'Nearly impossible' to find jihadists among migrants, Greeks warn
Both sides of the Syrian Refugee issue are throwing around part truths and false truths. There is no doubt that we can not vet these people with the same strength we can in the US of our people, but then look at Snowden and the others that have made it through our vetting. But the other side says that the refugees have been vetted, that they are on data bases, and such. Much of this is true, they are on UN data bases made from virtually no fact. The vetting is more questioning and re-questioning, which done by the right people on the right people can be very effective and informative. But our proper and legal views get in the way, and people often are not really asked about religious views in a way that could expose any problems. Our PC values make a lot of us nervous to even attempt to look into the mind of another persons religion and the anti religious movement would poo poo any view that would even give a high spiritual value to a belief system. With that we are all sort of doomed to miss critical things when vetting these individuals, that have a basically different cultural and religious value system than ours. But remember the reason that all this came up is that ISIS taunted us with the thought they had infiltrated the Syrian Refugees and since we know this is possible we have come to the point we are now. Caution is the best option, but the fervor on both sides have made this difficult. Do know this, the bad guys are really key on making us look bad and will pull out all the stops on having a vetted refugee attack Americans, things like grabbing family members still in Country to force the hand of a vetted individuals. Things like offering a family what would be considered a life time of tithing for committing an act of martyrdom, like they do families of other suicide bombers in the world. As always they only need to get one through to make their statement true. We must make a decision that is based on our values with out knowing their values. Staying in refugee camps based on their cultures and customs, is often preferable to the refugee's than the upheaval of our value systems, I know that is hard for us Americans to get our heads around, but it is true.

Two dead, one detained in Westchester shooting
June 22, 2012 | 7:43 am
A Westchester shooting that left two men dead and another in custody was being investigated Friday as a possible robbery or burglary, Los Angeles police said.
The shooting occurred in the 5700 block of West Centinela Avenue around 6 p.m. Thursday. One man was pronounced dead at the scene and another at a hospital.
Police detained a third man for questioning but no arrests have been made, said Officer Tenesha Dobine.
KTLA News reported intruders may have been trying to rob a resident at an apartment complex. They are currently looking for the possible victim, who was likely shot.
"There's a fourth person that we think is likely a shooting victim, and we cannot account for their whereabouts," Lt. John Ratke told the TV station.
"We're trying to determine everybody's role right now, and it's just very important that we find this person that was likely injured in the gunfire," he said.
According to the Times' Mapping L.A. database, the Westchester area has experienced 815 property crimes and 69 violent crimes in the last six months.

Black man makes his way to top of wine-making world – whnt.com
The New York sommelier's wines are shipped around the world
by: Ken Boddie and KOIN 6 News Staff
Posted: Jan 11, 2021 / 09:28 AM CST / Updated: Jan 20, 2021 / 10:44 AM CST
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Several African-Americans have made their way to the top of the wine-making world, including a New Yorker who has established perhaps the largest Black-owned wine brand in America. And his wines are made in Oregon.
André Hueston Mack of Maison Noir Wines is living his legacy: creating wines for the masses and leading the way for African-Americans in the wine industry.
"Everybody should enjoy wine. It's not reserved for just the elite," Mack said.
Maison Noir Wines have a different flavor, literally and figuratively. There's the "Knock on Wood Chardonnay," "Love Drunk" rosé, "Bottom's Up" white table wine and "Other People's Pinot Noir" to name just a few.
"I grew up on hip hop, skateboarding, punk rock and being able to put all those things — infuse them together — you know, makes it very enjoyable for me," said Mack.
Mack was raised in Trenton, New Jersey, and eventually made his way into the world of finance at Citicorp. But he wasn't satisfied.
"I became really immersed in wine and started studying and kind of worked very hard toward the title of being a sommelier," said Mack. He said his love of wine was originally ignited by the TV sitcom "Frasier" and the character's knowledge and appreciation of fine wine.

Mack became one of the top sommeliers in America, first at Chef Thomas Keller's world-famous French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley, then at Per Se in New York.
"And you know, just to have the audacity to quit one of the top five jobs in the world as a sommelier to say that I'm going to hop on the other side and start making wine — you know, a lot of people weren't doing that," said Mack.
-Especially African-Americans in a mostly white industry.
"I think people are used to it now and there's a lot more diversity," Mack said. "We have a long way to go but the industry's really opening up."
André Mack's New York state of wine extends all the way across the country. His wines are produced in Oregon's Willamette Valley — an area regarded as one of America's premier wine-making regions.
"Some of my favorite pinot noirs domestically came from the Willamette Valley in Oregon," said Mack.
Mouton Noir, or "Black Sheep" wines started in 2007. Now named Maison Noir, or "Black House," they are shipped to nearly every state and throughout the world and are especially popular in Sweden and Southeast Asia.
Mack's wines — and shrewd use of social media — have drawn the attention of sports teams and major corporations including Cadillac and Microsoft. He's an author and a self-taught graphic designer who started a streetwear company even before the debut of his wines. Mack owns a wine shop, a ham and charcuterie bar and a bakery — all near his home in Brooklyn.
Mack is focused on his current path.
"I'm just in a space where I want to build things and create stuff," he said.


The prices of vegetables and fish at the retail markets in Pettah had come down considerably from the high prices that prevailed during the last few weeks. Most low country vegetables were sold at prices around Rs.40 – 60 per kilogram at the Manning Market yesterday while the prices of fish at the St.John's market, Pettah had also reduced by about 30 percent it was observed yesterday.
The prices of red onions which was over Rs. 100 per kilogram during the previous weeks had come down to between Rs. 50 and 60 a kilogram.
Brinjals, batu, bandakka, pumpkin, radish, cucumber, bottle gourd, and almost all the low country vegetables except for drumsticks were sold at prices as low as Rs. 40 to 60 per kilogram yesterday at the Manning Market, Pettah.
Traders said since onions and other food crops were coming in freely from Jaffna, Dambulla and other producing areas. Prices have come down considerably.
Beet and leeks too were sold Rs. 40 to 60 a kilogram but carrots, capsicum and beans were much higher and were sold at Rs. 120 to 160 per kilogram.
The prices of all the varieties of fish had come down at St. John's fish market Pettah except for seer.
Nicholas, a trader at the fish market for the last 50 years said stocks of fish from Jaffna were coming to Colombo now and this has resulted in an average 30 percent decrease in the prices of all varieties of fish.
Crabs were sold at Rs.150 to 200 and shrimps at Rs. 280 to 300 per kilogram respectively at the fish market but most fish vendors buy stocks and sell them at higher prices and therefore most consumers do not get price reductions due to intermediary vendors.
A kilogram of Thalapath was Rs. 520, Kelawella Rs. 480, Paraw Rs. 400, Balaya Rs. 250, Hurulla Rs. 280, Salaya (big) Rs. 150 rand the Salaya small variety was only Rs. 30 at the St Johns market.
Rambutan and Mangosteen that were in abundance during the season were sold at various prices while grapes were also sold at different prices varying from Rs. 150 to 200 for 500grams in Pettah yesterday.

