Washington D.C. Principles For Free Access to Science
DC Principles Media Statement
DC Principles Statement
WASHINGTON, DC - As scholarly, not-for-profit publishers, we reaffirm our commitment
to innovative and independent publishing practices and to promoting the wide
dissemination of information in our journals. Not-for-profit scientific, technical,
and medical publishers are an integral part of the broader scholarly communities
supporting scientists, researchers, and clinicians. We work in partnership with
scholarly communities to ensure that these communities are sustained and extended,
science is advanced, research meets the highest standards, and patient care
is enhanced with accurate and timely information.
We continue to support broad access to the scientific and medical literature
through the following publishing principles and practices.
1. As not-for-profit publishers, we see it as our mission to maintain and enhance
the independence, rigor, trust, and visibility that have established scholarly
journals as reliable filters of information emanating from clinical and laboratory
2. As not-for-profit publishers, we reinvest all of the revenue from our journals
in the direct support of science worldwide, including scholarships, scientific
meetings, grants, educational outreach, advocacy for research funding, the free
dissemination of information for the public, and improvements in scientific
3. As not-for-profit publishers, we have introduced and will continue to support
the following forms of free access:
4. We will continue to work to develop long-term preservation solutions for
online journals to ensure the ongoing availability of the scientific literature.
5. We will continue to work with authors, peer-reviewers, and editors for the
development of robust online and electronic tools to improve efficiency of their
important intellectual endeavors.
6. We strongly support the principle that publication fees should not be borne
solely by researchers and their funding institutions, because the ability to
publish in scientific journals should be available equally to all scientists
worldwide, no matter what their economic circumstances.
7. As not-for-profit publishers, we believe that a free society allows for
the co-existence of many publishing models, and we will continue to work closely
with our publishing colleagues to set high standards for the scholarly publishing
The following not-for-profit publishers endorse the above principles:

Representing 265 publications
Backgound: Since 1995, more than 100 society and university not-for-profit
publishers have been working with Stanford University's HighWire Press to transform
traditional print journals into enduring and dynamic online journals. These
publishers have invested millions of dollars in online technology for information
presentation, distribution, and management; created unique and powerful online
services for the education and convenience of scientists; initiated some of
the largest and most influential experiments in online-only publishing; led
the charge in making information free to people who cannot afford to pay for
it; and developed state-of-the-art software to support authors, reviewers, and
editors. By effectively harnessing new technologies, these not-for-profit society
and university publishers have promoted the wider dissemination of scientific
information as well as free and unfettered access to journal content for both
the scientific community and the public. In so doing, these not-for-profit publishers
have become leaders in the online revolution for scientific publishing.
Through these not-for-profit publishers, the scientific community and the public
have easy online access to over 1.6 million articles of which more than 600,000
full-text articles are free. In addition, access is provided to the abstracts
of more than 12.6 million articles in more than 4,500 Medline journals, as well
as useful alerting and information management tools.
The experiments that have been conducted since 1995 and that are ongoing have
only been possible because these not-for-profit publishers have been successfully
adapting their proven business models to the online environment. As a result,
these society and university press journals remain high impact and well-respected
custodians of the scientific literature. Through numerous organizations that
serve the entire scholarly publishing community, not-for-profit publishers have
freely shared their ideas and innovations, with the common goal of improving
the dissemination of vital scientific and medical information throughout the

"One School, One Voice, One World" is the title of the initiative undertaken by the staff and students of Milton District High School in Milton, Ontario. Using the study of the Holocaust as a starting point, the school has engaged the study of diversity and tolerance, and attempted to bring this learning into every aspect of school life. New curriculum has been written, students have visited tolerance centres in Los Angles, New York , Washington D.C. and Montreal, and countless speakers have visited classes in the past four years. Students have put this learning into practice by working in various cultures quite different from their home environment…by working on a school building project in Ghana, helping reconstruction in New Orleans and West Virginia, working on a project in Kenya, and helping Habitat for Humanity in several locations. This book is an attempt to capture the core values of this emphasis by examining the most challenging and difficult location of all…Auschwitz.
A media and design company. Most recently we have worked with Ian Jones to publish his book "Making Connections".

