Etta James was a pioneer. Through a career that spanned more than six decades, James' raw, unharnessed voice crossed genres, with Fifties hits such as "The Wallflower" and "Good Rockin' Daddy" cementing her role in the genesis of rock and roll alongside Chuck Berry, Ray Charles and Little Richard, and her soulful pop and blues explorations of the Sixties ranking with the works of Dinah Washington and Billie Holiday. She continued to make her mark through 2011, with a string of award-winning, critically acclaimed releases that showcased her unique style.
James was born Jamesette Hawkins in Los Angeles in 1938. Although brought up in the church singing in the gospel choir, she was drawn to rhythm and blues, and rock and roll, and by her mid-teens had formed a vocal trio named the Creolettes that worked up an answer song to Hank Ballard's "Work With Me Annie" entitled "Roll With Me Henry." The trio caught the attention of bandleader Johnny Otis, who arranged for the group to record "Roll With Me Henry" (retitled as "The Wallflower") for Modern Records. Released with the group renamed the Peaches, "The Wallflower" topped the R&B chart for four weeks in 1955. James toured the R&B circuit with Otis and other artists and recorded for Modern Records until 1958.
James' solo career really started to take shape in 1960, when Leonard Chess signed her to record for his namesake record label, and Chess subsidiaries Argo and Checker. Her talent was nurtured by producer Ralph Bass and mentor Harvey Fuqua (of the Moonglows). James crossed over to the pop market as an interpreter of soulful, jazz-tinged ballads such as "At Last," "All I Could Do Was Cry," "My Dearest Darling," "Trust in Me" and "Don't Cry, Baby," which she sang without sacrificing her bluesy and churchy vocal mannerisms. In the latter half of the decade, James recorded with producer Rick Hall at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where she adopted a grittier, Southern-soul edge that resulted in "Tell Mama" and "I'd Rather Go Blind," both tracks that remain among the most incendiary vocal performances of the era. All told, James launched 30 singles onto the R&B singles chart and placed a respectable nine of them in the pop Top 40 as well. After an ongoing struggle with heroin addiction and a series of abusive relationships, James re-signed with Chess in 1973. Five years later, she opened a number of concerts for longtime fans the Rolling Stones, and recorded Deep in the Night with producer Jerry Wexler, who called James "the greatest of all modern blues singers... the undisputed Earth Mother."
In 1984, James sang "When the Saints Go Marching In" at the opening of the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, and through the late Eighties and Nineties remained active on the touring and recording fronts, cutting the Grammy-nominated albums Seven Year Itch in 1988 and Stickin' to My Guns in 1990, and reuniting with Jerry Wexler to record 1992's The Right Time with the simpatico Southern-soul musicians at Muscle Shoals Recording Studios. In 1993, James was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a year later she recorded Mystery Lady: Songs of Billie Holiday for the Private Music label. The tribute album earned James a Grammy Award, and she recorded more than half a dozen albums for Private through 2003, including Love's Been Rough on Me, Matriarch of the Blues and Let's Roll. Her last album, The Dreamer, appeared in November 2011.
"Jerry Wexler called me one day on the phone and says: 'Etta, this is Jerry, Jerry Wexler, calling from New York,'" recalled James at the 1993 Hall of Fame Inductions. "He says, 'Hey Etta, you know what your problem is? You're neither fish nor fowl.' So, we know now what am I, right? I'm rock and roll."

Great location - 5 mins from tube/rail/bus stations
Friendly staff - treated you as a person not just a number

Good Location and Amenities
10 April 2016
Conveniently located near the Vauxhall station with easy access to all of London through the underground. Well-equipped rooms and very helpful staff. Recognition of IHG status.
Missing photo ID
10 April 2016
During my checkin I was asked for my passport. This is the first time I have been asked for a passport within the UK.
I only had a drivers license on me as I had no need for a passport for travel purposes.
I offered my drivers license which was taken away and I did not get it back.
Once I was up in the room I realised that my drivers license was missing so I returned to check in. They looked at my file and it was not there.
They checked the photocopier and it was still left there with a paper copy.
It was handed back to me with no apology other than " my colleague made a mistake". It was not clear which mistake he was referring to.
A very poor performance overall but I will say in fairness, it is not typical of a Staybridge location.

