Secret Disco Revolution, a documentary, tells the story of the rise and fall of the disco craze in the 70s, and includes archival film footage of the music, dancing and fashions of the time. Up front, I have to say this is not a movie to be taken too seriously. Insanely, a trio of disco masterminds, dressed in silver polyester, platform shoes and gold chains, are shown toting a glittering disco ball around with them as they are purported to bring about a disco revolution. No, it doesn't make any sense, but did any of the 70s make any sense? Along with music clips, there are some interesting, if choppy, interviews with disco greats such as Gloria Gaynor, Evelyn "Champagne" King, and Thelma Houston, and if you ever wonder what happened to the Village People, this is your movie. I found this movie to be funny, but you do have to be in the mood for silliness. It would probably help to invite some friends over, serve a giant cheese ball and Harvey Wallbangers, and have a good time, which I think was what disco was all about. After a Wallbanger or two, you might find yourself doing the Hustle (or think you are doing the Hustle), or singing along with the Bee Gees in falsetto. Anything could happen.
Then bring out some Chex Mix and Bugles, along with some guacamole, and make it a double feature by watching Saturday Night Fever, which at least has a plot and decent acting and the charismatic John Travolta, and remains a movie classic.
Disco had a precipitous fall. On July 12, 1979, Disco Demolition Night was held at a Chicago White Sox game, and it turned into a shambles, as disco records were set on fire and the crowd surged onto the field. Another sort of low was reached when Ethel Merman recorded a disco album. Musically, the end was signaled after The Knack released My Sharona, on June of 1979. The song soared to #1 on Billboard, and, just like that, the era of disco was over.
What was the first disco song? It's debatable, but some say that Manu Dibango's 'Soul Makossa' was perhaps the first.
"The Secret Disco Revolution' is unrated, but I recommend it for adults, and the following trailer contains a bit of racy language.

Update -- February 2012
Legislative Leaders Announce Homeowner's Bill of Rights
Attorney General Kamala Harris, Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg and Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez joined together today in Sacramento to announce the introduction of the California Homeowner's Bill of Rights. The joint legislative package is a result of investigations by the Attorney General's office into the home foreclosure crisis. It is designed to protect homeowners from unfair practices by banks and mortgage companies and to help consumers and communities cope with the state's urgent mortgage and foreclosure crisis.
The Homeowner's Bill of Rights consists of six bills designed to guarantee:
- Basic standards of fairness in the mortgage process, including an end to dual-track foreclosures;
- Transparency in the mortgage process, including a single point of contact for homeowners;
- Community tools to prevent blight after banks foreclose upon homes;
- Tenant protections after foreclosures;
- Enhanced legal enforcement to defend homeowner rights - paid for by fees imposed on banks;
- A special grand jury to investigate financial and foreclosure crime.
The legislation builds on the Attorney General's efforts to ensure that Californians received their fair share of the National Mortgage Settlement - nearly $18 billion of benefits for California homeowners. Whereas the mortgage settlement applied to mortgages owned by the five banks that were signing parties, the Homeowner's Bill of Rights will strengthen those protections, make them permanent and apply them to all mortgages in the state.
"Millions of Californians have already lost their homes to foreclosure and the mortgage crisis is far from over," said Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg. "This landmark settlement negotiated by Attorney General Harris helps thousands of Californians, but thousands more need the same help. We need to put these protections into law so that more people can save their homes."
"I want to congratulate the Attorney General on the victory she won on behalf of the people of California," said Speaker John A. Pérez. "Our state has suffered greatly as the result of bad actors in the banking and financial industries, and this settlement holds them accountable as we continue the difficult work of recovering the housing market and stemming the tide of foreclosures, evictions and auctions."

About Foreclosures
California, as well as the nation, is in the midst of one of the worst economic crises since the Great Depression. As unemployment rises above 11 percent within the State, more and more homeowners are having difficulty making their mortgage payments. That difficulty is compounded by certain mortgage products that, pursuant to their design, result in a substantial increase in payment after several years. As a result of those and other factors, many homeowners now face payments beyond the level of what they can afford.
The above issues are compounded by a significant decline in property values, which has left many California homeowners owing more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. Regardless of the initial cause of the default on a loan, the resulting foreclosure has significant impacts upon the surrounding home values, community, and for those with a financial interest in the loan itself.
To help those seeking foreclosure help, the California Senate Majority Caucus has compiled a list of helpful resources to get answers for your homeowner questions.
This website also has several tips for avoiding scams that have begun to torment vulnerable homeowners, as well as numbers to call if you believe you were a victim to crime.
You can also view recent legislation that your elected Majority Caucus Senators have been working on to aid homeowners in this economy by clicking the 'legislation' tab in the sidebar.

