Elementary students at Holy Cross Regional Catholic School enjoyed a recent visit from children's author and parenting expert Julia Cook and her dog, Kirby.
Cook was in Lynchburg to lead Holy Cross students in an entertaining discussion about problem-solving skills.
While in Lynchburg, Cook also led teacher in-service training with Holy Cross teachers and a public discussion at Amazement Square about helping kids learn skills to solve problems.
Cook's first stop at Holy Cross was Mrs. Roby's fourth grade classroom. Cook's presentation to the fourth graders included information about peer pressure, filtering your words in social situations and writing.
Cook told the students that she always writes her books out longhand before typing them, showing the students a "sloppy copy" of one of her manuscripts.
Sharing a new manuscript with the students about thinking before you speak, Cook told the students, "Feedback is just information that helps you grow."
The new work in progress teaches kids the difference between the thinking bubble and the talking bubble in your head, how to analyze social situations and how to use your social filter to let your talking bubble fill with respectful words before you speak.
Cook used her book, "Peer Pressure Gauge" to share the story of Norbert, a "namuh." Namuh is human spelled backwards.
Norbert learns about peer pressure as his teacher brings a pizza covered with anchovy-flavored jelly beans to school. Like all namuhs, Norbert loves jelly beans.
The teacher pushes all of the students to try the pizza but Norbert refuses. Even as the teacher sweetens the pot with rewards, Norbert continues to say no.
The other kids push Norbert to try the pizza, saying, "Do It, Do It, Do It, Do It," Norbert describes the pressure building inside his head and how his head feels like it will explode.
In the end, the teacher tells the class that Norbert was told to just say no, regardless of how many people pushed him to say yes.
Cook also shared the steps she takes in writing a book with Mrs. Roby's class and told the students, "Never let anyone take away your voice."
Many of Cook's books feature a boy named RJ. One of Mrs. Roby's students told Cook that RJ's teacher looks just like Mrs. Roby. Cook and Mrs. Roby posed for a photo with one of her books opened to a page with RJ's teacher.
Following the presentation in Mrs. Roby's class, Cook spoke with all Holy Cross elementary students in the cafeteria, using her books, "Making Friends Is an Art" to talk with students about making friends and "Soda Pop Head" to talk about controlling anger.
Colored art pencils in "Making Friends Is an Art" teach kids and adults that the best way to make friends is to be a good friend. Cook told the students that this book is used in schools and even nursing homes to teach people about making friends.
Cook shared her book "Soda Pop Head," the story of Lester, a boy who behaves well except when he loses his temper and turns into a "Soda Pop Head" the same way as a soda pop fizzes when shaken.
Lester learns from his dad to control his anger by taking a few deep breaths, counting to 10 and using other methods instead of reacting like a "Soda Pop Head."
Cook also talked with the students about writing. Cook's writing career began when she was a guidance counselor, looking for a book to teach kids not to tattle.
When she couldn't find a book that worked, Cook wrote her first book, "A Bad Case of Tattle Tongue," the story of Josh the tattler, who learns the difference between tattling and warning with a little help from the Tattle Prince and his four Tattle Rules.
As Cook often says, "In order to teach a child, you must enter their view of the world." Cook's books do a terrific job of entering a child's view of the world. The books' characters entertain kids while teaching important life lessons.
Cook talked with the students about always doing their best work. She told the students that when they sign their name to anything they write, they should make sure the finished project is a "butterfly," not a furry "caterpillar."
Cook told Holy Cross students she learned that lesson after submitting a manuscript to a book editor, only to be told she needed to do more work.
Cook said her manuscript was a caterpillar that hadn't yet evolved into a beautiful butterfly. Cook told students that their work will represent them and should make them proud.
As she shared the story of meeting a 13-year-old author who had written a novel at a book signing, Cook told the students they do not have to be adults to be writers. Cook also told the students about an 86-year-old author to illustrate that a writer can be any age.
Cook told the Holy Cross students that her visit to their school came about because her publicist, Catherine Mosely, is the Director of Enrollment and Marketing at Holy Cross and the mom of a fourth grader at the school.
Cook's finale at her presentation used her book, "Smarter than the Scoopers" to talk with the students about personal safety. While most people are good, there are a few adults who might hurt children.
Cook calls these people "scoopers" because they try to scoop up a child and take them away. "Smarter than the Scoopers" teaches kids to use the five SCOOP rules to keep them safe.
The "S" stands for smart. Cook told the students that they are smart enough to trust their feelings. If an adult makes them feel scared, they should listen to their "uh oh" voice and trust those feelings.
The "C" stands for call list. Cook said children should use a school telephone or other phone to call a parent or other trusted adult if a person or situation makes them afraid or uncertain.
Adults talk with other adults, not children, Cook told the students, adding that adults should only talk to a young child when the child is with a parent or other trusted adult.
The first "O" stands for ZerO talking with strange a strange adult who tries to start a conversation with them. The second "O" stands for keeping people out of their personal space.
Cook used a student to help her show the group that their personal safety zone is as wide as both of their arms extended in any direction. Cook said kids should run from any adult who tries to invade that zone.
The "P" is for pair up. Since scoopers are more likely to try to take a child who is alone, children should play with at least one other friend when they are outside.
Cook shared with the students that adults often use cats or dogs to gain children's trust. As Cook brought out her dog, Kirby, the students all exclaimed, "Awwwww!"
Reminding the students to never let that "Awwwww!" moment allow them to let their guard down, Cook told the students they should never approach a strange adult with a cute dog or cat.
At the end of the assembly, the students gathered around Cook and Kirby, who was dressed in a miniature-sized Holy Cross uniform.
Julia Cook's second visit to Lynchburg helped Holy Cross students, teachers and many members of the community learn important life skills that will help them solve problems.

