State Responds on Shoreline Master Program
The state Department of Ecology has responded by letter to the City Council about
proposed changes for updating its Shoreline Master Program. The response agrees with most of the
Council's proposed changes but calls for a site-specific assessment to establish marsh buffers
prior to any future development in the Harbor Square area.
The City's existing Shoreline Master Program (SMP), adopted in 2000, does not include any part of
the Harbor Square area, but the proposed SMP update does. Ecology had required the City to include
this change as part of the SMP update. However, as the update was being drafted, controversy arose
about the specific width of buffers to be required for the area when development occurs.
Until an updated SMP is approved and adopted, the 2000 shoreline plan applies. Ecology has asked
the City to respond by March 30 to its new letter.
The City Council is scheduled to discuss this issue at its January 24 meeting. In Ecology's
letter, two options are offered for providing a more site-specific approach and a scientific study
for the Urban IV Mixed Use Area, which includes Harbor Square. Agency staff have noted that the
City could choose either of these options or some combination that achieves similar results.
The proposed SMP addresses shoreline areas in Edmonds that extend 5.2 miles along the Puget Sound
and also adjacent to Lake Ballinger. It uses updated scientific information to set requirements for
future shoreline activities. Development in all shoreline areas would be subject to newer
regulations, including for shorelines, environment, and stormwater. A copy of Ecology's letter is at this link.

Worried about the growing share of biofuels in the fuel market, the oil industry is resorting to "scare tactics" and "bogus E15 studies" to undermine the Renewable Fuel Standard, said representatives of the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association and other groups in a briefing for congressional staffers. The oil industry's efforts to maintain its monopoly come at the expense of consumers, said IRFA Executive Director Monte Shaw. "Renewable fuels benefit the American consumer by lowering gas prices, creating American jobs and decreasing our dependence on foreign oil," Shaw said.

The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit recently ruled that the Dodd-Frank Act's prohibition on retaliation against whistleblowers does not apply extraterritorially. In affirming the dismissal of the case on extraterritoriality grounds, the court declined in Liu v. Siemens AG to address another issue that has attracted attention: whether a person qualifies as a whistleblower for purposes of the antiretaliation provision if he or she has disclosed the alleged misconduct only within the corporation, rather than to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Factual Background
The plaintiff in the Liu case – a citizen and resident of Taiwan – had worked as a compliance officer for a division of a Chinese company that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a German corporation whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The plaintiff claimed to have discovered improper payments to officials in North Korea and China. He reported the alleged conduct to his superiors, met with the German company's officials in China, and then was allegedly demoted and ultimately fired.
The plaintiff later reported the alleged conduct to the SEC, charging that the German company had violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. He then sued in the Southern District of New York, alleging that he had been fired because of his whistleblowing, in violation of the Dodd-Frank Act's antiretaliation provision. The court dismissed the case, holding that (i) the alleged facts as pled involved only extraterritorial conduct, which was not within the statute's reach, and (ii) the complaint failed to establish that the plaintiff had made a disclosure to the SEC that was "required or protected" by the enumerated statutes.
The Second Circuit's Decision
The Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal, reaching only the extraterritoriality issue. The court held that, to state a claim, the plaintiff needed to plead that either (i) the alleged conduct involved a domestic application of the antiretaliation provision or (ii) Congress intended the provision to apply extraterritorially. The plaintiff's claim failed on both grounds.
The court made short shrift of the first alternative, holding that "this case is extraterritorial by any reasonable definition." "The whistleblower, his employer, and the other entities involved in the alleged wrongdoing are all foreigners based abroad, and the whistleblowing, the alleged corrupt activity, and the retaliation all occurred abroad." The fact that the German parent's shares are listed on the NYSE was irrelevant; the federal securities laws do not apply extraterritorially to a foreign company's foreign conduct merely because that company has issued U.S.-listed securities.
As for the second alternative: the court ruled that nothing in the Dodd-Frank Act's text or legislative history suggests that "Congress intended the antiretaliation provision to regulate the relationships between foreign employers and their foreign employees working outside the United States." The "presumption against extraterritoriality" and "the absence of any direct evidence of a congressional intent to apply the relevant provision extraterritorially" thus defeated the plaintiff's claim.
Liu's Implications
The Second Circuit's decision clarifies some issues and leaves others unresolved for future litigation.
First, the court clearly held that the antiretaliation provision does not apply extraterritorially. However, because the facts of this case so clearly involved only extraterritorial conduct, the court had no need to consider the dividing line between domestic and extraterritorial conduct.
Second, the court saw no reason to reach another basis for the District Court's decision, an issue that has divided the courts: whether purely intracorporate whistleblowing suffices to trigger the antiretaliation provision, or whether the whistleblower must actually disclose to the SEC. The Fifth Circuit has held that the antiretaliation provision does not apply unless and until the whistleblower has gone to the SEC; some District Courts have disagreed. The Eighth Circuit is currently considering whether to grant an interlocutory appeal on that issue.
Third, the Second Circuit, in passing, seems to have raised questions about the SEC's construction of Dodd-Frank's whistleblower bounty provisions as having international reach. But the court did not need to decide that issue, because it held that, even if the bounty regulations can apply to whistleblowers located abroad, "it would not follow that Congress intended the antiretaliation provision to apply similarly."

