"A Clinician's eYe, but a Poet's HEART"
I love how Sacks, through his small clinical vignettes, exposes the complex, narrative powers of the brain. Written with a clinician's eye, but a poet's heart, I also love how he is able to show how these patients with all sorts of neurological deficits, disabilities, and divergences are able to adapt and even thrive despite their neurological damage. For the most part, they are able to find "a new health, a new freedom" through music, inner narratives, etc. They are able to achieve a "Great Health," a peace and a paradoxical wellness THROUGH their illness.
"Jaw dropping... in a very strange way"
I found this book very touching and absolutely fascinating...
Oliver Sacks' other books are similar, but i found not as broadly interesting. Apart from that i have not ventured to read anything like it.
not having a background in psycho-anything, i think that reading the text would have been very difficult. i think that the narrator makes it possible to get the meaning while not needing the background, as i have found in other audiobooks.
over and over
even if you don't think this book will interest you, i would suggest you give it a try, i was very surprised. i literally caught myself with my mouth wide open in some of the stories!
"Outstanding! Neurology perfection."
Oliver Sacks is the undisputed King of the medical neurology tale. Weaving drama, intrigue, suspense, and moving characters with incredible and extremely academically enlightening medical fact. The book, one of my favorites since college, (and one I re-read numerous times through medical school and my eventual neurology residency) is simply phenomenal. I have given copies to college students considering medical school, and medical students considering their residency. It truly reveals the brain, and the mind, better than any other book, text, or article.
Don't be frightened off, however. The layperson, the non-physician, will be just as captivated, just as amazed. The intrigue, the mystery of some of the brain injuries, or pathology of the disease, captures better than any James Bond villain. The suspense more real, the issues more valid.
I have read this book many, many times, but I must comment on the narration. The reader brings this story alive. He is slow, deliberate, and moves at the perfect pace. Inflecting, pausing perfectly, enunciation of each word, each idea; as good as any audible book in my library. (over 700, so this is rare, and high praise for me.).
I give this a Thumbs Up. A home run by the Sultan of Neurology.
Hi I am a geologist that now lives in South Australia I work in remote locations and find audiobooks essential for my sanity.
"Wonderful compassionate and insightfull"
One of the pleasures of login on to audible is the surprise of which books are new to download. I have owned a text copy of this book since 1990 until I started to listen to the recording I had almost forgotten what an excellent series of compassionate single studies formed the book. It could be considered vicarious, the detailed study of individuals each with one or more "deficits". However it ends up as a deeply moving study of these individuals and in the process it tells us of the thin line that we each tread between fully functioning and being lost in the world. Great audio with the author reading the introduction and Jonathan Davis's voice pitched at exactly the right pitch to convey the pathos of each circumstance.
"The Mind is a Scary Place"
I would recommend this to friends who enjoy exploring the workings of the mind.
I would be willing to read another Oliver Sacks' book because his case studies are sometimes fascinating and it is clear that he has the personal experience to back up his work.
The book is expertly read. Where I would have stumbled over terminology, it was nice to have a narrator deliver the words smoothly.
I can't say that I was inspired, more than anything I felt a little fearful of what could potentially happen to my own mind.
The mind is an amazing and scary place! I think a layperson can definitely follow along, though it is occasionally bogged down with technical language that is obviously meant for the experts. Most of these case studies are the minute exception to the norm, but many of them are incredible. The most tragic common denominator for me is the fact that there are so many brain disorders that completely rob a person of purpose and happiness. The good part, I guess, is that some of them don't know it.
I am self-absorbed and...oh wait this isn't an e-mail to my therapist. hehe I love the Science and Technology section here, it's my favorite. I hope to write my reviews at least well enough to peek the interest of a few listeners to the point where they will shift their tastes more toward educational literature, knowing that(after receiving some insight from me) they can be just as entertaining, if not more so than mainstream fiction
"Creme de la Creme"
I read this eighteen years ago. It was the most intriguing book I ever read to that date, as I was previously a fiction fan. This is a case by case story of Dr. Sacks most interesting patients, as well as other doctors patients that he met and found intriguing. I shared these stories with others years ago after first reading this, and you will, as I plan on doing again, have a blast sharing the idiosyncrasies of these marvelous humans, explored by a renowned neuropsychologist yourselves. The vernacular is heavy, and if you are not comfortable referencing a dictionary, google every once in awhile, or are a medical doctor it may be a minor disappointment for you, however I would guess context is enough for a layman to march through this still greatly satisfied.
Don't pass this by because of its publication date either. I listen to many psychology and science audio here, and this is not going to give you that out of the loop feeling some books do. Enjoy this new and updated gem!
"Simplifying of a "diffycult" subject"
Very interesting. Informative. Easy to listen to. This book presents a subject that traditionally requires a massive educational process to enable you to debate it, listen to it and read it, in a very understandable way to people not familiar to the field of psychiatry. It is really well written and very well narrated. A definite thumbs-up from me!
"True stories about how our brains effect us"
I like the fact that this book was written by a doctor who sees his patients as persons, not things. These are real case histories, and these people are suffering from various forms of brain damage and defects. It is interesting to learn how they are coping, and how their personalities are being effected.It is also so fascinating to learn how much our organic physiology effects our personality.
The book ends by pointing our how many ways one of the authors patents could have their very special gifts employed in fruitful work, but also points out that instead the patents will probably (like many others) be overlooked and discarded for life to the back room of a public hospital.
It made me happy to know that some doctors really do care, and see potential, for the handicapped. It made me sad to think that so many people are discarded.
Oliver Sacks is such an engaging, exciting, and thoughtful author. These stories far surpassed scientific documentation of odd mental illnesses and instead discussed the lived experience of his patients as people. Sacks is a formidable writer. I highly recommend this book.
"Not your ordinary story book"
Very well read - interesting subject matter - really enjoyed. Will listen to it again and again - worth its price, but not for just anyone.

