Volunteers are keeping watch over a candlelight vigil scheduled to last all Christmas Day in the Connecticut town where 20 children and six educators were gunned down at an elementary school.
Twenty-six candles, one for each victim, were lit at midnight Monday near a huge sidewalk memorial filled with teddy bears, flowers, candles, posters and other tributes to the dead.
Volunteers are taking three-hour shifts Tuesday to ensure they remain burning.
Police officers from other communities are filling in for Newtown police so they can have the holiday off.
And well-wishers from around the country continue visiting the town to pay their respects.
At Christmas morning services, congregants were told that good always overcomes evil.

Thanks to everyone who helped us have a great time.
We bought a copy of the Sun on Monday without knowing that they had 'fan/tailgate' sections. We laughed when the main section was about some fag Raider fan in lot J. :grbac:
One can only assume that the Sun's Tailgate reporter is both blind and deaf or stupid:insane: !
(His only defence may be that we were on our tour when he came around. Still why focus on the Raider fan - they take Ravens fan tickets!)
I guess we'll have to come again and be LOUDER !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am interested in understanding how cancer cells 'switch off' the normal immune response in acute myeloid leukaemia with the aim of developing novel immunotherapeutic strategies.
I am currently developing several research projects:
I started work in the Haemato-Oncology department in the Barts Cancer Institute in October 2011 as part of John Gribben's cancer immunotherapy group. I developed my research interests as an MRC Clinical Training Fellow in the group between 2005 and 2009 when I investigated T cells in acute myeloid leukaemia. I gained experience in immunomagnetic cell separation, flow cytometry, gene expression profiling and confocal microscopy of the immune synapse.
I developed a technique for separating T cells from the peripheral blood of patients presenting with AML that was published in the Journal of Immunological Methods in 2009 and my data characterising T cell defects in AML was published in Blood in the same year. I left Barts in 2009 to complete my clinical haematology training which included a year spent at the Hammersmith Hospital as a stem cell transplant coordinator. During this time, I gained valuable experience in the organisation as well as inpatient and outpatient management of patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
I now plan to develop as an independent researcher taking forward my basic science research examining T cell function in haematologic malignancy to investigate new immunotherapeutic strategies in AML.

The Rise of Russian Crimea (VIDEO) Comments Latest What if Russiagate is the New WMDs? Democrats, certain in their accusations of guilt, sound a lot like Republicans in 2002. Published 16 hours ago on August 20, 2018 By The Duran Authored by Jack Hunter via The American Conservative: "The evidence against Trump and Russia is huge and mounting every day," declared liberal celebrity activist Rosie O'Donnell at a protest in front of the White House last week. "We see it, he can't lie about it," she added. "He is going down and so will all of his administration." "The charge is treason," O'Donnell declared. Protesters held held large letters that spelled it out: "T-R-E-A-S-O-N." O'Donnell is by no means alone in her sentiments. Trump's guilt in "Russiagate" is now assumed by much of the American left, and reaches greater levels of fervor with every passing day. This kind of partisan religiosity is not new. In the wake of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, conservative pundit Ann Coulter accused war opponents of "treason" and insisted of Saddam Hussein, "We know he had weapons of mass destruction." Coulter was confident and she wasn't alone. Virtually the entire mainstream American right—from pundits like Coulter and Sean Hannity to President George W. Bush and the Republican Congress—was deeply invested in the notion that Hussein possessed WMDs and that the Iraq war was justified based on that unshakeable premise. This belief was so ingrained for so long that many excitedly rushed to pretend that chemical weapons discovered in Iraq as reported by the New York Times in 2014 were somehow the same thing as the "mushroom cloud" the Bush administration said Saddam was capable of. Unfortunately for the right (and America, and the world), that premise turned out to be false. There were no WMDs. Today, only a minority of delusional, face-saving hawks and unreconstructed neoconservatives still parrot that lie. And far from being "traitors," Iraq war opponents today are considered to have been on the right side of history. Now, "Russian collusion" could be becoming the new WMDs. The post-2016 left's most dominant narrative is arguably their deeply held belief—with all the ferocity and piety of yesterday's pro-war conservatives—that Russia colluded with Trump's campaign to undermine the presidential election. Many believe that the president and anyone who supports his diplomatic efforts like Senator Rand Paul are in the pocket of Russian President Vladimir Putin. "I will meet not just with our friends, but with our enemies," said Barack Obama in 2008, and he did just that with Putin, as has every other president in recent times. But Trump-Russia relations have been spun into far-fetched conspiracy theories on the left. New York Magazine's Jonathan Chait recently went so far as to speculate that Trump has been a Russian agent since 1987, a cockamamie idea on par with the Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes' discredited conspiracy theory that Saddam and Osama bin Laden were in cahoots. It really was plausible that Iraq had WMDs in 2003 based on what our intelligence agencies knew, or purported to know. Today, it is feasible that American democracy really has Putin's fingerprints on it based on things revealed by U.S. intelligence. But isn't it also possible that the left is reading far too much into Russiagate? The Nation's Aaron Maté believes liberals are overreaching, and that's putting it mildly: From the outset, Russiagate proponents have exhibited a blind faith in the unverified claims of US government officials and other sources, most of them unnamed. The reaction to special counsel Robert Mueller's recent indictment of 12 Russian military-intelligence officers for hacking of Democratic party servers and voter databases is no exception. Mueller's indictment is certainly detailed. Most significantly, it marks the first time anyone has been charged for offenses related to Russiagate's underlying crime. But while it is a major step forward in the investigation, we have yet to see the basis for the allegations that Mueller has lodged. As with any criminal case, from a petty offense to a cybercrime charge against a foreign government, a verdict cannot be formed in the absence of this evidence. Then the irony kicks in. Maté continues, "The record of US intelligence, replete with lies and errors, underscores the need for caution. Mueller was a player in one of this century's most disastrous follies when, in congressional testimony, he endorsed claims about Iraqi WMDs and warned that Saddam Hussein 'may supply' chemical and biological material to 'terrorists.'" Noting Mueller's 2003 WMD testimony is not an attempt to undermine him or his investigation, something Maté also makes clear. But it does serve as an important reminder that "intelligence" can be flat-out wrong. It reminds us how these scenarios, which so much of Washington and the elite class fully endorse, can be looked back on as lapses of reason years later. Mass psychology is real. Political classes and parties are not immune. "Suppose, however, that all of the claims about Russian meddling turn out to be true," Maté asks. "Hacking e-mails and voter databases is certainly a crime, and seeking to influence another country's election can never be justified." He continues, "But the procession of elite voices falling over themselves to declare that stealing e-mails and running juvenile social-media ads amount to an 'attack,' even an 'act of war,' are escalating a panic when a sober assessment is what is most needed." The U.S. could have certainly used less hyperbole and more sobriety in 2002 and 2003. And there's good chance that when the history books are written about American politics circa 2018, much of Russiagate will be dismissed as more Red Scare than Red Dawn. With Russia, as with WMDs, left and right have elevated slivers of legitimate security concerns to the level of existential threat based mostly on their own partisanship. That kind of thinking has already proven to be dangerous. We don't know what evidence of collusion between the Trump camp and Russia might yet come forth, but it's easy to see how, even if this narrative eventually falls flat, 15 years from now some liberals will still be clinging to Russiagate not as a matter of fact, but political identity. Russia-obsessed liberals, too, could end up on the wrong side of history. No one can know the future. Republicans would be wise to prepare for new, potentially damaging information about Trump and Russia that may yet emerge. Democrats should consider that Russiagate may be just as imaginary as Republicans' Iraq fantasy.

