|Series Notes
|In 1986-87 the Academy of Indian Dance produced The Return of Spring,a dance-drama based on the 4th century work of the poet Kalidasa,a classical poet of the North Indian Gupta Empire (ca. AD 320-550). The Return of Spring is originally a completely Sanskrit work without music or lyrics,portraying medieval South Indian oral epics and devotional poetry. In order to make the production more accessible to the audience,Sita Narasimhan,who played a character in the dance drama,also acted as a narrator,the sootradhar,who gave summary explanations of the plot in English. In this production the styles of classical Indian dance and the folk dance of southern India merge,portraying a dramatic tale of love and war against the richness of Indian mythology. This production was choreographed by V.P Dhanajayan from India and was a bespoke production executed by London based South Asian dancers.
The cast of The Return of Spring included Naim Khan,Alamial Palim,Chitraleka Bolar,Unnikrishnan,Venkatachalapati,Georgina Legorreta,Bavaani Nanthabalan,Pushkala Gopal and Piali Ray. The production team were: choreography: V.P. Dhanajayan,Artistic Director: Pushkala Gopal,music: Vidwan T.V. Gopalakrishnan,vocals: Rajkumar Bharati,adaptation and narrative: Sita Narasimhan,designer: Craig Givens,design assistants: Issabella Hargrave and Joanna Parker,lighting design: Mark Walker and stage manager: Gerald Wells.

|Biographical Notes
|Akademi: South Asian Dance began life as The National Academy of Indian Dance,which was established by dancer Tara Rajkumar in London in 1979. The aim of the academy was to raise awareness of,and increase accessibility to,Indian dance as an art form that deserved to be shared and appreciated within contemporary British culture. By the 1970s,as communities of South Asian origin had settled in Britain,Rajkumar felt that there was a need to bring Indian dance,like other South Asian art forms,out of private homes and local community halls,and into the public arena. Herself an internationally renowned performer,Rajkumar is a choreographer and teacher of the 'Kathakali' and 'Mohiniattam' forms of Indian dance. In 2001,she was awarded the Australian Roll of Honour of Women as part of 'women shaping the nation' for her work in arts and culture.
The history of Akademi can be charted into two main periods: the Beginnings,between 1979-1989,which highlight the pioneering activities of the Academy of Indian Dance,and the Present,from 1990 to the present day,which marks a transitional period for the organisation and brings it to its contemporary shape.
Based in London,at its outset in 1979 the Academy of Indian Dance operated from the Commonwealth Institute. It then moved to the October Gallery until the mid-eighties,and in 1986 to the Contemporary Dance Trust at The Place in Euston until 1999. Since its inception,the institution has been concerned with building audiences in the UK for South Asian dance. In its early years,the academy provided evening dance classes and functioned as a touring company,presenting dance-drama productions,which brought dance artistes from all over the UK to perform professionally in a touring production. The Academy of Indian Dance also pioneered the way for thematic conferences and seminars,involving dance,arts and culture professionals from the UK. The conferences created a forum in which to discuss ways to integrate more Indian dance performances into UK public spaces,encourage the growth of Indian dance amongst South Asians in the UK and advance research into Indian dance training needs.
In the early 1990s,the extensive research into training needs led to the formulation of internationally recognised syllabi for 'Bharata Natyam' and 'Khatak' dance utilised at the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing,London,the world's leading dance examinations board. During this period,the Academy organised several residencies,intensives and masterclasses. These workshops were theoretical lectures combined with practical dance sessions presented by visiting South Asian dance professionals from all over the world. The demo-lectures took place at the Commonwealth Institute as well as in other locations such as the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Centre,The Place,(home to the Contemporary Dance Trust,also known as the London Contemporary Dance School) in London,community centres in Oxford,Cambridge and other centres around the UK. In addition,four major classical Indian dance-drama productions toured the UK,which included 'The Adventures of Mowgli' in 1984 and 'The Return of Spring' in 1986-87.
Also during this period the leadership of the academy underwent several changes. Directors of the organisation have included Bharati Kansara and John Chapman,who held joint directorships from 1983 to 1985. Pushkala Gopal and Naseem Khan,who was also a founding member of the academy,held the shared post from 1985 to 1987 and the present Director,Mira Kaushik,was appointed in 1988. Under Kaushik's guidance,the organisation that was to become 'Akademi' was placed on a new,contemporary footing.
As such,1988 to the early 1990s was a period of consolidation for the academy. The organisation's staff,new personnel,external consultants and dance professionals concentrated their efforts in financially and strategically strengthening the organisation. This was executed through establishing partnerships with other arts and dance organisations to enable the academy's own programmes to make the transition from local,community level projects to a more mainstream,London-focussed and professional level. This strategic approach facilitated the organisation in placing South Asian dance on the London cultural map. The new policy proved successful and the mid 1990s witnessed the growth of the academy of Indian dance into a well-known,fully fledged dance development organisation.
The academy's new direction included moving away from regular teaching and productions featuring pure classical dance dramas to a relatively new concept of hybrid movement: uniting dance movements from all over South Asia and the western world,fused with diverse musical influences. With this new agenda,an increasing number of professional dancers joined the organisation and the academy established several departments focussing on educational and community programmes; dance training; professional productions; and information,through the development of a South Asian dance resource centre.
A new road map was established for the organisation's outreach and education programme. The academy began taking South Asian dance to people,instead of existing solely as a resource for people to come to. Through the efforts of its education officers,the organisation introduced theme-based projects linked to the English National Curriculum which dealt with contemporary issues such as racism,bullying,sexual health and drugs awareness in secondary schools. Workshops were also designed for the primary school circuit,community centres,local boroughs,prisons and senior citizens homes.
Following a self-evaluation carried out by the organisation in 1997-98,The Academy of Indian Dance changed its name to 'Akademi: South Asian Dance'. It was perceived that the old name created a deception of grandeur,untrue to the realities of a small struggling charity. In addition,in the mid 1990s,Akademi was working with a large number of educational establishments and local boroughs in areas of London that were ethnically diverse. The organisation decided that the word 'Indian' was too limiting a term to encompass the various communities they were working with. Also,in taking dance to the people,Akademi were creating a freer dance language by including bhangra,western contemporary dance styles,and bollywood style dancing in their repertoire. In aspiring to reflect the diverse artistic styles of British Asians living in London,the organisation changed their use of the term 'Indian Dance' to 'South Asian Dance'.
The name change also paved the way to a new era in the organisation's work. Currently,Akademi is committed to creating a UK-based and trained South Asian dance profession. It supports dance artistes,teachers and a number of training initiatives and runs regular intensive courses,seminars,master classes,conferences and consultations on classical and contemporary artistic issues. It has expanded its education dance workshops to adults and children in hospitals and senior citizen groups. Akademi also acts as a centre for dance career advice for dancers who wish to pursue South Asian dance at a professional level.
More recently,several symposiums,workshops and large scale productions have taken place to ensure South Asian dance in Britain continuously evolves and that it is cultivated and promoted within British culture.
In 1999,Akademi staged 'Improvis-Asians '99' at the South Bank Centre,London,where world-renowned choreographers held dance workshops for South Asian artistes. Then in August 2000,in celebration of Akademi's 21st birthday,'Coming of Age' was produced. This outdoor production featured over seventy Indian dancers and was symbolic of the years Akademi had invested in raising awareness of South Asian dance and working for its increased accessibility in British culture. In March 2002,Akademi presented a symposium entitled 'South Asian Aesthetics Unwrapped' which brought together a wide range of arts professionals to explore concepts of nationality and culture and question what constitutes South Asian aesthetics.
In August 2003,Akademi staged its second large-scale outdoor dance production entitled 'Escapade',where London is seen through South Asian eyes. The event comprised film,music,bhangra,hip-hop,Bollywood rhythms,western and classical dance styles and visual effects.
Akademi is currently funded by the Association of London Government,London Borough of Camden,Sony Entertainment Television Asia,The Paul Hamlyn Foundation,The European Union and Arts Council England.

