The Times-Picayune is marking the tricentennial of New Orleans with its ongoing 300 for 300 project, running through 2018 and highlighting the moments and people that connect and inspire us. Today, the series continues with the 1953 of Professor Longhair's "Tipitina."
THEN: In the precious years leading up to the explosion of a newfangled form of popular music known as rock 'n' roll -- circa 1955 -- in a time when so many seminal musicians were molding their own distinctive amalgams that would launch a revolution, a singular figure emerged from the smoky, seedy bars and clubs of New Orleans. HIs contributions to the heady musical scene were unlike anything the world had ever heard -- and, in hindsight, will probably never hear again. Henry Roeland Byrd, otherwise known as Professor Longhair, cut and released "Tipitina" in 1953, and with its syncopated rhythms, rollicking blues piano -- famously dubbed boogie-rhumba -- hints of gospel and one-of-a-kind vocals (such as "oola malla walla dalla"), the song became the model for all New Orleans piano rock that would ensue.
NOW: Professor Longhair died in 1980, but his musical legacy is alive and well. Not only is "Tipitina" his signature song, but it's also one of the most ubiquitous, revered and influential cuts ever to come out of New Orleans. Synonymous with New Orleans' rockin' party vibe, the song is widely seen as one of the most crucial landmarks in rock 'n' roll history. After sailing under the popular radar for decades, "Tipitina" is now musical canon -- not to mention the namesake of one of the city's most well-known music clubs.
- "Tipitina" was recorded where so many other iconic New Orleans R&B platters were: Cosimo Matassa's J&M Studios on Rampart Street. Because of the large amount of work he put in as a producer for the track, Matassa received a songwriting credit.
- Some discussion has existed as to which musicians backed up Longhair on "Tipitina," but two other local music legends and studio musicians -- drummer Earl Palmer and tenor saxophonist Lee Allen -- definitely worked on the recordings.
- OK, we gotta ask -- what in the blazes is "Tipitina" about? Because of Longhair's laid-back (and at times out of tune) vocals and goofy, somewhat incomprehensible enigma of a lyric sheet, it's hard to pin down. Some say it's a reference to a legless weed dealer, while others believe it's a faraway island. A few agree that Tipitina refers to a volatile volcano in Africa. And who's this Loberta gal? Yeah, she's 21, she likes her gin parties until the wee hours, and (the narrator hopes) she's ready to ball. Oola malla walla dalla, indeed.
- The 1953 sessions were part of the second contract Longhair held with Atlantic Records. In addition to the initial sessions he recorded for Atlantic in '53 (the ones that produced "Tipitina"), Fess -- as Professor Longhair has become known -- had gone into the studio in late 1949/early 1950 with Atlantic; those sessions birthed arguably his second-most lasting tune, "Mardi Gras in New Orleans," backed with "She Walks Right In," which was issued in February of 1950.
- "Tipitina" was initially released as a single in 1953 (with "In the Night" as the B side), but it and Fess' other Atlantic recordings were packaged and released in 1972 as a long-player, titled "New Orleans Piano." At the time, Longhair was enjoying a renaissance after years of obscurity and poverty, thanks to the awakening of fans to his music, including a landmark, breakthrough performance at the still-nascent New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival Fest.
- "Tipitina" -- both the original and ensuing re-recordings and live versions -- have studded numerous other albums and CD compilation, even well after his death in 1980.
- One of the quirkiest characteristic of "Tipitina" is arguably its most important: the significant influence of Caribbean music. In addition to barrelhouse piano blues and boogie-woogie, Fess absorbed the music of the islands, which had filtered into the New Orleans music scene in the early 20th century. Wrote allmusic.com's Lindsay Planer, "Among the more discernible inspirations behind the steady pulsating arrangement, one detects undercurrents and connections to the vibrations of the West Indies, specifically the tricky syncopated shuffle of calypso."
- "Tipitina" might be recognized today as Professor Longhair's most durable and well known song, but when it was released in 1953, it didn't make much of a splash on the national charts. In fact, it wasn't Fess' biggest hit -- that honor would go to 1950's "Bald Head," which was actually recorded under the name Roy Byrd and the Blues Jumpers. "Bald Head" reached No. 5 on the Billboard R&B charts, while "Tipitina" barely skirted the bottom of the lists.
- The Fat Man" by Fats Domino and "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" by Lloyd Price, two more songs that are in the New Orleans music canon. The melody of the song was cribbed from an earlier release, Champion Jack Dupree's "Junker Blues," recorded in 1941 and itself based on a song by barrelhouse bluesman Willie Hall. Both from New Orleans, Dupree learned the song from Hall, the former's mentor, and became the first artist to commit "Junker Blues" to wax. In addition to influencing Longhair's "Tipitina," it also inspired "
- In 2010, the Library of Congress placed "Tipitina" in the library's National Recording Registry.
- Because "Tipitina" and Fess have become symbols of New Orleans, especially its music, the song has been used in several movies and on film soundtracks, including "The Big Easy," "Double Jeopardy," "Cape Fear" (Scorsese-De Niro version) and, believe or not, "Flipper." Which is about a dolphin that, apparently, boogies.
- One band was so enraptured with the song and its progenitor that its members named their group after the legendary cut. The English band Tipitina formed around 2000 after its members -- especially its leaders, singer Debbie Jones and pianist Justin Randall -- heard and assimilated Fess' rhythmic magic, and fell in love with the city that birthed so many music legends, especially piano players and singers. "The name is so connected to the music," Randall told the Times-Picayune in 2013, shortly after the group visited New Orleans for the first time. "You couldn't really pick a name that is more connected."
"Tipitina" has been covered by numerous musicians, and the number of artists it has influenced is incalculable. It's greatest value, however, might be in its very existence as a musical embodiment of New Orleans itself: It's a little wild, a little weird, but undeniably fun and embraceable. Rolling Stone's David Fricke wrote that the song "captured the lazy tempo of life in New Orleans' steaming humidity ... (with a) volcanic tangle of funeral march drums and Longhair's piano." In an interview with The Word magazine, British actor and musician Hugh Laurie, who covered "Tipitina" for his debut album, added: "It's an amazing thing, and it's a distinctively New Orleans thing. And an awful lot has been built on it since Professor Longhair did it."