As health care reform rolls out over the next five years and millions of newly insured seek treatment, the shortage of general medicine doctors will only worsen. Many researchers anticipate that physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners will step in to fill that gap. They are already on the front lines, handling more and more routine visits, and their numbers are expected to increase in the coming years. Researchers are finding that the presence of PAs and nurse practitioners at doctors' offices may help improve both the quality and availability of medical care.
Today community health care clinics are twice as likely as private practices to employ PAs and nurse practitioners. Thanks in part to the PAs and nurses, one recent study published in the Journal of Community Health found, clinics were able to see a greater volume of patients and to remain open for longer hours. The clinics were also able to spend more time educating patients about their conditions—something that nurses and PAs were more likely to do than doctors. Clinics also employed an efficient division of labor, whereby PAs were deployed more to patients with acute conditions such as colds or minor injuries, and doctors treated more patients with chronic conditions. Right now who one sees at the doctor's office is too often dictated by scheduling convenience, rather than by how tricky one's case is, says Roderick Hooker, a health services researcher at the Lewin Group in Falls Church, Va., and co-author of the paper. As more PAs and nurses join private practices, community health clinics could be used as a model. With the flood of new patients, doctors will need all the help they can get.

Recovery Time Following Total Knee Replacement Surgery
Arthroplasty, or total knee replacement surgery, is a major surgical procedure and to ensure proper healing it is important to follow the directions given by your orthopedic surgeon. The knee bears a great deal of weight and a well designed physical therapy plan should be followed after knee surgery to ensure restoration of movement and mobility to the knee joint.
Very basically, arthroplasty involves replacement of the knee joint cartilage with a prosthesis made up of special metals and plastics and involves a hospital stay of 3 to 7 days after the knee replacement surgery. Most hospitals will not discharge a patient who has had replacement knee surgery unless they can walk with the aid of crutches. Knee rehabilitation therapy commences almost immediately after the surgery and can continue for several months. This is a crucial key to good recovery.
Since it can take up to 3 weeks after surgery before the repaired knee joint can be expected to bear any weight, it may be necessary for patients to receive in-home assistance. If in-home care is not available then there are rehabilitation centers that can provide that service. This would mean staying at the center for 2 or 3 weeks after the operation. During this time the leg should be kept elevated as much as possible and use ice packs to help minimise swelling.
Since we are all different with different health, fitness and motivation levels and the complexity of knee surgery varies with each operation, the recovery procedure and recovery time can vary. The following are guidelines only and can vary from case to case.
For the first three to four weeks after the knee replacement, walking with aid of crutches or a walker is necessary.
After that period the use of a cane is recommended for two to three weeks.
Usually, after around 8 weeks, most people can walk unaided.
It generally takes from 6 to 12 months for the knee joint to heal completely. This time frame is dependent on the knee exercises and rehabilitation program being followed and on the knee not being damaged by trying to pursue some activities too soon.
The level of mobility of the knee following the surgery varies from person to person, however, most people should be able to bend the repaired knee joint to 90 degrees with two to three weeks after their knee replacement surgery. Eventually, many will get over 110 degrees of motion in the repaired knee.
It should be possible to return to jobs that are sedentary by 6 weeks after surgery. More physical jobs should be looked at on an individual basis in conjunction with your health care professional.
After about 12 weeks, most people are back to their normal activities and the pain experienced before the knee replacement has usually disappeared by this time.
It is important to remember that the components used in the knee joint prosthesis are not able to heal if the knee is damaged and so common sense must prevail when considering undertaking leisure, sporting and employment activities to lessen the risk of injury. Here is a list of recommended activities, activities that are allowed in moderation and ones that should be avoided altogether.
Recommended activities
* Swimming and water aerobics
* Cross-country skiing
* Golf
* Dancing
* Cycling
*Using training machines like cross trainers and exercise bikes
* Desk work
Permitted: Allowable in moderation:
* Hiking
* Sports like gentle tennis or gentle downhill skiing
* Jobs that do not require heavy lifting (driving, walking, standing etc).
These activities should be avoided at all costs:
* Jogging or running
* Impact exercises
* Contact sports and those sports that put a lot of stress son the knee through pivoting or twisting e.g. basketball, squash, football etc.
* Heavy labor and lifting.
With the advances made in total knee replacement surgery procedures and prosthetics, almost full use of the knee can be expected for many years.

