Oh rainy day, what should I play? If you're anything like me and you appreciate the ocassional dark skies and leisurely fall of rain, your playlist is probably a reflective collection of moody and somewhat somber tunes. On days like today, Classical, Film Scores and Jazz reign (pun intended).
How about a little music from the film Magnolia's soundtrack:
Keeping with film scores, nobody does gloomy and melodic better than Philip Glass:
Often lumped in with the French Impressionism of Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy, Erik Satie's hauntingly simple music evokes nostalgia and memory:
In her heyday, Billie Holiday's singular style was unmatched in expressing the depth of human emotion:
Two titans of modern music, Aaron Copland and Benny Goodman:
And lastly, the beauty and simplicity of The Beatitudes as performed by The Kronos Quartet and featured in the film The Great Beauty:
Looking for artists similar to those you already know about and enjoy? Well, we'll try to make suggestions that expand your musical listening experience by connecting like-sounding artists together.• Liked Jackson Browne, try Dawes • Liked The Avett Brothers, try The Felice Brothers • Liked Neko Case, try Laura Marling • Liked Miles Davis, try Chet Baker • Liked MGMT, try The Flaming Lips • Liked The Cocteau Twins, try Beach House • Liked New Order, try The Knife • Liked Bob Marley, try Peter Tosh • Liked Billie Holiday, try Diane Krall • Liked The White Stripes, try Wanda Jackson • Liked Wilco, try Fleet Foxes • Liked Pink, try Robyn • Liked Bon Iver, try Elliott Smith • Liked Mumford and Sons, try The Head and the Heart • Liked Frank Sinatra, try Kurt Elling
The 8-disc compilation The 100 Best Jazz Tunes of the 1950's is an absolutely fantastic introduction to the music of jazz for both the well-versed aficionado as well as the eager novice seeking to expand their listening library (see: My co-worker Kevin King's previous post). This was a great decade for jazz development, ushering in various stylistic trends including Bop, Post-Bop, Cool and the first signals of what one might refer to as Free Jazz. It's a who's who of legendary musicians from Jazz's heyday, many of whom are featured playing their signature tunes. Included are Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan, Django Reinhardt, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers, Charles Mingus, and many more. If you just wanted to add a little bit of Jazz to your iTunes library, this is the one title to start with.
One of my personal goals for 2014 was to try and find a way into jazz music. It has always been a genre of music I've had difficulty understanding, so I wanted to discover if I could learn to appreciate it. Another reason is that my 13 year old daughter, Abigail, is a HUGE fan of Miles Davis so I wanted to share something with her on the car rides to her various extra-curricular activities. On a whim, I checked outTime Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet which has become the first course in my jazz education. My instructor was Abigail who pointed out how the timing of each song was different. We continued to discuss the unique blend of cool and West Coast jazz that Brubeck made popular. I then had to research the story behind Time Out and discovered that the time signatures Brubeck used were very unusual and groundbreaking at the time. He was inspired by Turkish street musicians while touring Eurasia for the US State Department. I was amazed at the story behind the origins of the record as well as how my daughter was able to pick up on the innovative style of The Dave Brubeck Quartet. I am truly excited to enter 2014 looking forward to learning from a 13 year old jazz head. Maybe she will teach her old punk rock dad how to love the music that truly symbolizes the American spirit. If not I cannot find my way past Brubeck and Davis, I at least get to spend some time with my daughter. Whatever the result, I win.
Butler is a native of Cape Town, South Africa. He started singing on the streets of Athlone for food and began touring when he was 7 years old. It's hard to peg him because he has so many great sounds. He's a singer, song writer and guitar player and he's been described as a rhythm and blues, jazz and worship performer. He would probably approve of those tags because he does all of them well but I think his heart is in his gospel music. He's good! His cool jazz blends well into a gospel. And as far as rhythm and blues is concerned, I had to look the definition up and make sure I knew what rhythm and blues was. Under R&B, I saw words like urban, soul, gospel and others that would classify Butler as a contemporary R&B artist. Well, one thing is for sure, he's definitely got rhythm and he knows his blues. Still, I think Jonathan Butler would like to be best known for his uplifting, spiritual sound, which he is highly respected for.
KPL has several of his CDs. Some of his titles are Jonathan Butler, Surrender, The Source, Do you love me? He's on a jazz CD called Summer Horns with Dave Koz and friends. Watch for his new CD Grace and Mercy. I'm sure it, too, will have a great sound.
In 2001 the way the world listens to music changed when Apple introduced the iPod. Two years later, the iTunes Store opened for business offering owners of iPods a virtual place to purchase music. Over the past ten years billions of songs have been downloaded to the many Apple iOS devices. Some would argue that iTunes has destroyed the idea of a "traditional" album, but others claim that more people listen to different music because it is easier to access music. No matter how you feel, it is hard to deny that iTunes is the "King of all Media Delivery Systems."
I was curious to find out what the most played song was in the iTunes libraries of the staff at KPL. The answers not only provided me with insight on the listening habits of staff, but also inspired me to seek out the stuff in the library.
The most played song in my iTunes library is Matthew Sweet's "I've Been Waiting" from his 1991 album, Girlfriend. When I think about why this particular song is on top of the list, I recall the summer when both my daughters requested to listen to it multiple times. They liked to roll down the windows and sing along to infectious tune. My guess is the top tracks from other staff have a similar story.
