Hubby's Mom had Strokes

Monday, September 30, 2013
I started a blog, but there was an emergency in my family, so by tonight when I got back to it, the computer deleted it. I hadn't started it on Word like I had been, so It was lost. I have to change what I was blogging about anyway.
My mother-in-law had a stroke! We were planning on taking her to Hawaii a week from today. She had noticed some drooling yesterday, never said anything. Then she woke up and saw that her lip was drooping. She still told no one. (she lives alone, a half hour away from me)This morning I tried to call her. Unusual for me to call her two days in a row, but I happened to think of her, I was going to talk to her about my concerns about the skin cancer surgery my dad was going through this morning. She didn't answer, but an hour later returned my call. When she tried to talk, all that came out were garbled words--I immediately recognized it as her having had a stroke. Adrenaline surged and I told her to unlock her door if she could, and I was going to hang up and call 911. I had to give them permission to break in if necessary. I met her at the hospital after calling my hubby and taking several deep breaths so I could drive safely.
Turns out the preliminary CT scan reveals several strokes. But the only one causing any symptoms is the one effecting speech and swallowing center of the brain. No other physical problems. She is in great spirits. She is impatient with herself for not being able to get her words out, but she has a great sense of humor and is laughing at herself. More tests tomorrow.
Hubby says we bought insurance for the trip, so we'll be able to change plans. He is so sure she'll be able to go soon. I'm more pessimistic and think he and I should just go ahead and go so I can meet Bj�rn. He wants to believe she'll be fine in a week to go! I don't think he has a hold of reality. His sister came from out of town to be with her. There is another sister who can come help too. So it wouldn't be a problem if we went, and I even think she wouldn't want us to hold off on our plans. But it's hard for her to express herself and i don't want to put words in her mouth
Today when I prepared to leave the house to go to the ER, I grabbed something to drink and two protein bars that I figured would have to do for lunch, since it was 11:30 when I left the house. I didn't get to eat again until 6. Had a Quizno's sandwich with hubby and my pregnant daughter who also showed up to cheer up gramma. Came home and I was still hungry so I made a bowl of oatmeal, raisins and blueberries. And a cookie for good measure.
Keep Mom in your prayers. If you remember my friend George (95) who died recently, he died from complications from having swallowing problems and aspiration pneumonia that originated with strokes. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Hi Lori. I just finished catching up on your most recent Blogs. Sorry that I have been out of touch while you have had so much going on. I will keep your MIL and the details of your travel plans in my prayers. Hopefully, you will know more soon.

*hugs* I hope she recovers quickly.... Make sure she keeps up with her physical therapy. My stepdad had a stroke last year on Christmas eve, and he's doing better now. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts!

My mom just had a stroke a month ago. I completely understand your panic. It was so scary since she had it on the phone while talking to her-slurred speech & hard for her to swallow. My relatives took her to the ER. MRI said one small stroke. The weeks to follow after effects were some leg pain (and TIREDNESS!) but that is better now although she gets sleepy often. What seemed to make a difference was that my moms medication is now always carefully taken and that she monitors her BP daily, It is very scary situation to go through -I'm glad you are doing ok,. Yes, remember to eat healthy and take care of yourself too. My thoughts are with you during this very concerned/unsure time. I hope your Mother in Law recovers soon...

I'm thinking good thoughts for your MIL, and for you and your husband. We went through a similiar situation with my father in law. These events can have such a big impact.
Take good care of yourself.

You're probably best to go on without your MIL. Even when she recovers speech she will probably have to have some therapy. After just a TIA my husband wasn't allowed to drive for 6 weeks and I don't think they'd have been happy with him travelling. I hope you all get through this without too much turmoil.

Sending prayers. I hope that you can still go on your trip next week. Perhaps the sisters can help. But if hubby is going to worry a lot while gone, you may want to postpone the trip since it won't be enjoyable.

text: Let me see if I've got this right. We all agree that children should be raised to be productive and compassionate adults. And one way is to provide an opportunity for teenagers to shoot large animals and then watch them die in agony, maybe even getting a chance to slit a throat or two. Surely such an exercise in adult-orchestrated brutality will help kids develop the sort of character to which we all aspire. And what of the wounded deer that die a slow, painful death? Are the supporters of this project unaware that most adult serial killers began their careers of torture and murder by abusing animals? It is hard to quarrel with a decision that excessive herds need to be thinned by game wardens or qualified expert adults who can with certainty dispatch an animal with one shot. But kids starting at the beginning will naturally have a high error rate, not to mention lapses in judgment, with animal (and possibly human) suffering being the likely result. As to bow-hunting: if we had to choose a way to die, how many of us would say, "I'd like to be stuck full of arrows." Most would consider that to be one of the worst possible deaths, a death by torture. Instead of more kids killing animals, let's kill this idiotic idea. WAYNE R. BARTZ, Meadow Vista

The agency has demonstrated eagerness to hide things for the best interests when instructed by the government or military. And that leads one to ask: What ELSE might they be covering up?

Seize the Night (1999)
by Dean Koontz
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Korey Jackson
SUMMARY: There are no rules in the dark, no place to feel safe, no escape from the shadows. But to save the day, you must...Seize the Night. At no time does Moonlight Bay look more beautiful than at night. Yet it is precisely then that the secluded little town reveals its menace. Now children are disappearing. From their homes. From the streets. And there's nothing their families can do about it. Because in Moonlight Bay, the police work their hardest to conceal crimes and silence victims. No matter what happens in the night, their job is to ensure that nothing disturbs the peace and quiet of Moonlight Bay.... Christopher Snow isn't afraid of the dark. Forced to live in the shadows because of a rare genetic disorder, he knows the night world better than anyone. He believes the lost children are still alive and that their disappearance is connected to the town's most carefully kept, most ominous secret�a secret only he can uncover, a secret that will force him to confront an adversary at one with the most dangerous darkness of all. The darkness inside the human heart.
What I remember from reading this book years ago still holds true. Typical Koontz fare: mystery, paranoia, conspiracy, philosophizing (overly much), and enough action to hold it all together...even if the ending does jump the shark.
Sequel to "Fear Nothing," in which Christopher Snow, his girlfriend Sasha Cohen, best friend Bobby Holloway and dog Orson confront the evil past of Christopher's mother and the evil future of Moonlight Bay.
Again, Koontz has created some fascinating characters that are nevertheless people I could meet, and would enjoy meeting, and put them into a plot full of horror, pain and labyrinthian twists. I re-read this every few years, and it's never lost its savor for me.
*Spoiler* The dog lives.
Koontz maintains the suspence in this second part of the trilogy which started with Fear Nothing. How long must we wait for the final part?
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (3)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0553580191, Mass Market Paperback)Chris Snow, the light-phobic, oddball hero of Dean Koontz's Fear Nothing, is once again caught in the middle of something ugly. The children (and pets) of Moonlight Bay, California, are disappearing. The first to go is Jimmy Wing, the son of Snow's former girlfriend, Lilly. Then Snow's own hyper-intelligent dog goes missing. Snow decides that he will find them, but what he uncovers is more than just a simple kidnapping; before he can turn back, he's up against an age-old vendetta, an active time machine, and a genetic experiment gone awry.
Seize the Night offers up the same eclectic mix of characters that appeared in Fear Nothing: boardhead Bobby, disc jockey Sasha, Snow, and all of their friends band together to find the missing kids and figure out why the people of Moonlight Bay are morphing into demonic versions of their former selves. They outsmart corrupt cops, outrun genetically enhanced monkeys, and outlive a time warp with a vengeance--all between nightfall and sunrise, the only time that Snow can be outside.
Though the premise is a little bit hard to believe, and the surf lingo occasionally irritating, Seize the Night is ultimately fun to read. Koontz successfully draws you in and keeps you entertained through an unexpected climax and an enlightening resolution. --Mara Friedman

