* Banjo Roots: Banjo Beginnings *
* The Ekonting: A Link to the Banjo's West African Heritage *
Please note: This is not a commercial site. I do not sell or appraise musical instruments. Please do not contact me to request that I identify and provide background information on a specific instrument in your possession and/or evaluate its worth. That's a job for an accredited professional appraiser, which I'm not. That said, I'll be glad to answer questions and discuss any subject I present here, so long as that one proviso is respected.
West African Folk & Artisan Lutes
Throughout West Africa, folk lutes are generally played by men in rural villages for personal and social entertainment. Some are primarily associated with hunter societies, herders or farmers. Related artisan lutes are played by non-griot traditional musical artisans-- that is, professional/semi-professional musicians and praise-singers who are not members of a griot family, and/or belong to a people which does not have a griot caste and tradition.
Up to the present, the conventional wisdom has been that the forbearers of the banjo were the ngoni/xalam-class lutes of the griots. However, new findings indicate that the rich diversity of folk and artisan lutes-- which have never received the same attention as their griot cousins-- may prove to be more fertile ground in the search for the banjo's West African roots.
There several major factors which distinguish folk lutes and artisan lutes from those of the griot class:
The aforementioned distinctions are also evident in the gambra lute played by Mauritania's haratin, black/mulatto Mauritanians descended from freed slaves. Whereas the tidinit lute of the Moorish iggawin (the bardic entertainers' caste) is a wood body instrument akin to the West African griot lutes, the haratin gambra (also genbra) is a single-string folk lute with a round gourd body.
Examples of West African folk/artisan lutes include:
Recycled Metal Can Bodied
The plucked lutes of black North Africa, such as the Gnawa guinbri of Morocco and Algeria and the Sudan Tunis gombri of Tunisia are close relatives of the West African folk/artisan lutes.
Playing Styles
There are different approaches to playing folk/artisan lutes. Some, like the Hausa komo and garaya, are played with a stiff leather plectrum. Others, such as the Manjak bunchundo, Balanta kusunde and Gwari kaburu are played with the fingers.
Of special note is the traditional Jola approach to playing their gourd folk lute, the akonting. It's a "down picking" finger style called o'teck that's akin to the stroke style, the oldest style of playing of the banjo which the early blackface minstrels learned from African American slave musicians in the 1830s and '40s. The stroke style survived in Southern folk tradition where it's best known as clawhammer or frailing.
Non-Griot Professional Musicians & Praise-Singers
All throughout sub-Sahara Africa, most cultures have professional and/or semi-professional artisans who specialize in musical performance and praise-singing, typically men from specific families following in their fathers' and grandfathers' footsteps. While the professions of music-making and praise-singing may be relegated to low positions in the traditional pecking-order of most societies, still, they are generally recognized as legitimate vocations which are vital to the perpetuation of a given people's cultural heritage.
In the case of the Hausa of Nigeria, Niger and Ghana, there are artisan lutes that are played mostly-- though not exclusively-- by musical artisans and praise-singing bards called maka'da (singular, maka'di; derived from the term ki'di, Hausa for drumming, yet is used to signify musicians of all types) and maroka (singular, maroki; the root of this term is roko, Hausa for eulogy or praise-song). The maka'da are settled within communities with hereditary ties to specific patrons, either certain families or professions, while the maroka tend to be freelance itinerants.
Like most traditional professional/semi-professional musicians and praise-singers throughout West Africa and the African continent as a whole, the maka'da and maroka are commonly misidentified as "griots." Veit Erlmann in his excellent essay on Hausa music in Niger forGrove Music Online clarifies this point: "An important feature of Hausa musical life is the existence of musical professionals, often incorrectly referred to as griots, who are allocated a particular position within society. Strictly speaking, even the use of the term 'professional' for these individuals can be misleading, since the degree of economic specialization does not always coincide with their assigned cultural role. Thus, many professional performers may actually derive most of their income from farming, while a farmer who depends on extra money earned through praise-singing will not usually be considered a professional praise-singer."
To be sure, there are some similarities between the griots and the Hausa musical artisans in terms of the role of their music in their respective societies and the fact that the callings of both these groups are hereditary. However, the maka'da and maroka do not constitute a rigid exclusive caste as the griots do. Likewise, while musical artisans are considered to be in the lowest rung of the traditional Hausa social order, maka'da and maroka are not "untouchables" and social pariahs in the same way that griots are in their own peoples' traditional societies.
It's worth noting that the griot phenomenon is not now nor has it ever been as widespread as once thought. As stated earlier, it is actually confined to specific Muslim peoples in only a few West African countries-- primarily Mali, Senegal, Gambia and Guinea, the heartlands of the griot tradition-- and, to a lesser extant, among the extended branches of those peoples in neighboring countries like Burkina Faso, Niger, and Guinea Bissau, where the traditional caste distinctions have waned.
Like the Hausa maka'da and maroka, most traditional West African specialists in music-making and praise singing are considered to be professional artisans, the practitioners of legitimate trades. Likewise, while these callings are, for the most part, hereditary within specific families, they are not the exclusive domain of a griot-type caste.
Yes, there are instruments that are specifically associated with non-griot traditional professional musicians and praise-singers. But their use is not the restricted province of one small social group, as in the case of the griot instruments. By way of example, the Hausa garaya lute is played by itinerant traders as well as traditional musical artisans. If anything, the instruments of the non-griot professionals are the products and embodiments of their people's vernacular musical culture and heritage.
This is especially true when it comes to the plucked lutes associated with the non-griot professional musicians and praise singers. Here we can clearly see that their overall physiology is very similar to the more generic folk lutes: mostly gourd bodies with the bridges on the top of the instrument's skin head. Likewise, the non-griot professionals tend to use the same playing techniques as their amateur counterparts. Taking all these factors into consideration, it follows then that the artisan lutes of the non-griot professionals should be classed with folk lutes.

