Parisians… er, people in Paris don't seem to do colors, eh? All blacks, whites, and shades of blue/grey.
I love the shades in his outfit. The light grey, the white and the black… perfect use of shades that blend perfectly. I think a darker grey would have been a little off with the stark white and the black.
Just wonderful with the surrounding colour scheme and background. Lovely shot.
The pocket square and thin tie just pull this together nicely.
Just enough for me not to mind the no cuff :P
PS. long time lurker, first time non-anonymous poster.
Do like his hair, too (and his smile)–but not crazy about the color-coordination, nor the very rigid collar….
Nice balance of refined and eccentric. Looks like a fun guy.
I wait here for the 'no cuff' nazis to appear.
I'm pretty new to fashion, but one collection ive always adored is Elie Saab's. However, I've been checking style.com every day and still no Elie, and i don't really remember what day Paris week started? Do you think you could help me out, do you know if Elie Saab is showing in Paris this season, or how many days are left? Pleeeeeeease email me at [email protected] or reply on here, i've been DYING to know
definitely very nice ensemble …although i feel the jacket is a bit 'summery'…a little more overcast and you will see what i mean, but still very nice…..definitely agree with hairstyle …which goes with the round tortoises and umbrella.
Just want to say that I really love your pictures and comments. You just make everyone look so good. I can't wait to see the next photo you take. Keep up with the wonderful works!
it seems as though hes breaking all the rules here, but it still looks great
Panache! And the umbrella, for that final touch of aplomb.
- Don't want to steal the thread, but it must be said… I had the best laugh this morning. Been catching up on video clips at vogue.co.uk. Watched the Missoni show, Sept 30th, thinking how it actually made me think of summer, city strolls, the beach. Terrific prints, no colours too severe. Defined lines, but no shapes too rigid, no sterile feel, no vulgar transparency. Distinct and wholesome looks. And towards the end, you hear a man's voice: "The Missoni show, I thought was great…" Proclaimed with some genuine enthusiasm, too! So my first thought was, I agree. The second thought, Well, that's an unfamiliar voice. Third, Who is that? Fourth… Haaa. Thank you for a great laugh.
Love the beautiful fabric, the slope of the shoulder and the handstitching!
Yay for the photographs of the Beaux-Arts students on Style.com! Those are my favorites of your Paris trip. The boy in the middle is brilliant.
A professor of linguistics at the Sorbornne? His smile reminds of John Gielgud.
By the way, if anybody with no butt to speak of is looking for a pair of great jeans, investigate the Nudie range and, like the Great Sarto himself, go one size down. I bought a pair yesterday at Style:Nordic, this great Scandanavian shop in Singapore yesterday and, quelle surprise, I suddenly have a butt!
He looks like he is a watchmaker!
Looks like my uncle Mordy
THis style conveys a lot of personality, and a impish quality. Adorable.
Eh, really: is there any excuse for this guy's pants? A notch higher and they could cause him serious discomfort in the armpit region!
voila, le french ed wynn.
Is his jacket linen? It's lovely and the grey colour is so subtle. Agree that he does look a little John Gielgud-esque too.
Great haircut, I like men who assume their baldness instead of buzzing it all or going for the horrible "comb over".
there's nothing like a well dressed man. he's sharp. parisian or italian?
We're really missing your daily photographs! What happened since Sunday last?Please take more of the Parisiens! Thanks….
the parisian ed wynn! but of course!

Amy Marshall Dance Company
Choreographer Amy Marshall and Executive Director Chad Levy co-founded the Amy Marshall Dance Company in 2000 in order to realize a vision of dance theater as a visual metaphor for the human spirit. Ms. Marshall's choreography pays tribute to both the beauty and tribulations of life's experiences through dramatic movement. The work's emotional structure explodes across the stage with dramatic confrontation and then suddenly resolves itself into a poignancy of classical dimensions. The virtuosic performance of the dancers leaves audiences awed and delighted.
During the past ten years Amy Marshall Dance Company has performed and taught across North America, Europe and Asia. Through these performances, master classes and dance workshops, the company has inspired audiences and invigorated young dancers in a way that will both challenge and reward them all for years to come.

AICPA offers guide to end-of-life financial planning
It may not be the most exciting financial arrangement to consider, but the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) says everyone who has dependents, owns a business or property should make end-of-life plans to facilitate inheritance and succession.
AICPA is the professional association of CPAs which sets ethical standards for the profession and U.S. auditing standards. It is now offering a free guide to help navigate the complexities of end-of-life financial planning.
The guide, published jointly with the institute's 360 Degrees of Financial Literacy program, covers a range of topics, including planning for yourself; dependents; your property and assets, including business ownership, retirement accounts and long-term and disability insurance; and your estate, which covers overall estate planning, wills and living trusts.
"The guide is meant for a wider group than just aging parents and their children," says Ted Sarenski, CPA/PFS, chair of the AICPA PrimePlus ElderCare Task Force, which developed the publication.
"The end of life does not discriminate according to age," he adds.
For those who are looking for ways to preserve and protect their wealth, some financial experts have also recommended converting liquid assets, especially U.S. dollars, into gold and silver. That is because many analyst have warned the government spending and the resulting massive budget deficit is setting the stage for hyperinflation in the next few years.

text: Famous Paintings Overlain with Hip Hop Lyrics Are Remarkably Cohesive thaxton June 28, 2014 ART, DESIGN Fly Art is a Tumblr account created by students and artists Gisella Velasco and Toni Potenciano. Since December 2013, the duo have been collaborating on mashups of hip hop lyrics and classic artworks, blending two seemingly disparate cultural artifacts into a surprising and often humorous cohesion. Velasco and Pontenciano pair Nicki Minaj with Mona Lisa, Rihanna with Whistler's Mother, and Outkast with Matisse. The large text overlaying the classic art is a bit jarring at first, but creates an interesting effect, recontextualizing both the lyrics and the images, each informing a new reading of the other. The project's Tumblr states that it is "paying homage to the good things in life: fine art and fresh hip hop." (via artnet) READ MORE>

