Who's the "Party Catalyst" on your block?
Recently, a 2002 This American Life episode called "Plan B" came up. The story was about a guy that worked as a Jose Cuervo "Party Catalyst." What's a party catalyst, you may ask, and how do you sign up? I congratulate your astute asking skills, Fellow Townie, because it is indeed a great question.
The perfectly-produced podcast goes on to explain (kinda) what Mr. CuervoMan does. Suffice it is to say, he hands out free alcohol and branded swag via his … different body parts. Before this blog disintegrates into a treatise on nakedness, let me assure you I bring all of this up for a reason: we need to give proper shout-outs to the neighbors and friends in H-Town who rock the party that rocks the body. Some of the Townies know just when we all need a good beer and grillin' out.
West Wilmot used to have a lot of block parties. We here on EW haven't had one here yet, but we definitely have our share o' fun. A few saturdays ago I had too much fun at the hands of our darn incorrigible ne'er-do-well neighbors that took about 2 days to get over (Not mentioning any names, but the last name ends with the long E sound). It just isn't hard to tell who the partiers are on our street, especially compared to the quiet ones. Thankfully we don't have crazy loud folks; everyone is respectful and keeps the din within acceptable decibels. We have only 13 houses on our street, so it can go either very wrong or very well. For the most part it goes well.
What about your street? Too quiet, too loud, or just right? Do you have one "party catalyst" who is always getting it going or does everyone take their turns boosting morale?

Title: Studies on the pathophysiology of bile acid-induced inflammatory airways disease
Author: Aldhahrani, Adil Abdullah
Awarding Body: Newcastle University
Current Institution: University of Newcastle upon Tyne
http://theses.ncl.ac.uk/jspui/handle/10443/3949
Background: Gastro-oesophageal reflux and aspiration may be associated with airway disease. Bile acid aspiration has been shown to be prevalent among patients with advanced airway disease, which raises the concern that recurrent microaspiration of bile acids may cause airway epithelial injury which may lead to inflammatory airway disease. Objectives: To investigate the possible links between bile acids and lung injury which may cause pro-inflammatory cytokine release using BEAS- 2B, NCI-H292, 16HBE14o- and Calu-3 cell lines. Moreover, this study aimed at exploring whether primary bronchial epithelial cell cultures taken from lung transplant patients (PHBECs), tracheal epithelial cells (upper airway cells) from the subglottic area cells, BEAS-2B and 16HBE14o- cell lines undergo EMT like processes after stimulation with primary and secondary bile acid. Finally, the role of duodeno-gastro-oesophageal refluxate in mucus production from NCI-H292 and Calu-3 cell lines was investigated. Methods: BEAS-2, 16HBE14o-, NCI-H292 and Calu-3 cell lines were cultured and stimulated with Bile acid (BAs). Pro-inflammatory markers including IL-8, IL-6 and GMCSF were measured. Primary bronchial epithelial cell cultures taken from lung transplant patients and tracheal epithelial cells from the subglottic area cells were cultured. The effect of individual primary and secondary bile acids were evaluated by 48 hour challenge. Post-challenge TGFβ1, MMP9 and pro-collagen concentrations were measured using commercial ELISAs. RNA was isolated to determine the changes in expression of an epithelial marker E-cadherin and the mesenchymal marker fibronectin at a molecular level using a quantitative real-time PCR. The NCI-H292 and Calu-3 cell lines were also used as an in vitro model system to study MUC gene regulation. Cells were stimulated with bile acids and mucin content of the culture medium measured using an indirect ELISA and quantitative real-time PCR was used to evaluate MUC5AC and MUC5B expression in NCI-H292 and Calu-3 cell lines. ii Results: The cells used in this study elevated levels of IL-8, IL-6 and GMCSF released after treatment by primary and secondary bile acids. IL-8, IL-6 and GM-CSF are common finding in airways and lung disease where reflux and aspiration have been implicated as a possible injury. Significantly greater concentration of TGFβ1, MMP9 and pro-collagen were measured in cultures of PHBEs, tracheal epithelial cells, BEAS-2B and 16HBE14o- cell lines treated with BAs. E-cadherin expression significantly decreased while fibronectin was significantly increased. MUC5AC and MUC5B levels were induced in response to stimulation of Calu-3 and NCI H292 cells with BAs. Conclusion: The NCI-H292, Calu-3, BEAS-2B and 16HBE14-o cell lines are sensitive and useful models to study human respiratory processes and diseases related to BAs aspiration-induced lung injury. Aspiration of bile acids may cause cell injury, inflammation and cell death relevant to the pathophysiology of chronic airways disease. Furthermore, Bile acids stimulated EMT related processed in PHBEC, tracheal epithelial cells, BEAS-2B and 16HBE14O-cell lines. The Calu-3 and NCI H292 cells can be used as an in vitro model system to study MUC5AC and MUC5B gene regulation.