A "Shameless" split. Emmy Rossum and Tyler Jacob Moore, stars of the hit Showtime drama, have broken up after dating for two years, a source close to the couple confirms to Us Weekly. Page Six was first to report the breakup.
The couple, who play Fiona Gallager and Toni Markovich in the popular series "Shameless," started dating in 2011 when the show first premiered.
On June 4, the normally tight-lipped actress, 26, told Us Weekly about her perfect date night, not mentioning Moore, 30.
PHOTOS: Emmy shares her style secrets
"Honestly, like, a movie and Applebee's. Just keep it simple," Rossum told Us of her ideal date. "I want to talk to you and know what you thought about the movie afterwards. Because discussing what I do and art and movies and museum exhibitions -- that's one of the biggest pleasures in life is talking about things, so I just want to talk to somebody and see what they think."
The New York City native was previously married to music executive Justin Siegel from 2008 to 2010, and dated Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz for one year.
PHOTOS: Stars who fell in love on set
In a newly posted tweet on Friday, July 5, Rossum said she was focusing on work projects.
"Hope you all had a happy and safe 4th," she wrote. "Back to work starting tonight on a new film called "Curfew" in my home state New York."
For his part, Moore has not tweeted since July 1.

Original Message
The reason that most spiritual teachings have been sheltered away from the common person throughout the histroy of the world is twofold 1) the common person would gain little benefit from evolution systems in a base state lacking the prerequisite condition 2) to preserve the integrity of these systems against the possibility of a person lacking sufficient comprehension and understanding of the material yet with sufficient knowledge to contribute falsehoods and misunderstandings to the larger discourse.
The little known secret to all these practices is that they DO VERY LITTLE to NOTHING for the psychological neurosis of the mind. In fact, one of the traditional great dangers of all these systems and in the whole guru system in general is the danger of markers of spiritual progress being faked or counterfitted by the conscious mind (both with intention and without intention) and the energy freed by the various practices, instead of being applied with integrity to the system for the evolution of the spirit to meet the eternal soul, go to fuel any number of neurotic ego-driven pathologies so commonly noted in the modern world today.
With this in mind, the dangling of the promises of the spiritual systems of the world in the face of one who is suffering NOT with some greater metaphysical dilemna but in fact with the weight of their own mis-programmed (from the faults of society and family) mind DOES THE SUFFERER NO FAVORS but insteads performs the role of a spell in witchcraft to chain their emotional well-being to the attainment of some kind of magickal sigil (which can be a concept or a physical mark), depriving the person of their own power and empowering THE OTHER, whether this be a book, a meditation, an evoked diety, or the guru.
With this in mind, what the average person needs from the evolved souls is not a diatribe on spiritual evolution or the promises of the Great Work, but rather a framing of the issue of each and every person's unique life which makes their suffering SIGNFICANT and IMPORTANT to THEM, an exploration of the origins and causes of their day to day struggles and simple understandings which point to the reasons why the things which come up in the mind and in the world act the way they do upon the individual, both as a product of their own lives and a product of the larger evolutionary enterprise known as humanity.
It is through the day to day realization of the nature of the STRUGGLE, that the mind can acheive the peace it needs to give the spirit the power required to make the first infant steps on the way to the permanent relieving of suffering that comes from evolution.
Human children cannot be given a discourse on the nature of walking, they must instead be fed and protected so they can grow until they can observe enough of walking to have the ability to do it without thought, to walk towards the light as a reflex and unstoppable inate drive!

