Welcome to the The Cure Back Pain Network, proudly hosted here by Sciatica-Pain.Org. The websites of The CBP Network work to help educate patients on the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of their painful conditions by offering the latest objective research and focused topical articles.
The Cure Back Pain Network is the parent organization of this sciatica website and all of our online resources are always completely free to use. These expertly written and peer-reviewed websites are designed to supplement and enhance the relationship between patient and doctor. Kindly feel free to use the material as topics of discussion with your physician.
Please visit all The Cure Back Pain Network sites for niche-specific essays on a variety of painful dorsalgia syndromes. The full story of The Cure Back Pain Network can be found below.
Sciatica is only one problem affecting patients in the chronic pain community. There is a literal epidemic of symptomatic back and spine pain syndromes affecting millions of people around the world. As a fellow patient, I felt the need to help others to navigate the often confusing and frustrating diagnostic and treatment processes for a variety of conditions. The Cure Back Pain Network is the personification of my quest to help others end their chronic pain.
After suffering for 18 grueling years and trying every type of sciatica treatment, I was ready to give up. I spent a fortune out of my own pocket trying to treat my lower back and leg pain using electrotherapy, chiropractic, massage, pain management drugs, reiki, physical therapy, exercise, dietary changes, acupuncture, heat, ice, TCM, hydrotherapy and a host of pain relief products. Despite all these treatments, my pain worsened every year, until it actually controlled my life. I was advised to undergo back surgery by several doctors and was really thinking about it, despite all the inherent risks.
I became a full time back pain scholar during the many years of my own research efforts. This led me to pursue patient advocacy and a great deal of involvement in clinical studies in order to help others while I continued to try and help myself. For additional information, please read my sciatica story.
During the years immediately after after resolving my own pain, I wanted to share my story with other patients to give them hope that there might be a cure available for them also. I wrote my first book and had faith that it would be useful, since it was written from a patient's point of view. I sincerely wished that people could actually find some benefit from my 18 years of pain and not make many of the same costly mistakes I made.
I also developed my first website Cure-Back-Pain.Org. This site is my gift to all fellow patients, providing completely free informative articles into the causes and solutions for an incredibly diverse assortment of chronic pain and mindbody disorders. I am so proud of the way the site has grown and always love to receive your letters telling me how CBP.ORG has helped you to end your pain.

Fusion Beat gives its listeners a feast for the senses in their new album Against All Odds. The sextet brings together fresh tunes with a vibrant mix of jazz, Latin, funk, and world music. Since each member comes from a diverse background, you can really hear the dynamic blend of Puerto Rican, New Orleans, Afro-Cuban, Be-Bop, European, and South American influences in the album.
"Story Ave" is like an intense narrative that begins with a melodramatic piano solo with percussion flutters. What seems to be a poignant piece shifts effortlessly to an upbeat tempo that's both delightful and heartwarming. Jazz never sounded so soothing yet lyrical. The emotional undertone still remains in the background amidst the upbeat jazz dominating it, creating a beautiful musical tension.
"Story Ave" is a sweet juxtaposition of something hopeful and sorrowful with hope winning over sorrow. The music ends with a fast crescendo before it mellows down slowly to fade like a fleeting summer romance.
"Armando's Rhumba" will make you put your dancing shoes on. This is Latin Jazz at its finest. It kicks off with an upbeat tempo, seamlessly blending the trumpet, piano, and percussion tunes. Each instrument has a shining moment in this track. The trumpet solo is majestic while the pulsating piano highlight will leave you breathless. The bass guitar solo reverberates with deep and near enchanting power. The entire song is all about build up. There is no slowing down, only increasing intensity until it reaches its full musical climax before delivering a fully synchronized, perfectly coordinated stop.
This album will take you to a musical journey of a thousand flavors. Fusion Beat truly lives up to its name as the group wonderfully blends different genres while creating their own unique sound. Every track has its own character with mesmerizing instrumental nuances that will leave you engaged from start to finish.
Against All Odds goes against the tide, taking listeners to a beautiful, wild ride where they come out revitalized after being immersed in a sweet sundry fusion of beats.


