-- The first section of this topic is shown below --
- Common, highly contagious generalized exanthem characterized by the development of crops of pruritic vesicles on the skin and mucous membranes
- Fever in up to 70% of persons
- Virus is spread by respiratory (airborne) droplets, direct contact with varicella vesicles, or, rarely, zoster lesions.
- Virus establishes latency in the dorsal root ganglia; reactivation results in herpes zoster or "shingles."
- Outbreaks tend to occur late winter to early spring in temperate climates.
- Usual incubation period is 14–16 days (range, 10–21). Patients are infectious from ~48 hours before appearance of the rash until the final lesions have crusted. Historically, most people acquire chickenpox during childhood and develop lifelong immunity:
- Now it is an immunizable disease.
- System(s) affected: Nervous; Skin/Exocrine
- Synonym(s): Varicella
- Predominant age: Peak incidence preschoolers to 9 years, but may occur at any age
- Predominant gender: Male = Female
- Decreasing incidence since vaccine available: Estimated at 3.5 million cases annually prior to vaccine introduction, with an incidence rate of 8–9% in children age 1–9 years. Reported US varicella cases 1991: 147,076; reported for 2010: 15,427, provisionally reported for 2011: 12,041 cases (1,2)
- Prior to vaccine availability, ~100 deaths/year were reported in the US; for 2010, only 4 deaths were reported (1).
- US rates: 1994, prior to vaccine: 135.76/100,000 persons; 2009: 8.71/100,000 persons (1)
- Rates in the US had dropped continuously after vaccine development until mid-2000s when they evened out; 2nd dose of vaccine recommended in 2006, and rates again have declined year by year (1).
Risk Factors
- No prior history of varicella infection
- Immunosuppressed patients (especially children with leukemia/lymphoma in remission or receiving high-dose corticosteroids)
- Infection more severe in adults than in children
- Latent varicella infection may reactivate and cause the exanthem known as shingles or zoster.
- Herpes zoster vaccine, a live attenuated vaccine licensed in 2006, is now recommended for persons ≥60 years to prevent zoster (shingles): FDA-approved for those ≥50 years:
- 1-time dose. Recommended for those previously infected with varicella (chickenpox); those never infected should receive regular varicella vaccine. Dose: 0.65 mL SQ, available as single-dose vial.
- Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends routine vaccination of all persons aged >60 years with 1 dose of zoster vaccine. It is not necessary to ask patients about their history of varicella (chickenpox) or to conduct serologic testing for varicella immunity.
- Most common cause of death: Primary viral pneumonia
- Neonates born to mothers who develop chickenpox from 5 days before to 2 days after delivery are at risk for serious disease. Must give varicella-zoster immune globulin.
- Varicella bullosa seen mainly in children <2 years. Lesions appear as bullae instead of vesicles. The clinical course does not change.
- Most common cause of death: Septic complications and encephalitis
- Avoid aspirin/acetylsalicylic acid in children because of link to Reye syndrome.
- 25% risk of transplacental infection after maternal infection
- Congenital malformations are seen in 2% of patients when the fetus is infected during the 1st or 2nd trimesters, characterized by limb atrophy and scarring of the skin of the extremities and occasional CNS and eye manifestations.
- Morbidity is increased in women infected during pregnancy (e.g., pneumonia).
General Prevention
- Exposed, susceptible people should be considered at risk and potentially infectious for 21 days.
- Isolate hospitalized patients.
- Passive immunization with IM varicella-zoster immune globulin given within 96 hours of exposure, but recently approved for 10 days after exposure (3):
- Recommended for people exposed to chickenpox or shingles who are immunocompromised, newborns of mothers with onset of chickenpox <5 days before delivery or <2 days after delivery, premature infants (<28 weeks) exposed in neonatal period either whose mothers are not immune, or babies who weigh <1,000 g regardless of mom's immunity (3).
- Active immunization after exposure: Shown to prevent or reduce significantly the severity of varicella if given within 72 hours postexposure
- Active immunization: Varicella virus vaccine (Varivax): Live attenuated vaccine approved by FDA in 1995 for pediatrics immunization and recommended by ACIP for immunization of healthy patients ≥12 months who have not had chickenpox:
- 12 months–12 years: Initial dose 0.5 mL SC at age 12–15 months; 2nd dose age 4–6 years. Prelicensure studies showed efficacy rates: 70–90% against any disease and 95% against severe disease 7–10 years after vaccination. Other studies showed 100% efficacy at 1 year and 98% at 2 years after vaccination. More recent studies show rates of 85–94% effectiveness, the higher end for the prevention of severe disease. The 2-dose regimen is even more effective, with rates of 96–98% effectiveness. Breakthrough disease generally has <50 lesions, shorter duration of illness, and lower incidence of fever (4)[A].
- ≥13 years: Two 0.5 mL SC doses 4–8 weeks apart, seroconversion rates 78–82% after 1 dose, 99% after 2 doses. Adults have efficacy rates in the lower end of this range.
- Estimated 2-dose vaccine coverage in the US for 2009 in children ages 19–35 months: 89.6%
- Vaccine side effects are pain and redness at vaccine site.
- Vaccine contraindications (5):
- Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to a previous dose or vaccine component
- Severe immunodeficiency (e.g., severely immunocompromised HIV patients, on chemotherapy, congenital immunodeficiency, or long-term immunosuppressive therapy)
- Pregnancy
- Newly approved MMRV vaccine, which combines the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine with varicella, is equally effective. There are rare reports of an increased risk of febrile seizures 5–12 days after vaccination in 1/2,300–2,600 patients (6)[A].
- May be considered for a subset of HIV-positive children in CDC class I with CD4 >25%:
- Vaccine recipients should avoid contact with immunocompromised people and pregnant women who have never had chickenpox and their newborns, for up to 6 weeks after vaccination.
- Children needing catch-up vaccination need at least 3 months between doses 1 and 2.
- Skin lesions identical histologically to those of herpes simplex virus
- In fatal cases, intranuclear inclusions can be found in the endothelium of blood vessels and most organs.
- Varicella-zoster virus is a member of the α-Herpesviridae subfamily; a double-stranded DNA virus.
- Reservoir is humans

