IMDA Sets Standards for Internet Radios
A trade group in Europe sees a bright future in Internet radio appliances, providing device manufacturers and webcasters work together to ensure compliance with common standards. As a first step, the recently minted Internet Media Device Alliance has called a press conference on Sept. 6 at the IFA 2009 Consumer Electronics Exhibition in Berlin, where it will unveil a standards baseline designed to harmonize the burgeoning field of stand-alone Internet Radio devices.
IMDA's IFA Summit will follow the press conference, where the future of Internet connected media devices will be examined in a series of podium discussions.
Launched earlier this year, the IMDA is committed to developing and promoting open, interoperable standards and profiles for Internet media devices. IMDA steering committee member organizations include Awox, BBC, Deutsche Welle, the European Broadcasting Union, Frontier Silicon, Global Radio, Pure, Reciva, SWR and vTuner.

Whatever Happened to Helping the Poor?
by Abigail Knowles Wolfe (BPRW)
It is fascinating and disturbing, both, to note that the Bush-era has been defined by the agendas of the religious right and so-called evangelical Christians, yet I ask where do the poor fit into this equation? The utter failure of federal relief efforts to meet the needs of Hurricane Katrina survivors has penetrated this nation's consciousness and invoking shear outrage in many citizens of this country. Picture President George W. Bush with his bullhorn at the site of demolished World Trade Center towers after September 11th, 2001 then remember his eventual and hesitant visit to devastated New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina. The implications are heartbreaking.
Right wing religious groups such as The Center for Reclaiming America and The Christian Coalition spend millions of dollars lobbying Congress about pro-life and anti gay marriage issues yet never bring up social justice issues for the poor, one of Jesus Christ's only agendas. Global warming, lack of health care coverage for millions and starving children living in our first-world nation are also not issues for these predominantly white, upper-middle class "Christian" organizations.
Right wing Christian conservatives argue that Biblical scripture speaks more directly to pro-life and marriage issues than to pressing issues such as global warming and poverty yet I find a major lapse in logic here. Jesus spoke a great deal about the rights of the poor and the meek inheriting the earth. He cared more, in fact, about the rights of the poor and the disenfranchised than he did about anything else.
"Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.'"
-Matthew 19:23-24
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."
-Proverbs 31:8-9
"Jesus answered, 'If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.'"
-Matthew 19:21
"He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished."
-Proverbs 17:5
"If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered."
-Proverbs 21:13
Deamonte Driver, a 12-year-old African-American child from Maryland, died recently from complications of a dental infection for which his mother could not find treatment over a period of seven months. The boy's family is insured by Medicaid, however, the health department of Prince George's County lists only 50 dentists willing to treat the approximately 50,000 children with Medicaid in that county alone. What would the religious right have to tell Alyce Driver, a mother grieving a needless death because she could not find timely dental care for her child in one of the wealthiest countries on earth? My guess is that they probably wouldn't care to comment. Deamonte Driver wouldn't fit into their agenda.

July 2008: Vol. 3, Issue 7
Contributor: Kellie Meyer
As part of our effort to address the needs of people with mental illnesses involved in the criminal justice system, NAMI Indiana has developed a 10-hour program to educate correctional officers about mental illness and provide them with practical skills for working with people with mental illnesses. By teaching correctional staff about mental illness, we prepare them to better understand and more effectively
The training has improved working and living conditions tremendously for both correctional staff and for inmates living with mental illnesses. Use of force by correctional officers who were trained has decreased by as much as 70%.
We chose a team of outstanding experts in the field of criminal justice, and collaborated with
Our training curriculum includes modules on: "The Categories of Mental Illness"; "The Biological Basis of Mental Illness"; "The Treatment of Mental Illness"; "Interacting With Persons With Mental Illness"; and "Criminal Justice & Mental Illness: Principles and Applications, A New Beginning." While the first four modules provide officers with vital information and education, the last module is an interactive session that allows participants to apply their new knowledge to scenarios from the workplace. We work with the officers to develop and practice the tools they need to more effectively
One of the most important aspects of the correctional training is the effort we put into customizing the program for each setting. While overall education and awareness about mental illness has been extremely helpful in all settings, understanding the protocols of each respective agency helps us to ensure that what we are teaching is relevant to the officers. We work with veteran officers at each facility to find out what procedures they currently follow, and what needs they see. Rather than simply educating, we strive to help them develop tools they can use in every day practice. We also work to ensure that the officers feel they can continue to put their safety first; if the officer does not feel safe, no one else will either.
Why Not CIT?
The training course outlined was designed for maximum security prisons. While the training shares many of the same verbal de-escalation skills that are emphasized in CIT, in a corrections setting it is important to teach officers how to assess symptoms over time and build effective rapport with people with mental illnesses in custody. This training better equips the officers to make those assessments by recognizing certain symptoms and by developing a basic knowledge of the patterns of behaviors associated with the various mental illnesses. On the street, in a crisis situation, the officer is walking into the unknown, and often will never see the person again. In a corrections environment, officers have to build rapport in order to work effectively and safely with individuals with mental illness.

