Dezeen and MINI Frontiers: augmented reality technology will revolutionise the way we navigate cities, says Andy Millns of 3D production company Inition in the second part of our interview.
Augmented reality devices that are tiny enough to "sit in your eye" will soon add layers of digital information over the real world, says Millns.
Users will be able to see whole cities with information layered on top of them via tiny devices placed in the eye, completely changing their urban experience, he claims.
"When we can track natural features in the city we can [then] bring in all sorts of information layered on to the urban view." This could include information related to travel, shopping, the proximity of friends and so on.
The adoption of this technology will be helped by the second major development Millns predicts.
"Most augmented reality so far [works] using a two-dimensional flat marker," says Millns, referring to 2D-printed marker patterns that interface with digital models on devices like iPads to render augmented reality views.
This tracking method limits augmented reality to fairly rudimentary usages – but not for long.
"In the future we won't need [to use] two-dimensional specific markers, the augmented reality app will just track the natural environment", he says.
Couple this with more sophisticated viewing technologies, and the use of augmented reality will soar, Millns claims: "When we have devices that just sit in your eye and it's not obvious you are wearing them – that's when augmented reality will really take off."
Today's augmented reality relies on an intermediary device such as a smartphone or tablet, on which the user sees an "augmented" version of the world.
"One example of using augmented reality that people might be familiar with is using a tablet," says Millns. "We use a live image via the camera and we layer on objects to make them appear as if they are really there."
This technology is used at Dezeen's Imagine Shop at Selfridges that features two installations developed by Inition, an augmented-reality watch store and a walkaround digital model of Zaha Hadid's £300 million superyacht.
The augmented reality Dezeen Watch Store pop-up allows customers to virtually try on a range of watches. By wrapping a paper "marker" around their wrist and looking at a screen, customers can see the watches modelled on their wrists in real time.
Customers can also explore an augmented reality scale model of Zaha Hadid Architects' 90-metre Jazz superyacht using a tablet computer.
By pointing an iPad at a printed marker resting on a platform, they can view and walk round the yacht as if it was really there.
Based in Shoreditch, east London, Inition specialises in using new technologies such as virtual and augmented reality to create a range of experiences and installations.
Inition has built augmented reality models for several developers to help promote their buildings as well as architects, including Zaha Hadid for whom they developed a model which explored the effects of different airflows and lighting on the building.
We interviewed Andy Millns in Inition's Shoreditch studio. The music featured in the movie is a track by Floyd Lavine. You can listen to Lavine's music on Dezeen Music Project.
In our first movie looking at the interface between design and technology, Andy Millns of 3D production company Inition claims virtual reality will soon become almost indistinguishable from the real world. Larger version + story »
Hurry up the future! We have our own baby in this niche – eyesee – We place 3D models in their environment in real time. You can even walk inside and look out of the windows and lots, lots more.

The studies about Denver keep coming in. The percentage of "unchurched" residents is in the 90s, says one. Denver is one of the top 15 "post-Christian cities" says another. The response of the greater Christian community to these frightening statistics is predictable: "We need to plant more churches!" And so they come. They come from all over to plant churches. Some make it; many do not.
For more than a decade Urban Skye has been addressing the "frightening statistics" in a different way. While the church-planting instinct will continue (and thank God it does), we seek to expand the Church's vision of how to grow the Kingdom of God in a city like Denver. Our response is to plant pastors, not just churches!
The reality is, most of our "spiritual, but not religious" friends and neighbors will not look to the church for guidance, at least not initially. That does not mean they lack all faith; they just need trusted guides for their journey. It is a new generation of these trusted guides that Urban Skye was created to serve.
We are "faith entrepreneurs": non-traditional pastors, missionaries, disciplers, advocates and counselors. Urban Skye provides a home from which we can explore our creative calling as an extension of the Church for the sake of the Kingdom.
If you would like to financially support Urban Skye or one of our faith entrepreneurs, you can DONATE HERE.
Cari Jenkins
With over 20 years of relational ministry inside and outside of the local church context, Cari uses her gifts and experience to make the Kingdom of God tangible through relationship as she is a pastor to those without a pastor.
It is in partnership with Urban Skye that Cari seeks to share the story of Jesus with others and help individuals and groups grow in relationship with Him for their formation and the transformation of the places where they live, work and play.
Her mission is accomplished by...
- Praying for those who do not know Jesus and those who lead in some capacity.
- Being available relationally.
- Creating experiences for individuals to connect with others and the story of God.
- Creating opportunities for individuals to listen to and learn about life in Jesus.
- Encouraging individuals in their giftedness, vocation and call to live in Jesus for the transformation of the places where they live, work, and play
- Weaving together relationships with others around the city, country and world to encourage, share friends, build bridges, share resources, expand learning experiences, and create opportunity and partnerships for Kingdom good.
- Encouraging connectedness with the Body of Christ by belonging to a family of faith

