My Kishinevsky family tree has been on myheritage.com for about a year. I recently decided to contact other Kishinevskys on myheritage to try and find long-lost cousins. Someone I contacted referred me to a cousin they knew who lived in Paris, but whose family came from Bendery, a hop, skip and a jump from Tiraspol, where my family came from. Last Monday at the IAJGS conference, Jacques Kishinevsky and I met to examine photos and documents and to tell family stories. We spent 2 hours talking, me with my rusty French and a lot of body English. We can't prove with a paper trail that we are related, but I will call him cousin anyway. Being able to make this connection means a lot to me -- thank you, myheritage!

Man arrested, accused of exposing self to kids at Wal-Mart
TITUSVILLE, Fla.,None - The convicted sex offender accused of exposing himself to children in a Brevard Co. Walmart made his first appearance before a judge Tuesday afternoon.
Orange County deputies arrested 28-year-old Robert Walyus at his home just after 1 a.m. on Tuesday.
Police said he's the man in surveillance pictures who flashed two children in the toy aisle of a Walmart on Saturday, and asked if he could touch one of them.
For fours years, Michelle Kinney has lived across the street from Walyus in a quiet east Orange County neighborhood.
She said families on the street feel like prisoners in their own homes because of him.
"We're very, very tight here with the kids. They don't come out on the street like they used to and ride their bikes like they used to. Its very monitored," Kinney said.
Neigbors said Walyus lives with his parents, but no one came to the door when WFTV stopped by.
Walyus's record dates back to 2001, and it shows several for exposing himself to children.
Surveillance video of Walyus at a Publix in Titusville in October shows him walking by a Cub Scout and other children as he went into the store, where detecives said he also exposed himself.
But it took the image from Walmart for someone to call in the tip that led to his arrest.
Neighbors said they hope this time he'll be gone for good.
"He's going to escalate, and at what point does it have to be somebody who is in power, who's child is affected so we can live in peace in this neighborhood?" Kinney said.
If anyone has additional information, they are urged to call the Titusville Police Department at 321-264-7801.

The late 1960s and early 1970s, in New York City and America at large, were years marked by political tumult, social unrest--and the best professional basketball ever played. Paradise, for better or worse, was a hardwood court in Midtown Manhattan.
When the Garden Was Eden is the definitive account of how the New York Knickerbockers won their first and only championships, and in the process provided the nation no small escape from the Vietnam War, the tragedy at Kent State, and the last vestiges of Jim Crow. The Knicks were more than a team; they were a symbol of harmony, the sublimation of individual personalities for the greater collective good.
No one is better suited to revive the old chants of "Dee-fense " that rocked Madison Square Garden or the joy that radiated courtside than Harvey Araton, who has followed the Knicks, old and new, for decades--first as a teenage fan, then as a young sports reporter with the New York Post, and now as a writer and columnist for the New York Times. Araton has traveled to the Louisiana home of the Captain, Willis Reed (after writing a column years earlier that led to his abrupt firing as the Knicks' short-lived coach); he has strolled the lush gardens of Walt "Clyde" Frazier's St. Croix oasis; discussed the politics of that turbulent era with Senator Bill Bradley; toured Baltimore's church basement basketball leagues with Black Jesus himself, Earl "the Pearl" Monroe; played memory games with Jerry "the Brain" Lucas; explored the Tao of basketball with Phil "Action" Jackson; and sat through eulogies for Dave DeBusschere, the lunch-bucket, 23-year-old player-coach lured from Detroit, and Red Holzman, the scrappy Jewish guard who became a coaching legend.
In When the Garden Was Eden, Araton not only traces the history of New York's beloved franchise--from Ned Irish to Spike Lee to Carmelo Anthony--but profiles the lives and careers of one of sports' all-time great teams, the Old Knicks. With measured prose and shoe-leather reporting, Araton relives their most glorious triumphs and bitter rivalries, and casts light on a time all but forgotten outside of pregame highlight reels and nostalgic reunions--a time when the Garden, Madison Square, was its own sort of Eden.

Citation: Leviar, P., Monte, E., Cohn, M.M., Quail, P.H. 2012. Phytochrome signaling in green Arabidopsis seedlings: impact assessment of a mutually-negative phyB-PIF feedback loop. Molecular Plant. 5:734-749. Interpretive Summary: This study shows that a previously identified negative feedback loop that reduces the sensitivity of young seedlings to light by reducing the levels of the phyB photoreceptor, does not play a major role in modulating light-sensitivity in established green seedlings exposed to vegetational shade from neighboring plants. This mechanism, thus, appears not to play a major role in controlling the vegetative architecture of the plant, an important determinant of crop yield.
Technical Abstract: The reversibly red (R)-far-red (FR)-light-responsive phytochrome (phy) photosensory system initiates both the deetiolation process in dark-germinated seedlings upon first exposure to light, and the shade-avoidance process in fully-deetiolated seedlings upon exposure to vegetational shade. The intracellular signaling pathway from the light-activated photoreceptor conformer (Pfr) to the transcriptional network that drives these responses involves direct, physical interaction of Pfr with a small subfamily of bHLH transcription factors, termed Phy-Interacting Factors (PIFs), which induces rapid PIF proteolytic degradation. In addition, there is evidence of further complexity in light-grown seedlings, whereby phyB-PIF interaction reciprocally induces phyB degradation, in a mutually-negative feedback-loop configuration. Here, to assess the relative contributions of these antagonistic activities to the net phenotypic readout in light-grown seedlings, we have examined the magnitude of the light- and simulated-shade-induced responses of a pentuple phyBpif1pif3pif4pif5 (phyBpifq) mutant and various multiple pif-mutant combinations. The data (a) reaffirm that phyB is the predominant, if not exclusive, photoreceptor imposing inhibition of hypocotyl elongation in deetiolating seedlings in response to prolonged continuous R irradiation, and (b) show that the PIF quartet (PIF1, PIF3, PIF4 and PIF5) retain and exert a dual capacity to modulate hypocotyl elongation under these conditions, by concomitantly promoting cell elongation through intrinsic transcriptional-regulatory activity, and reducing phyB-inhibitory capacity through feedback-loop-induced phyB degradation. In shade-exposed seedlings, immunoblot analysis shows that the shade-imposed reduction in Pfr levels induces increases in the abundance of PIF3, and mutant analysis indicates that PIF3 acts, in conjunction with PIF4 and PIF5, to promote the known shade-induced acceleration of hypocotyl elongation. Conversely, although the quadruple pifq mutant displays clearly reduced hypocotyl elongation compared to wild-type in response to prolonged shade, immunoblot analysis detects no elevation in phyB levels in the mutant seedlings compared to the wild-type during the majority of the shade-induced growth period, and phyB levels are not robustly correlated with the growth phenotype across the pif-mutant combinations compared. These results suggest that PIF-feedback modulation of phyB abundance does not play a dominant role in modulating the magnitude of the PIF-promoted, shade-responsive phenotype under these conditions. In seedlings grown under diurnal light-dark cycles, the data show that FR-pulse-induced removal of Pfr at the beginning of the dark period (End-of-Day-FR (EOD-FR) treatment) results in longer hypocotyls relative to no EOD-FR treatment, and that this effect is attenuated in the pif-mutant combinations tested. This result similarly indicates that the PIF quartet members are capable of intrinsically promoting hypocotyl-cell elongation in light grown-plants, independently of the effects of PIF-feedback modulation of photoactivated-phyB abundance.

