Inert ordnance found near Jackson Park
BREMERTON - Navy officials are working to remove inert ordnance found Tuesday night near Jackson Park.
Someone walking along the beach near Jackson Park on Tuesday reported what appeared to be ammunition, according to Navy spokesman Tom Danaher.
He said the found ordnance was about 16 inches in diameter and likely came from an old 16-inch round, which was traditionally fired from battleships.
The ordnance is not a danger to the public, he said.
The ordnance was found in an area where ammunition from battleships used to accumulate from 1904 to 1959. Most of the ammunition found is from the 1940s, Danaher said.
Navy officials are working with Bremerton police to remove the ordnance. Danaher said the Navy will dispose the ordnance by blowing it up.

This year I attended my first "Día de los Muertos" assembly at the SFWS Grade School Campus. I must admit that even though I was raised in Argentina, I had never been to such a celebration before. So when Sra Febe left me a voicemail asking if I wanted to be a part of the parent team that supported the logistics of the event, I immediately signed up with enthusiasm. I had no idea what to expect.
Día de los Muertos is a unique festival that resulted from the merging of Aztec rituals and Spanish religion that occurred in the 16th century. As a part of this tradition that celebrates our ancestors, the "Día de los Muertos" ritual promotes a sense of community by sharing a meal that usually consists of "pan de muerto" – a special bread that is supposed to have the shape of a person – and some sweets. Our job as parents was to help setup the room and to figure out how to carry and serve over two hundred cups of warm chocolate within five minutes past the end of the presentation. When a few of us told Sra Febe that the timing seemed a little bit tight – aka "impossible" – she looked at us with a smile and said "Oh don't worry, you parents will figure it out," in a way reminding us that we did indeed live in Silicon Valley where everything is possible and serving some chocolate shouldn't represent such a challenge! But the sweetest part of the day wasn't the chocolate; it was what preceded the chocolate.
The main act featured a presentation put together by the 8th grade class. The play directed by Sra Forrer included excerpts from Don Quixote de la Mancha, a novel written by Spanish novelist Miguel de Cervantes in 1605. It is the story of a country gentleman called Alonso Quijano who reads too many books of chivalry and becomes a character in his own fictitious world, under the new name of Don Quixote. The students from 8th grade showed great mastery on stage acting five different scenes taken from the novel, reciting the story and the dialogue in perfect Spanish. The production of the play showed great attention to details and kept alternating Spanish language with short segments in English, keeping the crowd engaged with the story at all times. I guess SFWS knows something about storytelling! Don Quixote's lady love – Dulcinea – was first featured in a "teatro de sombras" (shadow theatre) and then through a beautiful song and a magnificent Flamenco dance. The choreography that Sra Forrer put together for the acting and dancing performances was flawless. There was magic in the air when, directed as a choir by Sra Febe, the 6 and 7th graders sang "The Impossible Dream" from the musical "Man of la Mancha." When the song ended, all of us adults in the hall had the "Oh that's beautiful! I didn't want it to end!" look in our faces. The entire event was a true masterpiece of teamwork and collaboration between students, teachers and parents.
What followed was pure flow. Within four minutes the entire hall magically had a cup of warm chocolate in one hand and a piece of "pan de muerto" in the other. Two minutes after that the first graders were asking for seconds…
It was interesting for me to get there that day thinking of the dead, then worrying about chocolate and finally leaving with a sense of beauty in my mind. A meaningful experience, indeed.

Zildjian's newest drumstick comes from one of their long-standing cymbal artists, Danny Seraphine. Danny's legendary integration of jazz chops with a rock feel has been cited as a major influence on many of today's great drummers. His stick features a grip groove at the proper fulcrum point of the stick. This facilitates proper hand positioning and comfort. Constructed from U.S. Select Hickory, it features a teardrop-shaped tip for full and articulate sounds.

Comments about Zildjian Danny Seraphine Drumsticks:
I love these sticks! Previously I was in the habit of always checking to make sure my balance points were even. Now it's automagic! Also, I feel like I'm channeling 'Danny' when I play.

I play traditional grip and these are well balanced in your hands. Nice tip bead, sticks are matched in weight, if you are a user of 5A sticks, you'll love these.
Comments about Zildjian Danny Seraphine Drumsticks:
Zildjian Danny Seraphine Artists Series Drumsticks
I really like these sticks! I picked up a pair about two weeks ago when my local music store first got them in. Admittedly, I first noticed them because I've been a long-time fan of Danny Seraphine's work, mostly in Chicago, but CTA I guess too. That being said, I don't buy sticks because of the name on them, but because I think they will be good for my playing. And they are.
I've found that the groove is great for two purposes: Makes the stick easy to hold onto (and I like this method better than the dip grips, personally), and helps to quickly find that perfect balanced fulcrum point for control and speed. Every time I pick them up I instantly feel comfortable, not having to juggle them in my hands until I feel the right grip location and all. Just as Danny has done for years, I play a lot of different genres on drums, sometimes corssing between them quickly within a single session or song. These sticks are a good all around choice for rock, funk, jazz, latin, I've found success and ease of playing with all styles. My one hope is that Zildjian might release these sticks with more tip options. The teardrop is good, but an arsenal of a fine ball-tip, maybe a nylon, etc would be great to roundout the line. Even as-is, these come highly recommended, and for the price you can have plenty on hand.

