|Flaming Lips Cast a Web on Spidey

|Wednesday, 25 April 2007 02:08
With Spider-Man 3 swinging into theaters on May 4, next week the soundtrack comes calling in a variety of packages. Featuring exclusive songs from Snow Patrol, Wolfmother, The Walkmen, and The Killers, the soundtrack includes a track from the Flaming Lips that has my mind salivating with possibility at the title "The Supreme Being Teaches Spider-Man How to Be in Love." A limited-edition eight-inch box set is made to resemble Spidey's rubberized suit, with a 32-page hardcover book, collectible cards, and one more Flaming Lips song, as the band rips through the "Theme from Spider-Man." Turntable spinners aren't left out, either, as a two-LP gatefold set and a series of four different picture discs are due from Record Collection Records. Spider-Man fever is also burning up Broadway, as Tony Award winner Julie Taymor (of Lion King fame) is working with Bono and The Edge of U2 on an upcoming live-theatre production.
Three new import-only CDs are heading for American shores this coming Tuesday, all worth looking for. Hot off the announcement of a re-formed Squeeze tour that kicks off at the end of July, Glenn Tilbrook is releasing The Past Has Been Bottled, a collection of 18 demos from the East Side Story album. Later this year, Tilbrook is joining a group of musicians, cancer survivors, and mountaineers to scale Mt. Everest and to lead an international concert series to benefit the Nepal Cancer Society, featuring members of The Alarm, The Stray Cats, English Beat, and The Cult. Concerts will take place in New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Wales, and at the base of the mountain in Kathmandu. Look for VH1 and the BBC to document and promote the event.
Midnight Oil is back with an Australia-only CD and DVD set, Best of Both Worlds on the Triple J Records imprint. The CD, Oils On the Water, captures the band on Goat Island in Sydney Harbour in 1985, while the DVD, Saturday Night at the Capitol, is from 1982.
Famed record producer Martin Hannett's work with Joy Division comes under a new light in Personal Mixes. Packed with outtakes and alternative mixes, these fly-on-the-wall selections reveal in-studio chatter between the producer and the band.
Television Alert:

Dear Pastor Slautterback: I recently came across an article in the York Daily Record that you and your church have decided to take action against a member of your congregation, Bobbie Pierce, because of his sexual orientation.
I must be frank with you when I say that I find your decision unfortunate and unsettling. Bobbie is a neighbor of mine, one who I have witnessed being verbally bullied before. Until this point, I never stood up for him, but I feel that there is no better opportunity for that than now.
Though I am a straight man, I cannot imagine being put in his position and being as courageous as he has been.
About a year ago, I had no idea where I stood on the matter of same-sex relations, religion and the political views that surround it all. That is until I was asked to do a case study on the landmark Supreme Court case U.S. v. Windsor. People who are gay do not choose to be that way, they do not choose to be the lepers and the outcasts that your organization and others make them out to be. In fact, gay people are no different than you or I other than the obvious facts. Did you ever think that we are different to them? Abnormal is only what you make it.
I understand what the Bible says, I believe every word of it, my faith in God is very strong, the strongest it has ever been.
However, God loves everyone, he does not turn anyone away. Though I do not believe that Bobbie is the sinner here. God teaches us to love the sinner. I completely understand your decision to "punish" Bobbie is a defining mark in your methodology in Christianity. 2 Corinthians 5:20 says, "So we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, 'Come back to God!'" Your decision of basically expelling Bobbie from the church because of his sexual orientation is a poor excuse for discipline. If your church says to the sinner to "come back to God," then what was he doing when he attended your worship sessions?
You and your church have a chance to stand the ground of a courageous man when the majority of the world hates gay people. You have a chance to stand for good conviction and help change the mindset of the world and turn away no person because of color, sexual orientation or socio-economic status. God would not turn him away, I'm asking you not to either.
— Cody Santiago, Mount Wolf, California University of Pennsylvania student

Water: Nonpoint Source Success Stories
Kansas: Eagle Creek
Collaborative Watershed Management Improves Dissolved Oxygen Levels in Creek
Waterbody ImprovedNonpoint source pollution from grazing land and cropland affected water quality in the Eagle Creek watershed, prompting the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) to add the stream to the state's 1998 Clean Water Act (CWA) section 303(d) list of impaired waters for low levels of dissolved oxygen (DO). The Coffey County Conservation District developed a Kansas Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) for Eagle Creek, which guided implementation of agricultural best management practices (BMPs) throughout the watershed. Stream monitoring data collected between 2000 and 2011 show that Eagle Creek now meets the DO criteria required to protect the aquatic life support designated use. As a result, KDHE has removed one segment in the Eagle Creek watershed from the state's 2012 list of impaired waters for the DO impairment.

