My two best friends and I went to see Ed Sheeran last night, and it was hands down the most amazing concert I've ever been to. The concert was a part of a benefit for Musicians On Call, a charity that brings live music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities. 100% of the ticket proceeds were donated to that cause.
It was held in a small banquet room in the upstairs of the Hard Rock Cafe, and there weren't more than a couple hundred people there. Reasons I love Nashville: big stars like Ed Sheeran, playing in our small, intimate venues. It was a very up close and personal show, and his musicianship is absolutely stunning. I wish I could play my guitar like he does — it was incredible. That Brit knows how to put on a show.
He played for over 2.5 hours, and towards the end of the show, he came up to the middle of the floor and hopped on top of a table and did an a capella song, and then walked around us all. I locked eyes with him so hard I thought I was going to collapse.
Anyway, just another normal Monday night in Nashville.

I cannot believe I've been keeping up this pace for almost the entire month now. I don't think I've written this much in years, even if it is just a little bit everyday. It feels good, good enough that I'm going to try and keep up a similar pace even when the month ends. Not everyday mind you, no way, this shit is insane, but I really am going to try and update this site at least twice a week starting in August.
And I'll hopefully someday remember that I have another site and write stuff there again. Actually, I have two major projects planned for that site, I just need to motivate my lazy ass to actually write them. They involve, like, work and stuff though, so it's a little harder than me just rambling on about 80s dance remixes like I tend to do here. Here's hoping I can put them together tough. More people need to hear my complex and involved thoughts on Yes.
I want to review every Yes album. I don't know why. I don't even like Yes that much.
Was (Not Was)
How The Heart Behaves (12″ Vocal Mix)
How The Heart Behaves (Bonus Rub)
How The Heart Behaves (Club 7″)
How The Heart Behaves (That's How the Bollerhouse Behaves Mix)
Glad I can find second-rate remixes my 80s also rans in Japan as well as America. I bought this in a Disk Union in Chiba, I wish I knew how the hell it ended up there. Although now that I think about it, Was (Not Was) is the kind of weird-ass bizarre band that would become popular in Japan, especially in the 80s, so I guess that I shouldn't be all that surprised that I keep seeing their singles turn up here.
Janet Jackson
I Get Lonely (TNT Remix)
I Get Lonely (TNT Bonus Beat Remix)
I Get Lonely (Jam & Lewis Feel My Bass Mix)
I Get Lonely (Jason Vs. Janet – The Remix Sessions – Part 2)
I Get Lonely (Jason's Special Sauce Dub)
These have been sitting on my hard drive for over a year now, don't know why.

The perception of many frustrated Braves fans is this: Their team went down in flames in September and hasn't made any roster additions so far this winter, while the rest of the NL East has improved.
The first part is correct – the September collapse was epic, a 10-20 meltdown by the Braves that allowed St. Louis to erase a 10-1/2-game deficit and overtake Atlanta on the last day and win the wild card. And they've made no additions of note since.
But how many NL East teams have actually gotten better? Let's examine.
Miami and Washington look significantly improved over last season. The Marlins went on a spending spree and the youthful Nationals get back ace Stephen Strasburg for a full season, recovered from elbow surgery. They traded on Thursday for starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez from Oakland, upping the ante.
The Braves' only moves so far were the salary-dump trade of pitcher Derek Lowe to Cleveland; picking up a reliever in the Rule 5 draft; and not

The 2002 Benchland Select Cabernet Sauvignon displays a complex, seductive aroma of ripe blackberry and plum fruit augmented by scents of tar, coffee and sweet oak. On the palate, the wine is full-textured and lush, with rich plum, black fig and cocoa flavors supported by smooth tannins. Boasting excellent structure and balance, this delicious Napa Valley Cabernet is delightful to drink now, but will handsomely repay another 7-10 years of cellaring.
In 2002, Napa Valley enjoyed a long, mild growing season of consistently warm days and cool nights, with just a few manageable heat spikes in late September and early October. With an expectation of healthy yields, many growers significantly thinned their crops and pruned shoots and leaves extensively to guarantee the vines put all their energy into ripening the remaining grape clusters, ensuring highly concentrated, complex fruit flavors. Cakebread Cellars further maximized grape quality by using advanced soil moisture management techniques to precisely calibrate the amount of water required by the vines at critical junctures throughout the season.
"Even at age ten, the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Benchland Select (86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Malbec) is reserved, displaying a deep ruby/purple color along with hints of plums, sweet espresso roast, subtle toast/smoky new oak and a darker black currant note. Medium-bodied and elegant, with sweet tannin, copious layers, and a long, intense finish, it tastes more like a 3- to 5-year-old Napa Cabernet rather than one that's a decade old. It should improve over the next ten years and last for 30 years.Rating: 91+"

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making.

