Today is the LAST DAY to Visit the Wacky Rainbow City Wonderland at the High Line
by Krista Leahy, 07/05/11
If you were thinking that the one thing missing from the High Line is a lot full of crazy giant bouncy castle-like creatures, today is your lucky day. To celebrate the opening of Section 2 of the High Line, the parking lot below the elevated park at 30th Street has been transformed into a weird and wacky wonderland full of giant colorful balloon creatures. Miami-based art collective FriendsWithYou, in partnership with AOL, opened "Rainbow City" last month in honor of the ever growing High Line. For the month of June, Rainbow City will transform the usually grim location into a 16,000 square foot playground. The best part? It's designed for interaction, so you can touch and move anything you like. But hurry -- today is the last day for the candy-colored world! Hit the jump to see the surreal playland for yourself!
The happy city below the High Line features oversized brightly color sculptures that look like something out of Mario Brothers or Rainbow Brite. FriendsWithYou wants visitors to interact with the different pieces, putting the experience of the wonderland in your own hands — basically, they want us all to feel like kids again! The installation and all it has to offer closes today, after which the city has said it plans to host a variety of free and low-cost events that may include live music and film screenings.
To complement the installation, there will be a Rainbow City Pop-Up Shop called BOXER, created by HOLLWICH KUSHNER (HWKN). The shop is a simple red and white striped 8'x8'x6′ box that cracks open in the middle like a music box to provide access to the products inside. "In our design we turned off our sculptural design brain, and focused on a form that is iconic, yet simple, showing off — actually empowering — the products that are being sold," said Matthias Hollwich, Co-founder and Partner of HWKN. The pop-up shop is an example of HWKN's "optimistic architecture," the idea that everything architects do has the potential to enrich our society.
Plus, with free educational programs for children and a variety of local beers by The Brooklyn Brewery for the adults, the artistic landscape aims to please all ages. The space will also host plenty of food trucks (you know you can't get enough of those!), including ice cream sandwiches (including vegan options!) from Coolhaus, cold beverages from Kelvin's Natural Slush Co., tasty tacos from The Taco Truck, as well as some lobster rolls from Red Hook Lobster Pound and delicious falafels and smoothies from Taim Mobile.
Be sure to get out and enjoy the Rainbow City before it's too late! It closes at 10 p.m. tonight.

Universal Studios Florida in New York, Across from the arcade, adjacent to Starbucks
Ben & Jerry's has a large selection of ice cream, frozen yogurt, milk shakes, and smoothies.
Located in the New York section of the park, the facade for Ben & Jerry's is the famous "The Hudson Street Home For Girls," the very orphanage that Little Orphan Annie lived in. Adventurous families can try the Mini-Vermonster (four scoops of ice cream topped with a fresh baked brownie, chocolate chip cookie, banana, hot fudge, whipped cream and two scoops of your four favorite toppings.) While several places serve Ben & Jerry's soft-serve, this is the only place in the parks with a wide selection of hard-packed flavors, including Cherry Garcia and Stephen Colbert's AmeriCone Dream.

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Compared with white women, black women with node-negative breast cancer are significantly less likely to receive the less invasive sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for breast cancer staging, according to a study presented at the annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, held from Dec. 4 to 8.
Dalliah Mashon Black, M.D., of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, and colleagues used Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Medicare data from 31,274 women (5.7 percent black) aged 66 or older to examine racial differences in the utilization of SLNB in patients with node-negative breast cancer.
The researchers found that 74 percent of white women and 62 percent of black women received an SLNB procedure (P < 0.001). For black and white patients, the use of SLNB increased by year, but the disparity persisted through 2007. After adjustment for tumor size, patient sociodemographics, and type of breast surgery, black patients were 33 percent less likely to undergo SLNB. The five-year cumulative incidence of lymphedema was significantly higher in patients undergoing axial lymph node dissection versus SLNB (11.4 versus 6.3 percent), and black race correlated with a significantly elevated risk of lymphedema (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.40). However, whites and blacks undergoing SLNB had similar risks of lymphedema (6.2 versus 7.7 percent).
"From 2002, when surgeons were still incorporating SLN biopsy into practice, until 2007, black women were less likely to have undergone an SLN biopsy than were white women," Black said in a statement. "The fact that this disparity continued over time shows that new and improved surgical therapies may not be effectively implemented in some patient populations."

