Teachers Encouraged To Participate in Reforms
Washington--Charging teachers to take more responsibility for creating as well as carrying out educational policy, Patricia Albjerg Graham, dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, said here last week that "if we have learned one thing from the implementation research of the last two decades, it is that top-down reforms undertaken without the participation of those who must carry them out are doomed to failure."
Ms. Graham, the keynote speaker for a three-day conference sponsored by the National Education Association, said, "Americans ... need to come to fundamental agreement about what we want our schools to do, [and] professional educators ... need to participate actively in that discussion, providing the expertise about both the vision of education and the means of implementing it that they uniquely have."
Restructuring Schools
About 350 nea members attended the meeting, which was called to discuss how teachers can put into effect the restructuring of public schools proposed in "An Open Letter to America on Schools, Students, and Tomorrow," a reform plan presented by the organization at its annual convention last summer. (See Education Week, August 22, 1984.)
The conference dealt primarily with issues raised in the letter, including how to increase the level of responsibility and the professionalism of teachers; how to change teacher training and evaluation; and how to encourage greater federal support for public schools.
A Dreaded Ritual
Arthur E. Wise, senior social scientist for The Rand Corporation, focused on teacher-evaluation systems, calling for the "professionalization of teaching."
Current methods of evaluation have "little utility in most of our school systems," he said. "It is a ritual dreaded by both teacher and administrator alike ... a classic waste of time."
Mr. Wise proposed a "professional evaluation system" with more administrators trained in a greater variety of subjects or teachers assuming greater responsibility for evaluation. In order to judge the quality of teaching effectively, he said, evaluators must be thoroughly familiar with the subject being taught.
Use of Technology
F. James Rutherford, chief education officer of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, echoed Ms. Graham, saying that teachers must take a more active role bringing about changes in schools.
"Teachers have been defensive ... but have not come up with their own reforms," he said. "We have to take some initiative."
He stressed that teachers must learn how to use a variety of technologies in their classrooms, including radio and video in addition to computers, but he cautioned against integrating them into the schools without planning thoroughly first.
Mr. Rutherford said it should be the federal government's role to initiate and support research and development efforts on how new technologies can be used in the classroom.
He also called for the year-round employment of teachers, saying "we can't do it on a 19th-century farm year."
The syndicated columnist Carl T. Rowan attacked the Reagan Administration for cuts in spending on social programs, particularly education. "We're in for some tough, rough days in the field of education if you don't fight it," he warned. "It isn't going to get any better in another Reagan term."
Mr. Rowan said the budget cuts in domestic programs are "not saving me money [because] I'm going to pay for it in reform schools, cops, and welfare programs."
Other Proposals
Other proposals of the union's restructuring plan discussed by participants included: student "mastery" as the goal for student promotion rather than age-level grouping; beginning schooling at age 4; greater flexibility in curriculum and scheduling; higher teacher salaries, beginning at $24,000; and the restructuring of local and state taxation systems to provide money for schools more equitably.
Mary Hatwood Futrell, president of the nea, urged participants to set goals and work to meet them, but she warned against getting "caught up in the idea we are leaders and forgetting that we are teachers."
"Our responsibility is not to play with ideas, but to apply ideas," she said.

In 1915, van Doesburg encountered the works of Piet Mondrian. He enjoyed Mondrian's complete abstraction of reality, which was also present in his own paintings. Van Doesburg contacted Mondrian and in 1917 they co-founded the De Stijl journal. This journal was made up of illustrations and articles about the ideals of artists of that time; it was an outlet for all people that were concerned with a new art. In May 1920, van Doesburg started publishing experimental poems under the name Bonset. A spread from De Stijl, volume 4, number 11 is one of van Doesburg's great works because it is a strong example of the stylistic characteristics sought after in the De Stijl movement. It is a spread of van Doesburgs poems laid out in an interesting and asymmetric way. It uses the principles of orthogonals and experiments with variations in letter sizes. This layout is important because it exhibits how De Stijl principles can be translated from painting into typography.
The journal was pivotal to the De Stijl movement. The primary principle of this movement was to create ultimate simplicity and abstraction. The stylistic characteristics represented in the De Stijl journal were the "stripping down of the traditional forms of architecture, furniture, painting or sculpture into simple 'basic' geometric components," a "studied and sometimes extreme asymmetry of composition or design," only using 'orthogonals' (horizontal and vertical lines) and the exclusive use of red, yellow, blue, white, grey and black (Overy 11). The journal itself did not use much color, if any, but it did follow the other typographic principles.
Van Doesburg was influenced by Cubism paintings and M. H. J Schoenmaekers' neoplatonic philosophy that focuses on ideal geometric forms. A social influence of his work and ideas was the First World War. Since the
The purpose of the De Stijl journal was for artists and architects to be connected stylistically and ideologically, and to promote the De Stijl movement. The De Stijl movement was a way to move on from the time of the war and create a new art. Theo van Doesburg desired to make a style-less art. The artists from the De Stijl movement, especially its founders van Doesburg, Mondrian, Bar Van der Leck, Anthony Kok, Vilmos Huszar, and J.J.P. Oud, were concerned with new ways of conceptualizing and producing art and design. They also cared about the way it interacted with society. Some of the ideas of De Stijl were the "insistence on the social role of art, design and architecture," a "belief in a balance between the universal and collective and the specific and individual," a "utopian faith in the transforming qualities of mechanization and new technology" and a "conviction that art and design have the power to change the future (and also the lives and life-styles of individuals)" (Overy 12). The work towards a style-less art influenced the Bauhaus movement and the international style of architecture.
Another graphic design achievement of van Doesburg was Architype Van Doesburg, a font that was based on his new alphabet designed in 1919. It was later rendered digitally by Freda Sack and David Quay of The Foundry. Architype Van Doesburg is a geometric sans-serif typeface. Perpendicular strokes make up the face and each character is based on a square divided into 25 smaller squares. Van Doesburg's alphabet was "in limited quantity, made up of letterpress ruling pieces, and not as strictly formed as his more finished 1919 version" (Wikipedia). The purpose of the typeface is to develop form from the function of the text. The geometric text follows the ideas of De Stijl, staying with the use of orthogonals. The font allows for another way to incorporate this new style of De Stijl into typography and graphic design.
Van Doesburg's dream of starting a movement of new art did lead to some great works and even contributed to the huge Bauhaus movement, but I don't think that it ever reached its goal to unify the world through art. De Stijl was based off the dream for a style-less style. This created some interesting pieces, but in the end it is not what everyone wants. Style is too implemented into design and art to be taken away for good. The idea of simplicity was very prevalent during the De Stijl movement, and is an important option for design today. Some times less is more, but not in every case, which I feel is what van Doesburg wanted.
After thinking about what was important to van Doesburg, I decided to redo the Mangia's Pizza menu as a puzzle. The basic philosophy of van Doesburg was unity. I thought that puzzle pieces coming together and unifying to form the cover of the menu would be a good way to honor van Doesburg. The inside of the menu listed all the items in a style reminiscent of the De Stijl journal. Lists and orthogonal lines organize the page, with a couple of diagonals used to represent when van Doesburg strayed away from partner Mondrian.