Social media attribution is BIG news.
Marketers are struggling to attribute revenue to social channels, and lack of definable ROI is one of the major reasons that businesses cut back on social investment.
I spend a lot of time looking at our own social attribution, but it strikes me that in many cases, the closer I look, the less clear a picture I have.
This isn't because the figures I have to work with aren't clear.
It's because, in a lot of cases, they might not be true...

Much of the attention lavished on social networks as marketing platforms focuses in on large brands, many of which have invested heavily in these channels and can boast about large audiences.
One of the most popular social networks with brands has been Twitter, which is now generating hundreds of millions of dollars a year in ad revenue and may go public in the next year.

In 2011, marketers began saying that "content marketing is more important than advertising" and given the growth of content marketing in 2012, it would appear that they meant what they said.
And not just in the consumer space. Although selling content marketing to leadership has been a challenge for some B2B marketers, the use of content marketing at B2B organizations is growing rapidly.

According to Econsultancy's recently published Content Marketing Survey, the number of search queries for the phrase 'content marketing' has more than doubled in the past two years, a reflection of the fact that more and more companies are turning to content marketing to promote their wares.
When used effectively, content can be one of the most powerful marketing tools, but many companies dipping their toes in the content marketing water are making huge mistakes in how they develop and execute their strategies.

Advertising guru Sir Martin Sorrel talked about the 'four grey swans' affecting the global economy when he released WPPs quarterly figures last week.
Grey swans being known issues and black swans being unknown, unpredictable events. It was Rumsfeld-esque.
If we zoom into our own world there is a long list of things for marketers to be thinking about in a digital world which is changing more rapidly now than at any time in the last ten years.
But for me there is one big 'grey swan' - and that is how we measure value.

By the time Republican Sen. Ted Cruz arrived for an event at a gun manufacturing business outside Austin, there was a healthy-sized, cheering crowd to greet him. One constituent even held a handmade sign saying, "Ted Cruz Rocks."
The scene had the look and feel of a campaign event. Except that the freshman senator isn't up for re-election for six years.
Instead, the Texans were there to applaud their senator's head-turning performance in Washington even though he's only been in office for a month.
In that short time, Cruz has made a name for himself, joining only two others to vote against John Kerry's nomination for secretary of state, aggressively defending gun rights in a high-profile gun violence hearing, and perhaps most notably trying to take down defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel.
Cruz stands out in a body where freshmen senators have traditionally been encouraged to start out being workhorses not show horses. But in an interview with CNN, he was unapologetic.
"At the end of the day I was elected to represent 26 million Texans and to speak the truth. You know, I think a lot of Americans are tired of politicians in Washington in both parties who play games," Cruz said.
The 42-year-old Cuban-American, the first Hispanic senator from Texas, studied free market principles and memorized the Constitution as a teenager, thanks to the encouragement his father, a Cuban refugee.
He was a debate champion at Princeton and attended Harvard Law School, eventually becoming solicitor general of Texas, where he argued for states rights and religious freedom before the U.S. Supreme Court.
When the 2012 campaign season came around, he mounted a challenge from the right against Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, the GOP favorite to take the state's open Senate seat.
With the help of an intense grass roots effort from tea party groups, Cruz came from virtually nowhere to beat Dewhurst, which gave him a lock on the general election in the reliably Republican state.
Supporter: 'A great messenger for ideas'
"Ted Cruz is a different unique candidate and a different senator just because of the fact that he's the total package. He's brilliant, he's a great messenger for ideas, he's a true believer, and he's a guy that you never have to wonder about how he's going to vote. Ted Cruz is really the quintessential tea party candidate and tea party U.S. senator," said Brendan Steinhauser, a leading Texas tea party activist who worked to get Cruz elected.
Steinhauser says he and others like him could not be more pleased with Cruz, saying their time and effort in getting him elected is paying off.
But while conservatives who fueled Cruz's come from behind win are ecstatic that he's been so vocal so fast, senior members of the Senate hardly share that enthusiasm.
Cruz angered senators in both parties by demanding to know -- without evidence -- if $200,000 Hagel made from speeches came directly from Saudi Arabia and North Korea.
That earned him a public smackdown from Republican John McCain, R-Arizona, despite the fact that McCain, too, opposes Hagel's nomination.
"No one on this committee at any time should impugn his character or his integrity," McCain said of Hagel.
Democrats suggest Cruz is engaging in McCarthyism by maligning Hagel's character with unsubstantiated claims and questions.
"The attention that has focused on me in my opinion is actually primarily being driven by an effort to distract from the merits of the Hagel nomination," Cruz told CNN about those accusations.
In fact, when it comes to his controversial role in the Hagel nomination fight, Cruz is mounting a vigorous self-defense.
Although he had already conducted a news conference on various topics, after a tour of the gun manufacturing business, Cruz made a point of calling reporters, mostly from local Texas news organizations, back over to defend himself on Hagel.
"Washington is a rough and tumble place, and I certainly don't mind if some will take shots at me. What I do think is unfortunate is if the coverage of the political game overshadows the substance," argued Cruz, who went on to reiterate his concerns about Hagel's views on Israel and the broader Mideast, and his refusal to turn over information about payments Cruz suggested came from foreign governments.
Senate Democrats say the request for that information goes beyond the scope of what is traditionally asked of defense secratary nominees. Cruz argues Hagel could put concerns to rest by simply volunteering information beyond what is required, as other nominees of both parties have done in the past.
Attacks from establishment burnish appeal to Cruz's core
Cruz clearly understands that the more he is attacked by the so-called establishment, the more popular he is with his core conservative supporters inside Texas and around the country.

