Michigan Tech Partners With Central Michigan University to Offer Doctorate in Physical Therapy in the UP
Michigan Technological University and Central Michigan University (CMU) are partnering to offer CMU's doctorate of physical therapy program at Michigan Tech, to help meet a critical need for additional physical therapists in the Upper Peninsula.
"This partnership between CMU and Michigan Tech provides an innovative learning environment for physical therapy," said Jason Carter, chair of Michigan Tech's kinesiology and integrative physiology program. "In 2006, Michigan Tech launched its Exercise Science degree, and we now have over 90 undergraduate students enrolled in that degree. A large percentage of those students aspire to pursue a doctorate in physical therapy, but also want to stay in the Upper Peninsula; this new degree program will help them do both."
Students will take classes at both campuses, taught in an innovative distance-learning format. Clinical education experiences will take place primarily at medical facilities in the Upper Peninsula. Enrollment for the inaugural class will begin in the summer of 2013, with classes starting in June 2014, pending accreditation review by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education.
Support from community partners includes a matching gift of $125,000 from the Upper Peninsula Health Care Network and $25,000 from four UP hospitals – War Memorial, Portage Health, Aspirus-Keweenaw and Dickinson County Healthcare System.
"Physical Therapy is an integral component of the overall healthcare delivery system," said Jim Bogan, president and CEO of Portage Health, the first local hospital to financially support the creation of the doctorate in physical therapy program. "This collaboration between educational and healthcare institutions will not only provide practical, experiential education, but will also foster the institutional networking that is vital to our ability to recruit and retain well-trained allied health professionals."
Chuck Nelson, CEO of Aspirus Keweenaw, noted: "By combining resources of leading educational and health care institutions, we are implementing a program together that independently. Aspirus is proud to be a part of this collaborative effort that advances physical therapy skill sets in the Upper Peninsula. We look forward to the development and growth of the doctoral program at Michigan Tech and CMU."
The lectures and laboratory experiences will be presented on CMU's campus by CMU faculty and transmitted live to Michigan Tech through interactive distance-learning technology. CMU faculty will be onsite at Michigan Tech to coordinate clinical programs and supervise physical therapy labs.
"This partnership is a great opportunity to combine the strengths of two universities to help meet the health care needs of the state of Michigan and the Upper Peninsula in particular," said Christopher D. Ingersol, dean of CMU's The Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow College of Health Professions. "This is a chance to partner with another outstanding university whose strengths in research complement our strong clinical programs."
"This program represents an innovative and cost-effective way for each university to extend its activities by sharing facilities, faculty, and staff talent and students," said Bruce Seely, dean of Michigan Tech's College of Sciences and Arts.
The two universities have been working on the collaborative degree over the past two years. Carter cited Herm Triezenberg, Central's chairperson of the School of Rehabilitation and Medical Sciences, as being instrumental to their progress.
Central Michigan University established its master of science in physical therapy program in 1994. It made the transition to the doctor of physical therapy degree in 2004.

For additional information from Michigan Tech, contact Jason Carter, firstname.lastname@example.com, 906-487-2994.
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

Aku Orraca-Tetteh started playing the classical piano at the age of 5. He then went on to study at the Cleveland Institute of Music, and later studied the concept of "auto-physio-psychic" music with legend Yusef Lateef at Amherst College. With his twin brother, he formed the band Dragons of Zynth that was picked up by the ubiquitous producer, Dave Sitek (yeah yeah yeahs, TVOTR, Scarlett Johannsen. He's since collaborated with the likes of Massive Attack, TV on the radio, Maximum Balloon (see Daisy Lowe's Esquire "women we love" shoot, and Saul Williams.
In 2011, Santigold invited Aku to join her band as a bass/keys/Dj (when needed) opening up for the Red hot Chilli Peppers. Solange Knowles and Saul Williams soon followed suit adding him as well.
A new album is underway in 2016 along with some films credits (played opposite Jena Malone in Richard Gere's Time out of Mind.../ Peter Tosh in Scorsese and jagger's VINYL) and songs on the soundtrack.
Becoming a Dj was an obvious choice for Aku. You can see him playing at Soho grand, Neuhouse, Never never, pioneer works or private events (Basel, movie premieres) He is a music curator who only plays off the vibe of the room and lives to see how people are affected by sound.

