Amos and Andy Trivia
Amos and Andy was nominated for an Emmy in 1953 for "Best Situation Comedy" but it lost the award to "I Love Lucy".
It's unlikely that the Amos and Andy TV show will ever be publicly broadcast again due to controversy over racial stereotyping. The series did typically portray black people as dim witted and unscrupulous. To be fair, however, the show also was the first time that black characters were shown as businessmen, policemen, judges, lawyers and other prominent members of society. We should also be aware that other series of the day portrayed white comedic characters as dim witted (Lucille Ball as Lucy Ricardo) (Jerry Lewis) and cheap and sneaky (Jack Benny). Of course, those instances did not have the history of slavery as a background so it's understandable why the stereotyping seen on Amos and Andy might be more objectionable to black people than the stereotyping of redheads or misers. Even though the show had good ratings, CBS canceled it when the NAACP complained about how black people were portrayed. In 1966, reruns of Amos and Andy were discontinued after more such protests from the black community. Those renewed protests were fueled by the fact that CBS had sold rerun rights to Kenya but the Kenyan government banned the broadcast of the series. After that, CBS found that no TV stations would buy rerun rights and the episodes have not been broadcast since then.
The series' theme song was titled, "Angels' Serenade" and was composed by Gaetano Braga.
The Amos and Andy TV show was preceded by an Amos and Andy radio show that had aired on NBC radio. It was one of the longest-running shows ever on radio! The voice actors who played the roles of Amos and Andy on the radio were actually white men who had created the show! When the show moved to television there was a huge effort was undertaken for four years in order to find black actors to replace them! Tim Moore who played Kingfish and Spencer Williams who played Andy were actually talked into coming out of retirement to play their roles!
Amanda Randolph and Ernestine Wade were the only two actors who made the move from radio to television.
You may have noticed that the actresses who played the roles of Mama Smith and Madame Queen both have the same last name. Amanda and Lillian Randolph were sisters in real life!

It's been a ridiculous amount of time since I last blogged. Life has been very hectic with a toddler, a return to work and a number of house projects underway!
We've started putting the wheels in motion to extend our house. When we bought it this was always the plan and now feels like the right time to do it. We're in process of getting plans drawn up so it's very early days, but it's very exciting as we'll likely change the layout of the house downstairs a fair bit plus gain extra rooms upstairs. Lots of blog posts to come on that I suspect.
In the meantime we've been working on our spare bedroom. We thought this one day may become the bathroom so didn't plan to do anything as yet but after discussions with our architect we now know it will definitely be a bedroom. So we've started doing it up for little B. We had to rip out some old cupboards which used to have the hot water system in, a lot of mess but it's really opened up the room. I'm starting with a blank canvas, we've so far painted the walls and ceiling in Farrow & Ball's Wevet. But I have a plan in my head for a mural wall and lots of other little features to make it a fun space for him that will hopefully work for a few years as he grows

Only a DAY of gratitude?
Reading the columns of David Brooks, Bret "I have always thought of the United States as a country that belongs first to its newcomers" Stephens, and Roger Cohen, I now realize we should have a national holiday celebrating the immigration of their ancestors to the United States.If Steve didn't hate and envy Jews, he would have proposed at least a week of celebration, although perhaps repurposing the 40 Days of Lent would be more appropriately demonstrate the boundless debt of gratitude every American no doubt feels to these true blue Americans who are exactly like every other American except for having arrived later and being more special.
This National Day of Adulation and Gratitude for Jewish Immigration might be the only hope of keeping them from trying so hard to convert every other American national holiday into an occasion for their own ethnocentric ancestor worship.
Worse, instead of frankly admitting that they really, really like their own kind, the Brookses, Stephens, and Cohens feel compelled to concoct elaborate globalist theories about why every single American national holiday is a mandate for letting in not just their forefathers, but every scimitar-waving Muslim on earth.

Legal jobs in San Antonio overblown?Tuesday, February 19th, 2013
There are many jobs that are considered overrated, and legal jobs in San Antonio may be lumped into that group.
Jobs are considered overrated when the public has a very different perception than the reality of the job.
According to a recent poll from CareerCast, many people said that legal jobs in San Antonio and other parts of the United States were among the most overrated jobs.
Also placing on the most overrated jobs list were senior corporate executive, commercial airline pilot, stockbroker, surgeon and attorney.
Advertising execs see job turnover resulting from the pressure of high expectations and the stress of competition for accounts with lower budgets.
Computer systems analyst, civil engineer, veterinarian, biologist and market research analyst all rank among CareerCast.com's most underrated jobs.
"The most underrated jobs offer increasing opportunities and rewarding potential for job seekers new to the labor force, or those who need a change," says Lee. "Some positions, such as veterinarian and school principal, require specialized advanced degrees, but you can become a plumber, electrician or automobile mechanic with additional training after high school."
"Poor outlook for future growth, long hours, stress and a multitude of new candidates entering the industry make it especially challenging to break into many of our overrated careers," says Tony Lee , publisher, CareerCast.com. "Overrated jobs seem attractive from the outside, but often sound better than they really are."
Also placing on the most overrated jobs list were senior corporate executive, commercial airline pilot, stockbroker, surgeon and attorney.

text: There are many words you can't say on a billboard but in Martin McDonagh's darkly comic and borderline brilliant Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri calling out the local sheriff for failing to bring to justice a rapist, arsonist and murderer is fair game. At least from a legal standpoint. This is the set-up for a crime saga unlike any other, McDonagh's film a foul-mouthed mystery brimming with colorful characters, its jet-black tone and surprising emotionality capable of causing fits of laughter and bouts of urgent somberness in what is one of the best films of 2017.

