'05 Kawasaki KX 250F Dirt BikeWhat It Does: The Kawasaki KX250F competition motorcycle returns for 2005 with several engine and chassis updates, making this championship-winning motocross bike the envy of the competition and one of the best on the market.
Why It's Hot: Although the refinements are endless, one item that stands out is the liquid-cooled 249cc four-stroke engine, which has improved low- and mid-range response courtesy of a modified intake port, a straightened exhaust port, and revised ignition timing for improved top-end and over-rev performance. Helping to maintain an optimal performance operating temperature, the radiators are 40mm longer for improved cooling efficiency, and the throttle cable was revised for smoother operation to enhance rider control of the broad four-stroke powerband. The KX250F's quick-shifting five-speed transmission has also been improved with stronger Third and Fourth input gears, and the clutch friction plates now have fewer friction elements to provide the rider with a more direct feel. The stainless-steel clutch cable and cable liner are changed for smoother operation, and a new clutch adjuster is added to the lever perch, making rider adjustments on the track quick and easy. The chassis and suspension have also been revamped for the strongest and most efficient ride possible.

'05 Kawasaki 1200 STX-R Jet SkiWhat It Does: With its racing-inspired hull and numerous championship titles in International Jet Sports Boating Association racing, this runabout model provides the power, performance, and exhilaration that can only come from a cutting-edge Kawasaki design.
Why It's Hot: Beginning with the STX-R's stable hull design, it provides a smooth ride and more precise cornering in the most intense racing conditions. The hull includes high-performance racing-type sponsons and a racing-style pump cover to provide "grip" for more aggressive turning and quicker planing. Plus, the hull is made of hand-laid fiberglass, is gel-coated for a deep, lustrous, scratch-resistant finish, and features the molded-in Kawasaki Splash Deflector to help minimize spray on the rider. Power for the STX-R is adapted from the engine design of the championship-winning Ultra 150 watercraft. The 1,176cc, three-cylinder two-stroke engine has an intake manifold angled back 45 degrees to create a downdraft effect for the trio of high-flow 40mm constant-velocity carburetors. A variable-speed oil pump reduces oil consumption and exhaust smoke, thereby increasing both power and efficiency. The carburetors are linked to the digital Direct Current Capacitor Discharge Ignition system by the Kawasaki Throttle Responsive Ignition Control (K-TRIC) throttle-position sensor. The K-TRIC uses independent ignition timing maps for each cylinder, based on engine speed and throttle opening, to provide quick throttle response and acceleration.

'05 Kawasaki Mule 3010 Trans4x4What It Does: Based on the popular Mule 3000 series, the new Mule 3010 Trans4x4's spacious four-passenger cab easily accommodates four adults. With a couple of quick adjustments, though, the operator can fold down the rear bench seat and extend the cargo bed farther forward to increase payload capacity. When the operator wants to transform it back to a four-passenger vehicle, the same quick adjustments are made in reverse order.
Why It's Hot: Combined with a heavy-duty DeDion/leaf-spring rear suspension system, the Mule 3010 Trans4x4 has a cargo capacity of 400 pounds in four-passenger guise and 800 pounds with the cargo bed extended forward. Plus, with an optional towing hitch, the new Trans can tow as much as 1,200 pounds. Kawasaki's legendary liquid-cooled industrial V-twin engine has a proven record for hard-working reliability and is matched to the company's highly refined continuously variable transmission for the ultimate in traction and control.

Built with adventure enthusiasts and sportsmen in mind, it includes new bodywork, the largest engine in its class, and is the first Kawasaki 4x4 ATV to use a fully independent rear suspension system.
Why It's Hot: Powering the Brute Force 750 4x4i is Kawasaki's revolutionary 90-degree, four-stroke V-twin engine. With a bore and stroke of 85x66mm, it displaces 749 cc and features new plated aluminum cylinders, a reverse-facing air intake, new 34mm downdraft carburetors and straight intake tracts, and four valves per cylinder. Also featured is a high-efficiency radiator mounted high in the chassis, where it's best protected from mud and debris. In four-wheel-drive mode, the Brute Force uses a limited-slip front differential, which eases steering effort under most riding conditions. The rider can also engage the Variable Front Differential Control (VFDC) to deliver torque equally to the right and left front wheels for maximum traction. The front driveshafts of the Brute Force feature new Cardan joints that help absorb torque fluctuations to the driveshaft, and its lightweight design helps reduce vibration.

