Some of the world's most talented musicians have played concerts at Lincoln Center. On September 10, the center hosted a unique class of star musicians: Kids and teens.
The young players are part of the World Peace Orchestra, or WPO. The group held its inaugural, or first, Music for Peace concert in New York City, with 134 students from more than 60 countries taking part. Musicians were selected from all over the world, including conflict regions like Iraq, Uganda, and Ethiopia.
Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey introduced the orchestra and spoke about the concert's theme. "Tonight we will see and hear evidence that while countries may go to war it is culture that unites us," Spacey said. Culture is expressed through the arts, such as music, dance, and writing.
A Peaceful History
The World Peace Orchestra began in 2013. The nonprofit group brings kids together using the common language of music. To be considered for the orchestra, students first had to be recommended by their teachers and then audition online for a panel of judges. Once chosen, professional musicians and teachers then worked with the players to improve their skills.
Some of the young musicians play classical instruments, such as violins and flutes. Others play instruments unique to their home country. For example, Arnold Mugo, 16, from Kenya, plays a percussion instrument called the djembé. The drum is originally from West Africa. Mugo says he was shocked when he learned he was selected for the orchestra. "I can't express how I felt. I was rolling on the floor," he told TFK. "It's a once in a lifetime opportunity."
The student musicians arrived in New York in August to begin practicing for the big performance. For many of them, including Mugo, the program marks their first trip to the United States. "My country has big buildings but everything here is supersize," Mugo told TFK. "It's so amazing."
Meet The Musicians
Adomas Hendrixson, 13, from Lithuania, plays piano for the WPO. Before the New York City performance, Hendrixson spoke to TFK about what he hoped to take away from the event. "Fun and joy—people smiling and clapping," he said. "This is one of the only times in your life this could happen and I'm very excited."
Mugo says his favorite part of the WPO is making new friends from around the world. "I hope when I go home, I just take a little bit of every friend that I made here—Brazil, Portugal, Queens," Mugo told TFK. "I hope that I take part of their culture home with me so I understand them more."
WPO spokesperson Scott Noppe-Brandon says the goal is for students to use the lessons learned from the orchestra to encourage other young people. "Regardless of what country you're from, regardless of your age, ethnicity, or background," he told TFK. "Music plays a role in all our lives."

BIOTEC's Tuberculosis DNA-dipstick test kit won the gold medal at the Seoul International Invention Fair 2012
Singapore: A tuberculosis test kit and a bioremediation agent from Thailand won the gold prize and semi-grand prize, respectively, at the Seoul International Invention Fair 2012. Both inventions are the collaborative work between BIOTEC and partner institutes.
DNA-dipstick test kit for diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was developed by the faculty of medicine at Srinakharinwirot University in collaboration with Ms Wansika Kiatpathomchai and colleagues at Center of Excellence for Shrimp Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, BIOTEC.
The detection device, a combination of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique and lateral flow dipsticks, is designed for rapid diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with high sensitivity and specificity. It can be used as an alternative to traditional method which takes a longer detection time and requires expensive equipment and imported reagents.
Bioremediation agent KEEEN is a commercial product of Grimm Environmental and Research. It originated from a joint research between Hi-Grimm Environmental and Research and BIOTEC and is designed to screen for oil-degrading bacteria to develop into a commercial bioremediation product.
Leading BIOTEC research team on this project was Dr Somkiet Techkarnjanaruk. KEEEN offers a variety of products targeting at various industries such as petrochemical industry, automobile industry, food industry, hotels and hospitals. They can be applied to various types of services such as wastewater and sanitary treatment, oil spill response and cleanup, site contaminated and remediation service and oil storage tank degassing and cleaning.

text: it's a trip to read raph's overview of advogato and think about the experience of using advogato. for him, it's an immersive experiment with implications as to how he sees applied mathematics. it's a microcosm of humanity and relationships. i remember coming to advogato and thinking, "oh, so people rate each others' progress and the goal is to get to the top." so i forage in, rating entire villages with casual glances at their worth. my judgements were all based on the diary entries. one user who magnetized me was ReadMe. i could appreciate the verse. i rated him/her, he/she rated me equally. apparently it's ReadMe's standing policy. the problem with rating based on writing is that your trust network builds around a loose group of writers who can appreciate each other, but don't really know each other or communicate at all. nothing to build much trust on. then i joined the yaml project and noticed that cce keeps a diary here. knowing clark from yaml development, we rated each other based on a deeper knowledge of each other's skills. clark's rating me as journeyer is meaningful in a way that other ratings simply aren't. so then i begin to see advogato through raph's eyes. the trust metric diagrams make more sense in context. so here's a suggestion for building trust on advogato: (someone should write a guide) build trust with individuals you trust in life. bring them to advogato and rate each other, link to each other. your team's real trust in each other should translate into trust metrics here. of course, you will then need to seek trust from the good nodes of advogato. i don't know if receiving trust from stragglers on recentlog (such as myself) will pollute your value. i'd seek other masters and journeyers online who work on related projects and could see the value of your work. e-mail them? tell them you're seeking trust on advogato and are looking for peer review? or pitch in on one of their projects and prove your worth. (it looks like alan has got this sort of idea going on with his mother certifying him. and as fun as it would be to certify a first-grader, i should probably avoid spreading my compromised status until i find a way out. :D) it's hard to say how much value being a master on advogato actually holds at this time, though. you don't accumulate services or access beyond the rating itself. i'm not saying the rating doesn't hold value on its own, it's just easier for me to rate other people high because i say to myself, "well, it's just a rating." i guess the beauty of the system is that advogato likely considers me a compromised node since i've had such a lackadaisical approach to certifying. good luck on the talk, raph. twould be fun to attend. and congrats to bytesplit for being the anomaly.

