Today, The Infamous Stringdusters announce the lineup for the fourth installment of their annual Festy Experience.
The Grateful Web's John Schumm chats with Slightly Stoopid co-frontman Miles Doughty about their live DVD filmed at Bob Weir's TRI Studios, their new studio/rehearsal space where their most recent album was recorded, the future of online streams and social media, their Summer Tour with Atmosphere, and bold, yet not reckless, predictions for the NBA Finals
On a blistering summer day in 1972, the Grateful Dead took the stage on the grounds of the Oregon Country Fair in Veneta, Ore. for what would become one of the most legendary concerts of the band's storied history. Join us this summer when we screen the previously unreleased concert film "Sunshine Daydream" as part of our now annual Grateful Dead Meet Up At The Movies.
After setting out on a drive that became a near-endless journey traversing across the thick and thin of Middle America, Caroline Rose returned back east with books full of stories and poems that would become the songs of America Religious, a record that delves neck-deep in topics most people wouldn't dare to discuss at the dinner table.
Hard Drivin' Carolina String Band, Town Mountain, is touring with their fourth album, Leave the Bottle [Pinecastle 2012]. Based in Asheville, NC, Town Mountain is Robert Greer on vocals and guitar, Jesse Langlais on banjo and vocals, Phil Barker on mandolin and vocals, Bobby Britt on fiddle, and Jake Hopping on upright bass.
Genre-blurring instrumental interpreters will put their stamp on ELLNORA | The Guitar Festival in 2013.

The Waterboys will visit North America twice — once in the summer and again in the fall — with current album An Appointment With Mr. Yeats in hand. The band will tour five Canadian cities (Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, St. John's and Halifax) July 12-21 with a stop at Brooklyn, N.Y.'s Celebrate Brooklyn festival.
The 47th Annual Bill Monroe Memorial Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival begins this Saturday, June 8 and continues through June 15 at the Bill Monroe Memorial Bluegrass Music Park & Campground in Bean Blossom (Brown County), Indiana.
Meet Me At The Edge Of the World, the upcoming double album from the highly acclaimed band Over The Rhine, is set for a September 3rd release on their Great Speckled Dog label. Over The Rhine's nucleus of husband and wife duo Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler have created their most ambitious offering to date with Meet Me At The Edge Of The World, and they did not need to look far to find their muse.

In Waning Winter, An 'Above Par' Snow-Kayaking Adventure
With snow cover stubbornly lingering and whitewater kayaking season still more than a month away, what's an impatient paddler to do? Easy: Snow-kayaking.
So there we were, halfway through the 14-mile Lighthouse to Lighthouse Race on Long Island Sound off Norwalk last Saturday, having fought our way into the lead in the tandem sea kayak division, and we simply had to circle Greens Ledge Lighthouse and cruise to the finish line at Shady Beach. "We've got it in the bag," I called ahead to Ian Frenkel in the bow. "It's all downwind."
Ian and I, along with more than 150 other paddlers in a variety of vessels, had battled 15 mph headwinds and 3- to 4-foot seas over the first seven miles of last Saturday's race and I looked forward to getting a strong push on the return leg. There was one problem, though: Ian and had taken in a lot of water pounding through waves, so instead of surfing gracefully with a fair wind and following seas we repeatedly broached and fishtailed no matter how hard I pushed down on the rudder's foot pedals.
"The @%!!&! boat won't turn!" I cried.
"Steer with your paddle!" Ian shouted over his shoulder.
"I'm trying! Son of a …!"
A succession of vessels swept past us while we stopped to mop
out our cockpits.
"This is not fun," I groaned. It was my own stupid fault, using flimsy nylon spray skirts instead of tough, water-resistant neoprene shields to keep water out of the cockpit. The L2L Race, one of Connecticut's most popular open-water competitions, draws paddlers from far and wide, including European racers, and features not just kayaks but paddleboards, fixed- and sliding-seat rowing shells, super-fast surfskis and six-person outrigger canoes. In our 22-foot tandem sea kayak, Ian and I were about in the middle of the overall field, but determined to win the division.
"There goes Phil!" I shouted, as Phil Warner, in his sleek, 24-foot tandem, shot past.
Phil, Ian and I have raced with and against each other for years, but because his boat is longer, lighter and trimmer than mine it is
rated as a fast sea kayak, a separate division, so technically we really weren't competing.
Therefore I didn't mind seeing Phil and his partner, Russell Lazarus, slip ahead of us – as long as no other kayaks in our division did.
Long story short – Ian and I held onto first place, despite swerving to and fro like drunkards – but we both muttered the same word after crossing the finish line in the relatively pedestrian time of 2 hours, 26 minutes and 6 seconds: "Disastrous!"
By comparison, Reid Hyle, in a surfski single, blazed through the course in 1 hour, 41 minutes and 54 seconds.
At least we were faster than the guy in a standup paddleboard who slogged through in nearly 3½ hours.
Phil and Russell wound up with blue ribbons in the fast sea kayak division, and I was delighted that Robin Francis, who had joined Phil, Ian and me on several training workouts around Fishers Island, won the woman's fast sea kayak division.
Phil and I will be competing together in his boat this weekend at the 37th annual Josh Billings Runaground Triathlon in Lenox, Mass., on one leg of the three-event race. Paul Brock will start for our team, riding a 27-mile bicycle route; then tag off to us in the 5-mile kayak leg. Dan Dillon will run the 6-mile anchor leg. I'll let you know next week how we made out.
In other kayak news, last Sunday I finally fulfilled a commitment I made nearly a year ago when I offered as a charity auction prize to escort a couple of paddlers to Fishers Island. The winning bidder, Kyrena Robinson of Ledyard, brought her friend, Barbara Campagna of North Stonington, and we launched from Esker Point Beach in Noank in sunny but blustery conditions.
Barbara and I paddled my tandem, while Kyrena set out in a single sea kayak. "Bit of a breeze," I said, as a brisk north wind propelled us across the sound.
West Harbor, about 3 miles distant. It took a little over an hour, and after landing south of Clay Point we strolled across the island to Isabella Beach. Neither woman had previously set foot on Fishers, and I enjoyed my role as a tour guide.
Though the sun shone brightly we lingered only a few minutes because I was worried about strengthening winds on the return trip. Kyrena agreed with my plan. "Let's roll," she said.
The wind indeed did pick up on the way back, but coming from the north it mercifully flattened the seas. Aside from some chop near the Clumps the return trip was challenging but manageable. Next time we'll pick a calmer day so we can spend more time on the island. I had offered the trip during an event to raise money to establish a 14-mile Tri-Town Trail from Preston Community Park to Bluff Point Coastal Reserve in Groton, connecting 4,000 acres of state and local open space with only seven road crossings.
It's a worthy cause, and I had so much fun last week that I'm offering the same trip for the second annual silent auction, scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, at The Paddock Tack Shop, 55 Rose Hill Road, Ledyard. There are plenty of other prizes to bid on, including a week at a house on Cape Cod, flying lessons, and best of all, a new kayak.
More information about the event is available at tritowntrail.com.

