The Buzz, 7-25: Ben-Itzak's Admonition
Same Old Tricks from Gray Lady
By Paul Ben-Itzak
Copyright 2006 The Dance Insider
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the New York Times has, once again, chased a story originally pursued by the Dance Insider -- Pilobolus's firing of Alison Chase, broken by the courageous blogger Dan Feith -- without bothering to credit either the DI or Feith's Blogobolus, as Daniel Wakin failed to do in his story in yesterday's editions. Indeed, it was because of the Times's propensity for this that I had ignored a request by Wakin to be added to the DI's e-mail alert list. But I suppose the story gathered enough currency that, nine months after Feith broke it and we developed it, the news finally wafted over to W. 43rd Street and the Times decided to do something about it. Happy as I am that, despite Pilobolus's attempts to bottle it up, the story is spreading (cliche-ridden, uninformed by any real dance authority, and bereft of interviews with actual dancers with the company as may be Wakin's account), the Times's latest breach of journalistic etiquette and standards has to be noted. Does it have the same mortal consequences as, say, the paper's enabling of the Bush Administration's false WMD claims? Of course not. Is it theft? Not at all -- these stories belong to the world. Does it shamelessly exploit the work of others -- particularly the risks taken by Dan Feith -- in the name of hogging credit for oneself? Yes. Even if Daniel Wakin never read the Dance Insider or Dan Feith accounts, it doesn't matter. The standard journalistic practice is to credit those who had the story before you. The New York Times has again failed to do so. Shame on you, New York Times!
While I don't have the time to nitpick Mr. Wakin's entire story, he needs to be called on a couple of points.
He is hampered first and foremost by an obvious ignorance of both dance in general and the dynamics of Pilobolus in particular. After stating, "The dispute has split current and former trustees and company members," Mr. Wakin offers no interviews with company dancers. It may be news to the New York Times, but dancers also qualify as company members -- even more so at Pilobolus, where they are typically credited with collaborating on the creation of the works.
But even aside from dance ignorance, Mr. Wakin's reporting is at times sloppy.
He shares what he describes as board chair Edward Klaris's claim that "with no legal resources..., Ms. Chase had gone to the news media with a misleading story to seek sympathy." (Wakin's words.)
Alison Chase was fired by Pilobolus on October 28, 2005, as reported by Dan Feith on Blogobolus October 31. We followed up on Feith's report November 2. In doing so, we tried repeatedly to elicit comment from Alison Chase. She did not respond.
It was only last month -- more than seven months after the deed -- that, on repeated pressing from us, Alison Chase agreed to talk, for the first time, to the Dance Insider.
Why did she do this?
If we're to credit Mr. Wakin's account, Mr. Klaris says she went to the news media with a misleading story, and only because she had no legal resources.
In fact, if there was a misleading story being put out at the point where Alison Chase agreed to talk with us, it was that being passively sanctioned by Pilobolus, which a) refused to discuss the situation, beyond claiming, on November 1, that she had not been fired and b) with its four-week New York season looming, had yet to inform the public that the season would be mounted without the participation of Alison Chase, including on the rehearsal of the five (out of 15) works which Chase had choreographed individually or in collaboration with others.
In fact, as Wakin would have known if he'd bothered to do the research, Chase's motivation in talking to the 'news media' (including one member of the news media, the Times, which had ignored the story for nine months) was not to mislead but simply to make sure the public was aware of a reality Pilobolus was steadfastedly refusing to acknowledge. (Hey, would you want the world to know you put your mother out on the street?) Or, as one member of the Pilobolus community put it to us in our June 20 story: "It is important to let the dance community know that Alison Becker Chase was fired, from the very organization that she has devoted the past 35 years of her life to.... I believe that as audiences prepare to watch an evening of 'Pilobolus' this summer at the Joyce Theater, they should be informed as to the new structure of the company. There are currently three employed artistic directors and one executive director.... Alison Chase's work will be performed this summer, against her wishes, and without her artistic input or monetary compensation...."

