Henrico's Top Teachers – 2012
Profiles of 20 teachers who make a difference
Teachers do not seek out publicity or acclaim for what they do, but we believe they deserve to be recognized for their efforts. In our second annual 'Henrico's Top Teachers' issue, we tell the stories of 20 outstanding Henrico County teachers.
This year's class includes teachers from throughout Henrico County who teach grade levels from preschool through high school and GED. They were nominated – along with more than 200 others – by readers during the month of November.
The volume of nominations received for this section – more than double the number received for last year's inaugural issue – was overwhelming. Nominations came from parents, grandparents, colleagues, administrators – even students and former students. Paring the number of candidates to just 20 was no easy task.
We're proud to present profiles of these teachers, who were selected for inclusion in this issue based on their professional successes and their personal touches. Each one has, in his or her own unique way, touched hundreds of lives and helped mold the future of Henrico County.

An outspoken Marine critical of President Barack Obama says the Marine Corps is moving to kick him out.
Sgt. Gary Stein says he was notified Wednesday that the Marine Corps has charged him with using contemptuous words against the commander in chief and violating the Defense Department's guidelines barring troops from engaging in political activities.
Stein says the notification stated that the Corps was beginning the process to have him discharged.
Stein says he was told he was in violation for running the Facebook page called Armed Forces Tea Party and stating on the page that he would not follow unlawful orders from Obama. Stein says he launched the page to encourage service members to exercise their free speech rights.
He says he has done nothing wrong.

Sandra is a very busy nurse who lives in Oklahoma with her husband. The couple wants to retire in Las Vegas and bought a house there over a year ago with a mind towards preparing it for their golden years.
California Closets has done other projects in the home since they first bought it. Sandra prefers high quality unique furniture and doesn't want anything that could be considered mundane or cookie-cutter.
Q: What was this project about?
Simone: Sandra wanted to have a display unit and covered storage without encroaching too far into the room. I would need to design something that blended with the current decor while satisfying specific storage requirements. She was determined to not have any paper or clutter in the room whatsoever.
Q: What did she envision as a solution?
Simone: She imagined a design that didn't look like a normal book shelf or a typical media unit but would still be able to display her husband's rock collection. It would also require ample storage for files along with covered storage for a variety of miscellaneous items.
Q: That sounds tricky. How were you able to do it?
Simone: The length of the wall is 184 inches so we decided to use 160 inches of it to optimize the area without packing it too tightly. To keep the shelving from overpowering the wall, we used staggered, 12-inch deep boxes instead of typical shelves. This gave the unit a feeling of depth and variety and visual interest. By not filling the entire space with shelving, we found we could create plenty of useful storage space without having an imposing wall full of shelves.
For the cabinets below, we used doors with pull-out drawers behind them for plenty of file storage. In the large vertical section in the center, we used doors so the things that they didn't want on display could be covered.
Q: Describe the finishes, hardware and accessories that were included in your design.
Simone: The body of the wall unit is an Antique White finish to blend in with the wall and be the backdrop for his colorful rocks. Because this room is open to the kitchen, we wanted a finish that would complement the kitchen cabinets so we used Tiger Wood foil. To make it more contemporary we turned the grain horizontally. We also designed three Tiger Wood-wrapped removable dividers to break up the long, horizontal lines of the shelves.
For the hardware we used hidden touch latches so we wouldn't disturb the visual flow of the Tiger Wood. Sandra found her own oil-rubbed bronze handles for the base cabinet doors.
Q: The results are very impressive. How does Sandra feel about the solution?
Simone: She is extremely happy with the result and we continue to do work for her and other members of her family.
Simone Jackson is a design consultant for California Closets Las Vegas. She has a bachelor's degree in interior design and uses her knowledge and skills in design to collaborate with her clients on the perfect solution for their organizational needs.

Lonestar Taco Selling 'Besitos' to Help La Newyorkina Rebuild
These sweet treats will help La Newyorkina rebuild.
A number of commissary spaces were knocked out of commission by the storm, among them La Newyorkina's production kitchen in Red Hook, which owner Fany Gerson graciously makes available to small-batch food producers. Chronic do-gooder Wayne Surber of Lonestar Taco wanted to help bring Gerson's kitchen back up to speed, so he's adapted her recipe for besitos, a typically sweet treat, from her book My Sweet Mexico, adding cayenne and pasilla pepper to spice things up, and he's selling besitos by the dozen for $15 to benefit La Newyorkina. Details are here. [Lonestar Taco]

Daniel Collins Jr has been arrested and charged because he threatened his neighbor with a gun. The unbelievable part of the story is that he threatened his neighbor with a gun because his neighbor passed gas by his door, outside his apartment.
The 72 year old is said to have told his neighbor that he would put a hole in his head and the neighbor must have taken him seriously because he called the police. Collins is reported to have been in an ongoing dispute with his neighbor and the dispute escalated when his neighbor passed gas right outside the door of his apartment in Teaneck, NJ.
The two men had been making noise complaints against each other, prior to the incident.
According to the Daily Mail, "Teaneck police arrested and charged Daniel Collins Jr. with aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and terroristic threats."
One would speculate that the charges are too severe, especially considering the Collins' age but threatening another person with a gun is also arguably very severe.

Real Housewives Of New York: Bethenny Frankel Takes It All Off For Peta
December 18, 2009 11:00 AM by Britteny Elrick
Sporting luxurious fur coats is a thing of the past for Real Housewife of New York City, Bethenny Frankel. The newest PETA billboard, featuring the nude reality TV star and reading "I used to wear fur," was unveiled yesterday in Times Square. Keep reading for more details…
Bethenny told Life & Style of her decision to no longer wear fur, "I went to a cocktail party and a PETA protester was holding up a skinned animal outside. I looked at it, and it made me sick. That day was a huge change, and since then, I've really been against fur. I'm cleaning out my closets — trim, everything."
Now that she's gotten rid of all that bulky fur, I guess she'll have room for other bulky things – such as maternity clothes! "I'm trying to wear all my dresses; squeeze into the ones I won't be able to wear for the next six months!" she continued. "I'm not all that fashion-forward. I just want to have something that fits, probably 6 or 7 dresses."