Bring on the Badder Bad Guys, Part II: The Spectacular Spider-Man #185
Is it "Goo-Goo-Ga'joob!"
"One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small"?
Jibes about "I am the Walrus" and "White Rabbit" aside, this is what you get when you allow a masterful storyteller to combine with a wonderful artist.
Oh I know this is part of the "Badder Bad Guys" section of the Crapbox, but in this one instance the title is self-assigned. Just look at that cover blurb.
"Another Fine Mess", scripted by none other than Justice League funny-man J.M. DeMatteis, follows Spider-Man in a tale that is a complete hoot as ole web-head deals with a would-be superhero by the name of Eugene Patilio. Eugene is the son of Vincent Patilio, a retired supervillain who went by the moniker Leap-Frog. Eugene has acquired a souped up version of his Father's suit and taken to calling himself…well, I wouldn't want to spoil the introduction to our tale.
Would you believe me if I said a guy in a giant frog suit wasn't the weirdest thing in this issue? No? Okay, then. You've been warned at least.
Eugene wants to be a hero in the most earnest way possible. He's not in it for glory, but you feel he is guileless and just wants to help. DeMatteis has stated that Frogman is one of his all-time favorite characters to write and it is clear he has a lot of fun with him.
Who doesn't have fun with Frogman/Eugene is Spider-man, who tries to discourage the young man from following in his footsteps. A summation of their exploits together might shed some light on why he feels that way. The newly minted Frogman has had run-ins with Spidey before, and those ended with Spidey pulling his fat out of the frying pan.
Not to mention, in "Spectaular" at this time has Parker currently struggling with friend Harry Osborn taking a turn for the worse by donning the mask and outfit vacated by his father. So Spidey is dealing with finding his friend suddenly becoming an insane version of the Green Goblin.
Spider-man has no time to deal with Eugene.
Yeah, Spider-man will have to save Frogman from going splat.
Art chores are submitted by the ever-present Sal Buscema doing work on both pencils and inks. There is lots to love about his panels here, specifically because his inks tend to be very minimalist. The style and tone put me in mind of Walt Simonson's work and I'm not quite sure if that's because Sal worked with him on his Thor run or if there isn't some genuine commonality between the two's art. It is a question we can ponder at a later time. Spidey has a Frog to save!
The neat reversal of years of Spidey comics (being that we have Parker in the mature, adult role and a new kid in the role of "starting superhero") isn't lost on me. And the art and scripting have so grabbed ahold by where we are here on page three that I've just let go of the handlebars and begun coasting enjoyably to the end of this tale.
But before I take off down the hill, let's have the reason for this issue's inclusion in the ranks of Bad-Guys-that-are-just-plain-bad drop in on us:
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you The Walrus.
Cab driver Hubert Carpenter (in a clever aside to Lewis Carroll, obviously) underwent a mysterious experimental process created by his Uncle to endow himself with the Walrus powers way back in a DeMatteis scripted Defenders #131. Eugene was along for the ride on that outing too, which concluded in an ignominious end for our tusked friend. Right now he's back in town with a plan for a comeuppance.
And that plan involves the woman who will be his new partner, this little lady…
The White Rabbit! Not to be confused by the villainess found in DC's early Steel series. No, she's way more kooky…and crazy.
On the surface she appears to be nothing more than a knock-off Penguin. And not even the murderous Penguin from DC's late 80-90's, but the earlier 60-70's era Penguin where he was little more than a prop umbrella and a waddle.
As she blasts the Walrus right in his rainbow-hued logo, I begin to admit that she seems a tad bit MORE insane than the Penguin ever was. However she stinks of the odor of dangerous and crazy thrillseeker not that of serious threat at this point.
And besides, she fits our Alice in Wonderland theme, so just go with it.
The above abrupt disregard for safety appears to start things off on the wrong foot with our tusked-but-slow-witted friend.
She quickly turns things around. And so witness the christening of a new group to rival the Sinister Six or the Frightful Four…
Uh, yeah. That's pretty awful. No supergroup has ever been confused with what you call a troublesome toddler before.
As for her explanation? It will have to wait for a bit as the story takes another turn.
I do have to stop and ask: Come on, surely these two are no match for Spider-Man? I mean, he could web them both up in one swing-by. If ever there was a lopsided battle card, this one would be it. And speaking of Spider-Man, Parker and Mary Jane have a little convo about his alter-ego bumping into Eugene…
Mary Jane is so much the supportive girlfriend here, ending up forcing Peter to RSVP at Eugene's for dinner.
Parker relents after saying it would be nice to see Eugene's Dad, the original Leap-Frog, who reminds him very much of his own Uncle Ben.
Have to take a moment out here and just say AGAIN that DeMatteis and Buscema pair so well in this tale. Parker's frazzled look, the comedic poses/lines upon the Frogman encounter contrasted to Spider-Man's own iconic look/barbs, and a story that allows all of these elements to shine…
I don't read Spider-Man books currently, but the crapbox spits them out occasionally. Dan Slott is about the only writer I've seen who has crafted stories on par with this issue from the current crop of Spider-scribes. Unless the ones my random sampling come across are wrong, it is a damn shame too. Spidey deserves a writer in tune with all the elements of the character, including the absurd nature of his powers and a true understanding of his backstory and cast.
And the ability to mix in a little humor now and again.
Anyway, his attendance is settled by MJ.
Eugene excitedly tells his Aunt Marie and his Pop to expect a Spider for dinner. It goes over in this amazing kind of "slice of Italian homelife" way. Love the parallels that are setup between Peter's upbringing and Eugene's as well. Such a fun story.
And it only gets better as Peter arrives as Spider-Man.
I have to admit that this "Spider-Man comes to dinner' storyline has some of the best payoffs I've ever seen.
From the look on everyone's faces as they welcome the hero into their home…
…to the "shop talk" about superhero biz…
…right up to this part where we have an awkward moment that shifts us to more mundane topics.
All of this is such a credit to DeMatteis' scripting. So, so good!
But back to our Badder-Bad Guys: the White Rabbit drives her Rabbit car (yes, this is the 1960s again) into Frogman's territory while explaining her evil scheme. An evil scheme that even the Walrus can tell is quite idiotic.
And as the White Rabbit starts making a ruckus, her tubby companion has even more doubts.
For a dumb guy, the Walrus asks some pretty smart questions.
Unfortunately, he's not bright enough to answer his own query and give up being half of this duo of dumbness. Instead he pitches in and starts tossing around lampposts.
All this brings out the news media which gets their actions broadcast on TV, which happens to be on in the Patilio living room....
Which in turn DOES actually work according to the White Rabbit's plan, drawing out Frogman…but not before Spider-Man ducks out on his hosts to tackle them alone. Unfortunately for the White Rabbit she's bitten off way more carrot than she can chew.
But before the Terrible Two can move on to the order of frog legs, there's a little matter of a spider-appetizer they will have to deal with. Parker starts by disarming White Rabbit of her carrot ammoed pea-shooter…
…but gets a bit distracted fighting the Walrus.
With a line like that, is it any wonder? I mean strength I kind of get. Those blubber-packed tusk monsters look to be horribly massive and you figure they've got to have muscles to move all that bulk. But fast? In the water, maybe. On dry land, those beasties barely chalk up a waddle.
Parker finds this all too amusing and the next thing you know…
…WHAMMO!
Lucky for Spidey help is on the way. After a humorous intro, that is.
I'm all mile-wide grin at this point. So Eugene takes on Walrus and it is glorious.
That final panel is almost cover-worthy. With all the work done to endear us to Frogman, there is a bit of emotional resonance to it as well. Goes to show that even the silliest concepts can bring you to your feet if presented in an enjoyable way.
The battle is not over yet! Appears the White Rabbit has a backup umbrella and still harbors a mad-on for Frogman. Eugene over-hops and loses control, making himself a sitting duck.
Fear not! All isn't lost. Before Spidey can swing into action, a second Frogman appears. Although this one is barely in control of his powers.
It doesn't take much to knock White Rabbit off course. When Spider-man looks confused, the first Frogman reveals himself to be none other than Vinnie. He upgraded his original frog-suit and beat Eugene in arriving. The second Frogman is Eugene, of course, still working the kinks out of his jump boots, but still enough in control to take down the woman trying to kill his Pops.
And we'd wrap up things right there, except someone in the Bullpin must have realized that Spidey hadn't gotten any licks in all issue, so they kindly woke up the Walrus and pointed him in the Frogmen's direction.
But one flick of a Spider-enhanced finger muscle and he's back down again.
This was such a great find! Humor AND Heart AND Heroics. The Spectacular title may not have received as much notice as Amazing, but I've enjoyed the 70's and 80's version of the title whenever it crossed my path. Maybe someday the Crapbox will come across my first encounter with it, a book that featured the greatness of the Hypno-Hustler. Until then, hop on down to the back issue bins and see if you can score a few.
You'll be glad you did.