prestigious award named after Dr. Philipose Mar Theophilus Metropolitan will be bestowed upon the great personality Dr. P.C. Alexander, former Governor of Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, former principal secretary to the Late Mrs. Indira Gandhi and the Indian High Commissioner in UK". His Grace welcomed the dignitaries, and each and every one present there and ended the welcome speech with the following touching words "Sri Sachin Tendulkar, the great cricketer after completing the 50th century looked up holding the bat and stretching the hand addressed his father. He said – "Dad this is for you". This blessed gathering especially me, have a special responsibility to address two persons – whom I consider as my Father Figure – Dr. Mar Theophilus – my Spiritual Father, Dr. Alexander, who is a father figure to me. I utter dad unto them both- this is for you."
Rev. Fr. Abraham Joseph has presented a brief report on the initial days and growth of St. Mary's school during the past 25 years. The school had started with 60 students 25 years before and the same has now more than 6,500 regular students till standard 12 and 250 poor students from the slum of Turbhe, near BARC, who are attending the night school till 7th std. These children are provided with free uniforms, books, fees and one time meal.
His Holiness in the speech of blessing said with utmost humility, that the felicitation and respect are given to the Catholicose of the East and not to His Holiness Marthoma Baselios Paulose II. Even if it was some one else, the same felicitation would have been given. The Holy Father appreciated the charity schemes of the Diocese altogether especially expressed the happiness to see the growth of the school during the past 25 years and so also the growth of the Diocese. His Holiness has specifically appreciated the charities by the school for the slum children. Bava Thirumeni expressed the joy that the road adjacent to the Diocesan Centres of Orthodox, Marthoma and other institutions was named as "Mar Theophilus Marg". The credit for getting the same goes to our present metropolitan, H. G. Geevarghese Mar Coorilos, who worked hard for getting the name approved by the Navi Mumbai Municipality.
Diocese has started an award in the name of late lamented His Grace Dr. Philipos Mar Theophilus as this is His Grace's birth centenary year. When it was decided, the task of finding out the most ideal recipient was entrusted with (Retd) Justice Benjamin Koshy and Rev. Fr. K. M. George and they both came out successful with the right decision. Justice Benjamin Koshy, Retired chief Justice of Patna High court and chairman of Appellate Tribunal, gave a short speech about the recipient. He revealed that it was easy for both of them to take a final decision, as they got the name of the former Maharasthra and Tamil Nadu Governor. Mr. P. C. Alexander. Mr. P. C. Alexander could not attend the function to receive the award due to his ill health, but his son Mr. Ashok Alexander, represented him and received the citation and the cash award of one lakh rupees. Mr. Ashok Alexander humbly returned the cash award as a return gift, as per his great father's desire and instruction, to use the same for giving an award to the student who excel in different fields. His announcement was received by the audience with a thundering applause.
Mr. P. C. Alexander has sent his written message and the same was read by Mr. Jacob Varghese – Education Board Member. A part of the same is quoting here- "His Grace Philipose Mar Theophilus's life was one dedicated to the service of the church till the last breath of his life. His personal contribution to the development of the theological seminary at Kottayam to its present status as one of the most eminent Theological Christian institutions in India and for guiding the Bombay Diocese to rise to its present level of one of the most active Dioceses in the church will always be remembered by the members of the church with gratitude. I consider it a great honour at being selected as the first recipient of this award. I am also grateful to His Grace Mar Geevarghese Coorilos whom I had known closely from his days as Rev. George Kurien, vicar of our church in London where I served in the mid 1980s as India's High Commissioner. The Bombay diocese is particularly dear to me as I was a member of the diocese for the entire period of 9 ½ years when I was Governor of this State and had participated in the functions of many parishes in Maharashtra."
Mr. Ashok Alexander in his thanksgiving reply speech mentioned about an incident which his father has told him. Once while his father was the Maharashtra Governor, he was traveling to Pune from Bombay in a Government helicopter, and at the airport he came to know that our former metropolitan late lamented Dr. Philipos Mar Theophilus was at the airport lounge. Knowing this, Mr. P. C. Alexander went to Thirumeni. While going back Thirumeni accompanied him. Mr. P. C. Alexander felt bad that Thirumeni is accompanying him and politely requested Thirumeni to go back. Then Thirumeni replied that "it is my pride to see one of Orthodox Church's son traveling in a Government helicopter and it gives joy to me to see him off".
Rev. Fr. K. M. George's felicitation speech was a thought provoking one and as usual an awesome one. He too has given a brief report about how they selected Mr. P. C. Alexander as the right person for the award. Respected Achan expressed his joy to see such a big gathering for the reception of His Holiness.
His Grace Yuhanon Mar Chrisostomos during the felicitation speech said the award was given to the right person as Mr. P. C. Alexander was Theophilos Thirnieni's affectionate 'Kunju'.
State Excise Minister, Mr. Ganesh Naik who is a Navi Mumbaite, is always happy to be in the functions arranged/hosted by His Grace Mar Coorilos and he expressed the same in his speech. He did not hide his admiration and adoration to our Metropolitan, Mar Coorilose. He has expressed his appreciation towards the Christian community, as the Orthodox Christian Educational Institutions are playing a major and remarkable role in Maharashtra. He also thanked the school authorities for the charities they are doing for the slum children.
Prizes were distributed to the following out standing students:- Best athlete from the school level – Vishal Salian, best athlete from the college section -Ria Jain, best St. Marian Harshata Naik, SSC Topper Kupal Sneha Bhimrao who scored 96.91%, HSC commerce topper – Raikar Kajal C. scoring 87.16%, science stream topper -Rane Ameya Ashok who scored 95.67%. Best House is Yellow House and the captains Abhinandan Mishra and girls' captain Khyati Shah proudly received the trophy for the house. The assistant Head Mistress, Ms. Geeta Khatal, was felicitated for her talented and sincere years she had put in for St. Mary's school for the past 25 years.
The school magazine was released by His Holiness and the Jubilee memento was released by His Excellency. Also the ex-principals, Rev. Fr. Thomas Varghese, Rev. Fr. T. E. Isaac were felicitated. They thankfully mentioned that Rev. Fr. Lazurus was also one of the former principals.
His Excellency, the Governor addressed the audience, especially the students first, in English and later to the audience in Malayalam. He said the Indian Population has a majority of youth and they are the future builders of country. Hence they have to be given the best education and the educational institutions must keep this in mind to frame the best students. Governor appreciated the commendable contribution of the Diocese in the field of education as well as in the field of charity. He has expressed his joy to know that Mr. P. C. Alexander is the recipient of the award as Mr. P. C. Alexander himself is an institution and not a person. When he started his speech in Malayalam, the joyful crowd gave a loud applause. Governor expressed his joy to attend such Keralite functions. With much humour he has added that wherever we go, we find a 'Malayalee' and the fact is that being brilliant they are excelling in every walk wherever they are and they are very good in getting adjusted with the culture and practices of the place where they live.
Mementos were presented to all the chief guests. Dr. C. J. Samuel, Director of Diocesan Education Board thanked one and all who attended the function. Dr. Sunny Pariyaram – Mumbai Diocese Sunday School Director and St. Mary's School teacher Ms. Saroj Tiwari did a laudable and wonderful compeering which added magnificence to the functions. The functions ended with the variety entertainment programmes presented by the highly talented school children. We could clearly make out the pains/strains taken by the teachers and students to present such creditable/commendable programmes to make the functions a grand success. All the ones who worked hard to make these two functions to a memorable one can be proud that they have succeeded 100% to attain their aim. Praying for one and all of them to strengthen them more and more to work selflessly for the growth of the Diocese and of the school.

