually became a first-round NFL draft pick.
Tuohy, whose role was played by country music star Tim McGraw, spoke tonight at The Westin at a fundraiser for AGAPE of North Alabama.
AGAPE and Tuohy are natural fits, given their passion for adoption of children.
In a program billed as "The Blind Side Live", Tuohy was to give his audience an inside look at what life was like for his family in Memphis after Oher moved into their home.
"The message that the movie and we have fits in so well with what they do," Tuohy said of AGAPE in a brief interview before the program. "So I'm really here out of fun. I get to talk about something I'm passionate about."

Dr Jonathan Jones is head of Global Navigation Satellite System meteorology research and development work for the Met Office.
The delay of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal between the satellite and a ground based GNSS receiver depends, after elimination of ionospheric effects, on the integral effect of the densities of dry air and water vapour along the signal path. The total delay in the signal from each satellite is known as the slant delay as the path is most likely to be non-azimuthal. As there are too many unknowns in the direct slant path, the signals are mapped up into the vertical (or zenith) by way of mapping functions which reduce the error budget to a level which may be resolved. This new parameter is known as the Zenith Total Delay (ZTD). ZTD gives a measure for the integrated tropospheric condition and is now widely accepted as a standard product from a network of dual frequency GNSS receivers. With further calculation, taking into account surface pressure and temperature, a portion of the ZTD can be converted into an estimate of the Integrated Water Vapour (IWV) content of the atmosphere.
IWV can change rapidly on a very short timescales. As such, the speed at which IWV can be calculated is of critical importance to short term meteorological forecasting (nowcasting). Often, rapid changes in IWV are associated with extreme weather, such as convective initiation and thunderstorm activity. Extreme weather events are typically difficult to predict and track under current operational meteorological systems and, as they have the potential to cause great damage, it is in the interests to both the public and National Met Services to significantly improve nowcasting wherever possible. As such, the requirement for dense, real-time GNSS networks for meteorological applications becomes apparent. Furthermore water vapour is one of the most important constituents of the atmosphere as moisture and latent heat are primarily transmitted through the water vapour phase. As well as this, water vapour is one of the most important greenhouse gases, and as such accurate monitoring of water vapour is of great importance to climatological research.
Jonathan has worked for the Met Office for over 10-years developing his GNSS expertise incorporating a strong blend of academic, commercial and cross government understanding through current and previous partnerships. Jonathan has both technical and GNSS processing expertise and has successfully delivered the operational GNSS-meteorology project and product management as well as partner channel expansion for the Met Office.
Jonathan has acted as peer reviewer for a number of international scientific publications, has presented his own work at numerous large international conferences and has authored/co-authored a number of articles and reports;
Jonathan holds a PhD from the Nottingham Geospatial Institute (formerly the Institute of Engineering, Surveying and Space Geodesy) at the University of Nottingham, and also holds a BSc (Hons) in Environmental Geoscience from Cardiff University.

Poll also shows Gov. Bobby Jindal's popularity slipping and strong support for more legislative independence.
BATON ROUGE -- More than two-thirds of Louisiana residents say the state has slashed its budget enough and strong majorities are concerned about continuing cuts to the state's public hospital system, according to a poll released Tuesday. The survey also shows a mixed reaction to the education overhaul passed by the Legislature this year, with about half of respondents saying they opposed the voucher program that served as a key element of Gov. Bobby Jindal's policy agenda this year.
Though a slim majority still views the governor himself favorably, Jindal saw his approval rating drop by about 13 points since last year.
The poll was conducted by Southern Media and Opinion Research and funded by conservative Baton Rouge businessman Lane Grigsby.
About 68 percent of respondents are opposed to additional cuts to the state's budget and about 89 percent of those surveyed said they were concerned about reductions to the funding of the Louisiana State University System's public hospital system.
The administration announced earlier this summer that it would be eliminating $329 million in funding for those hospitals due to a reduction in the amount of reimbursement the state receives from the federal government for Medicaid expenditures. Officials were able to use other funds to reduce the impact of that cut to about $50 million but, after a shakeup in the leadership of hospital system, administrators have said they are developing plans to slash more from the hospital budget.
About 79 percent of those surveyed said they did not believe the hospitals could continue to provide the same quality of care after the budget cuts and a similar numbers said they believed some residents would lose access to health care.
Voters are almost evenly split on Jindal's decision not to accept an expansion of Medicaid under President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, which would be paid for entirely by the federal government in its early years.
Overall, about 43 percent of residents said that state budget cuts have negatively impacted their families.
The poll showed a mixed reaction to the changes to elementary and secondary education pushed by Jindal and approved by the Legislature this year.
Overall, the poll found that about 26 percent of residents support the changes while about 39 percent opposed the measure and about 39 percent said they had no opinion.
Asked about specific policies, about 54 percent of those surveyed said they oppose the voucher program implemented this year but other policy elements fared better. About 69 percent of voters said they support increasing the standards teachers must meet to get tenure and 73 percent support increasing "accountability for teachers."
Grigsby was a key supporter of overhauling the state's education system, heavily funding a slate of candidates who succeeded in gaining control of the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education last year. However, his efforts have been focused more on promoting charter schools and changing the rules for teacher tenure than on voucher issues.
The poll contains bad news for the governor that goes beyond policy issues. Jindal's approval rating now stands at about 51 percent, 13 points lower than it was a year ago. In addition, about 69 percent of respondents said they thought the Legislature needs to be more independent of the governor.
The poll surveyed 600 registered voters in the state and has a margin of error of 4 percentage points. It was conducted from Sept. 11 to Sept. 20 and included interviews with voters on both landlines and cell phones.