Keotag: Metasearch for Social Bookmarking Sites
Every once in a while, an idea so original — so brilliant in its simplicity — breaks out of the pack of Digg and del.icio.us clones debuting daily online that you're left wondering how come nobody thought of that before? Keotag is just such a site, offering a unique but obvious twist that may become to social bookmarking sites what Technorati has been to the blogosphere.
(In case you've been living in a cave the last few years, social bookmarking is a Web 2.0 phenomenon. Sites like Digg, del.icio.us, Furl, Raw Sugar, Shadows, Ma.gnolia, and too many more to name here, allow people to create "social networks," whereby they can save, share, tag, rate, and comment on each other's web favourites.)
So, how do you extract value from these sites? I, for one, have no time to spend searching, browsing, or monitoring them all. Enter Keotag. Essentially a social bookmarking metasearcher, this nifty little tool allows you to simultaneously query over a dozen of the top social bookmarking sites on any tag or keyword, finding sites recommended by people rather than produced by search engine algorithms or seo manipulations.
Keotag also offers links and tag generators for several of the more popular social bookmarking sites.
Want more of these sites? These two lists will keep you going for a while:

Contributors Wanted: OtC Wants You!
Do you like this story?
Many of you may already know, but I am leaving at the end of the month for a two month artist residency in Berlin. While I will have my laptop with me in which to continue to post some of the weekend previews and press releases I receive while abroad, it is my inclination that being over seas will cut me off from the local grape vine and certainly from the exhibitions and events that take place in my absence. I am reaching out to you our readers to see if anyone is interested and willing to volunteer your time and efforts to begin posting for OnTheCusp while I am away. I would love it if someone would be willing to write the occassional review of shows, news items, thoughts and observations, studio visits, interviews, or whatever visual arts related writings you feel are relevant to our readership. You are welcome to write what you want. If you prefer to work with video rather than write, that option is open to you as well. I hope to find some willing participants amongst you our readers. There must be a closet arts writer or critic among you. Here is your opportunity. Your efforts will be very welcome indeed. I will consider posting about my trip to Berlin on a weekly or every other week basis while gone, if you all would be interested in that. But even with those posts, I would love to have a couple new contributors lined up. If you decide you like doing it, and our audience wants to read more of your posts, you are welcome to post as long as you desire.

Stop meat-eating & be a human-being
Why do people like slaughtering of innocent animals? Why do they subject themselves to an unintentional suicide by consuming meat?
Vegetarians are like Martians for a hard core meat-eaters and for a hard core vegetarians, meat eaters are that bunch of people who lack morals. Even if the religious point of view is set aside eating meat is harmful according to the principles of physiology and health. Anthropologists say that the structures of the bodies of carnivorous and Herbivorous animals differ greatly from each other. Man's body is that of a herbivorous animal. Hence, eating meat causes such reasons like:

This is in the mid-range of the Brad DeLong Shrill-O-Meter, but I think it's safe to conclude that he's not happy with the president's remarks in yesterday's press conference:
This Is Very Bad: Barack Obama Fail Department, by Brad DeLong: Can't anybody in the White House play this game?
Barack Obama:
Transcripts: There are a lot of folks out there who are still struggling with the effects of the recession. Many people are still looking for work or looking for a job that pays more. …
But there are … steps that we can take right now that would help…
Of course, one of the most important and urgent things we can do for the economy is something that both parties are working on right now, and that's reducing our nation's deficit…
No. No. No. No. No. No. NO. NO!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely the last thing, the last thing, the country needs is to cut federal spending or raise taxes in fiscal 2011, 2012, and it is now looking like fiscal 2013 as well.
Absolutely the last thing the country needs.
It gets worse. Obama:
[B]ecause of the work that's been done, I think we can actually bridge our differences. … Nobody wants to put the creditworthiness of the United States in jeopardy. Nobody wants to see the United States default. …
Does Obama read? There are some people who are looking forward to a default. And some of them are in the Republican legislative caucus–or so John Bresnehan and Jake Sherman claim:
"Who has egg on their face if there is a sovereign debt crisis, House Republicans or the president?" said another senior GOP lawmaker.
We have Republicans threatening to default on the debt and blow up the economy if they aren't allowed to put the economy at risk in another way — through immediate deficit reduction — and a president selling the demands from the other side as a jobs package. To make it worse, some Republicans seem eager for default to happen based upon the false belief that they'll somehow gain political advantage for wrecking the economy. No wonder the economic outlook is so grim.
With the economy struggling to get back on its feet, "Absolutely the last thing, the last thing" we should be doing right now is making threats or enacting policies that increase the risks of an economic setback. I think it's important to realize that the threat to default on the debt puts the economy at risk even if it is never acted upon, especially as the critical date to lift the debt ceiling draws closer. Republicans aren't just threatening to put the economy at risk in the future if they don't get their way, they are already doing so. If this continues there will likely come a point when markets get the jitters, and if that happens, watch out.