Well not exactly the title to that song.. but its raining here in the great NW and I want to get out and work with my new Hennessy Hammock. My oldest son and I bought Hennessy Hammocks yesterday. For those of you that went to Jambo.. you saw them there. Hennessy Hammocks had a nice display set up all week. There was even a Troop that used them for the entire Jamboree. You can read about that here. A replacement to our conventional tents and a great alternative when trying to leave no trace. Hammocks leave absolutely no footprint, and with the tree huggers that are provided, there is no damage to the trees.
As with all my gear, I probably over research things and check as many reviews as possible to find just the right brand and type of gear. We came to the conclusion that breaking into the world of Hammock Camping (a great addition to the Backpack), the Hennessy was the way to go. We purchased the Hennessy Expedition. My son bought the standard, velcro bottom entry, while I decided on the A-sym zip. That is a full zipper entry into the hammock. I like this style as it is more tent like and easier for my old body to get in and out of.. and it makes a great camp chair for lounging before its time to hit the rack.
Here are things that I really like about the hammock. Keep in mind I have yet to sleep in it.. but all reviews say it is the best nights sleep you will ever have camping. And consistent sleep too, the same hang every time, no matter where you are. Anyway. I like the no see'um mess bug net. Totally encloses the hammock for a bug free zone. I love that when you lay in it.. you are flat. I was concerned that you would wake up looking like a banana. I like the rain fly or canopy. Light weight and plenty big. I like that when you lay in the hammock there are no pressure points. You can role and lay on your side, stomach, or back.. I like to kind of ball up when I sleep. Couple my Big Agnes sleeping bag and the hammock, and I am looking at some great sleeping out in the woods.
My wife asked about what to if there are no trees. Well up here, we don't have that problem. But even in central Oregon when we are Rock climbing, I can using climbing rigging to hang the hammock.. or put in on the ground like a tent, using my trekking poles to elevate the ends.
There is a built in ridge line inside the hammock for storage and it maintains the hammock's shape as it hangs. There is no drooping of the bug net or rain fly with the ridge line.
All in I am excited about getting out in the woods with it. Yesterday we set it up in the backyard, but the rain started and I took it down, I did get to lay in it for a few minutes. Enough to tease me into wanting more.
So today its raining (again)… so we are tweeking the hammocks a bit. The way it comes is good, but a few tweeks here and there make everything better. For example. The recommended set up is using the tree huggers and tying a series of knots to hang the hammock. I modified the huggers using a carabiner and rappel rings. I saw it online and it works great. We also bought some 550 cord (paracord) to add an additional ridge line specifically for the rain fly. This will allow us to hang the rain fly a little higher than designed. I think this will be advantageous when dealing with condensation.
I will do a full review after I get a night sleep in it. It will going into the pack for many nights of use stating at the April camp out with my Troop.
Today for #100daysofscouting..
I worked on my camping gear.
Shot out some emails, one to the Troop historian and a few others.
Talked on the phone with a Scouter from the Silver Beaver nominating committee (can't tell).
Worked on the blog.
Recorded a new ad for PTC (excited about this one).
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Megan Fox Reluctantly Joins Twitter
Megan Fox is finally up on the times, in terms of social media!
TheÃÂ This Is 40ÃÂ star finally decided to join the social networking site, but she's a little hesitant about using it.
"Against my better judgment, I have finally joined Twitter," the actress, 26, announced on her Facebook page Thursday, Jan. 3. "Every possible version of my name is already in use so for now my Twitter handle is https://twitter.com/MeganFox516. See you there."
Against her better judgement? Then why'd you join, girl?
Anyhow, soon after she posted that, she got her coveted and simple twitter handle, MeganFox, so that's one less thing to voluntarily complain about.ÃÂ Fox's first tweet was… "'m incredibly late to the party but I'm here nonetheless, so what now?"
Charming! Of course, the star had 50,000 followers by her second tweet, an obvious ode to motherhood.ÃÂ It read, "Hello twitter. How is everyones day going? 7:30 a.m. and we've watched 'A Bugs Life' twice . . . so mine has been action packed as per usual."

hope they dont check up on your membership to the democrat party for those offenses haha.
I was born and raised in California, but have not lived here since 1970. Just back now spending 3 mos in So Calif for medical treatment as a few of you know now. It is amaizing the noticable changes in the demongraphics while I've been absent. Southern Cal is over run with Mexicans. Border patrol is out in force along the borders of Cal and AZ. While I am sure that a great many of the Mexicans are hard working and legal, paying taes, etc, I' m also sure that a lot are illegals. As a demo, I also do not like the statistics cited refering to the expenses of us tax payers having to support all the illegals. Hope we can do something about it soon. Bud

"Your life today is a result of your attitude and the decisions you made yesterday. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitude and the decisions you make today." unknown
My wife of 36 years is from Mexico (came legally 38 years ago) and is now a 'Nationalized Citizen'. I am fluent in Spanish and watch most of my news on the Spanish speaking stations. Her sister and brother-in-law (who we rarely speak to) had 19 children, (21 pregnancies)....of those 19 children, 16 are currently living in the US (entering illegally). All but three of those 16 are on social programs of one type or another. One of the three in Mexico is only there because he is wanted for murder in L.A. Now here is the real kicker....two years ago, somehow, one of the 'sister-in-law's' children was able to get both of her parents on Social Security and Medicaid. Keep in mind that they had never set foot in the US in their life and they now receive $700.00 a month for life EACH!!! They come to the US once every six months to maintain some sort of legal status and receive medical care. You pay for this and I'm positive that this is not an unusual case.

