Laughter. The Best Medicine
Humour is key to happy relationships
Times Colonist Published: Thursday, September 18, 2008
The No.1 key to great relationships and incredible sex is laughter, says Mark Gungor.
And the motivational speaker, who heads a company called Laugh Your Way America and is also Pastor of Bayside Church in Greenbay Wis., will get the giggles going at Saanichton on Saturday, Sept. 27. He will present a day-long workshop on DVD, called Laugh Your Way to Better Relationships.
"Mark Gungor is one of the top marriage and family speakers in the United States and his illustrations are really, really funny," says Gail Schultz, director of the Centre for Self Awareness -- 7925 East Saanich Rd, -- where his DVD is being shown.
It will explore underlying themes and motivations in male/female relationships, she said, "and his humour makes is so enjoyable, effective and memorable."
In the morning Gungor will discuss how and why men and women are wired differently.
After lunch he will explain how to get the mojo back with five simple steps to "mind-blowing" love making, and in the afternoon he will discuss "how to stay married and not kill anybody,"
Gungor has a daily radio program heard on 250 American radio stations and recently signed a book deal with Simon & Schuster on the same subject.
His DVD will be shown from 10 a.m.- 9 p.m. and tickets are $20/$30 per couple. Call 250-544-0005 Monday to Thursday, noon to 5 p.m. or see www.victoriacsa.com

Laughter is the best medicine
Maurice Tougas, Canwest News Service Published: Thursday, September 18, 2008
Everyone needs a good laugh. And nobody knows that better than Billy Strean.
Indeed, Prof. Strean -- a PhD and PHD, or Professional Humour Dude, as he says -- has made a name for himself as an academic who takes humour seriously.
His serious dedication to laughter and teaching has earned Strean, a physical education and recreation professor, a Rutherford Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, the gold medal of teaching awards at the university.
Strean teaches classes like structure and strategy of games, communication strategies in sports and physical education, graduate courses in coaching, and a course about play as a foundation of sports, recreation and physical activity.
Sounds like fun -- and it is -- but there is serious science behind the fun and games.
Laughter's physical benefits are well documented. A good belly laugh is a workout for your cardiovascular, muscular and digestive systems, and is great for your state of mind.
While Strean has become known for linking humour and teaching, he's not a standup comic. In a manner befitting a PhD, he makes a distinction between humour and comedy.
Comedy, he says, is the sitcom on TV, or the standup comic, or the cocktail party joke.
Humour, however, is more of a feeling or an experience, and one that makes for a better learning environment.
"If there is a mood of lightness and we're not taking ourselves too seriously, people are far more open to ideas, to taking risks," Strean says.
"If we're playing, it's OK to make mistakes. That's a big part of what I consider humour in the classroom."
A humorous atmosphere makes people more open to learning, Strean believes.
Strean quotes John Cleese, the lanky British comic genius behind Monty Python's Flying Circus and Fawlty Towers, as saying "If I make you laugh, you'll probably like me better, and you'll be more open to my ideas. That's part of the mood and spirit of humour in the classroom."
In laughter workshops he has conducted for thousands of participants, Strean makes the distinction between laughter (which is universal and physical) and humour (which is culturally-bound, psychological and subjective).
"You don't even have to speak the same language or same cultural background, but just through seeing smiling faces and hearing the sound of laughter and doing laughter exercises, everyone will laugh together."
While the prospect of attempting to be humorous while teaching or during a presentation may be terrifying to most -- and potentially painfully unfunny -- you don't have to be Rodney Dangerfield to get people laughing. Adding humour to a classroom might be as simple as including an amusing cartoon in a presentation, or wearing a costume one day to create a comedy connection between student and teacher.
Strean comes by his interest in humour and psychology honestly. Both his parents were social workers, and his father was also a psychoanalyst with an interest in jokes; he wrote two books about jokes in psychotherapy and their meaning and purpose.
Strean combined his love of sports with his interest in what makes people tick, leading to studies in sport psychology.
He was directed toward a humour conference, which led to training in 2004 to become a "Certified Laughter Leader," an honour bestowed upon him by Steve Wilson, an Ohio psychologist who founded the World Laughter Tour (worldlaughtertour.com). Since getting his certification in funny, Strean has conducted laughter workshops for thousands of people in all walks of life.

