Message from Osel Hita June 5, 2012
Occasionally Osel Hita shares his thoughts and experiences on his Facebook page. In this update, he discusses the evolution of our specials and updates us on the condition of his mother, Maria.
Hello, Everybody! Long time no talk! So here we are! It has been a great full moon, and the energies are so strong! We can all feel how change is moving faster. We are evolving at incredible speed as a species in this last century, and now in this decade, even faster. Technology has surpassed expectations since the industrial revolution.
And where are we as individuals? Is this a turning point in history?
I'm just glad to be alive, even though I don't fully understand the big picture. Just being here and having the capacity to decide over my actions, is enough to learn and improve.
Whatever is going to happen, will happen.
So let us learn to be better people while we are at it, and if the world has to implode, at least we tried!
My mother, Maria, is already walking and enjoying her new life after 24 years with a kidney tumor. When they took it out, it weighed around 1 kilo (750 grams). It is crazy! The tumor had veins the size of a thumb!
Now she is so much better, it is quite a difference. She is already gaining weight, has a lot of energy, and is much happier than before. We are all so glad she finally decided to go through with the operation.
And she definitely felt the energies coming from all over the world. It went very smoothly, thank you all so very much!
Well take care family, and talk soon!

Haskell Wexler on the Criterion Collection release of 'Medium Cool'
Haskell Wexler had already won the first of two cinematography Oscars (1966's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and '76's Bound for Glory) when he decided to return to the place of his birth, Chicago, and direct his first fiction feature, Medium Cool (1969). Written by Wexler, then 46, the counterculture classic remains a vibrant hybrid: characters (many of them non-actors) are put in the midst of real events, most famously the chaos of the '68 Democratic National Convention riots in Grant Park. Wexler himself was tear-gassed during filming.
Against that backdrop of social and political unrest, a hard-bitten television news cameraman pursues an Uptown Appalachian woman and awakens to a number of insights about the media, namely that the electronic eye dehumanizes its subjects, keeping TV producers and viewers at a dispassionate arm's length from the impact of the events captured. Speaking directly into Wexler's lens, an African-American activist schools the movie's cameraman, John Cassellis (Robert Forster)—and, in turn, the audience: "When you come in here and you say you've come to do something of human interest, it makes one wonder whether you're going to do something of interest to other humans or whether you consider the person human in whom you're interested."
Yesterday, the Criterion Collection released a restored 4K digital transfer of Medium Cool, along with extras including a commentary track from Wexler, excerpts from the documentary "Look Out, Haskell, It's Real!" by historian Paul Cronin and "Medium Cool Revisited," a short film essay by Wexler comparing what he saw in '68 to the demonstrations during last year's NATO summit in Chicago.
We phoned the 91-year-old—whose cinematography résumé includes In the Heat of the Night and Days of Heaven—at his Los Angeles office to talk about the making of Medium Cool, his beloved hometown and how Studs Terkel became "Our Man in Chicago."
It's farmers' market season!
Yet another sign of summer: Farmers' markets have finally started. Our farmers' market guide lays out the wheres and whens for every market in the city, including the new Night Markets in Logan Square and on Argyle in Uptown. Feeling inspired by all of that fresh produce? Check out what chefs recommend doing with everything from tomatoes to blueberries.
Jack White tunes that'll put you to sleep
I'm seven-plus months pregnant and let me tell you, I have seen some weird shit marketed to parents, most of which just make me more nervous about my son's impending arrival (will he harbor years of resentment if I don't buy a contraption that warms his baby wipes?). But when I heard about a new album that takes White Stripes songs, removes any trace of testosterone-laden guitar, adds xylophones and bells, and calls the result "lullabies," I was intrigued. Let's be real, though: Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of the White Stripes isn't for babies, it's for parents. So they don't stuff diapers in their ears when they hear "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" for the 107th time. And so they can feel kinda cool, at a time when they couldn't be any less cool.
So how does "Seven Nation Army" sound without Jack White's iconic intro riff and Meg White's thump-thump-thump? Quite pleasant, actually. The xylophones and bells conjure a Jamaican beachside vacation…with a German bell choir. Same goes for "The Hardest Button to Button," "My Doorbell" (I especially appreciate the kazoo action on that track) and the other nine songs taken from the White Stripes' oeuvre. The album's a great way to introduce one of my favorite bands to my son, without subjecting him to the frightening, ghostly visage of Jack White just yet.
5 things to do today: Wednesday, May 22
Lecture: Time Griffin The former editor of Artforum and executive director and chief curator of NYC's the Kitchen delivers a lecture as part of the Elizabeth and Todd Warnock Lecture Series. Mary & Leigh Block Museum of Art. 5pm–6:30pm.
Kastle + XXXY Barrett Richards has dabbled in dead ends like happy hardcore and breaks. Now, as Kastle, he's mining gems of every genre. An eponymous new album, released in April, drifts through shadowy mist of R&B, trap, dubstep (of the preferred U.K. sort), bass, house and garage. Sirens Ayah Marar and Reva DeVito and bedroom crooner JMSN lure you into soulful, crushing grooves. In other words, it's what Burial might sound like if he hung out in strip clubs. Manchester's XXXY is both nostalgic for '90s divas and looking to push house into the future. Lincoln Hall. 9pm. $20, advance $15.
5 comedy shows to see this week
1. Michael Palascak
Stand-up Michael Palascak finally moved out of his parents' house in the suburbs—formerly the source of much of his comedy—and all the way to Los Angeles, scoring his first Comedy Central special last year. Head out to Rosemont to find out what he jokes about these days. Zanies Rosemont. May 22, 23. 8pm. $20.
2. The Timey Wimey Fantastic Brilliant Extravaganza (Geronimo!)
Bring your sonic screwdriver to this affectionate tribute to a certain time-traveling doctor and his companions, penned by brothers Justin and McKenzie Gerber. Right Brain Project. May 24, 25 10:30pm; May 26 3pm. $15, kids 12 and under $10.
3. Improvised Star Trek
Now that you've seen Into Darkness, make the Trek to iO for a night of improvised nerdiness set in the sci-fi franchise's Next Generation era. iO Del Close Theater. May 24. Midnight. $5.
4. Chigaygo
The Laugh Factory slates a new weekly night of queer and queer-friendly comics, produced and hosted by Scott Duff.

