Special Event: Men and Depression
On Wednesday, July 27, the Depression Center will host a special presentation: "Men & Depression: From Professional to Patient and Back." Mark Meier is traveling across the country by bicycle this summer to promote dialogue and awareness about depression in men. He will speak from the perspective of a clinical social worker and adjunct faculty member at the University of Minnesota, as well as someone who lived with untreated depression for 14 years. He credits his then-infant daughter with thwarting his attempt to take his own life 10 years ago, an event that prompted him to seek treatment and, now, to bring his message of hope and awareness about depression across the country to men and their families. Meier is currently in Colorado and making his way east.

"The foundation of medicine is friendship, conversation, and hope"
Depression Center Executive Director John Greden, M.D., reflects on the wise words of a self-described "country doctor."
Depression in the "sandwich" generation
Our Depression Toolkit provides information and resources for people caught between caring for their own children as well as their aging parents, a burden that can increase the risk of stress, anxiety and depression.
Postpartum depression resources
The Detroit Free Press Health Section recently featured a number of articles on postpartum depression (and depression in new dads). Several U-M depression resources are highlighted, including the MOM Power Program, and the Women and Infants Mental Health Clinic.
A new measure to look at remission from depression
U-M researchers have developed a tool to help primary care physicians assess depression symptoms in a way that considers an individual's own sense of recovery. The measure, called REMIT, may provide a more complete picture of remission from depression when used with other standard tools, like the PHQ-9. The tool (developed by Depression Center members Donald Nease, M.D., former associate professor of family medicine, and Michael Klinkman, M.D., M.S., professor of family medicine and associate professor of psychiatry, and colleagues) was featured in Science Daily, American Medical News, Medscape, and elsewhere.
Depression risk in African-American men
African-American men who experienced discrimination in their everyday lives were more likely to have depressive symptoms, while a sense of "mastery," or feeling more in control of one's environment, helped protect against depressive symptoms in these men, likely by boosting the ability to cope with life stressors. These results came from a study led by Depression Center member Daphne Watkins, Ph.D., assistant professor of social work and research associate at the Research Center for Group Dynamics, which was featured in Medical News Today and BET.com.
Compassion for others can bring boost to self-esteem
New U-M research confirms that giving to others can elevate self-esteem in a lasting way. A study conducted by Jennifer Crocker, Ph.D., while a professor of psychology at U-M and a member of the Depression Center, found that building mutually caring relationships with others can produce sustained improvement in feelings of self-worth, while acting to enhance one's image without true concern for the welfare of others provided no such boost.
Opioid abuse common among former NFL players
Nearly 3 in 4 professional football players who used opioids for pain relief during their playing days ended up misusing or abusing the painkillers, according to an article in Anesthesiology News describing the first study to examine opioid abuse among NFL players. In the article, Thomas L. Schwenk, M.D., associate director of the Depression Center, George A. Dean Chair of Family Medicine, and professor of family medicine and medical education, comments, "The concussion issue is the tip of the iceberg....And that has to do with the broader view of the retired football player's health—the loss of fitness and physical vitality and the depression that goes with that." Read the full article here (registration required, but free of charge).
Forum sparks community dialogue about depression, head injuries, and stigma
Former Surgeon General David Satcher, M.D., Ph.D., joined former NFL players and family members, including Depression Center Outreach Coordinator Eric Hipple, for a town hall-style meeting in Dearborn to help communities develop strategies for preventing and reducing the risk of dementia and stigma related to mental disorders. The NFL Community Huddle continues its tour later this summer in Chicago and Green Bay.

Seacrest Stays Put; The Atlantic Poaches The TimesApril 24, 2012
Ryan Seacrest is not going anywhere. He will remain as host of American Idol through the spring of 2014 for the low cost of $15 million per season. Seacrest, a fixture on the show since its launch in 2002, used his place as program pointman to elevate his status beyond his wildest dreams. (He's his very own American idol, if you will.) "He is an integral part of why American Idol is a true phenomenon, and we can't imagine doing this show without him," Mike Darnell, president of alternative entertainment for Fox, said in a statement. Seacrest will also contribute to this summer's Olympic Games coverage on NBC Universal and have an expanded role at the Peacock... Lulu Kennedy signs on as an editor-at-large of Love.

Unix scripting with Perforce commands - Need help

We are using perforce as our version control system.
I need to write a script which will list all the files that have changed between 2 branches and I also need to provide the list of users who may have touched the file. So, I am looking for an output something like
BRANCH1BRANCH2PATH_OF_FILEMOdifiedBy file1.txt#1file1.txt#3/foo/bar/username1;username2 file2.txt#5- -file3.jsp#1/foo/username1;
This output can be comma separated. We would like to open this report in
and do any analysis that may be required.
I have at my disposal a few commands provided by perforce. I have been able to make some progress using redirection but feel that it would be better if I wrote a shell script instead.
I first run the following command.
p4 diff2 -q -t //SMA/branches/branchname1...#head //SMA/branches/branchname2/...#head > report.csv
The contents of report.csv are as follows
==== //SMA/branches/branchname1/file1.txt#1 (text) - //SMA/branches/branchname2/file1.txt#3 (text) ==== content ==== //SMA/branches/branchname1/fil2.txt#5 - <none> ==== ==== <none> - //SMA/branches/branchname2/file3.txt#1 ====
I then use the follwoing commands to format the file
ls report.csv | xargs perl �ae �i �s/====/ /g� � this removes all the ugly ==== signs and replaces them with blanks. ls report.csv | xargs perl �ae �i �s/ \-/,/g� � this removes all the hyphen(-) file name separators with comma(,). ls report.csv | xargs perl �ae �i �s/<none>,/-,/g� � this removes all the occurance of <none>, and replaces then with -, ls report.csv | xargs perl �ae �i �s/<none>/ /g� � this replaces the remaining occurances of <none> and replaces them with a blank space
After running the above commands the contents of report.csv are something like
//SMA/branches/branchname1/foo/bar/file1.txt#1 (text), //SMA/branches/branchname2/foo/bar/file1.txt#3 (text) content //SMA/branches/branchname1/file2.txt#5, ==== -, //SMA/branches/branchname2/foo/file3.txt#1 ====
This is as far as I have got.
I have another command to generate the list of users who have touched a file. So what I need to do is iterate to the contents of report.csv and run the command for each file.
The command that generates the list of users is
p4 filelog file1.txt
and the output it generates is
//SMA/branches/branchname/foo/bar/file1.txt ... #3 change 158543 edit on 2008/06/24 by username@workspacename (text) 'DESCRIPTION' ... #2 change 157381 edit on 2008/06/19 by username1@workspacename1 (text) 'DESCRIPTION' ... #1 change 157376 branch on 2008/06/19 by username1@workspacename2 (text) 'DESCRIPTION' ... ... branch from //SMA/Head/branchname/foo/bar/file1.txt
I have formatted the above output using
p4 filelog file1.txt| tail +2 | cut -d ' ' -f 9 | cut -d '@' -f 1 | sed 'H;$!d;x;s/\n/;/g';
and I get the following output
And that is where I have stopped.
I have the 2 commands and the formatted output from each. However I feel there should be a much cleaner way to do this using shell scripting.
Unfortunately I am not so comfortable with shell scripting. Would appreciate if anyone could provide me with any suggestion on how can I go about writing a script for this. Any links etc will be appreciated as well.
Thanks for being patient to read such a long post.
And thank you for your help.

