What a wonderful bright spot in our lives that you have given to our family. I will never be able to say thank you enough for helping Heather develope her skills, the drummer you are helping Tommy to be and the fun that we get to share as a family. Toni you and Anne are special people and what you do touch so many people. We had I pray that you will be blessed in your hearts and your lives enriched in ways you cannot imagine.
Hey! I just wanted to say that I am very grateful for you guys and the Rock Academy. I am glad we found you. This is a wonderful program and is benefitting Eli in so many ways. His self confidence is sky high and socially he is much more comfortable. Not to mention his musical abilities- between lessons with Patrick and playing with the band I am just amazed at how far he has come in such a short period of time. Patrick- you are awesome and I really appreciate everything you have done with Eli and the help you gave me in choosing a new guitar for Eli.
I'm sure he will be playing it on Saturday with a huge smile on his face.
He was beaming after the show on Saturday..it made me so happy and proud to see him so ecstatic. They really brought the house down with their set.
So, many thanks to you all…it's hard to describe how much this means to Eli (and myself!) and how much it is benefiting him.
If there is anything I can do to help out at any time, please let me know.
Anne, Patrick and Toni~
What a wonderfully successful evening last night! Thanks to each of you for all you do to get such a performance together!
Shea is having such a great experience with the group In Rock Academy. He thoroughly enjoyed last night and is growing both musically and socially from his time with the band. He also put many hours in on the keyboards in preparation, both figuring out and practicing his parts, and all of his own volition.
Both the venue and the crowd truly give the performers a thrilling learning experience – something all too rare in our education these days. Bravo to you all for your work in putting together such a program!
Shea continues to be very enthused about joining the rock band he rehearsed with last Saturday. He has been practicing the music daily on his own and really likes both the music and the group. As both a parent and a music educator, I appreciate what I see in your organization. Patrick's expertise and enthusiasm are great, as is the music that is selected. (One of our frustrations with the group Shea was in last year was that they learned only a very few songs in many months, and it became very repetitive and much less engaging for Shea. I don't see that happening with this group.) The energy and enthusiasm of everyone around – students, parents, staff – was all very positive and welcoming. Bravo on creating such a wonderful organization for our community! With such a positive program, we are determined to find a way for Shea to join the group.
My son was very fortunate to have Patrick as his guitar teacher for eight incredible years. From the day my son and I met Patrick I knew there was going to be a great connection between them. My son was very young when he first started taking lessons but Patrick was able to relate to him and develop a life-long love of music and guitar playing. Patrick effortlessly instilled confidence and pride in my son's guitar playing ability. Guitar playing at a very young age, I believe, must have some element of fun – fun enough for the child so they don't think playing is work and don't realize they are, in fact, actually learning. Patrick did this for my son and if I was able to predict the future, I believe my son will be playing the guitar all his life because of what Patrick has taught him on many different levels. I truly believe that if you choose Patrick as your guitar teacher you will consider yourself an extremely lucky person to have had that opportunity to learn from him and take advantage of his wealth of knowledge.
As a guitar student, I was a self conscious adult with zero ability. Patrick created a safe place to learn, patiently simplifying concepts until I understood. When I became frustrated, he took me back to the beauty of a single note, reminded me to trust the process and I learned. I deeply appreciate his encouragement and infectious love of music.
Patrick connects with our daughter, Jordana, in such a fun and warm way that she leaves her vocal/guitar lessons filled with joy. I so appreciate how he has always been able to recognize and support her vocal talent and consistently works to stretch her vocally, in such a positive and encouraging way. Our family feels we hit the mother load when we found Patrick. We have tried our share of teachers and Patrick is without a doubt , one of the people we feel most grateful for meeting and we feel he blesses Jordana's life, and ours.
Hamilton is pure invention, plain and simple; one of the best new Producer/songwriters to come along in years, a composer steeped in unrestricted synth formula basement reel sunshine pop aptitude with one ear resting on hip-hop continuum and the other inclined toward the mysteries of Moondog.
Hamilton is one of the most musical artist/ producers in the hip-hop world. I am inspired by the beats and the unique musical gifts that Fitz brings to all styles of music he touches with the energy and imagination of hip-hop originality. Fitz turns everything he touches into something classic…a Fitz Classic.
We would like to express how pleased we are to have Bill as our child's piano teacher. Hi is talented and knowledgeable as a pianist and patient and understanding as a teacher. He has helped our son's enthusiasm and talent. Owen always looks forward to his lessons. Thanks Bill for helping to cultivate our son's joy of music and his desire to learn
I've sung all my life and gotten conflicting suggestions on how to sing, developing bad technique along the way. In less than a year, Wendy corrected many flaws and improved my voice beyond what I hoped for. She knows how the voice works and how to teach it. I wish I'd had her training so many years ago.
Rob is kind and encouraging with my son, Justice and I really appreciate that he sees my child beyond his music ability. My son will be a better person for having met you. Thank you!
Byron is an outstanding teacher and performer. He's an expert in many styles of percussion from classic rock to the world of polyrhythm. Byron knows when to push and when to praise my son, Luke.
John easily engages my 5 year old son in his lessons and had great patience. Jack is truly enjoying his classes. I am extremely pleased.
Wendy is great with technique and style. She's taught me proper form and has exposed me to a whole new variety of music styles. We have worked on Broadway songs, opera and some jazz. She is a fabulous teacher. I have not only learned to sing notes, I've learned to write and read music theory. Wendy is great for people who are serious about music. I love Wendy for everything she had taught me this year and I look forward to everything she will teach me in the year to come.
We adore Whitney. She encourages Rain to stretch her talents. We are very impressed. Thank you for all you do!!
Anne – Congratulations on your "Person of the Week" award from WLOS!! I realize YOUR reward is the pleasure and the blessings you receive through giving to the children, but I am so glad your were recognized for your gift, dedication, sacrifice, and knowledge. The world is definitely a better place with you and people like you that pass on their gifts from generation to generation. CONGRATULATIONS–well-deserved!!
Congratulations to Anne Coombs, the Music Academy and the Rock Academy!
To my long time friend Anne Coombs. You have been a strong and much needed resource for our areas very talented young (and older) musicians. It has been a pleasure to be your friend for 20+years, band mate in Crimes of Fashion when you got your first electric guitar, landlady when you started the school so many years ago, and benefactor when times were tough.
Your success warms my heart, keep on rocking this town!