Eagle Creek originates in southern Lyon County and flows into the western portion of Coffey County, in east-central Kansas. This relatively small watershed (113.6 square miles) empties into the Neosho River, which flows into the John Redmond Reservoir south of the city of Hartford and the Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge (Figure 1). Although grazing land/grassland is the predominant land use (63 percent of total) in the Eagle Creek watershed, cropland is commonly situated in bottom areas close to the stream.
To meet the state's water quality standard for supporting aquatic life, DO levels in surface waters must not fall below 5.0 milligrams per liter (mg/L). Monitoring data collected in the upper reaches of the watershed before 1998 included one DO sample that was below 5.0 mg/L. Pursuant to the state's standard, Eagle Creek was cited as impaired in 1998 on the Kansas CWA section 303(d) list for deficient DO levels. Data showed a second low-DO condition in 2001.
Kansas State University analyzed the Neosho headwaters and John Redmond Reservoir using a Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The results indicated that the watershed contributed excessive nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment to the reservoir, which serves as a regional water supply for Wolf Creek Nuclear Plant and drinking water supply for thousands of consumers. The SWAT model and local knowledge indicated that cropping in bottom lands and unconfined cattle operations were the primary contributors of nonpoint source pollution.
KDHE developed a total maximum daily load (TMDL) for Eagle Creek in 2003. The TMDL emphasized buffer establishment and stream restoration practices to address the DO impairment.
Project Highlights
In January 2004, KDHE used CWA section 319 funds to partner with the Coffey County Conservation District (CCCD) to develop and implement a watershed plan. Using the SWAT model results provided by Kansas State University, information from TMDLs and evaluation data from the federal Conservation Reserve Program, the CCCD identified Eagle Creek as a target watershed. Through a series of agency and town meetings, federal, state and local stakeholders formed a team to lead the watershed plan implementation effort.
A landowner, who later became an Eagle Creek WRAPS board member, allowed an Emporia State University team to monitor a segment where he had implemented a number of BMPs. He had installed a piped "filter" diversion, added critical area planting after removing a livestock wintering area adjacent to the stream, fenced a riparian area, and rotated crops with the beginning of no-till farming. His participation is thought to have informed other landowners and encouraged them to install BMPs (Figure 2).
Watershed landowners implemented numerous practices between 2004 and 2011, including 52.5 acres of critical area planting; 62.5 acres of filter strips; 23.6 acres of grassed waterways; 1874.3 acres of nutrient management planning; 7,045 acres of high-residue management using no-till, strip-till and/or direct seeding; and 1,018 acres of prescribed grazing. Other practices included 7,902 feet of diversion; 8,717 feet of fencing; 1,300 feet of pipeline for livestock water distribution; and 68,818 feet of terraces. Additional practices include eight ponds for livestock distribution and alternative water supplies, one underground outlet (for the diversion filter), two livestock waste systems and five waste storage facilities.
Before 2001 KDHE maintained a monitoring station in the upper reaches of Eagle Creek that was presumed to represent the entire stream segment of Eagle Creek from the headwaters to the stream's confluence with the Neosho River (approximately 32 stream miles). In 2002 KDHE moved the monitoring station farther downstream. Monitoring data collected in the lower reach since 2002 have shown that all DO samples have remained above the water quality standard of 5.0 mg/L since 2002 (Figure 3). As a result, KDHE removed the lower segment of Eagle Creek (approximately 9.4 miles)from the state's 2012 list of impaired waters for the DO impairment. In 2011 KDHE collected concurrent samples at the original upstream site that showed continued occasional low-DO conditions for the upper reaches. Therefore, Upper Eagle Creek will remain listed as impaired for low DO.
Partners and Funding
The success of this project can be attributed to a number of local, state and federal partners, including Lyon and Coffey County Conservation Districts and their respective Natural Resources Conservation Service offices; Kansas Forest Service; Kansas Department of Agriculture, Division of Conservation; Kansas State University; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7; Kansas Rural Center; Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks and local landowners. Project funding to date has included several EPA CWA section 319 grants, including a $5000 grant to develop the WRAPS plan and two grants ($40,000 and $74,020) to implement the plan. The project also received approximately $40,000 in Kansas State Water Plan Funds for implementation.

November 27, 2015
ATLANTA (AP) -- State labor officials say Georgia's jobless rate rose to 9.3 percent in July, which is up from 9 percent in June.
Georgia Labor Commissioner Mark Butler says a main reason for the increase is a large number of temporary layoffs in manufacturing. However, Butler says many of those workers who were laid off have already gone back to work.
The seasonally adjusted numbers were released early Thursday.
Labor officials say there were 56,540 first-time claims for unemployment insurance benefits in July, up 15.7 percent from June, with the temporary manufacturing layoffs accounting for most of that increase.
Georgia's labor force increased by 7,731 new jobseekers to 4,765,132 in July. That's up from 4,757,401 in June. Georgia's labor force has increased 14 of the past 15 months.

