Wayne Law welcomes incoming class
DETROIT (Aug. 29, 2011) – Wayne State University Law School is pleased to welcome this year's incoming class to campus. Orientation for first-year Wayne Law students began last week at the Law School.
"We are pleased to welcome the entering class," said Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. "The class of 2014 boasts a median LSAT score of 157 and a median GPA of 3.39. Class members bring with them a broad range of experience and qualifications. I look forward to meeting each of them over the next few years."
Students of the 181-member entering class represent 12 states (Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Texas and Utah) plus Washington, D.C., and five countries (Canada, India, Nigeria, Russia and the United States).
The undergraduate experience of students in the entering class includes more than 30 different majors and more than 45 colleges and universities. Some of these institutions include the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Wayne State University, the Ohio State University, Cornell University, the University of Notre Dame, Georgetown University, Clark Atlanta University and Texas A&M University.
Admitted students are chosen by the Wayne Law Admissions Committee based on academic achievement, potential and a diverse array of personal attributes.
According to Ericka Jackson, assistant dean of admissions, the class of 2014 includes a number of individuals who carved unique paths to law school. These students include Shawn Blanchard, a South Bronx math teacher who opened his classroom and home to a then-struggling high school student and also co-founded a young men's program; Captain Tanzania Jaysura, a military captain who deferred her admission last year when she was deployed in Afghanistan; Wanda Mays, a 52-year-old student, single mother and Detroit native who recently celebrated her 35-year class reunion from Cass Tech High School; Angela Bajramaj, a stay-at-home mother of five; and Eric Shovein, a 2009 University of Michigan graduate who has already traveled abroad in furtherance of public interest and social justice law.
"Each class is unique and this year is no exception," Jackson said. "I look forward to watching these students grow and learn while making their mark on Wayne Law, the city of Detroit and the nation."
Shovein and Blanchard, like many of their peers, are eager to begin their journey at Wayne Law.
"I chose Wayne Law because of its outstanding reputation in the Michigan legal community, huge emphasis on public interest work and prime location in one of the country's most storied, hopeful and relevant communities in terms of public interest," Shovein said. "I'm excited to see what the next few years hold for me as a student, and I look forward to becoming a lawyer who can help people learn and understand their rights so they can avoid being taken advantage of in the future."
"I chose Wayne Law because it provides me with the opportunity to be right back in the community that raised me," said Blanchard, a Detroit native. "I have provided my services to communities outside my own and want to bring all my experiences and knowledge back to my roots. A legal education from Wayne Law will enable me to better serve the Detroit community. I love my city and I am glad to be back."
For more information, please contact the Law School Admissions Office at firstname.lastname@example.com or (313) 577-3937.

(Source: ibtimes.com)
Japan's largest business daily Nikkei said that the Nexus 7 is taking over mainly because of price
Apple's iPad is notorious for being king of the tablets, but in Japan, this may no longer be the case.
Market research firm BCN conducted a survey in Japan last December to see what the tablet market share was looking like. Out of 2,400 consumer electronics stores in Japan, the iPad had 40.1 percent of the market while
Google's Nexus 7
claimed 44.4 percent.
Japan's largest business daily
said that the Nexus 7 is taking over mainly because of price. The Nexus 7 costs $199 USD while the cheapest iPad --
the iPad mini
-- is $329 USD. Both the Nexus 7 and iPad mini are 7-inch tablets.
However, the report did note that some stores in Japan have run out of the iPad mini, which may have affected the results a bit.
The iPad mini features a 7.85-inch display, 1024x768 resolution, Dual-core A5 processor, Lightning connector, 5 MP rear-facing camera, 1.2 MP front-facing camera, 720p HD video, 16GB/32GB/64GB storage options, 10-hour battery life, Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi (802.11n 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and 4G LTE availability. The iPad mini starts at $329 for the 16GB version, $429 for the 32GB, and $529 for the 64GB.
Google's Nexus 7 is a tablet made by ASUS. It runs the latest version of the Android operating system, 4.1 Jelly Bean, and packs various features like a 7-inch IPS display with a 1280x800 resolution, a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, a 1.2 MP front-facing camera, NFC, Bluetooth, 802.11n wireless, GPS and 16GB/32GB versions. The 16GB version
starts at $199
while the 32GB runs $249.99.
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

