Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes did not do a very good job of getting open against Steelers corner Ike Taylor on Sunday. He had only three catches for 28 yards despite being targeted 11 times. Sometimes Holmes didn't make the catch because he was interfered with. And sometimes he didn't make the catch because he imagined he was interfered with. This video doesn't even include the laughable fourth-quarter 19-yard pass interference on Taylor. That call was so bad Holmes hadn't even thought to ask for a flag beforehand. [CBS]

Static vs. dynamic tutorials
Before I explain why I both liked and did not like Wink, I do want to mention why I wanted a static tutorial instead of a dynamic one. I realize a video or changing features can be more interactive and maybe more exciting, but for people to learn something with a defined set of steps that don't have room for interpretation or creativity (how to send a classmate a page or how to get to your student profile), versus a lot of options for experimentation (searching databases or using Dreamweaver, for example), I think a static presentation is the best. People of course learn in different styles, but following a step by step set of instructions accompanied by non-changing visuals seems to be the easiest to follow, especially if the students would be copying the activities exactly as they go. Rather than pausing and rewinding a video to see where was clicked a few times, it would be more cognitively efficient to look at a screen with things pointed at or circled and the steps taken listed.
So, my opinion of Wink. First it's only for Windows and Linux, just to mention, and it took a couple tries to get the hang of it. The instructions aren't the greatest, and I had to watch the video tutorial more than once before I had a flow going. As mentioned, I opted to create a static tutorial, so how it worked was really just me navigating and then pressing the designated screen capture button. What made Wink stand out from the default screen capture/mark up program on the computer I was using, however, was how clean the add-ons looked and how simple they were to tack onto the shots once learning how all the features worked. It was then easy to export it to HTML or PDF. But, where it got tricky was figuring out how to make the file accessible. The PDF was nowhere near as good of quality as the HTML (it looked great printed, though), so I wanted to make sure to only post the HTML. From reading the instructions that come with Wink, I was under the impression that once you export to HTML, it is a standalone file that does not need to be uploaded to a web site to work, that it could just be opened directly into a browser. How wrong I was. After searching the Wink discussion boards, I realized I did in fact need to upload the file to the server, as well as the flash file and accompanying PNG images. Then, I had to go through the HTML and make sure each page of the tutorial was appropriately linked with the designated image. This took a bit of time since some were not connected and I had to double check the order.
Other problems were that the forward/backward buttons somehow moved away from the overlaying hyperlinks, so they stopped advancing to the next page when clicked. I had to go back to Dreamweaver and slide those back over. Also, even after being positive (triple checking) everything was linked and working, one of the pages just stopped working.
I don't know if I'd use Wink again -- now that I understand it better, it might be easier, but it was not the most efficient because I think I spent more time dealing with the software and it's problems than making the actual tutorial. I'm mostly pleased with the final product and would like to post it but don't feel comfortable since student names are captured in screen shots, but if I am able to make a version with fixes for privacy, I hope to share that in the near future.

Organizing a local collective's library
Volunteers from our chapter worked together this semester to partner with Tucson's Dry River Collective[1] to organize their small lending library. The group maintains their library containing books and zines[2] themselves, which is located within their infoshop[3]. Their library had been organized as an aesthetic rainbow, forcing browsing, which served as an impetus for asking us for help in creating a simple, yet more orderly system for organizing and finding materials.
Because Dry River collective members are not librarians, and are the ones who would be working with the library, our group wanted them to do the decision-making. We served more so as consultants, offering suggestions, and based on consensus of Dry River, creating a plan for organization. What follows is a brief run down of what has been in the works for the past few months; we hope to have an opening day celebration reception as soon as all the cataloging and physical reorganization is complete, and we hope you will join us!
We researched a number of options for what could be used as a catalog: a simple relational database from an open source program, Drupal, Koha, Joomla, a spreadsheet, Goodreads, LibraryThing, and probably a few more. Considering Dry River only has a few computers, volunteers might come and go, and not everyone has extensive technological training, we therefore chose the simplest interface with the easiest access, also making it very easy for library users to wield, as well as share their input: we went with LibraryThing. Although Goodreads and LibraryThing have similar purposes, through our exploration, we realized Goodreads was better suited for an individual booklist, whereas LibraryThing would work well for a group and allows for more sophisticated cataloging.
As stated, Dry River, previously invoked an aesthetic rainbow for their classification system, which forced browsing. This system was visually based on the color of the book, going in rainbow-order. Although this method was certainly attractive, it made it very difficult to easily find specific items. Likewise, because there was no catalog, the only way to find anything was to look through every single book (or zine), and one would be very fortunate to have previous knowledge of the spine color. To meet this plan in the middle, we found consensus in a visual classification scheme based on main subject heading; in other words, a colored sticker would correspond with a specific subject, and this sticker would be placed on the spine of the book.
Again, because this is Dry River's library and Dry River collective members and friends would be using and maintaining it, we felt it was very important for them to choose their main subject headings for classification of the books. We decided against pre-existing schemes and subject headings, such as Dewey, LCC/LCSH, or similar since the majority of items in the Dry River library are of a radical nature, and these subject headings are still in the process of becoming more accepting and supportive of alternative lifestyles and beliefs. An example would be that a zine created by rape survivors for rape survivors, if using LCSH, would receive the subject heading "rape victims;" another example is that "infoshop" is not even an existing subject heading in LCSH! As Sandy Berman has been arguing for many years, LCSH can be offensive, exclusive, and just plain ignorant; our chapter participated in the Radical Reference LCSH Blogging Party last year (Spring 2008), based on Sandy Berman and Jenna Freedman's suggestions for new headings or revisions to existing ones[4]. However, I digress. Dry River chose their own headings based on their collection, their needs, and plans for the future, combined with consideration of our suggestions as PLG-UA. Within LibraryThing, items can receive numerous tags (yet authoritative ones if tagged by Dry River), but on the shelf, as is the only option for tangible items, only one, main subject heading would apply, as correlated with a color-coded sticker. This would be more of a dilemma for the zines, as zines can encompass many subject headings all in one, change subjects capriciously from issue to issue, or be so sporadic and/or ephemeral that it is difficult to have any idea what to do with them. For this, main options can be organizing alphabetically on the shelf and assigning an exorbitant number of tags in the catalog (or filling out the description section – 520 in MARC fields), or to organize by a main subject heading, trying to be as consistent as possible. At this point in time, Dry River has decided to assign main subject headings on the shelf, independent of the books, and will not be cataloging the zines in LibraryThing because their collection rotates so much, and they oft do not expect materials to return.