Washington - The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will host its first Clean Technology Partnership Meeting on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 to bring clean technology stakeholders together to share ideas, experiences and insights and provide a forum for discussion on how the USPTO can improve and expand on its clean technology programs. The meeting will be held at USPTO Headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, from 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.
"Green technology innovations can help us protect our environment and improve our planet, and every day that an important new clean tech innovation is held back from the market represents a lost opportunity to create 21st century jobs and businesses," Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO David Kappos said. "The feedback clean tech stakeholders provide is essential in our efforts to continuously improve the quality of our programs and services."
Clean technology includes products and services that improve operational performance, productivity or efficiency while reducing costs, inputs, energy consumption, waste or pollution. Alternative energy sources, water and gas purification and soil remediation, as well as other technologies centered on increasing energy efficiency and non-toxic production incorporate clean technology.
Leading industry experts will provide an overview of the clean technology landscape, addressing the importance of regional accelerators, giving an update on clean tech patents, and highlighting the benefits of the USPTO's Green Technology Pilot Program.
The forum, moderated by J. Steven Rutt of Foley & Lardner, will feature remarks by:
- Bruce Kisliuk, Assistant Deputy Commissioner for Patents, Mechanical Disciplines, USPTO
- Jacqueline Stone, Group Director TC 1600, USPTO
- Neil Feltham, Senior Patent Counsel, DuPont
- William S. Elias, General Counsel, UChicago Argonne, LLC
- Mike Nelson, Chief Technology Officer, NanoInk, Inc.
- Alan Brown, Executive Director, Pennsylvania NanoMaterials Commercialization Center
Since taking office, the Obama Administration has worked to ensure a cleaner, safer and more secure energy future - one that ultimately breaks our dependence on foreign oil and moves our nation toward a clean energy economy that creates jobs and keeps America competitive. We're already making progress toward this goal by producing more oil in America, establishing ground-breaking fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks, and committing to historic investments in electric vehicles and advanced batteries to ensure that high-quality, fuel-efficient vehicles are built right here in America.
To confirm your attendance, please RSVP by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or by telephone to Jill Warden at (571) 272-1267. Space is limited. If it becomes necessary to restrict the number of attendees, it will be done on a first-come, first-served basis.

With the days darker and colder, we can often forget about those around us. If you have elderly or vulnerable neighbours, there are a few things you can do during the winter months to ensure they keep safe.
Older people don't always need extra help, of course. Many are more than capable of looking after themselves and are fully mobile and engaging with the local community. Others, however, can feel lonely or can become housebound, especially during the winter.
Look Out for your Neighbours
Look Out for your Neighbours
Getting to know your neighbour a little better will help you build a relationship with them and make it easier to check up regularly and provide support, should they need it, during the winter months. It's something we should all be doing if we can.
According to Age Concern, there are various things we can easily do for elderly neighbours from picking up prescriptions to salting the front pathway when there's a cold snap and, most importantly, ensuring they stay warm and safe.
The 5-Minute Check
Elderly people can sometimes feel pretty isolated. Their family have grown up and may have moved away and they may have also lost their partner. They might be unsteady on their feet and find it difficult going out when the ground is icy or they might simply forget to put on the heating on when a cold snap comes through.
The simplest thing to do is put aside some time during the day to do a five-minute check for your neighbour. This might not mean knocking on the door but could include having a quick look to see that everything is as it should be around the person's property. Are the lights on at night, has the milk been taken in, is there frost on their roof when yours has melted?
Popping in once a week for a cup of tea and a chat can be an excellent way to keep in contact with a vulnerable neighbour. If you see them in the street, stopping for a quick hello and making sure they've got everything they need takes just a little bit of your time and can make a big difference to them.
Keep Your Eyes Open
You should also keep your eyes open for any warning signs that something might be wrong. Does the house remain unilluminated as duck and full darkness approaches? Can you see frost on the roof, which usually means that the heating isn't on? Has their car been parked outside for too long when it's used quite often?
All these can seem quite harmless but they could mean that your neighbour is struggling a little – there's no harm in knocking on the door and checking they are alright.
If you want to get more involved, you can contact charities like Age UK. In some areas they run a pledge campaign where neighbours can sign up online and show how they're helping those who need it. There's also the chance to reach out to older people in the community in general and this can be very rewarding.

Top Chinese Designers at Vauxhall Fashion Scout – Ground Show, Xindier & Tangy
This season Vauxhall Fashion Scout had three designers from China for a group show! It was quite exciting as the clothes were vibrant, beautiful and all had a very distinct look and feel. Styling a group show is always a challenge and of course there was the language issue. The designers were so lovely and kind to work with. It's kind of fun when you don't have a common language, just a love for fashion. My team was also very organized as there were quite a few looks for the dressers.
Each collection had a Chinese feel about it: the cherry blossom colours, the silk fabrics and the butterflies and embellishment, and at the same time it all felt like fashion. We often think of China for it's manufacturing abilities and not so much for it's design but really in the last 5 years or so this has been changing, and it's great to have an opportunity in London to see designers from other countries who want to show here!
Wang Yuan, the creative director of Ground Show, was born in the Chinese city of Qingdao. She is a talented violinist and her experience in classical music is still a strong influence on her designs today. This is the first show for Ground Show to be held in Europe. Ground Show and its sister brand, Ground Susan, are distributed in over 100 stores across China.
I loved all these colours and the layering was beautiful. I often wear so much black but I was just inspired by all the colours!
Xindier, founded in 2005, is one of the leading brands to come out of Shenzhen and it's business includes design and manufacturing. Xindier head fashion designer, Xie Haiping aims to continue the innovation of a brand which has become associated with high-end Chinese urban women.
Fashion Shenzhen 2 – Tangy by Liang Zi, founder and creative director of the label is one of the leading fashion designers to come out of China in recent years. Established in 1995 Tangy has over 400 shops throughout China.
The third and last designer of the show, Tangy, featured clothes that felt very luxurious. The fabrics were rich yet earthy. Everything felt simple and easy to wear but just so feminine and beautiful to the touch.
These dresses by Xie Haiping for the Xindier labe were amazing! It was like very one was a show finale piece that you just wanted to use for a shoot. The dresses were very structured and very very heavy. The detail was extraordinary and everything had a whimsical quality!