Malaysia's population of 22.7 million (1999) continues to grow at a rate of 2.4% per annum; about 34% of the population is under the age of 15. Malaysia's population comprises many ethnic groups, with the politically dominant Malays comprising a plurality. By constitutional definition, all Malays are Muslim. About a quarter of the population is Chinese who have historically played an important role in trade and business.
Malaysians of Indian descent comprise about 7% of the population and include Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, and Christians. About 85% of the Indian community is Tamil.
Non-Malay indigenous groups make up more than half of Sarawak's population and about 66% of Sabah's. They are divided into dozens of ethnic groups, but they share some general patterns of living and culture. Until the 20th century, most practiced traditional beliefs, but many have become Christian or Muslim. The "other" category includes Malaysians of, inter alia, European and Middle Eastern descent. Population distribution is uneven, with some 15 million residents concentrated in the lowlands of Peninsular Malaysia, an area slightly smaller than the State of Michigan.
In the first century AD, two far-flung but related events helped stimulate Malaysia's emergence in international trade in the ancient world. At that time, India had two principal sources of gold and other metals: the Roman Empire and China. The overland route from China was cut by marauding Huns, and at about the same time, the Roman Emperor Vespasian cut off shipments of gold to India. As a result, India sent large and seaworthy ships, with crews reported to have numbered in the hundreds, to Southeast Asia, including the Malayan Peninsula, to seek alternative sources. In the centuries that followed, rich Malaysian tin deposits assumed great significance in Indian Ocean trade, and the region prospered. As maritime trade among Middle Eastern, Indian, and Chinese ports flourished, the peninsula benefited from its location as well as from development of its diverse resources, including tropical woods and spices. Malay ships became prominent in that trade, and Malay ports served as transshipment centers. Indian trade brought Indian culture, economy, religion, and politics, with historic results for what is now Malaysia.
The early Buddhist Malay kingdom of Srivijaya, based at what is now Palembang, Sumatra, dominated much of the Malay Peninsula from the 9th to the 13th centuries AD. The powerful Hindu kingdom of Majapahit, based on Java, gained control of the Malay Peninsula in the 14th century. Conversion of the Malays to Islam, beginning in the early 14th century, accelerated with the rise of the state of Malacca under the rule of a Muslim prince in the 15th century.
Malacca was a major regional entrepot, where Chinese, Arab, Malay, and Indian merchants traded precious goods. Drawn by this rich trade, a Portuguese fleet conquered Malacca in 1511, marking the beginning of European expansion in Southeast Asia. The Dutch ousted the Portuguese from Malacca in 1641 and, in 1795, were themselves replaced by the British, who had occupied Penang in 1786.
In 1826, the British settlements of Malacca, Penang, and Singapore were combined to form the Colony of the Straits Settlements. From these strong points, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the British established protectorates over the Malay sultanates on the peninsula. Four of these states were consolidated in 1895 as the Federated Malay States.
During British control, a well-ordered system of public administration was established, public services were extended, and largescale rubber and tin production was developed. This control was interrupted by the Japanese invasion and occupation from 1942 to 1945 during World War II.
Popular sentiment for independence swelled during and after the war and, in 1957, the Federation of Malaysia, established from the British-ruled territories of Peninsula Malaysia in 1948, negotiated independence from the United Kingdom under the leadership of Tunku Abdul Rahman, who became the first prime minister. The British colonies of Singapore, Sarawak, and Sabah (called North Borneo) joined the Federation to form Malaysia on September 16, 1963. Singapore withdrew from the Federation on August 9, 1965, and became an independent republic. Neighboring Indonesia objected to the formation of Malaysia and pursued a program of economic, political, diplomatic, and military "confrontation" against the new country, which ended only after the fall of Indonesia's President Sukarno in 1966.
Following World War II, local communists, nearly all Chinese, launched a long, bitter insurgency, prompting the imposition of a state of emergency in 1948 (later lifted in 1960). Small bands of guerrillas remained in bases along the rugged border with southern Thailand, occasionally entering northern Malaysia. These guerrillas finally signed a peace accord with the Malaysian Government in December 1989. A separate smallscale communist insurgency that began in the mid-1960s in Sarawak also ended with the signing of a peace accord in October 1990.
Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy, nominally headed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong ("paramount ruler"), customarily referred to as the king. Kings are elected for 5-year terms from among the nine sultans of the peninsular Malaysian states. The king also is the leader of the Islamic faith in Malaysia.
Executive power is vested in the cabinet led by the prime minister; the Malaysian constitution stipulates that the prime minister must be a member of the lower house of parliament who, in the opinion of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, commands a majority in parliament. The cabinet is chosen from among members of both houses of parliament and is responsible to that body.
The bicameral parliament consists of the Senate (Dewan Negara) and the House of Representatives (Dewan Rakyat). All 69 Senate members sit for 6-year terms; 26 are elected by the 13 state assemblies, and 43 are appointed by the king. Representatives of the House are elected from single-member districts by universal adult suffrage. The 193 members of the House of Representatives are elected to maximum terms of 5 years. Legislative power is divided between federal and state legislatures.
The Malaysian legal system is based on English common law. The Federal Court reviews decisions referred from the Court of Appeals; it has original jurisdiction in constitutional matters and in disputes between states or between the federal government and a state. Peninsular Malaysia and the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak each have a high court.
The federal government has authority over external affairs, defense, internal security, justice (except civil law cases among Malays or other Muslims and other indigenous peoples, adjudicated under Islamic and traditional law), federal citizenship, finance, commerce, industry, communications, transportation, and other matters.
Principal Government Officials
Prime Minister--Dato' Seri Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad
Foreign Minister--Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar
Ambassador to the U.S.--Dato' Ghazzali Sheikh Abdul Khalid
Ambassador to the UN--Dato' Hamsy bin Agam
Malaysia maintains an embassy in the U.S. at 2401 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20008, tel. (202) 328-2700; a Consulate General in the World Trade Center, 350 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA, tel. (213) 621-2991; and a Consulate General at 140 E. 45th Street, New York, NY 10017, tel. (212) 490-2722.
Malaysia's predominant political party, the United Malays National Organization (UMNO), has held power in coalition with other parties since Malaya's independence in 1957. In 1973, an alliance of communally based parties was replaced with a broader coalition--the Barisan Nasional--composed of 14 parties. In early September 1998, Prime Minister Mahathir dismissed Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibraham and accused Anwar of immoral and corrupt conduct.
Anwar said his ouster actually owed to political differences and led a series of demonstrations advocating political reforms. Later in September, Anwar was arrested, beaten while in prison, and charged with corrupt practices, i.e., obstruction of justice and sodomy. In April 1999, he was convicted of four counts of corruption and sentenced to 6 years in prison. In August 2000, Anwar was convicted of one count of sodomy and sentenced to 9 years to run consecutively after his earlier 6-year sentence. Both trials were viewed by domestic and international observers as unfair. In the November 1999 general election, the Barisan Nasional was returned to power with three-fourths of the parliamentary seats, but UMNO's seats dropped from 94 to 72. The opposition Barisan Alternatif coalition, led by the Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS), increased its seats to 42. PAS retained control of the state of Kelantan and won the additional state of Terengganu.
After nearly a decade of strong economic growth averaging 8.7% annually, Malaysia was hard hit by the regional financial crisis of 1997-99. The economy suffered a sharp 7.5% contraction in 1998 but rebounded in 1999 to grow by 5.6% for the year. The Government of Malaysia predicts 5.8% real GDP growth in the year 2000, but most analysts predict growth will exceed 8% for the year. The economic recovery has been led by strong growth in exports, particularly of electronics and electrical products, to the United States, Malaysia's principal trade and investment partner. Inflationary pressures remain benign, and, as a result, Bank Negara, the central bank, has been able to follow a low interest rate policy. Since September 1998, the Malaysian ringgit has been pegged at an exchange rate of RM3.8/U.S.$1.0. Most analysts believe that, with consumer demand and investment finally recovering from the crisis, Malaysia should broaden its economic growth this year.
Malaysia remains an important trading partner for the United States. In 1999, two-way bilateral trade between the U.S. and Malaysia totaled U.S.$30.5 billion, with U.S. exports to Malaysia totaling U.S.$9.1 billion and U.S. imports from Malaysia increasing to U.S.$21.4 billion. Malaysia was the United States' 12th-largest trading partner and its 17th-largest export market. During the first half of 2000, U.S. exports totaled U.S.$5 billion, while U.S. imports from Malaysia reached U.S.$11.6 billion.
At independence, Malaysia inherited an economy dominated by two commodities--rubber and tin. In the 40 years thereafter, Malaysia's economic record had been one of Asia's best. From the early 1980s through the mid-1990s, the economy experienced a period of broad diversification and sustained rapid growth averaging almost 8% annually. By 1999, nominal per capita GDP had reached $3,238. New foreign and domestic investment played a significant role in the transformation of Malaysia's economy. Manufacturing grew from 13.9% of GDP in 1970 to 30% in 1999, while agriculture and mining, which together had accounted for 42.7% of GDP in 1970, dropped to 9.3% and 7.3%, respectively, in 1999. Manufacturing accounted for 30% of GDP (1999). Major products include electronic components--Malaysia is one of the world's largest exporters of semiconductor devices--electrical goods, and appliances.
The Malaysian Government encourages Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). According to Malaysian statistics, in 1999, the U.S. ranked first among all countries in approved FDI in Malaysia's manufacturing sector with approved new manufacturing investments totaling RM5.2 billion (US$1.37 billion). Principal U.S. investment approved by the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) was concentrated in the chemicals, electronics, and electrical sectors. The cumulative value of U.S. private investment in Malaysia exceeds $10 billion, 60% of which is in the oil and gas and petrochemical sectors with the rest in manufacturing, especially semiconductors and other electronic products.
Malaysia's New Economic Policy (NEP), first established in 1971, seeks to eradicate poverty and end the identification of economic function with ethnicity. In particular, it was designed to enhance the economic standing of ethnic Malays and other indigenous peoples (collectively known as "bumiputeras" in Bahasa Malaysia). Rapid growth through the mid-1990s made it possible to expand the share of the economy for bumiputeras without reducing the economic attainment of other groups. One controversial NEP goal was to alter the pattern of ownership of corporate equity in Malaysia, with the government providing funds to purchase foreign-owned shareholdings on behalf of the bumiputera population. In June 1991, after the NEP expired, the government unveiled its National Development Policy, which contained many of the NEP's goals, although without specific equity targets and timetables.
In the early 1990s, Malaysia undertook a major program to expand and modernize its armed forces. This included procurement of F/A-18 and C-130 aircraft from the U.S. However, budgetary constraints imposed by the 1997 financial crisis slowed military procurement. The recent economic recovery may lead to relaxation of budgetary constraints on the resumption of major weapons purchases. In October 2000 the Defense Minister announced a review of national defense and security policy to bring it up to date. This review will address new security threats that have emerged in the form of low intensity conflicts, such as the kidnapping of Malaysians and foreigners from resort islands located off the East Malaysian state of Sabah.
As a founding member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN--established 1967), Malaysia views regional cooperation as the cornerstone of its foreign policy. Malaysia was a leading advocate of expanding ASEAN's membership to include Laos, Vietnam, and Burma, arguing that "constructive engagement" with these countries, especially Burma, will help bring political and economic changes. In world affairs, Malaysia maintains cooperative relations with the United States, the European Union, and Japan. Malaysia is an active member of the Commonwealth, the UN, the Organization of Islamic Conference, and the Non-Aligned Movement. Malaysia also is a member of APEC and hosted the 1998 Leaders' Meeting. Malaysia maintains diplomatic relations with North Korea. In January 1999 Malaysia began a 2-year stint as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council.
International affiliations: UN and many of its specialized agencies, including UNESCO; World Bank, International Monetary Fund, International Atomic Energy Agency; General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade; Association of Southeast Asian Nations; Asian Development Bank; Five-Power Defense Arrangement; South-South Commission (G-15); Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC); Commonwealth; Non-Aligned Movement; Organization of Islamic Conference; and INTELSAT.
The United States has maintained friendly relations with Malaysia since its independence in 1957. Despite sometimes strident rhetoric, the U.S. and Malaysia have a solid record of cooperation in many areas, including trade and investment, defense, counter-terrorism, and counter-narcotics.
Cultural and educational exchanges have been another fruitful area of cooperation. Malaysians studying in the U.S., now numbering about 14,000, represent one of the largest foreign student groups enrolled in American colleges and universities. The United States took steps to assist Malaysian students in the U.S. through the uncertainties of the recent economic downturn.
Trade and Investment
Malaysia's economic recovery, which began in 1999, appears likely to continue apace into 2001. The U.S. is currently Malaysia's largest trading partner and largest investor. Malaysia possesses abundant resources and land, a well-educated work force, adequate infrastructure, and a relatively stable political environment. The return of economic growth should boost U.S. exports, particularly in priority areas of development, including high-technology fields, industrial automation, medical products and services, education/distance learning, and the environment. Of particular interest to the Malaysian Government is the development of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC), Malaysia's effort to create a Silicon Valley in Asia. Malaysia, a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), has few restraints on trade goods. Its service sector, however, remains protected, particularly in financial services.

