New York City Population Hits Record High
The Big Apple is getting bigger.
New York City's population has hit a record high of 8,405,837, according to an estimate released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau. The city's population, as of July 2013, increased by 230,704 people, or roughly 2.8%, since 2010.
Each of the city's five boroughs posted population gains, with both Queens and Staten Island reporting new population highs. An analysis of the data from the New York City Department of City Planning showed the largest change occurred in Brooklyn, where the population grew by 3.5%, or 87,400 people; followed by Queens (2.9%, 65,500 people); Manhattan (2.5%, 40,300 people); the Bronx (2.4%, 33,600 people); and Staten Island (0.8%, 3,900 people).
City officials attributed the population increase, in part, to a decline in the number of people leaving the city and a continued surplus of births over deaths.
"These population increases underscore the need to spur creation of housing for all New Yorkers, something which we are focusing on as part of the mayor's mandate to provide 200,000 affordable apartments over the next 10 years," said Carl Weisbrod, chairman of the Planning Commission.
In 2007, Mayor Bill de Blasio's predecessor, Michael Bloomberg, released a document called PlaNYC, an initiative aimed at preparing the city for 1 million more residents by 2030. The document outlined efforts to combat climate change and ensure New Yorkers leave a healthier and cleaner city for generations to come.

Talk:Events for New Members or First-Timers
Acronym Free Zone
With a targeted audience of new members or first-timers, it is probably best if all information added to this page have expanded definitions of any acronyms being used.
I am a librarian from a small library in Canada, and am seriously thinking of attending ALA midwinter....I love Seattle too...is Midwinter maybe out of my league? I run a small library in a town of 5000 people...would the big annual conference be a better conference to attend?
Any advice, recommendations are welcome.
By policy, the Midwinter Meeting is largely a working meeting, with minimal regular programming--the President's Program on Sunday afternoon is the exception. There are several pre-meeting workshops, some with a fee. Committee meetings are open for the most part, and many have interesting discussions beyond their business agendas of planning future activities and hashing out policy documents. Some of the divisions have discussion or interest groups that have meetings with short presentations on a topic, followed by open discussion. And if your interests include book awards, attending the press conference for the media awards (Newbery, Caldecott, Printz, etc.) on Monday morning could be a highlight! There are also extensive exhibits (though smaller than those at the Annual Conference).
Depending on what you are hoping to learn from attending, the Midwinter Meeting could be informative, and as it is generally smaller, you may have a better opportunity to make contacts with others in small libraries.
Explore the official site, the ALA website, and this wiki in detail ... see if what's offered will benefit you ... a Midwinter Meeting could just be the place to get involved in the work of the Association ... committees are always looking for volunteers to take on projects, not all of which require attendance at future conferences.
More for Jim
Jim, As a Canadian myself and loooong time attendee of ALA Midwinter and Annual you will find Midwinter very useful. What Samantha said was "by policy" the reality is, is that there is PLENTEE of programming at Mdiwinter, but you have to know the codes... words like "discussion groups" are code for programme at Midwinter.
If you're interested in particular topic areas - for example PLA - reference services for teens, check the PLA Official meetings information and you'll likely find programmes oops! discussion groups of interest.
The Exhibits are a great at Midwinter. Vendors expect to talk to those in decision making roies It's a great way to see the new stuff and talk to knowledgable people and learn a lot too. If you deal with vendors at your library, tell your reps you're going to be at Midwinter and you'll get the invitations to their receptions and other "private" events. Another great way to network.
Talk to people, get involved, and you'll find plenty to keep you busy. Take part in social events too. Enjoy! Terri

Allison Janney: So, I told the President, you have got to do something about gas prices.
Joshua Malina: Everyone knows the President has no control over gas prices.
Melissa Fitzgerald: Uh, not everyone knows that.
Allison Janney: Duffy, do you have the new initiative?
Joshua Malina: New? What initiative?
Melissa Fitzgerald: Initiative? Sounds important.
William Duffy: It is important.
Joshua Malina: So tell us what it is.
Dule Hill: Did somebody say initiative?
Joshua Malina: Actually, a bunch of us said initiative.
Allison Janney: I definitely said initiative.
William Duffy: This initiative cuts the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
Allison Janney: It says it does the same for breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer.
Dule Hill: It prevents depression, too.
Melissa Fitzgerald: And it only takes thirty minutes a day?
Dule Hill: [??] won't like this.
Joshua Malina: What do they have to do?
Dule Hill: Nothing. I just thought someone should say that.
Allison Janney: We need to talk to the President.
William Duffy: I was heading there.
Allison Janney: That's where I'm headed.
Melissa Fitzgerald: I'm right behind ya. Headed there as well.
Joshua Malina: Me too. Coming!
Dule Hill: I had another walk and talk to go to, but I think I'll stay with this one.
Joshua Malina: Did you guys see this can lower risk of heart disease?
Allison Janney: Well of course we did! It's our initiative!
William Duffy: Actually, it's my initiative.
Allison Janney: Yours, mine, what's the difference? [Smack]
William Duffy: Ow.
Allison Janney: Mister President? Mister President. [Thump]
Martin Sheen: Missus Nightingham! Somebody's in the house!
William Duffy: She's dead, sir.
Martin Sheen: Right.
Allison Janney: Mister President, I want you to look at an initiative.
Martin Sheen: I'm a very busy man.
Dule Hill: Sir, we need your help. We need to convince the American people to do something that's good for them.
Martin Sheen: Oh, that's impossible.
Allison Janney: Please, sir. Just have a look.
Martin Sheen: Oh my.
Melissa Fitzgerald: What's wrong? It's not too dangerous is it?
Martin Sheen: Not at all.
Allison Janney: Is it too expensive?
Martin Sheen: Actually, it's free.
Joshua Malina: Does it involve wearing leather gloves and tight pink spandex?
Martin Sheen: I suppose it could, but no.
Dule Hill: The problem is, that it's too simple.
William Duffy: Yes. It's very simple. It's walking.
Joshua Malina: I may be late to the game here, but what is walking?
Allison Janney: You know. Walking. We do it all the time?
Joshua Malina: [Gasp] Am I doing it now?
Allison Janney: Sort of.
Martin Sheen: Look at this, friends. Just one half hour a day, or two fifteen minute walks are beneficial.
Dule Hill: What about three ten minute walks?
Martin Sheen: That'll do it!
Allison Janney: Or ten three minute walks.
Martin Sheen: That adds up to thirty minutes.
Joshua Malina: This will never sell.
Martin Sheen: You're right. We need an idea.
Joshua Malina: What about a show about walking and talking?
All Cast Members: NO!
Martin Sheen: Friends, in the time of Socrates...
Allison Janney: Oh Lord.
Martin Sheen: Philosopher kings would walk round and round the Parthenon to stimulate discourse. Walking increases circulation, generates positive neuro-chemicals in the brain, and this, above all, to thine own self be true.
William Duffy: And more importantly.
Martin Sheen: And more importantly, walking is where I get all of my best ideas. Thank you, Charlie. Come, friends! We're going for a walk!