Gabriela Montero: Improvising With The Band
Gabriela Montero in Studio on Sing It and Wing It - 08/28/2007
Produced by NPR and
Gabriela Montero is a fine classical pianist who is also a great improviser. She often ends her concerts by asking audience members to sing her a tune, so she can create a spontaneous composition around it. Along with Performance Today host Fred Child, Montero also fields songs sung over the telephone and creates her own improvisations. This week, the caller is Emily Bogrand, a student at Georgetown University. When she's not studying French and music, Emily works hard on her sailing team. The theme song for her crew is the popular tune from the late 1960s called "The Weight," by The Band. Emily's beautiful voice inspired Montero to drift comfortably into uncharted waters.

The visitor finds himself in one of the former outposts of the Soviet Union, at the crossroad where the East meets the West and where Scandinavian, German, Russian and Eastern European cultures have flourished side by side in the most impressive natural settings. The experience we offers in Tallinn is unique, as it blends the discovery of the Medieval City with a unique and exciting plunge in what life used to be in medieval times, its splendor, spirituality, mysteries and debauchery.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival from Tallinn International Airport, by boat or by train. Transfer to hotels. At 06:30 pm Meeting at hotel for program registration and details. Then we will rent the medieval costumes and at 09:00 pm will be the first medieval banquet feast. This will be your first experience in learning and tasting the medieval delicacies of the North. Make sure you taste some of this fine Northern game meat, get your scoop of tasty barley puree and try for the first time the comfort of a dark honey mead (beer). At 09:30 pm you will go on an organized evening treasure hunt. Includes: (D).
Day 2: 10:00 am a guided tour of "Mainstream Old Tallinn": The Town House, churches, small streets and fortified walls. Lunch at 12:30 am. and pass to the first theatrical tour, "A Spirit of the Town Wall and Turrets". This is the story of Gotschalk Schottelmund who was the Alderman of Tallinn in 1370. The tour features his journey on the city's wall and towers where he meets mediaeval characters such as a nun, prisoner, thief, tower watchers and others. The play provides tourvisitors with interesting facts about medieval life on the wall and towers, including fighting scene and other surprises. 04:30 pm "Pause Cafe" at the Classical Cafe on Old Town Square, known for the best pastries in town or free stroll and at 06:00 pm enjoy the second theatrical tour: "Hunted Houses and Backyard Secret Tales". This tour is dedicated to what a number of you have been expecting the most: The secrets behind the facades of Medieval Tallinn. The tour takes you to a number of those old manors and religious sites still haunted today by past crimes, lust and unsolved mysteries. You will be, for a few hours, one of the insiders of the obscure side of chevaleresque rivalries, fight for the control of trade or the debauchery of medieval town officials. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 3: Start your day with another exciting theatrical presentation: "The Story of a Medieval Merchant". You are taken back in time to 1528 to explore and learn about Old Tallinn, sample mediaeval music and drinks, and meet one of Tallinn's mediaeval merchants, the generous Lüdeke von Oyten (1508 - 1560). The guide and actors will transport you back to his time to meet a mysterious monk, a sophisticated druggist, a prosperous merchant, mediaeval musicians and members of the Brotherhood of Blackheads Guild who lived before the Livonian war. You will see that legends and old traditions still live on in the places you will be taken to, such as a mysterious Dominican Monastery, established 1246. One of the oldest, still functioning pharmacies in Europe, Raeapteek, is the place where you will dare tasting a unique potion, prepared since 1467. You will also be formally introduced to the Great Guild, an organization of rich merchants, which was the cradle of prosperity during Tallinn's golden age in late Medieval hours. The re-enacted story will also take you to the glorious House of the Brotherhood of Blackheads - this is an extraordinary 600 year-old organization of unmarried German merchants – and to the Old Town Hall, the most impressive and well-preserved architectural monument in Tallinn. Now is the time for you to take an active part of the city. Teams will compete one against each other in the search for the mysteries and treasures hidden in the Old Tallinn. This active learning experience will delight your spirituality and your knowledge of medieval history and what you have learned during your trip with our "Time Machine". May the pure hearts and the strong minds win! In the evening, between 05:00 pm and 07:00 pm Hotel Checkout and transfer to airport or harbor.

My title and job is Oiler and my duties are to maintain the equipment and to keep the equipment running and in good condition. Machines breakdown with constant use, so as an oiler, I have to lubricate, make adjustments and fix it if it breaks down.
Every day is a different scenario. This is a new plant with new equipment. We have to get trained so we can properly maintain and operate our machines.
My schedule is 7:00am to 3:00pm, Monday through Friday. Sometimes I am called to either work overtime or work weekends or even holidays depending on the situation.
Not only is it the largest but it is the newest, with state of the art technology. It is very challenging.
I've been here over a year and every time I went to a work site at the beginning I would get lost.
Properly lubricating and operating equipment is very important. We depend on equipment to run the plant and to properly treat wastewater.
I've worked a little over a year at the plant.