The inaction of the Australian government beggars belief. A mentally ill citizen is dying in a hell hole, and they hide behind protocol, presumably because there is no political cost to the death of a normal working class girl.
WE have to create that cost. We have to tell the world about this. We have to explain to Australians how the truth they saw some of in 2004/5 has been distorted and hidden. We have to tell the two governmets that we the PEOPLE won't walk away. But we have to do it NOW. Please join us...... a life literally depends upon it.

PCC Constructed Wetland
In a world where life thrives on water, it is important to have methods that will secure the quality of water and provide the nourishment that the environment requires. In this study we observed the effects of pollution on a constructed wetland to determine the wetlands ability to reduce pollution levels. Through chemical tests and biological surveys we were able to determine our wetlands efficiency in pollution reduction. Through chemical testing we found pollution reduction levels of up to twenty percent for phosphate, six percent for nitrate, one hundred percent for iron and ninety-two percent for copper. From the biological surveys taken the bacterial counts and average diversity showed a substantial increase after the introduction of pollutant. The protist population initially showed a substantial drop in numbers followed by a notable increase. Our research has proven that the constructed wetland has the ability for self-purification.

College Hockey:Against The Grain: RIT Edges Holy Cross In Defensive Battle
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Despite having the two most prolific offenses in Atlantic Hockey, the Holy Cross Crusaders (7-7-1) and the RIT Tigers (5-5-2) played a tight defensive game Friday at RIT's Ritter Arena, slowed considerably by a steady stream of players headed to the penalty box.
RIT freshman Anton Kharin deflected in a power-play goal with less than four minutes remaining in the game to give the Tigers a 2-1 victory.
"The penalties kind of shifted the momentum back and forth tonight," said RIT coach Wayne Wilson. "The special teams were good for us most of the night. Tonight as a group, our lineup played pretty well."
The pace picked up early in the third period, and the teams kicked in to high gear during the latter half of the period, scrambling to break a 1-1 tie.
An interference penalty on Holy Cross gave RIT a power play with just over five minutes remaining in the game, but the Crusaders played a strong penalty kill and almost succeeded in nullifying the RIT power play.
However, just seconds before the power play ended, a Holy Cross defender tried to clear the puck out of the zone from along the back boards, but the puck deflected off another Crusader skate. The puck ricocheted to the far side of the ice where RIT's Brent Patry collected it. Patry sent a strong slapshot towards the net that linemate Kharin deflected home for the goal at 16:43 to give RIT the 2-1 lead.
"We didn't play in the first, and played well in the second," said Holy Cross coach Paul Pearl. "Then in the third, a one-goal game, we took an unlucky bounce off one of our guys' feet and it ended up in the net, but that is what happens. You have to play [60] minutes. They have a really good hockey team and we didn't play that tonight."
Holy Cross poured on the pressure, pulling netminder Ian Dams with 1:31 remaining in the game. But the Crusaders couldn't get anything past the sprawled RIT defenders and goaltender Jocelyn Guimond as the Tigers held on for the win.
"I know at the end of the game I have to be sharp," said Guimond. "The defense played an unbelievable game in front of me, blocking shots all game."
RIT got in penalty trouble in the opening half of the first period, taking four minors. Three of those were earned in a series that gave Holy Cross almost a minute and a half of five-on-three power play.
The Tigers' penalty kill played aggressively during the double-man down situation, blocking several shots and clearing the puck repeatedly. The Crusaders managed to get two shots on goal during the extended two-man power play, but Guimond saved both of them to keep the teams scoreless.
"We've been practicing killing five-on-threes throughout the year and did a pretty good job with it tonight," said Wilson.
However, just as the Holy Cross power plays were winding down, the Crusaders got tagged with a ticky-tack penalty and RIT converted on the ensuing power play. The Tigers were working the puck down low when it sprang out to Steve Pinizzotto at the left point. Pinizzotto wound a strong wrist shot through a crowd over Holy Cross netminder Ian Dams' blocker to score the power play goal at 12:03.
The teams were finally able to play several consecutive minutes at full strength and exchanged offensive opportunities. Both goaltenders held firm and the period ended with RIT holding on to a 1-0 lead.
Holy Cross came out with more jump to start the second period and skated circles around the RIT players. The Crusaders dominated the neutral zone and worked several turnovers into scoring opportunities.
The offensive punch paid dividends for Holy Cross just 5:40 in to the second period. A bouncing puck ricocheted off of the back boards and onto the stick of Crusader James Sixsmith, standing just outside the RIT crease. Sixsmith quickly swatted the puck home for the power-play goal to tie the game at 1.
"We just started getting to pucks, winning some scrums on pucks, and doing a much more thorough job on the pucks," said Pearl. "When that happens, good things usually follow."
The referee reasserted himself during the second half of the period, sending a steady stream of players to the penalty box, sometimes for incidental contact. This disrupted any flow that the game had, reducing the second stanza to crawl. The slow pace kept the offenses contained and the period ended with the teams tied 1-1.

I bought this from Ergoprise because of the thoughtful reviews that this website posted, and I am thoroughly impressed. It's just what was promised and well worth the $190. The arm swings easily but stays where I've placed it. I bought a 26" ASUS monitor that is VESA compatible and had no difficulty installing it. The screen can now swivel easily across my desk for best comfort in positioning, and getting rid of the clunky old monitor stand has freed up a lot of space on my small desk surface.

