John Robert Magaro (born February 16, 1983) is an American film, television and stage actor.[1][2] He starred alongside James Gandolfini in Not Fade Away (2012) — the feature film debut of David Chase, creator of The Sopranos.[3][4][5]
Life and career[edit]
Magaro was born in Akron, Ohio, the son of Wendy and James Magaro,[6] and grew up in its nearby suburb of Munroe Falls. His father is of Italian descent and his mother is Jewish, and he was raised in his mother's religion. His parents were teachers. While attending school within the Stow-Munroe Falls City School District, he began acting in local theater, including shows at the Cleveland Play House and the Kent State Porthouse Theatre at Blossom Music Center. As a youth, Magaro also appeared in television commercials, and had a role in a Rescue 911 episode.[1][7][8][9]
After graduating from Stow-Munroe Falls High School in 2001, he went on to study theater at Point Park University in Pittsburgh. Currently, Magaro lives in and works out of New York. Among his acting highlights: appearing in The Brave One alongside Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard; the HBO film Taking Chance starring Kevin Bacon; and a lead role in fellow Northeast Ohio native Wes Craven's latest horror film, My Soul to Take.[1][10][11] He also appeared in 3 episodes of the third season of Orange Is the New Black.
Not Fade Away[edit]
Not Fade Away (2012) took place in 1960s New Jersey and centered on Magaro's character, the lead singer of a teenage rock and roll band called the "The Twylight Zones" — a reference to Rod Serling's popular anthology series, The Twilight Zone. The film's title referred to "Not Fade Away", a Buddy Holly song later covered by The Rolling Stones. The film itself reunited Sopranos' creator David Chase with stars James Gandolfini (as Magaro's father) and Steven Van Zandt (as music supervisor).[3][4][5]

Terrorism is no longer something that only happens to other countries. Attacks on US soil in the 1990's brought the reality of terrorism home and the Sept 11th tragedy let us know that the United States is a high priority target. The goal of today's terrorist is body count, and while traditional bombings have served them in the past, the allure of killing thousands of people with a very small amount of biological or chemical agent will prove irresistible. Our only defense on the front line is a well-prepared emergency response team.
The key to an effective terrorist response is to understand and contain the hazardous materials involved. Counter-Terrorism for Emergency Responders, Second Edition meticulously details the characteristics, actions, identification, containment, and emergency treatment of all types of agents. Drastically updated from the 1999 edition, chapter after chapter is packed with new information on chemical agents, biological agents, and explosive, nuclear, and incendiary devices.
Using his 26 years of experience in emergency services and his skills as a hazardous materials consultant in more than 15 states, the author prepares the first responder to handle everything from re-establishing control and on-scene triage to investigating the crime. Including information on pre-incident and avoidance tactics, the author provides new monitoring and detection techniques, protective equipment and decontamination, and an extensive list of resource organizations and training opportunities. The worst may never happen to your community, but will you be prepared if it does?

This application is a continuation-in-part of application U.S. Ser. No. 08/717,062, filed Sep. 20, 1996 now abandoned.
Not applicable.
The present invention relates to a free standing support device to assist a person to come to a standing position from a sitting or lying position.
When a person has become ill or injured or is weak from age, it becomes difficult to come to a standing position from either a sitting position or a lying position. Many devices have been devised to provide the necessary assistance.