Published 21 hours ago on August 20, 2018 By Tyler Durden Via Zerohedge… Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper threw former CIA Director John Brennan under the bus on Sunday, telling CNN's "State of the Union" that "John and his rhetoric have become an issue in and of itself," adding "John is subtle like a freight train and he's gonna say what's on his mind." Somebody wants to keep their security clearance… Brennan's latest "rhetoric," of course, is his Sunday morning threat to sue the Trump administration following the stripping of his security clearance. WATCH: Former CIA Director @JohnBrennan says, 'I have been contacted by a number of lawyers.' #MTP #IfItsSunday pic.twitter.com/BnnpG33kgU — Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) August 19, 2018 That said, Clapper empathized with Brennan over shared concerns regarding what they say is a threat to the United States from the Trump administration. "I think that the common denominator among all of us [in the intelligence community] that have been speaking up … is genuine concern about the jeopardy and threats to our institutions," said Clapper. Brennan's increasingly inflammatory commentary of late has also drawn the attention of Congressional GOP. On Thursday, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) slammed Brennan for "purport[ing] to know, as fact, that the Trump campaign colluded with a foreign power." "If his statement is based on intelligence he has seen since leaving office, it constitutes an intelligence breach. If he has some other personal knowledge of or evidence of collusion, it should be disclosed to the special counsel, not The New York Times," said Burr, who added that Trump had the "full authority" to rescind Brennan's clearance if the former CIA Director's statements were "purely politicial and based on conjecture." President Trump promptly tweeted Burr's statement: "Director Brennan's recent statements purport to know as fact that the Trump campaign colluded with a foreign power. If Director Brennan's statement is based on intelligence he received while leading the CIA, why didn't he include it in the Intelligence Community Assessment…… — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 17, 2018 …..released in 2017. If his statement is based on intelligence he has seen since leaving office, it constitutes an intelligence breach……" Richard Burr (R-NC) Senate Intel Cmte Chair @LouDobbs — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 17, 2018 On Friday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show," Brennan defiantly stood behind his statement that Trump committed treason during the Helsinki summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which he called "nothing short of treasonous," before walking it back moments later. "After Helsinki, you were stark, and even a little bit scary in your criticism of his behavior. You said it rose to treason," said Maddow. "I said it was nothing short of treasonous," replied Brennan. Maddow pushed back: "In this current controversy, that specific comment has been singled out by a number of people as a comment that maybe, by you, crossed the line, that was maybe –." "Crossed what line?" Brennan responded. Maddow said that she wasn't going to question Brennan's right to his remarks, though then asked "But do you stand by that consideration, and can you explain, can you elaborate what you mean by treasonous? It's a very serious allegation." Brennan answered: "I know what the Russians did in interfering in the election. I have 100% confidence in what they did. And for Mr. Trump to stand on that stage in Helsinki, with all the world's eyes upon him, and to basically [say] he wouldn't — he doesn't understand why would the Russians interfere in the election. He's given Mr. Putin and the Russians a pass time after time after time, and he keeps referring to this whole investigation as a witch hunt, as bogus, as — and to me, this was an attack against the foundational principle of our great republic, which is, the right of all Americans to choose their elected leaders. And for Mr. Trump to so cavalierly just dismiss that, yes, sometimes my Irish comes out, and — in my tweets, and I did say that it rises to and exceeds the level of high crimes and misdemeanors and is nothing short of treasonous. … I didn't mean that he committed treason, but it was a term that I used, nothing short of treasonous." Remember when John Brennan said Trump's behavior was "treasonous"? Turns out he didn't mean it: pic.twitter.com/PVm7mVkiJ5 — Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate) August 18, 2018 Is Brennan starting to come apart at the seams. Continue Reading Latest Afghanistan: The War That Shames America After 17 bloody years, the longest war in US history continues without relent or purpose in Afghanistan. Published 21 hours ago on August 20, 2018 By Eric Margolis Authored by Eric Margolis via EricMargolis.com: There, a valiant, fiercely-independent people, the Pashtun (Pathan) mountain tribes, have battled the full might of the US Empire to a stalemate that has so far cost American taxpayers $4 trillion, and 2,371 dead and 20,320 wounded soldiers. No one knows how many Afghans have died. The number is kept secret. Pashtun tribesmen in the Taliban alliance and their allies are fighting to oust all foreign troops from Afghanistan and evict the western-imposed and backed puppet regime in Kabul that pretends to be the nation's legitimate government. Withdraw foreign troops and the Kabul regime would last for only days. The whole thing smells of the Vietnam War. Lessons so painfully learned by America in that conflict have been completely forgotten and the same mistakes repeated. The lies and happy talk from politicians, generals and media continue apace. This week, Taliban forces occupied the important strategic city of Ghazni on the road from Peshawar to Kabul. It took three days and massive air attacks by US B-1 heavy bombers, Apache helicopter gun ships, A-10 ground attack aircraft, and massed warplanes from US bases in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Qatar and the 5th US Fleet to finally drive back the Taliban assault. Taliban also overran key military targets in Kabul and the countryside, killing hundreds of government troops in a sort of Afghan Tet offensive. Afghan regime police and army units put up feeble resistance or ran away. Parts of Ghazni were left in ruins. It was a huge embarrassment to the US imperial generals and their Afghan satraps who had claimed 'the corner in Afghanistan has finally been turned.' Efforts by the Trump administration to bomb Taliban into submission have clearly failed. US commanders fear using American ground troops in battle lest they suffer serious casualties. Meanwhile, the US is running low on bombs. Roads are now so dangerous for the occupiers that most movement must be by air. Taliban is estimated to permanently control almost 50% of Afghanistan. That number would rise to 100% were it not for omnipresent US air power. Taliban rules the night. Taliban are not and never were 'terrorists' as Washington's war propaganda falsely claimed. I was there at the creation of the movement – a group of Afghan religious students armed by Pakistan whose goal was to stop post-civil war banditry, the mass rape of women, and to fight the Afghan Communists. When Taliban gained power, it eliminated 95% of the rampant Afghanistan opium-heroin trade. After the US invaded, allied to the old Afghan Communists and northern Tajik tribes, opium-heroin production soared to record levels. Today, US-occupied Afghanistan is the world's largest producer of opium, morphine and heroin. US occupation authorities claim drug production is run by Taliban. This is another big lie. The Afghan warlords who support the regime of President Ashraf Ghani entirely control the production and export of drugs. The army and secret police get a big cut. How else would trucks packed with drugs get across the border into Pakistan and Central Asia? The United States has inadvertently become one of the world's leading drug dealers. This is one of the most shameful legacies of the Afghan War. But just one. Watching the world's greatest power bomb and ravage little Afghanistan, a nation so poor that some of its people can't afford sandals, is a huge dishonor for Americans. Even so, the Pashtun defeated the invading armies of Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, the Mogul Emperors and the mighty British Raj. The US looks to be next in the Graveyard of Empires. Nobody in Washington can enunciate a good reason for continuing the colonial war in Afghanistan. One hears talk of minerals, women's rights and democracy as a pretext for keeping US forces in Afghanistan. All nonsense. A possible real reason is to deny influence over Afghanistan, though the Chinese are too smart to grab this poisoned cup. They have more than enough with their rebellious Uighur Muslims. Interestingly, the so-called 'terrorist training camps' supposedly found in Afghanistan in 2001 were actually guerilla training camps run by Pakistani intelligence to train Kashmiri rebels and CIA-run camps for exiled Uighur fighters from China. The canard that the US had to invade Afghanistan to get at Osama bin Laden, alleged author of the 9/11 attacks, is untrue. The attacks were made by Saudis and mounted from Hamburg and Madrid, not Afghanistan. I'm not even sure bin Laden was behind the attacks. My late friend and journalist Arnaud de Borchgrave shared my doubts and insisted that the Taliban leader Mullah Omar offered to turn bin Laden over to a court in a Muslim nation to prove his guilt or innocence. President George Bush, caught sleeping on guard duty and humiliated, had to find an easy target for revenge – and that was Afghanistan. Copyright Eric S. Margolis 2018.

