A divided Commission on Chicago Landmarks on Thursday voted against a proposal to place the partially demolished former Michael Reese Hospital Campus -- which includes buildings co-designed by noted architect Walter Gropius -- on the National Register of Historic Places.
Also Thursday, the commission unanimously voted to recommend to the Chicago City Council that the houses of two great African-American literary figures, author Richard Wright and poet Gwendolyn Brooks, be given city of Chicago landmark status.
The 5-3 Reese vote occurred against a backdrop of demolition at the South Side campus, which is centered at 29th Street and Ellis Avenue. The city of Chicago plans to tear down all but two buildings at the campus to make way for a residential complex.

As you all know one of the most important acquisitions on Turkey's internet market was done last week. One of the largest etrading companies, eBay, has bought 93% of GittiGidiyor, which it was minority shareholder of since 2007.
As you must have realized, we did not give any info on the sales figures when we first shared the news. But we can give the real value figure of GittiGidiyor as of today, and I'm sure you have been waiting for it.
First let me explain why we did not share this information with you before.
As you know Webrazzi is the most reliable site on titles including flash news, acquisitions and investments in Turkish internet market. It is even the same for global media, internet and investment companies. We owe this high credibility to the fact that we have been sharing news with you after filtering all the information very sensitively for nearly 5 years.
We had acquired various and very different figures on the news of eBay buying GittiGidiyor. In fact, we had got those figures before the acquisition was done. However, we did not share those figures with you then, as we did not want to do any harm to the process of acquisition, as we could not have those figures confirmed.
After we posted the news on Webrazzi, some of our readers, even some media and major companies have contacted Webrazzi and me in person to learn the real sales figures, so we started to review those figures, trying harder than ever to confirm them via our sources.
GittiGidiyor's value is 215 million dollars!
Upon considering many information and figures that we received from sources that are close to the companies in the acquisition process, we have clarified that the valuation for GittiGidiyor that was done in the process of acquisition by eBay has been 215 million dollars.
I have contacted GittiGidiyor to have this figure confirmed, but they have underlined that they could not make a comment on this. I understand this, as this process in still ongoing and it is not possible for them to give a number.
As a result, we can now easily say that the figure which GittiGidiyor partners have mentioned as "more than 200 million dollars" in an interview to Habertürk on Sunday, is in fact 215 million dollars..
Hopefully this information will be of value for those who wanted to be informed and the valuations that will be done after that in Turkey's internet market.

Weapon seizures at courts revealed
Thousands of knives, nearly 50 firearms and more than 100 replica guns have been seized at courts in England and Wales in the last two years, new figures have shown.
Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS) insisted it took security "extremely seriously" and had "robust" systems in place to protect court users after the number of confiscated weapons was revealed.
In a Freedom of Information (FOI) response to the Press Association, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) revealed 14,094 knives were seized by court security staff between April 2012 and May this year.
Some 14,094 knives were seized by court security staff between April 2012 and May this year.
They included 6,402 knives with blades longer than three inches and another 7,692 "legally held" blades less than three inches long.
Some 49 "genuine" firearms were confiscated at courts, while a further 113 replica guns were also taken from people entering court buildings, according to the figures.
A HMCTS spokeswoman said: "HMCTS takes the issue of security within courts extremely seriously and has a robust security and safety system to protect all court users and the Judiciary.
"This system includes mandatory bag searches, metal detectors and surveillance cameras, as well as court security officers who have legislative powers to protect all those in the court building.
"The powers of the court security officers include the ability to restrain and remove people from the building should there be a need.
"It is an offence to be in possession of a knife with a blade of more than three inches. If an individual is caught trying to enter any court building with such a knife or gun, the police will be called and appropriate action will be taken."
Under current laws, owners of confiscated knives with blades less than three inches can apply to have them returned.
However, the MoJ did not reveal how many knives were returned to their owners, stating that it would not exceed the cost limits under FOI laws to contact more than 500 court sites to discover the figure.
A HMCTS spokeswoman said: "The owner of a knife, no matter what length would not have them returned to them on leaving the premises. The return of legally held knives (blades under three inches) would require the owner to write to the appropriate manager on site, requesting its return.
"HMCTS does not hold information centrally on the number of requests made for the return of legally held knives."
Any seized firearms would be handed over to police, she added.
Some 2,510 knives with blades less than three inches were confiscated between January and May, along with 4,694 in 2013 and 488 between April and December 2012, according to the figures.
Another 1,002 knives with blades more than three inches long were seized from January to May, along with 4,504 in 2012 and 896 between April and December 2012.
Twelve genuine guns and 10 replica firearms were confiscated between January and May. Thirty four real guns and 54 replicas were taken from people entering court buildings in 2013.
Meanwhile, three guns were seized between April and December 2012 along with 49 replica firearms.
The MoJ said it did not hold figures prior to April 2012 or for the remaining months in 2014.

Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) Facing Uncertain Future
Filed under: Air National Guard, Alenia Aeronautica, Business Line, Companies, Congress, Connecticut, Contract Additions, Contract Awards, Countries, Department of Defense, development program, EADS, Events, Federal Budget Process, Finemeccanica, Italy, L-3, Lockheed Martin, logistics, Military Aviation, Ohio, production program, Raytheon, Restructuring, Services, States, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army
The C-27J Spartan is a twin engined light transport aircraft purchased for the U.S. Air Force from a team made up of L-3 Communications (LLL) and Alenia North America, part of the Italian defence and industrial group Finmeccanica. The C-27 is not only used by the U.S. but other countries across the world.
The C-27 was the result of a program originally called the Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) which was conceived by the Army as part of their plans caused by the decision to cancel the RH-66 Comanche helicopter in 2004. The Comanche was going to be a new attack and reconnaissance helicopter utilizing many new technologies to maximize its stealth and performance. In development for almost twenty years it finally had begun serious testing when it was cancelled. The money freed up was used to by systems like the UH-60M, the AH-64D Block III, CH-47F and UH-72A helicopters.
The Army suffered from a lack of internal heavy lift for intra-theater missions unlike the Marine Corps who possessed their own C-130 transports. The JCA was meant to add this capability and relieve the pressure on the rotary wing fleet primarily being used to carry cargo in Afghanistan and Iraq. Fixed wing assets would be more efficient and economical.
In 2007 the Army and Air Force selected the C-27 from L-3 and Alenia over bids by Raytheon (RTN), who had teamed with EADS North America, offering a Spanish made C-295 and Lockheed Martin (LMT) who proposed a C-130 version. An initial contract worth about $2 billion for 78 aircraft was awarded to the winners.
The JCA was made a joint program and it was originally planned to issue it to Army and Air Force National Guard units to operate. In 2010 the Obama administration decided to transfer the program wholly to the Air Force to manage and operate. The number of aircraft was potentially reduced and only the Air Force Guard would receive it.
The first unit stood up in 2011 in Ohio where four aircraft will be based at Mansfield. In 2013 the Connecticut and the North Dakota Guard are supposed to received the aircraft.
There are now concerns that the C-27 program may be on the chopping block due to budgetary pressures. The Connecticut unit may be the first to feel this pain although the 2012 budget as submitted does contain the funding for the aircraft it may not make it into the final budget.
The C-27 is not a priority for the Air Force and new equipment for the Guard also sometimes takes hits. If the Air Force leadership is forced to sacrifice some of their funding it may be the C-27 is what is given up. It is also a small program and is primarily oriented towards non-combat missions at this time further making it easier to give up.
As the budget goes through these machinations over the next few years other programs similar to the C-27 may be on the chopping block. That does not mean they will be eliminated but they could see cuts, delays and changes to their size, missions and deployment plans. These programs will have to rely on the Congressmen and Senators who represent the states where they are made or based to protect them through trading of priorities and support.
The size of the cuts the Defense Department must make dictate that whole programs whether in development of production will have to be cut. The C-27 might just be one of them.

Air Force Contracts With Biotechnology Company UES Inc.
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, development program, Events, Ohio, S&T, Services, States, U.S. Air Force, UES Inc.
The United States Air Force Research Lab (ARFL) contracted with Ohio based UES Inc. to provide biotechnology and nanotechnology research in support of materials development. The contract is worth about $44.5 million to the company and will be a major expansion of its work for that service. The ARFL is tasked with managing and funding most of the basic research performed by the service focusing on areas to improve aviation technology.
The contract will be carried out at Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio where UES already conducts some work. The focus will be on looking at how biotechnology, nanotechnology and natural processes may be used to strengthen and protect materials. Obviously the Air Force needs to invest in material development as they are looking for lighter, stronger and stealthy ones to build advanced aircraft out of. UES has been growing recently and looking to become a prime contractor for these kind of contracts rather then just being a sub.
Ohio cannot hire qualified people and decides to contract
The State of Ohio implemented a PeopleSoft based personnel system. They have been unable to hire the 35 people needed to run the system due to competition for PeopleSoft experienced workers. Now they are attempting to contract out the work; hoping that a private company will have more luck in this area. One of the issues that the Federal government has had is they are not competitive in salary for high-demand skilled positions. This is especially true if is it a new technical area that there are not a great deal of experienced people out there. The hiring process is too cumbersome and there are issues hiring younger workers at the necessary salaries.

