Happy Music Monday! It's Labor Day! So Scott's taking the day off. But he's left us post in honor of the arrival of Autumn. Today we're taking a look at the songs about September, the month that's both a beginning and an end. Sort of like the ocean, September marks the end of one thing and the return of the next. Like children, we dread the end of summer, but we look forward to the next chapter of life that starts in the fall. Maybe that's why it's such a good metaphor for romance? And that's where Scott's starting this week:
Barry White - September When I First Met You
Hit play. You should be groovin' along right about… now. Ain't nobody as smooth as Barry White. This song has the warmth of a September sun, but the crispness of a September afternoon. You can hear the promise in Barry's voice too, he's gonna hang on to this one no matter how cold the winter gets later.
Join us after the jump as we explore the paradox that is September. Maybe you'll have your own songs to offer as well!
Before we head inside, remember our new Spotify playlist will be featuring a great selection from last week's Music Monday comments. The theme of the mix this time is Girl Groups and you're probably gonna be dancing to it for the rest of the day. Come back to it and get happy if September has you feeling down.
Big Star - September Gurls
Ah, young love. Who hasn't made a new crush as the weather began to change? Even as grownups, we still feel the pull. That shy, just-waiting-to-be-noticed guitar wants to take you to the football game, but can't quite figure out how to ask. Maybe by December it'll work itself out, but right now it's still September, and nothing is certain.
Type-O Negative - September Sun
I'm not a huge Type-O Negative fan, but this song really does catch the gentle moody glory of September. The leaves will change, the clouds will appear, people start actively talking about holiday plans… it's not as easy as a warm July afternoon in a hammock. Naturally, I'm reading into that, as Peter Steele likely uses September as a metaphor for his own breakup (and prison term) but doesn't that just prove my point about what September means to us all?
David Sylvian - September
Okay, okay, maybe I'm overdoing the seasonal affective disorder this time. But David Sylvian's short piano-heavy ode to September (it's just the first 1:17) really is beautiful. Like a grey weekend when you've got nothing to do but lie in bed and be introspective, this song captures the quiet moments that happen when you don't really feel like going out. You're not sad, you're not excited, you're just a little bit September. We all need that once in a while, right? Keeps us thinking. Keeps us honest.
Johnnie Taylor - It's September
Johnnie Taylor's funky story of an autumn breakup closes us out. It's nothing fancy, just a soulful story of a relationship that grew cold with the seasons. But even as things go bad, our hero still holds onto hope. And why not? Because even if it doesn't work now, there's always next summer, right?
So Scott missed a bunch, right? Well, he was probably rushing out the door for his PAX coverage. Anyway, it's your turn now. Drop your favorite September themed songs in the comments below and show him what he's missing. Also feel free to stop by our Turntable.fm room for the regular Music Monday enjoyment. Though it's Labor Day, they're pretty dedicated, so you'll probably find them hanging out! Also, let us just remind you: some images come from the corresponding Wikipedia page and are here under fair use.
How is there no "Wake Me Up When September End" on this list?
I'm not saying it's the best September song, just the first one that comes to mind.
I love this version of Earth, Wind & Fire's "September" by Pomplamoose.
The video always makes me smile.
Bah-dee-whaaa? How could you leave out Earth, Wind & Fire?
My parents got married in September and I think they did it because of Neil Diamond (gross).
DennisG2010 wrote:I love this version of Earth, Wind & Fire's "September" by Pomplamoose.

Love this. That video was my first exposure to Pomplamoose, besides the car commerical. And you're right, that video always make me smile.
I mean technically this is really about November, but I'm sure Wyclef made the song IN September:
When I think of songs about September, the Earth, Wind and Fire one always comes to mind first. But two others I've always loved are Chris Daughtry's September:
And The Happenings' See You in September:
Thanks, LAHODGES - "See You in September" should have been #1 on the list (or am I just showing my age?).
I feel like Kurt Weill's "September Song" was left off this list intentionally just to consternate us
lipophilia wrote:Thanks, LAHODGES - "See You in September" should have been #1 on the list (or am I just showing my age?).