ELON — Anything to avoid the final score.
In preparing for today's football game against Division II team West Virginia State, Elon University has focused its collective attention inward, with respect-your-opponent reminders connecting what happened in the recent past to what's waiting in the near future.
Anything, really, to avoid becoming preoccupied with a certain eye-catching annihilation from last week that, in its simplest terms, reads like this:
North Carolina A&T 77, West Virginia State 0.
"You try to keep it out of your mind as much as possible," Elon offensive lineman Gavin Billings said.
"You can't even start to look at the score," Elon receiver Jeremy Peterson said.
Elon coach Jason Swepson checked, of course. Unwinding in his office after the Phoenix took care of North Carolina Central last week, he opened his laptop and pulled up that day's list of results.
A head-shaking initial reaction followed.
"I was like, 'Sheesh,' " Swepson said, "because you know that now you've got a wounded animal coming in here trying to prove they're not what that score says they are."
The Phoenix certainly can empathize, given the 62-0 beating it suffered two weeks ago at North Carolina.
Elon responded with authority, bolting to first-half leads of 24-0 and 31-7 on N.C. Central before dialing back the throttle and cruising in with a 34-14 victory.
"And that's absolutely what I'm preaching, that, hey, we got our butt kicked at Carolina and we came out and played three solid quarters against Central," Swepson said. "So we've got to be ready to play.
"It's not about West Virginia State. It's about us. It's about our mental toughness and respecting our opponent and taking care of ourself and doing our job."
Today is Elon's last non-league game, a meaningful line of demarcation that Peterson pointed to, especially considering what the Southern Conference schedule holds for the Phoenix during the next three weeks.
At Georgia Southern.
Home against Wofford.
At Appalachian State.
Those perennial powers, which figure to again contend for the league title, all are nationally ranked among the Top 11 teams in the Football Championship Subdivision.
"And we've got them back to back to back," Peterson said. "So we definitely have to worry about ourselves right now before we actually hit conference play. We've got to make sure we clean everything up, so when we start the conference we're ready and we're hitting on all cylinders."
Elon quarterback Thomas Wilson threw only two passes after halftime against N.C. Central — both went for completions — and ultimately the Phoenix, removing its starters, gained only 5 yards from scrimmage in the second half.
If today's script goes according to plan, Billings probably will find himself among a similar second-half exodus of first-stringers.
Not that he's fixated on that.
"The thing about football is that every Saturday is a new opportunity for a team to come out and do something, prove something," Billings said. "And I know West Virginia State probably has a lot that they want to try to prove.
"So you always remember that on Saturdays everybody shows up to play."
West Virginia State (1-1) at Elon (1-1)
Kickoff: 3 p.m. today Radio: WPCM-AM 920
Where: Rhodes Stadium (capacity 11,250)
Coaches: Earl Monroe (seventh season at West Virginia State, 24-39). Jason Swepson (second season at Elon, 6-7).
Series: Elon leads 1-0
Extra points: These teams' only previous meeting resulted in a 60-13 Elon rout in September 1993. … Karl Bostick, a transfer from Akron, and Tracey Coppedge, a true freshman, ran for the first touchdowns of their Elon careers in last week's victory against North Carolina Central. … Thomas Wilson's 18 passes last week marked the fewest an Elon quarterback has attempted since November 2005. … Elon's Aaron Mellette, who missed practice time this week due to strep throat, is 95 receiving yards shy of 3,000 for his career. … Defensive line depth, a plus for Elon this season, probably will be a factor today with Jordan Jones (knee) out and Brandon Brant (turf toe) doubtful. … Elon linebacker Jonathan Spain (shoulder) wore a non-contact jersey in practice this week. … Elon's Alexander Dawson (foot), a backup linebacker from Eastern Alamance High School, is out for today. … West Virginia State defeated Johnson C. Smith 34-31 in its season opener before getting destroyed 77-0 last week at North Carolina A&T. The stats were equally lopsided. N.C. A&T held massive advantages in first downs (25-2) and total yards on offense (489-41). West Virginia had minus-12 yards of offense in the first half against the Aggies.

Thread: Today I Bought (February '09)
Today I splurged a bit!
I went to Pierre Guillaume's store here in my city, and while I didn't get to meet him (though I found out when he will come to the store next and so I will have some chance then!), I did buy his L'Ombre Fauve (Parfumerie Générale) - I think it's my favorite of his creations, though now I have the chance to try many more!
Also, I stopped around the corner to the L'Artisan boutique and bought some of the new Fleur de Liane - it's going to be a great fragrance for the spring time and summer. It has a great balance of woods and vetiver and though it has a floral edge to it, so I think it could easily be worn by men or women.

I've ordered a bottle of Le Labo Labdanum 18 for myself and a bottle of Fleur d'Oranger 27 for my girlfriend (for her birthday... datestamped as such and "formulated" by ME) . It's their bag event today and tomorrow, so they'll be arriving with a huge pile of samples, goodies, and such.

Today i ordered a bottle of Knize Sec from First in Fragrance.
MPG Racine and Hugh Parsons Blue. Got them both for about $120 from an ebay vendor.
Current faves: Aventus, Green Irish Tweed, MFK Masculin Pluriel, Dior Homme Eau
I fell out of love with Cuiron, so I sold all my stock. I liked it but did not love it anymore and it had some scent association from my past that needed to be put to rest. To keep one leather/suede frag in my huge wardrobe of 10 bottles, I finally jumped for a 100 ml bottle of Cuir Ottoman. I have almost pulled the trigger on this one for over a year now and it feels good to finally know that it is coming home to daddy. It has a slightly sweet drydown that I have found I prefer more than a dry, austere take on suede/leather.
Me so happy!

In a small specialty perfume shop, I was smelling some lighter fragrances, and I settled on Tokyo by Kenzo. It's not my usual style, and is probably made for people much younger than I am, but it appealed to me, so I popped for it.