If you've always lusted after Sony's top-end Walkman players, there's a slightly cheaper version in the form of the new NW-ZX300, out in Singapore in mid-November.
Okay, S$799 is still not cheap for a gadget that does only one thing – music playback – though it does promise to do it well.
If the more affordable player reproduces much of the quality of its more expensive siblings – the S$3,999 gold-plated NW-WM1Z and S$1,599 NW-WM1A – it could go a long way to winning over more music fans.
The NW-ZX300 comes with the same support for high-res audio formats, including popular native DSD and 384kHz/32-bit PCM formats. So, if you want the latest and greatest, worry not about this player.
Perhaps more important is its build. Sony says the new player uses its S-Master HX digital amplifier, something we've seen in its more expensive models. At the same time, it has an aluminium chassis that will look familiar to Walkman fans.
However, the NW-ZX300 is relatively lightweight at 157 grams. That's about a third of the 455 grams on the NW-WM1Z, which sports a gold-plated, all-copper body. So, you get something easy to carry around but without the heft that audiophiles sometimes get obsessed about.
For folks who want a balanced output, there's a 4.4mm balanced standard jack, besides a regular 3.5mm stereo mini jack. Again, this promises improved quality and could be what seals the deal for those who seek the feature.
In terms of capacity, the ZX300 has 64GB of storage onboard. However, you can slot in a microSD card so there should be no worries with plonking in your entire library into the player.
What's also interesting is that it will support Qualcomm aptX HD via a firmware update in future. This means you can hook up supporting Bluetooth earphones to enjoy high-res tracks wirelessly, as they become more common in the years ahead.

Warriors owner Joe Lacob bashes NBA luxury tax…
Warriors owner Joe Lacob bashes NBA luxury tax rules on Andre Iguodala's podcast
The outspoken owner says it's not fair Warriors have to pay $200 million in tax penalties for a mostly-homegrown roster
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 20: Golden State Warriors co-Executive Chairman and CEO Joe Lacob waves his hands to the crowd as he's introduced during the Championship rally and parade on Market Street in San Francisco, Calif., on Monday, June 20, 2022. The Warriors won their fourth NBA Championship in eight seasons after defeating the Boston Celtics in Game 6. (Ray Chavez/Bay Area News Group)
By Alex Simon | asimon@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: July 15, 2022 at 4:53 p.m. | UPDATED: July 18, 2022 at 5:33 a.m.
It's probably fun to be Warriors owner Joe Lacob right now. But in the world of NBA owners, it does seem like he is persona non grata.
Lacob spent the early part of this week in New York for NBA's board of governors meeting, then sat down with Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner's Point Forward podcast for a wide-ranging discussion in a 50-minute episode, touching on several topics.
While many were telling tales of his past, Lacob's present payroll for the Warriors roster is clearly at the front of his mind — and he doesn't seem to like the "penal" luxury tax rules that the NBA has set up, either.
"Obviously, it's self-serving for me to say this. But I think it's a very unfair system," Lacob said of the luxury tax. "Because (the way) our team is built, the top eight players have been drafted by this team. We have guys that were undrafted that we found and developed in Santa Cruz. We don't have one free agent that is not a minimum. Not one."
Lacob referenced ESPN's Brian Windhorst's "checkbook win" comment from after Andrew Wiggins led the Warriors to the win in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, acknowledging that the Warriors were fortunate to be able to turn the departing Kevin Durant into such a key player
"The only guy that you could make a case for, us outspending the competition and not being fair, is we turned Durant leaving into one guy (D'Angelo Russell) that turned into Wiggins, and that worked out great," Lacob said. "But they all criticized us for doing it and said we overpaid and did a bad deal.