It seems to me it should have definitely been in the top! It's before my time and I still know the song!
Got a real heart breaker for you
Carissa's Wierd - September Come Take This Heart Away
September in Seattle - Shawn Mullins
Great song.
I love this song and I'm 27 (28 in one day!) I used to play it on the piano when I was little. I wonder if I still can...
abitterwoman wrote:I love this song and I'm 27 (28 in one day!) I used to play it on the piano when I was little. I wonder if I still can...
In case I forget tomorrow (likely, if we must be totally honest), happy birthday!

16 Things Picture Buyers dislike about their Stock AgenciesMarch 08, 2011
In a continuing effort to release as much information as we can concerning picture buyers and their habits in today's stock industry, we will look at what things image buyers disliked that their image agency did or wasn't doing. This question was one part of a two part question relating to what picture buyers liked and didn't like about the stock agencies they work with. Below is a collection of their responses in no order of importance but cover the range of dislikes that image buyers had. 1. Prefer stock sites that have a current selection images of people using media (my firm sells advertising in magazines, online and mobile devices.) The laptops, computer screens, and mobile devices should be current. People using the devices need to look realistic. They should look somewhat affluent or have some purchasing power. 2. Few images of "ordinary" people of many backgrounds, skin colors or multi-national origins. Few images of disabled individuals or groups doing ordinary (non-medical) activities, bland generic office pictures. 3. Keywords need to be accurately curated, correct caption information, no time to sift through keywording spam. Keyword spam makes me not want to visit a site. 4. Same images on every site and smaller agencies that are different get subsumed by the larger ones 5. Dropping or losing photographer/images and then being unable to re-license them for p/up imagery 6. Caps to RF imagery or microstock imagery 7. Everyone uses the same great images. Should be a system for professional level and entry level buyers so everyone isn't using the same images/vector files... 8. It's difficult to find great deals or new imagery since they are all concentrated under Getty and Corbis again...There is very little good, new material. 9. Discontinuing of RF CDs 10. Photos that SCREAM "I'm a stock photo." More quality stock illustration at lower costs - less computer generated in feel. 11. It's not very fun and takes a ling time to search for images. 12. Credits packages that do not expire. 13. Sites that don't allow for repeat download of photos purchased. 14. Overly complex search engines 15. The search engines for iStock and Corbis aren't very intuitive, or aren't as intuitive as they could be. Getty has better search filters. The quality of the photos are sometimes hit and miss. I understand that to be acceptable for lower priced images like iStock but some of the other larger ones still have that same issue. 16. I think just having better search and/or search and filtering methods, would save us tremendous amounts of time and get better results. Perhaps better tagging, or more accurate tagging of the images. Many times I will get provocative images when I'm not searching for them. What do you dislike about the stock agency you choose to work with? Is there anything you hate which they do? What would you change?

Rochester firefighter donates royalties to adult learning
Thursday, January 17, 2013
ROCHESTER — In spring of 2011, Dover resident and Rochester firefighter Don McCullough, enrolled in an advanced writing class facilitated by Sue Wheeler at Dover Adult Learning Center. He had a manuscript in the works for a story he'd been carrying with him since he was 12 years old.

Floods: counting the cost of keeping people, property and highways safe
Monday, 07 April 2014
Sixty eight and a half million pounds - that's the estimated potential cost to Hampshire County Council of its response and recovery operation in the aftermath of this winter's flooding.
The impact of the most significant rainfall for 250 years and the scale of the measures taken to protect life and property are in a report to be discussed by the Council's Cabinet on 14 April 2014.
The longer term capital costs of remedial work to damaged highways, at more than 300 locations and flood and coastal defence works, to avoid future flooding in badly affected areas, is estimated to be about £63M. The cost of the emergency response including sandbagging, tree clearing and clean-up costs, adds up to a further £5million.
