One of my professors in college just told me a funny story about meeting Miles on several occasions.
The first time he met Miles was in Detroit at a club called the Minor Key. He was about 15 at the time and was already playing saxophone. He went to a matinee show and afterwards he saw Miles standing alone and decided to approach him and ask for his autograph. He didn't have a program or a record for him to sign with him so he reached in his pocket to see what he had. He pulled out his musician's union card.
So he approaches Miles, introduces himself, and tells Miles that he plays saxophone. He then asked if Miles would sign his union card. Miles took the union card out of his hand, takes a look at it, ripped it in half, and gave it back to him.
Decades later, my professor was in Boston playing with a big band. The leader of the band happened to be good friends with Miles. Miles' band was also in town and the big band had a night off during one of Miles' performances. So the bandleader asked my professor is he would like to go and meet Miles. Trying to put the past behind him, he agreed.
So they arrive backstage at Miles' show and Miles is sitting down on a huge black beanbag and the room is fairly full of people. The bandleader goes up to Miles, greets him, and then introduced Miles to my professor. By this time it's pretty quiet in the room and all the attention is focused on the three of them.
Professor goes on to tell Miles the details about the first time they actually met back in Detroit at the Minor Key. To that, Miles responded, "I wouldn't do no shit like that!!"
Back on a September night in Boston at Wally's Café, I was playing with the band and in walks in a familiar-looking older gentleman wearing some dark shades and a Miles Davis tee shirt. He also had what looked like a trumpet case in his hand, ready to play! As it turns out I had met him in October of 2010 in Wilmington, Delaware at a Clifford Brown Tribute concert that we were both billed on. So I got off of the bandstand and reintroduced myself and invited him to the bandstand. His name was Dr. Richard Williams. We played a few tunes then we went on break.
During the break, Richard began telling me about his life in music. He was a classmate of Clifford Brown in Delaware. Clifford was a few grades ahead of him and during Clifford's graduation he played an excerpt from the Carnival of Venice. Hearing this inspired Richard to become a better trumpeter and do the same thing at his graduation.
Richard later went on to study at Harvard University's Medical School. Richard told me that for one of his projects at Harvard he decided to interview Clifford Brown. He went meet Clifford for the interview on an evening in late June of 1956. He said that the interview was a couple of hours and Clifford had to cut it short because it was getting late and he had a long drive ahead of him. That was the last time Richard saw Brownie alive because he, along with Beverly and Richie Powell passed away in a car accident.
Richard decided to join the music fraternity when he started at Harvard and one of his initiations was to go to see Miles at his performance in Boston and convince him to come to Harvard with his band for a concert.
Richard was familiar with Miles music and the players that were in his band at the time. At the concert in Boston Richard noticed that Miles had a new saxophonist in his band. Richard was taken aback by the style of this saxophone player and decided to go and introduce himself to Miles and ask him about his new saxophonist. So he approached Miles and asked him about this saxophonist (who turned out to be Trane, btw) and Miles replied, saying something to the degree of, "Why don't you go and sit down and listen, you'll probably learn something." So Richard did for the rest of the concert and decided to go up to Miles at the end of the concert and talk to him about why he was really there. Miles actually agreed to bring the band to Harvard and that's where Miles and Richard's friendship began.
Sometime after finishing his studies at Harvard, Richard started a practice and had Miles as one of his primary clients. He said that he actually lived with Miles for a number of years. He relayed many stories about Miles that I never knew. He said that Miles had a thing for hair. If you knew Miles well, he would sometime run his fingers through your hair and ask if he could do your hair. He was also a visual artist as many of you may well know. Richard has many works by Miles including some illustrated ties that Miles made.
It's always great to meet people like Dr. Williams, people who've actually lived the history of this music. It's a constant reminder to me of how NEW this music is in relation to the age of other art forms.
Dr. Williams also has a record that's available through cd baby! You can check it out by clicking on the picture below.
Thank you all for supporting this project and this label! I'm excited to present this project of mostly original material with this NY based band (with all the members having musical ties to Boston/Cambridge). It's indeed an all-star cast and I don't think I could have picked a better group for the tunes that I selected for the session. It was one of the smoothest sessions that I've ever been a part of music wise, but at the same time, it was one that I was extremely nervous about because we didn't rehearse and I was worried that everyone on the session would not have had time to check out the music ahead of time. As it turned out, they played the tunes like they wrote them themselves. Every song was recorded in two takes and in most cases we kept the first one. I'm really thankful for that.
The Songs
Here Today, Gone Yesterday- This song was a part of a project that I presented in 2009 in NYC. The project, "Never Before, Never After", was a concert featuring my original compositions with the intent of premiering them the night of the concert (Never Before) and never to play them again (Never After). To me, it was a lesson in detachment from my work. The band, however, convinced me that disposing of all the tunes wouldn't be the best idea, so we agreed to choose one of the tunes and add it to our repertoire. This tune in 7/4 time was the lucky winner!
