Digital Lives of 2.0 People, Not Locked In But Extended Out
Reviewing the movie The Social Network and Jaron Lanier's book You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto in this month's New York Review of Books, Zadie Smith warns readers of the perils of social network sites like Facebook where "life is turned into a database." According to Smith, Facebook "locks us" into a system designed by a college nerd to resemble "a Noosphere, an Internet with one mind, a uniform environment in which it genuinely doesn't matter who you are, as long as you make 'choices' (which means, finally, purchases)." Smith writes:
"When a human being becomes a set of data on a website like Facebook, he or she is reduced. Everything shrinks. Individual character. Friendships. Language. Sensibility. In a way, it's a transcendent experience: we lose our bodies, our messy feelings, our desires, our fears. It reminds me that those of us who turn in disgust from what we consider an overinflated liberal-bourgeois sense of self should be careful what we wish for: our denuded networked selves don't look more free, they just look more owned."
Smith worries about her students and other "2.0 kids." She contrasts "1.0 people" who use social media tools to connect with others in an outward-facing way with "2.0 kids" who employ them to turn inward and towards the trivial. 2.0 people, Smith fears, are embedded in the software, avatars who don't realize that "what makes something fully real is that it is impossible to represent it to completion." She wonders: "what if 2.0 people feel their socially networked selves genuinely represent them to completion?" In Smith's view, Mark Zuckerberg tamed "the wild west of the Internet" to "fit the suburban fantasies of a suburban soul," risking the extinction of the "private person who is a mystery to the world and–which is more important — to herself."
Smith's review recalls Neil Postman's critique of television culture and Benjamin Barber's warnings about contemporary consumerism. While television helped us amuse ourselves to death and pervasive pop culture produces shoppers, not thinkers, social network sites turn youth culture into over-sharing, unthinking, eager-to-please avatars who "watch the reality-TV show Bride Wars because their friends are." Yet this can't be the whole story. Whether 41 or 21, social network participants live in the real world, integrating their online activities seamlessly into their daily lives. Far more goes on in social network sites like Facebook than sharing information to "make others like you" as Smith suggests. On Facebook and other popular social media sites, people join groups of every stripe. They work, as Miriam Cherry's terrific new article Virtual Work addresses. They build reputations in ways that can enhance offline careers. They join study groups. In many respects, social media sites provide platforms for genuine participation far more than just Government 2.0 engagement. Far from deadening the everyday citizen, social media platforms can resemble Alexis de Toqueville's town meeting, John Dewey's schools, and Cynthia Estlund's workplace. Of course, citizenship participation online is different–it is not the face-to-face interaction envisioned by Toqueville, Dewey, and Estlund. But even with the challenges brought by internet-mediated interactions, 2.0 kids are more than denuded avatars.

Sight and Smell...Examining Your Urine
Here is something unusual, after consuming either a bowl of oatmeal, cheerios, or bran flakes in the morning, my urine begins to smell like cheerios with a sweet scent!
I have to see my doctor about this.
So, let's start this discussion with a question…
How's your pee been looking lately?
It's not exactly polite conversation, but it's a question worth asking yourself from time to time. Just as the eyes are windows into the soul, urine is a window into the body.
It can reveal whether you're dehydrated, for instance, a common health issue during these sweaty summer months. Healthy urine consists of yellow waste products that are dissolved in water. Like lemonade mixed from a powder, the less water involved, the darker yellow (and more pungent) the result, so dark yellow urine tells you you're due for a glass of water.
But to a doctor, urine can provide even more information. One way for doctors to find out what's going on inside the body is to examine what flows out of it. So don't be surprised the next time a doctor asks for a urine sample for a seemingly non-urinary complaint.
In fact, be a little proud. When you hand over that little cup, you're participating in a medical tradition more than 6,000 years in the making.
Today's urinalysis can reveal a great deal about a person's heath. But even simple urine color can tell people when to seek medical attention. Urine color may change due to something as innocuous as medications or foods, or as malevolent as an infection or cancer.
Strange smells:
An inherited condition, maple syrup urine disease, so named because it causes urine to smell like sweet maple syrup, results from the body's inability to digest certain amino acids. It's usually diagnosed in infants and treated with dietary restrictions, which must be started early in life to prevent brain damage and other problems. In many states, every newborn is tested for this disease.
Sweet-smelling urine can also indicate diabetes mellitus, because excess blood sugar finds its way into the urine. And as medieval doctors knew, sugar also affects urine's taste, but that's one diagnostic test they probably preferred to do as little as possible.
But that's not all. Asparagus is infamous for the stench it lends urine, which only some people can perceive!
Pass it on: If you're concerned about the color or smell of your urine, see a doctor.

The attraction of ants to one's urine in ancient medicine was an indication of diabetes. Amazing that it has been around so long, and I would imagine it was most likely a death sentence back then as it was most likely type 1, untreated.
So much has happened since then, but our urine is a very telling part of our life cycle. We can test things at home now too, to help guide our doctors as we talk to them about our little cup of pee.

Last season's winner of The Bachelor, Vanessa Grimaldi, is known for being a relatable lady — with a normal profession, an eye for budgeted fashion, and an Instagram feed that looks a lot like your own, as the 37-year-old special-education teacher is no stranger to workout leggings, or a casual T-shirt and jeans. She's no stranger to a visible belly, either.
In her latest Instagram photo, posted on Monday night, the Canadian reality star is seen all dressed up next to fiancé Nick Viall. And although the mere fact of her having met him on TV seems to separate her from the rest of us, her caption says differently.
"Mirror selfie competition," Grimaldi writes, followed by hashtags, "#learnedfromthebest #bloated #nobetteryou."
The slim-fitting powder-blue dress looks flawless on Grimaldi's figure, but she isn't above pointing out that, yes, you can see her stomach (as teeny as it may be) — a phenomenon of "visible belly outlines" that a blogger on Instagram has previously pointed out. While there are some commenters taking the opportunity to body shame Grimaldi, and even ask if she's pregnant (seriously?), others are here to remind her that a little bloat is no big deal.
"Never feel the need to hashtag apologize for your body!" one person wrote. "Bloat or no bloat perfection!"
Yahoo Style couldn't agree more with the encouraging sentiments. But as this is the woman who has worn a $30 dress on the red carpet, the important question here is this: Where this frock from?