With a genre-spanning catalog that straddles the country, folk and rockabilly canon, and more than 400 songs that tapped into a homespun narrative about the lives of coal miners, sharecroppers, Native Americans, prisoners, cowboys, renegades and family men, Johnny Cash – "the man in black" – is a country music legend and a voice beloved by millions. Cash's rugged sensibility has influenced generations: From his 1956 two-sided hit "So Doggone Lonesome"/"Folsom Prison Blues" (Number Four on the Billboard charts) to 1969's "A Boy Named Sue" from Johnny Cash at San Quentin (Number Two on the charts); to his critically acclaimed American Recordings (produced by Rick Rubin and released in 1994) to 2002's American IV: The Man Comes Around, featuring a stirring cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt." Cash, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, passed away a year after American IV's release, on September 12, 2003 at the age of 71.
Cash was born in Kingsland, Arkansas, on February 26, 1932, amid the trying environment of the Great Depression. As a child, his humble beginnings found him working in the cotton fields of Dyess, Arkansas, where his family had moved when he was three years old. Eventually, Cash heeded the call to roam, laboring at an auto plant in Detroit, serving in the Air Force at a base in Germany and working as an appliance salesman in Memphis. Cash's life as a musician gained traction in Memphis as one of the first signees to Sam Phillips' Sun Records in 1955. Cash became part of an elite club of rock and roll pioneers at Sun that included Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis. The four were collectively referred to as "the Million Dollar Quartet" after an impromptu gathering and jam session at the Sun recording studio on December 4, 1956. What Cash and his group, the Tennessee Two, brought to the "Sun Sound" was a spartan mix of guitar, standup bass and vocals that served as an early example of rockabilly. One early Sun recording, "I Walk The Line," was among his first Number One country hits and his first appearance on the national pop singles charts.
Throughout his career, Cash's travels informed the inspired candor of his songwriting and quite literally took his music cross-country. For more than two decades, his JC Unit One touring bus transported he and his wife June, along with a cast of characters that came together for various tours, including the 1991 Highwayman Tour with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson. "He spent so much time on the road, and he wanted to be comfortable," says Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Assistant Curator Meredith E. Rutledge-Borger. "It was very important to him to be surrounded by the people he loved and a familiar surrounding, so that's why he put so much of himself and of his history into this bus."
In this clip, Rutledge-Borger gives an all-access tour of the JC Unit One rig, exploring the unique compartments of the bus, including Cash and his wife June's separate quarters. She also shares a connection between the Civil War headquarters of Ulysses S. Grant and a table in Cash's compartment, an unusual kitchen appliance and a clandestine Jamaican export that found its way into the bus.

GRACEVILLE- This week's Golden Apple award winner teaches 4th grade at Graceville Elementary School. Debra Miles was nominated by a parent who writes: "She is a caring teacher. She goes above and beyond to help her students and she does not get the credit that she deserves."
In Mrs. Miles 4th grade classroom, students are in the midst of a scientific scavenger hunt. It's just one of the many ways this lifelong learner makes the challenging, fun. "She is very inquisitive and she encourages her children to explore the world around them, to ask how things work and why they work," said Graceville Elementary School Principal Petey Sims. "I love learning and so I just think it emanates out to the kids," said Debbie Miles.
Colleagues call her an innovator who equips her students to be critical thinkers and problem solvers. "It's still a passion for me. I love learning," said Mrs. Miles. And she is instilling that love in her students. "I love coming to school because I want to learn," said 4th grader Caleb Gilbert. "She helps you get through stuff you don't know how to do," said Madison Isaak. "I hope they develop a love of just the world around them," said Mrs. Miles.
Congratulations to Mrs. Miles, this week's golden apple award winning teacher. "I love my teacher," said Chandler King.

Behind The Scenes: Out Of My Head [Video]Posted byJuly 15, 2011Filed under:5
Watch the exclusive behind the scenes feature for Lu's latest video "Out Of My Head." Lasers in stores now!
Lupe Fiasco is now my favourite rapper ever since I watched The Show Goes On. http://bizgreenglobe.blogspot.com/2011/07/lupe-fiascos-behind-scenes-latest-video.html
why couldn't they just have him fall in love with a real girl instead of a promiscuous one?! the message would be more effective. put some hijab on sista! don't sell yourself to lupe. its sad how this LASERS cd made me want to buy his older CD the "Lupe Fiasco's The Cool".. i found out Lupes music before was much better & meaningful. this video was cute but have some respect for girls even if she was okay with it & even if u needed it only for ur video.
Maybe you're just seeing the appearance rather than the message itself "cyanide." For all you know, Lu's girl is his soul mate. Maybe it's God or just Love itself. The point of the message is that if you keep your mind on Love then hatred and fear can't touch you. Lu is a genius who gives all the praise to God. That's my kinda dude! Peace and Love Lu. Stay safe out there man.
Most pop song ever, and even more POP of a video. Him hitting on chicks and molesting em in elevators when we all know hes a Muslim. I give him props for not going totally mainstream by having strippers pouring wine on their booties at least. lol