1) Pi is one of the coolest (and most used) mathematical constants there is. It first arrived in written word on 1900-1600BC Babylonian clay tablets, where pi was estimated to be 23/8≈3.1250.
Pi(π) is defined as the ratio of a circles circumference C to its diameter d. This means that no matter the size of the circle the ratio will never change. However, this definition is only valid in 2-dimensional Euclidean geometry. A second definition was created to describe pi in a more universal manner, pi is twice the smallest positive x for which cos(x)=0.
Pi is an irrational number, meaning it can never be written as the ratio of two integers. The most commonly known fractional equivalent of pi, 22/7, is only accurate to two decimal places of the actual pi value. Since pi is irrational, it has an infinite number of digits in its decimal state, and will never end in a repeating pattern of numbers.
Pi is a transcendental number. Pi as a number is not algebraic, it cannot be the root of a non-zero polynomial equation with rational coefficients.
The digits of pi actually pass statistical randomness tests, there is no pattern whatsoever.
2) Geeks and nerds the world around have iconized this mathematical symbol to the point of cultdom. Pi has been immortalized on t-shirts, jewelry, through parades, secret handshakes, inside jokes, Google doodles, college pep rally chants, and memorization competitions.
There are likely as many versions of geeky pi t-shirts as there are digits in pi itself (see caption above).
Did you know that San Francisco holds a Pi Day parade every March the 14th? This parade will have 500 digits... I mean people marching down the Embarcadero to the Pi Shrine. The Pi Shrine is a one foot diameter gold plate engraved with the first 108 digits of pi.
When you are out and about on Pi Day, give someone a "High Pi" instead of a high five. It's similar to a high five, but uses only three fingers instead of five.
If you ever attended or dream of attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), you will likely learn cheers that are a bit different from those that other schools learn.
E to the U - from the MIT Cheerleading Book
I'm a Beaver, you're a Beaver, we are Beavers all.

3) You are encouraged to eat pi in all of its forms: fruit pie, meat pie, pizza pie, creme pie, egg pie.... you get the idea, Eat PIE! There is a pie for everyone!
Bonus) Poetry! There are poets who have coined an entirely new form of poetry in the for of pi-related haiku called pi-ku. However my favorite will always be the pi limericks, I'll leave you with one, but add your own pi poetry to the comments!

It's been around forever - it's not new

I used brushes and painting knives on this oil painting. It is entitled "Crane Pond Waterfall" and my perspective is viewing the falls through the overgrowth of trees and brush on the shore. It was very difficult to get an unobstructed view because of the trees and the deep ledge to the water. I used the knives on the leaves in the foreground.

|Hey! Is "commercialization" really a word? And does
the illustration have boobs?
I was so struck by a magazine titled simply "BONEZONE" that I asked some friends what the word made them think of. To no one's surprise, a medical journal wasn't one of them. But I did get some good answers, including:
"A hook-up bar."
"Dr. Grumpy's college bachelor pad."
"The new programming package on ESPN3, offering round-the-clock live coverage of professional athletes' orthopedic surgeries."
"The drug company lab where they tested Viagra."
"An ultra-cool artisanal arthroscopy suite."
Feel free to throw out your own ideas, and keep the ball rolling.
Thank you, Alysia!

As home to dozens of highly specialized air-and-sea operations and the command post for tens of thousands of U.S. forces across the globe, Florida will play a crucial role in any military retaliation for the Sept. 11 attacks blamed on Osama bin Laden, military officials and analysts say.
Because of its strategically valuable location, including vast stretches of open territory ideal for military pilots, the Sunshine State -- and North Florida in particular -- has long been the staging ground for many Air Force operations. But with defense and intelligence forces gearing up, Florida's command posts, air reconnaissance and naval operations are critical early players in the war on terrorism.
"The units that Florida has are absolutely at the center of the strategy and planning for what's going to happen," said an analyst at the Pentagon who asked not to be identified. "And operationally, the bases there are really, really involved."
With a tight lid of secrecy on planning, Defense Department officials have sent more than 45,000 troops to the Middle East and put at least three aircraft carrier battle groups in place as military and diplomatic efforts continue.
As a result, at Florida's two dozen military installations, including eight major bases, thousands of men and women in uniform are now absorbed in the massive deployment -- in some cases at the highest and most secretive levels of war planning.
From Pensacola, the so-called "cradle of naval aviation" where all Navy pilots are trained, to Tampa, where the shadowy world of Special Operations commandos is controlled, to the shipyards of Jacksonville and the air strips of Miami, Florida offers a foreboding military presence. But the major reason Florida is militarily important now is because the nerve center of the war is MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, headquarters for Central Command, or Centcom in military jargon.
Yet part of the job of Florida-based military personnel is protecting America. The 25-ship USS John F. Kennedy Aircraft Carrier Battle Group, based at Mayport Naval Station near Jacksonville, is off the Atlantic Coast of the United States, providing air protection for New York, Washington and other major U.S. cities and commercial aircraft. Thousands of Floridians are involved in that mission alone, according to members of Congress aware of the Kennedy's assignment, which the Pentagon will not confirm.
The Air Force's command post for protecting U.S. skies is at Tyndall Air Force Base near Panama City in the Panhandle. Much of the Eastern Seaboard is protected by a unit of 18 F-15 Eagles with the 125th Fighter Wing from Jacksonville, which keeps at least six of those planes on "strip alert" -- ready to be in the air within five minutes -- at Homestead in Miami-Dade County.
"We're on a peninsula, and we are a gateway into this country. Given the political climate, Florida is a critical state," said John Myatt, a spokesman for the Florida Department of Military Affairs. "We have a very large role in homeland security."
Three of the U.S. military's nine commanders in chief, who answer only to the secretary of defense and the president, are based in Florida. Among them is the head of Southern Command in Miami, which oversees all military operations in Central and South America.
A huge collection of analysts and commanders is stationed at MacDill. There, under the highest levels of security, they monitor all political events and control all U.S. military action in a 25-nation swath that includes Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf states.
The Central Command is headed by Army Gen. Tommy R. Franks, who holds the same position and uses the same office that Army Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf did in the Persian Gulf War. Considered a long and forceful proponent of conventional weaponry, Franks is ensconced in an unconventional war of terrorism. He is an artillery and cavalry officer who has three Purple Hearts, having served in Germany during the Cold War, Korea, Vietnam and the Gulf War.
The headquarters staff numbers 900, but they oversee the work of 17,000 to 25,000 people. While ultimate responsibility for any military action lies with the White House and the Pentagon, Centcom is at the forefront of planning and strategy.
"We're planning for any real and any range of contingencies," said Col. Rick Thomas, a spokesman for the command. "We're a unified command headquarters for Army, Navy and Air Force. So, yes, there are analysts. But there's all sorts of people -- planners, intelligence, lawyers, chaplains, surgeons and cartographers."
A Special Operations unit, which includes Navy SEALs and other units involved in clandestine operations, is also based at MacDill. But in living up to its stealthy Hollywood image, the command is veiled in secrecy and heavy security.
"I can only give you limited information, but we have 46,000 people around the world," said a command spokeswoman who refused to give her name or provide a biography of her commander, Air Force Gen. Charles Holland. "Even the most mundane thing can be used against our forces. We just like to keep it quiet."
Florida's Panhandle is a rich territory for Air Force operations. The Jacksonville area is home to Mayport and a Naval Air Station; about one-fifth of all residents have ties to the Navy. North Florida, especially, offers a number of military hot spots.
Besides hosting a fighter wing, Eglin Air Force Base is home to a command that develops specialized weapons. In the Gulf War, the group developed "bunker-buster" bombs that were used to cause deep underground damage in Iraq.
"They have the ability, on short turnaround, to develop special weapons for special targets," said a military analyst who works for Congress. "Maybe they'll have cave busters this time."
Hurlburt Field near Eglin hosts the Air Force Special Operations command, which flies special equipment meant for the most challenging flying conditions, often the aircraft that drop Navy SEALS and Army Rangers into the field.
At Jacksonville Naval Air Station, a huge P-3 squadron is on maritime patrol, flying 10- to 14-hour shifts hunting for everything from submarines to wayward aircraft. There, too, is a naval aviation depot with 5,500 civilian employees who repair almost every type of Navy plane, including F-14 Tomcats, EA6B's and F-18s.
With so much involvement from Florida, public officials and military experts agree that Florida could feel the impact of any U.S. military action -- including casualties -- more than most states.
"It's more important than ever that we, as Floridians, support these people in the service, because almost everybody in Florida knows someone whose life is being affected," said U.S. Rep. Jim Davis, D-Tampa. "This is a massive military operation that has Florida written all over it."

