Bob Dylan (b. 1941) is an American musician, poet and artist.
Born Robert Allan Zimmerman (and named Shabtai Zisl ben Avraham in Hebrew), he legally changed his name to Bob Dylan in 1962. Dylan's native town is Duluth, Minnesota, a city named after French explorer Daniel Greysolon, sieur du Lhut, a broker of peace treaties who sailed down the St. Croix in search of the Vermilion Sea.
Emerging from the American Folk Revival and the Dinkytown[1] scene, Dylan set all the cultural watchdogs barking when he abandoned the obviously pure, perennial values of folk music and cut a record with an electric band. That record was Bringing it All Back Home, Dylan's first Top 10 break on the Billboard charts. Writing for the Rolling Stone Record Guide in 1979, critic Dave Marsh claimed that it created a new kind of rock 'n' roll, combining the new, urgent rhythms of the sixties with the left-leaning themes of the American Folk Revival.[2]
Although the media have made much of his religious life, and an impression may linger in the noosphere that Bob Dylan changes religions every couple of months, he's clearly stated that songs give him all the spirituality he needs -- music teaches him more than any religious organization or entity ever could. Dylan's famously declared that this world is not "the real one." For the past 20 years he's supported the Chabad Lubavitch movement, a school of thought in Judaism that emphasizes mind over emotion. Shneur Zalman of Liadi, founding father of Chabad Lubavitch, writes in the Tanya that the heart is useless without the mind.
Dylan changes. Once, you might say, he defined the times. Now he resists definition, but still writes the kind of music that makes the heart a vessel for the mind.
Who is the man they once dubbed the voice of a generation? What does his mind run to? What can Bob Dylan teach you about writing a novel, story or play?
"A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom."
In fiction, as in life, a hero realizes that staying put is not the answer. Refuse to act, and people will get hurt or deceived.
So the hero finds him- or herself in the wrong place at the right time and must make a decisive gesture. Heroic actions are either reactive or proactive. Carl, who runs into a burning building to save a little child trapped by the fire has reacted. Zora, who opens a free clinic in an unfamiliar deprived neighborhood, of her own initiative, is proactive.
At first these two examples don't seem to have much in common. Carl's deed played out in five minutes, while Zora clearly has long-term plans. Both Carl and Zora believe they can take on the challenge at hand. A hero looks at the chaos around him and decides to believe in something, no matter how trivial.
I can hit a home run.
I can stop that mugging.
I can make a difference.
Everything we do, and by extension everything a character does, is grounded in belief. Now, belief isn't magic. It won't give you wings or X-ray vision. But the self-determined path of a hero demands that you own your choices. As Dylan said, "People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent."
"I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be."
When Roland Barthes wrote his seminal essay, "The Death of the Author" (1967) critics were used to sticking their noses in writers' sock drawers, looking for biographical clues that might help explain the text.
It felt like a great interpretive method. Tidy. Convenient. Was anything but.
If Lady Edna Mészöly-Farnsworth[3] wrote exclusively about blind gerbils, must one surmise that she liked gerbils and abhorred blindness, or liked blindness and abhorred gerbils? Perhaps she detested both with equal passion? Who knows.
As W.K. Wimsatt and Monroe Beardsley wrote in "The Intentional Fallacy" (1946), "the design or intention of the author is neither available nor desirable as a standard for judging the success of a work of literary art."
We look at the world, not just at fiction, through the dirty glasses of the intentional fallacy more often than we realize. We want this carousel to mean something, we want order. People complain about predictability, but in truth everybody loves it. I love it. So do you. I expect that my computer will boot every morning without so much as a digital hiccup, and also that the street will be relatively zombie-free. We assume that reality is maintained by an outside force, a cosmic janitor that sweeps chaos under the rug and keeps the sky from raining frogs (most of the time).
That janitor, we hired him. He doesn't really exist except in our minds; I call him Consensus. It takes quite an effort to look past Consensus -- he's big, so big that some people don't even realize he exists -- but you can punch these little holes in the Cosmic Janitor and take a peek at the Other Side.
How do you do it? The answer is simple; ask questions like
- What does patriotism look like to a stateless individual?
- How does it feel to be the last living speaker of an old language?
- What do persons of color think about people who claim they "don't see race"?
- How do you explain color to a blind person?
Received ideas and expectations are attractive, compelling, easy to work with, but they're molds somebody else made for you. Are you going to make some of your own, or let the entire contents of your head be dictated from the outside?

