Are you a modern undertaking? On condition that you are, you have to follow the tendencies. One of such tendencies in this day and age is refusing the traditional repositories and dealing with the . It will need years to highlight all the possibilities of the. On the other end of the spectrum, we are going to do it and destroy the myths about the sumptuous which do all the same as the gratis data stores.
- In our generation, people cannot exist without communication. And doing deals is also impossible without it. On the assumption that you do not realize the connection, we will explain. With the Alternative Data-warehousing Systems, you are able to contact your business partners from the far-off commonwealths. Moreover, you have the right to send the private deeds and to be sure that you will not become a ravine of the leak of data.
- On circumstances that you prefer to stay unique, the perfect choice for you is the Virtual Data Rooms. In cases when you use them, you may find the design in correspondence with your company colors. Then and there, you are able to attract new close associates and surprise old ones.
- In our time, fashion is all over the place, it is not only about dresses but also about work. The are widely used in these latter days. A lot of corporations refuse using the gratuitous cloud storages and the traditional data rooms. Why does it happen so? Principally, these 2 options cannot provide such a sophisticated degree of confidentiality for your records as the Virtual Platforms. To achieve their aim, they use the fresh security safeguards, such as the data at rest encryption, two-factor authentication, and the polygraph control. For good measure, on condition that somebody downloaded your secret archival depositories, you are in a position to limit their access to the records after the end of working together.
- If you are afraid of the Virtual Rooms on the grounds that they are very difficult, we would like to dismantle this myth. Most of all, mostly, the Online Storage Areas are easy-to-use. Secondly, you have the unique chance to get the free teaching to learn how to work with the Online Deal Rooms.

How Much Is an Astronaut's Life Worth? – Reason Magazine:
Put simply, when the agency takes some $4 billion in taxpayer money per year to fly humans into space, it really has to fly them there and put them to good use. That amount of money, if spent on ground-based life-saving efforts such as childhood vaccinations, swimming lessons, fire escape inspections, highway repairs, body armor for the troops, save (at the government average of $2 million per life) roughly 2,000 lives. This is the sacrifice that the nation makes so NASA can run a human spaceflight program. In the face of such sacrifice, real results are required.