• "Too Late" by Shoes, Karl Knack, Audio Visual •"Fluorescent Adolescent" by Arctic Monkeys, Anne Herrington, Law Library • "Plasticities" by Andrew Bird, Susan Lindemann, Facilities Management • "Teenage Riot" by Sonic Youth, Michael Cockrell, Adult Services •"Feels Like Home" by Edwina Hayes, Jill Lansky, Teen Services • "Gobbledigook" by Sigur Ros, Rick Hale, Patron Services •"Baby Girl" by Sugarland, Andrea Vernola, Youth Services • "Dirty Little Secret" by All-American Rejects, Wendy Hand, IT • "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" by Michael Jackson, Angela Fortin, Oshtemo • "Myth" by Beach House, Ryan Gage, Audio Visual
As I was reviewing the lineup for the summer concert series at Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, I came across a few artists/groups unknown to me. Having now spent a considerable amount of time researching those, I have a new favorite, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, and I can't wait to go see them in August. Among other performers coming to Meijer Gardens that are of particular interest to me: Michael Franti and Spearhead, Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers, The John Butler Trio, Grizzly Bear, David Byrne & St. Vincent, Pink Martini and Sheryl Crow
The singer Emmy Rossum is known mostly for her various television (Shameless) and film performances (The Phantom of the Opera) but she also has the trained pipes of an accomplished singer. We're not talking about the sort of actress, who uses their fame to influence the music industry to play along with their middling vocal talents (see: Scarlett Johansson). Rossum can truly bring the noise as she clearly shows in her new album Sentimental Journey, a collection of old timey jazz standards (Autumn Leaves, Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out) and retro-swinging country (Things, Pretty Paper). The album is on order so keep an eye out for it. It will be here soon. Listen to some of her renditions here.
I'm usually not a fan of musicians rearranging and rerecording their own music from an earlier period. Songs or albums tend to speak to a certain time or place in an artist's life and in our cultural milieu (even the songs and albums that are timeless), and revisiting songs years later—in a studio, not in a live setting—can come off as tired and hackneyed. Yet when I heard that Bryan Ferry reinterpreted a handful of Roxy Music classics as instrumental jazz songs, I was first intrigued and then surprisingly delighted. The songs on the Brian Ferry Orchestra's The Jazz Age sound like authentic 1920s compositions, made by musicians who clearly admire and understand the jazz music of that time period. The songs sound so radically different, I had to listen to the album a few times before I recognized some of my beloved Roxy Music favorites. The album is fun and enthusiastic, and although it doesn't replace the original Roxy Music songs, it's a pleasure to hear.
While we don't have The Jazz Age in our CD collection, it is available through Freegal. Freegal is a downloadable music service that allows resident borrowers to download three songs a week with their library card. Check out The Jazz Age and then see what else Freegal has to offer!
For comparison, here's a video of Roxy Music performing "Do the Strand" on the BBC in 1973:
And here is a one-minute snippet of the same song from The Jazz Age:
"If you go out searching for jewels and treasures elsewhere, you're liable to miss the acres of riches that lie beneath your feet."—Bryan Cohen
Today's buried treasure from the Friends Bookstore is a tasty musical offering by David Sylvian, Dead Bees on a Cake, released in 1999. If you're not already familiar with Sylvian's work, give his material a listen. Who to compare him to? His voice draws an obvious similarity to Bryan Ferry, but musically, Sylvian is more muted and much more diverse; closer say to a Peter Gabriel or a Daniel Lanois—dark, mysterious at times, but rich and deeply moving.
Sylvian is an excellent songwriter who typically surrounds himself with contemporary musical heavyweights. Bees, however, follows a series of more upbeat "prog-ish" collaborations with Robert Fripp, so a musical departure seems somewhat inevitable. Bees has a slightly more jazzy, worldbeat feel than its predecessors—very much in the same vein as the later period recordings by Talk Talk. Guest musicians, though few this time, include jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, composer and pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto, and a brief appearance by Steve Tibbetts. Sylvian's discography calls this release "openly celebratory in nature… documenting an eventful and transformative period in his life."
Thanks once again, Friends – a good find, indeed!
Consider this little series my own version of "Flea Market Finds," an ongoing report of the latest bargains unearthed in the lower level of Central Library. What a treasure we have (quite literally) in the Friends Bookstore. When you can grab high quality books, music, and movies for little more than pocket change, life is good. And all the proceeds go to a great cause, too. So shop often; you never know what you'll find. And stay tuned… I'll let you know what I find!

North Carolinas jobless rate inched up to 6.4 percent in May as nearly 19,000 job seekers entered the job market in search of work.
The uptick in the states jobless rate, from 6.2 percent in April, is the first time in two years the monthly rate has not decreased or held steady. The states jobless rate was 8.3 percent one year ago.
The May surge of new job seekers suggests a confidence boost in employment potential, even though North Carolinas labor pool remained smaller in May than it was a year earlier.
At least in May the increase in the jobless rate was due to the right reasons, Wells Fargo economist Mark Vitner said. It seems to me that the improvement in North Carolinas economy is beginning to entice folks back into the labor market, which will make it harder to drive down the unemployment rate.
State unemployment data was released Friday by the Labor and Economic Analysis Division of the N.C. Department of Commerce.
North Carolina gained 5,700 jobs in May, for a revised total of 30,100 jobs added in the first five months of 2014. The biggest job gains were in leisure, hospitality, trade, transportation, utilities, education and health services.
North Carolinas biggest job losses in May were in professional and business services, as well as manufacturing.
East Carolina University economist James Kleckley said the state would have to create more than 6,000 jobs a month to approach the 77,300 jobs it created last year.
A strong economic recovery would require creating between 8,000 and 10,000 jobs a month, Vitner said. At its economic peak, North Carolina was creating more than 100,000 jobs a year.
Quite frankly, were not creating the jobs fast enough, Kleckley said. Its not growing fast enough to get those unemployment numbers down to where wed like to see them.
