Daphne Eck
A new identity and website for a thoughtful and collaborative writer.
A writer's new brand leaves a lasting impression.
Daphne is a brand writer, thinker and content strategist. Her specialty is helping businesses and organizations find their unique voice and connect with their audiences.
Daphne came to us ready to create a brand that truly reflected the way she approaches her work. She needed a logo, a few key identity pieces and a website to set the foundation for her business. Daphne wanted her brand to facilitate connection with clients in both the corporate and nonprofit worlds, and to also resonate with likeminded creative agencies that might want to partner with her.
We've partnered with Daphne for many years, so to be asked to collaborate with her on the new brand development was pure joy. Daphne's professional style is strong yet understated, unique, welcoming and ever attentive to detail. Her carefully honed craft and natural aesthetic inform the work she does for clients, so we knew it would be vital to find a way to reflect that in her branding.
Our overall strategy was to convey Daphne's strength as a writer, her collaboration skills and creative leadership she provides.
During the information gathering process, we kept noticing Daphne's passion for found objects in nature and her love for minimalist design. We challenged ourselves to create a similar framework, while still designing a modern and powerful aesthetic.
To do this, we established a light and earthy color palette, and built a refined, custom geometric logotype for her name. We took a micro perspective on the natural shapes found in the letters of her name and created a pattern that Daphne fell in love with and used throughout her branding.
Daphne is very committed to the personalized attention she gives her clients, and we decided that her communication pieces should match the hand-crafted experience she delivers. The letterpress business cards and note cards provided just the right impression to reflect her high standards and customized work.
For the website, we continued to use an introspective and harmonious tone. We developed a clear content strategy and visual design that highlighted thoughtful images and subtle graphic elements. A sample writing feature was added to certain projects so the reader can get a sense of how Daphne crafts communications.
Our collaboration continued with the talented Cody Peterson, and with his super hero developer skills, the site was brought to life. The pages are cohesive, inviting and a pleasure to read, delivering a simple and delightful user experience.
In the end, her brand reflects the great attention to detail and refinement, establishing Daphne's extensive experience, her commitment to the craft of writing and the insightful way she works. All that's left to do is hire her.

Puzzle Montage Art by Tim Klein
Jigsaw puzzle companies tend to use the same cut patterns for multiple puzzles. This makes the pieces interchangeable, and I sometimes find that I can combine portions from two or more puzzles to make a surreal picture that the publisher never imagined. I take great pleasure in "discovering" such bizarre images lying latent, sometimes for decades, within the pieces of ordinary mass-produced puzzles.

"Well, we knocked off five of them, just the other night"
Nov. 12 – On Wednesday, November 12, 1969 an officer from the Venice Police Department placed a phone call to the Parker Center and asked if homicide detectives wanted to talk to Al Springer. Springer, a member of the Straight Satans motorcycle club – and friend of Danny DeCarlo – had some interesting information about a guy named Charlie and the Tate / LaBianca murder.
Sergeants Frank Patchett and Manuel "Chick" Gutierrez brought Springer to the Parker Center, sat him down in an interrogation cubicle and hit the record button.
In this portion of the interview, made at Parker Center in downtown Los Angeles, Springer tells Patchett and Gutierrez about the 1 percenters, his visits to Spahn Ranch and Devil's Canyon, and how Manson bragged to him about killing rich people.
For the purpose of voice identification, the first detective to speak is Sergeant Frank Patchett. The detective who leaves to "go see the skipper" is Sergeant Manuel "Chick" Gutierrez.
Al Springer
Al Springer, 26 years-old at the time of this interview, was a member of the Straight Satans motorcycle club. Springer, who was originally from Alam, Michigan, lived in Torrance, California with his wife and kids.
Springer had first met Charles Manson a few days after the Tate-LaBianca murders, when he went to Spahn Ranch to talk his fellow club brother, Danny DeCarlo, into leaving. According to Springer, Manson attempted to impress him by bragging about the murders, saying, "we knocked off five of them, just the other night"
Deputy District Attorney Vincent Bugliosi didn't end up using Springer as a trial witness. However, Springer did testify before the Los Angeles County Grand Jury that eventually indicted Charles Manson for the murder of Gary Hinman.
Although he was entitled to a share, Springer never collected his portion of the $25,000 reward put up by actors Peter Sellers, Warren Beatty and Yul Brynner.
Al Springer worked as a millwright for Lease Finance Corp. Co-Generation Plant in Yuba City, California. He passed away at the age of 56, at Rideout Memorial Hospital on Sunday, May 21, 2000.
He was survived by his wife, 6 sons, and 9 grandchildren.
Sergeant Frank Patchett
Sergeant Frank J. Patchett, 38 years-old at the time of this interview, had been with the Los Angeles Police Department for 12 years. He had studied Psychology and Sociology at L.A. State College.
Patchett spent 4 years as a communications officer in the Navy, specializing in Cryptography.
Patchett became a member of the Los Angeles Police Department in August of 1957, where he attended Polygraph school. Before working on the LaBianca murders, Frank had previously been assigned to the Robert Kennedy assassination case.
Sergeant Manuel "Chick" Gutierrez
Sergeant Manuel "Chick" Gutierrez, 43 years-old at the time of this interview, had been with the Los Angeles Police Department for 16 years. He had previously spent 3 years studying Police Science at Cal State.
Chick became a weapons expert in the USMC, serving in Iwo Jima and Korea. His military career earned him a Silver Star, 2 Purple Hearts, 2 Presidential Citations and 6 Battle Stars.
Gutierrez became a member of the Los Angeles Police Department in May of 1953. Before working on the LaBianca murders, Chick had previously been assigned to the Robert Kennedy assassination case.
Chick suffered a heart attack and passed away in his home on the morning of Saturday, December 9, 1972. The 46-year-old officer was survived by his wife, 3 sons and 3 daughters.