"Wendy is an amazing talent and lessons with her were always a pleasure. She made me feel very comfortable in my lessons; she instilled confidence and best of all…she made me want to learn more. I LOVE her spirit!"
"Whitney has given my daughter what she was searching for: direction, instruction, and a belief that she can 'go for it'- no matter what the 'it' is. Whitney is an amazing person and instructor- we couldn't have prayed for more and gotten it. She takes an interest in our daughter that is genuine."
"Since starting voice lessons with Whitney, we have noticed an exceptional increase in my daughter's vocal abilities. She has gained the confidence to perform before large crowds and overcome virtually all anxiety. Although she has always loved to sing, this experience has ignited a passion inside her for singing that has enriched her life and the lives of all those who hear her beautiful voice."
"Whitney is so grounded and present that I have no shyness to sing in front of her. I've always wanted to sing, but made my voice little so I would not be heard above anyone else. Now I feel confident that with a bit of practice, I can sing along with people without any shame. She gave me the skills and the tips to help me to continue on my own. I feel like Whitney gave my voice to me. She surprised and delighted me when she tuned in to my in-confidence intuitively, and saw exactly what I needed to bring forth."
"We've had our fair share of music teachers with three daughters. Each of them has offered something different and good. But I must say that Anne Coombs has brought all of the qualities that we've loved in our previous teachers together in one person. She's, first of all, a gifted musician in her own right and that's inspiring. She's committed to our daughter as if she were Anne's only student. She's able to motivate without imposing a burden, and for a busy teenage student this is vitally important. She's always positive and encouraging. Finally, Anne is such a nice person that you're glad to be taking lessons from her just to get to know her."
"I was looking more for a coach to help me to find my own voice and guide me through interpreting a song. I'd studied with classical singing teachers and in a choir, all of whom had a very academic approach- all our work was done through sight reading. I got very excited when I saw that I could pick a song I wanted to sing- and that we wouldn't be using sheet music! Whitney walked me through the beginning stage creating an atmosphere of comfort but at the same time demanding that I learn and achieve certain goals such as maintaining rhythm while singing. She encouraged me to stretch out of my comfort zone experimenting with my voice rather than just hitting notes. When I felt the vibration of my voice for the first in my stomach area I had a deep physical reaction, as if a block was moved out of the way. Since that experience I have felt more pleasure in singing more security and freedom with my own voice. I am very grateful to Whitney for walking me through that beginning process, she is able to create an atmosphere of confidence joy and the necessary discipline needed."
Dance Teacher, Choreographer
"Anne is one super talented lady! I never knew I'd enjoy the sound of a Telecaster until I heard one played by her hands! And she's also a "giant" on a Strat!"
"Whitney is so grounded and present that I have no shyness to sing in front of her. I've always wanted to sing, but made my voice little so I would not be heard above anyone else. Now I feel confident that with a bit of practice, I can sing along with people without any shame. She gave me the skills and the tips to help me to continue on my own. I feel like Whitney gave my voice to me. She surprised and delighted me when she tuned in to my in-confidence intuitively, and saw exactly what I needed to bring forth."
56, Entrepreneur
"Anne is able to teach Clay a lot and make it fun. His music has given him something to feel good about."
"Anne taught me so much, she deserves to be bragged on".
"As a performing musician and former dancer, the stage is not unexplored territory for me. But my voice was an instrument I felt unable to master – in fact, singing in public at all made me self-conscious! My first lesson with Whitney put me at ease immediately, my discomfort evaporated with her kind and encouraging wisdom, guidance and humor. Whitney introduced me to my own voice and its possibilities and I'm so grateful!"
28, English Teacher, Bass Player
"Anne has been teaching Parker (12) guitar for 2 years and he switches between acoustic and electric. His interests have branched out from guitar to trumpet and now piano based on the fundamentals and love of music Anne helped him develop. Her teaching style is effective and approachable. Parker enjoys her summer Guitar Camp, too. I would recommend her to all ages. I hope to sometime take lessons myself! She is a delight."
"Before finding Whitney, I had spent 2 and a half years (and at least a thousand dollars) studying with teachers and singing materials. I thought I at least knew how to sing with my diaphragm but Whitney showed me that I wasn't, but that it was simple to do. On our 3rd lesson I learned it well enough that I could put it into practice on my own, which gave me the confidence to sing and begin to explore my voice. The reality of it is that to date Whitney's course is probably the most worthwhile thing I've done in my study of the voice."
"Anne has been teaching my son, Thomas, a little over three years. He now plays both acoustic and electric guitars. Anne established a positive, relaxed rapport with Thomas from day one. Her gentle, supportive style of instruction is both motivating and fun! While Anne strives to improve the skills of her students, having fun is her primary goal. Thomas' experience with Anne has boosted his self-confidence and has spilled over into other musical endeavors in his middle school band. Thomas will tell anyone who asks that he is a musician: a guitarist, a percussionist and a pianist. Anne seems to be able to bring out the best in him and make him eager to learn more!"
"Anne is a remarkably gifted and dedicated teacher who fosters a love of music in – and brings hidden (and not so hidden) talents out of – her students. She encourages us to play from our hearts and inspires us to bring our own interpretations to what we're playing/singing. I'm learning to play songs I never thought I could, thanks to Anne. She's a rare teacher who, in her teaching, combines necessary rudimentary instruction, kindness, patience, love of music and genuine interest in her students' musical paths. My musical life has been enlivened and enriched by having Anne as a teacher and creative guide, and I highly recommend her!"
"Anne Coombs is an amazing talent. She has performed during many of our events. Her repertoire is extensive and she has been very open and flexible with client special requests. Anne's musicianship and skill, both vocally and on guitar, is impressive, but it's her attitude and willingness to accommodate the needs of our clients that keeps us coming back to her. I couldn't offer a higher recommendation."
President, M7 Event Solutions
"My daughter and I take lessons with Anne. My daughter plays electric guitar and I acoustic. My daughter has been a student since March and I recently started this summer. We love Anne because of her teaching style. She uses positive reinforcement to help build your confidence and makes you feel relaxed. She always has a smile for you and I think she would be a great instructor for anyone. My 13 year old daughter thinks she ROCKS! I think she is pretty cool myself."

