While it may be hard to believe in
today's era of corporate engines, each GM division, at least
through the mid-70s, had their own unique design.
The Olds was also arguably the
first of what later became known as the "muscle car." It all
started with SV 49, an experimental short-stroke,
high-compression V-8. A new 304-cid engine introduced in 1949 as
the "Rocket V-8" and the "Rocket Era" begins. With that engine
Oldsmobile quickly became the undisputed king of the stock car
The Sixties was
all about horsepower and performance with the introduction of
the 394-cid over head valve V-8 that produced 315 horsepower.
Followed by the 400-cid V-8s that made there debut in the
Cutlass 4-4-2. In 1968 the legendary 455-cid V-8 producing 365
horsepower came to life and is sought after today by Oldsmobile
Oldsmobile 307 was produced from 1980-1990 and the 350 was
produced from 1968 thru 1980. The Oldsmobile 350 is an entirely
different engine then the famous Chevy 350.
with the vast array of performance parts available we can turn your
Oldsmobile from a mild 300 horse power grocery getter to a wild
tire smoking 475 horse power animal.
you are restoring your early Oldsmobile we can upgrade the horse
power and still keep it looking original. Please call us for

Hydroponic Farming in the Philippines Maximizes Yield At a Minimum Cost
Exclusive Content
Trump's Plan to "Make Retirement Great Again"?
The "fake news" media won't admit it…
But thanks to Trump…
Seniors across America now have a chance to turn a small stake of $100 into a small fortune.
There's an estimated $11.1 trillion at stake.
Click here to see how you can claim YOUR share.
A low-cost, easy-to-use hydroponics system developed in the Philippines is giving small communities with little land an inexpensive way to produce their own vegetables. The system is designed to maximize yields from limited resources and is already proving its worth with bumper harvests of inexpensive, locally grown vegetables.
So far, in communities where the hydroponic system has already been adopted, farmers are selling a surplus of crops at a profit. And based on its success, the Philippine government plans to soon expand the program to additional parts of the country.

Your first option sholud be to fund fully a retirement account. This is always a great investment. If you have done this, or you wish to wait on the retirement fund, then one of the best things you can do is open a DRIP Plan.They are seldom talked about because brokers make very little money when they suggest them. Yet, they have proven to be one of the best, if not the best, long-term strategy on Wall Street. The best part is you get solid annual returns from well-known, safe Blue Chip companies like: McDonalds, General Electric, Pfizer, Walmart, US Bancorp .etc ..They are inexpensive to start and maintain, and your dividends are reinvested for free.They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They are safe and allow you to not care about whether the market is going up or down. There is no need for you to get to aggressive, you are young. Let dollar cost averaging and dividend reinvestment work in your favor.Good Luck

How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
HSINCHU, Taiwan , Dec. 13 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AU OptronicsCorp. (''AUO'' or the ''Company'') (TAIEX: 2409; NYSE: AUO) announced today its intention of setting up a second AUO Technology Center (''ATC'') in the Central Taiwan Science Park, which is believed to be the Park's first Research and Development facility. The Company is to combine precision machinery, optronics technologies and talented research engineers to turnout future technological breakthroughs. In this mature environment AUO plans to invest in an additional R&D facility, which is hoped to be a magnet to research engineers in optronics on to the limelight of flat panels. With the additional R&D facility, AUO's technological capabilities will gain speed and strengthen competitiveness within this cutting edge industry.
AUO Technology Center Vice-President, Dr. CT Liu , stated that since the inception of ATC (at the Hsinchu Science Park) in November 2002 , research and development investments have already reached nearly NTD 18 Billion. There are now approximately 900 research engineers on board and over 900 patent applications have been sent out. Presently, the total number of AUO's patents granted and in applicable is over 4,200 worldwide. This is a sizable accomplishment the Company's research and development team has achieved. In expanding the company's technological capabilities covering a wide-range of product mix categories, AUO plans to expand and cultivate its own team of research engineers for this great challenge ahead, inviting all talents to join this industry with great potential possibilities. This new research center is initially planned for approximately 200 research engineers, which will gradually expand to approximately 500 research engineers. Research and Development will include areas for advanced technology development in TFT-LCD, precision machinery, Information Technology application, and Consumer Electronics application technologies.
AUO President Mr . HB Chen is very positive about the Company's latest move. He stated, ''Extending our R&D center to the Central Taiwan Science Park notonly shows AUO's long-term dedication to the flat panel industry, but also offers essential technological support for our G6 and G7.5 fabrication facilities at the same site. A team of trained R&D research engineers will bein place in our central Taiwan site, which we believe will drive research institutions in this region to more technological breakthroughs on top of providing more talents to join the field. Central Taiwan has already in-place precision machinery and mature optronics technological developments where the support for our flat panel key materials and components and precision machinery are intertwined. Central Taiwan is shaping into a high technological hub where upstream supply chain are in the same facility, foron-hand and efficient support.''

Integration of Drupal with the Redis key-value store. It provides cache, lock and path optional backends as well as a placeholder module for contribution modules Redis easier usage.
Drupal 8
The first alpha release for the Drupal 8 version is now available. The basic functionality has been tested well, but there are currently some limitations:
- Sharding is currently not supported. See https://github.com/md-systems/redis/pull/7, help is needed to finish that
- Only the redis php extension is currently supported
- As this is currently an alpha release, API and configuration changes are possible.
The current release provides a cache, lock and flood backend. See README.txt for more information.
Drupal 7
For all users, please note that 3.x is now the officially supported branch, 2.x branch won't be heavily maintained anymore except for critical bugs.
Provided backends
Redis cache backend using the standalone Predis PHP library.
Requires PHP 5.3. Please read README.Predis.txt file for full install documentation.
This module since the 2.12 version now only officially supports Predis >= 1.x. Redis module 3.x only supports Predis >= 1.x
Redis cache backend using the well performing PhpRedis PHP extension.
Please read README.PhpRedis.txt file for configuration and documentation. PhpRedis is the recommended connector.
Failover, sharding and partionning
There are numerous support and feature request issues about client sharding, failover ability, multi-server connection, ability to read from slave and server clustering opened in the issue queue. Note that there is no one universally efficient solution for this: most of the solutions require that you cannot use the MULTI/EXEC command using more than one key, and that you cannot use complex UNION and intersection features anymore.
Until this module grows with (a) mature and stable solution(s) we recommend that you read the official Redis documentation page about partionning.
The best solution for clustering and sharding today seems to be the proxy assisted partionning using tools such as Twemproxy.
Proxy-assisted sharding is the recommended way of sharding cache with the this module. If you intend to do so please use the Redis 3.x branch of this module.
Additional information
- 7.x: Enabling the module serve no purpose except if another module is depending on it. If you enabled update status module, please enable it for update information, it will also provide usage statistics
- 8.x: It is recommended to have the module enabled, otherwise special configuration is needed to be able to load classes
- You can tune Redis for cache handling, see http://redis.io/topics/config below section
External resources
- Pantheon wrote a nice article about Drupal using Redis and why they use it.
- Platform.sh also provides a tutorial to use Redis on the platform.sh hosting platform: Drupal 7, Drupal 8
- ASYNC Drupal made an installation tutorial video.
Makina Corpus maintains the Drupal 7 version.
MD Systems maintains the Drupal 8 version.

