A constant tinkerer and inventor, in the 1940s, Les set out to design a guitar that would sustain notes for far longer than the big hollow-bodied electric guitars that were commonly used in the middle of the 20th century. After considerable experimentation, Les determined that by anchoring the guitar strings to a solid piece of wood, sustain could be greatly increased, while simultaneously reducing the tendency for the guitar to feed back at higher volume levels– which is a considerable issue with hollow-bodied guitars. When a prototype was presented to Gibson, they initially passed on the idea of a solid body guitar, but they soon changed their mind, and the Les Paul model was released in 1952.
The original Goldtop model from 1952 featured a trapeze tailpiece, two single coil P-90 pickups with a separate volume and tone control for each pickup, a "set" or glued-in 24.75" scale mahogany neck, mahogany body with a thin maple top cap, and a distinctive "gold top" finish. Later models, such as the 1954 Custom model introduced features like the now-classic "tune-o-matic" bridge and fancier cosmetics. In 1957, the Seth Lover-designed "Patent Applied For" humbucker pickups were introduced. These pickups are "hotter" than the original P-90s, with a thicker and heavier sound, and are much less susceptible to hum and noise than the original single coils. The 1958, 1959 and 1960 Standards featured a distinctive sunburst finish over their often highly figured maple tops, and surviving examples of the originals are today among the most highly sought after and most expensive vintage guitar models in the world. In the mid-1950s, Gibson also broadened the LP line with the addition of the somewhat stripped down and less expensive Special and Junior models, and later did so again with the introduction of the mini-humbucker-equipped Deluxe in 1968 and the affordable Studio model in 1983.
Today, Gibson is still making many different versions of the Les Paul in their Nashville USA factory. Long a favorite of blues and rock guitarists, it remains one of the best-selling and most popular guitars in the world, and has been associated with such artists as Slash, Mike Bloomfield, Duane Allman, Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Joe Perry and Jimmy Page.

Lady Gaga's Bizarre Chair Is Its Own Fame Monster
Lady Gaga's chair is ready for its close up.
The piece of furniture doesn't actually belong to the internationally best-selling pop star, but has become the centerpiece for promotions for her upcoming album, "ArtPop." The chair will begin its own United States tour this week in New York City.
Binary Chair 01 — or for techies, BNR011000110110100001100001011010010111001001- 00110001 — was first conceived of by the South Carolina artist Benjamin Rollins Caldwell, 30 years old, in April 2011, and was originally shown at the Industry Gallery in Washington, D.C., last spring.
Over the summer, a representative from the Haus of Gaga, the singer's creative team, contacted gallery owner Craig Appelbaum to ask if Stefani Germanotta, who goes by the stage name Lady Gaga, could use the chair, which looks like a mid-century armchair made out of the insides of computers, in a photo shoot.
"They were very vague about what they needed it for," Mr. Caldwell said.
The under structure for the Binary Chair 01 is composed of an outdated industrial printer, which was disassembled and then riveted back together. The surface of the chair is covered with a collage of motherboards, computer chips, lcd screens and hard drive disks held in place by sheet metal screws. It is slightly uncomfortable to sit on without a cushion.
For travel, the chair is shipped in a crate at a cost that varies between a couple hundred dollars and several thousand.
Mr. Caldwell was kept in the dark about his chair's activities while it was in the hands of the Haus of Gaga team.
"I didn't know the extent of what they were doing and then the chair became the main image for her Twitter," Mr. Caldwell explained. "All of a sudden people started tagging all of my stuff with #ArtPop and #LadyGaga. It was exciting."
Ms. Germanotta's creative and publicity teams did not respond to requests for comments.
Before Mr. Caldwell knew it, this chair made from odds and ends salvaged from an abandoned warehouse in Spartanburg, S.C., was the symbol of the singer's campaign for a collision of the art world with the pop music world.
Ms. Germanotta tweeted the image of her sitting on Binary Chair 01 and made it her profile picture on July 26, 2013. The image has been retweeted more than 50,000 times.
A second image of Ms. Germanotta in the Binary Chair, this time wearing white dreadlocks, received more than 300,000 likes on Facebook and was shared more than 8,500 times.
The chair joined Lady Gaga on set at "Good Morning America" in August.
"This chair is really indicative of what I want to say with this campaign. I'm not just a musician. I am also a creative mind," Ms. Germanotta said on the morning talk show.
Binary Chair 01 then spent several weeks in Berlin waiting for the singer's October listening party where she debuted a new song off the album for her fans.
Last Thursday the chair was put into a crate in Germany. It made a pit stop in London and then took a direct flight to New York City, where it was held in customs for four days.
"Perhaps they were confused by a manifest listing a chair that weighed 400 pounds," Mr. Caldwell said.
The chair finally arrived this week in the Flatiron office of Mr. Caldwell's publicist, Lori Levine. This weekend, it will join pieces from three of the country's other leading contemporary artists — Jeff Koons, Marina Abramović and Robert Wilson — at an event dubbed ArtRave, a de facto album release party for the singer, art exhibit and dance party.
Mr. Caldwell has designed something much grander, but still "binary," for the big event.
"Thousands of electronic components have gone into the installation. A couple hundred computers came from my nephew's school, which was currently updating all their computers," Mr. Caldwell, who said he is humbled by the chance to join these big name artists, said of his procurement process. "I was also able to truck away two 26-foot trucks full of electronics from one thrift store."
From New York, the chair will be making stops in Miami for Design Miami at ArtBasel then will fly back to New York City for a Wired magazine pop-up store. In early 2014, it will embark on what the artist and his publicist are referring to as a "Binary Technology Tour" of various Internet companies on the West Coast. It will then shadow Lady Gaga as she tours the rest of the United States.
Mr. Caldwell notes without a hint of irony: "It likes to follow Lady Gaga around."