Did anyone see him yelling at Pat and at John?!
He called John a liar and a creep.
Wow, i didnt know Lawrence had so much anger within him.
It's a good thing hes NOT a democrat or else he'd really be upset and would probably rip Pat's head off and plant his seed in the orifice where pat's head once stood.
Lawrence O'Donnell: Registered Independent
Edited to add:
You can watch the repeat of this episode at 3am est. on MSNBC.
What are you talking about? It would help to have some context.. I missed Scarbourough Country.. was he filling in?
It was during Scarborough country he was one of the panelist and John O'Neill was the other.
Pat was filling in.
OMG most of my family and I were watching it. That was some of the BEST TV ever!
I do not think he used the word "LIAR" enough times!
I know this.. I want to know what happened.. What was said, what was the topic, what happened?
More "Swift Boat" ads
The head of the swifties was on because they have bought 5 million dollars of ad time for the last days of the election to sink Kerry, and before he could reply to the question he was asked O'Donnell basically flew into a loud, incoherent diatribe about how he and the swifties were liars. In fact he said "you are a kreepy little liars". He basically wouldn't let the guy respond until the 2nd segment and even then he still got in another 15 "liars" in there. This from a guy who says he is an IND.Originally Posted by SkapePhin
It was GREAT TV man.
I thought of you while making this thread ohall.
I think we need more Lawrence O'Donnell's on television...for the comic relief.
I mean, he was so loud and angry he made Pat Buchanon look like Joe Lieberman.
Probably the most amusing 25 minutes i've seen in a long time.

I have a litter due this weekend and want to tattoo them for a couple reasons.
Who has used one?
Pros and cons.
The pain of regret is much worse than the pain of hard work.
I used tattoos before microchips and hated it. It is terrible to close the pliers hard enough to make the impression and hear the ear cartilage crunch and the puppies scream.
I have a pliers and two sets of numbers and letters I will sell cheap : )
This has been a big issue I our local news after someone saw a local hog hunter had his dogs tattooed. What an uproar by the local press. Luckily several local vets backed the guy saying it is a common and acceptable way to mark a dog.
PI have never done it, but it use to be very common back in the day and I have known many dogs that had tats.

We tattoo all of our pups at around 7 weeks. No big deal. They yipe when you close the pliers and then it's over. We use the Ketchum brand tattoo plier and letters which I ordered through the Canadian Kennel Club, I'm sure there are other places to get them as I think the same size unit is used for rabbit tattoos (so maybe a farm supply store). The most important thing is that the ink makes a huge difference. Some ink does not seem to take the same way that other ink does. I am sitting next to a 10 year old dog right now that I tattooed at 7 weeks at it is legible and clear (good ink!), but used a different brand on my last litter and they needed to be redone.
Discussing tattoos on RTF a few years ago Angie B mentioned that she'd had a dog who had an allergic reaction to tattoo ink. That could be a potential issue I guess although I've tattooed probably 20 litters and never had a pup with a reaction.

Hudson was tattooed by a "Tattoo-A-Pet" franchiser. Not sure if the company is still around, but they hand wrote the number on his flank with a "regular" tattoo gun and black ink. Its still legible 6 years later. However, I think it takes a bit more skill and may not be so easy on puppies. But, he didn't seem to mind it, and he's a big weenie. The person that did it was an Irish setter breeder and I know she did her pups before they left, so it can be done that way too.

Blue and Green campus shuttles modify routes
Posted August 31, 2007; 12:56 p.m.
In response to input from the University community, the Blue and Green lines of the campus shuttle system have modified some of their routes and stops, effective Sept. 4.
As a direct result of the changes, there will be increased frequency to Lot 21 near Jadwin Gymnasium, increased frequency along Washington Road, the addition of Nassau Street as a destination and the connection with a New Jersey Transit bus stop. These limited improvements have been made in order to better serve the University community as well as to move toward a more effective and comprehensive campus transit system that is expected to begin July 1, 2008.
The changes are:
- The North Campus/Firestone stop located on William Street has been replaced by two new stops. A stop at Robertson Hall on the east side of Washington Road will provide access to the north area of campus, including Firestone Library. The second new stop is located on Nassau Street at Charlton Street and is within walking distance of restaurants, a market and other retail establishments. It also serves as a transfer stop to the New Jersey Transit bus. The Blue and Green line shuttles now will travel on Nassau Street between Washington Street and Olden Street.
- The Shapiro Walk stop on Olden Street has been relocated to the entrance of the Friend Center on Olden Street. In case of inclement weather, passengers may wait inside the Friend Center lobby until a shuttle arrives.
- A new stop for the Green line has been added to a previously existing Blue line stop located between the Frist Campus Center and Guyot Hall.
- Both Green and Blue lines will stop at Lot 21.
For further information, including a fall 2007 schedule and revised routes and stops, visit the Greater Mercer Transportation Management Association website.
Those with questions or comments should call the GMTMA at (609) 452-8988 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or e-mail email@example.com. To check the status of the shuttle service, call the Service Disruption Hotline at (866) 787-4330. (The hotline is a recorded message that is updated whenever there are major or long-term service disruptions.)

Extrasensory Perception: Also written as Extra Sensory Perception, this is a phrase introduced by Dr. J.B. Rhine of the Department of Parapsychology at Duke University. It is used as a general term to describe all sorts of phenomena that cannot be perceived through our usual senses. This includes clairvoyance (seeing things at a distance farther than our normal vision would allow) and clairaudience (hearing things at a greater distance than our normal hearing would allow). These perceptions may not only be from a greater distance, but also from different times or from areas that are not on the physical plane.