NORTON, Mass. – Sergio Garcia of Spain started with the lead in the Deutsche Bank Championship and shot a 65. And he needed just about every birdie.
On a TPC Boston course softened by so much rain the third round Sunday had to be started over, Garcia gave himself a two-shot cushion with a birdie on the final hole as darkness settled over New England.
The final round of the second of four FedEx Cup playoff tournaments is Monday. The top 70 players in FedEx Cup points will advance to the BMW Championship, which starts Sept. 12 in Lake Forest, Ill.
Garcia was at 19-under 194.

Henrik Stenson (66) of Sweden was in second place; he has two runner-up finishes and two thirds in his last five starts.
"There's heaps of low scores out there," Stenson said. "You have to keep making birdies if you want to have anything to do with this tournament. Today was no different. It's going to be the same tomorrow."
Graham DeLaet (62) of Canada and Steve Stricker (63) of the United States were tied for third at 16 under.
Ryan Moore (68) of Puyallup, ex-Washington Husky Richard H. Lee (68) and top-ranked Tiger Woods (72) were among the players tied for 47th place at 6 under.
"I just didn't have it today," Woods said. "I just didn't hit it well. I didn't make anything. I had a bad day at the wrong time."
The PGA Tour website includes projected FedEx Cup points.
Moore is 55th in projected points, but Kyle Stanley (78th) of Gig Harbor and Lee (85th) are projected to not qualify for the BMW field. Stanley missed the Deutsche Bank cut.

Weather is hurting the finances of Downtown Springfield Incorporated's sponsored events.
But Executive Director Victoria Ringer says some of the tried-and-true events such as the Taste of Downtown may need a tune-up.
"Festivals are happening all the time in Springfield. You can find a food and music festival any time, which is a great thing," says Ringer. "They can always be revamped. The bigger issue is our revenue stream need to be diversified so we are not so weather dependent."
Ringer says her organization is also having to assume costs for these events that the City of Springfield previously provided free such as water and electricity.
She says DSI is not in business to just put on festivals; it is about promoting the downtown area. She's still optimistic about the future.

"I definitely wanted to make something that was funnier than what I had made before and that was part of the fun of working with Lena. She has such a great ear and is able to write dialogue [so well] which is really something I hadn't done before [working on the improvised script for 'You Won't Miss Me'] and that was really exciting to me." Russo-Young said, adding that she and Dunham hit it off after meeting at a film event a few years ago and the script developed naturally from there. "We actually met at an IFC mixer. Basically we met there and just hung out and we got along and had a lot to talk about. And then we hung out a couple times after [that] and it just came about really naturally. I think she was sort of interested in writing something that she wasn't going to then make and I was really interested in working with a writer who was willing to collaborate in that way. So it was always clear that we were going to write a movie together for me to then go and make, probably on a very limited budget. So we were really conscious of keeping the scale pretty modest in terms of locations and actors."
The filmmaker had nothing but praise for her collaboration with Dunham. "She's a really, really talented writer and she has the ability to write different voices [for] people. And in collaborating in the writing it was a great opportunity to get outside what I'd made before and do something different." When asked about Dunham's series, Russo-Young said that she was a big fan and on the subject of its backlash said that she thought it was "inevitable because Lena's so young and so smart and has so many positions on that show, the jealousy factor does work its way in, in weird ways."
For "Nobody Walks," Russo-Young and Dunham got together to write an outline and define all the characters before trading the script back and forth to come up with a finished draft. The filmmaker described the writing process as "very fast" saying that the pair had attended the Sundance Screenwriters Lab in 2010 and were shooting the film by June of 2011. One of the most compelling aspects of the film is that even though the characters may act in screwed up ways, there aren't any villains. According to the filmmaker, this was part of the film's design from the beginning.
"In life and in movies, even people who do bad things are still human and filled with pathos and they're just making mistakes and they're trying to survive," she said. "That's something I've experienced in my own life, trying to be a good person, to make good work, have real friendships and be in love and all of those things. And I feel like everybody around me that I know always has the best intentions even if they're doing terrible things. But so often in movies, you get very black and white [depictions] in terms of the polarity of who is good and who is evil. And I like showing a more complicated, more realistic side of human beings and why they behave [a certain way]. I haven't seen enough of that, [which is something] that I crave [when I'm] watching movies."
After reading the completed script, producers Alicia Van Couvering ("Damsels In Distress"), Jonathan Schwartz and Andrea Sperling ("Like Crazy") came onboard to help the filmmaker assemble a proper budget and amazing cast anchored by Thirlby, Krasinski and DeWitt. When asked if she felt any pressure working with such recognizable names, she said she "didn't have time to be intimidated but was completely honored to be working with them."

Hugh Jackman Out Of Running For Cleo
Can't schedule in Soderbergh's musical
Hugh Jackman has bowed out of the running for Steven Soderbergh's planned rock musical Cleo, blaming scheduling conflicts for the move.
The wonderfully barmy-sounding project retells the tragedy of Egyptian queen Cleopatra and her Roman lover Marc Antony through the medium of an Elvis-style musical, with music by indie rockers Guided by Voices. We know what you're thinking - cliche!
The other news on the project today is that Ray Winstone is in talks to play Julius Caesar in the film, presumably in flashbacks as ol' JC wasn't around by the time that Marc Antony and Cleo started gettin' it on (unless we're rewriting history, anyway).
Jackman, who has X-Men Origins: Wolverine coming up and is also hosting next year's Oscars, hasn't elaborated on what scheduling conflicts prevent him from taking the role and giving his tonsils a twirl around a full-on musical, but we're guessing it's a jazz retelling of the Romulus and Remus story or something predictable like that.

