Blues try to snap slide vs. Ducksby John Kreiser
DUCKS (7-2-1) at BLUES (6-4-0)
TV: PRIME, FS-Midwest
Season series: This is the first of three meetings this season. The teams split four games in 2011-12, with the home team winning all four.
Big story: The Ducks are one of the surprise teams in the new season, with only two regulation losses in 10 games - the second was a 3-1 defeat in Dallas on Friday night. The Blues started the season by winning six of their first seven but have hit the skids since then, losing three in a row - including 6-1 and 5-1 home losses this week.
Team Scope:
Ducks: Anaheim took a four-game winning streak into Friday night's game at Dallas, but allowed two first-period power-play goals and never recovered. Nick Bonino scored late in the second period, but the Ducks ultimately paid for their slow start with a 3-1 loss in which they were outshot 16-7 in the first period and managed only 21 shots overall.
"I think it was the effort - we didn't get it going until the second period," defenseman Francois Beauchemin said. "We have to stay disciplined. We have to control our emotions and make sure we're ready right off the bat.
"In the first period we weren't moving. We weren't competing. When you don't do that, you can't win a game in the NHL."
Blues: On the day after his team was embarrassed 5-1 at home by Detroit, Blues coach Ken Hitchcock eschewed a bag skate or a puck-less practice in favor of a video session. He admitted afterward that times have changed, and that he might well have done things another way a few years ago.
"We probably would have done different things today," Hitchcock said Friday. "But you learn. You learn over time that it's not the end of the world. If you treat it like the end of the world .... my job is to get them out of the ditch.
"You don't get them out of the ditch with a bunch of criticism and a bunch of conflict. My job is to get them back up and running and feeling good about themselves. As much as you want them to learn from the mistakes, they've got to see the good stuff, too."
Who's hot: Saku Koivu leads the Ducks with 11 points, including four in he last four games. Bonino had Anaheim's lone goal on Friday, his fourth in four games. … Defenseman Alex Pietrangelo scored both of the Blues' goals in their last two games.
Injury report: Anaheim goaltender Jonas Hiller left after the first period Friday night with a lower-body injury. Defenseman Cam Fowler (head) is on the injured list. … The Blues are still without goaltender Jaroslav Halak (groin), though he's started practicing again and could be back in the lineup as early as Monday.

Please note:
Lee Loebman has been producing Judaic artwork since the mid-1980s when, as a design student, he was asked to create a Ketubah for his brother's wedding. Since then he has created hundreds of Ketubot for clients in the United States, Britain and Israel. Lee's vibrant and colorful style weaves the thread of Jewish imagery into modern design to create personal, intricately detailed works.
This design, based on a paper cutting, features a sun setting behind mountains with a lake in the foreground. Heavenly Jerusalem can be seen in the clouds above the text, and the tree of life, or family tree, grows on the banks of the lake. Jewish symbols and musical notes can be seen in the tree and throughout the mountains. On the right, two lines work their way toward the top, touching and then coming together as two people do when they meet and get married. The phrase at the bottom is from "The Song of Songs" and means "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine".

Bill Foster joined his wife and local supporters to cast their ballots for the 2012 General Election. Today was the first day of in-person early voting in Illinois.
"I was proud to join my wife and local voters to cast my ballot for the 2012 General Election, because the contrast in this race couldn't be clearer," said Bill Foster. "Voters have been seeing Congresswoman Biggert's name on the ballot for 30 years, and have grown tired of her record of saying one thing when she comes back to Illinois and then voting for wealthy special interests in Washington. Instead, they are looking for leaders who will focus on creating jobs, preserving Medicare, and strengthening the middle class. Our momentum continues to build, and we will continue to work hard in the final stretch to make sure that seniors and hard-working middle class families have the advocate they deserve."

Chevrolet Vega
The Chevrolet Vega is a subcompact, two-door automobile that was produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors for the 1971-1977 model years. Named after the star Vega, the car was powered by a lightweight aluminum-block inline four-cylinder engine.
The Vega was produced in hatchback, notchback, wagon, and panel delivery body styles. A limited-production model, the Cosworth Vega, with a smaller but more powerful engine, was introduced in 1975, the same year that GM introduced two additional subcompacts: the less expensive Chevrolet Chevette, and the Vega-derived Chevrolet Monza. Two additional Vega variants were produced by Pontiac: the Astre and the Safari Wagon.
Initially well-received by buyers and the motoring press, from whom it received numerous awards, the Vega sold well against domestic subcompacts such as the AMC Gremlin, Ford Pinto, and imports from Toyota, Datsun and Volkswagen. By 1974 it was among the top 10 best-selling American cars.
Brought to market in a short time, early examples suffered from engine problems, poor build quality, and corrosion, which caused long term harm to GM's reputation. Although the faults were remedied by recalls and redesigns, a three-year decline in sales culminated in the car's cancellation at the end of the 1977 model year.

