Pŕgina 270 - Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus; but use all gently: for in the very torrent, tempest, and — as I may say — whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance, that may give it smoothness. O! it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who for the most part are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb shows and noise: I would have such a fellow whipped for...
Pŕgina 139 - No, no, no, no! Come, let's away to prison: We two alone will sing like birds i' the cage: When thou dost ask me blessing I'll kneel down And ask of thee forgiveness: so we'll live, And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues Talk of court news; and we'll talk with them too, — Who loses and who wins; who's in, who's out; — And take upon's the mystery of things, As if we were God's spies: and we'll wear out, In a wall'd prison, packs and sects...
Pŕgina 270 - Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines.
Pŕgina 292 - How all occasions do inform against me, And spur my dull revenge ! What is a man, If his chief good and market of his time Be but to sleep and feed ? a beast, no more. Sure, he that made us with such large discourse, Looking before and after, gave us not That capability and god-like reason To fust in us unused.
Pŕgina 362 - Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls : Who steals my purse steals trash ; 'tis something, nothing ; 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands; But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him, And makes me poor indeed.
Pŕgina 258 - I have of late (but wherefore, I know not) lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises ; and, indeed, it goes so heavily with my disposition, that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory ; this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me, than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors.
Pŕgina 316 - tis not to come ; if it be not to come, it will be now ; if it be not now, yet it will come : the readiness is all.
Pŕgina 265 - For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak With most miraculous organ, I'll have these players Play something like the murder of my father Before mine uncle: I'll observe his looks; I'll tent him to the quick: if he but blench, I know my course. The spirit that I have seen May be the devil: and the devil hath power To assume a pleasing shape; yea, and perhaps Out of my weakness and my melancholy, — As he is very potent with such spirits, — Abuses me to damn me: I'll have grounds More relative...
Pŕgina 271 - And let those that play your clowns, speak no more than is set down for them : for there be of them, that will themselves laugh, to set on some quantity of barren spectators to laugh too ; though, in the mean time, some necessary question of the play be then to be considered: that's villainous; and . shows a most pitiful ambition in the fool that uses it.
Pŕgina 242 - Angels and ministers of grace defend us! Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn'd, Bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell, Be thy intents wicked or charitable, Thou com'st in such a questionable shape, That I will speak to thee: I'll call thee Hamlet, King, father, royal Dane, O, answer me!

Wolf Blitzer delivers the most important breaking news and political, international, and national security stories of the day. Tune to The Situation Room weekdays 5-7pm ET on CNN.
An already tense House race in Illinois turns nasty. CNN's Kate Bolduan reports.
Who is Joe Walsh to criticize anyone, especially Duckworth. Walsh is a deadbeat dad who owes over $117,000 in Child Support. Why is Walsh not in jail? If he didn't have money and was a working stiff, he would have been jailed on contempt charges and forced to pay his support. This is a guy that was elected to Congress? who, in their right mind would vote for him. This is nothing new for him, even though he couldn't pay his support for his children, he lent his Congressional campaign $30,000 and took his gfriend to Mexico. And he has the audacity to criticize anyone. Walsh is another Tea Party Rep. that did just what all Tea Party Candidates elected did...nothing. They did name some Post Offices, but not one jobs bill. Walsh needs to stay in the Republican Party, they need the extra hot air that he can provide.Walsh is an embarrassment to the Sate of Illinois and of the United States. If Walsh wants to make up for his lack of Military Service, he can always volunteer....as a Target for the Taliban.
Peace on both sides.Jim Thomas Phx.Az.
Sounds to me like Americans are slowly deciding to lose their freedom to a military dictatorship. I mean if a military record has the slightest thing to do with being a member of congress. How did the helicopter crash happen? Was she flying it? Was it pilot error or was she shot down? If she is going to run on her military record alone let"s hear the details of that record. McCain wasn't hero in my books. Shot down after a few easy missions and then spilled huts guts to a Camera within hours of being caught.

Look for 100 percent of daily values (DVs)
For most nutrients, these tend to be one-size-fits-all amounts, so you may want to consider a multivitamin that's targeted to your age, gender, or goal (say, heart health) to meet specific needs. But "megadoses" aren't necessarily better and may not be fully absorbed.
Check serving size
This can vary from one to six pills daily, so weigh what will fit into your routine—and your budget. Although convenient, one-a-days fall short in some areas, especially minerals, so you may need a separate calcium-magnesium supplement.
Got herbs?
Beneath the vitamin and minerals on the Supplement Facts panel, you may find herbs and other nutrients. These can offer added bang for your nutrition buck: For instance, some high-quality multis now include digestive enzymes, to boost absorption.
Sniff out "other ingredients"
At the panel's very bottom, you'll find this list, which can include artificial colors, sweeteners, lubricants, fillers, and binders, such as FD&C dyes, lactose, sucrose, and magnesium stearate. These may be allergenic and can compromise supplements' effectiveness. Try to choose products with no more than two such ingredients, and if you want to avoid animal products such as gelatin, make sure capsules are vegetarian.

What Does A $500,000 Closet Look Like?
What Does A $500,000 Closet Look Like?
If you were ever wondering how to throw the perfect party in a closet, this Houston area woman knows the secret: all it takes is a wonderful caterer, lots of champagne, a DJ ... oh, and a gigantic, three story, 3,000 square foot "she cave." Theresa Roemer's closet, recently added to her Woodlands home at a cost of about $500,000, is nothing short of amazing: a spiral staircase leads up through boutique style shelving showing off handbag upon handbag, jewels, perfume and shoes. The former Miss Texas United America's closet was featured in a new blog post by department store Neiman Marcus ... which theoretically could consider opening the giant closet as a new Woodlands retail department. "It started years ago when I had a closet party and all the girls came over and they said, 'I just wish it was bigger,'" That's when the glamorous fundraiser realized size was key after all, "Since then it's just been getting bigger and bigger and bigger, it's like a 'she cave'."
From the editors of Houston Chronicle.
At 3,000 square feet, her female version of the already famous "man-cave" is twice the size – if not larger – of many family homes. In the normal universe the closet is much more akin to Aladdin's Cave of Wonder than a foul smelling basement man cave filled with video games and questionable publications. "The third floor houses all my furs and big hats, you come down the spiral staircase to the second floor which is where I get my hair and make up done, it also houses all the shoes from Louis Vuitton and Gucci,to my tennis and work out gear," Roemer revealed. "Then you come down a floating staircase, which is just magical, and the first floor is where you pick out your jewelry and bags," the Woodlands entrepreneur concluded. On average it takes her 45 minutes to get ready each day. Perhaps some sort of transportation system is in order to speed things up?
A view of the floating staircase, from the top floor.
The townhouse-of-a-closet has been criticized as extravagant in many responses to the original blog but Roemer says the fundraising that takes place in her monster dressing room is more than enough to justify the $500,000 it cost to put in. Tickets are auctioned off and wealthy women come from all over the area to go, well, into the closet. One recent gathering included an in-person demo from perfumer and Hennessey heir, Kilian Hennessey. All the money raised went to the American Heart Foundation. Roemer, who started her career with a line of fitness centers in Wyoming in 1991, has also raised money for Texas Children's Hospital and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa in aid of Child Legacy International, according to her website. "There is a man on my street who has a garage big enough for 28 cars because he collects cars, no one gets mad at him and he doesn't do any fundraising," Roemer says noting a potential gender double standard. Others have jumped to her defense saying the money she put into her project doesn't just disappear. "There are many thousands of workers, craftsmen, designers, event planners, and clerks, not to mention investors in retail companies, all of whom have and make less than her, and benefit from her spending decisions," wrote one commenter. Some simply deemed it the "Holy Grail" of closets.
The closet is an Aladdin's Cave of Wonder for lovers of designer labels. Roemer calls it her "she cave."
For Theresa Roemer, though, the closet has become life-defining. "We held a Saks Fifth Avenue fashion show over the pool with a seated dinner for 200 in a tent on the basketball court and a vocal performance from Yvonne Washington, and all people wanted to see was the closet," Roemer laughed.

