V8 Names Mr. V8 322/8 Bull of the Year
+Mr. V8 380/6 News | Rose Cow Family | Semen Sales | V8 Ranch News
For the sixth year running, V8 Ranch has selected an official Bull of the Year from its herd. The title of 2021 Bull of the Year goes to Mr. V8 322/8. No stranger to titles, he is also the 2020 USA National Champion Bull. Representing the next generation of the +Mr. V8 380/6 Brahman Sire Line, the Williams family expects 322/8, who has already produced outstanding calves, to have a significant impact on the breed. In this video clip, Jim Williams details his many exceptional characteristics including masculinity, eye appeal; a very long, straight top line; a desirable long, level hip; good thickness and muscle, and excellent American Brahman breed character.
322/8 is sired by +Mr. V8 380/6, who is known for his power and consistency, with dam +Miss V8 33/8 of the Rose cow family, a matrilineal cow line that has been a mainstay of V8 Ranch for decades. The picture of femininity, +Miss V8 33/8, is a beautiful red-tinged, long-bodied daughter of +Mr. V8 191/7. But don't let her beauty fool you; she also possesses impressive muscle mass and depth of body. Phenotypically, she is one of V8's most impressive cows, embodying the ideal the Williams family strives for.
As a result, the 2021 Bull of the Year, Mr. V8 322/8, is balanced and stylish, with the length of body you'd expect from his dam, but the power and masculinity of his sire. Heavy-boned with excellent pigment and breed character, he has captured the limelight since his first time in the showring. 322/8 was also a two-time division winner at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo (aka the International Brahman Show), and is expected to have continued success in the Brahman breed.

Mr. V8 322/8 was selected as 2020 National Champion Bull by judge Doug Pierce.
V8 Ranch Bulls of the Year
V8 Ranch named their first Bull of the Year in 2016, prior to the Houston show. Each year's selection is made by a family consensus as to which bull is the most promising and likely to join rank with the family's long line of legendary sires. During the International Stall Party, which takes place during the Houston Livestock Show Brahman Week, the family offers a limited amount semen of units from the Bull of the Year for sale. Last year's ten units sold out almost immediately.
The 2021 Bull of the Year Semen Offering
The 322/8 semen offering will take place during the V8 Ranch International Stall Party, taking place Thursday, March 25, 2021 at Waco, Texas from 2:00 to 4:00 PM CST. Only 20 units of semen on 322/8 will be sold, first come, first serve. The investment will be $10,000 per unit and this will include 5 certificates. Additional certificates will be available for $250. Buyers can purchase in person, online at shopv8ranch.com, or by phone at 979-533-2056.

Dutch Caribbean Airlines was an airline based in Curaçao, part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It was established in 1964 and ceased operation in 2004.
Dutch Caribbean Airlines was actually established in 1964 as Air ABC (Air Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao) and the airline was later renamed to Antilliaanse Luchtvaart Maatchappij (ALM) to take over the services of the Caribbean division of KLM.
The airline was succeeded by Air ALM, which was owned by the same DC Holding that owned ALM Antillean Airlines and later Dutch Caribbean Airlines.
During the transfer of the airline's assets from Air ALM, the airline acquired some of the Air ALM aircraft and later on received other aircraft for its own.
Operated as Dutch Caribbean Express.

