Mocking Woody Guthrie's Memory
As usual, Dan Gilmor cuts to the chase. Once again this proves that copyright is not about the artists, but only about the large corporate entities that suck down their talents in order to make money and perpetuate their strangleholds on innovation and creation. This is why the Internet is such a threat to them - people like the brothers who created JibJab can bring a work to the masses and totally circumvent their stranglehold.
The late, great Woody Guthrie is surely spinning in his grave today, in fury over what is happening with one of his most memorable songs, "This Land is Your Land."
But Guthrie would not be even slightly unhappy at the use of his immortal tune by the JibJab folks, whose brilliant satire of George Bush and John Kerry has become one of the most popular animations ever to hit the Web or any other medium.
No, Guthrie would be thrilled. He was a folk singer. Like all other folk singers he borrowed from others to create his art. As his son, Arlo, once said:
"We've heard some of the people talk about some of the songs he wrote tonight. And the truth is, he did steal old songs from other places. He took the old gospel songs, he took the old traditional ballads, and he put his words to them like we heard tonight. People still called it stealing. Plagarism, bad words like that, 'til Pete Seeger come along and renamed it the folk process. I think my dad's theory was that if you wanted people to be singing along with you on your new song, it'd be a hell of a start if they already knew the tune. Or even some of words."Woody Guthrie wrote scathingly of people who steal more with fountain pens than guns. He would have loathed the people who abuse copyright so much today, trying to restrict all kinds of fair use, of which parody is an absolutely protected example.
Guthrie wanted credit for what he wrote, but he had contempt for severe legal restrictions on what others might do with it. According to Pete Seeger, in this account (widely acknowledged in the folk world to be true) from the Museum of Musical Instruments, when Guthrie was singing on the radio in Los Angeles during the Depression, he'd mail mimeographed songs to listeners, and wrote on one:
""This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin' it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do."I'll bet, therefore, that Woody would be horrified -- and angered -- by the behavior of an outfit called The Richmond Organization, which controls the copyright to his music. This humor-impaired crew has gone ballistic and has launched legal threats (CNN) at JibJab.
The Richmond Organization is dishonoring Woody Guthrie's memory, not that it seems to care. But it's giving us one more example of how the copyright system has abandoned common sense. [Dan Gillmor's eJournal]

Touch of Music Publishing History
Lawrence Welk decided to go into the music publishing business when, in 1958, his manager, Sam Lutz, suggested he purchase Harry Von Tilzer Music Publishing Co. the owners of "I Want A Girl Just Like The Girl That Married Dear Old Dad," "Bird In A Guilded Cage," "When My Baby Smiles at Me" and many more early 20th Century favorites. Lawrence was sold on the idea when Sam told him that he would receive performance royalties every time he played one of those songs on his show. Once in the business, Lawrence and his board of directors soon realized how valuable owning copyrights could be and set out to acquire other available works whether they were good for the Welk Show or not. Over the next 31 years, that decision led to the purchase of over 100 music publishing companies and over 100,000 copyrights which included a broad array of every conceivable genre of popular music. Estate planning led to the sale of the company in 1989 to PolyGram's publishing division. Lawrence passed away in 1992.

Escondido posts $4.1M surplus after years of deficits
Sales-tax revenue returns to pre-recession levels, expected to continue upward trend
After four years of deficit spending, employee layoffs and budget cuts to cherished programs, Escondido's finances have bounced back in a big way.
Escondido posted a $4.1 million budget surplus during the fiscal year that ended June 30, city officials said. That follows a $514,000 deficit the previous fiscal year, and much larger deficits of $6.9 million and $4.7 million the two prior years.
Mayor Sam Abed said this week that the extra money will allow the reopening of City Hall on Fridays beginning in January, and that the city might also hire more police officers and firefighters.
Abed also said he expects Escondido's revenues, especially sales tax, to continue their upward trend because of new projects. Those include the $55 million remodel of Westfield North County mall — which includes a new three-story Target — and the city's first Walmart scheduled to open in late 2013.
Sales tax revenue, which Escondido relies on more than other cities because of its auto park and regional mall, returned to pre- recession levels this year.
Finance chief Gil Rojas said sales tax was up 10.4 percent during fiscal 2012 to $27.8 million, which accounted for 35 percent of the city's $79 million in overall revenue.
Despite such gains, Abed warned that the city must be cautious about increasing expenses, partly because much of the $4.1 million surplus was not from typical revenue increases. He estimated the actual surplus was closer to $400,000.
Nearly $1.6 million was a one-time payment from the county related to the demise of redevelopment agencies in California last year.
And roughly an additional $2 million were transfers from the city's recycling fund and an account set aside for upgrades at the Daley Ranch recreation area. Council members decided last year to begin including that money in the city's general operating budget.
Most of the surplus was transferred into the city's reserves, increasing that fund to $22.7 million.
But Abed said some money will be spent to reopen City Hall on Fridays, which required negotiating with labor unions representing city workers.
"We aren't going to be a part-time government any more," Abed said. "Our efforts to improve the city have been compromised by being closed on Fridays."
The city began closing every other Friday in May 1993, and has been closed every Friday since early 2009.
Abed said other possible new expenditures would be filling some of the city's 20 vacant police officer positions, and hiring enough firefighters to fully staff all of the city's seven stations.
In addition, the city will spend more than $150,000 opening a computer lab in the former site of the East Valley library branch in January.
While most revenue sources increased during 2012, city fine revenue dropped $254,000, or 13 percent, because fewer red-light camera tickets were issued.
And a plan to sharply reduce the recreation division's subsidy with a combination of program cuts and higher fees has not worked as well as expected, Rojas said.
Recreation revenue was $186,000 less than expected, and expenses were slightly higher than predicted. So the division ran a $454,000 deficit last year, compared to the city's goal of a $253,000 deficit.
In addition, Reidy Creek municipal golf course ran a $53,000 deficit, primarily because the number of rounds played there has steadily dropped from 32,900 three years ago to 29,100 last year.
Councilwoman Marie Waldron said the city should consider lifting its ban against drinking alcohol on the course to encourage more groups to hold tournaments there.
"I think you'd get more people playing there without the ban," she said.


