A successful voluntary hemoglobinopathy screening program should have as its goals effective, accurate counseling, preventive medicine, and education. Techniques that detect only the presence of hemoglobin S would not allow these goals to be fulfilled.
The Center for Disease Control is currently offering training courses in laboratory methods of hemoglobinopathy detection for anyone involved in hemoglobinopathy screening. These courses, which are free, stress cellulose acetate electrophoresis as the initial screening test. Besides being inexpensive, the test is easy to perform, allows differentiation of sickle cell disease (eg, SS, SC) from the relatively benign carrier state, and detects other common hemoglobin abnormalities so that effective counseling is possible. The solubility (dithionite) test is used to confirm the presence of a sickling hemoglobin.

This picture does not do this chandelier justice it is much larger than expected but it is very beautiful, but the screws provided were not long enough to screw into the ceiling so I had to use other screws.
We have this chandelier over the dining room table and it really puts out loads of light! We have it on a dimmer but even so it is more than ample light! Great quality for the money!
This dramatic chandelier makes a bold statement in my entry way. I waited 5 years to find the right fixture at a reasonable cost and I couldn't be happier with my choice. It is lightweight and easy to hang, but solid in construction and design. The only drawback might be cleaning the silk shades over time.
This fixture is beautiful, especially with a dimmer. I have it in our great room hanging from a cathedral ceiling and it truly compliments and adds flair to the entire room. There is a subtle pattern in the shade that does not show up on the picture and it makes the shades look even more rich.
One note: Make sure you have a BIG room for this fixture-it would overwhelm a small room.
The Kimono chandalier brought the too high ceiling down and added a warm glowing focal point to my kitchen eating area.
We use the fixture as showromm lighting
This product gives great light and a soft appearance. I use this in the sitting area of my bedroom for that added touch of elegance.
We received this product in good condition at the promised delivery date.
this lamp is beautiful, very stylish, very pleased with the service of this store, and a good bargain.

Cubs Acquire Henry Rodriguez from Nats
The Cubs have acquired 26-year old Venezuelan flame-throwing RHRP Henry Rodriguez from the Washington Nationals for minor league RHP Ian Dickson.
Dickson was the Cubs 35th round draft pick out of Lafayette College in 2011, and was used as both a starter and a reliever at Kane County this season, posting an ugly 6.88 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 35.1 IP and 11 Games (3 GS). He was a candidate to get demoted to Boise (and probably released post-2013) if he hadn't been traded.
Rodriguez was Designated for Assignment by the Nats on June 4th to make room on their 40-man roster for LHP Ian Kroll, so they had until Friday (6/14) to either trade him, release him, or send him outright to the minors. However, because it takes two days to get a player through waivers, Washington really only had until 2 PM (EDT) Wednesday (today) to trade him. (He was NOT placed on waivers, otherwise he could not have been traded).
Despite the 102+ MPH fastball, Rodriguez has struggled big-time with control this season (16 BB in 18 IP, and a career 98 BB in 144.2 IP), and that's probably why the Nationals lost their patience with him.
Rodriguez is out of minor league options, and he will be (first time) eligible for salary arbitration post-2013. NOTE: Darwin Barney, Cody Ransom, James Russell, Jeff Samardzija, Nate Schierholtz, Luis Valbuena, and Travis Wood are the other players presently on the Cubs 40-man roster who will be arbitration-eligible post-2013 (and Julio Borbon will probably be eligible for salary arbitration as a "Super Two").
The Cubs will need to drop a player from the 25-man roster when Rodriguez reports, and that will probably just be a matter of placing RHP Zach Putnam (sore elbow) on the 15-day DL.
RHP Eduardo Sanchez (who was Designated for Assignment to make room on the Cubs MLB 40-man roster for H. Rodriguez) does NOT have the right to elect free-agency if outrighted (he has not been outrighterd previously in his career, he has not accrued three years of MLB Service Time, and he was not a "Super Two" player post-2012). However, if he is outrighted he would automatically become an MLB Rule 55 minor league FA (so-called "six-year minor league free-agent") at 5 PM on the 5th day following the conclusion of the 2013 World Series, unless he agrees to a 2014 minor league successor contract prior to the deadline, or is added back to an MLB 40-man roster prior to the conclusion of the 2013 MLB regular season.
C-1B-3B Steve Clevenger (strained oblique) is eligible to be reintstated from the Cubs 60-day DL tomorrow (Thursday 6/13), and as much as Manager Dale Sveum likes the flexibility provided by having a 3rd catcher on the roster, it does not look like there will be room for Clevenger on the 25-man roster at this time. So look for the Cubs to reinstate Clevenger from the DL and then option him to Iowa. (He will get recalled if anything happens to Welington Castillo or Dioner Navarro, or whenever Navarro gets traded), Another player will need to be removed from the 40-man roster when Clevenger is reinstated, and that could very well be (that man) Putnam again, who could be transferred to the 60-day DL after spending one day on the 15-day DL.
MLB Article XX-B free-agents signed to Major League contracts after last season received automatic "no trade" rights through June 15th, so therefore Scott Baker, Shawn Camp, Scott Feldman, Edwin Jackson, Carlos Villanueva, Dioner Navarro, and Scott Hairston can be traded without having to give their permission beginning this coming Sunday. NOTE: Carlos Marmol and Alfonso Soriano also have "no trade" rights, but their "no trade" rights are contractural (Marmol through the 2013 season, and Soriano through 2014).
AZ Phil - The Cubs took in
AZ Phil - The Cubs took in quite a bit of cash when they sold the rights/contracts of Micah Hoffpauir, Bobby Scales, and Bryan LaHair (with their approval) to teams in Japan. Can the Cubs sell Ian Stewart to a team in Japan without his okay or would he need to approve the deal? I think I already know the answer here. But the movie Mr. Baseball sticks in my head. And as we all know evrything that happens in movies is true.