"Peace is breaking out all over the country," said Swartwood, in an e-mail to the Messenger earlier this week. "I am baffled why your peers in the press don't report more of the positive stories that are occurring. Any military person could tell you the real story."
Swartwood, who made it clear that his words reflect only his opinion and not anything official from the Army, is in a unique position to take stock of changes in the theater over the course of the last year.
He came home from his first tour in Iraq in May 2007 and returned, albeit for a shorter tour, to what appeared to be a different country entirely, only one year later.
"I sensed the improved security from the moment I got off the airplane," said Swartwood, who estimates that there were more incidents happening in Baghdad in one hour on his first tour than now happen in a day in the entire country. "The first thing I was told was
that I did not need to wear my battle gear anywhere around the headquarters area, as attacks were minimal. When I was here a year ago, battle gear was worn almost everywhere unless in a hardened building. We would typically get mortared four or five times a day a year ago. We have been mortared once in the last 90 days."
But, even more than the safety of our fighting men and women, the tell-tale sign of success for Swartwood has been the witnessed return to normalcy in the everyday lives of many Iraqis.
"As I travel around, I see the markets full of people and the children playing soccer," said Swartwood, who will draw his 40-year career in the Army Reserve to a close upon returning home in late September.
"When that is the case, you know the people feel secure. Before, you would travel in certain areas and never see a child and the only adults you saw were hurrying to one place or another...as quickly as possible so they could return to safer places.
"The results are obvious to us here on the ground who live it and see it every day."
Swartwood credits the 2007 troop surge strategy and a combination of several other time-sensitive factors for the newfound success in the war effort.
He points to the improved strength and skill of the Iraqi Army, the weakening of the insurgent Mahdi Army, increased cooperation between the Iraqi people and coalition forces and a stronger Iraqi government.
"Of course, don't forget we have the most brilliant of generals in David Petraeus and the finest military that has ever been raised," added Swartwood, a Clio area school board member who has been attending meetings via telephone. "Given this combination, the strategy has always been to give it enough time to make it all work."
Swartwood's assessment of the political and military climate in Iraq mirrors a strongly-worded op-ed written by Bing West, a former assistant secretary of defense and combat Marine, published in the Wall Street Journal earlier this month.
"The war I witnessed for more than five years in Iraq is over," wrote West in his opening sentence.
And while many argue that his declaration is a bit premature, Iraq, by nearly every account, is a different place these days.
According to a report in the Washington Post earlier this month, U.S. forces suffered five combat-related deaths in July, marking the lowest monthly death toll since the war began in March 2003.

Community Family Resources and The Richmond Center have submitted an independent audit and financial report to the Webster County Board of Supervisors.
CFR provides substance abuse detoxification services for the county, and the board recently approved a rate increase from $421 per day from the previous discounted rate of $215 per day.
The board was told the detox program has been losing money for the last several years, and the new rate is based on the real cost of providing the service.
"This is kind of unusual that we are getting this from CFR," said Supervisor Clark Fletcher, who is also on CFR's board of directors.
Fletcher said this shows CFR's willingness to "bare their souls, so to speak," so the county can see how the money is being spent.
"I applaud them for that," Fletcher said.
CFR is a nonprofit group that promotes healthy behavior and lifestyle through advocacy, prevention and treatment of substance abuse, problem gambling and mental illness.
Webster County pays CFR for holding, detoxification and substance abuse evaluation for county residents under certain circumstances. The cost is the same for voluntary admissions and involuntary commitments.