text: Today's Hollywood Reporter points out "rare public evidence" of a looming crisis we first told you about seven months ago: Melrose I, hedge-fund financing that helped pay for a raft of underachieving Paramount films dating back to 2004, saw its investment grade plunge six notches recently in an assessment by Moody's Investor Service. It was bad enough at the time for the money men to threaten Brad Grey with court — and even if the lawsuit never came, the day of reckoning did.The shift guarantees that everyone from senior debtholders at Merrill Lynch to smaller equity backers around Wall Street are locks to lose on the $231 million slate financing deal. As recently as March, the investors were rumored to be considering suing the 'Mount and its free-spending chief Grey after the dramatic underperformance of The Stepford Wives, Alfie and other films partially underwritten by Melrose (the funders signed on during the Sherry Lansing/Jim Dolgen regime but had no say where their money went once they were gone). Viacom CEO Phillippe Dauman himself intervened, we hear, and based on renegotiated terms for Melrose Partners' second round of financing (and Grey's belt-tightening), the mutiny was defused. For now.

Former Sports Writer Turns Marketing 'Guru'
The Visionary Behind National Book Conference
By D. Aileen Dodd Contributing Writer | 7/31/2013, 4:27 p.m.
His social networking led him to the living rooms and dining rooms of book club hosts. Reading excerpts and discussing his book's characters in a personal way helped him to sell "thousands". insight about his characters. Bunn said the outreach helped him to sell "thousands".
Industry experts say there are 100,000 black book clubs in the United States.
"That is a lot of readers," Bunn said. "Even if you have just one book club read your book, that is 10 sales as opposed to one individual person buying it."
All this inspired Bunn to organize a national book club gathering to connect more Black authors with readers on a grander scale. The first National Book Club Conference was held in Atlanta in 2003. The convention, now in its 11th year, continues to attract nationally recognized authors who sign autographs for fans and discuss their work in depth.
Panelists over the years have included such New York Times best-sellers as McMillan, Eric Jerome Dickey, Cornel West, Iyanla Vanzant and American Book Award-winner J. California Cooper.
"Curtis Bunn is a fabulous writer and a wonderful person," said Ella Curry, a Maryland-based marketing specialist who hosts the Internet broadcast, 'The Black Authors Network Radio Talk Show'."
"He has the best literary event in the industry. Every author, no matter whether they are self-published or a household name, needs to be there. If it wasn't for him creating this event, we often would not get to see our megastars."
Bunn said he's regained the feeling that work isn't really work.
Nine months ago, he released his fourth novel, "Homecoming Weekend," which is set on an HBCU campus. His next book "The Truth Is In the Wine" – which portrays a family trip to Napa Valley -- hits the shelves in October..
He has a two-book deal with Simon & Schuster that will keep him busy through 2015.
Rightfully, Bunn has no regrets about leaving his newspaper career behind.
"I am following my dream and fulfilling it," he said.

Definition of unplayable in English:
1Not able to be played or played on: hit a high-bouncing, unplayable chop over second an unplayable golf course
More example sentences
- Nasser Hussain could only edge an unplayable McGrath delivery to Ricky Ponting at second slip, who took a sensational sprawling catch.
- The frame rate in general is pretty solid most of the time, although there are instances, such as when boulders roll in front of you, that the game is darn near unplayable for a few seconds or so.
- While South Africa did bowl extremely well, the manner in which Pakistan capitulated had more to do with indifferent strokes than unplayable deliveries.
1.1(Of music) too difficult or bad to perform.
Example sentences
- Twelve violins, donated by a local music shop, were decorated (most to unplayable extremes… alas) by artists.
- If the action is badly designed, then the instrument can be difficult to play or may even be unplayable.
- Cellists of an earlier generation (if they were at all familiar with Bach's suites) considered these works to be unplayable and musically dull and academic.
- Example sentences
- Oh yeah… and he dies - but not soon enough (whenever we played D&D and rolled characters that were 'unplayably weak,' we ditched 'em and made new ones).
- This year's winner, Wyant, actually trailed two games to NONE, as noted, having served for the game at 9-8 and been caught at 9 when a Chin lob serve bounced literally at the back wall nick and hopped up unplayably glued to the back wall.
- In fact, I've previously found CMR2 very jerky under Win2k, unplayably so on my KT133-based board - that problem was not present on the nForce board at all.