On June 19, 2008, the Supreme Court of the
In July, 1999, Ahmad Edwards was discovered trying to steal a pair of shoes from an
In June, 2005, Edwards stood trial. He asked to represent himself but the trial court rejected this request and the jury found him guilty of criminal recklessness and theft but failed to reach a verdict on the charges of attempted murder and battery. The State decided to retry him on the attempted murder and battery charges and he was retried in December, 2005. The trial court again found that he was competent to stand trial but not competent to represent himself. Despite being represented by counsel at his retrial, the jury convicted him on both counts.
Edwards appealed, arguing that he had been wrongfully deprived of his constitutional right to represent himself. The case eventually reached the Supreme Court, which addressed the legal question of whether the standard for allowing defendants to represent themselves at trial should be higher than the standard for finding defendants competent to stand trial.
In the Edwards decision, the Supreme Court held that defendants determined competent to stand trial are not necessarily competent to represent themselves at trial. Historically, courts have applied an extremely low standard for finding defendants competent to stand trial, requiring simply that they understand the nature of the charges against them and are capable of consulting with their attorneys with "a reasonable degree of rational understanding."
According to the Edwards decision, a higher degree of competence is required to engage in self-representation at trial, including "organization of defense, making motions, arguing points of law, … questioning witnesses and addressing the court and jury."
The Court specifically cited two factors in reaching its decision. First, the Court emphasized the fluctuating nature and severity of mental illnesses, which can significantly interfere with the ability of a defendant to mount an effective legal defense over a period of time.
Second, the Court expressed concern that allowing defendants with questionable capacity to represent themselves at trial does not ultimately protect the civil rights of those individuals but rather "threatens an improper conviction or sentence" and "undercuts the most basic of the Constitutions criminal law objectives, providing a fair trial."
The Supreme Court stopped short of defining the criteria that trial courts should use in determining the competency of defendants to represent themselves at trial, stating that trial court judges are better able to make those determinations, taking into consideration "the individualized circumstances of a particular defendant."
The Court's decision will help ensure more fairness in cases in which defendants with severe mental illnesses seek to waive a defense or represent themselves at trial. It is not un
NAMI has been particularly concerned in recent years about criminal defendants being allowed to represent themselves at trial despite evidence of delusions and other symptoms of psychosis. The right to waive counsel and represent oneself at trial is a fundamental constitutional right if the decision is made knowingly and rationally. However, in cases when an individual is experiencing symptoms of psychosis, this decision may not be knowing and rational.
A recent and highly publicized case illustrates the wisdom of the Supreme Court's decision. Scott Panetti was allowed to fire his attorneys and represent himself at trial despite a long history and active symptoms of schizophrenia. He fired his attorneys because they wanted to assert an insanity defense which would have required entering evidence of his mental illness into the record. At trial, Panetti sought subpoenas on John F. Kennedy and Jesus Christ. He wore a cowboy outfit, sang cowboy songs, spoke in incoherent sentences, and asked irrational questions of witnesses. He was convicted and sentenced to death. Under the new standard articulated by the Supreme Court in Indiana v. Edwards, it is unlikely that a defendant such as Panetti would have been permitted to represent himself.
Many have argued that the standard used for determining competency to stand trial is too low and does not reflect current understanding of serious mental illnesses and their potential impact on rationality and cognition. However, the decision in this case will not impact on these determinations. Re-consideration of the standards used for evaluating competency to stand trial will have to wait for another day.
A report released in June by the Department of Justice finds that "there is no conclusive medical evidence…that indicates a high risk of serious injury or death from the direct effects of CED [conducted energy device] exposure." The study is the interim report of an Office of Justice Programs panel on the "Study of Deaths Following Electro Muscular Disruption." The panel reports that individuals who experience so-called "excited delirium," a condition characterized by psychosis, agitation and high body temperature, may die from that condition and not necessarily as a result of the use of a CED, such as a Taser. The authors report that the safety of CEDs has not been studied in sensitive populations such as children, the elderly, pregnant women and those with heart disease. They also note that there have been some reports of deaths following continuous or repeated CED application, and that there is little data on the safety of repeated or continuous use of CEDs.
NAMI's recently released policy on Application of Less Lethal Weapons is available online (see Section 8.9).
The NAMI national convention in June featured a variety of speakers and workshops focused on criminal justice issues. Many of these presentations are now available on the NAMI website for download, free of charge. Presentations that may be of particular interest to CIT in Actionreaders include:

text: By Katelyn Gendron Reminder Assistant Editor Michael Hamblin of Worcester was a model child an honor student, an outdoorsman and a loving son and brother up until high school. At the age of 19, he went from a loving home to living on the streets of Boston, addicted to heroin. He entered into numerous rehabilitation programs before being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in July 2005. On March 4, 2006, at the age of 23, Michael died at home with his family, unable to realize his dream of becoming a substance abuse counselor. He wanted to earn his certification within the Addiction Counselor Education (ACE) program at Westfield State College (WSC). In honor of her brother, Melinda Hamblin founded a scholarship for WSC students within the ACE program in Michael's name. This year, Nafeeza Lexington of Hadley and Jeffrey Earls of Amherst each received a $1,000 Michael C. Hamblin Scholarship. "It's our way to keep Michael's memory alive through the education of others," Michael's mother, Judy Hamblin of East Longmeadow, said. "This scholarship will help better the life of another young person and hopefully inspire others." She attributed her son's desire to become an addiction counselor to his time spent at the Opportunity House in Springfield. "Mikey was in many rehabs trying to get straight," Judy explained. "He said the Opportunity House was the only one that saw beyond the addiction. He said they saw him and gave him hope. He wanted to do that for others." She said he was particularly concerned about rehabilitation of addicts fighting terminal illness. "He started with pot, which I thought wasn't good, but I never thought it would lead to heroin," Judy recalled. "I need people to understand that this could happen to their child." She explained that when Michael was kicked out of a Boston rehab she knew she had to stop permitting his habit. It was during this cold winter that Michael began living on the streets. "I enabled it for a long time," Judy said. "I would take responsibility for his problems. I think every parent does when their kids fail in life ... I had to do the tough love thing ... [Addicts] have to hit bottom before they help themselves." She explained that the stigma of drug addiction prevents opportunities for those wanting to better themselves and make it in the world. Judy said she hopes this scholarship will lend hope to those recipients who have struggled with addiction. "[It's] a really incredible story to hear and [comforting] how dedicated [the Hamblins] are to future counselors," Lexington said. "It was an honor to get that [scholarship] from them." Earls said he chose to become an addiction counselor because he "believes he can help people." "The greatest part of this is the people who receive the [scholarship] money will be helping people with addiction problems and that will help Michael's legacy live on," he said. Judy said she and her two daughters will continue the annual scholarship as long as there are those willing participate in the fundraising efforts.

