Colorado Company Plans Pot-Infused Skin Care Line
(DENVER) -- Lavender, aloe vera, and now, marijuana?
The makers of a new line of lotions promise to light up your skin care routine with a special ingredient: cannabis.
The Denver-based company Appothecanna is taking advantage of Amendment 64, the newly-enacted law that legalizes recreational marijuana use in Colorado. Some varieties of the company's creams, lip balm and body sprays contain cannabis flower oil, which had been illegal due to its high concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC — pot's psychoactive ingredient.
"THC is what people resonate with, and that's what most consumers are looking for when they are buying a product like this," Apothecanna owner James Kennedy told ABC News.
THC-containing industrial products, such as soaps and lotions, are exempted from drug controls as long as the THC does not enter the body, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. And Kennedy claims the pot-infused products, which he refers to as the medicated line, are safe and effective without the side effects of smoking weed.
"Everything is for the skin," he said. "It's not meant to be inebriating in any way. It's added in there to enhance the properties of the other ingredients."
Apothecanna claims the topical products have the potential to relieve pain, but medical experts have not reached a consensus when it comes to cannabis-based skin care products.
"Without definitive data demonstrating efficacy of botanical ingredients such as cannabis, more research must be done to evaluate their utility for skin conditions," said Manhattan-based dermatologist Dr. Joshua Zeichner, an assistant professor of dermatology at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York.
The pot-enhanced products carry a disclaimer that they're "not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease."
Apothecanna produces a separate line of products containing cannabis seed oil, which, unlike the flower oil, is low in THC but high in skin-soothers.
"The seeds of the cannabis plant are rich in nutrients and essential fatty acids," said dermatologist Zeichner. "The oils can help hydrate the skin and improve skin barrier function."
Kennedy said the cannabis seed oil creams do not produce a "high" or show up on a drug test, but claims the "calming creme" can reduce stress and soothe muscles, while the "stimulating" version can firm the skin and energize the mind.
But Colorado residents eager to work more weed into their skin care regimen will have to wait: the cannabis flower oil-based products are only available to medical marijuana patients until retail marijuana stores are allowed to open in January 2014.
Apothecanna plans to promote its products at the Winter X-Games in Aspen, Colorado. A 2-ounce bottle of the extra-strength medicated crème is currently priced at $18.

Fans of Marvel Studios movies generally know to stay to the end of the credits for a bonus scene, one that typically introduces a character or teases the next film in the franchise. The tradition began with Iron Man where Samuel L. Jackson infamously showed up in Tony Stark's (Robert Downey Jr.'s) apartment and name-dropped The Avengers, a moment which laid the groundwork for the future of the franchise.
Every Marvel movie since (with the exception of The Incredible Hulk which moved its scene into the main film) has included some sort of tag/button at the end of the credits, but The Avengers (i.e. the biggest opening film of all time) included two; One during the credits and one special scene added after the credits which didn't play until the film opened in North America on May 4th.
The first button shows up midway through the credits and works to tease upcoming events in the Marvel Cinematic universe. The second scene at the very end however, is there only for pure entertainment value, and it wasn't even shot until after The Avengers premiered in LA. In fact, we only found out about it because Robert Downey Jr. couldn't resist spilling the beans and teasing the extra scene.
So, what are these two scenes, why are there two this time, and how did they come about?
The first scene that shows up after the first section of credits (the part with all the animated weapons/costumes) presents the leader of the Chitauri alien force explaining the failure of their attack on Earth (led by Loki) to a mysterious alien, who turns and smiles at the idea of dealing with The Avengers would be "courting death itself." That alien is of course the previously rumored Thanos and the reason for the smile is that "Death" is actually personified in the Marvel Universe as someone Thanos so desperately wishes to please.
Without getting too deep into the Marvel Comics history of Thanos, this scene, albeit totally confusing to non-Marvel Comics fans, is important as it is likely teasing the villain for next year's Thor 2. We know from Tom Hiddleston's interviews in promoting The Avengers, that Loki and Thor return to Asgard in the Thor sequel and there's a greater villain at play which just may force the (not by blood) brothers to work together. It's likely that Thanos will be coming to get at least one of the artifacts found in Odin's Vault (image below), as shown in the first Thor film. Thanos needs the Infinity Gauntlet and Thor 2 must show him coming to get it. From there, Thanos will show up in Guardians of the Galaxy, a movie which remains unannounced but could come in 2014 or 2015, and if not, The Avengers 2, likely in 2015.
Was Thanos then, a character Marvel forced Joss Whedon to include at the end? Nope. Not at all. In fact, it was entirely Joss Whedon's idea. Marvel President Kevin Feige explained to /Film that their guidelines simply involved aliens attacking Manhattan through a portal - who they were and who sent them was entirely up to Mr. Whedon. He chose the Chitauri army, as we know, but he also chose Thanos as the man behind the curtains so to speak, the one who set the plan in motion and gave Loki his added knowledge.
"He for me is the most powerful and fascinating Marvel villain. He's the great grand daddy of the badasses and he's in love with death and I just think that's so cute. For me, the greatest Avengers was THE AVENGERS annual that Jim Starlin did followed by THE THING 2 in 1 that contained the death of Adam Warlock. Those were some of the most important texts and I think underrated milestones in Marvel history and Thanos is all over that, so somebody had to be in control and had to be behind Loki's work and I was like 'It's got to be Thanos.' And they said 'Okay' and I'm like 'Oh my God!'"
But only the hardcore fans will know who he is, right? How many non-comic-readers knew who Nick Fury was at the end of Iron Man, what that hammer was at the end of Iron Man 2, or what the cube was at the end of Thor? As we explained in our special Avengers edition of the Screen Rant Underground podcast this week and as Kevin Feige reiterates in the interview, it's there to get people talking, to get fans speculating, and to serve as a reminder for when said character does return to the big screen next year or the year after.
As for the post-credits scene that didn't play internationally, it does nothing to setup future films or offer geek-focused Easter Eggs. Instead, it plays off of one of the jokes in the film's final act, as told by Robert Downey Jr's character. EW had a chance to chat with director/writer Joss Whedon and the cast to figure how and why this scene came about and why it was added at the literal last possible minute so it could play in theaters in time for its May 4th North American debut.
For background, during the final battle in The Avengers, a nuke is shot towards Manhattan to ensure the destruction of the invading alien army, but it was shot against the wishes of SHIELD Director Nick Fury and so he notifies Stark that it's incoming. Using the last bit of energy in his armored suit, Iron Man redirects the warhead back through the portal, potentially sacrificing himself. On his collision course back down to the Manhattan streets, Hulk leaps to his rescue (as spoiled by the trailers) and when he regains his consciousness, it's time for a series Robert Downey Jr.-style quips and one-liners, including one about trying out some local cuisine (shawarma), a line that wasn't in the original script as pointed out by Entertainment Weekly who was on set during the time.
Stark was originally supposed to awaken and ask "what's next" but Downey Jr. felt they could do more with the scene and the director agreed. The one line became three pages, but the payoff wasn't there for the shawarma quip. Marvel agreed later, and so after the LA premiere of The Avengers, with the cast gathered, they brought the costumes and had them shoot one scene in a local restaurant (made to look damaged from the battle) where all they did was sit around a table eating.
There was no dialogue at all and the scene was meant to show how tired the six heroes were after the battle. Chris Evans, having short hair and a beard, had to wear prosthetics and covered his face with his arm, and we see all the characters chewing slowly as the mighty Thor dug in for one big bite. It was hilarious and it's the type of scene that works so well with the tone and style Whedon brought to the team-up epic. Now we know why it was added.
If you've seen The Avengers and want to share your thoughts, join our Avengers spoilers discussion. Update: Disney's CEO confirmed The Avengers 2 is in development.
The Avengers stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Clark Gregg, Tom Hiddleston and Stellan Skarsgard. It is of course written and directed by Joss Whedon.