Poet Christopher Snow, a man who cannot stand daylight, teams up with his genetically engineered dog, Orson, to investigate the abduction of children in Moonlight Bay, California. The children are believed to be prisoners in an army base populated by intelligent animals, produced by scientific experiments. Snow and Orson penetrate the base to search for them.

|ESPN.com: MLB Draft 2008
|[Print without images]
|Round 1
|Tampa Bay Rays
|Tim Beckham
|Griffin (Ga.) H.S.
|The Rays take the best overall player on the board. The system isn't particularly strong at middle infield, so if he stays at shortstop or moves to second, he'd probably be the second-best prospect in their system after David Price. His selection shows a willingness to think long term because they didn't go for a player like Buster Posey who could get to the majors quicker. Instead, they took the best player available.
|Pittsburgh Pirates
|Pedro Alvarez
|The pick makes sense for the Pirates, who have had a hard time developing power hitters and don't have a lot in their system. If Alvarez moved to first base, he'd have a clear path to the majors there. Same thing at third base. My only concern is that they didn't pick the best player on the board at this point. Justin Smoak would have made just as much if not more sense. But if everything clicks with Alvarez, the Pirates have a cleanup hitter for the next several years with 40-homer potential in the majors.
|Kansas City Royals
|Eric Hosmer
|American Heritage H.S.,
Plantation, Fla.
|Hosmer has the most raw power of anyone in the first round, but also has a very refined approach at the plate. He has very quick hands and good plate coverage. He has a hole in his swing middle in, but if pitchers try to pitch him inside, they'd better get it all the way inside. He can hit the ball out to left or left-center. I like his chances potentially to move to right field. He's a good athlete. He has plenty of arm to play right field. He gives the Royals a lot of flexibility.
|Baltimore Orioles
|Brian Matusz
|San Diego
|Probably the fastest moving starter in the draft. The Orioles have to consider moving him quickly through the system. Matusz has about four average or better pitches. Not a ton of projection here; he is today what he's going to be three or four years from now. His offspeed stuff is so good that he'll miss a lot of bats in the low minors and not have a chance to work on fastball command.
|San Francisco Giants
|Buster Posey
|Florida State
|Posey is the best catcher in the draft, and he is likely to move quickly. There is very little downside to Posey. Defensively, he can play in the big leagues right now. Catching is a glaring need for the Giants in their farm system. And Posey is one of the best makeup guys in the draft.
|Florida Marlins
|Kyle Skipworth
|Rubidoux H.S.,
Riverside, Calif.
|Skipworth has the potential to be a star behind the plate. Like Posey, he's only been playing the position for a short time, but he has a very strong arm. If he is able to stay behind the plate, he can be a superstar-caliber hitter. He gets his arms extended nicely, and his power will only increase with age. If he can't stay behind the plate, he could always move to another position. His bat will play well at first base or a corner outfield position.
|Cincinnati Reds
|Yonder Alonso
|Miami (Fla.)
|Alonso is the first surprise of the draft. It's a surprise because the Reds weren't linked to him and he's asking for $8 million and a major league deal. He's a left-handed power hitter with a very patient approach, and he should hit for quite a bit of power at Great American Ballpark. What does this mean for Joey Votto?
|Chicago White Sox
|Gordon Beckham
|He wasn't supposed to be available at this spot, so the White Sox must be thrilled. Beckham can play second base, but there's a good chance he stays at shortstop. He has tremendous baseball instincts. He'll probably move pretty quickly through the system. On the day he signs, he'll instantly become the best prospect in the organization.
|Washington Nationals
|Aaron Crow
|Crow is the top college pitcher on my board. He might have two plus pitches right now. He's a power pitcher who projects as a No. 2 starter. If he can sustain his velocity at the high end (low-mid 90s), he has a chance to be a No. 1 starter. He had good command throughout his college career.
|Houston Astros
|Jason Castro
|Castro didn't get to catch last year in the Cape Cod League because his team also had Posey. Castro was expected to go in the second half of the first round. He's a contact hitter; he will not hit for a lot of power. He's an average regular catcher in the big leagues. But I don't see him as a star. By the way, the next best college catcher in the draft is well below Castro.
|Texas Rangers
|Justin Smoak
|South Carolina
|This is the best pick in the draft so far. Smoak is the third-best player on my board. He's a switch-hitting Adrian Gonzalez with more power. In the Rangers' ballpark, he has a good chance to hit 40 home runs, if he develops. There are no major holes in his game. I saw this scenario possibly unfolding last night. A lot of things had to go right for them to get Smoak, and they did.
|Oakland Athletics
|Jemile Weeks
|Miami (Fla.)
|This is the riskiest pick so far. He can't play anywhere but second base in the infield, so he has to hit well enough to be a major league regular. He's a plus runner; he needs to be more contact-oriented with wood. With metal, he's too pull-oriented, so he'll have to adjust his approach. He has a better chance to be a plus defender at second base than his brother, Rickie Weeks.
|St. Louis Cardinals
|Brett Wallace
|Arizona State
|Wallace has the best pure bat in the college ranks. He will hit for average and power. He draws a ton of walks and is very disciplined. He works the count, not just for walks but also to get good pitches to hit in hitter's counts. He started to show a lot more power this year. Unlike a lot of lefty hitters, he's already shown an ability to hit left-handed pitching, which puts him ahead of other left-handed bats.
|Minnesota Twins
|Aaron Hicks
|Wilson H.S., Long Beach, Calif.
|In terms of tools, Hicks is one of the top three or four players in the draft. He's first-rounder as an outfielder and a pitcher. He is relatively unpolished, so he should take a long time to get to the majors. He's gotten by a lot on strength and bat speed for now. The Twins will have to work with him on his hitting approach. He has a chance to be a switch-hitting Andrew McCutchen, one of the top prospects in the minors.
|Los Angeles Dodgers
|Ethan Martin
|Stephens County H.S.,
Toccoa, Ga.
|The Dodgers reportedly drafted Martin as a pitcher. But he is a two-way player who came into the year as a potential first-rounder as a third baseman. He has a chance to be an above-average bat, but he didn't hit well at the beginning of the season. He likes to pitch, and he shut down American Heritage H.S. of Plantation, Fla., (the team of top prospects Eric Hosmer and Adrian Nieto) in February. He throws 91-95 mph, but I'm surprised the Dodgers would keep him as a pitcher because they tend to prefer guys with polish. He has arm strength, but not much polish.
