Agent Q, or The Smell of Danger!by M. T. Anderson Kurt Cyrus
It's time for Lily, Katie, and Jasper to head home from their exciting Delaware adventure, but the Awful Autarch's spies and goons are everywhere, and it's clear that *they* have other plans for our three intrepid heroes. Chock full of ups, downs, twists, turns, and even a band of sentient lobsters fighting on the side of Good, this fourth installment of the Pals in Peril series is every bit as wild, wacky, and wonderfully outrageous as the first three.
Burger Wussby M. T. Anderson
Anthony has never been able to stand up for himself- that is, not until he finds his girlfriend, Diana, in someone else's arms. Then Anthony vows revenge and devises The Plan. It begins with getting a job at O'Dermott's, the fast-food restaurant where Turner (a.k.a. the guy who stole his girlfriend) happens to be a star employee. It involves one anarchist, one condiment troll, and one '85 Oldsmobile named Margot. But when these ingredients are finally assembled, will The Plan satisfy Anthony's hunger for revenge? And more important, will he ever prove he's not a wuss?
The Clue of the Linoleum Lederhosenby M. T. Anderson Kurt Cyrus
Looking forward to a vacation, Katie, Lily, and Jasper attach their flying Gyroscopic Sky Suite to the Moose Tongue Lodge and Resort, where they mingle with other child heroes found in books, and where they become embroiled in a mystery involving lederhosen-clothed quintuplets and a screaming ventriloquist.
Feedby M. T. Anderson
From Publishers Weekly In this chilling novel, Anderson (Burger Wuss; Thirsty) imagines a society dominated by the feed a next-generation Internet/television hybrid that is directly hardwired into the brain. Teen narrator Titus never questions his world, in which parents select their babies' attributes in the conceptionarium, corporations dominate the information stream, and kids learn to employ the feed more efficiently in School. But everything changes when he and his pals travel to the moon for spring break. There Titus meets home-schooled Violet, who thinks for herself, searches out news and asserts that "Everything we've grown up with the stories on the feed, the games, all of that it's all streamlining our personalities so we're easier to sell to." Without exposition, Anderson deftly combines elements of today's teen scene, including parties and shopping malls, with imaginative and disturbing fantasy twists. "Chats" flow privately from mind to mind; Titus flies an "upcar"; people go "mal" (short for "malfunctioning") in contraband sites that intoxicate by scrambling the feed; and, after Titus and his friends develop lesions, banner ads and sit-coms dub the lesions the newest hot trend, causing one friend to commission a fake one and another to outdo her by getting cuts all over her body. Excerpts from the feed at the close of each chapter demonstrate the blinding barrage of entertainment and temptations for conspicuous consumption. Titus proves a believably flawed hero, and ultimately the novel's greatest strength lies in his denial of and uncomfortable awakening to the truth. This satire offers a thought-provoking and scathing indictment that may prod readers to examine the more sinister possibilities of corporate- and media-dominated culture. Ages 14-up.

The Game of Sunken Placesby M. T. Anderson
When Brian and Gregory arrive at a distant relative's strange manse, they stumble upon a board game and suddenly they became players and must deal with attitudinal trolls and warring kingdoms.
Handel, Who Knew What He Likedby M. T. Anderson
A droll biography reveals the high notes--and the low notes- in the life of the world's foremost composer of Baroque music. This is not your usual picture book biography. Nor was George Frideric Handel your everyday eighteenth-century composer. This witty and yet rigorously researched and accessible biography captures Handel's essential spirit--from a child who smuggled a clavichord into the attic to play music against his father's orders to a young man who imported forty-five pounds of mountain snow to chill wine for a gala--as well as his remarkable, enduring musical triumphs. But M. T. Anderson also shows Handel's struggles and chronicles the illness, ill fortune, and despair that led to his greatest achievement, the Messiah.

Jasper Dash and the Flame-Pits of Delawareby M. T. Anderson Kurt Cyrus
It is a land of wonders. It is a land of mystery. It is a land that time forgot (or chose specifically not to remember). Cut off from the civilized world for untold years by prohibitive interstate tolls at the New Jersey border, this land is called: Delaware. It is into the mist-shrouded heart of this forbidden mountainous realm that our plucky and intrepid heroes, Jasper Dash: Boy Technonaut, and his friends Lily Gefelty and Katie Mulligan, must journey to unravel a terrible mystery in this third weird and wacky installment of M. T. Anderson's Thrilling Tales.
The Kingdom on the Waves (The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing: Traitor to the Nation; Volume 2)by M. T. Anderson
Volume 2 of the National Book Award Winner and NEW YORK TIMES bestseller -- a stunning resolution to the epic tale that "fascinates, appalls, condemns, and enthralls." In 1775, fearing a death sentence, Octavian and his tutor, Dr. Trefusis, escape through rising tides and pouring rain to find shelter in British-occupied Boston. Sundered from all he knows -- the College of Lucidity, the rebel cause -- Octavian hopes to find safe harbor. Instead, he is soon to learn of Lord Dunmore's proclamation offering freedom to slaves who join the counterrevolutionary forces. In Volume 2 of his unparalleled masterwork, M. T. Anderson recounts Octavian's experiences as the Revolutionary War explodes around him, thrusting him into intense battles and tantalizing him with elusive visions of liberty. Ultimately, this astonishing narrative escalates to a startling, deeply satisfying climax, while reexamining our national origins in a singularly provocative light.