FIJIs Break Ground on New Chapter Houseby Jim Amidon • April 5, 2005 Share:
Two-dozen alumni joined the undergraduate members of Psi Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta as the Wabash College fraternity broke ground on a new chapter house.
The $5.1 million house, designed by Psi Chapter alumnus Jim Riddle '86, captures many of the same architectural elements found on the current chapter house, which was built in 1927.
"We started with a Tudor style to match the traditional architectural design from 1927," says Riddle, who owns his own architecture business in St. Louis, Missouri. "The front has three large gables which symbolize the Greek letters of Phi Gamma Delta and stand for the principles on which the fraternity was founded. It has six large windows in the front which symbolize the six men who established the fraternity. And we worked in a diamond theme throughout the house, so in many ways the physical structure is the embodiment of the fraternity's principles."
The chapter house's capacity will be 65. Riddle points out that the most significant difference is in room size; study rooms will be approximately twice as large as current rooms. "This is exciting because today's college students bring so much with them—computers, refrigerators, stereos; it's not like the time when the fraternity was built and men pretty much came to Wabash with just a suitcase," adds Riddle.
The new fraternity will feature a much larger kitchen, plus a student kitchen that will be open for students to grab a bite 24 hours a day. There are several shared study, conference, and computer rooms, primarily on the upper floors. Central air conditioning and a sprinkling system are welcome additions to the new house, amenities the old chapter house didn't have. "It's amazing how many college students die from faulty wiring and fires on campus," added Riddle. "So while students don't think much about modern electrical and sprinkling systems, the new house will certainly be a much safer place to live."
"This has been a six year labor of love," says Psi Chapter Housing Corporation President Greg Miller '83. "It's so nice to finally break ground on the project that builds on the chapter's history and traditions, but will serve future generations of Fijis."
Miller pointed out that Psi Chapter alumni have raised approximately $2.5 million toward the project's estimated cost of $5.1 million. "We've done a great job of raising funds so far, but we still have a lot to do. We feel like our alumni will be excited about the unique opportunities the new chapter house will provide for the undergraduates."
The house is being constructed directly across Grant Avenue from the Center Hall parking lot. General contractor for the project is Geupel DeMars Hagerman of Indianapolis. Constructed is set to conclude in time for the beginning of the 2006-2007 school year. The project is part of the ongoing Fraternity Partnerships, which are part of the Campaign for Leadership.

("Virgin") (NasdaqGS: VMED) to Liberty Global, Inc. for shareholders. Under the terms of the proposed sale valued at approximately $23.3 billion, Virgin shareholders will receive $17.50 in cash, 0.2582 Liberty Global Series A shares and 0.1928 Liberty Global Series C shares for each share of Virgin stock owned. Based upon Liberty Global's share prices on February 4, the total consideration is approximately $47.87 per share.

Prince William is one of two tall ships used by the Tall Ships Youth Trust (formerly the Sail Training Association). This British charity aims to promote self-confidence, responsibility, teamwork and similar qualities in young people through sailing Prince William and Stavros S Niarchos. The former Sail Training Association was previously equipped with two schooners, Malcolm Miller and Sir Winston Churchill, but these were seen as too old for further use (in terms of accommodation and so on, since the rigs are traditional) and were replaced. As of November 2007 the Prince William was laid up as the trust awaits the sale of one of the two brigs.
The TSYT's ships are two-masted brigs, with the rig designed by Michael Willoughby (his description of the design). The hulls were built in Germany as cruise ships for the West Indies, designed to carry masts and sails and use them from time to time, but not to be serious sailing vessels. This project was cancelled and the part-finished hulls were bought in 1997 by the TSYT. They were then modified by Appledore Shipbuilders to take the strains of a full sailing rig and to improve their sailing properties, including the addition of a new deeper keel holding fifty tons of ballast.
Prince William's rig is designed according to traditional rules, occasionally modified slightly with trainees in mind. The foremast is slightly shorter than the main mast, but they are otherwise identical. Each consists of a steel lower mast and topmast and timber topgallant and royal mast. Spars are steel on the lower and topmasts (course, lower topsail and upper topsail yards) and timber above this (topgallant and royal yards). Access to the tops is by a vertical "jacob's ladder" down to the ratlines, rather than inverted futtock shrouds. There is a gold sovereign placed under the foremast where it meets the keel, a tradition supposed to give the ship luck.

