Due to the controversy surrounding Lamont Peterson, and the fact that his comeback fight with Kendell Holt is pretty big by ESPN standards, we will be having this preview thread for the fight pinned. Discuss all things related to Peterson, how he will fare in this fight, and any aspects of the controversy in this thread. On Friday Night, we will change the topic title to our customary Round By Round Spoiler thread so users can follow along and reflect on the future of Lamont's career.
Please note we normally do Showbox and ESPN fights in Weekend Wrap up threads, with only the PPV, HBO, or Showtime fights pinned. However, because this is a world title fight (IBF World Jr. Welterweight Championship) with such an electric atmosphere in Peterson's hometown with a very strong challenger in Holt, we will be treating this fight as if it were a PPV, HBO, or Showtime match. This is one of the biggest little fights to hit ESPN FNF in a long time so we are going to treat it as a big deal.
Same rules apply, no new spoiler threads or public streams. Post everything in this thread. Oh, if you are DVR'ing this card, add 30 to 60 minutes because there is a basketball game previous to the fight and doing so should avoid game overtime problems.

Hahaha I'm just glad I'm not the only one that saw that
As far as Peterson goes, I just read on the ring's website that Schaefer said he wants to make a Matthyse-Peterson fight and pair it with Alexander-Brook on May 18th in Washington, D.C.
Trust me, you weren't the only one. Lol
Glad Peterson came back in an impressive fashion against a guy who could've sent him to the moon with one of those right hands at any moment of the fight. Im not sure where Holt goes from here. He always starts strong, then he gets touched up, his right eye starts swelling, and he's stuck cheesing/wincing with that chipmunk look on his face while trying to survive.
It's way too soon for a Peterson/Matthysse fight, honestly. If we look at it, regardless of the PED stuff, Peterson will always have a higher chance of landing those big fights, as opposed to Matthysse.
I like Matthysse, but he's just gonna be one of those tough dudes who can hardly land meaningful fights. He doesn't look as beatable as Maidana once did, when GBP was feeding him to guys. I can see Peterson either facing Soto or Ajose (interesting), then GBP will shoot for that Khan rematch.
I just don't see Peterson being pushed into the Garcia/Judah winner, though he feels he is ready. If GBP wants to make good on their investment, then they'll put him in semi-tough bouts to keep him champion, and make the Khan rematch. Matthysse aint no closer to a title shot, and they wont put Garcia in there with him any time soon. Honestly, a Garcia/Peterson would b a bit safer for both guys, than running into Matthysse at this point. Lol

CFI Submits Testimony on DC Marriage Officiant Act
October 15, 2010
Yesterday, CFI DC Executive Director Melody Hensley presented testimony on behalf of the Center for Inquiry in favor of the Marriage Officiant Act of 2010, a city council act that would allow secular wedding officiants to perform marriages in Washington, DC as public notaries. Friend of the Center and CFI DC/Office of Public Policy volunteer Steve Lowe also presented testimony in his personal capacity as a resident of the District.
CFI has long supported providing secular marriage officiants to those who elect to use their services. CFI's Secular Celebrants program supplies nonreligious celebrants to conduct wedding ceremonies and other "life milestone" ceremonies. Unfortunately, in many jurisdictions CFI's secular celebrants are unfairly barred by law from officially performing marriages because they are not affiliated with a religious institution. The Marriage Officiant Act of 2010 would change this state of affairs within Washington, DC by allowing secular celebrants to perform marriages as notaries.
A copy of Ms. Hensley's testimony appears below.
Although CFI readily supplies secular celebrants to conduct wedding ceremonies for non-religious couples, in many jurisdictions CFI's secular celebrants are barred by law from officially performing marriages. CFI's secular celebrants are not religious clergy. Nor are they court officials. As such, the current law prevents them from officially performing marriages within the District of Columbia. Short of becoming judges or justices, CFI's secular celebrants have no means of becoming certified to officially perform marriages within the District.
The Marriage Officiant Act would change this unfortunate state of affairs. By allowing secular celebrants to perform marriages as public notaries, the Act would help the Center for Inquiry's and other secular celebrant programs to better serve the needs of the non-religious community.
CFI maintains that both religious individuals and members of the non-religious community should be able to mark life's milestones in ways that are most personally meaningful to them. By allowing secular notaries public to perform marriages within the District, the Act will help ensure that all couples, both religious and secular, can be married by an officiant of their choosing.
The Center for Inquiry thanks the Council for considering this legislation, and urges the Council to pass the Marriage Officiant Act of 2010.
Thank you.

Chef John has created an amazing menu for our dinner, weaving Dry Creek Peaches throughout the entire savory and sweet four-course menu.
We'll enjoy our sumptuous peach dinner with wonderful J.Rickards wines.

Two groups of people who set out to cool off Thursday afternoon ended up in hot water.
Police arrested 12 people — all from Danvers or Reading — and towed eight cars from the Klondike and Haskell reservoirs about 1 p.m.
Officers charged each person in the two separate incidents with trespassing and violating the bylaw that bans swimming in the water supply, with Police Chief Leonard Campanello saying it was time to crack down.
"We've had a lot of citizen complaints and we've had some major concerns from the environmental engineering department on the dangers of people swimming in public drinking supply water," Campanello said. "It's culminated in the fact that we found it very necessary to step the enforcement up in this particular area because our requests to comply over the past several months have gone unheeded."
Campanello said police have tagged vehicles at Gloucester's reservoirs and quarries with parking tickets, towed vehicles, and warned people about the potential penalties involved in swimming in a public water supply.
Swimming in the reservoirs and quarries violates both state law and a city ordinance, according to Larry Durkin, environmental engineer for Gloucester's Department of Public Works.
"You can't control wild animals and what they're going to do," Durkin said. But when you add humans to the reservoir mix, he explained, "you're more likely to get e. coli bacteria into a surface water supply."
Durkin thanked the police force for backing efforts to keep the Klondike Quarries, the Haskell Reservoir and the Babson Reservoir clean.
"I'm just very happy that the police have been very cooperative in helping us," Durkin said. "We're trying to get the message out that we're trying to protect peoples' drinking water."
The city tests the reservoir for bacteria weekly, and the water has tested clean since the infamous boil-water order issued by the state Department of Environmental Protection in August 2009. But people swimming increases the chances at finding issues, Durking said, adding that the thought is simply unappetizing.
"The question is, do you want anyone swimming in your drinking water?" he said. "And I don't want anyone swimming in my drinking water."
The Danvers residents arrested include Gregory Tremblay, 21; Nicholas Velonis, 21; and Andrew Vitolo, 21.
The Reading residents arrested include Connor McCarthy, 19; Kelsey McCarthy, 19; Kyle McCarthy, 19; Christopher Shea, 17; Luke Killian, 18; Ian Powers, 19; Kelleigh Matrullo, 19; Matthew Ambrose, 18; and Hansel Rodriguez, 20.