Dorn Spinal Therapy
In hanging, asphyxia is secondary to compression or constriction of the neck structures by a noose or other constricting band tightened by the weight of the body. There may be either complete or incomplete suspension of the body (Figure 8.13). Incomplete suspension, with the toes or feet (less commonly the knees or buttocks) touching the ground, is extremely common. Virtually all hangings are suicidal. Accidental hangings are uncommon and homicidal hangings very rare. Death is caused by compression of the blood vessels of the neck such that an insufficient amount of oxygenated blood reaches the brain. Obstruction of the airway can also occur, either through compression of the trachea or, when the noose is above the larynx, elevation and posterior displacement of the tongue and floor of the mouth. Blockage or compression of the air passages is not necessary to cause death in hanging. A number of individuals have hanged themselves with the noose above the larynx and a permanent tracheostomy opening below. Fracture of the neck plays virtually no role in non-judicial hangings. It is rare and, in our experience, is usually seen only in individuals with advanced degenerative disease of the cervical spine, such as osteoarthritis, in combination with complete suspension of the body, a sudden drop, and, frequently, obesity.
The amount of pressure necessary to compress the jugular veins is 4.4 lb; the carotid arteries, 11 lb; and the vertebral arteries, 66 lb. Compression of the trachea requires 33 lb of pressure.13 Because of the small amount of pressure necessary to compress the carotid arteries, one can hang oneself
sitting, kneeling, or lying down. The weight of the head (10-12 lb) against a noose is sufficient to occlude the carotid arteries and cause death. The authors have seen cases where individuals have hanged themselves from a bedpost while lying in bed next to a sleeping spouse. Hangings in kneeling and sitting positions are common.
Virtually all hangings are suicidal. Depending on the area of the country and the sex of the victim, hanging is either the second or third most popular method of suicide. Rarely, couples hang themselves together, some with the same rope. In hangings, a simple slipknot type of noose is typically used. The noose is constructed from anything that is handy. Most common are ropes, electrical cords, and belts. In jails and prisons, convicts typically tear sheets into strips as well as using T-shirts, undershorts, trousers, or even socks. Occasionally, to prevent a change of mind, the victim ties his hands together. The authors have seen a number of cases where the victims have actually handcuffed their hands behind themselves. (Figure 8.13B )
Figure 8.13 (continued) (B and C) Hanging with (B) hands cuffed behind back (C) incomplete suspension..
The most common point of suspension is the side of the neck, followed by the back and the front. At the time of suspension, the noose typically slips above the larynx, catching under the chin (Figure 8.14). Present on the neck will be a furrow. This furrow generally does not completely encircle the neck, but rather slants upward toward the knot, fading out at the point of suspension — the knot (Figure 8.15). If the knot is under the chin, its site might be indicated by an abrasion or indentation beneath the chin. The clarity and configuration of the furrow depend on the material used. A rope will give a deep, well-demarcated, distinct furrow, often with a mirror-image impression of the twist of the rope on the skin (Figure 8.16A). This furrow initially has a pale yellow parchment appearance, with a congested rim. With time, the furrow dries out and becomes dark brown. If the ligature is a soft material, the groove might be poorly defined, pale, and devoid of bruises and abrasions (Figure 8.16B). In some cases, the lower margin of the groove is pale, with the upper margin red, caused by postmortem congestion of vessels. A towel can give poorly defined superficial areas of abrasion.
In the majority of suicidal hangings, the noose consists of a single loop. Less commonly, there are two loops. This results in two furrows that may be
parallel, overlap at points, or follow two completely different paths, e.g., one oblique and the other horizontal. The two loops might pinch the skin between them, producing a hemorrhagic strip of skin (Figure 8.17). If the noose is a belt, there are usually two parallel ligature marks on the neck where the upper and lower edges of the belt dig into the skin (Figure 8.18).
If a soft noose, such as a towel, is used and the body is cut down shortly after death, no marks may be present on the neck. With a thin, hard ligature, the groove will be narrow, deep, and distinct. The longer the body remains suspended, the more prominent the mark. The furrow will be shallow and broad with a wide ligature such as a strip of cloth. The ligature mark is deepest opposite the point of suspension. Rarely, scratch marks will be seen above and below the ligature mark, where the victim tried to undo the noose.
In most hangings, the face is pale and the tongue is protruding and "black" from drying (Figure 8.19). Exceptions to this usually involve partially suspended individuals, where the noose is tightened only by the weight of the head or the torso. In these instances, while the carotid arteries and venous
drainage are completely occluded, the vertebral arteries continue to supply blood to the head, producing congestion of the face and petechiae. In hangings, blood will pool in the dependent areas of the body, usually the forearms, hands, and lower legs, secondary to gravity. With time, punctate hemorrhages and Tardieu spots, caused by hydrostatic rupture of vessels, will be seen (Figure 8.20).
Prior to removal of the noose from the neck, its nature and composition, width, mode of application, location, and type of knot should be described in detail. After removal, the ligature mark on the neck should also be minutely described. One should describe the direction of the furrow (obliquely upward, horizontal, etc.), whether it is continuous or interrupted, its color, its dimensions (depth and width), whether there is a distinct imprint to the ligature pattern, the areas of the neck involved, and its relation to local landmarks.
Usually, except for ligature marks, there are no other external marks (injuries) on the body. If some are present, the medical examiner must decide whether they are self-induced, occurred during the convulsive phase preceding death, were produced when the body was cut down or during attempted resuscitation, occurred when a swinging body contacted other objects, or were produced by a second party, making the case a homicide.
On examination of the internal structures of the neck, in more than half of the cases, there are no injuries. Of 83 consecutive hangings examined prospectively, only ten (12%) had fractures. Nine showed fractures of the thyroid
cartilage, specifically the superior horns; none fracture of the hyoid, and one a fracture of the cervical spine (VJM DiMaio, personal communication). This last case involved an obese woman with arthritic changes of the cervical vertebrae who stepped off a ladder, dropping a short distance before being fully suspended. Of the nine cases with fracture of the superior horns of the thyroid cartilage, seven were unilateral and two bilateral. Four of the unilateral fractures were contralateral to the point of suspension, two ipsilateral, and one unknown. Seventeen (20.5%) of the 83 cases, excluding those with fractures, showed hemorrhage in the strap muscles of the neck. Petechiae of the conjunctivae or sclerae were present in 21 of the 83 cases (25.3%) including four with fractures and six with hemorrhage in the neck. Absence of petechiae in most hangings is because there is complete obstruction of the arterial system, so there is no pooling of blood in the head, no increased pressure, and, therefore, no pete-chiae. A dried rivulet of saliva often runs from a corner of the mouth and down the chest. Blood-tinged fluid may be present in the nostrils.
The low incidence of fractures of the neck organs observed by one of the authors (VJMD) was also observed by Feigin.19 In a retrospective study of 307 suicidal and accidental hangings, fractures of the neck organs were present in only 9.5% (29) of cases. In three cases, there were fractures of the cervical spine, C1-2, C3-4 and C6-7 (one in association with a fracture of the thyroid cartilage), 14 cases with fractures confined to the thyroid cartilage, nine fractures of the hyoid and three fractures of the hyoid and thyroid cartilage. No individual had more than two fractures of the neck organs.
Fractures were not associated with height of suspension, sex, or the width of the ligature. The likelihood of fractures did increase with age.
The best way to examine the interior of the neck in strangulation deaths, whether manual or caused by hanging or ligature, is to remove the viscera from the chest and abdominal cavities and then remove the brain. After there has been drainage through the cranial and chest cavities, the neck can be dissected in a relatively blood-free field. Fractures of the thyroid cartilage, the cricoid cartilage or the hyoid bone can only be considered antemortem if there is blood at the fracture site. In the authors' opinion, blood detectable only microscopically at a fracture site is insufficient to prove that the fracture was antemortem.
Homicidal hanging is very rare. It is virtually impossible for one of two healthy adults, equally matched physically, to hang the other unless the victim was beaten unconscious or rendered helpless by alcohol or drugs. In the first instance, one would suspect homicide by virtue of the injuries on the victim. In the second scenario, or if the victim was rapidly subdued by two or more stronger assailants, there might be no marks on the body except the noose mark or possible contusions of the arms, inflicted while being forcibly restrained by the assailants. If there is also a marked disproportion in strength between the assailant and victim, for example, an adult and a child or a large man and a small woman, it would also be possible to hang an individual without marks of violence. A person might also be ligature strangled and then strung up. But in this instance, the neck markings would not have the classic inverted-V configuration of a hanging. The authors, however, have seen suicidal hangings involving incomplete suspension where the noose mark overlaid the larynx and was horizontal, not sweeping upward to the point of suspension in an inverted-V configuration. To rule out any violence that might not be visible and to make sure the individual was not drugged, in all alleged suicidal hangings, a complete toxicologic screen should be performed and, in most instances, a complete autopsy.
Accidental hangings usually involve children who are playing at hanging or get entangled in a rope, or adults engaging in the practice of sexual (erotic) asphyxia (see Sexual Asphyxia). Rarely, infants will accidentally hang themselves from a pacifier suspended around their neck on a cord or get entangled in a toy or mobile placed above their cribs.20 Accidental hangings of infants and toddlers have also been reported with venetian-blind cords and drawstrings on clothing.21,22
In all deaths from hanging, the police agency involved should notify the medical examiner's office immediately. If the victim is obviously dead, the body should not be cut down, so that proper photographic documentation and investigation of the scene can be made. The noose should never be cut from the body, but left intact for transport with the body to the morgue.
When the medical examiner removes the noose from the neck, the knot should not be untied. The noose should either be slipped off the head or cut opposite to the knot and the cut ends secured together with tape.
Research has been performed on the hanging of dead bodies. Between 1817 and 1855, Casper performed 23 experiments to determine the effect of hanging on a dead body.23 He concluded that the noose marks seen on the neck in hanging during life could be produced by a ligature applied to a neck within 2 h or if not later after death. Thus, noose marks on the neck do not necessarily mean that an individual was alive when he was hanged.
In judicial hangings, death is caused by fracture-dislocation of the upper cervical vertebrae with transaction of the cord. The knot is placed under the left ear or, less commonly, under the chin. A trapdoor is sprung and the prisoner falls a specific distance determined by his weight. If he falls an insufficient distance, he strangles rather than breaking his neck; if he falls too far, he is decapitated. In properly performed judicial hangings, the victim abruptly stops at the end of his fall when his head is jerked suddenly and violently backward, fracturing his spine. Ideally, one then has the classical hangman's fracture — fracture through the pedicles of C2 with the posterior arch remaining fixed to C3. C1, the odontoid process and the anterior arch of C2 remain in articulation with the base of the skull. This injury pattern is caused by hyperextension and distraction and results in injury of the cord at C2-3. This classic fracture does not always occur in hangings. Thus, in an anthropologic study of six judicial hangings by Spence et al., there were fractures of the hyoid, the styloid processes, and occipital bones as well as the cervical body of C2 and the transverse processes of C1-3 and C5.24
In a report by Hartshorne and Reay on two recent hangings, they found bilateral vertebral artery lacerations with associated basilar subarachnoid hemorrhage; fractures of the hyoid and thyroid cartilage and hemorrhage into the cervical muscle.25 In one of the cases, there was also a fracture or separation at C2 and C3 with complete transection of the cord, bilateral carotid intimal tears and a subdural hematoma. In this latter case, the fall was 5.5 feet, with the knot slipping to the subaural area. In the other case, the fall was 7 feet, with the knot secured in the subauricular area.
In judicial hangings, consciousness is lost immediately, though the heart may continue to beat for 8-20 min and there may be muscular contractions of the facial muscles, twitching and convulsions of the limbs and trunk, and violent respiratory movements of the chest. In non-judicial hangings, where the mechanism of death is strangulation, if there is complete suspension with occlusion of both the carotid and vertebral arteries, based on the experiments of Rossen et al., the victim should lose consciousness in 5-11 sec, with half losing consciousness in 6 to 6.5 sec. If the suspension results only in occlusion of the carotid arteries, unconsciousness may not occur for 10-15 seconds.

