May 1, 2012 in City
Council revamps initiative process
City attorney input, fiscal statement needed
A revamping of Spokane's system of bringing initiative measures to the ballot won approval Monday night following several hours of testimony.
The divided council voted 4-3 in favor of an ordinance to require the city attorney's office to write initiative ballot summaries. It also requires a fiscal statement on the cost of the measure.
Councilwoman Nancy McLaughlin said the measure will ensure that ballot initiatives are truthful.
Council members Steve Salvatori and Mike Fagan sponsored the changes.
Salvatori, Fagan, McLaughlin and Councilman Mike Allen voted in favor of the measure.
Until now, residents were not required to use the services of the city attorney to write their measures and ballot summary, and if the City Council were to make changes in the language, the entire petition could be invalidated or at least thrown into legal question.
Salvatori has argued that once the language is ironed out with the city attorney under the proposal approved Monday, proponents can gather signatures without facing a challenge or change.
It will also parallel state law and the initiative processes of other Washington cities, he said.
Fagan said he supported the measure because of a need to inform voters about the potential costs of an initiative.
Fagan acknowledged his role in campaigning for statewide initiatives with Tim Eyman.
Opponents of the change said the measure is going to curtail the right of citizens to go directly to the voters for signatures.
Envision Spokane brought two initiatives for a Community Bill of Rights to the ballot in 2009 and 2011, and lost in both efforts when voters said no. Group leaders said they want to bring the initiative to the ballot a third time in 2013.
"They refuse to listen to the people," Kate McCaslin, a former Spokane County commissioner and resident of Spokane, said of Envision Spokane. She said the measure would make initiatives more transparent and fair.
Council President Ben Stuckart said involvement of the homebuilders organization in the initiative issue was troublesome.
Arguing in favor of maintaining the current system, Rick Evans said, "The city should welcome citizens to the process."
A companion measure by Stuckart was defeated on a 3-4 vote. His measure had no requirement for a fiscal statement, and also would have allowed the City Council to rewrite the ballot title.

This always-jammed Cleveland Park pizzeria is known more as a hangout for squirmy five-year-olds and their parents than for bargoers. But at night the tiny back bar is arm-to-arm full, and during the day, when the place quiets down, it's a nice respite for an afternoon snack. Start with a plate of paper-thin lomo (cured pork loin) or San Daniele prosciutto or a goat's-milk bocconcino with grape-apple-and-pear jelly. Most selections on the under-$50 all-Italian wine list are available by the glass, quarter-liter carafe, or full bottle.

Missing Songs in Jet Set Radio-HD Shows Need for Game Preservation Movement
HD-updates can't replace the original entirely.
Very rarely, if ever, do filmmakers have to eliminate licensed songs from their scores when releasing their movies on DVD or Blu-ray. The games industry, on the other hand, has never been in the bargaining position to or had interest in demanding licensing arrangements that will continue into the future and cover all further releases of their games. Until this current console generation, the business side of the industry didn't see any money in old games at all. Occasionally they'd throw fans an overpriced compilation of some kind, but by and large games have always made money in the first weeks after release and been considered essentially worthless afterward. The current world of HD updates and cheap downloadable games is still young, and the financial realities of game making before the existence of services like PSN, XBLA, Virtual Console, or Steam encouraged short term thinking. Sega signed the licensing agreements for the game's soundtrack because the publisher never imagined a world where they could make a profit selling decades-old Genesis and Dreamcast games.
Game publishers considered their older titles less than worthless. It takes money to properly control the climate in a storage room to maximize the lifespan of disks, CDs, and DVDs. Japanese developer Irem, for example, maintains only ROMs of their classic '80s RPGs -- the games' source code having been lost long ago. Without the source code for a game, it becomes quite difficult to update it for re-release. When Mattel sold off the 8-inch floppy drives that contained much of the source code for original Intellivison games at auction, former Mattel employee Keith Robinson took it upon himself to track down buyers and recover the data. Thanks to his efforts, interested players can play historically important Intellivision games easily on their iPhone, Xbox, PS2, or any other number of platforms.
Not every developer or publisher has a Keith Robinson willing to sacrifice his own time to preserve classic games in their original form. For most of this industryâ??s history, retail stores had no interest in filling their shelves with ten year-old games. Only the most beloved titles, like the early Monkey Island games, received re-releases with any regularity. The business model of the industry relied on massive profits generated days or weeks after a game's debut, not years, and older titles held little value beyond the intellectual property therein â?? which publishers could later mine in the form of sequels and reboots. With a business environment that stressed reliance on massive profits from new content, it's no wonder the music licensing deals publishers signed came with a a few caveats that would prevent the music's use if the game were released on another platform or at another time. Not even the most idealistic publisher would have imagined their games to be so successful as to demand re-release ten years later.
In all likelihood, Jet Set Radio's missing tracks will only bother the most dedicated fans. Even though its a relatively small change to the game, it reminds us of the importance of preservation in the industry. JSR-HD will probably play and look better than its Dreamcast sibling, but it won't play exactly as it did in 1999, meaning we may enjoy the HD update, but the game historians of the future will likely prefer the game on the Dreamcast.