Awareness of self, others, and my environment. Some of the reasons why I like to photograph. When I look around, my eyes are filled with images. I see beautiful surfaces, lines, shapes and great subjects. Its a case of always being on the lookout for inspiration in everything. I like to show others what I see. The best part to me is when other people say "wow, I never would have looked at it that way." Photography....it allows me to record the passage of time, to hang on to a memory, it allows me to share what I find beautiful and the ability to see something new.

Felony Charges; Police probe BHS hazing incidents
BLACKFOOT — Four former Blackfoot High School athletes and an unidentified juvenile have been summoned to appear on charges relating to hazing incidents within the last year.
The Blackfoot Police Department, in cooperation with the administration and staff at Blackfoot High School, began an investigation in September after students came forward to report incidences of harassment, intimidation and bullying. The investigation is ongoing.
Bingham County Prosecuting Attorney Scott Andrew said the hazing incidents involve more than one men's sports team at Blackfoot High School. Those summoned to appear in Magistrate court in Bingham County later this month will face multiple felony charges of forcible sexual penetration by use of a foreign object and misdemeanor charges of false imprisonment, according to court documents. Because all individuals charged had not been served Monday evening, the Morning News have withheld their names at this time.
According to a press release from the Blackfoot School District, review and emphasis of the district's Discipline Handbook and District policies regarding hazing and bullying during the fall resulted in students coming forward to report incidences of harassment, intimidation and bullying.
According to Board Policy 575, "students and staff are prohibited from engaging in any hazing activity, on or off school premises."
The investigation into the allegations of hazing is ongoing and additional victims or suspects may be identified in the coming months.
The Blackfoot School District defines intimidation, bullying, cyberbullying and sexual harassment as major discipline offenses. According to the press release from the district, the district is taking appropriate disciplinary actions.
As the story develops today, Morning News staff will post updates on our Web site — www.am-news.com — as appropriate.

Winthrop's Blackstrap may be off the beaten path, but its slow-cooked flavor still draws crowds of locals and visitors alike. In February, The Town star Blake Lively and friends chowed down on smoked chicken, corn fritters, and collards (the actress, who has Southern roots, said the cooks "nailed it"). Opened in 2010 by a pair of alums from Cambridge's East Coast Grill, the kitschy joint was named for a molasses that's included in many specialties, like burnt ends in homemade sauce.

Maurice and Marion Hill launched M&M Ribs 32 years ago, immediately drawing 'cue aficionados from across the city to a trailer they had in Uphams Corner. These days, the family recipes have a bigger audience, thanks to a food truck parked at several locations around town by their grandson, Geovanni Lambert (he plans to open a Dorchester restaurant this fall featuring his family's original recipes). Fans love Lambert's tomato-and-vinegar "sweet heat" barbecue sauce, perfect with his grandparents' original beef brisket or pork ribs. Homemade coleslaw and mac and cheese are Lambert's favorite sides.

