Join Maria Konnikova, the New York Times bestselling author of Mastermind, in a compelling investigation into the minds, motives, and methods of con artists—and the people who fall for their cons over and over again
While cheats and swindlers may be a dime a dozen, true conmen—the Bernie Madoffs, the Jim Bakkers, the Lance Armstrongs—are elegant, outsized personalities, artists of persuasion and exploiters of trust. How do they do it? Why are they successful? And what keeps us falling for it, over and over again?

Exchange Rate Volatility, Trade, and Capital Flows under Alternative Exchange Rate Regimes by Piet Sercu
Book DescriptionRecent years have seen a substantial increase in the volatility of exchange rates. This trend has prompted economists and finance analysts to question if the observed behaviour of exchange rates is consistent with a rational model. Does that volatility hinder trade? What are financial markets' effects on countries' investment decisions, and how would changes in fixed exchange rates affect growth and welfare? What are the requirements to make such changes feasible? Professors Sercu and Uppal examine these issues in the context of dynamic general equilibrium models, explicitly considering the role of financial markets while allowing for commodity markets to be segmented across countries. They show that the theoretical models for exchange rates in this context are quite different from those put forth by monetary theorists and proponents of purchasing power parity arguments.

Fixed, Random, or Something in Between? – A Variant of HAUSMAN's Specifi cation Test for Panel Data Estimators
This paper proposes a variant of the classical HAUSMAN specifi cation test commonly employed to decide whether the estimation of a random-eff ects model is a viable alternative to estimating fi xed eff ects. Whereas the classical test probes the equality of fi xed- and random eff ects, the proposed variant focuses on the equality of between-groups and fi xed-eff ects coeffi cients. While both test procedures lead to the same conclusions, the panel model specifi cation underlying our testing strategy facilitates the simultaneous estimation of the fi xed- and between-groups eff ects. As a consequence, we are able to examine both the equality of the whole range of coeffi cients as well as that of individual variables. The usefulness of the test is illustrated using a panel of household travel data for Germany.

Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi (BTM), Japan's leading bank and one of the largest banks in the world, said it had taken a 1.4 trillion yen (pounds 6bn) bad debt charge, and that its parent company had lost 918 billion yen (pounds 4bn) in the year to March.
A bank spokesperson said he expected further bad debt charges to be made during the current financial year. "The economic situation in Japan remains tough", he said. However, the spokesperson said BTM's parent company should go back into the black in 1998/9. He predicted a parent group profit of 150 billion yen (pounds 675m).
Five other Japanese banks - Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, Sanwa Bank, Fuji Bank, Tokai Bank and Asahi Bank - also posted large losses yesterday. On Thursday, Sumitomo Bank and Daiwa Bank admitted to substantial losses.
All the Japanese banks appear confident that last year's heavy bad loan provisions would be sufficient to see them through the region's financial crisis, and most were predicting they would return to profitability this year.
Analysts, though, were more sceptical, believing Japanese banks would need at least three years to restore their financial health.

U.S. Rep. Susan Davis, D-San Diego, Thursday introduced legislation in Congress that would require Wildlife Services, an obscure arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to disclose far more about the millions of animals it kills across the country than it does today.
Wildlife Services, which has killed 18,700 animals in San Diego County since 2005, works in secrecy. It doesn't allow reporters to watch its trappers in action and it hasn't promptly released numerous public documents about the animals it's killed here, despite a formal request we filed under the federal Freedom of Information Act. When I asked for a database of kills it maintains, two of its employees laughed out loud at my request.
The agency posts limited information online about its operations, reporting the number and type of species it kills in each state as well as how the animals were killed. But it doesn't explain why it killed animals or in what counties or cities it occurred.

On December 3, 2012, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Genesis Healthcare Corp. v. Symczyk, to decide whether a defendant employer in a class action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) may "moot" a case—i.e., place it outside the court's jurisdiction and thereby end it—by offering the named plaintiff a settlement for her own claims while providing no relief for the other employees on whose behalf she filed suit. This fact sheet explains the case's importance to low-wage women workers.

