Poll: does this look like Duke Ellington or not? How about this? Washington D.C. wants to know.
- The Jazz Internet hubbub of this week centers around the band BADBADNOTGOOD, a young trio from Toronto known for instrumental covers of hip-hop and dubstep beats. They were profiled on the cover of NOW Magazine, a Toronto alt-weekly, where their brash comments about the jazz community drew the ire of many in the jazz world. Peter Hum has a strong response at jazzblog.ca; Alex Rodriguez writes about the band's racist implications; David Ryshpan comments as well; Anthony Dean-Harris defends the band a bit; and a Facebook thread started by Toronto trumpeter Nick "Brownman" Ali says a lot about musicians' consensus on the band. It might be pointed out that in addition to criticizing their attitudes, professional musicians and commentators have also roundly criticized their music itself. But hear for yourself: BBNG released a new free mixtape this week, available for download at the band's website.
- It's Jazz Appreciation Month again.
- The great drummer Jack DeJohnette is the subject of a JazzTimes cover story, plus a breakout feature on highlights from his discography. The man's about to be 70 and will swing you into bad health.
- Ten great jazz clarinet performances, picked by Ken Peplowski, no slouch on the horn himself. Also from JazzTimes.
- Bill Evans discussed his creative process in a 1966 documentary called The Universal Mind of Bill Evans. As Open Culture points out, all 44:16 of it is on YouTube. On a related note, more unreleased Bill Evans recordings are coming this summer.
- Satchmo was the original "king of pop." Other Nicholas Payton statements have been highly contested, but there really ought to be no argument for this.
- A look at a recording session, featuring saxophonist Paul Carr and a top-notch cast: Terell Stafford, Joey Calderazzo, Michael Bowie, Lewis Nash. A collaboration between The Independent Ear and the Jazz Video Guy.
- Butch Warren released a CD this week. Yes, the same Butch Warren on all those Blue Note records and of Thelonious Monk's band. The link goes to his brief bio.
- Benny Golson, saxophone/composer giant, answers questions from the Detroit Free Press. "I want my melodies to not only strike the medium of the air and the ears but the deepest grotto of the heart's core." Yea man.
- Eight tracks for new jazz listeners, from Ted Gioia, author of The History of Jazz.
- A CD reviewed, then "unreviewed" due to a political dispute with the musician.
- The Map Of Jazz, a multimedia interactive. Haven't played with this much yet but this looks interesting. For all you visual thinkers in the room.
- The Juno Awards, Canada's answer to the Grammys, were handed out last weekend. The jazz winners are up at jazzblog.ca.
- Yes, that's correct, Groove Notes.
- How to make a jazz record cover: the flow chart.

2014 Subaru Forester: LA Auto Show
- Subaru revealed all-new Forester at this year's LA Auto Show.
- Choice of two 4-cylinder engines: 2.5-liter or turbocharged 2-liter.
- New Forester will be most fuel-efficient vehicle in its segment.
Subaru unveiled the fourth generation of the Forester at the 2012 LA Auto Show. The iconic Forester crossover first debuted for the 1998, and is one of Subaru's bestselling models. The 2014 Subaru Forester is more powerful, fuel-efficient and capable than ever.
For 2014, Subaru offers two models of the Forester: the 2.5i and the 2.0XT. The 2.5i features a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder 170 horsepower "boxer" engine (so called because the cylinders are mounted opposite of each other, like two boxers squaring off). The 2.5i is available in four trim levels: base, Premium, Limited and Touring. The 2.0XT has a new 250 hp, turbocharged 2-liter 4-cylinder boxer engine. The 2.5i is available with two new transmission options: a 6-speed manual and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that Subaru calls "Lineartronic." The CVT has two shift modes: fully automatic and manual shifting activated by paddle shifters behind the steering wheel.
Just as with the last generation of Forester, all-wheel drive is standard. Despite the extra weight and drag of the all-wheel drive system, the Forester is expected to achieve 24 mpg in the city, 32 mpg on the highway, with a combined rating of 27 mpg, making it the most fuel-efficient all-wheel drive vehicle in its segment.
The all-new 2014 Subaru Forester is only slightly larger than the last generation at 1.4 inches longer and 0.6 inches wider. However, it has 6.4 cu-ft more of rear cargo room, totaling 74.7 cu-ft. Not only is the Forester more usable with 8.7 inches of ground clearance, but it also looks much sportier. Subaru has updated the hawkeye-style headlights to give it a more menacing look. The 2.0XT is even sportier, with a more aggressive bumper and a one-piece mesh grille. At the top of the range, Touring models get chrome accents around the fog light bezels for a classy look.
A backup camera with color display is standard on all 2014 Foresters, but navigation with smartphone connectivity is still an optional upgrade. Additionally, Subaru is offering its EyeSight driver assistance system on the new Forester. The EyeSight system utilizes dual cameras to monitor the road ahead and warn drivers of dangers--and will even automatically apply the brakes if needed.
What it means to you: Subaru updates the Forester to be more versatile and fuel-efficient, to stay ahead of the growing compact crossover competition,

