"Brown v. Board of Education" Series: Dr. Frank King
Stephanie Johnson, [email protected]|April 18, 2019
The Exponent is continuing our interview series by featuring the 65th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. This was a landmark 1954 Supreme Court case in which the justices unanimously ruled that the racial segregation of public schools was unconstitutional. It was one of the cornerstones of the civil rights movement, helping to abolish the precedent of "separate but equal."
Dr. Frank King is an assistant professor of ethnic studies at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. In his courses he focuses on the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality and religion. His areas of specialization include Hip Hop pedagogy, the prison-industrial complex, Afrocentric philosophy and African American history. King attended and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in education at Eastern Washington University in 2006. In 2013, he received his Ph.D. in American studies.
Would you like to comment on the current protests in athletics?
Sports and politics have always been connected, which makes the argument for athletes to "shut up and play" ridiculous. I recommend people read the work of Dave Zirin, who is an expert on the intersections of race and sports. Athletes are people and they have points of views too. Fans are upset because their entertainment is disrupted by someone kneeling. People make up reasons like "it's unpatriotic or not the right time or place". But the U.S. was built on protest, and protest is a key aspect of our democracy. I guarantee most people have no idea why some athletes protest, they only know that they hate it.
Historically, are there any protests that can be connected to these?
Some early protests were about women and people of color being denied access to sports. Their bodies were tools of protest. Sports have always been a major platform to get a point across. Millions of people see Tommy Smith and John Carlos raise their fists in defiance of racial segregation. It becomes embarrassing to many U.S. citizens who believe nothing is wrong. Muhammad Ali protesting the Vietnam War, even willing to give up his title. Bill Russell and other Black Boston Celtics in 1961 boycotted a game in Kentucky because they were denied service. Officials tried to tackle Katherine Switzer for running in the Boston Marathon.
Do you know of any similar protests that have occurred on college campuses?
I'm not sure of any specific. But college campuses around the world have always been the hub for protest. From sit-ins boycotting administrative policies to protesting wars to critiquing higher tuition costs. You have Take Back the Night rallies against sexual violence and there are marches for racial equality. The energy of the 18 to 21-year-old college student, who has been enlightened with a new worldview, is a powerful force.

Home » World News » Grammy Awards Officially Postponed
06/01/2022 World News
UPDATED: As expected, the Grammy Awards have been postponed due to coronavirus-related concerns, an Academy spokesperson has confirmed to Variety. No new date has been confirmed as of yet.
While the 2022 show had been moving full speed ahead to take place on Jan. 31 before a full audience at its traditional venue, the Crypto.com Arena (formerly known as the Staples Center) in downtown Los Angeles, the recent Covid-19 surge has caused the postponement or cancellation of multiple events across the country. Sources tell Variety that even though the Crypto.com Arena has a basketball or hockey game or a concert booked nearly every night until mid-April, enough artists and executives voiced reluctance about appearing to convince the Academy to postpone the show.
Sources close to the situation also tell Variety that the show will probably move to April or May, which would seem to rule out holding it at the Crypto.com Arena. The Grammys traditionally require a 10-day-plus lockout of the venue in which they are held, and according to the Crypto.com Arena's schedule, another such opening will not be available at that venue until June or even later, although a scaled-down show is a possibility. The sources added that a rumored move to the Hollywood Bowl also seems unlikely for logistical reasons; holding the event in a different major city — such as Las Vegas, where the Latin Grammys have been held six of the last eight years, including last November — is also a possibility.
A joint statement from the Recording Academy and its television partner, CBS, issued on Wednesday reads: "After careful consideration and analysis with city and state officials, health and safety experts, the artist community and our many partners, the Recording Academy and CBS have postponed the 64th annual Grammy Awards show. The health and safety of those in our music community, the live audience and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly to produce our show remains our top priority. Given the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31st simply contains too many risks. We look forward to celebrating Music's Biggest Night on a future date, which will be announced soon."
Grammy Week events, such as the MusiCares Person of the Year concert, honoring Joni Mitchell, are likely to move to the week before the new date as well, along with other events around the show. The Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala, feting Sony Music chief Rob Stringer, plans to move to the night before the rescheduled Grammy ceremony, a rep for the show tells Variety.
"The Daily Show's" Trevor Noah is still scheduled to return as Grammy host this year.
Last year's show — which ironically was also scheduled for Jan. 31 — was moved up six weeks to March 14, after a holiday-season virus spike in Southern California. Ultimately, the 2021 Grammys took place in a scaled-down, tasteful setting at the Los Angeles Convention Center before small, rotating groups of nominees that changed every 45 minutes. It featured a combination of live and pre-recorded performances from Taylor Swift, BTS, Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, Silk Sonic, Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B and more, and received largely positive reviews. Most Grammy Week events were canceled, although MusiCares presented a scaled-down virtual show and the Clive party took place in two, five-hour-long installments, with the legendary executive interviewing such luminaries as Mitchell and Bruce Springsteen while showing classic clips of his favorite live performances across the decades.
Sources tell Variety that the Academy and CBS are hoping for a full show with a live audience; the Grammys generate millions of dollars in revenue, and obviously drew in just a fraction of a normal year's amount in 2021.
The 2022 Grammy nominee list is led by Jon Batiste with 11 nods, followed by Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and H.E.R. with eight apiece. Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo followed with seven nominations each. The show will be hosted for a second consecutive year by "Daily Show" host Trevor Noah.
Jesse Collins, Raj Kapoor and Ben Winston will serve as executive producers, with Kapoor taking over for Winston this year as showrunner. Jeannae Rouzan Clay joins the team as co-executive producer. Hamish Hamilton will return as director.
Variety will have more on the situation as it develops.