Mana Al Kaabi runs the Gulf region's first apiary that rears queen bee breeds from across the world
An Emirati entrepreneur has created a buzz in the GCC honey industry with the region's first apiary that rears queen bee breeds from across the world.
Mana Al Kaabi established the Al Kaabi established Hatta Honey, a honey production business with support from Dubai SME and Dubai Municipality, and now plans to create a new bee breed, to be called the Dubai Breed that will have unique traits that facilitate the production of high quality honey.
The launch, last year, of the Hatta Comprehensive Development Plan, one of whose main aims is to invest in Hatta's youth and support their entrepreneurial aspirations, encouraged Al Kaabi to explore the local rearing of queen bees, a statement said.
According to Al Kaabi, the UAE imports over 95 percent of the queen bee hives required to produce honey so he saw an opportunity to rear queen bees locally.
Al Kaabi's apiary today rears queen bee breeds from Canada, Italy, Oman and Saudi Arabia. He said he hopes to expand his honey business across the UAE and to regional markets. In the future, he also hopes to export UAE-produced honey to international markets.

"On November 1 I met with Tim to get the "lay of the land" planning after death care for my mother in law who was to be buried in Queens, NY. She wasn't going to be cremated which complicated things in my mind. She had been on hospice for 3 weeks, but we didn't really think her death was imminent. Tim proved a lot of reassurance and information to me that day, including a prospective cost structure, choices, and a great deal of information to take home and discuss with my husband. I was planning to get back to him the following week. To our surprise, my mother in law died on Sunday evening, November 4. We had already informed hospice that we planned to use Cook, and Tim retrieved the body from the facility in the early morning hours on Monday. We then met with Tim at 9 am and made a plan. It turned out to be perfect and with reasonable cost. We were able to write one check which covered the service provided by Tim as well as all the other services: the flight for the casket carrying the remains, the NY chapel, and the burial. The Chapel and cemetery were familiar to our family from previous deaths. The whole process was seamless and relieved huge potential stress from our family. My mother in law was embalmed at Cook, dressed, and placed in the coffin of our choosing, flown to NYC and retrieved by the receiving funeral provider Her coffin with remains were in place when we arrived at the chapel on Friday morning, 5 days after she died. I can't say enough about the cordiality and care we received all around. Tim knew exactly what our options were, what would need to happen, and it all worked.

Michael Vukojevic made the cut.
The Kitchener Rangers defenceman was one of 22 players named to Canada's roster for this year's Under-18 Hlinka-Gretzky Cup after a five day audition in Calgary.
The 17-year-old was the sole Blueshirt among the 44 players invited to try out and is the first Rangers player to crack the squad since fellow rearguard Elijah Roberts donned the red and white sweater two years ago.