 Public Lab: Raising the Dead: Grassroots Mappers Help Look For America's First Veterans Cemetery.
The ballooners were hoping to find "grassroots" clues to history hidden underneath our feet.
Working with historical research from Brooklyn preservation groups including the Brooklyn Preservation Council and Proteus Gowanus, the Grassroots Mappers zoomed in on an abandoned vacant lot at 170 8th Street, next to 3rd Ave, in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn.
The key reasons for interest in the site was that this particular lot had been identified as the sole remaining remnant of "Marylander Hill", described by historians as a grave site for early colonial settlers, slaves and War of Independence soldiers.
By comparing topographic surveys from the 1850's with current data, it was established that the site was at the same 24 foot high elevation that it was on 27 August 1776, day of the Battle of Brooklyn. Even though the historic cemetery was eventually covered by industrial buildings in the 1880's, the study sites buildings had burnt down, exposing the concrete floor slab to decades of weathering over original soils that had never been excavated.
"On the shore of Gowanus Bay sleep the remains of this noble band. Out upon the broad surface of the level marsh rose a little island with trees and undergrowth. Around this mound, scarcely an acre in extent, clustered a few of the survivors of the fatal field and of the remorseless swamp, and here the heroic dead were brought, and laid beneath its sod, after the storm of battle had swept by. Tradition says that all the dead of the Maryland and Delaware battalions, who fell on and near the meadow, were buried in this Miniature island, which promised at that day the seclusion and sacred (quiet which befit the resting place of the heroic dead. Third avenue intersects the westerly end of the mound; and Seventh and Eighth streets indicate two of its sides".
In 1956, the U.S. National Parks Service did a historical site survey, entitled Historical Orientation Report for Archaeological Investigation, Marylanders' Burial Site, Brooklyn, New York. Dr. Nicholas Ryan, a Brooklyn Heights physician, is quoted there stating that in the 1890s his father, a building contractor, had found "the bones of some thirty bodies in regular, or military order," in the course of digging cellars for apartment buildings in the Marylander Hill area.
Based on the above historical maps and recorded evidence, and the promise of an excellent pie shop nearby, the "Over My Dead Body" Mapping Team launched their 56" diameter red weather balloon from the nearby Gowanus Canal Conservancy's high tech Mission Control Center, home of GLAM (Gowanus Low Altitude Mapping) at 2nd Avenue and the Gowanus Canal.
The balloon was filled with helium gas kindly provided by Liberty Industrial Gases, a local business, and a SD880 Canon 10 megapixel camera (slightly used, with Snoopy and Hello Kitty stickers) and lodged into a state of the art crash landing protector made from a 100% organic carrot juice bottle and little girl's hair bands.
The Red Balloon was tethered by two strings, allowing for virtuoso navigation in the narrow barbed wired lined industrial Gowanus streets.
Using a CHDK script that programmed the camera to take pictures every 10 seconds the balloon was sent up over the site to a height of about 500 feet.
Looking at the photographs a couple of minutes later, over coffee and most excellent pie, a curious fact was uncovered by scrutinizing the high resolution images: the cracks in the concrete – the "grassroots" – were telling a story.
The concrete slab that covered the lot had a visible concrete reinforcing mesh, oriented to the same angle as the street layout, being on a north east to south west axis. Nothing unusual there.
However, by looking at the photos carefully, a pattern of unusual cracks could be seen running across the site on a NORTH – SOUTH axis. Blank stares at this announcement.
Christian military burials were often laid out on this axis, so that the dead bodies could face the rising sun, symbol of resurrection. Why did the cracks follow the same alignment – was it just coincidence ?
A strange pattern of cracks and slight discolorations in the concrete hint at minute depressions in the concrete slab - further LIDAR and ground penetrating radar studies would confirm or deny wether remnants of the trenches remain.
What was even more unusual was that the spacing between the trenches was about 8 feet. This matched the general description, location and space needed to accommodate the up to 256 soldiers supposedly buried in 6 burial trenches described by Henry Wildhack Jr., a local resident quoted in the 1956 Parks Service Archeological Report. He stated there, that in 1905 as a child, he and his friends used to dig on the exposed 6 burial trenches and "it was nothing new for us to find bones and various shapes and pieces of metal."
Though the patterns could be entirely coincidental, they add weight to the historical evidence indicating the possibility that a small portion of the Marylander Cemetery may have survived the ravages of urbanization. It is entirely possible that remains are long gone, and that the site now only has commemorative value.
The 170 8th Street vacant site (Block 01003 Lot 0011) is currently owned by the Fried family and is available for redevelopment.
Because of recent population growth along 4th Avenue and encroaching high rise apartment buildings, the site is in imminent danger of being built over again.
At the same time, the new population increases require that the City provide new open space facilities for new neighborhood residents. This is a role a commemorative park could play.
In September 2012, the Governor of Maryland, Martin O'Malley, alerted to the new Marylander research by Justin's NY Times article, wrote to New York City's Mayor Bloomberg pledging Maryland's help in preserving this important site of American history.
Thanks to community based Grassroots Mapping effort a site destined for oblivion is being given a second look. Local preservation groups will now be approached to discuss the best way to honor the first soldiers to die for American Independence.
A coalition of groups may form around this common cause, including the Gowanus Canal Conservancy, (spearheading sustainable watershed based open space planning) the Brooklyn Preservation Council and Proteus Gowanus, (dedicated to deepening the community's sense of connection) Friends and Residents of Greater Gowanus (also doing historical preservation work) and the Old Stone House, who has led commemoration of Battle of Brooklyn events.
In terms of what physical form a new park might take, one vision is to recreate a historical network of greenways and rain water management blueways tying all the different Gowanus watershed sites together, from the Old Stone House, to the Marylander Burial Site and through this landscaped greenway create walkable links to the Gowanus Canal historic tidal mill battle sites, currently a Superfund site. This would help rebuild a better environment so many have fought for.
Pensive on her dead gazing I heard the Mother of All, Desperate on the torn bodies, on the forms covering the battlefields gazing, (As the last gun ceased, but the scent of the powder-smoke linger'd,) As she call'd to her earth with mournful voice while she stalk'd, Absorb them well O my earth, she cried, I charge you lose not my sons, lose not an atom, And you streams absorb them well, taking their dear blood, … In unseen essence and odor of surface and grass, centuries hence, In blowing airs from the fields back again give me my darlings, give my immortal heroes.
A 2012 laser topography survey of the site shows an unusual pattern of bumps on the site. They may just be remnants of the concrete pouring process, but coincidentally, they are exactly the same shape as human bodies.
It's a draft contour map exploring the use of LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to create high resolution terrain models.
It seems to show mounds that look like graves, but their alignment contradicts the "north-south" burial axis mentioned in the "Over My Dead Body" post. Maybe bodies were aligned to magnetic north, or just followed historical contours..
The DIY technological challenge is how to replicate the enormous potential of this 3D visualization technology cheaply, using Xbox Kinect or Iphone4 3d mapping technology suspended from balloons.
The only way to win the game is to lose.
Hopefully, in honor of Veteran's Day, this is one battle we can win for those who lost their lives to make America's history possible.


OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to present the various strategies adopted in our center to improve and overcome problems with exposure of the operative field in 48 patients who underwent TORS for the treatment of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. METHODS: We present our operative and preoperative treatment protocols for patients undergoing TORS for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. In particular, we emphasize the role of preoperative exposure assessment and the usefulness of simple measures to overcome problems with exposure of the operative field. RESULTS: In 12 patients (25%), we experienced difficult laryngeal-hypopharyngeal exposure. However the correct positioning of the robotic arms, the proper use of the laryngeal and tongue blade and some simple maneuvers, such as the anterior traction of the tongue and the partial epiglottectomy, ensured the feasibility of TORS with negative margins in all patients. CONCLUSION: In TORS, the exposure of larynx and hypopharynx can be difficult, but the adoption of certain methods may make it possible in most patients. An accurate preoperative evaluation under general anesthesia is the primary strategy for reducing the number of cases terminated intraoperatively. Currently, TORS is not feasible in all patients, but in our opinion, reductions in the size of robotic equipment and development of new devices will extend the application of TORS to a larger number of patients.

