Pony club riding center opens in McHenry County
• Paddock Hills Pony Club Riding Center open house Feb. 23
Online Staff Report
UNION, Ill. — Paddock Hills Pony Club Riding Center is the first of its kind in the region. The program gives area youth the opportunity to join a Pony Club without the need to own a horse.
Paddock Hills Pony Club Riding Center teaches youth, ages 4-25, riding, mounted sports, and the care of horses and ponies; thereby developing responsibility, moral judgment, leadership and self-confidence.
Just as in the traditional Pony Club, members of a Pony Club Riding Center move through the Standards of Proficiency; 10 levels of achievement demonstrating advancing skills in both riding and horse management. All members are encouraged to progress at a pace that is comfortable for them.
Tom Adams, United States Pony Clubs president, said, "In response to the changing demographics of our youth, the Riding Center concept was started to help provide the Pony Club program to those who may not have direct access to a horse."
According to Kim Cederlund, manager of Paddock Hills Pony Club Riding Center, providing a Pony Club Riding Center is the next logical step for Paddock Hills Equestrian Center, where eight school horses are boarded on the premises.
"By giving members access to our horses, we believe we can fulfill a need for students who love horses, but don't have the opportunity to join a Pony Club because they don't own a horse," Cederlund said.
An open house for Paddock Hills Pony Club Riding Center is scheduled 10 a.m.-1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 23, at 8510 Prairie Field, Union, Ill. Learn about Pony Club, meet the instructors, groom the horses, and see live demonstrations and mounted games. Enter the raffle for free prizes and giveaways.
For more information, call Paddock Hills at (815) 923-4755.

By Daniel Abadi
Editor's note: The piece below by Daniel Abadi first appeared on the Hadapt blog and is republished with permission here. The framework presented provides insight into the very dynamic market around "Big Data Innovators" and should be of use for classifying many other firms in this interesting space. -bg
Recently InformationWeek published a piece, authored by Doug Henschen, that listed 13 innovative Big Data vendors. The complete list is reproduced below:
1. MongoDB
2. Amazon (Redshift, EMR, DynamoDB)
3. Cloudera (CDH, Impala)
4. Couchbase
5. Datameer
6. Datastax
7. Hadapt
8. Hortonworks
9. Karmasphere
10. MapR
11. Neo Technology
12. Platfora
13. Splunk
These 13 vendors distribute 16 unique data management products (since both Amazon and Cloudera offer multiple distinct data management/processing systems), all of which push the boundary on Big Data management.
In this post I will attempt to subcategorize these 16 products into a competitive grouping, where products placed inside the same group can be considered replacements for each other (and hence are competitive), and each group is complementary to every other group.
Before starting this classification, I will remove three products that, while potentially being interesting from a Big Data perspective, are often used outside of what has become known as the "Big Data realm", and therefore their primary competitors did not make it on the InformationWeek list. These three products are Splunk (which typically competes with companies focused on the security, compliance, and IT operations management verticals), Amazon Redshift (which typically completes with traditional MPP database vendors), and Neo Technology (which, although usually classified as a "NoSQL database", its focus on graph data makes it highly unique from a technology and use case perspective relative to the other NoSQL databases on this list).
The remaining 13 products can be classified into four distinct groups:
1. Operational data stores that allow flexible schemas