"I have a dream. It's not a big dream, it's just a little dream. My dream and I hope you don't find this too crazy is that I would like the people of this community to feel that if, God forbid, there were a fire, calling the fire department would actually be a wise thing to do. You can't have people, if their houses are burning down, saying, 'Whatever you do, don't call the fire department!' That would be bad."

Scientists Develop Acoustic Cloak
Scientists have developed a new device that makes objects invisible to sound waves.
The approach borrows ideas from attempts to "cloak" objects from light.
The scientists said it uses simple plastic sheets with arrays of holes, and could be put to use in making ships invisible to sonar or in an acoustic design for concert halls.
Researchers have put forth effort to try and create "invisibility cloaks" since the feasibility of the idea was theorized in 2006.
Those approaches are based on metamaterials, man-made materials with property that do not occur in nature. The metamaterials are designed so they force light waves to travel around an object to an observer.
However, researchers quickly found that the mathematics behind these light waves could be applied to sound waves.
"Fundamentally, in terms of hiding objects, it's the same – how anything is sensed is with some kind of wave and you either hear or see the effect of it," Steven Cummer of Duke University told BBC News.
"But when it comes to building the materials, things are very different between acoustics and electromagnetics. The thing you need to engineer into the materials is very different behavior in different directions that the wave travels through it," he said.
Cummer described the theory of acoustic cloaking in Physical Review Letters in 2008. That work showed acoustic invisibility in a shallow layer of water.
Now, Cummer and his team have shown off an acoustic cloaking technique that works in air, for audible frequencies between one and four kilohertz.
The team uses stacked sheets of plastic with regular arrays of holes through them.
When the sheet is placed on a flat surface, the stack redirects the waves so reflected waves are exactly as they would be if the stack were not there at all.
"How the sound reflects off this reflecting surface with this composite object on it – which is pretty big and has a cloaking shell on it – really reflects… just like a flat surface does," Cummer told BBC.
Ortwin Hess, a director of Imperial College London's Center for Plasmonics and Metamaterials, said the work was "a really remarkable experimental demonstration".
"It shows very nicely that although acoustic and electromagnetic waves are very different in nature, the powers of transformation optics and transformation acoustics are [similar] – I'm quite pleased that there's activity on both ends," Hess told BBC.
Hess said the demonstration was for very directed sound waves, and only in two dimensions, but the most notable aspect of the approach was its simplicity.
"It's almost like someone could take a pencil and poke holes in a particular way in the plastic," he added.
"It's a bit more challenging for three dimensions. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be possible but it won't be just an afternoon's work."

A Distinguished Meal at Chefs' Holidays
On Tuesday, the first session of The Ahwahnee Hotel's 25th annual Chefs' Holidays came to a close with a blowout dinner — and my lucky self was there to partake in the event. At the cooperative dinner, each of the chefs prepared one dish in the five-course meal, which was served by candlelight in a majestic dining room lined with sugar pine trestles and floor-to-ceiling windows that showcased Yosemite Park. Between the jawdropping ambiance and the even more impressive food, it was certainly a Winter evening to remember. For my favorite moments, read on.

I have been to the Vintners Holiday at the Ahwanhee several times. I always go to the December session so that I will be there while it's snowing. It's so gorgeous.

I have the privilege of living within driving distance of Yosemite and I never tire of going to the Park. It's a glorious place, and the Ahwahnee Hotel showcases it well. Can't wait to see more pics and hear more about the Chef's Holiday event! :)

Aw, I'm disappointed you didn't take any pictures of the Awahanee Hotel or the dining room - or heck, Yosemite! It's all so gorgeous. My hubby and I went to Yosemite on our honeymoon, and his uncle gave us a dinner at the Awahanee - it was an amazing meal, a wonderful night - and a very generous gift! We'll always remember it!