Travis Simpson is the owner of Jewels by Simpson, a fine jewelry store, and Bella Rose Bridal and Formal, a dress store for brides in Edmond. He and his wife have been in business for about 10 years, and enjoy serving clients and friends here in our community.
Travis started playing football in second grade for the Moore Sooners. He played linebacker and center at Norman High School, and then went on to play collegiately at the University of Oklahoma and had a short stint in the NFL, where he played for the Green Bay Packers and the Miami Dolphins.
"I enjoy being back in Oklahoma," Travis says. "I think it's a great opportunity for folks, both in business as well as athletics—not only at OU, but at all the other colleges and universities in Oklahoma. All the schools have really good programs and opportunities for young people. I love the great state of Oklahoma."
#1 A Young Boy's Dream
When Travis was a young boy in Norman, going to Cleveland Elementary School, a neighbor introduced him to football and sparked in him a love for the sport and a dream.
"The neighbor of my mom and dad two doors down, his name was Warren Harper, he happened to be the linebacker coach at OU, and he introduced me to football," Travis says. "He gave me my first OU football helmet, so he put a dream in a young boy's heart that would one day come true when he signed to play with OU in 1982.
"Norman did not have football in second grade so my dad drove me to Moore and I started on a team called Moore Sooners, imagine that. I still have that same helmet. That was my first helmet as a second-grader.
"That's one of the greatest moments because the gentleman didn't really know us, he was just our neighbor two doors down, but he gave a young person an opportunity to succeed in life or have an ambition in life to go and do something, so that was awesome."
#2 A National Championship
The Oklahoma Sooners, under head coach Barry Switzer, won the national championship, defeating No. 1-ranked Penn State, 25-10, in the Orange Bowl on January 1, 1986. Travis, who had started for the Sooners all season, was injured and didn't get to play in that final game, but he still has fond memories of the season and the championship.
"Ric Uhles, who also graduated from Norman High School a year before I did got the opportunity to start the game at center, and that was Ric's last year at OU," Travis says. "He got an opportunity to start and to play in the national championship game, so I love that thought, the feeling of, here's someone that I had beaten out to play ahead of—from the same high school—and he finally got the opportunity and helped us win the championship."
#3 Professional Dream, Realized
While playing for the Miami Dolphins, Travis got the opportunity to snap the ball to Dan Marino, who is consistently ranked as one of the top quarterbacks of all time. While this may be the highlight of some professional center's careers, Travis found a different opportunity more impressive.
"The biggest one that I got to snap for, that I thought was more impressive, was Ron Jaworski," Travis says. "Ron Jaworski was Dan's backup in the '88-'89 season. Jaws as he was known, had been in the league longer than I'd been playing football." Wow, how cool!
#4 A Proud Father
Travis is a proud father, so naturally, some of his top sports moments aren't his own accomplishments, but rather, those of his kids. One of his greatest moments was seeing his eldest son play in the band at a football game.
"I've never until that point … never actually watched halftime," he says. "That was my first opportunity to do that—when he was a freshman at Edmond Memorial High School. I don't get emotional, but I got pretty emotional watching my son play the saxophone during halftime at the first home game."
#5 A Family Legacy
Travis' middle son is continuing on his family's football legacy.
"My middle son now has started playing football at Edmond Memorial, and to see him grow … This one is taking in dad's footsteps, he plays linebacker and running back for the freshman team at Edmond Memorial High School, and to watch—for a dad to watch his son—that is pretty spectacular," Travis says.
Jewels By Simpson is located at 3224 S. Broadway, Suite 112, in Edmond. For more information, visit JewelsBySimpson.com.

This Michigan homeowner found a trail of destruction after coyotes ransacked his abode.
July 2015: Coyotes instinctively fear humans and usually run away when they see one. But, as they become more numerous in cities, there have been some rare exceptions.
April 2015: NYPD officers nabbed a wily coyote Saturday who made a rare trek to lower Manhattan. Sightings are increasing in New York City, and some experts say as many as 2,000 coyotes live in Chicago. Another report claims that "urban coyotes" have a longer life span than their country cousins.
May 2014: Moose on the loose--this news video reports about a moose's two-city tour and the police efforts to keep it and people safe.
This recent National Geographic article looks at animals who now "commute" as they try to get around in our expanding cities.
Coyotes at Wrigley Field
The rural population shrinks as more people move to the cities, and it seems that some animals have the same idea. Recent news reports indicate that wild animals are joining the move to become urbanites--elk sightings in Kansas, bears lumbering into several cities, and a mountain lion shot in a Des Moines residential area.
In our mid-size town of Ames, a fox and her three kits set up home in a small park behind our house. One day my wife lifted our toddler grandson onto the merry-go-round and the fox darted out. Her kits were cute, and we hoped the family would help with our rabbit infestation, but the mother fox eventually moved on. Maybe she reckoned plentiful rabbits didn't compensate for speeding cars and rambunctious two-year-olds.
Lately, the most brazen "wild things" are coyotes. When I was a kid in Iowa, we figured a coyote was either a romantic symbol of the Wild West or a not-so-wily creature that often had an animated anvil dropped on him from above. We would have thought it "cowboy cool" to have coyotes loping across the fields on the farm. Now they're so thick local farmers need to take measures to protect their sheep from them. Facing gun-toting hunters, coyotes apparently think city life looks more appealing.
A recent report indicates that coyotes have been haunting Chicago's downtown district and the Wrigley Field area. As a long-suffering Cubs' fan, I know it used to be rather barren and lonely around Wrigley during post-season time, so maybe the coyotes found the right spot to hide out. However, 2016's World Series hoopla may have changed things--with all the celebration, maybe no one even noticed a few coyotes had joined the party.
But let's face it—wild animals and tame people are not generally a good combination. We're probably going to see more coyote road kill, bears in trees shot with tranquilizer guns, and mountain lions shot with real guns.
But let's face it—wild animals and tame people are not generally a good combination. We're probably going to see more coyote road kill, bears in trees shot with tranquilizer guns, and mountain lions shot with real guns.
I'm not blaming the animals. Their habitat is shrinking, and especially during winter or drought, a McDonalds' dumpster or backyard fish pond can look mighty tempting. And some people actually bring the wild things into their world. A Des Moines police officer says he has seen a Bengal tiger in a drug bust, an alligator in an apartment, and a number of monkeys. Exotic animals escape, a pet python becomes too big to trust around the family poodle, and in some cases, a wild animal that has been "tamed"—such as a raccoon—rips into a small child.
Attack of the Protective Ground Squirrel
Attack of the Protective Ground Squirrel
I must admit, as a kid I tried to tame a creature from the wild. Ground squirrels had burrowed in at the far edge of our lawn, and with help from my brothers, we dumped enough water down the hole to make it surface. Wearing thick leather gloves, I grabbed it and transferred it to a big tub in the basement. I placed some water in a lid and gave it dandelion stalks for a snack. Beyond that, my eleven-year-old brain had no further plans. We went swimming at a small-town pool that afternoon, and by the time I returned, I figured the furry thing was domesticated.
When I reached in—gloveless--to pet it, the ground squirrel bit my right index finger, and like a snapping turtle, it would not let go. I shook it, yelled, jumped around in the basement, screamed some more, and before I could think of a solution, Mom was coming at us both with a wooden baseball bat raised in the swing-for-the-fences position. I had never seen Mom even bunt, so her solution scared me worse than the animal attack. With drops of blood flying, I raced up the stairs, burst out the door, and soon enough, the animal and I parted ways.
Maybe we all need to figure out how to coexist with wildlife. I know I learned a few lessons: Animals need their space. Wild animals don't make good pets. And a Mom protecting her young should not be anywhere near a baseball bat. by dan gogerty (cartoon from oocities.org; coyote pic from npr.org; ground squirrel pic from thecatsite.com)