JERUSALEM (Nov. 23)
"Hatuchal lomar li aich lehagia le Rehov Hashumshum?" Israeli children will be asking that question after today–it's the Hebrew equivalent of "Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?" "Sesame Street," the widely praised American education-through-entertainment program, premiered in Israel over the Television Service of the Broadcasting Authority, popularly known as General Television, which is received on home sets. It will be shown in the original English version–with occasional explanations in Hebrew–beginning with the first episode, which was seen in the US two years ago.
Two weeks ago, a special committee appointed by Yigal Allon. Deputy Premier and Education Minister, recommended that "Sesame Street" broadcasts in Israel not be extended to the in-school educational/instructional network, on grounds that it is not educational enough and depicts pigs. (In New York, a CTW spokesman said he could not recall any pigs on the show in its first two years–"certainly not in major roles.")

If you follow me on Twitter, you're well aware of the fact my camera broke.
Insert sad face emoticon here.
I don't know if you know, but a blogger without her camera is like a baseball player without a glove…
…or a red carpet event without Joan Rivers + her latest plastic surgery procedure…
…or, since this IS a food blog, a cold pint of beer without cheese curds.
It just ain't right.
At approximately 1:52pm on Friday, mere minutes before a very exciting foodie engagement, my SD memory card decided to bust and bring the rest of my camera to photography heaven along with it. No scream of anger or evocative dance of rage could express my utter frustration in this moment outside of the Quaker Steak + Lube.
But I channeled my inner yogi, took a deep breath and held it together.
Why, you ask?
Because I had a very exciting lunch date with two fantastic people: Cole and Carmen. Cole is the business mastermind behind Sunshine Burgers and Carmen is his lovely significant other.
We met at the Quaker Steak + Lube, where excitingly, Sunshine Burgers on are the menu!
For the record, Nacho Mama's Veggie Salad doesn't mess around…
I honestly loved it. In fact, crumbling Sunshine Burgers atop a ginormous junk salad may be my favorite way to eat this pure and simple veggie burger.
In case you aren't familiar with these boigers (ahem, burgers), Sunshine Burgers are organic, all-natural veggie patties made from sunflower seeds, grains, legumes and sea salt. They're vegan, soy-free AND gluten-free and come in six flavors (in order from my favorite to least favorite): Falafel, Breakfast, Garden Herb, Barbecue, Original and Southwest.
Most importantly, they are delicious. I've been happily eating them for more than a year now.
Anyways, we had a great lunch, and it was so much fun to talk to like-minded people who appreciate the art of healthy, nutritious and delicious food.
After lunch, more work and a PiperLime online shopping spree (can you call online shopping but not buying anything a spree?), I headed home, packed up my stuff and slurped down this smoothie…
1 cup vanilla kefir
1/4 cup skim milk + 1/4 cup water
1/2 cup cherries
1 sliced frozen banana
1 T vanilla cranberry peanut butter
2 cups spinach
Then, I hit the road and arrived at la casa de Mama y Papa Everythingtarian last night.
I slept 10 hours, awoke to a fresh Starbucks coffee brought to me by Daddy E and went on a 5-mile walk with Mama E. Currently, I am procrastinating doing work and researching cameras.
Since when are you actually supposed to do labor on Labor Day Weekend anyways?
Before I skedaddle, I need your help!
What kind of camera do you have? Do you like it? If you have an SLR (for example, a Canon Rebel), would you recommend it? I am debating between getting a point and shoot or a SLR camera – a point and shoot because it's easy to carry around and a SLR because the pictures are amazing. Thoughts?

I think, starting today, the "Worlds Biggest Web Host" , 1&1, now offers built-in Google Site Map Tools in their Package-level domain lists, making it extremely easy to create a sitemap for any domain hosted with their services. Too Damn Easy. They've had such tools in their "marketing tools" before but now it's much more "in your face" while you view your domain names in the hosting. The "standard" webmaster tool settings creates a very basic Google sitemap 0.84 schema, uploads it, and says "thank you" . Bam, it's that easy.
You do not have to drink the Kool-Aid folks
"Enable easy discovery of your website with Google Webmaster Tools® . Create a Sitemap for your website, with Google Webmaster Tools, and enable easy discovery of all the information on your sites with Google search. Sitemaps is a free web developer tool that provides Google with up to date information to crawl your website faster and more efficiently, ultimately improving search experience of visitors to your site."
Most sites that are hosted on 1&1 are smallish, meaning the best way to get them indexed is to create 'em properly to begin with. Google Sitemaps on small sites is just a way to cover up structural problems and fill the Google index with garbage sites. Using Google Sitemaps in such a casual way is a lazy way to deal with crawling your site, and actually hides problems on your site that you NEED TO FIX with thoughtful design work.
I recommend you use this tool at SEOMOZ.org to test the "crawlability" of your site… and go from there. PS: You need to log in to seomoz.org. Yes, it's worth it, and yes you should become a premium member. Once you fix it properly, you can count on Google, Yahoo!, MSN, and every engine to crawl your site regularly, cleanly and easily.
Postscript: Matt McGee did a nice wrap up of other professionals' opinions on Site Maps.

He added, "I am confident that both will continue the FCC's long heritage of fact-based decision-making that promotes competition, stimulates private investment and innovation, and protects consumers and the public interest values we all cherish as Americans."
Rosenworcel was the senior communications counsel to the Senate Commerce Committee. She worked at the FCC from 1999 to 2007, including as a legal adviser to Democratic Commissioner Michael Copps. Pai was a partner at Jenner & Block, a law firm he joined last year after leaving the FCC's Office of General Counsel.
"It's encouraging that the new FCC Commissioners have a keen understanding of the profound impact FCC policy can have on a broad swath of industry participants, including smaller firms in smaller markets and rural areas, whether in West Virginia or Kansas.