Not as good as the original oh wellPosted: Sep 18, 2012 12:00AM PST by Ange1ofD4rkness
Damn I remember hearing a rumor of this being the cause for the reason the game was taking so long to release (there was an article like 4 or 5 years ago about someone who had a screenshot of their Xbox 360 library containing Jet Set Radio).
Well when I saw it was true I hope there's a way to mod in the missing songs (I also was thinking playlist which someone else mentioned as well).
If I have to, I crack out my DC and the game disk and find the missing songs. (For the record it's been over 10 years since I played this game heavily. used to spend every waking moment with my friend on it).
Well it's the 19th, waiting for Steam to release it ... come on i am impatient!
Simple solution, SEGA, come on!Posted: Mar 19, 2012 12:00AM PST by adny2
All Sega needs to do is add a playlist editor in the game. Where the game would read the tracks in your harddrave and have them start playing "when the stage starts". Not play over all the menus, and gameplay like it does now when you play your own tracks over games. NO. only play one song (or a few if you want more songs per stage to play) and loop during that stage.
This would satisfy any fan that has the original soundtrack available on them. Just rip the track into your xbox or ps3 hard drive.
DONE. no need to worry about licenses. and for those who don't own the soundtracks, I'm sure Amazon, or some Japanese import market have it available. It shouldn't be hard to find.
Ok SEGA. I solved a major issue with a simple problem. So where's my cubical? I start on Monday? good!
tried and failedPosted: Mar 23, 2012 12:00AM PST by adny2
Thanks, a0me. I tried signing onto sega's main site to post this same comment on their threads. but after signing on, the site acts like I don't exist. and i can't seem to log in again. that was a few days ago, i'll try again later today.
ImaginePosted: Mar 18, 2012 12:00AM PST by ROBOtechGenius
When the next Jet Set Radio game comes out, the soundtrack! imagine how amazing that could be. What if had sound made by Justice or daftpunk. But what I worry is that it will have inevitable music like Dubstep. Theres nothing wrong with dubstep it just over powers any other genre so by the end of listening to it, it will over take over the game's personality like it did with SSX it just becomes exausting. I hope SEGA doesn't mess it up.
Music ChangesPosted: Mar 17, 2012 12:00AM PST by king_mob
Why not just add new songs to the game? Can't it be upgraded with new content? If they can't get the old songs they should just put out a game with some new music. It could help make the game feel fresh to old players, if they choose the right tracks...
Music industry's attempt to self sabotagePosted: Mar 17, 2012 12:00AM PST by BadTron
Such a shame there's a whole dark legal side that demands top dollar for each song usage. I say this, it was THIS game that turned me on to Cold, my most fav band in the known universe. Not MTV nor the radio but a video game. I'll have to 'undust' that old DC for a true nostalgic experience, but it's sad new age gamers won't feel the complete experience.
Yeah, I don't think this is ever going to happenPosted: Mar 17, 2012 12:00AM PST by TheHamsterplan
Particularly with copyrwright laws and protections for composers and songwriters the way they are.
Also, the notion that this hasn't been a problem in other mediums isn't really true. Yes, the author says "Very rarely, if ever do filmmakers..." to allow for the possibilty that it has happened, but you're totally glossing over the fact that it does happen and it's a problem then too. Just look at the DVD releases of the brilliant late 70's sitcom "WKRP in Cincinnati". They had to take out all the music originally liscensed for the broadcast and syndication of the show, and it totally kills those scenes, especailly when the jokes are based on the music the DJs are playing - some of those scenes were just cut entirely. So tragic. But that's the way it is, and it's going to stay that way, I guarantee it.
Hindsight's Always 20/20Posted: Mar 17, 2012 12:00AM PST by SongSeven
Damn, that's unfortunate news. Apparently the Tony Hawk HD "Remix" (or whatever they're calling it) is running into the same issue. It's a sad state of affairs to be sure, though I'm not sure there's much Sega can do to change this for Jet Grind Radio's remastered release. At least if current-gen games start receiving HD re-releases down the line, this is a good mantra to adopt.
I've been thinking about this alot.Posted: Mar 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by MikkiSaturn
If games are important works of art, as many now claim, then we must take great care to preserve them. There are many films from the early days of cinema that are lost, or partially lost, because no one at the time imagined that anyone would care to see them in 5 years, let alone 100 years. There are many paintings, plays, novels and poems that are lost as well, it's been a problem since ancient times. There is no reason to believe that the same thing won't happen - in fact, already is happenning, to games. I was talking with someone about this the other day and he told me that digital had changed all this - since games are programs they can be stored as files for ever and we don't need to worry about conservation. People, it is the exact opposite. Digital files are extremely susceptible to being damaged, currupted, deleted or otherwise destroyed. It is actually far simpler, at least right now, to preserve physical media than digital, simply because there are no proven standards for how to store these huge quantities of data. Consequently, for now, the best thing we can do is take great care to preserve the physical media - the actual cartridges and game discs - and hopefully if millions of gamers do so then at least a few will survive in working order. Then in the future we can probably donate them to museums, and then it will be their problem.