A four-year starter on the Concordia women's hockey team and a member of the Cobber track team, Chelsey Petrich '17, Elk River, Minn., lives a life busier than most college students. The pre-med biology major has found time to focus on her studies while also being involved in many on-campus and off-campus activities. We had a chance to interview Petrich to see what her Concordia experience has been like.
Why did you choose Concordia?
I chose Concordia because every time I stepped on campus, it felt like home. The first time I was on campus was for my sister Cassey's first campus visit. After the tour was over, she looked at me and said she could see us going to this school together. It always had this sense of coming home, instead of being away from home.
I knew I was going to be pre-med and I had heard wonderful things about the rigorous science track here. The cadaver laboratory was particularly intriguing to me. I was also excited about the opportunity to play hockey. I wasn't ready give up on hockey quite yet and I am so unbelievably happy that I didn't. Another reason that factored into my decision was that my sister was at Concordia. Cassey and I were practically inseparable our entire life, so the idea of being at the same school as her for another three years and having the potential opportunity to play hockey with her again was practically impossible to pass up. These reasons plus the generous scholarship I received were why I chose Concordia. I am so incredibly proud to have the privilege to call this institution my home.
Which on-campus and off-campus programs and organizations are you a part of?
Since I am an athlete, I have the privilege to be a part of our school's Student Athlete Advisory Committee and have been for the past three years. We have a close relationship with Special Olympics North Dakota and Cobber Kids. Through SAAC, I was asked to be a part of a Mental Health action team at Concordia as an athletic representative. This team is working to make mental health more of a focus and core value at Concordia by providing better resources and options for assistance to our students.
I am also on the executive team for Colleges Against Cancer, which is the organization that hosts the annual Relay for Life event on campus. Additionally, I was an Orientation Leader this past fall, where I had the opportunity to get to know the greatest club ever (Club 25!). Orientation has definitely been one of my favorite experiences here. I also have a couple of on-campus jobs.
How have you been able to balance extracurricular activities with sports and homework?
It took a lot of learning from my mistakes to find balance in college. I did not have the perfect studying and time management skills coming in to college. However, I learned quickly that if I wanted to be successful and achieve my goals, I had to be very self-disciplined. It wasn't always easy, but there were many times where I had to study while all my friends were watching Netflix or hanging out. My planner keeps me on track as well. School is and always has been my number one priority. I know that is what will give me the best possible future. Therefore, I have learned to make the most of my free time. I haven't been perfect, but I always do my best and learn from my mistakes.
Your sister is a recent graduate and former Cobber hockey player. What was it like going to school with a sibling and what was it like being on the ice with your older sister?Going to school and skating with Cassey was one of the best parts of being at Concordia. From the start, I had a constant support system that made my transition to college very easy. She allowed me to find my own place here. She would offer her advice when I asked but never impeded on my path.
Cassey allowed me to develop into an independent individual. However, we knew that we always had a friend to go to whenever either of us needed something. It was such a unique opportunity to get to play hockey again with her. We had a lot of chemistry when playing. We always knew where the other was going without a whole lot of verbal communication. We also always knew that we were partners if we had to pair up in practice or at lifting without discussing it. She is still supporting me by coming to my games and telling me her thoughts afterward. I love seeing her after my games. Having Cassey at Concordia with me was such a blessing. I know I wouldn't be where I am today without her. She is and always has been my role model and best friend.
I understand you plan on attending med school after you graduate this spring. Have you found a school to attend or do you have any specific schools in mind?
I was recently accepted to the University of Minnesota Medical School in Duluth, which was my first choice. As a physician, I would like to practice within primary care or a subspecialty. I have high interest in family practice, dermatology or orthopedic surgery. However, I plan to go into medical school with an open mind so I can fully experience every specialty.
Looking back as a senior, do you have any advice for new first-year students or prospective Cobbers?
Concordia is one of the best decisions I have made in my entire life. I have been pushed to become a better person here every day. This institution really does better prepare you for your future, whatever that path may be.
Concordia also fosters any sort of passion you may have. Pursue those passions, even if they are different than your friends'. Join a club or activity that interests you. And if you start it and find out that you don't enjoy it as much as you thought you would, don't be afraid to find something new to try. There are many activities that I tried as a freshman that I no longer participate in. No one is going to be mad at you for no longer being in their club or activity. However, I urge you to be involved in something because there are incredible opportunities here. I have met so many awesome and genuine individuals throughout my time here and I would not have met them if I didn't try these different activities.
Also, I implore you to get to know the staff and faculty at Concordia. They are some of the most genuine, empathetic and interesting people on campus. They are here for you. They want more than anything for you to succeed, so get to know them.
My biggest piece of advice is to try anything that you have interest in because it will bring personal growth whether you love every second of it or find you don't like it. My activities outside of academics are where I have developed skills that make me a well-rounded and capable individual. I am so grateful for everything Concordia has done for me. Allow Concordia to do all of that for you, too.

I am not sure what that last post was saying but this is what (seems to have) worked for me:
Go to properties of the folder you want to save files to, click advanced settings.
Change permission on the System to take away the ability to change attributes on that folder.
After researching around the theory seems to be that some program is running by the system that turns the files to read only. Different people have disabled different services depending on OS. This permission change should prevent any Local System run services from making the read-only flag change.

It's not necessarily a good sign that the Milwaukee Bucks have been a far more engrossing franchise in the past few weeks than they were during the previous regular season.
First came the sale of the team to hedge-fund billionaires Marc Lasry and Wes Edens, which was announced immediately after the Bucks finished their worst year in franchise history. Then they made an impressive splash in the NBA draft last Thursday, selecting Jabari Parker of Duke with the second pick. Parker is already drawing talk of being the league's rookie of the year next season, and he charmed Bucks fans (who still exist, presumably) by promising that Milwaukee is where he wants to play.
These are the Bucks, however, so the Parker era of good feeling lasted less than four days. On Monday, the new owners hired Brooklyn coach Jason Kidd, apparently without telling anyone else in the Bucks' organization, including general manager John Hammond or now ex-coach Larry Drew. Kidd reportedly wanted greater control of the Nets and immediately shopped himself to Milwaukee when management rebuffed him. It didn't hurt Kidd's prospects that he and Lasry are friends.
Reaction from America's morally upright brigade of sports columnists was brutal and predictable. Milwaukee's new coach was portrayed as a power-hungry jerk by Mitch Lawrence of the New York Daily News. "Kidd needs to Buck off," he wrote. Gregg Doyel of CBSSports.com called Lasry a meddler and "one of those guys. The kind who thinks he's smarter than everyone else."
Of course, no one cares what sportswriters think, and memories of the Kidd mess will fade quickly. With few exceptions, the NBA remains a players' league anyway, so the real story is Parker. He became the first freshman in Duke's storied history to lead the Blue Devils in scoring and rebounding, and if Kidd can persuade him to play defense, Parker could become the cornerstone of a team fans finally care about again.