Septic arthritis is an infection in the joint fluid (synovial fluid) and joint tissues. It occurs more often in children than in adults. The infection usually reaches the joints through the bloodstream. In some cases, joints may become infected due to an injection, surgery, or injury.
Different types of bacteria, viruses, and fungi can infect a joint. The types that can cause septic arthritis include:
The most common type of bacteria that causes septic arthritis is called Staphylococcus aureus. It is also known as S. aureus. The bacteria can enter the body in a number of ways, such as:
Septic arthritis may occur without any known risk factors. However, children who have an open skin wound and an impaired immune systems due to diabetes, kidney disease, HIV infection, or cancer may be at greater risk of septic arthritis.
The most common joints affected by septic arthritis are the knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, and wrist. Most often, only one joint is affected. Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each child, but common symptoms include:
The symptoms of septic arthritis can be like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees his or her healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Early diagnosis of septic arthritis is important. This is to prevent permanent damage to the joint. The process starts with a medical history and a physical exam. Tests may also be done, such as:
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is.
Septic arthritis often needs treatment right away with antibiotics. This can improve symptoms within 48 hours. Some infections caused by fungi need treatment with antifungal medicine. Viral infections are not treated with medicine.
A fluid called pus may be drained from the joint. Build up of pus can damage the joint. The pus is drained with a needle, tube, or surgery. Other treatment may include:
Septic arthritis can cause joint damage. If the growth plate was affected, this may cause an arm or leg to not grow to the full adult length. The growth plate is the part of the bone where new bone is created. This area of the bone helps determine its final adult length. Make sure to follow up with your child's health care provider to prevent long-term complications.
If your child's symptoms get worse or he or she has new symptoms, let the healthcare provider know.
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your child's healthcare provider:
Vidant Health can connect you to health care professionals to help you understand your condition and guide you through the treatment process. Let's chat.

Top 10 Silliest Monty Python Sketches
The British troupe known as Monty Python are legends of the comedy world, and it all began decades ago with a television series called Monty Python's Flying Circus. This collection of sketches and cartoons was odd, surreal humor at its finest. In other words, it was very silly.
But while the Flying Circus had nary a dull moment, certain sketches stand above all others. The weirdest, goofiest, and funniest moments the boys of Monty Python ever produced. The silliest sketches of all.
10: Blackmail
This sketch features a rather bizarre reverse game show which extorts money from viewers by threatening to reveal embarrassing and occasionally incriminating secrets about them.
The best part is Michael Palin's deliciously sleazy turn as the host, who displays a disturbing level of cheerfulness as he reveals the darkest secrets of random people from around the UK.
9: The Bishop
The Bishop is presented as a gritty crime drama starring Terry Jones as a hard-boiled… bishop. The credits seem to imply it's some sort of publicity stunt by the Church of England.
The bishop does his best to stop a series of increasingly ridiculous murders of clergymen, only to arrive moments too late in every case.
The Bishop also demonstrates Monty Python's willingness to be silly not only in their sketches, but even in the way their show is structured. The Bishop is a sort of bizarre time loop, ending with its beginning, and it even starts over once again later in the episode.

Kiteboarding has been selected as one of the four sailing events in the 2018 Youth Olympic Games, to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The International Sailing Federation (ISAF) Executive Committee confirmed that kiteboarding will be tested for potential inclusion in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
"This is an important development in our Olympic journey and we are excited that young kiteboarders will be given the first opportunity to showcase their talent at the 2018 Youth Olympics," expressed Mirco Babini, president of the International Kiteboarding Association (IKA).
"Young athletes now have a serious goal to strive for, and as many of our top sailors will be in the right age range for the Youth Olympics, we are sure that the highest performance will be guaranteed. This is going to be a terrific event for both competitors and spectators alike."
IKA's Formula Kite has been picked as the official Olympic equipment over Twin Tips and Foil Boards. The format for the 2018 Youth Olympic Games will be based on the short track format tested in the 2014 Sailing World Cup Final, in Abu Dhabi.
"Formula Kite provides a stable equipment platform across the world. Even in the lightest wind conditions, we can showcase high-performance sailing and display the sport at its best," explains Markus Schwendtner, CEO at IKA.
"Twin Tip Racing remains our grassroots racing equipment, and we continue to race hydrofoils experimentally without equipment limitations. For the Youth Olympic Games, however, it's important to use equipment that is readily available so that National Federations can kick off their athlete programs quickly and with certainty. This is why ISAF has selected Formula Kite."
The 2018 Youth Olympics will feature an event for the best 12 male and best 12 female competitors in the world aged between 15 and 18 (born between January 1st, 2000, and 31st December 2003).
ISAF has also confirmed that kiteboarding will be included in the 2019 World Beach Games, in Sochi, Russia, alongside windsurfing. The World Beach Games will be the third biggest sports event in the world after the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup.