"Why We Write" by Associate Dean for Research William S. Dodge
Trashing legal scholarship has become something of a sport. Chief Justice Roberts complained recently that law reviews are filled with articles like "the influence of Immanuel Kant on evidentiary approaches in 18th-century Bulgaria." The reality is quite different. As illustrated in this issue, UC Hastings faculty write about things that matter, and their scholarship influences both courts and policymakers.
At the heart of "engaged scholarship" is scholarship—careful, time-consuming research and analysis that explores a problem in greater depth than most lawyers, judges, and policymakers have time for. As Mary Kay Kane says, "We are members of the legal profession but we have the luxury of time to think. So we have an obligation to improve the law."
Our faculty's influence on courts shows in our statistics on court citations. Just last Term, Justice Alito cited Rory Little's article on the historical understanding of the Sixth Amendment to suggest that the Supreme Court should reconsider its position on proving sentencing factors. UC Hastings professors are also translating their research to have a direct impact on policymakers. The White House recently relied on Robin Feldman's work on patent trolls in making recommendations to Congress, while Joan Williams' theories of family-responsibilities discrimination have changed policy at the EEOC. Other faculty take a longer-term approach, akin to basic research in the sciences. Thus, at a time when the Supreme Court is adopting a colorblind theory of equal protection, Osagie Obasogie's study of how blind people see race challenges the very possibility of colorblindness.
Finally, our faculty is bringing scholarship into the classroom. As UC Hastings Director Chip Robertson notes, research makes better teachers. Imagine the chance to take Scientific Evidence from David Faigman as the California Supreme Court adopts his positions on expert testimony, or Military Law from Beth Hillman while she advises the Pentagon. These are the opportunities UC Hastings students have today—and they are enriched by "engaged scholarship."

This is the reversible cabled hat from Dove Knits; she's knocked out a number of shockingly beautiful FOs since this pattern was posted just three weeks ago – this little number is the tip of the iceberg. Plus, it has the added bonus of looking just like Marge Simpson's beehive while under construction.
I made just one change to the pattern – I added a cable repeat to provide a better fit for my husband's taller/larger head. I also used a provisional cast to begin so that I could start the second hat using live stitches, rather than stitches picked up from the cast on edge. Take note: this is an excellent first cable project, and a terrific item to practice cabling without a needle, which is the way I roll. I was so tickled that the cables actually twisted both ways that it almost reignited my Cable and Rib fire – almost.
In other knitting news, I've been knitting a pair of Tidepool socks for my mom for what feels like forever. About a month ago, I discovered to my horror that I was going to run out of yarn, and spent hours scouring the Internet for a suitable heel and toe substitute – I looked that thousands of skeins of yarn. Apparently, I am the only person in the Western world who thinks that "hot pink" means this color – everyone else thinks that's "shocking pink." This is why I now have four newly-acquired skeins of Koigu in my stash – say hot pink, get some other pink. I love these socks, but I'm honestly a little bit sick of looking at pink Koigu. I know, cry me a river.

Ext2/3 Partitions - Mounting them on the Desktop
- Data Recovery and Access: If you need GUI-based access to the contents of a hard drive, or if you need to mount an ext2/3 hard drive on a computer running Windows or OS X, this page may have an answer for you. The process outlined here is useful for someone rescuing data from a backup USB hard drive, or from a data partition in a Linkstation.
- Filesizes in the terabyte range: Why would you want ext2/3 format anyway? Well Windows formats (FAT, FAT32, NTFS) have some serious limitations to them, namely filesize. For FAT the filesize limit is 2GB, and for FAT32 or VFAT is it 4GB. OS X doesn't have these limitations for its HFS+, but it is a proprietary format and is not readable to many computer systems. Therefore, ext2/3 is a viable alternative. With drivers, it is readable by nearly all OS's, and it has a filesize limit that runs in the terabytes.
- Not being locked out: Perhaps the biggest reason for many FreeLink users is that Buffalo has for years used a proprietary ext2-like format for USB hard drives attached to the Linkstation. This format has a large filesize limit, but it does not mount under Linux, Windows or OS X. Moving to Freelink gives us the opportunity to unplug that USB drive and mount it directly to ones desktop, using the methods shown here.
- a USB storage device (flash, IDE or SATA) or hard drive formatted in ext2 or ext3
- a computer running
- OS X (10.3-10.4.x are currently supported),
- Windows or
- Linux/Unix
- for OS X: ext2fsx driver at SourceForge.net
- for Windows: explore2fs or Ext2 Installable File System For Windows
- for Linux: Any common desktop distribution (including a bootable or Live CD from Ubuntu or Knoppix) already comes with ext2/ext3 support
- for Unix: Ask the vendor for an ext2/ext3 file system implementation
- for any partition that was formatted by original/stock Linkstation firmware, you may need first to use Fix ext2 magic to make it readable by machines other than a Linkstation
Before connecting
Connecting and Determining disk info
Before connecting
Make sure that you have ext2fsx installed. Read its documentation (in the ReadMe.rtf) before going further. Be aware that if it detects a filesystem that isn't clean, it will run fsck_ext on it automatically.
If you have the disk/partition mounted, make sure that you unmount it cleanly from current mount point. Double check that it is unmounted by using
df -Th
in Linux or whatever the analogous command is in your operating system.
NOTE: As of version 1.4d, journaling is not supported in extfsx. Unjournaled writes to a journaled device can cause irreversible damage and unrecoverable data loss. For non-journaled drives, write access sometimes works, but has cause kernel panics for some users. Be careful to mount it read-only if you have valuable data on it that you don't want to lose.
Mounting & Unmounting
- Connect your drive to your computer, either by USB or via an IDE/SATA cable.
via the GUI
- The GUI interface provided through the Preferences Pane in OS X usually works out of the box, provided the volume you try to mount is clean. As of version 1.4d4, write access to nonjournaled volumes works, but some of us have experienced kernel panics when writing. To avoid problems, it may be safer to:
- Open System Preferences
- Select ExtFSManager
- Select the ext2/3 device, and then the carrot/triangle just to its left, to view the volume you want to mount
- Select the volume and then the Option button. Check the Mount Read-Only
- Unmount it and then mount it again. Subsequent mounts should remember the options, but might not.
- To unmount, use the normal Eject function in the Finder.
via Command Line
If the GUI doesn't work for you then the command line method might still get you connected. You must log in as administrator, make a mount directory in /Volumes, and then mount the partition. The commands below are for a partition that is the first on disk2, for example.
- Determine the disk number of the device and partition that you hve attached. Start Disk Utility and find your ext2/3 device's partition icon (orange probably). Click on it and select Info. The disk number should read something like disk2s1.
- To mount it:
sudo -s mkdir /Volumes/linux mount_ext2 -o rdonly -x /dev/disk2s1 /Volumes/linux
- For desktop access:
- Go to the Finder Menu
- Under Go, do Go->Go To Folder and type in /Volumes/linux , then press OK.
- To unmount and confirm that it is unmounted:
umount /dev/disk2s1 df -Th
Problems, error messages, possible causes and possible fixes:
- Mounting via the GUI in OS X using Ext2FSManager (in System Preferences) doesn't work. The most commond cause of this is that the ext2/3 filesystem that you are trying to mount wasn't unmounted correctly or it is not clean. You can:
- let the fsck_ext2/3 that comes with ext2fsx try to automatically check and correct the problem (this will initiate automatically if it doesn't mount), or
- kill the fsck_ext2/3 process that you see running and connect it to a Linux box and run fsck from there.
- Invalid argument
mount_ext2: /dev/disk3s1 on /Volumes/linux: Invalid argument
If you are using a USB drive, this may mean that you forgot to unmount (see the Unmount section above) before physically disconnecting your cable.
- No such directory
/dev/disk3s1 on /Volumes/linux: No such file or directory
You may have forgotten to create the mount point directory in /Volumes.

