Interview with Dr. A. B. Numerova
A. B. Numerova; February 4, 1988
ABSTRACT: This interview with A. B. Numerova covers the life and career of her father, the Soviet celestial mechanician B. V. Numerov (1891-1941). It concentrates on Numerov's later years, in particular on his arrest in 1936, his subsequent imprisonment, and his apparent execution in 1941. Also discussed at length are other astronomers who were arrested during the Great Purges.
McCutcheon:But there are such rumors?
Numerova:There are rumors that they want to liquidate the Astronomical Institute.
Numerova:Join it to Pulkovo, but is that possible? They are different things.
McCutcheon:I didn't know that all.
Numerova:Because until recently the director was Lavrov
McCutcheon:At the Astronomical Institute?
Numerova:Yes. He had absolutely nothing to do with astronomy. He is in information science. He is a mathematician. He was concerned with [computing] machines and kept astronomy down. Well, there was something of a scandal there. There were letters to the newspaper, and they removed this Lavrov. But they gave him the possibility of organizing LIPA (laughs). [Translator's note: Lipa is slang for "forgery" in Russian.]
Numerova:LIPA — that's the Leningrad Institute of Applied Astronomy. But lipa means nonsense in that sense.
McCutcheon:Understood — understood; that's funny. I didn't know that.
Numerova:They had to remove him and get rid of him because he messed up the work. So they got rid of him. They gave him a part — they allotted a certain part to him and later they chopped off from there some of the people from the theoretical department. Now the Astronomical Institute has become larger. But there are such rumors. I don't know if they are true or not true.
McCutcheon:He [Viktor Abalakin] didn't say anything to me, but perhaps he wouldn't have said [anything] to me.
Numerova:No, he wouldn't have said anything to you. They say this is his big dream.
McCutcheon:Abalakin's dream?
Numerova:Yes, yes, yes so as not to lose both one and the other.
McCutcheon:Because previously he was exclusively at the Astronomical Institute
Numerova:Because he doesn't have any scientific theme at Pulkovo Observatory. They even criticize him for this.
McCutcheon:He worked in celestial mechanics at the observatory.
Numerova:He worked on the yearbook. Here at the observatory he doesn't do anything — in the sense of science.
McCutcheon:[He is an] administrator.
Numerova:An administrator. You understand? And of course it would be in his interests to join the Astronomical Institute [to Pulkovo]. And if they close down the yearbook, then he will still have the institute for his scientific work. But in my opinion this cannot be done. Such things... Because this...
McCutcheon:They have always been separate institutions throughout their existence.
Numerova:Yes, they always were And, moreover, it is the creation of my father, and why should it be done? It's a different situation there.
McCutcheon:Do you know what I found in the archives? I didn't know anything about this. That in 1930, when Ivanov retired as director
Numerova:Yes, yes, yes.
McCutcheon:Your father was nominated to become director [of Pulkovo].
Numerova:The Scientific Council.
McCutcheon:Was that the Scientific Council or the Council of Astronomers at that time?
Numerova:That was the Scientific Council, and my father was a member of this Scientific Council: The Scientific Council unanimously.
McCutcheon:Adopted a resolution to name [Numerov the new Pulkovo director].
Numerova:Yes, yes, yes, yes. And they sent some kind of Drozd [instead].
McCutcheon:Who was this Drozd? Until this time I still don't have any understanding of him.
Numerova:He was a nobody... a nobody both by his scientific credentials and by his human credentials. This was an ephemeral person. And then Gerasimovich came several years later. Now he, of course, was an astrophysicist. He and my father were on good terms. But you eat. Perhaps we should turn off the tape recorder for a bit. Otherwise it will be recording all the time.
McCutcheon:It is better to have all than nothing.
Numerova:Well, please eat. Take some bread.
McCutcheon:Alright. Thank you.
Numerova:Only I want to say that you must... I have a cold... This is already the sixth day that I am sick. So you should be careful. I have given you separate utensils and towels.
McCutcheon:I am very healthy.
Numerova:But when you get home be sure to take some [sort of medication]. I don't have any here or something. You understand because now we have
McCutcheon:We've already been to the polyclinic today for my wife.
Numerova:Yes? Is she ill?
McCutcheon:Well, it's not that she's ill. [Break] Perhaps I really will turn off [the tape recorder].
Numerova:I've had to concern myself with publishing my father's selected works. I began by writing to all academicians. I wrote to Kharadze. I wrote to Potiadi [?]. Then in any case I wrote to Zverev and Abalakin. At that time Abalakin was not yet a corresponding member, but together they [Zverev and Abalakin] could [influence publication]. But of them the only one who did anything was Kharadze. Kharadze loved my father very much. He was my father's graduate student. Kharadze is a very noble person, and he did what needed to be done — he wrote a letter to the publishing house.
McCutcheon:To the "Nauka" publishing house?
Numerova:To "Physics-Mathematics Literature" in Moscow. Then he sent me a copy of what he had written. And they sent this to the chief editor for astronomical literature, and he sent it on to Pulkovo. I went to Abalakin with a copy of this letter. And I began calling Abalakin. But he told me he didn't remember whether or not this letter had arrived at Pulkovo or not. You understand? He doesn't remember he doesn't know. Well, o.k., again I say, how can that be? Yes, I told Zverev that he should find out in Moscow. I told him over the telephone some sort of person that he should find out there what is going on. But Zverev he either didn't understand or he treated this somewhat thoughtlessly. He decided that there is still a lot of time. But the jubilee is in January 1991. And Zverev decided that there is still a lot of time, and he told me: "Yes, I was in Moscow, and there they gave us some time — a year — to think about it." And I said: "There isn't anything to think about here. We must have everything to the publisher by 1988 because it will take two more years to print it. More red tape... My book took five years. I put in my request [for publication] in 1979, but (the book) came out only in 1984. So five years went by. It could take less time now, but we must present everything [to the publisher] already in 1988. We must give this book to the publisher in December 1988.
McCutcheon:It sounds as though this work is not going fast enough for [everything] to be ready.
Numerova:No, it can be done. It can be done. I will do it. It's o.k. if they don't include anything of mine — it's not important to me —and its o.k. if they don't pay me. But I as my father's daughter will do this. Well, at last, at the end of December (1987) they wrote a letter to Moscow. Then I went to Batrakov. Batrakov also I told him that I needed his support because just Pulkovo Observatory is not enough — the Astronomical Institute's support is needed too, that is to say, [the Institute of Theoretical Astronomy] ITA. [Note: The Astronomical Institute was renamed ITA after World War II.] All the more so since he [Batrakov] is the acting director [of ITA] Batrakov is a celestial mechanic. He is a doctor of science, but And now they have given him the title of Honored Scientist. Batrakov. He could even become the director. But I don't know whether or not he will become director. Batrakov also wrote a letter, and that was what was needed. Then I in January [1988] — I went to a rest home. Before leaving I went to Zverev and gave him list of [my fathers] papers on astrometry. I gave him all the lists and cards. Those cards that I even have some reprints with which to begin the work but the leadership — no. We have to make microfilm or Xerox copies. We must do something. He [Zverev] said that he would give it all to the library. Then he will try to get that "Eroi1' machine to work and make Xerox copies. And I thought when I returned that everything would be moving forward. But when I returned [from the rest home], Zverev hadn't done anything.
McCutcheon:Everything had simply sat there.
Numerova:Yes. Everything simply sat there. Then I said to him [Zverev]: "I will come to see you." He said: "Don't come. I will turn everything over [to the library]." We agreed that I would come some other day. Then he called me: "Don't come. I've spoken with Abalakin — Abalakin will find out in what form we need to present all this material. He doubts that Xerox copies are needed." Well, in general, that he will find out. And until now he is finding out. And I became ill. But I must go to Pulkovo. If I don't do it, then no one will do anything. You understand?
McCutcheon:That's a shame.
Numerova:Yes. That's how it is. But why? After all, they also —
McCutcheon:But I don't understand. This is a very important anniversary. Especially now that there is glasnost' in the Soviet Union and the people who suffered in the past are being written about.
They have written about Vavilov in the newspapers. Several books have come out about Nikolai Ivanovich [Vavilov]. And there could be [books and articles] about my father. Well, now you can turn off [Break] But my mother — she left very interesting reminiscences. She spent a long time writing them. And all the time she was writing new things would come out. So her reminiscences are very interesting and very Indeed, she worked with my father in the Astronomical Institute. She wasn't always on the staff, but she always knew about all the work and what was going on. And I consider her reminiscences to be most important because she speaks about complex things using simple words. And others [other people] have written something. Zverev, for example, doesn't know how to do popular writing. That is his shortcoming.

