PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet from Fight for the Future on Vimeo.
Yikes you guys, have you read about SOPA and PIPA yet? In protest again SOPA, and instead of blacking out my blog for the day, I'm posting this video and giving you these links to learn more. Noticed how Wikipedia, Google, Reddit, Mozilla, Wordpress, I Can Has Cheeseburger, Twitpic, Wired, Greenpeace, Vimeo, and many more major websites are protesting against SOPA? Have you thought about how SOPA could effect your blog personally for that one random time you forgot to credit that one photo you like, or that time you made a video of you singing a song you love, or when you added in a song in the background of a tutorial you made for your blog? Have you thought about how SOPA could really hurt the blogging community as a whole, how it could effect those of us who rely HEAVILY on Social Media sites to keep our businesses running? I'm freaked out about SOPA and PIPA. Click on any of the links above to find a petition to sign against SOPA, to email or tweet your congressmen and women, to support the freedom you currently have in blogging, posting on twitter, facebook, vimeo, youtube, the freedom you have in editing Wikipedia pages, and more. Ps, at O'Reilly.com they are having a free livestream of experts all day discussing ways to "improve your power in Washington from people who've been successful at moving it."
Also, here is a letter from some musicians, artists, and creators you may know who are standing against PIPA and SOPA.
For those of you who have started your business thanks to the internet, Etsy sellers, Professional Bloggers, and those of you who hope to start a small business, watch this.

SOPA/PIPA is scary stuff! My blog is blacked out right now, I forgot to turn it on this morning, so did it around lunch time. I'll keep my little ribbon up after for a while too!

I'm so glad you posted this! I was expecting to see a TON of info about SOPA/PIPA in the blogging community today, and I've honestly been more than a little disappointed that I haven't, although its ALL OVER Twitter and Facebook. My own site is "blacked out" today (I downloaded a Wordpress plugin that puts up information about SOPA and links to more information), and is scheduled to be blacked out again on the 24th, when Congress votes on it.
This is incredibly important, scary stuff. Do we really want to give a few people the power to decide what can and can't be on the internet? That's getting a little too 1984 for my liking. A couple of SOPA supporters have already backed down because of the huge internet backlash. You CAN and DO have a voice...use it!

Good to see other bloggers posting about this too! I'm in Australia, but I'm sure that if those bills get passed, we will be following close behind!!

I'm glad that some bloggers are aware of how damaging it could be to our community. I've sent multiple letters to my representatives and congress informing them that this is NOT something that the American public wants. Hopefully more people do the same and it doesn't get voted in!

totally, it's such a rippling effect when one major country chooses to make such insane changes like enforcing SOPA. I hope it doesnt pass, not just for americans but for any other countries that have potential to add it into their law as well.

Had a look at the piece. It looks like Vasart but I have never seen this shape before, I recognise the colours as Vasart but I dont recognise the shape. Maybe it was a one off. They did make two piece lamps in this colour they looked quite good. This piece could be a base if there is a hole in the base. Will make further enquiries.

Saw: The Final Chapter (US - BD RA)
Gabe starts taking odds and bets on when the next chapter will be released...
The Saw series, love it or hate it, will have a place in the greater horror film pantheon. The first few films were so profitable, they pulled upstart major minor Lionsgate from the guys that inherited Carolco's video library, and placed them on a somewhat even level with the major majors. The first film, along with Eli Roth's Hostel (a genuinely good film), started a next wave of ultra violent horror films, which were dubbed 'Torture Porn' by the media. Quality isn't always an indicator of popularity and influence, and the Saw movies prove this. So I say again, love it or hate it, this series had its impact, and will likely be rediscovered over the years by new generations of horror fans. Lionsgate managed to produce seven of these films in only seven years, and both the quality, and to a lesser extent box office returns, have been depleting at an alarming rate since the third entry.
This brings is to the series' seventh and 'final' film itself – Saw VII: The Final Chapter. Even people that don't watch horror films know that the 'final chapter' is never the last film in a popular series. Hell, Jason Voorhees starred in five more movies (six if you count a dream cameo in Friday the 13th Part 5) after his 'final chapter', so the promise of a wrap-up doesn't hold a lot of water, and the novelty is wasted right off the bat. This leaves the franchise holders with two options: more outrageous and gory traps, and/or the latest gimmick de jure, digital 3D. They went for broke and utilized both options. The Final Chapter (dubbed Saw 3D for the theatrical release) apparently had more problems with the MPAA than the other entries, and though I suppose the quantity of gore is higher here (nothing at all is left to the imagination this time), the frequency of the violence is a bit softer, and the overall tone isn't as brutal as the other films. I winced a couple of times, but frankly I've been more disturbed by episodes of Tom and Jerry. Editor turned director Kevin Greutert aims beyond the cartoonish by utilizing comic book inspired colours, allowing his actors ham it up to bologna levels, and unabashedly popping stuff out of the screen at his audience. This is a silly movie, even by franchise standards, but the silliness actually sets this episode slightly ahead of the last three episodes.
But it's still not a very good movie. The script is slightly more thoughtful than average (or so I assume, I never bothered to see the sixth film, which may have been an utter masterwork, I suppose), but it still boils down to a convoluted series of connections to the previous plots, divided by a series of story stopping gory set pieces. Without the time-consuming trap scenes, this particular storyline would struggle to fill even 30 minutes of screen time. Since the original villain died, series writers appear to have given up on bringing anything new to the 'pantheon'. They're also stuck with a much less interesting antagonist (Jigsaw had an intriguing enough code, replacement Hoffman just kills people he doesn't like), making each successive film more dependent on its protagonists. Saw VII takes cues from Saw III by putting the main protagonist in the role of savior, but ultimately fails due to familiarity, and the fact that this particular 'hero' has no moral dilemma (the third film is ultimately praise-worthy for giving the protagonist every reason to not save other characters from their traps). There's also an utter lack of suspense since we all know the filmmakers aren't going to set up a trap without using it.
Visually speaking Saw VII is like a parody of the other films in the series. Each location has its own palette and focus level, and the overall look is much softer and much brighter than any of the other films in the series. The film was shot using digital 3D cameras, so all that expressive film grain that has been a trademark of these movies is entirely gone, replaced occasionally by slight digital noise. The purposefully fuzzy flashbacks aren't particularly high in detail, but the rest of the film is more or less plain as day, brightly lit, and swimming in fine details. The colour quality is interesting. In some scenes look kind of like colourized black and white film. Everyone's skin tone is the same overly warm hue, and spots of colour pop against an otherwise drab background palette. The blood here is very pink and watery. I can only assume this either looks better in 3D, or that pink blood gets you an R-rating over an NC-17. This isn't a problem for the transfer, but the transfer's utter clarity does make the pink blood stand out as quite unrealistic. My problem with these scenes is the lack of deep blacks. Other scenes are grittier, and gelled in sickly greens, more in keeping with the other films, and these feature awesomely rich blacks. I'm a little suspicious of the head room throughout the transfer, but didn't see the film in theaters, and can't be sure that things aren't slightly zoomed.
The Saw films have always been aurally busy, and the video releases have always been impressive, even in the days before uncompressed home audio. This DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 track is no exception to the rule, to the point that it may be the most aggressive soundtrack I've heard from the franchise. Directional effects are wacky, even entirely abstract. The ickier sound effects are pushed beyond everything else on the track, making the sound of tearing flesh deafening over booming music, buzzing buzz saws, whirring gears, clanging metal and smashing glass. The LFE gives a proper boost to the score and all the impact effects, especially bellowing fire. The relentless musical score is featured almost entirely in the stereo and surround channels, creating two consistent walls of noise on either side of the viewer's head. The music also features a lot more directional enhancement than most theatrical scores, making for a pretty immersive experience.
The extras begin with two audio commentaries. The first track features producers Gregg Hoffman, Oren Koules and Mark Burg, and is pretty chock full of information. This is the more technical track, including an explanation of the brighter lighting and pinker blood, both of which are ideal for the 3D format. The second track features writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, and features a lot of the same facts, but a lot more honest and candid. Personally I'd recommend going straight to this track, then listening to the other track out of boredom in the future. Here we learn that Saw: The Final Chapter was intended as two films, but when the sixth film didn't make a lot of money the word came down from on high that the two scripts would be crammed into one 90 minute movie. Melton and Dunstan describe much of the deleted stuff, which explains some of the more awkward plot points.
The rest of the extras include six deleted/extended scenes (13:50, HD), three music videos, '52 Ways to Die' (14:20, HD), a look at the series' traps, and trailers. It's interesting to note that the deleted scenes often feature a noticeably darker image quality, and a warmer overall palette, which lends credence to the theory of the lighter palette not being the filmmakers' first choice. It's also interesting to note that the traps are presented in all their gory glory, but nude breasts have been censored with blur. What the hell?
I'm guessing Lionsgate goes a full three years before reintroducing the series. The mind bogglingly dumb twist stuck on the end of this 'final chapter' is very obviously a set up for an eighth film, and I can't imagine a more recession proof way for a studio to make a couple bucks, especially if they continue to keep the price tag of each sequel relatively low. I'd like to complain about the nonsense ending more, but that would constitute spoilers, so I encourage readers to experience it for themselves. This 2D Blu-ray release looks very impressive, if not a little out of the norm for the series, and the 7.1 DTS-HD audio is awesome, so fans should be happy with it…until Lionsgate releases the inevitable 10th anniversary edition of the series, or whatever.