Five Video Assignments Designed To Meet the
Various Goals Established For This Course
I. Campus Story.The emphasis here is on story . Take any aspect of campus life and develop a well thought-out video piece with a clear beginning, middle and end structure.
First, write out (type up) all of your shots in the order you plan to tape them. You must hand this in with your videotape. As an example:
Edit in the camera (for this assignment only). Learning the concept of editing in the camera is an important discipline that will save you time later.
Sound will be music (your choice) from a CD that you will bring to class and play with your videotape. You will not use any location sound for this first assignmentonly music.
TIME: Not critical, but between 1 and 3 minutes.
After this assignment, you will be submitting an edited tape, and the audio will edited onto your edited master during the editing process.
Tell a complete story of the person-job interaction through the use of establishing shots, closeups, ECUs, etc.
When you present your video we should get a clear idea of the person, exactly what they do, how they do it, maybe a key person or two they work with, and something of their personality and feelings toward their job.
Sound for this assignment will be a selection of music of your choice. You may include SOT (sound-on-tape) segments if you feel you can confidently handle this at this point in the course. Transfer this music along with any location sound (including interview segments) to your edited master during the editing process.
TIME: Not critical, but between 2 and 4 minutes.
Music and dialogue may only supplement (but not establish or fully communicate) the mood you select. Without your audio we should clearly get the idea. Stick to one mood or feeling, and don't confuse matters by moving from one mood to another.
After seeing your video we should be able to ask 10 people for a one-word description of the mood conveyed and get a reasonably consistent answer.
TIME: Probably rather short. Once you feel you have communicated your mood, quit!
Write the script yourself, or borrow it from a film or play; it doesn't matter.
You will be required to hand in a typed script in proper dramatic script form before your video will be shown.
Keep in mind needed visual variety and the techniques of single-camera film-style production.
NOTE: To meet the minimum requirements of this assignment you must have at least six, consecutive audio cuts from one (speaking) person to another. This is a typical dramatic segment and not a voice-over or one person interviewing another with a single, shared microphone. The people must be in the same master shot; but from here you will cut to closeups of the people speaking.
Pay particular attention to shifts in audio levels, changes in background sound, proper pacing, consistent actor energy levels, etc.
When we hear your video we should not be distracted by unnatural sounding audio transitions. To achieve the desired results this assignment also will also require finesse in working with actors.
Time: precisely 0:30. (Not a second more or less!)
Have a video (and possibly audio) tag at the end that clearly identifies your cause.
Credit is not automatic. To receive credit this must be edited with a non-linear editing system and be a truly effective PSA, one that shows top-notch production techniques.

Illinois Uniform Crime Reporting (IUCR) codes are four digit codes that law enforcement agencies use to classify criminal incidents when taking individual reports. These codes are also used to aggregate types of cases for statistical purposes. In Illinois, the Illinois State Police establish IUCR codes, but the agencies can add codes to suit their individual needs. The Chicago Police Department currently uses more than 350 IUCR codes to classify criminal offenses, divided into "Index" and "Non-Index" offenses. Index offenses are the offenses that are collected nation-wide by the Federal Bureaus of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reports program to document crime trends over time (data released semi-annually), and include murder, criminal sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault & battery, burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. Non-index offenses are all other types of criminal incidents, including vandalism, weapons violations, public peace violations, etc.

This defense will play out of a 3-4 scheme.
Once again, there were a lot of tough choices when it came to picking players for my Dream Team Defense.
I had to leave out players such as Jon Beason, Aaron Smith, Adrian Wilson, Bob Sanders, and Shawne Merriman.
But I believe that this defense would allow my team to win the Lombardi Trophy.

Ashley Hamilton Brings Firepower To 'Iron Man 3'
It's especially good news that Happy Hogan is back for "Iron Man 3," because it seems like Tony Stark needs all the allies he can get.
Variety has the news that Ashley Hamilton will play Firepower, another villain in the film. It's said to be a small part, though we know from the comics that Firepower ends up working alongside the Mandarin. That seems to confirm that the Mandarin will play a role in "Iron Man 3" one way or another, though it hasn't been confirmed that he is a part of the movie.
Considering the fact "Iron Man 3" will "borrow elements" from Warren Ellis's six-issue "Iron Man: Extremis," we can assume that the Mandarin will at least have a small role. The Variety story says "Iron Man 3" will focus "on the spread of a virus through nanotechnology," which very likely is their way of referring to the Extremis serum.
Based on the casting of Rebecca Hall as Maya Hansen and Guy Pearce as Aldrich Killian, it seems like "Iron Man 3" is sticking pretty close to its "Extremis" source material. But since the movie is headed to China, it will be interesting to see if it deviates from "Extremis" in any significant ways. It's also worth noting that James Badge Dale will play the villain Coldblood, and we still aren't quite sure how he fits into the bigger picture.
"Iron Man 3" marks the return of Robert Downey Jr. (who is a good friend of Hamilton's in real life), Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow, with the new addition of Ben Kingsley. Directed by Shane Black, the movie is set to hit theaters on May 3, 2013.
Are you excited about Hamilton's inclusion in this project? Let us know in the comments section below or on Twitter!