The Anthony Weiner scandal just keeps unfolding, with lewd detail after lewd detail being revealed. As he told Cosmo in a 1996 exclusive interview, he wanted to marry "someone smarter than [him]" — which he achieved by marrying now-12-weeks-pregnant wife Huma Abedin, who has been Hillary Clinton's long-time aide. Apparently she hasn't been able to elevate her husband's intelligence much, though. Because it turns out all it took to start his downfall was one common little three-letter-word: "hot." According to BigGovernment.com, Weiner begin exchanging dirty messages with Meagan Broussard, a 26-year-old college student and single mom from Texas, after she wrote on his Facebook page that one of his speeches was "Hottttt."
And this isn't the first time a politico has fallen for such a cliché.
More From Cosmopolitan
According to Elizabeth Edwards' book, Resilience, "You are so hot" was the one-liner former senator John Edwards's baby-mama Rielle Hunter used to lure John into an affair. So the question that continues to be on our mind is: How can such an overused phrase entice a smart guy to risk everything? And is a woman who fails to call her guy "hot" more in danger of losing him than one who does? Read on to find out why experts think that word is so powerful and how to apply this surprising advice to your own relationship.
What Most Men Need
For starters, experts say "You are so hot" taps in to a source of deep-seated insecurity for many men and offers them the reassurance they're yearning for.
"Attractive women get that a lot, but guys tell me they crave the same kind of compliments," says Ava Cadell, PhD, author of 12 Steps to Everlasting Love. "Being perceived as hot in and out of the bedroom empowers a man sexually." And while that's true for any guy, it's likely that both Anthony Weiner's and John Edwards' narcissistic personality made them an especially easy target for ego stroking. Some men "are so starved for validation — if you say 'you are so hot,' you've got 'em," says Greg Baer, MD, author of Real Love.
And a man's response to this pickup line is more than just mental: Calling out his ability to turn you on actually may increase blood flow to his penis, Cadell says. Of course, a good guy will suppress his desire to stray or channel his lust toward his wife or girlfriend, but he still can't stop his body from registering it.
From Your mouth to His Ego
But never mind the other woman — you can use these same word to fire up your man's basic instincts, says relationship expert Pat Love, author of The Truth About Love. "For eons, men have evaluated themselves based on their skills as a provider and lover," she says. "In long-term relationships, if you want to keep passion alive, you have to keep the sexy compliments coming." And by letting him know you want him, he'll be less likely to fall for it if some skank tries the same tactic. "If his wife or girlfriend tells a man he's hot and then he hears it from an attractive woman, it'll be easier for him to shake it off," Cadell says.
Eager to try the method on your man? Maximize its effect by whispering "You are so hot" at the start of a long meal. You'll re-create the feeling of delayed gratification that you feel at the beginning of an affair, says Love. Your man may wave it off, but don't be fooled. Whether he's Brad Pitt's clone or Jonah Hill's, he'll eat it up and love you more for it. So step off, Hunters of the world. We're on to you.

Georgia Tech is heading back to the Sun Bowl for the second straight year and will face underachieving Southern California.
The Yellow Jackets, who got a waiver from the NCAA to play in the postseason despite having a 6-7 record following a loss in the ACC championship game, will play in a bowl game for the 16th straight season. That's the fourth-longest streak in the nation.
USC (7-5), which was ranked No. 1 to start the season, hasn't faced Georgia Tech since 1973. The Trojans have won two of the three previous meetings.
The Sun Bowl will be played Dec. 31 in El Paso, Texas.

Day for Night Sketching
It was used so often in B-movies and westerns that it has become known in France as nuit américaine ("American night").
Is it possible to do a daytime drawing that suggests moonlight?
In a previous post, we looked at the depiction of moonlight in terms of color, exploring why moonlight appears blue.
Moonlight has another important quality: simplicity and softness. In limited light, the eyes shift to what is known as scotopic vision, where the photoreceptors in the retina can only perceive simple, large areas of tone, with uncertain boundaries. You can see this for yourself when you try to make out individual twigs or stones on a moonlit night. Only the most generalized shapes in the dark areas are visible, and what details are apparent tend to be in the lightest areas.
You can suggest these qualities even in a daytime drawing by consciously suppressing detail and softening edges in the darker areas. In the drawing of the Williams College Chapel in Williamstown, Massachusetts, I looked at the scene and tried to suppress detail in the shadows, grouping them together into a simple, soft mass.

wow, I do so love reading your blog.... always something to learn :) that is fascinating, though, I had wondered why it looked like that in those movies, and it even has a name! "nuit américaine"... that's all, just stopping in to say thank you and say how much I look forward to your posts!

Hmm... so squinting your eyes to suppress detail and generalize tones may be a help in "day for night" sketching.
Two things that they always do in day for night shots in films is to avoid a shot with the sun (obviously), and to shoot in open shade if possible to avoid the contrast of direct sunlight. I am guessing that the latter would apply in this type of sketching as well?

I find this whole subject of drawing and painting night scenes very fascinating - the challenge of depicting something where little is actually seen. One artist who has dealt with this challenge in numerous pictures is Ken Marschall. He is best known for his numerous paintings of the Titanic. The sinking took place on a moonless night, and Marschall's paintings are interesting exercises in exaggeration of what little light there is and "inventing" some that isn't - and still make it look like night. Even more so, when it comes to his paintings of the wreck at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean where there is no light whatsoever.

part of the reason john singer sargent is considered among many painters to be so fabulous is because he was a master of values. he tended to use only two values in the shadows rather than more, subsequently concentrating his wider range of values in the lighter areas.
if you think about it, it makes sense. our eyes are drawn to the light rather than the dark. when we are scanning an image, we are looking for cues in the light areas to tell us what this object is, not the dark areas.
i guess it is up to the artist whether or not to add more in the dark areas. if the artist chooses to leave those areas simple, the image still seems to work. that is just really cool!

Friday Happy Hour (formerly 'Show Off Your Smarts!')
Back in November, a reader named Allison left this comment under one of Will's early 'Show Off Your Smarts!' posts: "I love this feature! It's like being at a party where EVERYONE is interesting, and I get the feeling that I can join the conversation too."
So in that spirit, we're renaming this feature "Friday Happy Hour." Like before, I'll throw out a broad topic to get us started. But don't let that restrict you. If you read or heard or know something other virtual partygoers will find intriguing, bring it on. I tend to find parties with strict rules off-putting.
Today's initial topic is computer lore. Did you know that Apple originally trademarked the iPod name for a public internet kiosk, a project that never materialized? That Microsoft paid the Rolling Stones $12 million to use "Start Me Up" for the Windows 95 launch? That in 1976, the Apple I was launched with a suggested retail price of $666? I'm going to get a drink; talk amongst yourselves. Since it's barely 1pm in my home time zone, that drink will likely be a Diet Barq's Root Beer. I'm wild.
And remember, feel free to change the subject. It's a party, not a test.