The Wooldridge Monuments are a series of historical monuments located in Maplewood Cemetery of Mayfield, Kentucky. They were built for Colonel Henry G. Wooldridge, to commemorate family members and other loved ones of his life, from 1892 until Wooldridge's death on May 30, 1899.[2] Wooldridge is the only one buried at the site.[3] The lot has been called "The Strange Procession Which Never Moves".[4]
In 1892, Wooldridge lost the last of his sisters, leaving him with no immediate family; he was a lifelong bachelor. This prompted him to buy a lot at Maplewood Cemetery.[5]
The monuments were gaining attention even in Wooldridge's lifetime, as represented in the November 7, 1897 issue of Republic. Stories told of the monuments include the Minnie statue actually representing a childhood sweetheart whose early death due to horse riding prompted Wooldridge's bachelorhood (family records say it was of a niece) and that Wooldridge was such a miser that money was buried with him in his tomb.[6][7]
The total area of the monuments are 17 by 33 feet (5.2 by 10.1 m). All eighteen monuments face east, like most of the gravestones in Maplewood Cemetery. The most prominent is a life-size likeness of Wooldridge himself, a 6-foot-tall (1.8 m) marble statue in the center of the site, made in Italy.[4] Fourteen other monuments surrounding Wooldridge are made of limestone, and have more rigid poses. The largest of these represent Wooldridge on his horse, named "Fop". The other limestone statues are 5 feet (1.5 m) tall on 3-foot-tall (0.91 m) bases, and represent family members. Behind these are replicas of a fox, a deer, and two hounds chasing them; the dogs are unidentified on the statue but represent Wooldridge's dogs "Towhead" and "Bob".[3] The statue makers, who hailed from Mayfield and Paducah, Kentucky, never before or after had a more "complex" or "ambitious" project.[8]
The female statues represent Wooldridge's mother Keziah, his sisters Minerva, Narcissa, and Susan, and his nieces Maud and Minnie. The male statues that are not of Wooldridge are of his brothers Alfred, John, Josiah, and W.H. There is no statue depicting Wooldridge's father.[7]
The fence around the lot was placed there by the Mayfield Masonic lodge, replacing the old iron fence.[9] Wooldridge was a Freemason.[2]
Modern times[edit]
In September 1984 the monuments were featured on the TV show Ripley's Believe It or Not.[7]
To gain access to the monuments, one must go through another item on the National Register to get there, the Confederate Memorial Gates in Mayfield.
On January 27, 2009, the monuments were damaged when a large tree in the cemetery fell as a result of an ice storm, breaking several of the heads. Only the statues of Wooldridge's sisters and a dog remained standing. City and County officials considered what to do to repair the damage to the monuments, one of the few tourist attractions for the city.
Over the summer of 2010 all the monuments were restored on site by Monument Conservation Collaborative, a historic monument restoration firm based in Connecticut.
On October 21, 2010 there was an official rededication of the monument as over a year's worth of repairs have been completed and all the statues are back in place.

Lane Kashiwamura hit a two-run double and scored twice during an eight-run rally in the first inning, Kaimi Gilliland pitched a two-hitter and the Central East Maui All-Stars defeated Saipan 10-0 in six innings Tuesday in a Senior League World Series game in Bangor, Maine.
Kashiwamura and Shadd Santos each finished with three RBIs. Santos was 2-for-3, with a run-scoring triple in the sixth.
"We were seeing the ball really well today," said Maui manager Lee Kashiwamura.
Gilliland struck out four batters and walked none. He allowed just one runner past first base, and none past second.
Maui, the U.S. West regional champion, won for a second straight day and improved to 2-1 with one game remaining in its Pool A schedule, on Thursday against Maine.
"I don't think I'm going to say too much to them about that game," Lee Kashiwamura said. "I'm just going to tell them we need to win, and see what happens."