Typically found in machine shops, the granite surface block has been found to be perfect for assisting in sharpening chisels, block planes, and more in the everyday workshop. The flat face of a granite plate is great for leveling plane beds, flattening water stones, and general sharpening duties. Soak a piece of wet dry sandpaper in water - lay it on the stone, and the capillary action of the water adheres the paper to the stone eliminating the need for spray adhesives or sticky backed sand paper. The Granite block can be wiped clean with a paper towel.

It's obvious to most locals that downtown's restaurant resurgence is in the fast lane. Only three decades ago, weekdays at 5pm meant a massive exodus to the safety of suburbia. Downtown storefronts were chained, parking garages emptied, graffiti artists salivated. A mere smattering of white table-clothed restaurants served the theater-going crowd.
The current American dream, even for many families with children, is to live in the city center. Loft renovation projects and apartment construction progress at a furious pace. Futuristic, industrial-driven restaurants, serving fried pig-snouts and roasted marrow on redwood tables amid rusted metal-corrugated walls are born almost daily.
White table-cloths have given way to aluminum diamond-plate. Crystal sconces replaced by exposed pipes. Bow-tied, pencil-thin moustached maitre d's named Enzo have been exchanged for eyelid-pierced, soul-patched waiters named Elijah or Chloe.
Residents and restaurateurs, particularly in eastern districts have accepted, or perhaps embraced a SoHo-esque tolerance for grunge and graffiti. Sustainable is the crusade du jour, Farm-to-fork is the new 'fresh catch (words) of the day.'
With so many dining choices, and summer in full blaze, let's explore one restaurant category - downtown outdoor dining. View a few options in the photo list above.
Café Pinot
Joachim Splichal's lovely garden café in the Patina franchise. A leafy setting in the art-deco shadow of the Central Library. Service is theater-goer savvy. As with many area eateries, free shuttle to the Music Center. French onion soup followed by dijon-crusted rotisserie chicken.
Takami Sushi & Robata
21st floor Financial District Asian-Fusion (sushi & grilled skewers focused) with wrap-around, open-air
patio and 360-degree city views. Go for happy hour - gyoza skin spicy shrimp taco with spicy mayo and avocado, cooled by icy lychee mojitos.
Soleto Trattoria and Pizza Bar
Casual patio setting for summer evening al fresco dining on Figueroa. Nice vibe at spacious bar inside. Sausage and white truffle oil pizza. Honey Sriracha fried chicken. Kale salad with salmon, cranberries, and hazelnuts.
Nick & Stef's Steakhouse
Inside the Wells Fargo Building, and home of the glass-enshrined, dry-aging meat locker. Snag a table on the less-stuffy outside patio. Combine a table-side Caesar, dry-aged ribeye, a jammy cabernet from the huge cellar, and a balmy evening - recipe for a memorable dinner.
At the forefront of downtown's restaurant revival when it opened inside Union Station in the 90's. The dining room is charming, but sit in the little-known garden patio, where lantern-lit Jacarandas and tranquil tile fountain embellish the magical art-deco ambiance.
Upscale French-Japanese inspired in the Financial District. Quirky yet elegant Asian decor inside, breezy, romantic 'yakitori patio' outside. Full Sushi bar. Lovely dish presentation and creative drinks. Maine lobster & shrimp ravioli, zesty Blackberry Tokyo Mule cocktail.
Begin the evening at the rooftop bar, before the sun sets. Enjoy cocktails and Parisian café music before descending one floor to the lively restaurant. Romantic patio seating, looming city views, a live yet subtle jazz combo, and a succinct, delicious menu of French country dishes...have made The Standard rooftop an afterthought.
Far Bar
Stealthily located jewel in Little Tokyo, wedged between brick buildings on 1st Street. Entrance and patio could pass for a turn-of-the-century Grant Ave alleyway in San Francisco. Interior gets mobbed during happy hour, where it seems "Big Trouble in Little China" is always on the TV.
The MUST
Historic Core neighborhood bar-restaurant off of Main opened by founders of Perch. Enjoy Yo' Mama's Chicken, Caesar Chavez Salad, and pitchers of Dog Ate My Homework Ale, or sip muddled grapefruit MUSTgaritas while mingling with friendly urbanites in the spacious interior or the airy patio.
Blue Cow Kitchen & Bar
Sandwiches, salads, and craft beers by The Mendocino Farms team. A modernistic, offbeat patio setting in the Lower California Plaza. Noteworthy: Braised, caramelized pork belly with fried egg on french baguette. Marinated steak sandwich with candied bacon & cilantro spread.