This hostel is a bit hard to find because it is actually just apartments. There is no sign outside and no reception. We had to call to have someone come meet us. There is a small kitchen and no common room. Not much social interaction but it's less than 10 minutes from the train station and the owners are a very sweet couple. They showed us around and were very accommodating. I would stay here again!

Thread: All the fun is over?
All the fun is over?
As I have been cutting way down and am approaching sobriety that I am comsumed with thoughts that I will be totally boring now. All my social activities revolved around drinking. I am sure a lot of you have had this problem. What did you do to counter these thoughts? What are some non drinking activities other than sports and exersise (I already do this) did you switch to to meet people and have a good time with?
Every night I am consumed with the "I really want to go out and have a good time" and "No if I go out I will drink all night" battle in my head. I am hoping to find some things to occupy my time at home and out that doesn't involve alcohol but does involve socialising.
All the fun is over?
AA meetings? They also have a lot of social events....volunteer somewhere, it will take up time and you'll feel great for giving back. Have you let your friends know of your plans for sober living? You could make plans with them maybe on an individual basis say for dinner or a movie or have them come over for some sober poker or something and it would be easy to just tell that friend hey I'm not drinking these days.....
Sorry that's all I can come up with
All the fun is over?
You'd be surprised how supportive people can be when you tell them that you have stopped drinking. I was! And now I can be in social situations and say "I don't drink anymore, but thanks anyway" and not feel left out. You can do this!
All the fun is over?
I really cant stand AA meetings. The whole higher power nonsense and the defeatist attitudes really turn me off. Sorry to anyone who likes AA but it is absolutly not a place I enjoy in the slightest. I've actually been telling my friends I am going to "detox" for a while. Since I am an avid marathoner and crossfitter nobody even questions it. But I used to be the life of any party. Now I feel like a bit of a wall flower lately.
What shall I do without my liquid courage?
All the fun is over?
You will be amazed what you can do. Seriously. I thought the same thing - would I be as funny without my gallon of Chardonnay to fuel my humor? I found out I was. It was really weird. In a good way, but weird nonetheless. You will be surprised.
All the fun is over?
Hey helix I'm on day 10 and I am having so much more fun with my daughter and husband than I do when I'm drinking to excess - we had so many rofl moments on the weekend cause my wit is so much quicker and I feel so much better - i honestly believe that you could end up being the life of the party and be sober - lets face it it's not difficult to be wittier amd faster on the uptake than drunk people you might just have them in stitches And people don't have to know you're not drinking, plenty of things you cn drink that look like one.
All the fun is over?
You have been brainwashed to believe you need alcohol to have a good time and to be "the life of the party". Well take it from a guy who was "the life of the party " for over 20 years. Alcohol does not make you more likeable, it doesn't make the music or the company any better, all it does is put you in a state where you really don't care.
The reality is alcohol causes problems because it makes people not care if they make a fool of themselves or if they insult someone or if they dance on the table and accidentally break it.
I never thought I could have fun without alcohol, my life for over 20 years revolved around planning on my next alcohol fueled function, then getting wasted at it. I don't remember most of it, like my wedding and my graduation and the birth of my child, or any other wedding, or graduation or birthday for that matter. When you are under the influence you don't really enjoy other people or special events, because you are basically numbing yourself to the point that you really just don't care.
I have more real fun and more enjoyable experiences in the last 2 years sober than the 27 years I spent obsessing over getting my drink refilled. I learned that now I get to decide whether I have fun. If I want to have a good time, I decide that I am going to a party or a ballgame or even a club and I have a good time, and not only do I really enjoy myself, I also remember it, and I am not embarrasssed by the crap I didn't remember doing the night before...because I don't do stupid drunken stuff anymore.
When I believed I was missing out, and that I needed alcohol my social life sucked, but then I realized it was just my perception and the training I had from watching 30 years of propaganda on the TV that told me I needed to drink a beer to be the cool guy at the party. Retrain your brain, and you will find contentment and lots of memorable fun living sober.
And for the record, I am not an AA person, but I did do a year of meetings 10 years ago, and anyone who says they are fun must be going somewhere different that me!