Car discovered in Appomattox, human remains inside
Published: June 26, 2010
Article Tools
Chesterfield County police and divers are in Petersburg Saturday to recover a car that had been discovered in the Appomattox River, with human remains inside.
Chesterfield County Police Lt. Jason Zaccarine said around 3 p.m. that it would likely be several hours before crews could recover the vehicle.
"After that we'll try and determine who it belongs to," Zaccarine said. He said that forensics investigators would also begin to investigate whether or not a complete set of remains was in the car once it was out of the water.

Hey! This is just a short PSA about weight I guess?
I don't mind or care about people's weight as long as they are healthy.
I try my best to be, and think I am, accepting of everyone no matter their size.
But when people say that it's gross or "conforming to what society wants" to be skinny it's really offensive! I am glad you love your curves and I love them too! But if you could not be rude to people that are skinny that would be great because doing so is just like skinnier people being rude to larger people.
I recently saw the whole thing about Victoria's Secret doing the "Love your body campaign" and someone said "Pfft more like love your bones. Why are these models so skinny? It's disgusting." and that kinda offended me a lot?
I am naturally small and skinny and it's not like I'm trying real hard to stay this way. I would honestly like to gain a little more weight, but it's hard for me!
I'm not very good at putting my thoughts into words and I really hope I don't offend anyone because I don't mean to, but basically, don't judge people for being skinny or wanting to be skinny, just as you wouldn't judge a curvier person for being curvy.
Thank you.

NEW YORK, NY (LEARFIELD-WSAU) The Marquette men's basketball team was one-and-done at the Big East Conference Tournament, losing to Xavier last night 68-to-65 in New York. The loss appeared to eliminate any hope for an N-C-A-A Tournament bid for the first time in Coach Buzz Williams' six seasons with the Golden Eagles. At 17-and-15, Williams now hopes Marquette can get an N-I-T bid on Sunday night. In his words, "I want to keep playing." Marquette had a one-point lead midway through the second half against Xavier. The Musketeers then went ahead for good with a 10-to-3 run. Marquette lost despite shooting 58-percent. They committed 15 turnovers, and did not get to the free throw line nearly as much as the Musketeers. The Eagles hit 8-of-14 from the stripe, while Xavier was 17-of-23. Justin Martin scored 19 points to help the third-seeded Musketeers improve to 21-and-11. They'll advance to tonight's Big East semi-finals against Number-two Creighton. Deonte Burton scored a career-high 23 points for Marquette. Todd Mayo added 21.

WASHINGTON — The United States has concluded that the Syrian government used chemical weapons in its fight against opposition forces, and President Obama has authorized direct US military support to the rebels, the White House said Thursday.
''The president has said that the use of chemical weapons would change his calculus, and it has,'' said Benjamin J. Rhodes, Obama's deputy national security adviser. Rhodes said US intelligence had determined with ''high certainty'' that Syrian government forces have ''used chemical weapons, including the nerve agent sarin, on a small scale against the opposition multiple times in the last year.''

Couples fight. Couples make up. Couples stay together. Couples break up. That's what couples do.
For as bad as an argument can feel in the moment, it's important to keep your wits; to remember that you are arguing with your partner – not the guy that elbowed his way onto the crowded train; you are arguing with the person you love.
I've often said that a couple can be judged not by their best moments but by their worst. How a couple fights and makes up – or, adversely, fights and breaks up – really shows the inner workings of their relationship. It's in the "getting through it" – the communicating, apologizing, and forgiving – where a couple builds trust and confidence. I believe, it's in that place where love is ultimately strengthened.

The problem with disruption is that it's so… disrupting. This is also what's so attractive about it. The important question is what's on the intended receiving end of that disruption. If it is your competitors' business models and market positions, OpenCL provides a remarkable lever for achieving those objectives.