Human Rights Clinic
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Human Rights Clinic
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionThe Foreclosure Crisis in the United States Poses a Threat to Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication I. Introduction The foreclosure crisis in the United States is currently posing a serious threat to sustainable development and poverty eradication. Homes are being abandoned more and more by owners in foreclosure and they are left to fall apart. Similarly, tenants who live in foreclosed properties are left living in homes that are dilapidated, unhealthy, and unsafe because landlords are neglecting their duties during the foreclosure process. As a result, human rights violations are occurring in neighborhoods all across the United States. The Human Rights Clinic at the University of Miami School of Law is currently working to bring attention to these violations of human rights. The UN Conference on Sustainable Development is an important opportunity to bring these issues into the international spotlight. We formally submit this document for input in the compilation document for the Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development. II. Statement of Interest The Human Rights Clinic at the University of Miami School of Law exposes students to the practice of law in the transnational and cross-cultural context of human rights litigation and advocacy at the local, national, and international levels. In the classroom, students critically engage with human rights law and contemporary social problems while honing their lawyering and advocacy skills. To bridge theory and practice, students also gain hands-on experience working directly with practitioners and affected individuals on active human rights cases and projects. The Clinic pursues litigation, legislative advocacy, community organizing, documentation, public policy analysis, media advocacy, and public education. The Clinic seeks to affect change and promote social and economic justice both locally and globally by relying upon the core principles articulated in human rights treaties, consensus documents, and related instruments. III. The Foreclosure Crisis in the United States and ?Project No One Leaves - Miami? As part of an effort to address human rights violations in the United States, the University of Miami School of Law?s Human Rights Clinic partners with the University of Miami School of Law?s Community Lawyering Clinic and Florida Legal Services to address the foreclosure crisis locally. Project No One Leaves - Miami (PNOL) focuses on the plight of tenants of properties in foreclosure. Tenants who rent these properties do not know what rights they have as a tenant. They often receive notices about the foreclosure, are named as parties in the foreclosure, or hear about the landlord?s financial troubles from other tenants. As a result, many of them are scared and leave the property because they believe they have no other choice. Others take cash from their new landlords in exchange for their keys, even if it is not beneficial for them, because they think it?s their only chance at compensation. Tenants who chose to stay in homes going through the foreclosure process are often at an even greater disadvantage. The landlord who is in foreclosure, especially those who own multi-family units, often disappears and neglects their lawful duty as a landlord. The landlord no longer pays bills or makes needed repairs or renovations, leaving the tenants in bad conditions that continue to worsen. For example, some landlords of multi-family units have buildings that run on a single-read meter for utilities such as water. The landlord neglects to pay their water bills leaving the tenants without Access to water, a basic necessity for living. Limited Access to running water is just one example of the egregious human rights violations that tenants of foreclosed properties must endure. While working in the community on the issue of the foreclosure crisis, we met a group of three male Nicaraguan migrant workers who had been living together as tenants in a duplex in Miami, Florida. The property had been in foreclosure for several months. Despite the fact that these tenants continued to pay rent, the landlord had turned off the water and electricity since the foreclosure process began. The property had fallen into disrepair resulting in dangerous cracks in the ceiling, non-working doors, and pest infestations. This is just one of the many examples that we have come across while doing fieldwork. On May 20, 2009, the US Congress passed the Protecting Tenants of Foreclosure Act (PTFA) in order to address some of the issues faced by tenants whose landlords are facing foreclosure. The PTFA gives tenants some protections, but many are unaware that these protections exist. In part, the Community Lawyering Clinic and Florida Legal Services aim to address this problem through door-to-door canvassing and community meetings where tenants learn about their rights. The large number of foreclosures throughout the United States has a profound effect on the human rights of tenants and the sustainability and development of their communities. As of September 2011, one in every 605 housing units in the US received a foreclosure filing. In addition, fifty-one percent of the foreclosure filings in 2008 were in the states of California, Arizona, Nevada and Florida. According to a report by the Alameda County Public Health Department that services Oakland, California, ?foreclosures create devastating health impacts--not only for those individuals and families undergoing the process, but also whole communities that are reeling from its ripple effects and aftershocks.? The situation is no better in the state of Florida where one in every 368 housing units received a foreclosure filing in September 2011. In Miami-Dade County, where our clinics have done fieldwork, one in every 286 housing units received a foreclosure filing in September 2011. Of the 191 units visited, between forty-three and seventy were vacant. There were also numerous other houses that were clearly not occupied. The abandoned homes were often in complete and utter disrepair. Some conditions we observed were: broken or boarded-up windows, lawns overgrown and littered with garbage, and dilapidated walls. Many of the buildings were falling apart and smelled of rot. These conditions were not limited to the vacant houses. We visited some houses that were occupied by tenants whose landlords had stopped maintaining the property and/or paying the utility bills. This results in tenants living in deplorable conditions that include structural issues (i.e. ceiling, floor, or wall disrepair). For example, one family we met lived with roaches, broken air conditioning, a broken stove, and several plumbing problems. The landlord allowed the sewage to drain onto their yard and placed a lock on their water hose, which restricted their ability to wash anything, including their garbage cans. Again, these conditions are not atypical. These are the sort of human rights violations that are occurring nationwide across the United States. In Oakland, California one tenant and her seven children ?experienced water shut-offs, mold and persistent vector issues.? The Alameda County Public Health Department found that twenty-nine percent of the tenants in Oakland are experiencing utility shut-offs or threats of utility shut-offs and thirty-one percent are living in unhealthy living conditions (such as mold and pests). IV. ?Project No One Leaves - Miami? and Rio + 20 The 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development (1992 Rio Declaration) laid out integral principles to guide states in implementing sustainable development ?with the goal of establishing a new and equitable global partnership through the creation of new levels of cooperation among States, key sectors of societies and people.? One of these principles in particular, is especially important to this topic of foreclosures. Principle 8 states that: To achieve sustainable development and a higher quality of life for all people, States should reduce and eliminate unsustainable patterns of production and consumption and promote appropriate demographic policies. As mentioned previously, the foreclosure crisis is affecting the quality of life for many people across the United States. In addition, the abandoned houses are an ?unsustainable pattern of production and consumption? that must be addressed. The UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) is an important opportunity to address this issue in the context of the 1992 Rio Declaration and create new guiding principles for states faced with housing crises of this magnitude. The goals of UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) and Project No One Leaves-Miami mesh well and complement each other. One of the main focuses of the UNCSD is ?a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication.? Addressing the foreclosure crisis is critical to poverty eradication, as evidenced by the information provided above. Additionally, utilizing or perhaps updating the abandoned homes for affordable housing with greener materials is a critical step toward sustainable development. If the crisis is not addressed, many people will face homelessness. Communities are facing ?mass displacement and homelessness? in the wake of the foreclosure crisis. Further, abandoned houses are in severe disrepair and are decaying. When these homes are finally purchased, some are knocked down and large amounts of raw resources are used to build new homes. In addition, it also takes a lot of resources to restore a home from these dilapidated conditions back to livable conditions. Landlords and owners should maintain these properties regularly to avoid excess use of limited resources to make the homes habitable. Conversely, leaving these houses abandoned and in ruin is a waste of already-used resources that could be utilized. Governments could slow the development of new homes and incentivize developers to focus on the homes that are currently sitting on the market. In an effort to promote sustainability and poverty eradication, governments could set some of these homes aside for affordable housing. The houses could be updated using greener, more affordable technology to transform these homes into more energy-efficient and affordable low-income housing. Taking these steps will help alleviate poverty and will also be an effective way for governments to