Published: November 10, 2010 at 12:22 PMIt's a good idea, however, the part that I'd have a hard time with is the fact that they want the normal parades/fireworks to be shown during the times they're not doing the parties. Honestly, I feel that that detracts from the overall holiday feeling. Who wants to see RDCT in December, when I can see it in the spring, and off-party nights in the fall?
Disney is making a lot of money as-is. I think it would be great if they charge for the Halloween events, but leave Christmas open. That's CHRISTMAS. The biggest holiday in America. I wouldn't pay for the Holiday events at Disney if it came to that.

Published: November 10, 2010 at 12:42 PMAs an AP holder for several years, I've watch the prices go up each year and now you want to take away more... That's not fair! Unlike most AP holders I live out of state but enjoy comeing every couple of months to enjoy the magic Disneyland has to offer. I can see the rational behind this but as Ap holder I bought an Halloween ticket and did not get a discount because of coming on the weekend, so do this for Christmas too would be a bigger expense. However if Disney does it and make the hard coupon event cheaper for ap's then I wouldn't comPlpain but as it stands now it's not so my family if five who has premium passes might as well not renew and just wait for the holidays to visit and be able to go at a cheaper rate and invest the money for the cost of an ap at another venue or multiple venues for cheaper rates. Then if alot of ap people feel the same then would Disneyland loose more money than they would make? Why can they not include 1 hard ticket night for each event at no added cost for ap holder and limit the Amount of ap holders who can attend or adjust there block out dates? There are other options just need to get more people opinions and have a discussion open to the public first.
Published: November 11, 2010 at 6:18 AMOk now for the east coast. Our Mickeys VEry Merry Christmas Party has always been a hard ticket event.
Published: November 11, 2010 at 4:52 PMI'm a little touchy about the way Annual Passholders are portrayed in the online theme park blogging community. I currently am not an Annual Passholder, but I have been one for many years in the past, and certainly intend to purchase an annual pass again in the future.
Most of the articles I read talk about the Annual Passholders "overwhelming" the park - descending en masse, like locusts. The articles always mention that annual passholders, usually locals, don't spend as much per visit as foreign tourists, and that they are obnoxious, and act with a sense of entitlement.
1) Nobody twisted Disney's corporate arm and forced them to sell annual passes. They offer the opportunity and we purchase it. That's also supply and demand. They can't have it both ways. They love us when we renew our pass but then complain when we USE the pass.
2) Some of the most ardent and committed fans are the annual passholders. We may not spend as much per visit as a family on vacation, but we do come back again and again.
3) What I resent is the characterization that annual passholders are greedy and act entitled. There are always some people in any group who will give the entire group a bad name, but the vast majority of annual passholders are supporters of the Mouse who have put their money where their mouths are, who come back again and again, and have chosen to make the Disney Parks an important part of their family and lives.
I understand the the huge annual passholder base poses logistics problems, but I wish the theme park blogging community would stop treating them like irritating second-class citizens and appreciate that they too are park guests that deserve to be treated with respect and consideration.
Ultimately, I think the hard ticket events are worthwhile in terms of value and make sense. Further, the idea isn't going to go away. This is one Genie that isn't going back in the bottle. Offering a discount to annual passholders would go along way towards placating them.
I'd love to see the blogging community act with a little more insight and stop treating annual passholders as subhumans.
Published: November 11, 2010 at 8:55 PMA bit off topic but, I have a question to any SoCal AP holders out there. About how many days do you guys visit the parks in a year?
Published: November 11, 2010 at 10:02 PMAs an AP, I kinda support this. It is getting ridiculously hard to enjoy the holiday offerings with the crowds the way they are. On the other hand, as libertarian/captitalist as I am, I've always made Disneyland an exception and see it as a place that should be rather egalitarian. Walt wanted a place where parents and children could have fun together, and one could extend that reasoning to all adults and children having fun together, not a place where the rich get special treatment. That's why I hate the idea of pay-for-front-of-the-line access. Still, I know I'd pay good money to enjoy those Christmas festivities I love so much with half the crowds.
Published: November 12, 2010 at 10:04 AMYour right. I to hold AP to all the major theme parks in Fl. However I see lots of AP holders who feel that gives them certain shall we say rights over everyone else. And when you purchase your AP you are made well aware that restrictions apply. But I agree with you 100%. I also wish they would do away with fast passes...The hosts and hostess tend to let the fast pass holders run rampete. And those of us who have waitted have to wait even longer. The average cycle time is a new groupe every ten minutes. So you do the math.
Published: November 12, 2010 at 12:41 PMHaving been to both hard-ticket events in the Magic Kingdom (MVMCP in 2005, MNSSHP last Oct.) I think it's a wait-and see approach. (I haven't been to Disneyland.) But I think it would be great because it alleviates the crowds a bit and it deserves something special for Christmas.

Characters with albinopecia show both hair loss and colorless skin. It may seem odd, but this is one of the earliest skinematic examples, dating back to the silent film age. To the right, view actor Max Schreck, in the 1921 Dracula ripoff "Nosferatu." The pale scalp was not scary enough, so they cleverly added serious hangnails to the mix.
|Another silent movie from 1923 is "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." It features this friendly fellow, the Pale Rider, with albinopecia and wrinkles. In the days without sound, it seems piling on skin conditions helped add suspense.
|Why has this combo been so irresistible to filmmakers? One reason could certainly be the tired adage that copying is the sincerest form of flattery. "Nosferatu" is considered by many to represent the seminal horror flick. Though Schreck's performance was later overshadowed by Bela Legosi as Dracula in the early 1930's, tributes to "Nosferatu" account for at least some of the repeated uses of albinopecia. One true remake was released in the 1970's. "Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht" was made by German director Werner Herzog. In this version, the use of color film accentuates the vampire's paleness. Note the rat-like teeth, also lifted from the silent version. Certainly a shoo-in for the Dentistry in the Cinema web site, though Hollytooth.com doesn't have a very good ring to it...
|Even the finest masters of horror could not resist using a Nosferatoid bloodsucker. Writer Steven King ("Carrie") and director Tobe Hooper ("The Texas Chain Saw Massacre") joined forces to make the TV movie "Salem's Lot." Clearly, this vampire rises directly from the albinopecia gene pool. Note the billiard ball pate.
|The diagnosis in confirmed by recognizing the fair skin and deadly shredding incisors. Though the creepy infrared contact lenses add a new twist...
In 1997, "Dark City" was released. Look familiar?
This sci-fi psychological thriller features an entire race of creatures with albinopecia. They are always shrouded in darkness. Certainly cheaper than investing in sunscreen.