text: Two very different viewing conditions! Ft. Snelling yesterday: The song sparrows barely managed to toss a tune into the blowing snow. There were some tree sparrows and chipping sparrows, but they were too busy foraging along the lakeside to make more than a few stray sounds. Along with the usual expected woodpeckers, there were two flickers along the main driveway near the beach. On the lake, a flock of tree swallows were going through hunting motions. The backwaters were sheltering several pairs of ring-necked ducks, a kingfisher, and one great blue heron, none of them doing much fishing. Only the goldfinches, chickadees and juncos seemed somewhat energetic, but they, too, were relatively quiet. Today at Old Cedar/Bass Ponds, viewing was easier, and the soundtrack richer (not counting the sound of the airport gashawks). Again, there were tree swallows in force. An eagle was visible on the nest across from the boardwalk platform. Just as I raised the binoculars to watch the eagle, a yellow-headed blackbird sailed into my sights, proceeding to circle around behind the platform and land in the cattails on the west side of the boardwalk behind me, vocalizing all the while. Since the path to the bluff trail is very flooded, I headed east. There was a nice cloud of bugs hatched (yes, I'll be eating my "nice" word in a few weeks), and a very lively E. phoebe amidst them. Among the many coots, the mallards, and the Canadas, were a few wooducks and bufflehead, and a good number of ring-necks and scaup. A redtail hawk perched just off the main path for awhile, before resuming her cruise over the shore. On the road down to Bass Ponds there were fox sparrows and brown creepers. The biggest pool hosted 4 great blue herons, and one bluebird was working the road between there and the bluffside marsh. Four goldfinches sporting some spring plumage were bathing in the stream by the footbridge. Over the marsh across the river, a northern harrier was circling low. To the east there were more waterfowl, including four pairs of redhead, though no sign of the hundreds of shovelers seen there a couple of weeks ago. It can only get better from here on!