introduce green technology and sustainable development into fully developed areas. V. International Human Rights Standards International human rights standards have been recognized in various forms such as treaties, general principles and even as customary international law. International human rights laws outline the obligations of Governments to promote and protect human rights, which are universal and inalienable, interdependent and indivisible, as well as equal and non-discriminatory. Economic and social rights in particular are a newer concept within human rights, although no less important, that have been gaining more and more recognition. In particular, the focuses of PNOL and this conference, lead us to look at three main rights within the economic and social sphere. It is hoped that the delegates to this conference raise this issue as it is directly connected to the topics of the Rio+20 conferences well as state obligations under international human rights standards. Below is a brief explanation on the right to adequate housing as the principle right, as well as the connected rights to health and water. Human Right to Adequate Housing: The right to adequate housing is protected in various international and regional treaties. This human right can be traced back to the Universal Declaration on Human Rights (UDHR). Article 25(1) of the UDHR states that: Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control. Among many other international instruments, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) has pronounced the right to adequate housing as an essential human right. More specifically, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which is responsible for implementing and monitoring the ICESCR, defined the concept of adequacy in its General Comment No. 4. This General Comment listed seven specific components of the right to adequate housing as being the legal security of tenure; availability of services, materials, facilities, and infrastructure; affordability; habitability; accessibility; location; and cultural adequacy. More specifically, the legal security of tenure ?guarantees legal protection against forced eviction, harassment and other threats.? Many of the other components directly address the correlations between the rights to housing, health, and water. Human Right to Health: The human right to health guarantees the right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. The right to health should not be thought of as the right to be healthy necessarily, but it is more properly conceptualized as the right to enjoy facilities, goods, services and conditions necessary for the realization of health. At a minimum, there must be sufficient public services that include safe drinking water and sanitation. The right to health is directly associated with the right to adequate house, as housing availability and conditions will affect the health of an individual and communities. The UN Committee on Economic Social and Cultural Rights? General Comment No. 4 on adequate housing, articulates state obligations connected to the right to the highest attainable standard of health, in that homes must contain ?adequate space and protecting them from cold, damp, heat, rain, wind or other threats to health, structural hazards, and disease vectors.? Human Right to Water: In 2002, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, adopted the General Comment on the right to water. It explains that ?the human right to water is indispensable for leading a life in human dignity. It is a prerequisite for the realization of other human rights.? It also defined the right to water as the right to ?sufficient, safe, acceptable and physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic uses.? Furthermore, in a 2010 resolution adopted by the General Assembly of the UN, the right to water and sanitation was explicitly recognized as essential human rights. The right to water is applicable in various forms in connection with the right to adequate housing. For example, all beneficiaries of adequate housing should have sustainable Access to safe drinking water, sanitation and washing facilities, and site drainage. VI. Recommendations for Input in the Compilation Document for Rio+20 UN Conference for Sustainable Development We recommend that the delegates to the Rio+20 Conference address this most pressing issue, which has severe impact on sustainability and poverty eradication. Specifically we recommend that: 1. States recognize their affirmative obligations to tenants and ensure that landlords are complying with the international human rights standards set forth in the Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights. 2. States facing foreclosure crises should afford more protections to tenants of foreclosed properties. Legislation like the Protecting Tenants in Foreclosure Act (PTFA) in the US, address this need for protection, but need to go further to ensure that these tenants are not forced out of their homes and are not living in deplorable, unhealthy, and unsafe conditions. 3. Urge governments to provide incentives to public and private actors to maintain properties, thereby avoiding unnecessary renovations, and when necessary to renovate and regularly maintain these properties with greener and more affordable materials so that they can be utilized for affordable housing for low-income families.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Full-bodied with no shortage of flavor. This grape is grown in almost every climate, which means lots of diversity across bottles.
Old World Cabernet: Earthy with aromas of leather, hay, and dark dried fruits. Sometimes a hint of eucalyptus or violet.
Pair with: Cheese with flavor that can stand up to this big wine. Alpine style cheeses like Comte or Appenzeller and some sweeter blues like Bleu d'Auvergne would make a good match.
New World Cabernet: Characterized by bold oaky flavors and high levels of tannins. These wines are about as full-bodied as you can get, very jammy with flavors of reduced fruit.
Pair with: Sweet clothbound cheddar or a Grana style cheese like Parmigiano Reggiano or Podda Classico.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK. (April 22, 2010) – Physicians who have advanced Arkansas pediatric health care shined Thursday evening at the Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) signature recognition ceremony, the Ruth Olive Beall and Betty A. Lowe, MD, Awards.
The fourth annual event honored the tireless effort and dedication of physicians who serve on staff, as well as of a community clinic that has continuously supported ACH. The hospital presented 41 physicians with milestone service awards for periods ranging from five to 30 years on staff.
Held at Chenal Country Club in Little Rock, the awards ceremony also recognized three pediatricians and one child development expert with the hospital's highest honors. The physicians received a statuesque crystal vase as a display of appreciation for the support and devotion they have shown ACH.
The Betty A. Lowe, MD, Award recipient's name will be added to a plaque next to an original painting by renowned Little Rock artist Barry Thomas, which hangs prominently in the hospital. The ACH Foundation also presented the recipient with a signed, limited edition print of the painting.
• Elizabeth Frazier, MD, received the Ruth Olive Beall Award, which is presented to a physician who consistently displays the ACH Service and Behavioral Standards. Dr. Frazier is medical director of the heart transplant program at ACH and a professor of Pediatrics in the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Medicine.
• Joe Elser, MD, medical director of the General Pediatric, Circle of Friends and Headache Clinics at ACH and an associate professor of Pediatrics at UAMS, received the Drs. Joanna J. & Robert W. Seibert Award. This award honors a physician, clinical service, section or unit displaying outstanding teamwork. It is named for physicians who epitomize and promote teamwork at ACH.
• Horace Green, MD, and the staff of Children's Clinic of Pine Bluff, received the Dr. Tom Ed Townsend Award. The honor recognizes an Arkansas community physician and clinic that have provided excellence in health care and have been consistent supporters of ACH. Dr. Green has served as a mentor to countless pediatricians across the state, and touches the lives of hundreds of children in the Pine Bluff area each month. The clinic where he practices, which opened more than 50 years ago, now has a staff of 19, including six physicians and six nurses. All the pediatricians at The Children's Clinic of Pine Bluff are instructors in the AHEC residency training program, and Dr. Green serves on the AHEC advisory council.
• Bettye Caldwell, PhD, an internationally recognized researcher in early childhood development, received the Betty A. Lowe, MD, Award. The honor is given by the ACH Foundation to an individual who, through personal initiative, service and leadership, has made a significant contribution to the health and well-being of the children of Arkansas. Dr. Caldwell's collaboration in the 1960s with Dr. Julius Richmond led to the initiation of the Head Start program, and her model, Home Observation for the Measurement of the Environment (HOME), is the backbone for hundreds of research studies performed across the world.
Ruth Olive Beall was the second superintendent of the Arkansas Children's Home and Hospital. Under her leadership, ACH weathered the storm of the depression, made record progress and expanded well beyond its original status. Betty Ann Lowe, MD, is an Arkansas pediatrician, past medical director of ACH and professor emeritus at UAMS. This program is named in honor of these women because they were visionaries for ACH.
Arkansas Children's Hospital is the only pediatric medical center in Arkansas and one of the largest in the United States serving children. The campus spans 28 city blocks and houses 316 beds, a staff of approximately 500 physicians, 80 residents in pediatrics and pediatric specialties and more than 4,000 employees. The private, nonprofit healthcare facility boasts an internationally renowned reputation for medical breakthroughs and intensive treatments, unique surgical procedures and forward-thinking medical research - all dedicated to fulfilling our mission of enhancing, sustaining and restoring children's health and development. ACH recently ranked No. 85 on FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For®. For more information, visit