Cape Lookout National Seashore is gearing up for the busy spring and summer season, but there will be some noticeable changes due to automatic federal spending cuts.
HARKERS ISLAND � Cape Lookout National Seashore is gearing up for the busy spring and summer season, but there will be some noticeable changes due to automatic federal spending cuts.
The impact of sequestration on the National Park Service means Cape Lookout National Seashore heads into its busy season with cuts that mean reduced staff and operations.
�We cut a little more than $123,000 from our $2.4 million park budget; a 5-percent cut,� park Superintendent Pat Kenney said.
The cuts mean the loss of two seasonal employees � one park ranger for education/interpretation and one visitor use assistant � and one unfilled permanent administrative support assistant.
The positions were unfilled and there have not been layoffs, but Kenney said their loss results in reduced services. Beginning Sunday, the Harkers Island Visitor Center will be closed on weekends.
�At this point it is until the end of the fiscal year in September and will be evaluated after that,� Kenney said.
Kenney said the picnic area and trails will remain open and the adjacent Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center is open on Saturdays.
Kenney stresses that the parks remains open and the activities continue at Cape Lookout.
�The park is open and the lighthouse itself opens to climbing in May,� he said.
The Light Station Visitor Center and Keepers� Quarters Museum at the Cape Lookout Lighthouse is open 7 days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until October.
Climbing of the lighthouse will continue this season, but the loss of one of the seasonal positions will mean the end of the reservation system. Tickets will be available at the Light Station Visitor Center on a first-come, first-served basis.
The cuts will also impact programming.
Ranger-led interpretive programs offered at the Harkers Island Visitor Center on weekends will be discontinued beginning Sunday. Ranger-led interpretive program offered at the lighthouse, typically from May to September, will also be discontinued.
Kenney said they will not be printing 30,000 copies of the seashore newspaper to cut costs. The newspaper will still be published in digital format and available online, but the printed copies won�t be sent out to places such as the local tourism center and visitor centers across the state.
With 84 percent of the park�s budget paying for salaries and fixed costs like utilities, Kenney said they did their best to continue to protect the resources and meet the needs of its visitors.
�The highest priority was placed on protecting the resource and we then moved to public health and safety,� he said.
The park cut travel, training, overtime and supply purchases and reduced the number of employee positions to meet the required spending reduction.

Dec 21, 2014 - Orlando, FL - Sunday Jazz Brunch
Sunday Jazz Brunch - Grand Bohemian Gallery
Live Artist Event: Steven Mikel - Dark Roast Watercolors™
Sunday, December 21, 2014
The Grand Bohemian Hotel
10:00 am - 2:30 pm
For brunch information visit - The Boheme
Some insight into Steven Mikel
Throughout my life I have always found myself seeing things differently than other people. When others would be noticing the mountain grandeur, I would be fascinated with how the drops of dew clung to the pine needles, or how the pine cones and needles gathered in abstract clumps on the ground pushed together by the mountain breezes. I am drawn to a unique vantage point, such as extreme high or low angles, which accentuate the perspective of the subject and I am captured by the "juxtaposition" of textures and objects.
Human beings have been given an incredible gift... the ability to "see" beyond the physical nature of "sight". However, in everyday life it is easy to focus on the "Big Picture" and miss many of the little details that hold all the experiences together. My vision is to bring those hidden moments to the surface, and help all of us truly connect with the "Big Pictures" in a deeper, more emotional way. For instance...Yes, the mountain grandeur was picturesque, but the dew and pine needle compositions were there as well, and were part of the experience, even if subconsciously.
Event Photos of Steve painting with coffee will be uploaded shortly after the event.

Gallery ABBA
Do you love to draw? Can you throw pots? Do you really get into twisting and welding metal? Do you want to be an artist? Perhaps you already are making fine works. But, then, how do you stay an artist?
You need to find out about the business of art. Successful artists are not usually "discovered," at least not until after they are dead. Successful artists know how not only to make great pieces; they also know how to get themselves noticed, how to gain a clientele through arts fairs, how to maintain mailing lists of folks who are interested in them, how to market themselves to galleries where they may become represented, how to price their work, and, in short, how to do all the things necessary to make a living doing what they love to do. These business matters are not drudgery, even to a very creative artist. They are part of the skill set.
Gallery ABBA permits art students to step into a major corner of this world.
ABBA is a gallery in downtown Beloit that promotes and sells work by students, faculty, and alumni. Each year, a student is named the "acting owner" of this retail shop. The owner has complete responsibility to hire staff, to find artists to represent, to curate shows, hang the work, market, keep the books, and to do everything a "real" gallery owner would do.
The students at ABBA learn a lot about the art business, too. And it really helps them to stay in the business of art after graduation. Try to find an opportunity this cool at any other college. You won't.

Like a lot of people, I take a lot of photos with my phone. I probably snapped 6,000-8,000 of them last year. That means a lot of deleting, too, when the phone runs out of space.
But what do you save when memory is precious? The ones that made their mark, the images that cracked you up or knocked you out. So, here are the remains of the day — the photos that survived my death thumb in 2012. It's a brief look back at the year.
1. Politics were all over the map as DU students partied around the presidential debate there in October, but this was particularly clever campaigning, especially with 3,000 20-year-old guys around. I'm just the messenger here.
2. No seriously. At the Nob Hill bar on Colfax and Logan, they lock down the paper in the men's room. This is from June.

