Frozen out of broadband
The Earth's southernmost continent is not kind to technology. Successfully getting data out of the many scientific stations dotted around Antarctica is not easy, as E&T finds out.
For each of the past 37 years, geologist Rudy del Valle has embarked on two expeditions to the Antarctic. Even on the Earth's least explored continent, few things surprise him anymore.
But in the winter of 2005, while in his Buenos Aires office at the Argentine Antarctic Institute's earth sciences department that he chairs, he received an email with a tiny but extraordinary photo.
"I had never seen anything like it," del Valle says. The picture, taken moments earlier by one of his colleagues at the Argentine Orcadas Base in Laurie Island (one of the South Orkney Islands or Islas Orcadas del Sur as they're known in Spanish) showed a frozen tsunami, a wave that had turned to ice just moments before it hit the shore close to one of the Argentine scientific stations.
Caused by a powerful earthquake with an epicentre only 30km away, the tsunami would have almost certainly buried the station had it not been for the large area of sea ice that was surrounding the island at the time which had slowed and ultimately stopped the wave in its tracks.
As I look at the rather small, 28kB picture on my screen, I can appreciate the detail of what he's talking about, but I could certainly do with a higher resolution version. So I ask for one. Del Valle laughs at me: "What higher resolution? This file as it is took ages to be uploaded from Orcadas."
I should've known better. One thing you learn quickly in researching a feature on communications systems in Antarctica is that if there is one thing that doesn't abound down there, it is bandwidth.
Despite occupying an area larger than Europe and India combined, the Antarctic continent is yet to be reached by one of the ships that lay undersea fibre-optic cables that have helped bring the rest of the world onto a high-speed global telecommunications.
Every phone call, every email, every video feed, every byte of data that is exchanged between Antarctica and the rest of the world relies on wireless communications relayed by satellite, and even that is troublesome.
Larger research bases tend to be equipped with more sophisticated communication infrastructure than smaller ones such as Orcadas. One of six permanent Antarctic stations run by Argentina, the bandwidth available at the site in 2005 was 64kb/s. And that's after assuming ideal reception conditions and that nobody else was sharing the portable Inmarsat satellite terminal.
To date, the only Argentine bases that have been equipped with an Earth satellite station are Marambio and Esperanza. In each case, a large dish acts as the main communications link between the base and the National Antarctic Directorate in Buenos Aires, supporting telephony, fax, Internet and television traffic.
Communications inside each base; between different bases; between a base and a field camp and between a base and a ship or an aircraft are mainly done via radio using HF, VHF and UHF frequencies.
The most robust communications network in Antarctica is probably that of Australia. The Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) has all four of its permanent bases equipped with their own satellite Earth station.
Called ANARESAT, the network provides a 24-hour communications backbone between the Casey, Davis, Macquarie Island and Mawson stations with the AAD's head office in Kingston, Tasmania. The available bandwidth to Macquarie Island is 256kb/s, while the other three bases enjoy 384kb/s connections.
Unlike typical Earth stations deployed in more benign latitudes, in Antarctica these structures need to be enclosed in a 'radome' (radar dome) to protect the dish from the unforgiving conditions. At the four Australian bases, each ANARESAT radome contains a dish measuring 7.3m in diameter. They 'talk' in the C-Band to a geostationary Intelsat satellite located over the Pacific Ocean.
The geostationary orbit in which the vast majority of the world's telecommunications satellites are positioned is not that practical for Antarctica. As you get closer and closer to the South Pole, there is a point where - no matter how close to the horizon you manage to point the dish - it is physically impossible to have "line of sight" to a satellite orbiting 36,000km directly above the equator.
Most research stations are lucky in the sense that they are located north of the 82° south where, for practical purposes, beam coverage from geosynchronous satellites ends. In fact, the vast majority of Antarctic stations from most countries are also based north of 82ºS.
But there is the unluckiest research base in the world: the US-run Scott South Pole Station, which - as its name suggests - is located right at the Pole.
Not to be deterred by the laws of physics, engineers from Raytheon Polar Services have found a way to link up with geosynchronous satellites from the South Pole.
The trick is to use very old satellites that are beginning to approach the end of their operational lifespan. In order to remain geostationary, all geosynchronous satellites must periodically burn fuel to correct their trajectory. Without these burns, the spacecraft drift slightly in the north-south direction, effectively forming a figure-eight loop.
Although the effect is a problem for true geostationary satellites, these out-of-control birds are a welcome development at polar locations where - at least for a number of hours a day - they get to see the satellites rising over the horizon.
Comms access
Until recently, the Scott station could use four such aging spacecraft (TDRS-F1, GOES-3, Marisat-F2 and LES-9) to transfer scientific data and provide communications access to the Polies, as the personnel based there like to call themselves, via two separate ground station radomes.