store active state in pattrstorage slots?
Aug 31, 2008 at 5:28pm
store active state in pattrstorage slots?I know this has been discussed before so my apologies if the answer is to be found somewhere on the list. Is it possible to include the pattr objects active state in pattrstorage slots? The purpose being to exclude or include pattr objects from different presets. I am currently doing this by using toggles that are recalled with a higher priority than the pattr objects they are related to, and that report back to the pattrstorage object about the active state of the pattr they are related to before the data is recalled. I find this to be a very ugly way of doing it, and it also requires me to have toggles all over the patch. The most practical thing for me would be if the active state of any object could be changed for each stored slot. Can it? Including and excluding parameters is absolutely essential for the type of show control style patching I do, in order to trigger lines, soundfiles m.m by the use of pattr. So any insight in other ways of acheving this in an elegant manner would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Thor |

Is it possible to include the pattr objects active state in pattrstorage No. But there is an activewrite mode for pattrstorage which, if enabled, There is also the subscribe mode which allows you to subscribe to some On the other hand you could save the active status for different situations Just some thoughts. pelado |

I had just taken the decision to change as many variables from unsigned
to int
and upon recompiling the code in question, was greeted by this warning message:
freespace_state.c:203: warning: assuming that the loop is not infinite
The line in question:
for (x = startx; x <= endx; ++x, ++xptr)
This loop is 60 lines of code (inc white space/brackets etc), and has a goto
within it, and at least one occurrence of continue
In this case, I think I am appreciative that GCC is assuming this loop is not infinite, because, it should never loop indefinitely.
What is GCC trying to tell me here?
The grammar of the warning is almost suggestive that the warning should be taken within the context of some other warning, but there are none within that context.
[edit] It's all completely my own fault. I stole some optimization and warning options from a question on here somewhere without really understanding them, and had since forgotten about them.
See Mark Rushakoff's answer, and in addition, I have also used -Wunsafe-loop-optimizations
to explicitly warn if GCC is making assumptions about a loop. See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html

I think you are on the right track. I would hold off on the proviron until its needed. I've done stacks of 4ad and 19Nor before and it's not as wet as people think. I'd view this as a systemic cycle regardless of where you apply the TD...but you know that.
19 NOR will likely prove very useful as it makes my joints feel great while on. The downside is that it kills libido in a big way. A dht compound MAY help this or it may not as nandro binds pretty strongly to the andro receptor..but for purposes of healing I'd keep him as wet as possible just short of gyno symptoms. 19 Nor also takes several weeks to get up to full speed.
If you use M4OHN as a nandro base for cutting remember it has a short half life (we think) so spread the dose as many times a day as you can.
I personally steer clear of Trib for PCT except sporadic use to help with "on call" libido. It's been shown to raise estradiols more so than LH or test. Vitex appears very useful if puffy nipples are a problem..aka Prog issues. Nolva on hand is a very good idea.
I don't know about HGH but R3 IGF-1 may also be useful in repairing connective and nerve tissues. I'm using it right now and I can say that it has healed a lot of little injuries nicely. It's also regrowing my hair which is bad ass.
All in all it looks pretty good. Good luck to you and your freind!

User Review: Big Agnes Insulated Air Core
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $80
Great pad that's kept me camping in comfort, but this review is more about Big Agnes' outstanding warranty support.
- Large enough not to roll off of
- Effective in weather down to around 0 degrees for me
- Outstanding service and warranty support
- Takes me about 30 good breaths to inflate it
My experience with this pad is like many other folks. It packs down smaller than a 1l bottle, is lightweight, and offers an amazing amount of comfort. It's one of the items I won't do without, as my back doesn't appreciate sleeping on anything else. It even kept me dry one night when I had a lot of water seep through the floor of an old tent.
However this review is also about Big Agnes' warranty service. After 6 years of use, my pad started losing air during the night and I couldn't find a leak anywhere. I contacted the company and they said send it on in. About a week later I got a brand new pad for free under warranty. The process could not have been easier.
So great product and great service. Doesn't get much better.