The NFL is no stranger to trouble. Its athletes have made headlines for shooting themselves in the foot, running dogfights, and all-too-many drug charges and strip club fights. But in the past two weeks, the sport has buried two of its own and the reasons – homicide, suicide, manslaughter – are much worse than the game has dealt with before.
For the past two Sundays, hundreds of thousands of screaming fans have been asked to observe a few for moments of silence to mark the deaths of two NFL players.
On December 1, 2012, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, 25, shot his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins, 22, in the home they shared with their 3-month-old daugher Zoey. Then he drove to the team's practice facility at Arrowhead Stadium, where he thanked his coaches for the opportunity to play pro ball. Then he walked back to his car and shot himself in front of those team officials. The Chiefs voted to go on and play their regularly scheduled game against the Carolina Panthers the next day in the very same stadium.
A week later on December 8, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Jerry Brown Jr., 25, was killed in an auto accident – and his friend and teammate defensive lineman Joshua Brent, 24, was arrested for intoxication manslaughter for the fatal accident (see the Irving Police Information Release below). Brent was speeding through Irving, Texas, when his Mercedes hit a curb and flipped upside-down and caught fire. Brent escaped injury, but might not be so lucky in the criminal justice system. His blood-alcohol level tested at .18 – more than twice the legal limit – and his charges carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. Less than 24 hours later, the Cowboys took the field in Cincinnati for a game against the Bengals – without Brown and Brent.
In the aftermath of the deaths, more information has leaked out about Belcher and Brent – although some questions might never be answered.
Jovan Belcher's whereabouts in the hours before the murder/suicide have been reported in the subsequent weeks. Belcher spent his Friday night partying in a hip area of Kansas City and then drove to an alleged girlfriend's home. Kansas City Police revealed that officers had found Belcher sleeping in his Bentley outside that woman's apartment building at 3:05 a.m. – just a few hours before he killed Perkins.
In a dashboard cam video, police rouse Belcher who tells them his girlfriend lives inside. Belcher makes a phone call at the policemen's request – and a woman lets him in. Witnesses say Belcher left at around 6:30 a.m., when he returned to his home and fought with Perkins, ultimately killing her. The 911 call that alerted police to the shooting was made by Belcher's mother Cheryl Shephard, who was in town to help take care of the baby. "She's still breathing but please hurry," she told the dispatcher, "They were arguing, please hurry." By the time police arrived at the home at 7:50 a.m., Belcher had left for Arrowhead Stadium where he would take his own life.
The last night of Jerry Brown Jr's life also started off with high-life partying. Brown, who was soon to be a father himself, went partying with good-friend Brent and other Cowboys teammates at a Dalls-area VIP club called Privae. Brent, who had been jailed for DUI once before in Illinois, flipped his car at around 2 a.m. Brent would later tell reporters: "My best friend died, and I'm trying to deal with that." But a witness at the scene told the Dallas Morning News that she heard Brown screaming from the fiery wreck and that Brent wouldn't help, "Jerry was alive. He was hurt. He was calling out and his own friend walked away," Stacee Williams recalled.
Brent's first court appearance has yet to be scheduled, but he was released from jail the next day on $500,000 bail – in time to attend Brown's memorial service. Brown's father told reporters that his son would not want Brent to go to jail. "I'm not mad about him," Jerry Brown said of Brent. "I know that was his best friend, and he's hurting. He's hurting more than I am hurting. But I am hurt, too."
Belcher's funeral was held on Wednesday near his Long Island hometown. It was bittersweet send-off for a well-loved young man who had become a professional football player and a loving father – but a man who ended it all for reasons yet to be discovered. The ceremony featured a photo slideshow ending with the words "In Loving Memory" of Belcher and Perkins – and a series of photos of Zoey with this message: "Keep this little girl in your prayers." Although it is of little consolation for losing her parents, the NFL will support Zoey with more than $1 million in benefits under the league's collective bargaining agreement with its players.
In an NFL season that began with negative headlines over an alleged bounty program in which players tried to gravely injure opposing players on the field, the focus for league officials has shifted off the gridiron.
League commissioner Roger Goodell told CBS Sports that the league intends to face its off-the-field problems head-on: "We are going to do some things to combat this problem because some of the numbers on DUIs and domestic violence are going up and that disturbs me. When there's a pattern of mistakes, something has got to change."
The league already has in place a number of counseling options for players, and ongoing seminars on topics like gun safety, alcohol and drug use. One program which could have altered the futures of those two Dallas Cowboys is the NFL Players' Association Safe Ride system, which provides designated drivers or car-rides to any player who asks.
John Glavin, CEO of Corporate Security Solutions Inc., which runs the Safe Ride program, says he can only help when a player reaches out for help. As Galvin told the AP: "We can't make them make the phone call."