The annual Electronic Entertainment Expo may be the biggest, most hype-filled game con of the year, but if you really want to get to the nitty-gritty of gaming, and totally geek-out on a grand scale, it's got to be the annual Game Developers Conference. This morning, GDC's organizers announced a series of panel that is indicative of the passionate geekery of the entire show. They're calling them "Classic Game Postmortems," and the idea is to take legends of the gaming field and have them discuss and dissect some of the greatest older games ever made.
The line-up of speakers reads like a who's-who of the history of gaming itself. We're talking David Crane, Wil Wright, Toru Iwatani, Jordan Mechner, John Romero, Peter Molyneux, Ron Gilbert and more. The talks will cover the making of the games that made the game industry what it is, including Doom, Prince of Persia, Marble Madness, Pac-Man, Pitfall, Populous and more. To say I'm excited about these panels is an understatement. It's a little bit of a dream collection of panelists -- legends, if you will.
If you're not going to be at GDC, don't fret. G4 will be there, and we'll be bringing you everything you could ever want to know, from deep inside the conference, so keep your web browser tuned to G4tv.com beginning on February 28, and we'll overload you with news, interviews, game previews and surprises.
Check out the official GDC site for more details on the classic game lecture series.

Angus Gillespie was overseas when he got a call offering him a scholarship to study engineering at Monash University.
"I was so excited and honoured as Monash was my first preference and to be called and offered a scholarship just a few hours after receiving my VCE results was amazing."
"I have always been interested in finding practical solutions to everyday problems and studying Engineering was a way for me to use and enhance this ability. Engineers drive so many of the technological breakthroughs that enhance our society, and I wanted to be one of them."
When it came to choosing his engineering discipline, Angus chose mechanical engineering.
"The reason I chose Mechanical engineering was the different subjects and areas that the degree exposes you to. In a single day I might learn about the principles behind the Jet engine, the dynamics of a robot arm and how blood flows through arteries in the human body."
Along with a scholarship, Angus has also had the opportunity to be a part of the leadership in a Technological Environment program.
"Through the LITE program I have learnt more about myself and developed skills that have helped me not only with my study but also in my life outside of University."
Angus is not far away from graduating and is currently working on his final year project, which is to redesign part of the Monash Wind Tunnel.
"This was a challenge and a huge responsibility as the tunnel is utilised by companies and researchers from around Australia. Being able to work on a project of this scale was amazing and the skills I have learnt have been invaluable."
"Engineering is one of the most challenging degrees that you can do, however it is also one of the most rewarding. Don't be afraid to ask questions or make mistakes, because that is all part of the University and learning experience. At Monash University there is so much support for students that if you want to, you can achieve anything you want."

What is Neutral Spine and Why Does Sticking Out In Back Harm?
"Neutral spine" is an often-used phrase in exercise and back pain rehab. What does your spine have to do to be neutral? What does it matter?
In general, (this interesting topic can be involved) think of a line through the crest of your hipbone from back to front. The line from the top bump in back (medical abbreviation is PSIS) to the top bump in front (ASIS) should be approximately horizontal (left-hand figure in the drawing).
If you let your spine slouch so that the front of the hip (ASIS) drops downward and the back of the hip tilts outward in back, the small normal inward curve of the lower back increases (drawn figure on right). The spine is no longer neutral. It is over-arched.
Another way to see the anterior hip tilt when the spine is over-arched is to check the line from the ASIS to where the pelvic bones meet in front, called the symphysis pubis (PS). When you hold your spine in neutral, the line from ASIS to PS will be vertical (left drawing). When the ASIS tilts forward and the behind sticks out in back (right drawing and photo), this is an anterior tilt to the hip. The spine is no longer neutral. It is arched - hyperlordotic.
The anterior tilt is easy to see when people stand arched. It is a little harder to measure. Since some experimental subjects are disconcerted to have measuring devices put on their symphysis pubis (PS), the line can, instead, be drawn from the top of the leg bone to the center of the crest of the hipbone. The blue line in the left drawing is vertical, showing the hip is straight and level. When this line tilts forward in front and back at the bottom, that is an anterior tilt to the hip. Note the arrow drawn onto the photo showing the abdomen sticking out in front and the behind pushed out in back. The photo shows standing with pronounced hyperlordosis - too much arch or inward curve to the lower back.
In my laboratory work, I have identified three ways the spine can become hyperlordotic. The anterior hip tilt is one. Hyperlordosis pinches and compresses the lower spine. By any name - overarching, anterior hip tilt, swayback, hollowback, sticking out in back - hyperlordosis is a common contributor to lower back pain. The area may ache after long standing, walking, running, or lifting overhead. Eventually, (over years) overarching can damage the spine joints called facets and nearby structures.
Holding the hip and spine in neutral and not letting the hip tilt forward happens to use a particular set of muscles - your abdominal muscles. Strengthening the abs does not automatically keep the spine neutral. Tightening the abs also does not move the spine to neutral. Using Abdominal Muscles is Not Tightening or Pressing Navel to Spine explains more of why. Simply moving your own spine on purpose and holding healthful position as you go about your activities is how you keep your spine neutral and not sinking into injurious overarching.
Hyperlordosis during daily movement and exercise, and how to prevent the injuries it causes, have been an area of my laboratory investigations for years. I have done several interesting experimental studies (interesting to me, anyway). Upcoming posts will tell a bit about them.

Pediatric whole-body (WB) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an established technique that, with improved accessibility and advances in technology, is being used with increasing frequency for a wide variety of applications. The advantages of WB MRI (over other imaging modalities), particularly its lack of ionizing radiation (of particular concern in pediatric imaging due to children's increased sensitivity to ionizing radiation) and the ability of MRI to image the bone marrow, solid organs, and soft tissues with superior soft-tissue contrast resolution to other techniques, promise that WB MRI has great potential in conditions that are diffuse or multifocal. There is particular interest in its role in the field of pediatric oncology (eg, lymphoma, neuroblastoma, sarcoma, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis). The main disadvantages of WB MRI are its relatively long scanning times, artifacts from motion (requiring patient cooperation or general anesthesia), and limited specificity. However, advances in hardware and imaging techniques, including additional sequences (out-of-phase imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, and contrast enhancement) are reducing the impact of some of these challenges.

