These are three commitments we make to every client and these are the same pledges which have enabled our continuing growth:
- We will consistently deliver service with absolute quality.
- We will provide specific recommendations, solutions and day-to-day administration which recognize that the needs of each client are different.
- We are committed to responsive and effective long-term relationships.
Commitment to Quality
We have grown to 135 employees and currently service engagements covering approximately 1040 plans with over $33 billion in assets and 370,000 participants by doing what we say we will. We have distinguished ourselves from our competitors with our broad base of knowledge, technical skills, experience and our unquestioned commitment to quality service. We will put significant fees at risk based on our performance.
Whereas most retirement plan administration firms have attempted to leverage themselves by employing relatively inexperienced administrators to service their client accounts, we have a decidedly different approach. We are one of the few firms that require all of our client work to be reviewed and completed by experienced and knowledgeable consultants.
Custom Services
As retirement plan consultants our services are different than those of a plan administrator. Our services focus on anticipating situations, rather than simply reacting to them. We employ imaginative, creative and practical approaches to meet client needs and address new developments in the rapidly changing employee benefits field. We are not a vendor. We partner with our clients in the pursuit of a long-term relationship that is beneficial to both of us. We fully realize that our clients' success will determine our success.
Client Relationships
It is perhaps a paradox that our success depends on building solid client relationships and retaining clients for the long term yet we don't have a "client management" function or title at NWPS. Instead, we believe that the people best suited for building relationships with our clients are the people actually working on the plan. We are organized into multiple service delivery teams responsible for all aspects of plan operations for each client they work on. This team has responsibility for everything from payroll loads and daily trades to answering both client and participant phone calls to compliance testing and reporting. This team is responsible for the success of each client's plan.
Competitive Fee Structure
Through the use of skilled consultants, we are able to provide our clients with the highest quality service, at a fee level that is competitive with that of other firms that employ less experienced administrators. Our competitive fee structure results from the greater efficiencies we achieve in using knowledgeable professionals and our extensive use of advanced technology.
Another key to our success is independence. We have no brokerage or insurance company ties and we do not sell investment products. We are compensated on a fee-for-service basis which allows us to focus on administration and consulting without the distraction of how our clients invest their funds. We believe we are uniquely positioned in the marketplace to have no conflicts of interest and to be a true client advocate.

These are Homer's Powers in "The Simpsons Game."
Homer's burp is his super-attack. He needs to collect power balls to get enough power to do a massive burp to defeat near enemies.
On the PlayStation 3 and/or Xbox 360 versions, Homer's power burp is fire while on the PS2, Wii and PSP versions of the game, his burp is just extended green gas, similar to the mini-burp in PS3 and Xbox, except slightly stronger.
Homer Ball
"Homer Ball" is one of Homer's powers in "The Simpsons Game." He needs to eat food to gain enough power to become a big ball that can roll on the floor.
As Homer Ball, Homer can use the "Homer Ball boost" to boost into enemies and walls, and also the "Homer Ball super-boost," in which he can jump and splat on the floor.
While doing this, he loses power, so he has to eat to stay in his Homer Ball form. The first level in which Homer uses it is "The Land of Chocolate," but he discovers it in "Around the World in 80 Bites."
Homer has another power called "Heli-Homer." He can inhale helium to become a gas ball and float onto the air while he has enough power.
As Heli-Homer, Homer can use the "Heli-Homer boost" to boost into the air and cross certain areas quicker. The first level in which Homer uses it is "Shadow of the Colossal Donut"/"Invasion of the Yokel-Snatchers".
Homer has one more power called the "Gumi-Homer." He needs to eat Gummi Venus de Milo to gain enough power to become a big, green gumi ball that can shoot gumi-balls to further enemies and use the "Gumi-Boost" (Only PS2/PSP/Wii) to do a boost on the floor to launch gumi pieces to the enemies.
While doing this, Homer loses power, so he has to eat Gumis to keep transformed into Gumi-Homer. The first level in which Homer uses it is "NeverQuest," but he learns how to use it before in the game engine, where Professor Frink teaches him about how to properly use the power. In the PS2/PSP/Wii version, Homer is always facing forward; the player can't see his face while he's in this form.

Finally, we reach the third article, Free Economy and Social Order. I find this article difficult to understand at once for the writer's use of terms is not the usual ones popularized in the mainstream academic institution. Anyway, I tried to grasp what Ropke is trying to say. To me, he speaks about the necessity of an intellectual atmosphere and social order friendly to economic activity for free market to thrive. Without this social order, any appearance of free market is actually an artificial device created by a socialist state. It is not real free market, but a highly centralized machinery created by the state.
Then the writer proceeds to explain what he meant by "free market," by identifying its two pillars: freedom of prices and competition and genuine private property. He then describes that private property only exists if the "individual sphere" has dual protection against other individuals and the government. Unfortunately, both the existing intellectual atmosphere and the social order are contrary to free market economy due to widespread influence of Marxist ideas. It is at this point that I find the article not easy to understand.
Ropke's use of popular Marxist terms like "bourgeois" and "proletarianization" are different from the common understanding. He claims that Marxists are somehow successful in their distortion of the real meaning of these terms. I understand Ropke's use of "bourgeois" as synonymous to "civilized" while proletariat is equivalent to a "nomad." The author claims that free market economy thrives in an intellectual atmosphere and social order qualified as civilized. For him, this is reality and the natural order of things. He describes the appropriate place of free market in a civilized intellectual atmosphere and social order as follows:
Its place is in a society where certain elementary things are respected and are coloring the whole life of the community: individual responsibility; respect of certain indisputable norms; the individual's honest and serious struggle to get ahead and develop his faculties; independence anchored in property; responsible planning of one's own life and that of one's family; thriftiness; enterprise; assuming well calculated risks; the sense of workmanship; the right relation to nature and the community; the sense of continuity and tradition; the courage to brave the uncertainties of life on one's own account; the sense of the natural order of things.
The foregoing description is the essence of civilization and details the basic requirements for economic progress. This intellectual atmosphere and social order are now under serious threat due to the proletarianization of the economy, which Ropke emphasizes the very reason why he is skeptical about Keynesian and post-Keynesian economics. Evidences of this proletarianization are the dominant attitude of both the government and the people towards money, the participation of trade union representatives in the administration of corporations, and the diminishing responsibility of the debtor in the name of social justice. The writer ends his article by sharing two stories taken from the financial history of France to illustrate a "civilized" attitude towards money even in time of extreme national emergency.
In this overview of libertarian principles, we learn in the first article that free market thinkers have solemn responsibilities to specialize, not to expect support from giant corporations, focus on basic principles, and must demand honest money from the government. In the second article, we also realize historical facts and current evidences that support argument about the present-day existence of fascist policy. And finally, in the third article we learn the need of an intellectual atmosphere and social order for free market economy to grow and prosper.