Galapo Playground
Joe Galapo Playground
This park honors Police Officer Joe Galapo (1958-1988), a Sheepshead Bay resident who was shot and killed on August 16, 1988 during an arrest attempt. Growing up in Cairo, Egypt and Paris, France, Galapo always dreamed of becoming a policeman. After his family settled in Brooklyn, he attended high school and then the Police Academy. He served on the force for five years, first in Coney Island's 60th Precinct and later in the Brooklyn South Narcotics Unit. Galapo's hard work and dedication during his short career earned him the posthumous rank of Detective.
At the time of his death, Galapo lived just a few blocks from this Sheepshead Bay playground, where his wife and three sons often spent sunny afternoons. A local law passed in 1989 named the playground, an appropriate tribute to a man who was dedicated to caring for both his own family and the community in which he lived. In addition to this park, the New York Police Department named a mounted division horse "Galapo" in his memory.
Because of its location, the park was formerly known as Bedford Neck Playground. "Bedford" could have either an English or Dutch colonial origin. Many colonial places were named for English nobility that had never even set foot on American soil. This area might be named after William, Fifth Earl and First Duke of Bedford, who lived from 1613-1700. The area could also be named for Bedfordshire, a county in England.
The City assigned this land to Parks in 1940, and the playground opened in 1941. Play equipment designed for both young and older children, benches, and a comfort station have made this park a family favorite. Joe Galapo Playground underwent a $66,731 renovation sponsored by Mayor Giuliani in 1997, when the play equipment with safety surfacing was added, the handball courts were restored, and the horticultural areas were replanted. These plantings complimented the London plane trees (Platanus x acerifolia) that have stood here for decades.

Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist was released Friday from National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. where he was treated for thyroid cancer.
Rehnquist, who's 80 years old, is expected to be back on the
bench Monday when the court returns from a two-week break.
As part of his cancer treatment, Rehnquist underwent a
tracheotomy Saturday.
There has been no word on just what kind of thyroid cancer
Rehnquist has, or how advanced it is, and officials haven't talked
about his prognosis.
Generally, thyroid cancer is treatable. But in older people it
can be more aggressive.

A malicious computer program hit more than 100 government offices around Kentucky in the last week, stopping the state from issuing driver's licenses amongst other state documents. Officials say the program hit computers in 77 county clerks' offices, 22 property valuation administrators' offices, some correctional facilities, and a few other agencies.

What's the Best Bed Base for a Memory Foam Mattress?
Having the right base for your memory foam mattress is essential. Not sure what the best bed frame or foundation is for your new Novosbed mattress? Read on to find out.
Foundations for Memory Foam Mattresses
Here are the best bases for memory foam mattresses:
- Standard Spring-free Foundation
Foundations look very similar to box springs, but they do not use springs in their construction. Instead, they use lightweight fiberboard for increased strength and support. Many also employ a 1/4" MDF (medium density fiberboard) layer on the top level for flat and even distribution of the mattress.
- Box spring
If you'd like to use your box spring, ensure it is strong and durable, and can provide evenly distributed support to keep the mattress level. Look for a 1/4" layer of perforated plywood covering the top level to add strength and support (the perforations must be present to provide adequate air circulation beneath the mattress).
Remember: Many people use box springs under their mattresses to add height and an extra bit of bounce. Though they seem like a great fit, not all box springs are designed to support memory foam mattresses. Keep the following in mind:
- Memory foam mattresses are heavier than regular foam or spring mattresses, and require a sturdy foundation that is capable of supporting a heavier load. For example: a Novosbed Classic Queen mattress weighs 89.8lbs. Added to this is your body weight (let's say, 160lbs per person, two people per bed). Altogether, that is 409.8lbs placed on top of a foundation.
- Unlike spring mattresses, which have internal structures, foam mattresses rely more on the support underneath to distribute their mass evenly. If your foundation has a slight sag in the middle, your mattress will dip into the sag, and will not have the support needed to provide the many benefits of memory foam to you.
Now that you have a good foundation in mind, it's time to choose a bed frame. With so many options out there, it's difficult to know what to choose. Read on for a few ideas to help.
Bed Frames for Memory Foam Mattresses
Many bed frames will support a memory foam mattress. Here are some ideas of what to look for — and what to avoid.
- Platform
Because they are flat, strong, and durable, platform beds are ideal for memory foam mattresses. Platform beds are often made with heavier materials, and incorporate a strong layer of plywood to keep the mattress level and supported. Platform beds work well both with and without a foundation, however if using a platform bed without a foundation, ensure that the surface is untreated and porous (see specifications in our warranty) to allow for proper ventilation beneath the mattress.
- Bed frame with slats
A more lightweight approach is using a bed frame with horizontally placed wooden slats. These are easy to assemble, and often stand slightly higher off the ground than a platform bed. If you choose to use a slatted bedframe without a foundation, make sure that the wooden slats are no more than 3 inches wide, spaced no more than 3 inches apart. This will ensure that your memory foam mattress is supported properly, and doesn't sink through the cracks.
- Metal bed frames
Most metal bed frames are designed to be used with a box spring or foundation, and a spring mattress. If you'd like to use a metal frame, make sure it provides enough support to hold a heavier memory foam mattress on top of a high quality box spring. For larger beds, such as Queen beds or King beds, consider adding a 5th leg to the frame to provide extra support.
The Bad and the Ugly
Here are a couple examples of what not to use with your memory foam mattress.

