European explorers and settlers of the 16th and 17th centuries did not discover a "New World." People in fact have inhabited the region we now call "New England" for more than 12,000 years. These vibrant and sophisticated societies made use of an abundance of natural resources. Producing ceramic objects like these is a specialized process usually associated with agrarian societies like those of the Native Peoples of the northeast. The designs on these surviving fragments suggest that their makers valued these items for their appearance as well as for their usefulness. Designs were scratched in or imprinted with shells. Pottery was fired in a shallow pit covered with a slow burning fire. Because pottery like this was relatively fragile, it survives mainly as shards.

Tanya Angus, woman who couldn't stop growing, dies at 34
LAS VEGASAs a teenager growing up in Las Vegas, Tanya Angus strutted along fashion runways. She was 5 feet 8 inches, and people told her she had a perfect body.
But at the time of her death Monday, the 34-year-old Angus stood 7 feet 2 inches and weighed about 400 pounds. She was a victim of a rare disorder called acromegaly - or gigantism - that wouldn't let her stop growing.
"'Mom, I don't know why I got it,'" Karen Strutynski recalled her daughter saying. "'But I guess God decided that I could handle it.'"
Handle it she did - by appearing on television specials and in the news, by being vulnerable about a condition that left her face misshapen and gave her chronic growing pains.
Acromegaly is a disorder in which there is too much growth hormone in the body. It's spurred by a non-cancerous tumor that grows on the pituitary gland, and causes growth of bones and organs.
The disorder affected just about everything for Angus. She couldn't pull even the largest of shirts over her head, because she couldn't fit through the collar. She needed specially made shoes, and jewelers stretched her rings to size 20.
"There's nothing made for giants," her mother explained.
Some people judged her daughter, Strutynski said, believing she used a wheelchair because she lacked the discipline to keep her weight down. What they didn't know is that she ate one meal a day, and her medications caused her face to swell.
"People were very cruel until she went into the media," Strutynski said.
After television appearances, Angus became an advocate for those with the disease, corresponding with people from some 60 countries to help them get the treatment they needed.
She saw her mission as helping others get diagnosed before it was too late and the disease got out of control, her mother said.
An autopsy is pending, but Strutynski said it appears Angus died after catching a cold and developing a tear in her big heart.
Her mother plans to keep up Angus' website and continue corresponding with patients struggling to deal with the disease.
"We can't let it end. It's just too important," Strutynski said, her voice cracking. "We can't just let it die with Tanya."

Mass demonstrations in Syria, sometimes violent, began in mid-March. Since then, human rights groups and various governments claim thousands of civilians have been killed by security forces trying to put down the unrest.
The European Union and the U.S. government already imposed economic sanctions on the Assad dictatorship. More might be on the way as EU officials consider joining the American embargo on Syrian oil imports.
Meanwhile, the United Nations sent a team to Syria over the weekend to investigate the government crackdown. And a UN report released late last week suggested Syrian forces may have committed crimes against humanity.
But amid widespread international condemnation of Assad, the Obama administration and various American officials have emerged as among the most vocal critics so far. President Obama even called for Assad to step down and leave Syria earlier this month. And the State Department has been busy building international support for its anti-Assad campaign.
"The United States will continue to work with our partners to turn this growing consensus into increased pressure and isolation for the Assad regime," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a recent press conference, citing European and Middle Eastern governments that had also condemned the Syrian government. "President Assad has lost the legitimacy to lead, and it is clear that Syria would be better off without him."
Clinton urged governments to further isolate the Syrian dictator through economic and military means: essentially, refusing to buy Syrian oil or sell weapons to the regime. She also called on authorities around the world to "get on the right side of history" by turning against Assad while demanding that the Syrian government agree to a "democratic transition."
Among the biggest public advocates of military intervention have been American legislators. U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), for example, suggested a UN-backed "humanitarian" war similar to the NATO campaign in Libya might be a suitable option.
"If it made sense to protect the Libyan people against Kaddafi, and it did because they were going to get slaughtered if we hadn't sent NATO in when he was on the outskirts of Benghazi, the question for the world [is], have we gotten to that point in Syria," he told CBS in mid-June. "We may not be there yet, but we are getting very close."
Tensions have escalated significantly since then.
A sought-after UN resolution demanding international "humanitarian" intervention through military force has failed to materialize so far. But the Russian government's envoy to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, said earlier this month that NATO was already planning a military campaign to overthrow Assad, with the eventual goal of taking down the government of Iran as well.
"The noose around Iran is tightening," he was quoted as saying by Russian state news agency RIA Novosti. "Military planning against Iran is underway. And we are certainly concerned about an escalation of a large-scale war in this huge region."
Citing the potential for devastating international consequences from more war and the lessons learned from Libya, Rogozin said the Russian government would continue to oppose any UN resolutions calling for military intervention. But according to Western officials cited in news reports, blueprints for a NATO attack on Syria have already been drafted.
Meanwhile, Assad said reforms were underway and warned against foreign intervention during a televised statement over the weekend. "Any action against Syria will have greater consequences [on those who carry it out], greater than they can tolerate," he was quoted as saying by Al Jazeera. "First, because of Syria's geopolitical location and second [because of] Syrian capabilities. They know part of it but they do not know the other parts and they will not be able to afford the results."
The Syrian regime continues to claim that there is a "conspiracy" using "armed gangs" to overthrow the government. And many Western analysts agree that there is at least much more to the story than the narrative promoted in the international press thus far.
While the uprising has generally been portrayed in establishment media outlets as a peaceful demonstration being brutally suppressed by a power-hungry dictator, the true situation is obviously not that simple. And when protests began in March of this year, news reports showed that there was indeed another side to the story.
According to Israel National News, at least seven police officers were killed by anti-government forces during the early days of the original protests. Rebels also set ablaze the ruling Baath Party headquarters and a local court.
Security forces responded by firing on the "armed protesters," killing four and injuring dozens more. Many demonstrations since then have indeed been peaceful. But even this month, the Israeli open-source intelligence outfit known as Debka claimed some Syrian protesters were armed with "heavy machine guns" and anti-tank defenses.
Among the outside forces suspected of involvement in the Syrian uprising are Islamic extremist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood and the Hizb ut-Tahrir, which reportedly hope to topple the secular Assad regime. Western powers and Turkey, according to Debka, are also said to be arming and training rebels.
U.S. diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks also show that the U.S. government was secretly funding Syrian opposition groups and even a rebel TV station until at least September of 2010. After the regime became suspicious of the activities, however, a 2009 cable suggested a change of tactics.
"A reassessment of current U.S.-sponsored programming that supports anti-[government] factions, both inside and outside Syria, may prove productive," the U.S. embassy cable from Damascus stated. Anti-Assad groups outside of Syria were also heavily financed by the U.S. State Department as part of what the Washington Post called a "long-standing campaign to overthrow the country's autocratic leader, Bashar al-Assad."
Commentators have raised other important questions about the reality on the ground in Syria, too. One of the most elaborate hoaxes, exposed as a fraud in June, involved a supposed lesbian blogger living in Damascus. The fake stories duped countless media outlets around the world including the Associated Press, the BBC, and many more.
After drawing international attention and news coverage, a post appeared on the blog claiming the "Gay Girl," as the fake character was known, had been seized by the regime. Weeks later the scam completely crumbled as the true author — an American — was exposed. Speculation about the possible involvement of Western intelligence agencies subsequently exploded.
And while there is no doubt that Syrian despot Assad is brutal and autocratic, according to some experts, the deception runs much deeper than the bogus Gay Girl. In fact, the whole public image of what is truly happening in Syria may be wildly distorted.
"Syrians want change," former British intelligence MI6 officer Alastair Crooke, who serves a high-level EU advisor and runs a non-governmental organization in Lebanon, told the EU Observer online newspaper. "But whether Westerners believe it or not, most people in Damascus, in Aleppo, the middle classes, the merchant classes and the [sectarian] minorities believe Assad is the only person who can bring in reforms."
Crooke said the two things Syrians are most afraid of include civil war and Western military intervention. And he noted that outside forces including foreign Islamists and the U.S. government were largely behind the efforts to bring down the Assad regime — often through deception.
Regardless of what is really going on, however, the geopolitical implications of the situation in Syria are monumental. Analysts have speculated that after "regime change" in Syria, the Islamic dictatorship of Iran will be the next target. And since the Iranian regime maintains close ties with the Russian and Chinese governments, the possibility of a wide-scale war that has been contemplated for years becomes more and more plausible.
The Russian government has also maintained relatively warm links with the Assad regime, emerging as one of its main defenders on the UN Security Council. Russia even sold advanced weaponry to the Syrian government, and it possesses a military base in the country.
So, according to observers, the potential for an expanded conflict certainly exists. And Iran would almost certainly be next on the list.
Retired U.S. General Wesley Clark, who served as the Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO until 2000, made an astonishing claim during a 2007 TV interview that would seem to support such a scenario. Clark said that while serving in the Defense Department in late 2001, he learned of a plan to make war on seven nations including Iraq, Libya, Syria and Somalia — and, eventually, Iran.
American analysts have warned for years about the potential danger of an attack on Iran. But even a military campaign against Syria could lead to massive problems.
"Any force used on Syria would be a total shot in the dark, a hope the military under attack will turn on the regime," cautioned former CIA officer Robert Baer, who served in Syria, as quoted by the Center for Research on Globalization. "But when has this ever happened? It didn't with [late Iraqi leader] Saddam or [Libyan leader] Gaddafi."
Where the conflict goes from here remains to be seen. Some European governments have recently said a military invasion of Syria was off the table for now. But with the credibility of governments on all sides — the Syrian dictatorship as well as Western authorities — increasingly under fire, the truth remains elusive.