You are here
Few people knew what to expect from the Kukso Koo Fall Collection Debut party, but guests found themselves in awe as they walked down the red carpet to join the crowd. The red carpet ended in a photo booth, and fashionistas mugged for the camera before wandering through the incredible gardens at the Gaillard-Bennett House.
The beautiful courtyard and landscaping at the Gaillard-Bennett House had partygoers feeling like they had stepped into a secret garden, and guests milled about with glasses of wine or light bites. Those with VIP tables soon made their way to the patio and gazebo area, where a runway had been constructed over a pool. The rest of the crowd vied for seats on the other side of the hedge, where the runway ended.
Ayoka Lucas took to the stage as the night's emcee, and soon Kukso Koo's creations debuted on the catwalk. International designer Kukso Koo, who is known also as the design consultant for iconic fashion house Roberto Cavalli, strives to create harmony and beauty, mystery and wonder through his works, and he delivered what can only be described as a dramatic night of fashion. Sweeping romantic looks were followed by edgier metallic garments and a series of sheer ensembles, and models donned leg jewelry, masks, and intense, fierce makeup for the show.
The night ended with an enthusiastic round of applause, and some grateful words from Erin Pruitt, director of Walk for Autism - Charleston, which was the beneficiary of the evening's festivities.
Walk for Autism - Charleston is a non-profit that strives to develop and implement strategies that cultivate community partnerships, and foster financial support for the treatment and intervention of autism. The organization hosts an annual walk during April each year to celebrate Autism Awareness month.

Found a Bespin Luke Skywalker metal peg version at Sears. I've only seen the plastic peg on tri-logo before today.
Found a Bespin Luke Skywalker metal peg version at Sears. I've only seen the plastic peg on tri-logo before today.
After the sale on figures at zellers ends this weekend, expect new ones to hit the pegs shortly afterwards. I was told this by the toy manager at my local zellers.
And for anyone who does not know, most stores (Zellers in particular) have boxes of figures out in the stock room ready to go out. I know because I've seen some this evening, they wait until most of the old stock is gone before putting out more on the pegs. Wal-Mart in Saint John still has tons of old figures out back as well as TRU. I guess somebody over ordered in their depts.
Still waiting for E/M, Clone Trooper Pilots x4 and Deluxe version x2, Padme C/A.
I did my best to clear some space - bought all the remaining geo w massiffs and Royal Guards (3 and 2) off the shelves. They'd been there long enough, so I figured no one else was interested (and I like both figs enough to have a few more kicking around!).
The new Royal guards had better attention to paint detail - no dark spots - and the silver paint had not rubbed off onto the glove. These were much, much nicer than the first 3 I got from the US. Just a tip.....
rumour has it zellers back east are starting to see the lott dod wave.
i need an ephant mon, who wants to help? :D
I still haven't found the Lott Dodd Wave yet here in Moncton NB (I only nead the no beard Endor Rebel) but Zellers here put out a bunch more accesory pacs. TRU here had a bunch of the deluxe Yoda and 3PO too. Won't be long now. P
Has anyone in the Maritimes found the TRU Landspeeder or X-Wing yet?
Hating aurra sing since 1999.
i just put both those out at my TRU recently. the X-wing flew out in like 2 days, so they are all gone, minus the one i have aside til payday. just put the landspeeder out during last nights shift. i'll be interested to see how well it sells.
i've been asking about stuff there and it seems they're damn iffy when it comes to buying sw stuff. they seem to feel they get stuck with a lot of stuff that doesn't sell, which they do. if i have to repack another box of reeks for $24.99 i'll scream
oh if i wasn't just a lowly "associate"
i need an ephant mon, who wants to help? :D
i dunno if this counts or is even important to you all, but i put out the interactive R2 D2 yesterday at work.
i need an ephant mon, who wants to help? :D

Under the Delux section of found, you refer to a Delux Battle Droid? What are you refering to? I'm not aware of any delux battle droid.....
Hey Greedo, sorry for the delay. On this site it's actually listed as "Destroyer Droid". Since I don't have the item, Im not sure exactly what's in the pkg, either. It's listed under "Collector's Database" on this site, then be sure to follow the links through "Kenner", "3 3/4", "Saga", then "Deluxe Figures" or something like that. Im looking for a pic to post here, but since Im no good at the code you may have to settle for a link. Ill be back......
(Edit).....interesting...no pics here or at the other site I go for photo reference. No mention of this item over there, either. Weird. Here's something, though, maybe that other lovable Canucklehead Haggis can sort this out.....
Haggis? Are ye there lad? Can you help us out?Originally Posted by Haggis
New Deluxe @ Sears on sale! Post #1

Wasen't that harsh O_o
Yea it was, sorry. I was probably in a bad mood at the time.
Point being, codec packs contain a lot of crap that can/will interfere with other codecs you already have installed or conflict with the codecs that are in the pack (not to mention contain viri and spyware). Its a bad way to troubleshoot a problem. You should isolate what is causing the issue and fix the thing that is causing it instead of installing a bunch of random stuff and crossing your fingers

I have a 5/6 weight cheap 20 dollar martin combo but after reading up I seeI need a 8wt for the steelhead around here instead of this 5/6 rod.. so I was looking at a 8 wt rod for steelhead fishing. wondered if this would be a good combo? plus its on sale for 61 dollars. wondered if anyone tried this brand and what they think of it. I am not rich either so I don't really wanna spend over 100 bux if I don't have too. so will this catch steelhead or not? I went cheap the 1st time to see if I could cast and even fly fish. but now I don't want to buy some crap or get ripped off. heres the link. it also seems to have a disc drag system reel. is this is way better than the rim contolled single action that came with my 20 dollar rod setup?