2. Hadoop distributions
3. Real-time Hadoop-based analytical platforms
4. Hadoop-based BI solutions
Group 1 (operational data stores that allow flexible schemas)
This group is composed of database products that can be used to manage active data for dynamic applications with hard to define (or hard to predict) schemas. The database must be optimized for inserting, retrieving, updating, or deleting individual data items in real-time (latencies on the order of milliseconds), but should also support some sort of interface for performing analysis of the data stored within. The dynamic nature of the typical use case for databases in this group implies a NoSQL interface, and either a key-value or document-store retrieval model. From the InformationWeek list, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Couchbase, and Datastax all fit in this category. Although there are some significant technical differences between these products, they can nonetheless be roughly described as potential replacements for each other in Group 1 use cases.
Group 2 (Hadoop distributions)
The products in this group are designed for very different situations than Group 1. Hadoop is typically used for large scale data analysis and batch processing. Rather than inserting, retrieving, updating, or deleting individual data items, Hadoop is optimized for scanning through large swaths of data, processing and analyzing the data as it proceeds. Hadoop has become the poster-child for "Big Data" due to its proven massive scalability, and its ability to handle the "variety" aspect of Big Data (since Hadoop does not require data to fit neatly into rows and columns in order to be analyzed and processed). From the InformationWeek list, Cloudera, Hortonworks, MapR, and Amazon EMR all fit in this category.
Group 3 (real-time Hadoop-based analytical platforms)
Group 3 takes Hadoop to the next level, transforming it from a mere batch processing system to a full-fledged analytical platform that can answer queries in real-time. Furthermore, by adding a more robust SQL interface to Hadoop (in addition to industry-standard ODBC connectors), group 3 products help to hide the complexity of Hadoop and the need for Hadoop specialists, since traditional business intelligence and visualization tools are now able to interface directly with data stored inside Hadoop. From the InformationWeek list, Hadapt clearly fits in this category, and with certain caveats, so does Cloudera Impala (the caveats are that as of the time of writing this blog post (a) Impala is an extremely young codebase and is still only in beta (b) Impala only supports a small subset of SQL and does not support UDFs or other ways to combine structured and unstructured data in the same query, so calling it an "analytical platform" might be a bit of a stretch).
Group 4 (Hadoop-based BI solutions)
Often lumped together with group 3 products, group 4 products are often confused as being competitive with group 3 products. However, just as business intelligence tools and analytical database solutions are highly complementary and were often packaged together in the pre-Hadoop world, the same is true in the Hadoop/Big Data world. Therefore, Datameer, Karmasphere, and Platfora, all of which function as a business intelligence layer above Hadoop, are capable of working closely with the group 3 products (with announcements along these lines already starting to begin).
In conclusion, although "Big Data" is an enormous and rapidly growing market, one single data management software product is not going to rule the market. Rather, there are four major groups of data management solutions within the Big Data space; and while there is fierce competition within each group, at the macro level these groups can not only co-exist, but are highly complementary. In the long run, it is likely that the 2-3 leaders in each group will emerge and share the Big Data pie.