As protests and unrest continue to spread across Syria, Western pressure including sanctions and even open talk of military intervention is mounting against the regime of "President" Bashar Al-Assad (left).
Numerous sources report that NATO is already plotting an invasion as foreign powers covertly arm Syrian rebels. And some analysts believe military intervention against Damascus would merely serve as a prelude to an attack on Iran.

Maybe someone can help: My Tele-Xenar Compound does not work any more in T and B mode. That is because the shutter blades stay open instead of returning to their normal position, which is shut. I made a careful inspection of the mechanism and I can see no spring whatsoever that I think, should be here to force the rotating mechanism to return to it's place when it is released from the "open" position. With other speeds, the mechanism is actioned by a cam and it works fine. Before considering an expensive two ways overseas shipping to SK Grimes Associates, for a lens I hardly use, could there be someone who could confirm my diagnosis? Thanks!

|Ben Liebenberg/NFL
|Manti Te'o hopes, in the eyes of NFL evaluators, his on-field play overshadows the recent girlfriend hoax incident.
Manti Te'o was considered one of the crown jewels of the 2013 NFL Draft class following a spectacular regular season that saw Notre Dame return to prominence. From his inside linebacker position, the Heisman Trophy finalist led the team in tackles, interceptions and pass breakups, while displaying a dynamic personality that galvanized a team that wasn't expected to compete for a national title in 2012.
The overall effort earned Te'o high marks in the NFL scouting community until a dismal performance in the BCS National Championship Game and an embarrassing girlfriend hoax led to concerns about his athleticism, character and leadership skills. With evaluators suddenly questioning Te'o's game and reputation, speculation is running rampant about his stock plummeting down the charts heading into the NFL Scouting Combine.
Now, while I don't have intimate knowledge of Te'o's background nor his role in the girlfriend scandal, I certainly believe he is a blue-chip candidate based on his play on the field. He is a dominant inside linebacker with exceptional instincts and awareness. As a run defender, Te'o is a run-and-chase playmaker with the ability to read and react quickly. He keys off the movement of the guards and attacks the line of scrimmage with an urgency that is unrivaled in the college game. Although Te'o struggled defeating blockers and working through traffic against Alabama in the BCS title game, he controlled the tackle-to-tackle box well in every other contest that I watched on tape.
In pass coverage, Te'o displays excellent route recognition and ball skills. He quickly reads his keys and anticipates throws in his area by reading the eyes of the quarterback. With seven interceptions and a host of pass breakups during his final season, Te'o has demonstrated the ability to play with discipline and focus in zone. Additionally, he displays enough athleticism and quickness to handle most tight ends and running backs in space, which gives him the opportunity to thrive as a three-down player as a pro.
Now, I'm not suggesting that NFL defensive coordinators will want to use him extensively in coverage on the likes of Darren Sproles or Jimmy Graham, but I do believe he is athletic enough to play a role in sub-packages as a nickel linebacker.
Given his versatility, production and football IQ, Te'o should be a coveted commodity in draft rooms around the league despite the questions about his character following the girlfriend scandal. Here are five potential fits for Te'o in the 2013 NFL Draft:
New York Giants (No. 19 overall pick)
The Giants have been in the market for a playmaker in the middle since Antonio Pierce retired in 2010. While New York has attempted to fill the void with a number of veteran and rookie castoffs, the team needs to invest a high-round draft choice in the position to improve a defense that has underachieved in recent years. With Michael Boley's release leaving the Giants without an impact second-level defender in the lineup, the addition of Te'o would address the team's biggest need. Additionally, it would give the Giants a dynamic linebacker with the capacity to change the game with big hits or critical takeaways. Given Jerry Reese's track record for taking the best player available regardless of need, the prospect of adding Te'o would address an area of concern, while adding a blue-collar player ideally suited to play for Tom Coughlin.
Combine in Indy. More ...
Chicago Bears (No. 20)
Brian Urlacher has been the face of the Bears' defense for over a decade, but it is time for the team to groom a replacement with the veteran's game diminishing significantly in recent years. Furthermore, it is possible that Urlacher will not return to the Windy City based on his status as an unrestricted free agent. Given those factors and the fact that new defensive coordinator Mel Tucker is retaining the Bears' Tampa-2 scheme, Te'o is a viable candidate to roam the middle in Chicago. He possesses the athleticism and instincts to run down the seam in coverage, while also showing the awareness to come downhill quickly against the run. Most importantly, Te'o displays the toughness, physicality and ball skills to thrive in a defense known for punishing opponents and creating turnovers.
Green Bay Packers (No. 26)
The Packers' defense has shown signs of slippage in recent years with A.J. Hawk lacking the speed and explosiveness to roam effectively from sideline to sideline. With Hawk carrying a big cap number ($6.5 million) heading into 2013, it is time for the Packers to find a young, athletic defender with better playmaking ability. Te'o certainly qualifies after totaling nine takeaways (seven interceptions and two fumble recoveries) as a senior. Additionally, he enters the NFL with extensive experience running a 3-4 defense, which will lead to an easy transition into the Packers' scheme. In a division chock full of Pro Bowl-caliber running backs (Adrian Peterson and Matt Forte) and gifted passers (Jay Cutler and Matthew Stafford), the Packers could benefit from the presence of Te'o in the middle.
Baltimore Ravens (No. 32)
The ceremonious departure of Ray Lewis leaves the Ravens with a crater-sized hole in the middle of the defense. The 17-year veteran set the tone with his toughness and physicality and was the heartbeat of the Ravens with his fiery personality. Although Te'o might not be capable of filling Lewis' shoes as a leader, he is a hard-nosed defender with a rugged game that ideally suits the Ravens' persona. Given Te'o's effectiveness playing behind a big, athletic front line, it is hard to find a better landing spot than Baltimore for the Heisman finalist.
Buffalo Bills (No. 8 overall or second round)
The arrival of Mike Pettine as the new defensive coordinator means the Bills will move away from their traditional 4-3, in favor of a hybrid 3-4 that changes looks based on personnel and formations. While the scheme will not appear drastically different on the surface, the Bills' new system places a premium on athletic defenders with instincts, awareness and toughness. Te'o certainly fits the bill as a productive linebacker with exceptional ball skills and football intelligence. With the recent release of Nick Barnett creating a huge void in the middle, Te'o could immediately step into the role of defensive quarterback to solidify the Bills' unit.

