dc.description.abstract | Abstract Developing countries are net importers of intellectual property products and open source software (OSS) production is one way in which local socio-economic development can take place. The public goods characteristics of OSS are contested and this study investigates whether in a developing country context OSS is a pure public good that can be locally appropriated and not exclude any users or producers from doing so. This case study of an OSS public good finds that it does not have all the characteristics of a pure good, that there is a role for a sponsor, and in particular the importance of copyright protection of derivatives in order to ensure that the source code does not fall out of fashion and use. Having explored that, however, there is further evidence that OSS collaborative learning is both publically and personally beneficial for developing country computer programmers. Furthermore, the state benefits from the improved benefits of health information systems made possible through the appropriation of this model of learning. | en_US |

And to re-hijack my own thread, my g/f and I are planning our next epic adventure that will take us to Europe, Middle East and Africa. Potentially 30 countries, but in 2014.
I don't what you have in mind, but consider Iceland. Dubai/Abu Dhabi is also visit worth, although it's more of a WTF, in the desert? kinda thing.
Iceland is a definite after I saw Blue Lagoon, Gulfoss and that giant church in Reykjavik. We're going to do Dubai if we get a mandatory stop over with Emirates. But that is so far away we're just in planning stages. Unfortunately we won't be able to do Scandinavia, which I am disappointed about but also we are going through Summer so I won't see snow anyway (well I don't think).
You're still able to ski somewhere in the Aples during the summer. Glaciers above 3000m most likely has snow all year. There's one in Zell Am Zee in Austria, called Kaprun. I haven't tried it in summertime though.
I have a pending UAE trip this year. Not sure if I'm excited about that or not. I do wanna see that giant aquarium though....

Good ring This is a gorgeous ring. It is a big smaller than you may expect, but if you're someone like me who prefers not to have a huge stone then you'll be happy! It may not look right on larger hands either. I do love this ring so much though! It is absolutely perfect for me and my fiancee did so well picking it out! The one down point was the shipping! It was due to come in on the 19th, two days later he called and it was across the country! They told him it'd for sure be in by the 23rd and it did come in that time but it was stressful thinking the ring got lost!

To study the issue, the team generated mice lacking either the receptor for insulin or the receptor for IGF-1 in GnRH-producing nerve cells. Male and female mice in which the receptor for insulin had been deleted displayed normal timing of puberty and fertility, but male and female mice with the receptor for IGF-1 deleted showed delayed pubertal development but normal fertility. Furthermore, administration of IGF-1 to normal female mice triggered the onset of puberty. The authors therefore conclude that IGF-1 signaling is necessary for timely triggering of pulsatile GnRH production at puberty and that it helps coordinate puberty with a specific stage of body development.

IMMUNOLOGY: Drugs for high blood pressure of benefit in multiple sclerosis?
The hormone angiotensin II (Ang II) is a key regulator of blood pressure. Drugs that block the molecules to which Ang II binds to mediate its effects (AT1Rs) are used to treat high blood pressure. Now, a team of researchers, led by Lawrence Steinman, at Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, has identified Ang II as a molecule that sustains inflammation in the brain in mice with a disease that models multiple sclerosis.