Electroreduction of cobalt from sulfate solutions - Effect of substrate and background MgSO4
Mishra, K.G., Singh, P., Hefter, G. and Muir, D. (2002) Electroreduction of cobalt from sulfate solutions - Effect of substrate and background MgSO4. Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B: Process Metallurgy and Materials Processing Science, 33 (1). pp. 137-140.
*Subscription may be required
The effect of substrate and background magnesium sulfate on the electrocrystallization of cobalt from acidic sulfate solutions was analyzed using cyclic voltammetry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Experiments were carried out using 100 mL of solution in a 150 mL cell containing a stationary disc electrode, reference electrode and Pt spiral counter electrode. Results indicated that the influence of magnesium sulfate on the crossover or open-circuit potential was minimal when present in solution. The total current for the cathodic reduction of cobalt was independent of the presence of magnesium sulfate, even upto 1.0 M.

Boyle, Robert (1627-1691) The general history of the air London : Printed for Awnsham and John Churchill ..., 1692
Boyle's General History of the Air was published posthumously in the year following the author's death. The philosopher and friend of Boyle, John Locke, saw it through the press. While the work is a little disjointed, it does contain a number of features which are worthy of note. First, it is a Baconian-style natural history; a collection of observations and testimonies on the nature of the air. Second, it contains some of Locke's weather records and an 'Advertisement to the Reader' by Locke. Third, it reflects Boyle's interest in the relation between the air and epidemics. The manuscript for the book survives amongst Locke's papers in the Lovelace Collection at the Bodleian Library, Oxford.

Best Soul Food Menu at a Non-Soul Food Restaurant (2011)
The Foundry's Bluesy Tuesdays
Chef Eric Greenspan once said of his food, "I'm a down-home guy who happens to roam at a high-end level." It makes sense, then, that he's found a way to take a simple soul food menu and gussy it up a little in honor of Bluesy Tuesdays, the Foundry on Melrose's weekly blues and Southern rock jam session. There is, of course, fried chicken, but it comes with goat cheese waffles. There are fried green tomatoes with watermelon and blue cheese and creamed corn sweetened with caramelized onions, as well as a barbecue pork-belly sandwich on which the fried pickles make all the difference. It may not be exactly Grandma's Sunday supper, but we think she'd give it her blessing. One would be wise to order the Yippy Cay, one of the night's specialty cocktails, which packs a surprising cayenne kick. 7465 Melrose Ave., Mid-City. (323) 651-0915, thefoundryonmelrose.com.

To Kaznelson's original suggestion of nineteen years ago, that splenectomy is a curative measure in thrombopenic purpura, little more has been added.

Although we are essentially concerned with the primary form, the existence of the secondary form is of the utmost diagnostic importance for the reason that in this secondary form splenectomy is not only contraindicated but may be actually harmful.

A conscientious Thanksgiving feast is easy.
President Obama will get a break from "Obamacare" when he pardons the traditional Thanksgiving turkey. Each of us also can set aside our cares by pardoning a turkey and choosing a nonviolent Thanksgiving observance — one that gives thanks for our good fortune, health and happiness with a life-affirming, cruelty-free feast of vegetables, fruits and grains.
And here are more terrific reasons:
• You will stay alert through the entire football game.
• You are what you eat. Who wants to be a "butterball"?
• Your vegetarian kid won't have to boycott the family dinner.
• You won't have to call the Poultry Hotline to keep your family alive.
• You won't sweat the environment and food-resource devastation guilt trip.
• You won't spend a sleepless night wondering how the turkey lived and died.
• Your body will welcome a holiday from saturated fat, cholesterol and hormones.
Our own dinner this Thanksgiving will feature a "Tofurky," lentil roast, mashed potatoes, corn stuffing, stuffed squash, candied yams, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. An Internet search on "vegetarian Thanksgiving" got us more recipes and other useful information than we could possibly use.

