The New York City Police Department is searching for a Bronx mother of four who has been missing since Friday.
Tina Adovasio was last seen leaving her home on Edison Avenue in Schuylerville around 9 p.m., allegedly following an argument with her husband.
Sources say her husband, Edwin Coello, called 911 to report his wife was missing.
According to sources, Coello, a former NYPD housing officer, told police he had argued with his wife – and that she left and said she was staying out. They also say Coello is not officially a suspect and he is not currently being questioned.
Sources told NY1 a man was caught on a blurry surveillance tape dragging a large duffel bag from Adovasio's home the night she vanished.
"It's sad," said another neighbor. "I don't know any details of why she's missing or anything but I hope she's found safe. You don't want to see a child go without their parent."
Adovasio's children range in age from five to 16 years old.
Coello was suspended from the NYPD in 2000, amid allegations he had abused his first wife. He then resigned from the force.
Adovasio is 40 years old, 5-feet-5-inches tall and 135 pounds with a slim build. She was last seen wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, and boots.
Anyone with information about the case is being asked to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS, by texting TIP577 to CRIMES, or by going to NYPDCrimeStoppers.com.

On the Concept of Reparations for the Enslavement of Ancestors
On the Concept of Reparations for the Enslavement of Ancestors
by John Perna © 2000 Permission to republish once is granted
Henry Louis Gates, Jr., the chairman of Afro-American Studies at Harvard University, and other Black professionals, are now calling loudly for the payment of reparations to Blacks whose ancestors were slaves in America. These same Blacks, who claim that Whites owe them reparations, also claim that the ancient Egyptians were black.
There is a problem here. The ancient Egyptians were among the biggest chattel slave-masters in history. The record of the enslavement of the Jews, by the ancient Egyptians, can be found in every version of the Holy Bible. Other people (and other races) may have also been enslaved by the Egyptians. All the Blacks who believe in the concept of reparations for the enslavement of ancestors are free, at any time, to begin making payments to the descendants of all those; whom other Blacks in history enslaved. Obviously fairness dictates that they could start, at least, by making payments to the Jews. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, will this idea still sound good to the Blacks who are clamoring for reparations?
Slavery has been going on since man has existed. Slavery did not start in America. Everyone has ancestors who were slaves. There is plenty of slavery that is more recent than American slavery. Auschwitz makes the southern plantation look like a vacation resort.
Let's actually examine the Chairman Gates' concept of reparations for the enslavement of ancestors. His contention that all White people owe all Black people is based on the concept that those who are of the SAME RACE, as the former slave masters; automatically owe money to all of those, who are of the SAME RACE as the former slaves. No notice is taken of the fact that those who allegedly owe the money were never slave masters themselves, nor of the fact that those to whom the money is allegedly owed have never themselves been slaves.
There also seems to be a presumption that all of the slaves were black, and all of the slave-masters were white. Only a small percentage of whites, owned slaves (5% or less). In the official U.S. Census of 1830, there were 3775 free blacks who owned 12,740 black slaves. The first black slave owner was Anthony Johnson of Northampton, Virginia. His slave was John Casor.
A landmark case in 1665 involving the Black slave owner Anthony Johnson resulted in the courts' ruling that slaves were considered slaves for life. Thus, in 1665 all states adopted enslavement laws. It was the Black slave master, Anthony Johnson, who sued and won his case in a Virginia court that changed temporary servitude into lifetime servitude. Thus, this Black slave owner, in Virginia, established permanent slavery. If there were any validity to the theory that the descendants of slaves should be paid by the descendants of slave-masters; THEN descendants of Anthony Johnson would certainly owe the most.
What it comes down to is this: Chairman Gates, and his reparations cohorts, are saying that a person is allegedly due money, or that a person allegedly owes money, SOLELY on the basis of his or her race.
Now let's put the shoe on the other foot AGAIN. Suppose that you are a Black man sleeping peacefully in your own home. Suddenly there is a knock at the door. It is the police, who inform you that you are under arrest, and that you are going to jail. Why? Because somewhere an unspecified, unidentified Black man has robbed a store.
"But I am innocent!" you yell.
"Yes, we know that, but you are Black, and a Black man robbed the store"
The policeman answers. "We are arresting you for being Black."
Now, what is the next logical thing for you to say? Will you not immediately point out that it is an injustice for you to be punished for something that you did not do? Will you not loudly protest that it is racism to blame an entire race for the actions of a few? Of course that's what you'll say – and of course you'll be right.
Why are you only, JUST NOW, thinking of that?
How will you deal with the fact that there were slave owners who were Black or American Indian? To all the Blacks who are clamoring for reparations from Whites: Are you willing to also call for the descendants of all Blacks who sold or kept slaves to chip in too? Are you willing to hit up the descendants of today's Egyptians for your "fair share," and to urge them to also pay reparations to the descendants of the Jews; whom they enslaved? How do you plan to compensate the descendants of the WHITE people, who came to this continent as slaves? (The euphemism for white slavery was indentured servitude). How will you deal with the fact that large numbers of whites are the descendants of people who came here after slavery was abolished? How will you deal with the fact that large numbers of blacks are the descendants of people who came here after slavery was abolished?
And are you willing to ask those Blacks and Arabs who still sell and keep slaves in Africa, to this day, to immediately stop this practice, to free their slaves, and to pay them, and their descendants reparations?
The big problem with collective guilt is that it punishes the innocent. We now hear that some of the descendents of the slave traders are supporting the idea of reparations. Tom DeWolf and Katrina Browne of the DeWolf family are examples. Are they offering to pay these reparations from their own family funds, or do the want someone else to pay? If there was any thought of justice in all of this, then the source of the reparations would be limited to nothing other than the assets that were inherited from slave traders and slave masters. In 1812, the DeWolfs owned more ships than the United States Navy. In 1837, former U.S. Senator James DeWolf died as the second richest man in America. Would the descendents of the slave traders and slave masters volunteer to exchange their financial portfolios for the financial portfolios of the descendents of the slaves? The descendents of the slave traders and of the slave masters might learn a lot from the conversations that they could have with the descendents of the slaves, while they wait together in the food stamp and welfare offices. Would it not be simple common sense that those who benefited from slavery should be the only ones to compensate those who were injured by slavery? Let's see if we understand this correctly. The slave traders and of the slave masters benefited from slavery. The descendents of the slave traders now want to benefit again by making a film, or writing a book, condemning slave traders. No one is volunteering to make any sacrifice of their own assets to compensate those who were injured by slavery.
We are told that "Islam" is not responsible for terrorism.
Why are we told that "whitey" is responsible for slavery? I'm just trying to get the rules straight on this collective guilt phenomena. It is perplexing to hear who it is; who is exclaiming about how peaceful most Muslims are. That's surely true, just as the vast majority of whites opposed slavery.
In all civil claims, when it is found that an injury was done, the injured party would only be entitled to be compensated exactly to the extent to what they would have had, absent the injury. In this case, that would be the standard of living of the average African. Exactly what are the damages, that resulted from being subjected to growing up in America, instead of Africa?
Of COURSE, if it was true that there was a valid claim for reparations, due to the enslavement of ancestors, that claim would be subject to corrections for value already received (welfare, subsidized housing, medicare, medicaid, food stamps, etc. etc. etc.) Anytime that a debt is over paid a refund is given.