How Will the BOE Respond to Stronger U.K. Data?
Will the Bank of England's new governor, Mark Carney, provide the forward guidance markets have been expecting, or does a sharp upturn in U.K. economic data mean he will resist committing to low rates in the longer term? Deutsche Bank's George Buckley and Dow Jones's Paul Hannon discuss.

Can't install applications
I can't install hardly any applications aside from avg, and auslogics right now. I keep getting errors saying that the file is corrupt. I've tested my ram and even booted with 1 stick in, and then the other. I tried installing to numerous hard drives and I can't seem to figure it out. Any ideas?

After a DU last night proceeded fine, rising this morn, I see that trying to DU (from UK mirrors) wants to remove lots of xserver packages. This is on both my amd64 box and my i386 box.
xserver-common and xserver-xorg-core want to be upgraded on my i386 box, whereas xserver-xorg-core is held back on my amd64 box (has been for a while now).
So I guess it's not safe to DU until you hear from someone with more knowledge than I...

Running apt-get update and then apt-get -d dist-upgrade four hours later now only wants to remove 5 xserver packages instead of ~15. Other packages that were to be removed earlier today are now due to be upgraded, so hopefully soon the issue should be solved.

I have the same issue, but I'm starting to wonder if the packages to be removed are necessary or have been deprecated...
Mine shows:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
xserver-xorg-video-apm xserver-xorg-video-ark xserver-xorg-video-ati
xserver-xorg-video-chips xserver-xorg-video-i128 xserver-xorg-video-neomagic
xserver-xorg-video-openchrome xserver-xorg-video-r128 xserver-xorg-video-rendition
xserver-xorg-video-s3 xserver-xorg-video-s3virge xserver-xorg-video-savage
xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion xserver-xorg-video-sis xserver-xorg-video-sisusb
xserver-xorg-video-tdfx xserver-xorg-video-trident xserver-xorg-video-tseng
I see some old cards (trident, voodoo, ...) there. (I'm currently using nouveau.)
Should we keep waiting to DU?

This is a bit difficult to answer…
We install xserver-xorg-video-all, which depends on all the various device specific xserver packages available in Debian/main. This is good practice, as the required drivers are autoprobed while X.org starts up, which means you can replace your graphics card from one vendor to another (as long as this doesn't involve non-free drivers, which replace parts of X.org/ mesa with their own incompatible variants) and X.org will automatically work without any configuration changes. Given that all the involved packages are rather small (less than 5 MB for all possible drivers), it usually doesn't make sense to remove any of these and thereby to break the afforementioned flexibility.
Technically speaking, you only require the modules specific to your graphics hardware, which basically means xserver-xorg-video-intel, xserver-xorg-video-nouveau and xserver-xorg-video-radeon cover basically all hardware found in the wild (at least within recent years). This also has an impact on the ongoing maintenance level of the remaining other graphics drivers, which is basically non-existant… Likewise only these drivers (plus xserver-xorg-video-modesetting, xserver-xorg-video-qxl) - and xserver-xorg-video-mga (some old Matrox graphics cards, still often found in servers) && xserver-xorg-video-modesetting (kvm virtual graphics) support KMS (modesetting), which is becoming increasingly important for modern software support.
So yes, unless you have literally ancient graphics cards, letting these packages go won't hurt you, but… keeping the xserver-xorg-video-all meta-package is still good practice. For these reasons it is too early to signal all clear, especially as some of our users might still use/ require the graphics driver you're talking about.

A new xorg meta-package dropping the dependency on the abandoned hwardware drivers will
the mirrors within the next few hours, thereby make xserver.xorg-video-all installable/ upgradeable again. This means several xserver-xorg-video-* packages are now safe to let go (even if you have affected ancient (older than 15 years) hardware, sticking to those won't be an option anyways; xserver-xorg-video-vesa should keep them working to some extent) and the new xserver-xorg-video-all be be installed.