It's hard to talk about James Adomian without getting a little gushy; consistently referred to as one of the most talented players in the industry, he's something of a quadruple-threat, a brilliant actor, improviser, impressionist, and writer whose performances are unpredictable and unmissable. The SXSW Comedy alum has had a whirlwind year of festival dates, tours, and TV appearances -- and this week, he's celebrating the release of his debut stand-up album, Low Hangin Fruit.
Adomian's well known for his impressions -- he got his small-screen start playing George W. Bush on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and is a frequent guest on podcasts like Sklarboro Country and Comedy Bang! Bang!, where he showcases characters including Jesse Ventura, Huell Howser, and Gary Busey. Recently, he introduced Andy Kindler's famed "State of the Industry" address at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival with an impression of the elder comic so pitch-perfect, some said he stole the show. At SXSW Comedy 2012, he appeared on a live edition of Comedy Bang! Bang! and was named one of the fest's MVPs by Huffington Post Comedy.
Low Hangin Fruit is available online exclusively through Earwolf. The album seamlessly blends character bits with observational humor and introspective asides, and the result -- an hour-long showcase of Adomian's range -- is one of the strongest comedy records of the year.
We caught up with Adomian to talk about his busy summer, his big plans for the fall, and his thoughts on being labeled a "gay comic." Read on!
Are you based in NY or LA these days?
All my operations are actually based out of the Cayman Islands. I spend a lot of time in New York and L.A. but that's all a front for my offshore activities. Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha.
We love Low Hangin Fruit. What was the experience of recording the album like?
It was fun! This is my first album, and Earwolf's too, so it was very much a learn-as-we-go kind of project. I now know more about audience mics than I know about my own apartment. We recorded first in Portland around the time of Bridgetown. Those shows were fun but we decided to do it again at Union Hall in Brooklyn this summer, and that's what forms the majority of the album -- there is one bonus story from Portland that's on there. Overall it was challenging and fun and full of nasty energy drinks!
What were some of the earliest impressions you tried out?
Teachers and coaches, serious newsmen, cartoons, muppets, other kids, movie stars -- I was always mimicking and mirroring people like some kind of little asshole. I'm surprised that people put up with me long enough for it to pay off.
What inspired you to start stand-up?
Well, some may know and/or care that the first half of my career was as a sketch/improv/character performer, first at Groundlings, then at UCB. I had gotten into stand-up in my early twenties, but was scared away from it after six months because of the fire-breathing, ball-busting macho power structure that I found in the mainstream scene.
So I stuck with sketch comedy for several years, until a hilarious comic and dear mentor, who's no longer with us, gave me perhaps the wisest advice of my life and told me that I should be doing stand-up. We had lots of down-time while I was featuring on the road for him, so I basically presented him with my objections and problems with the format of stand-up and he knocked them down, one-by-one. I was like, "I don't like the way people do impressions in stand-up sets." And he was like, "I know, neither do I! So find a way to do it that doesn't suck!" He challenged me to go out and create my own voice as a stand-up comic. I'm forever in debt to him because stand-up is the most fun I've ever had, and before I had convinced myself it wasn't for me.
So by the time I really started doing stand-up, it was just for fun on the side of my sketch comedy career. I had been performing characters at standup shows fairly frequently, talking to the audience even though I was in a costume, so it was just a small leap to go: hey, let's drop the costume and see what I can say as myself, with my own voice, and see what happens. It was amazing how so many new comedic ideas opened up to me simply because I was approaching them from my own point of view. And I had a lot of fun doing that, and people reacted with an encouraging enthusiasm that I didn't anticipate. So now my emphasis has flip-flopped, so I do mostly stand-up, with characters on the side for fun.
Jesse Ventura and conspiracy theories, Sam Elliott and exaggerated masculinity -- it seems like many of your bits are based in cultural commentary as much as the comedy of impersonation. What tends to draw you to certain characters?
You're right! I find that an interesting point of view is way more enticing than the vocal quality when doing an impression or a character. Personally, I believe that an impression should be funny, original and relevant before it is accurate. I don't sit in front of a TV "mastering" some celebrity's mannerisms. I consider that a waste of my time. I do an impression of someone when they make a big impression on me, positive or negative, and I just can't stop thinking about them.
As for cultural commentary, I do listen very keenly to what ideologies fuel people and media entities when they speak to me or to the public at large. Like a lot of smartasses, I'm hyper-sensitive to manipulation and subtext, so I notice and react when I'm being sold a dubious worldview or a line of bullshit, or even just an oddly-expressed talking point that I might agree with. That is: you never want to watch me watch TV news.
How was your recent trip to Montreal's Just For Laughs festival? (We heard your Andy Kindler introduction and don't disagree with those who say you stole the show.)
Was it stolen? Or bartered? Or a third form of transactional arrangement?
Andy Kindler is one of my heroes, and he was so sweet to have me intro him as Kindler at his big address, which was just a dream for me. Andy kills me and I'm thrilled to work with him whenever we get the chance. Paul F. Tompkins and Jon Dore also had me do their shows. I think altogether I did 18 shows full of characters and stand-up at JFL this year -- and then went right into the Comedy Bang! Bang! live tour. I'm just back from all that and I've been sleeping a lot.
You are a comic who happens to identify as gay, and while your material is sometimes based on the premise that you are, indeed, a gay man, it's not necessarily 'gay comedy' -- what are your thoughts on the complexity of this kind of labeling?
The short of it is, I'm proud of who I am and enjoy the many gay adventures I get to have. I guess I also have a lot of things to talk about besides me and my life. So I make room for both. When I'm doing stand-up as myself, I nearly always make a point to tell the audience that I date men, but also work that into larger discussions of our world and what's wrong with it. (My in-character personas are more beholden to the life and worldview of the person I'm playing.)
I also think there's some power in not having to dwell only on being gay. I can go, "Hey! Here's a few funny things about gay life and homophobia that you didn't realize. See? Now let's segue that into something else, fuckos!" I feel a distinct power in NOT having to go, "Gay, gay, gay-gay-gay, guess what -- GAY!" -- but I do have a couple of bits like that and I love them.
And by the way, I only say "gay" because nobody quite understands what "queer" means, though I prefer that label. Labels are always misleading, no matter how close they get to accurate. When I take over and change the language, I will do away with a lot of these labels altogether and we can again fuck around freely like our ancestors. Except we can live longer and have restaurants and computers.
Your stand-up works in political themes without being alienating or inaccessible to mainstream listeners; what's the process of trying to find the humor in causes you're clearly passionate about like?
Trial. By. Fire. A lot of political comedy doesn't work. When it does work, it's because it was forced to run through a bitter gauntlet of strong opinions and even stronger disinterest. Plus, you're up against the steady drone of corporate news propaganda, which has a terrifying sway over people's minds. See how hilarious that was?
What projects are you working on next? (We've got our fingers crossed for a James Adomian podcast!)
Keep 'em crossed and rub a rabbit's foot -- it might happen! I like the idea of doing my own podcast, if I can find a way to do it while traveling and also pull some reward out of the effort. It would bring a lot of scrutiny for what is necessarily, for me, informal and pure fun, given the volunteer nature of podcasting. Otherwise, I have some fun web video projects coming out in the next couple of months, and I'm currently in the process of creating two potential TV shows: one live-action and one animated. I will also be hitting the road as much as I can get away with, cause I love this beautiful country of ours -- and our geographical and cultural neighbors!

