Ending is near
Fight fire with fire

morbid start to my blog. im sorry. that song was in my head at the time that i opened up the window. old metallica ftw. what metalhead can say they dont like at least the old metallica stuff? me on the other hand ive liked just bout everything they have done. im open to all types of music like that. i say that as a sheena easton song pops on my playlist. hey i cant help it, morning train was a catchy tune!
and how is nick? nick isnt too bad. wow is this the same nick who in some of his blogs talked bout depression and negative this and negative that. yes folks, may be hard to believe but im that same nick. im not going to say everything is 100% perfect cause who the hell is ever 100% perfect all the time anyways? and if they are i have to call bullshit. i dont think its humanly possible. ok i rambled...like i do and got off track. nick is doing ok. i still have various little health issues but i guess if i can remain stress free as much as i can i feel ok.
got a haircut yesterday. it looks good. and thank god for someone who knows how to listen and do exactly what i wanted. i dread getting my haircut cause they never do it the way i want it done and this lady got it right. finally. thank you god for putting a woman on this planet who listens to me! yeah i had to put in a woman bashing comment, it wouldnt be me if i didnt. many people know im just joking when i do, or do they?
job hunting. i really dont see why i should have a problem getting into a grocery store if i really put forth an effort. granted a grocery store job isnt something to like i dunno go ape shit over but its respectable work. i like it. as much as i bitched about publix and sentry i enjoyed working in grocery stores. with all my experience im sure someone is bound to pick me up. of course experience could work against me. thinking that cause of my experience i should get paid more. well its true, i should but really i dont give a shit. i want to get my foot in the door somewhere and start over.
facebook. u know at the beginning of the year i said it was gay. now i am hooked. there are cool little games to play on there but for the most part its because ive been able to reconnect with old friends and people who sorta just disappeared out of my life. i really like it. ive done alot of reconnecting with old friends. and even if i dont talk to all the people who i add to facebook at least i can keep tabs on what is going on in their lifes...something i didnt do before.
speaking of old friends. i may be getting together soon with an old friend of mine from grade school...tommy. its been like 16 years since i last seen him. very long time. we were pretty descent friends in grade school. we went to different middle schools and then at first we were in the same high school but because i didnt want to go to bay view i transfered out to tech. the last time i saw him was at bay view. kinda funny how so much time can pass and then you get a chance to reconnect with someone.
so i had a very weird dream. it started off as a nightmare. if u refer back to my blog "all nightmare long" i talked about some dreams i had reoccuring and whatnot. well this one was one of those freddy krueger dreams. after all these years that son of a bitch can still manage to freak me out. i think it really sucks cause i like his movies. i think he is hilarious. anyways i dont remember much of what happened in the dream i know that somehow i got freddys glove and i assisted him in killing someone. not on purpose, it was like i had no control over it. that wasnt the weird part of the dream. next thing i know im in a limo, i believe it was a limo. i had this chick on top of me. yes we were having sex. but this chick wasnt really human. she was an alien. she was green too. which i guess makes sense in a way since green is my favorite color next to black. she sorta resembled one of the twileks from star wars. dont even say it ananda! i know what u are thinking and yes when i played swg i had a thing for twileks. i couldnt help it! anyways so yeah i was in a limo with this alien chick and we were having sex. you know for being an alien though she was kinda hot. yeah as you all can tell now i havent had sex in a long time, but we wont get into that.
cant really think of what else to write about now. well there are a few things but ill save them for later times.

Once again I'm pleased to say that I designed and produced the cover image. This second collection consists of 60 pieces, some are single and short, whilst others are long and yet others are in serial form. I've used some based on insight, others on events in my own life and others on fantasy.
No, sadly dear reader, I am not about to enlighten with regard to which are based on my own experience.
What could attract you to read romantic poetry?
Here are some titles from the collection:
'A Knight To Remember', 'A Taste of Submission - Parts 1 and 2', 'Being Gay ... and Happy', 'Friends or Lovers?', 'Going All The Way', 'Mutual Satisfaction', and of course there's also 'Sex Slave - Parts 1 and 2'.
Now be honest - isn't there something in there that begs you to read poetry.
I can't send my books to you in a plain brown wrapper, but then who needs one when you can download in secret. Enjoy!

Have you experienced an auto accident? An auto accident might have caused damage to your car and injuries on your body. It might be a difficult time for you to carry on with certain activities of daily living. After such an accident, it can hard to define who was right and who was at fault.
Direct settlement and minimum support from the other party or insurance company might affect you badly in getting compensation.. In fact, auto accident law firms are suitable for your case, so you can make it easy on yourself by getting support from our law firm Turchin law in los Angeles
.Our lawyers need proper documents of your accident such as medical bills and auto repair bills from your accident. You must collect information from the accident by taking photos and talking with eyewitnesses. Without proof, winning your case will be much harder.
Turchin firm auto accident lawyers specialize in specific cases. Once you retain a lawyer for your case, then you don't need to stay involved in each meeting with the insurance company. If it goes to court, it might be difficult for you to prove that you were innocent in accident. That's why you need an Los Angeles auto accident attorney to help fight your case.

Justin Bieber Roast: Snoop Dogg, Ludacris & More Set To Diss Biebs
The countdown to the Justin Bieber roast is on, and fans are starting to really lose their minds. Some details are still being kept quiet, but a new crop of roasters have just been announced and they are ridiculous!
As if we weren't excited enough already for the Justin Bieber roast! The sure-to-be hilarious event, which will air on Comedy Central on Mar. 30, has just added Snoop Dogg, Ludacris and Shaquille O'neal to the list of those who will hit Biebs with their best burn– and that's not even all of 'em!
Justin Bieber Roast Lineup
Is it Mar. 30 yet?
Just days after a hilarious promo in which Justin's Calvin Klein ads were mocked by comedian Jeff Ross was released, some of the comedians (and non comedians!) who will be zinging Justin have been announced and the list is bonkers.
Along with Snoop, Ludacris, and Shaq, comedians Hannibal Buress and Kevin Hart will be on hand, as well as funny lady Natasha Leggero. As Natasha's former Chelsea Lately boss Chelsea Handler would say, what…a lineup.
Justin's Dream Roaster
The talent roster for JB's big roast is already stacked with hilarious A listers. However, one funny dude is nowhere to be found, and poor Justin is so upset about it!
Justin went on an all out Twitter campaign on Mar. 2 to get the hilarious Seth Rogen to sign on for his roast. Justin Tweeted various pleas to the writer and actor, including, "@Sethrogen I'm still your biggest fan. Even after "the interview." That's dedication. Roast me! Sincerely yours..the piece of shit..justin;)"
So, did the begging work? Well, as of now, nope! Seth has yet to even acknowledge Justin's pleas, but hey, we've still got a little time until the roast. You never know who may come out of the woodwork at the last minute!
What do you think of the lineup so far? Would you want to see Seth take on Justin?

