Gerlach, Castor, Request Another Look At Barnes Move
Congressman Jim Gerlach (pictured here), a long-time supporter of efforts to keep the Barnes Foundation's art collection in Lower Merion, has joined with Montgomery County Commissioner Bruce Castor in a new effort to reach that goal. They have sent a joint letter to Governor Tom Corbett's chief legal counsel, asking him to take another look at the use of state funding to pay for moving the collection to a new museum on the Ben Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia. Gerlach says the move is an improper use of tax dollars because it violates the will of Doctor Albert Barnes, who assembled the collection.
"To facilitate this move, even though it's against his wishes, we're now seeing the use of state taxpayer money for that purpose, and given the financial condition of the Commonwealth's government, as well as the moral problem of taking a guy's art collection and moving it ten miles down the road so you can take advantage of it in the City of Philadelphia, even though he didn't want that to happen, is wrong."
Gerlach says Doctor Barnes specified in his will that he wanted the art collection to stay at his school in Lower Merion, displayed exactly as he left it, and not be moved anywhere else.

South Padre Island is Texas' hottest fishing spot. Drop your line
from a boat, a pier or cast out into the surf. Tackle an 800-pound
Marlin or maybe a state-record Wahoo in the Gulf of Mexico.

Horseback Riding
Take a 1-1&Mac218;2 ride through the sand dunes, along the beach and
skim the Gulf of Mexico. The Island Equestrian Center has horses
that are appropriate for all riding levels. In fact, children and
first time riders are their specialty - they have horses specially
trained to accommodate them. One thing you should know is that their
ride is not a trail ride (they do not ride in a single file) - it's
much more! Their guides accompany the group to give basic
instruction to novice riders and to watch out for the safety of
everyone. All riders are given an opportunity to trot and lope the
horses. Each rider can make his/her own decision and that's
something that makes this experience very unique.

My original concept for the piece was to challenge a person's moral fiber when presented with a temptation—especially when no one is watching. I presented 316 dollar bills rolled and inserted into hardware mesh with nothing other than friction and a viewers' ability to resist temptation as the only force holding them in place. At its debut showing at the 2008 Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition (where 200,000 or so people would be passing by over the run of the Fair), I expected that such a number of bills would be taken so the word "HONESTY" would dissolve into illegibility–wouldn't take many missing to have this happen–and eventually ALL would be gone. But Minnesotans are hyper-honest! People, in fact, could not keep their hands off the money but not as expected. To my surprise, and financial good fortune, people inserted nearly $150.00 additional dollars into the piece! Although people messed with the letters somewhat, (especially adding to the "Y') they never removed or replaced any bills as I had placed them (bills were folded and inserted in a set pattern so I would notice any variation). I often wonder what would've happened if I'd used $5's or $20's–temptation may have not been so easy to resist! Anyway, people working there had a ball watching people "work on" this piece and I heard many funny stories. As an added bonus (and to show that nature imitates art in perverse ways), the economy headed deeply south about a month after that showing and the recession was on.
It turned out to be an unexpectedly interactive piece that got under people's psychological skin. I meet people in my studio now and then during the St. Paul Art Crawls who told me they'd added a dollar at that show. I ask them Why? and they don't know, they say it felt like the right thing to do. Quod erat demonstradum I should think.
"Honesty" was given the First Award by the 2008 Minnesota State Fair sculpture judge Olga Viso, Director of the Walker Art Center.
"Honesty" was featured in a review of the 2008 State Fair Show show my Mary Abbe in the Minneapolis StarTribune as well as number of local newspapers.
This piece has been shown at the Bloomington Center for the Arts Inez Greenburg Gallery, Commonweal Theater in Lasesboro, MN and at a Solo exhibition of my work at Normandale Community College where it was stolen.
The theft of "Honesty" triggered a story by Mary Abbe in the Dec. 17 2010 edition of the Minneapolis StarTribune. Her report inspired an in-depth story on KSTP.com,CityPages.com, a live telephone interview on WCCO radio and a slideshow commentary by KSTP TV that same Friday. The Strib story was picked up by UPI and Scripps news services and within 24 hours, spawned stories in numerous media outlets including CNN, NPR, PBS, New York Daily News and in many cities in the United States. Internationally, the Strib story was referenced in India,Turkey, Sweden, Croatia, Zimbabwe, the UK, Australia and other countries. Also countless "News of the Weird" blogs. I suspect the story has the ironic appeal of "Man Bites Dog"with an "Only in America" flavor.

Maintenance crews made quite the find last month in Eagle River while working to remove the old wing Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital.
Inside the original cornerstone of the building, workers discovered a metal box containing items and information from two eras- 1961 and prior, when the original hospital opened and from when the hospital expanded in 1983.
Items in the time capsule included tickets to fundraising dinners to help build the hospital from 1955, a bank book from 1955 in which the original fundraising efforts began, and a campaign pledge card from 1959. Other items included a Western Union telegram from 1956, a letter from a donor who gave one dollar in 1955, and notes from a 1959 campaign meeting.
Some of the unique items found included a donation can from 1955 which was placed at local businesses around Eagle River. "Buy a Brick to Help the Sick" sales packets were found, and an "Aunt Jemima doll" was included. The dolls were made by a group of woman in 1956 to be sold during a pancake fundraiser.
Items from the 1983 addition consisted of a 1982 penny, a Time Magazine from 1983, an edition of the Vilas County News-Review, hospital brochures, an application for expansion of Eagle River Memorial Hospital (ERMH) services from 1981, a letter from hospital administrator Charles E Reevs, and a cranberry fruit nut bread recipe.