Daniel Snyder Does Not Like Vanilla Ice Cream, So Says Mike Nolan
by Larry Brown
I had been meaning to write this story for quite some time, but it wasn't until this morning when I linked to a post about Daniel Snyder that I was reminded to share it. I'm finishing up John Feinstein's book, Next Man Up, which is a behind the scenes account of the 2004 Baltimore Ravens. That season, Mike Nolan was the defensive coordinator with Baltimore, his last year with the team prior to accepting a head coaching position with the 49ers. Well, Nolan shared a story from his days with the Redskins. Apparently he and owner Daniel Snyder did not get along.
Early that season, after a Redskins loss, Snyder told Nolan that his defensive calls were "too vanilla." Like the other coaches, Nolan had figured out by then that trying to explain football to Snyder was pointless, since he already had the game figured out. A few days later a gallon of 31 Flavors ice cream showed up on Nolan's desk with a note that said, "This is what I like. Not vanilla."
Nolan laughed and sent Snyder a note: "Thanks for the ice cream. My kids enjoyed it."
"The first time it was actually kind of funny," Nolan said. "I didn't mind it at all."
The next time wasn't as funny.
The Redskins lost on the road to Dallas, and Nolan went into his office late Sunday night to start looking at game tape. When he arrived, there were three giant canisters of melting 31 Flavors ice cream on his desk with another note: "I wasn't joking. I do not like vanilla."
Feinstein had the story confirmed by other sources around the league. How great is that one? Leave it to Snyder to take a fun figure of speech and turn it into literal meaning. If anyone wants to find out why the Redskins suck so much, you don't have to look any further than the top. Now, whenever the Niners and Redskins meet, you know whose side to wager on.
For the Blank haters....

For the Blank haters....
It could be worse, we could have Daniel Snyder. Great story involving Mike Nolan....
Re: For the Blank haters....
You're right, it definitely could be worse.
It could also be better. Instead of all our GMs getting off the plan after 3 years, you know, they could actually stick to trying to build up this team's talen rather than going all-in and trying to win a Super Bowl with a 9-win team.

Re: For the Blank haters....
Blank means well, and he doesn't send ice cream. Grand scheme of things, he's better than most. I really do think we will get a title in the next decade under his ownership.
Re: For the Blank haters....
Blank means well, and he doesn't send ice cream.
What the hell does that mean? He's better than most??? Blank is not better than anyone!! I remember
when we first got Blank and we had goobers saying how Blank was so great a person we shouldn't play
the games, we had Blank and that was more than enough!!
In sports "meaning well" mean nothing, your either a winner or loser and Blank's a loser!! Look you guys can say anything, but look at our record with Blank, I'm ashamed he's our owner, and their is no one worse than Blank!! He's an embarrassment to Atlanta, the Falcons, and to pro football.....
I'll be easy on him since he's already screwing up this season, he hires a rookie coach, bet anyone Rex
Ryan does better than the rookie head coach Blank hired!!
Re: For the Blank haters....
I really do think we will get a title in the next decade under his ownership
Why?? Why has he absolutely sucked as an owner over his time here?
Look I'll make this easy to understand. Blank has had long enough to know as much football as any of us. Its obvious he didn't work to learn it, so he's either not interested, or he;s a stupid moron!!
Look Bernie Marcus carried Arthur for years. Now that he's on his own Blanks looking really bad!! Blank
had a lot of people to cover for him in the job that made him rich, but not now, with Blank we have no chance.
Actually he should have got a Gm and kept Reeves as head coach!! Blank was afraid Reeves would get to much credit. Reeves didn't have a good record then, but we would have got kept Vick out of trouble!! Blank thought it would be easy so he hired Bobby Petrino. There's Blank's feel for a head coach, when we have a losing record again, will anybody besides me understand you don't lose for years, then justify our ownership as stellar??

My husband, son and I took a lovely 30 minute trip to Gizdich Ranch to pick...er, buy ten pounds of olallieberries. The place was packed with folks, so I decided to spend $3.00 a pound on boxed fresh olallieberries rather than $1.80 a pound if we picked them ourselves. I also purchased a bottle of their olallieberry syrup, which cost almost $7.00. (I made a mental note to learn how to make my own.)
Tip: I buy Chinese restaurant style takeout boxes at a local restaurant supply (for pennies each) and freeze my berries. (Extra tip: I also use these takeout boxes when gifting guests with food to take home...I don't lose my personal containers that way, anymore!) These berries are highly perishable, so I don't waste time preserving them. Each box usually yields enough to fill a pie and they store easily in my upright freezer. If you don't know what an olallieberry is, I'm so sorry!
Think of them as a blackberry, boysenberry and marionberry all in one. They are sweet and tart, and my husband and son are crazy about them.
As special treat, I made candied bacon. Colleen, of the blog "Colleen's Recipes" (she's a sweetheart who blogs wonderful recipes just about every single day) posted that she didn't have success with hers. Well, Colleen, I'm going to show you how I finally perfected this recipe.
First, the bacon. Preheat your oven to 400F:
I use a baking sheet, lined with foil (for faster cleanup). I use a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet and line the bacon slices evenly-- I buy thicker cut bacon. I don't measure-- I just sprinkle brown sugar and then pop into the oven and set the timer for 10 minutes.
In the meantime, I removed my frozen berries (blueberries work just fine, too). I quick thaw them with some cold water.
Once I make my pancake batter and get the griddle ready, I am ready to go! Pay close attention to the bacon, though! The brown sugar can easily caramelize and then burn. As the fat renders, you might get smoke. After 10 minutes, I remove the bacon and turn them over with tongs. I sprinkle a little brown sugar on the other side and turn down the oven to 350F. Here' where you want to be careful, though. It can take 5-10 minutes more for the bacon to be ready-- I just check on it, to make sure I don't burn it. I'm speaking from experience!
For the pancakes, I drop some berries into the batter. The heat will finish thawing them out.
The bacon is ready...how good does this look? My boys are really happy. I can already see them eying the candied bacon, and calculating how many pieces they each get. I'm not surrendering my share! I don't eat bacon very often, but this is a treat.
What a breakfast! The sun is nowhere in sight, so it's a good day to bake. I have so many recipes I've bookmarked, I don't know where to start!
I would like to take this opportunity to express how much I appreciate each and every person who reads my blog. Those of you who, faithfully, leave comments-- it means a lot to me. Some of you leave comments, but I don't know how to email you! If I could, I would like to send you a personal note of thanks.
Food blogging is evolving into a hobby, a passion and a lot of fun. I've made a lot of wonderful foodie friends-- we speak the same language and love to talk about our passion in the kitchen.
Thank you!