This was easily the worst of the series and probably one of the worst movies ive seen.
God this movie is an abomination. easily one of the worst SAW movies ever and easily a horrible movie in it's own right. the BRIGHT(!!) strawberry pink colored blood to the cringe-worthy "3D" (which was practically non-existent and just a scam to charge higher ticket prices) was just an insult to SAW fans and moviegoers alike. i loved SAW 1-3 and part 6 but this one made it so that i'll never waste my time or $ on seeing another SAW movie (that you KNOW is coming) again. i tried to re-watch this just last night and could only make it through the 1st 15 minutes. just abysmal.
and Gabe, i don't blame you for being apprehensive after the debacles that were SAW 4 and 5 but 6 really IS a big improvement over those!! i hope and don't think you'll be disappointed. but it's a kick in the teeth to have such an improvement with 6 only to have SAW "3D" c**p all over the fans. clearly a uninspired money grab.

I saw the first 4 movies in theater and honestly, I don't blame anyone not wanting to see any more after the fourth movie which is horrible. I rented the 5th which just reinforced that I shouldn't pay for these movies.
I was eventually convinced to rent (for really cheap) the 6th movie which I found surprisingly good!! So good that I went to see the Final movie in theaters which reinforced my initial belief that I should rent these movies.
Sorry Saw but you should've stopped at 2, maybe 3 movies (I stopped buying the DVDs after 3).

I'll admit those numbers speak volumes.
I sort of hate people who pull critics into a discussion about film quality, but this backs me up, so I'm going to be a hypocrite and do it.
Saw - 48%
Saw II - 35%
Saw III - 25%
Saw IV - 17%
Saw V - 13%
Saw VI - 40%
Saw 3D - 11%
Yes, I looked all of them up. Yes, you can laugh at my life.

Well, six is on the Netflix instant. Maybe I'll have time one of these days to watch it. You'll have to excuse me if the memories of 4 and 5 make me hesitant to believe you though.
I hated 4 but 5 was a step better. I think either way this series needs to end and I didn't want the ending they gave this movie to be it. I won't spoil it but I expected different things for a returning character. I. Sorry I missed the digital copy info, it's just. I notice a lot of times they go ignored. I too think the 4 th and 5 th ones are the worst tho.
They are very dreadful movies. But until that comment, I thought you were tossing VI in with them, which I wasn't understandin' at all. It's easily, *easily* the best movie of the back half of the series.
Saw 4 and 5 were dreadful movies. Do you get it now? I do apologize for the wrong name on the commentary track, I must have missed who the third participant was.
And Matt, the Digital copy and DVD are mentioned in the extras section on the right. The deleted scenes don't add anything to the story. If you really care it's worth a rent for the writers' commentary.

i'm surprised at the lack of extras and lack of depth to them considering this is the "final" movie and all. consisdering a movie like Scott Pilgrim which was a huge flop got a kick ass disc with almost 5hrs worth of extras, i'm surprised how little they tried.
maybe its because there's an inevitable "complete series" collection coming loaded up but yeah, if i was a fan i'd be pretty annoyed.

I want to know more about the deleted scenes, it would save me having to rent this again. Also this is supposed to include a DVD and digital copy, no mention was made on here.
I didn't get the all of the barbs at the last few sequels until you mentioned you skipped Saw VI, which is easily the best sequel since III. And a heckuva lot better than Saw 3D.
Oh, and Gregg Hoffman's not on the commentary track, because he died in 2005.