As dawn breaks over an encampment that was once home to thousands of people protesting the Dakota Access oil pipeline, a few hundred holdouts rise for another day of resistance.
They aren't deterred by the threat of flooding, nor by declarations from state and federal authorities that they must leave by Wednesday or face possible arrest. They're determined to remain and fight a pipeline they maintain threatens the very sanctity of the land.
"If we don't stand now, when will we?" said Tiffanie Pieper, of San Diego, who has been in the camp most of the winter.
Protesters have been at the campsite since August to fight the $3.8 billion pipeline that will carry oil...

I guess I expected too much of this and that
expected you to look out for me in the dark
and lift up your hat
when we entered the spark
To surrender when you knew I was right
expected you to make me feel better
but you continued to fight
and left our relationship to shatter
And even today when I know the answer
while asking myself why you're not here?
Find myself to pick up
all those pieces you threw of me
I know my heart bleeds away
and our memories still stay
may be it was better this way
better to break up today

nice work A break up poem is always good. The reference to th epieces of you being torn and scattered I liked alot.
really nice work ^_^
it's a lovely poem, with feeling and sorrow too , great work ladies xx
well, it was well written. liked the point where it says, "Better to break up today." like a band aid- a big, gaping, part-of-you band aid. it is really going to hurt, but it's better to just rip it off so you can move on with your life.
Nice poem, which contains pain of shattered heart and possitive thinking to move on too. you are brillent poet, smart enough to reach reader's heart ! Good going...........wishing you luck :) !