This chapter is devoted to Mind in relation to external reality. Hegel delineates the self-conscious process of mind in a new formula to emphasize a different aspect of it. He describes his perception of the mind-body connection through writing that there is mind's thinking in relation to reality, and mind's biotic relation to reality. The results of these movements of thought cause the formation of principles or laws. He then shows readers more about how these work, along with what naturally follows from this.
There are laws of thought. These are connected with logic. In Hegel's time, complex logic and its systematic relation to information technologies was unknown. However, some logic and complex...

Investigators probing the bomb threat call have found that the anonymous call was made from Tiruchi using a cell phone.
Studying the call details of the mobile number, the police found that the call was made from Tiruchi and immediately got in touch with that number. The tower locations of the anonymous caller showed different places in Tiruchi on Wednesday morning.
Later, two short text messages received from the same cell phone number to GRP personnel – one threatening that a bomb had been planted in the train and another conveying "sorry."
Police sources said a pre-paid SIM card was used for making the threat call and the address of the SIM card-holder had been traced to Thiruverkadu in Chennai.
The sources said the Cantonment police had received a complaint from a city resident in May that an anonymous caller had abused him over the phone.
He had mentioned in the complaint the cell phone number from which he got the call.
It was the same number from which the bomb threat was made on Wednesday.

Word that the first presidential debate had made Big Bird a factor in the election reached the puppet's sole surviving creator at his new home in New Zealand. "Amazing," says Christopher Lyall, who assisted the late Kermit Love in producing the first Big Bird, as well as the successors for decades afterward. Lyall says of the present electoral process in general, "It's very frustrating having to observe the political games and the lies." Click to learn more... Lyall and Love were partners in work and life for half a century and in the 1980s traveled with Big Bird to the White House for the annual Easter egg roll. The most momentous results of that presidential nexus were the grass stains on Big Bird's outsize feet. Nobody could have imagined that this puppet might someday play even the smallest role in deciding who would occupy the Oval Office. "We'll see," Lyall says. The possible political impact of this 8-foot-2 yellow plumed character takes a turn from the ridiculous to the delightfully apt when you consider this: Big Bird was the product of a profound partnership between two men that was in every way a marriage save for in the strictly legal sense that the law until very recently forbade. "Where he was, I was," Lyall says. With a thumbnail sketch from Muppets creator Jim Henson of one of those toy birds that perch on the edge of a glass and dip their beaks, Love set to work. He summoned gifts he had begun developing in 1935 in a theater that was part of the Works Progress Administration, the economic-stimulus effort of its time. He had gone on to such projects as a 28-foot marionette for the 1965 Balanchine production of Don Quixote. As Love now undertook what was to be his most famous work, he enlisted his partner, Lyall, who had worked as a dress cutter in a garment factory before he left his native New Zealand to pursue a career as a dancer. Lyall had originally met Love while rehearsing for a show in London. The two had subsequently gotten together when Lyall visited America. "He said, 'Would you like to come to New York for a few days?'" Lyall says. "I said, 'I only have a few days.'" Soon after, Lyall moved stateside. Their match proved all the more perfect as they made Big Bird. Love began in a wondrous whirl, fashioning a kind of prototype. "Patched together with bits and pieces," Lyall says. Lyall provided the supporting structure, employing quarter-inch nylon boning sheathed in muslin to facilitate sewing. He had been fascinated by the flat pattern makers in the garment factory back home, and he now made a scale drawing on brown paper, later to be used for full-size patterns. The most time-intensive element was the feathers, which were always turkey feathers, dyed yellow. They were attached upside down, at Love's insistence, to give Big Bird a slightly scruffy, ruffled look. "[Kermit] was very particular about the way the bird looked, and he always got his way," Lyall says. "He was a very determined person." The two labored with the boundless energy and tireless dedication that would be seen in the start-ups of later decades, but with a purer, more immediate goal. "It wasn't about money," Lyall says. "It was about doing." And they kept doing, making a new Big Bird when an old one became worn and was relegated to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade now that wind and rain damage were no longer a big worry. Still more Big Birds were needed for concerts and street appearances. Each new bird took roughly three weeks to make. Feathers remained the big challenge, even after a glue gun took the place of hand sewing. A crisis loomed when feathers became trendy in the fashion world, resulting in a shortage. "The couture industry always got the priority," Lyall says. Love remained a perfectionist when it came to the bird. "The way the bird looked, the way it was presented," Lyall says. Love insisted the feathers be ruffled just enough, the eyes be at just the right angle. "So it was looking at you," Lyall says. There was one guiding word to all the effort. "Integrity."

