Setlist, Attendance, and Recordings for: 2018-11-09 - Belly Up - Solana Beach, CA
Hey Y'all Nerds! Just wanted to preface this with the fact it's been a few months since I attended this show.
I was talking to the Man, the Myth, nay, the Legend Johnny Love and he had mentioned that a few reviews never took place because ppl didn't volunteer, backed out, or may have forgotten to submit a review. I love sharing my memories with you all so I wanted to give you my experience from this show and possibly the next night as well. Please enjoy a delayed review.
(Read in a narrator's voice-over voice)
On November 8th, two Nerds set out for San Diego from Phoenix. They were going to see their beloved Spafford in sunny Southern California a mere 350 miles away. Little did they know they were about to be treated to the best Spafford performance that either of them had seen in their entire lives. Now both of these nerds are not exactly light weights. Together they are well over the half century mark in shows seen so they can spot a stellar night when it presents itself. This is the story of the greatest Spafford Show that 2 NERDS from Phoenix have ever witnessed…. Up until this point obviously!
San Diego (city)-Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego which of course in German means whales vagina. (Ron Burgundy, 2004)
We set out from Phoenix for two nights in California to see Spafford, leaving early in the morning, on a Sunny Phoenix November. We had just come off of the first Arizona shows of the year with one in Flagstaff and two in Tucson (first timers for Spafford in Tucson, that might be a review for another time, I digress). Doing our due diligence we decided to stay close to the venue in del Mar on the north side of San Diego. If you get a chance to go there stay at this place! Walk out right to the beach, abundant parking. We arrived late afternoon and treated ourselves to libations and inhalations on the beach. Early November in So Cal does not disappoint. We knew that there would be a fair amount of Nerds there so after a failed late afternoon nap we headed to Pizza Port for further pre-show libations, pizza, and a hang with some other Nerds. Beers consumed, pizza eaten, stories and slaps traded, we left for the venue.
Normally I am not one to get to a venue early when Spafford has an opener as I prefer to catch the tail end of the opener's set and get my head right for the eminent face melting. Holy shit was I glad we did! As we are waiting a car pulls up and a certain touring member of The Rolling Stones jumps out and asks to squeeze beside me to get to the will call window to grab his credentials. Everyone in my group was looking at me as I did my best impression of Will Ferrell in Elf when he hears that Santa is coming. Karl Denson, touring member of the Rolling Stones and leader of Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, just cut me in line and disappeared into the venue with a saxophone in hand. I don't think I stopped blabbering for the next 10 minutes it took the Belly Up to open its doors.
I do need to say that it is becoming even more important to show up to a Spafford show early, not only to catch the opener if there is one, but also to get in the merch line. I was able to snag a print for me and my fellow road warrior, complete with the numbers that we collect. It wasn't until the next day that I read the @blockprints post on Instagram and on the Spafford Prints group about the imagery that he was able to deliver. Huge shout out to Jon Rose and all his amazing artwork that adorns my walls reminding me of the shows I have been to.
Midnight North kicked off the evening. If you're not familiar with them, I highly suggest checking them out. I spent the opening first set mingling and chatting with some Nerds that I knew had traveled to see this and the following night's show. I will apologize and admit that I chomped during their set. Reality set in for me when I saw the legend #diesel get up with the opener. I was shaking in my Spafflanta shirt with anticipation for Spafford's set (the shirt is important for later, tease).
Simon and Lilly started us off for the evening, the jams between lyrics let us know that it would be a night not soon forgotten. The crowd settled in and started to jam out in anticipation of what the night would bring. My second time hearing that particular song live, last being the previous year in Phoenix. Like any Spafford song, I wanted it to go on longer but this was soon over and Brian welcomed the crowd and introduced the evening's surprise…I was sure that we were going to hear Ain't that Wrong with some Sax and proclaimed to everyone around me that was what was next. I was wrong-- it takes a strong man to admit-- but I was even more blown away by what came next!
Mind's Unchained came next and Karl took his spot next to Brian and accented the opening licks. He even took some of the lead during the opening few bars before the band jumped into the lyrics. It seemed like he had been playing with the gents for years as he segued in and out of the song with ease. It was a slow build while Brian sang the opening lyrics, but everyone took a few bars to step up and let the crowd know that this was going to be a collaboration. Karl led us into a funky soul jam while the boys kept up with him allowing him to explore the stage of the Belly Up. I couldn't believe that this was the first time that Spafford had him on stage. They sounded well-rehearsed and Karl had a back and forth with everyone, but I think Cam challenged him most during the middle of the song. I wish I was not standing at the soundboard but rather up on the rail to see the face of Cam during that exchange. I really want to fan boy this song, but go listen to it or watch it. I was so excited to see the gents I have had the pleasure of watching over the last four years just get into a jam with this sax player. I'm not a music critic, nor do I understand much about music theory, but it seemed that everyone on stage fed off each other. Playing quietly or louder when needed. Go to the 12 min mark of the Nugs recording and you will be doing pirouettes like I was during this song. Bonus points for those that know what that word is. There are another 8 minutes of me dancing a fool, but I won't recount that for you. You can thank me that I don't have a dancing tutorial up on this page.
Eternity allowed me to stop my rotations and just get down. "Let it play straight from the Heavens" is one of my favorite lyrics that has ever been penned, especially during a show. You know that the band is going to bring this hard and the lyric "we are here to say, we all belong now" gets me every time. I took the Yeahs to just dance and embrace the music and the fact that I was among friends and enjoying spectacular music in Sunny Southern California. After the second-to-last chorus, just turn everything off, and dance like a fool and get to higher ground.
Memphis in the Meantime found Brian asking if Karl was still there. I thought he had sneaked out after the last few minutes of Mind's Unchained. He had, but apparently came back to rage with force. This John Hiatt tune definitely benefited from the addition of a Saxophone. According to my Spafnerds.com stats page it was only my second time experiencing this live. I kind of grew up on Hiatt so I was excited to hear this for the second time. Karl took over the solos between choruses and while everyone seemed to want to take those parts over, Karl played a little bit louder and harder and everyone-- from keys to bass to drums-- gave him space. I do want to give Cam props that he seemed to take it up to 11, when Karl took it to 10 and then dropped right back to a 3 when Karl took it to 4. Overall this song was full of jams and it seemed like the boys had found their go-to sit-in artist. Those of you on Jam Cruise this year, I am both jealous and envious of what you will see. (Time elapses while I am writing this review to walk the dog) Sit tight for the last 8 minutes of the Nugs recording as it is some of the finest improvisational material I have ever been privileged to hear. So many teases, so many individual explorations before it comes back together. Pick an instrument and listen to that, then listen to how everyone feeds off each other. This is why we listen to this band. This could be some of the finest improv performance that this lay person has ever heard.
And just when I think it cannot get any better, this show is better than any I have ever heard, they drop into Todd's Tots. Now those of you that know me, know that this is my favorite Spafford song. Fast, slow, improv, keys, guitar, bass, stellar drums, vocals-- this song has it all. They are closing out their first set with my favorite song! At this point I was bouncing on the ceiling and nothing could contain me. Those of you at the show that I offended with my killer dance moves and interpretive dance, complaints are being received on the threads below. I was ready to charter a plane home and never see a show again as the first set left me changed: nothing could beat this, EVER. I would have been good with this being the last live music that I ever seen. (Spoiler: it gets better). I just jammed the last 5 minutes of this 12 minute Opus, silently wiping tears of joy from my eyes. It's also how they chose to close their last studio album.
Plans opened up the second set. Jordan on vocals brought us back to the reality of the show. I really like this song. Everyone gets the opportunity to shine. One thing that I really like about this band is that they don't have a front man. Brian get's the 'C' if they were playing hockey, but everyone gets to shine. There is a selflessness to this band which is why I think people gravitate to them. I remember trying to explain this band to friends and pointing out that since it is a four-piece, the other musicians have to bring up the rear or cover for one another when they go off on a tangent. There is no second guitar to cover for rhythm if Brian goes off on a solo, rather Red, Jordan or Cameron fill in. And if one of the guys gets a theme in their head the others will cover and allow that person to explore their idea and join in. That all being said, Plans gets me swaying in a "I want to dance" kind of way. I just remembered that I was just feeling the love in a 'you had to be there' kind of way at the show. Keep listening, this show only gets better.
Virtual Bean Dip was up next. According to Spafford.net I have been present for 7 of these epic Jams. This again highlights the band's ability to play off each other. Clocking in at almost 20 minutes, everyone gets their moment to shine while remaining a cohesive song. It just begs you to get lost in the moment and dance. Just when you think that an individual member is going to run off with a solo, you are immediately brought back to the ensemble.
Galiesto Way brought us right up to the second set closer. This is my second favorite song and my favorite song to introduce people to Spafford. The energy that the gents bring doesn't allow anyone to have a bad time. By the second chorus you are singing along, even if it is your first show! Rock, reggae, jam-- all is represented. Remember when I said I was dancing on the ceiling earlier, this was an out-of-body experience for me. It was brought down right in the middle to something to sway to, you get to get your head right, be in the moment and appreciate the fact you are in So Cal for this jam. No one is trying to dominate the performance you feel calm collected and at peace. Red swoons you on the keys before everyone picks you up off the floor of your own puddle of appreciation. You find the head space to clear your mind and then, and then, you feel that you are one with the band, you are on your way: the Galiesto Way!
Slip and Squander to round out the second set the boys dropped this. Not to say we had any say in the set list, but look at this pic. Are we not the bookends of the two sets? Red always impresses me when he takes over a song. Again, this is why I love these guys, no ego. Everyone gets to shine. Red has the audience captivated before the band jumps into a jam. Jordan gets us pumped for the chorus, Cam chimes in then in a huge crescendo, and Brian lets us know that it is happening, leading us all to dance our collective behinds off.
I almost missed the encore due to a much needed smoke break, but to finish the night off…Mad World. Played 30 times, I've been present for 5 (thanks Spaffnerds!) This song brought me down to a place where I could leave a venue with a full heart. Often when I go to a show I feel that a show left me wanting more or cheated me by not giving me a set or song that I wanted. I was already over the moon with this show but I needed to calm down and get ready for the next night. Nope, Spafford absolutely blew the roof off this Tears for Fears cover. I think I was still dancing in the parking lot to this song as I waited in my rideshare. I could not think of a better way to end the evening than this version of Mad World.
See you at the next show!