Terry McAuliffe takes oath as Va.'s 72nd governor
RICHMOND, Va. – Terry McAuliffe has been sworn in as Virginia's 72nd governor. Here are some of the highlights of the day's festivities:
Another big family for the Executive Mansion
One of Virginia's inaugural traditions is a small ceremony to turn the Executive Mansion keys over to the new occupants.
A Democrat is moving in and a Republican moving out, but some things won't change much.
"I'm honored to turn the reins over to another Irish Catholic family with five kids," said departing Gov. Bob McDonnell as he presented the key to successor Terry McAuliffe minutes before the Democrat was sworn in.
After the exchange, McAuliffe walked across the hall to pose for pictures with eight former governors.
New governor signs orders
Gov. Terry McAuliffe went right to work after being sworn in, signing four executive orders.
One imposes a $100 gift limit on himself, his family, other members of the administration and their families. The action comes as state and federal investigations continue into former Gov. Bob McDonnell's relationship with a business executive who showered him and his family with thousands of dollars in gifts and loans.
Another order prohibits state government from discriminating based on race, sex, color, national origin, religion, age, political affiliation, disability, sexual orientation and, for the first time, gender identity.
The other two orders deal with government continuity.
Bill and Hillary Clinton attend
It was Gov. Terry McAuliffe's big day, but the biggest stars of Saturday's inauguration were former President Bill Clinton and his wife former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The crowd cheered as the Clintons entered and made their way to their second-row seats. The Clintons also drew keen attention of state lawmakers waiting in the Capitol rotunda before the ceremonies began.
Democratic Del. Jeion Ward lamented afterward she'd forgotten to take a picture of the former president.
"I missed the picture of Clinton because he shook my hand," she said.
"What did you think of Hillary's hair?" Del. Mark Sickles asked Ward, before pronouncing that he likes the former first lady's current hair style.
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley predicts cooperation with Virginia
Democratic Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley predicts greater cooperation, particularly in the areas of economic development, between his state and Virginia as Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe takes office.
O'Malley was one of several high ranking elected officials at McAuliffe's inauguration Saturday.
Maryland and Virginia often compete to lure businesses looking to move to the Washington, D.C. area.
O'Malley said that there's a growing awareness that both states are both part of the same region and need to work together for mutual benefit.
But, he added, "you always look at your neighbors, you always look at how you are doing in your peer group."

This is around the general theme of what you do with scores, metrics, etc.
My experience is that treating scores as things you're constantly trying to improve upon leads to pathologies and weird incentives, but treating them as constraints where they're just supposed to be in a certain range produces nice results almost regardless of the utility of the score.
e.g. code coverage. People have a bit of a hate for it, but I think that's because they perceive it as a score that they're trying to make go up and thus perceive increased code coverage as meaning your tests are better. This is often not the case.
Code coverage instead treated as a constraint (either "You must have 100%" or "You must never decrease code coverage") produces very good results, because at that point it becomes where testing starts rather than the goal, and is much more useful in that space.

The American Council on Exercise has determined that a one-hour kickboxing workout can burn 500-800 calories, twice that of one-hour step-aerobics class. Other benefits to Cardio Kickboxing include building strength, aerobic fitness, flexibility, and coordination.

