Dr. Donna J. Nelson is a professor of chemistry at the University of Oklahoma. Nelson specializes in organic chemistry, which she both researches and teaches. Nelson's career has focused on five primary areas of research generally categorized in two areas, Scientific Research and America's Scientific Readiness. Within Scientific Research, Nelson's areas have been: (1) mechanistic patterns in alkene addition reactions and (2) Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) functionalization and analysis. Under America's Scientific Readiness, she focuses on (3) science education, which includes classroom innovations and correcting organic chemistry textbook inaccuracies, (4) ethnic and gender diversity among highly-ranked science departments of research universities, and (5) improving the presentation of science and images of scientists to the public,[1][2][3] such as serving as a science advisor to the AMC television show Breaking Bad.
Education and Career Milestones[edit]
Nelson was born in Eufaula, Oklahoma. She earned her bachelor of science degree in chemistry at the University of Oklahoma. She then obtained her PhD in chemistry at the University of Texas at Austin with Michael J. S. Dewar and did post-doctorate work at Purdue University with 1979 Chemistry Nobel Laureate Herbert C. Brown.[4] After her post-doctorate studies at Purdue, Nelson joined the University of Oklahoma as a faculty member. She was a Faculty Fellow in the University of Oklahoma Provost's Office from 1989 to 1990. Nelson was a Visiting Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2003 and in 2010. She was an assistant to American Chemical Society President Ann Nalley from Nalley's election in 2004 through 2007.[5]
Scientific Research[edit]
Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) Reactions
In 2005, Nelson began applying to Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) reactions the knowledge gained from her earlier research on the effects of substituents upon reactions of alkenes. She applied nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) to examine the effects of substituents upon SWCNT reaction and association with a variety of classes of organic molecules, such as alcohols, amines, ketones, aldehdes, and nitro compounds. By doing this, she pioneered the application of NMR to functionalized and pristine SWCNT characterization and analysis.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]
Reactions of Alkenes
As a physical organic chemist, Nelson developed a new synthetically useful technique for gathering mechanistic information on addition reactions of alkenes. The investigations often permitted selection of one mechanism from several which are proposed. The technique has helped determine mechanisms of important addition reactions of alkenes, such as hydroboration, oxymercuration, bromination, the Wacker process, and the Wilkinson's catalyst reaction.[16] [17][18][19] [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]
America's Scientific Readiness[edit]
Science Education[edit]
Improving Organic Chemistry Textbooks[edit]
In 2011, Nelson examined comprehensive undergraduate organic chemistry textbooks in use at that time, in order to determine consistency in cyclohexane conformation across the texts and with research literature; they recommended changes to remedy inconsistencies in cyclohexane conformer nomenclature and structural drawings across the textbooks.[29] She and her students continue to evaluate currently-used undergraduate organic chemistry textbooks in order to identify other content at odds with research literature and characteristics which are most conducive to learning.[30]
Classroom Innovations[edit]
Nelson utilized her teaching assignment of large sections of organic chemistry to develop and evaluate learning devices for her students.[31][32][33][34][35][36][37] The devices use a visual, rather than oral or written, presentation; two were adopted by publishers to accompany their major organic chemistry textbooks. She also surveyed students in order to determine factors which influence students to select or remain in science majors.[38][39] Nelson's research results and materials from an education project, designed by Oklahoma high school students and involving precipitate-forming reactions conducted in microgravity on board the STS-40, are the subject of a permanent educational exhibit demonstrating the scientific method, at the Oklahoma Air and Space Museum.[40][41]
Research on Diversity in Science[edit]
From FY2001 to FY2004, Nelson surveyed tenured and tenure-track university faculty members of the "top 50" departments in each of 14 science and engineering disciplines (chemistry, physics, mathematics, chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, political science, sociology, economics, biological sciences, and psychology).[42] Data were collected about race/ethnicity, gender, and rank, and are complete populations, rather than samples, so they accurately reveal the small number or complete absence of underrepresented groups. Data for all disciplines were obtained simultaneously and by a consistent protocol and are therefore comparable across a large number of disciplines. These became known as the Nelson Diversity Surveys.