It was clear that he was dismissing half of the American people, but the problem was in defining his 47%, he never could, you can't either.
Aside from politics, many conservatives and Americans of all stripes blanched at yet another glimpse into Romney's exotic isolation from Americanism "[M]y job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.".
Not exactly Reaganesque.
Oh I could, but wont bother here with you.
Romney was an absolute GOPe scum, but this was a bad rap and you know it.
It is not disdain to recognize that there is probably nothing you can do to make the 47% of the population that is on the public dole and never voted for a republican in their life, pull the lever for a republican.

Why Joe Block is important for the Brewers, WTMJ
On Friday, the Milwaukee Brewers and WTMJ-AM (Radio 620) announced that Joe Block would join Hall of Fame announcer Bob Uecker in the radio announcing booth next season.
Block replaces Cory Provus, who left to become the play-by-play man for the Minnesota Twins. He was selected over approximately 150 candidates from across the country, according to Brewers officials.
Finding the right play-by-play man - either on television or radio - is a critical decision for a professional sports franchise and the flagship radio station. Once spring training starts in a few months, Block and Uecker will be on the air, bringing the Brewers to the tens of thousands of fans who follow the team and the game.
Fans always have an opinion about the TV and radio announcers who broadcast the games. If they don't like the way Block delivers the game, or they sense there is no chemistry between Block and Uecker, they will tune out. And if that occurs, that is a problem for WTMJ and the Brewers.
That's why both the Brewers and WTMJ made sure that Block had a chance to meet and interact with Uecker. As Block reported, he and Uecker hit it off when they had dinner in Phoenix.
Uecker is a treasure for the Brewers and is in the conversation when it comes to talking about the great announcers in baseball. While he can frustrate some fans by not describing all of the action on the field, the reality is that he is much a part of summer in Wisconsin as brats and beer.
Before Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun came to the Brewers, Uecker was, in fact, the only real rock star the Brewers had. Uecker still draws attention whenever he shows up in National League cities, and fans still love his Mr. Baseball persona.
Now Uecker has a new partner to break in. Block will benefit from having a broadcast partner who played the game, knows the game well and tells great stories during the broadcast.
If that isn't enough, the fact that the Brewers are the defending National League Central Division champions and have added new players should give Block and Uecker plenty to talk about.
We'll check back in a few months to see how Block and Uecker do.

After the critical pasting M Night Shyamalan's fantasy film received, no one can be holding out great hopes for the accompanying game, which is good because this 3D actionadventure offers little to recommend it. Graphics and animation are poor, while the fighting is clunky and can frequently descend into buttonbashing. The puzzles are simplistic too, although at least there are three playable characters, offering some variety. As with most video games based on films, it is likely that fans of the movie will find something to enjoy here – but if we're being honest, there won't be too many of those.

The West Bend School Board has unanimously approved a two-year contract for Ted Neitzke, currently the school system's assistant superintendent, to take over as superintendent of the school district in July.
Neitzke replaces Patricia Herdrich, who is leaving West Bend after six years in the post to become the superintendent of the Menomonee Falls School District.
"With several other changes occurring simultaneously, the added benefits of Ted's familiarity with staff and current strategic planning makes him an ideal choice to lead our district forward," School Board President Randy Marquardt said in a news release issued by the district late Thursday. "He has a passion for education, embraces educational innovation, has strong leadership qualities . . . and has respect within the organization and the entire community."
The two-year contract includes a $148,000 annual salary for Neitzke's first year of service. He will be required to move his family to West Bend.
Neitzke has worked for the West Bend School District since 2004, when he was hired as principal of Badger Middle School. He became the district's assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction in 2009.