Feminism, Masculinities, and Multiple Identities
Martha Albertson Fineman
Emory University School of Law
Nevada Law Journal, Vol. 13, No. 101, 2013
Emory Legal Studies Research Paper No. 12-238
Masculinities scholarship could be seen as distinct from and complementary to feminist theory — an independent and parallel companion theory, developed by men. In this regard, from a feminist's perspective masculinities scholarship might be thought of as ethnography, helpfully providing insights into the operations and assumptions of a distinct masculine culture. This approach would seem to validate the notion that there are significant differences between men's and women's experiences and perspectives, and consideration of both is necessary to form a complete legal theory picture. Feminist legal theory and masculinities theory are thus seen as both contrasting and complementary in nature.
On the other hand, masculinities scholarship can be understood as providing the basis for a critique of feminist legal theory. This approach begins with the allegation that feminist legal theory generally and incorrectly treats men as a monolithic group when there is in fact a multiplicity of male identities. Masculinities scholarship, in this framing, could be categorized as the male-focused companion to critiques that have been made over the past thirty years that feminist legal theory is excluding and essentializing. It is this understanding of the significance of masculinities to feminist legal theory that prompted this Essay.

This is one man's humble opinion on things the current Nets players on the roster should be working on this summer.
I'm going to try to stay away from obvious things, but in some cases it may be too obvious to ignore.
This is in no specific order, but we're only going to talk about guys who are coming back.

Former Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel said late Tuesday she will endorse Rep. Jack Kingston's Senate bid.
Handel's endorsement will come at a Kingston event at 1 p.m. on Wednesday. The Savannah Republican hopes that the tea party forces that helped Handel finish third in last week's runoff could shift their allegiances to his camp.
Kingston faces businessman David Perdue, the top vote-getter in the GOP primary, in a July 22 runoff that will be the longest – and likely costliest – in state history.
Handel's endorsement should come as little surprise to close watchers of this rollicking race. Handel and Perdue got into a very public tiff after the former Fortune 500 executive knocked Handel as the "high school graduate in this race." Handel, who left a broken home at 17 and finished high school but never college, used it to try to depict Perdue as the candidate who has "lost touch with our values."
We're also told that Perdue's primary night victory speech did him no favors. In that speech, he told cheering supporters that "we retired three career politicians and we've got one more to go." Handel staked her campaign on being an outsider, so being labeled a politico one last time by the night's victor was like rubbing salt in the wound.
Handel's role in Kingston's campaign isn't yet determined, but we can expect her to focus her firepower on her metro Atlanta base – the former Fulton County commission chair has a considerable following in the region's suburbs – and to make the party's case to conservative women who may otherwise be tempted to vote for Democrat Michelle Nunn.
It's Kingston's latest move in an interesting balancing act between claiming establishment credentials and courting tea party support.
Kingston won the endorsement of the establishment-friendly U.S. Chamber of Commerce as well as Fox News talk show host Sean Hannity, a favorite of the tea party crowd, before the primary. And since last week's results, tea party stalwarts Erick Erickson and Julianne Thompson have both left Handel's fold for Kingston's camp. Perdue, meanwhile, has big names such as former presidential contender Herman Cain and former Gov. Sonny Perdue, his first cousin, in his corner.
The contours of this race are shifting fast, but this much is clear:
There's a new rule in Georgia politics – if your opponent has only a high school diploma, be very, very polite.