When an injury-causing accident or incident occurs you weren't prepared for, it's natural to feel unsure of what direction to go next. When that accident was caused by negligent, reckless, careless, or otherwise wrongful actions by an individual or corporation, the situation may seem overwhelming or even unsurmountable. You and your family may be left wondering if the U.S. legal system may be able to provide answers.
At Thomas Law Offices, our Cincinnati personal injury lawyers are here to reassure you that in cases of negligence or wrongdoings where injury occurs, legal recourse may be an option. Filing a civil lawsuit against the responsible individual or group may be able to provide the answers you're searching for as well as grant you with financial help that can aid the recovery process. Getting legal assistance may provide a struggling or grieving family with the resources and opportunities you need to move forward.
In the state of Ohio, filing a lawsuit with the help of an injury attorney may award you with compensation, often referred to as damages, that can go towards your medical expenses after an accident, lost wages, and noneconomic damages. Pain and suffering damages are considered noneconomic losses in Ohio and include physical pain, mental distress/anguish, loss of companionship, care, assistance, protection, guidance, or consortium, disfigurement, and other intangible losses.
Noneconomic losses take into consideration immediate and future pain, suffering, and expenses. They are often rewarded in a personal injury settlement to deter those responsible from repeating the same wrongful behaviors and/or acting negligently in the future. Personal injury claims are often complex since the wrongful and/or negligent acts will need to be proven, but they can grant peace of mind during dire circumstances.
Ohio Personal Injury Claims Thomas Law Offices Handles
At Thomas Law Offices, our Cincinnati law firm represents clients for a wide variety of personal injury cases that result in serious or catastrophic injuries. Here are just a few of the practice areas we represent clients in Ohio for:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Wrongful death
- Motorcycle accidents
- Nursing home abuse or neglect
- Sexual assault crimes
If your case or situation does not fit into any of the above categories, we encourage you to get in touch with our attorneys in Cincinnati regardless. We may be able to assist you or refer you to a legal practice that can. Our priority is to always assist those in need. We make effort possible to help victims and their families.
What is the Definition of "Negligence" Under Personal Injury Law?
One crucial aspect of most personal injury cases is the concept of "negligence". In areas of law, negligence is the act of neglecting or failing to follow a legal responsibility. In personal injury law, we refer to a concept called "duty of care". Duty of care references the responsibility we all have as part of a civil society to avoid causing harm to another. We undertake this responsibility every time we get behind the wheel of a car, for example, go into public with others, or open a business to customers.
- The first step of any personal injury lawsuit is to determine that the individual who caused the accident and/or injury had an established duty of care. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, how it occurred, and local and federal laws, a duty of care may not always be in place.
- The second step is to determine if and how a "breach" of that duty took place. Evidence will need to show exactly how the other party, referred to as the defendant, neglected to meet the duty of care. This failure is referred to as a "breach" of duty and often requires thorough testimony and accident recreation experts. Experts will examine how other individuals and/or groups would have acted in place of the defendant.
- Finally, it will need to be proven that that the victim, referred to as the plaintiff, suffered serious injuries because of that breach of duty. This often requires the aid of medical experts and doctors.
If all these points can be proven during a personal injury claim, it may be determined that the defendant was, in fact, negligent. If a defendant is found negligent, then it's possible that the plaintiff may receive a settlement. Many personal injury cases in Ohio don't go to trial and are settled outside of the courtroom.
Why We Choose to Practice in Cincinnati
Cincinnati, Ohio is one of the first founding U.S. cities after the American Revolution and was named the "fastest-growing economic power" in the Midwestern United States in 2016. A city rich in history, population growth, and economic growth, Cincinnati seemed the ideal choice when we were deciding where Thomas Law Offices should open its second office.
Cincinnati rests along 22 miles of riverfront along the Ohio River and remains one of the most influential trade, entertainment, sports, and architectural centers in the nation. In the late 1800s, the city was commonly referred to as the "Paris of America" due to its numerous ambitious architectural projects which remain a major focus of Cincinnati's livelihood.
When deciding on a new location, we knew we wanted a large city that thrives on forward momentum, progress, and diversity. We wanted a city to call home that was unafraid to embrace tradition and history but also wasn't afraid to march forward, illicit change when necessary, and stand up for human and civil rights. With these objectives in mind, we looked to Cincinnati.
We're proud to have an office in Cincinnati and help its residents combat personal legal matters both inside and outside of trial.
Our Cincinnati Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help You Recover
If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in an accident in Ohio that you feel could have been prevented or happened due to wrongful or negligent actions, Thomas Law Offices may be able to help. By contacting us at your earliest convenience, we may be able to pair you and your family with a personal injury lawyer in Cincinnati who will be happy to offer a free case consultation as well as answer any questions you have.

Crawley Town head coach Dermot Drummy said they got what they deserved as he labelled a 'poor' performance against Cambridge United.
The 3-1 defeat saw Reds drop to 13th in League Two, while The U's fifth win of the season lifted them out of the bottom three.
It looked very different in the opening stages when James Collins fired the hosts into an early lead, but goals from Greg Taylor and Uche Ikpeazu put The U's 2-1 ahead at half-time.
Luke Berry added a stunning free-kick early in the second half as the visitors easily closed out the game.
Drummy said: "I don't think physically we had enough to get back into the game.
"The first goal has to be cleared, but with Joe McNerney out at the moment and with Mark Connolly now going off we have young centre-halves in there.
"It's tough to be learning the game and if you give something away and they score it's a tough learning curve, but on the flip side, we need to keep clean sheets again.
"I don't think it's down to luck. Where we were playing really well earlier in the season, the back four were resolute, that has got a bit rocky now and the experience had gone out of the back four.
"We have to be able to clear a ball, that's not bad luck, that's bad play. You have to learn from that.
"I don't think we created enough chances in the second half, we had a late flurry, but our football was poor.
"We have to fight and I think today they were stronger physically and mentally. While we huffed and puffed, I don't think our quality was there.
"We have to put this game to bed as we have to recover now and we have a really tough game against Bristol Rovers."
Drummy also called on both players and fans to stick together after Reds' runs of games without a win extended to seven matches in all competitions.
He added: "The boys have to keep together, they are in the dressing room and a little bit tense. I can hear some of the fans getting a little tense.
"The bottom line is if you don't stick together it falls apart. It's a call of we are where we are with Crawley we are trying to be better and play better football.
"Sometimes it doesn't work and when that happens, you have to brace enough to look at it, restructure, but not lose sight of where you want to go."

