The revelation of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden that the government has a massive surveillance program has made people more concerned about their online privacy. Previously it was believed that having a strong password is enough to have a secure and private online presence. Right now this isn't the case as are various ways to track a person such as collecting their IP address, tracking cookies, and even location.
F-Secure wants to simplify the process of having a secure and private online presence by releasing Freedome. F-Secure Freedome is an app currently available at the Google Play store and the Apple App Store that makes a person untrackably invisible online with just a click of a button. According to the company "We've gathered the most sophisticated security features – VPN, anti-virus, anti-tracking, and anti-phishing – into one intuitive service. With the push of a button, Freedome watches your back."
Samu Konttinen, executive vice president Consumer Security at F-Secure, said that "Some say that loss of privacy is simply the price we pay to live in the digital age. We say no way. We're Finns who love technology and privacy, and we say both can exist together. If you'd like to take back your digital liberties and defend your privacy, join the Freedome movement."
So how does Freedome work? First you will need to install it on your Android device. It can be used on a device running on at least Android 4.0.3. It has four features that give users online anonymity. The best part of this all is that the app does not collect any user data nor does it require registration.
- Freedome lets you stay invisible. When your device connects to the Internet it will be using a specific IP address. The app masks your IP address so that your identity or location cannot be traced. This allows you to browse any website knowing that no one will be able to see you.
- Whenever we surf online various companies track our online usage with the data gathered usually sold to advertisers. Freedome has the ability to block these trackers giving people the ability to browse anonymously.
Safe Browsing
- We all know that most website carry malware in them that can be used to infect our devices. Freedome is able to scan for malware and tracking cookies and protects you from these harmful threats.
Wi-Fi Security
- Connecting to a Wi-Fi network in public places can usually be tricky. You will never know if someone is monitoring the connection. With this app installed in your device you will never have to worry about connecting to Wi-Fi in a public place as it creates a secure, encrypted connection from you and your device to the F-Secure Cloud. Your connection remains invisible in the Wi-Fi network and makes your data unreadable.
F-Secure Freedome is now available in the US, Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Russia. It comes with a monthly subscription fee of $4.99 or a yearly fee of $29.99

The legacy of classic cars
By Nina Russin
Although most of my writing these days is about new cars, I still have a passion for the classics. To me, there is nothing like stepping behind the wheel of a Packard Light Eight or Duesenberg Model J. The ingenuity and elegance of those cars makes my imagination soar, wondering what it must have been like to live in the time they were created.
Recently, I've drawn on my love of the classics to create some collections that celebrate special models such as the Willys-Overland Jeeps and FJ40 Land Cruisers. In addition, a collection celebrating Route 66, also called the Mother Road, brings together a variety of popular post-War models that drivers crossing the US in the 1950s and 60s might have seen along the way.
To quote Bob Troup's famous song: "Travel my way, take the highway that's the best." Drive a classic, and become part of its legacy.
Note: The #ebaycollections described above appear on eBay.com.

text: Hello everyone! Yesterday I purchased the Droid 2 and I'm experiencing some problems with my contact shortcuts. I have Facebook synced to all my contacts and all the information is correct and displays properly. The problem is when I go to add a contact shortcut to the home screen (Hold> Shortcuts> Contact> "Choose Contact") It display's a different contacts picture to desired contact's shortcut. :icon_evil: I have searched all over and talked to other Droid 2 owner's that are local and none of which have had this problem. I tried searching this site but did not specifically find my problem so I decided to post. I am pretty tech savvy but have never used the Android OS before yesterday and am getting very frustrated by this simple problem. Everything else on the phone is amazing! I can setup SSL IMAP email servers with the touch of a button, but I cannot make a picture show up where I want it :cus:

When I looked into Revel POS and I understood what they were offering and what their goals were, I treated them like a partner; I treated them like the fourth leg in our business model.- Solomon Sarwar, Chief Operations Officer, Posh Tomato, Oakhurst, NJ
Solomon Sarway, COO of Posh Tomato, opened his first pizza business with his brother in 2010. After only 5 years, the brothers now run four franchises with locations through New Jersey, New York and Connecticut.
Sarway's goal is to deliver the best upscale pizza experience, and selected Revel Systems iPad POS to grow with his business.
"It is extremely valuable as a franchisor to have Revel Systems, which only costs me around $3,000-$4,000 if I were to build another store, as opposed to $30,000-$40,000 with another system that is not scalable."
"Revel has always kept up with speed of service, allowing our lines to flow properly; this is extremely important to being successful and Revel consistently delivers."
Sarway has many plans to continue growing Posh Tomato and making it the #1 healthy and upscale pizza alternative. He knew that Revel could act as his partner and scale with his business, while streamlining operations and making remote management simple. Revel's model and dedicated team has helped Posh Tomato reach success, and Sarway looks forward to a long future between his business and Revel Systems.

text: Four years into their relationship, New York City twentysomethings Daryl (Daryl Wein) and Zoe (Zoe Lister-Jones) love each other but are bored silly; the sex is rote, the daily routines irritating. Rather than break up bitterly, they agree to part ways slowly, by taking "days off" from their relationship before eventually beginning to see other people. At first, their plan seems daring, in a gimmicky way, but gradually, slowly, they really do begin to move apart, and, at different points, each starts to mourn the loss of the other. Reportedly drawing on their own romantic relationship, Wein and Lister-Jones have co-written a low-budget romantic comedy that's smart and lively and, in the end, quite affecting. Making his feature debut, Wein, who made the superb AIDS documentary Sex Positive, directs in a free and easy style that occasionally feels aimless, until one remembers that aimlessness is a crucial part of being young. Buoyed by character actors such as Peter Friedman, Julie White, and Andrea Martin, as well as the charismatic young star-to-be, Pablo Schreiber, Breaking Upwards is, in the end, all about the loving looks Daryl shoots Zoe, and she shoots back.

A Table for How Many? at the Shaved Duck
Stefani Pollack
October 01, 2009 at 3:08 PM
The Shaved Duck
2900 Virginia Avenue
I'm Late for a Very Important Date
My husband and I were late to Dinner Club. We knew that we were dealing with adults, but still we worried about the other members fending for themselves. Would chaos ensue? Sadly -- for our egos -- we weren't needed. We arrived to find our group at a big table happily chatting away and sipping their drinks. The Shaved Duck had prepared a table for us despite its policy of not taking reservations. Don't expect that the Shaved Duck's staff will always do that, but their extra effort for a large party on a slow Monday night was appreciated.
(Note: The restaurant is open on Mondays despite what their website says.)
The quality service didn't stop at getting us a table. We received continuous attention throughout our meal and the payment process went flawlessly -- even with separate checks.
View Larger Map
I'll Try That, Too
No one wants to drink alone. I've found that when dining in large groups, people will order different entrées, often to share -- yet even with a large beer and wine list, if one person orders a drink, others will be more likely to order that same drink. I suppose that's because we think sharing drinks is more germ-laden than sharing food?
The drink of choice at this Dinner Club was Crown Valley Worktruck Wheat. Everyone got excited when our server mentioned that it had notes of banana. Even if you can't taste the banana -- I couldn't -- I'd recommend the beer as a good excuse to keep drinking: "Maybe on this next beer I'll be able to taste the banana."
What's on the Table?
The Shaved Duck specializes in barbecue. According to its website, "You will find us out back day and night smoking our meats." No Dinner Club members stepped out back to verify this claim, but given the high quality of their food, we trust it. Like many barbecue joints, there were sauces in squeeze bottles on the table. While my husband tasted each one on his finger pre-meal, the more civilized patrons were left wondering what surprise each bottle would bring. Our server did eventually explain them, but it was still hard to tell which was which as the bottles all looked similar. Labels would have been nice. (Not that we could have gone wrong using any of them, as each was unique and enjoyable.)
In addition to the barbecue sauces, the Shaved Duck has wet wipes on the table. I loved this because I didn't need to reach into Baby Pollack's diaper bag fpr one of his wet wipes, but even those without babies appreciated the extra touch.
Solid Gold
There are those restaurants that wow you, but you still wouldn't go there every day. Maybe they are too expensive or maybe the food is just too unusual. Then there are those that are solid everyday choices. The Shaved Duck is one of those places that we could all see ourselves going back to again and again. It's simple, but not boring, with exceptional service and food that bursts with flavor.
Stefani Pollack is the author of the food blogs Cupcake Project and Food Interviews. She is also a member of the St. Louis Dinner Club. She blogs about her large-group dining experiences twice a month for Gut Check.

