"The killer of now up to forty-nine has struck again. But this time, there is new hope. Two witnesses, Katherine Enright and John Desmond have survived the attack of the killer. More updates will come as the investigation goes on now. This is Ted Johnson, signing out."
The man with spiky, blonde hair strode around the mostly empty brown room with his long detective cloak, as black as a crow against the cloudy night sky. His right arm was missing, leaving a long and flat sleeve hanging from the cloak. The inspector looked at the man with hazel eyes, his pitch black hair cut to the roots. Both men and a woman seated themselves at a brown table, the fan above them whirring madly.
"I've looked at your records. Yes, you are definitely a detective. In which case, since you insisted, I'll let you question Katherine, the maid of the household. I don't think you murdered them, but just so you know, I have a pistol. This room is also surveyed by a security camera." Inspector Clive said. The woman looked at him with a blank expression, her neat fringe parted to the side, thanks to two white hair clips. Her collar nearly reached the end of her blonde hair. Her black eyes were colder than most, sending chills down Clive's spine.
"I suppose you suspect me then." Katherine put her hand in the pocket of her dress, which was placed high up since the end of the uniform was so wide. White frills decorated the end, just revealing her small black shoes. John walked up to Katherine, his blue eyes facing hers. The atmosphere was tense.
"First things first, Inspector. I'll tell you what happened now. I was invited to my friend's house, a beautiful house built over a lake. All the other victims were there." John continued, his footsteps seeming unnaturally loud.
"That friend was Eric Desmond, my brother. During the party, he decided to go to his room and have a drink in private for a while. Why would he do that? As you know, Inspector, when you performed the autopsy, it was found he died of poisoning. We were at his house all day, and ate all he ate. He couldn't have eaten it before the party. The poison was the poison if the Bushmaster Snake. He wouldn't have lived through the party. So it was the wine that was poisoned." John faced Katherine, and smiled at her.
"You would know, Katherine. You are his servant. You served him the wine. You saw it happen."
"So, Katherine is t-" Clive was cut off by John, continuing in front of him.
"Not so fast, Inspector. Where did she get the poison? And that's not all. I know Eric. He was suffering from cancer. Being such a rich man, he could easily get the poison. Maybe he just wanted to see us again before he committed suicide." John said.
"Just moments after, a bomb shattered the foundations of the house, sending the floor into the lake below- along with the guests. Their expensive clothing brought then to their doom. None knew how to swim very well, and the jewel-covered clothes laced with gold and silver sank faster than they could swim. Only me and Katherine were wearing simple clothing, and survived. How did she get the bomb? It is impossible for her." What John said simply sent Clive into an instant blur. He was known for his unique intellect and very unique way of conversing, but this was out of the world.
"What?! Then who is the killer?! I'm losing my patience with all your suspense and gobbledygook! Tell me who did it!" Clive yelled at the top of his lungs. A twisted grin stretched over John's face, destroying both his image of intelligence and wit. Clive immediately stumbled back, surprised by the sudden reaction from John, a reaction which severely disturbed him.
"Oh, Katherine can tell you that!" John said. Katherine's face turned a clean sheet of pale white as John laughed. "Say the name of the person, Katherine! Who is the culprit? You know it, because it happened in front of your eyes! If you don't, I'll answer the question for you! Say the name of the person in front of you!" In that moment, Clive pulled out his pistol in defense.
"Say my name!"
"I told him that I was going to do the killing. But his face changed color and he insisted on having the role of the detective."
"He did pretty good, didn't he?"
"Yeah. I guess it was because his head was so stuck into it. He said he needed to 'atone for his sins'..."
"In that case, send him and this Florine girl to our next target. Make Florine the maidservant of this next household. Saves me the trouble of looking through all the members we have to look for one. Go and prepare the disguises. Here are the two people that I want you to kill and steal their identities. Now I need to arrange the next mission for L-"
"But one more thing, sir..."
"Osborne lost his right arm."
Florine was sitting on a grand chair with red cushions, at a long table with all the members of the organization. She was seated where Osborne was supposed to be. She was the odd one out of the whole group, having not possess that one thing that made all the others be called 'Freaks'. The only reason why she was sitting on the chair was because Osborne has saved her. The only survivor of the assault, and to be yet again- but the next time was to be a bluff. The large man roared, his two extra arms nearly grabbing out to strangle the messenger, but stopped himself before that. The man screeched with much sound, the volume of a jet-plane, before he noticed his boss has stopped. His small eyes were more suited to underground living, since he was a Whismur hybrid.
"So, you are Florine." The man in a ripped black suit said. His muscles were far too much for a human body, but luckily, he didn't have a pure human body. It seemed that the only thing that separated him from being classified as a Machamp is the fact that he is capable of both human speech and delicate work, a feat impossible for a normal Machamp, for his lower arms are of a normal human size. His whole body was covered in gray skin, and he possessed three gold-colored ovals that were attached on his flat head, and thick eyebrows stared at the only normal human.
"It seems that our best actor has taken a liking to you. I'm making you take a mission with him. Just be happy that he saved your miserable life, human."
It was then that a man walked into the large room, the huge door creaking to a close as he let go. A white tail was held in his remaining hand. A tail with the end looking exactly like the end of a paintbrush.
"Don't talk to her like that." Osborne said. His short ocean blue hair was combed down, much unlike the disguise he would take later on. Florine remembered him as the man who dressed as a slightly old and plump manservant, who worked alongside her. It was him who set fire to the mansion. It was him who pulled her out of the fire and caused his arm to be crushed by the flaming debris...
The over sized tuxedo hung from his skinny body, the tuxedo which he stole from the manservant as he murdered him. "Ah, just in time, Osborne. We need you to make disguises for two more."
"Which house are we going now?" Osborne asked.
"Over to the Desmond household. Listen, in a week's time there will be a party. Our intelligence gatherers will get more information soon. For now, kill these two people," The man showed Florine and Osborne two pictures. "The woman is called Katherine Enright and the other John Desmond, Eric Desmond's brother."
We weren't supposed to live.
Or at least, the disguises we took.
But they arrived too fast for us to escape.
They deemed us as witnesses.
Now, only one of us could escape.
And it would be me.
But would I escape...?
Why do you insist on getting hurt?
Do you think you can really protect me like that?
When we murdered the first man...
It was you who blindfolded me and knocked me out, right?
There were two wine glasses weren't there. You simply switched them.
Even if he didn't die by your poison...
He would have eventually died by my knife.
Let me solve the riddle in your place.
Let me undo the rusted curse put upon the real culprit.
I can only think that... everything you said to me was a lie.
After all...
If you said that you were tired of living, what's making you so anxious?
You had the ability to kill them one by one.
But you aren't the real culprit.
When I was spying on you...
In the house where you fell in love with me
And where I fell when you detonated the bomb
A hole forming in the floor.
You stretched out your arm and saved me.
The arm was used to play piano.
Had I known that, would I have not taken it...?
I will gently whisper into your ear
The real culprit's name.
The culprit is...
Osborne's body fell to the floor as Clive fired his pistol multiple times. Florine slowly walked up and tore off the disguise, revealing the real person inside, when she could have teleported. Clive looked at the woman fiercely.
"Why didn't you do that earlier? I sent you to spy on those horrid Pokemon hybrids. I thought there was actually one of you that wasn't corrupted," Clive said, reloading his pistol. "Take off your disguise. You aren't worthy of it."
Florine slowly took off the expertly made costume, revealing what Osborne thought was the real her. She tore at herself again.
A green hood covered her flashing red eyes, and a red, glowing horn stuck out of the green hood. Unlike a Ralts, she had legs, and a trailing mound of excess skin that looked like a dress. Her delicate white skin was untouched by the sun for many days, having the disguises on for so long.
"Tell me everything you know," Clive scowled. He handed her a paper and pen. "Don't speak. You Pokemon don't have the right to use our language."
Slowly, the pen lifted and wrote on the paper. The whereabouts of the hideout was soon sketched out. The plans were neatly arranged. As soon as the pen cap was put on again, Clive fired his pistol. Florine took a step back as a gaping hole appeared on her chest.
"I don't need you anymore."
Florine immediately started to sing. The sparking light enveloped her, before both her and Osborne disappeared. Where the two teleported, nobody knows.
"The killer is found to be a secret organization led by the wrecked Pokemon hybrids. All have been captured, but one escaped. Please be on a lookout for this person."
A picture of Osborne flashed on the screen.