What Ever Happened To...Posted: Mar 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by Mr.LametoWatch
Game developers making their own music?
But but....Posted: Mar 18, 2012 12:00AM PST by ROBOtechGenius
Sega did do that and also combined it with licensed tracks to make its soundtrack. In this case the licensed music suffers.
It's similar to what happened with DariaPosted: Mar 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by SynergisticSyn
When released on DVD the cost of relicencing the music was deemed too high. I want to think that its not such a big deal, but I look at another MTV show from around the same time that I have on DVD, Undergrads. The music is ingrained in that show, and anything different would take away from my experience. The songs in every scene have just bored into my head and I sing along half the time.
For a game that one of its primary characteristics is the music, it seems like something worth complaining about. But thank you for pointing out the non-obvious issue of preservation in this context. It would be so easy for this to just be a bitchfest otherwise.
Its sad but its the realityPosted: Mar 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by fourfour44
Its because before DVD you hardly ever saw television shows released on the home video market, usually just "best of" compilations here and there of random episodes of a show. Now though its pretty much standard and expected that after a television show airs that the entire season will be released in a boxset sometime before the next season begins, and so when shows are broadcast its made sure they have both the broadcast rights for all the content as well as home video rights for the same content.
Since there was no home video market for television shows to speak of prior to the DVD era, when television shows were produced for broadcast that was the only license acquired, there was no need for anything else. It is sad that lots of really great shows from the 80s and 90s, and even before, won't ever get full and proper releases on modern home video formats (or modern streaming services, there's another licensing deal that didn't exist until a few years ago) its because these modern ways of dissemenating things like TV shows and old games just didn't exist, and the licensing to do what is relquired to release them now also did not exist.
Thank You RetronautsPosted: Mar 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by ShinobiSpectre
After listening to the Retronauts episode regarding Jet Set Radio. I fell in love with the music. While not a fan of all tracks I really hope that Sweet Sould Brother and Rock It make it listening to the trailer I'm one for two. So here's hoping!
Hoping For Improvements As well!Posted: Mar 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by ShinobiSpectre
I also hope they can implement some of the improvements they made in the sequel without changing the game too much.
Any way of having Custom Tracks?Posted: Mar 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by Malev721
It seems as though gamemakers stopped adding this little nice addition in games like this.
Certain songs weren't even available on the original release in all regions. The only guaranteed tracks are the in-house Hideki Nakamura tracks. If only they kept the rights to Deavid Soul's tracks.
I loved that game.Posted: Mar 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by ONI5
This is where SEGA should go back to MS and kindly ask them again to make the XBOX(360 this time) able to play original Dreamcast games via Emulation. I honestly think MS should give fund the porting of JSRF to the 360 even though the original XBOX version will play in the system.
Why do I need to title comments on this freaking site?Posted: Mar 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by Frizzle Fry
I will say that the music in this game is what pushed me over the edge back then to buy it. I LOVED the funky ass tunes in this game. It's a shame the game can't be the way it was.
Yeah...Posted: Mar 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by chaosyoshimage
While films rarely have to deal with this sort of thing, TV shows do. See Daria which is missing nearly all of the music from the original airings.
I Love Jet Set RadioPosted: Mar 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by marlonrapalo
Jet Grind Radio was launched in the year 2000, and the soundtrack of the game its something wonderful. The gameplay , the art, the characters all make a unique game that nobody play, is very good the interest in old games right now because games that dont have a chance in a console that dont sell well, can be played in this time of sequels and sequels years after years. Jet Set Radio or Jet Grind Radio its a classic and spectacular game. I still own the sega Dreamcast.
Aaaaand...Posted: Mar 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by milkman_v1
that's why I'm glad I own the original game, along with Crazy Taxi and Tony Hawk games that also have neutered STs on their re-releases. Don't lose your old games, kiddies!
AgreedPosted: Mar 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by McCHitman
I don't get rid of my stuff, but a lot of people don't like the hoarder mentality. But I think if you really love a game, you won't get rid of it, that way you can go back and play it whenever. As far as Crazy Taxi goes, I'm sure people don't miss hearing "Ya Ya ya ya ya"