When Martin Luther King Jr. made his most famous speech during the Great March on Washington in 1963, Barack Hussein Obama was 2 years and 24 days old.
Obama was only 6 when King was assassinated in 1968.
So, except through reading history, and perhaps taking some black studies classes, the man who would become the first black president of the United States didn't know King like those born a generation earlier.
Some have argued that because of the time and place of his birth (in Hawaii in 1961), Obama never experienced the overt, de jure discrimination that King fought against. And besides, some black elitists said during the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama didn't have "slave ancestry" because he's the son of a white Kansan mother and black Kenyan father.
That observation was considered by some a kind of ridiculous "evidence" that Obama was not a "true" black American. I won't dignify the assertion by discussing the degree of one's blackness, whether someone is more black than somebody else.
As I've pointed out before, African-Americans didn't define black when it came to race in America; it was white people who came up with the "one-drop" rule: One drop of black blood, no matter how white you looked, made you black.
But, let's leave that alone for now.
Despite the gap in their ages and the generational and geographical differences that helped define Obama and King, their legacies are inextricably tied, albeit the president's legacy is still in the making.
Since Obama's nomination in 2008, there have been some momentous instances that, though coincidental, have connected the two men — happenstance that some of us have seen as divine providence.
Consider Obama's acceptance speech for his party's nomination, made before 84,000 people in a Denver football stadium. I was not the only one to note that it occurred on the 45th anniversary of King's address telling America about a dream he had.
Then came Obama's historic election, which had many in the country wondering if King could have imagined such a day. Ironically, Robert F. Kennedy had predicted (a couple of months before Obama's birth) "that in the next 30 or 40 years, a Negro can also achieve the same position that my brother has as president of the United States, certainly within that period of time."
When the president was inaugurated on that cold day in 2009, with two million proud observers in attendance — the largest gathering ever in the nation's capital — it reminded many people of that very hot day in August when hundreds of thousands came to Washington to demonstrate for "jobs and freedom."
And how surreal was it that when the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial, which had been years in the making, was finally dedicated on the National Mall in 2011, it was America's first black president who would make the dedicatory speech?
Now comes Obama's second inauguration. Keep in mind that until the 20th Amendment was ratified in 1933, the term of the new president began in March. Passage of the amendment moved the date up to Jan. 20.
Since Franklin Roosevelt's second term, all presidents except two have had their public inaugurations on Jan. 20. The exceptions were Dwight Eisenhower in 1957 and Ronald Reagan in 1985, because Jan. 20 fell on a Sunday those two years, moving the inaugurations to Jan. 21.
This is another year of the exception. Because Jan. 20 is Sunday, Barack Obama's second public inauguration will take place on Monday the 21st.
That's the day the nation has set aside to celebrate Martin Luther King's birthday.
Coincidence or providence?

Kids skipping school is a serious problem, but how serious should the punishment for it be? In Mount Sterling, Ohio, a 9-year-old boy was Tasered twice by a police officer, who came to the boy's home after he was reported to be truant from school.
Plus: Eight-Year-Old Accidentally Shot in School
MSNBC reports that the boy's mother urged the boy to cooperate with the police officer, but the boy, who weighs between 200 and 250 pounds, lay on the floor on top of his hands to prevent being handcuffed. According to the Columbus Dispatch, the boy also pleaded with his mother to go to school instead of with the officer, but she told him it was too late.
The officer wrote what happened next in the police report: "He refused any and all orders. I told him if he did not stop flailing and place his hands behind his back, I would deploy the Taser on him. He still did not comply to my orders to stop resisting." Because the boy continued to resist, the officer stunned him twice and charged him with delinquency and truancy.
Plus: Mom Arrested for Taking 10-Year-Old to Get a Tattoo
What do you think about how the police officer—and the boy's mother—handled the situation? Is it ever OK to Taser a child (under 18 years old)?

When the 3 beneficiaries of the OACIC 2010-2011 Scholarships sent a thank you letter months after receiving the scholarships, the contents of one of the letter deeply touched me for the recipient had lost his father a few montsh before the school year began, and he was uncertain how he was gonna pay for the school tuitions. After reading his letter, i feel proud to have contributed toward the cause.

Philipsburg, St. Martin/St. Maarten Travel Guide
Philipsburg Summary
- Dozens of duty- and tax-free shops selling electronics, jewelry, and high-end clothing
- Lively nightlife year-round
- Beautiful waterfront boardwalk with great spots to watch the sunset
- Central location and easy access to the airport
- Fine dining on and around Front Street
- Some pretty cobblestone streets lined with colonial-style buildings (but some dilapidated areas too)
- Ongoing beautification project
- Great seaside cafes and restaurants
- Sint Maarten Heritage Museum has an impressive collection of indigenous tools and other objects
- Sint Maarten Zoo (the Caribbean's largest)
- Little local flavor left
- Crowds and traffic congestion
- Petty crime in some areas
What It's Like
Sint Maarten's capital is shopper's paradise. Every day, hordes flock to the tax- and duty-free stores on Front, Back and Old Street in search of cheap electronics, jewels, and designer clothes. Few places in the Caribbean offer the variety and quality of the items displayed in Philipsburg's windows at such a good price. However, this also means that the local flavor has been lost to development and tourism, and some parts of the city (and the island -- especially on the Dutch side) feel like they could be anywhere. Other parts of the city, however, have managed to maintain a Caribbean feel, and it's not that hard to stumble upon a pleasant street lined with palm trees and colorful colonial buildings.
Great shopping is arguably the main draw here, but Philipsburg also boasts good restaurants, a vibrant nightlife, and a couple of cultural attractions (namely, the Heritage Museum and the Zoo). The central location makes it a convenient base to explore the rest of the island. On top of that, the gorgeous, long beach has fine sand and pristine waters.
Where to Stay
Philipsburg is a pretty compact and narrow city, so most shops, bars and restaurants will be within walking distance of the hotels. However, travelers might want to stay on the southern end of the city, which offers easy access to Front Street's wonderful shopping and the pretty beach. While the western end is probably more convenient for those who want to experience the hopping nightlife of Simpson Bay or Maho, the east is somewhat quieter.

