Peter Blake (1932-), Painter

Sir Peter Thomas Blake

Sitter in 15 portraits
Artist of 1 portrait
Blake graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1956. His work has always engaged with popular culture, from Children Reading Comics (1954) and ABC Minors (1955). He moved with his then wife, the artist Jann Haworth, to Wellow in Wiltshire in 1969, and in 1975 co-founded the short-lived Brotherhood of Ruralists. Blake was the chronicler of the Pop scene, in works ranging from Beachboys (1962), the first Trichromatic halftone silkscreen, to Madonna of Venice Beach I (1996).

Sorry these aren't the greatest pics (these were taken on my phone at work) but I will take some better ones once I have tidied it up a little. As mentioned in my introduction thread, I picked this up on Sunday from a family in Kent. It's done a few hundred miles off 46k and I am the 3rd owner. It runs really well and the interior is like a time warp (apart from some scuffed bolsters) although there are a few marks on the outside from parking by the looks of it.

Can't grumble for £475 though....

China's Communist Party leadership met Tuesday behind closed doors to decide the fate of Shanghai's sacked party boss and hammer out a new leadership lineup ahead of the critical People's Congress, which opens Monday.

Chen Liangyu, who has lost his seat in the party's decision-making Politburo, is expected to be formally expelled from the party.

How to Use the Context

Inquiry Question

Table of

Setting the Stage

Be aware that the Spanish word for a village is "pueblo" and American Indians who live in villages in the Southwest are known as "Puebloans" or "Pueblo Indians." In the remote Salinas basin in central New Mexico stand the weathered ruins of three Puebloan villages and the 17th-century Spanish colonial missions that make up Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. Two ancient southwestern cultural traditions--the Mogollon (muggy-own) and Anasazi--overlapped here and resulted in the Puebloan communities of Abó, Quarai, and Gran Quivira (also known as Las Humanas). From about A.D. 1000 to the 1600s, these three villages operated as major regional centers of trade with Indians from the Plains, the Pacific Coast, and the Great Basin. Gran Quivira, the largest of the Salinas villages, became a bustling community of 3,000 inhabitants.

Beginning in the 16th century, exploration and colonization by the Spanish greatly influenced the lives of the Puebloan people. Spain established missions throughout the Salinas basin in an attempt to Christianize and bring the roughly 10,000 Indian people living there into Spanish society. These missions were self-sufficient communities that included the Indian village or pueblo, a church, the friars' quarters or convento, fields, hunting and gathering areas, and work areas. Under the mission system, villagers received regimented instruction in Christianity as well as in European social and agricultural practices. But, the mission system did not survive long in the Salinas basin, and by the late 1670s, the inhabitants of this once thriving area were all but gone.

Tours Requiring Reservations

School Field Trips or Other Organized Groups

If you are an accredited school visiting the park for educational purposes, you are eligible for an Educational Entrance Fee Waiver. If this is your school's first time visiting the park, contact the Education Ranger to see if you need to submit an application. If you are another type of organized group (i.e. scouts, clubs) you are welcome to visit and arrange a special program but the normal entrance fees of $3 per person over 16 years of age apply.

Ranger-guided programs are free, but require pre-arrangement at least two weeks in advance. For more details on ranger programs both guided and self-guided and how to set up a field trip, visit our For Teachers page.

Calabasas and Guevavi Mission Tours

Tumacácori National Historical Park protects the ruins of three Spanish missions along the Santa Cruz River between the present day towns of Nogales and Tubac, Arizona. Two of these missions, San Cayetano de Calabazas and Los Santos Ángeles de Guevavi, are not generally open to the public, but can be visited on specially reserved tours.

Tours are offered on Saturdays from January through March for $25/person. Check out the Guided Tours page for additional details and to make reservations.

April Fools’ Day! + A Real Update about Our Website Redesign

Submitted by bethany on Wed, 04/01/2015 - 1:11pm

IT Director Karl and I have been dreaming about this little April Fools’ Day prank for over a year. We brought in our Drupal consultant Mark Burgess to create some funhouse-style CSS and asked Membership Director Megan to contribute some of her signature bad puns and goofy jokes to the April Fools’ Day beta launch announcement blog post. Seriously though, the NTEN staff, with help from wonderful consultants, have been making big strides towards the website redesign. Karl and Marketing & Publications Director Joleen give their updates.

You asked, we listened: NTEN’s website redesign beta launch!

Submitted by Megan on Tue, 03/31/2015 - 3:49pm

We're happy to announce the beta launch of our website redesign! This launch has been a long-time coming. We think our new website reflects our new direction(s) and reflects our responsiveness to the dynamic, often uneven, pace of technology innovation.

Two objects that appeared to be fireballs coming from the North sky in Naples Florida

At approximately 22:10 on 11/5/11, I was leaving work and noticed a red fireball object coming toward the building. I yelled out to a co-worker and he stepped out of the building, I told him to turn around and look up. I asked him what he thought it could be and he said a hot air balloon. I said then what is that coming from the north, as he turned around, he saw another object that was exactly the same following the first one. We know it was not a plane or jet, as it did not have any sound as it disappeared toward the south sky.

Metallic Disk hovering 300 feet about the ground near east side of Pella. The sun was reflecting off the object making it easy to see its shape and size. It had to be at least 30 feet wide and 8 feet in height. For nearly 11 seconds it hovered and just after that it instantly launched Northwestern across the town of Pella. With a slight incline of perhaps 5 - 10 degrees in a perfect straight line for 1 mile before blasting at a complete verticle line through the clouds. Estimating that the clouds were perhaps 10,000+ feet in altitude. This craft was easily travely 3+ miles per second without any sonic boom.

Microsoft Word - Datasource not being released after an automated mail merge

Asked By Andrew Lockwood on 06-May-12 06:17 PM
I am pulling my hair out over this one!

I have written a macro which merges a Word template with a .csv file created in another program.  The merge works fine, but the datasource file remains locked by Word, so I cannot create a new .csv file until I have closed all open documents in Word (not just the one I have created by the merge).  This is a major headache when wanting to create multiple documents in succession.

