Picturing 19th Century Savannah, Ga
Sherman's headquarters while in Savannah, GA
This is an image By George Barnard looking west from Factor's Walk. Barnard had a practice of combining
interesting cloud formations with various landscapes to give the image an over all more appealing aesthetic.
Note the large size of the clouds and how they "bleed" into the land and river.
See what City Market looks like today and read about its history
A modern version of this image can be found at
There is an interesting story about the above image at
Henry McAlpin's 400-acre plantation was located on the Savannah River, just north of the city of Savannah–the heart
of a rice-growing region. McAlpin was one of the wealthiest men in the South. He didn't just rely only on crops for his
livelihood; he manufactured bricks, rice barrels, cast iron products and lumber, too.
Established about 1750, it was the original burial ground for the Christ Church Parish. The cemetery
was enlarged in 1789 to become the cemetery for people of all denominations. More than 700
victims of the 1820 Yellow Fever epidemic are buried in Colonial Park Cemetery. The cemetery was
already closed to burials before the start of the Civil War and no Confederate soldiers are buried there.
But the war did leave its mark on the cemetery. Federal troops took over the cemetery grounds
during their occupation of Savannah and many of the graves were looted and desecrated. It has
been said that Union soldiers changed the dates on many of the headstones.

Determining Earthquake Recurrence Intervals from Trench Logs
Patricia Cashman, University of Nevada-Reno
Trench logs of the San Andreas Fault at Pallett Creek, CA are the data base for a lab or homework assignment that teaches about relative dating, radiometric dating, fault recurrence intervals and the reasons for uncertainty in predicting geologic phenomena. Students are given a trench log that includes several fault strands and dated stratigraphic horizons. They estimate the times of faulting based on bracketing ages of faulted and unfaulted strata. They compile a table with the faulting events from the trench log and additional events recognized in nearby trenches, then calculate maximum, minimum and average earthquake recurrence intervals for the San Andreas Fault in this area. They conclude by making their own prediction for the timing of the next earthquake.

Vision To Visuals: A Moment In Time
Julian Lennon's personal and profound Timeless exhibition
Image from Julian Lennon's exhibition, Timeless
Lennon is truly passionate about photography. He carries his camera with him "99.9%" of the time. He shoots with a mix of Leica X1, Leica D-Lux 4, Canon EOS 5D Mark II cameras. He's particularly drawn to clouds, and his schedule naturally puts him close to his favorite view at 35,000 feet very frequently. "I rarely sleep on planes and have seen most movies available, and have always enjoyed dawn, dusk and clouds... So whenever I see something that looks beautiful, naturally, I'm drawn to taking a few pictures. I could honestly do a whole collection on clouds. There's a peace and a calmness. Up there, time stands still for a minute or two. It's a chance to breathe, to think for a moment, but also a time to dream and let go."
In an interview with Salon almost a decade ago, Lennon made a poignant comment on the success of the song "Hey Jude," that Paul McCartney wrote for him when he was five years old. He said, "A song written out of pure emotion always wins out. It wasn't necessarily a commercial song, by any standard. It was about a person and a life and a story." This deep understanding of "pure emotion" is precisely what underlies Lennon's work as a visual artist. Because he shoots with this emotion as his "lens," his photographs are infused with sentiment, not just technique. Timothy White describes one of his favorite photographs in the show, "Floating Clouds" as "soft and ethereal and otherworldly."
Judging from the compositions, nuanced tonality, beauty and symbolism in all his pictures, it's hard to imagine that photography isn't something Lennon was professionally trained in. He grew up painting and drawing but turned to photography as an "alternative way to capture ideas and images, or put thoughts and feeling into a visual medium." Responding to my curiosity about the influence of his musical sensibilities on his visual ones, Lennon said, "For me, it's about the pure essence of something you either hear or see. It's about the truth in many ways. Capturing a moment in time, a thought, a feeling, an emotion. It's translating one's thoughts, visions and feeling to others, in the hope that they may understand you and/or your world just that little bit more." This expression of "truth" holds the secret to Lennon's stunning photographs.
Walking through Duggal's behind-the-scenes processes that transform digital images into fine-art prints, Lennon was able to see the various printing options and substrate choices for his photographs. Choosing archi-val giclee prints at the end, he seemed happy to have connected with the production side of digital photography—"I never knew how complicated the process of printing professionally really was! To have to check and recheck until all aspects are just right. To test different paper for different themes/styles, etc. I guess I can relate musically to the process more than anything. It's a question of making sure all of the right elements come together, in just the right way, so that the final result is, hopefully, a thing of beauty. And without question, Duggal was one of those elements. It was a pleasure working with them, and hopefully we'll continue to do so in the years to come."

