text: New Outdoor Channel TV Show Follows Montana Game Wardens Brett French Of The Gazette Staff New Outdoor Channel TV Show Follows Montana Game Wardens From Billings Gazette By Brett French Of The Gazette Staff Steve Puppe doesn't want to think about how many hours he has worked on his new television series "Wardens," which follows Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks officers. "I never really figured it out," he said. "I've totally enjoyed it, so the time involved doesn't matter." The program debuts Thursday at 7:30 p.m. on the Outdoor Channel. Puppe's Muddy Boots Productions sold 13 episodes to the cable channel and has plans to do another season or two. "It's going to be a fabulous deal, I think," said Jim Kropp, FWP's chief of law enforcement. "They worked really hard to show the positive side of our work. And I think it will be great for the state of Montana." Kropp said there is no monetary incentive for the state to participate in the show. "We're doing it for the exposure of what we do," he said — and the scenery shots are a great advertisement for Montana. Ride along Puppe rode along with wardens across the state this summer and fall, filming episodes at places including the Tongue River Reservoir on the Fourth of July and policing the annual spring paddlefish-snagging season on the Yellowstone River, north of Glendive. "It's not one specific topic for the whole episode," Puppe said. "Most are two topics. I try to tie them together seasonally." Even though Puppe said he envisioned his show 10 years ago, "Wardens" debuts on the heels of two shows crafted in a similar vein — "Wild Justice," which follows California game wardens and airs on the National Geographic Channel, and the Discovery Channel's "Operation Wild," which follows Florida game officials. Puppe said he filmed his pilot episode with a more "cop-style" feel to it, but abandoned that format after the Outdoor Channel picked up the program. "I didn't feel that was appropriate," he said. "So I put more information in there." Yellowstone patrol Puppe spent two days riding with wardens Paul Luepke, Derek Fagone, Chris Anderson and Justin Hawkaluk on the Yellowstone River as they patrolled the annual Livingston-to-Columbus boat float. Luepke said it was odd at first having his work filmed, but he soon forgot about Puppe's presence and went about his job. Jeff Darrah, FWP warden captain in Missoula's Region 2, helped Puppe film the pilot for the show and worked with him on episodes and reviewed the first three episodes. He said that although he's had folks ride along with him before, it was different having a microphone and video cameraman recording everything. By nature, wardens try to avoid the limelight, he said. "None of us are actors or TV stars," he said. "But everyone has got a show anymore — the exterminator, gold panners — now we've got our turn." Darrah said he was surprised that the hunters he checked in the field were not more paranoid or cautious about being filmed. "They asked what was going on," he said. When he told them, they said, "Oh cool, we'll be on TV." Darrah is hopeful that the shows will give the public a better understand of a game warden's duties. "We don't just write tickets and look for poachers," he said. Renewed respect Puppe said he came away from the first season of filming with a lot of respect for what the wardens do. "The way a warden can turn a situation from bad to good very quickly — even if they got a ticket, people always walked away smiling," he said. "I was very impressed with the staff of game wardens they have in the state." The episodes were carefully planned to highlight certain themes, but there were also unexpected events that kept him busy filming, Puppe said. "One game warden I worked with, he had a great quote. I asked him what's the average day like? He said, 'I don't know, I've never had one.'" Contact Brett French, Gazette Outdoors editor, at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 657-1387.

Precision Work "Made in Berlin".
The proverbial Berlin Air fills the tyres of all BMW motorcycles.
Machining Shop
The foundation of every motorcycle is laid here - in the machining shop. Core engine elements, such as engine cases, cylinder heads, crankshafts and connecting rods, as well as frame elements, tanks and chassis components are produced here. Computer controlled machining centres, designed to offer maximum flexibility, process components with high precision. First class quality is ensured by highly qualified associates as well as state-of-the-art machining and measuring technologies.
Engine Assembly
The main features of the BMW engine assembly are three highly flexible assembly systems and technologically sophisticated test engineering like cold and drive test. Around 150 engine technicians working in two shifts build up to 450 high performance engines with two (Boxer), four and six cylinders from more than 600 different small parts and components every day. Technicians are supported by 21 automatic workstations. It takes around 90 minutes to assemble a Boxer engine and around 160 minutes to assemble an in-line 6-cylinder engine.
Paint shop
Five computer-controlled robots apply paint to several thousand motorcycle components a day. Components can have more than 70 different shapes and and are painted with water-based paint in more than 30 shades. The concept of paint applying facility allows the robots to paint components of different size and shape, processing them in a rather loose order. But in many cases, the skill and dexterity of experienced painters is still required. A steady hand is imperative when it comes to applying the traditional trim lines as well as tape applications to the tanks and side panels.
Motorcycles are fixed on mounting hangers on 300 rotating hooks moving in a flexible conveyor system. In this system, the machines are automatically transported through a 500-meter-long assembly line. Every mounting hook rises automatically to the ergonomically optimal working height at almost 150 assembly stations. All order-related data as well as fastening torques and default settings are conveyed automatically to the particular assembly station. Depending on the model around 220 to 360 minutes elapse before the 2,000 parts and components are built into a complete and customer-ready BMW motorcycle.
By the time BMW motorcycles reach the end of the assembly line, associates have already prepared them in the finishing shop for the dispatch to customers all over the world. Recyclable and foldable steel packing is used for deliveries to the main European markets. For the transport to overseas markets the motorcycles are packed in solid containers made of wood and cardboard. Sustainability and logistical efficiency are considered, so the end products are transported from the Plant to the costumers by truck, train and cargo ship.
Brake Discs
In the car component production about 170 associates produce more than five million brake discs for cars of the BMW Group, ranging from BMW 1 Series to Rolls-Royce Phantom. More than six million brake discs are planned for 2011, approximately 24,000 a day. Besides regular brake discs, lightweight discs are produced with mixed construction methods.

I don't know about you but I can't be trusted around Nutella. I took a trip to Paris a few years ago and I think the 6 or so pounds I gained on that trip is due to the fact that I was helpless to resist the street side windows of creperies and their Nutella and banana crepes.
Nutella + Banana is possibly my favorite food combination.
This recipe makes about 4 cups, so plan accordingly. (Most of this batch is going to friends and co workers.)
Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
10 oz hazelnuts, blanched + skinless
1/4 cup sugar
1 lb bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 stick butter
1 cup cream
pinches of salt
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast about 30 minutes until medium brown. Turn pan once during roasting for evenness. Remove from oven and let cool.
Combine sugar and roasted hazelnuts in the smaller bowl of a food processor and process with the multi purpose blade for 12 minutes of so. Mixture will have to consistency of melted, oily, creamy peanut butter.
Meanwhile, set a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water and melt chocolate. Add butter, stirring to melt and combine with chocolate. Stir in cream. Stir in hazelnut/sugar mixture and salt. While warm, pour into clean jars.
Will keep at room temperature of 4 days or in the fridge for a month.