By Vivek Wallace, Photo by Chris Farina - Top Rank -- From the day that this fight was signed, fight fans openly pondered the potential outcome of this mega fight. Cotto fans raving about his power, Shane fans raving about his speed. All sounds good in theory but then reality sets in..... On the evening of November 10th in the Mecca of sports, New York's Madison Square Garden, no comment spewed by fans of either man will matter when these two masterful pugilist step into that 'great blue abyss'. In an effort to sort out the fact from the fiction for the unbiased reader who can appreciate an unbiased writer, carefully, I examine what most fight aficionado's view as the 'Wise 5'....As in the (5) major points that any fan or betting man had better consider before attempting to put his money, or his words where his mouth is when it comes to such a huge mega fight.. Experience: In Miguel Cotto, you have a fighter who has recently shown that he can compete on a high level on a big stage. Trouble is, he's standing across from a man who has done this a countless amount of times in the past on a scale that far exceeds the one that is about to be the biggest that Cotto's ever taken part in. Zab Judah is arguably the biggest, most notable name on the resume of Miguel Cotto. Although Cotto's victory over Judah was a great performance, it pales in comparison to defeating Oscar Dela Hoya on two separate nights in very solid performances. Solidifying this point even further, it's important to note that Miguel Cotto has only been in the sport as a professional for 6 years. Mosley has been a pro for over 14 years and is still fighting at a very high level. EDGE: SHANE MOSLEY Speed: Miguel Cotto has a very deceptive speed that it's a bit hard to understand until you see him fight live, but that being said, this is easily a one horse race when you compare the two. At age 36, Shane Mosley is still faster - albeit not by much - and this is a point that Miguel Cotto has openly conceded. EDGE: SHANE MOSLEY Power: Let's just say I wouldn't want to take a flush blow from either guy. Comparing the power of these two men is not as easy as one may think. This is another one of those very deceptive issues categorically. In Cotto, fight fans are used to seeing him absolutely rock guys with jolting shots. Be it head-hunting, or body-rocking, the guy can definitely end the show when he lands flush. With Shane, fight fans are quick to note the fact that he doesn't knock out as many people. Then I have to remind them that of his 44 victories, only 7 of the fighters were able to stand for the final bell. This is a guy who started out in the 135lb range, and spent a good part of his career in the light middleweight range, a near 20 pounds heavier. Shane's speed gives him a lot of 'pop' when he cracks an opponent, and in the welterweight division, I think that'll be very evident. For the sake of being fair, I'll give a slight edge here to Cotto, but mark my words, If Mosley hurts Cotto, I GUARANTEE it's a left hook to the body. He has one of the most wicked left's to the body in the sport and it remains totally under the radar. For those who don't 'feel' that assessment, revisit the Dela Hoya fights and his Luis Collazo fight. Absolutely wicked. EDGE: MIGUEL COTTO Chin: Many feel that Cotto has chin problems but I'm more inclined to believe that his 'chinny' issues had more to do with him being smaller and weaker. As a welterweight, I've seldom seen him get rocked, but it has been much more often than I've ever seen Shane affected. Cotto does possess great power, but his punch I don't think rivals that of a prime Oscar Dela Hoya, and Shane took the best he had to offer twice without being hurt, to include that patented left hook. I think choosing Shane in this category leaves little to question. EDGE: SHANE MOSLEY Ring Generalship: The one thing that I think gives Mosley the edge in this category is the one 'wildcard' that could very well give Cotto an edge in this fight. That's Shane's age, which equates to more experience, which equates to better 'know-how' skills in the trenches. Shane has simply been in the ring more and has faced a slew of styles that the young Cotto has yet to encounter. No doubt this is Cotto's chance to shine, and he's looked great every time he's been on the 'big stage', but history says this is one pond that could prove to be far deeper than any waters the young Cotto has ever treaded. Cotto is gonna come straight and direct all night. Mosley has shown the propensity to box and/or slug at will and has the speed to pick his spots and move before he allows his opponent to hit his. Also, people seem to underestimate the fact that Shane regularly spars with Oscar Dela Hoya and is stablemates with one of the smartest boxers of our generation, Bernard 'The Executioner' Hopkins. EDGE: SHANE MOSLEY Final Analysis: In the end, the fight will highly entertain, but too many intangibles point to 'Sugar'. I see Miguel Cotto having his way at points, but Shane Mosley will use that 8 year experience gap and run away with this one. The deeper the fight goes, the better Cotto's chances, but he will not win a decision due to Shane's speed which will allow him to score many more points. Cotto will need a knockout. One that neither Oscar Dela Hoya, Winky Wright, or any other fighter has been able to get away with against Shane. Mosley has the killer instinct to close the show and I fully expect he will go out of his way to impress, particularly to setup an '08 spring showdown with Floyd Mayweather, providing he gets pass Ricky Hatton. Bob Arum said he felt that Cotto was ready for this fight based on his performance against Zab Judah. My memo to Arum...You're a great promoter, but stick to promoting. Your guess-timations will never allow you to be a prophet, or will they? Soon we'll all find out. Prediction: MOSLEY/ TKO RD9 (Got Feedback?

Red tape delayed federal network fixes to Heartbleed vulnerability by several days
DHS says it found out about the Heartbleed vulnerability at the same time everyone else did. But unlike most other organizations, it had to wade through layers of legal negotiations before it could help federal agencies fix the cyber vulnerability in their own systems.
Ken Ammon, Chief Strategy Officer, Xceedium
Agencies are getting smarter about cyber. The Homeland Security Department and General Services Administration are fine-tuning a contracting vehicle for tools that let agencies not only monitor their computer networks 24/7, but also fix things that go wrong. The umbrella term for the tools is continuous diagnostics and mitigation (CDM). Xceedium is a supplier of CDM software products. Ken Ammon, the chief strategy officer of Xceedium, told Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp what's in store for phase two of CDM.