That first study revealed that generally, women and minorities are significantly underrepresented on these faculties. For example, the first survey, completed in FY2002, showed that there were no black, Hispanic, or Native American tenured or tenure track women faculty in the top 50 computer science departments. For chemistry and chemical engineering faculties, her additional national origin data revealed that, recently, more immigrants have been hired as faculty than American females and American minorities combined.[43] Analogous surveys were carried out for top 100 departments in each of 15 science and engineering disciplines, including earth science, in FY2005 and in FY2007.
Nelson's diversity research has been cited by dozens of newspapers, magazines, and journals, including Nature,[44] The New York Times,[45][46] The Christian Science Monitor,[47] and CNN.[48] The Government Accountability Office used Nelson's data for its July 2004 report to Congress on Title IX, specifically women's access to opportunities in the sciences.[49] Nelson has also written about diversity in the STEM fields for outlets, such as PBS[50] and the Association for Women in Science.[51]
Image of Science and Scientists in Society[edit]
Science Advisor to AMC TV Series "Breaking Bad[edit]
Nelson is a proponent of scientific accuracy in television, film, and other moving media, as well as promoting the intersections of scientific communities and the public. She is one of the science advisers for the AMC TV series, Breaking Bad. After a plea for scientific help from the show's creator, Vince Gilligan, Nelson volunteered to advise the show in regards to organic chemistry. Dr. Nelson checked scripts and provided dialogue for the television show Breaking Bad.[52][53][54][55][56] She also drew chemical structures and wrote chemical equations which were used as props. According to executive producer/creator Vince Gilligan, "[Because] Walter White was talking to his students, I was able to dumb down certain moments of description and dialogue in the early episodes which held me until we had some help from some honest-to-god chemists. We have a [chemist] named Dr. Donna Nelson at the University of Oklahoma who is very helpful to us and vets our scripts to make sure our chemistry dialogue is accurate and up to date. We also have a chemist with the Drug Enforcement Association based out of Dallas who has just been hugely helpful to us."[57] Gilligan said, "Dr. Donna Nelson from the University of Oklahoma approached us several seasons back and said, "I really like this show, and if you ever need help with the chemistry, I'd love to lend a hand. She's been a wonderful advisor. We get help wherever we need it, whether it's chemistry, electrical engineering, or physics. We try to get everything correct. There's no full-time [advisor] on set, but we run certain scenes by these experts first."[58] Nelson spoke of Gilligan's interested in having the science right, "[He] said it made a difference to him."[59]
Hollywood Chemistry" Symposia[edit]
In order to span the science and entertainment communities, she organized a "Hollywood Chemistry" symposium at the March 2011 ACS National Meeting at Anaheim, CA.[60] The symposium was so well-received that she was asked to organize a second symposium for the August 2011 ACS National Meeting at Denver, CO, "Science on the Hollywood Screen."[61][62]
Big Bang Theory, Ig Nobel Award, and Other Contributions[edit]
She participated in the "Geek of the Week" program of David Saltzberg, by visiting the set of The Big Bang Theory in March 2013. In the 2011 Ig Nobel Awards, she gave a 24/7 presentation on her SWCNT research, in which she gave a technical talk appropriate for scientists to describe the work in 24 seconds, followed by 7 words which would clarify the work to all laypeople. The seven words were "SWCNT analyses should be shaken, not stored."[63]
Native Americans and Diabetes[edit]
She collaborated with Native American tribes to determine incidences in, effects of, and attitudes toward diabetes in Oklahoma Native Americans.[64]
Awards and Honors[edit]
Nelson has received a number of honors and awards. These include being named American Chemical Society (ACS) Fellow (2010), Oklahoma Higher Education Hall of Fame, (2013)[65] ACS Oklahoma Chemist of the Year (2012), Women's eNews 21 Leaders for the 21st Century (2006), American Association for the Advancement of Science AAAS Fellow (2005), and Minority Health Professions Foundation Hall of Fame Inductee (2005). She has also received the ACS Nalley Award (2011), ACS Israel Award (2011), a Guggenheim Fellowship (2003), a National Organization for Women "Woman of Courage" Award (2004), a Ford Foundation Fellowship (2003), a Fulbright Scholarship (2007), a SACNAS Distinguished Scientist Award (2006), a National Science Foundation (NSF) ADVANCE Leadership Award (2006), Oklahoma Outstanding Professor Award (2005), Sigma Xi Faculty Research Award (2001), and NSF Special Creativity Extension (1989).[66]
Nelson has written more than 100 peer-reviewed publications,[67] and has given hundreds of invited presentations to national meetings of professional societies and organizations, universities, and radio and TV programs, such as The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer[68] and Marketplace Morning Report.[69] The Journal of Organic Chemistry cover of February 4, 2005, and the ACS's Division of Organic Chemistry Calendar cover of September, 2006, each featured her research.[70] The Chemical Heritage Foundation (2009), Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (2004), and JustGarciaHill (2003) each collected her history to add to their collections of prominent scientist biographies.[71][72][73]