I was very pleased to open the package up and find an adorable quilt and sham inside. I washed it immediately so my 3 year old daughter could start enjoying her new big girl bed. It washed up great, no loose threads or seams pulling apart best of all, no shrinkage! I painted matching butterflies and flowers on her yellow walls. It is now looking like a little girls room. I am very pleased with my purchase and will definately buy with confidence again.
My niece loved the comforter. Good quality. Kid approved and parent approved.
I bought two of these quilts one year ago for my 2 and 5 year old daughters' new shared bedroom. The quilts coordinate well with the room's white furniture and light blue/periwinkle wall color, despite the fact that the blue on the quilts is more acquamarine/teal. It has been easy to find coordinating sheets/blankets. The quality is excellent. These quilts have held up incredibly well after weekly washes in the regular cycle of our washing machine. The matching butterfly shams are a big hit with my daughters too.
I received my quilt,and was so happy with it..Its exactly what I wanted...Made very good and fits perfect....Although anything I order from Overstock.com,I am satisfied..Not once,was I not happy....So save time and gas and sit at home and order from them,you will be happy....
I debated for a while about purchasing this item as it states "Dry Clean Only" as the preferred laundering method. Due to some of the other reviews stating they had washed it, I made the purchase. When I took the quilt out of the box, I was THRILLED with how beautiful it is! the colors are vibrant, the designs are beautiful and my 3 year old daughter loved her new butterfly quilt! I washed and dried it on the gentle cycles and it came out great. The value of this purchase on Overstock could not be matched...I saved a significant amount of money purchasing it here. I'm a VERY satisfied customer!!
Love love love this quilt. I had gone through several other ones for my daughter, and nothing came as it looked online. This one, the colors were spot on, it's adorable, and it really brightens up the room.
This quilt is in my daughter's room. The colors are great and the quilt is super cute but after washing a few times the appliques are fraying. Most specifically on the pillow shams but also some fraying on the quilt. They did not use any backing on the appliques when constructing the piece.
I bought this set for my grandaughter and she loves it. Perfect for a little girl. Soft and warm and has held up to several washings without fadding or construction flaws.
Colors are nice and bright, quality is good even after washing several times, still looks great. I was able to buy the valence for the window. Just adorable. My daughter loves it.
Very cute bedding . Just like the picture . Perfect for a little girls room

A look inside the Smithsonian's Stratoliner.

A typical sleeper compartment had room for six to sit and four to sleep. The small windows were designed to give passengers in the upper bunk the same view as those in the lower bunk, who could look out the larger windows.

I saw this aircraft at Oshkosh 2003. Talking with the pilot, who was also flying it when it went down in Seattle,I pointed to a puddle of water under the plane and joked "looks like you didn't get all the water out of it yet.

I worked as an FAA- Designated Engineering Representative
on this airplane when it was returned to United States from
Haiti. The B-307 was certificated under Part 4a of the
Civil Air Regulations, which consisted of four Pages.
To-day an Airliner is certificated under Part 25 which is
a very large book.