Building codes and regulations are not normally done at a national level in the United States. Many states and territories have established their own codes and regulations. In addition, there are thousands of local jurisdictions and authorities that set building and hence airtightness requirements. Because of that, there are many non-governmental organizations that help states, counties, utilities and other institutions in setting airtightness methods, requirements and guidelines. This paper will provide some background of Blower Door testing and an overview of the airtightness situation in the US with respect to standards, requirements and approaches.JF - International Airtightness Workshop CY - Brussels, Belgium U2 - LBNL-5713E ER -

ST. PETERSBURG — With 2:39 remaining in the game between Indian Rocks Christian and Canterbury, it appeared the Class 2A, District 5 standings would be an even bigger jumbled mess than before the game.
IRC quarterback Casey Woods had just hit Sean Culkin for a 49-yard TD pass that put the Golden Eagles ahead by two scores at 41-27. Canterbury, though, didn't cave, and instead produced one of the greatest come-from-behind victories of the season.
With the aid of an onside kick, Canterbury scored two touchdowns over the final two minutes to force overtime, took the lead on a Brent O'Neal touchdown and two-point conversion in the extra frame and knocked away an IRC two-point pass attempt for a
49-47 victory.
Canterbury retains possession of first place in the district and controls its own playoff destiny.
"We turned the ball over four times. We had two touchdowns called back," Canterbury coach Bill Jones said. "We hurt ourselves all night, but the kids didn't quit."
Canterbury (6-1, 5-1) trailed 34-19 with 3:21 to go but crawled to within a touchdown after Jake Holsinger (12-for-22, 340 yards, three touchdowns) hit Brent O'Neal on an 80-yard touchdown pass. Less than a minute later, though, Woods found Culkin with what seemed to be the game-sealing score.
Canterbury, however, wouldn't go away. On a play where he faked grounding the ball to stop the clock, Holsinger connected with DaSean Thomas (nine catches, 241 yards, three touchdowns) on a 22-yard touchdown pass after Thomas reached over his head with one hand to pull the ball in.
"That's the best catch I've seen all year," Jones said. "One-handed, back of the end zone, phenomenal."
Holsinger recovered an onside kick for Canterbury, and after moving the ball down to the IRC 3-yard line in seven plays and 41 seconds, O'Neal rushed into the end zone to tie the score.
In overtime, O'Neal carried twice, running into the end zone from 7 yards out on second down. After IRC (4-3, 3-3) was offside on the extra point, Jones elected to go for two, and O'Neal again powered over the goal line.
"We've got playmakers," Jones said. "We're confident it's going to turn out in our favor."