In the Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), disorders of the thyroid function and morphology have been reported and programs of thyroid screening and surveillance are recommended. However, the frequency of biochemical thyroid assessment, particularly in the first year of life, is being debated. In this report we describe an infant with WBS and congenital hypothyroidism, due to an important thyroid hypoplasia. The patient, a 1-month-old female, negative at primary neonatal thyroid screening, was referred to our hospital for dyspnea. Thyroid function tests showed a raised TSH (42 mIU/l; normal range 0.5–4 mIU/l) with a low FT4 concentration (10.21 pmol/l; normal range: 10.29–24.45 pmol/l). Ultrasound examination of the neck showed a significant thyroid hypoplasia, whereas 99mTc-pertechnetate thyroid scintigraphy evidenced a thyroid gland in normal position, with reduced shape and overall weak fixation. Therefore, treatment with L-thyroxinewas started. Thyroid hypoplasia is a frequent characteristic of WBS and abnormalities of thyroid function are common in patients with this feature. Therefore, the possibility of congenital hypothyroidism should always be taken into consideration too and, even if congenital hypothyroidism neonatal screening is negative, thyroid (morphology and function) evaluation should be regularly assessed when the diagnosis is made and, thereafter, every year in the first years of life.

Jordi Cruyff has revealed how he was humbled by the genius of former Manchester United teammate Paul Scholes.
Cruyff wrote in the Daily Mail: "The United attitude was so good. There was a week where we had three games and Paul Scholes scored in all three, maybe six or seven goals in total. I was looking at him in the dressing room the next day and he was so calm in the dressing room, completely normal, as though he'd done nothing all week.
"I said, 'Jesus, if I'd scored seven goals in three games, I'd be walking in with a new suit! They would have had to make the doors wider because my ego would not have fit through anymore!' I learned a lot of these small lessons at that time."

