When you install Microsoft Office 2003, you may receive the following error message:
Microsoft Office setup cannot continue because the installation source has been corrupted.

The 100 second episode scored rating of 0.7 with adults 18-49 on Wednesday night, down from the premiere's 0.9, but more than twice this week's ratings for fellow, not renewed, CW freshman The Tomorrow People which had just a 0.3 rating this week. Arrow's 0.9 rating was up a tenth vs. last week. The full Wednesday ratings report will be posted ASAP.
The panic level for fans of The Tomorrow People likely now goes to 11, because there isn't room for both shows on the CW schedule next Fall and The Tomorrow People is just inches ahead of the cancellation bear's jaws while The 100 is still far ahead of the bear.

Trade between SA and Saudi to increase
Johannesburg: Trade between South Africa and Saudi Arabia will increase to a targeted R60 billion within the next five years, the department of international relations and cooperation said on Wednesday. "The two countries have agreed that the level of investment is far below potential and undertook to work together to explore several initiatives to address the situation," the department said in a statement.
"The two countries have committed themselves to strengthen relations through closer and focused cooperation in areas such as infrastructure development, agriculture, mining and energy, tourism, arts and culture," it said.
International relations deputy minister Ebrahim Ebrahim concluded a working visit to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday after attending a joint economic commission.
The commission resolved to set up South Africa-Saudi Arabia Holdings as an investment holding company to accelerate the development of investment opportunities in the identified sectors.
"This joint venture is a creative and practical mechanism by the private sector to look at large-scale projects in agriculture, mining and infrastructure," Ebrahim said in the statement.

Fifty years ago, on February 5, 1963, President John F. Kennedy sent a special message to Congress about the state of mental health. His statement led to meaningful change in the way Americans view mental health care.
Reflecting on President Kennedy's words, NIMH Director Dr. Thomas Insel said at a recent Senate committee hearing on Assessing the State of America's Mental Health System, "We've made tremendous strides over the past 50 years. A lot has happened in that time but we have a long way to go."