Servotronics, Inc. Announces Second Quarter And Six Month Results For The Periods Ended June 30, 2010
ELMA, N.Y., Aug. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Servotronics, Inc. (NYSE Amex: SVT) reported an approximate 68% increase in net income to $1,401,000 (or $0.71 per share Basic, $0.66 per share Diluted) on revenues of $16,087,000. The comparable net income for the same six month period of 2009 was $835,000 (or $0.43 per share Basic, $0.41 per share Diluted) on revenues of $16,644,000. Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 increased approximately 10% to $778,000 (or $0.40 per share Basic and $0.37 Diluted) on revenues of $8,203,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to net income of $710,000 (or $0.37 per share Basic, $0.34 per share Diluted) on revenues of $9,106,000 for the comparable three month period ended June 30, 2009. The Company primarily attributes the decrease in revenues to decreased shipments at the Company's Consumer Products Group partially offset by increased shipments at the Company's Advanced Technology Group. The resulting increases in net income represents a combination of several factors such as product mix, cost containment activities and other recession mitigating factors.
As the Company previously reported, certain major manufacturers of commercial aircraft have publicly announced that they have initiated plans to ramp-up production to support forecasted increases in aircraft deliveries in late 2010, 2011 and 2012. Aircraft component suppliers are being advised to increase their manufacturing capabilities to support this forecasted accelerated aircraft production. There is a growing consensus that the world-wide recession is in the early stages of a slow recovery which may or may not be self-sustainable. Also, the Aerospace Industry Association's report issued in December 2009 was cautiously optimistic and confident in the future of Aerospace.
Government procurements are expected to continue to be volatile and may result in significant period to period performance fluctuations. The Company's marketing efforts continue to be enhanced by ongoing product developments at both the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) and the Consumer Products Group (CPG). The Company recently expanded its capabilities in its continuing efforts to add product lines and resources to the Company's inventory of skills and product offerings. The Company's many ATG aerospace products that are in a wide range of domestic and foreign programs are expected to benefit from a recovering Global economy. The CPG's product developments and expanded capabilities have led to significant government procurements and the expansion of the CPG's product line.