Which brings up circulation. Dry River had been using an openly visible sign out sheet for borrowers to write their name, contact information, the item(s) they were borrowing, and the date. Because they are a non-hierarchical collective, they wanted all volunteers to have the same access to the same information (not just library volunteers having access to what has been checked out and by whom). Considering their circulation system, individual privacy would conflict with group transparency. Having all information out in the open could not only create a potential chilling effect for library users (especially because materials are of a radical nature), but could also be a personal danger with the recent wave and always-present possibility of FBI raids of infoshops[5]. With user information out in the open, it would be even easier for federal agents to just take it or even come in unannounced and scan the list. These considerations, although Dry River collective members did not seem too worried about the potentiality, prompted us to suggest a discreet circulation system that would be easy to destroy in a moment's notice. This also would mean not including user information in the catalog. Therefore, when an item is checked out, it will receive a tag in LibraryThing noting it is checked out and the date it was borrowed, but there will be no corresponding user information anywhere on the Dry River computers. Instead, a concealed box with check out slips or a more discreet, easily destroyable checkout list will be employed for only Dry River library volunteers to monitor.
Acquisitions, Collection Development, & Preservation
Dry River receives numerous donations, finds materials for free, and has a synergistic relationship with Read Between the Bars, a local books-to-prisoners group here in Tucson. These reasons mean acquisitions and collection development are not a major hurdle for this library. In fact, Dry River recently needed to weed through their collection to pare it down to only materials that would fit with their mission and goals.
Dry River Library's mission statement:
Dry River, functioning as a radical resource center, hosts a library in order to provide an array of radical books in an attempt to educate and inspire. We believe in an anti-authoritarian, autonomous, hate-free future and we believe that education is one of the many vessels through which to get there. We are here for you to find useful information, good reads, and inspiring, dangerous ideas.
This is one of the best library mission statements I have ever seen. Since they clearly know what they are setting out to accomplish with the library in general, we suggested they construct a collection development policy to make weeding and collecting easier. They are currently working on this policy.
Although all materials in the library can be borrowed, they have low circulation, so on one hand they might want to consider preservation (especially for the zines), but at the same time, it might not be an issue. Because of this, at this point in time, preservation is not factoring in to the library plan.
Dry River Collective Members are currently cataloging materials and then will be color-coding them and adding items to the shelves. They are also working on a collection development policy. We are answering questions as they come up and have offered to assist with more cataloging if they would like our help.
From conducting a great deal of research on the topic of infoshops, radical libraries, and zines, Kristen Cure (incoming PLG-UA President) and I (outgoing PLG-UA President) put together a presentation on this project for the 4th Annual SIRLS Graduate Student Symposium, and shared our information on Saturday, March 7, 2009. We include more details about the options we had and why we chose what we did; a more extensive background on zines; why infoshops and zines are important; and why librarians and traditional libraries should be interested in them. We re-recorded our presentation and will have it synchronized in SlideShare, available to view in the near future (although, our original presentation was much better!). We also provided a handout of all of our resources and references. Please check [http://sirls.arizona.edu/PLG/media] for some or all of these items when they are posted.
If you would like more information, you can contact me (email@example.com) or Kristen (firstname.lastname@example.com), and we can also send you any of those materials mentioned directly.

Jumping right in
Last year at ALA (2008), Kelli Ham gave a great presentation: Health Information Naturally: Complementary and Alternative Medicine and the Challenge for Librarians (scroll down to the Mon. 4pm start time), which covers this topic well. She has her handout posted along with her presentation slides, offering some excellent resources for CAM reference.
While earning my Masters, I focused a number of projects on librarianship for CAM, including:
a Code of Ethics for CAM Information Professionals, an Opening Day Collection Project for Homeopathy (collection development), and not really related to CAM, but to medical librarianship and open access, I wrote a paper about the NIH Public Access Policy.
It's certainly an interesting subject (to me, at least)!

Story highlights
- Emerging field of "Connectomics" aims to uncover the complex secrets of the brain
- Human Connectome Project shedding new light on connectivity and function
- New advances could pave the way for treatments of brain disorders like autism
The complex architecture of the human brain and how its billions of nerve cells communicate has baffled the greatest minds for centuries.
But now, new technology is allowing neuroscientists to map the brain's connections in ever-greater detail.
The creation of a map, or "connectome" as it has been dubbed, is raising hopes that brain disorders like autism and schizophrenia will be better understood in the future, perhaps cured.
The Human Connectome Project (HCP), a U.S. government-funded scheme, recently began trials on healthy volunteers with a state-of-the-art diffusion-imaging scanner.
Built by German engineering company Siemens, it works by tracking the passage of water molecules through nerve fibers, giving a more accurate picture of the brain's structure and its neuronal pathways, scientists say.
"The diffusion image is a map of the water diffusion which we then convert into a marker for the fiber pathways," says Van Wedeen, director of Connectomics at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).
"We then reconstruct it through computer algorithms that explain the water diffusion that we have observed."