Standing Up to Old Bullies
Wow, that's a powerful poem. What happened after you posted it?
Things went absolutely nuts. One of my classmates decided she wanted to get me out to California for our 25th reunion, so they raised enough money to fly me there. I couldn't believe it, but I told myself, Okay, I can do this.
When they were raising the money, somebody mentioned it to the news media in San Diego. So when a reporter called, I didn't think much of it really, so I did a phone interview with them. The next thing I knew I got calls from all over the place—I even had the Oprah show call me.
Then Arnold Shapiro from GMC TV called me and suggested an appearance in which I meet and confront my classmates and talk to them about forgiveness. I'd seen some of his shows and knew they were quality, so I agreed. My kids were like, "Mom, you're a celebrity!" but I thought, Oh my, let me curl up under my rock where I belong, okay?
What was it like to go back to your high school after 25 years?
At first I was nervous and shy; I didn't know what to do. Finally I said, Forget this. I'm just gonna open up and go with it.
I actually had classmates come up to me and hug me—people who'd been snots to me in high school. A lot of them knew I was coming because they'd donated money to fly me out. It was amazing; at the end of the evening I walked out feeling a big weight lift off my shoulders. It was great.

I remember Lynda in my 5th grade class in our hometown, Escondido. She was picked on every day from students and I remember thinking, "those kids are so mean." I was so shy as a kid, and I'm just so sorry that I never stuck up for her. She was so much more outgoing than I was at that age, but you just don't know what others are going through. I was going through my own pain of dealing with a sibling drowning and didn't see Lynda's pain. I'm truly grateful for Lynda and for the amazing grace and forgiveness she has embraced through Christ our Savior. Your sister in HIM! Lori Blakeborough

Chris Kaman is a bit of a weirdo. If you follow him on twitter, you know that he hunts, and does a lot of other strange things. Robert Sacre is another center for the Lakers, and he is a little on the "fun" side as well. He's known more for his bench dances than he is on the court, but nonetheless both these guys are characters. Well, they have teamed up to become a super team of weirdos, and they started out with buying a cow, according to ESPN LA:
A couple of members of the Los Angeles Lakers took it to a whole other level by buying a bovine. That's right, Chris Kaman,Robert Sacre and Lakers strength and conditioning coach Tim DiFrancesco bought a cow.
DiFrancesco, who has picked up the nickname "Grass-Fed Tim" around the team because of his belief in the health benefits of eating grass-fed beef, came up with the idea after connecting with a farm that raises grass-fed cows down in San Diego.
Kaman is getting half, 200 pounds, while Sacre and DiFrancesco are getting a quarter, 100 pounds, each.
"I had to go to a Best Buy to go buy me a 15 cubic foot freezer," said Sacre, who estimated that the freezer and the beef will end up costing him about $1,300 combined. "It's, uh, it's intense."
So there you go. This isn't a live cow, but it's still a little strange. This is life for the Lakers now. Frankly, I like this team better than last year's team.