With two weeks to go before Angels in America opens at the NT, I have a brand new Denise Gough interview ready to release into the world. I know you want it…
Jonathan's argument is eloquently put, and most importantly, he knows what works for him. Everyone has different systems for coping with rejection, and sometimes having a job gradually dissolve from your consciousness is relatively painless. But by the results of the poll, it would seem he may be in the minority.
People like to categorize, it makes them feel safe.
Wait, not "them" – I mean 'us'. We ALL do it to help us feel safe. Categorizing in this sort of way is the first thing we do in order to find common ground when meeting new people:
Except when I'm not.
Over the years, since giving up on my salaried muggle job and leaving Belfast in 2009, I have filled the gaps between acting jobs (and plugged the gaping hole between acting earnings and London outgoings) by taking on paid employment of various kinds, with varying levels of financial compensation and, indeed, emotional toll.
You've worked with the director before and you share an anecdote that makes the producer and the casting director wet themselves.
And they laugh when you talk about the dog.
And the lines come easily, and the scene feels good.
And when the director asks you to be more front foot and faster, you are more front foot and faster. And the director nods at you and winks, like, that was what I wanted.
And they smile and nod when you get up to leave.
And the casting director squeezes your hand and whispers 'Fantastic as ever' as you leave.
So you go home buzzing a bit.
And you give up your seat to an older man on the tube and people smile at you. Nice guy.
So you ring your agent.
I'm in a coffee shop with my headphones on, trying to dull the sound of the man next to me shoveling soup, disgustingly into his gob. I'm listening to actors on a podcast about acting, talking about acting. The guest is apparently quite good at it, even though he sounds pretty downbeat about the whole affair and as I continue to listen, I cannot help but audibly say the words 'I'd kill for your life mate', which causes the disgusting man slurping soup, to stop and stare at me. We look at each other for a second, before he continues to gorge noisily.

CSU, Chico Rates Highly on College Scorecard Website
Date: 04-25-2013
Joe Wills
Public Affairs
California State University, Chico rates highly on institutional performance criteria used by the U.S. Department of Education's new College Scorecard website designed to help students choose a college or university.
In the categories evaluating cost, graduation rate, student loan default rate and level of student loan borrowing, CSU, Chico was the only CSU or University of California campus – and perhaps the only California school – to receive the best score possible.
CSU, Chico's average net price for undergraduate in-state students, $11,276, was ranked in the low category for costs; the University ranked in the highlevel for six-year graduation rates, at 59 percent; in loan default rates (5.8 percent) and federal loan borrowing ($163 a month), CSU, Chico students were in the desirable low range.
In the fifth category listed on the College Scorecard, employment for graduates, no rating data has yet been posted. In a leading survey of alumni earnings, conducted by Payscale.com, CSU, Chico ranks in the top 15 percent of all public universities for graduates' starting and mid-career salaries. The Payscale.com data is at http://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report-2013/full-list-of-schools.
The College Scorecard site, part of the Department of Education's College Affordability and Transparency Center, was launched following President Obama 's 2013 State of the Union Address and has data on every degree-granting institution in the United States. The College Scorecard is at http://collegecost.ed.gov/scorecard/index.aspx.
"The College Scorecard emphasizes the promise of the California Master Plan for Higher Education: low cost, access and quality," said CSU, Chico President Paul J. Zingg. "Its findings demonstrate that we are staying true to that promise at Chico State: our students graduate, their education has prepared them for gainful employment, and their educational costs have been moderate without deep debt accompanying their lives after leaving us."
"The Scorecard testifies to how we put student learning and degree progress at the forefront of our work," he added. "Ongoing efforts, such as strengthening a four-year degree culture and fostering a greater sense of individual and community wellness, reflect values that underscore the gratifying marks in the Scorecard."
President Zingg addresses accountability in higher education and CSU, Chico's successful performance indicators in a column this week in Inside Chico State, the campus faculty-staff newsletter, which is available at http://www.csuchico.edu/inside/2013-04-25/presidents-desk.shtml.
In addition to the College Scorecard, an extensive range of data comparing CSU, Chico with other universities is available on the College Portrait website. The site was created by the Voluntary System of Accountability (VSA) project, which has 300 participating colleges and universities including Chico and other CSU campuses. CSU, Chico's site http://www.collegeportraits.org/CA/Chico is linked from the University's home page.
Like the College Scorecard, the College Portrait website is designed to be a tool for prospective students and families as well as a source of institutional information for school counselors, policy makers and the general public.

Adrien Brody: 'Giallo' Dispute Resolved
Adrien Brody chats on his phone as he takes his car to the car wash on Thursday (January 20) in Los Angeles.
The 37-year-old actor recently settled a dispute with the producers of Giallo, a horror film he completed but hadn't been paid for. A judge ruled in Adrien's favor late last year, and the parties announced that they'd come to an agreement today and that the film will be distributed soon.
"I very much enjoyed the process of making Giallo, and I am happy that things have been resolved and that people can now enjoy seeing the film," Adrien said (via IFC).

Harriett urges students to aim for engineering success
28th June 2017
West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin met with pupils from across the county as part of an initiative to encourage more girls to take up engineering. Photo credit: Martin Humby Photography.
The MP was invited to QinetiQ in Malvern to talk to students who are considering taking up a career in science or engineering and Harriett chatted to local staff and pupils from The Chase.
The event was held as part of International Women in Engineering Day which celebrates the achievements of women who have pursued careers in engineering and technical roles.
Harriett commented: "Malvern has a tremendous history for science and innovation and we see second and third generations of scientists working in and around the town at the cutting edge of research.
"Events like this are great for telling the story to the next generation of brilliant brains and I was delighted to be invited to talk to not only pupils but also some of the rising stars in QinetiQ who already have fulfilling engineering careers right here on our doorstep in the heart of cyber valley.
"Some of the best paid starting salaries can be had in engineering roles and I hope that one or two young people were inspired by this event to choose a technical path towards a successful future."