The value of earthworms
Earthworms play an important role in the health of soil. Their burrows improve drainage and enable oxygen to reach the roots of plants. They also take plant material into their burrows where it decays and improves the organic matter content of the soil. Earthworms are an important food for many animals, from beetles to birds.
Assessing earthworm populations
Take a garden spade and measure the breadth and depth of the blade in cm. Push the blade vertically into the soil to two-thirds of its depth. Do this three more times in a square configuration and then remove the soil, aiming for a neat cube. This is usually very difficult because the soil crumbles (unless it is very compacted). In either case, put the soil sample on a sheet of plastic or newspaper, tear it apart with your fingers and collect all the earthworms that you see. Put these on a tray or on plastic or paper as above.
Count the earthworms
Divide them into adults and juveniles and count the numbers in each category. This is easy because adults have a slightly swollen pinkish 'saddle' one-third from the head end, while juveniles are uniform along their length. You may see light and dark patches along the earthworms' body, this is soil passing through their gut. The saddle contains the adult's reproductive organs. Earthworms are hermaphrodite so the saddle contains male and female reproductive organs.
Next, brush as much soil from the worms' bodies as possible and weigh them all together. If your kitchen scales are not sensitive enough, combine several worm samples into one batch and divide the combined weight by the total number of spade-fulls taken.
One hectare of land contains around 4.5 million spade-fulls of soil. If your sample contained, for example, ten earthworms then that is the equivalent of around 45 million earthworms/ha. One gram of earthworm makes one gram of new soil per year, so ten earthworms per spade-full in your garden make the equivalent of around 4.5 tonnes of soil/ha. We can buy topsoil for around $60/tonne so the earthworms in your garden make the equivalent of $270/ha/year.
Compare the economic value of earthworms in different parts of your garden, using the calculation above. Consider why the adult/juvenile ratio of earthworms in at least some parts of your garden appears to be abnormal. For example, are there few juveniles or are there few adults?

