Because so many people in Carroll County have been concerned with the lack of positive role models for youth, as the Industry Training and Development Specialist of the Carroll County Area Technology Center I would like to share with you a unique event that fosters relationships between young people and caring adults.
Upon reading his own obituary in a newspaper, American author and humorist Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, wrote a letter to the editor stating simply: "The rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated."
As the pastor of St. Peter Lutheran Church, located on State Hwy. 36 between Milton and Carrollton, I was rather surprised to hear that, unbeknownst to me or my parishioners, St. Peter Lutheran Church is going to close.
Two issues were recently raised in the Carrollton City Council, and both are disturbing.
First a councilman and councilwoman both argued for weakening enforcement of laws which mandate that citizens clean up their yards, and don't park unlicensed junk cars on their property. While both council members are fine people, they are just wrong on this issue.
After having read several recent letters to the editor concerning cleaning up the City of Carrollton, I am prompted to express my feelings as a council member.
On Feb. 19, I had the privilege of attending a meeting presided by Ruth Baxter. The meeting was about stimulating the economy.
The discussion centered around creating jobs for local residents and the emphasis was put on the urgency of buying locally. Everyone in the community needs to stop and think about what might happen to Carrollton if the local businesses were not here anymore. Most everything you buy from a business outside of Carrollton can be purchased here locally for about the same price.
Many people are asking, what does "The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009" mean to me, as it pertains to the "First-time Home Buyer Credit"?
Well, that is the $8,000 question. Here it is, in a nutshell. Last year, Congress provided taxpayers with a refundable tax credit equal to $7,500 or 10 percent of the purchase price, (whichever is the lesser of the two), on a home purchased by a first-time homebuyer on or after April 9, 2008, and before July 1, 2009.
I am writing in regard to Coach Corbin and the fourth-grade boys basketball team.
On Feb. 21-22, they played in a tournament in Madison Ind., games at 9 a.m. and approximately 3 p.m., and the fourth-grade tournament in New Castle, Ky., at 11 a.m. and approximately 1 p.m. They played again at 2 on Sunday in Madison.

Illinois Community Banker: We Need a More Balanced Regulatory Environment That Promotes Lending
Washington, D.C. (May 17, 2010)—Greg Ohlendorf, president and CEO of First Community Bank and Trust, Beecher, Ill., on behalf of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), today said that our country needs to return to a more balanced regulatory environment that promotes lending, economic recovery and bank safety and soundness.
"Community banks support commercial lending and local economic activity not supported by Wall Street," Ohlendorf said during a field hearing before the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations in Chicago, Ill. "Even during these challenging times, our nation's nearly 8,000 community banks remain committed to serving their local small business and commercial real estate customers. However, the banking agencies have moved the regulatory pendulum too far in the direction of overregulation at the expense of lending. We need a balanced regulatory environment that promotes lending, economic recovery and bank safety and soundness."
The Illinois community banker said that his bank and other community banks all over the country are facing challenges that can hinder their ability to make small business and commercial real estate loans, including lack of loan demand from qualified borrowers. "Many of our best small business and commercial real estate customers cite their uncertainly about recovery as their key reason for not seeking additional credit," he said.
Ohlendorf offered various solutions, including a proposal to amortize loan losses over 10 years for regulatory capital purposes. He said that this proposal was successfully used during the agricultural crisis in the 1980s and is a reasonable lifeline for banks suffering from commercial-real-estate loan losses. He also said that he supports the administration's proposed $30 billion Small Business Lending Fund. "A properly designed program will encourage additional small-business lending, fuel job creation and help create economic stability," he said.
Finally, Ohlendorf said ICBA recommends including the entire amount of the loan and lease allowance as part of a bank's risk-based capital. He said this would help 45 percent of Illinois banks.