Betty Dean is 10 when she moves to the island of Guernsey to live with Arlette, her mother's boyfriend's mother in Lisa Jewell's Before I Met You. Arlette is in her mid-80s, but still independent, stylish and intimidating. Despite the decades that separate the elderly spitfire and the little girl, they become fast friends. When Arlette's health deteriorates, it is Betty who remains with her, providing loving care while forgoing college, boyfriends and jobs. Following Arlette's death, Betty is provided with a small amount of money, a fabulous collection of vintage clothes and a chance to finally start living. A bequest to an unknown and unfound woman named Clara Pickle leaves the family puzzled and Betty determined to track her down. Betty quickly moves to SoHo determined to find the mysterious Ms. Pickle and kick start her life in the process.
In searching for Clara, Betty also uncovers truths about Arlette and herself. Jewell simultaneously shares the stories of two young women coming of age in two very different Londons. Arlette is a beautiful and charismatic shop girl in a post-World War I London awash with artists and free thinkers. She is swept up in the bohemian movement and her friends include an impoverished artist and a jazz musician. In Betty's London, it is 1995 where jobs are scarce and rent is high. She secures employment at Wendy's and also becomes nanny to the children of notorious rocker Dom Jones. Both young women are balancing independence and good times with work, others' expectations and romantic entanglements.
As the story glides between the two women, readers will be absorbed by the intrigue of Clara Pickle and embrace the fun and feisty Arlette and Betty. Jewell masterfully paints the portraits of two appealing young women struggling with genuine problems that transcend time. Forbidden romance, family dynamics and finding one's self are at the core of this engaging and unforgettable novel of two inspirational women connected by fate.
Nora de Jong is a successful brain surgeon and single mother of a beautiful 6-month-old girl. She lives a quiet and happy life in Texas where she shares a home with her widowed mother. Upon returning from work one afternoon she is horrified to discover that her mother has been murdered and her daughter stolen. Frantic to discover a clue to explain this tragedy and locate her baby, she unearths a small box which has been hidden in the attic. The contents are unfathomable, indicating that her mother was a member of the Nazi party in Holland during World War II and that her father had been wanted for murder. Nora is convinced that the answers to who took her daughter are tied to her parents' past. The Tulip Eaters by Antoinette van Heugten is an intense, fast-paced novel combined with an intriguing work of historical fiction. Through journal entries and recounted memories, the reader is transported to Nazi-occupied Holland. The insidious isolation of the Jews and the heroic actions taken by the members of the Dutch resistance come to life through the author's insightful writing.
Ms. Van Heugten's fascination with this time period started close to home. Both of her parents grew up in Holland during the occupation and were members of the resistance. Typical of that generation, they were hesitant to describe their experiences; however, their activities inspired the author to learn more. She spent time in Amsterdam researching at the Dutch War Institute where she was immersed in the daily life and hardships of the war, as told through letters and diaries. The end result is The Tulip Eaters, a thoroughly investigated, action-packed adventure.
A dizzying amount of wealth permeates the stone fortifications in Anthony Russell's entertaining new memoir, Outrageous Fortune: Growing Up at Leeds Castle. What seems most important is what the wealth symbolizes and how it shapes the lives of those it cradles. Yes, the tweedy set flaunts its well-placed connections. There are pheasant-shoots, duck launches and tea-sipping beneath museum-bound tapestries. Not surprisingly, Russell admits there are also consequences to being reared in a "gilded bubble," where everything material is handed to you. Russell aims to satisfy our curiosity.
For those not familiar with medieval fortresses, Leeds Castle is about as splendid as they come. Located in Kent, England, the former Norman stronghold with ties to six queens of England is among the most visited historic buildings in Britain. Its 900-year history is the stuff of fairy tales. Readers will appreciate the complement of black and white photographs.
The writer-musician Russell, who grew up in this milieu, was exposed to the stuff of kings at an early age thanks to his maternal grandmother and chatelaine, the bold, indomitable Lady Baillie. "Granny B" purchased Leeds Castle in 1926 for the American sum of $874,000. It is here that Russell spent his childhood in the 1950s, absorbing "the castle way." This included eccentric "ceremonies" like fussing over baby ducks and enduring family gatherings where no one paid him much mind. With such a privileged start, gearing up for adulthood beyond the castle gate would have its challenges.
Writing with wry humor, Russell alternates between being sardonic and wistful. He points out unapologetically some of the silliness while poignantly recalling the shear splendor of it all and gratitude for being a part of it. We get to know some of the uniquely British personalities (with names like Morg, Guysy-Wee and Mr. Elves) who help add the color that make this frank, behind-the-scenes look a delightful jaunt, just in time for the return of another extravagant household in Downton Abbey.
It all began with a vacuum cleaner. Popular children's author Kate DiCamillo returns with a tale of a cynical young girl and an ordinary backyard squirrel turned superhero in Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures. The inciting incident occurs in the first few pages (presented in a comic book style by illustrator K.G. Campbell) when Donald Tickman presents his wife with the ultimate birthday present – a Ulysses Super-Suction, Multi-Terrain 2000X. Neighbor Flora happens to be peering out the window just as the out-of-control vacuum propels into the Tickmans' yard, sucking up a hapless squirrel. A fan of comics and survival literature (but not the sappy novels penned by her romance-writer mother), Flora turns out to be the perfect person to revive the fur-stripped mammal.
Well aware that "impossible things happened all the time," she soon recognizes that the squirrel's run in with the vacuum has granted him amazing powers (among them, flying and typing poetry). Upon witnessing his super strength, Flora dubs him Ulysses and becomes his de facto sidekick. Of course, every superhero has an arch nemesis, and in this case it's Flora's own mother who has it in for the rodent.
Campbell's appealing pencil illustrations are essential to the enjoyment of this engaging and exciting novel. DiCamillo is a master at creating the quirky characters that are the hallmark of her work, appealing to both young and older readers. The winner of the 2004 Newbery Medal for The Tale of Despereaux (and a Newbery Honor in 2001 for Because of Winn-Dixie), DiCamillo was inaugurated as The National Ambassador for Young People's Literature on Jan. 10. According to the Library of Congress, the National Ambassador "raises national awareness of the importance of young people's literature as it relates to lifelong literacy, education and the development and betterment of the lives of young people." DiCamillo's platform is "Stories Connect Us" and she will be serving in the position during 2014 and 2015.
In 1600's England, politics and religion are inextricably intertwined. Times are dark and violent, and morality is judged by all. Those who defy the church or the government are branded as witches and killed. Many flee into the darkness to await better times, but one woman dares to remain in the light. Her story drives The Daylight Gate, the new novella by award-winning author Jeanette Winterson.
Alice Nutter is a youthful, strong and well-respected woman. She believes her wealth allows her freedom to live as she pleases, making friends and allies without political or moral consequences. Her choices are not beyond the notice of local officials, however, and they quietly start rumors about her competence. These rumors eventually force her to reveal her secrets and unleash her powers on those who would destroy her. Winterson is an intelligent storyteller, and her spare prose moves the story along at lightning speed. Graphic and violent, The Daylight Gate is a quick dip into a nightmare that just might keep you awake at night.
A.G. Howard creates a new twist on an old tale in her Splinte red trilogy. Unh inged is the newly released second installment of this gothic and modern rendition of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Howard plays on the fact that Carroll based his novel off of a girl he knew, Alice Liddell. In Howard's debut young adult novel Splintered, the reader is introduced to Alyssa Gardner who is a descendant of Alice Liddell.
When Alyssa was young she began to hear insects and plants talking to her, causing her to fear that she would go crazy like her mother and the other women in her family. The only way she can break the curse and free her mother from the binds of insanity is to jump down the rabbit hole and right the wrongs of Alice Liddell. Her adventures in Wonderland leave a lasting impression, and Alyssa becomes forever tied to the ethereal realm.
Unhinged picks up one year after Alyssa's return to the mortal world, where she is doing her best to live a normal life. Because she is so consumed with preparations for prom, graduation, college and planning her future with her boyfriend Jeb, she tries to ignore the whisperings of trouble in Wonderland. When her wonderland mentor Morpheus comes to explain the dire situation, Alyssa is forced to acknowledge that there is a problem. Despite initially feeling like it's not her problem, she quickly changes her tune when Wonderland begins to spill over into the mortal world.
Howard manages to weave together a rich combination of dark and gothic with colorful and creepy to create a unique world Tim Burton fans are sure to appreciate. This trilogy is one of those series that has the ability to cross over from young adult fiction to adult, so don't hesitate to pick it up for a paranormal adventure.
It can be difficult raising a head-strong, impatient, stubborn and impulsive little girl. But what happens when that little girl is also a witch? That's the challenge Salem's parents face in The Misadventures of Salem Hyde: Spelling Trouble by Frank Cammuso.
When Salem's spelling skills are questioned by a fellow student studying for the school's spelling bee, she sets off to prove that she is a great speller. However, instead of spelling the word "dinosaur," Salem turns Mrs. Fossil into a dinosaur. No one is supposed to know that Salem is a witch, and this mistake almost causes her to be expelled from school. What Salem needs is an animal companion, and Aunt Martha knows just the right one for the job: Lord Percival J. Whamsford, also known as Whammy, an 800-year-old talking cat who still has five of his nine lives left.
Will Whammy be able to instruct Salem in the fundamentals of being a witch? Can she really fly using a vacuum cleaner instead of the traditional witch's broom? What will happen when Salem's spell goes completely awry as she tries to ensure that she is crowned the new Miss Spelling Queen? And will all this be too much for Whammy to handle? Find out in the first installment of a delightful new graphic novel series. This fast-paced, humorous book is excellent for mid- to upper-elementary readers who will surely enjoy the simple green, black and white drawings reminiscent of Sunday morning comics.
On March 11, 1948, a fire raged through the main building of North Carolina's Highland Hospital, killing nine female patients trapped in a locked ward on the fourth floor. Victims included Zelda Fitzgerald, a dancer, artist and writer like her husband F. Scott Fitzgerald. Highland was a residential treatment facility for the mentally ill and considered quite progressive in its treatment methods. Author Lee Smith takes inspiration from the hospital, the tragic fire and Zelda Fitzgerald's own life in her newest book Guests on Earth.
Smith's narrator is 13-year-old New Orleans native Evalina Toussaint. Evalina refuses to eat after the death of her mother and is packed off to Highland for a cure. Now an orphan, the resort-like hospital becomes Evalina's home, and its caregivers and patients her family. Fresh air and exercise, music and art: Evalina thrives under the care of the enlightened psychiatrist Dr. Carroll and develops into a talented pianist. Swimming and songs aren't the only therapies employed at Highland, though, and as Smith reveals the darker secrets in the lives of Evalina, Zelda and other patients, she also explores the more invasive and seemingly barbaric treatments employed upon the mentally ill.
Smith, winner of the Southern Book Critics Circle Award, imbues her writing with the atmosphere of rural Appalachia. She draws upon both the folklore of the mountains as well as the culture of southern high society in creating compelling characters and an absorbing story. F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote "the insane are always mere guests on earth, eternal strangers carrying around broken decalogues that they cannot read." Guests on Earth allows a few of the guests to share their memorable tale.