Wrestling icon Dan Gable said people are asking him for tickets for the 2013 NCAAs, but he is unable to help them.

Dan Gable's phone rings almost daily now with someone on the other end hoping the wrestling icon can solve what's turning into perhaps the greatest challenge in the sport at the moment - securing tickets to the NCAA Championships.
Just this week, three frantic fans dialed the wrestling icon looking for leads to get through the Wells Fargo Arena gates in March. But off-the-charts ticket demands outweigh a scarce supply, and even Iowa's governor of wrestling is feeling the pinch.
"Some of them aren't just (asking), 'Can I get a ticket?' They're (asking) 'Can I get 10 tickets?" Gable said. "I ...

No. 1 Virginia Holds Off Tech, 6-1
Freshman Dusan Miljevic picked up Tech's lone victory on the day
March 22, 2009
Freshman Dusan Miljevic picked up a win at No. 6 singles, but the Georgia Tech men's tennis team (6-8, 1-4 ACC) fell 6-1 to No. 1 Virginia (20-0, 5-0 ACC) Sunday afternoon in Charlottesville, Va.
"Credit goes to Virginia for playing a very good match," head coach Kenny Thorne said. "We played well in doubles and made every match competitive, but they came out in four of six singles matches and beat us up."
The top-ranked Cavaliers took a 1-0 lead early after sweeping all three positions in doubles play. The No. 4 duo of Barrick and Singh defeated Tech's Guillermo Gomez and Ryan Smith, 8-6, at the No. 1 position before No. 13 Inglot and Shabaz triumphed over Doug Kenny and Kevin King by a score of 8-5 at the No. 2. The closest doubles match of the day came at the No. 3 spot, as Eliot Potvin and Austin Roebuck battled to a seven to seven score, but eventually fell 9-7 in the end.
UVA extended its lead to 3-0 with singles wins at the No. 3 and No. 2 spot over Potvin and Miguel Muguruza in straight-sets. No. 23 Sanam Singh defeated Potvin 6-3, 6-1 before No. 18 Michael Shabaz downed Muguruza 6-2, 6-2.
Virginia's Drew Courtney would clinch the match for the Cavaliers soon after on court No. 5 with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Ryan Smith. Also having a tough match on the day was 12th-ranked Gomez, who fell to No. 15 Dominic Inglot, 6-3, 6-2 at the No. 1 spot to put the Jackets down 5-0. Inglot became of first Tech opponent to defeat Gomez in straight-sets the entire dual match season.
Miljevic earned Tech's lone victory at the No. 6 position with a 6-1, 6-2 win over UVA's Steven Eelkman Rooda.
In the final match of the day, King almost gave Tech another point in a battle with Virginia's Houston Barrick. King took the first set 6-3, before dropping the second 7-5. Playing the third as a 10-game super-set, Barrick came out on top with a tight 10-8 win.
"Our two freshmen played very well," Thorne added. Dusan won and Kevin battled before losing a tiebreaker in the third."
The Jackets return home to host No. 18 Wake Forest Friday, March 27, at 2:30 p.m. at the Bill Moore Tennis Center.