FloorPlan 3D, a more sophisticated tool than many of its 3D-planning rivals, covers both interior and exterior design. While the packaging seems to imply that professional builders and site managers will gain the most from planning, costing and virtually rendering dwellings to be built from scratch, FloorPlan will be at least as useful for the DIYer keen to sketch out an extension.
Designing a room from scratch, let alone an entire residence, can be pretty daunting if you've little experience of draughtsmanship and are new to CAD (computer-aided design). So it's fortunate that FloorPlan comes with a clear and detailed reference manual that walks you through each and every stage of the process. There are guided tutorials based around working templates as well as diagrams and instructions showing you the basics of selecting the right tools.
Indeed, FloorPlan has far more than simple building blocks to offer. Drill down into its submenus and you will discover options to pick staircases or roof tiles to match the overall style of your home.
The program will let you view your construction as a Plan drawing, in Orthogonal view or in Perspective mode, and you can set the Camera to show you which parts of the building will catch the sun, and where you'll need extra insulation. The expense of each item is added to a database - exportable to Excel - so you can cost out your design. Once you've rendered your architectural fantasy, you can post it online as a VRML (virtual reality modelling language) file.

We went back and he jumped in the lake and finally found his lost piece of plastic, along with about 10 others. Among those discs were one belonging to Russ Gore and one with Sam Shaheen's name on it. I have them, so see me sometime on the course and I will have them in my car. You can thank Reject, he is the one who got them out. The others were taken to the clubhouse.

Photos: [top] Jack and [bottom] Jill, before and after receiving treatment at the ASPCA Animal Hospital.
Can you imagine leaving your pets behind in your former home, even in the worst possible circumstances? We can't either. And yet, after Jerome Smith, 23, was evicted from his Harlem apartment, he chose to do just that to his six-month-old puppies.
When New York City Animal Care & Control officers opened the door to Smith's former home in September, they found Terrier mix puppies Jack and Jill, all alone and in bad shape.
The officers called ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement, and our agents brought the pups to the ASPCA Animal Hospital right away.
ASPCA veterinarians found Jack and Jill to be dehydrated, malnourished and severely underweight. Jack weighed 12.7 pounds and Jill weighed 8.5 pounds. By contrast, after being fed a balanced diet and receiving treatment by ASPCA staff, Jack now weighs 36.5 pounds and Jill weighs 30.3 pounds—a 187 and 256 percent increase, respectively.
The ASPCA arrested Smith in December. He was charged with two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, he faces up to two years in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.
Jack and Jill's story ends happily. On January 13, Jill was adopted! Jack is waiting for a forever family at the ASPCA Adoption Center, located in Manhattan. To learn more about how you can adopt Jack, please visit the ASPCA Adoption Center online.
Update 1/18/13: We are thrilled to report that Jack was adopted!
If you suspect you've witnessed animal cruelty, please report it.
Our animal cruelty laws are woefully inadequate. Anyone who would treat poor, innocent little puppies like this should be in jail for a long, long time.
This article made me cry. I have donated to the ASPCA in the past and continue to support their efforts. Great ending and I hope both pups find a great loving home.
Let's try something new, let's get rid of the bleeding hearts and let's prosecute this scum bag to the fullest extent of the law!
I hope this guy gets some time & a fine for his cruelty to his 2 puppies.
I agree with comments before that animal cruelty laws should be tougher. I feel that there should be a National Database for animal abusers just like for child abusers. This database should be available to anyone who wants to look, kind of like "the Scarlet Letter". I would also suggest microchipping them to keep track of them. These people should NEVER be allowed to have pets or children either. If he can't take care of a pet, he wouldn't take care of a child either. I also believe their fines should go to organizations that rescue animals from abuse/neglect, like ASPCA & the Humane Society. In a more perfect world, if you could not take care of your pet, there should be number to call for a no-kill shelter to help find a loving home for that pet.
I foster several cats for a local shelter,and I would NEVER consider doing anything so horrible. Anyone who abuses or neglects and animal should receive a lot more severe punishment!!
It's terrible how some people treat their animals, I know these people face jail+fines, which they usually skate on. I think courts should make these people do community services in animal shelters,lots of hours.Most of these people don't go to jail, since they are overcrowded!
The animal who did this to these sweet babies need way more time behind bars and a much bigger fine and when he gets out donate his time to help in the shelter walk and FEED the animals and clean up after them for 5 years and when he gets a job order to give half of his pay check to the A.S.P.C.A.Then maybe just maybe he will turn his cruel life around,oh a no pets for this man the only pets that he would see are the ones that he is HELPING taking care of in the shelter under supervision..That's what i would give him if i was the judge,People who are being cruel to animals are getting away with it,with just a slap on the waist and a small fine.Come on stick it to them A.S.P.C.A Remember your speaking for the animals your their voice make it count.Thank You for your time Sincerely Yours and also a member Mrs.Karen McCormick
What they need to do is get their priorities straight. Release the pot smokers and then you'll have plenty of space for those abusive jerks. People who inflict purposeful pain and misery are a bigger concern than pot dealers. Good grief.
I really fear for all animals. People just don't understand that animals are no different than humans. So glad these pups were saved.
I only read a few of the comments here, but didn't see if anyone thought about the fact that this young man if down on his luck being evicted etc. Could have simply given the dogs to a shelter stating that he was no longer in a position to care for them. It's not a crime to give up your pets because you can no longer provide for them, but you still have to act in their best interest and welfare by leaving them with a responsible party or organization that is equipped to care for them. Many people say that it's just a pet not like a human baby or as some of the comments here about if he could do this to dogs he could do it to humans too. Personally, I don't see the difference it's a life you signed up to care for human, dog cat or even fish. They are defenseless, innocent and depend on you for everything and give love unconditionally. They also feel pain as we do, I have a cat and she is my child my baby I love and care for her and regard her just as I would another human. If something happened where I could no longer provide, food, shelter, medical care and love, I would need to ensure she was left with someone who could. Shelters will take animals and work to find them good loving homes. Personally I see no difference in taking an animal to a shelter or giving your baby up for adoption or leaving it at a fire station. Yet so many people do not.