From a privacy and security perspective, an ideal payment system would permit payment transactions with the anonymity of cash but would also deter fraud. It would protect against identity theft but also discourage money laundering.
Although reasonable people may disagree about whether Bitcoin is that ideal payment system, Bitcoin is worth studying for its privacy and security lessons and its potential to emerge as an important additional payment system.
Although reasonable people may disagree about whether Bitcoin is that ideal payment system, Bitcoin is worth studying for its privacy and security lessons and its potential to emerge as an important additional payment system.
1. Limited Collection and Use of Information.
One of the defining features of Bitcoin is the ability to process transactions with limited sharing of personal information. The merchant provides its Bitcoin address to the customer. In a physical store at point-of-sale, this can occur through the merchant showing a QR code that the customer scans with his or her mobile Bitcoin digital wallet App. Because each Bitcoin is accounted for in a public register of every transaction in the Bitcoin network, the customer, there is no chargeback risk once the merchant has received confirmations against the public register. There is no need to collect or use information about the customer for the purpose of the transaction (although information may be collected for points programs, warranties, and delivery of products, etc.). Unlike cash, there is less need to be concerned with fake bills.
2. Consumer Safeguards for Transaction.
Bitcoin permits the use of disposable addresses and each transaction is cryptographically protected. A merchant or customer can create a new address to which a person can send or receive Bitcoins for every transaction. In addition, the cryptographic nature of the currency means that each transaction is supported by a public and private key. Provided that the private key is kept secure by its owner, the ability to conduct a fraudulent transaction is substantially reduced. In processing a transaction, the merchant does not have access to the private key information that would be necessary to allow a third party to fraudulently use the consumer's wallet. The merchant is responsible for safeguarding the merchant's wallet; the consumer is responsible for safeguarding the consumer's wallet.
3. Ability to Trace Bitcoin Chain and Gatekeeper Nodes.
Although the jury is still out, there is no prima facie reason why there cannot be gatekeeper nodes to deter money laundering...
Although the jury is still out, there is no prima facie reason why there cannot be gatekeeper nodes to deter money laundering...
Another defining feature of Bitcoin is that each transaction is recorded in a publicly verifiable chain of transactions. This means that it is possible to trace all exchanges involving particular Bitcoins. What is interesting is that even though it is possible to maintain a high degree of anonymity in connection with the transaction itself using techniques that go beyond this brief note, there will be certain instances where anonymity will not be possible, such as when exchanging Bitcoins for a national currency or vice versa. Although the jury is still out, there is no prima facie reason why there cannot be gatekeeper nodes to deter money laundering.
Whatever one thinks of Bitcoin's future, these privacy and security measures are worth further thought and analysis when considering digital payment systems.

Hi! We moved into a house built in 1993, in which all the interior doors are this gawd-awful dirty-yellow-cream-coloured plastic, moulded to look like wood. Given the other colours in house, painting them a dark apricot or brick colour would work well. But i'll make-do with white if need be.My guess is that standard latex interior paint is not going to adhere at all. How would I go about doing this? How does one paint plastic? I have twelve doors to do in total.Or ... would the only option be to replace them?Many thanks for your help and suggestions. :)
As this is a specific style of teaching, aimed at gifted or advanced students, with a degree of flexibility and customization not found in traditional curriculums, teachers my research paper will need to learn the best ways to work within the Montessori structure, and apply their educational background to this style of teaching.
Plastic painting is a good idea for christmas decoration. I have tried this kind of decoration during my high school days. We should teach our children to be more creative even just in simple things.
I would suggest you replace them. Plastic door can look a bit odd if not painted properly.
Choosing the best paint that will help to improve the environment in your space choose the a color that is lighter and will give a wide space.
I think there is no issue in painting plastic interior doors however if you want to choose colours for your interior doors then blue can be a good option.
There are special primers and paints made especially for painting over plastic. Check with your local hardware store.
This is a nice idea to paint doors such that it will look like wood .Now it may suit with your house and other decorative items made up of wood.
I was wondering what the correct procedure was for painting plastic interior panels, etc. I know you probably need to clean the part and then wash with some sort of solvent. what is the best way? I want this to last. i see some people with painted panels that chip really easily.

BJ'S BLOG 05/25/15 "Let the Music Play"
by BJ Shea
posted May 25 2015 10:40AM
Today's blog comes from one of my mentors, Dan Sanders:
With so much racial unrest in our sad little world, I thought I would view race from a musical standpoint. It's obvious when you look at the history of modern music that race played a major role in music as we know it now.
In 1946, King records began producing what was called race music, music produced primarily by and for African-Americans. People who had been brought to this country already full of rhythm and blues and gospel were forced into servitude by white land barons, but the whip could not silence their music. They found hope in their music, and these African people began to mingle with Native Americans, who themselves were already enslaved and close to being exterminated, clinging to their own music, beliefs, and hope for freedom. As these different musical traditions flowed into and around each other, a beautifully unique musical world was created. All of these cultural traditions formed the roots of jazz, American folk, gospel, and the blues. As I mentioned last week on his death, the music of blues great B.B. King was once labeled race music.
Fast-forward to 1954 and Blackboard Jungle, a film about a teacher at an inner-city school that featured Bill Haley and the Comets' "Rock Around the Clock" in the opening credits. The film helped boost the popularity of rock and roll among teens, but for the rest of the population, it raised fears that rock music was related to juvenile delinquency. In January 1957, the U.S. congress considered legislation that would require song lyrics to be screened by a review committee before they could be sold because of a controversy over so-called obscene lyrics.
As recently as February 2015, Cleveland's Fox 8 news anchor Kristi Capel used the word jigaboo during a live broadcast to describe Lady Gaga's music, saying "It's really hard to hear her voice with all that jigaboo music, whatever you want to call it...jigaboo." Apparently, Capel is one of the newsies with hair and no brains. I have some hope she didn't know that jigaboo was an old racial slur against African-Americans, a term I heard growing up in the south. What I don't get is why she used a word she probably didn't understand. Hair got in her eyes and affected her brain, I guess, as she made this statement.
We all have our own tastes in music, and thank god, or we might all be listening to nothing but spoons ensembles. I don't like rap, especially the violent, gang, damn-you type of rap, so I don't listen to it and hope it doesn't encourage violence. But rap music is an example of free speech, whether I like it or not, and it is music to some ears. Anyone who tries to stop rap music is as much a racist as the first Americans who brought slaves to the colony of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619, or the people of 1946 who established race music as a genre or the congress of 1957. I still believe that music can save our mortal souls.
There are more thoughts on all this and other topics on the shores of Rambling Harbor. Play the podcast and join me there.

