Hundreds of mourners gathered at Maywood's Second Baptist Church, 436 S. 13th Ave., on Saturday to celebrate the life of Joe W. Freelon, Sr., Maywood's first African American mayor. Freelon, who died on Nov. 18 of natural causes, was 87 years old.
Born on Sept. 15, 1929, in Grenada, Mississippi, Freelon was one of 13 children. He attended Grenada's elementary and high schools before enlisting in the U.S. Army for three years and eventually enrolling at Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Alabama.
After graduating from Tuskegee's R.O.T.C. program with a bachelor's degree in 1956, Freelon re-entered the military as an officer stationed at Fort Bliss in Texas. Eventually, he would move to Chicago and become a schoolteacher.
In 1964, Freelon and Gladys, his wife of 61 years, moved to Maywood and joined Second Baptist, where Freelon would serve as chairman of the church's deacon board for more than 40 years.
The church was a magnet for former southerners and educators like Louise Denton-Jones, who was also born and raised in Grenada before moving to Maywood and starting a decades-long teaching career.
Freelon was in his early 50s, and had distinguished himself as a social studies and math teacher in Chicago Public Schools, as well as a key community figure, by the time a group of residents tapped him to run for mayor in the early 1980s.
"Joe was first and foremost an educator," wrote U.S. Rep. Danny K. Davis (7th), who sent a letter that was read by his former chief of staff and current Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin (1st) during Saturday's service.
Freelon entered the race as one of eight candidates, including six African Americans. One of them, Bill Hampton — the brother of slain Black Panther leader Fred Hampton — recalled in an interview on Friday that the 1981 race may have featured the most black candidates of any race in the village's history.
According to newspaper accounts, some residents feared that, with so many blacks in the running, they would split the African American vote in what would amount to a missed opportunity at a time when the village's black residents, who had comprised Maywood's majority, were hungry for representation in the mayor's office.
But Freelon prevailed over newspaper publisher Ron Saunders by just 23 votes, a result that Saunders contested in the courts.
In May 1982, a Cook County Circuit Court judge ordered Freelon to vacate his position as mayor due to "large-scale voting irregularities in the April 7, 1981 election that put him in office," according to a May 28, 1982 Chicago Tribune article.
After he stepped down, the village board appointed Freelon acting mayor until a special election could be held on Nov. 3 1982. Freelon would go on to comfortably defeat Saunders by several thousand votes in a head-to-head matchup.
"It is abundantly clear tonight that the people are saying, 'Take your programs and move forward,'" Freelon said when he was elected to an historic first term for the second time.
The Maywood mayor's victory in 1981 predated a wave of major black mayoralties across the country. Two years after the village first elected Freelon, Chicago would elect Harold Washington, Philadelphia would elect Wilson Goode and New York City would elect David Dinkins.
Race played a critical role in urban politics in those years, with blacks jockeying for more local political power while whites fought to maintain their tremendous political advantages against a demographic surge that worked against them.
Months after his historic win, Mayor Washington attended a rally at the Maywood Community Center in order to galvanize support behind an all-black slate comprising four candidates for District 89 school board seats.
The all-black slate, called the Citizens for Representative Education, claimed that the board's white majority from Melrose Park "restricted public comment," among other allegations of discriminatory practices.
Donna Felton, a lawyer who was running on the CRE slate that year, spoke in religious terms when describing the movement to elect more black officials to the school board, among other local seats of power.
Long before Barack Obama, Washington, and the other trailblazing black mayors like him, Freelon included, were models for young African American men, particularly in the South, who had never seen themselves in those positions of power.
David Core, Gladys' nephew, was a young man in Alabama when his Uncle Joe was first elected mayor.
Freelon's election was also a boon to local religious leaders, some of whom found a sympathetic ear in the longtime deacon.
One pastor, who spoke briefly on Saturday, said the mayor helped alleviate a conflict related to Sunday parking near the pastor's Maywood church.
The village's first black mayor, said another pastor during brief comments on Saturday, was a church leader before he was a politician.
Freelon would need to tap into reserves of that commitment during the long, drawn-out battle for greater representation that local black leaders were fighting throughout his first term.
In addition to the prolonged legal battles he endured after his 1981 election, the mayor also had to confront a lull in that electoral crusade Felton referenced.
The CRE slate of four blacks, Freelon told reporters, wasn't generating anywhere near as much support, a disappointing reality that was compounded by low voter turnout.
In majority black precincts in Maywood, voters "were giving the black slate margins of only 5 of 10 votes," and "only 25 percent of the voters in Maywood came to the polls, about half the turnout that the black slate estimated it needed," the Tribune reported.
All wasn't lost, however. Some black political leaders, like CRE candidate William Frayser, considered the losing effort just a start in a larger war for greater political representation.
By 1984, Freelon was looking beyond Maywood and even Chicago for a glimpse of the future of black political representation. In those days, much of that future hinged on Jesse Jackson.
Mayor Freelon's election came in the wake of drastic racial change in Maywood. In 1970, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Maywood's black residents comprised roughly 41 percent of its total population. By 1980, blacks were 75 percent of a village that had lost more than 2,000 residents — from around 30,000 in 1970 to around 28,000 a decade later — and thousands of jobs.