FLUSHING, MI – Flushing High School senior Kaitlyn Cox was initially shocked after hearing she was the recipient of an $8,000 scholarship from Central Michigan University's Leadership Institute.
"I couldn't stop smiling," said Cox, 18. "I was speechless."
The Leadership Advancement scholarship is awarded each year to 40 high school seniors who have distinguished themselves through a record of leadership and service. Nearly 2,500 applied for the scholarship this year.
Cox will receive $2,000 for each academic year at Central
Michigan University.
Cox said helping others has always been a top priority.
"Getting to know people and getting them to be successful is one of my passions," she said. "If they're not happy, I don't feel happy."
At Flushing High School, Cox was involved in National Honor Society, Key Club and student council. She was also a member of the Anti-Bullying Committee, Leadership Organization and Environmental Action Group.
"I feel happy that other people are out there like me who volunteer just to make others happy," Cox said.
Cox is studying biomedical sciences and plans to minor in leadership at Central Michigan University. She is also involved in the Pre-Medicine and Osteopathic Society and A Letter for Better -- a student organization in which volunteers send written letters at random to people throughout the country.
"Tying leadership into medical is really what I'm looking forward to at CMU," said Cox, who feels experience in leadership will help her relate to patients as she aspires to be an anesthesiologist.
Opened in 1998, the Central Michigan University Leadership Institute is the premier collegiate leadership program in the Midwest, according to a news release from the college. Students in the program attend leadership development trainings, volunteer and mentor incoming students.

Adoptions between churches are becoming more common. No, not the kind of adoptions that cry in the night and wet their pants.
Where mergers of two separate churches are familiar, adoptions can be somewhat different. (Two mergers were reported on in the February issue of Church Executive.) As for adoptions, one church leader says: "Traditionally the process is started and directed by the adopting family based upon their criteria and desire to adopt. After considering all of the possibilities, the family finally chooses." But the process for Central Christian Church in the east valley of Phoenix, and CrossPoint Church of northwest Glendale, AZ – 42 miles apart – proved counter-intuitive, says Jeff Small, executive pastor of Exalt Ministries at Central Christian, where 10,000 people worship each weekend at now four locations.

Barnaby Conrad: Author, Matador, Bon Vivant, and Thorn in Hemingway's Side
March 4, 2013 | by Lesley M.M. Blume
My brief acquaintance with Barnaby Conrad, one of the bon vivant-iest of all modern bon vivant writers, happened because a stranger decided to wear a certain necklace one evening last fall. I'd been invited to a Fashion Week trunk show in one of New York City's trendier hotels. I almost didn't go. I hate trunk shows. But I did go, and the designer greeted me at the door. There was a lovely starkness about her: those gaunt cheekbones and long hands and limbs; Modigliani likely would have loved her. Dangling from a chain around her neck: a charming little brass charm in the shape of a bull.
"My father was a bullfighter," explained the designer, who'd created the charm herself. "American. You're an author, right? Then you probably know him: Barnaby Conrad, the writer."
I did not, as a matter of fact, know Barnaby Conrad. Shame on me: as it turned out, Truman Capote had known Barnaby Conrad. So, for that matter, had Noel Coward and Eva Gabor and William F. Buckley. Sinclair Lewis, John Steinbeck, Alex Haley, and James Michener: they all knew him well. And Hemingway too—although, at one point, he apparently wished that he'd never even heard of Barnaby Conrad.
The first thing that you learned about Mr. Conrad, even when you met him in abstentia: he was charming and very appetite-driven. Two weeks ago, he died at the venerable age of ninety, having authored more than thirty-five books detailing, among other topics, his descent into alcoholism, the secrets of Hemingway's Spain, and the hijinks of the international bon ton in midcentury San Francisco. He was a Renaissance man with a talent for dwelling at epicenters of rarified, exclusive realms: as one of history's few high-visibility American bullfighters (while in Spain, he went by the name "El Niño de California," i.e., the California Kid), the proprietor of a who's-who nightclub, and also as an accomplished artist (several portraits of his famous friends hang in DC's National Portrait Gallery).

Salmon Pink; Poet Food
March 2, 2012 | by Sadie Stein
Dear Masters and Mistresses of The Paris Review,
I would like to take you up on your offer for free advice. Could you, as arbiters of high taste and culture, please settle a disagreement that occurred between me and my husband this morning?
He just purchased a very nice Western-style shirt by Ralph Lauren that is clearly salmon-hued (or coral). We agree on this much. The point of disagreement comes when I lazily refer to salmon as pink. He contends that salmon is much more closely related to orange. I contend that salmon/orange/pink all derive from the primary color red and so can also be thought of as pink.
Might you have any unbiased, quasi-official information in your arsenal to settle this marital spat? Our cocktail hour this evening depends on it.
Most sincerely,
Suzanne (Austin, Texas)
For starters, why does your husband object to pink in the first place? As he doubtless knows, the association of pink with femininity is a relatively modern phenomenon, and in any case, it's the one color that can truly be said to flatter all complexions.
Those watching the pre-Oscars red carpet this past Sunday will recall that Michelle Williams's Louis Vuitton gown spawned exactly such a discourse. (Tim Gunn, to my mind, settled the debate when he came down on the side of "coral.") It's a largely arbitrary determination, at the end of the day.
Since salmon is so often twinned with the word pink, I feel safe in asserting that it is, indeed, on that color spectrum. (Although the actual flesh of the fish varies greatly in hue.) However, when you claim that orange is a shade of pink, well, you've lost me: it's a different color. So I think you both score points here.
(All that said, in my experience, whenever a man gets defensive about a garment's color and trots out "Nantucket red" or "salmon," we're dealing with pink.)
I am heading off to the last frontier (Alaska) from the crowded metropolis of New York. What books would you recommend to enhance my journey?
When I was young, my grandfather gave me a copy of Margaret Murie's Two in the Far North, an account of growing up in the Alaskan wilderness. I loved it. It's an evocative portrait of a very different time in the state, and interesting in that the author and her husband went on to found the Wilderness Society. The Yiddish Policeman's Union may bear little resemblance to anything you encounter in the actual last frontier, but it's a good read. And a friend in Juneau recommends James Michener's Alaska, Into the Wild, and, if you're a mystery fan, any of Dana Stabenow's books. (Jack London goes without saying!) Read More »

