text: I had a PET Scan performed yesterday. I have a nodule that was 7 mm in 2009 and now is 11 mm in 2011. The PET Scan said the SUV was 0.7. Since the nodule in 4 mm larger than 2 years ago they have recommended a biopsy and want me to see a Thorsaic Surgeon. This is never ending for me. 4 CT Scans later and a PET Scan and still cannot tell what the nodule is and I still need a biopsy. What is SUV 0.7? I am a former smoker. Thanks.

Mary X-Mas Rave feat. DJ Swamp - Buckeye Hills Regional Park - 12/25/2013
|DJ Swamp kicks up sparks on the ones and twos.
As ravers were huddling around each other to keep warm, some wrapped in blankets still dancing and others giving one another "light shows," DJ Swamp was tossing vinyl records, CD's and shirts into the crowd, magically turning records into top hats, wearing crazy LCD screen glasses, busting crazy scratches that sprayed sparks all over the decks and blasting fire out over the crowd with a flame thrower.
Flame on.
Yes, you read that right. He. Had. A. FLAMETHROWER. How many other DJs do you know that come correct with a flamethrower? Don't lie...you know the answer to that is zero.
Mary X-Mas is self-proclaimed as Arizona's longest running rave party, and while it may have had a humble turnout this year, if they always bring fun acts like DJ Swamp out then it's no wonder that it's gone on so long.

Great wallet to match my black KS bag. Beautiful leather. I do wonder if the golden Kate Spade log will not rub off with use. We shall see with time. The wallet feels a bit cramped once you put all your cards inside. Hard to get them in and out. Keeping it though as the price in right when you compare to roomier but pricier KS wallet.

First, I am new to Kate Spade. I was looking for a certain type of wallet and KS just happened to fit the bill (no pun intended). I love the wee bit smaller size for a wallet that can hold a checkbook as I am tired of the so large wallets all the time. However, wanting to keep my checkbook with everything else, it has been a challenge. I love the simplicity of this wallet, the great leather and the snap which snaps easily and every time with ease. It would be perfect if it said nothing (Sorry Kate) on it. I read a a review that was concerned about the letters rubbing off. I think mine are there to stay! I will use this wallet until it falls apart!
I'd also recommend: Coach, Ugg, D & B, Tiganello, Osgoode & Marley

Love this wallet! Soft leather, perfect number of slots for all your cards and 4 pockets for bills. So easy to get what you need fast. Very sleek! Definitely recommend!

Love this wallet! Size is perfect and the leather is so soft. Kate Spade did not disappoint with this one.

I just received my wallet, less than 24 hours since I ordered it on my husband's Zappos account, and I'm very excited. Previous wallets were too long, had clumsy zippers, or too small or fat. I specifically wanted just a wallet to fit in my little leather purse neatly and allow me to find bills, loyalty cards, credit cards, license, etc easily and at this moment, it looks like I have a winner. I considered brighter colors, but black is more practical. I selected this brand based on my requirements and material. The wallet looks a little neater with 10 cards, not 12 in it. Leather feels nice. Coin purse nice for a day's worth of coins. Perfect.

Oh, my - the puns that come to mind after changing the clocks last night (and this morning)!
It seems like only a short time ago I was writing about how the trees were beginning to change, and the Progressive Dinner for November was drawing near. Now the trees have dropped nearly all their leaves and the first Progressive Dinner is in the books as a success!
A Suprisingly Beautiful Foliage Season
As I look out my window, the colors are beginning to change. It has been happening slowly this year, but we've reached the time when each day brings another explosion of color in a new spot.
Ruth had a milestone birthday this year, so I surprised her with a party last weekend, and visits from family and friends.
Ruth's folks were the first to arrive - Friday night at 8pm. Ruthie knew nothing about it, of course, so when I finally had a moment to check the status of the flight, I realized they would be arriving early. I told Ruth I had to leave, and she couldn't ask why, and I hopped in the car and drove to the Portland airport (about 20 minutes). They were waiting, of course, and we had a nice reunion and visit in the car on the way home.
It is certainly one of the more intriguing aspects of living in an old house, like Brewster House, that you are confronted from time-to-time with bits of history.
Somehow it seems a bit strange to be thinking about fall foliage with summer rolling along in the middle of August, but we know from the reservation requests we've received that people are beginning to make plans for their fall leaf-peeping trips to New England and the Maine coast.

Miscarriage is so common among women, yet it's so heartbreaking. I have had 4 miscarriages in between of having my two beautiful children. I have mourned these other 4 unborn babies for a long time, and a part of me will never be whole again.

The government watchdog group Judicial Watch reported on June 27 that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has outlined a program that would allow the agency to track the financial records of 5 million Americans, using credit information in a variety of research projects. The program's guidelines suggest, "The panel shall include 5 million consumers, and joint borrowers, co-signers, and authorized users. The initial panel shall contain 10 years of historical data on a quarterly basis. [And contractors] shall provide a persistent consumer identifier making it possible to follow consumers over time." CFPB officials say the data will be used to "analyze industry trends, conduct research about household finances, and assess the impact of its proposed rules on consumers and industry."