Oh, wait. It looks like "your boys" are just as incompetent as you say Angle and Mourdock supposedly are.

Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish: I am sorry that, having come to this amendment, we cannot give the knock for knock that the noble Baroness, Lady Hollis, requested on the last one. This is a serious matter of principle. I listened to the points that were made by the three noble Lords who have spoken, and I think there will be quite a gulf between us on this issue.
The effect of Amendments Nos. 194 and 17 would be to prevent the costs of the new regulatory authority being met by the levy on pension schemes and instead require the Secretary of State to make appropriate funds available from taxation. That is usually expressed as being from the Treasury. But of course it is not actually from the Treasury; it is from taxpayers. We do not accept that it is right to burden all taxpayers, many of whom are not members of occupational pension schemes, with the cost of regulating such schemes.
We consider that it is right that the cost of the authority should fall to those who establish and run pension schemes, because they are responsible for ensuring that their schemes are properly run and it is in their interests to promote members' confidence in schemes. We have therefore decided that the authority will be funded by a levy on occupational pension schemes.
Reference was made to the Occupational Pensions Board and the money that currently goes to fund it. The bulk of its work is involved with granting and withdrawing contracted-out status. That work will go to the contributions agency of the DSS, which will continue to pay the costs of administering the contracted-out arrangements. The registry, which is funded by the existing levy, will pass to OPRA and will continue to be funded by levy. A small number of residual OPB functions, mostly concerned with very limited powers to modify schemes, will also pass to OPRA. Therefore I do not think that there is a proper comparison to be made between the Occupational Pensions Board and OPRA.
We are committed to ensuring that the costs of the authority are kept to the minimum that is compatible with effective regulation. It is important that we should be able to apply checks and balances on the authority's expenditure. We therefore cannot accept Amendment No. 14. I also have to resist Amendment No. 13, which would remove the power from my right honourable friend to approve the number of staff which the authority employs.
As to the reference to the Treasury, I am sure that the Committee will be aware of the recent fundamental review which resulted in much greater delegation of authority to other departments of state in matters such as pay and conditions of service. In the light of that review, we shall consider whether references to Treasury approval are appropriate and bring forward any necessary amendments during the Bill's passage. That is the first small concession that I have made, and I appreciate that against the background of the main issue
The argument which has been pressed on us, and which is understandable, is the one that was put by the noble Lord, Lord Marsh; namely, that he who pays the piper calls the tune. Both the noble Lord, Lord Marsh, and the noble Baroness, Lady Hollis, looked to their experience with the press for examples in which the Press Council, in the case of the noble Baroness, found itself dictated to by the press itself threatening to refuse to pay up if it did not like the way in which the council behaved.
There is a major difference here. For a start, the OPRA board, with its full-time chairman and six part-time members, wholly independent and appointed by and accountable to the Secretary of State, will ensure that the authority itself cannot be dominated by one interest group. Fears about its independence in that regard are unjustified.
But, equally, this is not self-regulation; it is statutory regulation, and the levy is a statutory levy, paid not to the body itself but imposed and payable to the Secretary of State. It is to the Secretary of State that the money would be owed. He, in his turn, passes the money over to the authority to run its budget and fulfil its obligations. We believe that these two partsthe composition of the board and the way in which the levy will be imposed via the statutes which one hopes we shall pass in the next few monthswill prevent the "He who pays the piper calls the tune" syndrome applying in this respect. We believe that it is fundamentally correct that the cost of regulating occupational pensions should fall on those who set them up and who run them. We do not believe that it is right that the generality of taxpayersmany of whom will not be fortunate enough to benefit from an occupational pension schemeshould be asked to pay a share of the cost of the regulatory authority. We do not believe that in any wayeither the way in which it is funded or the way in which we propose that it is fundedwill detract from its efficiency and effectiveness.
Lord Monkswell: We need to be a little more concerned about this issue than the Minister seems to indicate. Effectively the Minister suggests that we have a predicated tax; that we are to pay for something out of the public purse but we are to levy a special tax on a special group of people to pay for that disbursement. If one thinks of just about every other sphere of activity in our lives, that principle can be taken right across the board. That is not done, and for very good historical reasons. The Committee needs to be very, very concerned about what I would describe as the thin end of the very dangerous fiscal wedge that the Government effectively describe. Can the Minister advise the Committee as to whether there is any precedent for the sort of action with which we are faced?
Lord Tugendhat: Perhaps I may intervene briefly to take up the point that was made by the noble Lord, Lord Marsh, and also perhaps the point that was made by the noble Lord, Lord Monkswell. I should say, as we have
In a previous incarnation I was chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority. That body has been in existence for a very long time. I believe that it was set up by the Heath government. Certainly, the noble Lord, Lord Boyd-Carpenter, was the first chairman. It operated throughout the period of Labour government, as well as more recently under Conservative government. Although the Civil Aviation Authority's capital expenditure is derived from public funds and it has all the difficulties of dealing with the Treasury that that causes, its regulatory function was financed by those whom it was or isI should use the present tenseregulating. The Civil Aviation Authority is a statutory regulator; but at the same time it levies charges on those whom it regulates.
I listened with great interest to the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Marsh, about the Newspaper Publishers Association and the Press Council, but I must say that I did not have a similar experience at the Civil Aviation Authority. I do not remember any airlines threatening not to pay. It would have been very ill advised of them to do so. No doubt the noble Lord, Lord Boyd-Carpenter, will bear me out on that point.
I make that point because I feel that the presumption that he who pays the piper is a major influence on the regulator need not be the case. No doubt it was the case in some areas of national life. It was not the case in the one of which I speak with personal experience. I agree that that is a very different field from pensions; but the point made by the Minister about personal pension schemes being for their members rather than for the generality of taxpayers should be borne in mind.
I have no idea how the industry or the company with which I am connected will view this matter when it comes up for discussion. But the point about statutory regulation and charging those who are regulated is one that is more complicated than the earlier intervention suggested. There is a successful precedent for it in a quite different field.
Lord Marsh: I do not want to press this point. The argument is not based wholly on "He who pays the piper". This is a very different situation from that which exists with the airlines industry.
First of all, employers do not have to provide occupational pension schemes at all. They do so voluntarily and on a non-profit basis. They are expensive to administer. The Government are increasingly aware that occupational pension schemes will have to be supplemented. Roughly 50 per cent. of the population are covered by occupational pension schemes and therefore the Government are interested not only in maintaining them but also in encouraging them to expand further.
In addition, with regard to solvency and solvency margins, the Bill can impose considerably increased burdens on the providers of pensions. That is against a background in which those providing the pensions administer them voluntarily. They make no profit out of
It seems to me that from every point of view this amendment is pushing what the Minister declares to be a principleI understand thatto a ludicrous point, where it can cause harm to the policies which lie behind the Bill; namely, to make the pension schemes outside the government area wider and more acceptable. It might be understandable if there were a vast amount of money involved, but in this kind of situation it does not begin to make any kind of logic.