Portugieser Chronograph Boutique Edition
With a design reminiscent of a nautical instrument, the Portugieser Chronograph evolved into one of IWC's most popular models.
The Portugieser Chronograph is one of IWC Schaffhausen's most iconic models. With its compact diameter of 41 millimetres, it fits almost any wrist. However, the thin bezel gives the impression of wearing a significantly larger timepiece. The clear, functional dial boasts applied Arabic numerals and slender Feuille hands. Printed with a quarter-second scale, the inner réhaut not only allows precise reading of the stop time but also reminds us of the Portugieser's origins as a nautical precision instrument for the wrist. This special edition in a maritime design is available exclusively at IWC Boutiques and online at iwc.com. It features a case made of 18-carat 5N gold, a blue dial, as well as gold-plated hands and appliqués. The watch is fitted with a blue alligator lather strap. Inside the sporty-elegant chronograph, the IWC-manufactured 69355 calibre is at work. The robust and precise chronograph movement in classic column-wheel design is visible through a sapphire-glass case back.

Future developments in the field of Quantum Computing and Quantum control are eagerly anticipated and include the discovery of new algorithms which could efficiently employ quantum computers, especially the relatively small size devices available today and in the near future; the development of improved threshold theorems to determine the requirements for scalable quantum computing; security proofs for a number of the alternate proposals for secure quantum communications; further elucidation of the various measures of entanglement, their relationship, and how they can be efficiently extracted from experimental data; and overall, the continued work on a number of parallel candidate systems for quantum computation, and development of the necessary logic gates and error-correction techniques to bring this theory to practice.
Developments continue to rely upon system coherence and decoherence.
As such focus will also be directed towards recent developments
in coherence and control in larger molecular systems such a nanostructures
and biomolecules.

Gummbah's cartoons are full of absurdism and extreme situations. Influenced by the French humorous magazine Fluide Glacial, he published his first comic, 'God', in 1994, distributing it himself. His talents were immediately recognized by Dutch publishing house De Harmonie, which started publishing his cartoons the same year. Gummbah's name was established, and his work began appearing in de Volkskrant, Nieuwe Revu, HUMO, and the trade journal for booksellers and publishers, Boekblad. His cartoon collections ('De Tijd Vliegt Slecht' - 'Time Flies Badly', 'Het Geheim van het Verdwenen Mysterie' - 'The Secret of the Disappeared Mystery', 'Hoe Eddie in Balbezit Kwam' - 'How Eddie Got Possession of the Ball') were best-sellers and have been reprinted many times.

Monitoring system resources (CPU utilization, memory utilization, CPU temperature etc.) and having alerts set-up to be notified on unhealthy utilization levels cannot completely help guarantee optimal server or application performance. To fully understand the source of the load on the system resources, one also needs to know about the performance of each critical process associated with the application or services running on the server and this calls for an extensive process monitoring tool.
OpManager serves as an integrated process monitoring software, enabling administrators to remotely monitor and manage processes that are running on discovered devices. OpManager's process monitoring module also enables it to act as a windows process monitor / linux process monitor, thereby allowing you to leverage proactive process monitoring for critical processes running on Windows, Linux, Solaris, Unix, HP UX, IBM AIX, ESX VMware servers etc. through SNMP/WMI/CLI.
'Process Templates' allows one to discover, manage and set thresholds easily across multiple servers, from a single window. Options to configure individual process thresholds are also provided from the device snapshot page. Assigned process monitors give an immediate snapshot of the process status, CPU and memory utilization, with the number of instances of each process.
OpManager also allows you to perform SNMP process monitoring, to manage and monitor processes running on your SNMP-enabled devices. This way, you can monitor processes of almost any device if it just has SNMP enabled in it.
Situations like an unexpected CPU spike or memory leak will require immediate diagnosis and troubleshooting. OpManager's remote process monitor diagnostics allows administrators to view Top 10 processes by CPU or Memory utilization and also provides the ability to terminate the problem-causing processes remotely to save the server from crashing.
OpManager's process monitor toolkit comes with a fault management module that has the ability to trigger alerts (Email or SMS) or notify technician (Web alarm or Log a ticket) when a particular process exceeds the set threshold point. Besides these proactive monitoring functionalities, OpManager has options to run any script or a batch file to resolve any unforeseen network anomalies e.g. restarting a particular service/server, when a process exceeds a set upper limit. All processes data monitored are also stored for graphing, trending and reporting purposes.

Santorini Greece
SANTORINI, GREECE - The Greek isles are known for their beauty and splendor. Santorini is probably one of the best. Santorini was once part of a volcanic island called Thera, but around 1450 BC the center of the island exploded leaving what is now Santorini and some neighboring islands. These images were taken on a trip to this region of the world in September 2005. Usually, it is sunny and very hot at that time of year, but on this day, weather moved in and though it didn't rain where I was, it threatened to do so a large portion of the afternoon. That helped add drama to some of the images.Read More

text: NEW PAPILLON SERIES DESPITE THE PAIN - A FIVE-YEAR SERIES - FIRST YEAR = NEW PAPILLON: Cocooned, Emergence, Culmination, stages. The evolution of perspective from the individual to the cosmic. Five years, five collections to form one snapshot. When the camera moves, the world becomes a large palette of infinite colors, line and geometry. These 'snapshots' start off as swabs of earth components; it's textures, color, patterns and movement and they evolve with every year, adding greater complexity until a final "Creation" series. This collection attempts to reflect the microcosm and macrocosm. The journey does this by mirroring and taking inspiration from two paths. The Monarch butterfly from cocooned (New Papillon Series) migration (Migration Series), mating (Union Series), conception (Conception Series) and offspring (Creation Series). Mirroring my own life from isolation to emergence then from travel (terrain subgroup) and finally to love. The second inspiration mirrors the evolution of the universe from it's seed state of repose to the early chaos and finally to the life-forming creations. Both paths declare the successful story of creation despite the intensity of the journey. Please see full statement for more info.