A Child Called It: One Child's Courage to Survive
Health Communications, Incorporated, 1993 - Biography & Autobiography - 184 pages
This book chronicles the unforgettable account of one of the most severe child abuse cases in California history. It is the story of Dave Pelzer, who was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother: a mother who played tortuous, unpredictable games--games that left him nearly dead. He had to learn how to play his mother's games in order to survive because she no longer considered him a son, but a slave; and no longer a boy, but an "it."
Dave's bed was an old army cot in the basement, and his clothes were torn and raunchy. When his mother allowed him the luxury of food, it was nothing more than spoiled scraps that even the dogs refused to eat. The outside world knew nothing of his living nightmare. He had nothing or no one to turn to, but his dreams kept him alive--dreams of someone taking care of him, loving him and calling him their son.

text: Wicomico River Wicomico River Water Quality Mixed By Don Rush • Jun 16, 2015 Don Rush The Wicomico River got some mixed reviews from a local environmental group. The Wicomico Creekwatchers found that the nitrogen and phosphorous level have improved slightly. But the Salisbury Daily Times reports that the bacterial levels were found to be a high risk for swimmers at six out of eight sites that were tested. This was worse than a year ago. The group of Salisbury University volunteers tested 22 sites along the Wicomico River. Salisbury Police Investigate Drowning in Wicomico River By Don Rush • Apr 14, 2015 Don Rush / file photo SALISBURY, Md. (AP) - Salisbury Police are investigating the drowning of a man in the Wicomico River. It happened about 9:30 p.m. Sunday on Riverside Drive. Officers say 24-year-old Lamar Byron Sheppard of Salisbury went into the water and was unable to swim. Authorities say someone pulled Sheppard from the water and tried CPR. Police say Sheppard was taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Salisbury Police and other law enforcement agencies are investigating the incident. Wicomico River Death Ruled a Drowning By Don Rush • Jun 19, 2014 Don Rush SALISBURY, Md. (AP) - Authorities say drowning has been ruled the cause of death of a 25-year-old Salisbury man found dead in the east branch of the Wicomico River in Salisbury City Park. Police said Wednesday that it could be weeks before the state medical examiner's office gets toxicology results on Rodney Stevenson Jr. Stevenson's body was found Monday morning near a spillway close to a foot bridge in the park. He had left his home about 12 blocks away on foot less than an hour earlier. Details of Body Found in Wicomico River at Salisbury City Park By Don Rush • Jun 17, 2014 Don Rush Salisbury police officers and fire crews yesterday pulled the body of 25 year-old Rodney Stevenson Junior from the Wicomico River's eastern prong that runs through the Salisbury City Park. Police Chief Barbara Duncan told reporters that his family had last seen him leave his Ohio Avenue home at around 8:30 a.m. yesterday. She said a 911 call came in at round 9 o'clock that said a body had been seen floating in the water. Duncan said Stevenson was going to a location on East Main Street…but did not specify where. Body Identified in Wicomico River in Salisbury City Park (Update 3) By Don Rush • Jun 16, 2014 Don Rush The man, whose body was recovered this morning from the east prong of the Wicomico River in Salisbury, has been identified as 25-year old Rodney Stevenson Jr. Police say that he was taking a walk at around 9.30 a.m. this morning and somehow wound up in the river. WBOC reports that police say soon thereafter someone spotted his body floating in the water west of the spillway near the pedestrian bridge in Salisbury Park. At the scene police told reporters that there appeared to have been an injury to the back of his head. Upper Ferry Out of Service for Repairs By Don Rush • Sep 30, 2013 wicomicorecandparks.org SALISBURY, Md. (AP) - Wicomico County officials say the Upper Ferry is out of service until further notice. Officials announced Sunday that the ferry that crosses the Wicomico River near Salisbury will be out of service until further notice due to a mechanical failure. A repair crew is expected to visit Monday to assess the repair. Salisbury Work Crews Grapple With River Pollution By Don Rush • May 15, 2013 Don Rush The pollution build up in the Wicomico River has Salisbury work crews out dealing with globs of muck and trash that have come to the surface. Mayor Jim Ireton says recent rains has resulted in flushing out the outfall pipes churning up the river. In addition, to cleaning up the debris emerging from the water, he said, the city is working on a more long term solution like installing grates in the town streets to keep the trash from entering the river. The Mayor said that the town has another 100 of them coming to the city. Salisbury Sewage Plant Still Troubled By Don Rush • May 9, 2013 wicomicoenvironment.org Despite efforts to upgrade the sewage treatment plant in Salisbury the facility is still having its troubles. The Maryland Department of the Environment is looking into an incident on April 14th that released 30-thosuand gallons of partially treated sewage into the Wicomico River. Maryland has set aside nearly $25 million to fix the city's sewage treatment plant to greatly reduce pollution into the Chesapeake Bay. Slight Improvement in Wicomico River Water Quality By Don Rush • Jun 4, 2012 SALISBURY, Md. (AP) - An annual study of pollution levels in the Wicomico River and its watershed shows that levels went down slightly in 2011. The Daily Times in Salisbury reports that results from the Wicomico Creekwatchers' 2011 Water Quality Monitoring Results were mixed. Creekwatchers supervisor Judith Stribling says water clarity went down substantially, which she attributed to low rainfall. That keeps the river from flushing out and promotes algae growth.

Music is a HUGE passion of mine-- I've been singing almost as long as I could talk, and also play guitar. Also love recording and producing my own music-- it's my dream one day to own my own recording studio.
My love language is quality time-- I get close to people by spending time with them. I love to talk about anything, everything, and nothing. Long conversations are one of my favorite things.

"THE LIGHT SHOW" - Lofoten 2013
After 10 days in the breathtaking beautiful Northern Norway I now present the first photographic work.
You can see here a typical-striking Lofoten-mountain, which I found in a bay near Unstadvika.
In early February, the sun is still all day extremely deep and enchants us with a monumental light mood.

Shaping the gun-control debate
John R. Lott Jr. is president of the Crime Prevention Research Center in Washington, D.C. He spoke to the Trib regarding former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's pledge to commit $50 million of his personal fortune toward his new gun control organization, Everytown for Gun Safety.
Q: Bloomberg is making headlines for his $50 million commitment, but isn't that just a drop in the bucket compared to what he has already spent on anti-gun efforts?
A: The $50 million is just for this latest organization that he has. He has two other groups that already exist — Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action (for Gun Sense in America) — and he is pretty much funding those entirely.
Plus, he's literally spending hundreds of millions of dollars on gun-control research. He gave $250 million about a year ago to the (Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health) to hire 50 academics. Most of them are primarily going to be focusing on gun-control research.
He's in for quite a bit. This $50 million is just the latest salvo.
Q: Do you think Bloomberg's latest investment in the gun-control movement will pay dividends?
A: The New York Times mentioned that in terms of political money, this $50 million is twice what the NRA spends annually, (so) my guess is that it will have impact. But whether (Everytown) actually ends up getting a lot of members, I don't know.
The NRA has over 5 million dues-paying members. Moms Demand Action doesn't release its membership rolls, and Mayors Against Illegal Guns has over 800 mayors. But that's only a little over 2 percent of the more than 35,000 mayors in the United States. And if you look at the list, the vast majority of the mayors they have are from very small communities.
But I think Bloomberg is in this for the long term, and for someone who has over $31 billion in wealth, even hundreds of millions of dollars is just a fairly small fraction of the (total) wealth that he has.
Q: Do you feel that Bloomberg was being disingenuous when he said this latest anti-gun push isn't meant to take anyone's gun away from them?
A: Yeah. I think that in his ideal world, the vast majority of people shouldn't be able to own guns. I say the vast majority because Bloomberg has 24-hour, around-the-clock armed bodyguards, so he thinks there must be some role for gun ownership.
But he is opposed to people being able to have permanent concealed handguns. He has supported laws across the country that have imposed fees and taxes on people (who buy) guns, which makes it very difficult for poor people, particularly minorities, to be able to own them.
So I think he would (like) to restrict gun ownership by others as much as possible.
Q: Bottom line: How concerned should the NRA and its members be over this latest effort by Bloomberg to limit access to guns?
A: Well, I don't think this new $50 million group is going to do it. I think the thing that's of greatest concern in the long run is the hundreds of millions of dollars he's spending trying to produce research to go and support his position.
I think Bloomberg believes that if he can kind of create a set of facts that are used in the media, he can go and eventually have an impact on the debate. My guess is that's probably going to have more of an impact (than Everytown).