So, in the Target compilation CD thread, we were talking about what we did and didn't think was a good choice for the CD, this is supposed to be music spanning the entire saga after all. Here's the Target CD's track breakdown:
[FONT=Arial]1. Star Wars Main Title And The Arrival At Naboo (2:55)[/FONT]Ok, that's alright I suppose. But let's say that track listing doesn't suit your tastes, perfectly reasonable, what tracks SHOULD be on there? Keep in mind, we're only limited to around 70 minutes total for 1 compilation CD. So what tracks would be on your SW Saga compilation disc?
2. The Flag Parade (2:11)
3. Qui-Gon's Noble End (3:47)
4. Jango's Escape (3:47)
5. Yoda and the Younglings (3:56)
6. General Grievous (4:07)
7. Anakin's Dark Deeds (4:04)
8. Imperial Attack (6:44)
9. Ben Kenobi's Death/Tie Fighter Attack (3:53)
10. Yoda and the Force (4:05)
11. The Clash of Lightsabers (4:19)
12. Sail Barge Assault (5:04)
13. End Title (From Star Wars Episode VI) (6:05)

Like I said,I may have ended up supporting another club had it not been for MO
Liverpool supporters did not take too kindly to the way he left but I'm a firm believer that time is a healer and I'm sure they would have welcomed him back after his contract at Newcastle had expired.
I had heard he was thinking of joining Manchester United but he would have jumped at the opportunity to come back to Liverpool. He would have been happy to be a squad player and was excited at the opportunity to return home.
The way he left Liverpool had saddened Michael and he wanted the opportunity to redeem himself. I sent Rafa Benitez a message explaining what Liverpool could get on a free transfer but Benitez instead went out and bought David Ngog.
Joining United was a mistake. It ruined any chance of him repairing things with Liverpool fans and it's safe to say United supporters never really took to him despite his famous winner against Manchester City.
Suarez says he's open to offers from other CL clubs.
Would you rather 1 Luis or 5 15M-20M players?
Worst case scenario would obviously be to sell Luis and FSG pocket some of the cash

You are here
Party, party, party: that was the theme of last night's Charleston Wine + Food kick off with three fêtes taking revelers all around town. The evening began onsite at Marion Square for the VIP Party. There, festival executive director Angel Postell got the crowd ready for the weekend with a short speech and a ceremonial gifting of a chef jacket to festival board chair Rick Jerue, Art Institute President. Board members took the stage for a round of applause and then guests' attention quickly turned back to the cocktail stations.
Grill 225 plated the feast as attendees mingled and munched between two tents. Tiny cupcakes crowned with crisp number seven cookies introduced the festival tagline, "Lucky Number Seven" and were reported to be delicious. I had a John T. Edge spotting, as the prolific author made his way through the crowd—the soul being patch easy to spot. And Matt Lee was also overheard inviting Alluette of Alluette's Café to the Billy Reid party.
The Festival got really smart this year and hired shuttles to take guests from Marion Square to the South Carolina Aquarium for part deux of this gastronomic bonanza, the Opening Party. There, every chef and his sous was in the house for a decidedly seaworthy display. Clams and oysters, catfish and shrimp were served in small bites. The only trick was juggling said plate with the festival wine glass given to each guest upon arrival. One clever couple managed the task by bringing their own party plates—complete with wine holder—from home.
Best bites of the night included The Macintosh chef Jeremiah Bacon's sweet and sour pork belly soup along with Fish chef Nico Romo's crunchy spring roll with spicy crab salad. "Yums" were also heard for the cornmeal-fried catfish from Husk; octopus with parsnip-hazelnut, black truffle, and fennel from McCrady's; and FIG chef Mike Lata's escabeche of mackarel with root veggies and caraway.
Amidst the crowd, I had the chance to meet newcomer Kevin Garcia, the soon-to-be-chef at new restaurant 'Cesca. He said he'll be getting the New York City-based restaurant up and running in the old Buccaneer venue downtown and is eager to meet the local food community.
Outside, desserts and cigars awaited. I enjoyed the sweet smell of stogies before my carriage arrived (in the form of a very kind husband) ready to take my posse off to the Oak Steakhouse After Party. Within minutes of arriving at Oak who should walk in? None other than Hugh Acheson himself, The Five & Ten, the National, Gosford Wine, and Empire State South chef-partner who, judging by his smile, was having a grand time.
Also on the scene was chef Robert Carter. I congratulated him on his new venture, Carter's Kitchen, and of course alluded to hopes that a certain second spot might be opened on Rutledge with a certain RiverDogs-owning celebrity, to which the chef smirked, but kept mum.
Upstairs at Oak, the Lucky Number Seven theme continued with gambling tables. Waiters passed around the juiciest sliders and as the hours ticked by, a who's who of the Charleston culinary scene, from Holly Herrick to Kevin Johnson, Craig Deihl to Jasmine Beck, arrived.
Around midnight, after 10+ hours in heels, I knew it was time to head home. So with a final slider in hand, I made my exit, with visions of tuna tartare dancing through my head.

Watertown movie theater trying to raise funds to stay open
Theater needs to raise $70,000 for digital projection
WATERTOWN, Wis. - After decades of delighting audiences, a small town movie theater is on the verge of shutting down. But the Towne Cinema in Watertown hopes its online fans can help prevent a final showing.
Where Hollywood blockbusters move Watertown audiences, admission at the Towne Cinema is about as low-budget as you can get.
"We like to have people have a little extra cash after they leave the theater and have a cheaper alternative to taking your family out," said Matthew Sampon, the theater's manager. "A family of four can get tickets and concessions for $20."
At $3 a ticket, it's hard to find a cheaper seat unless you make it to Watertown's senior center matinee.
"My very favorite is 'To Kill A Mockingbird' and 'Gone With The Wind,'" said Sophie Traeger, who remembers Towne Cinema playing classics for a quarter. "They were movies that when you saw them, you went home, changed, you had a good time, and you never forget them."
And as the senior center cineplex hopes for a few donated kernels for their popcorn machine, the Towne Cinema is looking for a little charity as well.
"We're not going to get film anymore, and that happens sometime in June. And what happens is our projectors we're using from the 1950s are going to become obsolete," Sampon said.
With Hollywood forcing theaters to invest in digital projection, the Town Cinema is now turning to online crowd sourcing to raise the needed $70,000.19292134
"It is do or die for us," Sampon said. "If we don't keep up with technology, we will have to close our doors."
"I think you're taking away the last of Rin Tin Tin, Tom Mix and Three Stooges," said Traeger. "You're going to be sitting at home in your living room watching it on a little DVD having about as much fun as somebody that's got 10 years in a penitentiary."
Why not just raise the $3 price of admission? The theater said box office money goes back to the film studios. It's the concessions that help the theater make its money.

