I-80 Landmark Nut Tree Once Catered to a Queen
Published 4:00 am, Friday, March 31, 2000
2000-03-31 04:00:00 PDT VACAVILLE -- Miles roll by, but there is little to break the Interstate 80 monotony on the drive from the Bay Area to Sacramento. Pockets of sprouting subdivisions on denuded pastureland alternate with stucco warehouses and corrugated shacks.
Chain-store blight, too, has displaced all but a few stray cows.
It's all very prosaic, not much to hold a driver's attention. This could be any stretch of road seemingly anywhere on the interstate highway system. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
Ah, but once, there was a roadside attraction in Vacaville worthy of anticipation. Once, there was a reason for motorists to pay attention to the billboards and to watch on the odometer counting the miles to an absolutely must-stop spot. Once, there was the Nut Tree.
In an earlier epoch, before suburban sprawl turned nearly every freeway exit into a gas-food-lodging haven, the Nut Tree served as a culinary and curio oasis in a desert of endless roadway. It was more than just a restaurant and gift shop; it was a slice of Americana carved on 160 acres of Solano County agricultural terrain.

What began in 1921 as a mere fruit stand run by Edwin ("Bunny") Power and wife, Mary, grew into a quasi-community which, by its heyday in the 1970s, had acquired its own airport, post office and zip code and distinct decorative style. Such notables as Elizabeth II, Bing Crosby and presidents Nixon and Reagan were known to stop by. But whether it was heads of state or just travelers heading off the Interstate, the unfailingly friendly Nut Tree staff treated them with the same down-home hospitality.
Now, though, the Nut Tree is little more than a shell of its former self. It closed in 1996, the victim of Power family squabbling, encroaching suburban retail competition in growing Vacaville and Fairfield and, well, changing tastes.
They still come to the Nut Tree, David McCullough says. At least two carloads a day. Usually, it's at lunchtime. Usually, they are older adults from out of state who haven't heard that the place closed four years ago. Usually, they want lunch.
"They walk up to the doors expecting to see the gift shop," says McCullough, general manager of the Renaissance Entertainment Association, which leases office space in the old Nut Tree complex. "It's like, people still come here by rote. They see the Nut Tree sign and pull off the roadside."
Call the Nut Tree a roadside attraction, and watch Vacaville natives wince. They say it's akin to calling the Louvre an art mart. The place was, they insist, so much more.
"It struck an emotional chord with people," says Don Birrell, the Nut Tree's head designer from 1953 to 1990. "People lived out their childhoods there. When it closed and we had a (Vacaville) museum exhibit (in 1997), people were crying. It was that special."
Clearly, the Nut Tree meant a lot to residents -- and not just because it was the city's sixth-largest employer in the 1990s. The Nut Tree gave Vacaville -- long an agricultural speck on the map before suburban development began in earnest in the late 1980s -- an identity.
So, what made the Nut Tree so memorable?
Food, for one thing.
After World War II, the Nut Tree acquired a national reputation for its cuisine, which combined heaping portions of "comfort food" with fresh fruits and vegetables. No less a food icon than Alice Waters has credited the Nut Tree for being a forebearer of the so-called "California cuisine" movement.
In 1972, the Nut Tree was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award by a publication called Restaurants and Institutions. Other Bay Area recipients include Berkeley's Chez Panisse, Yountville's French Laundry, and Stars in San Francisco.
And when Sunset Magazine's legendary former food editor Genevieve Callahan wanted to introduce restaurants to an invention called the microwave oven in the early 1960s, why, of course she chose the Nut Tree. "Although I think they called them 'radar ranges' back then," Birrell says.
No one, however, would mistake the Nut Tree as an elitist stop for gourmets. This was homey, caloric fare that never failed to sate the appetite of travelers heading to Lake Tahoe for the weekend.
Ada Dito, a Nut Tree waitress from 1941 to 1996, said customers sometimes sat slack-jawed as they waited for the traditional appetizer of pineapple slices with marshmallow sauce to be lovingly placed before them. It never took long, Dito says. And besides, customers could take the edge off their hunger by nibbling on warm cashews from a white porcelain dish.
Every meal came with a loaf of freshly baked bread along with the ubiquitous mound of cottage cheese or potato salad -- or both. The Nut Tree's Vagabond Sandwich alone -- a do-it-yourself concoction of sliced meats, cheeses and vegetables, along with chilled gazpacho soup served in a hollowed- out head of lettuce -- could feed a family of four. Condiments came in a butterfly-shaped serving dish.
Oh, and don't forget the food presentation. That was the foremost peccadillo of the late Robert Power, Edwin Jr.'s brother, who was in charge of the restaurant. Nut Tree entrees had to be arranged "just so," says Dito, the food strategically arranged around plates larger than hubcaps.
Such attention to detail extended to the place settings, as well. The Nut Tree had its own design department, headed by Birrell and Edwin Jr., that took pains to be meticulous.
"I found out real quick that there was a right way and a wrong way to line up the pepper mills," says Blanchard Rogers, a longtime employee who became a limited partner. "They had it down to a science."
It was more like an art form, says Birrell, whom the Power brothers hired away from the Crocker Museum in Sacramento in 1953.
"We had a master plan for everything, from the design of the billboards to landscape architecture, interior design to the way food was arranged on the plate," Birrell says. "We wanted to create a certain feeling, make people remember us."
The kitchen staff also catered many fancy events, including Queen Elizabeth's 1983 state luncheon (entree: sole and shrimp) in the rotunda of the Capitol in Sacramento. Nut Tree staff brewed 50 types of tea in ornate pots so that the queen could choose her favorite. But she ordered coffee instead. Later, she switched to gin and tonic.
In retrospect, the queen's luncheon was the high point in the Nut Tree's popularity. Thirteen years later, the Nut Tree would close after heavy financial losses and a family rift that would result in a slew of lawsuits. By the late 1980s, Vacaville no longer was a one-stop diversion off the Interstate. The city was growing to 80,000 residents, and fast-food joints and retail stores were sprouting like Hydra's head. At the same time, the Power family was entering a difficult transition in corporate power, as the second generation of owners -- Edwin Jr., Robert and Mary Helen Fairchild -- passed daily control to their children.
"They didn't keep up with the social trends," Birrell says. "In the '80s, the food police came along and people didn't want huge portions and rich food, and they didn't change the menu."
Today, the Nut Tree complex sits in varying states of disrepair. Now, all you can do at this erstwhile rest stop is rest. Signs for the "Sandwich Garden" and "Ice Cream Kiosk" near the restaurant remain, but the only action comes from jackrabbits darting through the weeds and overgrown grass.
Across a potholed road, however, bulldozers and jackhammers can be heard. It is the construction of a 3,500-seat baseball stadium and concert venue to house the minor- league Solano Steelheads, which moved south from Sacramento after last season.
It is the first new construction in ages at the Nut Tree. And the owners of the complex -- the Kivelstadt Group, a San Francisco design firm, and Edwin Power Jr. -- hope it will be the springboard toward a rebirth of a new, 21st century version of the Nut Tree.
"The focus of redevelopment is to create a unique family-oriented entertainment concept," said Tom Angstadt, manager of the ownership group. "The ballpark is just one thing. You'd have a variety of restaurants, not chains, and there could be a specialty retail section of the property similar to Fourth Street in Berkeley."
At one time, the Nut Tree was the third largest importer of pineapple on the entire West Coast. The fresh pineapple appetizer was always served with fresh marshmallow sauce. This recipe is excerpted from "Nut Tree Remembered: The Cookbook," published by the Vacaville Museum.
INGREDIENTS:-- 1 chilled ripe pineapple
-- 1 cup sugar
-- 1/2 cup hot water
-- 2/3 cup light corn syrup
-- 2 egg whites
-- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
-- dash of salt
-- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
-- 1 tablespoon grated orange rind
INSTRUCTIONS: To prepare fresh pineapple, cut off top and bottom of a chilled, thoroughly ripe pineapple and discard bottom. Working from bottom of fruit with a sharp knife, cut around the fruit inside the shell, leaving a thin, but firm wall. Push out the cylinder of fruit and slice it in 1/2-inch slices. Put slices back into shell in original order and position. If half-slices are desired, cut down through the stack inside the shell. Turn the filled shell upside down (so the sweeter slices of fruit are at the top) and place the green top alongside on a serving plate.
To make marshmallow sauce: Combine sugar, corn syrup and hot water. Heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Then boil, without stirring, to firm ball stage (244 to 248 degrees on candy thermometer). Beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Slowly add hot syrup, beating at high speed until thick and fluffy. Add salt and vanilla. Gently fold in mayonnaise and orange rind. If thicker than desired, fold in 1 or 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or 1 or 2 teaspoons water. Keep refrigerated until served.
Serves 3.