Until the age of 35, I hid my imaginary genital deformity by avoiding oral sex and bright lights in the bedroom. I actually believed I'd stretched my inner lips from too much childhood masturbation. Once I had "pussy pride" I became unstoppable.
In 1998 when my website went up, I created a Genital Art Gallery where viewers could submit photos of their sex organs with a brief essay about their relationship to them. Never again would another woman think there was something wrong with her vulva for lack of positive imagery. By then, I knew guys had their own concerns about the size and appearance of their penises.
Today, many women in the adult industry have undergone surgery for the removal of their extended inner lips to achieve what one surgeon calls, "The Clamshell Look," reminiscent of a pre-pubescent girl. Other women began to want a similar look.
To counter this unnecessary cosmetic surgery, my Genital Art Gallery has become a research project where both women and men can share as well as appreciate the vast diversity of our magnificent sex organs.

Health Care Crisis
"-- old Dr Blacklock. A real old pigheaded bully, absolutely set in his ways, and convinced that everything he thought and said was right. Probably killed thousands of patients through obstancy. He wouldn't stand for any new ideas or methods.A Murder is Announced - Agatha Christie
"I don't know that I blame him there," said Miss Marple. "I always feel that the young doctors are only too anxious to experiment. After they've whipped out all our teeth, and administered quantities of very peculiar glands, and removed bits of our insides, they then confess that nothing can be done for us. I really prefer the old-fashioned remedy of big black bottles of medicine. After all, one can always pour those down the sink."
No, don't look for a deep meaning. I was just re-reading an old favourite and that made me laugh out loud.