We have already said that, without a firm belief of all the Articles of the Creed, Christian piety is wholly unattainable. However, should that which ought to be clear in itself seem to require the support of some authority, the declaration of our Lord will suffice. A short time previous to His Ascension into heaven, when opening the understanding of His disciples that they might understand the Scriptures, He bore testimony to this Article of the Creed, in these words: It behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead the third day, and that penance and remission of sins should be preached, in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
2 Let the pastor but weigh well these words, and he will readily perceive that the Lord has placed him under a most sacred obligation, not only of making known to the faithful whatever regards religion in general, but also of explaining with particular care this Article of the Creed.
The Church Has the Power of Forgiving Sins
3 On this point of doctrine, then, it is the duty of the pastor to teach that, not only is forgiveness of sins to be found in the Catholic Church, as Isaias had foretold in these words: The people that dwell therein shall have their iniquity taken away from them; but also that in her resides the power of forgiving sins; and furthermore that we are bound to believe that this power, if exercised duly, and according to the laws prescribed by our Lord, is such as truly to pardon and remit sins.
Extent of this Power:
All Sins that Precede Baptism
4 When we first make a profession of faith and are cleansed in holy Baptism, we receive this pardon entire and unqualified; so that no sin, original or actual, of commission or omission, re mains to be expiated, no punishment to be endured. The grace of Baptism, however, does not give exemption from all the infirmities of nature. On the contrary, contending, as each of us has to contend, against the motions of concupiscence, which ever tempts us to the commission of sin, there is scarcely one to be found among us, who opposes so vigorous a resistance to its assaults, or who guards his salvation so vigilantly, as to escape all wounds.
All Sins Committed after Baptism
5 It being necessary, therefore, that a power of forgiving sins, distinct from that of Baptism, should exist in the Church, to her were entrusted the keys of the kingdom of heaven, by which each one, if penitent, may obtain the remission of his sins, even though he were a sinner to the last day of his life. This truth is vouched for by the most unquestionable authority of the Sacred Scriptures. In St. Matthew the Lord says to Peter: I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed also in heaven; and again: Whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose on earth, shall be loosed also in heaven.' Further, the testimony of St. John assures us that the Lord, breathing on the Apostles, said: Receive ye the Holy Ghost, whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. '
Limitation of this Power:
It Is Not Limited as to Sins, Persons, or Time
6 Nor is the exercise of this power restricted to particular sins. No crime, however heinous, can be committed or even conceived which the Church has not power to forgive, just as there is no sinner, however abandoned, however depraved, who should not confidently hope for pardon, provided he sincerely repent of his past transgressions.
7 Furthermore, the exercise of this power is not restricted to particular times. Whenever the sinner turns from his evil ways he is not to be rejected, as we learn from the reply of our Saviour to the Prince of the Apostles. When St. Peter asked how often we should pardon an offending brother, whether seven times, Not only seven times, said the Redeemer, but till seventy times seven.
It Is Limited as to Its Ministers and Exercise
8 But if we look to its ministers, or to the manner in which it is to be exercised, the extent of this divine power will not appear so great; for our Lord gave not the power of so sacred a ministry to all, but to Bishops and priests only. The same must be said regarding the manner in which this power is to be exercised; for sins can be forgiven only through the Sacraments, when duly administered. The Church has received no power otherwise to remit sin. Hence it follows that in the forgiveness of sins both priests and Sacraments are, so to speak, the instruments which Christ our Lord, the author and giver of salvation, makes use of, to accomplish in us the pardon of sin and the grace of justification.
Greatness of this Power
9 To raise the admiration of the faithful for this heavenly gift, bestowed on the Church by God's singular mercy towards us, and to make them approach its use with the more lively sentiments of devotion the pastor should endeavour to point out the dignity and the extent of the grace which it imparts. If there be any one means better calculated than another to accomplish this end, it is carefully to show how great must be the efficacy of that which absolves from sin and restores the unjust to a state of justification.
Sin Can Be Forgiven Only by the Power of God
10 This is manifestly an effect of the infinite power of God, of that same power which we believe to have been necessary to raise the dead to life and to summon creation into existence. But if it be true, as the authority of St. Augustine assures us it is, that to recall a sinner from the state of sin to that of righteousness is even a greater work than to create the heavens and the earth from nothing, though their creation can be no other than the effect of infinite power, it follows that we have still stronger reason to consider the remission of sins as an effect proceeding from the exercise of this same infinite power.
11 With great truth, therefore, have the ancient Fathers declared that God alone can forgive sins, and that to His infinite goodness and power alone is so wonderful a work to be referred. I am he, says the Lord Himself, by the mouth of His Prophet, I am he who blotteth out your iniquities.
12 The remission of sins seems to bear an exact analogy to the cancelling of a pecuniary debt. None but the creditor can forgive a pecuniary debt. Hence, since by sin we contract a debt to God alone—wherefore we daily pray: forgive us our debts sin, it is clear, can be forgiven by Him alone, and by none else.
This Power Communicated to None before Christ
13 This wonderful and divine power was never communicated to creatures, until God became man. Christ our Saviour, although true God, was the first one who, as man, received this high prerogative from His heavenly Father. That you may know that the son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins (then said he to the man sick of the palsy), rise. take up thy bed, and go into thy house. As, therefore, He became man, in order to bestow on man this forgiveness of sins, He communicated this power to Bishops and priests in the Church, previous to His Ascension into heaven, where He sits forever at the right hand of God. Christ, however, as we have already said, remits sin by virtue of His own authority; all others, by virtue of His authority delegated to them as His ministers.
14 If, therefore, whatever is the effect of infinite power claims our highest admiration and reverence, we must readily perceive that this gift, bestowed on the Church by the bounteous hand of Christ our Lord, is one of inestimable value.
Sin Remitted through the Blood Of Christ
15 The manner too, in which God, in the fullness of His paternal clemency resolved to cancel the sins of the world must powerfully move the faithful to contemplate the greatness of this blessing. It was His will that our offences should be expiated by the blood of His Onlybegotten Son; that His Son should voluntarily assume the imputability of our sins, and suffer a most cruel death, the just for the unjust, the innocent for the guilty.
16 When, therefore, we reflect that we were not redeemed with corruptible things, as gold or silver, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled, we are naturally led to conclude that we could have received no gift more salutary than this power of forgiving sins, which proclaims the ineffable Providence of God and the excess of His love towards us. This reflection must produce in all the most abundant spiritual fruit.
The Great Evil from which Forgiveness Delivers Man
17 For whoever offends God, even by one mortal sin, instantly forfeits whatever merits he may have previously acquired through the sufferings and death of Christ, and is entirely shut out from the gate of heaven which, when already closed, was thrown open to all by the Redeemer's Passion. When we reflect on this, the thought of our misery must fill us with deep anxiety. But if we turn our attention to this admirable power with which God has invested His Church; and, in the firm belief of this Article, feel convinced that to every sinner is offered the means of recovering, with the assistance of divine grace, his former dignity, we must exult with exceeding joy and gladness, and must offer immortal thanks to God.
18 If, when we are seriously ill, the medicines prepared for us by the art and industry of the physician are wont to be welcome and agreeable to us, how much more welcome and agreeable should those remedies prove which the wisdom of God has established to heal our souls and restore us to the life of grace, especially since they bring with them, not, indeed, uncertain hope of recovery, like the medicines that are applied to the body, but assured health to such as desire to be cured !
This Remedy to be Used
19 The faithful, therefore, having formed a just conception of the dignity of so excellent and exalted a blessing, should be exhorted to profit by it to the best of their ability. For he who makes no use of what is really useful and necessary must be supposed to despise it; particularly since, in communicating to the Church the power of forgiving sin, the Lord did so with the view that all should have recourse to this healing remedy. As without Baptism no one can be cleansed, so in order to recover the grace of Baptism, forfeited by actual mortal guilt, recourse must be had to another means of expiation,—namely, the Sacrament of Penance.
Abuse to be Guarded Against
20 But here the faithful are to be admonished to guard against the danger of becoming more prone to sin, or slow to repentance, from a presumption that they can have recourse to this power of forgiving sins which is so complete and, as we saw, unrestricted as to time. For, as such a propensity to sin would manifestly convict them of acting injuriously and contumaciously to this divine power, and would therefore render them unworthy of the divine mercy; so this slowness to repentance gives great reason to fear that, overtaken by death, they may in vain confess their belief in the remission of sins, which by their tardiness and procrastination they deservedly forfeited.