"Democracy is not about identifying a transient plurality of compliant spectators; it is about creating a stable public of thoughtful participants. Democracy is not an end; it is the means to the many goals we set for ourselves as individuals and as a community. Democracy is partly a process, but it is largely a spirit, a revolutionary spirit."—David King, in "Democracy: The Unfinished Revolution," Alberta Views, March 2008. King was a four-term MLA and education minister in the Lougheed governments. He served as the executive director of the Public School Boards' Association of Alberta.
Educators in Tennessee can now teach unsound science without fear of recrimination. New legislation passed in mid-April protects teachers who "help students understand, analyze, critique, and review in an objective manner the scientific strengths and scientific weaknesses of existing scientific theories covered in the course being taught." Science education advocates say the new legislation could make it easier for creationism and denial of global warming to enter U.S. classrooms. Proponents of creationism or intelligent design, who argue that humans and other life forms did not evolve through random mutation and natural selection, say the law is a victory for academic freedom.

Father's Day is almost here again (Sunday, June 20th) It is another time to reflect upon the Biblical importance of honoring parents (Leviticus 19:3). The commandment to "honor your father and mother" is the first commandment with an included promise (Ephesians 6:2).
Exodus 20:12 - Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
- Deuteronomy 5-16: - Honor thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Biblical honor of parents is not limited to biological ancestors. Spiritual parents are to be reverenced for upbringing in the ways of God. We can read in Ephesians 6:1: Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right (KJV). Yet Jesus said, "For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother (Mark 3:35). What a blessing when a natural parent is also a Godly parent!
Faith From My Father
As a youth with no great understanding of life's sometimes cruel realities, I remember receiving a package filled with greeting cards from my Dad - a Veteran (US Marines) and no stranger to adversity. These were not the words of Poe. There were no Shakespearean verses. Each card; each Cary Kard, was written by my Dad. The cards came with a little note:
This is all I have to give. Sell these cards and you can keep whatever money you make.
Love, Dad
I did not think I had what it took to plant the seeds my Father gave me; and slay the giants in my life. All I could see was the beanstalk; and I was afraid of heights. That was then. To honor my Dad for teaching me that lack is not a reason to doubt, I wrote the book, Faith From My Father. My Dad is one of few people who always encouraged me to write.
EXCERPT from Faith From My Father : Verses Inspired by Lessons From Dad & God Our Heavenly Father by Shenica Graham
Living In America
They say poverty is a state of mind. Wouldn't you like to know who they are? I mean, they must not know what it is like to live in a Los Angeles ghetto! Have you ever had one of those "…and all I got was this lousy [shirt]..." days? Welcome to my neighborhood in the 1980's. I was too young to run away and too broke to do anything else. I could have gone to the only attraction on the block - the candy store, but I did that yesterday. I did that everyday; and all I got was a lousy, empty sack... or so I thought.
Unlike some people who say they never knew they were poor until someone else told them so, I did not need a translator. There are people in this country who have less than the means of what constitutes a living in America. As a child I did not always have shoes without holes in them. While our country sends aid to other continents, there are starving people right here and some of them do desperate things to escape their lives of this caliber. Some have only their heart's ambition to keep them going from day to day.
In my youth I did not know the sacrifices my parents made to give me more than they had at my age. We were poor. But, Dad always made a few dollars seem like a million bucks. While I was complaining about what was in my sack, Dad was trying to making sure that sack did not leak. Now that I am raising my own family, I understand. Thanks, Dad.

