Shitty Mix Tape ChallengePosted in Uncategorized on June 3rd, 2006 by kstevens
Via Norbizness I have discovered what might be the greatest contest ever. Pick five songs from your music collection which, taken together, comprise the shittiest mix tape of music ever. I am afraid I can't possibly win this contest since several current entries destroy any potential combination I could muster (check the link – 2 Hulk Hogan songs, one of which, along with the worst song I've ever heard, didn't even make the guy's top 5). However, here's my best effort:
1)Eagles – Love Will Keep Us Alive
This song pretty much destroyed my ability to listen to the any Eagles song.
2) Elton John/Kiki Dee – Don't Go Breaking My Heart
Using 70's duets should probably be against the rules of the contest
3) David Geddes – Run Joey Run (lyrics only)
I used to think this song was funny-bad. I was wrong. It's bad-bad.
4) Various Artists – I Love Rock & Roll (Joan Jett); Heart of Rock & Roll (Huey Lewis); Still Rock & Roll to Me (Billy Joel); We Built This City (Starship)
I'm cheating a little here, but I really, really hate songs attempting to glorify Rock & Roll. Seems to me that these songs were all recorded at a time when Rock & Roll was on the decline (if not completely dead).
UPDATE: The video for "We Built This City" is so bad that it manages to make a shitty song much worse (Abe Lincoln? WTF?)
5) Michael Murphy – Wildfire (lyrics only)
Some of the worst lyrics ever. Songs that tell a story are usually either very very good (Hurricane; Don't Stand So Clsoe to Me; Pancho & Lefty) or very very bad (Run Joey Run; Jack & Diane). This song clearly falls under the latter category. The fucking horse dies from a "killing frost" for christ's sake.
BONUS TRACKS (Because I couldn't include all my crappy hair band singles)
6) Whitesnake – Is this Love
7) Van Halen – How Do I Know When It's Love
8) Mr. Big – To Be With You
9) Journey – Faithfully; Wheel in the Sky (Armageddon Soundtrack anyone?)
10) Foreigner – Hot Blooded
11) Boston – Higher Power
12) Bad English – When I See you Smile

Congress Plugs Anti-Piracy Legislation By Day, Pirates Porn by Night

Do as we say, not as we do...
The U.S. House is currently debating the Stop Online Piracy Act (
), better known as SOPA. As mentioned in
our previous analysis
, SOPA has the potential to create devastating harm to internet businesses, as it allows sites to be taken down if any user posts links to infringing content.
For example, if a site's user policy explicitly forbid posting links to copyrighted material and one rogue user posted such content, the entire business could be effectively killed for however many weeks or days it took to remove the offending links and pass a complaint through the gears of bureaucracy. The solution appears to be sort of like chopping your leg off to fight an ingrown toenail.
I. All Onboard the Congressional Pirates Train
Now a particularly ironic fact has come to light -- it appears that IP addresses belonging to the offices of members of Congress have been downloading content illegally via BitTorrent.
Hurricane Electric's handy list of assigned IP blocks (found
) to track down which IP addresses belong to the offices of members of Congress. And lo and behold, when those addresses were compared to results on
, a torrent tracking site, they yielded over 800 hits.
Now to put this in context
tracks only a tiny portion of torrent traffic, so it appears that Congress -- even as they look to punish lesser mortals for file sharing -- are themselves gleefully committing a "smash and grab" as Vice President Joe Biden (D) once put it.
Much of the pirated materials appeared to be adult self-help or education books such as "Crucial Conversations- Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High" and "How to Answer Hard Interview Questions And Everything Else You Need to Know to Get the Job You Want".
Argh, Congress knows how to pirate, apparently! [Image Source: Reuters]
A fair amount of useful software -- like Microsoft Corp.'s (
) Windows 7 Ultimate Edition -- was also pirated.
But other pirated works appeared to be purely stolen for pleasure. For example one individual within the halls of Congress downloaded a season of Sons of Anarchy, a TV show on News Corp.'s (
) FX channel. Another download appeared to be
more "adult" in nature
-- "Gangland Cream Pie 21" (we're guessing that's not an educational baking special).
Some Members of Congress or staffers appear to like the cream pie. No, not this kind of cream pie. [Image Source: Food Network]
II. Editorial/Analysis: Should we be Surprised that Politicians are Hypocrites?
Is it surprising that the office of Congress are pirating even as they plot to chop the legs off of online business, further crippling the struggling U.S. economy, and raise taxes to further punitive punishments for filesharing that are already grossly disproportionate with offline offenses? Is it surprising that federal politicians or bureaucrats are pirating even as they plan to
imprison Americans for streaming sports events
, injecting even more Americans into the crowded penal system at a time when America imprisons more of its citizens than any nation in the world?
If Americans wants unbiased political representation -- human beings who truly wish the best for their well being -- why would they allow special interests to
pay federal politicians' way into office
? Clearly you're the boss of who pays you, and when it comes to politicians, their boss isn't the American people.
Why question are glorious industry installed leaders? [Image Source: Shepard Fairey]
should be congratulated though, for their excellent armchair gumshoe work. They've previously exposed busted torrent traffic coming from IPs
at the Department of Homeland Security and the RIAA
at Hollywood studios
; and at
the French President's Palace
. (Has nobody ever heard of Tor?)
Is intellectual property protection important? Of course. These government pirates are just as much in the wrong as the members of the public, as they're ultimately stealing work, denying hard working software engineers, actors, musicians, etc. funds.
But at the end of the day that SOPA and its propents aren't engaging in some lofty moral stand, they're just looking to smack down the little guy with punitive punishments, even as the nation's economy lurches and as they or their aids merrily pirate away.