Abu Abed- This is the newest composition (composed in the summer of 2010) on the record. The song was inspired by a story that I heard on NPR's This American Life about a man by the name of Abu Abed. I composed this piece in 5/8 time, but it's much easier felt and played with 5/4 time in mind.
3rd Shift- I wrote this song for my mother. For over 20 years, my mom worked the 3rd Shift in the textile industry, so this tune is dedicated to her!
Takes Courage to be Happy- I wrote this song for Abbey Lincoln in 2006. I had the honor and the pleasure of first meeting Abbey after the first set of one of her performances in Boston at Sculler's Jazz Club on Valentine's Day (which happens to be my birthday) several years ago. In our conversation between sets, I remember her asking me if I had my trumpet with me and if I would like to sit in with the band. I didn't have it with me but we exchanged information and decided to stay in touch because I had many questions for her about the music. I took me about a year to muster up the courage to call her but I did finally. In the course of this conversation, Abbey suddenly says to me, "You know Jason, it Takes Courage to be Happy!" A song was born.
Skylark/I Can't Help It- This arrangement was a part of a project that I put together for a special performance in the winter of 2009 in Boston. For this project I celebrated the music of Johnny Mercer by arranging some of his classics and fusing them with my originals and other classic tunes in the jazz and pop canon. Me, like most people in mid to late 2009, were mourning the passing of Michael Jackson. In the fall of 2009 I started to rediscover the beauty of the songs that Michael wrote and performed. I then thought of the idea of adding I Can't Help It (composed by Susaye Greene and Stevie Wonder) to the project I was putting together at the time.
3 Point Turn- I wrote this tune for Mark Turner in October of 2008 in a hotel room in Finland on tour. One of my favorite records is Mark Turner's Dharma Days. There's a nice tune in 5/4 time on the record entitled Jacky's Place. 3 Point Turn is a variation of the B section of Jacky's Place where I borrowed the pair of chords in the bridge of Jacky's Place and added two more pairs, making 3!!
Capricorn-This is my reharmonization of a Wayne Shorter classic.
The Players
Mark Turner- Mark Turner is one of the most influential non-trumpeters on my approach to improvisation. I spent many hours in college absorbing Mark's playing and composing style, delving into his records as a leader such as Dharma Days and Ballad Sessions as well as the records he made with guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel (The Next Step, Enemies of Energy, and Heartcore). His collaboration with guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel produced music that left an indelible earprint on my jazz generation. Mark possesses many of the attributes that John Coltrane exhibited, including the idea of becoming a selfless musician and playing for more of a lofty purpose. When I listen to Mark, the absence of the ego in his playing is pretty evident to me. This project represents the first time that I've played with Mark. I'm extremely lucky to have him on this record.
Nir Felder- Nir's the kind of player that has the intrinsic gift of making the listener want to move one way or another when he plays. He's one of the busiest guitarists on the scene in NY and that's saying a lot, considering the bulk of guitarists on the scene. I initially met Nir when he was a student at Berklee College of Music in Boston. I had the occasional pleasure of having Nir in my band at Wally's so I was able to witness his speedy pace of musical development firsthand. Upon finishing his studies at Berklee, he then moved back to NY to further his already bright career. We reconnected musically in 2009 during our residency at the JazzUV Festival in Veracruz, Mexico.
Edward Perez- Edward has enjoyed having one of the most diverse careers in music to this day. He's played with many of the greats in jazz (Mark Murphy, Miguel Zenon, Kenny Werner, and Ari Hoenig) to the greats in Latin music (Julio "Chocolate" Algendones, Juan Medrano Cotito, Sergio Valdeos, and Andrés Prado). Born in Texas, Edward began playing music at a young age and by the age of 13 he was a member of the symphony orchestra in his hometown. He l attended the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan as a teenager and went on to study applied mathematics at Harvard University. It was during Edward's time at Harvard that I was able to begin a musical relationship with him. We played many nights at Wally's, the Wonderbar, and Ryles Jazz Club.
Kendrick Scott- Kendrick hails from a rich lineage of strong, young, gifted drummers/musicians from Houston Texas. Kendrick Allen Dewitt Scott, affectionately known as KADS, attended the Houston School for Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA). This school has produced musicians such as Eric Harland, Chris Dave, Walter Smith III, Jason Moran, Robert Glasper, Mike Moreno, and Andre Hayward. We first started playing together in saxophonist Grant Langford's band at The Goodlife in downtown Boston while Kendrick was studying music at Berklee. We later performed in the house band at the Wonderbar and Wally's Jazz Café. Upon graduating from Berklee, Kendrick relocated to NYC and joined Terence Blanchard's band, where he has been a mainstay ever since. Kendrick has a golden touch on the set and has strong ears behind a drum set as well as behind a studio soundboard. He is the founder of World Culture Music, a record label based in NY.
Thank you again for listening and I hope you enjoy! Until next time!
Swing it out!