History of Carthusia- Profumi di Capri
November 10, 2016 § Leave a comment
This magical poster has been a favorite our staff and clients for many years. Vintage European Posters collector Elizabeth Norris was lucky enough to find a roll of these orignal advertising posters in the South of France, and has had them lovingly cleaned and mounted to archival standard on to acid free paper and linen backing. There is a romance to the Isal of Capri, and as a result, people fall in love with the place. The poster is explanatory of the perfume and includes illustrations of flowers and fruiting moss suggesting that the scent has floral and woodsy notes.
While browsing in a boutique in Toluca Lake I saw a sign with the Carthusia symbol. I was surprised and asked the owner of the store. It turns out that the perfume is still in production today. She was generous enough to give me a few samples which do evoke the mysteries of the island. I wanted to know more, my search led me to a great tale about how this perfume came to be.
The myth recounts that in 1380, the Prior of the Carthusian Monastery was caught unawares by the arrival of Queen Joanna of Naples. He picked her a bouquet of the most beautiful flowers from the island. These remained in unchanged water for three days, when he went to throw them away, the prior noticed that it had acquired a mysterious fragrance unknown to him. He inquired of the friar versed in alchemy, who traced the origin of the scent to the "Garofilium Silvestre Caprese". That water became the first perfume of Capri.
History relates that in 1948 the Prior of the Monastery found the old perfume formulas and upon obtaining permission from the Pope, revealed them to a chemist from Piemonte, who created the smallest perfume laboratory in the world, calling it Carthusia after the island's Monastic order.
The symbol of the Carthusia portrays a flower siren that brings to mind the surreal and mythological landscapes of Capri's heritage. She appears to be in the midst of an evolution, blooming with myriad colorful flowers, from which Carthusia perfumes flow.
The poster was designed in 1948 by the painter and illustrator Mario Laboccetta. Laboccetta was born in Naples in 1899, but his career blossomed in Paris in the 1920's and 1930's. He gained some fame with his detailed, colorful and sometimes erotic magazine and book illustrations. He published work for Charles Baudelaire's book of poetry Les Fleurs du Mal, and the book Les Contes d'Hoffmann (Tales of Hoffmann). Laboccetta returned to his native Italy after World War II where he continued work, eventually settling in Capri, where he died in 1988.

Sunset Idea House in Berkeley
September 4, 2016 § Leave a comment
Idea Houses are like decorator show houses for engineers.
Besides beautiful finishes, they showcase state of the art technology for today's home. This years's idea house does this in spades.
Nestled in the hills of Berkeley above the historic Claremont Hotel, this year's house was designed by architect Robert Nebolom with interiors by Geremia design.
We have been lucky enough to provide artwork for The Healdsburg Sunset House in 2012, which was a very cool Bluhome. As well as for the Coastal Living House on Coronado Island in 2014. So we were delighted to hear that this year, the house is in our own backyard.
This makes sense as Sunset Magazine has moved their HQ from Menlo Park to Oakland's now thriving Jack London Square. In former editor Peggy Northrup's editorial explaining their move, she tells readers that Sunset is 'following the reader' from the burbs to the city. Sunset's offices moved from the city of San Francisco to Menlo Park in 1951, as an entire generation was fleeing cities and moving to the suburbs. In a sea change, new urbanism is here and many are choosing to return to urban hubs where culture is abundant. It is a phenomenal testament to our (then Mayor of Oakland, now 2x CA Governor) Jerry Brown that downtown Oakland has turned the corner from night-time ghost town to thriving arts and food destination.
Read more in 7 x 7 Magazine.
Our posters can be seen on the top floor of the house, flanking the elevator. The frames are our latest off white and were framed by The Studio Shop.
Get tickets to the 2016 Sunset Idea House here. The Sunset House is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10am – 5pm thru September 25, 2016.

"Side by Side Britannia" and British American Friendship
July 14, 2016 § Leave a comment
World War One, 1914-1919, was a hugely pivotal and defining aspect of the 20th Century. Not only did it, as the first example of total mechanized warfare, change the way nations operated on a geopolitical scale but it also set in motion cultural shifts that are continuously felt today. Social structures across Europe began to break down and the United States emerged from the war victorious and in a new position of power.
This victory formed an alliance between the United States and Great Britain that has persisted through World War Two and into the 21st Century. To commemorate this alliance 26 days after the official armistice the United States celebrated Britain's Day. On the 7th of December, 1918 festivities took place in cities all across the country. This holiday remembered the noble sacrifice made by British troops and honored the alliance between the two powerful Empires. British and American flags flew together proudly while dinners and outdoor concerts helped mark the occasion. Special contingents of Canadian soldiers were welcomed in towns and cities along the U.S-Canadian border as Canada was an important member of the British Empire and the United State's closest neighbor. The celebratory nature came coupled with eulogies and solemn words spoken in remembrance of the soldiers who lost their lives fighting on land and at sea.
To mark Britain's Day as a national event James Montgomery Flagg was chosen by the U.S. Government to create a poster. As one of the most famous artist and illustrators of his day, Flagg was an easy choice. His 1917 "I want YOU for the U.S. Army" poster featuring the now iconic Uncle Sam, gave a face and style to the United States' war effort. It's even said that he used himself as the model for the stern and commanding image. In his 1918 poster, Side By Side Britannia!, the choice to show Uncle Sam arm in arm with the lady Britannia epitomizes the relationship forged by war while also paving the way for a brighter future. Uncle Sam stands proud and jovial while Britannia walks by his side, stoic in her centurion's helmet and Roman toga (her image was first seen around the time of the Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43). Both figures are seen walking forwards over the crest of a hill flanked by animals that represent their nations. The white eagle could symbolize the purity and and freedom of the United States while Britannia's lion, a symbol of the British Empire dating back to the 12th century, epitomizes strength, courage, and honor.
As you can see this poster has a strip of white across the bottom with red lettering. Each copy of this poster had the white band left blank by the printing house, in this case the American Lithographic Company of New York, and the red text would be printed later to reflect the information that was unique to each location the poster was hung. In this specific case the red lettering was added in Denver, Colorado and gave the dates and locations of the city's Britain's Day celebration. This handy device helped with military recruitment and celebrations but was also implemented by travel boards all over the U.S. and Europe. It's a fascinating addition that can help establish where a poster was hung and in some cases the specific dates it was on display. Many artifacts and pieces of cultural history aren't able to open windows to the past this wide and with such clear views backwards.