CHICAGO, IL. -- Governor Pat Quinn is asking President Obama to help eleven Illinois counties affected by April floods.
Counties included in the request are Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Fulton, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle, McHenry and Will.
Gov. Quinn wants the President to declare the counties as major disaster areas so the residents and business owners can become eligible for grants and low-interest loans to repair damage.
Senators Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk are also sending a letter to President Obama asking for federal help.
The requests come as assessment teams with personnel from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and local officials tour the state surveying damage left by last month's floods.
Quinn says he'll continue to request federal aid as reports come in, including a request seeking federal assistance for local governments to recoup 75-percent of their eligible flood related costs.
Governor Quinn declared a total of 49 counties state disaster areas after torrential rains caused widespread flash and river flooding. His declaration made available a wide variety of state resources to help affected communities respond and recover from flooding. Those counties include: Adams, Brown, Bureau, Calhoun, Carroll, Cass, Champaign, Clark, Cook, Crawford, DeKalb, Douglas, DuPage, Fulton, Greene, Grundy, Hancock, Henderson, Henry, Jersey, Jo Daviess, Kane, Kendall, Knox, Lake, LaSalle, Lawrence, Livingston, Marshall, Mason, McDonough, McHenry, Mercer, Monroe, Morgan, Ogle, Peoria, Pike, Putnam, Rock Island, Schuyler, Scott, Stark, Tazewell, Warren, Whiteside, Will, Winnebago and Woodford.

Scottish Secretary welcomes help for rural motorists
The Berwickshire MP and Scottish Secretary Michael Moore has said motorists across the Borders will welcome the decision by the Chancellor to abandon a planned 3p rise in fuel duty, due in January:
– Michael Moore, Berwickshire MP and Scottish Secretary
"I think that it's particularly important that the Chancellor has abandoned the proposed fuel duty increase. That will help motorsits across the south of Scotland and the north of England, and in rural areas.
"As well as that, we've got a cut to people's taxes- taking low and middle income tax payers out of tax all together and reducing the burden on others.
"For people across the south of Scotland and the north of England that's very important."

It's a bit of a down weekend for Major League Soccer, with two of the league's big three skipping weekend action. For Columbus, that description comes with an asterisk, as the Crew beat Philadelphia 2-1 on Thursday night, but for Los Angeles it's a welcome reprieve, carrying the hope a weekend friendly at the Rose Bowl against Real Madrid can serve as a diversion. Amongst the league's elite, only Real Salt Lake plays in league. A win would pull them within three points of conference-leading L.A.
Schedule, August 7-8
all times Eastern
4:00 pm, Chivas USA at Toronto
7:30 pm, DC United at New England
8:30 pm, Real Salt Lake at Kansas City
9:00 pm, San Jose at Colorado