In 1975, the 18-acre American Can Co. plant, once the largest employer in town, closed its doors. Around the same time, a Canada Dry bottling plant also closed. Those two companies, according to estimated accounts published by the Tribune, employed around 8,000 people.
When those major local employers closed, smaller businesses that depended on the incomes gained from them closed, too.
The loss of stable jobs, small businesses and homeowners in the village, the cumulative impact of which residents are still living with now, precipitated a loss of tax revenue and all of the complications that come with that loss.
A 1976 work stoppage among Maywood police officers was followed by another one in 1983, while Freelon was two years into his first term.
That year, Maywood patrolmen were demanding a 7 percent salary increase and permanent shifts. The village, the mayor said at the time, simply didn't have enough money to fund that large of a pay raise. A full-blown police strike was averted after the village offered a graduated salary increase.
There would be more work stoppages and strikes to come, including a massive strike by village employees in September 1986 that nearly "shut down village hall and the police station but had little immediate effect on city services," the Tribune reported.
Many of the problems that Freelon confronted are eerily similar to those pestering village officials now.
In February 1983, the mayor and his colleagues confronted around $750,000 worth of overdue water bills and up to $1 million worth of overdue parking tickets by implementing shutoffs for delinquent customers and attaching boots to the cars of people with the most outstanding parking fines.
Within less than five months of implementing the shutoffs, the Tribune reported at the time, village officials had collected $322,000. That figure is similar to the estimated $333,000 that the village collected within several days after sending shutoff notices to residents more than 60 days behind on their water payments last June.
That more recent collection attempt was to address what current Maywood Village Manager Willie Norfleet called "the extreme delinquency" of unpaid water bills that amounted to more than $1 million.
And just as current residents often complain of the village's crime rate now, the issue was no less pressing more than two decades ago — dominating, and perhaps ultimately upsetting, Freelon's bid for a third-term in 1989, which he lost to State Farm insurance agent Don Williams.
Williams and Solomon Smith, the third candidate in that race (who was a retired Maywood police chief under Freelon's predecessor), hammered the sitting mayor on the village's increasing crime rate.
But Freelon's four terms in office (after losing in 1989, he would later win his seat back in 1993 and serve for eight more years) may be characterized as much by the precedents the former mayor established as by the problems that dogged the village back then and that persist today.
Freelon presided over the construction of the police station at 125 S. 5th Ave., where the current mayor's office and village council chambers are also housed. In addition, numerous committees and commissions, such as a beautification committee and a Water Service Commission, were created during his tenure.
"There's been a change in attitude in recent years," Mayor Freelon told the Tribune in 1997, when the village bought and demolished the decaying American Can site on St. Charles Road.
Articulating an approach to economic development that would be followed by mayors and elected officials who would come after him, Freelon told the Tribune that the village would focus on attracting a diverse array of businesses from smaller industries.
The razing of the old American Can plant — long a symbol of a bygone economic reality — would make way for Aetna Plywood, a wood and laminate products distributor, and Cintas Corp., a laundry and distribution center along St. Charles Road.
Although they did not begin to replace the amount of employment that American Can and Canada Dry provided, the two facilities would generate close to 200 jobs, according to one estimate published by the Tribune.
More, perhaps, than most places, current and former residents of Maywood have an unyielding faith in the town's people — a belief that Freelon often touted.
"Maywood is a community where most people not only know each other but take care of each other," the mayor told the Tribune. "People may think of us as a blue-collar place, but that makes us a very rich place indeed.
Long after he retired from public service, Freelon could often be found in the basement of his church, teaching Bible study.
"He was one of the best teachers we had," said Evangelist Frances Harris, a longtime minister at Second Baptist, during Freelon's funeral on Saturday.
The former mayor, who served as chairman of the church's deacon board for more than 40 years, was also a longtime board member for the church's Maple Tree Child Care Center.
He also served in various civic capacities until his death. In 2014, he was appointed to the fire and police pension board by sitting Maywood Mayor Edwenna Perkins. In October, the police department honored Freelon for "initiating a turnaround" for the village.
Freelon's post-retirement accolades would also include, perhaps most prominently, a bust of his likeness that was installed in the entrance to Maywood's administrative building at 40 Madison St.
But although he received lots of public praise, loved ones said Saturday, the late mayor really lived to serve his wife; his two children, Joe Jr. and Gawana; his five grandchildren, including Dannie, Joe III and Alice, and his five great-grandchildren.
"Many times you wouldn't have to tell him that you had a need because if he knew it, he would just step up and take care of it," said Freelon's goddaughter, Benita Thomas Leon.
"Through the years, I saw him serve without complaining, doing everyday things such as going to the grocery store for the family [and] during the times he chauffeured my godmother and me to the shopping centers, knowing he'd probably be there all day and half the night," she said.
It's a legacy of quiet greatness that his relatives will always be striving to live up to, said Freelon's grandsons Joey III and Dannie, the latter of whom read a poem often cited by members of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, of which the late mayor was a member.
Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin recalled Maywood's motto, 'The village of eternal light,' when describing the late mayor.