Sir Chris Hoy claimed his sixth Olympic gold yesterday in men's keirin, adding to the home nation's medal count and inspiring fanciful ledes, like the following from The Independent:
The knight in navy Lycra pedalled his way past all others last night, securing the crown of Great Britain's most successful ever Olympian in his final Games appearance.
That's pretty neat. Hoy's from Scotland, so the Scots are happy to claim him as their own; Hoy came into the Games as Scotland's most decorated Olympian, and success from other Scots like Andy Murray have made these a very special Olympics indeed. So special, that it's bolstering the always-latent vein of a Scottish independence movement.

Season 1 of The CW's superhero crime-fighting show Arrow was a mixed bag of bad parenting, green eyeshadow and shirtless workouts with Stephen Amell, but the show has overall been a ratings smash for the network and definitely seemed to hit its stride in terms of storytelling by midseason - concluding with a pretty shocking finale earlier this month.
Ever since the show was renewed for season 2, fans have been speculating as to which characters from the comic books might be the next to make an appearance in the show, whether to provide further back-up for Team Arrow or to become the next predator stalking the streets of Starling City and inviting Oliver Queen into battle.
Speaking in an interview with MTV, Arrow actor Colton Haynes responded to questions as to how much he knew about the season 2 story arc, and which new characters fans of the show can expect to see:
"A few of the most important DC characters are going to be coming to Arrow. And quite possibly working in a team together."
Executive producer Mark Guggenheim also teased a couple of new arrivals for season 2, but these ones definitely won't be working on the same team as Oliver. On the contrary, Guggenheim promises two major villains from the comic book series:
"We made no secret of the fact that we subscribe to the Whedonesque model of having a big bad, and in Season 2, we'll actually have two big bads. They'll both be very recognizable names to fans of the comic book. We're really excited about both of them."
Since Arrow is already established as a superhero crime procedural show that takes place in the version of reality as we know it, introducing fantasy or hard sci-fi elements like magic or aliens would probably feel out of place with the tone of the series, so it's likely that characters will be limited to those whose powers don't have a supernatural or sci-fi origin, or will have certain powers and origins rewritten in order to make them a little more down-to-earth. Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment more or less have access to the full roster of intellectual properties within the DC shared universe, but the producers of Arrow are limited by the current movie franchises as to which characters they can feature in the show.
To recap, the show has already featured the Huntress, Helena Bertellini, and currently stars Haynes as Roy Harper AKA Red Arrow, who may end up being the next to join Oliver's small support team. That team currently consists of his bodyguard, John Diggle, and tech expert Felicity Smoak, and he also receives intermittent help (though she is not aware of exactly who she is helping) from legal aid attorney Laurel Lance, who may potentially take on the identity of Black Canary in future seasons. After all, Laurel has already demonstrated an ability to hold her own in a fight, as well as a passion for helping those in need as well as bringing criminals to justice, and her slowly growing sympathy for "The Hood" may eventually push her to embark on a vigilante career of her own.
Talk of "the most important DC characters" will inevitably cause a lot of people's minds to turn to Batman, Superman and other members of the Justice League. Though Guggenheim has expressed enthusiasm for the idea of Batman showing up in Arrow, this is slightly complicated by the number of similarities between the two characters; they're both billionaires with secret vigilante identities who use hard training and clever gadgetry to catch criminals, and have sidekicks to help them out. This could, of course, be used as an interesting avenue through which to explore their individual brands of vigilantism, but after the staggering success of the Dark Knight trilogy and two major Batman video games, it's uncertain whether audiences are ready for yet another incarnation of Batman, or whether they need a break from Batman saturation.
Superman is more or less out of the running, mainly because he's currently being used for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel reboot, but also because we've already had ten years of Smallville in which to thoroughly explore Superman's origins on TV. Guggenheim has previously made some very non-committal comments about Green Lantern possibly making an appearance, so that's another potential candidate to join Oliver Queen's list of allies.
In terms of villains, Deathstroke and Edward Fyers dominated the flashbacks of season 1, and Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) played the role of the season's big bad. Seth Gabel made a brief and very hammy appearance as a drug-dealing version of Count Vertigo, Constantine Drakon came and went extremely quickly in the pilot episode, and Deadshot also made recurring appearances. Daniel Brickwell is one likely choice for a season 2 villain, as is Oliver Queen's obsessive homicidal stalker Carrie Cutter.
Have you got any theories as to which important allies and villains will show up to flesh out the season 2 cast of Arrow? Share your thoughts in the comments, listen to the latest Screen Rant Underground podcast to hear what we thought about the first season, or read our review of the finale.
Arrow will return for season 2 sometime in the fall of 2013 on The CW.

Looking for a simple, powerful logo for a brand called "Serious" (fishing, rock climbing, bird hunting, hiking, etc.). We have no specific direction for the logo but it:
> Should be simple and clean
> Has to look good huge and also be recognizable from 10 feet away when embroidered onto a baseball cap
> Must look good in color and b&w
> Must be distinctive
In other words, what every good logo should be!
What comes to mind is something like the Superman logo (see attached file) but note that it does NOT have to be derivative of the Superman shape or style. That's just the ultimate in simple and recognizable in our opinion.
At a minimum, the logo will be used in various media (video, print, web) and on clothing, both embroidery and screen print.
Logo does not have to have the word Serious. Can be the letter S (we are currently favoring this), maybe "S!" -- you get the picture. Any more than that we're not sure would work, but we're open. For an example, one of our partners would like to see the three words Serious Bird Hunting next to or around the logo -- it should be legible and readable at a fairly small size, as on a rear windshield sticker. This is one of our initial markets.
> Logo will have to appeal to a wide range of folks, from 12 year olds to men in their '60s, women too, at all income levels. Initially, the brand will focus on outdoor sports dominated by male participants.
> Logo will appeal to businesses and consumers, all of whom are similar in that they are passionate enthusiasts about their particular outdoor sport(s).
> Logo should convey strength (bold) and "seriousness," meaning if someone is wearing it or even seeing it the seriousness of the passion is felt and conveyed.
> This all argues for simplicity and timelessness, which to us the Superman logo is.
Color: We're thinking brown and orange (bold outdoor colors), open to others (red no good, feminine colors no good). Logo will have to look good on light and dark clothing. Logo would have to look as powerful in b&w/grayscale.
We envision the logo as an orange triangle/crest/shield with a big brown S and a border around the outside of the triangle, but open to other ideas.
Bottom line: Simple is good (see attached Google Campfire 1 logo).
> No cartoons, clip art, stock images, photos, silly fonts.
> No gradients, shadows.
> No stick figures, silhouettes, people or animals.
> Since hunting mentioned above: No crosshairs, weapons, targets, bullseyes, bullets, bullet holes, etc.
> Logos w/ wings are overdone. Wings also might make the logo look like the Harley Davidson logo, which happens to be orange too.
> Please do NOT rip off another design. Don't think this will be an issue, but if it is the appropriate steps will be taken. We're running this open so other designers can police it and so our input is available to all.
We're told we will require the following formats:
> Print file format - .eps (CMYK)
> Web file format - .jpg, .png and layered .psd (RGB)
> Vector file formats - .ai and .eps (CMYK) at 300 dpi resolution
If you have a Q, pls ask. I apologize in advance if I don't respond quickly. I am the COO of another company so my time can be squeezed.