9:00 pm, New York at Chicago2

Not every weekend can be an eight-match smorgasbord. A few times each season we have to find our own fun, which isn't that difficult. For example, Sunday's match at Toyota Park could feature five designated players. Qwest will host a rematch of last year's Western Conference semifinals, while for the second week in a row, a playoff contender tries to get three in Commerce City.
But as we approach the last third of the season, these matches are going to be as much about how a team plays as who they play. All points are created equal, but until August starts winding down, the stakes are going to be manageable. Later in the season, when you're battling for seeds and playoff spots, the bottom line is all that matters. Before those crucial matches of September and October are here, teams need to figure out their capabilities.
Best Match: New York (SBN Rating: 62) at Chicago (52)
This is actually the second highest-rated match, but being the first Major League Soccer match to feature five designated players, Sunday's game at Toyota Park gets my special consideration. While it's not a given that we'll see the likes of Nery Castillo (yet to play for the Fire) or Rafa Márquez (just signed by New York), former teammates Thierry Henry and Freddie Ljungberg should share the pitch, joined by former EPL opposition Juan Pablo Ángel. Not most talent ever on a Major League Soccer pitch, but probably the most expensive.
Because Chicago's DPs have failed to inspire, there's been very little discussion of Sunday's match being an example of the new era of Major League Soccer. Fans seem much more fascinated with the potential of New York, with some seeing the signing of Márquez as the birth of the first MLS super club. Though New York is the first team to three designated players, Seattle and Los Angeles could soon follow, creating the league's first arms race. Five weapons in that build-up will be in Brdigeview on Sunday.
While signing designated players is currently a bit of a free-for-all, as the MLS arms race develops, maximizing the value of your designated player slots will become a more important factor in distinguishing teams. The ability to cultivate players like Marco Pappa and Wilman Conde can quickly be neutralized if you make poor decisions on designated players.
Most Competitive Match: San Jose (52) at Colorado (48)
For the second week in a row, the Earthquakes are in the most competitive match. Last week they were undone by July's Player of the Month, Fredy Montero. This week, Frank Yallop has to worry about stopping Omar Cummings without Ike Opara, out indefinitely with a broken foot. The rookie defender's absence also takes away San Jose's main threat on set-pieces with Opara's three goals ties him for second on the team behind Chris Wondolowski's six. Cummings, when on his game, can be as influential as Montero. Without Opara, will San Jose be able to curb that influence?
Colorado may also be missing a source of goals, a head laceration keeping Conor Casey questionable. Without him last week against Dallas, Gary Smith's team was unable to generate opportunities for Cummings. With the Jamaican international operating as a lone striker, Colorado's only goal came off a gift handball from Atibi Harris. While Opara's absence will help, Colorado's 19 goals scored this season (fourth-worst in the league) hint the problems go beyond one game player match-ups.
That low goal total, coupled with above average defending, leads to more draws than you would expected from a team with a +2 goal difference, part of the reason why Colorado is coming off their second consecutive one win month. The Rapids' six draws is the second-highest total in the league.
Least Competitive Matches: Real Salt Lake (100) at Kansas City (14); Philadelphia (0) at FC Dallas (76)
Remember the beginning of the season? When RSL seemed to be playing contender after contender, a series of tough matches leading to a (ill-) perceived slow start? The champs are in the middle of an evening-out period: Chivas USA (1-1), DC United (3-0), this weekend's match at Kansas City, then Philadelphia. Of course, given what happened to the Crew and Galaxy last weekend, caveat Kreis.
Real Salt Lake's handling of United last weekend hints the champs may not be a susceptible as Columbus and Los Angeles; however, Kansas City took a point from the Galaxy at home in April. While that match was played in a rainstorm, the Wizards still showed themselves capable, if only occasionally.
FC Dallas returns home for the first time in league play since knocking-off RSL 2-0 on July 17. Since, they've drawn at Toronto and Colorado, and while they have the fewest losses in the league, Dallas is only fourth overall. Nine draws have most overlooking Dallas's quality, but with Philadelphia travelling to Frisco on short rest, the Toros are set-up to make an impression.
Worst Match: D.C. United (0) at New England (14)
Through to the finals of SuperLiga, it may be too late for New England in league. Althgouh the eight point distance between the Revolution and eighth place can be traversed in their 14 remaining matches, New England will have to outplay six other teams to get the final playoff spot. To this point, they've outplayed only one: their Saturday opponent.
For United, it will be the first match since firing Curt Onalfo, with assistant coach Ben Olsen taking the reigns in the interim. An unspectacular hiring after Tom Soehn moved-on, Onalfo was given eight months to turn-around United. Many have said that's not enough time, but with spirits around D.C. United at an all-time low, management may have asked themselves how long the situation would have to persist before they made a change. While many of the problems surrounding the team have nothing to do with the coach, the coach is the easiest change to make.
Optimism can be precious when you're at the bottom of the league, and if casting a popular former player as coach generates some positivity, at least you have something to build-on. While that's a very silver lining-way of looking at the move, silver linings may be all United has. For now.
Much Better Last Year Match: Houston (14) at Seattle (62) - Sounders have gone a month without a loss, pushing themselves into playoff position and Champions League group phrase. Houston's coming-off a Thursday, SuperLiga loss to Morelia, but in league play, the Dynamo can their hard-fought point last weekend against New York, where a late goal gave 10-man Houston a result.
"So, Uh, Are You Guys Serious" Match: Chivas USA (14) at Toronto FC (48) - Preki welcomes his former team to BMO, with Toronto coming off their midweek result in Honduras, helping TFC advance in Champions League. Chivas USA will be looking to build upon last week's surprise result against Columbus, keeping visions of the postseason dancing in their head. Toronto's been strong at home all season, and with ex-Goat Maicon Santos recently added, we still don't have a grasp on Toronto's new potential.
Best, most, and least competitive matches are determined by the SBNhanced Power Rankings. Best match features the highest combined rating. Most competitive features the two most closely-rated, while least features the greatest disparity. This methodology is nowhere close to original and really shouldn't be associated with a term like "methodology."

214th DTES Street Market in Vancouver
214th DTES Street Market and 29th Street Market of 2014
Roland Clarke, Coordinator of the DTES Street Market says:
In the heat of the day, we sold a large amount of pop, freezies and popsicles, making this an all time record for Street Market revenue!!!
Operations Upgrade Report
The Greenway Mural project progressed a little bit with the addition of a few more tarps. We now have 5 tarps hanging along the edge of Carrall St. in order to keep the shoppers inside the market and make for a clearer greenway.
We signed up another 30 vendors throughout the day. We now have over 80 vendor tags created and about half that many have been distributed to the vendors. They wear them proudly. We hope that this will enable us to keep track of who is not a resident of the DTES, and who should not be selling at our market.
We wanted to have a test run of independent security, but the guy that we hired for the day was stuck in Mission with a broken down car.
We found a local person, Ken, who has a BST certification that needs to be renewed. We used this as an opportunity to test out how a security guard would work and how they would interact with the RPICs.
Freezer cart was a great hit. This contributed to a record day in pop/popsicle sales.
This was a purpose built cart using our Great Beginnings money. Thank you, City of Vancouver!

There were a number of great things to talk about that were made possible at the market by the Great Beginnings grant from the City of Vancouver.
First, We made our first vendor ID tags. The system arrived on Friday, and that gave us a couple of hours to play with the system, set up the database, and create a vendor tag template. Here is an example of a vendor ID tag.
After 6-8 weeks or so, we should have a large enough penetration among our regular vendors to start demanding that vendors where tags, and to start kicking out vendors that do not have tags.
We had a vendor meeting, where we introduced a number of the upgrades to a little over 40 vendors – with widespread support. Tanya Fink from the planning department attended the meeting as well.
We introduced the concept of ID badges, the Greenway Mural, and the private security guards. Most vendors were quite supportive of the fact that we will have better security at the market.
After the vendor meeting, we accepted about 30 membership forms, and processed a little more than 20 badges to hand out on Sunday. All the vendors that got their badges were extremely happy and proud. The market is a big source of pride in the Downtown Eastside.
At the market, we started hanging tarps along the east side of Carrall St. in order to simulate the Greenway Mural, before the canvas hangings are ready. This Sunday, we hung 3 tarps. Next week, we will hang 5-6, and so on until the tarps are hanging the entire length of Carrall St.
We also began increasing the number of early morning clean up staff. This way we can have an impact on the early vendors. As the percentage of ID tags increases, we can also start to crack down on vendors that come too early in the morning.
DTES Street Market Vendor Meeting – Sat July 5 2014
212th DTES Street Market – Happy Canada Day Long Weekend!
212th DTES Street Market and 27th Street Market of 2014
Roland Clarke, Coordinator of the DTES Street Market says:
The Canada Day Market started off with great weather, sunny, slightly overcast…Not too hot for a summer's day, but great for keeping the atmosphere friendly and welcoming.Later in the day, around 3pm, the rain started. This killed our 50/50 raffle take for the day, but help us clean up the park and open up the street without incident.
Lego Chicken SuitThere was a man walking around the market wearing a Lego chicken suit. Why? What sort of a question is this? It is the DTES Street Market and anything can happen. Even a giant Lego chicken suit.The guy said that his project was called "Nomis Art Dome", and that there was a group of 81 artists that all made giant Lego chicken suits and plan to walk around Vancouver and make people smile.I love Vancouver!

