The Muscular Dystrophy Association has awarded 38 new grants totaling more than $12 million to fund research projects focused on its continuing mission to uncover the causes of, and develop therapies for, the more than 40 neuromuscular diseases in its program.
MDA's Board of Directors reviewed and approved the new grants based on recommendations from the Association's Scientific and Medical Advisory Committees, and the grants took effect Feb. 1.
Editor's note 2/2/12:This story was updated to reflect the availability of a podcast in which Stephen Tapscott is interviewed.
A little over a year ago, a team of researchers announced a crucial new finding that helped explain the molecular basis of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).
A January 2012 podcast from Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, explores the potential of a strategy called exon skipping as a treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
MDA has awarded $750,000 to Summit Corporation PLC for development and testing of SMT C1100, the company's experimental drug for treatment ofDuchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Summit is an Oxford, United Kingdom, drug discovery company.
The award was made through MDA's Venture Philanthropy (MVP) arm, a part of MDA's translational research program.
A December 2011 podcast from Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, explores how an inhibitor of a protein called NF-kappa B has been beneficial in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and is now being developed as a potential DMD treatment.
The podcast is part of a Nationwide Children's series called "This Month in Muscular Dystrophy."
The 8th International Myotonic Dystrophy Consortium Meeting (IDMC-8), was an exciting mix of the latest scientific developments and clinical research in types 1 and 2 myotonic dystrophy (MMD1 and MMD1, also known as DM1 and DM2).
As part of the upcoming International Myotonic Dystrophy Consortium (IDMC-8) in Clearwater, Fla., a session will be held Saturday, Dec. 3, 2011, to provide a research update for individuals and families affected by myotonic muscular dystrophy (MMD).
Two pharmaceutical companies recently announced they are expanding their development and testing of exon-skipping drugs for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
Researchers at five U.S. and one Canadian center are conducting a clinical trial of the medications coenzyme Q10 and lisinopril to determine their possible beneficial effects on heart function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) and five forms of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD).

Welcoming the Stranger on Passover
Now that Purim is over, the Jewish community is busily preparing for Passover. As a matter of fact, the Torah reading cycle and the various Sabbaths that anticipate Passover actually have us preparing for weeks – long before Purim even begins. And with the anticipation of Passover comes a proliferation of special seder events, such as the ubiquitous chocolate seder for kids, and, more significantly, the various women's seders that take place in communities across North America.
Passover is an excellent time to reach out and welcome the "stranger." It is part of the moral imperative of outreach in Judaism, which is especially poignant for Passover. It is on this holiday that we begin the seder by saying "Let all those who are hungry come and eat." This doesn't have to mean just hungry for food – it can also mean hungry for the richness of the Jewish community.
That is why it is important as we plan our home seders, particularly specially themed seders for women, that we make sure to include all of the women in our Jewish community. We need to extend a special invitation to those who are not Jewish but are living in our midst, raising Jewish children. While we welcome the "stranger," we should make sure they don't feel like a stranger. Rather we should let them know that they are indeed invited around the table.

On day three of the Delta Lloyd Regatta, Medemblik served up a fine winter's day of racing. Greeted to six degree temperatures that reached a balmy eight degrees including a cocktail of hail and rain. The breeze ranged from eight to fifteen over the course of the day with significant oscillations.
Brenda Bowskill (CAN) Laser Radial - 2013 Delta Lloyd Regatta
For the Radial team, a minor postponement allowed the Laser and Finn sailors to enjoy the worst of the weather and more variable conditions. The delay created a long day yet solid in many respects for the Radial team. A steady left trend in the breeze and pressure coming off the land made races 2 and 3 on the day somewhat of a drag race although opportunities did exist to make your moves.
In the first race for the Radials Brenda Bowskill lead the way rounding the top mark second after executing a flawless start and first leg. Brenda battled gamely with the regatta leaders over the course of the race and finished a solid sixth, 'one of her best executed races on the international stage' suggests coach Ken Dool. Ingrid Merry put together a solid day as well, after stumbling somewhat in the days first race she consistently battled in the top 10 over the course of race 2 and 3 building her confidence in the days conditions. Claire Merry also had her moments but unfortunately a pair of yellow flags put a damper on her day.
David Wright put up a good set of results with a 10, 2, 10 to spring up to 12th overall. With only the top six moving on to medal race day, there is still work to do tomorrow.
On the Finn course, PJ Postma (NED) continues to dominate the leaderboard while Canada's Greg Douglas slips back one spot to sixth with a 3,10,7 and remains in medal race contention. Martin Robitaille hangs in at ninth place despite a black flag on his last race. Coach Chris Cook expands on their progress here in Medemblik, 'so far the areas we have been addressing are showing on the course. We are all looking forward to showing the world the full strength of this team at the worlds in August. Until then, patience and perseverance from the Finn team continues.'
The battle continues tomorrow in the finals series with more solid wind forecast and continuing cool temperatures.

WATCH: Obama Meets the Village People in 'SNL' Gag
By: Brandon Voss
This past weekend's episode of Saturday Night Live may've featured musical performances by incredible gay allies Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, but the show was surprisingly light on gay gags — with one macho, macho exception.
Although there was no major LGBT representation like Adam Levine queening out or Kate McKinnon doing Jodie Foster, four male cast members spoofed the Village People in the opening sketch, which spoofed how government sequestration will impact ordinary working Americans.
Check out the — only mildly offensive? — sketch below featuring an effeminate sailor, cop, construction worker, and Native Americans. What, cowboys and leathermen won't be impacted by budget cuts too?

