A favorite conservative talking point is the notion that giving people who lose their jobs unemployment benefits makes them lazy and unlikely to look for work. Republican Senator Judd Gregg repeated that assertion on CNBC this morning. Happily, the well-respected economist Mark Zandi was on the air with him and tactfully disagreed.
But Republicans have done such a good job of spreading that nonsense that even Democrats have begun to buy into it. US Rep Kathy Dahlkemper (D-Pa.) gave credence to that half-baked idea in an interview with the Washington Post:
Many Democrats also are scrutinizing emergency spending on the economy. Dahlkemper, facing a well-funded Republican car dealer in the blue-collar district she seized from the GOP in 2008, said businesses back home complain that they want to start hiring but are getting few applicants because Congress has repeatedly extended unemployment benefits.
"Now, whether that's true or not, I'm still trying to decipher," she said. "But I think it's something we really need to look at."
(When I asked Dahlkemper's office about it, her press secretary, Marie Francis, declined to give me any additional details. She wouldn't tell me what kind of businesses, for example, saying that the congresswoman had been engaged in private conversations. Well, for heaven's sake, if these business have open positions they are going begging, don't they want workers to know?)
Since I live in the reality-based universe and I depend on facts and evidence, I'd be willing to change my view on unemployment benefits if the evidence supported the charge that they make workers less likely to seek jobs. But the evidence doesn't show that. Happily, my colleague Jay Bookman found some relevant research:
Economists at the San Francisco Federal Reserve decided to tackle the issue, and seem to have hit upon a pretty good way to approach it. As they point out, roughly two-thirds of the unemployed are eligible for unemployment benefits, because they held full-time jobs that they lost through no fault of their own.
However, that leaves a significant number of unemployed who cannot collect benefits. The ineligible may have left their jobs voluntarily, they may have been self-employed or independent contractors, they may have been fired for cause or they may be new entrants into the job market. For whatever reason, they are jobless, they want jobs, but they collect no unemployment benefits.
With two groups of unemployed — one that is collecting benefits, one that is not collecting benefits — you can begin to get at an answer. How long on average does each group remain unemployed? Put more bluntly, how big is this supposed "laziness subsidy?"
Here's what they found:
"As of the fourth quarter of 2009, the expected duration of unemployment had risen about 18.7 weeks for job losers and about 17.1 weeks for leavers and entrants, using the years 2006-2007 as a baseline. The differential increase of 1.6 weeks for job losers is the presumed impact of extended UI benefits on unemployment duration."
In other words, it exists, but it's not much.
They also note that extended unemployment benefits (now as long as 99 weeks in some states, including Georgia) keep people in the official job market who might otherwise become discouraged and quit looking (proof of active job-seeking is a requirement of collecting benefits.) Without benefits, those people would cease going through even the motions of job search and drop out of the workforce altogether, dropping the official unemployment rate from 10 percent to 9.6 percent.
Their conclusion:
Although economists have shown that extended availability of UI benefits will increase unemployment duration, the effect in the latest downturn appears quite small compared with other determinants of the unemployment rate. Our analyses suggest that extended UI benefits account for about 0.4 percentage point of the nearly 6 percentage point increase in the national unemployment rate over the past few years. It is not surprising that the disincentive effects of UI would loom small in the midst of the most severe labor market downturn since the Great Depression.
I don't think we should ditch unemployment benefits because people tend to stay unemployed a week and a half longer.

Like a good pain pill prescription- meant to be a band aid- not a life style. We are on the verge of seeing a massive renewal of the "American" work ethic of those who are tired of waiting on the government and large companies to provide jobs. We took our eye of the ball and watched millions of jobs go offshore.

Good afternoon all. Here we find the great divide between leftists and rationalists. Leftists affirm that (a) even if there is a sound economic basis to infer that time-extensions for unemployment benefits is causative of longer average unemployment periods, (b) it is still a good idea to lengthen unemployment benefits.
Certainly the growth of the welfare state finds its genesis in such generosity with other people's (taxpayer) monies. Taxpayers would likely prefer dissolution of the government welfare entirely, and to return that function to the church rather than creation of the entitlement, much less the continuously lengthening extensions to the benefits-drawing period.
Rather than subsidizing the production of indolent time, a better use of taxpayer funds would be a direct stimulation of private hiring. And even better would be allowing the capital generators to keep their funds in the first place, thus to expand the economy according to traditional conservative techniques. Thank goodness we have leftists who know better what we need than the market itself.

Ragnar- more of a macro issue. The US is facing low inflation and possible deflation as the emerging markets continue to face wage inflation. As the rupee and the yuan are forced to appreciate the American worker and therefore the service and manufacturing sectors will become more in play. The gov't should be the silent hand that keeps the every day Joe and Jane from being a cork floating in the economic ocean.