Two outstanding new children's books are sure to delight young readers and are destined to achieve contemporary classic status. These novels capture the best of children's literature with appealing stories, engaging characters and unforgettable adventures.
Settle back and enjoy an old fashioned tall tale in the latest from Newbery Honor-winning author Kathi Appelt. The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp is a rollicking story told from the perspectives of human and animal residents of the Sugar Man Swamp. Rich in local color, with a quirky cast of characters, Appelt's masterful storytelling will immediately engage readers. Raccoon brothers Bingo and J'Miah, 12-year-old Chap Brayburn and the Sugar Man (who just might be a distant relative of Bigfoot!) join forces to prevent the development of the swamp by greedy bad guys. The short chapters create a sense of urgency and add to the fast-paced storytelling while lessons about conservation and development are delivered gently. This entertaining story is perfect for reading aloud as demonstrated by Lyle Lovett, whose impeccable narration on the audio edition is unforgettable.
The Doll Bones by Holly Black wraps themes of friendship, storytelling and growing up in a deliciously spooky quest story. For years, Zach, Poppy and Alice have played an intricate game involving pirates, mermaids and warriors in an imaginary land ruled by the Great Queen — a bone-china doll who resides in Poppy's family china cabinet. But Zach's dad thinks a 12-year-old boy should only be playing sports and forces Zach to quit the game. Then Poppy removes the Great Queen from the cabinet and unleashes the ghost of a girl named Eleanor whose ashes were used to make the doll. Eleanor's ghost demands a proper burial for the doll, and Poppy convinces the others to help execute this request. The three embark on an epic journey and must face percolating issues, including conflicts at home and their own changing relationships, all while dodging danger and staving off the supernatural. Thrills and chills enough to satisfy any scary movie fan!