But the fragile nature of such networking arrangement means that any one of the satellites can suddenly desert the Polies without much notice. Take Marisat-F2. At the end of August 2008, a group of Raytheon engineers and technicians at the base celebrated the repair of a major fault in the gear system of the radome used to track the GOES-3 and Marisat-F2 satellites. This had allowed them to restore the base's communications window from under eight hours to more than 12 hours a day.
Less than two months later, Intelsat told them it needed to decommission and dispose of Marisat-F2. Just like that, two precious daily hours of bi-directional, 1.5 Mbit/s broadband access vanished.
A few years ago, the National Science Foundation devised an ambitious plan that - if carried out - would bring more predictable, 24-hour broadband to the remote Scott base. The South Pole Connectivity Programme would involve rollout of a 2,000-km long fibre optic cable linking it with the French-Italian Concordia Station.
Since this other permanent facility is located at 75ºS at the edge of the Antarctic Plateau, the fibre channel would give Polies access to proper geostationary satellites.
But formidable challenges remain to be addressed if this multimillion-dollar project - originally expected to be operational by May 2009 - is ever to go ahead. Even if preheating the cable before it is covered by snow provides enough thermal protection to withstand the required -80°C, you would still need to find an answer to the massive strain that the cable would be subjected to. Indeed, moving at a rate of up to 10m per year, the flowing ice in this region of Antarctica would inexorably carry the cable along with it.
Summer collection
The obvious logistic limitations that are involved in every aspect of Antarctic operations mean that anything that communications technology can help solve remotely is hugely welcomed.
William Ray, the sustainable-energy engineer with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), says he can access the data generated by power and water meters installed at some of the BAS research stations from his computer back in Cambridge. "I can dial in into our network in Antarctica via satellite and see what's going on in real time," he explains.
Being able to see what's going on in real-time has become something of a revelation for those scientists who used to spend years in the lab of their universities or research institutions developing an experiment - only for their babies to be taken to a remote, inclement spot of Antarctica during the summer and be left there on their own for a year or two. Finding out whether the instrument had managed to survive the winter and record any valuable data required a great deal of patience.
Colder than Vostock
These days, it's very different. For example, the PLATeau Observatory is an unmanned, fully robotic astronomical observatory installed at Dome A (or Argus) by the Polar Research Institute of China in 2008.
At 4,000m above sea level, Dome A is the highest ice feature in Antarctica. It is probably the coldest spot on Earth. Although the lowest temperature ever recorded was -89.2°C in 1983 at the Vostok base also on the Antarctic Plateau, Dome A is nearly 600m higher than the Russian station. However, as it has only had an automatic weather station installed in 2005, the coldest temperature so far recorded at Dome A was -82.5°C.
Most importantly for the Chinese, American, Australian, British and New Zealand scientists who have their instruments collecting data there, Dome A is thought to offer the world's best astronomical observation conditions. So, apart from the purely astronomical observations that each instrument will be making, one of the key jobs of the project is to test the site's potential to host a large observatory.
Just like in the old days, most of the hard scientific data will have to wait until January every year to be personally extracted from the two redundant PC/104 computers running the show. However, each of the computers is connected to an Iridium satellite modem that gives the scientists remote control of the system and the chance to receive up to 20MB of data per day.
Part of that bandwidth is used to transmit a set of photos taken by four different Linksys wireless webcams. Updated every hour, the images let the astronomers constantly see how their instruments and the critical engine module are coping.
As for the outer space video feeds captured by the instruments, four specialised video cameras are used. Supplied by Watec, the cameras were previously tested for operation below -80°C. Except for occasionally de-icing the lens, they conveniently don't require any heating.
The USB solid-state disks from which both computers boot also had to be tested for low temperature and high altitude performance.
In general in Antarctica, you don't want to take any risks when it comes to thoroughly testing electronic components. Five years ago, a group of researchers from the University of New South Wales, Australia found that a flash disk that was rated down to -40°C "consistently failed if taken below about -10°C".
In their paper titled 'Robotic telescopes on the Antarctic Plateau', the scientists commented: "Somewhat paradoxically, a significant source of instrument failure in Antarctica is overheating."
That's right: overheating. Designers often concentrate so much on thermally insulating their gear to protect it against ambient temperatures of up to -80ºC that, when at the height of summer the temperature suddenly rises to a mild -30ºC, they have a big heat dissipation problem they hadn't anticipated. It's just another part of the challenge that is trying to do science in the world's coldest continent.

