Thoughtful Interview in the Shadow of Treyvon Martin's Death
The death of Treyvon Martin rests on the minds and hearts of many Americans. The controversy over the investigation and delay of charges toward his killer George Zimmerman resound throughout the media. Local news outlets estimate that tens of thousands will attend a rally today in Sanford, Florida demanding justice for Martin's death. His parents collected over 1.5 million signatures on Change.org to petition law enforcement in Sanford to take action. Obama responded sympathetically to the event stating, "If I had a son, he'd look like Treyvon." Commentary on the event and the racial and legal implications resound throughout the blogosphere.
Through the uproar about this tragic issue, I zeroed in on a story about a woman who lost her favorite brother in an incident similar to Martin's killing. When her African American sons entered adolescence, she addressed the prejudice they would face and tried to prepare her boys to avoid confrontations that could unjustly challenge their lives.
NPR interviewed author Donna Britt last week, but she has been talking about misperceptions of African American men since at least 1994. Britt wrote about the talks she had with her adolescent sons in her Washington Post column. For the interview with NPR, two of her sons joined her and discussed the bias they face as African American young men.
Britt and her sons spoke openly about preparing for prejudice and the frustrations that come from being stereotyped. Darrell Britt-Gibson reflected on the tension and the susceptibility he feels around law enforcement, "I mean, it's hard not to be black you know."
Justin Britt-Gibson commented on the Treyvon Martin case, "[A]m I hurt? Absolutely. Does my heart break? Without a doubt. But am I surprised? No. And I think that's part of the bigger problem."
I would recommend this interview to anyone willing to get a broader perspective about the racial tensions surfacing with Martin's death.
Britt, who impressed me with her pragmatic approach toward racism, ended the interview with an interesting insight toward change.
She said, "[R]acism is, I think, a bit like being in the water or the air. And I think of it the same way that I think of sexism. These things, we absorb them. And so it takes time and love and forgiveness, and shining a bright light on situations like what happened to Trayvon, to really make the shifts deep enough and permanent enough that things like this don't happen."

« St. Alphonus Liguori – August 1
Monday Digest »
Our Lady of the Angels
August 2, 2020 by Amy Welborn
That's today.
(If you ever go to Assisi and arrive by train, your station is at Santa Maria degli Angeli, and you then take some other means to get up the hill.)
EWTN Vatican correspondent Joan Lewis gave a good explanation of both the Porziuncola and the Pardon of Assisi a few years ago:
Having prayed and meditated and discovered his vocation here in 1209, St. Francis founded the Friars Minor and eventually obtained the chapel from the Benedictines as a gift to be the center of his new Order.
Here, on March 28, 1211, Clare, the daughter of one Favarone di Offreduccio received the habit of the Poor Clares from Francis, thus instituting that Order.
And now we come to 1216 when St.Francis, in a vision, obtained what is know as the Pardon of Assisi or Indulgence of the Porziuncola (also written Portiuncula), approved by Pope Honorius III. This special day runs from Vespers on August 1 to sundown of August 2.
According to the official Porziuncola website, one night in 1216 Francis was immersed in prayer when suddenly the chapel was filled with a powerful light, and he saw Christ and His Holy Mother above the altar, surrounded by a multitude of angels.
They asked him what he wanted to be able to save souls and Francis' answer was immediate: "I ask that all those who, having repented and confessed, will come to visit this church will obtain full and generous pardon with a complete remission of guilt."
The Lord then said to Francis: "What you ask, Brother Francis, is great but you are worthy of greater things and greater things you will have. I thus accept your prayer, but on the understanding that you ask my vicar on earth, in my name, for this indulgence."
Francis immediately went to Pope Honorius who listened attentively and gave his approval. To the question, "Francis, for how many years do you wish this indulgence?" the saint replied: "Holy Father, I do not ask for years, but for souls."
And thus, on August 2, 1216, together with the bishops of Umbria, he announced to the people gathered at the Porziuncula: "My brothers, I want to send all of you to Heaven."
Francis gathered his brother Franciscans here every year in a general chapter to discuss the Rule of the Order, to be renewed in their work and to awaken in themselves a new fervor in bringing the Gospel to the world.
It is also the site of St. Francis' death.
" He was at that time dwelling in the palace of the Bishop of Assisi, and therefore he asked the brethren to carry him with all speed to the "place" of St. Maria de Portiuncula, for he wished to give back his soul to God there, where (as has been said) he first knew the way of the truth perfectly….
…Then, for that he was about to become dust and ashes, he bade that he should be laid on sackcloth and sprinkled with ashes. All the brethren (whose father and leader he was) came together, and, as they stood reverently by and awaited his blessed departure and happy consummation, his most holy soul was released from the flesh and absorbed into the abyss of light, and his body fell asleep in the Lord. But one of his brethren and disciples, a man of no small fame, whose name I think it right to suppress now because while he lives in the flesh he chooses not to glory in such an announcement, saw the soul of the most holy father ascending over many waters in a straight course to heaven, and his soul was as it were a star having in some sort the bigness of the moon and possessing somewhat of the brightness of the sun, and borne up by a little white cloud.
It is also the spot where, according to her Spiritual Autobiography, Simone Weil prayed for the first time. From John Paul II's letter on the occasion of the re-opening of the Porziuncola after the 1996 earthquake.
The little church of the Porziuncola preserves and hands on a message and a special grace deriving from the actual experiences of the Poverello of Assisi. Message and grace still continue, and form a powerful summons to any who will allow themselves to be drawn by his example. This is borne out by the witness of Simone Weil, a daughter of Israel who fell under the spell of Christ: "Alone in the tiny romanesque chapel of St Mary of the Angels, a unique wonder of purity in which Francis had often prayed, I experienced a force greater than myself that drove me, for the first time in my life, to my knees"
The Porziuncola plays a part, naturally, in Adventures in Assisi. It provides a climax of sorts, in the story in which the two children have walked in the footsteps of St. Francis, both literally and spiritually, having learned some lessons about humility and poverty of spirit.
Ann Engelhart found it a challenge to do a painting in which the scale of the small chapel in the huge basilica was evident, but still include the children. But I think she did a great job!
on August 3, 2020 at 7:21 am Laycistercians
Christian monasteries have been fountains of God's grace throughout the history of Western civilization and now into our globalized world. For many centuries, these "quiet pools of freshwater" have drawn all sorts of people who seek a deeper relationship with God and a quiet place to pray, spiritually refresh themselves and reflect on God's teachings in a meaningful way.