Dulcy (Mahar) died on July 2. She was the beloved garden columnist for the Oregonian in Portland. It goes without saying that she, and her words, will be missed.
For those of us in the garden community, her weekly column was a must-read. In fact, it was often the first and sometimes the only feature I would take the time read in the weekly Homes and Gardens section. I didn't realize this at the time, but she began her weekly columns right around the time my husband dragged me kicking and screaming to his home state. So I have been reading her words and following her advise (often to eat more chocolate!) for just around 20 years.
She has an amazing garden. Her columns outlined her experiences and experiments with gardening in the Pacific Northwest. Being a good gardener, she tried over the years to follow the rules. .. but as she and her garden matured, she began to write her own. The garden became less formal and more whimsical. And she started a trend. Pink Flamingos, that much maligned and labeled lawn decoration, found their way into her garden and into her heart, and by extension, to ours.
On Saturday her friends opened her garden for viewing. As you can imagine, the people came from all around to walk thru her space and remember her columns. As a group, we gardeners can be very friendly and chatty. Especially when talking about our shared passion. More about that walk thru her garden in a future post.
I was struck by how many came, how respectful and how cheerfully sad we all were as we walked around. Because of the crowds I had to park about 5 blocks away from the home. It was a beautiful summer day, the walk was pleasant and the yards in her neighborhood are amazing in their own right.
I hadn't walked far when I began to see them ….
Flamingos. In the lawns of her neighbors. Along the sidewalk, next to the driveway. Pink memorials to the woman that we had come to know as just Dulcy.
I spent about 2 hours walking around her garden and talking to fellow gardeners, and her personal friends. The occasion wasn't formal, or somber, nor was it upbeat and cheerful. Gardeners, more than most I think, know what the circle of life is about. Death and dying are a big part of our world. But so is hope. After all, you have to have large doses of hope and optimism to garden in our Zone ! After walking around and enjoying the gardens and the company, I walked slowly back to my car. And saw them again.
Pink Flamingos. Guiding me back to my truck. I really wish that Dulcy could have seen them. And maybe she did. Here are the photos I took, just in those 5 blocks or so. A whimsical memorial to a great lady, great writer and hopeful gardener.

Im loving today. Its a misty 66 degrees and my house is clean!
Im also loving little wooden people. I painted 5 little girls for my niece for Christmas. She calls them her angels.
It was so fun giving each a little personality. I especially love the sassy red head with a gold belt :)
I painted this cute little couple for my Sister-In-Law. Its her and my brother at their wedding.
They had such a beautiful wedding! And seriously, are they a perfect couple or what?
I purchased the wooden people from etsy and I use regular artist acrylics.
I have more blank dolls, I think Baker would love some boys or I might make our family. Who would you paint?

The resort was on the ocean. The colors of the water were beautiful. We enjoyed going down to the ocean and taking walks along the shore. Once Nola ventured too far into the waters. If you stand in the sand you start sinking. I enjoyed the feeling. But Nola stood too long and before we could do anything a wave washed over her and knocked her down. She was carrying her bag of things she needed. Nola is very leary of the water and was a little scared. But all ended well. The sea-food cafe/bar was right on the beach. We sat and enjoyed a drink while Nola's things dried out.

Awww…Glad Nola was alright! Not fun if you aren't a fan of swimming! 😦

Great article in the Post today about how Maryland's dominant field hockey team is fairly anonymous on not only the local sports landscape, but their own damn campus. I'm not sure what the exact problem is, but it could have something to do with the fact that it's field hockey.
Seriously, though, the team is incredible. It's not that they can't lose. It's just that they don't. Katie O'Donnell is the sport's top player and Missy Meharg is the top coach. She's the Sasho Cirovski of underappreciated Maryland women's sports program coaches.
Let me just take this opportunity to point out the voluminous field hockey coverage here at Shell Games. Why do we do it? Because we
like girls care. It's because we care.
Your 16-0, top-ranked, defending national champion Terps field hockey team closes out the regular season tomorrow with a big showdown at 15-0, #2 North Carolina.
One of these days, I gotta make it to a game.

(Covington ga )
How can I find show time calender for November 2016! To make sure my dining works and also my timing for Mickeys Christmas Party??
Dad's Super Planner Answer
Shanon, you're a super planner! Dad just loves that. Starting to make your vacation plans nearly a year in advance is not required for a trip to WDW, but it sure does help to make sure everything runs smoothly when you hit those milestone dates for Advanced Dining Reservations and FastPass+ reservations. That being said, Disney doesn't give us planners all the info we need quite so soon…
Currently, Disney has only released hours through most of July – it'll be a few months before all the hours, events and show schedules are released for November. And even one hours are announced they can change a bit – usually to add on more hours or more shows to accommodate larger than expected crowds.
But, by the time you need to make your ADRs in May, the full schedule should be out! Then you can pick your days and your dining reservations, and if you're stayin on-property at the 60-day mark in September you can make your FastPass+ reservations.
Based on history, Dad thinks Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party will be offered starting the second week of November on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights (no parties over Thanksgiving week). But Disney has changed things up before, so be sure to watch Dad's website for the official dates when they are released.
In terms of making your dining reservations work with show times, there are a few thing you can probably count on.
At Magic Kingdom, Festival of Fantasy will show daily at 3pm, Wishes will be at 10pm and the Main Street Electrical Parade will be at 9pm and sometimes a second show at 11pm.
At EPCOT, Illuminations will be at 9pm.
At Disney's Hollywood Studios, Fantasmic! Will show at 7pm and sometimes a second show at 9pm with Sympohony in the Stars at 8pm.
At Animal Kingdom, Rivers of Light will be sometime in the evening – likely 8 or 9pm – but we really don't know since it will open for the first time in April.
Keep in mind that at times Disney does not offer every show every night, and times are always subject to change. If you're trying to time dinner reservations around any of these shows, plan to eat about 3 hours ahead of show time to make certain that you don't miss the show.
As for all the other shows at WDW – things like Beauty and the Beast Live On Stage, Flights of Wonder, Festival of the Lion King, the musical acts around EPCOT, and more – don't worry! These are each shown multiple times a day. So when you arrive at the park grab a Times Guide (or get one at your hotel, or use the My Disney Experience App to look up times) and plan to see the show when it fits into your other plans.
Dad's Bottom Line
Shanon, schedules and planning are important but don't let them take over your enjoyment of the trip. Some of the best memories you family has is of when things just happen on their own. I can suggest the Get Down to Disness Agenda to help you keep track of all the details of your plan – it helps Dad a lot. Trust me.

Mark Zuckerberg's social media accounts were hacked on Sunday night and attackers used the opportunity to mock the CEO's choice of password.
The hacker(s) — who use the name OurMine Team — managed to get into Zuckerberg's Twitter and Pinterest accounts, and they also claimed to have broken into his Instagram account, though Facebook denied this to VentureBeat.
His password? "dadada."
"Hey, [Mark Zuckerberg]," one message sent from his Twitter account reads. "You were in [the] Linkedin Database with the password "dadada" ! DM for proof."
LinkedIn was hacked in 2012 and Zuckerberg apparently made the mistake of reusing the same password for all of his accounts.
Keep in mind that Zuckerberg last sent a tweet on Twitter in 2012. The message sent from his account on Sunday night has since been deleted.
So what did we learn from this hack? Even the smartest billionaire tech CEO in the world doesn't follow prescribed password suggestions and anyone can be hacked.