Hey guys, I have been absent from the forum for quite some time mainly because my computer died and I have yet to get another one. But, This situation and another that happened today have prompted me to find another computer and see what you think and hopefully get back to being more active.
January 1st, 2012. It was a normal Sunday night in my apartment complex. My wife and I finished putting the baby to bed and cleaning up and were just getting ready to get undressed and in bed. At about 9;15 I hear a loud banging on the door. My through was "No one bangs like that at 9pm unless they are mad or are the police"
I look out the peep and see nothing which makes me think its the police. I then hear "Austin Police you need to open up!"
My dogs were going crazy so I cracked the door and looked out to see 3 officers with their guns out in the low ready. The Superior officer told me that they had received a call that I was suicidal, had a gun, and was beating my wife and I needed to come out. I said that that was crazy but they said they were obligated to be sure. I then told them I would come out but needed to inform them that I was a conceal carry permit holder and had my pistol on my hip. She said that was fine I just better have my hands up. I stuck my hands out the door and walked out.
By this time my wife had the dogs in the bedroom and as I opened the door I told her "baby, please make sure the dogs stay in there".
I walked out and while one of them kept his gun ready, the other patted me down while another disarmed me and held my hands. She asked if she could see my wallet and I gave permission. They sat me on the ground and I asked "now, WHAT is going on!?!" They were like "you tell us, why are we here?"
I racked my mind trying to think if maybe I had accidentally done something. Did I clean a gun with the blinds open? No, I am far to careful for that. Did I 'brandish' while getting out of the car? No, Again, that doesn't happen to me... So I responded, "I have NO CLUE"
About that time she found my ID and said "Your Not Aaron Boster! You said you were Aaron!" I said, "No, I never said I was Aaron, I never said anything, you just hauled me out here and told me I was beating my wife.
They worked a few things out and figured out that I was not who they were looking for. They were both pissed and embarrassed at the mistake. They Put my pistol inside and apologized. 10 minutes later I hear them banging on the neighbors door and thats when it went down for real. They found the real Aaron hiding in the bathroom and arrested him. We always hear some mean sounding ruckus from that apartment.
I don't know what to think, Part of me says I should never had opened the door. And I know there are those that will say that thats the only right thing to do. On the other hand I knew I hadn't done anything wrong and It was over in 5 minutes.
What do you guys think? My favorite part was the captain saying "When you said you had a gun I thought 'this is him' but then you turned and kindly called your wife 'baby' and I thought...thats not right..."
I would have done the same. However, the reality is for you to MOVE.
"A free man is he who does not fear to go to the end of his thought."
you answered the questions and they left.... done. don't answer the door and it could have got ulgy
Like barstoolguru, I wouldn't recommend ignoring the police when they tell you to open up.
If you have questions as to whether it's REALLY the police or not, call the police (911 or non emergency #) and ask whether they are relly cops banging on your door.

Dates: Feb. 15-16, 2013
Time: 9:05 p.m. ET
Location: USAF Academy, Colo.
Rink: Cadet Ice Arena
The Canisius College hockey team heads west for a crucial two-game series against Air Force during the weekend. The teams are set to meet on Friday and Saturday at 9:05 p.m. ET.
• Canisius (11-14-5, 10-9-2 AHA) is currently tied for fourth in the conference standings and is one spot behind third-place Air Force.
• Last week, the Griffs split a pair of tight games with nationally-ranked Niagara, posting a 2-0 win on Thursday before a 2-0 loss on Saturday.
• Junior Kyle Gibbons had his nine-game point streak against No. 15 Niagara end, but still leads Canisius with 22 points and 14 goals.
• Junior Tony Capobianco has anchored the nation's sixth-ranked defense with a 2.11 goals against average and .932 save percentage.
• The Griff defense has been the key for the team's success this season.
• Canisius has allowed only 65 goals in 30 games during the season.
• The Griffs currently rank sixth nationally and first in Atlantic Hockey with a scoring defense of 2.17 goals per game.
• Junior Tony Capobianco has led the way for the Griffs on the defensive end and places among the best in Division I this season.
• Capobianco currently ranks 11th nationally with a .932 save percentage and 17th with a 2.11 goals against average.
• He is coming off one of his best weekends with a 0.50 goals against average and .987 save percentage against No. 15 Niagara, stopping 77-of-78 shots with only a deflection off a referee leading to a NU tally.
• One secret behind the team's defensive success is on the penalty kill.
• Canisius owns the nation's top penalty kill unit, successfully killing 91.0 percent of power plays this year (101-of-111).
• The penalty kill success shows a huge improvement from last year.
• During the 2011-12 campaign, Canisius killed only 77.7 percent of its opponents' power plays. The Griffs ranked 51st of 58 teams nationally.
• Special teams was the biggest downfall for the Griffs last year as the team was outscored by 33 goals (but only minus-13 even-strength). This year, Canisius is +10 on special teams.
• Another strength this year for the Griffs on the penalty kill is the team's ability to limit the damage.
• Canisius has yet to allow two power-play goals in any single contest.
• The Griffs are one of two schools in the country not to surrender multiple power-play tallies this season (Minnesota is the other).
• Canisius allowed at least two extra-man tallies in 12-of-36 games during the 2011-12 campaign (or once every three contests).
• In one of the most evenly-contested series, Air Force holds a slight advantage against the Griffs, going 7-5-7 in 19 all-time meetings.
• Since the beginning of the 2008-09 campaign, the series is deadlocked at 3-3-5 with five of the last seven games going into overtime.
• Overall, 10 of the last 12 meetings between the two schools have either resulted in a tie, been decided by one goal or been decided by two goals with an empty-net tally.
• Canisius is one of only two Atlantic Hockey teams to own a winning record at Air Force (Mercyhurst is the other), with a 3-2-4 mark in Colorado. Since joining Atlantic Hockey, the Falcons are 65-21-11 (.727 winning percentage) against the rest of the league.
• The schools battled to a 1-1 draw in Buffalo earlier this season with Canisius holding a 31-18 advantage in shots.
• Air Force enters the weekend in third place of the Atlantic Hockey standings with a 10-6-5 record and is 12-10-7 overall.
• The Falcons took 3-of-4 points at Mercyhurst last weekend. Overall, Air Force has lost only one of its last 10 games, going 6-1-3 during that span.
• Kyle De Laurell leads the team with 25 points and 13 goals this season. Cole Gunner ranks second with 24 points, including a team-best 18 assists.
• Jason Torf has started the last 28 games for the Falcons, posting a 2.34 goals against average and .922 save percentage.

