Last night at the Time 100 Gala, the gowns were mostly disappointing in that they didn't seem very influential or even compelling. And Tilda Swinton, who tried to buck the dress trend by wearing a jumpsuit, wasn't even her normal fashion-forward self, seeing as how a couple other women had the same exact idea.
With her talons and her boob wings, Rihanna is ready to take flight.
The curse of the jumpsuit is that you have to get naked to pee. It must've been a regular nudist colony in the bathroom of this event: Tilda Swinton, Savannah Guthrie, and Kristen Wiig.
Spanx inventor Sara Blakely showed of her billion-dollar baby. When you reach a certain age are you required to wear gross lacy things like Arianna Huffington does here? Photographer Lisa Bettany looks nice enough, but also pretty meh.
White seemed to work out better for some ladies, but there were still no real suprises, with Chelsea Handler in a simple gown, Georgina Chapman in a typical fluffy, elaborate Marchesa, and Sandra Lee in a Donna Reed-type silhouette.
The most smoking-hot attendee was 82-year-old Barbara Walters in belted, slinky red dress. Claire Danes's frock looked kind of like a nine-hour-old tampon. As for Cicely Tyson, it's kind of hard to pull of pink and purple together unless you're five or Mariah Carey.
Even the bad dresses weren't awesomely bad, they were just sort of fart-noise-thumbs-down bad. Tyra's been making all kinds of horrible decisions lately, so this dress is really no surprise. Ann Curry's leather belt and shoulders, when paired with the see-thru spots of her dress pattern, is all really off-putting. And poor Ann Coulter. She just doesn't know.

Last week, Shell got a step closer to drilling for oil in our planet's last wild ocean - the Arctic.
The company's oil spill response plan for the Chukchi Sea off Alaska was given the all clear by US authorities, even though it's a work of almost complete fantasy.
While Shell prepares to start trashing this stunning wilderness, putting it at risk of catastrophic oil spills and more melting as a result of more climate change, its PR people got busy and invited influential guests to an event at the National Gallery in London, in the hope that those guests will lend the Shell brand a veneer of respectability.
Greenpeace UK decided to tell the guests the truth: this year Shell is planning to drill for oil in the pristine waters of the Arctic, and its plans will change this fragile wilderness forever.
So climbers made sure that guests at the National Gallery were met with an unexpected picture when they arrived after unfurling a huge banner with the words "It's no oil painting".
Watch the action and the unfurling here:
Climbers from Greenpeace UK unfurl a banner reading "It's No Oil Painting" off the roof of central London's National Gallery where Shell, who is getting ready to drill in, and jeopardize the fragile Arctic environment, was holding a PR event.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Friday deadline for a nationwide transition from analog to crisper digital television transmission has U.S. retailers hoping for a boost in sales of smaller TVs as consumers upgrade secondary sets in spare rooms.
The digital transition has already unleashed a surge in sales of converter boxes to consumers who want to keep their existing TV sets, and an uptick in cable and satellite TV service sales for Americans who want to upgrade.
Now, retailers are hoping that consumers will turn their attention to replacing analog TVs in bedrooms and spare rooms that are not connected to cable or satellite service.
"Those are good candidates for over-the-air digital televisions," said Ross Rubin, director of industry analysis at the NPD Group, a market research firm based in Port Washington, New York.
The U.S. government spent about $2 billion and 13 years to reach the Friday deadline for the final 1,000 broadcasters to switch to digital transmission, freeing up analog signals for local police and firefighters. About 760 broadcasters already made the change before Friday.
To help American consumers get ready, the government distributed some 59 million coupons — each worth $40 — to help defray the cost of buying converter boxes. Only about half have been used so far, meaning there will continue to be some sales over the next 90 days until the coupons expire, according to analysts.
The exercise has been a cash cow for converter box makers and retailers like RadioShack Corp.
"Radio Shack has clearly benefited from very significant sales of converter boxes over the last several quarters," said Barclays Capital's Michael Lasser. The surge in DTV box sales — which generated about $200 million last year — is temporary and has already been priced into the stocks, Lasser said.
Now, he says, the trick is how well Radio Shack can capitalize on increased store traffic by placing DTV boxes next to other peripherals designed to catch the buyer's eye.
"This is just another step in the evolution of Radio Shack to define its niche in the rapidly changing marketplace for consumer electronics," Lasser said.
Cable and satellite companies saw a boost in first quarter earnings from the digital transition.
Comcast Corp and Time Warner Cable Inc posted higher-than-expected quarterly profits, and raised the possibility of more subscriber additions in the current quarter. But both also said customer growth will likely slow in the second quarter compared with the first quarter, with the U.S. economy not yet out of the woods.
The digital TV transition was initially set for February but was delayed by Congress when it became clear that nearly 6 million households were not yet ready.
Currently, about 2.5 percent of American TV-watching households, or 2.8 million, still rely on antennas to receive television shows this week, according to government officials who cited a study by the Nielsen Company.
The transition ordered by Congress to free up analog signals for public service use has been costly.
Broadcasters spent $5 billion in infrastructure upgrades and another $1.2 billion on consumer education campaigns, according to the National Association of Broadcasters.
The government is also providing AmeriCorps volunteers to help install the DTV boxes.
Commerce Secretary Gary Locke told reporters he was surprised to find elderly consumers better prepared for the transition than younger, Internet-driven consumers. "Maybe it's because they (the younger consumers) rely on new forms of media for news and programing and don't care about television anymore," Locke said.