This has been the only cream that's worked on my 3 year old sons eczema as an alternative to constantly slathering him in steroids. It keeps his eczema at bay but when it does flare up I just rub it in 5 times a day until it's gone down again. It's well worth a try. Smells like marzipan too!!!

Excellent surgeon and caring person
I highly recommend Dr. Thompson and his staff. My only warning is -- start your physical therapy as soon as possible and schedule the appt yourself -- it will help you a lot in the short and long run.

Great Doctor!!!
I was at the Scripps Urgent Care with horrible pain in my hand from a burn. They immediately sent me down to see Dr. Thompson and Dr, Redfield. They immediately admitted me to the hospital and Dr. Thompson performed surgery that evening. It turned out I had a serious staph infection and I was required to stay in the hospital for several days on IV antibiotics.It was a very scary situation, but Dr. Thompson (and Dr. Redfield) took great care of me. They come highly recommended.

Pinkey Finger Shattered in 7 places
Quite simply, Dr. Thompson is a first class surgeon and medical professional. I shattered my pinky finger in 7 places from a mountain biking accident. He skillfully placed 7 external (removable) pins in my finger. I am happy to say, 6 months later I have 95% mobility and strength of my finger with NO METAL IMPLANTS!What sets Dr. Thompson apart is his personality in the clinic. He reviewed all options for my finger including grafting bone from another part of my body and a plate. His recommendation was the least invasive and best chance for success - pins. He managed to re-arrange my mangled finger and pin it with expert precision, the X-Rays tell the story. Throughout surgery and follow up Dr. Thompson was always kind, patient, and LISTENED. I would highly recommend Dr. Thompson to ANYONE who has a hand condition, he is a true genius in that OR. I owe my finger to him.

Dr. Thompson and team are great!
We switched our health insurance this year from Sharp to Scripps & I'm so glad we did! I broke my leg and was referred to Dr. Thompson. He saw me immediately and booked me for surgery the following day. He and his staff are top notch and very professional, yet caring and concerned. I really could not have asked for a better group of people to take care of me. Anytime a potential issue arises, they are on it, before it becomes full blown. Yes, the office wait time for an appt. can be somewhat long (I've waited from 5 minutes to 50 minutes), but I know it's because they are caring for another emergency case, just like mine was, so I don't mind the wait. Thank you, Dr. Thompson and your "team"!

Dr. Michael Thompson
Dr. Thompson was the Orthopedic surgeon on call at the Green Hospital in La Jolla, CA. when husband came in with extreme pain following a fall. An MRI was done and it was a broken hip. Dr. Thompson was wonderful. He explained everything to us and answered all of our questions before and after the emergency surgery. We both felt so comfortable with the decision to have him do the surgery. His caring, thorough, and informative manner really helped us through this difficult situation. My husband remarked at how Dr. Thompson was so different from most of the doctors we have come across. He seemed unrushed and willing to truly talk to us, despite the fact that we were in a very busy ER-type setting and I know he had many more patients. A remarkable doctor. We were very lucky he was on call that day!

Waited a VERY long time and was given several excuses as to why. What should have been a quick appointment ended up taking nearly 2 hours. I am now 9 days post appt still waiting for the office to call me back to schedule physical therapy that I'm beginning to wonder if I need after some further testing. I liked Dr. Thompson a great deal. His bedside manner is top notch and he's very personable. I'm disappointed in the rest of my experience.

Majesty of the Seas - Bahamas: Majesty of the Seas Cruise Review by mwcstudent
Overall Member Rating
Majesty of the Seas - Bahamas
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Miami
The two of us flew in to Ft. Lauderdale instead of Miami because it was less expensive. I purchased transfers from the airport to the Miami Port through Royal Caribbean for 50.00 per person round trip. The Royal Caribbean representative was easy to spot at the airport and we only had a short wait before boarding the bus to the ship. The bus was clean and comfortable. However, if you are traveling with a group of 4 or more it is more economical to get transportation on you own.
We arrived at the port and were in our cabin within 30 minutes. We purchased an inside cabin and it was very very small but you don't spend much time in your cabin anyway. It was clean and the new bedding is wonderful. I slept better than I have in ages. There was a hair dryer, soap, and shampoo provided for you. Also, there are beach towels in your room for More your use so you don't need to pack your own.
The lunch buffet was ready when we arrived on the ship. The food was just o.k. We drink a lot of soda so we purchased the soda card and for us it was well worth the money. We ate at Johnny Rockets one night and it was worth the 3.95 cover charge. They accepted our soda card there so we didn't have to pay extra for our beverages.
We played Bingo several times at 20.00 per game. We also saw the impressionist who did a very good job. My son chose not to participate in the kids club but I saw others who were participating and seemed to be having a great time. I also heard other parents say that their kids never wanted to leave when they went to pick them up.
When we got to Nassau we took a taxi to Cable Beach for 5.00 per person. The water was crystal clear and beautiful but the beach its self was a little on the dirty side. On our return trip to the ship we found that we could take the local bus for only 1.00 per person. A lot of the shops closed at 6 pm.
The next stop was Coco Cay, Royal Caribbean's private island. We signed up for the snorkeling excursion. Be aware that all your paying for is the use of their equipment. They don't guide you at all. You have to swim out to the snorkeling area and you are totally on your own. We didn't sign up for anymore excursions on the ship and found that we could do things on our own for a lot less money.
We had to go through immigration in Key West and that delayed us getting off the ship for several hours. For us that was o.k because it was raining anyway. When you get off the ship in Key West you will find people who rent jet skis and offer parasailing for about half the price the cruise line charges. We walked (and walked and walked) to the butterfly conservatory. It was neat to see all the butterflies flying around you but it wasn't what I expected. You can walk through the whole thing in a matter of minutes. The sunset in Key West is awesome, not to be missed.
The only negative thing I have to say about the ship is that not all of the elevators were working and you always had to wait to get on one. Other then waiting for the elevators the ship never seemed overcrowded. In fact there were times that we were the only ones sitting on certain decks.
We both enjoyed ourselves and were sad to leave. The disembarking process was very smooth. We would travel with Royal Caribbean again. Less

