A midlife career change leads to hilarity in � Flemming: An American Thriller,� the upcoming Kings Mountain Little Theatre production.
A midlife career change leads to hilarity in � Flemming: An American Thriller,� the upcoming Kings Mountain Little Theatre production.
In the play, which concludes the theatre�s 2012-13 season, Henry Flemming (Frank Lattimore ) comes home from work and tells his wife Karen (Bridget Allen) that he�s sold the lucrative brokerage firm his father left him and purchased a detective agency.
Henry, from a privileged background in Westport, Conn., goes to work every morning at 8 and comes home every night at 6, said director Georgianna Wright, a 30-year community theater veteran who appeared in the KMLT production of �Arsenic and Lace� last year and directed the Greater Shelby Community Theatre production of �Hollywood Arms,� based on the Carol Burnett�s memoirs, in the fall.
The couple�s children are never home and Henry�s feelings of boredom and insignificance prompt him to change his life, Wright said.
�He�s tired of the everyday humdrum, the unimportance of his life,� Wright said. �He wants something new, exciting and fun.�
On Henry�s first case for never-present client Mr. Peterson � and much to the horror of his prim and proper wife and his wacky neighbors Suzy and Stan (Dawn Rickus and Sean Whitworth) � the Flemming living room begins to fill up with dead bodies. One of those bodies turns out to be Karen�s father Walter Larsen (Dave Allen).
�She�s less than thrilled,� Wright said.
The mystery starts when Henry buys the Acme Plaza Detective Agency. The case takes him across the world. The action, though, takes place in the Flemmings � living room, where the bar maintains a prominent place and Henry�s wife and neighbors increasingly fret about his safety.
Henry shows up at home every day more battered and disheveled. At one point, he walks through the door and says, ��It seems as if I�ve been beaten up�� as it�s a surprise to him,� Wright said.
�Karen�s main concern is that it�s ruining his wardrobe,� she said.
The play is a spoof of the film noir thrillers of the 1940s and 50s. The attitudes and motivations of crime stories from that era are captured in Henry�s transformation from a mild-mannered stockbroker into a rough private detective in the mold of Humphrey Bogart and Nick Charles, the protagonist in the 1934 novel �The Thin Man� and the 1950s television series of the same name.
The humor comes from seeing the upper crust characters thrown into a situation in which you couldn�t imagine them being, Wright said.
�For them, life is a cocktail party because they almost always have a drink in their hands, every situation calls for that,� she said.
It�s a lighter comedy with a surprise twist ending. Like any good whodunit, the mystery is solved with everybody in the room. It�s a show that should leave theatergoers pleased, Wright said.
�The best thing is Henry followed his dream and made it work,� she said. �He went through a difficult journey to get there but in the end, he realized his dream.�
Want to Go?
The Kings Mountain Little Theatre presents � Flemming : An American Thriller,� at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, at 3 p.m. Sunday and at 7:30 p.m. June 14-15 at the Joy Performance Center, 202 S. Railroad Ave., Kings Mountain. Adult tickets are $10 and student/senior tickets are $8. Reservations can be made by calling the box office at 704-730-9408 or by emailing email@example.com.

On Music
They Say It's Wonderful: Hartman and Coltrane, an AppreciationBy Matthew Kassel
Over the past month or so, I have listened to John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman, one of the greatest jazz vocal albums ever made, about once a day. I haven't tired of it, which is a testament to its durability. But I think there's more to it than that. I discovered John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman about four years ago, and it continues to enchant me. The album—composed of six slow yet easily digestible romantic ballads—may contain the most beautiful half hour of music I have heard on one CD.
I'm not trying to idealize the record. But I'm not alone in feeling so strongly. Writing in Esquire magazine in 1990, Daniel Okrent named John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman the greatest record ever made. Okrent admitted such a claim "is a fragile limb on which to walk." But he stood firm. "If you want to argue," Okrent wrote, "forget it; having listened to John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman for some fifteen years, I simply can't be moved."

Commenting on Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg's statements re running schools for profit, James Croft, Education Fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs said:
"Nick Clegg is totally wrong when it comes to running schools for profit. Evidence from Sweden shows that for-profit schools invest to ensure high-quality outcomes and that their impact tends to be greatest on those from low socio-economic backgrounds.
"Rather than being socially divisive – as Clegg states – evidence shows that giving schools greater freedom over curriculum and teaching priorities stimulates innovation and that increased competition drives up standards across the board.
"This kind of reactionary thinking is precisely what has kept our state education system in the mire for decades. Nick Clegg would do better to look at the actual facts rather than indulging in populist anti-capitalist rhetoric."
To arrange an interview with James Croft, Education Fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs, please contact Nick Hayns, Communications Officer, on firstname.lastname@example.com 020 7799 8900
Notes to editors
Schooling for Money: Swedish Education Reform and the Role of the Profit Motiveby Gabriel H Sahlgren was published in Dec 2010. Looking at the effect of for-profit schools in Sweden, it found that competition that drove improvements in the Swedish system was only possible because of the high number of for-profit schools that were established.
The mission of the Institute of Economic Affairs is to improve understanding of the fundamental institutions of a free society by analysing and expounding the role of markets in solving economic and social problems.