7 Psoriasis Triggers to Avoid
Psoriasis can be tricky to predict: Your skin seems fine one day and your psoriasis flares the next. What sets it off? Although psoriasis triggers aren't "one size fits all," some common culprits are troublesome for many people. Tracking these triggers — and steering clear of them when possible — can help prevent psoriasis flares and keep your skin clearer and healthier. Find out about the psoriasis triggers you're likely to encounter in your everyday life.
Scale Back on Stress
Maybe it's your job that's causing you too much stress, or perhaps you're going through a divorce — or maybe you're dealing with a number of stressful things at once. Whatever is stressing you out may be stressing out your skin, too. Many people with the condition say stress is among their top psoriasis triggers. It's impossible to avoid stress altogether, but decreasing the pressure in your life can help clear your skin and prevent psoriasis flares. Francisco Tausk, MD, a psoriasis researcher, professor of dermatology and psychiatry, and head of the Center for Integrated Dermatology at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, N.Y., says effective stress-busters include exercise, yoga, meditation, and hypnosis. Also, consider joining a psoriasis support group. Sharing your experiences with others who cope with psoriasis can also help prevent depression, a definite risk for people with psoriasis.
Be Careful in Cold Weather
When the temperature dips, psoriasis flares in many people. Winter can be a problem for a number of reasons. Cold, dry air and indoor heaters can suck the moisture from your skin, Dr. Tausk explains. Plus, the lack of sunlight during winter months can make psoriasis worse because some sunshine tends to improve the condition. Tausk's advice: "Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize." Talk to your doctor about better ways to manage your psoriasis and prevent psoriasis flares if they get worse when the seasons change.
Treat Infections Right Away
Do you notice that sometimes your psoriasis flares after you get sick? Certain infections are known psoriasis triggers. For example, strep throat or a fungal infection such as thrush can bring on an outbreak of psoriasis. Staph infections like boils and the virus that causes AIDS can also trigger psoriasis. The good news is that treating the infection often improves or completely clears up the psoriasis flare, so don't delay seeing your doctor.
Be Mindful With Medications
Certain drugs can be psoriasis triggers. Lithium, indomethacin, and anti-malarial drugs can bring on the first case of psoriasis or trigger psoriasis flares. Oral corticosteroids like prednisone can clear psoriasis quickly, but when the drug is stopped, psoriasis can come back with a vengeance, says Tausk. Pustular psoriasis, a serious form of the skin condition that often requires hospitalization, may even develop. To help prevent psoriasis flares, let all health care providers know that you have psoriasis so they can be aware when prescribing medication.
Keep Skin Clear of Cuts
Bug bites, scratches, cuts, or other injuries to the skin can trigger psoriasis about 10 to 14 days afterward. Why? About half of people with psoriasis experience what's called the Koebner phenomenon — new psoriasis patches appear at the site of an injury or in the same place as another skin condition, such as dermatitis. To avoid accidental nicks and cuts, be extra careful while shaving and when cooking in the kitchen. Getting a tattoo is risky because it's considered a skin trauma, so think twice before doing so to prevent psoriasis from worsening. Although some sun exposure is usually good for psoriasis, be careful not to burn, because this too is damaging to your skin and can cause a psoriasis flare.
Kick Smoking to the Curb
Add psoriasis to the list of reasons to quit smoking. "Various studies have linked smoking to the severity of psoriasis, and smoking also increases the risk of developing psoriasis," says Tausk. Quitting is difficult for most smokers, and trying to stop cold turkey may not work — the majority of smokers require the help of smoking cessation aids to quit for good. Talk to your doctor about medications or other strategies to help you kick the habit. It will do your overall health a world of good and may even help prevent psoriasis flares.
Check Your Meds Before Drinking
Could having a couple drinks on a regular basis be contributing to your psoriasis flares? There's no proof that moderate alcohol consumption is a risk factor for psoriasis or that it makes it worse, says Tausk. Of course, drinking too much alcohol isn't good for anyone's health. "Having said this, some of the drugs that are effective for controlling psoriasis can't be used by people who drink alcohol," he says. So it's important to put down your glass if alcohol interferes with the effectiveness of your psoriasis medication. During cocktail hour, replace your alcoholic beverage of choice with a sparkling "virgin" one. Or if you're tempted to drink when feeling stressed, take a vigorous walk around the block instead.

New York, NY — January 18, 2012.
Giving by charitable foundations in Georgia grew an unexpected 7 percent in 2009 over the previous year, according to the Foundation Center's
Key Facts on Georgia Foundations. This increase occurred despite modest growth in the assets of Georgia foundations and a slight decline in the number of the state's foundations during the same period. Overall giving rose to $874 million for the year, due in large part to a handful of key funders. The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta led all other foundations in the state, with an organization-high $142 million in grants awarded for 2009.
Other key findings of the report include:
Key Facts on Georgia Foundations
also includes projections of future giving and funding priorities based on a survey of the state's grantmakers, which was conducted in partnership with the Georgia Grantmakers Alliance and Southeastern Council of Foundations. Two-thirds of respondents said their giving would remain the same through 2011, while 27 percent anticipated some increase in grants awarded. Respondents identified program support, operating support, and capacity building as likely areas of emphasis over the next several years.