UPDATE: Ellis decided against filibustering, and the Senate approved HB500 with a 27-4 vote.
ORIGINAL POST: The Texas House sent a $197 billion, two-year state budget to Gov. Rick Perry, defending it against some critics who called it too costly and others who said it shorts state needs.
It is the centerpiece of a spending package that was hammered out in tough negotiations over how to appropriately fund key state programs, deliver tax relief demanded by Perry, reduce budget gimmickry and create a $2 billion infrastructure fund to address long-neglected state water needs.
Perry could veto any or all bills in the package, and he has the power to kill particular spending items through a line-item veto.
A number of the bills were on his desk or on their way by late Sunday, but my colleague in the Senate, Eva Ruth Moravec, reports that Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, is threatening to filibuster a proposed $711 million tax break for businesses that's part of the package.
The wrangling over the budget was intense in a legislative session more often marked by camaraderie, the focus sharpened because spending was slashed in 2011 in the face of what turned out to be an inaccurate forecast of a massive revenue shortfall.
The Texas Senate a day earlier approved the negotiated version of SB1.

It's been reported that an NFL team quietly is seeking a new general manager whom it hopes can work alongside the general manager currently in place.
Do we even have to tell you this is a story about the New York Jets?
CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora reported Monday that the Jets are exploring the GM market while trying to find a way to keep Mike Tannenbaum with the team in a cap-management role.
Tannenbaum has a very close relationship with Jets owner Woody Johnson, which might explain why the team is hesitant to simply fire him. If the report is true, the Jets are trying to both move on -- and stay with -- Tannenbaum at the same time. La Canfora wrote that many current GM candidates would "never consider" entering that type of situation.
"That's totally ridiculous," one NFL team executive said. "Only the Jets."
Relive every game this season online and on-demand with enhanced viewing features, including the "All-22" coaches film. Get NFL Game Rewind.
It goes without saying that this is a bad idea. What high-end candidate would want to come into a culture where the owner and previous GM still are buddy-buddy? Beyond that, Tannenbaum has gotten the team in trouble with some poor salary-cap decisions. Why keep him in a role in which he has failed?
Only the Jets indeed.

The big television networks have faced all number of challenges in recent years. But they could be done in by something called Aereo.
Most people probably haven't heard of Aereo, which has been rolling out its video service for just over a year and still serves only 10 cities, none further west than Salt Lake. But millions will be hearing about it now, because on Jan. 10, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the broadcasters' complaints that Aereo's business dramatically breaches telecommunications and copyright law.
The New York start-up offers its subscribers signals from their local over-the-air broadcasters in a way that is either a minor tweak of how they can get those signals on their own (that's Aereo's version), or a novel business model that will destroy civilization, or at least the TV industry (the broadcasters' version).
What's not debatable is that Aereo dramatically alters the balance of power between broadcasters and cable companies, which have been fighting each other to a draw over broadcast fees — the most recent example being this summer's standoff between Time Warner Cable and CBS that resulted in CBS programming getting blacked out for 3 million Time Warner subscribers for a month. Nor is there any secret about who stands to lose if Aereo wins. Here's a clue: The plaintiffs suing Aereo include ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and PBS.
In the never-ending war between cable and broadcasters, "both sides have had a way of inflicting punishment on the other," observes Blair Levin, a telecommunications expert at the Aspen Institute. "But the amount of punishment cable can inflict on broadcasters will be greater if Aereo wins the case."
Here's how Aereo works. The company uses tiny antennas, each about the size of a dime, to pull in local broadcast stations in the cities where it operates. (Los Angeles might see service later this year, the company says.) The antennas, each assigned to a subscriber, are centrally located at an Aereo facility. For $8 a month the subscriber can tune in to any of the stations and watch it on a computer, tablet or smartphone, or direct it onto a TV screen via a Roku or AppleTV box. The content streams through a DVR-like device at Aereo, so the programming also can be recorded, paused, rewound or fast-forwarded.
Aereo's prime market is what its founder, Chet Kanojia, calls cord cutters or "cord shavers." Some have replaced their cable subscriptions with a patchwork of streaming video services like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, and need a reliable source of local TV programming. Others are cable subscribers who don't want to pay for multiple cable boxes for their multiple TVs. They can save money by paying their cable firm for one box and servicing the others with Aereo.
"It's for people whose usage pattern is changing," Kanojia told me. A private company, Aereo doesn't release its customer statistics.
Broadcasters have sued Aereo everywhere it offers service, asserting that Aereo's business model amounts to copyright infringement. The broadcasters say Aereo's service is a "public performance" of copyrighted material without a license, which is illegal.
The company's defense is that it merely enables private performances of broadcast programming for each of its thousands of customers — after all, it's nothing the subscribers couldn't do for themselves with a DVR and a digital antenna from Radio Shack.
You'd be mistaken, however, to think that this is a copyright issue. It's really a much broader fight in a war that has been going on for years, and will go on for years more. The business models of broadcasting and cable are inexorably changing, and every tiny tweak that shifts the wind in one direction or another means the redirection of billions of dollars from someone's pocket to someone else's. Aereo isn't the first service to try driving a wedge between the broadcasters and cable firms. But unlike its predecessors, it has run up an unbroken string of victories in lower courts.
As Levin suggested, until Aereo arrived, the cable and broadcasting companies had reached an uneasy equilibrium. Under federal law, two rules govern how local TV stations get to your cable grid. One is "must-carry," which requires a cable company to transmit virtually all local over-the-air stations for free. The other is "retransmission," which allows those local stations to waive must-carry and instead demand a fee from the cable firm to carry their signals.
For network affiliates, retransmission is more important, for they typically offer programming that cable subscribers insist on having. That's the cause of all blackouts such as the Time Warner/CBS affair — they're about how big a retrans fee the network stations can mulct out of the cable systems. If Aereo gives cable subscribers a way to get their programs without cable, the broadcasters lose leverage. Hence, the lawsuit.
There's even more at issue, as Kanojia points out. "The real issue is disaggregation," he says — allowing consumers to pick and choose which channels they buy, rather than their having to accept their cable service's all-or-nothing menu.
Kanojia says broadcast channels produce 50% of the value proposition for cable subscribers; much of the rest is programming filler they'll never watch. (As I write, Time Warner is trying to distract me with "The Waltons" on the Hallmark Channel and "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" on TLC — and you wonder why I'm still at my desk?)
"Aereo allows those customers to have that 50% value proposition for 10% of the price," Kanojia says. "When customers start bundling themselves with Netflix and Amazon Prime, then the bundle is under pressure. Aereo is the first technology that offers a different way to skin this cat."
The broadcasters have lined up support in court from the National Football League, which claims its carefully calibrated web of locally broadcast games and national, all-you-can-watch packages — NFL Sunday Ticket for DirecTV subscribers, NFL Game Pass for viewers in foreign countries, etc. — will come apart if Aereo can stream games carried by all local broadcast stations to all its subscribers.
That could be true, theoretically, but it isn't actually the service Aereo offers now or is planning for the future, Kanojia says. Aereo provides local broadcasts to subscribers only in those local communities. Detroit customers don't get Boston stations while they're in Detroit (though they get the local stations in Aereo-served communities while they're located in those places.) The NFL, which is joined in its brief by Major League Baseball, is really trying to keep Aereo from wounding its golden geese, the broadcasters who use the league's unique appeal to male TV viewers to squeeze retrans fees from the cable firms, some of which they funnel in turn via huge broadcast deals back to the leagues.
The broadcasters and their partners may have another motive in this case. They'd love to invalidate the so-called Cablevision appeals court ruling of 2008, which legalized cable companies' centralized recording video programming and, arguably, their streaming of the content to PCs and tablets without paying the originators a fee. The Supreme Court declined to review that appellate ruling, but the Aereo case gives it another crack at the issue.
The real question, however, is whether there isn't more to be gained by embracing a technology that expands the customer's control over content. The Aereo lawsuit strongly resembles the Betamax case (decided 30 years ago last week), in which the Supreme Court ruled that consumer time-shifting of TV programs via home recording was legal under copyright law.
Studios and broadcasters argued then that the technology would end civilization as we know it. Instead, it opened up a universe of new opportunities. Just last week, my colleague Ryan Faughnder reported that the Fox comedy "Enlisted" may be saved from low-ratings death by a surprising surge in DVR and on-demand viewing.
It's certainly conceivable that Aereo presents new challenges for copyright law that the Supreme Court will have to sort out. But in the long run, the trend toward placing more choice in viewers' hands can't be stopped.