Economists said 19,000 people flooding the labor pool in one month is unusually high, noting that month-to-month economic reports can fluctuate and that the beginning of summer is a time when students get out of school or graduate and begin sending out résumés.
Allan Freyer, a public policy analyst with the N.C. Budget and Tax Center in Raleigh, noted that North Carolina will reach a turning point when it replaces the 328,000 jobs that were erased from the states economy by the recession six years ago. He expects that to happen in less than a year.
However, the replacement jobs are not always as good as the jobs that vanished. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that nearly half the jobs North Carolina is adding are low-wage positions in retail, administration, waste management and food services, Freyer said.
Kleckley noted that North Carolinas economic potential is constrained by the recovery of the national economy.
The national jobless average in May was 6.3 percent.

Simon And Simon/ He's My Brother
A tribute to the series Simon and Simon and the love of two brothers.
Simon and Simon Close July 1986
First, a plug for Zenith, then Emery (Out of business?), and Miller, followed by an early start to the CBS Share the Spirit campaign, then the close (Note, Magnum and Simon and Simon swapped timeslots and apparently were both on Tuesdays at this time). After the close is a promo fo West 57th and Twilight Zone, and a plug for TGI Fridays!
Magnum vs Simon & Simon
Simon & Simon had a crossover with Magnum, PI, on the Magnum double episode "Ki's Do not Lie" and in the Simon & Simon episode "Emeralds Are Not a Girl's Very best Friend" (each in 1982). In 'Ki'is Don't Lie' Magnums professional services are donated to Catherine (Morgan Fairchild), an appealing socialite. Magnum is supposed to safeguard a valuable art collection that is due to be auctioned off. Meanwhile two detectives from the mainland, brothers AJ (Jameson Parker) and Rick Simon (Gerald McRaney) have been hired by the previous owner of a certain Hawaiian artifact. The second portion of this story was presented in the second season opener for Simon & Simon in an episode named Emeralds Are Not a Girl's Ideal Friend. In this scene The Simons are about to steal the Ki'i statue from Higgins… Subtitles are Dutch.

Simon & Simon
Simon & Simon è una serie che racconta di un agenzia investigativa privata,con Gerald McRaney and Jameson Parker. Simon & Simon is a 1980s detective series starring Gerald McRaney and Jameson Parker.Originally a 1978 pilot called Pirate's Key set in Florida, when the show was picked up by CBS, the characters' home was changed from Florida to San Diego, California where the show's storyline remained for the course of its eight year run 1981 to 1989 on CBS.The show was almost cancelled in 1982 before it was scheduled to run after Magnum, PI This brought its ratings up and allowed it to run for many years. Simon & Simon actually had a crossover with Magnum, PI, on the Magnum double episode "Ki's Don't Lie" and in the Simon & Simon episode "Emeralds Are Not a Girl's Best Friend" (both in 1982).The show revolves around polar opposite brothers Rick (McRaney) and AJ (for "Andrew Jackson") Simon (Parker). Rick was a Vietnam United States Marine Corps veteran and had much more street sense, while AJ went to college and had book smarts. Rick preferred things that were viewed by his brother as lower-class, like pickup trucks (Rick's Dodge Power Wagon is notable for its dull paint and large metal bumper used in one episode to crush the engine of a car), while AJ took care of his money and could afford to be more fashionable (AJ often drove a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, and later, a Chevrolet Camaro Z28). Rick lived on a boat in AJ's yard. AJ preferred to first try to do …

FS-Cache and FUSE for Media Playback QoS
The FS-Cache Project works with network filesystems like NFS to maintain a local on-disk cache of network files. The project is split into a kernel module (fscache) and a dæmon (cachefilesd), which help to maintain the disk cache. The local on-disk cache is maintained under a directory on a local filesystem. For example, the /var/fscache directory on the ext3 filesystem /var. The filesystem containing the fscache directory must have the ability to use Extended Attributes (EAs). Such filesystems are quite common and include ext3 and xfs.
Early Fedora Core 6 kernel RPMs contained the fscache kernel module. Unfortunately, around version 2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 of the updated kernels, the module was no longer included. Fedora 7 kernels do not include the kernel module. Hopefully in the future, this module will be available again in standard Fedora kernels. The Fedora Core 6 update kernel 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 has an FS-Cache patch included, but it does not include the kernel module.
Patches are available for the Linux kernel for the FS-Cache kernel module (see Resources).
The cachefilesd dæmon communicates with the kernel module using either a file in /proc (/proc/fs/cachefiles) or a device file (/dev/cachefiles). Version 0.7 and earlier versions of cachefilesd could communicate only via the proc file; Version 0.8 also can use the device file if it is available with fallback to the proc file.
For Fedora Core 6 and Fedora 7, there is a cachefilesd RPM. Installation without package management should be fairly easy also, as the dæmon mainly consists of a single executable and a configuration file (/etc/cachefilesd.conf).
The two main things that need to be set up in the configuration file are the path of the directory to use under which to store the filesystem cache and options for controlling how much space is acceptable to use on the filesystem containing the cache directory. You also can supply a tag for the cache if you want to have multiple local disk caches operating at the same time.
The space constraints all have acceptable defaults, so the cache directory is the only configuration option you need to pay attention to. Make sure that this directory is acceptable for storing caches and that it exists prior to trying to start cachefilesd. For a media PC, using a directory on a Flash memory card or on a RAM disk is a good option.
Because the cache directory must have extended attributes, and your tmpfs might not include support for them, you may have to create an ext3 filesystem in a single file inside your tmpfs filesystem and then use the embedded ext3 filesystem for the cachefilesd path. The ext3 filesystem inside the single file happily will support extended attributes. Because the whole ext3 filesystem is in a single file on a RAM disk, it will not cause distracting disk IO on the media PC.