Super model stuff
Bravo!! Very well done! I enjoyed this immensely. Welcome, Tanya! (and Alejandro, since this is a name I'm not familiar with).
Lovely girl and a lovely first set! Fantastic butt and legs, pretty face and eyes, nice smile and though she seemed a bit shy at first she opened up nicely. Very nice pussy also. I think this one could earn quite a fan club if she sticks around for awhile.
Supermodel face in #8.
Another gorgeous newcomer, a big welcome to Tayna, her name is Tayna people, not Tanya :-D
A really beautiful girl with a gorgeous body and at times some rather intense eyes in this her very first set, great work by Alejandro on shooting this, the setting is a little darker than what I normally prefer, but it works great nonetheless ;-)
Very pretty. If she isn't related to Nika O, I'd be shocked. Welcome, Miss Tanya.
Great personality and very sexy. And she really knows how to show off her fabulous body.
Well WELL! What an enchanting debut we have here. Tanya has a lovely combination of gorgeous big brown eyes, tousled hair (love the way she plays with it), and an intriguing coy teasing smile. Combine that with a fit physique that she seems to enjoy showing off, and there's a lot of star potential here. Not to mention all those lovely bottomless shots (hooray!). Only complaint is that we didn't get more standing rear views. The few we got to see made me hungry for more.
Looking forward to more of this beauty. Welcome to MET!
Really nice shots of Tayna - seems confident in what she's doing. Like the set and lighting.
But, as my cohort-in-grime says, a dearth of derriere shots in those nice red and black panties is disappointing. Perhaps not Alejandro's fault... perhaps Tayna feels that her backside is just a wee bit too big or not her best asset (pardon the pun) - but IMHO she'd be wrong about that.
What I also miss is, in the #19-22 series, a shot of those nice panties just dangling from Tayna's ankle - an opportunity missed in my opinion.
Lastly, taken as a whole, while I like the set overall, the images kind of strike me as a series of photos taken for an early zoetrope.
That aside though, I'd definitely love to see Tayna in future sets.
What a debut! Those dimples and that ass and legs rock my world. Come back soon (tomorrow??).
She has the larger feet i ever seen in a girls ....OMG
And a second debutant this day. Hello and welcome Tanya.
I must say, that you are a absolutly hot, sexy and seductive girl. Slim with perfect curves at the right places. A erotic butt, I never seen such a round fullmoon the last weeks. Absolutely horny. Hope to see you soon again, naked and pure as God has created you. Yummy.
Unexceptional set.
Wow, she makes me very hard...pretty face, nice smile... I am dreaming of her beautiful lips..
Some debut ,wow .

Many moons ago, president of Hurricane Electric Mike Leber had the idea that YouTube webcasts could be another way that customers would like to connect with HE. That idea came to fruition in August of 2010.
We've been an early leader in the world of IPv6 and it followed easily that updates on v6 news, strategy, and planning would be an asset to our customer base.
If you take a look at the older webcasts, you might chuckle. Actually, you'll probably point your finger at the computer screen and laugh wildly at the quality, or lack thereof, in the earliest webcasts. But as with many YouTube channels that eventually find their niche, the Hurricane Electric YouTube channel has improved over the months in video and broadcast quality.
From the IANA IPv4 global pool depletion to setting up v6 in the home to true dual stack compatibility, Hurricane Electric webcasts have offered the very latest in IPv6 developments.
We're always looking to share the success stories that our customers have enjoyed. If your organization has used Hurricane Electric services to transition to IP Next Generation (IPng) a.k.a. IPv6, we'd be interested in hearing about it. Send a message to the YouTube channel and we can set up an interview or meeting.

Webb, Buttry win USA Cross Country titles
GREENBORO, N.C.- High school mile legend Alan Webb and two-time NCAA Division III cross country champion Missy Buttry won their first career U.S. open titles Sunday at the 2003 USATF National Club Cross Country Championships at Bryan Park Golf Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.
More than 500 competitors were on hand for the event that serves as the USA Open Men's 10 km, Open Women's 6 km and Masters 10 km Championships. The National Club Championships feature the top clubs from across the United States as they vie for top honors and bragging rights as the nation's top cross country team.
The senior men's and women's races featured dramatic down-to-the wire battles, where Webb (30:13.1) edged the University of Arkansas' three-time NCAA steeplechase champion Daniel Lincoln by three-hundredths of a second (30:13.4) in winning the men's race, and Buttry (19:59.9) used a final burst at the end to win the women's title by just a couple strides over 2002 NCAA Division I cross country runner-up Kate O'Neill (20.01.4).
The U.S. boys high school mile record holder and the 2001 Big Ten Conference cross country champion, Webb's 2003 track season ended when he had his appendix removed in late June. In Sunday's race, Webb (Fairfax, Va.) and Lincoln (Fayetteville, Ark.) ran away from the field at the three-mile mark, with Webb staying on Lincoln's heels until the final few meters when he sprinted ahead of his rival for the victory.
"I was just trying to hang on at the end," said Webb. "I knew that if I could be there with him in the stretch, I knew I could get him. He ran a hard fourth mile that shook my legs a little bit. Over the last two miles I was just hanging on for dear life and it worked out. I wanted him to be in the lead so he would do the work. This is a good day. It's my last race of the 2003 calendar year, and it's nice to end it on a good note. I'm happy."
David Cullum (Cupertino, Calif.) was third in the men's race in 30:34.4, with Peter Julian (Boulder, Colo.) fourth in 30:35.7 and Matt Thull (Wauwatosa, Wisc.) fifth in 30:41.0.
In the women's race, Buttry and O'Neill ran side-by-side at the halfway point, leaving the remainder of the field behind. They continued their battle until the final 100 meters when Buttry, a junior at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, broke away at the end.
"I usually run better when I go out with the leaders instead of trying to think too much, and that's what I did today," said Buttry. "I decided to make my move when we got on the final straightaway. It was an awesome race and Katie is an awesome runner."
Katherine Newberry (Williamsburg, Va.) was third in the women's race in 20:20.1, with Ann McGranahan (Lenoir, N.C.) fourth in 20:33.0 and Laura O'Neill (New Haven, Conn.) fifth in 20:51.0. Hansons-Brooks Racing Team won the men's competition for the third consecutive year, placing all five scoring runners among the first twelve finishers overall and totaling 30 points in the team scoring. Wisconsin Running Team (49 points) followed in second place, while The Farm Team claimed third with 74 points.
The women's team competition was won by The Farm Team with 40 points, while the Boston Athletic Association finished second with 84 points and adidas Raleigh TC placed third with 84 points. (Under USATF rules, a tie is broken by the fastest final scoring runner, i.e. the fifth runner, between the tying teams).