Just when things started to finally look up for the Devils, they get hit by mother nature (eighth winter storm in the past month and a half), and now a threat from Brick City Hockey LLC could force the sale of the entire team.
New Jersey Devils Chairman/Managing Partner Jeff Vanderbeek released the following announcement on Tuesday.
"As Managing Member of the New Jersey Devils, it is not my desire to sell the team. My partner, Brick City, and I have different visions for the franchise. While Brick City has a right, under our partnership agreement, to explore a sale and Moag and Co. has been retained to assist in these efforts, I anticipate maintaining a controlling interest."
Brick City Hockey LLC's President Mike Gilfillan released his own statement as well:
"Brick City has exercised its contractual rights under its partnership agreement with Jeff Vanderbeek to cause a sale of the entire team and arena rights, subject to certain terms and conditions. We are at the beginning stage of this process and Moag and Company has been retained to assist in those efforts.
"Our goal was to use professional sports as a catalyst for economic development in Newark by constructing a state of the art arena for the teams as well as for concerts and family shows.
"Brick City feels we have accomplished that objective with our partner Jeff Vanderbeek. The arena and the teams playing here have also attracted more people to come back to the city in an ongoing effort to restore pride, sports, arts, culture and business to this beautiful city."
While forcing the sale of the team raises a red flag for Devils fans, the story doesn't end there. The City of Newark has come into the picture as well.
Things don't look so hot there either.
The City of Newark is currently in litigation with the Devils over back rent as well as an issue over revenue sharing. Currently, the City of Newark is seeking $3.5 million in back rent from the Devils. The team has been withholding rent over various issues with the facility (including no heat, faulty construction of the building, etc.).
But the recession has also given the City of Newark major financial issues which makes legilators seriously consider the sale of Prudential Center. Until the back rent issue is resolved, they cannot sell the building in order to recover their costs they put into the building of the facility (they believe that a sale might bring in roughly $200 million for Newark for the $375 million facility).
The City of Newark is currently $40 million in the hole and expected to pay out $125 million to bondholders in the next few months. They have already sold multiple government buildings to cut their deficit. The sale of Prudential Center looks more and more attractive to political leaders every single day.
The four-year old facility has been turning a large profit, ranking 24th worldwide in ticket sales — 11th in the US — beating out their previous home The Izod Center (formerly Continental Airlines Arena), according to Pollstar. Venues Today has placed them in 13th place. The figures from Pollstar do not include 75 games played by the New Jersey Devils, New Jersey Nets and Seton Hall. Pollstar also does not include certain events like wrestling and various fighting matches.
Newark's Prudential Center stands to make a profit for any owner. That is, if they're willing to hold onto the investment. The City of Newark is looking to recuperate their costs as quickly as possible to fix their major debt issues, rather than letting the investment grow. Thousands of city employees, including firefighters and police officers, have been laid off due to the recession. Newark has become desperate.
The Devils face threats of being completely sold outright, as well as having their arena sold out from underneath them by the Newark Housing Authority. The back rent is the least of Newark's financial problems.
Throw in the dwindling ticket sales for Devils games due to the horrendous winter they have had, it looks like they could use a fresh new start.
The summer of Kovalchuk was only the beginning of the bad luck the Devils were to face. It's still ongoing, even though they are 7-1-1 in their last nine games. Just as they have finally turned things around, they are struck with news of Brick City possibly forcing the sale of the team.
Brick City's involvement was solely to invest in a team that could help turn the City of Newark around. Apparently, the Devils and the new arena have done just that. Who knew that a recession could worsen the City of Newark's conditions even further? If it wasn't for the Devils and Prudential Center, things could have been much worse.
Both Vanderbeek and the owners from Brick City have been at odds for the last few years. The news of a possible sale has been leading to this moment for some time now.
New Jersey Devils vs. Ottawa Senators, 2-1
Only 7,218 fans made it out to Prudential Center on a night where an ice storm was expected to hit immediately following the game. The Devils offensive power from the blueline all the way to the frontlines barreled down upon Senators goalie Robin Lehner. The rookie faced 33 shots, and only allowed two goals.
Nick Palmieri was the first to best him just 35 seconds into the second period. But the Sens had a huge chance later in the period when Anton Volchenkov headed to the penalty box at 3:17, followed by Dainius Zubrus at 4:59. The two-man advantage finally gave Ottawa their first goal at 5:09 from Alex Kovalev.
Zubrus popped one up over Lehner's shoulder at 14:17 in the final stanza to give the Devils their 2-1 victory.
Ottawa's offensive power was lackluster as they only were able to generate 16 shots on goal. In the first two periods, the Devils dominated the puck possession battle as the Senators were only able to generate two shots in the first period, and four in the second.
This marked the Devils seventh win in nine games, but they are still 20 points away from the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. With 32 games left in the season, the Devils would need to win almost all of their games from here until the end of the year in order to weasel their way into that last and final spot in the East.

The issue is that the modern ruling elites don't want guns in the hands of individuals. But the Constitution When someone(s) attack my family I want to be just as, or better armed than they. What you people on the left (nanny state socialists) fail to comprehend, is there is a difference between bad, evil, people on one side, and responsible people who desire to protect themselves on the other. All reasonible persons believe a person has a right to life and a right to self preservation and protection. But despot, tyranical rulers do not share that belief. They fear the people with the power to over-throw them and will not stop until the people are helpless.

The Impact of Legal Status on Immigrants' Earnings and Human Capital: Evidence from the IRCA 1986
AbstractThis paper analyzes the impact of IRCA 1986, a U.S. amnesty, on immigrants' human capital development and labor market outcomes. Because of IRCA, the 1975- 1981 arrivals were all legalized by 1990. However, many of the 1982-1986 arrivals remained illegal. Using the California Latino immigrants in Census 1990, I find that the 1975-81 arrivals on average outperform the 1982-86 arrivals in men's wage, women's labor force participation rate, and English-speaking ability. This finding is not a general trend of labor market conditions, because the analysis using refugees and U.S.-born Latinos, which are two comparison groups without legal status issue, indicate no difference in outcomes between pre-1982 and post-1982 cohorts.