Rain! Heavy rain! The sky is as black as the ace of spades. Who is scripting this?
I haven't a clue what is going to happen.
Toyota have given up the hunt, under fears they don't have enough fuel, or doesn't want to risk it in the conditions. Buemi allows Kristensen to lap him again, so that seems to be it.
#2 Audi wins the 2013 24 hours of Le Mans. It is the ninth for Kristensen, third for McNish, and first for Duval. Twelfth for Audi.
So, the 90th anniversary of the world's greatest sports car race. How will people remember this year's race?
Will it be remembered for Audi taking their twelfth victory, and Tom Kristensen his ninth?
Will it be remember for Toyota putting up a fight that no-one expected, given everyone had written their chances off before the race began?
For Audi being less bullet proof than we all imagined for a second year in a row?
For the unpredictable weather, that constantly changed throughout the course of the race and kept everyone guessing up until the final half hour?
For the fantastic GTE Pro battle that raged all race between Porsche and Aston Martin?
Porsche taking a largely unexpected one-two with their new 991 shaped 911 RSRs?
Aston Martin, for continuing racing when no-one would have begrudged them for stopping, only to very nearly win?
Sadly, due to the tragic events of Saturday, the race is unlikely to be remembered for any of those things, or the many other great stories up and down the pit lane.
The 2013 24 hours of Le Mans will be remembered for the first death since (depending on who you talk to) 1986/1997.
The racing world has not just a hugely talented GT driver, but a great bloke who was well liked and respected by his colleagues and rivals.
Rest in Peace, Allan Simonsen.
Like you called it, James..
I know this is going to sound harsh, but if motorsport is too much for you, then so too should anything be involving a car. More people are going to die going to die driving to work in the next hour than there will be fatalities in motorsport for the whole year.
Difference here being is that the schmuck driving to work doesn't expect to be killed in a car smash. He is neither prepared mentally for it, nor does he drive a car offering any form of real surviviability. The race car driver that gets into a race car knows full well that they might not get back out again. It is a risk that they take. It is a risk that their families let them take.
When I get into the c#ckpit of my car, I sometimes very briefly think about it, and think about my daughter. But I still strap in, and lock and load 125Hp to my back, quite literally.
If NASA had stopped when they had the fire on the launch pad, then you'd have never have had the Space Shuttles.
You can't stop doing or liking something becuase someone, somewhere, gets hurt or killed. That's just life.
It doesn't make their loss of life meaningless, but don't make what they did meaningless, otherwise you make them meaningless.
It doesn't sound harsh. I think it makes sense, though I'm not saying racing should stop (which seemed to be your interpretation with the NASA remark), and I'd contest that no one has ever derived meaning in their life from whether or not I liked something.
Nevertheless, my point is this: I'm not denying that things happen all the time to everyone in every situation. I'm just one who believes in spending free time in a way that creates enjoyment and satisfaction. Every time these things happen, I get less and less enjoyment from motor racing to the point that I question if I would get more enjoyment using the time doing something else. Death is reality, but watching death happen doesn't need to be my hobby.
Yes, I watched F1 today. People are complex and thoughts and action can disconnect. My thinking was that, we have that month-long break in August. I'd hate to not watch F1 now based on recent events, and then get over it in August and regret that. So, I'll wait until August, when I have no racing to watch and thus will need to do something else anyway, to do the heavy thinking about whether or not I need a new interest.
But I think my point stands that for me, personally, as one single person, individually...there is no sense is devoting so much time to something that I don't enjoy, and I'm struggling to say I enjoy this sport much anymore. It's hard to say "I like (such-and-such racing series)" when all of them are creating clear safety vulnerabilities. It's not eliminating what you can't eliminate; people will die in race cars, always. But it's doing everything in your ability, and no racing series, not one, is doing that. They're all letting things slide. Monaco, Daytona, Le Mans, Indianapolis...they're the most dangerous tracks on the calendar and they get a pass because they're the "big events." You have NASCAR refusing to install SAFER barriers around the entire track despite requests from drivers. You have the ACO letting Le Mans become totally outdated; someone gets hurt there, seriously, every single year. You have IndyCar saying we need to break the track record at Indianapolis when 230 mph+ averages have been present in all of the recent fatalities at that track. You have this tire issue now in F1...it just starts to get frustrating past the point of sitting down and enjoying it. For me. Personally. As one person. It is no commentary on racing, or racing fans, or anything. Just on me.
Sorry to ruin your thread.