A high school junior's graphic design has been chosen to grace Arlington windshields as the county's winning 2013-2014 vehicle decal.
Ben Jenks, a Washington-Lee High School junior, designed the decal based on this year's decal competition theme of "USS Arlington." The theme was chosen to highlight the ship bearing the county's name that will be commissioned this spring. The USS Arlington is named to honor those who lost their lives at the Pentagon on 9/11 and the first responders who risked their lives.
"I think this decal will be a fine inspiration to the sailors and Marines that will be onboard our ship, the USS Arlington," said Treasurer Frank O'Leary. "It will also be a fitting tribute to those who died and those who served so heroically on 9/11."
Jenks' design was chosen through a county-wide vote after the field of competitors was narrowed from 23 entries to four finalists. The other finalists were Wakefield High School junior Kira Tucker, Wakefield High School junior Isabel George and Washington-Lee High School junior Ben Tobin.
The Treasurer's Office began the design competition for high school students in 2005. This year, 2,080 votes were cast online and by mail.
Starting next week, ARLnow.com will be introducing a new weekly feature intended to highlight some of our furriest and friendliest neighbors.
Each week, we'll pick a new "Arlington Pet of the Week." From dogs, cats, birds, fish and everything in between, the feature will include photos and an explanation of what makes that week's pet so special. The owner of each Pet of the Week will receive a gift card to a local pet store, in addition to the recognition of just how awesome his or her pet is.
If you think your little guy should be a contender for Arlington Pet of the Week, email one or more photos of and a 2-3 paragraph write-up about your pet to [email protected]. Please also include your name and the neighborhood you live in. All material sent to ARLnow.com may be used for publication.

The four finalists in the county's annual vehicle decal design contest have been revealed.
For the first time, the 2013-2014 decal contest included a theme. Entrants — the contest is open to Arlington high school students — were told to include a photo of the new USS Arlington in their design. They were also given the option of choosing a background color for the first time.
Arlington residents can vote for their favorite of the four designs via the Arlington County Treasurer website. Voting will close on Thursday, Jan. 24, 2013, and the winner will be announced at the Jan. 29 Arlington County Board meeting.
The winning design will appear on over 155,000 windshields.
Home Sales Up, Prices Down — October home sales in Arlington were up 45 percent by volume, year over year, but prices were down. The average home price decreased to $542,941 from $562,217 in October 2011, which was partially attributed to a larger proportion of rowhouse and townhouse sales in relation to detached single-family homes.

'Incredible Edible Book Contest' — On Dec. 1, the Cherrydale Branch Library will hold an "Incredible Edible Book Contest."

The Arlington County Treasurer's Office will again be holding a contest for high school students to design the county's new annual vehicle decal, but this year's competition will have a theme.
All designs for the 2013-2014 decal must feature an image of the USS Arlington, a new Navy ship named after the county in commemoration of the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon. The ship will be commissioned in Hampton Roads, Va. this coming spring.
The design contest is open to all high school students residing or attending school in Arlington. Entries are due by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 21. Rules and entry instructions can be found online.
Four decal design finalists will be announced on Thursday, Dec. 13. The winning decal (chosen by popular vote) will be announced on Jan. 22, 2013. The new decals will be distributed next summer, to be displayed on the windshield of more than 155,000 vehicles in Arlington.
Mystery Surrounds Eden Center Shooting — Questions still surround the murder and suicide that occurred at the Eden Center in Falls Church on Saturday night.

Board May Drop Retail Requirement for Condo Complex — The Arlington County Board is poised to reverse a requirement it set 9 years ago for the Woodbury Park condo complex to reserve interior space for a convenience store. The store would have been located inside the 364-unit complex, with no outside signage and no easy access for non-residents. Nobody has stepped up to rent the space, so county staff is recommending the Board drop the retail requirement and allow Woodbury Park to build a condo unit in its place. [Sun Gazette]
Library, Bayou Hold Instagram Photo Contests — Arlington Public Library and Bayou Bakery restaurant (1515 N. Courthouse Road) are both holding photo contests aimed at smartphone users.

The library's contest is entitled the "Steve Jobs Memorial Juried Cell Phone Photo Show," while the Bayou contest is called "Bayou by You." [Arlington Public Library, Bayou Bakery]

The Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA) has entered a wacky video into a virtual dog show contest.
The Best in Shelter contest highlights dogs that have had a hard time being adopted. Four area shelters were chosen to participate, and must submit a video submission for each canine entrant. Visitors to the website vote for their favorite dog based on the video, photos and listed information.
In addition to fulfilling the goal of finding homes for the featured dogs, the shelter with the winning pooch will receive a $50,000 donation. The second and third place winners will receive $25,000 and $15,000, respectively.
Longtime D.C. area resident and New York Times bestselling author Martha Grimes started Best in Shelter last year to bring attention to animal shelters. She is providing the prize money.
"I'm happy that the four animal shelters participating in Best in Shelter will help demonstrate that shelter dogs are the equal to purebred dogs when it comes to looks, love, and loyalty and would be a happy addition to any family," Grimes said. "We hope this will encourage people who have not considered adopting a pet from a shelter to visit their local shelter to look at the dogs."
AWLA made the special video (above) for Gaston, a four-year-old American Bulldog mix, because he has been there for so long. Shelter officials hope the publicity from this contest might help to find Gaston a good home. AWLA's other entrants are Molly, Pooh Bear and Rumor.
Another Arlington-based organization, Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation is also a contender for the prize money. It entered Daphne, Harley, Cowboy and Pepper.
Voting takes place from now until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, June 17. Anyone may vote, but there is a limit of one vote per day. Winners will be announced sometime next week.
ARLnow.com readers have spoken, and the photo above — "Morning Coffee at Iwo Jima" by Kevin Wolf — has been chosen as the best of the best in our pre-Memorial Day Summer Photo Contest.
The winning photo received 226 votes. "Fourth of July Fireworks from the Netherlands Carillon" by Clint Farrell was a close second with 210 votes, while our third place winner, "Douglas Park Fire Station" by Mary Troyan, received 183 votes.
Kevin, Clint and Mary will receive $100, $50 and $25 gift cards, respectively, to Fire Works Pizza in Courthouse (2350 Clarendon Blvd). Kevin will also receive a ARLnow.com tote bag. Thank you to Fire Works for sponsoring our contest and helping to give us give us some summer scenes to look forward to as we counted down the hours to Memorial Day weekend.
Here's wishing you and yours a great holiday weekend, Arlington.
It was tough work but we've narrowed down the dozens of entries to our Summer Photo Contest to ten finalists who successfully captured a unique, visually-appealing summer scene in Arlington.
Fire Works Pizza in Courthouse (2350 Clarendon Blvd) is sponsoring the contest in celebration of their new outdoor canopy, which will help keep patio diners cooler when the sun's beating down, warmer on cool evenings, and dry during summer downpours.
You can vote below for up to three of your favorite entries.
Voting will take place through 2:30 p.m. tomorrow (Friday, May 24). The finalist who receives the most votes will receive a $100 gift card to Fire Works Pizza along with an ARLnow.com tote bag. Second and third place will receive a $50 and $25 Fire Works gift card respectively.
Memorial Day is just around the corner. That means it's time to break out the swimsuits, sandals, sunscreen — and the cameras.
In celebration of their new outdoor canopy — which will help keep patio diners cooler when the sun's beating down, warmer (thanks to built-in heaters) on cool evenings, and dry during summer downpours — Fire Works Pizza in Courthouse (2350 Clarendon Blvd) is sponsoring a summer-themed photo conest.
We're looking for your best summer snap from around Arlington. Maybe it's your friends celebrating a patriotic holiday, neighbors out at a street festival, lightning from a summer thunderstorm, your pet trying to keep cool during the dog days of summer — anything that just screams "summer in Arlington." (Since it's not officially summer yet, it's okay if the photo was taken in previous years.)
Email one photo in JPG format to [email protected] by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, May 23. Please include your name (which may be published) along with the best email address at which to contact you (which will not be published). ARLnow.com will pick 10 finalists and will let readers vote on their favorites this coming Thursday, May 24.
The finalist that receives the most votes will receive a $100 gift card to Fire Works along with an ARLnow.com tote bag. Second and third place will receive a $50 and $25 Fire Works gift card respectively.
The contest is open to U.S. residents 18 years of age and older. By submitting a photo to the contest you affirm that you took the photo, own the rights to the photo, and agree that ARLnow.com can use the photo for any and all contest-related purposes. Limit one entry per person.

Remember Columbia Pike resident Jesse McLaughlin, the government security analyst who was named the 2011 Apartments.com Roommate of the Year?
Well, it seems that McLaughlin's good luck in the roommate department didn't end there. He recently proposed to his roommate — his girlfriend, Lisa — and the pair are now engaged.
McLaughlin said he spent the prize money ($10,000 plus free rent for a year) on an engagement ring.
"I was able to spring for a ring with the money I saved by winning the grand prize and not having to pay rent this past year," McLaughlin said in a press release. "If there had been any question before, now I am definitely Roommate of the Year, at least in my fiancee's eyes!"
Apartments.com is now seeking entries for its 2012 Roommate of the Year contest.

Rosslyn might not quite be Manhattan on the Potomac, but a loft-style condo that's up for an award from HGTV does have a certain SoHo vibe to it.
A penthouse condo at Rosslyn's Wooster and Mercer Lofts condo building (1600 Clarendon Blvd) is one of eight finalists for an HGTV "Doory Award" under the "Urban Homes" category. The two story, 1,111 square foot, 1 bedroom/1 bathroom condo features Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, 25 foot ceilings, a kitchen island, private roof deck, two walk-in closets and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances like a Wolf gas range and a Sub Zero refrigerator. The building was built in 2007 and the condo is priced at $791,000.
The condo's competition in the HGTV contest includes units from other trendy multifamily properties in big cities like San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Seattle — and New York City itself.
You can vote for Arlington's hometown entry in the contest on the Doory Awards website.
Disclosure: John Eric, an ARLnow.com advertiser, is the listing agent for the condo.