From the outside, the scanner looks like a conventional MRI machine but the power inside enables it to produce images more than 10 times clearer.
"It's the difference between looking at the bonnet (of a car) and looking at the gears and belts inside," Wedeen said.
The idea, he says, is to dispose the brain to a coordinates system.
"Think of the difference of making maps before longitude and latitude versus making maps after," he said.
Data from the scanner is still being refined but Wedeen and his colleague Bruce Rosen are excited about its potential.
"Over time, it's clear that in addition to scanning normal volunteers we'd be very interested in scanning patients with disease," says Rosen, director of the Martinos Center for Biological Imaging at MGH.
"The tools we are developing, as well as many other scientists around the world mapping these brain circuits, may be fundamental to how we understand and conceptualize diseases and treat them," he added.
"Once you understand that it's an abnormality of specific circuits it gives you clues in terms of the pharmacology you want use to use depending on the part of the brain."
Poorly understood diseases like autism, he says, could be the result of an abnormality of brain connections called "connectopathies."
"Hopefully, we'll be in a position to see if that's true or not. And if it is, try to understand where it came from and try to fix it," Rosen said.
Sebastian Seung, a neuroscientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology agrees.
"Researchers have conjectured that the neurons themselves are healthy but maybe they are just wired together in an abnormal way. But we've never had the technology to test that hypothesis until now," Seung said.
Seung's own work in this area is focused on exploring individual neurons (something the HCP scanner cannot do), painstakingly building up three-dimensional maps of neurons taken from the retina of dead mice.
In his new book, "Connectome: How the Brain's Wiring Makes Us Who We Are," Seung argues that our identities are stored in the connections between individual brain cells.
"I believe connectomes are the meeting ground for nature and nurture. The gene controls how the brain wires up, but experiences also modify the connections of the brain," he said.
"I'm interested in why we are unique. What is the source of our uniqueness? I believe the differences between people are going to be, in large part, down to the differences in neuro-connectomes."
But the task of mapping human neurons is enormous when compared to the mapping of say, the human genome, he says.
"The complete neural connectome of a human has a billion times more connections than a genome has letters," Seung said.
And only one organism's connectome -- the one millimeter-long worm C.elegans -- is known in its entirety, says Seung. But its 300 neurons and 7,000 connections took British researchers over a decade to complete during the 1970s and 1980s.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Appellate Court Permits EEOC's Lawsuit Alleging Sex Discrimination in Hiring in the State of Michigan to Go Forward
WASHINGTON-The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) should not have been ordered to pay $2.6 million in attorney fees and was wrongly denied permission to litigate a lawsuit alleging sex discrimination against a class of women in Michigan, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (6th Cir.) ruled in an opinion issued on Friday, November 9. The ruling overturned the district court's dismissal of the EEOC's lawsuit against Cintas Corporation, reversed significant procedural rulings, and found "no basis" for awarding Cintas attorney fees.
In 2005, the EEOC sued Cintas in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan alleging that it discriminated against women in hiring for its services sales representative position. EEOC sued under §706 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which permits the EEOC to bring a civil action in court.
During litigation, the district court ruled that since the EEOC had filed suit under §706 of Title VII and not under §707, which references suits to redress a "pattern or practice" of discrimination, EEOC could not use the so-called Teamsters proof framework, which allows the focus at the initial stages of litigation to be placed on whether discrimination was the employer's "standard operating procedure, rather than on whether the employer committed individual acts of discrimination. The Teamsters framework is named for a 1977 Supreme Court case (International Brotherhood of Teamsters v. United States).
The district court's ruling required EEOC to shift its focus to individual acts of alleged discrimination, and away from what EEOC alleged was an overall discriminatory practice that affected a class. The district court later denied EEOC's motions to expand discovery and to depose the Cintas CEO, and the court ultimately ruled it must dismiss the EEOC's entire case because of a failure to meet the procedural requirements of investigation and conciliation. Following that dismissal, the court awarded Cintas $2.6 million in attorney fees and costs as the "prevailing party" in the litigation.
The EEOC appealed the district court's rulings to the Sixth Circuit (Serrano & EEOC v. Cintas Corp., Dkt. Nos. 10-2629/11-2057). The Sixth Circuit reversed the judgments of the district court and remanded the case for further proceedings. Significantly, the appellate court held that EEOC may use the Teamsters proof framework when it files a lawsuit under §706. The appellate court also held that the EEOC had met its obligation to investigate and conciliate the charges of discrimination, and that further discovery may well be necessary to give EEOC more information as EEOC "proceed[s] with its claims toward trial."
Finally, the Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's grant of $2.6 million in attorney fees, holding that the district court abused its discretion when it awarded fees on the basis of what the court termed "egregious and unreasonable conduct" by EEOC. The Sixth Circuit held that "[t]he EEOC pursued its claim within the bounds of professional conduct and in the good-faith belief that it had done what was necessary . . . ."
The case has now been returned to the district court for further proceedings.
EEOC Appellate Attorney Jennifer Goldstein stated, "We are pleased that the court of appeals recognized that EEOC's efforts to resolve the case at the administrative stage were adequate, and that the $2.6 million fee award therefore should be reversed."
EEOC's Indianapolis Regional Attorney Laurie Young added, "The EEOC is gratified that this case will return to the district court, where we look forward to presenting our evidence of sex discrimination in hiring."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's website at www.eeoc.gov.

View the jQuery Version
2.4 Update – 4/26/2016
- Updated for WP 4.5 compatibility
2.3 Update – 7/07/2015
Added the ability to load content from an internal page via Ajax from "WP Menu -> Settings -> JackBox -> Load Actions / Compatibilities -> External Web Page Loading -> Ajax".