Kept working on tags; removed "audience" category as it just was not functional across multiple tags. Added (student) and (faculty) to a couple of categories instead.
Carpet cleaner blew a fuse. Ran across the street to the Canadian Tire to get new ones. Current fuses made by company called "FUSETRON", with labels clearly printed in the late 60s. New fuses not nearly as awesome-looking.
Got email about status of current library construction. Immediately related it to website/digital signage content. Emailed facilities manager to ask him how he'd feel about making that kind of content public on the website/digital signage via Twitter. He's intrigued. Set meeting with him for next week to talk it out.
Carpet cleaner still cleaning my carpets. This is what happens when you have a white carpet and a big fluffy orange cat.
Shared tags with one of the reference staff; got some feedback, brainstormed around how to manage "reference" as a service and the blogs. Separate, or really just another part of every other service? Reference is really a flexible service.
Rethinking the need for two different chat services that really are just going to go to the same person. Need to label the reference widget with a line that encourages students to use it to report noise problems in the building, perhaps? I still like the idea of having a special widget just for noise reports.
Looked over our test site (minus design) and the design screenshot. Discovered a few weird things.
Composed email to developer's Project Manager (Barbara) about weird things (all minor). Sent it. Forgot to copy colleagues. Forwarded sent mail to colleagues.
Got ready to go to work. Realized I have lost my keys (again).
Decided my time would be better spent working on my various documents rather than trying to find my keys and travelling to work.
Got corrected on one of the weird things on the test site; new development. Having two versions of one page based on audience. Only second time that's happened on our website (so far). Sent the news (do nothing! It's fine!) to Barbara.
Got a skype call from Barbara to talk about some design questions; got 5 minutes in and Barbara lost her connection.
Waited for her to come back.
Kept picking at tags. Feel confident that I've covered enough for the first round.
Barbara gets her internet connection back and calls me. We talk about various design issues, answers to questions we asked on Monday.
Made some executive decisions based one two things: 1) not spending more money, 2) getting the website finished sooner. Executive decisions all extremely minor with no huge impact on the user experience (library staff content creation experience or the student experience).
Questions about hosting; things I don't know enough about.
I realize I'm going to miss Barbara when we're done; I quite like her. She's a Stargate Atlantis fan.
Write up details of my conversation with Barbara and send it to colleagues, including our graphic designer.
The Library day in the Life project collects the activities of library staff for a single week. The idea is to help prospective librarians and library staff get a sense of what life is like in particular roles. This is a rather strange and strangled week for me, but here goes Monday.
Discussing new website design with our graphic designer. Ask for permission to include her in our skype meeting with dev.
Saw girl in the bathroom curling her hair with a curling iron while talking on her cellphone.
Got permission from everyone to include graphic designer on our call.
Got into an email discussion about how we intend to use Twitter on the library's digital signage. Announced decision to set up a second Twitter account, tentatively UTMLtraffic. That way we'd have an announcements feed and a traffic feed; announcements for the Big Things that are happening on campus, and traffic feed to help students work out whether there's room in the library for them to come study here.
Comparing meebo and digsby chat widgets. Leaning toward digsby, but meebo looks cleaner on a site.
Discussing meebo and digsby with FLC tech. If you need students to log into the service from multiple locations, web-based is preferable to client-based.
Got a phone call from campus staff asking for clarification about how Blackboard manages survey results. Lots of confusion about a note on the website that makes it look like something changed in the upgrade when actually it's just that a lot of people misundersood surveys to start with. You don't get know who said what with a survey. They are anonymized. You wouldn't believe how many times I've had to break that to an instructor when it was FAR too late.
Forwarding a message from a mailing list to two colleagues; had moment of terror thinking I had sent reply to the list.
Thinking about what angle to take in an article proposal relating to our new website project. Project management? Creating (or trying to create) a digital culture? Both?
Chatting with FLC tech about new website, schedule for creating pages, etc.
Got a delighted reception to the idea of having students use our 2 ipod touches to update library twitter feeds. Discovered ipod Touches are out of the library, and thus cannot begin setting them up and testing them.
Call with developer's Project Manager (Barbara) on Skype. No word yet on how I can manage my desire for mutiple blogs, tags, and categories.
Design looks good. Minor changes proposed and accepted. Colours finalized. Hosting situation discussed.
Finished call with the developer. Need to mod hours php file. Added to to-do list. Brain not quite ready to fix code today.
Brain slowly going numb from the sound of the construction going on, seemingly directly over my head.
Created new Twitter account for traffic reports in the library. UTMLtraffic it is.
Still don't understand why so many girls want to spend quality time hanging out in library bathrooms.
Briefly discussed GIS/Data website with GIS tech.
Post day's tweets and assorted happenings to blog.
Blogs the way I want them appear to be doable. Yay!
Have I mentioned lately how much I love my job? My head has been in a bit of a fog with it the last few months. The only thing on my horizon currently is my current task: rethinking, restructuring, and recreating the library's website.
When I explain what the project is, it seems like such a small thing, really. We have a website: surely we're just making it prettier and adding a few extra pages of text, right? This couldn't be further from the truth.
Our original goal with the project was to create a local hub for our community; we wanted our website to be not only for our community but by our community. We wanted it to have a lot of interaction, where students could contribute in a variety of ways. We wanted it to belong to them as much as to us. This is, of course, a very lofty goal. Few websites manage to do this; why would a library website be one of them? There were a wide variety of things we really wanted to implement so that we could assist students in communicating not only with us but with each other. We took a look around at what happens in the building and decided that the same kind of activity should also be happening on the website; see and be seen, chat with friends, find classmates who are studying at the same time as you are. We could be antagonistic to the fact that we are apparently the facebook of our campus, given all the various problems that come with that (noise in particular) but instead we're seeing it as a valid use of the space. Our overall goals including helping students to learn better. You can't learn with people you don't trust. How do you build trust? You chat, you share, you relate to each other in friendly ways. Are libraries places to meet people, chat with friends, build community? Why shouldn't they be? We can encourage it, preserve the traditional "library quiet" in the places where it's expected, and infuse our social and academic spaces with resources and services to help.
Our goals for the website were lofty. A little too lofty for our first iteration, as it turns out. Not just because of time (though that's a huge factor) and not just because of money (also a huge factor). It's also got a lot to do with cultural change in an institution, getting various groups of people on the same page, getting resources you don't necessarily have any history of requesting, and generally changing expectations on every level. Slow change is sometimes the best we can accomplish. I'm not a patient person, but I think what we're trying to accomplish needs patience. So a few technical hurdles are probably just what was required to slow me down a bit.
So what we're going to present in a few weeks is different than what our original goals suggested. It's going to look like 180 degree turn to some, I realize. But the more I got into the project, the more I realized that we're not yet entirely qualified to start building digital community. We don't live digitally yet as a library. How can we responsibly foster such a community, encourage interaction, when we're not doing it ourselves? So in our steps toward creating a community website, the first thing we need to do is focus on us.
This is totally counter-intuitive. I know this is one of the battles I'm going to need to fight: in order to be a part of a community, you need talk as much as you need to listen. The received wisdom on this point is that to be a trusted source, you listen to your audience and give them what they want. I shall now turn that on its ear: to be valuable and trusted, you need to demonstrate who you are and what you do. Not just once, but constantly. It's not enough to listen; we're listening, and no one knows who we are. We are faceless. We can be an echo chamber for our patrons, or we can show them who we actually are and what we actually do. We can share our passion with them. We can tell them about all the really interesting things that we encounter on a regular basis. We can talk about the things that slow us down. Talking doesn't stop us from listening. In order to be part of a community we hope to provide resources for, we need to open up and share.
So the first iteration of our website will be about us sharing. It will be about us telling you what's going on and what we're thinking about. This is going to be a challenge on all sides. As I said, we are not a digital culture here. Other than me, no one is used to musing aloud in public. We are currently a closed circle, looking at each other and filling the space between us with papers and words. Now, we will face outward, and you will get to see those words. They will be for you as much as for us.
What this means: regular updates on things like construction in the library. It won't just be a little sign for you to read on the way in; you can see the plans, the ideas, the fundraising goals. You will know that we are having some of our soft furnishing replaced, that we're rearranging the fourth floor because the original plan didn't make as much sense as we thought, and that we have big plans for the structure of the library in the future. There are so many really exciting things going on related to the physical space; there's no good reason not to share it with our community. We can talk about ideas we have about replacing our loaner laptops with hardy netbooks. (Just ideas, but good ones!) When something explodes in the library world, we can be upfront and clear with our community about how it effects them, and hear about what we're doing about it ourselves. We can track the progress of all the new initiatives that are starting up in the library, including my own position, Emerging Technologies.
So our first go with our new website is going to be about a change in practice and in metaphor. Our website is not just a big book full of how-tos that you can pull down when you need it, though we're going to make sure it's easy to find out how to do everything we know students are going to need to know how to do. The book metaphor is gone. We're not just trying to serve all known needs. We're also trying to engage with our community on the issues we are passionate about. We are trying to inform everyone about what's going on here, what the plans are, how we're considering an issue or a problem. We will not be faceless. We will not be without our particular interests and specialties. We will not be perfect PR. We will be human beings who happen to love the work that we do.
You can give someone a blank piece of paper and tell them to write. Or you can give them a book full of ideas and comments and ask them to jot down their response. The first one seems easier, but is actually harder. So we'll start. We'll start the process of creating an institutional space that changes all the time, that reflects the people in the building, and responds to the community in every way that they talk back. As time goes on, we'll expand the voices that populate our website. We want to hear more from students and faculty. We want to provide them with tools to communicate with each other.
Jason: you mean cause there's a real narrative flow that must be sequential?
I suspect this is the last iteration of Cancerland, since I don't think the land its sitting on will be around too much longer. So I really went to town with it. Building it and sharing it has been a great experience.
This may be my favourite bit of research lately. Teens aren't internet superusers: if anyone is, it looks like it's adults.
Pull this out the next time someone regales with you more anecdotal evidence that the kids these days are "digital natives" and we cannot understand their ways.
Each industry has (or had) a standard organizational architecture. That organizational architecture is close to optimal, in the sense that small changes mostly make things worse, not better. Everyone in the industry uses some close variant of that architecture. Then a new technology emerges and creates the possibility for a radically different organizational architecture, using an entirely different combination of skills and relationships. The only way to get from one organizational architecture to the other is to make drastic, painful changes. The money and power that come from commitment to an existing organizational architecture actually place incumbents at a disadvantage, locking them in. It's easier and more effective to start over, from scratch.
It's not that they're malevolent; they're just stuck in an institutional structure that is too difficult to change. His first example is newspapers; the New York Times (in decline) versus TechCrunch (in the black).
That got me thinking: what would it take for me to go back to supporting a newspaper? Because, in truth, I love newspapers. I haven't subscribed to one in about two years now, but I do love newspapers. I just don't like getting one every day. First: they're messy. The ink stained my carpet at the point where it met the front door, because the newspaper deliverer would drop it just so. It stained my fingers. They pile up and have to be transported somewhere and be disposed of. They're net worth isn't sufficient for all the work I have to do to maintain their presence in my daily life. However: I love sitting outside on the patio of our favourite breakfast place with Jeremy, trading parts of the paper, skimming the stuff that is vaguely interesting, digging down on the stuff that's very interesting, ignoring the sports section…I suppose we use the newspaper as our internet when we're not online, or when being online would be too costly, too disruptive, or too awkward. Clearly it's simply a matter of time before we have devices that will fill this desire handily: a roll of thin plastic, perhaps, tucked under an arm, an easy part of the breakfast scene, online for cheap no matter where we are, showing us only the articles that are at least vaguely interesting if not very interesting to us, with no sports section to ignore; our device would have the upsides of the newspaper (no computers cluttering up the table, getting between the food, the people), but the cleanliness, customizability and immediacy of the internet. The future newspaper is a gadget.
Michael Nieslen says: "My claim is that in ten to twenty years, scientific publishers will be technology companies." Could that be true of newspapers as well? Is the medium more valuable to us than the content? If newspapers managed to produce the device, instead of the content, or perhaps in conjunction with some content funded by the popularity of the device, could that be their future?
Beth Jefferson makes the case that librarians should carefully watch the decline of the newspaper industry, because our descent is similar and may come soon afterward. We, also, are less about our content than about the medium in which we can present them. Our devices are buildings; while "the library without walls" meme has been going around for a while, the reality is that people still need space, and our spaces are popular as spaces to work, think, be and be seen. At the very least. When we move into things like ubiquitous interfaces, maybe our space becomes the medium, the device.
A recent report on libraries and mobile technologies suggested that we wait on developing mobile tech versions of our collections and services, a conclusion with which some disagreed. While I'm all for being cutting edge (bleeding edge, even), I agree with the report. We have no idea where this mobile thing is going. If we had gone all mobile three years ago (when we easily could have gone to town with it), and then the iphone would have appeared, with its alternate internet of apps. Mobile devices don't tend to do the web well; rather than get better at it, we're creating a new web for them, designed with their location-awareness, mobility, and lack of keyboards in mind. What if our big future isn't in making our content web/mobile friendly, but in building ourselves into the e-newspaper or the e-book, letting you do "more like this" searches, hooking up bibliographies, keyword searches within (digital, mobile) text? Maybe the future of libraries is an app inside an app? What about blackberries and other smartphones? Are they going to get in on this app revolution? Are we going to have competing app universes to contend with? The data plan revolution (at least in Canada) is clearly coming, but when? And what will it bring with it? What restrictions will we be under?
I see the legacy of "waiting" that newspapers have demonstrated has not served them particularly well. But on the flip side, jumping in without getting the full lay of the land doesn't have a good track record either. Maybe we're all about to come technology companies, in some way or other.