Meet Goldie
Goldie, star of Nat Geo WILD's Fish Bowl, is a fish out of water. Casted and reeled-in to be the main attraction. As her first big gig, she is absolutely thrilled and anxious. She's been waiting her whole life for a big opportunity like this and her dream is to be the next big thing!
WHO: A star waiting to shine. New to the entertainment biz. Goldie is a bit of a diva, but excited and anxious to make a splash!
WHAT: She thought she was going to be on during the Big Game… and didn't realize that she was going to be on during the Big Game…
WHEN: During Football's Biggest Game
WHERE: In a Fish Bowl
WHY: We wanted to blow the competition out of the water…
WHO ARE YOU ROOTING FOR, GOLDIE?: I think I'm rooting for Denver… since I've never had a problem with a Bronco, plus there's something about the color orange that I like.
I absolutely loveee the Fish Bowl! It's definitely genius and adorable! I hope to see it again next year!
"For anyone who has seen a goldfish in a bowl, the one this you probably remember is seeing the goldfish breathing rather heavily near the surface of the water. This is because the goldfish was suffocating. The oxygen in the water had been quickly used up, leaving the fish no choice but to hang near the surface and gulf for air. This is not good for your fish." Gregory Skomal, PhD, Goldfish 2008.
"Just Say No to Bowls! Goldfish should not be kept in bowls. I'm going to repeat that. Goldfish should not be kept in bowls…A single goldfish should never have less than 10 gallons of water…Goldfish kept in bowls, however will be silky and will never live long enough to grow to anything near full size." David E. Boruchowitz, Aquarium Care of Goldfish, 2009.
National Geo, My hat is off to you. The fish Bowl is a stroke of genius!
we're getting ready to watch the fishbowl!! can't wait to see what happens!!
YAY GOLDIE!! Can't wait to see you tonight!! :)

You are here: Southwark \ News \ In The Dock \ ARRESTED ON RETURN TO HEATHROW
5 February 2010
An American woman who allowed dangerous dogs to escape from her Dulwich mansion and then fled the country before she could be sentenced, was arrested as she arrived back at Heathrow.
Tracy Thier, 50, now living in Sydenham Hill, was given a far-reaching ASBO for allowing her dogs to roam the grounds of Beltwood House in packs. They were involved in serious incidents, including horrific attacks on members of the public, road and train accidents, and caused noise and nuisance to neighbours
Thier's ASBO prevented her from keeping dogs on any of the properties she is associated with, but she was soon found to have breached this by allowing friends to visit her with dogs.
But before she was sentenced, and while she was on bail, she disappeared to the US.
On her return to London almost two years later she was hauled before Tower Bridge Magistrates and District Judge Black, who had tried her for the breaches of the ASBO in 2008 and had reserved sentencing for himself.
He handed down a 100-day suspended sentence, ordered her to complete 100 hours of unpaid work and pay £1000 in costs within 28 days. A charge of failing to attend court had to be dropped because the court clerk did not have the appropriate form.

A one day live event about work, life and bucking the status quo. Come reclaim your creative freedom and access a higher level of badass-dom.
James Victore, TOTALLY LIVE. SPEAKING THE TRUTH.
Photo by Leigh Anna Thompson
"I wanted to make a symposium but all I could come up with was a revolution."
Take This Job & Love It '13 is a one day symposium where James breaks down the philosophies he's followed throughout his career and teaches you how to use these methods to maximize your own life and work.
TTJALI '13 is the convergence of design and creative arts, personal development and social impact. It's a place to reignite the passion in both your business and your life—to dig deep into to the fire that made you want to be a creator and fan those flames. Building on last year's event, TTJALI '13 goes deeper into identifying the methods you need to promote creative courage and work through the hard questions on your path to personal greatness.
This is a revolution. Designers, writers, artists, small-business owners, educators, anyone who wants to learn how to light up your career, harness your power and make a positive difference in the world—this is for you!
What we'll be covering:
- Understanding the value of your opinion and it's place in your work
- How to have confidence while living with fear and self-doubt
- Feck Perfuction: How perfection kills creativity
- How to cultivate your unique voice and vision
- How to develop relentless authenticity and creative courage
- How to live with purpose
- The importance of play in your work and life
- How to access radical freedom or, when a paycheck just isn't enough
- The value of being unreasonable
- Accepting responsibility for your awesomeness
- Coffee! Dance breaks! Swag!
- And much more
James Victore is an author, designer, activist, artist and firestarter who teaches creatives how to illuminate their individual gifts in order to achieve personal greatness. Described as "part Darth Vader, part Yoda," James is widely known for his timely wisdom and impassioned views about design and it's place in the world. He reaches thousands online with his weekly Burning Questions video series and leads game-changing workshops and seminars that help creative types of all spheres live and work successfully. At the helm of his independently run design studio, James continually strives to make work that is sexy, strong and memorable; work that tows the line between the sacred and the profane.
James' work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and is represented in the permanent collections of museums worldwide. His clients include Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Moet & Chandon, Yohji Yamamoto and The City of New York. His work was published in a monograph titled, Victore or, Who Died and Made You Boss?