College Hockey:Last-Second Goal Gives Mavericks Big Win
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Was it Minnesota State's coaching or was it the Mavericks' never-say-die attitude that gave them a stunning last-second road victory over eighth-ranked North Dakota?
It was probably a combination of both that led to sophomore forward David Backes' goal with three seconds left to give MSU a 4-3 upset victory.
UND rallied to tie the game 3-3 at 13:59 of the third period on a power play goal by sophomore forward Drew Stafford. But the Mavericks played a full 60 minutes and the Sioux didn't.
"It hurts because we thought we were going to come back and win it," said Sioux forward Brady Murray. "Three seconds left, and they scored. It's more of a shock than anything."
As the clock wound down, MSU made one final rush into UND's zone. Junior forward Brock Becker was knocked down, got back up and carried the puck into the right circle where he spotted Backes all alone.
"He beat one of their guys and found me at the back door," Backes said of Becker's effort. "I had the easy part. He made the great play. There's nothing the goalie can do when it's a backdoor pass and nobody's on me."
Becker and Backes had discussed such a play, but it didn't happen exactly as they'd planned.
"Before last night's game I was talking to him (Backes) and I said, 'If it comes down to it, I'm going to be on the back door. You hit me.' It's kind of ironic that I hit him on the back door."
Following MSU's 3-2 loss Friday to UND, Mavericks coach Troy Jutting expressed disappointment with his team's performance.
"Last night after the game, I thought we needed to do something to shake us up a bit," Jutting said.
On Saturday morning, the coach ordered his players to put on their gear and he held a full practice.
"We skated our butts off in the morning," Becker said. "It was different, but we all bought in. We said, 'Let's try something new.' Whatever we were doing wasn't working."
Jutting said he didn't know if the extra practice made the difference, but he did know that the Mavericks played better Saturday night.
"I think tonight we showed up at the rink ready to play for the whole 60 minutes," he said. "It's not something we've done at all this year and not something we normally do. But I just really felt like we needed to change something up to have a different outcome."
UND opened the scoring in the first period with a goal by Murray at the 2:37 mark. MSU responded with a power play goal by junior forward Jeff Marler at 11:49.
The Mavericks took a 2-1 lead with a power play goal at 13:40 of the second period. Backes tipped in defenseman Steven Johns shot from the point. But the Sioux answered with a power play goal of their own at 15:41. Freshman forward Rastislav Spirko shot in the rebound from senior defenseman Matt Jones' shot.
Untimely mistakes in the third period proved costly to UND. With the game tied 2-2, Sioux goalie Jordan Parise charged out of the crease to play a loose puck in the slot. But his clearing attempt went directly on to the stick of MSU forward Brad Thompson who fired it back into the vacant net at the 1:40 mark.
"If you make a decision to make the play, you have to get it done," said UND coach Dave Hakstol. "It was unfortunate, but the bottom line is, you have to make the play."
The Sioux tied it 3-3 late in the third period when Stafford one-timed Colby Genoway's cross-ice pass past MSU goalie John Volp.
But with time running out, Hakstol said defensive breakdowns in the Sioux zone led directly to Backes' game-winning goal.
"The last 15-20 seconds of a game, there can't be that type of a breakdown," he noted.
Murray said the Sioux believed that if the game went into overtime, they had momentum on their side and would win it.
"I think we thought we were going to wait until overtime to win," he said. "We kind of laid back in the last minute. They took it to us and they got the late goal."
Jutting had nothing but praise for Backes' two-goal performance and last-second heroics.
"David's a great player," he said. "He put himself in position to have the puck at a crucial time in a good spot, and I think that's what great players do."
UND's overall record is 14-8-2 (10-7-1 WCHA). MSU improves to 8-11-3 overall (5-10-1 WCHA). The Sioux next travel to Colorado College for a two-game series Jan. 14-15. MSU plays a two-game series at Minnesota Jan. 14-5.

College Hockey:White Mules Serve Up Whitewash
Colby Shuts Down Amherst, Dotchin Scores Two
WATERVILLE, Maine — Colby improved to 11-1-1 with a 5-0 shutout victory over visiting Amherst (4-12) on Saturday, behind goals from four different players and a combined shutout by first-year goaltenders Sarah Webster and Lynn Hasdey.
Junior tri-captain Heidi Alexander was one of the lone bright spots for the Jeffs, turning away 40 shots in defeat.
Amherst held the White Mules in check early on as the game remained scoreless through the first 17:30, until Colby sophomore Christina Dotchin finally cracked the scoring column off a centering pass from junior forward Jill Young.
The hosts added another tally 10:26 into second period when Dotchin fed a wide-open Carrie Swiderski for a wrister in front of the net.
Colby then cemented the win with a trio of goals in the third period. Junior Jill Young ignited the barrage with a goal just 2:46 after the intermission, before Dotchin added her second goal of the game 3:31 later. Sophomore Kate Sweeney then capped the scoring with a nifty feed from first-year Caitlin Krause to set the final score at 5-0.