Keith Mayerson has been professionally exhibiting his art in galleries and museums since 1993, and is the creator, along with the writer Dennis Cooper, of Horror Hospital Unplugged, a graphic novel now considered a cult classic. Inspired by comics, his exhibitions are often installations of images that create larger narratives. Each work is imbued with allegorical content that relates to our world, yet allows through its formal nuances for the transcendent and the sublime. Like a prose poem of images on the walls, seen in context as a series, the viewer creates the ultimate content of his installations as they experience how the images relate to one another to form meaning. Keith Mayerson is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Art, San Francisco, The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland Ohio, Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus Ohio. He was the lead comics teacher at the School of Visual Arts for 26 years (and taught fine art at NYU, Columbia, Yale, and more) before becoming a Professor of Art at Roski, USC, where he has taught both comics and fine art since the fall of 2016.

I get up this morning, all bedraggled and dreading the thought of canning the 55 lb of tomatoes waiting for me in the kitchen. Mr. Miles comes bouncing in to my bedroom, with a fresh, hot, steaming cup of coffee, all shiny clean and dressed ready for school and he asks me if I 'have two minutes' I snuggle up in his arms and he says - "I just want you to know that I went down this morning to get a jar of peaches from the pantry, and when I looked at all the jars of fruit and produce you've put up I was proud. I just want you to know, you're the BEST wife."
*lump in my throat*
Canning was not a problem.
That's my man.
Miles, I love you more than words can say! I thank God that you are the ONE He chose for me!

Migraine Control with a TENS AA Digital Unit
Migraine headaches can strike anywhere at any time, and they don't let on quickly or easily. But if you have a TENS AA Digital Unit then you may be able to bring relief that is at the ready. A migraine is characterized by a throbbing pain in one area of the head, as well as nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia. An attack can last for hours to days, and vary in intensity. The onset of migraine headache is heralded by several warning signs, including flashes of light, blind spots, or tingling in your arm or leg. There may also be sensorial disturbances known as an aura.
Migraines usually have three stages; namely, the prodrome, the attack, and the postdrome. The prodrome takes place a couple of days before the migraine and consists of symptoms such as constipation, depression, food cravings, hyperactivity, irritability, neck stiffness, and uncontrollable yawning. The actual attack can go uninterrupted for up to 72 hours, though frequency and length vary from one person to another. Symptoms of a migraine attack may be pain in one or both sides of the head, sensitivity to light, sound and smells, pulsating pain, blurred vision, and lightheadedness, among others. The postdrome is the dénouement of the attack, during which a feeling of being drained and washed out is common.
Some of the factors that are believed to cause migraines are female hormonal changes, food (aged cheeses, salty and processed foods, food additives), irregular eating and sleeping habits, drinking (alcohol and caffeinated beverages), stress, sensory stimulation (bright lights, loud sounds, perfume, paint thinner, secondhand smoke), physical exhaustion, atmospheric changes, and medications (contraceptives, vasodilators, nitroglycerin). There may be other catalysts like family history, age, and sex. Migraine can lead to complications produced by the overuse of pain relieving medications.
The risk of migraines can be lessened by avoiding the aforementioned triggers, practicing aerobic exercises, and decreasing the effects of estrogen. Migraine headaches are predominantly treated with drugs, mainly NSAID's, triptans, ergots, opioids, antidepressants and anti-seizure drugs. There is also the possibility to treat migraines with a pain management device like the TENS AA Unit. In this scenario, two electrodes are placed on the upper neck, one high on the shoulder beside the neck, and one more on the temple of the affected side. The intensity should not be too high that it would cause discomfort, nor too low that it couldn't be felt.

What a joke Mike Nifong has become. And check out the quote from his attorney. That's just laughable.
The North Carolina State Bar has charged Nifong, the district attorney in Durham County, with several violations of the state's rules of professional conduct, all tied to his handling of the lacrosse case.
Former Duke Lacrosse Prosecutor Faces Trial
RALEIGH, N.C. (June 12) – More than a year after shocking allegations emerged about Duke University's lacrosse team, prosecutor Mike Nifong is heading to trial – as a defendant
Among those expected to watch from the gallery of a packed North Carolina Court of Appeals courtroom are Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty, two of the once-charged and now cleared players. Several defense attorneys and family members of the three players are also expected to attend.
Nifong is expected to testify at the trial.
Nifong's attorney, David Freedman, did not return calls seeking comment Monday. But last week, he insisted his client had no plans to heed calls from his critics to resign.
"Public opinion is not going to weigh in on how the proceeding develops and will not weigh in on the ultimate decision by the bar," Freedman said. "Our purpose is not to sway public opinion but to present his case to the State Bar."