Updates from SPC
Pacific Community members keep spirit strong at CRGA 46
Amid mounting pressure on the development sector in the Pacific Islands, the annual governing body meeting for the Pacific Community (SPC) has ended with agreement to refine aspects of the scientific and technical organisation's operations.
"We now have the necessary building blocks that are needed to help us address our key financial and other challenges over the next two to three years," the Pacific Community Director-General, Dr Colin Tukuitonga, said at the close of the 46th meeting of SPC's Committee of Representatives of Governments and Administrations (CRGA 46).
Government officials from 21 country and territory members of the Pacific Community and representatives of 10 development partners took part in the meeting from 28 to 30 June in Noumea, New Caledonia.
Among the key outcomes were approval for: plans to develop and implement a sustainable financing strategy for SPC over three budget cycles, including cost recovery and priority setting mechanisms; a study to explore the most appropriate operating current for SPC (currently SPC uses the Pacific franc); and for a review of the secretariat's project management fee, to reflect actual costs.
The Pacific Community 2015 Results Report and the organisation's Strategic Results Framework 2016–2020 were endorsed.
"As with many international development organisations, SPC is at a crossroads in an environment that requires a change in the way it operates and is financed, and it was essential for members to agree on what SPC's priorities should be, including responses to requests for assistance when members suffer disasters," Dr Tukuitonga said.
The Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) and the SPC secretariat gave a joint update on engagement with the Framework for Pacific Regionalism by the Council of Regional Organisations in the Pacific (CROP).
The members were also briefed on the Smaller Island States (SIS) Strategy 2016–2020, which was adopted earlier this month by Pacific Islands Forum SIS leaders.
As this new strategy provides the basis for regional priority setting, SPC is to give special attention in its programme business plans to the five priorities for SIS: climate change; labour; health – in particular, implementation of the Pacific Non-communicable Disease (NCD) Roadmap; fisheries; and air and sea transport.
SPC is to report on the new strategy as a priority alongside gender and youth in its annual Results Reports from now on.
There was agreement that members and the SPC secretariat should engage in a Joint Steering Committee for the analysis of regional governance and finance, as requested by Forum Leaders last year.
The committee will comprise Chairs of the governing councils and committees of CROP agencies, and its inaugural meeting will be held from 20 to 21 July 2016, in Suva, Fiji.
SPC has also been tasked with contributing to data collection for the analysis, and subsequent regional dialogue, as part of a CROP Chief Executive Officer Reference Group.
Additionally the members approved the design and implementation of an SPC-specific performance development system, to be created in consultation with staff, and agreed that a joint report from SPC's Staff Representative Committees should be included in senior management's ongoing reporting to CRGA on significant staffing issues.
The members viewed the mainstreaming of youth into SPC's broader portfolio and programme delivery as a matter of priority, and requested that a central agency, such as the Pacific Youth Council, monitor the impact of mainstreaming youth issues in the Pacific.
The members also urged the secretariat to fully integrate organic agriculture into relevant strategies, and agreed that options for sustainable financing of an organic agriculture programme in SPC will need to be considered.
As part of the SPC's commitment to environmental sustainability, a voluntary carbon offset scheme was introduced for the first time at this CRGA, with the participants contributing a total of 55,000 CFP to the scheme.
A reforestation association in New Caledonia, Mocamana, will use the funds to plant some 10,500 trees to restore a native dry forest area in New Caledonia, thereby offsetting the participants' travel for the meeting.
The meeting outcomes report and other documents for CRGA 46 are on the SPC website.
CRGA 47 and the 10th Pacific Community Conference in 2017 and CRGA 47 will be held in Noumea, New Caledonia, during SPC's 70th anniversary year, with the provisional dates of 24 to 28 July.