Surviving OCZ: More Than a Hard Drive Crash
OCZ Revenue data by
OCZ blamed weak PC sales and competition for the quarter's poor power supplies sales and profit.
OCZ's CEO Ryan Petersen stated, for the first quarter:
It's important to note that our power supply business is experiencing significant headwinds in terms of both revenue and gross margins, as sales of desktop PCs which use these products continue to dwindle. As such, our power supply revenue and gross margin during the quarter were well below our expectations.Insiders sold an abundance of shares in the previous six months. Insiders were not buying either, but with just over 8 million shares held by insiders, it's clear management does put their money into the company. I like to see management's and investors' interests aligned. With OCZ, management owns over 12% of the company stock.
MicronOCZ uses Micron Technology (MU) as a chip supplier. Reporting by either one can help investors get a better understanding on how the other may report.
Looking at Micron's chart it isn't a great surprise OCZ didn't light up the quarter, although the relationship is not totally linear.
MU data by YCharts
Based on my experience with gap downs following earnings misses similar to OCZ, investors will see short-term lows as soon as Friday. OCZ lost money again this quarter, but revenue continues to grow in a computer market that is very soft. Bargain hunters and short sellers covering positions could push the price up quickly in relation to the gap down price this week. Looking at the chart, I expect short-term resistance near $5 and again at $5.25. Round numbers often attract like a price magnet and repel, causing a bounce. Expect a lot of volume to trade near $4.50 a share, but also be prepared for bargain hunters to start positions under $4.25 as an entry. OCZ doesn't have debt (relative to the cash on hand) and the price-to-earnings multiple is not out of line for the growth rate and considering the amount of cash per share. OCZ Earnings Per Share data by YCharts
If you are looking for today's drop to signal a buying opportunity, you may wait until the end of this week. There is no hurry jumping on board with OCZ. Stocks dumping as a result of misses like this one take time for sellers to rotate out of and buyers to find value. Watch for the second break above $5 as the one that "sticks." OCZ competes against Intel (INTC), Seagate Technology PLC (STX) and Western Digital (WDC). WDC data by YCharts

Great idea! Count me in
My folks live in Leicester so a couple of us could bed down there. Or Birmingham is reachable from here in an our and a half but I couldn't drink [I don't mind tho' really ]
ok i know we have joked about it else where
but does anyone over one day in summer hols want to meetup for drink or two in first ever edugeek meetup.
I suggest somewhere in midlands as it most central place to everbody ok people in scotland sort rules you out (unless you want to make the trip) but looking at memebrship list we have fair number of us either in midlands or bording on the midlands..
Too throw some ideas on places could meet how about somewhere like derby, nottingham (only cause there close to me ) but if anyone else has got any suggestions then thow the on the table
So any takers...
You could call it personel development and get school to pay for it
Great idea! Count me in
My folks live in Leicester so a couple of us could bed down there. Or Birmingham is reachable from here in an our and a half but I couldn't drink [I don't mind tho' really ]
I'd luv a trip to scotland...
Fill out a cheap hotel....set up a lan party & general conference/meeting... cud be fun too
...just an idea.
But yeah, i'd like to have a "meet-up" (mark - u drving then? )
Well, I'm not promising anything, but I will look into the possibility of a future Edugeek meetup/"Schools IT Conference" in Elgin in the future. Wont be this year tho!
Hop on Nath!
ok if meetup in Leicestershire can probably use our ict rooms here..
with number of pubs near by for refreshment..
say probably as appying for new job at anothier school can you see it 'here's my notice can we hold a meetup inthe summer', or 'yes i accept the job can i use your ict room for a meetup' don;t think it would go down well. But if still here suspect i can book it out (just will not tell them about installing of software).
8O I hope you mean the car lolOriginally Posted by mark
*gross' himself out*
Yeah count me in let me know the place and when
Email me or message
Nice to see the the forums is going strong
I suggest Dover - lovely see views... Well... was worth a try 8O
How about Amsterdam!!
just asked the boss if they would pay airfair....
can't see why they wouldn't stingy gits..
lmao @ amsterdam lol
School paying for something they dont have to? You guy are too lucky lol :P
Maybe I'm just not demanding enough
My vote is for scotland - just coz I've never been there lol - or Leics perhaps....
Or you can come to wales lol
no school won;t pay for anything here but thought it worth a shot for the airfair....
but they said no...
have to be real wales and scotland I would not be able to attend just too far to travel..
Anyone been to train to lacanshire how long does it take to travel etc as would be willing if school that way wants to host it would be willing to travel...
Train from Leicester to Preston is about 2h30 to 3h with 1/2 stops.Originally Posted by russdev
We can host ... in October half-term if you want ... or spring half-term if October is too short notice. I have several rooms we can use.
Corby, Northants ... just round the corner from Rockingham Speedway.