While walking toward the Diotti Museum, and stopping to take photo of the imposing buildings on the two sides of the Street (see my previous post on Casalmaggiore), I noticed the Duomo closing the view. Could I pass it without a close up? No way….
The Cathedral of Saint Stephen is the mother church of the city, built on the site of the former temple that dated back at the time of Matilda.Built from 1840 by the local architect Fermo Zuccari, the cathedral was consecrated in 1861. Of neoclassical style, the elevation given by a wide staircase that leads to a porch with arches that gice access to the temple,with a Greek cross plan, and each side presents an order of Corinthian columns.The presbytery is raised to allow the construction of the crypt below.Among the furnishings from the previous Church,in addition to the paintings, a majestic organ Serassi adapted to the new premises and a large choir placed behind the main altar, with stalls of the seventeenth century. The bell tower, between the church and the Abbey Palace, could be built only a few decades after the consecration of the temple, in 1898, when they were found the necessary economic resources. It features a concert of eight bells, recently renovated. About seventy meters high, has become rightly one of the best known symbols of the city and one of the tallest towers in the province.
Of impressive dimensions (length. 70 m .; width. 52 m .; height of the dome about 55 meters), it was so designed to emphasize the importance reached by the town after being raised to Royal City and with unconcealed hope (never realized) to be nominated as Bishop Cathedra, head of its own diocese independent and freed from Cremona.
Inside paintings by Giovan Battista Trotti said Malosso – The Last Supper – (mid '500), by Christopher Agosta, a local artist disciple of Malosso – The Adoration of the Magi -, William Hunt said Moncalvo, (first half of '600) – Prudence, Justice, Fortitude and Temperance. Near the main altar there's a copy painted in the eighteenth century by Marco Antonio Ghislina of Madonna and St. Stephen also known as Our Lady of Casalmaggiore a work of 1540 by Francesco Mazzola, called Parmigianino, executed for the pre-existent church of St. Stephen. That table became a possession of the pictures gallery of the Duke of Modena Francesco I d'Este, to pass, after many twists and turns, to the Gemaldegalerie in Dresden where it is now. It was one of the last works of Parmigianino, who died in Casalmaggiore in 1540 and was buried in the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Fontana, just outside the city.
Inside there were priests and friars, I didn't want to bother them too much, so I took some photos with my cell phone almost secretly, so forgive me if they're a little blurry….
And finally the G.Diotti Museum. Inside it's forbidden to take photos ….and you know how mad I become when I'm told "no photos allowed", so…..yes, I took some, my bad, while the tour guide wasn't looking….
The museum was created in 2007 to house the Civic art collections in the building that was home-studio of neoclassical painter Giuseppe Diotti (1779-1846), born in Casalmaggiore, long-director and professor at the Carrara Academy of Bergamo. At the origin of the museum project, edited by Valter Rosa, more than a decade of research and exhibitions designed to raise awareness and promote the production of major artists of the area, from the mid-eighteenth century to the present. The exhibition was made possible thanks to the program that allowed the City to have support by the Lombardy Region and the Province of Cremona, with the aim of bringing together under one roof all the civic art collections, ensuring in this way a better conservation, enhancement and public use, also giving special attention to the research, educational services and temporary exhibitions such as qualifying requirements of a modern museum.
Due to the origin of the house as the home of the artist, the museum develops in particular the issues of the studio and the artist's work. The house-atelier of Giuseppe Diotti, in the main floor, is a museum of the nineteenth century: starting from the works of the precursors and masters of Diotti, his early works and the maturity ones, to the production of the students and the profound changes that occurred in the art of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
The new wing of the palace, The Gallery of Modern Art, is dedicated to the painters of the twentieth century: the main ones are Goliardo Padua, Gianfranco Manara and Tino Aroldi, all related to the theme of landscapes (and here finally I could use my camera freely!). One wing of the building is dedicated to the path of the studios: here are rebuilt with original materials the workplaces pof ainter Goliardo Padova, the painter-decorator and sculptor Ercole Palmiro Vezzoni Priori. The Rossari Space is a special room reserved for temporary exhibitions alternating solo and group exhibitions devoted to moments and figures of local art history.
A branch of the museum is represented by the School of drawing "Bottoli", an ancient school of arts and crafts whose collections allow you to document the history of art education in Casalmaggiore in the nineteenth century and offers important examples of applied arts and crafts This section is housed in the Renaissance Palazzo Martinelli, a few hundred meters from the Museum Diotti. Once called House Vaini, is a valuable construction of the fifteenth century with a brick facade, which shows a simple but beautiful door, Bramante style. The windows present very rich ornamentsin in terracotta. The interior as well presents staircases, ceilings and doors in the characteristics of the buildings of that era.was home of Don Ferdinando Francesco Ferrante d'Avalos, Marquis of Pescara, consort of Vittoria Colonna, when Philip II granted him the fief of Casalmaggiore.
And that was the end of a very busy day but relaxing as well……….when I got out of the school, the first rain was falling, so I needed to find a shelter …..and I found one that had a indoor garden….
I couldn't stay forever anyway; looking outside the tent I could see the rain was still heavy……can you imagine what a mess I was when I finally reached my car?….