The fstab entry in Listing 1 sets up both a 64MB of RAM filesystem and the mountpoint for the embedded ext3 filesystem. The commands shown in Listing 2 set up the embedded ext3 filesystem. As the cache.ext3fs filesystem exists only in RAM, you have to add these commands to your /etc/rc.local or a suitable boot-time script to set up the cache directory after a reboot. This script has to be called before cachefilesd is started. Leaving cachefilesd out of your standard init run-level startups and starting it manually from the rc.local just after you set up the cache.ext3fs embedded filesystem is a good solution.
If the cache directory is on a persistent filesystem, such as /var, set cachefilesd to start automatically, as shown in Listing 3.
Listing 1. Using a RAM Disk to Store the Local fscache On-Disk Cache
tmpfs /var/fscache tmpfs size=64m,user,user_xattr 0 0 /var/fscache/cache.ext3fs /var/fscache/cache ↪ext3 loop=/dev/loop1,user_xattr,noauto 0 0
Listing 2. Setting Up the Embedded ext3 Filesystem
# mount /var/fscache # cd /var/fscache # dd if=/dev/zero of=cache.ext3fs \ bs=1024 count=65536 # mkfs.ext3 -F cache.ext3fs # mount cache.ext3fs
Listing 3. Starting the cachefilesd Dæmon and Setting It to Auto-Start Next Boot
$ su -l # service cachefilesd start # chkconfig cachefilesd on
The space constraints in the configuration file are used to set the percentage of available blocks and files on the filesystem containing the local cache directory that should be used. For each of these two resource types, there are three thresholds: cull-off, cull-start and cache-off. When the cull-off limit is reached, no culling of the disk cache is performed, and when the cull-start limit is reached, culling of the disk cache begins. For example, for the disk block type constraint, setting cull-off at 20% and cull-start at 10% means that as long as the disk has more than 20% free blocks, nothing from the cache will be culled. Once the disk reaches 10% free blocks, cache culling begins to free up some space. If the disk manages to get to the cache-off limit (say, 5%), the cache will be disabled until there is more cache-off space available again.
The configuration options are prefixed with b for block type constraint and f for the files-available constraint. The configuration file has a slightly different naming method from that used above. For block constraints, the cull-off limit is called brun. For cull-start, the limit is called bcull, and cache-off is called bstop.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

ATLANTA -- Hunter Pence got a break Sunday at Turner Field, and it wasn't because a trade was imminent.
Manager Charlie Manuel started Laynce Nix in right field for the team's series finale against the Braves. Pence has nine hits in his last 59 at-bats (.153), although he has nine RBIs in that stretch. Keeping him out of the starting lineup Sunday means Pence will get a two-day break with no game scheduled Monday.
"I wanted to sit him down," Manuel said. "He's been trying. He tries real hard. He tries too hard. Let his mind take a break today and tomorrow."
Pence's name has circulated in trade rumors, but it is believed the Phillies would have to be compensated richly to move him. He remains under the team's control next season, and he is the team's only right-handed power bat other than Carlos Ruiz, who is having a career year. If the club trades an outfielder before Tuesday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, Shane Victorino and Juan Pierre are more likely candidates.
Sunday was Nix's first start since rejoining the team after missing more than two months with a strained left calf muscle.
"I've got to play him," Manuel said.
Nix also entered the afternoon hitting .333 (7-for-21) with one home run and four RBIs in his career against Braves right-hander Tim Hudson.
Hot corner platoon features Frandsen in finale
ATLANTA -- The Phillies' third-base carousel continued Sunday.
Kevin Frandsen, who was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday, made his first start with the Phillies at third base in the series finale against the Braves at Turner Field. Mike Fontenot started there Friday and Ty Wigginton started there Saturday. The Phillies are trying to find somebody to man the position while Placido Polanco is on the disabled list with lower back inflammation.
In 197 big league games, Frandsen has played 52 at third base. He has a .958 fielding percentage while manning the hot corner and has committed just five errors in 119 chances.

I hope everyone had a great weekend if you had the opportunity to celebrate Good Friday and Easter with family and friends.
I had the pleasure of hosting three new friends at church on Sunday from Malaysia who are working for the Oklahoma House of Representatives under a fellowship program through the American Council of Young Political Leaders.
Adriene, Edward and Kia Meng will be here in Oklahoma for a month to learn about the state government system and will be working through my office on several research projects.
I hope to bring them around the district several times and they are looking forward to the Apache Rattlesnake Hunt in two weeks, as well as visiting many Oklahoma cultural events.
We were hit by some strange weather on Good Friday in Rush Springs. Several homes and businesses were hit, but fortunately no one was injured by the windstorm.
The National Weather Service has not declared what exactly hit, but it was something between a tornado and a microburst, a column of air which travels up to 150 miles per hour in a concentrated spot at the end of a thunderstorm.
The hail from the storm was about the size of golf balls.
We were fortunate that the businesses were closed at the time the storm hit at 6 a.m. The roof which was torn off the local café was right over where many of the breakfast crowd normally sat.
On Monday, we were honored to host the Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives.
Speaker Chris Benge and I authored a resolution to thank Larry Watkins, the recently retired president of the association for his years of service.
It was presented to Larry at the make-up of the annual banquet which was postponed due to power outages in much of the service area for the co-ops.
I also have a resolution filed to thank those workers for their efforts to restore power to our citizens during the January storms. By all indications, many areas were expected to be out much longer than was actually seen.