Congressman John Dingell, the longest-serving member of Congress in history, has some thoughts on dysfunction in Congress.

Glued binding. 256 p. From the Publisher With dashing originality and in prose that sings like an entire choir of sirens, Cynthia Ozick relates the life and times of her most compelling fictional creation. Ruth Puttermesser lives in New York City. Her learning is monumental. Her love life is minimal (she prefers pouring through Plato to romping with married Morris Rappoport). And her fantasies have a disconcerting tendency to come true - with disastrous consequences for what we laughably call "reality."Puttermesser yearns for a daughter and promptly creates one, unassisted, in the form of the first recorded female golem. Laboring in the dusty crevices of the civil service, she dreams of reforming the city - and manages to get herself elected mayor. Puttermesser contemplates the afterlife and is hurtled into it headlong, only to discover that a paradise found is also paradise lost. Overflowing with ideas, lambent with wit, The Puttermesser Papers is a tour de force by one of our most visionary novelists. "The finest achievement of Ozick''s career... It has all the buoyant integrity of a Chagall painting." -San Francisco Chronicle"Fanciful, poignant... so intelligent, so finely expressed that, like its main character, it remains endearing, edifying, a spark of light in the gloom." -The New York Times"A crazy delight." -The New York Time Book Review

Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams Rock Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy Bash
The Clive Davis-hosted pre-Grammy gala, which took place at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on Saturday night, often felt more like an unusually starry high school reunion than an industry mixer. With only a single award to get through and coming after a week's worth of Grammy Week events, the proceedings were focused entirely on musical performances and expressions of mutual admiration.
Inside the hotel's main ballroom, Pharrell Williams could be spotted dancing in the aisles and singing along as Lionel Richie performed "All Night Long"; John Fogerty interrupted his set to tell album of the year nominee Taylor Swift "my daughter loves you, and I know you're gonna win that thing tomorrow"; and Davis lead the entire ballroom in singing a round of "Happy Birthday" to Alicia Keys. Meanwhile, on the outside patio, Joni Mitchell dicussed Canadian politics, and two veteran hard rock guitar heroes giddily compared their respective electric weed-smoking gadgets as if they were talking shop on distortion pedals.
The evening kicked off with Recording Academy president Neil Portnow's presentation of the Grammys' Salute to Industry Icons honor to Universal Music Group chairman Lucian Grainge. In lieu of the "tribute video" common to such events, Grainge instead offered goofy footage of himself attempting to recruit U2, Rod Stewart, Swift, George Lucas and others to appear in his testimonial, only to be rejected again and again. (Also on the video: Ari Emanuel and Irving Azoff, the later of whom poked fun at their infamous email war of last year.)
Once onstage, however, Grainge spoke with thorough sincerity, saying, "Everything we do, we do for that one simple purpose: To bring music to the masses. And I will keep fighting on behalf of that mission, to the best of my abilities, for the rest of my life."
Beginning the evening proper, Davis was introduced by Jimmy Iovine, who recalled landing his breakthrough album producing gig -- for Patti Smith's "Easter" -- at Davis' behest. Ever the salesman, Iovine couldn't help but try to plug his newly launched Beats Music streaming venture, on which he noted, "you get paid for every stream, and you can applaud that...c'mon, applaud," to very moderate applause.
As usual, Davis spent the evening as a combination of emcee and cheerleader, showering praise on various notables and rattling off certain guests' accomplishments from the past year. Midway through, he took a moment to defend his loquaciousness, noting, "I promise I only talk until they tell me the next act is ready."
Early performances included Richie and Imagine Dragons, followed by multiple Grammy nominee Macklemore. Fogerty played a set of comparatively generous length, joined by both Jennifer Hudson and the Foo Fighters, while R. Kelly performed a new song written in tribute to Nelson Mandela.
Miley Cyrus unearthed a cover of the Dolly Parton classic "Jolene" during her three song performance, which was followed by Pharrell Williams, who closed his mini-set by ceding the floor to T.I. and Robin Thicke for "Blurred Lines," though Thicke opted to sing the song while wandering between tables, at one point pausing for some dirty dancing with an enthusiastic white-haired lass.
The number was rousing enough that Davis was forced to act the role of irritable headmaster, repeating "if you don't sit down, we can't continue with the show." Once peace was regained, 17-year-old chanteuse Lorde ran through "Royals," followed by Fantasia's take on "Stormy Weather". With the clock nearing 1 am, Davis closed the proceedings by nodding to the saddest event with which the event is now historically tied, displaying a vintage performance video of Whitney Houston on video screens throughout the ballroom.

Once the wind has been broken, it cannot be fixed.
Actually, on this batch I put 2 oz of the Norther Brewer in the liquor cooler (if this is the right term), pre-boil. A brewer from a local microbrewery suggested this.
I was wondering too, is the boil essentially for hop flavor & evaporation, or does it have another function?
The boil causes proteins to precipitate out of the beer - this is your hot and cold break. It also cooks off some bad tasting chemicals (i.e. DMS) and extracts hop alpha acids (bitterness). Oh an it makes the batch nice and sterile so you can try and make sure the only bugs that get into it are the yeasties.
There's probably some other stuff going on but this is what immediately came to my mind.
Do a search for FWH (first wort hopping) and mash hopping - adding the hops to the Hot liquor tank would roughly equate to mash hopping. People have various opinions about these practices - some (me) think it's a waste of perfectly good hops. Others swear it adds something unique or smooth to the beer.
I first used the small C-clamps used in woodworking to help regulate the outflow from the lauter tun during fly sparging. Worked pretty well, too.
Thanks for the tips on crimping the outflow, I'll try that next brew day.