As a kid riding with my parents from Everett to Tacoma, I can remember seeing one of two of these Stratoliners sitting outside one of the final assembly buildings, ready to be moved across the road over to the flight line area on the airport. During the 1948/1949 time period, I worked as a Boeing flight line mechanic on all of Northwest Airlines Stratocruisers. (About 15 to 20 years in between the two "Strato" models.)

I never saw it fly but there was what appeared to be a 307 parked on the ramp outside the Air America hangar at Ton Son Nhut during my 1968-69 tour. I've always wondered what happened to it.

SOURCE Diabetes Hands Foundation
Sept. 9 Forum Outlines Proposed Mandatory Surveillance Program of Blood Glucose Monitors; Patients Call for Greater FDA Enforcement
BETHESDA, Md., Sept. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Diabetes Hands Foundation commends the Diabetes Technology Society (DTS) for its proposed plan to develop a post-market surveillance system to ensure the accuracy and quality of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) systems. The proposed mandatory surveillance program was outlined at a Sept. 9 DTS forum in Bethesda, Md., to address growing concerns about ensuring the safety of people with diabetes who rely on SMBG systems to properly dose their insulin. The forum included perspectives from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – strong proponents of post-market surveillance – clinical chemists, physicians, device manufacturers and patient advocates.
"The Diabetes Hands Foundation believes a mandatory post-market surveillance program is a good first step toward improving blood glucose system accuracy, but will take time," said Manny Hernandez, Co-Founder and President of the Diabetes Hands Foundation. "In the interim, however, patients need additional protections. We look forward to working with FDA and DTS to identify effective near-term solutions."
At the forum, Diabetes Hands Foundation representative Bennet Dunlap articulated the need for patient awareness of the inaccuracy issue and greater enforcement on the part of the FDA.
Dunlap, along with the Diabetes Hands Foundation and others in the online community, created the StripSafely campaign to educate patients and caregivers about the inaccuracy issue, and urge regulators and Congress to take notice and action. Since June, participants have sent letters to Congress and more than 3,400 tweets have been issued under the StripSafely hashtag (#stripsafely) garnering attention from patients, industry and leaders in Washington.
StripSafely and the Diabetes Hands Foundation have a YouTube channel where patients can share their feelings about inaccurate meter readings and what that means for their care.
To learn more about the StripSafely campaign and how to get involved, visit www.StripSafely.com/join.
About Diabetes Hands Foundation
Diabetes Hands Foundation (www.DiabetesHandsFoundation.org) seeks to bring together people touched by diabetes for positive change so that nobody living with this condition ever feels alone. Through its Diabetes Advocates program, Diabetes Hands Foundation connects advocates dedicated to improving the lives of people living with diabetes in order to accelerate and amplify their efforts.
About StripSafely
StripSafely (www.StripSafely.com) is collaboration of the Diabetes Online Community (DOC) to call on Congress and the FDA to remove inaccurate blood glucose test strips from the U.S. market. The StripSafely campaign was created by Bennet Dunlap with support from the Diabetes Hands Foundation and DOC leaders Scott Johnson, Christel Marchand Aprigliano, Kerri Sparling, Cherise Shockley, and Kelly Close. StripSafely encourages community members to write letters, blog posts, and post social media content to the FDA, elected officials, and the news media to encourage action to address the issue of inaccurate blood glucose test strips. The campaign is not affiliated with strip manufacturers, the FDA or any other remotely organized group.

Limoncello is a staple at the end of meals in Italy, especially during the summer months but you can find it all year long. There are other after dinner digestives such as Amaro and Mirtu but Limoncello holds a special place in many people's hearts. Some 16 million liters of Limoncello are produced on a yearly basis.
Limoncello is synonymous with the Amalfi coast in Italy and the Campania region. Lemon cultivation began there in the Middle Ages. Lemons grow particularly well in this area thanks to the composition of the volcanic soil which also has considerable potassium within it.
Limoncello has also become very popular in the United States thanks to a number of producers, among them Villa Massa.
Villa Massa Limoncello is a made from the rinds of fresh Sorrento oval lemons, a protected variety of lemon with the PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) designation. The lemons are carefully peeled within 24 hours of harvest. Sorrento lemons are much desired for the quantity of essential oils that they contain in their rinds. At Villa Massa, the lemon rinds macerate in alcohol for three days. After several days the liquid is filtered and blended with a syrup of purified water and castor sugar. This product has 30% alcohol or 60% proof.
Villa Massa is located in the Piano di Sorrento on the Sorrento Peninsula. In order to receive the coveted PGI designation, the lemons must be grow in a particular way and using organic cultivation methods, free from pesticides. In fact, Villa Massa's Limoncello uses no perservatives, no artificial flavorings nor coloring agents. Just lemon rind, sugar and alcohol.
The Massa family has been located in the Sorrento Peninsula since the late 1800s but the company that makes Villa Massa Limoncello was founded in 1991. Still the recipe that they use to make the Limoncello is the same as the one created in 1890.
Limoncello can also be used in cocktails and in cooking recipes.