Background and Objectives: Eating behavior is a key factor which affects dietary intakes and health. As the prevalence of anxiety among university students is high and its probable effect on eating behaviors, current study was done to evaluate the relationship between anxiety and eating behaviors among students at Universities of Ahvaz and Tehran.
Materials and Methods: Three hundred and forty students from Tehran and Ahvaz Universities participated in this study. A general questionnaire was completed by all subjects. Anxiety was assessed using Spielberger questionnaire that showed two classes of obvious and hidden anxiety. Dutch eating behavior questionnaire was used to assess emotional, external and restrained eating behaviors.
Results: The results of the study showed that there is no significant difference between students in two mentioned cities for levels of anxiety. However, there are significant differences in emotional and external eating behaviors in different levels of obvious (p=0.019, p=0.013 respectively) and hidden (p=0.002, p=0.023 respectively) anxiety.
Conclusion: The results demonstrated the relationship between anxiety and eating behavior and confirmed that the reduction of anxiety may improve eating behavior.

After a neurotransmitter molecule has been recognized by a post-synaptic receptor, it is released back into the synaptic cleft. Once in the synapse, it must be quickly removed or chemically inactivated in order to prevent constant stimulation of the post-synaptic cell and an excessive firing of action potentials.
Some neurotransmitters are removed from the synaptic cleft by special transporter proteins on the pre-synaptic membrane. These transporter proteins carry the neurotransmitter back into the pre-synaptic cell, where it is either re-packaged into a vesicle and stored until it is once again needed to transmit a chemical message, or broken down by enzymes. Serotonin is one neurotransmitter that gets recycled in this way. Serotonin, a small-molecule neurotransmitter found in many areas throughout the brain, is involved in a wide range of behaviors, including sleep, appetite, memory, sexual behavior, neuroendocrine function, and mood.
Not all neurotransmitters are recycled by the presynaptic cell. Neuropeptide neurotransmitters merely quickly diffuse away from the receptors into the surrounding medium. One important neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, has a specialized enzyme for inactivation right in the synaptic cleft called acetylcholinesterase (AChE. AChE is an enzyme present at all cholinergic synapses which serves to inactivate acetylcholine by hydrolysis. Acetylcholine (ACh), an excitatory small-molecule neurotransmitter found at various locations throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and at all neuromuscular junctions, is composed of acetate and choline. AChE breaks ACh into its component parts; acetate and choline. After hydrolysis, acetate quickly diffuses into the surrounding medium, while choline gets taken back into the presynaptic cell by a high affinity choline uptake (HACU) system. Choline is then recycled by the pre-synaptic cell for use in the synthesis of more ACh.
A. Enzymatic inactivation of neurotransmitters
1. Acetylcholinesterase: a representative inactivation enzyme
B. Presynaptic transporters: inactivation of neurotransmitters by reuptake
4. Transporter inhibition: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors

Dude, one more and you'll blow right through the stack ceiling!
Product PRT-11475 about 6 years ago
I love these connectors, but they're decidedly not even water resistant. Made the mistake of using a pair on my R/C boat - not good. You could probably mod them to be slightly resistant by adding some grease, but I wouldn't go that route unless you really need to.
No public wish lists :(

"The Great Picture" is the world's largest photograph taken with the biggest camera in the world. I love the fact that my little digital camera with 7 mega pixels fits in my pocket and can be taken anywhere, but I don't think a giant jet air craft hangar sized camera will ever be very popular!
In July this year the Guinness Book of Records certified the hangar as the largest camera in the world, measuring 13.71 x 48.76 x 24.38 m (45 x 160 x 80 ft). The photograph was also confirmed to be the largest photograph on canvas, measuring 9.62 x 33.83 m (31ft 7in x 111ft).
The photo depicts the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station. It is currently on show at the Art Center College of Design, South Campus Wind Tunnel, Pasadena, California until the 29th of September.
The Legacy Project says "The photograph is a magnificent tribute to a historic turning point in Orange County history as well as a statement about the evolution of the photographic medium, hand versus mechanical/technological processes, and the importance of "vision machines" to the advancement of culture." See more about the making of the picture and the Legacy Project.

Bronze mirror
The Lydians and their World Cat. 134
- Date

- Material

- Object Type
- Metalwork
- Metalwork Type
- Cosmetic or Surgical Implement
- Site
- Sardis
- Locus
- Tomb 213
- Description
- Large bronze mirror. Circular disk with reflecting surfaces on both sides; the surfaces are slightly convex, so the image would be smaller than natural. Border is decorated with geometric designs (on one side, guilloche and triangles; on the other, guilloche and meander). Around edge of mirror, beads attached to mirror by means of small spikes; many beads missing, leaving the spikes exposed. Handle terminates in calf's head, and is attached to the mirror disk with a separate clamp, decorated with two horse protomes back-to-back. Handle inlaid with alternating rings of different metals (Butler: "bronze, iron, and silver;" Oliver: "perhaps silver or antimony"). Diameter of disk 0.215 m, length of mirror 0.355 m.
- Comments
- Excavated at Sardis in 1911 by the Butler Expedition, in Tomb 213. This tomb also contained the gold rattle No. 135, another bronze mirror, a silver Achaemenid bowl (IAM 9740), another silver bowl, a pyramidal stamp seal with gold mount (IAM 4522), two gold rings (IAM 4548, 4550), a chain of gold and carnelian beads (IAM 4571), a ceramic "ampulla," a ceramic lamp, and seven stone alabastra. The form, with a handle ending in a calf's head terminal, and a round "working element" attached by means of animals, is reminiscent of the bronze incense burner from the Lydian Treasure, No. 173. The calf's-head terminals are common in Achaemenid-period metalwork in Anatolia (cf. Nos. 192, 193). The horse protomes have been compared to column imposts at Iranian sites such as Pasargadae and Persepolis, and seem a particularly Achaemenid motif.