APPENDIX C: Sample Announcement for Nominations
The 2004 APHA Statistics Section Council asked Dr. Craig D. Turnbull to produce a Procedures Manual for the Section's Spiegelman Award Committee because the activities of the previous 1970-2004 Spiegelman Award Committees were never chronicled, and the Statistics Section Council believed that the procedures needed to be documented. Dr. Turnbull had experience both as a Statistics Section Councilor and as a Spiegelman Award Committee member and was appointed by the 2004 Statistics Section Council to serve a one-year appointment on the nine-member 2005 Spiegelman Award Committee). The manual produced by Dr. Turnbull was reviewed at the Statistics Section council meetings at the 2005 APHA meetings in Philadelphia and was officially implemented beginning with the 2006 Spiegelman Award selection. The procedures described in the Manual prepared by Dr. Turnbull were used by the Spiegelman Award Committee, to select the 2005 Spiegelman Award recipient.
The information in the 2005 Manual was based on information from the collective memories/inputs (both written and oral) of former Statistics Section Chairs, Spiegelman Award Committee Chairs, previous Spiegelman Award recipients, and various other Members of the Statistics Section. Dr. Turnbull also incorporated materials from his own experience as a member of the Spiegelman Award Committee and the Statistics Section Council. The original reference(s) for some of the entries contained in the 2005 Manual were either not available or fully remembered by the source(s) of the information.
The 2005 Manual was revised in November 2010 to fill out the section on the history of the Spiegelman Award and to reflect changes in the composition of the Spiegelman Award Committee approved by the Statistics Section Council at the 2010 APHA annual meetings. Further edits were completed in October 2011.
Mortimer Spiegelman (1901-1969) was an actuary, biostatistician, and demographer who made exceptional contributions to public health. His contributions have continued posthumously through the APHA's Statistics Section's Mortimer Spiegelman Award.
Mr. Spiegelman was a native of Brooklyn, New York. He received a Master's of Engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1923 and a Master's of Business Administration from Harvard University in1925. He spent 40 years on the staff of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company where he published many articles and volumes that attained national and international recognition. He coauthored with Dublin and Lotka The Money Value of Man and Length of Life, both of which have been standard reference volumes. Although his employment was in an organization that was concerned primarily with actuarial science, his interests were much broader. He published two editions of Introduction to Demography, which has been a standard text in demography. The second edition, in particular, is oriented toward the general demographer and students of public health statistics rather than toward the actuary. He did extensive work on life tables including what he referred to as "segmented generation" mortality. This approach allows one to follow the mortality experience of a given age group over successive 10-year periods as an alternative to analyzing trends in the current mortality.
His major contribution in the fields of public health and epidemiology came toward the end of his career when he conceived of, coordinated, edited, and carried to a successful conclusion the publication of a series of monographs sponsored by the APHA and published by the Harvard University Press. Each monograph pertained to a specific set of diseases, and the 1960 Census was used in a standard way as the denominator for rates of disease. In his role as editor of this series, he used his considerable powers of persuasion with the authors of the monographs to ensure comparability among them and to make certain that the work on each was completed. Sixteen monographs resulted from his efforts; covering a wide range of topics as evidenced by the following titles: Accidents and Homicides, Infectious Diseases, Trends and Variations in Fertility in the U.S., Infant, Perinatal, Maternal, and Childhood Mortality, The Epidemiology of Oral Health, Tuberculosis, Syphilis and Other Venereal Diseases, Cardiovascular Disease in the U.S., The Frequency of Rheumatic Diseases, Digestive Disease, Mental Disorders and Suicide, Cancer in the U.S., The Epidemiology of Neurological and Sense Organ Diseases, Mortality and Morbidity in the U.S., and Differential Mortality in the U.S. Mr. Spiegelman's development of the APHA monograph series further illustrates the breadth of his interests.
Mr. Spiegelman was a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries, a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, and a Fellow of the American Public Health Association
The Spiegelman Award was established in 1970 by his sisters, Anna and Julia Spiegelman, following his death. The Award was maintained during their lives by their donations, and their attendance of the annual award luncheon and presentation. In 2001 -2003, the Statistics Section solicited donations for the Spiegelman Endowment Fund to ensure the continuation of the Award. Continuation of the Award today, and for the foreseeable future, is supported by donations raised during this time period from Statistics Section members, previous Spiegelman Award recipients, other supporters of the Statistics Section, and from several institutions to which they belong. Instrumental in enabling the 2001-2003Spiegelman Endowment fundraising effort to reach its goal was an initial challenge, and subsequent donations that more than matched other contributions, by Professor Gary C. Koch of the University of North Carolina, the fifth Spiegelman Award recipient.
The Spiegelman Award has been presented annually since 1970 to a statistician under age 40 who has made outstanding contributions to public health statistics. The distinction associated with the Award has increased over time with the extraordinary continuing accomplishments of its recipients (see Appendix A for a list of the Award recipients). The Award serves three purposes:
· To honor the outstanding achievements of the recipient and Mortimer Spiegelman.
· To encourage further involvement in public health of the finest young statisticians.
· To increase awareness of APHA and the Statistics Section in the academic statistical community.
The Award is presented annually at the APHA meetings by the previous recipient of the Award.
The Spiegelman Award recipient must be a health statistician who:
The Award recipient is required to:
The Award recipient is presented with the bronze Spiegelman medallion (originally housed in a cherry box, now framed). Beginning with 2010, the Award recipient also may receive a $500 Honorarium the year of the Award and the following year. The Honoraria are intended to defray the Award recipient's travel expenses when he/she 1) attends the APHA meetings to receive the Award and 2) attends the APHA meetings the following year to present the Award and to chair the Methodology session he/she organizes. The Honorarium is only offered when the Award recipient attends the APHA annual meetings. In addition, the Award recipient's APHA membership may be paid for the two years following receipt of the Award.