Death of a Superhero
A young man growing up may not have a future to look forward to in this drama from director Ian FitzGibbon. Donald (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) is fourteen years old; he likes to draw comics and he wishes he had a girlfriend. None of this is unusual, but Donald has one problem that sets him apart from his peers -- he has leukemia, and after going through several rounds of chemotherapy, no one is sure if he'll grow to adulthood. As his parents (Michael McElhatton and Sharon Horgan) try to make sense of their son's anger and mood swings, Donald often retreats into a fantasy world he's created in his drawings where he's a strong, muscular superhero with a beautiful female sidekick who helps him battle an all-powerful villain, The Glove. As Donald tries to move forward in a life that may only last a few more years, he gets useful advice from Dr. Adrian King (Andy Serkis), a counselor and "death therapist," and he strikes up a friendship with Shelly (Aisling Loftus), a pretty teenage girl whose cynicism nearly matches his own. Death Of A Superhero received its North American premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A young girl from rural Ireland dreams of one day becoming a champion race car driver, and jumps at the opportunity to compete in a local go-cart race despite the fact that the odds seem to be stacked against her. Mary (Niamh McGirr) may only be 11 years old, but she's got the spirit of a seasoned racecar driver. She lives on a County Antrim farm with her bickering parents, who are too distracted by personal and financial issues to recognize their daughter's true passion. One day, a wealthy farmer announces he'll be staging a go-cart race and encourages the local children to participate, Mary sees it as her big chance to hone her skills behind the wheel. Unfortunately for Mary, competing in the race at all is going to be an uphill challenge; her parents are dead set against it, and the kids at school tease her for wanting to make a name for herself in such a traditionally male-dominated sport. But Mary isn't one to give up without a fight, and perhaps with a little help from her best friend Tom she'll be able to build a car that will carry her across the finish line faster than anyone else. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In director Johnny Gogan's deliberately paced political thriller Mapmaker, an outsider in a small Northern Irish village finds himself embroiled in a old conflict between the IRA and the local forestry department. Hired by the Northern Ireland parish of Rosveagh to prepare a tourism map, cartographer Richie Markey (Brian F. O'Byrne) sets about his task, only to find some archeological sites are in danger of being destroyed. Raising his concerns with forestry manager Robert Bates (Brendan Coyle), Markey quickly suspects something sinister lies behind the destruction when Bates brusquely ignores his pleas. Shortly thereafter, Markey learns that a previous survey team failed in mapping the region when one of its members, one Peter Nolan, disappeared after being accused of informing on a couple of IRA men that were killed in connection to a soldier's death. Despite receiving warnings to stop his work, Markey carries on until he discovers Nolan's body and comes to the rather startling conclusion that his completed map may very well solve the mystery surrounding Nolan's death. ~ Ryan Shriver, Rovi

The Last Bus Home
Though it is late in the punk rock movement, four Dublin youths get together in 1979 to form their own band. Accurately recounting the energy and rawness of the era, this drama follows their tumultuous and ill-fated journey on the rocky road to success. It takes three long years of unpaid performing for Reena, her lover Jessop, bassist Joe and drummer Petie to make a name for The Dead Patriots. Just as they are about to find real success, internal difficulties arise that leave each of them suspicious and mistrustful of the other. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Paint Cans
This Canadian comedy spoofs the government film fund and provides valuable insight to those interested in learning the lingo of bureaucracy. Wick Burns is a government official with all the self-motivation and personality of a robot. His newest project is to find funding for a small art film, "Paint Cans." It was directed by his former film school classmate Vittorio Russo and produced by the oily tongued Neville Lewis. Everyone at the film fund hates this film, but simply saying no is not the bureaucratic way. Instead they try to get other agencies to fund the film. The story also introduces elements of Burn's personal life including his relationship with his disapproving father, and a fledgling romance with Arundel, a journalist he meets in Cannes. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Tomcat: Dangerous Desires
This direct-to-video item puts an interesting sci-fi/horror spin on the "erotic thriller" genre. Richard Grieco plays Tom, a man suffering from a rare DNA disorder, who becomes the subject of a bizarre experiment by repressed geneticist Jacki (Maryam D'Abo). Injected with a serum containing the genetic traits of a cat, Tom is restored to health and transformed into a sinewy hunk with superhuman agility and a decidedly feline demeanor -- complete with a savage, murderous sex drive. Though this added trait makes him doubly attractive to his doctor, it also compels him to destroy every woman with whom he mates. Though the majority of the film's tension is of the sexual kind (and quite steamy at that), the more horrific plot elements are well-driven by Grieco's manic intensity -- until the disappointing climax, which shows the earmarks of a writer in over his head. Also known as Dangerous Desires. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Buried on Sunday
Members of Canada's groundbreaking improvisational comedy troupe CODCO helped create this broad black comedy about a small Canadian community's unique bid to become a world power. Solomon Gundy is a small island off the Atlantic Coast of Canada whose economy is built around fishing. A government researcher determines that Canada's fish production needs to be cut by four percent -- and since Solomon Gundy produces four percent of the nation's catch, the government simply decides to suspend all fishing licenses for the Island. Needless to say, this decision is wildly unpopular with the locals, and Dexter (Maury Chaykin), the Federal official who has to break the bad news to the town, nearly gets lynched for his troubles. Augustus (Paul Gross), who acts as Solomon Gundy's mayor when he isn't busy officiating at the local church or running the miniature golf course, decides to take the bull by the horns and rallies the townspeople to declare their independence from Canada. As fate would have it, a group of Russian sailors gone AWOL happen by the Island, and Augustus is able to buy their submarine from the sole crewman left on board (Tommy Sexton). Augustus soon discovers the sub still has a cache of tactical missiles on board, making the newly independent Solomon Gundy a nuclear superpower. Also released as Northern Extremes, Burried on Sunday proved to be the final film role for founding CODCO member Tommy Sexton, who died of AIDS-related illnesses in 1993. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Shot in 1983 but not released until 1985, this low-budget sci-fi adventure is set in a degenerate society sometime in the near future, with humans thrown back to the level of Neanderthals by nuclear war. Three astronauts, two men and a woman, are in charge of a space station armed with nuclear weapons when World War III erupts on earth. They remain in space to stay out of the conflagration but are forced to crash-land several months after the war has wiped out most of civilization. After the crash, one astronaut is killed, another is captured, and the third stays with the downed space station in a series of chase-and-capture scenes. Marauders have taken over a lawless world and the future looks bleak for everyone, even the remaining astronauts. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