What Is Organizational Behavior?
Organizational behavior (OB) is the academic study of the ways people act within groups. Its principles are applied primarily in attempts to make businesses operate more effectively.
The study of organizational behavior includes areas of research dedicated to improving job performance, increasing job satisfaction, promoting innovation, and encouraging leadership. Each has its own recommended actions, such as reorganizing groups, modifying compensation structures, or changing methods of performance evaluation.
The study of organizational behavior has its roots in the late 1920s, when the Western Electric Company launched a now-famous series of studies of the behavior of workers at its Hawthorne Works plant in Cicero, Illinois.
Researchers there set out to determine whether workers could be made to be more productive if their environment was upgraded with better lighting and other design improvements. To their surprise, the researchers found that the environment was less important than social factors. It was more important, for example, that people got along with their co-workers and felt their bosses appreciated them.
Those initial findings inspired a series of wide-ranging studies between 1924 and 1933. They included the effects on productivity of work breaks, isolation, and lighting, among many other factors.
The best known of the results is called the Hawthorne Effect, which describes the way test subjects' behavior may change when they know they are being observed. Researchers are taught to consider whether and to what degree the Hawthorne Effect is skewing their findings on human behavior.
Organizational behavior was not fully recognized by the American Psychological Association as a field of academic study until the 1970s. However, the Hawthorne research is credited for validating organizational behavior as a legitimate field of study, and it's the foundation of the human resources profession as we now know it.
Goals of Organizational Behavior Study
The leaders of the Hawthorne study had a couple of radical notions. They thought they could use the techniques of scientific observation to increase an employee's amount and quality of work. And, they did not look at workers as interchangeable resources. Workers, they thought, were unique in terms of their psychology and potential fit within a company.
Over the following years, the concept of organizational behavior widened. Beginning with World War II, researchers began focusing on logistics and management science. Studies by the Carnegie School of Home Economics in the 1950s and 1960s solidified these rationalist approaches to decision-making.
Today, those and other studies have evolved into modern theories of business structure and decision-making.
The new frontiers of organizational behavior are the cultural components of organizations, such as how race, class, and gender roles affect group building and productivity. These studies take into account the ways in which identity and background inform decision-making.
Organizational behavior is the study of how people behave within groups.
Early studies determined the importance of group dynamics in business productivity.
The study of organizational behavior is a foundation of corporate human resources.
Where Organizational Behavior Is Studied
Academic programs focusing on organizational behavior are found in business schools as well as at schools of social work and psychology. These programs draw from the fields of anthropology, ethnography, and leadership studies, and use quantitative, qualitative, and computer models as methods to explore and test ideas.
Depending on the program, one can study specific topics within organizational behavior or broader fields within it. Specific topics covered include cognition, decision-making, learning, motivation, negotiation, impressions, group process, stereotyping, and power and influence. The broader study areas include social systems, the dynamics of change, markets, relationships between organizations and their environments, how social movements influence markets, and the power of social networks.
Real World Examples of Organizational Behavior
Findings from organizational behavior research are used by executives and human relations professionals to better understand a business's culture, how that culture helps or hinders productivity and employee retention, and how to evaluate candidates' skills and personality during the hiring process.
Organizational behavior theories inform real-world evaluation and management of groups of people. There are a number of components:
Personality plays a large role in the way a person interacts with groups and produces work. Understanding a candidate's personality, either through tests or through conversation, helps determine whether they are a good fit for an organization.
Leadership, what it looks like and where it comes from, is a rich topic of debate and study within the field of organizational behavior. Leadership can be broad, focused, centralized or de-centralized, decision-oriented, intrinsic in a person's personality, or simply a result of a position of authority.
Power, authority, and politics all operate inter-dependently in a workplace. Understanding the appropriate ways these elements are exhibited and used, as agreed upon by workplace rules and ethical guidelines, are key components to running a cohesive business.
Social sciences are a group of academic disciplines that examine society and how people interact and develop as a culture.
What is the Hawthorne Effect?
The Hawthorne Effect is when people, who are the subjects of an experimental study, change or improve their behavior because it is being studied.
Experimental Economics Definition
Experimental economics studies human behavior in a controlled laboratory setting, to test economic theories by seeing how people respond to incentives.
Behavioral Economics is the study of psychology as it relates to the economic decision-making processes of individuals and institutions.
Conflict Theory Definition
The conflict theory states that society is in a constant state of conflict due to competition for limited resources.

Doomed Climate Lawsuits Waste Precious Time and Money - February 12, 2020
History shows Earth's climate goes through cycles, long and short, tied to a variety of natural factors. In the latter part of the 20th century, some scientists began to wonder about the causes of a modest warming, then cooling, then warming, which had been occurring since the mid-1800s. They also began to worry about the possible implications of continued warming.
Unfortunately, before scientists had gotten very far along in their research, politicians became involved, virtually destroying any chance for unbiased research.
In 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his now-famous farewell address warning of two dangers: the growing arms industry driven by the Cold War, which he referred to as the "military-industrial complex," and the growing government influence over the development and use of science and technology. Eisenhower, noting scientific research was increasingly funded by governments, warned science's aims might become corrupted. He believed science could eventually be used as a force for advancing the political aims of a scientific-technological elite. Eisenhower said, "We must also be alert to the … danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite."
The history of governments' involvement in climate research proves Eisenhower's skill for predicting the future.
When the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was adopted by governments in 1992, the die was cast. The convention was established on the assumption that human carbon-dioxide emissions were causing temperatures to rise to what many said were dangerous levels. The UNFCCC was established to determine ways to limit temperature increases. When the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was formed, it was charged with understanding the human causes of climate change, not with determining the cause of warming. As the saying goes, "If you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail," and so it was with the IPCC. The leaders of the panel are political appointees, and each Assessment Report and Synthesis Report issued by the IPCC on the state of climate science is vetted, altered and approved by member governments.
Although the scientists working on the various IPCC reports generally do good work, when their findings conflict with the panel's dogma about humans causing dangerous global warming, the findings are ignored, downplayed or, in the summary reports, even altered.
For instance, one section of Climate Change 1995: The Science of Climate Change: Contribution of Working Group I to the Second Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change originally stated, "While some of the pattern-base studies discussed here have claimed detection of a significant climate change, no study to date has positively attributed all or part [of the climate change observed] to [man-made] causes." Political intervention led to the statement being altered to read, "The body of statistical evidence in Chapter 8, when examined in the context of our physical understanding of the climate system, now points to a discernible human influence on the global climate."
Scientists are charged with studying the human causes of climate change, but the IPCC's "physical understanding of the climate system" is rather limited. Its own reports admit it has "low" understanding of 75 percent of the factors impacting climate change, although this hasn't stopped the panel from having a high degree of confidence human greenhouse gas emissions drive climate change.
More recently, political leaders at the IPCC have honestly admitted the push to limit carbon-dioxide emissions is not about protecting human health or the environment; it's about giving governments control over the world's economy. In February 2015, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, said, "This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history."
Cutting carbon-dioxide emissions by 80 percent below 2005 levels, as demanded by the convention, would bring per capita carbon-dioxide emissions down to levels not seen since the 19th century, because renewables can't replace fossil fuels and carbon-dioxide emissions can't be captured and sequestered underground for thousands of years. That means returning emission levels to a time before cars, trucks, airplanes, computers, cell phones, refrigerators, air conditioners, heating, electric lighting, electric tools, nighttime sporting events and concerts, and the long list of other modern technologies that make life longer, healthier and more fulfilling. In short, it means forgoing the vast majority of the technological innovations that have made Western societies wealthy.
The use of coal, oil, gasoline and natural gas make modern life possible. Where fossil fuels are in regular use, people are wealthy, and where they are not used, poverty, disease and hunger are rife. Repudiating the demands of governments behind the U.N. convention will allow fossil fuels to improve the lives of billions of people by providing low-cost energy for centuries to come.