Tyrannosaur was written and directed by
the actor Paddy Considine. It is his first full-length film as a
director and was released in 2011. It stars Peter Mullen (who plays
Joseph), Olivia Colman (Hannah) and Eddie Marsan (James) whose
excellent performances make this powerful drama so unforgettable.
Tyrannosaur has been very well reviewed, and won several
awards, including three British Independent Film Awards in 2011
(Best Actress, Best British Independent Film and Best Debut
Director) and a BAFTA in 2012 for Outstanding Debut for a British
Writer, Director or Producer. It is set in an unnamed town in
Northern England and was actually filmed on location in Leeds and
Wakefield, using local residents as extras.
The film opens with a most distressing scene of
unbridled rage as widowed ex-prisoner Joseph destroys the only
thing he really loves. This deeply unpleasant vision sets the tempo
for what follows as we are drawn in to his world of anger,
aggression and conflict, only occasionally relieved by some
lighter, humorous moments. It demonstrates the well-recognised
close association between love and hatred, so often present when
things go wrong within relationships, that frequently becomes a
focus of psychoanalytic psychotherapy sessions. Why do we hurt the
ones we love? That is the fundamental question that this film
After a pub brawl, Joseph takes refuge in a charity
shop where he encounters a volunteer sales assistant, Hannah, who
tries to reach out to him in his obvious distress, buoyed up and
driven by her Christian beliefs. Joseph initially responds in his
characteristic way, by being hurtful and abusive to Hannah and
humiliating her for attempting to be kind. However, it soon becomes
clear that all is not what it seems in her suburban middle class
marriage to James and this draws Joseph closer to her, perhaps
united by their shared unhappiness and despair. The viewer soon
learnss that she is struggling to survive emotional and physical
abuse perpetrated by her husband James, which is portrayed in
harrowing scenes that pull no punches. As Joseph and Hannah's
friendship forms and then deepens, the cracks in Hannah's marriage
develop and spread, with ultimately disastrous
Tyrannosaur is a film about anger and violence that is
portrayed in a painfully realistic way. This anger is embodied both
by an individual, Joseph, who is consumed by rage, and by a couple,
Hannah and James, whose middle class marriage is destroyed
catastrophically by domestic violence. The film eloquently makes
the point that physical and emotional abuse can be found in all
areas of society. Anger is something that will certainly be
encountered by those working in the field of mental health at some
time in their career, if not throughout it, but anger also affects
those working in many other areas of healthcare, including in
general practice. Tyrannosaur gives the viewer the
opportunity to experience, at close hand, anger that is out of
control and in particular gives insight in to the important issue
of intimate partner violence, often hidden from view in apparently
satisfactory relationships.
Those employed in the health and social care
professions are often the first port of call for victims of
domestic violence and it is crucial that professionals are vigilant
about the possibility, and ask the right questions of an individual
who may be subject to partner abuse. A recent editorial in the
British Medical Journal in March 2012, called Responding to
domestic violence in primary care (BMJ
2012;344:e757), highlighted the need for clinicians in
primary care to routinely enquire about intimate partner violence
in order to increase its detection. Further consideration was given
to the topic in an earlier article in the BMJ entitled Violence
between intimate partners: working with the whole family
doi: 10.1136/bmj.a839). The Department of Health
published a document, in 2005, containing guidance on managing
domestic violence (Responding to domestic abuse: a handbook for
healthcare professionals) that can be accessed and downloaded
from the following
A viewing of Tyrannosaur alongside a
reading of these articles and guidance would provide a very good
platform for discussion and learning about the very important issue
of domestic violence. But perhaps the film can also give an
understanding to viewers who have grown up in circumstances largely
free of anger and violence, what it might be like to live in such
an environment. For medical students, lacking a first hand
experience of violence, who may find themselves treating people
from a wide variety of unfamiliar backgrounds, this film may offer
invaluable insights in to some of those foreign territories.
Be warned, this is not an easy film to watch, but
it is well worth the challenge.

Omersa Reindeer Handcrafted Miniature Footstool
Reindeer Handcrafted Miniature Footstool. After mastering the art of making pigs, Dimitri Omersa embarked on expanding the range of animals. He started by introducing the very popular rhinocerous, elephant and donkey. He struck up an "exclusivity" deal with Liberty's of Regent Street, London in the early 1960's to sell these items. This arrangement expired during the mid 1970's. Animals from this period can be found with the word "LIBERTY" embossed on the underside of an ear! Dimitri Omersa had to look overseas to expand his market. He took the animals to North America (originally sold through Abercrombie and Fitch) and developed a significant following which we continue to enjoy. North River Outfitter has continued the legacy of Abercrombie and Fitch in North America and today has one of the largest collections of Omersa footstools around.
Whether you want to take the weight off you feet or simply enjoy the company of our appealing and unique handcrafted leather animal footstools, individually crafted just for you. They make wonderful presents for a special person, and large or small there is one for every occasion. The animals are made in Lincolnshire, England using the highest quality materials and standards of traditional craftsmanship. No two animals produced are alike which adds to the uniqueness of the product. This is the perfect addition to any home, and the perfect gift for the person who has it all.
Reindeer Size: 12"L x 4"W x 10"H
*Due to being handmade and a high volume of orders, there is currently an 8-12 month lead time for all Omersa animals.