About The 2011 Commission
The Commission on Reapportionment was established by the Ulster County Charter to create 23 single member districts for the Ulster County Legislature using 2010 census data. Below is the section of the Ulster County Charter that discusses the Commission.
Final Report, June 15, 2011
To see the final, approved version of the Commission's Redistricting Plan, Click Here
C-10. Commission on Reapportionment.
A. A Commission on Reapportionment shall be established as soon as practicable after the availability of data from the census of 2010 to create 23 single-member districts for the Ulster County Legislature and thereafter to meet and evaluate existing legislative districts no later than 60 days after the necessary census data becomes available from the decennial federal census and reapportion them as necessary to meet established standards in state and federal law for equal and fair representation of all people in Ulster County, keeping districts compact and contiguous while taking also into account existing town, city, village and election district boundaries and defining geographic features but giving no consideration to providing advantage to one or another political party. This Commission shall consist of seven members who are County residents, are eligible to register to vote and are not public officers or employees.
B. To establish a pool from which members will be appointed, no later than three months prior to the anticipated first meeting of the Commission on Reapportionment, the County Executive shall widely solicit interest in serving on the Commission through such means as direct mail and e-mail contact with civic groups, public service announcements on radio and television and in daily and weekly newspapers, paid advertisement and announcement on the County website.
C. Initial appointments to the Commission on Reapportionment from the pool of interested parties gathered in this manner shall represent various geographic areas of the County and shall be made no later than 60 days after the census data becomes available, with two members appointed by the Legislature's majority leader and two members by the Legislature's minority leader.
D. These four appointed Commissioners shall select the additional three Commission members from the pool previously established no later than 70 days after the census data becomes available. In the event that the additional three Commission members are not appointed by the prescribed deadline, the appointment of the initial four members will no longer have force and effect and these members will no longer be eligible to serve on the Commission on Reapportionment. The majority and minority leaders will make alternative appointments in the manner prescribed in this section, and the four newly appointed members will appoint three additional members so as to allow the Commission to convene no later than six months after the census data becomes available.
E. The Commission will reapportion in accordance with a process that allows timely inputfrom the County Legislature and its members and the maximum of public participation and comment, and in accord with a calendar it adopts for itself after consideration of New York State Election Law that assures that elections in newly apportioned districts will be held in the year ending in "1" in every decade.
The Ulster County Administrative Code states that the Commission is "to meet and evaluate existing legislative districts no later than 60 days after the necessary census data becomes available from the decennial federal census and reapportion (the districts) as necessary to meet established standards in state and federal law for equal and fair representation of all people in Ulster County, keeping districts compact and contiguous while taking also into account existing town, city, village and election district boundaries and defining geographic features but giving no consideration to providing advantage to one or another political party."
The Ulster County Commission on Reapportionment has adopted these principals to successfully complete their task:
An accurate and complete count in Census 2010 is an essential building block for all redistricting efforts.
The process used for redistricting must be transparent to the public.
The redistricting process, at all levels of government, must provide data, tools and opportunities for the public to have direct input into the specific plans under consideration by the redistricting body.
In order to achieve representative democracy, redistricting plans must be drawn in a manner that allows elected bodies to reflect the diversity of the populace, with consideration of racial and ethnic diversity.
This website was developed to keep the public apprised of our activities and includes meeting agendas, minutes and video.
Our goal is to work within a transparent process, to provide opportunities for the public to have direct input into the process and to develop districts that reflect the diversity of the population of Ulster County with consideration of race and ethnicity.

News — Gay Mike Pence Look-Alike Raises Money For LGBTQ Causes
by John Haltiwanger
Glen Pannell, a gay man who looks like Mike Pence's long-lost twin, is meandering around New York in short shorts and collecting money for organizations championing progressive causes.
This is pretty amazing, given Pence frequently exhibits laser-like homophobia, and now a guy who looks like him is out there spreading the love (because love is love).
Pannell calls himself "Mike Hot-Pence" (you can follow him on Twitter at @MikeHotPence), and if you happen to be in Times Square in the near future, you might seem him out there collecting money.
Pannell has collected money for Planned Parenthood and the Natural Resources Defense Council, so he's also deeply concerned about women's health (and reproductive rights) and the environment.
Donald Trump is quickly filling his cabinet with individuals who are anti-abortion and climate change deniers, so it's understandable why Pannell is also focusing on these issues.
This weekend, Pannell will collect money for The Trevor Project.
Speaking with The Huffington Post, Pannell said,
[The Trevor Project] is really close to my heart because I was a questioning teen 35 years ago growing up on Long Island before I finally came out as a gay man in my early 20s. LGBTQ young people will need our full support over the next few years given Mike Pence's record in office. So much of what he's done in the last 16 years has divided and excluded ― not united.
Hesherman.com
Pannell apparently first dressed as "Mike Hot-Pence" this past Halloween, and decided to put his appearance to good use after the election when he was feeling somewhat downtrodden about the state of the country.
He told The Huffington Post,
I want to raise dollars and I want to raise awareness. And maybe offer some hope too. Isn't it nice to imagine a bizarre through-the-looking-glass alternate reality where there's a Mike Pence who champions women's health and LGBTQ rights and the environment? Well that's me!
Thank you, Glen Pannell.
Heroes don't always wear capes. Sometimes they have an uncanny resemblance to Mike Pence and rock the shortest of shorts.
With that said, it's getting pretty cold out there -- let's hope Pannell is finding a way to stay warm!

THE BENTLEY MOTORS CAMPUS – LAYING FOUNDATIONS BEYOND100
Bentley creates a single-site campus; evolving its carbon neutral headquarters to prepare for an electrified future
A parade of Bentleys, young and old, has marked the official opening of the campus by driving down the iconic Pyms Lane
New Engineering Test Facility and R&D buildings near completion as part of focused, strategic investment plan
Continued site development will play a key role in Bentley achieving its objective of becoming the leader in sustainable luxury mobility
Bentley Motors has celebrated the official opening of its new campus – with the company's entire industry-leading facilities now encompassed within a single site in Crewe, England. A convoy of Bentley cars marked the occasion as the 1929 4½-litre supercharged Team Car, the Blower Continuation Series 'Car Zero' and a range of current generation Bentleys paraded down Pyms Lane.
The creation of the campus, home to around 4,000 Bentley colleagues, follows years of planning, consultation and positive support from Cheshire East Council.
Pyms Lane and Sunnybank Road, two roads which previously traversed through Bentley's headquarters, are closed to the public and enable a safer, more efficient and secure modern manufacturing facility which can develop and expand in line with Bentley's long-term aspirations.
Commenting on Bentley's investment and continued commitment to Crewe, Peter Bosch, Member of the Board for Manufacturing, said:
"Bentley is in a period of significant and rapid redefinition; transforming a 101-year-old luxury car company into a new, sustainable, wholly ethical role model. We are accelerating our path to electrification and end-to-end carbon neutrality, and we can only achieve these ambitions through world-class facilities that elevate our status as the leader in sustainable luxury mobility.
"The creation of a campus, our continued, sustained investment in new R&D buildings, and the opportunities that now exist as part of a single site all give us the capacity to grow as we diversify our model range and look to evolve every aspect of our organisation for the future."
Pyms Lane has remained the focal point for Bentley's headquarters in Crewe since the company arrived in 1938. This will only increase with Bentley's plans to develop that area of the site next year, with the opening of an Engineering Test Centre and R&D building – both of which will further support Bentley's journey towards electrification.
This was outlined as part of Bentley's November Beyond100 strategic announcement which committed to offer truly sustainable luxury, reinventing every aspect of its business to become an end-to-end carbon neutral organisation as it embarks on its second century.
This includes switching its model range to offer exclusively plug-in hybrid or battery electric vehicles by 2026, and full electric vehicles only by 2030.
Bentley is not just investing heavily in its future product direction, however. The campus creation is an extension of two decades of forward thinking, innovation and achievement. Acutely aware of the responsibility to consider its environmental, social and economic impact, Bentley has transformed its 80-year-old headquarters into the UK's single carbon neutral luxury car factory.