I've been mentally and physically beat up by enough adults to know that there is absolutely nothing more horrid you can say to a kid than, "This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you." The only people who say that are narcissistic sociopaths. If an adult says that to you, you're most likely going to carry whatever scar is left on you for the rest of your life.
I've never said it to my kids, and then few times I've even thought it's been appropriate I've stepped back immediately to reassess the situation, because those 11 words mean someone doesn't have a firm grip on the situation at hand, and that someone is probably me.
Except for today. Today I found the way that something can actually hurt me as the parent more than it hurts him as the kid, and I had to do it. The problem with having all these pre-conceived notions about what is and isn't good or appropriate parenting is that parenting isn't a finite thing. Children change every day, and so do the rules that govern engagement with them.
So, my son messed up. The details of that mess up are not mine to share. (This is why keeping a mom blog for a decade is hard, friends.) No one is dead or detoxing or in jail or pregnant, but there was a mistake made at school. It was pretty big. I found out about this mistake because moms always find out, kids, and I asked about it. When I asked about it - correction, several minutes and excuses after I asked about it, I was handed a piece of paper on which the school had tried to notify me of the mistake 11 full days ago. That piece of paper had been forgotten....um, no, errr, lost...well, um....you know...it was in the WAY BOTTOM of my bag, mom.
I checked. His bag does not have hole in it's heart that goes all the way to China. There is no door to another dimension in the bottom of his bag. His bag is not the 13th Doctor's Tardis.
I have this rule that I've always had in place - if you tell me the truth, and tell it right way, you get in no trouble. This is the most awesomely terrifying rule for kids, because no matter how many times they try it and it works, they will never believe that this time this thing they've done won't land them up shit creek. It's a leap of faith for them, a calculated risk, and I have never faltered from it even when I've re-heally wanted to. I value truth more than I value punishment served for wrong-doing. Coming clean the first time, owning up to your shit, it's hard business. They have to learn to do it, or they'll grow up to be conniving jerks. So I have no earthly clue why, the older they get, the more they try to lie their way out of things. I guess it's just part of being a teenager.
Anyway, we had a problem. I was righteously mad at that problem; mad enough, in fact, to consider laying down some pretty severe consequences. You see, he has this ski trip coming up next week, and even though this child was born and raised in Colorado and then spent 3 1/2 years in Vancouver, he's never once been snowboarding. He's waited his whole life for this trip, and now I had to consider taking it away from him.
But I really didn't want to. I know what this trip means to him. I know how hard he worked to sell candybars and tchotchkes to pay for it. I know that he's dreamed of this his whole life, and I know that I wasn't able to provide it to him even when we lived in two of the greatest places on this continent to do it. It is more than just a trip - it's a lifetime of waiting and wanting and doing without while watching all his friends have and jeez, anything but the trip, you know? I needed a reason, one excuse, to not take it away. I searched. I searched my rational mind and my irrational heart and after long enough, I found it.
I sent him to his room, emailed his teachers, and calmed down a bit. He seemed sufficiently concerned about the situation, he seemed to grasp the severity of the actions that led him to this place, so I called him to me and instructed him to go to school the next day and sort this out with his teachers. He was to apologize for disrespecting them in the way he did that landed him in this mess, and ask them to work with him to find a way to correct the situation and better himself as a student. He was to express his dedication to his education and his respect for the work they do to provide it, and then he was to come home with an action plan. I know this works, because we've done it in the past. He agreed, apologized, promised to do better, and after I took every screen away from that child for the conceivable future, i decided to myself that enough was done to handle the situation, and the ski trip could still happen.
This morning, we rehearsed what he'd say, and I sent him off to school with a hug. And then that child came home today having done not one single thing he was supposed to do. Of course, he didn't tell me that. He distracted me with having remembered to bring his lunch box home today, whee!, like I had forgotten or something. So I asked. Want to know what he said?
"Oh, I thought I could just stop doing that thing I'd done and it would be fine."
So now we have omission coupled with blatant disobedience and to make matters worse? The thing he did to get himself into hot water? HE DID IT AGAIN TODAY.
Since I had already taken away his phone, computer, and TV for like ever, this pretty much left my options as a responsible parent in dire need of getting the severity of the situation through his teenaged skull at:
- Sell him to traveling carnies
- Take the ski trip away
This incident aside, I'm actually quite madly in love with him, so that takes the circus off the table. He's left me with no other option. I have to take the ski trip away. Now, I know this is going to sting. Tuesday at school is going to su-huck nuts for him, when he's in class knowing his snow club is on the mountain. He's probably not going to have the opportunity to snowboard again any time soon - we live in Northern California, and we have five kids. Snow trips aren't exactly in the budget.
He's going to regret this for a long time, but me? I wanted him to have this opportunity so goddamn much. I feel so much guilt all the time for not having been able to provide this for these boys when it was right there in our backyards. I feel so much guilt for so many of the things they had to live without when they were little. I wanted to give them the world, and I never even came close. This was something of a redemption for me. At least one of my kids would step foot on a mountain in winter while they were still kids and know what conquering it felt like. They're Colorado boys; it's in their, in our, blood. And i'm taking it away from him.
This, my friends, is going to hurt me much more than it hurts him.
It is breaking my heart. And I still have to do it.

Cultural Revolution
Cultural Revolution, 1966–76, mass mobilization of urban Chinese youth inaugurated by Mao Zedong in an attempt to prevent the development of a bureaucratized Soviet style of Communism. Mao closed schools and encouraged students to join Red Guard units, which denounced and persecuted Chinese teachers, intellectuals, writers, artists and other
"class enemies,"
engaged in widespread book burnings, facilitated mass relocations, and enforced Mao's cult of personality. The movement for criticism of party officials, intellectuals, and
"bourgeois values"
turned violent, and the Red Guard split into factions. Torture and suicide became common, and it is estimated that a million died in the ensuing purges and related incidents. The Cultural Revolution also caused economic disruption; industrial production dropped by 12% from 1966 to 1968, years that also saw the worst of the urban violence.
In 1967, Mao ordered the army to stem Red Guard factionalism but promote the Guard's radical goals. When the military itself threatened to factionalize, Mao dispersed the Red Guards into the countryside, and began to rebuild the party. The Ninth Party Congress (1969), which named Marshal Lin Biao as Mao's successor, led to a struggle between the military and Premier Zhou Enlai. After Lin's mysterious death (1971), Mao expressed regrets for the excesses of the Cultural Revolution. However, the Gang of Four, led by Jiang Qing, continued to restrict the arts and enforce ideology, even purging Deng Xiaoping a second time only months before Mao's death (Sept., 1976). The Gang of Four were imprisoned in Oct., 1976, bringing the movement to a close.
See R. MacFarquhar and M. Schoenhals, Mao's Last Revolution (2006); F. Dikotter, The Cultural Revolution: A People's History, 1962–1976 (2016).

Prince Charles hummed a few bars of The Beatles song, When I'm Sixty Four, at his Kiwiana-themed birthday party at Government House in New Zealand's capital.
Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae, who shares the same birth date, hosted the prince and 64 other Kiwis who also celebrate their birthdays on the same day, November 14.
The heir to the throne was treated to a Maori rendition of Happy Birthday, followed by the English version.
As he cut his cake, a band played When I'm Sixty Four. The birthday cake was made up of 64 smaller cakes and images on the cake included a silver fern, jandals, hokey pokey ice cream and a tomato squeeze bottle.
Each invited guest will go home with one of the cakes and the prince will get his own slice.
Green lip mussel fritters, whitebait omelettes and kiwi fruit pavlova were also on the party menu.
Earlier, Prince Charles met the royalty of Hollywood on his tour of the movie wizardry conjured at Weta Workshop, guided by multiple Oscar-winners Sir Richard Taylor and Sir Peter Jackson.
He was treated to a sneak snippet of the first film of the Hobbit trilogy and watched as actor Peter Hambleton, who plays Gloin, one of 13 dwarves in the yet-to-be-released movie, had prosthetics and makeup applied.
Earlier, well-wishers sang Happy Birthday to the prince as he and wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, went walkabout on the Wellington waterfront.
They arrived to cheers from the crowd of about 500 and many couldn't resist bursting into song to mark the prince's special day.
Under blue skies, and accompanied by Mayor Celia Wade-Brown, the royals stopped to shake hands and chat with members of the public.
Many of those who couldn't get a spot up close stood on the balconies of nearby buildings in the hope of catching a glimpse of the couple.
Camilla wore a patterned camel-coloured Anna Valentine jacket with a slip dress and a Phillip Treacy hat with an upturned brim.
At the conclusion of the welcoming ceremony, a stirring haka performed by local school pupils echoed across the expansive lawn.
A 21-gun salute was fired and a Royal New Zealand Air Force Boeing 757 did a flyover.
The prince was presented with the New Zealand Armed Forces Award by defence force chief Lieutenant General Rhys Jones and the couple opened a new visitor centre at Government House.