Q: What is this in my syslog and should I be concerned? I'm seeing a lot of the following line in /var/log/syslog:
Jun 21 14:36:15 my-server kernel: [416219.080061] iptables denied: IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:the-mac-address:08:00 SRC=0.0.0.0 DST=255.255.255.255 LEN=328 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=10081 PROTO=UDP SPT=68 DPT=67 LEN=308

This seems to happen just about every minute. Is this just my server trying to broadcast something and my own iptables denying it from happening? If so, what kind of service might do such a thing, and should I allow it? I'm running Postgres 9.2.4 on Ubuntu 12.04.2, and basically no other services aside from the basic, pre-installed packages.

A: Those are just DHCP messages, either your server, or another is looking to configure an interface.

A: Your original question has been answered by NickW above, but in case it's helpful to you the next time something like this happens, here's a quick way to tell for yourself.
The last bit of that log line says "PROTO=UDP SPT=68 DPT=67".
This means that the packet denied by the firewall was a UDP packet, whose source port is 68, and whose destination is port 67.
You can then do: "egrep -w  '67|68' /etc/services" in a terminal, and the output (at least on my Ubuntu box) shows:
bootps      67/tcp              # BOOTP server
bootps      67/udp
bootpc      68/tcp              # BOOTP client
bootpc      68/udp

You can google bootp/dhcp to learn more about the differences/similarities. Just wanted to show how you can take apart the iptables log line for yourself, for future reference.
The log line tells you other useful stuff, like the fact that the packet is coming "IN=eth0" or inbound on your eth0 interface.
PS: Question for you: what do you mean by "The private network that my server is in blocks bcast"?

HOUSTON TEXANS The all-time series with the Texans only includes games with that franchise, not the original Houston Oilers who became the Tennessee Titans during the 1990s. The two teams now play each other once every four seasons as part of the NFL's inter-conference scheduling arrangement with Texans winning their most recent meeting in September 2015. They were regular pre-season opponents however with the Buccaneers leading the all-time series 7-2 in games played each season from 2002 through 2010.


I've never been completely sold on gift guides, mainly because they never seem to help me find gifts for other people just add extra things to my wish list. This year however, I wanted to give it a go – new name and everything. The problem is, the market is so overly saturated with gift guides to buy this and wear that – I wanted to do something different. Something funny and functional but writing about what I know. Which was obvious in my first gift guide – for your dog – ha! And in a nostalgic moment, I shared an old tradition through my secret Santa gift guide. So why gifts for your dog walker? Well a used to be a dog walker in high school and I remember getting the most random gifts from my clients, until they finally settled on a good old fashioned cheque.
It got me to thinking, what gifts would I have wanted? A range of anything from a practical backpack, so I could do my job better, to something relaxing after a day in the freezing cold with someone else's dog. Without further ado, I bring you Staci & Co gift guide number four!

While cleaning up a few things on my FC3 upgrade. I noticed LogJam complaining about a very long list of library failures. I noticed that most of the problems were version numbers, so I figured I'd simply re-install. Here's the problem I'm running into, and frankly, I don't know enough C to deal with this. Any body have a clue about this? Thanks in advance for your help.
Here's the relevant output from the make.
I think this was mentioned earlier in another post, it should be fixed in version control. Or maybe you can just add a semicolon to that line.
Yep. That did it. Should have looked back a few posts before posting. Thanks for the tip, though.

Three Maryland Court of Appeals justices seek retention in November
Maryland Court of Appeals Justices Brynja McDivitt Booth, Jonathan Biran, and Mary Ellen Barbera are all seeking retention on November 3, 2020. Booth and Biran were appointed by Gov. Larry Hogan (R) while Barbera was appointed by Gov. Martin O'Malley (D).
Currently, three of the seven justices on the court were appointed by a Democratic governor while four were appointed by a Republican governor.
The governor appoints the seven justices of the appellate court with the assistance of a judicial nominating commission. The Maryland Appellate Courts Judicial Nominating Commission is made up of 17 members, all appointed by the governor. Five of these members are first nominated by the Maryland State Bar Association. After the governor appoints a justice, the Maryland Senate must then confirm the appointment.
New justices must face a retention election during the next general election after they serve at least one year on the bench. Justices then stand for retention every ten years with a mandatory retirement age of 70. Since 2008, justices facing retention elections have won 98% of the time. In Maryland, there has not been a single justice that lost retention during this same time frame.

Main Street Fairmont met with Matt Wagner from the National Main Street Center on May 22-23. The purpose of this meeting was to introduce us to the new transformation strategies of the Main Street program.
During his visit, Matt met with property owners, realtors, civic institutions, city officials and key business owners to get their input on the current strengths and weaknesses of downtown Fairmont. With their input and the results of 403 surveys taken by the general public, Matt put together a presentation to help us better understand these new strategies and how we can use them to re-evaluate and refresh our goals and objectives.
Then on June 20-21, we had a visit with Kathy La Plante, also with the National Main Street Center. She helped us incorporate these new transformation strategies into our 2018 Work Plan.
We will still be using the "Four Points" approach to revitalizing downtown, but we'll also be using our new customized strategies and work plan to help guide us through the upcoming year.
The "Four-Point Refresh" will give us more organizational flexibility, with emphasis on the STRATEGY, not the Main Street point.
Introduce your recommended "Transformation Strategies"
How do you choose your strategies?
How does it affect your work plan?
and reflect the community's vision. They will guide the direction of the revitalization initiatives and will be implemented through all "Four Points".