Hemlock's audience with the PCs is the kick-off point for The Skinsaw Murders. He exposes them to the first new threads of the story in the form of the recent killings that have taken place in the environs of Sandpoint. This should immediately set the PCs about the task of pinning down the culprit, which will first involve an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the murders. When they decide to begin poking around, assign them the major quest provided below and then move on to the skill challenge.

Looks like Misgivings is the best place to drop most of the treasure on the PCs. I figure some of the loot could be a "gift" from some of the saved farmers.
I really like the bit with the scarecrows.
Here's my take on Ghoul Fever (This looks much prettier formatted in word)
Ghoul Fever
Level 5 Disease
Victims Exposed to Attacks from suffer from aching fever and haunted visions. Those who succumb rise as ghouls the night after death.
Attack +10 Will
Endurance Improve DC 21, Maintain DC 19, Worsen DC 18 or lower
The Target is Cured
Initial effect: The target is weakened
The target is dazed and weakened
Final State: Death and rises as a ghoul

A.M. Best has revised the outlooks to positive from stable and
affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B+ (Good) and the Long-Term
Issuer Credit Rating of "bbb-" of Hanover Fire & Casualty Insurance
Company (HFCIC) (King of Prussia, PA).
These Credit Ratings (ratings) reflect HFCIC's balance sheet strength
and operating performance, which A.M. Best categorizes as adequate,
limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.
The revised outlooks reflect the positive improvement in underwriting
results in four of the past five years, supplemented by a steady stream
of net investment and fee income that resulted in positive five-year
operating results. The ratings also reflect the company's improved
risk-adjusted capitalization as reflected in surplus growth in each of
the past five years and increased scope of operations as reflected in
the net written premium growth from business in Indiana, its second
leading state. Although currently assessed as adequate, A.M. Best's
expects sustained improvement in HFCIC's balance sheet strength.
Partially offsetting these positive rating factors is the company's
limited business profile. With a majority of its business produced in
Pennsylvania, the company is exposed to weather-related losses, as well
as judicial, regulatory and economc concerns.
This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published
on A.M. Best's website. For all rating information relating to the
release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office
responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in
this release, please see A.M. Best's Recent
Rating Activity web page. For additional information

97.9 ESPN in Hartford, CT will soon be under the watchful eye of a brand new Program Director after current PD Dave Zaslowsky announced via his Facebook page (see below) his intentions to head home to Chicago and join 89 WLS.
Zaslowsky who previously spent time programming for the ESPN Radio Network, had Programmed the radio station for the past 4-years and had done an excellent job. Among his biggest accomplishments was landing Rob Dibble to host afternoons. No word yet on who his replacement will be. His first day back home in Chicago will be July 1st.
I moved to Connecticut in 1991 and worked at the great KC101, then it was off to Q105 before getting the job any sports fan would love….working at The World Wide Leader in Sports ESPN! The last 4 years I have enjoyed helping build 97-9 ESPN to the success it now has. The time has come for Sue and I to move on and I have accepted a position at 89 WLS in Chicago! I begin my new journey July 1st. Sue and I will miss our friends here but we can't wait to get home.

Question about Office Equipment & Supplies
Any idea's
Posted by stuartcowie on
My c4485 Photosmart HP printer says it is out of paper when it is not. I can't use it now.
SOURCE: I have freestanding Series 8 dishwasher. Lately during the filling cycle water hammer is occurring. How can this be resolved
Hi there,
Save hours of searching online or wasting money on unnecessary repairs by talking to a 6YA Expert who can help you resolve this issue over the phone in a minute or two.
Best thing about this new service is that you are never placed on hold and get to talk to real repairmen in the US.
Here's a link to this great service
Good luck!

SOURCE: Paper Jam Error on HP 2015
For whatever reason the printer internal programming became corrupt showing that there is a paper jam. After checking the paper path and a quick can of air sprayed into the tracks, I proceeded to attempt a Cold Reset.
1) Remove the paper tray.
2) Remove toner cartridge.
3) Unplug USB.
3) While plugged in to power, turn off the printer, hold down the 'GO' button and power it back on. Continue to hold for more than 5 seconds but less than 15.
4) Reinstall the tray (be sure to check the paper level indicator is operating when you add paper to the tray. The lever should move up as it fills with paper)
Reconnect the USB cable (make sure you are using a thick USB cable and not a cheap thin one, very important. Make sure the printer is not plugged into a backup batter either) Never plug a printer into backup power.
I noticed that the computer did not recognize the device when connected which prompted me to contact HP support.
HP Support is shipping out Item # CE517AB - Font/DIMM Program for me to install in the printer to most likely reinstall the firmware.
I will post back if this works to flash the firmware or just waste some time.

SOURCE: Paper jam on HP officejet 6500
Try This :
Connect the printer directly to the wall outlet ; not through any Power strip
Then Unplug the Power cable from the back of the printer
Keep on tapping the power cable for next 30 seconds
Plug in back the power cable;
Open the rear access door and you will get to see some rollers
Clean the rollers with a Lint free cloth Moistened with some distilled water
Try to do a copy if still it doesn works
Then Unplug the Power cable from the back of the printer
With one hand press and hold down the (#) and the (6) button and with the other hand plug in back the power cable ; it will do a Semifull reset on the printer; This will take some time ; Follow the instruction on the screen;
If still it doesn't work then you need to contact HP ;
The toll free no. for HP would be : 1-800-474-6836
They will replace the printer for you free of cost (No Charge if the printer is in warranty i.e within 1 yr of purchase)
Still you may check the link below for further issues:

What is your management schedule?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Dairygoats : One Thread
I have had one grade milk goat for a few years now. I have dam raised and taking care of my goats fairly well.
Now I am thinking of upgrading, going to more expensive goats.
I am interested in learning what type of management schedule and techniques (shots, prevention techniques, worming, CAE prevention, etc) you use for managing your goat or goats.
I like to be organized and I have a yearly month by month schedule that I use for the rest of my animals, so am going to make something similar for the goats, so I always know what is coming up that needs to be done.
What do you do?
Thank you in advance.

#19 Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton — Fatal 4-Way WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match (WWE Payback)
For a match that had to juggle intra-Authority squabbling, personal rivalries reaching their, ahem, "Apex," and the first official instance of The Shield against itself, it kept each ball in the air with a mix of intrigue (will Kane screw Seth over?), surprises (Dean vs. Roman!) and, ultimately, satisfaction (Seth retains!). Plus, we got a Shield mini-reunion, if only to Triple Powerbomb Orton through a table. Was it a tease for their eventual reformation way, way down the line? Hard to fathom. But for one night, we all believed again.