Честин (, ) је тврђава у Србији чији се остаци налазе код истоименог места у општини Кнић, 15 km југозападно од Крагујевца. У изворима се помиње крајем 14. века, у вези са дешавањима после Косовске битке. Мађари су током јесени 1389. године упали у Србију и почетком новембра су опсели и заузели Честин и оближњи Борач. Идуће године, српске снаге, ојачане помоћним отоманским одредима, су потиснуле Мађаре и повратиле изгубљене градове. Рушевине тврђаве, смештене на брду Градина (564 m нмв), нису археолошки истраживане.

Прошлост тврђаве

Након Косовске битке, током јесени 1389. године, у Србију су упале снаге Краљевине Мађарске предвођене краљем Жигмундом (1387—1437) и у новембру су заузете тврђаве Честин и Борач, под којим је краљ издао седам повеља. Већ током лета наредне године, српске снаге, ојачане отоманским одредима, повратиле су изгубљене градове, а борбе у области око њих, вођене су и наредне две године. После Никопољске битке (1396), снаге Краљевине Мађарске поново упале у Србију. Том приликом је освојен Борач, док су напади на Честин и Неваде одбијени.

Тврђава Честин се помиње на надгробном споменику властелина непознатог имена који је владао њиме 33 године. На оштећеном натпису се помињу имена Алтоман и Никола, што је део научника повезао са великим жупаном Алтоманом и његовим сином Николом Алтомановићем, на основу чега је сам споменик датиран у седму деценију 14. века (тачније 1367. године). Према другом тумачењу, на натпису се помиње неки други Алтоман, чији се отац звао Никола, па се он не може везати за великог жупана Алтомана, чији је отац био војвода Војин.

Остаци тврђаве
Тврђава има облик неправилне издужене елипсе, дужине око 85 m (исток-запад) и ширине око 40 m (север-југ), са једном кулом смештеном на источном бедему, при врху брда. По свом облику (неправилна елипса са једном кулом), Честин подсећа на неколико других утврђења у његовој близини:

 Сребрница код Страгара на Руднику
 Јеринин Град код Пајсијевића
 Градина код у селу Мајдан, на врху Ђуревац на Руднику.

Group of Senators Reach Compromise on Changes to Respect for Marriage Act
Amanda Casanova | ChristianHeadlines.com Contributor | Tuesday, November 15, 2022
#religious liberty
A group of senators said this week that they had come to a compromise for an amendment to the proposed Respect for Marriage Act which would enshrine marriage equality into federal law.
According to CBS News, the five senators announced in a statement that they have created "commonsense language to confirm that this legislation fully respects and protects Americans' religious liberties and diverse beliefs while leaving intact the core mission of the legislation to protect marriage equality." The amendment would protect religious liberty under the act.
The Respect for Marriage Act would require the federal government to recognize same-sex and interracial marriages in the U.S.
The group of five senators includes Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin (D), Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona (D), Susan Collins of Maine (R), Rob Portman of Ohio (R) and Thom Tillis of North Carolina (R).
Under the bipartisan amendment, religious non-profits will not have to provide services, facilities, or goods for marriage ceremonies or celebrations for same-sex marriages. The amendment protects religious liberty laws already outlined in the Constitution and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, according to the senators.
The amendment "recognizes the importance of marriage, acknowledges that diverse beliefs and the people who hold them are due respect, and affirms that couples, including same-sex and interracial couples, deserve the dignity, stability and ongoing protection of marriage," the bipartisan group of senators behind the bill said.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has filed a motion to go ahead with a procedural vote that would advance the bill.
"No American should ever, ever be discriminated against because of who they love, and passing this bill would secure much-needed safeguards into federal law," Schumer said.
"I hope, for the sake of 10s of millions of Americans, that at least 10 Republicans will vote with us to protect marriage equality into law soon," he said. "The rights and dignity of millions of Americans depend on it."

Working under a joint venture of Skanska USA and MAPP Construction, Gallo performed all mechanical and plumbing work on the Inpatient Towers portion of the new $1.1 billion University Medical Center in New Orleans. The project included the construction of three towers each of which had seven floors. The top penthouse level housed 18 air-handling units and 4 energy recovery units among other equipment which was served from a remote Utility Building on site.
The job was implemented with a fully coordinated BIM model utilizing a rack system to allow MEP services to be fabricated simultaneously with the building structure being completed. Gallo started construction in July of 2012 and concluded in the first quarter of 2015. The facility opened to the public on August 1, 2015.