Fun story. Loved the pirates. Couldn't jump from scene to scene via map, but that's ok. If stuck, map gives away where to go. Games are simple and have instructions. HOS are very visible, or you can opt to play mahjong. Don't think you can get all achievements in one gameplay though, as you need all HOS and 1/2 the mahjong. So stick to one the first time around if you're an over achiever :) Haven't played them in bonus section. Looking forward to playing II !!
I don't usually like 5G games, but this seems better than the average one they design. The free section was very short, but fun, and it shows promise to be interesting, but NOT worth $6.99. How do these game companies think players can afford their prices? I bought this game when the price came down. Excellent! I highly recommend this series. I now have three from this series and think they're all great.

Pulis unperturbed by Sherwood comments
West Brom head coach Tony Pulis insists there is no issue between him and Tim Sherwood over the Aston Villa manager's comments about the size of the two Midlands rivals.
Sherwood earned his first victory as Villa boss as a last-gasp Christian Benteke penalty sank West Brom 2-1 in Tuesday's Premier League encounter between the rivals at Villa Park.
Ahead of that game, Sherwood, who was previously linked with the post at The Hawthorns, described West Brom as a "good little club" before stating his joy at taking over a "massive club" like Villa.
A fixture list coincidence sees the teams go head-to-head again on Saturday in an FA Cup quarter-final tie at Villa Park, but Pulis insists there will be no animosity between the two opposing coaches.
"That is Tim - there are no problems with me or the chairman at all," he said.
"Tim is Tim and he will be good fun for everyone around the west Midlands for the time he is at Aston Villa I'm sure."
Pulis, who is without Victor Anichebe (groin) and Darren Fletcher (cup-tied), also stated that he will not be using Sherwood's words as a way of motivating his players to book a semi-final spot and a trip to Wembley.
"I don't need to pin that [Sherwood's comments] up in the changing room," he added.
"We have a good group of lads here and they will want to win the game as much as Villa will.
"I don't think we need any [extra] motivation. It's a local derby, it's the quarter-final of the FA Cup and it's absolutely wonderful that we've got to this stage.
"These are big games that everybody should look forward to and we will certainly be looking forward to it.
"We've got as good a chance [of winning the FA Cup] as any of the eight teams left in there. You go and ask Bradford [City]. They will fancy winning it as well."

Jazz Review
Tibet Review :: June 2006
"A re-issue of a 1983 recording, Tibet is essentially a soft suite of flute and guitar duets by guitarist Gregory James and friend Barry Shulman on the flute and other wind instruments. An album of eight original compositions, primarily from Shulman, the music hovers between World and New Age jazz.
With only two members of the band, the musicianship had to be good and it is. Shulman plays the flute exquisitely in a worldly and lofty style that at times seem to echo the howling winds from the Tibetan mountains. James on the other hand strums those chords with the grace and elegance that reveals a warm and gentle guitar.
The section opens up with two slow and melancholy numbers 'Calcutta' and 'Kapoor Hotel', both of which are introduced by Shulman on flute and then joined by James on acoustic guitar. 'Mountain Call' is a brief minute plus in duration while 'Antares', penned by James, is the longest tune at seven minutes and forty-two seconds and while it is considered one track, the number does break temporarily on my CD player and continues as track nine. James contributes many fine riffs on acoustic, electric and synthesized guitar on this album.
All of the music seems to be cut from the same slate since, in my humble opinion, the tunes all sound like different variations of the same type of melodies. You will not find fast paced fiery material here. The music is played in a low-tempo style providing a warm, calming and spiritual feeling to the listener. Not your typical mainstream jazz sound, this is listening music to sooth the soul. If you've had a rough day at the office or there's a lot of stress in your life at the moment, Tibet offers an escape from the real world and a relaxing sensation that lets you soar above your troubles on the gentle strings of James' guitar and the subtle songs from Shulman's flute."
Come To Me Review :: May 2006
"West coast guitarist Gregory James has been seeking out and exploring new musical territory for more than twenty years and the latest release...Come To Me certainly proves to be no exception. The music could be considered contemporary jazz but he successfully blends jazz roots with a veritable melange of r&b, Afro-Cuban, flamenco and Eastern influences to create a sound that is fresh, new and generally difficult to categorize.
'...The real strength of this CD is the sheer size of their sonic landscapes. Many of the songs are layered and filled out with cellos, violins, flutes and even turntables to create just the right texture and mood....The track Alphabet Town is a standout at almost 7 minutes, featuring a funky backbeat complete with turntables, violin, tablas and sax while Catie Murphy reads from poet T.S. Eliot's Rhapsody on a Windy Night. There are quite a few numbers which highlight James' technical prowesson on the acoustic guitar and songs like St. Alison and the brilliant ensemble work in the John Coltrane-ish vibe of Chant Odun give the listener a great taste of his playing abilities. The funny thing with this disc is, although it's James' name on the marquee you never get the feeling that this is anything less than a true band effort. It's not about his own solos, and he's got the chops to burn, as much as it is about placing the emphasis on his steller support cast and the songs themselves. Listen to Come To Me and marvel in music that celebrates cultural diversity, crosses borders and highlights top notch musicianship."
Come To Me Review :: August 2005
"Bring back Elvis! This funky new CD...isn't all together straight jazz and not yet all together world music. The Gregory James Band incorporates Brazil, Afro-Cuban, Gypsy Flamenco and The UK (especially the Liverpool scene) into Come To Me. It could be the album of the year in many circles.
Musicians on this album (there are 29) have all fine-tuned their craft in their individual field, whether it be the DJ Fly and his vinyl to Baron Shul with his baritone and tenor sax scattered all throughout...
'Let's get Elvis before he represents Dial Soap!' is a message in Jewel Silver (Bring Back Elvis). Beat poet Craig Easley reads/sings...it works extermely well. Excellent subtle tabla work by Jason Lewis here. Another song, Chant Odun, which Gregory James plays some great Brazillian style runs with Benny Rietveld provides us with programming extraordinaire. This album can sit really in any music store category whether it is Jazz, World, Brazillian or Flamenco. Gregory James and his all-star cast have put together an excellent album. There is something on here for everyone whether it is the smooth sax of Rita Thies on Intermezzo or the beat poetry of Craig Easley and Catie Murphy. In the liner notes Gregory James proclaims that 'Love Is All'. All I have is love for this album. This is a 2004/2005 must have. "