History of the Alabama Department of Archives and HistoryAlabama created the first state department of archives and history in the United States. Founded in 1901, the Alabama Department of Archives and History became a model for many other states.
The movement to create the Alabama Archives represented a convergence of three cultural interests. The progressive movement, then spreading across the United States reflected an interest in improved education which would foster a better informed and more civic-minded citizenry. Progressives were also interested in better information for public officials to help them in decisions on public policy issues.
The second interest was the desire to preserve the material documenting service to the state in the Civil War. Through the 1890s, the feeling of a need to honor those who had served the Confederacy grew increasingly stronger. This memorial movement led to the establishment of patriotic societies, the erection of monuments, and the creation of the Department of Archives and History as an institution in which key documents and artifacts could be preserved. Over the years since 1901, this mission has broadened. The department now seeks to ensure the preservation of records and artifacts that can tell the story of all people who have contributed to the building of the state.
The third interest in the creation of the department was the need to preserve the materials necessary for understanding our history. By the turn of the twentieth century, the state of Alabama was over eighty years old and had accumulated significant bodies of historical material. Yet, there was no formal system for preserving that material and making it available for research. Also, with the growth of schools, the increase in the number of professional historians, and the professionalization of historical training and education came an expanded recognition of need for a facility where this historical material could be studied. By supporting this research and the dissemination of information about Alabama's past, the department has sought to promote a more complete and accurate understanding of Alabama history.
Thomas McAdory Owen, founder and first director of the Alabama Department of Archives and History
These three interests were simultaneously embodied in the person of Thomas Owen, the driving force in creating the Alabama Department of Archives and History. Owen argued that the state has a responsibility to preserve the basic records of its people and its history. He served as director for almost 20 years and built the Alabama Archives into one of the most important cultural agencies not only in Alabama but in the United States.
In this original agency were the beginnings of the public library movement in Alabama, efforts to improve history education, a reference service for the legislature, research on and the marking of significant Alabama historical sites--all functions now performed by other agencies--along with other historical activities that continue to be carried out by the department.
Thomas Owen was succeeded by his widow, Marie Bankhead Owen. Under her leadership, the department continued to expand its collections. Mrs. Owen also continued her husband's effort to secure a new archives building. The Archives had originally been housed in the old Senate Cloak Room, and it moved into the new South Wing of the Capitol when that addition was finished in 1906. In 1918, Thomas Owen conceived the idea of a new archives building on the block across from the Capitol as a "living memorial" to Alabamians who sacrificed their lives in service to the nation in World War I.
Although Thomas Owen's initial fund-raising efforts were not successful, Mrs. Owen was later able to secure funding for a new building through the Works Progress Administration of the New Deal. Since her effort was a resurrection of her husband's dream of a World War I memorial, the words "Alabama World War Memorial" are over the south entrance. At the time of its dedication in 1940, the new Alabama Archives building was one of the largest and most outstanding state history centers in the United States.
During the years after the new building was opened in 1940, some programs were separated administratively from the department, while other responsibilities were added. The Alabama Public Library Service (responsible for assisting local libraries) and the Alabama Historical Commission (responsible for marking and preserving historical sites) became separate state agencies. Records management responsibilities for both state and local governments were added to the department's mandate.
Unfortunately, in the years after the department moved into its new building, its status as a national leader among state history organizations waned. State funding did not keep up with the changes in the size of government, the increase in collections, constituent demands for services, or the growth rates of archival and museum programs in Alabama's sister states. Despite efforts of department staff through four decades, the department was unable to keep up with the responsibilities before it. By the late 1970s, Alabama's archives, museum, and records management programs were far behind those of other southeastern states.
Beginning about 1980, the governor and the legislature began to provide new funds for strengthening the department's programs. New staff members were hired, and the collections management and educational programs of the department were substantially strengthened. In the 1990s, however, budget cuts resulted in a substantial program and staff reduction. Services that have been especially affected include:
Some of these reductions are in programs and services the department has provided for almost a century. While financial resources have been decreasing, the state's records and artifacts that need to be preserved are increasing and also becoming more complex. Today's archivist has to deal with records in computers, on video and audio tape, and on numerous types of film--as well as increased quantities of more traditional materials.
Despite dwindling financial resources, the department is attempting to continue the following programs as priority services:
This web page is one example of that commitment.
Now in its second century of service, the Alabama Department of Archives and History is mindful of its obligation to preserve the records of its past and to serve the information needs of future generations of researchers.

A teenager has filed a police report against Billy Baldwin for what he believes was a credible threat against his life, according to a new report.
According to The Blast, 19-year-old Jacob Wohl filed a police report August 9 over a tweet Billy published that day that stated "Give this kid the beat down he deserves... #HitlerYouth."
Wohl told the blast he was particularly upset with the #HitlerYouth hashtag because he is Jewish.
The Blast reports the district attorney for Riverside County decided not to press charges, so the case was rejected and closed.
Baldwin had not yet responded to the allegation as of the time of this post.

Senior Care
"Identifying and educating seniors who may be at risk for falls is one of our agency's primary goals. The community's cooperative use of the Balance Engineering System to screen at risk seniors have helped us intervene and decrease falls in our community. This system has enabled us to work with our local hospital, home health care agencies and long term care facilities. In many cases we were able to identify seniors who needed additional physical therapy and/or adaptive equipment that helped them stay safe in their own homes. This system has proven 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

Sports Concussions
"My 15 year old stepson had 4 concussions in approx. 18 months. Each time he had a concussion the Dr. would clear him to return to play again but I thought it was too soon. I could tell by his slower reaction time and his balance that his brain was not back to normal. It wasn't until after his 4th concussion that I was introduced to Balanced Engineering's Equilibrate system and it totally changed my perspective on things. When the first test was completed I was shocked to see how "unbalanced" my stepson was and how low his scores were. I was truly convinced he should not have returned to play sports so soon. Over the next few months my stepson showed great improvement in his test scores and in how he was acting at home. As I saw him physically improve, the test scores showed his changes. If we had performed such a detailed, yet simple test earlier, there is no way I would have let him get back to sports when he did and thus receive additional concussions. I was grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Balance Engineering; I would recommend them, not just for helping with concussions, but any type of balance issues."