Cisco Betting Big on Virtualization to Solve Video Challenge
As service providers grapple with the challenges of delivering video, Cisco takes the strategy it pioneered in the data center to the broader Internet
Press Release
May 17, 2010
by Laurence Cruz
When the World Cup kicks off in South Africa next month, most viewers won't care how video of the soccer tournament makes its way to their TVs, laptops, tablets and mobile devices so long as the picture quality is good, the viewing experience glitch-free and their team wins.
But delivering a high-quality video experience is no easy networking feat, especially when tens of thousands of people around the world want the same content at the same time on an array of devices from high-definition screens in the home to smart phones.
With service providers' networks straining under a rapidly growing freight of multimedia traffic, the World Cup offers a teachable moment about the challenges of moving video around the globe. More than that, Cisco says, it also shows the need for a radical new approach to meeting those challenges one that takes the "virtualization" strategy the company pioneered in the data center and extends it across the global Internet.
If that sounds sweeping and bold, it's because it is. In fact, fully realized, it would constitute nothing short of a re-imagined, re-engineered Internet that would be foundational not just for Cisco's video strategy, the company says, but for its strategies around other key market transitions as well collaboration and Web 2.0, for instance.
"This re-engineered Internet will deliver video-based experiences, using the network, the cloud and data center, to any end point a TV screen, a laptop screen or even a mobile handset," says Kelly Ahuja, who oversees Cisco's routing portfolio for service providers.
Wide Area Virtualization?
The strategy is cast from a similar mold to that of Cisco's revolutionary data center initiative, dubbed the "Unified Computing System," which uses the network to intelligently allocate pooled network, compute, storage and virtualization resources wherever they are needed to run corporate payroll systems or online video sites, for example.
But Cisco's video strategy extends far beyond the data center to encompass networks globally in what one analyst calls "wide area virtualization." The company says it's a logical extension of earlier iterations of its video strategy, which have focused on communications infrastructure.
"It's no longer about networking or routing alone," says Ahuja. "It's about the convergence of network, compute and storage, which drives the virtualization aspect."
Cisco's Network Positioning System
In practice, the approach will use technologies like the Network Positioning System (NPS) a feature of Cisco's recently announced CRS-3 that allows the router to interact with data centers in an entirely new, some might say revolutionary, way. The similarity to another acronym, GPS, is no coincidence. But whereas GPS commonly uses satellite data to identify the optimum route between two locations, NPS uses routing protocols, policy databases and other information to find the shortest path to virtualized resources, such as video storage or servers, then connects the user to those resources.
NPS can help global organizations balance their resources among data centers. If the resources at one data center get stretched thin, for instance, NPS can find additional virtualized resources at another site in the cloud.
Or, to return to the World Cup, it can help soccer fans in, say, Europe or the United States have a better video viewing experience of a game taped in South Africa and stored at various locations around the world, Ahuja says. That's because NPS enables networks to recognize when the requested content is stored nearby.
"Then I can go get that content at much better performance and at a much lower cost to the network operator," Ahuja says.
He says that's a considerable improvement over the current and traditional model where a request from a user in the United States may have to travel all the way to South Africa to get content. Not only is it expensive for service providers to ferry the large data packets that comprise video across thousands of miles, but if huge numbers of fans are watching the same content at the same time, data bottlenecks and network overload may degrade performance.
Ahuja also says NPS works differently from the existing practice of storing or caching video at the "edge" of the network meaning near the end user, on a local Web server or a DVR machine, for instance because it enables multiple users to benefit from the stored content at the same time. If the video is cached in the network in a given geographical area, everyone in a nearby city can see it if they want to, he says.
Quality of Service is King
Of course, bigger pipes must continue to play a role in any effective video delivery system, so Cisco will continue to push the limits of what machines like the CRS-3 can do to address the challenges of moving video around the world chief among which are scale, cost and performance, Ahuja says.
But networking vendors cannot compete on speeds and feeds alone, says Michael Howard, principal analyst with telecom consultancy Infonetics Research. That will be very apparent as service providers duke it out during the World Cup. Not only must they build networks that can scale up to accommodate spikes from perhaps tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of subscribers, Howard says, but a growing number of fans expects to watch the sport in high definition. Even more challenging from a networking perspective, ESPN will be showing the tournament in 3D in Europe a first.
"Carriers build their reputations on the quality of the services they deliver," Howard says. "If they deliver stellar services, they earn a stellar reputation, and if they deliver sub-par services, they earn a sub-par reputation."
Betting Big
Whether technologies like NPS and Cisco's approach to wide area virtualization will help in that regard remains untested, analysts say. But the strategy holds promise, they say, especially as more common video routing features edge caching, video monitoring, quality of service and deep packet inspection, for instance are becoming minimum requirements for service providers.
"NPS is aimed at something communication companies would like to do at some point," Howard says, adding that it will really come into its own when cloud computing goes mainstream. "This is a good idea. Networking vendors don't just make this kind of thing up; they discuss future problems with their customers on a regular basis."
Eve Griliches, a managing partner and analyst with technology consulting firm ACG Research, says she thinks Cisco is onto something valuable with NPS.
"Getting traction in data centers and taking it into the wide area networks makes great sense," she says, adding that the technology is similar in principle to what global companies are exploring in the area of data center redundancy. That is, if one data center goes down, can the others take over from it, for a period of weeks if necessary, until it comes back online? In the case of a global broadband carrier, the challenge might be losing California because of earthquakes.
"Can they position all of their resources in other places for some amount of time in order to handle that type of crisis?" she says.
As for Ahuja, he says NPS is a critical element in Cisco's video strategy and a harbinger of things to come in the company's vision of what it calls a next-generation Internet.
It would not be the first time the networking giant has bet big on a strategy that left many scratching their heads. Barely a decade ago, communications executives laughed when John Chambers, Cisco's chief executive officer, said phone calls would move onto Internet technology and be free. They're not laughing any more.
"You have to give kudos to Cisco for thinking that far ahead," Griliches says. "It's certainly something that's on everybody's mind."

I will be taking the main file server (Ultra1) down at approximately 3AM to perform an upgrade that will double the CPU speed. I expect this to take about an hour. Since any host service that requires access to user files, shell, web, e-mail, all of these functions will be unavailable during this time frame. As almost everything is dependent upon this server, all host services should be faster after the upgrade. The primary reason for this upgrade is to provide enough CPU to move some additional services to this box and to setup another ultra1 to phase out some older hardware that is becoming difficult to impossible to find parts for.

The Lasso: Roping in the best of the web
Updated May 27, 2014 - 5:13 pm
How far we've come: 2000s kids react to 1970s computer
Oh, kids these days don't realize how lucky they are with their fancy Internet and apps. How would your kids react if you replaced their iPad with this monster computer?
These technologically-advanced kids were put in front of a computer from the 1970s and put to the test. From turning it on to playing a simple game these kids were shocked and amazed by how far technology has come.
No mouse, no Internet, no hard drive; these kids didn't know what hit them.
What was the point of a computer anyways if not to shop, pay bills or play games involving ill-tempered birds?