Laugh Factory. May 27. 8pm. $17.
5. Two Hour Comedy Hour
Two hours is a lot of stand-up, but the room is a charming one and the producers keep the audience involved with games. Gallery Cabaret. May 25. 7pm. Free.
Album of the week | Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
After a long, long wait, the robots have returned. 2005's Human After All was the automated electronic Daft Punk album. This new record is where Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo show their human sides—their nostalgia for their childhoods.
It was a bit deflating when the songs Daft Punk sampled on its early records showed up on YouTube. Oh, these dudes are just lifting samples from some old obscure funk records. A lot of Discovery is simply a bit of a rare record playing in a loop. Huh. But it sure was awesome. Likewise, though the two Frenchmen have gone organic prog-disco, much of the joy of listening to Random Access Memories depends on how well you can suspend disbelief and ignore the liner notes. It also really helps if you were born in the early- to mid-'70s.
Read my album review of Daft Punk's fourth epic.
5 things to do today: Tuesday, May 21
Amalia Pica In her first major solo museum exhibition (co-organized by the MCA and the MIT List Visual Arts Center), the London-based Argentine artist examines communication—in particular, the act of listening—and civic participation through drawings, sculptures, installations, projections, large-scale photographic prints and live performances. Incorporating simple materials such as flags, banners, confetti and brightly colored drinking glasses, her works are not only thoughtful but beautiful to behold. Museum of Contemporary Art. 10am–8pm.
"Welcome to the Universe" The Grainger Sky Theater's second screening to be made in-house takes you a billion light years away and back to Earth, where you can zoom in on landforms rendered with NASA data that's updated weekly. Much like in the domed theater's original incarnation, a live staffer helms the daily presentations. (Screens about five times a day. Price including admission $28, kids $22.) Adler Planetarium. 9:30am-4pm.
Awful former White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers appointed new Choose Chicago chair
Mayor Emanuel this morning appointed Johnson Publishing CEO Desiree Rogers chair of the board of Choose Chicago, the city-run marketing tentacle whose goal is attracting tourists and convention business.
Cue boilerplate Rahmbo endorsement: "Rogers is a world-class business executive and a truly proud Chicagoan, and her unique talents and experience are a perfect fit for this important role." Her predecessor in the volunteer post, Bruce Rauner, is mulling a run as a Republican candidate for Illinois governor.
Wake Up! Waltz brings dance to Chicago rooftops
On your commute to work this week, put down your phone for a sec (Words with Friends can wait) to witness flashes of orange and fushcia on a nearby roof—a troupe of vibrantly dressed dancers twirling in the sunshine. No, you haven't landed in a Michel Gondry film; you're seeing Wake Up! Waltz, a performance spectacle where 20-some dancers present variations on the waltz on rooftops visible from th el—from the living "green" roof of the Haas Park Field House to the top of an aromatherapy shop in South Shore. Conceived of and directed by artist Josie Davis, the series is designed to add a dose of the unexpected to the morning commute (a different kind of unexpected then, say, sitting on someone's half-eaten Big Mac or running into your ex on the Red Line).
"I think it's rare that people that people are aware of their environment," Davis says. "And it's work like this that gets people to break out of the routines that we live in and see the world in new ways."
The series started May 13 and continues through June 13, four days per week (Monday–Thursday) beginning at 9am. A schedule is posted on the Wake Up! Waltz site.
10 best things to do this week
1. Navy Pier Fireworks Don't waste gas treking to Indiana or Wisconsin to buy your own (illegal) fireworks. Each Wednesday and Saturday, from Memorial Day to Labor Day (and a special show on July 4), Navy Pier makes the rockets red glare and bombs burst in air. They blowed up real good! Navy Pier. May 22; May 25, 10:15pm. Free.
2. Safety Last Dirs. Fred Newmeyer, Sam Taylor. 1923. 77mins. One of the best of Harold Lloyd's thrill-comedies, developing the precarious perch-clinging scenes in earlier shorts like "High and Dizzy" and the stunning "Never Weaken." If he steered clear of the cloying sentimentality that characterised Chaplin and Langdon, Lloyd nevertheless lacked the narrative and visual ambitions that made Keaton a truly great director/comedian. That said, the clock-hanging climax that caps this generally charming tale of a country boy out to make his fortune in the big city is a superb example of his ability to mix suspense and slapstick. Music Box. May 25. 7:30pm. $12.
3. Chance the Rapper It's inevitable and stupid that Chance the Rapper will be compared to Chief Keef. The headier and occasionally silly hip-hop of Chancellor "Chance" Bennett has nothing to do with trap. Because of geography, Kanye comparisons are common, too, but that's not exactly right, either. Well, Chance perhaps calls to mind College Dropout, when Kayne was nerdier and hungry. No, the first rapper that came to mind when hearing Chance was Childish Gambino, who appears on his fantastic new mixtape Acid Rap. Acid is an apt description. Both nights are sold out, but tickets can be found online. Jump on them. Metro. May 25–26, 7pm.
4. "Modernism's Messengers: The Art of Alfonso and Margaret Iannelli" Best known as a collaborator of Frank Lloyd Wright, Alfonso Iannelli (1888–1965) had a multifaceted design practice that encompassed advertisements, household products, public sculptures and more. We're glad to see him and his wife, Margaret Iannelli—an artist whose immense talents have been more neglected than her husband's—get the recognition they deserve. Chicago Cultural Center. Through Aug 17.
5. Electric Daisy Carnival David Guetta, Avicii and Tiësto are the big guns at the top of the bill. But it's not all Eurohouse and trance. There are some killer deep cuts here, too, like DJ Koze, a far more nuanced and weird technician whose latest, Amygdala, arrived as an immediate techno classic. Chicagoland Speedway. May 24–May 26, 5pm. 3-day pass $175, 3-day pass with camping $295, 3-day VIP $299, 3-day VIP with camping $419.
6. International Mr. Leather Weekend Chicago's tribute to the leather lifestyle has grown into a full-blown global event attracting leathermen and fetish enthusiasts from around the world to both compete in the International Mr. Leather contest and also to partake in a weekend of meet-and-greets, workshops, parties and so much more (just hanging around the hotel can make for a wild afternoon). The price of a weekend package is stiff (pun intended), but tickets to the Leather Market and most of the parties can be purchased individually. May 24–27. Most events take place at Chicago Marriott, 540 N Michigan Ave. Weekend packages $175–$205.
7. Blowoff Among his many non-rock pursuits, former wrestling script writer Bob Mould (Sugar, Hüsker Dü) formed DJ outfit Blowoff with Richard Morel while living in Washington, D.C.—they've issued an album and various remixes, but Blowoff is best known as the polysexual dance party they popularized in Chocolate City. There are few better ways to celebrate International Mr. Leather. Metro. May 25, 11pm. $16.
8. L.A. Rebellion: Compensation Dir. Zeinabu Irene Davis. 1999. 90mins. Inspired by a 1905 poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar, former Northwestern faculty member Davis's film juxtaposes two separate Chicago love stories involving deaf women—one set at the turn of the century, the other in the present. The feature screens with an excerpt from Davis' forthcoming doc Spirits of Rebellion about the L.A. Rebellion filmmakers. Block Cinema, Northwestern University. May 23, 7pm.
9. JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound + Yoko and the Oh No's + The Ye Ye's Chicago's hardest-working, hardest-hustling R&B band, JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound, celebrate a new album on Bloodshot, Howl. Recorded in Montreal, the platter sees the soul act impressively stretching out. "I hope we just get better, better, better," Brooks croons on "Rouse Yourself." Considering all the modern touches, they have. Lovable girl-group the Ye Ye's cover French pop of the '60s with garage vigor. Absolutely Not is the brainchild of Donnie Moore and generates infectious one-two beat punk chords. All in all, a fantastic bill of retro-minded locals. Mayne Stage. May 25, 9pm. $28.
10. Randolph Street Market Festival 2013 More than 200 vendors hawk their antique housewares, furniture, ephemera, clothing and more at this indoor-outdoor festival. Stop in for vintage clothes and jewelry, a vinyl swap meet, a fancy food market and global goods bazaar or bring your own for appraisal. Beaux Arts Plumbers Union Hall Building. May 25–26, 10am–5pm. $10, online $8.