30 Players 30 Days
30 Players: Panik Hopes To Follow Up Strong Rookie Year For GiantsA 2011 first-round Draft pick out of St. John's University, Joe Panik had a meteoric rise to Major League glory last season -- not only putting up impressive numbers as the Giants' new second baseman in 73 regular season games, but also helping San Francisco earn its third World Series championship in the past five years.
30 Players: Prospect Butler Looking To Prove He Belongs With RockiesHeading into the 2014 season, Eddie Butler was hailed as the top arm in the Rockies' system and one of the best pitching prospects in baseball. Heading into this year, things were quite different.
30 Players: Despaigne Hopes To Build On Rookie Year For PadresSo when you look at the roster right now, there aren't many young, inexperienced players who have a chance to make a big impact on the Padres in 2015. One name that does come to mind, however, is pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne.
30 Players: Tomas' Time Will Come Sooner Than Later For D-backsThe influx of Cuban players in MLB has been much discussed, and after the wild success Jose Abreu had with the White Sox in 2014, teams will continue to scout and give big money to defectors. Yasmany Tomas is a perfect example, as the D-backs gave him a six-year, $68.5 million contract as a 24-year-old this offseason.
30 Players: Healthy Quad Means Returned Speed, Power For Astros' SpringerJoining the 40-40 club (40 homers and 40 steals in a single season) has always been a rare feat, evidenced by the fact that it's been accomplished just four times in baseball history. But if you were to make a list of baseball's top candidates to even have a shot at reaching the milestone, Astros outfielder George Springer would be at or near the top.
30 Players: Dodgers' Rookie Pederson Ready To Burst Onto LA SceneAn 11th-round Draft choice by the Dodgers out of high school, Los Angeles knew it was taking a risk by drafting Joc Pederson, as he had pretty high bonus demands and had already committed to play baseball at USC. But the Dodgers were OK with the risk that late, and OK with giving him a hefty bonus, and now five years later it looks as though it's all going to pay off.
30 Players: Zunino Looks To Build Off Tremendous Spring For MarinersMike Zunino's first full season with the Mariners was an intriguing one, as the young catcher showed off some of the skills that prompted Seattle to take him third overall in the 2012 draft. But he also showed a lot of his inexperience and a continued lack of plate discipline over the course of 131 games.
30 Players: Despite Rough Spring, Heaney Not Far From Cracking Angels RotationIt's been a crazy couple of years for Andrew Heaney, who has risen through the Minor League ranks, been traded twice in a matter of hours this offseason and has struggled to find effectiveness at the big league level. But at 23 years old, the Angels' new top prospect still has plenty of time to break into the rotation this season.
30 Players: Odor's Rapid Rise To Rangers No FlukeNow, at 21 years old with almost a full season under his belt, Odor is ready to prove that it is he who is actually the Rangers' second baseman of the future.
30 Players: Semien Looks To Break Out With A'sWhen you take a look at Marcus Semien's stats, nothing really jumps out at you, until you get to his on-base percentage. If you were wondering why he was the main target of Athletics GM Billy Beane in the Jeff Samardzija trade, look no further.
30 Players: Fiers Finally Ready To Stick With BrewersMike Fiers has always been a late bloomer. He was a 22nd round pick in 2009, and was already 24 years old as his college career took some time due to injuries. He never ranked as a top prospect, and has logged 116 games and 483.1 innings in the Minor Leagues, despite making his MLB debut in 2011.
30 Players: Baseball's Top Prospect Bryant Won't Wait Long For Cubs DebutIt doesn't take much to explain to someone just how good Kris Bryant is. One look at his 2014 Minor League numbers will drop jaws. And then there's this unbelievable spring training where he hit a Major League-leading nine home runs in 14 spring games.
30 Players: Polanco Looks To Improve On Hot Start For PiratesWith Andrew McCutchen in center field and Starling Marte in left, the Pirates are one piece away from having one of the best young outfields in baseball. And they have that piece in Gregory Polanco, it's just a matter of getting him to fit right and stick in right field in the bigs.
30 Players: Iglesias Could Arrive Sooner Than Expected As Reds StarterThis spring, Reds manager Bryan Price became one of the first skippers to officially lay out his entire rotation, even though there were expected to be plenty of questions after Johnny Cueto and Mike Leake. And to the surprise of many, Cuban signee Raisel Iglesias, despite only pitching in the Arizona Fall League
30 Players: Martinez Ready To Make Mark In Cardinals RotationTeams don't often trade a young pitcher like Shelby Miller, but when you're a team like the Cardinals with a surplus of young pitching ready to break out seemingly every year, it may be a bit more common. St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak basically said after trading Miller that one reason he did so was to make room in the rotation for Martinez, a top prospect who pitched out of the bullpen in 2014.

Though best known for her work with Montreal's Arcade Fire, British Columbia-born violinist Sarah Neufeld has produced her most interesting and experimental work outside of the troupe. On The Ridge, Neufeld revisits many of the sonic concepts and elements she explored with saxophonist Colin Stetson on 2015's excellent Never Were the Way She Was, ultimately marrying both her minimalism and pop backgrounds. The results, though less exploratory or experimental, are nonetheless filled with mood and meditation, with Neufeld capable of extracting a staggering amount of emotion from sole notes. The opening title track trembles with tension before unfolding into lush vocal arrangements and post-rock-level bombast. The atmosphere is often undone by the album's percussive elements, its drums bursting violently through the mix. Though unfortunate, it's not enough to ruin The Ridge's more striking moments.