CAMBRIDGE, UK – Oct. 21, 2009 – ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMH)] today announces the launch of the ARM® Cortex™-A5 MPCore™ processor, the smallest, lowest power ARM multicore processor capable of delivering the Internet to the widest possible range of devices, from ultra low cost handsets, feature phones and smart mobile devices, to pervasive embedded, consumer and industrial devices. Available as an extremely area- and power-efficient uniprocessor or up to a 4x multicore processor, the Cortex-A5 processor unleashes the outstanding performance and power scalability required for the compelling usage scenarios demanded by each of these markets. This extraordinary combination of performance, functionality, and efficiency reinforces ARM's clear leadership position in the highest-value and highest-volume application segments.
The Cortex-A5 uniprocessor provides a high-value migration path for the large number of existing ARM926EJ-S™ and ARM1176JZ-S™ processor licensees. By delivering better performance than the ARM1176JZ-S processor within the raw power and silicon area footprint of the ARM926EJ-S processor, the Cortex-A5 uniprocessor offers nearly twice the power-efficiency relative to these earlier and extremely popular predecessors. This increases the quality of the user experience while reducing costs and end-user device size.
This performance is further enhanced by the Cortex-A5 multicore processor which utilizes the successful ARM MPCore technology. The widely-adopted ARM MPCore technology increases performance scalability and control over power consumption to exceed the performance of today's comparable high-performance devices while remaining within the tight mobile power constraints. To date ARM MPCore processors have been licensed by more than 15 leading semiconductor companies including Broadcom Corporation, NEC Electronics (Europe) GmbH, NVIDIA, Renesas Technology America, Inc., Toshiba America Electronic Components and Sarnoff Corporation, and have been implemented in numerous applications on the market today. This technology greatly expands the addressable application spectrum while enabling new and more efficient modes of operation.
The Cortex-A5 processor includes TrustZone® security technology along with a NEON™ multimedia processing engine first introduced with the Cortex-A8 processor. NEON technology is a 128-bit SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) architecture extension for the Cortex-A series processors, providing flexible and compelling acceleration for intensive multimedia applications.
The Cortex-A5 processor is fully application compatible with the Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 processors. This enables immediate access to an established developer and software ecosystem including Android, Adobe Flash, Java Platform Standard Edition (Java SE), JavaFX, Linux, Microsoft Windows Embedded, Symbian and Ubuntu, along with more than 600 ARM Connected Community™ members.
Speaking at the 18th World Wide Web conference earlier this year, Google's vice president and chief internet evangelist and one of the founders of the internet, Vinton "Vint" Cerf predicted: "More people in the world will have their first interaction with the internet with mobile than with laptop." He continued: "We will have more internet, larger numbers of users, more mobile access, more speed, more things online and more appliances we can control over the internet."
"The Cortex-A5 processor signals a significant acceleration in the future of internet connectivity," said Eric Schorn, vice president of marketing, Processor Division, ARM. "Internet accessibility has long been a critical social opportunity and with the launch of the Cortex-A5 processor we are providing the pervasive internet with unprecedented power-efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The Cortex-A5 processor scales from ultra low cost handsets and lifestyle internet devices all the way to consumer, embedded, and industrial devices - anything that can be connected to the internet. We are truly delivering the internet everywhere."
"The launch of the Cortex-A5 processor reinforces ARM's leadership in innovation and technology, and sets a new standard for cost-effectiveness and power-efficiency in entry-level mobile devices," said Nathan Brookwood, research fellow at Insight 64. "The performance of the Cortex-A5 processor, when combined with Adobe's recently-announced support for Cortex-A profile processors in Flash Player 10.1, will allow users of ARM processor-based systems to view the same internet video content previously accessible only to users of x86-based systems."
The processor has been licensed by numerous ARM Partners including Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, a global leader in semiconductor, telecommunication, digital media and digital convergence technologies.
"Samsung has enjoyed a strong partnership with ARM and has achieved considerable success utilizing ARM CPU cores in many of our industry leading System-On-Chip (SOC) products," said Yiwan Wong, Vice president, Strategic Marketing Team, System LSI Division, Samsung Electronics. "This new Cortex-A5 processor from ARM will allow us to further broaden the range of SOC products we can offer to our customers to address the needs of the expanding mobile device market space."
Supporting Technology
The Cortex-A5 processor incorporates, and is supported by, a broad range of ARM technology to provide ARM Partners with a smooth path through the development, verification and production of full function, compelling devices while significantly reducing time-to-market.
The new processor is supported by the immediate availability of a High Performance Optimization Package of physical IP to enable leadership implementations in a 40nm process. This optimization package comprises ARM low leakage, high performance logic libraries featuring multi-channel design along with optimized memory instances engineered specifically for the Cortex-A5 processor architecture. The optimized package is available initially for the TSMC 40LP process and further performance benefits can be achieved through the use of multi-Vt and overdrive implementation techniques.
The ARM AMBA® and CoreSight™ system development IP and tools products address the critical challenges of efficiently moving, storing and observing data between cores and memory to optimize the system performance and power consumption of ARM Cortex processor-based SoC designs. The AMBA system development components enable system designers to maximise the utilization of system bandwidth, reduce latency and cut time to market of high-performance SoC designs, while the ARM CoreSight technology provides complete on-chip debug and real-time trace visibility, reducing risk and speeding development of high quality system software.
For systems that demand high-quality graphics and video processing the extremely power- and area-efficient Mali™ Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Mali-VE Video Engines provide ideal solutions. The Cortex-A5 processor when combined with the Mali-200, Mali-400MP GPUs and the Mali-VE3, Mali-VE6 Video Engines ensure highly efficient and flexible designs that scale with requirements to deliver the rich multimedia user experience necessary for success in the highly competitive market for consumer products.
ARM also provides a complete range of complementary software tools to enable software development, optimization and test ahead of silicon availability, significantly reducing application time-to-market and ensuring the highest degree of software quality. Tools available at launch include Fast Models, instruction-accurate models ideal for creating, running and optimizing software in simulation, RealView® Development Suite (RVDS) 4.0 Pro, incorporating the best-in-class ARM Compiler and market-leading ARM Profiler, enabling applications to easily achieve both high performance and optimal code size.
In addition, the ARM Active Assist training and on-site system-design advisory service enables licensees to efficiently integrate the Cortex-A5 processor into their design to realize maximum system performance with lowest risk and fastest time-to-market.
Licensing and Availability
The Cortex-A5 processor has multiple lead licensees developing leadership mass-market silicon today, is now available for general licensing, and will be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2009.