Enlightened Journeys
I've been especially enchanted with several house photos in my collection, and I finally realized what they have in common: All of the homes use natural light to make the journeys from room to room more pleasant.
The top photo shows Claire Gunning, 8, walking down the stairway in her family's Hermosa Beach home, which was recently featured in the Los Angeles Times. Claire's uncle Robert Nebolon, the architect who designed the house, wanted the family to have a fun trip each time they used the stairs. The translucent polycarbonate wall accomplishes that.
The bottom left photo shows a "galleria" in a home in Austin, Texas, that I wrote about for Upscale Remodeling magazine. The architect and owner, Michael Antenora, also wanted his family to enjoy a bright journey along the hallway to the bedrooms.
In the bottom right photo, you see a small house I visited in North Fork, Calif., where the hallway is illuminated by a large skylight. I noticed that every time I traveled between the living room and the bedroom area I felt a lift. To me, adding this simple skylight to an otherwise dark and boring hallway was an inspired, and enlightened, design decision.

Obama Traveling to Kansas City-Area Auto Plant
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri's automotive industry will be getting renewed attention this week when President Barack Obama visits a Ford Motor Co. plant near Kansas City.
Obama is scheduled to travel Friday to Ford's new stamping plant in Liberty, located next to the auto maker's Claycomo assembly plant, to illustrate the comeback of the nation's auto industry.
Democratic U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill plans to attend the event. McCaskill says the plant is a good place to highlight the turnaround of automotive manufacturing.
The Claycomo plant makes Ford's F-150 pickup truck. The stamping plant was built to produce parts for a new model of van.
Missouri lawmakers approved an incentives package for automotive manufacturing in 2010. The proposal passed during a special legislative session after a senator ended a more than 20-hour filibuster.

Art dolls fabricated by contemporary artists are the focus of a unique exhibition called "Art of the Doll: Protection, Healing, Power, and Play" that has been curated by SSU Psychology Professor Geri Olson.
The exhibition runs through Sept. 19 and has been drawing unusually large crowds to its workshops and gallery at the Petaluma Art Gallery on Lakeville Highway.
With 27 invited artists and 33 juried artists, this exhibition provides an incredibly wide range of styles (mythology to political commentary) and mediums from (elegant heirloom limited editions to recycled paper) by an amazing cast of 60+ artists from regions throughout the US and England presenting their unique doll creations.
"This exhibit provides an opportunity to view what contemporary artists find significant in the doll form as an artistic expression," says Olson who is also curator of the Doll Project, a community-university partnership that integrates art into the K-12 curriculum.
Historically dolls, a human replica, have been used for amulets, remembrances, worship, psychological therapy and recreation. Dolls are a reflection of our socio‐anthropological and cultural landscape since early humans created bone effigies.
Other examples include the Venus of Willendorf, the clay Chinese Ghost Warriors, Egyptian tomb dolls, Japanese Bunraku puppetry, porcelain Victorian portrait dolls, which all lead to our modern interpretations and mass productions of dolls.
Some of the 10 events in conjunction with the Doll exhibition include:
- International performance artist and NEA fellow Sha Sha Higby sharing her elaborate and ephemeral "moving sculpture" costumes.
- Artist, author and counselor Cassandra Light, the founder of the Way of the Doll School, addressing the incorporation of sacred healing into the doll-making process and discussing her amazing transformative doll personas.
On Sept. 9 at 7 p.m., Olson joins her colleague Jan Sofie in a special workshop on "Using Dolls in the Classroom." Sofie is the Director of ArtQuest and a faculty member at Sonoma State University.
They have worked on numerous projects using the doll as an instrument for learning, artistic development, and self-expression. They will share examples of how to use the doll form in the educational setting. Other educators will also share their experiences.
This exhibition allows time for educators to schedule their classes so that students can visit the Arts Center. Please call (707) 762‐5600 to schedule a tour.
The Center is open Thursday through Monday, noon to 4 p.m., closed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and most national holidays. It is located at 230 Lakeville Street at E. Washington in Petaluma.