This Week in Books 10/25/12
Random Penguin? Penguin House? People have long speculated that there would be consolidation in the publishing industry, and now Pearson has confirmed that they are talking consolidation. It will be very interesting to see whether this comes to pass and how it plays out.
Penguin, meanwhile, has been suing authors over non-delivery of manuscripts.
There have been a few articles lately about how the publishingpocalypse has not exactly come to pass, no matter what breathless doomsday predictions you may have heard in the past few years. In The Atlantic, Peter Osnos writes that the industry is adapting well to the e-reader era, and Mike Shatzkin writes that Amazon's publishing wing is not yet a threat to publishers.
Cynthia Leitich Smith has a great post on how authors can prepare for public speaking.
Editor Cheryl Klein writes about how you get a job in publishing.
Book Riot has a great take on Gillian Flynn and Gone Girl, one of my favorite books of the year, writing about how genre fiction sometimes doesn't get the same social commentary cred as more "serious" literary fiction.
Butterfly in the sky, Reading Rainbow is back! This time in app form.
You've probably already read this, tweeted it and had a flame war, but there was quite the controversy a few months back about sockpuppet Amazon reviews and the authors who have used them.
And, of course, rejection bingo! (via The Millions)
Now being discussed in the discussion forums, which you should totally join, which TV shows are you watching?, agents and self-published e-books, where have all the review bloggers gone?, discussing the Casual Vacancy, how many characters do you have?, and prep for NaNoWriMo 2012!
And finally, for all you cooking fans out there, one of my friends has started a really cool site, Cook Smarts, devoted to recipes and learning new techniques in the kitchen. I highly, highly recommend her newsletter, which delivers some awesome recipes straight to your inbox every week.
And finally, finally, Apple released another big player in the e-reader world with the iPad Mini. Here's CNET's first look at the new game-changer (disclosure: CNET is where I work):
Have a great weekend!

I totally forgot it was Friday until I saw this post. "This Week in Books...wait, it's not Fri--oh, it is!"
Good for Book Riot. This has often been a rant of mine. I love genre fiction because I feel that its use of alternate worlds (whether they're ours with a tweak or completely different) provides a great opportunity for social commentary. When the world is different, the things that remain the same make a bigger impact, especially the social issues!

Re Penguin suing authors: The authors were paid advances and didn't deliver the books. Wouldn't it be better if the books were written before pitching them to the editor and being paid on them?

Links! Awesome!
Although, the best part was this:
"You've probably already read this, tweeted it and had a flame war"
Ha, ha! Classic. :)
So, it's I think it's just plain mean for Penguin to be suing authors years after Penguin let the projects drop. Because they did let these projects drop. Editors left, etc. It's not unusual for publishers to write off small advances like this, and why should the authors in this case think any differently?
Penguin is being a big bully.
Now, the authors have to pony up interest, legal fees, etc. (Obviously Penguin is doing this to get the money back, otherwise, they'd just go through the agent and work with the client to finish the book). If Penguin lost interest in the project, they should have asked for the money at deadline.
Makes me mad.
Maybe I'll go start a flame war. ;)
Thanks for the links, Nathan - Glad you're settling into New York!

Publishers aren't running a charity. If they have signed contracts with writers that are not delivering products, it makes sense for them to take action.
Of course, putting on my business hat, this really hurts relationships. Now, if the author had already provided good product in the past, I can see the publisher waiting a little bit longer. But if this is the first work by a writer, then I can see the publisher launching a missile in the writer's direction.
Why do folks fail to see that publishing is a business? This boggles my mind.

