August 2, 2014
HOUSTON (AP) -- Relatives and hometown supporters of boxing's first black heavyweight champion are turning to YouTube to convince the president to posthumously pardon him of a 1913 conviction for accompanying a white woman across state lines.
Jack Johnson was convicted by an all-white jury under the Jim Crow-era law and sentenced to a year in prison.
Lawmakers have sent the president a resolution asking for a pardon three times in the last decade, most recently in March.
His great-great niece, Linda Haywood, says in the new video that her family was ashamed Johnson had been railroaded and went to prison. She says he had to sneak around with his white girlfriend and later wife "because of the times that they lived in."
The video was made in Galveston, Johnson's hometown in Texas

It's sad because it's true.
Achievement unlocked!
The Boston College baseball team was swept by Clemson in their ACC home opener, dropping games by scores of 7-5, 9-2 and 1-0. Birdball falls to 5-25 on the year and 0-14 in the ACC.
Hopefully Brad Bates can hear The Voice from his office in Conte Forum.
In straight sets: 4-0, 9-4, 9-1.
The 56-game schedule begins with 18 straight road games -- 19 with the annual exhibition game against the Sox -- before opening up the home schedule on Wednesday, March 20 against Northeastern.
A total of 50 current ACC ballplayers were selected in this year's MLB player draft. BC had 2 -- Melchionda and Brazis -- the same number of selections for N.C. State and Virginia Tech. Only Duke (1) had fewer selections this year.

There were few empty seats Saturday night at the Texas Opry Theater when national tribute artist Johnny Rogers took the stage with his "Buddy and Beyond" show that brought back memories of Buddy Holly and the Crickets and many other rock and roll legends of the '50s and '60s such as Elvis Presley, Carl Smith, Big Bopper, Richie Valens, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and others.
Most of the 475 seats in the Texas Opry Theater were filled with enthusiastic fans of the music genre of a past generation. Marilyn Carter, co-owner of Texas Opry Theater, said, "that demographics of the patrons attending the nights event were 48 percent from Weatherford and 52 percent from 28 other North Texas cities in a 160-mile radius of Weatherford and as far away as Conroe and Washington state. The majority of the attendees dined before or after the show in local restaurants and many stayed overnight in local hotels and shopped in the shops and boutiques of our city."
Future events coming up at the Texas Opry Theater include this month's Parker County Live show on Saturday beginning at 3 p.m. This month's show features the blues and jazz gospel music stylings of the Reverend Cadillac Johnson and his band, The Revelators, which hail from the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Cadillac is a former bassist for the ZZ Top band and a regular on stage at the Bluebird Blues Club and like kind venues.
Besides ZZ Top, Johnson played with Ray Sharpe, who is the penman of Linda Lou, and became part of Johnnie Red and the Roosters, who released "In The Red Zone" in 1996. He has been a staple in the Fort Worth blues scene as a journeyman bass player for many years, playing with Holland K. Smith, Dave Millsap, Buddy Whittington, Johnny Reno and the list goes on. Along with his gospel/blues project with The Revelators, he also plays bass for Guthrie Kennard, Blind Dog Cooley and co-hosts a weekly jam with Dallas blues great Hash Brown.