RE: How you say it...
Check a legal dictionary. You will find that plagiarise is the legal term for copy. That is the action of duplicating something.
The various laws, regulations and rules against using another's work without attribution will have additional restrictions, extensions and definitions for the rule explaining why certain forms of plagiarism are not covered and other things that are not covered by the legal definition are included in the "anti-/pro- plagiarism" law/regulation/rule/standard.
Making an unauthorized copy by any means is piracy by definition. Certain forms of piracy are legal by statute or court decision. Mostly these are the Fair Use exceptions.
P2P file sharing does NOT delete the original when a copy is made. Until that original is transferred to the new owner or deleted, then, unless the owner of the original had permission to allow copying, the downloader was committing an act of piracy.
Legally the uploader is considered a pirate for putting the original on the scanner, turning it on and then inviting the world to come, punch the Start button, and take home their own personal copy.
P2P file sharing is not necessarily piracy. The act of copying copyrighted material without permission by any means (cassette duplicator, VHS duplicator, Xerox copier, Limewire, Napster, microTorrent, BitTorrent, Kodak Instamatic) is piracy. The tools used have legitimate legal uses. These legal uses however do not modify the definition of piracy.
If you really want P2P in general to avoid following Napster into the dustbin of history, you should be defending the legal usage of the method. This tactic is why VHS is still legal after the dust has settled. VCRs are capable of and are used for video piracy. The campaign to promote the right to use one in a legal manner won the piracy battles in the 1970s ...
The Digital Compact Cassette which allowed CD quality recordings and lossless copying briefly scared the recording industry in the mid 90s. Lawsuits were started to ban this technology on piracy grounds, but credit is given to lack of sales for the failure of this format.
CDs were another round. CD-R disks were fought by the recording industry. It was the computer industry and computer users demanding backup media that saved the CD-R from following the digital cassette. The recording indutstry did get some small concessions, such as the royalties collected by several governments for the material the media could be used to store--if the buyer chose to use it that way rather than for personal records, backups and other usages that no royalty payments would be owed to the music industry for...still they are collected because you MIGHT copy that floppy.
Don't defend piracy. Do that and the louder you shout, the stronger your opponent's arguments become. Do defend the right to store files in a distributed manner that guards against loss in the same manner that RAID does. Stress the benefit to
users and the damage to
users if the method is banned.
"We are going to continue to work with them to make sure they understand the reality of the Internet. A lot of these people don't have Ph.Ds, and they don't have a degree in computer science." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

I'm looking for a good marathon running shoe recommendation. Currently, I'm running in the ASICS Gel-DS trainer 16, and I really like the feel of them, but I also feel like they are too light to get me through my full marathon this fall (I've used them for a few halfs). I don't want something TOO much heavier (current sneakers are 8.5oz), but possibly looking to switch to a different brand of sneaker.
About me: I am light (~105 lbs) and small, female. I generally go for a "stability" shoe, I do not overpronate or need extra support. I'm aiming for a 3:30 marathon this fall, I run a 1:35-1:40 half marathon.
Any suggestions would be welcome!!