Once Upon a Time in Shaolin
The Untold Story of the Wu-Tang Clan's Million-Dollar Secret Album, the Devaluation of Music, and America's New Public Enemy No. 1
Cyrus Bozorgmehr
Flatiron Books
"Have you ever heard of the Wu-Tang Clan?"
Well, of course I had. Didn't explain what the fuck this rather placid-looking Moroccan chap in glasses had to do with them though. Maybe he ran the local fan chapter.
"That's my crew—I'm part of the extended Clan. Name's Tarik."
This dude's going to try and sell me a villa next. It was just too ludicrous to contemplate. I smiled and nodded indulgently.
But there was something about the way he'd dropped it. No big thing—didn't oversell it, no preening or fluffing of feathers. He was either one seriously left-field motherfucker or a gloriously incompetent bullshit artist. Only time and a Google search would tell. And yet, as the conversation took its flow, something sparked under an African sky.
We had been introduced at a lunch party hosted by the sculptor and author Jimmy Boyle on a crystal-clear day in Marrakech. Despite my suspicions that Tarik might be insane or at least a dangerous fantasist, we were rolling deep within minutes. By sundown, we had set the music world to rights and he still hadn't had a sip from the vine, while I was about three bottles to the good. A set of supremely ephemeral breakthroughs on a warm spring breeze.
And then what seemed like the most absurd of all the ideas floated.
"I've been thinking about a single copy of an album, sold privately," said my new friend.
"Sounds dangerously elitist," I replied . . . even if you could argue that it was an evolutionary adaptation generated by the economic meltdown within music.
The much-heralded democratization of the digital had, like so many revolutions before it, morphed into a new tyranny. Recorded music was increasingly viewed as worthless, and getting heard was more difficult than ever as the ease of production and digital distribution created a new enemy—saturation. Independents were buckling, development budgets were a distant memory, and perhaps most worrying of all, the perception of music had shifted into something between voracious consumerism and a God-given right.
But commodifying music even further and placing it squarely in the hands of the wealthy? That was a step too far for me.
We said our goodbyes without any exchange of numbers or gushing promises—but it had been an intriguing conversation. Still needed to do that Google search, though.
And there it was . . . Wu-Tang-affiliated producer and rapper Cilvaringz. Well, fuck me . . .
There's nowhere on this earth quite like Marrakech. Cast from the sands of a thousand years, her pockmarked battlements sigh cheerfully through the ravages of time. Labyrinths burrow into shadows of still reflection, pause for a quick cup of tea, and then dance the rhythms of lusty commerce. Tucked behind the veil, shady courtyards envelop themselves in the sweet scent of orange blossom, while out in the thoroughfares, an indulgent chaos reigns by popular acclaim. And away in the distance, the cloud-capped majesty of the Atlas Mountains nods sagely through the ages as horns blast, motorbikes chug in dissonant song, and tribal drums ring out the chant.
Marrakech's reputation for bohemianism is both thoroughly merited and eloquently contrived—much like bohemianism anywhere. Naturally there was a sense of privilege to anything quite so theatrically self-aware, but the first wave of flamboyant creatives who forged its reputation were gorgeously genuine. Crushed velvet capes and eccentric old aristocrats, barking mad painters and tragic diplomats tripped the oriental fantastic, and before you knew it, Marrakech was a byword for cosmopolitan style, a caravanserai for the international aesthete.
I had been here on and off now for three years. I traveled extensively for projects of all stripes and saw Marrakech as something of a refuge from my own mischief. I behaved here, nurturing a normal existence rather than staying awake for days on the jagged edge of pressure like I invariably did on a mission. While reveling in the town's joyous innocence, I clung to the contemplative life, preferring to wake at dawn to get some work done in a cloistered silence, but as a result, I had acquired hermit status in the social calendar. My long-suffering wife was less than impressed, especially when photos of me clearly having the time of my life kept popping up to document the jobs I'd been on, so when she suggested we engage in some vaguely meaningful way with Marrakech's impending art biennale, I felt I was a "fuck that" away from divorce.
The Marrakech Biennale's remit seemed to be assembling a mix of local and international art in a series of locations around the city, from crumbling palaces to exclusive boutique hotels. The opening cocktail party offered little hope for a visceral cultural experience; it felt like someone had satirized an artsy circle jerk in Chelsea, transplanted it to a palm-strewn rooftop, and used the local populace as an abstract string to a bullshit bow. But that wasn't a fair impression of the event as a whole, and as the days unfolded, we attended a range of exhibitions, installations, and talks, many of which were undoubtedly positive for the city's cultural life. There was perhaps more talk than evidence of cross-cultural engagement, and despite there being Moroccan art for Western collectors and Western art for Moroccan collectors, it did at times feel that there was largely fuck-all for the average Moroccan bar a couple of headline street pieces. It was one of those things that started off with the best of intentions but accidentally ended up elitist because it just couldn't stem its own tide.
Having been to a series of talks by Moroccan authors and filmmakers, I found myself trudging toward the Bahia Palace, one of the major exhibition centers, with my good mate Nick, and as we approached the entrance, who should we bump into? Yep—you guessed it. Cilvaringz and his wife, Clare.
We were delighted to see one another despite having made absolutely no effort in the intervening three years to get together for a drink or something, like normal people would. But the kind of connections that feel totally natural after three years and one intense conversation are far more valuable than vats of synthetic small talk, and I knew instantly that whether the art was transcendental or reminiscent of a 1970s novelty store, we were going to have some fun.
Cilvaringz was on the board of the Biennale, and as we strolled around the palace, he grew increasingly frustrated at the kind of money that had gone into the more forgettable exhibits. From buckets to paper planes to a couple of old bed frames, it threw up an instant mirror to the increasingly tortured state of music.
Grabbing a coffee afterward, we settled in for a postmortem. It wasn't that we were buying into the inverted snobbery of needing art to be figurative or the old "my six-year-old could do better" chestnut. Testing boundaries and the kaleidoscope of perception was what contemporary art was all about—be it a monochrome canvas or a pile of industrial rubble. But the line between high concept and complete bollocks was fraying, and this wasn't saying anything new. It was just really, really—mediocre.
And while buckets were selling for five figures, an ever-diminishing pool of people was prepared to pay for music. For albums that take years to make and have every ounce of a musician's heart and soul in them.
What was it that gave someone the barefaced balls to sell paper planes for thousands, while a new song gets ninety-nine cents at best and more likely gets torn out of the torrentsphere?
The ninety-nine-cent price tag was about volume, of course. The music industry model was always based on two main foundations—mass production and egalitarianism. An artist sells original piece, or limited-edition prints, but a musician can sell millions of units. All of them are affordable, and outside of rare editions, everyone has a shot at buying them with no one paying more or less than anyone else.
But that was the architecture of the predigital world. A world in which people would grow increasingly excited as an album release date approached; where they rushed down to the record store and queued alongside others they shared a community with. And then glided home on a high, lovingly unwrapped their album, read the sleeve notes, listened for months, soundtracked highs and lows, vibrant peaks and calamitous troughs, and then mounted it on a shelf as an expression of identity. In other words, they treated it like art.
There was a pilgrimage to the acquisition of new music—even if it was two blocks away at Tower Records. And the emotional and financial investment people poured into music was relative to their experience of it, at least in some way. Tragically, in a weird evolutionary flaw, the less effort people have to make for something, the less they value it. And while that investment doesn't have to be economic—if you run twenty miles for an album, or do a hundred push-ups for a single, that's still you infusing an end product with a sacrifice. In the modern age, that sacrifice is almost always represented by money, so does placing economic value on something directly affect how we experience it? That's a very uncomfortable question.
Cilvaringz was getting increasingly animated. The table was taking the brunt of it. "People don't see music as art anymore. They don't see it as something valuable. That has to change, and right now—I might just be working on a project with RZA that I hope will start a real debate."
I really liked this guy. Fucking switched on, and a great energy. I looked forward to our next meeting. Still didn't swap numbers, though.
Tranquillity shattered as the phone yelped into life. Fumbling around blindly, I smacked it into the bedside table a couple of times for good measure and peered through the mists at the name. Mr. S . . . Well, who else would be calling me at 3 a.m.?
By this time tomorrow I'd either be halfway to the Arctic Circle, taking a crash course in cryptocurrency, hiring a team of archaeologists, or something similarly fucking random. This was as close to a Batphone ringing as I got—if Mr. S was calling me, then some kind of drama was imminent.
My qualifications are, shall we say, abstract. My role in so many of the creative projects I'd been involved with over the years had been subsidized by my work as a consultant to some of Mr. S's more unconventional investments. Doing a spot of consultancy for the bizarre on the side had been a real blessing in allowing me to follow my heart through sound systems, warehouse raves across Europe, giant immersive experiences, and passion projects in their infancy. Much as I fancied myself as a Mr. Wolf for the nonhomicidal, the reality was far more mundane—if it was fucking ridiculous and no one else on Mr. S's rather conservative team would touch it, I'd get a call. We had an understanding, though—an unspoken respect based on raw instinct.
"Cyrus," he said, with something vaguely approaching cheeriness. Sort of like a kindly but extremely demanding uncle.
"Morning, boss—hope you and the family are well."
"Tip-top," he replied, in that curiously anachronistic vernac-
ular that always made me crack a smile.
He briefed me on a groundbreaking musical project he'd funded and asked if I would be willing to act as an advisor. He didn't fuck around, so if it had piqued both his interest and his checkbook it was almost certainly going to be an intriguing mission. There were two people I'd be directly liaising with if they approved my place on the board—a Mr. Robert Diggs and a Mr. Tarik Azzougarh, neither of whom I'd ever heard of.
And then he casually mentioned the Wu-Tang Clan and everything sharpened into vivid focus. It couldn't be. . . but then how many Tariks could there possibly be in the Wu-Tang ecosystem?
Robert Diggs, though. Who the fuck was that? Information was but a quantum second away, and suddenly there it was. The RZA.
"Roger that," I replied. Ten-four.