Nelson represents Brewers on Top 100 Prospects list
MILWAUKEE -- Right-hander Jimmy Nelson is baseball's 83rd-best prospect and the only Brewers player to crack MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects list, which was unveiled Thursday in an MLB Network special.
It's the second straight year that the Brewers have had one representative in MLB.com's Top 100. Last year, Wily Peralta was 64th on the list before spending the entire season in Milwaukee's Major League rotation.
MILWAUKEE -- Right-hander Jimmy Nelson is baseball's 83rd-best prospect and the only Brewers player to crack MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects list, which was unveiled Thursday in an MLB Network special.
It's the second straight year that the Brewers have had one representative in MLB.com's Top 100. Last year, Wily Peralta was 64th on the list before spending the entire season in Milwaukee's Major League rotation.
The annual ranking of baseball's biggest and brightest young talent is assembled by MLBPipeline.com Draft and prospect experts Jonathan Mayo and Jim Callis, who compile input from industry sources, including scouts and scouting directors. It is based on analysis of players' skill sets, upsides, proximity to the Majors and potential immediate impact to their teams. The list, which is one of several prospect rankings on MLBPipeline.com's Prospect Watch, only includes players with rookie status in 2014.
A 6-foot-5 right-hander who will turn 25 in June, Nelson would happily follow in Peralta's footsteps.
Nelson has been considered a top Brewers prospect since the team made him a second-round Draft pick in 2010 out of the University of Alabama. Nelson's most recent season may have been his finest; he was 10-10 with a 3.25 ERA in 27 starts between Double-A Huntsville and Triple-A Nashville before a promotion to the Majors, where he posted a 0.90 ERA in three scoreless relief appearances and one respectable start.
That debut start came Sept. 28 against the Mets at Citi Field, and while Nelson settled for a no-decision in a 10-inning Brewers victory, his five-inning, one-hit, one-run performance offered optimism.
"It wasn't pretty," said Nelson, who walked three batters in the game and battled bouts of extreme wildness he attributed to slick baseballs, "but I tried to do my best to keep us in there and give us a chance to win, and we did that. We ended up scrapping it out in the end."
Did Nelson look ready for the big leagues?
"It may be too soon, but we'll have discussions on that," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said that day. "He probably could use going back to Triple-A for a bit, but I don't know the circumstances we're going to be in. ... He's coming along fast, but I think he needs to pitch some more. He's got good stuff. I like him."
Nelson threw 72 pitches against the Mets, 39 strikes, and "he had a lot left," Roenicke said. "He's a guy who I think is going to carry out his stuff late in the ballgame."
Unlike Peralta, who was essentially assured a spot in the Brewers' pitching rotation at this time last year, Nelson may have to wait for a midseason callup. The team would have to spend the first of his three Minor League options to send him down in Spring Training.
Nelson was one of 39 right-handed pitchers on MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects list, the most represented position.
Brewers officials have been more vocal lately about touting their prospect pipeline, pointing to recent successes like Peralta and Scooter Gennett. But Milwaukee was one of two teams (Oakland) with only one prospect in MLB.com's Top 100. The Angels were the only team with no representatives.
At the top of the list was Twins outfielder Byron Buxton, Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts and Cardinals outfielder Oscar Taveras, in that order. The Red Sox had nine players in the Top 100, but the Houston Astros amassed the most "prospect points" in a system that assigned 100 points for the No. 1 player, 99 points for No. 2 and on down to one point for No. 100.
MLB.com will also release updated team-by-team Top 20 Prospects lists soon, and Nelson will remain at the top position.