(Updated at 11:05 a.m.) Last year Arlington Public Schools hosted an "Arlington Idol" singing competition for high school students. This year, adults are getting a chance to compete in their own contest.
As part of its adult education program, APS is hosting the "2012 Arlington Sing-Off Competition" for those 18 and over.
Auditions for the contest are taking place on Friday, May 11 and Thursday, May 17 at 7:00 p.m. The May 11 audition is being held at Washington-Lee High School, while the May 17 audition is being held at Kenmore Middle School. There is a $10 registration fee for all participants.
Entrants must sing as a soloist — no groups are allowed — and they must do so acapella, at least during the audition phase. Songs must be memorized, and profanity is not allowed.
Three judges will help narrow down the field. The judges are Bolormaa Judgersuren, an opera singer originally from Mongolia; Dawn Frederick, a professional singer and vocal coach; and Adelaide Ruble, a recording artist and vocalist for a local swing dance band.
After the auditions, a semi-final competition will be held at Jefferson Middle School on May 21. The finalists will compete at Jefferson Middle School on June 5.
Anyone interested in competing can register online or call 703-228-7200. The grand prize for the competition is a $100 gift card and an opportunity to perform at Arlington's first annual "Night of Concert Music," which is being held on June 15 at Jefferson Middle School.

Package updated with stdafx.cpp/.h names changed to lowercase.
I don't know how this "problem" relates to portability as someone not smart enough to solve this "problem" shouldn't be trying to compile it first as they won't be able to do anything useful with it anyway.

Enhancing marine fisheries
Fish stock are released into the wild.
Courtesy of UNSW, Australia
The production of the marine wild stocks is oscillating around its feasible maximum of 80-100 million tonnes and improvements, if any, can only come from sustainable enhancements of the habitat (e.g. through artificial reefs), productivity (providing for limiting elements such as iron) or recruitment (e.g. through restocking/ranching). However, while experience in fisheries enhancement is already well established in inland fisheries, it is still in its infancy and raising issues in the marine environment.
For various reasons, the effectiveness of human enhancements in an open environment are still very uncertain. For decades, emphasis was put on the politically rewarding action (e.g. of putting reefs or fingerlings in the ocean) and on the successful rearing of the animals in captivity for release, little has been done to effectively demonstrate the biological or economic performance of the interventions. Indeed, the late discovery of the inefficiency of many such operations have tended to discredit the whole field as a waste of public resources.
Interest might be renewed because:
With the progress now at hand in rearing marine animals, the potential is growing but the experience, protocols, guidelines, etc., on how to combine fisheries enhancement and management are still missing.
Approaches available
Improvements in productivity may come, inter alia, from sustainable enhancements of the habitat (e.g. through artificial reefs), primary productivity (providing for limiting elements such as iron) or recruitment (e.g. through artificial propagation and restocking/ranching).
Artificial propagation would be a solution to consider: (i) for areas in which a species cannot reproduce naturally due to irremediable loss of critical habitat; (ii) to maintain fisheries despite recruitment overfishing in places and situations where conventional management do not work; or (iii) to boost stock rebuilding.
Physical modifications are likely to be acceptable when they aim in fact at re-establishing natural conditions (e.g. reopening coastal lagoons and wetlands, replanting mangroves or seagrass beds).
Artificial reefs made with using redundant vessels, old tyres, quarry rocks and concrete structures may might be adequate to create additional habitats (e.g. in soft bottoms ecosystems) in order to increase biodiversity; attract predators; develop refuges for adults and juveniles; provide reproductive, feeding or nursery space; or establish biofilters (e.g. with oyster or mussels to re-establish water quality when nutrient loads are too high). Artificial reefs have also been used as "anti trawl" devices.
Potential sources of failure
A strong risk exist that enhancements be considered as a "cool" quick fix to long standing fisheries problems. At best, the technology could find its place into a well implemented ecosystem approach to fisheries. At worst, it will be paying lip service to sustainability at high cost to society, delaying real management action.
To develop a sound marine stock-enhancement, a number of considerations are essential.
First, as a premise, be doubtful about the efficiency of enhancement in general and take "successful" experiments with a grain of salt, examining the claims in light of the steps suggested below.
Second, recognize from the onset that the number of species and individuals released or the extent of artificial reefs built are irrelevant without a detailed assessment of the impact.
Third, when considering the possibility to integrate stock enhancement in the fishery management package:
It is not easy to foresee the future of marine fisheries enhancement. The demand for it should be expected to increase steadily with the growth and development of the world population. Progress in the area is likely to be slow considering the inherent difficulties and the strong a priori dubious or negative attitude of many fishery scientists, ecosystem specialists and environmental NGOs in relation to large scale ecosystem modifications. Considering in particular the complex nature of social-ecological systems, assessing, ex ante, or demonstrating at pilot scale, the expected effects remains a high order challenge.

Accessibility Information for College Instructors
Whether you teach online or in a traditional college classroom, chances are high that you will encounter students with disabilities who require accommodations. What are your responsibilities in providing the accommodations? How do you facilitate them? Here you will find information about the ethical and legal implications for college instructors, and also practical tips for a proactive approach to preparing and delivering course curriculum, information, and materials in the Youtube era.
Universal Design and a Proactive Approach
The principle concepts of universal design were first developed in the fields of architechture and engineering. The idea is to build a world that is people-friendly, a world that is usable by all, regardless of ability. We can all probably think of times when Universal Design has benefitted us, even if we do not have an identified disability. Automatic doors, elevators, and closed captioning on television programs are all examples of universal design in our daily lives.
As applied to education, universal design is a way of considering how to create learning environments that benefit all students. All students in a class are not the same. As individuals, we learn and excel and struggle in similar but different ways. Some students like printed materials, some want audio-visual. If multiple modes are made available, all learners will benefit, not just those who need special accommodations or have been specifically identified as disabled.