TMZ has learned the most recent potential baby mama filed a lawsuit against Future in Georgia earlier this month ... claiming she gave birth to his son on December 4th. She also wants Future to start paying child support for the newborn STAT.

Alayne Patrick, the owner of Boerum Hill home goods store Layla and a former film stylist, arranges her shop like a movie set. Starting with a foundation of hand-chosen fabrics that she imports from craftspeople in India, Patrick the store sells beautiful patterned linens, towels, sheets, and pillows, along with an in-house line of cotton dresses and tunics that changes with the seasons. Silver jewelry, sandals, and other accessories, both new and antique, are also available. The stock changes frequently, as small batches of goods are rotated in and out, so it's worthwhile to stop in and speak with Patrick--about style, her travels, or hows she meshes materials from Southeast Asia with Western sensibilities. If she's not in, though, be ready for cold salespeople; their disinterest will make the price of your purchase sting more than such luxury usually allows. --Diana Clarke
For far less than an Air India ticket might cost, you can bedeck yourself in some of the loveliest merchandise that the subcontinent has on offer. Alayne Patrick--owner of Layla, a jewel box of a shop in Cobble Hill--travels to Rajasthan several times a year and returns with a beautifully curated array of jewelry, accessories, clothing, and textiles. The Hindustani pillows and blankets are particularly colorful and luxurious. More »

Main area of operation is the northwest coast and fjords of Norway – the most interesting and impressive coastal area between Stadt and Trondheim. Other destinations are also possible. We are located on a stretch of unusually varied and adventure-inspiring coastline – Norway in miniature. Only your imagination sets limits to what can be experienced from the outermost skerries, to the inner fjords and the surrounding mountains. How about a trip to the Shetland Islands? Our point of departure encompasses all of this vast area and all harbours in northwest Norway in general. Molde will however be given priority.
The "bird island" Runde, the fishing community Ona, The Atlantic Road, Grip, the majestetic Hjørundfjord, the world heritage area Geiranger and the jugend city Aalesund. All these famous locations are within our area and just some examples of exiting destinations that can be experienced in our concept.
We do not have the midnight sun, however in June and July the sun is close under the horizon only for a few hours, and it is almost daylight through the whole night. We have fresh air, clean waters and plenty of space. We can of course not guarantee the weather, but even the southwest wind and rain have a charm of their own! Kayaking on glassy water at sunrise and when the seabirds wake up just have to be experienced!
The flight time from Gardermoen airport in Oslo to the three main airports in Møre and Romsdal, i.e. Vigra (Ålesund), Aarø (Molde) and Kvernberget (Kristiansund), does not exceed 50 minutes. Transportation from each of these airports to the harbour takes only 20 minutes. This means that our flying guests can be on board our boats in only an hour and a half after departure from Gardermoen (Oslo).