Posted in Press Releases on 04 February 2013
Having recently announced details of his debut EP 'Health', which is set for release on 11th March via the independent Talking Shop Records, Farewell JR has announced he will join Maps & Atlases on their UK tour throughout February and March. Starting in Southampton, Farewell JR will play 9 dates with Maps & Atlases before his one-off headline show at London's St Pancras Old Church on 21st March.
What initially started out as a solo project for Farewell JR front man Nick Rayner on his return to Cambridge, for what he regarded as some 'much needed time to be alone', has since grown to something much greater. Hunkered down in Cambridge, Rayner wrote, recorded, and mixed a series of stripped back songs that have come to form the basis of the 'Health' EP. He then travelled to Ireland, where, with assistant engineer Edan Ray, he recorded the stirring drums, whilst the soaring violins that characterise this EP were being recorded on the other side of the world, in Australia.
The resulting record is a collection of emotive songs that grow from sparse guitar picked melodies that recall early days Bon Iver, through to grand melodies and orchestral arrangements more reminiscent of Arcade Fire.
Farewell JR live line up: Nick Rayner (guitar/piano/vocals), Sam McNicholl (drums/percussion), Josh Sampson (drums/percussion) and Sonny Sampson (bass).
Farewell JR live:
27 Feb - Joiners, Southampton w/ Maps and Atlases
28 Feb - Hare & Hounds, Birmingham w/ Maps and Atlases
2 Mar - Art School, Glasgow w/ Maps and Atlases
3 Mar - Ruby Lounge, Manchester w/ Maps and Atlases
4 Mar - Brudenell Social, Leeds w/ Maps and Atlases
6 Mar - Dingwalls, London w/ Maps and Atlases
7 Mar - Green Door Store, Brighton w/ Maps and Atlases
8 Mar - Lousiana, Bristol w/ Maps and Atlases
9 Mar - Marlowe Theatre Studio, Canterbury w/ Maps and Atlases
21 Mar - St Pancras Old Church, London, headline show

Development of WHO Environmental noise guidelines for the European Region
WHO/Europe is currently in the process of developing the WHO Environmental Noise Guidelines for the European Region as a regional update to the WHO Community Noise Guidelines. The Guidelines will include a review of evidence on the health effects of environmental noise to incorporate significant research carried out in the last years. The health outcomes for which the evidence will be systematically reviewed include: sleep disturbance, annoyance, cognitive impairment, mental health and wellbeing, cardiovascular diseases, hearing impairment and tinnitus and adverse birth outcomes.
The guidelines will assess several environmental noise sources such as aircraft, rail, road, wind turbines and personal electronic devices. The document will also consider specific settings such as residences, hospitals, educational settings and public venues. In addition, the guidelines will review the evidence on health benefits from noise mitigation and interventions to decrease noise levels.
The process of developing the guidelines is complex, involving the work of top scientists from across the world under the coordination of WHO. The guidelines will focus on the WHO European Region and provide guidance to its Member States that is compatible with the noise indicators used in the European Union (EU) Directive on Environmental Noise.
The 2002 EU Directive introduced annual average indicators of noise exposure (Lden and Lnight) as long-term exposure indicators, which differ from those used in the earlier WHO Guidelines for Community Noise of 1999.

In their quest for lifetime income that can outpace inflation, baby boomers and seniors are being pitched two alphabet-soup variable annuity guarantees: GMWBs for life and GMIBs.
These stand for guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit and guaranteed minimum income benefit. They are part of an ever-evolving breed of "living benefits" tacked onto variable annuities, which are tax-deferred, mutual fund-like investments within an insurance wrapper.
The benefits, for which you pay a continuing additional fee, guarantee that you, or you and a beneficiary, will receive a minimum lifetime income regardless of how your annuity investments fare.

Gwyneth Paltrow will appear on Coldplay's new album, singing alongside her ex-husband Chris Martin.
The actress is credited as a guest singer on A Head Full of Dreams after recording backing vocals on the track Everglow.
It's not the first time the Oscar winner has showed off her vocal skills on record - she had a hit with Huey Lewis thanks to their duet in the 2000 film Duets, she performed on the soundtrack for Country Strong and belted out a rendition of Fleetwood Mac's Landslide on a Glee soundtrack.

EasySaver Rewards - Bought flowers on pro flowers. Was signed up for "easy saver " membership and they charged my credit card $14.95 every month for five years. I just discovered it.
I have been charged $14.95 since 2009. Didn't notice charge on statement until today.
I missed the timing to participate in class action law suit that was settled in 2013. Pro flowers acted like they didn't know anything about it and said they have severed ties with easy savers, I'm screwed! Don't buy proflowers or sherries berries. I contacted chase and they can't do anything because I didn't report it on a timely basis.
This is a horrible scam. I never got any communication from this company after I allegedly signed up for my membership so it flew under my radar for moe than four plus years.
Monetary Loss: $1000.
Great Comment! Would You Like to Convert It Into Review?You will be able to edit the text before publishing.
Terms of Service
Like many others on this site, I ordered Proflowers a few years ago and unwittingly signed up for Easy Saver. I should have reviewed my credit card statements much earlier, but last month I finally noticed the $14.95 charge hitting my credit card.
When I performed a Google search, that's when I finally noticed the monthly charge.
I don't know how I managed to enroll in this scam, but I will never order Proflowers again! That company should refund me for years worth of charges!

When it comes to pick-up trucks, there are very few which can actually compete with Dodge Ram. Manufactured by the Fiat Chrysler Automobile group, the dodge ram is undoubtedly one of the most popular Pick-up trucks on the global scale. The Dodge Ram is actually successor of Dodge D series. Its popularity is because of high-end performance and power, along with a fine mix of elegant design.
It has been in market since 1981 and has developed a lot over the past three decades. Currently it's in its fourth generation of production which started from 2009. It will come out as a full size pick-up truck with front engine. Both rear wheel drive and four-wheel drive options will be there. There are huge expectations surrounding 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 in the market. Chrysler will look to re-establish their strong grip on the market with release of the 2017 version.
2017 Dodge Ram 1500 Engine and Performance
When it comes to performance, there are few trucks which would come even close to 2017 Dodge Ram 1500. With the Chrysler groups SRT Hellcat engine (similar to Charger and Challenger), it would be a monster in terms of performance. The 6.2L V8 diesel engine will produce 707 horsepower and nearly 650 lb-ft of torque. It would be able to go from 0 to 60 under approximately 4.2 seconds. 2017 version of Ram 1500 would come with an 8-speed automatic transmission system. Both manual and automatic transmission system would be provided.
2017 Dodge Ram 1500 Exterior and Interior
2017 Dodge Ram 1500 will be sporty and aggressive on the exterior with a bulky and muscular feel to it. Unlike its predecessors which were primarily large and imposing, 2017 version will have a sleek sporty look about it. The scooped hood with multiple air vents will be a nice addition to the vehicle.
On the front one will see a mesh like grille structure with a cross shape metallic strips which would also consist of the company logo. Rear section of 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 will also be a bit modified with new tail lights and rear bumper. According to reports there would be two options for wheels would be there. First would be a seven spoke 22 inch alloy wheel where there would also be a 24 inch option. More details regarding exterior design would be soon released.
On the interior 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 is quite large and spacious. Design could be considered simple and elegant without the use of much vibrant colours. Instrument cluster with SRT on it will have a sleek attractive look which would be complemented by the LCD display screen on centre. You will most probably see a flat bottomed steering wheel with leather or Alcantara coverings. Accessories and entertainment system would go on improving as you go for higher trim levels with improved surround sound system and the Driver's user interface.
2017 Dodge Ram 1500 Price and Release Date
Though final price has not been confirmed as of yet. Base price can be assumed to be something around $55,000. More details would be released soon.

