Kathleen writes "April is National Poetry Month
The Poetcast produced by the Academy of American Poets for National Poetry Month will regularly showcase selections from the Poetry Audio Archive, as well as new work by contemporary poets.
April 2006, the Academy of American Poets will launch the first-ever Poetry Read-a-Thon. Geared for middle school students (grades 5-8), the Read-a-Thon's goals are to celebrate the reading of poems and writing about poems. In addition to emphasizing the pleasure and fun of reading poetry, the Read-a-Thon will facilitate the students' development of writing and comprehension skills."
kmccook writes "The Providence Journal, Friday, March 31, 2006, reports:
The Providence Public Library has repaid a library worker who was suspended for criticizing his bosses.
Michael Vallone, 54, a clerk in the technical services department, was suspended for three days without pay in January after he posted a critical letter on an internal Web site. Vallone's paragraph-long missive ended with, "PPL administrators: The light is shining on you and it looks ugly."
Library officials called the letter aggressive and threatening.
The United Service and Allied Workers Union, which represents library workers, filed a grievance with the National Labor Relations board on behalf of Vallone and a librarian who had been suspended in another incident.
Earlier this month, the union agreed to drop the complaint involving the librarian and the library settled with Vallone. He was repaid for the three-day suspension and the incident was removed from his personnel file."
mdoneil writes "Robert Muller head of the FBI said all agents to not have external email addresses because it may be a security threat.
"E-mails can also be the source of viruses," said Mueller. "They can be a source of worms. They can be used to launch denial of service attacks. And consequently, in our secure environment we have to use e-mail in a closed system, but also have access to e-mail outside. And we do have that."
The Tampa SAIC said everyone has email accounts in his office. For more read the BayNews9 story here.
Ya know, sometimes I just want to gouge my eyes out when I read such stupidity. If the FBI can't secure its network then why do I even bother. Who lets these clowns speak in public, we would be better off with Ice-T opening the new FBI office."
The newest version of Slashcode just got dropped into place this weekend by our Hosts and there's a few new features that you might want to play with.
The first is tagging. If you're not familiar with tagging already, you might find it an interesting idea. Tags have been around for a while as a system for users to categorize (aka catalog) web pages. It's hard to compare tagging to "real" cataloging, since tags are by nature uncontrolled, but you could think of tagging as a very chaotic form of cataloging. You are encouraged to use this feature to submit a handful of tags: brief labels that you think best describe any article. You might choose to say that this is an article about 'books' and 'google'
The Slashcode guys describe this as "all very beta", which means it's in the early stages of development, it may be buggy, and it might change substantially in the future. It also means it's short on a lot of really neat features it *could* be doing.
The core developers say they don't know exactly how this will all work, and a lot of it really
depends on how many people participate. If you choose to add your own tags, be aware:
It's still brand new, so any ideas you have on how it can be better used, please feel free to let me know.
You might also notice an odd title appearing from time to time on the index page. That's another new feature that allows sectional content to come out from hiding and show itself on the home page. CmdrTaco Explains All over on Slashdot. Essentially anything posted into the sections will peak out on the homepage now. It allows us to fit more good stuff into the same space. I'll be adding a few more new plugins soon that will add some new features that should be fun to use.
kmccook writes "From the the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR). The head football coach's salary would cover the salaries at doctoral institutions of...
three counseling psychologists or
four academic advisers or
four accountants or
three help desk managers .
The 2005-06 Administrative Compensation Survey report provides an overview of median salaries from all reporting institutions by affiliation, budget size and enrollment.

mdoneil writes "No, its not the Baltimore Catechism you'll need for this one, it is Webster's.
The Sisters of St. Walburg Monastery will be taking on the Boone County, Kentucky Librarians.
More from the Associated Press here.
I've got a fiver on the sisters."
JET writes "http://www.boingboing.net/2006/03/07/funny_handmad e_car_r.html
Over at boingboing.net, there is a link to a fake car inspection sticker where the 'artist' used a library bar code sticker. In the original post linked from boingboig, posters are debating what the library bar cose is supposed to be linked to. Can anyone shed any light on this?"
JET writes: Peanuts is rerunning the series of comic strips where Charlie Brown has lost a library book on their website. The storyline starts at this strip.
"10 Blogs To Read in 2006" came from my quest to find the people doing the most interesting and original writing on the web. Here is a group of librarians working hard to increase understanding our profession and it's place in the rapidly evolving online world. I tried to choose 10 writers who cover very different aspects of our profession, 10 sites that inform, educate and amuse.
You can think approach this list as just one man's limited understanding of what's being written by people writing about libraries on the web. I think you'll also find it a great place to find something new to read.
Most importantly I hope you'll use it as list you can send to your friends and coworkers who have a negative opinion of blogs.
Below you'll find expanded descriptions, and some thoughts on the creation of the list. -- Read More
Kathleen writes "The Civil Rights Project at Harvard University helps "renew the civil rights movement by bridging the worlds of ideas and action, and by becoming a preeminent source of intellectual capital and a forum for building consensus within that movement." Studies such as the Unraveling of No Child Left Behind contribute to the intellectual understanding of the effect of politics on human development. The Unraveling of No Child Left Behind: How Negotiated Changes Transform the Law By Gail L. SundermanThe intent of this report is to provide policymakers with information they can use to develop a systemic approach to correcting the flaws in NCLB by documenting the requirements that are difficult for states to implement and identifying areas where the law may not be working as intended. ....To improve NCLB, policymakers need to reexamine the core assumptions that underlie NCLB and reevaluate the mechanisms used by NCLB to improve schools and student achievement. To restore legitimacy to the process, policymakers need to include educators, experts, community leaders, and civil rights groups in an open and honest debate about what is needed to reform schools and improve student achievement."