I had such an interesting conversation with a friend the other day. We were discussing how we don't wear "outfits" anymore. Our conversation was sparked by another mutual friend who is always so put together – hair done, perfectly highlighted, nails manicured and always dressed in an "ensemble" of coordinating clothing pieces, shoes and jewelry.
*Sigh* So jealous. How does she do it? The devotion, time and miracle-working of this woman to look like this with four children under the age of six. I have ONE child and I'd seriously have to wake up at 4:30am to look that put together. Maybe it's just me. The vast majority of my "outfits" and "ensembles" have not been touched in months and months while I opt to wear the same things over and over again — jeans, tees, hoodies — my comfy gear.
|Most of these have not seen the light of day since C was born. I do miss them (*wipes small tear*) They just don't go well with lounge pants.
Don't get me wrong, I like to look good – I still won't leave the house without make-up, or without my hair neatly done. I would be horrified to have someone call Stacy and Clinton on me, (would NOT turn down the shopping spree though) so I always try to make sure I look presentable when going out or I'm going to be seeing other people. Still, it's not quite the same as the way I used to dress pre-baby or even while pregnant. Temporary? I hope so. Bad thing? Not necessarily.
I almost started comparing myself to that other mom and feeling like a slob, but I realized that I have to do what works for me. My job right now is being a mom, at home, with a one year old. I'm fortunate for that. The heels, outfits, highlights and jewelry (as much as I love them) aren't the right attire (or as budget friendly) for me in my current role.
And that's okay….for now.

Last weekend I took my two sons to see Disney on Ice: Toy Story 3. We don't let our kids watch too much TV, but they still love Buzz Lightyear and Woody. And who wouldn't – spacemen and talking cowboys? Awesome! But my leadership hat came on right after intermission when the heroines of the show, Barbie and the cowgirl started talking about love and wanting to be wanted by someone else. Here was Buzz flying through the air saving the universe and Woody taking a stand to stay by the child that loved him for 18 years, and the girl toys were only wanting to be held and loved. Barbie did save the day in the end, when she sexually allured Ken in her Barbie workout gear. What is this teaching our young children?
I am not a feminist, but what message did this tell all the young girls and boys in the audience? I was sad to see that these children were learning a harsh lesson: the media sees a woman's value and power in her sexuality and beauty – not in how wonderfully smart she is or what her capacity of leadership may be. I could not help but think which little girl out there will remember Disney on Ice for years to come as she tries to look just like Barbie, focusing more on her make-up and every calorie than one day being president or a CEO? And what about all the black children out there that saw all the cute blonde girls in sexy clothes? Not one Barbie skater had dark skin. How sad.
As a woman leader, even with a successful business and wonderful family, every morning I look in the mirror and scrutinize a wrinkle or dimple, so I am just as guilty. I once calculated that the amount of time I spent from 13 to 23 worrying about my weight and looks was about 2 hours a day, or 7,300 hours. Over 300 days of my life, nearly an entire year, which could have been studying science or learning a foreign language, were spent in front of the mirror or on a scale.
For 2012, my leadership pledge is to help 12 young women lead with their hearts and minds and feel empowered to take on a leadership position in the community. If you have not seen Miss Representation yet, it is well worth the 2 hours. While women have made great strides, we can't let up. Join me in making a pledge to help our future women leaders. Sign the Miss Representation pledge at http://missrepresentation.org/. Stay tuned for more, as She Leads is signing up to take the corporate pledge in 2012.

Candy Experiments
Science + Candy = Awesome!
- Discover new uses for your candy - all in the name of science!
- Great to do with someone else's candy (after you've eaten yours).
- 70 experiments away your sugary friends.
- Read more...
Science + Candy = Awesome!
Candy is more than a sugary snack. With candy, you can become a scientific detective. You can test candy for secret ingredients, peel the skin off candy corn, or float an "m" from M&M's. You can spread candy dyes into rainbows, or pour rainbow layers of colored water. You'll learn how to turn candy into crystals, sink marshmallows, float taffy, or send soda spouting skyward. You can even make your own lightning. And Candy Experiments is here to teach you how!
Candy Experiments contains 70 science experiments, 29 of which have never been previously published. Chapter themes include secret ingredients, blow it up, sink and float, squash it, and other fun experiments about color, density, and heat. The book is written for children between the ages of 7 and 10, but it's really perfect for any age (especially if you're taking candy from children between the ages of 7 and 10). Each experiment includes basic explanations of the relevant science, such as how cotton candy sucks up water because of capillary action, how Pixy Stix cool water because of an endothermic reaction, and how gummy worms grow enormous because of the water-entangling properties. And since most holidays involve candy, you'll never be without subjects for your Candy Experiments.

today i went to the brooklyn zine fest. when i first got there i was actually too overwhelmed and i had to leave and walk around williamsburg for a minute. i used to do things like this in college, with a group of friends that i don't really have anymore; in fact, i helped to organize a zine fair in college. but i didn't know anyone here, and the nostalgia was too heavy.
i went back in, though, and i traded my little zine away, and i met a girl who writes a zine that i own a copy of, that i've had for about 10 years. i like little reminders of how tiny the world is.