New Legislation in the House
There is cause for celebration this spring for all players in the home performance industry, as H.R. 1315 was introduced in the 116th Congress on February 27, 2019.
New legislation that would support training for home performance contractors was introduced in the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee hearing titled, "Clean Energy Infrastructure and the Workforce to Build It." Chairman Bobby Rush invited Leticia Colon de Mejias to testify before the U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee. Leticia is Policy Co-Chair of the Home Performance Coalition, now the Building Performance Association, and CEO of the contracting firm Energy Efficiencies Solutions in Connecticut.The proposed legislation
- Supports training for employment in clean energy fuel industries, including residential energy efficiency and renewable energy retrofits;
- Seeks to address a needed boost in employment of under-served workers—racial minorities, veterans, those transitioning from fossil industries, etc.—in the U.S. labor force, especially in the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics); and
- Establishes an office of Workforce Development with funds to support training for an energy efficient workforce.
"We have a real need to ramp up implementation of workforce programs that prepare career change for women, veterans, and other job seekers for the roles which need to be filled if we are to meet our nation's demand for reliable and resilient energy production." Ms. Colon de Mejias said.
She continued, "H.R. 1315 addresses the problem that there are plenty of jobs, yet not enough trained workers to fill them. The building performance industry is only effective when its workers are up-to-date on the fast-changing and sometimes highly technical environment of energy efficiency. Jobs in the energy efficiency and clean energy industries exist, and we need qualified workers to fill them."
One dilemma for the industry, and what prevents energy efficiency from moving the economy forward more quickly, is that workers have trouble taking the needed time away from earning a paycheck to participate in training.
The Blue Collar to Green Collar Jobs Act of 2019 addresses that need for training. "[It] is an energy workforce grant program, which would provide just such assistance to businesses that are seeking to educate and train new hires and existing employees in the energy efficiency and renewable energy industries," says Colon de Mejias. Her argument for the legislation is also appealing because it gives an extra boost to trainers and students who are minorities, women, veterans, and from underserved populations. She says, "We should give special consideration to increasing outreach to employers and job trainers preparing displaced and unemployed energy workers for emerging energy-related jobs and make resources available to institutions serving displaced and unemployed energy workers with the objective of increasing the number of individuals trained for jobs in energy-related industries." This also answers the question, if you take away oil and gas industry jobs, where are the people who had those jobs going to work?

Read E4TheFuture's report.
Kara Saul-Rinaldi, Vice-President of Government Affairs and Policy for HPC, reflected on the need for the legislation, "More than 2.25 million Americans work in the energy efficiency industry, according to the 2018 Energy Efficiency Jobs in America report issued by E4TheFuture—with 57% in construction and repair work. But companies are struggling to find trained, qualified workers. Small businesses can be hesitant to invest in training workers who may change jobs and the cost of building science training has increased as clean technology grows more sophisticated. Jobs in energy-efficient lighting, HVAC, insulation and air sealing, and energy management technology are available, but trained professionals are in short supply."
As Leticia Colon de Mejias said, "We need a comprehensive, nationwide program to improve education and training for workers in the efficiency and clean energy industries, including manufacturing, engineering, construction, and building retrofitting jobs. This is exactly what the Blue Collar to Green Collar Jobs Act of 2019 would create."

It's finally time for the most unpredictable awards show of the year.
We know, you've heard that before when it comes to star-studded shows. But at tonight's MTV Video Music Awards, we really aren't quite sure what to expect.
Yes, Miley Cyrus is hosting and there will be a delay just in case she does something a little cuckoo. There's also the unpredictable fashion we can't wait to see on the red carpet.
But behind all of the shock and awe, some of the most talented musicians in the industry will be recognized for their skills on and off the stage. Take a look at five big moments we can't wait to see tonight from Downtown Los Angeles.
1. Prepare for Yeezus: Kanye West is about to get one of the best awards of all time...well sorta. The "Black Skinhead" rapper will receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award Sunday night. Previous recipients of MTV's highest honor include Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake and Madonna. While the presenter has yet to be announced, we're all secretly hoping for a Taylor Swift appearance.
2. Hostess With the Mostess: Anything can happen when the "We Can't Stop" singer gets behind the mic. The 22-year-old will serve as host and we can likely count on barely-there outfits, profane language and maybe some tongue wagging? "We have [planned] a lot of wide camera shots and a lot of audience reaction shots. And we have a delay so we're prepared for her," executive producer and outgoing MTV president Van Toffler told Billboard Thursday. "She feels like the perfect host."
3. Comeback King: Just days after his new single "What Do You Mean" hit the radio, Justin Bieber is set to wow MTV audiences with a performance of the track as well as the official music video release. "It's actually perfect for summer, even though summer's just ending," the Biebs told Radio.com. "I had the best time recording it; I had the best time recording my album."
4. Taylor's New Love: In addition to Bieber's new music video, fans will get to see Swift's latest masterpiece with the one and only Scott Eastwood. Based on the short (but so sweet) teaser, the "Wildest Dreams" music video will feature a whole lot of romance. "Amazing working with @TaylorSwift13," Eastwood teased on Twitter over the weekend. "I'm proud to call you a true friend. #RockStar #WildestDreamsMusicVideo."
5. Stage Is Yours: For those who just want to hear some good music, you're in luck. Nicki Minaj is set to open the live show while Nick Jonas will perform his new single "Levels" for the first time during the MTV pre-show. Demi Lovato, Pharrell Williams, Tori Kelly, Macklemore and The Weeknd will also take to the stage.
Don't miss the highly-anticipated return of Fashion Police this Monday for the VMA special at 8/7c featuring hosts Melissa Rivers, Giuliana Rancic, Brad Goreski with special guests NeNe Leakes and Margaret Cho!

Sprint debuted its new AIRAVE femtocell today, promising that the device can deliver cellular coverage anywhere, even when existing cellular service is not available. This type of functionality could be ideal for any number of people, including those who live in an area where coverage should be strong, but isn't. My parents' last house was theoretically overlapped by three towers, but practically cut off. The home sat at the bottom of a steep hill; cellular coverage was perfect at the top of the driveway and nonexistent at the garage. Femtocells overcome this problem by serving as a miniature cell phone tower within one's home or office. The calls themselves are backhauled through the customer's preexisting Internet connection.
"Customers are using their wireless phones at home more than ever, and with the AIRAVE, Sprint is making it even more convenient for customers to rely on their Sprint phones while in their home or office," said Sprint SVP Kevin Packingham in a statement. "For customers who want to reduce their monthly communication expenses by using their wireless phone as their only phone, the AIRAVE offers enhanced coverage that works with all Sprint phones, plus the option of a low-cost and worry-free unlimited in-home calling plan."
The potential advantages of the service are obvious, but Sprint isn't exactly giving it away. The Airave unit itself is $99.99 and must be activated when purchased. Customers must also pay a monthly Airave enhanced coverage charge ($4.99), and purchase an Airave plan ($10-20 per month, depending on your plan). The total monthly cost of Airave should run $15-25 before taxes and fees. $15 isn't much, considering you're buying cellular service for an area that (presumably) lacked it, but it's extremely ironic that Sprint is charging users for the dubious privilege of providing their own backhaul.
Sprint states that the Airave should provide up to 5,000 square feet of coverage, and access to the device can be restricted to approved phone numbers. Up to three people can use Airave simultaneously. The Airave calling plans themselves are unlimited, but there's a bit of a caveat to that statement. Switching from a Sprint tower to the femtocell is seamless, but rate plan transitions only work one way. Moving from the femtocell to a standard tower switches your rate plan from unlimited to whatever it is you have, while moving from a tower to the Airave does not. Customers who place a call through a tower are charged at that rate, even if they are within range of a femtocell base station. If you want to switch rate plans in that case, you'll have to hang up and redial.
The femtocell industry is poised to expand. AT&T is testing femtocell technology, as is Motorola, and T-Mobile has its HotSpot@Home service—but there are still quirks within the hardware that need to be ironed out. For one thing, ubiquitous compatibility is not assured. T-Mobile's technology only works with phones that are WiFi enabled, and future services may have other restrictions depending on how the technology is implemented. Best case, this is an issue that will only crop up in first-generation products; future femtocells will hopefully be both vendor-neutral and standardized.
Paying for the right to backhaul over one's personal Internet connection isn't a great deal for consumers, but the benefits of femtocells could easily erase the negatives, especially when it comes to providing coverage in hard-to-reach areas. Deployed en masse, these miniature towers could offer truly ubiquitous coverage, and make random dead zones a thing of the past.