7th date dating
16-Dec-2017 05:57
I bought this book in order to learn how to avoid falling in love with jerks. It's not exactly slow, but it's half a pace slower than the time before. I confess that I did not buy this book in order to learn how to date slowly. These days many prefer to stay in lifeless relationships than venture into the wild tundra that has taken over dating these days and who can blame them?The rules seem to change with every tick of the clock and it seems it's more about getting the advantage than having fun falling in love.
Our chemistry was immediate (physical, intellectual, and emotional) and things have been very easy so far. I am totally comfortable with the speed (how often we are communicating, seeing each other, and sharing information about ourselves).
Here is how we can find a little bit of honesty in increasingly dishonest dating culture.

The Northern Theory Group in conjunction with the Journal for Cultural Research and the Politics, Philosophy and Religion Department of Lancaster University is organizing a one-day research seminar on the 9th June 2014, at Lancaster University, beginning at 1000am and finishing at 5.00pm. The keynote speaker for the day is Professor William Rasch, Professor of Germanic Studies at Indiana University (author of Sovereignty and its Discontents: On the Primacy of Conflict and the Structure of the Political). A summary of William Rasch's contribution is appended to this message. Michael Hölzl, of Manchester University, and translator of one of Schmitt's central texts on political theology, will also present a paper at the event.
The event is particularly aimed at academics and research and graduate students interested in the legacy of Carl Schmitt. Expanded versions of the prepared contributions to the day will be eligible for consideration (through blind peer review) for a special edition of the Journal under the guest editorship of William Rasch (Indiana), Arthur Bradley and Laurence Hemming (both Lancaster).
If you wish to attend please email Laurence Hemming email@example.com or Arthur Bradley email@example.com, as soon as possible. There is no charge for the event but we do ask that you register in advance.
Call for Papers We are inviting short contributions of up to fifteen minutes (maximum) from participants – initial proposals of not more than 500 words should be emailed to Laurence Hemming firstname.lastname@example.com or Arthur Bradley email@example.com by 10th May 2014 – because of the short notice we will get back to you within a day or two about acceptance. Even if you are not aiming to make a formal presentation, we would welcome your attendance.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Laurence Hemming & Arthur Bradley
A summary of William Rasch's contribution is below, providing the context for the event.
"Political Theology, as Carl Schmitt originally formulated it, is meant to serve as an analytical tool. The core definition of this "sociology of concepts" is not the one usually cited – "All significant concepts of the modern theory of the state are secularized theological concepts" – but rather this: "Das metaphysische Bild, das sich ein bestimmtes Zeitalter von der Welt macht, hat die selbe Struktur wie das, was ihr als Form ihrer politischen Organisation ohne weiteres einleuchtet." (The metaphysical image of the world that a particular epoch makes for itself, has the same structure as that which immediately appears to it as the form of its political organization.) We can elaborate: Within a well-defined epoch – the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, modernity, to use conventional markers – the intellectual class of a society constructs a metaphysical understanding of the world it inhabits. Upon reflection, we see that political organization conforms to the expectations produced by the metaphysics of the day. Put in a "post-metaphysical" way: For the articulation of political form to be understood, it must be enunciated within the prevalent discursive field of the times. In other words, the cosmic and social orders are homologous because each speaks the same language. What is sociological for Schmitt, then, is not a ("dialectically" mediated) causal link between material base and ideological superstructure, but rather the systematic conceptual coherence of the superstructure itself; or, as Schmitt puts it, the discovery and comparison of "two spiritual [geistig] but at the same time substantial identities" that commune with one another in the same structural language. Thus, whereas in a theistic age, political sovereignty and the state of exception have their correlates in the belief in an omnipotent God and that God's ability to suspend the laws of nature to produce miracles, under the sign of enlightenment deism or modern secular atheism, the thoroughly rationalized "machine runs by itself."
"The question we ask is the following: Is Schmitt's "sociology of concepts," his "political theology," worth exploring as a possible tool for investigating the nature and genealogy of the modernity we think we inhabit? If so, does Schmitt's tool need to be sharpened or blunted for it to work better? We ask as example: Is it possible to articulate the foundations of our most cherished political beliefs without recourse to past or present theological concepts? For instance, is, as some believe (e.g. Nicholas Wolterstorff, Steven D. Smith), the concept of human rights incoherent or nonsensical without reference to biblical theism? If so, where would such a foundational story lead us? Or on the contrary, as Richard Rorty taught us, are such genealogical searches for foundations themselves evidence of the proverbial nonsense on stilts; and what would be the consequences of such willful repression of inquiry?"