Before you vote, check the Truth-O-Meter
Over the last several months, candidates have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to build themselves up and knock their opponents down. There have been attacks and counterattacks, scary TV ads, robo-calls and oversized campaign fliers clogging our mailboxes -- in other words, the fuel that sent our Truth-O-Meter into overdrive. Just in the weeks since the September primary, we issued two dozen rulings on claims made by candidates for federal and statewide offices. Not surprisingly, many were way off base. And -- perhaps surprisingly -- many were true. With the election just two days away, we decided to take a look back at some of our campaign rulings to help voters make up their minds. Here's a sampling from key races:

Residents in Sumner County will take to the polls on Tuesday to decide on the future of a referendum that would increase wheel tax costs. Sumner County resident and motorist Chris Kramer spent $75 for his new vehicle tags on Monday. If the wheel tax referendum passes on Election Day, the cost to renew tags will increase by $25."Seventy-five dollars sounds a lot better than a $100," Kramer said. When told the additional money raised would benefit Sumner County students, his tune changed slightly. "Well, that wouldn't be too bad," he said. Sumner County executive Anthony Holt told Nashville's News 2 if the increase is passed, it would raise approximately $3 million to three and a half million dollars for education. "It would totally be dedicated for schools," Holt said. Sumner Board of Education Chairman Ted Wise added, "I think it has a chance [of passing]. It will not solve the problem; however it will ease the pain. We would not have to cut as deeply as we would have had to cut."In August, Sumner County schools were closed while the Board of Education and the County Commission went head-to-head over funding. Finally after an ongoing battle, a budget agreement was reached. If passed the referendum would guarantee the funds would go to the school's budget and could not be used for any other purpose.

Your Paper Topic
Deconstruct your topic to uncover its complexities, to focus your research and to increase your search vocabulary. The more ways you have of describing and thinking about your topic, the more information you're likely to find. One method of deconstructing your topic is to is to fill out the Brain Dump Worksheet created for LD ARCH 170. Another term for deconstructing a research question is 'concept mapping'; see the Rhode Island School of Design Library's excellent slide show, Concept Mapping, for a visual tutorial.
- Write down your topic. Be brief!
- Example: impact of Golden Gate Park on development of surrounding neighborhoods
- Ask the journalists' 6 questions about your chosen topic: Who?, What?, Where?, When?, Why?, How? Do your best to answer these questions. Remember to include alternative spellings. For example: Olmsted or Olmstead; parc or park or parque; Nationsbank or Nations Bank or National Bank.
- Sample questions:
Who designed it? / Who built it? / Who paid for it? / Who were the intended users?
What kind of park is it? / What were the design constraints?
Where is it located? (city, state, neighborhood, country)
When was it built? (date completed, century)
Why was it designed?
How did the city approve the project?
- Pay attention to the questions you can't answer about your topic. Look for for the answers in the specialized reference sources in the following section. Add to your 'deconstruction notes' as you learn more about your topic.
- For additional ways to explore the concepts and social factors influencing your topic, see Finding Information on Buildings and Places.

'Use it or lose it' warning for Lower Darwen community centre
2:00pm Tuesday 20th November 2012 in Blackburn By Dan Clough, Reporter
A COMMUNITY centre could be forced to close if people don't help to keep it running, a councillor has warned.
Lower Darwen Community Centre, in Fore Street, is a self-funded facility used by a number of groups in the area.
But Fernhurst councillor Jacqueline Slater said there was a danger it would close if people don't use it.
She said: "I fear it will close because there is nobody prepared to volunteer. It is so sad.
"It has been going for 15 to 20 years and a lot of the volunteers are older now."
The main use of the centre is the youth club, which is run in conjunction with the police.
Coun Slater said: "The youth club started with 29 and now there are 70-odd kids using it. The police help to run it and they are absolutely brilliant. It makes Lower Darwen safer as the kids have an input into it so it makes them respect the area.
"It helps build community relations as well as they have initiatives like clean-ups."
Coun Slater said a number of other groups used the centre, such as Weight Watchers. She said: "There is a lot that goes on in the centre. I hold my ward surgeries there for one.
"There are also painting classes and fly-tying, where people learn to put flies on fishing hooks, and there is a coffee morning every Monday.
"There is a lovely computer centre but nobody uses it. The computers just sit there idle.
"A job club would be a good idea but there is nobody to run it. So there are lots of things going on but not enough people coming in. It really is a case of use it or lose it."
Anyone starting a group or looking for a facility to use can contact secretary Janet Simpson on 01254 602082.