Caffe, Amore e Sorriso Sospeso Coming Right Up!
Photo of Hannah Young
A friend shared an Internet article on "suspended coffee" about a week ago. Curious, I read the article, and was left with more hope and enthusiasm for humanity. The caffe sospeso movement, with roots originating in Naples, Italy, has been a century-long practice in which an individual pays for two (or more) coffee orders where coffee is sold, but takes only one, hence reserving the extra for another patron who is unable to pay for the beverage. To me, this practice not only depicts a coffee-scale generosity, but also a celebration of humanity's sensibility for other's needs, which I believe inevitably trickles down to many aspects of our lives, similar to the pay-it-forward and domino effect concepts.
Inspired by the caffe sospeso concept, I thought, "Why not also subscribe to an amore e sorriso sospeso mentality (with a slight twist), especially when the going gets a little less than desirable? Moreover, I thought, having a "suspended love and smile" frame of mind could actually be an excellent tool that many parents like us would want handy at home, with our own kids. As parents, my husband and I find ourselves both lenient and strict with our little ones in various circumstances. Most of the time, fortunately, we find ourselves joyful for the precious gifts that unconditionally demonstrate love and smile to us in happy moments, and even right after tantrum episodes.
Hence, with the slight twist I was referring to above, instead of waiting for someone to voluntarily give you "love and smiles," why not bank love and smiles each time your child illustrates them (although I am convinced that the Universe knows how to use our loved ones to give and teach us about love and smiles)? Later then, when you yourself need either or both when your child challenges you, you are readily able to pull love and a smile from your amore e sorriso sospeso bank, and turn a potential conflict into a nurturing opportunity. The same practice works when another adult, a loved one or a stranger, challenges you – think of the uplifting century-old Neapolitan tradition, and tell yourself, "Amore e sorriso sospeso coming right up!" over coffee, tea, or extra smiles!
But you have no children, you say? Why not turn to the most loving, smiley, compassionate, forgiving, generous, wise person you know and begin filling up your _______ sospeso bank? You never know when you're going to need to withdraw such "virtues!"
Tonight, as my family sits down for dinner, I will continue to fill my love and smile bank from the love and smiles I will receive from them, not so much with the anticipation of needing love and smiles to deflect a confrontation, but to simply offer love and smiles to a friend currently going through a challenging time.
Pay it inward, forward or whichever way! Cheers to you, yours, all our sospeso banks, and a better world today, tomorrow and always.

Streelman came from nowhere, one-putting the final 10 holes and storming home in 28 strokes on the back nine to clinch his second tour title with a six-under-par 64 at the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell.
His seven birdies to finish and win is a tour record, supplanting Mike Souchak's previous mark of six straight from the 1956 St. Paul Open.
Mark Calcavecchia holds the record for most consecutive birdies on tour at nine, set at the 2009 Canadian Open.
"It's nuts," an emotional Streelman told Golf Channel after finishing at 15-under 265, one stroke ahead of Spaniard Sergio Garcia (67) and South Korean K.J. Choi (67), while Australian Aaron Baddeley (69) bogeyed the last to finish two strokes behind.
"I made a great putt on nine (and) had tough up-and-downs on 10 and 11 (for par). Those saved the round," said Streelman, who arrived at the tournament previously known as the Greater Hartford Open in terrible form, having missed four straight cuts.
But it all came together when he stepped to the 12th tee on Sunday.
"I started flushing it and made a bunch of putts. It was just a dream-come-true back nine."
Streelman, 35, who bounced around on mini-tours for half a dozen years before making the tour, collected $1.116 million.
His victory was made even more unlikely by the way he made his closing birdies.
His 35-footer at the 16th looked to be missing to the left, but it curled around almost behind the hole and somehow dropped in.
Then, at the 17th, he almost missed a three-footer, his putt barely sneaking in the side door.
And his eight-foot birdie at the final hole was not exactly in the middle, breaking to the right before it dropped.
Garcia, meanwhile, continued his strong form.
"Today I felt like I played quite well," he said. "I fought hard, gave myself some chances."

Hopkins 'craves' KO versus Murat, shot at Mayweather
Bernard Hopkins on Karo Murat: "I need a stoppage, definitely. I haven't had a knockout since 2004."
Bernard Hopkins on Karo Murat: "I need a stoppage, definitely. I haven't had a knockout since 2004."
Ring of Fire, the story of Emile Griffith, will air on Friday at 10 p.m. on The MSG Network.
"I keep saying 'I'm different' because it is true and I'm going to prove it once again on July 13," said 48-year-old Bernard Hopkins, referring to his upcoming fight with Karo Murat, who is 19 years younger.
Sergio Martinez's promoter, Lou DiBella, believes there's no doubt that the middleweight champion deserves mention alongside legendary Argentine Carlos Monzon.
Middleweight contender Matthew Macklin claims that he will handle unbeaten WBA titleholder Gennady Golovkin in similar fashion to how Bernard Hopkins knocked out then-undefeated Felix Trinindad in the 12th round.
Andre Ward on Bernard Hopkins: "You know, I think this is the first time that I've seen Bernard Hopkins get embraced from the beginning of an event to the end of an event. But, I mean, look how long it took."