Obituaries in the news
John Furia Jr.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Prolific screen and television writer John Furia Jr., who penned popular series including "Bonanza," "The Waltons," and "Hawaii Five-O" among many others, has died. He was 79.
The Writers Guild of America West disclosed Furia's death in a statement Friday. The cause and exact time of his death could not immediately be determined.
Furia, a former president of the WGAW, was a longtime advocate for Hollywood writers. He was also a founding chairman of University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television Writing Division and was a full professor there teaching screen and television writing.
Born in 1929, Furia started his entertainment career singing with dance bands in New York City, but he soon discovered the fledgling television industry. He moved to California where he became one of Hollywood's most productive dramatists, working for both major studios and networks.
He wrote for series such as "Bonanza," "The Twilight Zone," "Dr. Kildare," "Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre," "Hawaii Five-O," "The Waltons," and "Kung Fu," as well as wrote or produced numerous movies-of-the-week.
Furia's screen credits include "The Singing Nun" starring Debbie Reynolds and Greer Garson, in addition to executive producing films in Mexico, France, Canada, Spain, Croatia, and Kenya.
Harold E. Fischer
LAS VEGAS (AP) – Col. Harold E. Fischer, an ace fighter pilot whose high-profile captivity became a symbol of heightened tensions between the U.S. and China at the end of the Korean War, died April 30. He was 83.
Fischer died after suffering complications from back surgery, his companion Tsai Lan Gerth said.
As a captain in the Air Force in April 1953, Fischer had shot down 10 MiGs in just 47 missions, making him an ace. He shot his eleventh on the day he crashed his Sabre Jet north of the Yalu River in enemy territory, The New York Times reported.
Fischer was discovered by Chinese soldiers and taken to a prison outside Mukden in Manchuria. With the exception of a brief escape, Fischer spent nearly two years in the prison before he and four other pilots were put on trial in Beijing on May 24, 1955, more than a year after the cease-fire had ended the war.
They were found guilty of violating Chinese territory, and Fischer falsely confessed to participating in germ warfare. The men were set free a week later. The release was seen as an attempt to easy tension between Communist China and the United States.
He received the Silver Star, the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Distinguished Service Cross, among many other decorations.
Bud Shrake
DALLAS (AP) – Bud Shrake, the co-author of "Harvey Penick's Little Red Book" who was known to have had drinks with Jack Ruby and was the longtime companion of former Texas Gov. Ann Richards, has died. He was 77.
He died of lung cancer Friday at an Austin hospital, son Ben Shrake said.
Shrake wrote at least 10 novels, including "Blessed McGill" in 1968 and "Custer's Brother's Horse" in 2007. He collaborated with Willie Nelson on a biography, and his 1992 golf book with Penick was a best-seller.

Staff at Indian hospital flees as fire kills 73
KOLKATA, India A basement fire sent flames and smoke coursing through a seven-story Indian hospital Friday, killing 73 people, and officials accused hospital staff of abandoning many patients to die of suffocation.
As rescuers scrambled to evacuate survivors, police filed a case against the hospital in the eastern city of Kolkata for violating safety procedures, and top government officials vowed to hold the facility accountable and work toward revoking its license. The hospital expressed regret over the deaths, and denied any violations of safety measures.
"It was horrifying that the hospital authorities did not make any effort to rescue trapped patients," said Subrata Mukherjee, West Bengal state minister for public health engineering. "Senior hospital authorities ran away after the fire broke out."
Firefighters on long ladders smashed windows in the upper floors of the AMRI Hospital to pull trapped patients out before they suffocated from smoke inhalation, while sobbing relatives waited on the street below. Rescue workers took patients on stretchers and in wheelchairs to a nearby hospital.
Moon Moon Chakraborty, who was in the hospital with a broken ankle, called her husband S. Chkraborty at home to tell him a fire had broken out.
"She had died by the time I reached the hospital," her husband said.
The fire killed 73 people, including three hospital workers, said Satyabrata Upadhyay, a senior vice president of the AMRI hospital company. The remainder of the dead were presumably patients and relatives who were aiding in their care. Rescue officials said many of the dead suffered from smoke inhalation.
At the time of the blaze, there were 160 patients in the 190-bed hospital annex, Upadhyay said.
The loss of life was "extremely unfortunate and painful," but the facility followed strict fire safety measure, he said. He promised to give 200,000 rupees, (about $4,000) to the relatives of the dead.
"We deeply sympathize and share the pain and agony of the family members of the patients admitted here," he said.
The expensive AMRI private hospital was recently rated one of the best hospitals in the city by an Indian magazine. However, safety regulations are routinely ignored at hospitals throughout India.
The blaze erupted about 3:30 a.m. in the building's basement, and heavy smoke quickly engulfed the hospital. The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
The fire and the smoke were first noticed by people living in a massive slum close to the hospital, according to witnesses. Some of them rushed to the hospital and raised an alarm, but security guards kept them back, saying there was a small fire in the kitchen and there was nothing to worry about. As the smoke enveloped the building, the slum dwellers joined in the rescue effort.
It took firefighters more than an hour to arrive after the blaze started, said Pradeep Sarkar, a witness. His uncle was hospitalized hours earlier after suffering a heart attack at home, and he was moved to a nearby hospital after the fire broke out.

Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease
Diabetes is a condition that affects how insulin is produced and used in the body. Insulin is a hormone that controls blood sugar. A person who has diabetes either does not produce enough insulin or is unable to use it properly. Over time, this condition can accelerate hardening and narrowing (atherosclerosis) of the coronary arteries. This results in coronary artery disease.
People who have diabetes are 4 times more likely to have coronary artery disease than people who do not have diabetes.1 People who have diabetes are 2 to 4 times more likely to die from coronary artery disease than people who do not have diabetes.2
If you have diabetes and coronary artery disease, you can help lower your risk of a heart attack or stroke by managing your diabetes and having a healthy lifestyle, which includes being active, taking medicines to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and not smoking.3