"You can't have it both ways, you know?"
Lacob acknowledged that he understands how the Durant acquisition in 2016 rankled the league, but pointed out that, "anyone else would've done it, too." But Lacob is a clear believer that teams who draft and develop their own players into superstars should not be financially punished for wanting to keep them.
"I think the luxury tax, you should be paying a high luxury tax if you're using it to go get free agents and outspend your competition," Lacob said. "But if you're developing your own guys and paying Steph Curry what he deserves and Klay Thompson what he's earned, why am I paying $200 million in luxury tax? I don't think that's fair."
It's a sentiment shared by some around the association, including former Nets assistant general manager and ESPN front office analyst Bobby Marks. NBA commissioner Adam Silver was asked about this exact issue on the night of the NBA Draft by NBA TV's Jared Greenberg, and he said he didn't view it as penalizing the team.
But while Silver has to deal with 30 owners with regard to the luxury tax, it's clear the owner of the NBA champions doesn't agree with him.
But that's not all Lacob said to Iguodala and Turner, either. He went deep into his journey into becoming the Warriors' owner, discussing his previous business moves and his background in medicine. He also said that owning a basketball team was always his goal in his life and broke down exactly how he ended up getting the Warriors over the other bidders for the team in 2010, which included the far wealthier Oracle head Larry Ellison.
Lacob also called the time he was booed by Warriors fans on Chris Mullin's jersey retirement night in 2012, with fans upset over the trade of Monta Ellis for Andrew Bogut, "one of the hardest things I've ever had to overcome." He added that he carried a prove-them-wrong attitude toward his own team's fanbase after the incident.
Lacob also said the decision to not use public funding to build Chase Center, sticking solely to private financing, was "the greatest decision I've ever made." According to Lacob, the Warriors looked into building in Oakland first but didn't receive much feedback from the city, which shifted their focus to the far more receptive San Francisco.
He also made note that the chase for public funding in California can take years, pointing to the Oakland A's as an example of the headaches pursuing those dollars can add. And, in the same week that a San Francisco Chronicle story highlighted how Lacob nearly bought the A's, he also may have taken a shot at owner John Fisher, too.
"When I hear, 'They can't do it,' they need to be more creative. They need to work harder. They need to be smarter," Lacob said of how other owners could finance a new facility privately.
Lacob was also asked about the "two timelines" plan and made it seem very clear that he's still a believer in the Warriors' trio of young players (James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody) and had high praise for Wiggins, too. But overall, he seems pleased that the plan they set is working.
"I don't want to be bad for six years. I don't want to fall off a cliff," Lacob said. "So we took a risk that we could win this title in Steph's … call it golden years — I think he's got a number of years to go — and we were right, and we did. We won, amazingly. I think we're going to be hopefully better next year. These young guys will be better. Steph's still got it — sorry to the rest of the league, but I don't see him getting any worse.
"I know it was a highly risky strategy, Andre, but it worked, and now we're really set. We won and we've got this great future, potentially. I'm just really proud of what this team achieved. I really hoped that we could do it, but I didn't know if we could do it, and you guys did it."
And as for Lacob's goal as an owner? The self-proclaimed "maniacal" man wants to keep apace with former Lakers owner Jerry Buss, who went to 16 NBA Finals in 33 years as an owner. So far, Lacob's at six in 12 years.
"That 50 percent rate, I don't know if we can continue that," Lacob said. "But I'm sure as hell going to try."