achieving the dream
One Good Day is all about helping children
and adults in tough circumstances with the
opportunity to take a break, and have at least
One Good Day. This time of refreshment with
fun and fellowship can often lead to better
times ahead and another good day.
Our hearts desire is to see peoples hopes
and dreams restored and we are here to be a
helping hand in that journey.
One of our prime activities is our indigenous
choir where children of all ages perform in
many different locations around Australia singing not only in English but also in Dharug - the native
Aboriginal language of the Sydney region.
If you would like to know more about what we do, or the many different ways you can support One
Good Day, please see our contact us page.
We hope you have a good day!

About Us
achieving the dream
We are a non profit organisation that is the outreach arm of
Nulawala Incorporated, and our team of workers are all voluntary.
Our prime goal is to take the kids out so they can have at the very
least "one good day", with lots of fun and laughter in refreshing
We are committed to empowering Indigenous families to implement
their desired community goals. This includes strengthening the
communities level of activity to reach excellence in health and well
Our ultimate goal is to have the community reach their own goals
rather than have an organisations self developed program pushed
on them.
We have several facets to our outreach and one special activity
has been the formation of the Mt Druitt Indigenous Choir which
sang at forty venues in 2012, and to many thousands of people at
the Dee Why Carols.
We are presently looking at the formation of a One Good Day Resource Centre which we are hoping
to see staffed and eventually self sustained by the local community. We already have two different
organisations who are donating books to help in the kids education.
We are always having extensive communication with the elders and parents of the communities to
ensure that they are happy with all our plans and activities. Our teams view is that we are simply here
to lend a helping hand to get the community started on good healthy programs and to be proud to take
ownership of the programs in the future.
One Good Day is taking positive action towards
disadvantaged Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders.
The Choir
The Mount Druitt Indigenous Choir
This is the choir performing at the Dee Why Christmas Celebration on the beach - 20
December 2013
This is the choir performing at the Mayor's Reception for the 2013 Aboriginal Conference "Warimi
Ngallawah Mittigar (Hello, come in, sit down, friend)" at the Blacktown Arts Centre
achieving the dream
The Choir has now become very popular and they sang at thirty venues in 2015 - not many choirs
have this many opportunities. They perform by invitation at various functions around the city and the
country. The local Aboriginal language Darug is being taught to the choir, as well as their English
songs, so they can portray the links directly to their culture in performances. Bookings for the choir
can be made via our Contact Us page. Also you can see the choir on Facebook - just click this link
Helping to raise money to support the kids
We also sell the merchandise at live events like the choir performances.
We have also had great sponsorship from organisations who believe in what we are doing. For any
sponsorship interests please see our Contact Us page so we can send you our Sponsorship
Information Kit.
achieving the dream
One activity that One Good Day does to raise financial support for the kids is putting on sausage
sizzles at Bunnings. This activity is one great way for the community to see and learn a little bit
more about what we do. At the counter where we serve the food and drinks we have on display
many photos of the kids at various activities and also have some small indigenous items for sale.
Quite often this leads to enquiries from the public and many times people offer a bit of extra
money to support our cause.
All the money raised goes towards supporting the children in various ways.
The following video shows Dave Armstrong and his crew outside Bunnings.