The trouble with birthdays is that they point out you're getting older.
Since my last birthday, I feel like I've done some cool stuff. Grown as a person and as a writer. But still, it really bummed me out that I was turning 28. (I just lost every friend 28 and older who reads this blog)
I was talking about this with a friend of mine about a month ago. It was her birthday, and she was mourning how ancient she'd become.
"How old are you?" I asked
"You know I'm a year older than you. I'm 28."
"You're-" the pinwheel of death appeared in my brain, and I had to force-quit several other thoughts to make it go away. "But hang on. If you're 28, then that means-"
So the good news is that I just turned 27, and can now confirm that putting one less candle on your cake than expected is one of the best presents ever.
The bad news is I'm gonna go get myself tested for early-onset Alzheimer's. Cause I'm not getting any younger, and I just forgot how freaking old I was.
Tags: feel free to shower me with gifts, happy birthday to me, it's technically june 20, note to self- i was 27 in 2010

Hey gang:
Some sad news. Robert Washington passed away on June 6th, 2012. He was a board game GM at past Ubercons and I roomed with him at one Ubercon. One of the games he ran and liked was "Venus Needs Men." He was in the Intensive Care unit of the hospital and died of a heart attack. He went through some hard times financially towards the end. He lived in NYC and was in the NYC Boardgames and Cardgames meetup. Despite his hardships, he was always kind and willing to teach people to play new games. He was only 47 years old. He will be missed.

It's a little-known yet alarming fact: The lighting industry and its customers are under attack — and have been for some time. Similar to the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo, strict control and a steady reduction of rare earth metal exports — the vital components for manufacturing energy-efficient fluorescent lamps and the light-producing element of all fluorescent lighting — have led to hyperinflation that has reached as high as 3,500% since January 2010. As a result, lamp costs have seen a 100% to 120% increase over the past 18 months. To put this into perspective, imagine this scenario. A gallon of milk would cost $28.80, if it experienced the same rate of inflation as neodymium (a rare earth metal used to simulate full spectrum light similar to true daylight). Despite this reality, the industry has remained passive in addressing a very obvious issue. I, for one, think it's time to take action.
First, let's explore the underlying issue. In the 1990s, China entered the rare earth market and essentially underpriced all other providers and forced them out of business. Today, the Chinese control 97% of the world's production of rare earth metals. Making matters worse is the fact that they slashed export permits by 72% in the spring of 2010 and another 35% in early 2011, resulting in restricted supply and skyrocketing prices.
There is both good and bad news in this story. The good news is that this crisis has renewed interest in rare earth mining around the world today. The bad news is that building new mines and the separation facilities that extract the rare earth metals requires a huge investment (hundreds of millions of dollars) — and can take seven to 10 years to become fully operational. Given the fact that fluorescent lighting is still the primary lighting source used in the electrical industry, our options seem limited. However, there are things we can do. Our industry should go beyond just recommending energy-efficient extended life lamps to reduce customers' lighting costs. We need to reduce our dependence on the rare earth metals that make up our lamps in the first place!
Lighting retrofits, which upgrade a lighting system to operate with new technology, are the best possible solution for reducing lighting costs. By design, retrofits increase the energy efficiency and quality of a lighting system while maintaining appropriate lighting levels. A well-planned retrofit can maintain lighting levels and reduce the overall number of lamps within a facility by up to 50%. This not only reduces the number of lamps needed to be purchased and maintained, but also slashes your total lighting budget, because energy accounts for approximately 85% of lighting costs. Additionally, many electric utilities offer incentive programs and provide rebates for lighting retrofits. While this option may require capital expenditures, retrofits are the best long-term approach for reducing lighting costs while also reducing demand for lamps with rare earth metals.
A recent case study clearly highlights how a lighting retrofit can save the most money in the long run. In working with a leading sports retailer, Rogers Electric developed an upgrade solution that cut lamp counts by 50% while still improving lighting and reducing energy costs. Each retail location saved approximately $23,000 a year in energy costs. The lighting retrofit also increased lamp life from 18,000 hours to 40,000 hours, extended relamp times dramatically to 42 months, and established a full warranty on all lamps, eliminating any additional lamp costs over that time. A significant portion of the work performed even qualified for rebates from electric utilities. In summary, the project resulted in better lighting, lower energy costs, zero maintenance costs, and a 50% reduction in lamp counts.
While some of us may have avoided the rare earth metals crisis so far, significant lamp cost increases are imminent. Let's not allow history to repeat itself. Instead, let's take a stand to protect our industry and our customers by reducing our dependence on foreign markets. Together, we can take proactive steps to reduce our dependence on rare earth metals and mitigate the inevitable increased lighting costs we face.
Gilcrease is lighting division president for Atlanta-based Rogers Electric. He has more than 40 years of experience in the lighting, electrical, and energy management field.

Here's a video of a performance from a few months ago when I was in Milan. I've tweaked and improved the presentation and handling slightly since this but thought of sharing it. One change is to let the spectator hold the deck while they are doing the shuffling and cutting from the start, instead of having it on the table. That makes it much more fluid. I present this as mind reading but since it uses a deck of cards I put it in this section.