On March 17, 2017, the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) filed an amicus brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit supporting a visual journalist's appeal of a lower court decision in favor of the defendant police officers who arrested him.
That "friend of the court" brief was joined by a broad coalition of over 60 media companies and organizations engaged in press photography, videography, broadcast news, journalism (both online and in print) and free-speech advocacy.
Photojournalist Douglas Higginbotham was covering an Occupy Wall Street protest at Zuccotti Park in New York City on the morning of November 15, 2011. In order to get a better vantage point from which to record the large crowd of police and protestors he climbed to the top of a phone booth. Mr. Higginbotham claims that while he was in the process of complying with police officers, who had asked him to come down, he was forcibly pulled off, arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. NPPA general counsel, Mickey H. Osterreicher was successful in having that charge quickly dismissed by the Manhattan district attorney.

Higginbotham subsequently brought a federal civil rights lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the arresting officers and the City of New York. Among other things, his complaint alleged that "the defendants retaliated against him for filming a violent arrest in violation of his First Amendment rights." In refusing to grant the defendants' motion to dismiss the case, District Court Judge P. Kevin Castel held (with regard to the question of whether the police officers were protected by the doctrine of qualified immunity), that "the right to record police activity in public, at least in the case of a journalist who is otherwise unconnected to the events recorded, was 'clearly established' at the time of the events alleged in the complaint."
The matter is now being appealed, following Judge Castel's grant of a motion for summary judgment by the defendants. "Though we believe the District Court erred in granting summary judgment, we also believe that Judge Castel was correct in recognizing that the press has a First Amendment right to cover police activity, said Jay K. Goldberg, attorney for Mr. Higginbotham. "We urge the Second Circuit to adopt Judge Castel's reasoning and align this Circuit with all others that have upheld this fundamental right of constitutional protection," he added.
Attorneys Robert Balin, Abigail Everdell and Jack Browning, of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP drafted the amicus brief with help from NPPA's Osterreicher. "The fact that more than 60 leading news outlets and free speech organizations have joined the NPPA in this friend of court brief speaks volumes about the importance of the First Amendment rights at stake in this case," said Balin. "From Ferguson to Occupy Wall Street to tomorrow's headlines, safeguarding the ability of the press and public to record and freely discuss police activity in public places is essential to an enlightened, informed democracy. Given the national consensus by other courts, we believe a ruling by the federal appeal court in New York recognizing a First Amendment right to record the police in public is long overdue. We look forward to presenting our arguments."
Those courts include the First, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth and Eleventh Circuits, which have expressly acknowledged the existence of this crucial right. The Second Circuit has yet to find that right as being "clearly established," which has had a chilling effect on journalists and citizens, while officers who arrest or harass those recording police conduct continue to avoid liability by receiving "qualified immunity" for their actions.
The brief urges the Second Circuit to "recognize—as did the district court—that members of the press unconnected with the underlying events have a clearly established First Amendment right to record officers in public places in furtherance of their free press rights to gather and disseminate news on matters of public concern." In the alternative, the amici argue, should the Court find "that the right to record the public conduct of police officers was not clearly established . . . at the time of Mr. Higginbotham's arrest," it "should nonetheless use this opportunity to declare the right to be clearly established going forward."
In reflecting on his case, Higginbotham said, "I just want to thank the NPPA for assembling so many media industry leaders, along with an impressive coalition of free speech organizations in support of my appeal. Now is a very important time for the courts to uphold our constitutional rights, and send a clear message that a free press must be allowed to go about our invaluable duties, which are enshrined in the First Amendment , without fear of police retaliation, or having our livelihoods destroyed."
"The attorneys for Davis Wright Tremaine are to be commended for their work on this brief," said Osterreicher, who has been involved in this case for the last six years. "I believe that Jay [Goldberg] has crafted an excellent appeal, while Rob, Abigail and Jack at DWT have drafted an amicus brief that should help guide the court on this issue. Of course the overwhelming support from so many groups has been very gratifying and we hope the court will take judicial notice of that fact. I would also be remiss if I did not thank Lynn Oberlander and the Press Freedom Litigation Fund of First Look Media Works for their support of Doug's appeal. Thanks also go to Gregg Leslie at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press for helping to rally support for the brief. Last but by now means least, I must thank Doug Higginbotham, who had to endure his unlawful arrest for just doing his job and for standing up for his, and in turn all of our rights, by pursuing this case."

Today federal court Judge J. Paul Oetken denied a motion to dismiss by the City of New York allowing the case, Jason B. Nicholas v. The City of New York, to proceed. The civil rights lawsuit was brought pro se (on his own) by Mr. Nicholas, a professional photojournalist, against Defendants William Bratton, Stephen Davis, Michael DeBonis, and the City of New York on December 8, 2015. The suit alleges that Defendants violated Mr. Nicholas' First and Fourteenth Amendment rights by revoking his NYPD issued press credential without due process and in retaliation for the content of his speech.
The Order and opinion out of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York found that the government cannot pick and choose among which newsgatherers to allow access to a scene or to information and that the NYPD's restriction on newsgathering may have violated the First Amendment. The court also found that journalists may very well have a First Amendment interest in their NYPD-issued press credential that calls for due process protections, and that the NYPD summary revocation of press credentials may have been without due process, violating the Fourteenth Amendment. Additionally, the court found that the city may have an unconstitutional unwritten policy to obstruct and interfere with newsgathering in general and with Mr. Nicholas' newsgathering in particular.

NYPD Officer Indicted After Investigation of NPPA Member's Unlawful Arrest

An NYPD officer accused of roughing up and illegally arresting a New York Times photographer has been indicted on multiple charges stemming from an incident last August. Robert Stolarik, an NPPA member, was violently accosted and taken into custody while photographing Officer Michael Ackermann who was trying to arrest a teenage girl in the Bronx.
Officer Ackermann claimed Stolarik hindered police work by repeatedly aiming the flash of his camera at the officer's face. That story crumbled under investigation by the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau (IAB). The Bronx district attorney also learned that Stolarik did not have a flash on his camera at the time of the incident, and concluded the officer's story was a lie. Ackermann now faces three felonies and five misdemeanors, and could see up to seven years in prison if convicted of the most serious charge.
Working with New York Times' Vice President and Assistant General Counsel George Freeman after the arrest, NPPA General Counsel Mickey Osterreicher sent a letter to NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne objecting to Stolarik's unwarranted arrest and rough treatment. Freeman and Osterreicher also requested that the photographer's equipment and press credentials, both seized at the time of the incident, be immediately returned. In addition the NPPA publicly criticized the NYPD for their actions.
Stolarik's ordeal was especially troubling because he was arrested in direct violation of NYPD's own Patrol Guide directives as noted in a follow-up letter from Osterreicher to Browne. Osterreicher also sent a letter to the editor, which was published in the NY Times. In it Osterreicher urged "the New York Police Department to work with us to improve training and supervision for its members."