We are not dealing with rational people. We are dealing with a religious order, and these monks are becoming an increasing danger to Europe's societies and democracies.But few are listening. If you've never come face-to-face with one of these Euro fanatics - lean, humourless, Godless polyps hard with arrogance and righteousness, drawn from the same human stock as selected for hard, dirty duty by despots everywhere - you can't realise the depth of their almost psychopathic idealism, or the extent to which they are willing to endure the suffering of others for their political ends.
They must be defeated. We must defeat them. For our own good, and for that of all Europe.

Angels are a fascinating subject, yet one that rarely is discussed in either church pulpits or religious literature. As a result, on occasion most Christians are left with a gaping void in their knowledge concerning angels, and therefore they frequently turn to the media or other poorly informed sources for answers to their questions about these heavenly creatures. In this day and age, one need not look very far to find a veritable plethora of information on these oft'-misunderstood heavenly sentinels. Sadly, most of this "information" is nothing more than speculation, and thus the sincere querist goes away confused about what the Bible actually says concerning angels.
The word "angel" is the translation of the Greek angelos and the Hebrew malawk, meaning "messenger" (Woods, 1986, p. 179; Girdlestone, 1973, p. 41). Thus, the word actually says nothing about the nature of the being, but speaks instead to its function. The nature of the messenger must be determined from the specific context.
On occasion, the word angel is used of a human messenger (as we ordinarily think of that term). Haggai was referred to as "Jehovah's messenger [malawk]" (Haggai 1:13). God, through Malachi, referred to a priest as "my messenger [malawk]" (Malachi 2:7). And, John the Baptist also was referred to as a "messenger" [malawk—3:1]. Matthew (11:10) likewise called John the Baptist a "messenger" (angelos).
On the other hand, the word angel often is used to speak of a spiritual messenger—that is, one not composed of flesh and blood. In speaking about the word "angel," Guy N. Woods noted:
[T]he term is of varied usage in the Scriptures. Angels are both earthly and heavenly; possessed of flesh, thus men; not of flesh and blood, and hence heavenly beings, and not men. Angels of the latter classification are spirits, incorporeal beings, and thus without the characteristics of men in the flesh (1986, pp. 180-181, emp. in orig.).
Indeed, the Bible refers to angels as "spirits" (Hebrews 1:14), and the Scriptures are explicit in their teaching that spirits have neither flesh nor bones (Luke 24:39). We know that these special messengers cannot marry (Matthew 22:30; see also Kaiser, 1992, pp. 33-38). And, since angels are created beings (Nehemiah 9:6; Colossians 1:16; Psalm 148:2,5), while immortal (cf. Luke 20:36), they are not eternal, for only Deity is eternal and therefore worthy of worship (Revelation 22:9). As Douglas Kelly observed, angels "are immortal, but only the Triune God is eternal" (1997, p. 93).
Angels worship and serve God (Isaiah 6:2-3; Revelation 22:8-9), and in ancient times were able to take on the form of humans as they delivered messages for Him (an angel spoke to Hagar to provide instructions from God—Genesis 16:10-12; an angel told Mary that she would bear the Christ-child—Luke 1:26ff.; angels were mentioned by Stephen in his stirring speech recorded in Acts 7:38,53, which referred to Exodus 19:18-25 where God addressed Moses through an angel during the wilderness wanderings). In some way, angels act on behalf of Christians. The writer of the book of Hebrews commented: "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?" (1:13-14). Eventually, angels even take the spirits of the righteous dead into a state of happiness (Luke 16:22).
In many ways, angels are completely different from humans. The "sons of God" (as Scripture sometimes refers to them—Job 1:6; 38:7) often surpass the "sons of men." For example, they are stronger (2 Samuel 24:16), more intelligent (Daniel 9:21-22), and swifter (Daniel 9:21) than any mere man. Furthermore, they will accompany Christ at His Second Coming, "rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus" (2 Thessalonians 1:7-8). These heavenly beings exist to serve and praise their eternal Creator. Realizing their superiority to humans in certain areas, it is all the more amazing that they so fully devote themselves to God's service while we, who are the apple of God's eye, often fail to serve and obey Jehovah in even the most menial tasks.
Yet, in some respects we humans can relate to angels because like us, angels are intelligent (Daniel 9:21-22; 10:14; Revelation 19:10) and have emotions (1 Peter 1:12—desirous; Job 38:7—joyful). They also possess free will and the ability to reason (Jude 6; cf. 2 Peter 2:4). We know that, like humans, angels are responsible to some kind of heavenly law, for some sinned (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6), and sin is transgression of law (1 John 3:4). Sadly, whenever they sinned, they were beyond the redemptive plan of God, for the atonement of Christ does not apply to them. The writer of Hebrews stated: "Not to angels doth he give help, but he giveth help to the seed of Abraham" (2:16). Yet while rebellious angels were without a redemptive plan, God prepared one for man (Ephesians 2:8-9; et al.). Little wonder, then, that the psalmist asked: "Who is man that thou art mindful of him?" (8:4, emp. added)!
Through the ages, numerous trustworthy and intelligent people have seen angels (cf. Luke 1:11,26ff.; Acts 12:7ff., etc.). Thus, at some point the Lord created them. But when? Truthfully, we have no way of knowing the exact time of their creation since the Holy Spirit has not seen fit to reveal that information to us in God's Word. In his book, All the Angels in the Bible, respected Bible scholar Herbert W. Lockyer observed regarding these heavenly messengers: "But just when, in the mysterious revolutions of eternity, they were called into existence is not a subject of divine revelation" (1995, p. 14). Wayne Jackson noted that there is an "absence of explicit testimony" regarding the creation of angels (1993, p. 208). Both writers are correct. Yet there are some "hints" in Scripture.
For example, we know that angels must have been created on or before the first day of creation, because Job 38:1-7 makes it clear that "the sons of God [i.e., angels] shouted for joy" when God laid the foundations of the Earth (vss. 6-7). This certainly indicates that the angels were present as eyewitnesses to the creation of the Universe.
Thus, the question then becomes, did the creation of angels occur on day one of the Creation week, or at some point before day one? It is important to remember that angels are messengers, thus necessitating someone to whom they could deliver a message. Jackson has suggested that "...a plausible opinion would be that they were brought into existence at the commencement of the creation week" (1993, p. 208). Why might this be so? Lockyer explained as follows:
The heavens include all that are in them created by God, and among these must be the angels (Genesis 2:1). Among the hosts of heaven the angels are the principal part. They are expressly called "the heavenly host" and "the armies of heaven" (Luke 2:13) [p. 14, emp. in orig.].
Nehemiah 9:6 also is used to speak to the very point Dr. Lockyer was making.
Thou art Jehovah, even thou alone; thou hast made...the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things that are thereon, the seas and all that is in them, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
In commenting on this passage, Hebrew language expert Weston W. Fields wrote:
While the passages in Genesis...mention only the making of the firmament, sun, moon, stars, and animals, it must be carefully marked by the reader that in Nehemiah 9:6 the objects of God's making include the heavens, the heaven of heavens, and the earth, and everything contained in and on it, and the seas and everything they contain, as well as the hosts of heaven (probably angels) [1976, p. 61, emp. and parenthetical comment in orig.].
If you combine the passages and concepts discussed by Lockyer, Jackson, and Fields, it seems to allow for a "plausible opinion" that the angels "were brought into existence at the commencement of the creation week."
Some, however, have pointed out what they perceive to be a serious "time problem" inherent in this particular viewpoint. Their suggestion is that if God had created angels on day one of the Creation week, then there would not have been enough time for Satan to rebel against Jehovah and to be cast out of heaven (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6) prior to the events recorded in Genesis 3 (see Gray, 2000, p. 73). But the problem is indeed "perceived" rather than real. How long could it take for the "sons of the evil one" (as Christ referred to them in Matthew 13:38) to engage in their ruthless spiritual quackery and rebel against their Maker? Adam and Eve accomplished it in a veritable heartbeat (Genesis 3:1ff.). Why would it have taken the devil any longer?
Those who contend that the angels were created prior to the first day of the Creation week do not believe that the texts in Genesis 2:1 and Exodus 20:11 are speaking of angelic beings. In his widely used commentary on Genesis, H.C. Leupold wrote in regard to the "host" of Genesis 2:1:
Host may refer to the stars; cf. Neh. 9:6; Deut. 4:19; 17:3; II Kings 17:16, etc. It may refer to angels: I Kings 22:19; Nehemiah 9:6; Psalm 148:2. Here its connection determines its reference to the things just made. Since the creation account has up to this point said nothing about angels, it will hardly be safe to advance the claim that the angels are meant to be included in this term. The time of the creation of angels is as little fixed by this account as falling on this day as it is assigned to the fourth. We simply know nothing definite as to the time of their creation (1942, 1:101).
In this area, it is best not to be dogmatic regarding the time element involved in the creation of angels. Nevertheless, it is comforting to realize that even if we do not know all that we would like to know about certain matters (the "secret things of God"—Deuteronomy 29:29), we do have all the information we need to get to heaven (2 Timothy 3:16).