Most desirably, a support device will be free-standing without a base mat in order to allow easy placement and removal of the device either by the person needing the device or an assistant. Furthermore any such device must be stable so as to allow the person to pull on the device when requiring assistance. The device should be a simple device and easy to manufacture at relatively low cost. It also is desirable for the device to be dismantled easily so as to allow storage in a small area. In addition, the support device should be utilizable along side a bed or with a chair to allow the person to assume a standing position.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,176,322 to Mulcahy provides a bedside support which has two guard rail type ends spaced apart with support on one side of the guard rails which support would be placed against the bed when using the device. Two further support bars which extend backward under the mattress are also provided. The device however, does not allow one to readily swing ones legs over the side of the bed after the device is in place. Hence, a person using the device would require assistance at the time of use of the device.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,553,746 to Seiger provides a support device which consists of a single post supported by a support mechanism which is I-shaped and lying on the floor. The single post extends upwardly from the I support and has gripping means on each side of the post. A portion of the I support to one side of the post is slipped under the bed for stability. A person using the device however, when using two hands to attempt to stand would find the mechanism immediately in front of them and hence would need to either have the mechanism removed or step to the side from the mechanism to walk away from the device.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,668,723 to Bratton provides a patient riser which consists of two vertical posts having parallel bars placed between the posts, the posts being positioned up against the bed and subsequently after the patient is in a seated position, a U-shaped configuration of horizontal parallel bars is positioned around the patient with the front open and the bottom portion being affixed to the top of the vertical posts. This configuration does not assist the patient in getting from a prone position to a sitting position and furthermore, would require assistance by another party to place the horizontal portion in position before the patient could use the device.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,932,090 to Johansson provides a movable support bar which bar can be affixed to the floor or to the side of a chair or bed to allow a patient to pull on the bar to come to a seated or standing position. The support bar requires affixing the mechanism to a stable base such as the floor, a bed, or a chair.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,354,022 to Coonrod provides a patient assist device having a base and a single patient support structure coupled with the base and if desired, a means for coupling the device to the article of furniture to prevent movement of the apparatus relative to the article of furniture. In order to use the device, the person must place their feet on the base of the device and then utilize the device. Such a device does not assist one for rising from a lying position to a sitting position and in order to be stable, the device needs to be coupled to an article of furniture.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,347,666 to Kippes provides a transfer aid for assisting people with restricted mobility to rise from a seated position to a standing position. The device is substantially U-shaped and is in front of and along each side of the person using the device. Hence, when the user arises from a seated position to a standing position, the device is still surrounding the user on three sides, thereby requiring assistance from another person to remove the device so the user can then continue to move to a different position.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,435,028 to Frala provides a portable support apparatus consisting of a single handrail extending vertically from the floor with several support pieces lying on the floor and attached to the rail. When using this device, only one hand provides assistance and when standing, a portion of the forwardmost base lies in front of the standing person such that the user must step over the support before commencing to walk.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,509,432 to Peterson provides a complex device with a base mat and four posts with stabilizing bars between each set of two posts. The device does not easily dissassemble nor does it allow for swinging one leg over the side rail to move from a lying position to a sitting position and thence to a standing position.
The present invention provides a free standing support device without a base mat, to assist a person to come to a standing position from a sitting or lying position such that the device is easily portable, may be easily dismantled to allow compact storage, provides support for both hands and is very stable.
The present invention provides a free-standing support device without a base mat, to assist a person to come to a standing position from a sitting or lying position, which device has a base frame having two parallel elongated flat pieces each having a front portion and a rear portion. One side of each elongated flat piece rests on the floor and to the other side on the rear portion thereof are affixed at least two parallel support bars perpendicular to the pieces. Two and only two vertical posts are present, each having a fixed end and a free end, one each being affixed to the front portion of one of the flat pieces, the vertical posts extending about 30 inches above the floor. At least one of the posts is comprised of two pieces, one piece being the free end and the other piece being the fixed end. These pieces are separable so that the free end can be removed easily and subsequently put back in place.
A gripping means is affixed to the free end of each vertical post and extends forward and parallel to the flat piece below it being positioned above the front portion of the flat piece. When being used, the rear portion of the flat pieces containing the parallel support bars is placed under the article of furniture, e.g. a chair or a bed. The vertical posts generally are placed against the article of furniture in such a manner that the gripping means extend forward from the edge of the article of furniture. Thus, when a person using the device places one hand on each of the gripping means and rises to a standing position, no part of the device lies in front of the user. Thus, the user may just walk away.