ScienceDaily (Nov. 2, 2012) Brain aneurysms occur in about six percent of the population. They are dilated sections of blood vessels, which can deteriorate over time until the blood vessel wall ruptures, resulting in a haemorrhage. This causes a loss of mental functions and severe headaches. Haemorrhages of this kind can even be life threatening. The treatment of such patients involves complex medical decision-making. Models developed by Julia Mikhal can be of great use in this regard. She uses information obtained from brain scans, in combination with fluid dynamics models, to predict flows and forces in the affected part of the brain.
Patient specific
Using the immersed boundary method, Dr Mikhal can calculate fluid flows and the forces exerted on blood vessel walls. This allows her to perform generic model calculations and to obtain a detailed picture of individual patients' specific situations, as a function of space and time. Flow calculations reveal which parts of the vessel wall are at greater or lesser risk of further deterioration. Without such information, it is difficult to make accurate predictions about the future development of the aneurysm. One of the insights produced by these calculations is that the larger the aneurysm, the greater the fluctuations in flow behaviour. These fluctuations are probably a reliable measure of gradually increasing risk levels.
Julia Mikhal's work will enable the entire process to be automated, starting from the collection of a patient's medical data right through to the fluid-mechanical analysis of the flows and forces involved. This generates predictions that have a reliable margin of error, which greatly assists medical specialists in the process of decision making. The key factors in preventing the situation from worsening are speed, reliability, and a rational consideration of the alternatives.
Julia Mikhal conducted her research in Prof. Bernard Geurts' Multiscale Modelling and Simulation group. This group is attached to two University of Twente research institutes: the MIRA Institute for Biomedical Engineering and Technical Medicine, and the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology

Today's Main Story: As Expected, US Lobster Exports to China Plunge in July
As many expected, U.S. lobster exports plunged in July following the imposition of tariffs by China in retaliation for a U.S. initiated trade war. The export value fell 64% for the month of July compared to May and June levels. However, exports to Canada were up sharply, suggesting the unfavorable change in trade patterns.

Hi Everyone,
Some times ago I've been thinking about create a thread with my works (wips) and studies about several techniques like zspheres, low poly models to games and soon some studies with pixar renderman too.
To me, Zbrush is one of very powerfull package to do a fast workflow, since the start of model until the painting and retopology. My intention is to learn and share with you all from Zbrush Central that stuffs, include some videos about it.
Well, it's my start:

The celebrants stayed for awhile, toasting the Anaheim Ducks victory, before pouring into a bus that took them to Muldoon's Irish Pub. Although a special area near the bar had been cordoned off for the Stanley Cup and its pals, few in the bar paid any attention to the rope and clambered over to look, touch and get photographed with the Stanley Cup, much to the annoyance of Pronger.
Later that night, the Stanley Cup returned with Chris to his home in the exclusive Shady Canyon area of Irvine, one of Orange County's most beautiful areas. Chris and his wife Lauren have two boys Jack and George. Chris's parents, Jim and Elsa, were also in to enjoy Chris's California day with Lord Stanley's legacy.
Finnish pancakes are a tradition in northern Ontario, where pockets of immigrants from Finland arrived and settled as early as a century ago. 'Pannukakku, or Finnish pancakes, are thinner than most traditional pancakes, almost like crepes, which only meant that Chris and his brother Sean could eat that many more. No wonder they grew so tall!
Although Elsa won't surrender her cherished, closely-guarded recipe, we peeked over her shoulder as she prepared the special breakfast treat. Here now, as a courtesy to readers of Stanley Cup Journal, is the close approximation of Elsa Pronger's secret recipe for 'pannukakku.'
While Chris and the family gobbled Elsa's 'pannukakku,' the media covered the Stanley Cup's presence at the Pronger home.
By 11 on that Saturday morning, Chris was at the Shady Canyon Golf Course with the Stanley Cup. The trophy was placed by the swimming pool for the three hour-duration of the visit, and golfers got to come by and examine the Cup, most also snapping a picture.
A monstrous but private house party was scheduled for six o'clock that evening. Invitees began arriving dressed in their best casual attire, and valet parking took care of their cars. As guests approached the Pronger home, they were greeted by the sight of votive candles surrounding the pool, making the light on the water dance. The Stanley Cup was on display in the living room, and guests had a professional photograph taken with the Cup as they proceeded into the Pronger party.
"Hey, before I do our new song, 'Into Yesterday,' I want to insist that I first get to drink out of the Cup," joked the amiable McGrath. "Yeah, cranberry and vodka out of the Stanley Cup! That's what I'm talkin' about!!"
Chris then revealed a secret to his guests. "I knew it was a special day today when I woke up with the Stanley Cup in my bed. Then, Lauren reminded me that today was our sixth anniversary! Wooohooooooo!" The men clapped and hooted while the women booed in jest.
The guests mingled about, chatting and laughing. Then, Chris announced, "Hey everybody, it's time to move down to Club Pronger!!!" Chris had cleared out the family's large garage, and a deejay, booming sound system and light show had turned the garage into a pulsating, vibrating dance club, serving wings, ribs and assorted beverages.
Chris just looked, never for one moment losing his grin. "Aw, come on, officers. The police have arrived during ALL my parties! Come on, get your picture taken with the Stanley Cup! Cops with the Cup. Woohoooo!!"
With the block-rocking beats still pounding, although slightly muted, the representatives of the local constabulary had their photos taken beside the Stanley Cup.
It may only have been a coincidence, but the party began to wind down shortly after the visit from the police. Chris said good night to his guests, hoisted the Stanley Cup one final time and warned, "If anybody wakes me in the next twelve hours, they're going to be very sorry!" With that, Chris Pronger disappeared into the darkness.
When next we meet up, the Stanley Cup Journal will be visiting Chris Kunitz and
Ryan Getzlaf in Regina, Saskatchewan. Now if anybody wakes me up in the next?..
never mind!