Approaching Ice
Elizabeth Bradfield
Persea Books ($15)
by Lucy Bryan Green
In this mesmerizing voyage to a land more ice than earth, Elizabeth Bradfield probes the lives of polar explorers, the people they left behind, and the desires that propelled them. She embarks on this journey Because this life, this alarm clock time card / percolator direct deposit income tax stop light // seems vast and blank and numbing. To the vacuousness of modern existence she responds by guiding her readers to the plenty at the poles—a frigid wilderness populated not only by caribou, seals, emperor penguins, and polar bears, but also by adventurers, scientists, athletes, and tourists.
The rich detail in these imagistic, highly readable histories originates in the decades worth of research undergirding Approaching Ice. In one portrait, early Antarctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott, romantic past all sense, starves in his tent eleven miles from cached supplies. In another, the photographer aboard Shackletons ill-fated Endurance plunge[s] shirtless into the slushy hold to save glass negatives. The poet expresses this hope to the adventurers she resurrects:
that despite my distance
and the tendency of light
over ice toward mirage,
some shape comes through
that both of us
can recognize.
Bradfields burning devotion to her subjects gleams brightly against the glacial landscapes they occupy.
The voice of the poet also comes close to autobiography in a series of prose poems entitled Notes on Ice in Bowditch. Using definitions from a navigation handbook, she reflects on the intricacies of love. Under the entry for ice breccia, Bradfield writes: Patchwork sewn tight with freeze into one big blanket. The old, old blue with the new white. Different strengths and ways of being brittle. This is my answer to the years between us. There can be fusing. There is a name for it. With a speaker who frequently submerges herself in the third person, these interludes provide welcome moments of intimacy. Their emotional potency only intensifies as Bradfield reveals more about the partner they address—a woman lover who travels to Antarctica without her, carrying her poems.
Bradfield skillfully maneuvers between romantic desire and the passions that impel people to the poles. She portrays early explorers yearning for untouched places, fleeing a world besmirched by human hands. In an ironic turn, she writes of men contriving trials for the sake of recognition, Their passage loud with anticipated medals, applause. She even delves into political obsessions with ownership, detailing the Third Reichs attempt to claim Antarctica by dropping aluminum darts / tattooed with a crooked cross / every twenty miles into what they saw. Her insights into the insatiable nature of longing—whether for adventure, accolades, or the chance to again make human an eden—lend poignancy to an already exquisite collection.
And what myths would the land write / for itself? Bradfield muses. With a naturalists eye for observation and a poets ear for lyricism, she gives an inspired answer in sixty-one penetrating poems that will enthrall lovers of natural history, narrative poetry, and historical fiction.