Hearing Aids
Hearing aids are small devices that are worn in or behind one or both ears to make sounds louder. A hearing aid may correct a conductive hearing loss to a normal or near-normal level if it is caused by a malformation of the middle or outer ear. For a significant sensorineural hearing loss, a hearing aid may help but will not bring hearing back completely.
Hearing aids come in many sizes, shapes, and styles. Some fit in the outer ear or ear canal and are for mild to severe hearing loss. Others fit behind the ear and are attached to a plastic ear mold that goes inside the outer ear. These hearing aids are for people with mild to profound hearing loss. Some people with profound hearing loss use a body aid. This is a larger hearing aid that is attached to a belt or put in a pocket and connected by a wire to the ear.
A hearing aid is made up of:
- A microphone to bring in sounds
- An amplifier to increase the volume of sounds
- A speaker or earpiece to send the sounds to the ear
- A battery for power
The electronic mechanisms in hearing aids can be analog or digital. More advanced analog aids can be programmed by the wearer to accommodate different sound environments. Digital aids use a computer chip and provide even more flexibility in different environments. However, they are the most expensive type of hearing aid.
It can take time and patience to get used to a hearing aid because things sound different. Some people need to try more than one hearing aid to find one that works well for them.
Assistive Devices
An assistive listening device (ALD) is any kind of device that can help you in your communication activities. It can be used with or without hearing aids to deal with problems of background noise, distance, or poor room acoustics.
Some examples of ALDs include:
- Personal frequency modulation (FM) systems—The system has a transmitter microphone that the speaker uses and a receiver that you, the listener, use. If you use a hearing aid, the receiver sends the sound to it. This type of system is useful in many settings, such as classroom lectures, meetings, or restaurants. In large group settings, such as auditoriums, movie theaters, and places of worship, the transmitter may be built into the main sound system.
- Infrared systems—These are often used in your home with TV sets, but can also be used in large settings like meeting halls. Sound is sent by infrared light waves.
- Many other types of equipment are made with amplifying devices for people with hearing loss. They include telephones, cell phones, answering machines, computers, and wake-up alarms.
- There are also different types of alerting devices that can give you a visual signal or a vibration you can feel. These are made for things like doorbells, telephones, alarm clocks, smoke detectors, and paging systems. Other systems that work visually are text telephones, which enable conversations to be typed and read, and captions on TV and movies.
Implanted Devices
A cochlear implant is a small electronic device that can help provide sound to a child or adult with a severe hearing loss. It is surgically implanted under the skin behind the ear. This device picks up sounds through a microphone, processes them, converts them into electrical impulses, and transmits them past the damaged or nonworking parts of the inner ear to the brain. The microphone and transmitter are worn in a headpiece just behind the ear, and the sound processor is placed in a pocket or on a belt. The receiver and electrode system are implanted.
A cochlear implant does not create or bring back normal hearing. However, it can help many people understand their environment and speech and communicate fully in person and over the telephone. The amount a cochlear can help depends on a number of factors, including:
- How long you have had hearing loss
- The age at hearing loss
- The age at implant
- How quickly you learn
- The health and structure of your cochlea
The decision to have an implant should be made with medical specialists, such as an otolaryngologist, which is a surgeon specializing in ear, nose, and throat conditions. The procedure involves some risk of complications, as does any surgery, and is expensive. It also takes time and patience to learn to understand sounds from the implant.
The Esteem system is used to treat sensorineural hearing loss in adults. It attaches to the middle ear bones. Like the cochlear implant, this is another type of device that is implanted behind the ear. Esteem consists of 3 parts:
- Sensor—senses vibrations and changes them into electric signals
- Processor—amplifies the signals
- Driver—changes the electric signals back into vibrations and amplifies the vibrations, allowing the person to hear the sound
Communication Techniques
- Face the person with whom you are talking so that you can see their facial expressions and lips moving.
- Ask other people to speak louder and more clearly.
- Turn off background noise, such as from a TV or radio.
- In public places such as restaurants, choose a place to sit that is away from noise.
Lip reading, also called speech reading, involves paying close attention to how a person's mouth and body are moving when they talk to help you understand what they are saying. Special trainers can assist you in learning how to do this.
American Sign Language (ASL) is the most common form of sign language used in the United States. It uses signs made with the hands, facial expressions, and other body movements. ASL is a separate language from English with different rules for grammar, punctuation, and sentence order. There are other types of sign language that are based on English, such as spelling out English words with hand signs.