What would people fancy ... just a day at the pub? Or actually having some hands on sessions with different machines ... proper workshops looking at some fun things?
Or maybe just a lan party (Quake 2 anyone?)

Lindsay Lohan's Canceled Sit-Down With Barbara Walters: 'She Shouldn't Be Doing Bad Interviews Right Now,' Says PR Expert Howard Bragman
Lindsay Lohan raised eyebrows for canceling her 20/20 interview with Barbara Walters, but pulling the plug on the esteemed journalist may not have been the worst decision in the world.
"So many times you think it's a bad move, but sometimes it can be worse to do an interview that you're not ready for," Howard Bragman, vice chairman of Reputation.com, told Celebuzz on Friday. "If I were Lindsay's publicist, I would be very cautious about how I used her, because I think she's got a lot of issues, and I don't think she's always a great interview."
"Lindsay is frankly not particularly good at handling adverse questions," he continued. "She's a girl who doesn't take responsibility for her own actions. Barbara Walters is a tough journalist. She's not going to give her a pass."
Bragman went on to say that this is well beyond a PR issue for Lohan, whose troubled behavior has plagued her career and life for almost a decade.
"I think people need to realize that she's got real life problems," he said. "She's got much bigger issues to contend with than whether or not she does a Barbara Walters interview.
"She's just using bad judgment and immaturity. It's like anybody with any kind of problem. Until that person realizes they have a problem, they're not gonna resolve it. It's really that simple."
Bragman also feels Lohan's decision to cancel the interview won't affect her already struggling career longterm.
"She's got a sucky image out there," he said. "One interview isn't going to make or break her. I'd rather her not do an interview than do a bad interview. This is a girl who shouldn't be doing bad interviews right now."
In October, it was reported that Lohan would sit down with Walters to discuss playing Elizabeth Taylor in the upcoming Lifetime biopic Liz & Dick. She canceled this week because she and her new PR team were "dissatisfied with the direction ABC wanted to take the interview," according to Deadline.

A sensor board coordinates data from two infrared controllers at 45° and 135° (angled to give some advanced data about the angle of the walls just in front of the robot). The sensor board also takes in data from a front-mounted sonar unit that tells the robot how far away the wall is (bumping a wall in the Trinity challenge is a penalty). Finally, there's a pair of line detectors pointing at the floor. These allow it to see the lines that mark the entrances to rooms, as well as the fire circle and the starting circle.Link
The last part of Larson's basic board kit is the CPU board, which pulls in data from the other boards, and spits out decisions to the motor.
Many of the decisions about what the sensors are seeing is farmed out to processors on the other boards, which come to an agreement using a subsumption architecture, the distributed decision-making architecture invented by Rodney Brooks in the 1980s. But at the top, the CPU board's Microchip PIC CPU (a 18F6621) uses a traditional maze-solving routine to map its way to the candle.
Robogames coverage
Library of Congress deletes whistle-blower's comments
I had assurances from the LoC that they had fixed this personal information disclosure. However, working with the folks at freeculture.org, it appears that their "solution" was to remove my comment document only (instead of a more general solution). Moreover, all the original unredacted files are available in the ZIP file they offer... which hasn't been updated.Link (Thanks, Joe!)
Man, doesn't anyone know someone at the LoC who can get things done? Well, I guess that's the price I pay for providing feedback (participation tax, I suppose).
Euro-RIAA justifies breaking iTunes, endorses fairy-tale of "open DRM"
To the degree that iTunes sells music based on proprietary barriers, this is not something that has happened with the recording industry's blessing and celebration. We are skeptical to this. This is a problem Apple has to solve." [...] "As far as I can see PyMusique does not violate the DRM system in iTunes, it only keeps the music away from the (iTunes) program.It's funny to see the European equivalent of the RIAA saying that Apple deserves to have its DRM broken, of course.
But the REALLY funny thing here is the nonsensical term "proprietary DRM." DRM is by definition proprietary. Even in the "standards bodies" where they are setting out DRM systems, these are not freely implementable -- instead, you have to go on bended knee before a cartel of studio executives and beg permission to have your implementation approved. Shipping an unapproved DRM is a one-way ticket to an anti-circumvention lawsuit.
Among the grounds for refusing to approve an "open DRM" is that you want to include an output to some other DRM that hasn't been approved -- if you build to a "DRM standard," you have to waive your right to contract with anyone building to different standard.
But it gets worse: say you get permission to include an output for some other DRM system that you think your customers want and use. If, at some time in the future, the cartel decides that the other DRM system is no good (say, because Jon Johansen has released OtherDRMMusique), they demand the right to force you to eliminate that DRM from your system -- even if you have a contract with that DRM provider promising to include it.
So you not only waive your right to contract up to the moment that you implement the "standard," but also for the indefinite future.