Beware fakes when collecting Roseville pottery
Cowles Syndicate Inc.
This vase is decorated with fish carved into the clay, so the designs are raised. It was estimated at $1,000-$1,500, but sold for more than $3,000 at a Rago Arts auction in Lambertville, N.J., last June. Early Roseville with hand decoration sells for more than later molded pieces. The vase is marked with the raised Rozane Ware medallion.
Early Roseville pieces were decorated with handwork, including sgraffito designs. Sgraffito is a method of scratching or carving a design into wet clay. Roseville vases with sgraffito designs are the most expensive Roseville vases today.
Later pieces were molded, and many were made with raised decorations of flowers and fruit. Almost every piece was marked with some form of the word "Roseville" or "Rozane" (a combination of the names of the two cities where the pottery's plants were located).
But be careful. Other potteries in the town of Roseville used the word "Roseville" in their marks, and there are many modern fakes of old Roseville vases.
A vase covered with raised fish designed in 1906 by Frederick Hurten Rhead, the company's art director, sold for $3,125 at a June 2012 Rago Arts auction in Lambertville, N.J. It was marked "GA" by the unknown artist who carved the fish.
An almost identical vase marked "ED" is known. There was a set pattern for the artists to follow for these vases, part of a Roseville line called "Della Robbia."
Q: I'm trying to find information on the C.M. Bott Furniture Co. of Buffalo, N.Y. I have a piece by the company and can't find any information. Can you help?
A: C.M. Bott Furniture Co. was founded by Charles M. Bott and was in business in Buffalo, N.Y., from 1914 to about 1931. The company specialized in making moderately priced dining-room furniture.
Q: We have a Cheerful Oak stove made by Channon-Emery Stove Co. It's stamped with the number 1900, which may be the year of manufacture. Can you give us an idea of the stove's value? It's not in good condition.
A: The Channon-Emery Stove Co. was founded in about 1880 by Joseph Emery and William Channon. The company, located in Quincy, Ill., manufactured various types of heating and cooking stoves and ranges. The Cheerful Oak model is listed as a "heater" in an 1895 issue of "The Metal Worker," a trade journal. The Cheerful Oak was made in three sizes and was designed to burn wood or coal. Your stove, if in poor condition, would sell for about $300.
Q: I read an article about old collectible cereal boxes in the Farmers Forum of Fargo, N.D. I have two Wheaties boxes picturing the 1987 World Champion Minnesota Twins. Both boxes are in perfect shape and have never been opened. What are they worth?
A: A friend has one of the 1987 boxes too. A single box, even in perfect condition, would sell for $10 to $15. If you decide to hold on to your Twins boxes, store them in archival bags. Open the boxes carefully from the bottom and empty out the cereal to prevent damage from insects.
Q: I found a large platter in my basement. I don't know where it came from. It's white with a thin decorative border and the letters "U.S.L.H.S." at the top. It is 13 by 19 1/2 inches and is marked on the back "James M. Shaw & Co., New York." There's also a second mark I can't make out. Any information would be appreciated.
A: The initials on your platter stand for the United States Lighthouse Service, which was formed in 1910. It merged with the U.S. Coast Guard in 1939. The Lighthouse Service maintained all the lighthouses in the United States.
Three different patterns of dinnerware were made for the Lighthouse Service, each by a different manufacturer. Your platter is in one of the first two patterns made. The mark you can't read is probably the manufacturer's mark.
James M. Shaw & Co. was a New York City distributor that was bought by Nathan Straus in 1936. So your plate was probably made between 1910 and 1936. Value: about $1,000 because it was made for the Lighthouse Service.

Show me a simple GSQL application?
Here you are:
The output should be:
TableA row: Stan, Juka
Why does my statement doesn't work? (GString Special Treatment)
Why the INSERT in this code fails?
Because the insertSQL is a GString. if you make it a String like this
it will work. Or you can do it like this:
In the last code snippet, GSQL will automatically create a prepared statement for you and run it.
Can you make this work with an Oracle Database?
I modified the code to get it to work with Oracle and for readability.
The Sql.newInstance will connect to an Oracle database SID called XE installed on localhost
at port 1521. The database user is "username" and the password is "password".
In order to get this to work you will have to install the the latest jdbc.jar file from Oracle's website. You need to install the .jar file into the
lib directory in your GROOVY_HOME directory:
The code does the following:
1. Creates TableA in username's schema
2. Inserts a row into TableA
3. Performs a SELECT * FROM TableA;
4. Returns "TableA row: Bill Lyons"
1 Comment
This approach is fine in a test harness. If you're trying to incorporate native SQL into a Grails application have a look at the following post over in the Nabble/grails_user group:

BTOP in Action
By November 2011, the EdLab Group's Communities Connect Network Project (CCNP) upgraded 35 public computer centers throughout Washington State. These centers are being retrofitted to provide low-income families with direct access to computer resources, legal and health information, educational opportunities, and workforce development training.
BTOP funds allowed CCNP to deploy more than 93 new workstations, serving an average of 420 users per week. Along with these computers, CCNP is also partnering with 22 organizations to provide each center with services that meet the needs of its visitors. For example, at the Kalispel Tribal Court computer center, visitors can obtain online legal assistance, court records, and information about the law. Patrons can also communicate virtually with their legal counsel through Kalispel's two videoconferencing stations.
Another partner, the Workforce Development Council of Seattle, is providing financial literacy training for staff members at eight computer centers in the city. Staff members learn concepts and techniques to teach local residents basic financial planning. Additionally, other partners are implementing digital literacy and career building classes on a variety of topics, such as basic computer skills, digital media editing, job search fundamentals, interview skills, and resume creation.
By the end of this BTOP project, CCNP will establish four new computer centers, upgrade 35 more, and distribute approximately 200 new workstations. To meet the needs of the state's diverse population, CCNP offers its training classes in various languages, including English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Somali. EdLab has also created an online portal for its partners, providing them with a forum to exchange curriculum, share information, and access guidance on how to manage the centers. To view CCNP's online portal, please visit here http://communitiesconnect.org.