Children with SLI generally exhibit poor sentence comprehension skills. We examined the specific impact of grammatical complexity and lexical frequency on comprehension performance, yielding contrasting results. The present study sheds new light on sentence comprehension in children with SLI by investigating a linguistic factor which has attracted little research interest: the impact of the lexical frequency of known words on sentence comprehension. We also examined the impact of grammatical complexity and sentence length by independently varying these two factors. Fifteen children with SLI, 15 age- and IQ-matched controls, and 15 controls matched on lexical and grammatical skills, performed sentence comprehension tasks in which three linguistic factors were manipulated: lexical frequency (sentences containing words of either low or high lexical frequency), grammatical complexity (sentence containing either a subject relative clause or an object relative clause) and sentence length (either short or long sentences). Results indicated that children with SLI performed more poorly overall compared to age- and IQmatched children and to lexical and morphosyntactic age-matched children. However, their performance was not more affected by either sentence length or clause type than that of control children. Only lexical frequency affected sentence comprehension to a greater extent in children with SLI relative to the control groups, revealing that SLI children's sentence comprehension abilities are particularly affected by the presence of lowfrequency but familiar words.

The nature and mechanisms of working memory (WM) for musical information remain poorly understood. The aim of this study is to show that musical WM strongly depends upon long-term memory (LTM) mechanisms and requires access to the long-term musical knowledge base. Two groups of participants (musicians and non-musicians) participated first in an implicit learning task during which they heard for about 30 minutes a continuous sequence of tones governed by a new musical grammar. Then, they performed an immediate serial recall task of musical sequences of increasing length; half of the sequences were constructed in accordance to the rules of the new grammar presented during the implicit learning task. Participants have to reproduce the sequences by humming and their performances were calculated on the basis of the deviation between their production and the stimulus needed to be reproduced. The results showed a significant advantage for the lists governed by the grammar previously learned. Overall, this study shows that performance on a musical WM task is enhanced by musical knowledge stored in LTM. This study is the first to demonstrate the dependency of musical WM on musical LTM knowledge, implying that existing models of musical WM need to be extended to account for this WM-LTM interaction.

While verbal short-term memory (STM) has received considerable research interest, STM for music has been given considerably less attention. The aim of this study is to show that STM for musical stimuli is grounded in LTM, as has been shown for verbal STM. Interactions between LTM and musical STM were studied by exploring the impact of musical knowledge and musical expertise on STM performance. The role of musical knowledge was investigated by an implicit musical learning task, where participants were incidentally exposed to a sequence of tones whose succession was governed by an artificial musical grammar; after exposure, a musical STM task was presented where participants had to reproduce tone sequences of increasing length, half of the sequences being legal (obeying to the artificial musical grammar of the incidental learning task). The role of musical expertise was explored by administering the same task to two participant groups: adults with no musical training and adult musicians. For the role of newly acquired musical knowledge, the non-musician participants showed a significant advantage for reproducing legal musical sequences, showing that they had incidentally learned new musical knowledge and that this knowledge supports STM performance. The musicians did not present an incidental musical learning effect in STM recall, but overall outperformed the non-musicians for reproducing both legal and illegal tone sequences, showing an overall effect of musical expertise. This study is the first to document STM-LTM interactions in the musical domain, and this for both new and existing musical knowledge. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 50 (11 ULg)

I have an ASP.NET application which uses login cookies already. I need to provide a link in my application upon clicking which the user should be able to access their info in SalesForce.com using SSO. I'm planning to implement this link as an ASP page that constructs a SAML assertion with the corresponding username in SalesForce.com, posts the SAML assertion to SalesForce.com SAML Endpoint URL, receives the SAML response from SalesForce.com and redirects the user to the session URL contained in the response.
Has anyone tried this approach instead of using a dedicated SSO server (such as OpenAM) ? Are there any issues in this approach ?

Pasadena, CA – NASA has joined a multi-agency field campaign studying summer storm systems in the U.S. Great Plains to find out why they often form after the sun goes down instead of during the heat of the day.
The Plains Elevated Convection at Night, or PECAN, project began June 1st and continues through mid-July. Participants from eight research laboratories and 14 universities are collecting storm data to find out how and why storms form.

Washington, D.C. – Algae are complicated. The little plants can be both good and bad.
Single-celled algae called phytoplankton are a main source of food for fish and other aquatic life, and account for half of the photosynthetic activity on Earth—that's good.
But certain varieties such as some cyanobacteria produce toxins that can harm humans, fish, and other animals. Under certain conditions, algae populations can grow explosively — a spectacle known as an algal bloom, which can cover hundreds of square kilometers. For example, in August 2014, a cyanobacteria outbreak in Lake Erie prompted Toledo, Ohio, officials to ban the use of drinking water supplied to more than 400,000 residents.