Reddick, Cespedes go deep to topple Mariners
OAKLAND -- Josh Reddick has a message for anyone who suggested he shave off his beard after going hitless in his first 10 at-bats:
"Forget it, it ain't going to happen."
Reddick backed his rhetoric with a home run, double and four RBIs Thursday, as the Athletics beat the Seattle Mariners, 8-2, to force a series split.
"People get too superstitious," Reddick said. "It's four games into the season. It's not like I'm going 0-fer. Besides, it's my face. I can do what I want with it."
He's not the only one who can stand behind his words. Yoenis Cespedes also hit a home run, his second of the season, and Jed Lowrie added two more doubles to his total in support of A.J. Griffin.
Griffin allowed two runs on seven hits over six innings to gain the victory. He walked two and struck out three.
"It was good to get back out there for that kind of competition and contribute to a victory," Griffin said. "When you get the lead, you want to throw strikes and get ahead of guys."
John Jaso and Nate Freiman each drove in a run for the A's, who are heading to Houston for a series beginning Friday with the newest member of the American League West.
Coco Crisp singled and doubled for the A's, who have 16 extra-base hits among their 27 total (59 percent) for the season.
Michael Morse hit his fourth home run in as many games and Michael Saunders drove in a run for the Mariners.
"Hopefully we can figure out a way to get that guy," Griffin said of Morse. "He's such a good, disciplined hitter. He gets to balls some guys can't reach."
Overall, A's manager Bob Melvin was happy with the way Griffin pitched.
"He was good when he needed to be," Melvin said. "He got big outs."
Griffin has won all three of his starts against Seattle and is undefeated (4-0, 2.14) in six starts against AL West competition.
As for Reddick, getting his first hit and RBI was a good sign.
"It's good to get the first one out of the way," he said. "I'm not going up there trying to do too much. It was a good hitting day for us. Their guy threw a lot of strikes and we knew we had to go up swinging the bat."
Brandon Maurer made his Major League debut, giving up six runs on eight hits in six innings.
"We have nothing going for us, no way to know what he liked to throw in certain counts," Reddick said. "We went up there to see what he had and then reacted to his pitches."
Crisp singled ahead of Reddick's home run in the first inning.
Reddick followed Lowrie's double in the sixth with another double. Cespedes followed with his home run. Reddick and Frieman each added a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
A's first baseman Brandon Moss was replaced by Frieman so he could be with his wife for the delivery of their child.
Will Moss join the team in Houston?
"I hope not," Melvin said.
Cespedes has eight home runs and 18 RBIs in 23 career games against the Mariners, his most against any team.
Chris Young recorded the 199th double of his career in the fifth.

Additionally, reputation comments should be treated as private, and therefore comments left should not be discussed on the board.
No dual accounts - Each member is allowed one registered account. Anyone found abusing this will have all accounts banned. You can not re-register on the board just because you are banned, even if only temporarily.
Report Post System - There is an "exclamation point" icon above each and every post. If you feel a post is breaking the rules, or that staff should be aware of a particular post, click on this icon and report it. This will email every member of staff, as well as create a new thread about the post in our administration forum. Each reported post will be looked into. Action will be taken if necessary, and reporting party will be notified of the outcome. This is not a method of playing "tattle tale". Please only report posts that you feel break the written rules, or are detrimental to the continuation of the forums.
Formatting of Posts - we don't mind if on occasion a member makes portions of their posts in larger letters, or bold, or changing the color, but we don't want this to be a consistent change of the default text. Members cannot make every single post in a different color than default, which is black. Nor can members make every post bold, or in different sizes. The board has default text formatting and this should be respected, as it makes it easier for everyone to read posts and threads. Staff reserves the right to change the formatting on posts back to default if it gets out of hand, and we will ask members to refrain from doing so going forward. This is simply to make the board easy to read for the entire community in mind.
Profile Messages - When viewing another profile, when you click on "Send a message", there are now 2 options available: a) "Post a visitor message" and b) Send a private message. Being that the visitor messages are posted publicly on the users profile, all board rules pertain to these messages. Harassment via someone's profile will not be tolerated.
Personal Feuds - No surprisingly, members can sometimes get involved in personal feuds. We ask that these be kept off the boards. Please don't derail threads by going "after" someone you don't like. Don't start threads just to rile someone up. Don't harass other members. Please PM staff if you need assistance.
Flaming - While in heated debates, we understand that it can become emotional and sometimes we let that get the better of us. The board will tolerate such outbursts to a degree. So long as it doesn't get out of hand, and become a habitual occurrence, it will be tolerated. If this is abused, the member will be issued a warning via PM and asked to refrain from further abuse. Sarcastic comments are not considered flaming. Not discussing the subject and attacking the poster in a nasty manner would be. We're all adults here, so let's again allow common sense to prevail here. There will be no flaming of another members family, whether directly or indirectly. This applies to all sections of the board, private messages and reputation comments. If the family member is not here to defend themselves, then they should not be attacked in any manner. Even if a member discusses their own family, they remain off limits.
Steel Cage - There is a forum towards the bottom of the board labeled "Steel Cage". For the most part this is an unmoderated forum. If you want to call out another member, it goes in here. If you're debating with someone and feel the need to take the level of discourse below what some would call acceptable, post it in here. Basically, if you want to "fight" or "flame" - it goes in here. Privacy restrictions and discussion about staff and/or decisions still won't be tolerated in here, but the rest is free game. There will be no discussion of the cage in other forums, as some members might wish to completely avoid this atmosphere. Debate and discussion go in the regular forums and trash talk goes in the steel cage. While we may end up moving a thread here from time to time, I am asking members to refrain from the vulgarity and calling out of other members throughout the board. You have an opportunity to post as you wish within this forum, so please don't litter anywhere else on the board. We WILL take action if any member chooses to ignore this option and starts to degrade the regular forums.
Board Policy and Decisions - Any questions, concerns or complaints about board policy or decisions should be handled via the private message system. You may contact any staff member directly and voice your concerns. Airing "dirty laundry" is not good for the forum, or any forum for that fact. We don't have a forum called "complaints", which means it shouldn't be aired publicly. I'm very lenient when it comes to the rules and implementing them. I bend a lot based on member feedback and set the rules accordingly. My stance on this issue is very firm though, and it will be dealt with each and every time. We have the PM system and reporting system for these instances. Take the time to voice your complaints or concerns privately and we will be happy to discuss with you. Post it on the forums and receive a 24hr ban.
Board Discipline - From time to time it is necessary to remove people from participation on the forums. Most of the time this is just temporary. Consider it a "time out" period where the member can cool off and hopefully return in a better frame of mind. These will be issued when a member receives a warning about their actions, and continues to act inappropriately as per the rules. Permanent bans are very rare, and reserved for those joining just to spam the forums, or if a member goes off the deep end and only returns here to start trouble. Again, these decisions will not be discussed on the forums, not by the banned member and not by other members.
Racism - Unfortunately this needs to be addressed. We won't stop folks from using racist words here, we are all adults. But we aren't going allow words to be used to turn us into a racist board. There is a big difference between using a handful of words once, or within the context of a particular story. But to post all the time using such words in an insulting manner, in a trolling manner, won't be tolerated. We're all adult enough to know when enough is enough.
Photos - from time to time we post photos that are on the edge of being appropriate here. No nudity of course. But sometimes there are photos posted of dead people. This is generally within stories about terrorism. While it is always frowned upon, we try to allow such photos within the context of a story. But to post the photos just to share photos of dead people? Too gross and disgusting for a "family" oriented political site.