George Martin
All you need is George Martin.
He guided the Beatles' career with generosity, wisdom and an unerring ear. George Martin produced nearly everything the Beatles made, truly earning himself the title of the fifth Beatle.
Although disc jockey Murray the K dubbed himself the "Fifth Beatle," that title properly belongs to producer George Martin.
With the exception of Phil Spector's post-production on Let It Be (1970), every Beatles recording-from the first single ("Love Me Do") to the last album (Abbey Road, 1969) was produced by Martin. He also gave them their first recording contract, signing the fledgling foursome (with Pete Best still on drums) after an audition at Abbey Road studio on June 6th, 1962 at manager Brian Epstein's request. Martin's expertise as a producer and arranger, coupled with the personal rapport he developed (despite being 14 years older than the eldest Beatle) made him indispensable in the studio. The Beatles' recorded output, by the group members' own admission, owes much to Martin's input as producer, arranger and musician.
George Martin was born in London in 1926. When he was six years old, his family got its first piano, and he started taking lessons when he was eight. When he was 17 years old, Martin enlisted in the Royal Navy. He served in the Navy until 1947. After leaving, he studied piano and oboe at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He then began working in the classical-music department of the BBC. In 1950 he moved on to EMI Records, working for the company's Parlophone label. He recorded jazz (John Dankworth, Humphrey Lyttelton), cabaret music (Michael Flanders, Donald Swann), Scottish dance music (Jimmy Shand) and ballad singers (Matt Monro and Shirley Bassey). But his primary focus was on comedy and novelty records. He got his first hit in 1952 with Peter Ustinov's "Mock Mozart." He also produced records by Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Dudley Moore, Stan Getz, Judy Garland, Tommy Steele, Cleo Laine and others.
As head of A&R for Parlophone, Martin was interested in bringing rock and roll to the label. Then one day a friend contacted him and told him about Brian Epstein, the manager of the Beatles. Though the group had been turned down by Decca, Pye, Phillips and EMI itself, Martin's friend thought he might like the band. Martin contacted Epstein, and they met on February 13, 1962. They had another meeting on May 9 at Abbey Road Studios and on June 6, the Beatles auditioned for the label at Abbey Road.
The Beatles' first recording for the label was a version of "How Do You Do It," which later became a hit for Gerry and the Pacemakers. On September 11, 1962, they recorded "Love Me Do." The song made it to Number Seventeen on the British charts. They followed that with "Please Please Me," which made it to Number Two in early 1963, and "From Me to You," which reached Number One. Martin went on to produce all of the group's recordings up to the Abbey Road album.
In many ways Martin's most important contributions to the Beatles' music were his lavish arrangements, which included strings, brass and other instruments, like harpsichord, that were not common in rock and roll. He contributed soundtrack music to A Hard Day's Night (1964) and Help! (1965), and recorded instrumental albums of Beatles tunes, including 1964's Off the Beatle Track (which reached Number One Hundred Eleven in the U.S.) and The Beatle Girls (1966), with the George Martin Orchestra.
With the success of the Beatles, Martin began recording other Merseybeat acts, including Gerry and the Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas and Cilla Black. In 1965 he left EMI to set up his own production company, Associated Independent Recording (AIR), though he continued to work with the Beatles. In the late Sixties, he oversaw the design and construction of AIR Studios in London, one of the most successful studios in the world. In the Seventies and Eighties, Martin worked prolifically as a producer of albums by the Mahavishnu Orchestra, America (seven albums), Jeff Beck (two albums), Gary Brooker (of Procol Harum), Neil Sedaka, Jimmy Webb, UFO, Cheap Trick, Ultravox, Kenny Rogers and Paul McCartney (Tug of War, 1982, and Pipes of Peace, 1983).
In 1979 Martin opened AIR Studios Montserrat, a state-of-the-art facility on a Caribbean island. Although it was destroyed by a hurricane in 1989, Martin and his partners broke ground on a new AIR studio complex in England in the early Nineties. Martin has also written an autobiography (All You Need Is Ears) and edited a how-to book (Making Music). In his introduction to the latter, he wrote, "Of all the arts, music is the most sublime, and touches the heart of every human being...I believe it is a powerful force."
In the mid-Nineties, Martin returned to the vaults and to his familiar role as Beatles producer, unearthing and preparing previously unreleased Beatles tracks for the three-volume Anthology series. In 2006, he and his son, Giles Martin, remixed much of the Beatles' music for the Cirque du Soleil production of Love.
He was knighted "Sir George Martin" in 1996. A year later, Martin produced his thirtieth Number One hit in the U.K., Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997," a charity single recorded shortly after Princess Diana's untimely death. It became the best-selling single of all time and, in Martin's words, "probably my last single. It's not a bad one to go out on." After five decades in the music industry, Martin formally bowed out of record production with a final project, In My Life (1998), a collection of Beatles songs recorded by actors and musicians.
As a result of his work with the Beatles, George Martin played a major role in changing the face of rock and roll. He was responsible for much of the group's sound, and he introduced many new musical elements to rock and roll. He also had tremendous commercial success: he is responsible for thirty Number One singles in the U.K. and twenty-three Number One singles in the U.S.
Inductee: George Martin (producer; born January 3, 1926, died March 8, 2016)