Stan Getz - The Last
Recording (DVD-Video Concert)
Picture: C+
Sound: B- Extras: C- Concert: B
Though no one knew it at the time, saxophonist Stan Getz
performed what would be his last concert that was recorded in the aptly titles Stan
Getz – The Last Recording, which happened in 1990. He was gone a year later, but was best known
for big "crossover" hits like Desafinado in 1962 and the legendary The
Girl From Ipanema from 1964, with Astrud Gilberto on lead vocal. The latter's sudden revival in pop culture
is amusing, leaving something to contemplate at a later date.
Neither of those Antonio Carlos Jobim compositions are in
this set, but we do get:
1) Apasionado
2) On A
Slow Boat To China
3) Soul
4) Espanola
5) Coba
6) Seven
Steps To Heaven
7) El Cahon
8) Yours
& Mine
9) Voyage
10) Lonely Lady
11) Blood Count
12) What Is This Thing Called Love
13) People Time
14) Amourous Cat
Some of those (1, 5, 6, 14) are Getz originals, co-written
by Herb Alpert, Eddie del Barrio and for this concert, Getz and the band had a
great audience. The other five
bandmates are Kenny Barron (piano), Frank Zottoli (synthesizer), Alex Blake
(bass), Terri Lyne Carrington (drums), and Eddie del Barrio himself on
synthesizer as well. Though the box
credits the length at 93 minutes, the concert is actually a longer 103 minutes
in length, which shortchanges the content.
Hopefully, Geneon will correct this in the next batch of pressings.
The full frame 1.33 X 1 image is not bad for an old NTSC
taping, but shows its age and having watched so many 16 X 9 concerts in several
genres, had to adjust back to the "old square" as it were. The source is clean, but obviously
limited. The sound is once again a
choice between Dolby Digital 5.1 and PCM 16Bit/48kHz 2.0 Stereo, where the
Dolby has some more depth and range, but is missing out on some of the fullness
and choice detail that the PCM offers.
Though form an older recording, I wondered if DTS would have made a
difference. Likely, the answer is yes
and a historic piece like this should get that treatment sometime. The only extras are two segments of
music-accompanied crawl on Getz career and a segment dubbed "liner notes" that
could have been called liner quotes.
Still, they are good, if very basic.
This is the first of several titles from Getz on DVD-Video that we hope
to cover and are available now.

Travel websites with product videos are 64% more likely to turn a web visit into a booking, according to travel technology specialist Travel Systems Associates.
The company"s research shows that, since the advent of videos on social networking sites and the increased use of smart phones that take and play videos, live action on a travel company"s website is now essential.
"Online video is the new still picture," said the company"s director Richard Bristow.
"Over 35 hours of video are now uploaded to Youtube every minute of the day and people of all ages now expect to be able to see something in action before they buy it.
"The good news for the travel industry is that it has the perfect product for video. What could be more tempting than waving palms and a sun drenched beach on a cold damp British day?"
Travel Systems Associates has now launched a video division to provide the required content for websites and claims it comes at a "realistic price".
Bristow said video is gradually taking the place of the traditional brochure.
"It can be powerful, dynamic, touching and emotional in a way that brochure copy never can be. This translates to customers making more immediate decisions and significantly improving "look to book ratios for travel sites using video."

Coming back to civilian life brings new challenges, new opportunities, and compelling stories of courage and accomplishment.
Public media tells those stories so community members can better understand the veteran experience. And, through Veterans Coming Home, public media supports and engages veterans as they transition to civilian life.
Learn more about the kinds of support and resources available.
See how public media stations across the nation are honoring veterans.
Over the past five years, San Antonio has seen a sharp increase in the military community's needs for services due to the drawdown of forces.
This number is expected to grow significantly – between 2014 and 2017, an estimated 40,000 veterans and their families will settle in San Antonio, straining existing resources. Many leave the military with a sense that they are alone – that much of their struggles happen outside the purview of the civilian population. They feel isolated and disconnected.
KLRN, the Emmy award-winning public television station serving South Central Texas, plans to address these connectivity and awareness problems by producing a 10-part online series called, Coming Home San Antonio, which will share the intimate stories of veterans and their families as they return from conflicts abroad. Through these personal stories, Coming Home will look at the issues and challenges veterans and their families face as they try to re-integrate as a family while building a new life as civilians.