Sen. Lindsey Graham's GOP challenger, Buddy Witherspoon, has released a new campaign ad. It was released to coincide with South Carolina's Republican presidential primary Saturday. The Senate primary is in June.Other Republicans are expected to join the race against Graham as well:
A former Republican National Committee member challenging Senator Lindsey Graham has released a television ad that calls Graham "too liberal."
The ad by Lexington orthodontist Buddy Witherspoon criticizes Graham for pushing a failed immigration proposal.
…Graham has campaigned with Arizona Senator John McCain, who also backed the failed immigration reform bill.
Here's Witherspoon's campaign site. Here's the ad slamming Graham as "too liberal for South Carolina:"
Remember: Birds of a feather…

Attention Deficit America
Excuse me, but the story is not CBS and the George W. Bush National Guard documents.
The story is: How did the US Congress, the opposition party, the news media, and the US public let the Bush administration start a war based on phony documents?
If someone deceived CBS and passed off forged documents as real, at least CBS consulted experts about the documents before going on the air.
Speaking of questionable documents, the Bush administration has swallowed a large number. What about the obviously forged "yellowcake" documents that were the basis for the "mistaken" claim that Saddam Hussein had a nuclear weapons program?
The Bush administration did not check out the "stovepiped" phony "intelligence" fed them by Iraqi exiles with an agenda and by neoconservatives determined to turn the "war on terror" into a war against Iraq, Iran, and Syria.
The Bush administration ignored all warnings from real experts and CIA and State Department analysts. Bush invaded a country that not only posed no threat to the United States, but also had no weapons of mass destruction and no connections to Osama bin Laden.
The Bush administration's forged war has cost more than 1,000 American families their sons, husbands, fathers, brothers and a few their sisters, daughters and mothers. Another 7,000-8,000 American soldiers have been wounded, more than half too grievously to be returned to combat. Many have lost arms, legs, eyes.
What have we achieved with these enormous casualties?
We have committed war crimes by bombing residential neighborhoods and killing thousands of women and children.
We have made ourselves infamous as prison torturers.
We have created an insurgency that we cannot put down.
We have given bin Laden an enormous boost in credibility and terrorist recruitment.
We have lost the world's sympathy.
We have aroused massive anger from Muslims the world over and started a process of Muslim reunification.
We have wasted $200 billion that had high opportunity costs in terms of real needs that went unmet.
We made these egregious mistakes because the Bush administration and the President of the United States used questionable documents that Dan Rather and CBS would have rejected.
You have to ask yourself, why is the front page story CBS? If CBS had forged the documents in order to intentionally mislead to the public the way the Bush's government used phony documents to start a war, yes there would be a story.
If someone fooled CBS with forged documents, the only story is: what was that person's agenda? Why did he do it? Did the forger intend it as an offset dirty trick to the "swift boats" dirty trick against Kerry, or was it a blow aimed at CBS?
The CBS report is about something we already know–the missing gap in Bush's National Guard service. If the CBS report fails to illume that gap, then the story remains to be told. News organizations should get off CBS and on the story.
Whether documents are forged or authentic, the CBS investigation of Bush's National Guard service is far less important than Bush's war based on intentional deception.
Will the American public focus long enough to demand the real story?

At the gym, try a basic plank for strong abs.
The best way to get a strong, stable core isn't doing hundreds of neck-crunching sit-ups. Holding the body in a plank position strengthens the abs, back, arms, and glutes. Remember to keep the body in a straight line from head to toes to get the most out of this static exercise move.
Gimme Ten:
Master the plank before attempting push-ups (which begin and end in the same position).
Loose and Limber:
Begin any workout with a dynamic warm-up to prevent injury.
Nice share!

Arnold T. Blumberg: Doctor of the Dead
This week Dave jets out to Baltimore to talk to media studies professor Arnold T. Blumberg about Dave's favourite subject: the zombie apocalypse. They talk about why a college course in zombies can help a student become a better citizen, top zombie flicks and the shifting zombie metaphor and what it says about society. It's a great talk, Arnold was an incredibly knowledgeable guest; in fact, you could say that he had a lot of braaaaaaaaains.