The stuff of great notions
The influence of a good teacher can spark interest in a subject area, jump start a career, or even change a life.
In November, 2011, I received an email from John Meisel, LLD'96, Professor Emeritus in Political Studies, gently chiding me for never having told him that it was his graduate class at Queen's in 1960-61 that led me into what had become more than 40 years of research into human and organizational behaviour in crisis and disaster.
His email stated: "As a fellow prof you know how rewarding it is to hear that one has been of some use to a student. You should have told me earlier."
He was correct, of course. I wonder how many of us can trace the start of a career or a life-long interest to a specific class or professor and whether we have ever bothered to let the person who inspired us know that?
The reason John sent me the email was because I had seen him when he spoke about Flora MacDonald, LLD'81, when she was given the Agnes Benidickson award by the Ottawa Branch of the QUAA. I first met Flora in 1957 when she was at Conservative headquarters and she once came to Carleton and gave a class for me. I was delighted to be on hand when Queen's honoured her. When I saw John there, I wandered over to say hello. He said, "I always wondered what happened to you?" So I told him.
I left Queen's in 1960 having turned down a McLaughlin fellowship (the offer came directly from Dr. Corry) to work as a journalist serving the Toronto Star both in Washington and Ottawa and spending some time at CBC-TV News (The National). I also had a brief fling at politics. I was Judy LaMarsh's executive assistance when she was the Minister of National Health and Welfare and John Turner's PR man in the 1968 Liberal leadership convention.
However, in 1965 I joined the full-time faculty at Carleton and a year later became Director of the Carleton School of Journalism. That meant I finally had time to follow up some things that had intrigued me when I studied Political Science at Queen's. (My journalism career kept me from finishing my Master's thesis, and so I actually graduated from Queen's in 1964.)
In John Meisel's class we had learned about voting behaviour and I was particularly intrigued (given my background as a journalist) by a U.S. study which showed that people are not influenced directly by the mass media but by other people – opinion leaders – and it is these people who get their information from the media. I started to read more about opinion leaders or – as some other scholars called them – "influentials". I also became curious about how information is transmitted from one person to another, a process some scholars called the "flow of news". The U.S. study did not deal with that.
After reviewing the work of a number of scholars and getting to know many of them – I met one of the most important, Elihu Katz who co-authored (with Paul Lazarfeld) the 1955 book Personal Influence – after a symphony concert in Jerusalem, I became familiar with and met Bradley Greenberg at Michigan State. He had co-edited a book on the Kennedy assassination – it included a chapter on how news of it spread – and he had also stated in an article that it would be difficult to impossible to trace the flow of news from person to person. I felt he was wrong.
In the autumn of 1970, I convinced a fourth-year seminar of Journalism students that it would be fun – if the opportunity arose – to trace the flow of news about a dramatic event through a community. (The incident could be a local one or a one with broader impact but we would stick to one community.) They agreed they would drop everything and do that, but I would have to convince two of the 12 members of that class that the incident was dramatic enough to get people talking.
That class was held on a Monday night and by chance it was during the October crisis when a British trade commissioner, James Cross was kidnapped and then a Quebec cabinet minister, Pierre Laporte was kidnapped and murdered by radical members of the Front de libération du Québec. Three days after that class, James Cross was discovered alive, and the news of that discovery spread like wildfire.
My students and I and a colleague (Brian Taylor) set off that afternoon for Kingston partly because it was a fairly small city, partly because I felt at home in Kingston, and partly because the Whig-Standard offered us use of its newsroom. (It had cooperated with Carleton Journalism on previous occasions.) We created a very short questionnaire, selected a small sample and started phoning people and asking, "Did you hear the news about James Cross?" Well everyone had and more important everyone remembered how he or she had heard.
Women who had been at home for example often learned when their children called them to say something was wrong with the TV. Sesame Street had been replaced with a news bulletin. (If someone said they first learned from another person we located that person and kept going until we found the original source.)
We thought of the research as a news study – we assumed eventually all interpersonal news chains would link to radio or TV. Some persons at the Operations Research Establishment at the Defence Research Board saw it differently. They saw it as a way of tracing leaks. They funded us and we began to study the flow of news after all kinds of incidents and learned that our funding agency was correct. After the murder of a policeman we found eight eyewitnesses, one of them 10 interpersonal links from the person in the sample.
After a prison hostage taking we traced how the news leaked out of the prison. Our most dramatic study was in the mill town of Port Alice, B.C., which was largely evacuated because of a mud slide. There were no media in Port Alice so the entire warning system was by word of mouth. But it didn't stop there.
Many of the events which triggered news flows were what might be called disasters – snow emergencies, wind storms, floods, tornadoes, floods, an earthquake, and forest fires. I became more and more interested in them and in 1987-88 I decided to spend a year at the Disaster Research Center at the University of Delaware studying Sociology of Disaster with the two most eminent scholars in the field, Russell Dynes and Henry Quarantelli. After that I moved on from the study of news flows to the study of how people and organizations perform in untoward incidents.
One of my recent studies funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation was of the overseas response to the handling of the dead after the Indian Ocean tsunami. An even more recent study was of disease and death during the 1918 influenza pandemic and one of the communities we studied was Kingston which meant we needed and got help from the Queen's library and the Queen's archives. (One of my researchers on that study, Casey Hurrell, MA'11, is now a doctoral candidate in History at Queen's.)
One of my current projects is a study of folk songs about death and disaster. Some of my colleagues have argued that the media, movies and novels distort what happens in disasters, but that folk songs get it right. Meisel told me that it was this research that fascinated him the most because it showed, as my colleagues would have predicted, that folk songs do get it right – they portray ordinary people performing well in disasters. They don't become dazed and confused, they don't panic and they don't abandon others. Miners, for example, risked their lives to save colleagues trapped in a mine and the musicians on Titanic remained on board until the ship sank – all died – playing light music to help passengers remain calm. Strangely even that research has a Queen's connection.
My first-ever visit to Queen's was when I came with the U of T band for a Toronto-Queen's football game. Since I lived in the Campus Co-op at U of T, I visited the Queen's co-op where I heard the students singing, "Oh, it was sad when the good ship went down," a song I remembered and studied when we researched 43 folk songs about Titanic in seven different languages.
All that – and it is a winding trail – may seem a long way from the study of voting behaviour at John Meisel's home in Kingston on a Saturday morning in 1960-61, but it was there that it all started.
"I can always tell a good teacher. All I have to do is speak to [that person] of some transforming
idea and then watch him [or her] light up just as an electric bulb does when the current is connected."
– REV. M.M. COADY, an educator who was one of the founders of the Antigonish Movement in Nova Scotia in the 1920s.
Joseph Scanlon is Professor Emeritus and Director of the Emergency Communications Research Unit (ECRU) at Carleton University. He has published roughly 200 book chapters, monographs, articles in peer-reviewed and professional journals and reports on various aspects of disasters. In 2002, he received the Charles Fritz Award from the International Research Committee on Disasters for a lifetime contribution to Sociology of Disaster.