I agree with the group, but would like to add...that fun person is STILL in there! If you love to laugh and talk with other people... that did not go away with the bottle. But it does take some practice to dig it back out. We had such a easy crutch with AL, now it takes some work to get to it, but trust me, that 'life of the party' can still be fun...WITHOUT all the embarrassment that your mind is editing out. Selective recall: Being the ASS of the party. It may take you some time, but you will get comfortable....I was saying in the NN a couple weeks ago, someone mentioned that they felt like a sore thumb by being the only nondrinker...being a sore thumb didn't seem to bother me when I was the only loud, sloppy drunk person at a party! Being sober is just new....you will see now that what you were doing wasn't so fun after all....Byrdie
All the fun is over?
Ironicly enough I rarely made a fool out of myself while being drunk. I think that is part of the problem for me. I hold my alcohol very well. I was drinking 12 - 18 beers daily. But I could function well and rarely had nights I regretted. I didn't slur, act irrational, or loose balance, I just slipped into a bliss every evening with beer. I definitly didn't really give a sh!t about anything. I am noticing now all the little things I put off (laundry, bills, etc..) are getting done. But there is a void and I am lonely.
I am noticing my relationships chage. I usually kept most people at arms length. Partly because I didn't want them to see how much I really drank and partially because they got in the way of my drinking. The problem now is everyone is at arms length and I don't want to drink so much.
It is hard to find comfort in thinking I was a mess when I was drunk when I don't believe I was. I do notice my wit getting a bit sharper and my anxiety is less. This Baclofen is amazing. I am on day 40 or so and I am definitly sliding out of my alcoholic binds I feel the change in my brain chemestry and it is exciting but at the same time I am getting incredibly restless..
Mostly, I am bored!
All the fun is over?
Did alcohol make you not bored? Or did it just not make you care whether you were bored or not?
I also thought I held my alcohol extremely well....but sometimes I didn't. Most people couldn't tell when I was 12-18 beers in, but if I went to 20+ and threw in a couple of shots, I was noticably drunk.
Don't force yourself to expect to have too much fun at first. It took me about 3 months before I started feeling comfortable in my own skin and able to enjoy a night out sober. But I found that the reality was I get to decide if I'm bored or if I want to have fun. I always kept everyone at arms length also, but now there are people who are wanting to get closer to me, because I am positive and healthy and upbeat and excited about the future and what sobriety is doing for me.
Saying that you are bored or asking is the fun over are all just excuses you are giving yourself to have the option to drink again. If you are bored and can't have fun without the booze, it's not an alcohol problem, it's a YOU problem. Remember there are no reasons to drink, only excuses.

North Pole 2012: Explorers Ready To Go!Posted on the 01 March 2012 by Kungfujedi @Kungfujedi
Traveling to the North Pole presents some very unique and difficult challenges over a journey to the South. For starters, Antarctica actually has solid land underneath the polar icecap, while the Arctic is actually one giant slab of ice floating above the Arctic Ocean. That means that the ice is far less stable, and Arctic explores often have to deal with large open areas of water, called leads, that they must somehow find a way around, or cross. In recent years, those open leads have become larger and more frequent, particularly at the start of the journey, with global climate change usually being blamed.
Arctic explorers also have to deal with a frustrating phenomenon known as negative drift as well. Negative drift is caused when the large slab of ice they are traveling across actually floats further south, carrying them away from their intended destination at 90ºN. It is not uncommon for someone traveling in the Arctic to spend a full day covering ten miles of distance, only to stop for the night and have negative drift carry them in the opposite direction. More than one Arctic explorer has found that they are significantly further away from the North Pole when they wake up the next morning than they were when they went to sleep.
Those aren't the only challenges to Arctic travel either. For instance, the unstable nature of the ice can cause large areas of it to collide with one another, causing it to crack and break. This can create large debris fields filled with massive boulders of ice which can be extremely difficult to cross, particularly when you're dragging a sled filled with equipment and gear behind you. Additionally, when traveling through the Arctic, explorers need to carry a shotgun with them to help dissuade the polar bears from getting a little too close. In the Antarctic, explorers never encounter anything more vicious than a penguin.
As I write this, two expeditions are preparing to get underway. The Irish North Pole team, consisting of Clair O'Leary and Mike O'Shea, are waiting for word on whether or not their flight to Cape Discovery will fly today. Joining them on that flight will be Japanese solo skier Yasunaga Ogita, who hopes to complete an unsupported journey of his own to the North Pole.
In the days ahead, more teams, including a large contingent from the Indian Army, will head out on the ice. Lets just hope they have better luck than last year, when bad storms at the start of the season delayed flights long enough that most of the explorers simply gave up and went home. The window for skiing to the North Pole is a very narrow one, and the journey has only gotten tougher in the past few years. I hope that everyone at least gets a fair shot at achieving their goals in 2012.