"A lot of his errors have been extreme plays at the end of his range or weird things on rundowns or trying to do too much," Epstein said. "He needs to polish that up. We actually feel better at this moment about his ability to play shortstop every day in the big leagues than we did on Opening Day because of the way he's playing shortstop. He needs to clean it up but I have no doubt he can play shortstop at the big league level."

Rizzo is struggling again (5
Rizzo is struggling again (5 for 32 in June), but I'm not as concerned about him as I am Castro.
I am beginning to question if Sveum is the right guy for this team right now. I know Sveum can't make these guys hit, but your two top core guys are looking really bad lately, and are clearly not on an upward trend. The Cubs have invested a ton of money on their success, and it's not happening.
And I know we don't expect much out of Barney hitting-wise, but a .281 OBP from a non-OPS second baseman isn't acceptable for a major league team.
Castillo should also be a better hitter than he is. He shows flashes, but ...
If a manager is supposed to get the best out of your players, either TheoCorp is doing a really lousy job of getting good players, or Sveum is doing a lousy job of getting the best out of these kids.
The TheoCorp regime is going to be measured by how well guys like Castro and Rizzo do. These guys are in their formative years in terms of development at the mlb level and right now Sveum is lording over some seriously bad numbers.
I was thinking the same -- it
I was thinking the same -- it will be a tough mid-year performance review meeting for Dale.
Theo: "OK Dale, we agreed that your top prioriy this year was to develop the kids, who will be part of our future core -- and, of course, we hired you because you are a good hitting coach. Let's talk about the progress Castro, Rizzo, Castillo and Barney have made this year."
Dale: "Each has regressed significantly since last year. Castillo is the only one hitting over .250, and he has all of 11 RBI. Castro and Castillo openly reject the concept of OBP. Barney is god-awful; this could be his last year as a professional baseball player. Rizzo has hit one HR since May 6. On the plus side, Travis Wood is really clobbering the ball."
Theo: "uh, Dale?"
Dale: "Yeah?"
Theo: "Get the hell out of my office."
My first thought is that Theo
My first thought is that Theo is probably smart enough not to put much stock in a mid-year review, because he knows that 60 games or so is not enough of a sample size to gauge performance.
Rizzo's BABIP is 40 points below where it was last year, and his OPS is still comparable (.778 vs .805) and he has 100 fewer at-bats at this point, and he has been admittedly slumping the last few weeks. I would expect a natural rebound over the remaining 3.5 months, and he will end up having a nice season for his first full big league campaign at age 23.
Castillo's BA is about the same as last year, but his walks are way down and he has hit fewer home runs (though the same number of doubles). But we only have 194 PAs from this year to compare to 190 PAs from last year at this point. But he's a career .265 minor league hitter and a career .258 major league hitter, and hitting .256 this year. So I would guess his power will bounce back a bit and he will draw a few more walks as the season continues and that OPS will creep up by the end. And if he plays good defense and has an OPS close to 700 or so during his first full big league season at age 26 then I think everyone will be happy.
I think the main thing with those two guys is to see them get 150 games under their belts and not see any major regressions.
Over the last month (since May 14th) Barney's OPS is .645 and his career OPS is .647, last year it was .653. He just really struggled the first 25 days or so after coming off the DL. Does his defense makeup for the fact that his OPS is about 75-100 points worse than most starting second basemen? I don't know. But he's almost 28 and has nearly 1500 PAs. He is what he is I think, and expecting Dale or anyone else to improve him is probably unrealistic.
Castro is really scuffling, there is no denying that. But from comments from the Cubs brass it sounds like they think its growing pains as he works on parts of his game at the plate, and are hoping he will come out of this slump a better hitter for it. But we won't know that until the end of the season or even next year.
On the plus side, Valbuena's OPS is .760, which is 110 points higher than last year. I don't know if he can keep it up, but he sees a lot of pitches per at bat and walks a lot.
if the kids understand their
if the kids understand their roles...are putting their work in...aren't pissy towards outlook/organization...dale is doing his job, imo.
you can't really look at production and tie it to the manager unless it's being dragged down by "headcase issues" aggravated by the issues above.
if castro is sucking because he hates showing up for work, can't understand why he's being bounced around in the lineup, has to deal with a clubhouse he doesn't want to show up to, is getting a bit lazy with work because of a lack of being appropriately pushed, etc...that's a manager issue.
if workplace/environment issues are solid i can't blame castro's regression on the manager anymore than i can give total credit to him for valbuena/ransom becoming one the best 3rd base combos in the league.

Mostly fluff on Vogelbach:
"He's had a good year, so far," said Brandon Hyde, the Chicago Cubs director of minor leagues. "He's athletic. He has improved defensively. He has stayed on top of his conditioning. He does some things physically that we didn't anticipate him doing."
Despite his 6-foot, 250-pound frame, Vogelbach has deceptive speed on the basepaths to match his prowess as a power hitter. He has stolen three bases in four attempts.
"I've lost a lot of weight," said Vogelbach, who has weighed as much as 268. "My body fat has gone down a ton. At 250, I'm in better shape than I've ever been in before."

Recent comments
yes, those hamilton WAR numbers are very reasonable. i'm on your side now based on that biting commentary and reasoning of why he's a 3.5-ish WAR player over a 600 PA season.
those numbers are obviously well deserved and worthy of no scrutiny...none at all. no issue.
CF D is rarer than a jon lester pickoff at 2nd...totally irreplaceable...no way in hell there's good D, low/no-hitting CF's in anyone's system that could do what hamilton is doing. guys like this don't exist...you get like, 2-3 at any given time in history.
Please do not discuss War here. I think the Cub Reporter should be politics free.
But yes, whether you support War or Peace...Mike Trout is ridiculously consistent and good.
"According to FOX Sports' Jon Morosi, Tim Tebow's baseball workout Tuesday in Los Angeles will be attended by scouts from "roughly half" of the 30 major league teams."
"One scout told ESPN.com last week that Tebow's swing is so long it might "take out the front row." That's not a good thing."