The APHA Statistics Section Chair authorizes minting of the Spiegelman medallions as needed, and the Statistics Section is responsible for preparing a medallion for presentation each year.
For 2005-2010, the Spiegelman Award committee consisted of 9 members, each serving a three-year term:
Beginning in 2011, the composition of the Spiegelman Award Committee changed. At the Statistics Section Council meetings at the 2010 APHA annual meetings, the Statistics Section Council voted to reduce the Award committee membership to 6, by limiting membership to:
The change from the 9-member committee to the 6-member committee will be phased in, beginning with the 2011 Spiegelman Award Committee.
The committee is chaired by the earliest Award recipient among the three recipients who currently serve on the committee.
All committee members serve a three-year term, with terms being staggered. During 2005-2010, three new members joined the committee each year and three went off the committee. Beginning with 2011, two new members join the committee each year; for 2011 and 2012, three members will go off the committee, from 2013 forward, two members will go off the committee annually. The Spiegelman Award recipient starts his/her first year on the committee the year following his/her Award. Specifically, for any particular year X, say, 2013, the committee members include the three Award recipients who received the Award in years X-3, X-2, and X-1 (e.g., 2010, 2011, and 2012), and three APHA members appointed by the Statistics Section past-chairs for years X-3, X-2, and X-1, (e.g., 2010, 2011, and 2012).
The current Spiegelman Award committee composition and committee members' terms are shown in Appendix B. Each year, the new Spiegelman Award Chair should update Appendix B to reflect the most recent committee membership. In particular, the new Spiegelman Chair should contact the Statistics Section Chair to learn the identity of the person appointed by the Section Past- Chair. The most senior APHA appointee to the Spiegelman Committee serves as a liaison between the Award Committee and the Statistics Section Council.
The deadline for nominations is April 1 of the Award year. The nomination package should include:
Traditionally, eligible unselected candidates from the previous year(s) have been rolled over into the candidate pool of the current year, given the age criterion for each nominee still holds. The current Spiegelman Award Chair should contact the lead nominators of previously unselected candidates and ask them if they wish to re-nominate their candidates. If a re-nomination is deemed appropriate then the lead nominator should provide a new nomination letter, a current CV, and up to three (updated) letters of support.
The Spiegelman Award Committee Chair develops the advertisements which call for nominations. A sample call for nominations advertisement is shown in Appendix C.
The Spiegelman Chair should send the call to the following places, preferably in early fall of the year preceding the award year:
The Award Committee Chair should send a copy of all of the nomination packages received by close of business on April 1to the other committee members, preferably in early April. The Chair should include in the package a cover letter that summarizes each candidate's birth date, lead nominator, and the supporting letter writers' names. The Chair should ascertain that each continuing committee member has a copy of the current Procedures Manual and should provide each new committee member with a copy of the Manual. The selection process should be concluded by the end of May.
The Chair should stress that all of the committee's discussions are confidential and need to be restricted within the committee. Further, any discussion of candidates must be shared with all committee members.
The selection process should be accomplished via a combination of rounds of scorings/rankings (usually two or more) and conference calls. The Chair must hold at least one conference call to discuss the scorings/rankings; more may be necessary or helpful. Committee conference calls must be scheduled so as to assure participation by at least two-thirds of the members of the committee. Committee conference calls provide the opportunity for all committee members to benefit from group discussions in order to reach a consensus.
In the first round of scoring/ranking, committee members will be asked to provide the Chair with their initial scorings/rankings after independently reviewing the candidates' materials. The Chair will share the initial rankings with the other committee members. If there is no overwhelming single choice for the Award at the end of the first round, a conference call shall be scheduled to discuss the candidates. Past experience indicates that it is useful for the Chair to assign a committee member to summarize each candidate's profile and lead discussions of the assigned candidate at the conference call(s). For each candidate, the discussion leader may present a five-minute summary based on the candidate's C.V. and supporting letters; responses to the candidate's merits with respect to the selection criteria (listed below); and any additional matters the reviewer knows about the candidate. This review could be followed by a five-minute discussion among the entire committee.
Selection criteria and conflicts of interest should be discussed during the initial conference call. Historically, rankings from the whole committee (including members who have conflicts of interest) have been used to determine the recipient of the Award.
After discussion at the conference call (at which at least two-thirds of the Committee's members are present), a candidate shall be nominated and a vote taken. If there is a majority vote, the candidate is declared the award winner. Otherwise, discussion and voting must continue until a majority candidate emerges.
Basis for scoring/rankings:
An ideal candidate is one who has developed novel statistical methods motivated by public health (broadly defined) and who is active and well known not just in statistical/biostatistical circles but also in public health circles.
The committee is urged to rate the candidates with respect to the following four categories:
Each category could be scored as follows: 1=good, 2=very good, and 3=outstanding.
The Spiegelman Committee chair shall:
• Notify the Award recipient of his/her selection and detail the responsibilities incurred.
• Notify the Statistics Section Chair of the recipient's selection
• Obtain a photo and a biographical sketch of the Award recipient and transmit to the Section Chair.
The Statistics Section will notify the Award recipient of the time and place of the award ceremony and other events at the Annual Meeting. and make arrangements for any Honorarium.