Francisco Tarrega (1852 - 1909)
The history of the modern classic guitar is closely associated with Francisco Tarrega, master guitarist and teacher.
He was born November 21,1852, at Villareal, Castellon , Spain , and died December 5, 1909, in Barcelona . It has been said that he was a man with a genial personality, an extraordinary intelligence, and that his genius was equaled only by his modesty.
During his lifetime, Tarrega suffered from an incurable and painful chronic eye disease called ophthalmia. This was caused from being pushed into a polluted steam when he was a child by a vicious nursemaid. Tarrega nearly drowned during the incident, which seriously impaired his eyesight and in later years caused him to be reluctant to give public concerts. He was much more content to play for a select group of friends and pupils.
When Tarrega was but 11 years old, he performed a guitar concerto by Julian Arcas. This would indicate, of course, that he was a child prodigy. His early musical training was received from local musicians, including a blind guitarist and a blind pianist. In 1874, at the age of 22, he entered the Madrid Conservatoire of Music as a student of piano and harmony. The following year he was a warded the first prize for harmony and composition.
Upon the completion of his studies at the Madrid Conservatoire of Music, Tarrega commenced his career as teacher of classical guitar.
From then on his life was devoted to his art, both as teacher and composer. His original compositions and transcriptions of the classic masters reveal his marvelous insight into the resources of the guitar and its technical possibilities. In the ensuing years, he taught many pupils who acquired fame.
Tarrega wrote many studies and preludes for the guitar. Some were, of course, designed as teaching material and emphasize certain technical aspects as they relate to the guitar. Most of these compositions are characterized by ingenious fingering, particularly of the left hand.
Some of Tarrega's greatest contributions to the modern guitar repertoire are his masterly transcriptions of music by Classic and Romantic composers. The list is long and includes such greats as Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin, and Albéniz.
Tarrega transcribed several of the Chopin preludes for guitar, and the following is one of the most beautiful.
Spain is justly proud of its native son, Francisco Terraga. In 1916 a monument was erected in his memory in the public park of Villareal . On a house in the Plaza Pascual is a plaque with the following inscription: "In this house was born on November 21, 1852 to the honor and glory of Villareal, the eminent guitarist Francisco Tarrega".
In Villareal, Castellon, and Barcelona , streets have been named after him as a daily reminder and lasting tribute to this great man. Top
Emilio Pujol , one of Tarrega's outstanding pupils, described a day in the life of the master as something like this:
"Each morning, after dressing, he would light up a cigarillo, after which he would seat himself in a corner of the dining room, tune his guitar, and begin the day's practice with some exercises and improvisations. Breakfast would interrupt the practicing, but soon it would be resumed with an hour on chromatic scales, diatonic scales in thirds end sixths, followed by an hour of arpeggios, then an hour on runs and trills, followed by an hour or two on difficult passages. The time after lunch was reserved for writing music. Toward evening, friends and aficionados would come to hear him play. Then at night, when everyone else in the house was asleep, he would play for himself".
It was Terraga who perfected the playing position of the right hand. Previously, guitarists had persisted in resting the littler finger on the soundboard for support, employing mostly the thumb, index, and middle finger for sounding the strings. Tarrega did not rest the little finger on the soundboard, but held the hand perpendicular to the strings, which automatically brought the ring finger over the strings, making many more fingering combinations possible. Top
Joseph Fernando Sor (1778-1839)
One of the most renowned guitars and composers for the guitar during the latter part of the 18 th century and the beginning of the 19 th was Fernando Sor.
Sor was not only a guitar virtuoso of first rank, but also a thoroughly schooled musician in harmony, counterpoint, and composition, as well. So impressive were his talents that Fétis, the leading music critic of the time, always referred to Sor as "the Beethoven of the guitar."
Sor's first music lessons were on the violin, followed by further study on the cello. His progress was rapid, and before long he was placed in one of the monasteries in Barcelona , his native city. There he received a good general education, which included instruction in harmony and composition. During this time, he became intensely interested in the guitar and worked diligently to improve and perfect his playing.
When Sor was 16 years old, he left the monastery in Barcelona . It is said that he was an excellent student and that his teachers were proud of him.
After leaving the monastery, Sor joined an itinerant Italian Opera Company. This afforded him an opportunity to put his musical knowledge to practical use. But when 17 he wrote an opera that was performed successfully in Barcelona . Other performances were given in Venice and London .
In 1800 Sor, at the age of 22, joined the Spanish army because of war with Portugal and served for sometime as a captain. Later he was compelled to take refuge in France with the adherents of King Joseph Bonaparte.
In Paris , Sor soon became acquainted with some of the leading musicians of the French capital, who in return prevailed upon him to devote himself to his art again.
In 1809 Sor took up residence in London . Because of wars affecting his own country, Portugal , and France , he was actually a Spanish refugee.
England welcomed Sor with great enthusiasm. The guitar was new to that country and Sor's extraordinary skill on the instrument created a furor in London . At last the master could settle down and devote his life on his art.
Sor considered the study of thirds and sixths indispensable to the mastery of the guitar. In his method he says: "it is my assertion that the complete mastery of the guitar, as an instrument of harmony, consist of a thorough knowledge of thirds and sixths."
Sor was pleased with his reception, at the age of 31, we find him giving concerts, writing music, and establishing himself as a fashionable teacher. England would be his home for about the next 25 years. There he spent the most successful and profitable part of his career. It should be mentioned that Sor was the only guitar soloist ever to be invited to play at the royal philharmonic concert in London - a high tribute indeed. Top
Of Sor's concert studies for the guitar, is one of particular beauty. Though it requires frequent grade barres, it is less difficult than most of the other studios he wrote for the more advanced performer. The tempo should not be too strict. The metronome marking suggests only a general speed. A little rubato here and there is permissible.
Ferdinando Carulli (1770 - 1841)
Is one of the most famous of the old masters of the guitar.
He also has the distinction of being born the same year as Beethoven --- 1770.
Carulli must have been a remarkable guitar virtuoso. It was said that the command he possessed over his instrument was so extraordinary that never for an instant was he hesitant in the execution of the most difficult passages, regardless of their nature.
In 1810 Carulli wrote his Method for Guitar, which he dedicated to his 9-year-old son, "Gustave".
The book was an immediate success and was reprinted many times. As the son grew older, he became a fine musician in his own right as a highly gifted singing-master and composer.
Carulli was a versatile musician. Besides the instructional material we associate whit his name, he wrote a book entitled Harmony Applied to the Guitar and another called Vocal
Exercises or solféges with Guitar Accompaniment .
He also wrote a number of sonatas for solo guitar; each consisting of a slow movement usually followed by a rondo.
Like most great guitarist, Carulli was on friendly terms with some of the finest guitar markers of the day. One was Locate of Paris . He constructed several of the guitars that were designed by Carulli himself.
Carulli bequeathed his guitar to the National Conservatoire of Music in Paris .
It is a beautiful instrument made of figured rosewood and inlaid around the edges with ivory and ebony. Top
His name is one most familiar to students of the classical guitar because of his method and excellent studies for the instrument.
Italy has always been pre-eminent for its virtuosity and composers for the guitar. In addition to Carcassi, others who come to mind include Carulli, Giuliani, Legnani, Boccherini, and Paganini, the famous violin virtuoso. Top
He was not a voluminous composer, but his published works proclaim his greatness. These are, for the most part, didactic in nature and very useful to the student who is far advanced.
Around the year 1835, while Aguado was in Paris , he met Fernando Sor, a guitarist equally as famous as himself. The two become great friends, often playing guitar duets together. Top
The famous Italian guitar virtuoso came to London to give a series of concerts. Giuliani was Sor's only rival. However, the playing styles of the two men were quite different, so each master had his followers.
As a result, two separate fan clubs came in to begin, one named for Sor, the other for Giuliani. Top
One of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century was born in Linares , Spain , on February 21, 1893. At the age of five he was taken to live with his uncle in Granada . His uncle encouraged him to learn the violin, but little Andrés was captivated by the sound of a guitar played by a local "flamenco" performer in his uncle's house. In the absence of formal training Segovia became, as he put it, "both teacher and pupil," a combination that produced the most celebrated guitarist of the twentieth century.
Segovia 's sound was unique, and he literally captured the World with his sensitive and romantic concerts.
He was concern with the limitations of the guitar concert repertoire and launched a campaign to persuade prominent composer to write for the guitar, including Brazilian Villa-Lobos, Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Joaquín Rodrigo, and many others. His master classes in Siena , Italy , and in Santiago de Compostela , Spain , were a magnet to serious students, many of who are leading players today like the renowned English virtuoso John Williams. It is because of Segovia that the classical guitar is well accepted today in music academies and universities. He gave the guitar stature, and the level of his personal musicianship forced critics to recognize in him a performer comparable to Fritz Kreisler or Pablo Casals. Segovia 's genial nature brought him into contact with many famous people of his day, and as he said shortly before his death in 1987, "I have lived a long life, but a broad one." Top