Plant Tissue culture: Tissue culture in plants is a method of growing specific plant tissue or mass of tissue in-vitro under strict aseptic conditions.
This is done in-order to clone a plant or grow large number of plants in short time for cultivation in green houses or to obtain useful bi-products of plants in continuous way.
Plant tissue culture is also done to obtain secondary and essential metabolites like plant drugs in ample quantity and desired quality. Tissue cultures also helps in study of various bio-synthetic pathways and other physiology of cells. Plant tissue culture can be embryo culture, seed culture, tissue culture, cell culture etc.
Plant tissue culture has many advantages and applications like.
- Bulk production of any desired mass of substance or tissue.
- To study physiology or synthesis of any plant component.
- To avoid environmental and other natural adverse conditions on growth of desired plant or plant constituent.
- To safely store plant tissue or cell for future.
Plant tissue culture labs: Tissue culture labs are those where very sensitive experiments are carried out. Hence they require strict Aseptic conditions. Unlike external growth, tissue or cell growth requires strict aseptic conditions. Otherwise the chances of infection and contamination can destroy the growing cell or tissue mass. Few requirements for tissue culture lab include.
♠ Sterile air flow.
♠ Clean interiors i.e. flooring, walls, ventilators, work benches etc.
♠ The provision for very few movements and less utilities to avoid dust spread and also accumulation
♠ The personnel when before entering lab should wear separate clothes inside the lab and shoe to prevent contamination due to external environment.
♠ The lab should be regularly cleaned and disinfected. Even ultra-violet lamps can be used for air sterilization.
Media for tissue culture: Nutrient media plays an important role in tissue culture. It is very vital for proper and timely growth of cells and their multiplication. Since nutrient media is the only source of nutrition, it should supply all the basic requirements like carbohydrates, amino-acids, minerals, hormones and salts etc at proper proportions. It should be sterile and be non-toxic to the tissue or cell under culture.
All the ingredient of the media are to be sterile hence one can use autoclave or membrane filters based on their thermal resistance power. Tissue culture media preparation should be done in aseptic rooms and conditions.
Inorganic elements: Macro elements:
Potassium supplement: As KCl or KNO3 or KH2PO4.
Calcium supplement: CaCl2.2H2O, Ca (NO3)2. 4H2o.
Magnesium source: MgSO4.
Phosphorous source: NaH2PO4.H2O, KH2PO4, NACl.
Micro elements:
manganese supplement: MnCl2,
Zinc source: ZnSO4.
Copper source: CuSO4.
Aluminium source: AlCl3.
Other micro nutrients like bismuth, molybdenum, nickel are also added.
Organic compounds:
Carbon source- Sucrose/glucose 2-4%
Vitamin source:
Thiamin HCl (o.o1mg/lit)
Pyridoxine (0.5mg/lit)
Nicotinic acid (o.5mg/lit)
Folic acid (0.5mg/lit)
Pantothenic acid (0.5mg/lit).
Amino acid source: Arginine, aaspartic acid, glutamic acid, glutamine, methionine.
Growth hormones:
Indole-3 Acetc acid.
Napthalene acetic acid.
2,4 D (2,4-dicho phenoxy acetic acid).
Kinetin, zeatin, benzyl adenine.
coconut water, yeast extract, malt extract, casein hydrolysate.
Also one can include activated charcoal to adsorbs impurities from media. pH of 5.2 to 5.6 is best with temp of 25o c.
Tissue culture equipments like Complete air conditioned lab, laminar air flow, autoclave, BID incubators, Shakers are also needed.
Steps in tissue culture:
→ Tissue or cell of an interesting plant is selected and sterilized (disinfected) by mercuric chloride or alcohol.
Sterilization of cells: The cells taken for tissue culture are to be surface sterilized to make them free from any bacterial or fungal infections. Care should be taken during their handling, transfer etc. to keep them free from infection.
→ Then tissue is placed in media and incubated with proper oxygen supply and right temperature.
Oxygen supply: Since tissue has no direct mechanism to take up oxygen, oxygen supply has to be provided. The gas should be free from contamination and also aseptic. The rate and pressure of flow of gas into the chamber of tissue culture should be optimal.
→ The tissue or cell multiplies and then forms plant-lets.
→ This can be transplanted to green house. Tissue culture plants are highly sensitive to tolerate natural environment conditions. They have to be slowly adopted to normal atmosphere. So first they are to be grown in green houses.
Video demo:
Tissue growth curve:
When a cell is incubated in media, it shows four phases in growth.
a) Lag phase: The phase of adjustment to new environment. Here the cells just grow in size but don't multiply.
b) Exponential phase (log phase): Here the cells multiply profusely and grow in numbers. This is a useful phase to produce bi-products in large quantities.
c) Decline phase: Here the multiplication of cells slows down. Nutrients are exhausted.
d) Stagnant phase: The cells here remain in fewer numbers without further multiplication. This is due to lack of nutrients, accumulation of toxins etc.
Plant Tissue Culture Techniques:
There are mainly two major techniques in plant tissue culture.
a) Static culture (Solid-agar Medium): It can also be called as callus plant tissue culture. In this procedure, the plant-tissue is grown on solid agar medium and always gives rise to tissue mass called a callus. This callus culture technique is easier as it is easier and even convenient for initial maintenance of cell-lines, and also for carrying out the investigation studies related to organogenesis i.e organ formation.
b) Suspension cultures (Liquid media): Here the cell aggregates, or even single cells are grown in liquid culture. The cells are kept suspended by using agitators/shakers/ impellers. The actual growth rate of the liquid-suspension cultures are much higher in comparison to those grown solid-agar medium. Besides, this technique provide much superior control over the growth of biomass as the cells are always surrounded by the nutrient medium completely.
Types of suspension culture:
1) Batch suspension cell culture: Here the cells or tissues are grown in a fixed volume of nutrient medium. Once the cells reach exponential phase, the entire culture is replaced with new one. It is closed type of culture.
2) Continuous suspension culture: Here there is continuous addition of nutrition media. The dilution rate is such that an equivalent volume of media is removed out proportional to the in flow from top. The cells are always kept in exponential growth phase.
I) Open type: Here the system is kept continuous with constant addition and removal of cultured cells.
II) Closed type: Here cell proliferate till completion of exponential phase. Then there is fresh addition of nutrient media & culture media.