I am writing to seek your advice on getting my first quant job. I have a PhD in Electrical Engineering, majoring in machine learning & pattern recognition. I did 2-years post doc on signal processing. I do a lot of programming in my job/research, both MATLAB and C++. At the time when I graduated (Dec 2009) I tried to apply for quant jobs, but I was not well prepared at that time and could not make through the interviews. I have done a lot of self learning in the past 2 years, read both of your books and Wilmott's 3 volumes and a few others. Recently I am starting to apply for junior quant positions again. I sent out many resumes to investment banks in the past few months, only got a couple of phone interviews. Even though I thought I did well (answered ~80% of the questions), none of them seem to be moving forward. The place I am located (Honolulu) is rather isolated, I could not find any quant person in my area who could give me advice. Would you mind giving me some suggestions which would increase my chance of landing in an offer?
Thank you very much for your time.

Rhodes holiday home market: 40 percent more enquiries
Hamburg, 01 June 2016. The market for holiday properties on Rhodes continues to witness a trend of positive growth. Enquiries from international buyers on the Greek island increased by around 40 percent, particularly in the second half-year of 2015. "The reason for this is Greece's continued presence in the Eurozone and the record numbers of visitors on Rhodes last year," said Georg Petras, Managing Partner of Engel & Völkers on Rhodes. The high level of demand for first-class homes on Rhodes can be attributed primarily to clients from Central Europe. Constituting 33 percent here, the largest buyer group is from German-speaking countries. Closely followed by clients from the UK (25 percent) and from France and Belgium (13 percent).
Thanks to the strong market positioning of Engel & Völkers on Rhodes, the Residential Property Shop grew revenues by 8 percent in 2015 over the previous year.
Property prices in prime locations remain stable
The most desirable locations for holiday properties on Rhodes remain Lindos and the nearby resorts of Pefkos and Vlicha. In addition to classic villas, traditional captain's cottages are especially sought after here. Interested buyers pay average prices per square metre of up to 4,000 euros for homes in very good locations. As much as 7,000 euros per square metre are fetched for captain's villas and detached villas.
There are also high numbers of prospective buyers on the east coast of Rhodes. Prices are developing at a stable level here, due to the limited availability of properties and the low level of new construction. Prices remain moderate here compared to Lindos. For houses, between 2,500 and 3,000 euros per square metre are paid on average. High-end holiday properties near the coast with direct access to the sea and outstanding views can reach as much as 4,000 euros per square metre.
Prestigious properties on the island of Symi are also in strong demand. The Greek island is around 23 kilometres north of Rhodes and is known as the "Saint-Tropez of the Aegean". Top properties sell for up to 4,000 euros per square metre here. "The price trend for second homes on Rhodes is currently stable to slightly rising. The current brokerage time for properties remains six to twelve months on average. Exclusive properties in premium locations usually sell considerably faster," Georg Petras reports. The majority of holiday home owners on Rhodes acquire their residence either with low mortgage lending or without any at all.
Buying a property on Rhodes brings many advantages
For more than 60 percent of buyers, holiday homes on Rhodes are a crisis-proof form of old-age provision and a secure income property. High prices in desirable locations on Rhodes are becoming increasingly detached from Greece's second home market as a whole. The low transfer tax of 3 percent at present is an additional incentive for private buyers to invest in premium real estate. Additionally, and unlike many other regions in Greece, ownership rights on Greece are unequivocal thanks to the land registry office in place since 1937. Non-EU residents receive a residency permit for at least five year when buying properties worth upwards of 250,000 euros. "There has been a tangible rise in foreign buyer confidence on the real estate market in our region. Clients are making very swift decisions to buy thanks to the many attractive benefits this brings. We are therefore anticipating a growing demand for premium second homes over the remainder of the year," said Georg Petras. The market expert is extremely optimistic about the prospects for the property market on Rhodes based on the first four months of 2016.
Rhodes is the main island in the group of Greek islands in the eastern Aegean Sea known as the Dodecanese. The island's population is around 130,000, with approximately half of residents living in Rhodes Town, the principal city and tourist centre in the north of the island. With more than 300 days of sunshine a year, the Greek island is one of the warmest regions in Europe. Domestic and international guests are attracted to Rhodes by the countless beaches, diverse countryside, good infrastructure, excellent flight links to many European airports, and the wealth of culture on offer.