Woolston Rovers A 8
Latchford Albion 30
WOOLSTON Rovers became the latest to fall victim to Latchford Albion's unbeaten run as table toppers in North West Men's League Division Two.
A try from returning centre Cameron Davies gave Latchford the lead but a response from Lee Fazackerley left the sides level at 4-4 going into the break.
Tom Fagan's try in the second half proved to be not enough for Rovers as Latchford stepped up a gear.
Albion started to control possession and Adam Wood finished off a good handling move, with Dobson converting.
Kyle Sherratt used his size and power to score and any hopes of a home side comeback were dashed when Craig Middlemore received a great pass from Danny Brown to burst through.
Craig Woolvine crossed next following a good break by Chris Joynson.
Latchford ended the scoring when hooker Dave Saunders spotted a gap and sneaked over.

The track, which is a re-interpretation of 'My Favorite Things', was first performed live by the singer during her 'Life Is Good' tour in 2012.
Lauryn Hill has just released the "sketch" version of "Black Rage". In a Twitter post she sent out on Wednesday, August 20 along with the link to her SoundCloud page, she says the recording is old and she made it in her living room.
The version is rough. Over acoustic guitar riffs and children's voices, Hill sings about racial inequity and abuse. "Black rage is founded on two-thirds a person/ Rapings and beatings and suffering that worsens/ Black human packages tied up in strings/ Black rage can come from all these kinds of things."
"Black Rage" is a re-interpretation of "My Favorite Things". The song was first performed live by Hill in 2012, during a show on her "Life Is Good" tour.
Hill dedicates the sketch version to the protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, who are still searching for justice following the tragic death of Michael Brown.

Jordan is my attorney, and he, like all other good attorneys, are busy. Although that is not an excuse for late filings. He has not filed anything late in my case.
I asked for help on a criminal matter, he has helped a lot. By writing documents and doing legal research, he has wrapped his mind around a very complex and interesting case.
I was in trial in Montana and the prosecution took my trial materials in the middle of my cross examining one of the prosecution's witnesses. Most lawyers would not get involved with a self-represented person, but Jordan got involved. He has provided me with the necessary experience and objective perspective that this case so badly needed.
I would recommend him for he will tell you the truth. He cares more about the case, than money.
As a 20-year veteran of I.T. Consulting, I am too familiar with how difficult his job may be. And while being late and losing the unwinnable case are unfortunate - they have always been the reality.
Late filings do not cause the loss of a case, as there are good faith exceptions that exist for such a situation. My guess is that the person who posted a negative review, is not telling the entire story. I believe that my experience is common.
I have hired many attorneys for civil, business matters and for one criminal matter. No case is perfect, if it was, we would not need the court system or judges. But, rather, cases and the law are complex.
Jordan takes my calls and has consistently returned them. I'm not gonna lie, I have been afraid that something was not filed on time, but after the fact, I was reassured - by the Court that Jordan did it right. I just didn't know. So I've been nervous, but the information I received from Jordan was accurate. If he doesn't know, he asks, and sometimes I have known more about a specific issue than he, and he was humble about it. It's a deal - maker for me, because a close-minded lawyer cannot win very often.
The only reason I didn't give an excellent rating is because he doesn't have a large team working for him - but after all, it's a small town. He handles all California and Montana cases, but works mostly in Alturas and Susanville. If he had a large office, he would be able to refer extremely urgent matters to a small task team for near instant results.
I recommend Jordan Funk.

Never could remember our child's name even though we've worked with him for nearly two years, when we appeared in court he first went to the clerk of court to be reminded of his client after us' name, was then fined $250 at our hearing for "forgetting" to file important paperwork on our case...that is just to name a few. Attempted to schedule court dates for two weeks later knowing that we live out of state and would not be back to CA until months later. We lost quite a bit of money because Jordan did not file the appropriate paperwork at all much less in a timely fashion...

HARKER HEIGHTS — Ellison took a 10-point lead into the fourth quarter Tuesday, but Harker Heights wasn't going to let the Lady Eagles earn a road victory without a fight.
Despite two starters fouling out, and a late charge by the host Lady Knights, Ellison prevailed 55-47 in a matchup of district unbeatens Tuesday at Heights gymnasium.
With the win, the defending district champions are now the only team without a district loss this season, and coach Sherry McKinnon, for the most part, is pleased with where her team is right now.
"They're trying to do everything I need them to do," McKinnon said. "One big thing is they're playing as a team, they're looking out for each other on the court."
After starting the second quarter up one, Ellison went into the half up 11 as it held Heights to just five second-quarter points.
"We were boxing out, keeping them to one opportunity," McKinnon said. "Definitely, we applied a lot of pressure to them and tried to get them to make mistakes."
But Heights stormed back in the fourth, pulling within single digits, only for Ellison to hold on for the win.
Jordanna Porter led Ellison with a game-high 21 points while Francesca Patrick added 11 and Bri'anna Gray added 10.
Alexus Dukes led Heights with 16 points while Angela DeLaney had 13.
WACO MIDWAY 38, COPPERAS COVE 37: At Waco, the Lady Bulldawgs led by one point with 16 seconds remaining, but a turnover led to a game-winning layup for the Pantherettes.
Mikayla Blount scored a team-high 11 points for Copperas Cove, while teammates Brittany Gamble and Angel Mullen scored 10 and eight points, respectively.
The win gives the Pantherettes their first District 8-5A victory of the season, while dropping the Lady Bulldawgs record to 7-6 overall and 1-2 in district.
GATESVILLE 40, WACO CONNALLY 35: At Waco, three players recorded double-digit performances offensively and Gatesville rebounded from a pair of disappointing losses to record its first victory in almost two weeks.
Randi Farney, Brianna Poe and Kayla McGiboney each finished with 11 points as the Lady Hornets outscored Connally 30-19 in the second half.
Gatesville (8-9) produced just 10 points in the first half and trailed by six points at halftime before getting hot on offense.
Prior to Tuesday, the Lady Hornets committed a total of 76 turnovers during two consecutive games, losing both by a combined 75 points.
SALADO 49, LEXINGTON 26: At Lexington, Ashley Adams' unusual double-double (18 points and 10 steals) led Salado in a 22-2A blowout win.
Taryn Kornegay added 11 points, and Jaylee Sebek added 10 for Salado (11-4, 2-1 22-2A). Taylor Atwood had five points and 16 rebounds.
Lexington (0-3 22-2A) trailed 12-4 after one quarter and 21-7 at intermission.
ROGERS 57, FLORENCE 31: At Florence, the Lady Buffs got off to a bad start and never recovered in a loss to Rogers.
Rebecca Horton led Florence (5-12, 0-3 22-2A) with 16 points and six rebounds.
Florence trailed 13-2 after the opening period and 32-12 at halftime.
The Lady Buffs are off until hosting Cameron Yoe on New Year's Eve at 11 a.m.
SALADO 77, LEXINGTON 15: At Lexington, No. 22 Salado didn't allow more than seven points in any quarter in a dominating win at Lexington.
Salado was quick out of the gate, outscoring Salado 31-3 in the first quarter and making sure there would be no comeback by holding a 20-9 scoring edge in the second half.
"I think we all played really well," Salado coach Kenny Mann said. "I was proud of my bench guys. I didn't play my starters in the second half and we still outscored them in the second half. I was pleased with that."
Chase Kelly scored a game-high 13 points while Chris Deal added 12.
ROGERS 42, FLORENCE 34: At Florence, Alfredo Pena scored 10 points, but Florence fell to Rogers in its District 22-2A opener.
Michael Hoisington and Wyatt Odom combined for 15 points for the Buffaloes (4-5, 0-1 District 22-2A).
Florence won't have another game until Dec. 27 when it opens up play at the Troy Tournament.
LOMETA 73, CHEROKEE 24: At Lometa, Shane Stone scored 15 points to help No. 18 Lometa win its final pre-district warmup.
Kyle Molter added 14 points and Ivan Jasso chipped in 11 of his own.
Lometa (9-4) opens District 28-1A, Division II play on Friday when it hosts Jonesboro.