It's like a schoolyard friend who says, "If you want to be my pal, you have to promise not to talk to the goth kids -- only the jocks." So you end up in a study group with a bunch of jocks and your erstwhile friend says, "I hate jocks now. Stop hanging out with them. From now on, you have to hang out with the D&D nerds." When you protest that if you walk away from your study group you'll flunk out of school, your "friend" just shrugs and says, "I told you when I agreed to be your friend that this might happen. Tough."
Implement a DRM "standard" and be prepared to have your devices redesigned at regular intervals, to the whims of the most paranoid, power-drunk, technophobic executives in the world. Link (Thanks, Charlie!)
Interview with RFID implantee
BME: Now, who actually performed the implant procedure?Link (via Gizmodo)
AG: As I have not asked the doctor for permission to publish their name, I can't give that out, but they happen to be a cosmetic surgeon, so it seemed the natural choice. However, it was not hard to find someone to do the procedure; I have many MDs for clients and the day I got my chips, I asked two and both said they'd do it...
BME: Ideally, what sort of accessibility do you hope to see this implant give you in the future?
AG: Well, because I'm writing my own software and soldering up my own stuff, pretty much anything I want. Well, more accurately, anything I have the time and inspiration to do. Ultimately though, I think true keyless access will require an implantable chip with a very strong encryption system; right now I'm only looking at this type of thing in a personal context. As for society at large, nightclubs in Spain are already using RFID chips to let customers put drinks on their tabs and enter VIP lounge areas, and I think Australian pubs are doing the same as well. I'm not sure if they use encrypted implants or not. I was more interested in just getting something simple, cheap, and fun to play with.
Boring Boring: Awesome April Fools' parody of Boing Boing
Some anonymous geniuses whipped up this incredibly thorough parody of Boing Boing. I LOLed until my very eyeballs popped out. The detail is frightening (note the "Studious Girls" ads), as is the volume of witty, nuanced little references to actual crap we've blogged. To wit:
HOWTO: De-everybody Boring Boringand
Jason Gill says, "Someone has posted a script for GreaseMonkey (a Firefox extension that lets you add your own Javascript code to any website, to remove ads or add features) that automatically removes every post when viewing Boring Boring." We wish we had thought of that.
At last, an alternative to Firefox!Link to "Boring Boring: A Directory of Dull Things." Link to mirror, and Link to another (Thanks for the mirror, Sean). It's a masterpiece. Thanks, smartass(es)!
Firefox Alternative Chris James sez, "I got so tired of all the updates, lame plug-ins and the W3C evangelism of the Mozilla crowd that I've been looking around for an alternative to Firefox for quite some time. Finally, I've settled on a great free app called Internet Explorer -- and it looks like I'm not alone. According to my site stats, Explorer is running neck and neck with Firefox for marketshare. It's about time somebody gave those thugs at the Mozilla Foundation some competition." Link
Update: If you can't access either link, here's a partial screenshot: Link.
Sony to create "iTunes for movies," release 500 films digitally within a year
"We want to set business models, pricing models, distribution models like (Apple Computer CEO Steve) Jobs did for music, but for the film industry," [said Arrieta], "I'm trying to create the new 'anti-Napster."Link to ZDNet story. Previously on Boing Boing: The Cuban Revolution
To that end, Arrieta said, his group plans to digitize Sony Pictures' top 500 films and make them available for the first time in various digital environments within the next year. He said the distribution for films like "Spider-Man 2" will go beyond just Movielink, the video-on-demand joint venture of Sony Pictures and several other major studios, which to date has hosted a limited library of Sony's movies.
For example, Sony plans to sell and make films available in flash memory for mobile phones in the next year, Arrieta said. It also will further develop its digital stores for downloading and owning films on the PC, he said in an interview. Sony's plans--and similar moves by other studios--are likely to avoid empowering any one technology company--such as Apple in the music equation--and allow studios to pocket more of the profits. The philosophy in Hollywood is "Define your own agenda or someone else will for you."
Shirky: stupid (c) laws block me from publishing own work online
Welcome to the Copyfight. So, at Etech this year, I gave a talk entitled Ontology is Overrated. I want to put a transcript up online, and Mary Hodder, who recorded the talk, graciously agreed to give me a copy of the video.Boing Boing reader Thomas provides further evidence of unjust copyright cockblocking:
When she came by NYC last week, she dropped off a DVD, which I then wanted to convert to AVI (the format used by my transcription service.) I installed ffmpeg and tried to convert the material, at which point I got an error message which read "To comply with copyright laws, DVD device input is not allowed." Except, of course, there are no copyright laws at issue here, since I'M THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER.
