CURRENT ISSUE (#50) Spring/Summer 2012
by Zana Previti
I. My brother Sasha is back in Russia now, accelerating particles in a physics lab outside Moscow, and I've written him some letters but all he sends back are plaintive, cryptic notes. "Send PEANUT BUTTER," he writes, "Send colored pencils." "Send mousetraps." In another, "Machines are the saddest songs of the human throat-makers." The last one he sent: "Wizard of Oz: what a farce." He writes the notes on the backs of Polaroid photos of himself at work in the acceleration lab. If he were not a genius, I would worry about him.
In the lab, they call him "Critter": it is his job to crawl into the particle accelerator and clean it from the inside; he wears a large and heavy fur coat that buttons up his neck and covers his feet and he puts on this coat and a pair of fur mittens and crawls through the accelerator slowly, dragging himself and wedging himself through until the inside is swept clean of debris and dust and dissimulation. When he comes out the other side, he holds his arms out like a Roman, crucified, and the other scientists beat him with paper folders. The dirt comes off him in clouds.
II. When we were still living in Russia and hadn't yet been taught to wear clothes during the daytime, or to eat with forks and knives, my brother Sasha pushed me down a flight of concrete stairs. I don't remember it—it seems unlikely that it happened at all—but my father has a photo in which I, naked and dirty, stand in the snowy parking lot of our apartment building, where I had gone intending to tell him what Sasha had done, how badly I had been injured, but had succeeded only in standing frozen on the asphalt and weeping at him, so sorry for myself and sad and unsure. In the upper right hand corner you can see Sasha leaning out the window of our rooms. He is fully dressed, and his hair falls over his eyes so it seems that he peers at us through a villain's mask. He leans out into the cold and his hands are small and grasp the sill of the window, and he watches me to see what I will say.
III. Two days before Thanksgiving, my brother called me from the airport.
"I'm here," he said into the phone, and when I asked him what he meant by "here," he replied that he meant he was standing on the second level of Dulles International Airport.
"You're not in Russia?" I said.
"Come get me," he said, and hung up.
He hadn't shaved in the fourteen months he'd spent in the motherland, and in my car his body smelled like winter and root tea. He sat in the backseat and kept his knapsack on his lap.
"How long are you here for?" I asked him. I looked in the rearview mirror to see his face. He had fallen asleep.
On Thanksgiving, we ate turkey jerky at a lookout above National Falls. He had so much beard that I could not see his jaws move as he chewed. My own jaws hurt, and the next day I drove him to the airport, and then he was gone, again, for years.
IV. My brother stood over the stove. He wore only boxer shorts, plaid ones he had borrowed from my suitcase because he had forgotten his own.
"Wait for it to be ready," I told him, but using his index finger and thumb as pincers he reached into the pan and pulled from it a chunk of half-pink hamburger meat, gray where it had only just touched the hot oil at the bottom, pink and frost-covered at the top. He popped it into his mouth and chewed it, and the ice made soft crunching sounds between his teeth. His feet were bare and his chest was bare and he shifted from foot to foot.
"Sasha," I said, and I sighed. "Wait for it to be done."
He chewed it and swallowed it but didn't look at me; he kept his face over the pan.
"Meat ice cream," he said. "It's like meat ice cream."
He reached in, again, for another bite, but it had cooked more thoroughly, and each bite he pulled from the pan was less and less like the first.
V. Our favorite game as children was Soviet Missile.
Sasha was always blindfolded first. I would leave him while I gathered an armload of things and then I would come back to the hallway where Sasha stood rod-like, his arms rigid and his chin down, and I would stand at my end of the hallway, my toes behind the line that we had agreed on. I would throw the first thing at my brother and then, based on the force of it and the feel of it and the gust of wind it took from him or did not take from him, he would say what he thought I had thrown. If he guessed wrong, I hurled my second thing at him, and if he guessed right, he pulled off his blindfold and I tied it around my own eyes and he would leave me to gather his own missiles. His missiles were impossible to guess, he threw the softest things at me, so that they touched my skin for a kiss, a breath, and were gone.