The #MBpelicans and @Cubs have extended their PDC through 2020!
Carolina League getting 2 new teams too.
CF WAR is ridiculous...billy hamilton is pulling a 3.0 WAR somehow...and managed a 2.0 WAR last year (even though he missed a month of the season)...and a 3.7 WAR in 2014.
yeah, a lot depends on how one is doing relative to others at a given position, but WAR is common used (right or wrong) as a blanket comparing all kinds of players.
trout's one of the best, and at this point should probably win over donaldson (and should have more MVPs in the past, too), but the defensive aspect of valuing WAR still needs more tweaking...imo.
Mike Trout is ridiculous
Don't know if Cubs will recover from "spanking" Gordo
2nd in defensive WAR, NL.
6th in NL in RBI
Go complain about something else, like, "they never play good against the good teams", or some other shit.
Addy really has trouble breaking through .250 BA -- after his hot streak got him to .251, he has gone 1-for-17.
Thank goodness for Jansen's 2 WP on Friday -- otherwise this would have been a sweep.
There seems to be a direct correlation with overconfidence in the Cubs offense against mediocre/young pitchers and really poor offense against mediocre/young pitchers. So, let's fear the Pirate pitchers!
Rizzo due for a power surge -- one HR in August so far. He truly does hit them in bunches.
Sometimes I'm not as supportive of Cahill as maybe I should be. There, I said it.
Rough 8th inning all around -- HBP, Cahill error, Javy's poor decision.
Oh well - given that the Cubs didn't look like they were going to score, it's better to lose in 9 innings, save the bullpen and get changed for the PJ trip home.

Critical Tree Removal Services
Landscaping and tree removal services are a critical skill that one needs for a more aesthetically pleasing home. Many people would like a great-looking home, but do not know how to get started. That is the purpose of this article. Continue reading for great landscaping advice.
If you are thinking about doing some landscaping at your home, remember to use all available spaces in your design. Your landscaping should be three dimensional, and not just limited to the ground. Use the walls of your home, trellises, arbors, and anything else you can think of to add depth and dimension to your landscaping.
Add some paving stones to your landscaping project, to create walkways. This can help to keep people off of your lawn, and it adds beauty to your property. You can line the walkways with some native flowers, to increase the beauty, and further enhance the appearance of your entire property.
Whenever you are trying to determine what types of plants to include in your landscaping project, you should always consider things like sunlight, wind direction and strength, and soil alkalinity. These factors will help narrow down your options so that you can choose plants that will thrive in your landscape.
Plan before you start shopping. It's important to know what you're getting yourself into. Before you go shopping for the things you need, make a plan for yourself. Determine exactly what you're doing, what the costs will be, and the skill level involved. It would be unwise to just start landscaping without some sort of plan. You could easily end up wasting a great deal of time, and money.
Learn how to remove stumps and properly layer your beds. You should have a first row with your tallest plants and keep your shortest plants for your last row. The tallest plants should be facing North to protect the smaller ones from cold winds. Make sure all your beds are organized in the same fashion.

A very dear friend of mine from work passed away suddenly on Sunday. It's been a helluva week, as you can imagine.
The funeral was today, at the funeral home. The place was filled to capacity. Out of the corner of my eye I see a very tall man dressed in a suit. In his hand is a small video camera that is aimed right at the 23 year old daughter of my friend as she sobs uncontrollably. He pans to the right to fix the camera on the (open) casket, and then further to the right, doing a complete 360� turn, filming the guests at the funeral. He filmed the entire service.
I know my friend's son and daughter very well, and I'm relatively certain they didn't request this.
What would the reasoning be behind this - any thoughts?

How hiring a consumer lawyer is different from hiring a regular lawyer, and potentially much less costly. [Caveat Emptor]
I was just at Walmart and their Great Value (not anymore anyways) yogurt has shrunk form an 8oz container to a 6 oz container with no drop in price.
The only reason I really noticed it was because they had left 1 of the 8oz containers on the shelf!
@SkyeBlue: And that's relevant to this how?
@The Dude: SkyeBlue meant to reply to the article just above this one.
One thing that the Caveat Emptor article fails to mention is that even with a contingency fee situation, the client is responsible for expenses. These can add up to a fair amount, so you should always ask for details as to what is considered an expense and how much items cost. For instance, some firms charge $6 or even $10 for an outgoing fax. Also, seriously consider the percentage contingency any attorney plans to take. Contingency arrangements can be great for both the attorney and client, but they are not without pitfalls.