American Alligator
Alligator Farms
Crocodiles and Alligator Farms
Crocodile and alligator farms have been in existence since the early twentieth century. However, these early "farms" were similar to zoological parks that specialized in exhibiting crocodilians. There was no emphasis on breeding crocodilian stock and the primary source of income was tourism. These operations had little effect on utilization, conservation, or knowledge of crocodilians.
Purpose of Farms and Ranches
There are two major categories of ranch. Rearing stations, where eggs or juvenile crocodilians are collected from the wild and reared to skinning size, derive their income from the sale of skins and possibly tourism. Other ranches are dependent on taking crocodilians of marketable size from the wild as well as juveniles and eggs for rearing. Their emphasis is on management of habitat for sustained – yield harvesting. (Management of habitat may serve multiple purposes ___ cropping of fur – bearing animals, birds, and other marsh or swamp dwellers as well as harvesting of building materials, and food from plants.) Tourism is not a source of income.
Alligator Farming In the United States
The primary aim of the commission was to conserve the wetlands habitat of Louisiana. One method of doing this was to crop, on a sustained – yield basis, fur – bearing mammals, waterfowl, and alligators. It was hoped that this revenue, coupled with tax incentives and other government grants, would make income from managed marshlands competitive with agricultural development. In effect, the entire coastal marsh habit of Louisiana was to become a giant alligator ranch.
Under the United States Endangered Species Act of 1969, the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) became a federal responsibility. Management of the species was under the control of the United States Fish and Wildlife service.
Although the State of Louisiana and the Fish and Wildlife Service may have had the same ultimate goal _ preservation of the alligator _ their methods differed and a historic "state's rights" battle ensued. During this time, cropping of wild, ranched alligators was not possible and research at Rockefeller Refuge turned more toward rearing and farming of alligators in captivity.
Early research at Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge included penning wild – taken alligators in native marsh habitat to determine the optimum pen size, feeding routine and the effect of diet on fertility of eggs, water- land relationship, and sex – stocking ratios required for maximum production of eggs. Subsequently the staff developed methods for the collection and incubation of eggs, hatching, and rearing hatchlings to optimum skinning size. This require research into optimum diet for hatchlings, temperature – dependent sex ratios, the causes of malformations, and bacteriological and disease prophylaxis. The results of this Rockefeller Refuge – based research, modified for local conditions, have been used by farms worldwide.
Current farming research in Louisiana includes rearing alligators in controlled environments for maximum commercial advantage. In effect, alligators are reared in hothouses with heated water and a steady source of food. Music, preferably Cajun, is piped into the chambers and this evidently decreases the trauma to the alligators from external disturbances such as the cleaning of pens. Under these conditions, a commercially useful alligator or more than 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length can be produced in one year.
It was found that maintenance and nesting of "domestic" alligators (those reared in captivity) was more economical than using wild – taken or nuisance alligators. In addition, domestic alligators reared in environmental chambers nested at a young age _6 years as opposed to 10 years for wild Louisiana alligators _ and, if fed properly and stocked at the right density, eventually produced more nests than wild alligators. Clutch size increased with the age of the nesting female. The incubation temperature of eggs was found to influence post – hatching growth, with an incubation temperature of 31.7 C. (89 F) producing the lowest number of runts and the overall best growth rates.
Both Louisiana and Florida have a controlled, limited season for taking alligators and are attempting to manage their wild populations. The Louisiana strategy of managing and conserving alligator habitat by making it economical to ranch marshlands may, in the end, not only support the crocodilian skin trade by providing size classes of alligators not available from farms but also provide refuge and living space for all the native and migrant wildlife that utilizes these lands.
American Alligators have been farmed for many years but the conditions under which they were maintained in the past, where maintained in the past, were subject to few imposed standards. Alligator farms today use modern technology to raise commercially valuable animals in sanitary conditions.