Wild Wellington: World's best city for animal lovers?
In New Zealand's capital, wildlife sightings are a part of daily life, thanks to the city's green policies and development of countless parks, nature reserves and walking tracks.
Here's a case -- or a few cases -- for why Wellington may be the best city in the world for spotting wildlife.
Orcas and other dolphins
In February, at Wellington Harbour, 100 dolphins spent a week hanging out with residents before moving back out to sea.
Then in March, several pods of orcas came to visit the harbor as they hunted stingrays, drawing out high profile visitors, like "The Hobbit" director Sir Peter Jackson.
For rentals and tours, try Fergs Kayaks, 6 Queens Wharf, +64 (0)4 499 8898, www.fergskayaks.co.nz
Fur seals
New Zealand fur seal colonies can be spotted just minutes from downtown at the southern Red Rocks or on a longer day trip to eastern Cape Palliser.
While local colonies are mostly comprised of large males, the cuter sights of mothers with pups are common from August through October.
Wild horses and goats, a legacy of New Zealand's earliest settlers, also frequent the Red Rocks.
Visit the fur seals with Seal Coast Safari, 232A Leftbank, Cuba Mall; +64 (0)4 801 6040; www.sealcoast.co.nz
Little blue penguins
Little blue penguins, the smallest penguin species in the world, can be found nesting all around the coastline of Wellington's suburbs.
The slate-blue, flightless birds with white bellies weigh a little more than a kilogram.
The best time to see them is at dusk when the parents come home to tend to their chicks and sleep in their burrows.
Not all Wellington residents love them. While the birds may be cute, they do have the annoying habit of crawling underneath homes and making lots of noise during mating.
Visiting drivers should take note of the penguin crossing signs dotted along the coastline -- the birds often waddle across the street to reach their nests.
In an effort to allow penguins to raise their young in relative safety by the sea and eliminate the need for them to keep crossing roads, Places for Penguins, a program by the conservation group Forest and Bird and the Wellington Zoo, has placed more than 200 nesting boxes along the southern coast.
For optimal penguin viewing, walk or drive along the coastline at dusk. Be sure to observe any signage and instructions so as not to disturb nests or protected colonies
Kapiti Island Nature Reserve
Five kilometers off the western coast, Kapiti Island is New Zealand's most important island nature reserve.
Human impact on the island is kept to a minimum to prevent introduction of pests to the closed ecosystem -- just 160 people are allowed in per day.
Visitors can access only two areas of the island and require a permit from the Department of Conservation.
Flightless kiwi, weka and takahē as well as kaka (forest parrots) and the rotund but beautiful kereru (New Zealand pigeon) are among the many bird species plentiful in the area.
Overnight stays are possible at a private lodge on the island.
Boats to the island depart from the Kapiti Boating Club at Paraparaumu Beach, an hour north by car from Wellington.
Zealandia: The Karori Sanctuary
Zealandia is a beautiful sanctuary valley located minutes from downtown.
Rare and highly endangered animals such as tuatara (a "living dinosaur" with a third eye under its reptilian skin), flightless takahē and little spotted kiwi live in the 225-hectare park. A secure fence keeps out invasive non-native species like stoats, rabbits and rats.
Birds such as the kaka and morepork (New Zealand's only surviving native owl) fly in and out of the area freely.
Visitors can encounter friendly wildlife up close via trails open to hikers of all levels and also accessible by wheelchair.
Recommended: guided night tours to see nocturnal species, such as the kiwi.
Zealandia, End of Waiapu Road, Karori; +64 (0)4 920 9200; www.visitzealandia.com
Te Papa's colossal squid
While dead specimens on display behind glass wouldn't normally rate in the wildlife category, Te Papa, New Zealand's national museum, possesses an exception.
The museum's 495-kilogram colossal squid is the only intact specimen in the world, which are shorter but much bulkier and heavier than giant squid.
Originally caught off Antarctica in 2007, the specimen is 4.2 meters long, but is believed to have been a bit larger before it was frozen during the preservation process.
Also at the museum are exhibits of moa, a group of flightless birds that grew up to 3.7 meters tall and weighed more than 227 kilograms.
Moa were then the largest flightless birds in the world before they were hunted to extinction about 600 years ago.
Te Papa, like all of New Zealand's public museums, offers free admission.
Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, 55 Cable St., Wellington, New Zealand; +64 4 381 7000; 10 a.m.- 6 p.m. daily (until 9 p.m. on Thursdays)
Coming up: Ocean Exploration Centre
Wellington recently announced plans for a new NZ$36 million ($30.2 million) New Zealand Ocean Exploration Centre to be built at Lyall Bay.
The aquarium will feature the largest undersea viewing window in the southern hemisphere, and lead visitors through reefs, a sunken ship, a whale skeleton and a jellyfish tunnel before bringing them back to the surface.

Politically Thinking: Local elections crucial statewide

 Next to the contest for governor, the most important Vermont elections this fall are those for the 180 seats in the Legislature. Republicans want to pick up seats in the House, so that chamber could sustain the governor's vetoes if Brian Dubie is elected. Democrats want to maintain a veto-proof majority in the House, in case Peter Shumlin is not elected.

 The veto-proof Democratic majority in the Senate is likely to continue after the election, although Democrats and Republicans may trade control of some open seats in the Chittenden, Washington and Lamoille districts. The most interesting Senate contest involving an incumbent is here in the two-seat Addison County and Brandon district.