Alan Paller, Director of Research, SANS Institute
Federal cybersecurity officials are in knots over the Heartbleed threat. The vulnerability potentially affects a common data encryption system used on internet servers. Homeland Security says federal web servers are OK. Qualys has a free online SSL Server Test that can analyze a web server. Alan Paller, director of research at the cybersecurity education firm SANS Institute, explained the threat to Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp.
Joe Thompson, National Academy of Public Administration
A House panel recently held back-to-back hearings: one with NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on the agency's budget request, and the other with the authors of a report on security at NASA centers. NASA is under pressure to show Congress it's tightening security following a high-profile case of a Chinese spy and other cybersecurity breaches that have flown under the radar. NASA requested a review of its security procedures after spotting some red flags. Joe Thompson, project director of the National Academy of Public Administration, organized the review. He told Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp about the study. Read Federal News Radio's related article.
NASA fixing security holes in oversight of foreign nationals

Universal Appeal
"The Happiest Place on Earth" seems an apt nickname, but it's already taken. Perhaps "The Cleanest Place on Earth," or "The Most Controlled Place on Earth," or "The Corporate-iest Place on Earth."
The place?
Universal City, just outside the perimeter of CityWalk. It's a bright, sunny, uplifting day, on the extrawarm side but closer to wondrously perfect than oppressively hot. The Studio City hills rise up stupendously high across the Cahuenga Pass, a steeply inclined version of Brady Bunch paradise.
You wonder if Universal manipulates the weather around here, and if maybe this is all some Truman Show illusion, life under a giant, climate-controlled, perfectly production-designed dome. But when you see the line of people who've come to apply for the job of tour guide for Universal's famous "backlot" sightseeing excursion, you know that, even here, something is not quite right.
The outdoor line goes this way and that, zigging and zagging, winding around corners, following the contours of outside walls, jumping over a crucial tourist path and disappearing into a gated area concealing an important administration building. Some 800 job seekers show up today. Many of the most alluring, exploitative reality-show cattle-call auditions don't reach these numbers.
But this job has opened in an economy that is so bad, it has former computer techs, office assistants, waiters and others in line scrambling for a buck. It's quite a sight. Included are clean-cut young men in crisp suits; leathery, tattooed roughnecks in tank tops; kids barely out of their teens; senior citizens; characters holding ukuleles and wearing giant sunglasses; people with sharp-angled soap-opera looks; and folks who look like background in some David Lynch–ian carnival world.
Universal doesn't open the employment window for tour guides very often. When it happens, many applicants see the chance to bark fun facts and punch lines at dazzled tourists in mechanized amusement-park carts as a job that offers a certain theatrical visibility and entertainment-schmoozing potential.
On this day, friendships are made on the gargantuan line, in which people near the end wait nearly four hours.
"I heard it pays 30 bucks an hour or more," says Devon Lucas, 50, a guitarist in a rock & roll lounge/cover band from Glendora. Lucas exudes a salt-of-the-earth quality and his statement piques the excitement of several line-mates. They didn't expect such a high number.
"Well, it's basically skilled acting work," Lucas continues. "They must be paying like it's a 'talent' gig."
Others in line nod. Their yearning grows.
"I honestly thought this would be a room full of maybe 10 people," says Pat Mellon, a comedian and former radio personality in his late 30s. "When I first arrived, I thought that all of these people couldn't possibly want this one particular job and that the line must be for something else."
Mellon has the air of a naturally comedic maître d', with an impressive bald head, slightly befuddled eyes and a mischievous, rubbery face.
A little earlier, overwhelmed by the long, slow line, Mellon almost gave up. "At some point in these things you have to assess if the end would justify the means. If I actually get this job as tour guide, will it have been worth standing in a three-hour line, or, more importantly, if I don't get the job, will I be thinking that it had been ridiculous and then become even more jaded about life in L.A.?"
Mellon sees crossover potential here for his real creative passion. "I could basically do a set of comedy every time the tram started moving, for several audiences a day. As a comic, you love to have an audience, and a captive audience is a comic's dream."
More than an hour later, Mellon makes it into the inner sanctum — a building with grand marble hallways and a massive sitting room, resembling a cross between an aggressively showy corporate headquarters and a pricey-yet-gauche Mediterranean-style resort.
Was it worth the wait?
His description afterward of the climactic moment: "My interview was about 45 seconds long. There was a little small talk, like, 'Long line, huh?' and then he said, 'What makes you want to be a tour guide?'
"I answered, 'Lifelong dream, love the park, great with people. ...'
"And then he said, 'What is your favorite movie?'
"I said, Airplane!
"And he paused and said, 'Well, thanks for coming in.' "
Mellon was among those not hired.
The job, it turns out, pays about $10 an hour.

A top House Republican said Sunday that an attempted car bombing in New York City might have been tied to a controversial episode of "South Park."
Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), the ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, said that a car bomb found Saturday night in Times Square might have been the work of Islamic extremists who were upset over an episode of the Comedy Central series that attempted to depict the prophet Muhammad.
Two episodes of "South Park" sought to depict the Islamic prophet, retreading a similar attempt several years ago, but was censored by Comedy Central for broadcast. The show's creators sought to show an uncensored version online, but were not allowed.
The network censored the broadcast out of security concerns after "Revolution Muslim," an Islamic group based in New York, had warned of retribution over the episode.
Islamic law prohibits depictions of the prophet. Depictions of the prophet in Dutch newspapers sparked riots several years ago, and Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh was murdered in 2004 for having produced a documentary that was critical of Muslims.
King said he expected the investigation into the car bomb, which did not explode and has been described as "crude," to proceed quickly.
"Fortunately, a lot of evidence was left behind, and you have the best police force in the world with the NYPD and the joint terrorism task force in New York on top of it, and they will be moving as quickly as they possibly can," he said. "And we can be sure it will be a thoroughly exhaustive and professional investigation."