For fellow photographers:)
Justin and I have been contemplating doing a post with some of our favorite album design elements for quite some time. We have had a ton of questions asked at our LYON-SHOP classes about album design, so we thought it would be helpful to post a full design and explain a few things that we like to keep in mind when designing an album for a client. Note: the images you are seeing below are full page spreads (left side to right side...like a magazine, with a small fold down the center of each spread). Also, I've added our watermark for blog purposes only, this isn't included in our final design.
1.We sell and design all of our albums in "spreads", this mean left side to right side (so essentially a spread is actually two pages).
2.We don't do any wording on the cover, the only wording you'll ever see is on the first spread with the client's name and date of wedding...we like to keep it simple! Remember that less is more!
3. For the page layouts, we keep it minimal. Each image should tell it's own story, so we don't like to over crowd the pages with too many images.
4. We don't like to use any drop shadows! We're really going for more of an art-book/high fashion type look. We have a few fashion books we've collected from Dior and Dolce & Gabbana and there's not one drop shadow!
5. We like all of the image lines to match up, look below and you'll see what we mean.
6. When designing the spreads, we try to keep in mind the "story" that each spread is telling and this what is helpful when grouping the images together.
Here is one of our favorite album designs to date! It is an 11x14 album, vertical, with 26 spreads.
Since there is a fold down the center of each spread, we are VERY cautious to not put faces or anything super important right on that folded line. In this spread below, the center folded line goes right down the left shoulder of the groomsman just four people over from the bride and groom.
We always like to end the album with a photo of just the bride and groom, this sort of helps wrap it all up!
We have to give a quick "high five" to our awesome album company that we do all of our printing and binding through: Renaissance Albums, you really are the best!

Thanks for sharing this Amelia. It's really cool of you guys to give this kind of insight. Awesome album design, too!(03.25.10 12:35 PM)
Kellan said:
Question.....do you choose the images or does the client? What do you cap it at? We also avg the same album size/spreads as this example so I am curious who chooses the images and how many you/they chose for an average album. Wonderful layout, love the clean and modern style. Thanks for sharing, always helpful. Blessings(03.25.10 12:36 PM)
amelialyon said:
Kellan, I actually let my clients choose their own images and I usually have them choose double the amount of spreads they are purchasing. So for example, if they have a 25 spread album they want, then I have them choose about 50 images. If they want more then they need to be open to purchasing more spreads. Hope this helps! If you show them a simple design upfront then they will understand why they only get to choose 50 images rather than 100!(03.25.10 12:42 PM)
Kellan said:
THANK YOU! Exactly what we needed to know. My husband and I have this debate all the time on who should choose and how many. It's hard for the client to understand sometimes that LESS is definitely MORE! Appreciate the quick response.(03.25.10 12:47 PM)

Awesome post! Is this who you do all your photo printing through as well? I am looking for some good quality printers to do individual photos in all different sizes. One last question - What kind of finishes on the paper do they offer or which have you found comes out the best?(03.25.10 05:03 PM)
Dana Goodson said:
I'd love to know what software you're using to design your albums. I hear a lot of people talk about using Photojunction and was wondering if that's what you use? Do you like to use templates are is each album from scratch?(03.25.10 06:09 PM)

*This post is strictly for photographers:)
For those fellow photographers that have had the opportunity to attend one of our LYON-SHOP classes, they can vouch for Justin and I when we claim that we are BIG believers in outsourcing! What is outsourcing?! Outsourcing is the answer to gaining more freedom in your business, more freedom with your family, more freedom for yourself, and freedom in order to keep you sane when you are bringing in more work then you can handle on your own! Outsourcing is the act of sending out tasks to another hired professional to work on so you can have more time to spend elsewhere.
One of the biggest tasks that we outsource is the post processing of our proofed images. Our company of choice is FOTOFAFA, and to say that we love them would be an understatement! Literally, we no longer have to spend countless hours filtering through thousands of images, we no longer have to spend countless hours adjusting contrast and white balance, and we no longer feel guilty taking a day off here and there to spend quality time with our children. In our book, Fotofafa equals freedom! That is one of the reasons for this post, we feel that they deserve a huge pat on the back for giving us our lives back!
When we say "proofed images" we mean that these are the images that our clients get to see online before anything goes to print and then ultimately will go through an artistic edit. For outsourcing, we'll first: go through and choose images that are our favorites for the blog (which we will process and edit ourselves...we still love working on our favorite shots), second: outsource the remaining work to Fotofafa to be filtered through and then proofed (white balance adjusted, contrast added, exposure perfected, etc....), then third: put the proofed images online for our clients to view for the purchase of prints or albums. Simple as that!
If we had one thing to suggest to each and every photographer out there who wants to have more personal time, we would say OUTSOURCE! Fotofafa is set up to process raws, jpegs, and album design.
Here are some before (raw images) and afters (proofed images) we've recently received from Fotofafa:
For those of you that are remotely interested in outsourcing some of your workflow, we would highly recommend giving Fotofafa a try! Be sure to ask for Kenny! You can visit their website by clicking here. Also follow them on twitter by clicking here!
Happy Tuesday!