Gen-3 Engineering Research Centers (ERC)
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 16-1), is
effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 25, 2016. Please be advised that, depending
on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 16-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this
funding opportunity.
NSF established the Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN) in 2002 at Purdue University as part of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). The NCN was established as a service facility to offer researchers the tools to explore nanoscale phenomena through theory, modeling, and simulation while also developing enhancements to science and engineering education.� Through its cyber platform, nanoHUB.org, NCN has become a powerful resource for the worldwide nanoscience and nanoengineering community and currently serves over 170,000 researchers, educators, students, and other professionals worldwide.� For more information on NCN, please see http://nanohub.org/about#funding
NSF's NCN award expires in September 2012.� Through this solicitation, NSF provides an opportunity for the broader community to compete to reconfigure the NCN.� The configuration of the new Network for Computational Nanotechnology will be restructured as a stand alone Cyber Platform awardee, which will provide computation, simulation and educational services to the nanoscience and engineering communities, including the current nanoHUB tools and educational materials.� This platform will be funded by one award to a single university.� Linked to that platform will be three new Nodes that will develop new tools and content that will be delivered to Cyber Platform for worldwide dissemination.� NSF will fund the Cyber Platform and these new Nodes through four separate awards, which will be joined through their respective cooperative agreements to constitute the new reconfigured NCN.
The goals of the reconfigured NCN will continue to be those of the original NCN to: 1) engage an ever-larger and more diverse cyber community sharing novel, high-quality nanoscale computation and simulation research and educational resources; 2) accelerate the transformation of nanoscience to nanotechnology through the integration of simulation with experimentation; 3) develop open-source software to stimulate data sharing; and 4) inspire and educate the next generation workforce.�
The new content development Nodes will combine theory and experimentation to develop the computation and simulation tools, and educational materials for delivery on the Cyber Platform. The new content development Node areas will be:
Proposals will be accepted only for the Nodes defined above and any proposal for another Node content area will be returned without review.
There will be one award per Node and the configuration of each Node may involve more than one university.�� By linking these NCN Nodes to the NCN Cyber Platform, the result will be a comprehensive and integrated service delivery system, which links theory, simulation, and experimentation to continue to strengthen and support nanoscience and nanoengineering research and education.