Матвей Петрович Бакин (1869 — после 1916) — врач-хирург, депутат Государственной думы III созыва от Вятской губернии.

Биография
Русский, православный, казак по происхождению.

Образование
Окончил Оренбургскую духовную семинарию и Казанскую духовную академию. После поступил на медицинский факультет Казанского университета, который окончил в 1900 году.

Врачебная карьера
В 1900 году претендовал на место врача в Челябинской городской больнице, но ему было отказано в связи с отсутствием стажа и опыта. С того же 1900 года три года проработал ординатором факультетской хирургической клиники Казанского университета. Служил врачом в земстве уезда Малмыжского уезда Вятской губернии. Заведующий хирургическим отделением городской мамлыжской больницы  с жалованием 1800 рублей в год. В Русско-японскую войну около года служил в Красном Кресте, заведуя сначала одним из подвижных госпиталей, а затем временно канцелярией главноуполномоченного южного района в Мукдене и тоже временно исполняющего должность заведующего медицинского частью этого района. В 1905 году, вернувшись в Россию, снова поступил на место врача в Мамлыже.

Работа в Государственной Думе
Был выборщиком при выборах в Думу II созыва, но избран не был.

14 октября 1907 года избран в Государственной думы III созыва от общего состава выборщиков Вятского губернского избирательного собрания. Вошёл в состав конституционно-демократической фракции. Член думских комиссий по рыболовству, по исполнению государственной росписи доходов и расходов, по рабочему вопросу. Поставил подпись под законопроектом «О наделении безземельных и малоземельных крестьян землёй», «Об обеспечении отдыха торгово-промышленных служащих», «О распространении земского положения на Область войска Донского», «О введении земства в Сибири», «О порто-франко в устьях Оби и Енисея», «Об учреждении землеустроительных комиссий в степных областях».

После Государственной Думы
В 1911 году Бакину (ещё депутату Государственной Думы) было дано разрешение на постройку собственного деревянного дома в Челябинске на 6 комнат в 42 квартале (усадьба 653) по улице Мастерской площадью 40 квадратных сажень. С июня  1912 года и до 8 февраля 1914 года М. П. Бакин вёл частный хирургический прием в своём доме по адресу Челябинск, ул. Мастерская, д. 51.

Занимался и общественной работой. 18 мая 1914 года в Народном доме под председательством Бакина прошло собрание сочувствующих содержимой на счет общественных пожертвований школы рукоделия. Бакин вошёл в комиссию для выработки устава и положения о школе вместе с Боровковой, Агаповой, Заплатиной, Бакалинской, Сервилиным и Букреевым.

В Уральском торгово-промышленном адрес–календаре за 1915 год Бакин числится вольнопрактикующим врачом в Челябинске, но иных сведений о деятельности в Челябинске во время Первой мировой войны нет.

В 1916 году служил старшим врачом третьего подвижного лазарета Красного Креста на Кавказском фронте, в частности, был занят приёмом ассирийских беженцев в районах Дильмана и Хосрова. В Российском медицинском списке упоминается вплоть до 1916 года.

Дальнейшая судьба и дата смерти неизвестны.

Семья

Helping Others Helps the Helper
Maria E. Pagano, PhD
Maria E. Pagano, PhD, is a psychologist and an associate professor of psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland. She also is a recipient of a career development award funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. www.HelpingOthersLiveSober.org
It feels good to be a Good Samaritan, of course. But there's more to the story—because science reveals that being of service to others brings numerous health benefits. Maria E. Pagano, PhD, an associate professor of psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, has investigated the helper therapy principle (HTP), which is based on the concept that when people help others, they are also helping themselves—particularly when the helper and the recipient of that help share a common malady. Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly published her recent review article on the topic. Among the evidence cited were studies showing that…
People with chronic pain who counseled other pain patients reported a significant decrease in their own symptoms of pain and depression.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients who were trained to have monthly 15-minute supportive phone conversations with other MS sufferers showed improvement in self-confidence and self-esteem as well as reduced depression.
Alcoholics who helped other alcoholics were almost twice as likely to stay sober in the year following treatment…had lowered levels of depression in the three months after they started helping other alcoholics…and had significantly improved self-image. Dr. Pagano explained, "Helping others with a desire to live sober transforms the helper's dark past and pain to greater good and enables him or her to be uniquely helpful to a fellow sufferer."
While service to fellow sufferers is a cornerstone of 12-step programs of recovery, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Dr. Pagano noted that it is not necessary to share a common health problem in order to benefit from doing good. For instance, helping others in general has been linked with longer life, less depression, higher self-esteem and greater life satisfaction.
Bottom line: For a "helper's high" and a significant health boost, lend a helping hand to someone in need.