The Modern Renaissance Man: An Interview With Roger Gastman
Roger Gastman is an intimidating man. He's an accomplished graffiiti artist, writer, and curator, is a very successful and savvy business man, and looks like he could also beat you up, which is only because he doesn't look like your average art mogul. He's very casual, relaxed, and is always himself: he doesn't adjust to anyone nor does he want you to adjust to him. He is a very smart, strong guy who tells it like it is: that is exactly what has carried Roger to where he is now.
Roger is originally from Bethesda, Maryland, right across the border from Washington, DC. He was a punk rock, hardcore kid in middle school, which is when he was introduced to graffiti. Although he was heavily entrenched in this world, he had no idea that he was a part of a movement. "I didn't know graffiti existed outside of DC," he said, "I didn't know people were running around breakdancing: I didn't know any of that. That's what you were doing: going to high school, going out, stealing spray paint, doing things you weren't supposed to be doing."
Being in DC's punk and hardcore scene introduced him to a lot of people in all walks of life. Most notably, he had a lot of friends in bands who were constantly traveling around the country. When he was fifteen and sixteen, he was always traveling: on a school night, he'd be up in New York; on a weekend, he may have been Boston; over a spring break, he may have spent the time in Los Angeles. In doing this, he built a huge network of people all over the country. He also did some graffiti, too.
"I wasn't planning on necessarily doing anything with [my network]: I was just some kid who knew a lot of people," he says of his childhood, "I graduated from high school and, by that point, I had been traveling around the country painting graffiti. I had a network of friends (a lot of them older than me), a lot of my friends that were doing graffiti were moving toward art or still doing graffiti–but they were starting to show in galleries. They started getting jobs through corporate clients, doing graffiti work."
Where did that leave him, though? What was a smart, young artist going to do?
"I went to college: University of Pittsburgh. For barely two semesters," he says going on to clarify, "The whole college thing is another story, but basically it was just screwing around, writing graffiti, not doing much, and I decided it made more sense to go home, which I did."
That decision led to a huge moment in his life: starting the magazine While You Were Sleeping in 1997. "I had a lot of friends doing smaller graffiti magazines and figured, 'I know how to do that: I'll figure it out,'" he explains, "It was 24 pages and it was graffiti and a couple silly stories. We made 3000 copies and next issue we made more, the next issue we got bigger, the next issue we got bigger."
Although Roger says that WYWS was his college education, he still took some classes at American University in DC, but eventually stopped going. "I was doing a magazine and I could either go with the momentum of the magazine that was picking up or stop," he says, "I went with the magazine." Why? "We started to get real advertisers: we turned it into a real magazine, distributing 30/40K copies of it every other month," he detailed. WYWS became his education, his job, his lifestyle: WYWS was Roger's life.
The magazine made it possible for him to do more as his project snowballed and snowballed into business for him. "Magazines lead to making a few books, leading to selling advertisements of brands, which starts leading to brands wanting me to connect them to illustrators and graphic designers," he says, "So it began. It got bigger. [I] started curating art shows, just traveling, putting out more books, working on a little bit of film stuff here and there…" Roger literally was doing everything.
And, he never set out to do that: "There was no real intention or goal for any of this: it all happened very accidentally. And, almost like dominoes in a way: you knock one over and another knocks over and another one and another." His magazine eventually fizzled out around 2001. Although he did not explain the details, he did say to check "the WYWS book that we are working on now to find out the whole story."
How did all of this lead him to Los Angeles? "I was finding myself in LA all the time," he said, "I knew a ton of people that I met years before, when I was 14/15 years old. I figured I might as well go [to LA]. I wanted to do a new magazine that was a lot different from WYWS." Swindle was the result, a magazine that he and Shepard Fairey created. Roger and his friend, Ian Sattler, came up with the concept in 2004 and, after the first one was released, he officially made the move to Los Angeles. "The move wasn't a big transition or anything for me because I knew a lot of people here and I was out here and already had a network," he said, furthering that the move also shifted his work, too: "I was working with more and more artists, representing them, helping their work go into galleries, working with bigger brands on marketing projects, and putting out a lot of fucking books."
This is the joy of Roger: he is undefinable as he is a modern Renaissance man, a polymath, whose expertise spread further than you would imagine. How does he describe himself, then? "I don't even know where to begin to answer that question. I usually ask [the questioner], 'What do you need done? We'll figure out how to do it for you.' I definitely specialized in a specific market and have a knowledge of how to reach that market and, if you know how to reach that market, reaching the masses is way easier," he explains.
Working with large clients and brands affords him allowances to be able to do passion projects. "The History Of American Graffiti book is the biggest book I've done today with Caleb Neelon. Harper Collins published it, we talked to over 500 people for it, and we worked on that book for a long five years," he says, explaining it's relationship and importance to MOCA's Art In The Streets, which he was one of the curators of.
Roger currently has a lot of projects he is working on, but he has shifted his gaze at the moment to focus on film. "It's fun because it's different but it's also very comfortable because its a very natural progression from telling stories and putting things together in magazines and books," he says, "They're different but they're not different at the same time. That's definitely another direction I'm going off into because its the more visual way to tell the story."
Roger considers himself a storyteller most of all, but a storyteller who specializes in multiple means of expression. His two new films have nothing to do with Los Angeles or "Hollywood," but it helps to be in this city as those tools are so accessible. To give you a taste of what they are about, one of the films he has been working on before he even moved to Los Angeles and is nearing completion as the other one is a result of The History Of American Graffiti.
On top of these projects, Roger has thousands of other little pots brewing with projects. This is when he feels the most creative: when he is working on multiple things at a time, as he feels he can "cut and paste and pull from all of the projects" he's working on. It happens naturally and is not recycling, as Roger is one of the only people who is a historian of the graffiti world, allowing him to be able to pull a photo from a personal photo album or from an interview in WYWS because no one else has access to that history. Similarly, he explains this leads to overlapping in collaborators–writers, photographers, producers, staff–he works with as they are all a part of this history and creative process. Everything in his life is intertwined with the history of graffiti as he has and is living it–so much to the point he even still collaborates and works with friends he has know since middle school.
Could he have done what he was doing elsewhere, though? Is his telling the history of graffiti something he only could have done in Los Angeles? Yes, but he could have also done the job just as well in New York City? "To do what I've done, I needed to feel comfortable and I don't feel comfortable in New York." he says. He tried to work from DC, but–as he notes–DC's scene isn't quite there yet (but is getting close!). So, he explains, "It was New York or LA – LA won – So, I'm here."
He also has very specific reasons for why he could't deal with New York, which make absolute sense for him and his work. He details very bluntly: "I like space and I don't like noise. I don't like having to live an hour away in Queens or Brooklyn or wherever to have space then get on the subway, on four different lines and one of them isn't running that day and it's a 100 degrees outside and 120 degrees on the subway. I like a backyard, I like a house, I like quiet, and I also like being near things. LA does that for me."
Looking to the future, Roger isn't going anywhere. He hopes to be wearing suits everyday ("Nice suits," he jokes), he'd like a driver ("I hate driving. I don't have to have some crazy house in the hills: I just want a driver."), and "more labrador retrievers, some better pizza restaurants, and I'd probably be happy." As far as his work, he doesn't know where it will take him: "There hasn't been a big game plan for what there currently is so, if things keep going in the positive direction they've been going, I'll be happy. I've definitely returned to a lot of trains of thoughts and attitudes that I had when I was having my most fun, which was the first three years of WYWS. We were doing things we shouldn't have been doing–but we were getting away with it."
He ended his thoughts on the future with a final, sardonic, declaration: "I need to get my star on Hollywood Blvd. That's the only reason I moved here." Soon enough, Roger. Soon enough.
One thing Roger mentioned while we had our conversation was that there is a certain area of his house that no one ever mentions, touches, or publishes when running a story on him. "A lot of people come through my house, which is fine, I like it here," he says, "In the guest bathroom, I have a lot of different art. Some of the more interesting art is from some serial killers you may have heard of: The Nightstalker Richard Ramirez, John Wayne Gacy, Ottis Toole, Manson–I have a lot of things, but there is a little bit framed and hanging in the bathroom. I have a hand print from John Wayne Gacy, a Nightstalker Knife with Skull…" Roger trails off listing more serial killer artwork he has, which is impressively extensive.
"If you are a dude standing up peeing, you're staring at it. You either get it or you don't and you're either really disturbed or you're psyched," he says, "More people are psyched than disturbed–but everyone has been too big a pussy to write about it or show it."
Well, you have heard it and seen it here first: Roger Gastman's collection of serial killer art work that hang in his guest bathroom. Roger laughed, smiling happily, as we told him we would publish it. To that, he declared, "I'm glad you guys aren't too big of pussies."
We're glad we aren't either.
Roger Gastman can be seen this Friday at Creative Mornings. He also has a new print series entitled The Cans which can be purchased here. You can also follow him on Twitter here.