Hot on the heels of that recent Bouakaze et al. paper on the pigmentation genetics of prehistoric South Siberians, here's another effort featuring the same samples. This paper attempts to further elucidate the origins of these light-pigmented Kurgan nomads.
Our autosomal, Y-chromosomal and mitochondrial DNA analyses reveal that whereas few specimens seem to be related matrilineally or patrilineally, nearly all subjects belong to haplogroup R1a1-M17 which is thought to mark the eastward migration of the early Indo-Europeans. Our results also confirm that at the Bronze and Iron Ages, south Siberia was a region of overwhelmingly predominant European settlement, suggesting an eastward migration of Kurgan people across the Russo-Kazakh steppe. Finally, our data indicate that at the Bronze and Iron Age timeframe, south Siberians were blue (or green)-eyed, fair-skinned and light-haired people and that they might have played a role in the early development of the Tarim Basin civilization.
Christine Keyser et al., Ancient DNA provides new insights into the history of south Siberian Kurgan people, Human Genetics, Saturday, May 16, 2009, doi: 10.1007/s00439-009-0683-0

Want to buy illegal drugs in China? No problem — just go to the wild and woolly Internet here and order a $50 or $100 package of methamphetamines, ecstasy or cocaine. It'll be delivered to your door within hours!
"Our company has delivery stations in every part of China," boasts one Chinese-language Web site, with photos of illegal narcotics it sells. "We offer 24-hour delivery service to your door, and we have long-term and consistent supplies. If you just make one phone call, we'll deliver to your hands in one to five hours."
Another Chinese Web site offers meth wholesale for $19,700 a kilo, or deliveries to your door of smaller quantities in hundreds of cities around China. Even in remote Anhui Province, it delivers drugs in 21 different cities.
All this is completely illegal in China, where narcotics traffickers are routinely executed. But it doesn't seem to be a top government priority, because these Web sites aren't even closed down or blocked. Tens of thousands of censors delete references to human rights, but they ignore countless Chinese Web sites peddling drugs, guns or prostitutes.
Doesn't it seem odd that China blocks Facebook, YouTube and The New York Times but shrugs at, say, guns?
Chinese law tightly restricts gun ownership, but it takes just a few minutes of Chinese-language searching on the Internet to find commercial sites selling, say, an illegal Springfield XD-9 9 millimeter handgun for $1,120. Or a Type 54 semiautomatic Chinese military handgun for $640, or rifles or many more. And that's not all.
"For prices of silencers, contact our customer service department," the Web site advises.
(American gun enthusiasts often argue that we need firearms to protect ourselves from government. But the situation in China suggests that what autocrats actually fear isn't so much people with guns as citizens armed with information and social media accounts.)
In fairness, China is far more sane than the United States about firearms. At least the Chinese authorities don't tolerate gun stores openly selling assault rifles and high-capacity magazines. I invite Chinese journalists to write about the fecklessness of American politicians who make no serious effort to reduce the toll of guns in the United States.
If your interests run in more prurient directions, the Internet here is also chockablock with sex and prostitution. GHB, better known as the date-rape drug, is widely sold with chilling descriptions.
"If she drinks this, she'll be yours," promises one Internet seller, describing it as "obedience liquid." Another says: "Only two pills will send her into a deep sleep, so that however you move her she won't wake up. Afterward, she'll have no memory."
The upshot is that most Chinese won't be able to access this column, but can easily go to the Web to purchase firearms or narcotics.
From afar, Westerners sometimes perceive China as rigidly controlled, but up close it sometimes seems the opposite. There are rules, but often they are loosely enforced, or negotiable.
Yet the authorities choose priority areas where they do keep the pressure on, and one is curbing information that might cause political instability. So the authorities block mainstream social media Web sites and, lately, The New York Times and Bloomberg, after reports about family members of Chinese leaders becoming fabulously wealthy.
It's a tribute to China's stunning economic development that the country now has some 540 million Internet users, more than any other country. It's sad to see current leaders reverting to a tighter vision of the Internet. "How can we develop our skills," one Chinese friend asked me rhetorically, "if we can't even visit some of the most popular Web sites around the world?"
Many Chinese vault over the Great Firewall of China to get to banned sites with a virtual private network or VPN. But, in the last month China, has rolled out new software that interferes with VPNs, even ones used by American corporations to access their internal networks. The government is also trying to crack down on Sina Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter, by making users register with their real names.
These Internet crackdowns annoy many young Chinese, who may not think much about multiparty democracy but do want to be able to see YouTube videos.
My hope is that the new Chinese leader, Xi Jinping, will recognize that China's economic competitiveness and ability to fight corruption depend upon openness. Deng Xiaoping used to compare reform to opening a window, admitting a few flies along with fresh air. During Deng's watch, China embraced potentially troublesome communications technologies — photocopiers, cellphones, fax machines — because they are also indispensable to modernization. So is a free Web.
So to the new Politburo, a suggestion: How about cracking down on Web sites that sell guns and drugs, while leaving alone those that traffic in ideas and information?