While "American Idol" fans are still waiting to see what will become of those Nick Jonas and Pharrell Williams rumors, on Monday came yet another name to add to the "potential new 'Idol' judge" list: Nicki Minaj.
The fiery rapper is said to be in talks for a judging position on Fox's singing competition, although neither the network nor Minaj's reps had a comment on the reports.
According to Us Weekly, Minaj's deal isn't done, but inside sources claim that she's "definitely" headed for the judges' table. Earlier this month, The Hollywood Reporter suggested that Minaj was among a number of potential celebrities being considered, including Enrique Iglesias and Keith Urban.
The only person currently occupying a seat at "Idol's" judges' table for sure is Mariah Carey, who announced she was joining the show in July. (If you believe the chatter, Carey's rumored to be none too pleased about these suggestions that Minaj will be joining her.)
Longtime judge Randy Jackson remains an unknown factor, as there's been speculation that he'll step back for a mentoring role.
Either way, Minaj herself is keeping quiet. On her Twitter account Monday, the 29-year-old promised a "surprise" for her fans, but it turned out to be the bottle - a sort of self-portrait of the hip-hop star, complete with her "signature pink bob" - and the name of her new fragrance, Pink Friday.
The scent is expected to arrive in September, Minaj said on Twitter Tuesday, telling a curious follower that the new perfume smells "like angels playing."

Police arrested a man Saturday for threatening to blow up Philadelphia's iconic Liberty Bell, according to police.
The unidentified man apparently left two black backpacks in front of the Liberty Wheels wheelchair and scooter rental shop in downtown Philadelphia.
Police said a bomb squad was called in and secured the scene but found that the bags did not contain explosives.
"I have no idea why" the man did this, police spokeswoman Christine O'Brien said.
The bell is considered an iconic monument to American independence.
What a disgusting maniac he would have to be to threaten to damage the Liberty Bell!
Oh well. It's just a thing. Better than blowing up people.
Which people?
Any people. Just observing that landmarks are a better target for terrorism than humans.
"A person's a person, no matter how small."
Are you really BOMBO?
You used to know when I was joking.
.Don't worry JIF, I was just joking too, as demonstrated by the Dr Seuss quote.
Mental illness is more wide spread then actually is, please leave the sabbath alone
OK, the sabbath may be as alone as Garbo.
So which day do you want me not to text or answer the phone: Saturday or Sunday?
What about Friday?
@ Jif, no that isnt BOMBO.
Why do you say that?
Really cnn? You block my posts relating to the blog, allow people to argue about whether or not they're true christians? Unbelievable
Does anyone think this sounds like an episode of always sunny in philadelphia?
@jif lol love you
A real wacko indeed. Perhaps in his twisted frame of mind he couldn't stand the sight of these iconic symbols standing for Liberty, Freedom , Justice & Equality for all. What a crazy fellow.
Good morning all.
Obama stands for oppressive government, overtaxation, punishing success and massive debt so why have a liberty bell?

text: Attn:Beneficiary, Due to the recent Obama's visit to Ghana and the A.U (African Union) Meeting that was concluded last Friday, in Ethiopia, the Ecowas committee on financial debts/settlement has decided that all affected beneficiaries will get paid, through online payment systems. This is because some beneficiaries has faced much hazards in receiving their funds through other means of transfer i.e K.T.T Key tested telegraphic transfer Check, And draft delivery and diplomatic delivery, which often times turned out to be fraudulent act by some mis-creants in our banking sector back home here in west Africa. However, the Paris Club ,World Bank and the IMF therefore suggested that the online payment will be more safer and secured , in other to run away from the hazards that are faced with other modes/method of payment in this this magnitude. Having said that, be advised to contact with the online bank, to enable you open an online bank account with the bank, thereafter you will commence withdrawal online with immediate effect!! Meanwhile, do endeavor to call on the receipt of this mail to enable immediate accreditation to be made on your payment file, and enable us issue you the direct access contact to the payee bank Congratulations!!!!

Payback² HD - The Battle Sandbox Review
- Publisher: Apex Designs Entertainment Ltd
- Genre: Racing
- Released: 4 Oct, 2012
- Size: 99.4 MB
- Price: $79.99
- Bite sized, action-packed stages; boils down the GTA flavor to an intense punch.
- Fun weapons and exciting unique levels; each mission feels hand-tailored.
- Blocky city construction and awkward camera control; makes it difficult to 'see ahead' at times and can even block out your view entirely in the case of tunnels.
- Painful audio; very low quality sound-effects come off as piercing/grating at just about any volume level.
- Hitting people with vehicles is underwhelming; makes vehicles mostly useless barring basic transport.
While not a massive leap forward for the genre as a whole, Payback² makes for a seriously fun distraction if you enjoy always-changing mindless action.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
For gamers like myself, the idea of a truly open-ended experience can be daunting - it's not that I can't set myself goals and then achieve them, but that I kind of expect that sort of input from the people who made them game. As such the genre has never really appealed; at least not for an extended period of time. Thankfully there's always Payback^2 by Apex Design, a resurrected iOS GTA-a-like classic that concentrates on bite-sized action-packed missions while still retaining an open-world flavor.
Gone are the trite storylines that drag you from district to district in a hollow attempt to slowly unravel the full scope of gameplay on offer - in its place are missions that pit you against the AI, either in teams or by yourself. While they're not always the sharpest tools in the shed, Payback^2 makes up for this by making most scenarios as over-the-top as possible; heck, the first mission places you in a tank against people with pistols (and the occasional passing car).
Control is streamlined to a basic twin-stick setup (though tilting can be substituted for turning in vehicles), placing an emphasis on the action instead. Need to highjack a car? Just tap on it. Need to jump out? Hit the handy button at the top of the screen.
Should you get sick of taking on bots by yourself you can take the game online, pitting yourself and three friends to customized challenges. Feeling a bit antisocial, but think you can do better than the developer at designing scenarios? You can do that too thanks to the custom challenge mode.
If there's one thing holding back the game it's the rather dated and functional aesthetic of the visuals. Blocky models, zoomed out perspectives, jagged hills, and civilian-free cities result in a very spartan environment that's only held together thanks to the wide variety of special effects that will spew-forth from weapons and vehicles alike. It's not going to win a showcase for artwork, but at least you'll see the rocket headed towards your face before you explode in a shower of red mist.
Payback^2 is the sort of no-nonsense bite-sized GTA-like companion that has been missing from the App Store. While there's nothing wrong with engaging in a larger storyline and a larger world, sometimes you just want to run over vehicles with a tank 'no questions asked', and I ask you, is that so wrong to want now and then?