Earlier this week I posted my list of the Top 10 Female Cops on TV, and the response was so overwhelming that I decided I better hurry up and post my list of Top 10 Female Doctors on TV before all the Scully fans mutiny. So here's my take on TV's best / sexiest / most interesting female physicians.
Note to Bones fans: forensic anthropologists are not medical doctors – I checked! – so I left Bones off this list, but she and the women of C.S.I. will definitely be included on our list of Top Female Scientists in the future.
10. Liz Cruz, Nip/Tuck (Roma Maffia)
The lesbian anesthesiologist on the controversial plastic surgery drama has been saddled with less than stellar storylines (a stolen kidney? really?), but Liz is a woman who speaks her mind and isn't afraid to kick her controlling girlfriend to the curb.
9. Regina Barnes, Out of Practice (Paula Marshall)
This sarcastic, hard-working lesbian ER doc on the short-lived 2004-2005 comedy competed with her brothers for women and fended off her mother's attempts to make her more feminine, all while delivering some excellent one-liners. Who says lesbians can't be funny?
8. Abby Lockhart, ER (Maura Tierney)
One of ER's longest-running characters, Abby studied to become a doctor after years of taking crap from them as a nurse, and in the process became the heart of the series.
7. Maggie Doyle, ER (Jorja Fox)
ER's first openly gay doctor, Doyle was a hit with lesbian viewers during her two-and-half-season stint on the popular NBC drama during the mid-'90s. She didn't get much screen time and had no personal life to speak of, but she was played by Jorja Fox, so pretty much all she had to do was show up.
6. Kathryn Austin, Chicago Hope (Christine Lahti)
Lahti joined the CBS medical drama in the mid-'90s playing what wikipedia describes as "a talented cardiac surgeon with a feminist chip on her shoulder". They say that like that's a bad thing!
Click below to read my top 5…
5. Kerry Weaver, ER (Laura Innes)
Yes, ER's longest-running lesbian character has been unlikable at times, and the writers have ignored or exploited her personal life as it suits them. But Weaver is tough, tenadious, and endearing when she's allowed to be, and her first two relationships were some of the better lesbian ones we've seen on network TV.
4. Jordan Cavanaugh, Crossing Jordan (Jill Hennessy)
Hennessy's Jordan is a crime-solving medical examiner with trust issues. And we love her!
3. Neela Rasgotra, ER (Parminder Nagra)
Neela is smart, relatable, and sexy without trying to be, and Nagra starred in Bend It Like Beckham. Need I say more?
2. Dana Scully, The X-Files (Gillian Anderson)
The deadpan voice of reason on the popular '90s paranormal FBI mystery series, Scully countered the stereotype of the hysterical woman, even when she was abducted by aliens – and she managed to make talking on a cell phone look sexy.
1. The Women of Grey's Anatomy
ABC's popular medical drama has more smart, interesting, and sexy women than I can possibly choose from, including Addison Shepherd (Kate Walsh), Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez), Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), and Izzie (Katherine Heigl) (there's some chick named Meredith who whines a lot, too). Sure, the soap opera-like antics of the women's personal lives often overshadow the actual practicing of medicine, but…oh, who am I kidding, their soap opera-like antics are the best part! Now if only Addison or Cristina would come out. And hook up. With each other.
Who are your favorite TV docs? Let us know in the comments!

Olivia Pruitt
Longwood Senior interns for Chatham newspaper
Longwood University senior Olivia Pruitt spent her final collegiate winter break in a valuable internship with her hometown newspaper, the Chatham Star-Tribune.
For four weeks, Pruitt got a taste of the fast-paced atmosphere of a professional newsroom. "I started out shadowing the editor-in-chief, Tim Davis," said Pruitt. Then I did some editing for him so he could see my abilities, and that helped because editing can improve your own writing."
Pruitt pitched numerous story ideas and wrote four articles for the newspaper, including one that featured her former high school's robotics team. Landing a byline in the newspaper got her excited about a potential career in journalism, she said.
Pruitt originally came to Longwood to major in Spanish but had developed an interest in journalism as editor of her high school newspaper. After her first semester, Pruitt changed her major to English. "When I came to Longwood I was a bit uncertain, but the experience I had at the newspaper showed me that I really like journalism," she said.
"Olivia is the kind of person who can do anything she wants to," said Dr. Derek Taylor, professor of English, who is Pruitt's adviser. "Then she tried something new, and the things that she's learning here at Longwood enabled her to succeed in this real-world venue. It epitomizes what I want students to get out of an internship."

About thirty minutes from my hometown of Reno, Nv. lies Virginia City. For the last umpteen years, in September, the town celebrates 'Camel Racing Days!' It is a riotous weekend of fun and serious camel racing. So too, is 'Karawane'!
'Karawane' has a colorful, slightly cartoonish, gameboard, great camel pieces, and a unique three piece water jug that holds your bidding chits for the three rounds of racing. Players secretly bid 'x' number of chits, simultaneously, and move their camel forward so many spaces, depending on where they ranked in the bidding. The object is to collect the most silk bundles, awarded on the 'camel trail' and at the end of each race.
Fun, easy to teach, and straightforward play makes 'Karawane' a very likable family or party game. Play is quick and the skill involved around the game is knowing when to hang back in the bidding process, and when to press forward. Due to the small size of the bidding chits (little water jugs), you do need to keep an eye on them with younger players. Included in the game is a tournament version which offers a few more decision variables, if the basic game is just too simple for you.
Don't let too much sand get in your shoes!

1st Fleet Driven into Administration
Australian trucking company 1st Fleet has hit a severe road bump, as administrators deVries Tayeh were appointed late Wednesday.
deVries Tayeh partner Riad Tayeh told Deal Journal Australia the privately-owned firm was placed into administration due to cash flow issues stemming from tight margins in the transport sector which is battling high fuel and labor costs.
"We're looking at all options and aim to minimize the disruption for employees and creditors," Mr. Tayeh said. "We ask that creditors be patient and work with us so we can get an outcome."
1st Fleet operates more than 1,000 vehicles across Australia which deliver freight and provide wharf container transport, among other things.
The company has around 1,350 employees according to Capital IQ.
deVries Tayeh handled the administration of Johnson Property Group, Wellbeing Group, Black Stump Restaurants and Logic Transportation.