On March 8th, 2013, Snarky Puppy and a host of special guests convened at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke VA. The dream, envisioned by Michael League, was to record a series of live performances in audio and video that would bring attention and benefit to the ongoing work of Jefferson Center's education programs, such as Music Lab.
As Snarky Puppy set up to record yet another live recording with the audience on the stage, special guests with an interest in supporting the project arrived. Lalah Hathaway, N'Dambi, Lucy Woodward, and Chantae Cann joined Malika Tirolien, Magda Giannikou, Shayna Steele and Tony Scherr in what was to become a legendary live session that celebrates the diversity and joy of live music. With the stunningly beautiful theater as a backdrop, the result is a masterpiece of Jazz, R&B, Gospel, and Blues music captured for the world to fully experience.
Snarky Puppy's Family Dinner will not only captivate, but will benefit Jefferson Center's education programs with every album sold worldwide. Additionally, the DVD features a series of incredible performances from Music Lab students, highlighting the best of what Southwest Virginia's young musicians have to offer, while putting the Star City on the map for world class offerings and arts opportunities.
Snarky Puppy's Family Dinner album sets a standard for future events and recordings. The concept of recording live with a limited audience intimately mixed with the artists is a testament to the creativity and positive energy of Snarky Puppy. Eight tracks appear on the CD, with additional tracks available on the DVD.
Music Lab Floyd is a pilot program that is adapting the existing program in Roanoke to work in a rural community. It meets twice a week at the Junebug Center in Floyd County. Contact Dylan Locke for details and applications at dlocke[at]jeffcenter[dot]org or (540) 343-2624 ext. 215

CALEA and Tech Mandates
CALEA is a 1994 law requiring telephone companies to design their networks to make them easy for the government to tap. Regulators have extended the CALEA mandate to Internet service providers. CDT resisted this expansion and is continuing to fight design mandates that will threaten privacy and impede innovation.
More background information on CALEA can be found here.

The Wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest
Return to TopWith its plentiful rainfall, the Pacific Northwest is a great garden for wild flowers. What botanists call The Pacific Forest is unique on the continent, and is known for its grand stands of large fir, spruce, hemlock, cedar and redwoods, plus a huge diversity of smaller native plants and flowers.
With comparatively mild temperatures year round, your region has its own distinct group of native wildflowers, and many of them are in our mixtures.

Can Social Security Make The Leap To E-Banking?
By editor
Originally published on Wed February 13, 2013 12:01 pm
Beginning March 1st, many people who receive social security and other federal benefits will no longer receive paper checks. The Treasury Department says sending payments electronically will save nearly a billion dollars. But some experts say it could affect the "un-banked." Host Michel Martin talks with The Wall Street Journal's Sudeep Reddy.