The men and women who were out in the cold weather working extra hours to repair poles, string line and restore power did not receive nearly the thanks they were due, but I am very thankful for the way many were treated by our neighbors and I have heard many compliments of the respect which was given to the out-of-state workers who were here to help.
There were several visitors to the Capitol last week. I had the chance to visit with delegations from each of the three Career Technology Centers which serve my legislative district. Students, faculty and administrators from Caddo-Kiowa, Canadian Valley and Great Plains Career Techs all sat down with me to discuss issues at the Capitol, and then I also was able to visit the Leadership Class at Canadian Valley in Chickasha the next day.
It is great to see how this continued education helps the students develop a career path and achieve certifications and advance training in many fields for employment.
There were several events which happened last week. We had a very successful chili cook-off for the local Grady County Volunteer Fire Departments in my district, along with the Chickasha Fire Department Honor Guard.
After the donations were tallied, we brought in $100 for each department. I expect next year will be even more successful as several of the Grady County legislators will partner together to make this a larger event.
I also had the chance to visit with school superintendents in Grady County and Comanche County to develop a YMCA Youth & Government program for their schools.
This will allow students to attend meetings at the State Capitol and develop ideas into mock legislation which they will have the chance to discuss and debate similar to state legislators. If you have any questions about this program, feel free to contact me as I serve on the State Board for Oklahoma.

Agriculture, energy sectors drive Oklahoma's economy
The two driving forces behind Oklahoma's economy are the agriculture and energy sectors. It is important that we at the legislature ensure that we are business friendly and available to listen and respond, so we maintain these key industries of our state.
Tourism big business in town
Your Chickasha Chamber of Commerce has a long tradition of recognizing Tourism as a driving "economic engine" for our city.
Tourism brought $6.1 Billion to Oklahoma in 2008, making it the state's third largest industry. The Chamber supports, both directly and with the Economic Development Council, events that bring excitement, people, and money into our city: money spent at motels, at restaurants, at convenience stores and other retail establishments.
Thanks for another term
I have to start off this week by thanking the voters of House District 65 for allowing me to serve another two years as your State Representative.
I was re-elected automatically last Wednesday at 5 pm due to no one else filing for the position.
Spill response flawed from start
Last week marked a sad milestone: 50 days since the explosion on British Petroleum's Deepwater Horizon rig triggered the oil spill that is still gushing out of control.
Session is officially over
These last few weeks were extremely hectic and stressful as we worked to get a budget deal together. At the beginning of last week, we had around 215 bills still working their way through the process.

FSFE Seeks to Protect Licenses from Bankruptcy
Free Software licenses could face legal challenges in some European jurisdictions.
The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is working to protect Free Software licenses from bankruptcy. In a statement released this week, the FSFE said, "It is not entirely clear what can happen to the Free Software licenses that were granted by rights holders either before or after they went bankrupt. This lack of clear rules could greatly endanger functioning of the Free Software, which depends on the contributions from numerous rights holders."
According to the statement, when the companies or authors that license Free Software enter bankruptcy, there is a risk that granted Free Software licenses will face legal challenges in some jurisdictions, and the FSFE is currently working to prevent this situation in Germany.
The FSFE website states that, some time ago, the German Ministry of Justice published an initiative to improve the regulation of licenses during the insolvency proceedings. So, the Institute for Legal Questions on Free and Open Source Software (ifrOSS), supported by FSFE, prepared a suggestion of the Free Software clause that "ensures that Free Software licensing model would not be negatively affected by a bankruptcy of a licensing rights holder." Under the clause, any offer to grant Free Software license made before the licensor's bankruptcy can be accepted by anyone even after bankruptcy proceedings have started.

Compared to the continent of Europe, the rate of death by guns in America is six times higher. You wouldn't know it based on the current wave of crime films from that half of the globe. Arguably kicked off by the worldwide success of Sweden's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, the movies generally are ballsier and bloodier and, therefore, better.

% Body Fat Testing
America's height and weight charts are not the most accurate way to determine your ideal body weight. To establish a realistic weight goal, your percent body fat needs to be determined. Your percent body fat will be determined by the use of the Bod Pod! The Bod Pod measures one's percentage of body fat via air displacement. This procedure is fast, easy, and accurate. The process takes approximately 30 minutes.
For additional information, contact Robyn Powers, Health & Sport Science Administrative Assistant, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 937-229-4225.
Who can participate?
All full- and part-time faculty and staff members as well as retirees of the
Additional program requirements include RecPlex Membership for select activities and medical release forms.
RecPlex Membership
In order to participate in Wellness Program personal training, a membership to the RecPlex must be purchased. Please contact Teresa Galvin at 229-2731 for membership prices and payment options.
Medical Release Forms
A MEDICAL RELEASE from your physician, on your physician's letterhead, is REQUIRED for everyone registered for the Wellness Program activity classes. A current medical release is required for the first day of class. This medical release is considered valid one year from its issuance. Please note that you will not be permitted to participate without a medical release. There will be absolutely no exceptions to this.
The question is frequently raised whether a medical examination is advisable before commencing a training program. Certainly anyone who is doubtful about his state of health should consult a physician. In principle, however, there is less risk in activity than in continuous inactivity. In a nutshell, our opinion is that it is more advisable to pass a careful medical examination if one intends to be sedentary in order to establish whether one's state of health is good enough to stand the inactivity! (Astrand, Per-Olof and Kaare Rodahl. Textbook of Work Physiology. New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1970, p. 608.)