Queen Sondok of Silla
Her father was the king of the Silla kingdom, which had emerged in the south about 250 and 350 AD, and by the end of the 7th century would manage to unify the whole peninsula. Having no sons, he chose as his heir his daughter Sondok, which was no great surprise for a number of reasons. One was that women in this period had a certain degree of influence already as advisers, queen dowagers, and regents. Throughout the kingdom, women were heads of families since matrilineal lines of descent existed alongside patrilineal lines. The Confucian model, which placed women in a subordinate position within the family, was not to have a major impact in Korea until the fifteenth century. During the Silla kingdom, women's status remained relatively high.
There were other reasons, too, that led the king to favor Sondok. Early in her life she had displayed an unusually quick mind. One anecdote tells of the time the king received a box of peony seeds from China accompanied by a painting of what the flowers looked like. Looking at the picture, seven year old Sondok remarked that while the flower was pretty it was too bad that it did not smell. "If it did, there would be butterflies and bees around the flower in the painting." Her observation about the peonies lack of smell proved correct, one illustration among many of her intelligence, and thus ability to rule.
In 634, Sondok became the sole ruler of Silla, and ruled until 647. She was the first of three females rulers of the kingdom, and was immediately secceeded by her cousin Chindok, who ruled until 654.
Sondok's reign was a violent one; rebellions and fighting in the neighboring kingdom of Paekche filled her days. Yet, in her fourteen years as queen of Korea, her wit was to her advantage. She kept the kingdom together and extended its ties to China, sending scholars to learn from that august kingdom. Like China's Empress Wu Zetian, she was drawn to Buddhism and presided over the completion of Buddhist temples. She built the "Tower of the Moon and Stars," considered the first observatory in the Far East. The tower still stands in the old Silla capital city of Kyongju, South Korea.
Sondok's respect as a ruler may have been reinforced by the ancient tradition of female shamanism, which was prominent in Korea, and among some peoples still is. Up until Sondok's time, the word shaman was assumed to apply to women. Shamans had great power as recognized intermediaries between gods and humans. Some presided over national ceremonies, but most were a kind of family priestess, whose role usually was inherited. Through spirit possession, shamans performed healings and exorcisms, revealed causes of family strife and advised on their resolution, picked auspicious days for weddings or burials, conducted rituals to guarantee continual prosperity, and healed those who were broken in body or soul. As foretellers of the future, shamans had enormous power. Histories tell us that Sondok was revered for her ability to anticipate advents. Might it have been this more than any other attribute that led to her popularity as a ruler? If so, it is a prime example of a way time honored female tasks have helped women assume leadership roles.

Mit Lebhaftigkeit und durchaus mit Empfindung und Ausdruck [5'12] recorded 18 November 1949
Nicht zu geschwind und sehr singbar vorgetragen [6'32] recorded 18 November 1949
Other recordings available for download
|Angela Hewitt (piano)
The Piano Sonata in E minor Op 90 dates from 1814. For the past five years, Beethoven had not written a piano sonata (the last one was 'Les Adieux' Op 81a in 1809), and indeed these years saw fewer major works composed. His seventh and eight symphonies were written and published in 1811–12, but by the end of 1812 his creativity seemed to have dried up, and in 1813 he did not write any major work at all. Why was that? His health was not good for sure, but it seemed to be his mental state that was more worrying. On 27 May 1813 he wrote to Archduke Rudolph: 'A number of unfortunate incidents occurring one after the other have really driven me into a state bordering on mental confusion.' On that same day he travelled to Baden where his friends the Streichers found him 'in the most deplorable condition'. We now know that the whole episode with the Immortal Beloved must have taken place in July 1812 (the beloved most likely being Antonie Brentano) and it caused Beethoven enormous grief. The one time in his life when he was loved unconditionally by a woman had come to nothing. His brother Caspar Carl had also been terribly ill. His other brother Nikolaus Johann was having an affair with his housekeeper which enraged Beethoven so much that he sought a police order compelling the woman to leave town (in the end his brother married her to make it legal). Fortunately in the summer of 1813 he received a commission to write Wellington's Victory, which was a resounding success at its premiere and set him to work once more.
It seems that the E minor sonata was written in the summer of 1814, just after he had finished revising his opera Fidelio (its revival was as much a success as the premiere had been a flop). It is dedicated to Count Moritz von Lichnowsky (the brother of Prince Lichnowsky to whom the Op 26 Sonata was dedicated), and it was given to him as a surprise by Beethoven. A synopsis attached to this sonata that was circulated by Anton Schindler in his biography of the composer (1840) is, according to the Beethoven scholar Barry Cooper, pure hogwash (as is much else in the book). Schindler called its two movements a 'Struggle between Head and Heart' and 'Conversation with the Beloved', depicting the Count's personal situation at the time (he was then having an affair with a woman who was later to become his second wife). Perhaps it is more appropriate to think of what Hans von Bülow remarked: that the first movement was 'speech', and the second 'song'.
The tempo markings of each movement are given in German (as of 1814 this was Beethoven's preference rather than using the customary Italian). Mit Lebhaftigkeit und durchaus mit Empfindung und Ausdruck can be translated as: 'With liveliness and throughout with feeling and expression'. Even if this sonata is not quite in Beethoven's 'last' period, it is on the brink of it in many ways. The first movement uses very little material to express a great deal. We do certainly have the idea of two different characters engaging in conversation right at the beginning—one quite straightforward, the other pleading (made clear not only with the different dynamics but with different note lengths as well). The second movement switches to the major key (something which Beethoven used again in his final sonata, Op 111). Marked Nicht zu geschwind und sehr singbar vorgetragen ('Not too quick and in a very singing manner'), it is very Schubertian, and indeed the latter was thinking of it when he wrote his Rondo in A major for piano duet. It is in strict sonata-rondo form, with the main theme appearing three times in its original form, and once at the end starting with the tenor voice, giving it a beautiful warmth. Czerny advised finding different colours for it each time and especially not dragging the tempo. Some expressive counterpoint in the final pages is a hint of what will come in the final five sonatas. The end comes as a surprise—a slight accelerando followed by the briefest of goodbyes.