Take that, Uber.
In an announcement on Monday, Lyft will finally be implementing their new feature for carpoolers–ability to make multiple stops at the start or in the middle of your trip.
There have obviously been times in the past when we wish we could make multiple stops, instead of rebooking for every trip or convincing the driver to stop at more destinations. Not only does it waste precious time, especially when attempting to run errands, but it also costs a lot more money.
It's pretty easy to do. Simply book your trip like usual, and then click "Add destination" (see photo below). Adding more stops won't cost you anything, but the cost does get higher the longer your entire trip is.
While Uber, Lyft's main competitor, has the option to split fares with random carpoolers, it's doesn't guarantee that you'll get people you know in the same car even if you use different phones to book carpool trips.
We hope to hear when they'll be adding the feature soon!

Happy Easter!
Choose to be your greatest supporter, your own best friend. Treat yourself with the same kindness, care and love that you would any of the dearest people in your life. No guilt, no beating yourself up, one poor choice does not have to become a bad day, month, year, years. Work on the issues that lead you to hide in food. I look at "my crap" as a mountain. Everyday I chip away at it, I may never move the whole mountain but I'm heading in the right direction.
Be conscious of everything you do to your body (including your thoughts.) It is the only one you have and it is only on loan ♥
I made a batch of my Coconut Nests (an Eggface household tradition) with Sugar Free Peep Chicks watching over their nests.
Hope all my peeps have a beautiful day. Happy Easter!

This was PlanesTV's second visit the Scottish International Airshow and we're proud to present the highlights in this official programme. In 2016 the event included the new innovation of a Friday evening flying display. Wingtip pyrotechnics made twilight displays by O'Brien's Flying Circus, Mark Jefferies' Extra 330SC and Aerosparx very special indeed. The RAF also joined in the fun with the Typhoon, complete with reheat lighting up the night's sky.
After performing in his Piper Cub on Friday Brendan O'Brien guides us through the Saturday performances with his entertaining commentary style. A unique formation of B-25 Mitchell, OV-10 Bronco and P-51 Mustang stood out as a highlight for warbird fans. Classic jet action came in the form of the Vampires of the Norwegian Air Force Historical Squadron, who performed both solo and two-ship displays. We'll get a helmet camera view from the RAF Falcons jumping on to the beach from a Skyvan. An in-cockpit view on board with Lawrence Hawthorn in his Nanchang also gives a fabulous sense of what it's like to perform in the sky over Ayr.
There was aerobatics from Lauren Richardson in the Pitts Special, and Cessna 172 float plane 'Wee Dram' gave an entertaining performance including a touch and go on the sea. The day came to a close with a dark and moody sky as backdrop for a fabulous Red Arrows display.
Full contents
The Blades, Pitts S1-S, Nanchang CJ6, OV-10B Bronco, B-25 Mitchell, P-51D Mustang, Typhoon FGR4, O'Brien's Flying Circus, Extra 330, Aerosparx, Coastguard SAR Role Demo, RAF Falcons, Vampire, Blades, BBMF Spitfire & Hurricane, Catalina, Wee Dram Floatplane and Red Arrows