Ragner is right. You are equating those workers who have no-fault lost their jobs with a group comprised of Newbies and people who were fired. The latter class can't be equated with the former in any realistic sense. I also got a laugh out of your line "Since I live in the reality-based universe and I depend on facts and evidence, I'd be willing to change my view …"
I am not sure where your reality is, unless it is up Obama's backside.

Dear Thomas @ 4:55, while we do not disagree that government-manipulation of currencies should never lead to disinflation (nor inflation), we disagree on the cure of the that evil. More government intervention is unlikely to restore growth to the free market, just as it failed to do so from 1930 – 1945, and from 1973 – 1981.

The SFFR study is flawed because they probably know nothing about the work force. The group that doesn't receive UI benefits are generally the slackers and the losers. They work a while and then they quit or get fired. They get hungry or the relatives won't let them mooch any longer so they go find jobs. People who receive UI have stayed on the job long enough to qualify and have lost their job through no fault of their own. A comparison between these two groups doesn't say a dang thing about whether or not UI is a disincentive to find work. That may or may not be true but it is not supported by this study, as reported.

Hey Robbin Hood: Somebody worked for that money, paid taxes on it, and did it for their posterity. Why else do people work hard? And why penalize the hard workers so the indolent (lazy) can continue to sit on their hands, or their roofs (in New Orleans) for that matter?

Living off the government tit
Literally, a low life that is able bodied, yet lives off government assistance. I.E. Welfare, WIC, Food Stamps etc. etc. In the film Forrest Gump, Forrest asks Lt. Dan what he's doing now when he sees him for the first time after they arrive home. Lt. Dan, who has lost both legs and is confined to a wheelchair, states, "Living off the government tit." The phrase is a reference to Lt. Dan's receiving a monthly stipen for the loss of his lower limbs. In recent years, the term has a negative connotation and is often used to describe healthy welfare recipients that are able to work but choose not to because they are satisfied with their welfare checks for doing nothing.

well since Obama hates jobs and lied to us about the hasty stimulus package (if we don't spend now unemployment will get above 8%. It's now at 10%) what does it matter?

According to recent reports, the construction industry cut 62,000 jobs in October. Combined with 61,000 jobs lost in manufacturing and over 40,000 job cuts in the retail industry–the sharp rise of nearly a half percent in the nation's unemployed from September to October has many Wall Street forecasters scratching their heads–and many more Americans wondering what to do next.
So, what happens to all of these Americans who get forced out of their jobs? They turn to the only place they can for assistance: the government. There are numerous government programs designed to help those in unfortunate situations make it through their darkest days. While the government's not a golden goose–in addition to unemployment compensation–there are other ways you can live off Uncle Sam for a little while–until something better comes along.

5:21 pm
Now for the instructions….
May 24th, 2010
5:23 pm
Step 1 – Apply for food stamps so the burden of providing food for your family can be relieved. The amount you get depends on a number of factors, and while you may have to learn how to shop more wisely, the food stamps you get will help your family fend off hunger–and as a side bonus, you may learn new shopping techniques that will last long after you're off of government assistance.
Step 2 – Apply for TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families). TANF is a block grant provided to each state to disperse as needed. Once approved, your family will receive government funds to help you get through a temporary setback. This program is designed to promote job preparation and education in an effort to prevent families from becoming permanently dependent on government assistance programs like welfare.
Step 3 – Besides financial help and food-based support, the other primary concern for families in economic trouble is healthcare. Although a national healthcare reform plan was recently approved, it may take years before it gets successfully underway, so in the meantime, families can still apply for Medicaid. If you are a low-income family, but not an unemployed one, you can still get healthcare for your children through the government's Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
Step 4 – Apply for financial help for your utilities. For families in a low-income or unemployed situation, having their utilities turned off can be a final blow to their resolve and morale, especially in the cold winter months. Every state offers the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), and some even offer low-income telephone assistance.
Plus, for many states, individuals on utility assistance programs don't have to worry about being disconnected throughout the winter months, which run from November 15 through March 15.
Step 5 – If you have a child or children in school, you may be eligible for the National School Lunch Program, which provides your child a healthy lunch at a minimal cost. There are certain requirements, so check the link in Resources below for the program's guidelines.

Unemployment is a temporary solution. Even at maximum benefits of $330/week, I was motivated to get off my proverbial "rich butt" and find new employment. Collecting $2500/week at a job than $330/week on my couch seems like pretty basic math…..
May 24th, 2010
5:24 pm
From the National Bureau of Economic Research"
The results indicate that a one week increase in potential benefit duration increases the average duration of the unemployment spells of UI recipients by 0,16 to 0.20 weeks.