Shirley's new book
Having read Shirley's new book, "What If..." I think it's worth a celebration.
It's due out Nov 12th.
Read about it by following the links on the homepage and enjoy!
Can't wait to read Shirley's new book. I have read all of the others (more than once), and loved them all! This should be no exception!
Can't wait - Shirley always surprises and enlightens me :)
xo Froggie :)
Just got Shirley's new book on my Kindle. Can't wait to start reading it.
As usual I know I will be sad when it is over however, I can read it again :) I'm never disappointed in your books Shirley!
Brightest Blessings and Congrats!
Got notice today that my pre-ordered copy has been delivered. Nice to come home to books in the mail!
Namaste from the Midwest,
I'm loving Shirley's new book I can't put it down. So many "What If's" and so true on what she says. I love this book. 👍👍❤❤
I read it in 24 hr, and now again slow. To me, It feels as if i hear my self thinking in many pages... Thank God for curious brave people, :D
It is yet another most interesting creation of yours, Shirley and i thank you from my "bookworm" Heart;)
Just finished this morning. Enjoyed it very much. It will be a challenge for those interviewing SM about the book to avoid asking the questions that they usually avoid just because every page of the book addresses those very questions. It will be interesting to watch/listen to/read.
Not sure if Terry Gross has ever interviewed SM, but this would be a great book for a Fresh Air interview!
Anyone care to discuss the book further in the Books forum or should we dig in right here? I'll go first--a few observations:
1. First, before getting to the content, I really appreciated the layout of the book because it invites you to write in it. I am never without a pen in my hand when reading a book, and I love the occasional questions sitting on pages by themselves with plenty of space for me to speculate and write questions of my own!
2. Loved the speculation beginning with "What if I were married with children, grandchildren, a husband, and a household to run?" and ending with "Wake up, women of the world! . . . Perhaps you are the true warriors for peace." (pp. 51-52). Don't you think this is true? We need to return to the goddess path and bring some yin sanity to the world. As Robin Williams said in a standup routine at the Met decades ago, "if women ran the world, there would never be any war. You know it's true. Just serious negotiations every 30 days." (or something to that effect).
3. Also loved the speculation on hope and its deleterious effect on our culture. (pp. 183-84). Pema Chodron and other Buddhists often write about this very idea. That in placing emphasis, effort, and energy on "hope" (which is some future idea) we miss our appointment with life in the present moment. I liked, also, SM's idea about prayer having more intention and focus on the now. It reminds me of that line at the end of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth during the credits at the end of an old African proverb: "When you pray, move your feet."
4. Question related to the "hope" speculation: How does the idea of "hope" being dangerous fit in with Obama's 2008 election campaign slogan of "Hope"? Remember that? Had he not had such focus on "hope," would he have won? I wonder. Were the masses seduced by this idea of "hope"? Did campaign strategists know this when coming up with the campaign theme? What would Ben Franklin have thought of the campaign strategy? "He that lives upon hope will die fasting?" Interesting.
5. This speculation ties into SM's speculation on democracy: "What if democracy is a trick perpetrated on the human race by higher-level beings who want to control us in the guise of freedom of choice?" (p. 144). When I see resolutions like the one in Washington state to require GMO labeling of food get voted down, I begin to believe more and more that democracy is a trick. As SM states, "[d]emocracy is having a hard time because we don't understand the consequences of our individual freedoms and choices. We are free to be profitably materialistic (in the short term) at the expense of destroying Nature and life itself." (p. 144).
6. I think SM and Edgar Allan Poe are the only two writers in all of American literature who have used the word "phantasmagorically" in a sentence. (p. 136). Thank you!
Namaste from the soggy Midwest,
Hi Steph,
I love your idea about the book being set up so that we can write our own ideas on some of the pages. Never would have thought of that!
It was interesting to read of your favorite passages. I loved the chapter on synchronicity (among others). I am still trying to figure out exactly why synchronicity occurs. It seems that there has to be some reason for it.
I also loved reading the chapter about the AFI award. I watched the show and loved it. So it was fun to read what Shirley was thinking about the whole thing! It was such a tremendous tribute to her!
I'll have to put some more thought into what were some of my other favorite parts of the book. I will probably read it again to absorb it a bit more.
Would love to read anyone else's thoughts on the book.
I haven't read the final yet but read the first draft and know that she probably didn't change much of it.
Did the questions move your own thoughts forward? Did you end up having a load of your own What Ifs...?
The book tour was good and not quite over she'll be on Coast to Coast tomorrow evening. Katie was postponed but she should be on next week. Will let you know when we have a date.