When a service project comes full circlePosted: March 30, 2014 Filed under: Community Service, Lower School Leave a comment
After a successful division-wide new sock drive in October (462 pairs of socks collected), a mega food drive where over 3000 food items were collected for a local food pantry in November, and a touching adopt-a-family initiative that supported families in crisis in December, we decided that January's Lower School community service project should not involve a "drive" of sorts but instead something that Lower School children themselves could do without parent help or monetary support.
After searching for such a project, I stumbled upon "Hugs for Soldiers," a program "dedicated to offering comforts from home and brightening a Soldier's day with a care package, card or letter of encouragement."
Here is an excerpt from a story written about this project:
A January community service project hatched in the Lower School has transformed into a school-wide initiative as students of all ages are beginning to craft and create valentine cards and messages for troops overseas.
From there it took on a life of its own – including the decision to earmark Hamden Hall's cards and letters to Hamden Hall alumnus Matthew Peterson, who graduated in 2003 and is currently a captain in the U.S. Army. Matthew was deployed in early January to Afghanistan for eight months – his second tour in that country. He was also deployed to Iraq for one year. His mom, Cookie Peterson, is a former second-grade teacher at Hamden Hall who retired in June 2010 after 17 years. Many Hamden Hall faculty continue to keep in touch with Cookie, including Sue Bennett and Sandi Cunningham (with whom Cookie taught second grade for 11 years), who are helping coordinate the Hugs for Soldiers initiative.
So, after Sue Bennett, our Lower School art teacher explained the project to our students as assembly, students began creating the most beautiful and heartfelt cards and notes to be sent to Matt and his unit. At the end of January, we accumulated over 150 cards and they were sent on their way through the Hugs for Soldiers organization.
In early March, we received this beautiful note along with pictures from Matt and his unit. We shared these at assembly with our students. It was an emotional experience for everyone in attendance and our students sat with wide-eyes as they saw their valentines in the hands of a soldier stationed in Afghanistan. And it was so powerful to have a service project come full circle.
Pretty amazing!

April Community Service: Take care of our earth!Posted: March 29, 2014 Filed under: Community Service, Lower School Leave a comment
Part of Hamden Hall's mission is to instill a sense of social responsibility. It is with this in mind that, since October, the Lower School has participated in a community service/ service learning project each month. The project, its goals, and follow-up information is shared with students at during our weekly assembly. These projects have ranged from school-wide food drives to grade level project such as this one. Our 6th graders have been true leaders throughout the year and have helped to promote and support these initiatives. What amazing role models for our younger students!
Here are some ideas that I shared with Lower School teachers for April's Community Service, which focuses on taking care of the earth! Teachers can choose one of these or come up with their own project. They are encouraged to work with other grade levels and have students involved in the decision-making process. I thought others might find this information useful.
Used Book Collection
Run a gently used kid's book drive to keep books out of the waste stream. Read to Grow!
Ronald McDonald House Pop Tabs Collection
"Collecting pop tabs is a great way to teach kids about philanthropy and the importance of recycling, and raise funds to help children and their families at the same time. Some of our Chapters raise thousands of dollars with their pop tab collections."
Nike Reuse a Shoe Program
Nike Reuse-a-Shoe takes worn out athletic shoes and grinds them down to create a new material called Nike Grind, which is used to make high-quality sports surfaces including courts, turf fields, tracks and more.
Nature Walk/ Clean up!
Walk to a local park and help clean up/ recycle any trash found along the way.