Im here to tell you about an exciting opportunity to get involved in helping others! :)
This summer (July 23 - Aug. 1) of 2017, a group of Physical Therapy classmates, doctors, dentists, nurses and other spirited individuals will go on a journey to serve in Haiti, and will be partnering with a local Charity in Haiti to give free health care to those who cant afford it :) But beyond that, we would like to help them even further!
We have learned that there is a great need for funds to build two classrooms at a local school, and the cost of those classrooms are about $3500 a room. Currently the school has grown beyond its capacity and desperately needs these rooms to be built bring in more students! Even further though, our group would like to send at least 25 kids to school for one year, and the cost to send a child to school for a month is about $8.30! We are also looking to raise at least $500 to send supplies, like clothes, toothpaste, books, pencils etc... In total, we would like to raise at least $10,000, but thanks to some already generous donations, we have already raised our first $1000 :) and we need your help to raise the remaining $9000!
For $8.30, you can help sponsor a child to go to school for 1 month!
For $100 dollars, you can help sponsor a child for 1 year!
For $500 dollars, you can help sponsor some much needed supplies!
For $3500, you can help build a much needed classroom!
Although these amounts may seem expensive, they are not impossible! And don't feel like you have to donate whats listed above! Any amount you could help sponsor would be a tremendous blessing! :)
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for anything you can contribute to this wonderful cause!
"Matthew 19:26 "Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
May the Lord Bless You

This June Glossybox is back to the original packaging with the pink glossy trade mark box.
I feel this month is more of a summer product range.
What's inside?
Serie Exclusiv Pro Beauty Brush - "This classic series natural goat hair blush brush gives a supersoft
make-up application." RRP : £15.00
I was very pleased to see a brush included with this Glossybox! I love make-up brushes and have been in need of a new blush brush, i also love the trade mark on the brush as well. The only real let down is the quality of the brush, it certainly shouldn't be priced at £15.00, the bristles are not dense enough and it almost feels 'flimsy' when applying blush on the face. However i will use this brush as it is handy to take on holiday or just general use (i don't use blusher that often).
Mini Mascara ultra-volume Sexy Pulp - "An innovative maxi-brush with generous curves for a lash plumping result. 12-hour wear." RRP £16.90
This is my favorite product that i received in this box! I love this mascara (and i don't say i love very many mascaras so this is rare). The formula goes on to your lashes like a dream and it coats every single lash in one sweep. The mascara definitely made my lashes look a lot longer and thicker and it also lasted for a very long time unlike others that i have tried. I also love the shape of the brush, its very large and curvy to create that plumping effect. The mascara is quite pricey at £16.90,
but i think it would be worth your money for sure.
Summer Warmth Bronzer - " Multi-purpose pure-mineral bronzer. Add a touch of summer warmth to your face." RRP - £8.00
I don't own very many bronzers, so this was a nice product for me to try out. Once applied and blended this product gives your skin as described a very nice warm summery glow which would be ideal for the beach or even for a summer night out. This sample was quite a fair size, as a little bit definitely goes a long way with this bronzer. Unfortunately the tub slipped out of my hands and went all over the floor which was a very messy job. Somehow i still managed to save a small amount of the product so it could have been a lot worse.
I would say that you have to be careful when using this product and you have to be prepared for some pigment going astray but over all i'd say that it would be very worth your money and isn't overly expensive.
Eau Provocateur - " A new collection of three new feminine, sensual and tantalizing day fragrances."
RRP - £39.00 per bottle.
I do love smelling and trying out new fragrances, these three however are not to my taste. They are all very womanly scents and being a teenager i prefer younger sweeter scents to the strong musky notes that these testers contain. I do feel that if i were an older middle-aged woman that i would quite like these fragrances as they definitely are aimed at that target market in my opinion. My favorite out of the three would have to be the red bottled one which is called "Maitresse" and this is a far less musky smelling fragrance with some sweeter smelling notes.
Dermablend Ultra-Corrective Foundation Cream Stick - " Vichy's expert camouflage foundation stick for minor to severe skin flaws." £19.00
This product is nice, and you can tell it is a very high quality foundation. It's more of a full coverage foundation as it has to tackle skin severities. This product is not really for me however, i would use it for a concealer on any blemishes etc but it is too full coverage for my liking. I tested it out and i also found that near the end of the day my blemishes were not fully covered anymore, but if it was touched up about mid- day there would be no problem.
Overall this Glossybox was a success for me, all of the products i received i was fairly happy with and i will be using them all!

Also is it useful to create and send RSS feeds from your bookmarks links, and also maybe pinging them ? Or does Google crawl and index bookmarks much more and much faster than for articles, blog comments for example ? Not very hard questions but I would like to know what you think/know Thanks !

Nasheed rejects police summons; Mathai in Male
With the political crisis in Maldives persisting, ousted president Mohammad Nasheed rejected a police summons to record his statement on his controversial order to arrest a key judge, even as India's top diplomat arrived in Male today to take stock of the situation.world Updated: Feb 15, 2012 21:56 IST
With the political crisis in Maldives persisting, ousted president Mohammad Nasheed rejected a police summons to record his statement on his controversial order to arrest a key judge, even as India's top diplomat arrived in Male on Wednesday to take stock of the situation.
Maldives new President Mohammed Waheed Hassan named Mohammed Waheed Deen, a minister in the government of former autocratic leader Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, as his deputy.
Deen's appointment followed Hassan's assertion that he would appoint a Vice President with no political affiliations.
Hassan also denied allegations of a coup and said Nasheed had resigned after realising that he had lost the confidence of the people as well as that of his own administration, in particular the law and order enforcement arms.
"On his own accord, he (Nasheed) resigned, although he later claimed he had been ousted in a violent 'coup'," Hassan was quoted by his office as telling BBC Radio 4.
Amidst stepped up efforts by India and other key members of the international community to help ease the crisis, foreign secretary Ranjan Mathai arrived in Male on Wednesday evening for talks with Maldivian leaders.
Mathai, who is accompanied by Harsvardhan Shringla, joint secretary (Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Maldives) in the external affairs ministry, is scheduled to hold talks with Hassan and then Nasheed, who has expressed his disappointment with India's stand on the turn of events here.
Last week, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had sent his special envoy M Ganapathi, who held talks with both Hassan and Nasheed and sought a peaceful solution to the complex situation.
Since Nasheed's resignation, there have been a slew of diplomatic visits here from various countries, including US. Currently, an EU team is in Male.
Nasheed met the EU delegation and sought its support for his demand for early elections in the country.
"We want a mandate from the people as soon as possible. We want to go for elections as soon as possible," Maria Didi, an MP from Nasheed's Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), told reporters after the former President's meeting with the EU delegation.
Nasheed's meeting with the EU delegation came as he rejected police summons to record his statement.
The former president "will not speak to the police," which had sought his statement in connection with its probe into his order to the military to arrest a judge during his tenure, that had led to street protests culminating in his resignation, sources close to the ousted President said.
Police had on Tuesday said that Nasheed, who claims that he was forced to step down, was not cooperating with them.
Meanwhile, the Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) of former ruler Gayoom said international community cannot interfere with the internal affairs of Maldives unless we "welcome" them to do so, according to a media report.
"We believe that the international community has no role in the internal affairs of our country, they must keep their actions within acceptable contours, they should also respect our culture and religion," Haveeru quoted PPM spokesperson and Gayoom's daughter Dhunya Maumoon as saying.
She added, "We welcome independent institutions to investigate the transition of power, as there can be no lesson learnt unless we determine the events that led up to the incident."
Although the international community has so far been "deceived" by Nasheed's theatrics and it hailed him for introducing democracy in the nation, his "unconstitutional" actions would be revealed to the whole world, Maumoon said.
Maumoon's comments came amid claims by Nasheed that the PPM had a role to play in his ouster.