Wombaroo Teat C - Cats, rabbits, carnivorous marsupials. These latex teats are available with a sleeve to fit bottles with a neck diameter of 18-24mm. The 120 mL plastic wombaroo feed bottle fits these teats. Teats should resemble mothers; in shape and length for mouth comfort, fit and correct tooth eruption. Marsupial teats get longer as the joey grows, so progression to longer teats is important. Suggested uses for the various teat sizes and shapes can be seen in the photo, however individual carers will be able to decide which is the best for their individual animal.


With creative genius, inspiration and a smartphone, STLCC alum Ricky Montgomery has launched his career as a musician, writer, and producer on a shoestring budget in the way that this 22-year old knows best – digitally.
Without sending a single resume, Montgomery has already been hired by Adult Swim, a production and entertainment channel for young adults in New York City, created promos for the 2015 NCAA Basketball Final Four, and garnered $6000 in start-up money through Kickstarter.
It all started on January 24, 2013, the day after the Twitter-owned app Vine was launched. Montgomery always liked short form video, so his attraction to the app that enables users to record 6-second, looping videos was a welcome creative challenge.
He and his long-time friend Zach Gilmartin jumped onboard. "We got obsessed with it," recalls Montgomery. "We were inspired by Adam Goldberg who had done a series of videos featuring himself, his girlfriend, her friend and a blonde wig." Both men collaborated on the production ideas. Gilmartin filmed and Montgomery starred in the clips that were shared through Gilmartin's account (@zgilmartin).
"Our followers grew, and eventually one of the videos was selected as a Vine editor's pick," said Montgomery. They have continued to work together, and were selected in January 2015 as a runner up in an international Vine contest hosted by French digital marketing agency Armstrong. Meanwhile both of their accounts have grown. Ricky (@RickyMontgmery) has 161,800 followers and his videos have been viewed 65,105,450 times. Gilmartin has 67,900 followers and 11,352,180 "loops" or views.
After Montgomery finished his associate's degree at St. Louis Community College, he transferred to Mizzou, but quickly realized that he didn't want to follow the traditional route and earn his journalism degree. He turned to Nick Gallo, a Vine connection, who offered him an internship with Adult Swim.
The channel is best known for its Aqua Teen, Squid Bullies and Robot Chicken series, and is popular with cartoon and anime officianados between 18 and 35 years old.
"I flew to New York and worked for 6 months as a production intern; filming, running sound in the studio, editing and doing casting calls." When Turner decided not to renew the channel, Montgomery returned to St. Louis.
In the meantime, the musically talented Montgomery was writing and producing original songs and sharing glimpses of them through his Vine account. "I always wanted to do music, but thought it would be more on the side," Montgomery explained. However he had already built an audience through Vine, so when his EP titled "Caught on the Moon" finally debuted in November 2014, it charted on the iTunes rock chart for two days. Since then his songs ("Last Night, "Get Used to It," and "California") have been downloaded more than 10,000 times and the EP has over 255 5-star reviews.
When Montgomery was tapped to film Vine videos for the NCAA's Final Four Basketball tournament in March, he took a little reprieve from the album. But since then, he's been focusing all of his energy into completing it.
At the end of June 2015, Montgomery shot his first music video for the album at Tower Grove Park and locally in Wildwood. Dylan Schnitker, formerly of Webster University, was the director. The video is for "Don t Know How," and the album will be released sometime in Fall 2015.

Professor Evaluates Importance, Strategy of Twitter in Elections
Running for president in the digital age has brought a new requirement to the job: knowing how to work the Twittersphere.
Dr. Janet Johnson
That is the analysis of Dr. Janet Johnson, who teaches in the Emerging Media and Communications (EMAC) program at UT Dallas. Johnson has recently published an article in the Journal of Contemporary Rhetoric about the role of social media in presidential campaigns.
Johnson says that in 2008, President Barack Obama revolutionized the digital campaign with Twitter and blogs.
"Obama created a social networking website that allowed supporters and potential voters to participate in creating content as well as communicate with the campaign and with each other. Obama's campaign helped the audience members feel like they produced change by participating in the election."
To combat a digitally savvy incumbent Democrat, Republican candidate Mitt Romney spearheaded a comprehensive social media campaign. Johnson studied all of Romney's 161 tweets from Feb. 1 to May 31, 2012, to evaluate how effective his Twitter campaign has been.
"Romney's tweets referred to Obama 55 times, and tweeted expression of thanks to the audience 20 times. Most tweets included a link back to the campaign site, and to infographics about U.S. citizens, videos, or a written speech or opinion editorial submitted to a national newspaper," she wrote.
Johnson discusses the different rhetorical tools, situations and motivations behind specific tweets. She examines how tweets correlate with national news stories and how Romney aims to build credibility with undecided voters.
The Romney and Obama campaigns both have made extensive use of Twitter and other social media in their campaigns.
In the article, Johnson also cites the overall importance of using what she calls "Twitter bites."
"The candidates who use Twitter, Facebook, and blog can expand sound bites and ensure that the sound bites are accurate presentations of what the candidates want to present.
"Using Twitter bites rather than sound bites chosen by the media middleman allows politicians to give their readers a first-hand experience that other media cannot accomplish."
In addition to Twitter, Johnson is working on a new study about Facebook and how people feel about the 2012 candidates' Facebook pages. She's named the study Exposure or Rhetoric: Fan Politics on Facebook.
Johnson has a master's degree in journalism and a PhD in rhetoric. Her dissertation was titled Blogs and Dialogism in the 2008 United States Presidential Campaign.