Q&A: Carl Blackwell, Discover Boating
By Jonathan Sweet
August 9, 2013
Filed under Features, Top Stories
Discover Boating recently released its mid-year marketing report, which showed strong results for the program.
This year, 500 million advertising impressions have been delivered by the program.
At the same time, traffic to DiscoverBoating.com is up 18.5 percent and the site has referred more than 600,000 consumers to manufacturer websites through July – an increase of 285 percent over 2012.
Discover Boating has launched numerous new initiatives in advertising and public relations to get the word out about boating.
The campaign has also continued to grow its social media reach. Discover Boating now has more than 650,000 fans on Facebook and has increased its Twitter followers by 63 percent to more than 11,000.
With most of Discover Boating's paid advertising wrapped for the year (although PR and other marketing efforts continue), Boating Industry touched base with Discover Boating President Carl Blackwell to talk about this year's efforts.
Discover Boating undertook some new advertising efforts this year, probably most notably the cinema advertising. How have those worked out?
Our cinema advertising was a new test for us and we were pretty lucky this year with both of our [advertisements]. One ran over the Easter holiday and one ran over the Memorial Day holiday. In both cases they saw record box office for both of those holiday weekends. We had our spots hit at the right time.
What was more interesting for us is that the spots really resonated with the consumer. We had a very high percentage of consumers recalling our spot, which you might imagine in captive environment like that. Seventy-six percent of the people that were interviewed remembered our spots; 63 percent of consumers that saw the spot really liked the spot and the rest were just neutral on it.
Our online video just continues to perform incredibly well. Our click-to-completion rates – that is, when someone clicks on a video and watches the whole thing – exceeded all industry benchmarks. In some places where we were advertising we were the highest-ranked click to completion ad. That tells us that we're definitely making an impact with our commercials.
My hope is that as the industry recovers we get to show it to more people. That's the challenge and the payoff for us.
Another thing … this year that seems to be working for us is that the lines of advertising and public relations continue to blur. We're well positioned as an industry group … to provide a more neutral, third party content, which publications are more apt to pick up versus something that might be more branded.
What parts of your marketing efforts have been most effective this year?
The one number that jumps off our results chart is the manufacturer referrals – when they leave our site and go to a manufacturer's. We're going to see a 300 percent increase this year over last year.
That's a lot of consumers that are coming to Discover Boating, learning about the boating lifestyle, excited enough to go to a boat type page and then click off our site to a manufacturer's site. Once the consumer clicks that deep into our site that says that they're pretty engaged.
What's behind that increase?
There're a couple of reasons for the increase. We've learned and gotten much more cost-effective with our advertising and the second thing we've done is we've improved the navigation on our website. So now it'll take two or three clicks when before it would have taken five or six clicks to get to a manufacturer website.
Why are you able to be more cost-effective this year? Is it just a matter of more experience as you go through the process or what's driving that?
I think we're smarter in our search advertising. We have a very extensive search advertising process, and a (great) team managing it. The more you go out and buy you start to hone in on those words that start to respond better and are less expensive as well.
We don't always buy the No. 1 placement. We don't need to be at the top of the page in the paid area, we just need to be in the top five. Our search advertising is much more effective this year. As you do more advertising, you get more cost effective.
If you go to the organic side of our website, we have over 700 keywords or phrases that are listed as the one or two position on Google. That's incredibly optimized for a website.
When you combine a highly optimized organic website with paid advertising, you do a heck of a lot better with your search results, because they see your listings twice.
One of the things that really stands out with Discover Boating is social media. How do you continue to attract new people and keep the fans you have engaged?
Our social media advertising continues to be very effective for us. Our cost per like is off the chart. Last year, Facebook wrote a case study on our campaign and we ended up being 25 percent more efficient this year.
Social media is labor intensive. It takes research on what your consumers are interested in. You need to spend a lot of time and effort developing relevant content or sourcing it.
Then you step back and you have to listen, see what our consumers are saying. For example, one thing we've learned is that "celebrities on boats" is not really something our boating community cares about. Boating is the star in our world.
We watch our analytics. Whenever we make a post, we look at the number of shares, the number of people we reach, we look at the likes, we look at the dislikes. You just have to pay attention to your analytics.
How about the partnership this year on Welcome to the Water on National Marina Day? How did that work out on the Discover Boating side of things?
We're mostly pleased with the results. We had 100 more [locations participating] this year than last year. To the best of our ability to calculate, we got a minimum of 6,000 to 7,000 people on the water.
Certainly there are some things that are challenges: dates are a challenge. It's hard to find a date that works for everyone. The name of the event is too complicated. And frankly, we were a bit disappointed in the lack of hands-on skill training that was available.
Overall we were very pleased. There was a lot of good, but some areas for improvement.

A bucolic Duncans Mills pasture ringed by redwood-carpeted hillsides turned historically deadly Sunday as Civil War "soldiers" battled for ground.
Confederate and United States flags snapped in the strong breeze while a company of rebels in mismatched uniforms and the navy-blue-clad Yankees advanced on each other.
It all went on amidst calvary soldiers wheeling on horseback, rebel yells, screams from the wounded and smoke building from volleys of musket fire (without bullets) and thunderous cannon blasts.
Civil War Days
"Give 'em hell, Johnny reb! Give 'em hell," shouted a woman sitting in a shaded gallery set up along the field that was filled with several hundred people.
"This is fabulous. The scenery is great. The soldiers are terrific," said another viewer, Janis Herbert. The self-described Civil War enthusiast had traveled from Folsom for the day.
"Did you see the one soldier die? He keeled over so dramatically, everyone was clapping," Herbert said, "...all in the spirit of honor."
This weekend was the 14th annual Civil War Days, held each year in Freezeout Flat near the Russian River. The field is owned by the Casini family, who run a popular nearby campground.
It typically is home to grazing cattle. But for this weekend it was a step back in time with a battlefield, tented civilian town and camps set up for the two sides.
The event helps to educate the public about the pivotal war in American history, said event coordinator Ted Miljevich of Saratoga.
Before and after the battles, the public can wander through the town and camps, learning about any number of era-related things, from the working of a telegraph machine to how far a cannonball can fly.