Aquila is a late-summer constellation featuring an Eagle, although the asterism isn't particularly aquiline. In fact what you see below is a variation of others' interpretations, which have alpha as part of the Eagle's wing rather than the head of the eagle, as I have chosen.
Altair, alpha Aquilae, is one of the signposts in this region of the skies, forming what is known as The Summer Triangle with Vega (alpha Lyrae) and Deneb (alpha Cygni).
The constellation has two binaries, one with contrasting colours, and two variables worth investigating.

My Japanese Candy Box Review and Contest!
I'm doing some consulting work for a subscription box company and in my research stumbled upon a website for all kinds of subscription boxes. This one caught my attention. It's called japancandybox.com and you guessed it, every month based on the subscription plan you choose - they'll send you a super cool box filled with interesting, delicious and unique Japanese treats. Each box has 8-10 different candies or snacks and it's FREE SHIPPING. They run about $20 a box (unless you opt for 6 months or more and then it's discounted) but the value is definitely more than that. I'm hooked.
It was so fun getting my box and opening it with my kids. Can you imagine their excitement when I told them we HAD to try each of the candies and they had to tell me what they thought of each one? Let me show you what we found inside. SO FUN!
Maggie and her friend Emma after we opening the box!
Kracie Popin Cooking Ramen DIY Kit - The coolest thing ever. We made ramen out of a kit and it all tasted like candy - gummy, sweet, lemony gooey candy. Not super edible but really fun to make. And yes, that is a tiny tiny bowl of ramen with fake egg and kamaboko on top and yes, those are mini dumplings filled with a sugar confetti candy bits. Delicious and kind of serendipitous given I wrote a book on ramen!
Bourbon Fettucine Peach Gummies - Our favorite. Sour, tangy, sugary peachy, just delicious and shaped like fettucine noodles. Those Japanese, so creative!
Shin Chan Ramune Candies - You know the Japanese soda in a glass bottle with the marble on top that you can't get out? So these taste like little ramune jawbreakers. Funny packaging with a boy pulling his pants down from behind. Those Japanese, so crazy!
Coris Shari To Puru Gum - Packed with flavor, tart apple flavored gum with a jelly filling. My personal favorite because of the delicious apple flavor.
Meiji Wata Pachi Ramune Gum - Tasted like ramune soda flavored fizzy cotton candy. Unique and not like any gum we've had before - it fizzed in your mouth and slowly turned into gum - weird but good!
Doraemon Green Tea Chocolate - Cute Japanese Anime character Doraemon with strong green tea and chocolate flavor encased in a light crispy wafer. A bit dry but very flavorful.
GyoGyoGyo Taste Changing Gum -Cool because you could break apart different flavors in little segments and combine them to make combined flavors.
Tohato Yokai Watch Caramel Corn - Butterscotch caramel corn, crunchy and sweet - as if Pirate Booty and Caramel Corn had a baby.
Tohato Kotsubu Breano Pea Snacks - Pea flavored, crunchy a little lacking in flavor but seemed pretty healthy. Reminded us of those snap pea crisps.
Glico Calpico Mini Ice Cream Snack - A sweet chocolate filling inside a light and sweet wafer. Simple but yum.
Ryan and Ellie were beyond thrilled when they came home to a tasting table of Japanese treats. And all of this BEFORE dinner...made their day!
Ellie said, "This is awesome!"
Japancandybox.com also gave me a contest to run for one of you lucky peeps to win a free box of candy so enter now for a chance to WIN!


Developers Guilherme Rambo and Stephen Troughton-Smith have been exploring macOS and have found 'Hey Siri' functionality in the code base with support for multiple user accounts.
If the reports are correct, it looks as though the ARM co-processor takes over the boot process, security, and the FaceTime camera. It also appears that it will allow the iMac Pro to accept the voice command 'Hey Siri' rather than requiring the click in macOS on the Siri icon or keystroke to prompt Siri.
Even though the discovery shows support for multiple user accounts, it doesn't mean that Siri will understand multiple users speaking while logged into one account. At least for the first iteration, if a user has multiple accounts on a Mac, they should be able to fast user switch between them and have the iMac Pro recognize 'Hey Siri' for each of them.
Would you like to see always-on support for Siri on the iMac Pro? Let us know in the comments below!