We covered the stock market live on Wednesday. You can read a wrap of pre-market actions here and get a compact rundown of today's stock market in Market Snapshot.
4:27 pm | Disney jumps | by Victor Reklaitis
Also after the bell, Disney has been rising following its earnings report, while Pandora has been down hard as investors don't like what they're hearing.
Beyond that Twitter live blog, we've also got our usual After Hours column with all the key after-the-close news. The column will be updated shortly.
4:13 pm | Twitter tumbles | by Victor Reklaitis
Looks like that social curse mentioned earlier is continuing, with Twitter was last down about 11% in extended trading after its first earnings report as a public company.
MarketWatch's is live blogging the Twitter news, including the conference call that's coming up.
So with this live blog winding down now that the market's closed, head over to that blog to get your fix.
4:01 pm | The close! | by Victor Reklaitis
All three main indexes ended lower.
For the Dow and S&P 500, it was a slight retreat, while the Nasdaq's latest pullback was sizable.
Dow down less than 0.1%
Nasdaq -0.5%
3:54 pm | Merck's gains fade | by Victor Reklaitis
On the other hand, Merck has given up much of its gains for the day.
The drug stock -- covered earlier in this live blog -- had been leading the Dow, but now Disney is the top-performing blue chip ahead of its earnings after the bell.
3:52 pm | Nice finish? | by Victor Reklaitis
Perhaps you remember those dark moments, way back at 10:30 a.m. Eastern today, when the Dow was down more than 100 points.
Well, now it's on pace to finish around its session high, perhaps even with slight gains. The S&P 500 is showing a similar positive reversal for the day.
Traders on Twitter are talking about the bounce off the day's lows:
"@chapitomen: @RedDogT3Live Is this a Red Dog reversal in the SPY?" Yup called it out hours ago. Still long $spy so far a nice trade today
— Scott Redler (@RedDogT3Live) February 5, 2014
3:46 pm | More on Twitter | by Victor Reklaitis
Twitter will try to snap a curse for social names:
$FB, $YELP, $LNKD, $GRPN & $ZNGA all dropped after their first earnings reports as public cos. Will $TWTR snap curse? http://t.co/86hCOH3cNc
— Steven Russolillo (@srussolillo) February 5, 2014
3:42 pm | ECB ahead | by Victor Reklaitis
So what's ahead tomorrow?
If you're an investor in U.S. markets, don't ignore the European Central Bank Thursday morning, reports MarketWatch's Bill Watts. He also says:
Most economists expect the ECB to stand pat, but with falling, sub-target inflation stoking fears of deflation and bank lending continuing to shrink, some sort of easing can't be ruled out.
In fact, given that backdrop, a failure to move could prove a modest disappointment for U.S. stocks, said Anthony Valeri, senior vice president for fixed-income research at LPL Financial in San Diego.
3:39 pm | Choppy trade | by Anora Mahmudova
Stocks had a choppy trading session today. They started off lower on weaker-than-expected ADP number and dropped to session lows after the ISM nonmanufacturing survey.
Stocks rebounded from late morning, however failed to follow through the previous day's gains.
About 20 minutes before the closing bell, the Dow was up 11 points, but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were still in red.
3:18 pm | About that jobs report | by Anora Mahmudova
The data that the stock market cares the most is the official non-farm payrolls report due to be released on Friday.
Jeff Reeves writes that this one jobs report will make or break the year.
A focus on the data has been a feature of many earnings reactions this quarter. But more importantly, this cold logic and skepticism is starting to apply to much broader market metrics.
Such as Friday's all-important jobs report.
If ever there was a report that could make or break a market, it is Friday's update on January job creation from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
2:59 pm | Volatility rules | by Anora Mahmudova
The Dow average just dipped into negative territory. Again. Probably for the 7th time today, we lost track. With an hour before the closing bell all three main indexes are in red.
SPX -5 points
Dow -12 points
Nasdaq -20 points
2:52 pm | Smead: the rise of echo-boomers | by Anora Mahmudova
Here is an interesting view about what will drive economic growth in the next several years.
Williams Smead, chief investment officer at Smead Capital Management:
Where Will Future Prosperity Come From?
We are on record as saying that the most exciting emerging market in the world is the US and developed world echo-boomers between the ages of 18 and 37. We have 86 million of them in the US and they are centered at the age when people marry (28) and have kids (29). BCA Research argues that we are on the doorstep of a baby boom.
They believe it will be caused by a subsiding of the meltdown fears of the last five years and the simultaneous explosion of the largest population group hitting its stride. They also argue that echo-boomers seek financial security before child birth and those who assume they won't be major baby producers aren't counting a massive number of kids born to mothers in their 30s.
We believe these echo-boomers will form households soon to include the addition of babies. Babies will likely drive them to purchase cars which fit car-seats and houses with enough space for cribs. It sounds as if everyone believes that Millenials will stay in the inner city, but just wait until their screaming baby keeps everyone awake two nights in a row.
Therefore, affordable and stand-alone housing will most likely become a need. The experience of the late 1970s showed us that meeting needs can overpower price and interest rate concerns in the purchase of a house.
2:35 pm | From MarketWatch radio | by Anora Mahmudova
Adrienne Mitchell reports Wall Street considering economic data and taper talk from two Fed officials.
2:20 pm | Gold rises | by Anora Mahmudova
Gold prices have been rising since the start of the year, as investors who fled riskier assets, such as equities, sought safer havens.
Gold futures closed higher on Wednesday, recouping some of what they lost a day earlier as the U.S. dollar edged lower and U.S. equities traded mostly lower following a weaker-than-expected ADP employment report
1:54 pm | Earnings after the bell | by Anora Mahmudova
We have a sneak preview of what to expect from earnings results after the bell.
It promises to be a busy extended session for tech and media stocks Wednesday with quarterly results from Walt Disney Co. and Twitter Inc., the microblogging platform's first earnings report since going public in November, writes Wallace Witkowski.
1:21 pm | IPOs | by Anora Mahmudova
Current markets have not deterred companies from going public.
Continental Building Products , began trading today under the ticker CBPX. The company priced shares at $14 and raised $165.2 million. Shares jumped 11%.
Two biotechnology companies, however did not do well on their first day.
uniQure N.V. – a small biotechnology company specializing in gene therapy raised $81.9 million after pricing at $17. Shares uniQure fell 4% on debut.
Genocea Biosciences Inc gnca, raised $66 million, pricing shares at $12. Shares took a tumble on debut, falling 5.8%.
1:00 pm | Main indexes still in red | by Anora Mahmudova
The main indexes seem to have stabilized somewhat and are only fractionally lower.
SPX -3 .1 points
Dow -1 .2 point
COMP -8.9 points
12:57 pm | Nicholas Colas: Fed is set to stop QE | by Anora Mahmudova
Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx Group, a global brokerage company based in New York, says the Fed seems set to stop quantitative easing by continuing to reduce the bond purchases.
The Fed is taking off the training wheels and seems to let the market find it direction on its own, even if it means a couple of bruises along the way.
From the market's perspective, there is now a lot of uncertainty: there is a new Fed chief, policy will not be as stable as in 2013.
12:35 pm | Plosser speaks | by Anora Mahmudova
Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser said the Federal Reserve should speed up the taper of its bond-purchase program, suggesting wrapping up the bond purchases before the jobless rate reaches the 6.5% level at which time the central bank said it would consider increasing interest rates.
12:23 pm | "Dow theory" | by Anora Mahmudova
The Dow Theory — the oldest market timing system still in widespread use today — remains on a "buy" signal, writes Mark Hulbert, MarketWatch columnist.
This does not automatically mean that happy days are here again, however. By its very design, the Dow Theory will never catch the exact market top. On the contrary, the market potentially can be a lot lower than its previous high when this market timing system eventually generates a sell signal.
In the meantime, because the Dow Theory presumes that the last confirmed signal remains in force until it is reversed, it counsels patience. That last confirmed signal, of course, was on the "buy" side.
12:19 pm | S&P 500 stars | by Anora Mahmudova
Genworth Financial Inc is the top performer on the S&P 500, after beating earnings estimates. The company reported a 24% rise in profit.
Cliffs Natural Resources is another top performer.
12:05 pm | S&P 500 sectors | by Anora Mahmudova
The S&P 500 index is also trying to break into positive territory. However, most of the main ten sectors are still down. The tech sector stocks are faring better, as one of the biggest components — Apple Inc –is 1% higher.
11:49 am | Up and down and Up | by Anora Mahmudova
I guess this is what they call 'volatility': the Dow average is back in green, up one point.
11:33 am | CHRW fares worst | by Victor Reklaitis
C.H. Robinson Worldwide has been the biggest loser in the S&P 500 today, last down 9.5%.
The transportation and logistics company's quarterly earnings missed expectations.
Don't forget our Movers & Shakers column always looks at the session's jumpiest stocks -- and it's updated throughout the day.
11:30 am | CVS & cigs | by Victor Reklaitis
Investors certainly aren't cheering the big decision by CVS to stop selling cigarettes.
Perhaps that's because the drugstore chain has estimated that it'll lose out in $2 billion in annual revenue.
The stock was last down 1.6%.
MarketWatch is running a poll on this decision, so weigh in here.
And there's also a MW story about how there's a far bigger worry for smokers: Cigarettes can be even deadlier than previously thought.
11:16 am | Fink sees correction | by Victor Reklaitis
Larry Fink, CEO and founder of giant asset manager BlackRock, has been generating headlines in the last few minutes as he speaks on Bloomberg TV.
The market is undergoing an "old fashioned correction," Fink says.
Here's one wag's reaction to Fink:
Larry Fink says everything's going to be ok..
— Median Line Analysis (@JF991) February 5, 2014
11:08 am | Merck details | by Victor Reklaitis
Merck's big news today centered less on the company's fourth-quarter performance, or even its 2014 outlook, and more on a wave of partnerships the firm announced to develop more cancer drugs.
Merck is inking all sorts of deals, reports MarketWatch's Russ Britt.
11:03 am | 3D Systems chart | by Victor Reklaitis
Here's a chart showing 3D Systems' dramatic move today.
The maker of 3D printers was last down 21%, cutting its gain for the last 12 months to 44%.
10:53 am | Cautious comments | by Victor Reklaitis
Market watchers on Twitter today are sounding a cautious note and talking about volatility:
Bottom? No....Increased Volatility? Yes...Tradable? Only for the very aggressive types....Investible? No.
— Ralph Acampora CMT (@Ralph_Acampora) February 5, 2014
@ppearlman Such Light Liquidity today - Just feels like the only bet people want to make ahead of ECB and NFP is buying Volatility.
— Dave Lutz (@macrolutzie) February 5, 2014
10:45 am | Choppy! | by Victor Reklaitis
It's certainly a choppy day.
The Dow now has trimmed its loss after being down more than 100 points.
The blue-chip index is basically around the midpoint of its trading range so far today.
Dow -44 points
SPX -11 points
Nasdaq -48 points
10:38 am | Pullback ending? | by Victor Reklaitis
BTG strategist Dan Greenhaus thinks we're nearing the end of this particular pullback, reports MarketWatch's Barbara Kollmeyer.
He says:
"'Normal corrections,' tend to be anywhere from 5% to 8%, which is basically what we had/are having. If that's the case, and our underlying fundamental views have not shifted (they have not), then stepping into markets down more than 5% should prove rewarding over time," Greenhaus told clients late Tuesday in the "Bedtime with BTG" note to clients.
Read more here.
10:27 am | Dow's drop | by Victor Reklaitis
The Dow has been down by more than 100 points in the last few minutes.
If the blue-chip index ends up suffering another triple-digit drop today, that would be its eighth so far this year.
It has recovered a little, now down 84 points.
10:19 am | Back to session lows | by Victor Reklaitis
Oof. Stocks have slumped to score fresh session lows in recent trading.
So much for that ISM boost.
Dow -60 points
SPX -12 points
Nasdaq -46 points
10:08 am | S&P still down | by Victor Reklaitis
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are holding well off their session lows after that ISM report, but they're still in negative territory.
The Dow had turned positive, but it's now spending time in the red again, wavering around the break-even mark.
Dow -8 points
SPX -5 points
Nasdaq -23 points
10:02 am | Move up on ISM | by Victor Reklaitis
That's a nice move up after the ISM report.
The Dow has turned positive.
10:01 am | ExOne, Twitter | by Victor Reklaitis
ExOne is another stock caught up in that 3D-printing pain, says our short article about tech stocks.
On the plus side in tech land, Twitter is up less than 0.1% ahead of its earnings report after the closing bell.
Read more: Will Twitter ease worries about an overvalued stock?
9:56 am | ISM ahead | by Victor Reklaitis
Beyond the ADP report, this morning will bring an ISM survey of service-company executives, due at 10 a.m. Eastern.
"The ISM survey includes a question on employment patterns that's a good indicator historically about the health of the labor market," says MarketWatch's preview story.
9:40 am | 3D printing pain | by Victor Reklaitis
3D printing plays are down hard today, with 3D Systems off 25% and Stratasys down 11.5%.
Our Dow Jones colleagues who write the Market Talk column report the following:
3D Systems (DDD) gives a 4Q profit warning amid "substantial" R&D spending increases as the printer maker develops new products and boosts sales efforts. "As we previously stated, we are willing to tolerate earnings reduction and even slight gross-profit-margin compression during this period to substantially accelerate our growth rate and market share," says CEO Avi Reichental.
The adjacent photo shows a sample object produced during the "Inside 3D Printing" conference in New York City in April 2013.
9:36 am | Merck leads Dow | by Victor Reklaitis
Merck is up 1.9% for the best performance among Dow components after its quarterly earnings report.
Genworth is leading the way for S&P 500 names.
Read more about today's jumpiest stocks in our Movers & Shakers column.
9:30 am | Opening lower | by Victor Reklaitis
S&P 500 -5 points
Dow -29 points
Nasdaq -18 points
The main indexes got hit hard on Monday, then recovered a little on Tuesday.
9:24 am | ADP weighs | by Victor Reklaitis
A weaker-than-expected ADP employment report -- out at 8:15 a.m. Eastern -- has provided a gloomier tone for the government's jobs report due Friday, notes our column on U.S. stock futures.
ADP said that last month the private sector added 175,000 jobs, the lowest result in five months, down from 227,000 in December and below forecasts. Read more in our story about the ADP report.
9:21 am | Can't decide | by Victor Reklaitis
Good morning.
With about 10 minutes to go before the open, U.S. stock futures can't seem to decide on a direction.
Futures for the S&P 500 are up less than 0.1%, while those for the Dow and Nasdaq 100 are down less than 0.1%.