- De Novo Peptide Sequencing Tutorial
More on
b and y ions
Peptides do not fragment sequentially, that is to say, the first fragmentation event does not start at the amino terminus and proceed sequentially one residue at a time down the amino acid chain. The fragmentation events are somewhat random and definitely not sequential. In addition, some fragmentations are preferred over others as noted by the variation in the abundance of observed peaks in the spectrum below. Most of us can recognize a peptide fragment spectrum just by glancing at it. The peaks will appear to differ by the approximate mass of an amino acid residue as shown below.
|Figure 1. This is an MS/MS spectrum of the tryptic peptide GLSDGEWQQVLNVWGK. This data was collected on an ion trap mass spectrometer. This spectrum will be the subject of our first unblinded de novo sequencing example.
The mess of peaks normally observed in a fragment spectrum are a reflection of the population of fragment ions produced in the collision cell of a mass spectrometer. The sequence of the peptide is determined by the mass difference between these peaks. To complicate matters there will be y and b ions intermixed that may allow you to to establish a sequence, both forward and backward.
Those fragment peaks that appear to extend from the amino terminus are termed "b ions". Figure 2. below demonstrates the ladder or family of "b ions" that may be observed in the fragment mass spectrum for this tryptic peptide. The b fragment peaks are labeled from the amino to the carboxyl terminus. The fragment containing only the amino terminal amino acid is termed b1. The fragment containing the first two amino terminal amino acids is termed the b2 ion, and so forth. The nomenclature is very simple to follow.
Figure 2.
|Below is a closer look at the generic structure of the first six amino terminal b ions. You can calculate the mass of any b ion, basically it is the mass of the shortened peptide (M)-17 (OH) = b ion m/z or or more simply M-17 = b ion m/z. To keep it simple this is the calculation for a singly charged b ion.
Figure 3.
|Figure 3. Shows the first six b ions in a little bit more detail. The b ion m/z value is basically the mass of the peptide minus OH, or -17u.
|Similarly, groups of peptide fragment ions appear to extend from the C-terminus, these peaks are termed, "y ions". The y ion series for our example peptide GLSDGEWQQVLNVWGK is illustrated below in Figure 4.
|Figure 4.
Below in Figure 5 the first six y ions are illustrated in some detail. To calculate the m/z value for the y ions just calculate the (M+H)1+ for the shortened peptide.
Figure 5
Figure 5. The first six y ions are illustrated. The calculated masses are shown above each y ion in bold numbers.
y and b ion mnemonic:
|To remember which are y ions and which are b ions you can remember that b ions are the series that extend from the amino terminus, or the front of the peptide. To us, it would make more sense if the b ions extended from the back or C-terminus, but just the opposite is true, b ions extend from the front of the peptide, the amino terminus.
The screen shot below is the output of a free on-line calculator provided by the Institute of Systems Biology. All you need to do is paste in the sequence of your peptide and it will output the expected y and b ions. The URL for this resource is http://db.systemsbiology.net:8080/proteomicsToolkit/index.html You can use these masses to casually match up the masses to the peaks in Figure 1, at the top of the page.
Figure 6.
|De Novo sequencing seems petty simple right? Well, before we proceed onto our first example we should learn some of the rules and observations that scientists have previously made that will help us when we start looking at real data.

Ramsey County Attorney
When John Choi announced his 2010 candidacy for county attorney in Ramsey County, he held a press conference at a low-income housing complex in St. Paul. Choi's family lived there when they emigrated from South Korea when Choi was 3.
He was elected and took office in 2011 after working a decade in private practice and serving four years as St. Paul city attorney under St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman. While in private practice at Kennedy & Graven, Choi rose to partner by age 30.
"It was hard to give up everything I had worked so hard to achieve in those 10 years," says Choi, regarding his move to public law. "I had to walk away from a shareholder's status. … But it was an opportunity to do public service and serve my community."
As city attorney, Choi led an office of 70 employees with an $8 million budget. "That's where I really found my passion for the criminal justice system and public law," he says. "I accomplished a lot of good things there. That got me thinking about running for county attorney."
Choi now leads an office of 325 employees with a $38 million budget. Since taking office, he has created initiatives and built partnerships to improve victim safety, increase offender accountability and intervene in the lives of children at the first signs of trouble
He took a leadership role among other metro-area elected county attorneys to revamp prosecution policies regarding juveniles trafficked as prostitutes. "We no longer treat these children as offenders but as victims of crime," he says.
When issues came up relating to how the
St. Paul Crime Lab handled narcotics cases, Choi and his counterparts in Washington and Dakota counties took decisive and transparent action to assure that justice was served for the affected defendants.
"Part of the role of a prosecutor is being a minister of justice and making sure that the public is fully informed about what's going on through transparency," he says.
Among other initiatives, Choi established a pilot program using GPS technology to keep victims of violence safer and better hold offenders accountable for violating no-contact orders, and he helped form the East Metro Crime Prevention Coalition.

Acne Treatments - Baking Soda
Using baking soda to clear your skin |
Baking soda is another home remedy for acne that frequently pops up in magazines and internet searches. It is very affordable. It deodorizes and cleans well. However, it is excellent for cleaning household items, not the skin on your face. I wish people would stop recommending baking soda because it really is harsh on your skin.
The common way to use baking soda as an acne treatment is to make a scrub. You can either mix a spoonful of baking soda (not baking powder) with water or add some to your cleanser. Other people like to use baking soda as a mask or spot treatment to help draw out any pimples.
People start to think, "Why bother spending money on scrubs and spot treatments when baking soda is so cheap?!"
Well, yes, baking soda is cheap and does make a very fine scrub, but it's so fine and the particles are so minuscule and jagged that it actually causes microscopic tears in your skin. Baking soda is also very alkaline, around a pH of 8, so when you're using baking soda as a scrub or mask, you're not only giving your skin microscopic tears, you're also ruining your skin's natural acid mantle (which is around a pH of 5).
I tried baking soda as a scrub and immediately after I washed it off, I have to admit I was very impressed. My skin felt super smooth and I was ecstatic because I thought I would never have to spend another penny on a store-bought scrub ever again! Oh, how I was wrong.
Baking soda turned out to be incredibly irritating. Even though my skin felt very smooth after washing with it, it stung like the dickens whenever I tried to put on moisturizer afterwards. At first I thought maybe the moisturizer had some acid or treatment ingredient in there, but even plain ol' Cetaphil, aloe vera gel, and eventually water stung my skin!
I had to give up baking soda because it was turning my face into a sensitive, red, dry, and very pimply mess. Baking soda looks very innocent, but I definitely would not recommend using such a harsh ingredient on your skin for acne, even if it is really cheap.

The usage of oil especially diesel oil as the continuous phase of drilling mud is widespread when drilling through sensitive producing formation and troublesome shale zone. Diesel oil is harmful to the environment, particularly marine environment during offshore drilling. Extensive legislation now exist in many countries to regulate this form of oil pollution. The used of palm oil derivatives could be considered as an alternative based fluid which is harmless to the environment. Tests have been undertaken to evaluate the characteristics of palm oil derivative as a base fluid in the oil base mud. The test results showed that palm oil derivative is suitable alternative to formulate oil based drilling mud with necessary rheological properties, compatible with existing mud additives and non-toxic to the marine life.