Isat on the moist grass as the rain was drizzling slightly. I pushed my onyx umbrella to the side of me and began to weep. I let out all the feelings I had held in, exploding faster than I ever had before. It seemed like the harder I cried the harder it rained. Until suddenly the rain was pounding on my skin while I sobbed, closed my eyes, and began to think.
I remembered everything. Everything he did for me and to me. There was not a minute I wish I could not erase. The way he was sweet to me when we first met. The way his lips felt when they brushed against mine during our first kiss. The way he promised he would never hurt me. The way he was such a liar. How could I ever forget the torture he put me through when he took away my sanity, my beautiful perception of the world, and my innocence? He took the world.
"Hey!" I heard a voice call.
I opened my eyes and saw that the sun had begun to peak through the trees and the rain started to ease up. I also saw a coming towards me in a hurry. I quickly rubbed my eyes then remembered I did not wear any makeup. He kneeled down and looked me in the eye.
"Are you okay?"
I nodded my head yes
"You sure?"
"Y-y-yeah," I began to shiver. He took the umbrella from my hands, placed it beside me and put the jacket that was on him gently around my shoulders. I kept my eyes glued to him, terrified, the entire time.
"I'm Oliver, are you positive you're okay?" I sniffled and did not know what to do. Up to that point, I had fooled everyone with my "I'm okay" persona. Up until then I had no problem lying about my feelings. My eyes welled up and I sniffled again. I stared at him blankly, trying to read him, was he just waiting for the right moment?
"Hello?" He waved a hand in front of my face and looked genuinely concerned. Oliver looked into my eyes and started to talk to me again. "Listen you're going to get really sick and your going to ruin your white dress if you stay here like this." I thought of how I could not wear white on my wedding day. I began to cry hysterically. He wrapped his arms around me and pushed my head onto his shoulder. At first, I wanted to resist but then I realized how nice it felt to finally have someone to cry in front of, even if they didn't know why I was crying.
"Thank you Oliver," I whispered while trying to take better, more even breaths. He stood up and held out a hand. After a few seconds of being unsure of whether or not it was time to stand back up again, I took his hand. He hoisted me to my feet and gave me a smile. By this time the sun was beaming.
That was the first time I got a good look at him. He had black hair to his ears at it was wavy from the rain. He was taller than I and he had a muscular build. Oliver had the most gorgeous big brown eyes. He was really good looking. He was dripping us though.
"Would you like to go get some coffee?" Oliver asked and smiled at me. I nodded yes. I got on my shoes and we headed out of the wooded area. The same wooded area that I had walked out a completely different person just three years earlier. I looked back as we were walking, the way I always did on my way out and I could picture every moment. A tear slid down my cheek. Then it happened, we stopped walking and my heart began to pound. Oliver turned to me and wiped my cheeks.
"Don't hurt me…" I whimpered. Oliver gave me a long stare then embraced me.
"I'm sorry, I should've stopped him." He whispered in my ear. I looked at him, eyes budging out of my head.
"How do you know?"
"I used to go to your school. One day I was taking pictures of the trees and the flowers starting to bloom and I saw you kiss him. I always liked you but I figured you were happy. I could never compete with him."
"But how do you know him…"
"I heard you scream at him to stop. I wanted to go save you but I couldn't I was frozen." He stopped and took a deep breath recollecting that horrible day. Then he began to smile, and I gave him a sick look. "No!" Oliver began. "The rape isn't funny at all. What I did to him after, now that's funny." He snickered slightly. "Let's just say there's a reason he doesn't play any sports, and there's a reason I got sent away." Then it clicked.
"You're the guy who he pressed charges against for assault. Why didn't you just tell them he R-raped me?"
"I was crazy for you; I wasn't going to put you through another thing you weren't ready for just to save myself some trouble. I thought you had been dealt enough for a lifetime. Besides, it's somewhat my fault." He looked down at the grass and sighed. I took his hand and bent under his face so our eyes met.
"It's not your fault. Thank you for being here."
"I come every year hoping to get the courage to just hold you and make things just okay, even if it's hard to forget." I gave Oliver a hug.
"Maybe I'm not the only one who needs to be held." We stood there holding each other and then, he kissed me. It was soft, sweet, but most important of all, it was right.
We left the wooded area and headed to get coffee together. The same wooded area that held my deepest secret. The same wooded area that set me free.

Jazz CD Reviews
Jeremy Pelt – The Talented Mr. Pelt – High Note
Published on January 17, 2011
Jeremy Pelt – The Talented Mr. Pelt – High Note HCD 7216, 52:29 ****:
(Jeremy Pelt, trumpet and Flugelhorn; J.D. Allen, tenor sax; Danny Grissett, piano; Dwayne Burno, bass; Gerald Cleaver, drums)
It was virtually the same time last year that we reviewed Jeremy Pelt's last High Note CD, Men of Honor. I remarked then that it was unique in this time period when jazz artists get together for one-off productions and then go their separate ways; that Jeremy Pelt has kept together his working band for some three years now. There is not a weak link in Jeremy's band. Plus, they just keep on getting tighter in their interplay. They swing hard, and they swagger in their arrangements. Pelt is at the peak of his powers with the power and range of Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard in their seminal years. The rest of the band is whip smart and eager to strut their talents.
"Pandora's Box" burns from the onset. Gerald Cleaver's cymbal work drives Pelt, and Grissett provides fills. J.D. Allen steps up and blows strong mid-range choruses till Grissett has his time center stage. We're off to a good start. "All My Thoughts of You" shows the lyrical side of the group as both Pelt and Allen blow sweetly with soft drum swirls by Cleaver. Rudy Van Gelder is on board with engineering, mixing, and mastering duties and the sound mix is, as expected, spot on. The woodiness of Burno's bass is captured and the miking of piano and drums is upfront and crystal clear without needing a expensive sound system to appreciate.
"Paradise Lost" written by Anthony Wonsey, is taken in waltz time and the ensemble playing strength of a well-oiled machine shows. Again Cleaver is the general keeping the troops focused, and Allen shows he can match Pelt in intensity. "When the Time is Right" follows and although the energy flow diminishes a bit, these pros do not simply go through the paces, they just glide along smoothly.
"In Love Again" is most known for its vocal version by Blossom Dearie. Here Jeremy's flugelhorn reinvigorates the tune with some introspective blowing from deep in his soul.
I dug the bass solo by Dwayne Burno on "Only". Burno also wrote the insightful liner notes for the CD as he explores in great detail the inspiration and techniques the band follows for each track. Dwayne's playing on this track provides the pulse that is heard in the center. Danny Grissett's contribution to "Only" is also very prominent as he adds a sheen that makes this track special.
Pelt's "David and Goliath" takes the CD out with intense interplay that is reminiscent of Miles, Wayne Shorter, and Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams in the mid-60s. Fast company certainly, but should the talented Mr. Pelt and his band continue on their voyage together, then they are heading in a complementary direction.
TrackList: Pandora's Box, All My Thoughts Are of You, Paradise Lost, When the Time is Right, Pulse, In Love Again, Only, David and Goliath