At the second annual Summer Celebration guests will graze and mingle while meeting the people behind their food. They'll fill up on seasonal fare and leave knowing they've provided much-needed support for CUESA's ongoing education programs, including free cooking demonstrations, low-cost kitchen skill-building classes, the Schoolyard to Market program, and sustainability scholarships that help farmers become leaders in their field.
This walk-around tasting event will take place downstairs in the Ferry Building and will feature a whole beast carving station, a raffle, a photo booth courtesy of Magbooth and live music.
Because local farmers and artisans are at the center of everything we do, each scrumptious bite will highlight ingredients sourced from the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market.

The latest album might be called ōThe Mighty Death Pop!ö but Insane Clown Posse is very much alive Ś and plans to prove it this year.
In the wake of a battle with the FBI, which has classified the Detroit rap duoÆs Juggalo fans as a gang, ICP is getting ready for an extensive road trek, its 14th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos summer festival, a steady stream of videos for ōThe Mighty Death Popö songs and ōa huge projectö that the groupÆs Violent J promises will ōshock the worldö Ś which, of course, is about all heÆll say about it.
But, he adds, ICP will be packing plenty of surprises when it hits the road May 1 in Rochester, N.Y., with plans to stay out until its annual Hallowicked show on Halloween night in Detroit.
ōWeÆre going to ... pound the pavement this summer,ö promises Violent J (real name Joe Bruce), 40, who had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee earlier this month. ōThis next tour is going to be a brand-new show Ś not just the Clowns and the zombies and the Faygo, but a lot of new stuff going on and a bunch of songs we donÆt normally do in concert.
ōWeÆre going into the catalog and are gonna stop doing the same batch of songs that we always do every tour because theyÆre the concert hits. WeÆre going to do a lot of songs weÆve never done in concert. WeÆll get back to doing the regular stuff that we know everybody loves, but for æThe Mighty Death PopÆ tour weÆre going into the crates to do some new stuff and try some new tactics.ö
Violent J and his partner Shaggy 2 Dope (Joe Utsler), who formed ICP during 1989, telegraphed this move at last yearÆs Gathering, and the reasoning behind it is simple.
ōYÆknow, most people that come to see us have been coming for years and seen ICP, like, 12 times or something,ö Violent J explains. ōWe still get a lot of new people, a lot of young faces. But the majority of the crowd has seen us multiple times, so we want to give them something really different and fresh this time.
ōSo weÆre gonna open some new doors, kick some new flavor and show we donÆt have to rely on our regular bag of tricks. WeÆre looking forward to the challenge and providing something new and innovative and unexpected. We canÆt wait for people to come and think theyÆre gonna see the same old thing and then, boom!, the death pop.ö
FBI casts shadow on Juggalos
ICPÆs latest tour, of course, comes amid the specter of its battle with the FBI, which began last year when the agency announced its gang designation for the Juggalos. That led partly to ICPÆs ouster from the Royal Oak Music Theatre for last yearÆs Hallowicked show and has resulted in other booking challenges as well as negatively impacting the groupÆs merchandise sales.
The Bloomfield Hills-based law firm Hertz Schram PC has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit on behalf of ICP and its Psychopathic Records company seeking documents related to the gang classification. A trial date is set for next March. The firm also has been talking to Juggalos who feel their civil rights have been infringed upon by the designation in preparation for another suit asking for the fans to be removed from the list.
ōThe whole thing is absurd,ö says attorney Howard Hertz, who says the firm has ōgotten thousands of responsesö from Juggalos and is ōweeding through them to come up with a handful of plaintiffsö to move the second suit forward. ōWeÆre not ready to file yet,ö Hertz says, ōbut itÆs getting close.ö
For his part, Violent J says he tries ōto keep my mind off it, honestly.ö
ōIt bums me out, and I get winded when I think of the challenge,ö he says. ōBut weÆre fighting it. TheyÆre gonna have to do their researching in trying to prove the Juggalos are a gang, but that scares me, what theyÆre going to find to say. I donÆt know what to expect.ö
Nevertheless, heÆs buoyed by the support ICP has received.
ōPeople are on our side, especially the clubs and places weÆve been coming for years,ö Violent J says. ōThey know thatÆs (wrong). ItÆs so ridiculously stupid. I expect (the FBI) to say something like, æYou misunderstood what we mean. WeÆre just saying (the Juggalos) behave LIKE gangs ... but to make you happy weÆll take your name off the list.Æ TheyÆll try to talk their way out of it like that.
ōItÆs so dumb and ridiculous and untrue that theyÆre gonna have to do something like that.ö
While the legal wrangling continues, the duo is staying focused on its music. ōThe Mighty Death Pop,ö which was released in three different versions last August, debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Top Independent Albums chart. ICP plans to make videos for at least 10 of the albumÆs tracks and recently released the fifth Ś for ōWhereÆs God?ö a lament thatÆs self-evident from the title.
ōIÆm sure everyone will say God has a plan, but tell that to someone who just lost a loved one to some unfair tragedy,ö says Violent J, who has two adolescent children. ōGod has a plan? F--- that plan if it involves losing your daughter or something. Everybody, unfortunately, feels that way at some point, just ... whereÆs God, yÆknow?ö
The video, interestingly, depicts Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope in monksÆ robes, carrying large crosses past scenes of death, drug use, poverty and other tragedies. Their religious beliefs have always factored into their music, but the ōWhereÆs Godö clip is the most explicit expression of faith theyÆve made to date.
ōI personally believe in God. God gives people hope,ö says Violent J, who was raised Catholic. ōPeople seem to make a big deal out of the fact that weÆre religious; some people say weÆre far more religious than we really are. So with everybody pointing the religious finger at us, we figured we might as well address it and put it front and center.
ōItÆs something else different to do at this stage of the game. We donÆt have all the answers. WeÆre not educated in religion. We canÆt sit here like a priest or a preacher; I havenÆt read the Bible myself. But we believe in God, yes. We say it in the song Ś we still believe and we need him here and all that. But we canÆt explain why heÆs not there to help.ö
ICP has filmed its next video, for ōWhen IÆm ClowninÆ,ö and Violent J says the rest of the albumÆs songs will follow in due course.
ōOur plan is to release 10 music videos,ö he confirms. ōMaking a video today is like releasing a single. More and more people want to have that visual look along with the song. ItÆs just a different industry now.ö
Meanwhile, the group will soon announce details about this yearÆs Gathering, Aug. 7-11 at Cave-in Rock, Ill., which Violent J says will be themed The Rise of the Underground and concentrate ōless on stuff that was huge commercial hits and more on independent, underground stuff.ö
Then thereÆs the next ICP album, which by the bandÆs timetable should most likely roll out in 2014. ōWeÆre starting to think about it now, just recently, and IÆm excited,ö Violent J says. ōIÆm trying to see whatÆs gonna pop into my head as far as a name or an image. Once we settle on that, then itÆll be full speed ahead.ö