Office U.S. Military Telegraph
War Department
Washington, D.C. April 11 1864
Major General Butler, Fort Monroe, VA
Mrs. L. is so unwell that I now think we will not make the contemplated trip this week. Will notify you in time. Will probably get a boat
here, but will accept yours if necessary. Thanks for your kind interest in the case.
A. Lincoln
Historical analysis
This analysis makes use of a heuristic for historical thinking know as SCIM-C developed by David Hicks, Peter Doolittle and Tom Ewing. For more about this historical thinking heuristic please see [ttp://www.historicalinquiry.com http://www.historicalinquiry.com]
Summary of the telegram
President Lincoln's telegram is in response to Major General Benjamin Butler's telegram [1] asking the president if he should send a boat to pick up Lincoln for a potential visit to Fort Monroe, Virginia. Lincoln politely declines the invitation for the boat and the visit due to Mary Todd Lincoln's recent illness. Lincoln apparently still wants to make a visit to Major General Butler.
Context for this telegram
During March of 1864, General Ulysses S. Grant was given the position of Lieutenant General of the Union Army. Having been given the power by the president, [2] Grant changed the way the Union looked at battle, prisoners of war, and discipline for U.S. troops. [3] Major General Butler was not known for his military skills.[4] The only reason he was not relieved from his military service before early 1865 was because of his political clout. Although his military skills were lacking and his career was raked with corruption, his influence in the political arena was necessary for Lincoln's re-election.[5] Therefore, Butler was necessary for use in the military.[6] General Grant's refocus of military strategy had no room for Major General Butler's mistakes and corruption, yet Grant was required to maintain Butler in service until after the election. After Lincoln's re-election in 1864, Butler was no longer seen as a necessary part of the Union military offensive. H e was relieved of duty in early 1864.
Inferences about the telegram
A few inferences can be made based on the context and content of President Lincoln's telegram. We know Lincoln wanted to visit General Butler. T hough the purpose of his visit is not clear, we can infer, based on the context of the telegram, that Lincoln wanted to go to Fort Monroe for one of two reasons. The first reason would be to discuss political strategy. [7] The re-election of Lincoln was critical to the war effort. Butler was Lincoln's first choice for vice president nomination.[8] Though Butler refused, we know Lincoln trusted this general's political expertise, although it is not clear if he approved of Butler's military strategy.
The second reason Lincoln could have wanted to visit Butler was to chastise the rogue general. While Butler was in command of the Army of the James, he miscalculated several offensives and left Grant alone to face General Lee in the fall of 1864. [9] Butler was unchecked as one of the senior members of the military and Grant's attention held elsewhere. Lincoln could have been attempting to suppress a thorn in his side, only to realize the advantages of Butler's political connections.

Alec Baldwin is often savagely attacking conservatives on The Huffington Post, so it's surprising when he lauds a leftist instead. On Sunday, he promoted a new documentary on communist lawyer William Kunstler called William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe, produced and directed by Kunstler's daughters. Baldwin blurbed:
The film covers the life and career of the colorful, at times outrageous, and, often, highly effective attorney. Kunstler's career as a lawyer and activist spanned the civil rights movement in the early 60's, the legendary Chicago Eight case in 1968 (and beyond), the massacre at Attica and its aftermath and the American Indian Movement protests at Wounded Knee in 1973...I encourage everyone to rush to see this movie and discover/rediscover the life and career of the brilliant William Kunstler.
Back in the 1990s, I dug up old articles on Kunstler in the archives of the conservative newspaper Human Events, and what I found were the statements of a violence-endorsing Marxist. From our MediaWatch newsletter:
In 1970, the newspaper Human Events noted Kunstler told students: "You must learn to fight in the streets, learn to revolt, learn to shoot guns...You may ultimately have to take that final step. You may ultimately be bathed in blood." In 1971, he declared: "We have to bring an end to the economic system in this country," adding about the legal system that "any criminal trial in this country is an oppression." In 1976, Kunstler said "Although I couldn't pull the trigger myself, I don't disagree with murder sometimes, especially political assassinations." In 1979, Kunstler told the Village Voice Joan Baez should not have criticized the communist government of Vietnam since he "would never join in a public denunciation of a socialist country."
Baldwin did not declare on the Huff-Post, as the documentary's website claims, that he was "host" for the Kunstler film at the Hamptons Film Festival. He claimed Kunstler's daughters show him in an "honest, critical light." Although I haven't seen the film, they're promoting it as a heroic narrative: "Help us spread Bill's inspiring story of standing up for justice, fighting racism, and having the courage to make unpopular choices in the service of social change."
Supporters listed on their website include the actor and former TV talk show host Charles Grodin and the Susan Sarandon Charitable Foundation. They also list as a financial supporter the federally funded Independent Television Service, and their website features not only their logo, but the logos of PBS, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and PBS's documentary series POV.
When Kunstler died in 1995, network anchors portrayed this communist as a civil libertarian. On the September 5 Today, NBC anchor Matt Lauer announced: "Controversial attorney William Kunstler is being remembered today as a champion of the underdog and a defender of the Constitution." Reporter Pete Williams added: "He once explained his choice of unpopular clients by saying he wanted to keep the government from becoming too powerful." On the same day, Peter Jennings noted in his ABC Radio commentary that Kunstler "was respected for his belief in justice and his commitment to the rights of the defendant...Kunstler always represented the underdog, pitting the individual against the government, he said, keeping the state from becoming all-powerful." Jennings noted "what makes his life an important one" is "his belief in justice, because of his commitment to the constitutional right to a defense."

13 Ways of Staying Fit When There's No Time to Exercise
Medical Author: Melissa

While looking at an article by a leading fitness guru, I
was struck by her emphasis on making exercise
a priority and finding a way to fit in your gym time
at any cost. Although she's right in principle, those of us who are balancing multiple
Even if you're lucky enough to be able to set aside time to work out, things like school holidays, childhood illnesses, and workday crises have a way of eating up these extra hours along with our best intentions.
You may not have time to go to the gym, but you can still be physically active and boost your metabolism by using a bit of creativity in planning your day. During a recent week when my kids were sidelined by a nasty cold, I started thinking about ways to be physically active when going to the gym was out of the question. I also asked some personal trainers for their advice. We came up with the following ways to fit exercise into a packed-full day:

Oh yes, premieres are my favourite news posts here on MovieHotties and I'm pretty thrilled to be back and showing you guys who looked hot and who didn't. I start off again with a very special premiere for what is being called a very special film. "The Lovely Bones" which hits theatres this weekend is one of Peter Jackson's most anticipated releases cause lets face it, the book is amazing (Yes, I'm a man and I've read it...shut up!). Jackson does have a reputation for pushing the limit so we'll have to see how he does come Friday.
My main focus at the moment however are the stunningly hot ladies who attended the official premiere of the flick last night which included the beautiful Rachel Weisz, nerd-fantasy Olivia Munn and many others. I have to say that the movie's leading lady, Saoirse Ronan is a very beautiful girl and I think we'll be seeing a lot more of her in the future. So check out the amazing red carpet photos below and as I tell you in every single post I make....enjoy!
The hottie photos below are in the following order: Rachel Weisz, Olivia Munn, Susan Sarandon and Saoirse Ronan.