Copyrights and stuff essay
April 03, 2012, 06:30:24 PM »
Alan, call the university in question and ask for their legal representative. The use here is well out of the fair use because it was used in an advertisement of a university sponsored event. The poster is actually promoting the event. The student
have the right to copy and use your work for a classroom project--you cannot stop that. But the work cannot be shown at a public event outside the course. By calling and asking for the universities legal representatives you will catch their attention--tell them you want to speak to their lawyer over a copyright infringement.
The professor should know better (and she contacted you for usage fees and so she does know) and so should the university. BTW, I teach poster design at a college.

As a student, you can manipulate any work anyway you choose. This would certainly be helping the student learn to retouch an image and therefore be improving their skill.

For the strict purposes of "educational" fair use, yes it would allow taking somebody else's image and screwing around with it and using it for a class, but the line is drawn very easily at "using" that image for any purpose outside of the scope of a class. Using it as a promo for a promo poster for a conference is in no way an "educational use". The scool screwed the pooch.
It's infringement, clear and simple and if the infringing party took the time to remove the watermark, it's willful infringement. The only real question is whether or not Alain has a Copyright Registration...if he did, a simple letter to the school proving willful infringement would shut this down immediately and result in a settlement.
The registration of a copyright in the US has major implications. If a post registration infringement occurs, it's pretty easy to force the infringer to settle otherwise face punitive damages (50K per infringement plus attorneys fees). The problem with non-registered copyright is that in order to sue in Federal Court for infringement, you have to first register the copyright. Infringement AFTER a registration presumes you are the copyright holder, infringement BEFORE registration requires the copyright holder to PROVE ownership. That is a HUGE friggin' difference...in the case of an infringement of a registered copyright, you'll have IP attorneys lining up outside your door to work on contingency, infringement after registration, you'll need to front the money just to file in Federal Court...
There is no question that academia is totally friggin' clueless regarding intellectual property...look, they can barely teach their classes let alone understand any sort of legal nuances of copyrights...
I've yet to actually have a copyright infringement case get to court, but I have settled out of court many times. Why? I try to register all my copyright with the Library of Congress. When the apposing council finds out that the infringement is of a registered copyright, the attorneys tell their clients to settle or else face punitive damages plus attorneys fees (which can be far more than actual damages).
The main problem with copyright in the US is that yes, authors are accorded copyright protection at the point of creation...but, if you don't register your copyright BEFORE infringement, you have to prove you ARE the copyright holder (which it much tougher in court with rules of evidence) AND you have to prove actual damages (which is a much harder proposition than you might imagine).
The school screwed up big time. If Alain had registered his copyright BEFORE infringement, he could own the friggin' school at this point. If it's not a registered copyright, well, the best he can hope for is to slap the hands of the student/teacher and teach the friggin' school a lesson or two. The odds of getting lots of money isn't great. On the other hand, I've successfully gotten money from a wide array of infringers of my imageslargely because many/most of my images are registered...my Globe Hands image (as seen on my
home page
) has been licensed legally for nearly $1/4 million and almost $50K just in infringements...I take this shyte pretty seriously :~). Business is business...

They are stealing our work
Yes, it happens all the time and will happen to anyone. When you least expect it.
As Alain states, it's just too easy to lift the images from Internet and it's very difficult to track.
The good thing is, that stolen landscape or artistic images are seldom used by porno sites or dating agencies.
Even the stock photos with embedded agency copyright notice in small web size are pulled from the websites and used in unauthorized ways. Or single images without the watermark notice are bought inexpensively with a subscription plan and remarketed as original images with another unsuspecting agency. If a graphics designer on the other side of world gets somehow your image, and uses it locally for his clients, you would never find out about it. In another instance, large publisher buys inexpensively some images for a small initial print run, the book becomes a hit, is re-printed in a half a million print run, but they "forget" to repurchase new image license.
Once, I photographed a sport event, and sent a few images for personal use to the captain of the team, and he promptly put it on their club website with his own copyright notice. Sometimes you grant a one-time use image license to a client, and later they reuse it for another promotional project. Happens all the time.
Tineye.com will find some of the copies on the web, but not if the image itself has been incorporated in another collage or PDF file. By the way, as long as your name appears on the photograph (not an outright image theft, but sometimes an unathorized usage), you can also search for its use also on Amazon and Google.
Thanks, Alain for listing all precautions an author can take, but as you say, it is time consuming, and perhaps not worth for all images.
Sometimes, if a photographer and his images are well known, a colleague will spot an infraction or theft and report it back to the image creator.