Peter Robinson gives Government an ultimatum over secret letters to IRA on-the-runs
Peter Robinson has issued an ultimatum to the British Government over the issuing of letters to on-the-run paramilitary suspects.
The First Minister has also asked the Speaker to recall the Northern Ireland Assembly on Friday, after claiming the Government deal that saw IRA terror suspects assured they would not be prosecuted also involved the granting of royal pardons.
Mr Robinson had already threatened to resign unless a public inquiry is ordered into the controversy that has been triggered by the collapse of the Hyde Park bomb case.
Following a meeting with Secretary of State Theresa Villiers at Hillsborough Castle on Wednesday night, the DUP leader said the contents of a motion he would put before the Stormont Assembly during a specially convened session on Friday would depend on how the Government responded to his demand.
He has effectively given the Government a 24 hour deadline.
Robinson sparked a potential constitutional crisis when he threatened to quit unless there is a judicial inquiry into the secret letters sent to IRA men who were on-the-run.
He claimed he had no knowledge such letters were ever written and said he wasn't prepared to remain in his role after being "kept in the dark by Her Majesty's government about matters relevant to Northern Ireland".
Royal pardons
Mr Robinson said he now understood pardons had also been granted.
"It appears that we are not just dealing with on-the-runs who received letters but we are also dealing with people who received the Royal Prerogative of Mercy, that indicates there were offences involved," he said.
"So we are not talking just about people who it is believed that the police did not have sufficient evidence to make a prosecution stick - that makes it a very serious matter."
Mr Robinson is consulting other parties on the wording of a motion to put before the Assembly.
His anger followed the collapse of the trial of suspected Hyde Park bomber John Downey.
The former IRA man from Donegal walked free from court on Tuesday after it emerged he was mistakenly told in a letter in 2007 that he was no longer a wanted man.
Earlier on Wednesday evening, Sinn Fein's Gerry Kelly blasted Mr Robinson as "foolish" for saying he was kept in the dark about the on-the-run deal.
He told Channel 4 News that Unionists must have known about the deal.
"It was very public and for the Unionists to claim they knew nothing about it is false. (Robinson) knew about the OTR situation, he knew they were crucial to the peace process and the political process," he said.
"He is foolish and needs to be careful as a political leader painting himself into a corner on the issue."
'Necessary' deal
Meanwhile Peter Hain, who was Northern Ireland secretary when the letters were sent, has said he makes no apology for the letters assuring 187 people they would not be pursued for prosecution.
Writing in the Guardian on Wednesday, he criticised what he called "loose talk of 'deceitful deals' by Tony Blair's government" and said the OTRs deal was necessary for peace, "just as it was necessary to do 'side deals' with Ian Paisley's DUP, which I also did."
"The 1998 prisoner releases left an anomaly of more than 200 terrorist suspects "on the run", completely outside the reach of our justice system, concerning terrorist offences before 10 April 1998, who could face jail – yet who, had they been in prison at the material time, would have been part of that early-release scheme," he wrote.
"This was important to Sinn Féin because it needed to get all active republicans along with them behind the peace process. With some freed after Good Friday, but others potentially facing arrest and prosecution, the whole process could have been badly disrupted."
Mr Hain slammed Conservative politicians for "opportunistically rewriting history" and said at the time, names submitted were "painstakingly assessed" by the PSNI.
Attorney General Dominic Grieve stood by his decision to charge Downey despite the collapse of his case yesterday due to what victims said was a "monumental" police error.
But Defence Minister Anna Soubry, a former barrister, said there was no chance of a judicial review.
"You can't judicially review the decision," she told BBC Radio 4. "You can appeal it, the prosecution can appeal it. Dominic Grieve has made it clear the CPS has taken the view that these are not the right circumstances to appeal it.
"So, with great respect to Peter Robinson, who is quite right to be very angry, absolutely right to be angry, but we are in a very, very unpleasant, bad situation and, unfortunately, I cannot see any way back from where we are now."
Letters continue
Of the 187 letters, Ms Villiers has said 38 were issued since the coalition Government came to power in 2010 - a period after justice powers had been devolved back to Stormont.
Northern Ireland's Justice Minister David Ford tonight said it was "deeply disturbing" that letters continued to be issued by the NIO when responsibility for justice had been transferred to the power-sharing executive in Belfast.
"The first I became aware of this scheme and the associated letters issued was after the Downey court decision and shortly before it became public," he said.
"It was never introduced to me either before, at the point of devolution or since devolution in April 2010.
"Comments made by the Secretary of State in the House of Commons that letters have been issued since the devolution of justice are deeply disturbing. I have demanded a meeting with the Secretary of State and will be meeting her later this evening to clarify who has signed these letters.
"What I do know is that none of these letters have issued from the Department of Justice. What we don't know is what the implications may be for prosecutions and for our crucial efforts to find political consensus on how to deal with the past.
"It is important that the victims of this, and all the other atrocities, are remembered and sensitivity observed."