CINCINNATI -- With two key parts of the offense gone, the San Diego Padres are looking for Will Venable and others to carry them through a tough time and win some games.
It really helps when the opponent makes four errors.
Venable homered for the second game in a row, and San Diego's depleted offense took advantage of Cincinnati's season-high four errors for a 3-1 victory over the Reds on Saturday night.
"Especially being down a couple of guys, everybody needs to do a better job," Venable said.
Third baseman Jack Hannahan had three of Cincinnati's errors -- two on off-target throws to first base, another on a grounder that got through him. All San Diego managed off the errors was two unearned runs.
Venable hit his team-high 15th homer off reliever Manny Parra a few hours after the Padres put outfielder Carlos Quentin on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right knee. It was their second significant setback of the week.
Earlier in the week, All-Star shortstop Everth Cabrera was suspended for 50 games for taking a banned substance. Quentin had missed the last seven games with the injury. He was batting .275 with a team-leading 45 RBI and 13 homers, second to Venable for the team lead.
Now, the others have to carry on.
"You can't do more than you're able to do," said Venable, who is batting .385 since July 14 and has a seven-game hitting streak. "You know what kind of player you are. Whether it's making a play on defense or getting a bunt down, you've got to do all those little things."
The Reds couldn't do much of anything right, finishing with as many errors as hits.
"Jack just had a bad day," manager Dusty Baker said. "He's known for his defense. We also had a couple of baserunning mistakes. I have no explanation."
Tyson Ross (3-5) gave up Brandon Phillips' RBI single in the first, one of only four hits he allowed over seven innings. Huston Street pitched the ninth for his 22nd save in 23 chances.
Three of Cincinnati's errors came behind Tony Cingrani (5-2), who had to throw a lot of pitches to make up for the extra outs. The left-hander needed 92 to get through five innings while allowing only two hits and two unearned runs.
The Padres have won their last six games against left-handed starters since July 11.
The Reds had a tough time holding onto the ball all around. Catcher Devin Mesoraco threw over Hannahan's head while trying to toss the ball around the infield after a strikeout.
The Padres got sloppy and let in a couple of runs in Cincinnati's 7-2 win on Friday night. This time, the Reds had trouble getting a grip.
"We've been talking about our defense being pretty consistent all year," manager Bud Black said. "Last night was something we haven't seen much this year."
Chris Denorfia singled and scored when Venable singled and left fielder Xavier Paul bobbled the ball. Hannahan then threw wildly to first on Chase Headley's grounder, allowing Venable to score on the second error of the inning. Cingrani threw 32 pitches in the extended inning.
Shin-Soo Choo drew a leadoff walk in the bottom of the first, stole his 13th base of the season and came around on Phillips' two-out single.
The Reds didn't get much more off Ross, who had several nice plays made behind him.
"I know these guys will make the plays behind me," said Ross, who has four straight quality starts. "The key is to throw strikes."
Paul ran the Reds out of a rally in the seventh. Jay Bruce walked and went to third on Paul's single with no outs. Mesoraco flied to Denorfia in right, not deep enough to get Bruce in from third. Paul tagged on the play and was thrown out at second.
Tennis player Mardy Fish threw a ceremonial pitch to one of the Reds' mascots. The Western & Southern Open starts Sunday in nearby Mason. ... The Padres called up OF Jaff Decker to take Quentin's spot. ... LF Ryan Ludwick rejoined the Reds on Saturday from his minor league rehab stint. The Reds plan to activate him before the start of a series on Monday in Chicago. Ludwick has been sidelined since he tore cartilage in his right shoulder while sliding into base on opening day. ... Hannahan's three errors were a career high. ... On Sunday, Mike Leake (10-5) makes his first start since he got roughed up in a 15-2 loss to St. Louis a week earlier. Ian Kennedy (4-8) makes his second start with the Padres, who got him from Arizona on July 31.

Why Are Social Behaviors Plateauing?
Posted by Augie Ray on September 28, 2010
- 872 Recommendations
- 12 comments
Since 2007, Forrester has tracked the growth of social behaviors. For years we've seen increases in more complex social behaviors such as Creators—those who generate social content including YouTube videos and blog posts. But for the first time, we're seeing a change in the growth trend. Our latest 2010 Global Social Technographics report demonstrates that many social behaviors have reached a plateau. Why, and what does this mean to marketers?
There is not a single answer to those questions. The reasons span things as complex as human nature and as simple as Web site usability. For example, is it sensible to believe that Creator behavior will ever be universal? Not every person has a burning need to be a reporter, an industry expert, a videographer, a musician, a thought leader, an editor or a broadcaster. The fact that more than 1 in 5 online adults in the US are exhibiting Creator behavior is a testament to how social technologies have lowered the bar, since these tools have allowed more people to create and distribute their ideas, opinions and creations than was ever possible in the past.
Human nature changes gradually, so further growth in Creator behavior will come much more slowly than in the past. This will cause marketers and those who produce social tools to focus more on how social content is consumed rather than how it is produced. In fact, there is already evidence of this trend—look at Twitter's new Web interface, which doesn't change how people tweet but instead makes it significantly easier to consume others' tweets. Look for other social tools to follow suit, offering new ways to make tweets, blog posts, product ratings and other social content easier to find, read, use, save and share.
There is one behavior that is not plateauing, nor is it likely to stop growing for some time: Joiners. These are people who maintain a social networking profile. While growth in other behaviors have stagnated, Joiners grew again from 2009 to 2010. As social media has become a major communication channel for many people, it becomes hard to avoid for others. Even those with no intent to share continue to join so they can keep in touch with friends, children and grandchildren. Today, avoiding social networks is about as easy to do as avoiding email—it's possible, but it comes at a substantial cost in terms of relationships and knowledge.
The fact that Joiners continue to grow means marketers must continue to focus their attention and budgets on social networks in 2011. More people will spend more time and get more information through social networks, and where consumer time and attention goes, so will marketer investment.
Forrester will continue to track changes in Social Technographic behavior. Perhaps in 2011 we'll see Creators again increase, but this will depend less on how humans change and more on how companies, brands and social technologies do.
If you are a Forrester subscriber, you can get more information from the new report, Global Social Technographics. Others can get additional information about the US Social Technographics ladder by reading Jackie Rousseau-Anderson's blog post, "The Latest Global Social Media Trends May Surprise You."