Neighbors' complaints lead to arrest of 2 on drug charges
Two men face felony charges of drug possession after being arrested by city police.
Community members' complaints of drug dealing in the Manitou Avenue area of the City of Poughkeepsie led to an investigation and the arrest of the pair Saturday, city police Sgt. George Camacho said.
Hassan W. Riddick, 39, of Albany was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class B felony, aggravated unlicensed vehicle operation, and possession of marijuana, police said.
Darrell W. Riddick, 52, of the Town of Poughkeepsie was charged with the same drug possession charge.
The police Neighborhood Recovery Unit found they had 370 glassine envelopes of heroin, police said.
Camacho said the pair possessed the heroin with the intent to sell it.
They were held at the city lockup pending arraignment in city court.
He said police want to hear from the community about drug dealing or suspicious activity in their neighborhoods and can call the Neighborhood Recovery Unit at 845-451-4060.
$20,000 grant to help ease flooding in Hyde Park
The Town of Hyde Park is getting $20,000 from the state to increase flood resilience in neighborhoods that have been repeatedly damaged by major flooding.
The grant from the state Department of Environmental Conservation will support an engineering study for stormwater retention and redirection at the Dinsmore Golf Course in Staatsburg, the DEC said in an announcement Tuesday.
In the Roosevelt Road neighborhood, the town will produce conceptual plans and cost estimates to determine the most effective way to mitigate flooding there.
The grant was one of 11 totaling more than $564,000 to fund projects that will contribute to watershed resiliency in the face of climate change within the Hudson River estuary.

The effect of glutamine therapy on outcomes in critically ill patients: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
1 Department of Critical Care Medicine, Zhong-Da Hospital, School of Medicine, Southeast University, 87 Dingjiaqiao Road, Nanjing 210009, P.R. China
2 Department of Critical Care Medicine, Su-Bei Hospital of Jiangsu Provience & Clinical Medical School, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou, Jiangsu, P.R. China
Critical Care 2014, 18:R8 doi:10.1186/cc13185Published: 9 January 2014
Glutamine supplementation is supposed to reduce mortality and nosocomial infections in critically ill patients. However, the recently published reducing deaths due to oxidative stress (REDOX) trials did not provide evidence supporting this. This study investigated the impact of glutamine-supplemented nutrition on the outcomes of critically ill patients using a meta-analysis.
We searched for and gathered data from the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, Elsevier, Web of Science and ClinicalTrials.gov databases reporting the effects of glutamine supplementation on outcomes in critically ill patients. We produced subgroup analyses of the trials according to specific patient populations, modes of nutrition and glutamine dosages.
Among 823 related articles, eighteen Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) met all inclusion criteria. Mortality events among 3,383 patients were reported in 17 RCTs. Mortality showed no significant difference between glutamine group and control group. In the high dosage subgroup (above 0.5 g/kg/d), the mortality rate in the glutamine group was significantly higher than that of the control group (relative risk (RR) 1.18; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.02 to 1.38; P = 0.03). In 15 trials, which included a total of 2,862 patients, glutamine supplementation reportedly affected the incidence of nosocomial infections in the critically ill patients observed. The incidence of nosocomial infections in the glutamine group was significantly lower than that of the control group (RR 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74 to 0.97; P = 0.02). In the surgical ICU subgroup, glutamine supplementation statistically reduced the rate of nosocomial infections (RR 0.70; 95% CI, 0.52 to 0.94; P = 0.04). In the parental nutrition subgroup, glutamine supplementation statistically reduced the rate of nosocomial infections (RR 0.83; 95% CI, 0.70 to 0.98; P = 0.03). The length of hospital stay was reported in 14 trials, in which a total of 2,777 patients were enrolled; however, the patient length of stay was not affected by glutamine supplementation.
Glutamine supplementation conferred no overall mortality and length of hospital stay benefit in critically ill patients. However, this therapy reduced nosocomial infections among critically ill patients, which differed according to patient populations, modes of nutrition and glutamine dosages.