New York is teeming with celebrities. Anyone know where they all live? Well, it's not very New York to care, really. We just assumed they were always within earshot (which is why we always lower our voice when talking about Paul Giamatti). There was this New York Magazine map back in 2006, but since then we haven't seen much in the way of those Hollywood maps everyone buys in LA.
Enter Rentenna, a search tool for New York apartments, who's made a handy-dandy map of their own. EV Grieve received the press release:
Rentenna's first-ever New York City Star Map features the buildings of over 100 celebrities across Manhattan and Brooklyn, so everyone can look up their famous neighbors, gloat to friends elsewhere in the country, then quickly go back to pretending they never cared in the first place.
Yep, we def don't care. (OMG do you think Jon Stewart and Jeremy Piven hang out?! Maybe Al Pacino and Nora Ephron?! Ooh and look! David Schwimmer's apartment! The historical one he basically destroyed! Wow!) Whatever.
Also, no celebrities ever live in the Bronx, Queens or Staten Island, apparently (and Brooklyn got a tiny mention, but it's a start).

Department of Religious Studies
Greetings Everyone,
I hope your semester is starting off on the right foot! We will be having a Religious Studies Club meeting next Tuesday, February 19, at 7:00 p.m. outside Java City in the library.
We've got a few exciting things for the semester planned, including tabling in the library, a panel on created worlds, and a karaoke fundraiser!
But we're really trying to knock this semester out of the park. So I want everyone to bring two ideas with them about either fundraisers or activities we can do! The last meeting we tossed around the idea of having a movie night fundraiser around Easter as well.
I can't wait to hear your ideas! Don't forget to buy your departmental T-shirts in the office from Linda.

A 16-year-old boy in Scranton, Pa., is accused of fatally shooting a cab driver who refused to take a shortcut.
Speaking to reporters as he was led to court by police, Aazis Richardson, who was charged as an adult, said he told driver Vincent Darbenzio to take a quicker route early Friday.
"He didn't want to listen, he got his [expletive] shot," Richardson said, according to video of his exchange with reporters. Richardson told police that he felt the driver was intentionally running up the meter.
He is accused of firing two shots into the back of Darbenzio's head and then fleeing with about $500 from Darbenzio's pocket.
When asked by reporters if he had an explanation, Richardson responded: "Cause that's what I do to people that don't listen."
On Friday night, Richardson was arraigned on murder and robbery charges. "I feel my homies die, everybody got to die," Richardson said to television cameras.
Darbenzio, 47, had started driving for McCarthy Flowered Cabs about a month ago, said his brother James Darbenzio.
"He was a good man, a master mechanic," James Darbenzio, 51, told the Los Angeles Times by phone from Scranton. "He used to work across town at a garage, but he quit his job and he loved the new one. It was all he talked about -- the funny people and the stuff they would do on rides."
Darbenzio is also survived by another brother and a sister.
James Darbenzio said his brother was well-liked in the small community of Scranton. "You live in Scranton all your life, you know everybody."
As far as Richardson's comments on tape, Darbenzio was terse: "I didn't like those comments that the person said."
Pennsylvania law requires firearms owners to be at least 18 years old, and the 9-millimeter handgun Richardson is accused of using was unlicensed, prosecutors said.
A co-worker concerned that Darbenzio wasn't responding to his radio found the cab outside the housing complex where Richardson was to be dropped off. Darbenzio's body was keeling over through an open door, his head touching the ground and his feet still by the pedals.
Hours later, Scranton police found Richardson hiding in an attic after tracking him down using the cellphone number that had called for the cab. The gun was by his side, and he admitted that a stain on his jeans was from the driver's blood, according to a court filing posted online by the Scranton Times-Tribune. The money he was said to have stolen was not immediately found.
"It's really inconceivable when you look at the motive for this particular case, that being over a $7 cab fare that he thought he was being gypped off on," Lackawanna County Dist. Atty. Andy Jarbola said at a televised news conference Friday.
Scranton Police Chief Carl Graziano said that all murderers are cold, "but this particular defendant exceeds all measurable levels of coldness."
Richardson is being held at Lackawanna County Prison and is scheduled to return to court Friday. Police were investigating whether he was involved in a triple slaying in New Jersey.