From the Oncology Service (Drs Gündüz, C. L. Shields, J. A. Shields, and Mercado) and Pathology Department (Dr Eagle), Wills Eye Hospital, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pa.
An 89-year-old woman with recurrent conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma developed intraocular inflammation and an elevated fundus lesion that simulated choroidal detachment in her affected right eye. Intraocular invasion of squamous cell carcinoma was suspected and the eye was enucleated. Pathologic examination of the enucleated eye showed intraocular invasion by conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma that formed a suprauveal cyst lined with malignant epithelial cells. The patient developed an orbital recurrence 1 year later and underwent orbital exenteration. She died 2 years later from an unrelated cause. Conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma can exhibit intraocular invasion and produce an intraocular neoplastic cyst.
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma arises mainly in the salivary glands, but has also been noted in the upper respiratory tract and rarely in other sites.1 In the ocular region, it can affect the eyelid, conjunctiva, caruncle, lacrimal gland, lacrimal sac, and the paranasal sinuses.1 Conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma has a tendency to recur after excision and invade the eye and the orbit.1- 5 We describe a patient with recurrent conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma that demonstrated intraocular invasion and formed a large intraocular cyst lined by neoplastic cells.
An 89-year-old woman developed an exophytic papillary conjunctival lesion in her pseudophakic right eye, affecting the nasal bulbar and limbal conjunctiva between the 2-o'clock and 4-o'clock positions. The lesion was treated with wide excision and cryotherapy. Histopathologic examination revealed conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma with focal mucin production, consistent with mucoepidermoid carcinoma (Figure 1). She had a recurrence 3 months later (Figure 2), and was again treated with wide excision and cryotherapy. A wound leak through scleral dehiscence was discovered during the second surgery but was successfully treated with a patch graft of Tenon fascia and conjunctiva.
Conjunctival biopsy specimen shows conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma with focal mucin production (arrow) (periodic acid–Schiff, original magnification ×50).
Anterior segment view shows the recurrent mucoepidermoid carcinoma at the nasal conjunctiva and limbus (arrows).
The patient had ocular pain 2 months later. Ophthalmic examination disclosed a red epibulbar mass at the prior site. There was no wound leak or hypotony, but marked intraocular inflammation was found. An elevated fundus lesion resembling choroidal detachment was observed ophthalmoscopically through hazy, inflammed media. The mass was located inferiorly between the 5-o'clock and 7-o'clock positions and measured approximately 10×10 mm in basal diameter. B-scan ultrasonography showed a 9.5-mm-thick, acoustically hollow cystic lesion in the suprauveal space (Figure 3). A neoplastic cyst caused by intraocular invasion of the conjunctival malignant neoplasm was suspected based on these findings. The patient underwent modified enucleation with wide tenonectomy and conjunctivectomy to include the recurrent bulbar tumor.
B-scan ultrasonogram shows a 9.5-mm-thick, acoustically hollow intraocular cyst (arrow).
Results of a histopathologic examination showed that the conjunctival carcinoma had invaded the interior of the eye through a scleral wound. The tumor had grown posteriorly through a cyclodialysis cleft into the supraciliary and suprachoroidal space, forming a neoplastic cyst (Figure 4). The cyst was lined by tumor cells growing on the inner surface of the sclera and the outer surface of the detached uvea. No mucin production was identified intraocularly or in the tumor on the outer surface of the globe.

Tongues of tumor cells infiltrate choroidal stroma. Double arrows indicate retinal pigment epithelium; S, sclera. (hematoxylin-eosin, left, original magnification ×10, right, original magnification ×100).
The patient developed massive orbital recurrence 1 year after enucleation. An eyelid-splitting orbital exenteration was performed. Histopathologically, the tumor exhibited squamous cell carcinoma but no mucus-producing cells were evident. The patient had no further recurrence and died 2 years later of cardiac disease.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva generally occurs in older individuals with a history of excessive sun exposure. The tumor typically is located in the interpalpebral region near the corneoscleral limbus. Squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva tends to be superficially invasive. Deep intraocular invasion is uncommon.6- 8 Mucoepidermoid carcinoma, a variant of squamous cell carcinoma, is more locally aggressive. In a review of 12 cases of conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma from the English-language literature, 6 cases were found to have intraocular invasion and 4 cases had orbital involvement. No intraocular or orbital involvement was found in the remaining 2 patients.5 Intraocular invasion in conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma may simulate intraocular inflammation.8 Similarly, the intraocular invasion was heralded by marked intraocular inflammation in our patient.
The recommended treatment of conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma includes alcohol corneal epitheliectomy, wide surgical excision with tumor-free margins, and cryotherapy of the remaining uninvolved margins.9 Radiation treatment, either with β-irradiation or plaque radiotherapy, has been advocated to reduce the risk of recurrence in conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma.5
Our patient had 2 unusual features. In the reported cases of intraocular invasion by conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma, the tumor generally involved the anterior uvea as a solid mass and there was no evidence of a fundus lesion.1- 5 The occurrence of a neoplastic cyst in the suprauveal space that simulated a choroidal detachment, as in our patient, is exceptionally rare. In addition the intraocular invasion from conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma is generally characterized by the presence of mucus-secreting cells.1- 5 It has been suggested that intraocular enviromental factors may play a role in this type of tissue differentiation. The intraocular invasion in our patient was composed of only squamous epithelial cells without mucin production.
Recurrent conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma generally exhibits fewer mucus-secreting cells than the original tumor.1 The recurrent conjunctival and orbital tumors were composed entirely of squamous carcinoma cells in our patient.
A prior report3 noted that the scleral defect from prior surgery predisposed the eye to the development of intraocular invasion through recurrent conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma. The scleral defect observed during our patient's second conjunctival excision probably also played a role in the development of intraocular invasion. We believe that the defect was related to scleral necrosis from invasive tumor, as the margins were irregular and attenuated. Intraocular inflammatory signs in a patient with prior excision of conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma should raise suspicion of intraocular invasion by the tumor.

