text: Cooper stayed with me for a few months while he was looking for his forever home. He was a homely black and tan aussie-type thing (supposedly an aussie, but I was never quite convinced of that) who got a raw deal in life. He was afraid of men and showed it with his teeth. He was not a fan of the man in my life, and despite all my work, he just got worse and worse to the point that he would growl when my boyfriend came into the house, even when he was on a separate floor of the house in his crate! He was not the brightest bulb on the tree. It took me, I think, two months to teach him a “down.” Luring was out of the question, since his brain completely shut off around food. He caught on to the idea of shaping pretty quickly and would offer me a down for a click and a treat, but couldn’t seem to get the idea that the actions he was giving me had names. His “sit” was already rock solid. It was the only thing he knew and I think at some point he just decided that “sit” was the sum total of what humans want dogs to do. I never could get him to do a “stand” or a “spin” because I couldn’t get his butt off the ground! Yet other things—waiting for his dinner, waiting to go outside, going to his kennel on command, coming when called—he learned with no problem at all. He was an odd one and I didn’t quite have time to figure him out. For all his shortcomings, I’ve never met a more loyal dog. Once he decided he was your dog, that was it—he was your dog. And I was privileged to be his person for a few short months. All he wanted was love from his person (well, and to wrestle-play with other dogs and chase squirrels of course). He hated to be outside in the winter because his paws got cold, but he sat right by my side while I threw toys for my two border collies. I had to keep him in the basement by himself when my boyfriend was over, but at night, I would stay up with him a little longer just to spend some cuddle time. He was happy as long as he got a few minutes of cuddles every day. When I went to bed, he would amble off to the bathroom (his self-appointed sleeping place, the warmest room in the house), shut the door, and curl up in the corner on the towel I always left out for him to sleep on. After awhile it became clear that my house wasn’t the place for him anymore and he was taken in by another foster home. I admit I shed a few tears when he gave me that questioning look as I loaded him into a crate in someone else’s van. Luckily, Cooper is a big-hearted dog, so it didn’t take him long to become theirs. But I kinda miss the big furry mutt. Contrary to popular opinion, Cooper was a good dog.

Heavyweights from the folk-dominating Fence Collective unleash plucking hell on the Blind Tiger: James Yorkston’s wordy trills versus “the Scottish Bon Iver”, The Pictish Trail.
It’s been years since England’s Marlings, Flynns and Mumfords squared off their rustic banners so successfully to pop music’s landscape. But every step of the way, and long before it, Fife’s Fence Records have been setting the pace for their brand of palatable, pop culture-savvy singer-songwriting with that irresistible rural twang, and lyric books full of Celtic tradition and observational precision.
One of its earliest members, James Yorkston, was also picked up by Domino Records after supporting the preeminent 70s folk pioneer John Martyn. His canny lyrical hold over the human condition, together with a fondness for varied arrangements – teaming up with Kieran Hebden (better known as Four Tet) for his 2004 breakthrough Just Beyond The River – have seen him embed a solid place on both record labels’ rosters. He released his tenth LP, I Was A Cat From A Book on Domino last year, and continues to dominate folk circles from Fife to the Brecons, where he played the inaugural Green Man Festival, and London, where he was made Musical Director of the BBC Proms in 2007.
Spearheading and running Fence Records alongside the similarly grizzled bard King Creosote was Johnny Lynch, aka The Pictish Trail. His 2008 album Secret Soundz was its most successful release to date, and was followed in January of this year by “Secret Soundz, Volume 2”, a highly acclaimed set of self-reflections recorded on the Isle of Eigg. The follow-up also demonstrated a savviness of electro-pop touches visible in Lynch’s work since his 2010 collaboration with Adam Ilhan as Silver Columns.
Alongside Seamus Fogarty, who released his debut God Damn You Mountain last year, the pair of seminal chin-stroking strummers will present an unmatchable masterclass in thoughtful, verbose acoustic music, not to be missed.