By V. Phani Kumar, MarketWatch
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Japanese stocks soared Tuesday, towering over other Asian markets as Tokyo investors returning from a four-day weekend played catch-up with central-bank decisions, strong U.S. jobs data and a weaker yen.
Australian stocks narrowed their early losses after the country's central bank cut its policy interest rate by a quarter percentage point to 2.75%, surprising most economists who had expected no change.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average /quotes/zigman/5986735/delayed JP:NIK -0.63% surged 3.6% to end at 14,180.24, its highest finish since June 2008, while the broader Topix index /quotes/zigman/1652094/delayed JP:I0000 +0.37% gained 3.1%. It was the biggest percentage gain in more than three months for the Nikkei, which is now up more than 36% in 2013 to date.
The jump came as the market reopened for the first time since Thursday, reacting to developments in the interim, including the European Central Bank's quarter-point rate cut, the Federal Reserve's commitment to cut or increase its monthly bond purchases as required, and better-than-expected data on U.S. nonfarm payrolls.
The U.S. dollar /quotes/zigman/4868099/realtime/sampled USDJPY -0.1744% also moved back above the 99-yen level, staying within reach of the psychologically important ¥100 level, after trading under ¥98 during last Thursday's Japanese stock session.
"A further widening in the U.S. yield advantage over Japan will be required to push [the dollar's rate against the yen] higher, especially as recent flow data have shown both Japanese investor repatriation and net foreign buying of Japanese portfolio assets," Crédit Agricole head of global markets research Mitul Kotecha said.
"Despite these inflows, we expect a break [above] ¥100 to occur very soon, with appetite for foreign assets from Japanese [life insurers] and government pension funds, providing much of the ammunition for a sustained move higher," Kotecha said.
Shares of Toyota Motor Corp. /quotes/zigman/196473/delayed JP:7201 -0.49% /quotes/zigman/199376/delayed/quotes/nls/tm TM -0.34% jumped 4.9% a day after the Nikkei newspaper reported the auto giant was expected to report a more-than-tripling of its group operating profit for the year ended March 31, exceeding the forecast it issued in February.
Also leading the charge among exporters, shares of Nissan Motor Co. /quotes/zigman/196473/delayed JP:7201 -0.49% /quotes/zigman/202910/delayed/quotes/nls/nsany NSANY -0.15% gained 3.9%, Sony Corp. /quotes/zigman/197500/delayed JP:6758 +4.68% /quotes/zigman/197524/delayed/quotes/nls/sne SNE -2.22% spiked 6.4%, and Fanuc Corp. /quotes/zigman/192770/delayed JP:6954 +0.06% /quotes/zigman/527618/delayed/quotes/nls/fanuy FANUY +0.62% climbed 4.7%.
Meanwhile, the Shanghai Composite Index /quotes/zigman/1858913/delayed CN:000001 -1.56% was ended 0.2% higher and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475/delayed HK:HSI -0.91% edged up 0.6% after a choppy session. The two benchmarks struggled in early trade to extend the gains they had recorded in the previous session.
On the downside, South Korea's Kospi /quotes/zigman/1652118/delayed KR:SEU -0.15% slipped 0.4%.
Australia pares losses after cut
Over in Sydney, the S&P/ASX 200 /quotes/zigman/1653884/delayed AU:XJO -1.36% erased most of its losses after the Reserve Bank of Australia's monetary-policy decision, and ended down 0.2%.
Malaysia prime minister holds on to power
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak's election win paves the way for his party to move forward with a series of ambitious spending plans.
Several surveys of economists showed a majority expecting no action, though markets were at one point pricing a roughly 50-50 chance of a quarter-point rate cut.
Matthew Sherwood, head of investment market research at Perpetual, said the RBA's decision came as downbeat recent data on the Australian economy clearly showed there was room to cut rates.
"This is unlikely to be the last cut either. ... The domestic reporting season was indicative of the softness in the real economy, and with financial conditions remaining tight and monetary policy being less effective in a deleveraging cycle, there is a clear need for lower rates," Sherwood said.
Banking stocks declined after the rate cut to pressure the broader market, with Australia & New Zealand Banking Group /quotes/zigman/180795/delayed AU:ANZ -1.21% /quotes/zigman/180802/delayed/quotes/nls/anzby ANZBY -0.22% sliding 1% and Commonwealth Bank of Australia /quotes/zigman/181773/delayed AU:CBA -1.11% /quotes/zigman/181772/delayed/quotes/nls/cbauf CBAUF -0.49% losing 1.9%.
Meanwhile, shares of Billabong International Ltd. /quotes/zigman/264916/delayed AU:BBG 0.00% /quotes/zigman/264915/delayed/quotes/nls/bllaf BLLAF -1.02% were halted in Sydney at the surfwear retailer's request, saying the move was related to possible transactions involving the company. The halt will be in effect until Thursday or whenever the company makes an announcement. Billabong has been in talks with potential buyers.
In Hong Kong, shares of Chinese banks helped pull the market higher as they reversed losses in afternoon trade amidst broad regional gains and mild advances for U.S. equity futures.
Bank of China Ltd. /quotes/zigman/35803/delayed HK:3988 -1.61% /quotes/zigman/529024/delayed/quotes/nls/bachy BACHY +0.25% rose 0.8% and China Construction Bank Corp. /quotes/zigman/35073/delayed HK:0939 -1.00% /quotes/zigman/529424/delayed/quotes/nls/cichy CICHY +0.33% climbed 0.6%.
Heavyweight HSBC Holdings PLC /quotes/zigman/13834/delayed HK:0005 -0.90% ended 0.2% higher ahead of its quarterly results.
The performance in Shanghai and Hong Kong came as markets awaited the release of a slew of Chinese economic data, starting Wednesday. China will release its monthly trade data Wednesday, followed by inflation numbers a day later.
Figures released recently from the National Bureau of Statistics and HSBC showed Chinese economic activity had cooled in both the manufacturing and services sectors in April.

RRP Demo Derby, Mendota, IL
This is a good, inexpensive "give-away" flag for our demolition derby intermissions. The flexible rod makes them a little safer in the crowd than the wooden rods. Only negative is they sometimes stick together when unrolled and need to be slowly separated - hard to do with 300 fans clamoring for one in your face! Overall we are very pleased with price and quality and will definitely order again.
affordable & effective -
harvey, Jackson, TN
Received these, they were rolled, packed, and encased in fully closed plastic sleeves--about 12 flags per sleeve. The flags are well constructed and look exactly as pictured. Do be aware that the length of the plastic rod and it's 'tube-like' quality makes it not very rigid and it tends to bend---but for the price and the size, these get the job done.