"Is it sensible to believe
Comment from Three Ships Media (not verified) on Tue, 09/28/2010 - 18:36
"Is it sensible to believe that Creator behavior will ever be universal?"
Interesting question - not everyone desires to be a reporter/writer/etc. but when the basic "how to succeed in a digital world" guidelines are shouting quantity and timeliness, it seems that they feel forced to. My guess would be that creating content poorly and not seeing a return on the time (and money) invested is what is leading to the plateau.
And I agree with you - enhancing the ease with which content is discovered and digested is becoming the differentiation... Which is probably why the joiners are increasing steadily. Great article and thanks for the quality data!
The plateauing growth of garage bands
Comment from Jeff Larche (not verified) on Wed, 09/29/2010 - 07:05
"Creating" on social networks may be relatively new as a digital phenomenon, but it has many real-world analogs. Forming high school garage bands (especially those that do their own material) is just one I can think of off the top of my head.
It's only because online Creating is such a visible and measurable phenomenon that there should be surprise when it plateaues.
Most people in high school did not form a garage band, nor perform publicly in any way. There was even a subset of non-artist peers who looked at these creative souls as odd and embarrassing exhibitionists -- more to be shunned than envied. I'm guessing the percentages of each group hasn't changed much over the decades.
Numbers of Joiners, on the other hand, haven't plateaued yet because the cost of entry is so low and the value of joining is growing with the network effect; Just about everyone wants to go to a weekend party if they know most of their friends will be there. Joiners don't have to attempt to be "original" -- just be willing to join the conversation, or at least listen in and look interested.
Although this number will stabilize as well, it appears it will continue to grow for quite a while.
Augie, I agree with you that this means brand marketers should continue to focus attention and dollars on observing behavior at the digital "parties" their customers routinely attend, as well as (possibly) enhancing what goes on at the parties or even finding non-weird ways to contribute to them -- ever aware that our brands could be perceived by the most skeptical of Joiners as something akin to party-crashers.
Odd and embarrassing exhibitionists

I long ago got used to being thought of as an "odd and embarrassing exhibitionist." :)
Thanks for the dialog!
Cutting through the noise
Comment from Ted Sapountzis on Wed, 09/29/2010 - 13:37
Nice post, in my mind this is THE challenge that marketers will be facing more and more and social media starts to mature: How to help the audience cut through the clutter.
While I agree that the evolution of consumption tools can alleviate some of that pain, we need to watch out so that social media does not become email marketing
Social Media Clutter
Comment from Augie Ray on Wed, 09/29/2010 - 15:43
You are absolutely right--cutting through the clutter is going to be vital. One my peers, Nate Elliott, is researching a report on this very topic. Watch for it to by published in the next month or two.
Thanks for sharing!
Comment from Matt Batt (not verified) on Wed, 09/29/2010 - 14:36
Augie, thanks so much for sharing these valuable insights from your latest report! I agree with both you and Jackie that businesses must now focus on taking a more strategic approach moving forward...I guess we'll have to wait & see:)
Good article... what you are
Comment from Andrew McFarland (not verified) on Wed, 09/29/2010 - 18:13
Good article... what you are suggesting is that social media is moving more towards an approach that values how information is consumed vs. how it is produced. Fundamentally this is a positive change. Now customers will begin to get what matters to them... vs. the current Henry Ford model of you get a black car or no car. Anything that helps companies to focus on what customers need or are trying to achieve is a positive change!
the creative plateau and content curation
Comment from James Moffat (not verified) on Thu, 09/30/2010 - 11:04
Recently did a post on the relationship between the creative plateau and content curation - the trend that is emerging as content creation plateaus. http://ow.ly/2M9Qe
Content Curation

Your blog post makes excellent points, but I'll bet your mum knows what a blog is!
An innovative approach for content creation
Comment from Tena Hartwig (not verified) on Thu, 09/30/2010 - 11:22
Very interesting data. My company, Bulbstorm, is working to keep content development on the rise with our Idea Challenges application for Facebook. We see amazing engagement by "creators," but the key is having an innovative approach (which, in our case is asking for their ideas). The app encourages user-generated content creation by rewarding fans with prizes for sharing ideas and voting and commenting on others' ideas. Even the "joiners" are rewarded for participating, when they vote and comment on ideas. Check out a demo of our app here: http://www.bulbstorm.com/blog/2010/promote-your-brand-on-facebook-take-a...
the creation tools have not
Comment from Ener Hax (not verified) on Thu, 09/30/2010 - 13:18
the creation tools have not changed much and the blog remains the ideal tool. so those that wanted to create have already jumped in!
i hardly think of facebook or linked in as creator tools, supplementary yes, but not as "the" tool
great post! thanks =)
New Social Media
Comment from Joshua Persky (not verified) on Sat, 10/02/2010 - 20:36
Social media is in its infancy, and as with gravity, everyone will soon be communicating with everyone. Followers. Creators. Joiners.
Social media signage will make people more and more aware of what is going on around them - and on the other side of the world.

So who can I expect to see at DragonCon?
uh.....I think just about everyone.
I hope I can be there. I have enough money for the memberships, it's just a matter of paying for the hotel and food costs.
I'm going to try my hardest to make it! Hopefully with the 7+ costumes I plan to have by then! And my girlfriend is trying to go too!

Its going to be a good year this year Craig, I guarantee it !!
I'll be there with my Starship Trooper gear, Sandy Femtrooper, and Jango (God willing). And this will be the best year ever!!! Death from above baby, death from above
Ill be there. Im staying in the Mariott. Which hotel will most people be in?
If you love waiting forever to catch an elevator to your room, stay at the Hyatt. Me? I'll be back at the Marriott for the fourth consecutive year.
I'll be there as well. Most likely in the Marriot. So far I've got a custom Mandalorian on the way, my pirate from halloween, and norse god loki (friends are doing a group theme on the norse gods)... Can't wait to see you all there. I missed out on meeting most of you the last time around. Hung out with Toby a good bit tho.

Well, not this time for me, and not even C3....I'm deployed at this time in Afghanistan ....so Michael Jackson can't make it either to D*C.
For some bizarre reason in the mail today I got one of those postcards that has your name and badge number on it that you turn in when you get there to receive your badge. I never ordered a ticket and there's no transaction for it on my credit card bill. So I really have no idea why I now have a free pass for Dragon Con. I'm really not going to question it that much though. Free is free.
OK I know im going to get chased out of here for this, but where is the con at?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! lol its in atlanta Gorgia
Atlanta Gorgia see I knew that I just wanted to see if yall knew! True story

Pretty cool. I know a lot of people might not be fans of Top Shot, but aside from the entire show, they set up some pretty sweet high-speed camera shots of weapons firing, bullet travel, and bullet impacts. It's worth watching sometimes. I don't know what their camera FPS are, but they are ridiculously high. They seem higher than on these vids. 10K maybe? Edit: 20k, I meant.