Unbeatable Fiesta tops 2012 sales charts
The manufacturer's small car sold 109,256 units last year, compared to the Vauxhall Corsa in second place with 89,434 units and the Ford Focus in third position with 83,115.
The remaining top ten includes the Vauxhall Astra, VW Golf, Nissan Qashqai, BMW 3-Series, VW Polo, Mercedes C-Class and BMW 1-Series.
New figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders show that UK new car registrations rose 5.3 per cent in 2012 to 2,044,609 the highest annual volume since 2008 and the largest percentage increase since 2001.
However, the new car market was still 14.9 per cent below 2007, pre-recession, when 2.4m units were sold.
Carmakers that increased sales dramatically in 2012 include Chrysler with a 182 per cent rise from 1,182 units in 2011 to 3,333 last year and SsangYong which rose by 351 per cent from 194 vehicles to 875.
Faring less well was Alfa Romeo which dropped by 37 per cent in 2012 from 11,563 in the previous year to 7,253 while Renault fell by 40 per cent from 68,449 cars in 2011 to 40,760 in 2012 – an unsurprising figure, considering the French brand pulled a number of its models including the Laguna from the UK market last year.
"More than two million new cars were registered in the UK during 2012, up 5.3 per cent on the previous 12 months and the best result since recession struck in 2008," said Paul Everitt, SMMT chief executive.
"Boosted by strong consumer demand, the market grew at its fastest rate for 11 years with innovative, fuel-efficient cars keeping buyers in showrooms. Looking ahead to 2013, we anticipate the market will hold firm, with manufacturers and dealers working hard to deliver quality and value to motorists."

Document Number: 11323Making School Choice Work - A majority of parents now send their child to a public school that is not assigned to them based on their residence, whether they choose a traditional school in another neighborhood, a charter school, or a school in a nearby district. However, many parents - especially the most disadvantaged - still face significant barriers to choosing a school that best fits their children: inadequate information, lack of transportation and uneven school quality. (Michael DeArmond, Ashley Joachim and Robin Lake, Center on Reinventing Public Education, July 2014)...

Schumer, Arizona Immigration Law Author Face Off on the Hill
The senator announced a "contingency plan" if the Supreme Court upholds SB 1070 with a bill to tie the hands of states and localities in enforcement.
April 24, 2012 - 9:43 am
He expressed confidence that precedent showed the Supreme Court would uphold the law. "Last time I was in Washington, the Supreme Court upheld e-Verify despite unpatriotic challenges of the Chamber and the Obama administration," he said, adding that the federal government tolerates "sanctuary" programs that are illegal and instead "chooses to sue Arizona for enforcing the law."
"SB 1070 has clearly worked," Pearce said.
Dennis W. DeConcini, a former Democratic U.S. senator from Arizona, called the law "mean-spirited" and "divisive," charging it "targets those with brown skin."
"We have unduly harmed our legal Latino residents in this process," he told Schumer and Durbin. "Whenever you mix politics and law enforcement, you create a toxic environment and that's what has happened in my home state."
"I'm embarrassed for my state," DeConcini added. "I apologize for our actions against our Latino community."
"According to experts, this law encourages racial profiling," Durbin said.
Pearce countered that "illegal is a crime, not a race," and that the majority of illegal immigrants just happen to come across the southern border.
"It's simply the rule of law," he said. "Laws without consequences are not laws at all," and SB 1070 forbids racial profiling, he added.
"I find it very demeaning to law enforcement that we would assume those kinds of things go on," Pearce continued. "…You have to respond to reasonable suspicion to do your job."
"Why didn't you just say that everyone who was stopped by police had to be checked for immigration status?" Schumer asked. "Doesn't the way you wrote the law [invite] racial profiling?"
"Just the opposite, Chairman," Pearce responded, noting that the bill was written "to preempt silly questions." This includes the acceptance of any driver's license from a state that requires proof of citizenship to be accepted as legitimate ID with no further questions.
"No matter what we do, we're attacked for trying to enforce the law," Pearce lamented, adding that the law "was based on reasonableness."
"I guess many would disagree with that," Schumer quipped.
Gallardo called SB 1070 "the worst piece of legislation ever passed in the state of Arizona" and said there is no way to get around racial profiling in enforcement.
"It's not by clothing, it's by the color of their skin," he said. "End of discussion."
Schumer's opening statement today also tried to pitt presidential candidate with the man he might pick to round out the Republican ticket.
"The wisdom of the Arizona law is also currently being debated around the country. For instance, SB 1070 has recently been endorsed as a model for the country by Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for president," he said. "Others such as Marco Rubio have said they do not believe the Arizona law should be expanded nationwide."
Schumer said that if the Supreme Court upholds SB 1070 and he moves to the "contingency plan" legislation, "I hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will join me in this effort in the event it becomes necessary."
Pearce, meanwhile, was headed to the other side of the Capitol to back another piece of legislation.
The author of SB 1070 was to join Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), vice chairman of the House Subcommittee on Immigration, at a press conference this afternoon to talk about the case. King, who will be at the Supreme Court tomorrow, has introduced the New IDEA Act, which would make wages and benefits paid to illegal immigrants nondeductible for federal tax purposes and make e-Verify permanent.
The Supreme Court's ruling is expected this summer. Schumer's legislative effort would likely die in the House, but would become a flammable issue on the campaign trail.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Starbucks and La Boulange. Timberlake and Fallon. Gosh, I love a good collaboration. After all, when two already awesome entities team up, the result promises to be pretty stupendous indeed. So it's no surprise that the new Minted for West Elm collection has landed at the top of my wishlist for home!
I have long adored the Minted approach to community-sourced design; and the warm, modern vibe of West Elm sits right in my aesthetic wheelhouse. Combine the two and you find yourself with 25 unique art prints selected from over 1,400 submissions. Last night I attended the launch party for the collaboration and met some of the featured artists. Their joy was infectious when they talked about the thrill of seeing their work available to the public at a major retailer.
I have my favorites, of course: I'm smitten by the sophisticated hues and dramatic mood of this watercolor, and I can't resist the of the shaggy, frowsy faces of those cows. But whether you're into color or neutrals, abstraction or realism, the collection offers a little something for everyone. Oh, and they arrive ready to hang in a clean white frame. I love a good collaboration, don't you?