The first of our Grand Sextiles is still more than two weeks away. And there is plenty of interesting Astrology in the mean time.
Readers have been asking me what these Grand Sextiles mean. Clients have been asking for Transit Charts with them. Both configurations (7/29/13 and 8/26/13) include nearly every planet and touch more than half of the signs. That's a lot of data to interpret. Even the geometry is tough because there's so much of it.
Today, I am going to touch on a few of the building blocks. I am going to focus on some astrology that is in between now and 7/29, but specifically those pieces that contribute to the Grand Sextile.
Mars ingresses Cancer early tomorrow morning (CDT). Why is this important? Because, in my opinion, the central axis of the Grand Sextile on 7/29 is the Mars–Pluto opposition. More on that in a second.
Mars in Cancer has significant meaning to me personally. My progressed Mars is in Cancer and has been for a while. In fact, it will be for the greater part of the rest of my life.
Mars is said to be in fall in Cancer. In other words, he is weak. The most dramatic way to look at it is to say that Mars is emasculated by the femininity of Cancer. I say this because in my most frustrated moments, I've felt this way. My emotions overpowered my drive. A seemingly small bit of pain rendered me lame.
The Universe served me by placing a number of people with Natal Mars in Cancer in front of me – men no less. I wanted to see the Perfection of this aspect, not simply the challenge.
I now understand much better. Mars, in Cancer, must retain his own heart connection to maintain his drive. He can't just pillage and purge. He must act based on the desire in his heart. A person with Mars in Cancer can be formidable when following his cherished desires.
Mars joins Jupiter on 7/22/13. One week before the Grand Sextile. This is huge!
Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. His is happily splashing the nurturing water all over his big body. He is frolicking. It does bring a tear to the eye. I can tell you I have been crying often these days. Songs, animals, art, and words touch me. My armor is definitely off.
As Mars passes Jupiter, he is going to pick up his vibe. He's going to laugh some, cry some, and get in touch with his emotions. This is good! He's going to need it, because of what happens five days later.
Mars makes an exact opposition to Pluto on 7/27/13, less than 48 hours before the Grand Sextile. Mars and Pluto aspecting often means war. The different configurations say how big and how bloody it will be. The signs tell us who has the advantage.
For Mars to take on Pluto in Capricorn (with Saturn in Scorpio assisting him), he will have to fight from the heart. He will have to find and use what is dear to him.
I can't help but think of a man who, in his heart, truly believes that women deserve to choose for themselves their own fate. Men need to stay out of the discussion.
I want to take you back to July 1st, the day the sun in Cancer opposed Pluto in Capricorn. On that day, a number of women, men, and children stood on the steps of the Capitol building in Austin, Texas to state their case. There couldn't have been a better day to do this.
On 7/22/13, the vibe will be different, but similar. The sun is more about presence and visibility. Mars is more about action. Standing for something will not be enough on that day.
One last piece I'll cover for this post. On 7/20/13, Mercury will station at 13 degrees Cancer 22 min. On that day, Uranus will sit at 12 degrees Aries 31 min. They will be less than one degree from an exact square.
Mercury's retrograde period has something to add to the argument (any Mars-Pluto argument). He is not going to deliver his findings directly to Mars (or Jupiter), but he is going to drop it in the vicinity.
And don't forget that Uranus is in Mars' ruling sign. So although Mars will exactly square Uranus (on 7/31/13) days after exactly opposing Pluto, I have a feeling he'll do just fine.
And don't forget to check out our book Promotion!
I do agree with you that the current political debate over House Bill 1 is a perfect manifestation of the current transits. I noted this myself a few weeks ago. If you look back in history to the 1910s-1920s to when women's rights were also at the forefront of political debates, you will find an amazing coincidence! Particularly, look in 1925…. Pluto was in Cancer and Jupiter was in Capricorn! And they formed a Kite! Saturn was even in Scorpio (as it is now) and, instead of Neptune in Pisces, it was Uranus! But, three of the four planets forming the kite that we saw on July 1st, were in the exact same formation and in the same signs: Cancer/Capricorn and Pisces/Scorpio.
Juliet – first and foremost, I LOVE your comments! You teach me and keep me honest. And so does the Universe. After I published my post today, and before receiving your comment, the Universe said this to me: "Pluto opposite Mars is a pillar of Power." They meant it in a positive way.

Fiera Sceptre to buy National Bank of Canada money management unit
Fiera Sceptre, a Montreal-based money manager, agreed to buy Natcan Investment Management from National Bank of Canada for C$309.5 million ($308.4 million) in cash and stock to increase assets under management.
Fiera will pay C$235 million when the deal is completed and another C$74.5 million "over time," the company said Monday in a statement. National Bank will hold a 35% stake in the unit.
Fiera said the purchase from Canada's sixth-largest bank will bring its assets to about C$54 billion and make it one of the five largest independent money managers in Canada. National Bank said the transaction will be "neutral" to its earnings.

A 'Mania MVP is a person, wrestler or somebody else involved in the events that played a truly vital role in that particular 'Mania.
'Mania 1 MVP: Vince McMahon
A lot of people believe that when Vince McMahon took over the WWE (then WWF) from his father, it was handed down to him in an inheritance-like fashion. That was not the case as Vince took out a huge loan from a bank to pay his father and a short time after 'Mania 1, a balloon payment was coming due. Vince knew that if 'Mania 1 failed, the WWE would die and most likely, the wrestling landscape would be very different that it is now. Vince knew he had to do something special, so he created Wrestlemania, and we know how this story ends. As 'Mania 1 became a huge success and over 30 years later, it is the biggest wrestling event of the year.
'Mania 2 MVP: The Production Crew
This may seem like an odd choice to you, but you have to remember that 'Mania 2 took place in three different locations. Those three locations were Albany (New York), Rosemont (Illinois) and Los Angeles (California). That means that there were three of everything for the WWE production crew to handle, from three different commentary teams to three different camera crews to three different groups of backstage helpers to everything in between. Also, when you consider just how much technology has changed from then to the present, it makes what that production crew did look even more impressive.
'Mania 3 MVP: "Rowdy" Roddy Piper
There were a lot of great moments that happened at 'Mania 3, but there is an interesting story that a lot of people don't know about that happened at the show. Roddy Piper was wrestling "Adorable" Adrian Adonis at the show, it was set to be Piper's actual retirement from pro wrestling. Until his match, every wrestler would be brought to the ring in the carts that were designed like miniature wrestling rings. Piper decided to bask in the glory of the fans and he simply walked to the ring, something that was only supposed to happen to WWE Champion Hulk Hogan. After his match concluded, an irate Hogan and Vince McMahon questioned Piper about why he broke the edict of walking to the ring. Piper, in classic Piper fashion, would tell them "what are you going to do…fire me?" Remember, 'Mania 3 was his retirement match.
'Mania 4 MVP: "Macho Man" Randy Savage
'Mania 4 was an exceptionally long show, as a 14 man tournament was being held that night to crown a brand new WWE Champion. Of the 14 wrestlers who took part in that tournament, only one wrestler actually fought in every round and that was Randy Savage. This was a star making night for Savage, who would win his first WWE Championship by virtue of winning the tournament. The four wrestlers that Savage defeated in the tournament were Butch Reed, Greg Valentine, The One Man Gang and Ted Dibiase. Another interesting thing to note is that Savage and his manager Miss Elizabeth would change their wardrobes for each match in the tournament.
'Mania 5 MVP: Donald Trump
We are putting the politics aside for a minute here because if it wasn't for a meeting between Donald Trump and Vince McMahon, every wrestling fan who attends 'Mania would be missing out on one key aspect of the weekend. During 'Mania 4 and 'Mania 5, Trump wanted something for the families who attended 'Mania to do other than just attend the event and leave. Following a brainstorming session with Vince, the duo came up with two events in a 5K Charity Run and a brunch with WWE stars. That may not seem like much to you now when you think about it, but it would become the precursor to what we call WWE Axxess. All of those attractions, autograph signings and other stuff that takes place the weekend of 'Mania actually started at 'Mania 4 and it began thanks to a meeting between two extremely rich gentleman.
'Mania 6 MVP: The Ticket Takers
This one may be a mind boggling choice to you as well, but wait to you here the story behind this jewel from our friends in Canada. 'Mania 6 was the first 'Mania held outside of the United States, taking place at the Sky Dome in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The company that ran the Sky Dome didn't want the WWE to use their box offices for the fans to get their tickets and get into the building (reasons behind this are unknown). So the WWE had to not only hire their own ticket takers and sellers, but they had to create their own makeshift box offices to get the fans into the arena. Just to put this into perspective, a total of 67,678 fans attended that show and each one of them had to go through the makeshift box office created by the WWE.
'Mania 7 MVP: Fake But Real Terrorist
If you watched the 'Mania 6 broadcast on pay-per-view, you would've seen the announcement that 'Mania 7 was to take place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. However, a year later, 'Mania 7 would not be taken place at the coliseum, but instead at the much smaller Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. The "official" WWE story is that due to terrorist threats arising from the ongoing war in Iraq, they would move the event to a different location. In reality, the main event between WWE Champion Sgt. Slaughter (in his Iraqi sympathizer iteration) and Hulk Hogan didn't sell as many tickets as the WWE had hoped. In response to this, the WWE would move the show to a smaller arena and blame the situation on a real war, but with fake terrorist threats.
'Mania 8 MVP: The Disappearing Nude Photos
'Mania 8 had plenty of great matches on the card with Bret Hart vs. Roddy Piper, Randy Savage vs. Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels vs. Tito Santana. However, it was an alleged affair between Savage's manager Miss Elizabeth and Flair that was the main storyline heading into the show (Other than the fake retirement of Hulk Hogan). In interviews preceding the event, Flair promised to show nude photos of Elizabeth on the big screens of the Hoosier Dome, even bringing some of the photos with him during an interview with Gene Okerlund at 'Mania 8. While the match between Savage and Flair was a good one, the supposed photos never saw the light of day. In fact, once the match ended, the photos would never be brought up again, even though the feud between Flair and Savage would continue for many months to come.