My writing partner and cherished friend, Stanley Jay Gelber and I are tremendously grateful that you have chosen us as possible benefactors of your generosity. We thank you in advance!
Stan and I have been in the creative arts collectively for 110 years. For six of those years, we've been writing and refining LORD TOM, the Musical, with our goal to see it produced on Broadway. You can help us get there! Below is a little bit about each of us so that you know who we are in the creative arts world. Now let us introduce you to LORD TOM, the Musical.
LORD TOM, the Musical is the story of TOM, our hero, and his community of family and friends. TOM is at once human and mythic: fashioned on one of the most unforgettable men in American literature, the heroic character of TOM in Harriet Beecher Stowe's seminal novel Uncle Tom's Cabin (UTC). UTC sold 300,000 thousand copies in 1852, occasioning Putnam's Magazine to declare: "Never since books were first printed has the success of Uncle Tom's Cabin been equaled; the history of literature contains nothing parallel to it nor approaching it."
UTC is a masterpiece of social reform which helped end slavery, start the Civil War, and change the course of our nation's history. Indeed, Abraham Lincoln is quoted as saying to Harriet Beecher Stowe, "So this is the little lady who wrote the novel that made this great war."
Throughout Broadway history, rich, epic novels like Uncle Tom's Cabin have been converted from the page to the stage, translating eloquently into the musical theatre idiom and earning long, illustrious and successful runs on Broadway. They include Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera, The Secret Garden, Lost in the Stars, Ragtime, Showboat, among others.
We believe LORD TOM, the Musical--the phoenix rising out of UTC--will do the same. Broadway is ready for LORD TOM, the Musical. It gives a voice to the voiceless in today's world. It reminds us that we are all responsible for preserving and protecting our individual and collective freedom. It reminds us to live together united, with compassion and forgiveness and mutual regard for our differences, knowing that together we make up a more diverse, unique and irreplaceable family of man than apart. It reminds us that at our core we are all the same!
Music speaks to all people. Now is the time for this message to be rekindled through the music and story of LORD TOM, the Musical.
Thanks to contributors like you, last November LORD TOM, the Musical funded a CD of 12 song selections from the score of 25 songs, and mounted an informal, in-house reading with a cast of stellar Broadway performers. In this reading, we read the book and sang the score together for the first time! And guess what? People laughed and people cried and they gave the cast a standing ovation at the end of Act 2, because they were so moved by the subject matter. We were thrilled and encouraged! We now enter Phase Two of our fund raising efforts.
In order to mount LORD TOM on Broadway, we need seasoned producers who know how to raise millions of dollars. So, we have to get these producers into a theatre to watch our staged reading, in order to commit to optioning our project for a Broadway production.
So, we are fund raising to self-produce two consecutive Actors Equity Approved public staged readings with the same Broadway cast and a seasoned director, we will hire. We have hired a general manager to oversee expenses and handle the daily nuts and bolts of the business end of Phase Two. We still need to pay the balance for the theatre, hire the director, pay the musical director, the casting director, the graphic designer, pay the studio for the rehearsals, pay the actors and there's more! This requires thousands of dollars to achieve: $22,500.00 to be exact. Here's our Budget.
$9500.00............Creative Team (Director, Musical Director, Casting Director)
$2950.00............Actors and Production Stage Manager and Assistant Stage Manager
$3500.00............Legal and General Manager
$4500.00............Rehearsal & Performance Hall, Chairs, Music stands, Piano tuning
$1050.00............Scripts, CD tapes, Presentation Programs
$1000.00............Insurance, Payroll processing
LORD TOM, the Musical is a new American musical that meets American history in a progressive, game-changing way. Its inspirational story has never been done as a book musical with an original score in either the 20th or 21st century.
Its themes are legion and legendary - the triumph of kindness over hatred, of joy over horror, of family over disengagement, of unity over division, and of freedom over bondage.
It touches our senses and enriches our lives through its 21st century depiction of Stowe's big time iconic characters. TOM, our protagonist, is a bold, charismatic, human...struggling to return to his family...with a selfless spirit...and a humanity which is striking!
LORD TOM, the Musical is a platform for illuminating the issues that people still contend with in our society and our world today, such as:
Education of the oppressed
Evolution of freedom
Equal rights for all in a colorblind world
Our protagonist gives his life to insure the freedom of others, much like Coalhouse Walker in Ragtime, Kim in Miss Saigon, and real-life heroes Martin Luther King, Jr. in Memphis, TN, and the school principal at Sandy Hook.
LORD TOM, the Musical is a true and very classic American story in which is rooted the selfless spirit of man. It honors the principles upon which our country was founded: liberty and justice for all.
You will cry with joy and laugh with tears as you identify with its iconic and human characters.
And, you will love the rewards: which include the opportunity to see LORD TOM, the Musical on the Broadway stage! All contributors will be listed as a "theater angel" in all of our promotional materials, as we diligently move forward toward reaching our next objective--the mounting of LORD TOM, the Musical on Broadway!
Please make the difference by insuring that LORD TOM, the Musical LIVES to tell the story that empowers all of us! Your contribution empowers YOU to empower US to empower MANKIND one person and performance at a time.