Faculty: Work with Librarians to Support Student Research SkillsFriday, August 28th, 2009
As you prepare for the coming semester, consider working with library liaisons to your academic department.
Liaisons offer discipline-specific instruction on basic to advanced research skills for your students, and will host classes in the library or come to you. Liaisons also provide individualized consultations with faculty and students, and can help to advocate for the purchase of library materials in your field.
Associate Professor Kelley Helmstutler Di Dio, whose art history classes were recently visited by a liaison wrote, "I wanted to thank you for doing such a great job teaching the students about locating such a variety of sources. Many of them have written me to express how grateful they are for the session and how useful it has been for them already. You made the sessions very interesting and lively and I especially appreciate how you tailored the sessions to each class's research project."

BUIES CREEK – Campbell holds sole possession of second place in the Big South standings as the Fighting Camels host Presbyterian in a three-game regular season finale series this weekend at Taylor Field. The PC Blue Hose are coming off a 3-2 victory over Duke on Tuesday and are winners of three of their last four games after a series win over Gardner-Webb last weekend.
The meeting this weekend will be the first time Campbell and Presbyterian have met on the baseball diamond. PC is 23-29 on the season, 9-12 in Big South play. The series gets underway Thursday evening at 6 p.m. On Friday, Campbell will be holding "Johnny Parker Day" in honor of the father of former student-athlete Colin Parker (class of 2011). Friday's game time is also set for 6 p.m., and more information on the event can be found here.
CU will honor its seniors on Saturday, holding a special ceremony prior to the 1 p.m. start time. The team has accumulated a 27-6 record at Taylor Field this season.
Two Camels broke school single season records during last weekend's series sweep over Radford. Michael Felton surpassed Ellis Lowe's season hits record of 92 and currently has 95 hits this season. The Big South Conference record is 100 hits, established by Dominic Pattie (UNCG, 1997) and Jacob Dempsey (Winthrop, 2006). Ryan Mattes recorded a save in all three wins over Radford to set a new mark for saves in a season with nine. Felton and Mattes were named Big South Player and Pitcher of the Week, respectively, for their record-breaking performances during the week.
Campbell has clinched a spot in the Big South tournament, hosted next week at High Point University. The top eight teams will qualify for the double-elimination tournament with the exception of Presbyterian, who is not eligible for championship competition until next year.
The Fighting Camels have set school records this season for wins (38) and home wins (27) this season. CU ranks third in the country in hits (582), sixth in runs scored (382), sixth in stolen bases (106), eighth in batting average (.317) and second in hit by pitches (101).