Nitrolian by Leonetto Cappiello
July 9, 2016 § Leave a comment
Printed in Paris in 1929
Original Stone Lithograph
Cappiello is one of the most important poster artists of the 20th Century.He studied art in his native Italy, entering art school at the age of 13, and arrived in Paris during the Belle Epoque era, and at the height of poster design. He first worked doing caricatures of famous actresses such as Sarah Bernhardt, but soon turned his attention to the production of commercial posters. Cappiello's use of bold colors and sharp contrasts was a departure from the early masters of the medium- Jules Cheret Alphonse Mucha and Henri de Toulouse Lautrec. And foreshadowed art deco. Cappiello created his first poster in 1899 and very soon, was in constant demand. Over the course of his 40 year career, he created over 1,000 posters and enjoyed life in Paris as a successful working artist.
Nitrolian advertises fast drying paint and the design brilliantly explains the product without words –showing an elegant lady descending a staircase as a well appointed painter paves her way with red paint. Cappiello repeats the design of the poster on the paint can- a clever form of branding. This framed poster is currently on display in Healdsburg's Barn Diva gallery.

French Loterie Posters by Edgard Derouet and His Workshop
January 14, 2016 § Leave a comment
Edgard Derouet (1910 -2001)
Advertising posters are meant to catch the attention of the passerby. While bustling about on daily business, a pedestrian may absorb the message on a poster, but if distracted, may miss the message altogether. This is where images can trump words, and a familiar image can work it's magic at a glance. Graphic artists have always strived to find a vehicle which effectively commands the attention of the '(wo)man on the street'. One French artist who was very successful at this is Edgard Derouet who designed a clever campaign to promote the French Loterie which, in short order, became instantly recognizable to all.
The French Loterie has a complicated history. King Francis of France debuted the Loterie Royale in 1539, however it was not popular until the 18th century. The money raised by the lottery was used for various government projects, to rebuild churches, and government funds. Public opinions shifted, and when the populace complained about the lottery as exploitive, it was banned. The lottery came and went, enjoying periods of popularity followed by closures. One such closure came in 1836. The lottery did not exist again until it was revived by the socialist government, in need of funds, in 1933.
Edgard Derouet was chosen by the state to create and execute a campaign to promote the Loterie Nationale because of his formidable reputation as a graphic artist. This was not a small task because there had been no lottery for almost a century, and the public needed to be persuaded to participate.
As a young man, Derouet had studied with famed posterist Paul Colin, and been a friend to Monaco poster artist Geo Hamm. He founded a magazine devoted to graphic arts, which featured the work of posterists AM Cassandre, Roger De Valerio and Jaques Nathan, and so he was on the cutting edge of design – in touch with trends and versed in the (short) history of the advertising poster. Derouet won an award for best poster of the year in 1936, and his work was exhibited at the International Exposition of 1937.
What image could convey the excitement of winning the lottery? This is the question that Derouet must have entertained when confronted with this demanding task. How about a man jumping for joy? And this is what Derouet designed. The client liked the figure because of its well tied tie, it's neatness and its nationalistic look. The simplicity of the figure allowed the artist to elaborate on the settings in which he placed him.
The idea was clever, because the figure became familiar almost immediately. Like the Michelin man, the public smiled fondly on the little jumping man. Derouet had created a popular success. In 1939 the government planned an elaborate PR campaign for the Loterie, with 24 special drawings to be picked in different cities, and they tasked Derouet with communicating this placement with each poster. A couple of examples include the poster 'weekend' which depicts the jumping man as a traveler at a train station. This drawing was held at the train station Gare St. Lazare. "Parfums" was held in the South of France in the town of Grasse, which has long been associated with the perfumes they make.
WWII put an end to lottery drawings in France. After the war, Derouet became the commercial director of the print house Bedos and Cie, where he worked for 30 years. Derouet retired in 1980.
Loterie posters are light hearted and fun. Here at Vintage European Posters, we have sold them for almost two decades and seen clients hang them in groups with great effect. This past summer, Vintage European Posters Collector Elizabeth Norris found two separate stacks of lottery posters from after 1950.

Linen Backing and Poster Conservation
December 3, 2015 § Leave a comment
We are pleased to offer linen backing services for our clients here in our Berkeley Showroom. We handle hundreds of posters every year and can give estimates as to how much restoration is advised and what it costs. The turnaround is typically 6-8 weeks. We encourage you to bring your posters into the shop for examination and estimates.
What is linen backing?
It is a conservation method that has been used with posters for over a century.
Linen backing can flatten folds and creases in posters.
Today's techniques utilizes 100 percent archival materials to stabilize and preserve vintage posters
Fragile posters are mounted onto a canvas backing with an acid free paper barrier between the poster and the cotton canvas.
The paste used in backing is an acid free vegetable cellulose paste which is water reversible.
Linen backing makes it possible to be handled without risking tears or further wear to the fragile paper
Once backed, posters can be restored. Some common restorations include piece in and color. Piece in uses old paper scrap to fill in paper losses. The addition is sanded to make it the same thickness as the poster, at which time it can be colored to blend in.
Restoration of color is done using acid free water color, watercolor pens, and colored pencils. Posters can lose pigment for a variety of reasons – folds, wear, sunlight and oxidation are some of them.
Optional additional services include washing, bleaching, and micro- trimming rough margins.
When is backing and restoration appropriate?
When a poster has value, either monetary, historical, or sentimental
When a poster has been compromised in some way- torn, folded, water damaged
With advertising posters. Linen backing is the industry standard. However with rock posters and movie posters, linen backing is possible but some collectors frown on it.