Plan a Lesson/ Activity for a younger grade about Earth Day
Teach others about taking care of Mother Earth! Create a lesson/ read a story/ do a craft from recycled materials.
Educate our Community!
Make flyers to hang around campus to educate others on how to take better care of the earth! Check out these tips from Time for Kids.
Letter Writing
In celebration of Earth Day, have your students research some environmentalists who have made major contributions to our planet. A good starting point would be to view the people listed on the Ecology Hall of Fame. Have each student choose one person. After researching the person's achievements, students can then write letters to the environmentalists asking for their opinions on a current environmental issue or to share ideas on how to protect the earth. Students can write a friendly or business letter using the Letter Generator. After printing the letters, have students turn their letters into letter poems using the Letter Poem Creator, which will help them change their letters into poetic form. Once the poems are finished, host an Earth Day poetry reading-outdoors if possible. (from Read Write Think)
Early Childhood Service Learning Curriculum for the Environment and Earth Day
There's some ideas here for some of the younger grades including:
Turning Trash into Treasures
Creating Recycling Bins
Recycling Superheroes
Recycled Bird Houses
Transportation & Pollution
Musical Instruments
Cut the Pollution Card
Green 100 Lesson & Project Ideas
Encourage children to write and perform an original skit about caring for the Earth. Let each child or group choose their own topic which can range from not littering to preservation issues. Video the performances and let the children watch their own skits to reinforce the ideas they shared. Students can even perform it at assembly!
Also, here's a link to Earth Day Books for Kids.
If you have any additional ideas, please share them!
Pi Day 2014Posted: March 16, 2014 Filed under: Teaching and Learning Leave a comment
This year's pi day celebration was awesome! Students really enjoyed celebrating, especially since it was the last day of school before Spring break. We started our class watching this video, talked a little bit about the history of pi, and then we had the "pi recitation" contest. (see video below) This year, I was astounded at how many students got "into it!" The winner, a 6th grader, recited pi to the 82nd place! The 2nd place student made it to the 61st place and the 3rd place student recited to the 42nd place. Pretty amazing!! We then went on this scavenger hunt. When students returned to class, we calculated the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of each of the circles they measured and most got "a little more than 3!" We ended with eating PIE for dessert. We had a blast!
No longer "Acting!"Posted: March 11, 2014 Filed under: Lower School 7 Comments
I've never been good at acting anyway!
I am so excited that it's official. I feel privileged and honored to be able to continue to work with such an amazing faculty, awesome students, and their families in our Lower School. Sometimes life has a funny way of sending you down a path that was not originally planned. The result for me, in this case, has been life changing on many levels. I am looking forward to all that lies ahead! 🙂
#NAISAC14: Opening General Session with John Chubb and Lyn HewardPosted: March 2, 2014 Filed under: NAISAC14, Professional Development 1 Comment
The official opening of NAISAC14 was filled with excitement and energy. John Chubb's first remarks as President were critically analyzed by everyone in the room. I was impressed with his tone and enthusiasm and liked what he had to say. And while I felt Lyn Heward's (COO and Creative Content Division Director for Cirque du Soleil) talk went on a bit too long, she offered some inspiring words on creativity and risk-taking. Both helped set the tone for the conference opening. I was a little disappointed, given the theme was "Dare to Explore and Discover" and we were so close to the Kennedy Space Center, that an inspiring talk from an astronaut was not on the opening agenda.
Here are my notes:
#NAISAC14: The Distraction Addiction w/ author Alex Soojung-Kim PangPosted: March 2, 2014 Filed under: NAISAC14, Professional Development 2 Comments
Although I couldn't stay for this entire session because I needed to set up for my presentation, Alex's talk was intriguing and I didn't want to leave. His book is now on my "to read" list. Being that I consider myself a self-proclaimed "multi-tasker," I really had a lot to listen to. I also admit that, since this session, I am more aware of the fact that I do hold my breath when my email is loading… and I know that I look at my phone more than 150 times a day. #beinghonest
Here are my tweets from this session:
#NAISAC14: Teachers UnpluggedPosted: March 1, 2014 Filed under: NAISAC14, Professional Development 1 Comment
Session leaders Jenni Swanson Voorhees, Chris Bigenho, Jill Brown, Liz Davis, Sophie Halliday and Linda Swarlis led us in an amazing conversation where WE got to choose the topics!
Here's the description from the conference blog:
"Connect with colleagues and join innovative conversations in this new participant-driven session for teachers. Based on the "unconference" format, this session offers you the opportunity to drive discussion topics, share knowledge and passions, and find solutions to problems. Learn from colleagues and share your expertise with others. After a fun introduction to the open session format, join conversations on topics that you choose."
The round table discussion I was involved in was entitled: "How to stop doing what we know we should not be doing." I have very few tweets from this session because it was hard to tweet, talk. and listen at the same time. I didn't want to miss anything that anyone in this circle was saying! We were all noting that we wished that there were more sessions of this type throughout the conference– as opposed to a "sage on the stage" model. Our own professional development should model what we want our classroom to look like!
My favorite tweet is the first one in this list! As a new person to the Lower School world, I couldn't agree with it more!