In the east, every series is split at 2 except for the goal-fest that is the Pens and Flyers and thats a 4 vs a 5.
I can't help but think to get ahead now the GM has to get lucky and have someone out-perform their contract as well as have your stars perform to get any traction on the league.
Significant injuries and players who don't perform are just tremendous weights to bear now.
This isn't a specific commentary on the Wings, more of an observation on the league currently.

Should the paragraph (minus the "including Lee")
"Weiner has admitted to communicating online with six women, including Lee, over the past three years. The scandal began when a picture of his erect penis bulging against his boxer briefs was accidentally posted on Twitter. He initially attributed the post to a prankster who hacked into his account, but then eventually admitted last week that it was he who posted the photo. More photos have emerged since then, including one showing his nude genitals."
be incorporated into the initial paragraph to give the reader the complete background since "the scandal" may be unclear? --William S. Saturn (talk) 17:15, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Article direction[edit]
I like the additions that give a broader view of his behavior rather than just focusing on the porn star, whose revelations are a drop in the bucket, and he would have had to resign anyway IMO, whether or not she spoke up. After all, he admitted lying a week or more ago, and even when he admitted lying he did not come clean as to the extent of his "problem". Focusing in the porn star sensationalizes the issue without clarifying it. Mattisse (talk) 19:44, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
What happened to the information about his wife?[edit]
There was a nice statement in the article at one time, but I can't find it now. Weiner made a big deal about not making a decision to resign until she returned from her Africa trip. The wife was very close to the Clintons (Bill Clinton married them) who were reported to be "enraged" at Weiner. She is pregnant, married to him for less than a year, etc. I think this is an important part of the story. The "wife" role is important in politics. The role is very important in political scandals in determining how the politician will be regarded publically. Mattisse (talk) 20:26, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

- Well, I changed it back to what it used to be (and I'm an admin, so no telling about that). Maybe I just don't have enough of a sense of humor. I'm not out to raise a fuss over it, either way; but I did wonder if maybe it was one of those things where tastes differ between the two sides of the pond. And it happened on this side of the pond. --Pi zero (talk) 03:20, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Weiner gets deflated by reversionists with no sense of fun.[edit]
- Well someone clearly has had a "senseofhumorectomy". It was spoken about in the IRC channel, we felt it was a good headline, jeez people, lighten up will ya. So it happened on the other side of the pond, big deal. It's not as if we have a thing for publishing headlines with a double-entendre in. BarkingFish (talk) 10:17, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- To comment on something raised overnight on IRC — one difference between this and Category:Wackynews (which I'm not altogether happy with, but tolerate and, to be honest, once put a story I'd written in because it just had to go there) is that Wackynews is something it may take the reader a long time to notice, if they notice at all (I'd like to delete the infobox, even though I have to acknowledge the category serves a necessary function); whereas the headline creates the audience's first and most profound impression of the article, and of us. (BTW, do you realize how difficult it was to say that without a glaringly obvious double-entendre? My first instinct was to quote the Style guide about the information content of headlines: "tell the most important and unique thing". No, wait...)

- There really are fascinating and subtle cultural differences across the pond, often not subject to easy explanation, but there nonetheless. Years ago, I attended an academic talk by a UK professor who made an allusion to the Answer being 42, and later he expressed frustration that that never gets a laugh over here, because nobody over here has read the book. I reflected that probably everyone in the room had read the book, but to us that was a sort of joke best enjoyed without laughing at it. --Pi zero (talk) 12:43, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
Ask that this article not be published[edit]
I'm asking that this article not be published. It is stale anyway, as the topic is barely mentioned in the US press today. The problem has been solved by Weiner's resignation.
Also, the headline of this article makes fun of a serious situation for Weiner, his family, the Democrat Party and the country. Perhaps the article is not clear enough, and is read by some as a joke. Some see anything that involves sex as a joke, perhaps. The issue for the country and the party was that the controversy was distracting members of the House of Representatives of conducting the country's business. Resignation cut the matter short. He is not considered "disgraced" as many articles mentioned how well his work is considered as a member of the House and that his constituents still support him. He is also still considered by many as a viable candidate for Mayor of New York, and most seemed to think he will return to politics. Nancy Pelosi's comments were compassionate, and I think that is how many feel.
I don't think the word "disgraced" was mentioned anywhere. Except by wikinews in its title. Also, the issue was not just lewd photos, but the internet contact of a sexual nature with many women, especially since he has been married to his wife for than one year who is pregnant.
I feel bad for those of us that worked hard on the story, and I thank those that did as the experience was quite pleasurable and the collaboration excellent, but it would not be right to publish the article with its current title. And too much time has passed, IMO, for the article to be new news now.
Thanks, Mattisse (talk) 16:54, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- Our audience is international, so position in the US news isn't important really. For many, this is something we know little about - e.g. UK. Our news has paid this only passing attention; few know many details. Staleness is generally considered to set in after three days. That merely leaves the title... Hardly an insurmountable issue :p. Review on this is tough because of the long nature of the talk page - all of which must be digested. That, and the larger number of sources.