Research on Silurian
From April to October each summer, Silurian works around the Hebrides, monitoring cetaceans and other marine wildlife.
What are we researching?
Onboard, our team of scientists and volunteers are conducting visual and acoustic surveys to find out more about the distribution, abundance, movements and behaviour of whales, dolphins, porpoises, and other fauna such as basking sharks, seals and seabirds. We also investigate high-use habitats – areas that are particularly favourable for certain species, and anthropogenic impacts – and the effects of human activity on the region's cetaceans.
Until recently, remarkably little was known about the whales, dolphins and porpoises found in Hebridean waters. Baseline data on their distribution, movements, habitats, and any threats they face are essential. Only with these data can we monitor any changes that are occurring, and protect these populations in the future by enabling appropriate conservation and management decisions to be taken.
Onboard Silurian, our crew and volunteers conduct visual and acoustic line transect surveys for cetaceans and other marine wildlife. Visual surveys are carried out by scanning the sea with the naked eye and binoculars. Sightings and other environmental data are collected and stored using the real time data-logging program LOGGER (developed by International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)), which saves directly into a Microsoft Access database. Photographic images are taken of the species we encounter to enable photo-identification.
All cetaceans make sounds under water, to navigate, orientate and find food. It is possible to identify many individual species by the characteristics of the sounds they make. With the use of underwater microphones, called hydrophones, either towed behind a boat or attached to the seabed, we can conduct acoustic surveys to find out more about cetacean activity, even when animals are underwater, or the weather is too poor for visual surveys.
On Silurian acoustic surveys are carried out by towing a 100m long stereo hydrophone that is designed to detect cetaceans which make higher frequency sounds – dolphins and harbour porpoises. PAMGUARD software processes and visually represents the high frequency echolocation sounds made by harbour porpoises, so they can be detected in real time. We are also able to record the whistles and clicks of dolphin species encountered.
Other ecological indicators such as seabird activity and sea surface temperature are also monitored. Anthropogenic impacts which may affect cetacean activity are also recorded. These include boat activity, location of static fishing gear, marine litter and underwater noise. As sound and hearing are essential to cetaceans for finding food and navigating, noise has significant potential impact. We use our hydrophone to monitor and record the sounds made by Acoustic Deterrent Devices (ADDs), also known as seal scarers, which are placed on many fish farms to deter seals, but may also affect cetaceans. We are also able to record military sonar when it is in use in our survey area.
The scientific surveys are licensed by Scottish Natural Heritage and accredited by WiSe (our skipper and first mate are WiSe trained). Our crew work with a team of six volunteers, who come from all walks of life and all ages. Volunteers participate in surveys as visual observers and data recorders on 7 and 10 day trips, and receive scientific, survey and sailing training. Find out about volunteering on Silurian here.

Senator Clinton Introduces 'Green Hospitals' Legislation
Brings Fresh Produce, Green Construction & Energy Savings to Hospitals
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton today introduced legislation designed to improve environmentally sustainable practices in the health care industry. Her Green Hospitals package will expand the availability of locally produced, nutritious foods; encourage green construction and renovation; and expand environmentally sustainable building maintenance and operations.
"This legislation will make hospitals and health care facilities greener, healthier, and more efficient. Helping our hospitals join the green revolution promises so many benefits, from significant savings on energy costs to improved diet and wellness for patients and employees," Senator Clinton said. "This is also an exciting new way to help New York farms find new markets for their produce. I have worked to get fresh foods into schools and underserved communities. Now we are adding hospitals to that list."
Senator Clinton's Green Hospitals package is made up of three bills:
* The Healthy Foods for Healthy Lives Act would authorize the United States Department of Agriculture to provide $25 million annually in funding to help hospitals, VA centers, and nutrition service organizations provide locally produced healthy food to patients, employees and clients. It builds on Senator Clinton's successful Farm-to-Fork initiative and her legislation to bring healthy foods into schools.
* The Green Hospitals, Healthy Hospitals Act would provide $100 million annually in long term, no-interest loans to hospitals to help them engage in green hospital construction and renovation, with priority given to hospitals serving low-income families.
* The Greening the Health Care Workforce Act would provide $10 million annually in Environmental Protection Agency grants to health care institutions to help them train their employees in environmentally sustainable practices.
Senator Clinton has been a leader in the Senate on environmental health issues. She has introduced multiple bills - including the Family Asthma Act, the Coordinated Environmental Public Health Network Act, the Lead Elimination, Abatement and Poisoning Prevention Act, and the Home Lead Safety Tax Credit Act - to help decrease exposures to the environmental pollutants linked to illness, and expand our understanding of the links between environment and disease.
Last year Senator Clinton and Senator John Kerry (D-MA) introduced the Zero-Emissions Building Act to require that all new federal buildings or major renovations reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 50 percent as compared to a 2003 baseline. In 2010, and every five years after that, the emissions reduction level would increase by 10 percent, until new federal buildings reach "zero-emissions" in 2030. (See http://clinton.senate.gov/news/statements/details.cfm?id=271726)
Senator Clinton has long been a champion of New York farmers and producers of fresh and healthy foods. Her Farm-to-Fork initiative has helped connect producers with restaurants, schools, and under-served communities. The recently enacted Farm Bill included key provisions Senator Clinton introduced along with Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) which aimed to increase the supply and availability of locally produced foods to underserved communities by providing innovative financing for small and midsized family farmers and ranchers, and also included measures to increase the amount of fruits and vegetables in school meals.