"The ARM Cortex-A5 processor is the ideal solution for fast, efficient multicore systems so it is a perfect complement to Mentor's Multi-OS on multicore embedded software solutions," said Glenn Perry, Mentor Graphics embedded systems division general manager. "Customers will benefit from being able to seamlessly run their existing Cortex-A9 processor-based Nucleus RTOS, Linux and Android applications unchanged on this new processor."
"The Cortex-A5 scalable multiprocessor represents an ideal opportunity for developers and OEMs to move to the ARMv7 architecture and to a multicore design," said Kroy Chang-Zeviar, Business Alliance manager, QNX Software Systems. "The QNX Neutrino RTOS provides an SMP-capable, networked and memory-protected real-time operating system that already runs across a variety of ARM Cortex processors."
"The power and performance characteristics of the Cortex-A5 processor enables JavaFX to bring visually compelling user experiences to consumer, commercial, and embedded devices," said Eric Klein, vice president of Java Platform Marketing at Sun Microsystems. "Java's strong multicore support and the Cortex-A5 processor's compatibility with the Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 processors mean that the rich programming and display capabilities of Java SE and JavaFX will be available to developers on these amazing processors."
"The Symbian platform and the ARM Cortex-A5 processor will enable the delivery of advanced, always-on multimedia use cases, while respecting the power and memory constraints of mobile devices," said Shaun Puckrin, head of Community Support, Symbian Foundation. "Symbian and ARM work in close collaboration to deliver high-performance converged mobile devices and our history of collaboration has seen the Symbian platform scale across all ARM processor architectures. The multiprocessor variants of the Cortex-A5 processor will bring even greater performance and power efficiency to internet-enabled mobile devices, through the use of the Symbian platform's class-leading support for Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP)."
"The ARM Cortex-A5 processor takes advantages of the latest design and semiconductor technology advances to enable a true 'Internet Everywhere' experience,'" said John Chilton, senior vice president, marketing & strategic development at Synopsys. "ARM and Synopsys have collaborated extensively to deliver performance and energy optimized design enablement with the Galaxy™ Implementation Platform for ARM processors; by adding support in Synopsys' Lynx Design System for the ARM Cortex-A5 processor and enhanced 40LP physical IP, we will provide designers a complete, optimized production-ready IC development platform for next-generation, internet-enabled devices."

Very good guide, nice and clean looking, easy on the eyes and levels my alchemy.
Please continue writing the guide. Much appreciated.
Good start!

Hi Toriad!
First of all, thanks for putting so much effort into working on this guide. Asking for feedback as you go is a great way to make your guide the best it can be.
I don't know much about leveling alchemy so I can only comment on the organization of the guide. I think the vendor list might be useful but should probably be last, since the main reason someone is going to click on this guide is to see the leveling part Alternatively, you could simply provide a link to a WoWhead search for alchemy trainers and vendors.
Honestly everything looks pretty good, looks like you are using WoWhead links for the items which is great. I think I prefer the way you have the table set up for the vendors/trainers to the line-less, centered style of the leveling section, but that's a pretty minor stylistic difference so it's really up to you
Overall it's looking great, keep up the good work!
PS: I added in a break tag so that the guide appears properly on the front page. I think if you edit it you'll figure out easily enough how it works - it just tells the front page where to stop when displaying text. It was breaking up your color coding on the disclaimer before.
If you like I can send you
Submitted by Jiyambi on Tue, 2010-05-18 12:16.
If you like I can send you the source code for mine, but I think the way you have it now works fine. Basically before the lack of lines combined with a large spacing between columns and center justification made it a little hard to read. My LW guide gets away with the lack of lines okay, I think because the columns were left justified rather than centered.
Honestly I think the way you have it set up now looks fine, but again, if you'd like me to send you the source code for the LW guide tables, I can

The long-term goal of my laboratory is to understand the molecular basis of pathogenesis of Marek's disease virus (MDV), a potent oncogenic herpesvirus that causes T-cell tumors in chickens. MDV codes for a protein (Meq), which shares significant resemblance with the Jun/Fos family of transcriptional factors. We have shown that this gene plays a critical role in latency and transformation of T-lymphocytes. Understanding the basic mechanism of viral pathogenesis will aid in the development of improved vaccine. We are also interested in other important poultry disease like avian influenza.

Captioned, "View of a slave yard at Gorée," this illustration shows several men, women, and children; a man on the left appears to be having lice picked out of his hair, two women are shown with infants on their backs (one is pounding meal, using a wooden mortar and pestle). "The riches of the inhabitants consists of slaves," the Spilsbury writes, "each house having a slave yard, with huts for them; among the female slaves are many elegant figures . . . The slaves of both sexes are naked, except the piece of cloth which passes round their loins. The females do all the drudgery , such as beating corn, etc. and their children at their backs: this operation is performed in a wooden mortar, with a large pestle; and to show their agility, the women clap their hands while it flies upwards" (p. 12). The author, a surgeon aboard the Favourite, made the "various sketches from which the accompanying engravings have been produced . . . the drawings and portraits were made on the spot" (pp. iii-iv).