The base frame and the two vertical posts of the device are made from wood, metal, plastic or other suitable stable material. The vertical posts are affixed to the base frame by conventional means such as welding, gluing, use of bolts or the like. The parallel support bars are preferably affixed to the flat pieces by wing bolts or other suitable attaching means which is easily removed so as to allow the device to be separated into the flat pieces with the vertical posts attached and the support bars. Thus the device is easily stored in a narrow space. The free end of at least one of the posts is movable and can simply be hung on the gripping means of the other post so that when rising from a lying position to a sitting position, the user may swing his legs over the fixed end of the post and thus easily assume a position to allow the user to thereafter stand. The removed free end of the post is subsequently put back in place and the device is ready to be used for standing.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view depicting a user using one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a support device 10. The device has a base frame with two parallel elongated flat pieces 12 and 14. To the flat pieces 12 and 14 are affixed two parallel support bars 16 and 18. The support bars preferably are affixed in such a manner as to be easily removable such as by wing bolts 30. When the support bars 16 and 18 are removed, the flat pieces 12 and 14 may be placed one against another to allow storage in a narrow space.
Two and only two, vertical posts 20 and 22 are attached to the flat pieces 12 and 14 respectively. The vertical posts 20 and 22 extend about 30 inches above the floor. In the embodiment depicted in FIG. 1, the vertical post 20 is separable into a free end 28 and the portion affixed to the flat piece 12. The free end 28 is readily removable from the fixed portion and may be subsequently put back in place at the time of use. By removing the free end 28 from the fixed portion, the user is able to swing his legs from the bed around to place the feet on the floor or the reverse. After the user places his feet on the floor and has assumed a sitting position, the free end 28 is put back in place into the fixed end of the vertical post 20. Thus the support device 10 is ready for use. The user next grips the gripping means 24 and 26 placed at the free end of the vertical posts 20 and 22 respectively. Inasmuch as the back side of the vertical posts 20 and 22 are placed against the article of furniture, e.g. a bed, when the user rises to a standing position, it is necessary only to walk away from the device as no part of the device obstructs the walking of the user.
The gripping means 24 and 26 are approximately 29 or 30 inches above the floor where the device is placed. The location of the gripping means in relationship to the overall device 10 and to the floor is somewhat critical to the function of the device. For instance, it should be noted that adult humans when standing, almost regardless of height, will have the gripping portion of their hands reach approximately 29 or 30 inches from the floor. A person, 6′5″ tall will have the gripping portion of his hands in substantially the same position from the floor as a person 5′4″ tall. By placing the gripping means in this position, a person may assume a standing position from a sitting position with the least effort.
The distance between the elongated flat pieces most generally will approximate 20 to about 25″, thus allowing for a large or a small person to stand therebetween. The length of the front portion of each of the flat pieces 12 and 14 including the vertical posts 20 and 22 is generally less than about half the length of the remaining distance of the elongated flat pieces. It has been found that the length extending forward beyond the vertical posts need not be very long at all to supply stability to the support device. This is indeed surprising, but apparently the fact that the gripping means are forward of the vertical posts, places weight or pressure as the person is standing in the ideal location to provide stability.
The affixed portion of a vertical post which is separable into the free end and the affixed end should be short enough that it does not extend above the seat of a chair or the mattress of a bed from which the user is rising in order to prevent interference with the user.

Japanese mayor: Comfort women necessaryBreaking News
tags: World War II, AP, Japan, comfort women, sex slaves
TOKYO (AP) — An outspoken nationalist mayor said the Japanese military's forced prostitution of Asian women before and during World War II was necessary to "maintain discipline" in the ranks and provide rest for soldiers who risked their lives in battle.
The comments made Monday are already raising ire in neighboring countries that bore the brunt of Japan's wartime aggression and have long complained that Japan has failed to fully atone for wartime atrocities.
Toru Hashimoto, the young, brash mayor of Osaka who is co-leader of an emerging conservative political party, also said that U.S. troops currently based in southern Japan should patronize the local sex industry more to help reduce rapes and other assaults....