AP Exclusive: US changing no-fly list rulesap file photo
Abe Mashal poses for a photo at his home in St. Charles, Ill. in 2011. The Obama administration is promising to change the way travelers can ask to be removed from its no-fly list of suspected terrorists banned from air travel. One of the plaintiffs in the Portland lawsuit, Abe Mashal, was unable to print his boarding pass before a flight out of Chicago four years ago. A counter representative told him he was on the no-fly list and would not be allowed to board.
WASHINGTON The Obama administration is promising to change the way travelers can ask to be removed from its no-fly list of suspected terrorists banned from air travel.
The decision comes after a federal judges ruling that there was no meaningful way to challenge the designation, a situation deemed unconstitutional. In response, the Justice Department said the U.S. will change the process during the next six months. As of late last summer, about 48,000 people were on the no-fly list.
The governments policy is never to confirm or deny that a person actually is on the no-fly list, citing national security concerns. In most instances, travelers assume they are on the list because they are instructed to go through additional screening at airports or because they are told they cant board their flights to, from or within the United States.
The no-fly list is one of the governments most controversial post-9/11 counterterrorism programs because of its lack of due process, long criticized because people cannot know why they were placed on the list and lack a way to fight the decision. Changing how people can challenge their designation could amount to one of the governments most significant adjustments to how it manages the list.
Its long past time for the government to revamp its general procedures, said Hina Shamsi, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union.
Shamsi is among the attorneys who represent 13 plaintiffs who sued the federal government over the current policy, saying it violates their constitutional right to due process. Earlier this summer, a federal judge in Portland, Oregon, agreed with them. The Portland case is one of five around the country challenging some aspect of the terror watch lists.
So far, the government is offering few details about upcoming changes. In a court filing earlier this month, it said it will endeavor to increase transparency for certain individuals denied boarding who believe they are on the No Fly List.
One of the plaintiffs in the Portland lawsuit, Abe Mashal, was unable to print his boarding pass before a flight out of Chicago four years ago. A counter representative told him he was on the no-fly list and would not be allowed to board. Mashal was surrounded by about 30 law enforcement officials, he said.
Mashal appealed the same day but six months later the government responded, no changes or corrections are warranted at this time. He appealed the decision in May 2011. Nine months later, the government said its ruling was final.
The appeals process, known as redress, was started in 2007. The government receives tens of thousands of applications a year, according to court documents.
But 99 percent of those complaints are unrelated to the terror watch lists, the current director of the Terrorist Screening Center, Christopher Piehota, said in a November 2010 declaration related to a California no-fly list lawsuit. At the time, Piehota was deputy director of operations at the center, which determines whether someone is appropriately on a terror watch list.MORE IN World/National BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

Thank you for your interest in supporting the EMS Energy Institute. As you know, energy research is critical to society's future, and we need your help to stay on the cutting edge and train a new generation of energy professionals. With your support we can continue to be a leading research hub for energy science and technology development while offering out-of-classroom experiences for students.
Your contribution can help…
- Upgrade facilities and analytical instrumentation. The Institute provides a footprint for research, including laboratories and equipment that are not available anywhere else at the University. However, our instruments are aging, and the manufacturers no longer support many of them. Right now the EMS Energy Institute is experiencing a crisis in providing instrumentation to our researchers. Your donation will help us procure this much-needed equipment.
- Support undergraduate research experiences. Your gift will enhance a student's educational experience by providing them with a hands-on learning opportunity. Participation in research improves critical thinking, confidence, time management, and teamwork skills, and prepares students for the job market or post-baccalaureate education.
From our students: "My research experience taught me more about designing and building experimental set-ups, data collection, and data analysis than any of my classes because instead of following a set of prescribed lab procedures, I was challenged to collaborate with my colleagues and solve open ended problems." Laura Bradley
"Participating in research projects as an undergraduate student helped me to develop many skills that are difficult to attain through regular classwork." Derek Hall
- Fund collaborative research programs. Your contribution will provide seed funding for new multi-investigator research groups. These groups are designed to encourage inter-program collaboration, attract industrial engagement, and provide opportunities for students by establishing new initiatives, which can transition to self-supported research centers, consortia, or industry membership programs led by Institute-affiliated faculty.
- Sustain Energy Exchange seminar series. The Institute began a seminar series to host talks on clean energy technology and policy, especially in the areas of fossil fuels and biomass to fill a noticeable gap in seminar topics on campus. The series brings research partners and potential research partners to campus to meet our faculty and students and tour our facilities. In addition, it benefits Penn State students by giving them a space to talk with leaders in energy research about their background, their current work, the job market, and more. However, travel costs limit us. Your donation will help us continue to bring high-level speakers to the University.
If you have other ideas about where you would like to direct your gift we would be happy to work with you. For questions about giving opportunities, please contact Shea Winton, firstname.lastname@example.com or 814-865-4575.

RUSH: Here's Jody at Lake O'Ryan in Michigan. Thank you for calling, great to have you on the EIB Network.
CALLER: Hey, Rush, it's great to talk to you. I talked to you once before. I've been listening to you for a couple years now and I think I'm getting brighter, but there's a lot to be learned, I know, and I'm no expert in foreign affairs, but what really confuses me about the liberals is the hypocrisy when they talk about how we have no reason to be in Iraq and helping those people, but yet everybody wants us to go to Darfur. I mean, aren't we going to end up in a quagmire there? I don't understand. Can you enlighten me on that?
RUSH: Yeah, you're not going to believe this, but it's very simple. And the sooner you believe it, and the sooner you let this truth permeate the boundaries you have that tell you this is certainly not possible, the better you will understand Democrats in everything. You are right. They want to get us out of Iraq, but they can't wait to get us into Darfur.
CALLER: Right.
RUSH: There are two reasons. What color is the skin of the people in Darfur?
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: It's black. And who do the Democrats really need to keep voting for them? If they lose a significant percentage of this voting bloc they're in trouble.
CALLER: Yes, the black population.
RUSH: Right. So you go into Darfur, and you go into South Africa. You get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela, who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia, do the same thing.
CALLER: I can't believe it's really that simple.
RUSH: Well, see, I knew you couldn't believe it. But here's one that's even going to be harder to believe, and it is even more truthful. Could you tell me what vital national interest is at stake in Darfur?
CALLER: I don't know.
RUSH: Nothing. Zilch, zero, nada. Darfur is not attacking us. Darfur has not said they want to attack us. Clinton sent the US military off to Bosnia. No US national interests at stake there. The liberals will use the military as a Meals on Wheels program. They'll send 'em out to help with tsunami victims, but you put the military in a position of defending US national interests, and that's when Democrats and liberals oppose it.
CALLER: Right. Terrorists have attacked us, and our oil supply comes from Iraq and Iran and the Middle East, and yet that's not worth defending.
RUSH: Exactly right. You've got it. Now you just have to believe your own instincts from here on out.