The Norumbegan Quartet #1: The Game of Sunken Placesby M. T. Anderson
From bestselling and National Book Award-winning author M. T. Anderson comes the paperback reissue of a middle-grade adventure starring two of the most disarmingly deadpan boys you'll ever meet. When Brian and Gregory receive an invitation to stay at a distant relative's strange manse . . . well, they should know better than to go, but since this is a middle-grade adventure novel, they go anyway. Why not? Once there, they stumble upon The Game of Sunken Places, a board game that mirrors a greater game for which they have suddenly became players. Soon the boys are dealing with attitudinal trolls, warring kingdoms, and some very starchy britches. Luckily, they have wit, deadpan observation, and a keen sense of adventure on their side.
The Norumbegan Quartet #2: The Suburb Beyond the Starsby M. T. Anderson
The fun and fantasy continue with bestselling and award-winning author M. T. Anderson. You haven't seen strange until you've seen what Brian and Gregory are up against.... Something incredibly strange is happening. It's not The Game of Sunken Places-Brian and Gregory have been through that before. But still...strange creatures have begun to chase after them. And Gregory's adventurous cousin Prudence has disappeared. When Brian and Gregory go to the Vermont woods to track down Prudence, they find many things are...off. People are not where they're supposed to be. Time has stopped working properly.
The Norumbegan Quartet #3: The Empire of Gut and Boneby M. T. Anderson
Murder! Mystery! Rebellion! From bestselling and National Book Award-winning author M.T. Anderson, a third visit to the world of THE GAME OF SUNKEN PLACES. The land of New Norumbega is an unusual one--an empire of gut and bone, a kingdom of blood and mucus. At its dark, dry heart is a ruling class that doesn't care about much besides itself . . . and a ruler who is (literally) a one-eyed stump of flesh. Brian and Gregory have come to New Norumbega for a reason--to get the Norumbegans to help them thwart an alien attack back home on earth. But instead, the two boys find themselves caught up in both a robot rebellion and a murder mystery after one of the Norumbegan leaders is sent to sleep . . . permanently. In New Norumbega, it's very hard to know who to trust. There are assassins around every corner, and secrets pave every conversation. Brian and Gregory will be lucky to make it out alive, never sure if they are meant to catch the murderer . . . or be the killer's next victim.
The Norumbegan Quartet #4: The Chamber in the Skyby M. T. Anderson
From National Book Award and Printz Honor winner M.T. Anderson comes the amazing conclusion to his Norumbegan Quartet! Brian and Gregory have seen it all. They've played a strange, twisty game and won, and then created their own...sort of. They've gone to investigate intergalactic suburban sprawl that was infringing on the Vermont forests, and landed in the empire of New Norumbega inside the huge body of an alien. They've escaped certain death, walked right into it, and wreaked small amounts of havoc of their own. And finally, they're going to make sense of all their travels and adventures...if they possibly can! Part fantasy, part mystery, part quest, part Monty Python, the Game of Sunken Places #4 brings to a close the incredible, strange, funny journey of Brian and Gregory, as only the masterful M. T. Anderson could.
The Pox Party (The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing: Traitor to the Nation; Volume 1)by M. T. Anderson
A gothic tale becomes all too shockingly real in this mesmerizing magnum opus by the acclaimed author of FEED. It sounds like a fairy tale. He is a boy dressed in silks and white wigs and given the finest of classical educations. Raised by a group of rational philosophers known only by numbers, the boy and his mother -- a princess in exile from a faraway land -- are the only persons in their household assigned names. As the boy's regal mother, Cassiopeia, entertains the house scholars with her beauty and wit, young Octavian begins to question the purpose behind his guardians' fanatical studies. Only after he dares to open a forbidden door does he learn the hideous nature of their experiments -- and his own chilling role in them. Set against the disquiet of Revolutionary Boston, M. T. Anderson's extraordinary novel takes place at a time when American Patriots rioted and battled to win liberty while African slaves were entreated to risk their lives for a freedom they would never claim. The first of two parts, this deeply provocative novel reimagines the past as an eerie place that has startling resonance for readers today.<P><P> WInner of the National Book Award
Symphony for the City of the Dead: Dmitri Shostakovich and the Siege of Leningradby M. T. Anderson
National Book Award winner M. T. Anderson delivers a brilliant and riveting account of the Siege of Leningrad and the role played by Russian composer Shostakovich and his Leningrad Symphony. In September 1941, Adolf Hitler's Wehrmacht surrounded Leningrad in what was to become one of the longest and most destructive sieges in Western history--almost three years of bombardment and starvation that culminated in the harsh winter of 1943-1944. More than a million citizens perished. Survivors recall corpses littering the frozen streets, their relatives having neither the means nor the strength to bury them. Residents burned books, furniture, and floorboards to keep warm; they ate family pets and--eventually--one another to stay alive. Trapped between the Nazi invading force and the Soviet government itself was composer Dmitri Shostakovich, who would write a symphony that roused, rallied, eulogized, and commemorated his fellow citizens--the Leningrad Symphony, which came to occupy a surprising place of prominence in the eventual Allied victory. This is the true story of a city under siege: the triumph of bravery and defiance in the face of terrifying odds. It is also a look at the power--and layered meaning--of music in beleaguered lives. Symphony for the City of the Dead is a masterwork thrillingly told and impeccably researched by National Book Award-winning author M. T. Anderson.
Thirstyby M. T. Anderson

So while his hometown performs an ancient ritual that keeps Tch'muchgar, the Vampire Lord, locked in another world, Chris desperately tries to save himself from his own vampiric fate.