Re: HIP HOP
I wasn't trying to pass it off as wholesome.
A lot of hip hop is offensive and that is a fact. But, the way you were sepaking is if it all is offensive. A handful of songs doesn't describe a whole genre.
I was putting up the stance that there is plenty of hip hop that doesn't meet the criteria you described. Artists I mentioned before.
The "music" that is popular is made to draw attention and use key selling cliches: sex, drinking/clubbing and the like. I have heard it, and don't like it, and wonder why it is popular and ATMOSPHERE isn't....it is because a lot of the mainstream music isn't meant to be intellectual. It is meant to provoke an immediate response and is made for the simple minded.
I was trying to make a point that some hip hop,. or even the pop that has "rapping" over it is definately in the off color category, sure. Some is not.
I was trying to emphasize that to get the gist of the true hip hop I was speaking, you need to hear things that are made to enhance your mind, not lessen your wallet.
If drunk people in a club need to hear a hip hop style beat with a rapper talking about being drunk, fine, there is "product " out there which suits this need.
If your a head and you want a great MC, there is stuff out there.
Unfortunately it isn't popular because people are very much like sheep and will take whatever is spoonfed to them without questioning. They will see what is being sold to them and make an assumption, a generality about a whole music genre.
It is like saying there is one kind of jazz.
It is a predjudice without making an informed decision.
It is like saying all Metal music is about the "devil," and tells people to kill themselves. As foolish as these viewpoints are,there are people who subscribe to them.
It is clearly a point of not having been exposed to enough of the genre to make true statement.
If I were to look at any point in history, I could see peaks and valleys in the music that is popular. Some of it is great, the beatles for example, some is terrible.
Looking at what's popular isn't an exhaustive approach of a whole music genre.
What is popular isn't quality, most of the time.
Only looking at a short list of today's music , listened to by the herd, doesn't help you see all the gold hidden underneath, in the underground, or even in the past.