Since 1996, Seeds of Peace has been producing The Olive Branch magazine as a means for Seeds alumni to sustain communication and share experiences with each other and their communities throughout the school year.
The Olive Branch is researched, written, edited and produced by Seeds of Peace graduates, allowing them to react to current events, share experiences, and maintain open and active dialogue.
The magazine guarantees freedom of expression for all Seeds and their wide range of experience and opinions, from Palestinians living under military occupation in refugee camps, to Israeli soldiers sharing their perspectives on checkpoints, to Indians and Pakistanis intensely debating Kashmir.
Many of our Seeds come from places where their voices are quelled rather than encouraged. Through the process of creating the publication, they find the support needed to speak out and be heard. On its pages, they protest their realities, and in doing so, they learn the power they have to reach people and create change.
They may express themselves as journalists, poets, or artists, but do so always as Seeds, committed to embracing humanity rather than war. They are creating ongoing, tangible proof that it is possible to express feelings openly and honestly while sparking healthy, constructive dialogue.
Perhaps most importantly, they are spreading the message of Seeds of Peace where it is most needed. The Olive Branch serves as an outreach vehicle to others who are not able to attend Camp. It exposes Seeds of Peace to thousands beyond our network, as it is printed and distributed to Israeli & Palestinian schools, along with an accompanying Teacher's Guide.
The magazine is currently co-edited by two Seeds, an Israeli and a Palestinian.

A prescription for cancer prevention might read like this: eat more broccoli (preferably raw), lose weight, get more exercise and quit smoking.
The lifestyle change recommendations that apply to cancer risk reduction also help protect against heart disease, according to a panel of experts who spoke at the Tulane University Presidential Symposium on Nov. 11.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the country. The American Cancer Society estimates that 200,000 of the nearly 600,000 cancer deaths predicted for 2004 could be prevented by lifestyle changes.
A panel of four leading experts spoke about the new scientific basis for cancer prevention at the sixth annual presidential symposium, which comprised a free, public forum on "Fight for Your Life: Cancer Prevention in the Real World" and a number of scholarly presentations on "The Prospect of Preventing Cancer: Scientific Basis and Fond Hope" for the scientific community and healthcare professionals.
"The last presidential symposium scared me to death about heart disease and the result was I lost 60 pounds," said President Scott Cowen in opening remarks, during the public program. "This one has inspired me to lose another 40."
Cowen praised the Tulane Cancer Center, organizer of the symposium, for the 30 percent growth in cancer research funding over the past year.
"Under the leadership of its founding director, Roy Weiner, the fledgling cancer center has become an important and distinguished center in the region, and it is well-known nationally in the field of cancer research."
The symposium explored various aspects of cancer prevention, including nutrition, immunotherapy, hormones and chemoprevention. Panelist Alan Kristal, associate head of the Cancer Prevention Program at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, summed up the "prescription" for cancer prevention by advocating for controlling obesity through diet and physical activity, eating more plant foods, reducing alcohol and quitting smoking.
On the hot issue of hormone-replacement therapy for menopausal women, Geoffrey Greene, an expert in the field of hormones and cancer, deemed the increased breast cancer risk statistically small (about 1.26 times the risk).
"The potential benefits of estrogen therapy, such as increased bone density and relief of hot flashes, probably outweigh the risks," said Greene, professor at the Ben May Institute and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago.
A landmark research study showed no increased mortality among women who took estrogen, and their risk of colon cancer was decreased. However, the study was halted early because of alarming results among the women who took estrogen combined with progestin. Currently, there is no vaccine available that prevents cancer. But scientists are working to develop a vaccine that would prevent cervical cancer in women.
"Most cancers are not linked to viruses, except cervical cancer, which is clearly linked to the human papilloma virus," said W. Martin Kast, Walter A. Richter Cancer Research Professor of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Southern California's Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center.
"Scientific discoveries have brought us to this point today, with the chance of intervention before cancer develops," said Ernest Terry Hawk, medical oncologist and epidemiologist in the Division of Cancer Prevention at the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health.
During the question-and-answer portion of the public forum, New Orleans City Council member Jackie Clarkson asked about the links between diet and cancer, wondering if the experts thought government should develop policies about foods and drinks served in schools.
"Policy comes locally," Kristal replied. "For example, Seattle does not allow candy, soft drinks or sugared juices for sale in the schools." Weiner said he hopes Clarkson will carry the banner to make a positive change to improve the community's health.

PORT CLINTON, Ohio (AP) — The ice fishing season along western Lake Erie has been up and down so far this winter.
Cold temperatures early in January made some spots between Toledo and Sandusky suitable for ice fishing, but a warm-up last weekend left some of those same spots with unsteady ice.
The Port Clinton News-Herald (http://ohne.ws/1fBDZCn ) reports that anglers now are hoping that the colder weather will give them another chance to get out on the ice.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources recommends going out with an experienced guide. Those who patrol the lake say that no ice is completely safe.
The head of the department's Lake Erie Law Enforcement Unit says it's best to get a report of the conditions before heading out, and that you shouldn't go on the ice alone.

Difference between revisions of "Wewak"
Revision as of 13:40, 3 August 2011
Wewak is the capital of the East Sepik province in the Sepik region of Papua New Guinea.
From a travel perspective Wewak is mainly important as an access point for visits to the Sepik River. During World War II, it was the site of a large Japanese airbase and the location of formal Japanese surrender to Allied forces on New Guinea.
Get in
By plane
Air Niugini[1] has daily flights from PNG's capital Port Moresby, Nadzab (Lae) and Madang.
Airlines PNG [2] connects Wewak with Mt. Hagen in the Highlands and with Madang.
By road
It should be possible to reach Wewak from Papua (Irian Jaya) in the Indonesian part of the island of New Guinea. From Jayapura by road to Vanimo in Sandaun province takes around 3 hours. Public transport services are available on both sides of the border. There are then road connections to Wewak. During flood season some of the river crossings may be impassable.
Get around
Wewak has a considerable number of relics from WW2 and, in particular, attracts many Japanese visitors.
Get out
Wewak is linked by road to three villages on the Sepik River, Angoram, Timbunke, and Pagui.