The multi-agency response, overseen by the Local Resilience Forum in Hampshire, has been praised by Government for the way agencies worked together and for the outcomes that were achieved in very difficult circumstances. A major part of the County Council's contribution was keeping highways safe and open. This included:
- 100 council staff and 200 contractors on deployment around the clock, putting in place preventative and mitigation measures
- 354 weeks, or 13,127 hours of highways' staff's time spend on responding to and dealing with the aftermath
- 1,000 fallen trees removed from roads
- 22,000 reports and requests for help from the public over the two months, more than three times the average.
- 160 tonnes of crushed concrete used to build a temporary elevated road at Andover Road, Winchester in just 72 hours
- 80 investigations into floods, with engineering advice, temporary schemes and water diversions and advice to property owners and businesses to protect their homes and possessions
- 33 detailed bids for funding to the Environment Agency's Regional Flood and Coastal Committee for future flood risk management researched and prepared
- Over 70,000 sandbags deployed on highways across the county
The detailed report from the Director of Economy, Transport and Environment and the Head of Finance, outlines the huge multi-agency efforts in a number of areas that suffered the worst of the flooding and the emerging financial consequences. Very different scenarios existed, requiring different types of response - from a violent coastal storm in Milford on Sea, to high groundwater levels flooding properties, overwhelming the sewers in Basingstoke and Test Valley, to river flooding threatening properties in Winchester, Romsey and Fordingbridge.
Work with district councils to evacuate properties and set up rest centres, checks on vulnerable residents by social services and the distribution of Public Health advice around issues such as contaminated water are highlighted. The report also refers to the recycling or disposal of a high volume of wood panels, fencing and other storm damaged materials and the work to help people dispose of their sandbags.
It is anticipated that the Council will be making a Bellwin claim to the Government for between £3.5million to £4.5million, for the cost of the emergency response. An £11.5million grant for highways works has been received from Government, which is about a third of the estimated cost of repairs to damaged highways.
Council Leader Roy Perry said the Council would continue its representations to Government for more money. He said: "Getting £11.5million is a really helpful first- step from Government and we'll be bidding for more resources, bearing in mind we estimate that another £25million, or more, is needed to fix damaged roads alone.
"We are committed to continuing to fund an enhanced maintenance programme to improve the resilience of our 5,000 miles of roads, which, together with resources we are planning to spend in the recent budget, is testimony to the importance we attach to investing in Hampshire.
"I am conscious also that a lot of businesses in Hampshire have suffered and we have been exploring what help there is available in that respect, as well as for individual householders. We will certainly be making that advice available.
"I have already had a face-to-face meeting with Brandon Lewis the Local Government Minister and we are planning a further meeting with Minister Dan Rogerson, also at the Department of Communities and Local Government - to press Hampshire's case.
"Additionally, we've had a very positive and useful meeting of the Hampshire Partnership attended by District Leaders, Fire and Rescue, Police and the Army - where we discussed lessons learned so far. Hampshire Fire and Rescue is leading the de-brief to capture those learning points to inform future flood mitigation measures and emergency responses. We also await Government's announcement on its long-term plans for future flood investment.
"What's difficult to capture, in monetary terms, is the amount of effort put in by frontline staff from all agencies and those who went above and beyond their roles to respond to the emergencies. In recognition of those efforts, the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire Dame Mary Fagan and I, will be hosting an event after Easter. We also intend to find an appropriate way to express the county's thanks to the volunteers who were the 'saints and saviours' of flooding within Hampshire and played a tremendous part in supporting their neighbours."

Al Pike: Graham a great find for UNH
Sunday, February 3, 2013
It didn't take long for Corey Graham's play-making ability to emerge at the college level.
Dover's Nick Couturier, an all-conference center at UNH, came in with Graham, who combined intelligence with athleticism.
"When we saw him on tape it looked like he was playing in somebody's back yard," said UNH head coach Sean McDonnell. "It was like Gulliver's Travels. He was a man among boys."
He also set a record for return yards in a game at Delaware when the opposing quarterback was Joe Flacco, who is now calling signals for the Ravens.
He started only 10 games in five years with the Bears, who drafted him in the fifth round in 2007.
"He had a great personality," Couturier said. "He was the hardest worker we had on the team. He put his time in. He loved to play football."