This #ThrowbackThursday, we're taking a spin down memory lane and revisiting the celebrity friendships of the past.
From Nicole Richie to Paulina Rubio, check out these wacky celeb besties you forgot (or never knew) existed:
1. tbt eva longoria
Eva Longoria & Sarah Michelle Gellar
Who knew that Buffy and Gabrielle Solis were friends? Sarah Michelle Gellar posted this undated throwback picture with the caption, "Were we ever that young?" It seems the former Vampire Slayer loves having Latinos in her life – she's been married to boricua Freddie Prinze Jr. for nearly 12 years!
2. tbt nicole kim
Nicole Richie & Kim Kardashian:
Yes, there was once a time when little Nicole Richie was keeping up with the Kardashians, particularly Kim. Kim Kardashian posted this adorable #ThrowbackThursday picture of the fresh faced teenagers when they were just 13-years-old!
3. tbt paulina thalia
Paulina Rubio & Thalia:
Before their infamous feud, Paulina Rubio and Thalia were just two Mexicanas who dreamed of being a star. The pop stars shared the spotlight as part of the teeny bopper band Timbriche, and were apparently good friends. Paulina Rubio even spoke of her former bestie in an interview, "...Even though people should know that we really haven't had problems in a with each other for a while. Thalia and I were always best friends from the age of 11 to 15, we were always together." Sadly, an unfortunate smackdown in the middle of a performance ended their closeness, but we still love reminiscing about the good old days when these two were pals.
4. tbt mario fergie
Mario Lopez & Fergie:
Not only were these two good pals back in childhood -- they were also each other's first romance! In fact, Fergie was Mario's first smooch. "It's a true story," he said. "I'm very proud of my first kiss. She says there was no tongue!" Although the romance (sadly) ended, the two remain good friends.
5. tbt alexa wilmer
Alexa Vega & Wilmer Valderrama:
Newlywed Alexa Vega posted this #ThrowbackThursday snapshot of her with her "fav Latino that isn't Carlos Pena." The photo is undated, but judging by Vega's locks (which haven't been brown in years) and Valderrama's sunglasses, we're guessing this photo is several years old. We love both of these stars, and we're so happy to see that they're longtime pals!
6. tbt selena jamie
Selena Gomez & Jamie Chung:
It's seems like everyone is besties with Selena Gomez, but we didn't know the Mexicana was tight with Once Upon A Time actress Jamie Chung. Chung posted this #tbt picture of her with Gomez and Sammy Droke on the set of Disney Channel flick Princess Protection Program.
7. tbt Becky G & Raq C
Becky G & Raq C:
Que preciosa! RaqC posted this adorable Throwback Thursday picture of her posing with an eleven-year-old Becky G. She wrote, "#TBT Me & my lil mamas @iambeckyg when she was just 11yrs old! 6years ago! Love u boo boo! #WeGoWayBack." Who knew our two bloggers were such good friends?

Note: This post is cross-published on my "Live…In Concert" blog on the Psychology Today website.
Music possesses the power to evoke human emotions, some extremely intense and meaningful in the contexts of our lives. For many, live performance can do this especially well. Even in the current age of omnipresent digital recordings, live music is still in great demand. For those of us who take the stage as performers, it can be difficult to think of a concert solely from the perspective of a spectator. We are used to focusing on how best to produce expression and transmit feeling through our music. We may not think as much about how audience members receive our expressive messages, and how they experience emotion during performances. But the emotional rewards felt by concertgoers can be just as powerful—if not more so—than those felt by the people on stage.
These magical moments that are so cherished by musicians and music lovers have also been the target of psychologists' study for some time. The notion of peak experiences, first advanced and by Abraham Maslow in the 60s and 70s, refers to mental states in which people have strong feelings of wonder, enthrallment, and ecstasy. The 80s and 90s saw the popularization of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's idea of flow, which describes how people can become so completely engaged in a challenging activity that time flies by and they experience the intrinsic rewards of the activity free of self-consciousness. One of the conditions of the flow state is a balance between the challenge of a task and one's skill in carrying it out. With this in mind, it's no wonder that music performance has been a frequent context for the study of flow, with Csikszentmihalyi himself often citing it.
Many musicians aspire to have peak performances in their activities. Ideally the presence of a public audience is not seen as a source of anxiety, but an opportunity to further enhance the strong emotional rewards of performance. As musicians seek these for themselves, I believe most would also like to provide peak experiences for their audiences. Although music listening and concert attendance aren't typically thought of as challenging activities or tasks, they can still engender flow experiences. They are, however, clearly different from the act of performing music. Musicians can gain much with a better appreciation for all the factors that are present during a performance, specifically from the perspective of an audience.
One of my favorite chapters in the 2011 Handbook of Music and Emotion is by music psychologist Alf Gabrielsson, who reviews the research on "Strong Experiences with Music." He tackles a few of the more fantastic examples of music-induced peak experiences, such as transcendental and religious experiences, trance states, and synesthesia (visions of colors and lights). He also identifies some of the most important contributors to peak experiences during a live music performance. These influencing factors, in the broadest terms, are the music, the person, and the situation (see also Lamont, 2011). These three things interact to create the added dimensions that make live music so unique and powerful—the thrill of real-time vocal and instrumental production, the visuals on stage and around the venue, and the social aspects involving performers and audience members.
The sound properties of the music that make it expressive include timbre, rhythm, pitch, tempo, dynamics, and articulation. You might say that the art and craft of musicianship consist of choosing the right order, combinations, and variations of these things in order to communicate to a listening audience. There has been some interesting research that has provided insight into how certain musical devices can even elicit physiological responses from listeners. For example, John Sloboda's (1991) study of classical music lovers was able to identify some pretty specific musical triggers among Westerners. Among them, tears were linked to melodic appoggiaturas, shivers occurred after sudden harmony changes, and a racing heart followed instances of rhythmic syncopation.
This would suggest that it is a worthwhile endeavor to develop mastery over one's instrument in order to allow expressive musical devices to be carried out with control and precision. But just because performers can produce expressive features in their music, doesn't mean that they always will do so. My own research has shown that even among advanced musicians, expressive intentions don't always make it into the sound properties of performance (Woody, 2002, 2003). Some musicians trust that their own emotions will naturally infuse their music and elicit the same feelings from listeners. It doesn't always work. As part of developing expressive performance skills, it can be fruitful to simply direct musicians' attention to the acoustic sound properties that they're producing—and how they're perceived by listeners—instead of dwelling only on their inner intentions to be expressive (Juslin & Laukka, 2000). Take, for instance, a pianist who wishes to communicate sadness and longing in melody. Her strategy for making the melody expressive may be to muster up feelings of sadness and longing in herself while performing. This emotional process could divert her attention from accurately hearing whether her sounded music contains features that will be perceptible to listeners. In fact, her own felt emotion could wrongfully convince her of the expressiveness of her music. As far as the music is concerned, listeners have no other way to access the heart of the pianist but by the way she presses the keys on the instrument (and the sound it produces). This is why listening to recordings of themselves can be so helpful to musicians; it can afford them more objective appraisals of their performance quality.
The other two factors of strong experiences with live music are the person and the situation. Many things can affect an audience member's disposition and extra-musical associations during a concert, some of which are clearly outside of the control of any performer. (Though this doesn't mean they should be dismissed altogether, as we'll see below.) Situational factors, however, are often chosen—or passively accepted—by performing musicians. Anything that affects how audience members receive the sounds and sights of the performance can be extremely influential. This is why much pre-concert time is spent on sound checks to ensure the best acoustics given the physical layout of a venue. But the visual aspects of a performance are also critically important. A recent NRP Music interview brought one case in point to my attention. Aside from her impressive technique, some of cellist Alisa Weilerstein's notoriety can be attributed to how physically expressive she is in performance. She points to the moving and dancing that rock musicians commonly do onstage, saying "it always struck me as sort of surprising that people would find that strange in classical music."
Concertgoers take many cues about emotionality from what they see in musicians' facial expressions, bodily movements, and other physical attributes. Quite a few research studies have confirmed that what people hear—or think they hear—can be heavily influenced by what they see (among them Behne & Wöllner, 2011). Even among musically sophisticated audience members, judgments of musical quality are often biased by things like performer attractiveness, wardrobe, and stage behavior. There is also the prestige effect, which says that listeners' perception can be skewed by whether they believe they're hearing, say, the "naïve interpretation" of a student musician, versus a "bold rendition by innovative expert." It also explains the famous (among classical music followers, anyway) Joshua Bell subway experiment, in which the world-class violinist went ignored while playing virtuosic repertoire in a busy Washington, DC Metro station.
No doubt some musicians lament that elaborate costuming, scenery, and stage "antics" may be used to compensate for poor command of one's musical instrument (i.e., technique, including sounded expressiveness). Such visual elements are often referred to as extra-musical factors. I would suggest, however, that they are more para-musical, in that they are necessarily part of live performance. No music can be perceived and understood outside of some cultural and personal context. Music performance has always been about more than the pleasantness of the sounds produced. Audio-purists should take heart, though, to know that research affirms that the music does matter. But it's also clear that performers can no more afford to ignore the para-musical factors that affect perception than they can what's accomplished through technique.
One clear message musicians can take from this research is that audiences do not parse out various aspects of live performance. Many times an intense emotional response to music is less about the music, and more about the person taking it in. Music-induced peak experiences can often be cathartic in nature, characterized by the feeling of releasing something within. In another study, John Sloboda (1992) reported how many listeners described music as a trigger or an outlet or a way to deal with things that are "bottled up" inside. He concluded that in many instances, "music does not create or change emotion; rather it allows a person access to the experience of emotions that are somehow already 'on the agenda' for that person, but not fully apprehended or dealt with" (p. 35).
Perhaps the most successful performers try to know the types of people who are in attendance at their concerts. They not only practice the notes that they will produce on stage, but they consider the other factors that will affect the audience's perception. Instead of merely accepting the conventions of their performance genre—for better or worse—they more actively select the physical and social factors that hold sway in live music. The may even have some insight into the kinds of emotions their audience members seek to have stirred up or released by the music they take in. Playing or singing for a crowd of engaged and emotionally responsive people will likely make the experience all the more rewarding for the performers themselves.