England's Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) has just brought out its evaluation of virtual learning environments (VLEs) or, to be more precise, their use within schools and colleges. Here is a summary of the summary, at least the way I read it.
• .... where they are being used at all, of course.
• ... and the senior leadership team.
• It takes resources to develop the VLE and its use.
As someone commented to me at the BETT show last week, you could take the term "VLE" and replace it with any other technology -- interactive whiteboard, computer, pda, Web 2.0, anything you like -- and the report would read pretty much the same.
It seems to me that this will always be the case. So what needs to be built in to any new initiative are mechanisms for enabling the enthusiasts to (a) develop what they're doing in very practical ways (like exempting them from cover arrangements on condition that they use that time to do what they need to do with regard to the technology in question) and (b) capturing what they're doing in the form of case studies that others can learn from and be enthused by.

CrossDresser 4 License for Isaac Iverson. Purchasing this license allows you to convert clothing from any supported figure to Issac Iverson.
Be sure to run the XD Updater application to download the proper figure support files before installing your license.
The CrossDresser is a one-click, high quality, fast clothing conversion program for Poser and Daz Studio. It takes clothing designed for one figure and converts it to fit onto another figure. The conversions run in seconds and fit the target character almost perfectly. The converted clothing is also placed directly into your Runtime directory, and can be used immediately. Most clothing will only need minor adjustments to work just as well as the original clothing.
CrossDresser 4.0 has been re-written from the ground up in order to improve the quality and speed of your clothing conversions. The newest version uses highly optimized algorithms to quickly convert clothing between figures at a very high quality. Most conversions will finish in a few seconds. To correct fitting issues, CrossDresser also provides over 50 fix morphs that you can apply to the object directly during the conversion or to the converted clothing's CR2 file so you can adjust them later in Poser or Daz Studio.
CrossDresser also provides numerous other features to improve and customize your clothing conversions. You can remove falloff zones from any bone, transfer movement morphs and materials from the original clothing, weld seams, and add standard skirt handles. Also, a new feature in 4.0 allows you to define rigid groups by material so they don't get distorted during conversion.
The CrossDresser program itself is free. Purchasing a figure license for a particular figure allows you to convert clothing to that figure from any supported figure.

The new title from the #1 top-selling console franchise in the UK and North America for seven consecutive years, delivers a bold, new direction by exploring the weight of leadership in an emotional, character-driven narrative. In a first for the franchise, Infinite Warfare introduces an all-new story happening throughout our solar system, delivering gameplay innovations, such as space dog-fighting and zero-g combat, as well as seamless transitions from experience-to-experience keeping players constantly immersed in the action. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is published by Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc and developed by Activision's Infinity Ward.
In another first for Call of Duty ®, Infinite Warfare also features the greatest bonus content in franchise history through the Legacy and Digital Deluxe Editions, which include Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® Remastered. A celebration of one of the most critically-acclaimed games in history, Call of Duty ® 4: Modern Warfare ®, the new remastered version has been completely enhanced for a new generation.
Packed with an incredible amount of content and variety, Call of Duty continues to deliver something for all players across three unique modes of play in Infinite Warfare: an epic single-player story campaign that puts narrative front and center as players are taken on a classic journey with unforgettable characters; an all-new, 4-player cooperative zombies mode called 'Zombies in Spaceland' that takes players on a wild ride into a 1980's amusement park; and a deep and rewarding multiplayer mode with robust customization options to suit different play styles, including an all-new weapons crafting system, full eSports integration and much more.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare multiplayer allows gamers to customise their play like never before, giving players more ways to optimize their weapons and gear to their style of play. Infinite Warfare introduces the most advanced tools of war: combat rigs, high-tech equipment, and unique prototype weapons. It's an incredibly deep experience where everything – including weapons, gear, lethals and tacticals – has been built around different types of play styles, and where fans have the power to combine them however they want. The mode features unparalleled customisation, combined with the fluid, momentum-based movement system of Call of Duty®: Black Ops III evolved to custom-fit the new combat, to create a frenetic gameplay experience where every second counts.
The multiplayer mode also introduces more ways than ever to earn rewards and upgrade weapons. For the first time in Call of Duty, the game features an all-new crafting system that allows fans to use Salvage, an in-game currency earned during play, to create Prototype weapons that come with special cosmetic and functional benefits called "Gun Perks." Additionally, players can level up and acquire specific weapons through Mission Teams. Fans can join four distinct Mission Teams, each with its own personality, challenges and team commander, to earn exclusive rewards unique to that team.
In addition, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare debuts an all-new cooperative mode called 'Zombies in Spaceland.' The mode transports players into an original, action-packed storyline where they'll fight as one of four classic '80s archetypes to battle the living dead in a space-themed amusement park full of deadly zombies, fun attractions and much more. The mode can be played solo or with up to three other players, and is easy for new fans to jump in right away.
Also available is the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Season Pass, which can be purchased on its own or obtained as part of the Legacy Pro and Digital Deluxe editions of the game. Season Pass gives discounted access to four Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare DLC Map Packs released during 2017 that take innovative multiplayer mechanics to a variety of all-new, sensational environments. The DLC Map Packs will be available first on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and availability and release dates may vary by platform. Season Pass owners will also get four new terrifying zombie adventures featuring quirky environments and fearsome enemies. Additionally, as a special offer, Season Pass owners will receive 10 Rare Supply Drops and 1,000 bonus Salvage that fans can use to craft new Prototype weapons in multiplayer.
Additionally, available today to PlayStation VR fans, at no cost, is the all-new Call of Duty PlayStation VR experience "Jackal Assault," which immerses fans in the cockpit and puts them in control of a Jackal, the personal fighter jet in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