Grilled potatoes are a great addition to any meal because you can season the spuds differently each time to pair with your other flavors of the day. Sealing them up in a foil packet lets them steam on the grill, locking in moisture and flavor. This recipe serves 2-4 people, depending on how much you want to eat.
- 4-5 medium Red Potatoes
- Thyme
- 3 cloves Garlic
- Salt
- Pepper
- Optional: Lemon-Thyme Butter
Here's what I did:
First, scrub your potatoes clean and dry them off. Next comes the shortcut: cut each potato in half, then place the halves cut side down on a plate. Microwave the potatoes for about 5 minutes until softened but still have a bite. This will cut down on the grill cooking time and ensure your potatoes are ready with the rest of your food.
Give the potatoes a moment to cool when they come out of the microwave. Then cut into bite-sized pieces. Create sealable foil packets and divide the potatoes between them.
Cut the garlic cloves in half and divide between your foil packets. Add a drizzle of olive oil, salt & pepper, and a few sprigs of fresh thyme. If using, throw on a dollop of the lemon-thyme butter.
Seal the foil packets and place on the grill over indirect heat. Grill for about 10 minutes until the potatoes are soft and ready to be eaten.
Carefully open the foil packets, allowing the hot steam to escape away from you. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Reference values and z-score calculations for fetal tissue Doppler E, A, and S waves added to new fetal echo z-score app.
I just wrapped up the design and implementation of a new fetal echo z-score site (fetal.parameterz.com) and as a test of the new modular design, I added the fetal tissue Doppler data from this recent article:
Gestational age- and estimated fetal weight-adjusted reference ranges for myocardial tissue Doppler indices at 24-41 weeks' gestation.
Comas M, Crispi F, Gómez O, Puerto B, Figueras F, Gratacós E.
Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol. 2011 Jan;37(1):57-64.
Although the article provides equations that adjust for fetal weight, since no pediatric cardiologist has ever asked me to estimate the fetal weight *wipes brow*, I have only included the gestational age-adjusted equations.
Jumping ahead for just a second, here is an example of the results page:
fetal tissue Doppler z-scores for a 28wk4d fetus
and here is an example chart:
fetal tissue Doppler LV TDI S vs. EGA
Implementing a class that provided a common interface for calculating a mean, range, and z-score was non-trivial for this reference. There are no fewer than 5 distinct models that govern the E', A', and S' calculations:
- linear model with constant variance
- linear model with non-constant variance
- log-linear model with constant variance (log-normal)
- log-linear model with non-constant variance (NOT log-normal ?)
- log-polynomial model with non-constant variance (NOT log-normal?)
A second challenge was getting my calculations (based on the published data) to reconcile with the supplemental material (an Excel spreadsheet). In a few instances the spreadsheet used data with more significant digits than in the article, and in a few other instances the spreadsheet incorrectly exponentiates the "standard deviation" term. In the end, I figured that I had to go with the published data over the supplemental data. Also, it became clear after referring to the charts that the spreadsheet data was incorrect.
Apart from the multiple models and the occasional inconsistency in the formulae, there is also the small matter of the article failing to provide the typical correlation coefficients for the models, and, therefore, necessarily omitting the "R-squared" values. The R2 tell us about the goodness-of-fit or, sometimes, how much of the variance is explained by the model. For some of the dependent variables this seemed like an important omission as the models appear promising. I have included the data for the E', A', and S' because they do look somewhat promising. I did not include the data for the derived values like the E'/A', E/E' ratios or the MPI calculations because, to me, they seem dodgy—particularly without an R2.

- New calculations for fetal tissue Doppler
- I welcome your comments and criticisms

Magic in the Moonlight
Magic in the Moonlight is a 2014 romantic comedy film written and directed by Woody Allen. It is Allen's 44th film.[5] The film stars Emma Stone, Colin Firth, Hamish Linklater, Marcia Gay Harden, Jacki Weaver, Erica Leerhsen, Eileen Atkins, and Simon McBurney. Set in the 1920s on the French Riviera, the film was released on July 25, 2014, by Sony Pictures Classics. Magic in the Moonlight received a generally mixed reception. Critics praised the performances of Firth and Stone, but found its writing formulaic.