A few weeks ago I was traveling thru southern California and stopped at the Levis store in Malibu. I would admit as much as I love bikes and riding dusty trails in southern Utah, I love denim just as much. Not just any denim, but denim that's made one pair at a time with the care and love that goes into anything good.
While there I gawked at every pair of vintage denim they had…ahhhh the sweet history of the American legend! My dear wife and beloved business partner would probably have had me sleeping on the couch for weeks when I came home if I bought a few pairs, so I refrained, but I did see a pair of selvage chino's that I put on my Christmas list!
After talking to the manager for a few hours and he gave me the complete history of the vintage line, he handed me a small bottle of this soap. I gave him that weird look that men give men when handed soap. I have to be honest, no man has ever handed me soap! It was a bit weird and I quickly left, but not without my notes for what I was putting on my Christmas list!
Its been a few weeks since I've had the soap in hand and I'm going to admit, it's the greatest stuff I've ever used. Its total 'man'. Smells like a man should smell, the outside, the woods, the trees, the perma-smell from a wind scorched face, flannel, the mountain air…need I go on?
here is the link to Juniper Ridge…you should buy some…yes its all that in a bottle of soap.

NEXTERION® Slide E
NNEXTERION® Slide E is the market leading epoxy coated slide from SCHOTT. The slides are manufactured from high quality borosilicate glass that has an ultra flat surface and low inherent fluorescence. The glass is coated with a multi-purpose epoxysilane layer that will covalently bind most types of bio-molecules including amino- and non-modified DNA, RNA, and proteins. The defect-free surface features a uniform epoxysilane layer that provides a high covalent coupling efficiency together with a very low background. The slides are easy to use, and are fully compatible with all commercially available arraying and scanning instruments.
Key product features
• Covalent and directed binding of DNA and proteins
• Multi-purpose microarray slide coating
• Hydrophobic coating enables the spotting of high-density arrays
• Stability of the epoxy chemistry supports long print runs
Typical applications
• Transcriptional profiling
• MicroRNA
• Array-CGH
• SNP detection
• ZIP-code universal microarray
• Pathogen identification
• Subtelomere arrays
• Functional protein arrays
• Protein profiling arrays
Suitable probe types
• Amino-modified oligonucleotides 20 – 70 mers
• Unmodified oligonucleotides 20 – 70 mers
• Amino-modified PCR products
• ZIP-code oligonucleotides
• PCR products
• BAC/PACs
• cDNA
• Serum samples
• Antibodies
• Peptides
• Glycans
Immobilization chemistry
The diagram shows a schematic representation of an amino-modified DNA molecule coupling to NEXTERION® Slide E. Amino-modified nucleic acids bind via the terminal amino group, as well as via exocyclic amino groups of the bases, and hydroxyl groups of the sugar-phosphate backbone. Unmodified nucleic acids will bind to an epoxysilane surface with almost the same efficiency via the exocyclic amino groups of the bases, and hydroxyl groups of the backbone. Other bio-molecules such as proteins bind via their exposed amine-, thiol- and hydroxyl-groups. The reaction with the epoxy group is rapid and irreversible and no additional baking or UV cross-linking steps are required. Any unreacted epoxy group may be chemically deactivated after printing to significantly reduce nonspecific binding of the target molecules to the slide surface. Molecular spacers between the glass slide and the epoxy groups facilitate interactions between the printed bio-molecules and their binding partners in solution.

Election 2012 Post Mortem: White Evangelicals and Support for Romney
Leading up to the election, there was speculation about how strongly white evangelical Protestants would support a Mormon candidate. According to a new Pew Research Center analysis of exit poll data, white evangelicals voted for Mitt Romney with as much enthusiasm as his other supporters did.
How the Faithful Voted: 2012 Preliminary Analysis
Obama's margin of victory in the 2012 popular vote was smaller than in 2008. But the religious contours of the electorate were similar to recent elections – traditionally Republican groups such as white evangelicals and weekly churchgoers strongly backed Romney, while traditionally Democratic groups such as black Protestants, Hispanic Catholics, Jews and the religiously unaffiliated backed Obama by large margins.
Trends in Voter Preferences Among Religious Groups
This interactive graphic summarizes the voting preferences of major religious groups, drawing on data from the latest survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press among registered voters reached on landlines and cell phones.
Latinos, Religion and Campaign 2012
A recent survey finds Latino Catholic voters strongly favor Obama, while Latino evangelical Protestants are more closely divided in their support for Obama and Romney. The survey also finds rising support for same-sex marriage among Latinos.
The Catholic "Swing" Vote
Catholics are often identified as a major "swing" voting group in American politics. A new analysis shows that the only group of Catholics that has been divided in recent elections is white Catholics who identify as political moderates.
Voters in Four States to Address Same-Sex Marriage in November
Keeping track of the legal status of same-sex marriage across the country can be difficult. As voters in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington state prepare to address the issue in November, this map illustrates the situation in all 50 states.
Mormonism in the 2012 Election
A new slideshow highlights recent Pew Research Center data on voters' views of the Mormon religion and Mormons' opinions on their place in society.
Candidate Preference by Religious Group, Late July Update
A new Pew Research Center poll finds that more voters say they have an unfavorable than favorable view of Mitt Romney. Barack Obama's image remains, by comparison, more positive.
Little Voter Discomfort with Romney's Mormon Religion
A new Pew Research Center poll finds that voters have limited awareness of Mitt Romney's Mormon faith and Barack Obama's religion. And there is little evidence to suggest that concerns about the candidates' respective faiths will have a meaningful impact in the 2012 fall elections.
Candidate Preference by Religious Group, July Update
Polling conducted in late June and early July by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press finds that despite the stagnant economy and broad dissatisfaction with national conditions, Barack Obama holds a significant lead over Mitt Romney.