Ron Paul wrote: The War on Religion
by Rep. Ron Paul, MD
by Rep. Ron Paul, MD
As we celebrate another Yuletide season, its hard not to notice that Christmas in America simply doesnt feel the same anymore. Although an overwhelming majority of Americans celebrate Christmas, and those who dont celebrate it overwhelmingly accept and respect our nations Christmas traditions, a certain shared public sentiment slowly has disappeared. The Christmas spirit, marked by a wonderful feeling of goodwill among men, is in danger of being lost in the ongoing war against religion.
Through perverse court decisions and years of cultural indoctrination, the elitist, secular Left has managed to convince many in our nation that religion must be driven from public view. The justification is always that someone, somewhere, might possibly be offended or feel uncomfortable living in the midst of a largely Christian society, so all must yield to the fragile sensibilities of the few. The ultimate goal of the anti-religious elites is to transform America into a completely secular nation, a nation that is legally and culturally biased against Christianity.
This growing bias explains why many of our wonderful Christmas traditions have been lost. Christmas pageants and plays, including Handels Messiah, have been banned from schools and community halls. Nativity scenes have been ordered removed from town squares, and even criticized as offensive when placed on private church lawns. Office Christmas parties have become taboo, replaced by colorless seasonal parties to ensure no employees feel threatened by a hostile environment. Even wholly non-religious decorations featuring Santa Claus, snowmen, and the like have been called into question as Christmas symbols that might cause discomfort. Earlier this month, firemen near Chicago reluctantly removed Christmas decorations from their firehouse after a complaint by some embittered busybody. Most noticeably, however, the once commonplace refrain of Merry Christmas has been replaced by the vague, ubiquitous Happy Holidays. But what holiday? Is Christmas some kind of secret, a word that cannot be uttered in public? Why have we allowed the secularists to intimidate us into downplaying our most cherished and meaningful Christian celebration?
The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. On the contrary, our Founders political views were strongly informed by their religious beliefs. Certainly the drafters of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, both replete with references to God, would be aghast at the federal governments hostility to religion. The establishment clause of the First Amendment was simply intended to forbid the creation of an official state church like the Church of England, not to drive religion out of public life.
The Founding Fathers envisioned a robustly Christian yet religiously tolerant America, with churches serving as vital institutions that would eclipse the state in importance. Throughout our nations history, churches have done what no government can ever do, namely teach morality and civility. Moral and civil individuals are largely governed by their own sense of right and wrong, and hence have little need for external government. This is the real reason the collectivist Left hates religion: Churches as institutions compete with the state for the peoples allegiance, and many devout people put their faith in God before their faith in the state. Knowing this, the secularists wage an ongoing war against religion, chipping away bit by bit at our nations Christian heritage. Christmas itself may soon be a casualty of that war.

Dr. Ron Paul is a Republican member of Congress from Texas.
thecontractor wrote: Casey, a closed mind is a wonderful thing to lose.
Try to expand your horizons and realize why a person would not want to reside in a society where abortion is legal. Regardless of your beliefs, try to see it from their point of view.
States should have the right to choose if abortion is legal or not, not the federal government. If a state deems it acceptable, and you don't agree, you can go to another state. What is wrong with that? Do you think that someone who has an opinion that abortion is wrong should not have a voice? Are they morally inferior? Poppycock. Ron Paul may not approve of abortion, but he is not going to use the power of the presidency and federally mandate that it is illegal. He sees that as an abuse of power, a concept forign to our current leaders.

So do you even want to respond to that, or were you just piping in to prove that you understood how supreme court nominations work? Amazingly, you are not the only one that took an elementary government class.
I covered my tracks and stated why I dont think the abortion issue matters all that much with respect to a presidential candidate (especially Ron Paul), but you ignored that and talked to me like I was a 3 year old. Because that's what you do.

A new operational concept currently under development by the United States military will form a key part of its 'pivot to Asia' and represents a similar pivot from land-based to air- and sea-focused military strategies. The emergence of the Air-Sea Battle Concept (ASBC) follows years of classified work by the US military on how to contend with near-peer competitors or high-end asymmetric threats.
The US is beginning to brief some of its allies on the ASBC, demonstrating not only the importance of the concept in US military thinking, but also its intended role as a reassurance to partners in Asia. Few ideas are currently influencing the posture and doctrine of US naval and air forces more than the ASBC. However, few concepts of such potential significance have been so closely guarded – until recently only a small coterie of Pentagon officials knew its full details.
Though the limited official material available on the ASBC does not identify any specific nation that is seen as a threat, but rather sets out capabilities that an adversary could possess, the strategy is likely to have been conceived as a signal to Beijing that Washington is cognisant of its military developments, and is taking what it considers appropriate measures.
The election of Tsai Ing-wen as president of Taiwan by an increasingly pro-independence electorate has made Beijing more likely to attempt to impose reunification.