I find the way photographers complain about copyright infringement wonderfully humorous!
When landscape photographers are arguing for the protection of the environment, the default position is (of course) that what is best for society as a whole should always take priority over the greed and profit of one corporation or individual.
Similarly, fine art photographers know that great works are not made by those who are completely naive to the masters that came before.
Yet, when it comes to protecting ones own profits, it is argued that a photo is an entirely original creation and that they should be granted unlimited degree of protection for unlimited amount of time regardless of any benefit to society.
And I am sorry, Sir, academia is NOT totally friggin' clueless regarding intellectual property. We just happen to understand that information, learning, nor creation - none of them - occurs in a vacuum.

You have it backwards. The artist's purpose is whatever they choose. There is no implied "debt" to anyone, other than what the artist chooses. It's called freedom of expression - any infringement, such as Alain has described, is a waste of his time - better served following his craft....

Yes, you are (unfortunately...) and it's a widespread intentional and institutional ignorance...(meaning, on "purpose")
Academia presumes little or no prior ownership because, well in academia there is nothing original, everything is built upon others. That flies directly in the face of the creation of new intellectual property. Do you really understand "copyright" and the original origins? Do you understand that copyright laws in the US precede the Bill of Rights? Do you understand the origins of
copyright law
? Do you understand the
Statue of Ann
Sorry, academia is indeed intentually ignorant, on purpose (because its useful)... "academia" tries to raise above "ownership" of IP and makes claims of prior works and building upon others and reducing "creation" to something other than clear ownership of new ideas...
Bullshit...if somebody creates something on their own, they OWN it...and nobody has a legit claim to be able to incorporate prior work into new work without ceding ownership to the prior work (thus giving you copyright ownership).
Sorry...academia, in this day and age is, well, a very retro art and relies too much on non-ownership and way too much on assuming that others can take what others have worked hard producing and moving it forward without consequences...
There are consequences...and academia needs to learn some hard lessons. Go ahead...steal one of my images for "educational uses" and see what happens to you. It won't be pretty...and if you steal one of my registered copyrighted images, it'll cost you. (the upside it I've already got a track record of previous infringements which I can use as proof of damages)...
Actually, that's an asset...

Calm down, calm down. I meant "hypocrite" in in the humorous-juxtaposition sense, not in the new-testament damned-to-hell sense. And certainly if one of the two preceding conditions doesn't hold for you, then certainly the accusation doesn't hold either.
Mr. Schewe,
Your statement that "academia is totally friggin' clueless regarding intellectual property" is an vast generalization applied to a large and diverse (by anyone's standards) group. I'm calling you on that generalization.
And... WOW, "in academia there is nothing original"? Used any technology lately!?! The American academy had no influence on the creation of any of that stuff.
Truly, I don't want this to turn into another internet flame war.
In no way am I trying to suggest that anyone, including students, should break the laws that have been part of this country for a very long time.
I'm simply pointing out that those laws are in conflict with the reality of how creativity happens. All creation, including yours, occurs by copying a large number of other peoples' ideas and making only small adjustments. Just because the copying part is subtle and usually subconscious, doesn't mean it is absent. Example: are not almost all of the photos you copyright rectangular in framing? Sorry if I don't believe that you came up with that idea. There are MANY little things like this related to exposure, lighting, composition, etc. All of these were learned from others, and each little advancement was an important creative idea for the person who came up with it. You are the beneficiary of these advancements and as a result you produce work that is almost entirely made up of what society taught you to produce - with a small touch of true originality.
The sheer number of photographs being created simply doesn't allow anymore for any one individual to lay claim on societies ideas. Just look at the vast body of work on flicker. And you think that you can do anything that someone else can't claim as a copyright infringement? If you sincerely attempted to avoid all copyright infringement, there would be nothing left for you to point your camera at. In the end, copyrights don't protect the photographer. They protect those who are willing to take it to court!

It may be a generalization, but it doesn't make it less true...I've dealt with WAY too many college level teachers who have zero understanding of copyright law and studiously try to ignore the consequences...and I've successfully gotten settlements from that group when they stray from the straight and narrow...
Look, "Photo Education" in America is an inbred cesspool...college level teachers (in general) have no clue about intellectual property and copyrights...Go ahead and prove me wrong! (I've had this conversation with college level instructors who DO care and it pisses them off too).
To teach in a college level photo curriculum requires an MBA/MS at best, right (there may be a few PHDs that lecture)? What are the odds that such an instructor has studied either business law (actually ANY sort of business classes) and understands the implications of what they or their students do? Somewhere between zero and nothing.
Been there, done that, have the Tee shirts...it's very VERY rare where a college level instructor can articulate the principals of intellectual property and the origins of copyright law to their students. Do you honestly dispute that?
In the internet age, things have gotten worse, not better...if "creativity" requires taking somebody's image and repurposing it unmodified except for the removal of a watermark, then that creativity is an abomination...it's intellectual theft, pure and simple. I think there are STILL rules regarding "plagiarism" in higher education, right? Are words any more susceptible to plagiarism than images? They shouldn't be...
What Alain wrote about was plagiarism without a doubt...the sad thing is some don't even realize that. That student should be suspended and the instructor that allowed it fired. And the school should pay the financial price for the actions of the student and teacher. That way the institution might learn somethingand be able to pass it along to it's paying students.