Binghamton University Philanthropy Incubator is now seeking applicants
BINGHAMTON, NY -- The Binghamton University student-run Philanthropy Incubator Project is now accepting applications from local nonprofit organizations. Applications are due by 5 p.m. on March 22, and funding will be awarded in early May. Those who qualify will be eligible to receive individual grants of up to $10,000.
Organizations who wish to apply must be located in the Southern Tier or Central New York region and serving low-income youths below the age 18 and/or adults above the age 65. To further qualify, the organization must have been an internship or field placement site for Binghamton University social work or public administration students in the past year.
The Philanthropy Incubator is also aimed at helping organizations that have worked with Binghamton University students in the past and provided these students with sources of knowledge and mentorship through field placement and internships. Applications will be evaluated on their capacity to maximize impact for the prospective grantee.
The Philanthropy Incubator is funded by the generous support of Binghamton University students and alumni, The Community Foundation for South Central New York, The Campus Contact Program, and the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund. The Incubator also serves as a mechanism to teach students in the Master of Public Administration (MPA) and Master of Social Work (MSW) programs about philanthropy. Under the direction of MPA faculty member David Campbell, students design and implement the grant making process, as well as the fund-raising efforts to support the project.

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
Solomons Island is located in Southern Maryland's Calvert County. Once a thriving community of watermen and shipbuilders, the island is now a popular destination for recreation and tourism. Photo credit Marinas.com
By Loren Anne BarnettPublished in the Summer 2011 issue of Save The Bay magazine
Sometimes, "the future ain't what it used to be." Over and over, this Yogi Berraism has been true for Solomons Island. The Bay's birth is evidenced nearby in the exposed seam of Miocene fossils, including oysters, at Calvert Cliffs. As the first hunter-gatherers roamed the area, empty oyster shells became a sign of their presence. English settlers arrived in the early 1600s and delighted in the plentiful shellfish. But, until after the Civil War, Solomons Island had only a couple buildings and some cultivated land. More change was coming. And Solomons was the little island that could.
Map credit Lucidity Information Design
GEOGRAPHY: Solomons, Maryland, is just over two square miles in size. The 38-acre island portion to the south, known as Solomons Island, is connected by a bridge which locals refer to as the "Solomons Island Bridge."
LOCATION: Solomons sits in the north side of the mouth of the Patuxent River. The U.S. Patuxent River Naval Air Station is located across the Patuxent on the river's south side.
POPULATION: 1,881 (as of 2010, up 22% since 2000).
AKA: Solomons Island was originally named Bourne's Island in 1680 and changed to Somervell's Island in 1740. It wasn't until 1870, after businessman Isaac Solomon brought a sucessful oyster-packing facility to town, that the island became known by its current name. Solomon's home still stands on the front of the island.
Oh, those delicious oysters. Isaac Solomon, the Baltimore businessman for whom the island is named, opened the town's first oyster cannery soon after the Civil War. The commercial seafood industry flourished there. And so did the shipbuilding needed to support the fleet.
By 1900, the island itself had 91 households. The most common occupations were oysterman, fisherman, and ships carpenter. But even then there was a small tourism presence in the summer when visitors would come by steamboat. Expansion followed on the mainland to the north, called Avondale.
Although quite self-sufficient, as were many communities during this time, the river kept Solomons connected and accessible for commerce. Twice-weekly steamboats from Baltimore brought supplies. On-island entertainment included ice skating in winter, local theater, and the island's own traveling baseball team.
In the late 1920s, oyster and fish harvests were declining. Watermen were looking for work elsewhere. Shipyards closed as the need for workboats diminished.
The Great Depression took even more of a toll on Solomons' economy. And a devastating storm in 1933 added insult to injury, destroying oyster beds and canneries, washing away the steamboat wharf and many boats, and flooding half the island.
Although the harbor has been a center for marine activity since Joshua Barney's flotilla gathered there to protect the Bay from the British Navy during the War of 1812, activity escalated during World War II when three naval facilities came to the area. With them came more people and new jobs. Solomons' population soared from 263 in 1942 to more than 2,600 in 1945.
After the war: a new era. Recreation boats, shopping centers, and new development marked the post-war "good life." Most military personnel left the area, but the still-present Patuxent Naval Air Station continued to attract Solomons' residents to cross the river by boat for work. Shipbuilding continued but was now focused on the production of family cruisers that were marketed nationwide.
The 140-foot-high Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge was built in 1977, connecting Solomons to St. Mary's County and the Patuxent Naval Air Station. In 1978, after a nearly century-long run, the last oyster house, J.C. Lore & Sons, closed its doors. Easier to access, the island became a travel destination with inns, restaurants, and gift shops. Water-oriented Solomons now provides visitors with many recreational opportunities: fishing, crabbing, boating, and strolling.
We say the Bay is "where we live," "where we work," and "where we play." Don Baugh, CBF's Vice President for Environmental Education, reminded me recently that it's also "where we learn." And, Solomons' Calvert Marine Museum provides a rich and engaging place to do just that. It was our first stop the day my daughter Helen and I visited Solomons.
Established in 1970 and moved to its current site in 1975, the museum's 29,000- square-foot building is loaded with history: artifacts; old photographs; and exhibits on American Indians, the War of 1812, tobacco farming, and the waterman trade. Outside attractions include a marsh walk; an otter enclosure; and the Wm. B. Tennison, a 60-foot bugeye, available for tours.
Sherrod Sturrock, the museum's Deputy Director, led us through much of the indoor area, even taking us behind the scenes to see the workings of the many aquariums that mimic the Bay's progressive change in salinity. Four full-time employees care for these critter exhibits that include jellyfish breeding and a skate hatchery.
After visiting otters Bubbles and Squeak, we toured the on-site Drum Point Lighthouse with Education Assistant Lori Cole. The 1883 cottage-style lighthouse was moved to the museum property by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1975. Above the supply deck, the structure's three stories are outfitted with period furniture and once housed a family of five.
We took a break to eat and tour the island proper, attached by a barely noticible 25-foot bridge—the distance narrowed over the years by tons upon tons of oyster shell.
We sank into relaxation at the wellknown Solomons Pier, literally sitting over the Patuxent, admiring the stunning view. The gentle clanking of boats was interrupted when a military jet flew overhead reminding us that the Patuxent Naval Air Station is just across the river.
We couldn't wait to get back to the museum. This time, we toured with Jim Langley, the museum's Curator of Exhibits. Jim has a 30-year history with the museum, first apprenticing for his late father Pepper Langley, a talented wood carver, model boat builder, and founder of the museum. "My father was such a dreamer," he said. "My mom said he would let the house fall down and work at the museum for free."
Pepper left quite a legacy. We'll be back. I could have spent at least another full day at the museum. And Helen is already asking to visit Bubbles and Squeak. Maybe one day, as Bay restoration progresses, we'll even tour a working oyster house.
You will begin to receive Bay updates from CBF soon.