North East Essex CCG are trying to shut down the Minor Injuries Unit which is situated at Clacton Hospital. This would mean that patients wanting to see a doctor, or needing urgent medical care, would have to travel to Colchester.
Clacton's population is increasing and health services in the town are already suffering. GPs surgeries are not able to cope with their workload now, it is unthinkable that we may now lose the valuable service that our Minor Injuries Unit provides.
This area has a large elderly population along with a large percentage of vulnerable people with mental health issues. It is not acceptable that elderly and vulnerable people have to travel to Colchester.
Many people do not have their own transport and would not be able to afford to take public transport to Colchester to see a doctor.

Previously known as Penicilliumnotatum, Penicillium chrysogenum is a widely studied species of Penicillium that is most famous for being a source of penicillin and antibiotics. P. chrysogenum can most often be found in indoor environments, particularly in those with high humidity, dampness, or previous water damage.
In appearance, P. chrysogenum is blue-green in colour with a yellow pigment at times. However, identifying P. chrysogenum based on colour alone is not possible.
P. chrysogenum is well-known as both an allergen and pathogen, although it has rarely been reported as a cause of human disease. Symptoms include pulmonary infection, pneumonia, localized granulomas, fungus balls, and systemic infection. However, it is difficult to make a proper diagnosis given that these symptoms are so common.
For professional mold testing of P. chrysogenum and other types of mold, contact Mold Busters. We offer comprehensive mold testing services that include surface sampling (tape/swab/bulk) and air sampling (viable/non-viable).

Bill Werde named Bandier Program director
By Wendy S. LoughlinAugust 15, 2017
Award-winning media professional Bill Werde has been named director of the Bandier Program for Music Business and the Entertainment Industries at Syracuse University. The program, established in 2006 and made possible through a generous gift from music industry executive Martin Bandier '62, is part of SU's Newhouse School.
Martin Bandier, the program's founder, is a Syracuse University alumnus and chairman and CEO of Sony/ATV Music Publishing. "I've known Bill personally for a number of years and he has a knowledge and understanding of the music industry that is second to none," Bandier says. "I cannot think of a better person to succeed the program's excellent first director, David Rezak. Bill joins at an incredibly exciting time for the program as it moves to the Newhouse School, and I know with his appointment that it will grow in stature, and its future is in extremely capable hands."
Assistant director Lisa Steele will continue to lead Bandier Program efforts alongside Werde. Assistant professor Ulf Oesterle will also remain with the program, teaching music industry curriculum to students in Bandier as well as other Newhouse programs.
Werde, former editorial director of Billboard, has served as a strategic adviser to top media and music industry companies and non-profit organizations for the past year and a half.
"Bandier already has the best music industry students and instructors in the world," says Werde. "This move to the Newhouse School represents an opportunity to leverage some of the best advertising, PR, media, film and television resources and technologies available to students anywhere. I couldn't be more honored and excited to shape this next chapter of Bandier."
During eight-plus years at Billboard, Werde directed content strategy, planning and execution across all Billboard properties, including Billboard magazine and billboard.com, helping transition the company from a print business-to-business trade magazine to a rapidly growing digital consumer brand. He led the 2010 relaunch of billboard.com, created a video department and expanded across social platforms and into branded content. The relaunch earned a 2010 Ellie Award for Digital Media from the American Society of Magazine Editors. Under Werde's direction, Billboard also earned Eddie Awards for Best Media and Entertainment Publication from Folio magazine in 2006 and 2007.
Werde's recent strategic consulting clients include PEN America, Oak View Group, PBS' "Landmarks Live" music performance series and singer/songwriter Andy Grammer. He was previously an associate editor at Rolling Stone magazine, and his work has appeared in The New York Times, Wired, the Washington Post and elsewhere.
"We are thrilled to welcome Bill to the Newhouse School as head of the Bandier Program," says Newhouse Dean Lorraine Branham. "His background and skills make him the right kind of leader for this new era of the program, and I know he will do great things for our students."
The Bandier Program for Music Business and the Entertainment Industries provides an interdisciplinary curriculum of study in the business of music, media, marketing and entrepreneurship, with opportunities for experiential learning in the music business.

TB Infection
US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendations
Targeted Testing and Treatment
Risk Assessment
US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) Recommendations
On September 6, 2016, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) issued final recommendations on Screening for Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI). As anticipated, the USPSTF recommended screening of asymptomatic adults (18 years of age and older) for LTBI. The final recommendation, associated articles published in JAMA and a variety of related resources (including one for consumers) are available at the following URL:
NTCA and Stop TB USA issued a press release about the "B" recommendation citing, "The new USPSTF "B" recommendation for LTBI screening is a major step forward in support of expanded TB testing for people at highest risk. By combining screening with treatment of those infected, active TB could be prevented in the majority of people getting sick with the disease today. The USPSTF recommendations provide an historic opportunity to reduce dramatically the number of people in the U.S. who develop active TB disease, bringing the U.S. closer to our goal of eliminating TB." Read the full press release here.
CDC's key messages about the USPSTF recommendation and various resources and other materials developed by the CDC's Division of TB Elimination can be found on the CDC website and in the messages and resources summary.
The Huffington Post recently published a blog post written by Dr. Jono Mermin, director of CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, Tuberculosis and STD Prevention (NCHHSTP). In writing about the USPSTF recommendation, Dr. Mermin states, "Jump-starting progress toward TB elimination requires a dual approach. We must continue to respond to cases of TB disease and stop outbreaks when they occur. We must also expand efforts to find and treat latent TB infections before they can progress to TB disease."