Lynda Carter will always and forever be our Wonder Woman, but her real passion is singing. Lynda will be performing her yearly concert in Los Angeles for two nights, April 11 & 12, 2014, at the Catalina Jazz Club. I was able to chat with her about the new tour, Arizona bill veto, kissing Kutcher and more. Enjoy!
Mike: Your upcoming tour is titled: The Time of My Life. Are you having the time of your life?
Lynda: I am having the time of my life! The title is very represented; it is a great time of my life. My kids are doing well, my life is going well. I'm happy, I'm working. It's more about the experiences in your life. Every day is going well. It's nice
Mike: What do you have in store for this year's audience?
Lynda: Every year I pull together a list of new songs I want to do. I go down to Nashville with the band and we all work on the new songs. I have a general idea how I want it to go. We create these new and different approaches to the songs. I'm thinking I want to do a mixture of old-timey and new.
I love Sara Bareilles' "Brave," the message in that song is really great. How it does takes courage to go out and tackle something new, and the line, "I want to see you brave" is just a great message. I love that and it's very inspiring. When I saw her video, it meant a lot more with people in the street just dancing, acting silly and just expressing themselves. When people get into an accident and they are recovering it takes courage and when you have a child it takes courage and it reflects all these things and I just think it's a wonderful song.
Mike: Talk about being brave . . . you are a great supporter of the GLBT community. Any thoughts about that horrible anti GLBT Arizona bill and Governor Jan Brewer's veto?
Lynda: I think it was outrageous. The fact that the Arizona legislature even passed it is shocking. Jan Brewer vetoed it, but similar bills are being considered in other states.
What I want to know is this…who is really behind it? It must be backed by some powerful money people.
Mike: What new songs will you be performing this year?
Lynda: There's this great song, "Blame it on your Heart" a Patty Loveless song. It's that …blame it on your life, cheating cold dead beating two timing double dealing means treating loving heart (laughs). Then there is "Some Day you Got to Dance" and there is an Amy Winehouse song. I might do a Gotye song. I don't know. I'll have to see how it turns out.
We are also working on adding a few more country songs. I try to keep true to the old-timey jamming feel but if it's not, then I approach with a little more jazz feel.
Mike: Are you doing any writing?
Lynda: Yes, there's a new video game coming out which I'm writing some songs for it and when I go to Nashville I'll be working on those as well. I'm real excited about it.
Mike: Are you looking forward to your return to the Catalina Club?
Lynda: One of the things that has happened that is really great is that I use the show at the Catalina Club to really fine tune the show before I go to The Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center. I love that room. I love the people who go there. They are up and out of their seats dancing. Anyway it has proved to be a very excellent launch to the show. We just have a great time.
Mike: I know, but you're the one who brings the good time. You are the ring master there missy. The Ringmaster!
Lynda: (laughs) Well, I know I am. I also know they can expect that they can be brave, get up and dance. You know.
Mike: Yeah
Lynda: It feels like it's in my backyard or living room. It's a part of the creative process. That is why I love the Catalina so much. We still are working out a few little things here and there.
Mike: And that is what is fun about a live show too…
Lynda: Yeah! And I love that anything can happen.
And it has proved to be a very excellent start to the year of doing a show and just recently The Jazz at the Lincoln Center as asked me to come back twice a year; once in the spring and again in the fall. Twice a year is a big deal. I'm very excited about it.
Mike: Any one thing stands out from last year's concert tour?
Lynda: Something exciting that happened when I was playing at the Mohegan Sun. I met Pete Marston, the son of the creator of Wonder Woman. He is in his 80s but keen of mind. He and his daughter Christie, great grandson Will, and granddaughter-in-law Laurie came to the see the show and I spent some time with them.
Then we went up to his house where he has a museum of Wonder Woman. Pete talked to me all about how his mother was really the most instrumental in creating Wonder Woman. Although his father got credited for the creation mostly, she said if we are going to do it we got to do it about a woman. She was very impressive on how she saw this woman.
It was so wonderful that I was able to meet these people whose father created something that changed my life.
Mike: Were you surprised by at all the different items they made of you as Wonder Woman?
Lynda: It's amazing and shocking! They have everything that has ever been created about Wonder Woman. Everything! It really is amazing, just unbelievable all of the things. Shocking actually! I put some of the pictures on Facebook. (www.facebook.com/OfficialLyndaCarter).
If you ever want to talk about Wonder Woman, Pete knows everything. And the coolest thing he said, "You're her exactly. Everyone was so worried how they were going to portray Wonder Woman. It was not about her super powers it was about her as a person."
The golden lasso, his father created the lie detector; the lasso is a lie detector. It was not so much about the super powers it's all about truth and comradely and all of that.
Mike: Talking about Wonder Woman . . . do you have any advice for upcoming actress Gal Gadot?
Lynda: None what-so-ever! She will have her hands full. I wish her luck. I don't know how much she is in the movie. The movie is about Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman is in there. I wish her well. I hope they portray Wonder Woman as she is intended to be.
If they ever re-do it, I would hope they would talk to me. They really should get a handle on what the intention was of Wonder Woman to begin with and keep the mission of peace.
Wonder Woman is having a reassurance. Microsoft is using my Wonder Woman in their commercials. In Vegas, they are making a slot machine with me on it.
Mike: Can you rate from 1-10 the Ashton Kutcher kiss?
Lynda: His Kiss….that would be weird, weird, weird! I can't even go there. I'll tell you this is the truth. When you are in rehearsal for a few days, you don't really kiss the person, you just go up to the point, so the camera knows where you are going to be, but you don't kiss them until you're actually going to really have a kiss. It's important in a final rehearsal or something. So we are doing this for a couple of days and I took him aside, I had my iPad with me, I said "Ashton I got to tell you something", he said "what?", "ok every time I'm about to kiss you," I said, "I just want to giggle." He was so nice he said "Oh don't worry about it." Thinking because he's Ashton Kutcher. I said "No, No, No you don't understand." Then I opened up my iPad and showed him a picture of my son. "This is my son. He's 26. This is too weird." He goes "AHHHHOOO" It's like Ashton is tall like my son. It was just weird, like OH NO…(laughing). It was so cougar. He's a bit old to be my son but still felt like that – and then I got over it.
Then in the end I kissed a girl, (Lynda sings) "I kissed a girl" and at the very end of it I was suppose come out and hug Amber Tamblyn and they asked "would you kiss her?" and I said "sure". She didn't even know I was going to do it. I took her face I smooched it and I kissed her really hard. Now that was fun!
Lynda Carter's The Time of My Life concert runs April 11 & 12 at the Catalina Jazz Club (6725 West SUNSET Blvd., HOLLYWOOD, CA. 90028). Tickets available at www.catalinajazzclub.com or www.lyndacarter.com.

Lee Morgan: Cornbread
Lee Morgan (trumpet)
Cornbread (Blue Note 84222)
Lee Morgan (trumpet), Jackie McLean (alto sax), Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Herbie Hancock (piano), Larry Ridley (bass), Billy Higgins (drums).
Composed by Lee Morgan.
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, NJ, September 18, 1965
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
Though Lee Morgan never scored another hit after 1963's "The Sidewinder," he continued to churn out some of the grooviest cuts in the Blue Note archives. "Cornbread" was one of his catchiest. The trumpeter explodes into his solo and then sassily slides and smears his was through three downright filthy choruses. Hank Mobley—whom critic Leonard Feather dubbed the "middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone"—sounds pumped up for a title bout. Morgan may captain this ship but his rhythm section is roiling the waters. Hancock lays down some of his funkiest comping on record, and Higgins's sturdy R&B groove carries the band while his punchy snare drum pokes at each soloist, inspiring some spirited blowing.