Whales on Stilts (A Pals in Peril Tale #1)by M. T. Anderson
What sort of madman would unleash an army of stilt-walking, laser-beaming, thoroughly angry whales upon the world? Who cares! All that matters is that his dastardly plan be foiled. Lucky for Lily Gefelty, her two best friends are the intrepid stars of their own middle-grade series novels: Jasper Dash (better know as the Boy Technonaut) and Katie Mulligan (beloved by millions as the heroine of the Horror Hollow series). It's going to take all their smarts to stop this insane, inane plot from succeeding.

Prepare for some ugly numbers this reporting season
You don't have to be an accounting guru to predict dismal 2011 results, but China Shipping's expected financials give an indication of the depth to which container carriers can expect to sink.
Could you spend US$385 million in one year? Even if you went out on a spending spree and bought a palatial home in Hollywood, a couple of fast cars to replace the receding hairline, new appendages for your partner and a wardrobe that would reduce the Kardashians to tears, you would still have well over $300 million left.
As an individual, ploughing through that amount of money in a year would take a bit of work. For a container line, however, making hundreds of millions of dollars disappear poses no such problems.
Yes, it is almost reporting season once again where we get to marvel at the bitter infighting between the top and bottom lines that produces such eye-popping turnarounds in profitability from year to year.
The first of the results will be out soon, but China Shipping Container Lines has already issued a profit warning. We imagine the CFO must have been given a sneak peek at the company balance sheet and recoiled in horror.
After being revived he released the statement, which was rather short on details, which is okay because that's what analysts are for. With no hard facts, transport analysts have the ability to meticulously study the industry, scrutinize the company performance and examine its interim results before sucking their thumbs and writing down the first number that pops into their heads.
That number, according to an analyst who reads the South China Morning Post on occasion, is $385 million. It is what CSCL, China's second largest container carrier, is expected to have lost in the last year.
For the sake of this blog, let's take that figure as gospel. If any more evidence was required that container shipping is a highly volatile, unpredictable and oddly run industry – and surely after the last few years no further evidence of that is needed – take a look at the 2010 results. That was the year of the rebound when demand surged after a chronically weak 2009. Container lines all turned in stronger than predicted profits and right up among the best performers was CSCL with a net position of $665 million.
Sure, this is not the first time it has happened, but the billion-dollar differential from year to year is still just incredible. What other industry can afford to operate with its profitability chart looking like a profile of the Himalayas.
In its January 16 edition, Cargonews Asia carried a piece speculating on CSCL and the container division of Cosco merging to form one big box carrier. They are both state owned and according to PR News Service, there has recently been personnel swaps between the two companies at top and middle management levels.
It is an interesting thought. Cosco's container shipping results will almost certainly match the poor performance of CSCL, and 2012 is not looking much brighter than the pile of muck that was 2011.
Maersk is slowly taking over the world, lines two and three have joined forces and carriers within the alliances are forming even stronger links in a desperate bid to cling on to market share.
So with red ink swamping their balance sheets, in the current environment of "bigger is better" maybe a merger between China's top two carriers would not be such a bad idea, after all.

Stylishly Comfy Eco-Friendly Eadie Armchair by Donna Wilson
Donna Wilson, the chair is handmade from a solid beach and plywood frame and all-natural fibers like wool, horse hair and a large feather-filled cushion. This also means it does not contain the petrochemicals found in the foam and flame-retardant fabrics used in much of the modern mass-market furniture (like most of mine unfortunately). The Eadie chair is custom built and retails for around US $2,900, so it's definitely an investment. However, I recently inherited my grandmother's reading chair, which was handcrafted in the 1940s, so when you think about how long a quality piece of furniture can last, it really puts the price tag into perspective.

See more in-depth oesophageal cancer diagnosis and treatment statistics
The latest statistics available for oesophageal cancer in the UK are; incidence 2013, mortality 2014 and survival 2010-2011 (all ages combined) and 2009-2013 (by age).
European Age-Standardised Rates were calculated using the 1976 European Standard Population (ESP) unless otherwise stated as calculated with ESP2013. ASRs calculated with ESP2013 are not comparable with ASRs calculated with ESP1976.
Lifetime risk estimates were calculated using incidence, mortality, population and all-cause mortality data for 2012.
Survival statistics give an overall picture of survival and (unless otherwise stated) include all adults (15-99) diagnosed, at all ages,
Studies which group together the two main morphological types of oesophageal cancer – adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) – may be confounded, because there are some aetiological differences between the types. Studies which consider the types separately are used in our risk factors analysis wherever possible.
Routes to diagnosis statistics were calculated from cases of cancer registered in England which were diagnosed in 2012-2013.
Cancer waiting times statistics are for patients who entered the health care system within financial year 2014-15. Oesophageal cancer is part of the group 'Upper Gastrointestinal cancer' for cancer waiting times data. Codes vary per country but broadly include: oesophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, other and unspecified parts of biliary tract, pancreas, secondary cancers of liver, intrahepatic bile duct and duodenum.
Cancer surgical resection rates data is for patients diagnosed in England between 2006 and 2010.
Patient Experience data is for adult patients in England with a primary diagnosis of cancer, who were in active treatment between September and November 2013 and who completed a survey in 2014.
Deprivation gradient statistics were calculated using incidence data for three time periods: 1996-2000, 2001-2005 and 2006-2010 and for mortality for two time periods: 2002-2006 and 2007-2011. The 1997-2001 mortality data were only used for the all cancers combined group as this time period includes the change in coding from ICD-9 to ICD-10. The deprivation quintiles were calculated using the Income domain scores from the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) from the following years: 2004, 2007 and 2010. Full details on the data and methodology can be found in the Cancer by Deprivation in England NCIN report.