CuriousMark's Kurobox becomes a TiVo MediaServer Page
I have had a Kurobox for some time now and it has served well as a basic file server. I have been wanting to upgrade it to act as a media server for my TiVo, but didn't know enough Linux to feel comfortable attacking the task. Also, the thought of putting together all the pieces seemed a bit daunting. With the recent advent of nearly automatic upgrades to uboot and modern Debian distributions, plus the arrival of pyTiVo on the scene, it seems like now is the time to quit procrastinating and get started.
The primary resource is NAS-Central and the wonderful people who are behind it. I started by asking in the forums. Here is the thread that this page is based on. It shows the false starts and mis-steps that I will leave out here in order to keep things readable and usable. My thanks to Andre, mindbender, and davy_gravy for their help and patience with this Linux newbie.
This wiki is also a treasure trove of information and searches have often led me to a page with just the information I needed. It is good to see it growing and maturing.
Here are Mindbender's directions with annotations and hints based on my experience added.
how to install LNI uboot + 22.214.171.124-firmimg.bin + freelink to the original kurobox/LS1
Things to do to get the Kurobox ready and software needed.
This may be where to install a new bigger drive in the Kuro. It will wake up in EM-Mode and you should be able to work from there. I didn't do it that way, I had a working box, but planned on expanding the size of the boot partition. I didn't think about expanding it until I was well into the process and found that expanding it when I did, later on, may have been better than doing so before starting. Your results may differ, you could do it now. I will describe what I did when I get to that point in the upgrade process.
Next we need the uboot, flash kernel, and Freelink code. Mindbender shows getting it like this:
cd /mnt/
 wget http://downloads.nas-central.org/LS1_PPC/Bootloader/Uboot/Precompiled/u-boot-lsppchd-flash-1.2.0-r2.bin
 wget http://downloads.nas-central.org/ALL_LS_KB_PPC/Bootloader/UBoot/FirmimgBins/linux-126.96.36.199-list.mg.2-v3/firmimg.bin
 wget http://downloads.nas-central.org/LS1_PPC/Distributions/Freelink/TmpImages/tmpimage-FL-1-21-LS1.tgz
That is downloading the uboot binary + the 220.127.116.11 firmimg.bin and the freelink rootfs to /mnt/ which should be the point to which /dev/hda3 should be mounted.
Since my kurobox was only slightly updated, wget was not available to me. Instead I downloaded those files to my PC and then put them on the share drive of the kuro using windows networking. I then logged into the Kuro using telnet and moved them to the suggested directory. If you are working with a new drive, this may not be an option. The Kurobox supports ftp, and that is another way to get the files onto the box.
cd /mnt/
 mv /mnt/share/u-boot-lsppchd-flash-1.2.0-r2.bin u-boot-lsppchd-flash-1.2.0-r2.bin
 mv /mnt/share/firmimg.bin firmimg.bin
 mv/mnt/share/tmpimage-FL-1-21-LS1.tgz tmpimage-FL-1-21-LS1.tgz