The Comprehensive ORAC 6.0 Analysis
Home » Technical Library » The Comprehensive ORAC 6.0 Analysis
ORAC 6.0 and Why All 6 Radicals Matter
There are a variety of "free radicals" that operate in humans – the most important of which are the primary radicals hydroxyl, peroxyl, peroxynitrite, singlet oxygen, superoxide anion, and hypochlorite.
These radicals are formed, behave, and are defended against differently.
They all contribute to (1) a general condition called "oxidative stress," or cellular damage, and (2) broad human health concerns caused, for example, by inflammation, DNA and protein damage.
They are each implicated in different health problems – from cardiovascular disease to macular degeneration and Alzheimer's disease.
They are directly linked to skin damage and aging.
Q: Is peroxyl the most important radical, or the one that best measures antioxidant capacity?
A: While peroxyl is an important radical, and was as good a starting spot for developing a single ORAC assay, it is not more important than the other primary radicals. From a commercial standpoint, it was first to market and has gained use and recognition. Brunswick Labs has always stated clearly that peroxyl ORAC is a representation of antioxidant capacity; it does not measure complete or comprehensive antioxidant capacity; it is not a "universal" antioxidant measurement.
Q: What do you mean by "universal" measurement?
A: We mean that peroxyl ORAC favors certain antioxidants that work better against the peroxyl radical. For example, compounds such as anthocyanins in the flavonoid family quench peroxyl better than compounds such as lycopene in the carotenoid family.
Q: Why should I test against hydroxyl or other radicals?
A: For the same reason that a health checkup measures blood pressure, cholesterol, PSA (for men), and a mammogram (for women). The following descriptions demonstrate the important differences between the radicals and their roles in human health concerns.
Premium antioxidant products are often a complex matrix of compounds that come from diverse natural sources. Such products are likely to have broad-spectrum antioxidant potential.
Q: Can you describe how the other radicals are different from peroxyl?
A: Hydroxyl: Hydroxyl is highly reactive and cannot be eliminated by our endogenous enzymes (such as SOD and glutathione). It can damage virtually all types of macromolecules: carbohyd rates, nucleic acids, lipids, and amino acids. In the skin, hydroxyl radicals are created by UV exposure.
Peroxynitrite: Peroxynitrite is a reactive nitrogen species that is particularly harmful to proteins. It has been implicated in the development of certain cancers, hepatitis, and chronic inflammation. In the skin, peroxynitrite contributes to the breakdown of vital proteins, such as collagen
Singlet Oxygen: In the skin, singlet oxygen is generated by UV. In vivo, it is linked to the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. Singlet oxygen is highly unstable and durable. Carotenoids are very effective at scavenging singlet oxygen.
Superoxide Anion: Superoxide anion is a precursor of all other reactive oxygen species – sometimes referred to as "the mother of free radicals." It is highly toxic and contributes to lipid and DNA damage. Antioxidants that scavenge superoxide anion also help prevent the formation of radicals such as hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl. Superoxide anion has been linked to hypertension and cardiovascular damage.
Hypochlorite: a powerful oxidant produced during the activation of monocytes and neutrophils. Plasma proteins are major targets of excessive hypochlorite, with potential reaction mechanisms of hypochlorite causing the alteration of amino acid side chains, cleavage of backbones, and cross-linking of protein molecules. Hypochlorite-modified proteins have been found related to atherosclerosis and cancer.

Looks like mid to late teens, possibly early 20's.
Interesting mix of parking techniques - most folks backed into their spots, but a few pulled in forward and some others up the street appear to be parallel parked.
I just noticed - what is the tower for in the background? Too early for a radio tower, I would have thought.
Could be a radio tower,radio came to Arkansas in 1922.
That car to the left in front looks like a 26. I can't tell if the bottom glass is curved, could be a 25. I would suggest the picture was taken in the late 20's. The buggy seems to be the focus of the picture because it is in the foreground.
Interestingly, that buggy looks identical to one we are restoring for the Alpine Historical Society. If it is, it was made in San Francisco. Ours buggy was made before 1906, because it has a plaque with the name and address of the company. The building at that address was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and the company moved to a different location after the quake.
Radio didn't come to Stuttgart till Melvin P Spann put KWAK on the air in 1948 or '49. I lived there 1946 through '58, frequently went home to visit Mom till she moved from there in '95, don't remember that tower during those times.
It's interesting that the tower appears to be smack-dab in the middle of Main Street. Maybe it was a PR thing to draw attention to that new-fangled "wireless telephone" system.
The pennants strung across the street look like they say, "BUY L?B??????...."
There was a habit a lot of folks had in the twenties, they backed into the curb so that when they left they could hand crank the car without first pushing it away from the curb.
I agree, Mike, I think the banner says "Buy Liberty Bonds".
Just a thought on the tower? It wasn't really common, but some towns did put up a single tower downtown street lamp. San Jose California had a very famous one about 1890 something. It stood for many years before the major part of town was wired for electricity. The single tower lit most of the downtown at night. It was eventually demolished. There is a (about) quarter size replica of the tower in the San Jose Historic Park where the SCVMTFC holds their annual "History in the Park" meet.
Other than the radio tower (already dismissed) I cannot think of much else it could be unless they are planning to park a Zeppelin.
Aaron, you've outlined half of a problem. When I take the TT to Home Depot, Lowe's or the like it's difficult to decide whether it's better to back in the parking space for ease of starting it (crank only, no starter), or pull in nose first for ease of loading it.
After a job interview this AM, I spent the day doing pickup framing all around my TT in the shop today.
What's hidden behind the mule?

Draft card for my father's other brother. He died in 2000.
Lots of veterans in the Russo tree, sturdy branches there.
Pinning this thread for now.
Interesting that all three brothers (including my father) had the middle name Anthony. That's my grandfather's name, and also my middle name.
Armand said he took off in lots of planes, but rarely landed in one.
Sorry to hear about losing your uncle Lou. Sharp looking fellow there! We're losing lots of the WW2 guys these days.
Do you have any of his stories to share with us?
Unfortunately, we lost touch with most of my father's family. Few stories that I remember from childhood.
Very sorry for your loss, Lou. My condolences to you and your family.
Sorry for your loss Lou. My best to you and your family.

Housewife mistakenly put on Interpol's list of most wanted criminals
Adam SmithSunday 10 Jun 2018 3:53 pm
Adriana Barton, from Weymouth, was mistakenly included on Interpol's most wanted list (Picture: SWNS)
A housewife was mistakenly included on a list of the most wanted British criminals in the world.
Adriana Barton, 41, was horrified when her name and passport photo was featured in an Interpol list which was distributed across the world.
Dad found guilty of murdering mum-of-four on school run in front of daughter
The mum-of-two was contacted by worried friends and family when she appeared as one of just three women included in the global appeal for wanted fugitives.
The 'red notice' accused her of fraud in Costa Rica and was published on Interpol's website.
Distraught and confused she went to 'hand herself in' to local police in Weymouth despite never been in trouble with the law.
Adriana Barton was placed in a rogue's gallery of criminals (Picture: SWNS)
She was allowed home 'until they could get to the bottom of it but it took the National Crime Agency an incredible six months to apologise.
Lawyers for the NCA admitted they handed over her passport details and photo to Interpol in Costa Rica in 'error' when police their asked for info on another criminal suspect.
But astonishingly they denied liability for defamation – despite her photo and name being reproduced by newspapers and websites around the world.
Adriana Barton's passport photo which was accidentally sent to Interpol (Picture: SWNS)
Even now when Adriana searches for her name in an online search engine, her face appears in 'rogues galleries' of the most sought alleged criminals.
She said: 'I can't believe they could make such a mistake. They were looking for a criminal fraudster – but they issued a picture and name of a housewife in Weymouth.
'I think it's outrageous. When I looked at the page I was shaking. It was robbers and rapists and murderers – and me. Interpol and the NCA are supposed to protect people. It makes you worry about trusting the system.'
Adriana was out power-walking when she received a message from a friend in Ireland asking if she was ok, accompanied by a link to a story on the Sun Online, in July 2017.
Mrs Barton opened the link and the story included her passport photo and name and said she was wanted for fraud.
She thought the story about 'Interpol's 25 most wanted Britons in world' was a mock-up by her friend.
Adriana Barton now wants compensation because of her ordeal at the hands of the NCA and interpol (Picture: SWNS)
'I phoned her, and she wasn't joking, I just panicked. I felt sick. I knew I hadn't done anything wrong. I thought the police would be banging on the door and everyone would be looking for me.
'If it had been a different photo or has said 'wanted in China' I wouldn't have worried, but it had my passport photo and said 'Costa Rica' and I'm originally from Costa Rica."
The list included a 47-year-old pilot wanted in the US for allegedly grooming and sexually abusing children, and a terrorist, 43, is wanted for kidnapping and murder.
Of the 'wanted' Adriana, it had Mrs Barton's photo, her name, but wrongly said she was Brazilian born, aged 47, and wanted for fraud in Costa Rica.
She called two friends who accompanied her to Weymouth Police Station while her husband returned home from working in London.
'I was sat there and every time I saw someone come in the room with handcuffs I thought 'this is it, I'm going to be stuck in a police cell until they sort this out.'
She added: 'The next day the police told me not to worry because they couldn't find out what it was all about. But I felt like everyone was looking at me.
'It was in my head of course, but I've lived in this town for 22 years. I go to the shops, I take the kids to school, so anyone I know who sees that photo is going to think it means me. It made me feel ill for a good couple of months.
Interpol claimed Adriana Barton had committed fraud in Costa Rica (Picture: SWNS)
'Since then I've had anxiety, I've been to the hospital with heart palpitations, I've had to go to A&E because I've felt like I was having a heart attack.
A spokesman for the NCA said: 'In 2014 Mrs Barton's photo was incorrectly shared with the Costa Rican authorities for intelligence purposes in response to a request made by them.
'At no point was the NCA made aware that this intelligence would be made public some time later.
'However, we accept that the photo was shared in error and we have apologised fully to Mrs Barton.
'As discussions are ongoing with her legal representatives it would not be appropriate for us to comment further.'