Taken in whole, Moore's oeuvre constitutes a kind of counter-propaganda, a transmission from behind enemy lines. While most mainstream media try to inculcate a passive consumerist stupor, Moore shakes the viewer awake. It is just another of the ironies of the disinformation age that the author employs the machinery of the media industry--Fox television, Random House books--to broadcast a call for its practical destruction. "I have to travel on roads that I don't own," Moore explains, "and try to avoid being shoved off those roads... Ultimately, they'll allow me to be there as long as there are millions of Americans who want to hear what I have to say."
Moore has almost nothing to say about the grim comedy passing for this season's presidential election--the inevitable ascension of the two-headed candidate Moore calls Billy Bob Dole Clinton. "It's very disappointing," he says, "and it will guarantee that we'll have the lowest turnout in any presidential election in recent memory. I don't think this election means much to anybody. It's kind of sad that in a country of 260 million people, these two guys are the best we can do... I honestly think people who choose not to vote at this point are committing an act of civil disobedience. It's not just apathy anymore." (Michael Tortorello) CP

Igor Gordic (Srdjan Todorovic) won the gold medal in shooting at the World Championship in 1991. Soon after that success he got drafted by the army as a sniper. During the war the killing of people (or like the film says:"spilling their brains out") was for him only possible under the influence of drugs. After his return he quit shooting due to seeing faces of his kills from war in every target he aimed at recognizing that the only thing he can see in any rifle is death. He continued abusing drugs and fell deeper and deeper into debts and problems with Belgrade's uprising mafia-subculture where one of his former best friends (another war veteran) is one of the heads. Sasa Gordic (Vuk Kostic), Igor's younger brother, who's at shooting at least as good as Igor is preparing for a contest in France. The need of money for more drugs makes his brother sell the shooting stand the two brothers inherited by their father. As the new owner limits Sasa's access he takes Igor's rifle from war and takes law into his own hands, but the new owner of the stand is only the first victim to come in this drama. This movie is one of the best works available from the Balkans in recent times showing pretty much the situation Serbia and probably the surrounding countries (i.e. the former Yugoslavian states) were driven into by war.

Metabones Speed Booster mounts between a mirrorless camera and a SLR lens. It increases maximum aperture by 1 stop (hence its name), increases MTF and has a focal length multiplier of 0.71x. For example, the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II lens becomes a 59mm f/0.9 lens on a Sony NEX camera, with increased sharpness. The faster F-stop allows for shallow depth-of-field and a lower ISO setting for decreased noise.
Speed Booster is also particularly pertinent to ultra-wide-angle SLR lenses. The combined focal length multiplier of Speed Booster and an APS-C mirrorless camera is approximately 1.09x, making the combination almost "full-frame". Full-frame ultra-wide-angle SLR lenses largely retain their angle-of-view on an APS-C mirrorless camera when Speed Booster is used.
The optics of Speed Booster is designed by Brian Caldwell, PhD, a veteran of highly-corrected lens designs such as the Coastal Optics 60mm f/4 UV-VIS-IR APO Macro lens with exemplary MTF performance (focusing done with visible light requires no correction whatsoever for the full spectrum from UV to IR).
To clear up any potential confusion, this is NOT Sony Alpha, but Alpa of Switzerland. You will most likely be using the Kern Macro Switar 50mm f/1.8 or f/1.9 apochromat lens on this adapter.

Titration of N- and B-tropic murine leukemia viruses on sensitive and resistant cell lines has been studied by direct XC plaque assay and infective center assay. The titration of cloned B-tropic virus by infective center assay on BALB/3T3 (Fv-1b/b) and NIH/3T3 (Fv-1n/n) cells gave one-hit patterns, with 100-fold less infected NIH/3T3 cells than BALB/3T3 cells. The titration of B-tropic virus on DBA/2 cells (Fv-1n/n) was also a one-hit. The titration of a one-hit curve, and there were about 100-fold less infected BALB/3T3 cells than NIH/3T3 cells. Comparable results were obtained by titrating the cloned N-tropic virus on congenic SIM (Fv-1n/n) and SIM.R (Fv-1b/b) cells or the Gross N-tropic virus on BALB/3T3 cells. Therefore, our data indicate that the multiple-hit phenomenon described previously may not be an essential part of the Fv-1 gene restriction.