Mitsubishi's product development boss Shinichi Kurihara is counting on the redesigned Outlander to jump-start U.S. sales.
Knows the market
NAGOYA, Japan -- Maybe it was a surprising bit of candor. Maybe it was an attempt to light a fire under the sales staff. But at face value, it was a stunning statement:
If a new crop of redesigned models doesn't sell, Mitsubishi may pull out of the United States.
At a press event here last week, the parent company's top product development executive said the stakes for the redesigned Outlander, Lancer and other vehicles are enormous. The vehicles have "to be successful for us to stay in business in the U.S.," said Shinichi Kurihara.
The first of the vehicles, the redesigned Outlander, goes on sale this fall. They will be built on the company's new C platform, the first developed by Mitsubishi since its 2004 breakup with DaimlerChrysler.
Kurihara's words underscore Mitsubishi's precarious position in the United States.
Last year sales plunged to 123,995 units, down from 345,111 in 2002. Mitsubishi Motors Corp. has posted huge losses in recent years, and it must make every product-development dollar count.
Mitsubishi's assembly plant in Normal, Ill., operates on only one shift. That's a recipe for losing money.
Sales fall 16.5%
Kurihara, 56, knows the United States well. From 1984 to 1988 he worked at Mitsubishi's U.S. headquarters in Cypress, Calif., studying U.S. consumer habits.
From 1996 to 2001 he was senior vice president of product strategy in the United States and was planning chief for the redesigned 2007 Eclipse Spyder that went on sale this spring.
He was in charge of the global compact segment before being named to his current job on April 1. He is corporate general manager of the product strategy office.
Kurihara's role is to assist U.S. CEO Hiroshi Harunari in bringing the proper product to this country.
"The U.S. is so important," Kurihara says. "We need to support Harunari. We believe Outlander will help us establish our image. We hope Outlander will bring new customers to our dealerships."
Dealers want more ads
Kurihara admits Mitsubishi's U.S. lineup is performing poorly. Through four months this year, sales fell 16.5 percent to 36,536 units.
"When we decided on Endeavor and Galant, we thought Mitsubishi was more upscale," he says. "But now maybe that is not so important."
He dismisses the Raider pickup as a "bad decision." The Eclipse is performing well, outselling the Endeavor and Lancer.
Mitsubishi sold 2,626 Eclipses in April in the United States, compared with 988 in the same period a year earlier.
He says the C-platform vehicles will demand attention with sporty good looks and innovative equipment.
The Outlander crossover has seven seats and more engine power than the current five-seat Outlander. It is powered by a six-speed automatic transmission, Mitsubishi's first, and a new 3.0-liter V-6 making 220 hp. It replaces a 2.4-liter, 160-hp four-cylinder engine.
Both all-wheel-drive and front-wheel-drive powertrains are available. An aluminum roof panel helps lower the center of gravity.
It will be the first Mitsubishi sold in the United States with a touch-screen navigation system. Bluetooth wireless technology, paddle shifters and in-floor third-row stowable seats also are available.
"Globally, Mitsubishi has enjoyed a strong reputation as an SUV manufacturer," says Kurihara. "We hope to re-establish our SUV image in the U.S."
Mitsubishi wants to sell at least 4,000 Outlanders monthly in the United States. It sold 811 Outlanders in April.
Mitsubishi in Japan says it plans to raise its U.S. incentive spending by 10 percent in the fiscal year that began April 1. The company will spend $3,000 per vehicle, up from $2,700 per vehicle in the fiscal year that ended March 31.
Miami dealer Bill Seidle says good product alone won't do it. He says Mitsubishi needs to open its purse and advertise.
"We have some of the finest automobiles in the U.S., such as the Eclipse and Eclipse Spyder, but nobody knows about them," Seidle says.
"I don't think they have enough funds to spend in the U.S. As a franchise, we're not moving and shaking."