Excellence in Teaching
James AckerThe Award for Excellence in Teaching recognizes faculty members for their skill, innovation, and dedication to teaching and academic advising.
James Acker brings his hands-on law background to the School of Criminal Justice. An attorney with the Durham, N.C., practice of Loflin, Loflin & Acker from 1976 to 1980, Acker has spent the last 20 years lecturing, teaching, and administering in the Universitys Department of Criminal Justice.
Known for his innovative teaching approach, Acker served as interim dean of the School of Criminal Justice for two years and led the school during a difficult transition period. He served as coordinator of the schools undergraduate program for many years and was considered its conscience and best spokesperson. But although he has worn many hats over the years, his strength has been as a superior teacher. He is consistently rated as outstanding in student evaluations and earned the schools first Best Teacher Award by acclamation. Praised for his work with a continuing extracurricular study group called the Capital Punishment Research Initiative, Acker also created a new undergraduate offering this semester called Introduction to Law and Criminal Justice.
A scholar of repute with a very impressive publication record, Acker has written or co-written five books, as well as more than 50 book chapters or articles. He is currently or has been a member of the American Society of Criminology, the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences, and the Law and Society Association. Acker has received 15 research and conference grants, and he has garnered numerous awards from faculty and peers over the years, including the Faculty Award for Excellence in Graduate Student Development and the Library Advocate Award.
Acker continues to be a member of the Board of Editors of the Albany Law Review: State Constitutional Commentary. He served on the Editorial Advisory Board of the Criminal Law Bulletin for nine years and was co-editor-in-chief of that same publication from 1996 to 2002. In recommending Acker for the Excellence in Teaching Award, Professor Hans Toch called him an inspiring teacher. Jim brings to the classroom the discipline of his law background, tempered with an encyclopedic understanding of social science-related issues, Toch wrote. Our students, therefore, receive a unique blend of legal thinking and the social scientific approach to addressing problems of the criminal justice system Jims inspiration and contributions as a teacher and a scholar are bound to be fondly recalled, and will be emulated by many of our graduates.

It took less than 16 minutes for Romney lose his cool and interrupt the moderator. Romney followed up by contradicting his own running mate's claim that Romney is going to cut taxes 20% across the board for all income earners. Obama brought Romney back to reality by telling him that his tax plan doesn't add up. Obama touted cutting taxes 18 times, and cutting taxes for the 98%.

Adam Sadilek has done some pretty ground breaking research around social data including tracking food poisoning with social data. When he was a Ph.D. student at the University of Rochester, he led a team that found a correlation between geotagged Tweets about foodborne illnesses that closely aligned with restaurants with poor scores from the health department. Adam is now a researcher at Google, and you can follow him on Twitter at @Sadilek.
1. Where did your interest in identifying health trends on Twitter come from?
First, it was studying how Twitter can predict flu outbreaks and then looking at identifying food poisoning outbreaks too.
We were interested in how much can we learn about our environment by sifting through the vast amounts of day-to-day chatter online. It turns out that machine learning can identify strong signals that can be used to make predictions about individuals as well as venues they visit. For example, in our GermTracker.org project, we predicted how likely is a Twitter user is to become sick based on how many symptomatic people he or she met recently. We leveraged geotags within the Tweets to estimate people's encounters. In the nEmesis project, our model identified Twitter users who got sick after eating at a restaurant, which enabled us to rank food establishments by cleanliness.
2. Your machine learning can help assign scores to restaurants based on the chances of food poisoning that matches the Health Department based on Twitter data. Is there anyway to make Nemesis data public or as an add-on to services such as Yelp?
There certainly is — Henry Kaut'z group at the University of Rochester is working on an extending GermTracker to capture foodborne illness in real time as well.
3. What are the benefits and disadvantages of using social data over more traditional research on health patterns?
Online social media is very noisy, but significantly more timely. Many months pass between inspections of a typical restaurant. If they get a delivery of spoiled chicken a day after an A+ inspection, it will make their patrons sick anyway. Systems like nEmesis, on the other hand, can detect there is something going on very quickly. The flip side is that it's hard to be certain on the basis of 140 characters. Therefore, we advocate for a hybrid approach, where inspectors use nEmesis to make better informed decisions. We can replace the current basically random inspections with a more adaptive workflow to detect dangerous venues faster.
4. What else do you think Twitter can tell us about public health?
We did a number of studies, focusing on multiple aspects of our health that can be informed by data mining online social media. Beyond flu and food poisoning, we looked at exposure to air pollution, mental health, commuting behavior, and other lifestyle habits. You can take a look at our publications at http://www.cs.rochester.