By Ellen Mehling, Career Development Consultant, METRO
The economy and technological change have changed the job market, for information professions and other fields. These changes have affected what employers look for and value, what job hunters should expect, and the trajectory of individual careers. Even the way employers process applicants has changed.
While things may be improving economically, however slowly, some of the changes brought about by the state of the economy and technological innovation may be here to stay. More and more people are working in consulting or project or temp positions that are understood to be short term from the start. Without others who know you well and are willing to recommend or hire you, and a clear message of what you have to offer, it can be very difficult to sustain forward motion in your career.
Networking and building your reputation and "brand" (also called "personal brand") are more important than ever, to continuing success as an information professional. You have to do more than just show up and do your job well from nine to five. If you are job hunting, you can be sure your competitors are doing more, some of them much more. Potential employers will check out your LinkedIn page. Those who may be thinking of contacting you with an opportunity will seek out those who know you to ask questions about your suitability. Recruiters will Google you.
What is your brand?
Reputation and brand are related concepts but are not exactly the same thing. Your reputation is what others think of you; it is their individual and collective opinions of you and your work, abilities and character. Your brand is how you present yourself. Ideally both are positive and strong and in harmony with each other, and both should be considered thoughtfully and attended to deliberately.
You create your reputation with every interaction with other professionals, whether intentionally or unintentionally, positively or negatively, face-to-face or online, and with what you do and with what you neglect to do. Each conversation is an opportunity to strengthen your reputation or damage it.
Regarding your "brand", you want to be clear and specific when communicating what you have done and what you have to offer to a potential ally or recruiter or employer. Many information professionals have multiple skill sets. It is best to decide on one or two that you want most to be known for right now, and focus on and emphasize those. If you try to include everything (in your LinkedIn headline, for example) you will quickly run out of space, and worse, you'll risk looking desperate or like a "jack of all trades, master of none". The best tactic is to find a 'niche'; something for which you have a specialized knowledge and aptitude and for which there is a demand, and promote yourself with that as your specialty . This niche can include what you do in your current job or can extend beyond it.
Building your brand
Your LinkedIn page is a logical place to start. Be sure to include the right keywords on your page so those you'd want to find you can do so easily. It is also beneficial to give (genuine) recommendations to others on LinkedIn and request them from those who know you well. LinkedIn is not your only option, though. You can also present and build your personal brand online via a portfolio, your own blog or website, by guest writing on the blogs of others, and/or by participating in discussions on LinkedIn and other professional sites and listservs.
Face-to-face interactions are important to your reputation too, especially as it will help others to feel that they really know you. Give careful thought to how you introduce yourself. When deciding on what to include in your "elevator speech", ask yourself "How do I want to be remembered by this person?" If you are looking for work it is much better to introduce yourself with what you are doing now (besides looking for work) and what you are able to do, than by saying, "I got laid off a year and a half ago." If you introduce yourself with only your current job title, you may miss out on opportunities because those you meet won't be aware of other things you have to offer.
Some other suggestions for building both your reputation and brand are volunteering, freelancing, writing, and lecturing/public speaking. Service in library-related professional organizations offers a number of ways to get yourself known in a positive way to others in the field: you can serve as an officer in the organization, help to plan an event, write for a blog or newsletter, or work on a committee or task force. You can also present at local, regional, national or international conferences. These may involve a significant investment of time and effort but they can bring you big rewards down the road.
Aside from expertise you can offer related to your niche, common-sense characteristics and soft skills, or the lack of them, can make or break your reputation. Be reliable, punctual, flexible and pleasant to work with. Keep promises and meet deadlines routinely and over-deliver whenever you can. Make sure your requests are respectful and all favors large or small are followed by a "thank you". Share your knowledge, advice, ideas and connections for the benefit of your network.
Staying on track
There are a few threats to your reputation that can be very difficult to recover from. You can expect dishonesty or scamming to be a deal-breaker every time. Those who become aware of your lies or attempts at manipulation will never forget them or trust you again, and word can spread quickly. Other forms of dishonesty, such as blaming others for your mistakes or taking credit for the ideas or accomplishments of others, can also lead to burned bridges.
Other behaviors, such as online arguments or attacks on others or publicly expressing negativity about the profession, can do damage that is both immediate and long-lasting. What you say online can remain there for a long time, to be found by anyone who cares to do a little research. Remember too, that anything you post publicly under your real full name can affect your professional reputation, even if it is on your own blog or Twitter account or even Facebook. Google yourself regularly, and as much as you can, control the information that is retrieved by a search.
It takes time to build a reputation and brand. It's not enough just to say "I have done this, I can do this"; you have to have a track record of jobs in which you have acquired skills and experience, and people who know and trust you and are willing to vouch for you and recommend you. This is an ongoing career task and is never really finished.
Just as a company brands itself and its products, your successful reputation-building requires deliberate planning and action. Decide where you want to be in the future and how you are going to present yourself in order to get there. Create and cultivate your reputation and brand carefully and you'll have a better chance of a successful job hunt and a strong career.