Anton Raphael Mengs
Anton Raphael Mengs Gallery
Mengs was born in 1728 at Usti nad Labem (German: Aussig) in Bohemia on 12 March 1728; he died in Rome 29 June 1779. His father, Ismael Mengs, a Danish painter, established himself finally at Dresden, whence in 1741 he took his son to Rome.
In Rome, his fresco painting of Parnassus at Villa Albani gained him a reputation as a master painter. The appointment of Mengs in 1749 as first painter to Frederick Augustus, elector of Saxony did not prevent his spending much time in Rome, where he had married Margarita Quazzi who had sat for him as a model in 1748, and abjured the Protestant faith, and where he became in 1754 director of the Vatican school of painting, nor did this hinder him on two occasions from obeying the call of Charles III of Spain to Madrid. There Mengs produced some of his best work, and specially the ceiling of the banqueting-hall of the Royal Palace of Madrid, the subject of which was the Triumph of Trajan and the Temple of Glory. Among his pupils there was Agust??n Esteve. After the completion of this work in 1777, Mengs returned to Rome, and there he died, two years later, in poor circumstances, leaving twenty children, seven of whom were pensioned by the king of Spain. His portraits and autoportraits recall an attention to detail and insight, often lost from the grand manner paintings.
Besides numerous paintings in the Madrid gallery, the Ascension and St Joseph at Dresden, Perseus and Andromeda at Saint Petersburg, and the ceiling of the Villa Albani must be mentioned among his chief works. In 1911, Henry George Percy, 7th Duke of Northumberland, possessed a Holy Family, and the colleges of All Souls and Magdalen, at Oxford, possessed altar-pieces by Mengs's hand.
In his writings, in Spanish, Italian and German, Mengs has put forth his eclectic theory of art, which treats of perfection as attainable by a well-schemed combination of diverse excellences Greek design, with the expression of Raphael, the chiaroscuro of Correggio, and the colour of Titian. He would have fancied himself the first neoclassicist, while in fact he may be the last flicker of Baroque art. Or in the words of Wittkower, In the last analysis, he is as much an end as a beginning.
His intimacy with Johann Joachim Winckelmann, who constantly wrote at his dictation, has enhanced his historical importance, for he formed no scholars, and the critic must now concur in Goethe's judgment of Mengs in Winckelmann und sein Jahrhundert; he must deplore that so much learning should have been allied to a total want of initiative and poverty of invention, and embodied with a strained and artificial mannerism.
Mengs was famous for his rivalry with the contemporary Italian painter Pompeo Batoni. Related Paintings of Anton Raphael Mengs :. | Das Urteil des Paris | Infanta Maria Josefa | Retrato de la Marquesa de Llano | Maria Luisa von Parma Prinzessin von Asturien | Don Luis de Borbon |
Related Artists:Leon Joseph Florentin Bonnat
(20 June 1833 - 8 September 1922) was a French painter.
He was born in Bayonne, but from 1846 to 1853 he lived in Madrid, where his father owned a bookshop. While tending his father's shop, he copied engravings of works by the Old Masters, developing a passion for drawing. In Madrid he received his artistic training under Madrazo. He later worked in Paris, where he became known as a leading portraitist, never without a commission. His many portraits show the influence of Velezquez, Jusepe de Ribera and other Spanish masters, as well as Titian and Van Dyke, whose works he studied in the Prado. Following the period in Spain Bonnat worked the ateliers of the history painters Paul Delaroche and Leon Cogniet (1854) in Paris. Despite repeated attempts, he failed to win the prix de Rome, finally receiving only a second prize. However, a scholarship from his native Bayonne allowed him to spend three years in Rome (1858 - 60) independently. During his stay in Rome, he became friends with Edgar Degas, Gustave Moreau, Jean-Jacques Henner and the sculptor Henri Chapu.
He won a medal of honor in Paris in 1869, going on to become one of the leading artists of his day. Bonnat went on to win the Grand Officer of the Legion d'honneur and became a professor at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in 1882. Bonnat was quite popular with American students in Paris. In addition to his native French, he spoke Spanish and Italian and knew English well, to the relief of many monolingual Americans. In May 1905 he succeeded Paul Dubois as director of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Bonnat "was a liberal teacher who stressed simplicity in art above high academic finish, as well as overall effect rather than detail," explains Julius Kaplan (see References). Bonnat's emphasis on overall effect on the one hand, and rigorous drawing on the other, put him in a middle position with respect to the Impressionists and academic painters like his friend Jean-Leon Gerôme.
b. 1619, Milano, d. 1703, Milano
was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Milan, Brescia, and Cremona. Born in San Gimignano. He was the brother of the painter Carlo Francesco Nuvolone and son and pupil of Panfilo. He painted St Dominic resurrecting the dead for the church of San Domenico in Cremona. Nicola Forcella

Grief & Arts Workshop
Night Sea Journey: A Two Day Grief and Arts Retreat
Join me along with teacher and musician, Steve Podry, for an opportunity to honor loss through artistic activity. A special opportunity for those who have lost a loved one, have suffered from a divorce, are in the midst of a major transition or struggling with everyday disillusionment in response to world events.
Grief can be an ocean, seemingly impossible to grasp, feel, or navigate. We endure death, we suffer the end of relationships, the aging of our bodies, the loss of home, the horror of war, the destruction of the environment, the loss of our own soul. Through artistic activity, the oceanic vastness of grief can be brought into focus, scaled down into tangible forms for a concrete encounter with sorrow. In the aloneness of a night sea-journey, others are also traveling. Join us for a journey…
When: Saturday, January 23 and Sunday, January 24, 2016
Time: 10 am – 6 pm Saturday; 10 am – 5 pm Sunday
Where: Joe Goode Annex, 401 Alabama, San Francisco
Cost: $250, Early Registration (by January 8th), $275 Regular Fee