Khloe Kardashian has hinted she is still hoping to save her marriage to Lamar Odom because she is still madly in love with him.
Khloe Kardashian is still hoping to save her marriage.
The 29-year-old reality TV star, who is reportedly holding off on filing divorce papers even though she has signed them, has hinted she isn't ready to give up on her husband of four years, Lamar Odom, who is allegedly addicted to crack cocaine, because she is still madly in love with him.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star alluded to her marriage woes on Twitter on Tuesday (08.10.13), writing: ''Not all scars can be seen and not all love can be explained. The deepest love is also the hardest to express. Only those in it, understand
''If I love u. Its a deep 4ever love. Ride til the end. Family/friend.Its simply called love. I take it seriously. Dont judge unless u r in it
''We all have our own journeys in life. So even if u don't accept mine. Be kind....We all have a journey 2travel & I want to walk mine, my way
''Two things define you: your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything. (sic)''
The brunette beauty, who kicked Lamar out of their home in Tarzana, California, in August after a failed intervention to get him to go to rehab and reportedly informed him she wants a divorce on their wedding anniversary last month, put on a brave face to host an event at Tru Hollywood with rapper The Game on Monday (07.10.13) and wore her wedding ring.
A source told UsMagazine.com that Khloe ''looked a bit reserved'' and stuck close to her best friend Mailka Haqq at the bash.
The insider said: ''Khloe was very tame and stayed put the entire night. Khloe didn't seem like her usual, bubbly and outgoing self.''
But Khloe looked a bit happier when she began showing her friend pictures of her four-month-old niece, North West.
The source added: ''You can tell she adores that baby girl. Khloe looked happiest during the short time she was showing off her photos.''
The 'Iron Man' star will play the doctor who can talk to the animals.
The show will return to CBS for seasons 11 and 12.
30 year old Mvula said Sony only told her she was being dropped in a 'seven-line' e-mail.

¶ And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about. |
And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. |
And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land. |
¶ And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain. |
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him. |
So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him. |
And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon. |
¶ And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem: |
And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire. |
And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about. |
¶ Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away. |
But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen. |
And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon. |
And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away. |
And the firepans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away. |
The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight. |
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work. |
¶ And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door: |
And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found in the city: |
And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah: |
And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land. |
¶ And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler. |
And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men. |
And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you. |
¶ But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah. |
And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees. |
¶ And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison; |
And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon; |
And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life. |
And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life. |

S Korea and Japan Face New Territorial Dispute |

Japan continues to face an onslaught of territorial disputes. Apparently, the South Korean government intends to file a territorial claim under the jurisdiction of the United Nations to lay claim to "scientific and technical rights" of a disputed territory with Japan.

In this digital age, it's become especially common to have multiple forms of electronic media competing for our attention. Whether it's texting while watching TV or checking email while talking on the phone, one thing is clear: media multitaskers often have difficulty focusing on just one task.
Studies have shown that simultaneously engaging with multiple types of media can affect a person's ability to focus even after media sources have been turned off.
But now, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison say media multitaskers -- and their truncated attention spans -- may benefit from a short breathing exercise.
Breath counting
The meditation exercise, in which participants sat quietly counting their breaths, was shown to improve performance on tests designed to measure attention.
"In general, people perform better after this mindfulness task," Thomas Gorman, first author of the study said in a statement. "But we found a significant difference for heavy media multitaskers. They improved even more on tests of their attention."
The researchers found that heavy media multitaskers scored worse all around, but both groups did better on attention tests after the breathing exercise; heavy multitaskers experienced the biggest performance boost after the exercise.
Short-term effects
Although the effects of the meditation task did not appear to be long lasting, the researchers say its short-term effects could be useful. The effects suggest that heavy media multitaskers can, in fact, be extracted from their state of divided attention.
"One thing the presence of the short-term effects suggest is that the attentional system in heavy media multitaskers isn't intractably affected. It is possible for heavy media multitaskers to adopt a more focused attentional state," explains C. Shawn Green, UW-Madison psychology professor and senior author of the study.
The researchers believe further research could help discover whether the approach can be modified to drive a more lasting improvement.
The study was published recently in the journal Scientific Reports.

EXPLANATION OF ACADEMIC TRACKS IN THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE MAJORAlthough not required to do so by the department, biological science majors may choose to concentrate their biology elective hours in a particular sub-discipline of biology (i.e., "academic track"). Academic tracks are defined as groupings of departmental courses within a traditional or contemporary sub-discipline of biology that may be used to tailor the degree requirements to student interests. Currently, the Department of Biological Science offers seven academic tracks in the following sub-disciplines of biology:
Academic tracks are not majors; they are intended to serve only as guidance and recommendations for departmental courses offered within a sub-discipline of biology. Selecting an academic track does not prevent a biological science student from taking elective courses in another academic track. Because each track contains numerous courses, students should not expect to take all recommended courses for each academic track. Some courses from other departments may be suggested as good professional development (skills or content) choices for a particular academic track. Unless otherwise noted, courses outside of the Department of Biological Science do not count toward the biological science major. Biological science students may also choose not to select an academic track, in which case the 19 biology elective courses are selected from several sub-disciplines of biology. |