Now the code is where it belongs.
Here is a link to the flash map of the LS1/kurobox original.
There you will see the bootloader-device is "/dev/fl2" and the firmimg.bin device is "/dev/fl1".
Updating Flash Memory and the boot partition
You can install the latest uboot without compiling by flashing the binary to /dev/fl2
see http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php?title=U-boot_bootloader#Flashing_U-Boot_from_Linux for the full up directions and warnings. This process was too daunting for me to try previously, so I am very glad that Mindbender provided the software and isntructions to just do it.
This is the critical part of this guide. in case anything goes wrong when flashing uboot you will need jtag to recover the box. Be warned! It worked for me on three boxes. It worked for me with no trouble either, but you should know you are doing this at your own risk, you really can brick your Kurobox.
installing uboot to /dev/fl2
dd if=u-boot-lsppchd-flash-1.2.0-r2.bin of=/dev/fl2 bs=1k
In case you have cmp on board of your currently installed execute the cmp command also to be completely sure that it worked.
I did not have cmp and did not compare. I ran into issues later and was able to compare from Freelink (as installed below) and found that Flashing worked flawlessly. If you do wish to compare, install it to your kurobox before beginning.
:# cmp u-boot-lsppchd-flash-1.2.0-r2.bin /dev/fl2
 :cmp: EOF on u-boot-lsppchd-flash-1.2.0-r2.bin
EOF on the file means it was a good comparison. The flash device doesn't end at the end of file, so this result is expected. Everything up to the end of file compared successfully.
installing the 22.214.171.124 firmimg.bin to /dev/fl1
If you do this uboot update, I also recommend you flash the 22.214.171.124/telnet/ftp-enabled firmimg.bin to flash. This has the functionality you are used to having on your kurobox. This is an updated flash kernel that has some nice features that really makes many tasks a breeze compared to the kuro's old EM-Mode
This is the kernel that will be used in EM-Mode and when you do a two flash uboot startup.
:dd if=firmimg.bin of=/dev/fl1 bs=1k
Again, if you have cmp onboard, use it to make sure everything was written correctly.
Do both of the above flash operations at the same time without rebooting. Then when you reboot you will see the box behaving differently. It should behave as shown in this youtube video by Mindbender:
Watch the video closely keeping your eyes on the disk fault light. It will blink 1, 2 or 3 times to indicate which boot mode it will execute when the entry timer expires. Each time you press the power button, the number of flashes will increment. If you do nothing it will boot "single flash". At this point in the upgrade you effectively can only boot to 2 and 3 blink mode as you only have a bootable kernel in flash, but not on the hard drive in the /boot directory (thats why you are flashing the 18.104.22.168-firmimg.bin, btw. If you don`t install the flash kernel, and reboot uboot will have problems finding a kernel to boot. The 1-blink mode will work as well, but in reality it will be 2 blink mode as it defaults to the flash kernel if no kernel is found in /boot on the hard drive. The Kurobox software does not have a /boot directory, so this is exactly what happens. A blank disk would also do the same.
Installing freelink to /dev/hda1
Once you have booted into EM mode with uboot (three flashes of the Disk Fail light during the uboot portion of startup), you can install freelink to /dev/hda1. Login via telnet, seeing the above welcome screen, and then you can do several things. The first thing I did was to repartition the hard drive. I used fdisk and mke2fs to create a 5GiB root partition, a 256MiB swap partition and left the rest of th 200GB hard drive for the working partition. Good generic directions can be found at [Convert your PPC LinkStation into a full-blown Debian system].
mount_disk
 cd /mnt/hda1
 rm -r *
 tar xzvf ../hda3/tmpimage-FL-1-21-LS1.tgz

That should be all, when you reboot again you will be running Freelink. This is now the beginning, Freelink needs configuring and addition of all the software you will want to make the box functional as a NAS and media server.
Installing U-Boot on a Kurobox HG
Here are Mindbender's directions.
how to install LNI uboot + 22.214.171.124-firmimg.bin to the kuroboxHG/LS HG/LS HS
This section is taken from Mindbender's post, but I have not tried it given that I only own an original Kurobox. It should work just as well as the standard update did for me.
cd /mnt/
(thats downloading the uboot binary + the 126.96.36.199 firmimg.bin to /mnt/ which should be the point where /dev/hda3 should be mounted to)
wget http://downloads.nas-central.org/LSHG_PPC/Bootloader/Uboot/Precompiled/u-boot-lsppchg-flash-1.2.0-r2.bin
wget http://downloads.nas-central.org/ALL_LS_KB_PPC/Bootloader/UBoot/FirmimgBins/linux-184.108.40.206-list.mg.2-v3/firmimg.bin
ok, here is the flash map of the LS HG/LS HS/kuroHG original. http://nas-central.org/index.php/Information/HGFlashROM there you see the bootloader-device /dev/mtd1 and the firmimg.bin device /dev/mtd0.
you can install the latest uboot without compiling by flashing the binary to /dev/mtd1 http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php?title=U-boot_bootloader#Flashing_U-Boot_from_Linux
this is the critical part of this guide. in case anything goes wrong when flashing uboot you ll need jtag. be warned. it worked for me on three boxes...
installing uboot to /dev/mtd1
dd if=u-boot-lsppchd-flash-1.2.0-r2.bin of=/dev/mtd1 bs=1k
in case you have cmp on board of your currently installed execute the cmp command also to be completely sure that it worked.
installing the 184.108.40.206 firmimg.bin to /dev/mtd0
if you do this, i recommend to flash the 184.108.40.206/telnet/ftp-enabled firmimg.bin to flash....this has the functionality you are used to on your kurobox.
dd if=firmimg.bin of=/dev/mtd0 bs=1k
again, if you have cmp onboard then use it to make sure everything got written correctly.
do both at the same time without rebooting. then you can reboot the first time...you ll see the box behaving differently...hopefully that way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTPrrUYd8O8
then you effectively can only boot to 2 and 3 blink mode as you only have a bootable kernel in flash (thats why you are flashing the 22.214.171.124-firmimg.bin btw...if you don`t and reboot uboot will have problems to find a kernel to boot). the 1-blink mode will work as well, but in reality it will be 2 blink mode as it defaults to the flash kernel if no kernel is found in /boot
Update to latest 2.6-kernel last desirable thing to do is to update to a late 2.6 by running andre`s webinstaller with variant-uboot mode: http://hvkls.dyndns.org/downloads/documentation/README-webinstaller.html
This did not go well for me at first. Here is my expanded set of directions that worked better.
Update Freelink before updating the kernel to 2.6
I found that the web installer failed and asked me to reinstall several items using apt-get when I ran it on a virgin Freelink installation. When I tried to do the re-installs, apt-get cried foul and failed saying I needed to run apt-get update first. Upon running that, it had a failure and recommended running it again. the second apt-get update worked with no error messages and then the re-installs worked fine. After all of that, the web-installer ran without a hitch. Here is a summary of the command lines and the order that should get things up and running quickest.
foonas is easier for testing you can between also test http://downloads.foonas.org/foonas/alpha/lsppchd/foonas-bootstrap-image-1.0-dev-lsppchd.rootfs-svn-1062.tar.gz it has the advantage that you do not need to provide a 2.6-kernel as it already has one included...and /etc/fstab is already modified the right way.....so you would only need to untar it to /dev/hda1 and then reboot to 1 blink mode.
Things left to do when upgrading to 2.6 remember that if you update to a 2.6 kernel using foonas you will have to modify /dev/fstab...in 2.4 all devices were called /dev/hdaX , in the current foonas 2.6-kernels they use the /dev/sdaX device. The 2.6 kernel installed by Andre's web installer uses hdaX and no modification to /def/fstab is required when using it.