On January 21, 2011, the ENMR Telephone Cooperative (ENMR) began laying 74 miles of new fiber in two of the five communities where it will deploy broadband service as a result of a BTOP grant. Extending through eastern New Mexico and west Texas, the network will bring broadband connections to more than 200 underserved anchor institutions, increasing Internet access speeds to 1Gbps at educational institutions, public safety organizations, healthcare facilities, and government agencies.
In all five markets, ENMR will provide new broadband fiber and connectivity service, delivering Internet at discounted rates to local rural schools, state agencies, and other anchor facilities. This new network will also expand distance learning opportunities for students at schools and libraries at rural areas.
As of March 2011, BTOP funds have allowed ENMR to install more than 29 miles of new fiber. ENMR has already negotiated its construction contracts and permits with equipment vendors and expects to start construction on the remaining three market areas by mid-May 2011. ENMR estimates it will complete construction on the entire project by January 2012.
Last Updated: October 17, 2011.
On January 21, 2011, the ENMR Telephone Cooperative (ENMR) began construction on a network of nearly 1,890 new and leased fiber miles. As of the project's completion in January 2013, the network had connected nearly 270 underserved anchor institutions. Extending through eastern New Mexico and west Texas, the network increased Internet access speeds to 1Gbps at educational institutions, public safety organizations, healthcare facilities, and government agencies.
ENMR provided new broadband fiber and connectivity service, and delivered Internet at discounted rates to local rural schools, state agencies, and other anchor facilities. This new network also expanded distance learning opportunities for students at schools and libraries in rural areas.
Enventis Telecom connected 16 community anchor institutions to its network through June 2013. Enventis' Greater Minnesota Broadband Collaborative project deployed an open access network to bring affordable high-capacity Ethernet services to rural areas of Minnesota. The project expanded distance learning and training opportunities throughout the state. It also built a modern healthcare network that interconnected approximately 10 regional health clinics, enabling the use of telemedicine and electronic medical records. The network utilized more than 400 miles of new fiber-optic infrastructure to connect more than 80 anchor institutions across a 23-county area of the state. The K-12 public schools, public safety entities, libraries, community colleges, higher education institutions, healthcare facilities, and government facilities received Internet at speeds of up to 10Gbps.
Fayetteville State University and the Fayetteville Metropolitan Housing Authority opened a new BTOP-funded public computer center (PCC) in North Carolina on August 16, 2010.

First Step Internet deployed 551 miles of fiber, completed construction on nine microwave towers, and completed 72 fixed microwave paths through June 2013. The new 550-mile high-speed fiber network extends broadband Internet coverage across Idaho's rural counties of Latah, Idaho, Clearwater, Lewis, and Nez Perce. First Step Internet also activated a wireless area network that covered more than 150 miles and connected approximately 45 community anchor institutions, including libraries, schools, health clinics, and government buildings. Once completed, the network will provide wireless Internet access to more than 20,000 households, 700 businesses, and 50 community anchor institutions.
First Step Internet's network will also complement the Nez Perce Tribe's BTOP grant that is providing high-speed, affordable broadband services across 1,200 square miles of tribal land. When completed, these two grants will provide complete broadband coverage for members of the tribe.
"If you give a student a laptop, you can't stop him or her from learning," said Foundation for California Community Colleges Chancellor Jack Scott. California Connects, in partnership with community colleges and community-based organizations across an 18-county region in the Central Valley, is using BTOP funds to increase digital literacy skills and broadband adoption through providing outreach, training, and learning support to underserved communities.
The Foundation for California Community Colleges is partnering with more than 30 community colleges and other learning centers to implement the Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) program, a comprehensive training workshop helping students become digital literacy trainers for their communities. Students participating in the program receive free access to Microsoft® IT Academy training and on-campus certification exams. Students completing the coursework will also receive a free new laptop to help them teach computer skills to local community members. As of June 2013, the program has distributed 5,800 laptops to MESA students and recorded approximately 10,050 new broadband subscribers.
Future Generations Graduate School's West Virginia project is using the community presence of fire stations across the state to increase broadband access. In a novel twist on the concept of community anchor institutions, Future Generations WV will use BTOP funds to outfit and open 60 computer centers in fire stations, with a focus on low-income counties. The project has already opened 30 centers in 18 counties. Currently, 26 centers hold basic computer skills classes, and educational partner organizations are contracted to run additional training on topics such as e-commerce, chronic disease self-management and substance abuse, and community-based emergency response and awareness. Many of the courses are offered as self-paced learning so that users can fit the training around their busy schedules.
FutureGenerations WV is using survey research in each community to assess needs and measure project impact. Eight surveyors conducted 900 door-to-door household surveys from July to November 2010. While 66 percent of the households owned computers, only 48 percent had access to broadband. Respondents noted that high costs and lack of access were two main reasons for not using broadband at home.
The volunteer fire departments and emergency rescue squads manage the centers and maintain at least one computer mentor at each center to assist the community in training and using the computers. The public computer centers have already proven particularly helpful in communities struggling with high unemployment. An unemployed paramedic commented, "I don't feel I can afford the extra bill for the internet. I am in the process of completing online courses for the requirements of the nursing class I am pursuing. Upper Laurel has been such a blessing to me." So far 783 West Virginians have been active users at the centers. Future Generations hopes that the centers will help residents to pursue higher education and retrain for job opportunities. In addition, volunteer fire department and rescue squads are learning to submit reports electronically and access supplemental online training programs for certifications and continued learning.