The Alchemist
Leading hip-hop producer sits down with Akai Pro to talk business, technology, and the industry.
The Alchemist is a hip-hop producer who has produced for many of hip-hop's leading artists in the 2000s, and has been hailed as "one of the top producers in the game." Whether or not you know his name, chances are, you know his work on some of the biggest projects by name-brand artists. He produces with an MPC2500 and an MPC5000.
As a teenager, the Alchemist was half of the duo The Whooliganz and a member of rap collective The Soul Assassins, which included Cypress Hill and House of Pain. The Alchemist studied beat making with DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill and Evidence of Dilated Peoples.
After moving to New York, the Alchemist produced Mobb Deep, Pharoahe Monch, Royce da 5'9, Fat Joe, Defari, Freddy Foxxx, Ludacris, Big Daddy Kane, and Ghostface Killah, and even rock acts Linkin Park and Morcheeba. In 2004 the Alchemist released his first solo full-length, 1st Infantry, which, besides featuring his own beats, also had him rapping alongside Nas, Stat Quo, the Game, Lloyd Banks, Mobb Deep, and Dilated Peoples. In 2005, the Alchemist toured with Eminem as his DJ on the Anger Management 3 tour.
The Alchemist plans to release an ambitious three new albums in 2009. He is also currently serving as the music producer of the tenth installment of the Grand Theft Auto video game. He shared his background and his views on the current state production with us.
Akai: Where did you get your name?
The Alchemist: From a friend of mine who is into music; he was a rapper. He put a twist on my name, Al, because I had an interest in the scientific side of music and how it is put together. I discovered the meaning in the book "The Alchemist." The metaphor made a lot of sense. I read the book after I got my name. Anyone who reads that book will find it inspiring.
Akai: When did you first get into music?
TA: I was into it from my induction into earth but I really started around 13 when I started messing around. I was writing raps, using turntables trying to scratch. I remember my first beats were like pause tapes. I'd record like one bar off a record and dub it and make a loop with it. Just messing around. I had an ear for music and just took it far.
Akai: What was your first MPC?
TA: The MPC3000, which was loaned to me by a friend. I guess I wasn't ready yet but I loved the sound coming out of it. All my favorite producers used it. My first beats were on the [Ensoniq] ASR10 keyboard. I discovered you can get more busy to make rhythms with the [MPC] pads than with the keys because its feel is more like a drum.
Akai: What has the MPC5000 brought to the scene that made producing better for you? Were you able to use it on your upcoming release, Chemical Warfare?
TA: Yes. The thing about it is so crazy to me is the sound inside. I guess for the first time ever, the synth sounds really got me. The warmth and the quality and the way you can adjust sounds similar to a Moog or other analog instrument. You know when I'd start twisting knobs I started making sounds that are really unique.
I feel like my creativity is way iller with the 5000. Prior to this I'd sample [to create] all my beats but this machine encourages me to make stuff, not with just samples. I mean, if you know what you're doing to can make stuff that sounds just like samples. Some of my favorite ones [were made with the MPC5000's virtual analog synthesizer] too because the sonicness of it, it's like it almost sounds like it uses more of the speaker, you now what I mean?
With the beats that I play off of the 5000, it's like the whole speaker is being utilized versus more of a mono-sounding beat that I would hear with the ASR. There's something about that machine, man. That's what I like most about it is the fact that you can collaborate samples so you don't have to stray from your sampling style of beats. You can still chop beats and then you can layer them with the sounds that come with it or that you can load into it. You know, sometimes I ended up dropping out the loop entirely. Once I got it layered up I have a whole new product, so that's what's dopest to me about the MPC5000.
Akai: What other artists have you worked with and how did they influence your music?
TA: I've been blessed to work with so many great artists from all different sides of the spectrum from Tone Loc to Cypress Hill, Mobb Deep, I mean there's so many different artists I mean lately I've been working with Three 6 Mafia, Maxwell… I did records for Linkin Park for a remix album so I think being able to have a wide variety of sound and not stuck to a genre is the cool thing about being a producer. I feel like as a producer, it shows more versatility to be able to produce a rock or R&B record while at the same time you could be making a hip-hop record. It's the whole spectrum of music. Also, I DJ a lot. When Eminem tours, I DJ for him, so lately I've been DJing more parties and adding that element into my production. When you DJ, you get to see the records that drive the crowds crazy and adding that element into the production is great for staying current.
Akai: What do you think it is that has made the MPC so widely used by producers?
TA: I think it's probably hands down the most handy machines when it comes to production. It has just what you need. It pretty much defined the standard of production for beats in the same way that when you go to record vocals these days, they use Avalon [microphone preamplifiers] and they have the Neumann U 87 [microphones]. It's like the combination of these two as microphone and preamp are the standard for 85-90% of records as far as rap vocals.
I feel like with the MPC it's the standard. Partly because of the swing capabilities [MPC Swing] in it, which made the drums for a lot of producers over the years. You knew automatically because of their drum swing that it was something the MPC did. Even when I used the ASR10, I was always trying to simulate the style of production that was made on the MPC. Once I got to the MPC, I was like, 'YES, this is what I was trying to do the whole time!
From the way that the pads are set, you can set them to chop each other off or each sample cuts each other off. The timing from the timing-correct button to the velocity on the pads, which enables you to give it more of a live feel.
Also, it's like an instrument. I know some people who work the machine in a way where on stage with no sequencer, it's incredible. I can't think of any machine that's similar. It seems like they're just imitating it, even as they sound, it's a similar machine with a virtual something. They always seem like they have to have the 16 pads and basically simulate the style of the MPC. I was watching a demo of one and thought, 'this is very MPC-esque.'
In general, MPC always has and always will be the standard as far as when you're talking about rap, beats and production. You know, my favorite producers from day one were Premier – MPC. Pete Rock? MPC. Diamond D? MPC. I mean I could go down the list forever. It's pretty much the standard. It's good to be able to even follow in those footsteps and keep that tradition going forward. You know, making music that comes out of that machine it sounds crazy.
Impersonation has gotten to extreme levels with regards to MPC with people trying to copy it but I think at the end of the day with the sound that comes out of it, I can usually call it. I can say, 'that's MPC, yo.' There's a lot of other technology that can let you make beats with a computer and stuff but I think it takes away from the live ability. In general the MPC is an instrument because of what you can do with it. I've seen guys treating it like a turntable. The turntable was made for one thing and you can make creative turntablism out of it. With the MPC there's like a whole style of live entertainment that actually hasn't been fully explored. It's crazy. That's what separates it from a lot of these new things. You can't use your little computer out live and then treat it like an instrument – it's a computer!
Akai: Have you used any other Akai Pro equipment than the MPC?
TA: I go from the MPC right into ProTools. I don't run it through too much. To me, because of the built-in compressor that it has and the effects, the EQ and master, I try to make my beats coming out of the machine sounding like the way I want them to be when I mix them. So when it comes time to mix, I don't have to have the engineer do magic tricks for my beat. What I'm delivering him right out of the machine is pretty much what it's going to sound like. So that way when I'm playing beats live, or when I'm playing beats for someone I want it to sound… you know, I spend time with the EQ, I spend time with the edit steps, I'll move a kick one to the right if it's too much, one to the left it's too little, so it's like I get it exactly where I want it to be. Especially with the new 5000 and the 960ppq [sequencer] resolution, I mean it's crazy. It's as close as you can come to a live drummer as far as the swinging. The closest thing to that is taking the timing [quantization] off entirely and just being Clyde Stubblefield on the MPC. You know what I mean? They got it down to a science now with the swing.
Akai: We noticed you have some turntables here too. Tell us about those.
TA: I use the Numark TT500. I love that turntable because the reverse on one button, that's like my favorite feature. I don't even take the needle off when I'm going through records. I'll just reverse that back. If I hear that sample, I'll hit reverse instead of picking the needle up because sometimes I hear something when it's playing backwards, and it's like, 'woah!' that little sound is good for something. Making beats for hip-hop, anything goes, so I might take a snare backwards and load it back into the MPC. The backward button is crazy. You know, just on command, go reverse. Oh yeah, plus the pitch range on that is killing all the other turntables. Sometimes I wanted to hear a record extremely slow, but it wouldn't go that way. I used to have to put my finger on the side of the Technics to try to make it sound slow and it would just be wobbling it just wasn't it. With the TT500 you can speed it up and slow it down so much you're almost unlimited when you want to hear something in a different tone or pitch, or whatever it will work.
Akai: What is your current project and what Akai Pro products are you using on it?
TA: My current album called Chemical Warfare and is a follow-up to my first album, which was called 1st Infantry. It's basically a collaboration album with a lot of artists I've worked with in the past. I have a new single trying to get out and I'm basically in the studio just finishing up the final mixes on the album and get it out by the middle of the year. That's going to take me out of the studio a little bit so I'm happy just to take the MPC, pack it up and take it on the bus.
When you go into album mode you also have to go into promote mode, which isn't always my favorite. If it was up to me, I'd be in studio all day. But I'll probably be out on the road doing a lot of promotion with a couple of tours to promote this album.
I'm also just getting ready to shoot a video to gear up for the album. Hopefully Eminem is going to come out with his album. I'm pretty sure he's going to come out with his album this year, and I'll probably hit the road with him. That's always quite an experience going on the road with him.
Akai: Is your latest work a departure from anything you've done in the past or are you sticking to a formula that works well for you?
TA: It's a little bit new and I think the last album I hadn't started working on the MPC yet. This is the first one where I've been able to work on the MPC and showcase the beats. Also I was able to develop what I consider somewhat of a new style for the album where I was chopping up samples and trying to move them like hi-hats instead of using hi-hats and keeping the production real sparse with just kick and snare and making the music move around. It's an intense album as far as the sound. I love the way the beats came out. I was able to really showcase the new sound as far as the MPC on this album. It's exciting to me. I think as I put the album together it has a vibe that I was able to make with a lot of different artists. It's hard you know sometimes you're working with 15 different rappers that have nothing to do with each other. You wonder, what's going to be the current sound [when the album is released]? What's going to keep this album together? That was my challenge, but I think I did it well and it all fits in a strange way. It's an experience.
On the new album I started with the MPC2500 and once I got my hands on the 5000 I was able to start experimenting. One record I put out was a CNN record, Capone-N-Noreaga, called Follow The Dollar. They just shot a video that should be out in early 2009. We're using the MPC5000 for both albums. Everybody really loved the sound. They thought the synth stuff I did was a sample but it wasn't. Also I'm able to I go back to songs I started on it. I fooled a lot of people. They thought it was a sample. It wasn't. The cat's out the bag or whatever. I was playing around with some people and they said, "yeah was that a sample or not?" What I'll do is I go back to songs that I started with the 2500 and I'll sprinkle that with sounds I got from the 5000. So as I'm finishing the album, I like to have the 5000 there just 'cuz it's like, it's foreign. The sounds that are in it if I need something real quick like to lay on top of a sound, or I need a pad to lay underneath the hook, or I might need a hi-hat or something, that to me is what I need at the end of the album for some spice.
Akai: When is your current project due out?
TA: May 2009. We just released the first single called Smile featuring Maxwell, Twista and myself. I'm rapping more on this one than the last one, like maybe about 30% of the album. I just try to follow in Dre's footsteps. Not soundwise I mean, because nobody can compare, obviously to Dr. Dre, but the way that he put out albums that were technically compilation albums, and he's still able to rap on a song here and there, throughout the album and it still felt like his album. Even if he wasn't on the song it's still his album and he played a part on a product that was his. I'm trying to follow in those footsteps and that model and get people into me without changing totally who I am.
Akai: Do you have any tips or tricks you'd like to share with up and coming producers who may be reading this interview?
TA: Persistence overcomes resistance and that goes across the board. That might mean go back to that sample that you got defeated by, or couldn't hook up the right way, try that loop again or write that song again. The bottom line is that I don't think it's a battle of talents it's a battle of spirits and who goes hardest. Keep your spirit up and enjoy it. If you can find a way to get paid making music you know there's nothing better but the money thing shouldn't motivate you, in the end it should be the icing on the cake, So just keep on.