The Pennsylvania Chapter of AAPS has developed a program to promote medical savings account (MSA) plans to physicians and the public. The program consists of four videotapes and audiotapes of a speech by economist Merrill Matthews, Jr., PhD, edited differently for different audiences.
Full video (36 min.): This video presents the entire speech. It illustrates MSAs by analogy, describes the specifics of how they work, why doctors will like them, why patients will like them, what has prevented them from becoming widely used and what should be done to make them widely effective. It is most suitable for audiences interested in more extended information about MSAs, such as those attending medical educational programs.
Abbreviated video (16 min.): This version is sufficient to explain the concept of MSAs without the additional explanation or detail in the full version.
Video on why doctors will like MSAs (9 min.): This tape was developed for presentation at meetings of physicians where time pressure is significant, such as a hospital staff meeting. It includes only the section of Dr. Matthews' speech that describes the advantages of MSAs to physicians and graphics giving recommendations for the future.
Video for insurance agents, employers and employees (12 min.): It will likely be difficult for many physicians to find time to promote the idea of medical savings accounts to the public. Therefore the MSA committee established contact to work with a group of health insurance agents who believe in the value of MSAs and our project. Nevertheless, the Pennsylvania Chapter of AAPS does not endorse any specific insurance company or product.
Audiotapes: Audiotapes recorded from the soundtrack of the full or abbreviated version of the videotapes provide a less expensive, more versatile way to inform listeners about MSAs and the program.
Written material: Instructions for presenters and an informational master to be copied for handouts about MSAs for the audience will accompany the videotapes.

Oh what a cosmopolitan area the Illawarra has become!
The opening of the Spiegeltent in Wollongong Arts Precinct on Friday is testament to this, bringing some of Australia's top entertainers to town.
Merrigong Theatre Company wouldn't have pushed for the temporary venue if there wasn't a need.
No longer are Friday and Saturday nights only suited to 19-year-olds downing shots at The Glasshouse or getting kicked out of the Oxford Tavern.
Fast spreading through the region are trendy bars, hipster coffee joints, world music, live music for every age, hatted restaurants, cabaret, theatre, plus an array of children's entertainment and activities at your fingertips.
The people in our community have evolved to become an eclectic, cultured bunch.
Labourers, tech-heads, healthcare workers and office workers have a taste for a good espresso (or espresso martini).
They know good music when they hear it, whether it's reliving your youth with the Violent Femmes at Waves (great to see I was possibly one of the youngest at the March 25 gig) or rocking out to local U2 cover band Achtung Baby.
As a 30-something who's lived in four of Australia's capital cities in her lifetime (and a couple of regional areas too), I honestly believe we have got a lot going for us.
I'm really liking Jose Jones in Thirroul of late – healthy, delicious food and cool cocktails.
I'm tipping it'll do better than the defunct Cave nightclub and bar near the train station. (I probably went to that venue less than a handful of times after a birthday or Christmas party knowing it was a place I probably shouldn't be)
Jose, however, is kid-friendly or cool for double dates for dinner.
So tell me, what's your latest discovery in this beautiful place we live? Email me and I'll check it out: firstname.lastname@example.com

This is a story about cultural violence.
Eden Alexander is a camgirl and porn performer working in the Bay Area. In the early spring of 2014, Alexander went to the doctor after a bad reaction to some routine prescribed medication. Because she is a sex worker, the doctors allegedly dismissed her initial symptoms as evidence of drug use.
In fact, Alexander had a skin infection which, left untreated, ran rampant through her body, triggering an existing thyroid condition and sending her into a coma.
By the time this was discovered, it was almost too late- Alexander's organs were beginning to fail, and the infection had spread to her heart and lungs. She survived, but her slow recovery has left her in a great deal of pain, unable to work, facing rent arrears and medical debt. For now, let's not get into the intricate inhumanity of a national healthcare system which denies basic care to low-waged and freelance workers, where a routine medical problem can land you with lifelong debt. Let's just say that Eden Alexander nearly died, and has had her life ransacked, because she is a sex worker.
When the medical system and the state failed Eden Alexander, her friends rallied around to save her. It wasn't just the money- it was the outpouring of love and support, the public expression that hers is a life that matters, that she is valued and cared for. This is so often the way with marginalised communities: people who face discrimination in wider society hold each other up.
Together they set up a fund to raise money to cover the cost of Alexander's ongoing treatment and ensure that she does not lose her home whilst she is unable to work. Unfortunately, the crowdfunding company that was used relies on WePay, and because of her associations with the adult industry, WePay cancelled the campaign and told Alexander it was going to send the money back to donors. This wasn't money that was going to be used to make porn. It was money that was going to be used to keep one woman and her two small dogs alive.
WePay joins a roll-call of financial companies which have recently clamped down on their dealings with sex workers. This spring, banks across America have closed down accounts belonging to people working in the adult entertainment industry, or people suspected of doing such work: anything to do with porn. PayPal, Chase Bank and other such companies have all shut down accounts or withdrawn services to sex workers in recent months, leaving them unable to access their money, or collect payments and donations. Inevitably, this hurts independent companies and vulnerable individuals hardest of all.
Because she is a sex worker, Alexander, like many others, has been used to being a scapegoat, to being shunned, even by those who claim to stand up for women. Kitty Stryker, a writer and friend of Alexander's, has also had her crowdfunding income cut, this time by PayPal, because of her history of working in the adult industry. "People now can only find my page directly through me, which limits my ability to fund my writing and make a survivable living outside of the adult industry," Stryker, who is also a friend of mine, told me tonight. "It's literally killing us, this cultural abandonment of past and current sex workers. We're blamed for being sex workers, and stamped for life if we try to leave."
Because she is a sex worker, Alexander is no doubt also used to being told to find another job, a more respectable job. But when they try to make money outside the adult industry, that same stigma works against sex workers, preventing them from accessing any other form of support, even lifesaving medical treatment. That sex work taints you for life has nothing to do with the nature of the work and everything to do with the nature of prejudice.
Porn and prostitution are often discussed as academic issues, as if the people involved in their production were not real workers, struggling to survive. But to those living this reality, to the people for whom the adult industry is not the monster under the bed but the roof over their head, the community they work in, these matters are fundamental. It is a question of agency, of who is permitted to be human, to own their sexuality, to use it without shame – and sometimes is it a question of life or death.
One of the key demands of early feminist agitation around pornography and prostitution was that culture remember that real bodies and real lives were involves in the production of adult content. Today's activists and allies would do well to remember that in a different way. There are real lives and real bodies at stake when companies and governments scapegoat the sex industry for moral posturing, when sex workers and their friends and family are dismissed and debased and refused vital services.
After receiving the notice from WePay, Eden Alexander tweeted, "I've nothing left, no where to go, Every time I plead for help I just get hurt more. I can't live like this. I'm so sorry.". An hour later, she was taken to hospital in an ambulance. Her tweets were worrying enough that Maggie Mayhem, another member of the Bay Area adult community had already gone to be with her, arriving just in time to see the ambulance pull away. It is not currently known whether Alexander's existing condition has worsened or whether she has been hospitalised for another reason.
Ms Mayhem is currently looking after Alexander's two dachsund dogs, who she was able to rescue before they were taken to the pound (standard procedure in the Bay Area). The dogs are called Dallas and Sally Brown.
A statement just released by WePay reads:
"Upon reviewing payments starting May 15, 2014 WePay discovered tweets from others retweeted by Eden Alexander offering adult material in exchange for donations. This is in direct violation of our terms of service as our back-end processor does not permit it….We are truly sorry that the rules around payment processing are limiting and force us to make tough decisions.
After an online outcry, WePay expressed sympathy with Ms Alexander, and offered to support her in starting a new campaign – to make an exception for her, because people complained. Unfortunately, by the time the company reached out, Alexander had already been hospitalised. She is believed to be in a stable condition, but more details are not known.
This is the sort of story that often ends badly. Well, not today. Not if Eden Alexander's friends and supporters around the world have anything to do with it. Here is the reinstated donations page. It would be great if you could donate whatever you can spare to Alexander's new campaign. If the internet can match or exceed the $3k donations Alexander's friends initially sought, it'll send an important message. Community matters. Solidarity matters. Cultural violence can be resisted – maybe not every day, but there are days when resistance is possible. It would be fantastic if today could be one of those days.