A to our neighborhood folks who, along with Black Bear Pizza of South Asheville, brought custom pizzas, cookies, drinks and fixin's to our local Skyland Fire Department, Bishop Station location in memory of 9/11. As they each work a three-man shift on three different days, we did it on 9/11, 9/12 and 9/13. A sense of community is important not only among the homeowners, but also those who serve and the local businesses we support and love. I would give this community experience and A+ from start to finish, hands down.

A to Barbara Blake and others on the Citizen-Times staff for their pre-show coverage of the Asheville Quilt Show held last weekend at the WNC Ag Center. Traditional quilts, art quilts, whimsical pieces and "cause" pieces were all on view thanks to the work of the all-volunteer group. The guild is best-known in the nonprofit segment of the community for its generous utilitarian donations: for Alzheimer's patients or to cheer the rooms of those in hospice care, to bring smiles to the faces of children with serious illnesses, to cover isolettes in the neonatal intensive care unit at Mission, to residents of new Habitat homes, for example -- more than 500 donations last year. But the show brought recognition that there is also time for creative craftsmanship by fine quilters both in North Carolina and in 11 other states whose residents sent show entries. This is an annual late September show to put on the calendar.

A to North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association High Five Grant winners Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue of Marshall and Community Partnership for Pets in Flat Rock. The High Five Grant Program, which offers five awards statewide, was established to assist qualified organizations that promote community service as well as compassion and health for the people and animals in North Carolina. Winners of the program each receive $5,000 from the NCVMA and have the opportunity to apply for an additional $5,000 per year through 2015.Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue provides knowledge and training targeted to firefighters, EMS, law enforcement, veterinarians, livestock transporters, etc., for large animal rescue. Community Partnership for Pets' mission is to enrich and extend the lives of animals in Henderson County and surrounding communities by insisting that pet owners have their pets spayed or neutered, promoting adoption from local shelters and encouraging people to get involved in their communities to support local shelters. For more information, visit www.communitypartnershipforpets.org/ To learn more about NCVMA, visit www.ncvma.org/, or call 800-446-2862 or 919-851-5850.
A to the participants in Saturday's Big Sweep here in Buncombe County and across the state. More than 100 people in Buncombe County hauled trash out of the French Broad River and its tributaries. Statewide in 2011, more than 16,000 volunteers collected 193 tons of debris, according to the group. Eric Bradford, volunteer and clean communities coordinator with Asheville GreenWorks, said during last year's Big Sweep volunteers pulled 198 tires and 6,800 pounds of trash from a five-mile section of the French Broad.
I for incomplete to the Supreme Court's current term, which began Monday. The court has a slew of hot-button issues to address, including cases involving gay marriage, whether American courts can be used by foreign victims to sue over human rights abuse cases that occurred abroad - the court took up Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum on Monday, in which Shell oil is targeted in abuses conducted by the Nigerian government - and a case involving a key provision of the Voting Rights Act.
F to Strategic Allied Consulting, a group working for the Republican National Committee and in several states, including North Carolina, to register new voters. The firm was fired by the NRC and several states, including North Carolina, after more than 100 questionable registration forms were revealed in Florida to have discrepancies including similar signatures and handwriting. The state GOP sensibly dropped the firm like a hot potato; as of this writing the state was still mulling an investigation.
A to the U.S. House of Representatives for not only actually getting something done, but getting it right. On Friday the House OK'd the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act, designed to strengthen protections for federal employees reporting waste, fraud and abuse, in part by filling in loopholes that were the result of court interpretations of previous whistleblower legislation. The bipartisan measure is expected to be acted on by the Senate next month.