Champions League tickets applications are on sale now at the address above. For general information go here: http://www.uefa.com/competitions/ucl/ticketing/newsid=664977.html?cid=newsletter&att=html Tickets are pretty expensive. 200 euro + 40 euro service fee this year for sideline. You have until March 19th to apply.
I've been thinking going to the CL final, but I was concerned about the hassle apparently associated with getting a visa while not knowing whether I would actually get tickets (probably wouldn't knowing my luck in these ticket lotteries). http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1006.html Anyone have experience with getting a Russian entry visa?
I don't have any experience myself. But i don't think it's too tough to get. And there should be plenty of time to get one after you've found out if you were successful in the ticket lottery.
man, I am SO close to Russia (At least relative to the States), but there's no way I can go since my teaching holiday begins the 23rd and not the 21st! SOO frustrating Unless....did anyone here go to Moscow for our game last season? Is it reasonable for me to fly out of England on Tuesday afternoon and get back Thursday evening?
You will have about 45 days after you get the e-mail saying you have tickets to get the visa. I have friends who recently went and it took them about two weeks by mail. If you are in the DC, NY or SF (and there may be other cities with Russian consulates) metro areas I am told you can appear at the embassy or consulate and get it within two days. As for the sponsor, as soon as you have hotel reservations, they will take care of this for you. I think the Russians just want to know you have a place to stay and that they won't be picking you up off the street. It is also possible that there are special arrangements being made for the CL Final.
I went and it could be possible to do the trip out Tues, back Thurs - likely to be expensive though. If you check some of the internet sites for flights, as well as direct flights from the UK, look for flights from Germany which are often a lot cheaper. Loads of flights from UK to Germany and train system is good there if you need to switch airports. There are travel agents in London who will get you a visa/hotel sorted in about 3 days for a handling fee of about £60 - well worth it.
Hey Doug, German Wings and Air Berlin are the main ones. They fly from quite a few other European countries too. There are some different budget airlines that fly from Italy too.
Has anyone heard back from UEFA? The web site said you would get a reply by April 2. I haven't gotten anything at all.

Each event's main are five 5 minute rounds with 1 minute rest breaks, not just title fights anymore. So for 25 minutes of fighting they get 4 minutes of rest. Boxing 12 round title fights are 3 minute rounds, broken up with 1 minute of resting. 36 minutes of fighting with 11 minutes of rest. Even the lower prelim fights, 15 minutes of fighting, 2 minutes of rest compared to 30 minutes of fighting and 9 minutes of rest and repairs. There's a lot more recovery time/down time in boxing during the match. I would say the "pace" is determined by the fighter, to me the Mayweather fight was boring, uneventful and did nothing to make me want to watch boxing more. There are MMA fights like that also, and then there's some great ones. If you don't understand the "laying around" portion of the sport, or the "push him against the fence" part, then you'll not enjoy it as much. I've practiced BJJ for nearly 7 years now in a local school ran Royce Gracie and Tosh Cook. To me the "laying around" part is very entertaining (sometimes they do just suck), plus I did wrestling all throughout my life. Not as many people understand it as much as a right cross to the jaw or kick to the head, and don't get me wrong, those are fun to watch also.
Butterbean did fight MMA, entertaining freakshow type fights in Japan. Started like 8-1-1 before losing a bunch. Much like Bob Sapp... http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Eric-Esch-9394 14-10
Late to the party but I prefer to watch Boxing over MMA. Mostly because I can Box (hardest sport BTW), but would never even try MMA. Not really a fan of having my ears turn to cauliflower.
That's more of a wrestler thing than anything else. Most BJJ guys don't have that, but most wrestlers do. Some people, like Randy Couture, like the look and never drained them. I never did and wore the "***** headgear" so I didn't get that crap. Just about every MMA fighter with a wrestling background has them. Chuck Liddell never had them, and wrestled/fought for years, but he and Brock Lesnar (awesome college wrestler) never got them. Look at Damien Maia, one of the best in the world in BJJ on the ground for years: Getting fat, ugly ears is no excuse for not want to train in the better if the two sports, wear protection
Ehhhh. Depends on the ref. There have been a few fights called to early. But overall most the time when they do call it, the other guy has gotten a beating for the last 10-20 seconds while not defending. Also if you do get even slightly KOed, it's better to stop the fight instantly then allowing them to get back up and take repeated damage to the brain. That's what makes boxing so dangerous.

Talk about two teams with something to play for. When Northeastern University and Boston College square off for the Beanpot championship next Monday night, both will have plenty of incentive.
The Northeastern Huskies (8–13-3), after knocking off Boston University for the first time in 16 Beanpot contests, are looking to end 25 years of frustration and bring their first Beanpot crown to Huntington Avenue since 1988. There's also a measure of revenge, as BC broke the hearts of the Northeastern faithful when it edged the Huskies in overtime 7–6 in the 2011 final.