|Milwaukee Brewers
|Brett Lawrie
|Brookswood SS, Langley, B.C.
|Lawrie made himself into a first-rounder during a strong two-month stretch with a wood bat this spring. He has a great swing that is very clean. He's out on his front foot a lot, so it's unclear if he'll hit for power unless that changes. His ultimate position is the biggest question. I'm generally not a fan of taking guys without a clear position in the first round, and that makes this pick very risky. But if can catch, it's potentially a high-reward pick too.
|Toronto Blue Jays
|David Cooper
|Cooper is a polished hitter who should hit for a high average. He's shown home run power with metal but not so much with wood. He's a solid defensive player at first base. I think the draft pool forced a change in direction. The Jays have gone with high school bats in the first round the last two years, but the type of polished high school hitter they like wasn't there for them at No. 17.
|New York Mets
|Ike Davis
|Arizona State
|The Mets said they wanted to focus on college bats with their first two picks, and Davis was probably the best hitter left on the board. His pitch recognition is good, and he has a clean swing once he gets it started. He has 30-plus homer power in the big leagues if everything clicks. He's also a good defender with a plus arm at first base.
|Chicago Cubs
|Andrew Cashner
|Texas Christian
|Cashner could get to the big leagues this year. On his best days, he has two pitches with a 60 grade. The slider is at 88 mph, and it's an out pitch. And he can run his fastball up to 98 mph. There's a question about his command; can he command his pitches? If he can, he can get to the big leagues right away as an impact relief pitcher.
|Seattle Mariners
|Josh Fields
|I'm surprised to see a team in last place take a reliever this high in the draft. Fields is up to 97 mph with his fastball and has a power curveball. If he can't get big league hitters out this year, he will next year. Philosophically, though, you would think the Mariners would go longer term with this pick instead of taking a reliever, who is more of a short-term solution with a shorter life span.
|Detroit Tigers
|Ryan Perry
|Perry touched 100 mph in the NCAA Regional last weekend. He was consistently at 94-98 mph on the Cape last summer. Arizona tried to make him a starter, but it didn't work. He has the best stuff of any closer prospect in the draft. Given the Tigers' bullpen situation, Perry might be the first player in the draft to make it to the majors this year.
|New York Mets
|Reese Havens
|South Carolina
|This is a great pick for the Mets. Havens makes all the plays at shortstop because he reads the ball off the bat so well. At the plate he has excellent pitch recognition and hand-eye coordination. If he has to move to second base because of the presence of Jose Reyes at shortstop, he has more than enough bat. Havens has a great approach and strong instincts, and he should move quickly through the Mets' system.
|San Diego Padres
|Allan Dykstra
|Wake Forest
|He's a big, strong first baseman with a chance to hit for power. His approach is pull-oriented; I have to see him use the whole field to believe he'll hit for average and to really profile offensively at first. He's no better than average at first base and can't play third. This was probably a Plan B pick because the player they wanted was Havens.
|Philadelphia Phillies
|Anthony Hewitt
|Salisbury (Conn.) H.S.
|Hewitt looks as good as anyone in a uniform in this year's draft. He's a five-tool package. He will put on a show in batting practice, but he's struggled in game situations against tough competition, like at the Area Code Games last summer. He projects more as a center fielder than as a shortstop. If everything clicks, he's a potential superstar. The problem is that he's about 4-6 years away unless he developmentally makes a quantum leap forward. He's high risk, potentially high reward.
|Colorado Rockies
|Christian Friedrich
|Eastern Kentucky
|Friedrich is the best pick relative to draft spot so far. He has a chance for four average or better pitches. His curveball is already among the best among college starters in the draft. He's added a cutter that is very effective against right-handed hitters. I'm a little concerned about his command and control, so he probably won't move as quickly as some other college arms in the first round.
|Arizona Diamondbacks
|Daniel Schlereth
|Schlereth is another college reliever who should be quick to the majors, even getting there this year. He has a plus fastball and breaking ball. He should wreck left-handed hitters in the big leagues. I had him ranked lower because he has a limited history. He blew out his elbow and had Tommy John surgery. He only came back to form over the last two months.
|Minnesota Twins
|Carlos Gutierrez
|Miami (Fla.)
|Now this is the biggest surprise of the first round so far. Gutierrez is another college closer whose fastball tops out at 94 with sink. But he doesn't have a viable second pitch, not even a breaking ball. I don't think a team should take a player with only one pitch in the first round. But the Twins have always had success with power arms out of their bullpen.
|New York Yankees
|Gerrit Cole
|Orange (Calif.) Lutheran H.S.
|This is a great pick; he fell to the Yankees for financial reasons. Cole has the best arm among the prep pitchers in the draft. He has a loose, quick arm. He has the best fastball of the high school pitchers; it tops out 97 mph. He needs more consistency on the breaking ball. And he needs to just throw his changeup instead of guiding it. He's a high-ceiling arm that could be a No. 1 starter. If that doesn't work, he could be a dominant reliever.
|Cleveland Indians
|Lonnie Chisenhall
|Pitt CC, Greenville, N.C.
|Chisenhall is not a first-rounder for me. It's a bet on his bat. He has a simple, clean swing and good bat speed, although his swing plane is flat (making it harder for him to hit for power) and his bat is in and out of the zone quickly. He doesn't currently have a position. He's shaky at third, and his bat might not profile there. I'd try him at second base; the Indians could also try him at catcher. But they have to find a position where his bat profiles better.
|Boston Red Sox
|Casey Kelly

|Kelly was announced as a shortstop, but he is a first-rounder as either a position player or a pitcher. On the mound, he throws 89-91 mph; he has command of his fastball and is very aggressive with it. He also has a plus curveball. At shortstop, he has good instincts and is natural and athletic. It's a big upside pick for the Red Sox, and he was the best player on the board at that point.