Here's another workout for you! Trumpeters, use false fingerings in cases where the line feels easier to play using them. Also play these in ascending order. Click here to download!
Here are some simple triadic sequences you can try out if you feel the urge. I would suggest playing these to the double bar first, then try to play from start to finish. Horn players try to play this from start to finish in one breath. Attempt to memorize as well. Click here for the pdf!

I have always been super concerned about my kids and head injuries while playing sports. Did you know that at least 1.6 to 3 million youth and adults suffer sports and recreation related concussions annually in the U.S.?
Thanks to iVillage, I had the pleasure of attending the NFL 2012 Youth Health and Safety Luncheon hosted by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell where we learned about youth football safety so that we could spread the word to our communities. Being a mom of four boys, two of whom who have played tackle football, I am concerned about the incidence of head injuries and concussions among the three million kids who play football in the U.S. I even had my sons sit out this season due to my growing concern about their precious brains. I truly have no evidence that any of my children has suffered concussions after bad playground falls, game collisions or as a result of tackles -- but I was also unaware of all the signs of a concussion. I knew that I had a lot to learn.
The discussion was led by Dr. Gerard Gioia, Ph.D (Children's National Medical Center), Dr. Elizabeth Pieroth, PsyD (Chicago Bears, Northshore University Healthcare System), Kelly Sarmiento (Centers for Disease Control), Scott Hallenbeck (USA Football) and Corrie Elkin (USA Football "Mom Coach"). Here are some important concussion basics as described by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) Heads Up initiative that can help you keep your kids safe:
1. A concussion is a brain injury that affects how your brain works and is caused by a blow to the head or the body.
2. It can happen even if your child isn't knocked unconscious.
3. If you think that your child has a concussion, your child should not return to play on the day of the injury and should only return after a health care professional says your child is okay to play.
4. Concussion symptoms include headache, confusion, difficulty remembering or paying attention, balance problems or dizziness, feeling sluggish/hazy/foggy/groggy, feeling irritable/more emotional/down, nausea or vomiting, bothered by light or noise, double or blurry vision, slowed reaction time, sleep problems and loss of consciousness.
5. It is important to report the symptons for a number of reasons. Unlike other injuries, playing or practicing with a concussion is dangerous and can lead to a longer recovery and a delay in returning to play. While your child's brain is healing, he/she is much more likely to have a concussion, which could mean a longer recovery time and also a greater likelihood of long-term problems. in rare cases, concussions can lead to brain swelling or permanent brain damage -- or even be fatal.
Now that you are hiding under the table, let me assure you the benefits of youth sports can outweigh the risks. The experts explained to us that youth sports help kids develop self-discipline, keep up their grades, develop time management skills, encourage social support and friendships, increase self-esteem and could potentially result in financial rewards (college scholarships and/or professional athletic career).
As a parent, you can help reduce the risk of concussions by reducing your child's exposure, having the coach change your child's playing position, having the coaching staff review the team's style of play or even getting individualized coaching for your child. If your child does sustain a concussion and is unable to play as a result, he/she can still remain very active in the sport by becoming a coach or a mentor to the team.
While the luncheon was chock full of information, there were also many personal highlights. I met NFL Football Commissioner Goodell (my husband was so jealous!) It was such a pleasure meeting Corrie Elkin, a first time football "Mom Coach" who led her 8-year-old son's team to be the #1 seeded team in their league. It was especially telling for her to speak because it is usually moms who are more concerned about injuries from youth sports. Armed with the information and training from USA Football, she was able to successfully coach her son's team and monitor the players for injuries without significant interruption of practice or play.
Additionally, USA Football is now promoting a new Heads Up tackling program designed to reduce head injuries in youth football. The CDC and USA Football also offer online training for coaches and parents to learn about concussion identification, safety and when to seek treatment. We even learned about a smartphone application that helps coaches and parents identify potential concussions (I already downloaded it!)
The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) also just announced that the NFL has agreed to donate $30 million in support of research on serious medical conditions prominent in athletes, which is the largest philanthropic gift the NFL has given in the league's 92-year history.
My quest for knowledge has now been fulfilled -- I can now understand how a concussion can occur, the risks and effects of possible concussion injury and the many resources available to coaches and parents. After learning what I now know, I might even let my boys play next season!