To have a sense of our own worth, to feel that we can contribute something to the world's work, to value ourselves even when others may not appreciate us - these attitudes are essential to our satisfaction and well-being.
But how do we achieve this feeling of worth when, for instance, we feel defeated by everyday tasks, or can't measure up at the office, or when we feel unable to come up with a helpful answer for a friend in distress? Is there a way out of self-distrust and self-condemnation? Yes, there most assuredly is.
For a lasting, genuine feeling of worth we first need a better understanding of who we truly are. In I John we can find a description of our true identity: ''Beloved, now are we the sons of God.''n1 And Paul reaffirms this in his letter to the Romans: ''The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ.''n2 The sons of God, His heirs! What a legacy! Inheritors of the limitless good that derives from our creator.
n1 I John 3:2.
n2 Romans 8:16, 17.
As the expression of His wholeness and perfection, our actual nature is unquestionably worthy. Isn't it important that we value this nature, that we think lovingly of the good in ourselves, which we know comes from God - and that we do this as an essential part of each day?
Too often, though, people tend to ''knock'' themselves with such spoken or unspoken thoughts as ''How stupid of me!'' ''I've never been good at that.'' ''Why can't I ever get anything right?'' Certainly self-examination is requisite. We need to face up to our shortcomings and overcome them. But if we continually identify ourselves with stupidity, inadequacy, or carelessness, how can we expect such traits to diminish? And how can we experience the feeling of worth we long for?
So a second need is to affirm about ourselves only what we want to have manifested in our lives. This may seem a large order, but it is important to persist in this work, even if our progress is modest. The ideal of spiritual perfection is our goal, and the present fact of our real being. But it's achieved by degrees. To love the love we are expressing and the motives that inspire us to enlarge our concept of love - this helps to meet the ideal. And to appreciate the intelligence, foresight, comprehension,and ability we are now showQng helps to pave the - for contributing more. Love, intelligence, ability, are attributes of God, who is Love itself and the one perfect Mind. And because we are the offspring of God, there is really no limit to what we can express of these qualities.
A third vital element in firming up our sense of worth is to actm in accord with our higher view of ourselves. ''We must look where we would walk, and we must act as possessing all power from Him in whom we have our being,''n3 writes Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. Action impelled by prayer and by identification of ourselves as God's offspring, has the Christ-love abiding in it - the spirit of love that Christ Jesus expressed - and therefore has the strength of the Christ to fulfill and complete its purpose. The Christ purifies our motives, making them unselfish, and helps us to discern not only our own worth but the worth of each individual we come in contact with. In this way we uplift our means of doing good, and we find that suggestions of ''can't do'' or ''don't want to do'' are no longer part of our thinking.
n3 Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 264.
We'll also find the happiness and contentment that unselfish love always brings. After a lifetime of learning, Mrs. Eddy wrote, ''Happiness consists in being and in doing good; only what God gives, and what we give ourselves and others through His tenure, confers happiness: conscious worth satisfies the hungry heart, and nothing else can.''n4
n4 Message to the Mother Church for 1902, p. 17
If this is the satisfaction we are seeking, it can be attained, and the way is open. DAILY BIBLE VERSE Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothng. James 1:4

Universal Studios Update: 'U360' Globes Gone & More
We have had a very busy beginning of the week, with the more than 300 pictures of LEGOLAND Florida that we posted for your enjoyment (by the way, you can start enjoying the photo-gallery by clicking here!), but this doesn't mean that we don't have any more photo-reports to share with you. Indeed, we have a nice Universal Studios Florida update to show you, so let's get started!:
First of all, the Jimmy Neutron logo on the "How Tall Are You" sign near the entrance is now blank, waiting for a new Despicable Me logo:
See you in 2012, Minions!:
Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit was closed for maintenance:
Work continues on the front facade of the Universal Studios Store:
It previously had a big artwork representing the movie-making experience:
Work also proceeds on the future Despicable Me attraction:
New directional signs tell guests where to go:
The news is that since a few weeks ago, Universal Studios' secondary entrance has started opening at 11:00 a.m., while the park actually opens at 9:00 a.m. (you can use the main entrance in that case, of course, even though it is much more crowded:
A look at Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit:
As we said before, it was closed for refurbishment:
You can clearly see they were working back there:
The Street Breakz have relocated:
FINALLY, the Hop mini-show/meet-and-greet is gone:
It was supposed to be around only until May/June 2011; instead, it lasted until October!
Meet Doc:
Great to see him, despite the fact that the Simpsons have bought his former laboratory:
Notice something different since our last update?:
Yes, all the Universal 360 barges are gone! It is rumored that a brand-new nighttime show will debut at the end of the year ( or next summer, depending on Universal's schedule):
But, the barges are still hidden near the New York City area of the park, docked, and waiting to be either removed or (*sigh*) refurbished:
A close look at one of the Universal 360 barges:
Mel's Drive-In:
The photo-op is still missing:
The wooden pieces have not been replaced yet:
We are starting to wonder if they will just keep them like that, even though it looks very tacky:
As you may have read last week, the Hard Rock Cafe' has recently been demolished (click on the following links to see some photos and videos of the building's demolition), and is now just a pile of rubble:
Nearby, the main sign of the Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster was missing:
It is currently under refurbishment:
Mandatory Simpsons' shot:
The quite seaside village of Amity...
Disaster! had some technical problems:
Also new: The moving cylinder on the Richter's Burger Co. sign finally spins again!
Nothing major, but it's the attention to these details that makes a difference, when guests get inside a theme park:
And, that is all for now! Thank you very much for reading, and enjoy the rest of your day!
As members of Orlando Theme Park News, we work hard to provide you the latest news, rumors, and photo-updates from each and every park in the Central Florida area on a daily basis, completely free of charge. If you want to show us your gratitude for our hard work, there are multiple ways you can do so: you may donate us something by clicking on the big "DONATE" button on the sidebar, you can join our official Facebook page, or you can even just say something nice in the comments section found at the bottom of each post.