- Pros
- smooth & comfortable, fast, superior fuel economy for a V6
- Cons
- tap shifts are superfluous, some plasticy knobs need upgrade
Purchased As New
I checked out the competition & they're just not in this league. The 3.5L is a proven engine that works seamlessly with the 6 speed automatic. Seats are super comfortable on long trips. JBL HDD Navi & Bluetooth works as advertised. The Michelin Primacy tires are a vast improvement over the Touranzas on other models.This car is fast and I am just amazed a Camry handles like this. You cannot buy a better car for this price. It's just a great car.

A 61-year-old Texas man developed an infection in his gut that reportedly turned the sugars and starches he ate into ethanol, getting him drunk.
"He would get drunk out of the blue - on a Sunday morning after being at church, or really, just anytime," Barabara Cordell, the dean of nursing at Panola College in Carthage, Texas, told news site NPR.
"His wife was so dismayed about it that she even bought a breathalyser."
The condition is known as gut fermentation syndrome, or Auto-Brewery Syndrome. The man showed up at the hospital reporting dizziness and with a blood alcohol level of 0.37 - enough to kill a person.
That's according to the report from the International Journal of Clinical Medicine. He was likely infected with the yeast from something he ate or drank - which could have been compounded by the fact he dabbled in home-brewing and likely had plenty of live yeast around the house.
This isn't the first time this syndrome has shown up - it's been seen a few dozen times under different names. That doesn't mean you have to fear the yeast in your home brew kit. Nor should you swallow it in hopes of making your own gut-brew.
The yeast will just slip through the intestines of healthy people without lodging in there. Each case seems to follow a round of antibiotics, which kills off the local, healthy bacteria leaving a space for the yeast to grow.
Now that's a beer gut.

Microstructural Characterization of Damage in Thermomechanically Fatigued Sn-Ag Based Solder Joints
Authors: Choi, S.; Lee, J.G.; Subramanian, K.N.; Lucas, J.P.; Bieler, T.R.
Source: Journal of Electronic Materials, Volume 31, Number 4, 1 April 2002 , pp. 292-297(6)
Publisher: Springer
Sn-Ag based solder joints of 100-m thickness were thermomechanically fatigued between -15°C and +150°C with a ramp rate of 25°C/min for the heating segment and 7°C/min for the cooling segment. The hold times were 20 min at high temperature extreme and 300 min at the low temperature extreme. Surface damage accumulation predominantly consisted of shear banding, surface relief due to Sn-grain extrusion, grain boundary sliding, and grain decohesion usually near the solder/substrate interface. Small alloy additions were found to affect the extent of this surface damage accumulation.Keywords: DAMAGE CHARACTERIZATION; EUTECTIC SN-AG; LEAD-FREE SOLDER; SOLDER; THERMOMECHANICAL FATIGUE

LOGANVILLE, Ga. — A woman hiding in her attic with children shot an intruder multiple times before fleeing to safety Friday.
The incident happened at a home on Henderson Ridge Lane in Loganville around 1 p.m. The woman was working in an upstairs office when she spotted a strange man outside a window, according to Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman. He said she took her 9-year-old twins to a crawlspace before the man broke in using a crowbar.
But the man eventually found the family.
"The perpetrator opens that door. Of course, at that time he's staring at her, her two children and a .38 revolver," Chapman told Channel 2's Kerry Kavanaugh.
The woman then shot him five times, but he survived, Chapman said. He said the woman ran out of bullets but threatened to shoot the intruder if he moved.