|Topic Review (Newest First)
School me on Flux bindings
I WON A PAIR!!! (look at the sticky). I have only been on Burton Bindings, and mixed in here and there for a short time, Union binders.
Same basic setup? Rotate highbacks? Do they all have a neutral forward lean position like Burton? How does the urethane highback work in REALLY cold conditions? I know all bindings have plastic breaking issues in REALLY cold conditions, but I know nothing about the Flux.
Can I use it with Burton's channel and 3D? I ride about 3-4 different boards over the course of a season, building up and leading up to the sick pow spring season. I will start this year again on a Cambered board until we get good coverage, then some jump practice before December, then, hopefully more pow days into January-Feb it builds and WHAMO, epic pow days on some hybrid boards into the spring.
I have only one special set up thing, I move the Ankle strap down on Burton Cartel bindings, to the lowest setting of 3, on Burton, for a better position on my boot and foot comfort. It changed my riding for the better...more so my comfort. I do not choose other brands because of the lack of that adjustment. I saw the Flux, and it DOES have that particular adjustment.

|Though I feel like we've come a long way in some of the initial confusion surrounding IBM CloudBurst and WebSphere CloudBurst, I still get quite a few basic questions on the solutions. The two most common questions are, 'Are they different products?', and 'Can/should I use them together?'. I put together a really brief overview that answers these questions and talks about the basics of the combined solution. I hope it provides a good introduction!

Sorting IBM's cloud offerings
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  ibm_cloudburst websphere_cloudburst 2,998 Views
The announcement of the new IBM CloudBurst offering coupled with the new WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance may create a bit of confusion for some. However, when both offerings are examined it's pretty plain to see any confusion is caused solely by the similarity of names.
IBM CloudBurst is a holistic cloud offering that includes hardware, software, and services. The hardware provides the physical infrastructure needed to host your private cloud. The software provides the capabilities to effectively utilize and manage the various cloud services, and it provides the self-service capabilities that enable the entire IT staff to provision cloud resources as necessary. The services portion provides IBM expert help in getting started toward utilizing the hardware and software components to effectively build a private cloud.
The WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance on the other hand is devoted to allowing users to create, deploy, and manage WebSphere middleware environments in a private cloud. It does not provide the infrastructure necessary to host a private cloud, rather it relies on users to bring their own cloud. In that sense, the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance could be seen as a subset of the IBM CloudBurst offering, specifically as part of the cloud service management capabilities of IBM CloudBurst. The appliance would utilize the hardware portion of the IBM CloudBurst offering as the cloud infrastructure for the WebSphere middleware environments it dispenses.
Couple the hardware and cloud service management capabilities provided by these two offerings along with IBM experts via IBM CloudBurst's services portion, and users can quickly build out and leverage private enterprise clouds.
If you are interested, I encourage you to visit the landing page for both IBM CloudBurst and the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance. Both offerings are truly unique, and they promise to make private enterprise clouds a reality.

Announcing IBM CloudBurst
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  ibm_cloudburst cloud_computing 3,307 Views
IBM trekked further into the cloud today by announcing new offerings that will help clients to leverage the cloud within their enterprise. These offerings include development environments, test environments, and desktop services running either in the IBM cloud or a private cloud, as well as something called IBM CloudBurst (not to be confused with the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance).
In particular, the IBM CloudBurst offering jumps out to me as a truly innovative offering. This offering promises our clients a complete private cloud solution that includes hardware, software, and services all in a single package.
Essentially it sounds like the IBM CloudBurst offering is all about building out a cloud-enabled data center. The hardware provides the bulk computing power to host private clouds, and the software provides enhanced service management capabilities to give users full control and insight over the elements of their private cloud.
Couple these computing capabilities with included IBM service, and this means clients should be able to get up and going with their private clouds very quickly.
This new offering really seems to hit a sweet spot. While the number of cloud computing offerings continues to grow, few if any offerings take such a holistic approach to providing such a solution.
This type of comprehensive solution gives users what they need in terms of the hardware to host a private cloud and the software to manage that cloud. Just as importantly though, it helps users put the hardware and software to work via implementation services also offered in the solution.
I invite you to take a look at the new IBM CloudBurst offering, and don't forget to sign up for the IBM CloudBurst webcast scheduled for June 25th.