Whoa! Even at the "proof" stage -- those already look so stylized. Did you have to work with Fotofafa a while in order to pin-down this distinct proof look? Or would someone who began working with them today be able to expect a similar outcome? They just look reallllly good for only being proofs -- I am astounded! Other examples from other companies just don't look so artistic at this stage, so I never trusted outsourcing. But THIS might change my mind!(02.09.10 03:03 PM)
amelialyon said:
Anda, Thats the best part about Fotofafa, they can cater to your specific needs (if you like your images warm or cool, contrasty or not), they can save those preferrences and make your images look how you want them to look. You should check them out!(02.09.10 03:34 PM)

Amelia, kudos to you for being honest and open about how you run your business, but also for allowing us all to give ourselves a break. I have always sat there and thought to myself, "How do the Lyons DO this time and time again? Have all of those shoots and have every image look so fabulously processed?" I am really considering outsourcing and I feel like this is the answer (I did contact Kenny before!!!). Thank you so much for being so gracious with your workflow!!!(02.09.10 06:04 PM)

Must say, I've never thought of outsourcing. These look fab!(02.09.10 07:48 PM)

Millie said:
Thats awesome! My question is, how many images are you giving out to non-wedding shoots. Like the ones featured in this post. Because it almost doesnt seem worth while is you are giving out on like 30 photos or so.(02.10.10 02:53 PM)
Kat Speyer said:
Thank you for sharing. I've also had mixed experiences and I've been hesitant to give up control again... as much as I want to, I haven't been able to trust as much as I should. I really am inspired to give these guys a shot. Looks like they do a wonderful job.(02.10.10 03:14 PM)
amelialyon said:
Hey Millie, I actually deliver 120-150 per portrait session and 700-900 per wedding. I normally shoot 500-700 per portrait session and 3,000-ish per wedding. I use Fotofafa for both portrait sessions and wedding because it saves me so much time! It is definitely worth it!(02.10.10 05:30 PM)
amelialyon said:
Kat, I understand about giving up the control. This is definitely difficult for an artist to do, but for proofing, I feel it is a necessary thing to outsource. The upside of this is that you WILL have more time to spend elsewhere (with your family, or focus that extra time in marketing and getting your name out there, etc). I am so glad that I learned how to give up some control. And rest assured that Fotofafa will listen to your specifics and do their best to apply those preferences to all of the images you send in. Hope this helps!(02.10.10 05:35 PM)

hili said:
does that mean that you only process the photos that you blog ? isn't that a problem , if clients expect to get from you the look that they see on the blog ?(02.17.10 10:40 PM)
amelialyon said:
Hili, I'm always 100% honest and upfront with my clients. The images they get to see online are only "proofs"....contrast added, color corrected, white balance perfected, this is why it is called a "proof". Then I let them know that anything that goes to print (whether it be images in a wedding album, or a large print) will go through the "artistic edit" so it will look like a work of art when it's in their hands. I simply explain that not all 700-900 images from a wedding will ever go to print, so it is pointless to artistically edit all 700-900 images (the same goes for a portrait session), then after I explain this they understand the reason why the proofed images look slightly different than the ones that they see on our blog. I haven't had a complaint yet from any one of my clients because took time to educate them on the process. Hope this helps.(02.18.10 09:13 AM)

It's a synthetic opiate, and is NOT one of the drugs

is not
the same class as anti inflammatories. I am too allergic to them but can take tramadol. I would try it and make sure someone is with you so if you do have a bad reaction they can take you to the ER. Tramadol is a pain medication and it may help your pain. It is not a strong one but it will help better than nothing at all and if you go ahead and try it and it doesn't work you can tell the doctor this and get something different.

But that may be because I have nothing else for pain, because I spent years
severe pain before I even got the

She will be in therapy, as well as group meetings.
addition, she will be monitored by doctors every week and her
will be tested as well. It's a very strict program that feels recovery isn't just taking an alternate pill. They will also help and monitor the weaning process. I did speak with them today. I still have my reservations and concerns about this drug BUT, if this is the route she chooses and she is like I said in an intensive outpatient program...

Pain Care ... I am always looking for information on the effectiveness and accuracy of the drug test we have to endure. I have just come across this one from Early this year. It has alot of information on how the UA works and why they are inconclusive most of the time. I am including the link as I have not posted everything in the article.

I bring first morning

But, like you, I can have symptoms and be negative all around and withing 48hrs of starting antibiotics feel better! The other thing is that you may have passed a stone or getting ready to pass one and the inflammation is causing the symptoms. It's s double edged sword we don't seem to ever really win.

You will get to the point where you just can't come off of it because the withdrawal is so bad.

that it can cause seizures, but it is addictive for those of us who have past addiction problems, and that would be you. The fact that you took 4 to see if you could get a buzz just speaks volumes of your behavior. And your behavior is going to keep you on this merry-go-round unless you change it.