Forward and Back
Though officially an exercise in change and progress, Rahm Emanuel's inauguration as Chicago's first Jewish mayor was nonetheless steeped in well-worn myths and traditions
According to the official program for Rahm Emanuel's swearing-in ceremony yesterday, the rabbi spoke twice.
The leaflet had Jack Moline, a Chicago native who is currently the rabbi of the Agudas Achim Congregation in Alexandria, Va., offering his benediction both before and after the Chicago Children's Choir.
Perhaps listing Moline twice is Emanuel's way of reminding the city that he is its first Jewish mayor, a fact that most of the inaugural coverage will mention and then quickly drop. Or perhaps, since the rabbi actually only spoke once, it was a typo, if it is conceivable to imagine that Rahm's media staff—which reporters here have criticized for their micro-managing—made a mistake. The reduplication reminded me of an image that has haunted me throughout the campaign: an Emanuel caught between the old and the new. As the New York Times' Monica Davey observed in a May 16 story, however forcefully Rahm charges toward change, in Chicago, "old alliances and neighborhood tribalism are hardly forgotten."
Indeed, these tensions roiled throughout the inaugural festivities, which began on Saturday. It was raining and in the 40s that morning when Emanuel's black SUV pulled up at a community garden on Chicago's South Side. First to emerge was a staffer carrying a shovel and a pitchfork. The mayor-elect then leapt from the car and stalked around the garden in a Patagonia fleece, jeans, sneakers, and no coat. The rest of the family was there too, also coatless, though Emanuel's wife Amy had a pashmina chicly wrapped around her neck.
Mr. Mayor, is this a metaphor for rooting out political corruption? a reporter asked as Rahm began pounding his shovel into the dirt.
Sure, he replied, coming up with a shovelful of weeds, plastic, and dandelions. "If you want to see it that way."
But then he seemed to think better of it. "Is this OK to throw out?" he asked, holding up his shovel to no one in particular. When a garden staffer assured Rahm that it was, he poured the dirt gently into a wheelbarrow.
Several hours later, the rain had not abated, and a crowd of about 100 gathered in Grant Park to hear Chicago—the '70s supergroup that got their start here, that is.
Given Rahm's platform of change, the choice seemed, at best, counterintuitive. If you are advocating change, you might want to eliminate references to Chicago as the Windy City, the City of Big Shoulders, Chi-Town, or the City That Works or adjectives like "muscular." Or at least keep them to a minimum.
As usual, Team Rahm succeeded more with the snacks and the swag than sophistication, offering rain-drenched spectators lip balm, granola bars, bottled water, and rain ponchos.
By Monday, it was still cold but clear. Thousands gathered in Grant Park at the dazzling Frank Gehry-designed Pritzker Pavilion, the brainchild of Emanuel's immediate predecessor, Richard M. Daley. Before the ceremony, U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin, former Obama hand David Axelrod, and other high-powered pols wandered near the press tent, granting sound-bites.
Common wisdom holds that the swearing-in ceremony and inaugural address were models of diversity and testimonies to Emanuel's seriousness about change and reform.
Maybe so, but just as the band Chicago provides residents with a sentimental view of the city and its musical heritage, Rahm's inaugural address offered listeners a sentimental fable about its nickname: It is called the Second City, because, after the Chicago Fire of 1871, the residents rebuilt the city "from the ground up," he said.
That is one story about how Chicago earned its nickname, to be sure. But telling only this part of the moniker's history does everyone a disservice. The name may also have taken root when Chicago became the country's second most-populous city around 1890, and it stuck when A.J. Liebling used it as the title of a book that compared the city's residents—unfavorably—with New Yorkers.
Things have changed since then, of course. Chicago, as someone once pointed out to me, is not Chelm. Yet, the most recent census showed that Chicago is now third in the nation, population-wise, and shrinking. If Chicago is to change, as Rahm wishes, it will be, as Rabbi Moline said in his speech, quoting the Talmudic sage Rabbi Chanina, "because we are praying for the welfare of the government, praying that every person will help fix what is broken."
As I walked away from Pritzker Pavilion through Grant Park, I could not help but notice the many cracks lining the sidewalk.