Stephen Hubbell's unified neutral theory of biodiversity (Hubbell 2001) provoked intense debate among ecologists (e.g. McGill 2003; Volkov et al. 2003; Gilbert & Lechowicz 2004; Wootton 2005). Hubbell's theory considers communities to consist of ecologically equivalent individuals distributed across a fixed number of species derived from a regional species pool. Population dynamics is modelled at regional and local scales. Replacement individuals at a local scale immigrate from the regional species pool, while at regional scales new individuals result from speciation. The dynamics of a community can therefore be modelled with a minimum of parameters: regional population size, speciation rate, migration rate and death rate. Such an approach can successfully generate patterns consistent with species–area (MacArthur & Wilson 1967) and abundance–frequency relationships (Tokeshi 1999). Neutral theory explicitly ignores differences between individuals in response to local ecological conditions. In contrast niche theory suggests that patterns of biodiversity should closely relate to underlying variability in ecological parameters such as physico-chemistry, disturbance regime, productivity and competition with other species (e.g. Tilman 1982; Tokeshi 1999).
Neutral theory is difficult to test in practice (Harte 2003; Gilbert & Lechowicz 2004; Wootton 2005) particularly as key population parameters have rarely been measured (but see Wootton 2005). Attempts to fit species-abundance curves generated by neutral theory and other models to real data have been made (McGill 2003; Volkov et al. 2003; Adler 2004; Alonso & McKane 2004; Chisholm & Burgman 2004), but differences in model fit are often negligible (Harte 2003; Hubbell & Borda-de-Agua 2004). Even when the model fits (such as the log-normal curve fitted to Panamanian tree diversity by McGill 2003) it may not inform us about the underlying biological processes. There have been attempts in recent years to test empirically patterns expected to emerge from neutral processes (e.g. Condit et al. 2002; Gilbert & Lechowicz 2004; Wootton 2005). One of these emergent patterns is that of 'distance decay' (Hubbell 2001). Because dispersal limitation underlies differences between sites in a neutral world, it is expected that widely separated points will harbour different communities (Harte 2003). Differences in local species richness between sites can be explained by random extinctions and replacements of species through time, a process Hubbell (2001) calls 'ecological drift'. This process has a direct analogy with 'neutral allele theory' (Kimura 1983), the process whereby changes in genomes are accumulated passively through time via 'genetic drift'. As in genetics, where the relative importance of genetic drift vs. natural selection has been widely debated (e.g. Mayr 1991; Ridley 2002), so too has Hubbell's assertion of the dominance of ecological drift over local determinism (Nee & Stone 2003).
Neutral theory can be tested by comparing the fit of community data to local ecological conditions, vs. their fit to distance decay expectations. Under niche theory, similarity between species-abundance matrices will be positively correlated with similarity in local ecological conditions. Neutral theory predicts a negative correlation with distance between sites. Such a test is made more difficult because distance between sites is often positively correlated with differences in local ecological factors (Gilbert & Lechowicz 2004). Such an approach is only valid when local conditions and spatial separation are independent of one another. Stream systems provide a useful test system because they generate a spatially constrained set of local conditions with intervening inhospitable habitat. Aerial dispersal of adults allows movement of individuals between patches on realistic scales.
We used macroinvertebrate communities from a set of stream sites in a large river catchment in New Zealand to test neutral and niche predictions. Neutral theory predicts decreased similarity between invertebrate communities that are spatially distant. Niche theory predicts decreased community similarity with lower similarity in ecological conditions. Alternatively, we might expect both neutral and niche processes to contribute to patterns of local diversity, leading to a pattern of decreased similarity in communities as spatial distance increases and niche similarity decreases. Because dispersal limitation underlies neutral expectations, we also analyse separately communities with varying dispersal ability. Community similarity for species with poor dispersal should be strongly negatively associated with spatial separation of sites, while species with good dispersal should overcome dispersal limitation and be strongly positively associated with local ecological conditions.