I have a friend who has a saying: Been there. Done that. Bought the t-shirt. Read the book. Saw the movie. I feel the same way when it comes to the current "crop" of euphemistically glowing reports of how much fun a "kitchen" garden can be and how little it costs. There is all that saving when you "harvest" your own fresh veggies. Even the new First Lady is embarking on such an endeavor.
Once upon a time I had much in common with the main characters in the corny television comedy, Green Acres. I was going to grow my own veggies, make pickles, pick fresh berries from the woods, turn them into jams and jellies, then give bountiful gifts of home made goodness for Christmas.
It was a great plan with unintended consequences such as having big, black, mama bear chase me out of her blackberry patch. The neighbors stole my entire crop of figs. Then, to add insult to injury, my mother would almost daily descend upon my beautiful snow pea crop and devour them like a horde of locusts.
I started out "small", with a single large flower pot. In it I planted a couple cherry tomatoes, a large beef-steak tomato, and three cucumbers, a bell pepper, a single zucchini, and two packs of snow pea seeds. Aside from the bell pepper plant never doing much, the whole thing was a great success. My mother had fresh snow peas, daily, along with some very good cucumbers.
Unfortunately, success is the mother of defeat.
I spent the winter reading up on seeds, where to find just the right veggie plants, and the exact plans for a raised vegetable "bed". It was going to be a wonderful summer, tapped off by my first venture into pickle making, and my first jams. I was giddy over the success of my two dozen jars of fig preserves.
I was hot.
You think I was going to build the blasted raised beds?
I hired Stanley, who had spent the previous 3 years remodeling my 10,000 square foot Mill Gallery. The final price-tag for the raised beds was about $300.
We're not talking soil — yet.
I wanted an organic veggie garden.
Do you know what happens when you use regular yard soil in your beautiful, new, raised veggie beds? You get a veggie garden full of weeds! The only solution is to either nuke it with an unhealthy dose of weed killer, or, deal with potting soil.
You guessed it. I opted for the potting soil.
I had two raised beds, three feet wide, six feet long, and a foot deep. Do you know how much potting soil is required – and that's after a healthy crop of rocks on the bottom of the increasingly annoying money pit. The rocks went on top of the plastic liner that was designed to keep weeds and grass from growing up into the bed.
Do you think I personally hauled rocks for the durn bed?
I hired my mother's gardener, then reminded her of the snow peas. Mr. Bryant's services for two days ended up costing about $75. I then had to give him $20 for the gas for his pickup truck. He went into town and picked up 20 large bags of potting soil at 5 bucks a pop.
Are you keeping track of the simple veggie garden? I had spent nearly five hundred dollars and not even bought the blasted veggie plants for it yet. Those were another hundred bucks. We're up to six hundred and counting.
After a month I was fully convinced Mother Nature had been playing a practical joke on me the previous season. The watermelon plants died. The snow peas took over, and spread like wild-fire. The Brussels did not sprout. NEVER ever plant a half-dozen zucchinis if you have a sense of self-preservation. I had some cucumbers. Okay, I had enough cucumbers to convince me to go into the pickling business. I was also going to make zucchini pickles. By that time my mother threatened to disown me if I brought another zucchini into her house.
The final price tag for the pickling spices, jars, etc. was about $125. I gather you realize I'd spent upward of $800 on the fiasco. Oh, the pickles were so successful, I decided to make blackberry preserves. That's when I was chased by mama bear. We were getting our berries from the same patch.
By the end of the summer I'd spent nearly a thousand bucks on the damn veggie garden. When I realized I could have used that money for a week down on the Islands, I gave up and treated myself to a week at Club Med on Guadeloupe.
Now you know why I snicker and roll my eyes when I hear the "green thumbs" describe how inexpensive and cost effective a family veggie garden can be. Do yourself a favor and don't even think about it. Find a good farmer's market and learn how to make bread and butter pickles with the bushel of cucumbers you will end up buying to "save money".
Unfortunately, the small kitchen garden, flower pot salsa garden, or even kitchen shelf herbs may soon be a thing of the past. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) has introduced H.R.875. Called the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, it will basically reclassify even that pathetic flowerpot of tomatoes and cucumbers into a "Food Production Facility". If complex records are not kept logging every step one would take to plant that pot of produce, the backyard gardener could be subjected to upwards of a million dollar fine.
The bill, introduced at the behest of the Congresswoman's hubby, Stanley Greenburg, who works for bio-tech giant Monsanto, will basically outlaw organic gardening, organic food, and the small family farm.
Like all "good things" the bill was designed to protect innocent people from salmonella poisoning, etc. Instead it places under government control EVERY food production facility in the nation. This includes any farm, ranch, orchard, vineyard, aquaculture facility, or confined animal-feeding operation. By law, all grain elevator operators, stock yards, ranchers, farmers, community gardens, or farmer's markets will now be controlled by the government. Anyone who produces food of any kind — meat, milk, fruit, vegetables, grains, etc. — and transports that food for sale will be subjected to warrantless government inspections of their farms and food production records.
Further, the law allows warrantless search and seizures of your records and products during unannounced inspections. They can tell you how to feed your farm animals, how to plant your fields, and manage your ranch. If you refuse unlimited access to federal agents, you will be fined a million bucks.
You might also want to know that Rosa DeLauro has received nearly $200,000 in donations from sources like Monsanto. The bill has 39 sponsors so far. She's a pal of Rahm Emanuel.
I wonder what all these new regs would do to Michelle's now famous White House Kitchen Garden? We all know she will not be subjected to these new laws if they pass. The big question, though, is this Nanny State Over-reach, or simply a corrupt politician prostituting herself to the highest bidder, and selling out every farmer and rancher in the country? The Nanny State implication is bad enough, but if this is simply a corrupt politician sponsoring a truly repulsive bill for her donors, her actions are even more despicable.Powered by Sidelines

Wikipedia:WikiProject Pharmacology/Workspace
This is like a scratch pad or a collaboration zone for things related to this WikiProject.
Naming conventions[edit]
Done. :) I've gone through the entire list of drugs to find INNs that redirect. Unless I've missed any (which is very possible) they should all be listed on this page. I will let a few days go by for people to raise any concerns then I will move those pages with no objections. Matt 19:29, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Source document for INNs[edit]
What is the primary source document for INNs ? I suggest that it is the WHO Chronicle. A link to an archive of relevant scanned PDF copies containing proposed and recommended INNs can be found at http://www.who.int/druginformation/ -- Derek Ross | Talk 16:39, 2004 Dec 30 (UTC)
List of names to fix[edit]
Here I'm compiling a list of drugs that aren't listed under their INN, because I know that the naming of pages can be a sensitive issue, I'm going to mention my intent on the talk page long before moving the page. I will direct people here for discussion if they object.
- For the naturally occuring short polypeptides and proteins, when we have the "one gene-one polypeptide" rule, their names should be acording to the NCBI site - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/map_search.cgi?taxid=9606,. While in those cases where a single gene codes the information for several polypeptide chains, as it is with POMK and ACTH, or where the products of several different genes are necessary for the formation of the final functional protein, as it is with the GCB family and GCA, and their product hCG, in these cases we should use their well known abbreviations.
Acesulfame potassium to Acesulfame
- Done Matt 20:51, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
N-acetylcysteine to acetylcysteine