Next Week in Virtual Tickets: Films sort of playing Boston 18 September 2020 - 24 September 2020
Not seeing any listings for Apple Cinemas at Fresh Pond, so I'm guessing that they got as much as they could from Tenet and didn't think they'd be viable again until November when No Time to Die is scheduled to come out. I feel bad, because I wanted to go see a movie or two there, but I was so busy with Fantasia and NYAFF and then no evening this week seemed to work out. But maybe that was smart? 2020 is a mess.
The Coolidge Corner Theatre opens Chuck Berry in their virtual screening room, probably to a bigger audience than when it was four-walled at the Regent earlier this year (after apparently being released internationally in 2018). Filmmaker Jon Brewer got a bunch of interviews to tell the story of "The Granddaddy of Rock & Roll". They also have two new ones tied to their ongoing series, with Killer of Sheep as the Big Small Screen Classic (that also has a Coolidge Education seminar with Robert Daniels on Thursday evening) and the After Midnight crew offering Parasite through Sunday. Note that it is the 1980s monster movie with Demi Moore as opposed to Bong Joon-Ho's Oscar-winner, and they do not appear to be offering it in 3D. They also continue to offer rentals of Sibyl, Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin, Beau Travail, From Controversy to Cure, and I Used to Go Here.
In upcoming-but-selling-out programs, there's a four-week course on "Dictators on Film" whose Tuesday sessions are sold out but there may still be room for the Saturday session; they will also be showing Vertigo as a drive-in show at the Medfield State Hospital next weekend.
The Brattle Theatre also has a reissue as their new release this week, with Jan Svankmajer's Faust joining their lineup. To a certain extent, you don't need to say much more than that it is Faust (legendary fable about a man who sells his soul to the devil) as told by Svankmajer (legendary Czech animator and surrealist). They also continue Vinyl Nation, The Hole, Ghost Tropic, Moroni for President, MR. SOUL!, and Son of the White Mare.
Infidel appears to be the week's only major new release, with Jim Caviezel starring as a man kidnapped in Cairo and Claudia Karvan as the wife looking to secure his return. It's at Boston Common, Fenway, the Seaport, South Bay, Arsenal Yards, Chestnut Hill, and Revere. The Secrets We Keep also opens at Arsenal Yards, after having started playing Kendall Square and the Embassy on Wednesday.
Arsenal Yards has locally-produced Spin the Plate for single shows on Friday and Sunday, along with matinees of The Iron GIant through the week.
Fenway also re-opens Minions this week, because why not. Revere fills its weekday evenings with the No Game, No Life anime (Monday), P.S. I Love You Tuesday), and A Flea in Her Ear (Thursday afternoon), the last two so random that I wonder if there are newer things with the same names. They've also got Sonic the Hedgehog and Jumanji: The Next Level, but I'm not sure if those are "again" or "still". South Bay has The Breakfast Club on Sunday afternoon.
Landmark Theatres Kendall Square and Embassy both have two new releases this weekend (aside from The Secrets We Keep). The Way I See It is a documentary from John Lewis: Good Trouble director Dawn Porter that features Pete Souza, White House photographer for both Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama, who has become a sharp critic of the latter's successor. The Nest features Jude Law and Carrie Coon as a family relocating from suburban America to the English countryside in the 1980s, exposing the stress points in their marriage. It's from Martha Marcy May Marlene director Sean Durkin.
Both The Way I See It and The Secrets We Keep are also at The Lexington Venue, which is open at least through Sunday.
The West Newton Cinema brings Jazz On a Summer's Day to their screen after its virtual run at the Brattle and Coolidge, which is in reverse, but, hey, 2020 is weird. Their website only shows times through Sunday, including Citizen Kane, Tenet, 2001: A Space Odyssey (not showing Saturday), The Burnt Orange Heresy, and Casablanca (not showing Saturday) and Sunday. Don't know if that messes with their curbside popcorn pick-up on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
The Regent Theatre continues to stream The Beatles in India, adding Chet's Last Call (the story of an (in)famous Boston dive bar operator which played the theater earlier this year) on Saturday. The "Red Hot Chilli Pipers" concert is available through Monday, with Moody Blues tribute band "Go Now!" taking the slot on Tuesday. There's a livestream of protest documentary We Are Many on Monday night. It also looks like they will be opening the doors for the first of four screenings of this year's Manhattan Short Film Festival block on Thursday evening, but maybe that page has just been on the site for a while.
ArtsEmerson continues to host documentary Our Time Machine through Tuesday, including a conversation with artist Maleonn and filmmakers Yang Sun & S. Leo Chiang on the 19th.
The Bright Lights at Home show on Thursday is Through The Night, focusing on two mothers and a child care provider who meet at a 24-hour day care center (which is apparently a thing now). It livestreams at 7pm with a conversation with director Loira Limbal afterward. It's a part of the Boston Latino International Film Festival, which is virtual this year and kicks off on Wednesday.
The Boston Film Festival will be mostly-virtual this year, but is planning three live screenings: The Girl Who Wore Freedom and Paper Spiders on Thursday evening and Small Town Wisconsin on Friday. A number of other films we be available virtually on Thursday, some including Q&As, though I don't know how that's going to work.
Asian imports still playing include Wild Grass at Boston Common, The Eight Hundred at Boston Common and the Seaport, and Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula at Boston Common and Revere.
Don't know if anyone is at The Somerville Theatre to update their virtual screening room slate, whch still shows The Fight, Amulet, John Lewis: Good Trouble, the Quarantine Cat Film Fest, Pahokee, and Alice; The Capitol is open for ice cream and snacks, but I don't know if anyone is paying attention to their virtual theater, which still lists the "One Small Step" shorts, the Cat Film Fest, The Surrogate, and Heimat Is a Space in Time.
The Brattle, the Coolidge, and West Newton are all offering relatively reasonable rentals for groups of up to 20; search their websites or call them directly get quotes on rates, available slots, and what the rules on concessions and masking are.
Bummed about Fresh Pond apparently closing up before I got a chance to head over, and I hope the two weeks they were open didn't actually hurt them. Write to your representatives via Save Your Cinema so that hopefully all the other places have a chance to survive. Also, Nightstream is about to announce their line-up, the upcoming online festival put on by BUFF and other genre festivals around the country.