Staff at the Aldwych theatre had to call off a performance of Dirty Dancing last night due to a blaze at Marconi House, at the junction of the Strand and Aldwych.
At the height of the incident 20 fire engines and 100 firefighters were tackling the blaze. Around three quarters of the building roof was damaged by fire.
The Fire Brigade was called at 1106 and the fire was brought under control at 1830. Crews from across London attended the incident.
Station Manager Tom Goodall who was at the scene of the fire said: "Our crews worked really hard in hot and taxing conditions to bring this fire under control as quickly as possible. It was a difficult job but firefighters managed to prevent the fire from spreading to the neighbouring properties. The building itself, which is under refurbishment, was evacuated quickly and there were no reports of any injuries."
There were no reports of people trapped or injured and the cause is unknown. London Ambulance Service sent paramedics and five specialist hazardous area response team units as a precaution.
The fire at the building - which was the site of the first BBC broadcast in 1922 - sent smoke across the London skyline.
Customers with Dirty Dancing tickets should contact their point of purchase to change their booking to another performance or request a refund.
No other London productions were affected.

The president's return early today was a surprise, Reuters reports; it came just days after he released the first images of him that had been seen since he left his country. He's currently in a military hospital, the vice president says. Fireworks went off in Caracas neighborhoods as "Chavistas" celebrated his return. Chavez also tweeted today for the first time since he left for Cuba. "We have arrived back in the Venezuelan fatherland. Thanks, my God! Thanks, my beloved people! Here we will continue the treatment," he posted, and later, "I remain attached to Christ and trusting in my nurses and doctors. Onwards to victory forever! We will live and we will conquer!" In a third tweet, he thanked Raul and Fidel Castro for his treatment in their country.

"The internet is like radio for us"
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On November 17, 2004 @ 6:03 am In Music | Comments Disabled
"The internet is like radio for us." [1]
Man, is that a money quote, or what? It comes from the Wilco [2] front man Jeff Tweedy.
Conventional wisdom (i.e., within the music industry) says that file sharing hurts the odds for commercial success of any CD or single. Wilco front man Jeff Tweedy disagrees; He doesn't believe every download is a "lost sale." In fact, he realizes that with radio fading as a medium for introducing new music [3], P2P is the new promotional mechanism replacing FM (shocker!)
In fact, after Wilco was dropped from Reprise Records in 2001 (there was a battle over creative control of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot [4]), they decided to stream what would become their new CD online — for free.
The album's subsequent release on their new label (Nonesuch [5]) was their highest chart debut ever. Thus, P2P acted as a successful promotional mechanism for them, instead of the Label. Note that the labels have traditionally had as one of their reasons for existence the job of Album promotion; Its how they justify (at least in part) the exhorbitant fees they charge for CDs. Not only has that model been challenged by P2P, but its pretty clear that artists (i.e., U2 [6] and Enimen [7]) have figured out that labels, as the preferred way to promote new releases (and the subsequent recoupable expenses the labels lay out on behalf of artists), are now superfluous.
Disintermediation [8] in action!
Here's an excerpt of Jeff Tweedy's interview in Wired [1]:
"If they succeed, it will damage the culture and industry they say they're trying to save.
What if there was a movement to shut down libraries because book publishers and authors were up in arms over the idea that people are reading books for free? It would send a message that books are only for the elite who can afford them.
Stop trying to treat music like it's a tennis shoe, something to be branded. If the music industry wants to save money, they should take a look at some of their six-figure executive expense accounts. All those lawsuits can't be cheap, either.
A piece of art is not a loaf of bread. When someone steals a loaf of bread from the store, that's it. The loaf of bread is gone. When someone downloads a piece of music, it's just data until the listener puts that music back together with their own ears, their mind, their subjective experience. How they perceive your work changes your work.
Treating your audience like thieves is absurd. Anyone who chooses to listen to our music becomes a collaborator.
People who look at music as commerce don't understand that. They are talking about pieces of plastic they want to sell, packages of intellectual property.
I'm not interested in selling pieces of plastic."
This perspective is gaining traction; I suspect its only a matter of time before the industry adapts to the new reality . . .

|Electrocatalyst approaches and challenges for automotive fuel cells.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22678278 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Fuel cells powered by hydrogen from secure and renewable sources are the ideal solution for non-polluting vehicles, and extensive research and development on all aspects of this technology over the past fifteen years has delivered prototype cars with impressive performances. But taking the step towards successful commercialization requires oxygen reduction electrocatalysts--crucial components at the heart of fuel cells--that meet exacting performance targets. In addition, these catalyst systems will need to be highly durable, fault-tolerant and amenable to high-volume production with high yields and exceptional quality. Not all the catalyst approaches currently being pursued will meet those demands.