Fix for perl 5.010.1 - the code to check the version and act correctly
on regexp refs treated .1 as behaving like 5.011.
Document behaviour of cmp_bag when a non ARRAY-ref argument is passed
to it. Explicity test for this a die with a useful message.
Document and export cmp_details and deep_diag, thanks to Tom Hukins
for the patch.
Detect whether isa() is being called with 1 or 2 arguments and
dispatch to the correct function. This is hacky but fixes the problem
of clashing with UNIVERSAL::isa().
Behave well when a code comparator doesn't give diagnostics. Thanks to
Alex Kapranoff.
Fix an overloading problem with All and Any. Thanks to Kostas
Chatzikokolakis for reporting the bug and especially for explaining
how to fix it :)
Added a nasty hack to smooth over a problem in Test::Tester.
Apply patch from Andreas Koenig (ANDK) to cope with Perl 5.11's new
REGEXP objects.
Don't explode on perl's that don't have weakrefs. If they're not
available, just don't weaken the refs. It means refs can be cached for
longer than desirable but it's better than explodiing.
This doesn't fix all of te problems with perl 5.005 but I'm pushing it
out because the previous version number upsets CPAN.pm.
Cleaned up Test::Deep::NoTest by making it call Test::Deep's import,
that way it will always be in sync for exports. Also added some POD
Added notest_extra.t to check that things are correctly exported and
Add cmp_details but left it undocumented. It manages localising the
stack etc. Factored eq_deeply and cmp_deeply through that. This meant
adding an icky hack into deep_diag. I should clean that whole thing up.
Remove $name from params of eq_deeply, in code and docs, it was unused.
Fixed doc typo for re().
Fix diagnostics for code(), it was always printing undef instead of
the got value.
%WrapCache was keeping references to external data. It's now local()ised at the start of a comparison just like the other caches (why I didn't do that when I added it, I don't know). Thanks to Matthijs Bomhoff for reporting the problem.
Docs and code didn't match, useclass was actually requireclass, available as
both now
Changed Set and Bag to no longer issue warnings when undefs are
present. Needed to make the sort and the diagnotics
undef-aware. Thanks to Colin Kuskie for pointing this out.
Added tests for this.
Fixed inifinte recursion when adding comparators into bags. That whole area is unpleasant - conceptually as well as implementation-wise. Comparators no longer inherit a compare method, so we only call the specialised compare if it exists, otherwise we just do normal deep comparison.
Removed a debugging print.
Got the if backwards for loading Test::Builder (again for NoTest - simples changes...). No ill effects for most people as they load it via something else any but ApacheSession for example doesn't.
Now tetsing for lack of testing framework.
Forgot to export lots of stuff via NoTest
Added Test::Builder::NoTest so that eq_deeply can be use entirely without
Wasn't corrrectly setting $Test::Builder::Level in cmp_bag, cmp_set and
cmp_methods, this caused test error messages to include the wrong line/file.
Whitespace changes.
Slight twiddle to silence warnings from the new Test::Tester thanks to
cmp_methods, cmp_bag and cmp_set weren't passing on the test name. Thanks to
Alex Kapranoff for the patch.
Add $tolerance to Number so now you can check that 2 numbers are equal, give
or take a little bit.
Autogenerating most of the convenience constructor routines, deleted nearly
200 lines of boilerplate. Why didn't I think of that before?
Almost every test script had the same lines at the beginning. These are now
in t/std.pm, another 200 lines of code (well 50% whitespace) gone. Happy.
Added use warnings to the test scripts, didn't make a difference.
Added inspection of strings captured from a regex and fixed up some re() doc
When a hash or array value or amethod does not exist and the expected value
was a reference, the diagnostics were wrong because it headed into Reftype
tests. Now Test::Deep::descend catches "Does not exist" early on.
Added listmethods()
Added subhashof and superhashof, restructured various Hash modules to handle
sub and super.
Got rid of unexported hash_elements from Test::Deep.
Fixed a problem with circular set comparisons.
The cache is more efficient, using a single layer and weak refs, also
previously it could be fooled by reused addresses for objects (this is not
just theoretical).
Now Test::Deep::descend is responsible for pushing onto the stack as well as
pulling, this means most tests don't need to think about the stack at all
For the stack stuff, had to create lots of "only" modules these are tests
that should never be called on their own as they make assumptions about the
validity of the data, they are used as subtests inside others
cleaned up lots of copy and paste Data::Dumper and confess and various other
bits and pieces
Test::Deep::Cmp (and it's descendants) autopush themselves onto the stack of
any Test::Deep::* that uses them. Cuts even more cruft.
Now everything uses the compare in Test::Deep::Cmp which just does a deep
comparison. This is not perfect for All and Set but it's as good as what was
happeneing before now.
Wrapping unknown reftypes as shallow
Got rid of silly use lib in the tests, shouldn't have been in public
Added dependency on Test::More
Moved from type =>, vals => to exp =>, got => in stack entries
Individual descend()s no longer pop their data from the stack, that's taken
care of by Test::Deep::descend. This made things simpler in all the
Added support for sub/super se/bag comparisons, thanks to Boris Sukholitko
Added scalarref.t
Got rid of struct mode for num()
Large internal changes, now using a stack object rather than just an array.
This handles rendering the stack.
The comparisons handle rendering the got and expected values now.
num() and str() numify/stringify before comparing, this makes overload of ==
or eq irrelevant. This also prevents problems with the diag when something
stringifies differently to it's numificiation or differently each time you
fixed diag of overloaded refs to display the ref value, not the overloaded
nicer diags for booleans
Slight doc fix
Added coderef calling as a test
Fixed number.t to skip strict test when if Scalar::Util is not right
Major improvement of docs. No longer reads like it was written by a drunken
Overhaul of Test::Deep::descend, native types are now wrapped up in a
Test::Deep:Cmp object, moves lots of logic out of descend
Added ArrayLength, HashKeys, RefType, and Blessed comparisons
All tests now use Test::NoWarnings
Broke out descend tests into hash.t, array, regexpref.t, probably should
break out more
Updated version of Scalar::Util dependency, thanks to Steve Purkis
No longer using overload::StrVal() for looking behind overloads as it's
broken for Regexp refs in some versions of Perl.
Documented bool and included the files!!
cmp_deeply(undef, \"") calls overload::StrVal(undef)
added bool test
using Scalar::Util to get reftype and blessed class
Added prereq to Makefile.PL
First release