For UNICEF, a healthy childhood for every child is not just about the availability of health services. It is about connecting health services to the children who are in the greatest need.
In Serbia, this means changing 'business as usual' health approaches that reach the majority of children but do not always reach the most marginalized. It also means looking beyond health services to address the barriers that deter some families from claiming their fundamental right to health care.
Serbia's child death rates have been almost halved in ten years. With seven deaths before the age five for every 1,000 live births, the country is now on a par with some EU countries, such as Hungary and Poland. But overall progress masks serious problems.
The challenges
What we do
UNICEF helps to build connections and tackle the barriers to a healthy childhood. Our support for Roma Health Mediators, for example, helps to connect Roma settlements to local health services while addressing such barriers to health as the lack of health insurance.
Our support for training, guidelines and standards for health professionals helps them meet their obligations to marginalized children. Our development of Baby- and Mother-friendly standards and guidelines, is helping to reverse the decline in breastfeeding and ensure that health services provide the best possible support for early childhood development, supporting both children and their parents at this crucial time. And our work on violence gives professionals across all sectors – including health – the skills and approaches they need to help children suffering abuse.
Building the evidence
Roma Health Mediators (RHMs) provide vital data on Roma families, with laptops and software provided through an innovative tri-partite partnership between the Ministry of Health, Telenor (a Norwegian telecommunications firm) and UNICEF.

Natural afib control
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
To summarize how I control my afib naturally:
Avoid the triggers. For me triggers are stress (lack of sleep), caffeine, wheat gluten, sugar, MSG. I also avoid red meat and dairy as I find they aggravate arthritis. I also removed metal dental fillings and did a heavy metal detox. Noticeable improvement happened with this.
I don't see how you can heal something (the heart) by damaging it further (with ablation or other invasive means). Also see this posting: http://www.drrathresearch.org/arrhy...
I liked the idea of micro nutrients proposed by Dr. Abram Hoffer and Dr. Rath which is why I chose this route.
I take a number of vitamins and minerals, non-flush niacin is especially important as is a good vitamin B complex and magnesium. I found that ReMag, a form of pico magnesium or Angstrom magnesium have prevented afib episodes for me when I might otherwise have been triggered into afib. The idea is that the magnesium is so tiny that it can be directly absorbed by cells bypassing the digestion process. Whatever actually happens, I'm just pointing out it really helps me.
I have a 150mg Rythmol "in my pocket". I might need one once in a while if I can't avoid being triggered, hidden MSG has done that and it takes about 3 hours to return to normal rhythm. Sometimes I don't need a Rythmol for 3 or 4 months in a row. The pico magnesium has shortened the time it took to return to normal rhythm.
I used to be so bad that even the slight stress of talking on the phone would send me into afib - that was in 2005. They put me on 150mg Rythmol every 8 hours. It took about 6 to 9 months to figure this out, get off the Rythmol and get under control, now I'm pleased with the control I have.
If anyone would like more details, message me here or my email: email@example.com

I didn't want to control A-fib. I didn't feel the irregular hearbeats, but I did feel the fatigue and dizziness. I had an ablation 6 mo. ago and I am still A-fib free. I'm glad you are happy with your path, because I know I'm thrilled with mine.

I think everyone should investigate all the natural and healthy things they can do to help their afib. However, there is no sure "forever" cure, medical or otherwise. I do all the things they mention with no cure for my chronic afib. I am otherwise healthy other than treated moderate sleep apnea. Ablation worked for tomorrowsdream and her chronic afib. We all need to make our own decisions based on what our expectations are. I put to wiki urls for the 2 doctors cited as their work is controversial:
Dr. Matthias Rath http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthi...
Dr. Abram Hoffer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_...

Petey, you are a smart man. Are you really going to replace the fillings in your teeth thinking it is going to help A-Fib, because that ridiculous. I'm all for your choice to control your A-Fib, if that's what you want, but there are some things that are just stupid advice.
I am always outspoken. You can take me or leave me, but I don't believe in misleading people.

And since when did avoiding all red meat become a cure for arthritis? Yes, it does help the heart not to overdo the red meat, but be real....we all enjoy a good steak now and then.