Alte Pinakothek presents Jan Brueghel the Elder exhibition
Alte Pinakothek presents The Paintings Jan Brueghel the Elder an exhibition on view 22.03.2013 – 16.06.2013.
Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568–1625) is one of the most important Flemish painters of the early 17th century. He developed his own individual style at an early stage. His small-format landscape paintings, true-to-life floral works and richly detailed allegories were ground-breaking for Flemish Baroque painting.With 49 works painted in the artist's own hand, the holdings at the Alte Pinakothek in Munich are unique and document Jan Brueghel the Elder's œuvre in its many facets. Several major works were created in cooperation with other artists – such as Virgin in a Flower Garland together with Peter Paul Rubens and the magnificent 'Seasons' cycle with Hendrik van Balen. In addition, the exhibition highlights the works of a whole family of artists, as works by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Pieter Brueghel the Younger, Jan Brueghel the Younger and Jan van Kessel are also on show in the Alte Pinakothek.
Prominent loans, including paintings, drawings and prints from international museums in Madrid, Budapest, Florence, Rotterdam, London, Paris and Vienna, as well as from German collections in Coburg, Dresden, Brunswick and Dessau, among others, complement the holdings in Munich. As such, the exhibition does not just offer an overview of Brueghel's multifaceted and richly detailed pictorial compositions but, at the same time,also provides a fascinating insight into the production of artworks in Antwerp around 1600. www.pinakothek.de