Adobe Drops 64-Bit Flash Support for Linux
"Making significant architectural changes" the official answer.
Adobe has discontinued 64-bit Flash 10.1 development for Linux stating that significant architectural changes were being made to the plugin that would add improved security.
"We are fully committed to bringing native 64-bit Flash Player for the desktop by providing native support for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux 64-bit platforms in an upcoming major release of Flash Player," Adobe wrote on their Adobe Labs site.
The 64-bit plugin was first made available for testing two years ago, but a finished, official 64-bit plugin never materialized. It's uncertain what caused this setback at Adobe, but speculation points to Adobe's focus on Flash 10.1.
Adobe gave no timetable for when it would begin development (or redevelopment) on a 64-bit plugin.

Confirmed case of measles in Orlando area
Published: Thursday, July 25, 2013 at 2:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 25, 2013 at 2:43 p.m.
ORLANDO, Fla. — The Orlando area has a confirmed case of measles.
Orange County health officials said Thursday that a British tourist was diagnosed with the highly-contagious illness.
The patient was exposed to measles in the United Kingdom before taking a trip to Florida.
Health officials say the patient visited numerous tourist attractions in central Florida last week.
They advise that anybody who develops a rash-like illness should seek medical care. Symptoms include a blotchy rash, fever, cough, runny nose and a run-down feeling.
Measles is rare in the United States but is still present in Europe, Asia and Africa.

Fergie's baby boy, Axl, and Snooki's son, Lorenzo.
As little girls, we're conditioned to play with silky-haired, rosy-cheeked dolls with names like Samantha or Marie-Grace, and to imagine what our own Samantha-Marie-Grace will look like one day. We rarely consider the perks of having a boy — after all, who would pass up sugar and spice and everything nice for frogs and snails and puppy dog tails? — but many moms might say that nothing compares to raising a son, especially if he's your firstborn.
Nicole Polizzi is one such mom, and in her latest Celebaby Report, she attempts to quell any potential longing pop superstar Fergie may still have for a lovely lady-lumped mini-me by listing off the many benefits of parenting a boy, including pimpin' loungewear and a broader understanding of Greek mythology.

« Autism and the Antarctic Ozone Hole | Main | Occupy the American Psychiatric Association In A Darker Dark Age »
This week VaxTruth's No Shots, No School... Not True!! billboards are on display in West Los Angeles. The non-profit has been raising funds for this project since August 2011. The decision to air the message in California was made in response to the targeted attacks over the last several months by the pro-vaccine lobby in their efforts to strip Californians of their parental and civil rights to decide what is (and is not) injected into their children.
The purpose of VaxTruth is to help parents to understand their rights and to empower them to make educated and informed decisions about vaccination. We started putting up billboards with the goal of combating the misinformation that frequently exists in mainstream media, which makes it seem like children MUST be vaccinated in order to attend school. In most states, this is just not true. All fifty states have medical exemptions and 48 have religious and/or philosophical exemptions. Unfortunately, in many places parents are not made aware of their legal right to opt-out of vaccinations and in some cases that results of parents making decisions about medical procedures because they feel forced to do so. We believe that's wrong.
In California, the law does not differentiate between religious and philosophical beliefs. They are treated as the same thing and are referred to as "personal belief" exemptions. Personal belief exemptions are currently under attack in California and parents in the state are facing the very real possibility that their personal and religious freedoms will be taken away if a new bill, AB2109 is signed into law.
AB2109 has already passed through the initial phase of the legislative process in California, and if it is to be defeated, California citizens need to act now. We are hoping that the Los Angeles billboards will catch the attention of more parents in the state and will help to raise the alarm that time is of the essence if they are to preserve their rights.
The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) and the grassroots organization, Californians Against AB2109 are spearheading the effort to combat the passage of AB2109, and VaxTruth wholeheartedly supports them in their mission. NVIC's Advocacy Portal is a great place for those who are concerned about AB2109 to receive timely updates about the bill and to obtain information about how they can become involved in the process.
Marcella Piper-Terry has a master's degree in psychology and has worked as a therapist and as a neuropsychological evaluator of children and adults. She has worked as a DAN provider and consultant assisting families employing biomedical interventions for their children. She is also the mother of a vaccine-injured child. She founded VaxTruth along with my colleagues, Megan and Spencer Pond in the fall of 2011.