Alcohol abuse is prevalent in HIV infected patients and is associated with suboptimal responses to antiretroviral therapy (ART). Both HIV and alcohol abuse predispose to infections at mucosal sites of which bacterial pneumonia is a common complication. During the last funding period, we found that experimental pneumonia using Streptococcus pneumoniae in alcohol fed, SIV-infected macaques resulted in statistically significant higher viral loads in the lung. This may be due to increased virus production by prolonged activation of cells (either CD4+ macrophages or CD4+ T-cells) and/or due to reduced SIV-specific cytotoxic CD8+ T-cells. Our lab has also demonstrated that IL-17 and IL-22, products of a subset of CD4+ T-cells, Th17 cells, play critical roles in mucosal immunity against extracellular bacterial infections in the lung. SIV infection leads to a loss of mucosal IL-17 producing T-cells and reduces expression of mucosal IL-17 and IL-22 resulting in Impaired local bacterial control in the intestine. Whether a similar depletion of Th17 cells occurs in the lung is unknown. Furthermore, preliminary studies show that alcohol suppresses IL-17 production by murine and non-human primate T-cells in vitro. These data suggest that alcohol and HIV/SIV may have additive or synergistic effects on mucosal T-cell populations and immunity in the lung. Additionally alcohol may impair T-cell reconstitution during ART. These data lead us to hypothesize that chronic alcohol ingestion is additive or synergistic with SIV to impair CD4+ Th-cell immune responses to extracellular pathogens. Utilizing our well-characterized model of intragastric ethanol feeding in the SIV rhesus macaque model, our Specific Aims are to: 1) Test the prediction that alcohol consumption will impair recovery of peripheral CD4+ T cells during ART treatment for SIV infection;2) Test the prediction that chronic alcohol consumption will impair the mucosal IL-17 and IL-22 responses to experimental pneumonia with S. pneumoniae as well as the generation of memory CD4+ T-cells after bacterial challenge. These experiments will improve our understanding on the respective roles of SIV, alcohol and the response to ART in terms of pulmonary mucosal immunity.
Alcohol and HIV are significant co-factors that predispose to infection. This project will investigate if alcohol and SIV (a model of HIV) depletes specific types of T helper cells which may explain in part the increased risk of opportunistic infections. This knowledge will not only advance our understanding of disease pathogenesis but also identify immune effector arms that can be the subject of future vaccine strategies to prevent infectious complications of HIV/AIDS.

Cincinnati-area brewers got together this week at Mt. Carmel Brewing Co. to create a special collaborative beer called Cincinnati Brewmasters' American Barleywine. Mt. Carmel provided me with some photos of the experience (see below) and an update about the beer itself. Mt. Carmel, Christian Moerlein, Listermann, Rivertown, Rock Bottom and Red Ear were involved in making the beer. The brewers came together to help promote Cincinnati Beer Week, which takes place Feb. 2-9. The collaboration beer is expected to be available in mid-January.
"It's only been fermenting for two days and we are all as eager as the next guy for the first taste, but I can tell you what to expect in terms of the style and the characteristics we were looking to bring out," Mt. Carmel brewer Vergil Roesel said. "This collaboration brew is the biggest beer that Mt. Carmel has ever made. That's how barleywines are -- they're huge beers, chock full of malt body. This will be one of those offerings you can cellar -- if you're enjoying it at Cincinnati Beer Week with us you'll pick up on the fresh hop flavor throughout the beer. Cellaring will allow the hops to mellow bringing out a richer, more elegant mouth feel and finish. If this beer were brewed centuries ago, there would be armadas of ships spanning the oceans to seek it out. We'll be able to prove this claim at first taste, which will happen with all the Cincinnati brewers involved at Mt. Carmel Brewing in a few weeks."

Chinese to english Translation: Instruction Manual incl. Design work
- Status Closed
- Budget $30 - $250 USD
- Total Bids 20
Project Description
Hi there,
I have a instruction manual which is written in chineses. Its about a fashion/health product. Within the manual there are 8 images of how to use the fashion / health items. Most instructions are written like simple steps to follow, point 1-4, instructions of how to wash the item, then on some images there are direct instructions with arrows pointing to within the image.
We need this manual translated into english. Basically I will send you a scan of the origional manual and you just replace the chineses writting with the correct english (keep the layout, but just change the writting). There are about 700 signs of writting. Next step then will be that I will send you a second translation (diffrent language) and you will put that in place of the english translation. So in the end I will have an english (from you) and a spanish (what I send to you) manual.
Please ask if anything is not clear.

Today a series of fatal shootings at the Washington Navy Yard left at least 12 dead, including one suspected gunmen, according to D.C. police. In response to the shootings, several Redditors started discussion threads under the newly created (and quickly deleted) "/findnavyyardshooters" subreddit. The only rule was "NO PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT LEADS UNLESS YOU'RE REALLY SURE," a nod to a similarly named /findbostonbombers subreddit, created during the hunt for the Boston Marathon bombings in April and since made private by administrators.
While it's not clear if the Navy Yards subreddit itself was meant to be satirical, several of its threads, like this one, which had the title, "Warning: suspect is extremely armed and dangerous," appeared to poke fun at a subset of the Reddit community that has become known for misguided vigilantism that some have called the modern-day witch-hunt.
Many of the /findbostonbombers subreddit's contributors took it upon themselves to conduct a very public, rumor-fueled terrorism investigation that incorrectly identified a missing, deceased Brown University student as the bomber. In the aftermath of the Redditors' incorrect identification, Reddit publicly apologized for the subreddit's activities that "fueled online witch hunts and dangerous speculation which spiraled into very negative consequences for innocent parties." Considering the community's pessimistic reaction to r/findnavyyardshooters and its ultimate banning, has Reddit learned its lesson?