The switch is part of the 2013-15 Statewide Energy Efficiency Plan, and does not require town or fire district funds.
According to the Compact, the municipal organizations will save more than half a million dollars yearly on electric bills and streetlight maintenance.Installation will be between January and June.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. - Two high school students are learning more about history and gaining work experience as apprentices at the Museum Support Building.
Sam Stubing, 15, a Harford Technical High School sophomore, and Brian Levine, 16, a Patterson Mill High School junior, are in the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation's HIRED! program. HIRED! provides paid apprenticeships for 15 to 18-year-olds. During the summer term, apprentices work eight hour shifts, two days a week, assisting with basic duties that are appropriate for their age and level of experience.
During their apprenticeship, Stubing and Levine are cataloging and resizing historical photos for the museum's database. They are also assisting in unloading, unpacking, and cataloging artifacts from Fort Monmouth, N. J. that will eventually go in the APG Museum.
This collection of artifacts came to APG after the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command relocated to APG and Fort Monmouth closed as a result of base realignment and closure. The artifacts will be displayed in the new APG Museum, projected to open next year.
Ed Heasley, acting APG Museum director, said that he wanted to work with apprentices this summer because he needed the extra help.
"They are helping me do an inventory," Heasley said. "Making sure that everything came down from Fort Monmouth that was supposed to come down. I believe that if teens get an opportunity to work or volunteer at a museum, they should take it. It looks good on a resume, and they will get an experience that not too many people get. And, they are learning to work together as a team."
Heasley added that working for the APG Museum requires background knowledge in a variety of subjects like history, mathematics, technology, science and engineering.
Stubing and Levine said that they were eager to get some work experience under their belt before graduating high school.
"Working at APG I thought was special, a good opportunity," Levine said. "I felt like I would learn more working here. Most teens don't get the opportunity to work on a military base. Maybe I will work here someday."
"The HIRED! program gives you job experience, I feel like now I can make better decisions," Stubing added.
Levine and Stubing added that the HIRED! prerequisites prepared them for future success, covering topics like resume writing, interview techniques, and money management.
"Most teens don't discuss these kind of things until it's too late," Levine said.
About HIRED!
The HIRED! program offers a variety of job placements for teens of military and government civilians assigned to APG. To secure an apprenticeship, candidates must achieve and maintain a 2.0 grade point average or higher before completing a pre-assessment and interviews with facility managers. Depending on the skills and interest teens show in these interviews, they are placed under the direct supervision of a designated onsite mentor who is responsible for tutoring their individual apprentices.
Career options in the HIRED! program include: education, child and/or youth development, marketing or graphic design, library and information science, food and beverage management, pet care education, information technology, sports studies and sports management. Students may participate in the program twice a year between the ages of 15 and 18.
Additional requirements for the students include participating in other career preparation enrichment activities such as workshops and classes where students learn how to complete financial aid forms and scholarship applications. Students will also be expected to keep a journal of their experience.
Teens will receive experience that will make them competitive in future job opportunities and college applications." Jay McKinney, APG'S HIRED! coordinator. "Students will develop work and life skills, like customer service, and resume writing, that will be applicable to any job they might pursue in the future."
The HIRED! program is accepting teens for the fall term, which starts Sept. 10. During the fall term, teens will work three hours a day, five days a week. On Aug. 16 teens will be able to earn five prerequisite credits by attending the "Preparing Teens for the Workplace" workshop held at the Child,Youth and School Services Bldg. 2522, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. To register or to find out how to become a mentor, contact McKinney at email@example.com, or call 410-278-3250.

Location: Tropical Crop and Commodity Protection Research
Project Number: 2040-43000-017-05
Start Date: Sep 29, 2013
End Date: Sep 28, 2018
In 2002, Congress provided funds to PBARC with the mandate that funds should be split between CAFNRM and PBARC to develop a mutually beneficial collaborative research effort. Each institution would focus on research areas in which they have strengths and which would move them closer to achieving the stated objective. To ensure that the research is focused on the objective and to assess progress, the investigators, the Dean, and the Director will meet annually to evaluate the work. Following the annual meeting, changes in the research personnel or focus may take place if needed. To maintain a degree of flexibility, the Dean may use a small part of the funds to support other projects that may not be directly related to the main objective. These small projects may take no more than 49% of the total available for this SCA, must aid PBARC in meeting its mandated research objectives, must meet the requirements outlined in this Approach, must meet its internal milestones as described by the principal investigator(s) and must be developed as a partnership between a PBARC scientist and a CAFNRM scientist whenever possible, although they can include scientists from other institutions or organizations for purposes of leveraging intellectual or fiduciary capital. During 2013-14, there will be two primary sub-projects and one small secondary project as follows: Primary Sub-Projects: -Biofuel byproducts to supplement cattle grazing. -Use of algae for aquaculture feeds. Secondary Sub-Projects: -Beekeeping. Byproducts to Supplement Cattle Grazing: After completion of on-going baseline grazing trials in the eight experimental paddocks at the University of Hawaii at Hilo farm in Panaewa, a set of experiments will be designed to test the feasibility of using locally-produced byproducts from biofuels, algae or agricultural wastes in supplemental diets for cattle. These cattle will be grazed on typical pastures, fed the supplements and growth responses monitored. Use of Algae for Aquaculture Feeds: This sub-project had two major components: production of microalgae using the pilot-scale microalgae culture facilities at Pacific Aquaculture & Coastal Resources Center (PACRC); and feeding trials comparing a microalgae-based diet with a standard test diet. The first feeding trial experiment will feed "kahala" (Seriola rivoliana) juveniles experimental diets with the Schizochytrium sp., the green algae Haematococcus sp. and SPC as the major protein sources to replace 10, 25, 40, 60 and 80% of dietary fish meal. Beekeeping: A 20 page booklet was completed in 2012/13 providing detailed instructions and pictures on how to build a custom top bar hive including an oil tray to exclude the small hive beetle, an insect that is restricted to only certain Hawaiian Islands. These plans allow the beekeeper to utilize materials that can be found here in the islands to build hive structures thereby reducing dependency on importing materials for hives. Furthermore, this type of hive lends itself to farms that are primarily interested in pollination rather than hive products. During 2013/14, tests of these hives will continue.