Can Pixar rebound with a prequel then? Monsters University takes viewers back to before Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan were the top ranked scarers at their company, to the days when they spent more time playing Monster Beer Analogue Pong, skipping classes and getting up to all kinds of shenanigans.

Reviews for this vacation condo rental in Chicago, Illinois
Amazing place

Amazing place
November 10, 2015
Hey , Stayed there October 29th-November 1st .... Would defiantly stay there again !! The bed was AMAZING !! The hot tube was a added plus the whole place was amazing and bigger then we thought . Took the blue/red line everywhere was very easy to get to places and the place was right near the exit walked to a lot of places .. Highly reccomend staying there again Also Awsome place for Halloween

Very Clean, quiet peaceful location, 2 blocks south from metro train, 3 blocks north from Taylor street for many restaurants and bars, 1 block from Divvy bike rentals. La Casa is beautiful and cozy. landlords are easy to deal with and checkin in and out is simple and convienient. My only non-positive suggestion would be that the building is old and that gives la casa an old house smell. Also the hot tub motor randomly turns on in the middle of the night and its loud. Overall, a high class bang for your buck!

The condo was incredibly clean and modern with all of the amenities to feel right at home. About five blocks over, there's a ton of restaurants, coffee shops and bars. The jacuzzi was a slice of paradise. Great location, we took a Lyft wherever we went and were there within 10-15 mins. Would definitely stay again!

Tracy & Raphael were great in terms of responding to questions I had. Pros include an absolutely beautiful location, just a minute walk away from Taylor St. Even more luckily for us, Festa Italia was going on while we were there and we spent every night perusing all the food and wine there. The actual place was pretty neat. There was a huge hot tub in the LL that doubled as a "mini-pool" for my kids. It was well decorated and roomy and had almost everything you would need for a starter kitchen. And for being so close to Festa Italia, it was actually very quiet and felt very safe. We went to the Shedd/Children's Museum/Adler area almost every day and it was only about a 20 minute car ride. And best of all (for parents) is that Tracy & Raphael already installed a baby gate for the basement stairs and had a high chair there waiting for us. Con's: the bathroom floor was... not cleaned. And neither was the floor under the bed or sofas. But overall, we actually want to use this condo again in the future for our Chicago trips.
Owner's reply:
We are so glad they enjoyed the condo and had a great time. They informed us of the dirty bathroom floor upon check in and we immediately let our cleaning person know to make sure every part of the floor is clean. They are usually meticulous but everyone can forget at times. Hope to see them again in the future.
Beautiful place, close to downtown

We stayed in the upstairs apt. It was wonderfully laid out, with all mod cons. The apartment was spacious and I felt very safe walking around the neighbourhood. The apt is advertised as being close to the blue line, which it was, however each time I took the blue line from downtown I had a bad experience. After the second day I decided to only use the pink line, which is slightly further away ( the Polk station is less than ten minutes walk from the apt) but I felt safer on this line and also it goes directly to the loop which makes for easier connections. There were lots of lovely restaurants close by and my teenagers said that the best pizza they had during our stay was from Taylor made pizza on Taylor street. If I was coming to Chicago again I would definitely stay here again.
Great place to stay!

Very nice clean, comfortable accommodation, close to blue-line subway stop, so easy access to downtown. Great restaurants within easy walking distance. The owners went out of their way to be helpful by providing info regarding sightseeing, restaurants, transportation and shopping. They were very easy to contact and always answered promptly. Thanks Tracy and Raphael.

I must say I have been to Chicago many of times, but this was one of the best places I have stayed thus far. The earth tones in the condo was very warm an inviting. The bed was fantastic and the jacuzzi was awesome. The neighborhood was very friendly and quiet. The owners Raphal and Tracy was great. very attentive. I will be back this summer to visit again, and I will be staying in the same condo if it is available. Really I loved it..... SJW

A great place for a mellow vacation! Easy to get to downtown too, if you want to explore. But we really just needed to hang out together and sleep, and it was great! Roomy, cozy, great brunch places nearby.

Location, owners, and home were great -very kept, clean and updated plus plenty of space and amenities, not to mention the huge Jacuzzi. Little Italy was a nice safe neighborhood, easy to catch a cab, and only 5min or so from downtown. Why would you stay in a hotel a fourth of the size for double the money?!?! Will definitely be back.

We recently stayed here for three nights. The condo is owner run and the owner was very helpful and informative. The condo was great and definitely a unique place to stay. The jacuzzi was amazing to relax in after a long day of sight seeing. It's location is great as well. Close to the L and in the middle of Little Italy. Aside from the somewhat uncomfortable sofa-bed (but which ones are?) the place was fantastic. Will definitely stay here again!!