China begins self-immolation trial, Makes more arrests
[Tuesday, January 29, 2013 14:04]
A screen shot of the two Tibetans standing trial in a Chinese court in eastern Tibet.
DHARAMSHALA, January 29: A Chinese court in eastern Tibet began trial on two Tibetans, including a monk of the Kirti Monastery, on alleged crimes of inciting self-immolations in the Ngaba region.
China's official
news agency on January 26 cited a statement issued by the Intermediate People's Court of Aba Prefecture as saying that Lobsang Konchok, 41, and his nephew Lobsang Tsering, 31, have been accused of "intentional homicide."
Proceedings of the trial have been widely broadcast and publicised in China via national media and television channels.
The report said the two Tibetans arrested in August last year were guilty of instigating eight Tibetans to self-immolate, resulting in three deaths.
Last month, Chinese authorities stated that the two had acted on the instructions of the Dalai Lama and his followers, a charge which the exile Tibetan administration vehemently denied.
The Central Tibetan Administration challenged China to prove their assertions and said it was ready for a probe by the Chinese authorities and invited them to send an investigative team to the exile Tibetan headquarters in Dharamshala.
CTA said, "such statements from a state known to resort to torture and detention of individuals without due judicial process can only be received with scepticism from the international community."
"If China genuinely wishes to end the self-immolations, instead of resorting to the blame game it should allow unfettered access to international bodies to Tibetan areas to investigate the root causes for these self-immolations," Sikyong Dr Lobsang Sangay, the elected head of the Tibetan people said.
Also last week, China announced the arrest of two more Tibetans in the Rebkong region of eastern Tibet for "crimes" related to the ongoing wave of self-immolation protests.
According to Xinhua, Dolma Kyab, 25, a monk at the Dowa Monastery was arrested on November 19 after he was found to have stored gasoline in a hotel room, while Phagpa, 27, was held on charges on inciting Dolma Kyab to self-immolate.
The report cited police as saying that Phagpa had maintained close contact with key members of the Tibetan Youth Congress, the exile based largest pro-independence group.
Earlier this month, TYC had dismissed similar charges, calling them "baseless and fallacious."
"Instead of hurling such baseless and fallacious allegation, the Chinese government should heed to the fiery cries of the Tibetan people inside Tibet demanding to reinstate our leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama in an Independent Tibet," Tsewang Rigzin, president of TYC said.
Despite repeated international calls for restraint and reconsideration of its policies in Tibet, China has hardened its stance on the self-immolation protests and announced stricter measures including pressing of murder charges against anyone caught aiding or inciting self-immolations and cash rewards for those "exposing crimes" related to the protests, which include offering condolences to families of the deceased.
The Dalai Lama has repeatedly called for "serious investigation" in to the self-immolations and noted that the protests are a symptom of problems that Tibetans did not create.

WASHINGTON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals Inc agreed to pay $95 million to U.S. government agencies to settle civil allegations that it illegally marketed drugs for unapproved uses, the U.S. Justice Department said on T hur sday.
Privately held Boehringer, which is based in Germany and has U.S. headquarters in Connecticut, promoted four drugs improperly, the department said in a news release.
The department cited the company's statement, for example, that Aggrenox could be used to treat certain heart conditions, even though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the drug to prevent secondary strokes. The company also claimed without evidence that Aggrenox was superior to Plavix, made by rival Bristol-Myers Squibb Co, the department said.
In a statement, Boehringer said it ``decided to resolve this matter in order to avoid the time and expense of continuing litigation. The settlement is ...not an admission of liability by the company.''
The other drugs involved were the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease drugs Atrovent and Combivent, and the hypertension drug Micardis.
The settlement ends a claim brought by a whistleblower in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Aircraft Systems Company Refused to Promote and Retaliated Against 61-Year-Old Employee, Federal Agency Charged
BALTIMORE –Baltimore-based MRA Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of General Electric, will pay $130,000 and provide substantial equitable relief to settle an age discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
The EEOC charged in its suit that MRA Systems gave Louis Behrendt a lower performance rating, despite his successful job performance, because of his age, 61. The EEOC also alleged that the company failed to assign Behrendt to a position as a Production Control Leader 5 and instead awarded the position, which had greater salary potential, to a younger, less qualified employee. Moreover, the company subjected him to unfair and heightened job scrutiny, gave him poor performance ratings and refused to promote him based on his age and in retaliation for his internal complaints about discrimination, the EEOC charged.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals who are 40 or older when making employment decisions, such as promotions, job assignments and performance ratings. The ADEA also forbids employers from retaliating against individuals who oppose age discrimination. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern District (Civil Action Number 1:08-cv-02499-WDQ) after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement out of court through its conciliation process.
In addition to the monetary relief to Behrendt, the three-year consent decree settling the lawsuit contains significant remedial measures, including enjoining the company from engaging in any employment practice which discriminates on the basis of age and prohibiting any unlawful retaliation. MRA Systems will provide at least two hours of mandatory training on federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination to all managers, supervisors and other employees who participate in the performance evaluation process or assignment decisions at its Maryland facility. The company will also post a notice on the resolution of the lawsuit.
"Age-based stereotypes about the abilities of older workers can result in older employees receiving lower performance ratings, lower compensation and fewer promotional opportunities than younger co-workers," said EEOC Regional Attorney Debra Lawrence of the EEOC's Philadelphia District Office, which oversees Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, Maryland and parts of New Jersey and Ohio. "We appreciate MRA Systems working with EEOC to reach a settlement that, in addition to providing compensation to Mr. Behrendt, is intended to protect all employees at the company's Maryland facility from being subjected to unfair treatment based on age."
In Fiscal Year 2009, age-based charges reached a total of 22,778, their second-highest level ever.
In July 2009, the EEOC held a public hearing on age discrimination and barriers to the employment of older workers. Additional information about the hearing can be found on the EEOC's web site at http://www.eeoc.gov/abouteeoc/meetings/7-15-09/index.html.
According to its web site, www.mras-usa.com, MRA Systems, Inc. is one of the world's leading suppliers of jet engine thrust reversers -- the brakes of a jet engine. The company also produces a variety of specialized structures for major aircraft manufacturers.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the Commission is available at its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