One of those features is Firefly, Amazon's rather quirky and amorphous visual search tool. That feature is now arriving on Amazon's more affordable tablet line, the Kindle Fire HD, to give users a bit of an experience of what it feels like to have a digital eye, the Internet, and Amazon's cloud services at your disposal in trying to identify things that you can't.

CIC's Growing Massage Therapy Program
By timrowe
Many of you may have met CIC's long-time massage therapist Shakti Rowan. Shakti has been with CIC for 7 years. She is also, incidentally, part of the in-house massage therapy program at Google, where we understand she was at one point ranked the #2 massage therapist in all of Google!
We are pleased to announce that due to heavy demand, we have brought in a second massage therapist and have expanded the hours that massage therapy is available at CIC. What follows is an overview of CIC's massage therapy program today.
*** CIC's Massage Therapy Program ***
CIC's massage program includes two In-House Therapists: Shakti Rowan and Dawn Lamonica. Both therapists work for themselves in space provided by CIC. You pay them, and CIC does not add a markup. For this reason, their services are exceptionally reasonably priced for the quality of the massage available ($70/hr).
Both therapists provide a variety of therapeutic work such as integrative massage, swedish massage, reflexology, deep tissue massage, reiki, hot stone therapy, and prenatal massage. Some of the benefits often associated with massage therapy include pain relief, improved energy, better circulation, relief of tension and just an overall sense of well-being.
Shakti Rowan LMT graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Therapeutic Massage in 2003 studying Swedish, Deep Tissue, Therapeutic, and Sports Massage. Shakti began working at Cambridge Innovation Center soon after she graduated and has been working with the CIC community ever since. She has a private practice in Jamaica Plain and also works at Google's office in Kendall Sq. offering corporate massage.
Committed to a lifetime of learning she has continued her studies in many modalities. Shakti has completed the Reiki 1,2,3 trainings and is certified in Reflexology. She is also certified in Prenatal Massage, and enjoys working with woman from pre-conception to post birth and has had the honor of being present numerous times during the birthing process. Studying Shiatsu, Barefoot Shiatsu, Ashiatsu, and Tui Na, Shakti offers an integrated massage that may use several of these modalities within a session.
Shakti has also completed a 300 hour program in Hatha Yoga through Harvard University. She can offer assisted stretching during massage sessions and, if requested, she will give clients recommended stretches to take home.
Shakti is also a member of the Vadalna Tribal Dance Co. teaching weekly classes out of their home studio in Jamaica Plain as well as around the country at festivals. Vadalna's dance performances can be seen both locally and nationally. Shakti can be reached here.
Dawn Lamonica LMT has recently come on board as the newest member of the CIC massage therapy team. Dawn is an experienced massage therapist based in the Roslindale neighborhood of Boston. Dawn has treated runners and athletes, pregnant and post-partum women, as well as individuals suffering from chronic pain, injury or repetitive stress disorders. She has studied Neuromuscular Therapy, Oncology Massage, Thai Massage and Reflexology, and is a certified Level 2 Reiki practitioner. Dawn is licensed in Massachusetts and Florida, nationally certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, and is a professional member of the American Massage Therapy Association.
Dawn received her BA in Psychology from Florida International University, then pursued therapeutic massage at Educating Hands School of Massage in Miami, FL. She has worked with the Touch Research Institute at University of Miami School of Medicine facilitating massage research focused on pregnant women and pre-term infants. Additionally, she has experience working in a chiropractic office and has partnered with other therapists to provide wellness massage for corporate and public events. Dawn can be reached here
Please note the new location of the massage room. It is now on the 9th floor. To reserve a massage, please go to massage.cictr.com