The Melody at Night, With You
ECM Records
As for those solo recordings with which Jarrett may or may not have spawned New Age music nearly 30 years ago, there is little trace of their expansive, unrestrained spirit in The Melody at Night, With You. If anything, his unaccompanied playing in this collection of standards resembles the reserve of his Mozart performances more than the voluminous meanderings of, say, his Bremen and Lausanne concerts of 1973. The tempos are slow, the surfaces placid, the listening easy. It could serve as background music. Still, Jarrett is Jarret; he stirs blues changes into "I Got it Bad and That Ain't Good," makes "Someone to Watch Over Me" a lament leavened by hopeful harmonies and, generally, adds chordal colorings and dynamic shadings that keep the listener's attention. He doesn't stray so much as a bar away from the melody of "Be My Love," of all things, but his left hand keeps the performance interesting for five-and-a-half minutes. He does much the same for "Shenandoah" and "My Wild Irish Rose" (Did John Lewis steal that first bar for "Skating in Central Park?"). The hypnotic three-and-a-half-minute coda Jarrett builds on the final chord of "Blame It on My Youth" is reminiscent of-may have been inspired by-Bill Evans' "Peace Piece." This is a lovely album. Jarrett vocaleseaphobes will be happy to know that he utters only one groan. But it's perfectly placed.

Florida city's 'stop and frisk' nabs thousands of kids, finds 5-year-olds 'suspicious'
Miami Gardens police records reveal broad policy of stopping and questioning citizens: 8,489 kids and 1,775 senior citizens caught up in city's version of "stop and frisk."
In the summer of 2010, a young black man was stopped and questioned by police on the streets of Miami Gardens, Florida. According to the report filled out by the officer, he was "wearing gray sweatpants, a red hoodie and black gloves" giving the police "just cause" to question him. In the report, he was labeled a "suspicious person."
He was an 11-year-old boy on his way to football practice.
A Fusion investigation has found that he was just one of 56,922 people who were stopped and questioned by Miami Gardens Police Department (MGPD) between 2008 and 2013. That's the equivalent of more than half of the city's population.
Not one of them was arrested.
It was all part of the city's sweeping "stop and frisk" style policy that may be unparalleled in the nation.
According to a review of 99,980 "field contact" reports, they were stopped, written up and often identified as "suspicious" — but just like the 11-year-old boy — the encounter was recorded in a public database, and they were let go.
Thousands more were arrested after being stopped by the police, raising the total number of people ensnared by the policy to 65,328 during the five-year period.
"I have never seen a police department that has taken the approach that every citizen in that city is a suspect. I've described it as New York City stop-and-frisk on steroids." said Miami-Dade County Public Defender Carlos Martinez.
Last year, a Miami Herald report exposed how the MGPD repeatedly stopped and arrested employees and customers of a local convenience store including, Earl Sampson, who was stopped more than 200 times.
Fusion's analysis of more than 30,000 pages of field contact reports, shows how aggressive and far-reaching the police actions were. Some residents were stopped, questioned and written up multiple times within minutes of each other, by different officers. Children were stopped by police in playgrounds. Senior citizens were stopped and questioned near their retirement home, including a 99-year-old man deemed to be "suspicious." Officers even wrote a report identifying a five-year-old child as a "suspicious person."
Fusion's Investigation also found evidence that some field contact reports may have been falsified. There were many instances were multiple reports were filed just minutes apart – all claiming to stop the same person. Other reports claimed a person was stopped on the streets by police, when in fact, they were actually in jail at the time.
Two officers from the MGPD told Fusion that high-ranking department officials gave them orders to "bring in the numbers" by conducting stops and arrests. One officer said he was ordered to stop all black males between 15 and 30 years of age.
According to the current police chief, simply being in a "high crime area" may be enough reason to stop and question people. Because of the city's high crime rate, this means virtually any person can be stopped.
"You're essentially saying you have reasonable suspicion to stop everybody in your community. That's crazy, because that means they're exercising no discretion," says Martinez, the Miami-Dade public defender.

Whether you are seeking a Hanukkah story, Christmas book, or even something about the winter solstice, we have some suggestions. Our list of recommended reads is for children of all ages. Peruse, and find one that suits your family best!
The Amazing Menorah of Mazeltown by Hal Dresner & Joy Fate
Mazeltown, in the Cry-Me-a-River valley, is a dreary village on the dark, cold days leading up to Hanukkah. But everything changes when Molly and Max stumble upon an old and grimy menorah in their father's junkshop. After a quick polish Mazeltown starts to experience some strange goings on. Night by night, the magic of the menorah is brightening the streets, whitening the sheets, lofting the bagels, making the river glow with life and lighting up everyone's heart.
A Christmas Bear for Me by Jennifer Dewing
This is a beautiful, heart-warming, personalized story about a child's Christmas wish for a special Teddy Bear friend. Each copy of the book comes with an adorable plush Gund® bear with the child's name on the tag and a personalized letter to the child from Santa. Written by Jennifer Dewing and illustrated by the nationally renowned artist Wilson Ong, A Christmas Bear for Me follows the child's journey from longing and wishing to the magic of Christmas morning, when the child finds his or her special bear along with a personalized note from Santa under the tree.
A Nutty Nutcracker Christmas by Ralph Covert & G. Riley Mills
This is no ordinary Nutcracker! This time, it's Fritz's story. The traditional Nutcracker tale gets turned on its head in this rollicking Christmas adventure, based on the hit musical A Nutty Nutcracker Christmas by the popular family music rock star Ralph Covert and playwright G. Riley Mills. Includes a bonus CD of songs from the musical, featuring a read-aloud track with the music and story woven together.
Tinycandy's Gift by Susan Estes
This book is a Christmas story of an elf named Tinycandy who is a little different from the other elves because he walks with a cane. Tinycandy is desperate to find his special "gift" in order to contribute to Christmas in Santa's workshop and become accepted by the other elves. Tinycandy soon discovers that his gift is making special candies shaped like hooks that make Christmas a little sweeter for everyone. Impressed by Tinycandy's new talent, Santa christens the special treats "Candy Canes." Estes creates a unique history of how the candy cane got its name and weaves in a classic tale that conveys to children one of the pivotal rules of life.
William and the Christmas Moon by Laura Robinson
William stays up late to watch for Santa Claus. While staring into the landscape he takes a visual journey through the moonlit surrounds where he and his grandfather spend their days exploring. He then falls asleep, dreaming of a flight in his own grandfather's sleigh, where "wrapped in sheets of soft moonlight, William glimpsed his gifts that night." William's description of these gifts – his newfound appreciation of the moonlight and their time spent in the stark winter landscapes –in turn become his grandfather's most treasured Christmas gift. This book is a shadow-casting bedtime story, which transforms a child's bedroom into a magical shadow theater. A special flashlight illuminates the text for the reader, while projecting large shadows of the intricate laser-cut illustrations onto the wall.
The Winter Solstice by Ellen Jackson
This book tells about the origins of winter holidays and celebrations all over the world, with an emphasis on Christmas. It ends with a beautiful Cherokee legend about the origin of the evergreen. It received the Children's Choice Selection award, given by the International Reading Association. It is a definite child favorite, as books are chosen for this award through children's voting.