BJ'S BLOG 05/22/15 "Dressing Your Age"
by BJ Shea
posted May 22 2015 8:24AM
Happy Friday, Rock-A-Holics! Before you take off for the holiday weekend, we could use your help with some Group Therapy!
Today's patient-in-need is Doug, who texted us (at 7999, of course) looking for some advice about his wife. Doug thinks his wife – who is in her 50s - doesn't dress appropriately for her age, and he's a bit embarrassed by some of her choices. He insists that he loves his wife dearly, but she just doesn't have the figure to pull it off.
Some may disagree, but I think Madonna is a perfect example of a woman who doesn't dress her age. Sure, she's in great shape, but she still looks like an older woman to me, and I find myself wincing a bit when I see some of her clothing choices. I'll even admit that I had to ditch my preferred skater-casual style, because I was definitely in danger of looking like an old guy who's just trying too hard.
So, my opinion comes down in support of Doug. I'd love to hear from you, gang – are Doug and I being old-fashioned and sexist, or do you agree that older women should stay in their lane, and dress their age?

BJ'S BLOG 05/21/15 "Remove That Tattoo Before the Wedding!"
by BJ Shea
posted May 21 2015 7:54AM
Ah, it's that time of year again: flowers in bloom, sunshine on a regular basis, and love in the air. The conditions are perfect for a wedding…or Group Therapy.
Karen is in love, and the feeling is mutual. She and her boyfriend have been together for four years, and the guy proposed, in true romantic style, on a recent trip to the beach. There's just one problem: he has a very prominent tattoo of his ex-girlfriend's name on his arm. Karen wants it removed before they get married, but he's not too keen on going through that very painful process. So, she's wondering if she should put her foot down, or just move past it.
People have a lot of expectations that they foist upon other people, and this isn't the most typical situation, but I think that a lot of people would probably be sympathetic to Karen's position in this case. That being said, it's no easy feat to remove a tattoo, and the result can certainly be unattractive if things don't go too well.
I'm leaning in favor of the boyfriend here, but maybe you can persuade me otherwise, Rock-A-Holics…

BJ'S BLOG 05/20/15 "Posting Provocative Pictures"
by BJ Shea
posted May 20 2015 8:59AM
We want to see your good side, Rock-A-Holics!
Not like THAT…we're talking about the good side that is always ready to help out one of our own with some Group Therapy!
Today's topic comes from Will, who started following a woman on Instagram a while back. Most of her pictures are a little bit racy, and she has a large number of followers. Not long after Will started following her, she messaged him, wanting to hang out. Will was shocked, but he went for it…and two months later, they're officially a committed couple.
Unfortunately, the social-media-savvy new girlfriend hasn't taken her new relationship status as a sign that she should stop sharing her provocative photos online. She isn't willing to give up her fan following, but Will doesn't want his new mate sharing her goods with the mass audience. He's wondering if he should draw a line in the sand, or just let it go.
This is a tough one (aren't they all?) because Will met this woman under these established conditions, and got into a relationship with her, having full knowledge that she does this. Most guys don't want anyone else seeing their girlfriend in a revealed state, but I don't know if he has much room for negotiation here.
We'd love to hear your thoughts, good people!

BJ'S BLOG 05/19/15 "Wearing Something from a Deceased Ex"
by BJ Shea
posted May 19 2015 7:33AM
Hello again, Rock-A-Holics! We're gearing up for another session of Group Therapy, and we could really use your help!
Peter wrote in for some assistance with a dating situation. He's been dating his girlfriend for about eight months, and he is considering asking her to move in with him, but he's a little concerned about a particular ring that she's always wearing. When he asked her about it, she told him that the ring came from an ex-boyfriend, who gave it to her…before he died. Peter knew that she had an ex who died, and they were broken up, but still friends, before he passed away; he didn't know that the late ex gave her this ring.
Peter's girlfriend said that she wouldn't wear the ring if the ex was still alive, but she has chosen to honor his memory with it. Peter isn't very comfortable with that idea, and he's not sure what to do about it.
This is a tough one, folks. I can certainly understand the urge to keep that sentimental notion alive with a simple gesture like wearing a ring. It's also understandably a note of discomfort for her current boyfriend, who would like to get serious.
What are your thoughts, Rock-A-Holics?

BJ'S BLOG 05/18/15 "P.P. Arnold and Lisa Fischer: Musical Greats, Yes!"
by BJ Shea
posted May 18 2015 7:55AM
Today's blog comes from one of my mentors, Dan Sanders:
A friend got me to thinking the other day, an accomplishment most of my friends try to avoid. This friend once said, "Give Dan a subject, and he will think it to death." Another good friend from radio once introduced me, saying "Here is Dan Sanders. Give him a subject, and he'll give you 20 minutes whether he knows anything about it or not." I never believed those last eight words.
So I was thinking about the hidden talent and connections in music we forget or never even know about. For example, my friend told me the hit song "The First Cut Is the Deepest," a song I like a lot, was written by Cat Stevens, and he gave it to the great soul singer P.P. Arnold. P.P. Arnold recorded it in 1967 and had a hit. It's also interesting to note she was a member of the Ikettes, the troupe that provided vocal and dance accompaniment for the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. In 1973, "The First Cut Is the Deepest" was an international hit for Keith Hampshire, a well-known British singer who between July 1966 and mid-August 1967 was also a DJ for the offshore pirate radio station Radio Caroline. The Rod Stewart version of the song, which I and most of the world knows and loves, was not recorded until 1977.
Here's another name for you: Lisa Fischer. Any Rolling Stones fan has heard her a thousand times but might not know the name. Since 1989, she has toured with The Rolling Stones and is a popular background singer with Mick. Check her out on later versions of "Gimme Shelter" (Merry Clayton recorded the first version) and "Honky-Tonk Woman." She is also featured in a great documentary about background singers called 20 Feet from Stardom.
Just as I was finishing up this blog, I got the news that on this day, May 15, B.B. King died at age 89, the same day astronomers discovered a rare Quasar Quartet. More than ever, I want that job at WHEA, Heaven's Radio, where there are a multitude of great quartets. Can you imagine hearing "Goooooooood morning, universes, galaxies, and stars of all ages! We've got some B.B. King, Ben E. King, Percy Sledge, and James Brown to kick off your sunrise today!"
All of this got me into particularly ponderous pondering (god, don't you love alliteration?). I discovered not only something about a song I love but also about the first person to record it and the second and then more about them. I learned P.P. Arnold was one of the Ikettes and Keith Hampshire was a radio pirate on Radio Caroline, and I kept going. The history of one song, "The First Cut Is the Deepest," I found fascinating as one thing led to another, a result of song sleuthing, a term I made up to describe getting down to the deepest links. My interest in music details is why I became a DJ, or at least one of the reasons.
A few more song-sleuthing moments and other thoughts are on the shores of Rambling Harbor. Drop anchor and join me there.