Individual patients may have genetic variants of the enzymes, or may be taking inducer or inhibitor drugs, that strongly influence opioid metabolism and, hence, their detectable presence or absence
(or blood, or oral fluid if used) [see, Carlozzi et al. 2008; Smith 2009]. For example, the unexpected absence of one of the above opioid analgesics upon testing can be due to rapid metabolism in a patient rather than therapeutic noncompliance or drug diversion.

Because Ultram (which contains tylenol) and Tramadol (a generic for ultram minus the tylenol) is completely man made freak opiate, it does not show
that you are on an opiate. BUT YOU ARE. And you're on a nastier one than the others. At least the others have the decency of showing up on a drug test and aren't MIXED with some freakish anti-depressant. Am I angry? OF COURSE I AM! This drug was reclassified as a dangerous narcotic in Sweden in May of 2008.

Conflict Within Convergence
Daniel P. Kelly
University of North Carolina at Pembroke
December 6, 2007
Convergence is the force that is combining older forms of media – newspapers, television, and radio – into a singular form that could possibly reside on the Internet. This is an undeniable trend in the media industry with an ever-increasing number of media outlets working together to reap the perceived benefits of convergence, one of which is bringing information to the masses in whatever format they choose.
In all honesty, convergence is a beautiful theoretical trend. Media would become the Northwest Passage of information and entertainment by providing placid waters to every media destination.
Much like the fabled Passage, an idealized form of convergence may fall into the annals of human mythology. Converged media will likely resemble the typical exploratory voyage that leaves its passengers – the public – starved and filled with mutinous rage. A rouge wave of depleted information will leave even hardened seafarers with salt-stung eyes.
How can convergence have such noble possibilities yet become damaging to the flow of information?
Essentially, the public has been adventurous in adopting more forms of media – like the Internet – and using these forms as vessels to sail beyond the familiar territory of traditional information intake. As this has occurred the older forms of media have found their mainland domains depressingly uninhabited. And so, television, radio, newspapers, and the Internet have begun to band together for a necessary venture. The initial relationships are a bit strained, as once dueling forces must work together to liberate the public of its valuable treasure: attention.
Initial caution should be heeded through a tale of one brave (or foolish) lad who built his own raft out of HTML branches and CSS vines to test the invitingly dangerous waters of convergence.
It's an ironic twist how my own website dedicated to UNC-Pembroke football, Pembroke Pigskin ( www.pembrokepigskin.com ) has become the greatest lesson in convergence than I could have possibly imagined. I spent a ludicrous amount of time early in the semester putting its component parts together – HTML files, photos, insightful articles – and acquiring the necessary web space needed to get online. Once I was able to accomplish that – about 4 a.m. on some Tuesday – there was jubilation and relief. I had my own website and, more importantly, my own journalistic voice for the first time in college. It was a bit too much relief in retrospect.
I didn't quite understand the workload that would be required since I wore every single "hat" my website had to offer. I was constantly coding, writing, editing, and resizing photos along with every other responsibility of a college student. One Saturday night I spent the entire night working – surely an anomaly – putting up a very brief story and pictures about the homecoming game the team had won along with the previous week's road game. It was probably the least entertaining Saturday night in recent undergraduate memory. That event is slowly fading into distant memory and the last time I updated the site. I've reported on many other football games, but I haven't uploaded anything due to my exhaustion after that single event. In the journalistic world, this is an offensive practice. Perhaps some people would classify my "mental exhaustion" as "laziness," but I would obviously disagree. My meticulous nature demands perfection from every aspect of the site, from its layout to the actual content, but I simply don't have the time to pour into it like earlier in the semester. This experience could have thrown any positive outlook I had for convergence into serious doubt. Fortunately, I still believe strongly in the idea of convergence, but it is impossible to achieve through Herculean efforts of individuals. Luckily, I don't have to make a living off of my website like a baggy-eyed, caffeinated journalist would for an expansive media giant.
Imagine these media giants as fearsome, gargantuan sea monsters that continually lurk in the watery depths looking to snack on any passing ship to fulfill their insatiable appetite. Any traveler should fear their shadows just beneath the glassy surface and the threat they pose to a beneficial form of convergence.
The concentration of media ownership is a particularly worrisome aspect of convergence, as it limits the number of perspectives available to the public. As recently as October 18, 2007, the Federal Communications Commission was hoping to loosen the current media ownership laws that prohibit owning a newspaper and a television or radio station in the same city (Labaton).