NEW YORK — Members of a violent Bronx drug trafficking crew were arrested and charged Thursday with distributing crack cocaine and other drugs. These charges come as a result of an investigation by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) led El Dorado Task Force (EDTF) in New York.
Special agents and police officers arrested 21 members and associates of the Murder Moore Gangstas (MMG), a violent drug trafficking crew based in and around the Moore Houses in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx. They were charged with conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine, powder cocaine, marijuana, MDMA-ecstasy, and painkillers, as well as assorted firearms offenses.
"Today's arrests dealt a significant blow to a criminal organization that allegedly peddled crack cocaine and marijuana throughout New York City communities," said James T. Hayes Jr., special agent in charge of HSI New York. "The successful outcome of this investigation is exactly why HSI's El Dorado Task Force brings together local and federal law enforcement agencies to detect and disrupt criminal factions that distribute illegal drugs contributing to the demise of our society."
"This violent gang and drug trafficking organization has been dismantled and taken off the streets today to eliminate fear from the community and to keep our streets safe," said Wilbert L. Plummer, acting special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) New York Field Division. "Cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana were being distributed in open air markets, and through our collaborative efforts from the law enforcement community we have arrested those responsible and put them behind bars."
"With today's arrests in the Bronx, there are 21 fewer alleged criminals infesting the streets with narcotics and using deadly firearms to support and defend their illegal trade," said Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. "Cleaning up the neighborhoods in this district so that residents can live in peace, knowing their communities and their children are safe, remains one of our top priorities."
"ATF is committed to working alongside our law enforcement partners to impact and reduce violent crime in New York City," said Joseph Anarumo Jr., special agent in charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in New York. "Today's arrests and seizures exemplify that cooperative effort to remove violent, predatory criminals from our streets."
"These gang members pushed illegal narcotics and used violence and intimidation to further their drug trade," said Raymond W. Kelly, commissioner of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). "I want to commend the NYPD Bronx Gang Squad and particularly the undercover detectives who at great risk to themselves took drugs, guns and ultimately these suspects off the streets."
"As part of the El Dorado Task Force, the IRS-Criminal Investigation Division works with our law enforcement partners to accomplish a number of objectives to make life better for the citizens of the New York City–Metropolitan area," said Victor W. Lessoff, acting special agent in charge of the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CID). "Combating drugs and violence on our streets, using our financial investigative expertise, is one of them."
In a coordinated operation Wednesday and Thursday; federal, state and local law enforcement officers arrested 14 MMG members and associates in the Bronx. One of the charged defendants was previously arrested on state charges, and six defendants are still at large.
According to court documents, between December 2011 and June 2012, undercover detectives with NYPD made multiple purchases of crack cocaine and other drugs from MMG members and associates in the Moore Houses area of the Bronx. Investigators also had court-authorized wiretaps on some of the defendants' phones, and intercepted them engaging in their drug business.
Defendants Juan Fernandez, Ramon Morales, Odell Scarborough, Yemelia Ayala, Angel Alicea, Emmanuel Miller, Robert Rivera, Eugene Miller, Edward Brown, Lamont Robinson, James Miller, Alberto Bajana, Miguel Otero, Bryan Cummings, Jose Valdez, Dennis Sanders, Nathaniel Johnson, Kristopher Meade, Rolando Montes and Ricky Walker are charged in an indictment with conspiring to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute crack cocaine, powder cocaine, marijuana, MDMA and oxycodone/roxycodone. The defendants operated in and around 550 Cauldwell Avenue and 480 Concord Avenue, the Bronx. Fernandez, Morales, Scarborough, Emmanuel Miller, Edward Brown and Rolando Montes are also charged with possessing firearms in connection with their drug activity.

The six other defendants charged in the indictment; Eugene Miller, Johnson, Montes, Otero, Rivera and Valdez remain at large.

The Nevada women's golf team
LAS CRUCES, NM – The Nevada Wolf Pack women's golf team had another strong day and has two players in the top 11 in The Prices "Give 'Em Five" Intercollegiate after the second round.
Tuesday the Wolf Pack shot a 298 which kept them within striking distance of the leader, Kansas. The Pack went into the second round Tuesday tied for fourth after the first round on Monday with a 297.
"We shot 298 today after a 297 yesterday so I am happy with the consistency," said head coach Chad Spencer. "That being said, I think we can go lower so we'll see what happens in the final round."
Sophomore Nikki Prichard leads the Wolf Pack after shooting 70 in the second round, and is tied for third in the individual race. Prichard shot a 74 in the first round on Monday, but came back hot on Tuesday, and now sits at even par. Freshman Caryn Khoo shot a 76 on Tuesday after shooting a 71 on Monday, and is tied for 11th at three-over par. Senior Louis Yi is tied for 25th, Freshman Carly Simpson is tied for 47th, and sophomore Bethany Wurster is tied for 59th.
Nevada will play 18 holes in the final round tomorrow starting at 8 am at the 7,078-yard New Mexico State Golf course.

SIKESTON -- The Sikeston Senior High School library and Sikeston Public Library are teaming up to do a little spring cleaning.
And in the process, they're making room for new titles on their respective book shelves and giving local readers a chance to purchase an assortment of publications.
All next week, which is also American Library Week, the two libraries will conduct book sales open to the public.
Sikeston Senior High's sale will be 7:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. April 3-7 in the high school library. Sikeston Public Library's annual sale will be 5-8 p.m. April 6, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. April 7, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 8 and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. April 9. Also on April 9, those who attend the sale can bring a brown grocery bag and fill it up with as many books as they can for $1.
Sikeston Public Library Director Sue Tangeman said she has no problem with the sales being held the same week.
"The high school's dates had been set and so the two happened to overlap," Tangeman said. "It's not going to hurt either one of us, and we need to promote it, I think in the long run, it's a good thing."
The collaboration by the two libraries was partly due to a total renovation of the Sikeston Senior High library beginning at the end of the school year, said Libby Caskey, library media specialist for Sikeston Senior High.
"This was more out of necessity because we have to move everything out for the renovation, and the time frame happened to coincide to the public library's book sale," Caskey explained.
And rather than pack and unpack some of the older and unused books, Caskey thought a book sale would be a great way to update the selection for high school students since all proceeds will be used to purchase new books for the library.
Caskey said she is hoping to reduce the high school's current collection of 17,000 to 20,000 items by 7 percent.
Caskey is still sorting through books, but said fiction, nonfiction and reference books will be among items for sale.
"Our focus is research facility for the high school kids," Caskey said. "We will be more age appropriate here (than the public library), but we do have young adults with adult novels because we also serve the teachers."
Fiction will probably range from fifth grade and up, Caskey said. Nonfiction will include historical, social sciences and technology.
"We have things (for sale) that are copyrighted as far back as the 1950s and items from the 2000s that are duplicate copies," Caskey said.
Caskey is also considering having items two-for-the-price-of one on the Thursday of the sale and fill a bag of books for $1 on that Friday.
"The prime selection will be at the beginning, and the bargain selection toward the end," Caskey said.
Public library workers begin pricing books in early January, Tangeman said.
"We've got quite a few children's books this year and a lot of the more current novels," Tangeman said. "We have several abridged books on tape, the usual genre of cookbooks, encyclopedias, etc."
Each year the book sale typically generates enough revenue -- about $1,500 to $2,000 -- to buy replacement books or new books at the library, Tangeman said.
Caskey, who is on the Sikeston Public Library Board, knew the Sikeston Public Library's annual book sale was approaching when she planned the high school's sale but didn't want to infringe on the public library's annual sale, which has been held the same time for years.
"Sue was very gracious to do this," Caskey said about Tangeman.
Students will be able to attend the high school book sale, and Caskey said she would be happy for the public to come; however, any person other than school personnel should check in at the high school office first.
Helping Caskey with the sale are her library service students.
"The library serves students at the senior high school, and they're doing this as a project," Caskey said.
Tangeman noted the public library will also receive assistance from Sikeston High School students -- the Bleacher Bums. The Bleacher Bums will help retrieve the library's boxes of books from the basement, she said.
"Everybody seems to enjoy it," Tangeman said. "What somebody might not consider to keep in their collections is somebody's treasure. It's a win-win for everybody."