BJ'S BLOG 05/15/15 "Cuddle Club"
by BJ Shea
posted May 15 2015 7:18AM
Here's an interesting bit of news that Steve discovered: a place called the Cuddle Club has recently opened in Seattle. The founder of this business -- a trained cuddler, if such a thing can truly be certified -- says that cuddling has health benefits that range from serotonin management to therapeutic treatment of PTSD and depression/anxiety disorders. For just 45 bucks, you can cuddle up with a professional for 30 minutes. The activity is monitored via camera, just to ensure that nothing inappropriate happens during your session.
I have to admit, I'm a little bothered by this. I know you can't be surprised by that revelation, but here's what I'm struggling with: it's a well-known fact that cuddling is more beneficial to women than it is to men, at least on a psychological level. I've read studies on the chemical releases within the human brain, and men and women have different biological responses to certain things. Women get their mental oil changed by cuddling, while men's brains have their chemical refresh via orgasm. So, why can we pay to cuddle with a professional, but paying for sex is still a completely taboo – and illegal – practice? It's fine if it benefits women, but men are once again left in the cold. I guess that just gets on my nerves.
What do you think, gang? Have you tried this? Would you? We'd love to hear your thoughts about, and/or experiences with, the world of professional cuddling…

BJ'S BLOG 05/14/15 "Emotional Cheating"
by BJ Shea
posted May 14 2015 7:29AM
Welcome back to Group Therapy, where Rock-A-Holics do their best to lend some emotional support to one of their own. We try to help, we really do…
Jeannie wrote in for some assistance with a marital problem. She and her husband have been married for ten years, but they're both really busy with work and life in general. As a result, they don't spend a lot of quality time together these days.
Jeannie started going to lunch with a male coworker, and they "really hit it off", in her words. Over the past year, they became very close, and Jeannie realized she was starting to fall for this guy. Although she insists that they never had any kind of physical contact, she does admit that things were getting out of hand with off-work text messages, and they even made plans to get together with the intent of taking things further. Luckily, they didn't follow through.
Gosh, I feel like I've said this a million times before, but let's give it one more try: ANY MAN WHO SHOWS YOU ATTENTION, BEYOND THE REQUIRED POLITE INTERACTION, IS INTERESTED IN MORE THAN A FRIENDSHIP.
Jeannie says the coworker has thankfully been promoted to a position in the company that keeps them away from each other, and they both agreed to cut the relationship off. Now, Jeannie is feeling guilty, and she wonders if she should come clean to her husband.
You know, we always start the Group Therapy radio segment with the reminder that professional help is available, but we rarely invoke that as actual advice. In this case, however, I believe that some counseling might be a good thing. Emotional cheating can be dismissed as harmless in our society, but I'm of the opinion that it's just as damaging as a physical indiscretion…and in some cases, perhaps even more so.
My suggestion of professional help doesn't mean that your opinions aren't needed here, folks! We'd love to hear

Hey, gang! We'll be back with some fresh Group Therapy soon enough…but today, we're going to throw you a topic of discussion that started on Reddit. A poster on that site asked men what they hate about other men, and here are some of the general points that were brought up:
"I hate men that want to fight other men."
"I hate guys who comment in true douchebag style on Facebook photo posts made by women."
"I hate ugly guys who are judgmental about attractive women."
This list is barely scratching the surface of things you can hate about your own gender, and that includes men AND women. So, let's hear from you, folks! What do you hate about your own gender?

BJ'S BLOG 05/12/15 "When We Want It Most"
by BJ Shea
posted May 12 2015 7:52AM
As a "morning guy", I am focused on work at 7:54 A.M. on the weekdays…but according to some recent research, I should be preoccupied with getting some action. That's right: some new data suggests that men want sex the most just before 8:00 in the morning, while women have their strongest urges at 11:21 P.M….which is well after I've gone to bed, since I have to get up so damn early!
As I sit here, surrounded by other dudes in a tiny room…well, let's just say that I'm slightly disturbed by these new statistics. As for the male-female scheduling issues that are raised by this information, I try to live by the Boy Scout motto: BE PREPARED.
It's all we can do, guys.
That being said, there is apparently a window of time that's good for syncing up between the sexes. 9 P.M. to 11 P.M. is the magic time period, so maybe you should turn off the DVR during those hours, and enjoy some "alternative programming" instead…
BJ'S BLOG 05/11/15 "Hey, Is That U2?"
by BJ Shea
posted May 11 2015 10:19AM
Today's blog comes from one of my mentors, Dan Sanders:
I lived and worked in New York City for over 10 years, at WPAC (now WALK), one of my first radio jobs. When I first moved there with my dad, he told me you could stand naked at noon in Times Square and crow like a rooster, and no one would notice. I never tested that theory and to my knowledge neither did my dad, but I believe it's true.
If you're from New York City, you make it very clear that's where you're from. It's not unusual to hear someone say "I'm from New York" and quickly add "the city, not the state"! New York City is truly the home of the strange, the bizarre, the scene, the never before seen, and many times, the wish you had not seen. Now imagine you're standing on a subway platform and you hear what sounds like a group of pretty decent street performers playing some U2 tunes. Not bad, you think, and then you notice that guy in the blue cowboy hat looks a lot like Bono and the dude in the sock hat could be the twin of "The Edge." Almost instantly, what to your wondering eyes and ears should appear but the wham-bam holy "Angel of Harlem" knowledge that you are actually standing next to the real U2 and they are doing an impromptu concert in the bowels of the New York subway system. That's pretty cool.
Of course, this hoopla was ahead of U2's May 8 performance on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show. Remember it was just back in November Bono had that bike accident in Central Park and later released a statement that his recovery had been much more difficult than he expected, saying "it is not clear that I will ever play guitar again." He said he would "miss fingering the frets of my green Irish Falcon or my (RED) Gretsch. Just for the pleasure, aside from writing tunes. Does the Edge, or Jimmy Page, or any guitarist you know have a titanium elbow, as I do now? I'm all elbows." But he recovered, and chances are good he will be fingering those frets for a long time to come.
There are certain songs that were just made to be sung, in the shower alone or in a group (not necessarily a group shower), songs that you might not even know all the words to but know just enough to sing loud and proud, songs like "Louie Louie." Jack Ely of the Kingsmen and the voice behind the most well-known version of that song died April 28 at 71. And who has not, at one time or another under the blistering heat of lunacy and arousal, broken into "You Sexy Thing"? Errol Brown, the lead singer of Hot Chocolate and the voice of "You Sexy Thing" and "Every 1's a Winner," died Wednesday, April 6. He was 71.
There's more on music, mayhem, and madness on the banks of Rambling Harbor. Come on ashore.