There are eight million stories in the Clockwork City; will you write one of them? This week's Concept Art Writing Prompt is all about location, location. Can you come up with a brief story set in this city of endlessly turning gears?
This bit of mad urbanism was created by video game concept artist Daniel Dociu, via Dark Roasted Blend. This time there are no ready-made characters to play with, just a mechanical setting. If it inspires you, post your story in the comments.
Here's my tale from the City of Gears:
Pinter wasn't worried when the gears stopped, at least not at first. Interruptions in service weren't common, but they happened, usually when a foreign dignitary was in town and needed some extra time to get his motorcade from one gear to the next. He checked the clock, tracking how late he would be. But by the time the bell rang, signaling the end of Cross-Cultural Communications and the beginning of Applied Biomechanics, he began to tick his stylus against his tablet. He felt something small and sharp graze his cheek and skitter onto his desk. He picked it up and examined it: a small, chewed off fingernail. He whipped around to see Sashay Liang glaring at him, jabbing a ragged finger into the air.
"Stop that tapping," she hissed. Of course, she didn't have a tablet to tap on. None of the kids in his form did, relying instead on goggles — or even contact lens — that reacted to the barely conscious flutter of their eyes. And she didn't have to worry about getting to Niven Gear at the end of the day. In fact, Pinter would wager his meager life's savings that no one in his form had ever been to Niven Gear, not when they could comfortably slum it on the Teeth.
Mr. Nguyen was predictably late for Ancient Programming Languages, and the usual chatter flickered across Pinter's tablet screen: "Nguyen will he get here?" "If he doesn't show, Nguyen can we blow this place?" "Not if, but Nguyen." A figure appeared in the doorway, but instead of Mr. Nguyen, a stack of battered TeraBoxes spilling from his arms, it was Madame Dufresne. She made eye contact with Pinter and he rose, hugging his tablet to his chest.
"We had an airship crash, the debris lodged itself right between the Teeth of Pratchett and Resnick." Pinter watched the wrinkles around her mouth crease and increase as she spoke, barely registering her words. But when she told him they wouldn't have the gears up and running until tomorrow, his vision went fuzzy and blue. "It's to get us all back on the proper schedule," she explained. "They'll turn them back on at the precise time they went off today."
"How far are we from Niven's Meet?" he asked, fighting the urge to let his legs sway beneath him.
"A hundred and seventeen degrees," she said.
A hundred and seventeen degrees! Pratchett was the largest gear in their set, and it would take him half a day to get that far on foot. He suddenly wished he'd invested in a magbike instead of buying that pricey vegetable frother. "What about the commuters?" he asked.
"Most of the businesses are putting them up in capsules. We can reserve one for you, too." She frowned. "But you'd probably rather stay with one of your form-mates, wouldn't you?"
Pinter glanced inside the classroom, watching his form-mates snigger across technology so expensive and slick, it might as well be telepathy. He looked back at Madame Dufresne, trying on a warm smile. "Right," he chuckled, "of course. Don't worry about me."
When he returned to his desk, he checked the contents of his pack: two mochi cakes he'd neglected to eat that morning while waiting for Niven to meet the Tooth closest to his school, a pairing knife, a pullover, and a bottle of kombucha he'd poured of his culture the night before. He'd have to tell his mom that the school had gotten him a capsule; no sense in worrying her. But it would just be one night in the biggest, richest gear in the set. What was the worst that could happen?

updated 12:05 p.m. ET
Washington (CNN) - After first defending his actions, Rep. Michael Grimm, R-New York, apologized Wednesday for physically threatening a NY1 News reporter at the Capitol.
"I apologized. I called (the reporter) Michael Scotto up. He was very gracious in accepting my apology. We're going to have lunch sometime next week and make sure this is all behind us," Grimm told reporters in Washington.
"This was an unfortunate incident that shouldn't have happened. I'm sure my Italian mother is going to be yelling at me, saying 'you weren't raised that way' and she's right," he added
Scotto confirmed that he spoke with Grimm.
It all started when the congressman, who's under investigation by the Justice Department for illegal fundraising during his 2010 campaign, walked away from an on-camera interview Tuesday night after the State of the Union address. Grimm stormed off when Scotto tried to ask him a question at the end about the campaign finance allegations.
"Alright, so Congressman Michael Grimm does not want to talk about the allegations concerning his campaign finances," Scotto said. "We wanted to get him on camera on that, but he, as you saw, refused to talk about that. Back to you."
[twitter-follow screen_name='politicalticker'][twitter-follow screen_name='KilloughCNN']
With the camera still rolling, Grimm surged toward the reporter, who appeared visibly surprised.
The second-term congressman, who's also a former Marine and former FBI agent, spoke aggressively to Scotto for about 20 seconds.
NY1, a CNN affiliate, broadcast the confrontation late Tuesday night, though it bleeped out the obscenities.
"Let me be clear to you: If you ever do that to me again, I'll throw you off this f***ing balcony," Grimm said, as they were standing on the third floor of the rotunda in the Cannon House building.
Scotto replied that he was just trying to ask "a valid question."
"No, no. You're not man enough, you're not man enough. I'll break you in half, like a boy," Grimm replied.
First elected in 2010, Grimm represents Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn. In a statement late Tuesday night to NY1, he defended his comments, saying he was "extremely annoyed" because he was "doing NY1 a favor by rushing to do their interview first in lieu of several other requests."
"The reporter knew that I was in a hurry and was only there to comment on the State of the Union, but insisted on taking a disrespectful and cheap shot at the end of the interview, because I did not have time to speak off-topic," he added.
"I verbally took the reporter to task and told him off, because I expect a certain level of professionalism and respect, especially when I go out of my way to do that reporter a favor."
Talking to reporters Wednesday morning after the apology, Grimm said he's "passionate" and tends to "wear my emotions on my sleeve."
The congressman said he had been working on flood insurance legislation all day Tuesday and was under "a lot of pressure to deliver because I want my constituents to know I do have their back."
Speaking with another group of reporters Wednesday, Grimm was asked whether he has talked to the FBI or the Justice Department about the investigation.
"No, not at all," he said.
Grimm is accused of taking campaign donations from overseas and encouraging donors to exceed contribution limits.
Two people close to Grimm have been charged in the case, but Grimm denies any involvement.
Earlier Wednesday morning, Scotto said he didn't expect much of a reaction from Grimm to his question the previous night.
"I was surprised about his reaction," Scotto said Wednesday morning on CNN's New Day. "I'm a New York City reporter. I'm used to pushback but I never encountered anything like that"
Asked by CNN anchor Chris Cuomo if he thought the threat was real, Scotto said "I don't believe the substance of the threat at all. I'm not taking it personal. I just think he was angry by the fact that I asked that question and I think he was even more angry by the fact that I kind of explained to viewers why he was not going to answer that question."
Scotto added that there were no preconditions when he spoke to the Grimm before the interview started.
NY1 Political Director Bob Hardt also released a statement, calling the congressman's behavior "unacceptable."
"It is extremely disturbing when anyone threatens one of our reporters – let alone a U.S. Congressman. The NY1 family is certainly alarmed and disappointed by the behavior of Representative Grimm and demands a full apology from him. This behavior is unacceptable," reads the statement.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which has long been targeting Grimm over the allegations, was quick to push out the confrontation in an e-mail blast to reporters Tuesday night.
Grimm has been known to get testy with reporters in the past, including on CNN's "The Situation Room" last fall.
CNN's Athena Jones, Deirdre Walsh, Kevin Liptak, Conor Finnegan and Greg Seaby contributed to this report.
Oh give me a break. This was a cheap shot by that slimey reporter against Grimm. Grimm should have handled it better but this slime ball reporter certainly had an agenda and knew he was taking a cheap shot at Grimm. He looks like a slimey lefty from the picture.
Mr. Grimm this are seriously Grim Comments and Such ROWDY behavior? Are you a Gangsta? Throw you Off Balcony? Throw Mr. Grimm into Prison... Better yet, Deport him to Afghanistan or Somalia !!
At this rate the Democrats will have the majority in Congress BEFORE the mid-terms.
I am the last person to take someone to task for accidental statements, the occasional over-reaction, and the like. Michael Grimm, R-New York exceeded the allowable limits with a direct, personal, and overtly threatening attempt at intimidation. Congressman should fear making belligerent threats. It is obvious that our lawmakers are above the law, and beyond reproach when they abuse the privileges of their offices. When will they ever be held accountable? I say, "Right now!" Congressman Grimm should be censored or reprimanded publicly for his actions. This event should serve as a deterrent for other elected officials!
It's nice he apologized. Now, how about an answer to the question?
17 pages of comments...
Am I the only one that thinks that this is being blown way out of proportion?
Not even the reporter to whom his comment was addressed is tripping like some of you are over this Rep's behaviour.
Maybe it's just me.
I would expect to be arrested for such an incident, but he's a republican, so not only is there no charges, he is infact the victim here.
" he paid 14% of his income which I would guess would amount to a far greater amount than either you or I paid combined."
Yes, someone please cue up "In the Arms of an Angel" so we can all have a good cry in sympathy for Mittens suffering at having to pay a grossly lesser tax percentage than families that are struggling to make ends meet because that percentage was still "more money than we'll see in our lifetimes" just like the 85%+/- of that fortune he was left with. Poor little guy. The 1%'s victimhood is neverending. Clearly, they are the most oppressed and persecuted group of people evah and our oppression of them must stop. For just 35% of your earnings per year, you too can help an insanely rich buffoon pay only 15% of their earnings in taxes. Won't you donate today?
Anon, an intelligent and mature response, as expected.
And of course he will amend his return, every available loophole maximized, isn't he in a unreasonable 39% tax bracket? People who idolize this man are complete idiots, a little Google can go a long way fools .