 Democratic incumbent Claire Ayer should finish in first place on Nov. 2. There is likely to be a close race between Democratic incumbent Harold Giard and Republican challenger Mark Young for the second seat in the district. Young, a former House member from Orwell, will do well in the more Republican-leaning towns along Lake Champlain, from Orwell north to Panton. Giard will do well in the most heavily Democratic towns in the district — Middlebury, Weybridge, Cornwall, Ripton and Lincoln. This election will be decided in the medium-size towns that are not part of either candidate's or party's base — towns such as Brandon, Bristol, Ferrisburgh and Vergennes.

 In the House, Republicans would like to pick up at least two to four seats. This would put the GOP in a position to sustain vetoes should Dubie be elected, and would make Dubie's threats to veto bills a more credible negotiating tactic with the legislative Democrats.

 Both parties have lists of House districts that they are targeting. Seats where no incumbent is running, and seats where a former legislator is trying to win back a seat, are high on those lists. There are two districts in Addison County that meet these criteria.

 The Addison-5 district (Bridport, New Haven and Weybridge) is open because Democrat Chris Bray ran for lieutenant governor in the primary. Republican Harvey Smith, who held the seat until Bray defeated him in 2006, is trying to make a comeback. Democrat Spence Putnam hopes to hold on to the seat for his party.

 Smith and Putnam ran against each other in 2000. Smith came out on top in a district that then consisted of Cornwall, New Haven, Weybridge, and a few residence halls at Middlebury College.

 Based on the performance of their party's candidates in recent years, Putnam should win this year's contest in Weybridge, and Smith should win in Bridport. That leaves the election to be decided in New Haven, which is both Smith's home town and a town that has been trending more Democratic in recent elections.

 The two-seat Addison-3 House district (Addison, Ferrisburgh, Panton, Vergennes and Waltham) has been one of the most competitive in Addison County in recent elections. This year, there are four veteran candidates seeking the two seats — incumbent Republican Greg Clark; incumbent Democrat Diane Lanpher; Republican Thelma "Kitty" Oxholm, a former House member; and Democrat Liz Markowski, making her fourth run in the district.

 Lanpher is the first Democrat to be elected from the Addison-3 district in many years. She hopes that her work on issues of concern to the district — particularly helping to obtain funds for a prompt rebuilding of the Champlain Bridge and assistance to businesses affected by the bridge closing — will enable her to hold off the challenge from two strong Republican candidates and win one of the district's House seats in November.

 Eric L. Davis is professor emeritus of political science at Middlebury College.

I am struggling to keep a small business afloat during these tough economic times. As a woodworking artisan making product here on my property in the Ozarks of north Arkansas I am constantly in contact with religious people, aka Christians. Some of the shops I market my work through are owned by devout people. Occasionally I am asked what church I attend blah blah. Having very long hair and a beard some have mistaken me for the brother of Jesus. Hah Hah. I have decided to not hide my atheistic stance for some time.
But adopting this open policy has caused me to lose some customers. People around here are very intolerant of anyone who doesn't attend a local church. They almost seem to be even more severe against atheists. I have a pro atheist bumper sticker on one of my vehicles and this has caused some incidents with the locals. I fear that as the word spreads I could be facing a boycott of sorts. Some religious people simply will not support or conduct business with those who don't "worship the Lord." So in a sense I feel like I am shooting myself financially in the foot to remain open and vocal about viewpoints on religion.
It's a sucky situation because I want to be vocal about the millions of thinking, rational, moral atheists who live in this country but on the other hand I don't want to alienate those who would help me keep the lights on.
As a business owner who happens to be atheistic would you remain silent or "go for broke?"

I assume you do not want to relocate? Well, it sounds like you're caught up in the zeal of saving the world and forgetting to take care of yourself--not an unusual phenomenon for caring, passionate people. BUT, you have to pay the rent and put food on the table if you want to represent the millions of thinking, rational, moral atheists who live in this country. No one listens to homeless people.
You have a cause you feel you owe allegiance to, I understand and I feel the same way. You have to support yourself by accepting that you must accommodate your customer's culture and religion. You can help build secular society in other ways--donations, volunteering, etc. You might not be on the front lines, representing the moral, decent face of an atheist American, but you'll still be contributing behind the scenes.
Or you can find a new profession where you are bullet proof and be as open about who you are and what you stand for as you want.
Basically, you're screwed. It's business, location, or lifestyle--ready? Pick one! Oi, I'm sorry, this really, really sucks! Hey, at least your not a gay immigrant. You're not a gay immigrant, are you? Because then I would just give Arkansas the two finger salute.
At the risk of comparing apples to oranges, those jews who survived during the second world war did it by escaping, hiding, or even lying about what they were, not by marching into Berlin and trying to reason with anyone.
....or how about "grapes to watermelons."
I agree with your advice though! There is no shame in survival.
I have a small business in the DC suburbs. I am a pot smoking gay atheist. I do not however wear armbands, and I am not obvious about my various status. I feel as many xians jews and muslims do that money is money, and I do what I do to make a living. When dealing with people who are hostile to my personal world view, I simply charge more. I add a surcharge for church items, and if people identify as anti gay, they also pay more. Otherwise business is business.
There are a lot of bumper stickers I would display if I thought I could do it without retaliation.
Arrest the pope
save the planet, spay or neuter your spouse
abortion on command
if there were no soldiers there would be no wars
god schmod
tax the church
Sadly, there are nut jobs everywhere. There are neighborhoods around here where Hummers are vandalized by Prius owners. . So just live your life, do your thing, and avoid conversations about politics, religion and that other thing I always forget.