"Nothing has really changed as far as the family aspect," Barbato said. "I guarantee they still care more about winning than they do any personal accolades."

American Association for the Advancement of Science Founded in 1848, AAAS is a non-profit professional society. Their mission is to "[further the work of scientists, facilitate cooperation among them, foster scientific freedom and responsibility, improve the effectiveness of science in the promotion of human welfare, advance education in science, and increase the public's understanding and appreciation of the promise of scientific methods in human progress." Membership is open to all.
American Association of Engineering Societies is an association of various engineering societies. It works to coordinate information and activities among these societies, and represents the interests of the engineering community to the government, to the general public, and to the media.
The American Academy of Microbiology is composed of distinguished scientists who have been recognized for excellence in microbiology. It is an elite group within the American Society of Microbiology (ASM).
American Association of University Professors is concerned with academic freedom, tenure, and professional responsibility. Its codes and policies are compiled in what is known as the "Redbook."
Academic honesty or integrity is the maintenance of truthfulness and proper crediting of sources of ideas and expressions. Behaviors such as cheating on examinations and lab reports, or plagiarism of course papers and homework assignments violate academic integrity. Violations of academic integrity by students have the same character as violations of research integrity by scholars and research investigators
(see RESEARCH ETHICS). Other matters of academic integrity include honesty in writing letters of recommendation and in reporting institutional statistics.
To be accountable is to be answerable or required to answer for one's actions. Sometimes the term "accountable" is used with a moral connotation ("normatively") meaning morally required to answer for one's actions without specifying to whom one is accountable. More often "accountable" is used descriptively to describe the sociological fact that a person or organization in question is required to answer to a particular party by some rules or organizational structure. For example, "the principal is accountable to the school board" gives a description of the social facts without suggesting anything about the ethical legitimacy of the organizational structure.
Confusion arises when "responsible" is used as a synonym for "accountable," especially in discussions of official responsibilities. When "responsible" is used as a synonym for "accountable" the preposition "to" is also involved, as in "each staff employee is responsible/accountable to a supervisor" (see RESPONSIBILITY). Being a responsible person, that is, the sort of person who fulfills one's moral responsibilities, is an ideal of character, a virtue. Being accountable is not a moral virtue but only a fact about one's social or organizational situation. Although it is often argued that people are more likely to behave responsibly if they are held accountable for their actions, there is no necessary link between being responsible and being accountable.
Administrative law is constituted by that body of regulations, rules, orders, decisions, and policies that carry out the regulatory powers created of administrative agencies. In ordinary use, as contrasted with technical legal use, people often speak of administrative law as "regulation." For example, it is often pointed out that it is easier for regulatory agencies, such as U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration to update their regulations than it is to get Congress to pass new laws. In the technical legal sense, regulation is law. It has "the force of law." It differs from legislation only in that such matters as the legal limit on some substance may be changed by regulators (because of better scientific studies on its effects, for example) without going back to legislators for new legislation. Administrative law, like all other forms of law, is subject to assessment and criticism in terms of ethics and justice. See also CIVIL LAW and CRIMINAL LAW.
Positive steps to enhance the diversity of some group, often to remedy the cumulative effect of subtle as well as gross expressions of prejudice. In science and engineering affirmative actions often aim to enhance the participation of women and underrepresented minorities in these fields.
Applied research is the investigation of phenomena to discover whether their properties are appropriate to a particular need or want, usually a human need or want. In contrast, basic research investigates phenomena without reference to particular needs and wants. Applied research is more closely associated with technology, engineering, invention, and development. Basic research is sometimes described as "pure research."
Assent is a variation of the concept of Informed Consent specifically used in reference to research subjects such as children or other persons without the full competence to provide informed consent. For instance, because children under 18 are below the legal age of consent, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) requires additional protections when children are involved as subjects. Assent is defined as a child's affirmative agreement to participate in research. Mere failure to object should not, absent affirmative agreement, be construed as assent" (45 CFR 46 Subpart D). In addition, the federal regulations require the permission of one or both parents or guardians of the child, depending on the nature of the research to be performed.