In 1928, a globally famous illusionist, Wei Ling Soo, performs in front of a crowd in Berlin with his world-class magic act. As he walks off stage the film audience sees that he is actually a British man named Stanley (Colin Firth). He berates his employees and is generally curmudgeonly towards his well-wishers. In his dressing-room, he is greeted by old friend and fellow illusionist Howard Burkan (Simon McBurney). Howard enlists Stanley to go with him to the Côte d'Azur where a rich American family, the Catledges, has apparently been taken in by a clairvoyant and mystic, Sophie (Emma Stone). In fact, the son of the family, Brice (Hamish Linklater), is smitten with Sophie, and his sister Caroline (Erica Leerhsen) and brother-in-law George (Jeremy Shamos) are concerned Brice is considering proposing marriage. Howard says that he has been unable to uncover the secrets behind her tricks and he admits that the more he watched her the more he believed she really has supernatural powers. So he would like Stanley, who has debunked charlatan mystics in the past, to help him prove she is a fraud.
Howard and Stanley travel to the French Riviera, but Stanley is soon astonished by Sophie's ability to go into a fugue state and apparently pull out highly personal details about him and his family. Stanley witnesses a seance in which Sophie communicates with the deceased patriarch of the American family. A candle floats up from the table and Howard grabs it to try to discern what trickery is at play, but is astounded to find no apparent subterfuge. Stanley begins spending time with Sophie. He takes her to visit his aunt and they drive a convertible along the picturesque rocky corniches.
When Stanley and Sophie visit his aunt Vanessa (Eileen Atkins), Sophie is seemingly able, after holding aunt Vanessa's pearls, to somehow relate secret details of Vanessa's one great love affair. This finally convinces Stanley of Sophie's authenticity and he has an emotional epiphany, feeling that his lifelong rationalism and cynicism have been misguided. When caught in a rain storm, they end up at an observatory that Stanley had visited as a child. After the rain subsides, they open the roof up and view the stars.
At a Gatsby-esque party, Stanley and Sophie dance. As they walk together later that night, Sophie asks him if he has felt any feelings for her "as a woman". Stanley, who has admired her talents as a mystic and is grateful to her for opening his eyes to a new worldview, is taken aback and admits that he has not thought of her that way. She leaves upset. The next day Stanley holds a press conference to tell the world that he, who spent his life debunking charlatan mystics, has finally come to find one who is the real deal. The reporters drill him with questions, but the grilling is interrupted when he receives news his aunt Vanessa has been in a car accident.
Stanley rushes to the hospital, and in an emotional scene in a waiting room considers turning to prayer for solace. That is, if he now has come to believe in divination and mysticism, perhaps he should believe in God and prayer. He begins to pray for a miracle to save his aunt, but is unable to go through with it. The rationality that has been his whole life comes back and he rejects prayer, the supernatural and by extension, Sophie and her powers. He decides once more to prove she is a fraud.
Using a trick seen earlier in his stage act, Stanley appears to leave the room but stays to overhear Sophie and Howard discuss their collusion in what has been an elaborate ruse. He discovers that Sophie was able to know so much about him and his aunt because she and Howard collaborated to fool Stanley. Sophie was indeed a charlatan tricking the rich American family and was quickly discovered by Howard. Rather than unmask her and stop the ruse, he enlisted Sophie to help him one-up his best friend and rival, Stanley.
Stanley is initially angry at Howard and Sophie but decides to forgive them. In a conversation with his aunt Vanessa, who has recovered from her car accident, Stanley admits and fully realizes that he is in love with Sophie. He finds her and asks her not to marry Brice, but marry him instead. Sophie is taken aback and finds his haughty, awkward proposal unsuitable. She tells him she still plans to marry the wealthy Brice. Returning dejected to his aunt Vanessa's, Stanley further admits that he fell in love with Sophie at first sight, and, saddened, is then surprised when Sophie, who had arrived before him, knocks a spirit knock. He proposes, she accepts with a spirit knock, and they kiss as the film ends.

Critical receptionEdit
Magic in the Moonlight received mixed reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 51%, based on 183 reviews, with an average rating of 5.89/10. The site's consensus states: "While far from a failure, Magic in the Moonlight is too slight to stand with Woody Allen's finest work."[21] Review aggregator Metacritic assigns the film a score of 54 out of 100, based on 40 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[22]
Rex Reed, writing for The New York Observer, gave the film a largely positive review, calling it "a masterstroke of enchantment" and praising Colin Firth's acting.[23] Jordan Hoffman of Film.com also enjoyed the film, stating, "This picture isn't as showy or obvious as one of his (many) masterpieces, but it is quite good and deserves your time and respect."[24] In The New Yorker, David Denby agreed that Colin Firth "carries [the film] through."[25] In The Wall Street Journal, Joe Morgenstern complimented Emma Stone and concluded, "Think of it as a 97-minute séance that draws you in, spins you around, subverts your suppositions, levitates your spirits and leaves you giddy with delight".[26]
However, in Vanity Fair, Richard Lawson criticized Emma Stone's acting, arguing, "her line delivery is too modern to really work convincingly in the period, and like many other nonetheless talented actors, she has trouble with Allen's stilted, formal cadence." He added that the age gap between Stone and Firth was "a little gross" and "icky".[27] Alan Scherstuhl of the Village Voice disliked the film, criticizing its familiarity from Allen's previous work and believing the writing was uninspired.[28] Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly gave the movie a "B-" grade (from A+ to F), remarking that it was funny and "pleasant" but also forgettable.[29] Salon's Andrew O'Hehir felt that the characters were not drawn out enough because of poor writing.[30] The New York Times' A. O. Scott wrote: "Mr. Allen has had his ups and downs over the years. Rarely, though, has he put a story on screen that manifests so little energy, so little curiosity about its own ideas and situations."[5]
In 2016 film critics Robbie Collin and Tim Robey ranked it as one of the worst movies by Woody Allen.[31]
Box officeEdit
The film opened in limited release in North America on July 25, 2014. In 17 theaters, it grossed $412,095 ($24,241 per screen) in its opening weekend.[4] It expanded to 964 theaters on August 15, grossing $1,786,150 ($1,853 per screen) in three days.[32] By the end of its North American run, it grossed $10,539,326.[4]
Internationally the film earned $40.5 million, for a worldwide gross of $51 million.[33]

Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Founded in 1875, Indiana University of Pennsylvania is a vibrant, comprehensive, research-based, teaching-focused, student-centered learning community. IUP combines the academic opportunities of a large university with the highly personalized and intimate learning-centered environment of a small college.
Not only does IUP offer an abundance of undergraduate and master?s programs, but it is the only university in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education to offer Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Degrees are offered from the broader, more traditional (philosophy, anthropology) to the career specific (safety sciences, respiratory therapy). IUP students enjoy a 16:1 student/faculty ratio. Nearly all classes are taught by faculty members, as opposed to graduate assistants.
The University Libraries consists of the Stapleton/Stabley building, the Orendorff Music Library, the Punxsutawney Regional Library, and the Northpointe Regional Library. The Stapleton/Stabley building, which serves as the central university library, houses the main book and periodical collections, technical and public services, special collections and archives, as well as media resources and services. All libraries and all services are an integral part of IUP Libraries, a system whose resources are linked by means of an automated union catalog.
Students benefit from the leadership, professional, service, and social opportunities offered by more than 250 exciting student organizations, including 32 fraternities and sororities. IUP has been ranked sixth in student clubs and activities among colleges in the mid-Atlantic region by College Insider.
Located in the heart of Indiana, Pennsylvania, IUP?s main campus has grown from 12 acres and one building in 1875, to 354 acres and 65 major buildings. The IUP Student Cooperative Association not only owns and operates the Hadley complex adjacent to the main campus but also owns and maintains a 280-acre outdoor recreational park a short distance away.

When you love someone/something, you have to allot a special portion of your life towards nurturing your love. In this process, you have to kill your self. You no longer possess that self. It cannot return back. It is a slow death. You gradually keep on losing yourself to pursuits you love, as you chart your path in this maze called life.
Love lot like any other biological function happens repeatedly till we die. The one thing which separates love from other needs is its blinding hold on the self. It always feels that love 'like this' has never happened before and will never happen ever again. And, in all probability this ought to be true. This is how I would I'd like to define 'Love'. Or I really don't understand love.
I strongly believe that things which consume our mind, consume our bodies too. They decide our physical existence. Beginning of love can be thought of as the aroma of a new exotic delicacy. Yes, the romance we experience in the early days is lot like that aroma which captivates us for the first time.
We tend to get attracted, distracted & diverted as we keep on moving forward to play a part in the nature cycle of birth, sustenance & death. These are the ways to make us get into the self-destructive act of loving. All the same, you resist love or accept it, the effects are not going to change. Love is going to topple all your ideas of life; and about yourself. You can then choose to stand in that hurricane waiting for it to get over or become a part of it & lose your identity. Losing your identity is the bravest thing you can do. It makes your realise the magnanimity of nature and your feeble yet essential role in it.
Love batters you, moulds you into a new being to be fed into the circle of existence. The part of you which died takes a form of fossil to give clues to earthly beings as to what to expect next.
Love is always a matter of choice. No matter how we feel about it. It is a full time job. You have to nurture your love. Let's look at it as something which is killing or burning you from inside. But, if you take its proper care, it cures a lot of things. It hastens the process of your dissolution of existence into mother nature. It is what mother nature wants from you. And, so she cures you by love. If you resist, you get reprimanded. Accepting love, and losing yourself in the hurricane to metamorphose into something the world needs is indeed art. Art is Love. So, love is love. Excuse me! What is love? Love is what you lack...perhaps!

Love Kills You ... but What Doesn't?

What's so "progressive" about billboards?
It so happens that the billboards and the radio station are owned by the same corporation, Clear Channel. That's the very same outfit suing the city to make dozens of billboards even bigger.
I suggested here yesterday that, as taxpayers, we might save ourselves and our City big bucks if we snatch the billboard issue from the lawyers and publicly boycott Clear Channel advertisers who blight our landscape.
If you boycott KPOJ (with its ubiquitous three monkeys ad), you get a two-fer. You end up boycotting Clear Channel twice—as the station owner and as the billboard owner.
Ah, the perils of being a media conglomerate!
The downside: You have to forgo the insights and verve of talker Thom Hartmann for the duration…. Then again, he might just want to chat about his corporate "parent's" suing his adopted city.
How about it, Thom? Any thoughts about protecting "the Commons" from the folks who sign your check?
By the way, if you visit the Clear Channel site for buying billboard space in Portland you are treated some fascinating market statistics and a idyllic photo of a Portland notably and ironically unblighted by billboards.