Fabulous 8.6 From 637 reviews
Great hotel ,fantastic service and excellent location with private beach . Stone throw away from bali collection. Thanks for the anniversary surprise gift . Definitely will come back .
Everything was great for the most part. Hotel staff at the poolside bar needs major improvement. We constantly had to find a server to order drinks and food. Servers we're never found again once they dropped off food and drinks. They should have returned to ask if we would like something else. Servers were always at the bar instead of roaming pool and beach area to ask guests if they'd like something. You could actually improve service and profits if you'd stop standing around and start walking around.
Fabulous place to relax, kids enjoyed poolxarea and water slide a lot, beautiful beach! Definitely great experience and will return
There was a bit of a maintenance issue with the shower clogging and the bath water being brown. But as soon as we brought it to the staffs attention, they fixed it immediately. Everyone was welcoming and the resort and private beach are absolutely beautiful. I definitely recommend staying at Grand Hyatt Bali.
Nice hotel overall with beautiful garden, quiet for family. Staffs are nice. The beach is great. Renovation is needed for the guest rooms. Very good experience for the whole family!

LISP – Locator ID Separation Protocol & IPv6
Cisco Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) is routing architecture that provides new semantics for IP addressing. The current IP routing and addressing architecture uses a single numbering space, the IP address, to express two pieces of information:
- Device identity
- The way the device attaches to the network
The LISP routing architecture design separates the device identity, or endpoint identifier (EID), from its location, or routing locator (RLOC), into two different numbering spaces. Splitting EID and RLOC functions yields several advantages.
Check out this video for a quick review of LISP.
Although LISP was designed to deal with the route scalability problem in the Internet, it turns out is has the capability to help with the transition to IP Version 6 (IPv6), the next-generation Internet protocol.
The transition to IPv6 is an immediate challenge facing Public Sector, and specifically Federal customers today due to Government mandates and impending IPv4 address exhaustion for consumers of Government services.
Because IPv6 is not backward compatible with IPv4, and because its deployment and operation are different from that of IPv4, development and implementation of an IPv6 transition strategy is imperative. Many techniques exist to ease the transition to IPv6, and the network-based IPv6 transition techniques can be divided generally into three categories: dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6, IPv6 tunneling, and IPv6 translation.
Each approach has its features, benefits, and limitations; they are not all equivalent in terms of cost, complexity, or capabilities. Most likely, a combination of these techniques will provide the best solution. The role that the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) being developed by Cisco and the IETF can play in IPv6 transition strategies is documented in this Whitepaper.
Incorporating LISP into an IPv6 transition strategy can simplify the initial rollout of IPv6 by taking advantage of the LISP mechanisms to encapsulate IPv6 host packets within IPv4 headers (or IPv4 host packets within IPv6 headers). For example, you can build IPv6 islands and connect them with existing IPv4 Internet connectivity.

Spain, protected countryside
El Nublo regional park in Gran Canaria
Spain is a privileged destination for its natural resources. Here we propose a visit to six Spanish areas declared Biosphere Reserves by the UNESCO.
If you like the outdoors and the countryside, then you'll love Spain and especially on account of the variety and excellent condition of the ecosystems here. This has been officially confirmed by the UNESCO, as our country has 45 Biosphere Reserve designations. Here we present the six spaces: the Allariz Area in the province of Ourense, the Sierra del Rincón Mountains in Madrid, almost half of the island of Gran Canaria and, in the León region, Los Argüellos, Alto Bernesga and the Omaña and Luna Valleys.
This important international designation means a special level of protection in each area on account of its ecological wealth, but it also means much more. It draws attention to those places where man has managed to establish a harmonious relationship with his environment, becoming an exemplary model of development.
Spain's Biosphere Reserves are places where you'll feel especially close to the beauty and magic of nature. Here you'll find exceptional landscapes, unique species and, furthermore, a range of activities that will help you discover them in the most enjoyable ways. You just have to choose which one.
A good way to get to know any of these areas is hiking. Make use of the network of tracks and trails. Take your time and discover everything from the spectacular contrasts of the island of Gran Canaria to the interesting archaeological remains to be found in the Omaña and Luna Valleys. If you decide to visit the Alto Bernesga area, you should leave time for bird watching - here it is easy to spot endangered species, such as the red kite, peregrine falcon, golden eagle and Egyptian vulture.
There are other ways to enjoy the fun side of nature too. How about exploring the Sierra del Rincón Mountains by bike? You can ride on tracks and trails in this area that will take you to the Hayedo de Montejo, one of Europe's southernmost beech forests. A trip in kayak or on horseback are enjoyable ways to visit the Allariz area. Otherwise, if you prefer something more exciting, you can go caving in stunning places like the Valporquero Caves in Los Argüellos.
These are just some of the options available to discover Spain's Biosphere Reserves. The best thing to do is to enquire in the relevant visitor centres or tourist offices and they will give you all the necessary details.