Evolved from a PSN title to a disc-based release, Sony's newest PS3 game, Tokyo Jungle has caught the attention of many with its interesting urban environment, animal survival concept. But does this title bring gameplay equal to its unique narrative base or does it never completely manage to escape its budget title roots?
Tokyo Jungle is based around one single question: What would happen if one day humanity disappeared and Tokyo was left to the animals? From the eyes of a lowly Pomeranian to those of the king of the dinosaurs, Tokyo Jungle shows you the largest city in the world devoid of human life. Following the animals left behind, you experience not only their individual stories in this new urban jungle, but also uncover the mystery of humanity's disappearance piece by piece. It's a compelling premise for a game, and Tokyo Jungle handles the dual narrative quite well.
While there is a 14 mission story mode, you'll be spending most of your time with Tokyo Jungle in survival mode (for reasons we'll get into later). The point of the mode is, just as you may have guessed, to pick an animal and survive as long as possible. To prevent this from becoming monotonous (given how many times you will play this mode) you are given a set of random objectives to accomplish in each ten minute chunk you survive. The challenges reward you with stat bonuses and occasionally unlock clothing or even a new playable animal. The other animals and food present in each area randomly change every ten minutes as well insuring that no playthrough will be identical to any other—even if you're playing the same animal.
Tokyo Jungle touts an amazing lineup of 52 animals—more if you count those animals with several unlockable skins. You can be everything from a deer to an elephant on the herbivore side and everything from a Pomeranian to a T-Rex on the carnivore side. Sadly though, herbivore or carnivore, all animals play basically the same. The only meaningful difference is size and thus how much damage you do. Therefore unlocking animals simply moves you up the food chain, nothing more.
course, some of the reports are in areas that will require something a bit stronger than a deer or Pomeranian (the only two animals unlocked at the start) so you need to stick around in survival mode long enough each time to unlock the next level of animal.
But even after you unlock the next animal in the food chain, you can't actually use it. First you must pay for it using the points you collected in survival mode by completing challenges and simply staying alive. Clothes (which act as armor and weapons) can also be purchased using points. So really, each time you go into survival mode, you need to try to survive as long as possible or you will be destroyed by the sudden difficulty spike at the end of the game.
Without going into spoilers, the location of the final four data reports is infested with enemies far stronger than any animal sans the dinosaurs—which are, of course, the final unlock. I was about 3/4 through the carnivore unlocks and had had no difficulty issues with the game until this point. Yet, suddenly I was unable to progress. Rather than play the five or more extra hours minimum it would take to unlock the dinosaurs, I took the fastest character I had—the cheetah—and kept trying to sneak/run past the enemies. After about the fifth try (and 2nd hour) the area was sparsely populated enough for me to succeed. I have no doubt that this was total luck and the game was trying to force me to play survival until I unlocked the dinosaurs. All it made me want to do, however, is never play the game again.
because they are poorly designed but rather because they lack proper check points. Each stealth level has perhaps one checkpoint in its entirety and since being seen automatically ends the mission, you'll spend an inordinate amount of time doing the same section over and over. Between the repetition and the loading times, it becomes far more frustrating than fun.
Tokyo Jungle is a real mixed bag. Here in Japan it was released as a semi budget title—costing about half the price of most PS3 titles—but I am on the fence about whether it was worth the money. For everything unique or enjoyable, there seems to be something uninspired or monotonous. While it's true "the more I played it, the more I enjoyed it," (especially the pseudo Lion King segment), the final stealth level and sudden, eye-rolling difficulty spike brutally murdered the fun, leaving nothing but a corpse full of hate. If grinding for unlocks is something you find enjoyable, then this is probably a game you will enjoy. If you were looking forward to the story and messing around with a bunch of different animals, it's safer to give this one a pass.
Tokyo Jungle was released in Japan on June 7th on the PlayStation 3 and is scheduled for a Western release later this year.

Cramps derail Sagan's Amstel Gold Race chances
By Alasdair Fotheringham published 14 April 13
Slovakian champion struggles with warm weather
Overwhelming pre-race favorite Peter Sagan struggled with the warm temperatures (Image credit: Bettini Photo)

Peter Sagan (Cannondale) was widely expected to take a top result in the Amstel Gold Race, but instead was forced to settle for a lowly 36th. The Slovakian champion, who was third in Amstel in 2012, and who won the key Amstel warm-up race, Brabantse Pijl, on Wednesday, said he felt ill in the last part of the race and could not make the running as he had expected.
"I felt rough, about 30 to 40 kilometres to go," Sagan told reporters afterwards. "It wasn't ideal but there wasn't anything I could do, I was cramping up."
Sagan said he tried as best as he could to play a part in the finale, but his strength was ebbing fast.
"When [Philippe] Gilbert (BMC) attacked, I wanted to follow him, but it simply wasn't possible. I didn't have the strength to do it."
"I think was because it was a warm day. In last two months I always raced with low temperatures, today my legs suffered in the change of the weather."
Reports earlier this week strongly suggested that Sagan will end his Classics campaign at Amstel Gold, having already won Gent-Wevelgem, two stages of Tirreno, Brabantse Pijl and taken second places in Milan-San Remo, Flanders and E3-Prijs Vlaanderen. He is also second overall in the WorldTour rankings, behind Fabian Cancellara (RadioShack).
Sagan confirmed in a press release that he would decide about Fleche Wallonne tomorrow.