Chaz Bono: I've Lost 10 Lbs. Through Dancing With the Stars
Chaz Bono won over the critics on Monday night's Dancing With the Stars and as the LGBT activist tells Us Weekly, he's on his way to winning the battle of the bulge.
"I have definitely noticed a change [in my body]," Bono, 42, told Us backstage at Monday's show. "I'm down 10 lbs. on the scale and I put on some muscle so that makes it easier to dance. I'm feeling great."
PHOTOS: Incredible DWTS body makeovers
As DWTS' first-ever transgender contestant, Bono knew he had a lot to live up to during his first routine, a lively cha cha with pro partner Lacey Schwimmer.
US POLL: Who are you rooting for on DWTS?
"I did the best I could. I wanted to have fun and be entertaining and I think I achieved that," Bono -- who earned a respectable 17 out of 30 points -- told I have been working hard! I'm proud of myself."
And so were the DWTS judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli! "You really came out with the right attitude, [and] you came out to enjoy yourself," Goodman told Bono, dubbing the celeb "Razzmatazz Chaz."
PHOTOS: Meet the cast of Dancing With the Stars' 13th season
Bono and his 11 celeb DWTS competitors will learn if they'll progress on the series when the show's first elimination episode airs Tuesday.

Opening HTML5 YouTube videos (and possibly HTML5 video in general) make heap-unclassified numbers go up quite a bit. Closing the relevant tab does eventually make heap-unclassified go back to normal (although it might take a while), so this is likely caused by missing memory reporters somewhere. Interestingly, the amount of memory consumed seems to be related to the player size.
Can be reproduced with latest 32-bit Nightly on Windows 7 64-bit. Haven't done enough testing on other OSes or with older builds, but I'm pretty sure the issue has been around for some time and can possibly be reproduced on Linux as well.
Here are some of my measurements (done with Nightly 2012-04-11 win32 on Windows 7 64-bit):
19,363,448 B (16.58%) ── heap-unclassified (normal, after some light browsing)
31,602,376 B (22.44%) ── heap-unclassified (video open, small player size)
56,717,092 B (34.24%) ── heap-unclassified (video open, large player size)
Test cases:
1. Start Firefox and open about:memory. Take note of heap-unclassified numbers.
2. Open HTML5 YouTube video.
3. Update about:memory and take note of heap-unclassified numbers.
4. Change video player size to small/large.
5. Update about:memory and take note of heap-unclassified numbers.
I assume this is a WebM video, in which case this bug is likely to be a dup of bug 682216.

It is Sunday and it is hot.
Another of those long summer days,
humidity and haze and the eastern seaboard
is languid, sublime, the all of us hardly moving.
We take to the shade of our high-peeked rooms,
windows fitted with double fans and silver-boxed
air-conditioners that take in wet air and spit it back
crisp and cool: breathable, bearable.
It is Sunday and it is hot.
We are listening to Bob Dylan and watching
Eat the Document and wishing we could know
for just one moment what it is to be him, though
I imagine it is like being anybody, only not quite.
It is Sunday and it is hot.
I put on my dark Ray Bans, the same ones as Dylan,
the ones the doctor tells me tells me I can even wear
indoors because I am epileptic and they serve a medical purpose
and therefore are not queer, by this I mean, totally effected.
It is Sunday and it is hot.
We are close, entwined, breathing in
the scent of skin and I know this is how
it begins, each of us waiting for the second-hand
tic when it is right to make the first move,
to throw the first hallowed kiss.
It is Sunday and it is hot.
We make love and I make all the noises
while, otherwise, the neighborhood is silent
and in this moment now we have each other.
We are in love: we are married and it is good.
It is Sunday, not Monday.
Let's not think of morning yet.
It is Sunday it is hot.
I have all that I need.