Patents: Why They Matter
By Josh Simons on Dec 11, 2006
For engineers, the patent process may seem to end once a patent has been granted, but that is far from the truth. You inventors should understand that your work and your innovations continue to play important roles for Sun by highlighting Sun as an innovator and through other means.
Patents have traditionally encouraged individuals and organizations to innovate by granting exclusive rights to inventors. Sun has pursued two complementary paths by building both a strong patent portfolio (see the latest IEEE Spectrum patent survey) and by building a strong track record of participation and donation to the open source community. Our patents give us certain rights for our commercial products, but they also play an important defensive role when negotiating patent cross-licensing agreements with other companies.
Over the past year or so, I've been acting as a technical advisor in a series of cross-licensing meetings with another company that will not be named. We've spent considerable time in these meetings discussing patents whose inventors are friends and colleagues of mine at Sun. I thought I'd explain briefly how such meetings work for those not familiar with the process.
In negotiating a cross-licensing agreement, each side seeks to demonstrate to the other the strength of their patent portfolio by mapping one or more of their patents onto the other company's products. For each such attempt, a proof package is presented. The proof package is a set of slides that introduce a patent and the demonstrate in detail how the other company's product(s) implement every element of a representative claim chosen from the patent. To map successfully, all of the multiple elements of the claim must be shown to exist within the product that is alleged to infringe.
Over a series of meetings, rebuttals to proof packages will also be presented. As you'd guess, a rebuttal is an attempt to demonstrate why a previously-presented proof package was incorrect. It might be incorrect due to a misunderstanding of a product's functionality, or due to a demonstration that the product in question was created using prior art.
The aim in these meetings is to score as many credible hits as possible in order to demonstrate the strength and relevance of one's patent portfolio so as to put one's company in a position of strength when negotiating the particulars of the cross-licensing agreement. Patents are the essential bargaining chips in the negotiation.
There's a bit of a MAD flavor to all of this. Hits that map onto a company's products can be expensive, depending on the product and the impacted revenue. The most effective way to neutralize such a situation is by scoring hits in the other direction to achieve a balance of sorts. The logic of this is simple enough: Patents are important as a defensive weapon because without them Sun would be at an extreme disadvantage in situations like these. Basically, if someone is shooting at you, you had better be able to fire back with something of equal or better weight. While the defensive aspect isn't pretty (can't we all just get along?), it is a reality that Sun cannot afford to ignore. It's a tough world out there, boys and girls.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Myrick, Bert (Wilbert)
Myrick, Bert (Wilbert), drummer; b. Detroit, MI, 20 March 1930.
Myrick spent his first 14 years in the Holbrook/Russell area on Detroit's near east side. His parents, Martha and Wyman, from Warrington, Georgia, moved to Detroit shortly before Bert was born. He's the third of five children, and Bert is the only one who became a musician or." His parents separated early in Bert's life and his mother struggled to sustain her family. She was very supportive of her children and encouraged each of them to follow their heart and, perhaps as a result of the freedom its members were given, the family has always been close. Bert's mom instilled in her children a clear-cut work ethic and a strong sense of family, values Bert took to heart.
Bert was eager to study drums during music class in grade school but another student gained the drum chair. Bert practiced on his makeshift kit at home. When he got to Cleveland Intermediate School at age 13, he received instruction on his chosen instrument, and his mother got him his drum set. Although he liked the big band radio broadcasts that were common during the mid 1940s, Myrick bought records by Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. While in Pershing High School, Myrick would "go around with different friends and we'd go to different houses and set up and play." He worked part time after school and, upon his graduation in 1947, joined the Army Reserves to help support his family. When he returned from the Reserves late in 1948, Myrick was self-conscious about his lack of formal music training and didn't have enough confidence to play music professionally. He confined his musical activities to practici ng and jamming with his friends. In addition, Bert (then eighteen years old) began to explore his options with the fairer sex and this occupied a lot of his time. Myrick was drafted in 1950 during the Korean conflict. He served as a heavy equipment operator in a Combat Engineering division. Driving a bulldozer or operating a crane, he helped build bridges and roads near the front lines. Surviving the war and developing confidence in his abilities, Myrick returned to Detroit a grown man. He found a burgeoning jazz scene, one that included many players such as Tommy Flanagan, Kenny Burrell and bassist Vishnu Wood who would shortly migrate to New York City with a major impact upon the city and its musicians. His first job was with the William Bell Quartet. Myrick began to sit in at clubs that hosted jam sessions, like the West End Hotel and the World Stage. He became friendly with members of Detroit's inner jazz circle. However, most of his early jobs were with less well known bands, like the Bell group, or with "jump" bands, like the one led by veteran saxophonist Floyd "Candy" Johnson. He paid attention to Johnson's onstage deportment and learned the importance of punctuality. Myrick recorded for the Fortune label with a group that included saxophonist and future Motown legend Thomas "Beans" Bowles. The band was used as a backup for various vocal groups, names of which have long since slipped from memory. Bert Myrick became friends with Elvin Jones, then playing at the Blue Bird Inn with the Billy Mitchell Quintet. Bert also made the now-legendary sessions in saxophonist Joe Brazil's basement, located just down the street from Myrick's house. "Everybody you can name used to come by those sessions," Myrick recalls. "I talked to Trane (John Coltrane) for about an hour, sitting on the basement steps. That's when he had left Miles and was looking for a drummer to go with him, but I had a family, two sons," he says, reflecting on his missed opportunity. Myrick got a "day job" shortly after he married Geraldine Moses in June 1954. Then, as now, a sideman's salary was not sufficient to support a family. Myrick wanted to get a job as a crane operator, but in 1953 a black man couldn't get such work. Bert got a job at the Chrysler Tank Arsenal instead, but he felt the regimented assembly line work was too confining. Myrick became friendly with pianist Barry Harris around 1955. Harris, the doyen of Detroit's beboppers, is one of the great jazz teachers, and Bert learned a lot from him. There was a special chemistry between the two musicians that sparked the music, although Myrick typically gives credit to Harris for most of the magic. Myrick and bassist Ernie Farrow worked in Harris's trio at the Blue Bird Inn in the late 1950s. The group expanded to a quintet on occasion with the addition of Kiane Zawadi (trombone / euphonium) and Sonny Red (alto sax). The trio also worked jobs in Cleveland, and the quintet once drove to Manhattan in Bert's car to record numbers from the soundtrack of "Flower Drum Song". When Harris pulled up stakes and moved to New York in 1960, Myrick joined pianist Terry Pollard's trio at the Hobby Bar. Pianist Kenn Cox, who first heard Myrick play at Joe B's, has been Bert's admirer and frequent rhythm section partner for thirty years. Myrick's musical vocabulary does not include genres other than jazz. He was one of the few musicians around town who was not involved with Motown Records during the 1960's. He was the first drummer with the newly formed Austin-Moro big band, and worked with vibraphonist Jack Brokensha's quartet. In 1964 Myrick, then 34, joined the quintet led by trombonist George Bohanon and tenor saxophonist Ronnie Fields. Bohanon and Fields worked in drummer Bill Hyde's quintet at Odum's Cave in April of that year. After the job ended, they formed their own band. Groups like Chico Hamilton's (with whom Bohanon played in 1962) and the Jazz Crusaders popularized the tenor / trombone front line and the sound was a favorite of Bohanon's. The rhythm section fluctuated at first but stabilized with Myrick, Austin and Cox. The quintet had two main jobs, the Village Gate, and Paige's Lounge, with short stays at the Drome Lounge, Chit Chat Lounge and an after hours gig at the West End Hotel. Myrick enjoyed -- thrived, even-- on the Coltrane-flavored repertoire, then very popular among musicians. "We were influenced by Coltrane from back to front, especially Ronnie," Cox recalls. "Ronnie and I did most of the writing for the group, and in addition we had several Coltrane numbers in the book." The band stayed busy with concerts and club dates and garnered good press. Bohanon and Fields made overtures to Limelight Records about the possibility of a recording contract. Limelight liked the idea but wanted a sound closer to the Jazz Crusaders, then selling many discs for Pacific Jazz Records. Ironically, the Crusaders recorded three of Cox's compositions ("Trance Dance" & "The Latin Bit" were issued), turned up at Bohanon-Fields rehearsals and incorporated some of what they heard into their own sound. Not surprisingly, Limelight's demand struck the wrong chord with the musicians and led to the breakup of the quintet, according to Myrick. Fields dropped out early in 1966, during their Village Gate gig. Miller Brisker was hired as a stand-in, but the revised quintet lost their steady job when the Village Gate dropped its music policy in September of that year. The band dissolved shortly after and the musicians scattered: Fields had a series of day jobs, moved to California and sold upscale automobiles in San Francisco. Bohanon, too, settled in California and established himself as a first-call studio musician. Cox, Austin and Myrick stayed in Detroit and continued to energize the jazz scene. Myrick and Austin remained with Terry Pollard. Bert continued with Terry Pollard's trio and freelanced occasionally. When Pollard disbanded her trio due to illness in 1978, Myrick found few jazz gigs, and he gradually became disenchanted with Detroit and wanted a change of scenery. He moved to New York City in 1978 and prospered on the competitive Manhattan jazz scene. His credentials are solid and include work with pianists Red Garland and Monty Alexander. He returned to Detroit in 1996 to care for his mother. Since his homecoming Bert has conducted drum clinics and seminars, and was a member of the house trio at Baker's Keyboard Lounge. Recently he's led his own group at Baker's, plays with many Detroit and Ann Arbor musicians and works steadily with pianist Alma Smith's trio.
Material from a concert at the University of Michigan student union on April 4, 1965. It was recorded by Kenn Cox and produced by drummer Bud Spangler. It was released in 1974 under Myrick's name.