Brian and Kim Posten have been through a lot. For Brian, an accident in Iraq left him with a traumatic brain injury. For his wife Kim, the accident left her with a husband who needed help finding a new purpose and direction in his post-military life. Brian's challenge to adapt to civilian life are mirrored by the 1.5 million of other veterans who will soon be transitioning out of the military.
"I think part of the reason why I wanted to be a therapist was because I wanted answers. I wanted to fix myself and I wanted to fix everybody else but I needed the answers. And I wanted the quick-fix way of how to do it and I just thought maybe if I read enough books I could find the answers. And that's not true at all."

"I was a Fellow with The Mission Continues. They gave me something to do. They didn't just say, 'Take it easy. Decompress.' No, they said, 'You still have work to do. You don't have to wear stripes on your arms to go out and motivate people, to lead people, to make a change, to do something different."
Track American women's increasing participation in war — from Vietnam to the present — as nurses, soldiers, journalists, diplomats and spies. Among those featured are Linda Bray, the first woman to lead troops into battle, and Valerie Plame Wilson, whose career was sabotaged after she was "outed" as a high-level spy. Viewers hear from war correspondents Molly Moore, Clarissa Ward and Christiane Amanpour about life on the battlefield. The film shares the stories of military leaders who have broken through gender barriers, like General Angela Salinas, at her retirement the highest ranking woman serving in the USMC, and Vice Admiral Michelle Howard, the highest-ranking woman in the history of the U.S. Navy.
Craft In America: Service honors military men and women through an unexpected prism: craft. From the origins of the Army Arts and Crafts Program and the G.I. Bill to contemporary artists and veterans, the series celebrate the artists and techniques of American craft, documenting the power of the handmade to inspire, motivate and heal.

"I never want to pretend that I haven't gone through it; I've done way more self-destructive behaviors than I ever thought I was capable. One of the biggest blessings in my life has been the strength to be able to realize when I've needed help and when I've been able to ask for help."

Editor's Note: It has long been the contention of some observers that 'flash mobs' involving relatively innocuous activities such as pillow fights and line dancing are potentially precursor to much more insidious events. Given the situations described in the below article, it would appear that law enforcement will have to contemplate an escalation in the activities of such 'mobs.' As we have seen during the so-called 'Arab Spring' these past few months, whole revolutions can be managed via Twitter. What do you see on the horizon in this arena? Post your comments below.

Garry McCarthy vowed Monday to hunt down every last thug responsible for so-called "flash mob" incidents over the weekend and throw the book at them to get a handle on a problem that's damaging the reputation of downtown Chicago as a safe place to live, work, play and shop.