5:25 pm
Once again CT you dont state all the facts to try and make Republicans look like they think everyone who lost their job is lazy. That is not the case. No one that you mentioned is for disbanding unemployment benefits. They just think you shouldnt get them for 90 weeks after they lose their job because at some point the people who are lazy take advantage of the government by just receiving the benefits with no real incentive to go out anf find a job. This article is just par for the course for you.

Ragnar- one also needs to be careful in looking at history as "your" periods are pre internet- pre global economy. Look at how quickly Enron was able to disrupt the energy complex- the same can be said about what an India or China can do to sectors of the economy. Exchange rates reflect anticipated inflation. The cycle is now heading back "US"-

Hey Robin Hood. Why don't you earn your own money instead of wanting someone else's. What a looser.
May 24th, 2010
5:26 pm
Dear Ms. Tucker @ 5:14, yes, of course. If government diverts taxpayer funds into 12 weeks of unemployment benefits, the unemployed stay unemployed 10.5 weeks,. If government diverts taxpayer funds into 30 weeks of unemployment benefits, the unemployed stay unemployed 18.5 weeks. If government diverts taxpayer funds into 96 weeks of unemployment benefits, the unemployed stay unemployed 94.5 weeks.
Ms. Tucker, do you really want unlimited benefits? Why do you think government use of taxpayer funds is more rational than similar provisions by voluntary private support systems, such as churches?
May 24th, 2010
5:27 pm
Republicans did a lot towards limiting the size of government while they were in power. We should only focus on democrats since 'pubs did such a great job.
Oh, and if you didn't know, you pay your own unemployment benefits when you're employed, and receive those benefits when you're out of work.
May 24th, 2010
5:28 pm
Ragnar my old friend, of course as usual you're just plain (or is that Palin) wrong.
It is easy to sit comfortably and tell people that they should pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, but let me ask the question; have you ever been unemployed for an extended time? Have you ever needed a little help to get by?
Personally, I have. I didn't want to stay on it any longer than I needed to; and it certainly didn't pay all my bills. However, having a little cash flowing into my account made it easier to stretch my money until I could find something else.
Let me ask the question; why would people stay on unemployment (as their benefits start to expire) when they could find employment, which would give them longer term income? If I can answer my own question; most wouldn't. It is in people's own self interest to acquire long term stable income, and certainly not in their interest to exist for a few weeks on the "welfare state".
May 24th, 2010
5:29 pm
Dear Thomas @ 5:26, I respectfully ask if you recall why Enron was able to disrupt the energy complex. Surely you will recall the misbegotten effort of the loopy California legislature to legislate rates, thus giving Enron a potentiality for cornering the market? Overlord management of otherwise free people always produces the unexpected consequences, a la FNMA and FHLMC.
May 24th, 2010
5:30 pm
If the unemployed find work after 17/18 weeks then why do we have almost 10% unemployment? It seems to me that if these people can find work that fast then why can't the rest of them?
Exactly how many people have collected benefits for over 1 year? This article is a little cloudy.
May 24th, 2010
5:30 pm
CT- the lazy sat on their roofs in New Orleans? Really?
Yes. They were too lazy to leave when the government told them too. Now they are too lazy to work, because all you hear is that the poor people in NO need another bailout ($300M in healthcare known as the infamous Louisiana purchase for example).
May 24th, 2010

Dear leftwing @ 5:28, you err. I am objectionable in my harsh opinion, but I am correct in my notes on the macro-effects on incentive
May 24th, 2010
5:32 pm
Ms. Tucker,
Did you read the SF Fed paper? It's five pages long. At the beginning of the conclusion section they acknowledge that extended unemployment benefits increase unemployment duration. They say it added about 0.4% fo the increase in unemployment we've experienced in recent years. This equates to about 600,000 unemployed workers.
I can only imagine the liberal crowing we would have to endure if unemployment had fallen 0.4% or 600,000 Americans had gone back to work since the stimulus package was passed.
May 24th, 2010
5:33 pm
Ragnar @ 5:26, where did you come up with these statistics? Because I think you know they're factually not true. I believe there are 2 statistics; one for college educated and one for non-college educated. I believe the college educated receive unemployment for about 4 weeks (pre 2007), and the non-college educated receive unemployment (pre 2007) for about 13 weeks. I believe that these figures post 2007 are 5 weeks for college educated and the last I saw were 28 weeks for non-college educated.
May 24th, 2010
5:34 pm
Having been an employer in a manufacturing industry it was my experience that in times of high unemployment some who inquired as to job availability just wanted to have a signature attesting to the fact that they were "actively seeking work," a requirement while collecting unemployment. Sometimes when told that a job might be available the prospective employee decided it best to seek an employer who was not hiring.
May 24th, 2010