The root of many of todays problems is in the statement "public opinion will not sway our decision."The government and law system are now above the people beleive they are supposed to be representing. Too many times the enforce the laws they want to bend the ones they need to and ignore the laws we need them to enforce.
This prosecutor is not a role model for the justice system. I have practiced criminal law for 40 years and read the rule book every day- criminal law is not an off the cuff task He has earned maximum consequences
I would think this would prove to show further contempt of court, and that Nifong again believes in his OWN "standards?!"
Another fine example of corruption in office, and is doing nothing but eroding our confidence in not only the government officials "WE" voted into office, but also the government itself!
Holding an office has become a system where if you are a member, are entitled to do as you wish without consequence! There are 2 sets of laws, one for us, and the other for "THEM!"
Another lovely fact is the state pays to defend them, meanwhile citizens lose their homes and life savings to have their cases heard! Completely ABSURD!
I must admit to enjoying the side show! Nifong comes into his appointment by deception, continued in deceptive practices, and is STILL trying to deceive us, and himself! He is truly the epitome of a COWARD!
Now that he doesn't have his title to contort and hide behind, he has turned into a sniveling wimp! Hiding his head in the sand and playing his guitar will not change the fact that his avoidance will last only for a season, then his day WILL come!
Until then he is providing us with A LOT of entertainment, and I am glad to see that he is suffering and frightened! This short taste of his own medicine cannot compare to the deaths of innocent lives of citizens whom he has ignored and defiled!
He should be so ashamed, and apologetic knowing he purposely almost sent 3 innocent men to jail for years for a crime he KNEW they did not commit, completely ignore murder cases and the entire judicial system ground to a halt for ONE case?! And do we honestly think this was the only circumstance?!
He cannot hide, nor ignore the fact that he indeed shall reap what he has sewn, and EVERYTHING he did was by his own choice, for his own motives and agenda!
He is now only beginning to have any sort of pain, AND he is GUILTY by his own admission! Whatever feelings of fright he may have are not near as close to the ones HE was responsible for when they were INNOCENT! The bitter taste of the truthful pill is not nearly as bitter of those of tears of horror and death!
Nifong is by far alone in his dubious abuses in power, and to NOT hold him LEGALLY responsible is a MOCKERY to the very laws he was entrusted to obey and uphold!

Doug Pederson ain't afraid of no ghosts.
He can't afford to be.
The coach of the Philadelphia Eagles realizes that he not only has to deal with New England in Super Bowl LLII, but his team will also have to tackle the Patriots' intimidating past. Their five Lombardi trophies. Their eight trips to the Super Bowl in the past 17 years. Their 24 undefeated months since 2000. Their nine consecutive playoff berths.
The Bill Belichick-Tom Brady combination.
Or, as it was put to Pederson on Thursday, before the Eagles' first practice in preparation for next Sunday's game, the Patriots' "mystique."
Pederson admitted it exists.
"I think that's obviously a real question," he said. "That's a real issue that you have. These guys have been there. They've done it. They've proven it time and time again. My biggest issue focus with the team is, let's just focus on today. Let's just win today. Let's get better today and we'll worry about that when we get to the game.
"It's a credit to what the Patriots have done in their careers and their history, and everybody is trying to win championships like that. But we've just got to focus on today."
Before this season, the Eagles were 0-3 in playoffs dating back to 2008. During that time, the Patriots had won 11 post-season games.
Even when they appear to be down, they're not out. Remember last year's comeback against Atlanta? Remember last week's comeback against Jacksonville?
"You know what, if I make this all about them, we're in trouble," Pederson said. "Honestly, we're in trouble. Everything is going to be written about it … everything has been written about it, talked about it, debated, and it's about us. I'll keep saying that. It's about what we do and how well we execute."
It's the Eagles' best chance against the Patriots and their ghosts.
Brady will unseat Jerry Rice as the oldest non-kicker to play in a Super Bowl next week. He'll be 40 years, 185 days old, while Rice was 40 years, 105 days when he played for the Oakland Raiders in a 48-21 loss to Jon Gruden's Tampa Bay Buccaneers … Which reminds us, less than one year earlier, the Raiders traded Gruden to the Bucs for two first-round picks, two second-rounds picks and $8 million. Who would have thought it'd be such a bad deal? … According to SportsBusiness Daily, the most popular merchandise this season had the name of Eagles QB Carson Wentz. Next on the list was Brady stuff (like any Patriots fan didn't have enough already), followed by Dak Prescott, Antonio Brown and Ezekiel Elliott. The most popular non-drafted player, coming in at No. 9, was Vikings WR Adam Thielen.
Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins has given two free Super Bowl tickets to a man who was recently released from serving 30 years for murder. After meeting Kempis Songster in maximum-security prison a year ago, Jenkins believes he is dedicated to a life of service and repaying what he has taken from society. "I know normally people close to kids or people who may be sick or who are well deserving," Jenkins, a nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award, told the Daily News, "but I wanted to have an example that sometimes we can think outside the box." … Fill in the blank: Eagles DT Fletcher Cox has never _ a Super Bowl game. Trick question, because it has at least two answers — "played in" and "watched." To NJ.com,the native of Yazoo City, Miss., said: "I don't watch football. I don't watch sports." But the Super Bowl? Not once? Sorry, don't buy it … Eagles RB LeGarrette Blount told reporters he's in "straight enemy mode" heading into next week's game against his old team. "Ain't no friends, ain't no homies," Blount said. "There aren't any hard feelings. It just is what it is."
Saints QB Drew Brees is adamant he won't test the free-agent waters. "I'm not going anywhere else," he told ESPN. … The Falcons are dedicated to signing QB Matt Ryan to a long-term extension. Ryan is entering the last of a five-year deal that will count $21.65 against the cap … Patriots OC Josh McDaniels has a second interview for the Colts head-coaching vacancy scheduled for Friday … Former Chargers head coach Mike McCoy is expected to be named the new OC in Arizona … Ravens rookie CB Marlon Humphrey was arrested earlier this month by the University of Alabama police on misdemeanor harassment and theft charges. His plea sounds like one of ignorance. "Marlon told us it was a misunderstanding, regarding a $15 telephone charger, which he thought was his," the Ravens said in a statement … Bills have pinpointed a problem. They've axed their analytics staff.