GPSolo Magazine - January February 2005
SCRA: For Those Who Go In Harm's Way
The week mercifully concluded with an invite from a colleague to join him at a local tavern. South Dakota barrister Windom looked forward to the libation with passion. On his way out the door, trouble rang. His loyal paralegal, Stella, reported a phone call from a woman whose will Windom had drafted some years before. Now she had a crisis on her hands and needed an attorney immediately. Torn between a Budweiser and a telephone call that surely would prove lengthy, Windom whispered to his loyal assistant, "Tell her I already left." Stella responded, "Boss, she says there are men with legal papers at her door demanding she accept them. They involve custody of her two grandchildren. Mr. Budweiser can wait. Take this now. Her name is Mrs. Gretchem." Windom sighed and grasped the telephone. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Gretchem, how can I help you?"
"Mr. Windom, I am standing here with my late husband's shotgun in my hands aimed at two men who say they have a court document transferring child custody from me to my daughter's ex-husband, who just happens to be the world's biggest drunk and spouse abuser. I am seconds from pulling the trigger on these two." Windom anxiously replied, "Let's not be hasty, Mrs. Gretchem. You have my undivided attention. Now tell me what is going on." She explained, "My daughter is a sergeant in the Air National Guard and her unit activated a month ago. She left her two babies with me along with a child care power of attorney and her Family Care Plan approved by the Army. After her divorce a year ago, she received custody of both children, but now these two loons say that her ex is the legal custodian and they have a court order to prove it."
Mrs. Gretchem paused, "Hold on a minute while I cut loose with one barrel to let them know no one is taking anyone anywhere." With adrenalin pumping through every corpuscle in his body, Windom screamed, "No, Mrs. G! Those may be law enforcement officers! Tell them that you are talking to your lawyer on the phone, and to place the court order on the porch and back off for a few minutes. Then pick it up and read it to me." While Mrs. Gretchem did as instructed, Windom shouted to Stella, "Find out how far it is to Mrs. G's farm, and get Sheriff Wycliff on the phone and tell him I need a flashing light escort out there yesterday!"
After listening for several minutes to Mrs. Gretchem's recitation of the legal doc- ument, lawyer Windom stated, "This is notice of a hearing on a petition to transfer child custody." Mrs. Gretchem retorted, "But my daughter is in Iraq. How is she going to appear or even hear of this? I have not heard from her since she left." Windom responded, "I am beginning to feel your desperation." "Hold on a minute Mr. Windom," Mrs. G replied, "our bloodhound Sherlock is dragging one of these fellas around the front yard and he may not last another furlong." "Mrs. G, I am on my way out there now," said Windom. "Tell everyone and Sherlock to stay calm, and we will work this out."
Because most civil actions involving servicemembers relate to domestic relations, mobilized and deployed members of the Guard and Reserve are vulnerable victims of temporary child custody and changes in child support and alimony. Creditor repossession and default actions also unfairly impact the absent servicemember. Deployed to Iraq, how will Sergeant Gretchem take losing custody of her children and termination of child support payments by her ex-husband? Will it affect her focus and ability to perform her duties while going in harm's way? How can she get away from her duties to return and testify against her ex-husband so that her mother can retain custody? How many others may be impacted as well? What can lawyer Windom do to represent the absent military client?
The purpose of this article is to summarize and explain the new Servicemembers Civil Relief Act of 2003 (SCRA), signed into law on December 19, 2003 (50 U.S.C. §§ 501-596). It is the successor to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act (SSCRA) originally enacted in 1918, reenacted in 1940, and amended numerous times. The basic premise of the SCRA is that servicemembers should not be placed at a disadvantage, either legally or financially, when called to active military service.
The new SCRA's protections continue to address, like its SSCRA predecessor, primarily legal rights and financial obligations. Furthermore, these SCRA protections apply only to civil actions, not criminal ones. While servicemembers are away on duty, disputes arise about the existence and extent of their liability or obligations, raising questions about members' ability to adequately protect their rights as citizens. Similar problems occur in financial situations. Servicemembers may admit the existence of a fixed obligation or liability but still seek relief under the SCRA because of the material impact military service has on their ability to meet this obligation or liability. Trial courts adjudicating such disputes are sometimes bound by a particular SCRA provision to presume "material affect," while other sections authorize a judge to determine whether a servicemember's ability to defend legal rights or meet financial obligations is affected by his or her military service. The new SCRA is a lengthy read. What follows is a brief synopsis of the salient provisions a general practitioner might like to know "before heading out to Mrs. Gretchem's farm."
When do SCRA protections begin? SCRA protections begin when a member enters military service. The term military service signifies federal service on active duty with any branch of service. Additionally, in the case of a member of the National Guard, it includes service under a call to active service authorized by the president or secretary of defense for a period of more than 30 consecutive days for purposes of responding to a national emergency declared by the president and supported by federal funds (e.g., airport security after September 11, 2001).
The term "court" as used in the SCRA includes any court of competent jurisdiction of the United States or of any state, regardless of whether it is a court of record, and any administrative agency. This often involves state administrative and child support hearings. Dependents, as used in the SCRA, are defined as the servicemember's spouse, child, or an individual for whom the servicemember provided more than one-half of the individual's support for 180 days immediately preceding an application for relief under the SCRA.
Dependents are entitled to various SCRA protections. First, dependents are entitled to protections noted within specific provisions. In addition, although dependents are not mentioned in all protections, nevertheless, "derivative protection" is obtained by virtue of property or accounts being titled in a servicemember's name with that of a spouse or other family member, or by simply being a dependent. Finally, Title III protections may be invoked by dependents of servicemembers regardless of whether the supporting servicemember is a party to the underlying obligation or liability. Title III benefits include protection from eviction, protection from installment contract termination, protection from mortgage foreclosure, and authority for early termination of leases. Courts have repeatedly found such derivative protection to exist based on the dependency or former dependency status of the family member to the servicemember.
The SCRA offers many protections; however, there is no SCRA protection for Reservists, National Guardsmen (with the one exception noted above), or retirees, as the SCRA's protections clearly apply only to those in active federal service. Furthermore, although most SCRA protections are no longer available when a servicemember leaves active duty, there are exceptions noted in specific sections that can extend the SCRA's protections up to six months.
Default Judgments
Perhaps one of the most pernicious actions that can affect a servicemember away from home is a default judgment. Unilateral action divesting property interests or domestic relations issues materially impacts servicemembers' morale and welfare when they are unable to represent their interests because of involuntary absence from home. For these and other practical reasons, Congress enacted procedural safeguards to protect the interests of those employed in the nation's most important business.
If there is a default in the appearance by the defendant, the plaintiff must file an affidavit before judgment can be taken in any state or federal court. This affidavit must state either that (1) the defendant is or is not in military service; or (2) that the plaintiff is unable to determine whether or not the defendant is in military service. The SCRA specifically states that a court will not enter a default judgment until the plaintiff meets the SCRA's requirements. Any judgment obtained without meeting this procedural requirement places it at risk of future attack. When a judgment is filed without rendering the requisite affidavit, courts have uniformly held that the judgment is not void ab initio, only voidable, meaning it is subject to being vacated at the request of the servicemember, but only upon proper showing that he or she has been prejudiced in making a defense by reason of military service and that a meritorious defense exists.
If the plaintiff does not file an affidavit indicating the defendant is not in military service, then the SCRA requires the court to appoint an attorney to represent the defendant and to protect the defendant's interests before entering a default judgment. While this offers some protection for the servicemember, admittedly failure to have your client present to assist in defense is a major burden for any court-appointed attorney. The SCRA provides that if a court-appointed attorney cannot locate the client servicemember, the attorney cannot waive any defense of the servicemember or otherwise bind the servicemember.
The SCRA also provides that if the defendant is in military service, upon application by counsel or on the court's own motion, the court shall grant a stay for a minimum period of 90 days if there may be a defense to the action and a defense cannot be presented without the defendant's presence, or if after due diligence counsel has been unable to locate the servicemember or determine if a meritorious defense exists.
Failure to appoint an attorney as required by this SCRA provision does not necessarily require reversal but does entitle the servicemember to reopen the judgment, provided the member can show (1) that military service materially affected the member's ability to defend his or her interest and (2) that a meritorious defense exists.
Stay of Proceedings
This is perhaps the most frequently used SCRA procedural protection to prevent civil actions that might result in default judgments because of the servicemember's inability to appear and represent his or her interest. The SCRA provides that a servicemember may request a stay in any proceeding during the period of military service and up to 60 days after its termination, at any stage of any action or proceeding in any court in which a servicemember is a defendant. Such a request will be granted upon application by the servicemember for not less than 90 days, provided the servicemember or his or her legal representative sends (1) a letter or other communication setting forth facts explaining that current military requirements materially affect the servicemember's ability to appear, and stating a date when the member can appear; and (2) a letter or other communication from the servicemember's commanding officer confirming that military duty requirements prevent the member's appearance and that no military leave is presently authorized. Additional stays may be requested following the same procedures, but such stays are discretionary by the court. Stay applications expressly shall not constitute an appearance for jurisdictional purposes and do not constitute a waiver of any substantive or procedural defense. Servicemembers assigned overseas or aboard a ship may have an easier showing in requests for additional stays than those whose military installations are in the United States.
Courts all have one thing in common. They desire to keep their dockets moving, and so they do not respond favorably to open-ended delay requests. However, when presented with official notice, status, and a factual basis why the servicemember cannot appear, courts have been indulgent and supportive of this protection. Furthermore, refusal to grant a requested stay of proceedings may be grounds for appeal.
Maximum 6 Percent Rate of Interest
One protection that virtually all servicemembers can utilize upon entering military service for the first time, or being activated as a Reservist for a period of 30 days or longer, is the ceiling placed on all interest-bearing obligations. Because most citizens incur some form of debt prior to entering onto active duty (e.g., auto loans, credit cards, mortgages, and credit union and bank loans), this is significant financial assistance for servicemembers who enter the armed forces each year. This protection does not apply, however, to any new debt incurred after entering onto active duty.
This provision provides that no obligation or liability-bearing interest at a rate in excess of 6 percent per year incurred prior to that person's entry into military service shall, during any part of the period of military service, bear interest at a rate in excess of 6 percent per year. This ceiling applies unless, in the opinion of the court, and upon application by the creditor, the ability of a person in military service to pay interest upon an obligation or liability at a rate in excess of 6 percent is not materially affected by reason of his or her service. As used in this section, the term "interest" includes service charges, renewal charges, fees, or any other charges (except bona fide insurance) with respect to the obligation or liability. The 2003 SCRA specifically states that the difference in interest between the cap and the original interest rate will be forgiven, not reamortized.
This protection sets out implementation requirements. The servicemember must request application of the interest cap from the creditor in writing. The member must also attach a copy of the orders calling the member to military service. The military orders state the statutory authority and period of time the servicemember is called to federal service. This allows the creditor to program its billing program for the period of time listed in the orders.
The SCRA's language clearly states that the 6 percent interest cap protection is automatic. The burden is on the creditor to file an action in a court seeking relief against application of this interest cap. The creditor meets this burden by demonstrating that the servicemember's military service does not materially affect his or her ability to pay at the previously agreed obligation rate in excess of 6 percent. Few creditors are willing to take on this burden in light of the fact that the U.S. Department of Justice has assumed responsibility for enforcing SCRA protections. The amount of interest in excess of 6 percent must be significant for a creditor to confront the Department of Justice and the extensive case law supporting broad interpretation and favorable disposition to servicemembers.
This protection prevents eviction of servicemembers and their dependents for nonpayment of rent without a court order. To be eligible for this protection, the rent must not exceed $2,465 per month (as of 2004), and the premises must be occupied as a dwelling, not for business purposes. The rent ceiling eligibility is based on a formula that will increase annually with inflation. While the term "eviction" is not defined in the SCRA, courts have routinely applied its common law meaning. A landlord can evict a servicemember and/or his or her family only after obtaining a court order. The burden is on the landlord to prove that the military member's service does not materially affect his or her ability or that of his or her dependents to pay the rent.
The protection further provides that the court may on its own motion, and shall on application, either stay the eviction proceedings for not longer than 90 days or "adjust the obligation under the lease to preserve the interests of all parties." This authority provides a court equitable discretion to fashion a solution according to the merits of the situation while bearing in mind the legislative intent to protect a military member's family from non-court-ordered and sometimes no-notice evictions for failure to pay rent on time. Furthermore, criminal sanctions may be imposed by fine under Title 18 U.S.C. or confinement for up to one year, or both, for taking part in an eviction in violation of this protection. Additionally, there is always the availability of a private cause of action.
Termination of Residential or Motor Vehicle Leases by Lessees
This protection applies to any lease covering residential, professional, business, agricultural, or similar purposes, and leases of motor vehicles, entered into by a servicemember or on his or her behalf prior to entry into military service. Leased premises must have been occupied for such purposes. Any lease of this nature entered into prior to military service may be terminated unilaterally by the servicemember.
In addition,the SCRA includes an entirely new protection authorizing a servicemember to terminate not only a pre-service dwelling, professional, business, agricultural, or similar lease, but also leases entered into while on active duty when the member subsequently receives orders for a permanent change of station, or a deployment for a period of 90 days. This protection also applies to automobiles leased for either personal or business purposes, or for use by the servicemember's dependents.
The lease termination must be in writing and delivered to the lessor or the lessor's agent at any time after the beginning of military service. After delivery of the termination notice, the military member is liable for up to one month's rent after the first date on which the next rental payment is due. In the case of a leased vehicle, responsibility for payment terminates upon delivery of the vehicle to the lessor.
Moving one's tent and family possessions is indigenous to military life. It is not uncommon for an enlisted servicemember or officer to experience upward of 25 household moves during a 20-year career. As a consequence, servicemembers live in many states and municipal jurisdictions where local authorities often seek to tax these itinerant uniformed public servants. Congress anticipated this dilemma. The SCRA provides that servicemembers neither lose nor acquire a new residence for purposes of taxation with respect to their person, personal property, or income by reason of being absent or present in any tax jurisdiction pursuant to military orders.
This protection creates an exception to the general rule that income may be taxed where it is earned as well as where the taxpayer is domiciled. Except for the state of domicile, no state can tax the compensation of the servicemember. Furthermore, local school systems may not charge nondomiciliary military personnel tuition for their children attending public schools. However, off-duty income earned by military personnel is not protected by this section and is subject to state and local taxation where earned.
Another tax issue addressed by SCRA concerns the joint filing of a servicemember with his or her civilian spouse. Previously, some states included the servicemember's military income when calculating the civilian spouse's total income—even though the servicemember's income is not taxed. The SCRA eliminated this problem by expressly prohibiting the use of a servicemember's military income in determining the tax of his or her civilian spouse.
There are many different classifications of property, some that are protected from taxation by the SCRA and some that are not. Although real property is not protected because it normally is taxed only by the state in which it is located, tangible nonbusiness personal property is a different matter; it is protected from local personal property tax, also known as ad valorem taxes. On the other hand, intangible nonbusiness personal property, including stocks, bonds, and bank deposits, has the legal situs of the servicemember's domicile. Furthermore, military personnel are not exempt from sales and use taxes, and the business property of a servicemember is not within the protective scope of the SCRA and therefore is subject to tax wherever it is located.
Professional Liability Insurance
One major change of special interest to mobilized reserve military lawyers is professional liability insurance. The new SCRA allows a servicemember with a pre-service professional liability insurance policy to suspend premiums and coverage during active military service. The protection requires suspension of all claims brought during the period of military service. It also mandates reinstatement of the insurance at the conclusion of military service at the premium rate that would have existed had the member not entered military service.
This article is not intended to be an exhaustive review of the new SCRA. On the contrary, general practitioners are urged to review more in-depth information in the statute and at www.abanet.org/legalservices/lamp/home.html, a website maintained by the ABA Standing Committee on Legal Assistance for Military Personnel.
And, finally, back to Mrs. Gretchem. Does the shotgun, Sherlock, or the SCRA provide the most assistance in resolving this child custody dispute?