Have we hit the bottom or is this a dead cat bounce? I am not unloading any of my positon. I have actually added somewhat yesterday at $23.91/sh. Will only add more in the teens & will reinvest dividends. Thoughts anyone?
Sentiment: Buy
I was excited to reinvest the recent dividend this morning at $22. I'm up a buck twenty per share already.
Tough call here. I have loved the price point ever since the $26-$27 range. I bought some then, bought some more around $24 and finally bought some more this morning just below $22. If you have a long term view, this is a no brainer. I think the panic is subsiding and people are starting to realize it was overblown. I cant see it going much lower at this point. If it does go to around $20, I will get some more but I would guess the fall from these levels is not going to be much especially since SLW is still extremely profiting from silver at these levels.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
We hit these levels last year early on, and by year end we were at $40. You just have to be patient. I think yesterday may have marked this current low point, but you can never really be sure.
just a bounce. im a huge metals fan. u have to realize tho that right now everyone is piling into us investments because everywhere else sucks. and the dollar will appreciate. so for the rest of this year i would imagine people keep pulling out of metals. so id step aside. we will be in a downtrend for a bit yet. plus whenever u have huge dumps like we had people get spooked for a while. slw could see 15-17 by end of summer i think is possible, once people realize the us is no better than the rest of the world that will b the time when gold and silver pops big so whether that is the end of the year or another two years... gold and silver will see new highs before odumba is outta office tho. and u can take that too the bank. dividend is getting nice tho. maybe buy 1/3 of desired position in slw at 21/18/15 and avg in at 18 i qould think ud make 100% w/i a few years.. completely off subject check out stock llen... has had a lot of reisistance at these levels but could be on the break through has fluctuated b/w 1.80-2.30 for 6 months fundamentals are improving tho
Sources read here indicate that the big banks are getting desperate. The signature of this type of desperation is capital controls that limit the convertibility of currencies. Bank of Cyprus may need to cover losses by selling gold. However that's small potatoes in comparison to what's going on in the paper gold market. Reports read here indicate that this takedown represented 15% of worldwide production using naked short sales in the futures market to depress gold in an effort to buoy the dollar. This is nothing more than the destruction of PMs as a safe haven to give the impression of "value" to fiat currencies including efforts to increase stock market investment.
Meanwhile Japan is using the opportunity to depress the Yen to increase exports. And much of the rest of Asia is buying PMs to such an extent that there is unavailability at most sources in Asia. China is encouraging its people to buy PMs while here all efforts are meant to discourage it. Their ultimate aim is to replace the dollar as the "reserve" currency, with a lot of help from the Fed and US politicians.
Going forward there is little likelihood that central banks will back off in defense of fiat currencies, which means lower PM prices. Other efforts are to force people into stocks to take away investment in the PM markets, which will also depress the gold price. You can witness this going on as the mass media is trumpeting the rise in the stock indexes while ignoring any momentary positive rise in the PM markets.
Nobody is an expert here. We hope that it is credible experts we are relying on. Having said that, most "experts" seem to have totally missed the magnitude of this takedown.

Imagine a college football team switching to arena football rules in the middle of a season and you will have a clue what it's like for 15-a-side college rugby squads switching to rugby sevens as they hit town for this weekend's USA Sevens Collegiate Rugby Championships.
"It's a pretty difficult conversion, really," said University of California coach Jack Clark, in his 28th season at Berkeley. "Fifteen-a-side rugby is a pretty confrontational game; it's pretty vertical. You create space by going up the field, north and south. Seven-a-side is a lot more patient, looking for matchups where one guy can beat another guy. It's not complicated from a strategy and tactics standpoint."

Name: Brett Kucera aka Tony Starlight. I was talked into the persona in 1993. Some friends said, 'Why don't you get a tuxedo and we'll learn some lounge stuff, and you'll be Tony Starlight. The audience loved it, and I loved it, I had a regular Friday at Jimmy Mak's in 1995.
Instrument: Voice
Early Years/Education: I spent most of my young life in Hood River and Bozeman, Montana; after high school I lived in Eugene and Portland. When I was 15, I got a guitar, and my dream was to be a heavy metal guitarist. But I have no skill whatsoever to play a single-note anything. I loved music so much, though, I asked, How can I keep doing it? So learning how to sing allowed me to stay in music. I'm pretty much self-taught about anything. In the performances I'm doing now, I draw on singers and do mimicry of them. But for years I was trying to have my own voice and be a songwriter. It was fun but not commercially successful. In Eugene, I booked music at Delbert's Cafe. Basically, I created my own gig, a little coffee house music scene, mostly singer/songwriter, where I was able to book myself, which is what I'm doing now.
When I left Portland in 1999 and went to Los Angeles, I pretty much gave up music and just did theater. And I got started playing other characters, and I really jumped into the idea of doing different characters and different voices, and my show was basically a musical impressions and musical variety show. That's when my voice really strengthened. I tried to emulate other artists, and it caused me to spend a lot of time rehearsing and develop my singing voice in my 30s. In my 20s I floundered around trying to figure out what my own voice was, but I discovered my own voice was doing many voices. I decided to finally embrace what my skills were. What works for me is to go with the things I have a proclivity for.
Improv is the root of jazz. You have to have a basic skill set, but once you have that, you're free to stray from that. What I learned as a performer is the art of improvising. You have to have the acting and singing skills, but you have to take a leap and be in the moment and react to who's there – that's what the great jazz players do.
Tony Starlight's Supperclub and Lounge: I moved back to Portland in 2006 with the intention of opening this club. I knew I needed to have a job, and I knew how to run a bar and restaurant and book music. The kind of show I wanted to do, there weren't any clubs for people who really want to watch a show and be engaged in it. I don't want to see a band in the middle of a restaurant, I want to see them on a stage. I understand why people don't do it – it's hard to turn a profit. If I didn't own the club and perform there, I don't think I'd have the passion to keep it going.
I love going to work every day because of the customers, staff and musicians I've gotten to be friends with. I've been surprised at how many wonderful people I'm surrounded by, and how much we root for each other. I'm really thrilled. And I want to apologize to the jazz community for me being Musician of the Month.
We've got series going with Andrew Oliver now. Gretchen Rumbaugh has been doing a cabaret series for over a year. We had a series with the PDX Jazz Festival. We're pretty much a vocalist's club. You can't be all things to all people. So many of the vocalists come out and watch each other and connect each other to various musicians
Performing: I do all the Rat Pack Guys, I love to do Tom Jones and Neil Diamond. I do a lot of other people in smaller sections – we've got a tribute to the Copacabana where I do Mel Torme, Billy Eckstine and Tony Bennett. Some are serious impressions and some are characterizations for comedic purposes. And stuff we do in short snippets from the rock realm. I have an amazing band that works with me regularly – Sam Foulger (drums), Arick Gouwerok (bass) and Reece Marshburn (piano and arranger) — he helped me take this to another level. I always had ideas, but I never had someone like him who can write arrangements for a whole band. He can write arrangements, rehearse the band, and I can show up and it's ready. So any success I've had is due to Reece.
And the advent of YouTube allowed me to watch and study people's movements – a big part of doing impressions is to have their movements, to mimic their body language. I cut my teeth on doing song parodies – like 'Weird Al Does the Standards.' At first I didn't want to do the impressions because a lot of those guys take themselves so seriously. "Bob Jacobs IS Neil Diamond!!" But I've brought a comic edge to everything and we're kind of lampooning it. Now I'm enjoying it, whereas before I was afraid to go down that road. And the people enjoy it.
Most Satisfying Experience: When the audience is full of people you've never met before, and they want more and love what you're doing. It's one thing when you fill the place with friends and family; it's another level when the general public wants to hear you.
Favorite Recordings: Dean Martin – "Live at the Sands"; Louis Armstrong – "Satch Plays Fats"; King Cole Trio – "The Complete Capitol Recordings"; Tony Bennett - "Perfectly Frank"; "Sammy Davis Jr. Sings, Laurindo Almeida Plays"; Bing Crosby - "The CBS Studio Recordings"; Neil Diamond – "Hot August Night"; Frank Sinatra – "The Concert Sinatra"; Tom Waits – "Small Change"; Judas Priest – "Screaming For Vengeance."
Gigs (as a performer): The Neil Diamond Show, Nov. 4; the Tony Starlight Variety Show, Nov. 18; Dean Martin Tribute, Nov. 26; Tony Starlight Christmas Show – every Wed. in December.
Future Plans: [As a performer,] I'd like to make a record. Since what I do is cover songs, the licensing is expensive. Sometimes we go through 10 songs in one segment. [As a club owner] Overall, I'd like a little better place that has a better perceived parking situation. If you're walking past a bunch of other open businesses, I guess people don't mind walking a block and a half, but I guess when I'm the only open business, it feels like a mile.
Other: Bo and Barbara Ayars have been a big part of the club – they'll be in my Christmas show and play in several shows I do. Bo is an encyclopedia of the music industry: he worked with everyone from Elvis to Barbara Streisand, he was Liberace's arranger and conductor for 12 years, he did the Radio City Christmas Show for five seasons. They're what I wanted at the club – a rehearsed, professional presentation. They have really elevated the club and made it what I dreamed it could be but never thought it would be.