The Collegiate Chorale announces its encore performance with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra of Arnold Schoenberg's Kol Nidre and Israeli composer Noam Sheriff's Mechaye Hametim (Revival of the Dead), which they performed this summer at the Salzburg Festival. The October 25 performance will be the New York premiere of Mechaye Hametim.
Along with Grammy Award-winning baritone Thomas Hampson, Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient Yuja Wang and The Collegiate Chorale, tenor Carl Hieger joins the roster of participating artists in a unique program with Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra at Carnegie Hall on October 25, 2012 at 7pm. The concert recently saw a program change: after the heartfelt response the IPO received for its performance at the Salzburg Festival in July, and front-page coverage of the concert in The New York Times, the Orchestra quickly restructured the October 25 program for Carnegie Hall. Arnold Schoenberg's Kol Nidre and the New York premiere of Noam Sheriff's Mechaye Hametim (Revival of the Dead)-two works performed in Salzburg-will bookend a concert that also features internationally celebrated pianist Yuja Wang performing Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto No. 1.
This benefit concert is being generously underwritten by Adrienne Arsht. Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra will travel across the country with Yuja Wang, performing in New York, Palm Desert, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
Benefit tickets may be purchased by contacting American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra online or by phone at 212-697-2949 or at email@example.com. Concert tickets may be purchased through Carnegie Hall's box office, website or by phone at 212-247-7800. (Tickets starting from $21.)
The Collegiate Chorale's 2012/2013 season:
Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8 and Charles Ives' Symphony No. 4Friday, October 26, 2012 at 8pm at Carnegie HallIn a fusion of song and symphony, The Collegiate Chorale, Brooklyn Youth Chorus and American Symphony Orchestra join forces in honor of the orchestra's 50th anniversary for a performance of Mahler's massive Symphony of a Thousand. First performed in America in 1916 under the baton of the ASO's founder Leopold Stokowski, this performance of the Mahler 8 will be accompanied by Charles Ives' Symphony No. 4 and Stokowski's arrangement of John Stafford Smith's The Star-Spangled Banner. Leon Botstein conducts.
Vincenzo Bellini's Beatrice di Tenda (Fall Gala)Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 6pm at Carnegie HallThe Chorale will feature the extraordinary Angela Meade in the title role, along with soloists Jamie Barton, Michael Spyres and Nicholas Pallesen. Set in 15th century Milan and based on an actual historical figure, the opera tells of the tormented but saintly wife of the Duke of Milan, falsely accused of adultery by the scorned lover of one of her admirers and sentenced to death by her husband. Beatrice di Tenda is characterized by ravishing melodies and exciting finales. It premiered in 1833 and was famously revived in 1961 by Joan Sutherland and Marilyn Horne, Music Director James Bagwell conducts The Collegiate Chorale and American Symphony Orchestra in this Fall Gala presentation.
Osvaldo Golijov's Oceana and Philip Glass's Symphony No. 7 "Toltec"Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 7pm at Carnegie HallIn an interesting pairing of contemporary choral compositions by Golijov and Glass, The Chorale turns its attention towards Latin America with the New York premieres of Oceana andSymphony No. 7 "Toltec." Commissioned by the Oregon Bach Festival in 1996, Golijov wrote Oceana in the spirit of a Bach cantata, but also in a Latin American musical style that features a jazz/pop vocalist, percussion, and guitars. Setting the poetry of Pablo Neruda, Oceana, is in Golijov's words, "the transmutation of passion into geometry" and where "water and longing, light and hope, the immensity of South America's nature and pain, are here transmuted into pure musical symbols, which nevertheless should be more liquid than the sea and deeper than the yearning that they represent." Popular Venezuelan vocalist Biella Da Costa joins The Chorale in performance of this compelling musical work.

The weekend shooting of an armed ex-Navy SEAL at a Texas shooting range should finally lay to rest the National Rifle Association's claim that "the only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
Despite being in an environment surrounded by trained gun operators and accompanied by a military veteran who had not only a gun but the most effective gun training available, the shooter still managed to snuff out another life.
The gun-liberties lobby needs to stop spouting dogma and get serious. If they are so attached to their guns, then the responsibility is on them to explain to the rest of us how those guns will be used responsibly and protected from misuse.
The rest of us have no use whatever for them and would just as soon ban them altogether. If you can't be responsible with your toys, then you don't deserve to have them. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
Time to step up, NRA. Give us a sane and workable explanation on how you and we are going to keep our children protected.

Simi Valley

ESPN reportedly laying off hundreds of employees
These are headlines you never want to see in any industry. Today, out of nowhere, ESPN laid off hundreds of employees. The troublesome signs first appeared on the Twitter page of bestselling author and ESPN authority Jim Miller.
ESPN workforce hasn't faced reductions in its numbers for at least several years. That may no longer be the case. Fasten seat belts.
— James Andrew Miller (@ESPNBook) May 21, 2013
The details are grisly. Miller also pegged the number of layoffs between 300 and 400 employees. Deadspin's John Koblin was told a similar number by sources. Eventually, ESPN would confirm the news in a public statement on the matter that "tried" to put a "positive" spin on the news:

Campus IT departments might be considered the vanguard of enterprise computing. Each new year brings students with more devices that need to connect to a network already supporting university administration, faculty, researchers and a heavy Netflix habit.
As CTOs look for new products, tools, applications and equipment in 2013, here are six trends to watch, according to higher-ed IT leaders interviewed by Campus Technology.
1. Big data beyond the basics. Big data will help institutions build model student profiles that can be used to target for admission those students most likely to be successful.
2. Faster course corrections. Universities will use big data to assess course feedback and quickly make curricula changes.
3. Pressure from BYOD. As students bring an ever increasing number and variety of wireless devices to campus, Wi-Fi networks, tools and support will quickly evolve to meet increased demand.
4. Platform-independent computing gains ground. IT departments will soon support all devices and platforms. Look for virtual desktop environments will allow students run any software, regardless of location or device.
5. Mobile apps are a go. Moving away from broadcast publishing, more schools will develop mobile apps that let users access only the information they need. 6. Growth of educational social media. Social media like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ will be integrated into the curriculum for the real-time, real-world collaboration they enable.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is seeking products and expertise to support and demonstrate secure platforms for the exchange of electronic health information.
The notice in the Federal Register marks the initial step for the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence in the Secure Exchange of Electronic Health Information project. The NCCoE is a public/private collaboration for accelerating the widespread adoption of integrated cybersecurity tools and technologies.
The goal of the demonstration project is to provide a secure, usable and comprehensive security platform that would help health care providers exchange electronic health information.
The secure exchange of health information across devices and networks can be especially challenging for smaller health care providers, NIST said in its announcement. A great number of small, medium and large health care providers may not have the sufficient security infrastructure or expertise to respond to multiple client devices and the variety of health data exchange standards, NIST said.
Following successful demonstrations, NIST will publish a description of the security platform so that other organizations can develop products to meet the program's objectives.