Case Management
October 19-25, 2014 is Poisoning Prevention Week! Lead Free Kids for a Healthy Future! For more information on the Prevention of Lead Poisioning, see the EPA website. Have your child tested at 12 months and 24 months of age, and anytime up to 6 years of age if they have never been screened before. |
What is Lead Poisoning, and how do I get it?
Lead Poisoning is a preventable condition caused by eating something contaminated by lead, or breathing in lead dust. Lead poisoning often occurs with no obvious symptoms, and frequently goes unrecognized. Lead poisoning can damage the brain, kidneys and nervous system of young children. Low levels of lead poisoning can cause learning and behavioral problems. Very high levels of lead poisoning can cause retardation, convulsions, coma and even death.
How do I know if my child has lead poisoning?
The ONLY way to know if your child has lead poisoning is to have a blood test. Most children with lead poisoning do not look or act sick.
You can get your child tested for lead at local Public Health sites by appointment. Ask your doctor for an order and then call for an appointment.
In San Luis Obispo, call 781-5500. For Paso Robles, call 237-3050. For Grover Beach, call 473-7050.

The good news is that London will be hosting a suite of events featuring Elain Paige, maria Friedman and Alexander Armstrong as part of the London Festival of Carabet. The bad news is that the festival wont be arriving for months yet. At least that gives you plenty of time to book tickets, but anticipation is going to be brutal.
The festival will run from October 22 until November 15 with events taking place in a variety of venues across London.
Other acts taking part include Elaine Paige, Maria Friedman and Barb Jungr.
Armstrong will appear in Alexander Armstrong and his Band Celebrate the Great British Songbook from October 28 to 31 at the St James Theatre, where Friedman will give a masterclass in performing cabaret on October 25.
Friedman said: Cabaret is a unique way for an artist to hone their communication skills, allowing the audience an up-close, concentrated, in-the-moment experience.

That ties in with why we have a 50-ohm coaxial line standard for most 2-way communications purposes and it probably dates back to the Quackenbush era. 50-ohms represents the mean value between 30-ohms for best peak power handling and 77-ohms for lowest loss. The arithmetic mean is 53.5, and the geometric mean is 48 ohms. Roughly split the difference and round to the nearest whole number and we get 50-ohms. When the application is Rx only, all else being equal, 75-ohm lines offer the lowest loss for a coaxial cable and the reason we see this Zo for CATV, Satellite TV, over-the-air VHF/UHF reception, etc. Paul, W9AC _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |

Fontenelle Fire in Wyoming
June 27, 2013
The Fontenelle Fire was discovered on June 24, 2012, in Bridger-Teton National Forest about 33 miles (53 kilometers) northwest of LaBarge, Wyoming. By June 29, it had burned 22,826 acres (9,237 hectares). The fire, which was likely started by a downed power line, was moving rapidly through dead timber and had affected gas, oil, and helium production in the area. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite captured this image of the fire on June 28, 2012. Thick smoke, partially obscured by clouds, is visible blowing toward the northeast. The red outlines indicate hot spots where MODIS detected the unusually warm surface temperatures associated with fires.