Since the string of holiday basketball tournaments is over, west Broward high school basketball coaches can concentrate on district schedules.
For the next six weeks, teams from Coral Springs to Cooper City will be vying for basketball crowns, with hopes of representing their leagues in regional play.
``This is the time we get down to business,`` said Pete Mascia, coach of the J.P. Taravella Trojans in Coral Springs.
In District 13-4A, Coconut Creek (4-0), coached by Rick Callum, has a one- game advantage over both Boyd Anderson (4-1), coached by Jim Polk, and Dillard (4-1), coached by Richard ``Butch`` Ingram, in the league race. Dillard`s Panthers, however, are 9-3 overall, while Boyd Anderson is 8-4 and the Cougars are 4-3.
Other west Broward teams involved in the District 13-4A race, which will hold its league post-season tournament Feb. 28 to March 2, include: Coral Springs, coached by Earl Wilson, (6-3 overall, 3-2 in the district); Cooper City, coached by Dave Boyett (4-6, 2-4); Nova, coached by Dave Daniels (4-4, 3-3); Taravella (4-7, 1-4) and Piper, coached by Al Walker (2-6, 1-5).
In District 15-3A, St. Thomas Aquinas, coached by John Bush, is one-half game behind undefeated (9-0, 6-0) Hallandale, coached by Greg Samuel, with a 7-4 overall record and a league mark of 5-0.
Other west Broward teams involved in the District 15-3A race, which will have its post-season tournament Feb. 28-March 2, include: Hollywood Hills, coached by Earl Washington (3-4 overall, 3-2 in the league); South Plantation, coached by John Keister (7-5, 4-1); and Western, coached by Tom Turman (3-7, 1-4).
Only two west Broward teams are involved in the District 14-3A race. Fort Lauderdale Stranahan (5-2 overall, 4-1 in the league) trails Fort Lauderdale Northeast by one-half game in the conference race. Plantation, on the other hand, has not won a game in seven attempts.

Also known as gur, gud, gol.DescriptionJaggery is a traditional unrefined non-centrifugal sugar consumed in Asia. It is a concentrated product of cane juice, wherein the molasses and crystals are not separated. It can vary in colour from golden brown to dark brown in colour. It contains up to 50% sucrose, up to 20% invert sugars, moisture content of up to 20%, and the remainder is made up of other insoluble matter such as ash, proteins and bagasse fibres. Jaggery is also sometimes made from the sap of the date palm. This is costlier and also available only locally in districts where it is made. The sago palm and coconut palm are also now tapped for producing jaggery in southern India and Sri Lanka.