Looking to buy a E46 Convertible
I'm in the market for an E46 conv and am leaning towards a 330 w/a 6 sp manual. Any thoughts on good or bad years, things to watch out for, and manual vs. automatic? I prefer manuals, but they are hard to find. I have also heard that the performance of the 330 is significantly better than the 325. Any thoughts or leads on a good car would be appreciated. Thx.
This should get you started.
By the way, my personal preference would be a manual 325 over an automatic 330, and a manual 330 over either of them.
I don't know about convertibles, but a manual 330 sedan (5 speed) hit 0-60 in about 6 seconds as tested by Car & Driver when new, and a manual 325 hit 0-60 in 7 flat (also from Car & Driver).
Good years for E46 are 2003-05. 2006 is the new model year and early 2000's have significant issues with cooling system, electrical system, etc.
Make sure the top works fine, but you never know. My power top hydraulic system failed 10 months after I bought mine. It is a complicated system and costs $$$ to fix. If possible, get an extended warranty by BMW only.
Manual 325 or 330 is fine. Auto 330 at least.
I'm with LHB.... Love mine!
I have an '02 325cic with auto, and while nothing like my '03 330i ZHP, it is reasonably responsive and fun in the twisties. With a heavy foot, it has excellent passing acceleration, but it is no drag racer. My wife had it the local BMW club's car control clinic last weekend and had a blast. I wouldn't be afraid of a 325, especially with a manual, but the autos are fun too.
The regular 330ci vert 2004-05 only costs $20k.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on Sunday accused Senate Democrats of illegally buying a vote to get healthcare reform passed.
Talking with NBC's David Gregory on "Meet the Press," Schwarzenegger blasted the California Congressional delegation for "representing Nebraska and not us" during December's healthcare deliberations.
Taking the matter further, the Governor said, "[T]he Senate just voted for a healthcare bill that is saying basically that California should pay for Nebraska so that Nebraska never has to pay any extra money."
He added, "[T]hat's the biggest rip-off. I mean, that is against the law to buy a vote...if you do that in Sacramento, you know, you will be sued" (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript):
GOVERNOR ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: This time we're going to go back with the four legislative leaders of California, Democrats and Republicans alike, and keep pushing and talking to the federal government and letting them know that it is unfair the way the money's being distributed right now. And so we also will inspire and push extra hard the California congressional delegation, the bipartisan delegation, because they're not being--representing us really well in this case. I mean, you know, if you think about that the Senate just voted for a healthcare bill that is saying basically that California should pay for Nebraska so that Nebraska never has to pay any extra money, and we have to...
DAVID GREGORY, HOST: To expand the Medicaid rolls?
GOV. SCHWARZENEGGER: To expand the Medicaid. And so if--we have to pay 3, $4 billion extra for those states?
MR. GREGORY: You said the president should rethink healthcare reform.
GOV. SCHWARZENEGGER: Absolutely, because that's not healthcare reform, to go and to put that extra burden, billions of dollars, on other states, especially on California. Just because we're the best state in the world and the best place in the world and we are the most diversified economy and everyone wants to come to California is no reason to beat up on California and to always ask for more money from California.
MR. GREGORY: Do--is that how you...
GOV. SCHWARZENEGGER: I think it's time for the federal government to go and do--take care of us.
MR. GREGORY: Is that how you think about healthcare reform as something that ultimately would beat up on California?
GOV. SCHWARZENEGGER: Yes, it is. Right now it is. And I just cannot imagine why we would have, like I said, you know, for instance, you know, our senators and congressional people, how they would vote for something like that where they're representing Nebraska and not us. And by the way, as I said in my State of the State, that's the biggest rip-off. I mean, that is against the law to buy a vote. I mean...
MR. GREGORY: You're talking about Senator Nelson, who got...
GOV. SCHWARZENEGGER: As Senator Nelson. That's like buying a vote to say, "Hey, it's--I'm going"...
MR. GREGORY: The federal government will pay for their Medicaid expansion.
GOV. SCHWARZENEGGER: "I'm holding out my vote unless I get some extra kind of benefits here." I mean, if you do that in Sacramento, you know, you will be sued. It is illegal to do that, to buy votes.
Nicely said, Governor. Bravo!

