For a real taste of the democratic process, take the time to participate in your neighborhood caucus. In Summit County, the Democrats will convene on March 18 and the Republicans will meet March 20.
If you are unfamiliar with the process don't be shy - you will likely be welcomed with open arms. There are often more delegate spots to fill than there are volunteers. No particular expertise is required - just a genuine interest in serving the best interests of your community.
At its best, the caucus system allows the smallest voice to be heard and carried forward to the next level. At its worst, especially when participation is low, it is vulnerable to manipulation by special interests hoping to sway election results before the ballots are finalized.
During the upcoming caucuses, held in school auditoriums throughout the county, citizens break up into precincts to select delegates to the county and state conventions. The goal is to establish widespread representation from as many neighborhoods as possible. If there are more volunteers than delegate spots, there may be an informal vote, but in many cases, if you raise your hand, you're it.
The delegates' next duty, after studying the slate of candidates, is to attend their party's county convention. The Summit County Democrats have scheduled theirs on March 29, the Republicans on April 3. At that point their job is to narrow the field of candidates in any race in which there is more than one candidate.
This year, there was a statewide debate about doing away with the neighborhood caucuses in favor of direct primaries. Granted, there are merits and pitfalls associated with both. Some say the caucuses cut regular voters out of the process, others say they serve to broaden local representation.
Either way caucuses only work when concerned citizens participate.
There is a lot at stake, regardless of party affiliation. This year, Summit County voters will choose a whole slate of department heads, including a new sheriff and auditor. To ensure the very best candidates end up on November's ballot - the ones who have the best skills and the best intentions - it is imperative to have broad, truly representative participate at the upcoming caucuses.

Why do objects always 'tend' to move in straight lines? How come, everytime I see a curved path that an object takes, I can always say that the object tends to move in a straight line over 'small' distances, but as you take into account the curvature of the path, a force acting on the particle appears. I mean, I can always take a small enough portion of the curve, zoom in enough, and conclude that the object is moving in a straight line, but then as I zoom out I find out that a force is acting on the particle. The force of gravity is everywhere and, no matter how weak it is, it will make the particle take a path which is different from a straight line. This is my question: since particles are, in reality, never moving in straight lines, is Newton's first law a mathematical formalism or some true property of material objects?
Nice question! The answer to this depends on the version of Newton's first law you use.
In the Principia, the statement of the first law, as translated by Machin, is:
This is immediately followed by a series of examples:
Of the three examples, not one involves motion in a straight line! Since the first law is stated in the Principia in words rather than equations, there's a lot of room for ambiguity. Keep in mind as well that scientists reading the Principia in that era didn't know calculus, and vectors weren't invented until centuries later. Newton had to write in language his contemporaries would understand, even if it was at the cost of precision.
There are many different ways in which the first law has been stated over the years, as described in this question: History of interpretation of Newton's first law .
You can modify it to be a statement that if you choose a specific axis $x$, then the absence of any forces in the $x$ direction gives $dv_x/dt=0$ at that instant in time. This is probably the interpretation that's most directly suggested by Newton's three examples.
You can modify it to be a statement about objects that are acted on by zero total force.
As described in the other question, it's now popular (probably due to the influence of the analysis in Mach 1919) to describe it as a statement about the existence of inertial frames.
Gravity does present some unique issues, since it's a long-range force and can't be shielded against. Mach 1919 gave a very thorough and insightful critique of the logical basis of Newton's laws. Here is my own presentation of the question of what the first law really means and some experimental tests. In general relativity, we define a free-falling frame as an inertial frame, so that the motion of a projectile is defined to be "straight."
Ernst Mach, "The Science Of Mechanics," 1919, http://archive.org/details/scienceofmechani005860mbp
Your premise appears to be that imperfections in the physical world can invalidate precise mathematical statements. However, there is a difference between a statement not applying in detail and a statement being entirely invalid.
Sure, you can always look closely enough and find forces acting on an object. Similarly, if you have a gas someone claims is at $300\ \mathrm{K}$ you could always look close enough and find deviations. But that doesn't mean the concept of "$300\ \mathrm{K}$" isn't intimately tied to physical objects. The property
or more pedantically
very much belongs to real objects in the real world, even if none of them in practice have the property
As I see it, then, the law of inertia can be seen to hold in two different ways:
An invaluable read for you would be Richard Feynman the characteristic of physical law. He explains in his inimitable manner that laws can only ever be described by mathematics. Then experimentation tries to reveal imperfections in the model described by the math. As with Einstein bringing relativity in to the previous view of Newtonian mechanics, one can never rule out an observation in nature may one day falsify a truth that you currently hold dear.
You assume that particles never move in straight lines. This cannot be proven and is not necessary in physics. But even if you assume it, then Newton's 1st law states that these particles not moving in straight lines are acted upon by other bodies. It is a statement about existing situation, it is non-mathematical, so I think it is a physical law.
In Newton's view, it is not a property of the material objects only. The important part is that the motion is to be observed with respect to absolute space, or in the view common today, inertial frame.
The trajectory of an object you consider is dependent on the scale on which you track its motion. For objects over small speeds or distances, the necessity to correct the trajectory to account the curvature of the earth or the gravity of the moon doesn't exist. However, if you consider longer distances, longer scales or higher velocities, the trajectories are more "sensitive" to smaller changes i.e., seemingly smaller things (like the curvature of the earth or the gravity pull of the moon) have a larger influence on things of a.) higher mass, b.)higher velocity c.)processes on a larger time scale.
So, they don't actually move in a straight line, but for Newtonian mechanics, you can assume they do and you'd not be measurably wrong.
There are at least two distinct things you can do with a physical theory, one is to use is it to understand the universe, the other is to make a testable prediction that could aim to falsify the theory.
There is some potential overlap, for instance, to make a testable predictable, you have to be able to compute something accurately enough to have a prediction, so the theory has to postulate its predictions in terms of something well-understood enough to allow predictions.
But since understanding is so personal, I'll now focus on Newton's Laws as they are used to make predictions and falsify other theories and laws. Which is what I think the laws are about, so not merely (or really at all) mathematical.
Newton's laws of motion first require some laws of mass and forces (these are terms that come up in Newton's laws).
Newton's law of mass were about how mass depended on say size or density (less you think that is tautological, relative size and relative density are things you measure, so mass is a thing proportional to both).
Then there are Force Laws (there are many, ones for gravity, ones for springs, etc.)
Newton's third law of motion then constrains what force laws you consider (effectively you only use/consider force laws that conserve momentum). So this law isn't math, it's telling you to reject certain force laws even before you do any measurements.
Newton's second law of motion turns these force laws into predictions about motion, thus allowing the force laws to be tested, not just eliminated for violating conservation of momentum. This works because he postulates that we can test force laws by using calculus and then looking at the prediction from solutions to second order differential equations. This one can help you to understand a force law by understanding solutions to differential equations. So this law isn't math, it's telling you to reject certain force laws after you do some calculations (predictions) and measurements.
Newton's first law of motion then excludes certain solutions that the second law allowed. I'm not saying that historically Newton knew this, but it is possible (see Nonuniqueness in the solutions of Newton's equation of motion by Abhishek Dhar Am. J. Phys. 61, 58 (1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17411 ) to have solutions to F=ma that violate Newton's first law. So adding the first law says to throw out those solutions.
In summary: the third law constrains the forces to consider, the second makes predictions so you can test the force laws, and the first constrains the (too many?) solutions that the second law allows. They all have a purpose, they all do something.
And you need to first have laws of mass and/or laws of forces before any of Newton's laws of motion mean anything. The purpose of the laws of motion isn't to be mathematics, it is to falsify laws of force and mass. That's what they are, that's what they do.