WWI Shipbuilding
September 20, 2014 § Leave a comment
From 1914 to 1917, the United States, as neutral power, stood to profit from shipping goods to all European belligerents. "America's trade with the Allies was fast becoming the mainstay of the American economy" * After the US declaration of war in April of 1917, the government's mobilization of American land, labor and money produced a tremendous fleet of ships and expanded shipyards virtually overnight.
To rebuild the country's once proud merchant fleet (while the belligerents were too busy to compete) President Wilson signed the Shipping Act into law with a working capital of fifty million dollars. The Shipping Board was authorized to purchase, charter, requisition and operate a commercial fleet. The Act also established the Emergency Fleet Corporation, responsible for new construction. Steel magnate Charles M. Schwab, who designed a ship that could be mass-produced, using common items of bridge and structural steel, headed the EFC. The EFC's goal was to launch 100 ships per day. By July 4th of 1918, less than 15 months later, the EFC was able to launch 95 ships per day.
Over the course of the war, 50,000 Americans went to work in the shipyards. By the end of the war, the shipping board commanded 2,600 vessels and was almost 60 % larger than it's pre-war size. Critics argue that business interests led to a far greater expansion then what was really needed.

Remembering Downtown
Community conversation continues in "Remembering Place" series
"Remembering Downtown," the second in a series of community conversations sponsored by JMuse Café, will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 9 at the Memorial Hall Forum.
Established by James Madison University Libraries in fall 2011, JMuse Café is an informal and lively forum for students, faculty, staff and the Harrisonburg community to come together and explore topics of public interest.
"Remembering Downtown," follows the success and high turnout for the inaugural discussion in the "Remembering Place" public dialogue series. The first discussion, "Remembering Newtown," focused on the history of Harrisonburg's development, particularly that of Newtown, an area that, until the 1960's, served as the heart of the city's African-American community.Sponsored by a partnership of civic and educational groups, JMuse's "Remembering Place" is a series of discussions and events focusing on helping citizens consider how to honor Harrisonburg's past, while helping to shape its present and future.
Focus shifts to Harrisonburg Downtown
The next of these discussions, "Remembering Downtown," will continue the conversation about place and community from the first event, shifting focus to the spaces and places that once stood in Harrisonburg's downtown, in and around Court Square. Some of the places to be mentioned include the Virginia Theater, Kavanaugh Hotel, the Municipal Building and the Purcell Home on Elizabeth and Federal Streets.
|"Participants in the "Remembering Newtown" discussion had the chance to review historic photographs such as this one of the M & S Restaurant, North Main Street, from 1962 (photograph courtesy of Harrisonburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority).
Panelists will include Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance Executive Director Eddie Bumbaugh, Virginia Department of Historic Resources Public Relations and Publications Manager Randy Jones, Remembering Downtown Harrisonburg contributor Rhonda Lentz, and Harrisonburg Community Development and Planning representative Donna Rhodes.
"Creating Our Town," Oct. 30
The third discussion in the series, "Creating Our Town," will focus on the future development of Harrisonburg, and will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30, in the Memorial Hall Forum as well.
The fall events will culminate in "Poetry and Place," an evening of poetry and discussion about place, how we define it and how it defines us. Community members, students, and faculty will come together and share their work. This final event will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 13, at Rose Library.
For more information on the upcoming event, visit the JMuse Café website.
Review of "Remembering Newtown" Highlights
Held on Sept. 19 at the Lucy Simms center, "Remembering Newtown" welcomed more than 200 participants from various parts of the Harrisonburg community who came to share their experiences and thoughts on this part of the city's history.
Leading the discussion was Dr. David Ehrenpreis, director of the Institute for Visual Studies and co-planner of the series, as well as a panel of local community leaders and residents. Panelists included Harrisonburg City Council member Charlie Chenault, President of the Northeast Neighborhood Association of Harrisonburg Karen Thomas, Harrisonburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority Executive Director Michael Wong, and Harrisonburg residents Sarah Sampson and Doris Allen.
To accompany the conversation, the event also featured a series of photographs that captured various buildings and aerial views of the Newtown community. Held by the Harrisonburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority for the past 50 years, this album was taken for value assessment purposes prior to an urban renewal project that led to the leveling of the area.
After an informative talk about the history of Newtown led by Ehrenpreis and personal accounts given by each of the panelists, attendees of the event broke out into what proved to be very lively small group discussions.
For some community members, the conversation was a time to reflect on childhood memories, remembering certain buildings and landmarks that have since disappeared. For others, like Mark Lane, Ebooks Coordinator for JMU Libraries, it was an educational experience, marking a point in history that residents and developers of modern day Harrisonburg can learn from.
"The round table discussions were very lively but respectful, positive and engaging," said Lane. "All throughout the evening the JMuse structure encouraged participants to share names, share stories, share ideas and visions. JMuse is taking very seriously President Alger's charge for JMU to be an engaged university."
Video footage of "Remembering Newtown" is now available here.