The 3 fillings I have I believe are actually alien implants that "the greys" put there to track human behavior. After 3 weeks of tracking my behavior, they never came back.
Actually, I only have 3 tiny fillings in the back. I mean tiny. I didn't change them. When I was younger, I wanted to have them replaced with white because I thought they looked like cavities. Funny how priorities change.
I do eat some red meat, but find it harder to digest. It's easier to eat chicken, turkey, salmon, and pork. But I'm not "red meat phobic".

I think it's only natural to seek a treatment or adjust our habits in an effort to reduce or minimize symptoms. In the beginning I was determined to get to the bottom of what I was doing that was causing this change in my heart rhythm. I would think that the "maybe I can fix it" approach is common. For me it started a long and futile search that bordered on obsession and in itself became a source of stress. Many things like supplements were ineffective. In the end I settled on eliminating caffeine and eventually alcohol( only a few beers a week anyway). I did long periods of testing with and without caffeine and really found no difference but finally decided that any stimulant was a poor choice. I had been giving up the dietary things I enjoyed since I was 16 years old due to an ulcer(H. pylori was the culprit, finally cured) so I was well-rehearsed at sacrifice.
I did a lot of research on the removal of amalgam fillings and the effect this alloy has on heart rhythm. Certainly minimizing our exposure to Mercury and all toxic heavy metals is very wise. We are exposed to Mercury in many ways in our lives including food sources, so awareness just makes good sense. I stopped eating canned tuna for that reason many years ago. I don't however think that removal of all amalgam fillings would have made any significant effect on my battle with AFIB. I did stop the addition of these fillings years ago and opted for non-metallic since. Removal of amalgam fillings actually exposes you to Mercury vapor and traces of Methylmercury and removes healthy tooth structure. Tests have been done that have determined that the levels of Mercury in those with amalgam fillings is below a level of danger but many people are sensitive to heavy metals so I don't think a broad stroke safe zone can be applied. As I mentioned, it makes good sense to try and eliminate or at least control the amount of toxins we're exposed to especially since there are many we're exposed to in our lifetime and we are completely unaware.
I don't know if I consider antiarrhythmic meds as toxic but they are powerful drugs that have an effect on a very vital organ. Some are said to have potential long term-negative impact on health so I wasn't inclined to go on a twice daily dose for the rest of my life or until they became ineffective.
Doug, I'm very happy that you found treatment that has controlled your condition well. Having a holistic approach to the health of your body is something everyone can benefit from. Some folks simply see sacrificing the things they enjoy as a reduction of their quality of life and accept the fact that their choices may have ramifications. I get the counter statement of "you can't live in fear" all the time and that's very true but regret can be a tough thing to live with as well, even for a short period. My philosophy is moderation and accepting the fact that we are not at the wheel of these lives, we are only caretakers waiting for our next assignment.
I chose ablation as a treatment because a window of opportunity was closing and another TIA loomed. While a TIA or stroke will always loom, the thought of imposing my every need on my wife for the rest of our lives was more regret than I could fathom dealing with. Men in my family tree rarely have lived past their early 60s so I wanted a better quality of life for the home stretch, so far I've achieved just that. If my heart was "damaged" by the procedure it definitely doesn't feel that way. I'm back to running and feeling like I did over 16 years ago and best of all I'm sleeping again. 2-3 hours of sleep for more than 10 years was taking a huge toll on my health and frame of mind. Surgery frightened me and then it gave me my life back.

Great post Steve.

high five on that post, Steve. I didn't want A-fib period. That's all there was to it. I was sick of being sick, and I didn't want to take antiarrhythmics, and fortunately found a Dr. that didn't believe in them (and in fact thought the long-term results were dangerous)....so I would do the ablation again in a heartbeat. It did give me my life back.
Good luck to you, and may all you days be A-fib free.

Thank you for that Steve. I'm new here and found it very informative.

Canada: Virgin Mobile HTC Wildfire S pricing leaks, launch should happen soon
The HTC Wildfire S was unveiled in February during MWC as the successor to the original Wildfire and HTC's main midrange Android-powered offering. Since then, it's become available in many places, including in Canada through Bell.
However, we've known for about a month that aside from Bell, Virgin Mobile would also launch the Wildfire S in Canada. It still hasn't, but today pricing for the Virgin Mobile Wildfire S has leaked, suggesting that a launch will happen very soon.
The HTC Wildfire S will cost $29.99 at Virgin Mobile Canada with the SuperTab or a three-year contract. The no-contract price will be $249.99, and you'll also be able to get the smartphone on a prepaid plan for $199.99.
And those prices line up nicely with what the Wildfire S has to offer in terms of features. It's a very capable midranger that is sure to be chosen by many for its price/features ratio. We'll let you know when it finally becomes available at Virgin Mobile in Canada. In the meantime, you could of course get it from Bell if you don't have anything against doing so.