SHANGHAI, May 22 – Gambling magnate Stanley Ho and LVMH Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton chairman Bernard Arnault attended the groundbreaking ceremony of L'Avenue Shanghai last May 20.
Mr. Ho and LVMH co-invested US$500 million for the project to develop an area of about 140,000 square meters located in the Hongqiao Development Zone and slated to be finished by 2012.
Upon completion, the upscale commercial complex will include a 47,000 square meter Grade A+ office tower and a 49,000 square meter high-end shopping complex. Posh international brands like Louis Vuitton are expected to set shop in the area.
"Buying power is growing fast in China," Mr. Arnault told Shanghai Daily. "The project shows LVMH's confidence in the future of China, and in the future of Shanghai."
A leader in the luxury industry, LVMH Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton, has a portfolio of more than 60 brands. On the other hand, Mr. Ho is considered one of the richest people in Asia and is sometimes called, "The King of Gambling," for his monopoly of the Macau gambling industry for more than 30 years.
The investment reflects China's significance in the luxury industry. Despite difficult times, luxury brands are not backing out of developing their Chinese market. Last year, luxury sales in the country reached US$8.6 billion or 25 percent of the global market.
According to the World Luxury Association, China has already overtaken the United States as the second largest luxury goods market after Japan. Recently, Giorgio Armani and Dunhill re-launched stores in the city while Gucci will open its new flagship store next month.

Kyoto Shugoshoku
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Military Commissioner of Kyoto, (京都守護職 Kyōto Shugoshoku) was a Japanese bureaucratic office of the Tokugawa shogunate from 1862 through 1868.[1] The officeholder was responsible for keeping the peace in the city of Kyoto and its environs, and in this role, largely supplanted the extant office of Kyoto Shoshidai, though the two offices existed side by side until 1867, when both were abolished.
Matsudaira Katamori of Aizu held the office for much of its existence, with the exception of a brief period in 1864, when the office was held by Matsudaira Yoshinaga of the Fukui Domain.[2]
List of Kyoto shugoshoku[edit]
- Matsudaira Katamori (1862–1864, 1864–1868).[2]
- Matsudaira Yoshinaga, also known as Matsudaira Keiei (1864).[2]

To the MechWarrior love, we have a brand new trailer for MechWarrior Online and after checking it out, I'm intrigued by what an MMO featuring MechWarrior's game-play and militaristic world.
MechWarrior Online will be demoing epic gameplay battles at next week's GDC, but in the meantime check out this super sweet behind-the-scenes look at an Atlas being prepared for its drop out of a Leopard class drop ship – temporary rockets strategically placed on the Atlas for its drop will help guide it to its land-based objective. We also get the first real look at the details inside the cockpit of a Mech and hear the all-familiar voice telling us, "all systems online!"

The mainstream media could be waking up to this outrageous government story
From Forbes:
The Denver Post, on February 15th, ran an Associated Press article entitled Homeland Security aims to buy 1.6b rounds of ammo, so far to little notice.
It confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security has issued an open purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition.
As reported elsewhere, some of this purchase order is for hollow-point rounds, forbidden by international law for use in war, along with a frightening amount specialized for snipers. Also reported elsewhere, at the height of the Iraq War the Army was expending less than 6 million rounds a month.
Therefore, 1.6 billion rounds would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years. In America…

Dictionary of Literary Biography on Sadakichi Hartmann
Being an American is, in Henry James's phrase, "a complex fate." The life of Sadakichi Hartmann, characterized as it was by multiple allegiances, was in truth sufficiently complex; yet it was, as H. L. Mencken observed, "thoroughly American." Carl Sadakichi Hartmann was born in 1867 (the exact date is unknown though he often said that his birthday was 8 November), on Desima, an island in Nagasaki Harbor, of a German father, Carl Herman Oskar Hartmann, and a Japanese mother, Osada Hartmann. He received his early education in Germany. An "orphan-immigrant" to the United States at age fifteen, Hartmann set about educating himself in the years before World War I to a new life in the New World (he was naturalized in 1894) and also educating his new countrymen in Philadelphia, Boston, New York, and the hinterland about the Old World, east and west, eking out a precarious existence as journalist, critic...

A few words on what American Muslims need.
We were discussing this, an olive-skinned Muslim man and I, at a banquet last year, when he said a wistful, poignant thing that has stayed with me ever since. "We thought we were white," he said.
Not "white" in the sense of race, whatever that unscientific word means. Rather, white in the sense of assimilation and admission, white in the sense of people from Ireland, Armenia, Cuba, Hungary, southern Italy and other places who, upon arriving here, were regarded as threatening, nonwhite outsiders and required to earn their whiteness, their acceptance, over several generations. When the man said American Muslims thought they were white, he meant they thought they had successfully navigated the trail blazed by all those other people from all those other places.