Sayeeda Hussain Warsi, Baroness Warsi PC (Urdu: سعیده حسین وارثی, born 28 March 1971) is a British solicitor and politician of Pakistani origin who was created a life peer in 2007. From May 2010 to September 2012 she was the Co-Chairman of the Conservative Party, along with Lord Feldman, and a Minister without Portfolio in David Cameron's Cabinet. She was the first Muslim to serve in a British Cabinet, the third Muslim minister and the first female Muslim to serve as a minister in the United Kingdom, although she never won an election. On 4 September 2012, she was appointed Senior Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Minister for Faith and Communities.[1]

Early life and career[edit]
Baroness Warsi was the second of five daughters born in Dewsbury, West Riding of Yorkshire, in 1971, to Pakistani immigrants from Bewal, Gujar Khan. She is of the Jat caste, her ancestors being from southern Pakistan. Her father, Safdar Hussain,[2] after starting life as a mill worker, operates a bed manufacturing company, which has a turnover of £2 million a year. Warsi has said that her father's success led her to adopting Conservative principles.[3]
Warsi was educated at Birkdale High School, Dewsbury College, and the University of Leeds, where she read Law. She attended The College of Law (now The University of Law), York to complete her legal practice training and thereafter with both the Crown Prosecution Service and the Home Office Immigration Department.
After qualifying as a solicitor, she worked for the last Conservative MP for Dewsbury, John Whitfield, at Whitfield Hallam Goodall Solicitors and then set up a practice in Dewsbury.
Political career[edit]
Warsi was the unsuccessful Conservative parliamentary candidate for Dewsbury at the 2005 general election, becoming the first Muslim woman to be selected by the Conservatives. During the election campaign she was criticised for election literature which was described as "homophobic" by the gay equality group Stonewall.[4] She served as a special adviser to Michael Howard on community relations, and was appointed by David Cameron as vice chairman of the Conservative Party with specific responsibility for cities.
Life peer[edit]
On 2 July 2007, Warsi was appointed Shadow Minister for Community Cohesion.[5] To take up the post, she was created a life peer as Baroness Warsi, of Dewsbury in the County of West Yorkshire, on 11 October 2007 and was introduced in the House of Lords on 15 October 2007.[6] On joining the House of Lords, she became its youngest member.[7]
On 1 December 2007, Warsi travelled to Khartoum, with the Labour peer Lord Ahmed, to mediate in the Sudanese teddy bear blasphemy case (a British citizen teaching at Unity High School had been prosecuted and jailed for insulting Islam after allowing her class to name a teddy bear Muhammed). Although the peers' meeting with Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir did not lead directly to Gillian Gibbons being pardoned, it is acknowledged that, along with the enormous efforts made by her family, friends, and others, it was a helpful contribution to her release. Gibbons' son thanked Warsi and Ahmed for "their hard work behind the scenes" and the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, praised both peers, saying "I applaud the particular efforts of Lord Ahmed and Baroness Warsi in securing her freedom." The left-leaning Guardian newspaper referred to the incident as "Tory Peer's Triumph".[8][9]
In Government[edit]
Minister without portfolio[edit]
On 12 May 2010, David Cameron appointed Baroness Warsi as Minister without portfolio in Cabinet, when she succeeded Eric Pickles as chairman of the Conservative Party. The appointment made Warsi the first Muslim woman to serve in the Cabinet.[10]
She was sworn of the Privy Council on 13 May 2010.[11]
Cabinet reshuffle[edit]
Ahead of David Cameron's first cabinet reshuffle, Warsi told the Daily Telegraph: "If I genuinely had a choice, I would like to stay doing what I'm doing." Speaking in Tampa Bay, Florida, where she had been attending the Republican Party convention, Lady Warsi said the Prime Minister knew her strengths and weaknesses. She said the party needed more votes from people in urban areas and more women. She said: "If you look at the demographics, at where we need to be at the next election, we need more people in the North voting for us, more of what they call here blue collar workers and I call the white working class. We need more people from urban areas voting for us, more people who are not white and more women. I play that back and think, I'm a woman, I'm not white, I'm from an urban area, I'm from the North, I'm working class - I kind of fit the bill. All the groups that we're aiming for are groups that I'm familiar with. I believe you've got to have the right people in the right job," she added.[12]
In the same interview she said that she was angry to be viewed "as a tokenistic appointment". Lord Ashcroft found "At the 2010 election, only 16% of ethnic minority voters supported the Conservatives. More than two thirds voted Labour1. Not being white was the single best predictor that somebody would not vote Conservative. The gulf between the Conservative Party and ethnic minorities is a well-known feature of British politics. It persists in spite of the Tories' efforts in recent years to reach beyond their core voters." [13]
In the event, on 4 September 2012 Warsi was shuffled to the new post of "Senior Minister of State" in the Foreign Office and Minister for Faith and Communities (the latter being a role she shadowed in opposition). Warsi announced she had been removed as Party Chairman via twitter, tweeting, "It's been a privilege and an honour to serve my party as co-chairman, signing off @ToryChairman".[14]
Minister in UK[edit]
Senior Minister of State[edit]
At the Foreign Office she is responsible for: • Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh • central Asia • human rights • UN, OIC, International Organisations and the International Criminal Court • all FCO business in the House of Lords.[15]