Law Clinic helps secure patent for LithSafe
An invention to make lithium-ion batteries safer if they catch fire has gained a patent, thanks to Wayne State University Law School's Patent Procurement Clinic.
The patent is the first to be granted for an application filed by the clinic, which opened in July 2012.
Wayne Law's patent clinic is the only one of its kind in Michigan and one of only about 25 in the nation officially affiliated with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The clinic is part of the law school's Program for Entrepreneurship and Business Law, which offers free legal services to qualified startups, nonprofits and inventors.
Entrepreneurs Gerry Flood of Birmingham and Ron Butler of Detroit, owners of LithSafe (formerly LithFire-X), first heard about the clinic's services through Detroit's TechTown, a nonprofit business accelerator started by and affiliated with Wayne State University. The men were in the process of developing their business when they contacted the clinic. Their invention, a method of fire suppression for lithium-ion batteries, needed patent protection.
The law students working at the patent clinic liked what they heard about LithSafe's business idea and went to work, starting with a client meeting in January 2013, followed by a comprehensive patentability search. LithSafe's patent application, written by then-student Daniel Samwel, was filed by the clinic in May 2013. Samwel graduated later that year and now is employed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Flood and Butler have developed a network of tubing for fire suppression that connects to the front of lithium-ion battery packs in hybrid and electric vehicles. Butler is a retired firefighter and Flood has a background in insurance, alternative fuels, management and fire suppression systems. The inventors know the built-in problem that comes with lithium-ion batteries. If they catch fire, even after the flame is extinguished, chemical reactions inside the battery continue, creating the potential for an explosive incident, Flood said.
"What we've developed, and now patented, not only puts the fire out, it cools the battery," Flood said.
Said Butler: "The intellectual property protection we've secured is essential to our product offerings. We are eternally grateful to WSU and are willing to go overboard with our praise. Many organizations talk a good game relative to helping small businesses boot up. This program represents the epitome of business incubation. We look forward to the next opportunity to secure a patent."
Wayne Law's patent law students work under the supervision of experienced patent attorneys, including Thomas Helmholdt, the adjunct professor and full-time patent attorney who teaches the clinic.
"It was just fantastic," Flood said. "It got us all set. The work was beautiful. We only had to pay for the drawings and filing fee, and they did all the work."
Helmholdt estimates that the clinic's work on LithSafe's patent saved the client about $10,000. And that means that a new business is better poised to contribute to the economic revival of Detroit.
"Supporting our community is an integral part of Wayne Law's mission," said Assistant (Clinical) Professor Eric Williams, director of the Program for Entrepreneurship and Business Law. "Our location in Detroit and our role as a public institution and resource give the clinic the potential to support urban entrepreneurship and community development in a meaningful way. These kinds of projects are invaluable to students who want to learn how to really practice. And, at the same time, they support development in Detroit."
LithSafe has some corporate customers already and has begun trainings about lithium-ion fires and the dangers involved. And its owners see much more business ahead.
"Our initial move into the battery fire management sector had us dealing mostly with facility safety," Butler said. "Per the request of our customers, we have developed fire suppression and containment interventions for mobile applications (such as battery transport and electric vehicle recovery) as well as stationary applications (such as fixed energy storage and physical battery storage). The patent is one of many we need to pursue as our technologies and methodologies are gaining strong traction in the international marketplace."
Gerry Flood, left, and Ron Butler founded LithSafe and have received a patent thanks to the work of student attorneys at Wayne State University Law School's Patent Procurement Clinic.

Collier and Wright have been running neck and neck for a couple posts now. There were some complaints of possible inconsistencies in yesterday's voting so the fair thing to do seems to be a run off for the 17 and 18 spots. So the winner will be #17 and the loser #18.
32 thoughts on "Reader Top 30 18 – Austin Wright"
I went with Collier here, I still think he has a lot of upside and that he will stick in CF
I also went with Collier as I value a CF above a relief pitcher. Of course, Collier could be no more than a 4th/5th OF. This upcoming season is a big one for him to prove that the later half of last season and the AFL were no joke.
I went with Wright. I like the lefties.
Wright! I have Pullin next then Collier. I want to like Zach but I'm not convinced he will hit enough to be an everyday OF. I'll second that this is a big year for him.
Collier. Same reasons I have posted the last several days.
Pedigree: 1st round (comp) vs. 8th round.
Level: Same.
Age: Collier is a year younger.
Performance: This year it was close, but I give the edge to Collier (taking into account peripherals and park). Looking at previous years, Collier has improved each year and has overcome significant adversity.
Collier's got his flaws (power is a little lacking, may not stick in center), but that's why he made it to 17/18.
Reader Top 30 #17-18 Run off