Alpha Protocol - Preview @ NowGamer
View Single Post
August 3rd, 2009, 09:14
Sadly, I've learned that previews are essentially information neutral.
Sometimes they're absolutely right and contain key information, but the rule is that they're not to be trusted. Not only are previews, by nature, a first impression - they're also part of a now very large business with many strong interests to be taken care of.
Most AAA titles live or die by their hype and first impressions, so naturally the first hours of gameplay will be the strongest. Bethesda is a very good example, because their games tend to make a very strong first impression - even on seasoned gamers. Previews in this case will be nearly 100% positive - and this is without the corruption factor.
In effect, I simply don't use previews for anything except a hollow passtime. Sometimes they contain interesting factual information, but even that is something to be sceptical of.

- Volume V
An illustrated atlas of the history of the remarkable city of York, concentrating on the growth and form of the settlement across two thousand years.
Important since Roman times, the city of York grew to become one of the most prosperous, densely settled and influential cities of England in the medieval period and beyond. The atlas charts the development of the city up to the advent of the railway age.
The volume is edited by Dr Peter Addyman (formerly Director of the York Archaeological Trust) and written by a team of experts in the various phases of the development of this important city.
The atlas text covers:
- Roman York
- Anglian and Anglo-Scandinavian York
- Early and late medieval York
- York 1530 to c.1700
- York c.1700 to 1840
- A summary of York from 1840 to the present day
The atlas incorporates a comprehensive gazetteer which explains the origins and development of all principal buildings, streets and features shown on the maps, with a grid-reference for location.
Some 25 or so maps show the city at various phases in its development, the complex parish boundaries of York, and York in its regional and local settings. The volume also includes a specially produced version of the second edition OS one-inch map of York and its surroundings, and modern maps of York in 2015.
At the heart of the atlas is a detailed map of the city at 1:2500 showing all the sites of York's most important buildings and structures on a base map of c.1850, the first time that such a map of the city has been made.
Most of the maps in the volume are presented as PDFs on a CD as part of the book.
The volume also includes historic and modern aerial photographs of the city centre, and ninety or so illustrations of the main buildings, streetscapes and prominent topographic features of the city..
The maps, text, gazetteer and illustrations are presented in an A3 stiff card binder, a format allowing for maps of different date to be compared side-by-side.
The atlas has been reprinted
The atlas was published in December 2015. Owing to high demand, it rapidly sold out. A reprint (with minor corrections) has been made, and is available from York bookshops, other bookshops on order, or from on-line retailers.
It can also be ordered through Oxbow Books, and the price is £70.
Article about the atlas in The Times
An article about the York atlas, written by its archaeology correspondent, Norman Hammond, appeared on page 82 of The Times on Saturday 10th September 2016. Mr Hammond talked to Peter Addyman, the volume's editor, and discusses the background to the project and what it reveals about York. The article describes the depiction of York as a 'Northern powerhouse as being 'splendidly documented' in the volume.

You are hereHome › Carol Bratt › Use AutoFill: MS Excel
Use AutoFill: MS Excel
After you've built a budget for a single period of time, you often have to repeat the process for several other time periods, say the next month, quarter or year. MS Excel provides the AutoFill feature to copy text, numbers and formulas to adjacent cells. You can also use the feature to create a sequence.
AutoFill saves you the trouble of typing the same text, numbers and formulas repeatedly.
Copy Data
The active cell is surrounded by a bold rectangle, and on the lower-right corner is a small black square called the fill handle.
- Select the cell you want to copy.
- Place the mouse pointer over the fill handle. It turns into a black cross (rather than the normal fat plus).
- Drag across or down adjacent cells.
Using AutoFill you can quickly and easily build a large worksheet by copying text and numbers to adjacent cells. Excel is so smart: when you copy formulas using AutoFill, they automatically adjust to refer to the correct items.
Fill a Series
The AutoFill feature is awesome; it correctly figures out what you want to put in adjacent cells. How it works depends on what you select.
To continue a sequence of dates, times or certain time periods from a single cell:
- Select the cell containing the beginning value.
- Place the mouse pointer over the fill handle.
- Drag across or down adjacent cells.
If you hold down the Ctrl key as you drag the fill handle, numbers increase by 1 and dates and times are copied as is, instead of changed to the next value.
To continue a sequence of numbers, dates or time periods based on the data in two or more adjacent cells:
- Type the first few items of the sequence in adjacent cells.
- Select the cells.
- Drag the fill handle to adjacent cells.
The series extends based on the cells you have selected.
As you drag, the yellow Screen Tip shows the contents of the cells. When you select more than one cell, the sequence continues according to the first few items.
You can also create a custom fill series, such as "high, medium, low" or "strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, and strongly disagree."

Manila (AFP) June 20, 2013
The Philippines needs an extra $47 million to help more than half a million displaced people recover from a killer typhoon last year and ongoing guerrilla activity, the UN and other aid donors said Thursday.
About 530,000 people urgently need permanent shelters and emergency jobs, while debris from last December's Typhoon Bopha still has to be cleared, said David Carden of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
"Obviously we would need to receive (more aid) as soon as possible. There are still needs both in typhoon-affected areas and in other parts of Mindanao. I really hope these areas are not hit again," he told reporters.
A joint mission of UN OCHA and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation visited the southern region of Mindanao this week, seven months after Bopha killed more than 1,000 people and left hundreds more missing.
Other parts of Mindanao are saddled with decades-old Muslim armed rebellions which have claimed tens of thousands of lives since the 1970s.
The UN-OIC mission found the region needed $91 million to fund recovery projects, more than double the $44 million that the UN and other donors were able to raise for relief under the updated aid plan, said Assistant Foreign Secretary Jesus Domingo.
Carden said the aid must reach these areas immediately as the Philippines' rainy season had begun and these areas were still vulnerable to another typhoon.
While the government has signed a ceasefire with the main Muslim rebel groups, violence between armed factions often breaks out, prompting thousands to flee their homes.
The government is now in talks with the region's main Muslim guerrilla force in a bid to seal a final peace pact before the end of President Benigno Aquino's term in 2016.
Rashid Khalikov, a director for the UN OCHA, said the displaced population in the areas of Muslim rebellion were "more focused on immediate needs for the day: shelter, food, education for their children."
Domingo also said he was concerned that those affected might be easy prey to human traffickers who lure them away by promising better-paying jobs.