UW Student, Art Museum Curator Admitted to Winterthur Graduate Program

Kayle Avery, University of Wyoming Art Museum employee and alumnus of UW's Department of History, has been admitted into the Winterthur Program for American Material Culture at the University of Delaware.
The program's main focus of study is anything and everything related to American material culture of the past, from imports to decorative arts, paintings to prints, saddles to chairs. Its goal is to prepare professionals for work analyzing and interpreting objects.
"The Winterthur is the premier graduate training program in American material culture studies in the country. It's extraordinarily competitive," says Isadora Helfgott, head of UW's Department of History.
Avery, currently acting as assistant curator at the UW Art Museum, has benefited immensely from the opportunities provided to students for firsthand experience in museum studies at UW.
"I don't think I would be able to have done any of this if it weren't for the amazing resources that we have on campus," says Avery, who grew up in Laramie. "I've had three amazing mentors throughout my time here: Laura Vietti, Isadora Helfgott and Nicole Crawford."
After getting his start as a work-study under Vietti, UW Geological Museum and collections manager, Avery was inspired to start focusing on museum studies. As he continued, Helfgott introduced the Winterthur program to Avery and encouraged him to apply, and Crawford mentored Avery at the Art Museum, where she is the chief curator.
Avery says he is excited to experience the interesting and challenging program -- and to gain the skills to look at almost any object and be able to identify what it is made from, what period it came from and how it got here. The Winterthur program also has one of five graduate art conservation programs in North America, which involves heavy-duty chemistry work and art history, which Avery also is excited to learn about.
"I've gotten all of the practical experience I could imagine," Avery says. "That's why this program really appealed to me -- because it was stuff that I couldn't necessarily train myself to do. I've trained myself and had mentors, but this is a field wherein I'll need deep, academic-level research and instruction."
Avery is the second graduate of UW's history department to be admitted to the Winterthur program in the last two years. RJ Lara, a 2017 UW history graduate, is completing his final year in the program.
"Having students admitted to a program like the Winterthur really shows that they are able to think quickly about how what they have learned applies outside the classroom," Helfgott says. "It is a testament to the breadth of what's possible with a history degree -- and, in particular, the way our program trains students to think critically and to apply what they've learned in classes to the project of presenting history in a larger context."

We recently shared a special report in which our Private Capital Markets team in London discussed the ways in which the European private capital markets are adjusting to Brexit's fast approach.
Two months into the new year, there is still a lot of uncertainty around the UK's departure from the EU and what it will mean for companies and their investors.
Today, Ipreo PCM's Sarah Broderick and Jose Perez are back to further discuss the impact of Brexit on the private capital landscape in Europe and the UK. Whether Brexit is creating uncertainty or opportunity is open, dependent upon one's perspective, and based on their findings in the private capital markets industry, it's shaking out differently in the various European markets.

Connecticut reports 3rd measles of the year, linked to Brooklyn outbreak
The Connecticut Department of Public Health confirmed the state's third measles case of the year on Friday.
The patient from New Haven County contracted the viral disease during the last week of March while on a visit to Brooklyn, NY and is linked to an ongoing outbreak of measles in New York City.
The latest case of measles is not related to two previously confirmed cases in Connecticut reported in January.
New York City health commissioner orders vaccination amidst measles outbreak
"We are monitoring and investigating this case very closely, including working with our local health departments to follow up with any individuals that may have been exposed to measles," said Connecticut DPH Commissioner Renée D. Coleman-Mitchell. "Science tells us that the single best thing anyone can do to protect themselves from this highly contagious virus is to get vaccinated. Connecticut has very high vaccination rates, so we are at low risk for a widespread measles outbreak. If you have a fever and a rash and you think you might have measles, you should avoid public settings and call your healthcare provider BEFORE going directly to a healthcare facility so steps can be taken to avoid possibly exposing others."
The latest case of measles in Connecticut had rash onset on April 11, 2019. The infectious period for this individual is between April 7-12, 2019 and the case was isolated as of today. The average incubation period of measles (from contact with a case until onset of rash) is 14 days, with a range of 7–21 days. Cases are considered infectious from four days before rash onset through four days after.

Raven Symone, Jaleel White, Debbie Allen Talk "The Hot Chocolate Nutcracker"
One of the many advantages to living in a show biz town is being able to see spectacular performances throughout the year. That said, Debbie Allen's "The Hot Chocolate Nutcracker," does not disappoint! It's a wonderful show for young people and for those of us who still have a lot of kid left in us, especially during the holiday season.
In my previous interview with the force known as Debbie Allen, she described her adaptation of the classic Christmas story as a global exploration through dance, music, and traditional native costumes. She did not exaggerate! We traveled to several distant worlds rich in history and culture including Asia and Africa, but of course never physically left our seats. But thanks to Allen's direction and vision, we danced before ancient pyramids in Egypt, clicked castanets to the native rhythms of Spain, and marveled in space and time as amazing trapeze performers challenged laws of gravity.
Amid hundreds of talented kids "The Hot Chocolate Nutcracker" also stars two of our favorite television child actors that are now all grown up: Raven Symone of "That's So Raven", and "Family Matters" Jaleel White. Costumed as the cutest rodents you'll ever want to meet, they help move the story along through humor and song. And beneath the whiskers and fur, you may also recognize Debbie Allen herself having fun on stage.
Last night, while on the red carpet, I got a chance to hear Raven and Jaleel share their excitement about their roles with press as well as snap a few photos of celebrity arrivals. So roll the video below and be sure to head to Hollywood As I Live & Work's Facebook fan page to see some of who came out to support Debbie's "The Hot Chocolate Nutcracker."