Added compatibility with Visual Composer. When adding a Text-based VC element, the JackBox admin will now work inside VC's WYSIWYG text editor.
Fixed Google+ share issue. Google+ button now just toggles on/off, as previous additional popup was no longer compatible.
- Fixed SSL conflicts with Google fonts, YouTube and Vimeo.
2.2 Update – 12/10/2014
Added new "Ajax Compatibility" option, which eliminates the need to use the JackBox API methods "addItem" or "removeItem" for Ajax-based sites.
- Added compatibility for ThemePunch's Essential Grid. Ess. Grid has a special "JackBox Lightbox" option in its "Global Settings" that can be chosen, and then when selected, all Essential Grid items meant to load in the Ess. Grid default lightbox will open in JackBox instead.
2.0 Update – 4/18/2014
Major update for WP 3.9: WP 3.9 upgraded TinyMCE, so older versions of JackBox are no longer compatible with WP 3.9+. This only applies to the backend, so if you aren't planning on editing any of your pages/posts that contain JackBox items any time soon, you do not have to update the plugin if you don't want to. The updated version of the plugin is compatible with the latest WP, and backwards compatible to WP 3.4.
To update the plugin, download a fresh copy from your CodeCanyon "downloads" page, then deactivate and delete the current installation, and upload/install/activate the new version. Your previous settings and JackBox items will remain intact throughout the process.
iframe scrolling now available on mobile
Dark skin added to global options
"Gallery to Connect" option added for compatibility with WP native galleries, NextGEN, and anything else you want to automatically open in the lightbox (no longer required to build JackBox items manually from the page/post editor).
"Gallery to Connect" usage
- WP Native gallery example: Add class name ".gallery" to settings option.
- NextGEN: Find the gallery's outer div ID or class name and add it to the settings option.
- Replace built-in lightbox such as FancyBox with JackBox: Disable your fancybox plugin and/or script, and add the class name ".fancybox" to the settings option.
Connect any content by adding it's hyperlink class name, or by adding the class name or ID of the content's outer container.
Example connecting multiple content (using comma as divider):
.gallery, .fancybox, .my-custom-class, #ngg-gallery-some-id-number
- Facebook now shows extended share option when clicked (option to post a comment along when "liking" an item, option only available on desktop).
JackBox for WordPress is built on a simple idea:
JackBox – A Responsive Lightbox with Real Social Sharing
- Connect your page and post content to a lightbox.
This means no shortcodes and no gallery managers to figure out. Instead, JackBox is baked into your content editor and works just like the traditional "hyperlink" button. Except instead of just adding a simple link, you create a lightbox item!
JackBox was originally built with 2 goals in mind:
- Create a lightbox that worked on mobile devices, even smartphones. JackBox is "responsive", which means it's 100% compatible with responsive websites.
- Create a lightbox where every image, video and song can be individually shared. This means when someone "likes" one of your photos, when a friend clicks on the shared link, they'll instantly be shown the exact photo that was originally shared.

Socializing While Black
You loved my karaoke performance and think I'm amazing on the dance floor. I'm pretty sure I know why.
A few months ago, in support of a friend's work project, I found myself performing karaoke for a crowd full of strangers, at the most hipster-y of hipster affairs: A video performance art show in a Brooklyn museum that doubled as a karaoke event. The early part of the night started off rather dull—several people chose moody, "deep" tracks, some obscure (to me at least), others predictable ("In the Air Tonight"). Most were bad in the way only lame karaoke can be bad—lackluster performances with minimal enthusiasm or overenthusiastic ones with cringe-inducing vocals. The hundreds of people in attendance didn't pay much attention to the singers or the videos that played behind them; the room was abuzz with a light murmur that didn't quite drown out the assault upon our ears.
But then my boyfriend and I hopped up onstage to perform. Before the song had even begun, the audience was noticeably excited to see us appear in front of them. The crowd, it should be noted, was mostly white. My boyfriend and I were the first black people up onstage that night.
We duetted on Jennifer Lopez and Ja Rule's 2001 hit, "I'm Real (Remix)." If you've never heard "I'm Real" before, here's the deal: It's a sexy, summery little ditty, and performing it requires little effort and even less vocal talent. This is J. Lo, not Whitney.
Still, the audience loved it—disproportionately so. This is not a humblebrag. We were … fine. Sure, my boyfriend and I danced around and had fun, more fun than anyone else seemed to be having up until that point. We also notably messed up the lyrics and got stuck in a rut of chorus-repeating at song's end we couldn't escape. By the standards of live performance, it was pretty tame. But we received roaring applause anyway.
As we said our goodbyes a few minutes later, a couple came up to us to tell us how much they loved our performance. We walked outside, headed to dinner a few blocks away, and ran into a different couple that had also been at the art show—and they gushed over our J.Lo-Ja Rule impressions. An hour later, while waiting for the subway, yet another pair of attendees spotted us and spoke highly of us.
The barrage of accolades caught me off guard. And I had to wonder, as Syl Johnson did in his oft-sampled blues song about black oppression in 1970: "Is it because I'm black?"
During the previous season of their eponymous sketch comedy show, comedians Key and Peele did a short standup bit about what it's like to be black at a predominantly white social event:
Jordan Peele: So one of the worst places to be a black man is at a party where there's only white people there.
Keegan-Michael Key: It's just way too much pressure to provide all of the fun.
Peele: Yes. You cannot cross the dance floor at all. If I need a drink at one of these parties, I will go around the perimeter of the party, 'cause you know if you go through this, you will have a group of white people around you talking about, "Go Jordan! Go Jordan!"
For much of my life, I remained unaware of this particular phenomenon. While many of my friends growing up were white, and I attended a PWI ("predominantly white institution") as an undergrad, I surrounded myself with my fellow musical theater nerds, so every party was stuffed with attention-seeking dancers and singers. Since venturing into the post-collegiate, regular-person world, though, I'm beginning to understand just how right Key and Peele are. Even though I'm no longer an aspiring performer, I'm still often called on to perform—whether I'm up for it, or not.