The Office of Fair Trading describes the following as one of the most serious abuses of debt management that it has encountered.
In the frame is Matthew St John Crossley, who traded as the Debt Advisory Company.
He advised consumers that the best way to solve their debt problems was by re-mortgaging their houses.
This released up to £30,000 of equity, which Crossley was supposed to use to pay off their debts.
But the OFT found that:
*Crossley didn't return money to his customers when they asked for it;
*Didn't pay off their debts.
*Charged disproportionately large fees.
*Misled consumers about his service to entice them to sign-up.
The Debt Advisory Company was based in Exeter but ripped-off victims nationwide.
The OFT has now revoked Crossley's consumer credit licence. If he was to carry on offering debt management services in the UK he would be committing a criminal offence, but the thief (I think that's a fair description) is now believed to be living abroad.
Ray Watson, OFT Director for Consumer Credit, said:
"This is one of the most serious cases involving debt management services we have encountered. We have evidence that consumers parted with tens of thousands of pounds and suffered increased financial hardship as a result of Mr St John Crossley's activities.
"Following their dealings with Mr St John Crossley one consumer was forced to sell his home, another was bankrupted and another found himself facing bankruptcy and the loss of his home.
"If consumers with debt problems need help in resolving their financial problems, they can obtain free advice from a range of charities and organisations. Under no circumstances should they seek such advice from Mr St John Crossley."

Retention is the number one issue facing higher education today and we believe EBI has the best platform in the market in MAP-Works.
New York, NY (PRWEB) May 22, 2012
Macmillan, the global education and media company, today announced that it has acquired Educational Benchmarking, Inc. (EBI). EBI has been servicing institutions of higher education since 1993, and currently works with over 1,500 college and universities nationwide. EBI will join the Macmillan New Ventures portfolio of innovative education technology companies. Macmillan New Ventures plans to maintain EBI's Springfield, Missouri location and keep the development teams intact while providing it with operational scale and access to thousands of new customers. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
EBI's MAP-Works platform is widely recognized as a leader in student success and retention. Higher education administrators rely on EBI's platform, which integrates with all ERP/SIS systems, for a comprehensive view of institutional performance. MAP-Works provides administrators with an assessment of risk of individual students dropping out, and provides a comprehensive solution of intervening with at-risk students, and managing the intervention across multiple departments and entities across campus. Student retention is an increasingly important issue for educational institutions. Only 56% of college students complete a four-year degree within six years, and only 29% of those who start a two-year degree finish within three years.
In addition to MAP-Works, EBI clients leverage the company's national benchmarking assessments for continuous improvement and in support of accreditation. The company offers over 50 nationally-benchmarked academic and student affairs assessments. A video with EBI founder and CEO Dr. Joseph Pica about the underlying principles of EBI's assessment offerings can be viewed here.
"Retention is the number one issue facing higher education today and we believe EBI has the best platform in the market in MAP-Works," said Troy Williams, Vice President of Macmillan and General Manager of Macmillan New Ventures. "EBI shares Macmillan's mission to improve the quality of the college experience, and has done so for decades with its research-based, data-powered approach. When we met the team, we immediately felt that they were mission-driven to develop products that actually work and make a difference in student outcomes. The company was built by and is run by people who understand success from the inside-out. Now, we get to apply new scale to their proven science. This is about making sure that students everywhere get the attention, and ultimately the education, that they deserve."
With EBI, Macmillan adds to its portfolio of tools that provide administrators and educators with personalized data on individual student performance. And much like other Macmillan New Ventures products, such as PrepU and i>clicker, EBI was developed by educators for educators, another common investment theme for the division. MAP-Works in particular was the result of a unique collaboration between the EBI founders and Ball State University.
"Joining forces with Macmillan will give us the resources to more effectively develop both the MAP-Works platform and our benchmarking services, and better meet our customer's current and future needs," said Dr. Joseph Pica, CEO of EBI. "We spoke with many potential partners and feel that Macmillan uniquely shares our mission and values, and is committed to the long term success of our solutions. I firmly believe that this combination will result in better outcomes for our employees, our clients and their students."

I've been playing with the crochet thread a lot lately, and the focus has been soap bags. I had to adapt the pattern I used before to accommodate the local soapmakers' larger sized bars, but I think I'll keep this pattern to myself for a while as they have expressed an interest in selling my soapbags.
First, the original soapbag next to my first adaptation:
|size-adapted on left, original on right
|Soapbag in UK blue with the beer soap
So now I need to get the soap in the "right" color soap bag to son, who is having a great time as a college freshman 200 miles away from home. I'm starting to miss him, although I am glad he sounds so positive and excited about this new phase in his life.

Blood and Blades is a simple wargame ruleset for little soldiers generals who want entertaining battles without using markers. It owes a lot to Phil Barker who invented DBA and to Phil Barker and Richard Bodley-Scott for their famous rulesets HOTT and DBM and to Phil Barker again for DBMM. It aims to be different from each one. It is more alike HOTT but for historicals. It does pick up good ideas from other rulesets and have a few mechanisms of its own.
Blood and Blades is played with armies from 3000BC to 705BC. Extending to more recent periods will come later with version 2.
Blood and Blades is a new project for having a free ruleset to play with toy soldiers in 15mm or 25/28mm scales. It is both free as beer and free as free speech. But it is not born from the void and it is an heir of mostly DBA and also DBM and DBMM of which it requires the army lists book (volume 1 only) to get its army lists because its main objective was to be interoperable with them. Why redo them if you can work with them? So Blood and Blades, which can be abbreviated as BaB, does use the troop types of DBM and DBMM, although with some adaptation.

Si Tiene Pegno in Guardaroba
Gold coins bearing the House of Este countermark in the Medici coin cabinet
The excitement of bringing to light real people and real events from the pages of a manuscript, a document, or the careful study of a group of coins—in this case we follow a trail of events which began in Modena and led, after a brief Venetian sojourn, to Florence, where it concluded within the walls of the old Monte di Pietà.
The heirless death of Alfonso II, Duke of Modena and Ferrara, had reignited papal ambitions to bring Ferrara back within the fold of the Papal States' possessions. It was thus that the House of Este moved from Ferrara to Modena, a move that brought with it dire repercussions for the duchy's finances and a consequent economical crisis which drove Cesare d'Este, not recognized by the church as a legitimate Este descendant, to mortgage jewelry and coins from the family collection to the Monte di Pietà of Venice, first, and then to the Monte di Pietà of Florence.
In 1646, the group of goods deposited, which also included the family coin collection, was finally, definitively released. At the same time, the interests of the avid collectors Grand Duke Ferdinando II and cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici were sufficiently piqued to bring the two to acquire a substantial group of those Greek, Roman, and Byzantine coins for the Medici coin cabinet.---