AMES, Iowa — An Iowa State University research team has developed new measurement tools to detect malnutrition in older adults. On Saturday, Nov. 3, the Iowa State researchers will be conducting free nutritional screenings during the Des Moines University Senior Health Fair, Student Education Center 3300 Grand Ave., Des Moines.
Adults age 65 years or older, and who speak English, are eligible to participate in the screenings, said Sarah Francis, an Iowa State University assistant professor and ISU Extension and Outreach nutrition specialist.
Malnutrition affects a large proportion of the older adult population. The National Resource Center on Nutrition, Physical Activity and Aging reports that among older adults who live on their own, one in four is estimated to suffer from malnutrition. In addition, between 35 to 50 percent of older adults living in long-term care facilities are malnourished.
"Data show that malnourished older adults typically have hospital stays twice the length of well-nourished older adults, with these visits costing between $2,000 and $10,000 more. They often experience more hospital readmissions, as well," Francis said. "Malnutrition can lead to reduced quality of life and loss of independence if left untreated, because of adverse health effects such as weight loss, diminished strength, reduced immunity, disorientation and confusion."
Numerous nutrition assessment tools detect malnutrition in older adults, but the Mini Nutritional Assessment is considered the "gold standard" of nutritional assessment, because of its accuracy in determining nutritional risk, Francis explained. "The MNA is designed to be used with adults age 65 and older. The assessment asks questions about your general and self-perceived health and dietary practices. It also requires measuring the size of your arm and calf, using measuring tapes."
Iowa State's new measurement tools are used with the MNA. The Viva Gauge tools have been designed to help in measuring the size of the arm and calf, an important part of screening for nutritional risk, Francis said.
"We are conducting the free screenings to ensure that our new measurement tools are just as accurate as traditional measuring techniques," Francis said.
Participants will be asked to complete the MNA screening process. They will need to answer questions about their general and self-perceived health and dietary practices, and self-report their height and weight. Actual height will be measured with a stadiometer and weight will be measured with a digital scale. Participants' arm and calf measurements will be taken using the Viva Gauge tools as well as the traditional measuring tape. Participants also will complete a questionnaire about the screening experience. The entire process requires about a 30-minute, one-time visit.
"If you are identified as at risk for malnutrition or malnourished, the research team will mail you additional information about how to reduce your nutritional risk," Francis said.
All participants will receive the Healthy and Homemade cookbook, an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach publication, for their time. For more information, contact Francis at firstname.lastname@example.com or 515-294-1456.

Ok so the fox on the bottom right, he's really concentrating with his tongue out and everything. He looks like he's trying to take a you-know. Is that what he's doing? Because if so, eww for dirty leaves afterward. lol.

The more I think about this, the more I'm convinced that raisins are the reason for all of the world's problems.
Bundito was in the fog last time, and I was flabbergasted on each of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings that his mug did not adorn the home page. I was muy sad. Now it's like he's just holding back for a photo finish. Right?

They didn't think it was fair to eliminate it from the double take because it was not given a full print run. It was a special side print and therefore not eligible for the reckoning.
I really don't see any problem with woot's inclusion of the design in the double take and a certainly don't see anything wrong with bass keeping it in the running. She went above and beyond with this design which is really commendable.

you think that red spot is an eye? i hope that isn't the case because it's in a very weird position...unless you're talking about something else.
Re: Sky in a Jar
WIN. I will be highly disappointed if this doesn't print. The shirt tells a great story and visually appealing.

I, too, really liked this one the first time around. Sadly, doesn't look like its going to make it into print this time either