Sgt. Jason Demuth had his hands full after two occupants in a fleeing vehicle wouldn't comply with his orders.
The driver, Ronald A. Bischoff, 53, of 5015 Sherman Norwich Road, Willard, and his passenger, Rady D. Davis, 55, of 2270 Ohio 99, Willard, are out on bond. They were released from the Huron County Jail after posting bond Saturday.
About 8:40 p.m. Demuth, of the state Highway Patrol, was at the Spring Street stoplight at the Ohio 99 intersection in Willard. The assistant Norwalk post commander saw Bischoff going northbound as Demuth turned north onto Ohio 99.
As Demuth followed the vehicle, he said Bischoff went off the right side of the road. When the driver went past Townline Road 12, Bischoff went left of center "better than half of his car width," Demuth said.
The trooper activated his lights and sirens at that point.
Bischoff, who continued going north on Ohio 99, went left of center again. He then went right onto Egypt Road and pulled into Davis' driveway.
"He went off the left side of the road when he made his turn," Demuth said.
Bischoff went through the driveway and went into a grassy area before turning and stopping in the driveway.
"That's when he stopped," Demuth said.
The trooper said he then attempted to get Bischoff out of the car, but the driver wouldn't comply.
"(Davis) ran out of the car ... and was ordering his dog to attack. That's when I activated my Taser and Tased him," Demuth said.
One of the prongs hit Davis' cigarettes, he said, so the Taser didn't affect him.
"He went back into his house. ... (Before that) he made threats to get his shotgun," the trooper said.
After Davis went into his house, Huron County Sheriff's Deputy Scott Plew arrived for back-up.
Bischoff was taken into custody without further incident. However, Demuth said he and Plew had to take Davis to the ground.
Davis was charged with resisting arrest, obstruction of official business and disorderly conduct (intoxication).
"An aggravated menacing charge will be pending. That will be a felony," Demuth said.
Bischoff was charged with driving under the influence (DUI), fleeing and eluding, a seatbelt violation and a marked lanes violation.
"He refused a breath test. That was his first DUI," Demuth said.
The pursuit covered about 1 mile. Demuth said Bischoff maintained a speed of 45-50 mph, but didn't stop.

Los Alamos County council members had few questions as elected officials and department directors laid out their plans for reducing expenditures in FY2014 at Monday's budget hearing. However, a couple of items did raise concerns about the impact on residents' welfare and the health of the county as a whole.
A 19 percent reduction in gross receipts tax revenues has resulted in a 13 percent decrease in the general fund and hit some programs even harder.
Community Services Director Charlie Kalogeros-Chattan will be returning to council on April 30 to talk about the impact on the healthcare assistance program (the indigent fund), which is largely funded through GRT. A $394,000 — or 19 percent reduction —in revenue is projected just as demands are higher than ever.
Councilors asked Kalogeros-Chattan for assurances that cutbacks to social services would not negatively impact vulnerable members of the community. Some groups have been saying that as much as $155,000 could be cut from social services.
Kalogeros-Chattan explained that in some cases the money had been redirected, such as into the salary for the new social services manager, who will take over the coordination of contractual services from the Community Health Council.