Q: Updating dropdown list after date change in asp.net mvc 5 While writing my code i've stumbled upon this problem:
I have the following code:

        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.RegistryDate, new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

                <input type='text' class="form-control" name="RegistryDate" />

        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.DoctorId, "Doctor", new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

            @Html.DropDownDoctorsFor(model => model.DoctorId, new { @class = "col-sm-7 form-control"})
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.DoctorId)

With my DropDownDoctor helper looking like this:
    public static MvcHtmlString DropDownDoctorsFor<TModel, TValue>(this HtmlHelper<TModel> helper, Expression<Func<TModel, TValue>> expression, object htmlAttrubutes, string name = "")
    {
        var htmlAttr = GenerateHtmlAttributes(htmlAttrubutes);

        var db = new MyContext();

        var doctors = db.Workers.OfType<Doctor>().ToList();

        var doctorsListItem = doctors.Select(doctor => new SelectListItem()
        {
            Text = doctor.FirstName + " " + doctor.LastName + " | " + WorkerHelper.GetNumberOfPatientsForDoctor(doctor.Id) ,
            Value = doctor.Id.ToString()
        });

        if (name == "")
            name = ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText(expression);
        var value = expression.Compile()(helper.ViewData.Model).ToString();

        StringBuilder dropdown = new StringBuilder();
        dropdown.Append(String.Format(@"<select name='{0}' {1}>", name, htmlAttr));
        string selected = "";
        foreach (var item in doctorsListItem)
        {
            if (value == item.Value)
                selected = "selected='selected'";
            else selected = "";
            dropdown.Append(String.Format("<option value='{0}' {1} >{2}</option>", item.Value, selected, item.Text));
        }
        dropdown.Append(@"</select>");

        return MvcHtmlString.Create(dropdown.ToString());
    }

What i would like to do is to update the select list, so that it shows the number of patients for doctor on selected date with the default value for today. I have completely no idea how to do it. I would be really appreciative for any help.

Before the accident that claimed one of her legs, her dad already saw it in a dream but the dream didn't note that she was going to be the victim.
On the day of the incidence, Doris Akonanya was asked to stay at home and take care of her younger siblings, but she followed her elder sister, who was asked to go to the shop. As they were about to cross a highway, Doris was hit by a bike and a leg was broken. The leg was eventually amputated.
Thinking she had lost her dreams of becoming an actress alongside her legs, Doris was sad. One day, she came across a book by Nick Vujicic, an Australian Christian evangelist and motivational speaker born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of arms and legs.
That encounter changed her life as she believed that she could be all she wanted. She gained admission at the university to study Theatre Arts and many of her colleagues wondered what she was there for.
She proved them wrong as she partook in many of the stage performances required of a Drama student. Upon graduation, she went for auditions and soon landed the lead role in a movie.