For Jan & Dean, there's one last ride to take – into the Hall of Fame
By Phill Marder
Most associated with surf music, Jan Berry also had a tremendous impact on the importance of the bass vocal in doowop, and, consequently, on the bass lines used by Mike Love in the Beach Boys.
Jan & Dean actually started as a trio – Berry and Dean Torrence being joined by Arnie Ginsburg – and scored their initial hits as Jan & Arnie when Dean left for a stint in the Army reserves. The first, "Jennie Lee," written by Berry and Ginsburg about a local stripper and recorded in Jan's garage, featured Berry's bass vocal "ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba" throughout, creating a radio sensation that reached No. 8, even spurring a cover version by Billy Ward & His Dominoes, which also charted. The follow-up, "Gas Money," was a great record but failed to come close to the debut's success and when the next outing bombed, Ginsburg joined the Navy. By this time Dean had returned and he and Berry cut "Baby Talk," another effort featuring Berry's vocal bass lines. It hit No. 10. As most collectors know, early promotional copies were released as Jan & Arnie.
Subsequent releases continued the formula of Dean singing over Jan's bass vocals until the Beach Boys started the surfing craze in 1962. "Heart & Soul" peaked at No. 25 in direct competition with the veteran doowop favorites, The Cleftones, whose version reached No. 18. But in the United Kingdom, Jan & Dean's version was the hit. Their version of "Linda" reached No. 28 in 1963, just preceding the surf music explosion.
With Jan & Dean appearing in person with the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson became friendly with Berry and his group often backed the duo. Eventually, Wilson and Berry collaborated on "Surf City." The record soared to No. 1 just four months after "Linda," and almost a full year ahead of the Beach Boys' first No. 1, "I Get Around," which, naturally, pissed off Capitol Records and Brian's dad, Murry. Dean soothed the ruffled feathers somewhat, singing lead on the Boys' No. 2 single "Barbara Ann" a couple years later. That version of the Regents' 1961 hit also reached No. 3 in the U.K.
But there's a misconception held today that Berry was more-or-less a Wilson puppet. Far from the truth. As Torrence notes on the Jan & Dean website, "Brian realized that Jan was a good teacher, and he was learning a lot about studio technology from Jan. Jan had already been in recording studios for six years and, because of his high intellect, he was able to grasp the technical concepts of the quickly evolving recording equipment they were using. Jan had also experimented with the chemistry of putting a different mix of studio musicians together and he had finally settled on a very talented core of players that even included two drummers (Phill's note: Hal Blaine and Earl Palmer, two Hall of Fame drummers, played on many Jan & Dean recordings) who would play at the same time (extremely unique on rock & roll records) and a relatively unknown guitar player from Texas named Glen Campbell. This group went on to become known in the studio recording business as 'The Wrecking Crew'. Jan pointed out to Brian that, rather than wait for the Beach Boys to get off the road to record the instrumental backing tracks, that Brian could use these studio guys instead and get his records made quicker, and that he would also save some wear and tear on the Beach Boys. After all, the Beach Boys sound came from the vocals, not necessarily from the instrumental background tracks. Brian immediately saw the advantages of using studio musicians and the result was that his records from that point on were sounding a lot more sophisticated."
The success of "Surf City" changed Jan & Dean's career, turning them from stars to superstars as Berry expanded the duo's subject matter as did Brian with the Beach Boys, adding hot rod topics to the surfing stable. "Honolulu Lulu," hit No. 11, "Drag City" No. 10 and "Dead Man's Curve," No. 8. "The New Girl In School," the flip of "Dead Man's Curve" and a throwback to the duo's doowop beginnings with its "papa doo ronday ronday" bass lead, also reached the top 40 to be followed by Jan & Dean's instant classic, "The Little Old Lady (From Pasadena)," which soared to No. 3. In 1964 the string continued, the title song of the movie "Ride The Wild Surf" climbing to No. 16 and "Sidewalk Surfin'," featuring Berry's lyrics over Brian Wilson's "Catch A Wave" music, peaking at No. 25 while starting another craze.
In 1965, two more top 30 entries, "You Really Know How To Hurt A Guy" and "I Found A Girl" came in a year that saw the duo granted the ultimate honor, being named hosts of "The T.A.M.I. Show," the first filmed superstar concert, featuring Chuck Berry and Gerry & the Pacemakers opening with James Brown and the Rolling Stones closing. In between, so many major acts appeared, if a fire had broken out in the concert venue, Rock & Roll could have died.
The next year Jan & Dean, for all intents and purposes, did. "Dead Man's Curve" became reality when Jan plowed his Stingray into the back of a truck. He lived, but never fully recovered, suffering partial paralysis and brain damage. He fought back to eventually appear live with Dean in later years, but his career as a recording force was over.
Still, Jan Berry was the epitome of the rock star. One of the best looking of all rockers, he pioneered vocal styles and recording techniques and probably had much still to offer as he had already served as a producer or composer for other acts, The Angels and Rip Chords being just two.
At allmusic.com, Bruce Eder noted, "Jan & Dean's success as singles artists during this period tends to obscure the virtues of their LPs. Beginning with the 'Drag City' album, in particular — which was their first LP of all original material — their albums showed a level of care and sophistication in the production and the selection of tracks that was unusual, if not extraordinary, for most rock & roll LPs in 1963. The duo's music grew in complexity in 1964, Berry attempting ever more daring productions behind their songs — it was seldom cited by historians or critics for this virtue, but the single "Dead Man's Curve," recorded after the version that appeared on 'Drag City', involved 18 separate vocal parts. Their recordings of 'Sidewalk Surfin" and 'Ride the Wild Surf' were also exceptionally ambitious, but their complexity in the recording studio was masked by the overt, lighthearted fun of their subject matter as songs."
Eder also wrote, "…few listeners, critics, or pop culture historians appreciate just how important they were musically during the first half of the 1960s, or how long it took them to achieve the level of craftsmanship that characterized their music…"
In an interview conducted by Jan & Dean fan and historian David Beard in the July 27, 2010 "Goldmine," Dean stated his views concerning the duo's importance in the history of Rock & Roll and the lack of recognition coming from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame:
"Why Jan's not in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, I will never understand. He had more hits than two-thirds of the people that are already in there. On top of that, if you start weeding it down to how many of those people produced, performed, and arranged their own records (not even The Beatles did that), then you're down to about 8 percent. How many produced, performed, arranged, sang and wrote while they were getting a college degree? Duh! I don't think anybody was doing all that, but Jan was! I'd say that's pretty amazing! To this day I've heard people wonder out loud why we're not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We have the scoreboard if you want to just compare number of hits and musical projects done. We beat 75 percent of the people that are in there. So what else is it? I've got to think it was that we were pretty irreverent when it came to the music industry. They kind of always held that against us. That's OK with me."
And on the Jan & Dean website, Dean wrote, "We were the No. 6 selling singles artists of 1964, just behind Elvis (#5), the Beach Boys (#4), The Four Seasons (#3), the Dave Clark Five (#2) and the Beatles (#1). Pretty cool company to be hangin' with on the Billboard national charts, wouldn't you say?"
And all, it should be noted, are members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
True, Jan & Dean's career was abbreviated suddenly, but, unlike several other early rockers whose careers were cut short by tragedy, Berry, along with his partner, accomplished enough before his accident to merit Hall of Fame induction. When Barry Mann sang "Who Put the Bomp (in the bomp bomp bomp)," he well could have been singing about Jan Berry.

AFP: headquarters of the U.N. Stabilization Mission in Haiti has been destroyed, numerous people underneath the rubble, both dead, injured
Earthquake Summary
Tectonic Summary
The January 12, 2010, Haiti earthquake occurred in the boundary region separating the Caribbean plate and the North America plate. This plate boundary is dominated by left-lateral strike slip motion and compression, and accommodates about 20 mm/y slip, with the Caribbean plate moving eastward with respect to the North America plate. Haiti occupies the western part of the island of Hispaniola, one of the Greater Antilles islands, situated between Puerto Rico and Cuba.
At the longitude of the January 12 earthquake, motion between the Caribbean and North American plates is partitioned between two major east-west trending, strike-slip fault systems -- the Septentrional fault system in northern Haiti and the Enriquillo-Plaintain Garden fault system in southern Haiti.
The location and focal mechanism of the earthquake are consistent with the event having occurred as left-lateral strike slip faulting on the Enriquillo-Plaintain Garden fault system. This fault system accommodates about 7 mm/y, nearly half the overall motion between the Caribbean plate and North America plate. The Enriquillo-Plaintain Garden fault system has not produced a major earthquake in recent decades. The EPGFZ is the likely source of historical large earthquakes in 1860, 1770, 1761, 1751, 1684, 1673, and 1618, though none of these has been confirmed in the field as associated with this fault.