Reviews for Solo: A Star Wars Story aren't the best, but almost every critic is in agreement about one thing: Donald Glover's Lando Calrissian is terrific. The Atlanta star portrays the suave gambler, originally played by Billy Dee Williams in the first Star Wars trilogy, and along with the character's droid companion L3 (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), he's stealing the movie out from under young Han Solo himself, Alden Ehrenreich.
Solo, which comes out next week, leaves room for a sequel. Ehrenreich has a three-picture option for the character, and director Ron Howard has suggested it's up to the fans (via box office success) to determine if Solo 2 actually happens. However, critics and possibly the fans might prefer a Lando spin-off instead of more young Han Solo chronicles. Or at least in addition to them. Apparently, such a wish may actually be granted.
Lucasfilm head honcho Kathleen Kennedy, who produces all the Star Wars movies, seemed to spill the beans this week. "There are still many stories to tell about Han and Chewbacca, but Lando will be next," she was quoted as having said at the Solo premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, as shared by the French site Premiere (translated by Google). And there's more: "We think that the next spin-off will be dedicated to Lando Calrissian."
Kennedy saying she thinks Lando: A Star Wars Story will be next would have hardly been an official announcement. After being reached for comment by io9, Lucasfilm claimed a mistranslation but did confirm they are considering the idea for the future. The expectation is that Obi-Wan Kenobi will actually be the focus of the next Star Wars Story prequel spin-off, while there may also be plans still for stand-alone movies about Boba Fett, Yoda and Jabba the Hutt.
Glover as Lando is about to be a big deal, though, if the first wave of reactions is any indication. And Lucasfilm would be smart to go ahead and make it happen for real.
Others involved with Solo are also down for more Lando. One of the movie's writers, Jonathan Kasdan, told Screen Crush that he's hoping for a spinoff centered on the future leader of Cloud City. And he says he would like to be involved:
I'm dying to see a Lando film. I would help in any way I was asked to. I think that's a great movie...I want to see a Lando film very similar to the way I think Larry was excited by a Han film. Which is in this movie, Lando gets to occupy the role that Han occupied in the earlier films, which is he doesn't have to carry the burden of being the protagonist. He gets to have all the jokes. He gets to be the foil, you know? So one of the tricky challenges of making a Lando movie is, suddenly Lando is at the center of it. He, somebody else is going to step into that role of being the... maybe even Han, you know? So it's a fun universe to play around [in] and then think about what we can do with it. Certainly, as much as Larry insists he's done, we couldn't have written a movie more pregnant with possibility for future adventures, so I don't trust him a hundred percent.
By "Larry," he means his father and Solo co-writer Lawrence Kasdan, who has claimed he's done with Star Wars movies. Meanwhile, the younger Kasdan has a pretty specific character he believs should be in Lando: A Star Wars Story:
If there is a Lando movie, it's hard to imagine doing it without Lobot.
For those who don't remember, Lobot is Lando's right hand man in Cloud City as seen in The Empire Strikes Back. With his wraparound electronic earmuff-looking headgear, Lobot has become a cultish fan favorite character in the Star Wars franchise, and him being a supporting character in Lando would be for some sect of the audience for that movie what Lando is for Solo. He'd have to show up, because the movie would have to show us how Lando came to be in charge of Cloud City.
While we await proper confirmation or announcement from Lucasfilm, watch Solo: A Star Wars Story when it opens on May 25 to see for yourself why a Lando movie is so in demand.

Beautiful Art Installations
Installation art is an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that often are site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space. Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces, whereas exterior interventions are often called public art, land art or intervention art; however, the boundaries between these terms overlap.

Rabindranath Tagore work as a painter on view at National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, India
Tagore began painting at the age of 63. His artistic practice budded from his habits as a writer; scratched-out words or revision marks on his manuscripts became free-form doodles. Eventually, he produced thousands of works and was the first Indian artist whose paintings were exhibited across Europe, Russia, and the United States in 1930.

Remodeling My Off Grid Camper
January 19th, 2012
I just finished building a desk and a set of book shelves in my off grid camper. The camper originally had two twin sized beds in the bedroom. In all, it had space for 6 adults to sleep. Since I am alone, I figured the extra bed would not do me any good, so I removed it to make space for a desk.
The original bed frame was about 3 feet wide by about 7 feet long. I pulled the bed out and cut the width down to two feet so it would fit better with a chair in front of it and still leave room to walk through the bedroom. Then I remounted the frame to the wall at about 27 inches height using the original wood and hardware. I removed the cloth trim and then I had a nice looking desk.
There was just over 8.5 inches of wasted space between the cabinet door and the wall, perfect for an average sized book. I took more of the supporting wood framework left over from the bed, plus some pine wood I had laying around and made a set of book shelves. The shelves are built right into the walls and attached to the desk for stability. Underneath the desk is another shelf for a printer or some more books. The top two shelves are 8.5 inches deep and the next two are ten inches. It worked out quite well.
In the summer I will stain and varnish it to make it match the surrounding wood. The stain emits poisonous fumes and needs a lot of ventilation and winter is no time for that.
Later I may put some pull out drawers on the far left side, under the desk for more storage.

Agricultural Studies: Soil Science
When it comes to the study of agriculture, you must understand that the soil has quite a bit to do with the way that food grows, the types of foods that will grow in the soil, and if the soil has the correct essentials to grow quality crops.
For those that want a profession in this field of agriculture will learn various subjects such as chemical, biological, and physical properties of soil via analyzing and then use the knowledge to aid with issues like protecting the health of humans, ensuring the sustainability of the environment, and increasing the production of crops.
This study is, of course, the study of soil that is one of our natural resources on the surface which does include other topics such as fertility properties, biological, chemical, physical, mapping, classification, and formation and how these properties are related to the management and use of the various soils.
There are different branches of soil sciences which include pedology and edaphology. Pedology includes classification, morphology, chemistry, and formation of the soil while edaphology is mainly the study of the influence the soil has on various organisms mainly plants. There are many different professions that work with the advancement of soil sciences including sanitarians, sylviculturists, archaeologists, biologists, microbiologists, physical geographers, ecologists, chemists, geologists, engineers, and agronomists.
In order to understand a bit more about the two main studies of soil science, you must realize that pedology is the study of the soil in its own natural setting while edaphology is the study of the soil with its relationship to the uses for the dependency of the soils. Both of these studies use various subjects including soil biology, soil chemistry, and soil physics.
You must also remember that research and mapping are also a huge factor when it comes to soil science, as our world is ever changing including such topics as greenhouse gases, as well as determining the type of soil for which to cover a landscape or plant a specific crop.