FORMER INTELLIGENCE AIDES PROFITING FROM OLD TIES
By JEFF GERTH, Special to the New York Times
Published: December 6, 1981
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5— Many former American intelligence agents have entered into profitable business arrangements based on the extraordinary secret access to foreign officials and to sensitive information they gained in Government service.
One former agent, for example, now represents an American company in an African country whose president he helped install in a covert operation backed by the Central Intelligence Agency. Another obtained a $300,000 consulting contract because of his close relationship with the king of an Arab country that stemmed from confidential Government negotiations involving the two.
These and other examples were turned up through a review of records and interviews with dozens of officials and businessmen here and abroad. Called Hindrance by Some
Some American diplomats say the former agents can be a hindrance to American foreign policy, and businessmen who compete with the former agents say they have an unfair advantage.
The activities of the former agents have been placed in the spotlight by disclosures that Edwin P. Wilson and Frank E. Terpil used their intelligence connections in elaborate and, in some cases, illegal foreign business deals. They have been indicted for illegally shipping explosives to Libya for use in training terrorists. Both men are fugitives living abroad. Different Kind of Revolving Door
Intelligence officials and Government prosecutors say they know of no other former agents who have committed such offenses. But for the first time, the C.I.A. is addressing questions about conflict of interest and revolving-door employment in the intelligence business, issues usually associated with officials who trade on their experience in the military or Government regulatory agencies.
The revolving door for covert intelligence agents is different from the one used by generals and lawyers, many officials say, because the former agents have had unusual and sometimes clandestine relationships with foreign leaders and access to sensitive intelligence information. Intelligence agents over the years have occasionally paid off foreign officials as a matter of course and have violated foreign laws. Some appear or pretend to have continuing connections with American intelligence agencies after they leave the Government.
Among the former agents who have used their foreign contacts and expertise for business purposes after leaving the Government are these:
Lawrence Raymond Devlin, the former C.I.A. station chief in Zaire. He covertly helped support President Mobutu Sese Seko's rise to power and then went to work in Zaire as the representative of an American metals company.
Raymond H. Close, the former C.I.A. station chief in Saudi Arabia. After official retirement in 1977, he went to work there, and his numerous business interests include partnerships with former Saudi officials.
George C. Benson, the key defense intelligence attache in Indonesia for nine years and the American with the closest ties to the Indonesian generals who took power in a 1965 coup. He is the Washington representative for Indonesia's state-owned oil company.
Vernon A. Walters, the former Deputy Director of Central Intelligence, now the Reagan Administration's ambassador at large. He earned $300,000 for consulting on a potential arms sale to Morocco before joining the Administration.
Former and current State Department officials who said they were troubled by the foreign-policy implications of retired intelligence agents' continuing to do business in foreign countries frequently cited Mr. Devlin as an example.
For much of the 1960's, Mr. Devlin was an official of the Central Intelligence Agency, including service as station chief in the Congo, which later became Zaire. The Senate Intelligence Committee, in 1975, reported an aborted 1960 plot by the C.I.A. to murder the Congo leader, Patrice Lumumba, and Mr. Lumumba was murdered in 1961.
In 1965, with the help of Mr. Devlin and the C.I.A., Mr. Mobutu took office, according to former intelligence officials. The C.I.A.'s support for Mr. Mobutu included secret financial aid.
A former agent, John Stockwell, wrote in his book, ''In Search of Enemies,'' that Mr. Devlin ''shuffled new governments like cards, finally settling on Mobutu as President.'' 'Excellent Contacts' Cited
After leaving the Government in 1974, Mr. Devlin became head of the Zaire office of Leon Tempelsman & Son Inc., a New York-based metals and precious minerals company active in diamond and mineral exploration in Zaire. William A. Ullman, a vice president of the diamond company, said the hiring of Mr. Devlin, who had no experience in diamonds or metals, took into account his ''excellent contacts'' in Zaire.
Government officials provided a fuller picture of Mr. Devlin's contacts. They said that President Mobutu regarded Mr. Devlin, even long after he left the Government, as the representative of the United States. This gave Mr. Devlin better connections in Zaire than the United States ambassador there, the officials said.
Stephen B. Cohen, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Carter Administration who visited Zaire in 1979, said State Department officials there ''believed that Devlin functioned as the true representative of the United States Government in President Mobutu's eyes.''
Mr. Cohen added that it ''was commonly believed by State Department officials in Zaire that Devlin had complete access to classified Government files long after he left the Government.''
Mr. Stockwell said in his book that the C.I.A. continued to use Mr. Devlin in 1975, after he left the agency. One Congressional aide said that arrangement still existed. Impact on American Policy
Former and current State Department officials said Mr. Devlin's extraordinary access caused intelligence officials in Zaire to regard him as more important than embassy personnel.

Innovation needs to be a verb. Unfortunately, most people think of it as a noun. Innovation is a thing, an outcome. As Webster’s defines it: a new idea, method or device. But we also need to think of innovation as a process.Case in point is the recent history of Motorola. As everyone now recognizes, the proposed takeover of Motorola Mobility by Google is based on access to the Motorola patent portfolio. The acquisition has little to do with Motorola’s hardware technology. In fact, as a story in today’s New York Times (“Motorola’s Identity Crisis”) points out, Google may have difficulties figuring out what to do with Motorola’s hardware activities. Google already has close relations with other hardware manufacturers, such as Samsung and HTC. Getting into the hardware business could disrupt those relationship.
This is far cry from Motorola’s reputation as an innovative leader. Motorola pioneered wireless communications, starting with the first “carphone” (a radiotelephone) in 1946 to the first commercial cellular phone (the DynaTAC 8000X) to the breakthrough flip phone StarTAC and the hot selling RAZR. Motorola also led in process technologies in the late 1980 with the development of the Six Sigma quality improvement program. The acquisition could be a huge positive step for Google if it can find a way to harness the innovation processes in Motorola. Controlling the previous innovations (noun) in the form of the patents is far different from exploiting innovation (verb) capacity latent in the Motorola Mobility organization. That capacity in embedded in a variety of intangibles — from the innovation tradition and culture to the skilled workforce. On the other hand, maybe all that changed with the split of the company last year into Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions. It could be that all that innovation capacity now resides in Motorola Solutions. If so, then Google has only bought itself some innovation-as-a-noun. Innovation-as-a-verb may continue somewhere else.