With ActiveDocument.MailMerge
            .OpenDataSource _
                Name:="d:\documents and settings\shared\word invoice.csv"
            .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
            .SuppressBlankLines = True
            With .DataSource
                .FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord
                .LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord
            End With
            .Execute Pause:=False
End With

Any hints / suggestions as to why Word is keeping the datasource file locked would be much appreciated.

Move Over Girl Scouts: Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookie

I haven’t posted a splurge-worthy recipe in a LONG time so look away if you are trying to fit into a bathing suit by the summer time. Look away if you are watching what you’re eating. You’re going to want one of these cookies now. And you will make a batch and want to eat them all and you will hate me for it. So if you like cookies, just look away. Pretend like you never saw this.

For those of you who are accepting of the splurge, these cookies were awesome. They resembled the Girl Scout Peanut Butter Sandwich cookie, only WAY, WAY, WAY better. First off, they are much bigger, the texture of the cookie is both soft and firm enough to bite into the sandwich without it breaking or falling apart and the filling is SO yummy. I was “forced” into making them because I am working my way through the pantry. Peanut butter, flour, sugar, butter, nuts, chocolate chips, etc. It all got used! Yay me!

Luckily I had Bunco the following night so I was able to share with the ladies. They were a big hit and I got several requests to post the recipe. Interestingly I thought my husband would’ve eaten them all before I was able to package them up because he adores peanut butter. Although he thought they were “great” I quote him saying “they didn’t knock my socks off”. “What do you mean?!” I asked and he immediately clarified saying that he really liked them, they just didn’t fall into his top 3 favorite dessert recipes I make. Whatever. I loved them and I’ll make them again and eat them all. So there.

I followed the directions exactly for this one. I did, however, end up with less cookies- 13 sandwiches instead of the 18 stated in the original recipe. I used a heaping tablespoon and baked them 15 to 16 minutes (a little over) what the recipe called for since they were thicker. I ALWAYS end up with less cookies than what is stated in recipes so I guess I just have a heavy hand with the spoon, but they turned out fabulous nonetheless.

If you feel like a splurge or need to bring dessert to a party, these are a super fun, super tasty cookies! Enjoy!

Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookie
Serves: 13-18 (2½ inch) sandwich cookies
For the cookies:
  • 1½ cups (6 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup (2 ounces) cake flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon table salt
  • ¾ cup (6 ounces) unsalted butter, completely softened at room temperature
  • ¾ cup smooth peanut butter
  • ½ cup suger
  • ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
For the filling:
  • 1½ cup confectioners' sugar
  • 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter, soften at room temperature
  • ¾ cup smooth peanut butter
  • 3 Tablespoons heavy cream
  • ¼ cup coarsely chopped roasted unsalted peanuts
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips or coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate
For the cookies:
  1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, sift together the two flours, baking soda and salt.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer using the paddle attachment, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg, continue creaming until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Add in the flour mixture slowly just until it's incorporated; don't over-mix or the cookies will be tough. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter, spaced 2 inches apart onto the lined baking sheets. Using your fingers, flatter each cookie into a 2 inch round. Bake ~12-15 minutes or until puffed and golden, rotating the sheets if needed for even baking. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool.
For the filling:
  1. In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, butter, and peanut butter and cream until smooth. Add the heavy cream and continue creaming until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Stir in the chopped peanuts and chocolate.
To assemble: flip half of cookies over and using a offset spatula, spread some of the filling over them (~2 teaspoons). Top with another cookie and press down lightly. Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to a few days.
You can make these ahead of time. They hold up extremely well and will not get soggy even with filling. For best results, use a smooth "processed" peanut butter such as Skippy Natural to get the right texture.

    Haha! These look awesome. It’s funny–now that summer is approaching I am eating more fatty stuff than ever. What’s up with that?! :)

    • Melanie Flinn, MS, RD says

      Seriously! That is not supposed to happen. :) I think in my case I’ve upped the exercise and then as a result get so hungry and crave fatty stuff. Oh well I try not to bake too frequently! and everything in moderation, right? That is why I bake and bring the treats to parties!

  2. says

    These are too awesome, Melanie! Any cookie with oatmeal (but not raisins) is my favorite. I have a go-to oatmeal cookie recipe that is probably my favorite. But I also love snickerdoodles and no-bake cookies. This is a great recipe!

View Full Version : MSI's 680i has the XFI included!!

11-20-06, 05:21 PM
Don't know if it's integrated or an add-in but it still loox cool!! From the INQ: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/newsrelease/news_page.php?UID=503

11-20-06, 05:33 PM
Impressive if true.

11-20-06, 05:39 PM
Thanks for the link. Here is the blurb on the X-Fi. I can't tell from reading the product sheet how they're handling it.

The Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio which is the best hardware 7.1 surround audio for all motherboards, gives users great audio experience on BlueRay DVD video and extreme 3D gaming. It's currently the best solution for home theater and for extreme gaming purposes. Besides the great performance and spec, MSI includes the eSATA solution with power on instant backup technology that enables end users to backup their system drive easily and give them more data protection! The P6N Diamond is totally prepared for great gamers, family server or workstation and home media center. Experience the best 3D gaming and surround audio quality only with P6N Diamond ! Coming soon!

The especially built-in 4 PCI-E x16 slot design with x8 or x16 bandwidth is great for gamers. The Quad SLI and other special cards for upgrade are by far the best design for this great 680i chipset specification.
In their pic, I only see 2 slots.

11-20-06, 06:22 PM
Yea, only 2 PCIe 16x slots.

11-20-06, 06:25 PM
Obviously PR used the wrong pic for the board... I mean the 680's have more than 34 PCI-E lanes assumed with that pic.

11-20-06, 09:31 PM
It's the nForce 650i not 680i, as such it's 2x 8x PCI-Ex slots. The dimond will be the 680i and will have 3 PCI 2x slots 2x 16x + 1x 8x. Hence the jumper card in the middle.