Healthcare Industry News: HSMN NewsFeed
News Release - November 16, 2017
FDA Announces Comprehensive Regenerative Medicine Policy FrameworkFramework aims to spur innovation, efficient access to potentially transformative products, while ensuring safety and efficacy
SILVER SPRING, Md., Nov. 16, 2017 -- (Healthcare Sales & Marketing Network) -- Today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a comprehensive policy framework for the development and oversight of regenerative medicine products, including novel cellular therapies.
"We're at the beginning of a paradigm change in medicine with the promise of being able to facilitate regeneration of parts of the human body, where cells and tissues can be engineered to grow healthy, functional organs to replace diseased ones; new genes can be introduced into the body to combat disease; and adult stem cells can generate replacements for cells that are lost to injury or disease. This is no longer the stuff of science fiction. This is the practical promise of modern applications of regenerative medicine," said FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D. "But this field is dynamic and complex. As such, it has presented unique challenges to researchers, health care providers, and the FDA as we seek to provide a clear pathway for those developing new therapies in this promising field, while making sure that the FDA meets its obligation to ensure the safety and efficacy of the medical products that patients rely upon. Alongside all the promise, we've also seen products marketed that are dangerous and have harmed people. With the policy framework the FDA is announcing today, we're adopting a risk-based and science-based approach that builds upon existing regulations to support innovative product development while clarifying the FDA's authorities and enforcement priorities. This will protect patients from products that pose potential significant risks, while accelerating access to safe and effective new therapies."
The framework includes two final guidance documents and two draft guidance documents.
New Final Guidance Documents
The two final guidance documents clarify the FDA's interpretation of the risk-based criteria manufacturers use to determine whether a product is subject to the FDA's premarket review.
The first guidance provides greater clarity around when cell and tissue-based products would be excepted from the established regulations if they are removed from and implanted into the same individual within the same surgical procedure and remain in their original form. The second final guidance helps stakeholders better understand how existing regulatory criteria apply to their products by clarifying how the agency interprets the existing regulatory definitions "minimal manipulation" and "homologous use." As this field advances, the FDA has noted that there are a growing number of regenerative medicine products subject to FDA premarket authorization. These guidance documents will help explain how the FDA will provide a risk-based framework for its oversight. The policy framework defines how we intend to take action against unsafe products while facilitating continued innovation of promising technologies.
To accomplish this goal, the guidance document has clarified the FDA's view of "minimal manipulation" and "homologous use." These are two concepts that are defined in current regulation to establish the legal threshold for when a product is subject to the FDA's premarket approval requirements. By further clarifying these terms in the final guidance, the FDA is applying a modern framework for its oversight. Under the new policy, in order to allow manufacturers of products time to comply with the requirements, for the first 36 months following issuance of the final guidance document the FDA intends to exercise enforcement discretion for certain products that are subject to the FDA's premarket review under the existing regulations, but are not currently meeting these requirements. The FDA does not intend to exercise such enforcement discretion for those products that pose a potential significant safety concern. Going forward, the FDA will apply a risk-based approach to enforcement, taking into account how products are being administered as well as the diseases and conditions for which they are being used. This risk-based approach allows product manufacturers time to engage with the FDA, as to determine if they need to submit a marketing authorization application and, if so, submit their application to the FDA for approval.
New Draft Guidance Documents
The two draft guidances provide important information to help spur development and access to innovative regenerative therapies. The first draft guidance, which builds off the regenerative medicine provisions in the 21st Century Cures Act, addresses how the FDA intends to simplify and streamline its application of the regulatory requirements for devices used in the recovery, isolation, and delivery of regenerative medicine advanced therapies (RMATs), including combination products. The guidance specifies that devices intended for use with a specific RMAT may, together with the RMAT, be considered to comprise a combination product.
The second draft guidance describes the expedited programs that may be available to sponsors of regenerative medicine therapies, including the new Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation created by the 21st Century Cures Act, Priority Review, and Accelerated Approval. In addition, the guidance describes the regenerative medicine therapies that may be eligible for RMAT designation � including cell therapies, therapeutic tissue engineering products, human cell and tissue products, and combination products using any such therapies or products, as well as gene therapies that lead to a durable modification of cells or tissues (including genetically modified cells).
"As a molecular and cell biologist and physician, it has been exciting to witness the approval of the first two gene therapies in the U.S. this year. Given the great opportunities that the field of regenerative medicine presents, we have undertaken a rigorous process to clarify our regulations that included solicitation of public input, and I believe today marks a significant step forward for all stakeholders," said Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. "In addition to clarifying some of the more complex areas of the regulations, we have taken meaningful new steps to encourage and expedite the development of innovative therapies. We welcome public comment on our draft guidance documents as we work toward finalizing this framework."
Both draft guidance documents will have 90-day comment periods.
The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices. The agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our nation's food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco products.