The Book of Teaby Kakuzo Okakura
Pub. Date: 01/28/2009
Publisher: Wilder Publications
The Book of Tea is a brief but classic essay on tea drinking, its history, restorative powers, and rich connection to Japanese culture. Okakura felt that "Teaism" was at the very center of Japanese life and helped shape everything from art, aesthetics, and an appreciation for the ephemeral to architecture, design, gardens, and painting. In tea could be found one source of what Okakura felt was Japan's and, by extension, Asia's unique power to influence the world. Containing both a history of tea in Japan and lucid, wide-ranging comments on the schools of tea, Zen, Taoism, flower arranging, and the tea ceremony and its tea-masters, this book is deservedly a timeless classic and will be of interest to anyone interested in the Japanese arts and ways.

This is not a book about tea. It is more about the history of teaism, an ancient philosophy, and the author's thoughts about how it compares to current ways of living. He does view western ways critically. However, i enjoy learning about others varying beliefs and cultures. You will also learn some asian history, again, as presented through the understanding and views of the author. I did learn some history of how tea was presented. I would reccomend if you enjoy tea and would like a light read on teaism. Cheers
Kakuzo Okakura indeed has a way with words. The Book of Tea originallly written as an essay is penned in the most poetic fashion. It is truly and excellent read. Enjoy!!

Current Activities
Leave of Absence Policy
The Governor's School is state funded, highly competitive, and interested in fostering a very strong sense of community among its participants. Therefore, it is believed to be inappropriate for students who have accepted a place at AGS to take temporary leaves from the program. Time away from the program has an undesired effect on student participation, both for the individual and for the Governor's School community at large. We know that gifted and talented students will have many quality opportunities during the summer. Although we hope that students invited to attend AGS will accept our invitation to attend for the full six weeks, we understand that other choices are available and difficult decisions must be made. For students desiring to take advantage of other opportunities that coincide with AGS, students should decline the AGS invitation which will allow another student to be invited to benefit from the entire program.
Temporary leaves will be granted for certain situations and only these situations. Requests for special leaves of absence must be made in writing at least one (1) week in advance and include explicit justification for the leave. A leave may be granted for the following situations:
● unplanned personal or family emergencies
● weddings of immediate family members
● extremely important events of major personal, regional, or national significance
Leaves will not be granted if:
● proper paperwork has not been filled out and submitted according to the one week timeline
● the leave is for a period of more than 2 class days
● the leave is during the first 3 days or the last 3 days of the program
● the student has already been granted a leave

BETHESDA, MD 22 Mar 2016—The labeling for all immediate-release opioid products must have a boxed warning and state that they "should be reserved for pain severe enough to require opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options . . . are inadequate or not tolerated," FDA announced today.
"When this action is finalized," said Doug Throckmorton, deputy director for FDA's drug regulatory programs, "we're going to need to change the labels of 87 innovator products and 141 generics. It's a much larger action than we took in 2013."
That action in 2013 affected the labeling for about 8 extended-release and long-acting opioid products, Throckmorton said during a briefing for reporters.
One of the results of that 2013 action is the boxed warning that now appears in the labeling of all extended-release and long-acting opioid products.
The intention of the "new indication" for immediate-release opioid products, Throckmorton said, is to "remind" prescribers that those products contain powerful drugs with important safety concerns and "need to be used with great care after careful discussion between patients and their doctors."
He said the agency is also requiring the addition of a medication guide to help patients avoid serious adverse effects from using immediate-release opioid products.
FDA, in announcing the labeling changes, said the boxed warning will emphasize to clinicians "the serious risks of misuse, abuse, addiction, overdose and death" for patients using an immediate-release opioid product.
The boxed warning will also state that chronic use of opioids by pregnant patients can result in their babies having neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, FDA said.
Sharon Hertz, director of the FDA division that reviews analgesia drug products, said the agency informed the drug companies by letter today.
Review of the material that will be submitted by the companies is expected to be completed by the end of 2016, she said.
The upcoming boxed warning, stated Deborah Pasko, with the ASHP Center on Medication Safety and Quality, should not stop healthcare providers from prescribing the immediate-release products if opioid therapy is truly needed, even in pregnant patients.
"I would encourage pharmacists to continue medication counseling based upon patient-specific needs and medication therapies" regardless of the drug or whether a product's labeling bears a boxed warning, she said.
But with the "heightened awareness" to opioids, Pasko added, pharmacists should "pay special attention" to any type of opioid therapy.
Along with announcing that the labeling for all immediate-release opioid products will have a boxed warning, new indication, and medication guide, FDA said the labeling for all opioids products will have information about the following risks:
The information will appear in sections of the labeling other than the boxed warning, FDA said.
ASHP is the national professional organization whose more than 43,000 members include pharmacists, student pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians who serve as patient care providers on healthcare teams in acute and ambulatory settings.

A flock of turkeys were hunkered down in our back yard
today after the snow. They looked really dismal. A couple
of them came up near the house - I wonder if they have been
fed somewhere else and were begging - but the rest of them
stayed down by the garden fence - seven or eight, maybe more.
They parade through our drive, around the house, and down
the hill many days, but today they really looked as if they
were not enjoying the snow.