I have a generic EL producer that I've written to take advantage of WELD's ability to just 'make it work' when I need it done, and even have the type coercion written into the function so that it makes sure the return type matches the weld injection point.
Here's my problem: WELD resolves from the injection point's assignable types, ie, if your injection point is a String, it will only look for producers with a String return type.
This is problematic, as I want one producer that will take care of the type coercion, and hand back a correctly typed object.
As a kludge, I have a String producer method that aliases to the real producer, and only does the type kludging.
This... at least works, until I get to the situation of having an Object typed injection point, at which point ALL of my kludge methods AND the generic producer ALL are matched, giving an ambiguous dependency exception, even if I use @Typed on the producers.
Is there a sane way around this, or should I give up on this idea of making WELD do all the hard work for me?
Here's an example of the use of this producer, from an error handling bean with a Request scope. RequestURI is the one that is troublesome in this case, the other two require typed "kludge" methods to work. The main function of this particular bean (code not included) is to catch unhandled exceptions and report them via email to us for more specific error handling in future revisions. The basic use-case here is to simplify programmatic access to EL, and potentially to allow writing back to EL using the value binding, though that's not possible in this particular code.
I know I can do the below using other methods, that's not the point. Realistically, it's a positive thing to make it easier to access EL programmatically IMO, especially when dealing with some of the more exotic scopes (especially Flash scope) introduced by JSF 2.0. Most of my use cases have to do with Flash scope, but aren't safe to disclose here, nor are they predictable types, or types that should have kludges written for them, hence why I want this more generalized method.
protected Exception exception;
protected String statusCode;
protected Object requestUri;
Here's my qualifier:
@Target(value = {ElementType.FIELD,ElementType.METHOD,ElementType.PARAMETER})
@Retention(value = RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface ELResource {
String value();
The producer:
public class ELProducer {
FacesContext facesContext;
Logger log;
public Object getELResource(InjectionPoint ip) {
log.entering(getClass().getName(), "getELResource()",new Object[] {ip});
ExpressionFactory expFactory = facesContext.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
String elString = ip.getAnnotated().getAnnotation(ELResource.class).value();
Class coercionType = resolveClass(ip);
log.log(Level.INFO, "EL String: {0} of type: {1}", new Object[] {elString, coercionType.getName()});
if (elString == null || elString.length() <= 0) {
log.log(Level.SEVERE,"No EL String specified for injection");
log.exiting(getClass().getName(), "getELResource()");
return null;
ValueExpression ve = expFactory.createValueExpression(facesContext.getELContext(), elString, coercionType);
if (ve != null) {
Object retval = ve.getValue(facesContext.getELContext());
log.log(Level.INFO,"EL Result: {0} of type: {1}",new Object[] { retval, ((retval != null) ? retval.getClass().getName() : "NULL") } );
log.exiting(getClass().getName(), "getELResource()",new Object[] {retval} );
return retval;
} else {
log.log(Level.WARNING,"Null EL Result");
log.exiting(getClass().getName(), "getELResource()");
return null;
// TODO: There should be a better way of accomplishing the below
public String getELStringResource(InjectionPoint ip) {
return (String)getELResource(ip);
public Exception getELExceptionResource(InjectionPoint ip) {
return (Exception)getELResource(ip);
private Class resolveClass(InjectionPoint ip) {
Annotated annotated = ip.getAnnotated();
Member member = ip.getMember();
if (member instanceof Field) {
Field field = (Field)member;
return field.getType();
} else if (member instanceof Constructor) {
Constructor con = (Constructor)member;
AnnotatedParameter ap = (AnnotatedParameter)annotated;
return con.getParameterTypes()[ap.getPosition()];
} else if (member instanceof Method) {
Method method = (Method)member;
AnnotatedParameter ap = (AnnotatedParameter)annotated;
return method.getParameterTypes()[ap.getPosition()];
} else {
return null;
And the error:

The Japan Ukiyo-e Museum
Ukiyo-e collection which is admired around the world for its overwhelming quality and quantity
Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese traditional painting which was established in the Edo period (1603 ~ 1868). "Ukiyo" has the opposite meaning of the afterworld and means "this world, mundaneness and the world of everyday life." "Ukiyo-e" refers to the paintings which depict the manners of that time. Most of ukiyo-e were woodblock prints and were affordable as they could be mass-produced. Thus, they were widely loved by ordinary people. On the other hand, as all ukiyo-e that were painted by hand were one of a kind, such works by famous ukiyo-e artists were highly valuable.
The Japan Ukiyo-e Museum now houses 100,000 pieces of ukiyo-e centered on the pieces that the Sakai family, once was a wealthy merchant, had collected from generation to generation for 200 years since the late 18th century. Yoshitaka, who started collecting ukiyo-e, was a man of culture and loved calligraphic works, paintings and antiques. It is said he had a friendly association with Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige, the well-known ukiyo-e artists of that time. Later on, the works by Hokusai and Hiroshige had a great influence on the impressionists of late 19th century and the Art Nouveau artists..
It is one of the greatest ukiyo-e collections in Japan in terms of both quality and quantity. The museum started to hold exhibitions abroad in the 20th century. It contributed to the international cultural exchange. From that time, the museum started to focus on the activities of buying back ukiyo-e works that flowed out widely to the West as materials to learn about the world of everyday life in Japan. The museum houses a huge collection which reaches to 100,000 covering works from ukiyo-e pieces of an early date to modern block prints including hand painted ukiyo-e works and ukiyo-e prints.
Now, exhibitions are held in regions and countries such as Europe, Middle and Near East, South America and the United States. It has gained the great admiration from the experts, scholars and ukiyo-e lovers around the world.