This cfp is for a special session proposal for MLA's 2017 conference, which will take place 1/5-1/8 in Pittsburgh, PA.
6-8 July 2016 at Gladstone's Library, Flintshire, Wales
An international, interdisciplinary conference that brings together scholars from across the arts and humanities to explore the array of imaginative responses to the Victorian political environment.
From the earliest sea journeys, the challenges of coastal and ocean travel have rendered the sea liminal. Vessels at sea existed between landmasses, nations, and political systems, while limits of communication, high incidence of shipwreck, and vagaries of weather and navigation meant that to be at sea was, figuratively, to exist between life and death, especially from the point of view of those on land. The sea was, and is, a realm of mystery; its inaccessible depths and the workings of its global systems resist human mastery. As a means of travel, exploration, warfare, trade and imperial expansion, the sea's historical and cultural importance for maritime nations has long been reflected in their literature and art.
University of Northampton, 9 & 10th September, 2016
This is a transdisciplinary conference that will explore representations in contemporary visual culture of boundary crossing, liminality and queerification with specific reference to occultism, mysticism, shamanism and other esoteric and spiritual practices.
trans- prefix meaning: across, beyond, through, on the other side of, to go beyond
state: a condition or way of being that exists at a particular time
Theorising the Popular Conference
Liverpool Hope University
June 28th-29th 2016
The Popular Culture research group at Liverpool Hope University welcome papers from academics and graduate students for its sixth annual international conference, 'Theorising the Popular'. Its aim is to demonstrate the intellectual originality, depth and breadth of 'popular' disciplines, as well as their academic relationship with and within 'traditional' subjects. The group breaks down disciplinary barriers and challenges academic hierarchies.
We invite delegates from around the world to join us for the 11th biennial ANZAMEMS conference in Wellington, New Zealand, 7-10 February 2017 (https://anzamems2017.wordpress.com)
Our theme for ANZAMEMS 2017 is mobility and exchange. We encourage proposals for papers or panels addressing any aspect of this theme, including (but not limited to):
Panel CFP, ANZAMEMS 2017 - Mobility and Exchange in Medieval and Early Modern Afterlives
A multicultural and global world has triggered a widespread and increasing fascination with all aspects and processes related to mobility and exchange in the humanities and social sciences. Like many disciplines in the humanities, medieval and early modern studies is often challenged about its relevance in the contemporary world. One way to respond to these concerns is to engage not just with the historic medieval and early modern past but also with the various medievalisms and early modernisms in contemporary popular culture.
Extended Deadline: February 15
Conference Date: April 1
Location: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Studies of black racial subjugation throughout the Diaspora have increasingly highlighted narratives and embodiments of resistance as central aspects of the black experience. The survival of the black community when faced with slavery, sexual exploitation, and racial discrimination, depended upon measured and creative methods of resistance. Though some of the strategies by which black people historically and continuously challenge white supremacy and gender oppression are visible in the archive, many forms of resistance are subversive and elude researchers of black history, literature and culture.
Central & Eastern Europe's cultural visibility has increased since the 1989 Fall of the Berlin Wall and with Romanian-born German writer Herta Müller's 2009 Nobel Prize in Literature. In light of this new visibility, how are Central/Eastern European cultures and history being taught, both within and outside the region? What has changed in the way these countries (past and present) contribute to the understanding of the cultural configuration of the region or the continent? How and what should educators include in various curricula? How do we teach the communist period to new generations and/or to the West and the rest of the world?
CFP: The Anatomy of the Image: Perspectives on the (Bio)medical Body in Science, Literature, Culture and Politics
International Conference
Monash University, Melbourne, Australia
16-18 February, 2017
Organizers: Associate Professor A. Fliethmann, Associate Professor R. Kokanovic, Dr. C. Weller


text: MUMBAI: The Nifty in early trade on Friday was consolidating in a narrow range with a negative bias in the absence of supportive cues from Asian peers. Gains in FMCG, oil & gas and technology were offset by losses in auto, capital goods and power sectors. According to analysts, the market may see some profit booking before resuming next leg of upmove.