The Siege gets under way with an attack on a Canadian gay bar by a neo-fascist group called "The New Order." One of the patrons escapes, and the New Order goes after him, killing everyone who gets in their way. When the right-wing thugs come back to the bar and try to take over the building, the patrons form a united front and a bloody battle ensues. And where are the cops during all this? They're on strike, and considering the violence infecting this remote Nova Scotia community, one can hardly blame the police for their "blue flu". As far as head-basher films go, Siege is pretty good, with a particular tense climax. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Springdale, NE, bank is held up and robbed by a well organized gang. One of the members is Eddie Campbell (Robert Vaughn), a onetime resident of the town and orphan who was brought up in part by Ben Cutler (Fred MacMurray), an ex-lawman-turned-rancher. While pursuing the robbers, the town marshal, Hiram Cain (Emile G. Meyer), is shot dead by Campbell, who in turn is wounded and captured by Cutler. The town council appoints Cutler as temporary marshal, and the prosecution seems like an open-and-shut case -- he begins to see signs of trouble when his own daughter Laurie (Joan Blackman), who was raised with Campbell and was once his sweetheart, refuses to believe that he's guilty of the crime. Ben's fiancée, Ruth (Maggie Hayes), also feels the boy deserves leniency, but the real trouble starts when Campbell's attorney, William Selby (Edmon Ryan), shows up; he first tries to compromise the jury pool by ingratiating himself with the asking the townspeople what we would now call "push" questions, about Campbell's being an orphan and a hard-luck case all of his life, under the guise of building his case. He's also just clever enough at the trial to shake the testimony of the five other witnesses to the shooting, but Cutler's testimony is enough to put the jury into the guilty column. Then Campbell starts working on the sympathy of Laurie and the townspeople who've been persuaded by his lawyer -- it's also been a long time since there's been a capital case like this in the state, and Cutler discovers that the townspeople and even the law may not be as ready to execute a killer as common sense says they should be. Cutler's and Ruth's romance is jeopardized, and he is pushed to the point of resigning when matters come to an explosive head. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

What It Means to Be "all In" on Hadoop
Another post about the Pivotal HD and the accompanying statements, this time from Matthew Aslett:
Pivotal HD is not Hadoop
Neither is Cloudera's Distribution, including Apache Hadoop.
Nor the Hortonworks Data Platform.
Nor the MapR Distribution.
Nor IBM's InfoSphere BigInsights.
Nor the WANdisco Distro.
Nor Intel's Distribution for Apache Hadoop.

How Many Hadoops?
The short answer is there is only one Apache Hadoop distribution.
The long answer is that there are many distributions that include Apache Hadoop or are claiming compatibility with Apache Hadoop.
The oldest and probably most popular: Cloudera's Distribution of Hadoop (CDH)
The 100% open source: Hortonworks Data Platform.
The prioprietary: MapR.
The blue one: IBM InfoSphere BigInsights.
The latest: WANdisco Hadoop WDD, Intel Distribution of Hadoop and Pivotal HD from EMC Greenplum.
There's also the version Facebook's running on their cluster which includes Facebook Corona: a different approach to job scheduling and resource management.
But this list is not complete as it doesn't include appliances featuring Hadoop. In this category we have:
- Oracle's Big Data appliance featuring Cloudera's Distribution of Hadoop
- Netapp's Hadooplers
- EMC Greenplum DCA
- Teradata Aster Discovery Platform featuring Hortonworks's Hadoop Data Platform
- Data Direct Networks (DDN)
I hope I didn't miss any important ones1. As a conclusion for this list, my question is: who is actually benefiting from all these distributions?
I left aside for now Hadoop-as-a-Service. ↩

Big Data Market Analysis: Vendors Revenue and Forecasts
I think this is the first extensive Big Data report I'm reading that includes enough relevant and quite exhaustive data about the majority of players in the Big Data market, plus some captivating forecasts.
As of early 2012, the Big Data market stands at just over $5 billion based on related software, hardware, and services revenue. Increased interest in and awareness of the power of Big Data and related analytic capabilities to gain competitive advantage and to improve operational efficiencies, coupled with developments in the technologies and services that make Big Data a practical reality, will result in a super-charged CAGR of 58% between now and 2017.
While there are many stories behind these numbers and many things to think about, here is what I've jotted down while studying the report:
- it's no surprise that "megavendors" (IBM, HP, etc.) account for the largest part of today's Big Data market revenue
- still, the revenue ratio of pure-players vs megavendors feels quite unbalanced: $311mil out of $5.1bil
- the pure-player category includes: Vertica, Aster Data, Splunk, Greenplum, 1010data, Cloudera, Think Big Analytics, MapR, Digital Reasoning, Datameer, Hortonworks, DataStax, HPCC Systems, Karmasphere
- there are a couple of names that position themselves in the Big Data market that do not show up in anywhere (e.g. 10gen, Couchbase)
- this could lead to the conclusion that the companies that include hardware in their offer benefit of larger revenues
- I'm wondering though what is the margin in the hardware market segment. While not having any data at hand, I think I've read reports about HP and Dell not doing so well due exactly to lower margins
- see bullet point further down about revenue by hardware, software, and services
- this could explain why so many companies are trying their hand at appliances
- by looking at the various numbers you can see that those selling appliances usually have a large corporation behind supporting the production costs for hadware and probably the cost of the sales force
- in the Big Data revenue by vendor you can find quite a few well-known names from the consulting segment
- the revenue by type pie lists services as accounting for 44%, hardware for 31%, and software for 13% which might give an idea of what makes up the megavendors' sales packages
- most of the NoSQL database companies and Hadoop companies are mostly in the software and services segment
Great job done by the Wikibon team.

Comparing Hadoop Appliances: Oracle's Big Data Appliance, EMC Greenplum DCA, Netapp Hadooplers
Great post from Gwen Shapira over Pythian diving into the pros and cons of Hadoop appliances vs building your own Hadoop clusters. Plus a comparison of existing Hadoop appliances: Oracle Big Data Appliance, EMC Greenplum DCA, and Netapp Hadooplers.
Another good reason to roll your own is the flexibility: Appliances are called that way because they have a very specific configuration. You get a certain number of nodes, cpus, RAM and storage. Oracle's offering is an 18 node rack. What if you want 12 nodes? or 23? tough luck. What if you want less RAM and more CPU? you are still stuck.