The UK's eating out market has never been so vibrant, with street food operators and fledgling concepts driving the majority of innovation in a sector that is expected to grow by 2.3% to a total of £87.1bn in 2016.
Will the next Wagamama be found at the local street food market or the new Nando's operating in Hackney High Street? MCA's Founders Forum series will shine the light on the next generation of entrepreneurs and concepts who, with your help, could shape the industry over the next few years and beyond.
The Founders Forum takes place over a half-day and is exclusively for rising, fledgling operators, from up and coming street food vendors through to operators with one to five sites. As well as the networking opportunities, these operators meet to hear from, and learn from, industry experts across property, finance, technology and logistics and bring these learnings back to their business.
On the principals behind the Founders Forum, Entrepreneur and London Union founder Jonathan Downey says:
"The hospitality industry is not very generous when it comes to sharing advice and experience – too many of your colleagues and competitors can't wait to see you fail – and new business owners should grab every opportunity they can get to learn and gain inspiration from the people who have already been there and done it. Every week I see beginners in business making the same crazy mistakes and it sickens me."
"My biggest regret in business is that there was never anyone there in the early days with more friends, contacts, experience and money than me to advise and guide me. Had that been the case, I would have got a lot richer a lot quicker."

It's been a busy year so far! 2016 started off with three projects- all where I am back to playing drums! First off I joined local legends The Vodkanauts, doing their signature "power lounge" style, and have been having a blast. The band includes Jonathan Harrison (vocals) Mark Warren (guitar) Ryan Arsenault (keys) and John DeBellis (bass). This pic was taken right after one of our first shows at Skippers- dapper! Unfortunately, with keyboard player Ryan moving to Germany, The Vodkanauts have called it quits for the time being, however it was a great year of banging the drums with these guys!
Next I was asked to play drums on my friend and former bandmate Ted Lukas's newest album, and that has been going great and sounding kick ass as well!
This group of fine players includes Tim Cronin (bass) Ted Lukas (Guitar and vox) myself (drums) and Joe Sanders (guitar)
Thirdly- i was asked to join local power pop legends Barely Pink to play drums with them doing their recreation of the entire Ziggy Stardust album for WMNF's Tropical Heatwave 2016...It turned out to be quite a night as we had a packed house at the Crowbar in Ybor City! From left to right at the show; Mark Warren (guitar) Brian Merrill (vox) myself on the kit, Michael Hoag (bass) and Dan La Joy (guitar). Good to get back behind the drums this year, just to mix things up!
cool stuff going on now...

review: 6/15/15 by Andy Warrener ..."WMNF shows always attract the most diverse denizen, and this night was no exception, its cornucopia yielding anyone from 20-something hipsters and rockabilly swingers to hippies and rockers in their 60s. The Vodkanauts gave way to Parson Brown performing The Hollies, which gave way to Ricky Wilcox and the Moonsnakes tackling upbeat renditions by The Who.
Wilcox and Company opened with "I Can't Explain," followed it up with "The Kids Are Alright" and "So Sad About Us." The patently recognizable songs and Wilcox's giant, windmill swipes of the guitar brought the crowd back to full throat sing-alongs until they wrapped the set with "Substitute." full review on press page