New Instrument Quickly Examines Multiple Proteins in a Single Cancer Sample
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers have demonstrated a new instrument that makes it possible to detect and quantify multiple clinically important proteins in a single tumor sample using conventional staining. Currently, pathologists usually need separate tissue slices for each protein they want to examine, making it impossible to see how molecules interact within individual cells.
The new process is fast and automated - up to 180 tumors from different patients can be analyzed in an hour - and also provides more information than is available today to help therapy development and direct treatment, say a team of scientists led by Cambridge Research & Instrumentation, Inc. (CRi), in Woburn, Mass, which developed the method."This technology is designed to be used by pathologists to reveal new data that can help researchers develop targeted therapies, and physicians personalize treatment for individual patients," said Clifford Hoyt, VP and CTO at CRi. He presented the results at the AACR Molecular Diagnostics in Cancer Therapeutic Development meeting being held in Philadelphia, September 22-25.
Researchers say the instrument, which uses multispectral imaging, can detect how many of the cells in a sample of breast cancer display what quantity of any of four different receptors - progesterone receptor (PR), estrogen receptor (ER), HER1 receptors and HER2 receptors. "That might show us, for example, that 25 percent of cells express both ER and PR, 50% either PR or ER, and 25 percent neither."
Most pathologists today only stain a sample for a single marker, and two serial sections might show half of the first sample is positive for ER and half of the second sample is positive for PR, Hoyt says. "You wouldn't know from these serial sections that some cancer cells express both receptors, and that can have implications for treatment," he said. "This shows us complex protein expression and interaction patterns in a single tumor section." Even the most advanced microarray-based protein analysis being tested today loses this key molecular phenotype distribution information, Hoyt adds.
Breast cancer markers are just one example of what the instrument can read. "Pick any four stable proteins found in tissue and we can analyze a cocktail of protein markers all at once," he said.
Currently, researchers and pathologists use immunohistochemical staining to examine tumor samples using a microscope equipped with a color camera. Color cameras detect three visible wavelengths, red, green and blue, which mimic the human eye.
This new instrument uses a CRi Nuance(TM) multispectral imaging camera, which captures information from multiple wavelengths in the visible and near- infrared, an automated microscope, and novel machine learning-based software to extract data from images. This is an advance over purely visual analysis, or the use of color cameras, both of which do a poor job disentangling multiple colored protein labels when they are spatially overlapping.
"Our system looks at samples with 10 to 30 different wavelengths, for staining of up to four proteins using different colors," Hoyt said. "With this technique we can unmix multiple different labels from what would otherwise be a muddy mass of color."
In this study, the researchers, which included scientists from Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research and the British Columbia Cancer Agency, stained samples from 356 patients for, ER, PR and HER2 proteins, and then for PR, HER1 and HER2. Results of protein expression using the multispectral imaging were then blindly compared to results from visual assessments by pathologists on samples that were serially stained. According to Hoyt, agreement between the visual and automated analyses was "the same as we see among pathologists, which is a very good result."
The analysis shows which proteins are being expressed and the expression level. "It is a quantitative read-out, so it provides a very specific molecular profile," Hoyt said.

Check with the software development department for course registration deadlines, and software programming program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for UC Clermont College.
Businesses of all types have a profound need for talented software specialists. Programmers often start out with a bachelor's degree in computer science or software engineering, followed by intensive on-the-job training. Computer science (CS) degree programs may cover diverse programming languages, depending on the application involved. For example, the C# language combines the robustness of C++ with the advanced features of JAVA programming. The C# language is most easily compiled within Visual Studio IDE, a rapid-development platform. If you are writing a web-based application in ASP.NET, you will be required to code in C# or Visual Basic for the backend.
Software developers also need skills related to the industry in which they work. Developers working in a bank, for example, should have knowledge of finance so that they can understand a bank's computing needs. On the other hand, the JAVA language may be used to develop enterprise-level applications and accelerate the design of video games or iOS/Android mobile apps. By way of comparison, some large websites that make use of the Python language include Pinterest and Instagram. In fact, many CS students gain hands-on experience in software development by completing a business internship at a software company while still in college. The median annual wage for computer programmers was $90,530 in May 2017. Beyond major requirements within the software development department, you may consider Tennessee Technology Center schedule of courses as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Greetings All,
A fine suggestion was given to me to start a new thread on the same subject, since the first thread is already full of images and comments. (All very much appreciated, BTW) Of course, anyone wanting to comment on any of the images in the first thread, please do so...! There have been some wonderful contributions, again, appreciated very much !!!
So here goes,
Another from Earl Hangen's collection.
Pictured is the inside front cover of a bound copy of Canadian Checker Player, an excellent periodical , published by Manson Teetzel during the earlier years of the last century.
This is part of a bound set that includes volumes 1-3 in one binding, and volumes 4-6 in a second binding, for a total of two books. This two volume set was seperated after the sale of Earl's books, as, during the sale of Earl's books , the auctioneer, who did not know a checker book from a fish hook, was grabbing stacks of books and auctioning them off at random...(!)
He literally broke complete sets..... I got one part, and the other went to an antiques dealer/seller who purchased several books, for the sole purpose of re-selling them on Ebay.
I had spent every penny that I had, but it was not enough to get everything.....but, I kept my eyes on Ebay, and lo and behold, after 4 1/2 months, there it was.
So, these books were "re-united" after a several months seperation, and they couldn't be happier, as they sit snuggling in my bookcase.....
I do see a sig....possibly " W. Swope"..(?), I am not sure if that is correct. Even if it is, it is a name I am unfamiliar with.
The thing that makes me wonder is the stamping
This rings no bells to me, I wonder if this was a Checker Library from the past, or a general library of one individuals...?
Mr. Checkers, do you have any info on this...? Or anybody else...?
As always,
Comments welcomed, encouraged and appreciated !!!!!