Anne Gryczon, the embattled executive director of Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary in Georgetown, was fired Wednesday evening, a member of the agency's board of directors has confirmed.
Anne Gryczon, the embattled executive director of Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary in Georgetown, was fired Wednesday evening, a member of the agency's board of directors has confirmed.
"She was wonderful; absolutely terrific at what she did," Harold Dukes Jr., a Safe Haven board member and Georgetown attorney, said Thursday. "But sometimes you can be too passionate and get too caught up with trying to do everything. There is a difference between starting a shelter and running a business, and we felt she had a problem delegating authority."
Gryczon and other members of the no-kill shelter's board of directors have not returned messages seeking comment.
Telephone messages left at Safe Haven's headquarters on Shingle Point Road also have not been returned.
Dukes said a formal announcement would be released later today, following a meeting of the agency's four-member board of directors.
Kent County Levy Court Commissioner Eric Buckson said Thursday that the Levy Court, which awarded a one-year, $830,000 dog control contract to Safe Haven in July, has not been informed of any change in leadership at the agency.
"I've asked the [Kent County] administrator [Mike Petit de Mange] to converse with the Safe Haven board to see if we can get an official statement," he said. "Even if it's true, our goal will still be to provide quality services on behalf of Kent County residents and I hope Safe Haven takes the necessary measures and steps to ensure their organization does just that."
Former Safe Haven board member and Lewes resident Diane Meier first reported Gryczon's firing on her blog "No Kill Delaware" and its associated Facebook page.
Meier, who resigned from the board just weeks before Safe Haven opened its doors in August, said she and several other people associated with the agency recently presented the board with a "whistle-blowers report" regarding Gryczon and ongoing issues at the shelter.
"Her major failure was not doing enough to get dogs adopted," Meier said Thursday. "Once [Safe Haven] took control of the county contract, they needed to quickly move dogs into homes, but they just didn't do that, which resulted in the tragedies I've reported on my website."
Meier was referring to reports that dogs picked up by Safe Haven are being boarded at off-site holding facilities, where they are not receiving proper attention or care.
Accusations about the conditions of those animals, as well as numerous other reports of mismanagement at Safe Haven were made public during a Dec. 1 hearing of the 22-member Animal Welfare Task Force, appointed by the state Senate in June.
At that time, Gryczon, who served on the task force as executive director of Safe Haven, refuted claims animals were being mistreated or that Safe Haven was inadequately prepared to deal with the responsibilities of the county contract.
A legislative aide for state Sen. Patricia Blevins (D-Elsmere), who chairs the task force, said Thursday she was unaware of any communication announcing that Gryczon would no longer serve as Safe Haven's representative.
"I have every hope that things will improve at Safe Haven now," Meier said. "The only thing I want is for them to succeed and for the animals to get adopted into good homes."
Karli Swope, a Milford resident who works part time at Safe Haven as a foster and adoption coordinator, said she believes most of the accusations leveled against the agency were a direct result of Gryczon's management style.
"She just wouldn't let people do the jobs they were hired to do," she said. "Now that she's gone, I hope people start to see what they have in Safe Haven and the process of adopting and fostering the animals they take in really gets underway, because the staff there is wonderful and I think a lot of dedicated people who left before are going to start coming out of the woodwork to help again."
Cindy Wood, the director of medical care and operations at Safe Haven, is expected to be named as the shelter's interim executive director later today.