Lipstick Bandits: The First One
I'm off to see what my fellow bandits have in store for me. Hold on to your purses, ladies, because resisting the urge to buy buy buy is going to be tough:

Ever since I saw that Vanessa Paradis ad I thought this lipstick was perfect. It looks great on you, thanks for the swatch xReplyDelete
This is my first lipstick love too! I was leaving comments on other bandits' blogs and then I saw this! It was Jenny from My Funny Valentine who lured me to the dark side lolReplyDelete
I love how it brightens my face up instantly, even when I'm looking a little off or dull. I wear it on top of a layer of balm or dab it on when I just want a little color, but when I want full impact of this lipstick one layer would do. There's some magic about this one...
That's such a pretty color! I remember ripping out one of those Vanessa Paradis Coco Mademoiselle ads from a magazine and pinning it on my wall b/c it was so pretty. LOL! >___<ReplyDelete
Have a great week!
What a beauuuuuty you are, Xiao!ReplyDelete
I have and love Mademoiselle as well. Very flattering on a lot of people. :) I think I am past halfway done with my tube.
A classic lipstick for a classic beauty!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous color and it looks perfect on you!ReplyDelete
Chanel Rogue Coco is got me too! Before Rogue Coco, I was a gloss girl through and through and I hated lipsticks.
Rogue Coco really got me going. And I chose Mademoiselle as one of my first three Chanel too! With Legende and Sycamore as my other two.
Oh, you have the most beautiful, delicate bone structure!ReplyDelete

YOU SO PRETTY!! I could stare at you ALL DAY.ReplyDelete
You know, I still don't have this one! Why am I so silly? Must rectify. It's just so perfect! Great pick!
I don't own a Rouge Coco. Or any Chanel lipsticks, actually, though I occasionally buy them for my mom. Hmmm...ReplyDelete
Also. WHY YOU SO PRETTY??????????
Xiao, you look so amazing with your hair up! And Gabrielle is so gorgeously sophisticated on you - or maybe it's just because you have such otherwordly cheekbones? Either way, I wish I got this one instead of Sari Dore! xReplyDelete
How pretty is your makeup here?? Why are you so pretty all the time?ReplyDelete
Love this shade, a very worthy first lipstick! Also, you mentioned the Rouge Allures being more moisturizing, which of those would you recommend/are your favorite?
XIAO STOP MAKING EVERYTHING LOOK SO PRETTY! *pouts*ReplyDelete
You make Mademoiselle look absolutely perfect, my dear. And your hair; your hair!! /flails
Ah, Mademoiselle, such a lovely shade!ReplyDelete
I forgot I had mademoiselle. But it leans more coral-y on me, though. Boo! I should start wearing it again.ReplyDelete
Also, your face. It is pretty. :)
It was definitely the Rouge Cocos that stepped me up from MAC to the big leagues (much to the chagrin of my purse). I didn't buy that one, I bought Rivoli because I'm a red hog. lol I agree with you on the Allures being more moisturizing. They feel better on my lips.ReplyDelete
Mademoiselle is a great pick for a starter lipstick. It's so versatile, flattering, and has a certain sophistication.ReplyDelete
I've passed Mademoiselle up time and time again ... and here you go making me want it! AND Lady Godiva. I really need to get my hands on some Sunday Riley.ReplyDelete
♥ Jessica
Great theme! And such a lovely color on you, Xiao. For me it was NARS Schiap. It made me realize that makeup isn't so much about covering up flaws as it is about simply having fun with color.ReplyDelete
I love Mademoiselle, infact i'm wearing it now.ReplyDelete
The color is so lovely n suits any occasions.
I personally think u are truly Asian beauty and u have a good skin complexion.
Hmm...so much for the moisturizing effect huh? The color is pretty, but I think any lipstick, despite claims to be moisturizing, chaps lips easily.ReplyDelete
That one is gorgeous!!! Why don't I have it in my chanel lipsticks collection??? I need it!!! :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the nicest words, you guyss! And um, the whole Chanel thing (and by extension, high end makeup obsession) is ALL Vanessa Paradis' fault. I blame it on her!ReplyDelete
I'm trying to turn on the "reply to comment" feature on Blogger so that it's easier to reply to each of you, but nothing is working in the settings. Any blogger/tech savvy reader want to help me out? :P
Makeup Morsels- Rouge Allures hands down!
I'm with Rae on the hair although I'll leave the flailing to her just because she does it so well :) I didn't quite fall in love with the Chanel Rouge Coco range, but that shade looks amazing on you. Amazing!ReplyDelete
Mademoiselle look incredible on you! Love it! Funny how different one lipstick can look from one person to the next. I wish it looked like that on me. xoReplyDelete
I love love love LOVE mademoiselle! It is definitely one of my go to lipsticks whenever I do bridal make up! As suspected, it looks beautiful on you as well :DReplyDelete
i love burberry tangerine! thank you for reminding me that i had it tucked away, forgotten, in the bottom of a drawer. i am wearing it today and it is lovely. on another note, and i hope you don't mind...have you any thoughts on lmdb skincare? i have tried samples of their (anti-aging) day cream which i love- wears under foundation extrememly well. but i do need sunscreen which it does not contain. have you tried the replenishing moisture/sunscreen? and are there any 'must haves' as far as you are concerned? was thinking of ordering the cleanser and one of the day creams to start.... would love your opinion :)ReplyDelete
Paris- we need to see your flails, lady >:)ReplyDelete
katie- OH I have so much feelings about LMdB skincare! I own the day cream, replenishing daily solution, toner, cleanser, and generous samples of the night cream and eye cream. The thing about the skincare and why I haven't written a review about it is I'm not the targeted audience for it. My skin doesn't need anti-aging yet (what can i say? I start young) so I don't actually *see* a difference.
The cleanser is one of the best I've tried so far. I remember the first time I used it, I felt as if I haven't known "clean skin" before. Awesome product (and at $50 is not too hard to swallow).
As for the rest, my mother is in her mid-50s and I got her the night cream, eye cream, and replenishing daily solution. I have to say after using the stuff her skin became radiant and her wrinkles were severely diminished (unless she smiles. you can't and shouldn't get rid of smile lines!). There's a natural dewiness to her skin now, and she looks really really really good.
I hope that helps? :x