Grace Bay Resorts Community Foundation gives back to local youth |
Tuesday, 05 June 2012 14:26 | |||
Heritage, education and health were three areas assisted recently by the Grace Bay Resorts Community Foundation. The foundation made the donations June 1 to three worthy recipients. The Turks and Caicos Islands Sailing Association received a $300 donation to support its ongoing efforts to encourage young people to sail in the islands. Dr. Carlton Mills, spearhead of the foundation's efforts, said sailing is a part of the islands heritage and is an important organization to support. "We have invested heavily in a new fleet of boats to bring on the TCI youth into sailing, that is where we see the future of sailing for this island," said Robin Spruce, a representative for the club. The Turks and Caicos AIDS Awareness Foundation also received a $300 donation from the foundation. Terry Drummey, representative for the TCAAF, said he was very grateful to Grace Bay Resorts CEO Mark Durliat and his team for their ongoing support. "For over 13 years, every time we call him up and ask him for anything, he is on board all the way," Drummey said. A former maintenance department employee was also honoured with a $5,000 scholarship toward his studies in electrical engineering. Ira Baptiste, a student in St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada, said he was so very grateful for the support of the foundation. "It shows they really care about me and my education," he said. Baptiste's mother, Sonia Bien-Aime, said she is not only grateful for what the foundation has done for her son, but what they are doing for the community at large. "Especially given the economic downtown, it is very difficult for anyone to even think of a scholarship at this point," she said. "And for Grace Bay (Resorts) to make such a commitment to education, to the school and the island on a whole we consider this a great deal." Last year the foundation donated $100,000 to local schools and offered several scholarships for local students to attend the TCI Community College. It has also been active in all of its properties, giving opportunities for local students to serve internships during their vacations, gaining experience in the country's number one industry — tourism.

Happy Thanksgiving and Chanukah from all of us at Norman Rockwell Museum. The Museum will be closed on Thursday, November 28, but open this weekend from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. We welcome you and your family for a visit during this start to the holiday season.
Norman Rockwell Museum presents the world's largest collection of original Norman Rockwell art, including beloved paintings from The Saturday Evening Post and the Four Freedoms, and the best in the field of American illustration. Experience Rockwell's art, life and legacy in the artist's picturesque New England hometown of Stockbridge, Massachusetts nestled in the culturally rich Berkshires.
Making Norman Rockwell Museum Accessible
This year, Norman Rockwell Museum has a unique opportunity to broaden physical access throughout our beautiful campus in Stockbridge, and around the world with digital access – and we need your help.
Norman Rockwell Museum Presents "Dancing Princesses: The Picture Book Art of Ruth Sanderson"
A renowned fantasy artist and illustrator of children's literature, Ruth Sanderson has created imagery for more than 75 picture books, many of which bring classic fairy tales to life. Norman Rockwell Museum will present "Dancing Princesses: The Picture Book Art of Ruth Sanderson" from December 7, 2013 through March 9, 2014.
Remembering John F. Kennedy
Norman Rockwell captured the likenesses of many national figures during his career, and in 1960, he was commissioned by The Saturday Evening Post to paint portraits of Presidential candidates Senator John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard M. Nixon. To prepare for the painting of Kennedy, Rockwell arranged to pose and photograph Kennedy at his home in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.
Uncovering the Treasures of the Famous Artists School Archives
Norman Rockwell Museum will be receiving a donation of the Famous Artist's School's magnificent archive, which offers a unique glimpse into the inner workings of mid-twentieth century illustration. The archive is a treasure-trove; with one-of-a-kind gems waiting to be found in every drawer. We now have a new perspective into the interactions between Norman Rockwell and his contemporaries.