They don't shoot horse race tracks, do they?
Just to put them out of their misery?
History will be more humane in how it documents the high life and memorable moments of Hollywood Park, the insouciant, inscrutable Inglewood thoroughbred facility that finally has reached the point of being deemed too valuable by local business leaders for something as frivolous as public gambling on equine unpredictability.
But before we throw the synthetic dirt onto their grave proposal to make this a big, new housing complex, there's value in trying to determine where Hollywood Park ranks among the top 50 most important sports venues in Southern California history.
Top 20, easily. Higher, anyone?
Others who've managed to see much more of L.A.'s sports history play out going back over the last half century-plus may have a better feel of how to put it into context.
"To put Hollywood Park in its proper place among L.A. sports venues, it would seem appropriate to look beyond its declining years to the track's entire 75-year history," said Rick Baedecker, the former Hollywood Park president who plans to be at today's closing day with about 40 family members to bid it a proper adieu.
"During its first 50 years, it became the number one track in California and, for a while, the country. It was known as 'the track of the lakes and flowers,' a 400-acre oasis just a few miles from the ocean. But more important, it was a showcase for the sport's greatest performers — from Seabiscuit, Citation and Swaps to Pincay, McCarron and Shoemaker, perhaps the greatest jockey of all-time. And L.A. sports fans embraced it — 80,000 came out for a tote bag giveaway in 1980, when a crowd of 30,000 was the norm — for a Wednesday afternoon.
"Hollywood Park may be top 20. But there was a time when it was second to none."
David Simon, the president of the L.A. Sports Council, said there's justification in including "Hollywood" in its name even despite its locale. Warner Brothers' Harry Warner was the first chairman of the park's board of directors. Another founding board member was Al Jolson. Bing Crosby and Lucille Ball were horse owners and regulars at the track in the 1950s.
"Today's celebrities have gravitated to other sports," Simon said, "but in its prime Hollywood Park had a glamorous aura befitting its name."
Rich Perelman, author of "Unforgettable: The 100 Greatest Moments in Los Angeles Sports History," picks the park at No. 16 on his own Top 50 list.
"In a time when there were fewer teams, less television and leisure was less about wearing a team jersey and screaming and more about being social, Hollywood Park was an oasis of class that was accessible to just about everyone," said Perelman, a UCLA and Loyola Law School grad who has been immersed in event consulting, marketing and communications. He even acted as the 1984 Summer Olympics press chief.
"It tried to adapt as the community's tastes changed, but it was never going to be Santa Anita. It will be remembered in the future more fondly than it was in life, as is the case for so many of the pleasure palaces we have lost. But it was fun while it lasted."
It's just as fun to create this Top 50 list, based on historic relevance, aura and mystique to the area over the years.
If you'll bear with us, we'd lay it out this way:
1. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum: Aside from some unpopular opinion, the place has managed to stay classic, and classy, as the center piece to two Summer Olympics (1932, '84), the first Super Bowl ('67), the Dodgers' 1959 World Series and the home of USC football since its opening in 1923 (and UCLA's home from 1928-81). It also gave shelter to the first major pro sports franchise in L.A. when the NFL's Rams moved here from Cleveland and held three NFL championships. We know the Raiders came crawling here as well and leveraged it neatly. The flame keeps on burning over remodeling modifications, historical landmark designations and, at last, USC stepping in as caretaker. Over the next 10 years, there will be more improvements that keep it in this top spot.
2. Dodger Stadium: Walter O'Malley's big dig into the side of a downtown hillside was a genius stroke. It doesn't look a day over 52, with more upgrades coming. And please give Frank McCourt some credit for going back to the retro-color original seats a few years back. The venue may want to stretch things by hosting soccer, motocross and an outdoor hockey game next month, but it doesn't have to resort to such gimmickry.
3. Rose Bowl: The Pasadena icon not only is where many traditionally have welcomed the new year since 1923, but it has become more accommodating to four BCS title games (including the final one next month), five Super Bowls and FIFA World Cup title matches for men ('94) and women ('99). Just keep it quiet. The neighbors are getting cranky.
4. Pauley Pavilion: The House That Wooden Built opened for UCLA's '65-66 basketball season, was remodeled for the 2012-13 season and should remain a landmark as long as banners keep hanging from the rafters. it also was the perfect place for Mary Lou Retton to show what perfection looked like during the '84 Olympic gymnastics.
5. The Forum: The place Jack Nicholson referred to as "The Giant Ashtray" in Hollywood Park-adjacent Inglewood was Jack Kent Cooke's palace for his Lakers and Kings starting in 1967. It's making a comeback as a concert venue. How about another indoor rodeo someday?
6. Staples Center: The downtown super-sized facility since '99 changes over from events faster than a five-star restaurant turns over tables. It has seen seven NBA finals, a Stanley Cup passed around and all other kinds of Grammy glitz to add to its crossover appeal.
7. Santa Anita Park: Arcadia's art deco monument often referred to as the world's most beautiful race track with the San Gabriel Mountains as the backdrop. No lies. Since its opening on Christmas, 1934, it has survived attempts to close it to expand local retail outlets. Thankfully, it survived and has hosted seven Breeders' Cups.
8. Grand Olympic Auditorium: When used for boxing, wrestling and weightlifting at the 1932 Olympics, it was the largest indoor arena in the country of its kind with 15,300 seats. Too bad roller derby and pro wrestling events weren't Olympic disciplines then, too. The place where the 1976 Oscar-winning movie "Rocky" was filmed was sold off to a Korean Christian church. Too late to put up a fight and reclaim it?
9. Riviera Country Club: The Palisades park known as "Hogan's Alley" has held three major golf events and stands firm as the PGA's annual L.A. stop.
10. Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena: The first home of the Lakers ('60-'67), Kings ('67) and Clippers ('84-'99) also had USC and UCLA basketball, the '68 and '72 NCAA men's basketball Final Four and showed what major indoor track looked like. Current owners USC may do a tear-down and replace it with a soccer stadium. Go for it.
We're comfortable slotting Hollywood Park into this tier — coincidentally, among some of the other formidable former L.A. sports landmarks that won't be forgotten.
11. Wrigley Field
12. Gilmore Field
13. Anaheim Stadium/Angel Stadium
14. Hollywood Park

Hollywood Park Stadium in Inglewood:
Isn't Hollywood all about pretending? There was a time when Al Davis used to jangle the keys to Hollywood Park's future, supposedly negotiating a 65,000-seat space with 150 luxury boxes at a price tag of about $200 million about 20 years ago.
It never happened. If it did, maybe we'd decide the race track graciouisly was stepping aside for something bigger and better instead of just bettor-centic. But like all the others on this mini-list, it seems as if all the fantasy talk generated around it possibly being built leaves us feeling as if it's already come and gone.