Problem 4: Natural Selection Struggles to Fix Advantageous Traits in Populations
Editor's note: This is Part 4 of a 10-part series based upon Casey Luskin's chapter, "The Top Ten Scientific Problems with Biological and Chemical Evolution," in the volume More than Myth, edited by Paul Brown and Robert Stackpole (Chartwell Press, 2014). The full chapter can be found online here. Other individual installments can be found here: Problem 1, Problem 2, Problem 3, Problem 5, Problem 6, Problem 7, Problem 8, Problem 9, Problem 10.
In 2008, 16 biologists from around the world convened in Altenberg, Austria, to discuss problems with the modern neo-Darwinian model of evolution. The journal Nature covered this "Altenberg 16" conference, quoting leading scientists saying things like:
- "[T]he origin of wings and the invasion of the land . . . are things that evolutionary theory has told us little about."49
- "You can't deny the force of selection in genetic evolution . . . but in my view this is stabilizing and fine-tuning forms that originate due to other processes."
- "The modern synthesis is remarkably good at modeling the survival of the fittest, but not good at modeling the arrival of the fittest."
In Problem 3, we learned that mutations cannot generate many complex traits in living organisms on reasonable evolutionary timescales. But mutations are only part of the standard evolutionary mechanism -- there is also natural selection. And Darwinian evolution not only commonly fails to explain the "arrival of the fittest" via mutations, but also often struggles to explain the "survival of the fittest" via natural selection.
Evolutionary biologists often assume that once mutations produce a functionally advantageous trait, it will easily spread (become "fixed") throughout a population by natural selection. For example, imagine a population of brown-haired foxes which lives in a snowy region. One fox is born with a mutation which turns its fur coat white, rather than brown. This fox now has an advantage in hunting prey and escaping predators, because its white fur provides it with camouflage in the snow-filled environment. The white fox survives, passing its genes on to its offspring, which are also adept at surviving and reproducing. Over time, the white-haired trait spreads throughout the population.
This is how it's supposed to work -- in theory. In the real world, however, merely generating a functionally advantageous trait does not guarantee it will persist, or become fixed. For example, what if by chance the white fox trips, breaks a leg, and gets eaten by a predator -- never passing on its genes? Random forces or events can prevent a trait from spreading through a population, even if it provides an advantage. These random forces are lumped together under the name "genetic drift." When biologists run the mathematics of natural selection, they find that unless a trait gives an extremely strong selective advantage, genetic drift will tend to overwhelm the force of selection and prevent adaptations from gaining a foothold in a population.
This underappreciated problem has been recognized by some evolutionary scientists who are skeptical of the ability of natural selection to drive the evolutionary process. One of those scientists is Michael Lynch, an evolutionary biologist at Indiana University, who writes that "random genetic drift can impose a strong barrier to the advancement of molecular refinements by adaptive processes."50 He notes that the effect of drift is "encouraging the fixation of mildly deleterious mutations and discouraging the promotion of beneficial mutations."51 Likewise, Eugene Koonin, a leading scientist at the National Institutes of Health, explains, genetic drift leads to "random fixation of neutral or even deleterious changes."52
Complex Redundancy
In Lynch's view, there are many cellular systems which aid in survival, but are redundant. As a result, they serve as backup mechanisms that are only used when a highly effective primary system fails. Because they are only seldom used, these systems are only occasionally exposed to the sieve of selection. Yet these systems can be extremely complex and efficient. How can a system which is only rarely used, or only occasionally needed, evolve to such a high and efficient level of complexity? After observing the many "layers" of complex cellular mechanisms which are involved in processes like DNA replication, Lynch poses a crucial question:
Although these layered lines of defense are clearly advantageous and in many cases essential to cell health, because the simultaneous emergence of all components of a system is implausible, several questions immediately arise. How can selection promote the establishment of additional layers of fitness-enhancing mechanisms if the established primary lines of defense are already highly refined?53
Lynch doesn't believe natural selection is up to the task. In a 2007 paper in Proceedings of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences titled "The frailty of adaptive hypotheses for the origins of organismal complexity," he explains that among evolutionary biologists, "What is in question is whether natural selection is a necessary or sufficient force to explain the emergence of the genomic and cellular features central to the building of complex organisms."54 Using similar language, a paper in the journal Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling concludes that "it is important for biologists to realistically appraise what selection can and cannot do under various circumstances. Selection may neither be necessary nor sufficient to explain numerous genomic or cellular features of complex organisms."55 Lynch is clear in his views: "there is no compelling empirical or theoretical evidence that complexity, modularity, redundancy or other features of genetic pathways are promoted by natural selection."56
Damned if You Appeal to Selection, Damned if You Don't
In place of natural selection, however, evolutionary biologists like Lynch propose random genetic drift to explain the origin of complex biological features. According to Lynch, "many aspects of complexity at the genomic, molecular and cellular levels in multicellular species are likely to owe their origins to these non-adaptive forces, representing little more than passive outcomes..."57 But he recognizes that these "nonadaptive forces of evolution are stochastic in nature."58
Stochastic, of course, means random. Can a strictly random force -- which has no reason to preserve features that might provide some advantage -- explain the highly complex biological features -- like DNA replication or bioluminescence -- which appear finely tuned to perform useful biological functions? Biologist Ann Gauger is skeptical of Lynch's explanation, as she observes that he "offers no explanation of how non-adaptive forces can produce the functional genomic and organismal complexity we observe in modern species."59 Jerry Coyne similarly points out the major deficiency in appeals to genetic drift:
Both drift and natural selection produce genetic change that we recognize as evolution. But there's an important difference. Drift is a random process, while selection is the anti-thesis of randomness. ... As a purely random process, genetic drift can't cause the evolution of adaptations. It could never build a wing or an eye. That takes nonrandom natural selection. What drift can do is cause the evolution of features that are neither useful nor harmful to the organism.60
Coyne further observes: "The influence of this process on important evolutionary change, though, is probably minor, because it does not have the molding power of natural selection. Natural selection remains the only process that can produce adaptation."61 But in a sense agreeing with Lynch, even he recognizes that "genetic drift is not only powerless to create adaptations, but can actually overpower natural selection."62
The debate over whether natural selection, or genetic drift, is more influential in evolution will undoubtedly continue. But there is little reason to believe that whichever side wins this debate, a viable materialistic solution will be offered. Evolutionary biology now finds itself facing a catch-22:
- Natural selection is too inefficient a mechanism to overcome random forces and fix the sort of complex adaptations we observe in populations because it is easily overpowered by random forces like genetic drift.
- Life is full of highly complex and efficient adaptations, but random genetic drift offers no justifiable reason to believe that such features will have any reason to arise.
In essence, genetic drift is like invoking the "mutation-selection" mechanism, but minus all of the selection. This subjects drift to all of the difficulties we saw in Problem 3, where random mutations were unable to build biochemical features like functional proteins, or simple protein-protein interactions, because multiple coordinated mutations were required to produce those traits. Absent selection, there is no reason for random mutations alone -- i.e. genetic drift -- to produce anything useful.
Unfortunately, the public is rarely made aware of these problems or this debate. According to Lynch, natural selection is typically portrayed as an "all powerful (without any direct evidence)"63 mechanism that can build complex biological features. He warns that "the myth that all of evolution can be explained by adaptation continues to be perpetuated by our continued homage to Darwin's treatise in the popular literature."64 The reality is that neither non-random forces like natural selection, nor random forces like genetic drift, can explain the origin of many complex biological features.