Kathryn Tucker Windham (1918-2011) is best known for her series of ghost story collections, beginning with 13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey in 1969, as well as numerous other publications, photography, and storytelling. Windham's work focuses on the South's multilayered lifeways and evokes positive qualities of the human experience: family, community, tolerance, good humor, laughter, and joy.
Windham was born in Selma, Dallas County, on June 2, 1918, to James Wilson Tucker and Helen Gaines Tabb Tucker. She grew up in Thomasville, Clarke County, the youngest of a large family. Her interest in Alabama lifeways began early. Her father, a banker, was a gifted storyteller. Windham also absorbed family history and lore from her mother, a former teacher, and her aunt, Tab Forster, the Thomasville postmistress. Young Kathryn attended public schools in Thomasville and in 1930, at age 12, began writing movie reviews for the Thomasville Times, owned by her cousin Earl Tucker. That year, early one morning, she sat on the sidewalk in front of People's Drug Company in Thomasville to be first in line for a Brownie camera given away as part of Eastman Kodak's 50th-anniversary promotion. Writing and photography would become lifelong pursuits.
In 1935, Windham graduated from Thomasville High School as class valedictorian, then attended Huntingdon College in Montgomery, graduating in 1939. She first worked in Thomasville as a freelance journalist and in March 1940 was hired by The Alabama Journal in Montgomery as a feature writer and police reporter, replacing a male reporter who was entering military service. She was one of the first women to cover the police beat for a major daily newspaper in the South. In 1942, she moved to Birmingham, where she served as publicity director for the Alabama War Bond Committee. The following year, Windham began working for the Birmingham News editing articles on state news and aviation and serving as a courthouse reporter. There, she also took photographs with the newspaper's Graflex camera.
Windham married Amasa Benjamin Windham, a journalist, editor, and World War II veteran in 1946, and the couple would have three children. The family later moved to Selma, where Kathryn wrote freelance articles for Progressive Farmer magazine and many Alabama newspapers, and from 1950 to 1966 penned a locally syndicated newspaper column "Around Our House." She also raised the Windhams' children, Kathryn Tabb "Kitti" Windham, Amasa Benjamin "Ben" Windham Jr., and Helen Ann "Dilcy" Windham Hilley. (She had two grandsons, David Wilson Windham and Benjamin Douglas Hilley.) After Amasa Windham died in 1956, Windham joined the staff of The (Selma) Times-Journal, where she worked until 1973.
While in Selma, Windham began writing and publishing the first of some 20 books, the initial one being Treasured Alabama Recipes. Her eight-book series of ghost stories began in 1964. Alabama: One Big Front Porch (1975), one of Windham's most popular books, is a compilation of stories, lore, and recipes from across the state.
In 1982, Windham worked on a Birmingham Public Library project on Gee's Bend, a rural African American community in a bend of the Alabama River in Wilcox County, now nationally known for its quilters. During her visits to Gee's Bend, Windham produced a long report, including interviews and observations. She and Birmingham photographer John Reese took extensive photographs, including a series depicting Pleasant Grove Baptist Church's baptism ceremony in a local creek.
Windham was also known for her storytelling and radio broadcasts. In 1974, she was a featured teller in the second National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee, eventually appearing there more than a dozen times. Beginning in 1984, Windham's commentaries were heard every Friday morning on Alabama Public Radio. Between 1985 and 1987, they also were broadcast on "All Things Considered" for National Public Radio. Windham also developed her personal interest in Julia Tutwiler into a "living portrayal" of Tutwiler, which she first performed in period costume at the Birmingham Public Library in 1981.
Even before she acquired her first Brownie camera in 1930, Windham had been interested in photography. From the 1940s, she took photographs as a journalist, and when she travelled around Alabama for pleasure or to cover stories, she was rarely without her camera. By the 1980s, she began including some of her photographs in her books.
In 1989, Windham's photographs were included in the major traveling exhibition In View of Home: Alabama Landscape Photographs, organized by the Huntsville Museum of Art. Her work also appeared in the 1992 Amazing Alabama exhibition in Montgomery, organized for the Retirement Systems of Alabama. In August 1993, the Huntsville Museum of Art invited Windham to make the presentation "Words into Pictures" for its endowed Marriott Lecture series. The museum mounted a one-person exhibition of 28 of her finest photographs: Encounters 24. Kathryn Tucker Windham. This exhibition led to publication of a book of her photographs and stories, Encounters. Kathryn Tucker Windham, in 1998.
It is highly unusual for a talented wordsmith also to be a gifted photographer, but Kathryn Tucker Windham used both forms of media to communicate memorably about southern culture. Whether telling stories, commenting on southern customs, passing along cherished recipes, or capturing Alabama life in photographs, her work has a unity that centers on her powers of observation and memory and her love for the South, its people, and its lifeways. Windham's achievements have led to numerous awards and honors, not the least of which is the Kathryn Tucker Windham Museum at Alabama Southern Community College in her home town of Thomasville.
Windham died on June 12, 2011, and was buried in the New Live Oak Cemetery in Selma, in a custom-made pine casket that she had kept in a shed in her backyard. Windham was inducted into the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame in March 2015. She was inducted into the Alabama Newspaper Hall of Honor at Auburn University in April 2018.

The study, which included intentionally dosing volunteers with a
virus, found that the more diverse your set of social relationships -
friends, relatives, co-workers, neighbors, fellow members of religious
and community organizations - the less likely you are to catch a cold.
People having contact at least once every two weeks with six or more
types of relationships fought off colds best and had less than
one-fourth the risk of becoming sick when compared with those who had
only one to three types of relationships.
The total number of people contacted didn't matter, the diversity of
the contacts did. For example, someone talking only to co-workers-even
if that amounts to dozen of people in the course of two weeks-is less
protected than a person who relates to just six people from different
social networks: for example, spouse, parent, child, boss, neighbor
and fellow church member.
So friends can be good medicine. Apparently, we need them not only to bring us chicken soup when we're sick, but to prevent getting colds in the first place. Other studies suggest that those with more diversified social networks live longer than their counterparts with fewer types of social relationships.
The impact of such social relationships on mortality may be comparable to that of smoking.
Additional note: The study also found increased susceptibility to colds among those who smoked, exercised 2 or fewer times per week, slept poorly, drank one or less alcoholic drinks per day, or had low intake of dietary vitamin C.