Violence Treated as a Disease by Loyola Trauma Experts
21-Jun-2012 10:00 AM EDT
Loyola University Health System
Available for logged-in reporters only
Newswise — The Windy City is now The Wounded City, thanks to a spate of carnage that has Chicago ranked tops nationally in violence for several weeks in a row. Violent crime costs Chicago about $5.3 billion a year, according to a new report from the Center for American Progress. Homicides have risen about 35 percent compared to the same period in 2011. "As a level 1 trauma center, Loyola is used to caring for the worst of the worst, but things have escalated to the point where the worst now is often lying dead in the streets," said Thomas Esposito, MD, MPH, Chief of the Division of Trauma, Surgical Critical Care and Burns in the Department of Surgery at Loyola University Medical Center. "It's not just the weather that is heating up this public health problem; the reasons are multifactorial."
Ninety-two people were shot, 14 fatally, during the consecutive weekends of June 9 and 10 and June 16 and 17 in the third largest city in the United States. At least 240 people have been shot dead in Chicago since January compared to the 144 U.S. troops killed while on duty in Afghanistan in the same time period. Violence in New York and Los Angeles, however, is reportedly down.
"It's drugs, it's gangs and it's guns all in a close, urban environment," said Mark Cichon, DO, FACEP, FACOEP, Division Director, Emergency Medical Services and Professor of Surgery and Emergency Medicine at Loyola. "But trauma and burn patients from downstate Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana are regularly flown in to Loyola for care and I can tell you a rise in violence is everywhere." In 2011, the Loyola Level 1 trauma center received 123 gun-related cases; 21 were mortal.
Violence Is A Disease"Just like cancer, violence is a disease and it has to be treated through constant education, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation," says Hieu Ton-That, MD, Assistant Professor of Surgery and a trauma surgeon at Loyola. Since 2008, Loyola has partnered with CeaseFire, a national, non-government program dedicated to violence prevention. "CeaseFire works! Their people are incredibly connected to the community we serve and communicate effectively to help end violence," says Ton-That. "In cases of violence, Loyola chaplains connect with CeaseFire and they put the right members in contact with everyone involved to try to interrupt the cycle of violence."
Voted one of the top 100 Non-Government Organizations, CeaseFire uses proven public health techniques through a three-prong approach:• identification & detection• interruption, intervention, & risk reduction• changing behavior and norms.
A popular slogan for gun proponents is "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." Esposito adds the qualifier"but it's much more effective if you use a gun!"
He explains "There are all kinds of dangerous weapons including knives and even bottles, but guns are the most lethal." In fact, gun-related injuries are fifteen times more likely to be fatal than those incurred by knives. Recent national data reveal that 70 percent of murders involve a firearm.
"Every day in America, 65 people are killed by handguns; one child is killed each day by a handgun," he says. Esposito also notes that there are now more wounds per body, more tissue destruction, more deaths and death at the scene of the incident are up threefold. Even the engineering and technology of guns, right down to the bullets, contributes to the rise in fatalities, according to Esposito.
"The controversy in the United States focuses on the gun itself being a bad thing, and a ban on guns being the only solution," said Esposito. He concedes this is a narrow view of the problem and the solution. For example, despite disagreeing on many issues with the National Rifle Association (NRA), he cites, "The NRA actually has one of the best education programs I have seen that focuses on respecting guns, using them safely and responsibly."
"Gun violence and firearm injuries must be approached as a disease which is preventable, diagnosable, treatable and survivable," said Esposito. He points out that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sees this in the same light and is concerned with this as a public health issue that is epidemic, much the same as Polio or West Nile Virus. He also explains that is why the CDC offers numerous potential countermeasures for the control of gun violence besides just gun control laws. Generally, these involve strategies related to technology, enactment and enforcement of laws, economic incentives and disincentives, and finally, education. Esposito mentions some of these which include:Taxes on the purchase of guns/ammunitionPromoting use of trigger locks and safe storageBullet-proof vests and glassGun buy-back programsProviding alternative conflict resolution education in schoolsSetting and enforcing curfewsCreating safe-havens where no gang activity is allowed by mutual agreementSupport of trauma centers and trauma systems
Esposito, who has a masters degree in public health, concludes,"The more, and varied, countermeasures that are implemented, the better the chances of successfully reducing and controlling the problem."
The Center for American Progress also reported $4.2 billion for pain and suffering for violence in Chicago with $1.1 billion attributed to direct costs ranging from medical expenses to lost income of victims and incarcerating criminal perpetrators. Esposito agrees that the negative effect of violence is widespread. "Violence drives up the cost of medical care, police protection, the judicial system, to name just a few. The costs are simply astronomical," he said. From the standpoint of health system resource consumption, for each death, 19 persons are hospitalized and 370 are medically attended injuries.
"Each of us is a respected and powerful force in our communities and each of us can make a difference in violence prevention and control," he said. "Do we want to continue to spend our money on violence? I don't." As a Level 1 trauma center, Loyola is equipped to provide comprehensive emergency medical services using multidisciplinary treatment and specialized resources to patients suffering traumatic injuries -- car and motorcycle crashes, stabbings, athletic injuries and falls.

Argentinean footballing legend Diego Maradona has vowed to fight his personal demons, following his latest health scare last month.
The 46-year-old was admitted to hospital with hepatitis symptoms in late March and suffered a relapse last month after initially discharging himself.
And in an interview screened on Argentina's Channel 13, Maradona admitted that his drinking was becoming problematic and he would endeavour to stop 'punishing' his body.
"I want to rest. I want to get in good physical shape," the 1986 World Cup winner said.
"I was ill, I recognise that. There were some very hard days, I do not recommend it to anybody. I made a mistake and paid a very high price.
"Today I am calm, doing the diet and taking care of myself. Now I want to rest in order to be better physically. I am not a drunk."
Maradona also vowed to find out the source of the rumours that he had died while in hospital, saying that he was "hurt" that people could suggest such things around his family.
"I'm sad because they didn't show any respect for my parents or my daughters. I don't know why they want to see me dead," he added.
"I'm alive and I want to keep living."
Maradona is treated as something approaching royalty in his native Argentina. He is regarded as the nation's finest-ever footballer and led his country to two consecutive World Cup finals – winning the 1986 tournament and finishing runners up to Germany in 1990.

Comic-Con 2013 to Premiere Superhero Short Film Starring Lizzy Caplan and Ron Livingston
Although San Diego Comic-Con is traditionally known for its massive panels celebrating the most-anticipated films and most-popular TV shows in the geek world, it also plays host to countless other projects, many of which often seem to get lost. Hopefully, that won't happen to 'The Sidekick,' a new superhero-themed short film that will premiere at Comic-Con 2013 and has some pretty big ambitions.
Although the short isn't headlined by any household names, it features plenty of likable comics and actors, including Ron Livingston, Lizzy Caplan and Martin Starr. The lead role belongs to Rob Benedict, who plays a past-his-prime sidekick to a famous superhero. Here's how the Hollywood Reporter describes the film:
'The Sidekick' centers on a 40-year-old career sidekick, Max McCabe (Benedict), now past his prime in the fast-paced world of superhero-dom. When he is unceremoniously fired by his boss, Captain Wonder (Livingston), Max has no choice but to somehow find a place for himself in the regular world.
Between the synopsis and the trailer, 'The Sidekick' looks like it could be a promising piece of entertainment and a fun parody of superhero stories in general. The fact that it was obviously made for a reasonable (i.e. low) budget suggests that the plan to turn it into a series (either online or on cable) is completely and totally doable. The important thing is that it's, you know, funny. If people like it at Comic-Con, there's a strong chance we'll get to see more of this in the near future.
The panel and premiere will, naturally, feature members of the cast and crew. If you're attending Comic-Con and this sounds like something up your alley, be at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront's Indigo Ballroom on Thursday, Jul. 18 at 3:00 p.m.