Georgia Partnership for TeleHealth (GPT) is using telemedicine to address poor health and the lack of high-quality healthcare in 91 of the state's counties designated as having persistent poverty. Its BTOP-funded project, TeleConnect Georgia for Better Health, connected 64 additional healthcare sites statewide to its existing open access telehealth network. It also provided free access to videoconferencing and telemedicine equipment for more than 200 medical facilities, including hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and public health departments.
GPT initiated a variety of outreach and awareness-building activities to demonstrate how state residents will benefit from this new network. For example, the program offered free online education to rural Georgia physician office employees. The courses covered areas such as health information technology, computer skills, and physician practice education.
Additionally, TeleConnect Georgia created Peachy, a mascot to help raise awareness about this new broadband network among young students and their families. During school visits, Peachy taught kids how to log on to the teleconnectga.com website to play games that promote healthy choices and habits. Approximately 4,900 people participated in BTOP-funded training classes.
The state residents who benefitted the most from access to this telehealth network were those who would not otherwise have had access to, or would have had to drive hours to see, a specialist. TeleConnect Georgia's new network helped patients gain better access to specialty care services, reducing the number of acute care cases and keeping patients out of emergency rooms and hospitals.
It has been a busy winter for the Government of the District of Columbia BTOP project. The recipient created a new community computer center at the Community College of the District of Columbia (CCDC) and reopened two existing centers after receiving BTOP funds. These centers are supporting a citywide initiative to provide affordable broadband and digital literacy training classes to low-income, unemployed District residents. Each center provides patrons with access to new computers, free Internet access, and digital literacy courses.
The new CCDC center houses 70 state-of-the-art computers and offers digital literacy and workforce development courses on a variety of topics including resume building, computer literacy, computer basics, online job search techniques, and Microsoft Office® software fundamentals. Visitors to the newly reopened Southeast Tennis and Learning Center will find 20 new computers that they can use to search for jobs, learn computer basics, and assist with homework assignments. The Petworth Library also recently reopened its doors to the public. BTOP Funding helped the library improve its broadband connection speed, acquire new state-of-the-art computers, and provide patrons with web-based courses that help job seekers earn a GED, learn basic computer skills, and prepare for professional exams.
The impact of the program will be felt across multiple communities. A total of 102 new computers have been distributed among six existing libraries. In particular, the new computers and broadband access have helped patrons at the Mt. Pleasant, Anacostia, and Capitol Hill Public Libraries use digital technology to search for jobs, pay bills, create resumes, and complete homework assignments.

Post-translational regulation of the Hsp90 molecular chaperone machinery in cancer
Link to PubMed (Opens new window. Close the PubMed window to return to this page.)
Research Abstract
The evolutionarily conserved molecular chaperone Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90) is an essential component of the cellular homeostatic machinery in eukaryotes. Cancer cells strongly depend on Hsp90 because of their need to cope with constitutive genetic instability and frequent environmental insults, including nutrient deprivation, hypoxia and proteotoxic stress. Emerging clinical data identify Hsp90 inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy to treat cancer. Cancer cells appear to be particularly sensitive to Hsp90 inhibitors when compared to non-transformed cells, and Hsp90 inhibitors are retained by tumors in vivo far longer than in normal tissues. However, the molecular basis for these phenomena remains undefined.
We use both yeast and mammalian systems to elucidate how post-translational modifications of Hsp90 chaperone machinery work in concert to regulate the chaperone function.

Looking out across the lawn Saturday as dusk fell on Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion in Raleigh, NC, I'm reminded of what a diverse bunch Heartbreaker Nation is.
We're young, and we're old(er). We're moms and we're daughters, sons and we're fathers. We're white and we're black, and all shades in between. We come from all walks of life and along all points of the journey, gathering together to celebrate an amazing band and a songbook that has served as the soundtrack to so many of our lives.
ZZ Top added to Saturday's celebration with a solid set of hits spanning their four-decade career. Howling wolves summoned Billy, Dusty and Frank to the stage, and the trio didn't relent for 90 minutes, the packed amphitheater rocking to "She's Got Legs," "Waiting for the Bus," and "Cheap Sunglasses."
Few bands out there can follow ZZ Top, but everyone in attendance knew we were in capable hands after a blistering "I Won't Back Down" when Tom stepped to the mike and yelled, "Raleigh, North Carolina on a Saturday night!" A downright spooky take on Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well" led perfectly into "Mary Jane's Last Dance," but the highlight of the night was "Learning to Fly," as thousands of Heartbreakers fans stretching from the front row to the lawn sang along to the famous chorus.
Charlotte, get ready! Remember to check back for more from the Mojo tour!