"This was so fun," said Fischetto, who played '80s music in the trailer as she styled Cynthia Nixon's hair. "Our inspiration was the Dorothy Hamill cut. Miranda didn't start out as the stylish type, but did her best to keep up with it all. We went for humorous but still believableI think we succeeded." (We agree!) Plant-Price let the hair be the focus by keeping the makeup light: "Miranda was growing into herself in the '80s. She cared more about books than looks. Now, of course, she has it all."

'The Karate Kid' Remake Waxes On With Jaden SmithCasting Couch By Rob Hunter on November 11, 2008 | (27) Comments
The oft-rumored remake of The Karate Kid is back on track with a writer, producers, and a new star attached. Variety reports that Columbia Pictures has refashioned the 1984 classic as a star vehicle for Jaden Smith. Will Smith will produce with his production company, Overbrook Entertainment. Chris Murphy's script moves the action to Beijing and elsewhere, but the plot remains basically the same as in the original with a bullied youth taking refuge under the wing of an eccentric older man.
The Karate Kid spawned two sequels throughout the eighties, all starring the eternally youthful Ralph Macchio. The mid-nineties saw the release of The Next Karate Kid, which is remembered as the first film to star Hilary Swank playing a boy. All four films also starred Pat Morita as Mister Miyagi.
Jaden Smith made his film debut alongside his father in The Pursuit of Happyness, and will also be seen in next month's The Day the Earth Stood Still. Following in his father's footsteps, Jaden has already pressured the studio to alter the ending to The Karate Kid reboot. **SPOILER** Reportedly, his character notices familiar traits in his mentor before realizing that the wise, old man is indeed himself from forty years in the future. Smith plans for the film to be the first in a karate/time travel trilogy.

Hi, I am so hurt right now and confused.

I agree with the other posters. He didn't tell that girl he had a girlfriend who he loves dearly. What did he tell her? - something that would make the girl think he is single. Along with exchanging numbers, well... "duh!" It's pretty obvious what he was up to.
Sorry. I know you've already established a life with him but it appears to only be in superficial ways. You can reestablish yourself without him easily. This man is not worth keeping around for the long haul.
|Tue, 11-15-2011 - 9:47am
If this isn't the first time he's done this, I'd have a very hard time forgiving him and moving on. Especially if he doesn't see that what he did was wrong.
|Mon, 11-14-2011 - 5:05pm
Do you believe what that girl said? Because for me it is not that he messaged this girl but the fact that he said how you two broke up. For me that is a sign that he was hoping something will happend between him and that girl, why else would he lie? Just think about it this really hard because I know you love him and you want him to change but what he did was so disrespectful.
And also how will you trust him in the future? Do you really think he will stop or will he just get better at hiding it from you? Do you know why he is doing this?These are things that you need to think about and also speak to him about.
Problem is that we women usually do not get out of the relationships when we should, we tend to linger and hope that somehow miracle will happen and that he will change. But years go by and nothing changes and then we look back thinking why we did not get out on time. You might have invested a lot into this relationship but imagine if you stay

text: In addition to articles by each of the authors, this book contains reproductions of art works that bring fresh understanding to the discussion. In the middle of the book is a section of twenty pages of reproductions of works presented at Dazibao in the context of its 1998-1999 Deviant Practices programming. Five authors explore deviant practices in photography, those practices that work photography over, that knead and shake it up, and push it in new directions, by probing its most intimate mechanisms in unusual confrontations with other disciplines. Among the subjects tackled is the increasingly common infiltration of the photographic, or of photography itself, into artistic practices that are not defined, a priori, as being part of photography. The authors discuss the unofficial history of photography, in which it has maintained, from its inception right up until recent new technological advances, uneasy relations with other media. They examine how the idea of photography as an iconic medium has become outmoded, and explore photography's particular ability to undermine reality and work on a subversive plane.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Anesthesia Topics
> Detail Page
Drug shortages of anesthetics are currently impacting anesthesiologists and patients each day. While shortages can result in delayed or canceled medical treatments and procedures, physician anesthesiologists are working to ensure patients remain safe and receive quality care.
Many anesthesiologists have been able to work through the drug shortages by using alternative medications. However, some complications can occur if the first choice of medication is unavailable. To help address this, ASA participated in a Drug Shortage Summit in November 2010 to coordinate efforts with leaders from other key health care organizations. ASA plans to continue to work with workgroups identified by the Summit to develop recommendations to address the shortages.
Since the summit, several steps have been taken to develop solutions including the introduction of S.296, the "Preserving Access to Life-Saving Medications Act," by Senator Klobuchar (D-MN) and the request for a Government Accountability Office investigation into the shortages by Senator Blumenthal (D-CT).
When drug shortages occur, having a physician involved in your care who understands the ways to work around the shortages is important. If you are concerned about the shortages, please meet with your anesthesiologist to learn more.
Total care of the surgical patient before, during and after surgery.
Choose a topic:
Smoking and Surgery
Learn why stopping smoking before surgery can have an impact on your outcome.
Download, print, fill out, and keep this checklist. It just may save your life.
Ask your anesthesiologist questions about what to expect before, during, and after your procedure.
The ASA does not employ physician anesthesiologists on staff and cannot respond
to patient inquiries regarding specific medical conditions or anesthesia administration.
Please direct any questions related to anesthetics, procedures or treatment outcomes
to the patient's anesthesiologist or general physician.