Ozone holes and cosmic rays
Browsing through the blogosphere recently, I came across an interesting little story about the scientific method, scientific progress, and un-scientific spin (h/t Hank Roberts). The subject concerns the polar ozone hole in Antarctica and a possible role for cosmic rays in its variability on solar cycle timescales. The proponents of this link are a small research group at the University of Sherbrooke in Canada, who find themselves up against the mainstream stratospheric chemistry community and whose ideas are twisted out of all recognition by the more foolish of the usual suspects.
The story hit the 'tubes earlier this year when researcher Q.B. Lu predicted that this years Antarctic ozone hole would be the biggest ever due to the actions of increased galactic cosmic rays (GCR) (because we are at solar minimum and GCR are inversely correlated to solar activity). This years peak ozone hole has now come and gone, and the prediction can therefore be evaluated. Unfortunately for Dr. Lu, this year's hole was merely about average for the decade – a result that wasn't too supportive for his theory.
This story made me a little curious about this though. Firstly, I didn't initially understand why cosmic rays should be playing a role in ozone depletion – most of the cosmic ray effects that are usually discussed revolve around cloud-aerosol connections, but there are not many clouds in the stratosphere where the ozone holes form, and the ones there are (Polar Stratospheric Clouds – PSCs) are much more sensitive to temperature and water vapour than they are likely to be to background aerosols. On further investigation, it turns out that this idea has been out there for a few years (and was reported on then) and has subsequently been discussed in the ozone literature.
So let's start with the background theory. Standard (Nobel-prize winning) stratospheric chemistry has tied ozone depletion to the increasing chlorine (Cl) load in the stratosphere which catalytically destroys ozone and comes from the photolytic dissolution of human-sourced chloro-fluoro-carbons (CFCs) high in the stratosphere. In the polar night, the presence of PSCs allows for a specific class of heterogeneous Cl reactions to occur on the surface of the cloud particles which turn out to be very efficient at destroying ozone. Hence the presence of an ozone hole in the very cold Antarctic polar vortex. Since PSCs are very sensitive to temperature, cold winter vortex conditions often presage a large ozone depletion the following spring (note that polar ozone depletion only occurs in sunlight and so is a spring time phenomena in both hemispheres). This is pretty much undisputed at this point (well, at least by serious scientists). We here at RealClimate even used this relationship to predict (successfully) a particularly large Arctic ozone depletion event in 2005.
Dr. Lu's theory though posits an additional mechanism to release the Cl from the CFCs – and that is through GCR effects. Specifically, Lu suggests that the action of the GCR on CFCs attached to PSCs causes more Cl to be released, thus potentially delivering more Cl exactly where it could enhance polar depletion most effectively. The evidence for this comes from correlations of ozone loss with GCR (over a couple of solar cycles) and some suggestive lab experiments. Note that this does not call into question the anthropogenic source of the Cl which is still from CFCs.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks mike. Yeah its def a tcc shudder on lock up. I know flushed fix that 10% of the time but that's where I wanna start
on the back of the bottles they will list what fluid types they will meet.
as for the shudder... don't rule out engine trouble if you haven't already. fix that before anything else.
One thing about using OEM fluids... if you have any kind of Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth... use the mopar fluid. theirs is the only one that works well in those car for some reason.
|Yeah she let's me work on it. When it comes to vehicles they don't know anyone who knows more, though my expertise is German cars. I may try the pump method. I may still try to dump the additives in we have
You can get all the fluid out yourself in the driveway, and change the filter. Use the transmission to pump the fluid out. You can also use the transmission to pump fluid in if you're afraid of it running dry for a few seconds. This all happens very fast if you start the engine. I always suggest that the person doing this use the emergency start mode, or disconnect the coil and fuel cut-off switch before using the starter to crank the engine. You'll need a couple of 5 gallon buckets. Disconnect the upper transmission cooler line. Use an old water hose or something to go over the top of that line and direct fluid to a bucket. This is very important since the flow rate of these transmissions is like 5 gpm at idle, and there's only a couple of gallons in there. You don't want T-fluid to get all over the place. My one and only engine fire was caused by T-fluid on exhaust.
Crank the engine for 15 secs or so, check the bucket, and keep up that ritual until the fluid is all drained out. That's a less abusive method. If want all the fluid out in like 5 seconds, just start the engine. Once all the fluid is out, you can much more easily remove the filter. Of course, expect some residual to be on the pan, but you shouldn't have to drain the pan from a corner for more than a minute. This method also removes the fluid from the TC.