Spending on search engine marketing is rising dramatically, yet surprisingly few companies are measuring the effectiveness of their campaigns.
In a short survey conducted by web analytics vendor NetIQ, more than 800 participants responded to questions about their search engine marketing efforts, and their attempts to measure success. The survey responses provide interesting insights into the state of search engine marketing ROI.
Some of the findings include:
- 77% of users surveyed are currently using or evaluating paid search strategies
- 41% are actively running paid search campaigns
- 31% of users don't measure their SEM activities at all
- Of the ones that do measure, 60% are only measuring basic click-through results and general traffic activity
- 27% are measuring through to conversion, but only 11% are conducting detailed ROI analysis looking at revenue by search phrase and lifetime value
"What surprised us was that people were doing search engine marketing but not measuring it," said Brent Hieggelke, Vice President of WebTrends Marketing for NetIQ. Hieggelke believes that many search marketers are still grappling with the basic challenges of understanding and implementing a search marketing campaign, and have not yet progressed to the next step of measuring whether the efforts are working or not.
The survey questions were embedded within a ten-minute Web presentation called Take 10 on Search Engine Marketing. Here are the actual results from the two questions.
How are you currently leveraging paid search campaigns?
- It's a significant part of our marketing mix 23%
- It's a small part of our marketing mix 18%
- Currently evaluating 35%
- Not at all 23%
- Total: 100%
How do you currently measure the results of your SEM campaigns?
- Not at all 31%
- Track click-through & general traffic 41%
- Measure web activity through to conversion 16%
- Detailed ROI analysis including lifetime value, revenue by phrase 11%
- Total: 100%
"It's showing that we're still squarely in the infancy of the market," said Hieggelke.

Dallas Cowboys defense has now allowed 20 passing plays of 20 or more yards in first five games
ARLINGTON – The Dallas Cowboys' 4-3 Tampa 2 defense is a bend-but-don't-break scheme that's designed to limit big plays. But that hasn't been the case this season.
Through five games, the Cowboys defense has now allowed 20 pass plays of 20 or more yards.
On Sunday, Denver quarterback Peyton Manning completed four passes of 20 or more yards and had three other completions for 19 yards each.
Cornerbacks Morris Claiborne and Brandon Carr were each beat once, and safety Barry Church appeared to be beaten twice on long pass plays.
The Cowboys' lack of pressure Sunday against Denver quarterback Peyton Manning didn't help their cause. The Cowboys never hit Manning.

SILVER CITY — 6th Street elementary in Silver City prepared its students for the holidays Friday with a visit from Santa and a message of kindness.
In the lower level area usually used as the elementary's art room, students were greeted with holiday cheer. As they entered, kids sat down in the front area — decorated with lights a tree, and ornaments they made themselves — for stories. Retired 6th Street first grade teacher Natalia Trujillo sat in a familiar sleigh and told the children the history of tinsel and other holiday stories as sat waiting to proceed one by one to the next room.
When they did, they were met with a "Merry Christmas!" from Santa who discussed holiday wishes and gave each student a brightly wrapped gift.
While the tone for most of the day was cheery, the day started with a message for the children. 6th Street began the morning with a moment of silence and 26 rings of a bell — one for each official victim of the school shooting in Newtown, Conn. According to 6th Street principal Lisa Ortega, the ceremony was to "celebrate and honor the lives of children everywhere at this hour of remembrance."
The school already had a "kindness wall", following Rachel's Challenge, an organization named for Rachel Scott, a victim in the 1999 Columbine High School shooting. The organization promotes messages of kindness and compassion in schools across the country.

November 27, 2015
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - It was the black smoke and the sound of screams that sent Michael Marinari running to his neighbor's house on Katie Court, on Saturday.
"I was a former Marine," he said, "I respond to emergencies."
Although this one was in his own neighborhood.
"It was a heck of a way to get introduced to all of my neighbors," Marinari continued.
That's because his neighbor, a woman whom he'd never met, would soon become this former Marine's mission.
"I was soaking my nails in some acetone, I was going to get my nails done. I had forgotten I normally light a candle to mask the smell. I took my fingers out, lit the match and my finger nails caught on fire," recalled Carla Caldwell, "I was trying to put it out myself, realized that I couldn't, ran out the front door and screamed for help."
The flames spread quickly but Marinari didn't hesitate to act, "Instantly, it was all about helping somebody."
"He did a good job, I mean, I've never seen someone hook up a hose as fast as he did," boasted Caldwell.
Caldwell said she tried to go back into her home to grab her phone and daughter's car keys but the smoke was too thick and turned back.
The fire destroyed the bed room, the living room, and the kitchen. Yet it was the quick response by Marinari, and another neighbor, an off-duty fire fighter, that likely saved the rest of the house, much of the Caldwell's keepsakes, and likely Carla Caldwell's life.
"He's the best!" grinned Caldwell.
Caldwell had to be treated for burns to her hand.

Ink-Saving Fonts You Don't Want to Miss
Everywhere we look we see "green" products: appliances that use less energy, clothing and recycling that are made from recycled goods, cleaners and household products made without chemicals. Green is also the new color of technology. Computers have power-saving modes that conserve energy, printers have draft modes which use less ink, and many ink cartridges and paper options are eco-friendly. Printing is an area that costs businesses more than money; it takes up valuable resources. There are many ways to cut down and reduce waste associated with printing, and your font selection could be a big part of that.
A sign that many businesses are starting to post around their printers and copiers is, "Think before you print." Before you print those emails that just become forgotten in a file or you print a copy of your office memo, think about alternatives. Can you email memos and announcements? Can you store files electronically? Can you have documents signed electronically? Do you really need to print out directions or can you enter them into your phone, GPS, or even just write them on a scrap of paper? Can you print just a section of a document instead of the whole thing? All of these questions are important, as is just taking a few seconds to think before hitting the print button.
You may also think about which font you are printing your documents in. Unless you are required to print in a certain font, consider using Century Gothic. Different fonts use varying amounts of ink based on how thick or decorative the font is. For instance, Franklin Gothic Medium and Heavy are both very thick, dense fonts. In fact, a page printed in Franklin Gothic Medium has 5.5 percent ink coverage. Arial, which is most often used, has 4.97 percent ink coverage. Switching to Century Gothic will save ink: this font has only 3.45 percent ink coverage.
The different between 5.5 and 3.45 percent may not sound substantial, but over the course of thousands of pages, it quickly adds up to significant ink savings. And significant ink savings translate directly into savings to your budget. The thinner, more basic fonts are more cost- and eco-friendly.
Dutch company, Spranq, has developed Ecofont, an eco-friendly font based on the more standard, Verdana. The Ecofont website proudly tells visitors, "After Dutch holey cheese, there is now a Dutch font with holes as well." The creators wondered how much of a letter they could remove and still have it be legible and clear. They developed the font using small circles. When the font is blown up, you can clearly see the "holey" cheese effect. When it is printed in smaller font, ideally size 9 or 10, it is a fine font to use and the circles are barely discernible. If you weren't looking for them, chances are you would not notice at all.
Ecofont uses up to twenty percent less ink to print than standard fonts, which can be a considerable savings. You can download Ecofont for free from the website. Test it out; it is certainly ideal for day to day printing, even if you decide on another font for professional pieces.