The deal flow continued Tuesday at Sundance, led by Sony Pictures Classics' nearly $3 million pickup of "An Education," even as the fest took a dramatic pause during President Barack Obama's inauguration.
Also in the wee hours, Fox Searchlight wrapped up a world rights purchase, pegged in the low seven figures, of competition romancer "Adam." And Lionsgate nabbed U.S. and U.K. rights to Sam Rockwell comedy "The Winning Season."
While several fest regulars insisted that this year was shaping up to be business as usual, the day's events attested to a more reflective mood due to Obama, the economy and the fest's 25th anni, among other things. The weather has also been more consistently stunning than any vets can recall — about 45 degrees and sunny every day.
Obama's swearing-in, shown at viewing parties across town, trumped anything on the bigger screens at Sundance. Many people rose early to watch the moment they had awaited or worked toward for up to two years.
At the fest's official inauguration viewing fete at Zoom, co-hosted by the Service Employees Intl. Union and Overture Films, Sundance Institute's Michelle Satter and IFP's Michelle Byrd noted that no prior inaugural had made much of an impression on festgoers. "I think we just didn't care about it," Satter said. "But this is different."
A crowd including top Overture execs, Sundance programmer Trevor Groth, thesp Sarah Jones and GreeneStreet head John Penotti alternately cheered and wiped away tears. One guest wore a T-shirt styled after the "Vote for Pedro" shirts in 2004 Sundance smash "Napoleon Dynamite" that read "Vote for Obama."
At Jeff Dowd's breakfast at the Spur on Main Street, indie mainstays such as producers Jonathan Dana, Sam Kitt, Ron Yerxa, Albert Berger and Robbie Little filled the room. The mood was joyful and respectful as the crowd of about 75 watched the inaugural ceremony on a bigscreen as well as various smaller screens around the bar.
The party was also held in honor of eco docu "Dirt," which Dowd, in true form, enthusiastically tubthumped. After the ceremony, Dowd reminded attendees of the "power in this room" and encouraged everyone to continue to use it.
As they were contemplating the dawn of the Obama era, filmmakers were also continuing to assess how the business has evolved in the 25 years since the festival began. At a panel Tuesday, Steven Soderbergh, whose "Sex, Lies and Videotape" sounded the first shot in the modern Sundance acquisition wars in 1989, said "indie" is a problematic word.
"Since 1975, Steven Spielberg has had enough money to do whatever he wants," he said. "That's independent."
Fellow panelist Tom DiCillo, whose credits include shooting indie landmark "Stranger Than Paradise" and directing "Living in Oblivion," voiced objections to the current state of affairs.
"Independent film used to be about saying no to the suits," he said. "But it's now become exactly the opposite. When you put Hollywood and independent film together, they cancel each other out."
Soderbergh said the economy "means the hoops you have to jump through to make a $2 million movie are unbelievable." Casting, in particular, has changed plenty in 25 years. "Jarmusch, Wayne Wang, early David Lynch — there weren't names in those films," he said. "It's really hard to do that now."
Speaking of new names emerging, the biggest of the fest is Carey Mulligan, a young British stage actress who has key roles in "The Greatest" and "An Education."
Latter pic went to SPC for North America and Latin America, closing Monday night after a heated bidding war.
After the first screening Sunday, Fox Searchlight tried to grab the film with a preemptive bid, but the offer in the $1 million-$2 million range was deemed too low by seller CAA and Endgame Entertainment, which financed with BBC Films the $12 million, 1960s-set romance.
Written by Nick Hornby from a memoir by Lynn Barber, "An Education" stars Mulligan as a 16-year-old British schoolgirl who falls hard for a charming older man played by Peter Sarsgaard. Dominic Cooper and Alfred Molina also star.
Searchlight came back into the negotiations in a second round Monday but was unable to close. Instead, on Monday night, the company acquired "Adam," starring Rose Byrne and Hugh Dancy. Also bidding on "An Education" were the Weinstein Co., Focus Features, Lionsgate and Overture.
SPC, which closed recent deals out of the Toronto Film Festival with Endgame CEO Jim Stern on "Easy Virtue" and his "A Chorus Line" documentary "Every Little Step," will launch the film in the fall with an eye on an awards campaign.
Sundance buyers are also circling Shana Feste's drama "The Greatest," starring Pierce Brosnan and Susan Sarandon; Bobcat Goldthwait's "World's Greatest Dad," starring Robin Williams; and producer-star Ashton Kutcher's "Spread." CAA had hoped to close a deal before fest's end on "The September Issue," the popular documentary about Vogue's Anna Wintour in which several distribs are interested, including Senator Entertainment. Senator started off the fest with its acquisition of Antoine Fuqua's "Brooklyn's Finest."
International rights, a key financial ingredient for most indie or specialty pics, also sold for a few titles at Sundance.
"Lymelife," which Screen Media bought in the fall after its Toronto preem, sold internationally to Cinemavault. Paris-based sales company Elle Driver bought international on competition drama "Arlen Faber."

The protection of the right to privacy and personal data – as set out in article 7 and 8 of the EU Charter on Fundamental Rights – are of great importance to the European External Action Service (EEAS) as a European public administration.
Privacy and data protection have become increasingly important in our daily life, both in private and at work. The rights to privacy and data protection have long been recognised as fundamental rights, and a new regulation Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 applies also to the EEAS when processing personal data. The revised legal framework intends to guarantee a high level of data protection when it comes to collecting and storing personal data for the benefit of EU institutions staff, Union citizens and of our partners in the world. Only 6 months after the entry into force of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which applies to Member States authorities, NGOs and the private sector, the new legislative act is harmonised with the principles of the GDPR.
To meet its obligations to citizens, the EEAS frequently needs to collect, process and retain personal data, such as names, functions, office addresses, phone numbers, photos or other data, including specific information in relation to individuals in the context of any EEAS activity, including Security, Defence and Crisis response, Public diplomacy, Development cooperation, as well as HR management, IT applications, procurements, conference, meeting and event organisation, budget or other administrative procedures.
Personal data is information relating to you only, which makes you identifiable – your name, photo, phone number, birth date, e-mail address, ID number, and many other personal details.
Your personal data is processed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 and Decision No 1247/2002/EC as of 11 December 2018, aligned with provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation /Reg. (EU) 2016/679/. The EEAS aims at implementing data protection fully in line with the standards set out in the new legal framework using flexible privacy friendly tools with appropriate safeguards.
These rules provide a framework and ensure that your data are:
Each directorate, division and service within the EEAS and all EU Delegations are required to collect, handle and keep data identifying individuals according to the data protection provisions laid down in the data protection legal framework. The EEAS Data Protection Office is consulted when activities involve such data collection, transmission, transfer or storage. All data of a personal nature provided to the EEAS - namely data which can identify a person directly or indirectly - will be handled with the necessary care.
The EEAS respects these principles for personal data processing set out in the Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, as well as the Regulation EU 2016/679, the General Data Protection Regulation (also known abbreviated as 'the GDPR') that is applicable for EU Member State public authorities, private sector enterprises and NGOs with an impact on any organisation which processes personal data of individuals who are in the Union:Fairness and Transparency: processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent way
The GDPR harmonises data protection requirements across all EU Member States, introducing new rights for data subjects, which apply extraterritorially to any organisation controlling and processing data on natural persons in the European Union.
For more information on the GDPR:

You may lodge a complaint at any time with the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) who acts as an independent supervisory authority for all the EU devoted to protecting personal data and privacy and promoting good practice in the EU institutions and bodies on the basis of EU Decision 1247/2002/EC on the regulations and general conditions governing the performance of the European Data Protection Supervisor's duties.
The EDPS:
The EEAS's Data Protection Register records personal data processing activities in the EEAS.
The Register contains basic information about each record of personal data processing, similarly to the information included in the Privacy Statement:
To be able to comply with the provisions of new data protection regulation, the EEAS Register goes through a migration process. If you look for a specific processing activity, you may also contact the EEAS DPO.
Processing operations that have been prior-checked by the European Data Protection Supervisor under Article 27 of the former data protection Regulation (EC) 45/2001 are included in the register held by the EDPS.
The purpose of the EEAS Data Protection Register and the EDPS Register is to inform the public about the existence of personal data processing operations. All persons concerned may exercise their rights as recognised by the Regulation on the basis of the information contained in the Register and in Data Protection Notices, also known as Privacy Statements.
The Register is based on the records submitted by data controllers along with the relevant Privacy Statements and is therefore available only in the language of the notification, generally in English.

The Cost of 'Perverted' Preaching by Lynne Hybels
Lynne Hybels is a peace activist/advocate for global engagement at Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois. She is the author of Nice Girls Don't Change the World and helped produce Hope and Action, a DVD and participant guide that introduces churches and small groups to first steps in addressing the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Lynne and her husband, Bill, have two adult children and two grandchildren.
THE DEATH OF a college student who had been gang-raped in Delhi provoked outrage and anger. More than 2 million Indian students joined a movement to protest the rising violence against women in India. According to official data, reported cases of rape have more than doubled in the past 20 years, and women are the victims of a high proportion of other violent crimes.
But there's another side to this story. "Almost as shocking as the Delhi gang rape has been the range of voices that have sounded after it," wrote Sagarika Ghose, a TV journalist and commentator. "Patriarchy is chillingly omnipresent." Rather than blaming those who attack women, leaders in some Indian villages blame Westernization, liberal consumerism, growing individualism, or even the women themselves—because they wear "skimpy clothes," talk on mobile phones, and work outside the home, according to South Africa's Mail & Guardian newspaper.
For 19-year-old Kanika Sharma, these leaders miss the point. "It is all about the mentality of the boys," Sharma told the Mail & Guardian. "They think because they are men, they can do anything. But girls should get equal rights and opportunities." Sharma speaks while standing under a sign that says:Being a woman should not make you feel vulnerable. But sadly, throughout the world women do feel vulnerable.
Before I traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)—described as the "rape capital" of the world—I studied reports on rape as a weapon of war. In the DRC rebel soldiers have brutally raped thousands of women. They know that if they rape enough women and girls, they can destroy the social fabric of an entire community.
But in the DRC I discovered something worse than rape as a weapon of war. I discovered an underlying culture of rape in which violating women sexually has become normalized, accepted. In this extremely patriarchal society, boys are taught that being a man means dominating women. Rapists are congratulated on being "man enough" to "take a woman."
Congolese surgeon Monique Kapamba Yangoy explained that the DRC has laws prohibiting men from having sex with girls under 18, but they're not enforced. It is not uncommon for girls as young as fifth grade to ensure "success" in school by having sex with their teachers. University students who demand that their professors wear condoms when they have sex with them tend to get lower grades than girls who don't demand condoms. Women are often asked to have sex with potential employers before they can get a job.
Perhaps the deepest problem, suggests Dr. Yangoy, is that women in such cultures are conditioned to believe they truly are of little value. So they lose the will to fight back, to stand up for themselves, to expect just and loving treatment.
In the DRC, as in many countries, churches have often reinforced this perspective by preaching a perverted message of female submission. Women are to submit, period. No one mentions that men are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church—even to the point of giving his life for his beloved. No one mentions the concept of mutual submission.
But in the DRC that is beginning to change. One reason I work with World Relief Congo is that it actively works toward the slow but sustainable transformation of cultural attitudes toward gender and sex. I sat with Congolese church leaders as Dr. Yangoy challenged them as a woman, a doctor, and a Christian to use their positions of power to protect and empower women and girls.
Recently, at a gathering of women leaders from around the world, I joined women from many faiths in denouncing the actions of those who wrongly use our sacred texts and belief systems to degrade women. Together we agreed to give our voices, our money, and our time to the people, organizations, and cultural movements that honor rather than degrade women. Please join me—for the sake of every woman in India, in the DRC, and in your community and mine.

Excellent! God works powerfully through the faith and courage of women (and children) which is why the enemy targets them with such horrific schemes as described above. Let's work together with these fine organizations and let's also us bring justice, healing, protection and peace with the the weapon of intercession in Jesus name.ReplyDelete

Demi Moore Hospitalized, Seeking 'Professional Assistance'
Demi Moore is seeking professional assistance after being rushed to the hospital on Monday night (January 23).
Paramedics responded to the 49-year-old actress's home in L.A. after a 911 call came in at 10:45 p.m. TMZ reports the hospitalization was due to substance abuse.
"Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health," says her rep.
"She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends," the rep added.

Oh, Leanne, Portland misses you!
Although warm, I'm not sure we're up on that. 26 degrees when I walked to the bus this morning. Although it's about 49 now. And believe it or not, that big yellow ball in the sky is visible!
Regardless of where you design and produce it, I'm looking forward to seeing your new line. And I'll drink a cup of Stumptown in your name. (I'd send you some but by the time it arrived it'd be a bit stale...)
Get a camera! Somehow, I mean, you need to take pictures. Even if not for us, your loyal blog readers...

aw, hang in there! i am not from portland (and i don't know you, but i'm a big fan), but there are days when i feel like it is really where i belong. sigh. transition is so hard. . . .
- March 12, 2009 at 8:54 PM
Chin up! I completely sympathize; I grew up in Eugene and after 11 years on the East Coast I still resent the protracted winters out here. I have to say, the longer I'm away the more I appreciate the weather in Oregon--those dry summers! But just you wait, spring in NYC is like the entire world spontaneously having a party.
- March 13, 2009 at 8:20 AM
- Hungarican Chick said...
Yes, Portland does miss you! It has been pretty damned cold here tho, despite the deceivingly sunny sky; but it's still bikeable weather and the Springwater trail is hopping.
Nothing justifies a trip to PDX then a swing by Mill End. :)
Have a nice weekend. Nice to see you posting. Watching for more excellent work!