Personally, I prefer the BMW method- just change the filter and whatever fluid that requires. The only time I change all the fluid is when we have bad overheating that I think has possibly damaged the transmission fluid, or the T-fluid has the fish smell. I might consider it if it was really black and burnt. Typically just a filter fixes those problems. Hopefully that will fix the problem with your GF's mother's car- IF she lets you work on it.
Probably converter as you suspect but I have heard of an isolated incident or two where simply changing fluid stopped what appeared to be TCC shudder, especially when old fluid is quite old. I'm with the other guy, I change fluid every 60-70K. Keep it red, not orange and certainly not brown.
I'd be using correct fluid, the manufacturers are using some pretty specialized clutch friction materials these days and the fluid will be matched.
|I'm a firm believer in sticking with oem unless I can find an acceptable substitute, which is rare. Her escape has 123k miles so its due. Issue is a shudder it has developed. Trying to do her a favor but I have the feeling she's going to pay for the flush and its going to end up needing at least a torque convertor since it appears to be occuring on lock up. No hard driving, no towing, she drives like a lil old lady, probably cause she is. Id just hate to see her throw money into a flush but its kinda looking inevitable.
Flushes are a waste of time. Unless there has been some sort of damage to the transmission, or you've been hauling- the fluid should last more than 60k miles. I wouldn't even change the filter unless it was dirty. If it's still red, you're good to go.
Now if you've been overheating, then it needs to be changed.
Dexron fluids should not be used in a Ford. Most of what you're seeing on the shelf at parts stores is a fluid that will meet the specs of both Mercon and Dexron III. Mercon production ceased in 07. Mercon V can be used in vehicles that were spec'd for Mercon, but Dexron has different properties that will cause damage to transmissions using Mercon.
I am not sure if newer Dexrons are ok though that is true. I'd stick to the recommended fluid if the change interval has passed.
|The issue is GM has a decent flush machine I can utilize but it only will accept the Dexron VI, not supposed to put other fluids in the machines
|why dont you use another brand instead of dealer name stuff
Fluid interchangeability
Ok so this is a fluid question, didnt know where to put it so general looked good
Can I use Dexron VI in a vehicle calling for Mercon V?
I can't find info on the fluid specifics anywhere. I can get the VI from my dealer and use their trans flushing machine but we dont do a "mechanical" flush at BMW, just drain and fill as recomended. Please help! GF's moms car has a horrible shudder and I'd like to do her a favor for cheaper than the local dealer will.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I just started this discussion on the general forum but I thought I should put it on the Feminist Zinesters group aswell:
I'm a graphic designer, zinster, and zine and art lover. I've done a few paper zines during the past years and now I'm trying to make an iPad zine. (I know alot of people here are against e-zines and the like but I want to explore their potential)
The zine will be mostly about art and I want to showcase unknown artists. I was wondering if anyone wants to submit their art. It can be any type of visual or media art: paintings, illustration, graphic design pieces, photography, collages, clothes you make etc. or even short films and music if you have a band or if you are a filmaker (since it is an iPad zine I can embbed music and video into it). It's a queer/feminist zine but your submissions don't necessarily have to be queer or feminist themed.
The theme for the first issue will be Vintage so if you want to submit any of your creations that are related to the theme I can include it on the first issue.
However you can send me any art, whatever theme it has, so that I can prepare the next issues. Just email me the art pieces or links to the art pieces you want me to showcase, followed by a short biography, contact info, and website if you have one, so that I can include all of that in the zine.
Send your submissions to the following email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Hi there- I thought I would post this as, being an EFL teacher with 4 years experience in 3 different countries I have often tried to guess what the life of a teacher is like in a certain destination as the specifics of an EFL career are quite different to most. A friend recently set up a site specifically for teachers looking to get info from other teachers who are already in the place they are hoping to go to and ask them directly. The link is http://www.omniprof.ning.com and it is specifically for teachers, not students. It's a free not-for-profit site and it aims to be a point of reference for teachers looking to make the jump and work in a foreign country.
Have a look - it works quite well and should be of use to many EFL teachers.
Hope this helps