Harvest news – Week 1 done and dusted
The first week of harvest is behind us and what a busy week it has been. Susan and her team have been working around the clock and is very excited about the results of the first week's harvest. It is a treat to walk into the cellar and experience the daily hustle and bustle of everyone working at their fastes pace. The cellar smells wonderful and the aromas of the grapes fill your senses when you take a walk through the different processes going. I can't help but smile when I'm in the cellar as no one is really looking up from what they are doing and you can see everyone is really focused. I'm always popping in for some news and feedback and I think a good sign is that Susan is always smiling and looking very calm and composed:)
The grapes are looking magnificent and we can expect great results.
More than 90 tons of grapes were harvested and we started off with mostly white cultivars.
15.4 tons of Chenin Blanc

Subject: RE: "DODD'S"
Date: Tue, 25 May 2004 07:30:53 -0700
Was just wondering if someone out there could help me out.....
Per something that was written to my 2nd cousin from her aunt, she said about a "WEEKS" being married to a Justice Dodd, but did not put down her name.
I was told that one of my "WEEKS" family married the Justice of
the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, Edmund Murray Dodd, d, July 24,1876 at
age 80 years. They were married a very short time [ 2 or 3 years] before she
died, and he then re married to a Caroline Marie ???, b, Sept. 21, 1809;
d, May 13, 1900.
I have found in a web site of the " St. George's Anglican Church Cemetery", in
Sydney,N.S. plots for Justice Dodd as well as his 2nd wife. In there is
also plots for sons of the Justice Dodd, a Edmund Murray Dodd, died - March
12,1862, age 27 years; a Capt. Don Dodd, died - May 11, 1883, age 44 years;
as well as a daughter, Susan Helen [ Dodd ] Pooley, died Dec. 29, 1871, age
32 years..... I take it that these are all from his second wife.
What I am after is the name and family of the "WEEKS" family that his
first wife was from..... Where I have run into trouble is that there were 5
or 6 "Joshua Wingate Weeks" and my Great grandmother, a Henrietta Helen
Weeks, b.. May 6,1851, in North West Arm, Cape Breton Co.; died on May 6,1917, in Vancouver, B.C. Have as her father, a Joshua Wingate Weeks, who was
the 'High Sheriff' in Sydney when Henrietta married John Philip Gruchy. I
have found that Joshua was born in St.John's Nfld, but have not been able to
prove it, nor who his father is as well.
Trying to find out how Justice Dodd ties into this part of the family ....
I know that it has to be out there, but it is just finding the right spot
to look.
I had gone into Google and typed in Rev. Joshua Wingate Weeks + Nova
Scotia and did find a list and got into a page that got me into a web site
that gave me some info with a good size tree, only after getting into this
page two times when I tried the third time I could not get into the site.
I am hoping that there is someone on the list that can help me out.
With THANKS

A Guide to the Bank of the State of Mississippi Records, 1804-1846
Biographical Note
The Bank of Mississippi was created by an act of the territorial legislature on December 25, 1809, with its headquarters at Natchez and its charter to run through 1834. After Mississippi was admitted to the union in December 1817, the new state legislature passed an act changing the bank's name to the Bank of the State of Mississippi and extending its charter to December 31, 1840. By this legislation, branches were authorized at Port Gibson and Woodville, and no other banks could be incorporated during the life of the charter. However, in 1830, a financial crisis, precipitated in part by the state's debt to the bank, caused the governmet to ignore its pledge, and the Planters' Bank was chartered. Unable to recover, the Bank of the State of Mississippi was authorized to wind down its business and by 1834 it was largely defunct.
Scope and Contents
Correspondence, accounting and transactional financial records, stockholder records, powers of attorney, letters of credit, personnel records, resolutions, minutes, legal case records, deeds, and memoranda document the operation of the Bank of the State of Mississippi from its establishment to its close. The economic history of Mississippi from its territorial years through early statehood is reflected, as well as the financial affairs of the citizenry. Among the legal records are materials related to the estate of Winthrop Sargent, first territorial governor and one of the bank's founders. Other prominent persons in the bank's operation represented in the papers are Samuel Postlethwait and Stephen Duncan, two of the bank's presidents, and Gabriel Tichenor, cashier. Also documented are the bank's dealings with out-of-state banks, particularly in New Orleans.

Expectations that
Deutsche Bank analyst Paul Young said the uncertain global economic environment and the company's focus on capital discipline could result in a decision to push back approvals of the Olympic Dam expansion and the construction of an outer harbour at Port Hedland and the Jansen potash mine in Canada.
All three are due to be put to the board for approval by the end of this year, but Mr Young thinks the company may not be in "project approval mode" again until the second half of 2013.

BHP has already largely committed to huge capital spending programs this year and next year as a result of 22 projects in construction but beyond that it has plenty of flexibility. The board is set to review its latest five-year spending before the release of its annual results in August. As it ponders whether to invest in the mining mega-projects, BHP has stepped up spending in its petroleum division after spending $US20 billion on shale gas assets in the US last year.
BHP made the purchases just before a severe plunge in the US gas price, and as a result Mr Young thinks the company will need to take a $US4 billion write-down on the dry gas Fayetteville assets it purchased last year alongside its annual results in August.
But he believes the value of BHP's assets in liquids-rich shale basins has appreciated since the purchase as a result of further drilling and a strong oil price. On his numbers, BHP's acreage in the Eagle Ford alone has a net present value of $US18 billion, making it more valuable than all three of the mining mega-projects.
He estimates the internal rate of return from production in that region is 87.9 per cent, versus the sub-15 per cent returns of Olympic Dam, the outer harbour and Jansen.