Gangs and 'Bhais' to play their role in Gujarat polls

Gangs and musclemen could play a dominant role in elections in some Assembly constituencies of Bhavnagar, Porbandar, the birthplace of apostle of non-violence Mahatma Gandhi, and Rajkot districts of Saurashtra region of Gujarat.
Porbandar has been a hotbed of criminal activities in recent times where late Santokben Jadeja had emerged as 'Godmother'. Ganglords of Porbandar are once again are in electoral fray.
Another constituency where political power has been shaped by violent means is Gondal in Rajkot district.
And Gujarat minister of state for Fisheries Purshottam Solanki, who is contesting from Bhavnagar rural seat, has courted controversy for his alleged links with the underworld.
Solanki, a dominant leader of Koli community and an accused in 1993 Mumbai communal riots, is known as 'bhai' among his followers. Recently, he was alleged to be involved in a Rs 400-crore fishing contract scam, for which the state Governor has given sanctions for his prosecution.
However, he has a different take on this.
"Since the time you have been electing me, are you not feeling safe and free? Do you face any kind of threat or harassment from anyone?" Solanki had said when he addressed his first election rally at Haatab village after filing his nomination papers.
Congress' Leader of the Opposition Shaktisinh Gohil, belonging to Kshatriya caste, is pitted against Solanki. This is the first time they both are fighting each other.
Bhavnagar Rural has 2,20,565 voters, of whom more than 25 per cent belong to Koli community.
In the small district of Porbandar, it is virtually a fight between rival gangs to control the political leadership.
Sometime in October 2012, there was an advertisement in local papers of Porbandar which read "Call me if someone calls you for extortion or demands ransom in my name."
This declaration was made by none other than Kandhal Jadeja, son of late Santokhben Jadeja, who is contesting from Kutiyana seat in Porbandar district as a Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) candidate.

really innovative. i guess being in a car park doesn't cost much and cut across to different layers of audience. kudos.
The copy needs some editing. The idea is on the creative path so keep on brainstorming.
How is the weight of the chain keeping the cut-out upright?
Also, from my experience, if a parking spot is blocked, you keep driving until you find an open one. The chance of getting out to move a chain to park is not a big one. Too likely to have your car stolen that way! :) And even if I did remove the chain and park there, this ad reaches one car - that's it. Doesn't seem very effective.
Wow. How many of the target would actually use this sort of chain-parking system? Five?
And it's bound to be vandalised. Lord I hope so.
It looks like work done just to win an award. I hope it doesn't.
annoying for the consumer. maybe thats the point.....but i wouldnt like this.
looks nice . but not effective.
to remove and put that parking chain back again, the car owner doesnt get down and does it himself. its the parking guard who does that.
sarvashikshaabhiyaan.com? innit a bit long and clumsy to remember? the site ain't working by the way... explain!
wouldn't it be cheaper just to hire real kids rather than go to the bother of printing cutouts?
speaking of which...and, pardon me if i'm wrong, the kid doesn't look like a cut-out figure to me. it looks like it's been photoshopped onto the picture.
The above mentioned creative team should go and attend some photoshop classes from Adobe. Or pick up an IDIOT GUIDE TO PHOTOSHOP at the nearby bookstore.
maybe if they were used at mass parking lots like train stations or amusement parks, and the driver returned to find it in place
What a load of shit! So every driver is going to put the chain back on the girl. My arse!
weird. where is this girl placed? If she's at a random mall that has nothing to do with education, then the campaign is ineffective and poorly executed. Is this a print ad? If so, the copy needs to be re-written. Interesting concept and message, but strange execution.