McLennan County residents may see a herbicide truck traveling the highways, but it is fighting ice this winter, not weeds.
The Texas Department of Transportation has rigged out its herbicide vehicles to pretreat interstates and other roadways with a brine to prevent ice from forming.
For the first time, all eight counties in TxDOT’s Waco District have herbicide trucks outfitted to fight bad road conditions, said Tony Moran, director of maintenance for the Waco District.
“We began using brine last year, but we only had one minor ice event. We usually have two or three per season,” Moran said.
The herbicide trucks are the first line of defense for Interstate 35, he said.
TxDOT spokesman Ken Roberts said it cost about $1,900 per truck to retrofit them to apply the brine. Before each county in the district had its own converted truck, they would share resources to get ice-fighting work done.
The herbicide vehicles are used throughout the year to spray weeds along roadways, Roberts said. Now, when the roads look like they may become icy, a brine solution can be loaded on the trucks and applied ahead of a freeze to limit the amount of ice that forms on a roadway, he said.
Waco District maintenance crews for the past two months have been on high alert preparing for the inevitable, Moran said. Each section supervisor has individual supplies squared away of salt and ice chat, a mixture of sand and crushed rock, which are used most often on bridges and overpasses.
TxDOT dump trucks also pull double duty to fight ice.
Roberts said the vehicles double in the winter as salt and deicer spreaders.
TxDOT has a limited number of vehicles, so the organization makes the most of what it has by trying to use each vehicle to meet multiple needs, he said.
“Even our pickup trucks are multipurpose,” he said. “They may be regular at one point. The next time, it may have a digital sign in the back of it and is now a sign truck, as we call it. The dual utility of our vehicles allows us to operate under various conditions and to respond to the needs to our roadways.”
Moran said once ice forms, employees are split into two 12-hour shifts to patrol areas known to freeze. January and February are typically prime months for major ice storms in Central Texas, but most ice events last less than 48 hours, he said.
“Usually, we have plenty of notice before storms arrive,” Moran said. “But sometimes they sneak up on us, so we have to be ready well before it’s time.”
While I-35 is the priority, other first-tier roadways include Highway 6, U.S. 190 and U.S. 84, Moran said.
“We want to make sure these main thoroughfares are open for the transport of goods,” he said. “The bridges and overpasses on these routes will also be treated with ice chat.”
After the main roads are treated, crews branch out to other locations, including intersections and overpasses on rural roadways.
“The best time to treat the roads is right before it begins to freeze. It means we have to be ready. Right now, we are on standby,” Moran said.

Toronto: Rumour Publications, 1978. Limited Edition. Original Wraps. The imagery combines stencil text with photographic film 35mm negatives and 2x2” positive transparencies and other obvious paint brush manipulations. The various media form a collage resembling Dadaist and/or Kurt Schwitters constructivist collaged art works. Arguably, this loose assemblage of text and image mimics “artist magazine” concepts, but it also elicits “zine” like qualities because of the raw and grainy reproduced pages. The registration of the recto and verso stencil text is exceptional, in that, the text on the front lines up with the reversed text on the back without the use of contemporary registration. Littered throughout are self-portraits of Paul Robinson in negative and positive photographic forms composed with the text statements that dictate the action of the photograph, [example “Hang Me” text with an image of Robinson hanging from a noose.] The front page is titled “Kill Me” with a small [copied] signature of Paul Robinson on the lower right corner. The final page on the verso reveals a ghostly Xeroxed hand with the publication information, including an ISBN number, which is currently non-existent (ISBN 0-88907-013-X).
Quite an esoteric piece, there is little information known about this publication, other than the artist, Paul Robinson and his Toronto punk band, the Diodes. Paul Robinson, vocalist for the Diodes, was also an art student, like two of his other band mates, at the Ontario College of Art in 1977. In the book, Treat Me Like Dirt: An Oral History of Punk in Toronto and Beyond, 1977-1981, Robinson explains the band was influenced by Andy Warhol’s juxtaposition of music and art, as well as, the glamour rock of David Bowie, T-Rex, and the New York Dolls. The publication does emulate a Velvet Underground drug and art malaise, but also reads like a political narrative in the vein of Crass, ironically also art students at the time in England. Additionally, it can be noted that the title could have been inspired by Richard Hell’s [Television] iconic t-shirt stating “Please Kill Me” in similar stencil typeface. Extremely scarce copies, as no other known copies exist and only one copy is cataloged in OCLC and accessible. Near Fine in Wraps. Eight unbound single leaf pages. The leaves are common stock photocopier grade paper, standard 8.5x11” size, double-sided copied, and several generations of black and white photocopied images and text. Paper has no significant signs of degradation and no visible creases or folds. Item #9025

Another fun night on Dancing With The Stars!! Let’s see what the couples had to say about it!!! First up, we have some Access Hollywood interviews. Let’s go straight to the couple eliminated this time…..
Bill Nye tells Shaun Johnson he knew he was in big trouble after last week’s dance. He describes the pain and how they wanted to find a way to still dance. He also comments that he thinks he could have danced another week if he wasn’t eliminated, but, this was probably for the best. He then gets scientific about everything and I’m lost now. 😯
Always so humble, Valerie Harper blames herself for the scores and her difficulties dancing last night. Tristan says everyone has good and bad weeks especially if there is an injury. They have nothing but great thoughts for Bill Nye.
Karina says last night’s Quickstep is the fastest she’s ever done with someone. Corbin says he was more nervous last night since he’s never done a ballroom dance. He didn’t want to mess up any of the moves or his frame.
In this interview, Shaun Robinson of Access Hollywood says that she “jumps out of her seat” every time Derek and Amber dance which is exactly what these two to do me every time. Amber said she had so much fun. She loved her song and Read more..