Tipp camogie in crisis as senior Manager Eoin Kennedy is sacked
The Tipperary senior camogie team is in criss this week and might not participate in the All-Ireland championships following the sacking of Manager Eoin kennedy by the County Board.
The move, which has taken observers of the game in The Premier County by a great deal of surprise, has sent shock waves throughout the scene and has forced the senior players to issue a statement giving their full backing to the Borris-Ileigh man who is a school Principal in Cork.
County Board officials relieved Eoin Kennedy of his duties following a meeting last week and at the present time the squad is rudderless with no Manager in place.

On last week's episode of Louie, during one of the comedy club stand-up routine segments, Louis talks about how it is weird/hard to live in a country with such a horrible history of racism and slavery. "How can you feel good about yourself as a country," he said, basically, I'm paraphrasing, "when you know that you did a bunch of horrible shit in the past?" I bring this up only because it sort of reflects the inherent problem with Captain America as a character. Not only is he the superhero epitome of American military strength, but he proudly presents an almost painfully propagandistic image of that military strength, stripped entirely of any shadow of the suggestion that there are times in which we as a country and as an army have acted in less than noble fashion. (To all the comic book nerds out there, I'm sure there's some 10-book arc in which Cap' has a tearful realization about the atrocities committed in Vietnam, or whatever, but for the most part you know what I mean.) Obviously, this is all a bit much to expect a summer blockbuster–and a summer blockbuster striving to launch a new franchise no less–to deal with, and I'm not suggesting that there is any kind of moral failure in having Captain America boldly and unapologetically punch
Hitler Red Skull on the kisser, but there is something boring about it, and ultimately I think that most of the problems with this movie came from the inherent problems with the titular character: in the world of Iron Men, Spider-Boys, and them mighty Thors, Captain America is kind of a clunker.
For one thing, there is an earnestness to Steve Rogers from the very beginning that borders on the annoying. I'm not saying he needs more 2002 "I live in Williamsburg and hang out at Galopogos" style ironic-detachment, but he could pull the stick out of his butt and try to have some fun every once in awhile. When your best friend invites you to a double-date at the World's Fair, get a Choco Taco and ride the Ferris Wheel. You can try joining the army again tomorrow. It's nine o'clock at night, is the recruiting station even open?! Come on, Steve. You're being a real pill! And while I'm sure it is this same earnestness that is what makes him so "good," I came to this movie to have FUN. As talented and compelling as Stanely Tucci and Tommy Lee Jones are in general, it is crazy how much they POP on screen when placed next to Chris Evans and his Captain American toast slice. This movie must have saved a lot of money on bounce screens since they could just kick-fill everyone else's faces by shining the light against Chris Evans's blank white face.
Not that his t-shirts weren't tight! Don't get me wrong, his t-shirts were very very tight.
And while the jingoism and IMAX Patriotism are to be expected, there was something almost insulting about the way in which the 1940s were portrayed as a United Colors of Benetton commercial about tolerance. When Captain America puts together his cracker jack team of war aces, there is an asian dude and a black dude and all of them talk like they're hanging out at Paddy's Pub on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Please. (And I know the guy with the walrus moustache was a nod to the comics, but who is HE supposed to be? He looks like an Irishman from the 1840s come to Deadwood to stake his claim.) I know this is a comic book movie and so reality is flexible and realism is not the point, but there are limits. I find it more believable that Odin's energy-cube transported Red Skull out of his futuristic space-craft into the far reaches of the Middle World than I do that a woman would be placed second-in-command of the Army's most selective elite force in 1943.
My biggest problem with the movie, however, was much more mundane and had less to do with single credit college survey courses about racial politics and much more to do with WHERE WAS THE ACTION?! After the scene in the factory, when Captain America meets the Red Skull for the first time, there is a quick debriefing back at base and what follows is a great two-minute montage of exciting Captain America action sequences. Wait, that's it? It is almost as if the movie's sludge of dialogue and plodding romantic intrigue is momentarily interrupted by a trailer for another Captain America movie that you'd much rather see. Hey, that movie looks neat, let's go see that movie! As quick as it begins, it is over, and we are back to standing around arguing over who-kissed-who and whether or not Germans stink. (SPOILER ALERT: they do.)
Also: Steve Rogers's tiny CGI body at the beginning of the movie fueled as much comic relief as Odin's energy cube fueled skyships.
Captain America: The First Avenger did have some good parts! As I mentioned, Tommy Lee Jones and Stanley Tucci were really good in it. They are good actors! I hope someone finally recognizes that and puts them in some movies. I liked how Captain America started out as a corny patriotic propaganda machine doing burlesque shows to sell war bonds. The silliness of his name and costume were put front and center rather than being added to the Willful Suspension of Disbelief Pile. If anything, they could have done way more with that because it was probably the most "interesting" part of the movie in terms of the mythology and also dealing with the whole military poster child thing. Also, despite what I just said about the lack of decent action in the movie, the final action sequence was fun and exciting and well done. Oh, and the ending was great with the minor exception of the last line of the movie, which was stupid and cheesy and kind of ruined how good the ending was being, but in general, him waking up in an old timey hospital room but then it being a sound stage and running out into Times Square 2011 (because what better place to build an old timey hospital room sound stage for the recuperation of a super soldier than Times Square) was neat. "I had a date." Oh shut UP, Captain America! You are single-handedly ruining this mediocre but mostly decent movie!
Actually, the very best part of the whole movie was
how all of Red Skull's mega-bombs were labeled with the names of the cities they were going to be dropped on (LOL) probably after the credits when they showed a trailer for The Avengers. Holy moly! Now THAT looks like a good superhero movie. Should we get in line now? Do we need to get in line right now? I want good seats, so maybe let's just meet at the theater now. No matter what, Captain America: The First Avenger made a whole bunch of money at the box office this weekend so they are definitely going to make more of them. So there's that.
Alright, enough chin music. Take it away, boys.