Pomona parks are now smoke-free thanks to YOU!
As of April 2nd, 2015, all Pomona parks and city facilities are now smoke-free!
For the past three years, we have been coming together to create a healthier, cleaner Pomona, and as of April 2nd 2015, Clean Air Pomona reached its goal of making smoke-free parks a reality. With the help of residents, community agencies, and elected officials, we successfully advocated for a smoke-free ordinance that now helps protect our air and helps bring us one step closer to a healthier quality of life. We can now enjoy our beautiful outdoor spaces without harmful second-hand smoke, including fumes from e-cigs and vapes. None of this would have been possible without the endless help of our youth advocates that helped reach, survey, educate, and mobilize the community- THANK YOU.
Clean Air Pomona (CAP) is a coalition of committed community members DOing something to making Pomona a healthier, more vibrant city.


Early maps show an isolated farm called Rock above the woods to the west of the Plym, some distance north of Leigham House and immediately south of Eastover.
It wasn't until the second half of the twentieth century that this rural tranquillity was shattered and the developers moved in. A delightful Georgian residence, later christened Briarleigh, had been built onto the old farm site at Rock, in appearance a little like a very small scale Saltram House, and it remained occupied until 1965. The Corporation bought the house and plans to demolish the building were suspended when it was apparently discovered that the building was scheduled as being of architectural significance. However in 1967 a decision was taken to demolish on the grounds that "the present state" of the building did not make it an appropriate prospect for restoration.
Briarleigh Close has since been constructed on a part of the original farm site.

Hello Darkness, My Old Friend: How Daring Dreams and Unyielding Friendship Turned One Man's Blindness into an Extraordinary Vision for Life
Sanford D. Greenberg
Post Hill Press
"I felt as if I were in an enormous shadowy cavern, a void empty of anything or any sensation."
While a junior at Columbia University in New York City, Sanford Greenberg began to have vision problems. On a train ride home to Buffalo, "I felt as if I were in an enormous shadowy cavern, a void empty of anything or any sensation."
Greenberg lived, the eldest of three children, in Buffalo's poorest neighborhood during the 1940s. His father died suddenly when Greenberg was five.
When he was ten, his mother remarried, to her late husband's brother Carl, who went from uncle to stepdad to the young family. His mom had a fourth child, a daughter.
Carl was a junk dealer who moved the family to a house in a better neighborhood in Buffalo. In sixth grade, Sanford met Sue, the gal who would become his wife.
After graduating high school with many accolades, he went on to Columbia, where he majored in American history.
Fidel Castro once visited his campus in 1959, and his sociology professor arranged an introduction. Greenberg met Art Garfunkel after only a month at Columbia.
Garfunkel and Greenberg became close friends during freshman year. By sophomore year they were roomies and enjoyed highbrow discussions. "I would like you to give me the reasons why the sky is blue . . . and they have to be convincing ones."
Greenberg visited the Garfunkel home one weekend and was introduced to Garfunkel's friend who lived "around the corner" in Queens. That friend was Paul Simon.
During his junior year, Garfunkel noticed Greenberg was having difficulty seeing but Sanford was too busy with the Kennedy campaign to pay attention. Eventually a doctor prescribed a corticosteroid.
Unable to see, and therefore complete his final exams, he left for Buffalo. After being hospitalized, Greenberg was diagnosed with glaucoma, most likely caused by the steroid the first doctor thought would help.
Despite seeing a specialist in Detroit, the doctor told him, "Well, son, you are going to be blind tomorrow." His Buffalo girlfriend Sue tried to cheer him.
A social worker implied his destiny was to be either a justice of the peace or to make screwdrivers, none of which interested Greenberg. Determined for a greater life, he felt, "Seeds want to sprout and send out roots."
Garfunkel offered to help Greenberg return to Columbia. "We can figure something out," suggested Garfunkel. Garfunkel was true to his word and helped Greenberg hundreds of times over the years, as did Greenberg help Garfunkel.
Greenberg returned to Columbia and began a new normal, with fervor, of listening to tapes read by friends and volunteers from institutions for the blind, leaving little time for meals and studying from morning to late night.
While Greenberg was a senior at Columbia, the New York Times published an article about him. He was reluctant to publicize his blindness, though it addressed his academic successes. "If over the years I achieve something significant . . . then I might deserve some praise."
He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa his senior year at Columbia and was accepted to Harvard's graduate program.
Greenberg married Sue in August 1962, and Garfunkel sang at their wedding. The couple moved to Cambridge to begin his graduate studies, while Sue worked at a school for special-needs children.
He won a Marshall Scholarship at Oxford in England. After obtaining his Ph.D. (after many bloody headwounds from stumbles), Greenberg gave Garfunkel $400 because he wanted to leave architecture and record with Paul Simon.
With his doctorate, Greenberg applied to Harvard for a law degree; however, after accepting a one-year post at the White House, requiring world travel, he never returned to law school.
Greenberg opened a technology company, and in 1971, his stepdad died in a work-related accident.
He and his wife soon had two sons, Paul, and Jimmy, followed shortly by a daughter, Kathryn. Lovely summers in Maine. A full chapter is devoted to verbal snapshots of endearing milestones for the Greenberg family.
In the '80s there was a memorable road trip throughout the western United States with his two sons and Garfunkel, philosophical discussions abounding. "Who do we know who's had a peaceful, fulfilling latter part of life? Milton, perhaps."
Toward the end, Greenberg provides a balance sheet on his blindness in which assets far outweigh his liabilities. "Learning gives me a sensation of adding light to the darkness."
A final chapter recounts an imaginary party, with all of Greenberg's heroes and friends throughout history as revered guests. Greenberg and his wife have created the $3 million End Blindness by 2020 Prize.
With a Foreword by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Introduction by Art Garfunkel, and Final Word by Margaret Atwood, Hello Darkness My Old Friend is an enlightening read by a witty, appreciative, and accomplished Sanford Greenberg, who opens the reader's eyes to how to truly live life, sightless.