• Over 8000 foreign-born children, almost all from third-world countries, are adopted by citizens of the United States each year. Most primary care practitioners do not have enough experience to evaluate and manage their problems efficiently. We reviewed the medical care of the foreign-born adoptees followed up in a single pediatric group practice. The 128 children arrived from one of eight countries in Asia or Latin America at ages ranging from 1 month to 10 years; 57% were female. The median duration of follow-up was 20 months. The most common problems identified included deficient immunizations (37%), intestinal parasites (29%), emotional or behavioral(problems (22%), skin disease (16%), estimated age (12%), scabies and/or lice (10%), and congenital anomalies (10%). Twenty-one other classes of problems were identified, including developmental delay, lactose intolerance, vision and hearing deficits, and chronic hepatitis B carrier status. At arrival or within one month, 49% of the children had acute infectious diseases, including upper respiratory tract infection, otitis media, rubeola, varicella, and mumps. Nineteen percent of the children underwent surgical procedures ranging from circumcision to cleft lip-palate repair; 46% of these children were never screened for hepatitis B. Fourteen percent were hospitalized at least once, 5% within the first month after arrival. We developed a simple protocol to screen foreign-born adopted children, allowing rapid identification of treatable problems at the least cost and inconvenience to the family. Thirty-six percent of the families made at least one preadoption visit, permitting an explanation of the protocol and potential problems before the child's arrival.

New Museum | Español | Blog | Search:
Miami Science Museum is beginning to prototype and develop a new and innovative method to engage and inspire people of all ages with how scientists make discoveries about aging and the brain. Working with the University of Miami's Center on Aging, we are developing this exciting new exhibit in partnership with local elders who bring a unique perspective to the process.
In the Staying Sharp exhibit, you become a subject of a real-life experiment. By completing a simple questionnaire and simple physical tasks, you'll help scientists understand how the brain ages and how it relates to physical fitness. You'll also have the opportunity to explore how physical and mental exercise may help keep your brain in peak condition, no matter what your age.
Accompanying this experiment will be a number of graphic panels where you can explore the myths and facts of mental agility and alertness, and find brain changing resources.
This exhibit sponsored by a MetLife Foundation
Partnership for Intergenerational Learning grant. MetLife is a proud sponsor of
the Miami Science Museum.