- Clobetasol propionate to clobetasol
Cobalamin to Cyanocobalamin
- Done Physchim62 19:18, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- That is a wrong move, cobalamin refers to a group of compounds, and cyancobalamin is one of them, which by the way is an artefact produced during the purification proces of the naturally occuring forms. So, the redirection should go from cyancobalamin to cobalamins (or Vitamin B12). BorisTM 13:15, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

List of INN redirects[edit]
This is a list of INNs that redirect to another page but moving has been objected to. Reasons for not moving the page should be included with each entry.
- meticillin redirects to methicillin
- Since the drug is no longer widely in clinical use, and it's almost never referred to by its INN, I think methicillin should stay where it is. -Techelf 09:09, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- methylcobalamin is a redirect to a page about a different substance. They may be related, but one is not the parent of the other. I disagree with the redirect. Redirects inhibit contribution since as a new user I don't know how to fix it. --Gearspring 14:58, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
- melagatran redirects to ximelagatran
- Disagree [to moving page]. Ximelagatran is the oral form, which happens to be biotransformed into melagatran.JFW | T@lk 22:14, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Ah, then it's a case of a closely related drug that doesn't have it's own page yet. OK. Matt 17:44, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Ummm, melagatran actually redirects to ximelagatran, because melagatran is only for intravenous use and I don't expect it to be used very often. JFW | T@lk 18:01, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Disagree [to moving page]. Ximelagatran is the oral form, which happens to be biotransformed into melagatran.JFW | T@lk 22:14, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- alteplase redirects to Tissue plasminogen activator
- digitoxin redirects to digitalis
- The article is on the plant genus with info included on medicinal uses. Matt 16:07, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- dronabinol redirects to tetrahydrocannabinol
- I'm sure that people wouldn't agree to it being moved, perhaps if there's more info on the medicinal uses of the substance, then the page can be split.Matt 16:21, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- enalaprilat redirects to enalapril
- the article is too short to split at this point, but could be in the future. Matt 16:21, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- ergotamine, methylergometrine, and pergolide redirect to ergoline
- each of these should have their own page, when there's enough info to write them. Matt 16:25, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- filgrastim redirects to granulocyte-colony stimulating factor
- Same issue that JFW raised with alteplase. Matt 16:32, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- fosinoprilat redirects to fosinopril
- The article is too short to split at this point, but could be in the future. Matt 16:36, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- levonorgestrel redirects to progesterone
- The article doesn't make it clear why the redirect and I don't know. Seeking further clarification.Matt 18:16, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- If anything it should probably redirect to progestogen, but would be better off being an actual article Techelf 05:23, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- levonorgestrel now redirects to progestin which is a more specific and accurate redirect. In the interest of abolishing INN redirects it could be converted into a stub by anyone who wants to do so, but I won't because I have nothing to contribute to such a stub other than the definition that levonorgestrel is a progestin. Col.Kiwi 17:38, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Liothyronine redirects to thyroid hormone
- like alteplase, I think. Matt
- No, levothyroxine and liothyronine are different thyroid hormone analogues. They all need new pages. Thyroid hormone is about the physiological substance. JFW | T@lk 18:01, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- like alteplase, I think. Matt
- Imatinib to imatinib mesylate
- This suggestion does not make sense to me. The mesylate part of the salt is not related to pharmacological action, it's just one of thousands of possible salts of this compound. Cacycle 18:32, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- That's a good point, there are several drugs like this. In my list of INNs (from the US gov), this was listed as that particular salt and I don't know why. I just checked the ATC (http://www.whocc.no/atcddd/) and it's just listed as imatinib so I'll change the name in the drug list. I sure wish I had a list of 'official' INNs though. Matt 21:20, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- If "imatinib mesylate" is the INN, usually "imatinib" is listed as an INN Modified (INNM). Either way, I agree that it would be more appropriate to use the drug name, without the salt. Matt, if you happen to have access to any post-2003(ish) British texts (e.g. Martindale, BNF, British Pharmacopoeia) they'll list the INNs (though sometimes BNF lists INNMs).