Marketing and branding shouldn't have one focus. While getting yourself seen on and creating sales through the internet has increased over the last decade, the physical world should not be ignored. Although the return of investment from print advertising has declined, branding through promotional products is still an effective approach for getting seen. Instead of adding your logo and name to any common product, however, consider the items used to promote your business. The items displaying your logo should be moderately associated with your services or products, or they should be general use products that nearly everyone will need.
Finding the right product depends on your industry, as nearly all items can be transformed through an imprinted logo. If your business sells garments, for example, don't go with paperweights displaying your name. Instead, consider an industry-relevant product such as, in your case, garment bags for traveling.
General products, however, can also make an impact, too, but the product displaying your logo should be one nearly anyone can use. Tote bags, mugs, and pens, because of this, are some of the more popular promotional products for all businesses.
While being industry-specific or all-around useful helps with getting seen, part of branding involves a recognizable image. When thinking about the logo displayed on all products and the color of the products themselves, choose shades that can be instantly identified with your brand. Creating promotional products is not an occasion to be unique. Instead, you want to create an item that everyone will quickly associate with your company or organization.
A third factor to consider is the consumer. Who are you targeting? While many promotional products go to the public, your employees or customers can also display your product. For the general public, consider promotional products that can be quickly and easily be distributed. For your employees or customers, think about items that will be useful on a daily basis.

The New England Patriots' defense hasn't exactly been drawing comparisons to Pittsburgh's esteemed Steel Curtain.
The New England Patriots' defense hasn't exactly been drawing comparisons to Pittsburgh's esteemed Steel Curtain.
It's been porous at times, lacking consistency and depending on Tom Brady and New England's offense to offset the lapses. That's a shaky gameplan, especially for Sunday when the Patriots visit the Steelers.
"You really have to take advantage of if they make a mistake, you have to create - with good execution on your side - you have to create your own opportunities," New England coach Bill Belichick said. "They have a very experienced group of players that they've pretty much seen everything they're going to see - big games, situations, schemes."
Belichick made some big defensive changes in the offseason, beefing up the pass rush and adding Albert Haynesworth to the line in order to stuff some inside running lanes.
The adjustment has been slow-going as opponents have put up some Patriots-like offensive statistics, leaving New England ranked last in the NFL in total defense. Yet the Patriots (5-1) lead the AFC East and the defense has been slowly getting better.
Progress was evident in New England's most recent game, when the offense struggled against Dallas and needed a touchdown with 22 seconds left in the game to rally to a 20-16 win over the Cowboys. The defense held Dallas to just six points in the second half, keeping the Patriots close enough that Brady could lead the 80-yard winning drive.
"I think everything is moving forward," said nose tackle Vince Wilfork. "We're in the middle of the season and things we do well, we have to continue to do well. Things we don't do so well but can help us, we need to find a way to make those things happen for us. We're definitely at a situation where we're still building. Everything's not perfect but it's moving along pretty good."
They may want to move it along a little quicker. Pittsburgh's offense is no slouch. Ben Roethlisberger is completing almost 63 percent of his passes for 1,937 yards and 12 touchdowns while leading the Steelers (5-2) to the top of the AFC North.
Haynesworth said the Patriots plan to pressure Roethlisberger, but getting near him and bringing down the 6-foot-5, 240-pound QB are two different matters entirely.
"Even if you hit him, it's not going to mean you're going to take him down," said Haynesworth. "I mean, he's a guy that can break a lot of tackles and get away from the rush. Even if you're hitting him and he's going down, he still can throw the ball. With him you've got to definitely emphasize finishing the rush and finishing the tackle because he can still get away."
New England's three Super Bowl titles are the most of the young century, but Pittsburgh is right behind with two. And both of the Steelers' have come more recently than the Patriots, who have been knocked out in the first round of the playoffs the last two years after dominant regular seasons.
That prompted Belichick's defensive changes, which will get a thorough examination Sunday against the Steelers.
New England's improvement started to really show Oct. 9 against the rival Jets, who gained just 255 yards as the Patriots won 30-21. The Patriots hosted Dallas the following week and for the first time this season, the defense set up the offense to win it.
The Cowboys drove inside the 20 three times, but scored only one touchdown and had to settle for two field goals. The Patriots also forced a three-and-out on Dallas' second-to-last possession, giving New England the ball back at its own 20 with 2:31 remaining - plenty of time for Brady to lead the comeback.
Two strong defensive performances in a row have New England fans hoping the improve continues and will balance the Patriots as Super Bowl contenders once again.
Pittsburgh, which lost to Green Bay in last year's Super Bowl, will be a good indicator.
"We've been a little bit better the past few weeks. I think we're just starting to get some continuity with the guys that we're playing with," cornerback Kyle Arrington said. "We were lawyers comfortable with one another, but just as far as continuity goes, it speaks for itself. We've still got little stuff to work on as far as technique and self-inflicting wounds - stuff like giving up plays that are just on us. It's not good offense. It's just poor technique, poor defense.
"We're still a work in progress."