A drug dealer's "tragic choice of words" to Aleksander Vojneski as he desperately searched for ice were a catalyst for him stabbing his partner to death in her Macgregor home, prosecutors say.
The jury are currently hearing closing submissions in the murder trial of Vojneski, 31, following five weeks of evidence in the ACT Supreme Court.
Vojneski is accused of stabbing his partner, mother of three Paula Conlon, to death on the night of March 27, 2012.
But barrister Jack Pappas told the jury late on Thursday that the circumstantial case against his client was "full of holes", and that police chased the easy target after forming a theory within 12 hours of the killing.
"Some policeman's theory is not enough for you to convict someone of murder," he said.
The pair's six month relationship had been marked by instability and violence in the lead up to Ms Conlon's death, the Crown say.
Vojneski was an ice user with an alleged history of violence and knife use.
On the night of the murder, he had been at Ms Conlon's home drinking and allegedly looking for drugs on credit, because he had no money.
Ms Conlon, on the other hand, was trying to wean Vojneski off ice, believing she was pregnant.
She had sent a message to Vojneski's brother the week prior, after he congratulated her on the news.
"Thanks. Bit scary hey? I told Alex he needs to stop ice before baby arrives or he'll lose us both," she wrote.
Ms Conlon had also spent the last of her money on clothes, which arrived the morning of the murder.
Crown prosecutor Shane Drumgold said Vojneski was in a state of "increasing desperation" when he called one drug dealer at 8.47pm.
The drug dealer said Vojneski had asked if he could "'tick some stuff, some gear".
"I said 'look mate, give me an hour and I'll see how I go,'" the drug dealer told him, despite having no intention of answering further calls.
That, Mr Drumgold said, was a tragic choice of words.
"Why? Because we say it gave the accused hope," he said.
"It was the gradual crushing of this hope that provided the ingredients of this tragic night."
Vojneski, frustrated by unanswered texts and calls, began "scraping the bottom of his contact barrel", the Crown say.
Not long after, Mr Drumgold said Ms Conlon was murdered by Vojneski at 10.10pm.
A teenage boarder staying at Ms Conlon's house heard arguing, the words "no, no, no", and a loud scream.
Ms Conlon's body was found the next day, as was the receipt for her clothes, which had been torn up in the sink.
Mr Drumgold also outlined the forensic case against Vojneski, the strange lack of contact he had with Ms Conlon the next day, his behaviour immediately before and after his arrest, and the absence of any alternative theories about Ms Conlon's murder.
He also pointed to the "extensive interactions" Vojneski had with his mother Julie Vojneski and brother Vladimir Vojneski on the day after the killing.
But Mr Pappas said police had a "blinkered commitment to a theory hatched in 12 hours" during their investigation of Ms Conlon's killing.
He said DNA tests of the clothes Vojneski was found in after the murder were not done, despite a belief he had changed from what he was wearing after the alleged crime.
Mr Pappas criticised the Crown's "scattergun approach" to Vojneski's supposed motive, and said police had stopped investigating an acceleration mark found on the road outside Ms Conlon's home when they realised Vojneski didn't drive.
He warned the jury that Vojneski had the presumption of innocence, and that it was not enough for them to merely be suspicious that he might have killed Ms Conlon.
Mr Pappas also urged them to analyse the evidence, and not look at the case through the lens of prejudice or emotion.
His closing submission will continue on Friday before Justice John Burns.

Whitesboro, Tex., May 8th, '86.
Resolutions in memory of Bro. J. P. Bryant:
Whereas, Death has invaded the gates of Bethlehem Alliance, No. 952, Grayson county, Texas, and taken from our midst our aged and much beloved brother, J. P. Bryant. He died of inflammatory rheumatism after an illness of three days. He, as a member of the Missionary Baptist Church of Christ, labored as a minister of the Gospel with patience and long suffering, in support of the cause of his Master. As a neighbor, he was quiet, meek and exerted a lovely influence. As a husband he was endeared to his family. As a member of the Farmers' Alliance, he was consistent and lively. But now he has gone to reap the reward of his labors. It pains us to note his absence, but we humbly bow in submission to Him who doeth all things well. We count our loss his eternal gain. To his beloved family and relatives, we sympathize with you in your bereavement; so lean upon the mighty arm of Him who is able to comfort, and are long you will strike glad hands with him in eternal felicity.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to his beloved family, and also a copy sent to the Sherman Courier and Whitesboro News for publication; and our hall be draped in mourning; and we wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.

Optics is a field of sciences that focuses on the pursuit of understanding basic properties of light, the interaction of light with materials, the development of technology for generating and controlling the properties of light, and the engineering of these technologies for manipulating light applicable for systems implementation. The optical light covers the electromagnetic radiation from X-ray, deep ultraviolet, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, and terahertz spectral regimes. Optical sciences is one of the earliest and most important areas of study in physical sciences. The successful understanding of wave optics within the Maxwell's electromagnetism theory has resulted in the development of physical optics [
Advances in optics encompass both experimental and theoretical findings in basic sciences, technology, and engineering of light. The advances in both disruptive and progressive technologies in optics have enabled the development of new technologies which have transformed our life and addressed significant challenges in society. The journal
New optical imaging and optical coherence tomography methods in biomedical optics [
Developments in semiconductor epitaxy, materials, and new device concepts based on compound semiconductors, specifically III-V and III-Nitride, have revolutionized the progress in telecommunication lasers and solid state lighting technologies [
Research in the physics of semiconductors and nanostructures has enabled further progressive improvements of these devices which have resulted in practical technologies currently being implemented in our daily life. As an example, advances in material synthesis and epitaxy have resulted in the ability to analyze materials composition to atomic precision levels, resulting in the ability to modify and control the optical and optoelectronic properties in a transformational manner. Nanostructure engineering of the active regions has been implemented to achieve high efficiency LEDs and low threshold lasers. New quantum confined structures based on quantum cascade lasers have also been realized, and these works have resulted in progress towards achieving lasers emitting in the mid-IR up to terahertz spectral ranges. Tremendous potential exists in new materials, device concepts, and applications in semiconductor photonics and optoelectronics which are currently being created in new directions impacting energy, healthcare, communications, water purifications, and environments.
Advances in nanofabrication technology have resulted in the ability to form sub-wavelength structures for controlling the propagation of light waves in media. One of the most successful examples in the field of nanophotonics is related to the development of photonic crystal technologies [
Advancements in the ability to form high quality quantum dot active media [
Plasmonics technologies and metamaterials have been among the most active research topics in the fields of optical sciences and engineering [
One of the mainstays of optical sciences and engineering has been the devices and systems developed for fulfilling the requirements of optical communications [
The progress in computing power has escalated the importance of computational photonics, computational nanostructures, and physics and simulation of materials and optoelectronic devices [
Low cost silicon based photonics, graphene photonics, and flexible electronics/optoelectronics materials and devices [
The idea of splitting water via of the use of catalyst by using solar radiation to produce hydrogen fuel has been suggested and pursued for sometimes [