Partnerships in the Hadoop Market
Just a quick recap:
- Cloudera: Oracle, Dell, NetApp
- Hortonworks: Microsoft
- MapR: EMC (integration with Greenplum HD)
Amazon doesn't partner with anyone for their Amazon Elastic Map Reduce. And IBM is walking alone with the software-only InfoSphere BigInsights.

Explaining Hadoop to Your CEO
Dan Woods (Forbes):
The answer is, yes, Hadoop could be helpful, but there are other technologies as well. For example, technologies such as Splunk allow you to explore big data sets in a way that's more interactive than most Hadoop implementations. Splunk not only lets you play with big data; you can also distill it and visualize it. Pervasive's DataRush allows you to write parallel programs using a simplified programming model, and then process lots of data at scale. 1010data allows you to look at a spreadsheet that has a trillion rows, as well as handle time series data. EMC Greenplum and Teradata Aster Data and SAP HANA will also want a crack at your business. If you take any of these technologies and combine them with QlikView, Tableau, or TIBCO Spotfire, you can figure out what a big data set means to your business very quickly. So if your job is understanding the business value of the data, Hadoop is one of many things that you should analyze.
Blah blah blah Big Data, blah blah blah list of vendors, blah blah blah Big Data
It might even work for a dummy CEO.

Hadoop: It's Still a Niche Technology
In an otherwise generic but interesting post about Hadoop and its integration with data analytics and data warehouse solutions, Jessica Twentyman writes:
It's still a niche technology, but Hadoop's profile received a serious boost over that past year, thanks in part to start-up companies such as Cloudera and MapR that offer commercially licensed and supported distributions of Hadoop. Its growing popularity is also the result of serious interest shown by EDW vendors like EMC, IBM and Teradata. EMC bought Hadoop specialist Greenplum in June 2010; Teradata announced its acquisition of Aster Data in March 2011; and IBM announced its own Hadoop offering, Infosphere, in May 2011.
Unfortunately she got this all wrong. It is the open source community, developers, data scientists, and Cloudera that help popularize Hadoop.
These data analytics and data warehouse vendors are just capitalizing on Hadoop delivering results. They haven't been knocking at doors asking: "Have you heard of Hadoop? Do you want to try it?". They've run into Hadoop in most of the places they went and that made them realize it is a business opportunity.
So, I'll say it again: Hadoop is popular thanks to the open source community, developers, data scientists and Cloudera.

R: the Leading Statistics Language and Key Weapon in Advanced Analytics Today
David Smith (Revolution Analytics):
Of course, this isn't the first time that R has been embedded into a data warehousing appliance. IBM Netezza's iClass device integrates with Revolution R, and AsterData, the Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance, and Greenplum all provide connections to R as well. Here at Revolution Analytics, we think that such enterprise-level integrations with R serve to grow the R ecosystem and serve as validation of R as a key platform for advanced analytics. As CEO Norman Nie said to GigaOm this weekend,
"Oracle's announcement to embed R demonstrates validation for the leading statistics language and offers further evidence that R is a key weapon in advanced analytics today"
And let's not leave aside the strategic partnership between Revolution Analytics and Cloudera to include RevoConnectR in the CDH.

BI Pentaho Integrates Hadoop, NoSQL Databases, and Analytic Databases
- The ability to orchestrate execution of Hadoop related tasks (i.e., executing a Hive Query, Pig Script, or M/R job) as part of a broader IT workflow.
- The ability to setup dependencies, so if a step fails the job can branch down a recovery path or send a notification, or if it's a success it goes on to subsequent dependent tasks. Likewise it supports initiating several tasks in parallel.
- New integration for Pig — so that developers have the ability to execute a Pig job from a PDI Job flow, integrate the execution of Pig jobs in broader IT workflows through PDI Jobs, take advantage of our out of the box scheduler, and so on.
The list of tools Pentaho 4 integrates with is quite long:
- a long list of traditional RDBMS
- analytics databases (Greenplum, Vertica, Netezza, Teradata, etc.)
- NoSQL databases (MongoDB, HBase, etc.)
- Hadoop variants
- LexisNexis HPCC
This is the world of polyglot persistence and hybrid data storage.

EMC BigData Acquisition Budget: $3 Billion
Bloomberg reports on EMC's planned budget for acquisitions in the BigData market:
EMC Corp. may spend about $3 billion on acquisitions this year, keeping pace with last year's tally, to add businesses that can help corporate customers analyze reams of data, Chief Operating Officer Pat Gelsinger said.
EMC says it spent $3.2 billion last year on acquisitions including Isilon Systems Inc. and Greenplum Inc. to gain products that let its customers store and analyze a vast and rapid onslaught of data from business applications and the Web. EMC may spend about that much again in 2011 as it races Oracle Corp. (ORCL), International Business Machines Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) and SAP AG (SAP) to offer more robust data-analysis products.
EMC joins HP which has also directly[1] and indirectly announced its plans for acquisitions in the BigData market.
On the other hand, can you imagine how much could be done for the community driven NoSQL databases with only 1-2% of this budget?
Earlier this year, HP acquired Vertica. ↩

Posted 5:00 PM 7/19/2012 : Pima County kids sleeping in CPS offices
TUCSON - There's such a critical shortage of beds in Pima County, some of our abused and neglected children are having to sleep in CPS offices.
Numbers vary, depending on who you talk to, but CPS says the average is six-to-eight kids per week, sleeping in a CPS office. This, of course, means CPS workers are having to sleep at the offices too. It's a dire situation.
No surprise, the offices aren't equipped with comforts of home. Some children have cots, and some are sleeping on the floors. Tamra Shea, a volunteer with "In My Shoes," mentors older kids in foster care. She tells Kristi's Kids, "there's no place to shower. There's no place to cook a meal. There's no tub to bathe them in." She also says, "I don't believe it's the fault of CPS. They're doing their job. They can't leave the children in the homes."
Kristi's Kids spoke with Melissa Perillo, a registered nurse in the UAMC Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. She says, the bed shortage is so bad, substance-exposed newborns are having to stay in the hospital an extra day or two because they have nowhere to go. Perillo says, "probably in the last 6 months it seems like it's gotten much worse. It's more regular and steady."
Right now, in Pima County, there are about 750 licensed foster homes. One official tells Kristi's Kids, we'd need a hundred more to end this crisis.
If you'd like to learn more about becoming a foster parent, please call 1-877-KIDS-NEEDU.
If you'd like to donate grocery store or restaurant gift cards, bottled water or children's clothing, please call Aviva Children's Services at 520-327-6779, ext.13.