We could debate whether certain technologies are or are not a commodity, but the fact of the matter is when many enterprises evaluate their technology spend they consider two points: function and cost. This viewpoint yields initial cost savings when technology investements are awarded solely based on price. Unfortunately, a major consideration has been left out when evaluating enterprise technology investments mainly on price. The business risk and increased operating costs associated with multivendor environments, which in the long run may mitigate any initial cost savings.
This message is not new, but what is new is a research paper from Deloitte that details the value of a single-vendor architecture in mitigating business risk and those investing in technology need to consider these risks at the time of evaluation. This paper is a great lead in for the business architecture discussion that will translate to the technical architecture. This paper does two things:
- It supports the single-vendor message from an independent, credible, 3rd party. The results are objective and speak for themselves.
- It highlights the significance of helping IT identify business risk and the impact to their business-level stakeholders.
With a comprehensive collaboration portfolio that addresses the needs of voice, video, desktop applications and customer care. Cisco has the breadth of coverage to deliver the single-vendor solution for collaboration. While this paper is focused on the network, I'm excited how the message can be expanded to cover more then the network. I can sum it up in a single word "convergence". Networks continue to converge and while defining and architecting a converged network takes upfront effort the benefits to the business in the long run are greater. Let's look at a few examples:
- Data Center- always close to the network, which has been predominately a data network. However, cloud and virtualized desktops have added new requirements that cannot be addressed by mere speeds and feeds. As servers move across the globe in a distributed fashion, architecting the network to deliver the same quality of experience to the user regardless of location and device is critical. Extending the single-vendor solution with SAN, application networking services and VXI are key examples of delivering greater value through architecture to additional stakeholders.
- Voice- this convergence is accepted and continues to happen across enterprises. It's not a question of "if" an enterprise will move to VoIP, but rather "when". Bringing voice onto the network requires many considerations, not only around supporting voice and QoS, but architecting to support the full unified communications (UC) offering. Key to this is understanding the processes and requirements of key business stakeholders and implementing an architecture that enables business applications to become communication enabled.
- Video- this convergence is happening today with voice/video call control as part of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Cisco TelePresence has expanded from immersive in-room systems to stand-alone models (EX Series) to desktop with Cisco TelePresence PercisionHD cameras. Video delivers an experience, but that experience is best when properly architected from the network platform to the video end points, which will be hardware and software based.
- Application- in the business environment of today more and more applications are collaboration-enabled. The consumerization of IT and the BYOD phenomena demonstrate the need to support a variety of platforms based on user choice and need. Supporting and adopting open standards and the ability to gateway between different protocols and formats is key to enabling current and future applications to seamlessly fit into an existing architecture. Standardizing applications further reduces the business risk and costs associated with multiple integrations, training and support. Cisco Jabber is a great example of delivering unified communication capabilities to a variety of end-points, across platforms and operating systems.
Many may think of the network as a bunch of boxes that work together to deliver packets and for some network providers that may be the case. For Cisco, the network is a platform- a system that enables convergence of technologies and capabilities across multiple layers of the stack. This system has a set of interconnected architectures that deliver genuine business value in terms of scalability and growth, experience, flexibility, and lowered operational costs. Cisco will continue to emphasize the system and the architecture in delivering greater business value through a single-vendor technology investment.

Radwanska's victory in the grueling final, which lasted two hours and 45 minutes, also gave the 24-year-old world number four her 13th career title.
"After a great match, almost three hours of great tennis at a really high level, of course I'm very happy," Radwanska said after her win.
Pavlyuchenkova, who lost to Radwanska in the U.S. Open last month as well, came back after losing the first three games and saved four set points to eventually win the opening set in the tie-breaker.
Radwanska wrested back control after breaking the third-seeded Russian early in the second set and closed out the match with a break in the 10th game of the deciding set.
"It was a very close match - tight sets, all of them - but I was just a little bit better in the important moments today," Radwanska said.
"And at the end of the third set I think I was playing a little bit more aggressively than she was, and I managed to win a couple more points in the end.
"In the third set I was just trying to fight every point and stay calm, and I'm happy I made it."
Pavlyuchenkova complained of fatigue and jet lag after playing non-stop in the lead-up to last month's U.S. Open but was not too disappointed with the result in Korea.
"It's tough losing this match after fighting so long and coming so close," she said. "It's difficult and frustrating, but in tennis you can be up then down and you lose some and you win some.
"I'm actually proud of myself. I had a great week. I showed some good tennis and it was a great final."

The Taming of the QueenBook - 2015
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Kateryn Parr was madly in love with Thomas when she caught the eye on King Henry VIII. She could refuse neither his attentions nor his marriage proposal, and thus became his sixth and final wife. Her story brought to life the commitment people had to the king; he was considered divine, therefore his decisions and commandments were infallible. They also knew him to be petty and unforgiving; if he felt slighted or even bored, he did not hesitate to order them killed. The debasement they consented to in order to escape his bad graces was profound.
Her story also highlighted her intellect and scholarly work on interpreting the Bible for common people. Great minds were regularly invited to speak to her and her ladies, and they ardently discussed the ideas and the wording to best capture the nuances of meaning. An interesting picture of the times.
I was all but ready to stop reading Philippa Gregory's novels for good, but then I found out that she was writing a novel from the perspective of Henry's last queen; therefore, this would, no doubt, include the death of the tyrant, and I must say I was very impressed. Kathryn Parr was a strong woman but, even she diminished under the chubby palm of this oafish King who buried four wives.
Really enjoyable, and at times terrifying novel about the life of Kathryn Parr, Henry VIII's last wife, during her four years as queen at the court of a king who was unpredictable to say the least. Very good characterization of the main character, Parr herself.
Loved the book.. Philippa Gregory has done a spectacular job in translating historically accurate information into a fiction filled with the anxiety, uncertainty and domination that women (and men) faced under the rule of Henry VIII. Bravo.
Another great historical read by one of my favourite authors. Every time I read one of Gregory's books it makes me unbelievably grateful that I wasn't a woman during this time period. Compelling, well-researched, and hard to put down.
Very accurate. Many quotations in the novel were really said, as well as events. Phillippa Gregory did her homework very well. The story is intriguing; gives one pause on how King Henry VIII ruled his kingdom; the way he treated his subjects and his queens. Interesting chapter in English history. Good read.