12 oz. "Overachievers Underestimate the Rest of Us."
Pours a hazy apple cider color with a thin off-white head that goes to a film pretty quick.
Smells like hops, floral and bitter. There's also a fruity maltiness to it.
Tastes a bit fruity sweet too and the hops aren't as potent as the smell would lead you to believe. Not very bitter considering its an IPA.
Feels relatively full, smooth and softly carbonated.
A pretty good beer. I would drink more of them happily if I had them but I don't know that I'll feel the need to buy anymore.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, author of the highly entertaining Blog Maverick, had the University of Texas at Arlington Physics department conduct a study on the new balls the NBA will be using this year compared to the balls previously used. Click here to read more about balls. It's pretty interesting stuff:
I asked the University of Texas at Arlington Physics department to take
a look at both the new and old NBA basketballs. I asked them to compare
the 2 and let me know what they thought. No preconceived notions. No
prejudice. Just science.Below is their data and response. Before you get to it, i wanted to give my conclusions.
1. Keep the ball. Its not perfect, but it would create more hassles than it solves to change.
Check every floor in the NBA for "dead spots" and make sure the floors
are consistent. This ball will be more impacted by soft spots on the
3. Rather than waiting to see how moisture impacts play and
if it creates turnovers, recognize the properties and advantages of the
ball, that it is the same regardless of how old or new, and change out
the balls at halftime, at the end of quarters, or when it gets wet.
Just like they do in baseball and football.
4. The balls retain dirt. Lots of it.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - The recently struggling Phoenix Suns certainly gave their home crowd something to cheer about during fan appreciation night Monday as the team stunned playoff bound Houston, 119-112 on Monday.
Luis Scola scored 26 points and grabbed 15 rebounds against his former team, while Markieff Morris padded the stat sheet with 20 points, seven rebounds, five steals and six blocks for the Suns, who had found victory just once in their last 12 games and had dropped 15 of 17 overall coming in.
"We know this wasn't the season we all expected," Scola said. "This is what we earned tonight, we deserved this. We need to work and get better and I hope we can work to get better for next year."
P.J. Tucker had 21 points and Wesley Johnson scored 12 to go along with seven boards in the victory.
Phoenix, which currently sits at the bottom of the Western Conference and is already guaranteed its second-worst record in franchise history, finishing ahead of only the 16-66 mark in the team's expansion season of 1968-69, came out firing from the start.
Chandler Parsons scored 24 points, Jeremy Lin added 20 and Carlos Delfino chipped in 23 for the Rockets, who have already clinched their first postseason berth since 2009, but have lost two of their last three.
Houston can finish as high as sixth - the place they currently occupy. However, Golden State and the Los Angeles Lakers can still finish ahead of them in the final playoff seedings.
The Rockets hold the tiebreaker over Golden State with a 3-1 advantage in the season series, but with a loss to the Lakers in the regular season finale on Wednesday, Houston could occupy the eighth and final seed because the Lakers have a better record against Western Conference foes.
James Harden, who shot 0-of-9 from the floor in the second half with two points, closed Houston's deficit to five as he split a pair of free throws with 1:28 to play.
Tucker then made a layup and after Harden missed a 3-point attempt, Morris made two free throws to make 118-109 with 29.5 seconds left to help the home team hold on for the win.
Scola and Dragic twice extended the hosts' lead to 10 early in the fourth with a layup and a triple, respectively, before Patrick Beverly closed Houston's gap to 103-101 with 6:20 remaining. Phoenix scored six straight points, though, to bring its edge back to eight with just under five minutes to play.
"They got pretty much whatever they wanted. We could not stop them defensively," Rockets head coach Kevin McHale said.
After a high-energy, fast-paced first half, both team's cooled down in the third quarter. Houston shot 8-of-22 from the floor compared to Phoenix's 9- of-22 effort.
Delfino's triple with 3:52 remaining in the third closed the deficit to six, but the Suns still led 90-83 at the quarter's end.
The Rockets reeled off a 27-11 surge after trailing by 11 following the first quarter. Lin split a pair of free throws to make it 55-50 with 5:11 remaining before the half and accounted for 13 points during the run. The hosts countered with eight straight points, though, to take a three-point edge with two minutes left and led at the break, 67-61.
Scola supplied 13 points in the first quarter and the Suns started the game on a 33-23 run before ending the period up 39-28.
Southern Utah will play two FBS opponents and five qualifiers to the 2013 FCS playoffs in a challenging 2014 schedule which was announced Monday.
Having already won the Daytona 500 last month, driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. and crew chief Steve Letarte had nothing to lose when they gambled on fuel in Sunday's race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The Arizona Cardinals will have Jay Feely back for the 2014 season, with the veteran kicker agreeing to a contract just prior to Tuesday's start of free agency.
Seeking a lefty specialist to bolster their bullpen, the Arizona Diamondbacks agreed to terms with veteran Oliver Perez on a two-year contract Monday.
The New York Knicks signed forward Earl Clark and guard Shannon Brown to second 10-day contracts on Monday.
Monday's game between the Dallas Stars and Columbus Blue Jackets has been postponed after Stars' forward Rich Peverley suffered a medical emergency while on the bench early in the first period.

"Mark Jackson, the former NBA point guard and current ESPN analyst, has decided to decline an opportunity to interview for the 76ers' coaching job. "It's just not the right situation for him at this time,'' was all that was offered by Steve Kauffman, Jackson's agent. The Sixers had been trying to schedule a meeting with Jackson, but Jackson sent word Tuesday that he was trying to determine whether he wanted to proceed. He informed Kauffman today of his decision. He is expected to interview for the New Orleans Hornets job, and is hopeful of being contacted by the Los Angeles Clippers and possibly the New Jersey Nets." So Mark Jackson turns down the sixers but is hopeful about the clippers and nets?
Another head coach rumor. Not sure how much truth there is to this one but apparently the clips are looking at Mark Jackson from ESPN and Mavs assistant coach Dwane Casey. This article also claims that the clippers are trying to "beat the lakers to Scott".
I'm sure if anyone posted this yet but apparently Eric Gordon is going to compete in the dunk contest. I'm not going to lie, i didn't see this coming.
despite a miserable 0-4 start, NBA.com has recognized the clipps potential and difficult schedule. This makes me feel a little better. The glass is half full? "The Clippers are clearly the best team without a win, victims of a tough schedule. They hung around with the Lakers, Suns, Jazz and Mavs, but couldn't finish. They scored just 27 total fourth-quarter points in the last two. The schedules gets much easier this week."
Maybe slightly off topic, but nonetheless interesting. AI almost joined the clippers this summer and now he is unconditionally determined to make the Grizzlies a winning team. It was also interesting to hear his take on leadership (perhaps an afterthought of Billups success with his former team). It kind of makes you think what he would be saying if he joined the Clippers. On that note, I'm glad he didn't because it appears that he is most definitely planning to start this season.
Well, i dont think anyone has posted this yet, but it apeares that JJ turned down a contract extension. This is good news to all those clipper fans hoping grab Johnson in next years free agency.