Book 1: Fire of the Wolf Book 2: Reflections of the Wolf Book 3: Legacy of the Wolf
FIRE OF THE WOLF LORI KING ISBN# 9781622410453 July 2012 Bookstrand Press www.bookstrand.com E-Book $5.99 187 Pages Erotic Romance, Paranormal, Werewolves, Menage Rating: 4 Cups
Caroline's life is thrown into the depths of hell when there is a fire in her apartment building. Her cherished friends also live there. The sexy angel who comes through the smoke to save their lives is the answer to all the questions she never dared ask.
Damon is shocked to find his mate in the middle of a fire, but not as shocked as when he discovers she is also the mate of another. Can he accept she belongs to another, or will he lose his mate before he can even claim her?
When Damon and Devin claim her as their own, will Caroline be able to accept the changes to come, or will she run? There is another who seeks revenge and believes Caroline is the perfect means to achieve it, and only trust provides the opportunity for the three to overcome.
The dynamics between Caroline, Damon, and Devin are ones to relish. From the beginning Caroline struggles with the changes, but her strength guides her. Fire of the Wolf is a buffet serving up a cocktail of emotions sure to drag the reader in and emerge them in the lives of the characters. I found the writing to be superb and the story moved smoothly along with no bumps to minimize the entertainment factor. Ms. King provides one sinfully sexy story of ménage paranormal story.

My (ex)Fiance and boyfriend of 5 years OD'd on Heroin 2 weeks ago. We were in a fight at the time. (self.MMFB)
submitted 2 years ago by missinmyowl
I don't know why I am reaching out to Reddit for this right now. I guess it is because he was an avid Reddit(er?) and was so proud when he made the front page one day lol. So here ya go Reddit. MMFB.
I was in a relationship with my boy for 5 years. The beginning of our relationship was not so great. He cheated, I stayed. He wasnt really into for the first year or so, I was. Then one day, he woke up, and started treating me really fucking amazing. I think by that point, I knew I deserved better and when he started treating me how I felt he should have, I took it for granted. I pushed him away until finally he broke up with me. He expected me to fight for it, but I saw it as a way out. 2 weeks later, he wanted me back but I wanted differently. I wanted my chance to be independent and do what I wanted to do. You see, I always put myself on the back-burner and took care of him first. When we broke up, that gave me the opportunity to do me first. I was loving it.
We still talked almost everyday and were really good friends. I was ok with just being friends but he wasnt. He never gave me the opportunity to miss him because he was always there when I needed help or someone to talk to. Again, I took this for granted. I knew he was depressed about us and that depression ran in his family. I just assumed he was ok.
When we were dating, he would use percoset recreationally. At first it was occasional, then it became more frequent. I do not like opiates and I did not like who he was when he was on them. Don't get me wrong, I am no muggle. I have struggled with my own addictions, and those happened to be uppers, not downers. We would fight constantly about this. He would argue that if I could do my drugs, he could do his. I would argue that he could never tell when I was on mine unless I told him so, whereas he was a completely different person on his. A person I didn't like. This was definitely a factor in our break-up.
When we broke up, he started using more and more. Of course he was lying to me and telling me that he was clean. But I know when someone is jammed out just by talking to them. I didn't think much of it because I knew it was just the percs, and to my knowledge, you can't really OD on percs. Right? Little to my knowledge, he was up to buying 20 30mgs a week.
After much digging around after he died, I found out that he had begun shooting percs about 2 1/2 months ago. He got really sick one day from shooting those, so he turned to booting dope. Again, He was telling everyone else about it but me. He still had the hope of us getting back together and didnt want to ruin it. Oh how I wish he would have told me. Nobody else did either.
On November 2nd, he had gone to a friend's house (a mutual friend who i had no idea was using) and went in on a bag with her. He shot up in her bathroom before he left, then went home. A friend (who definitely does NOT use) was gonna come by and hang out with him, maybe grab a beer and catch up. The friend found him in the apartment with a needle turning blue. 911 was obviously called and he was pronounced dead 45 minutes later.
So the guilt trip begins. I cannot stop coming to the conclusion that this is all my fault. I won't hear it from any of you that it was not. I knew when we were together that he was depressed and suicidal. I pushed him away from me so that I could go about doing my own thing KNOWING that he had a history of depression. His addiction was controlled when he was with me, and spiraled out of control because of me. This is nor even bringing up the point that we were not talking when this happened. I was even about to apologize to him because of the fight we had but was always too busy at work or forgot about it before I was able to. The night he died, he had a conversation (with the person who went in with him) about a friend of ours who had lost his boyfriend in March. He said (about our friend) that it was a shame that (our friend) was still stuck in his depression 6 months later and not moving on. He said that a person's death is meaningless if their loved ones forget to live the lives they were supposed to because of the grief that overcomes them. I took this to be a verbal note. Maybe I am wrong, but it seems that in his state of mind, he may not have had a death wish, but didn't care whether he stayed or went.
Though we were not together at the time, I loved him and will continue to love him very much. During the most recent fight we were having, before i decided to apologize, I started to miss him. The one thing I wanted and he wouldn't allow me to do. Now it is too late and I will miss him always. He treated me like a princess and I never saw it until now. I will forever regret taking him for granted and causing the deep depression that (I believe) ended his life. I killed him and I am forever sorry. I cannot bear this burden that I carry.