Un projet de loi étatsunien propose un plus grand accès du public à la recherche scientifique
Une projet de législation étatsunienne propose que les articles scientifiques financé par des fonds publics soient exempts de toute charge sur Internet.
ARTICLE DISPONIBLE UNIQUEMENT EN ANGLAIS The Federal Research Public Access Act, introduced on 2 May by Senators John Cornyn and Joe Lieberman, would require every federal agency with an annual research budget of more than 100 million US dollars to implement a public access policy. The proposed US bill comes shortly after a study published by the European Commission on Europe's scientific publication system, which recommends, among other actions, ensuring published articles arising from EU-funded research are made available in open access archives after a given time period. Similarly, the proposed US policy framework policy would require each researcher - funded totally or partially by a federal agency - to submit an electronic copy of their final research paper that has been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Research papers would be held in a digital repository maintained by that agency or in another suitable repository that permits free public access, interoperability, and long-term preservation. The proposed framework would also require that free, online access to each taxpayer-funded research paper be available as soon as possible, no later than six months after its publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Through this process, the legislators claim, taxpayers will reap a maximum return on their investment in government funded research, and benefit from accelerated scientific progress. 'This legislation is a common-sense approach to expand the public's access to research it funds. And it will help accelerate scientific innovation and discovery,' said Senator Cornyn. 'Tax payer-funded research should be accessible to tax payers. Our bill will give researchers, medical professionals and patients in Connecticut and throughout the nation access to scientific discoveries and advancements that can help bring new treatments and cures to the public,' noted Senator Lieberman. However, not everyone is in favour of complete open access. In a statement issued on 9 May, the Association of American Publishers (AAP) said that the provisions of the bill threatened to undermine the essential value of peer review by removing the publishers' incentive and ability to sustain investments in a range of scientific, technical, and medical publishing activities. 'The Cornyn-Lieberman bill would create unnecessary costs for taxpayers, place an unwarranted burden on research investigators, and expropriate the value-added investments made by scientific publishers - many of them not-for-profit associations who depend on publishing income to support pursuit of their scholarly missions, including education and outreach for the next generation of US scientists,' said Dr Brian D. Crawford, chairman of the Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division of the AAP. 'If enacted, [the bill] could well have the unintended consequence of compromising or destroying the independent system of peer review that ensures the integrity of the very research the US Government is trying to support and disseminate,' he warned. In an effort to reach a common consensus on the subject in Europe, the European Commission is calling for reactions to its study and additional contributions to other issues linked to scientific publications. Interested parties are invited to react before 1 June. A conference discussing the study and its public feedback will be held in autumn 2006. //CPA To read the bill, please visit: http://cornyn.senate.gov/doc_archive/05-02-2006_COE06461_xml.pdf

Earlier this year, we fell in love with the Nikon D800. How could you not? It's a 36.6-megapixel hulk of a professional camera. But if you don't have $3000 lying around, too bad.
For a lot of serious photographers, the Nikon D600 sounds like an ideal compromise: the camera you can still afford with many of the professional specs you want.
The Nikon D600 has a 24.3-megapixel, full-frame sensor and costs only $2100 for the body alone. Let's just come out and say it: That "only" is relative. This is a camera for people who are willing to shell out some dollar for photography. Still, this is the cheapest full-frame sensor camera Nikon has ever made, and amongst the cheapest you can buy in this class, period.
Until now, there has been a huge price gap between full-frame sensor professional cameras (like the $3000 D800) and the alternatives (like the $1200 D7000). For $2100, the the D600 (along with the forthcoming Canon 6D) splits the difference.
Full-frame sensors are the professional standard: Compared to the APS-C sensors found in most inexpensive DSLRs, a full-frame sensor is 2.3 times larger. Spreading the camera's roughly 24 million pixels over a larger area means larger photodiodes, which in turn do a better job capturing light—less distortion, and better performance in the dark. Suddenly, there's a middle ground for serious photographers whose budgets can't stretch all the way into pro prices.
As a rule, pro cameras look the part: They're big, heavy and covered in customizable buttons. The D600, as you might expect, is smaller and lighter than the D800. It's shocking that dropping five ounces can make such a difference when you're carrying the camera for hours.
The drawback of course, is that you lose the D800's unparalleled operability. The D600's streamlined design has fewer buttons, and though you can customize everything, it's just not the same. You also lose the but incredible cup on the D800's viewfinder.
Now, of course, these benchmarks don't really mean anything if they're not backed up with performance. From the start, the D600's 39-point autofocus system is no match for the super-customizable new 61-point system in the 5D. That said, the D600's system is adequate in most conditions. It fell short, especially in darker or low-contrast settings, but it doesn't take long to get the hang of it.
The camera's overall performance, though, is quite fast. The shutter fires instantly when you press the release. The D600's 5.5 fps continuous shooting speed is comparable to much more expensive full-frame sensor cameras. Still, photographers who like to shoot action might be disappointed that it's not faster.
Nikon has been a step behind Canon on video for ages, and though it's made some strides recently, the D600 suffers from many of the same drawbacks as the D800. The video quality is sharp in broad daylight, but the quality falls apart in low light. Moire and rolling shutter distortions are evident. Inexplicably, you can't change the aperture of the lens in Live View mode.
Excellent image quality in a lightweight low-priced package with all the essentials.
If anything, we're just sad the D600 can't be a D800. We'd love more hardware buttons and more powerful autofocus, sure. It would be nice to have the video quality on par with what Canon offers these days. But considering the price, these drawbacks aren't the end of the world.
This camera's so good, we'd even say that a lot of people who would otherwise shell out for the D800 or 5D Mark III might consider the D600 instead. It's really more than just a scaled-down professional camera for amateurs. This is a different tool altogether. It's a leaner, more efficient DSLR. And that's exactly what most people need.
The crazy DSLRs that war and wedding photographers have dragged into their respective fields of battle have been both a physical and financial encumbrance. Take, for example, the D800. Yes, its sensor has unbelievable resolution, but it comes with two problems. First, processing files that large is very time-consuming—we know many D800 shooters who end up dialing down their sharpness to make life easier. Second, really truly taking advantage of that kind of resolution requires an arsenal of extremely high quality lenses.
In a lot of ways, the D600 gives you the power basically everyone wants, but without going overboard. If you're a serious photographer considering it because the price sounds right, it's almost definitely the one you should buy. If you're interested in shooting video, hold off until December, when we'll have a chance to review the new, comparably priced, Canon 6D.