I'm concerned about the state of the law in California right now, August 10, 2013. AB 2109 was passed and signed by Brown and now a letter from a physician (or equivalent) is necessary for the personal belief exemption. The bill says that it goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2014 so what's the status of the law right now, six months before that?
Is there no personal beliefs exemption today, August 2013? Is there only a medical exemption at this moment?
I really need this information.
Hey, that's Dr. Vinny, vax pusher for all--parents and consequences be damned.
Look--parents have the right to study vaccines, refuse them if they want to, and get on with life.
Once your child has autism, so many of the MDs suddenly disappear.
Wish we had refused your vaccine "program," doc.
Hey look, it's the pediatrician thug Vinny ranting and raving and seething about what he hates, hates, HATES the most in the entire world: parental rights when it comes to forced shots.
I wonder what makes Vinny more unhinged, more red in the face? Legal vaccine exemptions, or Dr. Wakefield? Bring up either topic and he'll lose his stack and make Offit's latest tantrum look like a conversation with the queen of England.
And no, Vinny, you do NOT have the right for your moronic bullying message to be at the top of the comment chain. Nice try, bud.
"California does not have a seperate Religious Exemption. Religion falls under the category of Personal or Philosophical Beliefs."
Isn't that how most anti-vax parents use the religious vaccine exemption? How many parents who claim a religious vaccine exemption are Christian Scientists? How many religions truly make refusing vaccines a core part of their teachings?
Ah, TY Sylvia. How things have changed. How things are changing. :(
Joy B: California does not have a seperate Religious Exemption. Religion falls under the category of Personal or Philosophical Beliefs. So AB 2109 infringes on religious beliefs, forcing parents to pay a doctor and TRY to obtain a signature in order to pursue an exemption on religious grounds. Most states that have a Philosophical Exemption Law ALSO have a seperate Relgious Exemption Law, but California does not. They are lumped together here under PBE - personal belief exemption.
Can you send the billboard downunder?
With our Government withdrawing "Family Tax Benefits" to any parent who has not vaccinated or kept their child/rens vaccinations up-to-date. Next will be the same threat (No shots, No School)!
Australian families have to realise that they can get their doctors to sign a "Conscientious Objection Form."
Doctors are reluctant to sign the form and there are stories surfacing that doctors are lecturing families calling them "irresponsible" for not vaccinating their child/ren.
My doctor did ("reluctantly") sign the form and I forwarded it to the appropriate authorities, however my "Family Tax Benefit" has not been reinstated.
Apparently, forms are being misplaced!!
And our motto is suppose to be "The Lucky Country!!"
Elizabeth Gillespie
"Pan's bill wouldn't compel foolish parents to vaccinate their children. The bill would merely require parents to require a piece of paper signed by a doctor, acknowledging their foolishness (in so many words). Not all doctors will sign the paper, which will make obtaining exemptions difficult for some parents."
United we can win with pharma-CDC cartels.
Didn't know where else to put this but "More Teens are Postponing Sex: Study" (Washington)." US teen birth rate is in steep decline, down 44% from 1990." I wonder if it's all due to "postponement", really, or if Gardasil and other environmental factors are at play. It just seems doubtful to me that in today's culture- when you see what's going on, that teens are really "postponing" sex.
Can't we all claim a religious exemption? For instance there is no way to prove or disprove whether or not someone is really a Christian Scientist.
Thank you for your courageous work! It seems like you are saying the one thing no one wants to have said out loud. At a recent autism organization meeting, I said why aren't we talking about vaccine exemptions. I was told we could lose our ability to meet in a hospital--the medical center would just throw us out! So mums the word, apparently. I was speaking with a woman, age 28, of Hispanic background recently--she says none of her friends or relatives who have lots of kids know there is such a thing as an exemption. She is very bright, does yoga, eats very healthy and still has never heard anything about the possibility of an exemption. People feel very powerless, bullied and bossed.
Thank for this billboard campaign! Let's hope this leads many to learn more, particularly about vaccine injury and lacking safety oversight.
I have written and plan to call my senator. She may already be on board, as she voted against AB 499. I noticed two Democrats who also voted against AB 499.
Would an educational approach, maybe listing vaccine risks we as parents were not informed of by mainstream physicians (often because the research came after) help more legislators see that this legislation is not likely to increase vaccine education and vote against the measure?
Can we ask those testifying in support of this measure to explain why basic safety research with true control groups are not performed prior to vaccine administration? Why testing of recommended vaccine combinations have not been done? Why the entire schedule has not been studied for cumulative risk? Those promoting the product should be able to demonstrate it's safety, not just proclaim a belief of safety, but the research has not been done!
Marci, thanks for writing this for us and for your fresh and powerful ideas on fighting back. by the way, i'd love to try out the SF Saloon and Grille in photo number two!
Nice to see some signs up... my sign would be
The Vaccine Industry, the CDC, the AAP & your baby....
"Three wolves and a lamb trying to figure out what is for dinner"
Thank you Marcella!
We need everyone in on this if we hope to defeat this bill. Please everyone: if you think we can do this without you, you are wrong. We are up against tremendous odds, but the will of the people can prevail if we all speak up NOW.
Get involved, share the info. Write, call and VISIT your Senators. WE CAN DO THIS.

Online: An employee who has been stiffed on wages can complain to the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement by filling out a form at utsandiego.com/stiffed.
Process: That starts a several-months-long process through the labor board in which the employer can defend itself.
So, you hate your new job. Your boss is mean, and you've just about had enough.
It's only your first week, but you've about reached the tipping point. On Friday, you just flat out leave.
Oh, well.
But hey, you need to collect on those four other days you worked. But your now ex-boss is ignoring your requests for the money from Monday through Thursday. You're getting stiffed.
What can you do?
California law says you still need to get paid, said Dan Eaton, an employment attorney at San Diego law firm Seltzer Caplan McMahon Vitek.
"An employee is entitled to all hours he or she works," he said. "An employee does not lose the right to be paid for hours already worked by walking off the job."
Eaton said an employer has 72 hours to pay the employee for all of his or her past work once the worker quits, even if unexpectedly. Otherwise, Eaton said the unpaid worker is entitled to the unpaid wages, plus one day of pay for every day he or she remains unpaid for up to 30 days.
The California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement enforces the penalty.