The Next Chapter for E Ink: Talking with CEO Russ Wilcox About Yesterday's Acquisition News
(Page 2 of 3)
supply others. The market can see many types of displays, and we'll continue to focus on building an ecosystem of multiple e-paper sources and multiple e-paper devices.
X: So PVI apparently feels there's no contradiction between making its own e-paper product and supplying parts so that others can make similar products?
RW: That's not uncommon in the electronics industry. For example, you'll see a big guy like a Samsung or a Sony with one division that makes chips for digital cameras, and another that makes digital cameras, but the chip might also be picked up by a few other brands. It takes the investment you've made in the core technology and allows you to spread it out over multiple different developers and paths to market.
X: You are one of the few people at E Ink who has been there throughout the entire ride, since 1997. What's it like to finally reach this exit event?
RW: I'm really glad to be able to get some payoff for the people who put money into E Ink. I guess we went through eight rounds. That's a lot of investor meetings, and all the way along you're telling investors how you expect to make money for them. It's very gratifying to be able to put reality into that. Everybody who has invested in E Ink in the last five years is going to do well.
For me, personally, my view is that it was time for us to become a public company. Given the size of the company and the amount of investment going on, it was just no longer appropriate to be venture-backed. The IPO market is closed, and these guys are very good friends that we've worked with for years, and together we make a pretty interesting public company that's totally focused on e-paper and traded on global exchanges. And there is no SarbOx to contend with, because they are headquartered in Taiwan and are on the Taiwan stock exchange. So this is pretty interesting. I view it as the next chapter of what I hope will be a longer story of expansion.
X: For a lot of companies, an acquisition by a far-away foreign company might lead to some difficult cultural readjustments and communications issues. It sounds like you've already dealt with a lot of that with PVI.
RW: We've already been working with them for five years, and as I said, they're our top customer. We have massive communications going back and forth with them already, and all of our management team knows all of their management team, and all of our engineers know all of their engineers. So there is this great interface between the companies already. We have compatible styles. This is a company that was the first business in Taiwan to build an active-matrix display factory. Their management team and ownership loves e-paper passionately, the way we do. It's just a great fit. They are betting their company on e-paper. I think it's going to work well, and it's a known quantity on the cultural elements. That doesn't mean it's going to be easy. There is the time zone difference, and the language challenge. So it's not easy, but I'm certain it can suceed.
X: After most acquisitions of venture funded startups, it's not too long before the CEO and other senior leaders depart. Sri Peruvemban [E Ink's vice president of marketing] said today that E Ink's top officers are staying in place for now and that the future shape of the management of the company is "to be determined." What are your own plans?
RW: I'm utterly absorbed in what's going on here and I'm going to stay totally focused on it. I'm going to try to build a global multinational of some importance in the e-paper space. I think we're just starting to see the impact on society. As a business person—and fundamentally I'm a business guy—this is a really fascinating business, and it's becoming even more … Next Page »

Si Dieu n'existait pas, il faudrait l'inventer.
Editorial: If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. Voltaire wrote this famous (and largely misunderstood) aphorism in 1768 in an epistle denouncing a group of atheists. Taken out of context it seems weirdly pragmatic and even cynical, and at odds with Voltaire's faith in the sublime (in his words, the bridle to the wicked) and in a shared order in society (created by a heavenly architect). For those of us with less confidence than Voltaire, the question is not whether you might believe God actually exists, but rather whether the act of believing in a god is a right and good thing.
Addendum: A little anthropology will help with any confusion lurking out there. Anthropology maintains that religious beliefs and the gods they create are extensions of old magic. Therefore the human product of religion necessarily flows from economics, politics, relationships of power, and other such human idiosyncrasies. As such you might even say that God is dead.

that's a wrap! christmas wrapping made easy.
my go-to for christmas wrap is kraft paper mixed with a bright patterned paper and fun, textured embellishments. it's super easy and looks great every time. this year i embellished with red satin ribbon, bright green raffia and charm & fig letter press holiday tags, a mix of shiny and matte finishes that add interesting textures to the whole look.
pssst! if you ever underestimate your box size and fall short of wrapping a gift with paper you already cut, just cover up the unwrapped section with a band of contrasting wrapping paper and BOOM, you're a creative genius that didn't break the 'measure twice, cut once' rule.

Kava kava is an erotic friend of mine. Which may surprise those who think of this root from the South Seas as a sleep-inducing sedative. And which may dismay those who think of Piper methysticum as a standardized extract or capsule or pill capable of causing liver failure.
As for the latter, my reading, and my own experiences, led me to believe that my liver is quite safe if I restrict my kava kava consumption to water-based preparations. And, again from my own experiences, infusions of the fresh or dried root fermented in water are also far stronger in effect than capsules, pills, or extracts. I let my kava kava brew sit for 1-10 days before use. It seems to get stronger the longer it sits.
As to the former, I found kava kava ready to ease me into sleep, 'tis true, if I wished. I also found a cup or two of the brew ready to help me through a day of work or an evening of play (in bed). As always, the set (what you think is going to happen, or what you set your mind to have happen) and the setting (where you are physically and emotionally) have a lot to do with the effect you experience. Enjoy!

Do you let it sit/ferment just with the water? Or do you add anything to culture it....like whey or ____?

It may have come three days late, but Brandon's historic Strand Theatre, closed since 2005, received a very welcome 100th birthday present. On November 30th, 2016, Brandon University purchased what is the last remaining theatre building in the city's core for one dollar from its owners, Landmark Cinemas.
The Strand opened in 1916 as Brandon's largest theatre. It also ushered in the era of talking pictures and Sunday entertainment to the Wheat City.

January 2018 UPDATE: Not long after taking over the building, engineers hired by BU determined that the structure was beyond saving. Read my update here.

Marvel Comics September 2017 Solicitations Spoilers & July 2017 Preview: Spider-Men II #1 Has 2 Spider-Man & 2 Miles Morales? Generations: Spiders #1 Leaves 2 Peter Parker In Marvel Legacy?
Marvel Comics and Spider-Man Spoilers follow with September 2017 Solicitations Spoilers and July 2017 Preview.
We know that Marvel Comics is giving us Generations as a mid-Secret Empire event, with several one-shots of modern day and classic Marvel heroes, that includes Generations: Spiders #1. That one-shot reveals that the Silver Age teenager Peter Parker as Spider-Men somehow traveling to modern day and interacting with the modern-day Spider-Man of Miles Morales originally from the Ultimate Universe. Marvel says this not a hoax, but real. That launches in September 2017.
On top of that, we have the sequel to Spider-Men in a Spider-Men II mini-series. That book features the modern era Amazing Spider-Man who is an adult Peter Parker interacting with a teenager Miles Morales as Spider-Man, originally from the Ultimate Universe, looking for the Marvel Universe's Miles Morales. The 5 issues mini-series kicks off with Spider-Men II #1 in July 2017.
As Marvel Comics heads into the post Generations and post Secret Empire era of Marvel Legacy we seem to still have 2 Spider-Men as well as 2 Peter Parker and 2 Miles Morales in the main Marvel Earth.
Should be interesting!
Below is Marvel Comics' news release concerning Spider-Men II which includes teaser / preview art.
THIS IS IT, TRUE BELIEVERS! The moment five years in the making is finally here! The first time Peter Parker and Miles Morales met ended with a question — WHO IS THE MILES MORALES OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE?! Now that the Miles you know and love is with Peter in the Marvel Universe, you're finally going to get that answer to who the OTHER Miles Morales is! And that's just the tip of the iceberg as Brian Michael Bendis (Defenders, Spider-Man) and Sara Pichelli (Spider-Man) bring you the next heart-stopping adventure for both Peter Parker and Miles Morales with Marvel Comics' SPIDER-MEN II!
Speaking with Marvel.com, Bendis spoke towards Peter and Miles both holding onto the Spider-Man title in the Marvel Universe, "One of my favorite things about a shared universe, is that on top of what you're writing for the characters, other things are happening to the characters, like now Miles is in the new universe, and now he's a part of the Champions, and half of [Civil War II] was people fighting over his head, so things have changed in his life, and his relationship to the Marvel Universe is completely different than it was in the first series and that's exciting."