Once a Tiger: James Chu '00
James Chu '00 at the 2019 Brooklyn Mile.
Courtesy of Ben Ko
Ben Angarone
January 28, 2021 | 8:24pm EST
When James Chu '00 was accepted to Princeton, he immediately went on a run. He probably would've gone on a run if he was rejected, too.
On the University's alumni network site TigerNet, Chu's profile picture, an action shot from the 2012 Brooklyn Half Marathon, stands out in a sea of the default tiger silhouettes. Despite his day job, his Twitter page reads more like a runner's than a finance professional's. And if you Google his name — with the identifier "Princeton" afterwards — the result directly under his LinkedIn page is his bio on the Brooklyn Track Club (BKTC) website, adorned with another high-definition action shot and an all-caps title: "COACH CHU."
It would be easy to assume that running has been a constant in Chu's life, that one could draw an unbroken line from his beginnings in ninth grade indoor track all the way to the present. But Chu's progression from athlete to coach wasn't so clear-cut.
"I actually didn't finish out my Princeton career… I only had one healthy cross country season," he said.
According to Chu, after about eight years of competitive running, persistent stress fractures took their toll. Entering his senior-year cross country season, Chu once again found himself injured and needing to recover — a familiar scenario. But this time, his mindset was slightly different.
"After these injuries, I just didn't feel right. It just got hard. I'm like, you know, this is my senior year, maybe I just want to enjoy civilian life," he said.
Chu notified his coaches that he wouldn't be returning, and then, spurred on by one of his pole vaulter roommates, Chu started weightlifting — "you know, like Ryan Hall," he said.
"I was just like, 'I just want to bench more and more and more,'" Chu said. "And that just kind of took the place of running for a while."
College athletes have a variety of experiences post-graduation. Very few of them go on to play professionally; according to a 2013 study, almost 80 percent of former college athletes reported being less active than they were in college. Busy with careers and family life, athletic activity can fall by the wayside.
As an economics concentrator, Chu's future career seemed poised to be an especially large time commitment. Wall Street is a popular first stop for newly graduated Ivy Leaguers, despite the "horror stories" with which Chu was familiar.
"You hear, 'Oh, you got to work 60 to 100 hours a week.' Is that even possible? I'd never wanted that," he said.
But one of his roommates recommended trading, a financial career path that's mostly restricted to market hours, as opposed to investment banking's more punishing schedule. Chu applied to Susquehanna International Group, had what he described as "a really fun interview" — if you find Bayesian statistics to be fun — received an offer, and moved to New York.
For nearly a decade, Chu's running side lay dormant as he worked as an options trader, or a self-directed investor, and bulked up through weightlifting — and it showed.
"My wife just said that I looked stupid with these big arms," he said with a laugh.
Around 2010, with the help of his high school coach, Chu started running again. He joined North Brooklyn Runners, a running club that, according to its website, "run[s] the gamut from former elite runners and serious runners to recreational/casual runners."
Armed with knowledge and experience, Chu soon found himself offering advice to his teammates. His past injuries and setbacks could almost be described as an asset in this role: "Sometimes when you're too good," he said, "you're just not necessarily a good coach, because you never had to deal with any challenges."
Chu's had his fair share of running-related challenges — even in college, his body didn't appreciate the strain that running put on him; at almost 43 years old, things hadn't exactly gotten better.
"My age has really caught up with me," he said. "It's almost as if I can feel every injury I've ever had, all at once, in the first mile or so before things start to loosen up."
Now, a large part of Chu's motivation is running with other people, so quarantine was a disappointment in that regard — "that's when I realized how much I needed my teammates," he said.
With less socialization currently happening within his new club, BKTC, Chu recognizes that it's easier for people at the fringes of the club to not feel as engaged. And now, as an assistant coach for BKTC, he said, he tries to reach out to those people and let them know "we're still here."
I asked Chu: if he was writing this profile, what would be important to mention? What major themes should I include?
"How much running has given me," he said.
This wasn't surprising — we talked about career stuff for a little less than 10 minutes, with most of the rest of our conversation revolving around running to some extent. He didn't even talk much about a nine-month layoff from work in 2013.
He tried to find a way to weave everything together: "It would have been great if it was like, 'Oh yeah, and this Princeton runner ended up giving me my job,' but that's not exactly what happened," he said. Instead, he grinded through free courses for nine months to transition from options trading to data analytics. But Chu didn't dwell on this career pivot, instead circling right back to what he really lives and breathes: running.
Stalking Chu online for hours just yielded more running material. His Instagram page @runcoachu has over 1,500 posts, many of which have captions like "Team Chu race report" and "Tbt to the very last moment that I thought the marathon was fun." He's been profiled by his old club, the North Brooklyn Runners, in a piece that discussed his race strategies and lactate threshold workouts. And he's even done some of his own writing for Cloud259, a website devoted to distance running — the "259," of course, signifying the timestamp needed to break three hours in the marathon.
Chu's writing analyzes track performances at New York City's storied indoor venue, the Armory, with a couple articles focusing on post-meet workouts and others examining actual race performances. Reading his work, his excitement for the sport is palpable.
He remains especially fond of competitive collegiate runners, who, as he writes in his analysis of the 2016 Millrose Games, are driven by something more "pure" than money: "the glory and love of sport and competition."