Brisbane punk rock
|Brisbane punk rock

The Brisbane punk rock scene, which occurred between 1975 and 1984, is generally regarded as producing "some of the most anarchistic bands of the Australian punk rock era".[1] The development of Brisbane's punk rock movement during the late 1970s to early 1980s differed to other Australian cities because of its relative remoteness and distant isolation from the rest of Australia. The Brisbane scene was also considered to have received an excessive amount of scrutiny from the local police. This helped to generate a uniquely antagonistic and individual so-called "snot" driven punk bands.
Whilst these Brisbane bands had the environmental and political factors at play, it also could be seen from hindsight that the movement can be roughly dissected into three phases. First, there was the pioneering chapter, which lasted from 1975 to 1977. These bands were either innovators or part of the first wave of punk bands. Foremost of all Brisbane bands, The Saints are acknowledged as "Aussie punk pioneers".[2] Then the second phase could be placed somewhere between 1978 and 1980 for which Ian McFarlane described the groups as "the second generation".[3] The last period faceted "the third generation"[4] of punk groups that spanned from around 1981 to 1984 and diverged into two categories; the hardcore punk and the post-punk punk or dark punk. Brisbane's dark punk has been identified as closely related to the subgenres of horror punk and Deathrock from the West Coast USA that happened roughly around the same time.
The Pioneers[edit]
Kid Gallahad and The Eternals had formed as early as 1973 and created in Brisbane what was to become Brisbane's ill-reputed punk attitude after their debut at an RSL venue in the western suburbs of Brisbane. Chris Bailey, singer for the group, recollected his observations of this first gig's calamity to the fanzine Sniffin' Glue in 1976, "Then after our second drummer walked out and we almost called it 'quits' but we decided to keep playing to the 30 people (from an original 150 patrons) who were still with us. Before the last number the manager of the hall arrived with cops, turned off the power... The cops told us they would confiscate our equipment if we didn't go, so we went".[5] By the end of 1975 the band inducted Kym Bradshaw onto bass and moved Ivor Hay onto drums. Following this the band changed its name to The Saints.
The Saints came to the attention of the English musical press with the "(I'm) Stranded" single. This song arrived with much fanfare, as it fitted neatly into the conventional punk sound and attitude in London. Jon Savage, UK journalist and punk historian, noted that The Saints "had been developing in near isolation for three years, but it took just one review in Sounds magazine to make their career."[6] The Saints arrived in England in 1977 but soon found that their hair and image didn't fit the idealistic, English punk, stylistic dress codes. The English were hoping for spiky hair and brothel creepers, instead finding an appearance similar to street bums with attitude. Ed Kuepper, guitarist for The Saints reflected on their arrival in the UK, "By the time we got here the initial spirit already died out, it was very contrived. There were too many people following slavishly after. We had problems because we didn't look new wave."[7] However, that aside, The Saints reached the UK charts with their song "This Perfect Day", when the Sex Pistols were at their most infamous with their chart topping "God Save the Queen" single. Eventually in 1978 The Saints disbanded but not before releasing two albums, "(I'm) Stranded" and "Eternally Yours" and the classic "Know Your Product" single. It has been said the "[The Saints] created one of the greatest R&B – fuelled rock songs of all time."[8] The "Prehistoric Sounds" LP was released in 1979 after they had disbanded. The Saints reformed in 1980; however, their punk edge was lost without "Ed Kuepper's relentless power chords."[8]
I'm Stranded, the song, has since been awarded Australian Performing Rights Association's Top 30 Australian songs of all time, reaching number 15, in 2001 to celebrate APRA's 75th anniversary.[9]
Around 1976, The Leftovers formed in Sandgate, far north Brisbane, to eventually gain local cult fame due to the stories of the band's existentialist approach to life. "Raw, intoxicated, energetic and antisocial" proclaimed 4ZZZ's Behind the Banana Curtain, a CD compilation of bands that documents 25 years of 4ZZZ broadcasting.[10] The Leftover's history was plagued by many altercations and distractions that included "story of prison, the shocking aftermath of attempted suicide and now-numerous deaths".[11] In 1979, they released their only single, "Cigarettes and Alcohol" which is considered a seminal part of Brisbane's punk history.
Another punk band from the early period was The Survivors. They were included on the "Lethal Weapons" compilation of Australian punk bands that came out in early 1978. Their drummer, Bruce Anthon, a proficient musician, went on to play various instruments for more sophisticated blues and jazz groups. Jim Dickson, their bassist went on to play for profile bands that included The Barracudas, Passengers, The Deniz Tek Group and Radio Birdman.
During this era Brisbane punk rock occasioned mostly halls such as the Hamilton Hall and Toowong RSL hall as venues. Brisbane's newly founded FM radio station in November 1975, 4ZZZ, became Brisbane's most important local music content broadcaster. John Stanwell, original Arts Administrator for 4ZZZ, commented in 2000 that 4ZZZ was "The first (Radio) station in the world to play The Saints" .[12] The era was close-documented by a number of publications, firstly the fanzine SSuicide Alley, which was arguably Australia's first punk fanzine, produced in Brisbane in early 1977 by Andrew McMillan and Clinton Walker. Both went on to become noted (music) writers, and Walker in particular offered detailed coverage of the late 70s Brisbane scene through his contemporary work for UQ paper Semper and the fanzine Pulp, and his later books Inner City Sound (1982) and ''Stranded'' (1996).
The Second Phase[edit]
The Brisbane punk movement took off following 1978. A lot more bands formed and were given air time on Community radio station 4ZZZ, with it being said that "4ZZZ FM DJs Michael Finucan, Tony Biggs, Bill Riner, Mark Bracken, Phil Cullen and Andy Nehl were influential in playing the new music."[13] One of the bands that benefited from 4ZZZ airplay was Razar with their song Task Force, the B-side to the Stamp out Disco single. Their music was tight, fast and brash, led by the energetic playing of their guitarist Steve Mee. The song Task Force essentially was about the Queensland Police Task Force special branch. As stated in the Behind the Banana Curtain CD, "Razar's Task Force, released in 1978, referred to Brisbane's notorious undercover police."[10] Razar was like a beacon to the local constabulary, as were most high profile Brisbane punk groups, often receiving intense scrutiny from the local constabulary. Dave Darling, 4ZZZ's and (later) an independent concert promoter, recalled such events, "We encountered problems with police just like everybody else did that tried to run a venue...9 out of 10 of them I don't think ever made the final song...and disguise them from Task Force knowing they were on, but eventually in the course of the night one of them would find out and next thing you know you had all of them there..."[14]
The Fun Things, originally known as The Aliens, were an outfit that characterised the Detroit inspired "Sydney Sound" and did homage to the "spirit of their heroes"[15] Radio Birdman with the song called When the Birdmen Fly released on The Fun Things self-titled EP. However, the song Savage seemed more closely connected with Brisbane's punk identity. Although The Fun Things were not quite as socially rebellious towards Brisbane society in compared to other leading Brisbane punk bands, they nevertheless enjoyed a reputation for tight energetic music. According to Brad Shepherd, singer/guitarist for the group, "The Fun Things were if not gifted plagiarists, at the very least a bunch of excitable Brisbane teenagers with extremely good taste in music."[10] The band members, Brad Shepherd, John Hartley and Murray Shepherd went on to join other bands, most notably in the early to mid-1980s with the Hoodoo Gurus for Brad and The Screaming Tribesmen for Hartley and Murray Shepherd.
Other players from this second phase included The Lounge Lizards, The Humans, The Toy Watches, Gerry Mander and the Boundaries, The fractions, The Upsets, Swell Guys, The Hard Ons (not to be confused with the later Sydney surf thrash band), The Fuji Angels, The Young Identities, Flying Squad, The Alphabet Children, Sabotage, Malicious Joy, Subverts (one gig on Caxton Street) and The Pits. Most of these bands, with the exception of Fuller Banks & the Debentures, who supported The Stranglers at the Queens Hotel, played rather spasmodically, generally around hall gigs. The Stranglers went on to record a single in 1979, called Nuclear Device which was sardonically written about the Premier of Queensland, Joh Bjelke-Peterson and his political regime. The song was a minor hit in the UK charts.
