Kure Beach, NC - “A sincere artist is not one who makes a faithful attempt to put on to canvas what is in front of him, but one who tries to create something which is, in itself, a living thing.” This quote by artist William Dobell expresses perfectly the work of art that muralist Scott Nurkin has created at the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher.

Kinect's future: A game controller in everything
Microsoft is spending half a billion dollars to make sure that when you hear the word Kinect you think "the future of video games."
But Microsoft believes that the real potential for the voice recognition, motion-based technology is how they plan to use it with cell phones, computers and perhaps in the military and health industries.
"Think about a world where machines understand what people want from them," said Kinect Creative Director Kudo Tsunoda. "You can see that extrapolate out to a host of other devices."

Spotlight: Judiciary up against formidable govt machinations: PPP content and happy with corruption and bad governance
Judiciary's relentless efforts to root out corruption are matched in equal measure by the PPP government's relentless efforts under President Zardari and Prime Minister Gilani to thwart its efforts to achieve results. Some of this (putting spanners in judiciary's works) can take one or more of the following forms:
1) Appoint to high offices in the anti-corruption departments, people who are themselves accused of serious crimes. Law Minister Babar Awan, Interior Minister Rehman Malik, Attorney General Latif Khosa are the high profile examples, which immediately come to mind.

`CARDINAL’ ERRORS
The Roman Catholic and the Anglican Churches are two Institutions with considerable followings in the Northern and Eastern Provinces which could, had they been so minded, have saved tens of thousands of lives and billions of rupees worth of property by rendering their unstinted support towards the restoration of peace in our land by:-
a) exhorting their flock to oppose or simply refuse to obey the orders of the LTTE and to give information to the Security Forces regarding the conduct, activities and the movements of the LTTE and its leaders; and,

It's time to think about holiday decorating
The holidays are fast approaching, which means it's time to start thinking about holiday decorating. If you could use some inspiration, check out Bachman's Holiday Ideas House, which will open Thursday. The historic Bachman's family home in Minneapolis will be all dressed up for the festive season.
Each room has a different decorating theme, including a porch with a winter theme of birch and other natural elements; a formal traditional dining room with vintage silver and poinsettia dinnerware; a New Year's Eve party theme in the living room; a Christmas cookie-making vignette in the kitchen, and a hockey-themed boy's bedroom.

Jill Clayburgh's characters flawed, vulnerable, feisty, smart were easy to connect with
There is a classic Jill Clayburgh scene in Paul Mazursky's "An Unmarried Woman," the 1978 film the actress will be remembered for most in a career that kept her busy with work nearly until her death on Friday. She's walking down a crowded New York City sidewalk having just learned her husband is leaving her for someone half her age, the fresh wound visible only in those eyes, a soft cornflower blue gone stone cold.
She stops to steady herself, throws up, shakes it off, then moves on. Clayburgh had a way of making moments like these so real she would break my heart. Her portrayal of the affluent, urban, urbane Erica would earn her an Oscar nomination.

'4th Grade Achievements' helps wind up film festival
Tensions flared in a hallway of Venable Elementary School, where the prime minister of Iceania faced off with a Paxland official over the ownership of a piece of her country before a United Nations mediator stepped in.
The takeover was part of an eight-week political science game developed by teacher John Hunter called the World Peace Game. In the fall of 2006, cameras entered Hunter’s former fourth-grade classroom at Venable to document a group of children working together and against each other to attain world peace where adults have not.

Leaf-Cutter Ants and Their Society
Biologists have been fascinated by leaf-cutter ants for years, due to the tremendously-complex society they developed, and the visible impact they have on their environment for their size.
Oftentimes, we overlook ants as small, insignificant creatures, but we could learn a thing or two from them, especially in terms of how to build a fair society, in which everything works like clockwork.

What Can We Do to Stop It Before It's Too Late?

As if the predictions of diabetes to come were not already grim enough, a new report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now predict that one in three American adults may have diabetes by 2050, with the number of diabetes patients projected to double or triple over the next 40 years. While the report blames the predicted increase primarily on an aging population, more members of high-risk minority groups, and longer survival in people who already have diabetes, my perspective on the cause of this epidemic is somewhat different.

The Jessie Livermore Stock Market
The legend and romance surrounding the famed stock plunger Jessie Livermore has long held a fascination among traders. Livermore has become somewhat of a cult in recent years and there are several books that purport to reveal his secrets for making a fortune in the stock market. None of them can hold a candle to the book which Livermore himself commissioned (written by journalist Edwin LeFevre) entitled Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.
This book is essentially an autobiographical account of Livermore’s trading career as told to LeFevre. It chronicles his meteoric career starting with his early days as a small time operator in “bucket shops” and culminating with his heyday as a big Wall Street mover and shaker. Market students have for years combed this book hoping to find the “hidden secret” to Mr. Livermore’s successful career as a speculator but their efforts have largely been in vain. Livermore left no abiding set of rules for consistently beating the stock market. In fact, he himself fell victim to Mr. Market as he won and lost a fortune on more than one occasion. His life and career came to an inglorious end when he killed himself in the cloakroom of a Manhattan hotel at the age of 63.