Awww Leanne, I miss you so much! I can't wait until you visit...and in the meantime I need to plan my trip to NYC! xoxo!

oh leanne! I just read your entry about FIDM buying your whole collection. I didn't even know they did that but you should know that the school is a media whore anyway. They showed your stuff at debut in LA I was wondering why you weren't there. I suppose i know why now.

Hi Leanne,
This is Mariana from Hong Kong. I knew you and am shocked by your poetic, romantic and wearable designs through 'Project Runway'. I do wish I could collect at least one of your art pieces in the future. Keep on!

at least you can always go back to your old way of doing things if you aren't feeling it , hang in there! ;-)

I was just sitting by the Hawthorne bridge looking over the waves and watching the ducks and remembering how you said those waves and waters inspired your PR collection. I happened to sit there during a break in the wind and things seemed amazingly quiet, even though when I looked at the bridge I could see traffic flying in both directions. Still, it was so relaxing and quiet that I swear I could hear the waves speaking... and they were saying, "Hey Leanne... We miss you too..." I used to sit by the water in DUMBO on my lunch break and listen to those waves too. Portland misses you and will always be here when you need it. Keep on rocking in NYC while you are there and know that the force is with you! All the best to you...! Love the February pics of your newest creations!

Hi Leanne,
I love your designs and wish to own a piece of your cute dress. What a pity I dont have a chance to buy them in Hong Kong and all the items on Etsy were sold out
Really love your Evelynne Dress, Adeline Dress, Maya Dress, Claire tunic and Cesare Vest...just love them so much but I dont have a chance to own them and put them on, otherwise I will buy them all!

- Giovanna said...
Hi Leanne! I know exactly what you feel. I'm from Peru and I moved to Los Angeles two years ago to study Fashion Design and I'm still homesick. The first months are always the hardest, but after that you get use to it. Wish you all the best. I'm a fan of your designs, they're just amazing! :)

I just moved to NY from Portland too, and I can't even explain how much I miss it. NY has so much to do, but I still can't walk across the Hawthorne Bridge in the morning, sad.
Also-Your new work looks amazing.
Way to go!

I love it ! Very creative ! That's actually really cool Thanks.

Angiogenesis is the process by which new blood vessels are generated from preexisting vessels. It is vital for proper embryonic development, patterning of the vascular system, and wound healing. It is rate limiting in cancer progression, because the formation of new blood vessels is essential for growth and survival of tumors.
Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine reviews the mechanisms of angiogenesis that operate in normal development and in diseases such as cancer. The contributors review the biology of endothelial cells, describing the specific roles of tip and stalk cells in vessel sprouting and lumen formation. They discuss the key angiogenic regulators (e.g., vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF]), as well as antiangiogenic agents including microRNAs, thrombospondins, and semaphorins. Therapeutic approaches that target pathological angiogenesis, such as the ongoing clinical trials of anti-VEGF drugs, are also covered.
This volume, which includes discussions of other vascular dysfunctions (e.g., arteriovenous malformations) and comparisons between the blood vascular system and the lymphatic system, is a vital reference for developmental and cancer biologists, as well as anyone seeking to understand the biology and pathology of the vascular system.

The video game-music collective OverClock ReMix has released another complete set of reimagined songs, this time for Mega Man 9. (I bet you thought I was going to put a "Goes for Baroque" joke in the title, didn't you? Well... actually, it's not even baroque music, it's more like flamenco, so... yeah.) The full album is titled "Back in Blue."
You might remember I posted a link to that particularly great flute/guitar duet on "Splash Blue" — that track is from this album. The rest of the tunes don't quite have the acoustic charm of the "Splash Blue" performance, but they're still good stuff — it certainly helps that the source material is fantastic. Best of all, the entire album can be downloaded for free!
The trailer above is a bit of a mixtape of everything, but you can find the entire album on the OCR site. Props to Larry Oji and the crew at OverClock Remix for releasing such consistently good stuff.