The NYPD returned Stolarik's equipment in the days following the NPPA's first letter. Osterreicher's continued negotiations with the department resulted in the release of the photographer's press credentials two weeks later. Ongoing efforts by George Freeman resulted in prosecutor's ultimately dropped all charges against Stolarik.
The internal investigation that resulted in Officer Ackermann's indictment is an encouraging sign in what was otherwise a troubling year for the NYPD's relationship with photographers. Soon after Stolarik's arrest, police conducted a campaign of intimidation and interference against photographers covering the anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street protest. Stolarik himself had been forcibly prevented from covering the actual rally the previous year. Several journalists were detained or arrested at the Occupy anniversary. The NPPA also responded to these incidents.
Incidents such as this are becoming all too common throughout the country. Many officers apparently do not know or disregard photographers' First Amendment rights. Despite assertions two years ago that the NYPD was providing improved training to its officers the situation in New York City has not improved. "We have been unsuccessful in arranging a meeting with the new NYPD Deputy Commissioner for Legal Matters (DCLM) or the Deputy Commissioner for Public Information (DCPI) to discuss these issues," said Osterreicher. "Commissioner Kelly and his staff met with members of the media after the arrests of 26 journalists in Zuccotti Park in November of 2011, after which he issued a Finest message directing members of the NYPD to cooperate with the press. At the time I said that it was a good start but since then it appears to be just another piece of paper as far too many officers and supervisory staff ignore its directives," Osterreicher added.
On behalf of the NPPA, Osterreicher has continued to advise and train police agencies around the country in an effort to improve police-press relations. The First Amendment is not absolute but subject to reasonable time, place and manner restrictions. While police may have the discretion to limit access when public safety or other legitimate law enforcement activities so dictate, they may not order someone to stop taking photographs or recording video in a public place, especially if other members of the public are allowed to remain and observe those activities.
As Osterreicher says in his police training: "We can do this the easy way or the hard way!" It is indeed unfortunate that rather than respecting the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that they are sworn to uphold some officers believe that they are a law unto themselves. For Officer Ackermann it may have been a very costly mistake to view a photographer with a camera with suspicion and contempt. Everyone has a job to do: for a police officer it is to provide public safety and enforce the law; for a visual journalist it is to gather and disseminate news. It would best serve both purposes if this case helps to encourage cooperation between the two professions rather that continued conflict. As often is the case it's the enlightening truths that prove most elusive.

NPPA Joins Lawsuit Against NYPD
October 22nd, 2012 by and tagged Arrest, first amendment, free speech, journalism, journalist, national press photographers association, NPPA, NYPD, occupy wall street, photographers, photography, photojournalism, photojournalist, police, zuccotti park
Today the National Press Photographer's Association (NPPA) announced that it was joining 5 elected officials and almost a dozen members of the press in a lawsuit against the New York Police Department (NYPD) and JP Morgan Chase. The lawsuit alleges that the City of New York, the MTA, the NYPD, Brookfield Properties, and JP Morgan Chase conspired to violate the First Amendment rights of press members who were arrested while covering the "Occupy Wall Street" protests. The amended complaint seeks both redress against police misconduct during these arrests and that a federal independent monitor be appointed to observe future NYPD incidents involving the press.
NPPA joins this lawsuit on behalf of its 7000 members, including Plaintiff Stephanie Keith. Recently awarded the Newswoman of the Year Award by the Newswoman's Club of New York, Ms. Keith was arrested twice while covering the Occupy Wall Street protests. "I joined this lawsuit because as a working journalist I've been arrested, thrown to the ground, hit with batons and yelled at by the NYPD while doing my job on assignment" said Ms. Keith. "I have seen my fellow journalists being treated this way as well. Why should journalists be subjected to trauma inducing harassment on the job?"
Sean D. Elliot, President of NPPA, stated that NPPA joined the lawsuit so that "it can effectively address the continuing course of conduct by the NYPD against its members and others that has chilled our Constitutionally protected rights to gather and disseminate news."
Other plaintiffs in this lawsuit were quick to praise NPPA for joining as a new party. "We are pleased and honored to have the NPPA join our efforts, and we look forward to working with them towards the goals of justice, accountability and freedom of expression," said Sam Cohen, one of the attorneys at the helm of the case. Yetta Kurland, a civil rights attorney assisting with the case, remarked that "The NPPA and other members of the press play a vital role in getting the message of OWS out to the world. Arresting the press isn't just an attempt by the City and JP Morgan Chase to suppress the press and freedom of speech and expression, but also to suppress the message of Occupy."