About this title
Breathtakingly suspenseful and beautifully written, THE HISTORIAN is the story of a young woman plunged into a labyrinth where the secrets of her family's past connect to an inconceivable evil: the dark fifteenth-century reign of Vlad the Impaler and a time-defying pact that may have kept his awful work alive through the ages. The search for the truth becomes an adventure of monumental proportions, taking us from monasteries and dusty libraries to the capitals of Eastern Europe--in a feat of storytelling so rich, so hypnotic, so exciting that it has enthralled readers around the world.Review:
If your pulse flutters at the thought of castle ruins and descents into crypts by moonlight, you will savor every creepy page of Elizabeth Kostova's long but beautifully structured thriller The Historian. The story opens in Amsterdam in 1972, when a teenage girl discovers a medieval book and a cache of yellowed letters in her diplomat father's library. The pages of the book are empty except for a woodcut of a dragon. The letters are addressed to: "My dear and unfortunate successor." When the girl confronts her father, he reluctantly confesses an unsettling story: his involvement, twenty years earlier, in a search for his graduate school mentor, who disappeared from his office only moments after confiding to Paul his certainty that Dracula--Vlad the Impaler, an inventively cruel ruler of Wallachia in the mid-15th century--was still alive. The story turns out to concern our narrator directly because Paul's collaborator in the search was a fellow student named Helen Rossi (the unacknowledged daughter of his mentor) and our narrator's long-dead mother, about whom she knows almost nothing. And then her father, leaving just a note, disappears also.
As well as numerous settings, both in and out of the East Bloc, Kostova has three basic story lines to keep straight--one from 1930, when Professor Bartolomew Rossi begins his dangerous research into Dracula, one from 1950, when Professor Rossi's student Paul takes up the scent, and the main narrative from 1972. The criss-crossing story lines mirror the political advances, retreats, triumphs, and losses that shaped Dracula's beleaguered homeland--sometimes with the Byzantines on top, sometimes the Ottomans, sometimes the rag-tag local tribes, or the Orthodox church, and sometimes a fresh conqueror like the Soviet Union.
Although the book is appropriately suspenseful and a delight to read--even the minor characters are distinctive and vividly seen--its most powerful moments are those that describe real horrors. Our narrator recalls that after reading descriptions of Vlad burning young boys or impaling "a large family," she tried to forget the words: "For all his attention to my historical education, my father had neglected to tell me this: history's terrible moments were real. I understand now, decades later, that he could never have told me. Only history itself can convince you of such a truth." The reader, although given a satisfying ending, gets a strong enough dose of European history to temper the usual comforts of the closing words. --Regina Marler

The frustration was obvious, and clear with every fist pound into the Lubbock turf after a dropped pass or failed fourth-down conversion in Saturday's lopsided loss to Texas Tech.
West Virginia's offense looked unstoppable through its first five games, all wins that propelled the Mountaineers into the top five of the polls.
And then, suddenly, it wasn't.
"I don't think anybody across the country in the history of football is able to put up the kind of numbers we were on a very, very consistent basis," coach Dana Holgorsen said. "We've got to be able to find other ways to have some guys step up and we've got to be able to win some games in other areas of the field as well, such as special teams and defense."
The Mountaineers rank ninth in the Big 12 in scoring and total defense, and are giving up 6.33 yards per play, eighth most in the Big 12.
Those struggles lack a likely immediate fix for a team that rode the back of its offense to a 5-0 start, the same offense that was suddenly undone by one bad day.
"It probably started with the inability to run the ball, didn't do a very good job of finishing blocks early in the game. Didn't make anybody miss at the running back spot," Holgorsen said. "It wasn't the only problem, but we just never got into a rhythm. Tech does a good job defensively, they have against everybody they've played. They were disruptive."
It disrupted Geno Smith into his second consecutive game without a touchdown pass when throwing longer than 15 yards downfield, according to ESPN Stats and Info. Smith had completed 78 percent (43-of-55) of his passes against the blitz before Saturday's loss. Against Texas Tech, he was just 3-of-10. On his three completions against the blitz, he averaged just 3.5 yards per throw, compared to 8.9 over the rest of the season.
Even the receivers weren't immune to the bad day, dropping five passes to offer Smith little help when he needed it most. That total was the second highest since the beginning of the 2010 season, and in games when WVU drops at least five passes, it is just 1-2, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
"We'll go about it the same way we did after the previous five games when we were successful offensively. I don't think there's anything wrong with what we're doing offensively," Holgorsen said. "I think we had a bad game."
The defense has struggled all season, but it was worse against Texas Tech. It gave up 18 plays longer than 15 yards, including 13 in the first half. West Virginia hadn't given up more than 13 plays longer than 15 yards in an entire game since 2006, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
"When we got out there and fell behind, I think our guys weren't mentally tough enough to be able to handle another shootout. I think that affected their performance. We weren't able to throw the ball down the field when we got guys open down the field, we didn't do a good job of hitting them," Holgorsen said. "It was a combination of a lot of things."
This week's practice has been about fixing that combination, and if the Mountaineers can't against No. 4 Kansas State, they'll be staring at a two-game losing streak and slim, slim hopes at a Big 12 title in their first year in the league.

Crowley's John Jackson wins awards in Denver
TransworldWorld SNOWboarding loves John Jackson.
One of the leading voices in the sport gave the Crowley Lake resident its Rider of the Year award, along with the Men's Video Part of the Year.
It was the second straight year the magazine gave him the two awards, making him a downright celebrity, if he wasn't already.
The awards were announced last Friday at the 2011 TransWorld SNOWboarding Poll Award show in Denver.
In another era, Jackson might have wanted to call home to tell the news to his mom, Shirley, and track down brother Eric, too.
He's past that in the era of Social Media.
Shirley got the news by Twitter.
By Saturday, she also had a new Twitter account
Even so, "I'm waiting for him to call me," she said.