I always liked Ben Franklin's "if you want to end poverty, make it as uncomfortable as posiible." Subsidizing satellite TV and cell phones is not uncomfortable.
May 24th, 2010
5:36 pm
As g heathen said, people fired for cause or quit are not eligible for benefits, so let's dispense with that now and forever more. Also, the MAXIMUM amount for HIGH earners in Georgia is $330 a week, BEFORE taxes. The MINIMUM amount for LOW wage earners (those lazy ne'er-do-wells that I assume most posters' rage is aimed at) is $44 a week, BEFORE taxes. Check out the link below if you don't believe the figures. How can anyone actually believe that the "riches" from unemployment are somehow preferable to working?
May 24th, 2010

CT, they were too lazy to leave town when an evac was ordered…
May 24th, 2010
5:38 pm
Dear Leftwing @ 5:28, I do not mean to be unduly harsh, but the ever-expanding unemployment benefits are a symptom of the mindset that leads to the destruction of economies in the first place – that leftwing arrogance that says an overlord can manage the market better than free people making free decisions.
But for
(a) Nancy Pelosi's declaration that the government intended to abolish the "Bush tax cuts" (and thus suck more capital out of the private economy), and
(b) Harry Reid's declaration of intent to impose new higher carbon taxes on all of industry (effectively nothing but new taxes to create new slush funds, and
(c) President Obama's determination to impose $1 trillion of new costs on companies while simultaneously abolishing free right of contract in the healthcare industry, and
(d) Chris Dodd's determination that more regulations is just what financial institutions need to stimulate funding of private capital needs,
would every employer in the country simultaneously lay off as much of the workforce as could be spared? Make no mistake about the "cause" of the need for ever-lengthening unemployment benefits. The Ragnar cure, however, is to undo that which caused the problem in the first place.
May 24th, 2010
5:38 pm
I don't believe the argument is people are "lazy." The argument is unemployment insurance provides an incentive not to look for a job as hard. Am I lazy because I don't apply for job which requires more work for slightly more pay. No.
In some cases that is true and in some cases it is not. Let me say if someone is single living at home with very few debts. (I have personally witness this.) There is no reason to look hard for a job it is almost like a paid vacation. I have also known at least two cases where a person was getting close to retirement and started collecting unemployment without looking very hard for a job.
None of these is good reason to get rid of unemployment insurance because if people pay into a fund and collect it for a defined amount of time then it truly works as an insurance program.
Also, when the unemployment jumps to 10% it is not because people have suddenly gotten lazier.
May 24th, 2010
5:40 pm
Ragnar @ 5:31, I still hear the same old ideas from you; let the rich keep their money and it will "trickle down". Except that it doesn't.
And right now; we're not talking about job creation; we're talking about allowing people to survive until they can find a job. Big difference.
May 24th, 2010
5:40 pm
Dear leftwing @ 5:33, you are correct in so far as you recognize that I do not tolerate selective collectivization of the population to manufacture a justification to erode freedom for any.
May 24th, 2010
5:41 pm
Dear leftwing @ 5:40, "I still hear the same old ideas from you; let the rich keep their money and it will "trickle down". Except that it doesn't." You err – it always does. Whereas government dictation certainly does not.

The Stars of Oceania Luncheon is coupled with the Pasifika Energy Summit as a single event to provide a forum connecting traditional wisdom with modern knowledge. It is the strength of both traditional wisdom and modern knowledge that may help mankind preserve the only source of wealth that makes a difference: Mother Earth.
The Stars of Oceania Luncheon will recognize and honor traditional leaders from the Pacific who are also elected public officials or community leaders. The Pasifika Energy Summit will feature prominent speakers (including keynote speakers: His Highness Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Efi, Head of State of the Independent State of Samoa; Dr. David Korten, International best-selling author; and Dr. Stephen Schneider, Nobel Prize winner) and moderated panels of traditional leaders from the Pacific.
They will share their thoughts on the current status in the Pacific regarding global warming, traditional economics, excessive consumption, environmental degradation, near collapse of the earth eco-systems, alternative, renewable and sustainable energy, applications of modern technology, and the importance of traditional wisdom and guidance.
Participants will have the chance to connect with alternative energy companies to discuss solutions that are focused on the reduction of dependency on non-renewable energy for island economies. All proceeds from the Stars of Oceania Luncheon and the Pasifika Energy Summit will support Pacific Island students attending the University of Hawaii and graduate research development in the Pacific with an academic or developmental focus on the physical sciences, marine sciences, agricultural sciences, environmental sciences, energy sciences, information technology, business and engineering. (If you are unable to attend the Pasifika Energy Summit, we encourage you to support the Stars of Oceania Scholarship
Fund by purchasing Stars of Oceania Luncheon tickets for $60 or by donating directly to the fund.) To further benefit the Pacific Island Students Scholarship Fund, a silent auction will be offered at the event.