I know I'm going to get hammered by the nutrition police for advocating eating pound cake for brunch, but really, when you think about it, what's the difference between eating pound cake and eating pancakes or French toast or cereal?
And this pound cake, adapted from a recipe in the current issue of Saveur by James Villas, is so light and moist it's better than many pancakes I have eaten. I am telling you, a slice of this pound cake with a glass of milk makes for a mighty satisfying breakfast or brunch. And if you want to round your meal off with a little bit of protein, drape two slices of bacon on top of each slice of pound cake. Now that's good.
Note: Villas is by his own admission a pound cake fanatic. As a result, this recipe may seem a little obsessional and overly precise. But if you follow the directions to the letter, you'll be amply rewarded with the finished product—a perfectly golden brown and ridiculously delicious pound cake.
Using a sieve set over a bowl, sift together remaining flour, baking powder, and salt. Repeat twice more. In a measuring vessel with a pourable spout, combine milk and the lemon and vanilla extracts. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter at medium-low speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, and beat until satiny smooth, about 3 minutes.
Add 1 egg at a time to the butter mixture, beating 15 seconds before adding another, and scraping down the bowl after each addition. Reduce mixer speed to low and alternately add the flour and milk mixtures in 3 batches, beginning and ending with the flour. Scrape down sides of bowl; beat just until batter is smooth and silky but no more.
Scrape batter into prepared pan and firmly tap on a counter to allow batter to settle evenly. Bake until light golden and a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out moist but clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cake cool in pan on a rack for 30 minutes. Invert cake onto rack; let cool completely before serving.

Q: Windows Firewall is blocking Windows Update I recently uninstalled ZoneAlarm and have decided to use Windows Firewall as my firewall as ZoneAlarm was causing me grief when I was syncing my iphone.
Anyway, I've noticed just then that Windows Firewall seems to block my Windows updates.
Whenever I have the firewall on, I get a 8024402C error when I try to update, and it seems to update fine when I don't have the firewall on.
there is a help page for this error
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_update/8024402c-error/760ba53f-2cb1-48be-a77f-61bf445fddde
but it seems to assume that the firewall I have is third party, I'm not sure how to fix it if Windows Firewall itself is the firewall that is blocking the automatic updates.

A: I've found solution.
I found it here.
Essentially I added a new incoming rule which allowed all connections coming from c:\windows\System32\svchost.exe.
I wonder why my default settings didn't already have this? Anyway it worked!

A: In Win 8 Go to Control Panel>Firewall>Advanced Settings. Then click Action>Export policy to make a copy of your current policy in case you want to restore it. Then click Action>New Rule>Custom>Next in the Program step of New Outbound Rule Wizard under the Service heading select Customize>Apply to this service>Windows Update>OK
Optional: Program: select "this program path" and select the program c:\windows\System32\svchost.exe press ok
Optional: Protocol and Ports: specify tcp port 443
Allow this connection; select your profile or leave as is (it should be explained in the wizard pretty well); give it a name; finish

A: Go to Control Panel>Firewall>Advanced Settings. Then click Action>Export policy to make a copy of your current policy in case you want to restore it. Then click Action>Restore Default Policy.
If it really is just the Firewall, this should allow you to use Windows Update.

A: Open Command Prompt as administrator and type the following commands, one by one (press ENTER after each command):
 - netsh winhttp reset proxy
 - net stop wuauserv
 - net start wuauserv

Try to install the updates again.
Source: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900936

A: Here is how to change firewall settings in Windows 7, you can watch the video to learn the steps ;
Allow a program to communicate through Windows Firewall
By default, most programs are blocked by Windows Firewall to help make your computer more secure. To work properly, some programs might require you to allow them to communicate through the firewall.
Watch this video to learn how to allow a program to communicate through Windows Firewall (1:12)
Open Windows Firewall by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall, and then click Windows Firewall.

In the left pane, click Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall.
Click Change settings. Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Select the check box next to the program you want to allow, select the network locations you want to allow communication on, and then click OK.
Warning
Before allowing a program through the firewall, make sure you understand the risks involved. For more information, see What are the risks of allowing programs through a firewall?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Allow-a-program-to-communicate-through-Windows-Firewall

A: In Windows 8 and 10, allowing the Windows Update service through the firewall is not enough. It appears to be because it uses a thread pool, but the security context is not correctly set on those threads, so they are not recognised by the firewall as being from Windows Update. (Link)
The solution that works for me was partially suggested by Uwe Bubeck on the Technet forums (Link):

*

*Create a link to svchost.exe, for example mysvchost.exe, by using the command mklink /H mysvchost.exe svchost.exe. To do this, you will need permissions on svchost.exe.

*Allow mysvchost through the firewall.

*Change the ImagePath for the Windows Update service in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv from svchost to mysvchost.