The short answer to handling active shooters is shoot back. –Marc MacYoung
Friday evening BJJ in Bellevue. Same techniques we did Thursday, along with a variation on the sweep where the opponent stands up in your guard. This one involved using a butt-bump to break down one leg, and I struggled with it.
One roll with Doug and one with Cindy. Holy cow! Where else do you get to finish your class with super-fun rolls with two black belts- one who shows you old-man tricks and one who shows you small-woman tricks. It was fun, exhausting and educational.
Took a decently long walk at Reiter Foothills with the dogs on Saturday, and then went up the Index wall on Sunday. There was still quite a bit of snow once we got into the forest, which made for some struggles with footing as well as struggles trying to stay on the correct path. It was a challenge, but we got to the top. Then coming down…. mama mia. As usual, coming down is LOTS worse for me than going up, and this was the worst it's ever been. I hope it was just the snow and all, and not my new normal. My knees felt like Ziplock baggies filled with broken glass and thumbtacks. When I got up for work that night, they felt like Ziplock baggies full of broken glass and thumbtacks encased in water balloons that were filled just shy of bursting. The degree of visible swelling at and just above my knees was disturbing. I've never seen them like that.
It scared me. I was picturing being older and having them feel like that all the time.
I draw a strong line of distinction between pain versus incapacity. My knees were bad enough last night that if I had found myself in a situation where I needed to throw down, I fear one or both of them may have mechanically given out. That is two VERY different places…. the place where you say, "this hurts, maybe hurts BAD, but if I need to do X, I can," versus "I mechanically can NOT make my body do X".
On the good side, the slight (unrelated) knee injury that was bugging me earlier in the week made it through 2 BJJ classes and 3 hikes without problems.

BACKGROUND: Early detection of ovarian cancer remains a challenge due to widespread metastases and a lack of biomarkers for early-stage disease. This study was conducted to identify relevant biomarkers for both laparoscopic and serum diagnostics in ovarian cancer.
METHODS: Bioinformatics analysis and expression screening in ovarian cancer cell lines were employed. Selected biomarkers were further validated in bio-specimens of diverse cancer types and ovarian cancer subtypes. For non-invasive detection, biomarker proteins were evaluated in serum samples from ovarian cancer patients.
RESULTS: Two kallikrein (KLK) serine protease family members (KLK6 and KLK7) were found to be significantly overexpressed relative to normal controls in most of the ovarian cancer cell lines examined. Overexpression of KLK6 and KLK7 mRNA was specific to ovarian cancer, in particular to serous and papillary serous subtypes. In situ hybridization and histopathology further confirmed significantly elevated levels of KLK6 and KLK7 mRNA and proteins in tissue epithelium and a lack of expression in neighboring stroma. Lastly, KLK6 and KLK7 protein levels were significantly elevated in serum samples from serous and papillary serous subtypes in the early stages of ovarian cancer, and therefore could potentially decrease the high "false negative" rates found in the same patients with the common ovarian cancer biomarkers human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) and cancer antigen 125 (CA-125).
CONCLUSION: KLK6 and KLK7 mRNA and protein overexpression is directly associated with early-stage ovarian tumors and can be measured in patient tissue and serum samples. Assays based on KLK6 and KLK7 expression may provide specific and sensitive information for early detection of ovarian cancer.

Piececlopedia: Waffle
Historical notesThe Waffle is a `combination chess piece', used by Ralph Betza in his Chess with Different Armies.
MovementThe Waffle has the combined movement of the Wazir and the Alfil, i.e., it can move one square horizontally or vertically, or it can jump two squares diagonally. When jumping, the square passed by may be empty or occupied.
Movement diagramThe white circles mark the bishops-wise movement, the green circles those to which the Waffle can jump.
This is an item in the Piececlopedia: an overview of different (fairy) chess pieces.

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair may face new charge over his role in allegedly helping rescue former Libya dictator Muammar Gaddafi during Nato-led operation against the country.
Based on a biography of Prime Minister David Cameron to be published soon, Blair "telephoned Downing Street during the Libyan war to explain he had been contacted by a key individual close to Gaddafi."
In the book, titled "Cameron at 10" by Sir Anthony Seldon, who has also written biographies of previous Prime Ministers Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and John Major, Cameron says Blair told the PM's office the Libyan dictator wanted to cut a deal with Britain, but Cameron did not take up the offer.
Now some parliament members maintain that Blair should reply their questions over the claim.