Management works within your ongoing framing of hint and inflexion. Managing is externally involuntary. It technique handling in an influential way next to what is "thrown at you" by the state of affairs you are in. When you do paperwork you are of necessity managing things, and sometimes report to the folks about you as things.
Leadership is internally involuntary. When you rivet your of my own or business concern leadership qualities, you are normally clay sculpture and stellar population. As an internally goaded person in command you should original be asking yourself the inquiring "am I doing the suitable things" formerly you ask "am I doing holding right?"
Steven Covey in his pamphlet "First Things First" makes burning distinctions in the hue of toil we do and how we devote out event. He identifies areas that are combinations of burning and important, or not critical and not eminent.
While most case government listing prioritizing helps populace do business next to the urgent, it too normally neglects the serious. And time burning issues can sometimes be significant as well, they oft get taken thinking of because they are pressing even if they are not primal. In specified a case, your schedule are comme il faut goaded more by noticeable factors, which are not main to you, a bit than interior significant resolute ones.
Covey uses an absorbing language unit he calls the "urgency addiction". This is the gross sales representative who satisfies an irate customer, the shipping executive who essential get out an overwhelmingly brobdingnagian numeral of information in instance for Christmas, or the IT organizer who gets the machine grouping up and moving after it poor descending. You may remember, inkling the "rush" of finding the urgent reservation. While that is necessary, it should not payoff the establish of behind through on you pre-determined index of important goals.
The initial tactical manoeuvre to functional on historic issues is to place what is historic to you. For numerous group that can be growing a pursuit statement, while for others it can be identifying a clear, tangible daydream of where on earth you are headed. It finances interrogative yourself, "what is most important?", "what do I impoverishment to be and to do with my life span and conglomerate ?"
You essential set departure from the subject instance each period of time to be interrogative yourself these questions. Take the case to reflect, and don't say you are too engaged. Without care you are on a footsteps minus itinerary. Imagine you are an hose flier. Would you transport off lacking a pre-determined flight program and path ?
After you have echolike and re-affirmed your values, you necessitate to agree on on the ladder to issue during the week that will support displace you in the route of that long permanent status dream. You essential take home firm that what you are planning is aligned with your occupation and missionary station.
Once you have identified what is key for you, it becomes very important to roll daily, weekly, and/or monthly goals that will facilitate you slowly complete that which is strategic. You have to find your own comfy way to net it happen, but do it. Remember that to execute your really meaty and celebrated goals you essential add them to your period to do record. Be unvoluntary by middle psychological feature and not single by what is urgently thrown at you.
Remember to manufacture yourself responsible to get this through. Just swing a document equally on paper, is not ample. If you can't bank on your own self discipline, afterwards it is recurrently constructive to trade beside a teacher [http://successful-small-business.com/executive_leadership_coaching.html] who will tennis shot as your spousal equivalent.
In all cases you essential variety convinced to be hard-nosed. The familiar motto that "Rome wasn't reinforced in a day", way that remarkable action takes commitment, sweat and rock-hard effort. You can't go successful itsy-bitsy business concern landowner overnight.

Parsons Students Join First Lady for White House Education Workshop
It isn't every day that you get to step foot in the White House.
It's even less often that you get to transform it into your very own classroom and art space.
But that's exactly what students from The New School's Parsons School of Design students got to do when they were invited to participate in the first ever White House Fashion Education Workshop on October 8, and to create an installation in the building's East Room over the last two weeks.
The students came at the invitation of none other than The First Lady Michelle Obama.
"I want to thank all of the students and faculty from Parsons who contributed to the installation today," said Obama, who in a speech highlighted Parsons graduates Jason Wu, Lela Rose, and Narciso Rodriguez for their contributions to fashion and design. Addressing young designers, she said, "If you can sit at these tables and sit here with all these great people, you can do anything […] We are proud of you, our president is proud of you."
A delegation of 31 students, as well as distinguished alumni, faculty and leaders from Parsons, visited the White House for the event—a chance to rub elbows with The First Lady and learn about design in the official residence of the President of the United States. Ten students from the Parsons Scholars program, which provides intensive arts and design learning to students from underserved New York City high schools, were selected to participate at the workshops.
In the weeks leading up to the event, sixteen Parsons undergraduate and graduate students secretly conceived and built a striking installation in the White House East Room. The product of a rapid two-week exploration, led by Alison Mears, Dean of the School of Design Strategies at Parsons, Jonsara Ruth, Director, MFA Interior Design at Parsons, and stylist Helen Quinn, faculty at the School of Constructed Environments, the sustainable and celebratory installation comprises 600 discarded book pages and covers, steel and local flowers and ferns.
"It was so exciting, so extraordinary, so unbelievable chic and polite and so much more," said Laura Alexandra Suppan, a student of interior design from Vienna, Austria who is currently completing her MFA at Parsons. "We worked in the East Room. We worked in the East Room. Nothing more to say – unbelievable!"