Tell us about your current career position.
During my postdoctoral training as a biochemist, I started volunteer activities to help underrepresented postdocs. My activities began at conferences of the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science. While I saw that there were many support systems for minority students, there was none specifically for postdocs. I founded the SACNAS Postdoc Committee and co-founded the Diversity Committee of the National Postdoctoral Association with Dr. Arti Patel. In 2004, a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation allowed me to organize the Minority Postdoc Summit and to create the Web portal MinorityPostdoc.org. Since 2010, I have been working full time as a diversity consultant, helping graduate students transition to postdoc training and helping grads (and) postdocs find professional positions. I am eliminating the inertial barrier of "we do not know where to find them" that search committees express when faced with the challenge of diversifying a candidate pool.
What are the key experiences and decisions that have helped you reach your current position?
I maintained my diversity volunteer work at a high level in case it would be my backup career if a faculty position did not pan out. I did interview for an assistant professor position at California State University, Fullerton; but, the search committee did not hire anyone that year. Briefly, I took a position as a diversity administrator in the graduate division at the University of California, Irvine. However, I realized that the responsibilities were too limiting and would inhibit my work on the national problem of disenfranchised postdocs. Being on my own gives me the freedom to work with any constituents who want to help the most underserved stage of the Ph.D. training pipeline. Since my wife was also searching for faculty positions, I decided that pursuing a portable career would better support our priorities in raising children and staying close to extended family. My effort in creating end products from my volunteer activities has now paid off, since I can show clients my website, articles and events as accomplishments that can safeguard their investment.
How did you first become interested in science?
Growing up, I made dinosaur picture books and explored the bayou forests of my hometown Houston, Texas. In high school, I was captivated by biology, especially biomolecules like protein and DNA. As the son of a physician and nurse, I was exposed to biomedical careers. However, a college summer research experience at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson (Cancer Center) with Professor Edwin Murphy exposed me to the idea of graduate school for Ph.D. training.
Were there times when you failed at something you felt was critical to your path? How did you regroup and get back on track?
Inexperience is often the root cause of most setbacks, beginning with mistakes in coursework, foul-ups at the bench and later navigating the politics of academia, such as paper authorship. Graduate school is a wonderful opportunity to explore research, but careers are built on accomplishments. I wish I had learned earlier how to balance the exciting, high-risk questions with more pedestrian, but publishable, experiments. I ended up with essentially two thesis projects (theoretical bioinformatics and experiment-based molecular biology) when I should have picked one and completed my Ph.D. sooner. Getting back on track involved choosing a postdoctoral project where the publications came quicker but not necessarily easier.
What advice would you give to young persons from underrepresented backgrounds who want to pursue a career in science similar to yours?
My general advice would be to focus on a specialty and be productive through deliverables such as publications in either peer-reviewed journals or news stories. My motto is "we're all minorities, so let's help each other" because being a minority just depends upon your context. Thus, we should all help one another achieve common goals. I also recommend practice to improve writing skills that are critical to careers in academia and other sectors. While many students are regularly texting, they should use long-form writing to communicate thoughtful ideas. I will be exploring the use of blogs as a training ground for students to build up their writing momentum for future projects such as manuscripts and theses (1).
My specific counsel for underrepresented, marginalized individuals is to draw upon your resilience when facing environments and circumstances that disrespect your values and accomplishments. While your home community of family and friends might not understand your research, their unconditional support should stoke your drive to push forward through adversity. Be true to yourself, and your priorities when balancing work and personal demands. Use wise mentors so that you do not have to toil alone; but, be prepared to listen to advice that may contradict your short-term view. For example, in college I have Professor Nancy Mills to thank for setting me straight when I was falling behind in my organic chemistry class. Finally, once you are a successful, remember to give back so that others can benefit, too.
What are your hobbies?
Since graduate school, I found that movies with a great plot distract my curious mind and allow me to forget the troubles of the day. Later, my wife and I became parents and our fulfilling hobby was caring for our daughter.
What was the last book you read?
"Consulting for Dummies," since research training does not teach self-sufficiency outside of academic settings. I plan to create my own nonprofit in the near future.
Do you have any heroes, heroines or role models? If so, describe how they have influenced you?
From my personal life, my parents are my role models. They are dedicated to each other and their family. My parents arrived to the U.S. with little money, but their education from Peru led to successful careers. My papa likes to say that no one cares where he went to medical school. With three boys, my mami stayed home taking care of us but took leadership positions in school and neighborhood volunteer activities. So I learned the value of hard work, family bonds and community engagement.
From my professional realm, I hold in high regard Professor Gisela Mosig, who was a recombination geneticist. Her career is chronicled in a Genetics "Perspectives" article (2) so I only highlight what I learned from her. She challenged dogma, beginning with her high-school biology classes in communist East Germany that were politicized with the imposed teachings of Lysenko. She was also a humble scientist who took very seriously the mentoring of her own students and other young scholars. SACNAS teaches us to respect the sacrifices of our elder science predecessors. I am heartened when I also find role models in my recombination community to emulate.
What is it that keeps you going?
I live for building communities and correcting social injustice. My passion is mentoring people to achieve their potential, and this drives my diversity work. In science, I still maintain a bioinformatics project to satisfy my curiosity about proteins. Remaining active in research legitimizes my advice to students and postdocs about how to conduct academic life.

Despite torrential rain flooding Brisbane as a result of ex-tropical Cyclone Oswald, data centre operators have escaped unscathed.
A NextDC (ASX:NXT) spokesperson said in a statement that its Brisbane facility B1 had not been impacted by the storm or floods and continued to operate normally.
"Should there be a need for Brisbane's power supplier to turn off the mains supply to the city, B1 will automatically switch over to generator power and ensure the continuity of service of the facility."
The spokesperson added that due to affected transport routes around Brisbane, travel to the facility was limited and deliveries should be rescheduled to later in the week.
Fujitsu Australia's data centre services general manager, Michael Gunton, said there had been no requirement to shut down power to its Brisbane facility.
"We are in constant communication with clients, however in this case there has been no need to inform them of any outages," he said in a statement.
In related news, Optus has issued a statement indicating that the telco's mobile network is operational in "major population centres" in Queensland and northern New South Wales.
Telstra landline, mobile and broadband services are progressively being restored across Central and Northern Queensland and a damaged fibre optic cable at Colosseum is being repaired.

Travel insurance is an insurance instrument that covers flight accident, medical expenses, lost luggage, trip cancellation and other losses incurred while traveling. In this section, get to know the basic details of this travel insurance policy. Deductible amount is an important element of a travel insurance policy.