How come this is not all over Fox News and the other media channels. Might I suggest that the women purchase a 40 or 45 caliber handgun, that way her potential home invasion subject would not be charged with a crime and spend the next how many ever years in a prison at tax payers expense.
All that would be required, would be a burial, if she used a higher caliber weapon. Good job, and congratulations for a job almost well done. It did save her and her children's lives, without a gun in her possession they might all three have been murdered, so you see, once again, guns do save lives.

The Libtards are probabaly sad that she was not arrested and charged with discharging a firearm within city limits and say the intruder was only looking at them blah,blah, blah.

Please post more articles like this on your site, I will share every one of them to Facebook to help counter the Liberal medias hype that guns serve no purpose other than death. We need to see more stories like this one in order to combat the assault on our second amendment rights and educate that self defense is a real need in our growing violent society.
The NRA has the Armed Citizen in its American Rifleman publication, but only NRA members are able to read these articles. We need something on the Web for all to easily access.

The police by LAW have no legal obligation, not liable to protect you (citation below). If the Second Amendment is invalidated this will leave everyone with only the police to protect them or will you just think they are?
The police have never been in the protection business. They are in the "responding to the scene of the crime" business.
Criminals will be embolden with a no citizen protection law and no guns.
The over worked under paid, already had enough of society police are NOT going to be of any help to you in a crime being perpetrated on you or when SHTF. The police are just people and can't be everywhere all the time.
This is a video from the Sons of Liberty. It is a distributing video and shows how unrestrained the police are becoming.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVmGWLsn0iMH. R. 648 This Act may be cited as the `Citizens' Self-Defense Act of 2003′.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Police cannot protect, and are not legally liable for failing to protect, individual citizens, as evidenced by the following:
(A) The courts have consistently ruled that the police do not have an obligation to protect individuals, only the public in general. For example, in Warren v. District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department, 444 A.2d 1 (D.C. App. 1981), the court stated: `[C]ourts have without exception concluded that when a municipality or other governmental entity undertakes to furnish police services, it assumes a duty only to the public at large and not to individual members of the community.'.
(B) Former Florida Attorney General Jim Smith told Florida legislators that police responded to only 200,000 of 700,000 calls for help to Dade County authorities.
(C) The United States Department of Justice found that, in 1989, there were 168,881 crimes of violence for which police had not responded within 1 hour.
(2) Citizens frequently must use firearms to defend themselves, as evidenced by the following:
(A) Every year, more than 2,400,000 people in the United States use a gun to defend themselves against criminals–or more than 6,500 people a day. This means that, each year, firearms are used 60 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives.
(B) Of the 2,400,000 self-defense cases, more than 192,000 are by women defending themselves against sexual abuse.
(C) Of the 2,400,000 times citizens use their guns to defend themselves every year, 92 percent merely brandish their gun or fire a warning shot to scare off their attackers. Less than 8 percent of the time, does a citizen kill or wound his or her attacker.

A .38 revolver is a fine home defense weapon for a woman who knows only the basics of self preservation with a firearm, no doubt the case here. Shot placement and bullet selection are of vital consideration as well. The fact the woman shot 5 times is evidence in itself that she was shook, (understandibly) and uncertain of her shot placement (practice), typical of most female home invasion shootings. I doubt all 5 shots connected with her intended target, which by a different standard once again makes the case for the .38 (special I presume), in a home defensive situation, it's lack of over penitration. I prefer the larger calibers myself or at least a .357 mag for the very same reason pointed out here. I'd rather be tried by 12 than to be carried by 6.
bobmann101January 6, 2013 at 11:16 am — Log in to Reply
I agree, but a 357 magnum is a bit much for most women. She should have had hollow points. Myself I perfer a my shotgun. Hearing a shotgun being pumped is a good deterrent. 99% of intruders will turn around and leave as quietly as possible..
ibaconiJanuary 6, 2013 at 3:58 pm — Log in to Reply
Indeed guns do save lives. Unfortunately for those of us interested in personal liberty & freedom/responsibility, they also inhibit total governmental control. This is the reason self-defense is under attack from the commielib left. There is no logical defense of the absurd concept that "gun control" reduces crime, in fact the reverse is absolutely proven. There is only one reason government develops an interest in "gun control" or any other "control" and that is because government is an evolutionary organism. What it focuses on is itself, it's own further development, growth and security. The founders, particularly the anti-federalist amongst them, recognized this and wrote a constitution designed to limit this evolution. Yes, the very Constitution being ignored by that self-serving organism (our government) today. I haven't verified this yet, but I'm told our magnificent congress is voting on an amendment to remove term limits from the Presidency (surprise, surprise). At the very core of the evolution of an absolutely controlling "government" is professionalism. Term limits and lack of "benefits" would deter the motivation.