Got that? I am in possession of a video, of me, shot by a friend, copied to a piece of physical media given to me as a gift. In the video, I am speaking words written by me, and for which I am the clear holder of the copyright. I am working with said video on a machine I own. Every modern legal judgment concerning copyright, from the Berne Convention to the Betamax case, is on my side. AND I CAN'T MAKE A COPY DIRECTLY FROM THE DEVICE. This is because copyright laws do not exist to defend the moral rights of copyright holders -- they exist to help enforce artificial scarcity.
Copyright holders in my position, who want to use Creative Commons licensing to share material, are treated as pathological cases, because we're not behaving in the extortionate manner that current regulations are designed to protect.
I've gotten the copy another way, and the transcript will go up, but this is the state of the world, circa 2005: I can be prevented from copying my own words from my own devices, precisely because I want to share them freely, a use the law is perfectly prepared to regard as irrelevant.
I have also found that when trying to take screenshots of DVDs (whoever holds the copyright) it is usually disabled by the OS. Similarly, if a miniDV device is asked to record a copyrighted DVD, it will not permit it, regardless of who tagged the disc and who is operating the miniDV device.d3 says:
The bullshit continues.
I was reading this bb post about Shirky being unable to copy his DVD content using ffmpeg. The software does prevent the user from copying directly from a DVD, but it is possible to copy the .vob files to the hard drive and then ffmpeg will happily convert the files. Personally, I prefer using DVDxDV, which is pretty much a one-click operation from DVD to a DV file. No copying of .vob files neccessary. Strangely, I was just dealing with this issue yesterday. Maybe this can help. I agree that it is ridiculous, but at least there are some people writing tools to help us out.Leland Johnson says:
The OS doesn't "permit" taking screenshots of DVDs because it's faster to do overlay rendering (direct communication with the video card). Some computers can't update their screens the normal way because it takes more CPU power. If you want to play videos/DVDs and take screenshots of them, the excellent and free Media Player Classic [link below] can be easily forced to never use overlay by selecting the output filter VMR9, which makes screenshots possible.Link BB reader daniel says:
If you're an os x user, snapz pro x will happily capture screens from a dvd (or anything else you like, in fact). LinkAnd M. Noel adds:
OS X users who don't want to pay for Snapz can take screencaps of DVDs by using the screencaputre shell (Terminal.app) command. It comes with the OS, so there's nothing to buy. I always type the command into a terminal, move the window as far offscreen as possible, and then press Enter to execute -- so you don't have to see much (if any) of the Terminal window.Link
Early bird syndrome linked to genetic mutation
"The net result is you can feel very isolated," (FASPS sufferer Susan) Middlebrook said. "Who wants to party at three in the morning? Nobody I know, and I'm not headed to the local bar to see who's still there." Instead, she quietly cleans the house, makes breakfast, or cuddles up with a book.Link
About three-tenths of a percent of the world's population lives like this, including two of Middlebrook's sisters, her daughter, and her mother. "Their whole clock is shifted," said Ying-Hui Fu, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco...
The researchers are not yet certain how the gene mutation works to shift people's sleep time. But laboratory experiments suggest mutation slows the activity of a protein called casein kinase I delta (CKIdelta). "The next step is to figure out why," Fu said.
Library of unusual materials
His collection now includes more than 300 samples, including artificial skin made of rubber composites, and a material known as a superslurper that absorbs 400 times its own weight in water....Link
Miodownik trawls the globe in search of additions to his collection. On a recent trip to Australia, he found himself in the remote uranium-mining town of Broken Hill in New South Wales. He started hunting through antique shops there to find a special type of glass.
Miodownik explains that in the early twentieth century people thought that radioactive materials had beneficial health properties. For this reason, they manufactured glassware containing uranium, especially in places such as Broken Hill that had an abundance of the element.
In the Australian antique shops, Miodownik flashed an ultraviolet light on various glass pieces to find one that glowed, a sign that it contained uranium. When he found a bowl that did just that (pictured here), he brought it back to London and added it to the library.
Schiavo parents to sell donor data to direct-marketing firm
The company, "Response Unlimited" pays about $150 a month for 6,000 names and $500 a month for 6,000 e-mail addresses.

707 panel as decorative lighting
This hangs on one wall of our living room, above the stairway that leads down to the garage. As you walk up the steps, you get this view.
My 707 has come a long way since I first found it at an aircraft scrapyard in Tucson. Here's a daylight view, shortly after I stripped off the paint. The illumination comes from rope lights mounted on the structurally-cool back side. (Next time you rest your head against a window-seat wall to snooze, this is basically what lies underneath.)
Wing Sings
The New Zealand-based performer's squeaky, ear-shredding rendition of "Dancing Queen" (Link: MP3) was featured in a South Park episode last week. I really need to get out on the internet more often, I don't know how I missed this -- Jesus, I just figured they'd made the character up.