@chapter Using an External Client Widget
There are three different implementations of the external client widget.
One is designed for use in Motif applications and is linked with the
option @code{-lextcli_Xm}. Another is designed for non-Motif
applications that still use the X toolkit; it is linked with the option
@code{-lextcli_Xt}. The third is designed for applications that do not
use the X toolkit; it is linked with the option @code{-lextcli_Xlib}.
In order to use an external client widget in a client program that uses
the X toolkit (i.e. either of the first two options described above),
simply create an instance of widget type ExternalClient and link your
program with the appropriate library. The corresponding header file is
called @file{ExternalClient.h}.
Documentation still needs to be provided for using the raw Xlib
version of the external client widget.
The external client widget will not do anything until an instance of
Emacs is told about this particular widget. To do that, call the
function @code{make-frame}, specifying a value for the frame parameter
@code{window-id}. This value should be a string containing the decimal
representation of the widget's X window ID number (this can be obtained
by the Xt function @code{XtWindow()}). In order for the client program
to communicate this information to Emacs, a method such as sending a
ToolTalk message needs to be used.
Once @code{make-frame} has been called, Emacs will create a frame
that occupies the client widget's window. This frame can be used just
like any other frame in Emacs.
@node External Client Widget Resource Settings, Motif-Specific Info About the External Client Widget, Using an External Client Widget, Top
@chapter External Client Widget Resource Settings
The external client widget is a subclass of the Motif widget XmPrimitive
and thus inherits all its resources. In addition, the following new
resources are defined:
@table @samp
@item deadShell (class DeadShell)
A boolean resource indicating whether the last request to the
ExternalShell widget that contains the frame corresponding to this
widget timed out. If true, no further requests will be made (all
requests will automatically fail) until a response to the last
request is received. This resource should normally not be set by the
@item shellTimeout (class ShellTimeout)
A value specifying how long (in milliseconds) the client should wait
for a response when making a request to the corresponding ExternalShell
widget. If this timeout is exceeded, the client will assume that the
shell is dead and will fail the request and all subsequent requests
until a response to the request is received. Default value is 5000,
or 5 seconds.
@end table
The shell that contains the frame corresponding to an external client
widget is of type ExternalShell, as opposed to standard frames, whose
shell is of type TopLevelShell. The ExternalShell widget is a direct
subclass of Shell and thus inherits its resources. In addition, the
following new resources are defined:
@table @samp
@item window (class Window)
The X window ID of the widget to use for this Emacs frame. This is
normally set by the call to @code{x-create-frame} and should not be
modified by the user.
@item deadClient (class DeadClient)
A boolean resource indicating whether the last request to the
corresponding ExternalClient widget timed out. If true, no further
requests will be made (all requests will automatically fail) until a
response to the last request is received. This resource should
normally not be set by the user.
@item ClientTimeout (class ClientTimeout)
A value specifying how long (in milliseconds) the shell should wait
for a response when making a request to the corresponding ExternalClient
widget. If this timeout is exceeded, the shell will assume that the
client is dead and will fail the request and all subsequent requests
until a response to the request is received. Default value is 5000,
or 5 seconds.
@end table
Note that the requests that are made between the client and the shell
are primarily for handling query-geometry and geometry-manager requests
made by parent or child widgets.
@node Motif-Specific Info About the External Client Widget, External Client Widget Internals, External Client Widget Resource Settings, Top
@chapter Motif-Specific Info About the External Client Widget
By default, the external client widget has navigation type
The widget traversal keystrokes are modified slightly from the standard
XmPrimitive keystrokes. In particular, @kbd{@key{TAB}} alone does not
traverse to the next widget (@kbd{Ctrl-@key{TAB}} must be used instead),
but functions like a normal @key{TAB} in Emacs. This follows the
semantics of the Motif text widget. The traversal keystrokes
@kbd{Ctrl-@key{TAB}} and @kbd{Shift-@key{TAB}} are silently filtered by
the external client widget and are not seen by Emacs.
@node External Client Widget Internals, , Motif-Specific Info About the External Client Widget, Top
@chapter External Client Widget Internals
The following text is lifted verbatim from Ben Wing's comments in
This is a special Shell that is designed to use an externally-
provided window created by someone else (possibly another process).
That other window should have an associated widget of class
ExternalClient. The two widgets communicate with each other using
ClientMessage events and properties on the external window.
Ideally this feature should be independent of Emacs. Unfortunately
there are lots and lots of specifics that need to be dealt with
for this to work properly, and some of them can't conveniently
be handled within the widget's methods. Some day the code may
be rewritten so that the embedded-widget feature can be used by
any application, with appropriate entry points that are called
at specific points within the application.
This feature is similar to the OLE (Object Linking & Embedding)
feature provided by MS Windows.
Communication between this shell and the client widget:
Communication is through ClientMessage events with message_type
EXTW_NOTIFY and format 32. Both the shell and the client widget
communicate with each other by sending the message to the same
window (the "external window" below), and the data.l[0] value is
used to determine who sent the message.
The data is formatted as follows:
data.l[0] = who sent this message: external_shell_send (0) or
external_client_send (1)
data.l[1] = message type (see enum en_extw_notify below)
data.l[2-4] = data associated with this message
EventHandler() handles messages from the other side.
extw_send_notify_3() sends a message to the other side.
extw_send_geometry_value() is used when an XtWidgetGeometry structure
needs to be sent. This is too much data to fit into a
ClientMessage, so the data is stored in a property and then
extw_send_notify_3() is called.
extw_get_geometry_value() receives an XtWidgetGeometry structure from a
extw_wait_for_response() is used when a response to a sent message
is expected. It looks for a matching event within a
particular timeout.
The particular message types are as follows:
1) extw_notify_init (event_window, event_mask)
This is sent from the shell to the client after the shell realizes
its EmacsFrame widget on the client's "external window". This
tells the client that it should start passing along events of the
types specified in event_mask. event_window specifies the window
of the EmacsFrame widget, which is a child of the client's
external window.
extw_notify_init (client_type)
When the client receives an extw_notify_init message from the
shell, it sends back a message of the same sort specifying the type
of the toolkit used by the client (Motif, generic Xt, or Xlib).
2) extw_notify_end ()
This is sent from the shell to the client when the shell's
EmacsFrame widget is destroyed, and tells the client to stop
passing events along.
3) extw_notify_qg (result)
This is sent from the client to the shell when a QueryGeometry
request is received on the client. The XtWidgetGeometry structure
specified in the QueryGeometry request is passed on in the
EXTW_QUERY_GEOMETRY property (of type EXTW_WIDGET_GEOMETRY) on the
external window. result is unused.
In response, the shell passes the QueryGeometry request down the
widget tree, and when a response is received, sends a message of
type extw_notify_qg back to the client, with result specifying the
GeometryResult value. If this value is XtGeometryAlmost, the
returned XtWidgetGeometry structure is stored into the same property
as above. [BPW is there a possible race condition here?]
4) extw_notify_gm (result)
A very similar procedure to that for extw_notify_qg is followed
when the shell's RootGeometryManager method is called, indicating
that a child widget wishes to change the shell's geometry. The
XtWidgetGeometry structure is stored in the EXTW_GEOMETRY_MANAGER
5) extw_notify_focus_in (), extw_notify_focus_out ()
These are sent from the client to the shell when the client gains
or loses the keyboard focus. It is done this way because Xt
maintains its own concept of keyboard focus and only the client
knows this information.

CFP: Critical Survey special issue on Victorian Science
full name / name of organization:
Peter Katz
contact email:
The journal Critical Survey seeks submissions of completed 4000-5000 word articles exploring literary engagements with Victorian sciences. From Darwin, to physiology, to pre-Freudian psychology, to engineering and technology, and beyond, Victorian Britain experienced rapid change – but often seemed ambivalent about whether, as Robert Browning's Andrea del Sarto puts it, "man's reach should exceed his grasp." This peer-reviewed, special issue of Critical Survey will explore the relationship between literature (all genres and forms acceptable) and science in Victorian Britain through:
•rhetorical analyses of Victorian scientific texts (i.e. Darwin's Plots)
Scientific topics may include, but are not limited to: biology, physiology, anatomy, chemistry, physics, psychology, sociology, techniques of classification, technological developments.
Please send inquiries and completed 4000-5000 word essays to Peter Katz at firstname.lastname@example.com. Articles are due by 1 October 2014, with the intent to publish in the first half of 2015.