Funding opportunities
Immune-Matched Neural Stem Cell Transplantation for Pediatric Neurodegenerative Disease
Funding Type:
Early Translational II
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$5 652 346
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
Children with lethal inherited degenerative diseases of the brain, the lysosomal storage diseases or LSDs, will be among the first to benefit from novel approaches based on stem cell therapy (SCT). This belief is based on a number of medical and experimental observations including: 1) These diseases cause profound mental retardation or lead to death in most affected children; 2) SCT has already been shown to work in the milder forms of LSD that do not affect the brain; 3) The clinical safety of neurotherapy by stem cell transplantation is already being established in the LSDs; 4) Many of the pertinent regulatory hurdles have already been overcome; and 5) Experimental work has clearly shown that SCT can be used to treat the brain in the severe forms of LSD. This combination of medical and experimental data strongly suggest that the LSDs are uniquely poised to benefit from novel SCT and that this therapy is likely to be successful, a prediction that can less reliably be made for SCT applied to other brain and spinal cord diseases and injuries. Additionally, results of clinical trials of novel stem cell neurotherapies for the LSDs will be directly pertinent to proposed stem cell neurotherapies for some other neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and stroke, as specific targets for these and other brain and spinal cord diseases and injuries are better identified. Our approach is designed to lead to a therapeutic development candidate, based on stem cells, by addressing two critical issues: that adequately repairing a damaged brain is likely to be extremely difficult or impossible and that, as in all cell, tissue, or organ transplantation, immune rejection of the transplanted material is almost guaranteed. We not only address these two important issues but also set the stage for efficient translation of our approach into clinical practice because almost all of it is based on techniques that are already in clinical practice or in clinical trials.
Statement of Benefit to California:
We are focusing on a class of childhood brain diseases that causes the child's brain to degenerate and results in severe mental retardation or death. These diseases also affect other organs of the body. Many of these organs can already be successfully treated with stem cell therapy. Our team proposes to take these lessons of success and apply them to treating the brain as well. Because of this established stem cell success, this new stem cell therapy, we propose, has a high probability of success. This will not only provide a potential cure for the children that are treated with this new stem cell therapy, but will also benefit California by 1) reducing the State's burden for caring for these children and 2) providing a successful model of stem cell therapy of the brain that will both bolster public confidence in CIRM's mission to move stem cell therapies into the clinic, and lay the groundwork for using this type of therapy with other brain diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, and multiple sclerosis.
Review Summary:
This is a development candidate (DC) award application that focuses on the use of combined hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation for the treatment of lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs). LSDs are rare inherited enzyme deficiencies that have both peripheral and central neurologic manifestations. Transplanted cells are thought to provide a source of the missing enzyme and alleviate symptoms of the disease. Clinical use of HSCT to treat LSDs has provided beneficial effects only in those patients that do not have central nervous system (CNS) disease involvement. The applicant hypothesizes that co-transplantation of NSCs and HSCT will address both the CNS and peripheral manifestations of the disease. The applicants propose to use induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology to derive immune-matched NSCs from the same source as the HSCs and carry out systemic HSCT (Aim 1), CNS transplantation (Aim 2), and combined HSCT/NSC transplantation in a preclinical murine model of LSD. The objectives in this proposal are focused and technically achievable and the basic rationale is justified in LSD. Reviewers appreciated the innovative concept and relevance to stem cell research. Reviewers agreed that although targeting a rare disease, the proposal, if successful, could impact the standard of care for these patients as well as impact treatment of other central nervous system (CNS) disorders, although they noted that it may be difficult to prove additive or synergistic benefit over HSCT or enzyme replacement therapy. Despite their appreciation of the conceptual basis of this proposal, reviewers had several concerns regarding feasibility. In particular, they were concerned that the proposed studies would not result in a development candidate ready to enter preclinical IND-enabling studies at the end of the funding period. Key experiments addressing critical issues such as appropriate therapeutic dose; preliminary tumorgenicity; immune response to the secreted enzyme; and persistence, location and function of NSCs were neglected. Reviewers were particularly concerned that testing of a single dose to assess both safety and efficacy is very problematic and that the inclusion of enzyme replacement therapy confounds assessment of efficacy in the model. They noted that it is important to understand the dose response for each cellular component and the impact of enzyme replacement therapy on efficacy. A dose response is of further importance given that a margin of safety around the efficacious dose is required to address tumorgenicity. iPSC characterization should include at a minimum teratoma formation and repeated karyotyping. There was limited consideration of cell production issues. It is unclear from the proposal what reagents are available as GMP reagents for NSC enrichment or what level of enrichment will be required to prevent tumor formation. The reviewers also noted that translation of the approach will prove challenging. First, the applicant did not address practical concerns such as the need to obtain a single donor unit with sufficient numbers of cells to permit isolation of HSC and of cells for iPSC generation as well as the likely substantial delay in treatment of CNS disease due to the need to generate iPSC-derived NSCs and obtain sufficient numbers for therapeutic injection. Second, the applicant will perform the stem cell transplants simultaneously in immune-deficient LSD mice, and reviewers were concerned that the proposed preclinical model and treatment approach does not adequately model the clinical situation and provide a strong basis for large animal studies. Specifically, the immune-deficient mouse may not be able to generate an immune response to the produced enzyme; it is likely that a staged approach will be required in the clinic where patients do not receive both the HSCT and the CNS transplantation simultaneously; and treatment of mice that have not yet accumulated the enzyme substrate does not closely mimic the human situation where substrate accumulation is generally present by the time treatment is initiated. The reviewers noted that the therapeutic relevance of the proposed studies would be significantly increased had the applicant proposed to treat adult mice where substrate accumulation has already occurred. The Principal Investigator (PI) is experienced in the proposed area of science and will commit a substantial percent of his/her time to this proposal, although a biographical sketch for the PI was not included in the submission. The co-PI is excellent and this team has an outstanding track record in LSD and is clearly capable of accomplishing the research goals. Reviewers did note that there are a substantial number of positions requiring specialized skills that are listed as "to be hired" and were concerned that this might present a significant delay in initiating the research studies. Although reviewers thought this proposal to be very good conceptually and appreciated the quality of the team, they agreed that due to the absence of several key studies and an experimental design that does not adequately model the clinical situation, this proposal is unlikely to result in a development candidate that is ready to enter into IND-enabling preclinical research within the timeframe of the award.