I can finally break the news about my new representation- I am excited to be working with Driscoll Babcock Galleries! The gallery is making a big move from the upper east side and is building out a new space on 25th st in Chelsea. It's a new world and new adventures and I thank all of my friends and colleagues for the love and support along the way.
Read more about gallery's transformation in the Wall Street Journal- here is the full article:)

Venerable Gallery In Modern Move
By JENNIFER MALONEY
New York's oldest art gallery is synonymous with the staid back rooms of Midtown art dealers, where the works of Old and New World masters trade hands in quiet, carpeted surroundings.
Now, Babcock Galleries is moving to Chelsea.
The space at 525 W. 25th St. for Driscoll Babcock Galleries.
The leap to the heart of the city's contemporary art scene—a neighborhood with a markedly different aesthetic than Midtown—marks a new era for Babcock. The gallery, which for 160 years has specialized in American artworks, is embracing a new look, a new name and a new expansion—into contemporary and international art. It is also expanding its stable of living artists.
Driscoll Babcock Galleries— renamed for its owner, John Driscoll—will open on Sept. 8 at 525 W. 25th St., on a block stacked with such galleries as Pace, Marlborough Chelsea and Nancy Margolis.
The owner's idea: to hang the work of contemporary artists side by side with historic works that explore the same themes.
"You can't create this great art in a vacuum," said Mr. Driscoll, 62 years old. "Our interest is in artists who are cognizant of art of the past and recognize its pertinence in their own work today."
And so he will move from galleries on Fifth Avenue near East 57th Street—decorated with imported wool carpeting and paint in shades of gray inspired by Cézanne's Aix-en-Provence studio—to a space with concrete floors, white walls and exposed ducts.
It's quite a change for a place that has kept the same phone number since 1956, and occasionally receives calls from former clients' great-grandchildren.
"Someone once said going into Babcock was like going into a white-shoe law firm," Mr. Driscoll said, acknowledging that he will be adding to his collection of edgy eyeglasses.
Knoedler & Co., founded in 1846, held the title of New York's oldest gallery until it closed last year. Babcock Galleries was founded by John Snedecor in 1852—18 years before the founding of the Metropolitan Museum of Art—on Broadway near East Eighth Street. From the beginning, it sought out the works of American masters—the likes of George Inness, John Frederick Kensett, Winslow Homer, Mary Cassatt and Childe Hassam.
Snedecor's Gallery gradually zigzagged uptown, and was renamed Babcock Galleries in 1918.
Works that today hang in the Met, the Brooklyn Museum and the National Gallery of Art, among others were sourced by Babcock.
Mr. Driscoll bought the gallery in 1987. Although he followed its tradition of acquiring and sourcing American art, his personal interests are much broader. His own collection includes English, Japanese and Danish art, as well as 20th-century ceramics.
He had been mulling a move downtown for about seven years. He said he jumped at the chance to lease 4,700 square feet—with the possibility of 2,000 more—in a building owned by Related Co.
The gallery owns an unusually large inventory, numbering in the thousands of pieces. Although it has mounted shows and represents estates, it has had only a small stable of living artists. Mr. Driscoll recently signed the Brooklyn painters Jenny Morgan and Margaret Bowland, and said he is in discussions with other artists in the U.S., China and Europe. He will continue his back-office business sourcing works for private collections and museums.
Mr. Driscoll will be presenting a distinctly historic perspective in a neighborhood known for cutting-edge art.
David Maupin, of Lehmann Maupin Gallery in Chelsea, said the idea is compelling.
"I think juxtapositions of different periods in our history are always interesting, as long as they are done well," he said. "I look forward to seeing it."
Jenny Morgan, a figurative painter, said she left Like the Spice Gallery in Brooklyn to sign with Mr. Driscoll last month.
"There's a lot of knowledge and experience behind him," she said. "It's really exciting."
Ms. Morgan, who said she draws inspiration from the masters and as well as contemporary portrait painters, said of her decision to join the new venture: "Honestly, it was just instinct. It felt correct."
Walking through his new space, which is still under renovation, Mr. Driscoll described a glass wall that will enclose the gallery's archives, which go back 150 years.
The design for the main gallery includes LED lights and a metal mesh ceiling, only partially obscuring the "spaghetti" of pipes and ducts above, he said.
And he will keep the phone number from 1956. "Every time that number lights up, we know it's a phone call from another dimension," he said.

Because of the miracles of the internet, I'm posting this from London! It was a pretty long flight but everything went really smoothly, I just poured a nice hearty glass of some duty free scotch I bought and as I dopily type this, I'm probably going to try to caught up on the day of sleep I lost.
DeVries is back! I like him, I've always felt he was scrappy and a good locker room guy; He got hurt pretty badly and we were very concerned here at sidelion, I looked to be career threatening; Fortunately he'll be back for one more, he signed a 1 off deal so hopefully he'll shore up some depth on the D and I wish him good luck. Have a good season big D!