Jonathan Bullard will be announcing his decision next Wednesday and he will now be doing so as a five-star.
Bullard is a 6-foot-4, 265 pound defensive lineman out of Shelby (NC) Crest and he impressive in the trenches. He is very strong at the point of attack and he could play strongside end or some three technique inside on the next level.
Clemson, Florida, and South Carolina are the finalists for the no. 31 ranked prospect in the country.
The quartet that added a fourth star to their profiles are Ryan Anderson (no. 164), Derek Edinburgh (no. 237), Will Redmond (no. 240), and Graham Shuler (no. 300).
Anderson has taken off this season. The 6-foot-3, 250 pound defensive end out of Daphne, Ala. is very physical and he attacks on the football field. He is getting ready to enroll at the University of Alabama.
Ediburgh is a monster offensive tackle at 6-foot-7, 320 pounds and he is committed to LSU. He has dropped a little weight this year, he has improved his footwork, and he has a lot of upside at LSU.
Brian Kimbrow received all the press early, but his teammate Will Redmond has really come into his own. Redmond is an athlete with the most potential at cornerback due to his size, length, and ball skills. He is currently committed to Mississippi State.
Stanford is getting a very versatile offensive lineman in Graham Shuler. The 6-foot-5, 280 pound OL can play any of the five positions on the offensive line, but he will likely be a center in college. He is very smart, he is continuing to add good weight, and he is a very intense competitor.

3.15pm So You Think beats Workforce in thrilling Eclipse
Chris Cook: Ryan Moore and Sir Michael Stoute did the best they could to ensure the Eclipse was run to suit Workforce but it wasn't quite enough as he was ground down by So You Think in the closing stages. There had been considerable betting confidence behind the ex-Australian all week, despite his defeat at Royal Ascot last time, and it has proved entirely justified. He looks a serious talent and his next race cannot come soon enough.
Confront set a strong pace and then rolled off the rail before the home turn to allow a clear run for Workforce, his stablemate. But So You Think tracked that one throughout and was delivered in the final furlong by Seamie Heffernan, who kept a very cool head, despite a degree of pressure that he can rarely have experienced.
It should be remembered that Workforce is probably more of a 12-furlong horse who was always going to be vulnerable over this shorter trip on a sound surface. A rematch in the King George at Ascot later this month would be fascinating, though Aidan O'Brien also has St Nicholas Abbey for that.
Snow Fairy never got into it on her first run for seven months.
Workforce traded at a low of 1-3 on Betfair in running but So You Think never got higher than 5-4.
Today's TV races
So You Think (3.10) can restore his dented reputation with victory over Workforce and Snow Fairy in the Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown.
As far as racing fans are concerned, there is only one clash of the heavyweights worth worrying about this weekend and that is the battle between these three multiple Group One winners.
Some could not wait to put the boot in after So You Think's defeat in the Prince of Wales's Stakes, giving little weight to excuses over tactics and fitness put forwards after the race.
But even those who now insist that the high-class form the four-year-old showed in Australia last season lacks the same value as European competition surely cannot deny that Workforce, the Derby and Arc winner and today's main rival, still has something to prove over a mile and a quarter. So You Think, however, beat the likes of Planteur and Twice Over out of sight over that trip at Ascot, even if Rewilding did deny him victory in the final stride.
Snow Fairy will surely need the outing on her first start for more than six months there can be no more excuses for So You Think. He must win this to restore his credentials and potential value as a megabucks Coolmore stallion, and Coral's stand-out offer this morning of 11-10 is worth taking.
Sandown 2.00 A good third in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot, Pastoral Player is seen as a possible Nunthorpe contender.
Haydock 2.15 Asked a stiffer question tackling colts for the first time, Gosbeck can rise to the challenge. The step up in trip on handicap debut seems sure to unlock further improvement.
Sandown 2.35 There is no denying that the frustrating Highland Knight is on an attractive handicap mark and only a particularly well-treated rival stopped him from capitalising last time. He is worth sticking with here.
Haydock 2.50 Vita Nova can take another step forward here. She was edged out in a similar race over course and distance last time, but that effort nevertheless represented another important step forward on just the fourth start of her career.
Haydock 3.25 A leap in faith is required after his dismal effort when well-fancied at Epsom last time, but any horse can be forgiven one shoddy performance at that track and Bourne can make amends.
Sandown 3.40 Far from the strongest event of its type and if Flying Cross is ready for his belated reappearance, he will take some beating.
Horse sense
A rumoured outbreak of ringworm in a couple of big Newmarket stables doesn't seem to have stopped the fine form of most of the town's trainers.
Disappointment over the defeat of Midday in Ireland last Saturday was tempered by a win and second place from Sir Henry Cecil's only two other runners that day and his team remain in good form. Hopes are high for Vita Nova (2.50) in today's Lancashire Oaks after she worked impressively under Tom Queally on the Al Bahathri all-weather gallop on Tuesday.
Also still very much among the winners is John Gosden, whose Seelo is fancied for the opener at Haydock. However there is also a very strong word for Henry Candy's Gosbeck (2.15) in the same contest. She was a popular winner at the stables when overturning an odds-on favourite of Sir Michael Stoute's at Newbury on her last start, most of the yard having seemingly had a few quid on, and there could well be further improvement to come.
Pastoral Player (2.00) is reckoned a possible Nunthorpe Stakes candidate by Hughie Morrison and could take the opening contest at Sandown en route. Morrison has rated the gelding highly ever since his juvenile days.
Sooraah (2.35) is considered William Haggas' best chance of a winner among a clutch of runners today, while a couple to keep in mind for next week's July meeting include Ed Dunlop's classy youngster Burwaaz, who worked well under Richard Hills on Friday morning, and Princess of Wales's Stakes contender Crystal Capella, who went clear of a useful companion on the Round Gallop in midweek.
Seen and heard
Sir Alex Ferguson might not be a man renowned for his kindness, but the Manchester United manager has generously donated his one-time Derby hope Broomielaw to the British Racing School in Newmarket. The colt, named after the area next to the Clyde in Glasgow near to where Ferguson grew up, was bought for 190,000 guineas in 2005 and showed considerable talent on the Flat for Ed Dunlop. But he suffered a number of minor setbacks and an unsuccessful stint with Paul Nicholls saw him retired before his intended career as a hurdler had even begun.
The appointment of the former Tote boss Trevor Beaumont as chief executive of Betfred ought to offer some cheer for staff at the Tote's headquarters in Wigan. While the Tote's betting shop estate is quickly set to come under Betfred's control as part of the recent £265m government sale of the business, latest reports suggest that other sectors of the business, including Betfred's remote division, could be transferred to Wigan (under the Betfred brand). Beaumont's previous board level experience at the British Horseracing Board should also lead to improved working relationships with racing's future rulers. The Tote/Betfred amalgamation is proceeding with some speed now and both legs of the traditional autumn double, the Cambridgeshire and Cesarewitch handicaps, could be run under the Betfred banner.
Today's best bet
Big Noise 4.25 Leicester
Lghtly campaigned since winning this contest two years ago, Big Noise was only a couple of lengths adrift when fifth of 29 in last year's Victoria Cup and probably retains most, if not all, of his ability. Now 9lb lower in the weights than for his last success, the booking of the excellent Harry Bentley reduces his burden by a further 5lb and he is just too well-treated to overlook.