From OR nursing to GI Lab
Hi all. I started out as a MedSurg floor nurse for about a year... then got hired into the circulator position in an OR that specializes in heart surgery. I am finishing up six months of orientation. While OR is exciting, I miss being more involved in patient care. I don't want to go back to being a nurse on the floor, but I feel that working in a hospital's GI lab would bring a happy medium between patient care and the feel of an OR (being in the procedure room).
I guess what I'm wondering is how much is being in the GI lab like being in the OR? is there counting of any sort (the thing I dislike most about being in the OR)? labeling and sending specimens? I have my phone interview coming up this week. I am ACLS certified. Will I have a hard time transitioning into GI lab? How long is training typically? Is there a tense scrub techs vs nurses atmosphere in the GI lab (between nurses and endo techs) like I've noticed there being in the OR? Any info and insight appreciated
About schmoodle, BSN, RN
Joined: Oct '11; Posts: 50; Likes: 8Feb 20, '17Depending on the unit, you may be pre, post, and procedural or only one of those areas. Procedural is going to be a heck of a lot like the OR only sterility is not enforced because the GI and respiratory tracts aren't sterile and there are no counts. Specimens? You're probably going to see a lot more specimens in GI- polyps, biopsies, brushings, etc. I've watched some of our endo staff set up 12+ specimen containers before a case even starts. As for tension between staff, that's going to vary based on the environment fostered by staff and management, not the type of unit.Feb 21, '17If you are hired to work in the GI lab you will not have much patient care with an awake patient. Once in the lab the patient is quickly sedated, similar to OR.
I have always gotten along with GI techs. I know their on the job training makes them my equal, if not above me, in some technical aspects of working in the GI lab. I try to learn about the scopes and numerous wires, guides, clamps, clips, etc. so I can help them. I ask them for help and advice.
If you will float between admit, the lab, and discharge, then you will have the opportunity for patient care with an awake patient.
A lot of specimen labeling and sending out. There are tips and short cuts, hopefully whomever orients you will teach you well.Feb 22, '17I never worked in the OR but it seems like the same type of set up only not sterile, and no scrubbing or counting so that sounds like it's a plus for you. TONS of specimens, depending on the patient and procedure. There are a lot of technical skills to learn with obtaining specimens and doing injections, tattooing and placing clips, but I find it super interesting and not necessarily hard, just requires some practice. Depending on the patients you get it could be straight forward stuff or a little more complicated (endoscopic ultrasound, fine needle aspirations, ERCP, etc.) In my experience, the endo techs are amazing and have very specialized skills. They will most likely be training you in the procedure room, in fact. You should respect the sh!t out of them because they're in charge. It depends on the facility, but like the others have mentioned, you might be rotating between pre procedure, procedure and recovery. I find that procedure is the most interesting of course, though the recovery room is also interesting and likely includes a lot of opportunity for patient teaching, which I love. Endoscopy is very very fast paced and most of the procedures are relatively short so maintaining the flow is a huge priority.Feb 25, '17Thank you for the responses, everyone. I really appreciate it. I have a few more questions.
Is there an anesthesiologist in the room? Do nurses administer conscious sedation (under the doctor's supervision?) A lot of places ask for a background in ICU/Emergency with ACLS certification (the latter of which I have). Are you watching vitals during the procedure?
I truly respect my scrub techs in the OR and would respect my endo techs as well of course (just as I would respect any member of the staff). I just wondered about working relations between nurses and scrubs being a bit on the hostile side as universal thing in general or facility specific.Feb 25, '17I don't know what the nation wide standard for GI sedationi is?
When I first worked GI in an acute care hospital nurses did GI sedation. The GI lab was part of an ambulatory and in patient surgery clinic within an acute care hospital.
I moved to an independent, free standing, ambulatory clinic that added on GI a few years later, nurses were still doing GI sedation.
About 8 - 10 years ago suddenly anesthesiologist were doing all the GI sedation. The theory/rumor was anesthesia could give propofol. The patients would be "out" quicker and stay "out". When nurses did sedation with fentanty and versed it took longer for the patient to be sedated, they woke up more during the procedure, making it take longer. More patient complaints about it was uncomfortable. The bottom line was money, GI docs made money doing a lot of cases and they could do more cases quicker when anesthesia gave sedation.
Both "roles" are easy. GIving the sedation, or assisting the anesthesiologist, (along with assisting the tech and gastroenterologist). I could write a lot more about the different "roles". If you're curious let me know how it will be done where you might get a job.Feb 27, '17Re: administering sedation
I work in an outpt facility which utilizes anesthesiologists only one or two days per week. The other days of the week the RNs administer fent/versed for one set of providers, and do NAPS for the other. When doing the fent/versed the RN will also assist with bx, etc. as much as they are able. A GI tech is always available if necessary- if there are too many specimens to collect or the pt requires constant hands on attention. When administering Propofol that is all the RN does. No specimen collection. We are always right by the pts head monitoring airway at all times.
I really enjoy both types of sedation. Though my RN job is easier when the anesthesiologist is present, it is also less interesting.Mar 5, '17I work in an outpatient GI clinic (MD owned)..narcs are counted before the first procedure and after the last one. Fent & Versed are used, sometimes Demerol &/or Phenergan. It's conscious sedation done by an RN - no Nurse Anesthetist . Yes, biopsies or polyps are taken & sent to a lab however there is a printer that makes the lab labels based off what is documented so it's not a huge deal. In the Endo room there is the MD, RN & Tech. In pre/post op there is an RN & Tech who take vital signs & start the IV. There isn't a lot of documentation & it's all electronic.
The job itself is not difficult but it's very repetitive & honestly boring most of the time as it's EGD's & colonoscopies only & most of those are for GERD or routine cancer screen so if you like doing/seeing something different you may want to reconsider or at least choose a hospital based GI lab so there would be variety. Where I am there is no chance for picking up extra time if wanted & where I am there are no benefits other than expensive health insurance for employee only - no family coverage. The hours are basically 6:30-3 4 days a week. Low stress though obviously something could go wrong & you have to be ready to act of course but overall..it's just very routine. The stress comes mostly from not knowing how the MD is going to be - he can be very friendly one day, not friendly the next then not speak at all some days - in a small room that can make things uncomfortable but I've gotten use to it.Mar 24, '17I work in a hospital based endo unit and for the most part we have a great dynamic with our techs. They are rock stars and usually have a good relationship with the MD's. Their relationship is like a dance and anticipating each others needs is key.
We usually sedate our patients, but we have two days a week scheduled with anesthesia for patients that have complicated health histories or are substance abusers. We also can refuse to sedate a patient if we think they're an ASA IV or we have strong belief they are too high risk for nurse sedation. Critical thinking is key in the hospital setting as you are likely doing elective procedures on higher risk patients.
Pre-procedure teaching is crucial for better outcomes with patients because not all patients are "out" during procedure and not all patients forget the exam...Aug 7, '17Quote from ILoveGINot certain what is meant by the comment that" all patients are not out and all patients forget the exam"? I was warding this off, when I asked for an Anesthesiologist and asked the team to make certain I did not awake in the midst of the procedure. I will say that I was truly out of it when they came to wake me up and told me to get up and I couldn't. I was then told by a tech to get up or else because my stretcher was needed. I then sank into the dressing room and my husband was called to haul me out of there. Not fun, but at least the end result was not cancer.I work in a hospital based endo unit and for the most part we have a great dynamic with our techs. They are rock stars and usually have a good relationship with the MD's. Their relationship is like a dance and anticipating each others needs is key.