Ballot-box budgeting
From Ballotpedia
Ballot-box budgeting is a term used to refer to the process of making decisions about government budgets through direct democracy.[1]
"Ballot-box budgeting" is typically used in a critical context.
Troy Senik
Troy Senik, writing in City Journal in December 2011:
- "The economic fallout brings the shortcomings of ballot-box policymaking into sharp relief. Time and again, California voters are asked to approve outlays for emotionally resonant issues—mental-health treatment, school improvements, funding children's hospitals—and time and again, they sign off. But the right to vote on an issue is always untethered from any notion of fiscal responsibility. In most cases, voters aren't required to find a funding mechanism, whether in the form of spending cuts or tax hikes. They're simply asked if they'd like to be charitable on someone else's dime. The result is the unsustainable mix of opposition to tax hikes and enthusiasm for new spending projects that has put the state in its current fiscal morass."[2]

Two other fountains at either end of the piazza, works by Giacomo della Porta, complete the overall picture.
The Fountain of the Moor, fed by the Aqueduct of the Virgin (Virgo), was originally called "the snail fountain": Bernini had in fact modified the fountain, inserting a dolphin that supported a snail, but the people, as well as the Pamphilj family, were not exactly thrilled with this combination and so a male figure was put in to substitute the snail, a figure with African or "Moorish" features that holds the dolphin by the tail and it is this particular point that gives the fountain the name it's had ever since.
Originally there was also an iron fence around the fountain which gave rise to a tasty "pasquinade". Late one night, behind the famous talking statue of Pasquino, a piece of paper appeared with the words: "Oh, unhappy water! They have closed you behind gates of iron. Then again, it was to be expected--it was a Virgin!", referring to the Virgin spring water but also to the chastity belt very much in vogue at the time.
On the other end, the fountain of Neptune, originally called the fountain of the kettle makers, remained unfinished for a long time until a few marine deities were added along with the statue of the god of the sea battling an octopus.