Good health and great toys
Michelle Hollinger— December 25, 2014
Nicole Knight said she brought her children to the holiday fair "to get blessed." The 26-year old mother of four said the free toys being provided at the Jessie Trice Community Health Center at the agency's 11th annual Santa's Workshop would be a big help because of "what I can't buy for my kids."
Knight lives near the center and attends the event yearly.
Eleace Sawyers, vice president for planning and business development, said that members of the community are welcome to attend the center's annual holiday community event; and as they enjoy the festivities, she wants them to also learn more about the myriad services provided by the health center.
Sawyers said the organization provides a wide array of health services, including primary preventive health care, OB-GYN, pediatrics, health education and dental services.
"We have over 32 locations, we serve over 30,000 patients in any given year. We are growing and we've got more centers to come," she said.
In addition to offering a substance abuse treatment program, the Trice Center also provides care for people living with HIV/AIDS, a Healthy Start program and mental health services.
"Our mission is to provide access to care. Our primary focus is to serve the uninsured and the underserved and anyone that wants to receive services from us. We're a patient centered medical home and if you do need service and care and you don't have a PCP (primary care physician), we'll be happy to provide that service," she said.
As she glanced at the parking lot bustling with families, Sawyers said she was hopeful that the number of people in attendance at this year's event would exceed the 500 people that attended last year.
Juany Martinez said that she brought her children to the fair, "to have fun." The stay-at-home mother of five said that she recently returned to Florida from New York and appreciates the supportive environment at the center; which she said she will visit soon to learn more about its services. She said a caseworker from the health center visited her at home to inform her of the event.
The not-for-profit organization boasts a multicultural, multilingual, and multidisciplinary staff that serves a diverse population of patients who make more than 120,000 visits annually. Considered a mainstay in the community, the Trice center is located on NW 22nd Avenue in Miami, diagonally across from another community stronghold, The Joseph Caleb Center.
Hosting the fair, complete with bounce houses, pony rides, food, entertainment, "snow" and Santa, is an opportunity, "To give back to the community. We provide primary medical services to the community and we've done that for the last 47 years," Sawyers explained before joining staff to pass out toys.
"We don't turn anyone away," she said.

Are the Austin bombings terrorism?
March 19, 2018 By Pete Trumbore
FBI agents at the scene of last night's bombing. (AP)
Four bombs have now gone off in Austin, Tx, over the last 17 days. The most recent was last night, a bomb triggered by a tripwire that left two men injured.
According to the FBI, this "changes things," representing a significant step up in the sophistication of the device compared to the earlier bombs which left two African-American men dead and a hispanic woman critically injured. All four devices share similarities which suggest they are the work of the same bomb maker.
The first three bombs were all left at residences, disguised as delivered packages. All detonated as the victims were opening or handling them. The fourth bomb was left on a roadside in a different area of the city.
Because the first two victims were black, a 39-year-old construction worker and a 17-year-old high school student, both related to prominent members of Austin's African-American community, the attacks have raised suspicion that they are racially motivated. The area where the first three bombs went off were neighborhoods east of I-35, the six-lane highway which divides the affluent and predominantly white west side of the city from where black and hispanic residents have historically lived on the east side.
The fourth bomb, however, breaks from that pattern. It was planted in the city's southwest. The two men injured in the blast are both white.
So where does that leave us? Can we describe these as acts of terrorism?
Four bombs have now gone off, all apparently the work of the same individual or group of individuals. The attacks have left the city on edge, with police urging the public to be alert for suspicious packages. The neighborhood where the fourth bomb went off was placed on lockdown until this afternoon, with residents kept in their homes and school buses ordered to stay away. The identities of the first three victims suggest a possible motivation.
That last is the key to understanding whether or not what is happening in Austin constitutes terrorism or something else. Definitions of terrorism typically focus on several key elements: threat or use of violence; intention to create fear in an audience beyond the immediate victims of an attack; all in the service or pursuit of some political/social/religious motivation or objective.
So that's what we still need to know about the Austin attacks. Until we find some further evidence of common ideological motivation connecting the bombings, we will have to reserve judgment.
Another typical American terrorist
Accused terrorist Michael Hari (Chicago Tribune photo)
Last August, a mosque in Minnesota was bombed. Yesterday, three men from a rural central Illinois town were charged with carrying out the attack, which, according to the FBI, was intended to frighten Muslims in to fleeing the United States.
This, my friends, is the very definition of terrorism:
[T]he threatened or actual use of illegal force and violence by a non-state actor to attain a political, economic, religious, or social goal through fear, coercion, or intimidation.
The three men charged, Michael Hari, Joe Morris, and Michael McWhorter, all come from the same tiny town of Clarence, Ill., with a population of fewer than 100. They are also suspected of carrying out a failed bombing attack on an Illinois abortion clinic.
Hari, a former sheriff's deputy who is the suspected "mastermind" of the bombings, was featured in the Chicago Tribune last spring after the global security firm he founded, Crisis Resolution Security Services, submitted a $10 billion bid to build President Donald Trump's promised wall on the US-Mexico border. He described his proposed border wall this way:
We would look at the wall as not just a physical barrier to immigration but also as a symbol of the American determination to defend our culture, our language, our heritage, from any outsiders.
Less than six months later, according to the FBI, Hari and his companions decided to defend American culture, language, and heritage not with a wall, but with pipe bombs.
I have written it over, and over, and over again in this space: The typical face of terrorism in America belongs to an angry white man.
This week in terrorism history: March 4-10
March 5, 2018 By Pete Trumbore
Editor's note — Your humble blogger got a little behind the last few weeks, and so it's been a bit since I posted one of these looks back. I don't expect many of you missed it, but just in case you did, apologies.
Much of the anxiety that fuels current fears about terrorism and propels US counterterrorism national security policy today has its origins in policy decisions and failures that stretch back almost 40 years now.
I have been reminded of that thanks to two different things I'm spending time with, Steve Coll's book Ghost Wars, on US foreign policy in Afghanistan from the Soviet invasion in 1980 to 9/11, and the Hulu adaptation of Lawrence Wright's The Looming Tower on the origins of the 9/11 attack and the mistakes and policy failures that allowed it to succeed.
Both offer a sobering reminder that when it comes to terrorism much of our current difficulties are of our own making. Coll reminds us that the training camps, stockpiles of weapons, ammunition, and explosives, and safe havens that were created as a flood of CIA money swelled the coffers of Afghan mujaheddin waging jihad against the Russians would later constitute the "terrorist infrastructure" facilitating attacks on the United States and its interests.
Coll's book and the Hulu miniseries remind us that the institutional jealousies, rivalries, and dysfunctions that prevented the CIA and FBI from working together to prevent the 9/11 attack were present from the outset as the US government stumbled its way to developing a coherent response to international terrorism.
Both Coll's book and the Hulu series are highly recommended. Now for this week's look back.
March 4, 1999 — Batman, Turkey: Three people are killed in a suicide bombing. The Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) is suspected.
March 5, 1998 — Sri Lanka: The Tamil Tigers (LTTE) are blamed for a bus bomb that kills 37 and wounds more than 250.
March 6, 1999 — Venezuela: The bodies of three American peace activists are found. The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) are blamed for their deaths.
March 7, 1973 — New York City: Vehicle bombs are discovered and defused at the El Al terminal at Kennedy International Airport, the First Israel Bank and Trust Co., and the Israel Discount Bank. Nearly 20 years later, in 1991, a member of the Palestinian group Black September is arrested and convicted in connection with the thwarted bombings.
March 8, 1978 — Portadown, Northern Ireland: Members of the Red Hand Commando, a loyalist paramilitary group with links to the Ulster Volunteer Force, kill two Catholics, one a civilian and the other a member of the Irish National Liberation Army.
March 9, 2000 — Houston: Federal agents arrest Mark Wayne McCool, the one-time leader of the Texas Militia and Combined Action Program on charges of conspiring to attack the federal building there.
March 10, 2011 — Alaska: Six members of the antigovernment Alaska Peacemakers Militia, including its leader, are arrested and charged with plotting to kill or kidnap state troopers and a Fairbanks judge. The group's cache of weapons included a .50-caliber machine gun, grenades, and a grenade launcher.
Parkland looks like terrorism
February 15, 2018 By Pete Trumbore