The research mission of the Department of Physiology is to explore how the complex cellular phenotypes that underlie the integrated functions of the tissues and organ systems comprising higher living organisms, emerge from the genomic code.
The origins of the Department of Physiology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine began with H. Newell Martin, Sc.D. (1843-1893) who, in 1883, was Professor of Biology. Martin was a former student of the great 19th century biologist Thomas Huxley, one of the earliest proponents of Darwin's theory of evolution.
Our research program extends from computational methods to developmental genetics and post-genomic strategies—from bacteria and yeast, to zebrafish, mouse, and man.

Land snail shells adorning a skeleton
There are innumerable examples of the use of the shells of marine snails as jewelry, decoration or tools throughout human history. I have written about some examples in this post and this post.
Examples of comparable uses of land snails shells, on the other hand, are harder to come by. That is probably because most land snail shells are less prettier and much thinner, therefore, less durable than marine snail shells.
A note in the January/February 2011 issue of Archaeology mentions a skeleton from around 800 BCE found in Peru that was adorned with about 180 land snail shells. The shells visible in the picture accompanying the article are quite large. The ancient Peruvians were undoubtedly paying attention to at least the larger snails around them.

Bichon Frise Health Issues!
Before you get any pet take the time to check for health issues, temperment, allergies and more. Bichon Frise do have issues as any breed does. See the following URL for health issues.
Bichon related URL below
http://www.bichon.org/health.htm also see http://www.bichon.org/faq.htm for more information before you buy a Bichon Frise.
Bichons are great and I love them. However, they do tend to suffer from bladder stones. Our female bichon has had 4 cycstotomies to remove these large stones. Our vet was suggesting that we put her down as she was a "stone former" and would have to be operated on frequently. Thankfully, we found a new vet and she suggested a food by Waltham's "lower urinary tract support". This food has been a life saver. Our Emerald is now one healthy and happy dog with new life and vigor. I would strongly suggest this to all owners whose dogs suffer from bladder stones.
Gayaleen mitchell:
Hi loraine. It was very interesting reading about your bichon having kindey stones and i am so pleased you found another vet who was supportive. I am so pleased that your bichon is so much better and that you didnot have to put him down. I had a bichon who also had a kidney stone that was the size of a apricot stone. The vet removed it and he was so much better. My bichon had liver problems and the vet said that was what caused the stone. Because he had liver problems the vet said i would need to put him down, he lasted another 7 yrs, i am so thankful i didnot. He still had lots of fun and enjoyment and lots of visits to the vet but i loved him and miss him very much. T hank you all so much for giving me the oppurtunity to reply to your website, it is fantasic. Thanks Im from New Zealand. :)http:// 8)
Oxalate cyrstal precipitaton (kidney stones to you and I) are caused
by an incomplete metabolism of carbohydrates. For unknown reasons,
in humans this can be prevented by supplementing with B6 and
magnesium. (This is for oxalate type stones only Not urea type
stones.). No noe knows if it helps the krebs cycle, or simply
prevents the precipitation in the kidneys.
Since both are water soluable and excreted if given in too high a
dose, I certainly would try it on my own dog. Just take the human
recommended dose and divide it appropriately.
How do I know this? I had oxalate type stones. The doctor wated to
put me on diuretics for life, which I flatly refused to do. It took a
LOT of research and hours in the library, but I did find out about it.
AND I am not on a pack of medication to make up for my electrolytes
being disrupted by diuretics, as I surely would have been had I
folowed my urologist's advice..
When I am faithful with the supplements, no more stones. (12 years)
However, whenever I feel something unusual, like I did for months
leading to the acute pain and ureter blockage, I go back on the
supplements. It takes a while, but I have not had any more stone
episodes requiring lithotrypsy or the like.
FWIW, I find Science Diet food to be less than satisfactory. I tend
not to trust it, even though their marketing skills are without peer.
And to people who should know better
Good Luck

DeLand senior cornerback Jackie Johnson (5-10, 165) was a productive player last season, racking up 53 tackles and an interception.
But Johnson said he believes he has to do more this year to catch the eyes of recruiters.
"I just have to show my talent," Johnson said.
"I feel good about where I'm at. (My play last year) got me to talk to a lot of (college) coaches. I just have to show one more year on film, and I think they will come with offers."
Johnson said he has heard the most from Wofford, Bethune-Cookman and Tennessee State.
"(Wofford defensive backs coach ShaDon Brown) said he likes the way I communicate, and that he thought I was one of the best defensive backs he saw," Johnson said. "They are probably my favorite right now."