A growing little boy or girl is always in need of something nutritious and delicious. So, with the Dinneractive Yellow Construction 3-Piece Meal Set by Masontops, there's no difference between work and play: eating can be fun, too. Once you break ground with this meal set, watch your child enjoy learning how fun construction can really be by scooping thick mashed potatoes by bulldozer or gathering stalks of yellow beans by tractor. And on those not-so-fun days spent picking up spaghetti messes and calming that little one down, the meal set holds up really well with soft, durable materials that last tantrum after tantrum. With the anti-slip base just underneath the tray, those messes are prevented as much as possible from about any flat surface, no matter how rough the eating utensils are used on it. On top, however, there's room for several compartmentalized plates, a bowl, and a "loading ramp" designed for sliding food easily into the bowl.

Mesa Verde Country has been home to agriculture for thousands of years, beginning with the Ancestral Puebloans that settled here and lived in the cliff dwellings. That farming tradition continues to this day, and you can experience the fruits of this ancient connection with the lands around Cortez, Mancos and Dolores first hand, in so many ways.
Many of the restaurants, breweries, cafes and wineries in the area get their fresh produce, meats, cheeses and more from farms right next door – meaning the foods and drinks are made with supplies that come straight from Mesa Verde Country, and are just about as fresh when they get to your table as they were when they were first harvested. Imagine taking a vacation on one of these farms, and learning how the locals work the soil and harvest to foods that they then sell in local Farmers Markets, or send to restaurants and stores in the Four Corners region. There are many opportunities open to offer you a real taste ot the farming experience – see how you can book your next vacation on a real farm.
You can also get a taste of real Mesa Verde Country farming by visiting some of the Farmers Markets in the area, held three times a week in the Spring, Summer and Fall. Of course, you'll find fresh produce, dairy, meats and more, but you'll also find a large selection of local art, creative clothing and more local fare, as well as local wines, beers and spirits made right here in Cortez, Mancos or Dolores.

Elminster Aumar, the Sage of Shadowdale, is one of the oldest and most powerful beings in Faerûn. His appearance and abilities are based heavily on Gandalf from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy and other books in the legendarium, but he is believed to be more of a Tom Bombadil figure; an all-knowing representation of Ed Greenwood in the Forgotten Realms canon.

Serena Williams upset by Kuznetsova in 3 sets at Miami Open
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) Serena Williams' 20-match winning streak at Key Biscayne ended Monday with a 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-2 loss to Svetlana Kuznetsova in the fourth round of the Miami Open.
Williams was bidding for her ninth title in the event and her fourth in a row. But after a grueling first set that lasted nearly an hour, the No. 1-seeded Williams faded on a sweltering afternoon.
The No. 15-seeded Kuznetsova won with defense, extending points until Williams would make a mistake. The Russian finished with only 18 unforced errors to 55 for Williams.
Kuznetsova improved to 3-8 against Williams and beat her for the first time since the 2009 French Open quarterfinals.
Williams still hasn't won a tournament since earning her 69th title at Cincinnati in August.

-- updated, revised 3/4, 3/6 --
February 2009 was encouraging, inspiring, in a bracing sort of way. Obama acts as a Confucian gentleman. He responds to knowledge. He cherishes friends from distant places. He doesn't repay scorn with violence. And as Mencius counsels, he heeds the people.
That cat can dance.
This month's climate review suggests that information clarifies. Boundary conditions are now emerging. For remaining within the limits of a temperature rise of 2 C (bad, but acceptable), it appears we have 93 months left. This is the green revolution timeframe. Beyond this timeline opportunity looms dieback. The way the dieback would unfold has become clearer, too. Policywise, February showed a big change for the better. What follows are first some thoughts, next some quotes, and then the regular link list of climate events, climate policy items, mitigation attempts, and climatology news.
Thanks, as always, for your input -- keep it coming!
-- Risky --
So far, it appears the new administration has made all the right moves -- but also a mistake. Obama continues Bush policies. Bush reminds me of Hitler: everything he touches he ruins. Bush, like Hitler, freely started wars with no exit strategy ("kill 'em all" won't do). By sending more troops to Afghanistan, Obama makes Bush's war into his own. Furthermore, Bush, like Hitler, rewarded cronies with booty and transferred wealth from the little people to those in power. And when those in power messed up and the people got hurt, the wealth transfer worsened: the first bailout last fall. By sending a second bailout after the first, without changing the rules much, Obama follows Bush. Over war and bailout, Obama follows a loser.
-- Answers --
Of course the system is collapsing, as unsustainable structures must. Answers, to the question of what to do, stay unchanged. Excellent survival is hippie evolution. A post-consumerist world is our chance. The post-collapse economy will not be based on growth. We will use more Nash than Marx or Smith. Think Star Trek communism with a free market in the green sector.
-- Questions --
Now that the planet is turning hot and dry, and the seas lose their abundance, and the lands lose their fertility, what shall be done with those Americans who've cheated the world's youth out of resources? When will Bush, the climate-changer-in-chief, be brought to justice? What shall be done with the Republican architects of collapse--when will American Denazification begin? And locally, I ask: when will solar, wind, & trains be allowed at the Sun Coast? When will USF Professor Sami Al-Arian, still innocent, still in jail, be rehabilitated?
Alligators basking off the English coast; a vast Brazilian desert; the mythical lost cities of Saigon, New Orleans, Venice, and Mumbai; and 90 percent of humanity vanished. Welcome to the world warmed by 4 C.
G Vince how to survive the coming century New Scientist 2-25
In the face of the impending crisis, people often ask what they can do to protect themselves. 'Buy gold? Stockpile canned goods? Build a fortified compound in a remote area? What should I do?' I would like to suggest a different kind of question: 'What is the most beautiful thing I can do?'
C Eisenstein money & the crisis of civilization RealitySandwich 2-23
Among other things, contraction means that all the activities of everyday life need to be downscaled including standards of living, ranges of commerce, and levels of governance ... The wealth of several future generations has already been spent and there is no equity left there to re-finance.
Jim Kunstler the abyss stares back Clusterfuck Nation 2-23
Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalized, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism.