11-20-06, 09:45 PM
that's amazing, can't wait to see the actual board and OC result out of it. And hope it doesn't have a 300+ price tag.

11-20-06, 10:21 PM
I thought MSI might do something like this.

11-20-06, 11:23 PM
Is teh Xi-Fi really a Xi-Fi ...? I mean there was a low end version based..on not the Xi-Fi? if you know what I mean?

11-20-06, 11:47 PM
Actually yes, there may now be a "low end" X-Fi at the low end of the "eXtreme" line.
Beware, it is like what they did with they AudigySE. It is a cut down version.
See this thread:

11-20-06, 11:50 PM
Actually yes, there is now a "low end" X-Fi at the low end of the "eXtreme" line.
Beware, it is like what they did with they AudigySE. It is a cut down version.

So this one MSI is bundling with is a normal Xi-Fi or...the erm low end one? Anyone have any ideas? Might be part of my new rig...when I get round to it

11-20-06, 11:56 PM
I can't imagine that there would be a motherboard solution that is the full blown X-Fi already. The add-in cards have not been around that long, and motherboard solutions lag behind a bit usually. But heh, I have not actually seen one.

11-21-06, 12:11 PM
Low end off course. Still better then any intergrated sound card out there by miles. But to me it's a put off sure you get EAX 5.0 but no dolby live :(

11-21-06, 02:04 PM
I just bought the lowend version and it doesn't have Xram, Front end/box connectors or Firewire. Basically it is the same as the other extreme gamer without all the crap I never used. Here is a pic:http://www.soundblaster.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=208&product=15853

Sounds awesome especially during music playback{love the EQ}. It lets you select XFI hardware in all the games that support it. Doesn't come with the bloated price either{still payed a cool $100 for it though:( }

11-21-06, 02:15 PM
In reply to the Guru3d thread:
This card has the exact functions of the other extreme gamer and takes the real drivers so this isn't a software solution. The card is cut down for price and also to fit sff pc's. other than that it is the same as the first run of xfi extreme gamer cards. I got a boost in FPS by about 5% over my Audigy 2.

11-21-06, 02:26 PM
This is a little off topic but from what i've gathered thus far is that the Xtreme audio version is software accelerated while the gamer is hardware. The solution going into MSI's boards are probably going to be the software solution.

11-21-06, 02:33 PM
Further observations: if you go here you can see a comparison list of what each card supports {Click on features}:
http://dmzweb4.europe.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=350,E=0000000000171567940,K=360,Sxi=17,Kb=ww_e nglish_add,VARSET=ws:http://us.creative.com/,Case=obj(26156)#
The gamer card goes all the way to EAX 5.0, is hardware accelerated, and has 128 voices while the audio version does not. Just some clarification on my part. II'm glad I bought the card!!!:captnkill:

Default Re: Best air cooling?

Different testbeds. You have no idea what kind of airflow was in the case in that review you found. A better way to tell if there's a major difference is to take a group of coolers from the same testbed like that review I posted earlier. The Freezer 7 Pro is in the same class of coolers as the Big Typhoon, Ninja, etc.. and they all fall behind the Tuniq anywhere from 7-9C, which is exactly what I've experienced as well.

I used to own a Freezer 64, which is very similar to the Freezer 7 if not identical, and it could barely keep my X2 4400+ under 65C Prime load and that processor ran very cool.

Here's someone I found who got a 5C drop going from a Freezer 64 to a Tuniq:

There's just no comparison; it's way out in front. The Tuniq has over twice the amount of fins on it that normal HSF's usually have. The only air cooler that can really come close to it is the Zalman 9700.

And you need to measure your load temps w/ a program like Prime, not just games. That'll tell you how effective a cooler really is. If you don't plan on overclocking, though, then I guess that part doesn't matter as much. Stick with what you have, because it's sufficient.

Quite interesting thoughts.. my two cents,

1. valve has a history with problems in the Half-Life engine, so yeah you could doubt them a bit, but after seeing what they've managed to do with the physics side of HL2 I'm willing to wait and see irregardless of performance. They very well might have decided to avoid new dets for compatibility rather than forcing use of newer, or it could have been they didn't like performance :P

2. yeah nVidia kicks ass.. and yeah it worries me that Andy hasn't been around. One of the best things going for nVidia's support of linux was more than code.. it was support, and I hope to see that continued. Seeing the driver versions change doesn't worry me tho, note that the changes being made to the windows drivers (changelog) aren't huge, and really not too big a deal for the linux end to follow so far.

3. ID engines run openGL better than others because of code. Carmack's theory of design is as simple as it gets, but fast because of it. In contrast, M$ never coded something simple in their lives with all the manpower they have, and of course its slow because of it. Weird eh?

Default Re: Problems with audio over HDMI on Apple TV

Another test further confirms that by default the SiI 1390 chip embeds audio data in the HDMI stream, but when nvidia driver starts, it disables the audio data.

Previously I was not able to switch between the nvidia driver and the nv driver without rebooting. Version 180.51 of the nvidia driver did something to the video configuration that the nv driver could not undo. However I got an older version of the nvidia driver (96.43.09) and now I am able to switch back and forth. Version 96.43.09 is a legacy nvidia driver updated with work with new Linux kernals. Here's the test:

- Configure X for nv driver and boot. No audio over RCA. HMDI audio works after X starts
- Restart X with nvidia driver. As soon as nVidia logo appears, TV starts playing audio over RCA. HDMI audio stops working.
- Stop X. TV still playing audio over RCA
- Reload alsa (alsa reload) and then examine /proc/asound/card0/codec#1, it has returned to the "good" state (Digital: Enabled, etc). Audio still coming over RCA
- Restart X with nv driver. Audio still playing over RCA. HDMI audio does not work.

I was surprised the nvidia driver 96.43.09 disabled HDMI audio. I thought HDMI audio would work with older nvidia drivers. I am not able to run version 100.14.19 on my kernal (Ubuntu 8.10 - kernel 2.6.27-11-generic). So I cannot confirm HDMI audio works with 100.14.19 as other people have observed.