Washington, D.C. – Ethanol fuel refineries could be releasing much larger amounts of ozone-forming compounds into the atmosphere than current assessments suggest, according to a new study based on a field campaign that included a NASA sensor.
Airborne measurements made downwind from an ethanol fuel refinery in Decatur, Illinois, in 2013 found ethanol emissions 30 times higher than government estimates.
The measurements also showed emissions of all volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which include ethanol, were five times higher than government numbers, which estimate emissions based on manufacturing information.
Air-quality readings over the Midwest were made from an aircraft in 2013 at three different distances downwind from an ethanol refining plant in Decatur, Illinois. The measurements were used to calculate emissions of various gases, including VOCs, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide. (Joost de Gouw)

Greenbelt, MD – The ISS-RapidScat instrument has been in orbit seven months, and forecasters are already finding this new eye-in-the-sky helpful as they keep watch on major storms around the globe.
RapidScat measures Earth's ocean surface wind speed and direction over open waters. The instrument's data on ocean winds provide essential measurements for researchers and scientists to use in weather predictions, including hurricane monitoring.
On Jan. 28, 2015 from 2:41 to 4:14 UTC, ISS-RapidScat saw the nor'easter's strongest sustained winds (red) between 56 and 67 mph (25 to 30 mps/90 to 108 kph) just off-shore from eastern Cape Cod. (NASA JPL/Doug Tyler)
Pasadena, CA – You can't predict the outcome of a marathon from the runners' times in the first few miles. You've got to see the whole race. Global climate change is like that: You can't understand it if all you have is a few years of data from a few locations. That's one reason that a fourth-generation satellite launching this summer is something to get excited about.
Jason-3, a mission led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that is currently scheduled to launch on July 22nd, is the latest in a series of U.S.-European satellite missions that have been measuring the height of the ocean surface for 23 years.

Pasadena, CA – Researchers from several institutions are in the Four Corners region of the U.S. Southwest with a suite of airborne and ground-based instruments, aiming to uncover reasons for a mysterious methane "hot spot" detected from space.
"With all the ground-based and airborne resources that the different groups are bringing to the region, we have the unique chance to unequivocally solve the Four Corners mystery," said Christian Frankenberg, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, who is heading NASA's part of the effort.

Greenbelt, MD – The Magnetospheric Multiscale, or MMS, mission is scheduled to launch into space on March 12th, 2015. The mission consists of four spacecraft to observe a phenomenon called magnetic reconnection — which doesn't happen naturally on Earth all that often, but is a regular occurrence in space.
At the heart of magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physics process in which magnetic field lines come together and explosively realign, often sending the particles in the area flying off near the speed of light.

Greenbelt, MD – NASA's Terra satellite captured an image of the snow-covered eastern U.S. that looks like the states have been sitting in a freezer. In addition to the snow cover, Arctic and Siberian air masses have settled in over the Eastern U.S. triggering many record low temperatures in many states.
On February 19th at 16:40 UTC (11:40am EST), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument that flies aboard NASA's Terra satellite captured a picture of the snowy landscape.

Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA), the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, and the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) urge citizens to avoid unnecessary road travel on Monday as the state prepares for a severe winter storm. Motorists who must drive on Monday are advised to check local forecasts and road conditions before travelling.
Middle Tennessee will be under a Winter Storm Warning starting at 9:00pm, CST, Sunday until 6:00am, CST, Monday. The National Weather Service is forecasting a wintry mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain at Tennessee's border with Alabama. Along Tennessee's border with Kentucky, six inches to 10 inches of snow is possible.
Snow and ice on the roads.
Greenbelt, MD – Some of the coldest air of the 2014-2015 winter season was settling over the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. on February 13th, 2015. That Arctic air mass brought wind chills from below zero to the single numbers from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic.
Despite the cold on the surface, infrared NASA satellite imagery revealed even colder temperatures in cloud tops associated with the air mass.
NOAA's GOES-East satellite provided a visible and infrared picture of the clouds associated with the Arctic air mass, as they stretched from the eastern Dakotas to the Mid-Atlantic region.
This false-colored infrared image from the AIRS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite at 7:29 UTC (2:29 a.m. EST) shows cloud top temperatures over New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire near 245K/-28C/-18F (greenish to blue shading). (NASA JPL, Ed Olsen)

Will I love it when I get it home?
Like all hot tourist spots, New Orleans offers a range of really great to really tacky merchandise. Mardi Gras is, of course, a (yawn) common theme in souvenier shops as is weird "jazz funeral" junk and really nasty T-shirts. To be honest, beads and hats and other Mardi Gras stuff can be found in most local party-supply stores. If it's a real throw from a real float during real Mardi Gras, sure, OK, fine. You can probably snag some free beads just hanging around on Bourbon Street late at night (especially if you remove some clothing). Let's just say that a lot of this stuff isn't worth forking over for.
For those with limitless funds, there's good art, specialty clothing and accessories (see pix) and antiques all over the Quarter and Magazine Street. Go crazy. For others on tighter budgets, spend your $$ on sightseeing, eats and fun first (NOLA isn't cheap) and then hit the stores. New Orleans is famous for food and music so a few suggestions might be pralines (see shopping tip), hot sauces, chicory coffee, drink mixes or other edibles connected to local flavor. My favorites are CDs - they're easy to pack and good forever. Jazz, rock, blues, Dixieland, whatever - if you hear a great local band, ask them if they have a CD for sale. They usually do. This city is LOADED with drop-dead great music.
I figure if I'll wear it, eat it or use it long after the trip is history, it's a good buy.
Fun Alternatives: Unless you know at first glance that it's a "must have", I'd recommend shopping on the last day of your trip as prices can vary widely. A pound of chickory coffee at an upscale shop might be several dollars more expensive than at the French Market or other outlet so shop and compare. Shopping after downing 4 Hurricanes at O'Briens is probably not a great idea. :)Related to:

The Konriko Rice Museum
I was so excited when I saw the sign for the "Rice Museum", odd person that I am, because I thought it would have all sorts of cool historical rice-related stuff. But the Konriko Rice Museum is really just an expensive place to buy rice and other Konriko products, as it turns out. You don't have to pay to get in, but unless you want to buy some pricey rice I'd just avoid the place and save your time for something else.Related to:
- Family Travel
Cafe du Monde - that's right, you heard me!
Cafe du Monde started out as a beignet "stand" many years ago. The last time I was there, one could walk up to the stand, order a beignet and chickory coffee and possibly find a seat at one of the few tables positioned outside.
Presently, Cafe du Monde is no longer a "cafe", but a loud, obnoxious, overcrowded dump. For gosh sake, don't use the bathroom (yes, only one) in the back or you'll never step foot in there again. To access the public restroom, one must walk through the kitchen where the beignets and coffee are being prepared. There are despicable acts of horror going on back there - just take my word for it and stay away.
Unique Suggestions: Don't use the restroom. Just wait in a long, long line for your authentic New Orleans beignet.
Fun Alternatives: Where to go then? See my restaurant tip for Cafe Beignet - conveniently located just across the street.
Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum
During My first trip to New Orleans, I had all these plans to visit famous historical venues and museums. what was the only museum I ended up going to, you ask?
yup. sadly the ripely's believe it or not museum which was suprisingly entertaining in a wierd, campy kind of way.
admission was a little expensive at 10 bucks a pop, but it's pretty big and it's right on Decanteur at the Jax Brewery (a place you want to avoid going into)
go see Lee Harvey Oswald's toe tag and cringe in horror at the world's ugliest woman. marvel at the beauty of the old testament carved intricately on the skeleton cross hanging or try your hand at opening the locked gate upstairs.( it only took *me* one try, but I'm not telling how I did it. You'll have to figure that out for yourself:P)
here's a picture of an 'authentic' vampire hunter's kit found at the museum.
Unique Suggestions: make a pit stop in the bathroom(it's funny in a 'haha' kind of way), get yourself a tacky 51cent souvinir or pay to have your fortune read by a vending machine:P you're dooomed! dooooooomed!Related to:
- Museum Visits
The Bands are Just as Good from the Street
There are many places that offer good music. Most are great to hang out in for a while, but a few are way overpriced and pushy and rude about food/drink minimums.
Unique Suggestions: Listen from the street for a bit before you end up in a dive like Petout's (or the Cajun Cabin or Bourbon Viex - all the same owner) wondering why you are paying for a drink what the bottle would cost and to be ignored by your wait staff to boot.
Fun Alternatives: Despite how they may act, your business is important and you can spend your time, and money, wherever you choose.
Horse-drawn Carriage
These rides may be something you might be interested in, but you need to be cautious of your driver overcharging you. Just agree to the price before boarding. These rides are the consumate flag for locals that you are a tourist, but if you are one, who cares, right? They do show you the sites and the drivers are known to be well versed in NOLA history. And BELIEVE me, they will give you all the information you can handle!
Unique Suggestions: The biggest "meeting ground" for the carts is across from Cafe du Monde in Jackson Square. As you can see in the picture you will have your pick. My suggestion would be to go to each one and get the best price.

To be totally Honest, I don't see what is wrong with this world today. People express themselves in ways that one but those two people understand between themselves. I know kim and kanye are alittle out their but real talk they are two people in love or for what ever their connection it is, only they can understand that and interpenetrate each other souls and hearts. The media needs to stop this Hating words and learn to read betwee n the lines and understand that you may never understand two peoples love for each other and that is something that only God himself could and would any understand. STOP THE HATRED BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY TO FIND PEACES WITH IN THIS WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN. HATE DESTROYS EVERY THING THAT COMES IN ITS WAY BUT LOVE, PEACE AND HONOR ARE ALL LOVE FROM GOD AND PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT HOW TO LOVE OTHERS AND TRY THAT THEIR IS SOON MANY WAYS TO LOVE IN THIS WORLD THAT IS BECOMING A VERY SAD AND LONELY WORLD WITH OUT LOVE, PEACES AND HONER.That all I got to say about this stupid articular. PEACE OUT AND IF YOU WANT TO HATE ME FOR MY WORDS THEN SO BE YOU JUST LOST IN HATE TO ME AND I AINT ABOUT TO WASTE TIME DWELLING YOUR SORROW OF HATE.
I would rather watch Beyonce they to have to watch Miley with her flat butt and no shape. Beyonce has an amazing boy and she is really beautiful. But the only thing that bothers me is why does she have to snoop so low to Miley level? she is better then that and doesn't have to show all that skin, to be sexy. I think she did this video to show Miley how it is done, and to show her who Queen Diva. LOL

"Seabreeze on Tybee is a perfect place to stay. There were 3 children and 4 adults in our group and we all had plenty of space. The sofa's and bed's were comfy and the entire home was spotless! The bathrooms are beautiful, especially the master with the skylight, Jacuzzi tub, and two person shower. This home is in walking distance to the lighthouse and the beach. The owner Tom and the lady's at Ocean Front Cottage office were very helpful. There were fresh flowers in the kitchen when we arrived! That's what I love about the South... that southern hospitality can't be found anywhere else!"Guest: NCfamily Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: January 13, 2015View listing