Company-led Initiatives Seek to Narrow Gap in STEM Fields
Washington – The skills gap is real and is a significant problem, the CEOs of major U.S. corporations said today at an event in Washington hosted by Business Roundtable and Change the Equation. The finding is part of a survey of the memberships on U.S. STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) Skills, conducted earlier this year.
According to the 126 CEOs who responded, key points that emerged included:
- Ninety-seven percent reported the skills gap is a problem;
- Approximately 60 percent of job openings require basic STEM literacy, and 42 percent require advanced STEM skills;
- Twenty-eight percent say that at least half of their new entry-level hires lack basic STEM literacy;
- Sixty-two percent of CEOs report problems finding qualified applicants for jobs requiring advanced computer/IT knowledge;
- Forty-one percent report problems finding qualified applicants for jobs requiring advanced quantitative knowledge; and
- Over the next five years, employers will need to hire nearly 1 million employees with basic STEM literacy and more than 600,000 employees with advanced STEM knowledge.
"The skills gap is a serious challenge for America's businesses and our entire economy," said John Engler, President of Business Roundtable. "If our businesses and economy are going to compete and succeed, then we must address this crisis; CEOs are speaking out on the issue, pursuing solutions in their own companies and urging that America develop a national strategy to prepare our workers for these STEM jobs."
"STEM skills are critical, not only for today's jobs, but will be essential to tomorrow's opportunities as well," said Linda P. Rosen, CEO of Change the Equation. "CEOs know that ensuring a STEM-literate workforce must begin with a strong K-12 pipeline."
Jamie Dimon, Chairman & CEO, JPMorgan Chase & Co.; Eric Spiegel, President & CEO, Siemens Corporation; Rex Tillerson, Chairman & CEO, Exxon Mobil Corporation; and Maggie Wilderotter, Chairman & CEO, Frontier Communications Corporation, addressed the survey findings and what their companies are doing to broaden the STEM pool. Jerry Seib, Washington Bureau Chief for The Wall Street Journal, moderated the discussion.
This survey was conducted from Sept. 9 – Nov. 6, 2014. Overall, 126 out of 232 companies responded, including 116 of 203 Business Roundtable member CEOs (57%) and 34 of 63 Change the Equation member CEOs (54%).

Eva Lewarne is in The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS online gallery at Manhattan Arts NY. http://www.healing-power-of-art.org/eva-lewarne/Among the many awards she received is a Grand Prix Medal in a Painting Festival in Avignon, France. Her art was shown at the Grand Palais in Paris and she has had exhibitions worldwide. And in 2016 she received an AWARD OF EXCELLENCE from Manhattan Arts International http://www.manhattanarts.com/award-of-excellence-winners/
Eva Lewarne BA AOCAD
I was born in Poland but have been living now in Canada for many years. I graduated from OCAD after doing a Psychology and English major at the University of Toronto. But really, I have always painted. It was my first and last love.
In the last few of years, I have received a Medal from France in a Painting Festival in Avignon. (Grand Prix). Not my first there. Also I have shown at the Grand Palais in Paris, before that, where all my work was stolen and the Paris police deemed it to be an honor as that is where Picasso was discovered.
Photography is my second passion.]When I graduated from OCAD (Ontario College of Art) my initial paintings were large surrealistic pieces like "Fool" which is on my image inventory. It depicts the life cycle of a woman; we are born, we grow up and then die, in between we drink coffee and shop, or so it seemed to me at the time. Also I had a number of what seemed like prophetic dreams back then, one of which was awakening to a city under water. I remember thinking in my dream that as long as I could still get a good cup of coffee, all would be well.
From there I went on to paint "Birdwomen". And quite honestly I don't know where that theme came from as I had no knowledge of Aboriginal culture at the time and only discovered it much later on. However at the Met one day I fell onto a show of Birdwomen sculptures from Africa and Europe and realized that they even carved them in Poland during the earth religion era. I guess what I was trying to say was that we need to go back to seeing art as related to spirituality and life, not just an aesthetic idea. Now of course this is quite a common theme. This was almost 20 years ago.
That series was popular in France, and I was offered a show at the Sorbonne in Paris and Bordeaux. A French writer said that his first novel was inspired by my paintings.
I also have always loved to observe people in subways and trains and try to see underneath their personas. I did a number of portraits at the time trying to capture this. Then followed many paintings about Masks, the ones we hide behind and the ones that inspire us.
I started to practice Zen Meditation for many years after and that spurred a series called "Silence". Also at the same time I began to be interested in abstract art and tried to harmonize the real with the minimal. I had a solo show with this series in New York, Jadite Gallery.
Now for quite awhile I have returned to simplified figures, people I meet in my art community, Queen West, young and old "Hip" people, the ones who move into an area because the artists are there, the ones who proudly walk their dogs who take on their owner's expression. ("Man walking dog" and "Man With Dog") "Peace" and "Ole for Aging" indicate my mood about aging.
As long as I can be involved in art-making I am a happy camper no matter how the clock ticks on.

Best way to root a phone
I just tried one way of rooting my Moto G. It was ok but I didnt realize at the time that there wasnt a way to easily back out the rooting process. Is there a way of rooting the phone that is the most versatile/safest ? With what I had to do on finding the firmware files needed for my phone, didnt know if there was a process to backup the files currently used by the phone to make the process of rerooting the phone a little easier ?