Kopecky says Panthers need to show more desperation
Here's gamer…Dineen is unhappy with sloppy play in neutral zone. I'm thinking the All-Star break couldn't be coming at a better time. Panthers should be completely healthy (other than Jovo) after the break and more cohesive with the influx of returning players getting some time to play together.
CHICAGO— Perhaps the Panthers would've been better off if their team bus got stuck in a snow drift instead of arriving so late to the United Center that the game had to be delayed for 30 minutes.
Even with three veteran forwards returning to the lineup after lengthy injury-related absences, the Panthers had few answers for backup goalie Ray Emery as the Western Conference-leading Blackhawks buried them 3-1 on a snowy Friday night.
The reeling Panthers have now lost 10 of their last 13 games (3-6-4), including a season-long eight in a row (0-4-4) on the road. They did get out of snow-blanketed Chicago after the game to make the long trek to play Winnipeg Saturday night, but they're just 1-4-1 while being outscored 25-7 in second games of back-to-backs.
The Panthers are on the brink of going from one of the top three teams in the Eastern Conference all season to out of a playoff berth into ninth place if they lose to Winnipeg and the Maple Leafs down Montreal Saturday.
"We've gone from taking a lot of pride in getting the puck through the neutral zone to being a very sloppy team," Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said. "We need to clean that up and keep pushing in the right direction versus keep turning back and putting pressure on ourselves."
With Scottie Upshall, Jack Skille and Sean Bergenheim back in the lineup after being out for 30, 13 and 12 games respectively, the Panthers played the Blackhawks even for the first 17:40.
Seconds after Stephen Weiss and Kris Versteeg were stymied on a two-on-one break, Patrick Kane's pass sprung All-Star center Jonathan Toews on a breakaway which he slipped past goalie Jose Theodore for his 27th goal and fifth in his last four games.
"I got to figure this out pretty soon. It hasn't been going in but I got to find ways," said Versteeg, who's mired in a nine-game goal drought. "I don't where I've been."
Then with Keaton Ellerby in the penalty box on a questionable boarding call that had GM Dale Tallon fuming, Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith's long slap shot made it 2-0 with 17 seconds left in the first period.
Panthers defenseman Jason Garrison spoiled Emery's shutout bid at 19:17 of the third with one of his patented blasts from the point, a power-play goal and his 13th of the season to lead all NHL defensemen.
However, a desperate team needs to put more than four shots on the net in the third period or shoot a season-low 19 overall.
"Everybody believes in each other. We've got to find a way to win hockey games," said Tomas Kopecky, a former Hawk. "I wouldn't say sloppy or anything but we're just battling adversity, not getting bounces and push through it.
"When we play that desperate Panthers' hockey that's where we are at our best. Maybe we're trying too much."
Kane, a close friend of Versteeg, snapped his seven-game scoring drought when he finished off a 2-on-1 break by wristing it through Theodore for his 11th goal at 13:05 of the second. The Hawks, who have gone 5-0-1 in their last six games, are now 21-0-2 when leading after two.
So much for the sentimental lift expected from the five returning former Blackhawks from their 2010 Stanley Cup run, including Versteeg, who got his first look at the championship banner he figuratively hoisted to the rafters.
"Yeah, it's special to look up there and see something that was accomplished by a bunch of guys who played hard every night for each other," said Versteeg, who sports a tatoo with the date (6-9-2010) the Blackhawks clinched the final series against the Flyers.
Defenseman Brian Campbell, forward Tomas Kopecky played here last season, and center John Madden, who won two Cups with the Devils and one with Chicago, was here with the Wild.
Skille only played six games that season and didn't get his name on the Cup.

Happy Monday!! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!!
BFF. Best Friends Forever. I totally remember using this phrase in middle school. I even had a BFF necklace that had 2 parts of a heart that my best friend and I shared. Ahh, the good old days. I am not going to bust out any of my old pictures of me and my best friends in middle school, high school or even college. I am approaching 29 years old and am starting to realize that those pictures are getting "dated". :)
I am going to share a quick page that I made today with the kit "BFF" by 300dpi by DCWV. This is a picture of my best friend, Aubery. We met freshman year of college and are still super close today. When we get together, it is like no time has passed. Those are the best kinds of friendships.
This is such a fun kit, I love the colors in it. That raspberry red is so fun with the bright colors. I am having so much fun making pages with our 300dpi kits!
A new feature on 300dpi.com is a Member Gallery where you can upload your own digital scrapbook pages and we can all see them and comment on them! So much fun....
Have a great Monday!!!

Walking into Haines Gallery I was met at the door by 'Traces of Places', the newest show of Mike Henderson's abstract paintings. Strong, bold works, the paintings one view are also fully of lush textures and subtleties that embrace you while walking up to them. But for all of this, there is an overall feeling of reflection conveyed through individual works and the show as a whole.
Mike Henderson began painting in the 1960s, and has been working non-stop ever since. Emerging with an aggressive figurative style at the beginning of his career, Henderson moved to abstract painting fully after a fire consumed his studio and archives in the early 1990s. The consistent quality to his painting throughout his career is his love of thick impasto and heavy textures, and this newest show has all of that on display.
Coming up to any of his works, the first thing one realizes is how much movement is conveyed on the canvas. This is achieved by both by his choice of colors, their juxtaposition next to each other, and in the heavy impasto, which records every brush make and palate knife stoke in the paint surface. Next, the subtleties emerge out of the paint in the cohesiveness on the overall composition and the rhythms of the forms he creates. Finally, we stand back and let the hidden elements of the piece emerge.
While abstract, Henderson sees his paintings as both landscapes and the records of memories and impressions of experiences in his mind. The short, parallel stripes of color present in many of the canvases recall fields of crops as much as they do African textiles and American quilts. In several paintings circular forms, sometimes hidden and other times perfectly up front, recall either the sun or moon. However, relying on visual references only to interpret the work would miss out on another key aspect of Henderson's art and life.
In addition to being a master painter, Mike Henderson is also an accomplished blues guitarist. Having played across the globe at numerous venues, music is a key element in everything Henderson does. Returning to the works on display, in many we can hear the music in the paint, the long guitar riffs and emotional resonance of blues music evident in the movement and texture of the paint.
Despite the vibrancy of the canvases, there is an overall feeling of reflection in the show, with the canvases being records moments lived, not only those of their execution, but those experienced outside of the studio. Henderson retired from 34 years of teaching at UC Davis in 2013 and is now devoting himself to working in the studio. With additional time on his hands and the burdens of teaching lifted, it is not surprising that he would be reflective on his life or that it would appear in his work. Rather than being somber and dark, Mike Henderson's bright canvases reveal an artist who is still thriving for experience and looking ahead to what life still has to offer.
'Traces of Places' by Mike Henderson in on view at Haines Gallery until July 3, 2014. 49 Geary St., Fifth Floor, San Francisco, CA 94108; (415) 397-8114; Tues. - Fri. 10:30 - 5:30, Sat. 10:30 - 5:00.