Even though preliminary recommendations of self-regulation for the auction industry have been released by the Sales Integrity Task Force, the Kentucky legislature still has several months before it will act on them.
But a couple of key state legislators have voiced early opinions on the recommendations, which provide suggested regulatory guidelines for owner transparency, agent licensing, and medical disclosures in relation to Kentucky public horse auctions.
Democratic representative Larry Clark of Louisville, who co-sponsored the 2007 house bill that sought strict government regulation for certain auction aspects, said that while he is going to wait for the task force's final recommendations to form a full opinion, he is for the most part unhappy with the early results.
"My position is that I am somewhat disappointed they have chosen self-compliance/self-policing," said Clark, who is speaker pro tem in the Kentucky House. "I am concerned they didn't go far enough.
"But I am going to wait until discussing this with the other members of the (joint) committee (on licensing and occupations) and myself, before I take any official position."
When pressed, Clark said he thought regulatory law would be of benefit in at least some areas, including the licensing of agents.
"If we put something in statute, I think it would have more teeth, and would help make sure people abide by the law," he said.
Republican Senate counterpart and horse industry veteran Damon Thayer of Georgetown took quite the opposite stance, praising the recommendations as a large step in the right direction.
"Big-brother government is not always the answer," said Thayer in a phone interview from New Jersey, where he is working as a consultant for the upcoming Breeders' Cup World Championships at Monmouth Park. "I believe the industry should be given an opportunity to enact these reforms and work with a strong dual agency bill that is already on the books.
"Every time we create a new licensing association, we create a new level of government bureaucracy that comes at a cost to the taxpayer," he continued. "More often than not, the groups come back because they are fighting among themselves. They want to change the law and it turns into a complete waste of our time to help mediate these fights. We end up telling them, 'Go fix it yourself.' Don't always look at government to create a solution."
When asked, Clark said reintroducing legislation into the 2008 General Assembly is an option if the final task force recommendations don't measure up to snuff, though he wasn't ready to handicap the chances of it passing into law. But he did say that the February compromise leading to the tabling of the original bill and ultimate resurrection of the task force suggested industry officials thought passage of such legislation was possible.
"They were obviously concerned something was going to happen, or they wouldn't have come to me with this and agreed to these terms," Clark said of the compromise.
"The big thing is that we have the industry trying to do something positive, and that was my main objective. We always have the option to pass legislation. But for now, I am going to keep my powder dry and see how this thing plays out."
Thayer believes any proposed legislation would have a difficult time obtaining approval.
"There are Democrats and Republicans in the House who oppose the bill," he said. "And I believe it is the sense of the Senate that there is not much support for this kind of legislation, particularly in light that the Sale Integrity Task Force has met all year long, and has met back with the licensing and occupation committee regarding its work.
"I'll work closely with my colleague, Sen. Gary Tapp, who chairs the (licensing and occupations committee), of which I am also a member, to make sure the Sales Integrity Task Force gets a full airing of its report," he added. "I certainly don't see myself supporting any legislation in the 2008 General Assembly."
The task force will accept written opinions on its recommendations until Oct. 31 and will post signed comments on its Web site (www.salesintegrity.org). The task force hopes to have its recommendations finalized by early November and presented to the legislature before the Dec. 31 deadline.
The 2008 Kentucky General Assembly begins Jan. 8 and runs for 60 days, excluding holidays and weekends, through the end of March.

Load of crap, how is being nice to women disrespectful. They all enjoyed the ceremony. If they aren't complaining then neither should you. All for women's rights but stop acting like every time a man shows a woman some courtesy its disrespect. Get over it!
after reading it over, my last comment may have come off as a bit strong and for that I will apologize however I stand by what I said
The man was being funny… that's all… I watched the video of the event several times and no matter how hard I try, I can find nothing offensive in Joe Biden's remarks. You may not think the remarks funny, but to find them offensive? Absurd…
Interesting that you think it "absurd" to hold the VP up to a higher level of behavioral expectations. Can't say I am "offended" by what he did/said, but it certainly isn't what I expect of the VP.
The fact that people think this is "funny" or a "load of crap" is just a sign of how out of touch people are when it comes to objectification and what that means. Certainly this is not showing courtesy, actually it's just the opposite.
I think this short video clip does not do justice to how he was acting. Even the anchors on The Today Show likened his behavior to that of Richard Dawson from the hey day of Family Fuel… the game show host who used to greet every female on the show with crazy levels of inappropriate affection, which does not equate to being "nice to women".
This article by Janeen Capizola goes into much great detail that might shed better light as to why people are disturbed by Biden:
Unbecoming of a VP…oddly, people who sit in those chambers day in and day out appear to find any attempt at humor somehow a relief. Maybe the women hear worse in the hallways of the Hill (the floor of the House only got a women's room LAST YEAR…not everyone approved of the expense). Still unbecoming of a VP.
I watched a small clip of VP Joe Biden at the swearing in ceremony. He was standing between what looked like a family of people, one of them being sworn in. He then made a reference and paraphrasing said, "if your told to spread your legs in Montana you might be getting arrested". The people around him nervously laughed because it seems they had no idea what the VP was talking about. Niether did I. The VP is not a bad person but I think in trying to be funny he puts his foot in his mouth. My advise to him is to leave the joke telling to the comedians and act like you are the VP of the United States.
"Someone," who replied on 1/4, may be male. "Someone" may not understand what women sense–that most don't like a man who works a crowd flirtatiously, whether with words or touching. Most feel exploited, resentful, and distrusting. That's a fact in day-to-day group situations. But for our vice-president to act so in a swearing-in ceremony takes advantage of a situation where people will not want to respond back by making a scene publicly. Our U.S. 2nd in command acted inappropriately, and it's alarming that he doesn't know better.
I second Dorn's comment that this was a very important ceremony at which most people would not want to create a scene. That is why no one called Mr. Biden on his manners. Our VP's actions were totally inappropriate. In a situation like that, most people just grin and bear it although they seethe inside. As our Vice President, I expect him to behave in a much more dignified manner. His behavior demeans the office he holds.