Marquez: Bradley Was Using His Head, No Help From Ref
By Salvador Rodriguez
Former four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez is confident he won at least seven of his twelve rounds against Timothy Bradley last Saturday night at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Two judges had it 116-112 and 115-113 for Bradley, and the third scored 115-113 for Marquez.
Before Saturday's fight even took place, Marquez and his trainer Nacho Beristain made allegations that Bradley would use his head as a weapon in fights. Within the first two rounds, Marquez claims Bradley butted him four times and the referee did not intervene.
"I felt I won rounds one, three and four clearly, and then I think I won from the ninth to the last round. Even though he finally hit me back [at the end of the last round], I still think I won the round. We have to sit down and watch the fight calmly, and try to analyze it and then we will give our score to see [how it compares to] the judges. I don't know if [the referee] was watching out for Bradley's head, but in the first and second rounds Bradley gave me at least four headbutts and the referee did not see them or he would not assist me as I requested him to do in the dressing room," Marquez said.
I lost my respect to marquez this guy is a hard loser,,, time to hang his gloves his not sportsman he keep on complaining,,,make excuses as always,,,his a boxer but he wanted to be a referee and judge as will..sad…Comment by moonshineman on 10-16-2013
Whiner. All Marquez does is whine.Comment by Derranged on 10-16-2013
Granted Bradley likely used his head a few times but I didnt see all that much. Marquez is just making himself look bad.Comment by waxfondler on 10-16-2013
[QUOTE=RawDawgHasSpokn;13847375]Marquez has the right to complain but bad advice from his corner is to blame for this. They had him thinking he was winning at a point that was crucial in the fight and he wasn't. As for the headbutts;…Comment by waxfondler on 10-16-2013
[QUOTE=Rome-By-Ko;13845948]Wow this is disappointing from the legend..Is he really crying about everything..First he does not give Bradley any credit,now it's excuse after excuse..Very disappointed in Marquez..[/QUOTE] he did the same thing for pac, and everyone jumped on the bandwagon... so…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (101)

New Funding Brings Changes
Director's Welcome
Welcome to the start of our new 5-year stint as your MidContinental Regional Medical Library and National Training Office. We are honored to continue to serve in these dual capacities. A key difference with this round of awards is that we are now operating under a cooperative agreement with the National Library of Medicine (NLM), versus contracts. All of us are learning about the differences between these award types, but the major one is that NLM is much more a partner with our NN/LM planning, initiative implementation, and assessment. Claire, Jessi, and I serve on a National Network Steering Committee that is shaping strategies and clarifying operational aspects of the NN/LM. We look forward to sharing what we learn with you, learning from you, and remain eager to be partners in your success!
– Jean Shipman, Director
May 1, 2016 was the first day of the new funding for the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM). Every five years, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) funds a proposal from qualified universities to be the Regional Medical Library for one of eight regions of the NN/LM. NLM changed the Regional Medical Library in two regions. In the Greater Midwest Region the RML moved from the University of Illinois, Chicago to the University of Iowa (You'll meet the new RML staff at the Joint Chapter meeting in Des Moines later this year). In the South Central Region the RML moved from the Houston Academy of Medicine to the University of Texas Health Science Center. In addition, five national offices were funded. As mentioned by Jean, the University of Utah remains the home of the NN/LM Training Office previously known as the NLM Training Center. The NN/LM DOCLINE Coordination Office, the NN/LM Evaluation Office, the NN/LM Public Health Coordination Office and the NN/LM Web Services Office are the additional offices supporting access to health information.

Advocacy Book Club
Darell Schmick
Eccles Health Sciences Library
Salt Lake City, Utah
At the 2014 Quint Chapter meeting, our RML asked what skills NN/LM membership would like to be equipped with in our workplaces. Political Savvy was a notable answer, so we delivered! Barb Jones, our region's advocacy coordinator and I established our profession's first advocacy book club, specializing in political literacy.
Thanks to the members across the region and beyond, we are starting our fourth book club discussion in July 2016. After three well received book discussion groups, our next iteration will start July 19th and will feature Karl Weick's Managing the Unexpected: Resilient Performance in an Age of Uncertainty, 2007 edition.
While we feature specific chapters each week during this four week session, you are welcome to drop in anytime! Previous discussion groups have greatly benefited from hearing other colleagues' work experiences, and you needn't have memorized each chapter to contribute.
Meetings will be held at https://webmeeting.nih.gov/mcradvocacy and will meet every Tuesday starting July 19th at 1pm MST and 2pm CST through August 9.
We would like to thank participants of book discussion groups past for their wonderful contributions, and a special thanks to Margaret Hoogland for her delightful efforts in organizing materials and leading discussions as well.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com. Hope to see you there!
Whooo Says…
Dear Whooo,
I have been a solo librarian for several years now, and have been recently thinking about the changes in the way I practice my profession. When I was a young librarian, my colleagues and I thought of the librarian as the portal or the connector between the user and medical literature. We searched through the various indexes, found and provided articles to our users, developed our collections, and were viewed as essential in the hospital setting. As my career has progressed, I have created portals on intranet sites for my users to access the library collection and resources, but many of the users take on the search responsibility themselves. More and more, it seems to me that the use of the word "portal" with reference to medical librarianship is outdated. Can you comment on this?