Here is a list of all of our Ketubah designs that we currently offer online. It is not a complete list, however, because the NMAJH Museum Store boasts the only Gallery we know of on the East Coast where you can come in and view them in person. There are some in the gallery that are not online here, and vice versa. Artists we work with are updating their collections all the time, sometimes faster than we can get them online! Please feel free to contact us if you have questions, or if you are looking for a specific design that you do not see here.
Additionally, the Museum Store has a partnership with Ketubah.com. Items in their "signature collection" are available to purchase through us, and proceeds from your purchase supports our Museum. Please call us at 215-923-0262 to place an order for a Ketubah.com design over the phone.


Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often have deficits in communication. Some of them may be non-verbal, while some can speak, but seldom speak spontaneously. They may not ask questions or make comments on their own, and may also have difficulties using language effectively or in appropriate situations. Most parents feel stressed when they face these situations. To improve your child to speak spontaneously, you can create opportunities for your child to initiate communication using a technique called "Communication Temptations".
Communication Temptations means just what the wording suggests: we set up the environment to tempt children to communicate with us. A child is much more likely to communicate if there are reasons to do so.
Described by Wetherby & Prizant (1989), communication temptations are used to increase a student's desire to communicate, and make communication fun. It also enables to establish the power of communication and increase children's use of spontaneous language. Additionally, it can help the children to speak in the appropriate situations.
Requesting is often the easiest form of communication for children with ASD and here are the few steps to teach your child to make request for a specific target.
a. At the beginning, we can choose targets for the child to request for (his favorite food or toys.) If you child love cars, "Car" can be your target.
c. If your child is able to make a request, you can now make your child to ask questions "Can I play with the car?" The targets you decide are based on your child's needs.
Again, you need to choose the target that he has motivation to speak or request for. Otherwise, he/she may not speak spontaneously or be dependent on your help or prompting.
2. Set up the situation.
a. Choose an activity that is related to your targets (example: if your child likes toy trains, you can then set up the train track together).
Again, you need to choose the target that your child has motivation to speak or request for. Otherwise, he/she may not speak spontaneously or be dependent on your help or prompting.
If your child does not know how to say the target word, then we need to provide a modeling prompt and let the child make an association between the actual item and the sound of the word. Provide a modeling prompt by saying the word or phrase you want your child to repeat, and give the items to the child. The timing of this procedure has to be accurate; once you provide the modeling prompt, we need to let the child access the item immediately. Otherwise, the child may not make the association between the sound of word and the actual items.
After the few trials of free access to the item with your modeling prompt, we can require the child imitate what we said. Once he grabs the item, we hold it and provide the modeling prompt. We pause and wait for him to imitate the word. After he says the word, we give him the items immediately and re-articulate what we want him to say.
For instance, "Car" is our target.
a. Play the car with him, once he wants to get the car, we hold the car, and say "Car".
b. Then, we pause and wait for him to say "Car". (Notes: It is ok if the sound he makes is off, what we now focusing is to make him to speak spontaneously. c. When he speaks, we re-articulate what he said "Car".
Remember re-articulation is important because it lets the child hear what word or phrase we want him to speak. Furthermore, we do not give any negative feedback when the student cannot exactly say what we want him to say. Otherwise, the motivation to speak may be reduced and we may discourage the child to speak.
After your child understands the power of communication and starts to speak the target word, we can gradually fade out our modelling prompt. This can help the child to do the target independently. Avoid providing too many questions (example: What do you want? Is this what you wan? You tell me!), otherwise your child will be heavily dependent on your questions.
Providing more opportunities and increasing the repetition for your child to practice the target. Whenever you are playing with his favorite toys, activities or having his snack with him, you can practice communication temptation (10-20 mins each time) with your child!
After you child can spontaneously use the target word, you can find different family members/teacher to practice with them. Also, you can set up different situations for him to practice the same target.

IS DAVID GEFFEN THE MYSTERY MAN IN CARLY SIMON'S "YOU'RE SO VAIN"?
After 40 years of speculation singer Carly Simon has revealed that the subject of her biggest song, "You're So Vain" was neither Mick Jagger nor Warren Beatty, but music mogul David Geffen.
Although David admitted to being gay many years ago I always suspected him of being more "heterosexual" than anything. I was at Warner Brothers Music in the early '70s when David had his label with WEA and his publishing administered by us.
When WB VP. Mel Bly and I would go with David to a party or a concert, he was always in the company of a beautiful woman who seemed mesmerized by him. In the business world it seemed he was the equivalent of a Rock Star.
I remember one night at the Troubadour , I was sitting with Sonny and Cher, who were about to publicly announce their split. David walks into the room and suddenly his eyes met Chers. It was like the scene out of "West Side Story", when Tony and Maria meet for the first time and the room around them disappears…leaving them standing in two spotlights!
I shook my head and thought my imagination was running away with me until I saw the tabloids soon after filled with stories of David and Cher's romance.