Local police officers to visit cancer patient, 5, in VA
Posted: 12/05/12 at 6:25 pm Updated: 12/05/12 at 11:00 pm
Tags: Burlington Virginia Nathan Norman
UNDATED (WHDH) -- A brave 5-year-old boy is fighting cancer with the spirit of Christmas; he's using the holiday as a method of healing, and this year, he's asking emergency crews to send Christmas cards.
One of the groups adding to the deck of cards is the Burlington Police Department.
Nathan Norman wished to receive Christmas cards from police and fire departments across the country.
Nathan has been battling a rare and aggressive form of cancer. His family says Christmas has been a way to escape the pain.
Officers in Burlington heard about the wish, and wanted to help.
"One of our detectives heard of the wish and started a card around the department," said Sgt. Gerard McDonough, Burlington Police Department. "Our honor guard got together and thought it would be a good idea to personally deliver the card to Nathan and his family."
Word of Nathan's wish quickly spread to other towns. Dozens of other local police departments are joining in. They plan to drive down to Virginia next week, providing a little hope for the holidays.
If you are interested in sending Nathan a card, click here!

Approached By A God
Self Titled
Having never heard of this band before, I took it upon myself to do some research on Approached by a God. An hour and a whole lot of completely unrelated links later, I've managed to find out that these guys are Canadian, got together in 2004, had some line-up issues, and this is their first demo. So basically, I'm winging it.
Just about anytime a Canadian upstart comes across my desk I am greeted by an onslaught of technical guitar wizardry and blasts aplenty, however Approached by a God take a simpler, more melodic approach to their brand of death metal. That's not to say they can't handle their instruments, as opener "Urban Apocalypse" and its opening salvo immediately proves that they can, via tight thrash riffing littered with pinch harmonics and some Maiden-esque galloping. "Find Your Daughter Before She Gets Killed" follows with more thrashy riffing although it has a lot more hefty death metal presence. "Deleted Scene" is one the most energetic tracks herein with its quick picking patterns and bouncy, melodic feel. "Cut Yourself" which has a lot of traditional metal going on in its galloping rhythms and dual leads closes out the brief demo.
As with most demo material, there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of finding a distinct sound to work with as well as tightening the screws on the performances and securing a better production job. All in all this a slightly above average demo from a young group that shows a decent amount of potential.