Very courteous, informative staff who were eager to help us with any problems or questions we had. Very clean room. Good breakfast selection, more than just the standard dry good, non-perishable fare. Great pool and outdoor lounge with poolside TV. Very pretty grounds, right on the Baron Creek. And the conditioner left my hair very soft and tangle-free!
Breakfast was very crowded, but that's to be expected on Labor Day weekend when every hotel in the entire town is booked to capacity. The A/C in our room went out intermittently, but it got fixed and we were comped a night because of it without even having to ask.
Mediocre 3.6
It is located near the downtown.
We arrived to leftover food in the fridge and food in a dirty microwave. The bed was horrible, the people at the pool were loud well after midnight each night as well as people fighting loudly. We awoke our last morning to the pipes making loud noises and a stopped up toilet. The people who served and cleaned the breakfast were kind...but the food was horrible and we all ended up sick and no working restroom the last day made for a horrible last morning. It was way over priced for the type of hotel and not worth the money. We had to go home to "get rest".

-EDIT: I remade this animation, check it out on my profile-
I revisited my old projects and found this...
I think this is the last of my forgotten flashes, It was done pretty fast and I know it could be better, but I'm lazy and just did it because I was bored, since it was just a quick idea I had at the moment, I just did it for practice, yet, It was done a long time ago, so, be kind. =P (Looks like lots of excuses for my lack of talent.)
Probably my next submission will be one of the new projects that I'm putting more effort than usual, since I already uploaded everything (worthy) that I had a backup, my next update will take a little long to happen... But it will be good (I hope).
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars May 11, 2011
Very good
I liked the animation and the history.
Good Work!
Rated 3 / 5 stars August 31, 2009
Not at all where I was expecting that to go.
Darn I was tottally expecting either a tragic ending like the man killing himself or an inspirational message of some sorts. HA! guess not. But I guess I liked it up to that point. I was actually feeling for the main character even though you were telling us what was happening rather then showing it... If it had a bit more actual storyline to it and a fitting ending I suppose this could be more then just a quick laugh.
If you ever attempt to flesh this out I would come back to watch it.

I didn't quite see that coming. Bravo! :-) I'd have done a bit more imagery of the violence and gore, though - but at least I got the point. :-)

Higher Education & Campus MinistryOrientation gets new look, new focus
Recipients of the 2005 issue of Orientation may not recognize it right away: the publishers have been "tweaking."
The new issue is full-color throughout and printed in a more streamlined size. However, it's still the same award-winning, faith-based magazine serving as a vital resource for beginning college and university students as they prepare for a new and challenging phase in their lives.
Published by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry, Orientation features practical articles on coping with change and campus life, spiritual reflections and tips on using the Bible as a resource in daily life, and fun features about music, movies, computers and other ways college students spend their time between midterms.
The magazine will undergo even more changes in 2006, when it begins publishing as an "e-zine." A printed magazine in the new format is still available for order at www.gbhem.org/orientation. From now on, orders will be taken exclusively at that Web address. Subscribers may click "How to Order" and choose their ordering method. The new issue will be available May 1.
"The 'new' Orientation was unveiled in 1978. Now it's time for the 'new and improved' Orientation," said editorial and creative director Terri J. Hiers. "Today's students are very comfortable in communicating and receiving information electronically, so in the near future, Orientation will be there on the Web for them as an e-zine."

I found bottle and neck than found bottleneck
I realized that my CPU fully consumed when I measuring data at 2Mbit with pySerial library. I use python because it allows super fast development speed. I tried with 9600 baud and see that my cpu is not using at all. Than I suspected about python's serial library performance.... I wrote new code at C++ and program gives me a clear 200KB/s. So controller supports it. Now set the point to 2,5 MB/s on async but it looks like communication capped at at 2Mbps exactly. I think that chip support higher baud rates on async but I am suspecting from Linux kernel drivers due capped speed.( got "ttyUSB1: 1 input overrun(s)" at kernel log )
Also I posted a message here and author says that he got 300KB/s with synchronous mode hack...
Thanks everyone for helps.
[edit]Yeah I am sorry for suing pySerial library and python. It's my programming fault due reading one byte per time. Reading 64 byte for each read call fix the issue on python. Thanks.[/edit]

I have my health. I have a job. I have no debt, and no dependents. I have a tiny bit of savings and a small retirement fund that I cling to.
But Wall Street is hungry, and our political leaders have shown whose side they are on. Business and government will work together to steal what we have.
I did not get here, to this tiny island of stability, alone. I owe so much to my brothers and sisters who worked hard for the ideals of DEMOCRACY and LIBERTY and FREEDOM.
And I will not stand by, silent, while any of my brothers and sisters falls through the cracks: the sick, the unemployed and underemployed, the kids who depend on us all.
I will not stand by while the One Percent who have manipulated our social contract to their vast favor leave the rest of us to fend for ourselves.
I will not stand for it.
And I am not alone.
I am the 99%.