Nortel announced on Friday that it has officially completed the sale of some 6,000 patents to the consortium of companies that won them in an auction earlier in July. Those companies are Apple, EMC, Ericsson, Microsoft, Research In Motion and Sony, and are most significantly not Google.
The company's announcement didn't include any new details, but the sale had been wending its way through the regulatory process in Canada, a process that has apparently concluded with the six companies walking away with their patent booty.
Apple, Microsoft, and the other companies were believed to be interested in the patents to both boost their own patent portfolios, and to keep Google from being able to jump-start its own portfolio. The battle between Apple and Google (through hardware makers as proxies) and between Microsoft and Google has so far favored Apple and Microsoft, who have much broader patent portfolios than Google.
The patents cover an array of technologies from so-called 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) and other wireless-related technologies, to networking, to voice and data transmission, to optical, and even semiconductors. The winners will now have both increased opportunities for generating licensing fees and added weight in the patent wars already being fought.
The consortium, which was named Rockstar Bidco, paid a combined total of US$4.5 billion, $2 billion of which came from Apple, according to Robert X. Cringely. Research In Motion and Ericsson put up $1.1 billion, Microsoft and Sony put up another billion, while EMC put up $400 million.
What's not clear is which company gets which patents, or if there are cross-licensing deals included in the creation of Rockstar Bidco. That will probably take some time to find its way into public knowledge.

When planning this AMV I studied Marilyn Manson's video to this song. That means I watched it two or three times on TV and then played it over and over in my head. I took note of the editing style, the nature and arrangement of its images, and even the color palette. How much could I recreate using footage from Akira? During that time I also read Angelynx's, "Worms With Angel Wings" (http://www.spookhouse.net/angelynx/manson/ACS.HTM), a song-by-song analysis of the Antichrist Superstar album. It made me I think about "Tourniquet's" place in the album's concept, and I designed the AMV accordingly.
I made this in 1998, using someone else's VCR, laserdisc player, and copy of Akira. In the end I memorized the movie, made the trip, and cut the whole thing in 4.5 hours.
Let me explain the mouse cursor in the first clip before everyone starts commenting on it to the exclusion of all else! Somewhere, in the chain of equipment I was using, was a computer. One person was using the computer to edit a subtitle script at the same time I was making my AMV. This caused a mouse cursor to appear on my screen. By the time I realized that the mouse cursor would actually be in my AMV, I had already finished editing.