- acitretin redirects to retinoid
- Retinoids are a class of compounds while acitrecin is one compound belonging to this class. Cacycle 18:59, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- neoarsphenamine redirects to arsphenamine
- No info yet to make an article for this drug. Matt 21:54, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- nicotinamide redirects to niacin
- which describes both nicotinic acid and nicotinamide. I don't know if the two should have seperate articles or not. Matt 21:59, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- prednisone redirects to prednisolone
- prednisone is the prodrug of prednisolone, perhaps someday there'll be enough content to split them. Matt 18:04, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- pyridoxine redirects to Vitamin B6
- The page is just a stub and covers several different substances. Matt 18:08, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- sodium cyclamate redirects to cyclamate
- Salt issue raised above. Matt 18:27, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

- seems to be a general category, not clear though. Matt 18:50, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- betacarotene redirects to carotene
- general category. Matt 19:13, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, there's also an alpha-carotene. Peter O. (Talk, automation script) 19:38, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)
- ciglitazone redirects to thiazolidinedione
- cortisone redirects to corticosteroid
- general category. Matt 19:25, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

- The INN for amfetamine is surely amphetamine. See WHO Chronicle, Vol 13, No 12, Dec 1959 pp. 463-474. -- Derek Ross | Talk 16:07, 2004 Dec 30 (UTC)
- human chorionic gonadotropin to chorionic gonadotropin
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone to corticotropin
- Indomethacin to indometacin
- No; meth- appears more correct. Peter O. (Talk, automation script) 19:40, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)
- Folinic acid to calcium folinate
- Calcium folinate is the salt of Folinic acid. Cacycle 09:13, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

A Conceptual Framework for Analyzing the Financial Environment
Zvi Bodie
Boston University - Department of Finance & Economics
Robert C. Merton
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Sloan School of Management; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); Harvard Business School - Finance Unit
This paper develops a conceptual framework for analyzing the global financial system. The framework has two major objectives: to address differences in institutional structure across borders and to explain changes in these institutional structures over time. Applicability of the framework ranges widely, from analysis of the entire financial system to individual business strategy decisions and specific public policy choices. It rests on two basic premises:
-Financial functions are more stable than financial institutions-that is, functions vary less across borders and change less over time.
-Competition will cause evolution in institutional structures to produce greater efficiency in the performance of financial system functions. That is, institutional form follows its function.
The evolution of the financial system is portrayed as an innovation spiral in which organized markets and intermediaries compete with each other in a static sense and complement each other in a dynamic sense.

Here we are watching the smoke from the Zaca fire 6 weeks later and what
do I see on the news but the rest of the country under water. Well
mostly anyway. Y'all still out there I hope, it's pretty quiet this
Tonight I'll be picking stuff to decide what I want to turn in to the
fair tomorrow morning. I entered paste tomatoes, eggplant, okra, green
zucchini, yellow zucchini, red onions, and four kinds of peppers -
Italian, ancho, anaheim, and jalapeno. I don't have ancho peppers, but
you can substitute so I might as well enter the pimentos. I don't think
I've got any eggplant worth putting in, and there's no okra either. I'm
not so sure about the paste tomatoes, they peaked early and I don't
think there's anything out there very good-looking at the moment, but
I'll check. I should be okay on the rest of it but I won't know till I
get a good look at the quality. I could bring in ten pounds of veggies
that I'd be happy to eat but is not pretty enough to enter. Ah well
that's why they don't charge an entry fee in this category, you really
don't know till the last moment if you'll have good stuff or not.
I'm thinking about my chores list for the weekend too. I'll start
dehydrating onions and try caramelizing some too, there's always weeding
to be done, and I should clean the pond filter (that's a good time, you
betcha). I might try to get husband interested in weeding the front
garden...he won't have to be quite so restrained this time, there are a
couple areas at least where I could tell him "Rip it all out except for
this one thing" and let him have at it.
Or if it's hot we might just sit under the tree with a couple beers, you
never know.