Fiat Chrysler formally announced the return of Alfa Romeo to the U.S. today (April 16) with the debut of the all-new 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C at the New York Auto Show. In celebration of that return, Alfa Romeo will be offering a very limited number (500 only) of a special Launch Edition. Those first 500 Alfa Romeo 4C coupes will be serialized and include a special Launch Edition plaque.
The new Alfa Romeo 4C will be sold through a select group of Fiat Design Studios across North America beginning later this year. The special 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition will be available this June and will be offered in Alfa Red (Rosso Competizione) and in White (Madreperla).
Special treatments on the Launch Edition will include Bi-xenon headlamps with LED illuminated daytime running lights, carbon fiber rear spoiler and mirror caps, aluminum rear diffuser, race suspension tuning with front- and rear-sway bars and performance-tuned shock absorbers, racing exhaust, staggered 18-inch (front) and 19-inch (rear) forged wheels painted in Dark Gray, red lacquered brake calipers, sport seats with black microfiber, leather-wrapped instrument and door panels and Red or White interior accent stitching on the instrument panel, steering wheel, handbrake, floor mats and door handles.
The Alpha 4C leads the Italian brand's highly anticipated return to North America. The new 4C takes its inspiration from the century-old tradition of Alfa Romeo while projecting the brand's authentic values into the future including: Italian style, performance and engineering excellence, offering maximum driving satisfaction in total safety, says Fiat Chrysler.
The "4C" name recalls Alfa Romeo's great sporting tradition: the acronyms 8C and 6C in the 1930s and 1940s distinguished racing and road cars fitted with powerful eight and six cylinder engines. The 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C model's designation will continue this tradition with their latest all-aluminum 1750 cc turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 237 horsepower with 258 lb.-ft. of torque.
The new engine is mated to a paddle-shifting Alfa TCT twin-clutch transmission, which has been specifically tuned for the all-new Alfa Romeo 4C. An innovative Alfa DNA selector (with "Race" mode) enables the driver to optimize the right level of performance through four driving modes. With a touch of the Alfa DNA selector, the drive performance of the Alfa Romeo 4C can be changed. The modes (in order of increasing capability) are: All-weather, Natural for touring type driving, Dynamic to step up the driving performance and the ultimate Race that puts the driver in total control of the car under race conditions.
In Race, the ESC and anti-slip regulation (ASR) are deactivated to allow the driver to control traction through the accelerator pedal. A launch control function can be activated in the Race mode, allowing the Alfa Romeo 4C to deliver 0-to-60 mph acceleration in the mid-4 second range.
The new Alfa Romeo 4C is uses leveraged advanced materials and technological solutions from Formula 1, including a mid-engine design with carbon fiber monocoque, aluminum chassis structures and a composite body shell for an ultra-lightweight coupe that will deliver with supercar-level performance. The new Alfa Romeo 4C is a combination of the best technical and manufacturing competencies of two Fiat-owned brands, Alfa Romeo and Maserati – who are generally considered the heart of racing from Italy.
Pricing for the new Alfa Romeo or the Launch Edition was not included with the announcement today nor was the date that orders could be first placed. Based on prior experience with limited or launch editions, interested buyers should be in touch with their local Fiat Design Studio right now to have a shot at getting a 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition.