FireCore's Seas0nPass has been just updated to provide an untethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2 running the latest 5.0.2 (iOS 5.1.1) firmware. Released yesterday, this minor software update for the 2nd and 3rd generation Apple TV only includes an Australia-specific issue with Parental Controls, no new features have been added.
new apple tv jailbreak
Seas0nPass jailbreaking tool has been updated today to provide an untethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2 running the latest 5.0.1 (iOS 5.1.1) firmware. All of the most popular Apple TV plugins, like XBMC, Plex, Media Player, nitoTV, Rowmote, Last.fm, Couch Surfer and Weather are currently supported on 5.0.1 (Remote HD and Overflow are not yet working and require an author update for 5.0.1 compatibility). The new Apple TV 2 untethered jailbreak has been successfully tested by nitoTV.
Seas0nPass jailbreaking tool for Apple TV has been updated to version 0.8.4 that supports a tethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2 5.0.1 (iOS 5.1.1). Released this Thursday, Apple TV 5.0.1 (9B206f) adds HD previews for TV shows and movies in the iTunes store and brings fixes to Netflix, AirPlay and Home Sharing.
FireCore, the company behind Seas0nPass jailbreaking tool for Apple TV, said on its blog that the work on the jailbreak for Apple TV 3 and the untethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2 5.0 is still underway:
So you caved in and bought the new 1080p Apple TV 3 and were horrified to discover that you cannot jailbreak it yet. Perhaps you were fortunate enough to find your older Apple TV (1st or 2nd gen) sitting in a dark damp corner of your closet underneath your old PlayStation. Regardless of which device you are fortunate enough to have, you will need one simple skill in order to take full advantage of your XBMC experience.
Just in case you were unaware, XBMC has finally released an Eden copy of XBMC for your old Apple TV (1st generation). Though this 1st gen device is not the easiest to load XBMC on to, it is by no means impossible. If you simply follow these steps, from beginning to end, you will be enjoying unlimited multimedia goodness in no time.

text: Those of you who have seen the trailers for Iron Man 3 (see the most recent one HERE) know that Tony Stark will go head to head with the villain known as The Mandarin in the upcoming sequel film (due out next month). Today we get to check out a short clip of footage from the film that features Stark (played by Robert Downey, Jr.) relaying a message to The Mandarin. Clearly, Tony is angry with his opponent and he is calling him out. I have a feeling I know what will come from Stark's challenge but … we won't know for sure until we see the movie in full. Check out the embed above to see this clip and then mark your calendars, y'all. Iron Man 3 will hit theaters on May 3.0

Hi All,
We are looking for single sign on utility for PLSQL or oracle GUI developer tool. So we can assign UserB all the select permission on UserA schema (Current & future objects).
Currently, we have select Role UserA which we assigned to UserB and we use => (alter session set current_schema = UserA ) But we create lot of new objects (tables, view, mview...) and delete old ones very often and every time we have to assign the role select permissions.
Is there any easy way to do that?
Thanks In advance

Juventus will celebrate today at Villar Perosa, Juventus A will face Juventus B. Many fans are present and there is the whole management, starting from the CEO Beppe Marotta, who spoke to Sky Sport: "Vidal is fine, he resumed working and the knee is fully functional. He's at disposal of the team. There have been the usual rumours about him, but he has never been put on the transfer market and there has never been a negotiation. These are the usual commonplaces created by the media that have no real confirmations. Buffon? We are extremely grateful towards him. There is a blank contract ready, we'll meet when he wants to. He'll stay here until he wants. Pogba? We started negotiating with his agent, we hope to reach a positive conclusion in a short period of time."

My passion for wildlife was stimulated in my teenage years, mainly thanks to my Mum (a biology teacher) who made me look at the world differently and being inspired by writers such as Paul Colinvaux. This early interest developed into biological research in my 20s, when I did practical conservation work in places such as the Comores and Mongolia.
Today, any free time I have I spend pottering around the flatlands of East Anglia or escaping to our hut on the Northumberland coast looking for wildlife and castles with my wife and children.
I studied Biological Sciences at Oxford and Conservation at UCL, and worked at Wildlife and Countryside Link before spending five years as Conservation Director at Plantlife.
I joined the RSPB as Head of Government Affairs in 2004, became Head of Sustainable Development in 2006, before becoming Conservation Director in 2011.
I've had a bit of a nomadic week. On Tuesday night I was having a bath in a hotel room and Newsnight was twittering away on the telly in the background. When I woke up this morning I had a vague recollection that I'd heard something about the Prime Minister shaking a tree and some angry pickles doing away with habitats.
Perhaps it was a dream. But, watching Newsnight [43.28 mins] again, and reading the Financial Times, it is clear that we might be in the middle of a nightmare. At a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday the Prime Minister and the Chancellor were reported as putting pressure on the Communities Secretary Eric Pickles and Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman to speed up reform of planning and the Habitat Regulations to kick-start the economy.
Defra has been running a rational review of the Habitat Regulations to determine whether the Chancellor is right that they pose a "ridiculous cost to British business". The RSPB, other NGOs and developers have all engaged with this process in a professional and constructive fashion. We've taken a bit of time out from our day jobs - from saving nature - to share our experience and considerable expertise.
I am convinced that Defra will conclude that rather than being a constraint on growth, the regulations provide huge opportunities for inward investment by creating fabulous places for people to live and work. What's more, they help sustain crucial ecosystem services (including supply of raw water, flood defence, carbon storage and places for enjoyment), that we all need (especially pertinent in face of the current drought).
The idea that we gold-plate (implement more than is necessary) is just wrong. If anything we are underperforming – languishing at the bottom of the EU league table of land area covered by protected areas and we still have no comprehensive marine protected area network.
The vast majority of planning applications are unaffected by the Directives. For example, the RSPB commented on less than 0.04% of all planning applications in England between 2001-2010 (about 217 a year). Very few of these resulted in RSPB objections.
But there are some anomalies and areas for improvement which should deliver some win-wins (for both nature and for business) and we have been sharing our ideas with Defra. I'll come back to this in due course.
I always felt that the implementation of the Habitat Regulations would stand up to scrutiny. They guide smart development and reject bad development. On Tuesday, Mr Pickles rightly rejected an application to build more houses next to Talbot Heath which is a site of European importance for heathland birds such as nightjar and Dartford warbler.
Equally, I always feared that the pressure that the Government is under to speed up recovery may lead to some irrational conclusions.
This is the nightmare we want to avoid.