Establishing Parentage/Paternity
When both unmarried parents sign a Declaration of Paternity, it means they are the legal parents of the child. Signing a Declaration of Paternity is voluntary.
The parents can sign a declaration at the hospital when the child is born. If the parents sign at the hospital, both parents' names will go on the child's birth certificate, and the birth mother does not need to go to court to prove who the other parent of the child is.
The declaration can also be signed later. If the parents sign it after the child's birth certificate has been issued, a new birth certificate can be issued with the other parent's name. Learn how to ask for a new birth certificate with the other parent's name (also available in Spanish).
You can ask for the form to be sent to you by mail by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com, or you can get it at your county's:
- Local child support agency,
- Registrar of births,
- Family law facilitator at your local superior court, or
- Welfare offices.
The Declaration of Paternity MUST be signed at one of these public agencies (unless it has been signed at the hospital) or witnessed by a notary public. Most public agencies that have the declaration forms also have a short video explaining how the voluntary Declaration of Paternity works.
Once the declaration is signed, the form must be filed with the California Department of Child Support Services Paternity Opportunity Program (POP) in order to be effective. A properly signed Declaration of Paternity has the same effect as a court order establishing parentage for the child, without anyone having to go to court.
Forms are available in English and Spanish. Click to see a sample of this form in English and to get more information about voluntary declarations of paternity. Click to see the sample form in Spanish.
After a signed Declaration of Paternity is filed with the court, the judge can make orders for custody, visitation, and support. Click if you signed a voluntary Declaration of Paternity and now want the court to make custody, visitation, or child support orders.
If you filed a Declaration of Paternity and want a copy of it, you can either complete a Request for a Filed Declaration of Paternity (CS 918) or send a letter to:
DCSS — POP Unit
P.O. Box 419070
Rancho Cordova, CA 95741-9070
Learn more about getting a copy of your Declaration of Paternity.
IMPORTANT! Once paternity or parentage is established, it can be difficult or impossible to undo — even if DNA/blood tests later show that the father is not the biological parent of the child.
After parentage is established, each parent has:
- An equal responsibility to support the child, and
- An equal right to custody of the child.
If a parent does not meet the support obligation, the custodial parent, guardian, or local child support agency can ask the court to enforce the support orders. If a parent violates the support orders, the judge can give him or her a fine of up to $1,000 and 5 days in county jail for each violation.
Parentage and related support issues are complicated. Talk to the family law facilitator in your county or your local child support agency for more information. Click for help finding a lawyer.
What does it mean if you sign a Declaration of Paternity?
A correctly completed and signed Declaration of Paternity filed with the Department of Child Support Services will have the same effect as a court order establishing parentage for the child. If your child does not live with you and a court action is filed, you may be ordered by the court to pay child support. A court action must be filed to deal with the issues of custody, visitation, or child support.
When someone signs the Declaration of Paternity, that person is giving up important rights in the process of establishing paternity. If you sign a Declaration of Paternity, you are giving up the right to:
- A trial in court to decide the issue of parentage;
- Paternity (DNA or blood) tests;
- Notice of any hearing on the issue of parentage;
- The opportunity to present your case to the court, including the right to present and cross-examine witnesses; and
- A lawyer to represent you.
If you change your mind after you sign a Declaration of Paternity
If you or the other parent change your mind after signing the Declaration of Paternity, you must complete a Declaration of Paternity Rescission (Form CS 915) to rescind (cancel) the Declaration of Paternity.
You must file the rescission form with the Department of Child Support Services within 60 days from the date you signed the Declaration of Paternity. Only 1 parent needs to sign and file the form, but the other parent must be formally notified by certified mail with return receipt requested.
You can also get Form CS 915 from your county's:
- Local child support agency,
- Registrar of births,
- Family law facilitator at your local superior court, or
- Welfare offices.
Challenging the Declaration of Paternity in court
A Declaration of Paternity may be challenged in court only in the first 2 years after the child's birth:
- By using blood and genetic tests that prove the man is not the biological father; OR
- By either parent proving that he or she signed the form because of fraud or because he or she was forced to sign it.
Click for more information on how to dispute parentage or challenge a Declaration of Paternity in court.
If you have received a Request for Hearing and Application to Set Aside Voluntary Declaration of Paternity (Form FL-280) and you want to agree or disagree, click here for instructions.
Your local child support agency can bring an action to establish the parentage of your child. As part of this action, they will ask for a child support order. This service is free.
Your local child support agency (LCSA) is part of the state Department of Child Support Services (DCSS). Every county has a local child support agency. The local agencies and the department help parents support and provide health insurance for their children.
To begin the process, call the LCSA and ask for an appointment to open a case for parentage and support. You can open a case even when the mother is still pregnant, and a genetic test can be ordered (if the other person denies being the parent) after the child is born.
Either or both parents can ask for the services of the LCSA. Also, when one parent is on welfare for the children (for example, if they receive Cal-Works or Medi-Cal), the LCSA automatically gets involved and opens a case.
The child support section of this Online Self-Help Center has a lot more information on LCSAs and what it means to have them involved in your case.
IMPORTANT: The local child support agency (LCSA) does not represent the parents or the children. The LCSA lawyers are not your lawyers. You are not a legal client, and the information you give the LCSA is not confidential. LCSA lawyers can give certain information about your case to other agencies, the other parent, or the other parent's employer or lawyer.
The law says the LCSA will make the final decision on child support enforcement, even if the parent getting child support disagrees.
Parents have the right to get advice from a private lawyer or legal aid group at any time and to get legal information from the court's family law facilitator.
If you want to handle your own case to establish parentage, you will need to fill out, serve, and file several court forms. You may also need to have a trial before a judge.
Alert! This section only gives general instructions. Establishing parentage is complicated. Talk to your court's family law facilitator. The family law facilitator can help you with the forms and tell you if your local court has special local forms, too. You can also talk to a lawyer. Click for help finding a lawyer.
Either parent can start a case to establish parentage. A parentage case also allows the parents to ask for orders about custody, visitation, and child support.
You do NOT need a parentage case if:
- You and the other parent are unmarried but signed a voluntary Declaration of Paternity. Click if you signed a voluntary Declaration of Paternity and now want the court to make custody, visitation, or child support orders.
- You are married to the other parent, including same-sex marriages (or are registered domestic partners).
- The local child support agency already filed a parentage and child support case in court.
- You and the other parent are involved in a domestic violence restraining order case, AND you both agree to parentage of your child and to the court entering a judgment about parentage. Read and use Agreement and Judgment of Parentage (Form DV-180) to do this in your restraining order case.
To start your parentage case, you should file your case in the county where your child lives or can be found. Click to find the court in that county. If you are not sure where your child lives, you can start the case in the county where you live. But the judge may decide later that another county or state should handle the case.

Jersey Buy A Id Ids New Fake Best Online – Maker Make
Online disinformation, or fake news intended to deceive, has emerged as a major societal problem. Currently, fake news articles are written by humans, but recently-introduced AI technology might enable adversaries to generate fake news. Our goal is to reliably detect this "neural fake news" so that its harm can be minimized.
To study and detect neural fake news, we built a model named Grover. Our study presents a surprising result: the best way to detect neural fake news is to use a model that is also a generator. The generator is most familiar with its own habits, quirks, and traits, as well as those from similar AI models. Our model, Grover, is a generator that can easily spot its own generated fake news articles, as well as those generated by other AIs. In a challenging setting with limited access to neural fake news articles, Grover obtains over 92% accuracy at telling apart human-written from machine-written news. Read the publication for more information.
For a demo, please visit Kaart International Pers Nep-id – nl.
Our goal is to develop a strategy to respond to Neural Fake News.
Jersey Buy A Id Ids New Fake Best Online – Maker Recent progress in natural language generation has raised dual-use concerns. While applications like summarization and translation are positive, the underlying technology also might enable adversaries to generate neural fake news: targeted propaganda that closely mimics the style of real news.
Modern computer security relies on careful threat modeling: identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities from an adversary's point of view, and exploring potential mitigations to these threats. Likewise, developing robust defenses against neural fake news requires us first to carefully investigate and characterize the risks of these models. We thus present a model for controllable text generation called Grover. Given a headline like `Link Found Between Vaccines and Autism,' Grover can generate the rest of the article; humans find these generations to be more trustworthy than human-written disinformation.
Developing robust verification techniques against generators like Grover is critical. We find that best current discriminators can classify neural fake news from real, human-written, news with 73% accuracy, assuming access to a moderate level of training data. Counterintuitively, the best defense against Grover turns out to be Grover itself, with 92% accuracy, demonstrating the importance of public release of strong generators. We investigate these results further, showing that exposure bias -- and sampling strategies that alleviate its effects -- both leave artifacts that similar discriminators can pick up on. We conclude by discussing ethical issues regarding the technology, and plan to release Grover publicly, helping pave the way for better detection of neural fake news.

Jersey Buy A Id Ids New Fake Best Online – Maker What's next, research and policy wise?
Jersey Buy A Id Ids New Fake Best Online – Maker In our paper, we introduced Grover, a state-of-the-art model for detecting neural fake news. However, because of the underlying mechanics of current text generation systems, strong disinformation detectors will also be strong disinformation generators.
Jersey Buy A Id Ids New Fake Best Online – Maker We plan to publicly release Grover-Large (345M parameters), while releasing Grover-Mega to researchers who sign a release form. However, Grover is not a panacea. Though in our experiments we found Grover tends to be a highly accurate discriminator of neural fake news, its performance might degrade in practice; moreover, there are serious consequences to both false negatives and false positives.Fakeyourid com Fakeidboss Review - Fake Sites net And The Id Reviews Best
Our research is the first step toward studying algorithmic defense mechanisms against mass production of fake news by machines. We invite follow up research on this topic, which we also intend to do.

(Unity, ME) The lady Clippers season started off in a disapointing way, losing their opening game 3-2 on overtime to Unity College. The Clippers controlled the game for most of the first half but were unable to score despite outshooting Unity 11-4.
The Clippers were finally able to get on the board in the second half when Erin O'Connor put the ball past the Unity keeper. Unity responded just a few minute later to even the score at 1-1. Jess Rubin put the Clippers ahead with 12 minutes left in the game, but the Clippers defense gave Unity too many chances and they finally evened the score with just a few seconds remaining in regulation.
Six minutes into overtime, Unity took a shot from 35 yards out that chipped the Clippers keeper and sealed them the win. Despite outshooting Unity 29-12, the Clippers fall to 0-1 on the season and 0-1 in the Yankee Conference.