July 5, 2012 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- There are new questions about the condition of Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.
The congressman's health issue is more serious than first thought. He is currently on a medical leave of absence from Congress.
Last week we heard that Congressman Jackson was suffering from exhaustion and was on medical leave. Thursday, there is word the diagnosis and treatment is more serious. The news comes with few details and leaves many questions unanswered.
The South Shore office Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. shares with his wife, Alderman Sandi Jackson, was closed Thursday.
The only thing coming out of the congressman's office was a statement, saying in part: "He is undergoing further evaluation and treatment at an in-patient medical facility. According to the preliminary diagnoses from his doctors, Congressman Jackson will need to receive extended in-patient treatment as well as continuing treatment thereafter."
- MORE: Read the Full Statement
- RELATED STORY: Rev. Jesse Jackson: Son 'exhausted,' 'overwhelmed'
Washington says, while there is generally sympathy for someone seeking medical help, the vagueness of the statement can be difficult for some of his constituents.
"I think voters are much more comfortable with more information rather than less information, "said Washington. "It raises questions about the 'Why?' Why are they being so quiet? Why are they being so secretive?"
Some in Jackson Jr.'s district are concerned about the news.
"The only concern I have was the fact that there's so many different projects he has going on in this neighborhood, and how will his absence affect those projects," said Anjanette Hondras.
"I just hope that everything will be better and he gets the help that he needs," said Vivian Hayes.
The medical release about Jackson comes after longtime friend Raghuveer Nayak was charged with fraud.
Jackson is running for a 10th term. Thursday night, other candidates in the race voiced concern about how this illness is being handled.
"Especially when you get to the level of a public servant - public officer - I think there's an obligation to be a bit more open about what the conditions are," said Brian Woodworth, Jackson's Republican opponent in the 2nd Congressional District race.
Woodworth also said he is keeping Jackson in his thoughts and hopes for a speedy recovery.
"We deserve the right to know where you are and we need an immediate report of your condition, because if you are incapacitated, it is time for you to step down," said Marcus Lewis, an independent candidate also running for the 2nd Congressional District seat.
The family has not so far wished to disclose details. Rev. Jesse Jackson has not commented beyond saying he talked to his son recently and that the congressman is simply exhausted and overwhelmed. Last week, Ald. Sandi Jackson would not discuss the situation, only expressing gratitude to those who have supported her family.

Inventing the Sqweel!
What inspired you to enter Lovehoney's Design a Sex Toy competition (besides the prize money!)?
When I first spotted the Design a Sex Toy competition I was intrigued as I'd never seen a competition like it before! Being an artist I'd always had confidence in my design skills and thought it might be fun to give it some thought. Even if I couldn't think of something it'd be fun to try!
How has your life changed since you becoming the first winner of the Design a Sex toy?
When I entered the DAST competition I was a struggling artist, living in the Irish countryside with not a whole lot to do. Winning the DAST competition and having a toy on the market has allowed me to move to the awesome city of Toronto, Canada and have hobbies like comedy improv! My life has changed a lot!
Ask the Expert:
Trev Murphy"I recommend researching what kinds of sex toys are on the market already. You can only think outside the box if you know what's in the box to begin with!
Lovehoney have detailed descriptions of all their products, so take a look at the huge range of materials available to use.
Make a list of 20 toy ideas as quickly as you can, no matter how ridiculous they are. Chances are one or two of them have real potential, so just let your imagination run free.
Don't worry if your first few ideas aren't great. The Sqweel was the fifth idea I had. Stick with it, don't get disheartened and keep doodling.
Concentrate on what makes your toy unique. It's better to focus on a niche in the market than try to reinvent a popular toy such as the rabbit, which is about as amazing as it can get already!"