Fight the Power
by Public Enemy
With "Fight the Power," production team The Bomb Squad set the gold standard of hip-hop production. The song's beat mixes, impressively, more than a dozen different sounds and tracks. Where earlier hip-hop DJs tended to loop one or two different samples for an entire song (with the exception of greats like Afrika Bambaataa), The Bomb Squad took the art to an entirely new level, creating a large number of beats from a variety of genres and sources.
Let's look at the song beginning to end in the context of these samples.
The first sample is a speech that introduces the song: "Yet our best-trained, best-educated, best-equipped, best-prepared troops refuse to fight. Matter of fact it's safe to say that they would rather switch than fight." This excerpt comes from a 1967 speech by attorney Thomas "TNT" Todd. He was referring to the AWOL soldiers that abandoned the war effort in Vietnam on moral grounds. The Bomb Squad re-appropriated the quote to encourage more African Americans to get involved in defending their rights.
The ascending intro riff comes from the obscure hair metal song "Bird of Prey" by Uriah Heep. In the background of the mix you can hear the intro of "Pump Me Up" by Trouble Funk.
The 1988 New Jack Swing song "Teddy's Jam" by Guy gives the main beat of the song its snare hits and drums together with "Pump Me Up." Funky jazz bunch The J.B.'s get their song "Hot Pants Road" harvested for the bass line. The female vocal loop "Come on and get down" comes from the aptly-titled dance song "Let's Dance (Make Your Body Move)" by the West Street Mob. And the skanking funk guitar is pulled from The Dramatics' "Whatcha See is Whatcha Get."
A lot of samples accent the lyrics throughout the song. Chuck D's line "People, people" gets its echo in the James Brown sample from "Funky President" playing under it. After the line "Yo! bum rush the show," The Bomb Squad inserts this moan from "Sing a Simple Song" by Sly & the Family Stone. At the end of the third verse Afrika Bambaataa's hit hip-hop song "Planet Rock" gets its play with the tremolo'd "Yeah" sample.
Even in this limited index of the song's sources it is apparent that The Bomb Squad took sampling to a level that rivaled Afrika Bambaataa in its scope of sources—from jazz to funk to dance to hair metal—and certainly exceeded all previous production in its quality. "Fight the Power" tightly integrated these diffuse sources in its beat, taking sampling to a new level and setting a standard for all future samplers.

Don't let being new stop you writing patches, especially documentation ones.
Assuming you've done a full SVN checkout, just edit the txt file (copying the existing style you find in there) and then produce an svn diff. If you need some more help than that, visit the IRC channel - we're a helpful bunch. Alternatively, don't fret - someone else will probably fix it eventually. :)

My name is Isaac Holeman. In professional life, my work as a designer-researcher is about seeing through the eyes of the poor and marginalized and responding pragmatically. You can find more about that on my LinkedIn or Twitter.
In the rest of life, I'm a bookish person and a hands-on person and one of many that make up a great big outdoorsy Oregon family. My life revolves around the wonders of wild places, frontiers and finding meaning in suffering and the fringes of society. Faith helps me make sense of the absurd beauty and sorrow of our world.
Curiosity is the cornerstone of my personality. Tinkering and designing technologies like my dear bicycle or distributed web apps or SIM apps. Social enterprise and the tribulations of teamwork. Writing for National Geographic, or The Oregonian, or the Harvard Global Health Review. Reams of creative writing, which remains hidden but for a few captions. Keeping a dream journal. Magical realism. Making websites,1,2,3 and music,1, 2 and photographs. And editing wikipedia articles about oregon history or indie publishing or social theory or catholic teachings on higher education, social justice and liberation.
I really want to feel the breeze at the top of that tree, and to know what souls are. I'm also curious about you. Something tells me I could like you just for being you.
Imagining that everyone can hear me is a thought experiment that helps me focus on being authentically, undeniably and always me. Writing for the web is my attempt to make the thought experiment real.