CHICAGO, Ill. (July 3, 2013) – Major League Soccer announced Wednesday that Chicago Fire forward Mike Magee has been voted the Major League Soccer Player of the Month for June by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR). Currently tied for the MLS lead in goals scored, Magee scored four goals in all four of the Fire's MLS matches in June.
Since joining the Fire from the LA Galaxy on May 25, Magee has led the Fire to an unbeaten June as the Men in Red went 3-0-1 in MLS play. Magee scored in the 2-0 victory against D.C. United on June 2, a 2-2 draw with the Portland Timbers on June 8 and 2-1 victory against the Colorado Rapids on June 19.
The Chicago native also assisted on Dilly Duka's equalizing goal and scored the game-winner in a 2-1 victory over the Columbus on June 22, leading the Fire to their first road win of the season.
This is Magee's second Player of the Month honor this season and his first as a Fire player. Magee started 2013 on an equally hot streak while with the Galaxy, scoring a hat trick in the Galaxy's home opener against the Fire on March 3, converted a penalty kick in the Galaxy's 1-0 win over the Colorado Rapids on March 24 and opened scoring in the Galaxy's 2-2 draw with Toronto FC on March 30.
The MLS Player of the Month is selected each month of the regular season by a panel of journalists from NASR. The group consists of members of print, television, radio and online media. More information and membership information can be found at www.soccerreporters.com.
In addition to his four goals and one assist in MLS regular season play during the month of June, Magee became the first player in Fire history to record a goal in each of his first seven matches across all competitions. The Chicago native has added three goals and two assists on the club's current run to the U.S. Open Cup semifinals.
This is the first time a Fire player has been named MLS Player of the Month since Brian McBride was honored in April 2009.
Part of Magee's first month with the Chicago Fire will be a feature segment on "MLS Insider" set to air this Friday, July 5 at 6:30 p.m. CT on NBC Sports Network.
Currently unbeaten in eight games across all competitions, the Fire host the San Jose Earthquakes at Toyota Park Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m. CT (My50/La Ley 107.9). The Fire then welcome Sporting Kansas City in a match presented by Quaker on Sunday, July 7 at 2:00 p.m. CT (ESPN/La Ley 107.9). The first 7,500 fans in the stadium on Sunday will receive an Austin Berry Bobblehead. Tickets for both matches are available by calling 888-MLS-Fire or by visiting www.Chicago-Fire.com.

Sounders achieve their goal
SEATTLE The Seattle Sounders showed why they have joined the MLS contender conversation on Sunday, fighting off the Portland Timbers 1-0 at CenturyLink Field.
Forward Eddie Johnson scored in the 60th minute as Seattle improved to 11-8-4 (37 points) and jumped into a tie for fifth place in the Western Conference with FC Dallas, which has played two more games than Seattle. The top five finishers make the playoffs.
Portland coach Caleb Porter blasted the officiating after Sunday's game.
"I thought the officiating was very lopsided, extremely lopsided, for whatever reason," Porter said, referring mostly to fouls and a yellow card on Portland central defender Pa Modou Ka that will take him out of Saturday's game with Real Salt Lake.
"They have guys who commit three, four fouls, the same one, no card, and we commit one and it's a card," Porter said. "Watch the tape. You explain it, because I can't understand it. We're talking the same exact foul, same exact foul, we're doing a foul, they're doing a foul, and we get a card and they don't get a card. Explain it. I don't get it. It makes no sense to me."
Porter applauded his players for being "tough team. We're not going to back down."
Said Seattle coach Sigi Schmid: "It was a hard-fought game. It was an exciting game, for sure, for the fans. I thought it was a little more physical than it needed to be. That took a little a bit away from the quality of the game, but obviously we are pleased with being able to get a clean sheet. We are pleased the one goal was enough to give us the three points, because that was the most important thing.
The Timbers are tied for third in the MLS West with 39 points, but Portland (9-4-12) has played two more matches than Seattle.
The Timbers share the No. 3 spot with Colorado (10-7-9).
Real Salt Lake (13-8-6) leads with 45 points, and the Los Angeles Galaxy are second (12-9-4, 40).
Johnson's 61st career MLS goal came from about the top of the six-yard box, off a free kick by Mauro Rosales. He is tied for 22nd on the league's all-time list.
Portland's best chance to equalize came in the 88th minute, but goalie Michael Gspurning tipped away Darlington Nagbe's hard shot. The Timbers also had a couple of good looks on headers in stoppage time.
The Timbers controlled play for much of the first half.
"We had good possession during the whole game and had some chances first half," Nagbe said. "If we just would have put one away and got a goal in the first half, I feel like we would have come out in the second half and got more control of the ball and controlled the game, but when they got that first goal, it changed the game a little bit.
A franchise-record crowd of 67,385 saw the Sounders take the Cascadia Cup lead at 2-1-1 (seven points). Vancouver is 1-1-2 (five points), and Portland is 0-1-3 (three points) in the three-way Northwest fan-initiated competition. Portland plays at Vancouver on Oct. 6, Seattle plays host to Vancouver on Oct. 9, and Seattle visits Portland on Oct. 13. Seattle can clinch the trophy with a win over Vancouver. Portland needs to b eat Vancouver to stay alive.
The Sounders have won four of their past five games, and Sunday's match featured the home debut of U.S. national team standout Clint Dempsey.