The pandemic has raged on for years now, and some people continue to bear the brunt of it far more than others: countries deprived of vaccines, essential workers keeping people safe and economies ticking, and immunocompromised people at greater risk of contracting COVID-19 having to shelter from the viral storm.
People with weakened immune systems from illness or medical treatments like chemotherapy are also more susceptible to developing infections lasting months, in which time the virus could develop new mutations.
The risk for all of us is that the longer it takes to stamp out the virus, the more time it gives new COVID-19 variants the chance to arise.
A team of researchers in the UK has now described a series of chronic COVID-19 infections, including a man who was infected for more than 400 days. He finally tested negative after genetic sequencing revealed which strain of the virus he had – and what treatment he needed.
Led by infectious disease physician Luke Blagdon Snell of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, the team has been investigating persistent infections in immunocompromised people, looking to understand which mutations occur and if new variants evolve over time.
Earlier this year, we learned of a person treated by the same team who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 for 505 days before they died – the longest-known infection of COVID-19.
This latest case report describes a 59-year-old man who first contracted COVID-19 in December 2020. Genomic sequencing showed he carried an early strain of the virus that was widespread in the UK at the time.
“[W]hen we looked at his virus, it was something that existed a long time ago – way before Omicron, way before Delta, and even before Alpha. So it was one of those older, early variants from the beginning of the pandemic,” Blagdon Snell told the Washington Post.
These chronic coronavirus infections are distinct from long COVID, where an exasperating mix of symptoms persist long after the acute infections subsides for reasons that scientists are still grappling to understand.
Throughout the pandemic, we’ve used genomic sequencing to trace the origins of COVID-19 outbreaks, untangle intermixing lineages of the virus, and detect new variants.
In this report, Snell and colleagues describe how they use genomic sequencing results, delivered in 24 hours, to tailor treatments for people with persistent COVID-19 infections, and finally rid their bodies of the virus.
The paper describes six cases, the 59-year-old man among them.
With a weakened immune system following a kidney transplant, the man’s body couldn’t clear the virus and with only mild and intermittent symptoms, he wasn’t eligible for treatments used to prevent or treat severe cases of COVID-19.
He tested positive in February 2021 and again in January 2022, each time with the same variant of the virus: B.1.177.18. Over time, a collection of mutations cropped up in the virus at a rate expected with SARS-CoV-2 – so nothing out of the ordinary there, only that it underscores the propensity of the virus to shapeshift.
While researchers think these cases of chronic infection are rare, they are difficult to treat since the continual emergence of new variants has rendered neutralizing antibody therapies ineffective.
Once the researchers knew the man had a chronic infection, he received a combination monoclonal antibody treatment effective against early strains, which finally rid him of the virus, 411 days after he was first diagnosed.
Other cases described by Snell and colleagues include cases where genomic sequencing revealed which strains of SARS-CoV-2 people had, if it was a separate or chronic infection, and what mutations the virus had acquired – allowing physicians to select the right therapy.
The care teams are still closely monitoring a few patients through their recovery. Omicron subvariants pose a new threat, however, as some strains thwart all available antibody treatments.
“Some people with weakened immune systems are still at risk of severe illness and becoming persistently infected. We are still working to understand the best way to protect and treat them,” Snell says.
At least where genomic sequencing facilities are available, this research shows that the virus cannot – and should not – evade our watch indefinitely. Lives depend on it.
The report was published in Clinical Infectious Diseases.


When considering the future of transportation in Maryland, we are focused on one important concept: balance. Only a balanced transportation network based on road and transit improvements as well as smart growth initiatives like the neighborhood revitalization and "commute smart" programs will help us address the transportation demand we face now and in the years ahead.
Gov. Glendening and Lt. Gov. Townsend ushered in their second term by laying out a balanced vision for transportation. Their most challenging mandate: to double transit ridership in Maryland by the Year 2020. A recent state report anticipated that by 2020 Maryland population will increase 20 percent and its employment base will rise by 25 percent. More than ever, doubling transit ridership--along with investments in a highway infrastructure that is compatible with our environment and our communities--is a mission that is essential to economic development, quality of life and public health.
Glendening last week announced that the state will invest a major portion of its bountiful budget toward the construction of the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge and the extension of the Metrorail Blue Line from Addison Road to the Largo Town Center.
The Woodrow Wilson Bridge is the true backbone of our regional transportation network and one of the most vital segments of this nation's interstate highway system. The Largo extension will help fuel Prince George's County's emergence as a regional economic engine, provide transit alternatives for fast-growing communities outside the Beltway and facilitate smart growth-oriented developments such as the Largo Town Center.
An example of this balanced approach is Montgomery County. Since this administration took office, the department has added nearly $5 billion to the state's consolidated transportation program for highway and transit-related construction projects. Montgomery County alone has reaped more than $1 billion from this windfall, totaling more than 20 percent of the added funds.
Over the next six years, more than $300 million will be invested in intersection, interchange and road improvements in Montgomery county. A $40 million state investment will make the long-awaited Silver Spring Transit Center a reality. This facility, which will fully intergrate the Metro, Ride-On and MARC train services, will ensure a seamless transit network and anchor the landmark Downtown Silver Spring Revitalization Project. Meanwhile our Capital Beltway Transportation Study and the Georgetown Branch Transitway Study are evaluating a series of road and transit improvements for the region. Montgomery County will also benefit from the governor's tripling of the State's Neighborhood Conservation Program, revitalizing established communities throughout the county.
To preserve a regional Metrorail system that carries more than 570,000 passengers per day, the state is committed to a $130 million increase in the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's capital program. This investment reflects the state's view that a safe rail system is by far the most important factor in attracting new transit ridership.
To make transit more convenient a special $4 million state grant will enable Montgomery and Prince George's counties to join WMATA, the Baltimore-based Mass Transit Administration and local bus systems in Northern Virginia in a procurement of "Smart Card" farebox technology. This partnership will ensure that commuters and visitors will be able to ride transit throughout the Washington and Baltimore regions using a single farecard.
As Maryland continues to showcase its Washington suburban counties as models for smart transportation and growth, we benefit from strong advocacy by legislative leaders, county governments and concerned citizens, a vital partnership to breaking the gridlock that affects this entire region.
--John D. Porcari
is secretary of the Maryland Department of Transportation.

Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders will face off in the 16th match of IPL 2024 at the VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Both teams are coming off a victory in their last game. KKR toppled RCB at their home ground by 7 wickets with 19 balls to spare, whereas DC also grounded the table toppers CSK by 20 runs in a one-sided affair.
While KKR is sitting comfortably at the 2nd spot in the points table after 2 games, DC on the other hand has been languishing at the 7th spot as they have lost 2 out of the three games they have played so far.
DC’s batting clicked in the last game with the change in the opening pair after the inclusion of Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh Pant also scoring his first fifty after the horrific accident. However, Delhi have still much to ponder with regards to their middle-order which is the most vulnerable of all the teams in the tournament.
DC would like to further strengthen their middle-order and at the same time would expect their heavy top order to fire with one of the top four to stay at the crease till the end. In this article, let’s try to decipher what could be the probable playing XI for Delhi against KKR which could provide them with the much-needed balance.
Here is the probable playing XI of Delhi against KKR including a substitute as an Impact player:
1. Prithvi Shaw
Prithvi Shaw wasn’t included in Delhi’s playing XI for the initial two matches which raised many eyebrows questioning the reasoning behind the move. However, sanity prevailed as he was included in the 3rd game against CSK, and he proved his well-wishers right by scoring a quick-fire 43 off just 27 balls including 4 boundaries and 2 sixes.
2. David Warner
David Warner is one of the IPL legends as he is among the top 5 highest run-getters in the history of IPL. However, David Warner was scoring runs in the previous season as well but his strike rate was an issue this season in the initial two matches, Warner has gotten his groove back and is scoring runs at the same pace with which he used to in the past.
3. Mitchell Marsh
Mitchell Marsh is another important cog of the Delhi Capitals line-up. Although the explosive Australian all-rounder hasn’t been fired yet in this year’s IPL he has got the starts and DC would like him to convert his starts into a big score. Also, his all-round abilities give an additional bowling option to Rishabh Pant.
1. Rishabh Pant
Apart from the win, the other biggest takeaway for DC from the last match’s win was Rishabh Pant’s half-century. Pant looked a bit out of the color in the first two matches which was expected given the injury he was coming from but his breaking the shackles in the last match and hitting a brisk half-century would have given DC fans and management some respite.
2. Tristan Stubbs
Tristian Stubbs has had a hot and cold season so far. The South African batter played a decent knock in the 2nd game against RR but failed to impress in the other two matches. However, fans and the management are aware of his hard-hitting prowess but he is still to prove himself in the IPL and this might be the chance for him before the DC management decides to take a call on him.
3. Axar Patel
Axar Patel has been in sublime form for the past year or so both at the international level and in the IPL but this year he hasn’t impressed with the bat so far. He looked a bit out of touch with the bat whereas with the ball he has been decent so far. He has been economical with the ball in the middle order however, his wicket-taking ability has taken a hit.
1. Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav missed the last match due to a back spasm and is expected to make a comeback into the playing XI against KKR. Kuldeep Yadav has been an integral part of DC’s bowling line-up and one of their major wickets taking weapons in the middle order. He’s one of the rare breeds of left-arm spinners in cricket which makes him an integral member of the playing XI.
2. Anrich Nortje
Anrich Nortje has not been quite expensive at the death in the last two matches which has been a cause of worry for DC but given his sheer pace and the novelty he brings to his Delhi bowling line-up; they would look to continue with him further would hope that comes back to his old self at the death.
3. Ishant Sharma
Ishan Sharma has been an IPL veteran and played the limited role which he has been given quite well. He has the onus to do the hard yards and bowl well in the powerplay, which he has done quite well. DC would be hoping that he can keep his fitness together for the entire season.
4. Mukesh Kumar
Mukesh Kumar bowled exceptionally well in the last match against CSK. He chipped in with 3 crucial wickets in the last game during the middle overs which broke the backbone of CSK’s chase. DC hoped he would repeat his performance against KKR as well.
5. Khaleel Ahmed
Khaleel Ahmed was the mainstay of DC’s bowling line-up in the last game. He jolted CSK’s run chase by picking both their openers and bowled with great control over his line and length. Khaleel has utilized any swing if available to his favor quite well and again strives to repeat his last match heroics.
6. Rasikh Salam
Rasikh Salam played his first game for DC this season against CSK. Although he didn’t have a great outing and went for 25 runs in his 2 overs it’s still early days for the youngster and DC would back him to give another go against KKR in the next game.
1. Abishek Porel
Abhishek Porel could very well be used as an impact sub by the DC. He showed glimpses of his talent against PBKS where he took down Harshal Patel for 24 runs in the last over. DC would like to back him and would again expect them to give a blasting finish like the last game.