Thruway Authority cuts more than 200 jobs
ALBANY – More than 200 state Thruway workers lost their jobs today after agency and union officials were unable to agree on money-saving concessions.
"Negotiations continued through the day and we have been negotiating in good faith," said Thruway Authority spokesman Dan Weiller.
But Civil Service Employees Association President Danny Donohue said state officials refused to budge in negotiations and called it "a sad commentary that Gov. Cuomo cares more about making a political point than he does about the well-being of these workers and their families, even at the expense of Thruway and canal operations."
Thruway officials could not provide a geographic or job title breakdown of the layoffs, which were first threatened in January, a month after the agency backed down in its plan for a $90 million toll hike on trucks.
Teamsters Local 72, based in Manhattan, represents the largest number of people losing their jobs, including maintenance workers and toll collectors. Officials with the union, which last month filed an improper-practice charge over the layoffs, did not return calls for comment. The Public Employees Federation also represents a small number of those losing their jobs.
In all, after all the seniority and bumping process that occurs with layoffs in a civil service system, 210 people worked their last day at the agency today. The agency has a total workforce of 3,000 employees, 92 percent of whom are union members.
The layoffs affect jobs at the agency that runs the mainline highway system through upstate, as well as the state's canal system, which the Thruway Authority operates and funds. All of the people who lost their jobs were union members.
Officials say the layoffs will save $20 million in annual payroll costs. In January, officials said 60 different job titles would be affected. The original plan called for 234 layoffs; that number was reduced slightly, in large part by targeted workers taking retirement.
CSEA officials have blasted the layoffs because they have come at a time when the union and the authority have been unable to reach a new collective bargaining agreement.