Michael Wolff's War on Everything Is Just Viral Marketing for Himself
And it's working!
Angry man for pay (and past and present New York contributor) Michael Wolff is at it again, as he is every time he has an article to promote. Long a media provocateur, Wolff has only optimized his barbed bitching for the Internet, where he works like a Method actor, matching the tone of his latest piece on social media and carrying on until everyone notices. This time, the pissy routine is aimed at New York City restaurants, where it's just too hard to get a reservation, let alone good service. Wolff has fought this battle before.
Here he is this week in the British edition of GQ:
I don't think it is possible to overstate the dominance of restaurants in urban life. They are the cultural focus and reference, eclipsing sports, art, literature, entertainment, music, drugs – and sex. You likely wouldn't have sex with someone who took you to the wrong restaurant (or at least wouldn't be happy about it). [...]
If your assistant is any good at all, he or she will have narrowed lunch to four or five places and have, by careful trial and error, measured how far in advance it's necessary to call in order to avoid rejection and disaster. Repetition – say, six months of bookings – will finally get you a favourable database field and a reliable table (until someone else starts to book who is yet more faithful or famous than you, at which point you're downgraded). [...]
For many years, I had a safe berth and an enviable table in the front room at Michael's, on West 55th Street, among the most hotly contested pieces of turf in Manhattan among media people. But then Michael and I had a tiff, which at the time seemed worth taking a principled stand about. The result was to cast me into a lunchtime wilderness from which, several years later, I have never really emerged.
This is not his first fight with the service industry. A 2009 profile from WWD begins like this:
For Michael Wolff, the best thing about moving to the East Village from the Upper East Side may be the chance to fight with a whole new set of people: the neighborhood's restaurant staff. Since arriving in April, the Vanity Fair columnist has tussled with several, and been asked to leave at least one place. (Telling one unsatisfactory server, "Oh? Possibly you're on drugs?" led to his ejection, Wolff says.)
When Wolff complained bitterly to his daughter about all this, "She went on to tick off 10 restaurants on the Upper East Side that I'd been asked to leave," he says.
And then there was the self-proclaimed Juicegate, in which police were called because Wolff wanted to break the rules and bring a fresh-pressed beverage into a movie theater. He also hates Elaine's. And Fresh Direct.
It's a tired shtick, sure — and easily refuted in the age of endless easily accessible, casual, and relatively cheap NYC restaurants. But it's also the golden age of the angry foodie or anti-foodie think piece, so he had to make his stick out somehow. In response, Wonkette called Wolff "a mindless jerk who'll be first up against the wall when the revolution comes." Always spoiling for a fight, Wolff went on a pretty little Twitter rant even though he'd warned preemptively in his (British) piece, "I am sounding cranky, I realise, which is risky behaviour."
My pledge: I am not going to curry favor with the young who can't afford decent restaurants.— Michael Wolff (@MichaelWolffNYC) March 11, 2013
I am learning: Young people take their culture very seriously. And they resent elders who have some dough.— Michael Wolff (@MichaelWolffNYC) March 12, 2013
Also, they can't write. Schools. Not good.— Michael Wolff (@MichaelWolffNYC) March 12, 2013
By widening his aim to include not only those who displease him service-wise, but young people and especially young writers, Wolff is baiting the bloggers. Now it's class war and an age war and a flame war — a one-day story, if that, in a foreign magazine, suddenly has an extended life span online. (And we're complicit, if not exactly enraged either way.) The historical record may show he's an asshole, but he's making it work for himself professionally.
"You will be shunned if you complain or grumble about the size of your table or the decibel level or general environmental assault, or ever actually try to send a dish back," Wolff wrote with self-awareness. "There is no way, really, to protest." Except on the Internet, of course, where even if your opinions are hated, they're rewarded at the same time. But he already knew that.