Burma's state-run media blames Kachin rebels for conflictBy Zin Linn Jun 18, 2011 11:39PM UTC
Burma or Myanmar's government has blamed ethnic the Kachin revolutionary group for opening a week of fighting along the country's northeastern border with China.
The state-run New Light of Myanmar reported Saturday that the army assailed the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) only to protect a major Chinese-built hydroelectric power project that had come under intimidation.
According to New Light of Myanmar, KIA has been hampering projects in Kachin State, posing threats and disturbance to Chinese staff who are working at hydropower projects.
It also said that on May 5, the KIA entered Lahsa Hydropower Project on the east bank of the Malikha River and threatened Chinese staff to move to the west bank of the river within two days and to withdraw the extended camps from the east bank as quickly as possible.
The paper added that on June 8, a KIA group examined a member of Tatmadaw (Burma Army) security unit at Tarpein Hydropower Project in Kachin State and seized a rucksack with rounds of ammunition. In that regard, two Burma Army officers went to KIA camp to settle the issue. But they were detained by KIA without any reason.
Although the government troops told the KIA to withdraw from its temporary camp near Tarpein Hydropower Project not later than June 11, the KIA did not follow. The Burma Army column inevitably attacked and occupied the temporary camp on June 12.
New Light of Myanmar also underscores Tarpein Hydropower Project is the joint venture project of the Ministry of Electric Power No. 1 and Datang (Yunnan) United Hydropower Developing (DUHD) Company of China. The project is vital since the two sides have invested heavily in the project.
The KIA did not take note of the government warning, instead it launched heavy weapons fire at the project from its Dunbon Outpost, the newspaper said.
Burma Army columns had to inevitably attack the KIA just to rescue its officers detained by the KIA. In response to the attack of the Burma Army, KIA blew up nine bailey bridges, 10 RC type bridges, four concrete bridges, two wooden bridges, altogether 25 bridges, which are of importance in transportation of Kachin State, from 14 to 16 June.
Using misinformation terms, New Light of Myanmar also wrote that the government has publicly opened the door of peace to welcome those who are holding different views if they wish to cooperate with the government in mutually concerned cases for the interests of the nation and the people. KIA nowadays needs to realize the actual attitude of the State.
The state-run New Light of Myanmar also wrote brazenly that the only objective of the Burma Army in launching attacks on KIA is just to protect its members and an important hydropower project of the nation without even a single intention of aggression or oppression, the newspaper said.
But, the real dealings are totally different from what New Light of Myanmar has said. According to the firsthand frontline reports, the hostilities against KIA were started by the Burmese government and the KIO has to use their own right to defend their native land. In the view of Kachin people, their land has been forcefully occupied by the Burmese government.
The Burmese government has exploited natural resources in Kachin State by using its armed forces. The Tarpein Hydelpower Project is being constructed by China to facilitate its power needs. In return, China protects the Burmese government, which has very bad human rights records, by using its veto power in the UN Security Council.
However the KIA is opposed to the project, saying the dam will be environmentally and socially destructive.
In fact, armed conflicts between the Burma armed forces and KIA has widened since the ethnic armed group refused to accept the junta's new constitution which says Burma Army is the only military institution in the country.
Several ethnic armed groups including the KIA have already decided to defend their basic rights by holding their guns. If the new President Thein Sein government fails to solve this delicate political question by means of political dialogue, civil war may not be avoided.

Up to 8% of home heating costs can exit through a fireplace chimney with an open or damaged damper. A tight fitting, gasketed chimney damper will help stop heat loss. It's like replacing old leaky storm windows with a tight-sealing energy-efficient window.
Additionally, weather related damages to chimneys cost home owners millions of dollars every year. A chimney without a cap allows rain and snow to be absorbed into your chimney's inner flue tile, outer bricks and mortar. Freeze/thaw cycles will compromise the integrity of the structure; mortar loosens and bricks will eventually be dislodged. Sometimes the front facing of the bricks will pop off. Top mount fireplace dampers also act as a chimney cap to keep birds, animals and even insects out of your chimney.
Energy Top
The ENERGY TOP and Energy Top+ Dampers are a top mounted damper that also serves as a chimney cap. When closed, this low profile damper is a great solution for saving "paid" energy dollars for historical homes with leaky or missing dampers. The Energy Top+, which features a stainless steel chimney cap, is featured at the lower left corner of the page.
Heat loss up the fireplace chimney accounts for an average 8% of your home heating costs! Energy Top and Energy Top+ Dampers help prevent this heat loss. Stay warmer and save money!
The features and benefits of the Energy Top and Energy Top+ Dampers:
In the closed position, above left, the Energy Top serves as a chimney cap.
The ENERGY TOP and ENERGY TOP+ dampers attach to the top of the flue tile on fireplace chimneys. Our models are sized by common flue tiles and available in 6 Sizes:
Each damper kit includes:
Optional Accessories:
ENERGY TOP and ENERGY TOP+ Dampers are made for use only with open woodburning masonry fireplace chimneys and are NOT suitable for use in these installations:
Energy Top and Energy Top+ Dampers can be installed by homeowners who feel comfortable working on a roof, but Lindemann Chimney Co. Inc. strongly recommends you use the services of a qualified chimney sweep who can also inspect your chimney and provide other valuable home safety services.
Energy Top and Energy Top+ Dampers may be used on round factory-built chimneys venting a fireplace. An RS Adapter for solid-pack chimney or a RS Adapter for air-cooled chimney is available to make this transition. Note: This may affect the fireplace listing. Check with the fireplace manufacturer before installing the adapter and damper.