in response to ejpeg
Hi there ejpeg!
It sounds like your issue will need to be addressed by uninstalling and reinstalling the iMovie application in order to reload those templets. We have an article that can help you uninstall and reinstall that application properly, and it can be found right here:
OS X Lion: How to remove Mac App Store apps that appear in Launchpad
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
ejpeg Jun 5, 2013 5:22 PM
Re: Black Squares in iMovie themes in response to braden85
Thnx for your suggestion Braden!
Unfortunately this didn't do the trick.
The app isn't bought via the App Store so I couldn't temove it via LaunchPad. I used App Zapper to delete it and then used the iLife '11 DVD to install iMovie alone.
Then I upgraded to 9.0.9 but to no avail. It keeps showing the black bar.
Here's how the Theme looks on my iMac (in iMovie > Resources).
And in Quartz Composer Visualizer
No black bars…
When I look up this file in iMovie > Rescources on my MBP it looks like the above, but with the black squares as the pic in my first post.
ejpeg Oct 23, 2013 5:55 PM
Re: Black Squares in iMovie themes in response to ejpeg
Updating to the just released iMovie (10.0) solved it. Still weird.

Rose Luardo and Andrew Jeffrey Wright want you to laugh at their art. They're an artist duo and the creators of Comedy Dreamz, a late-night comedy show that features the pair's off-beat routine spliced between conventional stand-up acts, projected video art and short skits. Checking convention at the door by tossing out the man-stool-mic combo of traditional comedy, Dreamz amps up the visual drama with a sultry troupe of fly-girl dancers.
"Andrew and I really liked comedy and we really liked doing stand-up but our approach to it is probably different from most comedy you see," says Luardo, who collaborated with Wright for two years. "If you were asking me six months ago if it was different, I would have said 'No, we're just like everybody else.'" But now that Dreamz has really come into its own, the pair has had some mainstream comedians weigh in. What they say is that Dreamz is distinctly arty: "They'll say, 'this is strange,' 'this isn't normal,' or 'this is sort of like meta-comedy,'" Luardo says.
Maybe it's the experimental videos (January's Dreamz featured the world premiere of Thom Lessner's and Ted Passon's new random but awesome music video for the Darkness), or maybe it's the dancers' unitards that make Dreamz different. More likely, though, it's due to Luardo and Wright. In January's show, they turned out quirky physical comedy about manic drum-circle dancing, compulsive pocket hoarding and unpredictable personality disorders that took them off stage and into the audience. A video called "Soft Circles" cast Luardo and Wright as gyrating leatherheads, performing a ludicrous dance around the city. A promo video features Wright promising us "comedy so funny that it will melt your brain out into your socks, then it will melt your socks off, so you're brain's just lying there naked on the floor." True to his word, one sketch ended with Wright's pants around his ankles and the audience beside themselves.
In fact, whatever "meta" commentary may float above your head, Dreamz keeps your mind anchored firmly in the gutter (where—let's face it—everything is a lot funnier). The comedians at the January show were uniformly solid and sometimes filthy-mouthed. Often, they were also already well-established in Philly. Shawn Kilroy joked about threesomes and pregnancy; Steve Miller-Miller quipped about butt sex and handjobs for Jesus; and David Agyekum complained about virginity and the taking thereof. Doogie Horner took the high road and crooned us an Irish ballad.
Despite the diversity of their subject matter, the comedians were a united front when it came to lampooning the audience. Among the crowd, plaid and bow ties abounded; granny glasses dwarfed faces that did not belong to the elderly; at least a few headbands were paired with a few ponchos. When comedian Carolyn Busa said she was a vegetarian the crowd applauded and when Horner said he'd gone to art school, he added, "Although I pretty much assume that everyone here also did that." Putting a finer point on the Bohemian nature of the audience, Kilroy observed: "You people all look like you work at a thrift store for children." The audience screeched with delight.
Despite the strong showing of the artistically inclined, Dreamz is no inside joke. It's a show that anyone with an eclectic sense of humor can enjoy. "Andrew and I have a background in art but you know, art is funny," Luardo says. And what's more liberating than a free pass for laughing at art's most esoteric postures? While not strictly free, Dreamz delivers art with a punch line and stand-up with a self-reflexivity twist for just $5. "Funny is funny," said Luardo right before she hopped on stage to join Wright for another evening in Dreamzland. "I think I'll just leave it at that."

Trade Raycroft!
In my opinion I think JFJ should trade Andrew Raycroft. He's not set to be a number 1 goalie. He's too leisurely in net. I think a good trade would be Raycroft for goaltender Ray Emery and maybe a number 2 or 3 draft pick. I hate the Senators just as much as the next Leaf fan, but emery is only getting better. I also think he can carry a team in the playoffs.
I know i will get bashed for this, however its quite true and you all know it. Think of it this way, at least i don't want to see Steen go.