Idaho Public Utilities Commission
May 29, 2009
Contact: Gene Fadness (208) 334-0339, 890-2712
Website: www.puc.idaho.gov
Commission approves four rate increases
The Idaho Public Utilities Commission today approved four rate adjustments , which, for most Idaho Power Co. customers, will increase overall rates by an average 13.5 percent. The largest of these is the annual Power Cost Adjustment, which is a 10.2 percent increase over the current overall rate.
The other three adjustments include an increase in the Energy Efficiency Rider (2.25 percent), money for the installation of automated meters (1.8 percent) and the annual Fixed Cost Adjustment (1.3 percent).
The commission is reluctant to approve any rate increases beyond what is necessary, especially during these economic times. However, the commission is convinced the reduced energy use that will result from the Energy Efficiency Rider, the Fixed Cost Adjustment and the installation of automated meters will keep customer rates lower than they otherwise would have been in future years. As it said in today's order regarding costs associated with the automated meters, "… the commission must also keep an eye toward the future and maintain a proactive approach that will best serve long-term ratepayer interests."
Power Cost Adjustment
IPC-E-09-11, Order No. 30828
Every year on June 1, customers receive either a one-year surcharge or credit to rates, depending on steamflows and market conditions from the previous year and a forecast of the following year's conditions.
Idaho Power initially requested an average 11.4 percent increase but revised its request to 10.2 percent after a wet spring. Despite a wetter than normal spring, the overall precipitation for the season is only 81 percent of normal.
The power cost surcharge covers expenses, not already included in base rates, which Idaho Power incurs to provide energy to its customers. These can include expenses related to Idaho Power buying power from the wholesale market or firing up its own natural gas peaker plants during times of high demand. None of the money collected in the surcharge goes to increase company earnings, but can be used only to pay off power supply and related expenses. "We remind customers frustrated by the rate increase that the PCA does not influence Idaho Power's profits," the commission said.
This year is the third-largest PCA in its 16-year history. The methodology used last year to forecast this year's power supply expenses "grossly underestimated" the company's actual expenses, the commission said. A newer methodology used this year forecasts higher costs that should be closer to the actual costs the company will incur in the next year. Because of that, the commission anticipates a decline in the PCA next year even if projected stream flows are below normal.
Because the PCA is high, both commission staff and the Industrial Customers of Idaho Power requested that some expenses be deferred or spread out over the next three years. Commission staff proposed allowing only half of the forecasted amount this year and including the remainder next year. That would have reduced the increase from 10.2 percent to about 6.1 percent. The Industrial Customers proposed the expenses be recovered over the next three years in equal annual installments.
The commission, expressing concern about unknown future water and market conditions, said it was "reluctant to create a situation where customers are required to continue paying costs from this year on top of whatever increases may be required in future years."
Further, the commission said, collecting the full amount in one year assures the financial community that the company is able to recover reasonably incurred power supply costs.
The increase in the PCA is from 0.7864 cents per kWh to 1.4 cents per kWh.
Energy Efficiency Rider
IPC-E-09-05, Order No. 30814
The money raised from the 2.5 percent Energy Efficiency Rider is used to fund up to 20 programs that reduce customer demand on Idaho Power's electric system. That demand reduction reduces the amount of electricity Idaho Power has to buy or generate, saving customers money in the long-run.
On June 1, the rider will increase from 2.5 percent to 4.75 percent of customer bills. The increase in the rider is primary due to a new commercial demand response program and a greater than anticipated participation in the Irrigation Peak Rewards Program, which will be capable of reducing Idaho Power's peak loads in the summer by 200 megawatts. None of the funding from the rider can increase earnings for Idaho Power, but can be used only to fund energy efficiency and conservation programs.
"Rate increases are never popular and are especially unwelcome in difficult economic times," the commission said. "However, the information provided shows that energy efficiency programs have been effective in creating more efficient use of electricity by customers, and in reducing the peak demand on Idaho Power's system. These results mean that higher rates to support construction of new generating facilities have been delayed or avoided altogether."
The rider was created in 2002, after the Western energy crisis of 2000-01. At that time, the commission directed Idaho Power to develop comprehensive demand-side management (DSM) and energy efficiency programs to help customers reduce bills and lessen Idaho Power's dependency on the volatile wholesale market for electric supply.
Energy efficiency programs in 2008 resulted in 107,484 megawatt-hours of energy savings, a 72 percent increase over the 2007 total of 62,544 MWh. DSM programs that reduce demand on Idaho Power's system provided 58 megawatts of demand reduction in 2008 compared to 48 MW in 2007. (One megawatt is one million watts, enough electricity to power about 650 average homes and light 10,000 100-watt light bulbs.)
"By encouraging energy efficiency programs through relatively modest increases in the rider, the commission is delaying, or avoiding altogether, larger rate increases necessitated by Idaho Power's investment in generation resources," the commission said.
The Northwest Energy Coalition and the Idaho Irrigation Pumpers Association filed comments in support of the rider, although the coalition said the amount of the rider is "insufficient to capture all the cost-effective energy savings potential in Idaho Power's service territory and to operate robust demand-response programs to reduce peak generation resource needs." The coalition noted that "using electricity more efficiently is the quickest and least-cost approach to meeting customers' power needs" because it reduces customer bills and reduces loads during peak periods when Idaho Power's system is most stressed.
Fixed-Cost Adjustment
IPC-E-09-06, Order No. 30827
The Fixed Cost Adjustment was implemented in 2007, the first year of a three-year pilot program. The adjustment allows Idaho Power to recover fixed costs it loses when conservation programs result in lower power sales. Without a mechanism like the FCA, utilities have a financial incentive to promote energy sales and they lose money when efficiency and conservation programs are successful. The FCA allows Idaho Power to recover its already established fixed costs through a surcharge when it under-collects fixed costs because of reduced electrical use. Conversely, if the company over-collects fixed costs, customers receive a credit instead of a surcharge, as they did last year.
Idaho Power under-collected $1.3 million in fixed costs from the residential class and $1.4 million from the small-commercial class, necessitating an increase of about 0.0529 cents per kWh, or a 0.82 percent overall increase. However, because last year's FCA was a credit, the net change is 0.0986 cents per kWh or a 1.3 percent net increase.
Advance Metering Infrastructure
IPC-E-09-07, Order No. 30829
Responding to a directive from the commission, Idaho Power has begun a three-year process to replace its existing meters with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) that will eventually allow customers to monitor electric prices and adjust their use to take advantage of lower price-periods.
Idaho Power estimates the project will cost $71 million over its three year phase-in process. In this application, Idaho Power sought the first installment, or $11.2 million for investments made between June 1, 2009, and May 31, 2010, which would have resulted in a 2.22 percent increase.
However, the commission adopted its staff's recommendation to include only costs through 2009, as more representative of the company's actual investment. The resulting increase is 1.8 percent. "We are confident that such an approach will provide the necessary protection to ratepayers and ensure that the company is able to maintain adequate cash flow and access to sufficient capital to maintain a secure financial footing in the midst of the current economic downturn," the commission said.
The Snake River Alliance filed comments supporting the company's application, but acknowledged that the meters' benefits won't be realized immediately. However, "eventual benefits will lead to real energy savings that will benefit all customers … through reduced energy bills and reduced need for additional investments in generation and transmission."
The commission is urging Idaho Power to "move forward with all deliberate speed" with installation beginning this year in the Boise area, then in 2010 in the Canyon and Payette regions and, finally, in 2011 in the Magic Valley, Pocatello and Salmon areas. Idaho Power is pursing federal stimulus dollars to help fund the project, which could eventually reduce ratepayer costs.
The orders in all four of these cases are final, but interested persons may file Petitions for Reconsideration through June 19. Petitions must state specifically why the petitioner contends an order is unreasonable, unlawful or erroneous. Petitions should include a statement of the nature and quantity of evidence the petitioner will offer if reconsideration is granted.
Petitions can be delivered to the commission at 472 W. Washington St. in Boise, mailed to P.O. Box 83720, Boise, ID, 83720-0074, or faxed to 208-334-3762.