Erle Ellis is an environmental scientist and professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and a leading theorist of what scientists increasingly describe as the Anthropocene, the age of humans. Ellis has described the extent of humankind's impact on the planet, from extinctions and massive landscape changes caused by hunter-gatherers to the trend of growing agricultural productivity in response to population pressures. Ellis' early work focused on long-term ecological changes across China's village landscapes caused by the transition from traditional to industrially-based agricultural systems. Ellis has recently theorized the concept of "anthromes," as an alternative concept to "biomes," focusing specifically on human management and stewardship of hybrid human-natural systems.

About the Division of Sleep Medicine
The Division of Sleep Medicine (DSM) provides educational opportunities in sleep medicine to EVMS medical students of all levels and to residents. DSM staff give lectures and seminars to M1-M3 students. A lecture on sleep neuroscience is administered to M1 students and M2 student are given lectures on insomnia, parasomnias and excessive daytime sleepiness. M3 students are exposed to a seminar on drugs and sleep and given a lecture on the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. An elective 2 or 4 week sleep rotation for M4 students is also offered.
Each ENT intern rotates through the DSM for 2 weeks. This educational experience is multidisciplinary and includes exposure to an oral maxillofacial surgeon and a dentist interested in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Internal Medicine residents are assigned to the DSM for ½ day. Psychiatry residents also have the option of pursuing a month long sleep medicine elective.
Given the burgeoning information on the detrimental effects of insufficient sleep in medical professionals, frequent presentations to EVMS departments are given concerning the consequences of sleep loss.
The DSM has recently initiated a sleep medicine fellowship and has been accredited by the ACGME. This one year program accepted its first fellow July 2013 and has as its aim the development of the premier sleep specialists of the future.

Signed players available: 16
- Players missing: Sean Johnson (USMNT camp), Arne Friedrich (will join in California), Corben Bone (Atletico Madrid), Victor Pineda (meniscus recovery), Kellen Gulley and Tony Walls.
- Speaking of Sean Johnson, a big congrats to him on earning his first start, going the full 90 minutes and earning a clean sheet in the U.S. Men's National Team's 0-0 draw with Canada Tuesday night in Houston.
WATCH: Klopas talks Phase One of Camp
- Though he might not have known much about it, Johnson made the Save of the Game on Dwayne DeRosario's rocketing effort in the sixth minute. Watch full highlights here.
- Defender Tony Walls hasn't yet officially been waived while Kellen Gulley remains out of camp as the club seeks a potential loan for him.

- Midfielder Patrick Nyarko continues to do conditioning but hasn't trained in full with the team in Ave Maria. He'll once again be unavailable for Wednesday's match.
- Goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi has trained since Friday but the coaching staff is looking to evaluate the list of trialing goalkeepers as they look to fill the third spot on the roster. Don't expect to see the Italian 'keeper on Wednesday.
- After appearing there on Sunday, don't be shocked to see captain Logan Pause start once again at right back for the Fire. The veteran has played on the backline at various times in his 11-year Fire career. Asked about it Tuesday, Pause said, "I feel more than comfortable playing at right back."
- Trialing Fire defender Rich Balchan (pictured right above) spent two years with Columbus, appearing in 19 matches in 2011 before sports hernia issues kept him out for all of 2012.

Seeing a woman standing on the thin ledge on the other side of the guard rail on a bridge, ready to jump, this big hearted bus driver decided to try and save her.
In the video, you can see him stop and get out to grab the woman before she made a terrible mistake.

Solution Description
Businesses are no longer asking whether to use cloud computing, but how. A private cloud offers complete control of IT resources, alleviates multitenancy concerns, and is transparent.
The public cloud offers cost advantages, offloads overhead, and provides unlimited capacity. For nonspecialized applications, which environment best serves the business: private cloud or public cloud?
Technology Solution
A hybrid cloud is the most flexible and cost-effective, combining what internal IT does best with the capabilities of external service providers. In turn, IT's role changes from exclusive provider to "broker" of IT services.
Mission-critical applications and sensitive data stay in the private cloud while commodity applications reside in the public cloud. Some applications reside in both, scaling from private to public in peak periods, or with data moving between the private and public clouds.
EMC Solutions for the Hybrid Cloud enable enterprises to transform and deliver IT-as-as-service (ITaaS) with:
- Optimum agility and efficiency – Use EMC expertise to assess where workloads belong: private or public clouds. Couple with an EMC private cloud architecture to maximize the benefits of your hybrid cloud.
- Harmonious integration – Leverage unmatched VMware integration and expertise in Microsoft, Citrix, Red Hat, and OpenStack virtualization and cloud management for your private cloud. Use EMC service provider partners to scale capacity and move data seamlessly to the public cloud.
- Universal trust – Ensure security and compliance, manage risk, and uphold governance across your cloud environment.
- Proven success – Capitalize on global customer experience and within EMC as you transform to cloud computing and ITaaS.