By Michaela Gibson Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
Baby boomers grew up with Superman, GI Joe and Barbie, rocked out to the Beatles and survived the Summer of Love and the Vietnam War.
Now as the oldest among them reach retirement, they need to think about their livers. Public health officials estimate boomers make up two-thirds of the nearly 4 million Americans who are believed to be infected with the hepatitis C.
The blood-borne hepatitis C virus can silently and systematically destroy the liver. By the time symptoms emerge – such as jaundice, malnutrition, fluid retention in the abdomen and legs and life-threatening hemorrhages – the liver can be irreversibly scarred and going into failure, said Dr. John Phillips, a Tupelo gastroenterologist who also specializes in liver diseases.
"That's why you want to find them early," Phillips said.
Those who develop cirrhosis face liver failure and higher risk of liver cancer.
"It's the number one reason for liver transplantation," Phillips said.
This summer, the Centers for Disease Control recommended that all Baby Boomers – folks born between 1945 and 1965 – be tested once for Hepatitis C, ideally at their next doctor's visit.
More than 15,000 Americans are dying each year from hepatitis C-related diseases, nearly double the number of people who died in 1999.
"Unless we take action, we project deaths will increase substantially," said CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden when the recommendation was announced in August.
If hepatitis C is uncovered before it causes irreversible damage, the prognosis is good.
"The new treatments are phenomenal," Phillips said. "The sooner you know you have Hepatitis C, the more likely the treatments are to work."
How does it spread?
Hepatitis C is transmitted by contact with blood.
"It's not an STD," Phillips said.
These days, it's more commonly spread by sharing needles. The boomers have a double whammy with hepatitis C – They came of age during a culture of experimentation with drugs and prior to advent universal health precautions. They may have been exposed to the virus if they had a blood transfusion before 1992 when widespread screening of donor blood began. It could have been spread through tattooing or body piercing other than ears with unsterilized equipment. In theory, the virus could also be transmitted by sharing razor blades, tooth brushes. People who go through hemo dialysis are also at increased risk.
About 3 percent of baby boomers will test positive for hepatitis C.
Anyone who has the hepatitis C virus has about a 20 percent risk of developing cirrhosis of the liver over a 25 year period, Phillips said.
For people who drink alcohol and have the virus, the risk goes to 80 percent.
"Alcohol and hepatitis C are a very bad combination," Phillips said.
It's really important for boomers and people with risk factors to be directly screened for hepatitis C because just watching liver function measures may be deceptive.
"Many times, liver enzymes are normal," Phillips said. Other times, they fluctuate between elevated and normal.
"Physicians need to be award of this," Phillips said.
There have been great advances in treatment of hepatitis C, which is part of the reason the CDC is recommending broader screening.
The treatment protocols are based on the genotype of the virus. Genotype 1 is the most common, covering about 75 percent of those diagnosed. Genotypes 2 and 3 cover the other 25 percent, Phillips said.
Types 2 and 3 were the most responsive to standard course of treatment that requires interferon and ribavirin.
"It only needs 24 weeks of treatment and has a 80 to 90 percent chance of cure," Phillips said.
Two new medications – protease inhibitors – used in conjunction with the standard course of treatment have greatly improved the odds of a cure for people with Genotype 1, from 50 percent to 70 percent, Phillips said.
"It's a longer treatment (48 weeks) and there are more side effects," that are similar to other chemotherapy drugs, Phillips said. Most of the side effects can be managed.
The treatment is very expensive – 12 weeks of the protease inhibitors can run $48,000, Phillips said. But that's still far less expensive than a liver transplant and lifetime of antirejection drugs.
At the end of successful treatment, the long term outlook is extremely positive.
"Before cirrhosis, the damage is considered reversible," Phillips said. "If they don't have cirrhosis, they're not at increased risk for liver cancer."