At the request of double-anti and his metaphorical sword at my throat :p I have made my question into a poll. opinions, replies etc welcome.
Banner Ads have got to be among the most annoying aspect of the WWW. The bain of my website though thankfully I can hide them.
But just occaisionally something useful crops up. Exceeding rare though.
Banner ads support the man!
My theory is that by not supporting banner ads, companies will realize that they don't work and only irritate customers, and will stop making them (or at least find ways to make them less irritating). Some ad producers even get paid for each time an ad is viewed or clicked on, so by clicking on a banner ad, you are still supporting the company even if you don't buy anything from them. Banner ads are just like unwelcome junkmail, except you can't send it back, and it blinks and flashes at you while you're trying to get more important things done.
However, people with disabilities may already have some trouble accessing information on the internet. Due to poorly-designed websites that aren't compatible with text-only browsers (Yay, no banner ads!) or speech synthesizers etc. Do you remember a few years back, and still occasionally now, when people would complain that some video games cause seizures in people who have epilepsy?
Wouldn't the bright flashing banner ads have the same effect, making most of the Internet unavailable to people with epilepsy? They could use a text-only browser, but why shouldn't they get to look at the still pictures with everyone else?
I ran a quick search through a few search engines, but couldn't find any research on this. Maybe it's a topic that needs more research... too bad I'm not a biologist with some grant money to throw away.
Banner ads slow you down!
Banner ads make a website take longer to load, and for the average home user, that can be pretty slow depending on modem speeds. In addition to paying for the ad each time it is clicked on or sometimes when viewed, you are also paying to see the unwelcome ad, assuming you are paying an ISP for internet time to view it. (there are a few free ISP's, but most of them are sponsored by advertising and give you even more banner ads to contend with) Even if you have unlimited internet access, it's the principle that counts in this case.
Banner ads are not user-friendly!
Banner ads are big brother!
Some banner ads implement tracking scripts that can tell a company where you saw their banner ad, what city you are in, possibly even the IP address of your computer. If you click on the site itself, they may even track where you go in the site. Although they can't get your name or specific address, information gathering of any kind, without explanation or notice always creeps me out a little. Isn't life orwellian?
Demand a banner free internet!
i didn't need an essay but thanks.
i disagree with the points below this since my content should not be reduced because of someone with epilepsy.
>Banner ads are big brother!
how true, but they can get your adress from your ip, and from that your name and all sorts of other crap.
>Demand a banner free internet!
pendragon, thanks for your response, i bet i can guess which option you voted for!
I ask because i want to make a little money from my site, it is aonly a tenth complete but already averages around 16 vistiors a day (and 100 hits). I get payed per click, lead and sale.
But i have very carefull selected the banners for my site, tey are the same colours and use very few colours. Where possible i have selected banners that do not flash at all and they are far from intrusive.
keep thise replies coming in guys!
then your choices are good what i hate are the javascrpit adds such as shoot the monkey or the messagebox ones blech.
No kidding. They serve the purpose of irritating users that actually wish to do something useful, and slowing everything down to a crawl.
Can you guess? I actually voted for one unobtrusive ad.
hah you really didn't read it did you.
The flashing and JScript one's I have removed from my site. They are exceedingly annoying. The non-flashy one's aren't too bad so long as there is only one.
popups are so terrible. sometimes I wind up closing the wrong window, thinking it's the popup which causes me to lose anything I was researching!!! Ugh. shcok the monkey is terrible. It moves everytime you have to go over it, and if you accidentally click there you wind up having the site change.
Wow - your site's coming along VERY well, iain.
theres still lots coming up, i look over the net for things that id use and when i couldnt find them i thought id do them .
id be interested who voted option 6?

Leeds weren't exactly on fire last season but we all know that they tend to raise their game for us. This time round, though, surely Chelsea can get the result? We come in off the back of 5 successive Premiership wins, including a convincing defeat of the defending champions. Leeds victory over Charlton was their first ray of sunshine in an otherwise overcast season. You might be interested to know that the last time they won at Elland Road was at the beginning of October.
Of course, we're well aware Leeds can be dangerous. It'll be a long time before I forget the sight of a World Cup-winner floundering in the wake of a precocious 16-year-old. But that's football. Milner, one of Leeds' few reasons to be cheerful, will almost certainly play with Smith and professional pie-eater Viduka leading the attack. Jermaine Pennant could be another one to keep an eye on.
Chelsea's line-up? Your guess is as good as mine. Jimmy's goal in mid-week didn't disguise his largely wan performance, so expect Adrian Mutu to return to the starting eleven. The Duffer should start this one on the pitch as well. Terry and Gallas may well return to form the central defence after Desailly's mid-week appearance, and Mario Melchiot seems to be kicking up a bit more of a struggle than some of us expected to try and earn his new contract.

Jackets Impress Under the Friday Night Lights
Posted by Greg Hollis October 10, 2020 mode_comment0
Georgia Tech hosts its first Friday night home game in 62 years, and they didn't disappoint. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets roll over the Louisville Cardinals 46-27.
The Yellow Jackets played mistake-free football on the offensive side of the ball. The Yellow Jackets' offense racked up over 450 yards of total yards, no turnovers, and converted fifty percent of their third downs. Freshman sensations Jahmyr Gibbs and Jeff Sims lead the charge on offense. Gibbs had thirteen carries for 61 yards, two receptions for sixty yards, a rushing touchdown, and a receiving touchdown. Sims went 11 of 21 or 249 yards passing, seven carries for 64 yards rushing, two passing touchdowns, and another on the ground.
October 9, 2020 Atlanta – Georgia Tech's wide receiver Malachi Carter (15) falls into the endzone for a touchdown during the second half of an NCAA college football game at Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta on Friday, October 9, 2020. Georgia Tech's won 46-27 over the Louisville. (Hyosub Shin / Hyosub.Shin@ajc.com)
Junior wide receiver Malachi Carter also played a significant role in the offense as well. Carter finished with three receptions, a career-high 89 receiving yards, and a touchdown.
After converting a fake punt of fourth down during their first drive, the Yellow Jackets offense got off to a hot start but stalled. They picked it up, going into halftime, and started the second half with twelve unanswered points. Unlike the previous two games, the Yellow Jackets played a complete game and closed the Cardinals out in the fourth quarter. The Yellow Jackets offense finished the game by scoring twenty points in the fourth quarter and put 46 total points, which was a season-high for the team.
The defense of the Yellow Jackets showed up big for the team as well. The defense forced four fumbles and recovered three of them. Despite giving up 471 total yards of offense, they only gave six second-half points. In addition to the defense three takeaways, they also finished the game with three sacks and eight tackles for loss.
The Yellow Jackets' head coach Geoff Collins was extremely proud of his team's effort. Here are his thoughts after the game:
"We harped on that the last two weeks and, just really proud of the guys taking those lessons to heart, offensively protecting the ball and then you really saw tonight the defense really going after the ball to create turnovers and cause fumbles. So, I am just really proud of them. It was a complete team win, offense, defense, special teams."
The Yellow Jackets will have to play an even better game against Clemson, the number 1 ranked team in the country, coming to see them on Oct.17.