I don't need lessons on comprehension. And I'm not "pissed" about anything that Al Gore does,
No, see, this is a form of fear mongering and toying with people's emotions.
There is zero--ZERO--proof that what he is using as an example will happen...he's playing in hypotheticals and presenting them in a factual manner.
THE cracks are beginning to show. Greenland's ice sheets slid into the sea 400,000 years ago, when Earth was only a little warmer than it is today. That could mean we are set for a repeat performance.
The finding, along with data from Antarctica, suggests both of Earth's big ice sheets may have already passed a crucial tipping point, condemning them to collapse – either melting, or sliding into the ocean. That will mean sea levels rising by as much as 13 metres, leading to massive coastal flooding. So how fast will the ice collapse, and can we stop it?
Ice sheets may have already passed point of no return
They didn't know it then, but Domack and his expedition colleagues would be some of the last people to see the ice sheet intact in person. By the time they got home to the U.S. about two months later, the ice shelf had nearly completely disintegrated. A plateau of ice measuring 1,250 square miles — an area bigger than Rhode Island — had just collapsed into pieces, shattering like the safety glass of a car's windshield. Warming Air Was Trigger for Antarctic Ice Shelf Collapse
By Tom Yulsman | December 5, 2014 2:30 pm
Earlier this year, new research offered strong evidence that melting of the massive West Antarctic Ice Sheet has passed the point of no return. If true, this means it is now in irreversible retreat and will "collapse," as scientists put it, over the course of 200 years, give or take.
As the ice tumbled into the sea and melted, such a scenario would eventually raise sea level by 16 feet. That's enough to swamp coastal areas where many tens of millions of people live worldwide. Luckily, however, the time frame is long — if not from a geologic perspective, certainly from a societal one.
This week new research has suggested that the melt rate of glaciers in West Antarctica has tripled during the last decade. And another study attempts to show why: According to the research, over the past 40 years, a deep mass of water ringing Antarctica called the Circumpolar Deep Water appears to have warmed. The research also shows that warming CDW waters are intruding more and more to the undersides of glaciers that drain the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, causing them to melt from below, and speeding their passage toward the sea. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet Has Not Collapsed, But New Findings are Concerning. Do they Indicate a 'Climate Crisis'?
Antarctica is gaining land ice and sea ice.
Science says: Satellites measure Antarctica is gaining sea ice but losing land ice at an accelerating rate, which has implications for sea level rise.
Skeptic arguments that Antarctica is gaining ice frequently hinge on an error of omission, namely ignoring the difference between land ice and sea ice.Why is Antarctica gaining sea ice?
Northeastern Canada has been seeing dramatic increases in ice accumulation
Increased Ice Loading In The Antarctic Peninsula Since The 1850s And Its Effect On Glacial Isostatic Adjustment
[1] Antarctic Peninsula (AP) ice core records indicate significant accumulation increase since 1855, and any resultant ice mass increase has the potential to contribute substantially to present-day glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA). We derive empirical orthogonal functions from climate model output to infer typical spatial patterns of accumulation over the AP and, by combining with ice core records, estimate annual accumulation for the period 1855–2010. In response to this accumulation history, high resolution ice-sheet modeling predicts ice thickness increases of up to 45 m, with the greatest thickening in the northern and western AP. ...
[3] In the AP, ice core records suggest an increase in annual accumulation since the 1850s, e.g. the Gomez ice core in Palmer Land (see Figure 1a) indicates a doubling of accumulation during this period [Thomas et al., 2008]. Other ice cores [e.g., Peel, 1992] indicate that increases also occur elsewhere but the rate and magnitude is not uniform across the AP, with more increase seen in the west and north than in the east. ...
[4] We hypothesize that recent accumulation along the AP causes a viscoelastic response of sufficient magnitude that the resulting subsidence could be observed at the surface. This would counteract the predicted uplift due to deglaciation since the LGM, potentially explaining the low rates of present-day uplift observed by GPS [Bevis et al., 2009; Thomas et al., 2011]. This accumulation-related mass increase has not been included in recently reconstructed AP loading histories [e.g., Ivins et al., 2011].
Mass Gains of the Antarctic Ice Sheet Exceed Losses
During 2003 to 2008, the mass gain of the Antarctic ice sheet from snow accumulation exceeded the mass loss from ice discharge by 49 Gtlyr (2.5% of input), as derived from ICESat laser measurements of elevation change. The net gain (86 Gtlyr) over the West Antarctic (WA) and East Antarctic ice sheets (W A and EA) is essentially unchanged from revised results for 1992 to 2001 from ERS radar altimetry. Imbalances in individual drainage systems (DS) are large (-68% to +103% of input), as are temporal changes (-39% to +44%). The recent 90 Gtlyr loss from three DS (Pine Island, Thwaites-Smith, and Marie-Bryd Coast) of WA exceeds the earlier 61 Gtlyr loss, consistent with reports of accelerating ice flow and dynamic thinning. Similarly, the recent 24 Gtlyr loss from three DS in the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) is consistent with glacier accelerations following breakup of the Larsen B and other ice shelves. In contrast, net increases in the five other DS ofWA and AP and three of the 16 DS in East Antarctica (EA) exceed the increased losses.
Are you aware of what net gain and net loss mean?