Also during 1979 the song Sunset Strip released by The Numbers, later renamed The Riptides, sounded like a punk-like tune, which had regular 4ZZZ airplay, however, it has been regarded as more English-flavoured 1960s-inspired pop sound than punk rock.[16]
Venues that hosted punk gigs, largely booked and promoted by 4ZZZ, during this second phase include The Exchange Hotel, The Queens Hotel, The Curry Shop, The Baroona Hall, The Ahepa Hall, The Silver Dollar Disco, The Brisbane Hotel, Colossus Hall, Cloudland, The Majestic Hotel, Sally's Coffee Lounge, Caxton St. Hall, Darra Hall, Pinnochios, The Cleveland Sands Hotel, The Seven Hills College of Art, Griffith and Queensland Universities and even Pips Nightclub. Other places worth a mention were Rotten Import Records, a shop dedicated to punk music in 1978 and The Elizabeth Street Bar (nicknamed White Chairs) which became an important hang out for those of a Punk/ New Wave/Alternative persuasion during the stretch of 1980 to 1987.
Brisbane's Third Generation[edit]
This phase centred on the early to mid-1980s. The dark mood of the bands reflected the changing dynamics of punk. "As the restrictive measures of punk, and all the clichéd fashion statements it entailed, came to a close, post punk groups took up the gauntlet. These exciting new bands used the DIY spirit to launch a more introspective, even gloomy, but still vibrant sound." said Jason C. Reeher in his review of Post Punk. Many of the Brisbane bands absorbed the darker edge due to the post-punk fashion; however, several of these newer groups continued on the same seditious punk path that was distinctive to Brisbane.
Zits, an infamous punk venue in the Fortitude Valley during 1982, was instrumental for putting on the early appearances of last wave punk groups such as Mystery of Sixes (mix of hardcore punk and death rock influenced by The Stranglers and Bauhaus),[17] Vampire Lovers (garage – death rock style of punk) and Public Execution (Black Flag inspired). T. Flew suggested in his paper about the music scene in Brisbane of the time, "Part of the reason live music in The Valley was so prosperous during this time was the abundance of illegal brothel and casinos located in the area which were frequented on a regular basis."[18]
The Mystery of Sixes self-titled song Mystery of Sixes received substantial airplay on 4ZZZ. Jello Biafra, (Dead Kennedys) reviewed their EP's songs as such, "this Brisbane band is a little more on the post-punk side. They definitely live in their own world, especially when the Arabic – style vocals on the title song are taken into account. The lyrics have Satanic overtones."[19] Les 'Bez' Jobson, their vocalist, diversified their sound by adding percussion to some of their songs. It was asserted in 2000 that "the band quickly gained a reputation for courting controversy," by being banned by the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal and by the acts of violence at various times perpetrated upon them with knives and guns.[17] Behind the Banana Curtain CD notes on the band commented, "In true rock'n'roll form, they rolled their van near Sarina, signed a bad contract and were shot at by a disgruntled punter while at their practice room at Kuraby.[15] The Mystery of Sixes, along with Public Execution. supported the Dead Kennedys in Brisbane in 1983. The Mystery of Sixes broke up in 1985. Bez Jobson later went on to form punk/metal band The Dreamkillers in the early 1990s with other members of mid 1980's bands Pictish Blood, Insane Hombres, as well as 1990's Psychotic Lemmings and FAT.
Meanwhile, the Vampire Lovers were the type of group, according to the Bucket full of Brains magazine, to "embody an enjoyably snotty early eighties zombie-punk-schlock vibe."[20] The Vampire Lovers had a tumultuous kind of spirit that caused some notoriety but "they overcame" their adversities to "succeed in releasing two popular singles" in 1983 and 1984.[21] Buzzsaw Popstar, their first record, according to the Behind the Banana Curtain compilation CD, "became an Australian 'indie' chart success."[15] The Vampire Lovers featured Axle 'Axe Babe' Conrad whose "uniquely tortured pipes"[22] was complimented by the raw guitar work of Matt Nasty. They disbanded in 1984 only to reform in 1988 after the popularity of the Buzzsaw Popstar 1987 single re-release. They went on to mix their sound with a hybrid of later 1980s hard psyche/ speed metal/ punk thrash styles.
During the same early 1980s period 'hardcore' punk bands also appeared in Brisbane, particularly from 1983 onwards. Most recognisable of the hardcore groups were the La Fetts. In 1985, La Fetts wrote a song SEQEB Scabs, which was about the sacked electricity workers of the time. In the Behind the Banana Curtain CD it was stated that, "Despite the fear of litigation, 4ZZZ still played the song on high rotation for many months."[23]
Of other Punk bands of Brisbane's third generation were New Improved Testament, Public Execution, Black Assassins, Pictish Blood, Dumb Show, Strange Glory, The Differentials and studio band The Parameters – who were known for their punk spirit song Pig City released in September 1984.
Popular venues from this particular time include Amyl's Nitespace, Zits, The Australian National Hotel, The New Exchange Hotel, The Atcherley Hotel, Whispers, Griffith and Queensland Universities, The Factory, The Palomino (later The Outpost), Runcorn Hall and the South Brisbane Blind Hall. The Treasury Hotel downstairs, near the Elizabeth Street Bar (White Chairs) became an important hang out for those of a Hardcore Punk and Oi! persuasion during the stretch of 1983 to 198(?)
From Punk to Alternative Rock[edit]
During 1983 a large number of Alternative acts appeared in the local underground music scene. Brisbane's original spirit of punk begun to wane; eventually it was lost in 1985. It was superseded by the Alternative Rock movement. It has been said, "Essentially, "alternative" is a catch-all for post-punk bands that appeared as new wave began to die out in 1983–84, and runs all the way into 1995, when alternative pop/rock is the mainstream."[24]
Although a number of Brisbane bands continued with punk after 1984, they became part of the alternative rock scene. The Brisbane punk groups of the late 1980s were influenced by the strong Sydney music scene. Stylistically or in a Punk fashion sense, the bands and the fans replaced the generic style of outlandish hair (for the period), cheap items of attire, sewn-in tight trousers, leather and PVC for longer hair, casual clothing sometimes incorporating skater shorts and skateboards, which was in line with the skate punk style.
Bands such as The Screaming Tribesmen and Presidents 11 began with aspects derived from punk in the early 1980s, however, they quickly diverged beyond the genre to explore wider alternative tastes. Also since the early 1980s an assortment of Punk fusion bands proliferated the local punk movement to contemporary times, with a mixture of various musical styles that belonged outside punk rock including Country and Western, Ska, Rockabilly and Heavy Metal.
In October 2006, Fat Mans Cleavage, an independent punk rock band from Brisbane, won the Radio Triple J Unearthed Taste of Chaos Competition in Queensland.[25] This enabled them to play on the same bill as US bands Anti Flag and Taking Back Sunday at the Taste of Chaos show in Brisbane at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
Demographics of Brisbane Punk Bands 1976 to 1983[edit]
The Brisbane punk scene, during the later 1970s to the early 1980s, consisted of a broad array of punk bands. However, a lot of these bands were either formed or located in a cluster situated within the southern suburbs of Mount Gravatt and Macgregor, Queensland (The Survivors, Razar, Just Urbain, The Young Identities/Kicks, AlphabetChildren/Flying Squad, Vampire Lovers and Strange Glory). Some other south suburb punk bands came from the outer region near Beenleigh (The Hard-Ons, Sabotage/Mystery of Sixes, Die Tanzen). Inner-south Brisbane bands were Malicious Damage/Public Execution. The Pits originated from Brisbane's South East.
However, almost just as many punk bands were formed in the western suburbs. The region ranged from the inner suburbs, which was nearby to the University of Queensland, to the middle-outer areas such as Gailes and Goodna and the far outer suburbs like the satellite city of Ipswich. Many fans of hardcore punk, Oi! punk and the skinhead movement originated from these western suburbs. Westside bands include The Saints, The Numbers, Funthings, The Upsets/Resistance, Toy Watches, The Differentials, The Black Assassins, The Fits/La Fetts and Dumb Show.[26]
Terms like Gap kids (West) from The Gap, Queensland and Macgregor kids (South) were used by punks in the late 1970s and early 1980s to describe the punks from that suburban region or High School in which they belonged to or attended.[27]