I think that this report was nice and it made alot of since to me and i think that it will help you if you wanna be in the new field as an occupation.
If news is driven only by the marketplace. We will have a poverty of ideas. The talented news reporters of history who broke the vitally important stories were not doing market surveys first.
I was an avid reader of science fiction when I was a kid and Bloomberg terminals scare me as much as anything else predicted by those writers. Is every bit of information going to be evaluated primarily on its potential to make money?
Isn't that how we ended up with poisoned toys and poisoned candy from China, they emulating our own "unsafe at any speed" culture too well?
Truth is too important to simply leave only in the hands of the mercantile!
I edited the interview and after double-checking am here to tell you, you heard an edit where there isn't one! That is what Brooke said in the moment, unchanged.
Thanks for listening carefully,
"I think so Seth." An almost un-noticable edit. Why did you need to insert that? The flow of the conversation was fine without it. Did it strike you as impolite, and you thought it would be rude if you didn't give me the impression that you could be more polite? Anyway, good program ovrall. Good program usually.

Finally…we have a majority of marketers using social media analytics!
Interesting impact of social media analytics.
The Few, The Fervent: Fans Of 'Supernatural' Redefine TV Success | NPR
(via unionmetrics)
A long and very geeky read but incredibly interesting and definitely written for the layman (i.e., us). We have always been intrigued by NLP and how bad it is at capturing sentiment accurately in social media's unstructured data. This article explains why and how to get to a working semantic web. Fascinating.
Truly fascinating stuff that could revolutionize social listening and sentiment measurement. It's about time we move away from NLP (Natural Language Processing).
It is now possible to identify the meaning of words with multiple meanings, without using their semantic context
Two Brazilian physicists have now devised a method to automatically elucidate the meaning of words with several senses, based solely on their patterns of connectivity with nearby…
(via productivegossip)
More great moves in the social media space by Salesforce.com. We like this integration of all social media features, CRM and analytics. It should be a powerful tool…
Interesting (and valuable) thoughts about improving social listening/conversation monitoring with a Listen + Learn + Interact combo recommendations.

Florida's Teacher's Lesson Plans for GED® Preparation
In 2002 and 2004, adult educators from around the state of Florida developed more than 200 lesson plans for use in GED® classrooms. The lessons cover all content areas and in some cases cross content areas.
All lessons have been reviewed and revised. Internet resources have been updated to ensure that valuable resources are still available to you.
To provide further assistance to you, the classroom instructor, correlation charts have been developed that link the lesson plans directly to the areas that are most challenging for test-takers. These correlation charts will point you to the lesson plans that will be valuable as you work with students who are preparing for the current test series.
Over the next months, leading up to 2014, more and more students will be enrolling in your programs hoping to earn a State of Florida High School Diploma before the next generation test begins. To meet the challenges of more students and the need for rapid remediation of skills, these lessons can provide you with a wide range of resources and one more component for your instructional toolkit.

Comment On This Article
The Khronos Group has publicly delivered the specification to OpenGL 2.1. OpenGL 2.1 specification has also been approved by the OpenGL Architecture Review Board. OpenGL 2.1 appends Pixel Buffer Objects for fast texture and pixel copies between frame buffer and buffer objects in GPU memory, texture images specified in standard sRGB color space for enhanced application color management flexibility, and numerous additions to increase the flexibility of shader programming including non-square matrix support, support for arrays as first-class objects, a fragment position query in shaders using Point Sprites, and an invariant attribute for variables to enhance shader code reliability. OpenGL 2.1 continues to be backward compatible with OpenGL programs written for previous versions. The press release (with link to 2.1 specification) can be found in the

T-shirts of the past--pt 3 Henry Rollins
"Won't sleep, won't shut up"...words to live by.
I bought it on a Washington High School Orchestra Trip to Kansas City. We used to do these crazy trips with High School choirs, bands, and orchestras, where we would travel, and play some music, and then get set loose on wherever we ended up. On this particular occasion, we decided to visit scenic Kansas city. I'm pretty sure DHP was there, but I definitely remember Michael Busha, and Dylan McCort (Rest In Peace). We were wandering around some mall, and I found this shirt in a Spencer gifts-type shop. I was astonished, as I had just discovered Henry Rollins spoken word stuff, thanks to the Minister of Intrigue, I believe.
If anyone could be said to have been in the right place at the right time, it's Henry Rollins.