The Anti-Defamation League reports that the leader of the white supremacist Republic of Florida has acknowledged that the accused shooter in yesterday's mass killing at a high school in Parkland, Fla., was associated with his group.
After self-described ROF members claimed on the discussion forum 4chan that Cruz had also been a member, the Anti-Defamation League called the ROF hotline and spoke with an ROF member who identified himself as Jordan Jereb.
Jereb, based in Tallahassee, is believed to be the leader of ROF. In 2016, he was arrested on charges of threatening a staffer in the office of Florida Governor Rick Scott because he was allegedly angry at the staffer's son.
Jereb said that Cruz was associated with ROF, having been "brought up" by another member. Jereb added that Cruz had participated in one or more ROF training exercises in the Tallahassee area, carpooling with other ROF members from south Florida.
ABC News has much more on Nikolas Cruz and his ties to ROF:
ROF has mostly young members in north and south Florida and describes itself as a "white civil rights organization fighting for white identitarian politics" and seeks to create a "white ethnostate" in Florida.
Three former schoolmates of Cruz told ABC News that Cruz was part of the group. They claimed he marched with the group frequently and was often seen with Jereb, who also confirmed to ABC News that Cruz was, at least at one point, part of that group.
Jereb told the ADL that ROF had not ordered Cruz to take any such action. He told ABC News he has not spoken to Cruz in "some time" but said "he knew he would getting this call." He would not comment further but emphasized that his group was not a terrorist organization.
We spend so much time whipping up fear of terrorists as alien others. Turns out they live right next door. And look just like us.

a middle of feature or you can have a bad paremeter or not well tested feature.
Really, it can be only a consequence. I have noticed that at me without parametre -d motion too passes in a condition segmentation fault. I will investigate code dumpы, I will save up statistics and later I will send result.
For myself I have solved a problem. Has found in archive the old version motion 3.2.9. Has corrected ffmpeg.c (SupportQuestion2008x10x25x070400). It became normal.

All-Weather Championships Finals: Fahey hopeful George Bowen can beat hot-pot Kachy to secure fourth sprint final

Horse Talk with Simon Jackson:
Top horse racing tips and the latest news.
RICHARD Fahey is targeting a fourth win in the £150,000 Betway All-Weather Sprint Championship Final with George Bowen at Lingfield Park on Friday.
The Malton-based trainer has a fantastic record in the six-furlong Class 2 event at the £1-million All-Weather Championships Finals Day, having won the race three times since the championships were inaugurated in 2014.
Fahey scored at his first attempt with Alben Star on April 18, 2014 as Lingfield made history by becoming the first English course to stage horse racing on Good Friday.
The trainer followed up with victories in 2016 (Alben Star) and Kimberella (2017) and anticipates a bold run from 8-1 shot George Bowen, who booked his place in the valuable contest with a decisive victory in a Class 2 event at Kempton Park on March 30.
"George Bowen runs in the All-Weather Sprint," Fahey confirmed. "He qualified for finals day on his latest outing – we had to get three runs into him and luckily we did that in time.
"He won very nicely at Kempton the other day and hopefully he can go well in the sprint. Kachy (5-6 favourite) will take a fair bit of beating, but George Bowen will hopefully be thereabouts."
The Tom Dascombe-trained Kachy is the clear market leader after clocking a record time over course and distance when landing the Listed Betway Cleves Stakes at Lingfield on February 2.
The Lingfield victory followed an emphatic win at Wolverhampton. The six-year-old has won four of his five starts on the all-weather, with his sole defeat coming when second in this last year's sprint championship final.
Kachy's owner, David Lowe, speaking on Saturday, said: "Kachy is in very good form. He did his last piece of work on Wednesday and everybody is happy with him.
"Tom is delighted with his preparation and his work rider was happy with how everything went earlier this week.
"Kachy has been in great form throughout the winter and he has won both of his races impressively. He won both races in more impressive manner than he did with his wins leading up to last year's All-Weather Finals Day.
"I just think, particularly this year, he is much more relaxed. We feel like he has grown up a lot more this season. Last year, he could get a little fractious in his races, but this year he has been much more laid-back.
"Hopefully, he goes close at Lingfield and we are looking forward to running him."