After the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., famed radio disc jockey Ralph Petey Greene, whose life was portrayed in the 2007 film Talk to Me starring Don Cheadle, helped to quell riots and looting in Washington, D.C.s black community by offering encouraging messages on the radio.
The Radio Show
WHEN: 8 p.m. June 1 and 4; 2 p.m. June 2 and 3WHERE: College of Charlestons Emmett Robinson Theatre COST: $32
But over the past 20 years, urban radio has been on the decline, leaving urban communities craving the call-and-response healing of music and opinion that comes from the African diaspora about current events on the air.
When Pittsburghs WAMO radio station was sold to St. Joseph Missions by Sheridan Broadcasting in 2009, the communitys outcry about R&B/hip-hop programming being replaced by Catholic programming hit local newspapers and blogs like a storm surge.
WAMO had an AM station that played old soul; your Marvin Gaye, Donnie Hathaway, said Pittsburgh native Kyle Abraham, whose dance company Abraham.In.Motion will perform The Radio Show at Spoleto Festival USA. An FM station that played contemporary music; your Beyonce, Tweet. Without that station theres no exposure for artists like Erykah Badu, Jill Scott. Where then will we go to listen to new music that doesnt sound the same?
Abrahams original dance production, The Radio Show, is divided into AM and FM sections, and was inspired not only by his father, who has Alzheimers and aphasia, but also by Pittsburghs loss of WAMO radio. WAMOs closing is just one example of the increasing number of urban radio stations closing their doors or being bought out by larger corporate interests. In the Charleston area, Citadel Broadcasting recently sold its stations to Cumulus Broadcasting for $2.4 billion.
Exposing Charlestonians to different music has been the cornerstone of Osei Chandlers three-decade radio career. Known as Mr. Reggae, Chandler has been one of the only DJs spinning reggae, calypso and roots music for nearly a dozen radio stations in Charleston, Columbia and Georgetown.
I know the music is uplifting, Chandler said. My music is about uplifting and positive vibrations. Its about love, its about justice and equal rights and some of it is just plain fun.
Uplifting the black community was a large part of early urban radio programming, which saw its sharpest increases in the mid-1970s as the Civil Rights Movement gave way to urban angst and affirmative action. Many stations sought out black on-air personalities, and black media ownership increased because tax breaks were offered to minority owners and advertisers who placed ads on black stations, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Many people cite the passage of the 1996 Telecommunications Act as urban radios critical turning point, because the act allowed for the corporatization of radio and the spread of syndication. This changed advertising strategies; ads once sold to individual stations were suddenly packaged for big companies that would air them on all of their stations, according to New Yorks WBAI Public Radio. This accelerated the demise of many small, black-owned stations because, despite high ratings, they could not sustain profits.
Data from the National Association of Black Broadcasters shows that black people make up 14 percent of the U.S. population, but have only 2 percent of broadcast licenses. The U.S. has more than 6,000 commercial radio stations, but fewer than 100 black commercial radio station owners, according to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
Syndication has taken the localization of radio and put it on a national scale, said Brian Seabrook, whose career started in 1995 at WTVA Gospel station in St. Stephen reading community news. In other words, instead of having a personality that you can touch, you have celebrities on the radio that you cant touch or call. The local community is not the topic of the local station. Thats the difference between syndication and local programming.
Seabrook is Charlestons Original B.A.A.D. (Born Again And Delivered) Boy of Gospel, and his live program, The Afternoon Joy Ride, airs on WJNI (101.7). He believes having a local angle provides a release for the community.
When we had a young girl, who was 13 years old, and was on her way to a high school football game, she was walking with her friends, and as she was walking a gunfight broke out a block away from her, and a stray bullet struck her in the back and killed her, Seabrook said. It never made the national news, so local news picked it up. Our station and our sister station got together and raised money to help the mother pay the expenses for the funeral (more than $4,000). National personalities cant do that.
Frankie Da Big Bopper Greene tells of an instance when a man called during his show on Magic 107.3 to say he was fed up with life and ready to kill himself. Greene took a commercial break, listened to the mans story and dedicated the Swanee Quintets Ups and Downs to him. The man later called Greene and told him that that moment saved his life. Now, 10 minutes before each hour of his Saturday radio slot, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., he dedicates a song to someone.
Back in the day, radio was the thing, Greene said, recalling the echoes of radios in the housing projects where he grew up. If something happened or was about to happen, everyone would turn off the TV and go to the radio.
In choreographing The Radio Show, Abraham thought of the connection between the loss of black radio and a breach in communication.
The station had call-in segments where issues are coming up about battered women or people dealing with life-threatening illnesses, Abraham said of WAMO. For a community thats not necessarily going to counseling, black radio is their counseling. Where do they go now, and what happens?