This paper presents two new models of portfolio default loss that extend the standard Gaussian copula model yet preserve tractability and computational efficiency. In one extension, we randomize recovery rates, explicitly allowing for the empirically well-established effect of inverse correlation between recovery rates and default frequencies.

James Cotton's 80th
Happy Birthday to the Blues Harp Master
Few harmonica players announce themselves by tone alone quite like James Cotton. The great bluesman, born 80 years ago today in Tunica, Mississippi, has a huge, vibrato-laden sound that's instantly recognizable, and while he's influenced many harp players, no one else sounds like him.
Gunther Schuller, R.I.P., 1925-2015
Gunther Schuller died on Sunday, June 21, in Boston. He was 89. Schuller was a Renaissance man of the Space Age. He began playing French horn with the New York Philharmonic when he was 16, became principal horn of the Cincinnati Symphony at 17, and for the better part of the next 75 years excelled at more endeavors than virtually anyone else in modern music.

Bob Belden and Gary Smulyan
Bob Belden, who died on May 20 (click here for the New York Times obituary), worked in a wide variety of settings as a saxophonist, arranger, producer, and a&r executive over the course of his 35 year-long career. His orchestral work, Black Dahlia, earned him a Grammy, and as a producer he oversaw the reissue of many of Miles Davis's recordings of the '60s and '70s.

Jordi Colomer
In the Anarchitekton hotographs, Barcelona-based artist Jordi Colomer shows characters carrying cardboard architecture models, exact replicas of the buildings, in front of which they are moving around. I particularly like the on in Barcelona, This way he simultaneously denounces the reality of these constructions and celebrates the utopia that they once upheld.
Jordi Colomer, Anarchitekton Brasilia, 2004

Colomer, together with Francis Alÿs, Pedro Cabrita Reis, Marcelo Cidade, and Anita Molinero, is part of Modern©ité , an exhibition that presents poetic and critical views of the modern urban environment. Focal point is the issue on how the ideological foundation of modernist architecture and city planning can be reconciled with the elusive character of a constantly changing society.

considering abstraction in digital art?
I've been doing some research on related stuff recently and it's
beginning to lead into a kind of strange direction. What I'm going to
say is not about digital art in general but about Net-Art in general.
For a long time I've been touting the merits of the abstract and do
in fact feel that it's one of the most important moves in recent
art. So important that to simply abandon it as old fashioned would be
a shame. It's definitely important stuff. But as far as Net-Art is
concerned, it's hard to ignore the Pop-Artness of it. It uses
elements of mass culture and due it's (most often) screen-based
nature, it tends to have a graphic-design quality to it. On top of
that, it has one more very significant feature that Pop-Art didn't
have. Almost anyone can experience it in an environment of their own
Here's a good description of net art, it's: "popular, transient,
expendable, low-cost, mass-produced, young, witty, sexy, gimmicky,
glamorous, and Big Business"
Only, this list wasn't devised as a description of net art. It's
Richard Hamilton describing Pop-Art in the late 50's. Eery, eh?

experimental geography
how to interpret the world around us
The work of Trevor Pagen is tactical media, speculative non-fiction - an "experimental geography" - as he calls it, accompanied, of course by "experimental lectures". The online component of his work has a travel-logue quality, with interventions and alien inspired expeditions validated by documented, journalistic interviews. Pagen is a cross-disciplinary practitioner and tactitioner in writing, installation, photography, lectures, performances, interventions, and exhibitions. He appropriates technologies and practices and originates the necessary techniques. One such, "limit-telephotography", was developed for The Secret Bases project to examine the non-space of secret bases and their supposed non-existence.
In projects like Carceral Landscape the Prison Infiltration and Surveillance Suit was performance attire developed to enable covert videography for the project. Documentation is shown from these visits. Pagen co-opts the stealth technlogies to spy back on the spies and uncover the covert, which he weaves together in speculative, but plausible narratives to help us interpret the world around us.