Vigil held for girl killed in Salt Lake City crosswalk
A beaming Ambrosia Amalathithada left Whittier Elementary on Wednesday with her mom after finishing a successful tutoring lesson with her first-grade teacher. To celebrate the 6-year-old's exponential improvements in reading, her mom planned to take her to the store for candy but that was the last moment the two would share together.
As the pair crossed State Street at the 1500 South crosswalk, a northbound car went around stopped traffic on the inside lanes, jumped a 2-inch-high concrete median and hit them, according to police. Ambrosia suffered head injuries and was taken off life support about 4 p.m. Thursday.
On Friday night, her father, Cody Ramseyer, walked that same crosswalk to the sound of bagpipes in solemn tribute to the daughter he lost.
"She was a happy spirit, when she was around people she loved and loved her," he said, surrounded by more than 80 people who came to honor her at a candlelight vigil.
"Please take into consideration that everyone has their own life. Everyone has people who love them. Anything can happen," he said.
Car tires screeched and vehicles sped by even as people held candles in tribute. Ramseyer said he had worried before that someone could be hurt at the busy crossing, but "I never imagined in a million years it would be my daughter."
Whittier Elementary School officials said that since there wasn't a light or crossing guard there, they often told people to walk up to 1700 South.
"We have been concerned about [that intersection] for a long time," said principal's secretary Debra Parr.
The crossing was recently approved for a light, but construction is slated to begin this summer, a Utah Department of Transportation spokeswoman said.
"They definitely need a light, and I think it needs to be sooner than August," said Ambrosia's step-grandmother, Kerri Ramseyer.
The girl's aunt, McKenna Lindsey, remembered Ambrosia as a girl who used to "light up a room."
"We are trying to deal with it the best we can," she said."It is horrifying. It is just really tragic."
Lindsey said they will all remember a bubbly, happy Ambrosia, who loved to sing, dance and run up to people and say she loved them. She loved life and loved going to church and school.
"She was definitely the life of a room when she walked in," Lindsey said.
The family has not formally announced funeral plans, but they have set up an account under the name Ambrosia Fund at Wells Fargo for those who want to help pay for the girl's funeral. They can also reference account number 8965456075.
Parr said students and the PTA will be collecting funds to be donated to the family on behalf of Ambrosia, whose family decided to donate her organs.
The girl's mother, 28-year-old Natalie Amalathithada, suffered broken legs, a smashed pelvis and other upper-body injuries, Lindsey said.
"It is pretty severe," Lindsey said. Natalie Amalathithada was still hospitalized in critical condition Friday and sedated following three surgeries. Doctors expect her to recover, but it may take 16 weeks or more.
She doesn't yet know her daughter died.
Police are still investigating the crash and may file criminal charges against the woman behind the wheel of the red Chevy Cobalt that hit them. Police say she is in her mid-40s, but they haven't yet released her name.
Ambrosia's teacher, Cami Luce, said she was a "courageous, brave little girl" who moved to the school in January and was still learning letters and sounds. But after meeting three days a week for an hour after school for a month, she could read. Wednesday, she had finished reading her fifth book. Luce said her mom welled up with tears as she told her daughter, "I'm so proud of you." She was excited about the improvements her daughter had made and had wanted to reward her.
"She was very bright," Luce said. "It is a teacher's worst nightmare to hear of a student dying."
Twitter: @CimCity
Candlelight vigil
A candlelight vigil to remember Ambrosia Amalathithada was held Friday at 8 p.m. at Kensington Avenue (1500 South) and State Street.
Ambrosia died after being hit by a car on Wednesday at the intersection.