WhirleyBall Atlanta
Roswell, GA 30076
WhirlyBall, dubbed "The world's only totally mechanized team sport", is best described as a combination of Basketball, Hockey and Jai-Alai played while riding an electrically powered machine, similar to a bumper car, called a WhirlyBug. Although the WhirlyBug resembles a bumper car, it is a far superior machine. Quicker, stronger and far more maneuverable, the WhirlyBug powers you and your team down court in a five on five game.
WhirlyBall is a team sport and a fun group activity. The playing court is approximately 4,000 sq. ft. and there are 10 WhirlyBugs on the playing court at one time, five red and five yellow. In one hand the player has a Jai-Alai style plastic scoop and in the other hand a steering crank. The ball being tossed around is a softball sized whiffle ball.
At each end of the court there are vertically hung backboards with a 15 inch hole in the center. Behind the hole is a plexiglass swing gate equipped with a buzzer to notify the referee when a score is made. The referee is the person sitting in the elevated booth above the court who will call play by play during the game, keep score and assess any penalties incurred.
Before you go out on the court, the referee will go over the rules and give you a brief rundown on how to play WhirlyBall. Participating center rules and safety requirements may vary.

FLEMINGTON, N.J. - May 6, 2013 --Police are searching for five men suspected of robbing a New Jersey jewelry store at gunpoint and fleeing in two cars with Pennsylvania license plates.
The Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office says the suspects stormed into Roman Jewelers in Flemington Sunday and ordered customers to get on the floor while they bound some employees.
Authorities say the men wore hoodies or construction helmets in a bid to obscure their identities. One construction helmet was orange and another had a Philadelphia Eagles logo on it.
Authorities say the men grabbed jewelry and drove off in what' believed to be a white Chrysler and a black Audi or BMW.
No shots were fired.