Mizzou official seeks review of alleged assault on swimmer
Woman stops to ask directions, raped by armed men
An investigation underway in Franklin County after a St. Louis woman says she was raped by two armed men.
The woman told officers she was driving home to St. Louis from Cuba, when she became lost. When she pulled over to ask for directions, two men--one man armed with a knife, the other with a gun--approached her car. The men proceeded to sexually assault her.
The woman was treated for the assault at a hospital. Police have only a very vague description of the suspects. The woman was not able to tell authorities which direction the men drove off.
Girl in Missouri rape case writes 1st-person account
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri teen who says she was raped by an older boy at her high school has written an account of her ordeal for an online woman's magazine.
In the article posted Friday on xojane.com, Daisy Coleman writes that the 2012 incident sent her into a spiral and she twice tried to commit suicide.
Mandy Stadtmiller, deputy editor for the website, says she asked Daisy to provide the first-person account after reading about her story.
Felony charges against two teens were dropped after the prosecutor in Maryville said the witnesses refused to cooperate.
On Wednesday, the prosecutor asked for a special prosecutor to re-examine the evidence.
Maryville officials put schools on heightened alert
MARYVILLE, Mo. (AP) - Maryville city and school officials say they are on heightened alert in response to negative attention the city is receiving over a sexual abuse case.
City, school and police officials say they are concerned about reaction expressed on social media and in phone calls after the Nodaway County prosecutor decided to drop sexual assault charges against two 17-year-old boys who were accused of sexually assaulting two younger girls.
On Monday, the activist group Anonymous released an online statement criticizing the city and police for not prosecuting the case. However, the case was handled by Nodaway County, not the city.
The Maryville Daily Forum reports police are increasing patrols to protect anyone involved with the case and school officials met Monday at all three city schools to discuss security.
UPDATE: Man accused of luring teen on phone chat, then drugging, raping her
St. Charles police believe the man accused of drugging and raping a 13 year old girl and taking nude cell phone pictures of her, probably had more victims.
Forty-seven year old Thomas Wilburn is charged with statutory sodomy, statutory rape and enticement of a child under age 14.
St. Charles County Prosecutor Tim Lohmar says Wilburn lured the girl to his apartment in May through a singles' telephone chat service that's supposed to be for adults only. Lohmar calls that disturbing. "It is very concerning that somebody who's underage could find their way, not only into the chat room, but to be able to participate in the chat room," Lohmar said.
Lohmar says this girl probably wasn't the only victim Wilburn met through the chat service. "We have reason to believe that there are other victims out there, for sure," he said.
Police say Wilburn was identified through court ordered phone records.
Wilburn is a registered sex offender with statutory rape convictions in 2007. He's currently jailed on $100,000 bond.
Jury: Ex-Ohio deputy, baby sitter guilty of rape
MARION, Ohio (AP) - A former Ohio sheriff's deputy and correction officer has been convicted of raping a 5-year-old girl while he was baby-sitting.
State Attorney General Mike DeWine announced Thursday a Marion County jury found 28-year-old Randy N. Spencer guilty of four counts of rape. His office says Spencer raped the girl between June 2012 and April.
Defense attorney Rocky Ratliff says Spencer denies the charges. He says Spencer is disappointed with the jury's decision and will appeal his conviction. He says prosecutors had no physical evidence against Spencer, whose girlfriend runs a baby-sitting business.
The Columbus Dispatch reports Spencer baby-sat the girl and other children when his girlfriend wasn't available.
The Marion resident faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. He's scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 27.
BREAKING: 4 men convicted in India gang rape case
NEW DELHI (AP) - An Indian court has convicted four men in the December gang rape of a young woman on a moving bus in New Delhi.
The men were convicted Tuesday and face the possibility of hanging. Sentences are expected to be handed down Wednesday.
The brutal rape set off waves of protest in India, giving voice to years of anger over the treatment of women and a silent epidemic of sexual harassment and rape.
Man cleared of rape and robbery thanks to DNA testing
An East St. Louis man is back home after spending nearly four months in jail for a crime he did not commit.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports that DNA evidence cleared 20-year-old Marlon Miller as a suspect in a brutal rape and robbery. The victim was walking home from a Metrolink stop in East St. Louis when someone pointed a gun at her and forced to a secluded area, then robbed and raped her.
Miller may still be headed to court, he alleges that former East St. Louis detective Orlando Ward coerced a confession to the robbery and helped charge him with sexual assault. Ward was arrested last month for allegedly being a part of a drug ring.
Relative accused of sexually assaulting 2-year-old girl
Reports of a disturbing case of sexual assault coming from Belleville.
A 45-year-old man is in custody after allegedly raping a 2-year-old girl. Officers say there was a witness present for the assault. The suspect in the case is a relative of the child. The toddler has been taken to a hospital for evaluation.
The case is now in the hands of the State's Attorney.
St. Clair Co. authorities file charges against DNA profile of unnamed suspect
Determined not to let the statute of limitations keep them from prosecuting a serial rapist, St. Clair County authorities have charged a suspect identified only by his DNA profile with a 2005 assault in East St. Louis.
The profile is linked to four other sexual assault cases between 1997 and 2008.
Prosecutors say they to the action in order to file charges before the 10 year statute of limitations runs out.
Illinois State Police Lt. Dave Wasmuth says he believes the serial rapist will eventually be arrested. "We're just waiting for his DNA to be taken, submitted to the DNA index, and a match will occur, Lt. Wasmuth said. "And then the warrant would be amended and actually put that person's name on the warrant."
St. Clair County State's Attorney Brendan Kelly says the victim, who no longer lives in the St. Louis area, is "happy" that authorities are pursing a conviction so aggressively.
This is the first time St. Clair County prosecutors have filed charges against a suspect identified only by a DNA profile, but similar legal actions have been taken elsewhere in Illinois.
Bail for the unnamed suspect has already been set at $750,000.