Ok so how do I figure out what my raw materials costs are in order to determine my pricing of a wet lab print.
Lets say i spend $40.00 to buy chemicals for both the film and paper.
And lets say a sheet of fibre paper costs $2.00 for one sheet. [11x14 or 16x20]
now the chemicals can possibly be used for more than one darkroom session, maybe not, depends on what you use-
so lets say I shoot a session , down at the beach- 2 or 3 rolls of film. toddler on the beach-
would I use the total of $40. in my calculations for that one session even though I might be able to use some of those chemicals for another session?/client.
it drives me nuts trying to figure out my raw costs-
how far down do you break down you costs? to the ounce?
or well I had to order $40. worth of chemicals for this one shoot and if I don't use it on anything else my costs are $40.
lets say it is $40.00 for chemicals-
I use them one time - then dump them-but I also have some left over in the bottle to use for another cleint.
$10.00 for 2 rolls of film for this client.
2.00 for that one sheet of paper
so thats $52.00 to produce one fibre print.
would I use that figure to determine my raw costs for that one session?
and then add my other costs to determine what to charge the client?
would I also use those same figures to price documentary work?
chemicals are chemicals... paper is paper...
I have seen 11x14 doc fibre prints for sale at $375.
and there are many others that charge $1200 per session....includes one print
but how the heck do you figure your actual raw material costs to produce one print?
If I was making a piece of jewerly I would know I spent 3.75 on this widget and 5.00 on that finding and 8.00 on that small gemstone...but how do you figure out the liquid chem costs?
Thanks TSSA
Sorry, I'm not as detailed as you have outlined here. However, my thinking is, as far as costs are concerned, I consider these as important items:
1. Time by the photographer to create, process and make the print. Does the experience of the photographer, style and the ability to make a beautiful image as an important piece of the pricing pie? What is a brand new, just out of school photographer receive in wages as compared to someone who has 30 plus years of experience?
2. Selling, marketing and other networking costs.
3. Educational costs for the key or main photographer(s). Pretty important in today's market.
4. General business costs. These include location, employees, equipment costs, seminars to send the employees to help them be more valuable for you.
5. Equipment costs.
6. Consumables. For darkroom, chemicals for film & print and things like paper costs.
I believe if you add it up, numbers 1 through 5 would be 90 to 95% of costs. 5 to 10% allow for chemicals & paper.
What did I miss?
Insurance and membership dues-
you make a good point-
I think 1-5 fall more into overhead , and the general being in business costs, and #6 is a direct cost in the making of the product, whereas I was thinking of it as part of my overhead.
for example - a roofing company does not consider the cost of shingles in it's overhead,
they would calculate how many sq feet of roof they have to cover, and the shingles would be the "variable" depending on how large the roof is. The larger the roof, the more shingles they need to order and bring to the jobsite, and the more the cost they would bill to the client.

06/18/07 The Clear Channel Factor
"Are you guys with Clear Channel?" asked the 25-year-old sitting next to us. We were in a burger joint in San Antonio, and he had overheard us talking radio.
"No, we're not. Why do you ask?"
"I wanted to give you a piece of my mind," said the Marine who had just returned from duty in Iraq. "Clear Channel has destroyed radio."
When asked how Clear Channel had destroyed radio, he noted that artists could no longer get new music on the air, that the music is played too frequently, and that too many commercials are aired. "Radio isn't cool anymore," he added, "because Clear Channel ruined it."
Deciding to probe further, I asked what stations he likes to listen to. "The stations in Austin are a lot better and a lot hipper than the ones here in San Antonio," he replied. He told me about the station he loves in Austin, and the one he likes most in San Antonio. "Clear Channel needs to have stations like those; they are both excellent stations," he said.
He was shocked when I told him both are Clear Channel stations.
It's hip to hate Clear Channel.
I cannot remember a time when listeners knew the name of a company that owned radio stations, or even a time when radio was uncool (other than when AM became positioned as uncool at the hands of FM in the 1970s). Today, consumers know the name Clear Channel, but probably can't name any other radio owners.
Whether or not it is deserved, Clear Channel has a giant image problem to overcome. And the negative shadow that has hung over Clear Channel has contributed to tarnishing the good name of radio. Of course, radio as an industry has also contributed to these negative perceptions by cutting back to keep Wall Street happy.
Arbitron figures still reflect strong radio listening levels, yet the Clear Channel effect has permeated a generation of listeners who think radio is not cool. What are we going to do about it? If people are still listening, does it matter that listeners think radio is uncool?
Though our own airwaves are a great place to start to turn the tide, pro-radio spots do nothing but make radio look desperate and defensive. We have to address the issues consumers perceive as problems by being more creative and personality-driven, more community-centric, and less predictable. Then we need to address our giant PR problem. If radio isn't cool, will the young media planners and buyers who control advertising want to advertise on radio?
Is it worth an investment in a massive, multi-million dollar PR and marketing campaign to turn this negative tide? Yes! It's not only necessary, it's
Marketing campaigns work for companies and for politicians. It can work for radio.