YAY! We now have another new record available for major consumer consumption! "Old Glory" is our newest release on Sunshine Drenchy Records. ...so check it out, please, at cdbaby, iTunes, Amazon, etc..."old Glory has it's own page on this site, so go to it for more information, stories about the albums creation and song info! if you are looking for "Last Day..." or "Old Glory" search under 'Ricky Wilcox and The Moonsnakes'; if you are looking for "Monkeyshine" type in just 'Ricky Wilcox'
previously...(2012) "Last Day On Planet Earth" is finally done and has now been released on Sunshine Drenchy Records, home of The Ditchflowers, Steve Robinson and Steve Connelly, among other notorious Florida pop-meisters...The record looks pretty cool (if I say so myself) and sounds great and my friends at QCA in my hometown of Cincinnati did a great job.
My earlier record "Monkeyshine" is also still available on iTunes and CD Baby (digital only- hard copies have sold out!). A cut from that album, "Insignificant," was featured on ABC's All My Children for most of 2009...I swear this has nothing to do with the show's cancellation!
My song "Drive On" (a cut from my first solo recording "Bonecrusher" -soon to be available for digital download!) was selected to be included on the newest BAAMO (Bay Area Arts and Music Organization) compilation CD, "Tales of Highways and Low Roads" available at Baamo.org. This is funny because it was actually recorded in 1991! Old school and still pretty ass kicking...
AIRPLAY!! This year we got our first European airplay from "Last Day..." via RADIOGIRL on Dollard Radio - Oldambt, The Netherlands! Host/Producer/Engineer: Johanna J. Bodde
Available via live-stream at www.dollardradio.nl - Saturdays 9AM-11AM EST. We are also getting international airplay from our friends in British Columbia with "Spaceship Over Tulsa" and "Picture" being added to the playlist at 92.5FM, Shaw Cable 106.1, and live at www.TheX.ca in Kamloops, BC, Canada...also locally we were the "Album of the Week" on WMNF and Music Tampa Bay!
My original band The Moonsnakes is off and running (again), and all my other projects are staying busy as little beavers as well...look for me solo, the Little Kings, and Dick and Feef gigs coming soon!
So please stay tuned...I promise to try and keep things interesting!

Ramsign offered an enamel sign to one of my readers.
I used the not-so-earth-friendly old-fashioned print it out, cut into strips and draw by hand method, because I can not get that little random generator to copy!
For the draw bucket I used the vintage Ontario Honey pail I bought at a local antiques mill.
Blurry photo and all (10pm and poor lighting)...
And the winner is...

First up, French high-fashion retailer Promod is now open on the first level of Destiny's older section. The store is across from Forever 21.
It's one of the Retail Group of America brands announced for Destiny earlier this year. Jennyfer and Lipsy, two other RGA brands, opened in the last few weeks and more are on the way.
The opening for one of the RGA offerings, Billy Beez, has been pushed back. The indoor play park for kids was aiming to open this month, but is now targeting early January.
The attraction will be on the third floor of Destiny's expansion section.
Cheesecake Factory is coming together and is now aiming for an opening in early 2014. The restaurant had been targeting Dec. 10.
The chain's exterior signage has been going up on the mall for weeks.
World of Beer will be open this month too and work is underway at 5 Wits, another entertainment option.
5 Wits is bringing interactive attractions to the third floor at Destiny. One will be focused on an espionage adventure and the other will involve an Indiana Jones-style theme.

Ranking the best corporate law firm is based on a process of meticulous evaluation that includes the accumulation of lawyer and client analysis, which comprises peer review from leading attorneys in their field, along with supplemental data provided by law firms as part of the traditional compliance process.
Eligibility for a ranking in the case of corporate law depends on the metro region where the firm resides. A law firm must have at least one lawyer included in the Best Lawyers rankings in corporate law in that metro area. You can get information on how the best lawyers are chosen by looking into the website bestlawyers.com, which goes over the selection process in more detail.
In your case you are searching for a business lawyer and want to find the best corporate lawyer or corporate law firm in your area. Although you can get invaluable information by looking at the best lawyer reports for individuals and firms, it is always best for anyone seeking a corporate law firm to meet with them on a personal basis.
Not every corporate law firm is the same and since every situation is unique, finding the right corporate law attorney who specializes in the area of your needs is what's most important. It may take a while and many meeting before recognizing the right firm for you, but do not be swayed by these best ranking reports, because as we all know there can be a lot of bias involved.
Though you may not agree with the findings after meeting the corporate law firm in person, it is still important to read all of the data that was collected on the best lawyers and which corporate law firms scored the highest. This information can be extremely valuable and help you make a wise and educated decision when seeking out the best corporate legal advice.
Every year a few magazines put out a best law firms list and go over the criteria in great detail as to how each one is selected. Usually the methodology for each determination remains the same every year and across the board in all the major publications. This is mainly for informational purposes only, and should not be considered as the sole source of your reasons behind which corporate law firm you should choose. It simply gives you the reasons why others chose these firms as the best of the bunch. To be included in the best law firms list, a lawyer among the group has to have been chosen in the rankings of the best layers.
How law firms get chosen is based on the responses provided by clients who are asked to provide feedback on firm practice groups, their understanding of corporate law, addressing their expertise on the subject or matter at hand, responsiveness, cost-effectiveness, understanding of how a business operates and what its needs are, civility, and most importantly whether or not they would recommend the firm to another client.
Additional information included the option for clients to provide feedback on corporate law firms that they've worked with and asked to comment on the firm. Although these were not used in the rankings, but only for informational purposes when it came time to the formal evaluation process.
Lawyers were also given the opportunity to rate other firms and vote on their expertise, integrity, responsiveness, cost-effectiveness, and whether they would bring this matter to another firm, and if they considered that firm to be a chief competitor. The lawyers voted on the most preeminent law firms within the specific practice area in this case it would be corporate law.
In combination with client and lawyer feedback a general score was given to select the best corporate law firms in the country based on thousands of evaluations provided by many prominent leaders in the industry. All of this data was then compiled and broken down into each geographically area and compared to other firms. Depending on area size and population, it would have some impact on scores and rankings.
When looking at the best corporate law firm in your area, you can select one based on the national rankings that are produced by well-respected publications, or you can interview each one yourself. Keep in mind that any law firm nominated to be in the best rankings, or has achieved this status does have a top ranked business attorney working for them. This is something to consider if you do want the best lawyers to represent you in any corporate matter.
In many cases it can come down to cost, since the corporate legal teams that do get ranked very highly in your area are going to charge the most amount of money. This is certainly something to consider and of course may not be feasible depending on the type of case you are bringing about.
There is much information online where you can get valuable insights into how they go about using peer review studies to determine which are the best business lawyers in each geographical area. You may have some disagreements when you meet them, but the rankings are based on expert opinion of various lawyers within the corporate law industry.
Inclusion in Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer-review. The methodology is designed to accurately capture, as the unanimous opinion of top lawyers about the professional abilities of their peers within the same legal practice area geographical area.
The best lawyers group uses a transparent survey process that is both sophisticated and rational, designed to bring about meaningful and substantive evaluations of the quality of legal services. Based mainly on the belief that peer review is what brings about the best qualities in a fair and rationale way to determine which business lawyers exemplify what a great corporate lawyer should be.