Ebola death toll rises to 78
CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — Health authorities in the West African nation of Guinea say at least 78 people now have died after contracting the Ebola virus.
Victims develop internal and external bleeding from the virus, which has no cure.
Guinea's Health Ministry says the disease first emerged in the forests of southern Guinea and then spread to the capital of some 2 million people after an infected patient traveled there with his family.
Neighboring Senegal has closed its land border with Guinea to keep the virus from spreading further. Liberia has confirmed two cases, including one death.
Senegalese music superstar Youssou Ndour canceled a weekend concert in the Guinean capital because it would bring a large crowd together.

Bar open till late. Useful as we did not arrive till 11pm First time I have used an Express and didn't realise that there were no cooked meals available
Good hotel, with breakfast included with room. Friendly and helpful staff. Parking available. Can get a bus from the Kassam stadium to go to Oxford city, the hotel is adjacent to the stadium [make sure you get the right bus or expect 20 min walk back to the hotel on return journey]. Room's led lights not really strong enough to read by, though ok for relaxing. Wake-up service/clock, local radio/TV services available in tv unit, very clever. I found it a problem to operate [handheld controller difficulties] and no infomation card available to understand service. No evening meals facility only bar, though takeaway can be ordered [pizza, indian or chinese]. I query the honesty of the booking.com website as I noticed there was loads of rooms available, the hotel has 3 floors, and not many people about during my stay and wondered why I only got my room via a cancellation? I recommend customers to contact the hotel directly for prices and available dates; its a big modern hotel.
Excellant breakfast. Preferred the shower cubicle to the usual shower over bath. It would have been nice to have been able to have an evening meal at hotel.
Clean, functional. Proximity for business visit Lack of light in bedroom and poor quality breakfast. Not good value for money given quite high budget hotel cost.
Comfort,cleanliness, generous size of the room.It was a good choice this hotel,not only because of the prices.
Location Not much choice for breakfast,food not hot
Overall this is a good hotel for short stay. There is plenty car park, the shower was spacious enough and there was good water pressure. The room was spacious and clean. The mattress was not that great and the bed could have been a bit bigger. Breakfast isa bit messy and choice is limited.
ease of everything, uncomplicated. not the hotel, but the 4 question survey is actually, 11!
It was very comfortable and relaxing, and its easy access to entertainment.
Straight forward. Better than a Travelodge but not as 'posh' as a full blown hotel. Good breakfast and very pleasant staff.
Freindly and helpful staff, comfortable bed A couple of noisy rooms above our room
Easy check in; helpful staff;clean & comfotrtable reasonable access to eating places and leisure facilities I thoughtr it would be easy to find following the football signs, but they were not as clear as they could have been in busy night tme traffic

Post-Vote Survey Reveals Voters Want A Different Direction
NYC's 2013 primaries are over as polls closed at 9pm Tuesday. It's the end of a busy 24 hours that saw the candidates campaigning throughout the city asking for voters to cast their ballots for them. Although it will take a little while longer to figure out who won each race, post-vote surveys have revealed a little about where voters' minds were when they pulled the lever.
According to an Edison Research/Marist exit poll via NBC 4 New York, only 22 percent of voters wanted a mayoral candidate who would continue Mayor Bloomberg's policies, while 73 percent said they wanted the next mayor to move the city in a new direction. This could prove to be bad news for Christine Quinn, who was seen as the most closely aligned to Bloomberg of all the candidates throughout the campaign.
As for the issues voters cared about most, the exit poll showed that jobs and unemployment proved to be critical topics in the mayoral race with 30 percent voting this as the most important issue. 20 percent of voters said the most important issue was education, 16 percent crime, 12 percent said the city's finances, and 11 percent housing.