Yes, certainly. Direct reproduction is over the line. And cloning out the copyright statement is just admission of guilt. This is what Alan Briot was talking about, and I take that as given.
There is an essential need for copyright laws. They have, unfortunately, moved too far in scope (à la: if one concept from my photograph appears in yours, then you are infringing) and duration (damn you Micky Mouse!) from their origin and purpose. My arguments are intended to push the pendulum back to the center, not to have it swing the other way.

Alain, i could not help smiling when i saw how boldly you have been ripped off here. I understand your reaction - however it seems this kind of unauthorized use is easier to deal with than a lot of other cases.
Some of my (non-photographic) images turn up quite prominently in Google image search and as a result are used without authorization frequently. On the other hand i get quite a lot of inquiries for image production and licensing the same way - these are two sides of the same medal. What troubles me most is that in case unauthorized use happens internationally people sometimes feel quite safe doing so. And i am not talking about some poor 3rd world country people who cannot afford my prices or some private website use - some time ago a US company for example approached me about an image for use in some kind of booklet and after we did not come to an agreement simply used another image anyway.
I wonder if anyone here has an idea how international copyright violations can be efficiently handled in case talking does not work without hiring a local lawyer.

International copyright violation is a whole different ballgame.
Some country's legal systems will respect the laws of others.
In terms of criminality extradition agreements are in place.
Civil litigation is much more difficult and expensive.
I don't think that there is an internationally enforcable code of conduct or legal framework across all countries dealing with copyright infringement.
Even multinational companies with billions of dollars in their legal warchests may fail to enforce their own trademarks and copyrights so what chance individual photographers.
Nonetheless, this whole issue is a growing one and deserves attention.
Are there any in the LuLa community with specific legal knowledge in this area that can shed light on how to enforce copyright across international boundaries.
Michael: would it not be an idea to approach a copyright expert for an article dealing with the issue of international copyright infringement.

Blacksmith, I have a lot of sympathy with your point of view about creativity and the proverbial "dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants" problem. Unfortunately, here at LuLa, photographers tend to have a sense of entitlement that blinds them to seeing a more nuanced or alternative point of view...of course, they have their economic livelihood in the game. Young people today will not be able to follow the career path that Schewe or Michael have made for themselves. Like it or not, digital technology resulting in the commoditization of art along with globalization (sharing with cultures that don't share our values about ownership of creative work) are factors that have forever changed the rules of fair (or unfair) use of creative work--the law and the practitioners just haven't caught up yet.

The world of punditry is divided into two groups: those who attend the World Economic Forum at Davos and those who mock the World Economic Forum at Davos. (There's a subgroup that both attends and mocks, but it's tiny.)
Yet Davos is important, whether you attend or no. (I don't.) And if Ian Bremmer is right, this year something genuinely encouraging may be happening at the grand global gathering of business leaders, politicians and big-thinking academics.
"As the world struggles to bolster its resilience against economic and political uncertainty, the key risk is the increasing vulnerability of elites. We're seeing leaders of all kinds, in the developed and developing world, in politics as well as business and media, answering to constituents who grow more dissatisfied... and information-rich. Look at the riots in India over the recent rape scandal, the U.S. Congress' abysmal approval ratings or the phone hacking scandal at News Corp. Corruption, special interests or a lack of transparency will spell trouble for leaders."
Bremmer, a brilliant analyst of the global economy, is a regular Davos participant. He's recording his impressions of the 2013 conference in a diary for the Huffington Post.
If he's perceiving elite anxiety, one can only say: finally.
"What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass." So snarked Queen Victoria's first prime minister, Lord Melbourne.
He might have been talking about the euro. Or the securitization of the U.S. mortgage market. Or the British government's attempt to restore prosperity through budget austerity. Or. Or. Or. Over the past decade and a half, we've seen one horrendous economic decision after another made, not by voters in democracies, but by people who owed their power to their claims of superior knowledge. Together, they have plunged us into a decade and a half of disasters, culminating in a global financial crisis triggered by new credit instruments that were advertised as ending financial crises once and for all.
Yet by and large, these leaders have escaped public accountability or even criticism over the past six years of global crisis. The people who designed the euro continue to run the European Central Bank. The people who wrecked the American banking system walked away with multimillion-dollar severance packages. We all know that life's not fair. But this unfair?
So it's welcome news that the Davos attenders are suddenly feeling "vulnerable." They ought to. Elected leaders can at least be removed by the voters. Not so central bankers, financial regulators, and investment bankers, even though they can (and often do) exercise more power than any elected official.
Bremmer appears to suggest that the correct response to elite vulnerability is more transparency. I don't think that's quite right. If banks and regulators were delivering good results, nobody would mind their opaqueness. It's the bad results that drive the demand for transparency. But that's not because we really want more transparency.