We had a boat ride up the river to some spectacular views. Tried the "healing" mud. Went to the outlook where you could see both the Ocean and the River. Very awesome!
A small alternative to the more well-known beaches in Alagoas. We just passed it by on a trip, took a bath and were exalted of the beauty of the place, where the river runs out in the sea. We will definitely return!
This place is amazing, restaurants in the beach complex, food is excellent and you will find the sea, and also the river in the same place. Wonderful.
The sea and the river together, to swim in river its excellent, the water is very, very calm. I walked away from the restaurant during one hour to appreciate the landscape .

The Downside of Lace Gowns
It's time for another Virtual Coffee Date Thursday, over on the 'book, chicks! Grab a latte and pull up a chair would ya?
Mind the branches though, ok :) xoxo Photo via Amanda Wilcher
9 thoughts on "The Downside of Lace Gowns"
It's amazing how many things a lace gown can "pick up!"
ha, cute picture! :)
I just can't get enough of your wedding pictures, even though little moments that are captured, like this…you still look elegant, graceful and beautiful! Off to check out the Coffee Date Thursday now! Yay! :)
You'll always be my favorite bride. xoxox
I had a lace gown also…and we had photos in my family's shearing shed, throughout our farm in potato fields and at the local sheep saleyards. Needless to say I gave up pretty early trying to keep my lace train pristine! And then it started BUCKETING rain and thunder and lightning, got very, very wet and muddy. Luckily I had changed into my cowboy boots (naturally) and just stomped around a bit in the mud! You should've seen my dress the next day!!!
I got an ice cream truck as a surprise and wedding gift for my ice cream obsessed husband to arrive at the church after the ceremony. I was waiting for the look of amazement and happiness on his face…but he thought the ice cream guy had turned up to make money off our wedding and got angry! I had to explain it all to him and he still took awhile to 'get it'. The moment was totally lost! hahahaha
Classic. I remember my stilettos getting caught. That's something people don't tell ya!
Your wedding photographs are gorgeous, gorgeous!
YIKES! I totally love @emma's notion to just go with the flow no matter what. Love it that she just "stomped around in her cowboy boots" when it started raining. Perfect!
hahaha, sooo true! i got so many little things caught in the bottom of my dress since the whole thing was outside, but oh well. i just adore lace!

This print is was made using 4 sheets of linoleum which were carved and printed in a reductive style. I was experimenting with printing layered images as well as creating an image in a story board style. There isn't a linear narrative happening in the image...I would like to call it an "abstracted narrative". I printed about 20 variations of color and juxtapositions of the plates, so this is a unique print, one of a kind. It's rather rough cutting gives this print an exuberant energy!
The image is 16" X 24" printed with oil based inks on a sheet of Arches 88 paper 22" X 30".
It will ship flat.

Nicky Morgan 'will report to the PM on women's issues'
A Downing St spokesman has clarified that the new Financial Secretary, Nicky Morgan, will report directly to David Cameron on women's issues, rather than to the new Culture Secretary, Sajid Javid.
The role of minister for women and equalities has been split, with Ms Morgan taking on the women's brief and Mr Javid handling equalities.
She will report directly to the Prime Minister on women's issues. She will have an office as Minister for Women, supported by DCMS staff. But with regard to her responsibilities for women, she will report to the Prime Minister.
Sajid Javid will have the ministerial lead on equalities issues and Nicky Morgan will have the lead on women's issues.
Women in combat should be 'seriously considered'
The Army should "seriously consider" lifting its ban on women serving in combat roles in line with other countries, the chief of the general staff has said.
Women are currently are allowed to serve on the front line with the artillery and as medics, engineers, intelligence officers and fighters pilots but not in close combat roles.
General Sir Peter Wall told The Sunday Times the British Army is in a minority of other armies because of the rule and offering all roles to women would make it "look more normal to society".
An MoD spokesman said: "A 2010 review into women serving in combat roles concluded there should be no change to the existing policy and another review will take place before 2018."
World celebrates International Women's Day
People around the world celebrate International Women's Day, staging protests against women's rights abuses.
The UN writes that the day, celebrated on March 8, is an occasion to commemorate achievements in women's rights and to call for further change.
The celebration dates back to the beginning of the 20th Century and has been observed by the United Nations since 1975.
'1.7 million fewer women' taking part in sport
1.7 million fewer women are taking part in sport than men, despite the success of female athletes in Team GB at the 2012 Olympics, according to Sport England.
The organisation has raised concerns women were lagging behind, as nearly 6.8 million women play sport at least once a week versus 8.5 million men.
A further 12 million women wanted to take part in more physical activity than they currently were able to, they said.
The culture, media and sport select committee is meeting to discuss how to get more women playing sport with minister for sport Helen Grant later today.
CPS: 'No doubt system was failing women and girls'
Director of Public Prosecutions Kier Starmer said today's figures on rates of conviction for violent crimes against women and girls "sends a powerful message perpetrators."
Describing today's figures as a "result of a decade of change" and progress, he said:
There is no doubt that until recently the criminal justice system was failing women and girls. For example ten years ago, less than half the domestic violence cases that we prosecuted ended in convictions – that has gone up to three in four today.
The evidence is clear that ten years of progress is paying off and not only are the conviction rates steadily increasing, but our service to victims is also improving. These results send a powerful message to perpetrators that they are more likely than ever to be convicted for their crimes.