BJ'S BLOG 05/08/15 "Spouse Quitting Their Job"
by BJ Shea
posted May 8 2015 6:56AM
It's time for Group Therapy! If you're a Rock-A-Holic seeking help, then we'll do everything we can to offer you some advice. No guarantees and no refunds, but hey! At least it's free.
Today's patient-in-need is Kelly, who is worried about her husband's career path. It seems that he's quitting his stable job in favor of starting his own business, and Kelly has the sinking feeling that he's not making the right choice. Kelly's husband has a great-paying job, but he's been unhappy for some time, due to a bad relationship with his boss. She loves and supports her husband, but she's worried about their ability to keep the household functioning on her salary alone, while he tries to make a career for himself with his new pursuit.
We don't have all the facts here – like how old Kelly and her husband are, and whether or not they have kids – but it's a tough call, no matter what the situation. Most couples would very likely face considerable struggles if they suddenly made only half of their combined income, and that seems like a relatively reasonable concern in this case. One thing's for sure, though: being partnered with someone requires a degree of mutual responsibility to the people who depend on you, both financially and emotionally.
This is one of those generational things, like so many of the issues that we tackle around here. I was raised in a world where the man does whatever he needs to do to support his family, so my knee-jerk reaction is to say that this is a bridge too far in terms of the risk. On the other hand, I admire the husband's ambition…but there's a fine line between chasing a big dream and living an unworkable fantasy.
Should Kelly put her foot down, and tell her husband to keep his steady job? She doesn't want to crush his dreams, but she's pretty worried about the future. Your advice is requested and appreciated, fellow Rock-A-Holics…

Hello again, my fine fellow Rock-A-Holics! It's a great day for some Group Therapy, so let's try to help someone out, shall we?
Zachary and his girl have been together for three years, and they recently got married! He says they rarely disagree about anything, but a recent discovery has caused a big difference of opinion.
Zachary's phone was damaged, so he was using his wife's - as needed - until his could be repaired. During a hiking trip, Mr. Z had occasion to take some pictures with said phone…and that's when he found something that didn't make him very happy: an album of "dudes and their junk".
Our own Vicky Barcelona explained that all of her female friends get these photos texted to them, and they share them around in mass texts. Zachary thinks the whole thing is weird, and he is wondering if he should demand that his wife delete them from her phone.
Oh, modern technology! You truly are a marvel. We couldn't even DO this a couple of decades ago, and now it's commonplace. This is one of those negotiation items that will come up in a committed relationship, and I'm not entirely sure what my opinion is.
What do you say, good people? I'd love to hear from firsthand experience, or just opinions in general…

posted May 5 2015 7:35AM
Welcome back to another Group Therapy session, ladies and germs! It's all about Rock-A-Holics helping Rock-A-Holics, so let's get right down to it!
We heard from Carrie, who is more than a little bit scandalized by the fact that her sister's husband made a pass at her recently. They're both happily married, and have a good friendship, but the brother-in-law crossed a line with his advance during a recent visit to Carrie's house. The spouses had gone to bed, there had been some drinking involved, and Carrie's brother-in-law sat down right next to her and rubbed her leg. Nothing happened beyond that, and the sister and her husband left the next morning without anyone bringing it up. Now, Carrie's wondering what to do, and who – if anyone – she should tell about this.
Gosh, what a surprise it is to hear that alcohol was involved. Adding liquor to the idiotic impulses that drive humans forward on a biological level is usually a recipe for disaster. Also, it's hard to sort these stories out when we don't have both sides, especially when drinking plays a part in the proceedings. Personally, I just wouldn't hang out with someone else's wife alone if we'd been drinking. That's never a good plan for anyone, because alcohol can lower your inhibitions and change your behavior…and that's just a fact.
Let's hear it from you, gang: what do you think about Carrie's situation?
BJ'S BLOG 05/04/15 "Burning Bras, Jimmy Carter, Palm Trees, and Keith Richards"
by BJ Shea
posted May 4 2015 6:46AM
Today's blog comes from one of my mentors, Dan Sanders:
As you read the title, you might have thought, what the ???? is this all about? Well, welcome to my brain, or at least a skosh of it.
You see, many different things threaded their way into my brain in the last week. Jimmy Carter and bra-burning are related subjects, and I'll explain. Burning bras conjure up images of warm tropical breezes and palm trees, and where there are palm trees, there once was Keith Richards, falling out of one.
Last week, an article written by former president Jimmy Carter and published on July 15, 2009 but missed by many, went viral. In the article, Carter ended his 60-year relationship with the Southern Baptist Convention. The convention's leaders, citing bible verses claiming that Eve was created second to Adam, declared that women must be "subservient" to their husbands and prohibited from serving as deacons, pastors, or chaplains in the military, and Carter felt he had no choice but to cut his ties. He could no longer support a group who believed in the subjugation of women. As women struggle for equality in almost all areas of life, Jimmy Carter made a difficult, "unavoidable" decision, opting to try to improve the lives of women everywhere. Way to go, Jimmy Carter!
Before the 1960's, most women were housewives and mothers and not much more. During the 1960's, women ramped up demonstrating for equal rights, and some women, ticked off by the stereotypes, took action to create change. One of the most legendary protests by feminists took place on September 7, 1968, when nearly 400 women protested the Miss America pageant outside the Atlantic City Convention Center. Though this was called a bra-burning, there was never any fire. Organizer Robin Morgan wrote that the group was protesting the pageant's promotion of the "ludicrous beauty standards we ourselves are conditioned to take seriously." As the pageant was taking place, feminists marched around the Freedom Trash Can and tossed in their bras, high heels, girdles, makeup, and even detergent, items they perceived as symbols of feminine oppression. Way to go, women!
On a lighter note, April 29, 2015, marked 9 years since the Keith Richards–palm tree incident during his holiday on Fiji. Legend has it the Rolling Stone had been swimming and climbed a tree. When he grabbed a branch, his wet hands slipped, and he fell seven feet, resulting in hospitalization for a mild concussion. However, there is another report. I read somewhere that after falling, Keith jumped up and took off on a jet ski. While this report, as far as I know, has never been confirmed, I believe that he fell from the tree and landed on his coconut then saw a bra floating on the water and took off on the jet ski to rescue it.
There's more on the shores of Rambling Harbor, where all are equal and bras are optional. Join me there.

by BJ Shea
posted May 1 2015 9:16AM
Listen, Rock-A-Holics…it's just not working out. Don't worry; I'm not talking about OUR relationship, which is just fine. I'm referring to the subject of today's Group Therapy.
Brian and his girlfriend are approaching the two-year mark, and he's just not feeling the love anymore. In fact, he's reached the point of being ready to break up with her! Unfortunately, her grandfather just died, and she's not taking the loss very well. Brian is trying to be there for his girlfriend, but the turmoil has definitely confirmed to Brian that he doesn't have feelings for her anymore. He feels like it would be insensitive for him to leave her during this rough time in her life, but he really wants out.
Sometimes, you have to put yourself first. Is this a tough situation? You bet it is. Unfortunately, you can't make choices about your life based on the events going on in someone else's…especially if your own happiness is tied to your relationship with that person, for good or for ill. It will suck, but my advice is to rip off the bandage and be done with it.
Maybe I'm the insensitive one, though, so let's hear it from you, good people! Should Brian get this breakup out of the way, or should he wait until her personal wounds have healed up a bit?