|Testimonies and Speeches
Director of Food Safety
for the Center for Science in the Public Interest,
on Food Safety for the Holidays,
at the National Press Club
November 17, 2000 Washington, DC
I want to thank the National Press Club for inviting me again this year to talk turkey about food safety. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, everyone no doubt is looking forward to getting together with family and friends for a holiday feast. But in the rush of holiday preparations, it is important to take extra precautions to keep food safe.
Americans will eat nearly 50 million turkeys this year. As far as turkey hazards go, there is good news and there is bad news.
First, the good news. New government programs appear to be lowering Salmonella rates on turkey. Last year, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) tested 50 turkeys for Salmonella and Campylobacter, the two best-known hazards associated with turkeys, and what we found surprised us. Sixteen percent of the turkeys we tested carried Campylobacter, while none had Salmonella. Our samples were collected in Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Miami/Fort Lauderdale.
This year, researchers at the University of Maryland reported similar results after testing 161 turkey samples collected around the Washington, DC region. They found very low Salmonella levels about 2 percent. They also found that 15.5 percent of the turkey samples carried Campylobacter, a finding comparable to our study last year. If these studies reflect trends nationally, then turkeys consumers purchase in grocery stores are probably not as contaminated as government data on rates in slaughter plants originally suggested. Unfortunately, the government is still not systematically testing turkeys for Salmonella, so there is no national data to confirm the trend.
There is also some bad news. CSPI and health officials warned for years that the use of antibiotics in poultry could cause drug-resistant super-germs. Unfortunately our worst fears have come true. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has documented a marked increase in poultry contaminated with Campylobacter that can resist treatment with powerful and valuable antibiotics, called fluoroquinolones. These drugs are first-choice antibiotic drugs available for treating human foodborne infections. Unless this trend is reversed, Campylobacter infections in humans will become harder and harder to treat.
The rise in antibiotic-resistant Campylobacter is, at least in part, the result of the Food and Drug Administrations 1995 approval of fluoroquinolone use in poultry production. The drug is needed to treat and prevent E. coli and other infections. At the time of that approval, scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and others (including CSPI) registered public concern that this class of antibiotics was too important for human treatment to risk its use in animals.
In a 1999 CDC study of chicken purchased at retail markets, fluoroquinolone-resistant Campylobacter was present in over 10% of the samples. A recent government risk assessment said that chickens harboring these tough new bacteria could sicken an estimated 11,000 people annually, resulting in prolonged illnesses or complications. On the basis of the overwhelming evidence, the FDA recently reversed course and announced its intention to withdraw the approval of fluoroquinolones for use in poultry. CSPI supports FDAs effort to halt the use of these important human antibiotics on poultry.
The withdrawal of approval for fluoroquinolone use will improve the safety of turkeys, as well as chickens. In an industry survey in 1998, producers reported that between five and seven percent of the flocks were being treated with that powerful antibiotic. This means that turkeys are likely to be carrying the same stains of antibiotic-resistant Campylobacter that show up on chickens.
We urge FDA to speed the withdrawal of approval of the two fluoroquinolones that can currently be used in poultry, Baytril and SaraFlox. We applaud Abbott Laboratories, the maker of SaraFlox, for voluntarily complying with FDAs proposed ban. The other drug manufacturer, Bayer Corporation, has not yet agreed to stop selling its product, and may challenge the FDA. To help protect the public health, we urge Bayer to stop marketing Baytril for poultry.
Luckily, both new and old strains of Campylobacter, as well as our old favorite, Salmonella, can be killed with proper cooking and handling in the kitchen. To assure an all-around great holiday, it is vital to remember the basics of safe-food preparation:
While Salmonella and Campylobacter are the best-known hazards for turkey consumers, they arent the only ones. This year, CSPI is issuing a leftover alert to remind our holiday chefs that food safety doesnt stop once the meal is prepared. How you handle the food after the meal is equally as important.
CSPI has documented over 21 outbreaks linked to turkey between 1990 and 1997. This chart shows that fully half of those outbreaks were caused by two little-known hazards, Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium perfringens, which together cause an estimated 435,000 food poisoning illnesses annually. Those outbreaks are generally caused by improper cooling of fully-cooked food. What happens is this: The hazard enters the food even with proper handling. C. perfringens produces heat-resistant spores that survive cooking and Staphyloccocus germs can enter the food from normal handling. Then food is either left out too long after the meal or stored in containers that dont allow for quick cooling. The bacteria starts to grow, forming toxins that can make you sick. Even reheating will not always destroy the hazard. So consumers must act to prevent it.
Luckily, leftover hazards can be avoided by remembering one simple formula: 2 hours, 2 inches, 4 days. Let me explain:
Following the 2 hours/2 inches/4 days formula for all leftovers could help prevent over 400,000 food-related illnesses each year.
These simple steps will help keep your holiday feast from turning into a fiasco. Everyone at CSPI hopes you enjoy a happy and healthy Thanksgiving holiday next week!