Hand-tufted by expert artisans using a special blend of the highest quality Wools, these rugs have the softest of hands and a shine that is unsurpassed.

Placing the correct size rug in your space is as important as choosing the right color or pattern. A rug that it is too small will shift the balance of the room unfavorably.

Learning from a simple model
There are three equations that define this system – the energy balance at the surface, in the atmosphere and for the planet as a whole (only two of which are independent). We can write the equations in terms of the energy fluxes (instead of the temperatures) since it makes the algebra a little clearer.
The factor of two for A (the radiation emitted from the atmosphere) comes in because the atmosphere radiates both up and down. From those equations you can derive the surface temperature as a function of the incoming solar and the atmospheric emissivity as:
If you want to put some vaguely realistic numbers to it, then with S=240 W/m2 and =0.769, you get a ground temperature of 288 K – roughly corresponding to Earth. So far, so good.
Point 1: It's easy to see that the G (and hence ) increases from S to 2S as the emissivity goes from 0 (no greenhouse effect) to 1 (maximum greenhouse effect) i.e. increasing the greenhouse effect warms the surface.

text: Just watched Washington beat the Lake Show. Washington is one of the teams I am following this season on NBA League Pass. I cheer for them when they play for other teams besides the Pistons. (Note, if Washington plays any of Houston, Orlando, Toronto, Milwaukee, or Cleveland, the other teams I am following, I kind of have an order for which team I root for, pretty much based on teams that have ex-Pistons being my preference. So its, in order, Milwaukee, Toronto, Orlando, Washington, Cleveland, Houston that I root for. Example, Cleveland plays for Houston, I root for Cleveland. Etc.) Why do I root for one team or another when they are not my beloved Pistons? To stay awake. With no emotional attachment to a team, I could then care less who wins, and gee, I simply can not stay awake if I do not care who wins. Its why I do not watch regular season Red Wing games. Like gee, when was the last time the Wings did not make the playoffs, so who really cares if they win a regular season game. So anyway, the one thing most noticeable in this game, neither team plays any perimeter D at all. They mostly do not even pretend to care. Blake starts for the Lakers for instance, and was the most minus palyer in the game despite Blake running the offense great and hitting a bunch of outside shots. But Blake never even heard of the concept of D apparently. Nick Young, a scorer. Farmar, shot lights out in this one. Just incredible shooting. But no defense. Washington? They start two small forwards in the absence of Beal who is out for a couple of weeks. Wall does just a bit of perimeter D, but he is much more interested in scoring really. Nene scored just over 30 if I recall, a new high for him. The only player consistently scoring paint points in the game. On both teams, the order of the day was jack it up. I think both teams shot about 50% for the game, so the talent was there to hit the shots. In the end, Nick Young was just out of control a bit, and the Lakers faded. Bad choice by the LA coach to leave Young in for that critical last couple of minutes.

Programme Activities, Events and Festivals
These were Tero Kaukomaa, producer of Iron Sky, Matthias Lavaux co-founder of touscoprod.com, Roel van de Weijer, founder of CineCrowd, and Thierry Baujard, founder and CEO of peacefulfish. Various film professionals from around the world attended the event at the Producers' Villa in Cannes to hear more about crowd funding in film, or collecting funds for a film project from a large group of people online.
Tero Kaukomaa kicked off the conference with a bang by sharing his experience as producer of Timo Vuorensola's sensational Iron Sky, a film that was funded at over 10% by fans. He detailed the film's fantastic journey, from its beginnings as the brain child of an internet genius who had already gained a notable following with Star Wreck, his parody of Star Trek. Kaukomaa explained how this fan base enabled them to collect over € 1 million from crowd investment alone. His sensational story truly illustrates the importance of a niche market and ongoing communication between these private investors and professionals.
"So many people represent such a powerful asset," he said, "a huge crowd who feel that 'this is our film' so are ready to fight for it."
Next to speak was Matthias Lavaux, co-founder of French crowd funding website Touscoprod.com. In his presentation, he detailed the effort needed for successful crowd funding, not least of which is a time investment of two to three hours every day in order to raise an average total of € 15,000. Lavaux emphasised the importance of three steps: "First convince your friends, followed by the friends of your friends, in order to reach the world."
Anyone can put their project on the Touscoprod.com website, and choose how to provide a 'return' for their investors. For testament to their success, look no further than its two films currently in Cannes: Confession of a Child of the Century and Laurence Anyways. The English version of touscoprod.com will be launched in the next few months.
A similar crowd funding website based in the Netherlands, CineCrowd, was then presented by its founder Roel van de Weijer. After a friend of his approached him with an idea for a short film, van de Weijer realised he had to find new funding methods if he was ever going to help the project come to life. He created CineCrowd modelled on Kickstart, the American crowd funding platform, and introduced the concept into the Netherlands.
CineCrowd's most incredible anecdote? Famous Dutch director Eddy Terstall used the website to fund his short film Deal. When after 60 days he had not reached his goal of € 20,000, he decided to create what he called "Eddy's Twit Flicks", 10 to 60-second films for each individual investor. The result was a huge buzz and enough funds to make Deal into a feature film, that will now be screened at a Dutch film festival later on this year.
"If you're doing it for the money, then don't," was van de Weijer's parting advice. "If you're doing it for the marketing and publicity then do it – stand out, be unique, show yourself."
Finally, Thierry Baujard concluded the conference with his own valuable insight on crowd funding. His company, peacefulfish, provides consulting services for funding in the content industry.
At the moment, current investors in the audiovisual industry do not consider crowd funding as a major reason to invest in a project, he said, but investors' reticence is mostly to do with the uncertainty surrounding a new concept.
The European Commission also recently started to pay attention to crowd funding as "it's a good form of alternative funding to harmonise the market," according to Baujard. The Commission is beginning to question whether they should regulate the market, and whether this will facilitate accessibility to investment for all types of people.