Full disclosure: While I'm certainly no Beyoncé, I did study and perform musical theater in college and have taken voice lessons, so I'd venture to guess that my singing and dancing is above that of the average karaoke-goer or wedding attendee. I also love performing, and get really into it, even if I know I might look slightly like a fool.
And compliments don't flow every time I sing karaoke or hit the dance floor. But it's happened enough times for me to think that my race has something to do with how well-received my performances can be.
I'm not alone in this: A friend of mine—who does not share my vocal training—recalls the time she and her cousin sang karaoke and decided to perform "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails. Presumably in part because black girls aren't supposed to know who NIN is, they were greeted with a "standing ovation, some 'amens' and 'you go girl!' " (Would white people ever shout "You go girl" to white friends?)
I've written before of the "persistent, if unconscious, desire to see black people perform," in the case of Cleveland hero Charles Ramsey and his hilarious black neighbor counterparts. For another recent example, take the black couple who earlier this year found themselves as the lively antidote to an otherwise weak recurring Jay Leno skit "Pumpcast News," earning raves for their seemingly impromptu karaoke performances in front of a gas pump. They were pretty entertaining, singing "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" with giddy abandon.
But the sometimes tense cultural politics of karaoke—oh yes, there are many—definitely came into play here. As one commenter at Gawker noted, the couple's song choices were apparently surprising: "The last thing you would (if we're all honest with one another here) expect this guy to sing would be an 80s North Jersey Hair Band anthem. Then she breaks out the New Wave. Tremendous." (Bear in mind, of course, that it may all have been a hoax.)
The issue of black social performance, though, goes beyond viral YouTube sensations—for when you're a black person who finds herself at a predominantly white social event, there's a good chance that you'll be expected to be the main source of entertainment. I recently "crashed" a particularly fancy wedding at an estate in Sonoma Valley. (We were in town visiting my boyfriend's brother; his band played the reception, and the bride and groom kindly allowed us to attend.) At first we were hesitant to join in with the predominantly white, older crowd as they shuffled to "Higher Ground"; after all, we didn't know anyone except the band. But it wasn't long before a grey-haired old man hustled over to us on the sidelines and implored us to join them on the dance floor. "Come on guys!" he proclaimed. "Show us how to do it!"
Oof. Clearly, he meant no harm—folks never do—but it was obvious that we, the only black people in attendance, were expected to make the night hipper for the actual wedding guests. But we were not "party motivators," and we sure as heck weren't going to put on a show for a group of people we didn't know and would never see again. Eventually we let loose a little bit more, but it was hard to shake the feeling that each person who coaxed us into dancing alongside him was eager to associate himself with the cultural cachet of the wedding's only black guests.
Being expected to dance, to inspire others to dance, or (sheesh) to teach others to dance is a frequent occurrence for me and many of my black friends. Thanks to Miley Cyrus, white girls beg us to show them how to twerk when we're out at a club. Sometimes—when they're not putting their hands in our hair—they'll be so in awe of our (not overly awe-inspiring!) dancing that they'll blatantly record us on their phones. Recently I watched a young woman belt out "Baby Got Back" at karaoke; she later drunkenly informed my boyfriend that she is "a black girl in an Irish girl's body"—as if that were some sort of compliment. A friend remembers a Halloween party where, when she arrived, the host instantly changed the music from alternative rock to 2 Chainz.
Why is this the case? The obvious, academic answers would include the long history of minstrelsy; movie musicals that carefully insert black performers for a song or two, only to have them disappear for good once the plot starts back up for the white characters; and an eagerness (by people of every ethnicity, including blacks themselves) to embrace the idea that blacks are "naturally" gifted in the realms of music, art, and dance. Or perhaps, as another friend of mine suggested to me, black people are like alcohol for white people: a way for them to appropriately lose all inhibition and let go. (And I have yet another existential question I'm now forced to ponder: Does this make me a beer, wine, or liquor? Top shelf? Well? Are my moves skillful enough to be considered craft?)
I get it—most white people rarely ever have to consider their whiteness in social settings, so they don't recognize how their well-intentioned, overly friendly actions are perceived. They may have seen one too many of those infamous dance movies where the black kid from the wrong side of the tracks teaches the white girl how to get down and solve her life problems at the same time, and hope I may do the same for them. And I recognize that unlike Syl Johnson's aforementioned ode to blackness, my situation is merely an irritant, not something that's holding me back from accomplishing my life goals.
But I will say that the phenomenon of socializing while black has held me back a bit when I'm out in certain unfamiliar predominantly white settings. (This isn't necessarily a good or bad thing. It's just a fact of code switching.) I just wish more people were aware that while you may think you're being friendly and welcoming, your behavior might come off as ignorance at best, or fetishization at worst.
So I implore you, kind folks who might find a black person (or two or three) at your next predominantly white function: Think a moment before you compliment them on their poor, out-of-tune rendition of "I'll Make Love to You," or attempt to grind all up on the group of black girls dancing beside you. Am I doing this because I genuinely think they're good, or want to make friends? Or is it because they're black?

Detroit Red Wings ready to close out pesky Nashville PredatorsNHL.com @NHLdotcom
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Nashville Predators say their difficult season has made them stronger. They now have what might be their final chance to prove that's true.
They return home for Game 6 on Sunday with the Detroit Red Wings ready to close out this opening series and move on to the Western Conference semifinals. Goalie Dan Ellis, who almost single-handedly stole Game 5 with 52 saves in a 2-1 overtime loss in Detroit, says the Predators are used to the pressure.