Gareth Hoskins set up his own practice in 1998 after spending six years as an associate at Penoyre & Prasad. His Glasgow-based practice now employs more than 20 staff and specialises in cultural and community buildings. Key projects include the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Interpretation Centre at The Lighthouse in Glasgow, the V&A and RIBA Architecture Gallery in London, the masterplan for the Royal Museum in Edinburgh and the visitor and interpretation centre for the National Trust for Scotland at Culloden battlefield.
A line has been drawn around a very beautiful fragment of the west of Scotland. Within this virtual boundary, all land, building and human activity is subject to the scrutiny, guidance and influence of the National Park Authority. The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park is centred on the mountain-framed fresh-water expanse of Loch Lomond, with the romantic birch and heather complexity of Sir Walter Scott's Trossachs to the east and the rugged mountain and sea loch Arrochar territories to the west. The small resort town of Balloch is situated on the southern shores of the loch, the southern end of which marks the transition from the Lowlands to the Highlands. Balloch, or Bealach in Gaelic, means a pass or road.
Robin House is the second CHAS (Children's Hospice Association Scotland) hospice for terminally ill children in Scotland. The first, Rachel House, is situated in the gardens of Kinross House on the east coast. Robin House and Rachel House offer periods of respite for the children and their families.
CHAS exists thanks to the efforts of individuals through personal enlightenment, experience and endeavour. In a world of commercially driven procurement, analysis is synthesised directly into a building. A clinical plan is wrapped in an economic, anodyne envelope. The interior environment barely rises above a kind of consistent horizontal plane of mediocrity. Intuition, culture, empathy, love, fear, sensuousness; how do these sentiments enter into such a distant process? Like Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres, CHAS Hospices offer another attitude, pursued through individuals, who offer something more compassionate. Will this building, given its prominence and individuality, like a Maggie's Centre, attract sniping architectural criticism when all around lie the culs-de-sac of indifference?
It did not get off to a good start. The siting of this building within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park became a well-publicised planning issue, even dragging in the likes of patron Ewan McGregor to bolster the popular argument for the building.
The National Park Authority Planning and Development Control Committee recommended refusal, as the development on agricultural land was contrary to the Development Plan. The National Park Authority, however, was forced to bow to pressure from the public and politicians alike, who argued that a facility of this exceptional character defies planning sensitivities. Given the requirement for easy access and direct links to a local community, the site is not an obvious choice. CHAS relies a great deal on the support of the local population for volunteers. The sense of connection to a local community, unlike Kinross' Rachel House, is not obvious. The building is distant from the town of Balloch. The access is along a narrow farm road; the site has a considerable slope.
The views from the site, while pleasant, do not have the romantic drama or scale of the famous locations in the park.
Robin House is on the edge of all this drama. The hill farm site looks away from the park, to the south and a comfortable arable prospect. The building resists the slope by creating a series of terraces. This is not a natural pause in the landscape; there was considerable work to be done to enable the possibility of a reflective, restive place.
Although surprisingly large, the building hides its mass well, digging into the south-facing slope. Externally it is clad in cedar boarding and a light mauve render. The feel is light and accomplished. The detailing is assured, inventive and contemporary.
Hoskins stressed that the building should exude a sense of quirkiness and playfulness. The limited external palette helps pull the, at times unruly and exuberant, facades together.
Hoskins likens the arrival to that at a country house;
he refers to Lutyens at Grey Walls, East Lothian, as a source.
At Balloch the arrival is more direct, more modest and more appropriate. The site layout is less self-conscious than that of the master choreographer. Two wings describe and enclose two courtyards. The first, an external paved court, is overlooked by a wing of offices and by the service wing to the south. To the north of the entrance, court car parking is discreetly located in an extension of the terraced slopes. A central plan element connects the two parallel wings and separates the courts. This connection accommodates the entrance, reception, stair and lift with staff areas above. The cross plan is topped by unsettling complex curved roof forms that recall MacCormac Jamieson Prichard's Cable and Wireless building. Here they slip and play in a more capricious and humorous manner.
It is not the curved forms which disturb. That is a question of taste, although being a self-confessed orthogonalist I personally find the easy curved line difficult. It is the orientation of the wave form and the fact that the external promise of a dramatic internal space revealed on entering disappoints. The curved soffits are enjoyed only by staff in the upper-level meeting rooms and by all in the main lounge. Their conviviality is not apparent in the entrance hall. Beyond this, the second court is partially roofed over. This central space houses two conical elements, which contain play and sensory spaces. Circulation between the two wings is allowed to filter through this space.
The hospice caters for eight children at any one time, staying with their parents and siblings for three to 10 days, offering accommodation and facilities of the highest standard. Children and parents are given their own respective suites. The rooms are split into small runs to avoid a sense of institutional repetition. The plan carefully shifts and splits without losing a sense of orientation.
The interior environment mirrors the staff, who are relaxed and friendly, with not a starched uniform or name badge in sight. This building is about rest and respite, a home away from home. But a home like no other. The facilities are excellent and show how we might care if we put our minds to it. Circulation spaces are generous and light-filled. Timber finishes and refined detailing are consistent throughout.
The children's bedrooms are excellent; an exercise in the use of daylight, volume, articulation, colour and finishes. These rooms are worthy of a civilised healing environment. Although the rooms have en suite facilities, across the circulation spaces there are more-specialist facilities, including spa baths. Some of the children and young adults who use these facilities have not had a bath for years due to logistical difficulties; here the lifting equipment and access is first class.
The main lounge space, which breaks out onto a south-facing terrace, is open to the kitchen and dining areas.
A communal dining table occupies one elevation with everyone eating together. The curved roof forms are visible within these overlapping spaces and serve to break up the normal crush of the horizontal acoustic soffit. Although staff areas alone enjoy the curved roofs beyond the lounge, the extensive meeting and relaxing areas for carers are a civilised and appropriate provision.
The plan and layout deal sensitively with difficult aspects of the brief, including a bereavement suite and a quiet room. These spaces are treated as an integral part of the building and the inevitability of the life of the house. In Hoskins' hands they are given dignity, space and invention.There is, however, a hermetic feel to the centre. The play and sensory experiences are cut off from the outside, enclosed in colourful conical towers swimming within a pool of horizontal structural glazing. It is rather difficult to understand the distancing of the play activities from the outside.
In contrast, the fine hydrotherapy pool commands a minimally glazed climax to the southern wing. The watery space extends effortlessly into the landscape.
Overall, there is a sense of trying too hard to please.
This is understandable as the brief is very moving. The desire not to disappoint is intense. The proposed landscape and extensive tree belts will help. They have yet to establish any presence. A more intense connection with the outside will cause the building to touch and be absorbed by the landscape, to lose itself a little.
The bedrooms and the main lounge will come into a more direct contact with the source of real respite, the open land.
Robert Louis Stevenson knew of the high line, a quest for literature of the highest order. He also needed to earn a livelihood and did this through his entertaining novels. Hoskins also knows there is a high line but he is prepared to wait and take his public towards it, smiling. He talks of CHAS maybe being a little 'over embroidered'. I feel, at the risk of being accused of being the first sniper, that there is certainly truth in that, although I feel at times it may have more fundamental issues.
Just as Balloch represents the gateway from Lowland to Highland, a transition from a low to a high line, the interesting question is, does Robin House represent a move towards a high line?