I'd like to use eventcreate from a batch file to log the results of a file copy job (robocopy). What I'd really like to do is use the output of the file copy job as the description of the event (/D of createevent). The trouble is, there are multiple lines in the file copy output, and I've only been able to get one line into a local variable or a pipe command.
I've tried reading a local variable in from file, like
set /P myVar=<temp.txt
but it only gets the first line.
How can I write multiple lines to the description of an event from a batch file?

The omnivorous sun bear lives on a diet consisting mostly of termites, birds, small mammals, and even bits of oil palms, and other commercial crops.
Sun bears are the smallest of all the bears. The adults only weigh up to 145 pounds, and measure at the longest 60 inches.
This bear can be found in Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma, Bangledesh, and many other countries in the Southeastern portions of Asia. However, poaching and deforestration have been slowly eroding the available population and habitat.
As for reproductive habits, there is little available information. Captive breeding has produced such wildly different gestation periods that scientists are not even sure if the sun bear has a mechanism of delayed implantation.

A film about famed U.S. singer Bill Withers is just one offering of the upcoming San Diego Black Film Festival, according to organizers. The festival gets underway at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 30, and ends Feb. 2 at The Reading Gaslamp 15, 701 Fifth Ave., San Diego. Dozens of films from an international line-up of directors will be shown. Karen Willis, the festival's director, said while the event is shorter than others, it's "known for having major star power." While Willis would not specify exact numbers, said thousands are expected to attend this year. "What's new this year is that, like most other festivals, we will now offer a single opening day film whereas we used to offer several opening films," Willis explained. "The new single opening film gives us an opportunity to focus heavily on the opening day film." Along with exposing audiences to a wide range of movies, "if several filmmakers obtain distribution deals as a result of their film's screening at the SDBFF, we've done our job," Willis added. As two examples of that, an industry party is set for 10 p.m. on Friday, and actress Robin Givens will host the festival's awards and dinner gala at 7 p.m. on Feb. 1. Also, three panel discussions starting at 10 a.m. Saturday will focus on film production, distribution and creating content. Other highlights include: • Thursday: "Tula: The Revolt," a co-production of the Netherlands and Netherlands Antilles, starring Danny Glover and Obi Abili. A slave revolt led by Tula brings freedom to a captured people on the island of Curacao. A short drama, "Space Out," will proceed "Tula." • Saturday: A free screening of "Still Bill," with recording star Bill Withers -- a Grammy award-winning musician known for hits like "Lean on Me," "Lovely Day" and "Just The Two of Us" -- at 10 a.m. • Sunday: The festival will close with foreign-diaspora films, starting at 10 a.m. Ticket prices range from $10 to $100.

Transgenic mice are highly valuable tools for biological research as they allow cell type-specific expression of functionally instrumental genes. In this protocol, the generation of bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgenic constructs is described. We give an overview of different transgenic inserts, such as fluorescent proteins (alone or in combination with Cre variants), diphtheria toxin receptor, lacZ, and light-activated ion channels. The most reliable and versatile approach to express these genes is by using BACs, which allow "highjacking" of the expression pattern of a gene without characterizing its transcriptional control elements. Here, we describe the necessary cloning techniques compared with conventional transgenesis. With the provided "toolbox" of already available transgene constructs, the generation of the BAC transgenes is made easy and rapid. We provide a comprehensive outline how to insert the different transgenes into a chosen BAC by either ET cloning or recombineering. We also describe in detail the methods to identify the correct insertion and the integrity of the final BAC construct, and finally, the preparation of the BAC DNA for oocyte injection is described. genesis 00:1-17, 2010.

Stoner spent more time in gravel traps and on his backside when he tried to ride for Ducati. He's a snivelling, whining little snot-wipe who will never get anywhere near Rossi in terms of talent or achievement. Rossi's development of the M1 is why Lorenzo is so strong. Stoner developed nothing for Ducati, now Rossi will and that bike and the 1000 that comes next will win titles for whoever rides it.

A Quote by Teresa Watkins on curiosity, day, garden, god, heart, joy, justice, life, peace, thought, wonder, work, and world
Finding what brings peace and joy to your heart is important after a hard day at work, or just living in our intense world. Walking through your garden at the end of the day can rejuvenate you. I wonder if God, Allah, Jehovah, Shiva, Gaia or whatever Supreme Being you have come to know, looks down on the Garden that He or She created with all the different varieties of life and "oohs and aahs "? It is a curious thought, but I think so.