Start Date: Jul 21, 2011
End Date: Dec 31, 2013
Objective 1: Six- to 8-week old male Balb/c mice (Bar Harbor, ME) will be housed in a temperature and humidity controlled room in BSL-2 level containment with free access to water and standard mouse chow during the studies. The NADC Animal Care and Use Committee will approve all animal procedures in the studies. Mice will be randomly assigned to treatment groups (n = 10) consisting of: 1) Control noninfected (no vaccine, no MAP); 2) Control infected (no vaccine, MAP); 3) Adjuvant/infected (Sigma adjuvant system); 4) 74F construct/infected; 5) MAP proteins/infected. Each mouse will receive 100 micrograms of protein subcutaneously, and will then be boosted with the same protein(s) two weeks after the initial immunization. Two weeks following the booster administration, mice will be inoculated intraperitoneally with live, virulent MAP (NADC strain 167; 108 cfu). A polyprotein construct, Map74F, has shown efficacy in reducing MAP infection in the mouse and goat model (Chen et al., 2007) and will be used as a positive control in our studies (Cornell University). Control noninfected and Control infected mice will receive sterile PBS to simulate vaccination. After three months of infection, mice will be anesthetized by inhalation of isofluorane and decapitated with a guillotine. Tissues (spleen, liver, mesenteric lymph node, ileum) will be removed and processed for culture on Herrold's egg yolk medium (Becton-Dickinson). At 12 weeks of incubation viable MAP recovered from tissues will be enumerated. Portions of each spleen will be macerated for isolation of splenocytes. Splenocytes will be cultured with medium control (NS), Con A (10 micrograms/ml), MPS (10 micrograms/ml), and the appropriate protein(s) used as the vaccine. Secretion of cytokines such as IL-4, IL10, IL-12, IL-23, and IFN-gamma will be assessed on culture supernatants after 24 hr of incubation. Flow cytometric analyses will be performed after six days of incubation to evaluate effects of immunization on CD4, CD8, gamma delta TCR subpopulations, as well as monocytes and B cell populations. A profile of activation markers such as CD25, CD45RO, CD44, CD62L, and MHCII on T cell subsets will also be determined. Objective 2: Similar to above except treatment groups will consist of: 1) Control noninfected (no vaccine, no MAP); 2) Control infected (no vaccine, MAP); 3) Vaccination with MAP gene clones (singular or pools; vaccine, MAP). Each mouse will receive 50 micrograms of pooled DNA intramuscularly, and then boosted with the same clone pool preparation three weeks later. Two weeks following the booster administration, mice will be inoculated intraperitoneally with live, virulent MAP (NADC clinical strain 167; 108 bacteria per mouse). Control noninfected and Control infected mice will receive sterile PBS as a sham inoculation. DNA candidates will be selected based on the seven best clone pools from previous research in our laboratory (Huntley et al, 2005). Selection criteria will be that clones are present in at least two of the seven clone pools. The clones meeting these criteria will be reassigned to new clone pools consisting of 10 pools of 50 clones each.

Minnesota State Fair Day was created in 2008 when a few Minnesotan ex-pats living in New York City commiserated about missing the fair. Armed with fanny packs, sticks and comfortable footwear, the group set forth on foot throughout the city attempting to create a fair experience via food.
Some of the foods consumed that day to imitate the fair experience were corn on the cob, milk and cookies, donuts (however, not mini), and French fries. Each year the itinerary improves and we are able to incorporate more authentic items such as Sweet Martha's Cookies, cheese curds and Leinenkugel beer. We are working on some even bigger surprises this year.
This annual event is a labor of love, a celebration of Minnesota and the Great Get Together. The event is organized by volunteers bonded by fried-food-friendship in the wee hours of the day and night in New York City.
Join us August 18, 2012. No need to be a Fair expert, or even a Minnesota native, as long as you have an appetite all are welcome!

It took four years for the late Douglas Putnam to build the house that's come to be called The Anchorage for his wife, Eliza.
It's taken far longer than that for restoration of the historic building, built in 1859.
The annual porch sale to benefit restoration work on The Anchorage will wrap up Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with everything from clothes and books to knickknacks for sale.
Article Photos
Marietta residents Gretchen Otto, right, and Judy Van Dyk, left, look over some of the items available during a porch sale at The Anchorage in Marietta Friday. The porch sale concludes Saturday, with funds raised to help in the restoration efforts of the historic building.
The Marietta Times
"I promised myself I wasn't going to buy anything at this one," laughed Judy Van Dyk, 72, of Marietta, after taking a pile of goodies to the checkout and returning for more. "I like unique things and they always turn up here."
Proceeds from the sale are one of the key sources of funding for the Washington County Historical Society as it works to restore The Anchorage to its former glory.
After serving as a residence for the Putnams and famous Marietta residents like Edward MacTaggert, the building also served as a nursing home back in the 1970s.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Porch sale to benefit restoration of The Anchorage.
Where: The Anchorage, located near Harmar Place Rehabilitation and Extended Care Facility.
When: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
Purpose: Proceeds will be used to fund restoration of the historic building.
The Washington County Historical Society purchased The Anchorage from Marietta Memorial Hospital in 1996 for $1, and has been working on restoring the building since.
"We haven't done much work upstairs because we're trying to fix the downstairs," explained Georgaleen Hockenberry, a trustee with the historical society.
Through the efforts of volunteers, and fundraising efforts like the porch sale, floors in both the dining room and music room have been refinished. Some walls and ceilings, such as the entryway hallway, have also been redone.
One room, dubbed the DAR room for the Daughters of the American Revolution who provided the bulk of the funding, has been completely restored.
"A lot of things, like the boiler system and the french drains don't show, but it's been a lot of money," said Ruth Thorniley, vice president of the historical society.
Replacement of the roof is the biggest project yet to be addressed at The Anchorage.
Past estimates to replace the roof have been anywhere from $70,000 to $90,000.
Once it is restored, the ground floor of The Anchorage will become a museum and research library for the historical society. The historical society plans to eventually move into the 22-room building.
With such grand goals, fundraising is especially important given the costs.
"The work we do is done by volunteers, but we have to buy the materials," Hockenberry said. "We can work as long as we have money."
Fundraisers such as the porch sale provide a significant boost to the restoration efforts, as past sales have raised between $800 and $1,000.
Offering more than just clothes, the porch sale has a lot of unique items as well, Van Dyk noted.
A wedding gown sold early in the day Friday and several more formal gowns were still there in the afternoon, and the dresses were well worth the price, Van Dyk said.
"The prices, they really are right," Van Dyk said. "They're almost giving stuff away. It's great."