Generex Announces Selection of Antigen Express Technology for Keynote Presentation at 2014 TIDES Conference
Company Representatives will also attend the 32nd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference next week in San Francisco
Jan 09, 2014, 09:30 ET
WORCESTER, Mass. and TORONTO, Jan. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Generex Biotechnology Corporation (www.generex.com) (OTCBB:GNBT) today announced that Dr. Eric von Hofe, PhD, President of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigen Express, Inc. (www.antigenexpress.com), will be a keynote speaker at IBC's 16th Annual TIDES Conference (www.IBCLifeSciences.com/Tides) to be held in Providence, RI from May 12-15, 2014. TIDES, Oligonucleotide and Peptide® Therapeutics from Research through Commercialization, is the premier meeting focused on the discovery and development of synthetic biologicals.
The keynote presentation, entitled "Peptide-Based Vaccines in the New Era of Cancer Immunotherapy", will focus on changes in the field of cancer immunotherapy and specific advances enabled by Antigen Express technology and strategy. In particular, the Company has been at the forefront of demonstrating the importance of activating specific immune cells (CD4+ T helper cells) in generating an effective immune response. Encouraging interim results from an ongoing Phase II study of the Company's lead compound in breast cancer patients has given strong support for that strategy.
The Company's lead compound, AE37, designed using Antigen Express technology, targets the HER2 protein that is specifically expressed on cancers of the breast as well as other cancers. HER2 has been shown to contribute directly to cancer cell growth. While the highly successful drug Herceptin (a monoclonal antibody) also targets HER2, it is only approved for use in roughly 25% of patients whose tumors express the highest levels of HER2. An additional 50% of patients have tumors that express low to intermediate levels of HER2 are not eligible for Herceptin. It is this population of breast cancer patients with unmet need that AE37 is particularly relevant to.
"AE37 is at the forefront of a new generation of off-the-shelf cancer vaccines that Antigen Express believes hold significant promise in the emerging field of cancer vaccines," said Dr. von Hofe. "The results from clinical trials we've seen so far certainly warrant further studies both in breast cancer patients as well as in other populations of cancer patients." The FDA has encouraged submission of a Phase III protocol based on results of an interim analysis of the Phase II AE37 study conducted in patients with breast cancer.
Dr. von Hofe and other representatives of Generex and Antigen Express will be attending meetings next week in San Francisco associated with the 32nd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference to update prospective collaborators on the companies' initiatives.
About Generex Biotechnology Corporation
Generex is engaged in the research, development, and commercialization of drug delivery systems and technologies. Generex has developed a proprietary platform technology for the delivery of drugs into the human body through the oral cavity (with no deposit in the lungs). The Company's proprietary liquid formulations allow drugs typically administered by injection to be absorbed into the body by the lining of the inner mouth using the Company's proprietary RapidMist™ device. Antigen Express, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Generex. The core platform technologies of Antigen Express comprise immunotherapeutic vaccines for the treatment of malignant, infectious, allergic, and autoimmune diseases. Antigen Express has pioneered the use of specific CD4+ T-helper stimulation technologies in immunotherapy. One focuses on modification of peptides with Ii-Key to increase potency, while a second relies on inhibition of expression of the Ii protein. Antigen Express scientists, and others, have shown clearly that suppression of expression of the Ii protein in cancer cells allows for potent stimulation of T-helper cells and prevents the further growth of cancer cells. For more information, visit the Generex website at www.generex.com or the Antigen Express website at www.antigenexpress.com.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This release and oral statements made from time to time by Generex representatives in respect of the same subject matter may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by introductory words such as "expects," "plan," "believes," "will," "achieve," "anticipate," "would," "should," "subject to" or words of similar meaning, and by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements frequently are used in discussing potential product applications, potential collaborations, product development activities, clinical studies, regulatory submissions and approvals, and similar operating matters. Many factors may cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements, including inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of risks and uncertainties, some of which are known and others of which are not. Known risks and uncertainties include those identified from time to time in the reports filed by Generex with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which should be considered together with any forward-looking statement. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results or events, and one should avoid placing undue reliance on such statements. Generex undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Generex cannot be sure when or if it will be permitted by regulatory agencies to undertake additional clinical trials or to commence any particular phase of clinical trials. Because of this, statements regarding the expected timing of clinical trials or ultimate regulatory approval cannot be regarded as actual predictions of when Generex will obtain regulatory approval for any "phase" of clinical trials or when it will obtain ultimate regulatory approval by a particular regulatory agency. Generex claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements that is contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.