OMG, tomorrow is SPRING! Time for tank tops, outdoor workouts, bright, sunny colors and post-run sidewalk brunches, right!? Oh, but, ummmm, it's still kinda cold in much of the country, and apparently it's gonna stay that way for a while. And while it may be getting warm enough for us to strip down mid-workout, we're not exactly ready to bear our bare arms and legs before and after.
Good thing there are so many cute layering options out there for wearing over our shorts and sleeveless tops. Since the foreseeable future is looking to be more lion than lamb, embrace the opportunity to layer up with these fashion-friendly fitness pieces.
1. Ultra-Light Vest: How awesome is the "lightning-bolt quilting" on this Electric Yoga down vest ($128)? Plus, it comes with its own packable bag so it's easy to stash away once you get warmed up. So. Cool.
2. Frenchie Short Sleeve Track Top: When it gets too warm for long sleeves but you're not quite ready to rock a tank all by itself, this zip-up Adidas sweatshirt ($60) will do the job nicely.
3. Thermodynamic Hoody: Super lightweight thermal fabric and a cute paisley burnout pattern make for the perfect to-and-from-the-gym pullover, exclusively from Title Nine ($59). Plus, yellow is THE color for spring.
4. Rainbow Running Sleeves: Maybe I'm just picky, but running with a jacket tied around my waist really messes with my rhythm -- almost as much as leaving the jacket on and getting totally overheated. Set yourself free from excess clothing by sporting a pair of Rainbow Brite-style UPF 50+ Sugoi arm sleeves ($25) instead. They're so thin and lightweight, you can peel 'em off and stuff 'em in a pocket without missing a step.
5. Performance Track Pant: These basic black pants from 2XU ($90) slip on over shorts or yoga capris, wick away sweat, and you can adjust their length and width -- so they're great for tall and short girls alike, and you don't even have to remove your sneakers to get them on and off.
6. See Me Through Jacket: Not thrilled about hiding your cute spring tops under an outer layer? Make a statement (and show off your neon) with this Under Armour Women's jacket ($128) with allover graphic cut-outs. Ventilation never looked so sexy!

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (CNNMoney) – Hostess Brands and a key union agreed Monday to try to mediate their dispute — an unexpected development that could spare the company from permanently shutting down.
The Bakery Workers union, which represents 5,000 of the 18,500 employees at the maker of Twinkies and Wonder Bread, went on strike on Nov. 9. The company had imposed paycuts and other concessions opposed by the union's membership.
On Friday, management announced a shutdown of Hostess and appeared before U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain on Monday afternoon seeking approval to liquidate.
But Drain said he wanted the parties to try one last time to reach agreement. Drain will serve as the mediator at a session scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. Only one day of talks is set for now.
Hostess CEO Greg Rayburn said the company needs a final decision on Tuesday. Monday's hearing on the liquidation motion was rescheduled for Wednesday at 11 a.m.
Tom Becker, spokesman for Hostess, said operations at its plants and distribution centers nationwide remain shutdown at this time. They were closed Friday morning when the company announced plans to liquidate.
A spokesman for the Bakery Workers union could not be immediately reached for comment. A spokesman for the Teamsters union, which represents 6,700 workers at Hostess, said he could not comment on the mediation.
Rayburn had said on Friday that it was too late to save the company, even if the Bakers returned to work at that time. That belief was echoed by company attorneys in bankruptcy court Monday.
"It would be very hard for us to recover from this damage, even if there were an agreement," said Heather Lennox, one of the lawyers for Hostess.
But Drain was clear that he wanted every effort made to avoid liquidation before he would sign of off the the company's motion. He cited the 18,000 jobs at stake.
"I believe that mediation only works if the parties are willing to do it, but I'm also strongly suggesting that they should be willing to do it," he said.
Bakery Workers' union lawyer Jeff Freund wouldn't speculate about the chance for a deal following the hearing. He had told the court that the union had already spelled out what needed to be done in order to produce a viable company.
"The court very respectfully asked that we participate in mediation and we'll honor the court's request," Freund said.
Rayburn refused to handicap the chances for a deal.
"I guess there's always a chance," he told reporters. "We'll take all the help we can get. [But] it doesn't change our financial situation."
But he insisted that management would be pleased if it could avoid liquidation.
"Everybody would agree that 18,500 people out of work would be about as bad a result as you can get," he said.
Hostess has announced its intention to sell its brands and recipes for various products and other assets as a way to generate cash for its creditors. Even if the products are purchased by other companies and once again sold to consumers, most potential buyers are unlikely to rehire Hostess employees to produce or deliver those products.
One hope for the unions and the employees was raised earlier in the day Monday when private equity firm Sun Capital Partners disclosed it wants to buy Hostess as a going concern, including reopening the shuttered factories and continuing union representation of Hostess workers.
Before Sun Capital's interest was first reported by Fortune Monday, the unions' statements and filings seemed resigned to the fact that Hostess will be closed down and the hourly workers will be out of work.
The Bakery Workers union issued a statement Saturday citing mismanagement over a number of years for the company's troubles.

"Hostess failed because its six management teams over the last eight years were unable to make it a profitable, successful business enterprise," said the union.
But it said its members understood when they went on strike that a shutdown of the company would likely occur.
"They were well aware of the potential consequences of their actions but stood strong for dignity, justice and respect," the union's said.