Pollyn "How Small We Are" from Pollyn on Vimeo.
Pollyn's adorable "How Small We Are" track that we shared back in July now takes whole new life on this remix. Nozinja and Nurse Matlala of South Africa's Shangaan Electro help create a pulsating other worldly sound that we just can't get enough of.
The video above takes place in Soweto, South Africa with Nurse Matlala rocking out and doing her thing. The idea behind the remix was "to give [Nozinja and Nurse Matlala] the lyrics and have them translate them to create their own version of the song. They had free reign to do their thing. The track has a new brevity to it, several beats teetering insistently on as Nurse pontificates sagely over it all." Amazing.

- Partnership Bringing New In-Venue Film Festival to Digiplex Circuit -
WESTFIELD, New Jersey and NEW YORK, New York (June 25, 2012) - Digital Cinema Destinations Corp. (NasdaqCM:DCIN), a fast-growing motion picture exhibitor dedicated to transforming movie theaters into digital entertainment centers, announced today the formation of DigiNext, a joint venture with Nehst, an innovative digital content financier, developer, producer and distributor. The companies are collaborating on the DigiNext In-Venue Film Festival, a unique theatrical exhibition program slated to kick off in August 2012.
A breakthrough for filmmakers and consumers, the DigiNext In-Venue Film Festival recreates the excitement of the film festival experience in local theaters by showcasing high-end American independent movies and award-winning foreign language films featured at the top 20 international and domestic film festivals. As part of an enhanced movie-going experience the series will also include live and Skyped Q&A sessions with filmmakers as well as celebrity appearances and gift bag giveaways for attendees.
Nehst co-founder and Chairman Larry Meistrich stated, "The DigiNext In-Venue Film Festival is committed to providing opportunities for talented but still below-the-radar directors and producers without previous distribution the chance to reach an appreciative audience of targeted movie aficionados, including various affinity groups. We are very pleased to partner with Bud Mayo and the Digiplex team to offer their moviegoers access to highly praised but under-exposed films, without requiring them to travel to the world's leading film festivals to enjoy them."
Digiplex Chairman and CEO Bud Mayo commented, "Larry originated a similar and very successful creative concept a number of years ago, the critically acclaimed 'Shooting Gallery Film Series at Loews Cineplex Entertainment,' which was responsible for such breakout hits as 'Croupier' and 'Judy Berlin.'
"We believe the DigiNext content offerings will not only complement our growing lineup of alternative programming, it is also consistent with our vision of targeting audiences with compelling choices we help bring to market. In addition to bringing our patrons access to a wide variety of new indie titles via the In-Venue Film Festival that they would ordinarily not be able to see elsewhere, as a partner in DigiNext our Company will also participate in future ancillary downstream non-theatrical revenues, including TV and cable broadcasts, digital sales, rentals and streaming of these movies that will be hand-picked by Nehst."
The deal was facilitated by Emily Gerson Saines of Brookside Artist Management.

Important Information About Your Drinking Water
Posted on 09/06/2013 9:35 am
Tests Showed Coliform Bacteria in Wilmington Water Department's Water
Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this incident was not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know of the violation and what was done to correct this situation. The Wilmington Water Department routinely monitors for drinking water contaminants. We collected 154 samples to test for the presence of coliform bacteria during July. Eight of those samples or 5.2% of the samples showed the presence of total coliform bacteria. The standard is that no more than seven of the 154 samples may do so.
What happened? What was done?
Whenever a sample shows the presence of total coliform bacteria, we follow up each sample with three repeat samples. All repeat samples collected were absent for total coliform bacteria. The Wilmington Water Department continues to monitor water quality on a daily basis. Samples collected in August indicate that the water has returned to compliance.
What does this mean?
This is not an emergency. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. Coliform bacteria are generally not harmful themselves. Coliforms are bacteria which are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially-harmful bacteria may be present. Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems.
Usually, coliforms are a sign that there could be a problem with the system's treatment or distribution system (pipes). Whenever we detect coliform bacteria in any sample, we do follow-up testing to see if other bacteria of greater concern, such as fecal coliform or E. coli, are present. We did not find any of these bacteria in our subsequent testing.
What should I do?
You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions.
However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor.
People with severely compromised immune systems, infants and some elderly, may be at an increased risk. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
For more information, please contact Sean Duffy, of the Department of Public Works at (302) 576-3074 or Allison Diggins, Environmental Health Specialist II with the Office of Drinking Water at (302) 741-8581.