Wearing John Malkovich: actor launches men's clothing line
John Malkovich, the renowned stage and screen actor, is also the designer of the Uncle Kimono clothing line -- and he will showcase his autumn/winter 2005-2006 men's wear collection at a trunk sale to be held at The Performing Garage (33 Wooster Street) in SoHo on Saturday, April 16, from 10am to 5pm. A percentage of the proceeds will benefit The Wooster Group.A few months ago I was out having sushi with some pals in West Hollywood, and a very dapper Mr. Malkovich sat down at an adjacent table with friends. He was dressed in an extremely funky-fresh outfit, so this news comes as no surprise. He is one stylin' guy. Link to news report, and here is John Malkovich's website. Site also includes some pretty cool t-shirts, like the one shown above, but yow -- they're $70 a pop. (via blogging.la)
(...) According to Malkovich, "Uncle Kimono is a men's wear collection that resonates with the late 1950s Californian beach boys, some Palm Springs Rat Pack, a touch of lounge lizard, and a recollection of a Swiss banker who's been let go."

Family Planning $ Needed
June 15, 1993
It happened again. Pennsylvania passed a budget with no state money for family planning services. There had been talk of a $1 million allocation - a mere sliver of a 414.5 million budget - and for each dollar we were going to spend on family planning programs, the savings in future costs were projected at $4.40. Yet there was nothing. For those of us who view family planning seriously, and see this as an issue beyond partisan politics, it is hard to imagine that the legislature has not taken responsible action in more than a decade.
Family Planning Funding Saves $$$!
May 7, 1993
An unintended pregnancy can't help but bring anguish and regret. An abortion or the birth of an unwanted child exacts a high emotional price. But misery can't be measured. Money can. The Alan Guttmacher Institute wanted to know: Does government money spent on family planning services for low-income women pay off? One out of four women in this country who use reversible contraceptives gets the birth control through publicly funded programs: a family planning clinic, or a doctor reimbursed by Medicaid.
Ridge Reneging On Family Planning
February 5, 1996
He didn't exactly do a George Bush and say, "Read my lips: state funds for family planning," but it was close. In 1994, candidate Tom Ridge made it plain he supported what his predecessor Robert P. Casey emphatically did not. If he were elected, Ridge said, Pennsylvania would rejoin 45 other states that fund family planning. This newspaper took him at his word, and so did lots of Pennsylvanians. And for one brief, shining moment in June, Gov. Ridge stood up to heavy pressure and kept to his promise.
Let's Focus On Family Planning
July 21, 1990
By DEBRA J. TRIONE
Last year a committee of pre-eminent American scientists published a list of global threats, of which overpopulation ranked second only to nuclear war. "Overpopulation?" mumbles a friend who has just stepped into the room. "Didn't we solve that problem a decade ago?" My friend knows we have environmental problems: global warming, deforestation, topsoil erosion, acid rain and the extinction of thousands of plant and animal species each year, just to name a few. But he is also among that class of otherwise well-informed individuals who have a hard time connecting the dots.
What Family Planning Really Means
April 9, 1993
Good Friday is an emotional time for those on both sides of the abortion rights issue - a time for fearsome demonstrations and responses. It is also an appropriate time to revisit the only realistic "common ground" on this explosive controversy: preventing abortions by preventing unintended pregnancies. Over the years, Pennsylvania has spent time and money to set up legal barriers to abortion through the Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act, generally upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court last summer - but not yet enforced.

Investing in You: When to take children off family cellphone plan?
November 16, 2014
By Erin E. Arvedlund, Inquirer Columnist
Negotiating with your adult children about whether they stay on the family cellphone plan? Yes, that requires an awkward conversation - even for those who work as financial counselors. "My husband and I have a cellphone account with Verizon," says Becky House, who works with a partner organization of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, a network of nonprofit community-based credit-counseling agencies. Since 2007, the family has had a plan that includes phones for two parents and four children.
DN Editorial: Sexy Casey at the bat
July 18, 2014
THIS WEEK, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey may have become the sexiest man alive. OK, maybe not literally, but we are betting that many women had very warm feelings toward him when he sponsored the Protect Women's Health from Corporate Interference Act. The bill was also known as the "Not My Boss' Business Act. " The bill would have made sure that for-profit CEOs cannot interfere in their employees' decisions about contraception and other health services....
Family Planning Council gets a new name and wider mission
June 11, 2014
By Marie McCullough, Inquirer Staff Writer
Forty years after the Family Planning Council of Southeastern Pennsylvania was created, it is working to reinvent itself, complete with a new name: AccessMatters. Executive director Melissa Weiler Gerber announced the rebranding Monday night at a news conference and cocktail party at the 1700 Market St. offices of the retitled council. The group administers public funding for reproductive health services in the region, channeling money to 25 providers - hospitals, health centers, and clinics - that serve more than 120,000 mostly low-income clients.