With the astounding growth of the Internet over just the last few years has come a concomitant increase in the number of environmental information resources available on the Net. These resources come in a bewildering array: mailing lists, Usenet newsgroups, gopher servers and World Wide Web (WWW) servers, among others.
While this article will focus on Usenet newsgroups and some WWW
resources, a broader overview of environmental information sources is
contained in A Guide to Environmental Resources on the Internet, by
Carol Briggs-Erickson and Toni Murphy. Last updated in October 1994,
the guide is available via the following URL:
Subscribers to a group "post" articles (messages) which can then be commented on ("followed up") by other subscribers. An original message, along with all of its follow-ups, is called a thread. Anyone may read the accumulated threads in a newsgroup. Due to the sheer volume of Usenet news postings, older messages are normally deleted. Although message life varies from group to group, it is typically about two weeks.
To read newsgroups, users need access to a news server, which is often available through Internet Service Providers (ISP). The server maintains a database of Usenet articles and "serves up" groups, threads and articles as they are requested. Every news server maintains its own database of Usenet articles, generally accessible only by the clientele of the particular ISP. Not all ISPs carry all the newsgroups; in fact, some are quite selective. It is not unusual for an ISP to decline to carry any of the massive "alternative" (alt.*) hierarchy.
In addition to a news server, users need a newsreader to access Usenet. The reader interacts with the server by translating user requests into a form that can be understood by the server. It also formats for screen display the information returned by the server. Internet service provided by a shell account generally uses a UNIX-based reader, such as "rn," "nn," "trn" or "tin." When service is provided through a direct network connection, a SLIP account or TIA software, a desktop reader, such as NewsExpress, Trumpet Newsreader or WinVN, can be used.
Many newsgroups deal with environmental issues to varying extents. Some groups most directly related to the environment are listed below. The number of postings (messages) in each group on the server the authors used in late December 1994 is given in parentheses.
To provide a flavor for the kinds of discussions that take place, the following list shows a few of the current threads in the group sci.environment. Numbers following the asterisks indicate the number of articles (original posting plus follow-ups) in the thread. Where no asterisk exists, only an original article has been posted.
*15 We get no oxygen from trees! Nuclear Waste Disposal: A Reality Any urban environ. quality indexes? *2 ACGIH *3 CFC substitutes McDonalds on trial Good news about Kuwait *2 plaster of paris or gypsum reuse/recycling Radioactive smoke Question About Grazing On Public Lands *5 HELP ozone in lower vs. upper atmosphere Env vs Solar or Nuclear energy was Nuclear Waste Disposal *4 Radioactive smoke News for NIRS *7 Nuclear Waste Disposal: A Reality in Canada *2 RACHEL: Chemical Safety, Pt. 1 *8 Nuclear/Solar comparison (was Nuclear Waste Disposal) Internet connections on the Environment *2 GlobalWarming=CO2 UN Climate Change Bulletin #5 Laboratory Contaminants Top Soil Loss (Was: McDonalds on trial) *3 Nuclear Ship Lawsuit - Factum *10 Chernobyl Health Effects *2 Recycling Exclusions and exemptions, HAZMAT environmentally sound camping
Among the currently popular WWW viewers are Mosaic and Netscape. The viewers require "TCP/IP to the desktop," which can be achieved through a direct network connection, a SLIP or PPP account, or TIA software with a shell account. WWW information can be accessed through a shell account using a character-based (VT100) viewer known as Lynx, which delivers the textual portion of WWW pages, but the graphical component is always difficult, and sometimes impossible, to configure.
Resource discovery is perhaps the most tenuous aspect of WWW use.
There are so many server sites available that it is often difficult to
find the ones that deal with a specific category of information.
Fortunately, some Web sites have tackled the problem by categorizing and
grouping Web information resources. "Yahoo - A Guide to WWW"
http://akebono.stanford.edu:80/yahoo/) provides an
excellent entree to environmental information, with 191 sources
currently listed in its "Environment and Nature" category. Yahoo also
lets its users search WWW-space by keyword.
Among other environmentally oriented indexes are the following:
For those interested in federal law and policy regarding the
environment, the League of Conservation Voters maintains a service
detailing information about how Congressional representatives vote on
key environmental legislation, a summary rating of each representative's
environmental voting record and an explanation of each of the issues
considered. The site can be found at URL:
New Web resources come online daily, further complicating navigation of the network. But users who remain in touch with newsgroups often stay on top of the new products and services. Two groups which do a good job of announcing many of the new and interesting sites on the Net are comp.internet.net-happenings and comp.infosystems.announce.

Clean tech has become a major destination for investors, from venture capital firms to ordinary shareholders. The large and diverse sector, which covers everything from energy to transportation to construction, touches all sorts of industries and often blurs with other areas. Clean tech, like green, was once closely associated with the socially responsible investing movement, but its sheer size today has created a wealth of investment vehicles in alternative, as well as concepts such as energy efficiency and storage.
Here's a look at the largest funds, based on market capitalization. (Data is from Morningstar).
Not surprisingly, many of the select, top holdings include clean-tech industries such as solar, global water resources, fossil fuels alternatives, wind energy, global warming and carbon emissions. The timing couldn't be better as some analysts forecast $5 retail gasoline by the summer, as crude oil prices remain well over $100 a barrel.
But because clean-tech investing can be volatile, investment strategists generally advise dipping into this space as part of a larger, diversified portfolio plan.
Click ahead to see 10 select, large ETFs with a strong focus on clean-tech holdings. The data are based on one-year trailing returns as of Jan. 31.