This Food Truck Doesn't Sell Meals [VIDEO]
Food trucks have become increasingly popular all over the country. Well,a Minnesota food truck is filling local hearts with joy without striking up a single burner. That's because Finnegans Reverse Food Truck doesn't actually serve meals. But it will gladly accept them. The giant green mobile is a charity drive on wheels, collecting non-perishables and monetary donations for those in need. Launched by Finnegans beer in partnership with a food bank, the Reverse Food Truck has already resulted in close to 5,700 pounds of produce being delivered to hungry individuals.
How cool is that? I think we should start one in our community!

Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish) is a young unhappily married New Yorker who seeks refuge in her obsession with what she thinks of as the ultimate romantic love story, King Edward VIII's (James D'Arcy) abdication of the British throne for the love of divorcee Wallis Simpson (Andrea Riseborough).
When Wally discovers that there is going to be an auction of the royal couple's estate at Sotheby's, she takes the opportunity to try to understand the nature of the great love affair through the artifacts that once belonged to them. While at Sotheby's, Wally meets Evgeni (Oscar Isaac), a Sotheby employee with a mysterious past. As she immerses herself deeper into the love story of Wallis and Edward, while spending more time away from her marriage, she finds herself falling in love with Evgeni.

Captain of capsized Costa Concordia climbs back on board amid shouts of 'drown yourself!'
THE disgraced captain of the Costa Concordia went back on board for the first time yesterday and was told: "Drown yourself."
Francesco Schettino – dubbed Captain Calamity and Captain Coward – visited the wreck with his lawyer, prosecutors and a judge.
He is accused of multiple manslaughter, abandoning the luxury ship while passengers and crew were still on board, and causing a catastrophe in January 2012.
Schettino, 53, claimed on Italian TV before his visit: "I am returning to honour those who died that night."
"I am returning to honour those who died that night"Francesco Schettino
But angry onlookers could be heard shouting "Drown yourself" and other abuse.
Schettino is accused of deliberately altering the course of the Concordia to impress friends on the Italian island of Giglio with a sail-by salute.
The liner had just started a seven-day Mediterranean cruise. But the alleged showmanship turned to tragedy when it struck rocks, resulting in 32 deaths.
The defence team wanted to inspect generators in the engine room claiming they were faulty.

Italvina on 01/06/2014
I stayed at this hotel in late November (either on the third or fifth floor, I am forgetting now) and sustained over twenty bites over the course of two nights. After the bites, I switched to another room for two more nights, only because the hotels in the area were all booked up. The hotel comped me for two nights, but the experience overall was horrible and stressful. It is January and I am still concerned that the bugs may have come with me. Not to mention the fact that it took a full month
for the bites to heal!

A slender Steve jobs came out of medical leave to deliver the keynote address at the 2011 Developers Conference hosted by Apple.
Looking more like the South Park rendition of the man behind Apple, Steve was notably tired and unhealthy looking (much like the Canucks last night) as he delivered all the details on the new iCloud service:
– Works with iPhones, iPads, iPods, iMacs, and iBooks
– Synchronizes contacts, calendars, and files among devices
– Basic service is free (replacing the $99/yr MobileMe)
While the offerings are similar to free services from Google, Amazon, Dropbox, etc.., they are some firsts for Apple and will assist Apple users who have legacy audio on CDs.
For a fee of $25 (US) each year, Apple will scan the hard disk of a customer to seek out all non-iTunes music on the assumption they were converted from a CD the user owns. Music that is not already on iTunes will be uploaded to iCloud. If the music is already on iCloud then the song will be added to the user's iCloud locker without the need to re-purchase music.
Apple mentioned that they are in talks with major recording companies to make this possible, which is a far cry from having those companies on board with such a consumer-friendly design.
Also announced was the Lion OS update for Macintosh. Consumers next month will be able to purchase Lion for $32 and can expect enhanced touch control features, like task switching with gestures, to be included.
iOS5 was also mentioned, as it will come with a new showcase for content that used to be the domain of printed materials, such as newspapers and magazines. Consumers are supposed to think of this as a digital newsstand, however there was no mention of how this presentation would make the content more accessible or interesting. Tweeting from photo apps and more social media connectivity with Facebook seems to be one of the biggest highlights, but we can expect more details closer to the release date.
PS: Don't forget, tomorrow is IPv6 day, don't miss your chance to be part of the test.

It was a month that went by in a bit of a bad weather and allergy fog, but there were a lot of good nuggets to share. I shared how different levels of accountability are helping me change habits,
There were a lot of posts on how to work smarter, something I am constantly striving towards. I realized I was suffering from "too much to do syndrome", I looked into Google Reader alternatives and chose Feedly and FlipBook as my top two. I also uploaded and explained my project planning free printable at the encouragement of a local librarian. I also got totally psyched about my new Vizify trading cards!
I shared how I am SO over complaining. Aren't you? I also encouraged ALL of us to stop being cowards. There was a moment where I focused on how much goodness there is in the world and was totally encouraged to see the world fresh.
I included the free printable Mediation Door Hanger to help you have your own private space, even if just for a few minutes.
And on the last day we celebrated Spring, Easter, Passover and Sunday and celebrated that everyone can do that however they choose. Looking forward to April, the month of Direct Focus in my One Little Word year - a month focused on targeting what I really want.
Want more? You can get this kind of goodness right in your mail box, plus special offers, tips & other goodies. Add your email below!

When caught in a concrete jungle with no escape to green spaces, just try building a city haven like the 'Hedonistic Rooftop Penthouses' by JDS Architects.
Located in the highly populated Elmegade district of Copenhagen, this rooftop getaway is the place to go and disappear. The region barely houses any parks or any greenery for that matter, but JDS Architects brilliantly structured a modern park space above ground.
It comes with a 360 view of the city and with an additional elevated aerial viewing spot, one can get a little closer to the sky. JDS Architects came up with the thought of incorporating a green terrace during its designing process of three penthouses. It comes with a playground, a deck, barbecue and outdoor kitchen area including a large patch of real grass and soil.Photo Credits: designboom, jdsa.eu

Some people is going around with no socks during Summer. Of course mine is a "self-sponsoring" suggestion, but I can tell it is not so healty, special if you don't know where your shoes are coming from and how they were produced and treated.
At least you can wear the "ghost" socks, kind of ped you can wear inside the shoe and not visible.
Those will protect you and let your skin breath.
Not to be mentioned that for elegance issues, of course, always better to wear socks, unless you are sailing or walking on the beach.