I WAS THE "HOUSE NEGRO" FOR WB FILMS DURING THE BLAXPLOITATION ERA!
"It seems Like Warner Brothers Music is celebrating a victory, or facing a new crisis every day. After spearheading a campaign that results in over a 100 cover records on, "The Summer Knows", from "The Summer Of '42', I'm asked to be consultant for a new project and find a Black composer, for another Blaxpoitation film, "Cleopatra Jones".
Again I agree to act as the "house negro" and do the film for a screen credit and no money, which Warner Brothers Music President Ed Silvers agrees to, as long as the film company picks up my expenses. I just look on it as an opportunity get my foot in the door and work with artists and producers I might not otherwise meet. After seeing the Max Julian film, in my head I keep hearing the intro to the O'Jays, "Backstabbers" which is written and arranged by my Philadelphia pal, Thom Bell. The introduction is good enough to be a movie theme itself!
The writer and director, Max Julian lights up when he hears my suggestion, and when I play the short passage, so does Bill Tenant the producer, and Larry Marks, current head of the film department. They want me to bring Thom Bell to Hollywood; I think it's going to be a sure thing. By the time he gets out here they've already changed their mind.
It doesn't take me long to find out these people don't know what they're doing. I throw my hands up in disgust and walk away from this extremely stressful situation. A few weeks later the producers call me up and apologize for making things difficult and tell me they'd like to hire Thom, after all.
I tell them it's too late; he has three records in the top 20, and has made other commitments. They beg me to help them find someone fast so the picture can be released on schedule. I tell them I'll help them out if they listen seriously to my suggestions. They tell me that veteran composer, Dominic Frontiere, has finished the score and all they need now is the title song.
I tell them I can not only get Joe Simon to write the title song to the film film, but also get a few potential hit singles by other hit artists from the label to include in the film and soundtrack. I also propose that WB records get the album rights to the singles, while the artist's original label gets the rights to the singles, which they will promote as usual..
WB records goes along with this unique marketing concept in an effort to get into the very lucrative, but closed, R&B market.
The next morning I meet with Roy and Julie Riffkind, who own the small successful Spring records, they're riding high on the R&B charts with Joe Simon ("The Chokin' Kind", "Drownin' In The Sea Of Love") who would be a perfect candidate to score, "Cleopatra Jones". While I'm in their office they play me a new single they're putting out by Millie Jackson, "Hurt So Good", which I think would be great for the film. I tell them the unique idea I had, that WB Records has already agreed to, and they say that it could work for them as well.
I tell Warner Brothers Films that Joe Simon is able to write, produce and record, "The Theme from Cleopatra Jones", next week which thrills them. When a letter of intent is drawn, I talk to Joe Simon and tell him about the film and the idea I had for a sweeping theme like the intro to the "Backstabbers".
Joe gets it completely, and when I go back to NY for the session, I'm totally blown away by the funky, yet majestic track he's recorded. When he starts to put the vocal on, Joe realizes that he hasn't written the lyric to the second verse.
He seems stumped as where go with the lyric and for the lack of time says he'll just repeat the first verse. I tell him he can't do that the record could be a classic. Then I scratch out a lyric that he loves and records on the spot.
After the session, Joe comes over, thanks me and says he wants me to have a piece of the writers share for my contribution to the song. I thank him and say that it wasn't my intention to muscle in, but I'll happily accept his generosity.
It's another story, however, when I get back to Hollywood. Ed is happy that the recording came out so well, but freaks out on me when he finds out that I'm a co-writer on the song. He says, "I don't believe you took advantage of the situation and forced your way into a piece of the writers share. Are you a professional manager or a writer?" I don't say anything, but go back to office and quietly fume.
I should've known something was wrong when I'm not invited to screening of, "Cleopatra Jones". When I go to see the film at a local theater, I hear the theme I played a part in"Theme From Cleopatra Jones" but wasn't allowed to take credit for, I hear Millie Jackson's "Hurt So Good", which is already racing up the charts, but when the film is over, my name is missing as musical consultant!
I'm absolutely livid, but when I confront Ed in my "Superfly" hat, he says he's sorry, but he can't do anything about it. I should talk to the producers. He refuses to do anything to help me in my unpaid extra curricular activity as a highly effective musical consultant, and wants me to return to just plugging songs at the company…Yeah…Right!"

A FEW BLACK MUSIC MILESTONES!
I was talking to my Spectropop pal Marva Holliday, an alumnus of Motown about my doing an article celebrating Black History Month, but from a different angle. She agrees with me that this past year has been amazing in terms of race relations in America. The media has so embraced the idea of our having an African American leader; they've given more face time not only to Blacks but all minorities!
Back in the '50s when I was a kid whenever a "colored" person appeared on television it was considered an event. When Nat "King" Cole got his own fifteen minute network TV show on NBC, every person of color had a new sense of pride and hope. Unfortunately that hope was dashed when the show was canceled for lack of full sponsorship. It hurt even more to find out that sponsors didn't want a "Negro" to be a spokesman for their product, which might offend their "White" customers.
In the '60s when our country was protesting against just about everything, a new voice of social consciousness emerged in Black music. At first recording artists would sneak "messages" into their music because record companies didn't want any part of anything that might lose customers…but then the floodgates of long repressed expression opened.

CELEBRATING A MILLION AND A HALF VISITORS TODAY!
I want to thank everyone who visited Artie Wayne on the Web and brought the total visitors to over a million and a half!
This site is devoted to music of the sixties to the present, our evolving pop culture, and whatever might be spinning around in my head at the time. I've always enjoyed turning people on and pissing people off and now I have my own forum to spread the word on the internet. In addition to that, over the past year I've used the power of blogging against the tyranny of some music business accounting practices, social network scamming, and the blatant disregard of consumer rights!
For example, for weeks I'd been calling and complaining to Time-Warner cable for sending me picture and sound out of synch', which forced me to watch "Dancing With The Stars" with everyone dancing off beat. As soon as I blogged about the problem and threatened to upload video tapes of what I was experiencing to YouTube, within six hours the problem was corrected…as my friend Paul Williams once said, "We've Only Just Begun".
I hope you'll continue to drop by to be informed, enlightened, and hopefully entertained.
Regards, Artie Wayne https://artiewayne.wordpress.com/about-artie-wayne/

PART 3 – TOMMY JAMES INTERVIEW…"ME, THE MOB, AND THE MUSIC"
As "Shadow" Mann I only had one album release, one single release, and a follow up that barely escaped. After performing at a Hubert Humphrey Rally in Times Square with Tommy James and the Shondells topping the bill, Morris Levy dropped me as an artist from the label.
It's been 42 years since I've been in touch with Tommy, and was excited when I heard he had dared to write a book about his experiences with Morris and Roulette Records called, "Me, The Mob, And The Music". He gave me an exclusive "no holds barred interview" where he made even more revelations than he did in his astonishing tell all autobiography!
Tommy- "in 1969, when crime boss Vito Genovese died in prison things were tense up at Roulette. All of a sudden they were having a lot of meetings with all the "boys", figuring out who his successor would be. Were they going to shoot up the place? Was there going to be a challenge? Morris brought me into his office I shook hands with Vincent "The chin "Gigante, "Fat Tony" Salerno (who Tony Soprano character was based on). I also shook hands with Quiet Don Cirillo, and Tommy Eboli (a/k/a) Tommy Ryan.
Morris had his hands on my shoulders and as he is introducing me to of these (notorious people) I felt like a puppet! I couldn't believe it and said to myself oops…this must be Hell!"
Artie – WOW!"
Then Tommy said he always wondered whatever happened to the "Shadow" Mann? When I told him that I moved to California in 1970, he asked if I heard about the gang wars in New York, between crime families, where 400 gang members were killed…I told him no and confessed that I hadn't finished the book.
Tommy – "It got so bad that Morris hid out in Spain for a year and left me and everybody at Roulette holding the bag. I had to make myself scarce and went to Nashville. All the details are in the book."
Artie – "Our pal, Brooks Arthur wanted me to ask you if you remember working on a album with him, while you're in the middle of re-negotiations and Morris comes into the studio and demands that you sign a new contract .
Tommy – " Yeah", Morris said, " Okay, the contract will say twelve percent, you're makin' eight,…I'm paying' you six!""
Artie – "I know you had a problem with drugs, and my friend, Gary Stromberg, who's written several books on addiction and appeared with Dr. Drew Pinsky VH1 on "Celebrity Rehab" Specials, wanted me to ask you , "Many artists falsely believe that drugs and alcohol are the sources of their creativity, and when they stop drinking and using they must confront their creativity without these substances"
Tommy – " I went into the Betty Ford Center for six weeks and have been clean since 1986! Being straight has been like floating on a pink cloud…I can accomplish so much more by being clear"
When Tommy speaks of his complex love/hate relationship with the late Morris Levy, who passed away 20 years ago he still gets emotional.
Tommy – "He asked to see me on his death bed, but I wasn't able to get to the hospital in time…something I've always regretted. If it wasn't for a Morris Levy,there wouldn't have been a Tommy James."
It's easy to understand what the excitement surrounding "Me, the Mob, and the Music" is all about. Tommy told me a deal has just been signed to bring his story and his music to Broadway by the producers of "Jersey Boys", and negotiations are nearly complete to bring it to the big screen.
After I thanked him for the interview, I took the opportunity to pitch an idea to develop a series of five minute segments for "Classic Hits" and college radio stations, with my friend, "Country" Paul Payton.
I'm happy to say that Tommy loves the idea and wants to work on it with us when he gets back from his promotional book tour.