Carol Saunders: Maltz Jupiter Theatre renovations nearly complete
With the renovations almost complete, club level premium tickets will be available for purchase.
For those who don't have coveted subscriptions, single tickets for the Maltz Jupiter Theatre's 2013/14 season will go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 26.
For the first time, patrons may purchase club level premium seats (available for the last four season productions), accessible through the newly renovated private upstairs club level, The Green Room. All club level premium seats are $79 and include one free drink.
The planned expansion followed a $2.5 million dollar campaign funded by Jupiter resident and founding board member Roe Green and the Roe Green Foundation and other donors. In her honor, the private upstairs club level has been named The Green Room.
"In addition to a beautifully renovated lobby, we are thrilled to be able to offer our patrons the opportunity to upgrade to 62 of our new club level premium seats," said Andrew Kato, producing artistic director. "Patrons will be able to experience the luxury of the new upstairs club level lounge, larger seats, a private bar and restrooms and a grand view of the stage."
The 2013/14 season will begin with "Dial M for Murder" (Oct. 27 Nov. 10), a thrilling murder mystery filled with suspense, jealousy, blackmail and backstabbers. We continue with "Annie" (Dec. 3 22), the Tony Award®-winning musical celebrating America's favorite comic-strip orphan just in time for the holidays!
Next up is "A Chorus Line" (Jan. 14 Feb. 2), the poignant and inspiring Tony Award®-winning hit musical that follows the audition process of theatre "gypsies" as they try to land a job in a Broadway show. Then join us for "Other Desert Cities" (Feb. 16 March 2), the Tony®-nominated new drama that follows a young novelist as she returns home to Palm Springs for the holidays and threatens to expose family secrets.
Our incredible season ends with the beloved Tony Award®-winning phenomenon "The King and I" (March 18 April 6), sure to leave you whistling a happy tune!
Single show ticket prices start at $52, with flexible performance schedule options.
The award-winning not-for-profit theater is also offering two convenient subscription plans, the four-play and the five-play, for the 2013/14 season, Your Ticket to Great Entertainment.
Matinee and evening performances are available, with great individual seats in the third week of the musicals from Tuesday through Sunday. Groups of 20 or more receive an additional discount.
Subscriptions begin at $187. Subscribers will be given the first opportunity to "try out" the new seats by exchanging tickets for one or more productions (without giving up their existing seats) before the general public. Those subscribers who choose to upgrade to club level premium seats will pay an additional flat fee of $20 per ticket above their current ticket price, which will give them access to the club level amenities and one free drink.
The Green Room:
Crews are currently working to add 62 luxurious new seats in the existing second floor space to create an upstairs club level lounge, known as The Green Room.
This second floor renovation will include a private entrance, glass elevator, expanded lobby, bar and restrooms, all adjacent to the 62 new seats. Additional executive offices will also be added to this floor.
The theater is expanding and upgrading the downstairs lobby, increasing restroom capacity and adding a much-needed standalone family restroom. Construction is expected to be complete in October, just in time for the start of the 2013/14 season.
"This will give patrons something truly special," Green said. "It will also give corporations and groups a wonderful opportunity to rent out the space and offer their clients and colleagues a unique experience."
Special Events:
The Maltz also hosts several themed events throughout the season.
School Spirit Night will take place Friday, Dec. 6, at 7:30 p.m., for students 18 and under to attend "Annie" for only $20, with a post-show dessert meet-and-greet with the cast. Student Previews also give students 18 and under the option to purchase tickets to the first preview Tuesday and Wednesday performances of each season show for only $20.
There will also be a new Family Show Time program, featuring two special performances of "Annie" for families on Friday, Dec. 19, and Saturday, Dec. 20, at 5 p.m., and the Fifth Annual Pride Night will take place Friday, Jan. 17, at 6:30 p.m., with pre-show hors d'oeuvres, a performance of "A Chorus Line" and a post-show dessert meet and greet with the cast.
In addition to the season shows, tickets are currently on sale for the theater's annual series of outstanding concerts, comedy shows and more. New shows include the acrobatic troupe "Cirque Zuma Zuma," the smooth sounds of the "Masters of Motown" (sponsored by Seaview Radio) and the spellbinding magic show "Spencer's Theatre of Illusion."
Back by popular demand, the Maltz will produce the spectacular family-friendly musical "Through the Looking Glass" (Nov. 15-16, sponsored by Elmore Family Foundation, John Osher, and The Albert E. and Birdie W. Einstein Fund) and "Hamlet" (Aug. 24), presented by local high school students as part of the Youth Artists' Chair program.
Single tickets for the Theatre's season shows go on sale at 10 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 26.
For one day only, the box office will be open for walk-ins from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Visitors may enter through the side entrance off of Indiantown Road.
"Dial M for Murder" is sponsored by the John McDonald Company and Admiral's Cove Cares, while "A Chorus Line" is sponsored by the Joan and Allen Bildner and California Closets.
"Other Desert Cities" is sponsored by John Osher, and "The King and I" is sponsored by Roe Green, Kathy and Joe Savarese and Homecare America and the National Endowment for the Arts.

CANTON - A New York City developer paid $57,500 for the former Hacketts clothing store in the Midtown Plaza, about half of what the building was assessed for in 2012.
Garry L. Cohen closed on the purchase in July, but he only recently filed the real estate transaction with the St. Lawrence County Clerks Office.
Mr. Cohen own several buildings in the plaza, including thevacant Jubilee store, which has been empty for more than a decade. He also owns the plazas parking lot
He said it made sense to purchase the Hacketts store which he acquired through an April bankruptcy hearing held in Utica. The Hacketts store was among several owned by Patrick Hackett Hardware Co., which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009.
Nobody else was interested, Mr. Cohen said. I didnt want this thing sitting in limbo in the middle of my shopping center. I was a natural buyer for it.
In 2012 the building was assessed for $119,000, more than twice the $57,500 price Mr. Cohen paid for the 5,300 square-foot store.
Mr. Cohen said the space would be suitable for another retailer or office space.
People have been through there, but I dont have a deal, he said. I would welcome inquiries. I dont intend to keep it empty.
He said the store has air conditioning and would be an ideal spot to sell fresh vegetables, fruit and other produce year-round.

Labour migration is crucial for EU growth Δημοσιεύθηκε στις: 13/07/2010, Τελευταία ενημέρωση: 15/07/2010
Multinational companies operating in Europe need access to the right people, at the right time, but such people are not always available locally. Businesses therefore need to be able to transfer key personnel between companies into and within the EU. The proposal on labour migration would help the EU reach its goal of remaining an open and competitive labour market.
The Communication on "Reaffirming free movement of workers: rights and major developments" offers an overall picture of the rights of EU migrant workers, updating the Commission's 2002 Communication, taking on board legislative and case-law developments. It aims to raise awareness and promote the rights of migrant workers.
The existing body of EU law in this area (the acquis) gives European citizens the fundamental right to move freely within the EU for work purposes and protects the social rights of workers and of their family members. In this dynamic area, where change is driven by labour market policy, family structure and the process of European integration, free movement law contributes both to achieving the single market and fostering the social, economic and cultural inclusion of EU migrant workers within the host Member States.