I was just running 'emerge -p depclean' to see what portage thinks it doesn't need anymore, to tune my world file, and it told me !!! You have no system list. !!! Proceeding will break your installation. This seemed a little odd to me. What file is the system list stored in? I thought it was somewhere in /usr/portage/profiles, but I couldn't find anything there, either on this box, or on my (x86) local rsync server (which still has its system list). both machines are running portage-2.0.53_rc7 and accept ~arch any ideas?

Yesterday, I decided to finally trim back some branches from a honeysuckle over my driveway that was making it difficut to get in/out of the car and before I knew it I had carved out a nice little shady area. I envision a bench and a birdbath among a small oasis of multi-season bloom (if thats even possible in shade).
Unfortunately, I dont have the time to work on it right now. So, I need some suggestions on types of seed that I can spread & forget, except for weeding of course. Im looking for a ground cover, some upright plants and something compact or bushy. Thanks in advance :-) p.s. the area faces east so it gets about 2 or 3 hours of direct morning sun. |

Hi, I planted Shinseiki Asian pear this year and it is already leafed out. One of the branch got broken during planting (circled in pink in the below photo) but still holding on to the tree and it also has new leafs. Is there any way I can fix this, please let me know. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a shinseki as well. I guess you could fix it but if were mine I would cut it off. Weak branch, could get bugs, just not good. How large in dia. is it? |
- Posted by fireweed22 none (My Page) on Wed, Apr 10, 13 at 11:49
Nope, just cut it now. If you manage to splint it, it will be a future weak point and guaranteed to snap with a little snow or any fruit load. That plus disease. |
- Posted by nandakumar 7 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 10, 13 at 14:41
Thanks Campy and Fireweed, Sure, will cut the branch right away. |

Spiritual Guidance of Children
Spiritual Guidance of Children
Children have a natural, deep spirituality. They know God even before stories and symbols. Yet they need adults who can help them explore their relationship with the holy and learn a language for their faith.
General Theological Seminary's Spiritual Guidance of Children program provides both academic learning and practical training for the spiritual guidance of children. The program includes academic courses in the major theological disciplines, with a focus on children's spirituality; scholarly courses addressing the theory and history of children's spirituality; and practicum courses teaching approaches for nurturing children's spirituality through story, wonder, silence, prayer, and play.
As someone who cares about children's spirituality, you are welcome to apply for the program or simply take a course to enhance your ministry, spiritual life and relationships with children.
Program Specifics

Courses are designed in both traditional six- and 12-week formats and often in intensive weekday and weekend formats, allowing you to pursue the certificate concurrently with other commitments. Each summer, six credits of SGC courses are held over two weeks, allowing students to complete the certificate requirements in three summers. Courses are taught by seminary faculty and expert scholars and ministers in the field of children's spirituality.
Any course in the certificate program which you successfully completed as a non-matriculated student can count towards the requirements for your certificate, should you later decide to apply for the program. The Seminary will require that you apply for admission after you complete six credits.
Who May Pursue the Program?
Directors of Christian Formation

Non-original Corvette Master Cylinders stick out like a sore thumb. Just pop the hood on any 1968-1982 Corvette and you can very easily identify the originality of your master cylinder through small yet important details. If you're not sure if you have a correct master cylinder, consider researching through a 1968-1982 Corvette NCRS Judging Manual. The NCRS manuals are full of information that will break down each item on your Corvette.
If your Corvette's brake system needs a new master cylinder, you have several choices through Zip Corvette. First, you can rebuild your Corvette's master cylinder with a rebuild kit. These kits include all the seals, boots, clips and pistons required for overhauling your original cylinder. If rebuilding your unit is not an option, consider purchasing a new master cylinder. Zip has master cylinders that are great replacements (a little cheaper) or 100% correct and will pass NCRS judging standards.
For years, 100% correct master cylinders were only found in the junk yards and required rebuild. Just recently, a new reproduction master cylinder became available. These master cylinders are manufactured to exact factory specifications. These units include the original style casting with casting number, factory exterior paint coating, a reproduction cap, stamped code (PG or DC) denoting manual or power brakes and dual brake bleeders as applicable. Each Master Cylinder from 1968-1976 is equipped with the correct 1″ bore for standard brakes; 1 1/8″ bore for power brake cars. All 77-82 Corvette Master Cylinders come with a 1 1/8″ bore, as this size became the standard. To top it off, each master cylinder includes a reproduction twin dome cap with correct color and lettering for complete authenticity.
This image shows the detail included in our reproduction master cylinders. Each one is manufactured with the correct shade of black and has the casting number displayed as shown. You can also see the reproduction cap which has the original style twin domes and correct tint with lettering.
Here you can see the reverse side of our 1973-1974E Corvette reproduction Master Cylinder. Pictured are the correct dual brake bleeder valves and connections for both master cylinder brake lines.
Note: Only 1968-1973E Corvette Master Cylinders came with dual bleeder valves.
This is a top view of a 1968-1972 Corvette Reproduction Master Cylinder for power brake cars. Here you can see the correct color and lettering on the master cylinder cap. Also pictured are the dual brake bleeders and "PG" stamping which marks this unit as a power brake master cylinder.
Note: Only 1968-1972 Corvette Master Cylinders came with "DC" or "PG" stamps.
1968-1982 Corvette Parts were forever changing as the generation continued to grow. Though many parts saw drastic modifications, there were other Corvette Parts that saw small yet important differences. Today's enthusiast needs to be aware of these changes when restoring a C3 Corvette. Don't be fooled by look-a-likes or so-called original style master cylinders when you can be sure you are getting the real deal from Zip Corvette. All of our reproduction master cylinders are 100% correct and will pass NCRS judging standards.