Charles and I have been emailing back and forth about the security of LDAP and my incorporation of LDAP authentication into WordPress makes this issue even more important.
My question is this:
Could a hacker sniffing UA network packets intercept the traffic between, say, the TCF Web server and the LDAP server? And could he/she thereby discover userIDs and passwords?
What I worry about is that in LDAP authentication it appears to me that the userID and password are traveling across the network in plaintext — not hashed or encrypted. Is that right?
Perhaps I just don't understand how the authetication works!
Thanks for any enlightenment.

By Mayo Clinic staffAny intentional harm or mistreatment to a child under 18 years old is considered child abuse. Child abuse takes many forms, which often occur at the same time.
- Physical abuse. Physical child abuse occurs when a child is purposefully physically injured.
- Sexual abuse. Sexual child abuse is any sexual activity with a child, such as fondling, oral-genital contact, intercourse or exposure to child pornography.
- Emotional abuse. Emotional child abuse means injuring a child's self-esteem or emotional well-being. It includes verbal and emotional assault — such as continually belittling or berating a child — as well as isolating, ignoring or rejecting a child.
- Neglect. Child neglect is failure to provide adequate food, shelter, affection, supervision, education or medical care.
Most child abuse is inflicted by someone the child knows and trusts, often a parent or other relative. If you suspect child abuse, report the abuse to the proper authorities.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Cairo on November 20-21, 2012. She met with regional leaders, including with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President of the Palestinian National Authority Mahmoud Abbas, and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, to consult on the situation in Gaza.
Today, while in Cairo, Secretary Clinton and Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr announced an agreement for a ceasefire in Gaza. Secretary Clinton said:
"...I want to thank President Morsi for his personal leadership to de-escalate the situation in Gaza and end the violence. This is a critical moment for the region. Egypt's new government is assuming the responsibility and leadership that has long made this country a cornerstone of regional stability and peace. The United States welcomes the agreement today for a ceasefire in Gaza. For it to hold, the rocket attacks must end, a broader calm return.
"The people of this region deserve the chance to live free from fear and violence, and today's agreement is a step in the right direction that we should build on. Now we have to focus on reaching a durable outcome that promotes regional stability and advances the security, dignity, and legitimate aspirations of Palestinians and Israelis alike. President Morsi and I discussed how the United States and Egypt can work together to support the next steps in that process. In the days ahead, the United States will work with partners across the region to consolidate this progress, improve conditions for the people of Gaza, and provide security for the people of Israel. Ultimately, every step must move us toward a comprehensive peace for all the people of the region.
"As I discussed today with President Morsi, as well as Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Abbas, there is no substitute for a just and lasting peace. Now that there is a ceasefire, I am looking forward to working with the Foreign Minister and others to move this process."

1. Shop for meats labeled raised without antibiotics. Shooting up factory farm animals with antibiotics allows them to be raised in inhumanely close, hideously unnatural conditions where they'd otherwise get sick and die if they weren't preemptively administered this stuff. If more people demand drug-free meat, they'd have to improve the factory farm animals' living conditions. Which would be nice for them, and probably healthier for us, too.
2. Shop for meats raised on local family farms. Traditional farmers are more likely to practice compassionate farming techniques, raising their stock in more traditional fields and barns. The more that people buy their meats, the more local farmers there will be, and the less expensive their products will become. Then there will be enough suffering-free foods for everyone.
3. Shop for milk labeled no artficial growth hormones. The reason they use this stuff is to get more milk per cow, which seems like a great idea except that it often causes infected udders and then they have to treat the animals with those antibiotics again. Not to mention these hormones are banned in Japan, Europe and Canada. I interpret that as a sign.
4. Start eating at least one vegetarian meal a week. Heck, go crazy and even have a vegetarian day once a week. It will be healthy and delicious, and after all, it won't kill you. Or anyone else for that matter.
5. Try explaining to your beloved and pampered family dog or cat why people are allowed to mistreat factory farm animals so you can to eat meat every single day. Look ʻem right in the eyes to gauge their reaction to this and consider their response.
6. Remember that if whatever God you pray to did mean for people to eat meat, he/she certainly didn't mean for the animals supplying that meat to have to suffer for it. You might mention this to a factory farm CEO if you happen to see one on their private jet one day.
7. Don't shop for the cheapest meat you can find. There's usually a reason this meat is cheap (antibiotics, harsh living conditions, E. coli recalls, etc.). Believe us. Factory animals pay a big price for cheaply produced meats.