The Army is on the look-out for software tools that could help train soldiers to operate a number of its most powerful combat vehicles, including the Abrams and Bradley tanks and its Wolverine and Stryker armored vehicles.
In a "market investigation survey" issued this month, the Army said it wanted developers to build training software libraries that could replicate the behavior of the vehicles in the real world as well as provide common training capabilities across all vehicle-specific training systems.
The Army wants to two classes of software: a common software library (CSL), which replicates the operations of a specific vehicle, and a common embedded training system (CETS), a library of various training components such as instructor operations, scoring and after-action reviews.
CET systems would aim to augment rather than replace existing stand-alone training systems or capabilities and provide the ability "to train anywhere at any time, at home station or while deployed," the Army notice said.
Before the use of common software libraries, training systems replicated the operations of a single vehicle. But keeping current with the vehicles' software updates was hard to maintain and replicating the precise behavior was nearly impossible, according to the Army.
Instead, the Army prefers working with a single developer that has both a thorough grounding of the combat vehicles and training systems that tap the software libraries. The plan is for a common approach across all training systems and "assures that the warfighters are training on systems that reflect current fielded vehicle systems behavior," according to the notice.
The Veterans Affairs Department is moving aggressively toward full deployment of paperless processing of veterans' disability claims at all regional benefits processing offices this year.
As of December 2012, 18 of the VA's 56 regional offices were on the new system and had begun to process compensation claims in digital format. The remaining 38 offices are expected to be online this year, the VA said in a release.
The new electronic claims processing system is called the Veterans Benefits Management System (VBMS), a "solution that will transform how VA eliminates the backlog in 2015," the announcement said.
Prompt processing of veterans' claims has been a long-standing problem at the agency, which has had to deal with the after-effects of the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, in addition to new claims from veterans of the Vietnam War era that followed the agency's decision to recognize medical conditions related to Agent Orange.
"We recognize that too many veterans are waiting too long to get the benefits they have earned, and that is unacceptable. This is a decades-old problem, and we are implementing a robust plan to address it," said Allison A. Hickey, undersecretary for benefits.
VBMS was pilot-tested at select regional offices between 2010 and 2012, with improvements and greater functionality added to system software releases throughout the testing period. In pilot programs, the new system cut the time to process claims nearly in half.
VA claims processors can access online rules-based calculators and drop-down menus to enhance standardization and accuracy of decisions, for both electronic claims and those received in paper form and uploaded into VBMS.
Processors also will use VBMS to generate letters to veterans concerning their claim status and send requests to private physicians for medical records needed to evaluate claims.
The most recent version of VBMS software allows VA claims representatives to:
"For our employees, VBMS will be a more user-friendly system that offers better access to decision-level information, rules-based calculators, and automated tools that help them process claims more consistently," Hickey said.
When VBMS is combined with VA's other transformation initiatives — including improved claims-rater training, cross-functional claims handling teams and prioritized lanes to speed processing based on type of claim — VA said it will be positioned to meet its goal of processing veterans' claims in 125 days or less, at 98 percent accuracy, by the end of 2015.

As the use of IPv6 broadens, mobile users should see gains in performance, according to members of a panel at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
According to a ComputerWorld article on the discussion, panel members said that one source of improved performance would be that each IPv6-connected device — be it smart phone, phone, router, security camera or office peripheral — can communicate directly to each other over the Internet.
Service providers using IPv4, by contrast, use a process called Network Address Translation that "assigns true, unique Internet addresses to subscribers' devices only temporarily," ComputerWorld reported. The administrative overhead of sending packets back and forth to keep the connection alive slows performance and consumes power.
In addition, IPv6's massive pool of addresses allow an IP address to stay with the mobile device, eliminating the administrative traffic and dropped service when a user travels from one cell to another.
Although the Office of Management and Budget mandated that agencies enable the new protocols on public-facing services such as websites by Sept. 30, 2012, adoption has been slow.

Your average push-ups are excellent for fine-tuning your triceps. Rather than performing push-ups in the normal fashion, place your hands at 45 degree angles with your fingertips facing each other. This targets the triceps. This technique targets and tones your hard-to-work triceps unlike any other exercise.
When you are working out, wear comfy clothing. If you attend a gym, you might feel a bit of pressure to wear the trendy clothing, but you're better off without it. It is important that the clothes you wear are comfortable and which you can freely exercise are. Proper clothes assist you in concentrating on getting fit, not what you are going to wear.
You can exercise as you clean. It doesn't take much effort to integrate a few lunges or squats into a daily break. If you prefer upper body exercises, do push-ups every time you need to clean up a spill. Incorporate fitness routines into whatever you are doing. You will get in shape much faster.
Purchase some work out gear and equipment. Because you had to put money into this equipment you'll feel more committed to using it. It also makes getting fit more convenient. Be sure you are getting the best deal that you can find. Be sure you choose a quality piece that will last you for a long time.
The abdominal area, also known as the body's core, is one of the most important areas to focus on to build overall coordination and fitness. A good goal is to work your core at least a few times a week.
Participate in a wide variety of fitness programs to maintain interest in your workout program. Switching things up will allow you a chance to discover classes you love and give you reason to keep heading back to the gym. Try taking yoga or attending a dance class. Endure a kickboxing or boot camp session. Keep in mind that you do not have to stick with each class if you hate it, but trying out different classes can help you lose weight and get in better shape fast.
When you are exercising you should ensure that you breathe out after ever rep. This permits more efficient use of the body's energy as well as a greater air intake after the exhalation. This provides you with additional energy.
Adhere to the advice offered if you want to get serious about fitness. It can take a little time to learn the tricks of the trade, but it won't take long to look and feel better. Staying fit and keeping healthy is the number one way to be happier.