Written by: The Voiceless Apparition
32 years?! It's crazy to say that Paradise Lost have been a band for 32 years. The masters of doom and melancholy have been going steady ever since then with no break-ups or hiatuses in between. After a brief wait, Paradise Lost return with their 16th opus Obsidian, the follow-up to the masterful Medusa. Said album was a slight return to their original death/doom roots although within a modern context...but enough about the past.
Obsidian is split into three different and distinct styles. You have the more death/doom-leaning tracks, the more gothic rock/metal-based tracks, and a subtler bridging between the two styles. It feels like a natural progression from the last album, with many of the trademarks we all love and adore about Paradise Lost, but with many twists and turns along the way. Welcome to the world of Obsidian.
If you, much like the ravens lurking outside our drafty Scriptorium, are on the hunt for something new and shiny, I'm happy to present an alternative from our standard fare. Today on the docket: a healthy platter of horror-tinged gothic dungeon synth, conjured from the mind behind the (equally stellar) Order of the Wolf. In this newfound context outside the underground black metal sphere, he goes by Spectral Child. Moribund Kingdom is the first haunted creation of this alter ego, and will see a 2020 cassette release from Akashic Envoy.
I like to think of Spectral Child's Moribund Kingdom as an alternate soundtrack to the horror-themed action games that (only partially, I swear) defined my adolescence. While it certainly isn't a sonic match to, say, the grossly high-octane riffage of the equally high-octane Painkiller series, the mood is similar. Consistently menacing, in a word. Frightening in a sincere sense--like if the more intense moments of the soundtrack to Amnesia were distilled and reproduced in synth-based form. That comparison, again, is a bit of a stretch, but the fact remains: there is something about Spectral Child that feels intrinsically attached to the world of video games wherein a lone protagonist braves a world designed exclusively to confound and cause harm.
We provide thoughtful reviews of music that is heavy, gloomy...and loud enough to wake us from slumber. Written by a highfalutin peasantry!

A web-crawler is a program that automatically and systematically tracks the links of a website and extracts information from its pages. Due to the different formats of websites, the crawling scheme for different sites can differ dramatically. Manually customizing a crawler for each specific site is time consuming and error-prone. Furthermore, because sites periodically change their format and presentation, crawling schemes have to be manually updated and adjusted. In this paper, we present a technique for automatic synthesis of web-crawlers from examples. The main idea is to use hand-crafted (possibly partial) crawlers for some websites as the basis for crawling other sites that contain the same kind of information. Technically, we use the data on one site to identify data on another site. We then use the identified data to learn the website structure and synthesize an appropriate extraction scheme. We iterate this process, as synthesized extraction schemes result in additional data to be used for re-learning the website structure. We implemented our approach and automatically synthesized 30 crawlers for websites from nine different categories: books, TVs, conferences, universities, cameras, phones, movies, songs, and hotels.

Xbox One S Fuels Microsoft’s Sales Surge Over PlayStation 4 For Third Consecutive Month
When it comes to worldwide console sales, the PlayStation 4 holds a commanding lead over the Xbox One. Both consoles were released around the same time in late 2013, but the PlayStation 4 quickly lurched ahead with a sales lead and now has outsold the Xbox One roughly 2:1 since launch.
However, perhaps Microsoft is a late bloomer as the Xbox One has been showing some muscle in the past few months versus the PlayStation 4. While we’ve seen the Xbox One beat the PlayStation 4 in a single month on a number of occasions, the former was able to topple the latter in July and in August. And according to the latest numbers from tracking firm The NDP Group, the Xbox One bested the PlayStation 4 for a third consecutive month in September.
Leading up to the release of the slimmer Xbox One S, Microsoft slashed prices on the old “fat” Xbox One to clear out inventory. That surely was enough to spark a sales rush for Microsoft. On August 2nd, Microsoft launched the 2TB Xbox One S, while the 500GB and 1TB versions hit retail shelves on August 23rd.
In addition to taking up less space in your entertainment center, the Xbox One S is slightly faster, includes a revised wireless controller, supports 4K output and incorporates a UHD Blu-ray player (something that Microsoft gleefully points out that the PlayStation 4 Slim doesn’t support).
Microsoft attributed its success to Xbox One S hardware and a strong games lineup in a statement to Venture Beat:
This success was driven by our fans and their support for Xbox One S, which is the only console available this holiday with built-in UHD 4K Blu-ray, 4K video streaming and HDR for gaming and video…
With the blockbuster launch of Gears of War 4 for Xbox One and Windows 10 this week and the upcoming release of Clubs and Looking for Group on Xbox Live alongside the launches of Dead Rising 4, Battlefield 1, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Dishonored 2, Final Fantasy XV, Titanfall 2, and Watch Dogs 2 in the coming months, Xbox is the best place to game this holiday.
Microsoft’s winning streak might be short-lived, however. PlayStation 4 Slim sales just started on September 15th, and it wouldn’t be too surprising if some gamers are holding out for the November release of the PlayStation 4 Pro.