Season 12 American Idol Review (Winner Announced!) + Top 20 Most Memorable Performances of the Season
…and that winner would be…
This is my third year writing American Idol recaps and, for the first time, I finally get to write "The right person won."
The right person won.
There was a time when Kree was my favorite. There was even a week where I put Amber in my #1 spot (before she sort of floundered). But Candice has always been the rock of this season. She's the most consistent. She has the strongest voice. She chose the best songs with the most variety. This year we were lucky to have a very strong top 5…but, despite that, Candice usually rose to the top. That is why, when I reveal my top 20 towards the end of the post, you'll see she takes up nearly half the slots. She has been that good.
I haven't been this satisfied and pleased with a winner since season 7. Dats da troof.
However, I should say some nice things to Kree. I meant what I said last week: I would have been happy if Kree had won. She has been a calm, consistent presence throughout the competition. Her spirit is full. Her demeanor is relaxed. She has a great, humble personality. (I found it really endearing that she allowed Candice to go last during the performance show.) If she sticks with country, I believe she'll do just fine. Actually, I hope all the finalists find some sort of success or happiness from being on this show. It's weird…I didn't think this top 10 got along very well in the beginning of the live shows. But seeing them be so supportive towards Candice and Kree these last couple of weeks has been darn right inspiring. Despite all the negative press, these tykes seem to be having the time of their lives (more on that later). So…go them!
This season has been interesting. Despite it's relatively low ratings, it's gotten a lot of buzz and has been the ridicule discussion of every entertainment site. I honestly don't hate this season as much as the rest of world does. Maybe I'm just happy that we got a female winner. I dunno…but I honestly didn't dislike this season. I watched every episode. I anticipated every performance show. Clearly, I enjoyed the show…or else I wouldn't be watching it. However, I DO think this show needs a major makeover for next season. Better theme weeks. More helpful mentoring. A new judging panel (maybe keep Keith, but definitely get rid of Mariah). I'd even limit the voting and shorten the results shows but…I know FOX would never do that in million years.
This show has bounced from slumps before. Season 9 still remains my least favorite season…but season 10 and 11 were comparatively better. I have faith in this show. It's still a high rated show (technically). If TPTB want to continue this show…then I let them. But they need to work hard…or else their ratings will fall even lower. But I faith in this show. I certainly still like it more than the other singing competition shows (Sorry, Voice fans!)
But, enough about that…let's discuss some of my favorite moments from the finale…
1. THE HUMOR - It was weird, and almost a little cringe worthy…but I appreciate that the show was willing to take such jabs against itself. I liked the skit about the girls sabotaging the guys so they would be eliminated one by one (the show's thinly veiled way of admitting that they manipulated things so a girl would win, maybe?) And I liked the skit where the contestants made fun of the judges (particularly Nicki and Randy). I dunno…I laughed. It was funny. Kill me. The one part was a little too much was the "The Voice" diss. I dunno…a LOT of AI viewers LOVE The Voice. I'm not sure if they would appreciate that joke, much.
2. MARIAH - Yeah, she's still got it. I adored her little medley. Just her, on stage, in a sparkly gown, singing her hits. That's all we ask from her (literally),
3. AMBER and EMELIE - "Next To Me" is still stuck in my head. They both sounded great together.
4. CANDICE and JENNIFA HUDSON - That's right. "Jennifa." Those harmonies were sick.
5. ANGIE and FRIENDS - Those friends being Adam Lambert and Jessie J. Quelle sick!
6. KREE and JUDGES - Kree sounded really awesome next to Keith and…Randy. I always forget that Randy is actually a talented bassist. Maybe he should go back to doing that…
7. JENNIFER LOPEZ and PITBULL - What can I say? Her dance moves slay me.
And of course, the best moment was seeing Candice reprise her coronation song "I Am Beautiful" to a crazy load of confetti. Awes!
But, seriously, I definitely got choked up seeing Candice's dreams come true. I've been following her on Youtube for the last year, hoping that one day she would get the success she deserves…I'm glad she got it.
Before I FINALLY list my top 20…I should talk about Randy a little. Even though I truly believe this is the right time for him to leave (and for the show to get rid of him), I will miss Randy. I don't think he was completely useless. During the first 7 seasons with the original trio of judges, sometimes he was a nice mediator between the loopy/too nice Paula and the sometimes overly critical Simon. He was a necessary member of the panel and I'm glad he was there. Yeah, Randy wasn't the most articulate judge on television…
Anyway…let's close this. Here are my 20 favorite performances from the season.
20. Janelle Arthur "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" (top 6) – A breezy, fun performance that showed Janelle's personality well.
19. Devin Velez "It's Impossible" (semis) – A performance that PROVES he has a beautiful voice.
18. Kree Harrison "Piece of My Heart" (top 7) – Sometimes you can show some real grit in a performance while you're in pain.
17. Burnell Taylor "I'm Here" (semis) – Best male solo performance of the season.
16. Candice Glover "Ordinary People" (semis) – A solid, clean performance that propelled her to front runner status.
15. Angie Miller "Try" (top 3) – I was totally fist pumping during this one.
14. Candice Glover "I Am Beautiful" (top 2) – A great "FU" for anyone who has ever told her she wasn't "commercial" enough (or some BS like that).
13. Candice Glover "I Who Have Nothing" (top 2) – The acapella beginning gave me chills.
12. Candice Glover "Satisfaction" (top 7) – One of the moments of the season where she really rocked out.
11, Kree Harrison "What the World Needs Now…" (top 6) – A beautiful, contemporary rearrangement that fit her voice perfectly.
10. Janelle Arthur "Dumb Blonde" (top 5) – If only more contestants this season took more risks like this. Task: listen to the Dolly Parton version…and then listen to Janelle's interpretation. Exactly.
9. Candice Glover "Straight Up" (top 5) – Bububububye.
8. Amber Holcomb "Love On Top" (top 6) – A bubbly, infectious performance that gave us a glimpse at how current she could be.
7. Janelle Arthur "You Keep Me Hanging On" (top 8) – One of the best interpretations of any song this season.
6. Candice Glover "Don't Make Me Over" (top 6) – TAKE ME FOR WHAT I AM! Seriously. Gawl. (I liked this performance more than "Love song.")
5. Candice and Burnell "The Letter" (top 7) – Harmonies were sick. Probably Burnell's finest moment. At least he left the show on a good note.
4. Candice, Angie, Amber "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" (top 8) – Sassy performance from my three favorite contestants this season.
3. Amber Holcomb "She's Leaving Home" (top 9) – If Amber had taken more risks like this, maybe she would have made it longer on the show…
2. Angie Miller "Who You Are" (top 4) – An electric performance that was needed in an otherwise disappointing performance night.
1. Candice Glover "Come Together" (top 9) – Beatles Night was probably my favorite episode this season…This performance is just so much fun and so different from what Candice usually gave us. I knew if Candice could conquer this song, she could conquer anything.
Well…thanks for following me this season. I had a lot of rants but…I still enjoyed recapping the show. Let's see what next year will bring.
Also…please PLEASE PLEASE support your favorite contestants after this season. Whether your favorite was Candice or even Lazaro…please SUPPORT them. We take "who wins" too seriously nowadays. What matters is the success after the show (just ask Daughtry). So seriously…support them (and, if you haven't already, buy Jessica Sanchez's new album…it should be doing better!)
Bye! Next up… EMMY TALK! Stay tuned for that.