Police do not need to give Miranda warnings on two consecutive days when questioning a suspect, an Ohio appeals court recently ruled in the case of an Akron man convicted of 30 felony charges for a series of break-ins and thefts he committed in Brimfield in 2009.
Miranda warnings, which inform a criminal suspect of his or her rights to remain silent and be represented by an attorney, were not required to be read again to a suspect being questioned by Brimfield police on a second consecutive day in June 2009, according to a three-judge panel of Ohio's 11th District Court of Appeals.
Rather, the Miranda warnings given on the first day do not become "stale" when questioning or an interview by officers carries over into a second day, and retain their efficacy and effect, judges ruled.
The decision arose from an appeal filed by a convicted felon, Timothy J. Anders, who was interviewed by Brimfield Police Chief David Oliver on June 11 and June 12, 2009. Anders was a suspect in more than 200 break-ins and thefts that took place in Brimfield between January and June 2009, during which tools, sports equipment, electronics, medication, gift cards and other items were stolen from township residents.
Anders was identified as a suspect after he used a gift card stolen from a Brimfield woman at a Streetsboro business. Officers went to his Akron home and he agreed to talk to them, pointing out over the next two days locations in Brimfield where he committed break-ins and thefts, according to the appeals court. He was not yet under arrest and was free to halt questioning or leave at any time, judges ruled.
At the Brimfield police station on June 12, Anders signed a Miranda rights waiver form for June 11, but declined to sign one based on the events of June 12, telling Oliver "'You didn't read me my rights today and anything I told you isn't going to be admissible in court,'" according to the appeals court.
Anders was arrested, indicted and eventually pleaded guilty to 30 counts of breaking and entering and theft, all fifth-degree felonies. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison by Portage County Common Pleas Judge Laurie Pittman in April 2010, and ordered to pay approximately $13,777 in restitution to 14 victims of his spree.
Anders appealed his conviction in September 2011, claiming Pittman erred by failing to suppress his statements to police and abused her discretion in sentencing him to consecutive six-month prison terms on all 30 felony charges. He also claimed his trial attorney was ineffective.
Appellate judges disagreed, ruling Anders was "not under any particular emotional stress during the interviews, and was aware of his rights and the potential implications of (Oliver's) failure to advise him thereof," Judge Diane Grendell wrote. "When Mirandized on June 11, Anders acknowledged his familiarity with his rights as a result of his considerable criminal record. Anders' cooperation with police was voluntary and his interactions with police were relaxed, e.g. he was not restrained or formally arrested, and enjoyed several meals at the officers' expense."
Oliver even drove to Anders to a previously scheduled court appearance in Stark County on June 12 to ensure he didn't go on the run from police, according to the appeals court.
Anders' sentence "was proper in light of his criminal record and the cumulative magnitude of his crimes" and he was effectively represented by his attorney, judges ruled.
At his sentencing, Anders said he became a thief because he found it difficult to find a job, had neurological problems and a sister and nephew with medical problems, according to the appeals court. He also specifically broke into unoccupied homes or cars in order to avoid confrontations with their owners, caused no property damage, cooperated with the police and "showed genuine remorse," according to the appeals court.
Oliver said Friday he was glad judges upheld his department's handling of the case, which he said was massive and complicated, involving hundreds of victims.
"I have faith in our appeals system," he said.
Anders, now 45, is scheduled to be released from prison in May 2024, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections.

Optional No-Fault
The possible advantages of adopting a system that would allow each motorist the choice between no-fault and the tort system has begun to receive attention in a number of states. [74] Under an optional no-fault system, motorists who chose no-fault would be largely or completely exempt from tort liability for bodily injury and thus the need to purchase bodily injury liability coverage. In exchange for this exemption, they would not be allowed to pursue a tort claim. Persons who chose to remain subject to the tort system would maintain the ability to sue other drivers who have opted for the tort system, and they could be sued by such drivers. They also would be able to purchase first-party coverage, similar to uninsured motorists coverage, that would provide payment if they were injured by a driver who had chosen no-fault. Variations in the amount of no-fault personal injury protection coverage that is required and in the magnitude of the tort exemption for persons who choose no-fault are possible under this approach. [75]
There exist two possible advantages of optional no-fault compared to mandatory no-fault. First, optional no-fault is less coercive than mandatory no-fault, and it is consistent with the principle of consumer sovereignty. Second, in the event that strict, mandatory limitations on tort liability are politically infeasible, the possibility exists that optional no-fault may be able to attract enough support from the public to be enacted despite opposition from trial attorneys and other parties who oppose tort limitations.

Intel K Spec Core i7 875 and Core i5 655 Review
The first part of our testing will be the system specific benchmarks.
Let's get started with Apophysis. This program is used primarily to render and generate fractal flame images. We will run this benchmark with the following settings:
- Resolution: 2750x2048
- Quality: 500
- Limit Memory use: 512MB
The measurement used is time to render, in minutes, to complete.
Lower is Better
WinRAR is a tool to archive and compress large files to a manageable size. We will use 100MB and 500MB files to test the time needed to compress these files. Time will be measured in seconds. Additionally, I will use the built in benchmark as a comparison.
Lower is Better
Lower is Better
Bibble 5:
The K-spec processors closely follow the results of the i7 870 and i5 661 in most of the testing. The overclocked speeds contributed to better scores than the standard chips.