The newlyweds spent the honeymoon in Portofino. In 2016, Chrissy and John welcomed their daughter Luna. And in 2018, their son Miles drew his first breath.
By the way, Legend shared that it wasn't love at first sight. While he was on tour for about a year, he and Chrissy texted a lot and he fell in love with her wittiness and sense of humor.
A curious fact: Legend was a wedding singer in his teenage years. He later performed at his own wedding as well as at the nuptials of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

Known today more for his struggles for civil rights in Mississippi and his untimely death at the hands of an assassin than for his writings, Medgar Evers nevertheless left behind an impressive record of achievement.
Medgar Wiley Evers was born July 2, 1925, near Decatur, Mississippi, and attended school there until he was inducted into the army in 1943. After serving in Normandy, he attended Alcorn College (now Alcorn State University), majoring in business administration. While at Alcorn, he was a member of the debate team, the college choir, and the football and track teams, and he also held several student offices and was editor of the campus newspaper for two years and the annual for one year. In recognition of his accomplishments at Alcorn, he was listed in Who's Who in American Colleges.
At Alcorn he met Myrlie Beasley, of Vicksburg, and the next year, they were married on December 24, 1951. He received his B.A. degree the next semester and they moved to Mound Bayou, Mississippi, during which time Evers began to establish local chapters of the NAACP throughout the Delta and organizing boycotts of gasoline stations that refused to allow blacks to use their restrooms. He worked in Mound Bayou as an insurance agent until 1954, the year a Supreme Court decision ruled school segregation unconstitutional. Despite the court's ruling, Evers applied for and was denied admission to the University of Mississippi Law School, but his attempt to integrate the state's oldest public university attracted the attention of the NAACP's national office, and that same year he was appointed Mississippi's first field secretary for the NAACP.
Evers met his future wife, Myrlie, at Alcorn College (now Alcorn State University).
In 1954, Evers became the first field secretary for the NAACP in Mississippi.
The name of Medgar Evers has been immortalized in many ways but perhaps none more so grandly than in Brooklyn's Medgar Evers College, a unit of the City University of New York.
Myrlie Evers' book about her husband was made into a TV movie starring Howard Rollins.
A statue of Medgar Evers was erected to honor him in his adopted hometown of Jackson on June 28, 1992.
On June 12, 1963, as he was returning home, Medgar Evers was killed by an assassin's bullet. Black and white leaders from around the nation came to Jackson for his funeral and then gathered at Arlington National Cemetery for his interment. Following his death, his brother, Charles, took over Medgar's position as state field secretary for the NAACP. The accused killer, a white supremacist named Byron De La Beckwith, stood trial twice in the 1960s, but in both cases the all-white juries could not reach a verdict. Finally, in a third trial in 1994 (and thirty-one years after Evers' murder), Beckwith was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

Events for Thursday, July 4, 2013 through Wednesday, July 10, 2013
Posted on 2013-Jul-04 by Jason Olshefsky
Today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. is a Restore the Fourth Amendment Rally starting at Washington Square Park and continuing to the Federal Building.
Concerned citizens and real patriots will meet at Washington Square Park and march to the Rochester Federal Building on July 4th, 2013 to demonstrate their contempt for the federal government's surveillance programs. The recent leak of the NSA's request for millions of Americans cell phone data, the discovery of the PRISM program, and countless other abuses proves that the government is violating our rights on a daily basis in the name of fighting terrorism. We know that true patriotism is resisting tyranny even when its inconvenient not caving to tyranny for the illusion of safety.

Tonight at 7 p.m., the Dryden will screen Willie Nelson's 4th of July Celebration (Yabo Yablonsky, Us 1979, 100 min., 35mm).
While Woodstock is the quintessential counter-cultural concert film of the peace and love generation, Yablonsky's document of Willie Nelson's second annual "picnic" offers a far-out view of a different sort of hippie culture. Mesmerizing and tranquil, this seldom-screened film of the three-day concert that drew 25,000 people captures the sun-soaked, beer-drenched, smoky affair with candor and admiration for the audience and the performers. Deemed a "national treasure" by the Library of Congress, the film features footage of greats such as Leon Russell, Waylon Jennings, and Doug Kershaw, among others.

This week's 7 p.m. movie at the Cinema is The Internship (Shawn Levy, U.S. 2013, 119 min.)
Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) are salesmen whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital world. Trying to prove they are not obsolete, they defy the odds by talking their way into a coveted internship at Google, along with a battalion of brilliant college students. But, gaining entrance to this utopia is only half the battle. Now they must compete with a group of the nation's most elite, tech-savvy geniuses to prove that necessity really is the mother of re-invention.