GMOs and food sovereignty: Which way Africa?
Henry Makori (2014-07-24)
cc PHYS African governments are under intense pressure from within but also from big agribusiness and Western governments to embrace GMOs. Governments must resist all forms of arm-twisting and food colonialism and make their biotechnology choices based on the facts
GMOs: Fooling or feeding the world for 20 years?
cc NFC Myths and outright lies about the alleged benefits of genetically engineered crops (GE crops or GMOs) persist only because the multinationals that profit from them have put so much effort into spreading them around.
The GMO debate: What to consider
Mwananyanda Mbikusita Lewanika (2014-07-24)
cc PSM The debate around Genetically Modified Organisms has been characterized by lack of information and understanding of the complexities around biotechnology. Any state must undertake careful consideration about potential benefits and risks before deciding to introduce GMOs into the country.
Why Zimbabwe should continue to say 'No' to genetically engineered crops and food
John Wilson (2014-07-23)
cc TR GMOs are presented as a magic bullet to the problems of agricultural productivity without seriously examining the alternative route to industrial agriculture. Agro-ecology with an emphasis on ecosystem farming and local knowledge development of African farmers is the alternative that Zimbabwe should adopt
Further issues to consider in deciding whether to introduce GE crops and food
John Wilson (2014-07-24)

Caeser, the NYPD's newest police dog, is a 4-year-old German shepherd who served three tours of duty overseas. He will be patrolling the New York City subways with Officer Juan Rodriguez. (AP)
- Filed Under
NEW YORK — The New York Police Department is welcoming a newcomer thats the first of his kind for the nations largest police department: a former military service dog.
The 4-year-old German shepherd served three tours of duty overseas. Now hell patrol the New York City subways with Officer Juan Rodriguez.
The Defense Department has long made some of its retired dogs available to law enforcement agencies, but the NYPD hasnt had one before. The arrangement saves the police force the $6,000 to $8,000 cost of training an inexperienced dog.
NYPD Sgt. Randy Brenner says military dogs make promising police partners, because theyre already used to working in stressful situations.

Do you ever wonder if visualizing works or if it is just psychobabble hype? Well, let me tell you — IT WORKS!
I wanted to own my own company so for years I collected business cards of company presidents. My plan was that if I collected enough of these "important" cards, someday I could have this title on MY card. I have to say, it didn't happen overnight as it took a couple of years, but by a strange quirk of fate, an opportunity arose from a very unexpected source and I became President of my own company!
Do you call this luck or positive expectations? Would it have happened with or without my business card collection? I leave that decision up to you. It is like why do I buy expensive face moisturizers when a little Crisco would do the same thing (per my husband). Well, maybe the Crisco would work, but is it worth taking the chance? Your choice. Do you visualize? Does it work for you?
Visualization works! Think about anything you've achieved in your life and you'll likely remember visualizing it in some form – whether you did it consciously or unconsciously.
I've used the poster board, cutting out pictures and words from magazines. Now I've expanded that to include putting pictures on my desktop. I'll find pictures on the internet that I like, copy and paste them into Word, then save them as a jpeg file. Then I can easily make them my desktop background.
I also include words, phrases and affirmations. This is an excellent no cost option for those that are in front of their computer regularly.
Try this as well: Once you've visualized what you want, say "I am that, I am" (from the book the Moses Code by James Twyman.)
It's all good – it all works. Belief and consistent visualization are the key.
Hi, Melodee: what a fantastic idea! I doubt my ability to do what you did with the computer board, but I sure can do one with the photos you mention. Your idea just jumped to the top of my today's to do list. Anyone else out there tried Melodee's idea? Would really enjoy hearing any further tips you may have.
I agree – visualization works! Have you tried making a "vision board"? (Google it and you get some great ideas on how to make one.)
Normally, you use pictures from magazines and poster board to create a vision of what you want to attract into your life. I'm a computer geek so I did it with jpeg images and desktop publishing software :-)
Things really started to happen after I created it. Great things! So do yourself a favor and make that vision board today!