text: KTMrad 52 Report post Posted October 9, 2012 Oct. 8, 2012 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media contact: James Holter American Motorcyclist Association congratulates U.S. Trial des Nations team PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- Trials is one of the most challenging motorsports in the world, and the annual FIM Trial des Nations championship features the world's best competitors. On Sept. 30 in Moutier, Switzerland, the U.S. men's and women's teams represented America well, finishing sixth and fifth in their respective divisions. Spain, a perennial trials powerhouse, won both the men's and women's divisions. The U.S. men's team, which competed in the International Trophy division, included Cody Webb from Royal Oaks, Calif., Bryan Roper from Glendale, Ariz., Karl Davis Jr. from Ormond Beach, Fla., and Eric Storz from Ventura, Calif. For the U.S. women's team, the competitors were Louise Forsley from Bernardston, Mass., Caroline Allen from Norton, Mass., and Rachel Hassler from Albuquerque, N.M. "The U.S. team did America proud in Switzerland," said AMA Off-Road Manager Chuck Weir. "Trials is enormously popular in Europe, but it is growing quickly in the United States. Our participation in events such as the Trial des Nations plays a key role in that growth by showcasing our riders' talents among the best trials riders in the world. We congratulation Spain on an impressive showing, and we're already looking forward to next year's competition." The U.S. Trials des Nations team was managed by Kip Webb, and Martin Belair served as the delegate to the local FIM affiliate organization. The sport of trials involves riders navigating their motorcycles over seemingly impossible terrain. The Trial des Nations began in Europe in 1983 as a way to bring the best trials riders from each country together to compete as teams, and it has evolved into one of the most anticipated motorcycle events of the year. Each competing country fields two teams: a men's team consisting of four riders and a women's team consisting of three riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PHOTOPHILE- JFK memories: Sorensen lived long enough to tell
Moving slowly to the podium and wearing a thick pair of glasses, the 80-year-old confidante to and speechwriter for John F. Kennedy announced, "Don't worry about my eyesight, folks; I have more vision than the president of the United States."
"So much for the non-partisan spirit," whispered former Virginia delegate Paul Harris, a Republican, in apparent reference to the mission of the host organization, the Sorensen Institute, which trains citizens to become political leaders.
Indeed, what ensued at the Farmington Country Club Monday, September 8– besides some lively JFK-in-Virginia anecdotes and the joys of growing up in Nebraska– was a mix of further attacks on President George W. Bush inserted amid hair-raising, fly-on-the-wall scenes from the Cuban Missile Crisis, when, for 13 days in October 1962, nuclear war loomed.
Sorensen pointed out that hawkish congressmen were urging the president to blast the Russian missile launchers that U.S. spy planes discovered on Castro's island nation, and he admitted that a military strike was very much a White House option– "until we found out from the Air Force that we'd only get half of them and that the other half would wipe out much of the country."
Sorensen claimed that today's presidential advisors gave their commander only one option for dealing with Iraq– unlike the "ExComm," the secrecy-shrouded 14-member group JFK convened to deal with the missile crisis.
Sorensen, speaking to invited guests of the UVA center named for his late benefactor brother, alternated between defending "his president like a Rottweiler refusing to let go of a pant leg," as the Washington Post recently put it, and prompting guffaws (as did his sister, Institute board member Ruth Sorensen Singer, in her introduction).
For instance, the televised address Sorensen wrote for Kennedy did much more than explain the American naval blockade of Cuba. In recent years, Sorensen said, myriad men have approached him "to thank me for making that speech so scary that they could convince their girlfriends it was their last night on earth."
Earlier in the day, UVA Commerce School prof Rob Patterson– who, like the guest of honor, attended the University of Nebraska– screened a video of JFK delivering the famous Houston Ministerial Association speech. There, with words penned by Sorensen, Kennedy navigated another crisis, this one religious, on his way to the White House.
"What an insider's take," exclaimed Patterson after Sorensen's talk at Farmington. "To hear it from the guy himself."
Sean O'Brien, the former director of the Sorensen Institute who now directs the Center for the Constitution at James Madison's Montpelier, said Sorensen reminded him of the nation's fourth president, whose notes of the Constitutional Convention revealed history.
"Like James Madison," said O'Brien, "he lived long enough to tell the whole story."
Note: This story has been amended to reflect the correct date of the event.