With the Firefly Music Festival winding down Sunday afternoon, The Lumineers graced the Main Stage for their first appearance in Dover, making up for last year's cancelled appearance.
Singer Wesley Schultz apologized to the crowd for last year's cancellation at the beginning of the band's set by saying they were happy to finally be playing for the Firefly crowd.
The crowd was energized from the beginning, often cheering the minute the band started a song.
The folk rock band has made a name for itself in the last three years, thanks in part to their double platinum single "Ho Hey," which helped the Grammy-nominated band's first album "The Lumineers."
From fan-favorite "Stubborn Love" to the cheeky "Classy Girls" fans weren't disappointed by the band's set on Sunday. They even covered Bob Dylan's "Homesick Subterranean Blues" and Talking Heads "This Must be the Place."
Singing a combination of songs from the first album, along with some new songs on the band's upcoming album, The Lumineers were a nice change of pace from the rest of the Firefly bands this weekend. With their smooth music and catchy lyrics, fans clapped and sang to nearly every song. Schultz even made his way into the crowd for a few songs, much to the delight of concertgoers.
The fans seemed to enjoy every minute of the show making it easy to see why The Lumineers have spent so much time touring rather than rushing to release a second album.
In a weekend in which festivaltgoers saw everything from OutKast to the rock band Foo Fighters, the laidback sound of The Lumineers was a great way to round out the Firefly Music Festival weekend.

While the crowds were a bit low the first few hours, Delawareans and out-of-state guests flocked to the Delaware State Fairgrounds in Harrington Thursday for opening day of the fair.
The fair will run through Saturday, July 27.
Locals who plan to hit the fair this weekend can expect a bit of relief from the heat later this weekend. While temperatures are expected to reach 95 degrees on Friday, they will begin to drop with weather.com forecasting a high of 87 degrees for the Harrington area on Sunday and 84 degrees on Monday.
Organizers have plenty planned for the week, with big-name acts like Luke Bryan, Trace Adkins, Three Doors Down and Jeff Duhham taking the stage at the M&T Bank Grandstand. And, it wouldn't be a fair without tons of carnival rides, agriculture exhibits and oh yes, the scrumptious fair food.
Check out www.doverpost.com for full coverage from the fair throughout the weekend.

Associated Press Wins Top Portrait Prizes at POYi
Associated Press has picked up two first prize awards in the Portrait and Portrait Series categories of the 70th annual POYi competition. The wire service now has 5 first prize awards after three days of POYI judging.
AP photographer Daniel Ochoa de Olza won top prize in the Portrait category for a very pirate-like image of Spanish bullfighter Juan Jose Padilla, made just before the matador's ritual entrance to the bullring in Brihuega, Spain last April. Second prize went to freelance photographer Louie Palu. PDN has not yet been able to identify the third place winner. (POYi posts winning images, but does not announce the photographers' names until all judging is completed at the end of February.)
AP photographer Oded Balilty won first prize in the Portrait Series category for his photographs of Palestinian stone throwers–men who use slingshots against Israeli soldiers. Balilty, who is based in Tel Aviv, was able to get the images because of his extensive knowledge of the region, and network of local contacts.
Second and third prize in the Portrait Series category went to photographer Magnus Wennman, a staff photographer at the Aftonbladet newspaper in Sweden, and Polish freelance photographer Maciek Nabrdalik, respectively.
Earlier this week, AP won top prizes in the Spot News, Campaign 2012, and Feature image categories.
All contest categories, with links to winning entries so far, are on the POYi Web site.

An intense stare meant to intimidate or correct its target. (Originated within Benny Goodman's orchestra; the name was given to the stare that Goodman gave to his musicians.)
If you weren't playing the chart the way Goodman wanted you to play it, he'd give you the ray. It was very unsettling.

Ray is the name for someone who is a kind gentle gay man who is always down to do anything, like absolutely anything, like ask him to shove 6 glass dildos in his ass and he'll do it. I'm not talking about the tiny 4 inch ones either, I mean full on 12inch glass dildos in his ass, like 6 of them.
Damn ray is so kind and he's always homosexual :D

A pretentious man--often a metrosexual, certainly effete--who pretends to know and understand intellectual subjects more than he actually does.
When outgunned by smarter and more educated people, Ray will hold his ground no matter how ridiculous his argument; e.g., "No, that IS a particle accelerator blowing those leaves in the gutter! And Toro lawn mowers are fueled by NUCULAR sic energy."