Bone Geometry Parameters among Black and White Women with SLE.
Alele2, Jimmy D., Kamen2, Diane L., Hunt2, Kelly J., Gilkeson1, Gary S., Ramsey-Goldman3, Rosalind
Med Univ of South Carolina, Charleston, SC

Recent studies reported an increased prevalence of osteoporotic fractures among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). While the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) is higher among these subjects than the general population, this finding does not fully account for increased fracture rate. The purpose of this study was to determine if SLE status was associated with bone geometry parameters that predict increased skeletal fragility among black and white women.
Study subjects included 153 women who had participated in the Study of Lupus Vascular and bone Long Term Endpoints (SOLVABLE) (69% white, 31% black) and 4920 controls from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) (59% white, 41% black). Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans from SOLVABLE (Hologic DQR-4500), and NHANES III (Hologic DQR-1000) were analyzed using the Hip Structure Analysis (HAS) program to derive BMD and bone geometry parameters (section modulus, buckling ratio, outer diameter and cross-sectional area) at the femoral neck, intertrochanter and proximal femoral shaft. Linear regression was used to examine differences (SLE vs. NHANES) in bone density and geometry in blacks and whites after adjusting for age and body mass index.
NHANES participants were older than SLE subjects, and were more likely to smoke. We detected significant BMD and bone geometry differences (SLE vs. non-SLE, black and white subjects) at the intertrochanter as follows and per table below:
1) BMD (g/cm2) was lower among both black and white SLE subjects (0.80 vs. 0.94, p<0.0001 and 0.82 vs. 0.86, p<0.01 respectively).
2) BMD reduction was associated with reductions of cross sectional area (cm2) among black and white SLE subjects (3.76 vs. 4.61 and 4.05 vs. 4.35 respectively, p<0.0001), suggesting that low BMD among SLE patients was a result of reduced total bone quantity.
3) Section modulus (cm3) was also reduced among SLE subjects in both races (3.03 vs. 3.81, p<0.0001 and 3.54 vs. 3.76, p<0.01 respectively), suggesting reductions in bending resistance among SLE patients.
4) Reductions in section modulus were accompanied by reductions in outer skeletal diameter (cm) among both black and white SLE subjects (4.98 vs. 5.20, p<0.0001 and 5.19 vs. 5.31, p<0.001, respectively), suggesting reduced subperiosteal apposition.
5) Finally, buckling ratio was increased among black patients vs. NHANES (9.49 vs. 8.58, p<0.01), suggesting increased tendency for local cortical buckling among black patients at this location. Similar findings were detected at the narrow neck and proximal shaft.
Table. Age and BMI-adjusted mean (95% CI) bone mineral density and bone geometry parameters stratified by race and SLE status.
Our study suggests that SLE is associated with BMD and bone geometry profiles that predict increased skeletal fragility among both black and white women. These skeletal differences probably result from the inflammatory nature of SLE and common therapies, especially steroids.

The Last Man: A British Genocide in Tasmania
Professor Tom Lawson
Thu 27 Feb 2014
Time: 6.30pm - 8.00pm
Little more than seventy years after the British settled Van Diemen's Land (later Tasmania) in 1803, its indigenous population had been virtually wiped out. Yet this genocide - one of the earliest of the modern era - is virtually forgotten in Britain today. This seems especially striking in a world that is conscious of genocide as the ultimate atrocity. Tom Lawson's new book The Last Man: A British Genocide in Tasmania is the first to specifically explore the role of the British government and wider society in the destruction of the Aboriginal Tasmanians.
Tom Lawson is Professor of History at Northumbria University. He is the author of Debates on the Holocaust and The Church of England and the Holocaust: Christianity, Memory and Nazism; and co-editor of three further books including The Memory of the Holocaust in Australia and The Holocaust and Local History. He is also co-editor of the Holocaust Studies: a journal of culture and history.

In her character Ava Lord, the actress wears a transparent dressing gown parted in the middle while holding a revolver.
A "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" poster featuring Eva Green has been banned by the Motion Picture Association of America for its "nudity" content. Although not technically naked, Green's breasts and sexy curves are seen through her sheer dressing gown.
Green appeared in the poster as her character Ava Lord. "I've been especially bad," read the tagline. Per Deadline, the MPAA cited "curve of under breast and dark nipple/areola circle visible through sheer gown" as grounds for rejection.
Dimension Films declined to comment on the ban but confirmed to Deadline that they were working on a compromise before the movie opens in theaters August 22. Despite the decision, the poster is still available for public view.
"Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" is a sequel to 2005 film "Sin City". In Green's segment, Josh Brolin's Dwight McCarthy struggles with his inner demons and tries to maintain control until his former lover Ava Lord returns, wanting his help to escape her abusive husband billionaire Damien Lord and his massive bodyguard Manute. However, a love struck Dwight soon learns that Ava's true intentions are far more sinister than they appear.

PROPOSALS for improvement work on a car park at Cirencester Hospital have been resubmitted.
The car park was closed by the Dowager Countess Bathurst in October and was expected to reopen weeks later with ticket barriers and payment machines.
But it was discovered that planning consent was needed to level and re-surface the car park and install kerbing, barriers and pay machines.
It was also pointed out that any work on the gravel topped car park would need to be approved by English Heritage as the car park was protected by ancient monument restrictions.
New plans for the car park, which is located just metres from the hospital's entrance, were drawn up by the Dowager's team and submitted to Cotswold District Council's planning team last month.
The application states that the areas outlined for parking are of low archaeological interest and that new parking spaces have been outlined to replace areas that could not be included in the last application.
It also says that all of the new parking areas have less excavation of existing ground levels so as to avoid the need for supervision by Cotswold Archaeology.

Jef Otte vs. Stupid Pigeon poll: Who will emerge the victor?
Update 2! The bicycle vs. pigeon vs. moped race results are in. "Victory is partially mine! How I defeated a pigeon but not a chicken on a moped (video)."
Update! In the last hour, I've been informed to two grievous attempts to put me at a disadvantage: 1). MCA Denver tells me the race will now end on their roof, three floors up, where the pigeons are kept, forcing me to run up stairs -- an obstacle I hadn't counted on. 2.) Erin Roberts in a Chicken Suit is racing on a moped -- meaning this race is now MAN VERSUS BIRD VERSUS BIRD-MACHINE. The race starts in ten minutes. Stay tuned, and remember: A vote for me is a vote for humanity!
As of this morning, I have eaten at least twelve steaks as part of my training regimen for defeating a pigeon in one of the most epic races mankind has ever witnessed. That's right: Today, I'm going to race a pigeon on a goddamn bicycle. Since I'm guessing the pigeon has eaten at most maybe two steaks, I fully expect to deliver a crushing blow to said pigeon and, by extension, all Columbiformes everywhere -- but in addition to being ripped and incredibly handsome, I'm also magnanimous, so I'm letting readers weigh in. Will the winner be me? The stupid pigeon? Or a mystery racer to be revealed?
And when I say "to be revealed," I mean "to be revealed right now." That third racer is Erin Roberts, executive assistant in the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver's Department of Fabrications, which has been working with Westword to coordinate the race. (Just for background's sake, the pigeons are a part of the MCA's Thinking About Flying exhibit, opening today, which allows visitors to check out a pigeon, take it home and then release it, whereupon it is alleged that the bird will return to its roost on the top of MCA. I have my doubts.) In a surprise twist that upped the ante for the pigeon but in no way for me, Roberts threw her hat in the ring and promises to race in a chicken suit, thereby splitting the difference between human and bird or something. Clearly, Roberts is unaware that my winning policy includes smiting of the loser even unto the seventh generation -- but, whatever; it's her loss.