Horsetail Fall. Yosemite National Park, California. February 15, 2010. © Copyright 2010 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved. *
The silver strand of Horsetail Fall and water reflecting on surrounding cliffs in late afternoon light, Yosemite Valley.
This being February, it seems that Horsetail Fall has again (and more every year) become a hot topic. Horsetail Fall, sometimes referred to as the "Natural Firefall" is the increasingly famous seasonal waterfall that can appear along the east face of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. At about this time of year, when all the conditions fall in place, the ribbon of water from the fall may be spotlighted by the last light of the setting sun and create a beautiful band of glowing, colorful water against the dark backdrop of steep granite.
The conjunction of elements required to produce the most spectacular Horsetail Fall "event" is complex. First, it depends on the geological coincidences of the placement of the fall in a spot hight on the face of El Capitan that receives a narrow beam of sunset light during two brief periods each year. Second, the fall must be running – in roughly the middle of winter. The area supplying water to the fall is high enough to be snow-covered in a typical winter, but low enough that snow can melt and start the fall flowing even in the cold season – but this is not a sure thing. Essentially, there must be snow and then some warmth to melt it, or else some significant warm rain. Third, a series of meteorological events must play out just right. Obviously, the upper face of El Capitan must be clear of clouds. (Yosemite Valley fog and clouds ringing the cliffs are rather common in the winter season.) The sky west of the Valley must also be clear all the way to the horizon since the best color occurs just before the sun hits the horizon. (Many of us can tell stories of light getting better and better, leading toward a brilliant finale… and then the "lights going out" just at the peak of color as the sun dropped behind clouds far to the west.)
Hundreds and hundreds of photographers now show up to try to photograph the thing. I've done it a few times myself, though I'm much less inclined to do so these days – partly because "I've done it" and partly because I'm often busy photographing other things! My best memory of photographing Horsetail was several years ago when the park service was doing major road work on Northside Drive, the road along that side of the Valley. The road was completely closed as were the cross-valley roads that travel between Southside and Northside Drives. It had snowed and there was perhaps a foot or more of snow along this section of the Valley floor. I wanted to photograph the fall from a location on the north side of the Valley, so my only option was to put on lots of warm clothes, load up a pack of camera and other gear, and walk across the Valley in the snow. I arrived long before sunset, so I first walked west to El Capitan Meadow where I photographed in rare quiet and solitude on this car-free and carefree late afternoon. Later, I quietly walked back along the road to my shooting location and found perhaps three or four other people there. This quiet, peaceful, and relatively uncrowded experience became my touchstone for photographing Horsetail.
I went back a few more times, learning about the locations from which the feature may be photographed and learning to understand more about the conditions that are required. I became a bit of a Horsetail expert, if I do say so myself. But in the past few years, as more people have acquired digital cameras and become more serious about their photography and as the renown of the fall has increased, the crowds have also increased to the point that I'm less inclined to join them. That said, there is still magic in the experience – more in the experience of being there than in the experience of photographing the fall. (Frankly, it is very hard to produce a photograph of Horsetail that is different enough to carry a personal stamp.) A few years ago, perhaps the last time I photographed Horsetail, I realized that it is a minor miracle to find yourself standing in the snow on a winter evening in the marvel that is Yosemite Valley, among scores of other people who have also come there, many from great distances, merely to watch sunset light slowly move across the face of a huge granite cliff and for a brief instant, if you are especially fortunate, create an ephemeral luminous miracle high overhead.
* Note: In a wonderful video about Horsetail Fall, Ansel Adams' son Michael Adams speaks eloquently about his father's early photographs of the phenomenon. I was intrigued by his comment that Ansel might not have photographed the fall the way we do now because he couldn't – since he worked with black and white photography. Thinking of this, and being full of myself today, I thought that I'd post a black and white photograph of Horsetail Fall! :-)

Tucson, Ariz. ?- The Arizona women's gymnastics team held their first intra-squad scrimmage of the preseason on Monday, Dec. 6, 2004.
The Wildcats rotated through two events, the vault and beam, and were judged on their performances according to NCAA competition regulations on each event.
"We started out on vault and in all honesty, the vaults that we performed were all performed well," Head Coach Bill Ryden said. "Monica Bisordi and Danielle Hicks had very nice vaults while Aubrey Taylor and Erin Muirhead really went all out to maximize the potential of their 9.9 start value vaults."
The Wildcats posted a team score of 49.225 on the vault. Katie Johnson led the Wildcats with a score of 9.9 while Bisordi and Muirhead each earned scores of 9.85 respectively.
On the beam, the Wildcats were slightly more impressive. The Wildcats posted a team score of 49.4, boosted by a score of 9.925 from the freshman Hicks. Seniors Bisordi and Johnson each helped to raise the team total with individual scores of 9.9 respectively.
"I have made claims about the beam team in the past, but I will temper my enthusiasm for right now," Ryden said. "All I will say is that I am very confident in the strength and depth of the beam squad."
The Wildcats will hold a similar intra-squad scrimmage for the bars and floor exercise on Friday, Dec. 17. The season opener is on Jan. 7, 2005, in Gainesville, Fla., at the Super Six Challenge.