The semantic web is extending its reach into more and more businesses with tremendous effect. Ebags.com, for example saw a 33% rise in holiday sales in 2010 over its 2009 holiday sales. The company's co-founder credits much of that increase to their new semantic retail platform powered by Endeca Technologies.
The new Ebags.com platform analyzes "shoppers' keyword choices and clicks, and then winnows down results from categories to subcategories and microcategories. The end result? 'Guiding the shopper to the perfect bag very quickly,' Cobb says."
According to the article, "Many business decision-makers remain skeptical that the paybacks of adopting semantic technology will make up for the costs and risks." Other companies like BestBuy.com see the value of semantic technologies but are currently unable to easily implement them.
The article insists, "Slowly but surely… semantic Web technology is catching on. Business users in industry sectors ranging from e-commerce, e-publishing and healthcare to marketing and financial services are reaping its benefits, even if they don't always understand how it works and even though hard ROI numbers have been hard to come by."

text: well, the topic title explains it mostly. I'm trying to decide on a frame size for the tt bike I'm building up. I will mostly be doing shorter TTs, in the 30-40 minute range, if it matters. I'm thinking it might be better to have my seat in a position closer to my road position since I want my TT fitness to translate well to road racing breakaway/long climb ability. I want to hear your thoughts.

Iggy's influence
Music | Deluxe editions of Raw Power highlight Pop's scary punk
The death on April 8 of Malcolm McLaren, the British provocateur who managed the Sex Pistols and therefore changed the face of pop culture if only by sticking a safety pin through its cheek, resuscitated the argument about who started punk rock in the first place.
Obituaries proclaimed McLaren punk's "godfather," perhaps to avoid contradicting McLaren's former business partner Bernard Rhodes, who managed the Clash and claims to have "invented" punk. Americans, meanwhile, have long defended the turf containing punk's roots as their own, citing the New York Dolls (whom McLaren managed for a time), and the Ramones.
But perhaps the real starter of the punk avalanche was James Osterberg, a Michigan native who, after rechristening himself Iggy Pop, achieved unprecedented notoriety as the outré lead singer of an aggressively troglodytic garage band called the Stooges. If the group's eponymous 1969 debut album sounds dated, its 1970 follow-up, a towering inferno of ferocity with the ironic title Fun House, remains ahead of its time.
The case for the seminal nature of Pop's role in punk's origins has just received its latest boost in the form of Sony's latest reissuing of the band's third album, Raw Power, in a deluxe two-disc edition with a limited-edition, even more deluxe four-disc edition soon to follow.
Both contain the 1973 album's original eight songs in their original David Bowie mix (i.e., the notoriously "thin" one-a somewhat bass-boosted remix overseen by Pop himself was released in 1997) and a (mostly) live CD of an Atlanta date on the band's scabrous 1973 tour.
Together, the discs reveal why punk as embodied by Malcolm McLaren and the Sex Pistols probably wouldn't have happened if Iggy and the Stooges hadn't happened first. At the very least, the heat-seeking missile that was Raw Power proved that baby boomers, confused and angered by the failure of their inherited material abundance to satisfy their deeper longings, could generate first-rate "shake appeal" (track seven's title).
The live-in-Georgia disc, meanwhile, suggests that Pop, besides inventing punk, may have invented "performance art" as well, combining as he did drug-fueled self-mutilation, audience baiting, and profanity like some morbidly fascinating combination of Jim Morrison and Lenny Bruce.
One doesn't use the term morbidly lightly; the Raw Power song "Death Trip" felt scary for a reason. But there was also an irrepressible survival instinct. In retrospect, it's not surprising that Pop eventually kicked heroin and developed into a productive rock 'n' roll éminence grise. He released his 15th solo album last year and is currently on tour with the Stooges in Europe. On April 21, six days before the four-disc Raw Power was scheduled to go on sale, he turned 63.
Prohibitively priced though it is ($69.99), the four-disc set is the Raw Power that students of punk will want-less for its bonus 10-track audio CD of Raw Power-era studio outtakes and alternate mixes than for Search and Destroy: Iggy & the Stooges' Raw Power, a 45-minute documentary DVD that revisits the circumstances surrounding the album's creation.
The lineup of talking heads is both authoritative and diverse. Besides the three surviving Stooges (Pop, guitarist James Williamson, drummer Scott Asheton), there are testimonials from the Smiths' Johnny Maar, the Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde, Blondie's Clem Burke, and Black Flag's Henry Rollins about how Raw Power influenced their music and their lives.
But it's Pop himself who puts the finger on why it did (and does). Listening to James Williamson's acoustic-guitar demo for the song "I Need Somebody," he observes that, stripped to its essence, the music bears a startling resemblance to that most enduringly popular and life-affirming of musical genres: the blues.