Sour cream is so much more than just a topping for your baked potato. See how you can use it as a key ingredient in appetizers, breads, sides, and desserts.
- Photo: Beau Gustafson; Styling: Mindi Shapiro Levine
7 Ways with Sour CreamIf you've been limiting your use of sour cream to topping a baked potato or a plate of nachos, you're missing out. Its creamy tanginess adds to the flavor and smooth texture of appetizers, breads and desserts. And if you're watching fat and calories, it's available in both reduced-fat and nonfat versions.
Potato Nests with Sour Cream and Smoked SalmonCrisp little potato nests hold a dollop of sour cream and a tiny strip of smoked salmon in these tasty bite-size appetizers.
Apricot-Cream Cheese BraidAdding a sweetened sour cream mixture to the flour results in a sweet and tender yeast bread that's filled with fruited cream cheese and topped with a sugary glaze.
Salmon, Fennel, and Potato Salad with Sour-Cream DressingBlend sour cream with mayonnaise, fennel fronds, chives and lemon juice to make a tangy dressing for this hearty salmon salad.
Mashed Sour Cream and Scallion PotatoesIf you love super-creamy mashed potatoes, add sour cream along with milk and butter to the cooked potato.
Sour Cream-Lemon Pound CakeOnline reviewers give this tender pound cake a resounding 5-star rating with one fan claiming that it's "by far the best pound cake I have ever made. It is very moist and has a good but not overpowering flavor. I would cut it in half and stick the other half in the freezer because this cake is gone in seconds at my house."
Blueberries with Brown Sugar CreamKeep it easy with this 3-ingredient dessert. Simply top fresh berries with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with brown sugar.
Sour Cream Panna Cotta with Blackberry-Zinfandel CompoteA traditional Italian panna cotta is a light, eggless custard that's served cold, often with fruit. This top-rated light version is made with reduced-fat sour cream, evaporated milk and gelatin. It's an easy dessert that's also very impressive.

He has led Kansas City's foremost opera company for the past 25 years…now he is exiting the stage.
Evan Luskin has announced that he is retiring as general director of the Lyric Opera…just as the company prepares to move to its new performance space at the Kauffman Center For The Performing Arts. Luskin, the Company's general director since 1998, will be retiring on June 30, 2012. Mr. Luskin's retirement will come at the conclusion of the Lyric's first year of residence in the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, which will open this fall.
A lifelong fan of opera, Mr. Luskin received an MBA with a specialization in Arts Management in 1977 from the State University of New York at Binghamton. He then served as Assistant Director of the Tulsa Opera from 1977 to 1979, Managing Director of the Chattanooga Opera from 1979 to 1982, and Vice President for Finance and Administration of Michigan Opera Theatre from 1982 until coming to Kansas City in 1986. Mr. Luskin joined the Lyric on June 1, 1986 as its managing director, and became general director in 1998. He is looking forward to spending more time with his wife Andrea and his grand children in Topeka and Washington, D.C. He also plans to become involved in volunteer activities with children, take up the piano after a hiatus of many years, and travel.
The Lyric Opera of Kansas City was founded in 1958 by Russell Patterson. In 54 years the Company has produced numerous works including 3 world premiere operas. In the fall of 1998, the Company began performing operas in the original language, a tradition which continues today with all operas being performed in the original language with English subtitles.
On November 4, 2010 the Lyric Opera of Kansas City announced a capital campaign for the renovation of property on 18th and Charlotte in the Kansas City Crossroads Arts District for its new Opera Center.
The Opera Center complex will consist of two buildings: a Production Arts building and an Administrative building with set rental inventory storage. The Production Arts building will include a rehearsal space that will match the footprint of the stage of the Muriel Kauffman Theatre at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. The Production Arts building also will house a full wig, costume and set construction shop and facilities for educational and community outreach programs. Such an integrated and dedicated production facility does not exist in Kansas City; the Company envisions the Production Arts building becoming a resource for other local performing arts companies.
The second building on the property will be adjacent to the Production Arts building. It would provide the Company with set rental inventory storage, parking lots and outside green spaces for the Opera Center, and house the administrative staff.
In the summer of 2011, the production and administrative offices of the Lyric Opera will be moving from its home of 40 years at the Lyric Theatre to a temporary home in downtown Kansas City at 1616 Broadway. The production and administrative offices will move to the headquarters on 18th Street when construction is completed in 2012.