"I'm really not a very opinionated person," said the most controversial law professor in America. Swiveling his chair ninety degrees, Lino Graglia leaned back almost to horizontal, his gaze fixed on a splendid photograph of Delicate Arch in southeastern Utah that hung on the wall of his office at the University of Texas School of Law. "I pride myself on my humility," he said, invoking a word not normally associated with law professors (especially not this one). "I don't claim to have the answer on difficult policy issues like abortion, school prayer, and restriction on pornography, except that these issues should not be resolved by judges. I do have a strong opinion that anything that is done dishonestly ought not to be done."
What the 67-year-old constitutional law scholar thinks is especially dishonest is the use of racial preferences under the guise of helping the disadvantaged, who are seldom in fact the beneficiaries. "Race is not a proxy for disadvantage," he says. His conviction that affirmative action is a euphemism for racial discrimination led him to say, at a September student forum—that blacks and Hispanics "are not academically competitive with whites," and that they "have a culture that seems not to encourage achievement. Failure is not looked upon with disgrace." In another time or place, these remarks might have passed unnoticed. Sprinkle a little sympathy, stir in some hedging words, and they are not so different from what many authorities on race in America are saying today. (Glenn Loury, a prominent black economist, wrote in a recent issue of New Republic: "Unless we candidly acknowledge that a pathological and debilitating subculture exists within our inner cities—a culture that robs its adherents of any chance to break away from their marginal status—we will be wasting our time.") But Graglia's comments came at the worst possible time for UT, the exact moment that the landmark 1996 case of Hopwood v. Texas took effect and the university became ground zero in the nationwide battle over affirmative action.
In that case, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the affirmative-action admissions policy at Graglia's own law school. It ruled that Cheryl Hopwood, a white woman who was denied a place in the school's entering class of 1992 despite having better grades and test scores than many minority students who were admitted, had been the victim of discrimination. Said the court: "The law school has presented no compelling justification … that allows it to continue to elevate some races over others, even for the wholesome purpose of correcting perceived racial imbalance in the student body," The impact of Hopwood has been dramatic: This fall's entering class has only 4 black students and 26 Hispanics, down from 31 and 42, respectively, a year earlier. The law school has spent much of the year doing damage control, trying, without much success, to convince minority politicians, alumni, and students that there wasn't anything the school could do about it.
It turned out that there was one thing UT's leaders could do about it, and that was vent their frustration upon Lino Graglia. The university's critics could do the same. In the days that followed Graglia's remarks, the Reverend Jesse Jackson flew in to address an anti-Graglia rally: "isolate him as a moral and social pariah … . We are not the problem. He is the problem." UT leaders and faculty joined in a public shunning of the law professor. The chairman of the board of regents and the chancellor of the university called Graglia's comments "abhorrent," a Hispanic regent called for the suspension, both the main UT faculty and fifty member of the law school faculty adopted statements disavowing Graglia's views, his own dean publicly rebuked him, and still the furor would not subside. Students attended teach-ins. The New Yorker magazine even dispatched a writer to the provinces to see what all the fuss was about.
What all the fuss is really about is not Lino Graglia but Hopwood and the threat that it will result in the resegregation of America's elite universities. A similar lawsuit has been filed against the University of Michigan. California's Proposition 209, which eliminated affirmative action in that state by prohibiting any form of racial discrimination, recently survived a challenge in the U.S. Supreme Court. (There is one black student in the first-year class at the law school at Berkeley.) Other states, including Texas, will no doubt be debating a version of Proposition 209 in their next legislative sessions. Doors are closing all across the country, and if the enrollment statistics at the UT law school are any indication, black America stands to lose 87 percent of its gains.
For the University of Texas, the stakes are high. University officials fear that the number of black and Hispanics on campus will fall below the critical mass necessary for the school to be perceived as a hospitable environment by prospective minority students. This likelihood is greater for blacks than Hispanics; there is a history of hostility to blacks that UT has never quite overcome. The prospect of a law school without black students raises the specter of Sweatt v. Painter, the 1950 Supreme Court case that overturned an attempt by the State of Texas to prevent Heman Sweatt, a black applicant, from enrolling at the law school. Instead, the state established an unaccredited law school at Texas Southern University in Houston. A unanimous court ordered Sweatt admitted to UT, but he left in 1951 after being subjected to racial slurs, tire slashings, and cross burnings. Not until recent years has UT made diversity—a polite synonym for racial preferences—a high priority, only to find the university prohibited by Hopwood from actively pursuing it. Ever hypersensitive to politics, UT officials fear that a drop in black and Hispanic enrollment will trigger a backlash by minority legislators that will cost the university political support, reduce its state funding, and erode its status as a flagship university. But the only way to