Following Part 3 of the Season 6 Reunion of the Real Housewives of Atlanta on Sunday, May 4, Porsha Stewart stopped by the Bravo Clubhouse for a very special one-on-one with Andy Cohen. Since Porsha ended up leaving the reunion taping early after her altercation with Kenya Moore, Andy had a lot to talk about with her.
After addressing the biggest issue on the table, her physical fight with Kenya, Andy got Porsha's take on several of the topics discussed over the course of the three-part reunion. Among the controversies was the alleged sexting scandal between Kenya and Phaedra Parks's hubby, Apollo Nida.
When Andy asked Porsha to weigh in with her theories, she surprised him by revealing that she thinks something did happen between Apollo and Kenya.
"I definitely think something inappropriate took place," she said, explaining, "There's some fire there. That much smoke… something's there."
Porsha goes on to add that what she didn't understand was why Kenya kept the problem rolling after Phaedra appeared to let it go.
"What I feel though, whatever it was, it was done a couple of years ago and I think that Kenya may have just wanted it to keep living for some reason. I don't know why after she had the conversation with Phaedra, it had to continue where she then had to go talk to Apollo," Porsha told Andy.
In other words, if Phaedra had moved on from the situation, Porsha doesn't see why Kenya felt a need to approach Apollo in Mexico and bring the drama back to the forefront.
Do you agree with Porsha? Sound off below!

I've been keeping dibs on Brooklyn outfit Conveyor for awhile now, first becoming intrigued by their sound with their jam "Mukraker". I've since been subjected to the entirety of their upcoming debut LP and it's full of quirky, experimental pop that teeters on the glamorous side. The group has roots in Florida, which is funny considering we love bands like Hundred Waters, Levek, and Holiday Shores that all have their own unique takes on pop. What's going on down there?
"Woolgatherer" is a great summertime track, blending up-and-down harmonies with punchy percussion as well as scorching sunshine and afternoon thunderstorms. The vocals remind me of Brooklyn's ARMS and the snap-crackle percussion/harmony tango of juvenile Animal Collective. Can't wait to see these guys live, snag some vinyl til then.

Sony Introduces VAIO Pro 11/13 Ultrabooks and VAIO Duo 13 Hybridby Jarred Walton on June 4, 2013 11:45 PM EST
We're now on the third iteration of Intel's Ultrabook strategy, and with Haswell's launch now behind us we'll be seeing a lot of new laptops and Ultrabooks with the new CPUs. After some early missteps, we're hopeful that this will be the proverbially charming third time. Acer and ASUS have shown off some of their offerings, and now it's time to look at what Sony is up to.
Sony has always had a penchant for ultraportables (you know, what they were called before they became Ultrabooks), and laptops like the VAIO Z series have impressed with the amount of hardware crammed into a small chassis. With Intel's new focus on improving integrated graphics performance, the days of requiring a discrete GPU for "fast enough" graphics performance may finally be drawing to a close, which gives companies like Sony the ability to create even smaller designs. That brings us to today's launch of the VAIO Pro 11 and 13, along with the next generation VAIO Duo 13 Slider.
Given their background in the home theater industry, you would expect Sony to know a thing or two about building high quality displays and speakers. Sadly, their storied history doesn't always yield the best experience, and like other OEMs Sony has been involved in the race to the bottom that has played over the past five to ten years in the laptop space. Thankfully, the VAIO Pro line looks to buck that trend and Sony's press release makes note of the Full HD 1080p panels with TRILUMINOS displays that create rich colors and offer a wider color range. There's no specific discussion of what panel technology is being used—we've seen both TN and IPS 1080p panels from Sony in the past, but hopefully the marketing materials end up translating into an improved visual experience.
In terms of specifications, Sony hasn't given the full rundown of the VAIO Pro laptops, but what we do know is that they'll tip the scales at a scant 1.92 lbs. and 2.34 lbs. for the 11 and 13 inch models, respectively, making these two of the lightest laptops around. Like the VAIO Z series, Sony is using a carbon fiber casing on the VAIO Pro, with an aluminum palm rest. Sheet batteries are available for both models, boasting up to 14 hours of battery life on the Pro 11 and 13 hours on the Pro 13—double what the integrated batteries provide. The Pro 13 will also be the first notebook PC to include a PCIe SSD drive to potentially offer even more performance than standard SSDs, though as we know from our SSD reviews there's more to a fast SSD than the interface speed. The Pro 13 also features a touchscreen, while it appears for now the Pro 11 will not.
In a slightly different vein, the VAIO Duo 13 takes over for the previous generation VAIO Duo 11 as a hybrid Ultrabook/tablet. It also uses a carbon fiber shell and weighs 2.93 lbs. Despite the larger screen dimensions, Sony says they have minimized the bezel to maximize the viewing experience, and the Duo 13 is nearly the same size as the Duo 11. Also updated with the Duo 13 is the "Surf Slider" design, with a slimmer hinge and one-handed transitioning between tablet and laptop modes.
Other features of the Duo 13 include the return of the active digitizer stylus that can be stored on the side of the PC. Capacitive touch interfaces are great for some things, but when it comes to writing and drawing an active digitizer and stylus are still the ones to beat. Sony also touts a new Exmor RS image sensor and an 8MP rear-facing camera on the Duo 13, which Sony claims is capable of functioning as an image scanner if necessary with their CamScanner application providing the ability to adjust for pictures taken at odd angles.
All of the above Ultrabooks feature full-size backlit keyboards with full-pitch key travel, which is always good to hear but we'll reserve judgment until we've personally typed on the laptops. Sony is also including NFC (Near Field Communication) technology in their new 2013 summer models, allowing for the quick sharing of website data and Bluetooth configuration between supported devices. SSDs are options on all of the above models, but we don't have details on the capacities or price points yet, and CPUs up to Core i7 will also be supported. The laptops come standard with a one-year warranty with in-home service.
Pricing of the laptops starts at around $1150 for the VAIO Pro 11 and $1250 for the Pro 13, and they should be available starting June 9 in Carbon Black or Carbon Silver. (Or if I read the press release wrong, it's $1150 for Carbon Black and $1250 for Carbon Silver.) The VAIO Duo 13 will also be available starting June 9 in Carbon While or Carbon Black for around $1400.