The NBA Finals matchup is set with the Miami Heat facing the Oklahoma City Thunder in what will most likely become the most-watched NBA Finals in the 21st century. You have arguably the NBA's two best players squaring off in LeBron James and Kevin Durant. And not to be outdone, this NBA Finals will also feature four of the top 25 players in the league: Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Russell Westbrook and James Harden.
It is the best of the best that the NBA has to offer.
Now that I have your attention. I do not want to discuss the teams that made it to the big showdown just yet. I would like to focus on some of the teams that did not make it.
Watching Game 7 between the Boston Celtics and the Heat, I began to think, like many others, "What Celtics team will we see next season? What does their future hold?"
Those thoughts were sparked by a conversation that my friends and I have had, which began during the first round of the NBA p/layoffs. During that time, the Heat had just finished off the New York Knicks, and the Chicago Bulls were scuffling against the Philadelphia 76ers minus an injured Derrick Rose.
We all raised a question: Which team would you rather have in the future? Two storied franchises with seemingly more questions than answers.
Time to expand the conversation and look at five NBA teams, all of which are rich in tradition and all are entering the offseason after suffering from bitter playoff defeats.
Which team would you rather be going forward?

The former director of a Middlesex County-based integrated logistic services company today admitted in federal court to stealing more than $1.3 million from the company through a multi-facted fake invoicing scheme, authorities said.
Karen Sipes, 40, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Joel Pisano in Trenton to wire fraud for her theft from Toll Global Forwarding, a multi-national company based in Carteret, said U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman. She will be sentenced on July 29, authorities said.
Reached this afternoon after the sentencing hearing, Sipes' attorney said he had no comment on Sipes' sentencing.
Authorities, citing case documents and statements made in court, said that in Sipes' job -- which she held from August 2010 to August 2012 -- Sipes had significant control over Toll Global Forwarding's accounts payable accounting and bill payment systems. For instance, Sipes, of Brick, was responsible for entering vendor transactions and invoices into Toll Global Forwarding's accounts-payable system and then paying those vendors by preparing company checks, authorities said.
In running the false invoicing scheme, authorities said, Sipes identified vendors with many transactions and invoices in Toll Global Forwarding's accounting system. Then she would then create and input phony transactions and invoices for them, before next preparing checks payable to herself, authorities said.
In addition, Sipes has admitted, authorities said, that she would also locate legitimate vendor transactions and invoices and then change the vendors' names to her name, making the checks payable to herself.
Sipes also used Toll Global Forwarding's checks to pay a family member's credit card bill, authorities said, and she accessed TGF's accounting system to remove any record of the fraudulent transactions.
The wire fraud count against Sipes carries a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison, authorities said, adding that as part of her guilty plea Sipes is also required to pay restitution of $1,335,698.93 to Toll Global Forwarding.

All lanes of I-10 East have been reopened as of 3:30 p.m. Thursday, officials said, after being shut down for more than five hours because an 18-wheeler carrying cement overturned.
The accident happened near the Siegen Lane exit in the middle of rush hour, at about 8:45 a.m., but one lane remained open until about 10:00 a.m. when the eastbound side was completely shut to allow a tow truck to pull the 18-wheeler upright. The truck had been cleared by about 2:15 p.m.
The 18-wheeler, which was carrying 76,000 pounds of wet cement, had apparently skidded off the interstate and into a grassy, muddy ditch. None of the cement spilled out and no one was injured, officials said.
Motorists were being urged to avoid the route, but as of about 2 p.m., traffic was still backed up past Essen Lane.