Energy and nutrient homeostasis is maintained through a complex regulatory network formed by signaling and transcriptional components that control metabolic genes. In this regulatory network, metabolic flexibility in skeletal muscle is defined as the ability to undergo a nutrient switch of fuel substrate utilization between glucose and fatty acids. Clinically, the metabolic syndrome that include an array of risk factors such insulin resistance, obesity and dyslipidemia among others is associated with a loss of metabolic flexibility. Moreover, it is though that it is this lack of metabolic flexibility that correlates with an incomplete mitochondrial oxidation of fatty acids and increased accumulation of intramyocellular lipids, a putative cause of insulin resistance. We have identified an important component of the low nutrient/fasting switch from glucose to fatty acid oxidation that involves the SIRT1 deacetylase enzyme that targeting and activating the transcriptional coactivator PGC- 1a promotes this nutrient switch. Mimicking fasting metabolic response, active and deacetylated PGC-1a increases expression of genes encoding for regulatory proteins and enzymes linked to mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. Interestingly, this pathway is altered in skeletal muscle of mice fed with high fat diet in which PGC- 1a is highly acetylated and correlates with a loss of metabolic flexibility and insulin resistance. Although activation of SIRT1 and PGC-1a are key regulators of this process, how low nutrient signals control SIRT1 enzymatic activity and how mechanistically deacetylated PGC-1a is a hyperactive protein is unknown. The major goal of this proposal is to identify the mechanisms by which fasting and low nutrient signals to SIRT1 enzymatic activity to induce PGC-1a deacetylation in skeletal muscle and to investigate their metabolic functionality in in-vivo mouse models. We have three aims:
Aim 1 is to perform molecular and functional analysis of how fasting/low glucose controls SIRT1 deacetylase enzymatic activity in in-vitro as well in-vivo conditions.
Aim 2 is to carry out molecular and functional analysis of PGC-1a acetylation and identify new proteins that account for the hyperactivity of deacetylated PGC-1.
Aim 3 will determine the effects of fasting/PKA activation on glucose and lipid metabolism through generation of skeletal muscle transgenic mice expressing SIRT1 and PGC-1a mutant alleles in different dietary conditions. This investigation will allow us to identify the molecular mechanisms by which fasting and PKA activation in skeletal muscle controls glucose and lipid metabolism. Since dysregulation of these processes that involves a loss of metabolic flexibility is a major component of the metabolic syndrome including obesity and diabetes, our studies on the regulation of SIRT1 deacetylase activities and PGC-1a acetylation might translate into potential therapeutic interventions.
Dysregulation of the SIRT1/PGC-1a function in skeletal muscle leads to loss of metabolic flexibility and altered mitochondrial oxidation. Since this is a hallmark of metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, studies in this grant proposal might translate into potential therapies for these diseases.

Why Kobe, why?
It's time for another edition of Miller Light --- the wastes great, less relevant version of a regular Miller column.
The Lakers are into the second round of the playoffs, now facing the Utah Jazz, and almost no one cares.
Why? Because Kobe Bryant dressed up like a weenie and allowed someone to take pictures. As colleague Janis Carr correctly observed, "Imagine the photos that didn't make it into the Los Angeles Times Magazine."
Charles Barkley once famously uttered, "I am not a role model." It's time for Kobe to admit, "I am not a model, period."
As for us, well, we can be a weenie, too.