Micropropagation of Sentang (Azadirachta Excelsa (Jack) Jacobs)
Jainol, Juddy E. (1997) Micropropagation of Sentang (Azadirachta Excelsa (Jack) Jacobs). Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
3955Kb |
The large-scale propagation of sentang CA. excelsa (Jack) Jacobs) through seeds is impractical as the seeds are recalcitrant and they loose viability in a short period Therefore this study sought to develop a protocol for the micropropagation of sentang. It involved the determination of an appropriate sterilization technique, a suitable explant to be used, appropriate medium and plant growth regulators for shoot formation, multiplication and rooting, as well as estimating the rate of multiplication. Means of solving problems of defoliation during rooting and shoot elongation were also developed. A comparative study on the rootability of shoots excised from the initial culture and final subculture was also conducted.

By LARRY VAUGHT
Reese Kemp was excited enough when Kentucky freshmen basketball players Dakari Johnson, Andrew Harrison and Aaron Harrison came to the hospital recently to visit him — Kemp has cystic fibrosis and diabetes — but he was even more thrilled after getting to shoot basketball with Johnson, Andrew Harrison and freshman walk-on E.J. Floreal at the Joe Craft Center Monday.
"I went yesterday and just hung out with them and today I went in the gym and played one-on-one and two-on-two with Dakari, Andrew and E.J.," said Kemp Monday night. "It was awesome just to hang out with the new guys and see how they are in real life.
"Dakari is huge. He is going to be a man in the league. He's going to be so good."
Kemp, a student at West Jessamine High School, said Andrew Harrison was "cool" around him.
"He's not used to big media, but he will get there. He need some time to come out of his shell with the media. Him and (twin brother) Aaron, he is the shy one. Once you know him, he is a funny dude. He was awesome to hang out with."
Kemp, who had been befriended by many of John Calipari's former stars, said the players "caught me by surprise" when they came to visit.
"They said they were coming and then they sent me a text saying sorry that they couldn't make it," Kemp said. "Then they came walking into my hospital room. Julius (Randle) came and I had no idea he was coming.
"I still definitely get a kick out of it when the players come to see me. It's still pretty amazing and crazy to think they take time to come see me. They are not superstars to me any more. They are just like big brothers. They have my backs and I have their backs. I can't wait to see them all play this year. I like them all and know I'll like seeing them play."
Nerlens Noel got him tickets to UK games last year. He's hoping to get "hooked up again" so he can be at Rupp Arena to support the Cats this season.
"It makes me feel amazing to see these guys work out. But for them to meet me and take two to three hours to come hang out in the hospital with me, the last place anybody wants to be, when they don't have to is amazing. They put a big smile on my face every time," Kemp said. "I don't even know what to think or say when they leave."
Kemp likes to help others, too. He's working on a Big Blue Madness ticket giveaway for the second straight year. He will be part of the Big Blue Madness campout to get tickets and he will let fans email him at firstname.lastname@example.com with why he should give them two tickets. One winner last year was a girl who had received a heart transplant.
Kemp, who also organizes a toy giveaway at Christmas for needy families, will share the winning entries on vaughtsviews.com this year, too.
"I just love helping people because so many people help me," Kemp said. "It's only fair."

Lipscombe LL et al. – Current tamoxifen therapy is associated with an increased incidence of diabetes in older breast cancer survivors.
Methods- This nested case–control study used population–based health databases in Ontario, Canada to identify women older than 65 years with early stage breast cancer between April 1, 1996 and March 31, 2006.
- Cases were defined as cohort members diagnosed with diabetes during follow–up (March 31, 2008), and each case was age–matched with up to 5 controls who did not develop diabetes.
- After adjusting for other risk factors, the authors compared the likelihood of diabetes between current tamoxifen users and tamoxifen nonusers, based on prescriptions at diabetes diagnosis.
- They also compared diabetes risk in current aromatase inhibitor users versus nonusers.
- Of 14,360 breast cancer survivors identified, mean age 74.9years, 1445 (10%) developed diabetes over a mean follow–up of 5.2years.
- Current tamoxifen therapy was associated with a significantly higher risk of diabetes compared with no tamoxifen therapy (adjusted odds ratio, 1.24; 95% confidence interval, 1.08–1.42; P=.002).
- There was no association between aromatase inhibitor therapy and diabetes.