Our former owner and Knight of the Realm is sitting in his castle counting other people's money. Our current owner has snuck back into Scotland and is sipping champagne whilst contemplating the potential return on his £1 "investment" in Rangers. The blazers are doing what blazers always do, nothing until it is too late. The hack-erati are busy scribbling with their crayons and our rivals continue praying to the Gods of Jelly and Ice Cream that today will be the day... All the while Rangers fans, the only people who ever truly had the club's interests at heart, are left climbing the walls.
A week and a half after Rangers' administrators invited "best and final offers" it appears at first glance that not much is happening in the way of a conclusion. If press reports are to be believed the Blue Knights offer would see creditors receiving £10 million through a CVA. The alternative offers envisage a business and assets sale thought to mean a return of at least double for the creditors. In any other situation this would be a no brainer for the administrators but as ever the issues to be resolved are not purely financial they are also footballing.
For months now this blog has stated two things consistently. Firstly I have maintained that the end game would be a business and assets deal that would save the football club but not the existing company. Secondly I have maintained that any punishment imposed on Rangers should be based on the existing rules and regulations. Clearly this will not come to pass with commercial considerations being prioritised a scenario that will serve only to disappoint and disenfranchise football supporters of all persuasions.

AMR Corporation Announces Put Option Notification for 4.5% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2024
AMR Corporation today announced that it is notifying holders of the $307,979,000 outstanding principal amount of its 4.5% Senior Convertible Notes due 2024 (the "Notes") that they have an option, pursuant to the terms of the Notes, to require AMR to purchase, on Feb. 15, 2009, all or a portion of such holders' Notes (the "Put Option") at a price equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to Feb. 15, 2009. As Feb. 15, 2009 is an interest payment date for the Notes, interest accrued up to the purchase date will be paid to record holders as of the regular record date immediately preceding this interest payment date, and therefore AMR expects that there will be no accrued and unpaid interest due as part of the purchase price. Under the terms of the Notes, AMR has the option to pay the purchase price for the Notes with cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock, and has elected to pay for the Notes solely with cash.
As required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, AMR will file a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO later today. In addition, AMR's company notice to holders (a copy of which will be attached as an exhibit to such Schedule TO) with respect to the Put Option specifying the terms, conditions and procedures for exercising the Put Option will be available through The Depository Trust Company and the paying agent, which is Wilmington Trust Company. None of AMR, its board of directors, or its employees has made or is making any representation or recommendation to any holder as to whether to exercise or refrain from exercising the Put Option.
Noteholders' opportunity to exercise the Put Option will commence on Jan. 15, 2009, and will terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Feb. 13, 2009. Holders may withdraw any previously delivered purchase notice pursuant to the terms of the Put Option at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Feb. 13, 2009.
The address of Wilmington Trust Company is Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, 9th Floor, Wilmington, DE, 19890, Attention: Alisha Clendaniel.

China's security services have begun a wide-spread crackdown on activists and dissidents in an attempt to find out who helped Chen Guangcheng escape his house arrest and get to the US Embassy and has also been blocking news of the blind dissident's escape.
Chen, who is blind, faked an illness for a prolonged period to get his guards to ease their watch over him and then successfully escaped his house and was taken by a network of activist and dissidents across China to the US Embassy, deemed the only safe place in China for such activists.
Reports have surfaced showing activists across China, but mostly in the eastern sections of the country, are being arrested and questioned, some even beaten, in order to get information on who helped Chen escape.
Chen is a self taught lawyer who championed disability rights in China and was previously sentenced to a four year prison sentence and later released on house arrest.
Meanwhile, China's massive internet censoring network has begun to filter out any mention of the incident or of Chen's name, creating a near blackout over the incident. Popular forums across China that originally had news of the escape no longer mentioned anything about the incident, and news coverage that was first reported by outside media outlets have been blocked.
A delegation of high ranking US diplomats have arrived in Beijing including Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell, who will attempt to pave the way for his boss, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in the hopes of reaching an agreement with the Chinese over Chen and his escape, along with the protection of his family.
Officially, Campbell arrived to lay the ground work for the annual conference between Chinese officials with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Hillary Clinton and scores of officials, but has already begun quiet back channel negotiations with his Chinese counterparts over Chen.
Reports have suggested that the US may try to bring Chen back to the United States, but this is complicated because his family is still in China and had already been arrested over his escape.
Getting Chen out of China can be tricky also, as he would have to travel with a high ranking diplomat out of the embassy. This act would be considered aggressive and offensive to Chinese officials who would likely attempt to stop the motorcade to the airport of any diplomats that are not high ranking such as Clinton's or possibly Campbell's. Chen has said he wants to remain in China but his safety is likely in jeopardy if he does say political experts in Washington.
So far there has been no apparent increased security outside the US Embassy by the Chinese.