*Restart Windows Update to apply the change.
You can now find updates, but they will not download.

*Add an exception for TCP/80 on svchost.exe (i.e. all services). Updates can now be downloaded.

Before allowing all services TCP port 80, I tried adding an exception for TrustedInstaller, moving BITS (background transfer) to mysvchost, and some other services suggested by others such as cryptographic services. In the end, I couldn't find which service is responsible for downloading the updates, so I had to add an exception for all services. Downloading updates now works. If someone figures out the minimal set of changes, rather than a large whitelist for all services, please edit this answer (and maybe also post it to the technet threads).

Cryoglobulinemia
Medications Used to Treat Cryoglobulinemia
You are here: Home / Cryoglobulinemia / Medications Used to Treat Cryoglobulinemia
Yes, There Are Treatments For Cryoglobulinemia!
There is no standard treatment protocol. Treatments must be worked out with your medical specialist and vary greatly depending on symptoms, severity, organ involvement and other factors.
Treatments vary widely depending on other active diseases in the body. Treatment for people with cryoglobulinemia that have an associated disease usually focused on the associated disease. For example; the treatments for Cryoglobulinemia, if someone has multiple myeloma and cryo will likely focus on the myeloma first.
The vast majority of people who have cryoglobulinemia have it due to Hepatitis C (HCV). For those patients with HCV and cryoglobulinemia, treatment is focused on managing the HCV first, in most cases.
For people with cryoglobulinemia who do NOT have HCV, the treatment path varies radically for person to person.
Some cryo patients achieve prolonged periods of remission through the use of medications. During these periods the signs or symptoms of the disease are absent.
In the case of Essential Mixed Cryoglobulinemia, remission periods may be obtain.
Deciding to take immune-suppressing drugs is a hard decision to be discussed with your doctor.
ed through the use of DMARDs, immune-suppressing drugs, monoclonal antibody therapy and/or a variety of chemotherapy drugs.
Plasmapheresis has also been used in conjunction with drugs to improve symptoms.
How Do I Decide if I Need Immune Suppression?
That said it comes down to risk management; a cost benefit analysis of disease versus side effects of medicines.
It is all about risk management. For a more serious situation, a bigger risk may be warranted in order to gain more effectiveness.
The doctor has to make this kind if decision… and so do you, the patient.
For example, using cyclophosphamide with prednisone to force remission in a case of cryo is not unusual. Once remission is established, one can transition to something like Imuran, methotrexate, or CellCept.
Often a patient might not tolerate one of the medications very well, forcing a change to another.
Some get along with Imuran very well, so it is a good choice and has less risk than staying on cyclophosphamide.
Also, Imuran is a reasonably safe drug to stay on if you have to take it long-term. So it really boils down to risk management vs effectiveness and having a list of possible options.
Plaquenil is not a heavy hitter like the above immunosuppressants are, but it is a lot safer and has fewer side effects, so if it works for you, it works…. and that is a good thing.
If you need to take the medication, you take it.
What are Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs?
Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARD's)
If you are being treated for cryo, chances are that you are on one of the drugs that I have listed here or are considering them as options with your doctor.
DMARDs are a class of drugs commonly used to treat a variety of autoimmune disorders.
Some were developed primarily for the treatment of cancer, malaria, or for preventing organ rejection in transplant patients.
DMARDs are sometimes referred to as "steroid-sparing" drugs because they often allow greater overall effectiveness at maintaining remission of autoimmune disorders when used in combination with low dose prednisone. In some cases, more than one DMARD may be used in combination.
Each DMARD is a bit different from the others, effectiveness varies from one condition to the next and the side effect profiles are also highly variable.
Some DMARDs have a greater risk of potentially dangerous conditions and the patient must be monitored continuously for their safety.
What are kinds of DMARDS
Below, are listed some common DMARDs in order of their basic action on the body, this list is not complete and you will want to search the internet and find further information on your favorite DMARD with regard to risks, safety, drug interactions, and side effects. The following drugs include the antimalarial agents, are frequently slow to take effect and some have significant long-term side effects.
gold (rarely used) Sometimes effective for rheumatoid arthritis). This treatment has been around since the Victorian era! It is not well understood and tends to cause increasingly severe side effects over time.
hydrochloroquine (Plaquenil) An anti-malaral agent. Often used in combination with steroids, commonly used to treat Lupus.
methotrexate commonly used for a variety of autoimmune disorders and may be used in combination with other DMARDs
sulfasalazine Often used to treat Chron's disease, may be used with other DMARDs.
cyclosporine Developed to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients. This drug may have serious long-term safety issues. It is sometimes used in cases where nothing else works.
The following drugs are the immunosuppressants. They can be slow to take effect and carry a risk from infection due to suppression of the immune system. Side effects vary, some are not so bad, but others have *significant* risks and side effects and the patient must be closely monitored.
cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) Commonly used in oral and IV form, frequently used in combination with prednisone to force remission. Has a relatively big risk and side effect profile. This is generally viewed as a serious "big gun" that suppresses the immune system deeply.
Imuran (Azathioprine) Commonly used to maintain remission after remission is established. Commonly used with low dose prednisone.Less risk and fewer side effects than Cytoxan. Slower to take effect than Cytoxan. Does not suppress the immune system as deeply as Cytoxan.Imuran carries a small, but real risk of causing the immune system to die off rather quickly, so your blood counts must be monitored carefully. Low white blood cells and low producing neutrophils are a risk.
leflunomide Sometimes used alone, but may be used with another DMARD, or a biological agent.
mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept) Originally developed to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients. Often used in combination with other DMARD's, and more recently used in combination with biological DMARD.
Biological Agents (so-called bDMARDs)
Tumor Necrotic Factor (TNF) Inhibitors
including etanercept, adalimumab, infliximab, certolizumab pegol, and golimumab,
Specific Biological Agents with specific targets (also called Monoclonal Antibody Therapy = MAB)
These drugs are basically designer antibodies that have very specific targets.
For example: rituximab (rituxin) targets B cells specifically.
including anakinra, abatacept , rituximab, tocilizumab, and tofacitinib. These medications are often combined with methotrexate or other DMARDs to improve efficacy.

Monoclonal Antibody Therapies: These are also Biological Agents but with different targets
Rituximab is quickly becoming a standard 'go-to' treatment for severe chronic cryoglobulinemia.
Antimalarial Agents. The following drugs include the antimalarial agents, are frequently slow to take effect and some have significant long-term side effects.
methotrexate commonly used for a variety of autoimmune disorders and may be used in cmbination with other DMARDs
cyclosporine Developed to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients. This drug may have serious long term safety issues. It is sometimes used in cases where nothing else works.