Once again it comes down to the SiI 1390 chip. I either need to prevent nvidia from messing with the 1390 or restore the 1390 to it's default state after the nvidia driver starts.

There's a whole class of undocumented nvidia settings (ex: Option "RegistryDwords" "RMDisableRenderToSysmem=1") that could hold a key to doing this. I would love to find a source of information on these settings.

Barrow AFC suffer more humiliation at Mansfield

BARROW AFC plunged further into the relegation mire by capitulating to an 8-1 defeat at promotion contenders Mansfield Town.

IN suffering a sickening eight-goal dose of deja vu hapless Barrow AFC saw their mini-league revival come to a shuddering halt at the home of their tormentors-in-chief Mansfield Town.

The Bluebirds were striving to bury the demons of their 7-0 mauling at Field Mill almost 12 months ago, following morale-boosting successes over Mansfield’s promotion rivals Newport and Luton Town.

But they fell desperately short of securing another unlikely win as Matt Green’s hat-trick, including two converted penalties, boosted the Stags to a galling 8-1 win, with recalled Bluebirds striker Danny L Rowe netting a first-half consolation from the spot.

The abject nature of the defeat was perfectly summed up by Bluebirds boss Dave Bayliss, who said: “I’m devastated and gutted, but we’ve taken six points out of nine from our last three games.

“There are no positives from Saturday’s performance – the only positive I’ve got from coming here is that we haven’t got to come back.”

Bayliss was brutally honest in his post-match assessment by repeatedly admitting it was like watching ‘men against boys’ and that his players had been bullied and second best “from one to 11”.

He also branded this mismatch as ‘the haves versus the have-nots’ as he was once again unable to select a full quota of substitutes, while Mansfield could call upon a largely stellar and bloated cast of quality Conference operators.

The fact Mansfield chairman John Radford gave his Aston Martin car to jubilant Stags manager Paul Cox after the match to serve as a little sweetener merely emphasised the point, albeit in a far cruder sense.

On the pitch, Barrow just couldn’t live with Mansfield’s vastly superior pace, power and all-round athleticism.

The Bluebirds’ leaky defence opened up like the Red Sea on occasions and they struggled to cope with the dynamic attributes showcased by the likes of attacking trio Lee Stevenson, Green and Colin Daniel.

But in their defence, they were left completely exposed at times as Barrow were hopelessly over-run in the centre of park, which engineered huge areas of space for the hosts to utilise and left wing duo Danny Rowe and Paul Rutherford largely redundant.

To add salt to the wounds, Bayliss also disputed the decisions by Braintree referee Robert Whitton to award Mansfield’s two ‘soft’ penalties.

Bayliss’s painfully threadbare squad was further weakened as goalscoring midfielder Richie Baker was suspended, while centre-back Sean Hessey was forced to withdraw through illness.

Meanwhile, Shaun Pearson continued to deputise for Barrow’s injured number one goalkeeper Danny Hurst (shoulder).

With Hessey confined to his sick bed Bayliss handed a full debut to 21-year-old centre-back Tom Eckersley who arrived on a month’s loan from Accrington on Friday. Fellow youngster and new defender Sam Hibbert settled for a place on the bench. There was no hiding place for Eckersley in the early stages as the home side came flying out of the traps with Pearson doing well to tip over John Dempster’s powerful second-minute header.

Green headed Daniel’s cross wide before the Stags began the rout on eight minutes through Stevenson’s stunning 25-yard strike which flew into top corner, after the forward collected Green’s flick-on.

Eckersley showed a few signs of potential, including his goal-saving challenge which prevented Green from pulling the trigger on 13 minutes.

After being bombarded with pressure in the early stages Barrow held their nerve, clawed their way back into contention and duly hit back on 17 minutes.

Danny L Rowe attempted to side-step his marker and shoot in Mansfield’s box but he was cynically denied a goalscoring opportunity by Dempster’s tug. Whitton pointed to the spot and Rowe rifled his penalty just beyond Stags goalkeeper Andy Marriott.

Suddenly, the Bluebirds fancied the job as Marriott kept out Adam Boyes’s angled drive with his legs, before Rowe blazed over.

Their bubble was soon burst though, because on 23 minutes, Barrow right-back Matt Flynn, in trying to meet a delivery, was adjudged to have climbed on and man-handled Mansfield defender Luke Jones in the visitors’ area.

It seemed a harsh decision as Flynn appeared to make a genuine attempt to win the ball. Green stepped up to confidently despatch the spot kick into the bottom corner.

The goal took the stuffing out of Barrow although Danny L Rowe and Rutherford spurned half chances before Daniel made it 3-1 on the half-hour mark after latching on to Adam Murray’s ball-over-the-top.

The former Crewe winger raced in between Flynn and Bluebirds skipper Mike Pearson before guiding his shot into the bottom corner.

More Barrow misery followed just two minutes later when Green received Stevenson’s intelligent inside pass and skilfully lofted the ball over the advancing keeper Pearson and into the net.

Mansfield kept on coming as Pearson produced a fine save to palm over Louis Briscoe’s rasping 25-yard effort, before Murray’s effort was blocked on the Barrow line.

However, Pearson looked far less assured in the build-up to Murray bulging the net from close-range, following Jennings’s 42nd-minute corner, which preceded Marriott keeping out Danny L Rowe’s 10-yard shot in first-half stoppage time.

After going into the break trailing 5-1 it was no wonder that Mansfield’s stadium public address announcer asked the crowd to give Barrow’s players a warm welcome back to pitch before the start of the second period.

The Field Mill faithful duly did, and later they applauded the Bluebirds’ 82 die-hard travelling fans who reciprocated the good-natured banter.

Green claimed his treble from the spot on 52 minutes after Mike Pearson was deemed to have fouled penalty winner extraordinaire Jones in the area following another coming together of bodies.