"Originally released in 1960 and 1962 on two unique formats with over-lapping tracklists, the seminal Music From Mathematics Showcase Project marked the phonographic introduction of computer generated music for the first time in the public arena. Having played a leading role in the development in Telstar 1 (the first commercial communication satellite) as a radio communications polymath, Dr. John Robinson Pierce and his earliest lesser-known abstract musical achievements might well have been the only bona fide first-hand examples of space rock - a concept that even Joe Meek couldn't come close to. Working extensively as a well respected figure in the fields of psychoacoustics, radio communication, computer music and science fiction writing, Pierce's post-concrčte abstract submissions to the Music From Mathematics Showcase Project mark the very earliest murmurs of the experimental computer music which would eventually lead to his position at Stanford University in the late 70s where he developed non-octave scales such as his own pioneering Bohlen-Pierce Scale. Coining the self-deprecating phrase "funding artificial intelligence is real stupidity" is self-admission that alongside Max Mathews (with their research into computer generated music) he created the happy monsters that became electro or techno and the dawn of the musical replicants that followed.

93 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - January/February 2009
Inky ruby. Utterly hypnotic heady bouquet of red and dark berry preserves, cherry-cola, violet, incense and minerals; this has to be one of the most alluring bouquets of any wine I tasted on this year's trip. Suave, mineral-drenched red fruit flavors stain the palate, picking up licorice and bitter chocolate qualities with air. Finishes with excellent juicy persistence and a strong whiplash of candied violet and cola.

Tomi, If you like the fluidity DVDs/workouts you might want to look into Barre3 and/or Physique57 DVDs. I bought my daughter both. She used to take classes at a Barre3 Studio in Portland but it was very spendy, so I bought her the DVD. When she needed something "more" I bought her the Physique57 series for Christmas.
I now have her Barre3 DVD and use my kitchen counter as the bar. I also have her arms/abs Physique57 DVD because she takes aerial dance classes that work her, already stellar, abs.
As to your weight loss, I hope you don't take this wrong but I think you are focusing on the wrong thing-- looking for the quick fix to bring the number on the scale down and down quickly. And, when that doesn't happen you sabotage yourself.
As for the liquid diet, that again seems like "a quick fix" to a broader issue than scale weight. Did you maintain the 35 lb loss?
I suggest:
1. Getting your head firmly in the game-- Decide what you know you will do and what you know you wont.Write it down.Think about it. Commit
2. Decide on a eating protocol--ie 3 meals, one snack all primal foods, planned treats. Then decide to stick with it for a predetermined time frame without tweaking. 4-6 wks is IMO a good time frame.
3. Decide on an exercise plan. For example--Walking 3 times a week + a DVD. Do this for a predetermined time (the same 4-6 wks as diet) adding walking minutes or days when you feel like it but always doing the initial decided upon number of days.
4. Decide how the things you enjoy--rum/coke, cheesecake, ice cream, etc will fit into your life. I believe thinking things we love must be banished sets us up for failure. Knowing you can have them under predetermined circumstances lets you have them under control.
5. Find success in the doing of #1-4. Not by the number on the scale
6. Do not weigh for the predetermined eating plan/exercise time frame. Take measurements at the start of the time frame and end. Weigh at the end IF you can see it as a measuring tool, NOT as an indication of success/failure.
I hope this helps. If you'd like to preview the DVDs I have before buying you are more than welcome to come over. If you'd like, we could do dinner on one of your husband's study nights.