Special Fox Report on Libya Terrorist Attack 10 PM et Tonight
Bret Baier mentioned (on his 6pm show) that Fox will be airing a 'special' on the whole Benghazi affair tonight at 10 pm EDT.
» 16 Comments
Fox — Special Report on Terrorist Attack on Benghazi
ABC — Dancing with the Stars
NBC — The New Normal
CBS — Survivor
CNN — Michelle Obama, the 21st century Jackie
MSNBC — We Tingle for ObamaNoteworthy Comment +10
I think the case against the Won is reaching critical mass.
Dick Morris said there will probably be an "October surprise", and it may be a deal the Won has done with Iran.
I don't think whatever it is will one damn bit of difference.
The foreign policy/national security issue is a huge SCOAMF.
And the people are finally waking up to that.+6
Got in on DVR. Going to a high school football game tonight. With a third really good week for the GOP, I'm beginning to come out of the fog of politics and looking forward to the "new normal."+4
Looking forward to this.+2
I hope Bret tells us about Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty. I'm watching now.+2
There are re-enacting what went down at the embassy compound that night, and it is just chilling to watch. And heartbreaking, considering that we already know the outcome.
The Administration can never escape from this tragedy, that is of their making.+8
My question is with all the mayhem that night were any bad guys killed? I have an email from an ex marine who tells me that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty fought and killed many terrorists before the were killed. I spoke to him by phone. Let me tell you I'd believe him before I'd believe Jay Carney, Hillary, Rice,Obama, or Biden. Or the ediot PJ Crowley.+9
that's Idiot, PJ Crowley.+5
I do not have "TV". I will have to wait for Comments.+2
Well worth watching! Lots of stuff that kinda went by the wayside, what with the MFM. One thing though, that I didn't see, and it sticks in my head is Shrillary saying that the terrorists lovingly carried Chris Stevens to the hospital! What a pants (suit) load of crap that was!+1
Extremely well done.
One interesting "gap" however, which I think was intentional: very little emphasis on Ambassador Stevens' whereabouts–and condition–from when he went into the "safe room" until he was brought to the hospital. The bits of information they gave raised more questions than they answered. And, IMO, you could practically hear the narrator's sarcasm as he reported on the Libyans shouting Allahu Akbar "in joy" when they found that Stevens was still alive.
I think they skated over that because they know that storyline is a lie. Leaving room for more developments.+1
p.s. …because that "in joy" business has two diametrically opposed implications. Which was deliberately left unresolved in tonight's report.0
Let's review history, shall we? In 1972 there was a break-in that was politically motivated. No one got killed, or even injured. The dust-up by the Media and the Left was SO GREAT, a Republican President RESIGNED in shame (and to avoid Impeachment which would tear apart our nation).
In 2012, a Middle East Consulate BEGGED for more security forces, after there were many various terrorist attacks in the area for a few MONTHS. These requests were IGNORED and the Ambassador was SET UP for death by this administration. Four Americans were massacred horribly. The Media yawned. The prezdint went to Vegas. And they ALL covered up and LIED about the entire situation.
Up to date now? BTW – The prezdint took TWO WEEKS to admit that this was a TERRORIST ATTACK – after LYING TO AMERICA AND THE UN as to WHO WAS TO BLAME. He is STILL in office. No charges. No shame. No Impeachment. No jail time. He's a Leftist, of course. So are the Media folks.+5
This is a huge pile of steaming excrement and it's not going away any time soon. Buhrock and Hilarity are going to wish they had simply admitted their policies are an utter and complete failure, instead of misleading & minimizing the massacre at Benghazi – deflecting and dissembling to the American people.
We are like an abused & battered spouse who has FINALLY come to the realization that the lying bastid is just no good! Except for Obamafone lady, but I've got enough scorn to make up for her and her ilk…+2
barock Benghazi obama There…now he can use his middle name.+2
If not a "natural reaction" to this BS video, ask yourselves "What was the motive/purpose of this terrorist/military attack"? Looking at detailed the recreation and seeing the manner in which it was conducted; from a strategic point of view the only conclusion one can make is that it was done to effect the extraction of AMB Stevens alive and as a hostage. This explains many the many ridculous and pre arranged comments from the WH. I'm sure if once the Islamist terrorists had been successful, the "spin" they would be professing would have been in lock step with the WH, that is anger over the video and insult to the prophet. All they got was a murdered Amb. and a fuked up story. WHOOPS!+2