Authenticity is the character trait or virtue of authenticity is that of being genuine, honest with oneself as well as others. Therefore, "authenticity" connotes not only candor, but an absence of hypocrisy or self-deception.
See RIGHT OF SELF-DETERMINATION.
SeeAPPLIED versus BASIC RESEARCH
An inclination that influences judgment is a bias. The term may be used in a merely descriptive way to mean an inclination, but more often it is used indicate an inclination that influences judgment but ought not to. "Prejudice" is a synonym for bias in this pejorative sense.
However, the bias that cannot in principle be eliminated in the work of scientific investigators, in contrast to bias or prejudice that can and should be eliminated, is also an important topic in research ethics. For example, the way disciplinary training inclines people to interpret the results of an experiment in terms of the established categories of that discipline is a permanent feature of research, and one that must be taken into account in assessing responsible behavior in research. Of course, researchers may hold disciplinary biases and still be unbiased in other respects, that is, they may be impartial on the question of the truth or falsity of a particular research hypothesis.
As defined by the U.S. government, "biotechnology" refers to any technique that uses living organisms (or parts of organisms) to make or modify products, to improve plants and animals, or to develop microorganisms for specific use. Biotechnology focuses on the practical applications of science (as opposed to doing basic research). Historically, biotechnology has had an impact in three main areas: health, food/agriculture, and environmental protection. Biotechnologists try to solve problems in these and other areas such as the need to cure or prevent illness, for clean water, and to preserve food.
A bribe is something given or offered to a person or organization in a position of trust to induce such a person to behave in a way inconsistent with that trust. As C.E. Harris (2000) points out, offering a bribe is not the same as capitulating to extortion (that is, capitulating to a demand under coercion or intimidation). It may be ethically justified to pay extortion in some circumstances, even though it would be wrong to offer a bribe. Bribes are paid to obtain something to which one does not have a right, such as a special advantage in awarding a contract. In contrast, extortion is paid to secure something to which one has a right, such as the return of expensive equipment one has legally brought into a country but which a corrupt customs official claims has been "lost".
Candor is the quality of being frank or open. The original, now obsolete sense of the term was of the virtue of purity or innocence. Although being open and unbiased is a positive quality, in some circumstances it is better to be discreet rather than candid with someone about a particular topic. Certainly, there are matters in which a person is morally required to keep something confidential, and therefore being candid with the wrong party about such a matter would be an ethical breach. See also AUTHENTICITY.
A challenge study is one in which researchers intentionally give subject/patients pharmacological agents in order to induce and study psychiatric symptomatology.
In general, anything that is done for the purpose of deceiving someone else for personal gain or advantage. It has three essential elements:
Cheating oneself and self-deception are more complicated concepts.
Civil law is that body of law relating to contracts and suits, as contrasted with criminal law. Civil law covers suits of one party by another for such matters as breach of contract or negligence, and as such may have application in scientific and engineering contracts as well certain professional obligations. The standard of proof in civil cases is preponderance of evidence, a greater weight of evidence for than against. This is a weaker standard of proof than exists in criminal cases. Civil law, like all other forms of law, is subject to assessment and criticism in terms of ethics and justice. See also ADMINISTRATIVE LAW and CRIMINAL LAW.

In many countries, HIV rates are climbing among sex workers and people who use drugs. One of the main reasons is that they are criminalized. Too often sex workers and drug users are forced to choose between protecting their health and staying safe from police harassment or arrest. But a novel approach to law enforcement is changing this, and may prove as critical to HIV prevention as a condom or clean needle. Through partnerships with HIV experts and community groups, police such as those in Kyrgyzstan, depicted above, are playing a critical role in the fight against HIV.Read more »

Hi: 9° Lo:7°

TARA Fitzgerald makes her RSC debut in The Winter's Tale at Stratford in the new year.
Fitzgerald takes the role of Hermione in the production directed by Lucy Bailey which can be seen at the RST from January 24 to February 23, before touring the UK.
Fitzgerald is no newcomer to the stage with previous theatre outings including The Misanthrope, A Doll's House, and Hamlet.