Our vision is to see generations of young people transformed by the gospel and living for God's glory. To this end, we recognize that New England and the churches here face unique challenges.
As a global academic and cultural hub, the Boston area attracts great minds and dynamic, world-class talent. However, for the same reason, it is one of the most transient places in the world. People from all over converge in Boston for degrees and to start careers; it is a hard-trodden path of those passing through. Many take from, but few stick around to care for and invest in New England for the long-term... to sew, nurture and harvest here.
The same transiency applies to those who come to Boston to study and prepare for ministry. The majority of Korean-American seminarians these days do not want to serve in Korean churches and those Korean international students who are willing to fill the void have difficulty connecting with the youth and American culture. But even if they did serve and wanted to continue serving their students, put down roots and grow as ministers here after seminary, Korean churches in New England are small and incapable of supporting and investing in full-time youth leaders. One way or another, even the very few who may serve youth during seminary typically leave after about 1 to 3 years.
The Korean church in New England went through a fairly rapid and sweeping change in the past couple decades. All traditional English ministries initially housed within the suburban Korean churches launched out for various reasons to establish themselves as independent churches in or closer to the city. This resulted in a widespread void across all the Korean churches where two full "generations" of English speakers once present—college students and young adults—are now missing. The youth do not have older, English-speaking brothers and sisters in the church to serve, formally or informally, as role models and teachers.
In the Korean culture that leaves the majority of youth spiritual formation up to the Christian education department, these factors have deeply and significantly impacted the youth. They automatically find themselves in Korean churches during much of their most formative years because they have to attend with their parents, but they age out of the youth group having had a revolving door of one inexperienced, temporary youth leader after another. They have not experienced spiritually formative relationships. They are "churched", but few know or are changed by the gospel and are, therefore, set on a course for college and adulthood lacking biblical knowledge and desire to love and follow Jesus. We have seen these things happen time and time again.
Since 1994, ARISE's heart has been to contextually and strategically come alongside the youth, youth leaders and churches. We strive to raise up the next generation in the Lord by helping the youth meet and know Jesus Christ, understand His gospel of grace and start to dream about living life in many different ways as participants in God's redemptive work in the world for His glory.
To raise generations of youth transformed by the gospel and living for God's glory.
- Serve the Youth
Provide the youth with spiritual resources that focus on the gospel, discipleship and community, and mobilize the wider church to serve them.
- Serve Youth Workers
Resource, nurture, mentor and connect youth workers.
- Serve the Local Church
Share vision, learn from and partner with senior pastors for holistic, joint ministry in New England.
- Research & Resource Development
Study, watch, listen, learn, grow, teach, build relationships.
- The Gospel
- Discipleship/Spiritual Formation
- Christian Community/Spiritual Friendship
- Love for the Korean church, its leaders and families

My church has been teaching on New vs. Old Covenant principles and I was reminded that there is a huge reality surrounding the facts and faith of lost and found. It gave me a history lesson about something I wrote about some time ago. Have you ever been lost? I mean, really don’t know where you are, what you’re doing? “How did I get to this place” lost? I used to, wouldn’t or couldn’t admit that to anyone. But, if the truth be told, I’ve been emotionally, clinically, physically, chronically and of course, spiritually lost many times in my life. It’s no accident that finding me by me coincides with me finding my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You see lost in the secular realm can mean a lot of things, including, simply being lost in time and space.
Geographically, that can mean not knowing which direction to turn in order to get to a particular place at a specific time. Spiritually, being lost runs the gamut from borderline lunacy to physical depravity, from chasing your own tail to sniffing everybody else’s. For those not following my point, merely consider those times in your life when you couldn’t explain your own dumb behavior to anyone, including yourself. Think, if you will, about all of those times when you were in the middle of where you knew you weren’t supposed to be, but dare I say, you chose not to leave. Folks, that’s being lost in the truest sense of the word. If you engage in destructive behavior but can’t stop; live a lifestyle you despise but feel obligated to continue; stay in an abusive situation and won’t leave; love yourself so little that you lose sight of who you really are; blame the world for your predicament and won’t do anything to change it; you just ain’t lost. You, “oh hell naw” lost! The point of the sermon was biblical context will guide you from the foundation of the Old Covenant to the truth of the New. Today, we are found in Christ.
If being spiritually lost is in essence, a state of mind, doesn’t it stand to reason then that being spiritually found is also a state of mind? You all know how it feels after being lost for a few minutes or a few hours and finally getting going in the right direction. You’ve not yet reached your destination but you experience great joy in the fact that you absolutely know where you’re going. Being spiritually found, or finding yourself spiritually brings the same feeling, only tenfold, because really, most of us have been spiritually lost for more than a few minutes, or a few days or even a few years. To wake up on any given morning and recognize the truth about which I write, necessitates praising God in a manner only the saved can understand. At that point, in that moment of understanding, confusion gives way to clarity, lunacy gives way to sanity, turmoil bows to peace, purpose replaces insignificance and the angst of the spirit is replaced by faith in the Almighty. It’s an awesome thing y’all, with some awesome responsibilities.
I believe once you find yourself spiritually, there is one irrefutable fact you must acknowledge. You can no longer plead ignorance to the ways of the Lord. No longer can you play victim to your own self induced frailties. No longer can you claim weakness as an excuse for succumbing to your self-inflicted wounds. This new found spirituality thing bears a price tag for redemption. Salvation does indeed require a paradigm shift. But it’s okay. Just like being on the wrong highway all night and finally finding the right one, even though you’ve gone far out of your way, there’s nothing like finally getting it right. Now it’s just a matter of time. “He said to them, ‘It is not for you to know the time or dates the Father has set by His own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you’…” All I’m trying to say is, being found is so much better than being lost; and being spiritually found is considerably better than being spiritually bankrupt. Maybe I’m just glad to know the difference. May God bless and keep you always.

simply brilliant, couldnt put it down,all the books are a really big read, well worth it.Im halfway through the third one A storm of swords.has got to be one of, if not the best series ive read! Enjoy!
After I read the first volume, I decided to buy the rest of the series. How I whish I hadn't. The second volume is tiresome to read, a lot of references to the first volume (is that a new way to produce thick volumes!?). I found a lot of characters anoying. Lets put that in another perspective: To my experience the balance between anoying characters and not is lost. Which, in turn, made it hard to read. I even skipped pages at the end.