Reading Steve Duin's great feature story in today's O! section, Tough Lessons on Tough Turf, brought tears to my eyes -- not only in empathy and great admiration for some young people doing an incredible job trying to teach, but in remembering my own brief struggles in that field.
A thousand years or so ago, I graduated from University of Oregon with a degree in Speech and Theatre and no coherent plans for my life. Perhaps, I thought, I'd become a teacher -- I'd always done well in school, it was a comfortable place for me, it sort of made sense as a career and it would make my parents (great believers in education) very proud of me. Then I noticed that, in my dreamy way, I had failed to DO anything in college that would actually prepare me for teaching, and that apparently teachers had to be certified or something. Bummer.
Enter Lyndon Johnson (not literally) and The War on Poverty. One of its byproducts was a "Teacher Corps," less well-designed than the contemporary Teacher Corps Duin's article talks about, but with some of the same ideas: recruit idealistic college graduates, put them in classrooms in poor areas (part-time) while sending them through education courses the remainder of the day, and -- voila! -- two years later we'd have Master's degrees in "Urban Education" (whatever that was), and our magical idealism somehow would have wrought wonders in the inner city or rural domains we had graced.
Umm. Maybe. Read Duin's story for a much better picture than I could draw, of scenes perhaps grittier than I endured, but comparably grim. And then imagine an almost completely co-opted and racist school system, mixed with teachers who'd given up on teaching, a few terrific teachers from the community who resented middle-class kids trouping in full of grandiose ideas but needing shepherding themselves -- and the grinding, generations-long story of poverty, shame and desperation.
They were probably the hardest two years of my life, and I failed miserably at all my expectations. There were a few bright spots, like the play about Rosa Parks that my class composed, complete with a 10-year-old wearing whiteface, acting the part of the mean busdriver telling Rosa to "Git!" -- we ended it singing along to Nina Simone's beautiful "I Wish I Knew How it Would Feel to be Free." But mostly I caved, compromised, stumbled or missed the mark over and over again. I didn't have a clue; I didn't understand poverty, I was overwhelmed at the face of racism all around -- in other teachers, in the city's (Chicago's) politics, in the school system, buried in some of my own unconscious assumptions.
Did I learn anything? Was it valuable? Of course - for me. But I wish I had been wise enough, strong enough, prepared enough, to have been of benefit to those great kids. Caring about them wasn't enough; it's hard to know, even now, what would have been enough.
But one thing gives me hope -- the young men and women Duin describes seem stronger and wiser than I and my fellow Teacher Corps inductees of decades ago. They still call their students "my kids." Duin ends his story with a quote from fresh-faced Mike Rennard, who can still say, "I'm excited for my second year. Every horrible mistake I've made, I'm going to fix. And I've made a thousand mistakes."
I stand in awe of him, and of all such great teachers. We owe each of them a tremendous debt of gratitude.

Hi DavidThanks foryour feedback.I can add some additional info which might help your product team. The same issue exists if you try to schedule a normal task within the OS which points to a general problem within scheduling of tasks in 2008 and not just VSS scheduling.Roger

Hi Roger, Sorry for my delay. I have performed lots of research on this issue these days, I think you encounter the bug in Task scheduler that is described in the following article. This bug should have been fixed. You can request and download the corresponding Vista SP1 hotfix via the following link, and try to install and apply on the problematic server. I have test on my side, it also applies on Windows Server 2008 and it can fix the issue. The value in the Next Run Time field in Task Scheduler is incorrect on a Windows Vista-based computer http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950035 Please let me know if it fixes the issue on your machine. Hope it helps.David Shen - MSFT
October 3rd, 2008 5:54am
Hi David Thanks for your update and all the work you are doing in regards to this issue- much appreciated! I can confirm that the same patch works on my systems - I tested it on a 32bit and 64bit 2008 Server (in VM-Ware) as you might understand I am not to keen to install a VISTA patch onto a 2008 production server. This brings me to my next question/problem -> I am unable to install a patch which is not marked for 2008 onto a production server as we document everything - I am sure you understand this.Question:- Will there be a seperate patch for 2008?- Will there be a seperate KB article for 2008?or maybe more simpler- Can the current KB article be adjusted to reflect 2008 as well (of curse only if the patch is the same)?Looking forward to your answerRoger
October 7th, 2008 12:02pm
Hi Roger, Thanks for your reply. I deeply understand the concern. Since Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 are based on the same code branch same in the kernel, currently you can safely apply the hotfix on both of the system. The Knowledge Base article has not been updated to include Windows Server 2008 as applicable operating system yet. I will forward this problem to our document department to update the corresponding information. Hopefully it can be updated soon. David Shen - MSFT
October 7th, 2008 1:05pm
Hi Roger, I am glad to tell you that the KB950035 article has been updated to cover Windows Server 2008 as followed. The value in the Next Run Time field in Task Scheduler is incorrect in Windows Vista and in Windows Server 2008 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950035 Hope this can be helpful for youJ David Shen - MSFT