We've noticed some buzz in the blogosphere lately (here, here, here, and here) over a recent Org. Lett. paper (DOI: 10.1021/ol900164a) revisiting hexacyclinol—a natural product that got a lot of attention back in 2006. The new paper was a reminder that James J. La Clair, the controversial figure in the hexacyclinol brouhaha, had said back in 2006 that he was going to duplicate his disputed total synthesis and republish his results with more spectral data.
La Clair joined the discussion about the Org. Lett. paper over at In the Pipeline, where commenters called for him to put the debate to rest by providing additional data. That got us thinking about the role that data plays in putting these kinds of debates to rest. The amount of data that ends up in a publication has a lot to do with what a journal requires, so we decided to learn what different journals look for in characterization and supporting information, and how has that changed with time.
Angewandte Chemie—the journal that published La Clair's hexacyclinol synthesis—states in its Guidelines for the Preparation of Manuscripts: "The identity and purity of all new compounds must be fully characterized by appropriate analytical methods (e.g. NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystal structure analysis, elemental analysis, etc.). These data should be given in the Supporting Information in the event that they exceed the scope of the Experimental Section." Peter Gölitz, the journal's editor, is away this week, and ACIE's other editors preferred not to comment on the evolution of this policy in his absence. When we hear from him, we'll post an update.
UPDATE 3/4/09: We corresponded with Peter Gölitz via email. Three updates from our conversation with Gölitz may be found further down in the text.
We're also in the process of tracking down paper copies of ACIE issue 1 from 2005, the year in which La Clair's paper was submitted, and/or issue 1 from 2006, the year it was published. That's where the journal prints its Guidelines for the Preparation of Manuscripts. We'll post an update once we have that information.
UPDATE 3/2/09: We've obtained ACIE's Notice to Authors from 2005. The instructions for ACIE communications in 2005 are identical to the most recent guidelines, except that they are missing the "The identity and purity of all new compounds" statement mentioned above. You can read the 2005 Notice to Authors at the link below.
Peter Stang, Editor of JACS, tells us, "We look for a body of information that fully supports the claims made, and that information depends on the field." That guiding philosophy hasn't changed with time, but the particulars have evolved. For instance, when high-resolution mass spectrometry became widely available, it gradually became understood that it would be the new standard for the characterization of the mass of new compounds, Stang says.
The other journals we spoke with described similar policies, and offered more examples of how they evolve. "At Nature Chemical Biology, we request that authors avoid 'data not shown' statements," says Terry Sheppard, Editor of the journal. The journal published an editorial in October 2008 that explains the call for added transparency. March 2009's Nature Chem. Bio. editorial highlights another of the journal's policies, which state that "Authors should provide a statement confirming the source, identity and purity of known compounds that are central to the scientific study, even if they are purchased or resynthesized using published methods."
Organic Letters strives to adopt the practices set by other ACS journals publishing in its area- JOC and JACS, says Amos Smith, Org. Lett.'s editor. All three of those journals try to ensure that their standards are uniformly high, he adds. One practice that Org. Lett. inherited from JOC is a compound characterization checklist, which helps everyone involved with a manuscript keep track of all the NMRs, melting points, and more. The checklist isn't required, Smith says, but "almost everybody" ends up submitting one. The data policy helps "assure as best you can ever assure that the quality of the work is at a high level," Smith says. Easy access to reproductions of spectra and other supporting information wasn't always available, he notes. "Over the past ten years, there has been an evolution in the types of data that people now can access to judge the quality of experimental work," he says. In part, disclosing extensive data in a communication-length article has become routine in the publishing world because the evolution of technology on the web has made it easy to do so, he says.
UPDATE 3/4/09: "When I became the editor-in-chief in 1982, there was no such thing as Supporting Information," Gölitz says. "In former times it was customary that a Full Paper follows a Communication, and experimental details where therefore expected to be delivered in the Full Paper," he adds.
Incidentally, C&EN contacted La Clair for comment on the Org. Lett. paper, and he told us that since the 2006 controversy, he's made some changes with regard to his data. "I now offer or upload FIDs to with my manuscript submissions," he says. "Sadly, many journals do not provide them with their online content. Perhaps that will change with the expanse of digital communications so that arguments such as this one can evolve from being matters of personal defamation to ones of scientific inquiry.
"Before this incident, I did not store my FIDs and now I have over 25,000 of them backed up," he added. "It's time that spectral data become more digitally accessible. Often the PDF files are larger than the raw spectra in size. Why can we not download the FIDs and discuss the raw data? I can download HD movies from Netflix but not critical experimental data files from NIH supported research programs? In hindsight, this may be the best lesson I have learned from this saga. I do know that many other authors are afraid of what I went through – providing raw data files such as FIDs is a key next step in protecting our authors."
Technology alone doesn't drive the process, though. There's a human element too. Reviewers and editors play an important role in the process of determining whether the information an author provides actually supports the claims they make, Stang says. "Suppose somebody submits a spectrum run on a 300 MHz NMR. A reviewer examining that data has the right to ask that the spectrum be run on a higher resolution NMR. The reviewer can say, 'this isn't clear, the author needs to better determine the coupling constants'. Likewise with mass spec."
UPDATE 3/4/09: In addition to the characterization statement we described above, Gölitz says that ACIE will occasionally "request specific material based on the comments of a referee."
So we'll put it to you readers: What characterization information should be required for publication in your discipline? Does there need to be more transparency? What do you look for to indicate good data when you review a paper?
UPDATE 3/4/09: Gölitz cited a trend toward publishing fewer full papers in favor of communications. Do you agree that that's the case in your field, and what do you think are the positive and negative effects that this trend has had on the community? Were we better off in the good old days?

Tomorrow, Ye Olde Kinke Faire will be available at all major eRetailers. Here's another tempting snippet.
"Good girl," he murmured. "Now go into my bag and pull out the ropes."
Ropes? She peered at him from between her legs. Even upside down he looked serious. Perhaps his bag didn't hold work stuff. She slowly stood up and strolled over to his bag, going as slow as she could. When she reached him, she knelt down and opened up his leather shoulder bag.
Whether it was work or not was up to conjecture, she supposed. They did work at a kink faire. And everything within the bag was kinky or could be used that way. Four sets of hemp rope were tied up and she removed them. When she turned to offer them to Kendrick, he waved behind her. "I think those two trees will do just fine."
And quite suddenly she remembered what he'd said that one day. A frisson of excitement shot down her spine and her pussy clenched with enthusiasm.
"Becca." Something about the serious tone of his voice made her look him in the eyes. "I know you say you like it rough, but I need to know how rough. Because if I fuck you like I would like? You'll be sore for days. All of you," he added. "Once I tie you up, I'll use you for my pleasure and my pleasure's going to be long and involved. Alice gave me a little pill to make sure of it. If you don't think you're ready for that, tell me. We'll do something else."
She shook her head, wanting to feel him at his most wild. And surely that would help him release some of his demons. "Fuck me. Use me. Make me—" Her heartrate ratcheted up and a drop of sweat trickled down her spine as the words poured out of her mouth. "Make me your slut." That four letter word fell from her lips and she felt an incredible freedom in it. She was Kendrick's slut—his to enjoy in any way he liked. And she liked that in ways she had never understood before. To give up all control and let him use her as he needed made her feel strong and powerful in that moment. He was about to turn her world upside down and she could hardly wait.
His eyes darkened. "Go stand between those trees, girl." She rushed to comply.
Published: 02/16/2017
Kendrick Finleigh has been searching for a place for he and his friends to call home, a place where they can let out their kinky selves with no reprisal. Investing in a kinky renaissance faire on a private island seems just the ticket.
Becca Hesse came to work at Ye Olde Kinke Faire thinking it would be fun, only to find the owners have no idea what kink is. When new investors take over, she's thrilled, especially when Kendrick shows interest in her.
With problems in getting the Faire up and running, there seems little time to express how they truly feel for one another. One error leads to a huge misunderstanding and before long, what was once a promising relationship, crashes into the surf. With Becca on the run, Kendrick has to call on all his reserves to bring his sub home safely. Or risk losing her, and what could have been, forever.
Check out the other wonderful WIPs this week:

In this line of work one is subject to attacks. It requires courage to take a stand on many of the topics I write about, and in things I do in my every day life.
One such attack, which finally has reached partial resolution involves a "20 something" person for whose company I developed an outstanding extrme sports supplement. He and his business associates are not knowledgable in health matters so they relied on my expertise. He refers to me as a "walking encyclopaedia" except when it seems it doesn't foster his ego.
The supplement is successful for its purpose, even in the altered form he has manufactured,. However it does have issues over which I have no control. I have brought all of my concerns to his attention, including some claims he is making that are not allowed by current FDA rules.
This group of people has tried to sabotage me in a number of ways through numerous attempts at retaliation for my speaking out about their unwillingness to keep agreements and related issues. Even one of them who writes on a blog seems to focus extensively on retaliation and revenge realted issues.
Sadly, I think many "20 and 30 somethings" have a problem in this area. It's not only where self esteem is involved, but in their "me first" mentality, and inability to accept responsibility for their own errors.
Unfortunately it has taken some legal action to make them acknowledge their lack of attention to keeping with the agreement between us. Now they have to.
Sometimes we get lessons, but then to learn from the experience, we need to pay attention.
And what is sad as well is that they seem to be unaware that they still have to face some related issues that may make life more difficult.
I hope at least one of them is ready.
I have been thinking about how I was going to write this piece for a month, on keeping agreements. I don't plan what I'm going to write in the newsletters until I sit down and start writing. This month however, I had a strong inkling that what was coming up over and over and over again was going to be written about this month. It's called "Keeping Agreements." I was awakened at 4:00AM several days ago to write this.
In this past month I and many others close to me have noticed a seeming pandemic of agreement breaking. One agreement after the next being broken.... and broken in cavalier manners leaving people reeling as to what just happened.
I questioned whether it was a current mirror experience or whether it was an up to be healed from all time experience? I discussed "agreements" with friends, family, and a deeply respected psychologist and author. Pondering, discussing and writing I realized it didn't matter the issue was from now or later, it was blasting up all over the place because we haven't deeply and properly taken care of this agreement breaking business, or incompletions with ourselves or each other. The alarm has gone off. It's a wake-up call to take a deeper look at agreements... our keeping them and our breaking them. And I for one am paying attention to my part in it all and taking responsibility to correct my part in it all.
This agreement breaking has to be healed once and for all in every single one of us because it's creating a deepened decline in humanity. In my awareness of this I realized that this issue seems to be off our radar as we busy ourselves with things like learning to love ourselves in ways that are not all inclusive of all aspects of Soul and Self, being in the moment, (and forgetting agreements made two moments ago) discovering our passions, finding our purpose or perfect relationship outside of ourselves, helping those less fortunate than ourselves with strings attached, or a litany of other things on our list to seemingly raise consciousness.
I sense that if we take care of this 'agreement breaking business', other things will take care of themselves. This appears to be a "big give" (thank you Oprah) we would be wise to give to each other and ourselves. Keeping our agreements is one of the biggest gives we've got to give. We don't reach into our pockets for this one, yet we must reach into our hearts of consciousness.
All month as I watched agreements being broken all over the place and watching the hurt and chaos it caused, I thought, is there any wonder why hearts are broken, psyches are bleeding and the walls to protect ourselves are being constructed quicker than usual? We've been duped or dismissed over and over and over again and not just by another but also by ourselves. We've done it in big and small ways and it's got to stop.
We humans have made "little white lies" acceptable, giant incongruencies tolerable and agreement breaking a matter of "oh I forgot" or "oh well things change." We are creating confusion, distortion, power outages and chaos in the minds and lives of others and ourselves when we break agreements. We are supposed to be living up to ourselves not stripping down ourselves or another because we don't have the consciousness of follow-through. (We do tend to have Master Degrees in excuses don't we?)
When we don't keep agreements we live in a state of incompletion and leak energy all over the place. Psychologist Gay Hendricks shared with me "when we make complete agreements the power of phenomena cannot be overstated." In the same conversation I said to him "and when we don't keep agreements that low level of consciousness goes into the planetary grid and into mass consciousness and creates a ripple of fear and mistrust. On some level everybody suffers," I said... as I felt my own constriction and sadness of where I have contributed.
It is time for each of us to understand at the deepest and highest levels how impeccable we must become with our agreements whether it's to call when you say you will, send a person something you said you were going to, follow through on a business agreement, work out 3 times a week, honor what you promised your friends or your lovers and do so when you say you will. We need to take oaths of impeccability starting this day.
There is power in agreement completion. Agreements kept establish our true Divine identity and enrich every relationship we have. They create a solid platform where others feel safe to stand next to us and it creates a place where we feel safe to be with ourselves!
Broken agreements establish weakness and mistrust, not just in the minds of others, but in ourselves as well. When we don't keep agreements with ourselves we can go to the bank on the fact that if asked if we trusted ourselves, our answer would be NO. Once we don't trust ourselves it is impossible to accept ourselves. Another pitfall of human nature. We don't need any further setbacks in consciousness. We need every reason to love ourselves back into wholeness.
Once we commit to no further agreement breaking there can be no hypocrisy, no contradictions in thought, word or deed. Once we say we will, we must unless there is a reason so big that it's created an impossible hurdle. Then we are responsible to talk about it and work something out that feels right for each.
Keeping agreements elevates the human spirit into Divine Spirit. When we make our agreements big or small with ourselves or with another we would each be wise to take them as sacred vows or say nothing at all.
Keep in mind any agreement left open in this incarnation will be recreated in another. I don't know about you, but I no longer have any plans to deal with unfinished business here or somewhere else. It's been a long haul and I choose to create a clean slate with myself here. I sense my soul (and all soul's) will be relieved.
So here's the action I have created. Perhaps you would like to entertain this for yourself.
Write down every single agreement or incompletion that you can remember (this is not to judge yourself,) it is to become aware of what's left hanging open that's energetically taking you or another down. WARNING: Your ego will start to give you a thousand and one reasons to either not acknowledge something as an incomplete agreement, or make excuses for why you didn't follow through. DON'T PAY ATTENTION. Move forward.
Once you've written each incomplete agreement go back through your list (it will most likely be pages) and just be with each one. Feel what you feel like when you notice each agreement that you didn't close which includes ones you made to yourself. For me, this was like what I believe a life review would be like. It was very painful and it was quite impactful. Ask yourself if I could do this over (each one) what would I do to have kept this agreement?
One by one, if it's possible contact any person you have made agreements with and let them know you have come to realize that it is important for you to first acknowledge and take responsibility for an incomplete agreement and then ask them if there is something you can do now to close the circle of the agreement. And then DO IT! You will be surprised at some of the responses you will get in a pleasant way.
If you absolutely can't contact the person (NO EXCUSES) then create a sacred ceremony of completion around each one. Remember you can always speak to another's soul.
When you are complete with the above (it will take awhile, but it's worth every bit of it) please write yourself a letter of forgiveness. Then write yourself another letter of commitment. The second letter will be easier. "I promise that from this day forward every agreement I make will be met with completion at the time I agree to do so. And so be it."
In closing, I would just like to say this. I have come to learn that from now on I will not make any agreements with another until I have given myself 24 hours to be with whatever I am going to make an agreement about. And, I will not make any agreements or promises based on fear. (Fear is the number one reason we make erroneous agreements to begin with that we can't follow through on.)
I have also decided that when anyone makes an agreement with me, I am going to ask them to give themselves a day to make certain it's something that really feels good and they feel certain they will follow through on it. As for agreements with myself, they must now be made from sacredness to my God Self regardless of their size. Copyright Maureen Moss 2008