MCR Social Media Stream
Social media can be a great way to keep up with the latest news and information in our field, but knowing which feeds to follow across a variety of platforms can be an overwhelming task. Because of this, the NN/LM MCR has put together this new feature on our web site. The Social Media Stream is comprised of a curated list of social media feeds from NLM, NIH, and other health information sources. Posts, images, tweets, videos, and pins from the last 30 days are available to browse and are frequently updated.
Please note the "Member Libraries" stream, which follows social media accounts from partner libraries in our region. It can be a useful way to raise your awareness of news and events in our region. We would love to add your library's account as well!
We will continue to review, revise, and update the highlighted information on a monthly basis.
Do you want to include your library's social media account in our stream or share a great health-related Facebook page, Instagram account, or other feed that you think we should include? If so, please fill out this form: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2894090/socialfeeds

Mobile App Experience Project
4th Quarter Reviews
It's time to share the final app reviews. This quarter, our 19 participants explored apps on topics from mind mapping to mindfulness, with intended audiences such as children, parents, health professionals, and everywhere in between. These reviewers spent a lot of time critically evaluating each app and should be commended for their thoroughness and effort. With lots of gratitude, we thank them for their participation – as this project wouldn't have worked without dedicated librarians volunteering their time and hard work.
The summaries below give you a quick overview of each app. Look them over and you may find one that works for you or someone in your audience. To learn the context of this project plus previous app reviews, you can click on the links below. Read more »
Support the MCR – Get Involved!
We're always astonished with how many members of the NN/LM MidContinental Region have participated in collaborations with NN/LM staff and other Network members to support NN/LM programming each year! Our Network members are a valuable resource that cannot go unrecognized. Thanks to all of you who have participated in activities to support our work! There is so much work to do that we are pleased to again invite you to get involved during the 2016-2017 agreement year. Anytime a Network member is involved they are supporting the NN/LM's mission to advance the progress of medicine and improve the public health, with the essential goal of providing health professionals with equal access to biomedical information and helping the public get the health information they need to make informed health decisions!
We need members who like to write and want to share their thoughts on topics that our readers may find interesting. Members can submit content for the Plains to Peaks Post Newsletter. Articles by 14 members were published during the past year. Members also wrote reviews of biomedical apps for mobile devices. Read more »
Report on the Spring 2016 Questionnaire
The NN/LM MCR regularly reaches out to Network members for their feedback about regional programs and services. One mechanism used is a questionnaire administered in the spring of each year. Six hundred seven Network members in the region's mailing list or the NN/LM Members Directory were invited to complete the Spring 2016 questionnaire; 65 of those invited responded. Respondents represented academic (60%), hospital (29%), public (8%) and other (6%) libraries and institutions.
What we asked
The questionnaire asked about RML programs/services overall and about three specific topics addressed by RML coordinators as they carried out their projects over the last year. Responses used a 5 point Likert scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree with the statement provided. Respondents could also select that they hadn't attended/read/watched the program/news item/article being considered. An oversight left that option off for two of the questions. Read more »

Music Industry Strikes Back
July 19, 1990
By Jonathan Takiff, Daily News Staff Writer
Look out, Jesse Helms. Take heed, Tipper Gore. Heavy guns in the music industry, the visual and performance arts are now going on the offensive to ward off what they perceive as dangerous infringements on their constitutional, First Amendment and free speech rights. The battle cry was raised this week at the New Music Seminar in New York City, which featured 8,000 young turk rock and rap artists, music industry executives, broadcasters and journalists. Retaliatory measures to censorship also were being plotted at a recent gathering of more than 200 top music industry executives and artists in Los Angeles, convened by Virgin Records executive Jeff Ayeroff.
Music industry sings a hymn of hypocrisy
October 16, 2003
By Kevin Cardin
Now here's a fascinating paradox: The record industry lecturing its audience on immorality - the theft of copyrighted music over the Internet. This from an industry that has enriched itself by glorifying infidelity, violence and rebellion, as well as criminal, abusive and other deviant behavior. Meanwhile, you have albums such as 50 Cent's Get Rich, or Die Tryin' (Interscope, a unit of Universal Music Group) and Radiohead's Hail To The Thief (Capitol Records, owned by EMI Group)
As music industry changes, Rowan emphasizes entrepreneurship

By Jonathan Lai, Staff Writer
Andrei Fritz was itching to let loose a torrent of drumming that could be heard in the classroom upstairs and by passersby in the hallway outside. But there was a problem. "Uhh, there's no power," said Fritz, 21, crouched down and looking at a thick black cable. Oops. "On any of them?" asked Jeffrey Hiatt, a head engineer and staff producer at Turtle Studios in Philadelphia. Something wasn't working right, but Hiatt was unfazed. What better dose of reality for a group of Rowan University students learning about the music industry?
Music industry sues over downloads Hundreds of people were accused of copying and sharing songs. A trade group says pirating has hurt sales. Music industry sues 261, offers amnesty to others
September 9, 2003
By Daniel Rubin INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The recording industry sued 261 music fans in U.S. federal courts yesterday, accusing each of illegally downloading and sharing at least 1,000 songs over the Internet. The civil lawsuits could eventually number in the thousands, said the Recording Industry Association of America, whose members include major record labels BMG, EMI, Sony Music, Universal Music Group and Warner Music. This summer, the RIAA issued about 1,600 subpoenas to universities and Internet service providers, demanding that they identify those allegedly sharing copyrighted music.