Real Tweets From Real People - Matt Millen
I had anticipated taking a larger look at all the announcing from the day after New Year's Day... until the Fiesta Bowl last night. That was when Matt Millen had a largely exclusive broadcast window for the nation to revel in his football knowledge, weird logic, mixed up cliches, and overall ineptitude as an announcer. As I wrote on Twitter last night, it was an epic performance in the annals of AA - on par with what Vince Young did to USC in the National Championship Game. Before your tweets about Matt Millen, here are just some of the announcing gems he laid on the nation last night. Confucius would be proud...
"He bores you with completions, he bores you with efficiency," on Andrew Luck.
"You can't make a small mistake, like falling down... which is a big mistake."
Calling Jesse Palmer - "Jesse the Body."
"Sometimes you have to lose one for the Gipper."
"They'll both do well at the next level. BRANDON WEEDEN IS 28 YEARS OLD!"
"It's not about the decision making (of Luck), it's the decision making under pressure."
"He's hungry. You feed him."
"It's strength vs weakness on both sides, but it's the weakness who is stronger.. is the team that will prevail"
"When he gets inside of a guy and bends his hips, he's pretty good"
"That was helmet to helmet... I like it."
That's a complete list of Pammies quotes all by himself! Liking helmet to helmet hits? Being bored by Andrew Luck's performance? Insulting the legacy of Jesse "The Body" Ventura?!?! What was ESPN thinking giving Matt Millen the best bowl matchup outside of the national championship game on the night of January 2nd? Stanford v Oklahoma State will certainly be memorable for being a dramatic classic, but it's also memorable for us to remember what college football fans think of ESPN's #2 analyst.
Is it too late for Millen to enter the Texas Senate race too? As always, these are Real Tweets from Real People...
tulok @awfulannouncing Honestly would've preferred Craig James doing the game over Matt Millen.
coolgato13 @awfulannouncing Guys Matt Millen belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Awful Announcing, don`t you think?
bflo360 Why couldn't Craig James make Matt Millen his campaign chief? @awfulannouncing
the_real_cwurst @awfulannouncing Can we make every play in OT a field goal, so that Millen has to do the math out loud?
CreetIdle @awfulannouncing Yikes. How awful was that listening to Millen do math on air?
Eagan3112 My God Matt Millen is terrible. @awfulannouncing
trentschlom My mom is even bashing Millen. This is a @awfulannouncing hall of fame performance. Instant classic.
hayner78 @awfulannouncing Every time I'm typing a dumb Millen quote, he says something new. Impossible to keep up.
rsharrow @awfulannouncing if you do a "Matt Millen" search, it really is mesmerizing to see the overwhelming amount of comments
SamValley @awfulannouncing Matt Millen is to broadcasting as he was as a pro football GM.
tonoxtono @awfulannouncing an empty Tostitos bag would be a upgrade over Matt Millen
boilerbill96 @awfulannouncing as a Colts fan, I am now worried that Millen thinks Luck is good
DeanMWilliams @awfulannouncing If Millen suggests drafting Blackmon, should Blackmon just announce his retirement?
spokanecmo @awfulannouncing Matt Millen just dropped 'humdinger' 1965 wants its catch phrase back.
TweetaSkalina @awfulannouncing the only thing more boring to Matt Millen than Andrew Luck is drafting useful NFL players. More fun to play w/ 11 wideouts
RealJEllis @awfulannouncing Millen was so bad he had me yearning for a broadcast featuring the 2011 versions of John Madden and Pat Summerall
OStateBuckeye @awfulannouncing I now know to exercise caution around towels, because they "can take an eye out"
dthomas2003 @awfulannouncing When he said sometimes you lose one for the gipper my first thought is thanks for that stupid advice which makes no sense
rich_roberts @awfulannouncing I learned last night that Justin Blackmon is a big time player. And big time players make big time plays #MattMillen
edsbs I can't hear the announcers in this bar, so if Matt Millen says something important, fill your bathtubs because the Great War has begun.
kslshep I thought Matt Millen's best analysis tonight was when he told Sean McDonough to answer his phone.
PapaBradstein In honor of Matt Millen, I'm going to spend the day tomorrow announcing what's already obvious to everyone around me. #fiestabowl

*** Android Police WTF App Of The Week - "Flatulence Is Magic."***PRO VERSION:
- No ads
- Unlimited feeding Mr. Jingles never gets full. You can always feed him food.
- Choose your own background
- 4 new foods to feed Mr. Jingles
- New farts
- New hidden Easter Egg
- Seasonal background updates
This app is exactly what it sounds like, a unicorn that farts and hands out special little surprises just for you. We've brought you the opportunity of a lifetime, the chance to download your very own farting unicorn!
Unicorn Fart Surprise allows you to feed your very own unicorn. On the downside though, he has a terrible gas problem. A farting unicorn? What's the surprise you say? Does he fart gumdrops and sparkly stars? Well you'll have to download the app to find out.
Be sure to try and unlock all of the Magical Prizes and Majestic Farts by returning to feed your unicorn.
Feed your unicorn by selecting one of the food items at the bottom of the screen. There is a very good chance that the food you feed him won't agree with his belly and he may let one go. Also, he will become full after he is fed too much and he just might let a big one rip.

With the rise digital recording software and the advent of the "one man computer music studio" there has been an astronomical rise in the number of people with software instruments, but many of these musicians have no idea how to use the modular synthesizers included with their music software programs. "Becoming a Synthesizer Wizard: From Presets to Power User" is the first book that explains what a modular synthesizer is, how it works, and how to use software synthesizers to make music. The book takes a highly practical approach to the subject providing a readable guide which opens up the subject to a broad spectrum of readers. It begins by explaining what the basic building blocks of modular synthesis are, and how they interact. Then it continues to specific exercises utilizing software synthesizers that will be readily available to the reader, regardless of platform or digital audio workstation of choice.