"We're a desperate hockey team right now. We've been desperate the entire season. We just put ourselves right back in that same situation," he said. "It's a comfortable situation for us.
"We're back home where we have the advantage of our home crowd behind us to lift us up through those tired moments. We're going to give it every push that we can."
This is a franchise that had to go 5-0-1 down the stretch just to get into the post-season for a fourth straight year during a season in which the team was sold after months of uncertainty and possible relocation.
Detroit, the top-seeded team and the President's Trophy winner, had a 2-0 lead and was less than four minutes from a 3-0 series advantage.
But the Predators bounced back, winning both games in Nashville. And if the home team wins yet again in this series, then Nashville will make history by forcing the expansion franchise's first Game 7.
Nashville forward David Legwand, whose bruised left foot kept him out of Game 5, said the pressure is to simply win.
"Our backs are against the wall again," said Legwand. "After losing the first two, we're here again, and we have to win and extend it to a Game 7."
The Detroit Red Wings know they must play better in Nashville, and they wouldn't mind closing out a physical series without having to go the distance.
"Each player understands that if the shoe was on the other foot, we wouldn't go away easily," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said before the Red Wings left Detroit for Nashville.
This has been a tight series thanks largely to Ellis' outstanding play. He led the NHL in save percentage during the regular season despite having played only one game in the league before signing with Nashville last season, and his .934 save percentage is the highest among goalies who have played at least five playoff games.
Ellis was at his best Friday night, stopping 52 shots before allowing Johan Franzen's backhander 1:48 into overtime. Nashville coach Barry Trotz said they realize they wasted a great performance that allowed them a chance to steal a win, which would have been the franchise's first playoff victory on the road in 10 games.
"They played their 'A' game," Trotz said. "We felt we had another level of game at least to play, and we got into overtime. They've thrown everything at us, and we've hung in there."
Ellis has stopped 198 shots while allowing 13 goals in this series. But the Red Wings have scored only four in the past two games. Detroit forward Tomas Holmstrom said the key is putting pucks on the net to pressure Ellis.
"Keep doing the same thing, it's going to come," he said.
The Predators might be without captain Jason Arnott for a second straight game. He missed Game 5 after becoming violently ill, and Trotz wouldn't speculate if it was related to a concussion, instead comparing it to possible food poisoning because Arnott became sick so quickly.
Nashville's fans have played a key role in providing an emotional lift to the Predators. Trotz has talked about how they are so connected they don't have to be prodded to start cheering, often yelling so loudly his coaches can barely communicate line changes.
The Predators, who had 3,500 fans watch Game 5 on their arena scoreboard, will need that support again because they are 0-3 in elimination games on their own ice. Detroit beat them in Game 6 in 2004, while San Jose needed only five games to knock them out in 2006 and 2007 with the series-clinching wins coming in Nashville.
"If everything goes well, maybe we can take this back to Detroit and get one more crack in the Joe and see if we can get it done there," Trotz said.

Like previous albums, 'The Horizon Just Laughed' started with a dream. Though, that's where things change, as they often do. It is Damien Jurado's first self-produced album, more personal and more rooted than even his 'Maraqopa' trilogy, as though after so much time on the road he's stumbled upon his home.
Over the weekend of August 21-22, 2010, not long after Damien Jurado and Richard Swift first collaborated to produce Damien's 2010 record, Saint Bartlett, the pair hunkered down with a 4-track recorder and one Coles 4038 ribbon microphone to record a collection of cover songs that run the gamut from John Denver to Chubby Checker to Kraftwerk.
The timing was perfect. On Other People's Songs Vol 1, we can see the scaffolding of what would become a creative turning point for the pair - later seen with the release of Damien Jurado's Maraqopa, the first record in his Maraqopa trilogy - less than 2 years later. The opening drum hits of "Be Not So Fearful", the falsetto vocals of "Sweetness", and the Spaghetti-Western swing of "Radioactivity" are, by now, hallmarks of the Jurado/Swift sound, but Other People's Songs Vol 1 is a transitional fossil, a marking of the pair's collaborative evolution.
Providing the ideal entry point for neophytes and an intoxicating aural high for the faithful, Damien Jurado's new opus extends the hot streak ignited by 2012's Maraqopa and its 2014 follow-up Brothers and Sisters of the Eternal Son. Cut once again with label mate and super producer Richard Swift at the latter's National Freedom recording facility in rural Oregon, Visions of Us On The Land completes the tale of an individual who has had to disappear from society in order to discover some universal truths.

Damien Jurado is every character in every Damien Jurado song. He is the gun, the purple anteater, the paper wings, the avalanche, the air show disaster, Ohio, the ghost of his best friend's wife. It is a universe unto its own, with it's own symbolism, creation myth, and liturgy. You might go as far as to call it a religion, and your religion is a character in his religion.

Damien Jurado is the sort of songwriter who straddles rock's past and future, and with each record contributes a new chapter to an ever-fruitful body of work. Before we move onto the next chapter, we look back his first album with Secretly Canadian. An instant classic when released in 2003, Where Shall You Take Me? was his fifth full-length, and is a beautiful collection of ten Raymond Carver-esque vignettes terror and bliss in Middle America. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of this fine release comes a deluxe 2xLP vinyl reissue, incorporating unreleased basement reel demos, and the Just In Time For Something ep (never before released on vinyl).