Washington - PGA officials hope Tiger Woods will bounce back from a year of scandal and setbacks with a strong 2011 season and revive interest in himself and golf ahead of US tour television contract negotiations.
Woods endured a sex scandal and a winless 2010 campaign, falling from atop the world rankings as his marriage ended in an August divorce and his five-year golf reign ended when England's Lee Westwood took over three weeks ago.
US PGA television ratings are down ahead of planned 2011 talks on terms for the 2012-2016 seasons and having Woods in top form would help as networks and sponsors consider how much money to sink into the sport in the near future.
"The most dominating player in a sport in history, you want him playing because it makes a lot of things work a lot better," US PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said.
"And we want him playing. We want him playing well and given his intensity, we assume that will be the case."
Viewers beyond the typical golf crowd have tuned in to watch Woods win 71 titles, 11 shy of Sam Snead's all-time PGA record, and 14 major titles, four shy of matching golf's holy grail of records set by Jack Nicklaus.
The quest by Woods to overtake those marks would likely ensure strong interest from people who do not usually watch golf, providing Woods is able to bounce back and show some signs that he can simply win any sort of tournament.
Often winning by record-setting scores or margins, Woods lured viewers from beyond golf's usual crowd the way Mike Tyson brought people to boxing with fast knockouts in his prime.
Woods helped boost US PGA TV contracts, sponsorship and prize money and his first events back after scandal drew global attention, although the buzz faded during 2010 as Woods went winless, unable to duplicate past amazing shotmaking.
The fall from grace by Woods and a major economic downturn combined to hit the US PGA Tour like a tee shot into a water hazard.
Some rising stars in golf's new world order will not join the US PGA in 2011 as world number one Lee Westwood of England, third-ranked PGA Championship winner Martin Kaymer of Germany and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy will stay on the European Tour.
Sponsorships for some events became a struggle to secure. TV ratings fell and next year's schedule still has not been announced, two months after Finchem said it was coming soon.
According to The Golf Channel's website, ratings for its PGA Tour telecasts were down 26.7 percent from 2009 and 17.7 percent from 2008 with final-round ratings down even more.
Finchem sees the economy, not Woods, as the culprit in PGA setbacks and said he does not see Woods having an impact on TV negotiations.
"As long as the business model is working, I don't think so," Finchem said. "Tiger brings a lot of unique viewers to the telecast. Tiger doesn't generate the core audience that we have week in and week out.
"We have 47 tournaments. Tiger plays in 16. The economy is the problem, not Tiger."
One PGA growth area is global interest, with US events telecast in 30 languages to more than 225 nations.
"We are continuing to focus even more energy on growth in Asia and in Latin America and we see that continuing in the years to come," Finchem said.
Finchem noted that there has been only a minor drop in the number of US households exposed to PGA telecasts, 148 million excluding major tournaments, even with Woods missing the first three months of 2010.
"Having the No. 1 player out hurts... not just the weeks he plays but just bringing interest to the game," Finchem said.
"You would much rather be in a growth environment, no question about it, but given the circumstances, given the difficulties, given the cutbacks we've seen in other sports and given the fact that we're headed into television negotiations, we are cautiously optimistic."

that is the question!
I know you are not doctors, but I value your opinions. I meet with my NS tomorrow to discuss my discogram and CT results. Here are my CT results:
L4-5: a broad based 3mm disc protrusion is present, causing mild concavity of the ventral thecal sac. Borderline or mild lateral recess stenoses are present at the level of the proximal L5 roots bilaterally. There is laterilization to the right foraminal and extra foraminal regions, where protrusion measures 4 or 5mm. Diffuse right foraminal and extra foraminal annular fissuring is seen. there is mild right foraminal stenosis, with contact and possible flattening of the proximal exiting right L4 root.
L5-S1: mild right foraminal spondylosis seen. There is a broad-based 4mm disc protrusion laterilizing to the right foraminal region, with mild to moderate inferior right foraminal stenosis, but no displacement of the exiting right L5 root. Disc protrusion likely flattens the right S1 root in the lateral recess, but no frank lateral stenosis is seen.
My question to you is did you have fusion surgery and did it help? Are you better than before or worse? I really want to weigh all of my options before committing to surgery. Any insight you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