Light in light of eternity
We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed…persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed… 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NKJV)
Paul was no Armchair Apostle. He didn't sit around in some academic tower penning epistles and dispensing doctrine. Here's how his resume reads:
Five different times the Jews gave me thirty-nine lashes.Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent a whole night and a day adrift at sea…I have lived with weariness and pain and sleepless nights. Often I have been hungry and thirsty and have gone without food. Often I have shivered with cold, without enough clothing to keep me warm. (2 Corinthians 11:24-27 NLT)
He knew the pain of persecution better than just about anyone else. And when he talks about being hard pressed, crushed, persecuted, and struck down, he's speaking from a wealth of personal experience. So it's more than fair to say Paul was an authority on affliction. Now notice how he relates his suffering to the truth of eternity:
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory… (2 Corinthians 4:17 NKJV)
Paul's afflictions were anything but "light" by our standards. But when compared to the reality of eternity and the glorious destiny that awaits, he says it's practically nothing. That would be an audacious statement coming from anyone else. But because it comes from an authority on affliction, it's as true as truth itself.
Here's what's so wonderful about all this: The same principle that applied in Paul's case applies to ours. Even though our afflictions seem light compared to Paul's, they seem heavy to us. But when compared to the reality of eternity, to the unending state of blessedness that awaits God's people there, it's practically nothing.
Our affliction is always light in light of eternity!
"The created world is but a small parenthesis in eternity." Sir Thomas Browne

Watch Good Morning America
GMA serves as a one-stop shop for all the day's news, weather, sports and other updates. They also provide breaking news throughout the morning with both in-studio and field reporting that typically features an anchor near an important event, court case or other current event. They also feature frequent profiles of celebrities and everyday people doing extraordinary things while also giving exposure to some of the hot topics of the day.
Their weather forecast consists of a national spotlight by a meteorologist followed by local coverage by an affiliate ABC station. This takes place at least once an hour and sometimes more frequently depending on the time of year and other factors including snow and rain.
Over the years, the show has seen a large number of regulars and fill-in anchors gain exposure on the daily program. Currently, the weekday edition is anchored by the team of Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, Josh Elliott, Sam Champion, and Lara Spencer. Together, they bring a unique brand of news covering all areas of the country with their own personal flare.
Good Morning America has consistently been near the top of the morning ratings for its category and has won three Daytime Emmy Awards (2007-2009).

Good Morning America News
For some, "reality TV" is absolutely far too real. It wasn't until 2008, a full 12 years after six-year-old child beauty pageant princess JonBenet Ramsey's still-unsolved murder, that Patrick Ramsey and his now-deceased wife Patsy were formally discounted as suspects with an official apology from Boulder, Colo. District Attorney's Office. That makes it maybe the more compelling that Patrick claimed during a Tuesday "Good Morning America" interview that he finds TLC's fascinating-10-car-pile-up "Toddlers & Tiaras" to be "bizarre."
On "Good Morning America" this morning, Ex-Mr. Jennifer Lopez Marc Anthony broke his silence concerning the rumors that he had betrayed Lopez during their marriage. Anthony claims that the split with J.Lo was no one person's fault, that he was never unfaithful, and that he still loves her. Watch the video here.
Lady Gaga will jumpstart the "Good Morning America" summer concert series on May 27. As TV Guide notes, Gaga is a friend of the ABC morning show, having gone on air with Robin Roberts while wearing a "condom-inspired" style to promote safe sex in February. In other Gaga news, MTV reports that singer hinted that "someone legendary" is working on the last song, a piano ballad title "You and I" for her album "Born This Way.