Honey, it seems like he knew that you would get him to /stop/ using, because he didn't want to tell you. Drug abuse is NOT the person! A history of depression is not caused by a single person. It's internal. And drug abuse is a symptom of it. Drug addiction does not 'go away' when a single thing in a person's life changes. He would still have been addicted even if you were with him, and he still would have been depressed unless he got medical treatment.
You seem to be the reason he was trying to keep his life together. You are not to blame for his using. You are also not to blame for being loved. He loved you, that is why he treated you well.
And lastly, I've been in that position as the only means of support for someone. It's not a healthy place to be, and don't let his death stop you from protecting yourself in the future. Even though you two weren't together, you said he was in your life all the time - you never 'missed' him because he was there. Recall those times - those were probably the happiest for him! And you didn't push him away so far that you didn't see him, you just weren't codependent with him.
He loved you, and you loved him - regardless of whether you openly showed it, he knew. It's sad that he died, and unfortunate that the society around us does not provide care for those with mental illness, but you provided him with a great deal of comfort throughout your entire relationship - whether "together" or not. Take care of yourself, and meditate on your memories together fondly.
[–]spentrentbentspoons 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I am sorry for your loss and it absolutely is not your fault. As a heroin addict I can tell you that I love my partner dearly and we fight a lot. Thoughts of suicide crop up all the time, because I am a fuck-up not because of anyone else. Accidents happen too, when you use you gamble your life all the time. Nearly every heroin addiction spirals out of control at some point, that's what separates recreation from addiction. If you took him back it still had just as much chance of happening. When we lose someone we love of course all the 'what ifs' are going round and round in our head. That's normal. You're grieving. Please try to be gentle on yourself as much as you can at this time (easier said than done, right?) It was not your fault.

Nexus 7 Mail
After some sort of update (not sure which one) I have lost the ability to add new e-mail addresses. The original e-mail app is now missing. G-mail is the only app on the screen and it will not allow any additions, that is not with my skills. Do you think I should hard reset the unit and start all over? Appreciate the advice.
Re: Nexus 7 Mail
Have you looked in the App drawer for 'Email'? If it is there you can put the shortcut back on a screen.
If you open the 'People' app, there is an icon to add a new contact (head and shoulders with a +). Does that not allow you to add a contact? That is a place to add Google contacts. - 02-12-2013, 07:55 PM Thread Author #3
Re: Nexus 7 Mail
I'm using the Nova launcher and app drawer, but I think there was a way to hide, delete, or disable apps in the stock app drawer. Perhaps you somehow did something to it. Try looking for it in Settings > Apps > All (swipe screen right to left to get to 'All'). If you see 'Email' touch it see what is there. If it has been disabled, enable it and maybe clear cache also. If it is not there, you may have to copy EmailGoogle.apk and EmailGoogle.odex into the /system/app and set permissions. You need to be rooted to do that and you need the two files for your OS version. I just updated to 4.2.2 and I could send you the files, but they may not work is you're not on 4.2.2.
Did you look at the People app in terms of adding contacts? -