Revision as of 15:25, 13 November 2008
From the Eclipse Bylaws section 7.2: "responsible for the development, articulation, and maintenance of the Eclipse Platform Architecture" (as defined in the then current Eclipse Development Process)
From the Development Process: "... and ensuring the Principles of the Development Process through mentorship."
From the EAC charter: "responsible for the long-term technical health of the Eclipse platforms and frameworks (...) involves itself in inter- and intra-project architecture (...) and open source process (...) through discussion during its meetings, mentoring and consultation.", so the EAC is involved in both technical and process aspects because the social and process structure of a project has been shown to have a direct impact on the technical quality of its extensible frameworks and exemplary tools. See also Darin Swanson's Blog about the EAC.
This role for the Architecture Council represents a new (revitalized?) role for the Architecture Council and thus there is not a lot of history to build on. The Council will be as effective and useful as we make it.
The membership of the Architecture Council is listed on the councils page of the main website, which also has an index to the meeting minutes of the "old" EAC. Mentoring assignments as well as links to member Bio's can be found on the Members and Mentors page.
Discussions and Recommendations
- Top Ten Recommendations (work in progress)
- Things Committers Should Know
- Links Collection to architecture-related interesting blog posts, articles and the like
- Bugs on the Architecture Council component, or CC'd to the EAC
- Get involved! File a bug for discussion on the EAC. We welcome your input! - See this E-Mail.
Call Schedule
EAC conference calls are every month on the second Thursday at 8am Pacific, 11am Eastern, 5pm European time. A reminder email will be sent to the list in advance of the calls. The call-in number is on each Agenda page (usually the standard Eclipse Foundation Conference Bridge for Project Reviews, as per the MyFoundation Portal page).
The calendar is available in the following formats:
Some interesting Items to Discuss at the EAC Calls
- Ganymede build infrastructure - how to achieve continuous integration, unit tests covering the integration of all projects, and consistency across all projects
- Early integration tests, Automated JUnit API conformance tests
- UI Consistency - when I'm not mistaken, the UI Guidelines are being reworked; how can we encourage projects to pick them up.
- Remote Development - Theoretically, EFS should be the foundation on which workspaces can be put on remote machines, and I do see a lot of interest in this -- but practically, there are some roadblocks. It's a pervasive topic since most projects are not really EFS-aware yet. How to improve the situation?
- Scripting, Macro Recording, DOMs - Another pervasive theme, if macro recording & playback is to be supported across an entire Eclipse based product, there need to be guidelines and APIs for projects to follow. It may be a multi-year multi-project effort but it may be worth getting it started.
- Security - With the number of plugins aver growing, is there a threat of trojans nesting themselves inside Eclipse? Getting a trojan or virus-like plugin into Eclipse can be extremely malicious - from spying to impersonation up to data destruction. Is it a real threat, and is there something that could / should be done?
- Project Model and Nested Projects - when developers lay out the directory structure on non-eclipse projects, they often use a tree where some directories represent projects. Those projects are "nested". This is also often related to the way the files are stored in a configuration management system. Unfortunately eclipse does not really support this real-world setup bug 35973, and this Blog by Alex Blewitt
- Integrated bug reporting: Mylyn is providing a bug/error/enhancement reporting facility that will provide a flexible and product-configurable mapping between features, bundles and bug trackers bug 212209. Once done it would be good to discuss how best for EPP and other products to consume this (Example: http://wiki.eclipse.org/images/8/86/Mylyn-Bug-Reporting-Example.jpg )
- Package visibility policies: New WTP Policy and bug 202711
- Community Development for Eclipse Projects
Resources (from the "old" EAC for now)
- EAC Mailing List Archives
- Eclipse (EMO) Architecture Council Index
- Old meeting minutes
How Do I Become A Member of the Architecture Council?
Architecture Council members come from three sources as per the Architecture Council/Bylaws:
- first, each Top-Level Project PMC may appoint one member.
- second, by nomination and election, the Council can recommend new members for appointment by the EMO (N.B. the Bylaws state that the Executive Director can appoint members to the Council; while remaining consistent with the Bylaws, this nomination and election provides an avenue for the Council to recommend such appointments).
- third, Strategic Consumers as a group are entitled to designate one member.
- fourth, each Strategic Developer or Strategic Consumer with 8 or more developers working on Eclipse platform projects may appoint one member (unless an employee is already appointed).
At least once a year, the Architecture Council considers and elects new members. By convention, this happens in the first quarter of the year in advance of EclipseCon so that new Architecture Council members can attend the face-to-face meeting held at EclipseCon. The process is:
- Nominations are discussed in a phone meeting, and taken on the Architecture Council mailing list. Candidates must be current Committers on an Eclipse project.
- The chair calls for a vote whose duration is no less than one week.
- Voting is accomplished in the usual open-source manner, with each existing Council member voting +1, 0, or -1 on each candidate.
- Candidates must receive +1s from a simple majority of the existing Council members (not counting dormant members who did not vote, and not have any upheld -1s. Note that this requirement for a majority vote is a higher hurdle than the three +1s required for Committer elections, but this is by design: election to the Architecture Council is a sign of extremely high regard by the community.
- In case the simple majority is not reached, the AC may still decide to recommend a candidate by means of discussion during a face-to-face or phone meeting.
- The chair passes the nominations and recommendations of the Council (as evidenced by their votes) to the Executive Director who then, at his discretion, appoints the new members to the Council.
What is the term of Architecture Council members?
Members appointed by dint of PMC or Strategic Membership have no term limits. Members appointed by the EMO are appointed to two year terms as per the development process r2.4 (August 20, 2008) (It was three year terms in the previous process r2.3.1 of Jan 17, 2007). Members' terms can be renewed any number of times through reelection.
Members who are unresponsive to the business of the Council (for example, if they do not participate in the vetting and election of new candidates) can be removed by a simple three +1s, no upheld -1s vote of the Council. Technically, the EMO Executive Director will be asked to remove such members on a negative vote.

Some of you may remember that a few years ago a very exciting discovery was made! A small girl named Alice was playing in the garden of an old house in England when she fell down a large rabbit hole. Before climbing out she made a unique discovery. In a small wooden box under a pile of rabbit fur hats Alice spotted a yellowed letter. The letter was addressed to "Dear Easter" and signed "Uncle Wiggily", and it provided details of an interesting family tree!
Take a look at Easter Bunny's Family Tree chart and the letter to Easter Bunny from Uncle Wiggly.
Easter couldn't stay long as he had a lot of eggs to colour and hide but he did show me the Bible and let me take a picture of it. Wow, what a lucky bunny! I wonder what he'll find in the next 12 months?

Congrats, Lorine! Can you ask the Easter Bunny to drop off something similar at my place? We really don't need chocolate (bad for my diet & kid's teeth), and we have plenty of eggs. But we're short on family Bibles! ;-)

A Realistic Job Preview (RJP) is a recruiting tool used to communicate both the good and bad aspects of a job. Essentially, it is used to provide a prospective employee a realistic view of what the job entails. This measure, much like the job-fit measure, is to provide candidates a richer description of the agency and the job (e.g., work environment, duties, expectations) to help them decide if they are a good match. While the RJP can be useful for reducing turnover, it should be used as a candidate self-evaluation tool rather than a traditional selection device (e.g., cognitive ability tests, accomplishment record).
In creating a RJP, there are many factors to consider, including:

Monitor implementation and evaluate the RJP process on a periodic basis to ensure the plan is followed and the intended results are achieved. Make adjustments to the RJP as necessary.