What made it as the focus for this week's sports media column:
Beto Duran's career at KSPN-AM (710) has been the residue of taking advantage of opportunities that have presented themselves, and never stop trying to outwork the competition. He's also in the annual Top 10/Bottom 5 list of sports radio hosts/reporters … could he also make it into the TV category as well for his work lately on TWC SportsNet on the Lakers coverage?
What didn't make it:
== A link to the Monday conversation Duran and Steve Mason had with the caller, from the KSPN-AM (710) website.
== Because apparently the 2013 MLS schedule just reached the desk of those at Time Warner Cable SportsNet, the network didn't announce until Wednesday that it was carrying the Galaxy's opener on Sunday from Home Depot Center. Until then, even the team posted just Spanish-language Univision as the sole media outlet for the 2 p.m. contest. In the excitement of the announcement, the TWC SportsNet press release also forgot to mention the Galaxy would be facing the Chicago Fire in this contest. It also later said the broadcast team would consist of John Shrader on play-by-play, former Galaxy player Cobi Jones as the analyst and Kelli Tennant on the sidelines. Shrader, who has done high school and college football games for Time Warner Cable SportsNet and SoCal 101, spent 12 seasons on the MLS San Jose Earthquakes games on FSN Bay Area and CSN California.
"Access SportsNet: Galaxy" will be led by studio anchors Chris McGee and Andy Adler and analyst Clint Mathis.
ESPN2 long ago announced it would carry the Portland-New York Red Bull game Sunday at 4:30 p.m. as its MLS opener.
== The Clippers' ABC appearance Sunday against Oklahoma City (12:30 p.m., Channel 7) brings Mike Tirico, Hubie Brown and Chris Broussard for the telecast.
== CBS gets into March Madness mode by using some Turner broadcasters on their games this weekend. Ian Eagle and Clark Kellogg call Louisville-Syracuse (Saturday, 9 a.m. Channel 2); Kevin Harlan and Jim Spanarkel have West Virginia-Kansas (Saturday, 11 a.m., Channel 2) while Brian Anderson and Dan Bonner do Kentucky-Arkansas (Saturday, 1 p.m., Channel 2). Going to Sunday, it's Marv Albert and Steve Kerr on Florida State-North Carolina (11 a.m., Channel 2) with Verne Lundquist and Bill Raftery on Michigan State at Michigan (1 p.m., Channel 2).
== Among the TWC SportsNet coverage of CIF high school basketball title games:
Today: Westchester vs. Granada Hills girls Division II L.A. City Section, 6 p.m.; Kennedy vs. Gardena boys Division II L.A. City Section, 8 p.m.
Saturday: El Camino Real vs. Westchester boys Division I L.A. City Section, 8 p.m.
== The Angels' Jose Mota is part of the MLB Network coverage of the 2013 World Baseball Classic, starting with games in Japan and Chinese Taipei this weekend. Mota is paired with Gary Thorne to call games in Pool C in the Dominican Republic (with Puerto Rico, Spain and Venezuela) from March 7-10. The 39-game tournament actually starts tonight at 8:30 p.m. when JB Long and Joe Magrane do Pool B games from Chinese Taipei (with Australia, Korea and the Netherlands). Rick Waltz and Buck Martinez are in Japan for Pool A (joined by China, Cuba and Brazil) starting Saturday. Simultaneous with Pool C is the U.S.-led Pool D (with Mexico, Italy and Canada) where Matt Yallof and Jeff Nelson do games from Salt River Fields in Phoenix and Matt Vasgersian, Jim Kaat and Sam Rosen are at Chase Field in Phoenix.
Waltz and Martinez are together for second-round games in Tokyo (March 7-12), while Vasgersian will be joined at various times by by John Smoltz, Tom Verducci and Harold Reynolds for games in Miami from March 12-16.
In the championship round from AT&T Park in San Francisco, Vasgersian, Kaat and Verducci do the semifinals, while Bob Costas, Kaat and Verducci have the title game on March 19. Those with DirecTV and Time Warner Cable are among the subscribers who get the MLB Network can also watch the games at WorldBaseballClassic.com/Watch.
== Ring announcer Michael Buffer is the focus of the first episode of an HBO series "Cornered," focusing on those involved in boxing. Check it out Tuesday at 10:15 p.m.
== Larry Merchant apparently hasn't called his last boxing match for HBO. The network says he'll be joined by Tim Ryan and George Foreman on the call of the pro debut of two-time Olympic gold medalist Zou Shiming on China on Saturday, April 6 at 2 p.m. on HBO2, as it comes on a same-day coverage from Macau in China. The flyweight training at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood will make his debut against Mexico's Eleazar Valenzuela.
== And if you haven't seen the Steve Hartman piece for CBS News about what happened in El Paso, Tex.:

EUROREZ to Enhance Buzz Booking Features
EUROREZ has signed a partnership with Buzz
, the low cost airline to allow passengers to book tickets to events in the destinations to which it travels.
Each event includes a description of around 200 words, photos, seating plans and detailed information of how to get there. Moreover the passenger can select the date, the ticket category of his choice, and book immediately on line by submitting his credit card details and printing a voucher once his credit card is authorised. The voucher is exchanged at the box office for tickets.
Information on events, and the booking facility comes in English, French, German, Spanish and of course English - a godsend to multi-lingual sites such as airlines or travel portals.
"We create extra revenue for our partners as well as providing lots of attractive content for free and a really useful and unique service for their customers" says Fiona Lazareff, chief executive who is based in Paris.
Events, especially if they can be booked in advance, motivate travel. Eurorez sells everything from opera in Prague to pop concerts in Amsterdam, but it also sells the more mundane kind of stuff - tickets which enable time-conscious tourists to jump the queue to popular exhibitions, boat trips, airport transfers, even visas to Russia. The hottest selling items last week were tickets to the Rolling Stones in Amsterdam and to the opera in Prague.
The technology behind the website is so good that no full-time webmaster is necessary: journalists throughout Europe can type in their information from wherever they happen to be, in the language of their choice, as long as they have internet access (and a secret password), and the home page can be modified at the touch of a button; customized to the preferences of tourists from each country with a featured language. Finally event managers can add or withdraw seats/places to or from the system; providing they have their unique login in and password.