Tissue samples were fixed with paraformaldehyde and blocking with 5% serum for 1 hour at 220C was performed. The sample was incubated with primary antibody (1/1000) for 10 hours at 220C. An Alexa Fluor® 555-conjugated Goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody at 1/500 dilution. The images were generated from same slice and same area (KF, a part of LPB on mouse brain atlas). Scale bar is 200 µm on the left image and 20 µm on the right image. Blue colour represents DAPI staining, while red one is for Neuropeptide S.

There seems to be a disconnect between the text of the nuclear deal between Iran and the U.S. and its allies and the way the Iranian government is presenting the specific terms of the historic agreement, a KleinOnline analysis has found.
Reflecting the Islamist party line in Tehran, Iran's official IRNA state-run news agency released what it called a "Summary of provisions of the CJPOA" referring to the Comprehensive Joint Plan of Action affirmed by Iran and six world powers, including the U.S.
Iran's "summary" seems to distort the actual text of the deal.
Regarding the lifting of sanctions, the IRNA claims that "all economic, financial sanctions in banking, finance, oil, gas, petrochemical, commerce, insurance and transportations leveled by the European Union and the U.S. under the pretext to Iran's nuclear program, will be lifted on early stages of the agreement."
The news agency fails to inform that according to the agreement, U.S. sanctions will only be removed once the United Nation's International Atomic Energy Agency verifies Tehran is in compliance with the "implementation of the agreed nuclear-related measures."
Iran portrays the agreement as affirming Tehran's entire "nuclear infrastructure will remain intact, no centrifuges will be dismantled and research and development on key and advanced centrifuges such as IR-4, IR-5, IR-6, IR-8 will continue."
However, the specifics of the agreement put "agreed limitations on all uranium enrichment and uranium enrichment-related activities including certain limitations on specific research and development (R&D) activities for the first 8 years."
The text of the deal states Iran "will commence testing of up to 30 IR-6 and IR-8 centrifuges after eight and a half years" and that "Iran will continue to conduct enrichment R&D in a manner that does not accumulate enriched uranium."
The deal places "certain limitations on specific research and development (R&D) activities for the first 8 years, to be followed by gradual evolution, at a reasonable pace, to the next stage of its enrichment activities for exclusively peaceful purposes."
Iran's state-run media boasted the agreement allows the controversial Arak Heavy Water Reactor to "continue its work and remain intact, to be modernized, and equipped with latest technology, new laboratories and new installations and through cooperation with the owners of most sophisticated and most secure technologies in the world."
"Early demands for dismantling or changing it to a light water reactor is void," the IRNA agency added.
While the outside building and architecture of Arak may technically remain "intact," that word, as utilized by the IRNA, seems to espouse a fundamental misrepresentation of the agreement.
The agreement specifically calls for Iran to "redesign and rebuild a modernized heavy water research reactor in Arak, based on an agreed conceptual design, using fuel enriched up to 3.67 percent, in a form of an international partnership which will certify the final design."
Continues the text of the deal: "The (Arak) reactor will support peaceful nuclear research and radioisotope production for medical and industrial purposes. The redesigned and rebuilt Arak reactor will not produce weapons grade plutonium."
"Except for the first core load, all of the activities for redesigning and manufacturing of the fuel assemblies for the redesigned reactor will be carried out in Iran. All spent fuel from Arak will be shipped out of Iran for the lifetime of the reactor."

In season 1 of Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends, we were introduced to a video game whiz named Francis Byte. Through an accident of fate caused by the Gamesman, Francis ultimately becomes Videoman. In season 3, Videoman returns, and now, he wants to be a hero. By the end of the episode, "The Education of a Superhero", Francis is directed by the Spider-Friends to a certain school in Westchester County..........
Regrettably, unlike Firestar, Videoman didn't make a transition into the printed page. Firestar starred in her own Marvel comics miniseries, which hit stores after Amazing Friends ended production, but Videoman, despite making another appearance or two, is lost to the mists of time.

Saturday Morning's Forgotten Heroes: Videoman (1983)

The problem is "Videoman" is stuck forever in the early 80s!
Sure I suppose one could upgrade the character to correspond to modern gaming, but he's still pretty forgettable.

- hobbyfan said...
Yeah, and he was a pretty weak concept to begin with.
I wouldn't even consider upgrading him to modern gaming, not with most of the games being of the excessively violent variety.....