There's not only a countdown of the 5 most iconoclastic hardware samplers, but each episode will also feature a slot about the Art Of Sampling. A journey from the early sound piracy days of Stockhausen and Varese to current laptop samplers like Mark thingy and doobie wotsit (you know who I mean).
The professor's back too, with his own surreal view of sampling and his unhealthy obsession with 'that girl from the Human League' (not the blonde one, the other one!). He'll also be visualising samples for the hard of hearing and discussing 'criminal' sample overkill.
As well as romanticising about the golden age of sampling, we'll be chatting to boffins and musos about the current state of the industry and the events, software and technology that will shape its future in years to come.
So as the nights draw in we can guarantee that there'll be plenty for you to watch on SonicTV. Meantime, enjoy this trailer for the Top 5 Greatest Samplers of all time…EVER!
The series will be made up of a combination of editorial suggestions and the choices of the people we interview. The 'chart' format is used for entertainment value and is not intended to represent a definitive rundown.
Yay! The Prof's back...

I'd watch out for this one folks- my Audio8 DJ and TSP only work properly(on my PC) with drivers a full version and nearly two years back - and that's after turning off the vast majority of my computers systems - including internet access.

On five different occasions this season, Snyder lost a game by four points or less.
As a result the tigers started the year 0-4, and needed to get back on track in district play.
Back to back wins including a huge district win over sweetwater in their pocket, the stage was set for a dramatic and exciting finish in week ten.
Beat Midland Greenwood, and it's off to the post-season
Senior D'Vincent Allison helped complete Snyder's playoff mission by carrying the offense on his back. The all-district tailback rushed for 243 yards and four touchdowns leading his to team to victory.
"Man he ran the ball great," head coach Aubrey Sims told KTXS. "I think he's just gotten stronger every game all year long he was breaking tackles. We did a good job up front but he made some plays too by himself that made everybody go wild," added Sims.
"He's just a beast, he deserves it (player of the week)," senior quarterback Skillet Reinhart told KTXS. "All year he's been working hard in the weight room off season i'm just really proud of D'Vincent. I love having him by my side.
"I'm really proud of my team with the way they played last friday night," Allison told KTXS. "They had great blocks. They all did a really good job.
As if Allison's night couldn't get any better, after the Tigers clinched their spot in the playoffs, they ended the night by celebrating their star running back's birthday.
"We talked about it (his birthday) a little bit in the locker room and he said he was gonna 'go ff' and he did," says Coach Sims.
"The team had that vibe going for him that it's his birthday and it was good everybody up front wanted to block for him," added Rinehart.
"I just told them that I was going hard," added Allison. "I mean it was our last game to ever play in this stadium and it being senior night it was kind of an emotional thing at first with the seniors with the parents and everything but once it got to game time I was ready to go."
The Tigers will face Clint in the 3A division one bi-district round at 7:30, Friday in Kermit.