Family plans for autistic daughter's adult life
October 26, 2013
By Michaelle Bond, Inquirer Staff Writer
CHESTER SPRINGS - Like a typical mother, Marie Louise Ludwig was thrilled to hear her daughter, Stephanie, say the word Mommy. The fact that it happened when Stephanie, who is autistic, was 15, made the milestone even sweeter. "I think it's a word a lot of mothers take for granted," said Ludwig, who lives in Phoenixville with her husband, Andy, and Stephanie Keir, now 21. But Stephanie, who graduated in June from Devereux in West Chester, can't live with her parents forever.
Sideshow: Mom's mum on family planning
August 9, 2013
By Tirdad Derakhshani, Inquirer Staff Writer
If you ever find yourself hanging out with Jennifer Aniston , remember not to ask her if she's having kids with fiancé Justin Theroux . She's sick of all the questions. Jen tells ABC she's constantly asked how many boys and girls she wants. The way they ask, says Jen, implies they assume celebs have kids the way regular folk order burgers. "I didn't realize you could place orders! I honestly didn't realize it was like a drive-thru, that you could talk to a little electronic voice," says Jen. Anyway, there's been no time to make babies: Jen's been busy getting her bod in shape to play a stripper in her new pic, We're the Millers . "Honestly, it was the craziest workout," she says of her first ever role as a stripper - "at least . . . in film," Jen teases.
Southeast Pa. Family Planning Council wins grant renewal
June 28, 2013
By Marie McCullough, Inquirer Staff Writer
Beating out a challenger, the Family Planning Council of Southeastern Pennsylvania has won renewal of the federal grant that has been its lifeblood for 42 years. Melissa Weiler Gerber, the council's executive director, announced the three-year, $15.7 million award in an e-mail to the 26 hospitals, health centers, and clinics that will use the money to provide birth control, STD tests, and breast exams. "We are honored to be able to continue our work together through this lifesaving, life-changing program that has been a cornerstone of the Family Planning Council's reproductive and sexual health work for over 40 years," Gerber wrote.
Family plan services funds still at stake
June 19, 2013
By Andrew Kitchenman, NJ SPOTLIGHT
Expanded family planning services are at stake again this year as New Jersey's Assembly Budget Committee has advanced two bills that Gov. Christie will likely veto. One would provide $7.45 million for family planning services, while the other would expand Medicaid coverage for family planning to women who are not pregnant. Democrats proposed similar bills after Christie eliminated family planning funding and withdrew an application to expand Medicaid coverage in 2010. Christie then vetoed that legislation.
DN Editorial: OTHER VICTIMS: Don't let Gosnell reduce family-planning options for the pregnant poor
May 15, 2013
WITH three first-degree murder verdicts against Kermit Gosnell, we can call him a baby-killer without the political freight that that term usually carries in the fight over abortion rights. There was no ambiguity in his actions, no debate over when a fetus becomes viable when he performed his illegal late-term abortions of some babies who were born alive. No one would defend his actions as legal, or protected by Roe v. Wade. The verdict may bring to a close the gruesome and horrifying details of Gosnell's butchery practice.
Leadership rivalry spices up family planning grant application
February 20, 2013
By Marie McCullough, Inquirer Staff Writer
When Melissa Weiler Gerber became executive director of the Family Planning Council of Southeastern Pennsylvania in 2010, she called it "a challenging time. " The nonprofit council - which administers public funding for reproductive health services in the region - was operating in the red. Nationally, family planning funding was under renewed political attack. And Gerber, 45, was following a tough act: Dorothy Mann, 71, known during her 33-year tenure for her vision and brash style.
Karen Heller: The Friends & Family plan at Philadelphia Traffic Court
November 29, 2012
By Karen Heller, Inquirer Columnist
Greetings, unwitting general public! Did you realize there's a "two-track system of justice" at Philadelphia Traffic Court, according to an investigative report commissioned by Pennsylvania Chief Justice Ronald Castille, "one for the politically connected and another for the unwitting general public"? That would be us, the clueless, ticket-paying schmoes without access to our Democratic ward leader's cell. The report, required reading for anyone who still believes in fairness, justice, or Santa Claus, shows that ticket-fixing was rampant at the patronage swamp, involving at least seven judges and much of the staff, who offered a generous Friends and Family plan to the region's most politically connected.

Digital Planner 220.127.116.11
Clean feature lineup
There's not much to brag about the user interface, as it embeds only a few configuration settings to tinker with.
The tool gives you the possibility to browse throughout the built-in calendar, view four months displayed in the primary panel, as well as go to the previous or next four months.
Setting up a new task
Digital Planner comes packed with basic features for helping you create a brand-new task. You are allowed to enter a user-defined text message in the main window or paste the information from other third-party tools.