Gylfi Þór Sigurðsson (born 8 September 1989) is an Icelandic footballer who plays for Swansea City, on loan from 1899 Hoffenheim, as an attacking midfielder. He is a specialist on set-pieces and possesses great long-range shooting ability. He has been voted player of the season for two consecutive seasons for Reading and Hoffenheim respectively.
Born in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland, Gylfi played for hometown side FH before joining Breiðablik and was an Icelandic under-17 international. He had spent time on trial with Preston North End and Arsenal before signing for Reading on an Academy scholarship on 1 October 2005. He spent three years playing for the youth and reserve teams. Prior to the 2007–08 season, he and five other youngsters were given professional contracts.
Ahead of the 2008–09 season, Gylfi was assigned the number 34 shirt for Reading, and he was an unused substitute in the club's 2–1 away win at Dagenham & Redbridge in August 2008. Two weeks later, he made his debut in Reading's League Cup match against Luton Town, coming on as a 59th minute substitute. He scored a penalty in Reading's penalty shoot-out against Stoke City in the League Cup, after coming on as a substitute. In order to gain first-team experience, Gylfi signed for Shrewsbury Town on a one-month loan spell, and he scored on his league debut against Bournemouth in October 2008. He made a total of six appearances during his time at Shrewsbury, scoring one goal. He returned to his parent club and featured in Reading's 2–0 loss to Cardiff City in the FA Cup. In February 2009, Gylfi joined Crewe Alexandra on an emergency loan move, and he made his debut two days later against Brighton away, scoring in the 89th minute in Crewe's 4–0 win. In March 2009, Gylfi's loan was extended until the end of the season. He scored two further goals for Crewe, against Milton Keynes Dons and Cheltenham Town respectively, but could not prevent the club's relegation to League Two.

A Good Fear
today's reading.
Psalms 128 Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways...
the blog.
Two times in Psalm 128 we see that "fearing" the Lord is a good thing. "Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways!" (vs.1). "Thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord" (vs. 4). So it's important for us to understand what "fearing" the Lord means. The most common definition or understanding is to be afraid, alarmed or concerned about danger. In my mind, that doesn't fit or really make sense here. What does make sense for me is fear meaning reverence, awe and respect.
So what does "fearing" the Lord mean to you? How do you demonstrate this to the Lord? What about to those around you? Tami W.

Unable to find Official Windows 7 Ultimate N x64 ISO
I am not able to locate my DVD of Windows 7 Ultimate N x64 (English), so have resorted to looking for the ISO online. I have the official CDKEY.
Based on my search online so far, Microsoft seems to have made available the ISO of various versions of Windows for people to download and install with their authentic CDKEY. The version I am looking for is not one of them. The Professional N x64 version is available but I doubt that my CDKEY will work with it. Also I tweeted this question to @MicrosoftHelps and all they told me was to call Microsoft where I am located and to tweet back how it goes. Suffice to say I was very disappointed with such pathetic customer service, considering their XBOX support is really awesome!
Any ideas on where I can find the ISO file? Thanks in advance everyone.

Sen. Jim Banks, R-Columbia City, has introduced legislation in each of the last two sessions of the General Assembly that would allow college students to carry guns on campus. But a new survey by Ball State University shows that students don't want guns on campus.
The survey, of 1,649 undergraduates at 15 Midwestern public universities, found that 78 percent of students oppose concealed handguns on campus. Seventy-nine percent said they would not feel safe if faculty, fellow students and visitors carried guns on campus. Ninety-six percent believe concealed-carry permits should require firearms training.
The guns-on-campus legislation has ties to the National Rifle Association and the American Legislative Exchange Council, the corporate-controlled group that drafts model bills for lawmakers to carry in their respective states. After mass shootings at Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University, ALEC adopted the "Campus Personal Protection Act," proposed by the NRA. It would allow any concealed carry permit holder to bring guns on college campuses and would prohibit any institution from restricting that right. Banks is a member of Indiana's ALEC delegation.
He told The Journal Gazette last year that he filed the bill because students told him they would feel safer on campus if they could carry guns. Banks wouldn't say whether the ban on guns at the Statehouse should be lifted.