To get a sense of The Greene Turtle's commitment to the neighborhood, one need only sit at the bar and look up. Dozens of mugs hang above the counter, emblazoned with the pub's logo and a unique number—each one belongs to a recurring patron. The Mug Club awards its members with draft-beer discounts and other specials, but more importantly, it allows loyal patrons to feel as though they own small slices of the venue without tattooing their names on the bartender's arm. This sense of shared familiarity is what fuels the entire franchise, which refrains from calling its locations "restaurants" in favor of friendlier terms: gathering places, communities, havens.
Many of the locations contribute more than mugs to their districts. Staff members who participate in the annual Tips for Tots program donate the entirety of one day's tips to a nearby Toys for Tots initiative, and Tuesday Funds for Friends events benefit local organizations. These efforts have been chronicled by press sources such as Food and Drink magazine, with features that liken The Greene Turtles' philanthropic generosity to the generous portions of comfort food that leave the kitchens.
From cheeseburger sliders and flatbread pizzas to handmade lump-crab cakes, the offerings on the menu embrace barroom traditions along with ingenuity. The steak and chicken entrees arrive with classic sides of green beans and yukon gold mashed potatoes, whereas the eastern shore mac 'n' cheese updates a comfort staple with chopped bacon, lump crab, scallions, and Old Bay seasoning. Diners can enjoy their meals by the glow of private flat-screen TVs—there's one in every booth—or beneath one of many larger televisions broadcasting sports games throughout the venue.
Considered to be the country's only public museum devoted to the history of global espionage, the International Spy Museum teems with multimedia displays, hands-on activities, and educational events. Filled with low-lit halls and mysterious doors, the museum backs up its exhibits with experience; many of its board members, staff, and speakers are former spies. Executive Director Peter Earnest, for one, spent more than 35 years in the CIA and its National Clandestine Service; frequent speaker Oleg Kalugin once held a position as major general of the KGB. Through special talks and an array of exhibits, the group reveals several hundred years of spy techniques and gadgetry, showcases connections between real spies and pop culture, and draws from international backgrounds to grant a global perspective.
In the Exquisitely Evil: 50 Years of Bond Villains exhibit, visitors explore the most memorable villains from throughout the James Bond film series, discovering the role the series played in shaping public perception of spying and exploring how the villains changed to reflect their times. Featuring over 110 movie and historic artifacts, a series galleries allows visitors to learn about the wide variety of evildoers from many perspectives. For an additional charge, guests can opt to embark on a simulated covert mission entirely based on real intelligence case files in Operation Spy, a one-hour interactive exhibit during which participants ride in simulated truck beds and use video surveillance to find leaked nuclear-trigger technology in a fictional country.
In lieu of buns, Duffy's Irish Restaurant & Pub's Monster Burger earns its name by piling bacon, grilled onions, and a half-pound burger between two grilled cheese sandwiches. The Washington Post profiled the beastly eat and its "calories-be-damned goodness" in its This Thing You Should Try series. Those with tamer appetites assemble less daunting burgers with a beef or homemade black bean patty served on a white or whole grain Kaiser roll. Along with burgers, Duffy's culinary team crafts casual dishes such as mushrooms fried in peanut oil, vegan pasta tossed with homemade tomato sauce, and seven wing varieties voted the city's best in 2012 by readers of Washington City Paper.
Along with the menu of daily grub, Duffy's staff supplies discounted drinks and quesadillas at weekday happy hours and hosts brain-teasing pub trivia challenges every Wednesday night. 12 flat-screen TVs throughout the bar stay tuned to the latest Florida Gators and Green Bay Packers games, a more thrilling alternative to watching looped footage of an actual gator attacking a defenseless cheese wheel. In addition to front of the house entertainment, Duffy's accommodates private soirees with a back room equipped with more flat-screens, skeeball, darts, and an internet jukebox.
"A synthetic turf-covered love letter to Washington." That's what Fritz Hahn of the Washington Post had to say about H Street Country Club after visiting the nearly 7,000-square-foot bar at the heart of the Atlas District. Yet Hahn wasn't talking about the eatery's decadent food; he was commenting on the space's devilishly tricky indoor golf course. During each nine-hole outing—for adults 21+—putters encounter the Lincoln Theatre, Ben's Chili Bowl, and the titanic grasping hands of a half-submerged Marion Barry. As if a trip to the links wasn't enough to work up an appetite, the entire first floor of H Street tempts gamers with skee-ball, shuffleboard, and wall-vs-human staring contests—all within an arm's reach of margaritas, mojitos, and other specialty drinks.
Upstairs, a glass panel filled with retired golf balls gazes out over artist and contributing decorator Lee T. Wheeler's talents, which alight upon everything from the sculptures crafted from repurposed birdhouses to the bar's cushy lounge seating. The design sets the stage for executive chef Pablo Cardoso's upscale take on classic Mexican food, with tables welcoming grilled skirt steak splayed over "cowboy" beans, a half chicken paired with yuca, and fajitas stuffed with still-sizzling shrimp. For dessert, the chef stuffs crisp empanadas with sweet mangoes, topping the confection with creamy ice cream and a note to get out of gym class for a week.
If a beer connoisseur tried a different beer every day, it would take more than 13 years to sample every beer that RFD Washington has served. Since 1957, Regional Food and Drink (RFD) has slaked thirst with more than 5,000 types of beer, totaling a staggering 25 million total glasses served—a figure that earned it a Guinness World Record, among many other awards.
The sister bar to the Brickskeller restaurant, RFD taps more than 30 beers at any given time, including a rotating selection of rare beers and handcrafted brews from breweries such as Gouden Carolus, La Chouffe, and Tröegs. It also carries more than 300 varieties of bottled beer, as well as premium liquors, single malts, and small-batch bourbons. The food menu has no choice but to revolve around beer, with dishes such as the 12-ounce strip steak in a stout marinade, and the brew burger, a half-pound Angus beef patty marinated in black lager and grilled on top of a keg.
Inside RFD, flat-screen TVs line the running boards and refrigerators line the walls, proudly showcasing the cache of microbrews and handcrafted ales. Flags and banners dangle from the rafters, signaling to families and beer aficionados that they may have finally met their malted matches.
The aestheticians at Skin Body Lounge, deemed Best Day Spa by the 2011 LA Hotlist, aim to even skin tones, mitigate blemishes, and evict unsightly fuzz with noninvasive skincare and hair-removal services. During full-face photo-rejuvenation, nonablative lasers emit concentrated light to target specific skin pigments—including dark spots left over from acne scarring or convincing dalmatian costumes—stimulating collagen and oxygen production to destroy unwanted bacteria and leave skin radiant. Pulsed-light hair removal, Epilar biochemical solutions, and waxing services strip wayward strands. Those looking to lose inches and smooth cellulite can enlist treatments such as detoxifying body wraps and electronic muscle stimulation. Results-oriented facials are customized to the unique needs of each visage, and microdermabrasion sloughs away dead cells to improve skin tone and texture. Airbrush tanning and makeup services get clients suited up for an evening out more effectively than wearing a cutout of the Hulk's face.