If I won the Galaxy S III I would give it to my brother for his birthday. He's been wanting a new phone and this phone is exacly what he wants.
381. arenapirate (Posts: 14; Member since: 22 Nov 2012)
"What is the first thing you'll do with your new smartphone, in case you win one?"
If its the GS3, I'll probably be setting up a google account followed by gmail. Then I'd install swiftkey, whatsapp, pulse, aldiko, astro, alarm clock xtreme, amazon appstore, opera, evernote & msecure. After that I'd play with the camera.
If it's the iphone, probably download a bunch of games i've been wanting to try out.
382. randeepsamra (Posts: 29; Member since: 03 Mar 2012)
I will fill it to brim with apps. Yup install apps and use it.
383. mphonearena (Posts: 1; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
The first thing I would do if I won one of those phones would is of course use it. I have visited this website for about 3 years now; but due to bad circumstances, I do not own a smartphone. Though I know everything about smartphones and such. Winning one of them would be amazing!.
384. lorensogarcia (Posts: 1; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)

First thing I would do with an SGS3 or iPhone is give it to my mom. Her HTC Desire quit on her a while back and she is now having to use her old Samsung flip phone. She deserves to have a good reliable phone.

I would enjoy the smell of a new phone out of the box for few minutes. Then of course check its sratch and drop resistance.
397. gwobbles (Posts: 3; Member since: 20 Nov 2012)
I would sell them.
399. afnanrahman (Posts: 15; Member since: 09 Dec 2011)

400. JeebusSK (Posts: 1; Member since: 26 Mar 2013)
If I Won, I would hope to win the SIII and I would find all the apps I couldn't run before because my curent smartphone was (is) too slow or weak to push the latest apps.
401. amitbiswal1 (Posts: 1; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
It's not fair, what will happen to global members of Phonearena.....why it is restricted to US members only....it feels left out..!!!

Keep it as a backup phone :D
405. cburgess40 (Posts: 1; Member since: 26 Mar 2013)
Well I never won anything before so this would be great. Honestly, I would want a Samsung S III but I would sell it since its on Sprint and buy it for AT &T as I'm on an unlimited plan. Unfortunately, Sprint doesn't work well in my area :-(
406. projektorboy (Posts: 11; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
I'm aiming to get an SGS3 because I'd like to use it as a development device and cook up my first ROM
407. fistigons (Posts: 330; Member since: 11 Feb 2012)
I would install Talk a Tone or Groove ip and call my mom from afghanistan since all we have is wifi here.
408. itsdeepak4u2000 (Posts: 3718; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
Insert my sim card and will make a call after starting it...
409. ix3ph09 (Posts: 7; Member since: 13 Feb 2012)
I would give it to someone as a present since I don't have Sprint.
410. jian9007 (Posts: 22; Member since: 20 Nov 2012)
After the obvious (charge it), I would make some calls to see how the call quality is. I actually still talk on my phone so it's the first thing I check.
411. corbx (Posts: 1; Member since: 26 Mar 2013)
Since I'm already on Sprint I would add a new line and make a good friend happy.
412. millercory89 (Posts: 3; Member since: 16 Oct 2011)
If it's an Iphone I win, first thing I'll have to do is learn a completely new OS/interface....guess I might need to get used to not having a back button!
413. AFnerdTP (unregistered)
414. zonam (Posts: 20; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
first thing i do is install my favorite apps... currents, google maps, drive etc.
415. brokenchains (Posts: 17; Member since: 28 Nov 2012)
Regardless of which phone, if I win this contest I will take a picture of my old and busted phone with the new hotness. I will then bluetooth that picture to my old phone, display it on the screen, and boot that mofo off a bridge - all just to shame it before I dump it.
Or more likely is I'll just switch the new phone onto my plan and put the old one in my closet.
416. unclespoon (Posts: 1; Member since: 26 Mar 2013)
I would either root or jailbreak the phone and load tons of custom stuff to make it mine! It would be glorious! Then I would use it to share your website on facebook ;)
417. xXMAKESHIFTXx (Posts: 38; Member since: 28 Jul 2012)
The first thing I would do if I won the iPhone 5 is download Gmail! Oh pick me, pick me!!
418. chopinsky (Posts: 3; Member since: 17 Dec 2012)
The first thing is to set up email accounts, sync contacts and download apps.
419. nodnarb (Posts: 35; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
i would download a ton of apps and test the processor while at high performance. then compare it to my current phone and see which is better.

Great idea - wish I could do that in the office! I do the best I can by sitting properly (neutral spine, everyone!), getting up frequently and doing lots of stretches...
After experiencing some nagging lower neck/upper back pain (I know, at nineteen?!? What the?!?), I decided to completely stop sitting at my laptop. I put it on my dresser and have been standing ever since. I found this article on the matter kinda interesting..
Hey why not?

Great idea - wish I could do that in the office! I do the best I can by sitting properly (neutral spine, everyone!), getting up frequently and doing lots of stretches...
Another option is to sit on an exercise ball. I got one last week, and now am using it most of the day. I find it's helpful to switch between the ball and my chair. Already, it's been very helpful for the restless legs I have every afternoon.
Apparently, there are pros and cons, but it's hard not to "follow the money" and wonder if those against are fearful that sales of expensive ergonomic furniture might drop off if people began using inexpensive exercise balls in the office.
Here's a good link in favor of substituting an exercise ball for your chair: http://www.gearfire.net/10-reasons-to-use-an-exercise-ball-as-your-chair/
Some are not so favorable: http://www.ergoweb.com/news/detail.cfm?id=1091
The police dispatchers that work for the gov here, their whole workstations have the ability to raise (they have like 3 monitors and all sorts of crazy stuff) so they can stand when they do all their insane call taking.
I used to have my laptop on a bookshelf at one point and would just stand there and surf. It was pretty comfy.
I grok, therefore I am.