Echo Chamber: Morrissey Says Coachella Offered to Go Vegetarian for the Smiths
By Jenn Pelly on October 1, 2012 at 11:40 a.m. EDT
"Interestingly the agents for Coachella offered a 100% vegetarian event... if I would agree to headline with Johnny Marr as the Smiths. Fascinatingly they made it clear that they would 'not require' the Smiths' bass player or drummer... which I thought certainly said something."
-- Maybe this is what will finally get the Smiths-- or at least Morrissey and Johnny Marr-- back together. Do it for the animals! (Via Australia's Herald Sun.)
The Smiths Definitely Not Reuniting
By Laura Snapes on April 26, 2012 at 8:21 a.m. EDT
Update: Johnny Marr has posted on his Facebook: "The rumour of the Smiths reunion is untrue. It's not happening."
Cue a tirade of "what, by hologram?" jokes: British website Music-News.com reports that the Smiths are in talks to reform for a major fall tour, based on "a source" reporting that the band have been discussing the notion with a "well known promoter." There's little to make the story seem anything but spurious at this stage, particularly given the assertion that the move was inspired by the Stone Roses' reunion. Johnny Marr tweeted at 12:51 GMT:
Echo Chamber: Johnny Marr
By Carrie Battan on March 1, 2012 at 12:20 p.m. EST
"We won't be reforming this week. Maybe if the government stepped down. If this government stepped down, I'll reform the band. How's that? That's a fair trade, isn't it? I think the country would be better off, don't you? I'll do it if the coalition steps down."
-- Johnny Marr on what it'll take to get the Smiths back together. (via NME)
Johnny Marr Banned From Driving
By Carrie Battan on December 5, 2011 at 3:00 p.m. EST
Rock stars-- they're just like us, speeding tickets and all. Johnny Marr, ex-guitarist for the Smiths, Modest Mouse, and the Cribs and current member of the Healers, was caught doing 72 miles per hour in a 40 mile per hour zone, the Daily Mirror reports (via NME). He's been banned from the wheel for 56 days after pleading guilty. He was also fined £535.

Massive Smiths Box Set on the Way
By Tom Breihan on July 27, 2011 at 5:55 p.m. EDT
As the Morrissey fan site Morrissey-Solo points out, Rhino is preparing to release a gigantic box set containing basically everything the Smiths ever did. The set, titled The Smiths Complete - Deluxe Collectors Box Set, features remastered versions of eight albums (on CD and vinyl), as well as reproduced versions of 25 (yes, you read that correctly, 25) 7" singles, and all sorts of other stuff. Seriously, it's gigantic. I's limited to 3000 copies worldwide and expected to ship October 3.
Morrissey Disses British PM, Royals, Bryan Ferry
By Ryan Dombal on December 6, 2010 at 2:30 p.m. EST
British Prime Minister David Cameron likes the Smiths. But the Smiths do not like David Cameron. On the heels of Johnny Marr's anti-Cameron comments last week, Morrissey wrote a lengthy letter condemning the PM as well. "I would like to, if I may, offer support to Johnny Marr who has spoken out to the media this week against David Cameron," Morrissey wrote. "With fitting grimness I must report that David Cameron hunts and shoots and kills stags-- apparently for pleasure. It was not for such people that either Meat Is Murder or The Queen Is Dead were recorded; in fact, they were made as a reaction against such violence."
The barbs did not stop there...
Echo Chamber: Johnny Marr vs. British Prime Minister David Cameron

"David Cameron, stop saying that you like The Smiths, no you don't. I forbid you to like it."
-- Former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr is none too pleased with the fact that current Conservative British Prime Minister David Cameron loves the Smiths and can't stop talking about it. Hey, perhaps the Smiths need to reunite to solve this problem! Maybe? (via @johnny_marr via Prefix)

Johnny Marr Talks About the Cribs and Modest Mouse, Not About the Smiths
By Tom Breihan on October 15, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. EDT
Photos by Pat Graham
Johnny Marr came to prominence in the 80s playing guitar in a little band called the Smiths. When that little band broke up, he went on to work with the everybody from the Talking Heads and Pet Shop Boys to Beck and Oasis. He founded Electronic with Bernard Sumner and released a solo album with his band the Healers. More recently, he joined the Pacific Northwest indie powerhouse Modest Mouse.
The latest notch on Marr's resume came when he joined the brotherly Brit-punk band the Cribs, playing on their new album Ignore the Ignorant. This summer, we talked with Cribs bassist/vocalist Gary Jarman about what it's like to have a legend in the band. And earlier this week, we got Marr himself on the phone to talk about everything he's been up to lately.
A word of advice: don't ask him about the Smiths.

Before, after
For two years I lived on the top floor of a house with a family downstairs. Whenever they left town, they would let me use their washer and dryer.
But I don't mind going to a laundromat; what I really hate is washing dishes. So late into the two years I figured out that I could take all my dirty dishes downstairs, in a laundry basket, and use their dishwasher.
It felt like a sneaky or intrusive thing I was doing, more so because the dishwasher was full. Personally, I wouldn't want some stranger touching all of my clean dishes. So I did the most obvious thing: I took a picture of how the family's dishes were arranged in the dishwasher, then I carefully removed them and stacked them on the counter, washed my dishes and took them back upstairs, then replaced the family's dishes in the dishwasher according to the photo, which took longer than one would imagine.
Inspect the photos. I think you will agree that I did a great job.