The comparative distribution of sound pressure variations throughout a given space, or the process by which a sound wave is distributed in the space. If sound pressure is uniformly distributed throughout the space, the sound is said to be well diffused.
Diffusion of sound is important in concert halls, classrooms, studios and the like in order to avoid dead spots, places where the sound is weak or cannot be heard clearly. (Source: Barry Truax - Handbook for Acoustic Ecology CD-ROM Edition. Cambridge Street Publishing, 1999 - CSR-CDR 9901)

Friday, November 16, 2012: 1:45 PM-5:30 PM
Continental 8 (Hilton San Francisco)
On an upsurge since the 1980s "Writing Culture" debate, the anthropology of literature and writing has a long history of border crossings. It involves the role of literature and literary texts in anthropology, and it is concerned with writing as process and form. There is a sense that the writing of fiction, poetry, and drama can offer elements and passages of an ethnographic nature, which in turn speaks to the idea of the writer as ethnographer. The same may be said of literary translations of works by indigenous authors. Literary works of all kinds are frequently included as a particular kind of data in anthropological research, also by anthropologists who do not otherwise take a special interest in literature. Many anthropologists seek out works set in their fieldsite areas by local writers or performers of oral literature, in order to gain further insights into cultural values and social circumstances that are the topics of their research. Such works are also used in teaching and appear on reading lists in general anthropology courses, even in graduate-level seminars. At the same time, inspired by the richness of their ethnography, anthropologists write novels, short stories, creative nonfiction (a genre that is now a staple of most MFA programs in creative writing), poems, memoirs, and detective stories–genres that offer opportunities to tell previously untold stories from the field. To hone and teach skills in these various genres, courses on experimental writing, ethnographic writing, anthropological writing genres, literary translation, even creative writing are now taught by anthropologists. No doubt the "experimental turn" in anthropological writing is influenced by the style and structure of fiction, as well as by poetry, plays, performance and installation art–and, the technology of new media (including the ubiquitous blogging and online "social media"), as well as by indigenous productions. A number of prominent contemporary writers had some anthropological training, but left the academy for careers in fiction (e.g., Amitav Ghosh, Saul Bellow, Kurt Vonnegut), science fiction (Ursula K. LeGuin), poetry (e.g., Gary Snyder, Octavio Paz, Nathaniel Tarn), screenwriting (George Lucas, Joan Campion), or songwriting (e.g. Mick Jagger, Tracy Chapman). Increasingly, literary and reading communities are the objects of study by anthropologists. This panel brings together papers discussing the engagement of anthropology with a variety of literary texts and authors. How can such encounters contribute theoretically to anthropology? What does the crossing of conventional borders between anthropology and literature entail for anthropology's relationship with other academic disciplines, and for its reach to a wider audience?
This session would be of particular interest to:Those involved in mentoring activities, Students, Teachers of Anthropology in Community Colleges, Practicing and Applied Anthropologists

From the Land of the Labyrinth: Minoan Crete, 3000–1100 B.C. presents more than 280 artifacts and works of art from the ancient land of Crete, most of which have never been shown outside Greece.
The show brings to light aspects of Minoan daily life during the second and third millennia B.C., including social structure, communications, bureaucratic organization, religion, and technology.
In eleven thematic sections, the exhibition maps chronologically the establishment and great achievements of Minoan culture. Here the viewer can explore the historical and cultural context of this celebrated society and gain insight into its mysteries, such as the legends surrounding the reign of King Minos of Knossos, who commissioned the fabled Labyrinth of Greek mythology.

This is just a really, really short basic howto for setting up the poulsbo X driver and VAAPI video acceleration on Ubuntu 10.04. I will post more details later.
1. Install the poulsbo driver:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gma500/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gma500/fix
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install poulsbo-driver-3d
2. Set up the Xorg.conf:
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
Section "Device"
Identifier "GMA500"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "DRI" "on"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option "IgnoreACPI" "yes"
Driver "psb"
3. Reboot, check it's all working.
4. Download the right mplayer version:
wget http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/mplayer-vaapi/mplayer-vaapi-20100114.i686.tar.bz2
unp mplayer-vaapi*
5. Install the necessary libraries: (you can remove mplayer then, but it's the easiest method)
sudo apt-get install mplayer libgtop2-7
6. and play
mplayer -vo vaapi -va vaapi testfile.avi
If mplayer doesn't run because of missing libraries, this command will show which libraries are missing:
ldd mplayer-vaapi*/mplayer
Be quick, before the instructions change due to new repositories, libraries, etc... But don't everything to work flawlessly! My system doesn't even go into suspend, but crashes. Hence it can't come out of suspend, either. Backlight control still doesn't work for me. And I still have to do more testing on mplayer to see how smooth VAAPI actually is.
Theoretically, installing VLC 1.1.0 with VAAPI should be as easy as this:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:c-korn/vlc && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc
But it didn't work out of the box for me and I didn't care about why. If you have hints, questions or - yes- comments, please post in the comments.