"As a company focused on developing AAV-based products for important therapeutic indications, we strive to enhance the natural properties of AAV that give these vectors great potential in treating a diverse array of diseases," remarks H. Stewart Parker, president and CEO. "Use of the small molecule compounds described in this patent may increase the transduction efficiency that we can achieve with AAV vectors. In turn, increased transduction efficiency may help to increase the therapeutic effect of AAV-based products and also may allow for smaller doses, which could result in increased tolerability and reduced per-dose cost.
"AAV vectors have demonstrated excellent safety profiles in our clinical trials and have a number of other attributes that make them quite promising as an approach for introducing therapeutic genes into target cells."
"Studies in our laboratory have shown that a number of small molecules have the ability to increase the efficiency of AAV transduction in cell culture and animal models," adds John Engelhardt, Ph.D., director of the Center for Gene Therapy, professor and head of the department of anatomy and cell biology at the University of Iowa, and an inventor on the patent. "The use of small molecule compounds, several of which already are approved by the FDA for use in other indications, may add to the efficiency of the AAV transduction process, making AAV vectors even more attractive as a platform for developing novel therapies."

The Scourge Project: Episodes 1 and 2
Installation failure
The setup application launches as-normal. Upon reaching the actual installation phase, the progress bar immediately fills to about 25%, and the information bar states "Installation aborted - Setup was not completed successfully."
I have no idea what's going on, as the error message itself is pretty useless.
Reinstalling doesn't work I guess? If that is case, try re-downloading the files again, it's probably the only option :(
You don't happen to have any Firewalls or AV software that might "block" the installer, do you?
Actually, I figured it out.
The GamersGate downloader downloads two different copies of the installer application. By default, it seems to launch the wrong one. Running the one from within the "QA_Approved" folder installed the game just fine.
I've notified GamersGate support about the issue, hopefully they sort it out. Should reduce the size of the download by 100+MB as well.

Courtney Manning
Sept. 23, 2012
DALLAS (SMU) - After holding off the Thundering Her in the fourth set, forcing a fifth set with the 25-21 win, SMU fell 3-2 at home to Marshall (23-25, 25-23, 31-29, 21-25, 15-8). Courtney Manning finished with a team-high 15 kills and had five blocks, needing just 14 to break Kendra Kahanek's SMU record of 530 career blocks.
Needing a win in the fourth to extend the match, the Mustangs scored the first six points, and stretched the lead to as many as 10. Marshall (12-5, 2-1 Conference USA) battled back into the set, cutting the lead to three, 20-17, before Caroline Young blasted a kill to send the match to a fifth set.
Marshall kept the momentum they built at the end of the fourth set going at the start of the fifth, scoring the first three points. SMU (4-11, 1-2 C-USA) rallied to tie the score 6-6, but the Mustangs were never able to take the lead. With the score still tied at 7-7, the Thundering Herd score a kill and two straight aces, holding SMU to just one more point the rest of the way, winning 15-8.
In the third set, the Mustangs came from behind to force extra points, but Marshall stole the win 31-29 on a pair of kills by Sacha Byousmcconnell on the last two points. Marshall took a 10-4 lead early in the set, and still had a five-point lead, 23-18, before SMU stormed back. The Mustangs scored the next five points to tie the set 23-23. SMU had three chances with set point, but couldn't come up with a kill for the win.
The two teams spilt 25-23 wins in the first two sets, with SMU winning the first and Marshall taking the second. Courtney Manning scored the kill on set point for the Mustangs in the first set, while Young was blocked on an effort to tie the score in the second, giving the victory to Marshall.
Young had 13 kills, four aces and five blocks to lead the Mustangs with 20.0 points. The sophomore also had six digs. Olivia Bailey recorded her team-leading fourth double-double with 51 assists and 13 digs. Susan Lewis had a match-high 23 digs. Junior transfer Maddie Lozano posted a team-high six blocks and scored nine kills.
The Mustangs begin a four match road trip Friday at Rice at 7 p.m. SMU returns to Moody Coliseum Oct. 12 to take on Tulane.

Arsene now has a lil time to think whilst Mou and his men move forward…and upward. Can they keep their position in the table with difficult trips still to come for them?
Elsewhere, United won and so did Spurs. The race for 5th is more interesting now? Equally, the race to stay up is starting to become clearer. Do Palace really want to stay up if they have Pulis? Is Pulis that bad? Is he bad at all?

Planning for the Clemson University Canada Center began in the fall of 2009 with the appointment of a Steering Committee by Provost Dori Helms. The original Steering Committee consisted of the following members:
College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences
Lesly Temesvari, Associate Professor, Biological Sciences
College of Arts, Architecture and Humanities
Jeff Love, Associate Professor, Languages
College of Business and Behavioral Science
Caron St. John, Professor, Management
College of Engineering and Science
Martine LaBerge, Professor, Dept. Chair, Bioengineering
College of Health, Education and Human Development
Kenneth Backman, Associate Professor, PRTM
Faculty Senate Representative
William (Bill) Bowerman, Professor, Forestry and Natural Resources
Office of Global Engagement
David Grigsby
Teresa Wise
The committee was charged with the development of actionable plans to result in the establishment of a Canada Center at Clemson University. They met to carry out this charge throughout the fall of 2009 and spring of 2010. Discussions among committee members, along with an informal survey of current work and collaborative activities involving Clemson and Canadian institutions, served to reinforce both the need and the potential for the center. The Clemson University Canada Center (CUCC) was approved by the Board of Trustees in July of 2010.
The CUCC serves as a focal point to provide opportunities for teaching, research and outreach to those interested in the many relationships between Canada and the United States. The Center's mission is to serve as a source of information and a coordinating body for the encouragement of participation in joint U.S.-Canadian research and education projects that will further the relationship between our two countries.