I smell something.
Let's do the wright thing here
A bit surprised by all the support for Wright this early. A 22 year old in High A with a WHIP of 1.4? If he's a 5th starter or LOOGY, that's eminently replaceable–and it's not clear he'll even be that. Give me the tools.
Went with Wright again
Its a tough choice, I like both. I'll go Wright, only because of the rumblings that Collier's defense isnt good enough for CF.
Same, If collier is not in CF he is almost a non-prospect. Give me the wright and lets see if he can stick as a SP. Even wright in the pen is more value than collier in LF/RF in my regularly humbled opinion..
Collier here. I like how he's advanced given the amount of time he's been on the field. Big year for him coming up.
Voted Wright since I have questions about Collier staying in CF.
With the pitching depth I think the Phillies will move Wright to the bullpen but I hope they keep him a starter as long as possible. He still has 2 years before a 40man decision is needed.
Collier if he stays in CF I think could become a starter. Not sure on his true speed, but I think he could be an average hitter.
Collier here i think he is on the verge of a breakout season and him performing well in a pitchers league is better than a pitcher succeeding at the same league IMO.
Good point
Cozins next, but then I want Justin Friend.
Justin Fiend isnt that good. 26 year old reliever with a lucky 2/3 of a season in AA.
I went with Wright. I don't see Collier being much more than a 4th or 5th outfielder. A possible starter in Wright if all things go well makes me lean towards him.
I didn't think Collier had a good season at all. He was no better than 50 in all the major offensive categories and he was only 36 in SB with a mere 11 bags swiped.
If you are basing his prospect status off counting stats, you may want to consisder he missed the 1st 2 months of the season.
And since we knock other players for stupid behavior are we going to talk about why he missed those two months?
Collier's season was meh. Wonder if he'd be considered this high if he didn't have a good showing in the AFL. We all know how posters love small sample sizes (see T. Greene).
No he wouldn't be considered that high without the AFL performance. Even the Phillies FO, Ruben or Benny Looper I believe, stated that point when they protected him.
It helps that he was a high draft pick so people think the top level talent is there. So when it appears, like in the AFL, it could be a sign off things to come… or a flash in the pan.
I am still hestitant on Collier because I do not think his regular season was that good. But the AFL against higher competition, but a huge hitters league, were excellent. The speed to me will be his distinguishing trait. If he has 70 speed it could be enough to cover his defense in CF and make his average bat (IMHO) play. If his plate discipline is AFL-like and he has above average power he could be an all star OF but that is a lot of projection.
Wright here. Left handed pitchers are always a valuable commodity, and I think Wright may have suffered just a bit from the constant (and understandable) comparisons to Morgan.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- The board of state-owned Israel Military Industries, maker of the famous Uzi submachine gun and one of Israel's leading weapons manufacturers, has approved a long-debated privatization plan that will secure the state an estimated $5.7 billion amid hefty cuts in military spending.
The plan now awaits final approval from Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Defense Minster Moshe Yaalon and Finance Minister Yair Lapid, who are scheduled to meet Oct. 15.
IMI is Israel's oldest defense company. It was founded in secrecy in 1933, 15 years before the state was established, to produce small arms for the Jewish underground army that was then forming.
After the Republic of Israel was proclaimed May 14, 1948, the operation was taken over by the Ministry of Defense to develop assault weapons like the compact Uzi, which has since sold all over the world, and the Galil and Tavor assault weapons, both of which are popular with counter-terrorist forces around the globe.
IMI also produces heavy weapons systems, including main battle tanks, armored vehicles, missile and tactical systems like satellite boosters, explosives, propellants and engines. These include the Merkava tank that's the mainstay of Israel's renowned armored corps.
In 1990, IMI was converted into a state-owned company that manufactures some 350 products, with global distribution, and in the early days employed 4,000 people in dozens of plants around Israel.
The privatization plan was first proposed in 1990. The government finally decided to move on the plan in 2005, but ran into fierce opposition from IMI's employees and the Histadrut, Israel's labor confederation.
"In 2005, there was an attempt at a forced privatization of the company by fait accompli," a source close to the negotiations observed.
"This time, the process is the reverse, in which agreements were reached with all the parties involved."
The final privatization blueprint emerged after months of intense negotiations among company executives, IMI workers' committees and the Histadrut.
The new company will be downsized, with 950 employees, about a third of the current workforce, laid off or given early retirement. Some 1,050 more will be provided with a financial safety net guaranteeing their pensions after the company is sold off.
But some of these could face redundancy under whoever takes over the firm.
Under the plan, IMI will quit the prime real estate it currently occupies at Ramat Hasheron in central Israel in the general conurbation around Tel Aviv, Israel's commercial capital, and move to a new plant in the Negev in southern Israel by 2020.
There it will consolidate state-designated technologies into a streamlined operation that will tentatively be known as "New IMI."
The prospective sale of IMI's current 1,875-acre property is expected to net the government $5.7 billion although some of that will be used to cover IMI's pension obligations that have left it in debt for years.
Imri Tov, a former Defense Ministry budget director who specializes in industrial issues, noted The Defense Ministry will have to shoulder "not insignificant costs" for transferring IMI to the Negev and maintain and operating former IMI units designated as critical technology.
Government and IMI officials have given few hints about what IMI programs will be retained when the company's privatized although the U.S. weekly Defense News says the ministry is "unlikely to relinquish heavy propulsion capabilities developed by the firm's Givon Rocket Systems Division."
But production of the Merkava IV, the latest model now in service, is likely to be cut back under a new strategic defense plan that focuses on building up new unconventional weapons systems to meet future challenges and reducing the strength of armored, artillery, naval and air formations.
Reducing Merkava production will not only hit IMI, but also the 200 smaller component providers involved in the program.
The Israeli business daily Globes reported recently at least 1,500 to 2,000 people linked to the Merkava project faced layoff.
The Defense Ministry had planned in 2006 to discontinue the Merkava line by 2010, but decided in August to maintain production for the time being.
However, given the budgetary constraints and the doctrinal changes in play, it seems likely that production will be at least considerably curtailed at some point even as earlier models are being auctioned along with older aircraft like the Kfir jets built by Israel Aircraft Industries -- now Israel Aerospace Industries -- in the 1970s.

Thanks to Jordan Crawford's last-second shot—that was reviewed and upheld—the Washington Wizards beat the Portland Trail Blazers 98-95. The Blazers got within one by the 2:21 mark in the fourth quarter and eventually tied the game with 3.6 seconds left but Washington would not be denied its ninth win.
Nenê and Martell Webster lead the team with 24 points and John Wall had six points and two assists in 26 minutes off the bench in his sixth game back.
Enjoy the video below, particularly CSN Washington's Steve Buckhantz's double Dagger call of the shot.

Let's take a moment to celebrate new experiences.
I'm talking, of course, about CakeSpy's visit to The Salvadorean Bakery (what did you think I was talking about?).
This is a bakery visit that was a long time in the making. I've heard great stories; I've even sampled some of the goods (including their famous Tres Leches Cake). But until a couple weeks ago, I had never actually visited the retail location.
But oh, I was so glad I did. And you will be, too, when you go.
When you first walk in, you'll be impressed and delighted by the array of baked goods, in a big, beautiful expanse of glass bakery case. In a variety of colors, textures, and flavors, it's fun to take several minutes to decide on your ideal pastry assortment.
Ultimately I settled on a couple of the the Pastelito de Leche, the Sandino de Mango, the Pastel de Crema, and the Maria Luisa de Pina.
The Pastelito de Leche (rice flour cookie filled with sweet Salvadorean style custard), were sort of like sweet, milky custard-filled little empanadas. The crust itself wasn't too sweet but the filling was, which added a nice contrast, and it they were crusted with sugar which made them sparkle prettily in the sunlight (pictured top).
The Sandino de Mango (a cookie filled with mango jam), which were crumbly little morsels held together with a sweet, sticky jam which once again, was a nice contrast to the not-too-sweet dough.
The Pastel de Crema (white cake willed with bavarian creme, and dusted with cinnamon), was probably my personal favorite, with a thick layer of cream on top which kept the cake more moist than the other pastry specimens sampled, and nicely contrasted by the spicy cinnamon for a sort of horchata-esque flavor.
And finally, the so-pink-it-almost-hurt Maria Luisa de Pina (white cake filled with pineapple, topped with meringue), which was good, but a drier sort of cake (not stale--just drier in texture) so a good candidate to be paired with a strong, milky coffee, or ice cream, or both.
Of course, you'd be a fool not to try their specialty, the Tres Leches Cake. Officially, it translates to "Three Milks"--but unofficially, it translates to "Triple Yum".
Moreover, the baked goods were on the drier end of the scale, but as mentioned in the description of the Maria Luisa, this is not to say they weren't fresh. Now, maybe a reader or three can help here, but it seems that many baked goods which have roots in Central America do err toward dryness. Upon looking at several Pan Dulce recipes, it does seem that many of them call for shortening or margarine (or lard!) rather than butter as a primary source of fat--could this be the reason? Or perhaps the fact that in Central America, where coffee is also quite popular, pastries are made drier to pair well with it? (CakeSpy Shrug)