Bands on the Run
Making music is an outlet and a passion for a lot of Hopkins employees.
Nothing is better than music
It has
done more for us than we have the right to hope for.
What is behind the impulse of human beings to come together to make music? Is it the desire to create something different and fuller than one could alone? The thrill of entertaining and connecting with an audience? The pull of being able to lose one's inhibitions on stage?
Yes, yes and yes.
Although there are, as one might expect, accomplished musicians by the dozens throughout Hopkins-pianists, cellists, vocalists, classical guitarists-there also is a cadre of rock 'n' roll bands whose members are just as zealous about their pastime as their classically trained counterparts.
Take Trish Caruana. By day, she is a clinical social worker on Hopkins Hospital's affective disorders unit, and a "top drawer" one at that, say her co-workers on Meyer 4. Her unit is a referral service for the very sick; many of her patients have attempted suicide. Caruana spends most of her time conducting psychotherapy with patients and their fractured families, trying to unravel complex interpersonal issues.
The work is difficult but gratifying, and Caruana is not thinking of trading in her career. But she's found an outlet, "a godsend to my mental health," that's the antithesis of working with her isolated population of patients.
Caruana took up the guitar in high school in the 1970s, playing folk Masses and coffee houses. But she set music aside while establishing her career, and didn't take it up again until her 30s. In 1997, she took lessons on the drums, then put up an ad in a bookstore hoping to form a band. Five other women responded, and they began practicing regularly every Sunday. Within a few months, the group, christened 9BobNOTE (a nonsense British phrase), played its first gig at Hopkins University.
"We had eight songs and played them all," says Caruana. "They fed us and paid us money. It was thrilling-nerve-wracking, but great to have all that adrenaline. It's fun to practice in the basement, but playing for people is a whole lot more fun."
Their sound is "eclectic, neo-60s rock," and they perform mostly original songs penned by Caruana and Kelly Lallo, who plays acoustic guitar. During the past five years, they've performed in clubs around Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and New York, as well as festivals. In 2000, they put up their own money to produce a CD, "Voice on the Machine," and by this August they'd saved enough to release their second, "Ride," using band earnings.
When the group lost its drummer six months ago, a co-worker told Caruana about a drummer named Joe Bienvenue, who happened to be a Hopkins psychiatrist specializing in anxiety disorders. She wrote him an e-mail to introduce herself and they arranged to meet. "He was very organized, yet very laid back, and he fit in immediately with everybody. Plus, he's the best drummer we've ever played with."
Bienvenue, who has also played in a band called the Psychorelics with Hopkins psychiatrists Glenn Treisman and Adam Rosenblatt, enjoys playing with a band as serious about its music as 9BobNOTE. "There are no weak links, no one just learning or crossing over on instruments," he says. "They're finicky about trying to get things right. Plus, Trish has a lot of energy."
Caruana does have dreams about "getting into much bigger venues with much bigger audiences" and uses her skills as a therapist to network as much as possible.
"The competition is fierce," she admits, "but it's also true in music that just one open door can make huge inroads. It's like being a gambler. You may go through 2,000 tries, but you keep pulling the slot and some day you'll get three cherries."
Corey and the Crawdaddies
Like many a teenage boy before him, Jay Corey, now an assistant director for special projects in Hopkins Medicine's communications and public affairs office, picked up the guitar not out of any artistic yearning. He just wanted to meet girls. His scheme worked, to a point, but several years later, the West Virginia native was encouraged to switch to bass guitar to showcase his talent. On the advice of an older musical mentor, he reluctantly put aside Van Halen and the Dead Kennedys to take a job with a country band.
It was hardly Corey's dream gig. But his mentor's counsel sticks with Corey to this day. "He said, 'You can go to your buddy's garage on Saturday night, drink your case of beer, play your three tunes, and tell people you're in a band. Or you can start playin' music. Do you wanna be a musician, or do you wanna pretend like you're one?'"
Corey was 18 ("I looked about 12"), in his last year of high school in Beckley, W.Va. ("It's south, it's mountains, it's down in there"), and just old enough to be allowed into the bars on the band's honky-tonk circuit. He was an oddity among the "grizzled strip coal miners" who made up the rest of the band. On his first night, playing from a stage encased in chicken wire, he witnessed a bar fight "that looked like it was choreographed by stunt men. Guys were being thrown across the pool table."
Corey was told, in the middle of the bass line for "Under the Boardwalk," to keep playin'. He did, and quickly the fights seemed a regular part of the scenery.
At West Virginia University, Corey and some friends formed Shank, Swing and the Divots ("None of us played golf"), a college party band famous for being the band at the No. 1 party school in America. After graduating with a degree in journalism, he moved to the big city of Baltimore, where he had never been but had always wanted to live. He got a job with an advertising agency where he was assigned to write ad copy and produce commercials. Whenever he needed original music, he turned to a jazz pianist, and soon-to-be friend named Kraig Greff.
Greff had an impressive musical background. For 20 years, he'd been on the road touring with the likes of Barry White, Diana Ross and Della Reese. Now he'd settled in Baltimore. In 1995, Greff held an Octoberfest party and urged Corey to bring along his bass. To Corey's surprise, Greff unpacked an accordion on which he was amazingly versatile. He launched into some polkas, but after 10 minutes, did an about-face into soul, and everyone was dancing. That was the genesis of the Crawdaddies.
From the beginning, the band was pushed by the accordion. On its promotional material it's billed as a "Zydeco-Swing, Rock N' Soul" band, but Corey just calls it "swamp rock," a band in the New Orleans tradition but which can't be, "because we're not from there."
The Crawdaddies, who also have issued two CDs with many original songs, are a regular fixture on the national college and festival circuits. They've shared the stage with the likes of Etta James, Joan Jett and G.E. Smith.
Corey plays guitar and rub-board in the band, and is also, accidentally, the lead vocalist. His looks-reminiscent of Michael J. Fox in the role he played on "Family Ties" in the 1980s-belie his deep, raspy voice. The five members of the band, he says, could easily make a living from their music. But they've chosen to confine their performances to weekends throughout the year, with a break in November and December.
"I've made good money," says Corey. "I've bought a house [a 140-year-old mill house near Ellicott City that he's restoring], I've put money away for retirement, but I like being home. When we're out, it's a blast. I have to play. But I want it to be on my terms."
Even though he still writes brochure copy and produces the occasional video or TV spot for his job at Hopkins, Corey appreciates how song writing is his only true creative outlet. "In advertising, you never let a creative idea get in the way of selling the product," he explains. "It's the client's buck, and you're there to meet their demands. When I go home and write a tune, no one tells me what to do."