Over the next few weeks, legions of young Americans will turn lives full of promise into lives ruled by promissory notes. They're going to borrow whatever it takes to go to college.
In doing so, these 18-year-olds are going to assume the entire risk that somewhere along the way the grades won't pan out, the major won't fit, the job won't be available or the pay won't be great. In short, they risk that the degree they're hocking their lives to buy won't be worth what they're paying.
People who present college as a must-buy wave around statistics about lifetime earnings potential that become more suspect every day.
How many liberal arts grads do you know who can't find a decent job but who can be found by a collection agency?
The colleges, by contrast, get their money up front. No risk. If that major in Icelandic studies means you're working three lousy jobs to pay the bank, that's your tough luck, kid.
Politicians prattle about "making college affordable," by which they generally mean throwing public money at colleges (which always makes prices rise) or trying to control the prices students pay, which may slow but won't stop cost increases.
A much more effective way to attack the problem would be to ensure that colleges have some skin in the game — the more, the better — by paying them after the fact and allowing the marketplace to determine the worth of a college education, one graduate at a time.
In the mid-1950s, when Americans' mass migration through college and college's transition from leadership training for the elite to job training for everyone were just beginning, economist Milton Friedman tossed out an idea: Businesses upgrading to college-trained talent should recruit promising high school students, pay for their higher education and then amortize that investment by requiring a set number of years work from the graduate — an indenture, of sorts. We see big companies do that today for some promising employees who want post-graduate degrees.
Here's a revolutionary idea that goes Friedman one better: The contract shouldn't be between the future employer and the student. It should be between the college and the student.
The incoming freshman would agree to repay the college for his or her higher education at a fixed percentage of the student's gross earnings for a fixed number of years. Say, 2 percent of income for 25 years.
The problem of crushing student debt is immediately solved. When the student graduates and gets that first job at what should be the lowest earning level of his professional life, he will also face the lowest college repayment level: 2 percent of very little is very, very little. Twenty-five years later, when the former student is the executive VP of a multinational company, 2 percent of a whole lot will still be a very reasonable price for the happy graduate to pay and a tidy raw-dollar sum indeed for Dear Old State U.
Starting with his first paycheck, the graduate can use his earnings for things other than debt service. He can buy a reliable car, begin investing in a retirement plan, put money aside for a house, go on vacation, etc. College debt would not be the impediment it is today to getting married and starting a family.
The college, meanwhile, finally assumes some accountability.
First, the college has to choose wisely. If it contracts with marginal students who lack direction or motivation, it's likely to lose money on them. Then, the college has to make sure students don't lose their way during school. It has to make sure they learn truly useful things well. As graduation nears, the college is motivated to help the student land the best possible job at the best possible pay. It may even find ways to support the employed graduate with information and connections that make him a better (and better-paid) employee.
Failure to do such things will reduce the return on the college's investment of time and effort in the student.
Now expand those incentives across a whole system of higher education and a whole system of entry-level employment.
Colleges and universities would be quick to eliminate courses, majors, even entire academic departments that offered insufficient return on investment. Some colleges and universities, finding themselves unable to compete, would disappear. That is not a bad thing. America is way over-colleged, hence the expensive, wasteful competition on creature comforts to lure freshmen, since the quality of undergraduate education is pretty much the same everywhere.
Businesses, meanwhile, could no longer use colleges the way they do today: as talent screeners performing all sorts of interviewing, testing, ranking and weeding out at no charge to students' prospective employers but at considerable cost to potential job applicants and taxpayers.
Once colleges eliminate departments and majors that don't move graduates into jobs worth a college education, businesses will recover the skills of screening their own applicants. That would put an end to Americans' patently ludicrous notion that every job more exalted than fast-food worker requires a degree.
As the number of college-educated people available for work as retail salespeople and managers, fashion designers, bankers, clerks, secretaries, journalists(!) dwindles, those jobs would by no means go empty. They would be filled, as they used to be, by high school graduates free to give any career path a no-obligation try. If one thing doesn't work out, they'll try another, without the financial pressure of having mortgaged their lives to a college.
If the college-equals-earnings crowd is right, they should see no risk whatsoever in adopting my 2 percent solution. The marketplace should prove them right and make colleges wealthier than ever. But they'd fight it tooth and nail because they know for a lot of youngsters, college is a false promise.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not anti-college; I'm anti-racketeering. If it were up to me, we'd pull the whole money-burning structure down and replace it with something efficient and useful.
But it's not up to me. It's up to colleges that are rolling in dough and yet are absolved of all responsibility when vast numbers of graduates never get jobs related to their academic majors and take decades to get out of debt.