I really don't see any other possible outcome.
But that's just me. What do you think?
Multiple voting is both allowed and encouraged, as I personally plan to spend most of today eating steaks and voting for myself. And then partying. See you there!

Penguins notebook: Inconsistent play baffles Malkin
At least Evgeni Malkin might have a higher power on his side when the Penguins play the Islanders in Game 5.
Malkin was the last man off the ice in Game 4. Following a skirmish in the game's final seconds, one of the Islanders ripped Malkin's good luck chain and crucifix off his neck.
Cameras caught a concerned Malkin looking for them on the ice for a couple of minutes after the game.
While departing Consol Energy Center on Wednesday following a team meeting, Malkin was asked if he found what he was looking for.
"Oh yeah," he said with a relieved look.
He then opened his right hand to reveal the chain and crucifix, both of which he was carrying.
Malkin has endured something of a roller coaster during the series.
The former Conn Smythe winner has been a points machine, producing eight through four games. He was the finest player on the ice during the first 30 minutes of Game 4.
However, Malkin also took an unnecessary penalty in the second period and committed the turnover that led to New York star John Tavares' winning goal.
Coach Dan Bylsma subtly suggested that the third period wasn't Malkin's best.
"The game-winning goal is a turnover situation," Bylsma said. "They created a chance. Clearly that's an execution mistake, a puck management mistake. In a lot of ways, in the third period, we weren't as aggressive as we needed to be. We backed off and gave them too many opportunities."
A day off
The Penguins had planned to practice Wednesday at Consol Energy Center.
However, less than two hours before the scheduled practice, the team told local media the practice had been canceled.
Five players — Sidney Crosby, Paul Martin, Jarome Iginla, Pascal Dupuis and Chris Kunitz — were made available to the media, along with Bylsma.
Still working
A number of Penguins who haven't been playing in the postseason took part in drills Wednesday.
Among them were right wings Beau Bennett and Tyler Kennedy, both of whom could see playing time in this series should Bylsma look to add speed against the Islanders.
Game 6 start time to be decided Thursday
Saturday's Game 6 at Nassau Coliseum will take place at 4:30 or 7 p.m., according to the Islanders' website.
If the Senators-Canadiens series ends in Game 5 on Thursday, the Islanders and Penguins will play at 7 p.m Saturday. If not, the game will be at 4:30 p.m. The Senators lead the series against the Canadiens, 3-1.

Music Mobile™
The Music Mobile™, an award-winning children's music education program, was originally designed and implemented in 1974. It offers an opportunity for third-graders, throughout Los Angeles County, to learn about the instruments of a symphony orchestra through hands-on experience.
This program, presented by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Affiliates, supporters of the Los Angeles Philharmonic for 85 years, has reached over a half a million elementary grade students. It has inspired many youngsters to pursue a career in music and has sparked a life-long interest in music. Mini-vans stocked with instruments, CDs and visual aids travel to schools and volunteers present an introduction to the LA Phil, classical music, the instruments of the orchestra, and the instrumental families in a 45 minute presentation.
For the last several years, a similar program has been established at the Hollywood Bowl. Students enjoy a field trip to the Bowl, are given guided tours and then are treated to a Music Mobile presentation.
For more information on this program, please call 213-972-0753.

PARENTS of disabled adults using care centres in Evesham and Pershore say a delay to the decision on where the services will take place is a good thing.
The group, who have been challenging proposals by Worcestershire County Council to move day care centres in Evesham and Pershore, were expecting to find out where their children would be located on Wednesday, February 12.
But the decision on the Future Lives consultation, which looks at buildings only and was due to be made by councillor Sheila Blagg, cabinet member for adult social care, was postponed until March 6 to allow further considerations to be taken into account.
Tony Horner, of Lower Moor, near Pershore, whose son Michael, aged 44, attends the Evesham centre, said: "Part of me says I am quite pleased because I want them to get the decision right. I don't want them to jump in without them making the correct decision.
"Once they have made the decision they can't take it back. They can put the decision back as much as they want."
Judy Hall, whose son Matthew, aged 41, uses the care centre in Pershore, said she hoped the delay would give her the chance to get a response to unanswered questions.
"I think it is good because one of the things that's concern me is the consultation has been very vague. That there is no information. But maybe now they will get together the facts and figures.
"We have asked questions and they have not really been answered. With our children, who are severely disabled you cannot have a consultation just about buildings.
"You need to know what is going in the homes as well."
As part of the Future Lives consultation a proposal was put forward that would see the care centre in Evesham, currently located in Davies Road, moved to a building currently used as a garage by the library in Oat Street.
In Pershore the centre would transfer from Station Road to Three Springs Road, and some of the more severely disabled adults in the Vale would also be cared for there.
Cllr Blagg said: "We have listened to all of the many responses received during the consultation and one of the major concerns raised was the fast pace of change so we are asking cabinet to agree to extend this period.
"When we went to consultation, we didn't know that we would be collecting a surplus of £2million worth of council tax payments from district councils and we are asking cabinet if this money can be used to ease the transition for these prevention, early help and other support services.
"We would use this extended period to hold further discussions with partners and providers about what funding they might be able to contribute and how we can get the most out of the investment in the longer term.
"We also felt it was important for cabinet to make the final decision in public."

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
As a strong advocate of the performative arts community in Oakland, this situation is very sad. Oakland is celebrated for it's thriving and unapologetic artistic scene, yet, we are very limited in our accessibility to good venues & spaces that will allow us to have our crafts supported. I wish all the energies behind this beautiful venue are able to get the doors open soon so we can make use of this great venue.