On 7/24, Ultimate NWA was in Scottsboro, AL for the much anticipated Friendship vs Title match between Adam Jacobs and Adam Roberts.
The show began with Interim Commissioner Chase D talking about how excited he was that Adam Roberts and Adam Jacobs were now feuding with each other. Adam Roberts walked in and said he had decided against the match, that their friendship meant more to him than that. Jacobs came in and once again accused Roberts of being a coward. They got in each others' faces and began slugging it out. They brawled from the backstage area out into the ring, where the locker room emptied to hold them back.
1) Jarek Tyler d. Ben Thrasher w/ Matt Fortune in 8:52 by pinfall after a standing sliced bread.
Thrasher used his size and numbers game against Tyler but Tyler's athleticism and tenacity was too much for Thrasher. Fortune tried to distract Tyler but was knocked off the apron by Tyler as he grabbed the head of Thrasher and kicked off of Fortune to fly over Thrasher and pick up the pin.
Jeremiah Flynt was shown backstage talking to Chase D. Chase said he was declaring Flynt the rookie of the year and Flynt was overjoyed.
2) Jeremiah Flynt d. Dustin Hanson in 8:23 by pinfall after hitting him with a trophy behind the referee's back.
This was another example of power vs speed and athleticism. Flynt is still continuing his ridiculous charade of claiming to be the 2009 Ultimate NWA Rookie of the Year(despite having wrestled for over ten years). It's gone to a whole new level though with Flynt now carrying a new trophy to the ring that apparently talks to him… Flynt with this trophy is no longer the happy-go-lucky comedy guy. He has genuinely just gone insane. Flynt worked a seated Hanson over in the corner, hitting him with a huge knee to the head. Hanson landed a huge Yakuza kick to the face of Flynt in the corner for a two count. Flynt battled back with a big lariat and attempted to choke Hanson with a towel that he brought to the ring. Referee Jimbo Slice grabbed the towel to put on the timekeeper's table and as he turned his back, Flynt nailed Hanson with the trophy for the three count.
Flynt cut a promo about being the new force of Ultimate NWA. He continued his attack on Hanson until Ganz and Lightning made the save.
3) Chrisjen Hayme vs Kent Reznor was declared a no contest at 7:38 when Reznor was injured after being thrown over the top rope by Hayme.
Hayme unleased a flurry of offense on Reznor but Reznor fought back and gained several near falls. Hayme was in control of the match when he tossed Reznor over the top rope. Reznor clutched his ankle and wasn't able to get back up. Referee Jimbo Slice declared the match could not continue. Hayme was extremely upset and argued with Slice.
4) Patrick Bentley d. Corey Hollis in 10:11 by pinfall after hitting a Canadian Destroyer.
Hollis dominated much of this match with a pele kick off the turnbuckles and his signature satellite crossface. Hollis hit a tornado DDT and went up to the top. Jeremiah Flynt ran out to attack the actual Rookie of the Year, Hollis, and was met with knees to the face from Hollis. The distraction gave Bentley the advantage he needed to connect with his devastating Canadian Destroyer for the win.
5) The Devils Rejects w/ The Rev d. Thunder & Lightning in 13:20 by pinfall after the Hell's Hammer to retain the Ultimate NWA Tag Team Championship.
Ganz & Lightning utilized their speed and skill as a tag team to give the current champions a run for their money. Once again, The Rejects used their size and numbers advantage to pick up yet another victory. Ganz and Lightning had some impressive offense and double teams in this one but unfortunately couldn't overcome the power of the Rejects.
6) Adam Roberts d. Adam Jacobs in 14:48 by pinfall after the Main Event Slam to retain the Ultimate NWA Heavyweight Championship
This match was hardfought and evenly matched. The crowd was split with many siding with champion Adam Roberts, while many others recognized the frustrations of Scottsboro's favorite son, Adam Jacobs. Roberts attempted a Main Event Slam only to be rolled up for a two count. The two men traded offense, both getting nearfalls. Finally, Adam Roberts connected with the Main Event Slam for the win. The celebration was cut short as the Devil's Rejects with the Rev hit the ring to attack both men. Roberts and Jacobs held the advantage until the masked man from previous weeks hit the ring making it four on two. Adam Jacobs grabbed a chair, which sent the Rejects running.
Jacobs stood with the chair and for a moment the crowd feared, he was about to hit Roberts with it but instead they shook hands and challenged the Rejects to a match for the 8/14 Back to School Show in Scottsboro, AL.

The 1,000 students participating in the Google Summer of CodeTM 2009 program have been announced, to work on over 150 projects from open source mentoring organisations. This is fantastic experience and inspiration for a budding software developer – I only wish something like this was around when I started out.
Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects.
(A stipend is a form of apprenticeship.)
Now the students have been announced the project will run in earnest between May and October finishing with a Mentor Summit. One can only begin to imagine the level of access these students will have to some of the leading open source organisations.
There are three key messages involved in the Google Summer of Code program
- Benefits for everyone. Students get valuable experience with mentoring organizations working with the world best Open Source software.
- Commitment – Both to the open source community and to academia and learning.
- Embracing open source efforts, from small projects to large international projects.
Many organisations are signed up for mentoring duty including WordPress, Ruby on Rails, Python Software Foundation, PHP, AbiWord, Audacity and Chromium. A full list can be obtained from http://socghop.appspot.com/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2009.
Right now the Internet world is buzzing with details of who is working on what, what the interesting and novel projects will include, and getting students out there experiencing the real world – which after all is what it is all about.

Achievement of CommitmentIt is our expectation and sincere hope that this Conference give full consideration to the difficulties faced by developing countries and show respect to the decision-making rights of all nations in sustainable development, and will, therefore, give strong impetus to the world economic, social and environmental development in a comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable manner.
How this will be achievedChinese NGOs are resolved to exert our efforts for the success of the Conference in light of its theme "a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication".
We are deeply concerned about the poverty issues around the world and the imbalance of poverty reduction efforts made by different countries since the beginning of the century. We feel grieved to those impoverished.We are also concerned about the deteriorating relationship between man and nature and are opposed to such pursuit of socio-economic growth at the cost of the natural resources system.
We propose that national governments, the United Nations and NGOs from across the globe build up closer ties and cooperation, support one another and make joint efforts to push forward the cause of global poverty reduction and sustainable development.
We are committed to sharing our experience and effective practice of poverty reduction with other countries, while keeping an open mind in our determined efforts for global sustainable development.

If you've been following along with us or are new to finding out about us – we purchased this building at 829 NW 13th on November 1st, 2013. You can watch our original video tour here where we introduced it all, and see what the bare bones of the building looked like.
We held our first service in this historic building on Easter Sunday – April 20, 2014. God answered so many prayers. Over 530 people attended this service, including many members from the former Pilgrim Congregational Church. It was standing room only. People sat on the floor in the front.
It was – and is – a testimony to his goodness. This is the fruition of answered prayers, hard work, generous gifts, sweat equity, incredible providence and amazing grace. Come join us on a Sunday and see for yourself. All are welcome regardless of personal or religious background. City Pres is here for the convinced and the unconvinced, the lost, the found, the burned, bored, cynical and the spiritual. We invite you, no matter where you are in the process, to City Pres.
This building was built in 1920 by Park Congregational Church, which soon became Pilgrim Congregational Church. You can learn more about this property on the wikipedia page.
This property sits at a key location. It lies next to both Heritage Hills and low-income housing. It adjoins the growing Midtown area, and is only a mile from downtown. Its proximity to these locations, and its historic, majestic architecture make it a perfect fit for our church. We want to welcome all people into walking with Jesus with us. Our prayer is that will always be an inviting building that will meet the needs of all around us, and any who might come visit us. We want City Pres to be a church that is rooted in its location, but is serving those in our city – and planting churches all over the city.
Pray! Please pray with us that this will all be for God's glory, not ours.
Invite! Please invite people to come join us at City Pres. Blog. Post. Smile! Welcome people.
Give! We continue to need gifts and support. You can give to our Building Fund. All gifts will help us make this church a place for people to gather to worship and serve, and the make Jesus more believable and beautiful. All donations are tax deductible, and will be documented.
Doug blogged about the building here.