Hey guys, you heard this awesome new song called "Niggas in Paris"? It's got Kanye and Jay-Z and Blades of Glory samples and some word that nobody's ever used before and the beat has the ability to make normally sane people to absolutely weird and unconscionable things. Well, if you have heard it, apparently you're not alone—everyone from R&B singer Robin Thicke to hip-hop superproducer Timbaland to Philly rapper Meek Mill to some random over-enthusiastic dude on the subway has been performing it recently. Plaintively singing the song's outro lyrics, unnecessarily inserting beatboxing between bars of it, or just shouting it as loud as humanly possible—the song is good enough to sound awesome in just about any capacity.
Watch four of the most recent spins on "Niggas in Paris," and let us know which you like the best. For us, it's just not gonna be possible to beat Crazy Subway Guy. He sounds and looks the way we always feel when we listen to "Paris," you know? "WOOOOOOO LET'S GOOOO JAYYYYY!!!!!"

The Mystery of Matcha with All Things Tea
The Mystery of Matcha with All Things Tea
The Mystery of Matcha ~ Ceremonial Workshop July 25th, 2009 1-3pm
All Things Tea in Camarillo, CA
Our guest speaker, Shiro Nobunaga from Aiya, will be taking us through an educational presentation of the benefits of Matcha.
Matcha is the oldest variety of shade grown Japanese green tea that is ground into a fine powder. Matcha contains the highest concentration of antioxidants and 10-15 times the nutrients found in regular green teas. When compared to other antioxidant rich fruits and vegetables as well as other leading superfoods, traditional Matcha green tea clearly stands out above all the rest.
Shiro will also be guiding us in the making of Matcha and using the technique of ancient Japanese traditions. He will educate you in the understanding of the tools and method of this ancient art.
We will then be partaking 3 small courses using Matcha in different culinary ways.

So, chances are, you don't list Hall & Oates among your top fave artists. However, it's also pretty likely that you know most of the words to their numerous hits (like Maneater, come on!). So, eschew the bad 80s hair and strange homoerotic vibe (are we the only ones who feel that way?) and pick up Interpreting the Masters, Vol. 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall & John Oates ($13) by hip indie duo The Bird and the Bee. If you're skeptical, listen here, but be warned, you'll be humming Private Eyes all day.

Hello, It's Me: Dispatches from a Pop Culture Junkie
Chris Epting
(Santa Monica Press)
US: Jul 2010
Hello, It's Me: Dispatches from a Pop Culture Junkie has author Chris Epting (James Dean Died Here; Led Zeppelin Crashed Here; Marilyn Monroe Dyed Here, Roadside Baseball, Madonna's Bra, Einstein's Brain, etc.) relating 40 years of his most treasured memories and sharing some truly spectacular I-Can't-Believe-This-Is-Happening moments.
Beginning during his adolescence in '70s New York, through his time as an ad-man and to his current career as an author, Hello, It's Me tells tales of Epting's life-long love affair with all sorts of culture and entertainment, and it does so with the sort of excitement that can only come from someone truly passionate about these things. As he regales readers with stories of the cultural events and celebrity interactions that have shaped his life, his enduring enthusiasm for his subjects is clear. In fact, when he talks of certain pivotal people, that enthusiasm becomes something like affectionate obsession, and that level of love is what makes this book such fun.
Whether he's relating how the song "Brandy" helped him bond with his sister in 1972, or recalling the times when he would take groceries to author Quentin Crisp and listen to his tales, whether he's remembering his first all night phone conversation with a girl or recounting how he and his high school friends would camp out every week in front of Keith Richards' New York home hoping to catch a glimpse of the guitarist, Epting's fondness for these people comes across in a way that everyone who has ever really connected with a song, an artist or a hero will instantly understand.
Here is a man who wears his fan status like a badge. The book's title is taken from the song by Todd Rundgren, who is Epting's "second favorite" musical artist. His favorite is The Rolling Stones, as evidenced by the aforementioned teenage stalking spree and several stories about the band or its members over the years (including one of my favorites, where Epting practically relives, in feverish detail, his very first Stones concert in 1975, complete with a newspaper photo of himself in the audience as Jagger dowses the crowd with a bucket of water).
Many of the events Epting shares in Hello, It's Me are celebrity encounters. Comedians, rock stars, sports figures, literary giants, leading men… he's met them all. While it is wonderful to read of these experiences and interactions from the point of view of a diehard fan, what really makes the telling special is the sense of an awareness at the time that these would be memories of magical moments far beyond the rush of brushes with fame. Epting really seems to have led a charmed life of being in the right place at the right time to meet celebrities (getting a "Hi pal!" from Paul Newman on a plane during a childhood family vacation, meeting Norman Mailer in 1982 in a movie theater, running into Alfred Hitchcock—literally—in a hotel lobby), but also of having the presence of mind to realize precisely how lucky he is (having a sneaky drink with Ron Wood and Rod Stewart in a broom closet backstage at the MTV Video Music Awards, spotting—and stalking—Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall on Fifth Avenue during a lunch break from the ad agency, being approached on Hollywood Boulevard by no less a legend than Jack Lemmon just as he was explaining to his visiting aunt that, unfortunately, there aren't any really stars to be seen in Hollywood!).
The combination makes Hello, It's Me: Dispatches from a Pop Culture Junkie gleeful and engaging reading, there's no pretension to Epting's stories. He's simply sharing a life filled with things he enjoys, and it's obviously just as much of a joy for him to do so as it is for us to read about it.

Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) competes in many different arenas. Some of its multimedia competitors include Time Warner (NYSE: TWX ) and Sony (NYSE: SNE). A few analysts believe Disney doesn't have enough brand firepower to overcome its rivals. Consequently, they have advised investors to sit on the sidelines. However, Disney's massive Star Wars franchise, the continued success of its superhero brands, and the developments at its other franchises all indicate that investors should take a closer look at the company.
Disney's massive franchises
Disney's Star War franchise has amassed a total box office gross of no less than $1.9 billion. As Disney prepares to unleash a wave of new Star Wars content, the company has hired director J.J. Abrams and allowed creative teams ample time to develop its content. The last Star Wars film, Revenge of the Sith, grossed $849 million globally. Disney is assured of success in this segment.
Disney's success with its superhero brands has not shown any sign of ending. The company's Marvel unit has amassed a total box office gross of more than $2.46 billion. Captain America: The Winter Soldier grew its gross by more than 45% over its predecessor. Iron Man 3 increased its gross by more than 30%, while Thor: The Dark World rose by more than 25% over its predecessor. Disney can expect reliable returns from its superhero brands going forward.
The other franchises
All signs point toward continued success for Disney. The company's other outstanding films include Monsters Inc. and Frozen--the release of Frozen recently broke $1 billion in sales.. Disney plans to launch another 11 new titles in 2014. In addition, Disney has slated new titles of National Treasure, Toy Story, and Pirates of the Caribbean for release. These developments are expanding Disney's opportunities.
Time Warner has been forced to pursue interconnected film universes in order to compete effectively with Disney. Its Harry Potter franchise has grossed more than $2.39 billion. The company announced that it has three movies based on Harry Potter in the works. . In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, it posted record quarterly revenue of $8.6 billion, up 5% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. The shares of the company have only risen 5% since 2013. Projections call for its earnings to rise by 4% in 2014. With the Harry Potter movies in the works, Time Warner cannot be ignored.
Sony is also working to establish a broader film universe to generate reliable returns. The company and Disney completed a transaction which led to Sony's acquisition of the merchandising rights for Spider-Man films. The first film in the series grossed $752 million globally, and the company has four Spider-Man films under development. In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, its picture segment increased sales by 7.1% on a year-over-year basis to $2.1 billion. Sony hopes its Spider-Man series can match the commercial performances of the offerings from Time Warner and Disney.
Foolish takeaway
Walt Disney's stock has increased from $30 to $80 since July 2011. Despite this increase in valuation, some consider the stock a precarious investment. However, its Star Wars franchise, the enduring profits from its superhero brands, and the amazing possibilities presented by its other franchises indicate that investors should not dismiss the growth possibilities of the company.

Will Citi Settlement Herald End of ARS Party?
We're kind of sad that the auction-rate party seems to be winding down. So is Wall Street, which now has to pay for it.
On the heels of Thursday's huge auction-rate securities buybacks by Citigroup and Merrill Lynch, the WSJ's Kara Scannell brings us the scoop on the SEC's soon-to-be historic settlement with Citi. (See prior WSJ coverage of the Citi deal here )
The settlement, in which Citi promised to buy back more than $7 billion of securities held by its customers, came after several days of around-the-clock negotiations between the company, the SEC and state regulators led by New York AG Andrew Cuomo (pictured). For the SEC, the settlement is unprecedented in size and scope. Scannell said negotiations with Citi and authorities were delayed in part over differences in settlement terms between the SEC and state regulators. The SEC, led by director of enforcement Linda Thomsen and assistant director Rick Firestone, wanted to balance the need to send a message to Citi and other banks, while also trying to take into consideration its difficult financial condition.
The SEC didn't want to impose an upfront fine against Citi, say people familiar with the matter, while the states pushed for — and eventually got — a $100 million fine. Also, as part of the deal, the SEC wants Citi to use its "best efforts" to help help institutional investors sell roughly $12 billion of auction-rate securities it sold to retirement plans and institutional investors by the end of 2009, or else face possible sanctions from the commission. (In other words, this is the SEC's version of a deferred-prosecution agreement.)
But Cuomo wants a status update in three months on the company's progress with New York-based institutional investors. Tensions between state and federal authorities aren't surprising. Earlier this decade, then-New York AG Eliot Spitzer often overshadowed the SEC by moving faster and more vocally in resolving cases against various Wall Street practices.
Meanwhile, Citi isn't out of the regulatory woods just yet: The SEC still has an ongoing probe of individuals at the firm for their handling of the ARS market. Plus, once the settlement is approved by the SEC, people familiar with the matter say the agency will file a complaint a federal court, detailing allegations that Citi brokers misled investors by telling them that ARS were the same as money-market funds, which are easier to buy and sell.