Tybee Island Travel Tips
Just 18 miles from wonderful Savannah, Ga., lies gorgeous Tybee Island - an exceptional spot of you're looking for a relaxing, culturally enriching getaway.
Also known as Savannah Beach, this barrier island is easily accessible and sure to offer plenty of attractions of sights to please everyone. There's a rich history to be found here in various forts and museums as well as stunning natural scenery to experience. If that's not enough, you'll savor every meal as Tybee Island is known for it's diverse cuisine, but you can work off the extra calories by exploring the 3 miles of pristine beach, whether you're jumping in for a swim, strolling along the shore or casting a line to do some fishing.
If you're hoping to take advantage of a laid-back atmosphere and seriously lower your stress levels, you've come to the right place. Simply breathe in the salty sea air and you'll instantly feel all that tension just melt away.
Things to Do on Tybee Island
- Fort Pulaski: Step back in time to the Civil War era with a visit to Fort Pulaski, which was sieged by the Union Army and considered a "landmark experiment" in military science and invention history. Today visitors can check out the Fort Pulaski National Monument that offers year-round activities. The fort itself along with the demilune, ditches, drawbridges and dikes provide you with a wonderful example of military architecture, while indoor displays showcase the fort's history from its construction to its eventual fall to improved military technology. You can even take a guided tour to learn even more interesting facts about Fort Pulaski and its history.
- Tybee Island Light Station: Since 1732, the Tybee Island Light Station has been providing safe passage for sailors and mariners into the Savannah River. This historic station is one of the most intact in the U.S. as it still has all of its support buildings spread out over 5 acres. The station itself has been rebuilt on several occasions and currently displays the day mark from 1916. At the top is a First Order Fresnel lens, and it takes 178 stairs to reach it. This lovely spot if perfect for taking photographs you'll remember forever with such a beautiful backdrop, so don't forget the camera!
- Tybee Marine Science Center: Animal and water lovers alike won't want to miss out on a trip to the Tybee Marine Science Center. Here you can learn about the Tybee Island Sea Turtle Project as well as the local salt marsh and the creatures that live there. Kids will love exploring the beach walks, and everyone can appreciate the Coastal Georgia Gallery. You can even see a loggerhead sea turtle in the new aquatic display designed by the Georgia Aquarium.
- Tybee Museum: To learn even more about the history and heritage of Tybee Island, visit the Tybee Museum, which was established in 1961 by the Tybee Island Museum Association. One of the most intriguing features here is the museum's location in Battery Garland at Fort Screven, which was originally used to mount a large, rifled, long-range cannon. Throughout the space you can peruse artifacts, pictures, relics and exhibits detailing more than five centuries of history.
Dining on Tybee Island
- The Crab Shack: A favorite dining spot for visitors and locals alike is The Crab Shack, which features some of the best seafood on the island. In fact, the eatery has been voted as having the "best seafood" and "best outdoor dining" for years. There's a cool, laid-back vibe here that makes you want to just sit back and relax as you enjoy a variety of crab dishes, oysters, soups, stews and much more. Take in stunning views of the water and enjoy a nice afternoon or evening out.
- A-J's Dockside Restaurant: Another great place to grab a meal is A-J's, where you'll find even more delicious seafood. They've been serving customers since 2003, and offer both indoor and outdoor seating. From the outdoor deck, you'll be treated to amazing views of the Back River throughout your meal, adding some serious charm and ambience. If you're having dinner, you may even get to watch the sunset. Try the conch fritters, crab stew, salads, burgers or fish entrees and then rent a kayak and paddle off all those calories!
- The Breakfast Club: It's important to start the day off right with a healthy first meal, so stop by The Breakfast Club, a family owned and operated eatery that's won "best breakfast in Savannah" on several occasions. The sausages and sauces are all homemade, and the chef makes sure that everything is served fresh. Egg dishes, breakfast burritos, burgers and waffles are excellent menu choices to give you plenty of energy to get your through the day's adventures.

The New Oxford Guide to Writing
There is an apparently endless supply of books about writing. Very few of those books, surprisingly, offer a thorough and scholarly approach to the basics: words, sentences, and paragraphs. The New Oxford Guide to Writing does. According to author Thomas S. Kane, writing is "an exercise of mind requiring the mastery of techniques anyone can learn." Kane's not claiming he can create a genius, but, as he says in his introduction, "you don't have to be a genius to write clear, effective English." The writing that Kane refers to here is expository and persuasive in nature--writing most likely to be required in day-to-day life. In great detail Kane explores the building of an essay, the development of paragraphs, the styling of sentences, the use of diction, and, finally, issues of punctuation. It is unlikely that very many writers have scrutinized the building blocks of language the way Kane has, but it's never too late. Rare is the sourcebook that can offer so much both to beginners and experts alike. And anyone who loves words will thrill to encounter--if he or she hasn't done so already--the freight-train sentence, parataxis, the triadic sentence, polysyndeton, asyndeton, collocation, and zeugma. --Jane Steinberg

On the outskirts of Alsager near Stoke on Trent, the BEST WESTERN Manor House Hotel stays stylishly true to its 17 th century farmhouse heritage. The hotel is recently renovated and all 57 ensuite bedrooms have also been refurbished. Hotel facilities include the charming Ostler Restaurant, spacious oak-beamed Stables Bar and Grill, heated swimming pool and Sauna and four meeting/function rooms.
With so many stress-busting features it's a world away from its working past and offers the ideal escape from everyday distractions! As a base for touring Staffordshire and Cheshire, few hotels come close and our reputation as a superb 'stop-over' is just as impressive. Business and leisure travelers will love our location and everyone who stays here will benefit from comfortable public areas and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere throughout.