Louisiana Tech athletic director Bruce Van De Velde told The Associated Press on Sunday that he was waiting to hear if his football coach, Sonny Dykes, would be hired by Cal.
Cal was said to be interviewing Kent State coach Darrell Hazell, but Dykes is believed to be the leading candidate to replace Jeff Tedford, fired Nov. 20 after 11 seasons. Van De Velde told the AP that Dykes had interviewed for the Cal job.
After Louisiana Tech was left out of the bowl picture, former NBA star Karl Malone — a Louisiana Tech alum — sounded as if he might help Dykes pack his bags.
Amid reports that Louisiana Tech turned down an invitation to the Independence Bowl, Malone blasted the school and seemed to take a shot at the Bulldogs' coach.
"Wouldn't it be nice to hire a person doing it for university, and not somebody doing it for a bigger and better job in their mind?" he wrote on Twitter.
Van De Velde later said Louisiana Tech had not turned down the Independence Bowl but merely asked for more time while waiting for other potential options.
Ohio will play Louisiana-Monroe in the Dec. 28 game at Shreveport, La.
Dykes, 43, whose team was 9-3 and led the nation in scoring this season, said in a statement he didn't anticipate the Bulldogs being shut out of a bowl but offered no comment on his status with Cal.
Neither Dykes' wife nor his father responded to phone messages left Sunday by this newspaper.
Hazell, 48, who guided the Golden Flashes to their first winning season in 11 years, was the latest name to surface in the Bears' search. ESPN reported that Hazell was scheduled to interview Sunday.
Kent State is 11-2 and ranked in the AP Top 25 the past three weeks for the first time since 1973.
The Golden Flashes lost 44-37 in double-overtime to Northern Illinois in the Mid-American Conference title game and will play Arkansas State in the GoDaddy.com Bowl in Mobile, Ala., on Jan. 6.
Named the MAC Coach of the Year, Hazell has led Kent State to victories in 15 of its past 18 games.
He is 16-9 in two seasons since arriving from a seven-year stint as an assistant coach at Ohio State.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) A venture capitalist has opted to sell his recently purchased northwest Portland home to neighbors instead of demolishing it.
Kevin Rose is a general partner for Google Ventures.
Earlier this year, he paid $1.3 million for a house built in 1892. He initially planned to renovate the old place. When that proved costly, he decided to tear it down and build a 5,900-square-foot home with a modern design.
That outraged neighbors who didn't want the historic home demolished. An online petition to save the home garnered 3,000 signatures, but demolition was expected to start this week.
On Tuesday, Rose agreed to sell the home for $1.375 million. He said in a statement that he and his wife did not want an adversarial relationship with their neighbors and new city friends.

text: These novels offer up a series of images of "the college girl" in a social context where that identity was still being established. The students of the earliest women's colleges were unusual in that they came from prosperous families willing to encourage their daughters' intellectual interests. The popular stereotype of the college girl in the early days was one of wealth and a sometimes off-putting "braininess". But by the time these series became popular, the women's college was not such a novelty. More girls considered going to college, and more of their parents were prepared to consider sending them. Exactly what the college girl was, then, became important and these popular novels played a part in the increasing acceptance of higher education for women. The stories depict predominantly friendly communities in which a good-natured (and incidentally, good-looking) girl can make her way, with kindly guardians and reasonable rules, healthy living, and experiences through which the girls become not just better scholars, but also better people. They must have reassured both parents and daughters that attending college would in fact improve the girls' lives.

MilfHunter presents Adriana in video Room for two
Rating: 2.91
Levi and I decided to get some R&R with Mr. Tee at the country club. When we got there, the attendant decided to set us up with a couple who had booked the same slot we did. At first Levi and I did not want to deal with anyone else but giving Adryana a once over changed our minds. We played for a while and we got to know the couple. Adryana let down her hair and really started pouring on the flirts and sexual advances towards Levi. I thought her hubby was going to be furious but instead he just laughed along and almost encouraged her more. She finally reminded to her husband how they both always wanted to try a threesome. I am positive his idea of a threesome was a little different than the situation we had going on, but he agreed as long as he could cash in his threesome experience at a later date. Levi dashed to the golf cart and floored it all the way to the country club locker rooms. Adryana handled two cocks like it was just another day for her and her sweet Latina ass had her hubby and Levi going crazy.

UC San Diego Health Achieves ANCC Magnet® Recognition for Nursing Excellence.
UC San Diego Health has joined a prestigious list of healthcare organizations that have been recognized as part of the American Nurses Credentialing Center's (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program®, which recognizes superior quality in nursing care.
ANCC conducts thorough evaluations of hospitals seeking recognition, judging proficiency and leadership in the following five key areas that are considered global issues in nursing and healthcare:
To achieve Magnet recognition, organizations must pass a rigorous and lengthy process that demands widespread participation from leadership and staff. The process begins with the submission of an electronic application, followed by written documentation demonstrating qualitative and quantitative evidence regarding patient care and outcomes. If scores from the written documentation fall within a range of excellence, an on-site visit will occur to thoroughly assess the applicant. After this rigorous on-site review process, the Commission on Magnet will review the completed appraisal report and vote to determine whether Magnet recognition will be granted.
Currently, only 6% out of nearly 6,000 U.S. healthcare organizations have achieved Magnet recognition.


text: Rescued Rooney came to our Animal Rescue team as a cold-stunned turtle, and suffered several cuts and wounds while he was stunned – these usually occur as the turtles are tossed in the surf and against rock jetties/sandy beaches. Most of these wounds healed well, with the exception of one very deep abscess behind his right front flipper. Our veterinarians managed the abscess with frequent cleaning and antibiotic therapy and even used a unique item to help combat the infection – honey. Honey has bacteriostatic properties, meaning it stops bacteria from reproducing, and can be purchased as a medical treatment in several different forms – including gauze and wound dressings. While honey is used in many species to help heal wounds, Rooney required a little more than what the bees could provide. Rehabilitated Husbandry staff and veterinarians had started treating a chronic abscess that Rooney developed with honey, but quickly realized that the abscess needed to be removed all together. A soft tissue surgeon came in to assist our veterinarians with the abscess removal. As you can imagine, being sedated for exams and surgeries is a very different experience from what these animals encounter in the wild, so we are very anxious to get Rooney back into his natural habitat where he can swim freely and forage for his favorite foods like blue crabs and squid. While in rehabilitation with the National Aquarium, Rooney gained 19.3 pounds, and is currently consuming a diet of blue crabs, squid, shrimp and lean fish! Released We packed up the trusty truck with supplies and our two sea turtles, and headed to the warmer southern shore waters of Virginia Beach. Virginia Aquarium's Stranding team was set to release two loggerhead sea turtles of their own, so we asked if they wouldn't mind our team joining them for a few days. The four loggerheads were met with a crowd of over 300 people who came to bid them well wishes and safe travels as they head back into their natural environment! Tracked Each turtle was accompanied by a satellite tag and an acoustic tag for tracking purposes and research opportunities. Read more about Rooney's travels and see a tracking map, here.