And, once again, Green displayed supreme confidence to slam his spot-kick into the top corner.

More clinical finishing resulted in a sixth goal as Stevenson secured a brace by receiving Matt Rhead’s pass before firing the ball past Pearson from just inside the area.

A defensive mix-up allowed impressive Stags midfielder Anthony Howell to guide his header over a stationary and helpless and over-worked Pearson on 70 minutes.

Additional chances came and went at both ends but mercifully the scoring stopped there, with Mansfield going on to record their joint-biggest home win in their 116-year history.

In contrast, the Bluebirds will want to erase this latest humiliation from the memory banks and while Bayliss refused to offer excuses he expressed his dissatisfaction at Whitton’s performance.

“I thought the referee was terrible – he was really poor,” said Bayliss ahead of tomorrow’s Blue Square Bet Premier clash at Southport.

“They were soft pens, they were never penalties. If he is giving pens for that then we should have had two.

“But the referee hasn’t scored their goals and we’ve been beaten by a better side. So we’ve got to draw a line, move on and go to Southport tomorrow night.”

Woking fan arrested following Barrow AFC tie

A WOKING fan was arrested following his team’s two nil defeat on Tuesday.

Police were called to the Travelodge in Walney Road, Barrow, at around 12.30am on Wednesday.

Staff had reported a Woking fan, staying at the hotel following the club’s tie with Barrow AFC, acting abusively.

A 32-year-old Surrey man is being questioned on suspicion of criminal damage and disorderly behaviour.

Ice Age: NYC's Frozen-Dessert Revolution

by Jonathan Zeller, 05/30/2012

2 of 10

  • Culture: An American Yogurt Company
    331 Fifth Ave., 718-499-0207, Park Slope, Brooklyn
    Dekalb Market, 138 Willoughby St., Downtown Brooklyn
    Tart, Greek-style frozen yogurt might not exactly qualify as new—perhaps you've heard of Pinkberry—but this cozy joint serves the stuff its own way, doing just about everything on-site. Fresh, hormone-free (and, depending on the flavor, organic) milk is pasteurized, incubated and strained. The staff adds homemade toppings like key lime pie, oatmeal cookies and "Vermont maple" (made with pecans, vanilla beans and cinnamon) at the bottom and top of cups, eliminating the need for eaters to employ crafty strategies to make them last. The plain flavor has more than enough kick, but there's also a rotating cast of other varieties like blueberry pie and coffee (made with Stumptown, a brand beloved by java snobs). Jenny Ammirati—who used to work in finance—and her husband, Gino, started the place after realizing, in the midst of a big Greek yogurt–eating phase, "we can probably make this." The idea to freeze it came later, but they also do sell the fresh kind, which may be a boon to business when winter comes.

"you should never laser smize. never."

If you've ever watched Kell On Earth, read If You Have To Cry, Go Outside, or even caught her in action during Fashion Week, the message is loud and clear: you don't want to mess with Kelly Cutrone. Now the PR maven is taking on the modeling industry as a judge on the new season of America's Next Top Model, where she'll have to deal with a new set of problems like smizing, cat fights, and bad runway walks. Yesterday Cutrone sat down with Web Editor Liza Darwin at the Soho Grand, where they talked about the show and played a round of our new favorite game, WWKCD: What Would Kelly Cutrone Do?

Top Model is on, what, its 18th cycle? Did you watch the show before they asked you to be on it?
I don't watch a lot of TV, but my daughter does so I watch it with Ava sometimes. When I got the job I called in all the episodes and watched some of them as a refresher. I watched the last cycle with Andre [Leon Talley] after we had stopped shooting, and I would watch it while I was working out on the elliptical.

Are you the kind of person that believes that models are born or made?
I think it's a combination. There's always exception to the rule, but for the most part for runway you need to be a good 5'9'/ 5'10. You can work on being photogenic but on some level you have to be able to take a good picture and like your picture being taken. There are a lot of people who make horrible models and then there are a lot of people who don't look physically pretty with the naked eye, who look stunning on film.

There are people who I see, like models, when they walk in the room and you're going "Who let this chick in, what are you doing here?" and then all the sudden you put the camera on and this girl is like ‘bam!' The camera loves her and she loves the camera and she's going to give it to you.

It's that "It" factor.
Yeah, it's a combination of things. And the really successful models can channel everything- their looks, personality, whatever, and shine a light on all of their outlets. You have to allow people to grow, but they have to want it badly in the first place.

That's why it's annoying when the girls on Top Model cry when the stylists try to change their hair.
Those are the girls who will never be able to be a model. I was actually just talking about the Jeremy Scott show and we were talking about how boys are asked to wear a fake fur jacket or ombre hair. If you don't want to do that then you shouldn't be there, because nobody wants to hear your opinion. You're there to be a model.

Let's talk about smizing. Do you think the smize is ruining the modeling industry?
[laughing] I actually didn't even know what smizing was until I got on the show! Tyra also taught me a new one, "HTT." It means head to guys should start using that one. But I actually haven't seen too much smizing recently. I think the evil smize is ruining the industry, like those girls you put in intense leather and they feel the need to turn into robo cop killers with their eyes being all creepy! You should never laser smize. Never.

What's something you've learned about yourself from being on reality TV? I think one the things I was most surprised about is this hatred of women who are powerful. At the beginning it was kind of a harsh thing to learn. But then I became delighted, I was like "I'm going to own this!' It's freeing in a way.

Can we play a game? I want to know what you would do in these situations. Sure! What would Kelly Cutrone Do? Let's call it WWKCD. Fire away.

Someone sits in the front row who clearly doesn't belong...
The front row I have sorted by affiliation and by last name, and most of the time I know who everyone is. I ask the person their name and tell them that they need to move. If they don't I bring security, and then they move [laughing].

Someone starts a fight with you via Twitter....
Sometimes you let it go and sometimes you make it an example. For instance, an ex-employee of mine tried to fight with me on Twitter, and that's one instance when I wrote back because she questioned my integrity.