California Man in Federal Custody for 2008 Arson of Salem Convenience Store
PORTLAND, Ore. - Birkamal Singh, 31, of San Jose, California, was arrested in San Jose on November 2, 2012, by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) on a federal indictment for arson that destroyed the EZ Market, a convenience store at 3185 River Road North in Salem, Oregon, on October 17, 2008. The indictment, filed in Portland on October 30, 2012, also alleges the fire caused personal injury to another person, listed as 's .M. - Singh was the owner and operator of the EZ Market and resided in Salem at the time of the fire.
Singh appeared before a United States Magistrate Judge in San Jose on Friday, November 2, and was ordered held in custody pending a detention hearing on Wednesday, November 7. Federal prosecutors will seek his return to Oregon to face trial on the indictment. An indictment is only an allegation of a crime, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The indictment was the result of a four-year investigation by ATF, the Salem Police Department, the Salem Fire Department, and the Oregon State Police Forensic Laboratory. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Stephen F. Peifer in Portland.

Love and 24 is an April Fool's prank, a fully voiced two-minute cutscene trailer for a supposed "reimagining" of Love and War, my freeware RPG series. Those who have some knowledge of the show "24", as well as my RPG, will get the most out of it, but I suspect most will get the joke regardless, heh. Hope you enjoy, and do let me know what you think!

I Didn't Get Into The Nursing Program...now what?? - page 2
I applied to 4 programs, all state schools, and I've received rejection letters from 2, one of which was my top choice. I did, however, get accepted into the universities as a undergraduate transfer student. Has this happened... Read More
- 0May 7, '13 by LatinoHealthNutSo do you think because you enrolled in the university that improved your chances of getting accepted into the BSN program?
- 0May 8, '13 by nay2vpI'm at fresno state and right now, students are only accepted in the fall to the university. I got into my program Fall 2012 and the cutoff was 3.8 gpa. The Spring cutoff was 3.5 or 3.6. It was a lot lower because only fresno state students were able to apply. If your school is like mine, it would definitely benefit you to transfer.
- 0May 8, '13 by stephanie.The university I attend gives preference to its own students. You may have a better chance after taking some classes there.
- 0May 8, '13 by HouTx GuideHard to believe that OP didn't get in - those programs must have stellar applicants.
OP, is relocation an option? I happen to know that University of New Mexico is currently SEEKING BSN students due to low number of qualified applicants - yep, hard to believe. There may be other state universities out there in the same situation.
- 0May 9, '13 by KvedaaI dont just think, I know. It was some advice that one of the faculty on the admissions team gave me,they also suggested a non-science degree. At the traditional BSN level in my cohort most people either already have a bachelors in something other than nursing or are in the process of attaining one. But that may be specific to the school Im attending.