The world was a whole lot simpler back in 1999 – the economy was doing fine, MTV played music, and the Matrix was much less ridiculous without all that weird pseudo-philosophy from the sequels. There's a new watch face that can take you back to those relaxing days each time you look at your Android Wear watch. Yes, a Matrix watch face.
Perhaps you've tried the Minuum keyboard on your phone or tablet. It's designed to take up as little space as possible on the screen with just a single line of keys, which is great for smaller screens. How small, though? The developers think smart watch size sounds good, so they are working on Minuum for Android Wear. There's a beta you can try to get into as well.
Captain's log, stardate 45638.2. A scan of a long-lost pleasure cruise that exited Earth in the late twenty-first century has yielded some fascinating archaeological findings. In addition to a pair of primitive foot coverings that Commander Data identified as "Converse All-Stars," a complete and mint-condition collection of the classic mythological saga known as Animorphs, and a small, vibrating "Furby" that Mister Worf immediately eviscerated, we have discovered a piece of anachronistic human technology.
ESPN's Fantasy Football app isn't new to these parts. It's been up and down the gridiron more than once over the years, and it has no problem handling pigskin. But it did need to sit out a few games while its developers cracked out a much needed redesign. The latest app, which has been knocked from version 3.x back down to 1.0, looks like something better fit to play in the KitKat era.
Commandr expands on Google Now by giving its users the ability to toggle hardware switches and control music with simple voice commands. There isn't a standardized way for third-party developers to do such a thing, but that hasn't stopped this developer from coming up with a product worth watching. The original release was more cool than practical, but version 2.0 goes a long way towards correcting this.
Previously Commandr required users to say "Note to self" before every action, resulting in the very awkward, "OK Google, Note to self, turn off wifi." Now the middle bit is no longer required.
There's always a game on somewhere, and keeping up with all of the action doesn't come cheap. Watching the big event often requires a cable subscription, regardless of whether a fan is trying to watch on their television or a mobile device. 120 Sports offers a bit of a respite from this difficult situation by letting people keep up with the latest goings on in the sports world without having to cough up a cent.
Sometimes the name really does say it all. Calendar for Android Wear is a simplistic calendar that people with Android Wear watches can strap to their wrists. It shows the date, keeps track of events, and comes in one of five colors. The app doesn't do much else, but in this case, that's attractive.
The app's usefulness is limited out of the box, as users are restricted to a monthly view and must pay a single in-app purchase of roughly $2 to get access to the daily view with details.
Android Wear apps are continuing to flow into the Play Store, but Wear Mini Launcher might be the most interesting one yet. This app places a slide-out app list on your smart watch, saving you from diving into the options to access things by touch. It was a little wonky at first, but already it's shaping up nicely after a few weekend updates.
Google updated its official Camera app with Wear support recently, but that just makes the watch into a shutter button with image review. Wear Camera Remote is a proof-of-concept app that streams the viewfinder to Android wear and works as a shutter.

From VHS to DVD to Blu-ray and (legal) downloads, there have been a few TV shows that never made it to home-video, though the numbers are steadily decreasing. This year, Twin Peaks finally made the leap. Wkrp in Cincinnati finally got most of its music rights cleared, so it recently found itself on DVD. But this month comes the white whale, the 1966–68 pop-culture phenomenon Batman. Delayed due to complex rights issues that pitted DC Comics parent company Warner Bros. against Twentieth Century Fox for decades, the series has now been brought out in all digital formats. (If you've desired a box set whose packaging plays the "na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na … Batman!" theme and includes a Hot Wheels Batmobile, your dreams have been answered.) But after decades of being a punch line and an embarrassment to graphic-novel fans tired of "Wham! Pow!" headlines, is Batman worth a look, especially for the uninitiated?What's »

The Complete Jacques Tati (Criterion Collection) Every year Criterion seems to put together a collection of films that stands above the rest. Last year it was the Zatoichi collection of films, this year they celebrate Jacques Tati with a collection of his six feature films -- Jour de fecte, Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, Mon oncle, PlayTime, Trafic and Parade -- along with seven Tati-related short films. Unfortunately I was not sent a review copy, but once the Barnes & Noble, 50% off Criterion sale rolls around next month I think I'll have to add this one to my Christmas request list the same way I did with Zatoichi last year. As for my thoughts on the films, I personally love Hulot's Holiday and PlayTime, the latter of which you can read my review of the previous Criterion Blu-ray edition here, though as DVD Beaver has already shown, the transfer on this new release looks much different. »

Abby Singer, a veteran production manager and assistant director and a DGA member for more than 60 years, died this morning of cancer and old age at the Motion Picture & Television Country House in Woodland Hills. He was 96. Singer got his start working as an assistant for Harry Cohn's right-hand man Jack Fier at Columbia Pictures in 1949 after a stint in the Navy and moved on to Universal in 1957 to work in TV. He eventually landed at Mary Tyler Moore and Grant Tinker's Mtm Productions, where he oversaw such series as Rhoda, Phyllis, The Bob Newhart Show, Wkrp In Cincinnati, The White Shadow, Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere. His last film as unit production manager was on 1997′s Family Plan. He later taught at the American Film Institute Conservatory.