The artist Chaim Soutine's still life paintings of animals, what I prefer to call his carcass paintings, can be unsettling, especially given the fact that Soutine was known to have never worked from memory, but rather used live, or dead, models for all his works.
Nearly all of Soutine's art can be jarring to the viewer for a variety of reasons; his use of color, his lines, his brushstrokes and overall style as well as his subject matter are startling, but after our initial response what are we to make of these works? And what is it that Soutine was trying to say?

Cameron to Make U.K. Energy Suppliers Charge Lowest Tariff
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron said his government will change the law to tackle rising energy bills by forcing companies to charge each customer at the lowest rate for their type of use.
"I can announce we will be legislating so that energy companies have to give the lowest tariff to their customers," Cameron told lawmakers in the House of Commons in London today. His office confirmed afterward that the measure will be in the Energy Bill, due before the end of this year.
The proposal wasn't contained in the draft Energy Bill published earlier this year, which focused on creating incentives for generating companies to replace and increase capacity.
Cameron's statement came after announcements over the past week of price increases by energy companies. Centrica Plc (CNA)'s British Gas, the biggest natural-gas and power supplier to U.K. homes, said it would raise prices for both gas and electricity by an average of 6 percent, and RWE Npower Plc said it will boost rates for power by an average 9.1 percent and gas 8.8 percent.
Cameron's commitment, given off the cuff in an answer during his weekly prime minister's questions session in Parliament, was a surprise to aides, according to two who spoke afterward. The government had been looking at how it could help consumers short of full-scale regulation, said the aides, who were not authorized to speak publicly on this issue.
'Very Concerned'
"You will have to wait for the energy bill to get the details, but we will legislate to get the lowest tariff," Cameron's spokesman, Steve Field, told reporters in London later. "We're very concerned about the cost of living."
The squeeze on household budgets caused in part by rising energy prices has been a bigger drag on the economy than government budget cuts, the Office for Budget Responsibility, Britain's fiscal watchdog, said in a report published yesterday.
Field said that only a minority of consumers were taking advantage of the possibility of switching providers to find the lowest gas and electricity prices. "We need to place more obligation on companies," he said. "At the moment, everything is down to the consumer. We feel we need to go further."
"Energy companies should make sure they're only adding to their bills the absolute minimum they need to add to continue investing in our energy supply," Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne told ITV News last week. "I would urge those energy companies to look again at any increases to see if they are absolutely necessary."
Pollution Rules
Oil and coal-fired power plants with 14 percent of Britain's capacity are due to retire from service by 2015, partly because of tighter pollution rules and partly because some of the facilities are nearing the end of their intended life. The government also is seeking to encourage new nuclear stations to replace the current plants that will age out of the system by 2030.
The opposition Labour Party called on the government to create a new energy watchdog with powers to force providers to pass on price cuts to the consumer.
"The cheapest deal in an uncompetitive market will still not be a good deal for the public unless we completely overhaul our energy market to break the dominance of the big six energy companies," Labour's energy spokeswoman, Caroline Flint, said in an e-mailed statement. "Until we see real action from the government, the prime minister's warm words in the House of Commons will be cold comfort to millions of families worried about how they will pay their energy bills this winter."

Richard had deadlines to meet this weekend, so I've been out and about enjoying the chilly weather!
On Saturday I cycled with the Tamworth Road and Mountain Cycle Club from Fazeley. Incredibly, within 15 minutes of cycling, we rode along some roads that were completely new to me. Thankfully it was a steady ride and so I kept up with the peloton. About two-thirds of the way, we stopped at a cafe in Roliston and then headed home. We cycled 35 miles in total and I learnt a few things about cycling along the way; so a great morning out. Much better than the afternoon, which was spent cleaning carpets!
To make up for my domesticated Saturday afternoon, on Sunday I met Katy and Amy in Edale for a run on Kinder. After some discussion, we decided to park at Barber Booth to avoid the car parking charge in Edale and from there we decided on a route which went onto the Kinder Plateau from Barber Booth, along Kinder edge to the east and then across Kinder Plateau on the famous footpath, which isn't really a footpath, but just a general direction to follow. This footpath 'leads' to Kinder Downfall, from where our planned was to run down to Swine's Rocks, over Brown Knoll, up to Rushup Edge, along to Hollins Cross and back down to Barber Booth.
The weather was fantastic; blue skies and cold, and the hoar frost was spectacular! We had to stop a number of times to take pictures! A good 3hr30 run was had and once we'd returned to the cars, we headed off to the Woodbine Cafe to warm up.

Walleye Bag Limits Will Increase on Some Northern Lakes
MADISON – Daily walleye bag limits will increase June 13 on 258 lakes in the Wisconsin Ceded Territory to reflect spring spearing harvest by six Wisconsin bands of Chippewa Indians.
A daily bag limit of two walleye will increase to three walleye per day on 93 lakes. In addition, 165 lakes will go from an initial bag limit of two or three walleyes per day to the state daily bag limit of five, according to Joe Hennessy, who coordinates the treaty fisheries management program for the Department of Natural Resources. Anglers should consult the 2008-09 Guide to Wisconsin Hook and Line Fishing Regulations, signs at boat landings, and the 2008-2009 Revised Ceded Territory Walleye Bag Limits pamphlet for lake-specific information.
"This is good news for sport anglers and for local and state economies" said DNR Secretary Matthew Frank. "Increasing bag limits after the spring spearing season — the time when Chippewa bands make most of their yearly harvest — gives sport anglers more opportunities and more reasons to head north for a great day of fishing on Wisconsin waters while assuring that the tribes maintain their harvest rights."
As part of a 1983 Federal Appellate Court decision affirming Chippewa off-reservation hunting, fishing, and gathering rights, the six bands of Wisconsin Chippewa set annual harvest quotas for off-reservation lakes in the Wisconsin Ceded Territory. To assure the combined tribal and recreational angler harvest does not exceed a sustainable level, the state sets recreational bag limits in lakes declared for harvest by the Chippewa bands.
An administrative rule passed by the state Natural Resources Board in 1998 allows the department to adjust initial bag limits annually to reflect actual spring spearing harvests and projected summer harvests.
Of the 152 lakes with bag limits less than five, one lake will have a bag limit of one walleye per day, 66 lakes will have a bag limit of two walleye per day, and 85 lakes will have a daily bag of three walleye per day. The six Chippewa tribes together declared a harvest of 51,683 walleye for 2008 and had harvested 27,856 as of May 19, 2008.