Behold the music industry's most coveted consumer: A girl in pigtails and tie-dye, maybe 11 years old, radiating fruity cologne from the Johnson's Kid Wash while, in her ice-cream sticky hands, she clutches a 98 Degrees T-shirt Mom just bought for $22. Like the two friends who have accompanied her to Montage Mountain, she's an enthusiastic cog in the "boy band" machine - she knows the names of all four members of 98 Degrees - and is on the lookout...

By Dan DeLuca INQUIRER MUSIC CRITIC
The music industry may not know where the demand is going to come from. But there's never going to be any shortage of supply. That much was obvious at the South by Southwest Music Festival, or SXSW, which ended Sunday, where more than 1,500 acts played showcases, and hundreds of others plugged in at barbecue joints and taco stands in this city that becomes the capital of the music business every March. Band managers, booking agents and label honchos played I'll-show-you-mine-if-you-show-me-yours with digital mobile devices, as panels met on such topics as "Record Companies: Who Needs Them?"

Scenes from yet another global mega-merger: Seagram's, the Canadian beverage and entertainment conglomerate, buys the multimedia company Polygram for an estimated $10.4 billion in December, linking one massive music industry operation (the purchaser's MCA, Interscope, Universal and Geffen) to another (the purchased's Mercury, Island, Motown, A&M and Def Jam) to form the Universal Music Group. Thousands of executives and support staff lose their jobs. Managers attend "integration" meetings.
Sizing Up The Milli Vanilli Brouhaha Music Industry Executives Are Divided Over The Duo. Some Say The Public Got The Handsome Performers It Wanted - Even If The Pair Didn't Sing A Note. Others Question The Artistic Ethics Of The Recording Business.

By William R. Macklin, Special to The Inquirer
Singer Jody Watley, winner of the 1987 Grammy as best new artist, was clearly outraged. Imagine: A pair of handsome, swivel-hipped performers named Robert Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan had managed to win the same award in 1989 even though the two, better known as Milli Vanilli, never sang a note of Girl You Know It's True, the smash album that bears their names and likenesses. Watley, appearing on Arsenio Hall's show on Tuesday - the day after Pilatus and Morvan became the only personalities ever to be stripped of a Grammy - roundly chastised the dreadlocked duo for their charade.

But as its audience has continued to expand (up again this season 14 percent), the ultimate karaoke party has become a legitimate monster. "A confluence of cultural factors have made this show not just a hit but a supernova in the TV universe," says John Rash, media buyer for Campbell Mithun, a Minneapolis advertising agency.

Revised streaming music bill introduced in Council
April 16, 2016
By Julia Terruso, Staff Writer
A revised bill to require dance venues that stream music to apply for special licenses was reintroduced in City Council on Thursday, after its first iteration sparked a chorus of complaints from the music industry. Councilman Mark Squilla's bill would close a loophole in the current law that allows nightclubs that stream music to avoid getting a special assembly license, which is required of places where DJs and live performers play. The first draft of the bill would also have required venues to keep a registry of names, phone numbers, and addresses of all musical acts that could be turned over to police.
Still baring all, Iggy pops at SXSW

AUSTIN, TEXAS - Battered, bruised, and still shirtless, Iggy Pop is 68 years old. And in its 30th year, the South by Southwest music festival is getting long in the tooth itself. But the sprawling industry conference that took over the Lone Star State capitol last week - on the heels of its Interactive tech conference that brought President Obama to town, and coinciding with the SXSW film festival - and that is making a show of rededicating itself to "music discovery" after growing swollen with too many Kanye- and Gaga-size names in recent years, has in fact always embraced leather-faced legends.

Philly actor: Lee Daniels stole 'Empire' from me

When Fox's hit show Empire premiered in January 2015, Philly actor Clayton Prince said his friends called to congratulate him on selling his show, about a troubled Philadelphia family in the recording industry. "There were some people who thought I sold it and I didn't take them along with me," Prince, 50, said. "I was like, 'There was nothing to take along. I was taken! I did not sell it.' " On Friday, Prince - whose legal name is Clayton Prince Tanksley - filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging that producer Lee Daniels stole the concept for Empire from Prince after he pitched his show to Daniels at the Greater Philadelphia Film Office's "Philly Pitch" in April 2008.

Have we forgotten "The Bodyguard," that corny glam romance about a famous-but-vulnerable pop star and the strong, silent man who protects her? One who has not is Gina Prince-Bythewood, who (14 years ago!) made "Love and Basketball," and now returns with "Beyond the Lights," a bodyguard-ish love story about suicidal singer Noni (Gugu Mbatha-Raw)
Does Philadelphia have talent? Councilman Oh thinks so
August 9, 2014
By Lydia O'Neal, Inquirer Staff Writer
When it comes to rejuvenating the economy, sectors like housing, manufacturing, and small business tend to steal the most attention. Councilman David Oh, however, has his eyes on music. At a Thursday news conference in City Hall, the councilman unveiled PHL Live, a four-month contest to bring prominence - and prizes - to deserving Philadelphia musicians. A sort of Philadelphia's Got Talent. "We want to recognize music as not just a hobby, but a job that needs to be paid," Oh said.