A new success for the pépitos today! Are my readers fond of good food? :D
After Clémentine, this is Assouane who made me happy by sending photos and notes about her pépito test, which is more than really well done!
Assouane saw my pépito version on Food Reporter among some others 'petits plats' ;) "and after, I discovered Rose's blog (blog that I love)". I'm so proud, thank you Assouane ;)
Then she noticed that other readers tried the pépito recipe and managed to do it! So she decided to try it too; "I like to test recipes".
And it was delicious!
"Moreover, it was easy to do for me who dreaded to make the dough, it didn't stick and it was easy to work. Concerning the fresh custard, it's quite easy."
As Assouane said, the secret is to let the dough rest enough time.
"So I suggest to all of you to try it!!!!!!"
I'm also taking the opportunity to recommend to you a version that I recently tried and that we could call: the coconut square. You just have to add the quantity of grated coconut you want on the fresh custard and the chocolate chunks, and it's done :D

by Caroline Batson, CDSS Promotion and Periodicals Director
A recent opinion piece in the Miami Herald by Luis Martinez-Fernández, talks about the importance of a well-rounded education that includes not only STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), but also HAS (humanities, arts and social sciences).* As dancers, singers, musicians, teachers and organizers of the traditional arts, we agree with the well-rounded approach. We know what these arts mean to us and have meant during our lives. Other than a brief Phys. Ed. session of square dancing in primary school, many of us didn't embrace these participatory arts until adulthood. What additional richness if we'd contra or English country danced, or sang and played music, from a younger age!
There are many subjects that must be included in school curricula today, all of them important, but because it seems the arts are being left behind, the Country Dance and Song Society is planning a new education project—online courses in traditional dance and music for public school teachers. Our goal is to give teachers the basic skills to easily incorporate these traditional arts into the contemporary classroom.
We will be participating in a regional fundraising event on 12.12.12 called Valley Gives Day, an e-philanthropy day to raise the profile of over 200 Western Massachusetts nonprofits. We have chosen to dedicate funds raised on that day to jumpstart our new project. You can help by donating on 12.12.12 or by scheduling a donation now.
"…we need poets, painters, musicians, ballet dancers and clergy to nurture the spirit of those who now lead longer and healthier lives," Martinez-Fernández writes. "[A] STEM without flowers is just a bare stem."
Let's help grow those flowers! Please support our new project by contributing through Valley Gives.

Yeti are great at supporting and nurturing fresh new talent and this eight man squad is testimony to that ethos with plenty of young guns.
Read on:
The Yeti / Fox Racing Shox team, perennially one of the strongest mountain teams on the circuit, announced its World Cup and national teams today.
Current World Cup 4x Overall Champion, Jared Graves will anchor the World Cup team and will be joined by rising star and fellow Aussie downhiller Shaun O'Connor. The national team is deep in talent and will feature two current national champions – Ross Milan (4x) and Mike West (Super D) and a deep pool of young downhill racers including Tyler Immer, Eliot Jackson, Joey Schusler, Chris Boice, and junior Richie Rude.
The Yeti / Fox Racing Shox Factory Team has consistently produced top World Cup talent. Yeti president, Chris Conroy, credits this to the development system they created five years ago. "We are committed to finding and developing young talent," Conroy said. "We have invested significantly in our World Cup and national teams so our riders get great coaching, strength training and mechanical support to help them reach the next level of the sport."
Shaun O'Connor, who finished 17th overall on the World Cup circuit last year is stoked to be riding on the Yeti / Fox Racing Shox Factory Team, "I am really excited to be on the Yeti program," O'Connor said. "I was looking for a team that would allow me to grow as a rider and improve my racing… the Yeti program is a perfect fit."
Jared Graves, who has raced on the Yeti program for the last seven years, will race the full World Cup schedule in four cross and race select downhill races as well. "Jared is one of the best all-around riders in the world. He's always the man to beat in four cross and this year he'll compete in downhill again," Conroy said. Graves has a bevy of bicycle racing honors, including four cross World Champion, Australian Olympic selection for BMX (he finished 5th) and countless domestic titles in downhill and four cross in the United States and Australia.
Three new riders join the National Team, already stacked with local talent Joey Schusler, (Boulder, Colo.) and Chris Boice (Keystone, Colo.). Tyler Immer (Rancho Mureita, Calif.), Richie Rude (Redding, Conn.) and Eliot Jackson (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) are fast and talented. All three raced their first pro races last year and quickly made a name for themselves. Most notable displays of their natural talent include Immer's third place at 2010 U.S. Mountain Bike National Championships, Jackson's qualification at World Cup #5 Val Di Sole, and at 16 years old, Richie Rude's first place in the Eastern States Cup Series overall.
The National Team looks to litter the podium at regional races; select Pro GRT races including MSC #5, Wildflower Rush; U.S. Open; USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships and World Cup races in Canada and the U.S.
"I'm excited about the new National talent coming up. Our program is about discovering new riders and this year we have a lot of new, young talent with a lot of potential," said Damion Smith, Team Manager.
The team will be training under James Wilson of MTB Strength Training Systems. Wilson's program has steadily become recognized as the premier mountain bike strength training system, and has been accredited for some of the top riders' strength progression in the sport. Shaun Hughes is returning as Team Mechanic for the National/World Cup team after a great season last year. Damion Smith going on his sixth year as Team Manager, continues to manage the race programs.
The team will be racing the best equipment in the sport: Fox Racing Shox, Shimano, DT Swiss, Schwalbe, 661, Jett Designs, Topeak, WTB, Sunline, e13, ODI, Chris King and Motorex.
Yeti Cycles is a rider-owned high-end mountain bike company, based in Golden, Colorado. The company has twenty-five years of racing experience and focuses its product development on making racers go faster.

I built my first computer in college when my Macbook just couldn't handle my code compiling & VM needs. Since then, things have gotten a little out of hand.
After college, it basically became my netfix box that I would occasionally game and write code on. I wasn't planning on any changes to my 4790k based system since Intel's been selling the same tired 4 core chip for 3 years and buying a new 4 core chip in 2017 was not really an upgrade.
When AMD launched Ryzen, it was genuine innovation and I made the leap. So far, I'm really happy with the build. I have it at 4.0Ghz at 1.37v with cl14 3200Mhz ram and the machine has been running for months without a hitch.
My next upgrade will be Threadripper for my freenas build. Intel's x299 was a major disappointment, I don't want their fire hazard in my closet
Part Reviews
Intel hasn't made a processor worth upgrading to in 3 years and their next 15% improved 4 core chip won't be something I will invest in either. I use Xeon based blade servers at my job and it involves compile operating systems a lot and when I wanted to learn anything at home my i7 4790k would take forever to compile. The 1800x has cut down the time by almost half! All the Intel mainstream processors like the 7700k get manhandled by the 1800x.
For gaming my performance improved since I always play with 10 chrome tabs, Twitch, Spotify and a couple other things running with my game, also I get much better lows since the cpu isn't pegged at 100% which forced the scheduler to juggle more than it can handle.
CPU Cooler
Decent cooler. I upgraded the fans to Corsair's ML series
I was originally planning on getting the Taichi but the Gaming Professional came in stock at my local Microcenter and I got tired of waiting. I went for this board for the 16 power phase design and 3200Mhz memory support. I really like it so far. The initial bios upgrade is frustrating and I would highly recommend doing it over a usb stick with dos on it rather than through windows. Once you're at v1.5+ you have the option of doing it straight from the UEFI as long as you have a internet connection.
Pretty good drive. As of now, I don't know if the difference in performance between a nvme drive and an ssd is worth it for most people
Best drive to get right now.
Decent drive. Go with reds for reliability
Video Card
It's a good card, no 2 ways about it but the reference cooler is ****, it chokes the card pretty frequently and is definitely not value for money. I usually go with the ti release but gambled on this card since the ti release was nowhere in sight when I got this card in September. With the new Xp release, I feel completely screwed over since they sold me a 12 cylinder car with one cylinder turned off only to start selling the same thing with the full 12 cylinders 6 months later. I won't be buying a titan again. If AMD can deliver competition to this card, I would be happy to switch over.
Power Supply
Good, reliable power supply
Operating System
I hate this adware/spyware OS. It is literal dogshit. You can throw thousands of dollars to polish this turd but sadly macbook or my Ubuntu Elitebook are still a much better overall user experience. If I get over gaming, I will be installing a proper OS on this computer
After using a retina macbook, I could see the difference in the detail of text between that and anything 1080p and there was no going back. I value 4k detail a lot more than 144Hz and this tn monitor has served me well so far. It's not the best out there but for the price, it's pretty good.
I initially got a razer keyboard but it's not very good for couch gaming. It weighs more than a laptop and doesn't sit well in a living room, I really like this keyboard. It has a solid construction, it is really light and has a good battery life.
Pretty good overall. I wish it didn't have such an ugly shroud and maybe a little better fan
They sound really good, they're comfortable for short periods but if you don't have them on just right, they can get uncomfortable
Love this thing, it powers everything I throw at it well and has 4k passthrough
This things sound better than a movie theater