What's more, you can make the program reveal all user-defined tasks and search for a specific task by selecting the desired day. Additionally, the tool lets you select the saving directory and delete all saved tasks with just one click.
On the downside, you cannot set priorities, assign different colors to each task, so you can easily differentiate them, enable audio notifications, export the information to a plain text file, and set up recurrence parameters.
Bottom line
To sum things up, Digital Planner proves to be a simplistic piece of software that comprises limited features for helping you create tasks. It is suitable especially for less experienced users who need to get used to working with a basic virtual task assistant before switching to a rich-featured one.

Researchers are studying human genomic diversity using biological samples from several indigenous tribes in Southern Africa Zulu, Xhosa, Herero, San and Sotho-Tswana. Although this study does not look at disease genes per se, it will provide data on baseline variation across these populations.
The South African government is also considering a proposal for a national genomic medicine research programme with three components: characterization of human genomic variation within the South African populations, identification of the genomic basis of susceptibility to common diseases (both chronic and infectious) and pharmacogenomics.
"Genomic sovereignty"
Mexico recently enacted genomic sovereignty legislation in response to reports of foreign researchers attempting to obtain blood samples from Mexican subjects, including indigenous groups, without official approval. This "safari research" fuelled concerns that neither the research participants nor the general Mexican population would benefit from such research.
In India, guidelines restrict the export of human samples. They were created amid similar worries about foreign exploitation of India's large population resource, with its multi-generational endogamous families and well maintained genealogical records.
One fifth of the global population lives in India and thus a significant amount of human genomic variation can be found there among its various populations.
Many of those took part in the study noted the delicate balancing act required to protect genomic sovereignty while fostering international collaborations that can provide much needed financing and potentially contribute to local scientific capacity building.
The concluding paper in the series was co-authored by the MRC

OK, that alone will cause him big problems. You lose the Jewish vote, you suffer.
He's not coming from any religious slant, mind you. In fact, he's brave enough to openly run as an atheist (bye bye, Christians). He is calling to tighten immigration standards (liberals, farewell). And he's stumping to end the embargo on Castro (hasta la vista, Cubanos).
He believes strongly in the development of alternative and renewable energy sources. He supports steep oil and gas taxes to discourage consumption and believes in extensive national conservation and energy policies to free us from our dependence on the Arabs, help the world toward a path of peace, and clean up the environment (so much for an endorsement from big business).
Naturally, Xuna hasn't raised much money. In fact, he's received only three contributions, none from his district: A retired teacher from Miami gave him $200, a California "humanist" donated $100, and a Missouri atheist coughed up a $20 check.
So he has funded his campaign with about $25,000 of his own money. Although successful in business, Xuna, the father of three grown sons and a three-year-old daughter, is far from rich. So he and his second wife, Mona, are trying to sell her oil paintings on the Internet to raise more campaign funds. He recently held two auctions on E-bay but failed to unload a single piece. The money is running out, and he says he'll soon need to seek employment.
Compare this struggle to Shaw's efforts, which have raised $1.4 million, and he has spent nearly $25,000 of it on travel expenses and various reimbursements -- for his wife, Emilie. Shaw's campaign shelled out $58,617 for a Cheney fundraiser in April -- including $825 for flowers. It paid off, though, as Shaw pimped Cheney out for some $500,000 in one day. Welcome to big-time Republican politics. The only thing missing from his expenditure list is a $6000 shower curtain.
These things frustrate Xuna. Democracy isn't working. The newspapers virtually ignore him, and the routine political venues -- speeches to various groups and clubs -- are a waste of time. "I was hoping to do 20 or 30 debates, but there are no debates," he complains. "I receive invitations, and you have 30 people there, and you get two or three minutes to talk. What can you do in two minutes? Nothing. You are the first journalist to call me and ask about my positions.... It's money, only money. No issues. It is unbelievable."
Xuna is a thinker and a dreamer -- not a natural politician. He's keenly self-conscious about his accent and, though he is fluent in English (and three other languages), he thinks in Spanish, and his tongue can't always find the right translation. He's not what you'd call charismatic, and he wouldn't know a good sound bite if one bit him on the ass. He leaves the tricky rhetoric to the president, who constantly refers to his coming act of aggression as a way to "secure the peace" and plays on our fears to support his war.
"Since we are unable to get peace in the Middle East, [Bush] is trying to distract Americans to show that we are doing something," Xuna says. "Saddam Hussein is a danger to society, but going into a war with Iraq is extremely dangerous -- not only to our soldiers but to a lot of people in the Middle East. We have to clean up our act in the Middle East and not jump into a war."
He's the only local politician out there making that stand. And that's why he has my vote in November. If you oppose this war, he should get yours too.