Want to Review a Different Internship?
4.8 of 5 stars
Other (US)
Had a team that helped me with whatever I needed and wanted to see me succeed. Exposure to real projects and meaningful work. Opportunity to network with people and interns from all different business units.
There wasn't anything that I didn't like.
There are a lot of different areas at CVS that take interns so you are sure to find something that fits with what you are looking for.
I found this review helpful (0)
Report abuse
4.9 of 5 stars
*mentorship program*ability to speak to various individuals from different divisions within the organization*guest speaker series
I liked the low quantity of guest speaker events the least.
CVS has a wealth of opportunities for individuals looking to make an impact (whether it be in the retail or healthcare space)
5.0 of 5 stars
Providence, RI
-Corporate culture great-Colleagues great-Opportunities to network-Opportunities to work with people from various departments
-Location of office is not the best, about a 50 minute drive from Boston
-Make the most of networking opportunities-Make the most of your daily responsibilities, show that you are able to work independently as well as in a group when required
I think that the company is doing a great job. If I was to choose one thing that could be improved upon, it is to investigate staggering shifts in order to prevent a large build-up of traffic while entering/exiting the compound daily.
-"What about this role interests you?"-"How do you anticipate your previous work experience will help you in this role?"
4.3 of 5 stars
Learning every day
if you ask for more work you may come out as too ambitious
Great exposure, big brand, overwhelming experience, but not all teams are given priority in terms of hiring
Trained interns should not be let go because of headcount issues in one team, they should be absorbed into other teams
Past work experience, strengths
4.4 of 5 stars
Felt like a part of the team, was evaluated as a full-time employee, professional environment, innovation, collaboration, and friendships with other interns.
Relocation back to the stores was very frustrating and put me into a very difficult financial situation.
Go beyond your project and experience whatever interests you. Share your ideas and they could make a huge and successful change.
Training at the office was fantastic, but our current training methods in the store are ineffective and a waste of resources.
4.5 of 5 stars
- Work-life balance- Ownership- Mentoring- I worked with very proactive people- I was recognized by my efforts.
- Pay- IT
I would strongly recommend this internship experience, specially in merchandising/store brands. The company is growing and there tons of opportunity to shine.
- Increase the pay rate to be more competitive with other employers- Have all the IT red tape done by the time of interns arrival- Let in terns know in advance what are the conditions if offered a full-time offer.
- What is the size of healthy food market for pharmacy?- If you knew your house was on fire, what would you do and in what order?
Networking, rewarding experience, job opportunities, fun work environment, motivating workplace
Vanillaand traditional corporate culture
If you're looking for an incredibly rewarding work experience, growing close with your colleagues, and developing tightly knit relationships with your fellow interns, CVS Health is an incredible opportunity worth considering.
Talk to me about your experience in Operations? Tell me about a time you had to work on a team? Walk me through your resume.
Learned about the industry. Challenged analytically and also to be creative. Structure of the internship program
Lack of exposure to other business units and ownership.
Try to meet as many people. It is a big company with so many opportunities.
Give more exposure and ownership to the intern to execute its project
What aspects would you consider when negotiating with a vendorTell me a time when you had to build a modelWhy do you want to work here
I felt the best aspects of the internship were the content, resources, and colleagues. Every project I worked on had a strong correlation to the goals of the department. Every colleague I worked with was extremely helpful, and had no problem stopping what they were doing to help me.
There was no aspect of the internship that I didn't enjoy. I never once found myself doing busy work.
CVS Health is a great company to gain experience and has a great culture as well. You really feel that you are part of the bigger picture of the enterprise.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?What do you know about the Procurement process?Why do you want to work at CVS Health?Various questions about my experiences.
Scottsdale, AZ
The best aspects about this internship was the ability to network, gain experience, and its events where we learn a lot from the company in general, but as well from specific careers.
Nothing it is a really great program.
It is a great company and the internship program really helps the interns to learn about the organization and the different types of careers CVS Health has to offer to them.

Celebrate Spring With A Hanami Picnic
bento boxes with various delicacies such as takoyaki, maki sushi, fried squid, seasoned bamboo shoots, dango, and sakuramochi. Sakuramochi - literally, "cherry blossom mochi," is a traditional hanami sweet of red bean paste, mochi, and a salted cherry leaf. I also packed sake and Japanese beer. Other people brought Korean food and Chinese food, so it was a multicultural affair. There was even a bottle of prosecco! It was a wonderful day; not too hot, not too cold. We all enjoyed one another's company and ate and drank, and laid on the blankets underneath the blossoms, watching them float in the wind like delicate pink flakes of snow. It is part of the experience for the blossoms to fall into your food and drink; they are edible. The Japanese preserve the blossoms in salt, press them into sweets, or just eat them raw. Cherry blossoms are all over San Francisco right now, and probably just beginning to bud elsewhere. Why not gather together family and friends and have a picnic under the blossoms?

TinyTeRP: A Tiny Terrestrial Robotic Platform
Named after the Terrapin, the mascot of the University of Maryland, the TinyTeRP is a centimeter-scale, open-source robotic platform with modular sensing capabilities that is designed for researchers of swarm and distributed robotics.
The TinyTeRP is designed with cost as a top priority - an assembled TinyTeRP costs approximately $50 and can be produced with common off-the-shelf components. Further, each base TinyTeRP has a footprint of 3 cm2, allowing a large number of robots to be deployed on a table-top test bed. Although other similar robotic platforms have been developed, the TinyTeRP is unique in its modular design and feature set at this scale and cost. The platform hardware and software are fully released under open source licenses.
The base platform can control its motion using Received Radio Signal Strength data. An additional accelerometer+gyroscope module can be used to correct robot trajectories and for other control. A light module can be used to test pheromone-based swarming algorithms.
The contents of this site should be sufficient for an independent researcher to produce and utilize fully functional versions of the TinyTeRP! Instructions, design details, and related software can be found on the 'Hardware' and 'Software' pages.
The paper entitled "TinyTeRP: A Tiny Terrestrial Robotic Platform with Modular Sensing", accepted to ICRA 2013, is hosted below. For work this platform has supported, see the 'Research' tab.
For developer contact information and context for the project, see the 'Resources' tab.