Amazon.com de-gays search results, sales rankings
What do Radclyffe Hall's classic lesbian novel The Well of Loneliness and Ellen: The Biography have to do with gay porn?
You'd think the answer would be pretty much "nothing." But if that's true, why would Amazon.com strip the sales ranks of those books as well as almost all gay and lesbian books on their site — including Rita Mae Brown's Rubyfruit Jungle, Sarah Water's Tipping the Velvet, Jeanette Winterson's Oranges are not the Only Fruit and James Baldwin's gay classic Giovanni's Room — at the same time it's removing the sales rankings for adult novels?
This is obviously a big problem for authors, but where it really impacts readers is that those sales rankings dictate search returns on the site — in other words, books that have low or no sales rankings turn up much lower in search results, if they turn up at all.
You can only find the de-ranked books if you both search by title and choose the search category "Books." If you do a generic title search from the Amazon front page without specifying that it's a book search, you will not find the de-ranked books among the top results (or anywhere on the first page of results, in some cases). Which means that not only will those who browse Amazon.com's "top sellers" lists in various genres never come across any of these books, they may not even find these books when they're deliberately looking for them.
This appears to have started as early as February, but it's become a high-profile issue this weekend as more and more people have blogged and twittered about it (it's the number-one trending topic on Twitter today, via the hashtag #amazonfail).
And it's not just fiction. The blog Meta Writer noted that affected titles also include The Advocate College Guide for LGBT Students and The Dictionary of Homophobia: A Global History of Gay & Lesbian Experience.
And indeed, not one of those books has its sales ranking listed.
Neither do Kate Bornstein's Gender Outlaw, Katherine V. Forrest's detective
novels or Leslie Feinberg's Stone Butch Blues.
Asked "What's up with that?" by a number of authors, Amazon sent out a form response:
In consideration of our entire customer base, we exclude "adult" material from appearing in some searches and best seller lists. Since these lists are generated using sales ranks, adult materials must also be excluded from that feature.
It's hard to know what's more disturbing: That they're removing gay and lesbian books from their search results and sales rankings in the first place, or that they're categorizing anything about our community and our lives in the stigmatized "adult" category even when there's nothing "adult" about it.
I mean, in what universe are books like The Lesbian Parenting Book: A Guide to Creating Families and Raising Children and that G-rated chestnut Patience and Sarah "adult" books?
Meanwhile, Hitler's Mein Kampf, Speechless: Silencing the Christians: How Liberals and Homosexual
Activists are Outlawing Christianity (and Judaism) to Force Their
Sexual Agenda on America and Playboy: The Complete Centerfolds are all considered acceptable for all ages and retain their sales rank and search results prominence.
I checked the gay young adult titles by AfterElton.com's Brent Hartinger, and they still have their sales rankings. But a few other YA titles I looked at didn't, including Sandra Scoppettone's lesbian-themed Happy Endings are All Alike and, ironically, The Heart Has Its Reasons: Young Adult Literature with Gay/Lesbian/Queer Content, 1969-2004.
Neither did Taking a Chance on God: Liberating Theology for Gays, Lesbians, and Their Lovers, Families, and Friends or Heather Has Two Mommies, which has got to be one of the most banned books in American history.
Nice company you're in, Amazon.
Amazon.com has not responded to a request for a comment by AfterEllen.com.
UPDATE #1: Here's the response Christie Keith received from Amazon: "Thanks for your message. There was a glitch with our sales rank feature that is currently being fixed."
UDATE #2: The Seattle PI and others have now received the following statement from Amazon spokesperson Drew Herdener:
This is an embarrassing and ham-fisted cataloging error for a company that prides itself on offering complete selection.
It has been misreported that the issue was limited to Gay & Lesbian themed titles – in fact, it impacted 57,310 books in a number of broad categories such as Health, Mind & Body, Reproductive & Sexual Medicine, and Erotica. This problem impacted books not just in the United States but globally. It affected not just sales rank but also had the effect of removing the books from Amazon's main product search.
Many books have now been fixed and we're in the process of fixing the remainder as quickly as possible, and we intend to implement new measures to make this kind of accident less likely to occur in the future.