Sierra Leone
Voting and growing
One of Africa's poorest countries takes a step forward
SHORTLY before nightfall each evening a flock of bats leaves a huge cotton tree in the heart of Sierra Leone's steamy capital. Just after they took flight on November 23rd Christiana Thorpe, a snappily dressed former nun who heads Sierra Leone's electoral commission, announced the results of the presidential poll. Ernest Bai Koroma, the incumbent, won 58.7% of the vote, clearing the 55 % margin required for an outright victory in the first round. Ten years after an 11-year war left some 50,000 people dead, Sierra Leone has found a way to argue peacefully.
A plethora of outsiders, including a 100-strong team from the European Union, observed the voting. With the exception of a few minor scuffles, widespread fears of violence failed to materialise. The main Sierra Leone People's Party opposition has yet to concede defeat, but its claims of electoral fraud have gained little traction.
Mr Koroma's victory means his All People's Congress (APC) will supervise the windfall from a mining boom. Last year Sierra Leone exported iron ore for the first time since before the war. The country has diamonds, bauxite and gold, too. The IMF reckons the economy will grow by 20% this year. There is still a lot of catching up to do: in 2011 income per person was $340.
An influx of cash will test Sierra Leone's political culture. Foreign diplomats give the impression that the election was wholly run by Sierra Leoneans. In fact it was underpinned by foreign funds and technical assistance. Mr Koroma provided a hydroelectric dam, new roads and free health care for pregnant mothers and young children in his first term. He deserved to beat Julius Maada Bio, a former junta leader. However, the APC is still the same party that in 1978 converted Sierra Leone into a one party state. The election campaign suggested that its autocratic streak has not been entirely banished.
At a pre-election press conference your correspondent pressed the president on his retention of Samuel Sam-Sumana, who has faced accusations of corruption, as his running mate and on the expulsion earlier this year of an outspoken UN envoy. Howls of protest filled the state house. "You better watch yourself in this town," hissed one presidential niece, a resident of Notting Hill in London who spent the campaign following her uncle around with a video camera. Still, in Sierra Leone a veiled threat is progress of a kind.

text: New York, July 14, 2005—The Committee to Protect Journalists today called for a thorough and aggressive investigation into the death of Pavel Makeev, 21, a cameraman for Puls television in the southern Russian town of Azov. Makeev's body was found alongside a road on the outskirts of the Rostov Region town on May 21, shortly after he arrived to film illegal drag-race competitions. Authorities have classified the death as a traffic accident, but colleagues believe he was killed purposely to thwart his report, according to local press reports and CPJ interviews.

life choice/parenting
God does not force Himself on us. Even when the consequences are extremely high, He gives us the choice to obey or disobey. How heartbreaking it must be when His children choose death over life.
We can relate as we watch our kids make self-destructive choices for momentary pleasure. Every Christian parent yearns for his or her children to "choose life". Our example and the way we parent has an enormous influence on our kids, but it will never give us total control. Despite all our best efforts, eventually we must accept the fact that we cannot grant our kids an intimate relationship with the Lord. That is something they must choose for themselves.
Good parenting cannot guarantee a good result. For that, we must trust the Lord.

DNA barcoding: how it complements taxonomy, molecular phylogenetics and population genetics
Trends in Genetics, Volume 23, Issue 4, 1 April 2007, Pages 167-172
Mehrdad Hajibabaei, Gregory A.C. Singer, Paul D.N. Hebert and Donal A. Hickey
AbstractDNA barcoding aims to provide an efficient method for species-level identifications and, as such, will contribute powerfully to taxonomic and biodiversity research. As the number of DNA barcode sequences accumulates, however, these data will also provide a unique 'horizontal' genomics perspective with broad implications. For example, here we compare the goals and methods of DNA barcoding with those of molecular phylogenetics and population genetics, and suggest that DNA barcoding can complement current research in these areas by providing background information that will be helpful in the selection of taxa for further analyses.

DNA barcoding for ecologists
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume 24, Issue 2, 1 February 2009, Pages 110-117
Alice Valentini, François Pompanon and Pierre Taberlet
AbstractDNA barcoding – taxon identification using a standardized DNA region – has received much attention recently, and is being further developed through an international initiative. We anticipate that DNA barcoding techniques will be increasingly used by ecologists. They will be able to not only identify a single species from a specimen or an organism's remains but also determine the species composition of environmental samples. Short DNA fragments persist in the environment and might allow an assessment of local biodiversity from soil or water. Even DNA-based diet composition can be estimated using fecal samples. Here we review the new avenues offered to ecologists by DNA barcoding, particularly in the context of new sequencing technologies.