The true story of one family, caught between America's two biggest policy disasters: the war on terror and the response to Hurricane Katrina.
Abdulrahman and Kathy Zeitoun run a house-painting business in New Orleans. In August of 2005, as Hurricane Katrina approaches, Kathy evacuates with their four young children, leaving Zeitoun to watch over the business. In the days following the storm he travels the city by canoe, feeding abandoned animals and helping elderly neighbors. Then, on September 6th, police officers armed with M-16s arrest Zeitoun in his home. Told with eloquence and compassion, Zeitoun is a riveting account of one family's unthinkable struggle with forces beyond wind and water.
"Imagine Charles Dickens, his sentimentality in check but his journalistic eyes wide open, roaming New Orleans after it was buried by Hurricane Katrina....Eggers' tone is pitch-perfect — suspense blended with just enough information to stoke reader outrage and what is likely to be a typical response: How could this happen in America?...It's the stuff of great narrative nonfiction....Fifty years from now, when people want to know what happened to this once-great city during a shameful episode of our history, they will still be talking about a family named Zeitoun." Timothy Egan, The New York Times Book Review
"[A] heartfelt book, so fierce in its fury, so beautiful in its richly nuanced, compassionate telling of an American tragedy, and finally, so sweetly, stubbornly hopeful." The Times-Picayune
Zeitoun is a riveting, intimate, wide-scanning, disturbing, inspiring nonfiction account of a New Orleans married couple named Abdulrahman and Kathy Zeitoun who were dragged through their own special branch of Kafkaesque (for once the adjective is unavoidable) hell after Hurricane Katrina....[It's] unmistakably a narrative feat, slowly pulling the reader into the oncoming vortex without literary trickery or theatrical devices, reminiscent of Mailer's Executioner's Song but less craftily self-conscious in the exercise of its restraint. Humanistic, that is, in the highest, best, least boring sense of the word." James Wolcott, Vanity Fair
"A major achievement and [Eggers's] best book yet." The Miami Herald
"Zeitoun offers a transformative experience to anyone open to it, for the simple reasons that it is not heavy-handed propaganda, not eat-your-peas social analysis, but an adventure story, a tale of suffering and redemption, almost biblical in its simplicity, the trials of a good man who believes in God and happens to have a canoe. Anyone who cares about America, where it is going and where it almost went, before it caught itself, will want to read this thrilling, heartbreaking, wonderful book." Neil Steiberg, Chicago Sun-Times
"Which makes you angrier — the authorities' handling of Hurricane Katrina or the treatment of Arabs since Sept. 11, 2001? Can't make up your mind? Dave Eggers has the book for you....Zeitoun is a warm, exciting and entirely fresh way of experiencing Hurricane Katrina....Eggers makes this account completely new, and so infuriating I found myself panting with rage." Dan Baum, San Francisco Chronicle
"A masterpiece of compassionate reporting about a shameful time in our history." O, The Oprah Magazine
"Eggers's sympathy for Zeitoun is as plain and real as his style in telling the man's story. He doesn't try to dazzle with heartbreaking pirouettes of staggering prose; he simply lets the surreal and tragic facts speak for themselves. And what they say about one man and the city he loves and calls home is unshakably poignant — but not without hope." Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly
"Zeitoun is a story about the Bush administration's two most egregious policy disasters — the War on Terror and the response to Hurricane Katrina — as they collide with each other and come crashing down on one family. Eggers tells the story entirely from the perspective of Abdulrahman and Kathy Zeitoun, although he says he has vigorously double-checked the facts and removed any inaccuracies from their accounts. At first, as a reader, I felt some resistance to this tactic — could the Zeitouns possibly be as wholesome and all-American as Eggers depicts them? — but the sheer momentum, emotional force and imagistic power of the narrative finally sweep such objections away." Andrew O'Hehir, Salon
When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, Abdulrahman Zeitoun, a prosperous Syrian-American and father of four, chose to stay through the storm to protect his house and contracting business. In the days after the storm, he traveled the flooded streets in a secondhand canoe, passing on supplies and helping those he could. A week later, on September 6, 2005, Zeitoun abruptly disappeared. Eggers's riveting nonfiction book, three years in the making, explores Zeitoun's roots in Syria, his marriage to Kathy — an American who converted to Islam — and their children, and the surreal atmosphere (in New Orleans and the United States generally) in which what happened to Abdulrahman Zeitoun was possible. Like What Is the What, Zeitoun was written in close collaboration with its subjects and involved vast research — in this case, in the United States, Spain, and Syria.
About the Author
Dave Eggers is the author of six previous books, including You Shall Know Our Velocity, winner of the Independent Book Award, and What Is the What, a finalist for the 2006 National Book Critics Circle Award and winner of France's Prix Medici. That book, about Valentino Achak Deng, a survivor of the civil war in southern Sudan, gave birth to the Valentino Achak Deng Foundation, run by Mr. Deng and dedicated to building secondary schools in southern Sudan. Eggers is the founder and editor of McSweeney's, an independent publishing house based in San Francisco that produces books, an eponymous quarterly journal, a monthly magazine (The Believer), and Wholphin, a quarterly DVD of short films and documentaries. In 2002, with Nínive Calegari he co-founded 826 Valencia, a nonprofit writing and tutoring center for youth in the Mission District of San Francisco. Local communities have since opened sister 826 centers in Chicago, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Ann Arbor, Seattle, and Boston. In 2004, Eggers taught at the University of California–Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, and there, with Dr. Lola Vollen, he co-founded Voice of Witness, a series of books using oral history to illuminate human rights crises around the world. A native of Chicago, Eggers graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in journalism. He now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and two children.

- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (Severe cerebritis or diffuse alveolar hemorrhage)
- Cold Agglutinin Disease (life-threatening)
Category 3
Optimum role of apheresis therapy is not established. Decision making should be individualized.
Example: extracorporeal photopheresis for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis; plasma exchange in patients with sepsis and multiorgan failure.
Some diseases of Category 3:
- Aplastic Anemia
- Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia
- Paraneoplastic Neurologic Syndromes
- Erythrocytosis; Polycythemia Vera
- Hypertriglyceridemic Pancreatitis