VANERSBORG, Sweden, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- A Swedish man who completed a two-month prison sentence walked out of prison without pants or shoes after he was denied money to buy new clothes.
The man, referred to only as Percy in media reports, told officials at the Brinkeberg prison in Vanersborg he had outgrown the pants he was wearing when he was arrested for unlawful driving, The Local reported Thursday.
The prison service said in denying Percy money for new clothes that he had $118 among the personal items he reclaimed upon his release and was therefore able to purchase his own pants and shoes.
Percy said he was unable to send for extra clothes in time for his release because he only learned a few days before he was to be released that his request for the prison to buy him clothes had been rejected. He said the prison offers pants and shoes for sale to released prisoners, but purchasing the items would have left him without enough money for food.
The former prisoner said he was able to find a ride to Trollhattan while wearing only his shirt, underwear and socks. He said he was able to find pants and shoes for a more reasonable price than those offered by the prison.

Most recent feedback from actual LondonTown.com customers
|The room was comfortable. The hotel staff were friendly and always cheerful. The restaurant meals were of a good standard and offered a good variety. Only two things bothered me. On Friday morning the fire alarm went off at 6am which I expected to mean everyone out of the building. It didn't. The reception staff just carried on as if nothing was wrong. Possibly it wasn't. But that's not the point. We'd all evacuated our rooms and I expected more of a reaction from the staff.. The other thing, I know that the hotel was busy but there just wasn't enough staff clearing tables in the dining hall, especially on Friday and Saturday night. But neither of these instances detracted from an enjoyable weekend.

Part of National Museums Liverpool
Also in this section…?
11 June - 30 October 2005
Exhibition now closed
The 1920s and '30s were a time of glamour, elegance and high style. In this major exhibition, Age of Jazz: British Art Deco Ceramics, the Walker Art Gallery showcased the beautiful, the brash and the bizarre.
Featuring ceramics from the Walker Art Gallery's decorative art collections and loans from all over the Britain, the exhibition is the first of its kind in the UK. It includes paintings and a period room setting to recreate the feeling of the period.
Age of Jazz figures
Vase by Shelley
Louis Wain cat
Featuring some top Art Deco manufacturers and designers such as Clarice Cliff, Susie Cooper, Crown Devon and Shelley, Age of Jazz highlights some exceptionally rare objects, a number of which are thought to be the only examples in existence. Pieces made by leading artists of the day are shown next to some of the more cheaply-produced wares which brought a sense of fun to the tea table. The wide variety of fabulous objects include masks, figurines, vases, tableware - all with a range of influences such as Cubism, Modernism, Oriental and Egyptian art.
Highlights include a pair of masks, known today as The Blonde and The Brunette, designed by Susie Cooper. The Brunette is sometimes known as Greta Garbo whilst The Blonde is thought to be a self-portrait of the artist, although Cooper never publicly confirmed it.
Some of the strangest works in the exhibition come in the shape of a series of Cubist-inspired figures by painter of cats Louis Wain. Following his wife's serious illness and subsequent death, Wain became obsessed with cats and was later committed to an asylum.
Examples of the work of designer Clarice Cliff are wide ranging and the exhibition will feature tea sets, vases, tableware and the extremely rare Age of Jazz figures.