Islamic Organization With Terror Ties Complains About – and Successfully Shuts Down – Event Celebrating the U.S. Constitution
This is beyond outrageous. Could somebody please explain to the officials running Michiganistan that they still live in America? … for the time being anyway.
Via Christian Newswire:
In the middle of an event to extol the virtues of the U.S. Constitution and "American Laws For American Courts," the audience learned first-hand how easy it is to lose their freedom of Speech and Assembly.
Amid shouts of "What about free speech?" from the audience, the Allegan Police Department ordered the event shut-down. School officials notified police that they had received a letter complaining about the event from Dawud Walid, Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI). The letter asked the school to disallow the event despite an existing contract. CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism funding trial in U. S. history, U.S. v. Holy Land Foundation.
As a result, the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, announced today that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR- MI), its Executive Director, the City of Allegan, the Allegan Police Department and the School District were named as defendants in a thirty-four page civil rights lawsuit filed in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Michigan, this morning. The claims included constitutional and contract violations. Click here for copy of federal complaint.
Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Law Center commented, "It's amazing how much clout CAIR has with the political establishment of both parties in Lansing and throughout Michigan and the nation. This, despite the fact that CAIR has its roots in the Muslim Brotherhood, was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial, and the FBI's former chief of counterterrorism, noted that CAIR, its leaders, and its activities effectively give aid to international terrorist groups."
This isn't some paranoid right-wing entity that ties every Islamic organization to terrorism. CAIR's ties to terrorist organizations are real and tangible.
Here is an excerpt from my report on the New York Times and the wrongfully discredited film, the Third Jihad.
Oddly enough, the strongest opposition has been from groups such as CAIR, a prime example of the organizations that are actually exposed in the film. Ryan Mauro points out that the ones trying to silence the film and who oppose its use as training material in law enforcement are the same ones who stand to lose the most from the films portrayal of radical Islam.
"What amazes me is how The New York Times and other outlets seem to treat CAIR as an objective source," Mauro said. "We expose how CAIR and its allies grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood and the federal government has provided evidence tying them to Hamas—of course they are going to try to discredit us."
Indeed, CAIR was one of three prominent Islamic organizations that were named as an 'unindicted co-conspirator' in a case alleging criminal conspiracy to support the Palestinian Arab terrorist group, Hamas. A report in The New York Sun documented this, while including the following statement:
"CAIR, in particular, has faced persistent claims that it is soft on terrorism. Critics note that several former CAIR officials have been convicted or deported after being charged with fraud, embargo violations, or aiding terrorist training. Spokesmen for the group have also raised eyebrows for offering generic denunciations of terrorism but refusing to condemn by name specific Islamic terrorist groups such as Hamas or Hezbollah."
Yet the group had little trouble calling out the New York Police Department, their commissioner Ray Kelly, the mayor of New York, and the filmmakers specifically by name when denouncing something critical of CAIR itself.
That same Sun report, however, featured FBI officials that still felt the designation of co-conspirator was not warranted. A mere two years later though, they had come to the realization that CAIR's relationship to Hamas was real, severing its once-close ties to the organization, and labeling them as nothing more than a front for the terrorist group. Executive Director of CAIR, Nihad Awad, was shown to have participated in planning meetings with the Holy Land Foundation, five officials of which were convicted in December of funneling $12.4 million to Hamas. Not only is Hamas an official U.S.-designated terrorist group, according to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, but it is illegal to provide support for it within the United States.
The rest of the report can be read here…
Ironically, the opening to that report seems appropriate for this new situation in Michigan.
Imagine a nation bound so tightly to the throws of the politically correct, that it can no longer defend itself. A nation so overcome with fear, that the common sense act of targeting the most likely terrorists is no longer considered an acceptable practice. Imagine an entire nation transformed from the basic understanding that it is at war with radicals willing to launch themselves as missiles into twin towers, to having the discussion turned completely on its head, to the point where even talking about that enemy is deemed taboo.
Thanks to the … brazen demands of terror-linked groups, America no longer has to imagine. We're living it.
We're living it indeed. The Constitution takes second place to the demands of a terror-linked Islamic organization. How easily we have forgotten that America comes first, and CAIR does not represent America's best interests – they represent their own.
Bill Ayers Plans on "Occupying Everything", Announces Two New Books
Via Comics Alliance:
CA: What are you working on this year?
BA: I'm working over-time this year on occupying this and occupying that, occupying the future and occupying my imagination, occupying everything in and out of sight.
Did you catch that? Read through it again, and you might just notice the word 'occupying' showing up one or two or five times.
And occupy he has.
A few weeks ago, Ayers paid a visit to the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City and waxed poetic about the end of American capitalism, before ranting about "uniformed military" being allowed to board planes before everyone else.
Ayers also spoke to a group of students at Knox College last Thursday, questioning why he is referred to as a 'former activist', and drawing parallels between "anti-slavery, universal suffrage movements and Occupy Wall Street movements".
Last month, some of Ayers' best friends and most accomplished domestic terrorist partners were in upstate New York for a meeting called, The Weather Underground Meets Occupy Wall Street.
With this recent spate of activity, it would appear the two movements are merging causes in anticipation of the Occupiers becoming "more radical". Their words, not mine.
In the Comics Alliance interview, Ayers continues…
Revolution is still possible, democracy and socialism, possible, but barbarism is possible as well. I'm trying to live leaning forward, a pessimist of the head but an optimist of the heart. I find the tools everywhere-humor and art, comics and poetry, protest and spectacle, the quiet, patient intervention and the angry and urgent thrust-but the rhythm of activism remains the same: we open our eyes and look unblinkingly at the world as we find it; we are astonished by the beauty and the suffering all around us; we recognize that right next to the world as such is a world that could be or should be; we dive into the wreckage and swim as hard as we can toward a distant and indistinct shore; we doubt that our efforts make enough difference, and so we rethink, recalibrate, look again, and dive in once more. If we never doubt we get lost in self-righteousness and political narcissism-been there. If we only doubt we vanish into cynicism and despair. Awake/Act/Doubt! Repeat for a lifetime.
When referring to barbarism and 'repeating for a lifetime', one has to wonder if Ayers has these particular parts of his activist past in mind:
Ayers took part in a series of bombings in the 1970s that killed three activists. The intent was much worse however, as the bombings were designed to kill army officers in New Jersey – It accidentally exploded in a New York townhouse.
Lest we forget that in regards to the day he successfully bombed the Pentagon, Ayers said, "Everything was absolutely ideal. … The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them."
And of course, there is William's mantra to "Kill all the rich people. … Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents."
More famously, in an article that appeared in the New York Times on September 11th, 2001, Ayers was quoted as saying that he did not regret setting bombs and, "I feel we didn't do enough."
At the end of the interview, Ayers also announced two new book projects in the works:
Oh, and I've got two new books on the way: Palling Around: Talking with the Tea Party, and What If? Releasing the Radical Imagination.
U.N. Sends Pro-Jihad Imam to Israel Bashing Conference, Once Called Killing of Americans a Religious Duty
From CNSNews:
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon sent his Mideast envoy to deliver a message on his behalf to a conference in Qatar this week whose aims include "pointing out the weaknesses of the Jew's historical arguments backing their claims" to Jerusalem.
Co-hosted by the Qatar government and the Arab League, the two-day "International Conference for the Defense of Jerusalem" brought together politicians from across the Arab and Muslim world, representatives of pro-Palestinian organizations, clerics and academics.
Participants included Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an influential Sunni cleric regarded as the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, who has drawn criticism for comments about Palestinian suicide bombings.
Also of note is a report I did on Qaradawi back in 2010, when he was being cited as a source of inspiration for the Ground Zero imam.
And speaking of the fatwa advising Muslims in the U.S. military that it was okay to fight the Taliban …
The renowned Islamic scholar that Rauf is referring to is Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi. In a New York Times article one month after 9/11, Rauf was quoted as saying:
"This fatwa is very significant. Yusuf Qaradawi is probably the most well-known legal authority in the whole Muslim world today."
Question is, was that hollow fatwa (a hotwa as it were) more significant than Qaradawi's proclamation on Al Jazeera two weeks earlier?
Qaradawi stated: "A Muslim is forbidden from entering into an alliance with a non-Muslim against another Muslim." He called on Muslims to "fight the American military if we can, and if we cannot, we should fight the U.S. economically and politically."
Qaradawi elaborated on that non-fatwa fatwa in 2004 when he said of American troops:
"…all of the Americans in Iraq are combatants, there is no difference between civilians and soldiers, and one should fight them, since the American civilians came to Iraq in order to serve the occupation. The abduction and killing of Americans in Iraq is a [religious] obligation so as to cause them to leave Iraq immediately. The mutilation of corpses [however] is forbidden in Islam."
Abduction and killing is an obligation, but he draws the line at corpse mutilation. Very classy.
Another moderate, in the eyes of the U.N.
Why do we continue to house U.N. headquarters on American soil?
Occupy Albany Announces Second Event Supporting Convicted Cop Killer
The Radical Caucus of Occupy Albany and the New York State Prisoner Justice Network will be demonstrating in solidarity with political prisoner Jalil Muntaqim, currently sentenced to six months in the SHU (Segregated Housing Unit) at Attica Prison. We will use the People's Mic for a call and response of our demands to an end of mass incarceration, over-sentencing to the SHU, and specifically to bring attention to Jalil's case.
Mr. Bloomberg, responding to a request by Diane Piagentini, Officer Piagentini's widow, wrote, "Anthony Bottom's crime is unforgivable, and its consequences will remain forever" with the families of the police officers, "as well as the men and women of the New York City Police Department."
"Because he so callously stole these officers' lives," the mayor added, "Bottom should serve the maximum sentence without parole."
In a book on 'imprisoned intellectuals', Muntaqim is described as follows:
While a member of the Black Panther Party, Muntaqim held beliefs which paralleled those of the underground faction, as opposed to the mainstream party, which focused on organizing, communicating with nationwide affiliates and other revolutionary groups to form positive political and social relations. In contrast, the underground party was focused on radical means of obtaining equality. Its members served as experts in military strategy and were "the essential armed wing of the above-ground political apparatus."
Gilbert is currently serving time, like Jalil Muntaqim, in the Auburn Correctional Facility and is described as "an American radical leftist organizer and activist." He was imprisoned for his role in the Brinks Robbery of 1981, a botched effort that led to the murder of four people, including a security guard and two police officers.
How Occupy of them.
Occupy, this is who your leaders are siding with. This is who they wish to be associated with. This is who they are supporting, who they fight for, who they emulate.
Whatever our differences Occupy, it's time you took your movement back from these radicals. Before it's too late.