Gossip Girl Season 4 Episode 15: "It-Girl Happened One Night" Quotes
Eric: I have a hot date with a vehicle filled with hot meals. I would feel sorry for myself except I am delivering food to people too sick to cook.
Dan: Hey, at least it would be original.
Eric: Jonathan was never one for clichés.
Eric: Hey, thanks for meeting me.
Dan: I'm surprised my dad and Lily let you out of the house, even for food.
Eric: Oh, well it might have something to do with my volunteering. Or voluntary drug testing. Look, the schnitzel's on me. I'm sorry about lying last week.
Dan: Oh, thanks. Have you heard from Damien?
Eric: Oh, no, actually. Knowing the ambassador, after you told him he was dealing I'm sure he had him exiled to some very cold, very distant country.
Chuck: Do you actually know why your father hates mine? I always assumed it was a business deal gone bad, but maybe there's more to it.
Raina: I don't think so. My dad's too much of a gentleman to hold a grudge. And honestly, I don't even know how seriously they were. Either of them. I was at Penn at the time. Why? What did Lily say?
Chuck: Lily? Say about what?
Raina: You didn't know? She and my dad used to date. She left him for your father.
Blair: As you can see, I don't have time to read faux-ticles by wannabe writers.
Dan: Blair. Please. I'll apply for another internship if I have to and get back in the ring with you. You remember our wrestling match?
Blair: How about you apply yourself to a job more within your breeding? Isn't there a Bat Mitzvah girl somewhere in need of a Shirley Temple?
Blair still has feelings for Chuck so... if she follows you around on Valentine's Day she's gonna be hurt. And if she finds out I ever told you this, I'm gonna be hurt.Serena
Serena: So you sound pretty excited about tomorrow. Loke maybe it's not just another night of hanging out with Chuck, business-as-usual.
Raina: I guess that's true. At first it was purely for the sex.
Serena: That's Chuck.
Raina: No, I meant me.
Chuck: Russell didn't become a billionaire by making money-losing decisions.
Nate: Look, you told me he had an issue with Bart, right? So maybe it isn't a business decision. Maybe it's personal.
Uh oh. B's in for a shock when she finds out what she thought was as fake as a CZ is actually as real as Harry Winston.Gossip Girl
Serena: Blair has to follow a socialite around on Valentine's Day. It's for work. She figured you wouldn't mind since everything with Raina is... you know.
Chuck: "I know," what?
Serena: Oh. Blair was wrong. You do have feelings for Raina.
I'll put a pin in my current plans for 36 hours. If this thing you've planned succeeds, we'll talk.Russell
I say where and when, people show up.Chuck
Imagine you're at a club. Forget the year, the continent. You don't want the night to end. In this case it doesn't have to. When the time is right you drift upstairs to a private room. You spend the night or just a few hours—it's up to you.Chuck

Carbohydrates Lecture II Highlights
1.Linking together of more than one sugar residues creates higher order saccharides. These include disaccharides (two sugars), trisaccharides (three sugars), oligosaccharides (several sugars), and polysaccharides (many sugars).
2. Most of the linkages in higher order saccharides involve glycosidic bonds.
3. Disaccharides include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (two glucoses). Linkages of these are shown in the figures in the notes.
4. Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar (has no free anomeric hydroxyl), whereas lactose is a reducing sugar (has a single free anomeric hydroxyl). The sucrose figure in your book shows a confusing structure. HERE is a better one. You are responsible for the structure of sucrose and the linkages for the disaccharides I described in class.
5. Oligosaccharides are components of glycoproteins.
6. The most common polysaccharides include glycogen (energy storage in animals), cellulose (structural integrity in plants), starch (energy storage in plants), chitin (exoskeleton of insects).
7. Polysaccharides can be homopolymers (contain only one sugar residue) or heteropolymers (contain more than one sugar residue). Homopolymers include glycogen (glucose in alpha 1-4 linkages plus extensive alpha 1-6 branches), cellulose (glucose in beta 1-4 linkages), amylose (glucose in alpha 1-4 linkages), amylopectin (glucose in alpha 1-4 linkages plus some alpha 1-6 branches), and chitin (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in beta 1-4 linkages).
8. Glycogen is an animal energy storage polysaccharide, amylopectin and amylose combine to form starch, which is a plant energy storage polysaccharide, cellulose is a plant structural polysaccharide, and chitin is a component of insect exoskeletons.
9. The enzyme cellulase is required to digest the beta 1-4 bonds of cellulose. Most animals do not contain cellulase. Ruminants and ungulates contain the bacterium that makes that enzyme.
10. Glycosaminoglycans are polysaccharides that contain either N-acetylgalactosamine or N-acetylglucosamine as one of their monomeric units. They are polyanionic and have interesting chemical properties, as a result. Examples include chondroitin sulfates and keratan sulfates of connective tissue, dermatan sulfates, heparin, hyaluronic acid, and others.
11. Proteoglycans are complexes of proteins and glycosaminoglycans that form feathery structures.
12. Glycoproteins consist of a protein linked to an oligosaccharide, usually via an 'N' or an 'O' linkage. N linkages occur through asparagine of the protein. O linkages occur across serine or threonine of the protein.
13. Oligosaccharides on proteins (glycoproteins) and lipids (glycolipids) have functions in cellular identity and can be recognized and bound by immunoglobulins.
14. Oligosaccharides on the surface of cells help give them their identity. For example, A,B, and O blood group antigens give rise to the various blood types and these arise from carbohydrates on their cell surfaces.
15. Transplanted organs suffer rejection when the new organ has a different oligosaccharide pattern than the organ the recipient originally had. This encourages the immune system to attack it as foreign.
16. All N-linked glycoproteins have the same core of five carbohydrate residues.
17. N-linked glycoproteins have glycosylation (addition of carbohydrate residues) occurring in the endoplamic reticulum and Golgi complex of the cell. O-linked glycoproteins have glycosylation occuring only in the Golgi complex.
18. Movement of modified proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex allows for additional carbohydrate modifications to occur, followed by targeting to 1) the cell membrane, 2) release from the cell, or 3) the lysosome.
19. Two terms I overlooked mentioning in the lecture that you should be aware of are Haworth structures and Fischer projections. Haworth structures refer to the ring forms of sugars. The straight chain forms are referred to as a Fischer projections.
20. Oligosaccharides destined to be linked to proteins to make glycoproteins are "built" on dolichol phosphate on the outer portion of the endoplasmic reticulum and then this "flips" to the inside for attachment.

It is a rare occasion when a team wins an argument with a referee. But that was the case with the Washington Bullets and National Basketball Association official Steve Javie, who has been disciplined by the league for "overreacting" in ejecting center Pervis Ellison in the fourth quarter of the Bullets' game with the Portland Trail Blazers at the Capital Centre Thursday.
Javie also ejected Bullets guard Darrell Walker and head coach Wes Unseld and called four technicals against Washington in less than two minutes. But the NBA only faulted him for tossing Ellison with 5 minutes, 37 seconds remaining in the Blazers' 105-96 victory.
In an April 5 letter to Rod Thorn, NBA vice president of operations, Bullets owner Abe Pollin complained about Javie's actions.