This is a sampling of The Education Report, Katy Murphy's Oakland schools blog. Read more at IBAbuzz.com/education. Follow her at Twitter.com/KatyMurphy.
Jan. 31: Reporters change beats all the time. We're not in the habit of telling our readers goodbye unless we're leaving the paper, and maybe not even then.
But given all the time we've spent together on this forum -- me writing about Oakland school news and you telling me what I missed and what I should look into (or debating something different altogether) -- this feels different.
I'm going to be covering colleges and universities for the Tribune and its sister papers now, working mostly out of a newsroom in Hayward with other East Bay reporters who cover issues for the whole news group. I'm excited about the challenge. Who knows, I could end up writing about students I met when they were angsty teens, haunting the hallways of McClymonds High or Oakland Tech -- or returning to those high schools to write stories about college.
I hope you stay in touch and send me your story ideas.
I've known about this for awhile, but have waited to tell you until I knew who would be replacing me. I'm afraid I don't have an easy answer. The newspaper has been trying to fill the position, but so far has been unable to do so.
After all of the time we've all spent on this blog, I'm hoping it can survive until someone can take it over on a more regular basis. Another metro reporter plans to attend school board meetings and post occasionally. Maybe, if any of you are inspired, you could contribute.
This is hard for me to tell you; I know how important schools coverage is, especially to Oaklanders. My editor has set up an email for news tips and blog submissions: email@example.com.
If you are interested in posting regularly, please let us know.
Thanks for reading, and for making the blog so lively and interesting. I'll miss answering your questions, absorbing your insights and reflections, and, most of all, imploring you and "Nextset" to be civil to one another.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
by Robert Frost
Nothing Gold Can Stay Resources
Work that tweed when you read these scholarly viewpoints of the poem.
And boy, did he know it. It turns out he started writing poems all the way back in high school. Get the scoop in this brief bio on Poets.org.
If you're in the neighborhood, you might want to check out Robert Frost's farm in Derry, New Hampshire, where he and his family lived from 1900-1911.
The character Ponyboy from the movie The Outsiders recites the Frost poem against a beautiful, gold sky.
Here's the man, reading your new favorite poem, all dramatic-like.
Even famous poets like cake.
We bet those leaves will be falling any minute. So much for gold.
Frost's complete collected poems, if you just can't get enough.
You could buy the book "Nothing Gold Can Stay" first appeared in, but it's expensive and pretty hard to find. Don't say we didn't warn you. And let us know if you snag yourself a copy.
Movies & TV
This movie, based on the novel by S.E. Hinton, quotes "Nothing Gold Can Stay." A lot.
This awesome documentary on the life of Frost should answer all of your burning questions.

A couple of posts ago, I wrote about my wife and I placing sexual bets on a card game, and we had an awesome time. Not only was the sex fun, but it brought a new element of fun to the card game as well. So, we started thinking about what else we could improve using this same method.
So, we're going to try to apply it to personal development. This time around, specifically weight loss. We both have some extra pounds we want to lose, so we've set up a game for ourselves. We're going to track loss week to week. From Monday to Monday, we're going to weigh ourselves and the spouse who losses the most gets to pick a sexual favor to be performed by the other spouse.
Some qualifiers:
Last week, my wife and I were chatting over Facebook (I was at work, she was on her phone). We were discussing the plans for the evening, were there any meetings, clubs, activities, etc that we are required to go to. Then she sent me a message that nearly knocked me off my chair:
Maybe we could play cards and whoever wins can have almost anything they want later…..