CTU Speaks Out Against New Police Union President: It's Time to "Draw the Line" of Union Solidarity
By Daniel Johanson on May 11, 2020
photo by Charles Edward Miller
The Chicago Police Union recently elected it's newest president, Officer John Catanzara, a Trump Supporter who was stripped of his police powers after he filed a report against former Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson when Johnson took part in an unsanctioned anti-violence protest in July 2018 that closed down the Dan Ryan Expressway.
President Trump took to Twitter this afternoon to congratulate him personally. Catanzara reportedly has been disciplined nearly 50 times by police leadership.
Many show concern not only for his actions as an individual, but for the statement it makes that the police union as a whole would throw their support behind someone like Catanzara.
I trust this is more than simply drawing the line! I'm concerned about Catanzara but far more concerned about a union that would choose Catanzara. Is that really all they have in the leadership stable: Catanzara or Graham. This is deeply, deeply distressing.
— Jon Schmidt (@jjschmidt6767) May 10, 2020
The Chicago Teachers' Union took to Twitter as well to express that they do not stand in solidarity with the Police Union, especially after being endorsed by President Trump.
There's an unwritten code of #solidarity among unions, even those that don't always see eye to eye politically. But if you had to draw the line somewhere, this would be it. https://t.co/PgHbHULiik
— ChicagoTeachersUnion (@CTULocal1) May 10, 2020
Catanzara won a runoff election on Friday to become the next president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7 by defeating incumbent Kevin Graham. He received close to 55% of the vote, garnering 4,709 votes to Graham's 3,872, according to the union.
Catanzara has a lengthy history of complaints filed against him in his 25 years as a Chicago cop. Records obtained by the Tribune show he had at least 35 complaints against him through mid-2017, many for personnel violations. He's also been suspended several times in his career, and past superintendents have tried twice to fire him.
In August 2008, then-Superintendent Jody Weis sought Catanzara's firing on allegations that he did not follow orders to complete a psychological exam, according to Chicago Police Board records. But in February 2009, the board cleared Catanzara in a 5-3 decision.
He also in 2017 was reprimanded for posting on Facebook his disapproval of the NFL protests for racial equity made famous by Colin Kaepernick. The photo featured a Chicago police vehicle.
As Catanzara begins his tenure, the FOP's path toward a new contract proceeds amid court-ordered reforms that began last year to improve Chicago's disciplinary system overseeing police misconduct allegations, as well as the training and supervision of CPD officers.

Bringing Native American Values and Priorities to Museums, Art Organizations, and Institutions
Staff & Affiliates
School of Advanced Research and Indian Arts Research Center- Santa Fe, NM
Project: Development of "Standards of Excellence for Museums with Native American Collections (SEMNAC)"
Many museums with Native collections seek to engage in meaningful dialogue with descendent communities in an effort to better represent their histories and cultures and are perplexed or daunted by this work. The Standards of Excellence for Museums with Native American Collections (SEMNAC) is a comprehensive document for use by museums with Native collections for the purpose of clarifying their roles as stewards and ultimately to improve the museum field as it relates to Native American peoples, communities, and cultural items. The SEMNAC document will provide support for institutions to become true community partners, enabling them to connect collections with descendant communities for more meaningful, relevant and culturally sensitive interpretation and documentation. The SEMNAC document will integrate the Museums and Communities/Communities and Museums Guidelines set forth by the School for Advanced Research, Indian Arts Research Center as its foundation and expand upon these by aligning it with AAM's Standards of Excellence. The final SEMNAC document will serve to guide all aspects of work within museums holding Native collections, for the purpose of educating governing and executive boards and staff, collections and curatorial staff as well as education, development, security and volunteers. In addition, it will provide a step by step guide for communication, public engagement and visitor experience. The document will set forth a set of tools that will enable museums to move confidently in the direction of decolonizing and sensitizing practices.
Emphasize the enormous responsibility and accountability inherent in the stewardship of Native collections
Educate the museum field about the damaging colonial legacy of collecting and provide strategies for culturally relevant and appropriate care of these items as well as pathways for outreach to descendant communities
Provide support for Native American museum professionals, staff, board members, volunteers
Address the lack of cultural knowledge and sensitivity that has historically characterized museums with Native collections and their audiences, recognizing that Native collections have meaning that goes beyond western interpretation
Motivate museums toward Native collaboration
(Completion date December 2020)

Q: Implement JavaScript's style of optional parameter in Python JavaScript style
Suppose I have a function takes two objects as optional parameters input, and some of the args in the objects has default value, in JavaScript, I may implement it like this:
function func(setting1, setting2){
    arga = setting1.a || 1;
    argb = setting2.b || 2;
    argc = setting2.c;
    ...
}

Python implementation
There's some ideas comes to my mind, but i think none of them is actually "good".

Here's the first one:
params = {"arga":2, "argb":3}
def func(argc, arga=1, argb=2):
    ...
func(**params)

The question is, this type of implementation cannot support the semantic i want, that is, the setting1 and setting2 need two be separated since they serve for different sub-procedures. Also, It need to manually choose the default parameters's position carefully.

Here's the second one:
def func(setting1, setting2):
    try:
        arga = setting1.a
    except KeyError:
        arga = 1
    ...

I think it's quite ugly.

Maybe this is the best one:
def func(setting1, setting2):
    arga = setting1.get("a") or 1
    argb = setting1.get("b") or 2
    ...

Is there any good way to implement this in python?

A: Not sure what you mean by ugly, but this is closest to what you want I think:
def func(setting1 = None, setting2 = None):
    setting1 = "a" if setting1 is None else setting1
    setting2 = "b" if setting2 is None else setting2

Note there is no real point to this in Python, since it supports default parameters and keyed calls, so
def func(setting1 = "A", setting2 = "B"):

called with
func(setting2="C")

will set only the second setting, and use default for the first. Of course, if the default involves a function call then you have to use your solution.

A: If settingN is a dict, you can do this:
argZ = settingN.get('z', default_value)

So, if settingN doesn't have the key 'z', default_value will be returned.

The paper does assume an allocator that knows how to use pages wisely.

Maybe that will make it to C++0x, I haven't checked yet.