Friday August 31st
7:31 a.m. - The coffee I am drinking this morning is not doing much to combat the adult beverages consumed just a few hours ago. Exhibit 42c as proof that I am no longer a college student.
11:27 a.m. - After purchasing gifts for the wife and kids, my Dad and I head over to The Corner Room in my continuing tour of established Penn State eateries and pubs. Dad strikes up a conversation with The Corner Room's greeter Emma who informs us that she has worked at the restaurant for over 50 years. During the 1950s, she said she would serve then assistant coach Joe Paterno on a regular basis.
12:23 p.m. - As we drive around Beaver Stadium, the newly named Nittanyville looks somewhat vacant with only 4 to 5 tents and no noticeable activity. I am not sure if this will change later in the day or is this the new norm. We make the turn to what is the east side of the stadium, the side where the Paterno Statue resided. In its place are now grass and trees. Tied to one of those trees is the famous cardboard cutout of Joe Paterno. It highlights a common theme in town. Joe is gone but certainly not forgotten with many people are wearing pro Paterno shirts and hats.
12:37 p.m. - No trip to Penn State would be complete (at least for me) without a trip to the Berkey Creamery and the purchase of ice cream to bring back home.
1:09 p.m. - Nap time or as Adam Sandler's Billy Madison said, "Need sleepy."
7:12 – Football Eve is underway at Beaver Stadium. I would estimate there are at least 15,000 here for the event. ESPN's Mark Schwarz is situated behind the south endzone goal post doing a report. Hey isn't he the guy that held onto evidence in the Bernie Fine Syracuse case? Just saying. The always energetic men's basketball coach Pat Chambers is the first of what will be a parade of coaches representing several of Penn State's athletic programs. It was a typical Penn State pep rally with cheerleaders, dance team, and Blue Band. Prior to Bill O'Brien's address to the crowd, the new pump up video was played on the scoreboard. It was a somewhat looser look compared to the slickly produced videos that Guido D'Elia created. Personal preference, I would take D'Elia's work over this video. O'Brien gave a short talk and that was it. I has hoping for more from the new coach but in fairness his speech was about the same length of the ones Paterno gave in his later years. I was out of the stadium at 7:42. Saturday is tailgating and the season opener.

Before speaking, Chowdhury was presented with an honorary doctorate of humane letters.
In his speech, Chowdhury focused on the importance of fostering a "sustainable movement for the culture of peace."
"Today is a day of significant achievement," Chowdhury said. "You are seeing the rewards of your hard work."
Chowdhury implored the graduates to use the education they received at St. Peter's to better the world and encourage peace.

By YURI KAGEYAMA, AP Business Writer
TOKYO (AP) — Honda Motor Co. is recalling 304,000 vehicles globally for air-bags that may inflate with too much pressure in a crash, sending metal and plastic pieces flying and potentially cause injuries or death.
Honda said there have been 20 accidents so far related to this problem, including two deaths in the U.S. in 2009.
The Japanese automaker announced the recall Friday, which affects the Accord, Civic, Odyssey, Pilot, CR-V and other models, manufactured in 2001 and 2002.
The recall spans 273,000 vehicles in the U.S., some 27,000 in Canada, nearly 2,000 vehicles in Japan and another 2,000 in other countries. It affected 359 vehicles in Europe — 200 in Germany, 158 in Israel and one in Great Britain, according to Honda.
The latest recall is an expansion of recalls for the same problem in 2008, and again carried out in 2009, as well as last year. The recall now covers about 2 million vehicles worldwide, according to Tokyo-based Honda.
Honda spokesman Hajime Kaneko said the cause for the latest recall was the use of incorrect material in the chemical used to deploy air bags.
The initial cause of the recall was excessive moisture in the inflator propellant, which is part of what inflates the air bag.
But that problem was found later to affect more vehicles than initially estimated, as incidents didn't stop, and the recall was expanded to account for the possibility that the problem was caused by a defective stamping machine used during production, he said.
Honda is extremely sorry about the recalls but believes the problem has now been taken care of, with no more recalls linked to this problem expected, he said.
Also included in the latest recall are 912 air-bag service parts sold for installation in vehicles for collision repair and other reasons, Honda said.
To determine if your vehicle is affected, Honda owners can go to www.recalls.honda.com or call (800) 999-1009 and select option 4; Acura owners can go to www.recalls.acura.com or call (800) 382-2238 and select option 4.

When will the Nike Zoom Revis hit Nike iD? Sneakerheads would certainly welcome that option considering the Revis is a rather pliable shoe in terms of colorway creativity, but we'll have to settle for the sick retail varieties and the yet-to-be-released "PE" selections like this clean Royal Blue/White colorway seen on-feet here. Considering the Revis is a Training shoe at first, we can certainly expect more team-based colorways to be churned out for the next few months, but a Nike Zoom Revis iD is something that many folks would be on board with. Check out another angle below and stay tuned for more Revis updates.