Earlier this month, Canada's Economic Action Plan 2014 announced that the country would be ending its Immigrant Investor Program (IIP). The Canadian government made the decision to end the program in order to eliminate a large and longstanding backlog of applications and pave the way for new programs to support Canada's economic needs. At the time of the announcement, the program had about 65,000 investors, 70% of which were from China.
Many former Canadian investors, especially those who had been in the Canadian queue for years before the end to the IIP, are finding a renewed attraction to the EB-5 immigrant investor program here in the United States. EB-5, like the Canadian IIP, offers the possibility of permanent residence in exchange for a qualifying investment. Although Canada's investment requirement was, for the most part, lower than that of the U.S. (approximately $800,000 as opposed to up to $1,000,000 in the U.S.), the U.S. requirement, which can be as low as $500,000 in some cases, is still lower than immigrant investor requirements in many other countries. The United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, for example, require investments of approximately $5 to $10 million. Additionally, EB-5 has a much greater, positive effect on the U.S. economy than the IIP had on Canada's economy (one of the reasons for the IIP's discontinuance). By way of example, each qualifying EB-5 investment creates at least 10 full time jobs in the U.S.
As an added bonus, as of March, 2014, the EB-5 visa category is current—meaning investors that had waited up to 12 years to immigrate to Canada would experience no backlogs in the U.S. This could change, however, especially with respect to Chinese investors, as the number of former IIP investors applying for EB-5 status increases.

just need an iron bra^^ change every six months, they're bored. Need something new.
I think I will agree with the ones that said about 8 months. I also rotate mine, so they usually are in good shape. I just increased a little bit to -US size- 36F from 36DD (one push-up bra already crashed "under pressure") but I will continue wearing the good ones yet. As someone else said, they are expensive. I do wash them by hand and not dry machine; however, I wash them in every wearing. With the weather we have here, there's no way I can not do it that way. Best of luck :)
Wow, 40D? Okay, I'm 32A so I'm probably the last person to ask. I hardly wear them at all and when I do, it's usually a sports bra. I buy a new one maybe once every couple months and rotate through the ones I wear.
Oh my gosh, I'm terrible at this. Mostly because I don't buy underwear to impress anyone. XD A good old comfy, worn out bra where the straps don't dig in will do me fine. I probably buy about less than 10 bras a year. xD
I replace mine every 2 months as mine stretch. (I'm 28E)

Bus drivers in Singapore's first strike in 25 years
SINGAPORE – Singapore Tuesday issued a warning to mainland Chinese bus drivers, who are staging the first strike in the city-state for more than 25 years, an act that could land them in prison.
A total of 102 Chinese drivers working for state-linked transport firm SMRT began their wildcat strike over pay on Monday, refusing to board a shuttle bus from their dormitory to a nearby depot.
An agreement was hammered out to convince them to return to work, but SMRT said more than 60 drivers still did not turn up for duty on Tuesday.
Strikes and other forms of industrial action are extremely rare in Singapore, where the labor movement works closely with the government and private business, making the port city an attractive place for foreign investment.
The last illegal strike was in 1980 and involved the Singapore Airlines pilot's union, the manpower ministry said, while the last legal strike was in 1986.
"Taking the law into your own hands is wrong. This illegal strike is not acceptable and would be dealt with in accordance to the law," Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin told reporters.
"By taking matters into their own hands, the drivers have clearly crossed the line," he said, adding they have "disrupted public transport services and Singapore's industrial harmony".
He said strikes are illegal for workers in "essential services" such as transport unless they give 14-day notice of their intent and comply with other requirements.
The penalty for staging an illegal strike is a fine of up to Sg$2,000 ($1,636), or a maximum prison term of one year, or both.
While the drivers have their grievances, they should have resorted to legal ways to have their complaints heard, Tan said.
"The government views these disruptions very seriously. We have zero tolerance for such unlawful action."
One of the Chinese drivers told reporters on Monday he and his colleagues — who are not union members — felt aggrieved over a disparity in pay between Chinese and Malaysian bus drivers.
Singapore has been hiring bus drivers from China and Malaysia because of a chronic shortage of manpower.
SMRT is 54 percent owned by state investment firm Temasek Holdings.

"I care for my husband with dementia. I felt so alone, losing my patience and feeling I was losing my mind. I found this group and I found support, ideas on how to manage some problems, services in the area, and most of all I found I was not alone."
This is one story and one step to finding support for yourself and the one you love. Our Caregivers' Support Group is for those caring for loved ones with Alzheimer's or related dementias. Caring for someone with a memory disorder can be very challenging, and sharing your experiences with others often helps caregivers cope with difficulties and celebrate successes. The group is facilitated by Council on Aging Social Services Coordinator, Sally Lopez and Cooperative Elder Services Social Worker, Eileen Lawson.. This group meets the third Tuesday of each month at 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM.
The loss of a spouse or partner can be a very painful experience. It is a journey which can be frightening, overwhelming and sometimes lonely. Many have found that being able to share their fears, concerns, and even practicalities of the grieving process can be helpful. We offer a Support Group for those who have lost a spouse or partner, facilitated by COA Social Services Coordinator, Sally Lopez. The group will not meet in November due to the Veteran's Day holiday. They will resume the following month, meeting on Tuesday, December 9th at 10:00 AM. We will discuss "Coping with the Holidays" during the December group meeting. All are welcome. Please call Sally Lopez at 978-318-3012 for more information.

A comprehensive survey of militant Islam, or Islamism, from Judith Miller, former bureau chief for The New York Times in Cairo. She covers eight Arab countries, plus Iran and Israel, in providing a complete, if bleak, picture for Western readers: from poverty-stricken Egypt to rich Saudi Arabia, she believes Islamists are threatening Middle Eastern stability. Whether floundering under incompetent government, corruption, and repression, or, as in the case of Jordan, too dependent on one ruler, the states close to the West are weak, and vulnerable to a movement that promises social justice and moral righteousness. Miller is forthright in her condemnation of the intolerance and sexism of Islamic movements she sees as largely antithetical to Western democracy. A provocative and daring book.