This is very pretty Xiao! Great my-lips-just-naturally-look-this-great shade. I don't own any Chanel lipsticks (yet), but this seems like a great starting point!ReplyDelete
Thank you Xiao! So appreciate your response :)ReplyDelete

hi xiao, i was wondering - which macy's did you go to for the chanel lipsticks? i know barney's in copley place carries the line but do you know if the macy's in cambridgeside galleria also carries them? thanks!ReplyDelete
Hi, lovelies. Due to excessive spam, I would appreciate it if you refrain from including self-promoting links in your comments! This ensures that your comment will be visible and keeps the section clean. I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm thankful for my recent discovery of QuickRes.
My 2009 MacBook recently died so I replaced it with a newer MacBook, and while I was considering the Retina models, I ultimately decided against them. It was mainly the resolution of the Retina MacBooks that interested me…
So when I connected my new MacBook to my old projector, I got nothing. Nothing! The old projector maxes out at 1024×768, and this fancy new MacBook only had two resolutions. What?
Wow, so many choices! 1280×800 and 1024×640. Why would you ever need more than two resolutions!?
So just to test the MacBook I grabbed a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI dongle and plugged it into the nearest television. I saw what appeared to be 1920×1080 not just on the television but also on the built-in display. What?
So after installing QuickRes, here's a look at the resolutions that are now available. Sweet! I've been using the higher resolutions for certain tasks, and the lower ones for things like old projectors. So the real question is, why does Apple not want to make these available without a third-party hack to reveal them?

|New York Before The Steroids
A post over at The Ecocosmology Blog points out that the survival of the human species requires that we move into a mobile home of sorts to then travel to another home world.
The reason that post was published is because scientists tell us that our star The Sun will utterly destroy this planet Earth in the future.
The theme song for that future adventure into space was written by New White Trash ("music of the post paradigm"), which some of our best scientist astronauts listen to as they orbit the Earth in a mobile home we call The Space Station.
Yes, as they practice to be ready for that long haul down Highway 61 someday in the future, a trip to be taken in a thin-skinned metal container not attached to real estate.
|Cosmic Double-Wide
Or that NASA is looking for the human boll weevil's next home world, or that the problem is not finding one, it is finding something to pull the doublewide there before the wheels fall off, since the trip is a hideously long one (over 700,000 years with current technology).
One facet of this lack of knowledge was mentioned in a test of Americans that Newsweek did a while back.
Bill Maher mentioned that Newsweek test, along with the results, on last week's show, since he had an editor at Newsweek on as a guest.
Bill pointed out that Americans did not do too well on the test, if you consider failing to be "not doing too well."
The Dredd Blog theory for this reality, this dumbing down of the populace, is that doublewide doublespeak is the primary product of homeland security MOMCOM:
One professor calls this doublespeak, and has written a book "Why No One Knows What Anyone Is Saying Anymore". He points out:(Etiology of Social Dementia). The flight-plight of all of us who are members of humanity is also probably represented by another song, other lyrics:
With doublespeak, banks don't have "bad loans" or "bad debts"; they have "nonperforming assets" or "nonperforming credits" which are "rolled over" or "rescheduled." Corporations never lose money; they just experience "negative cash flow," "deficit enhancement," "net profit revenue deficiencies," or "negative contributions to profits."
"A Bird That Flew ..."
(William Lutz, Rutgers University). What is forgotten is that this propaganda is not harmless but is toxic ...
And when finally the bottom fell out(Tangled Up In Blue, Bob Dylan, emphasis added). The show tonight has been brought to you by the makers of "Our Plight", The Virgin MOMCOM.
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue

DESCRIPTION: Entrants may participate in one of three categories in this promotion.
Originally posted by pro70z28 View PostI was wondering the same thing. Can it be a not so recent project as long as it has never been entered in any other contests to date?
Here is some of the fine print and a link to the rest of the fine print below:
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: To enter, you must: (1) create a new project that requires welding; (2) complete and submit an online entry form at MillerWelds.com/showdown for your favorite welding project and include a brief, written description of your project; (3) designate whether you are entering the Easy Category, Moderate Category, or Difficult Category; and (4) submit at least one (1) and up to three (3) digital photographs of your project. Entries become the sole property of Sponsor and cannot be returned. A project submitted in this Promotion may not be submitted in any other pending promotion operated by Sponsor.
Projects that have won a similar promotion offered by Sponsor or have been submitted in any other pending promotion offered by Sponsor may not be submitted.
ENTRY DEADLINE: Entries must be completed and received by or before 5:00 p.m. (Central) on August 10, 2010 (the "Promotion Closing Date"). Sponsor is not responsible for incorrect, inaccurate, or incomplete entry of information by entrants or late or lost entries.
They do say new project. I like the fact that Miller has the contests. But...Miller will state what the requirements are for the projects to be entered but accept projects that do not fit the criteria. I guess whoever accepts projects for Miller doesn't read the rules. Example.........Last year they had three catagories...
Projects that could be made in a day.......projects that could be made within a week........and projects that may take up to three months. I know this because I emailed Miller with questions and this was the reply. They allowed projects that the entrants even stated that their project had taken a few years to complete. I'm sure many had projects that took over 3 months but didn't enter them because of the time to build didn't fit the requirements. So........bottom line is, enter anything you want, pay no attention to the rules and you may have a shot. I'm entering a full size 747 all tig welded.Nick