Lowest car insurance prices for drivers in Michigan can now be reviewed using the Quote Pros website online. A new group of discount insurers is delivering prices at http://quotespros.com/auto-insurance.html.
Detroit, MI (PRWEB) June 25, 2014
Annual premiums for vehicle insurance coverage can now be researched by Michigan drivers utilizing the Quotes Pros website for research purposes this year. A portion of the lowest car insurance prices for Michigan drivers can now be reviewed at http://quotespros.com/auto-insurance.html.
The monthly costs for coverage plans that are available come directly from state and nationwide companies solely in the U.S. The licensed insurance agencies that are providing the rates data also provide a link to help drivers purchase a discounted plan through a secure portal.
"Price is always one of the important factors when a consumer researches the car insurance industry and our website helps deliver real time price content," a Quotes Pros source said.
The major cities in the state of Michigan are represented in the agencies that are quoting plans directly at the QuotesPros.com website. The agencies underwrite specialty coverage for SR22, non owner, full coverage and other options that are more advanced compared with standard state minimum protection.
"The reviews for prices that are instantly obtainable while utilizing the detailed quotes tool we offer could help a driver to save cash when upgrading or buying a coverage plan," said the source.
The Quotes Pros company website has been adjusted to feature vehicle repair insurance coverage packages that are now separate from standard insurer protection. The repair policies are offered from a different database accessed at http://quotespros.com/car-insurance.html.
About QuotesPros.com
The QuotesPros.com company offers ways to explore vehicle insurance prices using its simple tool on the Internet. American motor vehicle owners have access to this system by entering a zip code to perform price reviews. The QuotesPros.com company has recently launched procedures that speed up all delivery of quoted prices for various insurance agency policies. New price data can be pulled from the system each day by consumers.

Update figure window and execute pending callbacks
drawnow expose
drawnow update
drawnow causes figure windows and their children to update. Any callbacks generated by user actions (for example, mouse or key presses, button clicks, and so on) are executed before drawnow returns.
Use drawnow in animation loops to update the figure during function execution and to update graphical user interfaces.
drawnow expose causes graphics and user-interface objects to refresh with all pending changes. However, it does not allow pending callbacks to execute.
drawnow update causes only user-interface objects to refresh. It does not allow pending callbacks to execute and does not refresh graphics objects.
Note: On Macintosh systems, drawnow update produces the same results as described for drawnow expose
Other actions and function calls that cause the MATLAB® software to flush the queue and update the figure include:
Returning to the MATLAB prompt
Executing the following functions:
Functions that wait for user input (i.e., waitforbuttonpress, waitfor, ginput)
Any code that causes one of the above functions to execute. For example, suppose h is the handle of an axes. Calling axes(h) causes its parent figure to be made the current figure and brought to the front of all displayed figures, which is the equivalent of executing a drawnow.
Using drawnow in a loop causes the display to update while the loop executes:
t = 0:pi/100:2*pi; y = exp(sin(t)); h = plot(t,y,'YDataSource','y'); for k = 1:0.01:10 y = exp(sin(t.*k)); refreshdata(h,'caller') drawnow end

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- "It's scary how much trouble you can get in," said Mason Sledge. "You have to watch yourself."
The Charlotte 49ers' offensive lineman isn't talking about alcohol or drugs. He's talking about something most college students have easy access to: social media. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are great for promoting a new program like the Charlotte football team. They also have their drawbacks.
"We had an incident with Austin Duke one time when he got upset about getting a parking ticket. And he tweeted something out about he didn't like UNC Charlotte," remembered head coach Brad Lambert, "He wasn't really mad at the school. You are mad at someone else over your mistake, but when you hit send it's out there."
It wasn't always like this. In the beginning, writers came to games and talked to players afterward. Contests were televised, and thus began the push for pre- and postgame interviews but fans still wanted more. Writers started coming to every practice, and with the advent of the internet and smart phones, everyone became a citizen journalist. Now it's only a matter of time before a player's private indiscretion shows up on the 6 o'clock news or goes worldwide on YouTube.
"You can't just post anything, because there are a lot of eyes looking at you," said freshman running back Alan Barnwell.
To eliminate future problems the 49ers took matters into their own hands. Instead of banning players from using Twitter and Facebook, the school brought in a social media specialist. They educated the players and put down some ground rules. The first is obvious.