With 'Pizza Bomber,' Jerry Clark and Ed Palattella have written the definitive account of truly strange case
"Pizza Bomber: The Untold Story of America's Most Shocking Bank Robbery"
By Jerry Clark and Ed Palattella
Berkley Books; 438 pages with 8 pages of photos; $9.99
A friend recently vacationed in France and talked with a congenial native there.
"Erie?" the Frenchman replied upon hearing my friend's hometown.
"I know Erie -- lots of snow and the pizza bomber!"
It happened almost a decade ago -- 2003 -- but, yes, in far too many places, we are still no more than the snowy town where a pizza deliveryman with a collar bomb locked around his neck robbed a bank, made a distinctly non-hasty getaway, got out of his Geo Metro, sat down and asked for a cigarette and a priest, in that order, and blew up.
The story was so bizarre that nobody could stop talking about it. Everybody, it seemed, other than the FBI, got a real good laugh out of it, and the town, trying as always to live down its Rust Bucketness and mistake-on-the-lake moniker, sustained another black eye.
Yeah, that sure was a funny one -- except for the grim fact that the guy, Brian Wells, died, and nobody seemed to know exactly how it happened or why.
Was he in on the bank robbery -- or was he an innocent "bomb hostage," as his written instructions called him, caught in a tragic predicament?
The Brian Wells case commanded attention and headlines for months, even years, but in that time, the laughter died. FBI Major Case 203 was not only bizarre; it was labyrinthine in its complexity.
Luckily for us, the two men who followed it through most doggedly -- FBI agent Jerry Clark and Erie Times-News reporter Ed Palattella, with a tip of the hat to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent Jason Wick -- have now written the definitive account, "Pizza Bomber: The Untold Story of America's Most Shocking Bank Robbery."
The book begins like a thriller.
First, the call to Mama Mia's Pizza-Ria on Thursday, Aug. 28, 2003. Two small pepperoni-and-sausage pizzas to the WSEE-TV transmission tower on upper Peach.
Owner Tony Ditomo hands the phone to his deliveryman, Wells, and we're given a terse but thorough three-page summary of Wells' life-to-date: He likes the lottery, crosswords, the Times-News' Great Key Hunt. He plays guitar, doesn't own a computer. Regular guy, kind of timid and shy.
Wells drives to the tower. It's 2 p.m., and a gunshot sounds from the clearing.
Here, Clark and Palattella immediately switch scenes to the bank robbery at PNC Bank, 7200 Peach St. It's now 2:27 p.m.
What happens between 2 p.m. and 2:27 p.m. -- those mysterious 27 minutes -- requires the rest of the book to solve.
From that opening description of the robbery, the cast of characters expands quickly and twistedly -- Jim Roden, Ken Barnes, Floyd Stockton, Robert Pinetti, Jessica Hoopsick -- but this wicket is so sticky there's no space here to describe the key role each played.
"Pizza Bomber" obviously benefits from Clark's expertise as the lead FBI agent on the case. It's the bulldoggedness of Clark, after all, that finally puts the investigation on the right track. But it also benefits from Palattella's long career as a reporter, and nowhere is he more poignant than when he talks about Erie itself, the book's backdrop.
"Erie, in the early years of the 21st century, had hanging over it an air of decline that threatened to smother hope. Erie reveled in the beauty of Presque Isle Bay and the tourism it attracted, but deep problems beset the city: its poverty, its collapsing manufacturing base, its residents' willingness, all too often, to dwell on how great things had been instead of pondering how great they could be."
Palattella's travelogue takes us to Erie's South Pier, and it's there that he introduces us to Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, a woman whose first husband was declared brain-dead at 44 in 1992 and who shot and killed two boyfriends, one in 1984, the other in 2003.
Diehl-Armstrong, along with her friend and perhaps lover, Bill Rothstein, will dominate the remainder of "Pizza Bomber."
Both of them are fascinating, multilayered characters, and both are at the heart of the case -- Clark believes that Diehl-Armstrong devised the scheme's broad strokes, and that Rothstein built the elaborate collar bomb. They are so engaging from a narrative perspective that it would be difficult to find many novels with characters more indelible.
Clark and Palattella are characters here, too, and Palattella is unsparing of his role.
"[Reporter] Ed Palattella more than once gave the feds the benefit of the doubt. ... This careless, uncritical thinking damaged Palattella's reporting."
Clark, on the other hand, is either doing elated pushups when things go right, or fighting off desperation when they more often don't.
"Pizza Bomber" is a long, ambitious book, much more serious-minded than its mass-market paperback status would seem to indicate. There's no easy summation to its findings, other than perhaps simply this:
"The entire plot was irrational because the people who crafted it were irrational. The worst mistake investigators could make in the Wells case ... would be to gauge the evidence in the context of how normal criminals would behave. These are intelligent but abnormal people."
DOUG RIEDER is the former editor of the books page. He is a friend and professional admirer of Ed Palattella.

Hi! My name is Zoe
I am Domestic Shorthair from Victoria, BC
Nicknames: Buddy
Age: 10 years old
Gender: F
Coat: short haired
Education: I have learned to not scratch the furniture, not chew the indoor plants and to jump only onto the kitchen counters or dining table when my folks are not in sight.
My favorite tricks and treats are: My favorite trick is to kick all the play mice under the oven and try to retrieve them from somewhere else. My favorite treat is "Fibre Formula" canned food from Medi-Cal (tastes like chicken and salmon ;-)
Where I hang out: In the armchair in front of the big window when it is raining; in front of the wood oven when it is cold; outside in the forest when my folks are at work; and at night in their bed.
My favorite grubs: "Preventive" dry cat food from Medi-Cal
My pet peeves: When it doesn't stop raining and it's all yucky outside. Snow is OK, but no rain please.
What I love about my owners: They feed me, they praise me when I do something good or right, they scratch my head and give me belly rubbs.
My cat hobbies: Hunting mice, grooming myself and watching hockey (no joke!)
Pet motto: Having fun every day keeps the vet away!

We had been fostering cats for a local rescue organization for a while and got always so attached to each of the cats. Therefore, we decided to keep one permanently. The next batch that they gave us where 4 sweet feral kittens and after they got spayed/neutered and vaccinated, my husband chose Zoe because she was the bravest and purred so nicely. We still find fostering cats very rewarding, and Zoe is bringing endless love, fun and happiness into our lives. On top of that, she solved our rodent problem, since we are living in a very rural area. Zoe was the perfect choice.