Removed temporarily from its place of honor in Milestones of Flight, the 1903 Wright Flyer, the world's first successful airplane, serves as the centerpiece of this exhibition, which celebrates the centennial of the Wright brothers' historic flights. For the first time, the airplane is being displayed on the floor, so you can get a close-up, eye-level look at the historic craft that ushered in the age of flight.The first part of this exhibition tells the story of how Wilbur and Orville Wright invented the airplane—who they were, how they worked, and what they accomplished. The second part shows how their monumental achievement affected the world in the decade that followed, when people everywhere became fascinated with flight. The exhibition includes many historic photographs and cultural artifacts, along with instruments and personal items associated with the Wrights.
This exhibition is on view in Gallery 209
This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of Alcoa and others.
The 1903 Wright Flyer made four flights at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903, the best covering 852 feet in 59 seconds. It was the first heavier-than-air, powered aircraft to make a sustained, controlled flight with a pilot aboard.
The Wrights used their proven canard biplane configuration which was rooted in their initial 1899 kite design. Key to the Flyer's success was its three-axis control system, which featured wing-warping for lateral balance, a moveable rudder, and an elevator for pitch control. The right wing was four inches longer than the left to compensate for the engine being heavier than and mounted to the right of the pilot. The wings were rigged with a slight droop to reduce the effects of crosswinds.Gift of the Estate of Orville Wright
Compared to their previous gliders, the Wrights' 1902 glider had a much thinner airfoil and longer and narrower wings, which their wind tunnel tests had shown to be more efficient. To improve lateral control, they added a fixed vertical rudder to the rear of the glider. They retained the reliable forward elevator for pitch control but made it elliptical in shape.
The 1900 glider was the Wrights' first piloted aircraft. First flight-tested at Kitty Hawk in the fall of that year, it incorporated the wire-braced biplane structure and wing-warping control system they developed with their 1899 kite.
The Wrights combined their wing-warping control concept and the structural design of the Chanute-Herring glider in their first aircraft, a biplane kite with a 5-foot wingspan, built in July 1899.
Only five bicycles manufactured by the Wright brothers are known to exist. This one, a model they called the St. Clair, was built in 1898. Less expensive than the Van Cleve, the St. Clair sold for $42.50.Lent by the Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, Mich.

The former candidate for Oconee County sheriff accused of trying to arrange the kidnapping of a retired judge has filed a lawsuit accusing an informant of setting up his arrest.
James Bartee, a retired U.S. Secret Service agent, was one of four candidates for Oconee County sheriff.
He was charged with solicitation to commit a felony in May.
Bartee is accused of trying to arrange to have retired circuit Judge James C. Williams Jr. kidnapped.
Solicitor Chrissy Adams said evidence was captured on audio surveillance, and Bartee gave a person money to buy items needed for the kidnapping.
Bartee is accused of trying to arrange the kidnapping after Williams filed an action asking for a judgment on whether Bartee was qualified to run for sheriff. The action also asked for an injunction against creating ballots with Bartee listed as a candidate.
Williams' filing claimed that Bartee was ineligible to run for sheriff because he was never a certified law enforcement officer under state law.
The decision on Bartee's candidacy was to be made by Judge Cordell Maddox.
Bartee was to compete in the June 12 Republican primary, along with current Oconee County Chief Deputy Terry Wilson and former sheriff's captains Donnie Fricks and Mike Crenshaw.
Bartee withdrew from the race before the primary.