I'm afraid that the 'faults' of Namespaces in XML have already raised objections, though I certainly can't comment on whether they are self-serving or not. There are plenty of concerns regarding XML Schema, and XHTML isn't exactly receiving a rousing welcome from either vendors or the Web development community. I don't think any of this is surprising, nor do I think it likely that a TAG would have done anything to improve the public trust in these specifications. For a lot of us, it's not about doubt in the "continuing soundness" - it's doubt in what's been delivered so far.Received on Wednesday, 6 June 2001 12:16:27 UTC

Germany Beats The Netherlands 2-1
Germany Beats The Netherlands 2-1
German soccer fans were glued to their TV screens Wednesday night.
Hundreds of thousands gathered to watch the Euro Cup 2012 at the Brandenburger Tor, the biggest "Fanmeile" in Germany.
Other fans, like Betty Reichelt, prefered the cosy atmosphere of her neighborhood beer garden.
Reichelt says can't sit still whenever she watches the German team play.
"When I was a child, I played soccer. I was the goalkeeper like my father and my brother. Germany is the team with the best goalkeepers ever.
"I can see all the games because I organized my work around the European Cup. I am a lucky person because my boss is OK with it. I said, 'I love football. It's every two years, so please let me work around the cup.'"
Reichelt bakes cakes for a living, so she gets up very early in the morning, works for eight hours and spends the rest of the day watching the European Cup.
American Steve Bunn, a teacher from Seattle currently living in Europe, also hasn't missed a game. He likes visiting the German capital to soak up the special atmosphere.
"I really enjoy the big tournaments, whether it's the European Cup, or the World Cup, but it's fun when everyone is in the mood. And a lot of times, if you are in the in the States and you trying to watch these things, people are not in the mood.
"Even at the Fanmeile right now in Berlin, they have sort of a fan transformation space where you go in and they put a feather boa with the German colors around your neck, paint the German flag on your cheek, give you a noise maker. So, that was something that definitely sticks out."
The German team is one of the top picks to win the Euro Cup 2012. So far, the fans haven't been disappointed. Striker Mario Gomez has already kicked the German team into the quarter finals, beating equally strong teams from Portugal and the Netherlands.

Ten Reasons
Hire An Artist
Rick Jensen, 5/8/2014 [
A New Angle to Benghazi: Gunrunning
A New Angle to Benghazi: Gunrunning
By Rick Jensen
Democrats and their liberal flacks are rallying around the idea of boycotting the Select Committee to Investigate the Benghazi scandal.
Brilliant idea.
Just think of how much trust such a move would imbue in the American people if the Republicans had thought of that during the Iran-Contra hearings.
Meanwhile, police are investigating threats on the life of Select Committee Chair Rep. Trey Gowdy by the violent left.
This indicates radical liberals must believe there is a serious crime, for why else would they go to such extremes to silence the process?Surely it's not simply because President Obama and his administration lied about the nature of the Benghazi protests.It's likely because his supporters have read the domestic and foreign press reports about the true nature of the "facility" in Benghazi, Libya.
The New York Times has already reported weapons being shipped through Benghazi to the Syrian rebels under U.S. auspices.Seymour Hersh, the famous investigative reporter who exposed the My Lai massacre, reported extensively on the arms being shipped by the U.S. to Syrian rebels through Turkey.
This is the real fear: Hillary Clinton and perhaps President Obama will be exposed without credible deniability to have been shipping weapons to the Syrian rebels, who are mostly Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda affiliates.
Why would anyone care that the President lied?Because four Americans died and he's covering up the reason?Every President lies about something.A few, such as Nixon, LBJ and Clinton have lied to cover up incompetence, misbehavior and crimes.
Others simply lie about policies to push their agendas.
Lying to cover up the deaths of an ambassador and staff in an expected attack would surely erode confidence in the leader, but not nearly as much as the fact that he was instrumental in providing arms to Al Qaeda.
This is what the Select Committee really needs to learn: how many weapons had the retired Navy Seals, experts in weapons "transfers," shipped to Al Qaeda and their affiliates in Syria?Was the President aware of this program?Was the program designed by or approved by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and then Director of the CIA, David Petraeus?
I suspect that if you go back through the internet and read the New York Times reports as well as Seymour Hersh's reporting you'll come to the conclusion that Hillary Clinton and David Petraeus were in charge of this operation.
As Hersh reported, "...a secret agreement (was) reached in early 2012 between the Obama and Erdogan administrations. It pertained to the rat line. By the terms of the agreement, funding came from Turkey, as well as Saudi Arabia and Qatar; the CIA, with the support of MI6, was responsible for getting arms from Gaddafi's arsenals into Syria. A number of front companies were set up in Libya, some under the cover of Australian entities. Retired American soldiers, who didn't always know who was really employing them, were hired to manage procurement and shipping. The operation was run by David Petraeus."
Obama may not have known the specifics of the Benghazi trading post, but Hillary and Petraeus certainly did.
Sure, emails discovered by Judicial Watch show that the President and his administration schemed to cover up the nature of the attacks on the facility, but that's not the worst of it.
I would say that the worst of it is the gunrunning to jihadists itself.
This is also where it becomes so dangerous for Hillary Clinton's political future.Remember, she resigned just as the Benghazi investigations were beginning.What would happen to her viability as a Presidential candidate should she be found complicit in giving weapons to Al Qaeda and their affiliates?Would women still support her if it's proven that she was instrumental in arming jihadists intent on killing their children?
The political fallout would be measured in percentages of voters lost and volume of defensive propaganda maneuvers.
The question that really needs to be answered is, "Why were they doing this at all?"