Blazed and Confused in Las VegasMuseums | Rex | July 14, 2009 at 06:31
Rex Reviews
The kickoff show write my essay cheap of the Blazed and Confused tour in Las Vegas was a huge success and a lot of fun. The lineup was amazing and the artists performed way better than I was expecting.
I have seen Stephan Marley before at a festival but don"t really remember it, so it was basically like watching him for the first time again and he was very entertaining. He had a kid (son maybe) on stage the whole time dancing and waving around a Jamaican flag on a stick. The arena was fairly empty while he played (less than half full i would guess) so i felt kinda bad for him. The audience wasn"t very into his show; people were constantly shuffling around and trying to find seats or leaving to go get drinks. But his musical performance was great and he was probably the best opening band I"ve seen at a concert – albeit every band in this show would normally be a headliner.
Next Slightly Stoopid came on and they were my favorite show of the night. A very hard band to classify in a musical genre, I would call them a mix of reggae, ska, punk, and jam band with a heavy Sublime influence. A pretty big band, they have a lot of rarer instruments for a band including a trumpet, saxophone and bongos. They put on an amazing show opening with a jam session for a few minutes then moving into some of their more traditional songs, often allowing for guitar and brass solos. They engaged the crowd in their performance, getting everyone up to cheer and dance. They even had a reggae singer come out for a while and sing some of their popular reggae hits.
This leads me to some of my chief complaints about the event. While the sound wasn"t terrible, it was pretty bad. There were lousy acousitcs at the venue, so often you could hear an echo which interfered with the music. I could rarely understand what the singer was saying; it just sounded like noise over all the instruments, For a $60 ticket, I expect excellent if not perfect sound.
The other major problem was the heavy police presence. Slightly Stoopid was getting the crowed pumped up throughout the show and, before one of their smoking songs, told the audience to light it up if they got it – same with Snoop Dogg. I saw at least 4 or 5 groups of people being pulled out of the seats or escorted down the hallway by the police for smoking; even saw a fight breakout between the police and a man as mobile casino he tried to run away. I have no idea what happened to these people. I"m hoping they just got kicked out and not arrested or given a ticket, but i think buy generic cialis its completely outrageous for the police to to be grabbing people out of the crowd at a concert – period. Much less at one called Blazed and Confused.
The title makes it seem like your almost supposed to be smoking – and even the music and bands are encouraging it. But you"re going to have the police arresting people for it, it"s very hypocritical of the venue and Vegas promoters. Disappointing. Coming into the concert, there wasn"t even the normal pat down from security; they just ripped your ticket and you were inside. This contributed even more to the illusion that it was okay to bring in marijuana. While I"m not complaining at the no search – I think all concerts should have it – you shouldn"t not search people, then arrested them for contraband without giving people some kind of warning it"s just plain stupid.
Back to the concert. Slighty Stoopid played most of their hit songs, although I was disappointed that I didn"t get to hear my favorite song, but nbso they jammed plenty of other tunes to make me happy. Snoop Dog performed last, and by this time the venue was pretty packed; it seemed to me like most the audience was just there to see him. Very understandable as Snoop straight rocked the house!
It been a long time since i have seen a crowd so into a performer; he knew exactly how to get the crowd going, and keep em going, not just doing a musical act, but being a performance artist as well. He setup his songs nicely. He put on Jamie Foxx"s "Blame it," (which I think is extremely played out, but the ladies still seem to love it), and just danced around and got the crowd engaged. Everyone was standing in their seats dancing and singing along. When the song finished, he said, "Now I know what all you guys is drinking, how bout we pour me some of my favorite drink, you all know what that is!?" The whole crowd started shouting "Gin and Juice" "Gin and Juice" and he broke out into the song.
He did several songs like this, which was awesome for keeping the crowd on their feet and full into the moment. I personally am not a fan of Snoop"s newer work: I feel like he sold out in some respect and went way too mainstream. He only played 3 or 4 newer songs and the rest were classics. I have to give it to Snoop though. He is an amazing performer and it"s incredibly rare to see someone get the whole crowd involved and feeling the concert like he did.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the show. I do think the ticket prices were way too expensive, especially considering that some of the other destinations for the tour are around $40 for premium tickets instead of a $60 minimum. For the price I paid, I felt Ishould have been on the floor, not the side balcony. The sound was a bummer, but didn"t interfere with the overall sensationalism of the show. The police presence was overkill, but for the law-abiding attendees, it wasn"t a problem.
I would cautiously recommend this show as it was a very fun concert. But for the price tag, I would definitely consider how badly you want to see the bands in the lineup – big fans of Snoop and Slightly Stoopid would say the price was worth it. But I"d say skip this one, unless you are willing to pay anything to see them.