Volume 18 Issue 48 | April 14 - 20, 2006

A photograph by Sophie Lafleur, an early member of the Pictorial Photographers of America, now in its 90th year.
Historic photography club celebrates 90th anniversary
By Aileen Torres
When modern photography first emerged at the turn of the twentieth century, it was considered a practical tool, not a viable art form. But beginning in 1916, three New Yorkers helped garner respect for the medium. Among these visionaries were Clarence White, who started his own school of photography in 1914; Karl Struss, who won the first Academy Award for cinematography, and Edward Dickinson, who is not well known for his images but was interested in developing the artistic status of photography. Together, they founded the Pictorial Photographers of America in New York City, a club that still exists today. In honor of its 90th anniversary, its current members are paying homage to the clubs storied past with an exhibit called Platinum to Pixel, which runs from April 8 through April 30th at the Westbeth Gallery.
The organization, which meets at St. Peters Church on W. 20th St. twice monthly from October through May, has changed significantly since its inception particularly in size. The club still meets to share and critique each others work, but the PPA has gone from an international organization with regional branches to a primarily local club with most members hailing from New York City and New Jersey.
When it was an international group, membership was in the hundreds, said Stuart Nudelman, former club president who joined in the 1950s and was an active member until 1987, when he moved to Maine. It was in these sort of organizations that the skills and knowledge of photography were passed on. The breakdown may have been in the 30s, when there was a big surge to create more camera clubs. As these amateur chapters developed locally, he theorized, there was less of a need for PPA. But PPA was probably the progenitor. It was also a breeding ground for professional photography, he said.
Despite the decline in membership, the club is still integral to the members work, says Kathryn Buck, who has been a member of PPA since the mid-1980s and became president about three years ago. It offers an intimate month-by-month setting where you get feedback on your work, said Buck. There are currently 25 members in PPA, she said, many of whom are just now learning about the clubs heyday.
This exhibition is us getting to know our history, says Buck. Were reaching back into our archives and getting to know our past. This process of discovery has partly happened by accident. Bucks first lead about the early days of the PPA came in the form of an email almost two years ago, from the great grandniece of Sophie Lauffer, one of the original members. I almost deleted [it], Buck said. But because she did read it, she was introduced to a distinguished member of PPAs past, which inspired her to start seeking out the clubs archivesrepresented by the five annuals that were published by PPA between 1920 and 1929 that she had read about in various reference books. These annuals were a compilation of selected works that had appeared in the international traveling exhibitions once sponsored by the club. PPA had none of the annuals when Buck received the email, so she scoured the Internet looking for book dealers who did. She was able to obtain a copy of each of the annuals online.
Then, four weeks ago, Buck met John Stevenson, the dealer for Clarence White whom Buck discovered via another Internet search. She visited his gallery near her home on W. 23rd St., and when they got to talking, he said, I had no idea PPA still existed! a statement similarly expressed by Verna Posever Curtis, curator of Photography for the Library of Congress, according to Buck.
Whites widow gave a lot of her husbands work to the Library when he died in 1925. As Buck recalls, Curtis said that Whites work was instrumental in capturing the Librarys interest in photography as an art form. She said that Curtis, with whom shes been in touch for the show, feels that White deserves to be more well-known in the history of the medium. His use of light and shade lends a hazy, dream-like quality to much of his work, giving his images a highly romantic feel, such as The Orchard (1905), featuring three women in long dresses standing by a tree, The Ring Toss (1899), an image of three girls playing a game indoors, and Mother and Child (1919), a photo of a mother in bed, breast-feeding her baby.
Says Richard Trapani, editor of PPAs newsletter and a member for 29 years, I was very impressed by these annuals. I felt that in some respects they were better than what were doing now. Sometimes I feel what were doing now might be a little on the trite side. One thing that color brought to photography was that it got people enthused with color and nothing else. Many times black-and-white and sepia bring a stronger focus a situation where less is more. I think it should cause us to reflect a bit, reevaluate what were doing.
The idea for the 90th anniversary exhibition came about three years ago after Trapani met Theresa King at a photography show she had curated at Westbeth Gallery, the exhibition space of the artist residence at West and Bethune in the Village. A month later, he asked her to be a judge in one of clubs competition meets. She agreed and then decided to join PPA. The next meeting or so, they asked, what would we do about the 90th anniversary? I realized there was so much history in this club. This would be a spectacular event. King, a resident of Westbeth since 1970, was then inspired to book Westbeth Gallery for the PPA exhibit.
Looking through all the work that will be shown, Buck sees how enduring a lot of the types of images are. Theres a lot of continuity there [from the annuals to PPAs present work], from portraits, abstracts to bucolic landscapes
. Ninety years later, you somehow feel youre coming full circle again. For her, the show is the clubs way of getting organized for the future, and she hopes the images will inspire others in their own work.
Past members images will be featured in the show, including those by White, Sophie Lauffer, D. J. Ruzicka, Norman Rothschild and Ernst Ebbefeld, as will work by 19 current members.
In addition to the photos on display at the gallery, there will be free educational programs scheduled every weekend through the duration of the show. John Stevenson gave the opening lecture entitled Handcrafted Photographs, for the Hopelessly Obsessed. Sophie Lauffers great grandniece, Carrie Bortz, will also give a presentation. Peter Stein will discuss the work of his father, Fred Stein, who photographed celebrities as well as Paris in the 1930s and New York in the 1940s. Jonathan Hyman will give a talk about images related to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and Ellen Fisher-Turk will do a presentation on PhotoTherapy and Body Image.
Platinum to Pixel runs through April 30 at Westbeth Gallery, 55 Bethune Street, between West and Washington Streets. (212-989-4650, www.westbeth.org/gallery-3.html).

News Release: January 20, 2011Docket No. AD11-08-000
Study identifies tools to help ensure grid reliability
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) today issued for public comment a study that seeks to ensure reliability for consumers by identifying tools that will help manage the planning and operations of new generation resources into the nation's electricity system.
The study, conducted by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory with a team of power system experts, and initiated and funded by FERC's Office of Electric Reliability, examines what is known as the frequency response of the bulk power system. Frequency response measures how the system performs in responding to a sudden loss of generation that could cause reliability problems such as blackouts.
The purpose of the study is not to determine how much of any particular resource can be reliably integrated into an interconnection, but to develop an objective methodology to evaluate the reliability impacts of varying resource mixes including increased amounts of renewable resources. The study accomplishes this objective by developing and testing tools that can be used to assess and plan for the operational requirements of the grid.
"This study is valuable in that it gives us the tools to help determine how to manage operation and expansion of the grid, regardless of which resources the electric industry uses to generate power," FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff said.
The tools also can be used in operating and planning the transmission system and designing markets to fully integrate and reliably operate the mix of generation and transmission resources deployed in the future. Finally, the tools can be used to identify and deploy the appropriate use of new technologies, such as demand response and energy storage devices in concert with renewable generation resources, in achieving reliable operation of the bulk power system.
Comments on the technical aspects of the study, "Use of Frequency Response Metrics to Assess the Planning and Operating Requirements for Reliable Integration of Variable Renewable Generation," and five supporting reports should be filed under Docket AD11-08-000 within 45 days from the study's date of issuance. The study and the five supporting reports can be found at http://www.ferc.gov/industries/electric/indus-act/reliability.asp#anchor.