A panel of scientists recommended today that the spraying of DDT in malaria-plagued Africa and Asia should be greatly reduced because people are exposed in their homes to high levels that may cause serious health effects.
The scientists from the United States and South Africa said the insecticide, banned decades ago in most of the world, should only be used as a last resort in combating malaria.
The stance of the panel, led by a University of California epidemiologist, is likely to be controversial with public health officials. Use of DDT to fight malaria has been increasing since it was endorsed in 2006 by the World Health Organization and the President's Malaria Initiative, a U.S. aid program launched by former President Bush.
In many African countries, as well as India and North Korea, the pesticide is sprayed inside homes and buildings to kill mosquitoes that carry malaria.
Malaria is one of the world's most deadly diseases, each year killing about 880,000 people, mostly children in sub-Saharan Africa, according to the World Health Organization.
The 15 environmental health experts, who reviewed almost 500 health studies, concluded that DDT "should be used with caution, only when needed, and when no other effective, safe and affordable alternatives are locally available."
We cannot allow people to die from malaria, but we also cannot continue using DDT if we know about the health risks," said Tiaan de Jager, a member of the panel who is a professor at the School of Health Systems & Public Health at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. "Safer alternatives should be tested first and if successful, DDT should be phased out without putting people at risk."
The scientists reported that DDT may have a variety of human health effects, including reduced fertility, genital birth defects, breast cancer, diabetes and damage to developing brains. Its metabolite, DDE, can block male hormones.
"Based on recent studies, we conclude that humans are exposed to DDT and DDE, that indoor residual spraying can result in substantial exposure and that DDT may pose a risk for human populations," the scientists wrote in their consensus statement, published online today in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
"We are concerned about the health of children and adults given the persistence of DDT and its active metabolites in the environment and in the body, and we are particularly concerned about the potential effects of continued DDT use on future generations."
In 2007, at least 3,950 tons of DDT were sprayed for mosquito control in Africa and Asia, according to a report by the United Nations Environment Programme.
"The volume is increasing slowly," said Hindrik Bouwman, a professor in the School of Environmental Sciences and Development at North-West University in Potchesfstroom, South Africa, who also served on the panel.
In South Africa, about 60 to 80 grams is sprayed in each household per year, Bouwman said.
Brenda Eskenazi, a University of California at Berkeley School of Public Health professor and lead author of the consensus statement, is concerned because the health of people inside the homes is not being monitored.
A 2007 study on male fertility is the only published research so far. Conducted in Limpopo, South Africa by de Jager and his colleagues, the study found men in the sprayed homes had extremely high levels of DDT in their blood and that their semen volume and sperm counts were low.
"Clearly, more research is needed…but in the meantime, DDT should really be the last resort against malaria, rather than the first line of defense," Eskenazi said.
The pesticide accumulates in body tissues, particularly breast milk, and lingers in the environment for decades.
In the United States, beginning in the1940s, large volumes of DDT were sprayed outdoors to kill mosquitoes and pests on crops. It was banned in 1972, after it built up in food chains, nearly wiping out bald eagles, pelicans and other birds.
Today's use differs greatly. In Africa, it is sprayed in much smaller quantities but people are directly exposed because it is sprayed on walls inside homes and other buildings.
Many health studies have been conducted in the United States, but on people who carry small traces of DDT in their bodies, not the high levels found in people in Africa.
"DDT is now used in countries where many of the people are malnourished, extremely poor and possibly suffering from immune-compromising diseases such as AIDS, which may increase their susceptibility to chemical exposures," said panel member Jonathan Chevrier, a University of California at Berkeley post-doctoral researcher in epidemiology and in environmental health sciences.
In 2001, more than 100 countries signed the Stockholm Convention, a United Nations treaty which sought to eliminate use of 12 persistent, toxic compounds, including DDT. Under the pact, use of the pesticide is allowed only for controlling malaria.
Since then, nine nations—Ethiopia, South Africa, India, Mauritius, Myanmar, Yemen, Uganda, Mozambique and Swaziland—notified the treaty's secretariat that they are using DDT. Five others—Zimbabwe, North Korea, Eritrea, Gambia, Namibia and Zambia--also reportedly are using it, and six others, including China, have reserved the right to begin using it, according to a January Stockholm Convention report.
"This is a global issue," Eskenazi said. "We need to enforce the Stockholm Convention and to have a plan for each country to phase out DDT, and if they feel they can't, good reason why other options cannot work."
Mexico, the rest of Central America and parts of Africa have combated malaria without DDT by using alternative methods, such as controlling stagnant ponds where mosquitoes breed and using bed nets treated with pyrethroid insecticides. But such efforts have been less successful in other places, particularly South Africa.
"We have a whole host of mosquito species and more than one parasite. The biology of the vectors is different and there is therefore no one-method-fits-all strategy, as is the case in Central America," Bouwman said.
For example, he said, some types of mosquitoes in South Africa breed in running water, which cannot be easily controlled.
"The area to be covered is also vast, and infrastructure in most areas is too little to allow environmental management on a sustainable basis," he said.
When a mosquito strain that had previously been eliminated returned to South Africa, it was resistant to the pyrethroid insecticides that had replaced DDT.
"The resulting increase in malaria cases and deaths was epidemic," Bouwman said. Cases soared from 4,117 in 1995 to 64,622 in 2000. "South Africa had to fall back on DDT, and still uses it in areas where other chemicals would have a risk of failure," he said.
The scientists also recommended study of possible health effects of pyrethroids and other alternatives for DDT.
"The general thoughts are that if chemicals have a shorter half-life, like pyrethroids, they are less dangerous," Eskenazi said. "This may be true, but there are virtually no studies on the health effects in humans of the alternatives."
The panel convened in March, 2008, at Alma College in Michigan, near a Superfund site where DDT was produced at a chemical plant. Their goal was "to address the current and legacy implications of DDT production and use," according to their report.
Acknowledging that some areas remain dependent on DDT, they recommended monitoring of the spraying to ensure that usage guidelines are followed and improved application techniques.
"It is definitely not a matter of letting people die from malaria," de Jager said.
This article originally ran at Environmental Health News, a news source published by Environmental Health Sciences, a nonprofit media company.

Round Saltines Disguise Stealth Shrink Ray
As we reported on Friday, in parts of the Northeast, Nabisco's traditional Premium brand saltine crackers have abruptly disappeared from the shelves. Unless they want to switch to one of the several other brands of saltines, their only choices are mini crackers or the new round ones. The change also disguises a stealth Grocery Shrink Ray that reduces the total mass of crackers in a box.
Dave of the blog Dave's Cupboard noticed the phenomenon, and price-checked the new crackers against the old ones. Same price for five and a half fewer ounces of crackers.
Dave points out the biggest insult to consumers' intelligence in all of this: the boxes say "Original."
I live in what is now round saltine country, and can confirm that the smaller boxes of round crackers are being sold at the same price point that the larger boxes of square crackers had been at Price Chopper and Super Walmart. I was delighted to snap up the last box of square crackers at my neighborhood grocery store, because my life really is that sad.
Nabisco's Premium Saltines Go Round and Round [Dave's Cupboard]