At first glance, the flourishing of religion on campuses seems to reverse trends long criticized by conservatives under the rubric of political correctness. But, in truth, something else is occurring. Once again, right and left have become mirror images of each other; religious correctness is simply the latest version of political correctness. Indeed, it seems the more religious students become, the less willing they are to engage in critical reflection about faith.
The chilling effect of these attitudes was brought home to me two years ago when an administrator at a university where I was then teaching called me into his office. A student had claimed that I had attacked his faith because I had urged him to consider whether Nietzsche's analysis of religion undermines belief in absolutes. The administrator insisted that I apologize to the student. (I refused.)
My experience was not unique. Today, professors invite harassment or worse by including unacceptable books on their syllabuses or by studying religious ideas and practices in ways deemed improper by religiously correct students.
Dan Bosley was appointed Patrick's economic development adviser. The 53-year-old is the second state legislator tapped to serve in the incoming administration, following Worcester state Rep. James Leary, who was chosen as Lt. Gov.-elect Tim Murray's chief of staff.Looks like the cup of coffee I promised Dan will have to wait a while. Hopefully he'll still read the local blogs.
Bosley is the House chairman of the Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies.
It seems congratulations are in order for the town of Adams, again. A whole host of state officials joined the party Monday for the latest Greylock Glen send-off — this time a $44 million project that no one would dream to call a resort but that everyone, including the dreaded environmentalists, seems to like — for now.Was the toss-away phrase "dreaded environmentalists" meant as sarcasm? Or was it meant as a not-so-subtle slam? Honestly, I am not sure.
Greg: Thank you for the left-handed compliment. But why not ask me your questions directly? Better yet, why not write a letter to the editor or a column on the topic? Why limit discussion to your circle of bloggers in hyperspace when your thoughts could be read (and potentially responded to) by thousands?And to answer Glen's question to me, yes, I will be writing more columns as soon as I can find a few hours of solitude at a time to write. I wouldn't miss it. 2007 is going to be a banner year for opinion writers in North Adams.
This is, of course, an oblique plea for people to read and participate in their community newspaper, as newspapers everywhere battle to keep their print versions viable.
But to answer your main question, I used the term "dreaded environmentalists" because, as anyone who has followed the history of the Greylock Glen knows, environmental groups have effectively killed all previous proposals, dating back to the Heritage group's plan for 1,250 condos and a golf course in the late 1980s. They also killed the idea (which a lot of people liked) of creating a 25-acre lake on the site.
Town officials over the years have consistently lamented (often in letters to the editor) the opposition to Glen developments from environmental groups, such as Mass Audubon, the Sierra Club, the Berkshire Natural Resources Council, Applachian Mountain Club, etc. Many believe that, without that opposition, there would have been a golf course and housing up there in the early 1990s, if not by 2000.
That is one reason this latest project holds some promise: Mass Audubon, the AMC and the Berkshire Natural Resources Council seem to be on board. I say SEEM because we haven't got to the final master plan and the "land disposition agreement" yet, which is where all previous projects failed. It's where environmentalists, some of whom had agreed in theory to those projects, used all their clout and every legal means to stall or block them.
Hence, to many in Adams, environmentalists are indeed dreaded. (And I must note, the Glen is by no means the only development project environmentalists have tried to stall or block -- sometimes effectively, sometimes not. The controversy over windmills is the most immediate case in point – all the more interesting because it has pitted environmentalists against environmentalists).
Sorry to be long-winded (no pun intended) but please remember, one of the reasons environmental groups objected to previous Glen projects was that the developers (backed by the state and the town) continually added things on to the original plans. Who's to say that won't happen again when we get beyond the "concept plan" now under discussion?
I, for one, thank the environmentalists for their diligence. If not for them, the Glen would be overrun by timeshares or worse. And do not forget that it was largely the work of environmental groups that exposed the state's questionable (at best) selection of Chris Fleming as the developer of the last failed project.
Over-cautionary? As pointed out in the editorial, Adams has seen the
fanfare and these dog and pony shows before only to end up with nothing.
We'll see what happens this time around. There's a long, long way to go.

Sessions, asked why Sweeney was so angry and shocked about his loss, said: "John was disappointed that some frailties in his life were contributing issues to his defeat." He said Sweeney has been ill and his blood pressure had risen.I hope the guy comes out of this OK, but this type of stuff coming from one of his best friends, Pete Sessions (R-TX), makes me wonder if all the stories about Sweeney being a little too close to the edge are perhaps more true than not.
Sweeney believes he picked up "a bug" during congressional trips to Iraq and Afghanistan, according to Sessions.
"A bug got into his system and lodged in his brain," Sessions said. "It caused unimaginable pain and stress."

Just Trombones keep tempo year 'round
When Rich Harner was a kid in Pennsylvania, he wanted to learn to play a musical instrument, and he picked trombone because of the cool race-car noises it could make.
By Kris Winterton
Daily News/JASON JOHNS
Members of the aptly named local band Just Trombones are devoted to one instrument, the trombone. Clockwise from bottom center are Allan Fitzgerald, Rich Harner, Ken Feneley, Hal Smith, Erik Ludwig, Sherry Wielinski, Dave Gessford, Sue Gessford and John Hull.
When Sue Gessford was a kid in Ohio, some people thought her arms were too short to play the trombone. She proved them wrong.
When Rich Harner was a kid in Pennsylvania, he wanted to learn to play a musical instrument, and he picked trombone because of the cool race-car noises it could make.
Now that Gessford and Harner are adults, they can look back on decades of enjoyment theyve had, playing their trombones with many different groups. One of their current pleasures is being part of a group called Just Trombones.
Just Trombones has taken years to evolve. Its precursor originated around 1988, when a fellow named Al Johnson got four trombone players together to play at the Homer United Methodist Churchs Holy Walk.
"In the early 1990s, eight to 12 trombonists who were members of the Midland Concert Band performed in the lobby before the Christmas concerts the bands trombone section plus two other people, Harner said. "We used to call ourselves the MCB trombone ensemble." For several years, whenever Al came back to Midland at Christmas-time, the musicians would get together and make music.
Eventually, Just Trombones adopted its distinctive name and went from doing Christmas music to performing all during the year. In the past few years, members have played at a wedding, a funeral, an ordination, a retirees party, and many church events. They perform for senior citizens and hospital patients. At times, four members perform together; other times, more, depending on the occasion. Every year during the holiday season, Just Trombones performs at the Midland Mall and Fashion Square Mall.
One of the groups hallmarks is four-part harmony. "Four-part stuff is so much fun," Gessford said. "I love the sound I love hearing all the parts. We sometimes have as many as 16 people playing four on a part. There are 20 people on our roster."
Gessford serves as the groups coordinator and scheduler, while Harner directs the group musically, by setting tempo for pieces and keeping everyone together. The repertoire is traditional pieces arranged for trombones. The group rehearses twice a month.
Most members are Midlanders; some are from Bay City, Freeland, Clare and Saginaw. High school students have joined in, and most of them continue with the group through college, whenever they return to Midland.
Harners son, Jason Harner, plays trombone and also baritone. He played baritone with Michigan State Universitys Spartan Marching Band for four years. Jason performs with Just Trombones every Christmas season. Gessfords husband, Dave, is in Just Trombones.
Gessford said the group occasionally gets paid for engagements, but mostly the service is voluntary. Gessford and Harner both said its a thrill to perform for audiences who enjoy their music.
"Were not a professional group," said Harner, who is an analytical chemist for The Dow Chemical Co. "We all work and do other things. Most of us play with other bands."
Gessford teaches eight trombone students. Midlander Arnie Huntress and Harner are charter members of Just Trombones.
For Gessford, Harner and others who belong to Just Trombones, life is filled with music. They may not consider themselves a professional group, but their logo, uniforms and the quality of their music suggest otherwise.

Rumours were flying for a few weeks that Johnny Depp would be added to the cast of Will Smith's I Am Legend, playing the head bloodsucker and nemesis to Smith's Robert Neville. But Depp was never actually signed to the movie – his character doesn't appear in the current script, and given his involvement with Sweeney Todd – it's not likely he will be.
There is now some official casting information, though – as Alice Braga (last seen in indie flick Lower City) and Salli Richardson (Anacondas) have been hired for the movie.
Legend, you'll recall, tells the tale of Neville, who thinks he's the last man left alive on Earth, trying to stave off madness as he deals with the fact that everyone else have become vampire-like creatures. Braga will play Alice, a young fellow survivor who Neville tries to protect from the blood-lusting creatures. Richardson is Ginni, Neville's loving wife before the infection spreads.
With a script by Mark Protosevich and Constantine's Francis Lawrence behind the megaphone, I Am Legend should arrive in late 2007 or early 2008.