Count me among those who consider fall to be their favorite season.
I love most everything about it: the cooler temperatures that make a steaming cup of coffee more comforting, the trees that shed their summer green to show off their true colors and the kids who will soon be trick or treating in hopes of mooching Halloween candy.
To me, fall is the reward for being made to suffer through steamy West Virginia summers. And, it serves as my annual reminder of why I choose to remain here. However, I could do without one thing: deer.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not advocating they be eradicated from our landscape. That would run counter to West Virginia's hunting tradition.
The fact is, if I didn't fear shooting off a toe or two, I'd gladly join the hunt when deer season starts next month, especially if it keeps just one buck from playing chicken with my car.
Deer and cars don't play well together. And, I've had a few reminders of that, lately.
For one thing, dead deer litter the interstate along the route I take to my job in Washington, D.C. I haven't hit one this year, but I have been forced to run-over a carcass or two when they can't be avoided.
Deer collisions have also been a topic of discussion among Journal Junction callers this week. And just a few days ago, State Farm Insurance came out with its annual list of states where drivers are most likely to meet a deer up close and personal.
Where did West Virginia rank?
Right at the top for the sixth year in a row.
And then there's Donna the Deer Lady. Her conversation with a couple of radio announcers in Fargo, North Dakota, has gone viral on the internet because of what she said about deer crossing signs. She apparently thought they were a signal - to deer - that they could cross the road instead of a warning to drivers to be vigilant. As (logic defying) proof, she said she's had a few accidents involving deer near such signs. Her solution was to have them moved to less congested areas, where it would be safer for deer to cross.
To be fair, in a follow-up interview Donna says she knows better now and is letting her notoriety roll off her shoulders.
When I first heard the initial interview, I couldn't decide if she was serious. Now that she appears to be owning up to it, I'm inclined to believe it to be a simple case of just not getting it - that her intuitive thinking skills somehow failed.
It happens to all of us. Who hasn't thought they knew the lyrics to a favorite song only to be embarrassed when caught singing the wrong words?
Okay, maybe it's not like that at all - the magnitude of it, anyway. Such moments aren't generally recorded and spread all over the Internet.
In any case, I would hazard to guess that if you've never had a deer leap into your windshield, you at least know someone who has. And if you don't, know that you're reading a column written by someone who's made it through such a collision in one piece. It's part of the shared experience of being a West Virginian.
That's why I'm willing to try just about anything to get deer to stay out of traffic - even to the point of putting up signs and fooling myself into thinking they can understand them.

It was only a little bit surprising when it was publicly announced a few weeks ago that rap star Lil Wayne (real name: Dwayne Carter) was going to receive a jail sentence (for weapons possession) on Feb. 9. He did a "farewell" concert in his native New Orleans.
Wayne is just the latest in a long string of highly influential rap stars who have had to do time. You would think that this would be hurtful to their careers but, as disgusting as it is, serving time does not have much effect on a gangsta rap star's popularity. In fact, it might even increase it.
The list of rap stars who have been jailed, for an array of offenses, is long and continues to grow. In addition to Lil Wayne, that list includes T.I., Lil' Kim, Shyne, The Game, Mystikal, DMX, Tupac Shakur, Foxy Brown, Busta Rhymes and more.
As sad as it is to have to admit, so many young African-Americans — especially males — look up to people who are essentially hoodlums, and being a "thug," in those circles, is considered a plus.
If Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were here today, he might be in tears. But, as Rosa Parks said so succinctly, "You can't expect kids to know what they haven't been taught.
Despite the progress we as a people have made — including the country electing a Black president — we are bogged down by a lot of extremely serious, largely self-induced problems. It's painful to accept but, among young Blacks, street violence, gunfire and even murder have lost their ability to shock — and that is an indictment of our community and society at large.
I am among those trying really hard to think of reasons to believe there is hope. Decent, intelligent, conscience-driven Black people have got to do something because the lowlife element is pulling us all down.
ON THE PLUS side, Darius Rucker is to be applauded for being the first Black artist to win the prestigious New Artist of the Year award from the Country Music Association, based on his megahit album "Learn to Live." Rucker is the first Black superstar in country music since the groundbreaking Charley Pride in the 1960s.
Granted, most Black people are not into country music, but African-Americans are not monolithic. There are Black people who like every kind of music to one degree or another. My music collection includes R&B, jazz, pop, blues, rock, country, reggae, gospel, classical, hip-hop, show tunes and more. It's all good.
Most people are not aware of the fact that Chris Williams, the brother of actress, singer, dancer and former Miss America Vanessa Williams, is an accomplished actor. His film work includes "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Dodgeball." Chris' most recent credit is an appearance on the hit TV series "Ugly Betty" in which Vanessa has a starring role.
New albums are on the way from Usher ("Raymond v. Raymod," Feb. 16), Toni Braxton ("Pulse," March 2), Jamie Foxx ("Body," March 2) and a best-of collection by Detroit's own Was (Not Was).
Jamie Foxx, to the surprise of many, is actually a classically trained musician. He received a scholarship to the United States International University (interestingly, located in Kenya), where he studied classical music and composition. And you may not have known that Foxx's name is actually Eric Bishop.