text: It feels great to be back home from my recent trip to Las Vegas! I am still in recovery from all of the shopping, but I must admit that a lot was accomplished. Nicole did a spectacular job of representing Michigan, as well as taking home the preliminary talent and non-finalist talent awards! I also had the pleasure of meeting our new Miss America, Caressa Cameron, the night before she was crowned. She is even more beautiful in person, and she even shared a few hair styling tips with me. If there is anything that can make a young woman feel like she is ready to compete, it's attending Miss America! Being among the contestants and so many former Miss Americas was inspiring and also a reminder of how special the Miss America Organization truly is.

Prescott Painting Company
Covered by Grace Painting may be a new Prescott Painting Company but we are by no means new to the residential and commercial painting industry. After nearly 17 years of running a successful painting company in Phoenix, Owner Joseph Brown decided to take a step back and leave his family owned & operated company to his son, Brian. The motivation to open CBG Painting in Prescott wasn't only driven by the hope of cooler weather, greener scenery and slower living. The biggest driving factor for our work in Prescott Arizona, was that the area and surrounding towns of Prescott needed another painting contractor that they could trust and rely on to provide professional high quality painting services. Our commitment to our customers and the trade of painting leave no room for error and allow for nothing short of the very best in service, products, and workmanship.
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to serve residents and business in Prescott and surrounding areas. We look forward to working with you soon. Please contact us today with any questions or to request a free painting estimate.

Elizabeth brought home her 7th grade work and I thought I'd share some of it.
This is the cover to her main lesson book. The instructions were to create a cover that represented an aspect of their 7th grade curriculum. Liz focused on perspective drawing and geometry--two of her favorite subjects.

"Our retail sales are killing it! We sold out of rakes, sledgehammers, trowels etc. Gloves are flying off the shelf. We just placed a huge order to back-fill retail. We are really excited and happy with the outcome. It's going to help us sell a lot more product and it looks so much more professional. As of now, we have all our retail items on floor one. And we plan to bring in an additional tie-in item such as hoses, spray bottles, hose nozzles, extension cords and 2 cycle oil."
Todd Goldberg | Morristown, NJ
"We are open and it is going well. The store turned out awesome. The shelving is a big success. It was a helluva lot of work but worth it. Thanks for all you did for us!"
Rod Heltzel | Jacksboro, TX
"Jim is the best. Very personable and helpful with the order/decision aspects. He knows the product very well. Pet Mania has four stores with only Handy fixtures and every order has been 100% accurate. Quality and ease of installation are the most important to us."
Kevin Myers | Raleigh, NC
"Jim did a great job handling my store set up; he was very patient and helpful, I am very satisfied with the Handy product. I would definitely recommend the handy company to anyone looking to outfit a new store."
Thank you.Dominick | Clementon, NJ
"I'm very satisfied with these fixtures. They fit and look great! I always have the best experience with Handy fixtures. That's why I always call Handy first for our needs."
Art Laurenti | Lawrenceville, NJ
"Guillermo Perez was outstanding.! Treated me as if I was family. I guess a higher compliment cannot be given. I have always bought all my gondolas from Handy Store Fixtures. I bought my first shelves for a supermarket in the Bronx in 1985. All my subsequent renovations have also come from your company. I will continue to renovate the present store, little by little, with the help of Guillermo very soon. My experience has always been very positive."
Regards.Juan Carlos Reyes | Bronx, NY
"Want to say that dealing with Ron Mehr was a great experience. I've been a contractor for over 50 years. I'm now putting together a convenience store for my elder years and for my family."
"I didn't have a clue about ordering store fixtures. Ron was very patient, explained and described what I needed to do. Between the two of us we put together a store plan and order. Received the order by common carrier, and it was well wrapped and protected. The product was very good quality, better than I expected. I was able to set it up myself with a level and a few hand tools. Store is looking great, got lots of compliments. We hope to be open in a few weeks. This was a lot more work than I realized. Again I repeat, Ron made purchasing the store fixtures a lot less stressful."
Rick Fiore | Pawcatuck, CT
"Everything came out great! We love the look of our store. We are constantly getting customers and distributors telling us this is the nicest store they have been to."

"Spanning three generations, the owners and staff of BDA have successfully designed and provided oversight for construction of a broad variety of building types for both private and public sector clients."
BDA's work is visible in many places, but is most commonly seen in healthcare and educational facilities, which now comprise the majority of our practice. In addition to our specialty areas of healthcare and education, we also have considerable design experience in the private and public sector, with clients ranging from regional to nationally-known companies.
What BDA's clients do have in common is that they all receive the same attentive and personalized services from our staff. You can expect we will meet with you on your time table, at your location and remain in constant contact with you so you'll know the status of your project at any given moment.
To better serve our clients, BDA has offices in both CLarks Summit and Bethlehem, PA with a staff of over 30 Architects, Interior Designers and Planners, largely specializing in Healthcare Design.
There are several additional factors which help to distinguish BDA from other firms. First of all, our reputation in Northeastern PA for producing the highest quality construction documents is unrivaled. Secondly, perhaps our most revealing credential is our high number of long-term, repeat clients, some of whom we have served since 1965.