Good for her! But I read somewhere else that she shot him 5 times IN THE FACE AND NECK, and the bastard still survived?? The perp must have some hard face!
bobmann101January 6, 2013 at 6:35 pm — Log in to Reply
Being that she fired 5 time tells me she was shaken and might have closed here eyes. If here aim was on he would be dead. I bet the Liberals want her charged with discharging a weapon in side city limits.

NORWALK, Ohio —
Samuel (Sam) D. Hartzell, 68, of Norwalk, Ohio, died Sunday, Sept. 1, 2013, at his home after a lengthy and hard-fought battle with cancer. A long time educator, community member and overall loving man, he will be truly missed by many.
Sam was born Feb. 17, 1945, at home in Adamsville to the late Aaron and Anna Mae Butterfield Hartzell. He graduated from Linesville High School in 1963 and graduated from Edinboro University with a degree in education. He worked for Norwalk City schools, where he later retired after more than 40 years teaching subjects in social studies and world geography. He was never far from teaching as he also administered the GED test several times a year and assisted students with graduating who were in an alternative program.
In his retirement, he was very active with Meals on Wheels, Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army, Friends of the Norwalk Library, the Norwalk Lions Club, and also gave tours at the Marblehead Lighthouse. He had a love for the ocean and would frequent the Outer Banks of North Carolina every year.
He is survived by his wife, Carolyn Burr Hartzell; and three children, Lanny and Vicky Howell of Norwalk, Deanna Engelhardt (Tim Bell) of Canandaigua, N.Y., and Nicole Betschman of Laurel, Md. He is also survived by three grandchildren, Joe Farris, Hayley Engelhardt and Marissa Moyer; in addition to three great-grandchildren, Joseph Farris II, Bentley Pounds and Aiden Moyer. He is also survived by his sister, Janice Easler of Greenville; and two brothers, Grant and Shirley Hartzell of Grove City, and Gary and Lana Hartzell of Linesville. He also has several nieces, nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews whom he loved greatly.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife, Mildred Wise Hartzell; his brother, Thomas Hartzell; and his nephew, Alan Zoner.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Stein Hospice, 2500 Sycamore Line Drive, Sandusky, Ohio 44870; or the flower fund of Norwalk Presbyterian Church, 21 Firelands Blvd., Norwalk, Ohio 44857.
A memorial service will be held Saturday at 11 a.m. at Norwalk Presbyterian Church.
Arrangements will be handled by Walker Funeral Home of Norwalk, Ohio. Online condolences may be made by going to edwalkerfuneralhome.com.

Burg Hornberg: With its oldest parts dating from the 12th century, this is one of the best of more than a dozen castles between Heidelberg and Stuttgart.
Stuttgart's museums: Top art galleries like the Staatsgalerie or the Kunstmuseum contrast with the Mercedes and Porsche museums, where the history of the auto mobil is illustrated by classic cars, from posh limousines to sleek racing cars.
Tübingen Altstadt: With its half-timber houses, winding alleyways, and hilltop setting overlooking the Neckar, Tübingen is the quintessential German experience.