Budget Small Storage: Re-use Kitchen Containers
We had no budget for new household things when we moved into our apartment this year. At first this was really frustrating, especially with the clutter of 'everyday' objects building up. Then came the moment of inspiration – small storage containers we didn't know we already owned staring back at us from the kitchen cupboard.
A sculptural cake tin became a key catcher, a square cake tin holds bathroom products, the wire fruit bowl also serves as bathroom storage and vintage bowls hold jewellery and things in the bedroom – if we ever need to use them for food, we just wash them.
Re-appropriating what you already own is a fun way to create new looks in your space and definitely the most budget friendly! For small storage, the kitchen is the best place to raid.
What storage solutions have you re-appropriated from one room to another?

I've been hearing a few comments about these comics' backgrounds. I'm glad that people are pleased as I am with the liveliness they contribute to the strips, but I confess to feeling like a cheater in using someone else's art (masterpieces, no less!) to zazz up my own humdrum drawings.
(Of course, after having worked on a sprite comic for so long, I guess it's par for the course.)

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- WikiLeaks' founder claims he has the goods that could take down a big U.S. bank. But there's little sign anyone believes him.
Julian Assange, the founder of the site that has gained notoriety by publishing secret U.S. military and diplomatic documents, said in an interview this week that the next WikiLeaks target is a major bank.
Inconveniently, he didn't say which one, specifying only that it is "a big U.S. bank." Assange also didn't say just what sort of information he has that would be so damaging.
With Wall Street already up to its ears in scandal, market watchers reacted with a shrug.
"We already know the banks are grossly incompetent, can't manage risk and would be dead without taxpayer support," said Barry Ritholtz, a Wall Street money manager who rails on the bankers at his Big Picture blog. "What are we going to find in these leaks -- that free checking isn't really free?"
Like it or not, we shall soon find out. Assange said in an interview with Forbes that he plans to release "either tens or hundreds of thousands of documents" early next year.
The release, Assange said, will reveal "unethical behavior." He said he would stop short of calling the depicted actions criminal.
Assange said he seeks to provoke a full-scale investigation of the banks, along the lines of the probes that followed the collapse of energy trader Enron nine years ago.
"It will give a true and representative insight into how banks behave at the executive level in a way that will stimulate investigations and reforms, I presume," he said.
Wall Street, which is already the subject of numerous investigations and has a potentially massive problem in the form of rising scrutiny of its mishandling of mortgage documentation, did not exactly shudder at the news.
Stocks in the biggest U.S. financial firms, ranging from Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) to Goldman Sachs (GS, Fortune 500) and Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune 500), dropped 1% 2% in midday action Tuesday, on a day when stocks were generally lower and the European banking crisis was adding to worries about U.S. financials.
The biggest risk seems to stem from the prospect of another public black eye, along the lines of the hearings that Sen. Carl Levin, D., Mich., held in April.
It was at those hearings that Levin repeatedly questioned Goldman bankers about internal e-mails referring to a "sh---y deal" the firm had pushed on its clients.
But there's reason to doubt that documents showing more unethical behavior will have any effect, let alone bring down a bank.
The administration, after all, spent much of its first year in office trying to reassure the public and the markets that no big U.S. lenders would be allowed to fail.
That is why Congress pressured accounting standard setters to ease a rule governing how banks recognize losses, and why the administration carried through with the bank stress tests that allowed banks to cheaply raise more capital.
"Anyone who follows the banking industry knows these guys are essentially insolvent," said Ritholtz. "So we're not going to get surprised there."
The banks have paid the country back by shrinking their loan books in eight of the past nine quarters, while paying their top executives in a fashion that is, if it's possible, even more irresponsible than before the 2008 meltdown.
So what about the weapon Assange has used with some results in the military and diplomatic leaks, the acute embarrassment of the subjects? That doesn't seem likely to change the game for the banks.
It hasn't been a problem, for instance, through three years of revelations about banks pushing toxic derivatives on unsophisticated municipal treasurers and foreclosing on the wrong people.
"I'm not saying he doesn't have anything, but you have to wonder what else could really be exposed at this point," says Peter Cohan, a management consultant and author who teaches business strategy at Babson College. "I just wonder at what point people will tire of giving this guy all this free publicity."

Abstract– 0.54 Mb / in romanian
In the urgent surgery of present practice the diagnosis of acute pathologies from HPBZ are frequent. This paper includes the echography role in the improvement of diagnosis and treatment and it's position in diagnosis complex of the paraclinical investigations of acute pathologies from HPBZ. There were included in the study and echografically examined 500 pacients with acute affections from HPBZ and postoperatory complications from the same one. Thise pacients were included in 4 groups: 1st – acute cholecystitis; 2nd – mechanic jandice; 3rd – acute pancreatitis; 4th – complications of acute and postoperatory affections of organs from HPBZ. In the study the role of echography in the diagnosis and treatment algorithm of the studied affections have been demonstrated. The echography results are enough suffcient (80 – 98%) in the surgical intervention or on it's postponement have been detemined. At the same time using of another modern methods (RMN, CT, radiologic diagnosis with artificial inderect contrast and laparoscopy), wich are toxic and expensiv can be used only in the nonconcludent echography results (methorism, affections in the distal region of canal and of the initial stagies of acute pancreatitis). The echography combination with these methods represent 100% diagnosis establishment. The study encludes many conclusions with the practic value, wich can be used in the surgical clinics in the purpose of the diagnosis and treatment improvement of the pacients with the urgent abdominal affections.