VIA thanks wine tasting supporters
The Village Improvement Association of Rehoboth Beach had a very successful Holiday Wine Tasting Fundraiser for the Capital Campaign November 22. As you have reported in past issues of the Gazette, our historic clubhouse had a major renovation and expansion which began in 2012. We were able to begin using our "new" clubhouse this spring. The Capital Campaign is near the goal of paying off the loan which funded the expansion. The all-volunteer VIA is a 501(c)3 non-profit. We give time and money to worthy causes throughout the Cape Region. We have managed to raise much of the money we need to pay down the loan without losing focus on our beneficiaries.
Teller Wines poured samples from all over the world. Catherine and Kevin Hester of Teller gave an educational chat about tasting wine and exposed the attendees to the attributes of the different wines sampled. Touch of Italy donated the palate cleansing food, which was absolutely beautiful and delicious. Touch of Italy and Teller Wines are rising stars in our business community and the VIA is grateful to them for making our event special! Nearly 100 people were in attendance, including many who have never been in our clubhouse which is located at 415 N. Boardwalk, next to Stuart Kingston.
Door prize donors were Sue Scaglione, Something Comfortable, Meineke of Lewes, Greg Wojciechowski/Maritime Contracting and Rick Broadbent/Nationwide Insurance. Teller donated a special wine basket for raffle and Touch of Italy donated a gift certificate.
Many thanks to the Capital Campaign Volunteers who helped set up and manage the event. Please visit our websitewww.rehobothbeachvia.org to see what we do. Consider us in your charitable giving. We can't wait to have a "mortgage burning" and be able to focus exclusively on our many beneficiaries. Happy holidays.
Barbara Dorsey
VIA member and Wine Tasting chairman

Hugh Bonneville - 'Downton Abbey'
September 10, 2013
Despite appearing in multiple movies, including Tomorrow Never Dies and the cult-hit TV show Dr. Who, Hugh Bonneville's real notoriety came from the PBS series and unlikely sensation, Downton Abbey.
Playing an aristocrat who struggles to change with the times in the heralded program, Bonneville is yet to take home a Lead Actor Emmy of his own.
This is Bonneville's second go at the Emmy, for which he was also nominated for in 2012. With any luck and if the Downton buzz holds up, Bonneville could take home an Emmy of his own in September.

Obesity and Liver Health...
Fat – One of The Liver's Worst Enemy
One out of 5 Americans is estimated to have a fatty liver that can lead to cirrhosis. Obesity and nutrition are hot topics being addressed today from many points of view. Unhealthy choices in diet contribute to the risk of obesity.
"Would you ever put bacon grease in the engine of your car?" asks the Liver Lady, Thelma King Thiel. "Yet, you put French Fries, greasy burgers and beer in your engine – your liver – and expect it to work effectively 24/7."
Prevention begins with knowledge. Sadly, few people are aware of the important work of the liver in processing everything consumed. They are oblivious to the detrimental impact an impaired liver has on their lives: their ability to think, to have strong muscles and bones, to digest food, to fight germs and viruses, to recover from illnesses, and other health-related issues. Millions of lives and trillions of healthcare dollars could be saved if individuals knew why and how to avoid liver damaging behaviors.
This miraculous organ and its liver cells are responsible for converting the food we eat and what we drink into hundreds of complex chemical reactions that keep us alive and healthy. The fatty foods and sugary or alcoholic beverages consumed can damage liver cells which turning into scarred liver tissue called cirrhosis.
Choosing foods and drinks to support a balanced and healthy diet is important. Besides limiting fat intake to 30% or less of total daily calories, avoid refined, rapidly digested carbohydrates (such as white bread, white rice, and concentrated sugar.) Reduce consumption of alcoholic beverages. In partnership with a commitment to regular physical exercise activities, smart diet choices support liver wellness and increased overall health.
The Hepatitis Foundation International is a voluntary health agency in Silver Spring, MD is dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors and the prevention of liver related diseases.

Hello all..
A little about me: I am 48 and live in the Southern California area. I have been cycling for about 8-years now and love it.
My 1st hybrid bike was a 2006 Trek FX, from there I moved onto a Trek 2008 FX and in 2010 I bought a 2011 Giant Rapid 1..
I have been searching for a new bike and had a few must haves and a few wants.. I wanted the ultimate in flat bar road type bikes.
My LBS owner located and hooked me up with a 2013 Specialized Sirrus Limited SL4.. I scored if for a very decent price considering what the MSRP was just a few months ago.
I picked it up yesterday and am thrilled with it! Mine is SN# 54 of 300
I also updated my Garmin GPS.. I had been using a Garmin Edge 200 on my Giant but grabbed a Garmin Edge 510 to put on the new bike.
I am not a speed demon not do I peddle insane amounts of distance. I retired early so I generally ride 5 days a week and do between 25-35 miles a day. If I average 14MPH at the end of the ride I am happy.. See? No speed demon and no mega distances for me.
I've tried traditional road bikes but have a bad back and for me at least, I get a much more comfortable ride from the flat bars..
I enjoy cycling not only for the fitness aspect but because it gets me out and about for a few hours a day. Most of my rides (95%) are done in the city and on city streets utilizing the bike lanes..
That's me in a nutshell....
I've lurked for a while here but decided to join after scoring what i believe is the Ferrari of flat bar road bikes..