Skill Level Beginner
In other videos in this chapter, I have described how to use the DetailsView control to present a data entry form and then how to insert data into a server-side database from data passed into the control by the user. Now, I'm going to describe how to bind together a list page, such as the Authors.aspx page I'm showing on the screen, with the Insert Form so that the user can link from the list page to the form and then return to the list page when they finish their task. I will start in Authors.aspx. This file currently shows a list of existing data.
I'm going to create a simple hyperlink that takes the user to the AuthorInsert page. I'll click right after the table, clicking to the right of the control and then I'll press Enter to create a new paragraph and I'll press Enter one more time to push the SQLDataSource down a line and then click above the SQLDataSource into the now empty paragraph. Now I'll go to the Toolbar panel. I'll move the cursor over the tab and then I'll pin the Toolbox and then I'll locate the Hyperlink control, which will be found in the standard category of the Toolbox. Then I'll click and drag the hyperlink and drop it into the paragraph. An ASP hyperlink simply generates an anchor tag and you set its values, that is the text or image it displays and the URL to which the user will navigate, through the control's properties.
With that selected, I'll go to the Properties panel, I'll double-click on the Properties panel header to make it float and then I'll drag it out, so I can see the properties more easily. Notice that the default text is Hyperlink. I'll change that to Add New Author and when I press Enter or Tab, I'll see that new text reflected in the Design view. Now I'll indicate which page I want the user to navigate to. I'll go to the NavigateURL property and I'll click into the text input next to the name.
Notice I then see a triple dot button, which allows me to browse for a target page. I'll click the button and I'll select the file, AuthorInsert.aspx. Then I'll click OK. Notice that Visual Web Developer uses the syntax starting with the tilde character which stands for the Root folder of the website, then the slash and then the name of the page. So now, I'll test my hyperlink. I'll press Control+S to save the file and Control+F5 to run it in the browser. When the Authors page appears, it shows the new link. I'll move the cursor over the link and click and I'm taken to the Insert page. Now I'll describe how to handle navigating from the insert form back to the list page. I'll close the browser and then switch to the file AuthorInsert.aspx. This is the same AuthorInsert.aspx that I used in another video of this chapter.
If you didn't work through the previous video that described how to create the insert form, you'll want to do that first before going through these next steps. The insert form in its current state uses a DetailsView to present text input controls for each column. The user types values into the column and then clicks the Insert link. By default, the page simply reloads. I'm going to handle an event that occurs after the data has been inserted into the database and I'll react to that event by redirecting the browser back to the list of data.
This page was originally created with a code file. The name of the code file is AuthorInsert.aspx.cs. I'll go to that file and I'll add a new function. I'm doing this work in C#. If you are doing your own work in Visual Basic, you will need to translate this code into the appropriate syntax but the basic architecture is the same. I will create a function with a protected access modifier and then a return type of void. I'll name the function DetailView_ItemInsert. I'm going to press Alt+Shift+Enter to open to Full Screen so I can see as much code as possible and then I'll scroll back over so I can see the beginning of the function. Now, I'll complete the function signature. I'll put it in an opening parenthesis and then the first item that will be passed in will be an object, which I'll name sender.
In an event handler function like this, the sender argument is a reference to the object that actually generated the event like the DetailView. Then I'll pass in something known as an event object. The event object contains information about the event that just occurred and in this particular event that I'll be working with, which is the item inserted event, the data type of the event object is DetailsViewInsertedEventArgs. So I'll put in the data type, DetailsViewInsertedEventArgs, and then I'll set the name of the event object as simply e for event.
Now put in the pair of braces. When this event occurs, the event object will have a property called affected rows. It's a numeric property and if the insert statement succeeded, it will have a value of 1. So I'll ask the question, if e.Affectedrows == 1. This means if one row is affected in the database, and then I'm going to take that as a condition of success. I'll put in a pair of braces and within the braces, I'll respond to that condition by calling this code, Response.Redirect, and I'll pass in the location of the file I want the user to go to, Authors.aspx.
Notice that I'm ending the statement with the semicolon because I'm working in C#. Now to make this function happen, I'm going to select and then copy just the name of the function to the clipboard. Then I'll go back to the page AuthorInsert.aspx and I'll look at this file in Source View. I'll scroll up to the DetailsView control's begin tag and place the cursor right inside the closing angle bracket. I will press Enter and then I'll put in an event handler attribute, which looks like this, OnItemInserted. This is the name of the attribute which causes the function to be called when this event occurs. I'll put in the equals and the quote and then I'll press Ctrl+V to paste in the name of the function and then close the statement with the closing quote.
Notice that I don't have to put in the parenthesis or actually call the function. The DetailsView object will call the function for me and it will call it using the signature or the number and data types of the arguments that I defined. I'll save all my changes by selecting File > Save All. Then I'll test the page. I'll select Debug > Start Without Debugging and I'm going to type in some values. When I click the Insert link, the data is inserted into the database and as you can see on the screen, the new data has been successfully added. Now I'll also put in code to handle the event that occurs when the user clicks the Cancel link.
I'll return back to the file AuthorInsert.aspx.cs and I'll move the cursor down below the existing functions and press Enter. When the user clicks either of the links, another event called ItemCommand occurs. As before, I'll create a new function starting with protected void and I'll name this function DetailView_ ItemCommand. As before the first argument will be an object which I'll name Sender and the event object passed in, it's the second argument, this time will have a data type of DetailsViewCommandEventArgs. I'll select the appropriate type and give it a name of e.
Then put in a pair of braces. Within the braces, I'm going to ask which link was clicked and specifically I'll check whether the user clicked the Cancel link using this syntax. if e.CommandName == "Cancel". Then I'll put in a pair of braces and within the conditional clause, I'll once again use the same redirect command. I'll just copy and paste it from the previous function. I'll select the code, Response. RedirectAuthors.aspx, press Ctrl+C to copy, click into my new conditional clause and press Ctrl+V to paste.
Now as before, I'll select and copy the name of the function that I just created. I'll save the changes to this file by pressing Ctrl+S. I'll return back to AuthorInsert.aspx and I'll add another event handler attribute. This one will be OnItemCommand. I'll start off by typing On, then press Ctrl+Space to bring up a list of events and the I'll keep on typing until I find the event I'm looking for, OnItemCommand. Then I'll put in the equals character that auto completes the name of the attribute, put in the quote, press Ctrl+V to paste and put in the closing quote.
Once again, I'm simply naming the function that I want to be called when the event occurs. I'll save my changes, I'll return back to the list page and test the whole thing. I'll run the list page, Authors.aspx, I'll click Add New Author and this time I'll click the Cancel link and that takes me back to the author list. So now I have a complete system for adding new data. The user clicks the Add New Author link from the list; that takes them to the form. If they type values into the form and click Insert, that adds the data to the server-side database and returns to the list, or if they click the Cancel link, they return to the list without inserting the data into the server-side database.