I am curious what others have come up with for judging distance? I slump lower than most and it did affect my ability to judge distance. 50 looked like 40 when a Turkey was in a field. Never had that problem bow hunting in a tree stand. Plus I have never used decoys that much to have a reference point.
Finally all I could think of was to put out a mounted turkey at different yardages and see how much detail I could see. Kinda like don't shoot till you see the white in their eyes. Then I put a red dot sight on my shotgun and that helped. I don't miss ( or not kill ) near as much. Fields and logging roads always seemed to throw my distance judging off.

Titan, Saturn's largest satellite, is the only moon with a thick atmosphere. The Cassini mission, now orbiting Saturn, has sent back remarkable images and information from Titan, revealing one of the most intriguing and surprising worlds in the entire solar system. In many ways, Titan is a cold twin of the Earth, with liquid methane (swamp gas) playing the same role there as water plays on our planet. Life on Earth is based on liquid water; could there be life on Titan based on liquid methane?
Dr. McKay will discuss the new picture we have of Titan, with its lakes, rivers, and rocks made of water ice. He'll show you a world unlike any that astronomers have seen so far. His research focuses on the evolution of the solar system and the origin of life. He has been a co-investigator on the Huygens probe (that Cassini landed on Titan), the Phoenix Mars lander, and the upcoming Mars Science Laboratory mission. He has a wonderful knack for explaining scientific results in plain language and with a touch of humor.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Locational Privacy
Massachusetts police must now get a search warrant before they can track a person's past movements through their cell phone in an important new decision that has implications beyond just cell tracking in the Bay State.
In Commonwealth v. Augustine, state police relied on federal law to obtain an order authorizing the disclosure of two weeks worth of historical cell site records from Sprint in connection with a murder investigation. But the order wasn't a search warrant supported by probable cause. Years after obtaining the records and a criminal case was brought against Augustine, a different judge found the police had violated the Massachusetts state constitution when it failed to get a warrant.

Customs & Border Protection Loaned Predator Drones to Other Agencies 700 Times in Three Years According to "Newly Discovered" Records
Customs & Border Protection recently "discovered" additional daily flight logs that show the agency has flown its drones on behalf of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies on 200 more occasions more than previously released records indicated.
Much of the debate over modern surveillance—including the NSA mass spying controversy—has centered around whether people can reasonably expect that records about their telephone and Internet activity can remain private when those records belong to someone else: the service providers. Courts have disagreed on whether the 1979 Supreme Court case Smith v. Maryland, which ruled people have no expectation of privacy in the phone numbers they dial, should be extended to cover newer, more invasive forms of technology.

McCarthy Reflects on Season Plagued by Injuries
Mike McCarthy had big expectations for Team 93... He's helped the Packers set the bar high for themselves in the past, but believed this season could top past successes.
"I felt this was going to be the best offense that we've ever had here," McCarthy explained. "I thought we were going to go past 2011, when we came out of the Minnesota game I thought we really, really hit our stride, cause we had a couple bumps there and we got the no huddle offense where it needed to be. We changed a lot of mechanics from the past so I felt very, very good about our offense and our numbers reflected it too."
But that forward momentum was halted when the unthinkable happened: franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone and was sidelined for 7 games.
"How many teams played with 4 quarterbacks in a season and won a division championship? I think we've been the fourth.. so it was definitely a challenge," McCarthy said. "Was our confidence challenged? Heck yeah, part of the evaluation you have to go back and look at who stepped up during those times? Who stepped up when Seneca was in there and Scott and Matt? Those are things you have to make sure you go back and look at and make sure are part of your evaluation."
That evaluation process is already underway, but its on-going. Just a week removed from the season, emotions factor in.
"We'll rank all the players all the players on offense, rank all the players on defense and then we'll go thru the film evaluation and a month later we'll rank all the guys on offense and all the guys on defense and its interesting to see how much those rankings change."
2013 will be remembered as the year plagued by injuries. McCarthy said the team ranked 5th or 6th in the league in that category and it's something that will be studied thoroughly this off-season.
"When you look at a statistic that's the starting point. You have to look inside of it, make sure you have a clear understanding of everything that happened within that statistic. That's the answer, that's what you're looking for and we'll continue to do that," McCarthy vowed.
When asked if this was the most challenging season he's ever had, McCarthy says he thinks back to his first year at the helm of the Packers... but even that can't compare.
"There were some points of that season I felt like I got ran over by a truck, but this year it just seemed like it never stopped."

Research firm IDC today chimed in with its view on the Q1 smartphone market, stating that sales rose 28.6%, year over year, to to 281.5 million, beating the firm's forecast for 267.2 million units.
That was down just 2.8% from Q4′s level, which the firm thinks demonstrates "sustained demand."
Said analyst Ramon Llamas,
The first quarter of the year typically brings sequential retrenchment from the holiday spending of the previous quarter. The small difference between the two quarters points to sustained strong demand, driven by emerging markets, low-cost devices, and the proliferation of 4G networks. If this is how we start the year, then we can look forward to another record-breaking quarter at the end of the year.
40% of all units shipped into the Chinese market, the firm said, a record.
Among vendors, Samsung Electronics (005930KS) shipped 85 million units, the firm estimates (Samsung does not report device totals), for 30.2% share of the market, down from 31.9% share a year earlier.
Apple (AAPL) was in second place, with 43.7 million units reported shipped of the iPhone, for 15.5% share, down from 17.1% a year earlier.
In third place, privately held Huawei shipped 13.7 million units, up 47.3% from the prior-year period, for a 4.9% share of the market, up from 4.3%.
Lenovo (0992HK) was not far behind at 4.6% share, up from 3.6%. Lenovo's shipments were the highest among the group, up 63.3%.
The results were not totally out of keeping with a report yesterday by Strategy Analytics, which said that within an overall mobile phone market of 372.7 million units in Q1, Huawei was a strong gainer, selling 3.5% of the market but seeing its shipments rise by 22%, twice as fast as the overall rate of growth of the mobile market.