Food Rights
Voters in Sedgwick and Penobscot declare their food independence.
The way Heather Retberg sees it, the small farmers who till the soil on the Blue Hill peninsula are simply doing what Maine farmers have done for generations. "Our practices aren't changing at all," says Retberg, who with her husband, Phil, operates Quill's End Farm in Penobscot. "The only things that are changing are the regulations on the state and federal levels."
So it is, Retberg says, that Quill's End Farm has had to stop selling the chickens that it took to a neighbor for slaughtering and the raw milk that Phil milked from the couple's four cows.
"Something is very wrong when it becomes this complicated to sell food to our neighbors," Retberg says.
The neighbors seem to agree. In early March, the tiny town of Sedgwick quietly made history by becoming the first community in the state, and perhaps the country, to declare its right to "unimpeded access to local foods." Soon after, Town Meeting voters in Penobscot, the Retbergs' hometown, followed suit by adopting an ordinance nearly identical to Sedgwick's. Brooksville voters, too, weighed in, though they chose to defeat a similar measure — by just nine votes. Among other things, the ordinances declare direct-to-consumer farm sales to be exempt from state and federal licensing and inspection.
Can towns do that? Not likely, says Hal Prince, director of the Division of Quality Assurance and Regulation at the Maine Department of Agriculture, who has sought the Maine Attorney General's Office's advice on the matter. "A town can't pass an ordinance that frustrates state and federal laws," Prince says, so these local food sovereignty laws won't affect the way agriculture department inspectors do their jobs.
The sale of raw fruits and vegetables doesn't require a license, Prince points out, but some foods, like meat and milk products, are governed by food safety regulations. That means that even small farms like Quill's End must take their chickens to an approved slaughtering facility or seek an exemption permit allowing them to slaughter their own — and only their own — birds.
Likewise, cows must be milked in a licensed sanitary milking parlor, not the barn or barnyard.
But these options are so expensive they could drive small farms out of business, says Retberg, who is among the small group of farmers and their customers who drafted the ordinances. They argue that regulations were designed for factory farms, not community operations.
Food independence ordinances may prove difficult to enforce, but if nothing else, they will send a message to Augusta and Washington that it's time to consider revising regulations designed for industrial agriculture so small farmers can provide their communities with fresh — and safe — local food.
Signature Collection
The Vinalhaven Historical Society's newest artifact bears a famous autograph.
Brittle and torn, the document that Jack and Angie Olson found in their closet may not be worth much in the antiques trade, but to the Vinalhaven Historical Society, it's priceless. Dated January 31, 1785, the certificate bears the florid signature of the man whose name is synony-mous with the word "signature": John Hancock. That's impressive, but it's the other name on the frayed paper that is significant to Vinalhaven: William Vinall.
Vinall is the son of John Vinall, the lawyer for whom the island, located thirteen miles off the coast of Rockland, is named. The certificate appoints William as justice of the peace of the Fox Islands (Vinalhaven and North Haven, which were then one town). Its creases are to be expected because Vinall likely carried the paper, folded, in his wallet or pocket as he performed his duties, according to historical society president Bill Chilles. In those days, a justice of the peace was essentially a police officer, charged with apprehending and arresting lawbreakers.
The appointment would have been one of John Hancock's last duties as governor of the state of Massachusetts, of which Maine was then a part. Two days before he put his John Hancock on the document — front and back — the governor tendered his resignation, citing poor health. (He successfully ran for the office again in 1787.)
The document was not a surprise to Jack Olson, who is William Vinall's great-great-great-great grandson. A family conversation piece, it was rediscovered every few years. "It was getting tattered and we didn't have any way of maintaining it," Olson says of his decision to donate the paper to the historical society. Olson's grandmother, Min Vinal, was the last of the Vinalhaven Vinals, Olson says. (He does not know when the second "l" was dropped from the surname's spelling.)
The certificate is the oldest document in the Vinalhaven Historical Society museum, and possibly its oldest artifact (the other contender is a cooking kettle believed, but not proven, to be of Revolutionary War vintage). "Every once in a while, a museum gets a piece that is very significant because it ties everything about a place or an event together,"Chilles says. "This is not one of those, but, still, it is a really, really cool piece."
Shattered Dream
The Jones Museum disbands the last of its glass and ceramics collection.
Barely a word has been reported about the Jones Museum of Glass & Ceramics since 2005 when the Maine Attorney General's Office stepped in to safeguard its world-class collections and mediate a legal dispute between the institution's founder, Dorothy-Lee Jones, and its trustees. Over the last several months, we've learned, the sad saga has been winding to a close. The Sebago museum has been donating its artifacts to other nonprofit institutions, and Jones has been selling thousands of pieces of glassware from her private collection at auction.
"My parents were hoping to reopen the museum, but they are getting older and they ran out of resources," Lyra Hankins, the daughter of Dorothy-Lee Jones and Lauriston Ward, Jr., tells us. "All the litigation has been hard on them."
By the time the AG's office intervened, Jones and the trustees had been arguing in court over ownership of a portion of the collections — some five thousand bowls, vases, and figurines — for nearly three years. The underlying issue, however, was their differing visions for the museum.
A respected glass and ceramics expert, Jones started the nonprofit museum in a converted barn on her father's rural Douglas Mountain property in 1978. Its holdings grew to include ten thousand items, many from Jones' own collection, the rest loaned or donated at her behest. The seasonal museum attracted 12,000 visitors a year, and glass scholars from around the world attended the seminars at Jones' nearby Douglas Mountain Conference Center. In 1997, the American Association of Museums accredited the museum, a recognition that required Jones, as founder, to give up her unpaid directorship. She did so and assumed the role of founding curator.
But Jones and the new salaried director, John Holverson, clashed. Holverson, whose bitter departure from the helm of the Portland Museum of Art made headlines in 1987, wanted to relocate the museum to the former armory in South Portland; Jones opposed the move. The disagreement turned ugly as the board locked Jones out of her own building, preventing her from using artifacts in her lectures at the conference center. She successfully sued to be allowed inside to identify objects that she said belonged to her. Holverson, meanwhile, was found in contempt of court for moving some of the disputed inventory to a Westbrook storage facility. In 2005, the Museum of Glass & Ceramics, which was to succeed the Jones Museum in South Portland, went bankrupt before it even opened its doors.
"All of the [Jones Museum] board members left, and we were left with a charity in litigation and without a board," says Assistant State Attorney General Christina Moylan. "We tried to get the charity back on its feet, but we couldn't find anyone interested in serving on the board. The charity dissolved."
Volunteers guided by the AG's office have spent the last few years returning loaned pieces to their owners and donating the rest of the items to nonprofits, including Wheaten Arts and Cultural Center in New Jersey, Corning Museum of Glass, Boston Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Maine State Museum, and Saco Museum.
As for the disputed items, they were found to belong to Dorothy-Lee Jones, who perhaps best summed up the sorry affair in a 2002 interview with Maine Antiques Digest. "The whole matter is so outlandish as to be bizarre," she said. "I never thought it would ever come to this."
Powerful Prose
Maine's new poet laureate will do the state proud.
Mainers who value the power of the written word are still smarting from Governor Paul LePage's decision not to include a poetry reading during his inaugural, but the governor extendedan olive branch to literature lovers this winter when he named Wesley McNair as the state's poet laureate. When asked for a bit of verse to contribute to this issue, McNair, who has long carried the banner of rural Maine, passed us his poem from The Town of No & My Brother Running (David R. Godine, 1998). He proudly declares that the poem is posted at the Cathedral Pines turnaround on Route 27 in Eustis and "is the only one to appear on a road sign in Maine."
"Driving to Dark Country"
Past where the last
gang of signs
comes out of the dark
to wave you back,
and past telephone
wires lengthening
with the light of someone
beyond the next hill
just returning,
a slow, single line
will take the eye
of your high beam. Around you
will be jewels
of the fox-watch.
Great trees will rise up
to see you passing by,
all by yourself,
riding on light.
—Wesley McNair