Samoa beat Fiji in Pacific Cup
Sunday, May 20, 2007
Samoa drew first blood in the Pacific Cup rugby competition when they beat Fiji 8-3 in Apia, Samoa, today.
Only one try, by Samoan openside flanker Alapasa Cordtz, was scored on the muddy Apia Park as both teams shed their island-style running rugby for the tight forward slugfest.
Gavin Williams kicked a penalty for Samoa's other points and Fijian fullback Taniela Rawaqa kicked his team's only points from an early penalty.
Both teams lost the ball continually in the difficult conditions but Samoa's experience gave them an edge to penetrate the stubborn Fijian defence for the winner.
With both teams assembling players from overseas clubs, the experience factor became critical, with the home team showing more control in the contact area.
Tonga, Japan, Australia A and the Junior All Blacks are the other teams in the competition.

Left to right – the Vérité range: La muse (Merlot dominant); La Joie (Cabernet dominant), Le Désir (Cabernet Franc dominant)
On Tuesday 6 October, Barbara Banke, chairman of Jackson Family Wines, oversaw the UK launch of the 2012 vintage of Vérité, the company's flagship Sonoma County wine, along with a library release of the label from 2005.
To promote the latter, Jackson Family Wines showed the Vérité La Joie (a Cabernet-dominant Bordeaux blend) alongside Napa's most famous and expensive Cabernets all from the 2005 vintage: Harlan Estate, Scarecrow and Screaming Eagle.
After the tasting, attendees – which included 50 of London's leading sommeliers, fine wine buyers and a few press – were asked to vote on their favourite wine in the line-up, and a quick hand-count showed that Vérité and Screaming Eagle were the best, with a slight preference for the Vérité (which was almost 10 times cheaper than the bottle of Screaming Eagle).
Having witnessed this result, Nick Bevan, who is senior vice president at Jackson Family Wines, commented, "This shows that it's not necessarily the right decision to go to Napa for cult Cabernet."
Sonoma is California's best place for Cabernet, according to Julia Jackson, who is middle daughter of Barbara Banke and the late Jess Jackson
Agreeing with Bevan, Julia Jackson, who is middle daughter of Barbara Banke and the late Jess Jackson, then said, "Sonoma has a reputation for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but we believe it's the best place for Cabernet."
Speaking further about the result with db after the tasting was over, Julia said that she knew well the quality potential of Cabernet from Napa – Jackson Family Wines has a number of high-profile estates in the region, from Lokaya to Cardinale and Freemark Abbey.
However, she pointed out that Sonoma's Vérité consistently gets the highest scores: according to Julia, the wine brand, which has three annual releases – La Joie (a Cabernet dominant Bordeaux blend), La Muse (which is Merlot dominant) and Le Désir (which is Cabernet Franc dominant) – has gained a perfect 100 points by wine critic Robert Parker as many as nine times.
"Sonoma has not received that sort of recognition before; it is a huge honour for us, and helps build up the reputation of Sonoma County generally," she said, referring to the success of Vérité since its first vintage, which was 1998.
Continuing, she said that Sonoma – despite having a longer viticultural history than Napa – was in its "infancy". She also said that Sonoma was less famous because it didn't have the same marketing resources as Napa, which has benefitted from strong personalities, such as the late Robert Mondavi, and famous events, such as the 1976 Judgement of Paris tasting, when California's top Cabernets were pitted against leading clarets, and Napa labels won.
"Sonoma is in the background, but we want it to be at the forefront," she said.
Nevertheless, she recorded a growing interest in Sonoma for top-end Cabernet, noting that Gonzague and Claire Lurton from Château Durfort-Vivens in Margaux have purchased a property in Sonoma, which is near Vérité's winery in Chalk Hill.
This investment, which was made in 2012, has yielded a wine called Acaibo from a winery named Trinité Estate – and, importantly, the Lurtons have planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot at the Sonoma estate.
What an infuriating piece based upon a canard of a tasting with a flimsy premise and dubious results! I look forward to the day that some Sonoma wine producers come to terms with the
fact that Napa Valley is hardly their competition! Sonoma makes the best Sonoma wines and Napa makes the best Napa wines…. If I were Chris Carpenter [winemaker at Cardinale, La Jota, Lakoya & Mt. Brave] or Ted Edwards [Freemark Abbey] or Brian Kosi [Atalon] I would ask the Jackson Family mother-ship – "WTF denigrate Napa Valley when you own and operate six Napa Valley winery brands of great quality and repute!" The PR coordinator for this program must have been a rookie. Sophomoric, irrelevant and certainly a passé way to highlight California wine!
There doesn't seems to be any accounting for wine making technique and desired wine style here. Are the results purely based on fruit quality due to vineyard environment, soil and so on?
Sonoma stands on its own…..Napa stands on its own. Sonoma needs to rid itself of the chip on it's shoulder when it comes to Napa. At the end of the day, Napa simply does a better job of marketing itself.