Numerous ownership groups are certainly licking their collective lips for the possible repeal that would allow them to feast on any wayward media outlet of their choosing. Currently, some newspapers and broadcasting operations work together but under different ownership, thus evading the law entirely. This is a particularly dark side of convergence for the public due to the reduction of competition. Eventually, 50-80 companies will control the global information network, while the United States will be dominated by five to eight (Quinn 125). News organizations were previously able to achieve a high quality of reporting due to the competitive nature of traditional media. They each have honed their strengths over the perpetual battle for public attention. Television has brevity and visual appeal while newspapers have in-depth stories and unparalleled accuracy. In the case of converged media, these two forms work side by side – either as cooperative partners or under the same ownership – and are likely required to share the same information on a news story. The result is an unfulfilling slab of monotony. Despite any journalist's best intentions, there is a certain amount of personal interpretation and influence that goes into any given story. In a converged media operation the same reporter's information would be used online, in the television and radio broadcast, and retooled for the next day's newspaper. While working as a reporter in Chicago, Joe Kaplan has suffered through this still-awkward phase of convergence while covering a story:A small device was inserted into my ear and an equally small device was clipped onto my tie. I then answered questions from a broadcast journalist miles away while I looked into the camera that was pointed to my face. I eagerly told my interviewer what I was working on and what would be in the newspaper the next day. Thus, I scooped myself... (Kaplan 516)Kaplan's anecdote is exactly what's wrong with using convergence as a cost-cutting practice. It is certainly an extremely efficient method of news gathering, but is the public at a disservice? Absolutely, since it is impossible for a single reporter to cover the whole of any event in a single story or a series of articles. Multiple reporters looking at the same event in a unique, though still objective fashion, would better serve the public.
Of course, multiple independent reporters aren't a particularly good business practice as the competition clearly favors the consumer product over a business owner's profit. From a purely ethical standpoint, it would be wise to not completely saturate a market with just a single source to avoid overwhelming the public in a deluge of similar news. Then again, large businesses and ethics have a slightly greater affinity for one another than oil and water.
Luckily for business owners, they have reporters they believe are eager to take on numerous unfamiliar roles. This is a cost-cutting method of these media conglomerates, to simply reduce the number of staff and have a reporter complete multiple phases of a news story. That means a reporter would have to be extensively trained in writing, broadcasting, HTML, photography, and video to cover a story effectively. And even if this ideal reporter had above average abilities in these areas, there isn't enough time to do them justice given the deadline pressure he/she is facing. The only (nearly) viable option would be to surgically graft all the necessary net-enabled gadgets of converged reporting onto reporters along with nutritious, intravenous fluids to fuel them throughout their work.
This "versatile" journalist is a complete switch from the practice of division of labor that sought to have workers specialize in certain areas. Instead, this localization of labor hopes to create a media monstrosity out of a mere person. A single reporter is simply unable to do the quality of work that is needed for any single form of media. If cost cutting weren't the motivating factor, then the proper training could be administered and a suitable number of supporting staff could make this utility-knife journalist a remote possibility.
A business-focused view of convergence is exactly the wrong way to approach an innovative idea. If anything, convergence takes more work than a single form of media to work effectively. This isn't meant to diminish the business aspect of media, just to place its boundaries into greater focus. The Tampa Tribune is one converged news organization that Kaplan sharply criticizes. In his view, "the Tampa Tribune is, at best mediocre...though both news organizations [a TV station and a newspaper] shared their news budgets with each other throughout the day, it didn't seem to have much impact on the final news product (Kaplan 518)."
Basically, Kaplan sees that this collaboration between television and newspapers didn't improve the news story since both parts shared the same information. Despite this, the company is reportedly thriving financially but they do little with that profit to improve their news gathering abilities. Once the content of the editorial side is being affected by business decisions, there's a serious problem within that organization. Good content is what engages the viewer in the first place, not a given media outlet being an omnipresent force in their everyday lives. If media consumers believe that their content is shallow or (even worse) inaccurate, they will move on to a media provider that understands the specific strains of convergence and addresses them accordingly. This involves more work and an expanded budget, not drastic cost cutting. The media providers that succeed in convergence's lofty goals are going to reach the widest audience with the best content and convincingly outdo whatever competition they face. The essential lesson to remember is that only hard work and clasping tight to solid, ethical ropes are the only defense against convergence's storm-stricken seas. It is a journey filled with whirlpools, serpentine monsters, and cruel temptation, but braving those perils leads to the dawn of a new information age.