Micro-climate moulds and reshapes northern insect communities, herbivory and predation
Life science news
Climate and changes in it have direct impacts on species of plant and animals – but climate may also shape more complex biological systems like food webs. Now a research group from the University of Helsinki has investigated how micro-climate shapes each level of the ecosystem, from species' abundances in predator communities to parasitism rates in key herbivores, and ultimately to damage suffered by plants. The results reveal how climate change may drastically reshape northern ecosystems.
Understanding the impact of climatic conditions on species interactions is imperative, as these interactions include such potent ecological forces as herbivory, pollination and parasitism.
Lead researcher Tuomas Kankaanpää from the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Helsinki, investigated how insect communities are assembled along micro-climatic gradients found on a mountainside in Northeast Greenland. He then compared this variation in environmental conditions to variation in the structure and function of different compartments of a food web. This web consists of a flowering plant as the primary producer (mountain avens), of moth larvae feeding on the flowers as consumers, and of parasitic wasps and flies, which, in turn, use moth larvae as living nurseries for their own offspring.
The study identified the micro-climate as an important factor in determining the local structure of parasitoid communities. Even within the uniform focal habitat type (heathland dominated by mountain avens), the abundances of species and the strengths interspecific interactions changed with climatic factors. As parasitoids are fairly specialized predators, they are particularly sensitive to environmental changes.
– To understand the more general impact of climate, we cannot always go species-by-species in each area. Rather, we need to uncover the uniting characteristics of species which show similar responses to climatic conditions, explains Kankaanpää.
For the parasitoid insects of the North, one key trait turned out to be the way in which parasitoid species use their hosts. Species that spend considerable time dormant inside of their host, waiting for it to grow, form one group: they tend to prefer sites on which snow melts early and summers which are hot and dry. Conversely, species that attack full-sized host larvae or pupae appear to do better at sites where thicker snow cover offers protection from cold winter temperatures.
The larvae of the noctuid moth, Sympistis zettterstedtii, come up especially during nighttime to feed on the pistils and stigmas of the mountain avens flowers, thus directly reducing the seed production of the plant.
The larvae of the dominant avens-feeding moth species also preferred warm and dry areas in the landscape. The same association was evident in a long time-series collected as a part of an ongoing monitoring program at the Zackenberg research station. During the past two decades, winters with thin snow cover and warm summers have resulted in an increased proportion of avens flowers being consumed.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SEASONALITY OF SPECIES SHIFTS?
A potentially serious consequence of climate change is a phenological mismatch – i.e. a situation in which the seasonality of interacting species change at a different rate. This can lead to situations where e.g. herbivorous insects escape some of their predators in time, thereby allowing herbivore populations to grow. The researchers found that the two dominant parasitoids preying on the focal moth larvae showed distinctly different temporal relationships with their host. One of the parasitoids matched the flowering of mountain avens and the development of its host larvae near perfectly across the wide range of spring arrival recorded within the study area. Yet, the other parasitoid species proved only loosely trimmed to coincide with specific life stages of its host. Such shifts can make a big difference once two parasitoids occupy the same host individual and competition within the still-living food source becomes physical. If one is then at the right stage and the other not, this can affect the outcome of the game.
– The parasitoids communities of the far North have previously received little attention. This is surprising, as these communities are species-poor, and thereby offer excellent opportunities to study what factors influence how species come together and interact, says Kankaanpää.
The research group behind the study bridges two countries and two universities, the University of Helsinki and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). It is led by Professor Tomas Roslin. The group has studied insect interactions across the world and in Greenland and regards the Arctic as an ideal observatory for monitoring the effects of climate change. In the High Arctic, the climate is changing especially fast – and within this zone, North East Greenland offers a region where other human impacts are minimal, thereby allowing researchers to isolate the unique effects of climate.
How insect communities vary along landscape-level micro-climates provides clues as to how such communities may change with time. Kankaanpää stresses that there is much work to be done before we can fully understand how climate change will reverberate through networks of live interactions. Do, for example, the outbreaks of a single herbivore species pose direct risks to those other herbivores with which it happens to share parasitoids? Can the feeding of large hoards of the joint enemies eventually extirpate the rarer host?
The study was published in the Journal of Animal Ecology..

Scarrier than hell! The Oak Hill Picture Show on DVD.
Cassandra (Bobbie Jo Westphal) has been plagued her whole life by premonitory dreams that foretell death, which she discovered when she predicted her own mother's demise. Now she has foreseen the deaths of every one of her best friends, so in order to prevent them she brings them all to an abandoned house that she hopes is out of harm's way. Unfortunately, fate has other plans, as a brutal killer stalks the youngsters--who are now conveniently collected under one roof.


*Disclosure: I was sent some of these ingredients for the recipe. All opinions are my own.
I had a lovely Easter and this year I had the chance to try something new for me. I had never tried hot cross buns before and this year I gave them a try.
My first taste of hot cross buns was a slighty different version, accentuated with a lemony twist on the traditional taste. I had Yuzu & Honey Hot Cross Buns and they were delicious! I'll definitely be making these again in the future.
The yuzu gives them a zesty tang, whilst the honey gives an additional depth of flavour. Yutaka ( www.yutaka.london ) is the UK's leading Japanese food company with its range of authentic, traditional ingredients that allow you to make everything from sushi to delicious katsu curry in the comfort of your own home.
Preheat oven to 220c or gas mark seven. Mix the flour for the cross with some water to make a basic dough. Place in piping bag and pipe one line across each bun then repeat to form the cross.You can brush buns beaten egg to give a glaze.

You've probably already heard about (and may have seen) Google's "new look" for Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Sites and other Google Apps services. What you may not have realized is that this is just the surface of a major change to improve Section 508 compliance and make Google Apps a more fully accessible service.
Part of Google's accessibility plan is to move to HTML5, the web's most current page formatting language. HTML5 allows Google to provide a rich user experience on conventional web browsers while also providing a rich user experience for screen readers and other accessibility tools.
This switch to HTML5 may require you upgrade or change your web browser to a version that supports HTML5. The following browsers support HTML5:
Google Chrome updates automatically to ensure you have the latest version and the fullest support for new web technologies. It's available for Windows, Macintosh and Linux.
Mozilla Firefox 8 is the latest version of the Firefox browser. Firefox will check for and notify you when updates are available. It's available for Windows, Macintosh and Linux.
Apple Safari 5 is the latest version of the Safari browser. Safari includes the Apple Software Update tool to notify you when updates are available. It's available for Windows and Macintosh.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 is the latest version of Internet Explorer. Microsoft Update will check for and notify you when updates are available. IE9 is only available for Windows 7. Internet Explorer 8 is the newest version of IE available for Windows XP. If you must use an earlier version of Internet Explorer please install Chrome Frame.

Domino Servers shut-down starts on February 1
The deadline to migrate active Domino users to Google Apps is January 31, 2011. For budgetary and strategic reasons, SJSU determined in 2009 that we would migrate away from on-premises email systems including Domino email and related services. As a result, Domino licensing agreements have been significantly reduced since that time, and the migration is now approaching completion. User accounts on the system will not be maintained after January 31, 2011.