Durham free school headteacher says it will not harm other secondaries (From The Northern Echo)

Durham free school headteacher says it will not harm other secondaries
4:05pm Thursday 20th December 2012 in News By Mark Tallentire, Reporter (Durham)
THE creation of a Durham free school will not draw funding away from other secondaries, its first headteacher has claimed.
In his first interview since being appointed, Peter Cantley said Durham Free School would bring extra investment to the area and increase parental choice and he wanted to work with other schools.
"I personally believe much more can be achieved in education through collaboration than through competition," the former Department for Education official said.
He conceded there were surplus places at nearby schools but said the threat to 11 to 16 education at Durham Gilesgate Sports College had nothing to do with the free school.
"The funding we receive will not draw away funding from other schools," Mr Cantley said.
The Free School is set to open in September 2013, initially with 60 Year Seven pupils.
Mr Cantley said he hoped a site would be announced in late January. Securing a location is the responsibility of the Education Funding Agency.
Mr Cantley said he wanted a site which would provide excellent teaching facilities, was reasonably close to sports fields and easily accessible.
The former deputy head said the Free School would provide an inclusive Christian secondary school for pupils across Durham and serve villages south and east of the city where parental choice was 'restricted'.
It will begin with three teachers before expanding by one year group each academic year to an 11 to 18 school and sixth form for up to 840 students.
If the school was oversubscribed, places would be allocated first to siblings of existing pupils, then to children living in the local parishes. Religion will not be considered.
Mr Cantley, who will take up his post on January 7, hopes to hold a presentation evening in late January and appoint fully qualified teachers who are sympathetic to the school's ethos in the spring.
He said: "I'm absolutely delighted to be the first headteacher of the Durham Free School because it's going to be a small, quite unique secondary school providing a high quality of education in a close-knit, caring school environment.
"I share the view of many headteachers that free schools empower local communities, responding to their educational aspirations."
Families can still apply for places at Durham Free School via durhamfreeschool.org.uk

A so called "free" school near me also promised that they would not be taking money from other local schools. This is a lie. One local school has lost pupil, although it is a great school. The money follows the pupil, so if the "free" school steals pupils, they steal funding.
"Free" schools were supposed to be set up where there was a shortage of places but the Department for Education refused to answer a question about giving money to "free" schools where there was already a surplus of places.
What a criminal waste of public funds and what an appalling way to organise education: no planning, increasing privatisation, vanity projects. Where are the interests of either the children or the future of the country in all of this?

In Case of Terrorism
It is difficult to know with certainty in what form a terrorist event will take place. It could be an obvious event involving an explosion and release of hazardous materials, or it could involve a covert method, such as mailing letters or packages containing hazardous materials.
The following are guidelines for generic suspicious activities that should be reported to the Oregon State Police at (541) 737-3010 or, if life-threatening, at 911 or the Public Safety Emergency Line (541) 737-7000.
- Anonymous tips, phone calls or notes indicating threatening events.
- People watching officials or offices.
- Unidentified or unattended packages left in or near offices.
- Requests for plans, blueprints, or sprcifications for buildings by people who have to reason for this information.
- People in places where they do not belong.
- Packages or heavy mail with a peculiar odor or appearance.
- Confrontations with angry, aggressively belligerent or threatening persons.
- Extremely threatening or violent behavior by coworkers who indicate they may resort to revenge or more violence.

Theodore Fulton "Ted" Stevens, Sr. (November 18, 1923 – August 9, 2010) was a United States Senator from Alaska, serving from December 24, 1968, until January 3, 2009, and thus the second longest-serving Republican senator in history. He was President pro tempore in the 108th and 109th Congresses from January 3, 2003, to January 3, 2007, and the third senator to hold the title of President pro tempore emeritus.
Stevens served for six decades in the American public sector, beginning with his service in World War II. In the 1950s, he held senior positions in the Eisenhower Interior Department. He played key roles in legislation that shaped Alaska's economic and social development, including the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, and the Magnuson–Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. He was also known for his sponsorship of the Amateur Sports Act of 1978, which resulted in the establishment of the United States Olympic Committee.

DVC's audio and visual materials may be used in regular classes with the instructor present or by individual students and faculty in specified viewing areas on campus (i.e. Media Center) for regular class requirements.
Materials may only be copied or publicly performed following strict guidelines set by the Copyright Act of 1976. Copyright law requires a separate license agreement to be obtained before libraries, student clubs, and other campus groups may use film and/or video materials during non-classroom activities or events.
The Copyright Revision Act of 1976, section 110, authorizes performances and displays in face-to-face teaching in nonprofit educational institutions. Films and videos whether purchased, rented or leased, may be shown in classroom as part of the established curriculum. They may not be shown for recreational or entertainment without public performance license and/or permission.
From the COPYRIGHT MANUAL FOR FACULTY AND STAFF, 2004 - 05; Contra Costa Community College District
Fair use guidelines permit the use of film and videos in the classroom or library so long as the use is for an educational purpose. If the audience consists of teachers and students and the showing is for instructional purposes, any warning of "HOME USE ONLY" holds little weight. However, some experts advise that when purchasing video tapes, you should advise the seller of the intended classroom use.
Re: Public Performance
Q: A group of students wants to show a video from the library to commemorate a holiday. The video will be shown in the student lounge and anyone can attend. Do they need to get permission from the video copyright holder?
A: This use requires permission unless the video license includes the right to public performance. Because the video is shown to a public gathering rather than in a classroom, the purpose is for entertainment rather than instruction, fair use does not apply.