People's Revolution is asked to rep a brand you don't believe in....These are the criteria for me repping someone: I love it personally, I feel that we have something to offer the brand, or I feel that if the brand were to go somewhere else, they would be taken advantage of.

America's Next Top Model: British Invasion premieres tonight at 9 pm EST on The CW.

NYSUT presses Senate, governor to support 'pause' on test penalties

Source: NYSUT Media Relations
moratorium ad
Caption: NYSUT's web ad campaign showcases students speaking from the heart about the difference a teacher makes in their lives.

ALBANY, N.Y. June 11, 2014 - "A teacher is more than a test score… Tell lawmakers to evaluate that."

This message summarizes a new multi-media campaign launched today by New York State United Teachers to emphasize the need for a moratorium for teachers on high-stakes consequences from state standardized tests stemming from the problem-plagued implementation of the Common Core Learning Standards.

A video shows students speaking from the heart about the difference a teacher makes in their lives, particularly in ways that can't be quantified through a paper-and-pencil test: .

In the wake of the state's flawed roll-out of new standardized tests based on Common Core standards, legislators and the governor agreed as part of the state budget that students would not be penalized by the unproven tests.

The Assembly recently passed a bill that would extend that common-sense remedy to educators.

"Now the Senate and the governor must follow through so that New York state can hit the 'pause button' to forestall misuse of these test scores against teachers," said NYSUT President Karen E. Magee. "Parents and teachers agree that it's basic common sense to be sure new curriculum and tests work before making them count."

Magee noted that the tests are still a big unknown, with a state gag order in place that prevents educators from analyzing, discussing or reviewing test questions, and with uneven implementation of new Common Core curriculum.

"If the tests shouldn't be used to penalize kids - and they shouldn't be - it's only fair to extend that to teachers," Magee said.

NYSUT has consistently made the point that, even with a moratorium, teachers will continue to be evaluated; what's at issue is the imposition of penalties based on the problematic standardized tests.

NYSUT Executive Vice President Andrew Pallotta said, "There is widespread support among parents, educators and legislators for taking a breather to get this right - and time is of the essence. We are asking lawmakers to follow through on their commitment to a common-sense remedy to the high-pressure, high-stakes environment that harms students and educators."

The union also has gone to court to challenge the state for failing to fairly account for the impact of student poverty in assigning teachers' effectiveness ratings. Last week, NYSUT issued a statement supporting districts that were opting not to administer state field tests of prospective exam questions, saying this subjects children to yet another round of testing solely for the purpose of researching questions for Pearson. The union noted it would support SED in seeking funding to prevent these onerous rounds of field tests.

The initial buy for the web-based portion of the new campaign is approximately $200,000.

New York State United Teachers is a statewide union with more than 600,000 members in education, human services and health care. NYSUT is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association and the AFL-CIO.

The midtown hotel suite where Jackie Gleason lived in the 1950's while creating ''The Honeymooners'' for television was named yesterday for the comedian who charmed millions of viewers as Ralph Kramden, the blustering, sashaying bus driver-dreamer from Brooklyn.

And the head of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced plans yesterday to rename a Transit Authority bus depot in Brooklyn after Mr. Gleason, who died at home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Wednesday at the age of 71.

A private funeral was scheduled for today. Yesterday, hundreds of people visited a funeral home in North Miami to pay last respects to the television pioneer, who also made 15 films, appeared on Broadway and composed and conducted portfolios of mellow, romantic music.

As tributes to ''the Great One'' continued, the Omni Park Central Hotel, on Seventh Avenue at 56th Street, dedicated ''The Jackie Gleason Suite'' after the man who used it from 1953 to 1957, the heady years of ''The Honeymooners,'' when the hotel was known as the Park Central. 'Generous' and 'a Lot of Fun'

Brenda Fields, director of marketing for the Omni Corporation, said many housekeepers and bellhops from those days recalled the occupant of the seven-room, 23d floor suite, which has a terrace and a sweeping view of the Manhattan skyline.

''They remember him as generous and a lot of fun,'' Ms. Fields said of the employees who saw him come and go to work at what is now the Ed Sullivan Theater on Broadway near 50th Street, where most episodes of ''The Honeymooners'' were televised.

Meanwhile, Robert R. Kiley, chairman of the M.T.A., said the Gleason family would be asked to participate this summer in renaming the Fifth Avenue Bus Depot, on Fifth Avenue between 36th and 39th Streets in the Sunset Park section, after the Brooklyn-born entertainer.

An M.T.A. spokesman, John Cunningham, said that the hundreds of buses that use the depot probably would get new logo decals.

The decal under consideration, he said, is a picture of Ralph Kramden leaning out the window of his bus, cap tilted back on the head, a big grin lighting his jovial, sentimental face.

Sotheby's presale estimate on the Manet from 1880 is between $10 million and $14 million - well above the $3.96 million Mr. Bond paid for it in 1983 at Christie's New York at a sale of paintings owned by the financier Paul Mellon.

Mrs. Brooks, who is a former banker at Citibank, negotiated the loan on ''Irises.'' Neither she nor Mr. Cross would disclose the interest charged on the loan to Mr. Bond. Mrs. Brooks said Sotheby's aims at 3 percentage points above the prime rate, but will sometimes charge lower or higher rates.

Mrs. Brooks and Mr. Cross disagreed on who initiated the financing talks. Mr. Cross, who went to work for Mr. Bond in May 1988, said he understood Sotheby's had suggested it. Mrs. Brooks said Mr. Bond's agent went to Sotheby's in New York two or three days before the sale ''to discuss the availability of credit terms.''

The first negotiations were conducted by Mr. Bond's representative, Neville Keating, a London dealer, who declined comment on these talks. Mrs. Brooks said he went to Sotheby's and met with David J. Nash, head of fine art sales, and asked what financing would be available. Doing Business by Fax

Mr. Bond's agents handled all the presale discussions and signed an agreement in which, Mrs. Brooks said, Sotheby's stated the maximum amount it would finance. Mrs. Brooks said her first contact with Mr. Bond about the loan was a fax he sent several days after the sale, confirming the terms he had accepted. Two or three weeks after the sale, Mrs. Brooks flew to London and negotiated the actual loan. ''We reached agreement in principle,'' she said. The loan was signed later, on Dec. 7, 1987.