Rumours of a cheaper and smaller iPhone have been around for some time. They have now resurfaced courtesy of a China Times report. The claim (as usual) is that the new model would allow Apple to better compete against cheaper devices, especially lower-end Android ones.
Such rumours have surfaced a number of times but never materialized. Each time, Apple has chosen to simply continue offering an older model at a reduced price along with the new model. With rumours that the next iPhone will sport a larger display, the current iPhone 4S could by default become the smaller model. Does Apple really need another smaller model?
The report adds that the iPhone nano could be introduced at the same time as the next generation iPhone.

History of Rock & Roll
History of Rock & Roll Introduction
In A Nutshell
The songs and the sounds we call "rock and roll" evolved from many different sources, in many different regions, and at many different moments in twentieth- century history. The music was shaped—and continues to be molded and transformed—by countless regular people, some doing what they love, others seeking refuge from what they hate, some hoping to change the world, and still others resisting what they fear.
Why Should I Care?
How many times per week would you say you hear someone refer to "rock and roll" in some form or another? Probably more often than you realize. Let's think about this. Maybe you've been watching "LA Ink" and heard tattooist extraordinaire, Miss Kat Von D express her enthusiastic approval for, well, just about anything by proclaiming, "Rock on, dude!" Maybe your mom says, "that's rockin'" at the most inappropriate moments, like ours do. You may have followed MTV's advice and "turned up the volume on your rock style" by painting your finger and/or toe nails black. Oh, and, did you know that one of the fastest selling ring tones (as of the summer of 2007), is a song called "Party Like a Rock Star" by the Shop Boyz, a hip-hop group that says they've sparked a new "movement" in music called "hood rock"? (T-t-t-totally, dude).
So the next question is, do you like rock and roll? You may be thinking, "Well... it's alright, but I'm really into rap," or, "It's all about country music for me," or "White kids banging their heads isn't really my thing," or, "All that black makeup and big hair scares me," or, "Isn't that, like, really ancient?" We won't call you a "hater," but maybe a tiny bit misinformed? The thing is, you may not realize how much "rock and roll" you actually listen to and like... Seriously. (But we'll come back to that.)
Or maybe you're saying, "Yes, I love rock and roll—I eat, sleep, breathe it. In fact, I AM rock and roll!" Okay, Kat Von D, that's fine, but what do you mean when you say "I love rock and roll"? (And, by the way, contrary to what you might think, Britney Spears was not the first to sing that. But we encourage you to compare her version to the original by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. Comedy. Wait, though, do you know who Joan Jett is? We'll come back to that, too.) But, yeah, what do you really mean when you say that? You, dear rock and roll fan, may not realize how much "rock and roll" you actually don't listen to, music you never really considered "rock."
What exactly is "rock and roll" then, you ask. And how does any of this fit into my day-to-day life? How on earth is Elvis related to Good Charlotte? Punk-rock and Jay Z? No way is there a connection. (Oh, but there is.) Jimi Hendrix and Justin Timberlake? Now you're just reaching. (Well, a little, but the links are still there, we swear.) Which artists and songs fit into this category, and why? Is it just a genre of music, or is it also an attitude? A way of dressing? A way of speaking? Is it something from the past, or something very contemporary? And where exactly did the term "rock and roll" come from?
You might be surprised by the answers to these questions... and, really, the whole story of how rock and roll came to be. (So start reading, already.)

Definition of United Nations in English:
United Nations
The members of the United Nations, originally the countries that fought against the Axis Powers in the Second World War, now number 193 and include most sovereign states of the world. Administration is by a secretariat headed by a secretary general. The chief deliberative body is the General Assembly, in which each member state has one vote; recommendations are passed but are not binding on members and generally have had little effect on world politics. The Security Council bears the primary responsibility for the maintenance of peace and security and may call on members to take action, chiefly peacekeeping action, to enforce its decisions. The UN's headquarters are in New York City