I'd love to see the sights and hear about the member's hometowns. Please post pics and anything else about where you live.
I'm from Vancouver, BC, Canada and one of my favorite activities is hiking on the nearby mountains.
First off, here's a picture of Downtown Vancouver:
Actually, I live in a suburb just outside of Vancouver called Port Coquitlam. Below is downtown Port Coquitlam, or Poco for short.
Here's a couple of shots taken on Mt Seymour, near Vancouver.
Left: The De Pencier Bluffs, shrouded in clouds.
Right: Mystery Lake.
So anyways, there's a little about where I'm from, and I'm looking forward to seeing and reading about where the rest of you are from.

Cool Idea!
I live in Berlin in the District Spandau. I think you all have heard about Berlin because of very sad History things and such stuff.
Facts you maybe dont know:
Berlin is a VERY Big City in its expansion because in the most places you cant build high Buildings because the Underground is very Sandy.
Berlin is surrounded by large forests.
The City Berlin we all know today exists cause of a Fusion of the Citys Berlin-C�lln, K�penick and Spandow (Today Spandau)
The District Spandau is still pretty much like a own City because the Havel is between Spandau and the Rest of Berlin and the District has also a very strong own History. (Spandau was founded ~1157 and Berlin around 1237)
We love our Currywurst. WURST all the Day. (Wurst was nominated as one of the most German Words they're totally right)
Our Mayor is Gay - and we dont like him because he prefers to go to parties instead of doing his Work.

Thanks for sharing your hometown of Berlin!

It looks like a beautiful place, somewhere I'd love to visit in the future.

Hey, I live in London, England which will be hosting the 2012 Olympics this year!

And of course Buckingham Palace, where the Queen herself lives.

So, after 14 years, my doggie died last November (Thanksgiving weekend! With a house full of guests! Woo!). After 14 years of having a little animal in my home, it has been quite an adjustment to live without him. I still (still!) look for him when I walk into the house after being away. And every time it gives me a little pang of sadness.
Dave never did like our dog much. When he looked at him all he saw were vet bills, unneccessary fur, and land mines of poo in the backyard. He had a point about the fur. Parker shed like it was his job.
So when it came time to start thinking about a new dog, I had some serious parameters. First and foremost: Dave has to like him. No point in having an animal under our roof if one of us despises it. In addition, I've determined that I cannot have another dog that sheds. The fur on everything just about kills me.
After doing tons of research, we determined that a "Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier" is something that might appeal to us. And it just so happens that our friends own a rescued Wheaten and they were kind enough to let us borrow him for the day. It was like a doggie test drive!
And gosh, he was great. Everyone loved him, even Dave. We returned Rumble (a dog named Rumble! Cute!) to his owners this evening and all of us agreed that he was the perfect dog.
So that settles it, right? We'll rescue a Wheaten and live happily ever after!
Well, except that I came home and immediately vacuumed, and then mopped every inch of my floors. What I realized today while Rumble was here is: Dogs? Are kind of disgusting. I suppose after 14 years you get used to them, but now that I've lived without one for a few months I've gotten used to clean floors! Dogs walk around in all kinds of ick and then track it into the house, ya'll. And their fur is like a swiffer picking up all sorts of debris and dragging it inside. Leaves, sticks, BUGS. And don't even get me started on the licking-of-parts. Ew. And then there's the water bowl slobber trail.
Having a dog makes me a manic house cleaner. And since Parker died I've slacked off. I only vacuum occasionally now (I had to vacuum every day with Parker or the dust bunnies morphed into dust PONIES).
I suppose I could let this dogs-are-filthy epiphany dissuade me from owning another animal, but anyone who has ever loved a dog will understand when I simply justify things by telling myself that a dog will make me a better housekeeper!
Because not having a dog is not an option. Duh.

- Conference date: 19-22 April 2004
- Location: Santa Fe, New Mexico (USA)
Effects of suprathermal ("hot") electrons on the predictions of K‐ and L‐shell non‐LTE collisional‐radiative atomic kinetics models are presented through an investigation of various electron distribution functions (EDFs) on collisional rates and spectra. It is shown that while most collisional rates are fairly insensitive to the functional form and characteristic energy of the hot electrons as long as their characteristic energy is larger than the threshold energy for the collisional process, collisional excitation and ionization rates are highly sensitive to the fraction of hot electrons. This permits the development of robust spectroscopic diagnostics that can be used to detect the presence of hot electrons from x‐ray line emission spectra. Hot electrons are shown to increase and spread out plasma charge state distributions, amplify the intensities of emission lines fed by direct collisional excitation and radiative cascades, and alter the structure of satellite and EUV line emission features. The characteristic energy, functional form, and spatial properties of hot electron distributions in plasmas are open to characterization through their effects on high‐energy continuum emission and on the polarization of spectral lines.