Maybe. On the other hand, 10 year terms means no movie company ever has to pay the author of a book for making the movie out of a book, or adher to the authors wishes. Just wait the years out.
Re:Nice concept (262 comments)
The main benefit is that it runs faster. 64-bit pointers take up twice the space in caches, and especially L1 cache is very space-limited. Loading and storing them also takes twice the bandwidth to main memory.
So for code with lots of complex data types (as opposed to big arrays of floating point data), that still has to run fast, it makes sense. I imagine the Linux kernel developers No1 benchmark of compiling the kernel would run noticably faster with gcc in x32.
The downside is that you need a proper fully functional multi-arch system like is slowly getting adopted by Debian in order to handle multiple ABIs. And then you get into iffy things on if you want the faster
Re:Whoever extracts elements first wins. (58 comments)
Gernalized way? Not likely. But in this particular setting (electronic scrap), there is plenty of activity. I know these because they make the local news: http://www.boliden.com/Operations/Smelters/E-scrap-project/ - but there are several competitors to them too. Lots of copper and gold and other metals in electronics that is commercially recyclable given that someone sorts it out and throws the electronics in containers with just electronics.

Re:Complication of making a distribution (63 comments)
The turbo mode stuff together with the kernel and firmware all come from the same raspberrypi.org repository. Raspbian is really the Debian:y environment around this.
If you want to run Debian, you can do that too (at a performance penalty since you need to use the soft float version, armhf is targeted for a newer version of ARM than is in the Raspberry Pis). You still need the same non-free blobs to do anything graphical etc though.
Re:Complication of making a distribution (63 comments)
Yes, it is called Raspbian, which is Debian with a recompile for the target and some installer tweaks and hooks for pulling in the necessary non-free stuff from raspberrypi.org which comes from the pi being a closed platform.
Xbian, RaspBMC, etc take Raspbian and then make a custom install based on a package presets and some scripts for automagic setup for those that think Debian is "too complicated". And apparently lots of drama.

Yup, I happily fork my CC number over to anything that reasonably legit. Of course, my bank is nice enough to create a unique CC number with a charge limit on my request, so there's only so much they can steal.
Re:SSH keys? (101 comments)
Well, you'd still need keys on your laptop to get to the server. So now you have two places where your keys can be stolen and used to login everywhere you trust your keys.
For the case where you actually do need direct communication between two servers you probably want to do agent forwarding instead of having more keys in your authorized_keys. Remember that every single entry there is a point of failure, and any one of them getting compromised means that your account is likely to get owned.
Now there are special cases where having more keys is useful, but most of the time they just open up more vectors for someone to steal them and break into other computers.
Of course, even then, they are better than passwords, at least if they have proper passphrases. Not too uncommon to see lots of passphrase-less keys in home directories on multi-user servers though.
Re:SSH keys? (101 comments)
It is an unfortunately common case that people copy/create private ssh keys on servers to login (or scp) from those to another remote host. These keys are of course compromised.
Re:Keep perspective (395 comments)
Back-of-a-napkin simulation, one train every other minute out of each penn and grand central, 5k per train (long trains with people standing), about 24h. So not terrible, but would require both lots of planning, lots of resources (especially enough rolling stock to get people to where is safe and then return empty in time to not have gaps in the schedule), and great execution.
You could probably augment this by using the subway to get people out a bit and then having more places to change, depending a bit on where the bottlenecks are in the rail system. Also depends on how far they need to evacuate, are [some of] the endpoints of metro north good enough?
Highways might help if few enough use them, but the problem there is that capacity goes down significantly once overloaded. But in terms of a mass evacuation, it'd probably be best if the roads were kept reasonably clear for buses and evacuations for the elderly and sick that can't stand upright for an hour or two.
Re:ssh is the same (298 comments)
Stop allowing password-based access. There is no way anyone is going to be able to guess a key by connecting and trying them.
Re:Just a thought (406 comments)
There is no such requirement!
One of the many possibilities for choosing the local part of the network is using the MAC address of the network interface. There are several other choices available, like choosing one manually or generating a random one (you can in fact generate random ones rather frequently, see "privacy extensions").
Depending on your OS vendor, one of these will be the default behavior, but you don't have to do it that way if you don't like it.