Twitter revealed today that the social network has over 200 million monthly active users to date, an increase of 60 million users in nine months since Twitter announced 140 million monthly active users this past March.
Despite the changes taking place with Twitter, the social network doesn't appear to have been fazed by the aftermath of its API restrictions. In March, Twitter was seeing 340 million tweets per day published to the platform, and that number has since grown to 400 million tweets per day (in the latest figures shared by CEO Dick Costolo in June).
Still, as we all know, Twitter has a problem with fake and malicious accounts. Twopcharts in May conducted a study of the last 100 million Twitter accounts – 100 million accounts that signed up leading up to May 2012 – and discovered that 20.2 percent of registered accounts were duds. These accounts neither sent out a single tweet, nor followed a single user. 18.5 percent of the accounts went inactive (meaning were suspended or deleted) in just three months. And while Twitter announced its 200 million active user milestone, Twopcharts estimates that there are approximately 637 million registered accounts so far.
With so many bot accounts using third party platforms to auto tweet, you have to wonder what percentage of the 200 million monthly active users are actual people behind the accounts.
Twitter has a long way to go before reaching the 1.1 billion monthly active users that Facebook says it has, and Google+ is not far off; it announced early this month that it had 135 million active users. That's 35 million more active users since September 2012, only three months ago.
Google+ is flourishing with approximately 11.7 million more active users per month (during those three months) compared to Twitter adding 6.7 million active users per month (in the last nine months). If the rate of monthly active users remains steady, by our rough estimation Google+ and Twitter will both have approximately 286.7 million active users in 13 months, with Google+ surpassing Twitter by approximately five million users come mid month. Of course Google+ numbers are to be taken with a grain of salt, since there are a number of ways the network is capable of roping in new users.

Business Association of Multicultural Students Wins Tony Diggs Excellence Award
Wins Outstanding Undergraduate Registered Student Organization of the Year category.
The Business Association of Multicultural Students (BAM), a Carlson School student-run organization that serves multicultural students from across the University's Twin Cities campus, was recently awarded a Tony Diggs Excellence Award in the category of Outstanding Undergraduate Registered Student Organization of the Year.
The annual award recognizes student group achievements during the previous calendar year and is open to all Campus Life Programs and Registered Student Organizations, which include registered student groups who serve undergraduate, graduate, and professional students.
"It's incredible to realize we've finally been recognized for all of the hard work we've put in," says junior Vallari Ajgaonkar, president of BAM. "We're the only organization that caters to multicultural students and business students in all disciplines of business. The fact that we are being recognized as a unique organization, but one that is exceedingly exceptional through its uniqueness is incredible."
Some of the accomplishments for which BAM is being recognized in the 2011 calendar year are its expansion of its campus outreach, the development of an intricate financial management system to maximize its funds, and its marketing efforts that helped the organization achieve record attendance to most of its events.
BAM is one of the first clubs to be established at the Carlson School and provides students of different races, backgrounds, colleges, and majors the opportunity to build relationships in the community and in their career interests. The organization serves more than 100 members and is supported by 19 corporate sponsors - the most of any Carlson School-affiliated organization.
In addition to the Tony Diggs award, BAM has recently received other awards and notable accomplishments. The organization was awarded the Outstanding Innovative Marketing Award by Carlson Business Board in April. Some of its members were nominees for Carlson School student "of the year" awards, including Vallari Ajgaonkar, who won the overall Student of the Year award. Plus, Miles Swammi, BAM's previous president, was selected as the student speaker for this year's undergraduate commencement ceremony.

Serves 4 as a dessert
The sorbet contains a fair amount of vitamins, minerals, trace
elements, and enzymes because all the ingredients used are fresh. A
traditional sorbet, on the other hand, contains very little but sugar
and water. Why don't people make sorbets this way all the time? The
sorbet will keep for a week or so in the freezer.

i enjoy all the preparation and anticipation for christmas
i am always sad when its over
this year was no different
we had a quiet and relaxing christmas... just the way i like it
we've established some traditions with the kids that they look forward to each year
on christmas eve morning, we make lefse
after lefse is made and the kitchen is cleaned up, we eat a late lunch/early dinner and get ready for church
i try to get a picture of the crazies all dressed up in front of the tree {which died early this year...boo!} before we head off to church
candlelight service at church {my favorite}
then we come home and the kids open any gifts they've received that are not from us
then the kiddos put on a movie and snuggle in somewhere to camp out in the bonus room
this year after they went to sleep, i got busy creating a scavenger hunt for the next day
instead of putting names on the gifts, i numbered them
i created clues that went with each number
some numbers had significance {their age, landon's football jersey #, etc} and some were random so those clues were more like math problems
i loved doing the scavenger hunt for the gifts and the kids loved it too
christmas morning, waiting to check out stockings and see if santa arrived
they're off.....
the only thing on her list was bars and beam for her AG doll mckenna
the one thing on his wish list was skylander giants
this girl had NOTHING on her list... she was pretty excited about what santa brought
lance had to go to work early, so he missed out on stockings and santa
we had breakfast and the kids waited patiently for lance to come home to open gifts
i was thankful they had time to enjoy their gifts from santa and look through their stockings
once lance arrived home, around noon, the kiddos got busy on their scavenger hunt and opened their gifts
one of the things i loved most about the scavenger hunt was that it took time for them to find each gift under the tree and open it
i felt like it helped to prolong our christmas morning
after gifts were opened and a quick clean up around the house, everyone snuggled in for some quiet time {movies and naps}.
a little later in the afternoon, one of lance's business partners and his family came for dinner and dessert.
it was super casual and a nice way to end our christmas night.
we all went to bed with full tummies and full hearts.