METHUEN — A civilian helped officers arrest an alleged shoplifter last night, police said.
Walmart reported a shoplifter had fled the store at 6:38 p.m. The suspect ran across Pleasant Valley Street to Mann Orchards, then ran through backyards, hopping fences, according to police.
Officers set up a perimeter and several area residents came out of their houses and pointed to the direction in which the shoplifter was fleeing, police said. Officer Jeff Torrisi encountered the suspect, ordered him to stop and as he placed his hands on him, the man clenched his fists and began to struggle, according to Lt. Michael Wnek.
At that moment, a man identified on the department's Facebook page as Chris Ross, believed to be in his 20s, bear-hugged the suspect and "escorted him to the ground," Wnek said.
Joshua Silva, 26, of 293 Jackson St., Lawrence, was arrested and charged with shoplifting by asportation, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

LONDON (UPI) -- Google co-founder Sergey Brin has been revealed as the man who bankrolled the research producing the world's first lab-grown hamburger, unveiled in London. It just goes too show: no matter how rich you get, you can still wind up making burgers.
(UPI) For the Guantanamo Bay inmates in solitary confinement, "Fifty Shades of Grey" provides some sort of company. Critics note that Guantanamo Bay is the only place in the world where reading the book would NOT be considered a form of torture.
NASHVILLE (UPI) -- A Tennessee judge has granted Karen Elson's request for a restraining order against her estranged husband Jack White, court records show. The order is currently set to be printed on 180 gram two-color virgin vinyl, then released in a limited edition pressing, available only from fifty select law schools across the world.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (UPI) -- Freshman Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., told a Gainesville, Fla., town hall meeting he supports further investigation into the circumstances of President Obama's birth. NSA heads were quick to agree with Yoho, saying the birth certificate issue is the most pressing trouble America currently faces and they recommend that everyone give all their attention to it for the foreseeable future.
LONDON (UPI) -- Scottish actor Peter Capaldi was named Sunday as the 12th incarnation of the Doctor in BBC's "Doctor Who." As a long-time fan, Capaldi rushed to opine that the casting was a terrible decision which would ruin the show forever, just like every other fan said about every other Doctor before him.
DSC_0320 from Daniel Hartwig and Tommy behind the counter says it's inspired by Shack Shack.. and he's huge foursquare fan! from Dennis Crowley are used under a Creative Commons License.
I chuckled at the last one in spite of myself.
Yes, Capaldi as the doctor IS better than waterboarding! Seriously, though. I tried for about 48 hours to avoid who the new Who was, and then somebody posted it in my facebook feed... and it was all over. I think I figured out why. You see, it's kind of like "the game". Each time you think about the game, you lose the game. Then you have to announce it. (Like now, seeing as I just lost the game.) As soon as each person found out it was Capaldi, they had to share it, so that the next person could lose the game. XD

I ordered this because of the excellent reviews, it is indeed beautiful and sturdy, perfect. I was initially wary because I would have to put it together myself. But it was easy, no screws, just putting three pieces together. The directions were very clear with diagram & words, easier than putting together kid toys. The item was shipped quickly and it was carefully packed. This was for my basement, but I think I may need to order another one for my living room!
I got two of these, for a bedroom and the family room and am very pleased. Unlike most furniture ordered online, this does not require assembly -- it folds up. The ends fold in half inwardly, and the sides are straight. The bottom arrives inside the lid, and you insert it after unfolding the sides, which have a few strips of webbing at the bottom to keep the sides from bowing outward. The lid then fits on top. Despite this folding design, it feels solid when a large adult sits on it. I would not treat it like a step ladder, though and lean off at odd angles, but it feels quite sturdy for sitting. The top is comfortably padded, and it holds quite a bit., fine for king size pillows and blankets. More surprising perhaps -- given its cost -- is its very finished appearance. It looks like a leather chest costing four or five times as much.
I was hesitant in purchasing this bench b/c I was afraid that since it was collapsible it would not be sturdy - but that is not the case at all! It is incredibly sturdy and looks fabulous! I mainly got it for my two dogs to lay on and look outside our front window and it supports their constant jumping on and off. The storage space is great too. Completely satisfied and happy!
The problem with the ottoman is that it is extremely hard. I guess it is really not what I was expecting as far as comfort is concerned. I bought it to replace another ottoman that was used in front of my sofa. The bonded leather does not soften to make it comfortable to prop your feet. However, it is great for storage.
While this is a good idea if you're looking for some extra storage space, I found the ottoman to be a little bit too tall, and the top of it way too hard to be comfortable for use as an ottoman. Had the top been padded more and the overall height maintained, it probably would have been OK. It's nice to have something that can be simply folded and stored - which is probably what I'll do once I get a replacement one that works better....
Love, love, love it!!! Very sturdy, attractive, and has storage!!!
This is a good value for the price and I like that it is made of leather. We are going to use it to store blankets so our cat won't get hair all over them. Also good as a footrest for watching TV in our basement!
We love it. Looks very good. Cost was unbelievable. Very happy.
This ottoman is just what I needed for my den. It has a great design, color and functionality. It also has great storage. A wonderful addition to my home at a great price.
Great color. Well made and sturdy. Comfortable. Nice soft leather. Takes virtually no time to set up. Great storage space, and fits anywhere. Good value. Highly recommend.

Tops in Texas — Can Roger Creager Hold Off JB and the Moonshine Band + Granger Smith
Last week Roger Creager went to the top of the Texas charts with something like his 121st consecutive single. This week he looks to keep "For You I Do" at the top, but to do it he'll have to hold off JB and the Moonshine Band and Granger Smith, both hot on his heals for that No. 1 spot. Who's at the top? Let's find out.