Few people can say they were in the operating rooms when President John F. Kennedy and his assassin Lee Harvey Oswald each died 50 years ago.
An El Paso doctor recalled his small role in one of the biggest events in world history Wednesday afternoon during a talk with dozens of students and professors in a library auditorium at the University of Texas at El Paso.
Dr. Curtis Spier, 78, is one of the few doctors still alive who had a role on the medical teams trying to save the lives of Kennedy and Oswald at Parkland hospital in Dallas.
Spier was an observer in a crowded emergency room as doctors tried to save the life of the mortally wounded president Nov. 22, 1963.
"Nobody wanted to say stop," Spier said about doctors working to try to save Kennedy's life even if they knew he was already dead.
Two days later, Spier was an anesthesiologist during the emergency care for Oswald, who was also shot.
Spier's talk was part of a UTEP political-science course on the Kennedy assassination being taught this semester by Professor Gregory Rocha in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's death. Rocha last taught the course 20 years ago during the 30th anniversary.
Even 50 years and generations later, interest remains strong in the Kennedy assassination, which is the topic of countless conspiracy websites, books and films. "We who lived through it, it was one of the worst weekends we've gone through," Rocha said.
Nov. 22, 1963, started as a regular day with Spier going to the hospital to meet with a supervisor.
Before the shooting, Spier talked on the telephone to another doctor at Parkland, who tongue-in-cheek mentioned that he had to remain at the hospital because the president was going to be shot. After Kennedy was killed, the doctor, who has since died, asked Spier not to repeat the comment he had made.
"I was on my way to Parkland hospital when the shooting took place and I arrived at the hospital just a few minutes later," Spier remembered. "There was already a crowd at the front door and security people standing around."
The trauma room and hallways were crowded with hospital staff, federal agents and law enforcement officers. First lady Jacqueline Kennedy was also in the room.
"It was a very few minutes because she was ushered out of there in her bloody pink dress," said Spier, who said he later heard that the first lady while in a state of shock handed one of the doctors what she said were pieces of her husband's brain.
Kennedy had been shot twice -- wounds to the neck and to the head, Spier said.
Spier said there was a possibility that Kennedy might have survived if he had only suffered the neck wound. In the trauma room, a doctor cradled the right side of the president's head, which was a mass of blood, bone shards and hair, he said.
"Everybody who was in that room knew that this guy was dead," Spier said. "They knew he was dead in their own heart."
Spier said that hospital staff at Parkland was experienced in handling trauma cases and doctors worked on the president as they would any other patient. "We saw tragedies like that, gunshot wounds, at Parkland all the time, usually on payday Fridays," Spier said.
Even if they knew Kennedy was dead, doctors kept working because "nobody in that residence staff was going to pronounce the president of the United States dead," Spier said. It was only about 15 minutes, but it felt much longer until the president was pronounced dead, he said.
Two days later, Spier was the anesthesiologist on the trauma team trying to save the life of Oswald, who had been shot in the chest by Jack Ruby. Spier said that a couple of groans by Oswald were the only signs of life before Oswald died.
"It couldn't have been a more lethal wound had it been drawn there by an expert," said Spier, who is mentioned on the record of medical staff in an appendix of the Warren Commission report on the Kennedy assassination.
"Personally, I don't know that I responded anymore dramatically than any citizen" to Kennedy's death, Spier said. "I was definitely shocked by the whole thing and sickened. But in the ensuing years, I don't know what to say about it, think I just became numb to it, I guess."
Spier, who is a graduate of El Paso High School, returned to El Paso in 1969. Spier said he generally agrees with the Warren Commission's finding that Oswald acted alone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there was no conspiracy," Spier told the audience. "Not by the CIA. Not by the Cubans. Not by the Soviet Union. Not by the FBI or anybody else. It was a single assassin with a single gun."