For an American Idol episode with so much gravitas—the viewing audience was reminded at the show's outset that the results of this episode would determine which of the three remaining contestants got to visit their hometowns, in a package that for some reason spotlighted Danny Gokey more than any other ex-contestant—tonight's episode sure felt oddly plotted and rushed. You'd think that having Lady Gaga on to mentor the contestants would have at least given the show some sort of structure since she has a Very Important Record To Promote, but she came in halfway through, in a black-and-white wig and makeup even more elaborate than what she had on in the "Judas" video, to quickly guide the contestants through the Lieber and Stoller songbook after they'd all performed songs that "inspired" them. Her fake birthmark alone was 100 times more interesting than the performances, let alone the judges' comments that followed them.
Ah, the critiques. The judges were kind of impressive last night in how they blissfully ignored the fact that three-quarters of the remaining contestants were full-on terrible. On the bright side, they were all terrible for different reasons, but I came away from tonight wanting Haley Reinhart—who has annoyed me with her stick-the-landing arm movements and tendencies toward screeching all season—to win it all. Now that Jacob Lusk is gone, she's the only person left who isn't way out of her depth (Lauren) or cheesy mimicry (Scotty) or just plain aggravating (James). Winning by default is still winning, right?
4. James Durbin. James' performances, all pyro-ed out and laden with guitar solos, bookended the show, which I guess is a sign that the producers really really really want him in the finale? "Hey, look, a heterosexual and not as good Adam Lambert! We see dollar signs!" This is the thought process I'm envisioning the producers having over the prospect of James winning, even though he is terrible and will be shoehorned into the soft-rock box that all the dude winners of the last few years have suffered inside. But you know, maybe that will result in him going away? Could his victory actually be a good thing?
In the video package preceding "Love Potion No. 9″ there was a super-awkward bit where Gaga guided James' hips through his run-through of the song and I seriously thought James was going to, uh, have an accident right there. The performance seemed longer than the others this evening, although that might have been because it was kinda agonizing (and augmented by a guitar solo, because, you know, he's the rock guy!!) and came at the end of an episode of the show that really should not have been stretched out to 90 minutes, or at least should have given 45 of them over to Gaga.
His opening performance of "Don't Stop Believin'" was your typical karaoke-bar runthrough of the song, and it was inexplicably slathered with high praise, including Randy Jackson saying that James' voice rivals that of the great Journey singer Steve Perry. I really hope Steve calls up his former bandmate to yell at him because, come on, James sounds nothing like this:
Oh, this video—a viral clip from the pre-YouTube era!-is called "A Tribute To America," and it actually ties into the second contender for fourth place, who is…
4. Scotty McCreery. Scotty has been the front-runner all season, so what on earth possessed him to Kristy Lee Cook it? "Kristy Lee Cooking it," for those of you not around during the seventh season, is when you pull out a hoary America-boosting song in order to remind the viewers at home that they are watching American Idol, and not, I don't know, Estonian Idol. And Scotty engaged in it in a totally blatant way last night when he pulled out Alan Jackson's 9/11 reminder "Where Were You," a song pitched to people not in New York finding out about planes flying into the World Trade Center which also has the added bonus of name-checking Jesus. Tug those heartstrings! And don't worry about that lyric where you say you don't know the difference between Iraq and Iran! That's totally understandable, right? Who reads the news anyway?
Perhaps Scotty pulled the America-loving from his ass because his second performance, of Lieber & Stoller's "Young Blood," was straight-up goofy. This may have been because Gaga made a bunch of sexual innuendos about his relationship with his microphone and he just wasn't ready for that sort of thing to be shown in public yet.
Speaking of not ready for prime time, we have…
4. Lauren Alaina. Hey Lauren. If you don't want to sing a song with a lyric about being evil? Pick a different song. I just can't with her and her "noooo I have to win winning is all that's important" schtick anymore. On the bright side, the dress she wore while singing a serviceable version of Martina McBride's "Anyway" was a gorgeous shade of crimson, and its, uh, semi-skirt with the leopard print inside made my roommate compare it to a mullet. Business up top, party underneath! (Don't worry, Lauren, that joke is supposed to go over your oh-so-innocent little head.)
1. Haley Reinhart. Which leaves us with Haley, who once again was treated to the same worst-to-first critiques from the judges that she got last week. For her "inspirational" song she picked Michael Jackson's "Earth Song," and its pleading coda was apparently the trigger for the judges to call her screechy—even though it was actually her least screechy performance in weeks (remember "Bennie and the Jets"?) and also sort of appropriate to the way the song goes? Boy was she pissed off after getting dinged by the judges–apparently she said this backstage:
"Everybody else gets good feedback and they really let me have it. They don't feel bad for me. Never have, never will. I got a little upset because that song is downright inspiring and emotional. No matter what, that hit me to the heart."
I don't blame her! She went right after James! Who is terrible and who hits his high notes maybe 30% of the time!
For her Lieber & Stoller song she picked "I (Who Have Nothing)," which is something of a risk given that season-six winner Jordin Sparks pretty much sewed up the competition with her two performances of it way back in 2007. She got some advice about turning into Edith Piaf and using breath for drama from Gaga (I wish they'd shown the two of them chatting about "You & I") and she came out and sang the song quite well—not as good as Jordin but probably better than anything else on the night—and got praise from the judges and was in it to win it again and, honestly, who didn't see that coming. This poor girl. The judges are either afraid to give anyone else honest feedback and know she's tough enough to take it or are trying to gin up the sympathy cycle for Haley so she gets out of the bottom, where she's been quite a few times lately. I guess if it's the latter tactic, it's working?
WHO I VOTED FOR: Haley. Just as shocked as you.
WHO SHOULD GO HOME: The judges? I know I've said that before, but if Randy Jackson yells "IN IT TO WIN IT!!!!" once more I'm going to break out in hives. I guess Lauren should go home because she once again revealed the gaping chasm between her ability to sing and her ability to interpret songs, which has plagued her all season. But in my dream world, James and his pyro and his endless guitar solos and his utter yuckiness would be departing at the end of this evening.
WHO WILL PROBABLY GO HOME: Not Scotty, I'll tell you that. 9/11 9/11 9/11!!
Tonight: Jordin Sparks performs! Let's see if she gives ol' Haley the side-eye. Also the video for Steven Tyler's horrifying solo single gets its premiere, which, well. I'm sure it'll be "bee-you-tea-full."