text: ATLANTA, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hospitals, clinics and office-based physicians are increasingly turning to electronic medical records as they prepare for the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care (PPAHC) act, says Albert Woodard, CEO of Atlanta-based Business Computer Applications, a company devoted to digitizing medical records. "Medical practitioners are bracing for a triple whammy as, in addition to the PPAHC, they are also facing a wave of retiring baby boomers coupled with a predicted shortage of qualified medical staff," says Woodard. Some 80 million aging baby boomers are landing on Medicare roles at a rate of 7,000 a day according to AARP; the PPAHC is expected to flood the system with another 32 million patients; and a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services forecast says health care staff shortages will worsen in 2014. "The strain all of this will put on our health care system is enormous," says Woodard, "thus forcing medical providers to search for more efficient and effective methods to operate their practices." Woodard singled out a December 2012 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicating that across the U.S. office-based physicians are increasingly turning to electronic medical records (EMRs). "EMRs can aid in improving quality of care, reduce errors and increase efficiency by making patients' medical history accessible to anybody who treats them," he says. Paper records, which most physicians have traditionally relied on, will no longer be practical or effective. A study published by the RAND Health Information Technology Project (HIT) says the U.S. healthcare system is the world's largest and most inefficient enterprise with most records still stored on paper, which means that they cannot be used to coordinate care, routinely measure quality, or reduce medical errors.

Runway alternation
Periods of relief from aircraft noise
We know that aircraft noise can be disruptive to some people around Heathrow. So we use a mechanism known as runway alternation to share the burden and to give everyone periods of relief from aircraft noise when we are on westerly operations.
At its heart, runway alternation is straightforward: for part of the day we use one runway for landings and the other for take-offs. Halfway through the day we switch over as shown in the graphic below . If you were living or working under the arrivals flight path during the morning, you're unlikely to be under it during the afternoon. And vice versa.
To help you plan ahead, we publish an annual schedule of runway use. It tells you which runway we're using any day or night of the year. The schedule covers landings only because that's where runway alternation makes the biggest difference.
Runway Alternation Programme 2017 (180KB PDF)
How does runway alternation work
In practice runway alternation is more complicated than the simple explanation above. At any given time, our choices of runway and flight direction also have to take account of the six factors listed below.
- Daytime patterns of runway alternation are different to night-time patterns: at night there are only a handful of landings and very few take-offs (see full explanation below)
- Aircraft land and take off into the wind, so the wind direction has a big effect on flight patterns
- Government policy currently favours aircraft taking off towards the west. Even when the wind blows from the east, aircraft could still fly in from east and take off towards the west. This is because we have a westerly preference
- A historical restriction means that aircraft cannot take off towards the east from the northern runway; this is because of the Cranford Agreement
- The hour between 06:00 and 07:00 is the busiest time of the day for arrivals so we are able to use both runways for landings
- Occasionally we have to suspend runway alternation for airfield maintenance, in response to bad weather or when air-traffic control want to avoid a build-up of arriving aircraft
Daytime runway alternation
Daytime runway alternation follows a daily cycle and a fortnightly cycle. Alternation starts at 06:00 and continues till the last aircraft departs at the end of the day.
- In the morning we use one runway for take-offs and the other for landings. At 15:00 – roughly halfway through Heathrow's working day – we swap over
- We continue this morning and evening pattern of runway use for the rest of the week
- The following week we switch completely. What we did in the evening during the previous week, we now do in the morning. And vice versa
Runway alternation gives everyone an equal share of respite from aircraft noise. The diagram above shows how it works when the wind blows from the west. Runway alternation during the day is not currently possible when the wind blows from the east.
Night-time runway alternation
Since there are very few aircraft take-off or landing at night there's more scope for runway alternation whether we are on easterly or westerly operations. We can switch landings between the northern and southern runways and, if the weather allows it, we can bring in aircraft from the east or the west.
Those four options allow us to operate night-time runway alternation on a four-weekly cycle.
- Week 1: Aircraft fly in from the west to land on the northern runway
- Week 2: Aircraft fly in from the east to land on the northern runway
- Week 3: Aircraft fly in from the west to land on the southern runway
- Week 4: Aircraft fly in from the east to land on the southern runway
Since the wind direction and strength can have an impact on this pattern, we always specify a primary and a secondary (alternative) runway in our schedule.