As Jesse Walker sees it, the Land of the Free is rife with paranoid theories about everyone and everything.
We always have been a nation that seeks out subversives lurking in the amber waves of grain. And we always will be, though the Towson author says that America isn't more paranoid than any other nation.
Nor is distrust, suspicion and hyper-vigilance always an irrational response. History has too often proved otherwise.
"I'm not setting out in this book to prove or debunk any particular conspiracy theory," Walker says a few days before coming to the Ivy Bookshop to discuss his new history of conspiracy theories, "The United States of Paranoia."
"Some people actually do conspire. The world is filled with plots."
The problem, says Walker, 42, the books editor for Reason magazine, it's just that it's so hard to tell which demons are real and which are figments of our imagination.
In his book, Walker identifies five common conspiracy myths:
•The enemy without. A foreign adversary is trying to take away our cherished way of life. Example: We should declare war on Iraq because Saddam Hussein is stockpiling weapons of mass destruction.
•The enemy within. We're being sabotaged by evildoers who look just like us and are bent on making converts. Example: Homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to teach in elementary or high schools because they are driven to prey on vulnerable children.
•The enemy above. We're being manipulated by elite institutions plotting to take away our liberties. Example: President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by the CIA.
•The enemy below. The lowest levels of society are mindless beasts plotting an insurrection. Example: Walker argues that the woefully inadequate federal relief efforts following Hurricane Katrina resulted in part from exaggerated rumors of civil disorder that sparked an "elite paranoia."
•Benevolent conspiracies. A higher power is watching over us and trying to improve our lives. There's often an underlying assumption that the "enlightened" should rule over the unenlightened for their own good. Pop culture example: Dan Brown's blockbuster novel "The DaVinci Code."
What's your definition of a conspiracy theory?
For me, a "conspiracy theory" is a whole family of stories about cabals, assassinations, aliens and so on, anything that involves secret, influential activity involving more than one figure. When I was a teenager, I started reading serious books about the CIA and the FBI and official misbehavior that came out in the 1970s.
Often on the same shelves were books that I found a bit more dubious, where the evidence was shakier. I began thinking of conspiracy theories as stories or folklore.
Conspiracy theories are a way of ordering our psychic space. They're a way of concretizing our anxieties as a society. You can learn a lot from folklore, even when the folklore is false.
What other traits do conspiracy myths have in common?
Conspiracy theories are what happen when our natural human tendency to find patterns and tell stories meets our natural human tendency to have suspicions that things are going on that we can't entirely perceive.
I want people to know that conspiracy theories aren't new. They've been around for as long as there has been European settlement in America.
It's also important to know that conspiracy theories aren't just a feature of the fringe or of political minorities. They've always been present in the political center and among members of the establishment as well as among dissidents at political extremes.
I was also struck again and again by how malleable conspiracy theories are. They can change on a dime. Something that's a benevolent conspiracy to one audience becomes the enemy outside to someone else. Or the identity of the enemy can evolve over time.
Is there a peculiarly American "flavor" of conspiracy theories?
The classic American narrative is the enemy without and historically, it dates back to Colonial times.
Native Americans were persecuted because they represented the anarchic New World and were perceived as agents of disorder. In contrast, Roman Catholics were persecuted because they represented the aristocratic Old World we had just overthrown. That tension runs throughout American history.
I would expect a totalitarian society to have fewer "enemy without" stories and more "enemy above" stories. We are a more transparent society. But democracy has its own anxieties.
Is one form of conspiracy myth more potentially damaging than any other?
That depends on your politics. From my point of view, the enemy outside, the enemy within and the enemy below theories often are used to justify attacks on civil liberties.
I tend to be more indulgent of enemy above conspiracy theories. I think it's good to be skeptical of power. I just wish these theories were grounded more in good journalism instead of going off half-cocked.
But in terms of the sheer amount of damage done, the paranoia of a large political institution always will have greater consequence than the paranoia of an individual outlier.
Don't you come uncomfortably close to defining all religions as benevolent conspiracies? Are you concerned that you'll be accused of reductionism by your more spiritually oriented readers?
Yeah, theories of conspiracy theory often intersect with religion. A person of one religion generally is skeptical toward all other religions.
But you can't analyze American culture without analyzing American religion. I don't think that a Bible-believing Christian will have a hard time accepting the notion that someone who believes in benevolent aliens believes in a secularized version of angels. They might think they're right and the other person is wrong, but they'll understand that it's the same family of beliefs.
Again, I'm not out to debunk anyone's faith. I'm offering a theory of conspiracy thinking, not a theory of religion. People are free to adopt whatever spiritual path they want. I'm not trying to dissuade them.
What final insight do you hope readers will come away with after reading your book?
I became aware of how easy it is to create a compelling conspiracy narrative and how hard it was to avoid falling into it.
Conspiracy theorists are at their best and most useful when they're pointing out the holes in the evidence that people take for granted. They're at their worst when they're contriving alternative narratives to explain those holes.
I want people to come away being skeptical of all narratives — especially their own.