ID3v2 tags has a dynamic structure where the length of the tag is variable and inside the tag, there can stay a lot of frames which again can be of dynamic sizes. The size of the tag is stored in the ID3v2 tag header is of length 4 bytes long. These 4 bytes are stored in a special format which is called a synchronization safe integer. Also from ID3v2.4 tags also the frame size bytes which are stored in the frame headers, describing the frame's length, are stored as 4 byte synchronization safe integer.
Read this post to know more about ID3 tags: What are ID3 Tags all about?
A 4byte synchronization safe integer is stored such that the MSB of each byte, that is the 7th bit (count starts from 0), is always zero. So a synchronization safe integer always have the 7th bit of each byte 0. Note that the relative ordering of the bytes are as big-endian, that is the most significant byte is on higher address. Check This blog post : Little and Big Endian conversion and Wikipedia link for more information on endian.
So for example a 4 byte integer 0x000000FF whose binary representation is 00000000 00000000 00000000 11111111 will be represented as 00000000 00000000 00000001 01111111 in the synchronization safe format. If any of the MSB of a byte is 1, then it is shifted above on the next significant byte. Check the below examples.
Note that a 4 byte synchronization safe integer can only use only 28 of its bits, as each MSB of the 4 bytes are 0. And thus the range of the value of a synchronization safe integer which it is capable to encode is 228 - 1 = 268435455 = 0x0FFFFFFF. So in ID3v2.x tags a tag can be at max 268435456 bytes = 256MB long.
An integer can be easily converted to synchronization safe integer just by inserting a 0 in between the 6th and 7th bit of every byte of the 4 byte word, and then taking the first 32 bytes from LSB (ignoring the remaining 4 bytes starting from MSB positions) the as the synchronization safe integer.
Similarly a synchronization safe integer can be converted to normal representation by removing the MSB (the 0 byte) of each byte of the 4 byte word, and then joining them. The resulting 28 bit value is the decoded value.
Encoding and decoding synchronization safe integers are very important in ID3v2.x tag parsing. Especially in ID3v2.4 because except the tag size byte the frame size bytes are also stored as synch-safe integers.
It is used to avoid false synchronization signals. MPEG audio files are divided into small, independent frames containing music data. Each frame has a 32 bits long descriptive header, the upper 11 or 12 bytes of which are always set to '1' (ie. Values starting with 0xFFF or 0xFFE), and this header is called the frame sync. This is used by the decoders to detect an audio frame for playing. Now is an ID3 tag had some part of it with 0xFFE or 0xFFF (the top 11 or 12 bytes set to '1'), old media players, which cannot read ID3v2 tags, could wrongly detect the portion of the tag as an audio frame's frame sync. A number constructed in such a manner, as described above (synch-safe integer), could never have a combination starting with 0xFF and hence, numbers represented in such a manner would never cause a false sync. Such integers are called synchronization safe integers, because they are safe from false synchronization.
The code below converts 4 byte integers to and from synchronization safe integers and normal integers. The code accepts an integer in the commandline. There are two commandline options -e encodes the given integer into synch-safe integer, and the -d option decodes the input integer to a normal integer.
I will encourage to read the bit shifting part to understand how it works.
It would be good if you could explain more in detail the bit operations given on the source code, because some readers may not have the "skills" to understand them correctly (including me), that would be a plus+ for the article. I'm currently working on a ID3v2.3 library, and since this is one of the most trickiest parts of reading an ID3v2.3 header, your explanation could "cut" this.
By the way, the blog and the article, are totally awesome!.
I think you should have a look at how the bitshift operators work from any standard C book or site, and may also have a look at the section 6.5.7 in the ISO/IEC standard for C, which describes the Bitshift operators. Try manually tracing what actually happens when performing the shifts and logical AND operations (section 6.5.14). Then it will be clear i guess.
am trying to reproduce the decoding part of your code in java but am having problems with line 77. it returns an int value where a boolean value is required for the if structure.
Please can you kindly help me out here. I've been stuck on this project for a while now.
means simply if x & 0xf0000000 is non-zero then enter the if block.
Also note for Java you need to apply the unsigned right shift operator >>> for proper operation.

Reds trade rumors: Mariners interested in Zack Cozart, Jay Bruce
Seattle could be seeking upgrades.
By Scott Gelman Jul 29, 2016, 4:40pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Reds trade rumors: Mariners interested in Zack Cozart, Jay Bruce
Seattle has inquired about Reds shortstop Zack Cozart, according to ESPN's Jayson Stark.
Ketel Marte is expected to return from the disabled list sooner than the Mariners had initially expected, so Seattle might not be in a hurry to make a deal. However, Marte is batting .273 over 74 games, and Cozart would add power to Seattle's lineup.
Cozart, 30, is batting .266/.318/.463 with 15 home runs and 41 RBIs. Since Cozart is under club control for another season, the Mariners will likely set a high asking price.
Bruce is also under club control for another season, and over 95 games this season, he is batting .271/.323/.572 with 25 home runs and 79 RBIs.
The Mariners enter play Friday two games over five-hundred, but Seattle's approach to the deadline is unclear. The organization doesn't seem inclined to sell, although it's unlikely they add much before Monday.
If the Mariners add to their major league roster before the deadline, they will likely seek controllable pieces.


New Mexico and landscape photography just seem to go together. Everywhere you look there's something beautiful - from the majestic mountains to the expansive valleys. There are rock formations, volcanos and colorful cliffs. Opportunities abound. After all this was the home of Georgia O'Keefe, one of my favorite artists, who was known for her beautiful New Mexico landscapes.
I love doing landscape photography and take day trips whenever I can. The hardest part is choosing my favorite shots.

Maplewood Felon Pleads Guilty to Illegal Possession of a Firearm
MINNEAPOLIS – A Maplewood man has pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a firearm as a felon, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Charles J. Kovats.
According to court documents, on October 12, 2021, Metro Transit Police Officers were dispatched to a report of a vehicle stuck on the light rail tracks in St. Paul. At the scene they found Deandre Lenier Neal-Hill, 34, unconscious in the driver's seat of a maroon Chevrolet Malibu. The vehicle, with the engine still reviving, had a flat tire and was stuck in the tracks. Officers removed an unresponsive Neal-Hill from the vehicle and began preforming emergency medical aid until the paramedics arrived and took him to a hospital.
According to court documents, as officers extracted Neal-Hill from the vehicle, officers observed a black handgun on the floorboard on the driver's side of the vehicle, which was later determined to be an FNH USA model 503 9mm semiautomatic pistol. Neal-Hill's pistol was loaded with one round in the chamber and seven bullets in the inserted magazine. Neal-Hill was also in possession of marijuana, methamphetamine, and oxycodone pills.
Because Neal-Hill has prior felony convictions, including convictions of drive-by shooting, assault, and drug sale, he is prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition at any time.
This case was prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, the centerpiece of the Department of Justice's violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them. As part of this strategy, PSN focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partners with locally based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions in crime.
This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the ATF, the FBI, the St. Paul Police Department, and the Metro Transit Police Department.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matthew S. Ebert and Thomas Calhoun-Lopez are prosecuting the case.