At the Department for Communities and Local Government she works with religious and community leaders to promote faith, religious tolerance and stronger communities within the UK.[16]
Islamic Finance[edit]
Baroness Warsi established and co-Chaired the UK Government's first Ministerial Task Force on Islamic Finance.[17] She said that the industry worth around $1.85 trillion (£1.15 trillion) globally, with growth rates of up to 15 per cent each year. She argued "with billions of pounds in reported assets, and with the world's financial capital, the UK is an increasingly important global player in Islamic finance". Iconic buildings like London's Shard have been given life with the help of Islamic finance, and London is home to a growing number of banks, law firms and other service providers with expertise in the sector. Added to this she argued "is Britain's wider business offer. From our legal system and regulatory framework, to our time-zone and track record of innovation, the UK is rightly seen as a partner of choice". She said the UK Government was determined to play its part in the development of the Islamic finance market. This is why the Prime Minister announced that we want to become the first country outside the Islamic world to issue an Islamic bond, a sukuk. She argues Britain is "a first class destination for trade and investment" and she is determined to "cement Britain's position as the leading player for Islamic finance".[18]
Her vision of an 'Islamic Finance economy that never sleeps" has struck a chord by the industry.[19] At the World Islamic Economic Forum, the UK Government announced that Baroness Warsi will chair a new Global Islamic Finance and Investment Group. The Group will include members from key Islamic finance centres, including Chief Executives and Central Bank Governors. It will meet regularly to identify and address the critical factors that will drive the global Islamic finance market over the next 5 years. Bringing together senior experts and practitioners from industry and governments the group will consider the issues surrounding Islamic finance and how best to work together to promote its development.[20]
Persecution of Christians and Minorities[edit]
At a speech in Washington DC, Baroness Warsi stated, "There are parts of the world today where to be a Christian is to put your life in danger. From continent to continent, Christians are facing discrimination, ostracism, torture, even murder, simply for the faith they follow".[21]
She called it a "global crisis", and made the case for an international response. She called for a "cross-faith, cross-continent unity on this issue – for a response which isn't itself sectarian. Because a bomb going off in a Pakistani church shouldn't just reverberate through Christian communities; it should stir the world".[21]
Gay rights[edit]
The gay rights organisation Stonewall, as well as several Labour politicians, questioned her suitability for a high-profile Conservative Party role owing to leaflets issued during her 2005 election campaign that contained views which they claimed were homophobic. Some of her 2005 campaign leaflets claimed that Labour's lowering of the homosexual age of consent from 18 to 16 (under the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 2000) was "allowing schoolchildren to be propositioned for homosexual relationships",[22] and that homosexuality was being "peddled" to children as young as seven in schools.[23]
Speaking in December 2013 at a BNP Paribas event in support for the Kaleidoscope Trust, she apologised for her leaflets and said she was 'on the wrong side of history' on gay rights[24]
Warsi abstained in the vote over the second reading of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill in the House of Lords.[25]
In discussing immigration, Warsi said that people who back the British National Party (BNP) may have a point: "They have some very legitimate views. People who say, 'we are concerned about crime and justice in our communities – we are concerned about immigration in our communities'".[26][27] On 22 October 2009, Warsi represented the Conservatives on a controversial edition of Question Time marking the first ever appearance of Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP.[28] During that broadcast she strongly criticised the BNP, and when directly asked whether she was in favour of civil partnerships, replied, "I think that people who want to be in a relationship together, in the form of a civil partnership, absolutely have the right to do that."[29]
On 30 November 2009, she was pelted with eggs by a group of Muslims whilst on a walkabout in Luton. The protesters accused her of not being a proper Muslim and of supporting the death of Muslims in Afghanistan. Warsi told the BBC that the men were "idiots who did not represent the majority of British Muslims". She later continued her walkabout with a police escort.[30] In May 2010, British radical Islamic preacher Anjem Choudary warned that she could be in physical danger if she visited Muslim communities. He said she would be attacked by eggs every time she went near a Muslim community and some protesters may take the attacks further, because he did not view her as a Muslim and could not represent Islam or any Muslim due to her support of the military involvement of the British Army in some Muslim countries.[31]
In the context of the United Kingdom debate over veils, a Tory MP tried to ban women from wearing burqas in public in 2010. Warsi responded that the garment does not limit women from engaging in everyday life. Amidst critics who say the burqa is divisive and has no place in British society, she argued that the choice of what to wear should be down to the individual.[32]
Lady Warsi argued against following the example of France and banning Muslim women from wearing the veil as this was "not the British way" she said "that allowing people wear what they want was the basis of a free society". She added: "I think I would be as offended if I was told 'actually you must wear a miniskirt to work because that's that we like women to wear' as I would be if somebody came to me and said 'we want you to be covered from head to toe because that's what we like woman to wear'."