Karachi |
When I am old and grey, I want to step out into a world where people's differences aren't questioned and stereotyped, where mediocre isn't the norm, and where people aren't dying from diseases they have the power to prevent. Karachi, 22, is a senior in college and a member of the Young Women of Color Leadership Council.
Although I grew up in a country where much wasn't said about homophobia, racism, or sexism, I witnessed my fair share of everyday injustice and inequality. I was raised as part of a large extended family; my grandparents, uncles, and aunts all did their best to make sure I did not feel the absence of a father - he had left my mother and I when I was only a year old and died the year I turned nine. Growing up as part of a bigger picture, I learned to understand the need for compassion and acceptance. I made friends with people around me quickly; I was a quiet but amiable child who constantly daydreamed about growing up to be wealthy and influential, but only so I could open my home to the beggars and destitute on the street as some kind of halfway house. I was introduced to advocacy for the first time at the 2009 Advocates for Youth Urban Retreat. I had previously been working as part of a community-oriented organization dedicated to educating the students at Morgan State University about the dangers of STDs/STIs and HIV/AIDS but I'd never had any experience with policy advocacy. Learning that I had the right and the ability to speak my mind when I witnessed inequality and demand necessary changes was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. My personality and general philosophy have led me to naturally question phenomena around me, searching for reasons and causes, and lending a voice to the voiceless. I always ask myself "How would I feel if I was in the other person's shoes?" When I am old and grey, I want to step out into a world where people's differences aren't questioned and stereotyped, where mediocre isn't the norm, and where people aren't dying from diseases they have the power to prevent. That might mean that people like me will not be needed anymore to spread the word. It would also mean that youth advocates and activists alike everywhere have done their work properly. I am a strong believer in individuality and diversity; youth need to know that they can stand out and make a difference without waiting for someone else to take the lead. As a youth advocate, I hope to provide a good example for those around me by showing how passionate I am about rights and responsibility. What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal. - Albert Pike |

Recordings are created by recording artists, often with the assistance of record producers and audio engineers. They were traditionally made in recording studios (who are paid a daily or hourly rate) in a recording session. In the 21st century, advances in recording technology have allowed many producers and artists to create "home studios", bypassing the traditional role of the recording studio.
The record producer oversees all aspects of the recording, making many of the logistic, financial and artistic decisions in cooperation with the artist. Audio engineers (including recording, mixing and mastering engineers) are responsible for the audio quality of the recording. A recording session may also require the services of an arranger or studio musicians.
Recordings are (traditionally) owned by record companies. A recording contract specifies the business relationship between a recording artist and the record company. In a traditional contract, the company provides an advance to the artist who agrees to record music that will be owned by the company.
The A&R department of a record company is responsible for finding new talent and overseeing the recording process. The company pays for the recording costs and the cost of promoting and marketing the record. For physical media (such as CDs), the company also pays to manufacture and distribute the physical recordings.
Smaller record companies (known as "indies") will form business relationships with other companies to handle many of these tasks. If contractually bound to do so, the record company pays the recording artist a portion of the income from the sale of the recordings, generally known as a mechanical royalty. (This is distinct from the publishing royalty, described above.) This portion is similar to a percentage, but may be limited or expanded by a number of factors (such as free goods, recoupable expenses, bonuses, etc.) that are specified by the record contract.
Session musicians and orchestra members (as well as a few recording artists in special markets) are under contract to provide work for hire; they're typically only paid one-time fees or regular wages for their services, rather than royalties. Foundational text courtesy of Wikipedia.