Mrs. Brooks said the seller of ''Irises,'' John Whitney Payson, had agreed to allow Sotheby's to offer financing under the condition that ''Sotheby's was willing to take the credit risk on whoever was involved.'' Mr. Payson was to be paid in full over six months, whether the buyer paid or not. All payments were made on time, Mr. Payson said: half was paid in December 1987 and the rest by May 1988.

Last December, Mr. Zuckerman said, after the loan was renegotiated for another year, Mr. Bond finally took possession of ''Irises.'' Then, three days before Christmas, he called a press conference in his penthouse office in Perth where the painting hung, to announce he was the mystery buyer.

The yearlong delay, Mr. Cross said, was because Mr. Bond's new office was under construction until then. ''Now it's a fortress on the top of the building,'' he said.

''Irises'' remained in Mr. Bond's office from last December through June, when it traveled to museums in five Australian cities. In mid-September, Sotheby's placed the painting in storage. Differences Over Access

''We have unlimited access to it,'' Mr. Cross said. ''But we cannot move it without Sotheby's consent.'' He cited security problems at Mr. Bond's office as the reason why the painting was put into storage.

''Unlimited goes too far,'' Mr. Zuckerman said. ''They have the right to inspect the painting. If they wanted to change the location of the painting our consent would be required.''

Financing of art purchases, a phenomenon of the 1980's, is not done by major banks.

''We lend against art that collectors already own,'' said Kevin V. Buchanan, a Citibank vice president in its Art Advisory Sevice. ''If they have already bought an artwork, we will give a loan on it as collateral. But we will not give a 'mortgage' on artworks that they wish to buy.'' Chase Manhattan makes similar loans.

Christie's, the London-based auction house and Sotheby's major rival, says it does not make loans to buyers, but assists clients who wish to seek financing elsewhere. In addition, the availability of financing arranged through a seller is announced for the first time in a Christie's catalogue for the Nov. 7 sale of contemporary art from the Robert B. Mayer collection. Extended Terms at Christie's

Christopher Burge, the president of Christie's in the United States, said the largest Christie's sale on which there was extended terms was Monet's ''Seashore at Trouville,'' which was auctioned a year ago in New York for $10.78 million. In that sale the consignor agreed to delayed payment of ''less than 90 days,'' Mr. Burge said.

Christopher M. Davidge, the managing director of Christie's International, said Christie's viewed its role as an agent, not as a banker. ''Some time ago we suggested to the Office of Fair Trading in London and the Department of Consumer Affairs in New York that they should look into this matter of financing,'' he said. ''Neither seemed very interested and we were somewhat surprised.''

''We have reviewed the selling of 'Irises' to Mr. Bond by Sotheby's and find no violations of the auction house rules and regulations,'' said Gary Walker, the public affairs director of the Consumer Affairs Department.

Mrs. Brooks said she has arranged financing for clients since shortly after she joined Sotheby's in 1979. In 1988, Sotheby's broadened its financing of art purchases in a formal program, operated by Sotheby's Financial Services.

Mrs. Brooks said that one other potential bidder on ''Irises'' asked in advance of the sale for financing. ''But he never got into the bidding,'' she said.

Asked whether Sotheby's has attempted to sell ''Irises'' since Mr. Bond bought it, Mrs. Brooks said: ''We have been approached by dealers, lawyers, bankers and others asking if 'Irises' is for sale. Technically it is not for sale. If they are interested in making an offer, we tell them we will put them in touch with Mr. Bond's representatives.''

HARTFORD, Feb. 1— Diana Taurasi, Connecticut's all-American guard, is expected to play against top-ranked Tennessee on Thursday despite injuring her back Saturday.

Team officials said Sunday that Taurasi planned to play. She was hit in the back after blocking a shot early in the fourth-ranked Huskies' 82-49 victory over St. John's on Saturday. Coach Geno Auriemma sat Taurasi out for the rest of the game as a precaution.

Taurasi said after the game that she felt fine.

''I'm feeling all right -- a little minor injury,'' she said.

Taurasi, last season's player of the year, leads the Huskies with 17.4 points and 4.4 assists a game.

Hail, Hero! ()

Read the New York Times Review »

  • Directed by: David Miller
  • Rating: PG (Questionable for Children)

Review Summary

Hail, Hero! stars Michael Douglas in his screen debut as long-haired college student Carl Dixon. Reversing the usual procedure in late-1960s films, Dixon decides to quit school and enlist in the Army, even though he's already run afoul of the law as a Vietnam protestor. It is our hero's intention to use love, rather than bullets, to combat the Viet Cong. Needless to say, his idealism is no match for the harsher realities of war, but this doesn't stop him from endlessly spouting the sort of agit-prop rhetoric so beloved of filmmakers of the era. In addition to Michael Douglas, co-star Peter Strauss likewise makes his first film appearance in Hail, Hero! Dated in the extreme, the film is saved by the musical score by Gordon Lightfoot. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

All international students and scholars are required to report to the U.S. tax service (known as the Internal Revenue Service) each year — even if they did not work during the prior year. You will not necessarily need to pay taxes; but you must at least report your presence in the U.S. This is a legal requirement.

Although OGS staff cannot advise on tax issues, we hope to give you basic information here as a helpful starting point.

Do I have to file?

If you first arrived in the U.S. on or after January 1, 2015 and if you were not present in the U.S. at all during 2014, you currently have no tax filing obligations — but you will need to file next year, so check back then on what to do.

If you were present in the U.S. for even one day during 2014 you have tax filing obligations. Keep reading for when, what and how to file.