The Haunted Palace
by Edgar Allan Poe
The Haunted Palace Sadness Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #4
Of the old time entombed. (40)
This is another strong death image. We've already been told to "mourn" for the king, and now we're told that the past ("old time") has been entombed—laid away like a dead body in the ground. The happiness we felt and saw in the opening stanza is dead and gone, just a distant memory.
Quote #5
And laugh—but smile no more. (48)
The spirits of the palace still make the sounds that are supposed to go along with happiness. They still laugh, but all the joy is gone, and the simple, genuine smile of happiness is long gone. The fact that the poem ends with this image helps us to see how important the loss of happiness is in "The Haunted Palace."

As he prepares for this interview at his office in Mandi Mullanpur in Ludhiana district, JP Singh seems like another broker bitten by the new commodities trading bug. Constant buzzing of his several mobile phones makes it difficult for him to concentrate. But the 41-year-old doesn't turn bitter any moment.
This is the magic of dealing in mint oil! Singh's company, Punjab Agri Products, trades in 75% of the mint oil produced in the state, with his tie-up with 80 mint oil extraction units — there are 90 mint oil extraction units in Punjab. What's more, he's expecting mint acreage to increase by a quarter this year.

ICF International
Categorized Under: Climate, Environment, Transportation
ICF supported the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in preparing the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the 2012–2016 new rulemaking setting mile-per-gallon standards and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) greenhouse gas emissions requirement for passenger cars and light trucks.
This project built on ICF's work completed in 2008 to prepare the EIS supporting an earlier version of the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) rulemaking for 2011–2015 model year cars and trucks. The new rulemaking was conducted jointly with EPA per President Obama's May 2009 announcement proposing a National Fuel Efficiency Policy aimed at both increasing fuel economy and reducing greenhouse gas pollution for all new cars and trucks sold in the United States. The EIS included a groundbreaking analysis of the climate change consequences of the proposed action, including modeling the incremental effect of the proposed action on climate change-related factors such as global mean temperature increase, changes in precipitation patterns, and sea level rise.