First let me put things into perspective. I have job, I'm pretty level headed at the moment.
However, me and the wife had an in depth discussion last night. It wasn't ugly it was quite calm and collected. She is scared that I will flip out again due to my schizoaffective dis-order. Although at the moment I'm quite fine. Well the long and short of it is she pretty much wants me to leave. She is unable to support me if and when and thats IF, I flip out again.
She scared of this happening. I supposed I don't blame her. I'm scared of it happening as well. This is why I have not been fucking around with my meds anymore. I'm doing want my psychiatrist is saying. I have completely stopped smoking cannabis. I have the odd few beers at the weekend.
I have an up and coming holiday to the UK this Christmas going on my own. Maybe this will clear my head a bit. Seeing my family and everything.
My feeling is, although I don't like it here I would not want to stop my kids having a father. My previous wobble on this topic can be thrown in the dustbin. I'm thinking a little clearer now. Although I'm just sad about the whole situation.
Would it be to much trouble to ask peoples views please.

North America includes Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Gotham City.
The region temporarily existed as a Protectorate of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, with its capital being the city of San Francisco. Sadly, this term of benevolent ebullience lasted a brief two decades and ended c. 1880.
The United States is now the dominant country of North America. It arose as a nation only 225 years ago after a successful rebellion against the British government under King George III.
From a distance, it appears that the eastern coastlines of North and South America fit exactly into the west coast of Africa. In fact, about 250 million years ago these continents really were all connected in one land mass that we have named Pangaea.
With such a foundation in tectonic unity, there is no doubt that someday soon the people on every continent of earth will realize their fundamental similarities. Expect massive leaps in creative output in your area!

Personal Development Portfolio (PDP)
The Personal Development Portfolio (PDP) program helps you synthesize into an integrated whole your studies, service and activities as a student. As you explore, you discover who you are and, most importantly, grow into maturity as the person you want to be. You develop your own view of the world and determine not only how you will live in it, but how you can shape it.
PDP is a comprehensive approach to critical reflection and self-knowledge, a process in which all aspects of a liberal arts education come together.
A liberal arts education is more than the broad skills and knowledge acquired from studying such areas as literature, history, philosophy and the arts. On a deeper level, a liberal arts education refers to the development of critical thought, the ability (and desire) to question, to examine and to understand issues and ideas with increasing clarity and depth. This process is reflection, and it is a process at the very heart of a liberal arts education.
This is part of what we mean when we speak of educating the whole person - acquiring these transformative skills and applying them to our lives as a whole.
PDP 150: Critical Inquiry and the Liberal Arts
PDP 150: Critical Inquiry in the Liberal Arts is Bridgewater College's first-year seminar, typically taken during the fall semester of your freshman year.
Course topics for PDP 150 are extremely varied and diverse, from sustainability to music, from zombies in culture to pet ownership. Scott Jost covers "Narrative Community Mapping," while Brandon Marsh takes you "Into the Abyss: The World Crisis of the 1930s." Transfer students have unique course topics to choose from as well, such as social media or the U.S. economy, and Flory Fellows can choose honors sections covering the Bill of Rights or the Coal Wars of Appalachia.
Note: Transfer students take PDP 350, and honors students in the Flory Fellows program have separate sections of PDP 150.
PDP 450: The PDP Senior E-Portfolio
During the freshman year, the emphasis is on introducing the fundamental concepts of the liberal arts and the skills needed for serious reflective thinking. Beyond the first semester, students will keep a record of their academic life, involvement in campus activities and engagement in the community.
During the senior year, students attend a special convocation and workshop in preparation for the senior e-portfolio. The final senior e-portfolio includes a record of your academic achievements and community engagement experiences, a current resume and cover letter, and most importantly, a reflective essay which articulates in a meaningful way your growth and development over the entire college experience. Satisfactory completion of PDP 450 is a graduation requirement and the crowning achievement of your four-year experience.
For more information on the PDP program, contact:
Dr. Edward W. Huffstetler
Associate Dean for Academic Affairs