Dutch Socialists Struggle to Claim Mantle of Left-Wing Purists
The far-left Socialists attempt to distinguish themselves from Labor by ruling out a coalition with the right.
The Dutch Socialist Party has ruled out joining a government led by the liberal prime minister, Mark Rutte, after the election in March, saying the differences between them are too great.
On everything from labor policy to health care to taxes, the two could hardly be further apart.
But that didn't stop the Socialists from leaving open the possibility of forming a government with Rutte fours years ago.
The difference is that their competitor on the left, the Labor Party, formed a coalition with the liberals in 2012 instead. Now the Socialists seek to claim the mantle of left-wing purists.
Swipe at Labor
Labor is down in the polls, but the Socialists haven't been able to draw many disaffected leftists to their side. They hover around fifteen seats in the polls, which is how many they have now. By ruling out support for another liberal-led government, they hope to boost their popularity.
In a swipe at Labor, Socialist Party leader Emile Roemer told supporters in Tilburg on Saturday: "If you want to mobilize socially-minded voters, you don't play your cards close to your chest. You offer a real and fair choice."
He called on other left-wing parties, including the Greens — who have gained from Labor's collapse — to commit to forming a left-wing coalition if those parties win a majority of 76 seats or more.
The Socialists call for such a pact every election. Every time they are rebuffed by Labor, which can't afford to scare away centrist voters.
Blue-red culture war
Despite Roemer's rhetoric and his party's less compromising platform, the Socialists have the same electoral problem as Labor: Both have not only lost voters to other left-leaning parties, notably the Greens and the liberal Democrats; they have both lost supporters to Geert Wilders' nationalist Freedom Party and a new seniors party called 50Plus as well.
The Labor Party and the Socialists are both caught up in the culture war that pits cosmopolitans against communitarians. Neither party has taken sides in this new political divide, as a result of which they satisfy no one.
Urban college graduates prefer the unapologetic internationalism of the liberal Democrats and the environmentalism of the Greens. Small-town and more traditional voters see 50Plus and Wilders as the more reliable protectors of the welfare state.
Competing on the wrong turf
For the Socialists to lure back such voters, they would need to emphasize their Euroskepticism and rediscover their former doubts about immigration.
Like the Corbynistas in England, however, activists in the Dutch Socialist Party seem more interested in social-justice issues that fail to enthuse the people they claim to represent.
The Socialists risk becoming the new Labor — but without the center-left policies to make them palatable to middle-class voters.
Of all the left-wing parties in the Netherlands, the Socialists still have the most credibility to compete with the nostalgics of the Freedom Party and 50Plus. But if those are the voters they're after, they need to start competing on those parties' turf.

In der Prophase I der Meiose kommt es zur Verkürzung der Chromosomen, so dass diese lichtmikroskopisch sichtbar werden. Die homologen Chromosomen paaren sich in dem zygotänen Stadium dieser Phase. Sie legen sich parallel aneinander (Synapsis), so dass sie mit den einander entsprechenden Genorten exakt nebeneinander liegen. Im Pachytän überkreuzen sich an manchen Stellen die Schenkel von paternalen und maternalen Chromosomenarmen und es kommt zum Crossing-over. Anschließend löst sich der synaptonemale Komplex wieder auf. Im Diplotän dieser Prophase lockert sich die Parallelkonjugation der gepaarten Chromosomen soweit, dass die Stellen der Überkreuzungen zytologisch sichtbar werden. Diese Stellen nennt man Chiasmata, sie sind die Folge von Crossing-overs.

Sorrel Muggridge and Laura Nanni collaborative art projects
Our artworks deal with journeys, distance and translation of space. At the root of our artistic practice is a cartographic process constructed through walking, exploring and composing an understanding of our physical and psychological topography by foot. This blog acts as a growing archive of our process and also a site for discussion and participation.
A look back at our collaborative creations
Laura and I are in the process of devising two new projects and as part of that we have been reflecting on our collaborations to date. So we have decided to share this relection here.
Our project is in its early stages but our process for this work is being heavery impacted by our new time difference of 8hrs. Laura in Banff myself in Norfolk.

2360 Miles Travelled Hand to Heart - Going the DISTANCE in Newcastle
"This is the last leg of our journey.
This has been our attempt to feel distance, to know it, to be able to hold on to it and really feel it.
The distance we are working with is equal to 100th of the way to the moon.
Half way to the centre of the earth.
OR from Newcastle to the North Pole…
Nearly.
And that distance is 3,798km or 2,360 miles.
It's a pretty specific number and the reason is that it is the distance that links three places:
Riga to London, London to Newcastle and Newcastle back to Riga.
To capture this distance in the room we're working with this distance on a human scale represented in rope.
So, if you clasp the rope in your hand and make a fist knuckle up,
The amount you have in your hand is equal to 1km.
Now because this distance is large we want to count it using a larger measure so if you place your left hand on your heart and stretch your right arm out, from the tip of your finger to your heart is approximately 1 metre. So for our purposes, from your hand to your heart is equivalent of 10 km."
Walking in Newcastle: We followed directions of the global journey between these three cities, interpreting them on the streets of Newcastle. Each participant wore a pedometer, keeping track of their distance travelled.
The Last Count: We measured the rope, counting hand to heart, and gathered in our arms (with the help of our audience), 380 meters, representing the 2360 or 3798km the distance from Riga and London, London to Newcastle and back to Riga.
Together, we measured hand by hand and cut from this, the 52km collectively travelled by all those who took part in the walks in the three cities.
52 hands.
52 kms travelled.