Started reading Forgery of the Golden Witch. The beginning implies that this was written before the EP6 translation patch was released, and if that's really true, then I find it amazing that it includes things that I wouldn't have been able to properly understand without reading EP7 first.
But now that I've read all eight novels, I kind of know what to expect from the world of the game board by now... So, I hope it will still be challenging. It already looks as though Rosa, Rudolf, and Kyrie are culprits or at least accomplices. It's way too early to start thinking that it's easy, though, since I haven't even gotten any Red Truths yet.
On a side note, some of the characters have rather skewed personalities. Battler in particular, is different from how he was in Umineko. And Rosa, to a lesser extent. I actually think Jessica seems a little off too.
Don't get me wrong though. So far, I've been quite impressed with this. I can't imagine how much work it must have taken to do this, and when it comes to fanfiction, I'm rarely able to expect such quality from it.

All of Yasu's kids are hir own biological children.
And yes, Forgery of the Golden Witch was written before the release of EP6's translation. Though Kinjo can read Japanese so I'm not sure if he's read the episode at that point.
Also, a warning. You can't trust any of your usual assumptions from the canonical gameboards. That will screw you over.
The personality skews are one part artistic license to make his personal Gameboard work, and one part a result of this being his first major writing project.

If he hasn't read 7 and 8 at this point, then that means that using data from those episodes isn't going to help me anyway. It just confused me, because there's that disclaimer about EP8 spoilers. I assume the spoilers are in the later episodes.
I'm really becoming more and more impressed as I keep reading. The fourth and later twilights have started, and all I can say is that this is magnificent.

Yea, he more or less made a new fan-episode after every official episode, so Fan-EPs 3 and 4 have some EP8 spoilers.
And I mean you can't take any assumptions with you. This guy takes the "Forgery" thing and runs with it, so you can't even trust stuff from the first four episodes.

"Lion (in your story) is Yasu's biological child with Jessica, and Clair, Bernice, and Beth are the biological daughters Yasu had with George."
"Jessica was the one who birthed Lion, and Yasu birthed the other three."
"Yasu impregnated Jessica or was impregnated by George before the other gave birth (or in George's case, helped Yasu give birth) to either their oldest child or all of their children."

And as Aura said, don't be afraid to doubt some assumptions about the standard rules of Umineko, as you could say my gameboards are merely theories come to life. Whether or not they were accurate wasn't my concern, and since there was no way to prove it one way or another I just did what I could and wrote it anyway. It was interesting to see what I got wrong, but also what I happened to get right.

Also, the multi-layered nature of the game board seems to be followed to the letter. All of the main premises of Beato's game board seem to be here, and that's why I was confused as to exactly how much it does differ.
But, I really must say, this is already easily within the top 5% of fanfiction. Usually, when I'm looking for a good fanfic, I have to sort through mountains of crap first, so the fact that my first Umineko fanfic is a good one, is quite refreshing.
EDIT: Not only that but you already had the epitaph figured out before reading EP7. I cannot express how amazing that is to me.

I'm glad it seems to reflect Beato's game, as that was one of my goals at the time. I hope you're able to see past the illusions though, as not everything is quite the same.
Anyway I'm also glad you like Forgery so much, but don't get too excited. I really was an amateur at the time, seeing as my writing really improved in the later games. It's embarrassing for me to go back and read Forgery, it's not nearly as good as the others in my opinion.

WILSON COUNTY, Tenn. -- The son-in-law of a couple killed in a bombing at their rural Tennessee home has been charged with planting the deadly device, authorities announced Thursday.
Investigators arrested 49-year-old Richard Parker on two counts of felony first-degree murder and two counts of felony premeditated murder in connection with a package bomb that exploded at the rural Tennessee home of Jon and and Marion Setzer, investigators announced Thursday. Bond was set at $1 million, said Mark Gwyn, director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
Jon Setzer, a retired lawyer, died Monday when the package bomb detonated outside their home near Lebanon, about 30 miles east of Nashville. Marion Setzer died Wednesday evening at Vanderbilt Hospital. He was 74; she was 72.
Wilson County Sheriff Robert Bryan said Parker lived next door to his in-laws. Investigators would not discuss a motive and provided little detail about the case against Parker, but Gwyn said he is the sole suspect in the Setzers' deaths.
"Right now we feel like we have the person responsible for committing this crime in custody," he said.
Parker was convicted of arson in 1993, for which he served four years on probation, the TBI said.
Amid the debris, investigators found a note they said may have been attached to the bomb, but would not divulge its contents.
"This is a very important piece of evidence, because now you may have handwriting," said former ATF agent and bomb expert Joseph Vince.
Authorities originally said they thought the bomb had been delivered by the U.S. Postal Service, but on Thursday they said they now believe that was not the case.
Officials said Setzer picked up the package from his mailbox, about 200 yards from the home. It detonated just inside the house, killing him and mortally wounding his wife.
"It doesn't make sense at all," family friend Ken Caldwell told CNN affiliate WTVF. "When I've heard it said that it was targeted, I thought, well, they must have targeted the wrong person."
Health problems
Before he retired, Jon Setzer worked on bankruptcy and other cases.
His former law partner, George Cate Jr., said Setzer was a dedicated servant and a pastor at "little country churches." The two met while serving in the Army Reserve.
Cate said he couldn't understand why anyone would want to target Setzer or his wife. "Nothing had happened in my recent times to make me anticipate anything of this kind happening," Cate told CNN affiliate WZTV.
Cate and Setzer became partners at the law firm bearing their names from 1979 to 1991. Setzer worked on general civil cases and specialized in living trusts, his former partner said.
But health problems eventually made it difficult for Setzer to take care of all of his clients' needs, and he quit practicing, Cate said.
'A little anxious'
Neighbors said the blast has scared them; some told WZTV that officers checked other mailboxes on the street for similar devices.
"Of course, it makes us a little anxious to go check our own mailbox when we see something like this happen, because normally boxes are delivered and mail is delivered, and you don't question it," neighbor Tony Dedman told the affiliate.