Joe McEwing joined the Mets on this date in 2000, while Luis Castillo got his walking papers 11 years later.
Fish Stripes All-Time Florida Marlins Team Second Baseman Announced
Fish Stripes All-Time Florida Marlins Team: Second Base. Is it Luis Castillo? Is it Dan Uggla? The question is up in the air, and it's up to the voters to decide.
Although it has looked pretty much inevitable for the past few weeks, Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr confirmed today that Chase Utley will indeed begin the year on the disabled list.
No complaints in recent memory have been as loud as those of Mets fans who have consistently urged management to release the likes of Jeff Francouer, Oliver Perez, and Luis Castillo. While the Flushing Faithful never got their wish during the tenure of Omar Minaya, Sandy Alderson and company ended the wide spread speculation by announcing that both Perez and Castillo would be released.
People want the Wilpons to stop defending themselves. I want to fly. Neither of these things will happen.
Morning Coffee: The SeeSaw Edition
Andy Martino is correct that race colors Mets fans' perceptions. Unfortunately, Luis Castillo is not the best example.
Mets GM Sandy Alderson has comments on the release of Luis Castillo.

Somehow, Luis Castillo inspires more Haterade than Oliver Perez. How did that happen, exactly?

Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis
St. Louis, MO 63108
- Sun 11am-4pm, Tue-Wed, Fri-Sat 10am-5pm, Thu 10am-8pm
Merchant's Description
As a non-collecting institution, CAM focuses its efforts on featuring local, national and international, well-known and newly established artists from diverse backgrounds, working in all types of media. We feature an ever-changing series of exhibitions in our Main Galleries and in The Front Room.
CAM was founded on the Mississippi riverfront in 1980 by a group of civic, cultural, and educational leaders to bring visual-arts programming and cultural activities into the downtown core. In 2003, CAM moved into a new permanent space in midtown St. Louis, an area known as the Grand Center Creative and Cultural District. In this location, the museum has served as a significant partner with other cultural organizations to revitalize and develop the area.
Our mission is to promote meaningful engagement with the most innovative and relevant art being made today. As St. Louis' preeminent forum for interpreting culture through contemporary visual art, we connect our visitors to the dynamic art and ideas of our times. As a gathering place for experiencing contemporary art and culture, we push the boundaries of innovation, creativity and expression.

If you run a contemporary art museum, you're bound to run into trouble sooner or later. On the one hand, you are running a museum, meaning you have to present formal shows of museum-caliber work. On the other hand, you're running a museum of contemporary art, meaning you want to bring your museumgoing public the freshest, most interesting art around. And therein lies the rub: A lot of the most interesting current themes in contemporary art may not be quite ready for museum prime time. So what's a contemporary art museum to do? Do you risk ossifying your galleries with the art of last century, or do you throw your lot in with the scruffy young turks? Well, if you're steering the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, you cook up a nimble little series like the Front Room. Conceived as a smaller, experimental space that stands in contrast to the museum's more formal galleries, the Front Room is intended to reflect subtler currents in the contemporary art world. Its shows last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, meaning curators can move quickly to capture mini-movements in the art world. Best of all, the series gives critical exposure to younger artists from out of town that we wouldn't otherwise get the chance to see.