My Governments main priorities are economic stability, investment and reform in public services and a constructive foreign policy.
To this end, my Government will maintain sound public finances and will continue to take action to secure high levels of employment.
This approach will enable my Government to continue to invest in the public services, while supporting major programmes of reform on health, education, transport and crime.
At the heart of my Governments legislative programme is a commitment to reform and rebalance the criminal justice system to deliver justice for all and to safeguard the interests of victims, witnesses and communities.
A Bill will be introduced to reform sentencing arrangements and criminal procedures.
Sentencing will be reformed to ensure that the punishment is appropriate for the offender. New types of sentence will be introduced to protect the public from dangerous offenders, help reduce re-offending and deal with young offenders.
The Bill will also allow retrials for those acquitted of serious offences where new and compelling evidence emerges. It will also simplify the rules of evidence to allow judge and jury to hear all the facts, including relevant previous convictions of a defendant.
Legislation will also be introduced to reform the courts system. It will bring together Magistrates Courts and the Crown Court to work more effectively under a single organisation. New sanctions will allow courts to enforce the payment of fines more efficiently.
My Government will introduce a Bill to tackle anti-social behaviour that damages communities.
A Bill will be brought forward to modernise the laws on sexual offences and to strengthen the framework of penalties for sex offenders to protect the public.
A Bill will also be introduced to improve international co-operation in tackling crime, including drugs trafficking, and to modernise the arrangements for international mutual assistance to catch criminals.
My Government will bring forward legislation to streamline the licensing system for premises selling alcohol. This will abolish fixed opening hours and introduce a range of measures to reduce anti-social behaviour.
My Government will continue to modernise the delivery of healthcare based on the founding principles of the National Health Service.
Legislation will be brought forward to devolve power and resources to frontline staff; give greater freedom to successful hospitals while increasing their accountability to local communities; and to introduce an independent health inspectorate.
A Bill will also be introduced to help ensure that local authorities support older people awaiting discharge from hospital.
Raising educational standards remains my Government's main priority for Britains future prosperity. Secondary school reform will continue to promote opportunity and choice through greater diversity for parents and pupils. University reform proposals will be published to improve access and build on excellence.
My Government wants to create a welfare state based on giving people rights and responsibilities. They will pursue proposals that focus on the importance of work as part of our social security system. They will also bring forward proposals to tackle problems of truancy.
A Bill will be brought forward to establish a Railway Accident Investigation Branch in the light of Lord Cullens recommendations on transport safety and reform the way railways are regulated to improve services for the public.
My Government will introduce a Bill to modernise local government by improving the delivery of local services through better financial management and greater freedom for councils based on performance. Legislation will also be introduced to provide for the holding of referendums on the issue of regional governance in England.
Legislation will be brought forward to reform the broadcasting and telecommunications industry by promoting competition and investment and giving powers to the Office of Communications.
Measures will be brought forward to protect our environment including legislation on the conservation and proper management of water.
My Government will also introduce legislation to speed up the planning system while improving the involvement of local communities.
Estimates for the Public Services will be laid before you.
In Northern Ireland, my Government will continue to work closely with the political parties and the Irish Government to secure the full implementation of the Belfast Agreement. Legislation will be brought forward on policing in Northern Ireland.
My Government maintains its commitment to devolution in Scotland and Wales. A Bill will be introduced to reform the provision of health services in Wales.
A Bill will be introduced to enable Parliament to reach a conclusion on hunting with dogs.
Parliament will be invited to scrutinise legislation in draft on a number of measures, reflecting the importance that my Government places on pre-legislative scrutiny by Parliament.
Legislation in draft will be published to improve both housing standards and standards of management of private rented accommodation by landlords.
Draft legislation will be published on the management of nuclear liabilities. A draft Bill will also be published to reform the laws on corruption.
My Government looks forward to considering the report from the Joint Committee on House of Lords Reform.
Other measures will be laid before you.
The Duke of Edinburgh and I look forward to paying a visit to Belgium next spring and to receiving the state visit of His Excellency the President of Russia next summer.
My Government will work for rapid progress on enlargement of the European Union, notably at next months European Council meeting in Copenhagen. Legislation will be introduced to enable the United Kingdom to ratify the Accession Treaty with prospective member states.
My Government will make a decision on whether to recommend entry into the single currency on the basis of the assessment of the Five Economic Tests to be completed by next June.
The forthcoming NATO Summit in Prague will emphasise the Alliances continuing role as the cornerstone of Britains national security. My Government will continue work for an enlarged and even more effective NATO, enjoying a close partnership with Russia.
My Government will continue to play a leading role in combating terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, which are among the most serious threats to the security of the United Kingdom and our allies. My Government will continue to work with the international community to ensure the implementation of all United Nations Security Council Resolutions.
My Government will work for rapid and effective implementation of the agreements reached at the recent World Summit for Sustainable Development in Johannesburg and will focus on tackling climate change and finding new ways to meet our energy needs.

California Chemtrail Information - Aluminum Coated Fiberglass Particles (CHAFF)
Navy 5-Yr Warfare testing in CA includes toxic chemicals including Aluminum Coated Fiberglass.
U.S. Navy
The Atlantic, the Pacific & the Gulf of Mexico are all in harms way as the U.S. Navy, and in some cases the U.S. Air Force, have initiated multiple 5-Year Warfare testing on both land and in ocean areas. (The NWTRC map on the right is only one of the many ongoing or proposed warfare testing areas planned by the U.S. Navy.)
(Your coastal region, including island areas, may already have a draft envManganesemental impact statement online ready to be approved by the Navy and rubber-stamped by NOAA...Check the pdf files for information regarding your coastal region or state for public comment deadlines or EnvManganesemental Impact Statement current status. Find out if there is already an ongoing weapons and sonar testing program in your region that has been approved.)
Letter from several Senators including Senator Barbara Boxer to NOAA-June 17, 2009:
"...In many regions, the Navy plans to increase the number of its exercises or expand the areas in which they may occur, and virtually every coastal state will be affected. Some exercises may occur in the nation's most biologically sensitive marine habitats, including National Marine Sanctuaries and breeding habitat for the endangered North Atlantic right whale. In all, the Navy anticipates more than 2.3 million takes
(significant disruptions in marine mammal foraging, breeding, and other essential behaviors) per year, or 11.7
million takes over the course of a five-year permit..."

Long Term Effects of Chemtrails:
The people of California need to:
Investigations and inquiries on the state level and above are being ignored and chemtrail spraying is being denied at the highest levels of our government. The only way to halt chemtrail toxic spraying on us is for the general population to wake up and demand that it stop.
When a free people no longer have a say in the air that they breathe, they are no longer free. Think about it, someone or some group of persons, non-elected, now have the power over the air we that we breathe in on a daily basis. They are now deciding what to put in the air and therefore are affecting our overall health and wellness. This means that we are potentially "one spray" away from a potential disaster that could kill/contaminate everyone in the U. S. and all NATO countries. What will happen if an enemy country gains control over these toxic sprays? If you see a chemtrail above your head you are now at risk.
Stop Spraying California!