How we review products
Shu Uemura Precise Volume Mascara Waterproof Reviews
Lightweight mascaraThe product goes on very light. The brush definitely separates the lashes, but doesn't apply much product. You'll need to put multiple layers on for a more dramatic look. I found it fairly easy to remove with my regular evening face wash. After a few weeks, like all mascaras, the product dries out a little and starts to clump. — 8 years, 5 months agoJLaska | 6 reviews
Great for those Natural GirlsI'm a makeup minimalist generally (I don't want anyone to think I'm actually wearing makeup), and I love this mascara. Absolutely no clumping even on the first few uses, where I seem to usually pull globs out of most tubes. Love the brush, and the brown color on my lashes plays them up without going overboard.. This is probably not for you if you want dramatic volume, but if you want a natural looking, easy to use product that stays put, this is your mascara. — 8 years, 7 months agohorseygirl | 3 reviews

Trade and Industrialization in Developing Agricultural Economies
This paper examines the impact of international trade on industrialization in developing agricultural economies. The findings show that developing agricultural economies that increased their openness during 1970-95 experienced an increase in their share of industrial production at the expense of agricultural production. This is in contrast to what many policymakers in these economies have often argued when trying to promote industrialization by restricting trade. The paper presents an infant industry model with learning effects from imports of manufacturing products that is consistent with the supporting empirical results.

A chiropodist is a person who specialises in caring for feet and treating foot disorders. If you are suffering from corns, bunions or other common foot problems, are a diabetic concerned about the health of their feet, or spend a lot of time standing up at work and are experiencing chronic foot pain, then you should visit a chiropodist to treat the issue.
In some parts of the world, chiropodists are more commonly called foot doctors. Whatever name these professionals go buy, one thing remains the same. Chiropodists are qualified medical professionals, and they should only practice if they are registered with the relevant association in your country.
It is important to find a Mississauga chiropodist that you trust, and one that is well versed in the latest practices and the most popular and beneficial orthotics and treatments. You may be able to get a recommendation for a chiropodist from your doctor. If not, ask your friends and family who takes care of their feet. If you have a health insurance policy, another option for finding a reputable chiropodist is to contact your insurance provider. Any approved podiatrist is most likely to be reputable.
One thing to consider is that many foot doctors have a specific area that they specialise in. Some may work a lot with ingrown toenails, others may treat infections, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis or other issues. If you have a chronic or recurring problem, you may want to find someone who has a lot of experience in dealing with that problem. Remember that your feet are one of the most stressed parts of your body. You probably take more than 5,000 steps each day; so it makes sense to take good care of your feet so that they can carry you for the rest of your life.

the only thing I recommend is making it longer. Otherwise it's a very wonderful piece of music.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
i could feel the sorrow in each note.. it was beautiful. its only the best pieces that you can actually feel the emotion.
i agree with akuma89, it could have been much longer.
Length seems to be a common criticism. Thanks for telling me and reviewing! :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
You can almost taste the sadness with this song. Maybe sounds kind of depressing but I think is beautiful, the strings in the background are sutil but clear. I just love how everything came together. You did a great work, keep it up!
Taste the sadness? I love that phrase! It inspires me, oddly enough. :P
Anyway, thanks for the review. I really appreciate it! :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Good song
Very nice. Interesting use of the strings in the background to add to the ethereal ambiance of the piece. Two questions:
1) What program did you use to create this?
2) Have you posted sheet music anywhere?
I used FL Studio, and I do have sheet music. Just send me a message. Thanks for reviewing. :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
not bad not bad at all
wow..this song is very good
i wish there was a sheet music to this piece so i could play it :PP
anyway...good job keep it up
If you are interested, I *DO* have sheet music. :P