My earliest memories of going to the movies are from the mid-1970s in East Lansing, Michigan. On the main drag was the Campus Theatre, a cavernous 1,500-seater with a ceiling that revealed a night sky when the lights were turned down. I can't be certain, but my first film there might have been The Return of the Pink Panther. At some point during those first minutes, as Inspector Clouseau battled his butler in a gripping slap-stick, martial-arts sequence, I got hooked.
My life has been filled with movies ever since: as a student in film classes, a clerk at a video store, a manager at an art-deco movie theater, and eventually as a film archivist – working to preserve the incredibly fragile, beautiful wealth of movies shot throughout the 20th century. The theaters we built in our towns to watch those movies are equally fragile and beautiful, and are an invaluable part of our cultural heritage. But we're fast losing them.
With the advent of home video, cable, and on-line streaming, and also the rise of the multiplex, theaters are being closed or demolished at a greater rate than ever. Pittsburgh hasn't been spared, and its list of closed or demolished theaters is tragically long: the Warner, the Arsenal, the Belmar, the Bijou, and even recently, the Squirrel Hill. And the list goes on and on. Sadly, yet another wave of industry change is squeezing out many of the remaining small cinemas. As companies such as Kodak greatly reduce their film production with every passing year, movie distributors have recently begun to embrace the inevitable shift to delivering movies on a format called DCP (Digital Cinema Package) rather than on film. The result is that movie theaters that haven't converted yet will need to purchase and install digital projectors. For small theaters the price tag for the conversion can run in the $75,000 range. Many won't be able to afford that cost and will shut their doors forever.
I'm sure many of you have fond memories of going to the movies when you were young, perhaps even at the Hollywood Theater. Dormont's little independent gem opened nearly 80 years ago and has somehow beat the odds thus far. Actually, the somehow is really the somewho. The theater is still open thanks to the hundreds and thousands of community members, volunteers, staff and patrons of the Hollywood who care about keeping it open. The theater needs you all now more than ever.
The Campus Theatre where I watched my first film was torn down in 1987 to make way for a Hudson's department store. The Hudson's is now long gone too. The question for movie lovers in Dormont and Pittsburgh is – will we come together to make sure the Hollywood Theater doesn't meet the same fate? I can answer that. We will. As its new Managing Director one of my first priorities is to install digital projection. It will take some effort, but we can do it. In the coming months I'll be writing more about that, as well as on the many interesting films and events we have coming up. And I look forward to getting to know many of you. See you at the Hollywood!
For information on the Hollywood Theater, please visit www.thehollywooddormont.org.

(one problem with perception of medieval gender roles is that most of the people who were writing, especially those who were writing HISTORY, were CLERGYMEN who had never been married and lived in a weird situation cut off from the way the rest of the world worked and had like no actual life experience with the real world - and then popular culture's idea of it has been heavily informed by VICTORIAN choices of who and what to translate and popularize)
upper class medieval women were expected to run and manage the entire estate that they got from their husband (or that they already had in their own right through inheritance or as their marriage portion), a job which was acknowledged as being way difficult and requiring a wife with strength and fortitude and business sense if you wanted to be a successful person
they were the HR managers of households that might have over a hundred people in, and tho a duchess or a queen would certainly not go to the store to do the household shopping, and she probably had a steward to assist her, it was ultimately her responsibility to know what things were needed for that household, to make sure that the appropriate people obtained those things, to oversee the use of the household materials, to make sure that EVERYTHING got done so that ALL those people could live and work smoothly. they wrote letters and managed the business of the estate and networked with other members of the nobility for both important game-of-thrones political reasons and for smaller more personal reasons like 'that guy has a really nice deer chase, so if i send him some marmalade from our garden, he might send some venison back as a return gift"
even in lower class households mom managed everything and women were basically considered to be shrewder and have better heads for that particularly kind of business than men and choosing a wise wife was the best thing you could do for yourself as a man who intended to be successful
they were like hands-on CEOs and shit yo and don't get me wrong society was sexist as fuck and they were limited as hell in what they could do and everything was classist beyond belief but no way was being a noblewoman just a matter of sitting up a tower looking pretty & the contributions that they made are so important
also, the ladies of castles were responsible for defense when their husband was away at war (which happened a lot), so while personally participating in battle was unusual (though not entirely unheard-of) they did often find themselves in strategic command. and in wartime they frequently functioned as a sort of de facto logistics officer.
oh, and has anyone mentioned diplomacy. because an arranged marriage is only the START of a princess's diplomatic career. the alliance she forges with her marriage is one she's responsible for maintaining her entire life. unless she decides to go ahead and take over the country; that's been an option too from time to time. :D
suddenly i really want to see a disney movie about a princess AFTER the wedding — forging a political bond with her new husband, defending the castle, sending troops and supplies to make sure he comes home from the war, reading secret reports from her spies in the enemy's court… *swoon*