I have an idea ( that of course won't fly because it would mean the entire Copyright laws would have to be changed to accommodate this. and all the rules and regs and legalize understood by everyone, etc.. . but let me have my fantasy . Humor me. This is what I'd like to see.
What IF fees to the P.R.O's were not paid by Venues any longer? What if there was a set "fee" and that set fee was actually paid by musicians who gig, or who hope to gig, or gig time to time. (or ANYONE who wanted a Gig Card? ) The fee would be VERY affordable $30 per year let's say ( thats' only 6 beers) ) .. Now, BEFORE you tar and feather me for suggesting us poor musicians have to pay this fee, , hear me out. I'm a long time gigging musician (24 years for 5-6 nights a week and 22 yrs a part-timer gigger 4-8 times a month. and still going strong).
I want more venues to be open to live music. Most owners want music but they don't' want to pay P R O .fees. What IF musicians paid an annual fee to P.R.O s instead of venue owners . And, ONLY card -carrying Musicians could play venues. That way the owners don't have to pay that fee . Theoretically more venues would be open to trying on" some live music at their place, and also not having to worry if Cover tunes were being played or not.
A musician (or whoever wants to buy a card) would buy their Fed approved card, be assigned a number. Every musician who was performing in live venues would have to show their current P R O cards to Venue owners.
This Annual "P. R. O'" card would sell for $30 a year. It would be purchased via a company .. (well .. no, I guess it would have to be issued through a FEDERAL agency if Copyright laws will be staying under Federal law) So ok.. lets see ok so there will be a special "ENTERTAINMENT" licensing Dept at every FEDERAL bldg in each town., People apply for their fist card there and then every year they can then re-up on line.
The Fed 's Entertainment Department then divvies up of that $30 pmt: ($9 goes to ASCAP , $9 to BMI and $9 to SESAC. , The Fed's take their share of $3 per card issued or renewed each year. (Feds make $$$$$ on this and USE IT TO create a special dept of MUSIC EDUCATION in THAT CITY! ( I'M REALLY REALLY DREAMING HERE, HUH?)
IF, lets say 900,000 cards are issued each year (remember.. ANYONE CAN BUY ONE OF THESE CARDS.. young or old , giggers or "wanna be's" ANYONE can buy one. Musicians will want to have one that is always CURRENT , JUST in case they get a gig. (Many non musicians WILL buy one too, simply because they may get around to taking those guitar lessons someday etc. OR just because it's cool and it's great to feel they are a "Musician". (sorry but we all know a million people would love to be considered a "musician" ).
And the card is only $30!
So using 1,000,000 cards a year are issued around the USA.. Multiply that by $27.. = $27,000,000
Divided up to the three P. R. O's . They each make $9, 000,000 . a year.
And that NINE MILLION goes to songwriters (and in my fantasy of course these PRO's are all very easy to understand how they get that $ to the writer and how it' really DOES reach every writer of songs being played out there)
Also EACH PRO has, like the FED's Entertaiment Dept, .some special program or two of their own to make sure Music Programs are out there for everyone around the US.
This Fantasy was brought to you by Suzanne Shea Reed…. a 65 yr old long time Gigger./Cover -Singing Guitar Player/ sometimes Songwriter, from San Diego
We are all missing The BIG PICTURE here. They are eliminating the very core of the music industry and doing it on assumption which means you are guilty whether you played a copyrighted song or not, That is nothing less than NAZI TACTICS. This is definitely a BLUE MEANNIE MOVE IN PEPPERLAND. Every artist that is famous now learned their trade from somebody else's music. Copied somebody else's style, whether it was a vocal line, lead guitar lick, bass, or drum lick. And that was usually done by hearing someone else do that song in some dive bar or open event not just the radio. And also by performing that song to a live audience they were given a chance to succeed and excel, to learn the trade as it were to become the Tom Petty's, Garth Brooks, Tina Turner's Madonna's Beyonce's, and Ray Charles that they became. What about talent shows? The Voice only operates on copy music when doing not only their live show but the auditions. Does every performer have to come to their audition with an original song? What about all of the county fairs that have talent shows for every day people just trying to have one moment on stage.
Farmer Markets and local Dive Bars, and Open Mic's are the only venues left open to unsigned and possibly never will be dedicated, emotional, passionate, talented musicians who may not be able to write a song. It is also a meeting place for people to enjoy them selves without having to go to an Arena or large venue that costs an arm and a leg. What happens next? Do they knock on your front door while you are all standing around the piano singing Beatle songs and say PAY UP. It'snot just music that is being effected by this. It's just the beginning of everything we hold dear in our society. All of our basic freedoms are being controlled or taken away by MAJOR CORPORATIONS with the money going to people that have no soul and don't care. What BMI and ASCAP are saying is that THEY ONLY PROTECT THE SUPER STARS. They are not protecting my Original Music that I have put on albums because my songs don't sell millions of copies and I am a Member. Is this the day THE MUSIC DIED.WE MUST FIGHT THIS INJUSTICE. WE'VE LOST TOO MUCH ALREADY.

Most bands at farmer's markets are country, country and western, folk, and/or bluegrass........the simple solution is to have them perform songs that are in the public domain......there are thousands and thousands of songs in these categories that are fee free!! It took me less than 30 seconds to find a list of 2000...and the list of sites was endless.....I had a music store in the cradle of Bluegrass music...Franklin Co., VA......let me assure you that no one is going to ask for royalties on "The Little Rosewood Casket"...or "When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again" A little tongue in cheek there....but, seriously....go public domain.
What's up with NPR? Damn, two national NPR contest winning artist right here in Oaktown - check out Glynn Washington at Snap Judgement. Seems we continue to have the center of the universe for stepping up with fresh artistry - and it seems NPR is growing new and much needed wings.
Really looking forward to this record!
As a performing artist are venues including house concerts exempt from paying royalties if I only use non copyrighted and unlicensed songs?
I never receive royalties from BMI ... Why should I do any action to help them?
So discouraging that this new, creative, hipster version of corporate domination and greed looks just like every other dickish and dictatorial corporate manifestation of power-hungry facelessness. Behind that colorful and friendly facade are squads of young MBA hitmen acting just like their grandfathers' generation. Robber barons in fedoras and Hawaiian shirts are still robber barons, just more insidious.
Wow...this article is an excellent write up that beautifully weaves together a David-v-Goliath tale that is chock full of stuff like business details, talented luminaries, possible corporate heavy handedness, introgue, and a desire to share art via an emerging platform and how that might possibly be quashed. Really fun read!

| It would help me health wise to have the food labels say if they contain Gluten. There are so many hidden ways of stating that, that I will get the wrong product and get sick. Very important to have the correct information on the food labels for consumers.