Mercy Health and Recreation Center to provide fitness service for area (with video)
AMHERST — When it opens Feb. 1, the Mercy Health and Recreation Center will be a unique, all-inclusive facility for residents young and old, said Jim Ziemnik, director of Lorain County Metro Parks.
Featuring a competition-size pool, a therapy pool, aerobic rooms, indoor track, seminar rooms, weight areas and an inclusive playground for those with special needs, the recreation center offers something for everyone.
"Having an inclusive facility lets people enjoy their time and not feel different," Ziemnik said.
The 50,000 square foot facility at 47160 Hollstein Drive, off of I-90 and Oak Point Road, is a joint project between Lorain County Metro Parks and the Mercy health system. A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place opening day on Feb. 1 at 10 a.m.
Before then, Ziemnik said, open house days for the public will take place in January.
Admission to the center will cost $7 a day. Also, membership options for the health and recreation center start at $33.33 a month and are now available at the Carlisle Visitor Center, 12882 Diagonal Road in LaGrange or at Splash Zone in Oberlin. Further information is available by calling 458-5121 or by visiting bit.ly/QyzcV3.
"Metro Parks actually owns the building and Mercy leases the upstairs portion for physical and occupational therapy," Ziemnik said.
The partnership came after 7 acres valued at $ 2 million was donated to the Metro Parks in 2007.
"The land was donated by Tom and Jim Hollstein," Ziemnik said. "Mercy had interest to expand service in the area. Everything came together at the right time. About $5 million in funds were donated for the $7 million project."
Ziemnik said the facility was built because there is a need for recreational services in the area. Continued...
"There wasn't anything around that could cater to everyone," Ziemnik said. "Splash Zone has had a great response, but we wanted to use what we've learned and apply it here."
One of the facility's highlights is a reserved area for adults and children with special needs and an inclusive playground. A "quiet room" with lights and sensory sounds is also attached to the area.
According to the Mercy Health and Recreation Center's website, the inclusive playground, expected to open in the summer of 2013, will offer a place for children of all ages and abilities to play.
"We worked with an advisory group at the Murray Ridge Center to see what kind of facilities they wanted," Ziemnik said. "Everything at the playground is accessible to anyone."
Mercy Health and Recreation Center brings eight full-time jobs to the area, Ziemnik said.
Jennifer Bracken, assistant director for Lorain County Metro Parks, said members who contribute $5,000 receive a three-year membership and access to premium locker rooms.
"There's a certain level of exclusivity to these locker rooms; they have key code access." Bracken said. "They come with upgraded amenities, steam showers, sauna and lounge areas."

fred&frank is a winner for any mum and their kids. The clothes are made like any Euro luxury brand but without the price tag. Their designs are functional and made with kids in mind, not mini adults!
Excellent in every category... Since online shopping is growing so much here in Australia and around the world, these guys have got it sorted. My package arrived the next day on express post. It was wrapped beautifully and thats just the delivery. fredandfrank clothes are functional and affordable for me and my family. Connie
We love our Fred&Frank kids clothes...they are great looking and wear really well. Plus our kids love "looking cool" especially when they receive so many great compliments about their clothes.
My little Maxi loves wearing these clothes - comfort factor 5 out of 5, quality is 5 out of 5 but the best part is the price point for clothing so cool!
Love the unique clothing range that stands out from the rest. Practical clothing with a point of difference and very affordable prices. Good on you Fred&frank.

I returned a laptop less than a year old for repair. The repair technician claimed the laptop was returned damaged. The service rep said it was either dropped, pierced or had something spilled on it. I would like to attest that none of the above was true. I received the computer from the employee I personally inspected and tested the computer. I tested it to be certain the RAM cards were not broken, and that the power cord or battery was not the problem. I then packed it up about three weeks ago and sent it to Dell (in the prepaid Dell box) fully expecting to have it back and in operation in about 10 days. But what ensued were about ten phone calls varying in length from five minutes to about 45 minutes (one at 5:30 AM) with a variety of service reps whose favorite line was "I understand how you are feeling". They seem all like decent people but it appeared no one was communicating with each other because I got the same story every time. "It's not covered by warranty because the computer was dropped." This is what has been finally landed on after first not knowing initially if it was result of a spill or the casing pierced or it was dropped. Again it was not dropped spilled on or pierced. On principle I could not say it was when it was not. Persistently I kept up the communication and finally spoke with a Dell rep in the Philippines. After being on hold for ten minutes, hHe said it would be repaired and returned. When I hung up we had a minor celebration at the office but when it was returned it was not repaired but it was damaged. The hinge was now cracked and Dell now insists that's the way we shipped it. Finally the escalation rep agreed to check with DEPOT (whatever that is) to find out if it was damaged in transit. Its hard for me to expect a favorable outcome.So beware I would not wish this experience on my worst enemy! So my idea is to treat the cust0mer with respect. The worst things you can do to any one is to ignore and stonewall them.So my idea is to treat the cutomer respectlfully by being responsive. Get rid of the on hold quagmire. Work on defragmenting your internal communication and enpower your reps to be able to make decisions. Lastly try to remember not everyone lives in the central time zone.