The journey began in Riga
Over the course of September-November, we are presenting our latest project: '2360 Miles Travelled Hand to Heart', as part of DISTANCE, a mobile festival featured in three locations this year: Riga, London and Newcastle.
Our ambition is to physicalize the distance between these three locations: 3789km. So in Riga, accompanied by audio of Laura's steps in Toronto, I measured out a scaled-down version of this distance in rope. Each metre (roughly the distance of our hand to our hearts) represented 10km of the global journey from Riga to London and London to Newcastle and Newcastle back to Riga. In Toronto, Laura walked a scaled version of this journey, counting 2 of her steps for every km.
Then began the walking, our attempt to erode this distance by taking walks in each of the locations with audiences, following directions that represent the global journey over Europe and the UK.
We crossed borders, changed time zones...
followed water...
and arriving again at our Riga, our journey's end, we measured how far we had travelled. The distance each person travelled was then cut from the measured rope.
Each step travelled helped erode the distance.
11 participants and several km travelled
and many more to go! London here we come...
Riga see you soon
I am packing my bags for Riga where our journey officially begins. I wanted to say thank you to all the brilliant people who have generously donated rope for this new artwork.
Thank you to Ivan in Yorkshire for the retired theatre rope. Thank you to Holly from number 83, and Holly's dad who raided his shed. Thank you to Celia and the retired garden swing. Thank you for the donations from Canada and the beautiful coil of practice Knots left on Laura's door step. Finally a huge thank you to Gandrs in Riga who have donated a stunning quantity of climbing rope to help us reach our target amount.
Each of these ropes have individually had many journeys of their own, but together they will now form a new journey. - one taken from Hand to Heart - a journey from Riga to London and London to Newcastle and back again to Riga.
2360 MILES: Rope Required
We are currently appealing to organizations and individuals to donate their used and retired rope for a performance we are creating for the Homo Novus (Riga, Latvia), LIFT (London, UK) and Wunderbar Festival (Newcastle, UK), for DISTANCE, this autumn.
Any lengths of rope that have finished their working life, could new have a new life in this artwork, 2360 Miles Traveled Hand to Heart. Central to our project, which is projected to reach thousands of viewers, will be a large rope installation with donations from our host cities (Riga, London, Newcastle). Each length of rope will be tied end to end to form a scaled representation of 2360 miles (the cumulative distance between the three cities where the performance will be showcased). We require 380 meters of rope in total. This is where you come in.
We are hoping to source rope from climbing centres, theaters, and boatyards like your own. The rope will simply be measured out and coiled, therefore we are able to use rope that is no longer suitable for load-bearing or tethering.

In order to start building he piece, we will need the rope by August 26th, 2011. If you have any lengths of rope that you can spare for our project please let us know via email: sorrelandlaura@gmail.com, with details of your location and details of the rope (i.e. colour, approximate width and length, etc.) and we will arrange for pick up or drop off at a central location.
For more information on the project, please see below. Feel free to forward to others who may be able to help.

DISTANCE is a mobile performance festival that brokers connections between festivals, artists,
audiences and ideas across the world. It seeks to create new connections between festival
communities by commissioning performances that are developed and experienced across a
network of festivals. This year, DISTANCE connects Homo Novus, LIFT and Wunderbar, 3
festivals located in Riga (Latvia), London (UK) and Newcastle (UK) over a duration of 3 months.
These festivals share an ambition to bring internationally significant artists to their festivals and
create memorable experiences for, and with, their audiences.
DISTANCE uses the physical, temporal and cultural distance between each festival as a starting
point for exploring new ways for artists to make performances in an international context, and to
consider new ways for audiences to experience international performance.
DISTANCE is led by Joon Lynn Goh and Simone Kenyon. In 2010, DISTANCE was established as
an independent festival through a collaboration between Third Party and Stoke Newington
International Airport. This year, DISTANCE goes mobile, with an ambition of forging regional and
international artistic communities.

Space in Translation: From Here to There in 9 directions and 15,640 steps
walking process/ mixed media, 2011
Our latest work featured in the Plotting a City exhibition curated by Patrick Macaulay at Harbourfront Centre, Toronto.
We have been collaborating long-distance (usually with an ocean between us) for over four years. Individually, our practices have always responded to our preoccupations with human geography and site specificity. Collaboratively, our works embrace the unusual and inspiring consequences of the distance between us. We create site-specific artworks that articulate the value in wandering and being curious, that discover and communicate a sense of place; investigating how people understand and connect with their surroundings.
With Space in Translation: From Here to There in 9 directions and 15,640 steps, we embarked on a shared process of walking, journey making/taking and mapping while in separate cities. Laura began at the intersection of King and Queen St. west in Toronto and walked to Harbourfront Centre, transcribing directions based on landmarks that stood out to her along the way. These directions were passed to Sorrel, who in turn followed them in Norwich UK, beginning at the spot where King and Queen St. meet in her city. The rules given: trust the directions as you follow them and enjoy the possibilities while interpreting them; ask for help from those around you when need it; and record your number of steps taken. The resulting map is a distillation of our journey. 1 cm = 125 steps.