Does your furnace smell like burning? The odor of burning can often be indicative of a more significant problem in the home—often a dangerous one. So when it starts coming from your heating system, a major component of your home's operation, it can be more than a little alarming.
Heating system malfunctions are the second most common reason for home fires, according to the National Fire Protection Association. If your furnace smells like burning and you think you may be at risk of a safety issue, call Michael Bonsby HVAC right away at 301-990-7970. We offer same-day service in Maryland and Washington, DC when there's an emergency!
The Main Causes of Furnace Smells
It's important to be aware that furnace smells can be normal and aren't always indicative of a problem. But if your furnace smells like burning and it has for an extended period of time, it can be a sign of an underlying problem. The nature of the smell depends on the cause, the most common of which include:
- First use of the season. Did you notice the smell the first time you turned your unit on for the winter? Lack of use over the warmer months of the year can lead to a buildup of dust in your system's combustion chamber that then causes burning smells when your unit is first turned on. This is the leading cause of unusual furnace smells, and they should go away on their own once your system has warmed up.
- Dirty filters. A clogged filter is also one of the most common reasons for furnace odor. When your filters aren't regularly cleaned and replaced, it can cause them to fill with dust that moves through your heating system and smells like burning. This is easily fixed! Have your local HVAC company complete annual maintenance and clean or replace your filters, as needed, and you should be all set.
- Blower malfunction. Your furnace's blower helps maintain the internal temperature of the system. So when it stops working as it should, the unit can overheat—and even lead to a house fire. If the smell doesn't go away after initial use, and you've had maintenance completed and your filters checked, you may have a blower malfunction—call a technician immediately.

Supplemental Report on Large Metropolitan Areas
Last week, the CDC published the supplemental report, "Diagnosed HIV Infection among Adults and Adolescents in Metropolitan Statistical Areas –United States and Puerto Rico, 2013." The report supplements the 2013 HIV Surveillance Report and presents data based on people living with diagnosed HIV infection residing in metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs; population of 500,000 or more) in the United States and Puerto Rico.
Overall, the report highlights that the southern region continues to shoulder the greatest burden of HIV in the country. Although the number of new diagnoses in the United States has remained stable, the data from the latest MSA supplemental report show that people living in MSAs, especially MSAs in the South, have higher rates of HIV diagnoses and prevalence.
Among large MSAs, five MSAs (Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL; New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA; Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD; New Orleans-Metairie, LA; and Jackson, MS) had the highest HIV prevalence rates accounting for 30% of the number of persons living with diagnosed HIV infection in large MSAs. Compared to data from the last MSA Supplemental Report in 2011, the overall results for the newest report were similar. By race/ethnicity, rates of diagnoses of HIV infection and prevalence were highest in MSAs in the South for Blacks/African Americans, the Northeast and South for Hispanics/Latinos, and MSAs in Florida for whites. Diagnosis and prevalence rates overall, by sex and by sex and age were highest in MSAs in the South with Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL having the highest diagnosis and prevalence rates, overall. For all large MSAs, male-to-male sexual contact was the leading transmission category. Death rates for male and females adults and adolescents were often highest in the South with the highest being Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD.
Targeted testing, linkage to care, and other prevention initiatives may explain the changes seen among certain regions, populations, and subgroups. Activities such as expanded HIV testing in severely affected populations and regions align with the National HIV Strategy by increasing the number of individuals aware of their HIV infection. The data also indicates areas where there are inequities and work to be done to decrease new infections and death rates.
Surveillance data will continue to help guide resources to ensure resources are used in the most effective way possible. Consistent with CDC's High-Impact Prevention approach, federal, state, and local health officials may use this data to target prevention and treatment services to regions, populations, and communities at greatest need.
In addition to the "Diagnosed HIV Infection among Adults and Adolescents in Metropolitan Statistical Areas –United States and Puerto Rico, 2013" supplemental report, the CDC recently published two HIV Surveillance: Special Reports. These reports highlight the latest findings from the National Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) program that monitors behaviors among at risk populations and the Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) that assesses clinical and behavioral characteristic of HIV-infected adults who are receiving outpatient treatment.
New National HIV Behavioral Surveillance Data on High-Risk Heterosexuals
The most recent data from the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance show that heterosexuals of low socioeconomic status in urban areas are still at increased risk of HIV infection and would benefit from increased receipt of HIV testing and prevention resources.
Past data from the first two cycles among heterosexuals at increased risk for HIV infection indicate that heterosexual men and women of low socioeconomic status in urban areas have higher HIV prevalence compared to the general population. In the third heterosexual cycle of NHBS in 2013, 2% of respondents had a positive result for HIV infection; of these, 56% reported being aware of their infection. Data from 2013 show that 19% of respondents had never been tested for HIV and 62% had not been tested in the 12 months before interview. Condomless vaginal and anal sex was reported least often by individuals aware of their infection compared with those unaware of their infection and those who are HIV-negative. The receipt of free condoms was reported by 41% of participants and 13% reported participating in an HIV behavioral intervention. Among self-reported HIV positive-aware participants, 95% reported having ever visiting a health care provider for HIV care and 91% reported a visit within the six months before the interview; 72% were linked to HIV care within three months of diagnosis. Of the 8,104 participants in 2013, the majority (77%) identified as Black, 53% were female, and 86% had incomes at or below the federal poverty level.
The results from the latest NHBS cycle underscore the importance of increased HIV testing, prevention, and linkage to care services for at-risk heterosexuals in urban areas. The National HIV/AIDS Strategy emphasizes the importance of increasing the number of people who know their serostatus and linking them to care, if needed. Data from NHBS provide a beneficial national snapshot of HIV risk behaviors among at-risk populations and provide data from state and local health departments to monitor selected health behaviors in areas with high HIV prevalence.
Medical Monitoring Project Report Details Clinical and Behavioral Characteristics of HIV-Infected Individuals Receiving Care in the United States and Puerto Rico
The latest Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) report shows the benefit of HIV treatment with over three-quarters (77%) of respondents having an undetectable viral load at their most recent measurement. Of all respondents, an estimated 98% had health insurance or coverage for antiretroviral therapy (ART) with only 31% having private health insurance. The MMP report details data collected in 2012. MMP is a representative, cross-sectional survey of HIV-infected individuals receiving care in the United States and Puerto Rico. Compared to the previous data collection in 2011, the data showed similar results.
The results from the latest MMP report highlight the need for tailored HIV prevention strategies for HIV-infected individuals with only 41% of all respondents reporting receiving counseling about how to prevent transmission of HIV. Approximately 63% of patients reported being sexually active with the highest percentage of sex without a condom with a partner of negative or unknown status being reported by men who have sex with men. The representative sample was 74% male, almost half (49%) identified as heterosexual, 42% were black, and more than three-quarters (77%) were at least 40 years old. Among patients currently taking ART, self-reported dose, schedule, and special instructions adherence was 89%, 76%, and 74%, respectively.
Through ongoing data collection, CDC will continue to use MMP data to monitor clinical and health characteristics along with met and unmet needs for HIV care and prevention services for HIV-infected individuals receiving care in the United States and Puerto Rico.