The Fed chairman Ben Bernanke could have acted to burst America's housing bubble – and yet he did nothing.
As the senate debates Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke's reappointment, it is striking how the media views blaming Bernanke for the Great Recession as being out of bounds. Of course Bernake bears much of the blame for America's economic collapse.
He was either in, or next to, the driver's seat for the last seven years. Bernanke was a member of the board of governors of the Federal Reserve since the summer of 2002. He served a six-month stint as head of President Bush's council of economic advisors beginning in the summer of 2005 and then went back to chair the Fed in February 2006.
This crisis is not a weather disaster like Hurricane Katrina; it is a man-made disaster that was brought about by seriously misguided economic policy. And, after Alan Greenspan, Bernanke was better positioned than any other person in the country to prevent this disaster.
The basic argument is very simple. The US had an enormous housing bubble. This bubble drove the economy ever since the last recession in 2001. It propelled the economy directly through a building boom that sent housing construction to record levels. Indirectly, it led to a consumption boom as people spent money based on the $8 trillion in housing equity that was temporarily created by the bubble.
When the bubble collapsed it was inevitable that it would lead to the sort of disaster that we are now seeing. We lost close to $500bn in annual demand due to the collapse of housing construction. The building boom created an enormous glut of housing. There will be little need for new construction for several years in the future.
The disappearance of trillions of dollars of bubble-generated housing equity led to a plunge in consumption. Annual consumption has fallen by close to $500bn. If we add in a loss in demand of close to $200bn associated with the bursting of a bubble in commercial real estate, the collapse of the bubbles led to a fall in annual demand of close to $1.2tn. The Fed has nothing in its bag of tricks that allows it quickly replace $1.2tn in demand, which is why the country is now mired in double-digit unemployment.
In spite of the heroic efforts at obfuscation by many economists, there is not really much to dispute in the above story. Add in the fact that the bubble was both recognisable and preventable, and you have a very solid indictment of Bernanke.
The bubble was easy to recognise, Bernanke just failed to do it. Nationwide house prices had already experienced an unprecedented 30% increase by the summer of 2002. Since there was nothing in the fundamentals of the housing market to justify this run-up, and no remotely corresponding increase in rents, Bernanke should have already been aware of the housing bubble by the time he joined the Fed in 2002.
The Fed has a large arsenal with which to attack a housing bubble, but the first weapon is simply talk. If Greenspan and Bernanke had used their platform at the Fed to educate Congress, the financial industry, and the public at large about the existence of the housing bubble and the risks it posed, this likely would have been sufficient to pop it.
This is not about mumbling "irrational exuberance," it's a question of using the Fed's full research capacities to document the existence of a housing bubble (they actually did the opposite) and then disseminating this research as widely as possible. If this proved inadequate, the Fed also had substantial regulatory powers to curb the deceptive subprime loans that helped inflate the bubble in its later stages.
If talk and regulation failed, then the Fed could have used interest rate hikes. A policy of raising interest rates with the explicit target of bursting the bubble – for example, a commitment to raise rates until house prices fall, – would almost certainly accomplish its goal in fairly short order.
Bernanke and his sidekick, Greenspan, chose to take none of these measures. Instead they insisted everything was fine the whole time. Things were not fine and the country is paying the price. And yes, it is very much Bernanke's fault.
Briefly, we wanted to update you on where Truthout stands this month.
To be brutally honest, Truthout is behind on our fundraising goals for the year. There are a lot of reasons why. We're dealing with broad trends in our industry, trends that have led publications like Vice, BuzzFeed, and National Geographic to make painful cuts. Everyone is feeling the squeeze of inflation. And despite its lasting importance, news readership is declining.
To ensure we stay out of the red by the end of the year, we have a long way to go. Our future is threatened.
We've stayed online over two decades thanks to the support of our readers. Because you believe in the power of our work, share our transformative stories, and give to keep us going strong, we know we can make it through this tough moment.
At this moment, we have 24 hours left in our important fundraising campaign, and we still must raise $19,000. Please consider making a donation today.

There's nothing more exciting then giving you all the chance to learn more about myself! Here are the interview questions I received from Ms. Math!
1. If you couldn't be a teacher, what career would you choose?
This is a tough one. Part of me would say I would like to get into the physical fitness realm, but every time I am asked this question, the first thing that comes to mind is free-lance Graphic Design artist. I fell in love with this kind of work when I was working in the marketing department at a music store while in high school. I was going to attempt getting a degree in Graphic Design when I was attending UND, but they really didn't have a good solid program and I was not too thrilled about transferring universities when I was a sophomore in college and had gained so many wonderful friendships. I know, bad excuse.
2. If you had to give up running, swimming, or biking, which would it be and why?
If I HAD to choose anyone to HAVE to give up, it would be running. As much as it was easy to say, given the fact that I am dealing with a bit of overuse/bad shoes injury, I think this would still be my answer if I had just ran a glorious 10 miler yesterday. Running is hard on the body, and hard on mine. I have inherited bad knees from my mother (love you mom). Running has always been challenging for me, as much as I love it. To be able to still do swimming and biking would be a-okay with me. I think.
3. What do you like best about your house?
The best thing that I like about my house is the SPACE, even though I sometimes think about how much space doesn't get used by me on a regular basis. Let me explain, further. My old apartment consisted of a kitchen that ran into a small living room with a couch chair and ottoman, and then a bedroom and bathroom. Now, I can sit at my dining room table, kitchen counter, living room couch, or basement couch if I like. Heck, I even have room to sit on the floor and do yoga or turbo sculpting without having to move a chair and ottoman. It's great.
4. If you could travel to only one country outside the U.S., where would you go?
This is a hard one. I have never been outside the U.S. (besides Canada) and have such a long list of countries on my list. The first one that comes to mind is Ireland. My Dad has talked about wanting to go over there, and I know that my sister and I have also talked about taking a family trip over there...
5. What is your favorite television show?
This is extremely hard for me because I really don't follow a lot of TV show/sitcoms. I will start with one and never finish it. What usually happens is I fall in love with shows that are on after 8 and then miss them half of the time because that is the time I am packing my gym bag, lunch bag, prepping my morning coffee, making my lunch for work, and getting ready for bed because my alarm will wake me in T-minus 8 hours to go to the gym. If anything is on, it is usually a game, preferable college hoops or baseball, given the season.
Do you want to play along? Here are the rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. (I get to pick the questions).
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