(Missouri Basketball App) -- The University of Missouri formally introduced Kim Anderson as its newest men's head basketball coach on Tuesday.
Missouri Athletic Director Mike Alden was the first to introduce Anderson during a 10 a.m. press conference in the Great Room of the Reynolds Alumni Center.
Alden said Anderson got a five-year contract with the total package worth more than $2 million per year. He Anderson "Missouri made" and the right man for the job before calling him up to the podium.
During his introductory news conference as the Tigers coach, Anderson welled up a few times and paused to collect himself. He said the job was dream come true for him and his family.
"There's no place I would rather be," he said while thanking Alden for "bringing him home."
The decision to hire Anderson came shortly after the school's board of curators met in Columbia, Mo. on Monday.
"I'm honored and humbled to have the opportunity to return to Mizzou and lead a program that our family is so vested in," said Anderson, who spent 11 season on staff at Mizzou over two stints (1982-85 and 1991-99).
The 58-year-old coach won a Division II championship at Central Missouri this past season, going 30-5.
"We are pleased and excited to have Kim Anderson leading our program," MIssouri Athletic Director Mike Alden said. "He's a man of great character, integrity and respect."
Anderson was first a graduate assistant for Norm Stewart from 1982-85 and helped the program to the 1983 Big Eight title, the program's fourth straight.
As a player, he helped Mizzou win its first Big Eight crown under the Hall of Famer Stewart in 1976 and was the Big Eight Player of the Year in 1977, averaging 18.3 points and 7.9 rebounds per game as a senior.
"The fact that he's a Missouri Tiger at heart is important, he is committed to Mizzou and has a passion to build a program of which all Tiger fans will be proud," said Alden.
A news conference to introduce Anderson was set for Tuesday morning.

Alex Trebek renews 'Jeopardy!' contract through 2018
Related Stories
Alex Trebek has more questions -- and answers -- in his future.
Although he's dropped hints in recent years about retiring, the "Jeopardy!" host just reupped his contract through the 2017-18 season.
The 74-year-old Trebek joins fellow Sony Pictures Television game show hosts Pat Sajak and Vanna White, who hold down the fort at "Wheel of Fortune."
"The enduring success of 'Wheel of Fortune' and 'Jeopardy!' serves as a testament to the talents of these remarkable hosts," the exec producer of both series, Harry Friedman, said in a statement. "The renewal of their contracts continues the special bond that Pat, Vanna and Alex have formed with generations of TV viewers."
The game show veteran reportedly made $10 million a year with his last contract.
Now in its 31st season, "Jeopardy!" averages 10.7 million viewers, while "Wheel of Fortune" reels in 11.4 million viewers in its current 32nd season.