Little India Riot COI: Officers on ambulance ran moments before it was torched
Published on Mar 18, 2014 2:03 PM
Officers on an ambulance, taking cover from raining projectiles during the Little India riot on Dec 8, were told by members of the unruly mob to run moments before the vehicle was torched.
"I shouted to the rioters, my medics have come here to help you," said Staff Sergeant Yaacob Kamis on Day 19 of the Committee of Inquiry into the riot on Tuesday. "One of them shouted to me: 'You all run, you all run'."
This exchange came after an overturned police vehicle directly in front of the ambulance was razed. The eight officers on board, comprising two traffic policemen, two Certis Cisco auxiliary officers (APO) and four SCDF officers, spent about 10 seconds weighing their options before evacuating after the rear door of the ambulance was opened by rioters, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) ambulance medical orderly of 29 years.
Among those on board was Traffic Police Station Inspector (SI) Muhammad Adil Lawi, who has told the committee that the decision to run, in a video that has come under much scrutiny online, was not an act of cowardice but because "the threat was very real". Deputy Commissioner of Police T. Raja Kumar had also praised SI Adil for being a "brave officer" who took charge under duress.

Daybreak: Israelis Uneasy About Haiti Aid
Plus Qaeda in Israel, the tefillin non-bomb, and more in the news
ŌĆó Israelis are oddly torn over their militaryŌĆÖs heroic efforts in Haiti. The government wants the world to take note; the right wonders why the world doesnŌĆÖt take note more; the left wonders why Israel doesnŌĆÖt behave similarly in slightly more proximate (and also catastrophic) Gaza. [NYT]
ŌĆó Plans for a wall along IsraelŌĆÖs Egyptian border took on new urgency, as military experts warned of the potential for Sudanese to enter the country illegally and establish Qaeda-backed cells. [JPost]
ŌĆó Even as President Obama admitted to setting Mideast expectations too high, his regional envoy, George Mitchell, relaunched the peace push in talks with Israeli leadership; today, he meets with their Palestinian counterparts. [AP/Haaretz]
ŌĆó U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also called for peace talks, and reiterated his opposition to Jewish construction in East Jerusalem. [Haaretz]
ŌĆó American-Jewish journalist Jared Malsin said he believes his expulsion from Israel was politically motivated. [Ynet]
ŌĆó Finally, the Times has a nice postmortem on yesterdayŌĆÖs incident in which a flight attendant freaked out over a tefillin-wearing young man and grounded the plane. What sayeth the offending Westchester County 17-year-oldŌĆÖs rabbi? ŌĆ£I would suggest, pray on the plane and put the tefillin on later.ŌĆØ [NYT]

Sweden Rock Festival is an annual rock/metal festival held in Sweden since 6 June 1992. While having a clear rock/metal focus, the festival is noted for its diversity across these genres, having featured southern rock bands such as Molly Hatchet to death metal legends like Obituary. 90 acts are booked for 2015!

Sweden has not taken part in any of the wars of the modern era, which may explain the Swedes' somewhat guarded attitude towards celebrating a national day. They are proud of their country but don't seem to feel any great need to show it. Previously, 6 June was not a public holiday, and for many people the only sign that this was a special occasion was the decoration of buses with Swedish flags.

In a city where people go missing and get lost for ever, Bandra resident Abdullah Shaikh considers himself lucky, and wise. He was reunited with his mentally disturbed son Mehboob after a good Samaritan spotted the boy at Virar railway station. The wise part of the story is that Mehboob has a tattoo on his arm that has his family's address and a contact number.
Apart from poor mental health, 18-year-old Mehboob from Nehru Nagar, Bandra (E), can't see much in both his eyes. His father Abdullah works as a waiter at Café Mela, a restaurant located in Kamathipura area of Mumbai Central. Abdullah had filed a missing complaint on March 31.
"Around noon on Friday I was waiting to board a Churchgate-bound train when I noticed a confused youngster on platform No.8. I gave him a vada pav and water. He gobbled down the snack and gulped the water in no time," said Rajesh Gagh, who works as a volunteer with Jeevan Anand Sanstha at Khar.
Jeevan Anand works with homeless people and helps them reunite with their families. Gagh said he noticed a tattoo on the boy's arm. "It had a phone number and an address." he said.
Gagh then called up his brother-in-law Rakesh Shirke who works at Kherwadi police station. "The details of the boy I found at Virar matched with the one in the missing complaint filed by Abdullah," said Gagh, adding, "Mehboob was then to Jeevan Anand where his family was waiting anxiously to see him," said Gagh.
"We had been given Mehboob's description. Since we did not have his photo, it would have been a daunting task to trace him had it not been for Gagh's alertness," said Rajesh Teli from Kherwadi police station.
Abdullah said Mehboob often wanders off and had gone missing on four previous occasions. He said, "When he was 14, he went missing for two months. Someone had admitted him to a children's home in Mankhurd. That's when I got our phone number and address tattooed on his arm. He said he went walking till Bandra station and boarded a train. He is fascinated by trains."