Bio – The Lord called me into the ministry in 1973 and I studied for the ministry at Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina. Over the years, the Lord has allowed me to be involved in many exciting ministries. I have served as assistant pastor in several churches, done supply work and was involved in the bus ministry for a number of years. These were all part time ministries and I worked a public job. The Lord began dealing with me in 2005 about fulltime ministry. I took early retirement from my public job on April 14, 2006 and trusted the Lord to direct me to the fulltime ministry that he wanted me in. He opened the door for me to join the staff of The Conversion Center, Inc. where I ministered under the leadership of Dr. Edwin G. Moore.
At the definite leading of the Lord, I resigned from The Conversion Center in May of 2008 and started this new ministry, Calvary Ministries To Catholics. These are exciting times and I am looking forward to the Lord opening new areas for this ministry. As he continues to direct my paths, it is my sincere desire to share the precious truths of God's Holy Word with as many precious Roman Catholics as I can. More than anything else in the world, I would like for Roman Catholics to "know the truth and have the truth make them free."

The latest report charting the evolution of education and training systems across Europe and outlining clear policy messages for Member States was adopted by the European Commission on 13 November. The Education and Training Monitor 2014, with Cedefop among the contributors, is the Commission's flagship indicators-based publication.
It combines, in a clear and concise format, the latest quantitative and qualitative data, recent technical reports and studies, plus policy documents and developments, drawing on the latest empirical evidence.
For this year's edition, the third in an annual series, Cedefop has provided information on employability of vocational education and training (VET) graduates based on the findings of the forthcoming Cedefop policy report, as well as data from Cedefop's statistical overviews (see link) and skill forecasts (see link). As in previous editions, for its analysis the Education and Training Monitor refers widely to Cedefop's work and publications on various topics, such as labour market outcomes of VET graduates, skill analysis, apprenticeship and adult learning.
The Education and Training Monitor 2014 supports implementation of the strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training (ET 2020) by strengthening the evidence-base for policy-making and links it to the broader Europe 2020 strategy and the country-specific recommendations adopted by the Council.
The full report, 28 country reports, as well as a visualisation tool to evaluate the performance and progress of the Member States in relation to the ET 2020 targets are available from the official website at: (http://ec.europa.eu/education/tools/et-monitor_en.htm)

WASHINGTON – It's the time of year when seniors are being asked to reevaluate Medicare and drug program plans.
The crooks have picked up on this and are now targeting some seniors, calling and threatening to have benefits cut-off if they don't provide information such as bank account numbers.
Brian Gottstein, a spokesman for Virginia's Attorney General, says the scam has turned up in several parts of the state.
"When somebody calls you and they ask for all of this information – your financial information, your personal information – don't give it to them," Gottstein says.
Anyone who gets such a call should hang-up and then call his or her Medicare contact number to report it. Gottstein also recommends for Medicare recipients to frequently check their accounts.

Above image shows NASA annual mean 64°N-90°N land-ocean temperature anomalies from 1951-1980, with +0.59°C added for the rise from 1750 to 1951-1980. A polynomial trend is added (based on 1880-2016 data), pointing at 4.5°C anomaly by 2019.
Will the Arctic keep warming over the coming years in line with this trend? Let's have a look at what affects temperatures in the Arctic most, specifically Ocean Heat, Sea Ice, Land Temperatures and Emissions.
1. Ocean Heat
Warmer Oceans on the Northern Hemisphere will contribute strongly to warming in the Arctic. Here's a graph showing a trend pointing at continued warming of the oceans on the Northern Hemisphere.
Will oceans keep warming like that, in particular the North Atlantic? The Coriolis force keeps pushing warm water of the North Atlantic along the Gulf Stream toward the Arctic Ocean.
On the image on the right, the Gulf Stream shows up as the warmer water (orange and yellow) off the coast of North America.
Thus, as oceans keep warming, warmer water will reach the Arctic Ocean, melting the sea ice from below.
The image on the right shows that the sea surface was 9.3°C or 16.8°F warmer than 1981-2011 on May 7, 2017, at the location marked by the green circle.
Meanwhile, the sun will warm up the sea ice from above. The sea ice acts as a barrier, insulating the water of the Arctic Ocean from the heat from above. As long as there is sea ice, water just underneath the sea ice will stay close to freezing point.
Sea ice can strongly affect the amount of heat that is retained by Earth. Sea ice reflects most sunlight back into space, but in the absence of sea ice, most sunlight will instead be absorbed by oceans.
For almost a year now, global sea ice extent has been way below what it used to be, meaning that huge amounts of sunlight that were previously reflected back into space, are now instead getting absorbed by Earth, as shown by the graph below (by Wipneus).
Over the past 365 days, most of the Arctic has been more than 2.5°C or 4.5°F warmer than it was in 1981-2010, as the image on the right illustrates. Note also the anomalies around Antarctica. Decline of the snow and ice cover contributes strongly to these temperature anomalies.
When looking at albedo changes, sea ice area is an even more critical measure than sea ice extent. For a discussion of the difference between area and extent, see this NSIDC page. The image below shows trends for both Arctic and Antarctic sea ice area pointing downward.
When looking at sea ice volume, zero sea ice in September 2017 is within the margins of the trendline below on the right.
|[ Arctic sea ice, gone by Sept. 2017? ]
Arctic sea ice is at a record low volume for the time of the year (see graph below by Wipneus). This means that there is very little sea ice left to act as a buffer this year. Therefore, heat that won't be consumed in the process of melting the ice will instead speed up Arctic warming.
As said - less sea ice additionally makes that less sunlight will be reflected back into space, and that instead more heat will speed up Arctic warming.
The satellite image below of the Beaufort Sea shows that the sea ice is cracked in many places and broken into pieces by winds, waves, currents and ocean heat. A huge crack can be seen running along the Canadian Archipelago toward Greenland (bottom right on the image).
An animation (1.3 MB) is added at the end of this post showing the sea ice breaking into pieces in the Beaufort Sea from April 26 to May 10, 2017. It illustrates that a combined force of winds, waves, currents and ocean heat can break even the thicker ice into pieces, with the danger that all ice can be pushed out of the Arctic Ocean.
3. Temperatures on land
High temperatures on land will affect the Arctic in a number of ways. What kind of temperatures can be expected over the coming months, which are so critical for Arctic sea ice?
- Heatwaves
Heatwaves over the continents can more easily extend over the Arctic Ocean as the Northern Polar Jet Stream becomes more wavy. Heatwave conditions are more likely to occur as the jet stream is changing due to accelerated warming of the Arctic.
- Wildfires
High temperatures on land can also cause wildfires that can in turn cause huge quantities of emissions, including soot that when settling on snow and ice, can strongly speed up melting. The image below shows carbon dioxide as high as 607 ppm and carbon monoxide as high as 24.84 over Laos on May 4, 2017.
- Warm water from rivers flowing into the Arctic Ocean
Furthermore, high temperatures on land will warm up the water of rivers flowing into the Arctic Ocean.
- El Niño
An El Niño event can dramatically boost temperatures of the atmosphere. What are the projections for an El Niño in 2017? The image on the right, by the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts), indicates an El Niño that is gaining strength.
4. Emissions and Greenhouse Gas Levels
Continued emissions and high greenhouse gas levels are responsible for warming of the planet. Have efforts to cut emissions been successful? Is growth in greenhouse gas levels slowing down? The image below shows accelerating growth of carbon dioxide levels recorded at Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
The image below shows methane levels at Barrow, Alaska.
The situation is dire and calls for comprehensive and effective action, as described in the Climate Plan.
The animation below shows the break up of the sea ice in the Beaufort Sea from April 26 to May 10, 2017. It illustrates that a combined force of winds, waves, currents and ocean heat can break even the thicker ice into pieces, with the danger that all ice can be pushed out of the Arctic Ocean.