DOUG FIEGER R.I.P. ROCK IN PERPETUITY!
I was shocked when I checked Facebook this morning and saw my longtime pal Ellen Feldman had posted that our friend Doug Fieger, lead singer of the Knack, and co-writer of "My Sharona", had passed away.
I worked with Doug in the studio helping on background parts when he was in the Sunset Bombers, a group DJ Scott Shannon and radio spot maker Joe Klein produced for Ariola Records. Doug was one of the most natural lead guitarists I've ever seen in the studio. He could emerge from driving a solid musical track track to playing a dazzling solo in a heartbeat, without overdubbing.
After the Sunset Bombers flew off into the horizon, I ran into Doug a few times at the Whiskey and the Starwood. He told me about a new band he was forming. A few months later Ellen Feldman, who was working at EMI records at the time, kept raving about this new group she wanted me to see, The Knack. You can imagine how happy I was to see Doug with a great band and a set that included "My Sharona."
The last time I saw Doug, it was after his first #1 record. We were having dinner at Martoni's Restaurant in Hollywood, with his girlfriend, Sharona and CBS' Allan Rinde. I remember we had a lot of laughs, hearing stories about the Knack on tour, but I don't remember much else, since I spent most of the night flirting with Susan Lucci at the next table.
Doug was always a positive person and years later, even though he knew he was fighting a losing battle with cancer he said to others who find themselves in similar circumstances, "Don't stop living your life. Do every possible thing you can to build up your body. Stop doing anything that might be hurtful to your body. Eat really well, exercise, stop smoking and stop eating junk food," he advises. "I'm here to tell you that you can get through it. I can't tell you it's fun. But going through it, I have to say, is nowhere nears as bad as the fear of going through it. The fear of having cancer is way worse than the reality of having cancer."
Respectfully, Artie Wayne

Q: Configure database connection in unit testing project's app.config file I want to configure the visual studio unit test project so that it connects to my sql server database.
I tried to extract the connection string from my project's web.config file:
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="myConnection" connectionString="Data Source=MyDataSource;Initial Catalog=MY_DB;User Id=USER;Password=PASSWORD;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

and to use it inside the unit testing project's app.config file:
<appSettings>
    <add key="myConnection" value="Data Source=MyDataSource;Initial Catalog=MY_DB;User Id=USER;Password=PASSWORD;"/>
</appSettings>

However the connection doesn't work, I would like to know how I can fix this.

A: To answer your question create the same
    connectionStrings tag in the app.config it will work. Copying from

Telemed, remote monitoring, robotics, social media represent true health reform
Finally, someone said it.
"[P]ublic discourse on health reform is almost entirely focused on the whole [the unsustainable costs and inadequate health outcomes] at the expense of a focus on the parts [improving the health outcomes of individual patients]. As a result, the debate has centered on the provider side [facilities and physicians] while essentially ignoring the accelerating role of technology and the expanding role of individual patients in the healthcare delivery system," Dr. Charles J. Shanley, associate CMO for Beaumont Hospitals in Michigan, and David Ellis, corporate director of planning and future studies at the Detroit Medical Center, write in the online version of Hospitals & Health Networks.
They tout telemedicine, remote monitoring and robotics as means of managing patients at home, potentially cutting down on expensive ER visits and rehospitalizations, and "sociomedical networking" on sites like PatientsLikeMe, 23andMe and SixUntilMe to help improve access to care. "These innovations will dramatically expand the role of the individual patient in the healthcare delivery system of the future. They will require dramatic workflow and structural changes to be efficient," write Shanley and Ellis. "Sociomedical networks are already emerging as a way to manage care effectively and inexpensively. They represent one model of a 'medical home.'"
In our new FiercePracticeManagement, editor Debra Beaulieu makes a similar case from the perspective of a patient and a parent. "How nice would it be if I could just beam our pediatrician a digital photo of a rash, describe any other symptoms and get a response--even if it's that I'll need to make an appointment--without necessarily having to haul both kids over there and inevitably bring the healthy one back with the germs of some other kid who couldn't resist smooshing his face right up against the giant fish tank?"
According to Shanley and Ellis, these forms of "postmodern medicine" help empower patients, but won't take hold until policymakers and healthcare executives are willing to make drastic changes. "Instead of gloom and doom, successful health leaders will see progress and opportunity. Instead of 'draconian cuts,' they will see 'intelligent investments.' The balance of debate will move away from the current emphasis on costs and toward benefits. There will be a little less emphasis on process and a lot more on outcomes," they say.

There are many stock trading terms you can find on this, my (best) online educational site. And also on other good online sites for traders. There is plenty of information that could be found and read during your process to learn online stock market trading.
Such education provides a really lot of stock market terms that could sometimes be overwhelming for anyone who is in the process of training to learn how to trade equity markets. There are many stock trading terms that must be learned to understand the basics of equity markets, how to analyze shares, sectors and major indexes, how to pick best stocks to buy or sell and also how to manage your trades.
Trade management techniques are an important part of equity market terminology for every type of trade. Every individual position in your broker account or in your investment portfolio should be managed. You must take care of them during the process, from opening of the trade until closing of any individual position.
If you are a beginner stock or ETF trader you could prefer to be more passive in trade management terms. It can make your first days or months of live trading easier. Define what you will decide about the trade management process only after stocks market close and avoid distractions by live price development during the day. Set your stop loss order and your profit taking order during the first minutes of exchange opening hours.
When you begin to be a more experienced equity trader or active investor you can start to be active in trade management during a trading day as well. You can define your regular intra-day routine that you will follow and manage your trades. You can define regular times when you will check quotes and charts in your online broker platform and decide what you could do. You define your own terms of management.
You can also incorporate usage of alerts in your broker platform that could help you in your online securities trades. They can provide you alerts if a share price moves into an area where some action is needed based on your trade management rules. Such trade management terms should be precisely defined in your business plan for your online trades and investments system.
It is also very good to use the time just before equity markets close to do regular analysis of price charts. It could help you to decide to close a trade before any of your target or stop loss levels are hit. If some broad market signals indicate strong trend reversal, then it could be wise to close most of your positions and wait for further development of share price quotes during the next sessions.
There is a common mistake of traders and investors that accompanies stock chart time-frames. Beginners focus on to a single time frame very often and forget to monitor other chart time frames – mostly higher time frames. They miss these important terms in their plan.
Many daytraders focus solely on 5-minute or 15-minute charts and do not check technical analysis charts with 4-hour or daily timeframe. It is important to include higher timeframes into stock market analysis software and also learn how to analyze these time frames during your technical analysis training.
Timeframes are critical for good results of your online securities trading, as they can help to identify two most important stock trading terms of technical charts – the support and the resistance levels.

Daniel Radcliffe's 'Harry Potter' Audition Proves He Deserved The Role (Video)
By Stacey Leasca
It's hard to imagine anyone other than Daniel Radcliffe playing the title role in the "Harry Potter" franchise.
It's almost as if Radcliffe was born to play the role. Now, in recently revived footage of Radcliffe's audition, we can all see why Radcliffe was chosen to play the part.
In the video above, an 11-year-old Radcliffe delivers what will ultimately be some of the film's most iconic lines. He's sweet, innocent and downright adorable. Who wouldn't cast this kid?
Check out little Daniel Radcliffe auditioning for the role of a lifetime, above.