Exercise files accompany the course.
If at any time you come across a problem with Pro Tools, I highly recommend visiting the Avid web site, and utilizing their Knowledgebase. Click on Support & Services, and navigate over to the right side. Under Pro Tools Support, click Knowledgebase. Just type in some keywords about your issue into the search box down here, and you'll often get an answer on the first page of the search results. I've used this countless times for my own studio and almost everyday for helping out my students.
There is also a great tool to help with troubleshooting called the Tech Support folder. It includes a tech support utility, a PC Wizard, and troubleshooting sessions. This is probably included when you install Pro Tools on your computer, but if not, you can download it from avid.com. If I type it in here into the Knowledgebase and search for it, it comes up right here.

Odyssey: American Road Trip
Course: 188
Section: 014, 015, 028
Instructor: O Grady, Tim
In this class we will read several non-fiction accounts by American writers of their trips across the United States by various means (car, camper, bicycle, boat, etc.) and of each writer's experiences thinking, talking, and learning about this country, his fellow citizens, and himself. We will spend approximately two weeks on each book, discuss in class what we have read, and then complete one writing assignment keyed to each text, focusing on what we have learned from it, how it resembles traveling and personal encounters we have had, and those parts of the narrative we consider most worthy of responding to and remembering.

Napolitano Announces Next Steps for Southwest Border
Seth Hoy: Although Secretary Napolitano trumpeted DHS's new border initiatives as well as past achievements, she also acknowledged that the border can never be hermetically sealed and that stalling immigration reform by highlighting border security issues is not the answer to our immigration problems.

A Lopsided Approach to Border Violence Doesn't Solve Anything
Seth Hoy: while advocating for the allocation of more money and manpower to "secure the border" may make for good campaigning in an election year, experts find that beefing up the border actually does little to curb border violence. In fact, these "get tough" border initiatives—more troops, fencing and operations that target non-violent border crossers—pull valuable resources away from solving violent crimes.

SAS soldier case 'built on coincidence'
Posted: July 09, 2013|
The case against an SAS soldier accused of possessing a pistol and more than 300 rounds of ammunition is built upon a "remarkable coincidence", a court heard.
Sergeant Danny Nightingale, 38, based at Hereford, is on trial accused of possessing the Glock 9mm handgun and 338 rounds of ammunition.
His defence barrister, William Clegg QC, told the court martial board in Bulford, Wiltshire, that the prosecution was asking them to accept "pure coincidence" and "chance".
Mr Clegg said that the pistol recovered from the wardrobe of Sergeant Nightingale's bedroom – said to have been brought back from Iraq in 2007 by his client – was identical to one his housemate admitted to obtaining in the war-torn country four years earlier.
The court martial has heard how both weapons were discovered by civilian police in September 2011 when they raided the private rented house Sergeant Nightingale shared with an SAS colleague known only as Soldier N.
Soldier N, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, has previously admitted firearms charges in respect of a Glock 9mm pistol and ammunition found at the house and received two years' military detention. Sergeant Nightingale now maintains that the account he gave police – in which he confessed to bringing the pistol back from Iraq in 2007 and keeping leftover ammunition from training sessions in the UK – was a "false confession" caused by a brain injury he suffered in 2009.
"In 2003 two guns arrived in Iraq," Mr Clegg told the five-person military board in his closing speech. They are identical to each other in every respect. There are probably hundreds of thousands of firearms in Iraq of all different shapes, sizes and calibres from all different countries in the world. But these two arrived from the same source, from the same factory in Austria in the same year, 2003.
"Let's not get away from the prosecution case – their case is that it is pure coincidence. It's just one of those things of chance that can happen presumably over time.
"Just a pure coincidence.
"You must decide whether the starting point of the prosecution case is one you accept as likely or even credible coincidence."
Sgt Nightingale, of Crewe, Cheshire, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of possession of a prohibited firearm, namely a Glock 9mm pistol, between November 26, 2007, and September 16, 2011. He also denies possession on or about September 16, 2011, of ammunition, namely 122 9mm live rounds, 40 7.62mm live rounds, 50 9mm frangible rounds, 50 .338 armour piercing rounds, two .308 rounds and 74 5.56mm live rounds.
The trial was adjourned until tomorrow