Josette du Pres (or Josette Collins) was a character played primarily by Kathryn Leigh Scott during the 1795 flashback on the cult TV serial Dark Shadows.
Josette and Barnabas[edit]
Born in 1774 in France, her widowed father was Andre du Pres (David Ford) a wealthy sugarcane planter on the Caribbean island of Martinique. Raised by her father and her paternal aunt, the Countess Natalie du Pres (Grayson Hall), the lovely and sympathetic Josette came to Collinsport, Maine in 1795 to marry Barnabas Collins (Jonathan Frid).
Though Barnabas had become engaged to Josette following an earlier visit to Martinique, he had there enjoyed a brief dalliance with his fiancée's personal maid, Angélique Bouchard (Lara Parker), who was secretly a witch. When Angélique arrived in Collinsport, she immediately invited Barnabas to rekindle their relationship. However, Barnabas rejected her, declaring that he had always loved Josette but had been unsure of Josette's love for him in Martinique.
Furious with jealousy, Angélique first tried to kill Barnabas and then hexed Josette, so that she fell in love with Barnabas's young uncle, Jeremiah Collins (Anthony George), and he with her. Jeremiah and Josette eloped and were married; this incited Jeremiah and Barnabas to duel, ending in Jeremiah's death. Still under the witch's spell, Josette disavowed her previous love for Barnabas, exclaiming that she would always love Jeremiah.
The Tragedy of Josette[edit]
Through a series of machinations, Angelique tricked the broken-hearted Barnabas to marry her. But once he discovered his new wife was a witch, Barnabas shot Angélique, planning to reunite with a now more receptive Josette. Believing herself to be dying, the witch cursed Barnabas, he died shortly after and rose as a vampire. His first act as a creature of the night was to strangle Angélique.
Grief-stricken, Josette readied herself to leave Collinsport with Natalie. Once bitten by Barnabas, Josette prepared to become his bride, though she clearly did not understand that Barnabas was now a vampire. Angélique caused Josette to have grotesque visions of herself as a vampire. Realizing at last what Barnabas was asking of her, and horrified and inconsolate, Josette committed suicide by jumping off the precipice at Widow's Hill.
The Strange Lives of Josette[edit]
Barnabas Collins summoned the ghost of his lost love to his side not long after her death. But the now disfigured dead Josette begged him to be allowed to return to her grave. Horrified, the vampire allowed her to go to her rest. But the spirit of Josette was not yet at peace. Over the years, she was said to haunt the Old House. Often, her ghost was said to warn Collins family members of impending death or other misfortune. During the early days of the series, the ghost of Josette, dressed in white, sometimes appeared to young David Collins (David Henesy).
In a later storyline, the ghost of Quentin Collins (David Selby) killed David and drove the Collins family out of their mansion. Barnabas traveled back in time to 1897 to prevent these events by changing history. During this storyline, he falls in love with Lady Kitty Hampshire, who resembles Josette. When Barnabas learned that Lady Kitty actually is Josette, they are transported back in time to the night Josette committed suicide. Barnabas managed to prevent Josette from jumping off of Widow's Hill. Unfortunately, Barnabas was soon captured by the Leviathans. Josette became disconsolate at Barnabas' disappearance and committed suicide by drinking poison. In the present (1970), the Leviathans claim that they are keeping Josette hostage in the past, leading Barnabas, Julia and Maggie to attempt to contact the spirit of Josette in a séance to learn if she was indeed held prisoner. Josette appears to Barnabas for one final time, telling him that the Leviathans are not holding her prisoner. She parts with Barnabas by telling him to let her go and focus on his own future.
Josette re-appeared in the 1840 parallel time storyline. In this alternate reality, Barnabas never became a vampire and married Josette. Barnabas had died but Josette was still alive as an elderly widow. Her son Bramwell was the protagonist dealing with a curse placed upon the family by their ancestor Brutus Collins. Josette also had an illegitimate child by Barnabas' cousin Justin Collins named Melanie. Justin offered to divorce his wife, Flora Collins (Joan Bennett), but Josette insisted he remain married and gave Melanie to Justin and Flora to raise as a foundling. Flora was never aware of Melanie's parentage. Justin's sister, Julia Collins (Grayson Hall) learned years earlier.
Other appearances[edit]
The character then returned in the 2009 audio drama Final Judgement released by Big Finish Productions.

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Kris Chatterson posts installation photos from the exhibition Jackie Gendel: Revenge of the Same at Jeff Bailey Gallery, New York, on view through February 9, 2013.
The gallery notes that the works in the exhibition "depict archers, views of bustling crowds framed through abstract geometries or broken waves, and at the "high water mark", the repeated image of a woman carrying a man (later a man carrying a woman, and a woman carrying a woman) through waist-high waters. As in Gendel's previous portraits, a change of gender or historical location may occur in a sleight-of-hand gesture of the brush, entire compositions lifted from art historical motifs may be repeated. Characters within Gendel's narrative "revenge of the same" change roles between protagonists, victims and spectators, in addition to changing gender, ethnicity and origin."
William Eckhardt Kohler blogs about the "weekend" exhibition Mark, Wipe, Scrape, Shape at Spaceshifter - the studio of painter Sangram Majumdar.
Kohler features "11 painters, Michael Berryhill, Gideon Bok, Matt Bollinger, Katherine Bradford, Tom Burckhardt, Jackie Gendel, Amy Mahnick, Majumdar, Kyle Staver, Didier Williams and Karla Wozniak, work in a variety of idioms; perceptual, abstract, poetical, narrative and conceptual... The dominant tone of these artists' orientation is that of idiosyncratic visionaries, rolling up their sleeves and forging a personal understanding of what painting can do. What is demonstrated here is that the newness is in what each artist brings to the table as each their own brilliant self; original rather than ideological or radical."
Howard Hurst reviews the exhibition Four Paintings featuring a single painting each by Britta Deardorff, Jackie Gendel, Juan Gomez, and Eric Sall at Regina Rex, Ridgewood, Queens, New York, on view through June 3, 2012.
Hurst writes that "these four local artists were chosen because they share something in common. In their work we see an exuberance and willingness to go for it. In a city full of art and its accompanying history... it is easy to ignore or be crushed by the weight of what has come before. It is refreshing then to see artists, both young and old who go for the gusto. To make art is to open oneself up to the ability to make mistakes; the four painters on display remind us that it is ok to make things with abandon."

Why is that wrong, yet hooters is ok? They both capitalize on sex and objectify women. If the girls want to work there, who cares? It is the sad truth of the world, sex sells.