The Dryden will screen The Giant Claw (Fred F. Sears, Us 1957, 75 min., 35mm) tonight at 8 p.m.
There are many things that beggar belief in drive-in cinema, and The Giant Claw represents nearly all of them: a ridiculous, semi-mobile puppet monster; actors who can barely maintain a straight face while delivering goofball dialogue; and special effects that are not so much employed as avoided altogether. A film so absurd it feels like a postmodern parody of itself, The Giant Claw is the tale of a—wait for it—giant turkey from outer space that comes to Earth to terrorize humankind. Perhaps the most unbelievable part? A 35mm print exists, and we'll be screening it!
The Cinema's 9 p.m. film this week is Fast and Furious 6 (Justin Lin, U.S. 2013, 130 min.) In case you don't want to just see cartoonish car chases, here's the elaborate plot summary to fill you in on the prior films in the series:
Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of all-stars as the global blockbuster franchise built on speed races to its next continent in Fast and Furious 6. Reuniting for their most high-stakes adventure yet, fan favorites Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and Elsa Pataky are joined by badass series newcomers Luke Evans and Gina Carano. Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian's (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin's empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete. Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again. Building on the worldwide blockbuster success of Fast Five and taking the action, stunts and narrative to even greater heights, Fast and Furious 6 sees director Justin Lin back behind the camera for the fourth time. He is supported by longtime producers Neal H. Moritz and Vin Diesel, who welcome producer Clayton Townsend back to the series.
Tonight starting around 9:30 p.m. at Pandaman is Fashion in the Dark.
Immerse yourself in the stages of a fashion collection with an ideal setting of projected video and dark music spun by some of Rochester's best DJs. Local fashion designer Katrina Elliott will be showing muslin "rough draft" samples of a science fiction inspired runway collection.
Later tonight at Writers and Books — starting after dark around 9:30 p.m. — is the First Festival of Sound and Light.
Beginning in the fall of 1915, with an event that took place in Highland Park, Rochester Architect Claude Bragdon dramatically transformed his architectural work by designing theatrical events and settings, which he called Festivals of Light and Song. These projects were staged throughout New York State, including Rochester, Buffalo, and New York City. These night-time events were transformative experiences for the participants, caught up by music and lights that embraced them as they moved through previously familiar parks, transfixing the participants as if they occupied a wholly new world. A festival in New York City's Central Park attracted crowds of over 60,000. Drawing upon this past, Writers and Books will be staging a rebirth of the Festival of Light and Song. This initial event, will take place on Friday, July 5, at 9:30 p.m. at Writers and Books. with images projected on the façade of our, quite fittingly, Claude Bragdon-designed building at 740 University Avenue. This first show will be a tribute to Claude Bragdon, involving his images, words, and a selection of music he used in his own Festival events a century ago.

Tonight at 8 p.m. and tomorrow at 2 p.m., the Dryden will screen Safety Last (Fred C. Newmeyer, Sam Taylor, U.S. 1923, 70 min., 35mm).
Although Harold Lloyd enjoyed great popularity in the 1920s, his legacy as a master of silent comedy is often eclipsed by his more recognizable contemporaries. An immensely involved actor and producer, Lloyd presented some of the most artfully executed sequences in all of silent cinema. In his most celebrated effort, Lloyd stars as "The Boy" who sets off to find success in the big city but instead finds only trouble. His madcap adventures culminate in a now-iconic climb up a clock tower, a testament to Lloyd's physical and cinematic talents. Join us for the screening of this new restoration from Janus Films, with a new score by famed composer Carl Davis.
Tonight at the Bug Jar starting around 9 p.m. is fantastic, subdued "gypsy folk" from The Pickpockets, Kneptune, Barry Brothers Band, and The End of America. [source: Bug Jar calendar, 2013-Jul-1]

Tuesday, July 9
Today from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Juniper Hill Farm, (82 Loukes Lane, Wadhams, NY) the Northeast Organic Farming Association-New York (NOFA-NY) is hosting a Field Day on Scaling Up the Beginning Farm with Innovation and Appropriate Technology.
Please join NOFA-NY for a workshop entitled Scaling Up the Beginning Farm with Innovation and Appropriate Technology with a potluck to follow. On-farm equipment hacks and energy efficiency are effective strategies to increase output and scale up the farm, but how does the smart farmer prioritize projects and maintain a low cost for making such improvements? At Juniper Hill Farm, the answer has been a mixture of DIY ingenuity to hone just the right infrastructure and tools, along with taking advantage of incentives and grants to implement the costlier infrastructure needed to run the farm well.

He sold all his possessions and moved from the suburbs of New York to the foothills of the Himalayas in search of happiness and a little-known saint named Neem Karoli Baba (or Maharajji).

At 8 p.m., the Dryden will screen Jazz on a Summer's Day (Aram Avakian, Bert Stern, U.S. 1959, 85 min., 35mm). (Note that this is Member's Movie Night, so Eastman House members are admitted free.)
Jazz comes out of dark clubs and into the sun in this compelling documentary on the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival. Billed as "embarrassingly intimate," the film captures the thriving spirit of this truly American art form. Featuring extended performances by jazz giants Thelonious Monk, Sonny Stitt, Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, and more, Aram Avakian and Bert Stern's document belongs next to Woodstock, Monterey Pop, and The Last Waltz as one of the great concert films.

Tonight at 8 p.m., the Dryden will screen Young Mr. Lincoln (John Ford, Us 1939, 100 min., 35mm).
In one of his best performances, Henry Fonda plays the titular lawyer who would become president. The story follows Lincoln from his Kentucky home and young love, Ann Rutledge, to his legal practice in Illinois, where he defends two brothers on trial for murder. Part courtroom drama, part historical romance, the film explores how one of our greatest leaders was molded. Released in the "Greatest Year in Movie History," the film was also a high point for Ford, who released Stagecoach and Drums Along the Mohawk the same year.