Martin, TN
Mary Unger planned a career search during her senior year just as she has approached most any other goal in life – with tenacity and creativity. And, the result of that search mirrors the results to many of her endeavors – success.
Unger, who will graduate May 14, has accepted an offer with Apple in Nashville, where she will be an associate in the Apple Store Leader Program. It is a 24-month immersion to learn every aspect of managing and operating an Apple retail store. At the end of the program, she'll have the opportunity to secure a leadership position at one of the Apple stores anywhere in the world.
"When trying to figure out what I wanted to do after graduation, I had a variety of plans in mind, but I wasn't sure specifically what I wanted to pursue … so I decided to just start looking around," she said.
Slightly addicted to Google, Unger searched for the best companies for college graduates to start their careers. Lists of different corporations popped up, and she started applying for a variety of jobs last November. "The interviews I received all were mainly with larger corporations that offered programs for recent college graduates," she said. "I started interviews in January, and I learned several new interview techniques that I used in later interviews."
She also learned that she didn't necessarily have to graduate with a specific degree from UT Martin; instead, companies considered her employment history throughout school, how active she was in organizations on campus and her overall grade-point average.
"It'll be a great experience, not only to work with one of the most successful companies in the world," Unger said of Apple, "but also be surrounded by interesting individuals who share my same interests and goals."
Unger began at UT Martin as a biology major with a concentration in cell and molecular biology, hoping to pursue a career in the medical field. "This quickly changed when I realized that I had more of a creative side that I wanted to implement when thinking about my future career path." She added, "I've always loved to write and interact with people, and I learned that those were two major factors in working in public relations."
She's also certain that she learned the skills necessary to help her succeed. "The main skill I've learned from UT Martin is how to communicate effectively in my future workplace and use my skills to be a successful leader in and outside of the office."
The two extracurricular organizations from which she benefited the most were Alpha Delta Pi and the Student Government Association. "Going Greek made me meet so many new people, helped me grow as a person, and allowed me to be part of a family that I closely relate to and can stay connected with the rest of my life," Unger said. "The Student Government Association not only let me connect to my peers, but it also allowed me to network with the administration on this campus. SGA works towards the betterment of the university, and I am so thankful to have been a part of it."
While a student, Unger claimed a number of awards, including Outstanding Communications Student for two consecutive years and the Spring 2011 Beth Maloan Outstanding UT Martin Student Employee Award.
Unger also pursued several internships. As a political science minor, she thought it was important to gain experience in that field in case she decided to pursue a career in government or politics. During the summer of 2010, she interned with the Tennessee Democratic Party in Nashville and was allowed to help in the 2010 elections. "It taught me to not be afraid when speaking to anyone, and it also let me experience living in a different place."
Her most beneficial experience was provided by the UT Martin Office of University Relations, where she worked as a student intern for two years. "It not only expanded my portfolio and taught me great skills in writing, but it allowed me to be surrounded by individuals that had similar mindsets and had the same passion for communications that I do," she said.
Interaction with students and faculty and hands-on experience are things she will remember most about her college years. "The faculty members are so personal with their approach in teaching, and I think that gave me a better learning experience." She added, "UT Martin gave me the opportunity to truly connect with all the individuals around me, while learning coursework that will be beneficial in my everyday life."

Battery Point is a district of San Fierro, San Andreas. It is situated under the Gant Bridge at the city's northwestern tip. To the east is Esplanade North; to the south are Juniper Hollow and Palisades. This area is modeled after San Francisco's Fort Point, which sits underneath the famous Golden Gate Bridge, after which the Gant Bridge is modeled. Like Fort Point, Battery Point provides stunning scenery and a chance to unwind and enjoy the bay.
Frequenters of Battery Point are very diverse, as people from all over San Fierro come to this district to relax and enjoy their city's natural beauty. Pedestrian traffic is heavy around Jizzy's Pleasure Domes, which sit directly underneath Gant Bridge's scaffolding, providing after-hours adult entertainment.
Battery Point is also a stronghold for the local San Fierro Rifa gang, who is led by T-Bone Mendez, a member of the Loco Syndicate. The Da Nang Boys also have territory for their gang in Battery Point with many members seen walking around the area. On ocassions, there are shootouts between both gangs in this area.
There is a uncommon glitch that makes the Varrios Los Aztecas spawn at Battery Point and attack the San Fierro Rifas in the area.
Events of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
After his arrival in San Fierro, Carl Johnson has some hard work ahead of him: the garage he won in a street race with Claude and Catalina is in desperate need of renovation, and the entity responsible for the events leading up to this point, the Loco Syndicate, is largely based in this new city, with its most prominent figures close by. With the help of his newly acquired friends, The Truth, Dwaine, Jethro, and Zero and his closest ally from Los Santos, Cesar Vialpando, Carl manages to not only turn the derelict garage into a successful chop-shop, but also establishes himself as an entrepreneurial force in San Fierro by acquiring properties and businesses throughout the city.
Carl then turns his attention to dealing with the Loco Syndicate. He learns that the San Fierro muscle end of the syndicate is headed up by the pimp Jizzy B., whose Pleasure Domes sit under the Gant Bridge in Battery Point. Carl makes several trips out to Battery Point in order to gain Jizzy's trust by working for him as what Jizzy refers to as "dumb muscle". After successfully eliminating Jizzy's competition throughout San Fierro, Carl meets another head of the syndicate, T-Bone Mendez, at Jizzy's place in Battery Point. Mendez then receives a call from a kidnapped Mike Toreno, who is calling from a dying cell phone. The three men locate and rescue Toreno, finally allowing Carl the pleasure of his acquaintance. Toreno turns out to be the man behind everything Carl has experienced thus far.
With the pieces of the puzzle finally in place, Carl begins his systematic destruction of the Loco Syndicate by paying Jizzy an unexpected visit at the Pleasure Domes. Carl sneaks in and confronts him, but Jizzy runs out the front door, and forces Carl to pursue him in a high-speed automobile chase through Battery Point and into the Palisades and Paradiso districts of San Fierro. After killing Jizzy and snatching his cell phone, Carl is able to locate and kill both T-Bone Mendez and his old GSF associate Ryder during an ambush of a meeting between syndicate members at Pier 69 in Esplanade North.