Molly Newland is a Madison County mother who found herself in the fight for her life.
With no family history of breast cancer, she learned at the age of 32 that she would battle the disease while experiencing the joy of becoming a mother.
The journey to become a family is different for everyone. For 35-year-old Molly Newland, hers was picture perfect until a day in 2009.
"I was at a M.O.P.S meeting and we had a speaker come and talk about doing self exams and the importance of doing those. I did one and I kind of felt a lump. I thought I will wait till the right time of the month to be doing one," said Molly Newland.
That time never came because Molly would learn she was pregnant with her third child, her joy of being a mom again was stilled by the reality she was facing breast cancer.
"A lot of times when younger people are diagnosed, it's later in the process and the staging of the cancer, that was kind of where we were at, we were expecting it to be really, really bad," said Newland.
Her scans revealed she had stage two breast cancer.
"Actually, she had a rather uncommon kind of breast cancer as well, no more that 10% of all breast cancer patients have," said Dr. Suleiman Massarweh, an oncologist at Markey Cancer Center in Lexington.
What Molly was facing was rare, in fact doctors at the Markey Cancer Center treat only four or five a year out of 300 breast cancer patients.
Molly was not only in the fight for her life, but her unborn baby's too.
Molly's plan of attack followed her pregnancy, surgery at 10 weeks and then at 16 weeks she started chemotherapy.
Molly documented her journey in pictures, from losing her hair to trips to chemo.
In the middle of her pregnancy, Molly turned 33 and her husband's gift to his wife was forming a Race for the Cure team for Susan G. Komen. It had three hundred some members.
On February 10th, 2010, Molly's world changed again when little Lucia came into the world.
"Lucia means light in the darkness," said Newland.
Lucia was welcomed home by her older sisters and to this day continues to be a bright spot in the family.
Life goes on, Molly is cancer free.
Her days now are filled taking care of her family and never once did she ever say why me?
"It was always why not me, God definitely led me down this path," said Newland.
It was a path this mother never bargained for, but one that led her to be not only a survivor, but the best mom she could be..
"I just hope I can give them love and be here a long time," said Newland.
A picture perfect ending to a journey this mother is glad to put behind her.
Molly's message to other mothers out there, do your self breast exams and make sure you get your routine checkups because early detection is key.

Change the All-Star Game
I'm not a fan of any All-Star game. The NFL's is a joke that happens after the season. They're changing that this year to the week before the SB. It will still be boring and useless. The NBA is a display of playground skills. The NHL's game looks nothing like the sport. Baseball's use to have some appeal, now it's useless. Interleague play has a lot to do with that. It's time for change.
The WBC this year has nearly ruined the regular season. The amount of injuries to key players and teams like the Mets who sent many players to that meaningless exhibition, has taken it's toll. Just ask Dice-K and Boston. Now in the middle of a rather boring season where the DL looks like an NFL police blotter, we will soon have the All-Star Classic. Classic? It hasn't been classic since the 70's!. It's time to tweak it or just eliminate it altogether.
How should we change it? How about a game between US players and the World? Canadians,Japanese, Venezuelans, Cubans, and Dominicans could unite forces against the US. This could be a fun concept and actually spur on some interest in the Caribbean and Asian world. It would be just one game, so it's winner take all. Is the US losing a grip on it's game? Can the World strike back? It could be a nice change.
Then there is the possibility of a mini WBC. A quick single elimination tournament between the US-Canada-Caribbean and Far East. You can flip a coin for seeding or simply go by the ratings world wide. The winners play of the first game play for the title and the others for 3rd. Get rid of the idiotic HR contest and other schlocky events. Real baseball with some bite.
I'm sure others can come up with good suggestions as well. I mean having this fiasco decide the league that gets home-field advantage is utterly moronic. Only an imbecile of Selgian proportions could have envisioned that. That doesn't give it an edge, that just makes it more of a joke. Make the game fun again.

Tuesday December 6, 2011Former Gator All-American Scott Dunlap Earns PGA Tour Card at Q-School
LaQuinta, Calif.
LaQuinta, Calif.
Former University of Florida All-American Scott Dunlap earned his PGA Tour card for the 2012 season on Monday by virtue of a t18 finish at Qualifying School.
Q-School, the six-day event which was held at PGA West on the Nicklaus Tournament and TPC Stadium courses, was played from Nov. 30-Dec. 5 and featured 172 golfers competing for PGA and Nationwide tour cards. The top-25 players and ties earned their PGA Tour cards at the conclusion of Mondays final round.
Dunlap, who donned the Orange and Blue from 1982-85, finished the six day tournament at -10 (422) good enough to make the Tour by two strokes.
The 1985 All-American sat just outside the top-25 entering the final day at t29 after five rounds in the low 70s but was able to put together an impressive final round 68 to get inside the top-25 and earn his tour card for 2012.
Dunlap, who helped the Gators to the 1985 SEC Championship during his senior campaign, has competed in 184 PGA Tour events during his career, making 96 cuts and earning 33 top-25 finishes.
The list of former Gators who have competed on Tour is an impressive one which includes: Camilo Villegas, Chris DiMarco, Brian Gay and Major Champions Andy North, Mark Calcavecchia and Tommy Aaron. For their careers, UF golf alumni have amassed over $130 million in earnings.