On Friday, the New Orleans Film Society made a few big announcements regarding the upcoming New Orleans Film Festival (October 16-23). And though the festival continues to grow bigger and better every year, 2014 is sure to be extra special, as the event celebrates its 25th Anniversary.
While the festival's screenings will take place in various venues across the city, the marquee Opening and Closing Night films will again take advantage of the city's historic and newly renovated theaters. The fest opened and closed at the Joy Theater in 2012 and The Civic last year. (Read my coverage of last year's terrific Opening Night here).
And while the Opening Night revelry will return to the Civic Theatre (510 O'Keefe Ave), this year's Closing Night festivities will move to the just re-reopened Carver Theater (2101 Orleans Ave)
This year's festival will open on the evening of Thursday, October 16 with the New Orleans-shot drama, Black and White. The film is the story of a widowed grandfather (Kevin Costner) who is left to raise his bi-racial granddaughter. When the little girl's paternal grandmother (Octavia Spencer) seeks custody, a bitter legal battle ensues that forces the uneasy family members to have an honest conversation about life, death, anger, and America's racial divide.
Costner, who not only stars in, but produces the film, says of the city and local film community, "New Orleans, as well as the state of Louisiana, has come to my rescue more than once as a filmmaker. It was the difference between me making my movie and not. The group of filmmakers that exists here made it possible, and nothing feels better than bringing it back for them to see the vision that united us all in work."
In addition to Oscar winners Costner and Spencer, the film stars New Orleans-native Anthony Mackie, Jennifer Ehle, Gillian Jacobs, Bill Burr, Andre Holland, and introducing Jillian Estell. Black and White is written and directed by Mike Binder (Reign Over Me, The Upside of Anger). Providing the film's original score is another New Orleans native, acclaimed composer Terence Blanchard.
A week later, on Thursday, October 23, the festival will come to close with the world premiere screening of The Big Beat, a documentary that profiles the early years of legendary New Orleans musicians, Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew.
The film follows their journey turning New Orleans Rhythm & Blues into Rock N' Roll and shows how their music contributed to racial integration. Combing archival material and recent interviews with Dave, Fats, and surviving band members, the film illustrates the story of these two men and the other musicians who made their band among the greatest in Rock N' Roll history.
The Big Beat is directed by veteran documentarian Joe Lauro, who says of the film, "I see The Big Beat as not only the story of Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew, but a tale of New Orleans, the city where Dave and Fats have always lived and where their music was born. Having our film's world premiere at the New Orleans Film Festival is an honor. It somehow completes the circle."
New Orleans Film Society Executive Director, Jolene Pinder, commented on the films by saying, "Both opening and closing night selections have a special resonance for our city. Black and White is a testament to the thriving film industry in Louisiana and the meaningful stories being filmed here, while The Big Beat honors the singular contributions New Orleans artists have made to our country's musical history. We are honored to host such special homecoming screenings for both films."
Looks like another great fest is coming our way in about two months! More information on the 2014 New Orleans Film Festival will be posted as soon as it becomes available. And I will again cover various events throughout the festival, including the Opening and Closing Night events. Follow @NOLA_FilmEvents for more information and coverage.

Herr's Peppermint Bark Cookies
Taste: This package contained two Oreos (or clones of Oreos) coated in white chocolate and then sprinkled on the top and sides with small bits of broken candy cane. $1.29 seemed like a lot for just two cookies, but Herr's did a nice job with these. The cookies had a nice appearance to start with, and when we crunched in, the taste and texture were also quite good. The inner cookie layers tasted like an Oreo, with a soft feel and nice chocolate and creme taste; the white coating added some sweetness; and the bits of candy cane gave the sandwich some mintiness and crunch. The feel wasn't particularly hard like many kinds of peppermint bark, but there were a few sharp edges from the candy cane bits.
Shop: Herr's Online Store
Aroma: Very mild mint smell, but mostly like white chocolate.