The Perfect Place to Meet Anywhere
This weekend we invite you to find the perfect place to meet; no matter where you are. We've created a set of directions that should help you get there.
1. Start at the train station, by the steps, facing the art centre. Here, turn right and walk to the end of the street.
2. Pass the bush with berries and sign of higher education.
3. Turn left, heading for what might be a library.
4. Pass the bird house and a drawing in rust. (At the junction look back the way you have come).
5. Keep going towards the building with rainbow colours on it. When you reach it, turn right.
6. Continue for approximately 561 steps, or past 14 hazard signs, or until you hit the bench on your left. Here, follow the railing down.
7. Now step on to softer ground and head for the blue; keep straight seeing the sky touch down to meet you.
These directions are written from real observations and places, but meant for open translation and creative interpretation. Have fun, explore and play!
Postcards are available at the Norwich Art Centre's Live Art event. http://norwichartscentre.co.uk/afterlive/
When you reach your final destination, use the blank side to record where you are: the shapes, sounds, objects and textures or features that make up your surroundings.
Where will you arrive? How about your neighbour... or the stranger in another city?
If you are without a postcard, we encourage you to find record your findings in another creative way. Email (sorrelandlaura@gmail.com) or mail them to us (c/o 281 Margueretta St., Toronto ON, M6H 3S4), and we will share them here. If you send us your return address, you will also receive another journey from us.
Where will we meet?
Come back and see.
Hello all! Over this past year, Sorrel and I have been in research and develop for both our collaborative and solo work. This will continue until next spring as we develop our latest collaborative project, City of Correspondence. From the city streets of Toronto, the harbour of Halifax, the sidewalks of Norwich and alleyways of Glasgow, we hope you'll follow our journey.
This past month I followed the same directions Sorrel followed to find her way in Norwich (Sunday April 19, 2009 entry). This is where they led me in Halifax, Nova Scotia:
1. Start at the right-hand side of the train station, by the steps, facing the art centre. Here, turn right and walk to the end of the street.
2. Then, pass the bush with berries on it and a sign of higher education.
3. Next, turn to your left follow the street towards the large building that might be a library.
4. Pass the bird house and a drawing in rust. At the junction look back the way you have come.
5. Walk towards the building with rainbow colours on it. When you reach it, turn right.
Sorrel and Laura
We have been working with each other since summer 2006, usually with an ocean between us—Sorrel in Nottingham, England, Laura in Toronto, Canada. Individually, our practices have always responded to our preoccupations with human geography and site specificity. Collaboratively our works explore how people understand and connect with their surroundings and how we develop and communicate this sense of place. The transatlantic nature of our collaboration has changed our own sense of space; suddenly our environment and locality has had to expand to meet each other's. We create performance walks and installations that explore our locality, using a task or rule based structures to re-map our surroundings. The installations can be appreciated as both an abstract form and quantitative or narrative maps of our journeys. Through this space we want to share with you our projects and progress as we embark on our latest projects. We can be reached at: sorrelandlaura@gmail.com

Walking as a process
We are intrigued by anticipation and routine in the act of walking, with creating actions that echo the transforming processes of geology and human geography. Our collaborative methodology is evolving through practice and research inspired by writings of Solnit, De Certeau, Debord and Baudelaire.
Walking being the main feature of our artistic process, we create site-specific projects focusing on different qualities of this practice:
• Walking directly and sensually engages walkers (both performer and audience) with the environment/space they are in, at the time they are in it.
• Walking accommodates self-awareness and escape, one's mental focus switches (almost as expertly as an eye in its visual field) from one's body, to the landscape and beyond.
• Walking is a physical and personal experience that in the act of sharing is translated (distance traveled, number of steps, directions, stories) or recorded in visual forms (patterns, imprints, maps).

Re:::lay
Re:::lay is a performance and installation project exploring the nature of long-distance relationships. The first phase of the project, developed in October of 2008, involves us creating performance-walks for participants between Nottingham and Edinburgh, London and Sheffield and Nottingham and Bethesda in the UK.
As Re:::lay develops, we will pose questions to you, our online audience, and suggest creative instructions and activities for how to connect with others over distance. We encourage you to share you opinions and results here.

Merry Christmas (or Happy Holidays) to you and yours.
We're testing a shortened holiday version of PM today, diving right into the news, with a few fun pics.
President Trump said this morning: "I can't tell you when the government is going to reopen," and that the partial government shutdown won't end until "we have a wall, a fence, whatever they'd like to call it." Go deeper.
An 8-year-old boy from Guatemala died in U.S. government custody. He's the second immigrant child to die while in detention just this month. Go deeper.
The body of 7-year-old Guatemalan girl Jakelin Caal, the other child who died while in U.S. custody, was brought home today. Go deeper.
The U.S.-led coalition airstrikes against ISIS in Syria are continuing, an unspoken message that the coalition doesn't consider the terrorist group to be defeated. Go deeper.
What we're reading: A youth movement that was founded less than two years ago and that stages most of its protests by singing has been lobbying on Capitol Hill for the "Green New Deal" — and has become "the dominant influence on the environmental policy" of the young, progressive Democrats, The New Yorker's Emily Witt writes.

3. 1 more Christmas thing
"Nothing Is More American Than Chinese Food on Christmas," Lillian Li writes for the N.Y. Times.
"Chinese food on Christmas has become, according to Rabbi [Joshua] Plaut, an acceptable alternative for anyone looking outside the usual holiday celebrations."
"It makes sense that Chinese restaurants were a destination for Jewish families on Christmas — they were among the only ones open, both literally and metaphorically."
"Chinese restaurants used to be one of the few public places that welcomed African-American diners..."
"It seems like proof that Chinese food and culture is finally part of mainstream America: Chinese restaurants have managed to become as culturally American as milk and cookies for Santa."
Dig in.


I am many, many times blessed at this time in my life for having unbroken, deep sleep almost every night.
Maybe my time is coming as I hear of huge numbers of seniors not sleeping well, and the problem worsening as they age.
There's a hormonal reason for having difficulty sleeping at night that relates to melatonin and growth hormones production decreasing with age.
Less melatonin has many older adults feel sleepy in the early evening and wake up in the early morning. They also may have more trouble falling asleep.
Growth hormone is what makes children sleep so deeply. As we age, our body secretes less of this hormone and deep sleep becomes more elusive.
The time when my good sleep was disturbed was during menopause (especially if I'd consumed a glass of wine). Night sweats are just one of several unpleasant symptoms of menopause, and they certainly woke me up.
There are other common contributors to sleeping badly. Apart from pregnancy, all of the following can be exacerbated by ageing.
I wish I had an easy fix for nocturnal sleeplessness. You will find some help perhaps in one of the YogaAnywhere cards called "Relaxing – Insomnia Sequence".