NYPD Returns NY Times Photographer's Press Credentials
August 23rd, 2012 by Alicia Calzada and tagged Arrest, first amendment, journalism, journalist, law, Legal, Mickey Osterreicher, national press photographers association, NPPA, NYPD, photographers, photography, photojournalism, photojournalist, police, police relations, Press Credentials
Today (8/23/12) the New York Police Department (NYPD) returned the press credentials of a New York Times photographer who had his equipment and credentials seized following his arrest on August 4th.
Robert Stolarik, who was arrested on charges of obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest while photographing police activity on assignment, said, "My cameras were returned to me two weeks ago. Getting my gear back was the first step and now I have my credentials. The next part of this process will be getting the charges dropped."
The return of his credentials was a result of the efforts by National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) general counsel, Mickey H. Osterreicher and New York Times attorney George Freeman, who expressed his satisfaction with "such a great result." Osterreicher who negotiated with NYPD legal staff said, "We are very appreciative that the NYPD reconsidered their position with regard to the return of Robert's credentials but still believe it is unfortunate that they were taken in the first place and we will work very diligently to see that the charges are dismissed." "We hope the department uses this incident as a teachable moment in improving police-press relations in NY," Osterreicher added.
The return of the seized equipment on August 10, 2012 came days after the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) sent a letter to Deputy Commissioner Paul J. Browne of the NYPD that objected to the rough treatment and arrest of Stolarik and requested that his equipment be returned to him.
Osterreicher also sent a letter to the editor which was published by the NY Times on that same Friday morning, in which among other things, the NPPA attorney urged "the New York Police Department to work with us to improve training and supervision for its members starting from the top down ."

NPPA Replies to Comments Made by DCPI Browne Regarding "Mythical Arrests" of Journalists in NY
June 9th, 2012 by Mickey Osterreicher and tagged Commissioner Raymond Kelly, DCPI Paul Browne, Journalists, Mythical Arrests, NPPA, NYPD, zuccotti park
The NPPA has sent a response to comments made by DCPI Paul Browne during an interview with NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly and Queens Chronicle Editor-in-Chief, Peter C. Mastrosimone.
http://www.qchron.com/editions/queenswide/kelly-talks-policy-and-politics/article_2671bf68-065f-5926-923f-0e6caedf25e2.html
As well as:
http://politicker.com/2012/06/nypd-spokesman-says-stories-of-reporters-arrested-at-occupy-raid-were-a-total-myth/.
The email:
I read with disappointing disbelief your recent statement in the Queens Chronicle "that only one journalist was arrested during the operation, despite stories to the contrary," which you called "a total myth." I also found it incredulous that given our media coalition letter of November 21, 2011, which addressed the arrests of journalists in and around Zuccotti Park; and during our meeting with you and Commissioner Kelly on November 23, 2011, no one ever raised the issue that "Occupy Wall Street protesters were forging press credentials in an effort to get through the police lines." To hear you now deny your department's culpability by claiming that "actual reporters" were not arrested is an absolute revision of history and is more appropriate as part of "1984 Newspeak" than coming from the Deputy Commissioner for Public Information for the NYPD.
I will not get into the actual numbers of "journalists" arrested but suffice to say that many of those arrested have read your comments and find nothing "mythical" about what happened to them. I can also state, after having represented two NPPA members who were arrested and charged, that the court took judicial notice of the letters submitted on their behalf from Agence France Press and TV New Zealand when dismissing their disorderly conduct charges in the interest of justice. Even with updates to the Politicker story now acknowledging "two journalists" being arrested and assertions from Stu Loesser that "there's no discrepancy" between his November statement that "five credentialed reporters" had been arrested, I would direct your attention to the facts found in the post – setting the record straight.
In a vain attempt to distinguish between real and "fake" journalists I would also suggest that the NYPD take note of the decision in Glik v Cunniffe, 655 F.3d 78 (1st Circuit, 2011) in which the court stated "that the First Amendment right to gather news is . . . not one that inures solely to the benefit of the news media; rather, the public's right of access to information is coextensive with that of the press. Houchins, 438 U.S. at 16, 98 S.Ct. 2588 (Stewart, J., concurring) (emphasis added).
The court went on to say "changes in technology and society have made the lines between private citizen and journalist exceedingly difficult to draw. The proliferation of electronic devices with video-recording capability means that many of our images of current events come from bystanders with a ready cell phone or digital camera rather than a traditional film crew, and news stories are now just as likely to be broken by a blogger at her computer as a reporter at a major newspaper. Such developments make clear why the news-gathering protections of the First Amendment cannot turn on professional credentials or status." I cite this case not for the proposition that NYPD cease issuing credentials (although I do have a problem with your onerous credentialing requirements) but for you to consider that your revision of what actually transpired sounds more like the archaic "outside agitators" claim than it does of someone with an understanding of evolving standards of media technology and social policies.
The point is there were far more than one or two journalists who were arrested, detained or interfered with while trying to cover a matter of public concern. During our meeting in November you in no way suggested otherwise. Journalists should not be arrested for viewing or covering protests in public places as long as they do not interfere with police actions, whether or not they have credentials. Credentials, as your guidelines state, give those journalists additional access in certain circumstances but in no way should that warrant or justify the arrest of non-credentialed observers in a public forum.
While we greatly appreciate the Commissioner issuing his Finest message as a result of our November meeting it appears, given your comments, that there is much more that needs to be done. I take this opportunity to once again offer our expertise in helping to implement improved guidelines and training of officers regarding First and Fourth Amendments rights. I have recently done such training with the Washington DC Metro Police as well as the Chicago, Tampa and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Departments in preparation for the NATO Summit and the upcoming national political conventions in those cities. I personally observed the protests in Chicago and found that the police exercised incredible restraint in handling the protesters and those covering the protests and did not differentiate between credentialed and non-credentialed press in allowing access. As a result only one Getty photographer was arrested during three full days of (non-permitted) protests through the streets of downtown Chicago. Working with the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press we were able to have the charges against him immediately reduced and expedite his release on bond.
If you and the Commissioner truly wish the new police academy to be the "West Point of law enforcement" I would strongly urge you to include the media in your training program rather than remain in a state of denial.
I look forward to continuing to strive together in an effort to improve police-press relations, the first step in which is keeping the facts straight. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