HARTFORD — The topic was school security, but the main solution for many of those testifying was the hiring of social workers and psychologists over police and physical enhancements to buildings.
Officials and the public came to the Legislative Office Building Friday to talk to lawmakers on the first meeting of the bipartisan task force appointed to suggest ways to help school security, prevent gun violence and open up mental health access in response to the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
The slaughter of 20 first-graders and six staff members at the school by Adam Lanza with a semiautomatic .223 caliber Bushmaster rifle Dec. 14 has spurred state and federal legislative debate on gun control.
The first working group of the Bipartisan Task Force on Gun Violence Prevention and Children's Safety held a daylong hearing Friday.
It was charged with school safety, while the one at 10 a.m. Monday at the LOB will look at gun control; the mental health access group will hear testimony at 10 a.m. Tuesday, also at the LOB. The entire task force also will hear testimony at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Newtown High School.
The use of trained school resource officers got positive feedback from many who testified, but when asked to choose between them and adding school social workers, counselors and psychologists, the mental health workers were the professionals of choice.
There were, however, many suggestions on how to make school buildings safer with processes put in place to ensure communication among law enforcement, staff and students with different models for kindergarten to grade 12 schools and colleges.
It was all a matter of balance however, with a statement by Stefan Pryor, the state's education commissioner, reflecting that idea.
"Even as we fortify our schools, we must not turn them into fortresses," Pryor said. He said the school environment should be "warm and inviting, even as it is safe and secure."
The official police report on Lanza will not be ready until June and information on his mental state is not known, but state Rep. Mitch Bolinsky, R-Newtown, said, "Mr. Lanza was not a secret. There were many people who knew of him as a threat" and still he was allowed to do the "unspeakable." Continued...
The state representative did not elaborate, but said there are limited funds for mental health workers and counselors. He said the need to protect someone's privacy and the "administrative challenges of IDing them" has left "young men with violent tendencies among us."
Barbara O'Connor, the University of Connecticut police chief, said after the killing of 32 students and staff members at Virginia Tech in 2007 by a student with mental health issues, many universities, including UConn, focused on "behavior, not profiling" where people can bring their concerns about individuals to a team of trained counselors and law enforcement for review.
She said the use of Behavioral Intervention Teams "has probably saved lives."
As for those familiar with Lanza, "imagine if folks knew where they could report that information," she said.
Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, who also is the chairman of the school safety and security committee of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, suggested another tier of security personnel, less costly than a police officer, but properly trained, to help with school security.
Boughton said he wasn't arguing in favor of or against school resource officers, just pointing out the cost and long training period before they are ready to be employed.
Boughton told task force members that a police presence is what parents tell him they want.
"School security measures cannot be done on the cheap. It will require significant state financial administrative assistance. State officials should be keenly aware of this when considering improvements to our local schools," he said.
Asked to choose between school resource officers or more mental health counselors, Boughton picked mental health professionals, who he said are "critically important" with intervention needed at all levels, but particularly early on in a child's school career.
State Senate Pro Temp Donald Williams, D-Brooklyn, said the small number of social workers, counselors and school psychologists "are severely overburdened" at most schools. Continued...
He suggested appointment of a dean of students who could address discipline problems.
South Windsor Police Chief Matthew Reed advised the task force to explore use of armed guards at schools "with great caution" as they are not trained like police, particularly in the protocol of actively confronting a threat such as Lanza.
Reed, who is the legislative liaison for the Connecticut Police Chief's Association, had some specific suggestions on security, such as video surveillance, panic alarms, identification badges and a single entry area.
Gerald Stomski said schools should have containment areas where visitors are stopped until allowed to enter.
Tom Brant, vice president of the Connecticut Association of School Psychologists, said the ratio of social workers to students is 1 to 400; it's 1 to 250 for counselors.
Brant, who works in Newtown, said not only are these ratios too large, but a major problem is where do you refer children once you identify those with problems given lack of community services.
Mark Waxenberg, executive director of the Connecticut Education Association, said the Newtown shootings were a "tipping point" in galvanizing teachers.
He suggested forming School Safety Committees in each school with the legislature providing models that schools could review. He backed tougher gun laws, anti-bullying programs and funds to hire counselors, social workers and psychologists.
While the panel was told of the benefits of school resources officers, Lara Herscovitch, of the Connecticut Juvenile Justice Alliance, warned that in some schools, police were arresting students for what she termed "typical adolescent behavior" such as talking back, smoking, dress code violations and schoolyard fights.
She said this prompted the Judicial Branch Court Support Services Division to advise police chiefs that it will return court referrals for minor offenses. Continued...
"When schools turn to police officers to handle student discipline, these same misbehaviors end up referred to court as 'disorderly conduct,' 'breach of peace' and 'assault,'" she said.
Herscovitch promised to give the panel the specific instances she was talking about.