JARA-HPC: Computer Simulation Using High-Performance ComputersCopyright: Peter Winandy
Computer simulations have become the third pillar of research next to theory and experiment. They open up new scientific perspectives that for physical-technical or financial reasons have so far been denied. Researchers of nearly all scientific fields can benefit from simulations: from medical sciences to engineering, information technology and material sciences up to environmental and energy research. Many simulations, however, require the enormous processing power of supercomputers.
High-Performance Computing in the Service of Science and Research
Scientists of the section JARA-HPC– short of High-Performance Computing– unite the specialist know-how of highly parallel computing on supercomputers with the respective special knowledge of physicians, engineers, and other scientific researchers.
In doing so they considerably contribute to making full use of the opportunities computer simulations offer to address current scientific issues. JARA-HPC scientists are part of a unique organizational structure comprising socalled Simulation Laboratories – SimLabs, Cross-Sectional Groups – CSGs, and JADE.
Research into Application
Among other achievements, computer simulations helped researchers of JARA-HPC to improve blood pumps that support the heart of seriously ill patients, and to create a "virtual brain" with which brain scientists can now better investigate and understand interconnections of the real brain.
They have calculated unusual magnetic and electronic properties of materials, leading to the manufacture of novel electronic components or data storage systems on the basis of the knowledge acquired through simulations.
Furthermore, JARA-HPC scientists have developed computer simulations with which the effects of human activities on the biodiversity of meadows and grasslands in the Nationalpark Eifel can be predicted.
World-Class Infrastructure
Researchers of the section HPC have access to supercomputers that internationally excel in performance, in particular via Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC). They are developing application software keeping pace with the constant performance increase of high-performance computers.
Organizational Structure
Scientists of the section JARA-HPC combine the necessary modeling approaches and numerical methods for massively parallel computing on supercomputers in the SimLabs.
There are currently three SimLabs in different scientific disciplines in which users are provided targeted support in the development of new simulation applications and the optimization of previously existing simulation applications:
- SimLab Highly Scalable Fluids & Solids Engineering: Research and support for users in structural and fluid mechanics for the use of massively parallel systems
- SimLab ab initio Methods in Chemistry and Physics: Research and support for users for ab-initio simulations in chemistry, physics, and the natural sciences
- SimLab Neuroscience: Development of models and databases for large network simulations of the brain
The work in the SimLabs is supported by cross-sectional groups. These teams include mathematicians and computer scientists, whose methodological know-how benefits all users of high-performance computers.
- CSG Immersive Visualization: Development of algorithms for immersive, interactive, and spatially distributed and cooperative visualization
- CSG Parallel Efficiency: Development of algorithms to analyze and increase the performance of parallel programs
The JARA HPC Partition is the merger of shares of HPC systems in Jülich – JUQUEEN and JURECA – and Aachen – RWTH Compute Cluster. Main reasons to set up this Partition in 2012 were the guaranteed amount of computing time for projects from the two regional partners on latest HPC architectures, the reduced but highly efficient assignment procedure that fosters scientific excellence, and the requirements of the funding bodies BMBF and MIWF to arrange for larger and more efficiently used HPC infrastructures.
The computing capacity of the JARA HPC Partition is continuously being expanded in order to also offer excellent conditions for work and research with and in the simulation sciences in the future.
The JADE – Jülich Aachen Data Exchange tries to establish a flexible and scalable data management tool that addresses the specific needs and requirements of domain scientists to exchange data between Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen in a convenient and efficient way.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 73 diseños de 27 diseñadores freelance.
Valley High School Ministry
High School age youth group for Community Chrisitan Church on the east coast. Need flyer template that can be updated for monthly synergy (fun) events. Current collateral offerings are boring and tired and do not attract interest or draw the eye. We want something edgy, but clean, that generates visual interest for the content. Have had some success previously with the slogan "events that don't suck." this, or a derivative of this could be incorporated into the new design. It provides a good example of something fun and unusual in church language, that is still interesting and current.
High school students age 14 to 18. Curently we have approximately 120 attendees at monthly events. we have 10 area high schools with thousands of students. Hoping to attract new event attendees.
Hip, current design. Possibly image driven. That can be expanded upon in future flyers. In your face, but still church appropriate. (Avoid profanity, or inappropiate images). Please note that there is a preference for royalty free images that require no additional purchase.
Standard size flyer-8.5x11-no preference on page orientation. multi or full color ok. Assume no bleed on final print, as these are produced in-house monthly.
Typical Synergy event (Synergy does not necessarily need to be incorporated into flyer), is a fun, social gathering with a very brief lifestyle message at the very end.
Upcoming event, which could be used for this design template is the Basketball event in March (Centered around March Madness). March 3, 2010. 7-10 pm. Use any address FPO.
Flyer, like a concert poster, should creatively incorporate time, date and location.
March 3rd event features live music, free food, mini-basketball tournament. Additional activites ourside of the main items listed above are, other active games, a movie room and even available home work assistance.
Please help us present a more professional, edgy design standard tat we can replicate in the future. We are searching for fun new identity that stands out in the decidely low-tech, low budget world of church marketing. we are committed to creating "events that don't suck" and need the design look to promote them.

Helping victims of human trafficking is as simple as talking to a friend. Host an event and invite the community to discuss the exploitation of human beings. At this campaign, we are eager to spread the word and we'd like to talk at any community event about human trafficking and victim identification.
For more information, contact us at email@example.com

-Country Narratives: N-S (PDF)
-Country Narratives: T-Z and Special Case (PDF)
-Relevant International Conventions/Closing Material (PDF)
These are some of the things you can do to help fight human trafficking:
Be informed! Educate yourself about human trafficking by reading about it. Follow events in the news. Keep your eyes open - human trafficking is happening all around us.
Raise awareness! Talk to friends, family and colleagues. You could even start talking to your local politicians and authorities.
Get involved! Participate in an anti-trafficking movement in your area and get involved in its activities and campaigns (e.g. hold events, distribute posters, leaflets etc.) in your neighborhood and in schools.
Encourage businesses! Be a responsible consumer! Inform yourself on the labour policies of companies to ensure their products are free from slave labour and other forms of exploitation. If possible, buy fair trade products.
Seek support! If you suspect that someone has been trafficked report it to the institutions or assistance facilities dealing with human trafficking in your area.
"It ought to concern every person, because it is a debasement of our common humanity. It ought to concern every community, because it tears at our social fabric. It ought to concern every business, because it distorts markets. It ought to concern every nation, because it endangers public health and fuels violence and organized crime. I'm talking about the injustice, the outrage, of human trafficking, which must be called by its true name -- modern slavery."
– President Barack OBAMA

New adidas Commercial Shows Derrick Rose Back On The NBA Comeback Trail
By Barry Janoff
August 16, 2012: When Derrick Rose suffered a torn left ACL in Game 1 of the first-round 2012 playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers, it ended his season and his opportunity to win a gold medal with the USA men's basketball team.
Rose had surgery on May 12, with doctors estimating between 8-12 months before he could reclaim his spot with the Bulls. He appeared in just 27 games during the 2011-12 lockout-shortened season due to other injuries.
But the NBA's 2010-11 MVP has been hitting the training and weight rooms en route to his comeback. All of which has been documented in a new TV commercial from adidas.
In the one minute spot, the Chicago Bulls' point guard is seen injuring himself and being carried off the court. He then is seen in extensive and strenuous workouts, silently played out as text hits the screen.
"D-Rose has redefined the game since entering the league. What's inside him, can't be stopped. From his belief, hope, focus, push and drive, he is all in for #TheReturn. Join this episodic journey documenting his inevitable return to the game. D Rose will rise. Join him."
The only voice comes at the very end of the spot when D-Rose himself states, "I'm all in." (See the full spot here.)
The spot directs viewers to support and follow Rose via dedicated sites at Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, as well Rose's and adidas' home pages.
"Thank-you for all the love and support," Rose posted on his Twitter account. "I feel blessed to have such great fans. Good to be back in Chicago after training all summer in [Los Angeles]."