Sarah Hebberd Featured on NCAA.org Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Story
October 23, 2009
Story By Gary Brown, The NCAA News
INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Conference Carolinas, building on an idea from its student-athlete advisory committee, is organizing a league-wide Officials Appreciation Night during a series of conference basketball games this coming season. The initiative aligns with Division II's game-environment effort, but − perhaps more importantly − it comes from the student-athletes who may have something to teach the fans who otherwise feel entitled to give game officials their two cents.
Sarah Hebberd, junior lacrosse player at Pfeiffer and a member of both the Conference Carolinas SAAC and the national Division II SAAC, said student-athletes on the league committee embraced the idea as a chance to emphasize a positive relationship among student-athletes and the people who affect – and often protect – their play with their knowledge of the rules and their orchestration of the flow of games.
"Our SAAC is hoping that this will be the start of improved attitudes and sportsmanship toward all officials, not just basketball referees," Hebberd said. "While these 'appreciation nights' will be one-time events, we hope our conference SAAC members can use their influence to promote positive behavior from fans, whether that is by holding up a sign that is encouraging the official or simply discouraging slurs made toward officials through leadership."
Discussions about the particulars are not final, but the events likely will be conducted during conference games in February. Hebberd also said that even though basketball has been selected as the sport to "host" the events, the initiative targets respect for officials in all sports.
"We are hoping that it will carry over and encourage students and other fans to fully appreciate all sport officials," she said.
Conference Carolinas members are Anderson (South Carolina), Barton, Belmont Abbey, Coker, Converse, Erskine, Lees-McRae, Limestone, Mount Olive, Pfeiffer, Queens (North Carolina) and St. Andrews Presbyterian. Schools will have substantial autonomy in how they stage their own Officials Appreciation Night, but Hebberd said the conference SAAC is urging all schools to set up a hospitality room for officials, to display ample signage in the gym promoting the event and to have fans wear black and white clothing as a visual show of support. Schools also are encouraged to devote at least a portion of the halftime show to honoring that night's game officials.
The conference also will provide each home team 50 T-shirts as contest giveaways for fans.
"We also discussed tying in our Make-A-Wish efforts to these events by charging people (a dollar, for example) if they are not wearing black or white," Hebberd said. Those proceeds would go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a charity that Division II collectively supports.
Division II Vice President Mike Racy said the Conference Carolinas effort is another example of creative thinking from the people who often have the best ideas – student-athletes.
"Division II presidents and administrators are creative in how they develop strategic initiatives that advance the division's broader goals, but student-athletes often are the ones – particularly our national, conference and institution SAAC members – who come up with effective ways to implement these big-picture ideas at the local level," Racy said.
"It never ceases to amaze me how their ideas on supporting Make-A-Wish or improving game environments keep raising the bar. I hope the fans at these Officials Appreciation Nights do indeed appreciate the game officials, but I also hope they appreciate the student-athletes who took it upon themselves to stage this type of positive outreach."

The Raiders, over the holiday break, participated in the Immanuel Christmas Tournament. Oak Hill split their two games at the tournament with one loss to Columbus High School on Thursday and a tight victory over single-A Winona Christian 64-60 on Friday.
Friday night's contest was a close one for the Raiders as they fell behind during the second and third quarters. But Oak Hill came roaring back in the fourth quarter with the help of John Wesley Williamson (16 points) contributing 8 points in the fourth quarter comeback. Also playing a major role during the final quarter rally, Drew Riley was downright gutsy and fought hard on both sides of the ball.
"We were missing a couple of kids tonight," said Head Coach Brian Middleton after the win over Winona Christian, "our guys fought through adversity and it was almost like nothing would go our way; it was somewhat ugly, but I would rather have an ugly win than a pretty loss."
Missing players seems to be a theme for the Raiders during the first two months of the 2012-2013 season. Adversity is definitely the key word for Oak Hill as injury has plagued many of the players on the Raider roster. Even during the Winona Christian game, Oak Hill's J.J. Bridges picked up a foot or ankle injury that may even have him sitting out for an extended period of time.
"A lot of injuries early on in the season," commented Coach Middleton about fighting against the plague of injuries, "we are still trying to find our rhythm and our true rotation."
Even though fighting injuries, Oak Hill has been rather successful on the court. The Raiders have picked up their first two district wins over Immanuel Christian and Manchester Academy while also competing well in non-district play with a great win over North Delta of Batesville.
Yet come January, Coach Middleton knows his focus as well as his Raiders' focus will turn to closing out district play. An arduous task faces Oak Hill when two back-to-back nights of tough district opponents sit in front of the Raiders. A trip south to face Canton Academy on Friday night January 11 will soon be forgotten as Oak Hill returns home Saturday January 12 to take on district favorite Leake Academy.
"We don't have much time to fool around come January," said Middleton in regards to the Canton Academy and Leake Academy games, "with Canton and Leake back-to-back it's going to be tough, winning those two games though will place us into the first seed for the district tournament."
The coveted first seed is a great goal for a team that is very beat-up heading towards the final stretch of a long regular season. With a little bit more to gain, the Raiders may find their spark and a little more grit that may propel them to district success. Oak Hill's first action of the New Year will come against Marshall Academy when the Raiders travel to Holly Springs to seek revenge against the Patriots on January 5.

35 Long Island Restaurants Offering Free Gift Cards
It wasn't long ago that gift cards had a reputation for being thoughtless, impersonal, last-minute gifts. It also wasn't long ago that we were wearing neon blue spandex, a side pony tail and singing Debbie Gibson's "Electric Youth" into a hairbrush. Times change. You can now get a gift card tailored to every personality, for just about anything. And to really get you in the giving mood, many restaurants are offering free additional gift cards for you when you purchase them for someone else—in case you need a little help getting in the giving spirit, or as a reward for being the wonderful, thoughtful person you already are. You've probably seen the promotions for Applebees and Outback Steakhouse already—buy so many dollars worth of gift cards, get a bonus card. But there are dozens of local eateries offering the same deals, they just aren't advertised. Luckily, you don't have to search them out. We did all the work for you.

The Frances Marlin Mann Center for Ethics and Leadership emphasizes the indispensable connection between ethics and good leadership in business, government, social services and the classic professions. Much of the center's work is at this vital nexus of ethics and leadership.
In the United States and around the world, there is growing recognition that good leadership is more crucial than ever, especially as our global future depends increasingly on the actions and priorities of influential institutions in all sectors. But we also know that good leadership requires more than just effectiveness in getting things done. It is as much about who leaders are as what they do. And it is about the ends they value and the means they choose to pursue them.
The Mann Center is a catalyst for Samford's Christian mission, cultivating the competencies, knowledge, perspectives and values that enable leaders to navigate the often-daunting ethical challenges of today's society. We believe Samford graduates should be distinguished as leaders who, in the leading of their own lives, provide examples worth following.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Food and Drug Administration is warning doctors that a compounding pharmacy is recalling syringes of the Roche drug Avastin after receiving reports of eye infections among patients.
The FDA say Georgia-based Clinical Specialties has received five reports of eye infections from physicians who used the drug to treat macular degeneration, a common vision disorder that affects seniors.
The compounding pharmacy is recalling 40 lots of Avastin distributed to doctors' offices in Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina and Indiana since December.
Avastin is approved as a cancer drug, but it contains the same active ingredient as Lucentis, another Roche drug approved for macular degeneration. For years, compounding pharmacies have repackaged Avastin into small vials for use by eye doctors. Repackaged injections of Avastin cost about $50, compared with $2,000 for Lucentis.