This hotel is beautifully maintained and managed. The rooms are clean, dark, and quiet -- the big three. The hotel also had great service. The bellhop had taken our bags upstairs before we even saw him, the toiletries smelled great, and the welcome champagne and homemade cookies were a nice touch. We were just crashing for a night after the hydrofoil, but the Grand was a pleasant surprise."
Although this is a small town and not much to do, this hotel is SPECTACULAR. The service is faultless - everyone tries to do so much more for their guests than is required. The rooms are spotless, the sea view rooms have the most amazing view. The breakfast is one of the best I've had in Europe. The pool is wonderful, with someone on hand to bring towels, chairs, coffee etc. I cannot fault this hotel at all. It's a magnificent hotel with delicious food, outstanding service, amazing views, impressive gardens, the most comfortable rooms and I cannot fault it at all. I look forward to my next visit!"
Beautiful hotel with a very friendly, helpful staff. Incredible location, walking distance to all main sights. Only problem we encountered was with the difficulty in finding the hotel by car (even with GPS). Parking was short walk away, and very reasonably priced."
Perfect location and amenity. Very helpful hosts too."
Welcoming ,comfortable and quiet. Excellent buffet breakfast especially enjoyable sitting on the terrace ."
Beautiful hotel from converted farm buildings in quiet spot within easy driving distance of Urbino. Lovely views on surrounding countryside. Pleasant if slightly echoing hotel restaurant. Rooms are clean, tastefully appointed, air conditioning a little lazy. Sadly no wi-fi (owner says electromagnetic waves are pollution). Warmly recommended."
While the hotel is a bit far from anything in Urbino, I can say that their customer service is of a very high standard. I had a number of issues, questions, requests, etc., and not once did I get any attitude from any of their member of staff. The only other thing I should mention is regarding the bus timetable. The hotel has a number of these bus timetables available at the reception, however these are not the most up to date ones. As a result, I spent twenty extra minutes in the rain waiting for a bus."

That's probably a bug. Would be nice if iTunes automatically cycled through the available artwork.
Display two album art images for any one iTunes song
I don't think this is a bug. I remember encountering this behavior (more than one album cover) in iTunes 5 when I was manually adding cover art.
It's a feature!
Actually I have no idea whether it's a feature or a bug but I prefer to hope it's a feature. Incidentally an iPod will always display the song-specific artwork if it exists, the album artwork otherwise. |

The 65th anniversary of the bikini passed this week with uncharacteristically modest fanfare. True, the original seems downright chaste when compared to the strings-and-a-couple-of-vees I've seen on the beach lately, but it was hot stuff in its time. So hot, in fact, that its inventor, Louis Réard, couldn't find a model who dared wear it. [...]

Vin Diesel Facebooks A Not Surprising (But Slightly Spoilery) Image From The FAST/FURIOUS 7 Shoot!!
Via Vin Diesel's official Facebook page comes this image from the shoot of the 7th FAST AND THE FURIOUS movie.
I'm presuming this represents the funeral of Han (Sung Kang), whose banishment featured prominently in TOKYO DRIFT before the franchise prequelized itself...only to catch up that moment once more as a tag in the recent FAST 6.
Meaning Part 7 has, at long last, fallen back into a more straight-line continuity, while also inserting Jason Statham into the mix as the reason the character was killed. This also means FF7 will also pick-up more or less immediately after Han's death in Part 3, hence the funeral supposition. All in all, such shenanigans denote one of the most audaciously conceived and brilliantly executed continuity coups in the history of film...I can't wait to see where the franchise heads from here.
The seventh F&F film, now helmed by incoming director James Wan (INSIDIOUS 1 & 2, THE CONJURING, SAW) releases Summer 2014.