MNfusion: The Wedge Sets A Place For Everyone At The Table
Filed Under:Co-Op, Curiocity, Eat Street, Gardens of Eagan, Katie Fraser, Minneapolis Jessica Pierce, MNfusion, Organic, The Wedge, The Wedge Market And Cafe, The Wedge Table
A long-time staple of the Whittier neighborhood recently opened a new location along Minneapolis' Eat Street.
The Wedge Table opened their doors, and pulled out a chair, for the Nicollet neighborhood on Jan. 26.
The new space includes not only a market where shoppers can purchase their produce and other groceries, but a full-scale café area complete with coffee and bar.
The Wedge Community Foods opened in Minneapolis in November of 1974. The first location was in a basement apartment along Franklin Avenue. It soon outgrew its Franklin location and moved to a convenience storefront on Lyndale Avenue. It made one more move to its final spot in 1992.
So, while this certainly isn't the first move for the 40-year-old co-op, it is the first time they have had two locations.
"We started off in a really small corner shop on Franklin and have slowly continued to grow. Right now we are currently at over 16,000 owners," Brand Marketing Director Jessica Pierce said.
The Lyndale location is still open and thriving, but for the first time the Wedge has been able to make their offerings more readily accessible to other neighborhoods, who are more than eager to accept them.
"The neighborhood is awesome and what we're seeing is there are a lot of people who have never even heard of the Wedge and they are like 'You're in my neighborhood now!' And they're super excited about that," Pierce said.
And why shouldn't they be?
The 15,500 square-foot space is expansive, inviting and offers up local, organic food to be prepared by you or to be readily enjoyed.
The new space doesn't have the bulk items that the Lyndale space offers, but still has isles full of products and a lush produce section.
And while many items on the menu have stayed the same, preparations have changed due to the new space.
"We're known for our burritos and one thing that we're doing new is we have our own tortilla maker," Pierce said. "We're actually making the tortillas homemade from scratch."
Pierce said this was a big win for the co-op because they are now able to ensure that they always are offering clean, organic tortillas.
The café is also working to explore more seasonal options. Pierce said to expect more salads during the summer and more seasonal offerings throughout the year.
"What you're going to see here is an ever evolving menu. Truly farm-to-table style," Pierce said. "That's to support our farmers but that's truly the way people eat."
When I asked what menu item was a must-try by Pierce's standards, she said, without hesitation, the Apple Beat Salad.
"It's just delicious. It's got a great dressing. We've got pieces of Herb Chevre in it and crostinis within it," Pierce said. "And I'd get a glass of wine, too."
And yes, their drinks are local and organic too!
The co-op café has all the same staples as any coffee house – smoothies, shakes, teas and juices. But all are made fresh using ingredients taken from the shelf of the market. Meaning customers could make the same recipe at home.
On my visit, I tried the Very Berry Smoothie. Made from apple juice, kefir, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries, it was a very refreshing. The raspberry offered a tartness that complimented the crisp apple flavor. The kefir cut a bit of the tart berry flavor and made for nice, light base. It was delicious.
Coffee lovers will be happy to learn the Wedge has partnered with Kickapoo Coffee, a company that supports the small business from farmers to roasters.
And for those who aren't impressed yet, they have kombucha on tap.
Aside from the fresh juices and smoothies, the Wedge also offers beer, wine and specialty cocktails. All from local sources.
"It was just a proud moment for the staff because there aren't any co-ops in the Twin Cities who have their liquor license. So for us it's a big deal to be able to have people come in, share a cocktail," Pierce said.
The Wedge first partnered with Minneapolis brewery, Bauhaus. They offer all four of their canned beers on tap. They then partnered with Du Nord Craft Spirits to create two specialty cocktails only available at The Wedge – the Fitzgerald Old Fashioned and the Back In Thyme.
The expansion is notable, not just for the second window front, but because they will be able to offer other services that they haven't had in the past. Pierce hopes these include catering and a lecture series.
"Really, sort of the purpose for us going through this expansion was to build our catering business," Pierce said.
Pierce said discussions have also revolved around how to revamp their class schedule. They hope their Nicollet location will attract more chefs so they can offer demos and teach people how to make meals. They also hope to engage the community in more discussion about food politics and food justice.
The Wedge has long been a space where people were able to find quality, local food and now, Pierce said, the Wedge hopes to be a place where people can come together over that food.
"For us, even the name 'The Table' was very, very intentional, that we are creating that space for people to come around the table," Pierce said. "It's really about bringing people together around food and local food."
The Wedge is located at 2412 Nicollet Avenue. They are open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. For more information on how to become an owner, visit The Wedge online.

Ukraine has pledged to promote access to public transport and buildings for people with disabilities under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Compliance with this in Kyiv is fair. On the one hand, sidewalks are wide and most hotels at the midrange and up have lifts. On the other hand, most buses, trolleybuses and street underpasses still lack wheelchair ramps. Some public buildings and museums are not fully accessible to people with disabilities – although, encouragingly, some are.

Improving ice core interpretation using in situ and reanalysis data
Back trajectory analysis, provided by the British Atmospheric Data Centre using meteorological parameters from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis ERA-40 (1980-2001) and operational analysis (2002-2006), is used to investigate transport pathways and source regions of climate proxies preserved in a new ice core (Gomez) from the southwestern Antarctic Peninsula. The ECMWF data are compared with automatic weather station data and ice core annual accumulation records to demonstrate that the ECMWF data capture a large proportion of the annual and subseasonal precipitation variability at the site. The back trajectories reveal that precipitation preserved in the ice core accumulation record, and hence climate proxies contained therein, originate from the low-pressure systems from the Bellingshausen Sea transported via circumpolar westerly winds. Hence, precipitation-dependent ice core proxies, such as isotopic composition, will be influenced by both localized sea ice extent and large-scale circulation changes, such as the Southern Annular Mode. Sea ice proxies from the ice core are expected to be dominated by sea ice extent in the Bellingshausen Sea but also influenced by sea ice in the Weddell Sea, with a small proportion of air mass trajectories originating from this region during the summer. Comparison with other ice core sites reveals a stronger influence of easterly transport at more northerly locations, thus explaining the observed differences in snow accumulation records between ice cores and the poor correlation with instrumental records at these sites.

Breaking Up Quotes
Top 10 Breaking Up Quotes
I'm very good at breaking up with people. Very good. It requires a lot of skill, but what you do is you tell them the truth of why you are breaking up with them, and after that, you somehow compensate with other things. If you have loved someone, I think that somehow they should always be a part of your life. I really do.
Life Good Truth You
It is in our genes that we think of breaking up when we love and of failure and fall when we succeed.