In Memoriam: David Notkin
April 22, 2013
We are terribly sad today to mourn the loss of David Notkin: professor of computer science at the University of Washington, father, colleague, mentor, researcher, friend, and enthusiastic champion of underrepresented groups in computing and technology.
David passed away early this morning after a long battle with cancer. He will be missed by all in the NCWIT community who knew him.
Five things we'll remember about David:
- His epic beard (and sense of humor.)
- His thoughts on gender, family, and computing in Sweden.
- His well-deserved A. Nico Habermann Award.
- His 2012 FlashTalk on "flexibility."
- His long and beloved mentoring career.
P.S. David would want us take this opportunity to remind you to schedule your regular colonoscopy screening, if you're due.

In early December the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis brought me in to support its work in community engagement. Several elements were new. One was a discussion of misconceptions about the nature of community engagement. The other was specific one-on-one work with arts organizations in engagement planning. Here is the gist of the first part: The Myths Community engagement is A Fad It's true that there is an over-focus and, more … [Read more...]
Community Engagement: A Habit of Mind
Perhaps the most important requirement for newcomers to community engagement is development of a new perspective, a new way of thinking that incorporates awareness of community into all their work. This is a frame of reference that places interests of the public high enough in unconscious thought processes that they influence creative choices. It is a perspective that grows out of belief, commitment, and practice. Belief and commitment are … [Read more...]
Let (Make) the Artists Do It (?)
There is an unfortunate tendency in discussions of community engagement for an organization's first response to be that all (or most) of the work should be in the hands of its artists. I hear this presented as an assumption at many conferences, especially discipline-specific ones. This can stymie engagement efforts for two significant reasons. First, to be credible, engagement must reflect the will of the organization and be visible in all its … [Read more...]
Being Local
One (of many) ways artcentricity hinders community engagement is in its impact upon the relationship between the arts organization and its community as a whole. The "pursuit of excellence" as commonly understood often leads organizations to strive for a generic, rather than a location-specific, form of excellence. As one way of considering this, imagine a collection of season brochures or exhibition catalogs. In how many is it possible to tell … [Read more...]
Tapping FOMO
Last summer I read a NY Times article about MoMA's "Rain Room" installation. (Steamy Wait Before a Walk in a Museum's Rain) The installation itself sounded interesting, a room that "rains" but knows where people are and doesn't rain on them. In other words, no one gets wet. Fascinating technology and an intriguing experience. However, what really struck me was the new concept I learned reading the article: FOMO, Fear of Missing Out. One … [Read more...]
In the Vineyards of Diversity
In July, Barry Hessenius posted an Interview with Aaron Dworkin, on Barry's Blog. Mr. Dworkin is founder and President of the Sphinx Organization, "the leading national arts organization that focuses on youth development and diversity in classical music." I was aware of Sphinx's work in identifying and supporting young people of color who aspire to careers in the classical music world.

Engaging the Third Rail
The art. Programming. The reason artists create and arts organizations exist. The untouchable heart of the enterprise.

We never thought we'd see a sub-$100 case with tinted windows, but lo and behold, Sigma's Unicorn has lived up to its name and shown us the impossible by "blinging up" the exterior of an otherwise stale case. Like spinning rims on a minivan, however, not all of Sigma's design decisions are well thought out.
The front panel features one of the bulkiest doors we've ever seen. We guess Sigma was trying to spruce up the case's facade with the protruding front profile, but as far as we're concerned, it just extends the length of the chassis. And we're miffed that the door covers the front-panel connectors entirely.
Sigma makes another questionable choice with the heavy horizontal bar running across the case interior. The bar is designed to help hold your PCI cards in place while an 8cm fan handles the cooling. But the locking mechanisms are unnecessary, and you have to remove the entire retention bar just to install or tweak parts in your rig.
The case comes with more than enough cooling and screwless installation mechanisms to make any enthusiast happy, but no support for HD audio. And while we appreciate the hidden toolbox that rests under the case's four drive bays, it's too little, too late given the predominance of peculiarities in this not-so-magical Unicorn.
Tinted window adds flair; plenty of screwless installation options.
Unneccessary and awkward retention bar; no HD Audio support; unnecessarily-protruberant front panel.