"If it were not for Jason Molina, I may not have ended up on the Secretly Canadian record label. The guy practically twisted one arm behind my back, and with the other, walked me through the front door of where I am today. I am eternally grateful for the guidance, knowledge, influence, and inspiration he so graciously shared with me. The reissue of this album is dedicated to his life and legacy." - Damien Jurado
At Richard Swift's National Freedom studios, the live-to-tape ethos allowed the songs on Damien Jurado's Maraqopa to expand and retract like a great beast's breath. Every in-the-moment bell and whistle here is hung with a natural, casual care. And from this, each song offers up its own unique gift: the enchanting children's choir that echoes each line of Jurado's lament for innocence lost on "Life Away from the Garden"; the breezy bossa nova that begins "This Time Next Year" and rises as effortless as a smoke cloud into high-noon showdown pop; "Reel to Reel"'s wobbly, Spector-symphony and its meta themes; the wonderful falsetto vocal work Jurado pulls from himself on "Museum of Flight." The Seattle Times recently called Jurado "Seattle's folk-boom godfather," a praising recognition to be sure. But also a title Jurado might not yet be ready to accept. That's a title for someone who has settled. With each visit to National Freedom, Jurado is exploring, taking risks. He's not only freeing his songs. The gate is opened wide to allow us all into his once-isolated musical universe. One gets the sense he's just now hitting his stride.
Saint Bartlett opens up with a grandiosity yet unheard on a Damien Jurado album. It strips away the many layers of paint from the house down the street where we know Jurado has occupied for the last decade. The new coat is exhilarating. It makes the whole neighborhood shine. It's a modest grandiosity; still homegrown. The mellotron swells, heavenly handclaps ring in stereo and big drums create a sky for the songs to fly in. And the words. Words spring forth from within the volcano of Jurado, full of hope. There's so much hope, in fact, that album opener "Cloudy Shoes" turns into a call-and-response with himself, as though it were a dialogue between two halves of himself.
"Caught In the Trees" marks the dawn of a new era for Damien Jurado. It may not be a huge departure from some of his past albums musically, but lyrically Jurado has taken a giant leap forward and there is no turning back. Best known for his dark yet fragile first person fictional tales, Jurado now unlocks the door and invites us into his own enigmatic world with an energy and intensity that is all-consuming.
Jurado took a full year to make this record, longer than ever before, as he ran away from and eventually found himself in his own songs. He subsequently found refuge in sharing the songs with his closest friends and bandmates, Eric Fisher and Jenna Conrad. Having walked alongside him through this most challenging journey, the songs that came out of it are as much theirs as his. Jurado, Fisher, and Conrad collaborated on the compositions - some much more rocking than Jurado fans are used to, but ever as intense - and pulled in producers Kory Kruckenberg and Casey Foubert to contribute their own unique stylings. Recording started in the summer months and the sweltering heat, and wrapped in the freezing temps of winter. (It is clear on first listen that two distinct seasons are represented through "Caught In the Trees" - an accidental metaphor perhaps?) There was laughter and there was introspection, and the result is a record that Jurado loyalists will find was worth the wait. And perhaps a reason to listen for those who have yet to give this bedraggled storyteller a chance.
On his new album "And Now That I'm In Your Shadow", Jurado once again is calling us out to meet him. With the help of now permanent members Eric Fisher and Jenna Conrad, Damien has taken on a new side to his career. No longer is Damien Jurado just another solo artist but a band. Rarely from now on will any live performance just include a man with his ideas and guitar but a continuous collaboration in lyrics and sound creating a backdrop to a world that is filled with desperation and blessings, life discovered and life that is lost.
Together they will lead you into the lyrical world of the forgotten faces that you once knew. The songs are old friends and close relatives, quarreling loves and love lost, the very thoughts that cross your mind when you are alone or among the crowd. Forever in your shadow and trapped between the lines that you write down, Damien Jurado is still here and going nowhere
To celebrate their 2005 European Tour and years of mutual admiration, Damien Jurado and Dolorean released a split 7-inch that was originally available only at shows overseas. The 'A' side features Damien Jurado's cover of Dolorean's "Traded for Fire". Side 'B' is Dolorean's version of Jurado's classic "Ghost of David" track. It is a limited release of just 600 copies.
There comes a time in every artist's career when he disconnects himself from the public. Fans, friends, critics, they'll all be left behind in the creative process; maybe for only a spell, maybe forevermore. When that break happens, it's both liberating and terrifying. With On My Way To Absence, Damien Jurado has made such a break. He hung up the phone and left it lying there on the counter, and in the process has created a quintessential Jurado piece of work; a masterpiece by one of today's most incredible voices.
Stripped of any inclination or genre-adopting (his past albums deliberately each wore a different cloak: Waters Ave S's pop, Rehearsals For Departure's folk-rock, Ghost of David's ambient-experimentalism, I Break Chairs' rock, and Where Shall You Take Me?'s americana), On My Way To Absence is the sound of Jurado and long-time collaborator Eric Fisher locked in a mental space for four months, periodically inviting friends (including Rosie Thomas, Crooked Fingers frontman Eric Bachman, and familiar faces Josh Golden, Seth Warren, David Broecker, Casey Foubert and Andy Myers) in to contribute to the piece, but ultimately just the two of them immersed in the canvas. Stripped of a hope to please, Jurado journeyed inward and veered into darker and darker territory. On My Way To Absence has ultimately become what Jurado refers to as "a tribute to jealousy". It approaches a dangerous ledge and by the album's end, with the powerful "A Jealous Heart is a Heavy Heart", the listener is left somewhat dangling in a scary place. In the past, Jurado may have been concerned with leaving listeners in such a precarious position, but the beauty of On My Way To Absence is that it does not make such calculations. It just builds & builds, raccoon-eyed & bleary. When the needle raises at the end of side two, one wonders if there'll ever be another side. This is the sort of story that is created in an artistic vacuum, the sort of insularity that artists such as Jandek and the Microphones have creating wonderful albums within. It's a dark portrait that would fit well on the plaster walls of a Fassbinder home, right next to Lou Reed's Berlin in terms of sheer emotional audacity. He finds the quick truth, the good stuff, and he sings it from his gut. Such is the magic of Damien Jurado.