Modern & Contemporary Art
From the first annual exhibitions of local artists to the current explorations of art from across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia, building a comprehensive collection of modern and contemporary art has always been central to the mission of the MFAH. The collecting department of modern and contemporary art has grown to more than 1,400 objects spanning six continents. Learn more about this collection below.
Collecting Areas
Major figures in the evolution modern and contemporary art, with a particular emphasis on the progress of abstraction, are represented across the 20th century and into the 21st. This segment of the Museum's collection begins with foundational works by Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris, and Fernand Léger from the Cubist years, with additional masterpieces by Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian, Constantin Brancusi, and Lionel Feininger representing the wider range of early European Modernism.
The Surrealist era is introduced with works by Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Roberto Matta, Joan Miró, and Yves Tanguy. Works by painters and sculptors of the New York School have been collected in exceptional depth, with outstanding examples by Adolph Gottlieb, Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and David Smith, among others. Color Field painting is also a particular focus of the collection, with notable works by Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, and Kenneth Noland. The complementary currents of Pop Art and Minimalism are introduced with works by Lee Bontecou, Jasper Johns, Claes Oldenburg, Ed Ruscha, Robert Rauschenberg, and Andy Warhol and by Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, and Frank Stella.
Postwar European artists in the collection range from Pierre Alechinsky, Anthony Caro, Niki de Saint-Phalle, and Jean Tinguely to Rebecca Horn, Anselm Kiefer, Giuseppe Penone, and Gerhard Richter. Collecting in the new millennium has opened up new avenues of exploration, from the light-based works of James Turrell, Jennifer Steinkamp, and Bill Viola to artists who challenge accepted art-historical narratives, including Nan Goldin, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, Do Ho Suh, and Fred Wilson. The Museum also collects the work of artists who have made Texas their home, from Forrest Bess to Mark Flood. Special emphasis is given to artists who have participated in the Core Fellowship Program of the Museum's Glassell School, including Trenton Doyle Hancock, Julie Mehretu, and Clarissa Tossin.
Special Collections
The Caroline Wiess Law Collection
Caroline Wiess Law (1918–2003) brought an uncompromising eye and great flair to her collection of Modern masterpieces. Born in Beaumont, Texas, and raised in Houston, she took true joy in the pursuit of great paintings and sculpture. Her first landmark acquisition was Pablo Picasso's Two Women in Front of a Window, 1927, which in 1964 was her first magnificent gift to the MFAH. By the 1980s she had begun collecting in earnest, ranging from Surrealism to Pop Art, with a special emphasis on the leading figures of the New York School, including Willem de Kooning, Arshile Gorky, Adolph Gottlieb, Hans Hofmann, Philip Guston, Joan Mitchell, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, and her personal favorite, Franz Kline.
The Edward R. Broida Bequest
Edward R. Broida (1933–2006), an architect and real estate developer, began collecting art in 1978 when he first came upon the late figurative paintings of Philip Guston. This encounter quickly ignited a passion for art that was independent from the mainstream, with a particular emphasis on expressive figuration and new materials. The Broida Bequest at the MFAH encompasses over 200 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, including major works by Guston, Wolfgang Laib, Elizabeth Murray, Ken Price, and Peter Shelton, among others.
Texas Highlights
A significant segment in the MFAH commitment to modern and contemporary art is art from Texas. More than 2,000 works ranging across all media testify to the rich and varied history of this region. Paintings by artists such as Forrest Bess, John Biggers, and Dorothy Hood represent the first coming-of-age of Texas art. John Alexander, Vernon Fisher, Melissa Miller, James Surls, and Luis Jimenez among others, were among the pioneering artists to map the Postmodern Texas landscape in the 1980s and 1990s. Recent acquisitions of artworks by Trenton Doyle Hancock, Robyn O'Neil, and Mark Flood attest to the ongoing and vibrantly creative evolution of the Lone Star State.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced at a public board meeting today that the probable cause of the September 27, 2008 crash of a Maryland State Police medevac Aerospatiale (Eurocopter) near Andrews Air Force Base was primarily due to pilot error.
The pilot, one flight paramedic, one field provider, and one of two automobile accident patients being transported were killed. The other patient being transported survived with serious injuries from the helicopter accident.
The family of the patient killed in the helicopter crash, Ashley Younger, attended today's hearing with their helicopter crash attorney, Cara Luther of Washington, D.C. Ms. Luther stated that "Ashley's family is pleased that the NTSB appears to have thoroughly investigated this accident to determine its cause. They are hopeful that all of the recommendations that the NTSB has made to the various organizations are fully adopted without further delay so that this type of crash never occurs again."
The NTSB found that the pilot failed to adhere to instrument approach procedures when he did not prevent the helicopter's descent at the MDA (minimum descent altitude). Furthermore, the Board concluded that the pilot likely became preoccupied with looking for the ground, which he could not identify before impact because of the lack of external visual cues.
The NTSB noted several contributing factors to the cause of the accident:
- the pilot's limited recent instrument flight experience
- the lack of adherence to effective risk management procedures by the Maryland State Police
- the pilot's inadequate assessment of the weather
- the failure of the Potomac Consolidated Terminal Radar Approach Control (PCT) controller to provide the current Andrews Air Force Base weather observation to the pilot
- the increased workload on the pilot due to inadequate FAA air traffic control handling by the Ronald Reagan National Airport Tower and PCT controllers