Family members say Johnny Smith had spent his Father's Day on a 4-wheeler. But when he came home Sunday night...police say he had also been drinking heavily.
"Apparently he was in an intoxicated state," said Ky. State Police Trooper Don Trsoper.
Neighbors say Smith has a big family..lots of kids...and police say Smith got into argument with one of his older daughters.
"As the family tried to leave the residence.and let things settle down, that's when he stepped out and fired a shot at the car," said Trooper Trosper.
Smith didn't hit the daughter he was angry with. Police say his younger, 13-year-old daughter was hit. Family members say the bullet hit her in the face.
Family members say the shooting was just an accident. They say Smith did not intend to hurt his own daughter.
Whether it was an accident or not...neighbors say the incident is a shocker...especially for a Father to so many kids to do this on a day set aside to being honored.
"I guess Father's Day is considered a holiday and you're wanting to have a good day and honor your father and an incident like this occurred.," said Trosper.

Coffelt seeks injunction to stay on V.I. ballot
Published: June 30, 2014
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
ST. CROIX - A federal judge on Friday took under advisement a request for a permanent injunction to prevent the V.I. Elections supervisor from disqualifying a gubernatorial candidate and her running mate because one candidate is no-party and the other is Republican.
District Judge Wilma Lewis at Friday's hearing spent hours probing, questioning attorneys for both sides on their positions, playing devil's advocate and delving into the nuances of words contained in V.I. Code.
Lewis' decision in the case will determine whether Soraya Diase Coffelt, a no-party candidate for governor, can run with Republican John Canegata as her running mate for lieutenant governor on the same ticket in this year's General Election.
In late May, Elections Supervisor Caroline Fawkes gave Coffelt a notice of defect because Canegata is a registered Republican.
The lawsuit was filed May 30 on behalf of Coffelt; Canegata, state chairman of the Republican party, who is running for that post again in the primary and also wants to run in the General Election as an independent candidate for lieutenant governor; and Ronald Charles, a voter.
Earlier this month, Lewis granted a temporary restraining order in the matter and now is considering whether to grant the permanent injunction.
At the heart of the case is the interpretation of two sections of V.I. Code about the nomination of candidates.
In Title 18, which is devoted to elections, two of the subchapters are about nominations - one dealing with nominations at primaries, which pertains to candidates nominated by political parties, and a different subchapter that deals with the nomination of independent candidates.
The position of the Elections System is that the two paths to nomination are mutually exclusive and that the law requires a candidate for office who is a registered member of a political party to go through the primary process, where party members choose their candidates. The Elections Systems contends that a registered Republican cannot run as a no-party candidate.
However, the position of the two candidates is that the two paths are not mutually exclusive, provided that certain conditions are met, including that those who lose the party primary cannot continue on in the race as no-party candidates.
The candidates' attorney, Andrew Simpson, contends nothing is in the law to prevent Canegata from running for lieutenant governor as a no-party candidate in the General Election.
In a brief supporting the candidates' position, Simpson argues that V.I. Code does not prohibit members of political parties from running as independent or "no party" candidates. He contends that Coffelt and Canegata have complied with the nomination requirements in the V.I. Code and no statutory basis exists to conclude that their nomination papers are defective.
Simpson also argued that even if the section of V.I. Code dealing with how independent candidates file for nomination prohibited members of political parties from running for office as independent or "no party" candidates, that requirement would comprise a "political test" for running for office and would therefore run afoul of a provision in the Revised Organic Act.
Assistant Attorney General Carole Thomas-Jacobs, representing the Elections System, argued in her brief that Canegata cannot run as an independent no-party candidate in the General Election when he is in fact registered as a Republican.
"As a member of the Republican party running for public office, Canegata must be nominated by party electors and elected at a primary," she wrote. She argued that a person who is registered as a Democrat or Republican who is seeking office "cannot surreptitiously change his party affiliation by declaring himself as running as an independent" without actually going through the process to cancel or change his party enrollment.
Thomas-Jacobs contended that allowing a registered party member to run as an independent would circumvent the primary process altogether.
However, discussion at the hearing suggested that there are ambiguities in V.I. Code, leaving open the possibility that the interpretations of both sides may have some validity. There was much discussion during the hearing centered on trying to divine legislative intent in the applicable statutes.
After a June 3 hearing, Lewis on June 6 granted the temporary restraining order. On June 18, she extended the order for 14 days, through July 4.
The judge queried the parties on Friday about their thoughts about another extension.
Simpson indicated that the pending court case is affecting his clients' ability to fundraise and said they hope for a ruling quickly, although he did not oppose an extension, if necessary.
Thomas-Jacobs, noting her client was off-island, said she could not say until she talked to Fawkes on Monday.
The plaintiffs are asking the judge to stop Fawkes from disqualifying the candidates, to clarify the law as it relates to running mates from different parties and to rule that the two candidates have met the requirements for placement on the ballot.

The Climate Change Leadership Institute is founded on a most challenging premise – that the United States of America can correct her mistakes and be at the forefront in achieving a sustainable way of life on earth. The act of taking responsibility is at the heart of the change we seek given that human-induced global warming poses a growing threat to the world and the US, the lead perpetrator of the problem, is only begining to change. When we compel our Nation to fully own up to this injustice and take unparalleled measures of climate restoration and restitution, genuine security and widespread prosperity will emerge. As we revolutionize our economy – to be powered completely with clean energy and state of the art energy efficiency with a premium on conservation – we will once again be a beacon of light to the world.
In carrying out the mission – to compel the US to take responsibility for our massive role in human-induced global warming by asserting bold leadership and providing seminal solutions – the Climate Change Leadership Institute adopts the following central organizing principles and approaches to change-making.