It is affectionately said that what Oracle is to Relational Database, Cloudera is to Hadoop. Most of the Hadoop aspirants, at the beginning of their Hadoop development learning curve, fiddle with the setting up of CDH, some able to do it smoothly (Cloudera has put up an incredibly exhaustive installation guide), some requires to really sweat it out (few finer details and prerequisites are either missing or not enough emphasized upon) and very few actually gives it up losing their way in the verbose and cover-all-cases installation guide(multiple way of set up and different set of instructions for different linux OS; sometimes too much of variations for impatient starters). So there is a target audience for one more set up document which is leaner, meaner and streamlined with only one (the most preferred) variation. Try it at home!!
Cloudera Manager automates the installation and configuration of CDH 5.
Note : Installing user to have root or password-less sudo SSH access to cluster's machines.
Note : Set PubkeyAuthentication to Yes.
Note : 0 means it's enabled and 1 is disabled.
Important: In some Ubuntu system we don't have 'admin' group by default; instead we have a group named 'adm' (or may be something else); so make the below changes accordingly.
If in your system you have 'admin' group, follow below steps else check out for admin group usage and replace it with adm (or whatever else group you have) group.
#log_bin should be on a disk with enough free space. Replace '/var/lib/mysql/mysql_binary_log' with an appropriate path for your system and chown the specified folder to the mysql user.
Need to record the values you enter for database names, user names, and passwords. The Cloudera Manager installation wizard requires this information to correctly connect to these databases.
When the installation completes, the complete URL provided for the Cloudera Manager Admin Console, including the port number, which is 7180 by default.
Benefit: parcels provide a mechanism for upgrading the packages installed on a cluster from within the Cloudera Manager Admin Console with minimal disruption.
Caution: If you need to rerun the installer file (.bin) it may get locked. UI of installer will then wait forever to get the required file system locks before actual installation. You need to delete the lock files.
As of April, 2015 I have around 10 years of IT experience, all in development track with J2EE technology stack (Struts, Spring, JMS, JPA, EJB)and Content Management (FileNet). My recent tryst with Hadoop ecosystem opens up altogether a different world to me. How I am poaching (for failing to poach) time from my grueling delivery schedule of my employer now becomes a really interesting hide and seek game for me. But soon I will be setting up CDH at my workplace and engage in a client POC.


it was another pack-til-the-last-minute, stay-up-all-day-and-night, overdose-on-caffeine move, but it was wonderful (or at least more wonderful than the break-down-crying-on-the-side-of-the-road trip we had down to dallas).
this time the journey was made easier with the help of aaron's trusty old friend, adderall extended-release, and by the addition of angelo, his younger brother. the two quirky italians hadn't seen each other in over a year and had plenty of catching up to do; needless to say, there were very few silent moments during the drive. we were able to keep ourselves awake and entertained by coming up with interesting questions. for example: if you had to have one animal body part, what would it be and why? i said i'd take the wings of marahute, the giant golden eagle from the rescuers down under, because duh.
it wasn't until we crossed into kansas around 4 in the morning that we all started to feel a bit sluggish. the caffeine was wearing off, and we were forced to get a bit more creative (and, at times, uncomfortably personal) with our questions.
somehow the topic of faith, specifically christianity, came up amid some rather odd "would you rather" questions (that i've since forgotten, but clearly recall being odd); the boys spoke of how the church they grew up in had negatively impacted them and their views on christ-followers and christianity as a whole.
it hurt to hear how badly they felt they had been messed up by what their church had taught. they were made to feel dirty and ashamed when they would (inevitably) slip up and be less than perfect, as humans always do; they didn't seem to know the loving, forgiving god i did.
we sat quietly for a few minutes. i don't think anyone knew what to say.
the early morning light seemed to take longer than usual to greet us; the hills and the plains and the dark, black night felt endless. the starlight above was so dim, i could barely make out the clouds that were rolling by. when we were half an hour from "home," the sky turned a muted, misty grey-blue, and sleet and snow began falling so hard we could barely see the road in front of us.
when the brothers finally switched places, aaron rested his head, closed his eyes, and was out like a light. liam joined the party right as we pulled into angelo's driveway; it was another successful drive-through-the-night, not-mess-liam's-sleep-schedule-up move. we thanked angelo for all of his help and said goodnight (at 8 in the morning).
being back, driving through our home town and seeing all the old familiar places, i had a hard time believing we had been gone for over a year. we had left and returned during winter; everything still looked the same; nothing had changed.
it almost felt as though we had never even left — as though i had just woken from a long, vivid dream and everything i thought i had experienced the past 384 days wasn't true.
but it was true. it did happen.
and walking through my parents' door, running down the stairs to find my emerald green room and melt into my white cloud of a bed, was true. this — being home — was really happening.
"there's no place like home.

It took almost six hours for the Constitutional Court of Indonesia (Mahkamah Konstitusi) on Thursday (21/08) to read out 300 pages of a lengthy 4,392-page verdict in the case filed by defeated presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto, who claimed that the result of Indonesia's July 2014 presidential election was invalid due to widespread violations and fraud that allegedly occurred during the voting and counting processes. During the read out it became increasingly clear that the court would reject Subianto's claims due to a lack of evidence.
The nine-judge court rejected all charges filed by Subianto's lawyers. The verdict of the Constitutional Court is final and legally binding and thus makes it definite that Joko Widodo (popularly known as Jokowi), incumbent Governor of Jakarta and the clear market favourite due to his reform-mindedness, will become the seventh president of Indonesia in October 2014.
Subianto and his running mate Hatta Rajasa left a reaction on the court's verdict to the spokesman (Tantowi Yahya) of the Merah-Putih coalition, the coalition of political parties that support Subianto. This coalition consists of Gerindra, PAN, PKS, PPP, Golkar, and PBB and represent over half of Indonesian parliament (DPR) based on the result of Indonesia's April legislative election (the term merah-putih, meaning red-white, refers to the Indonesian flag). However, it is unclear whether this coalition will stay intact or that some parties will shift their support to the Jokowi coalition now that the final curtain has dropped for Subianto. During a press conference shortly after the verdict, the Merah-Putih coalition acknowledged the verdict but also expressed its disappointment that the court refrained to uphold justice for the sake of Indonesia and promised to keep fighting for the Indonesian people through institutions within the political system (DPR and MPR), making sure that the checks-and-balances system works in order to monitor the next government.
According to the court there occurred no illegitimate acts regarding the list of people eligible to vote in the presidential election that was held on 9 July 2014. One of the main claims of Subianto's camp was that this list had been modified to secure a win for Jokowi. The court replied that if the Subianto camp had complaints about this eligible voter list then they should have come forward in the period the General Elections Commission (KPU) had set out for that purpose.
There were some clashes between Subianto supporters and the Indonesian police force around the Constitutional Court building in Central Jakarta on Thursday, resulting in 46 injured people. The police fired tear gas and used water cannons to keep the supporters at a safe distance from the building. It is estimated that a couple of thousand Subianto supporters gathered in Central Jakarta. Four people were arrested for inciting the crowd.
After the verdict was read out, soon-to-be president Joko "Jokowi" Widodo and Indonesia's next vice-president Jusuf Kalla announced that they would immediately start to prepare the next cabinet to guide the nation between October 2014 and 2019. The pair will also meet current cabinet members to discuss present issues that are faced by Indonesia.