Suki, a leading firm in the area of voice artificial intelligence (AI) technology for health care, said that it has closed a Series C funding round of $55 million, led by March Capital, with support from Philips Ventures, and all previous investors including Venrock, Flare Capital, Breyer Capital, and inHealth Ventures. The round is also comprised of super-angels who are leading figures in technology, healthcare, and finance, including Gaingels Group, Pankaj Patel (ex-Chief Development Officer of Cisco), Andrew Deutsch (CEO of RIMA Radiology), and Russell Farscht (former Managing Director of The Carlyle Group).
Suki will use this funding to make strategic investments that will lead to an expansion of its user base. This would be done through new and existing partnerships with leading health systems and medical groups while bolstering employee growth and development. Suki will also advance the AI capabilities of Suki Assistant, its voice-enabled digital assistant, and Suki Speech Platform, its proprietary voice platform. It would also add new features that streamline documentation, coding and other administrative tasks for physicians.
"We are at a turning point in healthcare, where it's now imperative to offer technology that improves physician burnout caused by documentation and administrative burden," said Punit Soni, founder and CEO of Suki. "With the strong support of our investors, Suki is poised to address this issue at an even larger scale and advance high-value, coordinated care through cutting-edge technology that integrates seamlessly into a physician's daily practice."
An alumnus of National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra, the University of Wyoming and The Wharton School, Soni was chief product officer of e-commerce giant Flipkart for over a year till April 2016 and prior to that had also worked at Google.
Powered by artificial intelligence, Suki uses natural language processing and machine learning to create clinically accurate medical notes and streamline administrative tasks. This includes retrieving patient information from the electronic health record (EHR) or ICD-10 coding. As a true digital clinical assistant, Suki said it supports doctors practicing in any clinical setting, as well as any speciality, including cardiology, orthopaedics, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, paediatrics, and family medicine. Providers can use a wide variety of voice commands to complete tasks, further personalizing the voice-enabled experience and streamlining workflows.
"March was instantly drawn to Suki's mission to help healthcare organizations lift the administrative burden from doctors so they can focus on taking care of their patients," said Wes Nichols, partner at March Capital. "My first exposure to Suki was observing my doctor using his phone to update his EHR (electronic health record) and pharmacy, which compelled me to ask him about what he was using. He was thrilled with Suki as a user, and I knew I had to meet the founder. Doctor burnout is a public health crisis which makes Suki's cutting-edge AI-powered voice assistant a game-changing solution for doctors and health systems everywhere."
In the last year, Suki has experienced tremendous growth, quadrupling its revenue. It continued to rapidly innovate, introducing new capabilities including the ability to dynamically pull in EHR data and a Suki Windows app that extends the reach and power of Suki Assistant to any Windows computer. It continued to expand its capabilities outside of clinical documentation, refining its ICD-10 (international classification of diseases) coding features to be more accurate and streamlined. The solution reduces documentation time by 76 per cent on average. It is used by physicians across dozens of specialities in more than 90 health systems and clinics nationwide.

Artificial Intelligence In Health


Plein air painting is all about being there. Not just painting outdoors, but absorbing the sights, sounds and feel of a place. And when the place is an historic, world-famous landmark, being there gives you an understanding and in-depth knowledge that could never be obtained from looking at photos or reading reference books.
In October 2008, for the third year in a row, I taught a workshop in southern Spain, from a base in the Andalucian mountains. As in previous years, we painted in our home village of Júzcar but also took day trips to other villages in the Genal valley and in the Málaga and Cadiz provinces. But this year we added something new—a day trip to Granada to paint at the Alhambra Palace.
It took nearly a year to arrange permission for our group to paint on the premises. Our host in Júzcar, David Nuyen (www.hotelbandolero.com) struggled through the process of filling out forms and providing information. At the last minute, just before our group departed from the U.S., we were required to provide passport numbers and further information. But it paid off—when we arrived at the Alhambra, our "artist's passes" were ready for us, allowing us access to the entire grounds at all times, rather than being restricted to certain hours of entry.
The royal city of the Alhambra, collectively, is of varying ages, with parts dating back as far as the Middle Ages. It is more than just palaces; it once included residences, stables, gardens, and a military fort. Much has been lost to the ravages of time, but the remaining palaces and gardens can take days to explore.
We couldn't see it all. The painters chose their spots, executed quick sketches, and then spent the time remaining taking many photographs and making notes for future paintings. A group of us chose to paint the reflecting pool in the Comares palace complex. The pool is in the Patio de los Arrayanes (The Courtyard of the Myrtles), and was used for receptions for important visitors. To say it was a stunning view would be an understatement, and the challenge of painting any portion of it was intimidating.
Nevertheless, even a sketch done on location improves one's understanding of the place, and provides valuable reference for future work. We did our best under difficult circumstances, and the memories of the day—if not the paintings—will stay with us forever.

Q: Modifying a python docstring with a decorator: Is it a good idea? A python docstring must be given as a literal string; but sometimes it's useful to have similar docstrings for several functions (e.g., different constructors), or several access methods might accept the same list of arguments (and then rely on the same hidden method), so it would be nice to use the same description everywhere. For such cases I can construct a docstring by assigning to __doc__, which I do by means of a simple decorator. The system works very nicely (in python 2), and I'm pleased with how simple, clear and well-encapsulated it is.
The question: Is this a good idea? In particular, are there tools that would be confused by this set-up (e.g., anything that extracts docstrings from the source rather than from the bytecode). Is the solution still going to work in python 3? Are there other reasons or circumstances that would make this inadvisable?