Brendan O'Connor: Jailing of rapist is a victory for all victims
The letter of the law deferred to the spirit of humanity when Judge Carney sent Patrick O'Brien to prison
Published 27/01/2013 | 05:00
THERE was a disturbing undercurrent to the story of Fiona Doyle's abuse. Fiona has spoken about how, at the age of eight, she was known as her father's whore. Elsewhere, Fiona has said that her own mother would actually refer to as a whore, when she was beating her. It is a strange thing to call a child, isn't it?
But in fact Fiona Doyle thinks that her mother, who seems, as far as we can see, to be still standing by her husband, knew about the abuse. Can a woman really know that her husband is raping her daughter every time she goes to bingo and not do anything about it for nine years? Can that mother actually, in some weird way, blame the young girl? Can she really, as Fiona Doyle thinks, cast this young girl as the "other woman" in the marriage, as if a young child can be a temptress who seduces her own father, a sexual rival to the mother?
This disturbing thread was evidenced too in the mention of how Fiona Doyle dressed as a child. Patrick O'Brien had initially denied that he had raped his daughter as a matter of course for almost a decade. He claimed that his daughter was making up the accusations because, in his words, "I was very hard on her because of the way she was dressing". Again the suggestion that this young girl was some kind of tramp, who dressed inappropriately. Indeed, in this lie, Patrick O'Brien very much portrays himself as an upright man trying to protect his daughter, the "whore", from inviting unwanted attention. There is an undercurrent there that suggests she was "asking for it" in the way she dressed.
Of course, this was a lie, and, in fact, Fiona Doyle went out of her way to say last week that as a teenager she dressed "like a nun". Fiona Doyle should not have to defend how she dressed as a teenager. Neither should any teenager feel the need to dress like a nun, but against an undercurrent of being portrayed a whore, the other woman, someone who invited unwanted sexual attention, you can see why she might have dressed as a nun.
In some way, this could have been the same twisting of Fiona Doyle's sense of herself and her femininity and her sexuality that caused two marriages to break down and that caused her to, as she puts it now, "mutilate" herself with plastic surgery. Fiona certainly blames all that on the abuse.
These undercurrents are all about one thing. Fiona Doyle's abuser, and any co-dependent who was embroiled in enabling him, tried to make Fiona Doyle believe that what happened to her was her fault, that she invited it. She was even, it seems, punished for what happened her by her mother.
As shocking as that might seem to you, it is not that rare a mindset. A certain kind of person can tend to imply that children who are abused are in some way at fault. Though obviously it is said using more delicate words than "whore". People use phrases like, "Shure, those children in institutions were all very troubled anyway".
There are often suggestions too that some kids who came into contact with the same priest or the same abuser didn't get abused the way others did, because they dealt with it better, fought it off more decisively, or maybe it did happen to them but they kept it in proportion. And they didn't allow it to happen again. Some people will often vaguely suggest that if those children weren't complicit in some way, why did they keep "allowing it" to happen. There is almost a suggestion that they wouldn't have kept going back for more if they didn't like it. And shure, weren't those children in institutions starved for any kind of love or affection, anyway. And they all wanted to be one of the favourites.
These are repulsive notions but we have all heard them expressed in various ways.
That mindset would explain why so many children like Fiona Doyle were not listened to when they tried to report their abusers. Fiona Doyle's vindication was all the sweeter for her because she had felt very let down by the system – by her family, by doctors, by the health authorities and by the gardai – when she was younger. She wonders now why no one stepped in when she was treated for a sexually transmitted disease when she was 13 years old. Was it because her parents implied to people that despite their best efforts, she was trouble? A whore? Is that what her father convinced the rest of Fiona Doyle's family too? Is that how he turned her siblings against her? Is that how he convinced everyone for 20 years that she was crazy?
All of this is why what happened in the Central Criminal Court on Thursday was so important for Fiona Doyle and for so many other victims of abuse, and in a sense, for all of us.
There is no doubt that Judge Carney had what he saw at the time as legitimate reasons for letting Patrick O'Brien walk free from his court last Monday. We don't need to get into the complexities of it but there was history here. This is perhaps why, in trying to second guess the reaction to his case from within legal circles and outside them, and bearing in mind experiences he had had in the past with the DPP and the Criminal Court of Appeal, Judge Carney made the decision he made. He seemed to be trying to make a legal point and he seemed to be trying to cause events to play out in a certain way and he seemed to be trying to do this while operating within the strictures of the law. Carney has seen a lot of these cases and he certainly isn't someone who is soft on abusers.
While we would come to partially understand over the next few days the complexity of Carney's decision, people in general, and victims of abuse and sex crimes in particular, had little sympathy for the niceties of legal politics on Monday. They just saw one very simple thing. They saw a woman, who had bravely waived her right to anonymity, left without justice, as the man, her own father, who had perpetrated the most disgusting, monstrous and unnatural abuse against his own daughter, thus ruining her life, walked from the courtroom.
As a symbol, it was too ambiguous, in an area that is riddled with the kind of unfortunate ambiguity we discussed above. In a country where we claim now to stand four-square behind victims of abuse, to be full of horror and contrition at what happened in the past, it was just plain wrong to see an abuser walk free while the anguish of his victim, his daughter, continued. It was a victory for all those people who mutter quietly that there is more to these stories than meets the eye. It sent the message that the system still doesn't support the abused, and that the abuser is in some way harmless and does not deserve to be punished if he is only a frail old man.
And it sent the message that even if you were finally believed by the system, you still weren't taken seriously. None of this, it should be said, was intended by the judge, who seems to have had only good intentions, but that was the simple image that emanated from the case on Monday: You can put yourself through a very painful process and struggle to prove you were telling the truth all these years, and be brave enough to go public about it, but you could still be left in pain at the end.
No wonder the likes of the Rape Crisis network were inundated with calls from victims concerned about reporting abuse or going ahead with cases against their sexual offenders – the biggest deluge of calls since States of Fear first aired, according to some. It is a hard enough thing to go through the rigours of a court case like that without thinking that it could all be for naught even if you win.
And then some kind of miracle happened on Thursday. It was presented as being a technical point of law, that the judge had made a procedural error in giving leave to appeal, but in reality you wonder if that wasn't just a fig leaf, if someone somewhere didn't just find a point of law to turn the whole thing around.
You have to wonder if what happened in reality wasn't that Judge Carney realised too late the meaning of the symbol of O'Brien walking out of court. Maybe the judge had to see it play out to see what he had done. On Thursday, the judge admitted that he made, at the very least, a procedural error, but far more important than that was the language he went on to use. He admitted that letting O'Brien walk free was "insensitive" and "inappropriate", and he expressed his regret. These are not words we are used to hearing judges use about themselves in court.
You could interpret this as Judge Carney saying that while he had got the law wrong, this wasn't about getting the law wrong, it was actually about something beyond the law. You could interpret it as the judge saying that whatever about the law, he was recognising the distress of the victim and even the wider public.
While no one is suggesting that judges should react to every bit of uproar in the papers about a sentence, you have to think that the day that reality met the arcane world of the law on Thursday was not only a great day for Fiona Doyle, but it was a great day for victims everywhere and for Ireland. Fiona Doyle and her family certainly think that it was the public response to her case that caused Thursday's outcome.
It was a day that we accepted that there is a place where the letter of the law intersects with humanity and with what kind of a society we want to be, and, in its own stuffy way, the letter of the law deferred to humanity.

NEWBURGH — A reward leading to the conviction of those involved in the death of a pit bull found drowned in the Hudson River has risen to $3,500, according to a Hudson Valley SPCA official.
Hudson Valley SPCA Law Enforcement Division Chief Gene Hecht said Monday that the dog was found with water in its lungs, indicating it was thrown in alive. He previously said the dog was likely put head first into a bag and thrown in the water.
Hecht said he's identified the dog's owners from two collars found on the animal and will interview them this week. The dog was likely in the river for at least two weeks. The reward started at $2,500 last week but increased due to donations.