The government-run Parson's Road Playground is a highly popular attraction for children from all over the island. Parents bring their kids after school at 3:30 p.m., and holidays find the swings, slides, tunnels, fort, and pirate ship crowded with happy youngsters. There's also a gazebo for shady picnics, and plenty of parking.
Spanish Point Park's tiny coves and quiet, shallow bays are just what children love, and kids can spend hours here exploring rock pools, snorkeling, and swimming. The park's North Shore edge, where coves are scattered, is best when the wind is blowing from the south; in the winter, the water gets choppy. Shady trees, lawns for playing, and picnic tables make this a perfect family spot.
Don't miss Fort Hamilton's moat garden and dungeons—one of the Hamilton area's best kid-pleasing attractions, or Admiralty Park's forest trails and rocky tunnels.
X-Clue-Sive Creations at the old Berkeley School (23 Berkeley Rd., at St. John's Rd., tel. 441/296-1676, xcreations [at] logic [dot] bm) allows children and adults to create their own ceramics (lighthouses, pirate mugs) and then paint them. Collect them a few days later after glazing.

Bad Baby
Olive has a new nickname: Bad Baby.
While in Taipei, she perfected her walking skills, and became super cocky. This cockiness quickly manifested itself into naughtiness. She climbs stuff she knows she shouldn't climb, throws food she knows she shouldn't throw, dry-cries non-stop to get her way... *sigh* Each time she misbehaves, the huz and I yell, "BAD! BAD BABY!" To which she responds by repeating the word, "BAD!" and following it up with a mischievous giggle. We know we shouldn't laugh (for fear of encouraging poor behavior), but we can't help it...

Munchkin Room Makeover
"Remember, I'm not a regular mom. I'm a cool mom."
Prior to the munchkin's arrival, I clocked in a ridiculous number of hours surfing the blogosphere for nursery inspiration. There are so many stylish mamas out there, and they all seem capable of balancing fun and chic when it comes to decorating a kid's space. Me? Not so much. I was determined to copy one of the uber-cool Lonny and Elle Decor-worthy rooms, and wah-lah! My baby girl would grow up to be a kind, happy being because of her fab environment, and I will earn the title of cool mom. *fist pump*
Unfortunately, as her due date got closer and closer, I found myself throwing my hands up in the air - surrendering to the interior decorating gods. The room le huz and I had hoped to put her in was a challenge to work with (three inconveniently-situated windows paired with two separate closet doors). And instead of tackling the task head on, I decided to temporarily house the munchkin in a teeny-tiny room off our kitchen - one that was intended for a maid back when in the '20s when the house was built - and basically denied her a proper play space until now. Yes, well, a year and a half later, I'm getting closer to presenting our baby girl with the rad room she deserves.
Before: Depressing cave of clutter.
(I hadn't entered the room for over a year since because the live-in-nanny had been staying here.)
(I hadn't entered the room for over a year since because the live-in-nanny had been staying here.)
After: Bright. Happy. Fun.
We painted the room and window trim in Benjamin Moore's Swiss Coffee, got rid of the heavy charcoal gray drapes, and splurged on some dramatic wallpaper - Hicks' Grand by Cole & Son. I REALLY wanted to install toile wallpaper but ultimately decided to go with a more contemporary choice. The wallpaper is from Walnut, the grass-like shag rugs (we laid down two) and green gingham floor pillow are from IKEA, the vintage shelving unit is by Muriel Coleman, the orange Maharam zigzig pillow was purchased from Rummage, the rocker-glider is by Dwell, the African stool on which the owl is perched was picked up at the Rose Bowl Flea, and finally, the chubby owl was picked up during a trip to Tokyo from Kiddyland.
More shots of this work-in-progress to come. Curtains still need to be hung, the crib and bed need to be moved in, an overhead light fixture needs to be installed, and the closets are begging for some Container Store Elfa components...
Ma's getting closer, Olive.

Stranger Danger
It's been eons since my last post because somebody whom I now fondly refer to as "Bad Baby" has been keeping me kinda-sorta busy. As the most fabulous woman on the planet, Tina Fey, once uttered, "Being a mom has made me so tired. And so happy." Traveling with a baby into a drastically different timezone isn't exactly a walk in the park, but it's been so much fun seeing my parents, Olive's grandparents, interact with her. They're smitten with this Bad Baby.
Can you blame them?
Many more stories to share. Will do so when we return!

Text exchange with le huz this morning.
Me: Did it hurt?
Him: Huh?
Me: When you fell from heaven.
Him: Omg
Le huz is away for Valentine's Day this year. Come to think of it, he was away for Valentine's Day last year as well. No worries. Olive's baby daddy will be back in a day. In the meantime, I've got her and Beans to cuddle with. Love overload! Wishing y'all a Valentine's Day as full of cheesy-goodness as mine...
On a side note, Olive's Uncle Jon and Auntie Lil have been in town, so we've been hard at work showing our guests around town. Yesterday we dropped by the Brentwood Country Mart for a weekday brunch at Farmshop. The monster was super pleased with her mornings eggs (dining in the company of gorgeous star Allison Williams aka Marnie from "Girls") and even more impressed by the banana split we shared at Sweet Creamery afterwards. This photo was taken after we destroyed our sundae...

I first came across Kathryn Lynch's paintings while browsing my favorite store in Los Angeles, Nickey Kehoe. I recall a painting of a sunset hanging there that made me smile. There is a childlike element in her translation of landscapes onto canvas - yet there is also a clear mastery of color and light in her work... *gasp* I returned to Nickey Kehoe to splurge and buy that piece (this was years ago) but it had already been sold... *sigh* Well, her latest series of tugboats and dog park observations continue to showcase her talent. I love her work and hope to own a piece someday.