Whether you are still a student or have already graduated, starting a business might not be the easiest thing to do. Although it is not impossible, it is becoming harder by the minute to get "Financial Angels" to help you make your business dreams come true. Getting a loan to start a business is already challenging, now let's make it even less probable if you are still owing money for financial institutions, because of your student loans. Of course this does not make things impossible, however having an extra loan to pay makes things a little extra complicated for start Up wannabes.
Getting funding can be quite complicated.
It is common to search the web and find dozens of student testimonials narrating their difficulties to get their business started, especially when they are still dealing with student loans on the side. These students must worry about their new business and also with past issues and work, making life quite erratic to say the least. Most banks and credit companies are not willing to risk their stability to help you out, even though you have a great plan in mind. It is therefore quite hard to find funding with the traditional methods, which means getting a brand new loan with a bank or any kind of credit institution.
Keep your Hopes Up!
There are certain "Angels", as they are called, that are willing to finance small businesses, even if you are a student or have any kind of student loan to pay off. These "Angels" can help you with smaller amounts, such as a few thousands at the most. You can visit an "Angel" company here. They will not worry about your past, however keep in mind that you will also need to pay them back. You can take a look at their official site and see why they are willing to believe in your project, even when you have loans to pay off.
If you are willing to try a brand new way to get money in order to start your own business then you can give Crowdfunding a try. Here you will create your page on any crowdfunding site and then present your project. People will then decide whether or not they will give you money. You might get donations of people from all over the world, it all depends on your project and how you present it.
The bottom line.
As a conclusion it is possible to state that students that are still dealing with student loans can get money to fund their new business. Although this might be a hard task it is possible. Of course students will have to look for other resources that are not the traditional ones such as bank loans and credit cards. However if they put enough will into their project and look for funding options they will definitely be able to make their business become a reality.

A guide to T20 bowling – by Wasim Akram
May 25, 2012
KKR bowling mentor cracks the T20 code; talks about his dream bowling attack
While watching a Twenty20 game, how often have you wondered how a cricketer from the yesteryears would have fared in this format? We imagine Sir Vivian Richards lording over hapless medium pacers and dibbly dobbly spinners with an absolute license to kill. More intriguing is the thought, whether or not some of the great bowlers from the past would have been just as effective in the format that is so cruel on the bowlers. When a bowler gets plonked mercilessly by someone like Chris Gayle, one wonders how one of his fellow West Indian pacers of the 1970s would have handled him.
Thanks to the ongoing IPL 2012, we got a golden opportunity to quench this inquisition by picking the brain of the man who had mastered both, the red and the white ball during his playing days. What made him the best person to talk to on the subject is that he's closely involved in the Twenty20 format presently, as a coach.
We, at iplt20.com, put Wasim Akram – a magician with the cricket ball in his hand and the bowling mentor of the Kolkata Knight Riders – in the hot seat. Akram said that he would've loved to play more Twenty20 cricket than he did, and gave priceless insight on how he'd have gone about it. The legendary fast bowler also spoke about his current favourite bowler in this format and a bowler from the past he'd have loved to watch bowl in Twenty20s.
Do you think you'd have enjoyed playing the T20 format?
I missed on playing Twenty20 cricket; I only played two games for Hampshire in 2003 when the format was just introduced. I believe this format would have suited my game – my bowling and batting. I think T20 has changed cricket a lot in the last six-seven years. The idea of T20 cricket is to generate interest among the younger crowd; to inspire them to take up the sport. And I believe it has worked.
What's the first thing you'd look into while picking a bowling attack for a T20 game?
If I have wicket-taking bowlers, I'll pick all of them because that's how you win games in T20. It is an entertaining format, but it kills the bowlers, especially on the subcontinent tracks. According to me, in T20, getting wickets is the key. Generally, the batting teams look to get to 100-110 in 15 overs with wickets in hand, and then, have a go in the last five overs.
Who is your favourite T20 bowler?
Muttiah Muralitharan has still got the magic in his doosra. In fast bowlers, I like Dale Steyn. He runs in hard every ball and varies his pace. He's got the yorkers, the bouncers, swing – everything a fast bowler should have.
How about Brett Lee – one of your wards at the Kolkata Knight Riders?
Even Brett Lee runs in, but he's a bit expensive on the Indian tracks because he relies too heavily on pace. He doesn't have as many variations as Steyn does, but he's learning. He's a quick learner.
Given how harsh this format is on the bowlers, sometimes, does mental toughness become more important than skills?
That's right. More than pace, swing, talent, everything, it's the mind that matters. It all depends on how intelligently you bowl. Sitting in the dugout, I can tell when the batsman is going to go after the bowler. At times, I wish I had a microphone through which I could tell my bowlers what to bowl next. In T20, if you bowl two dot balls in a row, you can be 100 percent sure the batsman will go after you, either over the fine-leg, or if it's in the slot, he'll hit it straight. That's where variation comes into the picture, and that's when you should bowl what the batsman is not expecting.
There are many successful T20 bowlers who struggle in the longer formats. Your take on them.
In T20, the bowlers bowl a lot of slower balls. These bowlers are T20 specialists and might not get wickets in the longer formats where you need to swing the ball, you need good pace. In T20, all you need to do is keep varying the pace. These are the guys who know their limitations and bowl within them. They're not sharp and quick, and they don't try to bowl quick. They concentrate on their strength, which is variation, and that's the key to their IPL success.
Which bowler from the past you'd have liked to see bowl in the T20 format?
I'd have loved to see Joel Garner and Malcom Marshall. For me, Marshall was the best bowler ever in the history of the game. I rate bowlers who get wickets in subcontinent and Marshal got wickets everywhere in the world. He was a very clever bowler and what separated him from the others was that he picked the weakness of the batsman in a split second. These qualities would've made him interesting to watch in this format.
How do you rate the various IPL captains?
MS Dhoni has won the tournament twice, so obviously he has to be a very good captain. Gautam [Gambhir] has done well with KKR. He's very much involved as a captain. Sourav Ganguly is a very good tactician. He's a street-smart captain. Vettori has a very simple method. All captains have different styles. Gautam is quickly learning to play on the opposition's mind. He's getting the knack of the tactic that one should not do what the opponents are expecting him to do. Do something out of the box. That's how captains make a difference.