Other Hopkins bands perform much more erratically. Wild Type, whose claim to fame is that most of its members worked in the laboratory of Hopkins' famous cancer researcher Bert Vogelstein, also started at a house party in Baltimore and once played regularly in bars in Fells Point. But the band of busy scientists is currently on hiatus. Likewise, a group of Hopkins graduate students, calling themselves Platypus Myth ("four guys with glasses who want to break away from graduate student labs to have fun playing rock 'n' roll," says their tongue-in-cheek Web site), and who have sometimes played with Wild Type, also are taking a break from their band.
Then there is Stevie V. and the Heart Attackers. They're the cardiologists who more or less spontaneously created a band to mark the opening of the Central Maryland Heart Center's cardiac catheterization lab located at Howard County General Hospital. They play "cover" (i.e., other people's songs), have no illusions about making a living from their band, and, in fact, put on a show only once a year. But they are crazy about playing their annual gig.
"We play everything from the 1950s to today," says Steve Valenti, associate medical director of the Central Maryland Heart Center, who originally formed the group with Hopkins cardiologists Lowell Maughan and Alan Heldman in 1997. Their selections reflect the musical interests of the 11 band members, so at one moment they may sound like the Grateful Dead, the next, the Benny Goodman Orchestra.
Although their first performance was at a VFW Hall in Ellicott City, since then, they've been the band of record for Heartfest, the annual fund-raiser for Hopkins' Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease. Over the past few years, crowds have swollen to 2,000, and the band has accompanied guest celebrities like Mary Wilson of the Supremes.
"That was amazing," says Valenti of Wilson's performance of "Baby Love" last year. "She was so sweet to work with. And when you're a professional it can be a little risky working with a band like ours."
Valenti himself is no musical slouch. He performed his first concert in sixth grade. As an undergraduate at the University of Maryland in the 1970s, his band, "The Nowhere Men," opened for Three Dog Night. And in 1995, he played on stage with Jimmy Buffett at Merriweather Post Pavilion.
To get there, he entered a guitar contest sponsored by a local radio station. To become one of six finalists, he had to bring his acoustic guitar to his office, shut the door, and play over the speaker phone. The night of the concert, all six finalists had to perform for the audience before the show. Valenti pulled out all the stops.
"I used to do martial arts," he says, "so I did some splits and kicks. You've got to get the audience excited."
Playing with Buffett that night "was like being in a different time and space-the lights, the PA system. We were running around laughing, playing 'Cheeseburger in Paradise.' That's pretty funny for a cardiologist."
As if the evening wasn't enough of a prize already, Valenti was presented with a gold- plated, $3,000 guitar with pearl inlay and signed by Buffett himself.
Soon, Valenti will begin to organize the annual Heartfest practice sessions, which start up to three months in advance of the January event. Their first "practice"-the process of selecting 48 songs-begins via e-mail. Then comes the difficult task of getting harried doctors, surgeons, nurses and other health professionals together "after work" in one room.
In the end, says Valenti, "people make it. We sound pretty decent."
Heartfest night is a high for everyone. "We play non-stop from 7:30 to midnight," says Valenti. "We dress in scrubs, hats and booties. A lot of the cardiology community is in the audience, people who've dedicated their lives to the field, and we're playing for them. So it feels great to give something back. It makes Heartfest very personal."