A: It should not break any tools and it should work on Python 3.
It is ok If it doesn't hurt a source code readability i.e., you can still find out what the function does and how to use it.
The problem might be that it masks a poor design. If several methods use the same list of arguments the code should be refactored (create an object that works with the list) rather than patched by generating repetitive docstrings.

There's a lot to love about Chiropractic - the science of nerve function, the art of correcting posture and spinal alignment.
But the best part is the philosophy that gives meaning to it all.
Physicians focus on body parts, psychologists analyze thoughts and clergy tend to matters of the spirit.
But no one profession touches them all... your physical health, mental health and spiritual health like Chiropractic.
your ability to express physical, mental and spiritual health is simply better.
the thing we love the most, however, is when you become whole again.
Have a Happy and Healthy Valentine's week!

Choosing curriculum can be overwhelming. Enter "homeschool curriculum" into a search engine and you'll find pages and pages of listings. How do you decide what to choose? Sometimes, the price tag decides for you, but when you find something that is within your budget, how do you know you're spending your money wisely? When we first started homeschooling Jude, I had no idea where to begin, beyond typing into a search engine, and asking others turned into dueling opinions.
Here's my first tip: DON'T BUY ANYTHING AT FIRST!
I mean it. Give yourself time to figure things out. If you need to purchase something, then get a crayons for coloring, or a picnic cooler to take when you go exploring on field trips. Otherwise, call it a school vacation and learn without anything formal. Learning doesn't have to come from a book all the time.
Today I'm posting over at Tales of A Pee Dee Mama about how we learned to wade through the selection process. Come join me there and find five more tips for choosing a homeschool curriculum that is right for your student!

Court Halts Logging of Elliott State Forest Tract Sold to Timber Company
A U.S. District Court in Eugene has issued a preliminary ruling preventing Scott Timber from clearcutting a parcel of the Elliott State Forest purchased from the state of Oregon. The court found that the proposed logging of the Benson Ridge parcel by the subsidiary of Roseburg Forest Products would likely harm threatened marbled murrelets, in violation of the federal Endangered Species Act.

Old-Growth Clearcutting Stopped to Protect Threatened Marbled Murrelets
EUGENE, Ore.— A U.S. District Court in Eugene has issued a preliminary ruling preventing Scott Timber from clearcutting a parcel of the Elliott State Forest purchased from the state of Oregon. The court found that the proposed logging of the Benson Ridge parcel by the subsidiary of Roseburg Forest Products would likely harm threatened marbled murrelets, in violation of the federal Endangered Species Act.
In August Cascadia Wildlands, the Center for Biological Diversity and Portland Audubon filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to block Scott Timber from logging the 355-acre parcel of land, part of the 93,000-acre Elliott State Forest until 2014 and home to threatened marbled murrelets. The Endangered Species Act strictly prohibits "take" (harm, harassment or killing) of threatened species like the murrelet, which, unlike any other seabird, nests on the wide branches of large, old trees, making a daily trip of up to 35 miles inland to bring fish to its young. The court's ruling on Monday prevents the logging of the Benson Ridge parcel until a full trial can be had on the merits.
"Today's ruling has enormous implications for the state of Oregon's efforts to dispose of the Elliott State Forest to private timber interests," said Nick Cady, legal director at Cascadia Wildlands. "The state represented to these private timber interests that the forest could be logged without legal consequence, and this ruling establishes that private timber companies can no longer violate federal environmental laws with abandon."
The court's decision is well timed. On Dec. 13 Oregon's State Land Board postponed a decision on a pending proposal to sell the remaining 82,000-acres of the Elliott State Forest to Lone Rock Timber Company. The court's injunction halting the logging planned by Scott Timber indicates Lone Rock could be held liable under federal environmental laws for clearcutting the old-growth forests that once belonged to all Oregonians.
"The state of Oregon should never have sold this land," said Noah Greenwald, endangered species director at the Center for Biological Diversity. "Not only does it have important habitat for the marbled murrelet and other wildlife, but it was there for all Oregonians to enjoy."
In 2012 the three groups sued the state of Oregon for illegally logging marbled murrelet habitat on the Elliott and other state forests. The state settled the suit in 2014, agreeing to drop 26 timber sales and stop logging in occupied murrelet habitat. But following the loss, the state sold three parcels totaling 1,453 acres, even though they contained mature and old-growth forests that are occupied by the murrelet, including the 355-acre Benson Ridge parcel.
"This demonstrates the incredible cynicism that underpins the State's efforts to sell the Elliott off to private timber interests," said Audubon conservation director, Bob Sallinger. "Not only does it put fish and wildlife species at risk and eliminated use for future generations, but it also is predicated on those private timber companies returning to the illegal logging practices that the State was forced to abandon."
The court's preliminary ruling is one of several promising developments for the protection of old-growth forests in Oregon critical to the survival of murrelets and other imperiled wildlife. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife recently initiated a process to uplist the murrelet's state protection status from threatened to endangered. The Oregon Board of Forestry recently decided to take up a petition to identify and develop rules to protect murrelet sites on state and private timber lands.