How to keep users from messing up their desktops
While I prefer allowing every user to customize his system, some managers may want to keep users from messing up a standard configuration. There are two basic approaches to this process. First, you can disable access to the key tools. Second, you can change ownership and permissions on associated configuration files to prevent changes by regular users.
Disabling changes on KDE
The KDE desktop configuration is driven by both default and individual configuration files. Naturally, what you do depends on what you want to customize; do you want a standard desktop for just a few users or for every user on your network?
The default configuration files depend on the distribution:

Julia SH's photography dissects the nuances between nudity and sexuality.
This article contains adult content.
Growing up, Swedish photographer Julia SH was fascinated by the films of David Cronenberg, not just for their hallucinatory visuals and nihilistic perspectives, but for their depictions of the body. "Most of my favorite artists had a fascination with the human body in all its wonderful weirdness," she tells The Creators Project. While on a VFX shoot, SH met a model whose body, and the way she carried herself, was too fascinating to let go.
"She was amazing to work with, and very confident in the way she looked," SH continues. She approached the model, who remains unnamed, and "deliberately photographed her in poses where her face wasn't shown to disorient the viewer a bit and attempt to halt them from making an immediate value judgment by comparing her to the way other people look." The result is her new photography series, +, which has the stated goal of "showing the beauty and value of the model's body apart from any societal judgments about sexual attractiveness by portraying it like a sculpture and a work of art."
This mindset is what allows SH to separate sexual assumptions from her work. "I'm not so much interested in nudity per sé as I am in the textures and geometry that make our individual bodies unique," she says."Clothes are designed to conceal these things and force our bodies into a general "acceptable" shape, so I often prefer to shoot nude models." Pursuing this line of thought is different in the United States than in her homeland—her work is highly suggestive of the divide between European and American attitudes toward sex.
"I remember watching a foreign film with some American acquaintances, and there was a scene where an older guy with a bit of paunch got naked to take a shower, and their reaction was basically, 'ew! gross!'" She recounts. "I think this arises from the idea that we're supposed to evaluate every naked body we see sexually. If I'd watched that scene with a group of Swedes, I highly doubt anyone would've cared or had any real reaction at all."
SH believes this is more than just a difference of opinion, but a problem to be solved. "From a Swedish immigrant's perspective, in the U.S., it seems like nudity is almost always placed in a sexual context, which I think is incredibly harmful. It creates the idea that if you're going to be naked, you'd better conform to a certain set of sexual standards, or you deserve to be held to scorn and ridicule."
She explains, "I'd like to see America move toward a more commonplace, pragmatic view of nudity."
She hopes work like her + series can help build that vision for America. If body image issues are primarily a media problem, then SH offers a media solution: "If you look at who we actually date and marry, it's clear people are perfectly happy with a much wider array of body types than what we're supposedly meant to prefer, but because in the U.S. we're really only exposed to a single body type in the media that we're told is the right one, we end up feeling worthless and miserable. The more we challenge this idea of a single acceptable way to look when naked, the more comfortable we'll be able to feel in our own bodies."
SH's other works often present unconventional nudes in equally unconventional scenarios. Her Clusters series melds a group of women into something of a surreal sculpture—a narrative to be unpacked rather than an object to be sexualized. Back Attack mutates a man's naked body into a sci-fi creature that leaves the viewer with more questions than answers. Her one-off photo, Girl, imagines the real woman beneath the frame of Johannes Vermeer's Girl with the Pearl Earring, panties and all.
To that effect, most of SH's models are not used to being photographed nude, making their captured images more powerful. "I get a kick out of photographing women who may not realize how beautiful they are and then getting a very pleasant surprise." If she can convince these non-nude models to be comfortable with their naked bodies, why not the rest of America?