Bite of the Big Apple
Back from our whirwind trip to the Big Apple.
I left my voice there.
And I'm pretty sure little Olive left her heart there.
From the looks on her face for most of the trip, I'm pretty sure kiddo thinks the place is faboosh.
I didn't think she was going to understand what was going on around her when we booked the tickets, but one should never underestimate a munchkin's ability to process and appreciate. My baby girl's eyes were wide-open during each stroll and cab-ride... There didn't seem to be a bite of food during each meal out that she turned down... And don't even get me started on the joy on her face when we first stepped foot into FAO Schwarz... Girl knew what was going on. And she was on a mission...
I spy tutus! Oh dear...
Mama, pandas!
And ooh! Extra-large Chupa chups!
I lick it, I keep it!
Ahh... Vacays are always fun, but boy am I happy to be back.
Pretty sure she is as well.

Love Affair
Le huz travels regularly for work, so like it or not, living out of a suitcase is his thing. I, on the other hand, am a house-bound martian who gets a strange kick out of being faced with the challenge of editing my life (and my munchkin's) to fit in a carry-on-sized bag.
Seeing that we've been traveling a bunch with Olive - and will be traveling even more in the months to come (read: Taiwan and Iceland) - I began researching luggage. With a baby strapped to my front, a diaper bag in my right hand, and a collapsible stroller in my left, I'm left with no limbs to spare for all our other creature comforts. There must be a durable yet light backpack out there that one, doesn't make me look like, well, a backpacker; two, maximizes the amount of items a baby and sometimes fashion-conscious mommy would require; and three, functions as international carry-on. Imagine scrambling to purchase baby-necessities in a foreign country due to lost-luggage. Gawd. There's a nightmare I never want to experience.
Luckily, I found perfection in the Tom Bihn Aeronaut. My first trip traveling with the bag and baby was to Portland for a mere two days. Not a huge challenge. But this weekend, we're meeting up with le huz in NYC. Finished packing last night, and I was amazed to find that I didn't need to sacrifice outfit options for me or the munchkin. I was able to fit four outfits for me, six for her, plenty of diapers, formula, fruit pouches and extra bottles. The bag's smart design keeps me organized (all of Olive's clothes and belongings fit into the two side compartments (I bought two of their packing cubes), while all of my clothes, toiletries and gadgets fit in the center. The satisfaction of being able to comfortably fit all our crap into a neat little package is huge. And ooh, because I am able to carry the bag on my back, hopping on and off public transportation will be painless. It was painless in Portland!
I'm not alone in this love affair. This rad Seattle-based company has more rabid fans here. Can't wait to take this baby (and my other baby - Olive) to see more of the world!

Fantastic Voyage
Well, big news for y'all... Olive is no longer an infant. And with age has come a strange tolerance for plane rides, an adoration for the iPad (Elmo!), and appreciation of all things new and never-before-seen. As difficult as our munchkin was during her colic months, she's made up for that time by being a surprisingly good traveler. Huz and I are showered with compliments each time we take her on a plane. "Best baby ever!" "I wish all babies were like her on a plane." And ooh, "Did you give her tranquilizers? She was so well-behaved!" Armed with bottles for take-off and landing, a tupperware of blueberries and our Ergo baby carrier (God-sent), this mommy and baby duo can go anywhere! At this age, she still thinks Mommy's lap is the best seat in the house. A good thing, because Mommy's lap is free...
Ahh, a mere year-old, Olive has already been to San Francisco, Boston, all-over Maine, Taipei, Portland, and soon zee Big Apple. That's right... We're New York bound this weekend - on a red-eye flight, no less. Let's hope this little jetsetter is reeeeeally sleepy through out the flight.

DeChristopher Appeal Today in Denver
Lawyers for environmental activist Tim DeChristopher appeared in a federal court in Denver on Thursday to appeal his two-year jail sentence for disrupting a 2008 federal oil-lease auction. In July, a federal judge ordered DeChristopher to serve two years in prison and rejected his argument that his actions were valid civil disobedience. DeChristopher was not released from prison in California to attend the hearing, although he expects to be transferred to a Littleton, Colorado, facility late... Read More

"Assessing prospects, addressing challenges"
World grain and oilseed prices have retreated from their highs, but supplies remain tight following last year's poor harvests in key exporting countries. While South American crops look set to break new records this season, drought conditions in the US remain a concern, and a recovery in demand will keep supplies under pressure.
With renewed price volatility, biofuel mandates have come under intense scrutiny, and the potential for policy-driven restrictions to trade, particularly should harvests disappoint again, are an enduring market concern.
The IGC Grains Conference brings together key decision makers, industry representatives and other stakeholders to discuss the latest developments in the grain and oilseed markets together with the policy challenges they present.

Key Messages
RESPECT... is where it's at!
"Consent is Sexy"
Talking about sex and your sexual desires is a great way to get to know your sexual wants and boundaries as well as those of your partner, plus it's super hot!
"Only Yes Means Yes"
You may have heard of the common saying "No Means No". Well, we wanted to flip it around and talk about saying YES.
We know that young people, and indeed adults, are sexual beings, and we do not judge them for it. Instead, we want to give them the tools to know what they want, and ways to ask for what they want.
We also want to make it clear that there are a variety of circumstances which may mean "No, don't go further!", not just the word NO.
People often assume there is consent, or permission to initiate sexual activity when in fact the other person is not into it.
But just because…
- they dressed a certain way
- they went on a date with you
- they were silent
- they like you
- they are a man
doesn't mean yes. Only yes means yes.
So, don't assume. Ask.
"Everyone has the right to a sexuality without violence"
Youth have always identified respect as key to their self-worth, happiness and successful relationships. Project Respect emphasises that giving and getting respect means recognizing that everyone has a right to be respected regardless of how they look, what they wear and how they decide to express their sexuality. Everyone also has a responsibility to respect those rights in others.
Labels like "slut" and "fag" can really hurt someone and lead to extreme physical consequences. They are a part of sexualized violence and we need to work together to create a world free of labels.
"Communicate to get consent"
Knowing your sexual desires is pretty powerful stuff. When you want to act on your desires, you also have the responsibility to get consent from whomever else you want to be with. So, how do you find out if someone else is into what you are into ASK! Know how to ask for what you want and learn how to listen to your partner.
We are all about consent!
"You have the power to make change"
Join the Respect Revolution Campaign or learn how to intervene safely in situations you see around you in your school or at a party. We help youth discover their leadership potential in making their schools and peer groups free of gender-based violence.