TMZ has learned ... legendary rapper Kurtis Blow was busted at LAX this morning after a TSA body scanner detected an item in his pocket ... a stash of weed.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the body scan detected "an anomaly' in his pants -- yes, we thought that was funny as well. A subsequent pat down revealed pot in his pocket.
Kurtis received a ticket -- standard operating procedure when it's under an ounce -- and went on his merry way.
These are the breaks ... next time Mr. Blow, try the pat down.
Colin I agree with you. He could fight this and and there does need to be some legislation outlining what these scanners are for. As for the person who said she doesn't know who Curtis is, Google him idiot. You sound like the people who say Taylor Swift is not a star just because they don't know her. Curtis Blow is a rap pioneer.
Google him he started the whole rap thing from the start..Buuutttt the weed seems to be causing him to have problems remembering, with all the hoopla about the searches at the airport he should have known better.
C'mon people, if you are going to travel with your stash, at least be smart about it. If you plan on taking it with you to make your travel/vacation all it can be, why wouldn't you take the time to figure out your plan before heading to the airport? People like this clown deserve to get caught!! Dumbazz
Wow, it sounds as if you idiots approve of pot. I bet you're the same anal morons who complain about smokers and the second hand smoke.
#5 is right on the money. They are supposed to be searching for weapons. Instead they are using these searches as a profit center. Weed never took down a plane.
@tifosi, If you haven't heard of the legendary Kurtis Blow, perhaps you are a really young and know NOTHING of hiphop and its origins.
This is EXACTLY why I do not like to travel by plane... It is just ridiculous that we can not bring our HERB without being treated like a criminal! BUT my question for this situation is: DID YOU HAVE YOUR DOCTOR'S RECOMMENDATION WITH YOU, KB? Can they still give you a ticket if you do? I mean, it IS medicine!
I think he was on his way to bail out Willy Nelson. Or wait, he got his pants wet and borrowed a friends pair, and the weed just happened to be there. It must have been ****ty Mexican weed to not smell up the place. Good weed stinks.
see??! now that is the problem with pot smokers!! they forget where they put EVERYTHING! that is one thing where they are 100% dependeble! the one and only thing, by the way...;D 'oh sorry officer...i forgot it was there..'!
@tifosi, If you haven't heard of the legendary Kurtis Blow, perhaps you are a really young and know NOTHING of hiphop and its origins.
actually this dumb as s ripped off his name from a Lynryd Skynryd song about a legendary blues man named curtis low..you obviously know nothiin about anything an are a complete tard if you think hip hop has any origins or originality
yes Tifosi44. L-E-G-E-N-D-A-R-Y!...
So because you never heard of someone, they must not exist, or did hip hop begin and end with Eminem with you?