How to Fix File Access Denied
Windows may lock some files and prevent access to them from within File Explorer for a number of possible reasons. In many cases, a program that crashes or freezes does not release or reset the file properly before closing, causing file permission problems. Other times, a user using a Windows account no longer on the system may have created the file causing the permission issues. Whatever the reason for locked files, you can solve "File Access Denied" using your Windows administrator account and get your work day back on track.
Log in to Window with an administrator account.
Press "Windows+E" to open File Explorer, and browse to the folder that contains the locked file.
Scroll down to the locked file and right-click it. On the pop-up list, click "Properties."
Click the "Security" tab in the Properties window for the locked file. Click the "Advanced" button on the Security tab.
Click the "Change" link on the line labeled "Owner" in the Advanced Security Settings window.
Click inside the text box labeled "Enter the object name to select." Type your Windows account user name in the field, and then click "Check Names." The window displays your profile username and path inside the text box.
Click the "OK" button. Windows changes the ownership of the file to reflect your username as the owner. Click the "Apply" button then "OK" to close the Advanced Security Settings window.
Restart the computer, and log in again with the same administrator account you used to change the ownership properties of the locked file. Open File Explorer, and browse to the file again. Double-click the file to open the file normally in its associated application.
- Sometimes locked files can be the result of malware or viruses. Consequently, you should perform a full system scan for malware and viruses before unlocking the file.
- Once you change the ownership properties for the locked file, you can open it with the administrator account used to make the changes. If you want the file to be accessible to all users of the computer, type "Everyone" in the "Enter the object name to select" text box instead of your administrator account name. If you choose to make the file accessible to all users, you must also add permissions for "Everyone" using the "Edit" button on the Security tab of the Properties window. After you click the "Edit" button, click "Add," and type "Everyone" in the "Enter the object name to select" text box and click "Check Names." Click "OK" to add the "Everyone" listing to the allowed users list on the Security tab. Enable the "Full Control" option and click "OK."

This grayscale map needs to me marked up with solid black pixels (RGB 0,0,0) where it is never legal to park and solid white pixels (RGB 255,255,255) where it is always legal to park. You can even use a scale from 1-254 to indicate how long it is legal (where RGB 1,1,1 is 5 minutes, RGB 254,254,254 is 24 hours) or something like that.

AfriGeneas Free Persons of Color Forum
Free Negro Heads of Families in the United States
In Response To: Has anyone read these? ()
While Carter G. Woodson's work is monumental, it is not without error. Researcher Marlene Bransom noted that for Greene County, Pennsylvania Woodson only included "households in which all the persons involved are "persons of color" It does not include interracial households."
For example, Woodson's work includes my Archibald ADAMS of Center Township, Greene Co. PA because all of the members of Archibald's household were listed as "other" BUT his father Jacob ADAMS was not in Woodson's work because there was a free white female (Archibald's mother, Jacob's wife) in his household.
AND, at least for Greene Co. PA, Woodson's work also did not give sex and age of persons other than the head of household, just the total number of others.
Interestingly, in the introduction to Woodson's book he says "...that year a petition from Greene County said that many Negroes had settled in Pennsylvania and had been able to seduce into marriage "the minor children of the white inhabitants." This county, therefore, asked these marriages be made an offence agains the laws of the State."
I just love that considering that of the 18 or so interacial household's in that county in 1830, 8 of them carry the surname of ADAMS or WILSON which are my families. Would surely love to find a copy of the petition to see the names of those who signed it - it just might give me the maiden names of some of those elusive white wives.
So, while Woodson's book is a good starting place, it will not replace looking at the actual census pages.