In case anyone missed it, there is a growing pattern of heinous criminal behavior within the Obama Department of Justice. We have in our midst a gang of pirates dressed as business men, in their Armani suits and Bruno Magli shoes, and pretending to be government officials. They do their unimaginable crimes and then hide from prosecution behind the veil created by our cumbersome federal bureaucracy, claiming to know nothing, blaming everything on underlings, or denying that anything happened at all.
There are two items of an especially horrifying nature that should be fully brought to the attention of every registered voter in the United States of America. These are the two known, failed, gun-running operations planned, promoted, and carried out by the Department of Justice under Eric Holder: Operation Fast and Furious, and Operation White Gun.
Fast and Furious (F&F) has been the subject of numerous news articles and reports concerning the on-going investigation and hearings headed by Darryl Issa. Holder has denied knowing anything about the operation which was carried out from within his department. Over 2,000 weapons were allowed by the BAFTE to be illegally purchased by straw buyers, who then transported them into Mexico. The DOJ lost track of most of these weapons, which includes various assault weapons and machine guns, and several of them have already turned up in evidence at the murder scenes of several Americans.
But there is another such operation, of which I have no doubt Eric Holder will deny any knowledge. It was named Operation White Gun (WG). The investigation is just getting under way on this one, but it appears to be eerily similar to F&F. To use the vernacular of law enforcement, they have the same M.O. (modus operandi). Use federal money to buy weapons and sell them to illegal buyers under the premise that the guns will be tracked, but then, for some unexplained reason, the guns get lost and go to drug dealers in Mexico. Then, when the "fiasco" is discovered, deny, deny, deny.
Reports on WG do not include quantities of weapons involved, but they do identify that there may have been as much as $15 million involved in the budget available to the buyer. If this budget was used up then we could be talking about far more weapons than with F&F.
The target of WG was supposedly Guzman Patino who was attempting to procure arms for the Sinaloa gang. El Chapo Guzman Loera's "criminal group sought to strengthen its arsenal with grenade launchers and .50-caliber machine guns," said agent Hope A. MacAllister. According to Wikipedia, "White Gun and Fast and Furious both began in the fall of 2009, and both cases were run by the same ATF officials."
Wikipedia says, "In fall 2009, an ATF team sent an undercover agent posing as an arms dealer to Guzman Patino and photos of weapons, including a Dragon Fire 120-millimeter heavy mortar, were emailed to his 'Superman6950' Hotmail account." Guzman Patino told to the undercover agent that "if he would bring them a tank, they would buy it".
After that meeting, Patino Guzman and the agent met again outside the restaurant in Phoenix, where the undercover seller showed the criminal five weapons in the trunk of his car , including a Ramo .50 heavy machine gun and a Bushmaster rifle.
At the point that Guzman Patino was ready to buy, BATFE records of the investigation into his activities ended for no reason. Could it be for the purpose of "plausable deniability"? Who knows? But why would investigators be suddenly pulled off of a case when it is just about to yield its fruit? Agents do not dictate which assignments they get. Supervisors determine these things. It is safe to assume that this is the case with WG. Documents do not show why the investigation was halted, and they do not show if any guns were sold to Guzman, yet it is known that some "guns got away again".
The U.S. attorney in Phoenix at the time, Dennis K. Burke, who later resigned over Fast and Furious, called the White Gun convictions "a tremendous team effort that put a stop to a well-financed criminal conspiracy to acquire massive destructive firepower."
According to Steve Gill, "By that summer, [agent] MacAllister had gone to Mexico City to check the police and military vaults. The ATF documents don't detail what she found, but they note she discovered 'weapons in military custody related to her current investigations.' "
Does anyone see a pattern yet? Can you spell "R-A-C-K-E-T-E-E-R-I-N-G" ?
Yes, then what are we going to do about it?
More importantly, what are YOU going to do about it?
As a Tea Party member, I am going to continue to beat this drum long and loud!
There are criminals in the White House. There are criminals in the Department of Justice.
I remember reading Treasure Island, by R.L. Stevenson. In the book, pirate Long John Silver defines his fellow pirates as "gentlemen of fortune". We have gentlemen of fortune in our government!

The whole purpose of selling guns to Mexican cartel drug criminals was to create a violent crime wave in the border states. Then the Obama administration could blame the firearms laws which BTW are already strict and require a background check in 50 states. The object was to gain momentum for a new national gun ban. I am glad that the plan failed and that the plot was exposed. This administration could obviously care less who gets killed as long as they get to destroy the second amendment with falsehoods, distortions and mistruths. This is absolutely dispicable.
I agree completely! We have an administration that was elected illegally and governs illegally.
Jeff, BATFE bought guns worth millions of dollars and gave them to drug cartels. Who profited? Obozo and his thugs always channel taxpayer money and political favor to their political cronies and benefactors.
Did they buy the guns from Chicago gun dealers?
Did they sell to the drug cartels at a loss?
In addition to Second Amendment issues, there has got to be a big money angle.
OBOZO didn't get his national gun law, BUT BATFE did impose a 'boarder state' mandate of not more than one semi-auto rifle over .22 cal. per purchaser per year ( CA,AZ,NM, and TX ). Now watch for it to spread to the states that boarder on them because of sales reciprocity between states.
Exactly Right!! He is creating the next big diversion to explode in Oct to win in November, There will be an October Suprise.
So would this not be a direct attack on the 2nd Amendment and the citizens along the border? If so, would this not be considered a treasonous act? If so, we should make sure that all involved are tried for treason and punished accordingly.
...and yet, we hear nothing more of this in the Congress, the White House, or the media?
Politico has a story out today indicating that if Eric Holder does not provide Congress with all documents requested by Feb 9 - Issa will hold him in contempt of congress.
It's a start.
Yeah I know. Checked it several times. The link is correct but won't go through. If you google Politico, Issa, Holder, and contempt you get the link.

"If paradise is on Earth, the 'Bal des Princesses' is its garden."
On June 14th, 2014 the notorious The Ball of the Princesses from Paris took place at the Capitale in New York City. For the very first time, Le Bal des Princesses came upon us when we least expected it.
There was no advertising, no promotion, and no press coverage of any kind and the only way I knew about this event was because of my friend, who has recently moved back to NYC after many years of living in Paris, where she happened to attend these balls, who told me about this event.
All I knew about this ball is what I could get from their website that offers the videos and photos of their lavish parties in Paris, taken place, usually, at a castle with thousands of Parisians in attendance, dressed head to toe in the French period pieces so well familiar to us from the times of Marie Antoinette and the royal French court. At first I panicked, where in the world am I going to get the tower long white wigs and the ball gowns, because dressing down was not an option. Just from reading the invitation alone: "In the proper vanity order: precious Marquise, Duchesses, Countesses Coguette, Courtesans in silk bottoms and adventurers in flannels…" I somehow understood that my New York evening attire would not do and that I should not let my friend down who told me that everyone dresses up for this ball in Paris.
I'm reading the invitation further: "The royal court will honor its visitors from horizons afar: Capitalist Maharajahs, Princes, Manchus, Oriental Sultans, Czars in furs and Sovereign Uzbeks, Majesty from the islands and Caliphs…" Pretty much all kinds of royalty were expected to be in presence - just as I thought I could get away with a long skirt and a French twist.
"Unique and imperative protocol recommendations: right from the humble staff to Nepolean in perfecto, everyone will partake in the happenings of the radiant soiree and adorn themselves according to its theme…" Even reading the description and introduction to the ball, I could almost hear the French accent.
"The dizzy-like sounds and other electronic tambourines will be displayed by our Mozart's French touch."
According to its previous events in Paris, the Ball of the Princesses "boasts of the most prestigious and beautiful crowd that the night life has to offer," so at this point my expectations were pretty high, so was my anxiety.
Having been to many balls and festivities around the world, this has been the first time I've attended such a lavish event – judging by the costumes alone. Other things were great too and didn't seem to cease to surprise the guests: great music – the live DJ spinned the latest dance hits from around the world and the entertainers of the evening – jugglers and Go-Go Girls and Boys kept the crowd on the dance floor all night long. But it wouldn't have been a great event if it wasn't for the great fun crowd in attendance. The attendees went out of their ways to wear the most elaborate clothes from the French period they could find, and some. Let's just say, it's good that the very first place to host this Parisian event was New York City, where it's known to have the public that would pull all the strings to 'match' the expectations of the hosts who have seen it all and beyond.
At the ball we got to meet the founder of the event, who told us that this event is nothing in comparison to the size and indulgence of the Parisian ones, but it's only the beginning of the ball's American history and we got a pretty good preview of it to know what to expect next year and more. With a little bit more advertising and public awareness and the word-of-mouth, one day the American versions of the Parisian Ball of the Princesses would be as much talked about as its mother event in France.
Next ball is expected to take place in Los Angeles and the following year it will be back in New York City, so keep your eyes peeled and start looking for your courtesan dress now, or go as the sheikh's mistress - anything goes at the ball! And just when the men thought they could also get away with a dressing down to their regular evening attire, guess what - the male guests are as responsible to look up to their lady guests as the lady guests are responsible to look as amazing and intriguing as the French creators meant the ball to be. So, dear gentlemen, no slacking here if you want to be able to enter the gates of the paradise.
Here are more photos from the New York's ball. For the videos from the ball go to my YouTube channel to see what it was like this last June.
And, if you think that you could pass the gates of Parisian 'Eden' wearing the nicest dress in your wardrobe, think again: "All nobility dressed up insufficiently will find themselves refused entrance to the festivities."