Are plant DNA barcodes a search for the Holy Grail?
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume 21, Issue 1, 1 January 2006, Pages 1-2
Daniel Rubinoff, Stephen Cameron and Kipling Will
AbstractIn a recent study, Kress et al. compared two plant genomes to seek out plant DNA barcodes. Two promising markers balanced the variability that is needed to distinguish species with conserved primer regions that enable universal amplification. Although this study is the most rigorous effort to date, problems from earlier barcoding efforts, such as the use of non-evolutionary species concepts and differential sorting of genes and species, could reemerge. Single-gene barcoding might not be universally effective owing to inherent inaccuracies. Kress et al. suggest the use of multiple genes, reflecting an integrated approach that is likely to be the best answer to identifying species quickly and accurately.

EU seeks overhaul of global IT trade pact
The European Commission has proposed a revision of the Information Technology Agreement, a trade pact that for the past decade has helped keep down prices for IT-related goods across the world.
The ITA came into being in 1996 at a World Trade Organization meeting in Singapore. The pact involved the elimination of international trade tariffs on certain products, ranging from flat-panel displays to inkjet printers. The ITA currently has 43 signatories, representing 70 members and states or customs territories.
In August this year, the United States, Japan, and Taiwan complained to the WTO that Europe was placing tariffs on three … Read more

Tisk, tisk. Scumbags always look like scumbags.

If Obama had a son, he'd look like R'Mani.

Please, Woody, don't have a son -- it's likely he'd look like an abject idiot.

Love your comment, Woody---right you are!! Cardinal is the resident libTARD idiot on these boards. Watch for the THIEVES to play the poverty card then the well-worn RACE card! Maybe we can get Al Sharpton to come protest and cause more mayhem and murder as he has in the past! Remember Twana Brawley----Crown Heights?

Maybe we could offer these poor punks some of the upcoming Danville low low low housing our city council supported!? It would bring in more---omg---I'm so excited to say the magic word---diversity!

So Dave, bigotry really is a Conservative value? Thanks for the tip.

No one really knows just how many species there are on Earth. Estimates range from 2 million to 100 million, but most experts opt for a best estimate of about 10 million. Of these, only 1.4 million have been named and only a small percentage of these have been studied in any detail.10'Livestock account for about 20 percent of the total terrestrial animal biomass, and the land area they now occupy was once habitat for wildlife.'13The World Conservation Union (IUCN) Red List of threatened species shows that 18 per cent of all of the vertebrates they assessed in 2002 were threatened with extinction. This included 24 per cent of mammals and 30 per cent of fish. 49 per cent of plants assessed in 2002 were threatened with extinction.11 It has been estimated that the current rate of species loss is between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than it would be naturally.12Statistics such as these have led many environmental scientists to believe that we are in the process of a mass extinction. This loss of genetic diversity will have serious consequences for food production and environmental sustainability.
Habitat destruction is the single greatest factor in species being lost for ever. Deforestation, land degradation and intensive arable farming all represent thedestruction of ecosystems, resulting in massive loss of biodiversity.
A report commissioned by the FAO, USAID, and the World Bank concluded that industrial livestock production contributes to species loss through "its demand for concentrate feed, which changes land use and intensifies cropping. The production of feed grains, in particular, adds additional stress on biodiversity through habitat loss and it damages in ecosystem functioning."14Tropical rainforests, although covering only 10 per cent of the world's surface, are thought to contain about 90 per cent of all species – many of which have never been studied.15 The wholesale destruction of forest environments to provide grazing land for cattle and to grow feed for livestock contributes direct to loss of biodiversity. Other factors affecting species depletion include pollution, climate change and invasion by introduced species. All these factors relate direct to livestock production.They said it..."Livestock play an important role in the current biodiversity crisis, as they contribute directly or indirectly to all these drivers of biodiversity loss at the local and global level."16 (United Nations FAO Report 2006)Switching to a vegan diet will help to maintain biodiversity.