Acute Myeloid Leukemia, AML, is a rapidly progressing type of leukemia that is usually found in adults over 40, but 8-year-old Abby Olson of Shakopee was diagnosed on Sept. 26th.
Only about 500 people are diagnosed with this cancer of the blood and bone marrow every year in the United States and it's rarely found in children.
Abby's diagnosis means she will need about 6 months of treatment, most of which will be spent in-patient at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis.
To help offset some of the high cost of the treatment, Abby's family is planning a spaghetti dinner and raffle benefit at the Savage American Legion on Saturday, Dec. 1st. The benefit will go from 2 to 8 p.m.
According to the Facebook page that was set up for the event, tickets for the spaghetti dinner are $15. The dinner will include spaghetti, dinner salad, breadsticks, cookies and a choice of coffee or punch.
Raffle tickets will be available and there will be an area set up for families to get up to five portraits taken by a professional photographer for $10.
The event will be held in the banquet room in the back of the legion and guests are encouraged to bring their kids along. All proceeds will go to the Abigail Olson Donation Trust at Wells Fargo, according to the event page.
Dinner tickets will be available at the door or in advance by contacting Russ Rice at 952-292-8777 or Sarah Olson at 952-445-2209.
Donations can be made by stopping in to any Wells Fargo Bank and specifying the amount you would like to be deposited into the 'Abigail Olson Donation Trust'.
People can also mail donations to: Wells Fargo, 8041 Brooklyn Blvd., Brooklyn Park, MN 55445. Mailed donations will need to note that they are for the 'Abigail Olson Donation Trust' and attention William Couch.
According to the event page, the family has linked a Paypal account that will directly deposit to the Wells Fargo fund.

Night Beds On World Cafe
By David Dye
Originally published on Wed April 3, 2013 6:09 pm
Night Beds is the work of Winston Yellen, who originally started making music in his hometown of Colorado Springs. But he traveled to Nashville to write the songs for Night Beds' debut album, Country Sleep, in a pre-Civil War cabin once owned by Johnny Cash.
The lyrics may have come from Nashville, but the record's open, dusty sound is pure Colorado. Yellen brings his amazing, wide-ranging voice to this installment of World Cafe, playing songs from Country Sleep as well as a track that didn't make the album.

St. Louis Is "Comics' 2nd City"
"Project Comic Con" convention comes to St. Louis Sept. 21-22

September 06, 2013
Comic book conventions like the one coming to St. Louis on Sept. 21 get Mike Phoenix all excited. That's because this Crestwood fellow wrote the book on comic books.
Phoenix's book, "Comics' Second City: The Gateway History of the American Comic Book," sings the praises of St. Louis for being one of the nation's premiere comic capitals.
"Our local history with comics may be the reason conventions have been doing so well here," said Phoenix. "We had 30,000 people at a convention in St. Louis in March on a weekend with a record snowfall. They kept coming despite the weather."
In his book, Phoenix describes St. Louis as second only to New York City for comics. Among the reasons that St. Louis has been a comic book mecca: Joseph Pulitzer and his newspaper funny pages; the rise of World Color Printing; and, a mind-boggling bunch of talent for creating comic characters here in St. Louis.
"Comic books are the descendants of the American newspaper comic strip, and Pulitzer of St. Louis built his newspaper circulations, in part, with his funny pages," explained Phoenix. "Comic books can trace their lineage directly to comic strips."
Another St. Louis comic connection is the rise of World Color Printing, which printed New Fun Comics, the very first comic book from which the powerhouse of DC Comics would evolve. DC Comics has been home to the world's greatest super heroes, including Superman and Batman.
In chronicling the creative talent behind comics, Phoenix cites the work and research of another Crestwood resident, Dan Martin, who draws the Weather Bird today for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Martin is author of "See You In The Funny Papers," which catalogs dozens of world renown cartoonists with St. Louis connections.
"You really can't talk about comic books without mentioning some of the creative people who did comic strips whom Dan Martin has researched," said Phoenix. "People like Chic Young, George McManus, Phil Davis, Ray Moore, Al Hirschfeld, Mort Walker and, of course, Walt Disney."