Timmerman wrote an aricle in Xconomy today that highlights Arrowhead Research (a company emerging from the ashes of Mirus Bio and Roche) and its progress in the field of RNAi therapeutics. As described in the piece, Arrowhead (like most of the field of RNAi) has been able to rebound from a near death experience to make progress toward being able to deliver RNAi products to the right spot in the cell to be effective -- one of the toughest problems in the field of RNAi.
They have done this by developing what is increasingly looking to be a viable polymer-based delivery system. It has a couple pre-clinical trials going now to battle hepatitis B. Their next step is to pass a safety study in people and show signs tha the drug is active. Arrowhead's best hope to exploit the utility of its "dynamic polyconjugates" is with its durg candidate, ARC-520. The drug is designed to reduce the production of hepatitis B antigen in infected patients. The antigen is thought to suppress immune function and thus hamper the body's fight against the infectious virus. In animal studies, not only was the antigen knocked down but liver functions appear to return closer to normal. Arrowhead is now poised to engage in a phase 2a clinical study through mid-2014, and if that goes well roll into phase 2b later in the year.
If Arrowhead is successful in its upcoming clinical work, not only might it have a therapy that could work for hepatitis, it may have a delivery system that could be more universally applied to the delivery of RNAi drugs. Other developers would be expected to more aggressively pursue it for licenses to its delivery technology.

We highly recommend this lovely rental. Much better than a hotel, so quiet and great location close to Worcester and Providence. Property has everything described on HomeAway website. We were very comfortable staying here.
We had a wonderful time, everything was as represented. The views were beautiful, amazing sunsets in the evening. We fished (caught quite a few!), kayaked, soaked in the hot tub overlooking the lake, and relaxed. We will definitely return. Rick & Melissa

|Christian Education, Major Events
A Five Week Lenten Series
Wednesdays in Lent, Bagby Parish Hall
Dates: February 20, 27; March 6, 13, 20
Join the Rector for five weeks of food and fellowship as we reflect on a few timeless truths of the Christian faith through the musical genres, Blues and Jazz. We'll uncover Christian truths as revealed through the music and lyrics of some of the world's greatest jazz and blues musicians. We'll use this time to address our daily challenges and see how music can help us overcome.
Our Wednesday Night Schedule:
5:00-8:00 PM - Child care (see information below)
5:15-6:15 PM - Dinner, Bagby Parish Hall
6:00 PM - Worship, Holy Eucharist, The Church
6:30-7:30 PM - Program, Bagby Parish Hall
Topics for each date:
February 20, "Blues All Around Me ... What Do You Do With the Thorns?"
February 27, "Blues Traveler: A Relationship Primer"
March 6, "Blue Skies Shining On Me; Turning the Blue Days to Jazzy Shines
March 13, "The Sweet Song of Surrender"
March 20, "Heaven ... I'm in Heaven"
Music and verse sometimes speak when words alone fail us. From Old Testament to New, from ancient Church to modern, music has been an avenue through which God speaks to His people and through which His people worship Him in return. It is not simply the traditional hymnody of the Church that speaks of our human experience, but the song of the heart. When the Hebrews crossed the Red Sea, Miriam did not pull out her hymnal; she sang and danced and offered words right from her heart.
Since the early 1900s, the musical genres of Blues and Jazz have spoken from the heart about the range of human emotions -- despair, loneliness, pain, joy, romance and love. We'll take a few weeks to see what intersections we can find between folks like BB King, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Rosemary Clooney, Frank Sinatra and more. Come to eat, share, listen, learn and, maybe, even to sing!