Randell shakes his head. Poshe's response to Velastri will effect the solidity of the team, and its effectiveness in battle. When called upon, will there be any animosity? Are my new compatriate's professionals, or premadonnas. Will a team member come to my aid when needed most, or leave me to fend for myself because of some percieved greivence?
Time will tell. Hopefully we all live long enough to find out.
For now, we might as well get this show going.
With a wink to Velastri and Shard, he says to Korva,
Maybe we should move out. Im thinkin Shard might ware a hole in the floor if we delay any longer.
He gives Shard a wide toothed grin and a strong pat on the back as he walks out to the door.

"Indeed, Randell." She follows after the other dwarf into the courtyard and waits a moment for the others to catch up before (hopefully) following the tout to the Aerie.

"I probably should use a different tongue... I wouldn't want an answer from another plane would I? Yes, thank you for the advice." Posh offered Velastri a wink.
In Celestial to Velastri (or whoever speaks it)
"I shall try to refrain from the speech of the more violent planes. I do hate saying anything halfway ugly in such a beautiful tongue as this though."

Velastri frowns, but hides a chuckle. The gnome was a troublemaker, that was for sure, but he did have quite the sense of humor. "You might try Undercommon. I've found it to be an excellent language for curses, and sufficiently uncommon, even among scholars, so you can keep your oaths mostly to yourself. And if you don't know it, I can take some time to teach you on our nights of waiting between jobs. Assuming no one objects that can understand that language."
The half-elf continues on his way to and out the door.

Posh smiles widely and offers a slight bow (he's a gnome, how low could his bow be?). "Well if we must go we should hurry. I don't want to miss dinner."

As was customary for the end of the day, Lucious would undoubtedly arrive only to see his new employees off to their first case. His timing as impeccable as ever, the Magistratus was fortunate enough to catch one and all of his Investigators before the two Touts could make off with anyone. He questioned the touts briefly, reviewed the messages and nodded in agreement to the division of assets. Holding the vellum aloft, he stated simply, "The Case of the Eerie Aerie." He smiled, then returned that paper to its former possessor. The parchment was similarly proclaimed, "The Case of the Stoned Dude." Here, his grin was broader.
He was an odd man, to say the least. Seemingly kind and gentle, he had a reputation which belied any such nature. A swift and powerful politician with people in all the right places, Lucious may have reached his venerable years but had assuredly lost niether his spark for justice nor his love of adventure. "I'll remain here for a bit, should yet more Touts appear." He offered sincerely as his Investigators parted ways and followed their Touts.

As the last of the echoing notes died off from the choral invatation of the greeting of the dawn for the spring equinox was drifting away, Gerard wiped the tears of rememberance of his past and re-birth to his being of now. He watched as the last of the priests and priesteses filed out of the chamber, joyful laughter amoungst them all. He exited without much interaction as the days events were running through his head.
The memory of the interview was still fresh in his memory as he walked the streets of the early dawn, his mind ever watchful of possible chances to show kindness to a person in need. His arrival was un-noticed by any save the people who were in the service of the manse, though he probably was mistakened for the same as his clothing was simple in attire on the outside, his vestaments wrapped to guard aginst the morning chill.
After several hours of meditation on the third day of his employment, Gerard heard a commotion. He was in his vestaments and in the middle of a prayer from his prayer book when he heard the voices rise and fall as a melody within a harmony. He sighed at the thought that he was in the middle of such a solum prayer, but he carefully closed and stored his prayer book, while prayeing protection over it, he and those he was to be with. Time for introductions.
Walking down the stairs, he saw the group all preparing to leave, he was in his travel clothing with his weapons and armor donned and his travel clothining donned prior to walking down.
"Greeting my lord", he says to the Magister, "What are your orders?"
The Magister points to the group going to the collage and says that is his order for today.
Gerard silently bows and follows the group...[move] to the stoned collage dude[/move]
OOC: sorry for all of the typos. I was at a public computer at a coffee shop when I origanlly typed this post and was hurried.