Her TV credits include Waking The Dead, Jane Eyre, and The Body Farm, and she has recently finished recording the third series of HBO's Game of Thrones . Her film work includes Brassed Off, Sirens and The Englishman Who Went Up The Hill But Came Down A Mountain.
Shakespeare's tale of jealousy and forgiveness will also sees the return of RSC Associate Artist, Jo Stone-Fewings in the role of Leontes and the RSC debut of Rakie Ayola as Paulina.
Stone-Fewings last appeared with the RSC as Oberon and Theseus in A Midsummer Night's Dream, with other RSC credits including The City Madam, Orsino in Twelfth Night, and the Bastard in King John.
On TV he can be seen as Tom Eldridge in New Tricks, and has also appeared in Dr Who and Misfits.
Ayola, who is best known to many for her role as Kyla Tyson in Holby City, makes her RSC debut as Hermione's faithful servant, Paulina. Her other television credits include Silent Witness, Dr Who and Stella.
Talking about the production, Bailey said: "The Winter's Tale is set in a notional Sicilia and Bohemia. Most interpretations of the play revolve around the relationship of these two worlds. When I read the play, I had two strong instincts - that Sicilia and Bohemia were one and the same place, just two different modes of being, and that the "idyll" which is often understood to be Bohemia, is actually Sicilia.
"In our version which is set in the 1860s, the play begins in Sicilia, where Leontes and his court live a sheltered, beautiful dream of a life, bathed in endless sunshine, and completely removed from the real world of work and suffering. It is in essence an Ivory Tower. At the bottom of their tower, well beyond view, is Bohemia, where the working men and women, despite their struggle, make the most out of very little. We have tried to encapsulate this in our design for the play."
Music for the production is composed by Jon Boden, lead singer and founder member of contemporary folk band, Bellowhead.

A Vitec Group brand
Henrik Weber is an intuitive, creative and highly competent videographer who has filmed in a multitude of challenging locations around the globe. Weber has worked across a variety of genres, either as part of a team in studio productions and multi-camera events, or operating as a one-man band to light, direct and record interviews. One of Weber's specialisms is as a lighting cameraman, he is the Worldwide Video footage provider to many of the leading stock footage websites, and takes a great interest in using the most advanced, high performing lighting equipment.
On a number of recent overseas projects, Weber used a Litepanels' ASTRA 1×1 Bi-Color fixture to light a series of interviews and to support his ENG work.
Weber said: "I was commissioned by CBN news to do some filming during the European elections, shooting some generic ENG shots and a range of one to one interviews. For ENG work, the fixture is particularly convenient because of the low power consumption and the option of a battery adaptor.
Also, I had to travel light, so my kit had to be both flexible and easy to transport. I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight the ASTRA is, it performed exceptionally well and was portable enough be carried around on each trip."
Weber filmed using a Sony PMW-EX1 and found that one of the greatest advantages of the ASTRA was the unmatched level of lighting control.
Weber explained: "The biggest benefit was the ability to be able to adjust the colour balance. There are many LED lights on the market where the only option is to switch them on and hope that the colour is right. I used the ASTRA when I was shooting a promotional testimonial for a corporate client, it involved filming at a local café and I wasn't able to turn off the background light. I had to match the LED lighting to the surrounding light that was on the set and with the Litepanels' fixture I could easily dial up the correct colour temperature to match it."
The ASTRA combines Litepanels' hallmark LED technology in a sophisticated, slimline housing that provides pure, luminous, soft, directional output. The ASTRA shares many of the technical innovations designed by Litepanels including being completely heat-free, so the fixture can be placed comfortably close to talent and creates an unmatched soft, wraparound light.
Weber said: "Another recent project involved filming in a very confined space, with combustible material hanging down from the ceiling. It was important to light the interviewee and it would have been impossible to do a traditional fixture due to the heat they emit. As the Litepanels' fixtures are all cool running I was still able to safely light the interview without causing a fire hazard."
Weber has a busy shooting schedule ahead of him during the forthcoming months, the performance and quality of the ASTRA has convinced him to use it wherever he can in the future, regardless of the location, available space or set up.