During the financial crisis, many cash-strapped workers resorted to 401(k) loans to make ends meet. But by doing so, they paid a higher cost than most of them realized.
In the following video, Fool contributor Dan Caplinger takes a look at the true cost of 401(k) loans. Although many people like these loans because you're essentially paying interest to yourself rather than to a big bank, Dan points out that the interest you pay to your 401(k) plan ends up getting taxed again when you withdraw it in retirement, creating a double tax hit. More importantly, Dan notes that money you borrow from your 401(k) loses its opportunity to earn returns from investment, which over the past several years has added up to substantial lost profits. Before taking a 401(k) loan, make sure you know exactly how much it could cost you in the long run.

Desert's fragile crust takes millennia to form but only moments to destroy
As they barreled across the desert toward Baghdad during the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq last March, the tanks, trucks, and armored personnel carriers churned up huge clouds of dust. Iraqi vehicles mobilized to defend against the onslaught generated their own plumes of grit. In a literal sense at least, much of the dust in Iraq has begun to settle. If history is a guide, however, the ruts the combat vehicles left behind will spew prodigious amounts of dust for years. That airborne material can cause major environmental and health problems.

I wanted to thank the Daily Pilot for the unbelievable article about me and my new store that was included (very prominently!) in last Wednesday's edition ('Old things have a soul', Oct. 18), and again for the second mention in Greer Wylder's weekly column Friday.
Such exposure for a new up-and-coming business is invaluable, and I am extremely appreciative of your support. The coverage resulted in hundreds of people visiting my store the last several days — shoppers, consignors and even people simply wanting to wish me well.
It was very heartwarming and encouraging. In a time when, more-often-than-not, depressing and scary headlines dominate the news, the Pilot still puts regular focus on positive stories, whether it be new businesses, such as mine, student successes, community outreach and support, etc.

Look out! The Bush brand is hot in the 2014 campaign. (SEAN SULLIVAN, March 24, 2014, Washington Post)
The latest member of Bush's presidential orbit to make an entree into midterm politics is his former secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice. Rice appears in a new ad for the conservative super PAC American Crossroads defending Alaska Senate candidate Dan Sullivan (R). Sullivan is a former Bush State Department official who has emerged as the leading Republican in the race to take on Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska).Rice, who was Bush's national security adviser during his controversial decision to invade Iraq, has gradually begun to play a bigger role in politics after returning to academia in 2009. She is set to boost House Republicans by headlining a Wednesday National Republican Congressional Committee fundraiser.Former Florida governor Jeb Bush (R), brother of the 43rd president and potential 2016 contender, has also recently raised his 2014 profile. He appeared in a Chamber of Commerce commercial for now-Rep. David Jolly (R-Fla.) earlier this year. The ad came at a crucial time when Jolly lacked the funds to mount a robust positive ad campaign of his own.Jeb Bush is also a huge fundraising draw because of his deep donor network. He plans to raise money for New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R) and Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval (R) this week. Meanwhile, his son George P. Bush is the Republican nominee for land commissioner in Texas.Elsewhere, congressional candidates have tied themselves to the Bush White House. Ed Gillespie, White House counsel under the 43rd president, is running for Senate in Virginia. His introductory video included photographs of the two together. Facing a tough race in a conservative West Virginia district, Rep. Nick Rahall (D) recently told The Hill newspaper, "I probably have supported George Bush more than I have Barack Obama."

I don't really know what I want to do as an artist… is SIM for me?
While the SIM program is a great place for experimentation, it is not a great place for those that really have no idea what they are interested in yet. SIM works best for those that are self-motivated and already have ideas they want to express artistically.
Can I work in any media while a SIM major?
Yes, but since SIM students are not assigned their own studio space, if you are primarily a painter or sculpture, you may want to consider being a 3D or 2D major and taking any one of the many SIM electives to have an interdisciplinary experience. (*Note: this only applies to undergraduates. All students in the MFA program have studios spaces.)
I have lots of ideas for art-making but I don't know how to make them happen. How will I get these skills as a SIM Major?
In SIM, all the majors meet in the Major Studio to share work, collaborate, participate in critique, and learn about production. Alongside the major studio, you are required to take a SIM elective (yeah, that's right, a required elective, ahem). Each semester several electives are offered that explore topics like web art and digital distribution; video editing and production; interactive media and computer-controlled installations; dance techniques, composition and improvisation; performance art and spoken word; the interrelationship between art and science; stagecraft and lighting; or sound performance, composition, recording, and editing. Within these electives you would learn and practice the skills you need to make your art. Most of our electives focus on conceptual development, audio-visual and web technology, and performance. For this reason primarily graphic artists or sculptors often have a hard time finding their way unless they are open to new ways of expressing their ideas. Also, advising plays a large role in your SIM curriculum – it's important to talk to the SIM faculty about your electives and let them help you make a effective choice.
Why can't anyone easily explain SIM? What's all the mystery about?
SIM is as diverse as the students that have gone through the program over the years. Because SIM artists work in an unlimited variety of media, with an unlimited breadth of ideas its almost impossible to categorize SIM into an easy explanation. But there are some tried and true priorities that have emerged since SIM was founded in 1969:
- Ideas; SIM artists are encouraged to make their art starting from the idea and then finding the best media for expressing that idea. Community and Collaboration; these are key components of the SIM curriculum. If you a loner you probably won't enjoy your time in SIM.
- Critique; each week we look at work and talk about it. The artists are expected to learn how to manage the critique to their best interests and to articulate their artistic ideas. The audience is expected to be generous, honest, and clear. Public speaking is a high priority in SIM.
- Live Events; SIM students make things happen. A lot. Eventworks is a SIM student run arts festival. The Godine Family gallery is a SIM student run exhibition space. The annual BIG SIM show is a student run and hugely attended student art show that includes performance, sound, video, animation, 2D and 3D and installation.
- Innovation; SIM is where many new media and methods have been introduced to the MassArt community (computers, internet, video, electro-kinetics, digital audio art, conceptual art). It continues to be a place where students who are working in new technologies congregate.
What will I do with a degree in SIM?
Students that graduate from SIM are uniquely prepared for lives as self-motivated artists as well as professionals in many commercial and non-profit fields. SIM grads have started their own galleries, TV shows, and businesses; worked as non-linear film and sound editors in Hollywood, New York, and Boston (WGBH, ZOOM); as stage managers and crew for theaters internationally; as web developers for award-winning studios; as educators at Harvard, Stanford, Mills, Carnegie Mellon, and the New England Aquarium; and as practicing, exhibiting, and/or performing artists around the world.