There are so many recipes I find that I don't have all the ingredients or I have never heard of the ingredients. Sometimes you have to be creative and put your own flare on things. I kind of did my own thing with this recipe and it is now one our favorites. Sorry, no story with this one….just an awesome recipe.
3 tbsp soy sauce plus 1 tsp later
1 tbsp olive oil plus 1 tbsp later
4 cloves minced garlic
3/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup chicken broth
1 package of skinless chicken breasts (thinly sliced)
1 small onion slices
1 small red pepper sliced
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
3/4 lb spaghetti
3 scallions chopped
In a zip lock bag, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oil, garlic, ginger and chicken. Let marinate at least 10 minutes.
In a medium sauce pan, combine 1 tsp soy sauce, peanut butter, broth, sugar, salt and red pepper flakes. Pour the marinade from the chicken into the saucepan and simmer, while whisking until smooth. Sometimes I add a little more chicken broth because I like my food really saucy. Set aside.
Start spaghetti.
Heat a grill pan with 1 tbsp of oil oil. Cook chicken until browned on both sides. Set chicken aside and cut into bite sized pieces. In the grill pan, saute onions and red peppers. Add back the chicken to the grill pan. Add in scallions.
Drain the pasta and mix with the peanut sauce, then add everything from the grill pan.

Lemtrada is FDA approved for people with relapsing MS
The FDA approval of Lemtrada is a significant milestone for people living with relapsing MS. Lemtrada demonstrated superior efficacy over Rebif on annualized relapse rates in two pivotal randomized Phase III open-label rater-blinded studies in patients with relapsing remitting MS which were the basis for approval. The clinical development program for Lemtrada involved nearly 1,500 patients including patients at the Swedish MS Center with more than ...
Rare infection occurs in patient on Tecfidera
PML is an infection caused by the JC virus. About half of the population has the JC virus. Once a person has the JC virus, the immune system quickly brings it under control, but the virus remains hidden in the kidneys after that. From the kidney, the virus can periodically flare up and the immune system quickly brings it under control again. There are many other viruses that have this ability to periodically flare up, for example a virus that remains hidden in the nerves of the face can periodically flare up causing fever blisters, or chicken pox virus remains hidden in the nerves and can periodically flare to cause shingles. The JC virus is fairly easy for the immune system to control, and it generally does not cause medical problems. The one exception is PML.
PML occurs when the JC virus flares up in a person whose immune system is not normal. In this setting the virus can spread from the kidney to the brain where it causes widespread damage and usually death. This can happen with a number of immune system diseases, or with prolonged courses of chemotherapy. In recent years PML has occurred with other medications that block the immune system.
Tecfidera has been a very successful medication used to treat multiple sclerosis. However, it can cause a decrease in the white blood cells and lymphocytes in the blood. This decrease is usually about 30, which is a level that would not be concerning. About...
Importance of planning pregnancies with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
A recent study addressed the outcomes of pregnancy in women with MS who were taking fingolimod (Gilenya). Of 66 pregnancies on the medication, 41 attempted to carry the pregnancy to term. 26 of the 41 had healthy newborns. There were, 9 miscarriages, 24 elective abortion, 4 ongoing pregnancies and 1 with an unknown outcome. Of the elective abortions, four were for fetal malformations. There were 5 cases with abnormal fetal development in the 66 pregnancies. Poor fetal outcomes were found in 14.6% of the pregnancies. This contrasts with a 3% rate of poor outcomes for most pregnancies.
This paper highlights the importance of care in planning pregnancies in MS. It is now known that women with MS have ...
Insufficient evidence to support complementary and alternative therapies for multiple sclerosis
A guideline was recently published about the use of complementary and alternative medicine in multiple sclerosis (MS).
The guideline process involves identifying all of the scientific articles about potential therapies and evaluating them based on their scientific merits. The evaluation process follows a strict set of requirements related to the conduct of the research.
The review included a wide variety of complementary and alternative therapies that have been proposed for MS. Not surprisingly, most therapies did not have sufficient scientific data to determine whether or not they were effective. Some cannabinoid preparations (marijuana extracts) were shown to be effective, primarily for spasticity. This reflects a relatively large number of studies done with these compounds and the availability of a commercially available extract in some countries. A handful of therapies were shown to be ineffective. Most therapies had insufficient studies to determine their effectiveness.
The importance of this review is that it ...
Weak link between epsilon toxin and MS
A recent article has been published suggesting that MS may be caused by a bacterial toxin. The bacteria is Clostridium Perfringens, a common bacteria found in soil and a cause of food poisoning. This bacteria can produce a number of toxins, one of which is the epsilon toxin.
This study found that about 10% of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) had antibodies to the epsilon toxin, compared to 1% of people without MS. In pathology specimens from mice, the epsilon toxin was found to bind to blood vessels in the retina of the eye, and to myelin in the brain. The authors also reported a single case of a woman with MS who was infected with Clostridium Perfringens and that was producing the epsilon toxin.
Though this study has been widely discussed online, I think that it is unlikely that this will be the answer to the MS problem. This study was primarily in pathology tissue, which found that the toxin was able to bind to myelin. Many more studies will be needed to determine whether this toxin is capable of causing damage to myelin of the type that is seen in MS.

"The entire design is a phenomenal reflection of a deep understanding of the unique needs of patients with multiple sclerosis. It is apparent the design team did their research, listened to the voice of the patient and caregivers, and integrated evidence-based design principles…."
That's high praise, and it is rewarding to know that the attention we paid to every detail — from furniture and flooring to treatment and waiting areas — was noticed. But it is even more rewarding to know that the center has become an incredible resource in treating those diagnosed with MS, a degenerative disease that strikes the central nervous system.
Information on multiple sclerosis and flu
Another important question is the role of vaccination in MS. In general, vaccinations do not seem to cause MS attacks. Because the vaccinations do not usually cause MS attacks, but the flu can cause an MS attack about 1 in 10 times, most neurologists recommend that MS patients receive the influenza vaccine. It is ...