The school's girls' program has felt it many times, with just one difference this time. The Bobcats got past the Northeast Regional a year ago, made it to Birmingham and know the fine feeling of playing in the Final 48.
Which had to make Woodland's 51-49 loss to No. 2 Section in Monday's regional semifinals hurt a little more. Once again, the Northeast Regional jumped up and reminded Woodland of why it struggles so in Jacksonville State University's Pete Mathews Coliseum.
"Winning a state championship is always our goal," Woodland coach Larry Strain said. "We just have to go back to work again.
"Sure, it's disappointing right now, but, you know, I've been disappointed before."
Dating back to 1999, Woodland has made the Northeast Regional nine times.
Only in 2002 and 2011 did the Bobcats make it past the semifinals, and only last year did Woodland win the regional.
In 1999, the Bobcats opened with an 81-54 loss to Fyffe.
In 2000, it was a 74-46 loss to Geraldine.
Other semifinal losses included 76-48 to Sand Rock in 2006, 68-57 to Ider in 2008, 72-69 to Section in 2009, 77-72 to Section in 2010 and Monday's loss to, yes, Section.
As a Class 1A team, Woodland beat Skyline in 2002 but lost to what was then a Spring Garden dynasty in the regional finals.
All of Woodland's other regional appearances came as a 2A team, and the Bobcats broke through a year ago. They survived North Sand Mountain, 66-62 in double overtime, then Ranburne, 63-56.
Woodland went on to finish as the 2A state runner-up and with one major bullet point. The Bobcats did it without Courtney Strain, the state's all-time leading scorer who had moved on to begin her college career at Auburn.
A year ago, Woodland showed it could be done and came one victory away from a state title.
Monday, Woodland led Section 30-25 at halftime, but then some of Woodland's realities bit.
There's the perennial lack of size, and Section used its size to block nine shots — six in the second half.
There's tough, hard-driving point guard Leah Strain, Courtney's little sister, who scored 29 points Monday, and not much else. At least, not in big games.
Cousin Shanna Strain tossed in 12 points, including two 3-pointers that helped Woodland rally late, but she and Leah Strain combined for 41 of Woodland's 49 points. The other three Woodland starters were a combined 1-for-10 with two points.
It raises the question of whether some of Leah Strain's teammates defer too much in big games.
"Leah took shots tonight that she normally doesn't have to take," said Larry Strain, Leah's and Courtney's dad. "… We really hadn't had that problem all year long.
"How do you handle it? How do you fix it? All I know is that our girls have to keep shooting."
Section coach Mary Danielle Maples knew all too well how much Woodland relies on Leah Strain to drive and either score or pass out for 3-point shots. The Lions came with a plan to make Leah Strain work as hard as possible to drive then take advantage on the other end.
"She works so hard on offense," Maples said, "that we thought she might have to rest a little on defense."
Section has shown time and again it has the team to do whatever it needs against Woodland, which raised the biggest perennial question that Woodland faces. It's the question that so often surfaces in the regional.
Do the Bobcats see enough top competition during the regular season?
They can't help their area, which includes No. 10 Ranburne but also Lineville and Randolph County. The latter two schools averaged 19.2 points in five combined games against Woodland this season.
The Bobcats won a game against Randolph County 79-9 and another against Lineville 62-15, but don't blame the schedule maker. Enrollment, geography and the AHSAA determine area alignments.
Larry Strain has tried to bulk up Woodland's non-area schedule in recent years. The Bobcats played No. 6 Mars Hill Bible, No. 7 Altamont and Lanett (receiving votes) this season. They also played in the Northwest Alabama Christmas Tournament.
"We realize we have to do that to help us when we get to this level, but let's face it and say this, too," Larry Strain said. "We had the toughest draw and bracket of any 2A girls' bracket.
"I think the team that comes out of this regional has got a chance to win it all."
Woodland had that chance a year ago, losing to a bigger, stronger Tanner team in the state final.
As for this season, it ends like so many others for Woodland — a great record (32-2), a nice ranking in the final poll (dated Feb. 9) and a loss in the Northeast Regional.