There were songs I would write about breaking up with somebody before I broke up with them, months and months before I broke up with them.
Up About Somebody Write
The habit of breaking up one's colour to make it brilliant dates from further back than Impressionism - Couture advocates it in a little book called 'Causeries d'Atelier' written about 1860 - it is part of the technique of Impressionism but used for quite a different reason.
Book Habit Back Reason
As far as the Animals breaking up - it was my fault. I wanted out. We took it to the max, as far as we could take it. Our reunion tour in 1983 went pretty good until we left America. Then we pushed it too hard and it fell apart.

When my parents were divorced in the late '70s, early '80s, the climate was that you should screw over your ex as much as possible - get the worst lawyer in the world, all that.

Q: richfaces 3.3.3 problem with ie6 I am working using richfaces 3.3.3 , tomcat 6. when i try to access my application using IE6 and the windows language is set to arabic, i get the following exception:
IllegalArgumentException: Parameter "size" for convert from HTML to java can not be decoded: [1px], reason: Unparseable number: "1px".
when i change the windows language back to english, restart the server and try to log in again everything works fine..
Can anybody please help me with this issue

A: You have this problem. Unfortunately it seems to be a bug in the NumberFormat class.

A: I managed to find a workaround: In your rich:tabPanel, add the attribute headerSpacing="1" (without any unit). This will solve the parser problem. Took me quite a while debugging jsf and jdk to find out...
One more thing you need to do: In your skin, set generalSizeFont to a value without a unit. I.e. for example "generalSizeFont=11". Otherwise you will get the exception for icons (they will still work, though).

Q: Generating core files on Ubuntu Recently I've been trying to enable core dumps on Ubuntu. I made a simple program, that would crash (it writes some data out of array).
At first, core dumps weren't generated. This was because ulimit was set to zero, so I run command: ulimit -c unlimited. This didn't help, because most of the core dumps land to apport. I also disabled this by an another simple command: echo "core" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern.
As a result, the core is generated, but it stills cannot be read by gdb. Here is the output of gdb:

Purling Hiss Returns with New Album, Weirdon
Philadelphia psych-punk trio Purling Hiss just released their seventh full-length album, Weirdon, a couple of weeks ago—and unless you've been following them through the years, you'd be hard pressed to trace these latest songs back to the same guy self-releasing CDs in 2009.
Photo by Tiffany Yoon
"Yeah, a lot of stuff's different, isn't it?" frontman Mike Polizze said when we spoke over the phone. "Someone who has no idea about our music can listen to Public Service Announcement [2010] and then not know that we're the same band that recorded Weirdon."
Purling Hiss began as Polizze's solo side-project, with him recording on a four-track that lent his songs a rugged tone, heavy in static and clouded with thick sounds.
"I just wanted to record anything, and it didn't matter," Polizze said. "I didn't know anybody was going to hear it, and I put them out…all I had then was a four-track, and I documented how I felt…I wasn't really anchored down.
Photo by Aaron Biscoe
"Now I have a little bit more of a foundation where I have a band together and we've got studio albums…and I could see us finally molding into a unit and having that language there and evolving into something that's more recognizable," he continued. "But I still want to evolve in whatever direction without feeling held back or restrained in any kind of way."
Weirdon, written last year after the band finished touring and recorded in the winter, does witness the band at liberty with their sound, although they maintain a very firm and very steady hold of the wheel. The 11-track record is full of energy, but it has its blissful moments of inertia, too.
Opener "Forcefield of Solitude" gradually builds on itself, its gentle meander through its initial verses eventually revving up with Polizze's forceful chants and soaring guitar screeches before tumbling into the rousing "Sundance Saloon Boogie," where the notes ricochet enthusiastically in their staves, guided by a buoyant bass line. The bluesy "Reptili-A-Genda" rocks you more gently, cradling you in drawn-out vocals and generous guitar twangs grounded in soft but steady background shakers. It's closer "Six Ways to Sunday," though, that stands out the most, a languid, eight-minute track (the album's longest) that cautiously sidles its way up to a stunning instrumental meditation.
"A lot of [the album] has to do with just what I was going through at the time, just being away from home and the stresses of that and personal stuff," Polizze said. "I think that the album captures the ups and downs, and you just boil it down to what matters. It's understandable…some people expected the album to be weirder, but I don't think it's just all about that. The songs are quirky and goofy, and some are more serious.
"It's not necessarily a happy album or a sad album, but it's just trying to include all the elements. It's cathartic, it's therapeutic."
Mike's WILD Wish: Just to go out and have a good time and a good tour. We've been talking about the album so much, and that's the next logical step.

We all know that one of the secrets to a longer life is vegetables, but normally, that just means eating them. But as of this week, the medical community has a whole new use for leafy greens-human heart tissue replacement.
You read that correctly. Scientists have found a way to turn spinach leaves into replacements for human heart tissue, and the leaves are performing remarkably well in tests. For a while now, labs have been able to use technology such as 3D printing to create larger sections of blood tissue, but they've struggled when it comes to the smaller, more intricate tissue and blood vessels that surround organs such as the heart.
The reason the spinach leaves work is due to the tiny, branching network of veins that deliver water to all sections of the leaf. But once you remove the water and cellular matter from those veins, they become an excellent distribution system for blood.
"We weren't sure it would work, but it turned out to be pretty easy and replicable," says Joshua Gershlak, a Worchester Polytechnic Institute graduate student who helped initiate the study. "It's working in many other plants," including parsley, Artemesia annua (sweet wormwood), and peanut hairy roots.
Plants such as jewelweed have also shown promise in replacing arterial tissue, according to the study. And even denser plant material such as wood could find a use as a bone replacement.
The eventual goal of the spinach tests, according to National Geographic, is to eventually replace heart tissue damaged by trauma such as heart attacks. The veins of leaves can potentially help carry oxygen to the damaged parts of the heart, which plays a big part in generating new heart matter.
And the tests aren't just theoretical. The lab successfully grew beating heart tissue from these spinach leaves. If you'd like a closer look at those results, you can check out WPI's video here.
So who knows? Maybe this is something you'll see in practice at some point in your own medical career. And maybe that surgeon rushing through the halls with a spinach leaf salad isn't on his way to a lunch break. One thing is for sure-there's no just predicting what medical science will think of next.

Q: object declaration in setUp method is not working I declared an object for a class in setup method in its test class. when i try to access it from its Test method, the method could not access it.