T-Mobile UK offers the G2 Touch even for free, but only with an 18-month contract agreement and a monthly plan of at least £35.
Although the Hero is HTC's third Android phone, it's only the second one to be launched by T-Mo UK.

- 3.2 inch HVGA touchscreen display
- Android OS 1.5
- Wi-Fi
- 3.5mm headset jack
- 5MP camera with autofocus
If you're in the UK, you can buy the T-Mobile G2 Touch from here.
HTC Hero may reach the US too, possibly via Sprint and AT&T, but there are no clear details about this at the moment.

Nothing, of course, is official but in the course of doing my sweep of the transactions, I noticed that the Nationals' GCL roster appears to be in place.
I'm not privy to who's been put on the DL or waivers, but it's probably fair to deduce that any name you're looking for that's not here, and wasn't drafted this past June, has probably been sent packing. Please note the qualifiers in the text above, and without further ado…
Bold = Watchlist Player Italics = DSL Graduate

Wilman Rodriguez
If you're following my "code," that's just two (2) players from last year's draft that are back — Tony Nix, who had his contract voided but re-signed in April, and Deion Williams, the only HS pick from the Nats' 2011 draft.
7 Responses to "GCL Roster Taking Shape"
Did you notice that Casey Selsor is listed as a pitcher after being drafted as an outfielder?
and that Michael Mudron has signed since the Nats press release (he was a college senior so no shock)
Checked the roster at minor league baseball website and Deion Williams is still in GCL. Johan Rodriquez and Pergueo are two names missing from last season. I don't understand why the Nats place 4 year seniors from college such as Brooks, Bailey and McQuillian in the GCL. They are 23 and 24 years old. In my opinion, too old to play in the GCL. I'm just saying……….
Another name missing from last season roster according to minor league baseball website Trey Karlen. Yet another 23/24 year old playing in GCL…… I absolutely love the Nats and Mike Rizzo. However, I don't think the Nats are sure how they want to develop the farm system at the lower levels. Most mlb organization will use the GCL and AZL to develop the HS talent (16 – 20 yrs of age) in the organization, the NY Penn League is normally used to develop college juniors/seniors (21 – 22 yrs of age), Low A (21 – 23 yrs of age) , High A (22 – 24 yrs of age), Double A , where most of your MLB prospects are, (24 – 25 yrs. of age) and of course Triple A where you keep your older veterans to spot fill roster moves on the major league level, (26 and older). Drafting and placing 23/24 yrs. old in the GCL is not good. At 25/26 years years of age you should be knocking at the door of big league camp. If you are not, more than likely you are not a MLB prospect. I certainly hope that the HS talent , in this case, Williams is allowed and afforded the opportunity to develop. Looking at his bio he is a young, 19 year old. No, he did not have the best season last year but he was an 18 year old playing pro ball for the first time. Being an educator, I understand the difference in development with your kids. They mature at different ages. AKA….. Bryce Harper, 19 years old but has filled out completely. Hint: Any 18 year old that is capable of growing a full beard has more than likely reached "manhood" physically. I love Nats but I would like to see more HS talent at the lower levels for development in the GCL, which is described as the "instructional league".
What happened to 2011 9th rounder Dixon Anderson?
I see he's not on any of the rosters… is he still with the club? Or is he rehabbing an injury of some sort?

Two dozen dead cats were discovered hanging from a tree in a vacant lot in Yonkers. The tree had 25 dead cats hanging from it, like grisly ornaments blowing in the wind. Theses cats were killed, put in plastic bags and fastened to this tree over a period of time, according to the New York Daily News on April 26.
Neighbors have noticed the stray cat population diminishing and they've also had cats gone missing. A necropsy, which is the equivalent to a human autopsy, but for animals, was done on three of the cats that were taken off the tree. All three cats died from "blunt force trauma."
According to CBS News New York, authorities say the cat's skulls were crushed by a hard, blunt object. The cats were then wrapped in various plastic bags and left hanging off the tree. The dead cats were found decomposed in different stages, so these cats were put there over a matter of some time, possibly a year.
Shannon Laukhuf, the executive director of the SPCA of Westchester said that the felines were all killed in the same violent fashion, blunt force trauma to the head. It appears that the cats were killed somewhere else then transported to the vacant lot.
Police do have a couple of leads, but are not saying what those leads are. It could be that these cat killings are some type of sadistic ritual, this is one possible scenario police will consider in their investigation. Brett Pisano of the Public Works Department said that last year they found a few cats hanging in the same place, "maybe two or three," but not 25. The cats that were discovered and taken down last year were skeletons.
Neighbors that live in the area are "scared." A woman who lives next door to this Yonkers' vacant lot where the cats were found hanging expressed her concerns to the media. She is worried that whoever killed these cats might graduate to people next.
The Yonkers Police and the SPCA responded to the scene after two Department of Public Works employees were doing a routine cleanup on Thursday when they spotted the bags. A gutted cat's body was hanging out of one of the bags.
The workers then realized that the other hanging bags contained the decaying carcasses of cats. The investigation is on-going today.