Free Bob Marley!
He's been hijacked by stoned suburban teenagers.
Bob Marley's greatest-hits album, Legend, came out in 1984, three years after his death, at 36, of a cancer that spread from his big toe. It's one of the best-selling albums of all time, in the company of Michael Jackson's Thriller and Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A. During his lifetime, Marley's following outside Jamaica was mostly cultish and underground until his last years, when he acquired a modest international stardom. But Marley didn't really become a mainstream fixture—a singer instantly recognizable to anyone who's lingered over a fajita at Chili's or wandered through a freshman quad in the springtime—until after his death, and after Legend. Greatest-hits collections are notoriously bad showcases, but Legend was a doozy—a defanged and overproduced selection of Marley's music. Listening to Legend to understand Marley is like reading Bridget Jones's Diary to get Jane Austen.
Marley has had an astonishingly successful commercial afterlife—the booming sales of his catalog virtually created the world-beat music category, paving the way for countless Buena Vista Social Clubs and Gipsy Kings—but his artistic reputation may never recover from it. His musical legacy has been hijacked and simplified by his cheesier fans (all those trustafarians toking in his memory). In turn, the music cognoscenti and hipsters seem to hold his mainstream appeal and lame followers against him. The fact that Marley is known by his weaker recordings like Legend or Exodus (which Time magazine—bizarrely to anyone familiar with the Marley canon—named "album of the century") doesn't help his cause.
Bob Marley's golden period was the three albums he cut with the original Wailers and the brilliant, certifiably insane, Jamaican producer Lee "Scratch" Perry: Soul Rebels, African Herbsman, and Rasta Revolution. These records are more satisfyingly complex, both lyrically and instrumentally, than much of Marley's later work. The Perry recordings are steeped in R & B and soul harmonies, but also tough. (Marley's earliest British fans were punk rockers.) The albums' layered rhythms—trancelike and jolting, like reggae by gunfighters—anticipated dub music and later stars like King Tubby and Augustus Pablo. When the English producer Chris Blackwell took over in 1973, intent on making Marley a star, the music, despite a couple of great albums, notably Catch a Fire! and Natty Dread, became steadily more mellow and digestible. (To hear the difference, listen to "Mr. Brown from 1970 and "Natural Mystic" from 1977.)
Perhaps Marley can't be taken seriously in a self-conscious age—unlike Dylan, or even Lennon, Marley didn't cloak himself in protective irony—but that risks overlooking how sly the man was. (Once, when asked how he handled fame, Marley responded, "I handle fame by not being famous … I'm not famous to me.") Since Marley would have been 61 this month, it's a fitting time to ask: Can Marley's legacy emancipate itself from an American following that wants a multiculti teddy bear?
Rachel Saurer, in a smart piece on the 20th anniversary of Legend, sketched out the loose set of values that Marley has come to embody: "In the realm of musical-taste-as-statement-of-personal-identity, Legend says this: I generally care about world events. I favor cotton clothing. I think stress is bad. I want to stop injustice. I'm all for love. I wouldn't say no to the herb, if you get my drift."
But if Marley's fans are cheesy and annoying, at least in this country, so are Pablo Neruda's, and no one holds that against him. How can we grudge Bob the feel-good party boys and mountain-biking philosophy majors who cling to his memory?
After all, Marley is an international star with a strong following in the Third World, especially in Africa. There, Marley fandom has a different dimension. Say you're a middle-class American white kid. It's spring term freshman year, and you've just discovered pot, Bob Marley, and ultimate frisbee. You really want to drop that organic chemistry course, but you know your parents will be pissed. In such a scenario, Bob Marley's songs, with lines like "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery" and "No chains are on my feet/ but I am not free," seem to be talking to you in a way that's deeply profound. Sure, that's laughable. But let's take a different scenario altogether. What if you're black? Or from the Third World? Then the lyrics take on a lot more historical force and contemporary urgency.
The problem with Bob Marley in white America is one of perspective. Many of Marley's songs are about resistance and violent revolution. The threat implicit in the lines "Them belly full but we hungry/ A hungry mob is an angry mob" or the song "Burnin' and Lootin' " isn't too far from the surface. But lyrics about armed resistance make America's secular-progressive middle classes—those most responsible for the cult of Marley as a cuddly "One Love" Rastafarian—uneasy. And so does Bible-beating. Marley's music is steeped in the Old Testament, especially the Song of Solomon. Marley sings in "Small Axe":
Why boasteth thyself, O evil men;
Playing smart and not being clever?
I said, you're working iniquity
To achieve vanity …
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it; bury in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it; bury in it.
Here, he's plundering from at least four books of the Bible: Psalms 52:1 and 94:4; Proverbs22:8; Isaiah59:4; and Jeremiah2:5.
Often in Marley, militancy and religion are fused in a way that wouldn't please, say, Pat Robertson. Sometimes, the fusing is literal, as in this line of wordplay on "revolution" and "revelation": "Revelation, reveals the truth, revelation/ It takes a revolution to make a solution." Other times, the relationship between religion and resistance is more ambivalent, and menacing: "Cause I feel like bombing a church/ Now that you know that the preacher is lying."
Bob Marley crossed over because he wanted to be heard.But even when he sounded a peaceful note, there was an edge in his voice. He once told a reporter, "There should be no war between black and white. But until white people listen to black with open ears, there must be—well, suspicion!" As it turns out, Marley had every reason to be suspicious about how he'd be listened to. One love, mon.

Sculpture is three-dimensional artwork created by shaping hard or plastic material, commonly stone (either rock or marble), metal, or wood. Some sculptures are created directly by carving; others are assembled, built up and fired, welded, molded, or cast. A person who creates sculptures is called a sculptor.Because sculpture involves the use of materials that can be moulded or modulated, it is considered one of the plastic arts. The majority of public art is sculpture. Many sculptures together in a garden setting may be referred to as a sculpture garden. (Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculpture)

What is Sever's disease?
Sever's disease occurs in children when the growth plate (which is the growing part of the heel) is injured. The foot is one of the first body parts to grow to full size. This usually occurs in early puberty. During this time, bones often grow faster than muscles and tendons. As a result, muscles and tendons become tight. The heel area is less flexible. During weight-bearing activity (activity performed while standing), the tight heel tendons may put too much pressure at the back of the heel (where the Achilles tendon attaches). This can injure the heel and cause Sever's disease.
When is my child most at risk for Sever's disease?
Your child is most at risk for this condition when he or she is in the early part of the growth spurt in early puberty. Sever's disease is most common in physically active girls 8 years to 10 years of age and in physically active boys 10 years to 12 years of age. Soccer players and gymnasts often get Sever's disease, but children who do any running or jumping activity may also be at an increased risk. Sever's disease rarely occurs in older teenagers because the back of the heel has typically finished growing by 15 years of age.
How do I know if my child's heel pain is caused by Sever's disease?
In Sever's disease, heel pain can be in one or both heels. It usually starts after a child begins a new sports season or a new sport. Your child may walk with a limp. The pain may increase when he or she runs or jumps. He or she may have a tendency to tiptoe. Your child's heel may hurt if you squeeze both sides toward the very back. This is called the squeeze test. Your doctor may also find that your child's heel tendons have become tight.
Can Sever's disease be prevented?
Sever's disease may be prevented by maintaining good flexibility while your child is growing. The stretching exercises pictured in the treatment section can lower your child's risk for injuries during the growth spurt. Talk with your doctor for more advice. Good-quality shoes with firm support and a shock-absorbent sole will help. Your child should avoid excessive running on hard surfaces.
If your child has already recovered from Sever's disease, stretching and putting ice on the heel after activity will help keep your child from developing this condition again.
How is Sever's disease treated?
First, your child should cut down or stop any activity that causes heel pain. Apply ice to the injured heel for 20 minutes 3 times a day. If your child has a high arch, flat feet or bowed legs, your doctor may recommend orthotics, arch supports or heel cups. Your child should never go barefoot.
If your child has severe heel pain, medicines such as acetaminophen (one brand name: Tylenol) or ibuprofen (some brand names: Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) may help.
Will stretching exercises help?
Yes, stretching exercises can help. It is important that your child performs exercises to stretch the hamstring and calf muscles, and the tendons on the back of the leg. The child should do these stretches 2 or 3 times a day. Each stretch should be held for about 20 seconds. Both legs should be stretched, even if the pain is only in 1 heel.
Your child also needs to do exercises to strengthen the muscles on the front of the shin. To do this, your child should sit on the floor, keeping his or her hurt leg straight. One end of a bungee cord or piece of rubber tubing is hooked around a table leg. The other end is hitched around the child's toes. The child then scoots back just far enough to stretch the cord. Next, the child slowly bends the foot toward his or her body. When the child cannot bend the foot any closer, he or she slowly points the foot in the opposite direction (toward the table). This exercise (15 repetitions of "foot curling") should be done about 3 times. The child should do this exercise routine a few times daily.
When can my child play sports again?
With proper care, your child should feel better within 2 weeks to 2 months. Your child can start playing sports again only when the heel pain is gone. Your doctor will let you know when physical activity is safe.
Are there any problems linked with Sever's disease?
No long-term problems have been linked with Sever's disease. However, call your doctor if your child's heel pain does not get better with treatment, gets worse or if you notice changes in skin color or swelling.
- What could have caused my child's symptoms?
- What is the best treatment option for my child?
- How long before my child can expect relief from his/her symptoms?
- When can my child return to his/her sport/activity?
- Is it possible that my child's symptoms could return?
- Is it safe for my child to exercise? What kind of exercise should he/she do?