FRESNO — With an exuberant yell, Madera South cross country coach Rich Parris was able to let out 14 years of waiting.
In those 14 years, Parris built a foundation of success at not one, but two Madera schools. After winning five Central Section championships at Madera, Parris set his sights on Madera South. Call it the perfect combination of coach and athletes. Parris aimed for state gold and his runners did everything their coach asked.
Parris' Stallions teams won six straight Central Section championships — two each at Div. III, Div. II and Div. I — but had yet to see the podium at the state meet, reserved for the top three teams in the state.
After the Div. I runners crossed the finish line Saturday at the CIF State Cross Country Championships, Parris called his best friend, who was near the finish line and could see the results...

(By Rich Bieglmeier) Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (APOG) is expected to report earnings before the market opens on Wednesday, December 19, 2012. Wall Street anticipates that APOG will earn $0.23 for its 3rd quarter. iStock expects the industrial goods maker will report earnings that will exceed Wall Street's consensus number. The iEstimate is $0.30 – a 7 cents upside surprise.
Apogee Enterprises is distinctive value-added glass solutions for enclosing commercial buildings and framing art. The company engineers, fabricates and installs the walls of glass and windows that enclose buildings. For picture framing, their glass reduces reflectivity and fading from sunlight.
[Related -Stocks End Higher After Jobless Claims Drop; Tesla (TSLA) Gains]
In the past four years, being on the right side of the earnings trade for APOG has been easy. Eighty-five percent of the time, the stock price follows the side of the surprise. When the building materials company announced earnings that topped Wall Street's estimate, the stock made shareholders happy 11 out of 12 bullish surprises with an average gain of 6.28%. Three of the four bearish surprises trimmed the stock by 5.40%.
In its second quarter, margins increased as APOG's 2012 cost of sales fall to 82.3% of revenues from 2011's 85.7%; meanwhile, selling, general and administrative expenses dropped to 17.1% from 17.9% year-over-year. Wall Street will be looking to see if the trend continues.
Interested investors will also keep an eye on Apogees' backlog. Three months ago,
[Related -Futures Mixed Amid Claims Data; Fortinet (FTNT) Tumbles]
backlog grew to $243.9 million, compared to $238.4 million at February 26, 2011. Despite "soft market conditions," backlog and sales increased 13.7%. With construction making a comeback, wind may have shifted to tail form head.
iStock also likes the fact that inventory grew at a much slower pace than sales at 4.4% and accounts receivables actually dropped. Typically, these are signs of good earnings to come.
According to our take on APOG's stock chart, the stock is poised to roll if eps go the right way. We see a flag or pennant pattern where shares shot up and fluctuated, slightly lower as the range between tops and bottoms shrink. Earnings will be the point that determines the stock's next move. A positive surprise should put the stock beyond $25. A swing and a miss, and the stock falls to $21ish.

Tuesday Jan. 27, 2009
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Former Georgia standout Hines Ward is listed as questionable for the Super Bowl, but he says he's walking around fine with a sprained knee and he will play Sunday night.
He's been so committed to his rehabilitation program since getting hurt in the AFC championship game on Jan. 18, he worked out before the Steelers took a Monday morning flight to Tampa.
Ward hopes to take part Thursday in what will be the Steelers' final, full-scale practice. Before then, he'll have some additional help with his rehab.
Ward shipped a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to the team hotel -- yes, just like the device Michael Jackson once used. Ward believes it stimulates the production of red blood cells. He thinks it will hasten his recuperation from the same type of injury that sidelined running back Willie Parker for a month this season.

Maryland election 2010: Kratovil stumping for votes
Freshman Rep. Frank Kratovil started the day as the most endangered congressional incumbent in Maryland. He'll end it either as a re-elected representative or a lame duck.
Gus Sentementes filed this report from Kratovil's day:
Frank Kratovil arrived at the Fallston Diner eager to shake hands and have a cheeseburger. The 1st District Democratic incumbent had been up since 6 a.m., and visiting poll locations all morning.
"Everybody agrees it's going to be close," Kratovil said.
Accompanying him were his four well-behaved young sons, and his 3-month old daughter held by his wife. He entered the diner about 12:30 p.m. and shook hands with several seated patrons, and then sat down with his family, press secretary and driver at tables in a corner. Every few minutes, he popped up from his seat to greet new diners as they entered.
Tim Alston, 37, was surprised to see Kratovil, but the Democratic voter was happy to shake his hand. Alston, a maintenance worker, was eating at the diner counter, and declared to a reporter that he had already voted, including for Kratovil. "If those Republicans get back in, we're in trouble," Alston said.
Kratovil appeared relaxed and smiled frequently. He said that he had done his best in the run-up to the election. "I'm not sure what else I could have done to demonstrate to voters" his qualifications, he said.
"I tend to be more relaxed on election day than any other day," Kratovil said.
For lunch, Kratovil ordered a cheeseburger deluxe, cooked medium, with mayonnaise and fries, and a Diet Coke.
He had spent the morning visiting poll locations in Annapolis and Phoenix. His afternoon schedule includes stops in Phoenix, Abingdon and Pasadena.

San Antonio.- ARTS San Antonio welcomes the Grammy-award-winning pianist Chucho Valdés to San Antonio. The "New York Times" called this living legend, "One of the world's greatest virtuosic pianists." Valdés will perform at the newly renovated Lila Cockrell Theatre on Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 7:30 p.m.
Valdés' illustrious career garnered him five Grammy wins, with the most recent for Best Latin Jazz Album for "Chucho's Steps." His style has been described as "expansive and curious." The artist is one of the few jazz musicians residing in Cuba to have a strong American following and in the Latin and jazz communities, Valdés is revered as one of Cuba's greatest jazz pianists.
Born in Quivicán, Cuba, in 1941, Valdés is a pianist, bandleader, composer and arranger. He started his music training with his father, famed pianist Bebo Valdés, whose' style melds diverse experiences and skills: classical, jazz, bop, Cuban and swing, all combined by his virtuosic dexterity on the piano.
Chucho Valdés is also well known for founding the influential jazz-pop band Irakere in 1972. Valdés continues to develop unique works of art, generating ideas that call for subtle changes of style, orchestral formats and concepts.
Valdés' talents combined with those of the five members who comprise the Afro-Cuban Messengers Quintet dazzle all music lovers. The Messengers perform with a technical brilliance that has no real equal – and their work is underscored with the African percussive rituals that stand at the very root of jazz. The result is a stand-up set that will be remembered as a signature performance in San Antonio.
Tickets are still available by calling (800) 745-3000 or by visiting www.Ticketmaster.com or any Ticketmaster outlet. For information about performances or to purchase discounted group tickets for groups of ten or more, call ARTS SA at (210) 226-2891, visit 418 10th Street, San Antonio or visit www.ArtsSA.org.