The "geek mind" is concerned with more than just the latest iPhone rumors, or which company will win the gaming console wars. I4U is concerned with more than just the latest photo shoot or other celebrity gossip.
The "geek mind" is concerned with life, in all its different forms and facets. The geek mind wants to know about societal and financial issues, both abroad and at home. If a Fortune 500 decides to raise their minimum wage, or any high priority news, the geek mind wants to know. The geek mind wants to know the top teams in the National Football League, or who's likely to win the NBA Finals this coming year. The geek mind wants to know who the hottest new models are, or whether the newest blockbuster movie is worth seeing. The geek mind wants to know. The geek mind wants—needs—knowledge.

Business security is a necessary investment to protect staff, equipment and assets and to deter theft and vandalism. Security is not as expensive as you may think with alarm monitoring from as little as $1 per day and basic alarm systems starting from around $1,000. There are several factors involved in determining what is the best security system for your business and a good security company will complete a site evaluation prior to recommending the most suitable option for you.
The best security systems involve a combination of staff training on security procedures and the utilisation of the latest technology. Below are some of the security options for your business.
1. Access Control
An access control system monitors the movement of people around a building while also maintaining a log of the people who enter and exit via the doors. The system includes an identification device, for example, picture identity card or PIN or electronic tag to access the premises. It may also include "readers", such as proximity, magnetic stripe or most commonly keypads. Most modern office buildings are fitted with some form of access control for security purposes.
2. Alarm Systems and Alarm Monitoring
Alarm systems are a popular method of protecting business and combined with alarm monitoring can be an effective way to protect your premises from potential security threats. It also gives you a complete record of the openings and closing in the building and whatever has happened while you were not there. Back to base alarm systems are monitored by a 24 hour, 7 day per week control centre which is alerted to abnormal access or alarm activation. Alarm systems and monitoring are suitable for all businesses large or small.
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) involves the installment of a monitor at a certain locations internally or externally of the business for security purposes. Cameras are available in colour or black and white, fixed position or over pan-tilt. The over pan-tilt cameras are easily manipulated by an operator in the control room who can monitor the surroundings. CCTV can deter external and staff vandalism and theft. CCTV is suited to retail outlets and businesses at a high threat from vandalism or theft.
Duties security guards can provide include loss prevention, customer service, retail security, investigation services, cash collections, ATM servicing, mobile patrols and crowd control. Security guards are often a strong detterent and preferred by businesses at high risk or requiring immediate intervention. Security guards provide benefits to industrial sites, retail outlets, clubs, pubs, banks, hospitals, universities and larger office buildings.
5. Biometrics
The use of biometrics involves identifying a person using a unique characteristic, for example, fingerprint, retina, face or voice recognition. This is an increasingly popular option as the technology is becoming more affordable as it is very difficult to manipulate. Biometrics are suited to high security businesses and government facilities.
Your business may benefit from one or a combination of a number of the above security measures. If you are considering reviewing your business security or upgrading your security system then contact TJM Security on 1300 766 070. We will undertake a thorough site inspection prior to providing a tailored security solution for your business.