I wish I had something deep, or moving, or stirring to share. Unfortunately, I don't. I'm too damn tired! The residency takes a good portion of my free time. I've felt rather productive lately – getting all this stuff done. But I wonder at which point I'm going to start feeling the social withdrawal? And will it send me careening towards emptiness and loneliness as it usually does? I'm in a different place now, so it's really hard to tell.
I do have a lot on my mind, but it's all pretty fresh, and therefore not fit for sharing. But it has a lot to do with rejection and acceptance – the ways that our souls are wounded, and the ways we seek to heal ourselves. And of course it's not nearly as sterile as I'm making it out to be . . . it's quite personal. I think I'm going to be doing some really painful digging into the past once again. Is this shit ever finished?
Anywho, I haven't been left completely destitute. I've been making the rounds as much as possible – I've had some great talks w/ good buddies (Burke and Paul), some heart-to-hearts with personal, local favorites (Christy), and good times w/ new friends (Chris).
Last week I got to go to a Jim Wallis talk on faith and politics. Amazing. It was a nice precursor to Brian McLaren's sermon at CR on Sunday. Double amazing. The more I hear them speak, the more I get a more complete picture of this Kingdom, and it's sooo exciting! It gives me hope for the hopeless situations I come across daily.
In other news, I'm SUPER excited my buddy Jonathan will be coming down tomorrow! I haven't seen this guy in forever – should be good times!
Soooo . . . I better be getting home. It's been a really long day.

By Jack Whibley, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The International Olympic Committee's (IOC) inspectors completed their fifth trip to Rio on Monday, September 2nd to review Olympic preparations and, at a press conference wrapping up the trip, gave organizers cautious approval of the way things are going.
"A lot of work has been done, but a large amount still remains across the entire project and some timelines remain very, very tight," said Nawal El Moutawakel, the head of the IOC Coordination Commission.
The IOC spent two days in what El Moutawakel described as "intense meetings" with city officials and members of the Rio 2016 Organizing Committee. She continued, "All the Committee is leaving Rio happy with the work that has been done and confident about the future of this Olympic Games."
Clearly much work lies ahead in the three years until the Games arrive in Rio and the IOC stressed that Rio 2016 must focus on the construction of venues, particularly in the Deodoro Zone, and associated infrastructure across the city.
Referring to the construction works of the new Metro subway line linking Zona Sul (South Zone) with Barra da Tijuca, Gilbert Felli the Executive Director of the Olympic Games at the IOC said, "We are concerned but [the works] are going very fast. Because the works are due to finish close to the Games, we will remain concerned until close to delivery of the Games." Felli continued, "There will need to be a contingency plan if suddenly the Metro is not ready."
At the press conference, the IOC was keen to stress the lasting legacy that hosting South America's first Olympics will bring to Rio. "We have been impressed by the commitment of the Rio 2016 team to ensure that legacy is at the heart of everything they do and whether it is developing transport infrastructure, building an education program, or leaving a sporting heritage to the city, Rio 2016 is making sure that nothing is left to chance", said El Moutawakel.
The president of the Rio 2016 Organizing Committee, Carlos Nuzman, gave further details of the legacy the Games will bring. He said, "The most important legacy is bringing the Olympics to Brazil. Bus Rapid Transit lines and the Metro extension are the most important traffic legacy."
The Olympic Experimental School in Santa Teresa, named after former IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch, was also praised by Nuzman who said, "it will change lives and turn some students into elite athletes."
The IOC's visit will be seen as a modest success by Rio 2016 organizers as many had feared more severe criticism from the inspectors following a series of problems for the Games' organizers over the past month. The head of Brazil's Olympic Public Authority resigned in mid-August amid rumors of a political fall out regarding the organization of the Games.
More recently, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) suspended accreditation for Rio's anti-doping laboratory. The laboratory was the only WADA-accredited facility in Brazil and it now needs to reapply for accreditation.
In response to the suspension, Rio 2016 said, "We are fully aware of the developments with regard to [the laboratory]. Anti-doping testing is an important element of the Rio 2016 Games and we will work closely with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and [the laboratory] to help them to take the necessary measures to successfully reapply for WADA accreditation in advance of 2016."
The IOC inspectors will return to Rio in March 2014 for their sixth visit.

DUAL, the Digital Unreliable Amateur Link format, provides an amateur link layer with:
DUAL sits as the basic Logical Link Control layer in the overall Link Layer, as shown in the following diagram.
Figure : DUAL within the Link Layer
Below DUAL is the Medium Access Layer, which controls access to the link and performs other tasks such as bit/byte-stuffing. At the bottom is the Physical Layer, which transmits the data over the medium using some form of modulation, and perhaps with some data encoding.
DUAL is designed to accept packets from higher layers, and to pass them on to the appropriate MAC and Physical layers for encoding and eventual transmission. Similarly, it accepts packets from MAC layers and passes them on to the appropriate higher layer. Although DUAL will most often be used with a single higher layer and MAC layer, the following scenario is quite possible.
Figure : An Example Protocol Stack with DUAL
Here DUAL has access to two MAC layers, a CSMA-style one like that used in AX.25, and ALOHA. Below that are three physical interfaces which can transmit data. Above DUAL are three Network layers, IP, NETROM and a layer which provides AX.25-style virtual circuit connections.