Details for a major new art installation, going in on the High Line this summer, have been finalized.
Building on the success of Spencer Finch's installation in the Chelsea Market Passage, we're once again partnering with public art superstars Creative Time and the public art wing of the Parks Department. This time, we commissioned a site-specific multi-channel sound piece from artist Stephen Vitiello, entitled A Bell for Every Minute. The piece will be installed in the 14th Street Passage, another semi-enclosed space where the High Line runs through a former industrial building.

This video is helping us ease into our week.
Daniel Turkewitz has woven together a series of shots on the High Line–clouds passing over the Hudson, delicate grasses fluttering in the breeze, sky changing from gold to inky blue, and ethereal images of people as they travel through the park. It's a beautiful, dreamy video.
Happy Monday, New York.

571 Projects in Chelsea is now showing a High Line-inspired work by artist Jan Gilbert. The New Orleans native makes her debut in New York with a piece entitled Sur la ligne/On the line. In the gallery's press release, Gilbert states that the High Line "serves as a superb viewing pedestal of this vibrant, quirky, industrial layer of the city." Her photographic works combine multiple perspectives on views from the High Line, and the images are embalmed in a transparent membrane.

All the snow we've had lately has made us see the High Line's landscape in a new way. Drifting snow changes the shape of the planting beds and pathways. The monochromatic palate of the landscape makes the skeletal forms of grasses, trees and other landscape elements really pop. Railroad tracks retain heat and melt through the snow while the white blanket covers the rest of the beds.
One of our favorite surprises has been the way L'Observatoire's lighting elements interact with the falling snow. Patrick Cullina, our Vice President of Horticulture and Park Operations, shot some footage of snow falling at night. We encourage you to come up on a snowy night to see for yourself — with 2 to 5 inches expected by the end of the day, tonight might be the night.

Now that spring is approaching, our gardeners are beginning the cutback process, which will provide space for new growth during the warmer months. In a traditional garden, plants are cut back when their stalks begin to dry during autumn. In keeping with planting designer Piet Oudolf's belief that a plant's dried seed heads are just as beautiful and important as its flowers, the High Line's vegetation was left in its natural state.

While this week's snowstorm turns brown, slushy, and inconvenient on street level, it's still clean and beautiful up on the High Line. There's quite a bit of snow left–come up and enjoy it this weekend! (Perhaps even make it part of a romantic date on Sunday?)
Weather permitting, we'll be open for regular winter hours, 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM, with the last entry at 7:45 PM. Check our Web site for updates.

Hello to those of you who are using this forum, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you.
When this forum was suggested on "the mailing list" and on the CoCo Facebook group, it seemed to stir up some controversy. The examples of all the forums that tried and failed were brought up. The idea of "dividing the community" was brought up.
However, the idea of this forum was brought up by a few people who saw some potential benefit or merit to it, and it was created with those people in mind. My only regret, is not having more time to spend here.
What defines the "success" of something? Are there "magic" numbers that indicate the success of a forum? Do we need to have X members with Y posts per day?
I don't think so. If two people use this, and it serves any benefit to even two people, then it's serving it's purpose.
Do we already have to post to several places? If you have your own blog, you have to post there, you'd then probably want to promote on Facebook, possibly "the list" and maybe even twitter. Are any of those "divisions"?
I don't know, I think the people who are here already "get it" and I'm not trying to preach to the choir, I guess I just want to say "thank you" for those who are using the forum, and I hope it's providing some form of benefit to you.
CoCo Forever!

Iran's sketches of satire
Satire still thriving, Produced for the book "Sketches of Iran: A Glimpse from the Front Lines of Human Rights", this cartoon by Touka Neyestani is entitled "Forced Confession." Courtesy CNN.
by Sara Mojtehedzadeh, CNN
In 2003, former newspaper editor Ali Reza Eshraghi made a mistake that cost him his freedom: he published a cartoon.
The sketch in question, a drawing from 1937 depicting U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt's pressure on the U.S. Supreme Court, seemed an innocuous choice for the Iranian newspaper, Hayat No.
But Iran's Special Court for the Clergy disagreed. According to Reporters Without Borders it ruled that that the cartoon's depiction of Roosevelt looked suspiciously like the Islamic Republic's founder Ayatollah Khomeini and was insulting to his memory.
The court shut down Hayat No, and Eshraghi spent nearly two months in prison.
A decade later, Eshraghi's friend and former colleague, journalist Omid Memarian, decided to honor the pressures placed on satirists in a book entitled, "Sketches of Iran: A Glimpse from the Front Lines of Human Rights."
The book, published in January by the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, was informed by Memarian's conviction that political cartoons played a unique role in his country's struggle for democracy.
"Over the past ten years I've been working as a journalist both in Iran and out of Iran, and I've seen political cartoons have a very strong impact on political discussions and social discussions," he explained.
"Cartoons communicate with a much wider audience, with different layers of society, with people from different social economic class, with different levels of education."
Shirin Ebadi, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning lawyer, notes in her forward to the book that decades of censorship have also meant that the subtle, tongue-in-cheek wit of cartoonists takes on special power, writing that "a society stricken by years of authoritarian rule cannot express itself and its pains in a straightforward manner."
Satire has long been used as a powerful medium for veiled political commentary and political cartoons became a favorite medium for poking fun at authorities. The satirical magazine "Molla Nasreddin," an Azeri language periodical published between 1906 and 1930 enjoyed a wide readership across the Middle East.
Its main character, a bumbling and backwards cleric often depicted in compromising scenarios, resonated with countries grappling with the thorny issue of modernization -- particularly Iran, where Molla Nasreddin's first year of publication coincided with the Constitutional Revolution, an attempt to reform Iran's monarchy.
The country's first experiment with liberal democracy was ended in 1907, but Molla Nasreddin's jokes lived on inspiring future generations of artists who have used political cartoons to offer subtle social commentary for decades.
"The reasons cartoons... have a very strong presence in Iranian culture is that in some of these cycles of oppression journalists or authors could not write. But cartoonists might find ways to express an idea or in a very delicate way," said Memarian.
Memarian believes cartoons have a unique ability to capture complex political problems in a succinct and visually powerful way, making them universally appealing.
Now, the dynamics of the Arab Spring have bred a new cartoon culture that has moved away from understated critique to direct assaults on authoritarnism.
"The scope for public expression has become much wider" said Lina Khatib, director of the Arab Reform and Democracy Program at Stanford University. "People feel much more empowered in being able to express how they feel about autocracy without the fear which used to force them to opt for subtlety."
Tarek Shahin, author of the graphic novel "Rise: the Story of the Egyptian Revolution as Told Shortly Before It Began," agrees.
"As recently as three years ago just the fact that I wrote about politics and other social taboos had many of my friends and family worried about my safety and theirs by association," said Shahin. "Today you can't keep up with all the political jokes, be they cartoons, internet memes or street graffiti."
Self-expression is finding new forms, too. Dean Obeidallah, founder of the New York Arab-American Comedy Festival and a stand-up comedian who conducts workshops in the Middle East, said he has witnessed an explosion in the number of local comics in the region.
But in Iran, according to Omid Memarian, many humorists have been forced to leave the country.
"Over the past seven to eight years, particularly over the past four years, many cartoonists -- like journalists -- have fled the country and live abroad," he said.
"They are under constant pressure to make sure their cartoons do not become a reason to harm the newspaper...There have been newspaper that have been shut down just for having a controversial cartoon."
Nonetheless, cartoonists in Iran are drawing on their creativity to evade censorship, which Memarian insists makes their work even more powerful.
"We're seeing actions become more ambiguous, more general, more interpretative," he said.
"(But) the process of decoding a message is more attractive. It's more appealing, more beautiful."