Mayor Wagner's statement regarding City Hall Sit-ins
This episode is from the WNYC archives. It may contain language which is no longer politically or socially appropriate.
Recording opens with press officer describing the conference proceedings.
Mayor Wagner makes brief statement regarding the arrest of individuals participating in a civil rights sit-in at the Mayor's office. This ended 44 days of demonstrators gathering outside of their to chant and sing. The mayor said that he had been forced to react after increasing provocation. The incident involved twelve protesters who tried to chain themselves to a pillar at the entrance of City Hall, and when prevented from doing so by police attempted to storm the building. During the resulting scuffle three police officers were reported injured.
As a result Mayor Wagner banned sit-ins and restricted pickets to the outside perimeter of City Hall Square.
Following the Mayor's prepared talk Commissioner Michael J. Murphy answers a few questions related to the Police Department's plans of how to confront issues related to protesters.

Morgantown, West Virginia 26505
United States
The Dominion Post is the only commercial daily newspaper in Morgantown, West Virginia. It is the merger, over time, of the Morgantown New Dominion, the Morgantown News, which became the Morgantown Dominion-News, and the Morgantown Post. The term "New Dominion" was a reference to Virginia's state nickname of "Old Dominion", referencing the separation of the state in 1863.
While it dominates the local market, it has a healthy competition with the Fairmont Times-West Virginian in the rural counties surrounding the area to be the primary newspaper.[citation needed] As Morgantown is considered part of the Pittsburgh television market, the Dominion Post has a news partnership with KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh, serving as a second news partner to the station alongside the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, covering West Virginia topics for the station.
The paper is owned by John Raese and his brother David Raese. John Raese was an unsuccessful Republican candidate for the United States Senate in 1984, 2006, and 2011 and for Governor in 1988. He also owns the West Virginia Radio Corporation and its Metro News division, however the two news operations do not share resources.
The newspaper takes a conservative stand on most issues; in recent years, since John Raese became involved in Republican politics, the paper has grown considerably more conservative and follows the national Republican Party's positions on many issues.[citation needed] It covers West Virginia University and its sports programs very closely, often to the exclusion of other news.[citation needed]
The Dominion Post traces its roots to 1864 when The Morgantown Weekly Post was founded. In 1876, the other predecessor of the paper, The New Dominion was founded. In 1930, The New Dominion became The Dominion News. Around this time, the two papers formed the West Virginia Newspaper Publishing Company and consolidated their publishing operations. It was not until 1973 that the two papers officially merged and became The Dominion Post.[2]
Online Edition[edit]
The Dominion Post is only available online for subscribers. The system runs on a custom software platform that allows users to see and navigate the same version of the print edition online. The Dominion Post had a free online edition available since 1996, but switched to the paid module in January 2005. This caused complaints from many of its readers. The Dominion Post still offers limited free sections online including Classified Ads and Educational Resources.

How many members no longer have moms living or have either bad relationships or shaky relationships with their moms?
My mom and I are like evil stepsisters at best. I do love her, but we've never been close. We keep trying to repair it and I hope somehow we do, but currently we just are so different that we aren't very close.
My mom passed away almost 11 years ago (when I was 24) from breast cancer. I still miss her, but my heart especially aches for ds because he never had the chance to meet her or know her. She would have spoiled him beyond belief.11-02-2004, 03:08 PM #3

I must be part of kimmee and renee's family also....LOL!
My mother lives a life of make believe. She loves money, and will get it no matter what she has to do. My step g-ma passed away in '01 and my mother applied for credit cards in g-ma's name while she was on her death bed. She charged up and insane amount of money on several different cards before she got caught. And then only got a yr of probation from the courts...that still blows my mind.
I grew up thinking my step-dad, who is mexican, was my real dad. There was 8 of us kids, some looked mexican and some looked white. She explained this away by saying that some of us looked like her and some looked like our dad. I only found out that he wasn't my father, when my real father, who lived in the same town as I, died, and I was listed as a living relative. Talk about creeping someone out.

Radio Londra, to give this band and their debut album its proper title, is a sparkling quartet drawn from top British and Italian talent. Drummer-producer Enzo Zirilli grooves stylishly alongside Ross Stanley, a versatile organist who creates propulsive patterns and can take a scorching solo. And up front, outstanding and upstanding, are Glaswegian genius Jim Mullen and Luca Boscagin, a young gentleman from Verona.
It's a tale of two guitarists, different in style but similar in eloquence. Their opening number, Tenderly, is normally a ballad but was taken medium-fast with half-choruses rotating between keys a minor-third apart, a neat device favoured by the late great Bill Evans. Mullen, who never uses a pick, was soon cooking at full temperature, his thumb-driven ideas full of humour and soulful logic.
A gifted "quoter", he occasionally injects snatches of familiar song titles into his line. This irritates some listeners but properly done, it adds wit and vitality to the performance. Last night he flipped My Favourite Things, Take the 'A' Train and Eleanor Rigby from his data-bank, and why not? Dexter Gordon did it, Sonny Stitt did it, and Charlie Parker did it better than anybody.
Stardust, by Hoagy Carmichael — "a fine old Scottish name", as Mullen observed — was beautifully voiced in chords by Boscagin before the group's blazing set-closer, the old Stones hit Satisfaction, rearranged at a tempo that would rock the composers' socks off. Tune into Radio Londra. It's a hard-swinging unit that can hold its own in any company.

Heckler slams Russian leader on constitution change
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev suffered a rare interruption by a heckler on Friday who told an audience in the Kremlin that proposed constitutional amendments extending the presidential term were "a disgrace."
During a Kremlin speech marking the 15th anniversary of the Russian constitution, Medvedev was interrupted by a well known opposition activist as the president spoke about freedoms.
"The amendments are a disgrace," shouted the heckler.
Medvedev, who is rarely heckled, ignored the interruption.
After a few minutes, the heckler shouted: "There are no real elections. It is a disgrace."
Several presidential security guards started to try to escort the heckler out, said a Reuters reporter at the event, but Medvedev intervened.
"Really there is no need to take anyone away. Let him stay and listen," Medvedev said to applause from the hall.
"The constitution was accepted for that -- so that everyone had a right to express their own positions. It is also a position which can be respected."
The security guards nevertheless escorted the heckler away. Continued...