Work detailsStill Life by Louise Penny (2005)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Just days after finally revealing one of her paintings and getting accepted into the local art exhibit, Jane is found dead in the forest. At first it looks like a tragic hunting accident, but when nobody steps forward, more and more signs seem to point towards murder. Inspecteur Gamache of the Sûreté du Quebec is called to picturesque little Three Pines, the tiny village rocked by these horrible events, to try and solve the case. He brings with him his trusted team, and the rookie Nichol – who turns out to not quite be what he hoped for. Flea's picks for me take me out of my comfort zone this year. The village cozy is virtually virgin land for me. I'm somewhat surprised that this book charmed and gripped me the way it did. Penny has populated Three Pines with charming, unusual characters, all of whom know each other really well. This creates a certain ambience, the growing unease in knowing one of your neighbors is a killer, but also the annoyance of trying to conduct a police investigation in a place where word gets around like a wildfire. Many of Penny's rather large cast are memorable, and make this a place to revisit. One or two might be slightly over the top – eternally wise-cracking Gabri and perhaps especially Nichol, whose utter lack of self-awareness is a bit much to swallow at times. The tendency of swapping perspectives between characters completely haphazardly is also a little distracting, especially since Penny needs to keep secrets from the reader even when we enter someone's mind. There's a bit too much of "He thought about the thing he knew he couldn't say" going on. And, as often seems the case, the red herrings are perhaps a bit more interesting than the actual solution. But with the charm, wit and tenderness at the core of this book, such flaws are easily forgiven. Getting a small sliver of information on the tension between French and English speakers in Canada along the way was a nice bonus too. Penny is such a delight to read and this first novel sets the stage wonderfully for her series. The quiet village of Three Pines, populated with its crazy cast of characters, each more intriguing than the last, is even more interesting than the plot itself: Gamache is at ease with these people who feel so much and who have such complex inner lives. This is not a traditional who dunnit. It's an exploration of human relationships and foibles, the inner currents that motivate us: we are all fallible, and some of us fail and succumb. What's best are the parallel tales, this time with Philippe and his father, but also that curious Arnot case which is already rearing its ugly head. A wonderful setup for the stories to come... I can't wait for more! Still Life: a Chief Inspector Armand Gamache Novel. Louise Penny. 2005. This is the first novel of this series too. When Jane Neal's body is discovered in the small Canadian village of Three Pines, Chief Inspector Gamache of the Surete du Quebec and his staff take up residence in the small inn until they discover the murderer. This is a cozy with a little grit. Three Pines is an arty little town filled with an eccentric group of people several of whom have a motive to kill Jane. This is a delightful mystery; I hope the rest of the series is as good. Engaging first novel featuring French Canadian inspector Armand Gamache, a thoughtful and team-oriented police detective with a happy marriage, no substance abuse problems, and not much angst. The solution to the mystery seemed obvious from early on (though I had the personality and therefore the motive of the culprit all wrong), but the book's central pleasure is the interaction of the characters - how they piece together the truth, rather than specifically what the truth turns out to be. This is the first book in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series. It is a surprise really because it is a quite incredible work of fiction, not always expected in a mystery novel. Ms. Penny's writing is lyrical and magical. Her characterizations are extremely well done. Her characters are very lifelike full dimensional. I was recommended this series by a fellow Amazon reader and I am so glad that I followed up on the recommendation. The setting is a small, beautiful French Canadian village called Three Pines. Chief Inspector Gamache and his team are called to this picturesque village to look into the death of a local, retired schoolteacher. Is the death accidental or is it murder? Gamache and his team set out to discover the circumstances that led to the death. They meet some truly individual and wonderful local people. Three Pines is an artsy/crafty kind of place. Not the sort of place where Gamache would expect to find a cold-blooded murderer. But find one he does. I loved this book and will be continuing to read this series. I like the Quebec setting and the Canadian references throughout the book. It's always wonderful to find a new mystery series.
The beauty of Louise Penny's auspicious debut novel, STILL LIFE, is that it's composed entirely of grace notes, all related to the central mystery of who shot an arrow into the heart of Miss Jane Neal,...
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312541538, Paperback)Winner of the New Blood Dagger, Arthur Ellis, Barry, Anthony, and Dilys awards. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:18:38 -0400) Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the S?uret�e du Qu�ebec and his team of investigators are called in to the scene of a suspicious death in a rural village south of Montreal. Jane Neal, a local fixture in the tiny hamlet of Three Pines, just north of the U.S. border, has been found dead in the woods. The locals are certain it's a tragic hunting accident and nothing more, but Gamache smells something foul in these remote woods, and is soon certain that Jane Neal died at the hands of someone much more sinister than a careless bowhunter.--From publisher description.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

Tilikum in a scene from the movie "Blackfish" (Courtesy of Magnolia Pictures / July 31, 2013) |
The weekday matinee showing of "Blackfish" drew about 30 paying customers in a theater with seats for 250. Mainly older couples, though there was a trio of brawny guys, so big they seemed unlikely to fit into a single seat each, wearing muscle shirts that showed off the tattoos that thoroughly covered their arms, and joking nonstop. Not the likeliest audience for a documentary about captive whales, screening in an art cinema.
Critics almost uniformly praised the film about captive killer whales and the trainers they have injured and, a few times, killed. And indeed there were surprising discoveries: how inexperienced and inexpert people can be and still become whale trainers. How regretful some of them are about their roles in exploiting the magnificent creatures — yet at the same time, the certainty among most of them that they had bonded closely with the whales. And how tiny the holding tank was at a marine park in Vancouver where, during his earlier years as a performing killer whale, Tilikum spent some 16 hours a day.
The main thrust of the film was an examination of the possible reasons why, in 2010, Tilikum attacked and killed his trainer during a performance at the much-better-equipped SeaWorld in Orlando, Fla. Tilikum already had been involved in two previous deaths. Was he just a mean whale? Unlikely, as former trainers described a whale that in his earlier years was among the most amenable to training. Was he always affected in some way by the fact that as a juvenile he had been captured at sea, taken from his mother and his family pod? Did he develop a "psychosis" from his early years in that inhumanely small tank at Sealand in Vancouver? Was he traumatized? Frustrated? Naturally moody? Or did he perhaps not even understand what he was doing during the attack?
EDITORIAL: End the killer whale circus
The trainers and experts don't seem to agree, though since they're being interviewed for an anti-SeaWorld documentary, they have many criticisms of the company and other marine parks. And though the film never says it, that lack of obvious answers is really the point: We attribute human characteristics and feelings to animals even when we have little if any idea how they perceive things. We don't know what Tilikum thinks or feels. We might have the technology to keep killer whales — large, intelligent animals that form lifelong social relationships with their families in the wild — captive in pools that don't even register a percentage point to how far they roam in the wild. But we certainly can't claim the understanding to force our will on them.
Even the trainers, for all their obvious love of the whales, fall into this trap from time to time, talking about their close bonds with the animals. But are killer whales hanging out with humans for fun times, or because they have to? Are they doing those tricks because it's such a stimulating gas for them, or because that's the way to get some fish?
The movie doesn't tie things up in tidy knots, but if more people saw it, there would certainly be greater public pressure to stop the shows and the captive breeding. (The parks shrink from wild capture these days; a permit is required, and animal-rights activists would launch an all-out attack of their own.) The trio of jocular tattooed guys sat in absolute silence throughout "Blackfish," except for occasional gasps of sympathy for the whales. At the end, they stood up and walked out without talking or cracking a smile.
C'mon, disposable diapers are not a 'need'
Malibu residents' retort: 'We are hospitable to you nasty tourists'