After the previous days vertical fun we decided to go for something different and with the weather forecast looking a little less than firm on there being no rain we opted for a trip into the Ease Gill system. Wretched Rabbit to the Minarets and back via Four Ways Chamber was chosen to give Rich and Rach the chance to learn the flood escape route and take some picture to keep Pete happy.
A very early start saw us at the entrance just before early morning turned into early afternoon. Progress through Wretched Rabbit was accompanied by the sound of Richard's camera box banging against the walls. The climb up into Four Ways Chamber was located without drama and we soon found ourselves in the crawl to Stop Pot. Fortunately it was shorter than my knees remember. Once in Stop Pot we headed up slope to the foot of the fixed ladder (which actually is these days) and admired the ceiling before climbing up into it on the ladder. From Stop pot we went on to Main Line Terminus, turned right and into Monster Cavern using the correct seven point clambering technique all the way. From Monster we went on through Snail Cavern and at the start of Cornes Cavern were we bumped into a group doing the Lancaster to Wretched Rabbit through trip. We stopped and exchanged pleasantries including descriptions of the passage ahead of the other party: Distance, size and ease. (I'm not sure they believed us, we didn't believe them). At the far end of the majestic Cornes Cavern is the Minarets, a collection of three parallel passages all having a fine triangular shape with some impressive formations. Rich and Rach concentrated on photos and I concentrated on as many of the forty winks as possible.
When the camera card was nearly full of pixels we started for the exit with Rich and Rach leading. Several more photo breaks were taken on the way out which was achieved in good order. As we exited the clambers out of Wretched Rabbit we were caught by another party who were doing Top Sink to Wretched Rabbit. On the surface a further party of two was waiting on the surface for us all to get out of the way so they could go back in and continue their days prospecting.
Walking back to the cars we agreed that it had been a good weekend and we would all hurt the following day.

Miranda Lambert is up for five honors, including Entertainer of the Year, at the upcoming ACM Awards on Sunday April 7th at the Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas! And even as her career has exploded in recent years as one of the top women in country music, with awards, headlining concerts, critical acclaim, magazine covers, TV appearances — you name it — and of course, a growing catalog of hit records like her latest single, "Mama's Broken Heart," Miranda feels that in some ways — at least in terms of what she'd like to accomplish — she's still just getting started….
Miranda says that even though she's already accomplished in her career, she still never wants to stop challenging herself:
I absolutely LOVE Miranda Lambert's latest single, "Mama's Broken Heart" and crank it up all the way when it comes on the radio! Things are different for us 'edgy women'…and our Mama's are not always pleased that we are not quite as sweet and soft-spoken as they were after a breakup!

What does PEDA mean?
Definitions for PEDA
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word PEDA.
Peda, Pheda or Pera is a sweet from the Indian subcontinent, usually prepared in thick, semi-soft pieces. The main ingredients are khoa, sugar and traditional flavorings, including cardamom seeds, pistachio nuts and saffron. The color varies from a creamy white to a caramel colour. The word pera is also generically used to mean a blob of any doughy substance, such as flour or khoa. Origin of Peda may be credited to the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, and the variety from the city of Mathura in that state was considered to be the best. Simultaneously, another origin, practice of Peda making, some unique varieties, and spread of this tradition may be attributed to the province of Saurashtra of Gujarat and its centers like Sihor, Rajkot, Palitana and Bhavnagar as well. Tradition and practice of Peda making can be traced back to late 1800s in Sihor while it picking up momentum in 20th century. Along with Rajkot and Bhavnagar now, there are several distinct varieties of Peda, originating from different centers of Saurashtra. In Gujarat, Pedas are called and pronounced as Penda : પેંડા

Mechanical license
This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In copyright law, a mechanical license is a license that grants certain limited permissions to work with, study, improve upon, reinterpret, re-record (etc.) something that is neither a free/open source item nor in the public domain.
With regards to copyrights of musical recordings, there are at least two distinct copyrights. There is (1) the copyright of the composition, embodied in the sheet music (the "musical work"), which may include separate copyrights for lyrics or composition; and (2) the copyright in the sound recording, embodied as a "phonorecord" (Please note that the law considers ANY tangible medium capable of storing a recording to be a phonorecord. This includes MP3 players, CDs, 8-tracks, vinyl records, cassette tapes, or any future technology.) It is not unusual for one party to own the copyright in the underlying musical work while another, independent, party owns the copyright to the phonorecord.
A mechanical license (or simply, "mechanical") is a license the holder of the underlying musical work grants to another party to cover, reproduce, or sample specific parts of the original composition. A mechanical license does NOT give a third party the rights to sample from any phonorecord of the original recording.
For example: Puff-Daddy wants to sample the opening riff from "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. He contacts the copyright holder of the underlying musical work and gets a mechanical license to use all or part of The Police's song in his composition. He now has the right to reproduce all or part of "Every Breath You Take" in his new song. He cannot, however, purchase The Police's Greatest Hits, take the CD (or MP3 from iTunes) into the studio, pull the track off of the phonorecord, and sample the riff into his new song. For Puff Daddy to sample from the phonorecord of The Police's music, he must get both a mechanical license from the copyright holder of the underlying musical work, and a license from the copyright holder of the phonorecord from which he copies the sample. He is free to hire musicians to reproduce the Police's sound, but he cannot copy from any phonorecord with only a mechanical license.
Copyright law also allows for a "compulsory mechanical license". Under the law, anybody can obtain compulsory mechanical license without express permission from the copyright holder.
In the United States of America, most mechanical licenses are obtained through the Harry Fox Agency, Tunelicensing or EasySongLicensing.com. Other commercial agencies such as Loudr, and formerly RightsFlow (via the Limelight online mechanical license form utility), also issue compulsory mechanical licenses. On January 9, 2015 RightsFlow announced it would be closing its Limelight service. Harry Fox Agency and the other commercial agencies collect and distribute the royalties, plus they collect a per-song service fee of roughly $16.
A mechanical license can only be used after the original copyright holder has exercised their exclusive right of first publishing, or permission is negotiated.[1]
In American law, US Code Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 115(a)(2)[2] states: "A compulsory license includes the privilege of making a musical arrangement of the work to the extent necessary to conform it to the style or manner of interpretation of the performance involved, but the arrangement shall not change the basic melody or fundamental character of the work ..." thus preventing mechanical licenses being used to make substantially derivative works of a piece of music.
Musicians often use this license for self-promotion. For instance, a cellist who performed a musical work on a recording may obtain a mechanical license so he can distribute copies of the recording to others as an example of his cello playing. Recording artists also use this when they record cover versions of songs. This is common among artists who don't usually write their own songs. In the United States, this is required by copyright law regardless whether or not the copies are for commercial sale.
A mechanical license is not required for artists who record and distribute completely original work.[3]
In October, 2006 the Register of Copyright ruled that ring tones are subject to compulsory licensing.[4]