Most Media To Suffer Retrenchment in 2009
Regarding the advertising environment, the Fitch media team is more cautious than most major advertising forecasts, none of which currently predict advertising to be nearly as weak as 2001.
Fitch's cautious view about advertising is, in part, supported by these underlying conditions:
- The 2001 ad downturn was concentrated in national advertising, while the 2008-2010 downturn will include both local and national components. Political and Olympic spending masked the local market weakness in 2008, but the report says the absence of these revenue sources in 2009 will expose the depth of this weakness.
- This weakness in local markets will be compounded by national advertising pressures due to the impact of the credit market events that hit while many large national advertisers were planning their 2009 ad spending budgets, forcing many companies to emphasize capital preservation and liquidity, not just earnings growth.
- With advertising being one of the most easily scalable fixed costs, some major advertisers could plan to pull back on national campaigns considerably until there is more visibility in the market.
Five of the top 10 advertising categories, or over 40% of the ad mix (according to Advertising Age), will be under meaningful pressure next year, says the report:
- No.1 Retail (12% of total)
- No.2 Automotive (12%)
- No.5 Financial Services (6%)
- No.6 General Services (6%)
- No.9 Airlines, Hotels and Car Rentals (4%)
And, notes the report, advertising inventory has proliferated (from online and emerging mediums as well as traditional ones) since previous downturns. Media companies are likely to compete more heavily on price in this downturn to fill the vast supply of ad space available.
Advertisers have many more options in the current environment than at any other time for maintaining a presence with consumers while trimming their budgets and scaling back high Cost Per Thousand (CPM) advertising campaigns, says the report. Even healthy advertisers are likely to use this increased bargaining power to command better price terms and concessions from media companies.
The study offers trends and outlooks for several advertising subsectors in the report, as estimated by Fitch:
Newspaper industry revenue growth will be negative for the foreseeable future as both ad pricing and linage will be under pressure within each of the four main components of newspaper companies' revenue streams. Fitch believes more newspapers and newspaper groups will default, be shut down and be liquidated in 2009 and several cities could go without a daily print newspaper by 2010.
Few markets will be able to support more than two directories and most markets will eventually only be able to support one book. Another year of accelerated declines in yellowpages advertising could significantly pressure the intermediate-term solvency of the two pure-play incumbent directories companies.
Terrestrial Radio
Radio has no unionized workforces, and convert a higher percentage of EBITDA to free cash flow giving them more cushion to endure the secular challenges. Listenership is likely to continue to fall, though available inventory should remain relatively stable, and pricing could be up on some advertisers. Internet streaming provides additional day parts to sell. The continued roll-out of factory-installed high definition (HD) radio into automobiles could provide upside to listenership.
Fitch expects the larger players to rationalize available print advertising inventory through consolidation and closing down titles. Several categories that used to have multiple titles will likely have advertising bases that can support only one major title. With limited catalysts for growth in the core print product, magazine publishers have become more proactive online.
Fitch believes the potential negative effects of increased inventory from digital roll-outs should be tempered by increasing appeal to national advertisers, as well as decreases in price per unit. Cost structures should benefit from digital billboards, as displays can be centrally managed without physical deployment of work crews. Low CPMs and better networked national sales pitches, position outdoor advertising companies to endure the downturn and rebound with the economy.
Cable Networks
Cable industry ad inventory has grown significantly over the past several years, causing a deceleration of the decades-long increase in ad dollars, but cable continues to be a targeted medium, at a lower price relative to broadcast and with significant reach. Fitch expects it to continue to gain share from broadcast. Fitch expects the cable networks to continue to embrace VOD and digital strategies, which could provide some modest upside to revenue growth.
Online could be negatively affected by advertisers scaling back experimental expenditures in favor of more proven, performance-based mediums. Search is likely to be more healthy than display. Remnant advertising is likely to be hit by a shakeout in the ad network space. While CPM growth is likely to moderate and could be under pressure, online video and social networking are likely to support growth. Regulatory issues associated with privacy could be a factor as firms attempt to implement more behavioral targeting. Over the longer term, online advertising is expected to rebound from economic weakness and continue to capture share from traditional outlets.

Jack, I agree with your point that advertisers are turning towards more proven mediums. In fact, my team has been involved with marketing and media accountability. There is campaign called Buy Safe Media—backed by BPA, ABC, ANA, AAAA, ACA, CMA, ABM, BMA and the CMO Council, among others. Their goal is to promote accountability through media circulation audits (visit www.buysafemedia.com for info about media auditing). When marketers can prove to CEOs that their ad spend went to the right people, it helps to quantify ROI.

Manet and the American Civil War: The Battle of the "Kearsarge" and the "Alabama"by David Degener
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This fascinating book focuses on The Metropolitan Museum of Art's recent acquisition, The "Kearsarge" at Boulogne, by Edouard Manet (1832-1883). During the American Civil War, when Union forces blocked Confederate ports, the Confederacy countered by waging guerrilla warfare on Union merchant shipping. One of the most skilled Confederate raiders was the sloop-of-war Alabama. On June 19, 1864, the U.S.S. Kearsarge and the C.S.S. Alabama fought off the coast of Cherbourg, France. The Alabama sank less than two hours after the first shot was fired. The battle captured the attention of the French people, and Manet, who as a teenager had served in the Frech navy, raced to Boulogne to see the victorious Kearsarge. He painted a depiction of the battle (which he did not witness), now in Philadelphia, as well as a portrait of the Kearsarge, now in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. This volume contains essays about the Metropolitan's picture and five additional seascapes painted by Manet in Boulogne during the summer of 1864. Related works by other artists, photographs, and newspaper articles are also included.