State Launches Creative Economy Network
Applications now open for industry organizations
The Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development is now accepting applications for organizations to be a part of the newly established Creative Economy Network. The network is a regional effort to that will accelerate the economic growth of the Commonwealth's creative industries across the state. The Creative Economy Industry Director and the Creative Economy Council , the Network will coordinate resources, track progress, and promote efforts to support these industries on the local, regional, and state-wide level.
"With over 100,000 workers and a $1 billion statewide impact, the creative industries in Massachusetts are an important part of the Massachusetts economy, said Helena Fruscio, Massachusetts Creative Economy Industry Director. "This new coordinated system will help us support the enhancement, encouragement, and growth to these vital industries in every corner of the Commonwealth."
The creative industries include the many companies pushing the limits of creativity in the marketplace, including innovative video game companies, cultural non-profits, design, marketing and architecture firms, and the Commonwealth's authors, architects, movie directors, artists and musicians.
The Network will help implement the Commonwealth's Action Agenda to support and grow the state's creative economy industries. Based on the findings of the 2012 CreativeNEXT Listening Tour, the Action Agenda identifies Five Areas of Action as key to the success and expansion of these industries:
- Business Development: Generate new opportunities for the businesses, organizations, and individuals working in the creative industries. Improve access to technical assistance, expertise, mentorship, and training for companies within the creative industries by bringing coherence and integration of the available state, regional, and local resources.
- Access to Capital: Increase access to direct financial support for creative industry organizations and businesses. Help coordinate trainings and mitigate barriers to access.

Importance of a Business Overview
Watch any television commercial or examine a magazine or newspaper advertisement and you will discover the impact that short, concise action-provoking business overviews have on people.
It sounds simply enough. However, many entrepreneurs, whether they be shopkeepers, artists or members of the medical, investment, scientific or educational communities, struggle when asked to stand up before an audience and fully describe their business in less than three minutes. Entrepreneurs can find the task so daunting that they shift the responsibility to the head of their marketing department.
To create an engaging overview of their business, entrepreneurs would do well to start with their company's mission statement. Make sure that the mission statement includes the company's philosophy, culture and guiding principles. Over time, as the company continues to develop and expand, the culture will change.
- slide 3 of 4
Company Philosophy and Mission
However, a firm's philosophy and guiding principles should generally remain solid and unchanged. For example, entrepreneurs who operate beauty salons might have a mission statement that reads, "To offer a world class salon that offers a diverse range of services to clients across cultures. To be the top salon in the Northeastern part of the United States."
Focus on the company's culture. To narrowly define the culture of their business, entrepreneurs should ask themselves questions like - What types of employees and consultants does the company hire? Is the business solely a virtual firm? Are we flexible with work arrangements and allow employees to set their own work hours or do we demand that employees work tirelessly until business goals are met?
Have a clear understanding of the company's history and guiding principles. Entrepreneurs who operate businesses that create and manage data and statistical analysis for other small businesses and government agencies might have guiding principles that read, "Provide consistent accurate data analysis for global clients operating in the healthcare industries." Another guiding principle for entrepreneurs who operate data management businesses might read, "Research and verify reportable facts and figures with a minimum of three credible sources or references."
Guiding principles, culture and the company's mission statement should have a direct connection to the products and services that the entrepreneur provides. After an entrepreneur becomes familiar with the history, guiding principles, culture and mission of their company, they can combine the four to create a two to three minute overview of their firm. This is the overview that entrepreneurs will benefit from presenting to their prospective business partners, clients and customers.
- slide 4 of 4
Sample Business Description
Entrepreneurs can make passengers who sit next to them on airplanes and trains aware of their company while they travel to meetings or other official or personal engagements. Pulling all the elements of a company's main points together, an entrepreneur who owns the beauty salon referenced earlier in this article might describe her business to a potential client like, "Feel Fine Beauty Salon was founded in 1989 by me and another empowering woman, Betty Jones. We started as a small company located above a storefront in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Today we have a suite of salons in Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and Princeton. Feel Fine Beauty Salon offers a broad range of world class products and care. Hand braided hair designs, coloring, trims, stylish cuts that fit the face, imported conditioners and moisturizers and customized nail designs are a few of the services and products that we offer to male and female clients from the world's cultures. Our clients consist of local residents and international tourists. Feel Fine Beauty Salon's mission is to be the top culturally diverse salon in the Northeastern part of the United States."
Opportunities for entrepreneurs to present and describe their business abound. Because industry leaders, potential business partners, clients and customers often have full and busy schedules, entrepreneurs who are armed with a clear yet thorough description of their company can leave a positive and lasing impression on people they discuss their business with. Over time these discussions will likely generate new revenue by leading to increased product and service sales.

Buying Gifts
Gifts are for everyone
At the end of every year, we seem to find ourselves in the same holes looking to dig our way out of financial, emotional or intellectual debt. The coffers have been emptied and we find our boxing day offerings are pretty meager. The truth is we overspend on the material aspects of relationships and usually neglect the spiritual side of life. There is a soul to life and we don't know the depths of soul beyond the gospel choruses we hear in the background of our favorite songs on the radio.
"Wow, that has soul!"
This may not be the way in which you compliment music art or a person, but it is something that can be said about every person. They've got soul is a way of saying that they give you a feeling of life, excitement, and courage. The presence of a song, person or idea can invigorate, rejuvenate and embolden you to greater action or fewer mistakes.
The lesson to be had is that soul can not be substituted for with energy but is itself the producer of great energy. Without soul a song will never come to life. If there is no soul to a gift you'll find it is received with little energy. The soul of something has to do with how much energy you breathe into it. I spent hours thinking about creating and developing gifts for my family and they were all very thankful.
Everyone should know the joy of receiving a gift they like. To receive a good gift a person must first express clearly what they like. Some individuals are not good at conveying a clear signal about what they want. I tend to be one of those people who sends mixed signals so this last year I've tried to be intentional about expressing what I want and not mixing interest with desire and desire with passion.
It is best if I can clearly state what it is I want in any given situation before