Meetings help Tigers accomplish offseason retooling

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The makeover of the Tigers offense began well before the Winter Meetings. It reached its pinnacle here.
With the signing of veteran speedster Rajai Davis, the Tigers continued their shift from a power-centered lineup, whose runners often plodded around the bases, to a more diverse offense that has multiple routes to runs against tough pitchers.
"I like the idea of being multi-dimensional," Tigers team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski said.
Offensively, it's unquestioned. Even before Davis was on board as the right-handed-hitting part of a left-field mix, the Tigers were going to field a different offense than the one that led the Majors in hitting and finished second in OPS and runs scored in 2013. That's the price they paid for shedding Prince Fielder's contract and watching Jhonny Peralta and Omar Infante hit free agency.
What they're hoping is that it's also a different offense than the one that was shut out 14 times, including twice in the playoffs, and experienced seven 1-0 losses. They'll take fewer runs on the year, if they can find those runs more consistently from game to game.
Davis is a small step to that, but represents what they're trying to do.
In Baserunning Runs, a metric designed to quantify the value of baserunning efficiency, Davis finished second only to Jacoby Ellsbury among Major League players, even though Davis wasn't an everyday player. As Fangraphs' Dave Cameron pointed out, his plus-42 rating in Baserunning Runs since his arrival in 2006 ranks eighth among all big league players in that span, even though Davis has had 500 plate appearances in only one of those seasons.
Not all the metrics are kind. His 1.2 Wins Above Replacement ranked rather low, yet still marked his highest total since 2009. Put him into the right situations, however, largely avoiding right-handed pitchers and primarily platooning him in one position, and he has the chance to provide the kind of situational boost the Tigers enjoyed with Ryan Raburn and Marcus Thames.
"The home run is not the only way to score runs in baseball," new manager Brad Ausmus said. "You can do it through the 'small ball,' you can do it through home runs, you can do it through a combination. It's a little different, but I still think a potent offense."
Ausmus wants to foster that type of aggressive mentality, not just in Davis but other baserunners. He wants to give baserunners a green light to steal in Spring Training to try to get them to think about the extra base, bucking the club's tradition of focusing on hitting in the spring and limiting injury risk.
With that, a busy offseason that included a managerial change, an All-Star traded and a starter dealt is poised to finally slow down.
"We accomplished what we wanted," Dombrowski said before leaving the Winter Meetings. "You look at the wintertime overall, and we've been real happy with what we've done. Really, our positional players are basically set, not that you can't always get better. Our starting rotation is set with a little bit of depth there. Our bullpen, we're looking for maybe another arm, but I don't mean a high-profile, closer-type arm. So we're happy with what's taken place."
Deals done: Signed Davis to a two-year, $10 million contract. Agreed to terms with reliever Joba Chamberlain on one-year deal.
Rule 5 Draft activity: Detroit didn't have a Rule 5 selection, having no room on its 40-man roster. The Tigers lost nobody in the Major League portion, but lost catcher Adolfo Reina and third baseman Jesus Ustariz in the Minor League phase.
Goals accomplished: The Tigers wanted a right-handed hitter to mix in with Andy Dirks in left field, and they wanted to add some speed to their offense. They found both in Davis, who, in limited action, stole more bases (45) this past season than the entire Tigers team (35).
Unfinished business: Before he left Florida, Dombrowski wanted one more veteran reliever to fill out the bullpen, not necessarily a top setup arm but an experienced reliever to support hard-throwing Bruce Rondon in the seventh and eighth innings. Chamberlain, who has battled injuries over the past three seasons with the Yankees, fit that bill.
Team's bottom line: "I think we've changed with our athleticism at this point. We have an extremely athletic outfield when you talk about having Austin Jackson and Rajai and [Torii Hunter], even though he doesn't run quite the same way he did. We've changed the middle of our diamond with [Ian Kinsler] and [Jose Iglesias] on board and [Miguel Cabrera] moving over. I think we've changed the look of the team." -- Dombrowski

Camp is an experience every child deserves. And there's nothing quite like watching a child's face light up with the joy of discovering new friends, the pride of accomplishment, and the wonder that nature offers.
Unplugged from the constant buzz of computers, television, video games, and cell phones, children find themselves at camp — making genuine connections with other children, rediscovering the fun in physical fitness, learning their own strengths, and finding their own voices.
These are the gifts camp gives, and your charitable contribution to the American Camp Association (ACA) helps ensure that all children who want to spread their wings and soar at camp will have that opportunity.
Give to the Annual Fund

This stew of braised pork and vegetables with a hint of lemon makes for a delicious supper. Lemon and thyme pork stew needs only a tossed green salad and some crisp, crusty bread as accompaniments.
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 8 to 10 hours on Low
Yield: 4 servings
2 pounds boneless pork loin
2 large potatoes
4 parsnips
1 large red onion
2 stalks celery
1 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup flour

Lightly spray a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with vegetable oil cooking spray.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Brown the pork in batches.

Bring to a simmer and scrape off any browned particles on the skillet.
Pour the broth over the meat in the slow cooker.
Add 1 teaspoon lemon rind, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, the remaining 2 cups broth, the potatoes, parsnips, onion, celery, thyme, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker.

Events Around the World
Guangzhou Image Triennial 2017
The theme of this Guangzhou Image Triennial--Interweaving Eidos·Overlapping Images--is based on such a position,or in other words,the transition from "photo"to "image," indicating the transition from the original "photography of humanities"to a more inclusive and disciplinary "photography of visual researc.h" Driven by modern technology, the concept of "image"we are talking today has entered into a larger dimension. The overlapping of static and dynamic,physical and non-physical as well as two dimensional and multidimensional elements begins to leap beyond the visual expression defined by "photography."