Jamie Waylett Answers Fans' Questions: Part IIc. The Leaky Cauldron, May 2004
Sarah said: Will you marry me? I promise I'm a nice, clean, domesticated American girl, I don't bite...hard...
Hi Sarah
My Mum said I should be careful with Girls like you…When can we meet?
Leslie said:
I read your interview with The Leaky Cauldron and I think that you're really a down-to-earth and nice person! =) I wish I could get to meet you, but I live far, far away in the Philippines. Pssst...may I ask another question? Do you like anime, and if you do, what's your favorite anime?
Hi Leslie,
I like lots of different kinds of anime. I like drawing and I am also interested in graffiti (on paper, not on walls).
Bianca said:
Hi Jamie,
I just want to know if you have been to a Harry Potter premier in an other countries. If yes, which countries did you like the most? and if you haven't which countries would you like to visit and why? bye bye
p.s: I am sorry for the bad English I usually speak French!(I am From Canada) ...
Hi Bianca,
So far I have attended two premiers in London (another one next week), one in Ireland and I'm very excited that I'm attending the New York premier in a few days time.
Candi said: Jamie, ummm...-if you were trapped on a desert island and could only bring one luxury item, what would it be?
Hi Candi,
It would be my Discman; I couldn't live without my music.
Karisa said: If you could go on a date with any celeb. Who would you pick? why?
Hi Karisa,
It would be Jodie Marsh…. why?....Have you seen Jodie Marsh??
Kiara said: Hi Jamie! I was just wondering what's your fave TV show?
Hi Kiara,
That an easy one, "The Simpsons."
Katie said: Hi Jamie, thanks so much for doing this! I read your November TLC interview which goes into your accident at age 9 and against-the-odds recovery. If you don't mind my asking, I was wondering if you've had any lasting effects from the accident, or if you've totally recovered? It was quite an amazing story, overcoming such adversity at such a young age and going on to be in HP!
Hi Katie
I'm fully recovered now, thanks for asking.
Sombrero squid said: If you were forced to wear one type of hat for the duration of your existence, what type of hat would you choose and why?
I would choose my "New erra" Cap because I think its "cool"…I wouldn't wear a Sombrero, as they seem to get stolen too often!!
Narcissa said: Hey Jamie, I was just wondering if you were HP fan before you were casted for the first movie. Regards from Brazil.
Hi Narcissa
The honest answer would have to be no.
Sarah said: Hi Jamie! I wanted to know, if you could have dinner with three people (alive or dead), who would you choose and why? Thanks!
Hi Sarah
2 Pac, 50 cent and Biggie Smalls, because I just love their music
Celletiger (who thinks you are adorable) said: Hi, thanks for indulging us fans!Where do you see yourself at 40 years old?
Hello Celletiger
If I'm really lucky, I will be playing one of the teachers at Hogwarts!
Ben said: I think that you did a good job portraying Crabbe. Can I ask you a question? No, make it two questions.
#1: What countries have you visited? Among those countries, which did you like best?
#2: What countries would you like to visit?
Hi Ben
I have been to Spain and the Islands a few times, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, but best of all I love going to the USA, I have been to Washington, Florida a few times and New York three times. I would like to go to China, I love Chinese Food!
emily_b said: Hi Jamie! How would you act if you were Draco?
Hi Emily
Id be meaner, but still try to be funny at the same time.
everbloom said: Do you know the name of your 'father', i.e., Crabbe senior?
It's not on Crabbe's birth certificate, perhaps it was artificial insemination?
Jessi Levine said: Hi Jamie! I was wondering, if you were in Honeydukes, what sweet would you get?
Hi Jessi
It would be an everlasting gobstopper…oops wrong film.
Celletiger said: Hi, thanks for indulging us fans! What is your favorite book (HP or other)?
GiantSquid said: Which is you favorite Harry potter book and why? thanx! Hope to see you in the next four movies!
It would have to be Chamber of Secrets, because it's the only one I have read to the end!! I read the scripts instead.
Derry said: Hi Jamie :) Slytherin or Gryffindor, who has the hottest girls??
Hi Derry,
If I answered that question, I would be in trouble with half the girls on the set!
They are all very nice girls...except for...no I can't...sorry.
Tara said: I don't have a question, I'd just like to say thanks for signing my get well card last November! It was so awesome that you guys did that for me at the wrap party for Prisoner, and I'm forever grateful for your kindness.Cheers!
Hi Tara,
I'm glad we could help, I hope you are fully recovered, good luck, Jamie.
Nyago said: Wassup, which type of acting do you enjoy/feel comfortable more? action (such as the snow scene) or dialogue (such as talking to Malfoy in the Slytherin common room)?
I hope this is a fun question to answer. =^^=
Hi Nyago,
I enjoy both, but action scenes can be real fun.
Olivia said: Hi Jamie, What is your favorite scene to film in the three films so far?
Hi Jamie!! Thanks so much for answering our questions!!! Here's mine: Any funny stories or favorite parts from filming POA? Thanks again...you rock!! :B
Luna said: Hey, Jamie! What was one of the funniest moments you remember from the set?
C said: What scene was the most fun to shoot? Were there any moments when the cast just couldn't keep it together....like excessive giggles? Any other memorable moments you could share? Thanks!
Hillary said: Was it hard/fun to put yourself in the shoes of Harry/Ron in The Chamber of Secrets?
Remus Lonno said: Were Dan and Rupert's voices dubbed over yours and Josh's for the Polyjuice Potion scenes in Chamber of Secrets? How did yours sound in comparison?
Sandra said: Hi, Jamie. I have a question relating to Chamber of Secrets. I thought both you and Joshua Herdman did an excellent job in this film, especially the polyjuice scenes, but I was disappointed they didn't allow you to use your own voices (as implied by the book). Did you ever film it with the intention of your voices being used, and they changed it to make it easier for the audience to remember which was Ron and which was Harry, or was it always filmed with that purpose? And whatever the answer, were you disappointed you didn't get that opportunity? Thanks for taking the time to 'talk' to us! :)
wemoonwitch said: Jamie, thanks for doing this, it's really a treat for me. Now, for my question, what was the funniest thing that happened during filming (on any of the films)?
When I filmed the polyjuice scene, it was with my own voice. Josh and I had
a Drama coach for weeks before the filming started and we were really very good.
We also practiced Harry and Ron's movement and facial expressions. After working
so hard to imitate Ron's voice, I was a little disappointed when I discovered
that my voice was replaced with Ron's.
One of the funniest moments for me was the "floating cake scene." Just before I changed into Ron, Josh and me had to eat the cakes, suspended on fishing wire with a hook in the end, after five or six takes, Josh bit the cake a little to much and had a small cut on his lip caused by the hook.
I was trying to whisper to Josh that his lip was bleeding, but
Chris kept shouting "ACTION." Josh looked puzzled, so
I pointed to his face and tried to tell him again. Chris shouted
"ACTION" again; this went on two or three times more before
Chris shouted "CUT - Jamie what's wrong?" Josh was
still looking puzzled and looked at Chris and shrugged his shoulders.
The whole set started laughing as I explained Josh had blood on his lip.
Another funny moment was when Josh and I were drugged in the broom cupboard, we had to come out and act unsteady on our feet.
Chris shouted "ACTION" (no response)..."ACTION" (no response)...""ACTION" (no response)...."ACTION" (no response)...finally he said "GO AND SEE WHATS WRONG."
Somebody opened the door to find me and Josh laughing. I said the door was stuck, but they had all realized, I had been pulling the door instead of pushing it!.....Again the crew fell about laughing!
Chris Columbus said "It (the film) was turning into The Crabbe and Goyle Show!"
Tails said: Are the Slytherins different in this film? Are they more evil, less evil?
Hi Tails,
I would say they would be about the same, but I don't know how the film has been edited till the 23rd of May.
Chelsea said: It's interesting watching you play Crabbe in
the Harry Potter movies. Your character isn't exactly the most talkative but
you are defined through your acting. If you wish to continue in acting, which
I hear you do, do you think you'll be stereotyped as a Baddie?
Hi Chelsea,
I enjoy playing a baddie, its fun, so if I get any other roles like this I won't complain.