any colleges that accept excelsior credits??
- 0Aug 27, '10 by tsbarbreI am currently in excelsiors lpn to adn program but I kind of want to get into a program that is accepted in all states since I might want to move to a state that doesn't recognize excelsior graduated nurses. Are there any colleges that transfer in excelsior students and accept the nursing courses taken? I'm ok if the A&P and micro aren't accepted as long as most of the nursing courses are. I would prefer an online program since I live in ohio. I know there is one college out there someone recommended a long time ago I just can't remember the name....
- 17,629 Visits
- 0Aug 28, '10 by agldragonRNunless you are planning to move to california, maryland, and virginia then yeah you should transfer to a different school. otherwise all other states are okay with excelsior. there are several states that would require you to put in rn hours in a different state before you endorse your license to them. plus the three states above can change their mind and allow us to practice in their state. good luck to you!
- 0Aug 29, '10 by agldragonRNQuote from lunahrnvirginia currently allows ec grad rns to endorse in with 960 hours of rn practice elsewhere.
very few schools accept nursing classes from other schools, excelsior or otherwise. not likely to happen.
wow really virginia now allows us to practice in their state? that's great! i commented with positive support on that virginia regulatory town hall page last month.
so lisa now only california and maryland we cannot practice at all, right?
- 0Aug 29, '10 by Pixie.RN Senior ModeratorQuote from agldragonyep, pretty much ... here's the list on ec's site: https://www.excelsior.edu/excelsior_...d_requirementsso lisa now only california and maryland we cannot practice at all, right?
- 0Oct 4, '10 by zeiquithe issue you will run into later with an ADN from EC is the credits. Most colleges do NOT accept EC credits since they are not grades. the tests do not count as classes. This means you will have very few credits usable to go into a BSN or RN-MSN program. EC is not the place to go if you are planning on furthering your education, which most hospitals are starting to expect such of their nurses.
Even schools who used to accept the credits are now risking their accreditation in doing so.
I have worked with people with such credits, and they do not qualify for completion programs for BSN or MSN, and usually have to retake classes, or start the BSN program from scratch at a local campus.
Just saw the thread and wanted to give you fair warning of issues you might encounter.
- 0Oct 4, '10 by Pixie.RN Senior ModeratorI'm an EC grad, and I applied to three different RN-BSN completion programs and was accepted by all three without an issue. Students actually do receive grades for EC exams and courses, and EC itself is NLNAC accredited.
Also, a friend of mine recently completed an ADN-to-MSN/FNP program as an EC grad.
Then there are the numbers of people I know on this distance learning forum who have continued their education ... Excelsior Grads - Where are they now? - Nursing for Nurses
Of course, your mileage may vary.
Are you a nurse, Zeiqui? To which programs were these nurses applying?
- 0Oct 4, '10 by zeiquiI would love to know what schools were accepting tests with no grades for credit. They are putting their accreditation at risk. And with the new push on capitol hill to tighten up on colleges, this will be changed again. Please let me know who has been accepting the credits (not the degrees, but the transfer of credits) from EC.
I work with universities and accreditation policies. EC, when not giving a final degree (BSN, MSN, etc), can cause issues with transfer of credit. accreditation allows the degrees to be recognized, and any classes that have actual grades can be transferred. But testing or courses that did not get grades, and adn's who were not give GPA's will find it hard to enter some programs.
of course, you can always find programs who will accept anything, but if they are not following accreditation rules on ToC's, then they might not be the best option down the road.Last edit by zeiqui on Oct 4, '10 : Reason: Monday morning mistype.
- 0Oct 4, '10 by Pixie.RN Senior ModeratorQuote from zeiquiWhere are you getting this "no grades" information? My transcripts have grades on them. I also had a GPA (a pretty decent one, too). I think you may have received some misinformation where EC is concerned.I would love to know what schools were accepting tests with no grades for credit.
- 0Oct 4, '10 by llg GuideQuote from agldragonvirginia has always allowed ec graduates to practice -- if they meet the required clinical hours. their requirements have not changed. the recent petition (that failed) was trying to get the requirement for clinical hours dropped.wow really virginia now allows us to practice in their state? that's great! i commented with positive support on that virginia regulatory town hall page last month.
so lisa now only california and maryland we cannot practice at all, right?

W. (pronounced "Dubya" note ) is a 2008 Biopic of George W. Bush that was directed by Oliver Stone and written by his Wall Street screenwriter Stanley Weiser.It tells the story of Bush's life from his college years to his Presidency, but is based around his administration's push for the war with Iraq. Josh Brolin stars as George W. Bush, with Elizabeth Banks as Laura Bush, James Cromwell as George H.W. Bush, and Richard Dreyfuss as Dick Cheney. It is a largely sympathetic portrayal of the man, but also has a bit of a satiric edge.The film is notable for being the first Presidential Biopic to be released while said President was still in office. Understandably, the film faced a good deal of controversy when (and even before) it was released. Conservatives accused it of being liberal propaganda, and many liberals accused Stone of being too soft on Bush. (Basically, the same criticisms Stone received for Nixon.) It recieved mixed, but still generally positive reviews, with lots of praise for the uncanny performances by Brolin, Cromwell, and Dreyfuss.Oliver Stone was later told by Bill Clinton that he had loaned Bush his DVD of W. and that Bush found some parts very sad but liked the film very much.

Regional News Update: SkyWest withdraws bid for ExpressJet
SkyWest last month withdrew its offer to buy Houston's ExpressJet after concluding that a new seven-year capacity purchase agreement entered by ExpressJet and Continental Airlines rules out any deal. "Although we continue to believe our offer represented a favorable opportunity for ExpressJet stakeholders, the execution of a new ExpressJet capacity purchase agreement removes a fundamental component of our offer," said SkyWest CFO Brad Rich.
Three days earlier ExpressJet had issued a statement saying it would continue to explore strategic and operational alternatives in response to SkyWest's April offer of $3.50 per share, which ExpressJet rejected.
It subsequently signed the new Continental Express contract, which calls for significantly lower service rates for the regional partner.

I *think* existing users can upgrade within the 18 months.
Tethering sucks tbh as its far far too much, they should have a day charge if you want, say a £1 per day to do it when you need to or well it should be free tbh.
I would like the extra storage space as 16gb is causing annoyences for me.

User-fee Fight Might Be the Toughest Yet
Business aviation interests have been victorious in their battles over the years to prevent the creation of general aviation user fees to replace the current fuel tax to pay for its share of ATC services. But at last week's NBAA Convention, business aviation trade group leaders warned that this time the battle could be the toughest yet. NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen said the airlines are advocating a system in which all aircraft pay the same fee regardless of size, whether it is a turboprop single or a 555-passenger Airbus A380. As illogical as that might sound, Bolen noted, "That idea is gaining some traction [in Washington, D.C.]." While Bolen pledged that NBAA and the General Aviation Manufacturers Association would continue to keep fighting in Washington for business aviation, he added, "We need strong grassroots participation from everyone involved in business aviation."