Laureate Spotlight: Reflecting on the 20th Anniversary of Mandela's Nobel Peace Prize
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Nelson Mandela's Peace Prize. In 1993, Nelson Mandela and F.W de Klerk were recognized for "their work for the peaceful termination of the apartheid regime." Nearing 95, Nelson Mandela is a global icon and a symbol of peace. Mandela played an instrumental role in the discussions that led to the dismantling of apartheid in South Africa, which was characterized by white minority rule.
His leadership during and after the negotiations laid the foundation for a new South Africa. Following the dismantling of apartheid, Mandela became the first black democratically elected president of South Africa.
As president, Mandela led South Africa on a course that took the country forward prioritizing on nation-building and reconciliation. He worked tirelessly towards the promotion and maintenance of peace in South Africa.
Taking office at a time when South Africa was deeply divided, he restored the dignity of the black majority while also reassuring the whites that they had nothing to fear from the change of government. Naming his former adversary F.W de Klerk as deputy president is a true testament of his efforts of racial inclusion at all spheres of society even at the highest levels of government. Mandela was dedicated to the functioning of the Rainbow Nation. The Rainbow Nation is a term coined by 1984 Nobel laureate, Desmond Tutu, to describe the diversity of races and tribes that characterize modern South Africa.
It is widely believed that Mandela's leadership before and during his presidency averted a civil war along racial and ethnic lines. Peace appears to have been perpetually on his mind when examines his actions and decisions.
After leaving office and retiring from active politics, Mandela established a charitable fondation. A true global citizen, Mandela lent his efforts and time as an advocate of peace, reconciliation, often through the auspices of his foundation.
As part of his 89th birthday in 2007, Mandela established The Elders, which is a grouping of 12 eminent leaders whose aim is to use their wisdom and experience to tackle global issues. Members of the Elders include Nobel Laureates former US President Jimmy Carter, former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, former Finnish Prime Minister Martti Ahtisaari, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
In honor of the contributions Mandela made towards the culture of peace and freedom, the United Nations declared July 18th as the Nelson Mandela International Day. It is important to note that the Mandela is the first individual to receive such an honor. The day brings to attention the values that Mandela embraced which include democracy, equality, diversity, reconciliation, and respect.
At the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize Forum, at which F.W de Klerk was a keynote speaker, he credited Nelson Mandela for the important role he played in the building of new post-apartheid South Africa. What we can all learn from Mandela's leadership is to be part of something bigger than the self and to work tirelessly towards it. As we reflect on Mandela's 20th anniversary as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate there is no overstating the impact of Mandela's leadership and actions. Simply put his contributions to have been momentous.

"He called her Santiago (or was it Santiago?)"
Back in the summer of 2004, I began receiving a lot of spam which included the most bizarre paragraphs of garbled nonsense imaginable. Strangely, the emails never seemed to advertise anything. Almost immediately I fell in love with them, as they seemed to read like beautiful nonsensical poetry. I proceeded to collect them all, and I have posted the best ones below, along with their titles (the subject line), their authors (the from line), and the dates I received them. Sadly, they abruptly stopped appearing in my inbox one day: disappearing just as suddenly as they had once appeared.

Desurium is great. I couldn't get Desura to work on Linux Ubuntu, but installed Desurium with very little hassle. Thanks to everyone who's been developing this and using it.
I am a fan of the Desura/Desurium project, and I would like to say, I love the team's work. I come with a question. Since Desurium is open source, would it be alright if I create a Private Package Repository (PPA) for Ubuntu of bi-nightly built Desurium clients?
Hello Desurium community members, I've a question about this project:
What should I use Desurium client insted of the official Desura one?
Is it because all that RSM speech about free source or there is another explanation?
Thanks, I'm a noob about this kind of things ><
Desurium and Desura have a connection just like Chromium and Chrome. the difference is that Desura is a branded binary with an auto updater. Desura also receives official support. Desurium is more up to date and is what will be in distribution repositories. So if you use Linux you should use Desurium.
Hi there guys, I'm Blaise Kinyua of University of Games... A new games development co. from Nairobi Kenya. We have just released the demo version of of first Android game. Go to uogames.net/games to download the .apk file or you can play online. Give us enough feedback for the full version coming mid February.
This might not be the best place to touch base with prospective players (this group is for developers, etc. of the open source Desura client rather than a group of gamers specifically).
Best of luck with your project.
you can pass some options to cmake via -D<option>[=<value>]
Debug is off by default
DEBUG OFF will add debug symbols and other
so -DDEBUG ON
DEBUG_EXTERNAL OFF same as DEBUG, but for externap deps
could be set as on
also gdb may be a good tool
Fantastic work. Compiled version git on Debian testing (Wheezy / 64-bit) and run very smooth, just a few crashes, but I'll check. Finally video player works, not too difficult to build, support for 32-bit games ok and the logo Desurium is very beautiful. This logo could be the official logo of Desura, it is much more notable logo. Thank you Desurium team.

Questions I'll bring to #etmooc
Since I've participated before in connectivist MOOCs, the start of #etmooc has me thinking about why I've come back. Sure, I'm interested in the content of the course. The topics this course will explore come up daily in my work as an instructional coach, so I think this course will help me stay current on important, emerging themes in educational technology.…

…Et tu, MOOC? It's not my first time to enter…or return. To orient is to situate yourself but also explore your setting, take your bearings. The drill can still turn up surprises

Join the #etmooc bazaar
I like the way that #etmooc (Educational Technology & Media Massive Open Online Course) organisers have opted for a "bazaar" model rather than a "cathedral" model to structure the experience. As explained on the orientation page:

Fear, Technology, and Discernment
A blog post by @mrsdkrebs got me thinking about what is holding me back from being the chief learner in my class. For many teachers it is fear.
Several ETMOOCers have expressed levels of fear and uncertainty about the course or an app, but I think the real source of fear is much deeper.…

For those educators who are connected online, or consider themselves to be part of a professional learning network or PLN, such learning opportunities present themselves with regular frequency.