A board of education meeting focused primarily on the financial challenges the district is facing.
TRAVERSE CITY -- It's no surprise that school districts across the state are facing a financial crisis. The Traverse City Area Public School District is not only addressing their current budget but also looking at their financial forecast for next year.
"We're being proactive in our approach to this. It's going to be challenging and the board has discussed all those things," says TCAPS chief financial officer, Paul Soma.
Soma, is talking about the approach the district is taking to work with current financial challenges and those for the upcoming school year.
During a formal board of education meeting on Tuesday, board members and administrators focused primarily on their financial forecast.
"And develop a plan to deal with those variables. It's somewhat comforting to know our district has been managed in a fiscally responsible way," says Soma.
Soma says part of TCAPS plan involves reductions for the upcoming school year, since the district is facing a future budget shortfall of more than $7 million.
Some ideas for the reductions were presented to the board last month by a budget advisory task force, but Soma says TCAPS focus is minimizing the impact of any cuts.
"Including how those reductions would impact the operation. It appears there's a consensus that we will have to make at least $6 million in budget reductions," says Soma.
Now, despite the financial crisis that schools across the state are facing, Soma says that TCAPS is staying on top of the situation all to keep the district informed.
"We've been on top of this the whole time. We have used the underlying financial information we get from the state to plan our budget and therefore the board and administration came together and kind of accepted that given where we are now, we do see what's going to happen in the future," says Soma.
Soma says the next step for the TCAPS financial forecast is to identify the specific reductions that will need to be made for the 2011 school year. He says the board will discuss these issues in about a month at their February 8th meeting.

Hudson 308 header flanges
Anyone know of a source for 308 header flanges?
K-Gap has them.
Where? I didn't see an engine section.
I e-mailed KGAP and they said try Clifford Performance. I know someone sold them on Ebay at one time but I can't find the contact information.
Until K-Gap comes out with a new updated catalog not everything they have or make is listed in the curent catalog. I didn't know they had header flanges either. Another item not listed in the catalog is a very good adapter to mate Hudson engines to GM automatic transmissions.
So it is worth a call to see if they have what you need.
Have a good day.
Lee O'Dell -
I 'm looking for some equal length headers, to really get an advantage over the stock setup. I'm also weighing the differences between the GM trans adapters. I'd like to run am M-20 or an M-22.
K-Gap does have the header flanges, and the transition piece of tube that takes the square hole to round. Ask for "Dany" when you call, he'll know.
There is also a guy who sells headers with equal length tubing at San Simeon every year. Bruce Silva. They are really nice. And you can get them already coated with Jet Hot, or comparable coating. ...That's if he still has them. -
I will call K-gap tomorrow and ask to speak to Dany. I was at work and just sent an e-mail so maybe his wife answered and didn't know about the flanges. I called Bruce Silva and he said the headers are not available anymore. He is checking to see if he can get me a set of the flanges. His headers did look real good.

Mark Sanders had header flenges advertised on Ebay for stude V -8's.I sent him an email at firstname.lastname@example.com about Hudson big six header flanges.He replied back said he also makes them.He gave me a price of 38.00.Stubs were 3.00 each.I have not tried his flanges yet,so I don't know about the quality.He is in Elcajon,Ca.I hope this helps.Later Dave
Did anyone have any luck locating flanges?

J. Geils, founding member of the J. Geils Band, says that his erstwhile bandmates "planned and conspired" to exclude him from an upcoming summer/fall tour. Geils, the singer and guitarist for the band, is now suing for damages.
"Together they're the J. Geils Band, but separately they're Mr. Wolf, Mr. Salwitz , Mr. Klein, and Mr. Justman. They do not have the right to take his name and use it, and try to deny him the right to use his own name," Geils' lawyer told Reuters.
"We will address the claims in the lawsuit including our own claims against John Geils and Francesca Records at the appropriate time," said James Weinberger, who is representing the band's other members.
The tour, scheduled without Geils, was comprised of 11 shows, beginning in Syracuse, New York on August 25.

BLACK FOREST, COLO. -- The El Paso County Sheriff's Department offered a bus tour to members of the media on Friday to get a first-hand account of some of the devastation in the Black Forest area. But they also wanted to share some of the success stories.
The bus was loaded with reporters and photographers from both local and national affiliates. Out of the bus windows homeowners could be seen sifting through the rubble, trying to salvage any memories from their home that they could.
Lieutenant Jeff Kramer of the El Paso County Sheriff's Department served as guide for the tour.
"Well I remember getting reports back, you know lieutenant it's just pure devastation in there," recalled Lt. Kramer. "It's almost a total loss, they said it's just mind-boggling to see the landscape now compared to what we knew what it was before. They were awestruck by what they saw in this area for sure."
But as the bus rolled on, there were signs of hope. Buildings saved just feet from scorched earth. 'The School in the Woods' stood tall, as well as several religious structures in the area. Reminders of the men and women who risked their lives to save everything they could for others.
Like Ben Robinett, who lives in the devastated area of Swan Road and Brentwood Drive. A Fort Carson firefighter himself, ben lost everything in the fire, except his 1968 galaxy 500.
"I got a 16-year-old and a little 11-year-old," said Robinett. "And when they saw it they were.... hold on man....they were ecstatic. They don't have anything else, so that was their, that was their...what we can do as a family kind of thing. That's the attachment to it....so yeah, it'll be good."
The area will be open to the public starting Saturday, but officials ask those who have no reason to be in the area to understand that there is a lot of utility work going on in the area. Traffic congestion could disrupt the rebuilding efforts in Black Forest.