Creative genius and Missourian Walt Disney, who will soon be played by Tom Hanks in a biographical movie, brought many comic book super heroes to the silver screen.
Today, Marvel Comics, which includes Spider Man, Iron Man and the X-Men, belongs to the Disney Corporation. And that's the company named for the legendary Disney, whose own signature character, a pet mouse, was created in his Missouri animation studio in the 1920s.
Dark Time For Comics
In his book, Phoenix describes the golden age of comic books in the 1930s and 1940s. He also describes a resurgence for comic books in the 1970s. In between was a dark time for comics involving censorship — and, yes, there was a St. Louis connection.
"It seems like we go through cycles when everyone gets worried that something is corrupting our youth," said Phoenix. "In the 1950s, the fear was comic books and it was partly inspired by a book, 'Seduction of the Innocent,' which said violent and graphic comic books were causing juvenile delinquency."
Comic book burnings followed. So did Congressional hearings. U.S. Sen. Thomas Hennings, D-St. Louis, took on comic books in his role on the Senate Judicial Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency.
Comic book publishers closed and their employees were out on the street. Phoenix describes how one publisher, William Gaines, saw distributors drop his entire line of comic books, save one. That was Mad Magazine, which later went on to become highly successful.
Phoenix also interviews St. Louis comic book legend Dennis O'Neil, who blames the comic-book burning frenzy on the paranoid atmosphere of the McCarthy witch hunts. It brought an end to a golden era of comic books.
Interest in comic books saw a revival in the 1970s. Movies and TV shows involving super heroes resulted in a renewed interest. However, the golden age was gone forever.
Today, comic book art finds a place on the Web. The books themselves are gone from American newsstands. Comic books are largely the province of fan clubs and collectors. However, let it be noted tens of thousands of enthusiasts keep the comic book hobby thriving — and the comic conventions thriving some here in St. Louis.

The Westport Sheraton will host Project Comic Con from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sept. 21-22. Collectors will abound as will a new breed of artists, designers, writers, animators, colorists, video and Web creators.
Peter Coogan of
Webster Groves
, who heads the Institute for Comic Studies in St. Louis, said he has been going to the national Comic Con conferences in San Diego, Calif., for years. As head of the institute, he lectures on such topics as the cultural legitimacy of comics at conferences.
"Comic books were once considered to be a disreputable medium," said Coogan. "They were like jazz, rock and roll, even the novel at one time. They were considered a lower form of art or communication. I think we know now they are part of the culture and cultural expression.
"In America, comics are viewed as all being super-hero stories for geeky kids who want to fantasize being somebody else," said Coogan. "There's a lot more going on than that, and especially at the global level. It's very interesting to see what is going on in other countries."
Coogan is in a unique position to promote comics study in St. Louis. As a graduate student in American Studies at Michigan State University in 1992, he co-founded the Comic Arts Conference (CAC) with Henderson State University communications professor Randy Duncan.
Also at Michigan State, Coogan wrote his doctoral dissertation on comic books and the theme of the super hero. He later published it as a book. He has held weekend comic book studies forums at Webster University.
"I've always been a reader of comic books," said Coogan. "At conferences like Comic Con, there are always a lot of investors looking at what might be available for sale. For me it's always been about the content."

This is probably going to sound like a typical "what if" thread, but there is a thought behind it. Like many others in here I have collected way too many cameras, lenses, and photo equipment. In reality, I can only use one camera and lens at a time because I was only born with two hands (one holds the camera or lens while the other snaps the picture).
Yes, buying camera equipment is fun, and we justify it by saying to ourselves (or our spouses) that we "really need" that new lens, or we "have to update" an old camera body, etc.
Here comes the "what if" part:
What if a large sinkhole came and swallowed up your home, office, or car with all of your camera equipment and you were forced to save ONLY ONE camera with one lens and one flash? Which camera would would it be and why?
Many of us will have different answers depending on many factors, including which camera brings in the rent money, which has more sentimental value, etc.
The challenge:
Take that camera/lens/flash combo with you for the next month and only use it for all the images you create. ( I know, some of us shoot weddings, press, advertising, etc. and will not be able to do this, but use your "sole survivor" camera for all your artistic or "fun on the side" stuff.)
The goal behind this challenge is to create an outstanding image by having to use your imagination, problem solving abilities, and photographic knowledge. Just for fun we should all come back to this thread in 30 days and post our best images and relate our experiences using that one camera/lens/flash outfit.
For the next 30 days (excluding the weddings I have to do) I will use only a Nikon F3HP with MD4/Nikkor 35mm 2.0 lens/Vivitar 285HV flash for all my images. Anyone else want to give it a shot? (cute pun intended)