Box Score
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Taking a brief respite from Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) play, the Manhattan men's lacrosse team visited area rival Wagner on Tuesday afternoon. Trailing 7-3 with four minutes left in the first half, Manhattan outscored Wagner nine to four the rest of the way holding on to a 12-11 road victory at Hameline Field. The victory marked the end of the Jaspers (3-8, 0-2 MAAC) non-conference schedule and snapped a two game losing streak.
Things began very grim for Manhattan as the Seahawks (1-8) went up 3-0 in the first four minutes of the game. Brian McGrath finally got the Jaspers on the board with 8:07 to go in the first when he finished a feed from Patrick Hodapp. Wagner responded with two more goals at the end of the quarter from Griffen LeClaire and Brian Faughnan before Colin O'Rourke made it 6-1 to start the second.
Jimmy Rogers started a mini-run for Manhattan, notching the first goal of his collegiate career. He then got his first assist less than a minute later on a Marcel Godino tally to cut the deficit in half. However, the Seahawks would again regain momentum. Both Nick DePhillips and Cory Santor beat starting goalkeeper Rich Akapnitis to push the advantage back to five. From that moment on the Jasper offense took over, scoring six straight goals in the next 7:29 of game time.
While the defense clamped down, Hodapp and McGrath each found the back of the net before Ryan Payton scored the first of his three goals to make it 8-6 Wagner at the half. Out of the break, Manhattan got three more goals from Tyler Jarvis, Greg Smith and Brett Madarasz to take their first lead of the game at 9-8 with 11:41 to play in the third.
Despite Wagner's David DeCirce tying the game up a mere 90 seconds later, Payton and Jarvis each registered man-up goals to put the Jaspers ahead 11-9 before DePhillips ended the period with a goal to make it a one-score game.
LeClaire, who led all players with four points, tied the game up at 11 apiece with his third goal of the game to begin the scoring in the fourth. From that point on, both defenses stood strong withstanding shot after shot. It would be Manhattan's will that prevailed as Hodapp found Payton with just 2:36 remaining for the game winning goal. The Seahawks would continue to look for the equalizer, even having an extra-man opportunity late, but could not convert.
Smith was huge for the Jaspers, winning 16 of 24 face offs along with picking up a game high 10 ground balls. He led a Manhattan team that had 30 ground balls to Wagner's 24 and went 16-27 in face offs.
"Greg was the difference today," said Head Coach Steve Manitta. "To get possessions off the faceoff and have opportunities to score is something this team has struggled with this season."
Payton led all Jaspers with three goals while Madarasz and Hodapp (one goal, two assists) each tied him for the team high with three points.
The defense also stepped up, forcing 14 turnovers including seven in a critical third period. They held Wagner to just 16-20 on clear attempts and a mere 2-7 on extra-man opportunities while converting on two of their three EMO's.
A change in net was also key for the Jaspers as Michael Wiatrak played the entire second half, making seven saves and allowing just three goals to earn the win. The sophomore's biggest stop came with three second remaining to preserve the victory. Akapnitis finished the day making four saves Nicholas Gibaldi made 15 for Wagner.
Manhattan now returns to league play as they travel to Detroit, Mich. to take on the Titans of Detroit on Sat., April 6. The game is set to begin at 1 p.m. from Titan Field.

From a wide position anywhere in an area between the edge of the penalty area and the touchline, approach the ball from the side that is furthest away from the goal. Lift your head up to take a look at the area you want to put the ball into. A good area to aim for is the 'second six-yard box' - this is an imaginary area that starts at the edge of the six-yard box and extends for six yards out from there. It is the same size and shape as the six yard box on the pitch marking.
Plant your non-kicking foot just behind the ball and bend your kicking leg so that your heel on that foot bends towards your backside - this generates the power to move the ball with a kick.
Put both arms out to your side to help keep your balance. Bring your kicking foot down towards the ball so that as your leg straightens to make contact, your foot moves in a crescent/arc shape towards the ball.
Lean back slightly to help lift the ball off the ground.
Using your instep make contact with the ball just below the centre in order to elevate the flight of the ball and twist your hips in the direction that you want the ball to move in. The arc of your foot's movement should ensure that the ball spins through the air, bending as it travels.
After making contact with the ball follow through with the kicking movement, plant both feet and be ready to move again in support of the ball.