Your article ŌĆ£MUN medical school researchers receive national honourŌĆØ in the Sept. 24 issue certainly reflects well on the talented recipients of this honour.
Interestingly, your article first reveals the names of those honoured thusly: ŌĆ£Jane Green and Dr. Proton Rahman.ŌĆØ
Readers not familiar with the individuals might infer that Jane Green does not hold a doctoral degree. She does, although her degree is different than Dr. RahmanŌĆÖs. Dr. Rahman earned the M.D. degree and is a medical practitioner as well as being a teacher and researcher. Dr. Green earned the PhD and is a teacher and researcher.

A federal trial is scheduled to begin in January for a Dauphin County man accused of attempting to have sex with children.
Matthew Baratucci, 29, of Lower Paxton Township, is facing a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted. The minimum sentence he could face is 10 years.
Baratucci is accused of contacting at least two women with online advertisements and asking them to arrange babysitting jobs in which he could come and have sex with the children involved. The girls he attempted to meet on one occasion were ages 5 and 9, authorities said.
State charges were withdrawn Tuesday against Baratucci after he was indicted earlier this month on federal charges. Typically when federal charges are filed, the state charges are either dismissed or deferred until the federal case is resolved, United States Attorney Peter J. Smith said Wednesday.
Baratucci pled not guilty Nov. 19 to the federal charges. Jury selection in his trial is set to begin Jan. 6 in U.S. Middle District Court.
Investigators with the state Attorney General's Child Predator Unit on Oct. 14 first caught wind of Baratucci's plans after being forwarded a complaint that was submitted to Penbrook police, according to charging documents.
A woman with a cleaning service advertisement on Craigslist reported to police that Baratucci had obtained her phone number through a friend and asked her if she could set up a "car date" with a child between the ages of 4 and 11.
An investigator, posing as a friend of the woman, later exchanged a series of text messages with Baratucci in which he asked to be set up with an 8-year-old girl for the purpose of having sex. Baratucci then shied away from further discussions after the investigator refused Baratucci's request to send a nude photograph of an 8-year-old girl.
It then became apparent that federal authorities were also looking into Baratucci after he tried to contact another woman with an online massage business.
Baratucci asked the woman to set up a daycare or babysitting service so that he could have access to children — a similar request that he also made to the woman who initially reported him to Penbrook police.
Investigators then set in motion a plot in which they took over the initial woman's cell phone and sent Baratucci text messages. Posing as the woman, an investigator told Baratucci he had set up a babysitting job where two young girls would be present.
A meeting was then arranged at a local mall and Baratucci was apprehended. He told police at the time of his arrest that he was texting a female to set her up after she agreed to provide kids to him for the purpose of sex.

A Monroe teen was hospitalized in critical condition Sunday after his car ran off the road in Monroe County's Raisinville Township.
Webb Drew, 17, was driving west along West Dunbar Road, between Geiger and Martell roads, when the crash happened about 7 p.m. Saturday, Michigan State Police said. Authorities said speed appeared to be a factor.
The vehicle came to a halt in a ditch after striking a fire hydrant and then a tree, according to state police. The driver's side door of the car took the impact from the tree, authorities said.
The teen suffered head and other injuries and was flown to Toledo Hospital, where he had surgery Saturday, authorities said.

Police were not able to confirm the gender of the body found by a contractor at the Douglass-Harrison Homes on Barclay Street, authorities said.
An autopsy will be performed this week, said Kathy Carter, a spokeswoman for the Essex County Prosecutor's Office.
Earlier today, a one-alarm fire ripped through three floors and the roof of the Douglass-Harrison Homes, not far from where the body was found, authorities said.
No one was injured in the blaze, which erupted shortly after noon, said Newark Fire Chief Michael Lalor. An investigation has been launched, but initial evidence points to materials workers were using to remove asbestos from the building.

November 12, 2012, PORTLAND OREGON
Medley, Multnomah Village's newest cafe, regularly schedules contests, taste-offs, drawings, and other events as a way of inviting an interactive relationship with the neighboring public. Past events have included an Ugly Tie contest, a drawing for a meal for two, and a Portland area Pumpkin Muffin Taste-Off (still under way). To celebrate its first Hallowe'en in the village, Medley held a Hallowe'en costume contest for children Trick-or-Treating in the Multnomah Village business district on the afternoon of Hallowe'en (a very successful event organized by the Multnomah Village Business Association).
As a veritable sea of children stopped at participating businesses to trick-or-treat, Medley employees enjoyed a darling procession of superheros, ladybugs, pumpkins, Snow Whites, even a locomotive. But it took two girls to win the prize offered by Medley for best costume. Leda Sugneta and Lily Lum--together--were dressed as a box of Nerds candy. However, individually, each represented only one half of the box. Only when they stood side by side was the costume revealed in its entirety. The two will enjoy a Tea Time for Two at Medley as soon as their busy schedules allow.
Medley can release a photo of Leda and Lily, should a formal request be made.