Here are the steps involved.
You need chicken breasts, yogurt, tomatoes, curry sauce, single cream, ginger, olive oil, garlic, red chilies, cream, and onion. You will also need half a tablespoon each of turmeric, paprika, salt, ground cumin, ground coriander, and tomato sauce. First of all, you need to mix the curry sauce and yogurt in a bowl and then add chicken pieces to it. Make sure that the ingredients are mixed well. Now place it inside the refrigerator for at least two hours. Meanwhile, mix together the tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and cream in a bowl. Take the chicken out of the refrigerator and bake it in an oven for about ten minutes. While you do this, heat oil in a pan and add onions until it turns golden-brown. You should then add the chilies, paprika, salt, ground cumin, coriander, and tomato sauce to the pan and stir for a minute. Now take the chicken pieces out of the oven and put it in the pan. Fry the chicken for about five minutes. Now take the ingredients that were placed in the bowl earlier and add it to the pan and cook for about five minutes. You should then add a cup of water and cook for another minute. The tasty Chicken Tikka Masala that is available at the top restaurants and bars Singapore is now ready to serve. You should garnish the dish with coriander leaves before taking it to the table. It tastes best when you have it with rice delicacies.

Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The title Letters From a Dead Man sums up the story in this bleak speculative drama. Undoubtedly inspired by the Chernobyl incident, the film takes place in a Soviet village which is devastated by a nuclear meltdown. Professor Rolan Bykov, sitting alone in a bomb shelter, begins composing letters to his son, who disappeared shortly after the accident. Bykov knows that he himself is doomed; he hopes that such is not the case with his son. Letters From a Dead Man was written and directed by Andrei Tarkovsky-protégé Konstantin Lopushansky.

The only sound heard is the wind rustling through the tall dry grass of the great western High Plains. It feels as though you could walk forever and never see another living thing, but perhaps you will be lucky and see a coyote or an antelope.
Now days black stripes of pavement cut through these vast empty spaces. The occasional semi truck roars past in a wash of blustery power. People in a car loaded with luggage wave and are gone. Then all returns as before. The soft sigh of wind through grass resumes its murmur and I sigh along with it.
Prairie Homestead
A solitary home is dwarfed by the vast space of the western prairie in the US.

text: Market risk management under normal conditions traditionally has focussed on the distribution of portfolio value changes resulting from moves in the mid-price. Hence the market risk is really in a "pure" form: risk in an idealized market with no "friction" in obtaining the fair price. However, many markets possess an additional liquidity component that arises from a trader not realizing the mid-price when liquidating her position, but rather the mid-price minus the bid-ask spread. We argue that liquidity risk associated with the uncertainty of the spread, particularly for thinly traded or emerging market securities under adverse market conditions, is an important part of overall risk and is therefore an important component to model.

Ireland's town and city centres are not yet facing the same loss of sales to online retailing as those in the UK (now 17% of all sales according to the Centre for Retail Research), but they are extremely concerned about the likely impact of Brexit, still feeling the impact of out of town shopping, and seeing other social and technological change. An event in Sligo in October 2017 attracted delegates from across both the Republic and Northern Ireland to discuss the changes affecting town centres and how they can best respond.
Chaired by Bobby Kerr, the Chairman of Insomnia Coffee and a campaigner for 'Winning Back the High Street', the event opened by looking at the potentially eventually devastating impact of Brexit on many Irish towns despite the strength of the national economy. Catherine Curran, from the Department for Business, Enterprise and Innovation then presented the Framework for Town Centre Renewal (https://dbei.gov.ie/en/Publications/Publication-files/A-Framework-for-Town-Centre-Renewal.pdf) document that was launched in April 2017. This document was developed by an influential group of interested parties from the public and private sectors, including Dublin Town BID, who came together as the Retail Consultation Forum. Recognising the inherent strengths of town centres and their significant role in the economy, the document proposes a three-stage process for all town centres in the country.
Step One is to develop the evidence base by engaging with stakeholders and undertaking a health check. Guidance on this is provided in the report and indicators, such as footfall, diversity, competition, and vacancy, are described.
Step Two is about collaboration and bringing together a group of stakeholders. The document talks about local champions and representation and provides examples from existing Town Teams, BIDs and other partnerships in various locations.
The third step is the preparation of a plan for town centre renewal with a vision, strategy and action plan and some key performance indicators. The Framework helpfully highlights the national policy framework within which local action plans will need to operate. It also looks at potential interventions and details how these should be addressed.
Although much of what is in the Framework will be familiar to those engaged in place management in the UK, the concept has not been widely adopted yet in Ireland and the document is well presented and easy to read and will hopefully lead to much wider take-up. It will also act as an excellent reminder for those elsewhere who want to refresh their approach.
A future for Ireland's towns?
Work on the health checks has already begun in Ireland and the results of some of the pilot initiatives were described by Tara Buckley, Director General of the Retail, Grocery, Dairy and Allied Trades Association, who was part of the Retail Consultation Forum.
The work the Institute has been doing with data from Springboard and working with other partners to understand town centres and develop new approaches to ensure their vitality and viability was a natural fit into this conference. I was able to talk about how we identified the 25 most important factors for town centre vitality (http://placemanagement.org/media/50610/Executive-Summary.pdf), to explain how retail hierarchies are now redundant and we now need to think about towns in terms of usage (http://placemanagement.org/footfall-signatures/) as this will determine the most appropriate actions to be taken in an individual centre. I also talked about approaches to town centre management in terms of Repositioning, Reinventing, Rebranding and Restructuring which we will be releasing articles on in the next month.
The conference heard from a number of Institute members and past students, including Mo Aswat from Mosaic about the international experience of BIDs, Gail McGibbon about the experience of the BID in Sligo, Julienne Elliott about the development of the Coleraine BID, and Richard Hamilton of Future Analytics on the town planning perspective of a healthy town. Other locations featured included Waterford, Ennis and Enniskillen.
Thanks are due to the organisers and sponsors for a well-designed event. More detail about the summit is available at https://www.thefutureoftowns.ie/.