There are more than 7,900 teachers educating about 169,000 students in this area, according to the county Office of Education. "To recognize their efforts and bring much-deserved honor to the teaching profession," participating school districts recently named their Teacher of the Year representatives.
From East County -- ranging from Pittsburg to Byron -- seven instructors were honored. They are Erin Clark, Lloyd Cornwell, Lois Laza, Melanie Long, Shannon Morton, Jeanne Turner and Miranda Viechec-Lingbaoan.
Erin Clark, Sutter Elementary, Antioch, first grade:
"This is a moment in my career that I will cherish. I couldn't be more ecstatic and grateful," Clark said.
A teacher for 15 years, Clark said she loves giving her students the gift of reading. "There is no better feeling for me than having a child read a book and proclaim out loud, 'I am a reader!' I feel so fortunate to be in a position where I can impact a child's life in such a profound way."
One of her most poignant career memories involved her effort with a second-language learner who needed intense reading intervention.
"Through hard work and confidence building, (he) finally broke through and read a book he had been practicing. ... It brought tears to my eyes. I will never forget the pride and delight on his face.
"That's when I realized the impact good teaching and hard work has on the lives of students. I am so glad it happened to me so early in my career that I can celebrate it even now when this moment happens over and over again."
Paula McEvoy, principal, said, "Erin's talents as a teacher are most obviously seen in the faces of her students. The amount of rigor, the relevance she creates for them with real-life interactions, and the relationships she has developed over the years are augmented by her kindness and hard work. Erin is a gem among stars and sets the standard for education."
Lloyd Cornwell, Liberty High, Brentwood, 9th- through 12th-grades, art:
"I am greatly appreciative of this distinction. ... It also made me realize that my work does get noticed beyond the four walls of a classroom."
Cornwell said he enjoys student reaction "to new concepts that they are learning ... The best part is when (the students) express where they saw something that they learned from a movie, actual monument in San Francisco and so on."
A teacher for more than 17 years, Cornwell said a favorite moment is his Paris trip with a group of students. "As we were literally running through the Louvre, one of my art history students stopped and said: 'I have to stop and absorb this painting because it was my favorite that we studied in class.' It was Gericault's Raft of the Medusa, which is a 24-foot wide painting depicting a horrific historical event about a ship wreck and the survival of these people. We stayed for 10 minutes; the expression of admiration on his face (was) one of the most rewarding experiences."
Said principal Patrick Walsh: "(This) outstanding teacher is capable of inspiring all types of students. He is an amazing yearbook adviser, guiding students each year to produce award-winning yearbooks that touch the lives of all of our students. He's a forward-thinking educator; a dedicated professional in every sense of the word."
Lois Laza, Knightsen Elementary, 4th- through 6th-grades, science and algebra:
"It's quite an honor to have your colleagues recognize you for your dedication and achievements," Laza said, adding that she enjoys working with children, "expanding their knowledge and helping them along the way to becoming responsible, contributing adults."
During her 10 years at this school, she is "always moved when a struggling student makes huge strides. It is a goal of mine to teach them required content as well as strategies for studying and retaining the material."
She just recently had such a moment when a student who had never passed one of her science tests earned an A on a test. "He actually was so moved by his achievement that happy tears streamed down his face, and the entire class started applauding him. Those are the moments that keep me in this profession."
Principal Theresa Estrada said, "Students love her. She definitely deserves this. She's gotten the kids involved in science and done a lot to promote math."
Melanie Long, Delta Vista Middle, Oakley, 6th-grade language arts and social studies:
"I'm still shocked about winning this honor for my district. There were so many phenomenal teachers from Oakley, ... I had never in a million years expected to be selected," Long said.
With nine years at Delta Vista, she said "hands down, the best thing about teaching is getting to walk on the school campus each day. I simply thrive on the educational setting: the people, the learning, the possibilities and the community."
One of her favorite memories? "A particularly rambunctious group of three boys shared with me a prank they pulled on their parents. I didn't believe (their story), and finally accepted their challenge to repeat the experiment on me. A few weeks later, as promised, they brought in the pristine glass jar. In front of the whole class, I opened the jar and immediately gagged. The class erupted in laughter and these boys had sweet victory. That day, I learned ... laughter belongs in a classroom, challenge your students and let them challenge you, and never be ashamed to admit you were wrong."
Greg Hetric, principal, said, "(She) has transformed her teaching style and the strategies to best meet the needs of her students. She has a style and approach to her delivery that daily gets the best out of her students academically, as well as behaviorally. ... She has raised the bar, leads by example and is a true team player."
Shannon Morton, Brentwood Elementary, second grade:
"(This) is a true honor. ... I am always amazed by the exceptional teaching that goes on at Brentwood School. My own children have benefited."
In her 11th year at this school, she said her favorite aspect of teaching is "watching my students reach their goals -- big and small. ... As I get to know the children and their families, we make connections, have fun through learning and create relationships that sometimes last well beyond second grade.
"Children are such a true gift in life. Their exuberance and wonder are exhilarating."
She said one of her best memories is the Kindness Project, a unit where second-graders read stories about kindness, wrote about it and found examples of kindness.
Morton shared that project's idea and incorporated it into the district's anti-bullying campaign, along with morphing it into an annual activity for Kids Against Hunger, a national nonprofit organization.
"Shannon is the 'triple threat' of education (great teacher, great colleague and great leader)," said Guy Rohlfs, principal. "She is truly about students first, in her words and her actions. She makes (our school) a better place to be. We are extremely fortunate to have her."
Jeanne Turner, Excelsior Middle School, Byron, sixth-grade language arts and history:
"I am humbled to be considered one of the top teachers. ... I feel I learn from all of my co-workers daily," she said.
She said she loves teaching and that the best part is "sharing my passion for learning with my students. I love sharing new perceptions and ideas with students, who are just discovering how big the world really is."
One of her favorite school memories is when a student told her: 'You know, Mrs. Turner, I'm not a reader but I really liked that book we read. I think I'm going to read the sequel. Don't tell anyone, OK?'
"Hooking 11- and 12-year-olds on reading can be a daunting task, but the satisfaction is phenomenal."
Kelly Basmagian, principal, said that Turner "is one of the first to arrive and one of the last to leave. One of the attributes I love is how she advocates for all students to be well-rounded. She emphasizes the importance of incorporating visual and performing arts, art class and music into the student's school day. I am amazed how these programs have positively impacted students, school culture and climate.
"What impresses me most is the way she establishes meaningful relationships with her students. She learns about their interests and experiences outside of school, and then infuses that information into her lessons."
Miranda Viechec-Lingbaoan, Heights Elementary, Pittsburg, fourth grade:
"I feel very honored to have been chosen ... It is refreshing to know my colleagues and district staff see the many positives present in the profession."
Her favorite aspect of teaching is exposing students to the "wonders of the world, introducing them to information and new concepts. I love seeing the fascination and wonder in their eyes and their yearning for knowledge."
In her five years, a memory that lives on is about a then-new student whose parents were divorcing. "She was having a very difficult time ... and had a mind set to be defiant. I (asked) her to read in class. 'No, I hate reading. No one can make me like reading,' she responded. I worked to establish a rapport; we read a lot and took frequent (library) trips. One day she walked into class very ecstatic, ranting about a book. ... I said: 'This from the girl who hates reading.' She got the biggest smile. ... She and I knew the journey we had taken, and I knew I had made a difference in her life."
Principal Karen Clark said Viechec-Lingbaoan's class instruction is often used as a model for others. ... She tutors 4th- and 5th-grade students after school three days a week in an effort to boost our below-basic students. She is always willing to help where needed and is a fabulous asset to Heights."
Later this month, the county Office of Education will announce the Teacher of the Year finalists. For more information about this, call 925-942-3429 or visit www.cocoschools.org.

Member of Parliament for Beverley and Holderness, Graham Stuart has joined MPs from around the Humber Region in a Parliamentary debate on the Humber Flood Risk Management Strategy.
During the debate Mr Stuart pressed the Minister to ensure that the banks at Kilnsea and Welwick are reinstated and reinforced after they were damaged during the storm surge in December 2013.
Next week the cross-party group of MPs, including Mr Stuart, will be taking their campaign straight to the heart of Government when they meet the Prime Minister to highlight the strategic importance of the Humber Estuary and urge him for greater investment to protect homes and businesses from flooding.
Speaking during the debate Mr Stuart, who is also leading the River Hull Advisory Board, said: "Last Wednesday was the anniversary of the 2007 floods.
They devastated Hull and the East Riding, led to Hornsea in my constituency being cut off, and led to flooding in every area of my constituency and in Hull, with many people being driven out of their homes—not just for months, but in some cases for years. Flooding is personally devastating, and that will always be at the forefront of my mind when I consider this issue.
"With rising sea levels and the risks of climate change, we need a strategic overview by Government of the risks around flooding. Without that, we are putting our constituents at risk of devastating flooding of their homes, and we are also risking investment in and commercial success for this country."