Audio Line In/Out Adapter?
I'm looking for a adapter to buy or build that would have the male 3.5mm TRRS plug (same as on the Mic/Phones that are OEM) to go into my SGP5 (or any Android Device) and have a Stereo 3.5mm out for Phones and a Mono 3.5mm In for Audio.
This technically would not be a "Line" In/Out as much as it would be a "Audio" In/Out because it would still be subject to the apps volume levels.
At first this looked easy enough, just build a break-out box and split the Mic and Phones into two connectors. But.... Not so fast "Grasshopper", there is a lot more going on here. Pins 3&4 on the TRRS are for the Mic/Button. When the OEM Mic/Phones are plugged the Android device detects the mic's impedance (resistance) about 1,800 ohms and switches to the external mic. When the button is pushed this resistance drops to about 97 ohms and the device detects that as a button push. Pretty neat.
I have various items plugged into my PC's soundcard. I now I have a few similar apps for the SGP5 and would rather hardwire the audio inputs vs using the internal mic. There are a few "cheats" I could do like build the break-out box and cut up a Mic/Phone using just the mic for acoustical coupling, which I may do for now.
Anyhow, sorry for getting so wordy here. Has anyone seen any adapters or schematics that might be useful?

"The Unbridled Woods" is an illustrated book for middle grade children, centering on twins Samantha and Matthew who live in Mississippi, circa 1845. The twin's father, John, is a respected judge; their mother, Ellen, comes from money and spends most if her time organizing charity events and shopping, pretty much what was expected of women of means at that time. In the woods one day, the twins find a beautiful locket and scarf, both bearing the initials L.I.A. It is there that they discover Princess Lia, who comes from a world at war and has been separated her from her family in order to protect them.
Sebastian, an evil wizard who can change form at will, poses as an old Frenchman determined to take Lia away. Eventually Lia is hidden with Jamie and Kayla, the twin's servants. Jamie knows three men who also are practitioners of magic and they help to resolve Lia's predicament.
Nosser's decision to set the story in 1845 Mississippi is an interesting one. The words "servants" and "slaves" are used to describe Jamie and Kayla—and their home—referred to as "the shack", is shown in an illustration as run down, with barefoot children running about in worn out clothes. This depiction provoke an explanation to children who have not yet learned about slavery in their history or social studies class.
Some of the book's dialogue is simplistic, even for a middle grade reading level, with too much repetition. On the upside, the story is enriched by Lauren Leslie's illustrations, which are quite to be distinctive in detail and style. Lia's back story could serve as material for a sequel, since she informs the twins she has the power to bring them to her world.

Powering up to protect our planet
Since launching our Carbon Management Plan back in 2007, Intrepid Travel has invested over $1 million in renewable energy projects. For those of you with a head for numbers, that's 83,613 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions prevented – or the equivalent of taking 9,000+ cars off the road for an entire year!*
At the end of each financial year our Responsible Business gurus get busy measuring the environmental footprint of our offices and trips, introducing energy-saving mechanisms where possible and offsetting those emissions that can't be avoided through our renewable energy supplier. Frankly, it's a lot of work. And when the allocated credits have been exhausted we also need to select the project, or projects, that we'll be supporting for the coming year.
In putting the call out to renewable energy suppliers, prospective projects and partnerships are researched and assessed according to the amount of carbon we'll be needing to abate, the positive environmental impact the investment will engender and the pricing per tonne. Ideally, we also like the project to be in one of the countries where we send our travellers. So we're thrilled to announce our latest signing with clean energy consultants Climate Friendly and supporting of the Alize Çamseki wind farm in Çanakkale, Turkey!
Climate Friendly is committed to ensuring the highest standards of quality in the voluntary carbon sector. A founding member of the International Carbon Reduction and Offset Alliance, their projects are accredited under the most stringent international standards – meaning an investment is guaranteed to make a real and positive contribution to the fight against climate change.
The project's 11 wind turbines produce approximately 82,000 MWh of electricity annually; enough to power 41,000 households, and preventing 52,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere every year. As a Gold Standard project, Alize Çamseki not only improves energy security, but the project is regularly measured and verified for the socioeconomic and environmental benefits it provides the nearby villages. Locally the project is known as 'The Thyme Project' after the wild thyme that grows in the area which the local shepherds feed to their goats.
Every time you set out on your Intrepid adventure, you can do so in the knowledge that you're helping to protect and preserve nature's spoils for generations of travellers to come.

Natural Creativity: Sex and Trickery
- 19 October — 23 December 2016 *on now
Why is the natural world so colourful and varied? This exhibition of drawings by Clara Lacy looks at the myriad of shapes, sizes and behavioural tactics some animals have evolved in order to survive, reproduce and pass on their genes.
It is commonly assumed that animals are born either male or female then reproduce as adults, but things can get much more interesting. Some species change sex over their lifetime, become a grandmother before giving birth, or trick others into thinking they belong to the opposite sex.
Clara Lacy is the Artist in Residence in the Mank Lab at University College London's Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment. Working closely with the scientists based there, Lacy's illustrations bring to life their research into the amazing variety of sexual and genetic survival strategies in the animal kingdom.