SCHWARTZ, OTTO WILLIAM (Otho Wilhelm), fur-trader and local official; b. 12 May 1715 near Riga (U.S.S.R.); d. 5 Oct. 1785 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Otto William Schwartz, son of a portrait painter, appears to have been born into the German community which had dominated Riga and its environs for some centuries. He served a seven-year apprenticeship in the fur trade beginning in 1732 and later began travels which ended with his joining Edward Cornwallis' expedition to found Halifax in 1749.
When Schwartz reached Chebucto Bay on 27 June in the Canning, he was 34, unmarried, and had enough working capital to establish himself in the fur trade. Most of the settlers with Cornwallis were London's poor, enticed by the offer of government support. The few Swiss, Germans, and French who joined the expedition proved more industrious than their English counterparts, and Cornwallis encouraged further immigration of "foreign Protestants." Of those who arrived in the next few years, some settled in the north suburb of Halifax laid out for them, some in Lunenburg, and some in the English Halifax community.
Although Schwartz's interests lay with the English and he settled among them, he maintained a strong German identity. On 4 Dec. 1750 he married a German widow, Anna Justina Liebrich, and they had three sons and two daughters. He became the elder for life of the German religious community, which, although it formed close relations with the Church of England and began its worship at St Paul's, soon established a church of its own, the little Dutch church (St George's). He supported this church in a number of ways: in 1758 he made an interest-free loan to the congregation for completing the interior; in 1761 and 1764 he appealed to the governor and Council for funds promised by Governor Charles Lawrence* to erect a steeple; and he belonged to the Funeral Fees or Friendly Society, which paid burial expenses for the German poor.
Schwartz's ability to offer this support suggests that his business as a furrier was thriving. In 1760 he had been appointed by the provincial secretary, Richard Bulkeley, "Furrier for the Indian Commerce," an ill-defined but probably privileged and lucrative post in which he was subordinate to Bulkeley, to the commander-in-chief, and to the commissary for Indian trade, Benjamin Gerrish. Schwartz also invested in real estate. By 1782 he had 4,000 acres on the Saint John River, 1,000 on the Windsor Road, a farm in Falmouth Township, and various lots and houses in Halifax and its north suburb.
Schwartz held other offices which were not lucrative but which indicated status. He was a member of the grand jury for Halifax in 1757, rose to become captain in the militia in 1774, and was appointed one of the commissioners of sewers for Falmouth in 1776. From 1773 until his death he represented Lunenburg County in the House of Assembly. The assembly journals do not reveal his political position, but other records show that, although the success of his business depended in part on favour and influence, he had not before his election hesitated to criticize local administration. In 1753 he was associated with a deposition charging the justices of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas with partiality. Four years later he signed a petition against Governor Lawrence for his delay in establishing a representative assembly and for his arrogant attitude towards the leading inhabitants. Another petition which he signed in the same year demanded better fortifications for Halifax.
The few clues to Schwartz's character which remain suggest a shrewd, hard-working man, strongly paternal in his family and church relationships, careful of both worldly and spiritual position. He took pride in being a founder of "the Evangelical German Church," and one of his last gifts was a covering for the table and pulpit with his name "inscribed in Golden Letters." His funeral was costly, and a section of the little Dutch church floor was removed for the construction of his tomb.
Schwartz's will may reveal the vision which shaped his life. Each of his five children was generously provided for, but they were also given to hold in common a large tract of land on the Windsor Road "known by the Name of Schwartzburg." Any one who sold or gave his share to "any person or persons Who Shall not be of the Sir name of Schwartz" was to forfeit his claim. Perhaps Otto William saw himself as founder of a family dynasty in the Nova Scotian wilderness.

Cowboys Lose at Boise State, 68-61, Without Larry Nance, Jr.
Revenge was not in order for the Wyoming Cowboys, who lost 68-61 to Boise State on Saturday in Boise.
Wyoming (16-7, 2-7) played without Larry Nance, Jr., who hurt his wrist in UW's win over CSU-Bakersfield. Without Nance, offense was tough for the Cowboys to find. Derrious Gilmore put up 14 points while Leonard Washington chipped in 4 in the first half. No other Cowboy scored in the first 20 minutes of play. Boise State closed out the half with a 10-0 run to gain a 37-19 advantage at halftime.
The second half opened with a pair of layups from true freshman as Jason McManamen, starting in Nance's place, and Adams found the scoreboard. With 13 minutes to Washington 3-pointer pulled Wyoming to within 11 at 45-34, but Mikey Thompson hit his own 3-pointer to break up the run.
The Cowboys did not allow the Broncos to put the game away though. A Gilmore 3-pointer brought the Pokes within 8 points with two minutes to play. Then Josh Adams hit two free throws and slammed down a rebound to make it 64-58. A BSU turnover gave UW a chance to make it a one-possession game, but Gilmore and Washington both missed 3-point shots. The Broncos then hit 4-of-6 free throws in the final minute to ice the game.
Gilmore led UW with a career-tying 26 points. Washington finished with 18 points and 15 rebounds while Adams had 13 points, all in the second half.
Boise State (16-7, 4-5) is now 10-1 on their home court. They were led by Anthony Drmic with 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Cowboys will return home after two weeks on the road to play Nevada on Wednesday, February 13th at 7 p.m. Coverage will start on Y95 Country at 6:30 p.m.

Republican Rep. Dan Lungren has lost his re-election bid to Democratic challenger Ami Bera in one of California's most hotly contested congressional contests.
Voters from the Sacramento suburbs ousted the veteran lawmaker in the race for the state's newly redrawn 7th Congressional District. This was the second attempt for Bera, a 45-year-old physician who failed to unseat Lungren two years ago.
The Associated Press called the race for Bera on Thursday. He defeated Lungren 51.1 percent to 48.9 percent.
Bera's win adds to Democratic gains in California's congressional races. The state's majority party benefited from an independent redistricting process that was in full effect for the first time this year.
Before the Nov. 6 election, California's congressional delegation had 33 Democrats, 19 Republicans and one vacancy in a Democratic district.