Memphis City Council will soon vote on mandatory mask ordinance
Daniel Connolly
In an effort to slow the local spread of COVID-19, the Memphis City Council is scheduled to cast a final vote next week on a new city ordinance that would require people to wear face masks in grocery stories, convenience stores, restaurants, clinics and many other public settings.
The ordinance calls for the first violation of the ordinance to be punished with a warning. The second violation would be punished through community service. The ordinance doesn't specify the number of hours of service, nor does it include any provision to punish violations through fines.
The ordinance exempts some people from the requirement to wear masks in public, including children under the age of two and people with breathing trouble that makes it difficult for them to wear a mask.
The final vote on the new mask ordinance is currently scheduled for Tuesday, June 16, and might come even sooner if the City Council chooses to hold a special meeting to vote on this issue.
City Council members discussed the matter during a video conference on Tuesday afternoon, but apparent technical problems caused the video feed to drop several times and much of what they said was not available.
At one point in the video stream, Dr. Manoj Jain, the infectious disease specialist advising the city, sounded notes of alarm: "Just today, (Tuesday) we have 192 new cases, the highest ever seen, and the highest number of hospitalizations, 151."
He said research shows that many people in Memphis are not wearing face masks and evidence shows that face masks help stop transmission of the disease.
Council member Dr. Jeff Warren, a physician, is sponsoring the ordinance along with council member Michalyn Easter-Thomas and chairwoman Patrice Robinson.
"Your mask is the one that's protecting everyone around you," Warren said.
In response to people who don't want to wear masks in public, he made an analogy to drunk driving — he said you don't have the right to put something into your body, then take actions that can kill people.
"Unfortunately, you may have something dangerous in your body that you didn't want to put there now. Do you still want to go out and have the right to kill people?" Warren said.
He said local officials are closely watching the virus transmission rate.
The rate refers to the number of times each infected person passes the virus to someone else. A rate of 1 means each infected person gives it to one other person.
A transmission rate of less than 1 means the virus is going away. A transmission rate of more than one means that each person with the virus is infecting more than one other person.
Warren said Tuesday that if the transmission rate spikes to a dangerously high level, the City Council will hold a special meeting this week to vote on the mask ordinance.
In a follow-up interview on Wednesday, he said epidemiologists had calculated the latest estimate of the local transmission rate to be at 1.19 — just below the threshold rate of 1.2 needed to call the special meeting.
He said a transmission rate of 1.2 is extremely dangerous. "You think 1.2 doesn't sound so bad," he said. "But the growth on 1.2 is huge."
The threat is exponential growth of the respiratory virus, which can quickly overwhelm local hospitals, he said.
"Think of it like this — If you have a pond and you put a lily pad in it and every day the lily pad doubles, on day 30, the pond's full. What day is the pond half full?" Warren asked.
The answer: it's half full on day 29, just one day before the entire surface is covered.

Dorothy Devereux – scandal, intrigue and a woman who knew her own mind.
Lettice Knollys was the daughter of Catherine Carey – meaning that she was probably the granddaughter of Henry VIII as her grandmother was Mary Boleyn. She was born on the 8th November 1543. She married three times; first to Sir Walter Devereux who became the First Earl of Essex; second to Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester and thirdly to Sir Christopher Blount.
Penelope was born in 1563 and Dorothy in 1564. Lettice went on to have three sons: Robert, Walter and Francis. Today's post is about Dorothy and tomorrow I shall be posting about Penelope because of the portrait pictured at the start of the post which I love and is believed to be of Penelope and Dorothy. It can be found at Longleat House.
Dorothy was married first, in 1583, to Sir Thomas Perrot – which makes it all a bit family orientated as Sir Thomas's father John claimed to be one of Henry VIII's illegitimate children (click on the link to open a pervious post about Sir John Perrot in a new window.) Sir John was not one of Elizabeth I's most favourite people even though he did claim close kinship with her. He found himself in the Tower on charges of treason during her reign. It is perhaps because of Sir John that Dorothy failed to ask Elizabeth I for permission to marry, which as one of her ladies-in-waiting she should have done and preferred, instead to elope with Penelope's help. Alternatively it might perhaps of been that Dorothy's hand was being settled by Robert Dudley who in 1582 had tried to arrange her marriage to his nephew Sir Philip Sidney. Either way, Elizabeth was not amused and probably even less so when she learned of the circumstances of the wedding.
The marriage took place at Sir Henry Coke's house in Broxbourne. Coke was one of Dorothy's guardians. He did not connive at the wedding. For most of the service Sir Henry's servants were trying to break down the chapel door whilst the vicar was assaulted for arguing that the correct procedures had not been followed. He was eventually told that John Alymer the Bishop of London had granted a licence. This information would get him into trouble with Elizabeth. The historian Robert Lacey places the blame for this highly irregular marriage on the inadequacies of Lettice's and Walter's marriage rather than Dorothy accepting her allotted role of chattel being sold to the most powerful bidder.
Dorothy then married the 9th Earl of Northumberland – Henry Percy- the so-called Wizard Earl. This particular earl would find himself involved in the Gun Powder Plot in 1605. He and his wife were not happily married despite the fact that Elizabeth I had approved of Dorothy's second marriage. The pair separated in 1599. It is perhaps not totally surprising given that the earl had selected his wife based on her potential to have sons. Dorothy did have sons with the earl but they both died young. The couple had only one surviving child, a daughter called…Dorothy.
The separation was not permanent. Realistically the earl needed an heir and Dorothy could not really afford more scandal. Lucy Percy was born circa 1600 and the all important heir to the earldom of Northumberland followed in 1602. A second son arrived in 1604.
In 1605 when Northumberland was implicated in the Gunpowder Plot and sentenced to life in the Tower, Dorothy showed herself to be a loyal wife. She visited her spouse most days. For Dorothy the years of the earl's imprisonment meant that she was responsible for running the earldom whilst Percy was in charge in name only. Like her first cousin twice removed (I think I'm right given that Catherine Carey and Elizabeth I were officially cousins; Elizabeth and Lettice were first cousins once removed thus Dorothy must have been twice removed) Dorothy was a woman with a brain. Unlike Elizabeth, Dorothy was not always able to act independently and much of her marital difficulty appears to have stemmed from this.
Dorothy died in 1619, two year's before her husband's eventual release from the Tower. She is buried in the Percy family vault at Petworth.

FDA issues warning about antibiotic Z-pak
Posted: Mar 12, 2013 7:56 PM EST | Updated: Nov 5, 2014 9:03 PM EST
The FDA issued a warning about a commonly prescribed antibiotic called the Z-pak. The FDA says it can cause abnormal changes in the electrical activity of the heart.
That change could lead to an irregular heartbeat which could potentially be fatal.
The drug is also known as Azithromycin, Zithromax or Zmax.
It's commonly used to treat respiratory infections.
One Granger mom says she's not going to make her son stop using it, but was irked by the timing of it all
"Well it kind of caught me off guard just because knowing that I got it filled last night and the doctor I feel like they might have known a little something about this happening today," said Debbie Mann.
The FDA has advised doctors to consider different treatment options for people who already have irregular heartbeats or low blood pressure.
The FDA also noted that all drugs have side effects and this is just a warning.
They are not pulling it from pharmacy shelves.

Propmaster Ritchie Kremer received a tip from a friend who had worked with him on 2nd unit of X-Men : First Class that I might be the right "untrained illustrator" to create some sketchbooks made by the character of the dad (played by Joel Edgerton) in a Disney film that had recently started pre-production in Atlanta.
Ritchie asked for a sample of natural drawings for Production Designer Wynn Thomas to review and once I'd been given the green light I filled a second plain moleskine book with furniture sketches and then later with drawings of an exciting new idea that Timothy and his family pursue. The dad's furniture drawings were all done quickly in my natural gestural style and were intended to look like "idea" drawings, not measured construction drawings.