Yet, fashion trends should not be ignored. There is an art to blending trends into your wardrobe and a big one for spring fashion 2012 is lace. You have to be careful with it because lace can look too cutesy, too bridal or too old. But done correctly, lace is exquisite.
The spring collections I saw recently in New York were peppered with all types of lace: chantilly lace, corded lace, French lace, English lace, beaded lace, black lace. Whether layered over four-ply silk or a mid-drift teasing peek-a-boo inset or a lovely long sleeve, the delicate textile graced so many of the showrooms and runways.
Tracy Reese, carried at Flight Boutique in Park City, showcased laces in the traditional cream and in black, while the big luxe players like Louis Vuitton, Valentino and Oscar de la Renta impressed equally delicate looks.
Keep your eye out for lace this coming spring. Think how it can blend with your current wardrobe or give you a stunning look for an upcoming special occasion.

Residency Program in Comparative Ophthalmology
**The following is a general description of the current residency training program and is true at the time of writing. However, please check back regularly as it is updated as information changes regarding specific residencies each year.**
The Ophthalmology Service, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California-Davis is announcing a 4-year residency in Comparative Ophthalmology to begin 1 August 2016. The successful applicant will be one of 4 residents, 2 full time dedicated technicians, 6 ACVO-Diplomates, an ocular pathologist, and a Professional Researcher in vision science. The resident will have access to the resources of our large, multidisciplinary, NIH-funded vision science laboratory. All members of our team work in close coordination to provide exemplary ophthalmic care for nonhuman animals of all species, communicate clearly with owners and referring veterinarians, teach DVM students, and advance knowledge through comparative ophthalmic research.
A. Program Description
The ophthalmology residency is a 4-year program designed to provide training in all medical and surgical aspects of comparative ophthalmology including large and small domestic animals, laboratory animals as well as captive and wild exotic animals. The resident will be responsible for hospital patients and will assist in instruction of professional veterinary medical students and other residents. In addition, the resident will be trained in ophthalmic screening of mice for the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium and development and execution of hypothesis-driven research. The resident will receive mentoring in grant development, study design and performance, and manuscript preparation, and learn a variety of research techniques. They will attend a diverse range of lectures and rounds at the Department of Ophthalmology in the University of California-Davis Medical Center. The program is designed to prepare the resident for achieving board certification through the credential and examination process administered by the American Board of Veterinary Ophthalmology. The intent of the program is to prepare the candidate for a career as a clinician-scientist.
B. Goals of the Residency Program
Development of clinical skills to successfully practice veterinary and comparative ophthalmology.
Development of a broad knowledge of the eye and its diseases.
Development of effective clinical teaching skills.
Introduction to methods of research in vision science including study design and execution, as well as grant and manuscript preparation.
Preparation for the certifying examination of the American Board of Veterinary Ophthalmology.
C. Duties and Responsibilities
Regular participation in clinical activities of the Ophthalmology Service including evening and weekend emergency duty. Residents must be able to arrive at the hospital within 15 minutes of an emergency call. Ophthalmology residents are not obligated to rotate through general veterinary medical after-hours emergency service.
Medical Ophthalmology - Beginning residents are initially under direct supervision of a faculty member. There is then a gradual increase in responsibility throughout the residency program; however, all new cases are seen in conjunction with an ACVO Diplomate.
Surgical Training - - Each resident must successfully complete a rigorous reading, simulator, and ex-vivo (cadaver eye) surgical training program. All intraocular and extraocular surgery on patients is done under direct supervision of ACVO Diplomates until the resident has demonstrated sufficient skills to justify her or his operating independently.
Ophthalmic Pathology - - Under the direct supervision and mentoring of our ocular pathologist, residents are required to develop sufficient skills in and knowledge of ocular pathology to enable them to interpret gross and histopathologic changes in diseased ocular tissue.
The UCD Mouse Biology Program - (http://www.mousebiology.org/) is a major participant in the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium. The UCD Veterinary Ophthalmology Service provides ophthalmic screening of mice for this program, which constitutes a major responsibility for the first-year resident.
Research - - During his or her training program, each resident must complete a research project in an area related to ophthalmology or vision science. Submission of a manuscript to a peer-reviewed, archival journal is required. The expenses of conducting this research and the publication of the information may be borne, at least in part, by the Ophthalmology Service; however, the resident is expected to apply for intramural or extramural funds to support their research. Presentation of research data at the VMTH House Officer Seminar Day and at least one ACVO conference is required.
Didactic Training - - Regular participation in seminars, conferences, rounds, and journal club, including those held in association with the UCD Medical School is required.
External Courses - - Attendance at two or more meetings of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists, one Magrane Basic Science Course, and one or more of the UCD and/or University of Wisconsin phaco training courses is required during the residency training program. University funds may be available to subsidize the expenses involved in these, but attendance is ultimately the resident's responsibility.
Teaching - - Considerable responsibility for teaching students in clinics and participation in teaching laboratories for UCD veterinary student courses is required. The resident may also be asked to provide some lectures in ophthalmology courses for UCD veterinary medical students, at local associations, or to veterinary student clubs.
Medical Records - - All patient records must be completed in an exemplary and timely fashion.
The VMTH is committed to building strong relationships with its constituents and maintaining excellent communications within its walls. Therefore, timely and complete communication with referring veterinarians and clients forms a major part of the resident's duties. Residents must also establish and maintain cordial relationships with all members of the VMTH community: students, fellow-residents, faculty, staff, referring veterinarians, and clients.
Continuation into subsequent years of the training program is contingent upon satisfactory performance in previous and current years.
Failure to meet all aspects of the duties and responsibilities will result in termination or withholding of the certificate of residency completion.
D. Requirements
- Graduation from a School of Veterinary Medicine.
- A minimum of 12 months full-time clinical practice as a veterinarian between graduation as a veterinarian and beginning the residency training program
- Demonstration of high motivation and excellent interpersonal skills.