Living a healthy lifestyle of course includes eating healthy, learning even the basics of nutrition and understanding the many benefits of healthy eating on the body, mind and spirit. For people living on a budget, eating healthy may seem to be an impossible task, especially with food prices going up and trying to make ends meet in a down economy.
I've had a strong interest and desire for quite some time now to read and learn everything I possibly can about natural health and proper nutrition, in order to ensure that Grandpa and I are living and eating the healthiest ways humanly possible. Making proper food choices, receiving the greatest benefits from the four main food groups, getting in a healthy amount of exercise, etc.

Moon-Mars Update
Frank Sietzen has an update on Congressional action on the funding for the Moon-Mars plan.
Under the terms of Wednesday's action, the conference committee expressed support for the Bush space plan, and strong support for the space shuttle and International Space Station programs."The conferees support the president's vision for exploration and believe the fiscal year 2005 funding … should provide sufficient funding to initiate the process," the report that accompanied the resolution stated. It also said the bulk of NASA's increase was dedicated to costs associated with returning the space shuttle to flight and continued construction and operations of the station.
"The conferees hope that these two must-fund requirements will be taken into account during their consideration of the NASA appropriations," the report stated.
He doesn't specify what the purview of the House-Senate conference committee was, however, and notes that the space committees in both chambers have been reluctant to act on the proposed spending without additional information — which, of course, should become available in about two weeks, when the Aldridge Commission issues its report. In any case, as he notes, the FY2005 NASA budget is unlikely to be passed until after the start of the new calendar year, even if the reauthorization bill for the agency is put to a vote before the fall recess.

They must have a secret to that great pastrami, but as you can tell in the video, though I did get behind the counter, with camera rolling, I failed to wheedle any secrets out of the stoic, divinely New York, countermen.
That's the bad news. The good news is that I'll have to go back and try for it again & again & again & you get the picture. What is not a secret is that Pastrami Queen makes expensive, (worth it to me), superior, highly-rated, kosher pastrami and serves it up in large portions. I mentioned that they are kosher, right? In practice this means don't expect any dairy with the meat, even including cheese to make a Reuben Sandwich. The irony is that the meat is so good, its the one time I'd take a "Meat on Bread Sandwich" over a Reuben.
I encourage you to go and bust your cholesterol count for the best tasting pastrami this side of anywhere and if in the process you learn their "secret" don't leave P Chef out in the cold. Share the love!
To get to Pastrami Queen head to the Upper East Side of NYC on Lexington between 78th & 79th
1125 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10075-0429 (212) 734-1500 The pastrami must be great because they aren't selling the stuff with their web site @ www.pastramiqueen.com

Press Room
Community Hospital Long Beach Joins MemorialCare Health System as its sixth hospital facility in Los Angeles and Orange CountiesApril 29, 2011Historic Eastside Campus Now Part of Growing Regional Southland Network Fountain Valley, Calif. (April 29, 2011) – Community Hospital Long Beach today joined MemorialCare Health System as its sixth hospital facility in Los Angeles and Orange Counties and third hospital in Long Beach. "Our ownership of Community Hospital Long Beach will enhance the ability of these remarkable hospitals to continue providing exceptional care for our communities well into the future," says Barry Arbuckle, Ph.D., president and CEO of the not-for-profit MemorialCare Health System. "We are excited to add such a dedicated and talented team of employees, physicians and volunteers to the MemorialCare family. They embody the can-do spirit that has made Community Hospital a provider of choice in East Long Beach," says Diana Hendel, PharmD, who has led Long Beach Memorial Medical Center and Miller Children's Hospital Long Beach for more than two years and becomes CEO of the three Long Beach hospitals. With 1,006-licensed beds, the three Long Beach hospitals include 5,900 employees, 1,400 affiliated physicians and 1,000 volunteers. "Community Hospital Long Beach will continue to benefit East Long Beach for decades to come," says Nancy Myers, who served as the Community Hospital of Long Beach board chair. "Being part of MemorialCare brings new opportunities for our dedicated physicians, nurses and other professionals to provide the local community with greater health services while maintaining the level of highly personalized care that Community Hospital offers." Terms of the transaction include assuming the lease of Community Hospital campus from the City of Long Beach, which includes the hospital and medical office building. Community Hospital's leadership team will continue in their roles, reporting to Hendel. A search for a hospital administrator responsible for overall operations and business development is underway. Current employees of Community Hospital have been encouraged to remain, with most continuing in their roles. Plans to integrate and expand services offered by the Long Beach-based MemorialCare hospitals are in development. Opened in 1924, the original Community Hospital building is designated as a Long Beach Historic Landmark for its Spanish Colonial Revival Style, its courtyard patio, fountain centerpiece and arcade facade. As a new member of the MemorialCare family in Long Beach, Community Hospital joins Long Beach Memorial and Miller Children's Hospital, which rank in the top two in the West in numbers of hospital beds on one campus. With more than a century of caring for the community, Long Beach Memorial and Miller Children's Hospital have received significant and ongoing accolades, including listings among U.S. News & World Report's Best Hospitals and Top Children's Hospital rankings. Recently, they were honored with MemorialCare Health System as one of just 29 businesses worldwide to receive the prestigious Gallup Great Workplace Award. MemorialCare Health System with 1,549 licensed hospital beds is nationally recognized for leadership in best-practice medicine and advanced technologies. The Southern California Health System includes Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, Miller Children's Hospital Long Beach, Community Hospital Long Beach, Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center in Fountain Valley and Saddleback Memorial Medical Center in Laguna Hills and San Clemente, plus numerous outpatient facilities and programs.