Fantastic meteor shower prospects this year! See EarthSky's meteor guide for 2016
Tonight, look for the faint constellation Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer. From the Northern Hemisphere, look southward at mid-to-late evening in July. From the Southern Hemisphere, look around this same time, but overhead. From all parts of Earth in the month of July, Ophiuchus descends westward as Earth spins under the sky, and evening deepens into late night. Ophiuchus is sometimes called the 13th or forgotten constellation of the Zodiac.
The sun passes in front of Ophiuchus from about November 29 to December 17. And yet no one ever says they're born when the sun is in Ophiuchus. That's because Ophiuchus is a constellation – not a sign – of the Zodiac.
What's the difference? The 12 signs of the Zodiac represent equal 30o divisions of sky, while the 13 constellations of the Zodiac are of various sizes.
That's why, for example, the sun resides in front of each zodiacal sign for a precise interval of about a month. Meanwhile, the sun is in front of the constellations for varying amounts of time, for example, in front of Virgo for about one-and-a-half months and in front of Scorpius for about a week.
In 2016, a planet can help you find Ophiuchus in the night sky. An imagainary line drawn from the bright red star Antares in the constellation Scorpius the Scorpion – through the planet Saturn – points right to Ophiuchus on these July 2016 evenings. Incidentally, in 2016, you'll also see the red planet Mars and golden planet Saturn forming a bright triangle of lights with Antares.
Even after Mars and Saturn move to other parts of the sky, you can look for Ophiuchus near Antares on the dome of night. Ophiuchus' brightest star – called Rasalhague – highlights the head of Ophiuchus. It's nowhere as bright as the star Antares (or, in 2016, the planets Saturn or Mars).
Ophiuchus will remain visible near Antares, Mars and Saturn through August and September, 2016.
Help support posts like these at the EarthSky store. Fun astronomy gifts and tools for all ages.
On sky maps, Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer is depicted as holding Serpens the Serpent, which is considered a separate constellation. According to ancient Greek star lore, Ophiuchus is Asclepius, the physician who concocted a healing potion from the Serpent's venom, mixing it with the Gorgon's blood and an unknown herb. This potion gave humans access to immortality, until the god of the underworld appealed to Zeus to reconsider the ramifications of the death of death.
Even today, the Staff of Asclepius – the symbol of the World Heath Organization – pays tribute to the constellation Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer.
Bottom line: Will you see faint Ophichus, the overlooked zodiacal constellation, tonight?

Comments about The North Face RDT 100 Full Zip Jacket:
The product arrived quickly, and the fleece zip-up is very nice, however, the color online is nothing like the actual color of the jacket. The online color is a very light blue (which I really liked and was excited to order), but the actual color is much darker, also a denim color blue. I will keep the jacket but I was disappointed.
Comments about The North Face RDT 100 Full Zip Jacket:
While my husband loves this jacket weight and sleeve/body length for him as a 6'4" man, we were both quite disappointed with the China Blue color that looks a dirty gray/blue rather than as pictured online.
Comments about The North Face RDT 100 Full Zip Jacket:
I bought this jacket for my son in law after he sent me a picture of it stating that it was exactly what he wanted. It was so short on him that it had to go back. He is average size so I don't know what the deal is with this fleece.

Neil Patrick Harris just received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, so if you're looking for a career in showbiz, it would behoove one to take his advice. Even if it starts with the headline: be a slut.
The "How I Met Your Mother" star features on the cover of the upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly, offering up his Hollywood survival guide. The secret, he writes, is saying yes to everything.
"It's good to have a lot of once-in-a-lifetimes in your lifetime. If you get the chance to skydive, go skydiving. If you're offered a part in a weird Shakespeare play in San Diego, slap on some tights and rock out some iambic pentameter," he advised. "If you're offered the opportunity to have a swastika painted on your ass, glitter on your nipples, and to simulate sex with a man and a woman behind a curtain, go for it... provided it's Cabaret on Broadway and not in some dude's basement."
Harris has certainly made a career out of taking chances.