House Small Business Committee Chairman Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.) introduced two bills today that would put more pressure on agencies and prime contractors to send more business to small companies.
The Greater Opportunities for Small Business Act would bump the small business prime contracting goal from the current 23-percent goal to 25 percent.
In the Small Business Administration's latest contract scorecard, the government awarded 22.3 percent of its spending to small businesses, which was roughly $90 billion.
Interestingly, according to the Small Business Dashboard, the government could reach the 23 percent goal for fiscal 2013. It has awarded $83.2 billion to small businesses, equaling 23.4 percent. The SBA hasn't released its official scorecards for 2013 though.
Lawmakers have attempted to increase the small-business contracting goal by 2 percent in the past. Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) introduced a bill in January 2013 similar to Graves', but it hasn't advanced in the Senate. The Senate also disagreed with the House on raising the percentage goal, and Congress left the provision out of fiscal 2013 National Defense Authorization Act.
In the same bill, Graves also wants the law to be more specific on the percentage of business that prime contractors give their subcontractors. The legislation also ensures opportunities for small businesses as subcontractors, with a goal of awarding 40 percent of all subcontracted dollars to small businesses—an increase from the current goal of 35.9 percent. Graves' new proposal would require at least 40 percent.
Graves is also pushing agencies to help businesses with better data on bundled and consolidated contracts. The Contracting Data and Bundling Accountability Act would have SBA develop and then implement a plan to improve the quality of data reported on such contracts.
Departments have upset small companies and their advocates when they bundle several smaller contracts into one large contract and consolidate contracts. Smaller firms often cannot handle the workload, which then leaves them out of the running for federal business.
The plan would include consequences for failing to identify a contract as bundled and also establish the requirements for periodic and statistically valid data verification and validation. The plan would be in place by fiscal 2017.
"By increasing the federal-wide goal for contracts to small businesses, and requiring greater accuracy, transparency and accountability in contract bundling and consolidation, we make it easier for small businesses to enter this marketplace and compete for contracts," Graves said in a statement.
The bills have been sent to their respective House committees for further consideration.

I don't. I restrain myself from watching raws and checking out anime blogs because it ruins the story! The people who post here should be smart enough to use the "spoilers" tag if they have comments before a fansubbed version is posted.
edit: I'll get to see the subbed version ~2 days before you all... QC rocks!

All I can say is "be patient." I've already done a rough time of the OP karaoke on my own time and offered it to the pro-timer Devastator at FnT.
I figure... RAW get in ~12 hours.
Translation ~4 days.
Timing ~5 hours.
Encode ~36 hours.
Karaoke/typesetting ~3 days.
QC ~3 days.
So I'd expect it near the end/beginning of the year. I don't know a whole lot about the process, but I figure that it's Christmas break and most people won't be in school and should have more free time. Having attempted timing, encoding and karaoke on my own, I have a newfound respect for fansubbers.
But yeah, I'll push and push for a quick, quality release.

Seems like I am a bit late to the party. Anyway, I made an(other) encode of the OP, fresh from DVD source, of course. H.264 video, with Vorbis q6.5 audio, softsubbed karaoke, a bit cleaned up and all that. ^_^; (Suggestions for a more permanent host welcome.)
Now I just hope, that Ouvertüre will have something for Shinku fans too.

If the producers should choose to do a special for every doll, I certainly wouldn't mind, though.