Della Francesca Restaurant: Venetian ambiance
DANBURY -- Bougainvillea and ficus trees add the ambiance of a Venetian villa for patrons in the atrium at Della Francesca Restaurant.
Owner/executive chef Johnney Rugovac had murals of Venetian canal scenes on the atrium's walls, inspired by his time in Venice.
The atrium is the latest touch of elegance added to Rugovac's restaurant. Linen table cloths, gold-rimmed china, an intimate private dining room and etched glass in the bar complement the Northern Italian cuisine.
Rugovac said he worked hard to capture the right ambiance.
"Getting people past the blandness of the exterior of the plaza was my initial challenge," he said of the Lake Avenue Extension location.
He was a chef in high-end Manhattan restaurants before co-owning IL Molino's in Fairfield for 10 years. He sold his partnership in that restaurant when he opened Della Francesca in 2008.
He is joined there by chef Nicola Missini and a seasoned waitstaff, with him since the restaurant opened.
Rugovac credits Della Francesca's success to "a marriage" of ambiance, great food, quality service and his passion for what he does.
Holger DeBuhr, of Brewster, N.Y., is a regular coming for dinners three and four times a week.
"Everybody I introduce to the restaurant loves it," DeBuhr said. "Johnney and his staff are very professional in what they do.
"The food is consistently good. I don't like to go out and be told `Oh we can't do that' when I ask for something. You never get that at Della Francesca."
Whether ordering Bronzino, an Italian sea bass oven-roasted and filleted at the table, or sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce, DeBuhr said he is never disappointed.
"We are in the process of infusing our menu with some lighter spring dishes," Rugovac said, "like the chicken payard, a seared chicken breast topped with fresh salad and mozzarella with a light vinaigrette."
Rugovac has recently opened a second restaurant, Lumi, on the waterfront in Stratford.
Della Francesca Restaurant, 35 Lake Avenue Extension, Danbury, is open Monday through Friday 4:30 to 10 p.m. and Saturday to 10:30 p.m. 203-791-2068.

Anja Wrydryck: TM, my miracle
My fybro pains are considerably reduced and my CFS has disappeared as if by miracle
In 1995, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia (thickened is incurable) and for some years, I was also suffering from CFS.
I am not someone who gives up easily, and by surfing on the internet, I found the site of TM.
There I learned that TM could cure fibromyalgia, and that this was even proven scientifically. I didn't hesitate for a single moment to register for the course.
On October 20, 2012 I started with the TM course. And honestly, after 2 weeks, I wanted to give up, because I endured such terrible pains during the first 2 weeks, every fibro point came up, and I felt like a real wreck.
But I have stuck with it and I am rewarded for that now. My fybro pains have been reduced considerably, and my CFS has miraculously disappeared.
Since September, I am following an employee training, which means spending a whole day in a classroom, and in the beginning, I could barely keep myself awake in the afternoon.
Thanks to TM, it doesn't take me any effort anymore to keep up with this training, because my CFS is gone, my concentration has improved, I feel fit all day and my colleagues are saying that I look good and that I radiate something positive.
And that is great, isn't it?
I am very happy that I discovered this miracle (TM). In one month, so much good has been happening in my body and in my mind, it is just too much to put it all in one letter. I have become stronger mentally and I feel indescribably good.
TM is a miracle which I wish wholeheartedly for everyone.
For more questions, you can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Nathalie Keymis: I feel reborn
After one month already, I felt reborn! My pain is completely gone and I feel very happy.
I am Keymis Nathalie and I am 49 years old. I have 2 children and a husband whom I enjoy every day.
Last year I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
This disease is already haunting me for 20 years and it cannot be cured. I went from doctor to homeopath to acupuncturist but nobody could help me.
One day I read on the internet about TM, this seemed very interesting to me. I started with TM in September 2012 and I felt already reborn after just one month! My pain is completely gone and I feel very happy.
I have a lot of appetite for life and I seize the day (carpe diem).
Also my husband who has HSP in the legs can perform better with his activities at the physiotherapist thanks to TM.
This is all thanks to TM.

Who's at our #healthcare house party? @DrBiden! We're having a good time talking abt #howto #getcovered in Dallas: pic.twitter.com/26157mK1iv— MomsRising (@MomsRising) February 19, 2014
Forget the mom jeans. Forget the mom-knows-best TV ad campaign to boost Obamacare enrollment. And for heaven's sake, forget Pajama Guy. How about a mom-hosted house party with an unannounced guest star — Dr. Jill Biden, aka Vice President Joe Biden's wife?
Jill Biden dropped in late Tuesday on about 15 Dallas-area moms gathered at the home of Marie Murray in the middle-class suburb of DeSoto. She was there to kick-start the latest Affordable Care Act enrollment drive with just under six weeks before the March 31 deadline to apply for insurance or risk paying a fine.
Biden, who recently broke her left wrist, held up her cast and told other guests that everyone should sign up for insurance, because "accidents happen!"
"Everyone here knows, if you want something done, ask a mom. So what you're all here tonight to talk about is really important — we all need to sign up for health insurance and get our friends and family signed up, too," Biden said, according to an attendee.
The effort, backed by the group MomsRising, calls for 75-and-counting house parties in states such as California, Florida and Texas. Why those states? They are home to some of the highest rates of uninsured Americans.
In Texas, where Republican Gov. Rick Perry has opted not to expand access to Medicaid or build a state-run marketplace for insurance, an estimated 6.2 million people don't have coverage — about one-quarter of the population. Florida had roughly the same proportion of its population without coverage, about 3.8 million people.
In Los Angeles country alone, an estimated 2 million people lack insurance.
And all three states are home to many Hispanics, a community in which an estimated one in three people is uninsured.
MomsRising spokeswoman Ashley Boyd told Yahoo News that event hosts — dubbed the "Wellness Wonder Team" — are encouraged to have HealthCare.gov "ready to go" and to expect that some of their guests will be uninsured Americans looking for help navigating the website and assessing their options.
MomsRising, which claims a membership of about 1 million nationwide, will help hosts who ask put together their house party, bringing in an expert or pulling in guests through its email list. But hosts can also try to take over an existing social event, according to Boyd. "I'm planning to hijack my book club," she said with a laugh.
For Murray, a native Texan who is the mother of two and grandmother of three, MomsRising helped her invite folks from her area. Regional staff from the Department of Health and Human Services will also attend.
Biden, who has a doctorate in education, is better known for her advocacy on behalf of veterans. And don't look for special guest stars at future house parties, Boyd said. It's not clear whether Michelle Obama, who has taken part in many Obamacare enrollment events, will turn up at one of these house parties.
On the other hand, Biden's husband will deliver a similar pitch when he visits ABC's "The View" next week.