In response to seattlepat70's comment:
In response to WazzuWheatfarmer's comment:
Good job. I like the pick you made for the Pats. Jenkins is not a perfect prospect, but is a rare athlete. I agree that it is time to look for a successor for Vince, and Jenkins could be just the guy.
I think the DTs will go really fast this year. In addition to the normal demand, there are two teams converting to 34, who will certainly be in a hunt for an NT. Teams that could pick a DT in the first include JAX, OAK, CLE, NYJ, TEN, NOS, PIT, MIN, IND, GBP, NWE.
My guess:
JAX: Finds Jordan and Ansah too fascinating. They forego a DT. Takes one of Jordan or Ansah. If I were them, I'd take the latter. I think DET takes the other.
OAK: Their situation with Kelly and Seymour makes DT a must. I think they pick Floyd
NYJ: They could take a pass-rusher. But with Star on the board, I don't think Ryan will be able to resist taking a very talented NT. They take Lotulelei.
TEN: Will take Richardson if BUF takes Warmack
NOS: Conversion to 34 will be problematic without a NT - the most critical position in the scheme. Big kids with high level of kids don't appear on every draft. They gotta take an NT. Of the available DTs, my guess is they pick the one who is closest to being ready to start. That would be Hankins.
PIT: I have them picking a backfill to Harrison. However, Hampton is FA. Behind Hampton, they have McLendon (maybe too small to play PIT style of 34) and Taamu. My guess is they get a vet from FA if Taamu is not ready. It is possible they pick another padawan to learn from whichever vet they bring in. That could be J Williams. If they want someone close to starting they could pick S Williams.
IND: Same situation as NOS. Of available DTs who can play nose, they pick the one closest to being ready to start. My guess is that would be S Williams. If he's gone, the pick here could be Jenkins.
MIN: Will certainly pick a WR with one of their first rounders. The other pick should be on D. The D struggled against the pass. Yesterday, I thought that reinforcing the front 4 would be the way to go for them. But TP's CB pick made me analyze MIN a little more. That D ranks #5 in total sacks and #5 in sack yards lost. On the other hand they rank #27 on opp pass completion rate. This makes me believe that their issue is more in the secondary. I think TP nailed this one. They probably will pick a CB.
GBP: Not many predict GBP to pick a DT. That said, if you watched their last playoff game, the front 5 looked really slow vs. SFF. If I have to guess which position they will target improving, it will be 33 yr old Pickett, who plays to the left of Raji. I anticipate they pick whichever highly rated DT's left that has the best motor. That would be Short.
NWE: If they want a NT, they could be left with only J Williams vs Johnathan Jenkins on the board (B Williams if they want to risk waiting 'til 59). On how close to being ready to start, I think Jenkins has the advantage. For different reasons, they have very good upsides. Williams' upside is more related to what he's been able to do despite his rawness. Jenkins' upside has to do with the athleticism he shows at the weight he's at (345 lbs). In the history of the NFL, I think people have seen that the latter kind of upside is more rare. Like you, I like Jenkins here. Yet depending on where PIT goes, it's possible that only one of Jenkins and J Williams is available here.
BTW, TP, nice mock overall.
RESPONSE: Thanks Seattle.
1.) NT: I agree that a team can't run a 3-4 without a first rate NT. But, I disagree with you about Hankins being the best of the bunch. This draft is cluttered with solid NT candidates. I see Jenkins as having more upside;
2.) Jax: I'm with you. A guy like Jordan is a boom or bust type. CB Dee Milliner would be a wiser, and safer pick;
3.) Oakland: Agreed. Floyd should be their guy. But I couldn't quibble if they chose Star Lotulelei, instead;
4.) Jets: Lotulelei should be a top 8 selection.
5.) Tenn: Should be able to land Warmack. If Buffalo takes him, they could select Cooper. Both of these guys are interior OL blue-chippers;
6.) New Orleans: Could take a NT...or could wait til second round. Again, this is a deep draft for NTs;

Wednesday night in Baltimore, Ross Detwiler entered in the ninth inning to protect a four-run lead. He moved ahead, 0-2, on J.J. Hardy, the first batter he faced. On Detwiler's third pitch, Hardy grounded out to third base. In the dugout, pitching coach Steve McCatty's jaw dropped. He turned to bench coach Randy Knorr. "He's throwing a split!" McCatty said. "He's throwing it tonight!"
Detwiler had used the occasion to unveil his splitter, a new pitch that he had started practicing for only two days earlier. McCatty had taught Detwiler the grip and knew he was tinkering; he just didn't think Detwiler was ready to use it in a game. Catcher Wilson Ramos did not even know Detwiler had started throwing a splitter until he told him on the mound as he entered from the bullpen.
"You start talking about weird things out there [in the bullpen], trying new things," Detwiler said. "I just brought it into a game. I figured I'd try something new."
Wednesday provided Detwiler an ideal opportunity. "I don't think I'd do it with a runner on third in a one-run game," Detwiler said. He also used the splitter to retire Manny Machado on a grounder to first base. He threw a third splitter to Delmon Young, who took it for a ball.
Saturday night, Detwiler didn't throw any splitters as he mowed through Grady Sizemore, Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley without letting a ball leave the infield. The clean inning earned Detwiler his first win this season, and he seems to be gaining comfort in pitching in relief. In his first 22 1/3 innings this season, he posted a 5.24 ERA. In his past 17 innings, which dates from the end of May, Detwiler has a 2.12 ERA while holding opponents to a .186 average.
And he's now adding another weapon to his fastball-heavy arsenal. Detwiler first toyed with a sinker only Monday. He had never before considered using the pitch, which is thrown like a fastball with an extra-wide grip and tumbles as it travels to the plate. Tyler Clippard – whose own splitter has become a devastating weapon – suggested to Detwiler that his arm slot would be perfect for the splitter.
Detwiler feels like the splitter will provide a change of speed compared to his fastball, which he rarely strays from. Detwiler's curveball has vacillated from excellent to unusable over the past few seasons, and the splitter may give him another option. He views it as a variant to the fastball, as opposed to a brand new offspeed pitch. But it will still force hitters to worry about another pitch.
Detwiler threw three splitters Wednesday night, and he plans on continuing to hone the pitch and using it in games.
"I don't see why not," Detwiler said.
"If it works, go ahead," McCatty said. "Pretty cool."