Kate Warwick-Smith
Director of Studies of the Order of the Hermetic Rose
Kate Warwick-Smith , is an third degree adept of the Western Mystery tradition. For over 20 years she has been affiliated with the Servants of the Light School of Occult Science where she has led groups, taught classes and supervised students.
The phrase "Western Mystery Tradition" was created by MacGregor Mathers, one of the founders of the HOGD, in response to the popularity of the Theosophical Society and the teachings of Helene Blavatsky who brought her knowledge of Eastern metaphysics, magical systems, and meditation practices to the West. In coining the term, "Western Mystery Tradition," Mathers sought to establish and make clear that the West had its own valid magical and mystical tradition. Following Mathers' lead others have sought to define the Western Mysteries.
Defining the Mysteries
Christine Hartley, seer and student of Dion Fortune continued Mathers' campaign reiterating in her book The Western Mysteries that spiritual seekers from the West need not go to the Eastern traditions to fulfill their spiritual needs. She argued that the ancient traditions of the British Isles possessed a rich deposit for mining spiritual sustenance. Another student of Dion Fortune, W.E. Butler founder of the Servants of the Light described the Western Tradition as emerging from the "cradles" of Sumeria, Chaldea, Egypt and Greece but also including the Old Religion of Europe.
More recently John and Caitlin Matthews in Walkers Between the Worlds (formerly The Western Way) expanded upon Butler's definition conceptualizing the Western Mystery Tradition as having two paths one that is based on European native traditions and is shamanic, intuitive, earth conscious, and goddess-oriented. The other path they describe as Hermetic coming from Egypt and Mesopotamia. This path embraces the pursuit of knowledge, oneness with godhead, and philosophical super consciousness.
Stephan Hoeller, a modern Gnostic describes the Western Mysteries more loosely as "the alternative spiritual tradition." Others have explained the Western Mysteries as the spiritual reflection of the mainstream exoteric tradition, namely Christianity.
Academic, Antoine Faivre (Access to Western Spirituality), takes a different approach. After considering the many streams that make up the Western Mysteries, he arrives at four characteristics that identify a stream as a "Western Spirituality," or in the terms we are using a tradition. (His categories are especially interesting when considering the tarot. But, that topic is for another article!)
A Historical Perspective
From a historical perspective we can say that the path of the Western Mysteries has followed the spread of Western culture. This elusive creature encompasses a continuous stream of philosophy, myth, ritual, and magical and mystical practices that are described in the writing, art, and architecture of cultures spanning a time period of 7,000 years or more, and a geographical area that can be loosely described as stretching from Mesopotamia to Ireland and more recently to the western shores of the United States. It has been influenced by the ancient cultures of Babylonia, Chaldea, Canaan, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Europe and North America. And, one cannot ignore Eastern influences from, for example, Arabic alchemy and Hindu philosophy.
One of the qualities of the Western Mysteries is its ability to take in, integrate and adapt to a changing world and the demands of a particular era. For this reason it is indeed a challenging and complex topic. Here are three maps that give you a bird's eye view of the making of the Western Tradition. Given the breadth of cultures and span of time, the following discussion serves only as an outline but should be sufficient for any of you who wish to take a closer look in a particular area.
The Western Mysteries Map 1: Major Influences up to c. 1400 CE
Below is a map that shows the place of origin of the predominant streams that have contributed to the Western Mysteries before 1400 CE. The number at the source point of the arrow indicates the place of origin of the tradition. Numbers not tied to an arrow indicate a major center for a tradition. The movement towards the central vessel indicates the movement towards syncretism. Syncretism is a word used to describe a process where different religions and/or philosophies attempt to merge. The spread of the Roman empire encouraged this process as did the later policies of the Catholic church in the assimilation of the pagan population.
The vessel in the center of the map represents the spirit of the Western Mystery Tradition as a whole. The vessel can be likened to Cerridwen's cauldron, the magician's chalice, and the Holy Grail of the Arthurian mysteries. It represents a cyclical regenerative process that takes in and gives forth anew.
The Western Mysteries Map 2: Influences after c.1400 CE
Map 2 looks at influences after 1400 CE. Most of these are social developments that have affected the modern character of the Western Mysteries.
The Western Mysteries Map 3: Emerging Streams after c. 1400 CE
This map shows streams of the Western Mystery Tradition that have emerged since 1400 CE. These can be seen as a result of the previous 1400 years or so of development. Perhaps the last time the Western Mysteries experienced the pouring forth of new traditions was during the very fertile Alexandrian period (c. 323 BCE – c. 31 BCE). The image on this map is the chalice of the Western Mysteries ushering forth rather than taking in as in the previous two maps.
The Western Mystery Tradition has a long and varied history. But, it was during the Middle Ages and Renaissance that it seems to have synthesized into a recognizable body of knowledge drawing on common source materials that included alchemical, hermetic, kabbalistic and classical texts all of which shared a grounding in Neoplatonism. It was also during this time that the first tarot decks were also produced.Following the Renaissance, we see the emergence of new streams such as Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, Hermetic Kabbalah and eventually later traditions such as Wicca and depth psychology.
Many Paths But One Tradition
But what exactly is the essence of the Western Mystery Tradition? Perhaps an analogy might help. The Western Mystery Tradition might be likened to a labyrinth. The pathway is the Tradition; what is experienced by the seeker upon the path and at the center are the Mysteries. Over time there have been many variations of this labyrinth, many traditions expressing the Tradition. Each stream whether it be Rosicrucian, Christian or Hermetic has its own particular approach and each has its own validity and authenticity but flows from a common fount.