Fitting that a politician is participating in a play about corruption and its being performed at the Athens.

EFF is pleased to announce two new additions to our FOIA Litigation for Accountable Government (FLAG) Project: Staff Attorney Jennifer Lynch and Open Government Legal Fellow Mark Rumold. Our FLAG Project uses the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and other tools to uncover and expose important government information, protect individual liberties, and hold government agencies accountable.

As we now know, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement — allegedly conceived to reduce the flow of fake physical goods across borders — could cut people off of the Internet, turn Internet intermediaries into copyright cops, and create a global framework that puts severe restrictions on innovation.
With the next round of high level negotiations taking place in less than a week, now is a great time to remind negotiators that ACTA must safeguard the fundamental rights of all citizens and not impede Internet innovation.
Social network service providers today are in a unique position. They are intermediaries and hosts to our communications, conversations and connections with loved ones, family, friends and colleagues. They have access to extremely sensitive information, including data gathered over time and from many different individuals.
Here at EFF, we've been thinking a lot recently about what specific rights a responsible social network service should provide to its users. Social network services must ensure that users have ongoing privacy and control over personal information stored with the service. Users are not just a commodity, and their rights must be respected. Innovation in social network services is important, but it must remain consistent with, rather than undermine, user privacy and control. Based on what we see today, therefore, we suggest three basic privacy-protective principles that social network users should demand:

Welcome to the website of Bermello Ajamil & Partners (B&A), a
multi-disciplinary award-winning design and project delivery firm. We
hope you will visit this site regularly, use it as a source of information
regarding our firm, and share your comments with us from time to time. If
you have any questions or would like additional information, feel free to
contact us.
Our seasoned professionals coupled with our state-of-the-art technology, a
steadfast commitment to our clients and craft, and strategic geographic
locations are the cornerstones of our success.
At B&A, we are committed to doing whatever it takes to exceed our clients'
expectations and help them succeed.
Commissioned by The Congress Group, B&A New York is developing the schematic design of a 436,000 square foot facility consisting of a commercial building located at 125 Pennsylvania Avenue in Framingham, Massachusetts.
The building will potentially house one of two great American companies ? Bose or Genzyme. As such, the design incorporates the companies? primary functions and also integrates the site?s topography. Two towers will house the main branches of the companies; Research and Development and Business Office space. The center, consisting of a three-story, translucent glass/atrium bridge, will connect the two branches.
The parking structure blends into the topography by application of a drastic height change designed to minimize its presence. The multi-dimensional glass façade is not only appreciated by the local observers, but employees are also stimulated by the skins innovative glass treatment as they walk from the open parking garage to the transparent gallery pathway which spills into the atrium space.
Along the gallery is a public plaza which includes restaurants and a gym. At a 90% efficient core in the center of each tower, the surrounding open space encourages flexible and efficient configurations of office or laboratory space, all of which will be afforded a panoramic view of the beautiful New England scenery.
September 2008 - Inauguration of the New Passenger Port of St. Petersburg
Phase I of the New Cruise Passenger Port of St. Petersburg, Russia master planned by Bermello Ajamil & Partners will be inaugurated next Wednesday the 10th of September.
This portion of the project will support service for 2 mega cruise vessels to the area.
Phase II Work Continues
Work continues on phase II of the massive 25-hectare cruise passenger port which will be fully operational in its entirety by May 2010 supporting a total of 7 cruise vessels simultaneously. The port will also serve as the hub for a larger land reclamation project of more than 450 hectares supporting expansion of the City of St. Petersburg over the next 20 years.
B&A is excited to be involved in this project which will breathe new life to the City of St. Petersburg?s waterfront, allowing for its continued leadership and growth of the region?s cruise tourism efforts.