My Papa was diagnosed with terminal cancer of the neck & lungs, it all started with his neck having bad pains. He went to the doctor and was told his neck was broken from osteperosis and any medium contact with his neck could have severed his spine & he had cancer in it. About two weeks ago he was told to make the most of his days. My mother has been leaning on me for sympathy, it has been very hard on here and me, unlike me she is very close to her father. I guess thats why I've been in a stupering daze for the last couple of weeks. Jeremy, I don't know if your church has a prayer list or not but right now he needs all the prayers he can get. His name is Ed Carr, if you could
put him on there it would be much appreciated. Thanx

Baby wearing has many benefits, but it's vital that you understand how to wear your baby properly. Click here to see CPSC warning about slings.
Click here for sling safety tips check out Juvenile Products Manufacturing Association (JPMA).
If you have a baby wearing experience, tip or product you loved when carrying your baby please share it here!
Types of Carriers for Baby Wearing:
- Wraps: Moby Wrap – Good for: newborns preemies, babies up to 20 pounds. Inexpensive, can hold a baby in every position imaginable, not as hard as it looks. The ultimate in comfort. Excellent for transitioning into new-motherhood. Wraps are the best option for someone with back problems. The biggest advantage is that you can fully spread the fabric out to fully distribute the weight of your babe across your entire upper body.
- Pouches: Sprout Pouch – Good For: Babies through toddlers and quick jaunts in and out of stores etc. Lightweight and compact. They easily slip into a diaper bag when baby is not being worn. Dads often prefer the look of a pouch to a ring sling. Can be less expensive & a short learning curve.
- Structured Carrier: Ergo Carrier – Good for: Bigger children (4 months and up) although infant inserts on models like the Ergo and the Beco make them useful (if not ideal) from day one. Long trips, all day carrying and hikes. It is like a backpack that carries the baby either on your front or on your back. It fully supports the baby (not by the crotch as some carriers do – it holds him in a sitting position) so that both your hands are free . The Ergo carrier has a simple design and is easy to put on and put the baby into.
Things to consider When Finding the Best Carrier:
- How old is your baby?
- What position/s do you prefer to use when you carry your baby?
- Do you have any physical problems that could restrict your choice?
- What activities will you use the babycarrier for?
- What type of babycarrier suits your personality?
- What extremes of climate will you need to cope with?
Other things to keep in mind when trying on slings, pouches, and other carriers:
Keep an open mind
I often hear from parents "I don't want that long thingy that you have to tie- I know I won't be able to do it." Just for fun, we have them try it on, and due to the comfort, ease of use (really!), versatility and great price, the "long thingy" almost always goes home.
Get fitted
A good carrier should hold your babe the way you do. Baby's legs should be supported as if they were in a chair, with support all the way out to the knees. Babies should not be carried by the crotch in a bungee harness with their legs dangling. This is as much for the baby as for the wearer: when the baby's weight is supported only by the crotch (not distributed throughout the bottom and thighs) a great deal of pressure is put on the still developing pelvic bone.
Those swinging legs are also challenging for your stomach and back muscles to stabilize, leading to prematurely tired (or injured) backs. Slings should fit very snugly, with the lowest part hitting just at the top of your hip; they should be spread out wide across the back and sit on the shoulder, not the neck. Baby should sit snugly against your body, without bouncing or swaying—very important as these motions will KILL your back!
Ring slings, structured carriers like Ergos and Becos, wraps and mei-tai carriers can all be adjusted to fit the wearer snugly.
Pouch slings, on the other hand, must be sized correctly to the wearer when purchased, so make sure you get fit properly.
Try before you buy
Spend some time trying your (well-fed and well-rested) child in a number of carriers. Walk around the block, if possible, to get a feel for how it functions in the real world.
Don't give up
If your child doesn't seem to like the carrier, try again later when everyone is in a better mood.
Assess the situation
A one-shoulder sling isn't going to work for a three-hour excursion. For this kind of job, a two-shouldered carrier with hip support is called for.
Don't skimp on quality
A carrier will be something you use every day. Get the right one for the job – your baby and your back will thank you!

Just wondering how important that is to everyone. When I set my 600's up in there soft boxes or umbrellas I already know the zoom length I will need for maximum light dispersion. I just use the STE3 to select the type of mode I want and flash duration. I suppose that when you are trying for effects like narrowing the beam for rim lighting effects or other stuff it makes a difference. I don't do much of that so it does not bother me. I really like the system.
Then there are the other two main complaints. No AF assist on the STE3. Don't need it in the studio and when shooting event photography I have a flash on my camera all the time anyway to bounce when I can even with remote flashes in the corners. Lack of off camera 2nd curtain sync. Have not missed it but I am surprised Canon left it out for RT. Looks like Yongnuo will have it with their RT release, in manual only I think. Also their version STE3 will have AF assist. There will be a little pressure on Canon RT sales. Overall I'm very happy with Canon RT. The group mode rocks.
Not a reply to anyone particular, but rather a coincidence that I see this thread after having just recently watched a video from CanonUSA's Bruce Dorn talking about using the zoom off camera. At 1:43: "...the expanded 200mm tele zoom setting is expecially useful for wireless flash when the speedlite is used off-camera."Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT: Creative Lighting with Bruce Dorn -- Introduction (1 of 5)