NPPA Attorney Obtains Another Dismissal in Cases Against Photojournalists Covering Occupy Protests
February 21st, 2012 by Alicia Calzada and tagged Arrest, first amendment, Interest of Justice, Mickey Osterreicher, national press photographers association, NPPA, NYPD, occupy wall street
Charges were dismissed last week against a New York City photojournalist arrested while covering the Occupy Wall Street protests.
NPPA's general counsel, Mickey H. Osterreicher, was successful in obtaining court dismissal of charges stemming from the arrest last November of NPPA member Douglas Higginbotham while he was covering the Occupy Wall Street protests.
Charges were dropped "in the interest of justice," in response to Osterreicher's motion to dismiss, made on his behalf. Higginbotham was arrested after he stood on top of a phone booth to get a better vantage point of the protest. As he was attempting to get down (after being ordered to do so by police) officers pulled him off his perch and arrested him for disorderly conduct.
NPPA president Sean Elliot said, "I am pleased to see the correct outcome in this case but unfortunately the fact that Mr. Higginbotham was arrested in the first place represents just another example of a disturbing trend in police-press relations." "I would hope that the NPPA, SPJ and other organizations representing journalists can continue to make headway in educating police officials on how to better work with the media and avoid such incidents as this in the future," he added.
Ironically, last year while covering a celebration of the death of Osama bin Laden, Higginbotham was helped up onto another nearby phone booth by police and firefighters. "Being a freelancer working in New York for a TV station in New Zealand, I was very concerned and upset after my arrest," Higginbotham said in an interview. "Knowing that I had NPPA representing me was very reassuring. I am just glad that this episode is over and that the charges were dismissed," he added.
The Society for Professional Journalists (SPJ) provided financial assistance for his defense. "I'm not surprised by the outcome," said SPJ President John Ensslin. "I felt Doug had a strong case and I know he had a good lawyer." "We at SPJ are relieved and happy that this case is over and that Doug can go back to doing what he does without the threat of prosecution hanging over his head."

Charges were also dropped in January, against Jennifer Weiss, a freelance video and print journalist who had been working for Agence France-Presse covering the clearing of Zuccotti Park on November 15 of last year. She was attempting to get to the scene, when a police officer singled her out for arrest. She identified herself as a journalist, but was not allowed to call her editor until after she was released and was one of several journalists arrested that day. She had been charged with blocking pedestrian traffic and disorderly conduct and was issued an appearance ticket, which Osterreicher succeeded in having dismissed. Ms. Weiss said, "Mickey was extremely helpful, accessible and answered all my questions — and ultimately got my charges dismissed ahead of my court date. I'm very grateful to him for the time and effort he put in on my case."
Also in January, Osterreicher represented Jonathan Foster, an NPPA student member who was charged with trespassing after being arrested covering Occupy Rochester. Prosecutors initially refused to drop the charges, but they were dismissed at a hearing on January 12.
NPPA's attorney also provided support to counsel for Kristyna Wentz-Graff and the Milwaukee Sentinel, and he exchanged letters with the police department and prosecutors in that case. In the original police report, Wentz-Graff was charged with standing on a roadway and obstructing the issuance of a citation. The video of the incident shows that she was about to step onto the sidewalk from the street when the police yanked her back into the street and arrested her. Police claimed that they didn't know she was a journalist but the video showed her credential hanging around her neck and clearly visible. Prosecutors decided not to issue a citation, which is the equivalent of dismissing the original charges in Wisconsin, on December 19.