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – Helen Alfredsson was visibly upset leaving the Mission Hills Country Club's clubhouse Wednesday afternoon.
She was seen in tears earlier in the day.
News that she was being withdrawn from the Kraft Nabisco Championship for missing a pro-am tee time Wednesday hit her hard. Technically, she wasn't being disqualified from the championship, but that's what it felt like. Maria Hjorth and Shanshan Feng also were withdrawn for missing pro-am tee times.
"I have no comment," Alfredsson said after leaving a meeting with LPGA commissioner Mike Whan.
Twice this reporter approached Alfredsson for her explanation, but she declined to answer questions both times.
Alfredsson is a former Kraft Nabisco champ (1993). She's also a member of the LPGA's board of directors.
Here's what happened: Alfredsson went to bed Tuesday night as the third alternate for the early morning tee times on the Arnold Palmer course at Mission Hills. When Amy Alcott withdrew from the pro-am, No. 1 alternate Seon Hwa Lee moved into Alcott's spot. Alfredsson moved up to the No. 2 alternate with Maria Hjorth No. 1. When Patty Sheehan was a no-show for her 8:40 a.m. tee time, LPGA officials tried unsuccessfully to reach Hjorth. LPGA officials then turned to Alfredsson but also couldn't reach her. Natalie Gulbis was the next alternate, but she exercised her right to a pro-am exemption, something each player can do once a year. Finally, Michele Redman filled Sheehan's spot.
Sheehan, according to LPGA officials, did not show for her tee time due to a "miscommunication" with tournament officials.
Alfredsson appealed her withdrawal but was denied.
LPGA rules require that alternates check in with officials before the pro-am begins to make themselves available should withdrawals require their participation. Players who fail to show up for pro-am tee times are withdrawn from the tournament.
"Helen spoke to Mike about it and tried to explain she was available and wasn't contacted," said David Higdon, the LPGA's chief communications officer.
Why Alfredsson couldn't be reached remains unclear. Whan said Alfredsson's discussion with rules officials, and her appeal, were confidential discussions.
'It's tough for everyone, but it's tough to bend a rule,' Whan said.
Alfredsson, Hjorth and Feng will not be replaced in the field.

STATE—GOP gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie is trying to get voters to focus on the upcoming election as a choice between him and incumbent Jon Corzine, but he is often distracted on the campaign trail.
Christie has offered an array of issues contrasting himself with the current governor, sounding a message of change reminiscent of Barack Obama's campaign last year.
Instead of talking about his plans to cut taxes, rein in state spending, or stop corruption through tough law enforcement and new ethics reforms, the challenger is frequently defending himself against political smears paid for with the incumbent's Wall Street jackpot.
Corzine voted to confirm his appointment as U.S. Attorney and repeatedly praised his service before he launched a multi-million dollar smear campaign against GOP challenger Chris Christie.
"The incumbent needs to rip apart his adversary because voters focused on corruption and the faltering state economy do not believe Corzine is worthy of re-election," said Democratic strategist James J. Devine, who says he won't be voting for Corzine. "Like President George W. Bush in 2004, his only chance of victory lies in making the alternative seem worse."
The incumbent's massive advertising campaign has drawn attention away from the 88 ways to make New Jersey better listed on the challenger's website at www.christiefornj.com and other details about Christie's plans if elected.
"They may come in and say great things about Jon Corzine, but it's not like Barack Obama or Bill Clinton is going to move in and run the Statehouse," said Christie in response to questions about the parade of Democratic luminaries who have endorsed the incumbent.
"If you had Jon Corzine's record, highest unemployment in 33 years, highest tax burden in America, highest property taxes in America, you'd want to talk about anything but that," Christie said in an appearance on MSNBC.
"He's trying to frame this race as a content between the incompetent and the evil," said Christie. "He's not even denying that he's incompetent."

Girl Guide stalwart hangs up uniform
TODAY heralds not only the start of the new year but also new beginnings for Warwick woman Ann-maree Clark.
The lifelong Girl Guide has hung up her uniform for the last time, as she sets her sights on new adventures.
Mrs Clark, whose guiding name is Wirrinda, served 30 continuous years in the organisation, following a short break.
Starting out as a seven-year-old Brownie, the eager guide worked her way through the ranks to eventually become a leader.
Although she is ending her time in the Girl Guides, Mrs Clark said she was saddened to be farewelling her friends.
"Guiding has been a part of my life and my family's life for as long as I can remember," she said.
"I am giving up something I enjoy for other things I will enjoy but have yet to discover.
"I made a decision that when I stopped working I would stop guiding - and that is what I am doing."
Mrs Clark said the organisation offered girls and young women a great opportunity to develop new skills they may never have otherwise.
"I have done guiding and I believe in guiding," she said.
"It allows girls to learn new things and achieve anything they want to do."
Her career in the Girl Guides has featured several highlights, including meeting Betty Clay, the daughter of legendary Scouts founder Lord Baden-Powell.
She also initiated a life-long friendship with a Canadian counterpart named Elizabeth.
The two became pen friends at a young age and still send emails and chat over the phone today.
As she farewells something that has been an integral part of her life for so long, Mrs Clark said she hoped her time had impacted someone.
"I hope I have had a positive impact on some of the girls and they have learnt some skills," she said.
"I also hope they can recognise their own abilities and have gained a sense of achievement and some good memories."
When asked what she would miss most about guiding, Mrs Clark said the answer was simple.
"The company of the girls and their individual personalities," she said.
"I really have enjoyed my time in Guides."

Carriers will not leave packages containing alcohol unattended, even if you have a signature on file. If you are not able to be at home to receive your wine during normal business hours, we recommend having it shipped to your place of work, or opting to have your shipment held at the nearest UPS pick-up location.

If it has been more than two business days and you have not received this email, you may contact firstname.lastname@example.com for assistance.