It's a special thing when you're hearing new Damien Jurado songs for the first time. May you be sitting someplace comfortable for your first time with the five new songs on Just In Time For Something. It's a really beautiful little postcard from Damien's neck of the woods. Self-recorded during a long weekend using a '67 tube-powered reel-to-reel which Damien picked up especially for this EP, these new tunes sound like Alan Lomax field recordings from the mid-60's. Listening to the EP, it feels as though Damien's just in the other room, on the other side of the door, playing new songs and hitting them spot on for the first time. You can hear him catch his stride and lose himself in these beautiful songs. His voice is that of an angel. Just as Nick Drake was able to convey that complicated sense of uplifting sorrow in his songs and in his voice, Jurado has both the songwriting and the performance gift. "Motion Sickness" is vintage Jurado, with its love tale wagging slowly before you. Jurado's new full-length "On My Way to Absence" will be released in early 2005.
Damien Jurado is the sort of songwriter who straddles rock's past and future, and with each record contributes a new chapter to an ever-fruitful body of work. His latest offering Where Shall You Take Me? is his fifth full-length, and is a beautiful collection of ten Raymond Carver-esque vignettes terror and bliss in Middle America. Two decades after Springsteen's Nebraska, Jurado puts the darker, more complicated side of the heartland back on the map with his tales of young love (some requited; some not), innocent fun and bloodshed. Mostly acoustic with very sparse band arrangements — with the notable exception being the old live favorite "Texas to Ohio," which sounds like a Scarecrow-era Mellencamp hit — Jurado has the songwriting talent that turns back the hands of time and places the listener in a timeless place in which his tunes sound like they've been floating around and passed down from generation to generation, not unlike Gillian Welch, Richard Buckner or Lucinda Williams.

Mapping the fat distribution of the healthy human brain is a key step in understanding neurological diseases, in general, and the neurodegeneration that accompanies Alzheimer's disease in particular. Antonio Veloso and colleagues, from the University of the Basque Country in Leioa, Spain, find a new technique to reveal the fat distribution of three different areas of the healthy human brain. Their work is published online in Springer's journal, Analytical & Bioanalytical Chemistry.
The human central nervous system has an abundance of lipid molecules – some are structural and energetic components of cells; others play a role in neurotransmission and are known as neurolipids. Mapping these neurolipids can increase neurologists' knowledge of the precise metabolic routes that produce them and where this production takes place. Knowing the fat composition of the healthy brain and the distribution of the different lipid species can give them clues about how neurodegenerative diseases develop.
The multi-disciplinary team used a combination of MALDI-TOF imaging mass spectrometry (a technique used to visualize the spatial distribution of compounds by their molecular mass) and functional autoradiography (an image recorded on a photographic film that shows the distribution of the activity induced by a drug) to scan healthy brain tissue slices. They mapped out, in detail, the lipid distribution of 43 types of lipids in three distinct areas of the human brain: the frontal cortex, hippocampus and striatum.* What is unique about their method, is its ability to identify the lipid species as well as locate them. Indeed, localization of lipid species is lost with the use of traditional techniques.
The authors conclude: "The application of imaging mass spectrometry to the localization of lipid species in the brain will be especially helpful to elucidate the specific functions of each type of lipid. Moreover, during the last few years the modulation of the signaling by neurolipids has been found to be implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. In this context, Alzheimer's disease is especially interesting since the familial mutation of some proteins that transport lipids, as the Apolipoprotein E, is a risk factor in this disease. The imaging mass spectrometry technique is still in an early stage. It is expected that in the near future, new hardware developments will allow a precise determination of an increasing number of lipid species, aiming at producing a three-dimensional map of the lipid distribution in the brain."
* The frontal cortex, or frontal lobe, is the front part of the brain; the hippocampus is a part of the brain located above the temples, which plays a role in memory and emotion; the striatum is the striated mass of white and grey matter in the forebrain.

From a 5k race for wounded warriors to dueling Declaration readings to hotdogs and fireworks, New Bern was a busy place on July Fourth, the 237th anniversary of the United States.
From a 5k race for wounded warriors to dueling Declaration readings to hotdogs and fireworks, New Bern was a busy place on July Fourth, the 237th anniversary of the United States.
Early risers and running fans started the day with the New Bern Run For The Warriors 5k. Race director Mona Sims said that the organization raised about $30,000 for wounded veteran programs.
River Bend held its annual Fourth of July parade at 10:30 a.m. and featured a long line of classic and antique cars. The brief but popular parade was attended by about 120 residents and guests.
Tryon Palace Historic Sites and Gardens opened its grounds free to the public. In addition to strolls through carefully cultivated gardens, tourists were able to visit with a number of costumed interpreters who spoke of the year 1783 � shortly before the Peace of Paris was signed on September 3, 1783, when King George III officially granted nationhood to the United States.
A number of colonial games, including bowls and hoops, were offered to tourists, while the day culminated with the 11 a.m. reading of the Declaration of Independence.
Usually the Palace uses William Hooper, a Declaration signer from the Wilmington area, who died in Hillsborough in 1790. For its 1783 interpretation however, the Palace chose to have another sign, John Penn, greeted by North Carolina governor Alexander Martin. Following introductions at 11 a.m., Penn read the nation�s founding declaration before some 200 viewers, eliciting both cheers and boos from them. His reading was followed by a performance of the Palace�s Fife and Drum Corps.
The Poppes provided period music throughout the day.
The city of New Bern officially began its own celebration at 3 p.m. when inflatables and facing painting opened for children at Lawson�s Creek Park. A misting tent was also provided as relief against the heat while food venders sold wares.
A concert by the 2d Marine Aircraft Wing band was scheduled to run from 6:30 to 9 p.m. along with fireworks after dark.