UK Standards for Microbiology Investigations (UK SMI): quality and consistency in clinical laboratories
UK SMIs are algorithms and procedures for clinical microbiology, developed through consultation. Patients and the public can comment on any open consultations.
UK SMIs are algorithms and procedures for clinical microbiology, developed through consultation. Patients, public and partner organisations can comment on any open consultations.
UK Standards for Microbiology Investigations include:
- syndromic algorithms, that are the overarching framework that connect other UK SMIs, and describe the investigations chosen at the pre-analytical (clinical syndrome) stage
- recommended investigations for microbiology
- minimum testing algorithms for virology (analytical and post analytical)
- quality guidance that describes laboratory methodologies to ensure quality, like assay validation, quality assurance and understanding uncertainty of measurement
Updates include:
- newly issued and re-issued UK SMIs
- documents under consultation
- general news updates
UK Standards for Microbiology Investigations objectives are:
- to provide good quality evidence based, NICE accredited standards for the investigation of infections for diagnostic and public health microbiology laboratories, without commercial company bias or emphasis
- to develop overarching documents based on the investigation of syndromes which in turn are supported by more detailed guidance on the investigation of diseases and infections
- to develop, review and update UK SMIs through a wide consultation process where the views of all participants are considered and the resulting documents reflect the majority agreement of contributors
- to advise commissioners of microbiological services on the range and standard they should require in their contracts with microbiology laboratories
- to provide the UK SMIs electronically as a one stop shop for microbiology investigations
Who uses the standards
Three groups of users find UK SMIs relevant to their work.
Practicing laboratory medicine professionals in the UK use UK SMIs as a general resource.
Clinicians use UK SMIs to learn about the standard of laboratory services they can expect for their patients. UK SMIs can help them order the appropriate tests electronically from hospital wards.
Commissioners of healthcare services use UK SMIs to find the standard of microbiology investigations they can seek as part of the clinical and public health care package for their population.
UK Standards for Microbiology Investigations are available in Italian.
UK SMI consultation process
Public Health England (PHE) acts as custodian of UK SMIs. We review documents which are in use every 3 to 5 years.
UK SMIs are developed, reviewed and updated through a consultation process.
We develop these standards together with partner organisations, Public Health Wales, representatives from Scotland and Northern Ireland, NHS and the Royal College of Pathologists which display their logos on the UK SMIs.
An organisation's logo in an UK SMI indicates the society participated in equal partnership and support for the objectives and process of preparing UK SMIs.
Each of the devolved administrations endorses UK SMIs. Public Health Wales bases its own All-Wales SOPs on the UK SMIs. The Welsh Microbiological Association, the Scottish Microbiology and Virology Network, the Scottish Microbiology Association and the Northern Ireland Microbiology Forum and Audit Group also endorse the standards.
Nominees of professional societies are members of the steering committee and working groups that develop UK SMIs. The nominees participate in the development of the UK SMIs although their views cannot be rigorously representative of the members of the partner organisation nor the corporate view of the organisation.
Nominees act as conduits for two way reporting and dialogue.
The standards unit updates and reviews UK SMIs by consultation with members of the public, partners, stakeholders and specialist groups. This includes microbiology professionals and doctors. The resulting documents reflect the majority view of contributors.
Consultation stages and document markings
The 'Draft' watermark means that a document is new to the UK SMI repository or is actively undergoing review.
The 'Under review' watermark refers to a document that is already in the UK SMI repository but requires a review.
The 'Under Consultation' watermark refers to documents which are either draft or under review which are undergoing wide consultation.
Public and patient involvement (PPI)
The standards unit encourages public and patient involvement (PPI) in the development of all UK SMIs.
All PPI activities within the standards unit follow the PHE public involvement policy and take place following discussion with the PHE public involvement team.
Quality assurance and accreditation
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has accredited the process to produce UK SMIs used by the UK SMI working groups.
The accreditation applies to all guidance produced since October 2009 using the UK SMI development processes.
Accreditation is valid until 30 June 2021.
The process for developing UK SMIs is also certified to ISO 9001:2008.
UK SMIs represent a good standard of practice to which all clinical and public health microbiology laboratories in the UK are expected to work. They represent neither minimum standards of practice nor the highest level of complex laboratory investigation possible.
In using UK SMIs, laboratories should take account of local requirements and undertake additional investigations where appropriate. UK SMIs help laboratories to meet accreditation requirements by promoting high quality practices which are auditable. UK SMIs also provide a reference point for method development.
The performance of UK SMIs depends on competent staff and appropriate quality reagents and equipment. Laboratories must ensure that they have validated all commercial and in-house tests, to ensure the tests are fit for purpose.
Laboratories should participate in external quality assessment schemes and undertake relevant internal quality control procedures.
Information governance and equality
PHE is a Caldicott compliant organisation. It seeks to take every possible precaution to prevent unauthorised disclosure of patients details and to ensure that patient-related records are kept under secure conditions.
PHE equality objectives apply to the UK SMI development process.
The UK SMI working groups achieve the equality objectives by effective consultation with members of the public, partners, stakeholders and specialist interest groups.
Legal statement
While every care has been taken in the preparation of UK SMIs, PHE and the partner organisations, shall, to the greatest extent possible under any applicable law, exclude liability for all losses, costs, claims, damages or expenses arising out of or connected with the use of an UK SMI or any information contained therein. If alterations are made by an end user to a UK SMI for local use, it must be made clear where in the document the alterations have been made and by whom such alterations have been made and also acknowledged that PHE and the partner organisations shall bear no liability for such alterations. For the further avoidance of doubt, as UK SMIs have been developed for application within the UK, any application outside the UK shall be at the user's risk.
The evidence base and microbial taxonomy for the UK SMI is as complete as possible at the date of issue. Any omissions and new material will be considered at the next review. These standards can only be superseded by revisions of the standard, legislative action, or by NICE accredited guidance.
UK SMIs are Crown copyright which should be acknowledged where appropriate.

Pakistani police have arrested three men in connection with the kidnapping of 70-year-old American Warren Weinstein more than 10 days ago.
Police officers declined to give details about who the men are and what their connection to the Aug. 13 abduction may be. The three were detained by police Tuesday but were not officially arrested until today, authorities said.
No group has come forward to claim the kidnapping or issue demands in exchange for Weinstein's return -- an unusual development which sparked concern among some officials over Weinstein's fate. But one Pakistani intelligence official told ABC News last week there was no evidence to suggest the abductors had intended to kill Weinstein or that he had been accidentally killed.
"The Pakistanis are leading a very vigorous investigation," U.S. Department of State spokesperson Victoria Nuland said today, noting that the FBI and the U.S. embassy are assisting in efforts to track Weinstein down.
READ: American Mystery in Pakistan: Cops Release Kidnapping Suspect Sketch
Weinstein, a private U.S. citizen who has lived in Pakistan for seven years, was sleeping in his bed when assailants burst into his home to snatch him. The former USAID worker is currently employed by the private U.S.-based development firm J.E. Austin Associates.
All three suspects are from the same province in which Weinstein lived, an area far from the turbulent tribal regions near the Afghan border more usually associated with violent attacks. The men were arrested after investigators managed to track their cell phone numbers, the Lahore police chief said without elaborating.
Weinstein's friends and colleagues describe him as a diligent worker dedicated to helping Pakistani people.
"He is a tireless worker for development in Pakistan," Geoff Quartermaine Bastin, who worked with Weinstein after meeting him six years ago, told ABC News. Bastin said Weinstein "worked 18-hour days, three phones at once while talking to a fourth person at the table."
"He is very smart, very motivated and loved Pakistan and its people. He is careless of his health and safety, going everywhere to push his projects," Bastin said.
Weinstein suffers from a heart condition, and J.E. Austin Associates released a long list of medications that he takes, appealing to his abductors to provide them for him.
Some in Pakistan have speculated privately that Weinstein was not a development worker, but instead worked in intelligence for the U.S. Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah publicly announced his suspicions last week, telling local media that Weinstein was involved in "quite suspect" intelligence-gathering for the U.S. government and compared him to Raymond Davis, the American CIA contractor who was jailed in Pakistan earlier this year for shooting two men on the streets of Lahore.
U.S. diplomats said Weinstein is not connected to any U.S. intelligence groups.
Weinstein is the first private citizen to be kidnapped in Pakistan since al Qaeda operatives abducted and murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2002.
ABC News' Lee Ferran and Kirit Radia contributed to this report.