First off, yes I have read all the related topics and those fixes are either out of date or don't work.
I am running 12.04 and I would like to add it to the Windows 2008 Server network. After I get that done I would like to mount the
F:\ drive of the server somewhere on my Linux machine where it can be identified as drive
F:\ by Wine or Dosemu.
If I can achieve all of that, I need to find out how to run a MS-Dos 16-bit Point-of-sales Graphic program in Ubuntu.
whether that be through Wine, Dosemu, or DosBox, it does not matter, it just has to be able to read and write to the servers
F:\ drive, operate the DOS app, and support LPt1 (I think) for printing receipts and loading tickets.
I am a decently knowledgeable Windows tech, at least thats what my job description says. But this is my first encounter with Linux in a work environment, it could prove to very experience changing if I can just prove it as a practical theory and a reasonable solution, and get it to work.
The first step is to get it joined to the domain. I have likewise-open CLI and GUI versions, samba, and GADMIN-SAMBA installed in attempts to get any of them to work.
Any help in any area is greatly appreciated, especially with the domain joining since it is the first step and what I thought would be the easiest step.

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
A study of 40 overweight children in Edmonton revealed that they all have high levels of apoB48, a structural protein found in intestinal cholesterol. The children displayed high levels of apoB48 even as their LDL cholesterol levels remained in the normal range.
"We don't consider these children to be at risk of developing cardiovascular disease right now, but they have indicated apoB48 at levels that are the same as those that appear in adults who are considered at high risk," points out Spencer Proctor, Ph.D., a nutritional scientist at the University of Alberta (UA) and co-author of the study. "So, unless their levels decrease, they will become high risk as they age."
The prevailing wisdom among researchers is that high LDL cholesterol, which is produced in the liver, is the best indicator of a patient's cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, even though researchers struggle to explain why 40–50% of people who suffer cardiac episodes have normal LDL levels.
The UA researchers believe that apoB48, which is found exclusively in a type of cholesterol produced in the intestine called chylomicrons, may complement LDL cholesterol as a marker for risk of developing CVD.
"We are not measuring the right things and not understanding all the processes that cause CVD," Dr. Proctor remarks. "This study adds to a growing body of evidence we've collected that indicates measuring apoB48 levels as a means to measure chylomicron levels may be an important piece to the puzzle in understanding just who is and who isn't at risk of CVD."
The study appears in the June issue of Biochemistry Society Transactions.

On August 31, 2014, everyone that currently uses Apple's popular picture/video/media app "iCloud" Storage system on their tablets, phones, pc's, and etc. are extremely vulnerable to many hackers through this large scale exploit. As of right now, a slew of celebrity's accounts through iCloud have been compromised with many private and nude pieces of media surfacing throughout many media outlets. The outbreak made its first appearance on the website 4chan with legions of Anonymous users posting leaked iCloud images in various threads around its random (/b) boards for their own amusement.
For those who don't know, the "iCloud" system syncs up to a particular device such as your phone, tablet, or pc, then automatically sends media the user creates immediately to the online storage "cloud" for either personal or public use depending on the users settings. Many users of the app and many other apps identical to it such as Facebook, Instagram, or Photobucket usually forget that their content is constantly being shifted into an online storage. In this case, many don't realize that personal info/media may be on one or more of these types of clouds which also can potentially be exploited.
So far, hackers only seem to be targeting celebrities and other famous personality's iCloud accounts looking for explicit personal media to either sell or to just disperse openly for "fun". In this case, the common user may or may not be immediately effected of this. For those who often use the system for backups or have uploaded any type of personal info/media to the iCloud storage, I'd strongly advise to anyone reading that you remove uploaded material as soon as possible and back it up somewhere else for the time being at very least.
As of now, Apple has not yet commented on the incident, but will more than likely respond very soon to this ongoing issue.

Hello, welcome to my profile!
I am 19 years old and from lovely Austria - although I think I am swedish, canadian and a kiwi, too
My main interests are Fantasy-movies... also known as Lord of the Rings (you could have guess, couldn't you?) and The Hobbit - plus stuff like Harry Potter, Narnia and so on... But mainly Tolkien-Universe. Especialy with the Hobbit movies from PJ at the moment (yes I am one of those fans who do not complain about those movies, although of course they're totally different to the LotR movies - but guys, thats progress. The filming industry is completely different now).
I love reading, too. Quite a bit.
And singing, acting, dancing and stuff you like to do if you love Musical Theatre.
And of course drawing, although I am a total beginner with everything. - But it's getting better practice, practice, practice )
Have a lovely day!!