I am away from the rabbit patch, right now. I am by the sea-and in the absence of fields. I am just a few hours away from my country dwelling, but it is a different place altogether with it's streets full of cars , air full of salt and its' "big shining water". My niece Hayley and I are visiting my first -born, Brant for a few days.
Wilmington is a fancy place -especially when compared to the rabbit patch. It has historical significance and the charm that goes with it. It is rich in cultural arts. The residents come from everywhere and they come bearing their unique gifts . It is a friendly place by the sea and I like that. Still, I think my Brant, is the best thing that Wilmington has going for it.
I expect to spend my days here writing and cooking-two of my favorite things. The yard at Brant's townhouse is well-manicured and tended by a staff. There is not a garden on the premises either. It seems I am left to my own devices as I am the only one without an agenda. I brought a few books along as there is a pool to read by and the grounds are a lovely place to take a walk. I think that the chances of a neighbor showing up with a bushel of stringbeans or cucumbers are pretty slim too, so I must resort to a life of leisure for a while.
I do not drive while in Wilmington. Thank goodness that Hayley is not hindered in the least by all of the activity in the street. The best I can tell. .. everybody is late for something and think they have nine lives. It is most unpleasant for me to even ride along in such chaos. Hayley, however sings along with the radio and takes great notice of the shops as we are zipping along-unless it says "ice-cream" I am unaware. I come back alittle shattered and am convinced that I am an old lady, after all! My commute to work is fifteen minutes through fields and horse farms-and I am very glad about it.
I am a firm believer that isolation is a missing factor in most of our lives. I make it a priority to have some of it daily, but several days of writing without interruption and reading til I simply don't want to anymore, is a happy, but inconceivable notion. I will wonder about a lot of things during my "holiday". I will call old friends and write pretty cards. I will write in Lyla's journal-and in my own too. I will visit the ancient oak on one of my walks, which is surely sacred and grows just a bit away from Brant's front door. I will cook a "Sunday dinner" on a Wednesday, and make a cake too.
Best of all, I will have conversations with Brant on late evenings. We will sit by a pond , with a splashing fountain, outside of his back door. There is also a small patch of woods with wisteria still blooming! I will listen to his dreams and he will hear mine. We will talk about our yesterdays and the hope of times yet to come. I will look at this beautiful human, generous and kind in spirit-a lover of all living things-and who has enough charm to brag about, and be glad he is my own son.
These are the kinds of things I wish to tuck deep in my heart, for a cold day in January -and again, when ice is falling on the rabbit patch on the longest night of the year and the earth is sleeping through it. . . I will remember my time well-spent in early summer away from the rabbit patch and
in the absence of fields.

SC court nixes James Brown estate settlement
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolina Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned a settlement divvying up the multimillion-dollar estate of James Brown, saying a former attorney general didn't follow the late soul singer's wishes in putting together the deal.
Attorney General Henry McMaster brokered a settlement in 2009 that split Brown's estate, giving nearly half to a charitable trust, a quarter to his widow, Tomi Rae Hynie, and leaving the rest to be split among his adult children.
But the justices ruled that the deal ignored Brown's wishes for most of his money to go to charity. The court also ruled the Godfather of Soul was of sound mind when he made his will before dying of heart failure on Christmas Day 2006 at age 73.
The court sent the estate back to a lower court to be reconsidered.
The justices did agree with the lower court's decision to remove Brown's original trustees. Members of Brown's family said they wanted them gone because the trustees mismanaged the estate until it was almost broke.
The court said it had no idea what the estate was worth, giving an estimate of $5 million to more than $100 million.
The justices harshly criticized McMaster, who stepped in to broker the settlement after the estate floundered in court for years. Under McMaster's deal, a professional manager took control of Brown's assets from the estate's trustees, wiping out crushing debt — more than $20 million Brown had borrowed for a European comeback tour — and opening the way for needy students to receive college scholarships. The plan allowed a financial manager to cut lucrative deals that put Brown's music on national and international commercials for products such as Chanel perfume and Gatorade.
Chief Justice Jean Toal suggested Wednesday that, if the settlement was allowed to stand, it could discourage people from leaving most of their estate to charity for fear their wishes could easily be overturned.
The dispute came to the court after the ousted trustees sued.
"The compromise orchestrated by the AG in this case destroys the estate plan Brown had established in favor of an arrangement overseen virtually exclusively by the AG," giving large sums of money to relatives even though they were given little or no control in the singer's original will, Associate Justice John Kittredge wrote.
The fight over Brown's estate even spilled over into what to do with his body. Family members fought over the remains for more than two months, leaving Brown's body, still inside a gold casket, sitting in cold storage in a funeral home. Brown was eventually buried in Beech Island, S.C., at the home of one of his daughters. The family wanted to turn the home into a shrine for Brown similar to Elvis Presley's Graceland, but that idea has not gotten off the ground.
An attorney for Adele Pope — one of the trustees who appealed — commended the court for its ruling, which he said would more accurately fulfill Brown's wishes.
"James Brown was certainly devoted to the cause of education," James Richardson said. "Today's decision means that the bulk of his fortune will go to the cause of educating needy children."
McMaster, who left office in 2010, did not immediately comment on the ruling. However, he said in 2011 that "the settlement was a very good one for ... the education of the poor children, because there was a danger that they would get nothing."
Current Attorney General Alan Wilson said he respected the court's decision but felt McMaster had acted legally.

Margenau-Alexanderwohl-Landskrone Mennonite Church (Molotschna Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)
The Margenau-Alexanderwohl-Landskrone Mennonite Church was composed of Mennonites living in the villages listed in the name, Molotschna settlement, Ukraine. The Margenau church was established in 1832, in which year a church building was erected in the village of Margenau. Originally Margenau belonged to the Flemish group of the Ohrloff-Petershagen-Halbstadt church. In 1842-1874 the church was known as the Margenau-Alexanderwohl Mennonite Church. Until 1890 the Alexanderkrone Mennonite Church had been a part of the congregation. After the immigration of the Alexanderwohl Mennonite Church to Kansas in 1874 the reorganized church in Russia with that name became a part of the Margenau church. In 1910, when the Landskrone group built a church, it seems to have become an independent congregation. After the Revolution, however, it was again an integral part of the Margenau church. In 1905 the Alexanderwohl group consisted of 355 members and 325 children and the Margenau church had 1,382 members and 1,492 children. (It is not clear whether these statistics include Landskrone.)
The first elder was Heinrich Wiens (1842-1847), who was removed from his office when he opposed the reform efforts of Johann Cornies. For 14 years the congregation was cared for by Heinrich Töws, the elder of the Pordenau Mennonite Church. He was succeeded by Bernhard Peters (1861-1887), Heinrich Koop (1887-1901), Peter Friesen (1901-1907), Gerhard Plett (1907-1928), and Heinrich T. Janz (1928-1932). The last elder had to leave the congregation, because of the high taxes which neither he nor the congregation could pay. The congregational life gradually disintegrated because of the anti-religious attitude of the Soviet government. One of the last and most impressive services conducted was the ordination of Heinrich T. Janz as elder conducted by his retiring predecessor, Gerhard Plett, who had baptized 1,543 members during his 20 years of service. The ordination took place at the church at Landskrone on 13 May 1928.
In 1930 Heinrich T. Janz precided over the baptism of thirty-seven young adults in Alexanderwohl. (See photograph published in Gerhard Lohrenz's Heritage Remembered.