"the London Underground is the safest metro system in Europe" [campaign site]
"we have one of the safest metro systems in the world" [twitter]
BackBoris2012 campaign, 2012
"London Underground is the safest significant railway in Europe"
Transport for London, 2 August 2011
The 2012 London Mayoral campaign has been coloured by claims to do with the Underground network, and Full Fact has already explored the question of whether Ken Livingstone can deliver on his promised fares cut.
Earlier today the Boris Johnson campaign reiterated the much-cited claim that the London Underground system is the safest in the world, and the campaign site continues to claim it is the safest metro system in Europe.
So are Tube travellers really this safe?
As far as being the safest network in Europe is concerned, Boris Johnson's campaign team pointed us towards figures cited by Transport for London (TfL). The claim was made in a paper from the TfL Safety, Health and Environment Assurance Committee. It states early on:
"The chart on page 14 shows that UK national rail (not including LU [London Underground]) is the third safest in Europe, beaten only by Sweden and Luxembourg and over three times better than the European average.
The chart on page 15 shows that, measured on respective fatality rates (the same measure used for the chart on page 14), LU is approximately five times safer than UK national rail and that, therefore, LU is the safest significant railway in Europe and around 15 times safer than the European mainline rail average."
The charts in question are drawn from the Office for Rail Regulation (ORR) Health and Safety Report for 2010/11. These were compiled using data from TfL, the ORR, the Department for Transport and Eurostat.
To understand the references, here is the chart on page 14 of the report from Eurostat data, which indeed shows the UK is third in Europe for network safety in terms of fatalities per million train kilometers. Only accidents relating to trains in motion are included:
And here is the chart on page 15, which shows the fatality and injury rate of the London Underground compared to the UK Mainline. This chart demonstrates that, in terms of fatalities per billion journeys, the Mainline rate is around five times that of the Tube rate:
Deaths and injuries resulting from natural causes, trespassing, suicide and terrorism are ommitted from this chart.
However, there is a glaring difference between how the ORR and TfL report the figures. The ORR states that the first graph demonstrates that "we have one of the safest railways in Europe", which seems fair given the data presented.
But TfL describes the combination of the two graphs as proving that the London Underground is the "safest significant railway in Europe". This raises some concerns.
The data presented by the two graphs certainly shows the UK national network is the third safest in Europe by fatality rate, and that the Tube is safer on a similar (though not precisely equivalent) measure compared to the UK Mainline.
However it would be wrong to interpret from these graphs that the London Underground is the safest metro network in Europe. For one thing, TfL told Full Fact that Europe-wide comparable metro network data is difficult to get hold of.
So while the Tube may compare favourably to the UK Mainline, which in turn performs well on safety in a European context, it is possible that other metro systems may outperform their own national safety records by a larger margin. We cannot compare the safety records of European metro systems specifically from this data alone.
TfL explained that the lack of precise data justified their specific use of the term 'significant railway'. While the data does not prove the Underground is the safest metro system in Europe, they maintained that the Tube was large enough to be measured alongside national rail networks.
However, this does not resolve the significant number of caveats that must be attached when comparing the two charts.
Firstly, the top chart concerns fatalities for both the workforce and passengers whereas the lower chart concerns passengers alone – so any different patterns in the fatality rates for these groups could confound the comparison.
Secondly, the units of measurement are not equivalent – one measures fatalities by train kilometers travelled and the other by passenger journeys. The Rail Safety Standards Board (RSSB) say that this can have an effect on comparing the Tube to the Mainline:
"This may be due to different passenger profiles and the frequency and regularity of services (people tend to spend less time waiting for trains in tube stations and trains calling at a platform tend to serve the same, or a smaller set of, destinations)."
Thirdly, the two charts actually use a different definition of 'passenger'. The European Railway Agency defines it as someone who is on, boarding or alighting from a train. The UK's measure also includes people on platforms and certain members of the public.
After contacting the ORR, they confirmed to Full Fact that suicides were not included in either dataset – however they informed us that the two datasets were distinct and any attempt to compare the two directly would be problematic.
TfL nevertheless assured Full Fact however that the charts were comparable and that, provided the 'significant railway' term was acknowledged, they still indicated the London Underground was relatively safe compared to national rail networks.
One of the safest networks in the world?
An associated but different claim is that the Tube network is one of the safest in the world. Transport for London have claimed this as far back as 2007 and London Mayor Boris Johnson has himself used the claim on several occasions previous to his campaign's tweet this morning.
This claim can be traced back to a TripAdvisor poll from several years ago which asked 2,000 travellers their views on aspects of various transport systems including pricing, safety, cleanliness, and overall quality of service.
However, the usefulness of using a sample of travellers as opposed to comparable figures such as those provided by the Office for Rail Regulation is limited, so while the claim is not incorrect, it should not be overstated.
The claim from Boris Johnson's campaign that the UK has the 'safest metro system in Europe' is not supported by the data from the Office for Rail Regulation. The data does not provide comparable metro statistics and hence there is no evidence available to back up the claim.
TfL claim the Tube is the safest 'significant railway' in Europe. While the data certainly lends some evidence to indicate the Tube is a relatively safe network, the differences and caveats between the datasets make the conclusion that it is the safest such railway thoroughly unreliable.
Full Fact will be contacting Boris Johnson's campaign to correct their statement so that it better reflects the statistics.