As I've mentioned before, this year's 15th annual American Music Masters series honoring Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew has been a homecoming of sorts for me – taking me back to my former hometown of New Orleans. Last week's Teachers Rock workshop, featuring Allison Reinhardt and Lawrence Rawlins of the acclaimed Roots of Music program, paid tribute to the musical legacy of both our AMM honorees as well as to the musical heritage of the city of New Orleans, by drawing attention to a program that works tirelessly to keep these musical traditions alive, with students who, in a very real way, are fighting themselves to survive.
As a fourth and fifth grade special education teacher for what is now known as the Recovery School District in New Orleans, I witnessed the struggles of the city's schoolchildren first-hand. Years of educational neglect coupled with the crippling devastation of Hurricane Katrina left its mark in every imaginable way. The children of New Orleans deserve better.
Unfortunately, as we know all too well, when schools are struggling – financially, academically, or in this case, both – music education is one of the first things to go. In a city like New Orleans, a city that lives and breathes music, this seems almost criminal.
Enter the Roots of Music program, an after-school marching band, music education, and tutoring program, co-founded by Derrick Tabb, drummer for the Rebirth Brass Band. ROM provides music history, theory, and performance instruction as well as mandatory academic tutoring (all participants must maintain at least a 2.5 GPA in school) – five days a week. Participants, ages 9-14, are also served a hot meal and door-to-door busing is provided, all at no cost. No instrument required (ROM provides these as well) – students need only bring themselves, and their desire to succeed. No excuses.
In New Orleans, marching bands reign supreme. They're more popular than sports, in fact. And the ROM band proudly marches alongside the best – each Mardi Gras season since 2009. I've seen them myself, and I will be cheering loudly for them again this year.
But the power of Roots of Music, the power of music itself, goes beyond the parade route. ROM gives students a safe alternative to street life, and all that comes with it. It gives them a taste of success that some might never have felt before – musically, scholastically, and personally. And it gives them a sense of pride in themselves and in their city. You can learn more about Roots of Music here. I urge you do to so.
While the storm certainly exacerbated the crisis of New Orleans public education, many of the problems that NOLA schools face are the same difficulties that teachers and students wrestle with here in Cleveland, and across the country. I hope that in hearing about Roots of Music's success, Teachers Rock participants were inspired to continue to make positive changes in their own classrooms. Music can help make that happen. Rock and roll can help make that happen. No excuses.

Our Life- A thank you.
Our Life: Bound to a space: 9 rooms, our home, another 9 rooms, the home of others, briefly.
An acre and a half of glorious New England Land bordered by the Millbrook, by the home of the Hawthorne's and the Alcott's; this sliver owned by them and by Emerson…HD Thoreau surveying : all of the Transcendentalists touching the soil on which we live.
We are contained , in our created environment, welcoming so many [we have added Syria and Rwanda to our list of guests] but, only, physically, for in this space, we have been truly Blessed to have shaken hands, to have laughed to have shared joys and sorrows and stories with so many and, most importantly, to have offered respite.
The most amazing thing is: as we have, hopefully, honored those who have crossed our threshold, they, too, have honored us by doing so.
We are held in the hearts of many and, in Prayer, we Thank those who have left our so wonderful Town of Concord, Our Inn, with Joy and Happiness and Memories to reflect upon.
I wish that we had taken of photo of every guest and wrote a brief line to remember them by …we have not.
Nevertheless, these notes are held in another place. Somewhere deep in hearts.
I wish that we had held a hand a bit more tightly; said Thank-you a bit more emphatically; listened a bit more intently.
Our lives, these 37 years, have been Blessed no more or less than any other.
God is with each of us.
Our path was to have meet many Gracing our Table.
Our circle was/is large.
Remember, the dance happens in intimacy and in broadness. The dance that is this Life, that is over, 'just like that'!
Honor one another [even if you really do not want to].
Listen, too, to each other.
Play music that you Love and Dance alone, with another, but Dance and Sing and close your eyes when you look at Beauty [in a Sky, in reflecting water, in orchards ripe, at a lost person asking, wordless, for a path to wholeness].
Close your eyes and move and feel and take in beauty and pray that you can remember joy and love and serenity and beauty when times get tough; when your world feels like it is falling apart.
Prayer and connection.
And, a kind word really does means more than we shall ever know.
Many, in my life, amaze me by their humility and generosity and kindness.
I thank the many tens of thousands whom have allowed us excellent food on our table, the means to gift our three children the most amazing education: gifted us a good life.
We are so fortunate to be Innkeepers of our Inn.We are so fortunate to be Innkeepers of our Inn

"This recipe was so quick. It is one of those that you can make with pretty much ingredients you already have. I even cheated (because of time factor) and bought an already-prepared Angel Food Cake. I think I spent 15 minutes putting this together, yet it seemed as if I had slaved in the kitchen for quite a while. Great recipe!"

Though no one knew it at the time, this would be Ahmet Ertegun's last Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Looking back to this evening, his opening words celebrating jazz pioneer and inductee Miles Davis seem particularly moving -- since jazz was Ertegun's first love and entree into the music business. Said Ertegun, "There was a marvelous article today in the New York Times about the induction of the great jazz artist Miles Davis. Among the great rock & roll artists who have been inducted here, and who are here tonight, it's important to point out that there's a gray area where jazz and rock & roll overlap. And there's also an area where rock & roll overlaps with country music, and where rock & roll overlaps with rhythm & blues, and where rock & roll overlaps with mainstream pop music, and where rock & roll overlaps with hip-hop and rap music, and that's what makes rock & roll a very, very special kind of music that envelopes the styles of so many different kinds of music. It's this diversity, which is evidenced by the great diversity of artists inducted so far."
As Ertegun pointed out, inductees for 2006 ranged from heavy-metal progenitors Black Sabbath to new wavers Blondie to Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd to punks the Sex Pistols.