3 Ways to Better Engage Audiences
Author: David McMillin
Photo Credit: Adobe Stock
Like most member-based organizations, the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA) unites its audience face-to-face at one big gathering each year. But Brian Summers, CAE, CFMA's vice president of content management and education, said that the association faces the same challenge as many of its peers: The majority of its members can't attend the Annual Conference.
"Approximately 10 percent of our membership comes to the conference," Summers said. About five years ago, CFMA started doing online versions of its programming, he said, "to try to deliver education to everyone," and in 2017 it stepped up those digital efforts to offer 12 to 14 webinars, 10 to 12 intensive online courses, and an online Connection Café where the association's 8,000-plus members can discuss trends and issues. Each of CFMA's 95 chapters across the U.S. and Canada is a separate entity with its own board of directors, and Summers and his team have leveraged the chapter network to maximize the value of the content captured at the Annual Conference.
Their engagement strategy includes:
1 Turning attendees into content curators The Annual Conference program offers around 60 educational sessions across six tracks, and Summers makes sure that the 7,200 members who aren't there have opportunities to gain some of that on-site knowledge. Rather than having a staff member review all the material after the conference ends, CFMA assigns a liaison to each speaker to offer tips on tailoring the presentation to the audience. Once the presentation day arrives, the liaisons continue their work, attending sessions to determine how the content should be repurposed. "The liaisons are part of a task force, and we trust them to be an extension of our team," Summers said. "They rate the session on a number of factors, and they recommend what to do with the recorded content after the conference is over."
Some sessions might turn into CFMA magazine articles. Others might make good inspiration for webinars. "It all depends on the interest of the topic," Summers said, "and what the liaison thinks will serve membership best."
2 Uniting discussion groups around digital recordings While CFMA members can access webinars and online courses from their own screens, the association recently launched a new blended-learning program through which 15 to 40 local attendees gather for a group experience. If a chapter wants to present a recording to its own audience and secure a local expert to answer questions, CFMA HQ helps coordinate the plans. CFMA has hosted three blended programs so far. "Attendees like the ability to have a lively conversation," Summers said. "The program might be 90 minutes, and the speaker will stop the recorded session at times to answer questions and encourage discussion."
3 Bucking the trend While Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and a range of other well-established digital players have tools for live streaming, Summers said that the CFMA audience isn't there yet. "We did three years of live streaming various sessions from our Annual Conference, but we just couldn't get the volume to justify the expense," he said. "Our members don't seem to demand the live access." So for now, he's focusing on leveraging CFMA's chapters. "We have a speaker-recommendation program where we pick five to seven of the top-rated conference speakers and promote them to the chapter network," Summers said. "We're trying to find a way to help our chapters do more of their own webinars, too."

Q: "Drop by" or "Drop in"
Do you know the cafe down the street? I always go there after work. You should drop by/in someday.

Can both "by" and "in" be used here? Is there a difference between them? Which one is more natural?

A: Yes, both are colloquial and may be used in this context.
However, drop in implies entering a building while drop by is neutral in this respect and may be used in other contexts - to see an allotment, admire a new car, watch a sports match.

For the 2010 conference, "World on Edge" will bridge feminist conversations on global disasters and national crises with current concerns over the crisis in public education.

Spicam
Coronae
Spicona Inc. is focused on developing novel vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19). The company utilizes state-of-the-art recombinant vaccine platforms. The production of a recombinant vaccine involves the insertion of the DNA which encodes an antigen that stimulates an immune response into bacterial or mammalian cells. The expressed antigens are then purified and applied to the healthy people to build up immunity. Spicona's approach is to optimize the antigen design utilizing the Covid-19 surface spike protein to ensure optimal immune response. Spicona's proprietary technology is based on profound experience of its founders which have developed over 16 vaccines over the past decades. Our development approach is based on standards of the International council for harmonization of technical requirements for Pharmaceuticals for human use (ICH).