UFC President Dana White understood some fans wouldn't be happy when he decided to slot light heavyweight champion Jon Jones against Chael Sonnen. However, to hear him tell it, White didn't have a lot of options considering Jones' need to recover from an arm injury he sustained in his September title-defense against Vitor Belfort.
"Basically, we got the word after we got his elbow checked, that he couldn't fight until April. So, it made sense for him to do the Ultimate Fighter," said White in a conference call with media, explaining that the time would give the organization a time to truly establish a clear-cut contender considering the possibilities currently out there. "Lyoto Machida can fight, Dan Henderson can fight, Alexander Gustafsson and (Mauricio Rua) are gonna fight in December… everything will keep right on moving."
"It made sense. These guys will both coach the Ultimate Fighter, they'll fight when the season's over, and then whoever's next in line at 205 pounds can fight Jon Jones for the title," he concluded as far as the company's approach to contendership, also pointing out that it wasn't as if the belt was being held up until April because of TUF but rather because of Jones' injury.
Another factor in making the match involved Jones' desire to silence Sonnen after a stream of smack following the 25-year old's decision to decline a bout on short notice with the outspoken grappler.
"Obviously Chael wants this fight and has been asking for this fight," began White, mentioning the fans as well, before bringing Jones into the equation. "Jon said, 'Listen, I can't fight until April. I'd like to go in there and whoop Chael's ass and then I'll defend the belt against whoever you want me to defend the belt against."
While Jones' bout against Sonnen certainly pushes back his availability to put his gold up for grabs against a legitimate challenger, the well-rounded phenom has shown extreme confidence in his ability he can escape the bout with Sonnen unscathed, meaning White's plan may just work out fine no matter what the public's perception currently is.

Nikki Reed To Check Her 'Email'!
Director Kelvin Tong (The Maid) has cast Nikki Reed (Twilight, Snap) in his upcoming horror thriller, Email which is due to shoot this May in Singapore. Per The Hollywood Reporter, it's in the vein of The Ring and The Grudge.
The film, "stars Reed as a young journalist who travels to Singapore to investigate the mysterious circumstances of her sister's death and discovers a string of bizarre killings involving a cursed email. Along the way she meets Ted, an ex-pat technology reporter, and together they face the supernatural forces and unravel a mysterious conspiracy far bigger than they expected." Peter Poon's SPJ Enterprises is producing with the help of Zachary Green, Leon Tong and Kat Goh.
Not to jump in the fray too early, but I'm hoping that's a working title.

Just over a week ago, the Toronto Blue Jays were losing altitude. The New York Yankees were going to catch them any day now, it was being said and written.
Since then, the Blue Jays have soared.
Lloyd Moseby hit a tie-breaking triple in the eighth inning Saturday to touch off a four-run eighth inning that carried the Blue Jays past the Chicago White Sox, 6-2, and maintained their five-game lead over the New York Yankees.
"We don't know when, where or how, but at some point in the game, we're going to have a big inning," Moseby told the Associated Press. "We just know we're going to win close ball games. It's a funny feeling."
The Blue Jays' eighth victory in their last 11 games boosted them to 33 games over .500, a franchise record.
With the score tied, 2-2, Tony Fernandez opened the eighth inning with a walk, was sacrificed to second by Damaso Garcia and scored when Moseby hit his triple high off the fence in right center. Rance Mulliniks followed with his 10th homer of the season.

The purpose of this competency framework is to provide an outline of the logistics skills and competencies required to support the development of strong relationships with international clothing retailers. The analysis only considers Egyptian clothing companies as the clothing industry is considered one of the strongest industries in Egypt in terms of exports, production and employment (Magder, 2005). Information was acquired by reviewing related scientific journals, specialized professional association reports, logistics job descriptions as well as structured interviews with managers in an Egyptian clothing manufacturer company. The work responsibilities-driven approach by Rothwell (1994) was ed to create a competency framework as it produces outputs, competencies and roles from work activities of the target job category of the study.

There is something about Christmas that requires a rug rat. Little kids make Christmas fun. I wonder if could rent one for the holidays. When I was tiny we would by a real tree and stay up late drinking hot chocolate and finding just the right place for the special decorations. It seems like my parents gave up the magic when I figured out the Santa lie. Maybe I shouldn't have told them I knew where the presents really came from. It broke their hearts.

First Lady Michelle Obama may want Americans to move, but more and more of them are apparently opting instead for surgery to correct their aesthetic shortcomings.
According to experts, arm lifts – a surgery in which the skin on the upper arms is tightened to avoid sagging – have become increasingly popular, at least in part thanks to Michelle's frequent use of sleeveless dresses. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that $61 million was spent last year to do brachioplasties, and cited a recent poll stating that "women most admire the arms of first lady Michelle Obama, followed closely by Jennifer Aniston."

Rich Port, Poor Port. Revue SCIENCE, Vol 313-28, July 2006, p.475-476.
On an early weekday afternoon in a barrio outside San Juan called La Colectora, a dozen men and one woman pay $1 each to enter a shooting gallery, a small house where users inject and then typically collapse into a chair. Out front, two outreach workers and a doctor from Iniciativa Comunitaria set up a needleexchange program. Julio, a 33-year-old heroin addict, shuffles up and lays eight syringes on the ground, receiving an equal number in exchange. Julio, who is homeless, does not shuffle because he is high: Injecting has left him with bloody and blackened abscesses on his calves that may be gangrenous, says Angel González, a clinician with the program.