But she also insisted that those who choose to wear garments such as full-face veil must accept that there are some situations in which it is not appropriate and some jobs they might not be able to do.[33]
She was supported in her position by her colleague, Immigration Minister, Damian Green who said banning the face veil would be "un-British" and would be at odds with the UK's "tolerant and mutually respectful society".[34]
Church and society[edit]
In September 2010, during the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to England and Scotland, Baroness Warsi said the Labour government appeared to have viewed religion as "essentially a rather quaint relic of our pre-industrial history. They were also too suspicious of faith's potential for contributing to society – behind every faith-based charity, they sensed the whiff of conversion and exclusivity. And because of these prejudices they didn't create policies to unleash the positive power of faith in our society."[35] She returned to this theme, as a cabinet minister, in February 2012, saying "Britain is under threat from a rising tide of militant secularisation", before an official visit to the Vatican to mark the 30th anniversary of the re-establishment of full diplomatic ties between Britain and the Vatican.[36] She went on to say, "I am not calling for some kind of 21st century theocracy. Religious faith and its followers do not have the only answer. There will be times when politicians and faith leaders will disagree. What is more, secularism is not intrinsically damaging. My concern is when secularisation is pushed to an extreme, when it requires the complete removal of faith from the public sphere".[37] While she herself is a Muslim, she says that Europe needs to be "more confident and more comfortable in its Christianity".[36]
On the Church of England, she insists she had "no doubts whatsoever" about maintaining its position as the Established Church. Describing the CofE as a "bedrock" of society. She believes "the system works". "We have an Established Church", it has "a unique position" an "obligation to all of its parishioners irrespective of their faith". She thinks "it is an incredibly positive aspect of our life in Britain and long may it continue." [38]
In November 2013, Lady Warsi, told an audience at the University of Cambridge, that Faith was being put back at the "heart of government," as it was under Sir Winston Churchill and Baroness Thatcher. The Coalition she argued, is one of the "most pro-faith governments in the West,". "More often than not, people who do God do good." She said that religious groups must be allowed to provide public services without the state being "suspicious of their motives". Quoting Margaret Thatcher she said 'I wonder whether the State services would have done as much for the man who fell among thieves as the Good Samaritan did for him?' [38]
Roger Helmer defection[edit]
In March 2012, Baroness Warsi was criticised by a number of Conservative MPs at a meeting of the 1922 Committee for her handling of MEP Roger Helmer's defection to UKIP. A witness of the meeting said, "She had a very very tough time. She got it with both barrels from MPs across the party. For the party chairman to get treated like that shows what people think of the party chairman." Another is reported to have said "I just thought she was out of her depth. I have never seen anything like it – other than the last time she was before the 1922. I genuinely think she is the worst chairman we have ever had."[39]
One MP said it did "nothing for morale" when colleagues attacked the party chairman, while a Conservative spokesman said Baroness Warsi had acted "entirely correctly and properly" over the Helmer situation.[citation needed] They added: "The rules are perfectly clear. At the time Roger had not resigned, therefore there was no vacancy. Before there was a vacancy we could not select a candidate."[citation needed]
Financial declarations[edit]
In May 2012, Warsi apologised for failing to declare rental income in the House of Lords register of interests. Declaring the fact of income, but not the amount, is necessary for rental income over ₤5,000.[40]
Parliamentary expenses inquiry[edit]
On 27 May 2012, criticisms of her claims for parliamentary expenses were reported. The Labour Opposition urged a full police investigation into her expenses after it was alleged that she claimed up to £2,000 in despite staying rent-free in the London home of a Conservative Party donor, Dr Wafik Moustafa. Moustafa claims that he received no money from Warsi. Though he stated it was not personal, Moustafa was in a political dispute with Warsi concerning the Conservative Arab Network.[41]
Labour MP John Mann intended to refer the claims to the Lords Commissioner for Standards, but Warsi pre-empted this by referring them herself.[42]
Warsi was ultimately cleared by the Commissioner for Standards in July 2012.[43]
Breach of the Ministerial Code[edit]
Sir Alex Allan found Warsi to have committed two breaches the Ministerial Code, though he concluded they were minor and noted that she had apologised. The first was in relation to a trip to Pakistan where she failed to declare that she was being accompanied by a business partner but Sir Alex found that even if Lady Warsi had declared the relationship it would not have prevented the trip from going ahead. The second was when she invited her business partner (Abid Hussain) to meet David Cameron at a number 10 Downing Street Eid event.[44]
The Conservative Party leadership was criticised in some quarters for holding Baroness Warsi to account on the Ministerial Code while apparently having a more relaxed approach to Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt.[45]
Following the publication of the report, David Cameron said Baroness Warsi would be keeping her job.[44]
Personal life[edit]
At age 15, when on holiday with her extended family in Pakistan,[46] a number of boys were introduced to her, and from them she chose Naeem. In 1990 Warsi married her cousin Naeem in an arranged marriage, and had one daughter Aamna. Her husband, Naeem, later denied that their marriage was arranged.[47][48][49] She describes herself as a "Northern working-class mum".[50] She and her first husband divorced in December 2007.
On 20 August 2009, she married Iftikhar Azam in a Nikah ceremony at her parents' house in Dewsbury. They live in Wakefield with their five children.[49]

Here's an update on what my senior project looks like. There are 3 poles missing because they broke while we were wrapping them the other day and we are waiting for them to be remade so we can wrap them. That obviously isn't the whole thing but it give an idea of what it kind of will look like.
Flux Capacitor? (I couldn't resist!)

When I use Photoshop to edit an image, and I "save for website", there is this window that is too big for my screen to show properly.
I'm wondering what solutions are there (I can't resize that window)
That window cannot be re-sized, you really need to be running at a higher resolution. I'm guessing that's not really an option, though, so instead just auto-hide your Windows Task Bar:
That way you'll be able to see the contents of that window in Photoshop.
Just drag the image around so you can check all of it. The "Save for website" feature is not designed for large images. (For larger images you can preview what the output will look like by making sure the "Preview" checkbox is ticked when saving as .JPG, etc.)
Hope that's clear. In short: You can't resize that window, you have to drag the image around in it with the Hand tool.
Yes it is related to the resolution in a lower/higher resolution it may not appear.
I used another trick,
And then you can easily see the SAVE button and other things.
Looks like all you have left is the real estate the windows taskbar is using. Maybe the auto-hide will give you enough. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Show-or-hide-the-taskbar
Sadly, Adobe made that window a bit big for your resolution.
Assuming you're using Windows 7, you can press the ⊞ Win + ⇧ Shift + ↑. This will stretch the window to the top and bottom of the screen.
Change your screen resolution to a higher number.
This window can't be changed or resized because it's a dialog box opened after clicking Save for web devices.
When you select this option you can't edit anything in the back, so this window comes up for saving your image with optimizations.
There is nothing you can do about the resolution or anything else. It's normal.
I have the same problem and it is because of the screen resolution and I have never ran across any way to fix it. For me however, I just look and make sure the part that I can see has the settings right, I make sure when I put it all together things were good to go, so then despite not seeing the save button, it is already highlighted and only requires I hit the enter button. Thats been working for me anyway.