US Utility Firm Shut Down by Cyber-Attack
Calls cost 7p per minute plus your standard network charge.
Please ensure you have the bill payers permission before contacting a company on our website.
This website provides hard to find phone numbers as a call connection service, and is not associated with the companies listed.
A major U.S. municipal utility company was completely shut down by a cyber attack this week, as a spate of worsening "ransomware" attacks continued unabated.
Lansing Board of Water and Light (BWL), an electricity and water utility company based in Michigan, succumbed to the attack after an employee recieved and opened an email containing a malicious attachment, which spread uncontrolled through a large number of the municipal company's systems.
According to Lansing executives, the malware moved through their internal computer system, encrypting their files as it went, and forcing BWL to shut down its accounting division, its internal email service (which links 250 people) and the telephone lines, including the customer care line used ot report outages and make inquiries. "Printers and other technology" were also hit by the virus, effectively cutting the company off from the outside workd and disrupting its internal capacity to operate.
In a statement to the press, BWL's General Manager, Dick Peffley, described the malware used in the attack as "brand-spanking new", explaining why the company's up-to-date anti-virus software failed to catch it or contain it. The utility company has since learned that this particular attack could only have been detected by a very select few antivirus systems, due to consisting of absolutely cutting-edge encrypted malware, impossible for normal antivirus software to even see, let alone quarantine.
BWL's Director of Emergency Management, Trent Atkins, added that "This was a very sophisticated virus that blew right through a number of our security systems." If you're worried that your company could have weak points in the firewall you're using, you may want to look more into pentesting and how it could benefit your cyber security.
Even potential solutions like ZoneAlarm Anti Ransomware could also play a part in protecting your PC from hackers.
Responding to this, Peffley also stated: "In my time at the board of 40 years, I've never seen anything like it. Our time keeping, phones, computers, printers, everything that it takes to do the administrative work that the BWL does right now is shut down."
BWL originally denied that the incident was the result of ransomware, but eventually conceded that the attack was the result of a malware-related ransom attempt. They have not revealed the target of the ransom, as the say the FBI and Michigan State Police Cyber Crimes Unit are still investigating, but insist that customer details were not compromised.
Other targets of ransomware attacks this week have included visitors to a toymaker's website, a large number of pirates sailing the Pirate Bay, and users of Android phones.

Is Dr. Copper already telling us that the upcoming EU summit is a bust?
The industrial metal was down sharply in mid-day trading Thursday, as investors worried about reports that the EU was split over how to strengthen the euro zone's bailout fund. The high-profile EU summit is set to begin Sunday.
As goes copper , so goes the market, MF Global's Rich Ilczysyn said. And he thinks the downward slide may just be beginning.
"Copper's got a line in the sand that all traders are looking at—it's $3," he said. "A close below $3 [Thursday]… is going to be negative for everything—NASDAQ , Dow Jones, and the S&P in my opinion."
Copper also paves the way for silver and gold , according to Ilczysyzn. So if you are trading any of these markets, he said you have to make sure to pay attention to copper.
But the Fast traders were mixed on how to play the gold trade.
Steve Cortes is short gold, and will look to sell more if it breaks $1600. He said those who think of the precious metal as an insurance policy only have to look at Thursday's market action.
"This is a day when gold is supposed to do well, and instead its getting killed, which I think tips its hand that this is no insurance policy," he said. "This is a speculative play that you want to be short."

"Last year, five percent of movies were made by women," says Karla Rodriguez of the Denver FilmCenter. Which is exactly why this second annual edition of Women + Film Voices is imperative -- to shine a light on a corner of the film-making world that is often overlooked. The lineup for the festival, which runs March 6-11 at the Denver FilmCenter, was announced last week. It includes documentaries, animation and feature films telling the stories of women all over the globe.
Each movie will have an individual host -- either someone directly involved with the project or a relevant Denver connection -- that will lead the audience in a discussion afterward.
Some films will even take it beyond the question and answer session; 2011's Hit So Hard, the story of musician Patty Shemel, shows on Friday, March 9 and will feature a group of local female drummers playing live at the FilmCenter.
While the focus on women weaves the festival together, the topics covered are diverse; the Islamic Revolution, violence against women, the triumph of female athletes and the role of women in combat are just some of the issues touched on. Present day pieces like the Iraq War veteran tale,Poster Girl
, will run alongside showings likeThe Scarlet Letter