In a study of the health problems of Nashville during the past year, a survey was made of the industries of the community employing a hundred or more men, from the standpoint of the medical service and hygienic measures provided for the care and protection of the health of employees. As many as thirty-five industrial and commercial establishments were investigated. Hazardous processes involving the use of dangerous substances were noted in four of these places; in three, the protection by enclosure and exhaust ventilation appeared to be adequate, while in one of the places examined the method of handling the process was not satisfactory.
After the study had been made, a workman from the factory which was pronounced as having a possible industrial hazard reported, October 23, to a local hospital for examination. The hospital record of the case revealed that the patient's condition had been diagnosed as peptic ulcer.

Night blindness is difficulty seeing in the dark or in low light. One of the most common issues with night blindness is difficulty driving in the evening or at night.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Night blindness is caused by disorders or conditions that affect the cells in the retina that are responsible for vision in dim light (cones). Examples include:
Age is the most common factor that contributes to night blindness. Many eye conditions develop as people get older. Other factors that may increase the chance of night blindness include:
Symptoms are difficulty or inability to see in low light or darkness, even with glasses or contact lenses. While driving, this may also occur a few seconds after the bright headlights of an oncoming car have passed.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A complete eye exam will be done. A blood test can be used to test the amount of vitamin A in your blood.
Treatment depends on the cause of night blindness. Options may include:
Night blindness may require taking extra safety precautions when necessary. This may mean avoiding driving in the evening or at night.

First time buyer for boots and bindings and board. need help..
Okay. I'm 6'0, 180-200lbs (it varies, never tops 200, never dips below 180), boot size is 12.
I don't really hit up park much, I might this winter a little but my main bread and butter will be Big Sky MT runs. I pretty much just carve and have fun. Do some drops off steep cliffs and jumps, but nothing more then 6-15ft, so nothing major.
Always ridden rentals or used boards I picked up at pawn shops for $45-50.
Anyone got good suggestions for boots/bindings/ and/or a board?
I was thinking $850 total for the three, less if I could get away with it. But I will be hitting the mountain almost every day, so quality is definately more important then skating by cheap.
there are plenty of all mountain boards out there that could work for you. You want a stiffer board and bindings if your not going to be jibbing or being park oriented as much. The boots, all i can say is thats a personal preference on based how it feels for your foot. A boot that could be great for me could be awful for you and vice versa so go to your local shop and try them all on. As for boards I could recommend you the k2 podium, possibly burton custom wide. Bindings maybe the k2 formulas. Just spitballing though.
Thanks. I like in Missouri way out in the country, but I'll make a specific trip to the city, it's a 4hr trip so gotta get everything researched first, to get boots. I was thinking, based off what I've read, so correct me if I'm on the wrong line of thinking, of a directional board. I'll end up trying stuff, but mainly I'll just be in the back country and ignoring park.
^ Give me your exact version of backcountry.
Sorry. When I said back country I didn't know what the term implied to everyone, just what myself and my friends used it to describe.
I called a shop and talked to some people that board alot more then me. They recommended the Rome Solution or Rome Anthem in a 161-163 range.
The boots & bindings I'll pick up in a shop tommorow, same as a helmet.
Thanks for the help folks

Tuck: Mike Krzyzewski Spelling Winning
You call him Coach K because you can't pronounce and spell the last name. ?No matter how you spell Coach K's last name, it's meaning to Duke basketball and college hoops is simply winning.
John Wooden is, in my opinion, the great college hoops, and the great coach ever, period. ?Now that I've made that clear, Coach K has defined winning in the modern era of college sports.
Coach K collect win #903 last night in Madison Square Garden over another one of the programs that has defined the last 2 decades of the sport, Michigan State. ?Obviously, the winning for Duke and Coach K won't stop there, but truth is, that is what the man is all about.
Of course it's more, but in a nutshell, that's just what Coach K and Duke does. ?They win. ?And they win a lot. ?They win so much that people hate them for all the winning they do. ?They win with smarter, more talented kids. ?They don't always win NCAA Titles, but in the modern era of college hoops, nobody, no program wins all the time.
UCLA dominated in a different era under Wooden. ?The Wizard of Westwood would won more games if they could have played more games, but the field of competition was different. ?The times were different. ?The rules were different.
In today's game, Coach K does for Duke what any fan could ask for: Win. ?Win a lot of game, win your conference, and get to the NCAA Tournament and give us a chance to win a title. ?Duke has had as many disappointments in the NCAA tournament as they've had successes, but its the opportunity for success that is a tribute to Coach K's excellence.
He wins and gets the most out of his team each and every year. ?Coach K even has a Olympic Gold Medal on his resume, which should have been easy enough to get when you have the most talent, but the USA hadn't won it for 8 years when he came aboard and pulled together NBA superstars, and meshed those egos, as a college coach, and had their?respect, which is no small feat.
Point is, Coach K deal with pressure to win as well as anyone ever. ?There are always?expectations and he still wins. ?It is difficult to stay anywhere, in any job, let alone a sports coaching job, for too long. ?Eventually, people are mad that you don't win enough, or you go without winning a couple of years. ?For Coach K, that has never been a problem. ?All he does is win, win, win, no matter what.
So next time someone asks you to spell K-R-Z-Y-Z-E-W-S-K-I. ?Just say, duh? ?Winning!