Anastomotic leakageAn anastomosis is a surgical connection between the stomach and bowel, or between two parts of the bowel. The surgeon attempts to create a water-tight connection by connecting the two organs with either staples or sutures, either of which actually makes a hole in the bowel wall. The surgeon will rely on the healing power of the body, and its ability to create a seal like a self-sealing tire, to succeed with the surgery. If that seal fails to form, for any reason, fluid from within the gastrointestinal tract can leak into the sterile abdominal cavity and give rise to infection and abscess formation. Leakage of an anastomosis can occur in about 2% of gastric bypass procedures, usually at the stomach-bowel connection. Sometimes leakage can be treated with antibiotics, and sometimes it will require immediate re-operation. It is usually safer to re-operate if an infection cannot be definitely controlled immediately. Anastomotic strictureAs the anastomosis heals, it forms scar tissue, which naturally tends to shrink or contract over time, making the opening smaller. This is called a "stricture". Usually, the passage of food through an anastomosis will keep it stretched open, but if the inflammation and healing process outpaces the stretching process, scarring may make the opening so small that even liquids can no longer pass through it. The solution is a procedure called gastroendoscopy, and stretching of the connection by inflating a balloon inside it. Sometimes this manipulation may have to be performed more than once to achieve lasting correction. Anastomotic ulcerUlceration of the anastomosis occurs in comparatively small portion of patients. Possible causes of such ulcers are:

As Lancaster County readies for the 2010 U.S. Census, many Indian Land residents are worried about how their responses will be counted.
Ted Hoover, vice president of the Indian Land Action Council, has spoken to several Indian Land residents who are concerned their census data could be accidentally counted in York County, affecting Lancaster County's chances for school funding, road improvements or extra representation at the county and state levels.
Their fear stems from the confusion between who lives in Indian Land and who lives in neighboring Fort Mill.
CLEMSON – Investments by Lancaster native C. Tycho Howle and an anonymous private sector partner, along with a state match, total $4 million to support an endowed chair position in the Cyber-Institute Center of Economic Excellence (CoEE) at Clemson University.
Howle and the anonymous private sector partner each invested $1 million to support the research and infrastructure of the center, and that will be matched by the state.
Direct health services and health education are among the projects funded by the J. Marion Sims Foundation's most recent grant awards.
Eight organizations in Lancaster and Chester counties are the recipients of grants totaling $292,469.
KERSHAW – Shedrick "Simp" Sowell was well-liked as a student at Andrew Jackson High School.
He played football for the Volunteers and worked for Small's Grocery in Kershaw, starting in high school and beyond. Many people in the small town knew him from the grocery store.
He was considered very good looking, said his mother, Barbara Jackson, 61. He sang in church, and had a daughter, Kantara, who Jackson said he loved.
Jackson cherishes a Mother's Day card she received from Sowell years ago.
County Council discussed two potential ordinances last week that could change the terms of office for the members of county boards and commissions.
Council considered first drafts of ordinances that would align the terms of office of council appointees to county boards and commissions with the terms of office of the respective council members who appoint them.
Tommy L. Walker has been active in local, state and national politics for decades and has been a dedicated supporter of the Democratic Party.
He has been an eyewitness to change and an advocate for racial equality.
This biography highlights Walker's accomplishments:
It's been a long 12 years for Willie Foster as he's tried to piece together what happened to his brother, Ricky, on June 5, 1998.
Willie Foster remembers working at Springs Industries when a coworker told him a body had been found on Brooklyn Avenue. He didn't think much of it at first.
But he knew his brother lived near the area, and they had not spoken in a few days, so he decided to call his grandmother in Heath Springs.
That's when he learned that someone from the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office had already spoken to her.
A measure that would have brought four parcels of land into the Lancaster city limits failed Tuesday night.
The majority of City Council members – four – voted against a measure that would have annexed property on the northeastern edge of the Arrowood community, near U.S. 521 behind the Burns Ford dealership, into the city.
Council members Linda Blackmon-Brace, Tamara Green, Kenny Hood and Gonzie Mackey voted against it.
Mayor Joe Shaw, Councilwoman Sara Eddins and Councilman John Howard favored the measure.
Frederick Albert (F.B.) Clinton has been the only black man to serve Lancaster County in the state Senate.
Born a slave on a plantation on March 1, 1834, Clinton was educated and learned how to run a plantation from the owner of the property, Irvin Clinton.

Sten Sture the Elder (Sten Sture den äldre; 1440 – 14 December 1503) was a Swedish statesman and regent of Sweden from (1470–1497 and 1501–1503).
He was born around 1440, the son of Gustav Anundsson of the Sture family and Birgitta Stensdotter Bielke, half-sister of the future Charles VIII. He was married to Ingeborg Tott, niece by marriage of Magdalen of Sweden, in 1467; she was a renaissance personality interested in theology and science and seemed to have had some importance in the intellectual development during his reign, but the marriage remained childless. According to genealogical research, Sten Sture's father descended from King Sverker II of Sweden (both through family of Vinga and through family of Aspenäs).
First regency[edit]
Sture came to power after the death of Charles VIII and consolidated his position through the victory of Brunkeberg. For a quarter of a century he ruled Sweden making the regency almost an office in its own right. He was supported by the peasantry and the lower nobility, wisely playing them out against the high-ranked nobility and managing a clever act of balance towards the Danish demands of reunion.
At the Battle of Brunkeberg in 1471, he triumphed against Swedish and Danish forces in the support of Christian I. This victory elevated Sture to the position of a national savior. The sculpture St. George and the Dragon created by the German sculptor Bernt Notke in Storkyrkan in Stockholm was raised to commemorate the battle.
In 1493, the Danish and Norwegian king, Hans (also called John I), formed an alliance with Ivan III of Russia against Sten Sture. From 1495 to 1497, Sten successfully repelled a Russian invasion of Finland. However, he subsequently fell out with the majority of the Swedish nobility, most prominently Svante Nilsson, and the Swedish council of the realm declared him to be deposed as regent on 8 March 1497.
Second regency[edit]
In the ensuing war, Sten was supported by peasant forces, but they were defeated at the Battle of Rotebro by Hans of Denmark (also known as King John I of Denmark and Norway), who invaded Sweden in July the same year. On 6 October, Sten surrendered to King John in Stockholm and was reconciled with him. John was crowned King of Sweden, and Sten was given the highest position of authority in Sweden below the King. However, during the next rebellion against the Danes in 1501, he again took office as regent, leading the Swedish struggle for independence until his death.
His closest relatives and heirs were his deceased sister's, the House of Vasa. His great-nephew the future King Gustav I of Sweden had been born a few years before Sten's death. At the time, however, none of them were members of the experienced political elite of Sweden. Regent Sten was succeeded by his colleague from the Privy Council of Sweden and former enemy Svante Nilsson as regent.
An underground restaurant in Stockholm, close to the Royal Palace is named after Sten Sture. In 1792 it was a prison, where the murderer of King Gustav III of Sweden was jailed before his execution.