When to file

The earliest we recommend you file your taxes is February 1 as the government updates their forms each year and these new forms are only ready in late January. The tax filing deadline to file is April 15. If you are unable to file your forms by that due date, you must submit an Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File Your Tax Return Form 4868 to the Internal Revenue Service.

What and how to file

Step 1: Gather the following documents and information as references you may need.

(Note: You may not have or need some of these; this is a list of all the documents you might need.)

  • Passport, Visa, I-94 record
  • Your Exit and Entry Dates for all past U.S. visits
  • Your I-20, DS-2019, or other immigration documents
  • Social Security number (if you do not have a Social Security number, you will need an Individual Tax Identification Number, which can be obtained through GLACIER Tax Prep; see step 2)
  • Current U.S. Address AND Permanent Foreign Address
  • Name of Educational Institution or Sponsoring Organization
  • Form(s) W-2, 1042-S, 1099
  • Scholarship or Fellowship grant letters (if no related Form 1042-S)
  • Copy of past year’s tax forms (if you had any)

Step 2: Use GLACIER Tax Prep (GTP) to file your federal tax return and/or forms.

NYU has purchased GTP software to help you fulfill your tax obligations. GTP will ask you a series of questions and will use your answers to fill in all necessary U.S. government tax forms for you. It will also inform you of any tax treaty benefits that may apply to you.

1. Access the GTP log in page with your NYU net ID and password. If your NYU Net ID is not active, first visit If you are still having difficulty activating your account, then contact

Click here to access glacier tax prep

2. Log into GTP. If you have a GLACIER account through NYU OR you used GTP last year, be sure to use your same user name and password. If you have never used GTP and do not have a GLACIER account, create a new account.

3. Once logged in, answer the questions in GTP. Once submitted, GTP will determine your tax return filing requirements.

4. Print the forms GTP generates. Review, sign and mail them no later than April 15. Note: non-resident taxes cannot be submitted electronically; GTP will tell you the mailing address to use.

5. If GTP determines that you are a resident for U.S. tax purposes, it will not generate your tax forms. You should file resident tax returns — the same thing U.S. citizens do. Resources for this include:

Step 3: Confirm whether you had U.S. income during 2014 —

GTP will have helped you figure this out. Note that U.S. income includes earned wages, as well as some non-NYU scholarships, stipends, prizes, awards, winnings, etc.

  • If you had no U.S. income during 2014 you are not required to file a state tax return. Send in your signed federal forms and you will be done for the year!

Step 4: If you had U.S. income during 2014, you also must file a state tax return.

Note: State taxes may have different residency guidelines then U.S. taxes. You can use Sprintax to file your state taxes at a discounted rate. See the information at right under "outside vendors for expert guidance" for more information.

1. New York State and City Taxes:

a. You must file a NY Tax Return if:

  • You were a NY resident and you filed a U.S. tax form (other than Form 8843) for 2014; or
  • You had NY income greater than $4,000 in 2014; or
  • You want a refund of NY State or City taxes withheld from your paycheck in excess of what you actually owed.

b. First, determine if you were New York resident for tax purposes:

  • Each individual must confirm their own NY tax status, but, in general, if you lived and/or worked in New York:
    • full-time undergraduate and graduate international students are considered nonresidents of NY state and city for tax purposes
    • other international visitors, including part-time students, J1 international professors and scholars, and individuals in H4 status are considered NY residents for state and city tax purposes if they both
      1) had a place to stay in NY for at least 11 months; and
      2) were physically in NY for at least 6 months of the year.
      Review NY state’s definition of
      tax residency to determine your NY tax filing status.

2. New Jersey State Taxes:

  • Each individual must confirm their own NJ tax status, but, in general, if you lived and/or worked in New Jersey:
    • international students, professors and scholars are considered nonresidents for NJ state tax purposes unless they had a “permanent home” in NJ.
  • the NJ state’s definition of tax residency to determine your NJ state tax filing status.
  • Use the appropriate NJ tax form:
  • If you are unable to file your New Jersey tax forms by the due date, you must submit an Application for Extension of Time to File with the New Jersey Division of Taxation by the due date.

Good to Know:

Tax Treaties

The United States has over 50 tax treaties with different countries. The treaties vary in terms of the benefits they offer to students, the types of income covered, the total amount of the exemption, and the number of years you could claim the benefit. If you file your tax forms with a tax software, the software will automatically factor in any benefit offered through a tax treaty with your country.

For more information on tax treaties, including a list of the countries that the United States has tax treaties with, see IRS Publication 901, U.S. Tax Treaties. Note that tax treaties vary in their implications for state taxes.

Multicultural Alumni Committee

The Multicultural Alumni Committee promotes greater multicultural alumni participation in University affairs and multicultural community initiatives and works to enhance the active engagement of multicultural alumni as members of the NYU Alumni Association.  Furthermore, the Multicultural Committee seeks the assistance and support of diverse alumni in the major diversity departments and initiatives of NYU, including the Office of the Assistant Vice President for Student Diversity, The Center for Multicultural Education and Programs, Martin Luther King, Jr. Week, and the Multicultural Alumni Reception during Alumni Reunion Weekend.

The Multicultural Committee also identifies methods for fundraising that would increase the participation of multicultural alumni in university events and activities and can provide financial support for the multicultural students at NYU.

For more information about the Multicultural Alumni Committee and to find out about more ways to get involved, please visit the group's facebook page and also join the The Center for Multicultural Education and Programs alumni listserve.

Travel and Transportation

NYU's "campus" is New York City. Its heart is in Greenwich Village around Washington Square Park, but with institutes and centers on the Upper East Side, academic buildings and dorms down on Wall Street, and NYU-Poly in downtown Brooklyn, getting from place to place at NYU requires a little assistance.

Luckily, there are a lot of options available to get around New York City. University Transportation services run between the Washington Square campus and NYU residence halls.

The MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) runs the subway, train and bus systems that will get you where you need to go.

If all else fails and you're in the Village, head over to Broadway to catch a cab downtown (yellow cabs only, please) or over to Sixth Avenue to catch one going uptown.