THE national U-17 football team is expected to return to the country Tuesday night and will head straight to camp in Njeru to prepare for the return leg of the 2015 African U-17 Championship qualifier.
The Uganda Cubs will play Seychelles in the return leg of the first round at Nakivubo War Memorial Stadium on Saturday, June 28.
FUFA had planned to release the team for three days' rest before they regroup for training but the technical director Asuman Lubowa said Tuesday morning that it would be risky because getting the players back in time for the return leg will not be easy.
"They (players) were supposed to rest but it is not a good idea especially because some of the players come from far. They will go straight to camp (Tuesday night) and rest on Wednesday," Lubowa said.
He said that FUFA would devise other means like paying them all that is due to them as a way of motivation to keep them focused on the return leg. Each of the players expects to get sh190000 for the 19 days they will be on national duty and $200 (sh500000) away-match bonus.
Uganda has better chances of advancing to the second round of the African U-17 Championship qualifiers after their 2-1 first leg victory in Seychelles last Saturday. The team needs any draw or a minimum of 1-0 loss in the return leg in Kampala to advance.
The winner of the clashes on aggregate will face Rwanda, who are already in the second round of the qualifiers. The Uganda Cubs are one of the 38 countries registered for qualifiers of the Africa U-17 Championship that will be held in Niger next year.

1120 SW Fifth Ave, Suite 600, Portland, OR 97204
Twice a year, drinking water utilities test high-risk homes for lead levels, drawing water samples which have been 'standing' in the pipes for several hours. Recent drinking water samples collected by regional water providers in the Bull Run service area show an elevated presence of lead (just over 15 parts per billion in some of the homes).
The major source of lead in the tap water of Portland homes is the corrosive action of water on plumbing components that contain lead, such as faucets and lead-based solder. By far the biggest sources of lead exposure are lead-based paint and lead-contaminated dust or soil, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 10 to 20 percent of a person's potential exposure to lead may come from drinking water.
Lead can cause serious health problems if too much enters your body from drinking water or other sources, especially for pregnant women and children 6 years and younger. It can cause damage to the brain and kidneys, and can interfere with the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen to all parts of your body.
Scientists have linked the effects of lead on the brain with lowered IQ in children. Adults with kidney problems and high blood pressure can be affected by low levels of lead more than healthy adults. Lead is stored in the bones and it can be released later in life. During pregnancy, the child receives lead from the mother's bones, which may affect brain development.
There are simple ways to reduce exposure to lead in water. If water has been standing in pipes for several hours, consumers can reduce lead exposure from plumbing by running their water until it is noticeably cold. Hot water is more corrosive than cold water, so it is more likely to contain lead – that's why it is important to use only cold water for cooking, drinking, and particularly when making baby formula or juice.
The Portland Water Bureau (PWB) has been treating Bull Run drinking water to make it less corrosive by raising the pH of the water, but in this round of tests the lead levels were over the level that triggers educational outreach (including this news release) and corrective actions.
"Ideally, all plumbing fixtures would be lead-free, but they aren't," said PWB Administrator David Shaff. "The next best option is to inform our customers, and provide them with the knowledge to protect themselves and their families."
There are steps customers can take to reduce their exposure to lead in your water:
To get your water tested for lead or for more information on reducing lead exposure around your home or building and the health effects of lead, contact the LeadLine at 503-988-4000, or visit their website at www.leadline.org.

The absolute most stunning statement of how messed up the state of California is emerged last week from the state director of finance, explaining why the proposed budget cuts fall so heavily on services for the poor. Let me quote directly from The New York Times:
"Government doesn't provide services to rich people," Mike Genest, the state's finance director, said on a conference call with reporters on Friday. "It doesn't even really provide services to the middle class.
"You have to cut where the money is," he added.
Um ... government doesn't provide services to rich people? What about, say, the roads they drive on, and the airports they fly in and out of? What about the vast sums the state spends putting out fires that threaten wealthy enclaves in Southern California? What about the public education system, which trains workers for businesses? What about the entire criminal justice system, which exists to a significant extent to prevent poor people from taking rich people's money?
Do you think Sergey Brin and Larry Page would have become Google billionaires if the Internet developed and paid for by the government didn't exist?
No. Federal, state, and local governments all spend money on services for the rich. And by and large, those services don't get cut when budgets are busted, and by and large, the rich don't pay their fair share for the services they get and by and large, nobody in politics talks about that when these nasty decisions get made.
It doesn't have to be this way. Let's just remember that as 900,000 kids lose their health insurance and California becomes, in the words of Mayor Gavin Newsom, the first state in the industrialized world to have no welfare system at all. It doesn't have to be this way.
Cutting services for the poor, as opposed to cutting things rich people want and need, or making them pay a tiny bit more to keep society stable, is a political choice.
The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees just put out a fascinating document looking at alternatives to the governor's cuts including a bunch of things that can be done without the two-thirds vote required to raise taxes. There are, for example, about $2.5 billion worth of useless and wasteful tax loopholes identified by AFSCME that could be closed (hurting the rich, helping the rest of us). That would save a lot of health and welfare programs.
San Francisco has choices, too. Downtown parking fees hit wealthier people; Muni fare hikes are a tax on the poor. A congestion management fee on downtown would overwhelmingly hit wealthier commuters; cuts in public health overwhelmingly hit the poor. The Tenderloin's Community Justice Center hurts low-income people (and helps rich tourists and the hotels scare away the homeless).
The thing that kills me is that some of us have been saying over and over for years and years that the city needs to develop a better tax system (which will require a public vote) to minimize these cyclical crises. And some of us have been pointing out that a public power system would generate several hundred million a year (and that private power is sucking $600 million a year out of the local economy).
Do we have to keep blundering from disaster to disaster? For how long?

They serve a full menu including burgers, homemade
green chile and biscuits and gravy. Any time of day
you get off work, we're pretty sure a place like
the Night Shift will be a welcome place to complain
about the work day, grub up and drink up.

If they made the tyres the opposite then average drivers would look good thats for sure.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—New Mexicans are bracing for an early blast of winter that's forecast to bring a foot of snow to the mountains and ice to the eastern plains.
The National Weather Service in Albuquerque says initial concerns are focused across the eastern plains.
They're likening the storm to a one-two punch, with the first wave coming Thursday night. It will be capable of producing a couple of inches of snow along the eastern half of the state and up to a foot in the high elevations of northern New Mexico.
Strong winds are expected to accompany the front over the plains.
Forecasters say the second punch will come over the weekend with more rain and snow for the plains. The winter weather is also expected to move into central and western New Mexico.