We head off down Panchsheel Marg, one of New Delhi's main streets. The ladies want to show me something. The U.S. Embassy and the Chinese Embassy are both located on Panchsheel, directly across from each other. They asked me to check out the rooftops of each embassy. What do I notice? Let's see ... The U.S. Embassy's roof is loaded with antennae and listening gear. The Chinese Embassy's roof is loaded with ... new Chinese-made solar hot-water heaters.

Admittedly, Nome is a long way from Australia, but last summer my wife and i saw there a number of moored, well-rigged but unexceptional yachts that had come through the Northwest Passage. That is, they had made without drama a journey that defeated Cook in the 18th century and killed Sir John Franklin and all his expedition in the 19th century.

A government report released this week says that the Air Force missed six total opportunities to notify law enforcement about the man who shot and killed 26 people in a Texas church last year, but should have previously been barred from purchasing firearms due to a domestic violence conviction.
The big picture: The report published by the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (OIG) says that despite an investigation and ultimate conviction of Devin Kelley for domestic violence, his fingerprints and final disposition report were not submitted to the FBI "at any time." The OIG concludes that "there was no valid reason for the USAF's failures."

Write what you know.
But what if you want to know how a crazy horse girl would behave? And you don' know any?
Well, don't sob. I, a certified crazy horse girl, is here to tell you how it works
- You know totally random horse facts. Can probably tell you a thousands different horse breeds and types, a ton of different bit styles (Eggbutt snaffles, D ring snaffle, Curbs)
- You know every school project can have horses in it. I'm not even kidding. Give me a subject and I can weave horses into it.
- You can spell Chincoteague. (Yes, I just spelled that from memory and spell-checker has NO IDEA what it is.)
- If we see horses anywhere, we will point them out. Even if we have horse and are around horses all the time. We will still get excited to see a horse. Or a picture of a horse. HORSE
- *hears horse people speak across room*
*appears at speaker's shoulder*
Did you say dressage?
- You probably have random horse gear lying around the house....even if we have no horses.
- You have read just about every horse book ever and watched just about every horse movie ever. Even some weird ones made in the 70's....
- Are given things by relatives at Christmas and birthdays simply because it had a horse. Just because you're in your twenties doesn't mean you don't want a My Little Pony T-Shirt. Be grateful!
- Don't worry. You get them back later by either spending the entire holiday meal telling everyone about the trilling history of stirrups or by trying to eat your food like you're a horse and whinnying whenever anyone tries to say something about it.
(You are probably sent to your room later for kicking your cousin Pete)
(He deserved it)
- You don't skip. You canter. And on the correct lead, thank you very much.
- Your bike was a horse. Probably names Star, Smokey, Ginger, Socks or something like that.
- And you probably brushed it with all those random curry combs you had lying around your room. And if not the bike, then the long suffering family dog
Are any of you writing books with a weird horse girl in it? Are YOU a weird horse girl? Do you think I should do more "Write What You Know" posts? (Because I'm gonna)

The entire world discovers games from the Netherlands in San Francisco
In a bold gesture embracing a burgeoning industry, The Dutch Consulate in San Francisco opens its doors to videogames. Called INDIGO, 20 game developers from the Netherlands will show their best and upcoming titles to an international audience of fellow developers, investors, publishers and gamers. The event is scheduled to coincide with the nearby Game Developers Conference (GDC) in the Moscone Center and runs from March 25th till the 30th. Entry is free of charge.
INDIGO is organized by Dutch Game Garden, a foundation in the Netherlands aimed at promoting entrepreneurship in the Dutch games industry. "The Netherlands itself only has a handful of publishers, but in San Francisco during GDC there'll be hundreds, all looking for great new games," says JP van Seventer, Development Director of Dutch Game Garden.
"INDIGO enables us to promote a large number of developers from our country all at once. Among them are indies, entertainment game developers and creators of top notch applied games. Their titles are all lined up and presented in a stylish way. The game developers meet fellow devs from around the world, investors and potential creative and business partners."
This was INDIGO last year:
Dutch Game Garden has organized INDIGO multiple times in the Netherlands over the last few years. This year however, is the first time the event will take place in the United States, thanks to the hospitality of the Dutch Consulate. The full address is: The Netherlands Consulate General, 120 Kearny Street, Suite 3100, San Francisco, CA 94104. Doors open Monday evening, 25 March with a mixer.
Growing market
The games industry in the Netherlands is growing rapidly. This small country boasts more than 300 companies involved in game development, employing more than 3,000 people. The Games Monitor, a report published last year, states the Dutch games industry generates between 150 and 225 million Euros each year. (195-293 million USD)
Sponsors and partners
Dutch Game Garden is able to organize INDIGO in San Francisco thanks to a generous sponsorship from the Level Up! Program. Level Up! is aimed at present and future talent within the Dutch games industry. INDIGO creates exposure and visibility for this target audience during an internationally renowned event and creates opportunities for Dutch developers going abroad.
The presentation of the games is made possible by the Netherlands Consulate General in San Francisco, Invest Utrecht, Utrecht School of the Arts, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research TNO, games companies Codeglue, XForm and IJsfontein, and Control, the Dutch games industry magazine.
About Dutch Game Garden
Dutch Game Garden accelerates the growth of the games industry in the Netherlands by providing wide-ranging support and facilities for students, start-ups and established game companies.
Our Business Center provides flexible and affordable housing at top notch locations for existing and growing companies; the Game Company Incubator helps young entrepreneurs setting up and developing their own business; our Developers' Club program stimulates entrepreneurship among students of various game-related study programs. We organize events and masterclasses and co-operate with the government, universities and companies to create the ultimate creative mix.
Dutch Game Garden is supported by the City of Utrecht, the Province of Utrecht and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) of the European Commission.