This weekend's "Mr. Peabody and Sherman," a feature-length, 3D animated film from DreamWorks Animation, is already notable in the sense that it's the first film based on characters from the classic series "The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show" that doesn't look like it's going to be a huge financial disaster.
The spritely story of time traveling dog Mr. Peabody (this time voiced by Ty Burrell) and his "pet" human Sherman (Max Charles) is adapted from the "Peabody's Improbable History" segments of "The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show," and was directed by Rob Minkoff (it's his first animated feature since a movie we've never heard of called "The Lion King").
With "Frozen" finally exiting theaters and "The Lego Movie" losing some of its staying power, it looks like "Mr. Peabody and Sherman," a brightly colored, lively movie that will probably rake in some big box office. The premise is appealing and a number of parents »

There are so many congratulatory statements I want to make to FX at this time about The Americans. However, since space is limited and I need to maintain some semblance of an objective slant on this recap, I'll just say this: Please, FX, don't ever put The Americans up against Scandal (which returns from its winter hiatus February 27th on ABC). I don't think my nervous system could handle having to choose between two Washington, D.C.-based dramas filled with sex, intrigue and costumes I covet on a daily basis. »

"The Americans" is back for a second season. I reviewed the start of season 2 yesterday, and I have thoughts on the premiere coming up just as soon as I change the world with a hug... "It's just hard. This job, this life. Gets to you in ways you wouldn't think it would." -Philip So, no, "The Americans" is not fooling around as it begins the new year. After a brief stop at the cabin where Elizabeth recovered from her gunshot wound, "Comrades" gets its hands dirty in a rush, with Philip executing two Afghan freedom fighters, then taking out the poor busboy with the misfortune to be there for the one mission where the Kgb's amazing wig technology fails. And with that, Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg send their audience three very important messages: 1)"Stop asking why the wigs don't come off, because when they do, innocent busboys die!" 2)"This »

Anybody who eats has got to take a shit! You get the hemrods or the piles and can't take a shit you got's to put a repository in your ass so's you can take a shit!"
The previous statement is part of an actual conversation I overheard years ago, in the 1980s in fact, in St. Louis, when I worked as a police dispatcher. The unit was the Federal Protective Service and these words were spoken by Officer Earl Berry Jr., one of the more colorful characters I have encountered in my life. Yes he really did say all that, »

FRIDAY, Feb. 4 (HealthDay News) -- Blacks have lower mortality rates than whites following acute ischemic stroke, and they are more likely to receive life-sustaining interventions, according to research published in the Feb. 1 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Ying Xian, M.D., Ph.D., of the Duke Clinical Research Institute in Durham, N.C., and colleagues collected data on 5,319 black and 18,340 white adult patients hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke in New York hospitals to study differences in stroke mortality between the two races and explore possible reasons behind these differences.
After propensity score adjustment, the researchers found black race to be independently associated with lower in-hospital and all-cause mortality up to one year after hospitalization (odds ratios [ORs], 0.77 and 0.86, respectively). After the researchers adjusted for the possibility of in-hospital death, black stroke patients were more likely than whites to receive life-sustaining interventions (OR, 1.22), but less likely to be discharged to hospice care (OR, 0.25).
"Among patients with acute ischemic stroke, black patients had lower mortality than white patients. This could be the result of differences in receipt of life-sustaining interventions and end-of-life care," the authors write.

2 Rwandan army officers charged over incitementAugust 29, 2014 @ 6:12 am
KIGALI, Rwanda (AP) -- Two Rwandan army officers have been charged with inciting the public against the government of President Paul Kagame.
Brig. Gen. Frank Rusagara and Col. Tom Byabagamba were also charged in a military court Friday with illegal possession of firearms and spreading falsehoods against Rwanda's government.
The two were arrested last week.
Byabagamba, who once was the commander of the elite force in charge of Kagame's security, is a brother to the prominent Rwandan exile and Kagame critic David Himbara.
Rusagara, who retired from the army last year, had recently served as the defense attache at Rwanda's diplomatic mission in Britain.
Many senior army officers have fallen out with Kagame over the years, with some fleeing into exile because they believed their lives had been threatened.