We have a sweet quilt teacher that comes to the shop and teaches our Beginning Quilt class. I've gone through the class twice now and there's definitely been a big improvement in my piecing .. finally!
For the first quilt I made, I chose some of my favorite fabrics that we had in the shop at that time. There's some Kate Spain Central Park, Momo Just Wing It, Tina Givens Opal Owl, and Anna Maria Horner Innocent Crush just to name a few.
I liked how it turned out … just don't look to closely … so many mistakes! I just have to keep reminding myself that I learned a lot while making it which was the entire point!
For the second go-round with the class, I chose to use all Kona Solids and I really like how it's turning out. Yep, the class I took ended months ago and I have yet to actually finish it.
I'm thinking about adding a light grey outside border, probably Kona Ash and doing little Ash cornerstones to break up the white a little bit. Will have to play with it and see how it'll look.
Truth be told, I have to redo one of the blocks too … I went to cut it down to size and cut it waaay to small. If I cut the others to match, I'll mess up all the points. So I'll either redo it or add a really, tiny border to get it back up to size. Ugh .. I can't believe I messed it up like that!
It's supposed to rain here all day Sunday … yay!! Hope to get lots of sewing done. Getting 4 Swoon blocks prepped and have a tank top that I want to make along with a Schoolhouse Tunic to finish and a dress sample to start on. Whew … should be a busy day!!
xo, Jen

A Fayetteville man pleaded guilty Aug. 4 to carrying a firearm without a license in Adams County Court, according to the Adams County Public Defender's office.
Isaac Dugan Perkins, 31, will receive a sentence on of five to 10 years in prison, said Jason Pudleiner, assistant public defender for Adams County.
Perkins was found guilty of the second-degree felony by a jury, Pudleiner said. Adams County Judge Thomas Campbell found Perkins guilty of several summary charges, including defiant trespass and violating rules and regulations while trespassing, he said.
Perkins and his brother, 30-year-old Isaiah Mark Perkins, of Fayetteville, were arrested on Hilltown Road in Franklin Township in December. Isaac
Perkins, who state police said was prohibited from possessing firearms, was charged with hunting without a license among other charges. Isaiah
Perkins, who had a hunting license, reportedly supplied his brother with the gun and faced trespassing and hunting-related charges.
Pudleiner said he hopes his client will receive a mitigated sentence at Isaac Perkins' Oct. 20 sentencing date
"At the end of the day, all he did was get caught hunting on private property," Pudleiner said. "He didn't even take a shot."
Campbell found Isaac Perkins not guilty of two hunting-related charges, taking or killing big game beyond season limits and unlawful taking or possession of game or wildlife.
Isaiah Perkins, who is being represented by private counsel, is scheduled for an October trial, according to the Adams County District Attorney's office. He will appear in court on Aug. 18 for pretrial motions, said Robert Bain, assistant district attorney for Adams County.

California Transportation Commission chair: 'California can't afford to not build high-speed rail'
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On November 22, 2011 @ 9:23 am In Aggbeat Online | No Comments
Dario Frommer, chair of the California Transportation Commission, issued a statement on the release of the California High-Speed Rail Authority's new business plan.
"Unfortunately, I cannot be in Sacramento…for the release of the new high-speed rail business plan because my flight was cancelled due to fog at the Burbank Airport," Frommer said in the statement. "If California already had high-speed rail built, I could have simply jumped on the train. This really underscores the fact that, not only will high-speed rail create a million jobs and reduce carbon emissions, it will also make life easier for Californians who now rely on our outdated and overburdened transportation systems.
"Under the draft business plan released…Californians would pay $60 to $80 for a one-way ticket from Los Angeles to San Francisco," Frommer continued. "That's a bargain compared to the $200 one-way ticket many of us are paying to fly the same route. California can't afford to not build high-speed rail."