Japanorama: A new vision on art since 1970
Torn between a powerful cultural heritage and a national discourse on modernization, alternating between phases of openness and withdrawal, the cultural evolution of Japan in the early 1970s was marked by major social, political and natural events. Exhibition curator Yuko Hasegawa looks back on these turbulent decades during which Japan oscillated between globalisation and affirmation of its identity.
Grantee: Hasegawa Yuko
The Spirit of Painting. Cai Guo-Qiang at the Prado
Cai Guo-Qiang is the first contemporary artist to create on-site at the Prado. This is his first solo exhibition solely focused on painting in over 30 years.
This exhibition, which arises from Cai Guo-Qiang's ongoing dialogue with El Greco and in which he establishes a relationship with the great masters represented in the Prado, comprises nearly 30 paintings made with gunpowder; eight of them ignited on-site at the Salón de Reinos. Also on view are an oil and an acrylic created at the start of his activities as a painter; and various sketches and drawings on matchboxes by his father, Cai Ruiqin, who steered him towards painting.
Grantee: Cai Guo-Qiang

Patty Chang: The Wandering Lake (2009-2017)
"Patty Chang: The Wandering Lake, 2009-2017" presents a groundbreaking project by Chang, a uniquely important artist who emerged from New York's alternative art scene of the mid-1990s. From her tough-to-take, boundary-busting performance-video work that explored the complex psychic narrative behind often visceral solo performances, to more recent experimental films and lecture-performances, Chang has challenged the parameters of performance and its power as a storytelling vehicle. The Queens Museum will present her most ambitious work to date, "The Wandering Lake (2009-2017)", a project that redefines the role of artist, image, object and performance in the construction of narratives through an exhibition that integrates video projection, photography, sculpture, publication, and performance as one expansive body of work. This exhibition is part of Asia Contemporary Art Week, October 5-26 in New York City.
Patty Chang received an ACC Fellowship in 2010 to carry out research and creative work in Laos.

Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art
Clouds⇄Forests is a proposition at a time of crisis to instigate the establishment of new relationships in our world. This proposition will be proposed by the artists and creators called "Creative Tribes", who gather in different sites all over the world, do not feel restricted to the notion of nation state and also surmount the dichotomy between globalism and localism.
Clouds⇄Forests focuses on artists as a creative tribe transitioning, expanding and dissipating, from forest to cloud, rebuilding the subjectivity of spectators and showing that creativity is vital to the creation of new environmental spheres. Taking into account perceptions on the generation of new subjective environmental spheres, the curatorial criteria for this exhibition includes giving life to new technologies as well as exploring ways to obtain animistic artistic languages and connect cultural roots, and leveraging the rhizome-based organic system to traverse history, genres, and media.
ACC grantee Yuko Hasegawa is curating the Moscow Biennale of Contemporary, and ACC grantees Nadim Abbas from Hong Kong and Nindityo Adipurnomo from Indonesia are participating artists.

A Doll's House, Part 2
The play A Doll's House, part 2, picks up after Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House concludes and explores, in uproarious fashion, the emotional chaos that results when Nora Helmer returns to the home from which she exited fifteen years earlier.
The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, W Magazine and Time Out New York all call A Doll's House, Part 2 "the best play of the Broadway season."
A Doll's House, Part 2 is written by Tony Award nominee Lucas Hnath, directed by Tony Award winner Sam Gold with lighting design by Jennifer Tipton. Jesse Green of The New York Times raves, "The best play of the year. I love A Doll's House, Part 2. This is a great comedy." Peter Marks of The Washington Post cheers, "I want do nothing but talk about A Doll's House, Part 2 for the rest of my life."
Grantee: Jennifer Tipton
Art and China after 1989: Theater of the World
The largest showcase of contemporary Chinese art from 1989 – 2008 in North America, surveying the development of Chinese experimental art from the end of Cold War to the age of globalization and China's rise on the world stage. Works in the exhibition illustrate the role of artists as both agents and skeptics of China's global presence against the political, social, and cultural transitions in the past two decades.
This exhibition is part of Asia Contemporary Art Week, October 5-26 in New York City. The work of six ACC grantees are included in this exhibition.
Grantees: Song Dong, Cai Guo-Qiang, Wang Jianwei, Zhang Peili, Liu Wei, Yin Xiuzhen
Modernism on the Ganges: Raghubir Singh Photographs
"Modernism on the Ganges: Raghubir Singh Photographs" will situate Singh's photographic work at the intersection of Western modernism and traditional South Asian modes of picturing the world. It will feature 85 photographs by Singh in counterpoint with works by his contemporaries—friends, collaborators, fellow travelers—as well as examples of the Indian court painting styles that inspired him.
The exhibition will trace the full trajectory of Singh's career from his early work as a photojournalist in the late 1960s through his last unpublished projects of the late 1990s. Using a handheld camera and color slide film, he recorded India's dense milieu in complex frieze-like compositions teeming with incident, fractured by reflections, and pulsating with opulent color. This exhibition is part of Asia Contemporary Art Week, October 5-26 in New York City.
Raghubir Singh received an ACC Fellowship in 1990 to meet with photographers, curators, and critics, and to pursue creative work in photography in the United States.

Detroit dad gets life sentence in daughter's death
DETROIT (AP) -- A Detroit father who inspired dozens of people to look for his missing 2-year-old daughter was sentenced to life in prison for her murder Monday while repeatedly insisting that she's still alive.
D'Andre Lane claimed Bianca Jones was abducted during a carjacking a year ago, a tragic, emotional story that led police and volunteers to scour the city's most depressed neighborhoods to look for her during the holiday season.
But investigators soon became skeptical and questioned Lane's credibility. He was convicted of first-degree murder in October after prosecutors said the carjacking was a lie to cover up Bianca's death. Authorities alleged that she was killed with a stick because she wet herself and wasn't toilet-trained.
Bianca's body has never been found.
"You controlled her dead body like a rag doll. ... You figured that a city plagued with violence, understaffed by police -- who would care? But you were wrong," Wayne County Circuit Judge Vonda Evans said.
Lane, 33, repeatedly professed his innocence and blamed police for an incomplete investigation.
"I did not murder my child. I did not abuse my child. My child is alive," he said.
The judge ejected him from court after he muttered that the case was full of lies.
"Vonda, you're a liar," Lane told Evans, calling her by her first name, as sheriff's deputies escorted him past the bench.
Lane, who has fathered seven children with seven women, told officers during questioning that he had spanked Bianca for wetting herself. He acknowledged "discipline" but denied that it amounted to abuse.
The handler of a cadaver-sniffing dog testified at Lane's trial that the dog detected the smell of a body in his car and in Bianca's bedroom.
Bianca's mother continues to support Lane. She stood in the courtroom gallery Monday and declared: "The justice system cheated us."
"I want the court to know they made a mistake, and I intend to correct it," Banika Jones said.
Defense attorney Terry Johnson blamed the media for his client's plight, calling it "vigilantism by microphones and cameras." He said there's no evidence that Bianca is dead, only that she's missing.
"This was a case that never should have been brought forth," Johnson told the judge.
Lane has an automatic right to appeal his conviction.