In my youth I'd heard about panettone, the traditional Italian fruitcake proffered only at Christmastime. I had pined for a taste but had never laid eyes on what I imagined to be a refined-tasting confection of golden-hued beauty. The weighty whole-fruit- and liquor-filled fruitcakes which Americans consume seemed coarse and common in comparison.
Then I moved to Italy and received a hefty number of panettone, handed out like Christmas cards by each and every acquaintance. Huge slices were presented in every home we entered, every restaurant in which we dined. I thought, 'Wow, they really like their panettone!' After a few years of this ritual, I came to realize that rather than devouring great quantities of the stuff, everyone was, in actuality, trying to unload their extras, re-gifting them to the next friend or stranger they happened upon in a desperate attempt to lighten their own fruitcake burden. While my friends would sing the praises of it - "e' tradizionale, molto buono," they kept repeating - most of them would then admit that they didn't really like more than a couple of slices a year themselves. Because, while the taste is not offensive, nor is it exactly a sensory experience. A few candied fruits and raisins in a high-rise, bread-like, sweetened airy loaf. Kinda boring, really. And the trouble is, everyone keeps giving them to everyone they know, creating a glut in every household.
The other holiday sweet-bread that is available, Pandoro, is better, because you don't have to dodge the candied fruit pieces, and the addition of butter gives it a bit better taste. But personally? I'd prefer a Poundcake. Buttery goodness, real cake texture, and...well, it just tastes darn good despite the cholesterol-raising ingredients (which is, of course, what makes it yummy). But that's the Americana in me.
I do find panettone more edible when made into French toast or slathered with Nutella, because as everyone knows, just about anything tastes better with Nutella. But still; there is only so much of it you can take, and because of the ridiculous, sheer excess we tried to figure out what to do with it, besides actually eating it. Sure, we could resort to feeding it to the pigeons, but we feel a sort of moral obligation to not encourage the flying rats to remain in the centro storico.
One evening, with nothing better to do than contemplate our panettone overload, we came up with a few brainstorms to have a little fun with the stuff, in case you ever find yourself in a similar position.
*Ding Dong Ditch It. You can relive your childhood games while spreading Christmas joy far and wide by leaving your unwanted boxes on the doorsteps of unsuspecting souls, ringing the doorbell and running away as fast as you can. This may best be played in a neighborhood other than your own if you don't want to run the risk of your friends returning the gifts to your own front porch.
*Flame Them. Cut into rectangular sticks and let them sit out to dry. Then dip them in strong booze and use them as fire-starter sticks.
*Have a Treasure Hunt. Gather the little ones around the table and cut the panettone into as many wedges are there are kids. Then let them dig in and get their hands dirty, picking out all the raisins and fruit pieces. The one to find the most treasures wins a prize.

An IRONMAN Athlete Goes from Ditches to Dreams
The story of how a Texas tri shop helped Stacey McKinney turn her luck around en route to Tempe, Arizona.
by Lisa Dolbear
The last few weeks leading up to race day come with many emotions. Will my training pay off? Is the weather going to cooperate? Do I have everything I need? For 44-year-old Stacy McKinney, things got more emotional than usual when she realized her Cervelo P2 (with 808 wheels) had gone missing on the way to IRONMAN 70.3 Austin, her last race heading into IRONMAN Arizona.
The Mesquite, Texas resident realized her bike had fallen off her roof rack in transit. "We stopped for lunch about an hour outside of Austin and I checked to make sure it was secure on the rack before we got moving again. Everything was fine," she recalls. About 15 miles down the road, she noticed the bike was missing. "I screamed when I pulled over the car and realized it was gone. An 18-wheeler came to a screeching halt a few seconds later and told me that my bike was in a ditch at mile marker 277." Despite a thorough attempt to backtrack and find the bike, nothing turned up. She reported it stolen and immediately started to implement Plan B.
A phone call to her regular bike shop, Richardson Bike Mart, set things in motion to get a replacement bike in time for IRONMAN Arizona, but McKinney was certain she'd have to throw in the towel for IRONMAN 70.3 Austin. The tri community, however, had other ideas.
McKinney tried to rent a bike, but quickly learned that everything was sold out. She picked up her packet at the expo, realizing she wasn't going to race. Then McKinney ran into Ahmed Zahar, the head coach and founder of Dallas-based multisport store, Playtri, and everything changed. After telling Zahar her story, he quickly got his staff working to find an appropriate bike and have it delivered to her that same day.
By Saturday night, Stacy had a Kestrel racked and ready to roll. Many triathletes might crumble under the stress of riding a bike for the first time under such high stakes. With only 15 minutes to test the bike on Saturday afternoon, McKinney had no idea how the bike handled or how it would feel after a few hours of riding. As luck would have it, it was raining on race day. "The roads were wet and I saw lots of flat tires and wrecks," she says. "I rode cautiously, and around mile 32 started to feel some pain, but I pushed through and finished strong. I was just so happy to be racing."
Stacy ended up finishing stronger than she even imagined—besting her 2010 time for the same race by 50 minutes. She credits the inspiration she drew from this experience for her success. "People came together to help me and didn't charge me for anything. I realized that all they wanted was for athletes like me to go out there and kick butt, so that's what I did," she says.
And that's what McKinney plans to do in Arizona, too.Lisa Dolbear is a three-time IRONMAN and USAT Level 1 coach. Visit her blog on mental skills training at trimojo.com

Palace pick up a precious point
Crystal Palace gained a 1-1 draw at Leicester which boosted their survival bid and dented the Foxes' outside hopes of a play-off place.
Last Updated: 12/04/11 10:55pm
Sean Scannell broke the deadlock just after the half-hour mark with his first goal of the season, a long-range effort which moved in the air and left keeper Chris Weale, who should have done better, red faced.
Foxes skipper Matt Oakley came to the home side's rescue with a well-taken volley in the 58th minute but a point is not enough for a City side who are playing the chasing game for a top-six spot in the Championship.
Yakubu fired a great chance over from two yards in the second half, but ultimately Leicester lacked the invention and final ball necessary to unlock a stubborn Palace side who played 4-5-1 and countered effectively, with the visitors seeing Wilfried Zaha sent off late in injury time.
Despite the result, the two sides' respective ambitions will be shaped over their next two games, with Leicester going to play-off challengers Reading and Nottingham Forest while the Eagles face relegation rivals Scunthorpe and Doncaster.
Palace boss Dougie Freedman named a surprise starting XI with leading scorer James Vaughan, the influential Darren Ambrose, forward Steffen Iversen and midfielder Kemy Agustien relegated to the bench.
In contrast, Sven-Goran Eriksson named the same line-up who brushed aside Burnley in convincing fashion on Saturday.
But there was very little of that form on show this time around as a cagey opening half-hour passed by without a real chance of note at either end, although there was plenty of endeavour on show with both sides in desperate need of points for very different reasons.
A distinct lack of quality in the final third was evidently clear from both sides, with City's on-loan Fulham striker Diomansy Kamara scuffing the best opening disappointingly wide.
And it was no real surprise to see the game's breakthrough come from 30 yards.
Pacy Palace wide man Scannell ran unchallenged before letting fly with an effort from distance which clearly moved in the air but managed to beat Weale in the middle of his goal.
The Foxes stopper did better to deny Scannell a quick second shortly after before Paul Gallagher sent a free-kick comfortably into the hands of Julian Speroni at the other end.
The closing 10 minutes of the first half were similar to the opening 30, with very little for the 22,303 present to get excited about.
Eriksson introduced Darius Vassell at the interval in place of Gallagher.
The change did little to reverse Leicester's attacking struggles and it took a touch of class from Oakley in the 58th minute to level matters.
A ball into the box was half cleared to the edge of the area and the Foxes skipper latched onto it with a sweet volley which left Speroni with no chance.
Yakubu then missed a gilt-edged chance to put Leicester ahead, firing Vassell's low ball over the bar with the goal at his mercy, although the short pass did come to him at pace.
Patrick Van Aanholt forced a smart stop from Speroni as the Foxes pushed for a winner.
Eriksson threw on Lloyd Dyer and Steve Howard with 13 minutes remaining but Palace, with only one away win to their name all season, held firm despite the late loss of Zaha for an apparent touchline stamp on Van Aanholt.