Interesting. The Board of the Central Arkansas Library System will convene shortly to hear about the revised plans for the aloft Hotel proposed next door to (and towering over) the Cox Center and other library buildings in the River Market neighborhood.
David Knight and the charming Curt Bradbury reportedly will be on hand to oppose the revised proposal on behalf of Stephens Inc., according to a memo sent to board members. Stephens Inc? Silly goose. Stephens owns the competing Capital Hotel down the way.
Now we see that it has not been only Library Director Bobby Roberts' considerable political skills that explain why the Moses-Tucker/Walter Hussman combine (D-G publisher Hussman owns the land in question) hasn't speedily gotten this new hotel approved. Major league political chess.
UPDATE: The Library Board said it remained opposed to the hotel as designed. Here's the letter the Board approved.
The meeting was marked by a heated exchange between Curt Bradbury and an aloft Hotel representative. On the jump, an account of events, including Bradbury's remark to the hotel developer that he'd made "an everlasting opponent for everything you try to do here."
The Central Arkansas Library System board of directors voted today to approve a letter from CALS director Bobby Roberts that reiterates the library's opposition to a new seven-story hotel proposed for the corner of Clinton Ave. and Commerce Street, despite changes to address their concerns about height and scale of the building.
On hand to speak in favor of the hotel project were developer Jimmy Moses, Downtown Partnership director Sharon Priest and Wes Townson, VP of McKibbon Hotel Group of Gainesville, Georgia, the company that wants to build the hotel. Addressing the board in opposition were David Knight, general counsel for Stephens, Inc., which owns the Capital Hotel; and Curt Bradbury, CEO for Stephens.
After a presentation by Townson, Knight rose and proceeded to compare the hotel developers to pirates from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" film, who see laws as only "guidelines." (Existing River Market design rules prohibit a building of this height. After first seeking variances before the Board of Adjustment the developers have decided to seek a planned development waiver from the politically malleable Planning Commission that would cover multiple waivers.)
Knight's remark prompted Townson to call the comments "unseemly," according to one trustee, after which Bradbury, clearly agitated, said that he and Knight were invited guests to a public forum, and inquired whether they should leave. After Townson asked for time to respond, the board chairman, Mark Wilson, refused, and went so far as to suggest that Townson and Stephens, Inc. representatives actually should leave until he was reminded that the meeting was indeed open to the public.
After leaving the meeting, Bradbury and Townson had a heated conversation in the foyer outside the board room, with Bradbury telling Townson that his comments had made "an everlasting opponent for everything you try to do here." Townson then stormed off to the elevators.
We'll have video from the meeting up soon.

Forging a New Connection in Education
Wau Diocese is working hard on developing the educational facilities that it manages within it's diocese. All education facilities benefit not just the Wau diocese area but all the locality and the cluster of dioceses in the whole Bahr el Ghazel area, a vast area. In the picture is the Principal of Bishop Barham University College (BBUC) and Bishop Moses at the College during his visit to the college. BBUC is a constituent college of the Uganda Christian University. BBUC is where the current Principal of St John's College, Rev Abraham Ngor, is studying Bishop Moses and all of Wau diocese wants to develop a partnership between St John's and BBUC.
The aim of the partnership is to build the capacity of St John's College to the same level as BBUC by training those who will become Tutors and Administrators of St John's at BBUC. The plans are as follows;
1) St John's College will send four students for Bachelors Degrees and one for Masters Degree at BBUC every year.
2) BBUC will send Tutors to St John's College for one Semester a every year.
3) The Diocese of Wau will look for partners to support those students studying at BBUC.
4) Bishop Moses requested the Bishop of Kigezi to give those who will be traveling to St John's a flat form in their Churches so that they can ask for transport while St John's will provide food, accommodation and small incentives to the Tutors during their time in Wau.
These requests were made to BBUC and the Bishop of Kigezi Diocese, all there were very excited about the opportunity for Mission at St John's College and in Wau Diocese.
Instrumental in forging this link was the efforts of a German Missionary called Rev Matthias who came to Wau Diocese and spent some time there. Here is the story that he has from his visit:
The Church exists by mission as fire exists by burning, Without mission there is realy no Church.
Emil Brunner (1889-1966), The Word and the World, London: SCM Press, 1931, p.11
Our travelling to South Sudan was a real experience. On 7th September, our Student Rev. Abraham and I travelled to Kampala. There, we met Daniel Irankunda and Ceasar Alenya who joined us to teach at St. John's College theology for one semester. After 30 years of war, there is an urgent need in the country to train people - but qualified teachers are lacking.
So we went as a team with the night bus from Kampala to Juba. Before the journey started, Rev. Abraham investigated that I can get a visa at the border. However, as we reached there, the officers told us to go back to the South Sudanese Embassy in Kampala.
So, Rev. Abraham and I went back, as the rest of the team continued to Juba. As we reached the embassy, they just closed their doors and told us to come tomorrow. Unfortunately, Rev. Abraham lost his phone in the bus with all the contacts for the journey. So we set down in silence, dusty, tired and exhausted after two days in busses, no visa, no contacts, no open doors. Then we contacted Rev. Manuel Muranga. He offered us accommodation and his encouragement gave us new strength. On the following day we got the visa within 1.5 hours in a miraculous way and Rev. Abraham's phone was found.
On this evening, we went back to the bus for Juba - full of motivation ... until people told us in the bus that the airport in Juba is closed from Friday to Sunday because of urgent repair. We passed the border to South Sudan and contacted friends from Rev. Abraham in Juba to help us with flights. They found out, there is a last private plane going on Friday morning and we can still book two seats - if we hurry. So we went to book - but the people refused to give us any receipt or accountability for the money to pay... and that was really difficult for me, since we didn't know these people at all. As we were discussing, the owner of the plane came in and instructed the staff that the plane must fly now. Everyone who has paid should get his money back tomorrow and in case anyone is present - they can join the flight. Since we were discussing - we were the only passengers present. But there was a great hurry - no security check, not even time for paying at the airport... (We paid in the plane and got a receipt :-)... and 5 min later we were three people in a small plane moving through the clouds upwards. Two hours later we arrived in Wau. We really felt that God succeeded in bringing as safely to the destiny.
Wau is the second largest town in South Sudan with a good airport. Since the town is in the North West of the country, it is not directly affected by the conflicts in the east and the south.
But after 30 years of war, the education system has not reached many parts of the country and most young men are left with two options. Either they look after cows or they join the army to get some salary. This situation prompts about 70 % of the young men to join either the army or rebel groups - and as long as there are no other alternatives - peace in South Sudan might remain a challenge.
There are a few shops and companies - but about 95% of them seem to be run by foreigners while the local people are starving.
As we visited villages, we saw many people with sicknesses but medicine is hardly available there. People request in these desperate situations often their ancestors for help. On the picture is a shrine and the two traditional priests of the village on the right side - however, we were not sure how convinced these priests are of their job done, since they requested us to build a nice church and a health centre in their village.
The Diocese in Wau welcomed us very warmly and cared for us as good as possible... and we really felt Christ in our midst.
The Diocese has a bold plan to register their College at the Ministry of Higher Education and to start with Diploma courses in Education, Theology, Business and other courses in January 2016. Since there are only about 4 operating Universities with about 10.000 Students in the whole country, a College will open young people a perspective for their lives to empower their communities.
On the way back to Kabale, the Bishop of Wau travelled with me to meet the Bible translators in Juba. The Diocese has about the size of England in UK - but the Old Testament in not available in any of the vernacular languages - which denies people [and even priests from the villages] the access to grow in faith through reading the Old Testament. The meeting was very encouraging and we pray that the translation project of the OT gets organised, accepted and starts soon.
We further went on to Bishop Barham University College. We had an encouraging meeting with the leaders of BBUC in which we were thinking of creating a partnership. This might help St. John's College in South Sudan in creating courses and identifying qualified teachers - for a better future of our neighbours in South Sudan.
On one photo, you see Daniel Irankunda, Rev. Abraham and Ceasar Alenya at a church in South Sudan. On the other photo, you see our family (the children have grown :-) together with Bishop Moses of Wau Diocese in Kabale.
Prayer Items
- We thank God for his protection on the way and for opening doors for mission to South Sudan;
- We pray for registering St. John's College and for missionaries from Uganda who are willing to go and teach Diploma courses, especially in Education, at St John's College;
- We pray for the translation project of the OT in Dinka Rek;
- We pray for peace in South Sudan.
Yours in Christ, Rev. Matthias