Published through TWB Books subscription series.
Todd Hido ohio
TBW Books
Subscripton = $100 (4 books total)
The Subscription Series published by Oakland's TBW Books (the brain child of Paul Schiek) features a collection of indiviual books by these four great photographers: Todd Hido, Marianne Mueller, Abner Nolan, and Alec Soth. A paid subscription of $100 gets you a new 6"x8" book every three months. Book quantities are limited to 650 unsigned subscriptions and 50 signed subscriptions... Very nicely printed and could develop into a healthy collection. My only gripe is that the pages are too thick/ cardboard like which makes flipping through it not as enjoyable.
Below is the first book in series 2 features photos Todd Hido took as a child, edited together with recent photos taken with the same camera.
About the subscription series
Four accomplished artists working in the photographic medium were invited to present an intensely personal and poetic exploration of their work to be released in the form of a book. Each artist will be represented by one book in this four book series. Given complete creative control, these gifted individuals crafted powerful, surprising, and completely uncompromised works that implore the viewer to contemplate the relationships between images. This series provides an unparalleled glimpse into the thinking processes of who we consider to be four of today's most exciting photo makers.
The Subscription Series is a limited edition, hand numbered book series that will not be available in stores. Subscribers will receive one book every three months beginning December 1st. Book quantities are limited to 650 unsigned subscriptions and 50 signed subscriptions.
This year's series will come wrapped in a slipcover and will also feature a size increase, with new dimensions of 6x8 inches. Each component of every book will be printed and assembled proudly in Oakland, CA. We recognize the value of keeping resources within the community, and are committed to doing business with like-minded, independent printing professionals.
Last years' Subscription Series was recognized and collected by many prominent galleries and museums, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Yale University Art Gallery. An article about the series also appeared in PDN (Photo District News).
Our subscription book series and format is a novel idea to the photo world. By offering these books only as a set, we seek to preserve the relationships and dialogues that take place between them. Viewed as a collection, these intimate artifacts weave a wide, complex portrait of our world. We choose to offer this series only through mail delivery because we feel the work deserves a careful first viewing away from the retail environment.

A statement by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
The devastation wrought by the recent powerful tornadoes in the Oklahoma City area is a tragic reminder of the importance of being prepared for severe weather of all kinds. National Hurricane Preparedness Week, May 25-June 1, is a time to emphasize that preparing for these massive storms is vital to every family's health and well-being. By preparing now, you can protect yourself and your loved ones from the damaging impacts of a storm.
Last fall, many along the East Coast felt the impact of Hurricane Sandy - one of the largest hurricanes in history. The storm affected millions of people and, for some, the devastation will be felt for a lifetime. This season, I urge you to make a plan to stay safe and protect your health as storms develop so you are ready when minutes count.
Steps you can take to keep you and your family safe include:
•Discuss with your family what you will do if you need to evacuate. Where will you meet? What will you take with you? How will you check in so that you'll know who is OK and who isn't?
•If you have a pet, make a plan for your pet if you have to evacuate.
•Get backups for things you need every day:
Do you have backup clean drinking water?
Do you have a backup supply of medication, and a copy of your current prescription?
If you use electricity to run medical equipment (like a nebulizer, oxygen concentrator, or ventilator) or to keep your medication refrigerated, do you know where to go if the power goes out? Do you know where you can go to recharge your batteries? Do you know who you will call if you need help getting there?
•Do you have a backup copy of your medical record? You can ask your doctor to print a copy for you, or save an electronic copy in the Cloud or on an external hard drive or enter the information into a smartphone or tablet application.
•Make sure you know how to use a backup generator safely. Remember to keep it outdoors and away from windows to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
•Talk to your friends and family about your emergency plans. Establish family and friends as your lifelines, and talk about how you could help each other and communicate during and after a hurricane.
•If you know a storm is coming, follow the instructions of your local emergency officials. If they suggest evacuating, get out of harm's way.
•Make sure to fully charge your cell phone or other mobile devices so you can communicate after a storm. Plan to text, email, or use social media to let everyone know you're OK so phone lines remain open for first responders.
These steps can save your life and keep your loved ones safe. For more information on how to stay safe and protect health in an emergency, visit:

The Coordinated Advice and Referral Program for Legal Services
(CARPLS) and Chicago-Kent College of Law have created a
legal aid hotline clinical program at the Law School for
Chicago-Kent students starting in the spring 2004 semester.
The 2 credit clinical program will be open to a maximum
of 5 second and third year students, with preference being
given to evening-division students. Students need not be
"711" licensed. The class will generally meet
on Wednesday evenings from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. The participating
students will talk to CARPLS clients who call the CARPLS
Hotline seeking legal advice in the areas of landlord-tenant
and family law. The students will be supervised by an experienced
CARPLS attorney.
Student interns in the IP-Patent Clinic will assist faculty
and students at the Illinois Institute of Technology, the
University of Illinois at Chicago, and other tech transfer
or school related companies or institutions on selected
"real-life" patent related matters. The student
interns will work with and be supervised by the newly-appointed
adjunct clinical faculty who are patent lawyers at Bell,
Boyd, and Lloyd in providing patentability opinions, performing
clearance searches, and guiding clients through the range
of intellectual property legal issues that typically face
start-up inventors and companies. In addition, the student
interns will make presentations to Illinois Institute of
Technology faculty and students on patent issues in an attempt
to educate and market the IP-Patent Clinic to the faculty
and students.
Prerequisites: Prior completion of Patent Law required.
Because the IP-Patent Clinic experience will involve working
with technology, it is very strongly recommended that students
possess a technical background, and preference will be given
those students in selecting clinic interns.
The IP-Patent Clinic is a three-credit course that will
be offered in the fall and spring semesters, and it is anticipated
that between 3-5 students will participate each semester.
Chicago-Kent College of Law offers a clinical
program in family law. The family law clinic operates
on a sliding scale fee basis, depending on the financial
circumstances of the parties. The clinic represents clients
in matters limited to cases to be brought before the Cook
County Circuit Court. Client referrals are actively sought
from the practicing bar, labor unions, employee groups,
and educational institutions.
In addition, the clinical program provides
a teaching platform for Chicago-Kent students who are
interested in practicing in the area of family law. All
student work is completed under the direct supervision
of an attorney.
Attorney Ira C. Feldman has been named
to oversee the new program. Prior to his appointment,
Feldman was a partner at the law firm of Wildman, Harrold,
Allen and Dixon. From 1981 to 1991, he was a partner at
Naumark, Bonner and Feldman. Between 1975 and 1981, he
headed Feldman and Associates. Feldman completed his undergraduate
at American University and earned his law degree at the
university's Washington College of Law.
"Professor Feldman is a highly regarded and experienced
practitioner of family law. He will expand the services
of the Chicago-Kent Law Offices to include representation
in matters of legal separation, divorce, child support,
child custody, visitation, guardianships and other related
matters," said Professor Gary S. Laser director of clinical