Information Technology Governance at San José State University
Posted on behalf of Interim President Don Kassing.
San José State University has operated for many years with a distributed model for governance and oversight of information technology (IT), with separate IT units in various divisions coordinating to deliver IT services to the university community. Responsibilities for managing IT throughout the university range in scope from centralized infrastructure units to divisional applications and services to departmental desktop support groups.
It has become apparent that to bring an enterprise-level perspective and approach to the governance and oversight of IT across the university, we need to revise and restructure some aspects of this current governance model. However, a complete overhaul of the university's IT administration is not warranted, as many aspects of IT within our current model are working well. What is needed is an approach that enables successful innovative, integrated and collaborative IT oversight across the university, while retaining aspects that meet needs more locally at divisional, departmental and user levels.
Towards that end, we are revising the university's IT governance structure in three ways, which will accrue benefits from having a Chief Information Officer who serves as the university's IT visionary and strategist, but also retain operational benefits of localized delivery at the unit level. The first two IT governance modifications involve the creation of multi-divisional bodies that are charged with responsibility for coordinating the university's collaborative IT efforts. The third modification is the reassignment of the University Technology Services (UTS) unit, under the direction of the CIO, into the Academic Affairs Division where it can align more closely with the university's mission of instruction, research, and student success.
Information Technology Governing Board
The IT Governing Board is the senior-most body, reporting to the President, and is responsible for long-term visioning, planning, prioritizing, and overall coordination of IT across the university. The IT Governing Board is advisory to the President of San José State University and is responsible for the overall guidance, integration, coordination, and prioritization of information technology activities in the university. The Board will work in collaboration with the President's Cabinet, the Chief Information Officer, the Academic Senate, and other constituents throughout the university to develop long-term visions and strategic directions for information technology planning, prioritization, and utilization across the university.
The IT Governing Board is comprised of senior members of the university appointed by the President to represent key roles or responsibilities in different areas of the university. Members are functional or business unit leaders, not IT managers, and are expected to contribute to the Board's oversight responsibilities through leadership and guidance from an enterprise-wide business process and functional need perspective; membership on the board may not be delegated.

Information Technology Management Council
The IT Management Council is the operational management body responsible for the development, implementation, maintenance, and on-going operations of the university's many different IT-related projects and systems. The IT Management Council is a group of senior IT managers and staff from across the university, convened to work collaboratively in managing information technology throughout the institution. Utilizing an enterprise-wide perspective, the council is responsible for coordinating and directing activities that are required to manage and/or support university IT resources. These activities include developing, implementing, and maintaining IT systems (both centralized and distributed), as well as providing support and training for IT users across the entire range of university IT resources – from central administrative systems down to the desktop user level.

Reassignment of CIO/University Technology Services to Academic Affairs Division
Finally, the third key element of the university's new IT governance model is the reassignment of the University Technology Services unit, currently a division headed by the Vice President for Information Technology and CIO, to the Academic Affairs Division under the oversight of the Provost. The former Vice President position will be retitled Vice Provost and Chief Information Officer and within Academic Affairs will continue to supervise the UTS organization and staff. The CIO position will report to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.
The reassignment of UTS to Academic Affairs will help align the university's central infrastructure services, such as campus networking, and enterprise-wide voice, data, and information security functions, with the instructional services currently provided by Academic Technology. These services include classroom technologies, campus audio/video distribution, student and faculty helpdesk, and web services. This alignment is expected to enhance development and delivery of innovative educational technologies, support for the university's learning management tools, and services for faculty development in areas of technology related to teaching and learning.
IT units in the Administration & Finance and Student Affairs Divisions will remain intact, for the most part, in their current divisional structures and reporting relationships. Administration & Finance will continue to house the university's enterprise administrative systems, which include the university's Common Management System (CMS) implementations for Finance, Human Resources, and Student Administration applications through PeopleSoft. This unit also provides administrative applications programming support and database administration, security support, and CMS training and helpdesk support. Similarly, the Student Affairs IT unit will continue to support numerous student-oriented systems such as CSUMentor and NextSteps communications, which interface closely with CMS applications such as MySJSU and CMS-Student, and also internal operational systems, databases, and desktop users in units such as Health Services, Counseling and other Student Affairs groups.
In closing, moving the CIO and UTS into Academic Affairs will enable significantly closer alignment of the university's IT vision, strategy, and planning with our core mission of instruction, research, and student success. Important IT functions such as learning management systems, classroom technologies, computing lab facilities, and student, faculty and staff support can be integrated and coordinated more effectively and more comprehensively as an institution. Moreover, new developments in the ever-changing technology landscape, such as mobile devices, wireless capabilities, social media, and cloud computing applications can be brought into the university's learning environments more quickly and more effectively with closer ties between the core IT function and instructional activities.
The migration and integration of the UTS function into Academic Affairs will be planned and carried out gradually through the Spring 2011 semester, with the official organizational reassignment planned for July 1, 2011. During this transition period, Bill Nance, the President's Chief of Staff and current Interim CIO, will continue to serve in his dual role and help coordinate the transition. Per university policy for academic administrators, the Academic Affairs Division will conduct a search during the Spring 2011 semester to appoint a permanent CIO for the unit.