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is recognized by the National Institute of Mental Health as a successful treatment option for severe depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Today, as many as 100,000 people in the United States receive ECT each year to treat these illnesses.
Clinical and technical improvements in ECT have resulted in more effective treatments with fewer side effects, and we've found that ECT can work faster than psychiatric medications or psychotherapy, helping when other treatments have failed, providing dramatic, life-saving results.
ECT is most commonly indicated for people with severe depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia that haven't improved with medications or other treatment modalities. Patients with these illnesses may experience sadness, despair, difficulty concentrating, loss of appetite and inability to sleep. They may also have suicidal tendencies.
The ABCs of ECT
A small intravenous (IV) catheter is inserted in the patient's arm or hand by a registered nurse or anesthesiologist. An anesthetic is given through the IV, along with a strong muscle relaxant. These general anesthetic agents allow the patient to drift gently off to sleep. A mouth guard is used to protect one's teeth and tongue. While asleep, a small, precisely calculated dose of electricity is delivered between two electrodes to induce a closely monitored seizure. The patient wakes up after approximately 10 to 15 minutes without discomfort or memory of the treatment. The patient is then carefully observed in the recovery room until discharge. Under normal circumstances, the entire procedure lasts from two to two-and-a-half hours from admission to discharge.
ECT Side Effects
It is common for patients to experience some confusion immediately after an ECT treatment. A patient may wake up and not remember where he or she is or why he or she is receiving ECT. This generally lasts from a few minutes to several hours. Often patients describe their thinking as "hazy" or "clouded." This typically goes away when the course of treatment is completed. Many patients experience temporary loss of recent or remote memories with ECT, especially with bilateral ECT. Doctors may use special techniques (such as right unilateral ECT) to minimize effects on memory. In most patients, memory disturbances usually resolve within a few days or weeks, but occasionally may continue in a mild form for a period of months or even longer. Other common side effects that may occur on the days a patient has an ECT treatment are nausea, headache, muscle aches or jaw discomfort. These side effects can be effectively treated with medications to lessen them or alleviate them completely.
How Many Treatments, How Often?
A patient usually receives an ECT treatment two to three times a week for a total of six to twelve treatments. ECT is an exceptionally effective medical treatment, helping 90 percent of patients who receive it. Most patients remain well for many months after a treatment course, however, monthly or bimonthly maintenance treatments are also an option to maintain disease remission.
How Does ECT Work?
It is still not completely understood how ECT helps treat mental illnesses. It is known, however, that many neurochemical changes occur during and after seizure activity. It is theorized that when ECT is administered on a regular basis, these neurochemical changes build upon one another and reduce the symptoms of the mental illness.
Today's ECT
Despite its unpopular past, electroconvulsive therapy is now a safe and effective treatment for severe depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. ECT can work faster than psychiatric medications or psychotherapy can, and it can help when other treatments have failed. It is also safe for elderly patients and pregnant patients. Our experienced team of psychiatrists, anesthesiologists and registered nurses has received extensive specialized training in electroconvulsive therapy in order to provide our patients with the very best care in a safe, compassionate environment.
At Rolling Hills Hospital, ECT is performed on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Referrals for ECT may be made via the ECT Fast Track process. For more information, please contact the ECT Charge Nurse at 615-628-5743.

I am new to Cisco rotuers and trying to change the ISP username and password as well as the IP settings on our cisco 881 router.
Can someone please provide the commands to do this.
Much Appreciated.
Hello Sam,
I understand that you need to change the username and passowrd for the ISP connection. :however there are certain ways we can change it , i would like to know what configuration are you using. In case if there is a dialer interface configured, we need to make change in that.
Can you please go to the CLI and follow the commands:-
1. Show run.
2. Show ip interface brief
3. SHow run interface dialer 1
Please paste the following outputs and i will let you know what is being configured and how to make change.
THnak you
Ashish Arora
You can also use the following document for more details:-
Hi Ashish,
Thank you for the reply.
I have been advised that this is a new router (out of the box) and hasnt been configured yet.
What steps do I need to do to enable SDM access on the router and configure the ISP username and password as well as IP settings using the GUI.
if this is not possible, what stops do I need to take to configure the roter using the CLI.
Many thanks.
there are lot of things needs to be checked befor providing any working cinfiguration.
Please check the following steps and provide me the output:
1. Go to router CLI mode( either telnet or console).
In case if you are not sure how to log in to the router please look at the link:-
2. Type a command:-
show run
copy the output to a notepad and attach it to the thread.
3. Explain me the topology:-
Topology means how things are connected and on which interface(LAN,WAN) etc.
I will create a running configuration and you can use the exact same thing in your network.
Hi Ashish
Thanks for the reply.
I am getting the router delivered on Monday so I need to set it up then.
All I want is to set up the router for Adsl to replace our existing connection.
No DHCP is required just the username and password from the ISP and configure a static IP address, DNS and subnet mask.
Is this possible via the SDM rather than the CLI as I am not comfortable to do it via the CLI.

Millisecond Software thanks L. Raghani for helping with this script!
This script implements the 'Centre for Research on Safe Driving' shortened Attention Network Task (CRSD-ANT) as described in:
Weaver, B.,Bédarda, M., and McAuliffe, J. (2013). Evaluation of a 10-minute Version of the Attention
Network Test. The Clinical Neuropsychologist, Vol. 27, No. 8, 1281–1299.
The original CRSD-ANT is available as a Javascript program at:
The original CRSD-ANT is programmed by:
Luke Docksteader - http://docksteaderluke.com
Kris Scott - http://krssctt.com
Participants are presented 5 arrows either directly above or below a fixation cross.
Participants have to decide whether the central arrow looks right or left.
Several cue conditions (4) (may) alert the participants that the arrows are about to come on screen and potentially where on the screen
(above or below fixation).
Differences in mean reaction times in the different cue/flanker conditions are used to calculate
the following three attentional network effects:
* Alert Effect: Effect of achieving and maintaining alertness
* Orienting Effect: Effect of orienting attention towards a specific location of information
* Conflict Effect: Effect of resolving conflict between several possible responses
in this script the effects are calculated using the same measures as in the original CRSD-ANT Javascript program

Investigation into G20 Police actions
Whilst the report had some positive things to say about the policing, there are issues that really should have been addressed a long time ago and the fact that no Senior Officers are being hauled over the coals is a sad indictment of the way in which no-one is prepared to take responsibility, though they are more than happy to take the Salary, Pension and Gongs.

Gordon Gekko: Greed Is Bad
Gordon Gekko, the embodiment of Wall Street greed, has a new role: FBI spokesman.
Michael Douglas, who won an Oscar playing Gekko in the 1987 movie "Wall Street" (and who reprised the role in the middling 2010 sequel "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps"), stars in a new FBI public service announcement in which he warns traders and brokers that insider trading is a serious crime.
FT has a story on the new PSA here, and Bloomberg's report is here.
Some television stations have agreed to broadcast the 60-second spot, FBI Special Agent David Chaves told Bloomberg. Chaves, the FBI supervisor overseeing "Perfect Hedge," a broad insider-trading investigation also involving the SEC and the Manhattan U.S. attorney's office, said he reached out to Douglas because of the symbolism of the role, according to FT.

Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said that the next general election would be held under the Election Commission (EC), not under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
"Next polls will be held under the Election Commission (EC), not under Sheikh Hasina", he told the reporters after a meeting on "Indo-Bangla Maitree Bridge-1" at Ramgarh in Khagrachhari.
Criticising the remarks of BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia over the next election, Quader, also ruling Awami League (AL) general secretary, said the BNP chief is trying to blackmail the people fearing her defeat in next polls.
Replying to a query, the minister said seeing the progress of the Padma Bridge construction, Begum Zia started expressing her resentment on this.
About the construction of the India-Bangla Maitree Bridge-1, Quader said the construction work will be start in full swing within January, reports BSS.
Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Harsh Vardhan Shringla was also present there.
"In the last approximately 10 years, there has been unprecedented progress in infrastructure development and connectivity links established between India and Bangladesh," the envoy said.
He said the proposed bridge over the Feni river is a vital link between the peoples of India and Bangladesh. There has been a longstanding demand by the community in Tripura for this connectivity with Bangladesh, he added.
"This bridge over the Feni river will promote trade and tourism and people-to-people contacts between our two countries", Shringla said.
The proposed bridge over the Feni river is being funded by the government of India under grantassistance to Bangladesh and is being constructed by the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Authority of India (NHIDCL), said an official release of the Indian HC earlier.
The bridge is expected to be completed by April 2020, it read.
The minister visited the site of the bridge at Sonaipul area of Ramgarh here.
Local lawmaker Kujendra Lal Tripura, Khagrachari ZIlla Parishad Chairman Kongjuri Chowdhury, Deputy Commissioner (DC) M Rashedul Islam, Police Super Ali Ahmed Khan, Upazila Nirbahi Officer M Al Mamun Mian and Ramgarh Municipality Mayor M Shahjahan Ripon, among others, accompanied the minster.

I finally had time to attempt configuring vSAN in my lab. I want to compare to HP StoreVirtual. I know its like comparing apples to oranges as they operate completely different:
- VMware's vSAN – Operates at the kernel level in each host
- HP's StoreVirtual – Requires VM appliances in each host
Performance wise vSAN should have the upper hand as it runs directly in the kernel but still want to compare the two and see the IOPS difference running in kernel vs in an appliance. We leverage HP's StoreVirtual (All flash 10TB) for our VDI environment which we haven't had any issues with.
Installing vSAN
Before jumping in I checked the vSAN HCL to ensure the cards I plan to purchase were supported. Click here for a detailed break down of my homelab equipment.
I went with LSI 9211-8i (3) HBA controller. After receiving the cards I flashed them with the latest IT firmware/bios (P20) and each host has two Sandisk Ultra II 240GB. With all required components lets begin configuring vSAN:
One additional requirement for vSAN to work is having at least one SSD and one HDD in each host. Since I have all SSDs we need to tag one as a HDD by running the following commands:
- Identify SSD to tag by running the following command:
esxcli storage nmp device list | grep "Local ATA Disk"
- Next we apply rule to disable SSD (no feed back = success):
excli storage nmp satp rule add -s VMW_SATP_LOCAL -d naa.5001b44c8a824825 -o disable_ssd
- Then we reclaim the device in order for rule to take effect (reboot required):
esxcli storage core claiming reclaim -d naa.5001b44c8a824825
- Confirm SSD has been tagged as a HDD:
esxcli storage core device list -d naa.5001b44c8a824825 | grep SSD
vSAN Configuration:
- Enable Virtual SAN traffic on vmkernel interface:
- Setup vSwitch or vDS. I chose to go with vSwitch and attached the HP ConnectX card to it:
- Select Cluster (Homelab) -> Manage tab -> Settings -> Virtual SAN – General -> Edit… -> Turn ON Virtual SAN -> Automatic or Manual -> OK:
- I chose Manual to show the issue I am experiencing normally I would go with Automatic.
Select Disk Management -> Select Host (ESXI01) -> Click on -> Select SSD -> Select HDD -> OK – (Repeat for all remaining hosts)
- Verified Disk Group Status and Resources:
Unhealthy Disk Groups in vSAN
During the creation of a VM or any I/O on the HBAs the disk groups suddenly become unhealthy:
Deleting the groups and recreating them restores the status of healthy.
Checking the Hardware Status page show all drives and controller are OK:
I plan to continue troubleshooting this week by performing the following:
- Disable onboard AHCI controller and test
- Remove HP ConnectX cards (show up as Storage adapters & Network adapters) reconfigure vSAN network and test
- Roll back firmware to v19 and test
- Upgrade to vSphere 6 and test
DOH!! Just noticed Sandisk Ultra II is not on the HCL supported list. Thats a bummer….but would think it should still work. Going to attempt the above and see if things workout.
After upgrading my homelab from 5.5 to 6 and tagging one SSD in each host with the capacityFlash. The unhealthy SSD disk issue is resolved. During the upgraded I also cleaned up and removed the old vibs.
Removed all Mellanox drivers before the upgrade:
esxcli software vib remove -n net-ib-cm -n net-ib-core -n net-ib-ipoib -n net-ib-mad -n net-ib-sa -n net-ib-umad -n net-mlx4-en -n net-mlx4-core -n net-mlx4-ib -n scsi-ib-srp
After upgrading to vSphere 6 removed the nmlx4 drivers:
esxcli software vib remove -n nmlx4-en -n nmlx4-core -n nmlx4-rdma
Then reinstalled the Mellanox 184.108.40.206
vSAN is working!