The ID-CONSOLEID-CONSOLE is the "New flagship" by WK-AUDIO. Created in late 2009, the ID-CONSOLE substitute the well-known "ID-CONTROLLER" Hard- and software components are identical to the ID-CONTROLLER, but a well-known international product designer (www.deltaform.de) created an absolutely new chassis, and we replaced the encoder and rotary buttons as well as some key buttons. The result of this groundbreaking design update is a more professional and nice looking surface (o.k., we should have done this step some years before ….)ID-CONSOLE by WK AUDIO is one of the most advanced software controller available today. Developed in tandem with Steinberg's Media Production software NUENDO, ID-CONSOLE ensures unprecedented levels of integration. The unique versatility and advanced usability concept make ID-CONSOLE suitable for any audio work, including post production, music tracking, broadcast and sound design.Dedicated buttons for direct access to the groundbreaking NUENDO automation system as well as user definable layouts and function keys give access to just about any parameter within seconds. ID-CONSOLE will help you focus your attention where it belongs: on the audio you are recording, editing or mixing.The basic unit alone features a large amount of direct hardware controls. You can step through and assign the available individual NUENDO channels or channel banks to the available hardware motor faders and encoder dials.Using the optionally available Fader Modules, you can extend your direct control and access up to 96 channels at once.An Edit section with a jog dial, its built-in multifunctional ASCII keyboard and trackball, its master section with talk-back, phones, 3x fold-back and a control room with input and output matrix, speaker select and surround reduction keys, the direct plug-in access and the advanced channel selection features really make the ID-CONSOLE superior.Functions like Reverse and Expand set new standards in terms of workflow and usability. The intuitive Reverse mode allows the integrated keyboard to be used for functions such as track arming, Solo or Mute/CUT for channels 1 to 96, including optical controls. The stunningly effective Expand function instantly lays all channels belonging to a group on consecutive faders on the mixing surface, regardless of where they are located in the NUENDO project itself.
The ID-CONSOLE is made of premium hardware components. Precision engineered and hand-built in Germany, ID has been designed with absolute attention to detail, to give you not only full control but also absolute transparency in your project.
ID-CONSOLE is full compatible with Nuendo 6 (6.04 and higher) and Cubase 7 (version 7.04 and higher)
(ID-CONSOLE with 12 faders)
Direct and far-reaching control of the NUENDO audio recording software application from one central point.
100 mm ultra-quiet motorized faders
Direct access to the new ground-braking NUENDO automation system
New NUENDO software functions will be supported by future NUENDO versions.
Direct access to 24 signals with 12 faders and 12 encoders.
40 encoders for the channel section as well as 12 control room potentiometers
380 backlit keys, framed (10.000.000 key cycles)
53 large double-rowed LCD displays for instant feedback.
ASCII keyboard
Trackball, protected against dust and water (IP-65)
Weighted 60mm Jog dial for easy editing.
Channel Matrix.
Direct and total access to plug-ins
Load, edit and apply VST instruments and effects directly from the Controller.
Reverse Mode: the keys on the ASCII keyboard can be used as On/Off switches for the last selected function type on up to 96 channels.
Expand Mode: function instantly lays all channels belonging to a group on consecutive faders on the mixing surface, regardless of where they are located in the NUENDO project itself.
Talkback microphone and headphone preamp
Digital control room remote
Extensive, professional master section
Dedicated and freely assignable command buttons
Instant recall of Marker numbers 1 to 96
Edit Section offers comprehensive editing directly through ID-CONSOLE
Complete support for all Control Room functions with dedicated buttons and pots
32 channel LED meter-bridge (24 channel meters and 8 master section meters). Each meter has 30 segments
1 USB connector per unit.
Non-reflecting surface.
Chassis material: aluminium and steel metal support stand.
Expandable with up to three additional Fader packs to provide a maximum number of 96 directly accessible channels. Each additional Fader pack is basically a copy of the fader section in the basic unit. It also provides 12 large touch-sensitive motor faders, 39 encoder dials, 52 displays and a great number of different keys.
"One piece" armrest
First class build quality, precision engineered in Germany
Optional Motor-Joystick.
Optional stand.
Custom made solutions.

New LCD-Displays
The last step we decided to go is to implement new high-end 2x7 LCD displays, with more contrast and clarity. The second and nice effect is that we were able to create a new front panel design now - and the result is a more professional looking surface.Beginning at July 2010, we deliver ID-CONSOLE with these new fantastic displays.