There's no proof the ice caps are melting? No proof that sea levels are rising and none that if land ice melts into the oceans that it won't raise sea levels?
No, see, this is a form of fear mongering and toying with people's emotions. There is zero--ZERO--proof that what he is using as an example will happen...he's playing in hypotheticals and presenting them in a factual manner. Actually, Antarctica is gaining land ice and sea ice. And while Greenland is losing ice, Northeastern Canada has been seeing dramatic increases in ice accumulation, offsetting the loss of Greenland.
But to be completely honest, we're still apparently on the rebound from the Little Ice Age, so maybe those who built their resorts and homes and businesses next to the ocean (and still continue to do so) should have researched a little better about sea-level fluctuations and natural warming/cooling cycles of the globe.

You can ramble on all you want about 'understanding what's really going on here,' but the truth that you're obviously either too narcisitic or willfully ignorant to admit is that no one has an understand as to what's really going on here, and it'd be best for everyone if you don't play make-believe as if you do.

Your little tantrum test about resident time calculations for CO2 is meaningless. Don't tell me that " if (I) can not [show you a resident time calculation for CO2] in a timely manner it is proof (I am) no expert and the research (I) have done means nothing." In doing so, you come across both as narcissistic and ignorant. The entire internet could give me that information in a split second (and has, many times in the past), so that proves nothing about what I am and am not an expert in.
This discussion with you is about as fruitful as a petrified fig tree. Best regards, but I'm done spending my time on this thread, which just simply regurgitates the same talking points from 1998, over and over again, and where the commentators use language like they're first-year college kids.

Service oriented Architecture (SoA) is a layered architecture for organising software resources as services, so that they can be deployed, discovered and combined to produce new Web services. One of the key challenges of SoA is in identifying the occurrence of failures that may result in violations of Service Level Agreements, causing financial penalties or customer dissatisfaction. Therefore, it is crucial to develop methods of on-line detection of failure to take suitable remedial actions without delay. One of the methods of identifying occurrences of failure is to use Diagnosers; software modules which are deployed with the system to monitor the interaction between the services. This thesis presents a diagnostic approach for SoA based on extending the Diagnosability theory of Discrete Event System (DES). In particular, this research has resulted in a method of automated creation of Diagnosers and integrating them to the system. This is accomplished by coming up with an appropriate modelling language framework, which is a prerequisite to applying DES techniques. Modelling languages popular in DES, such as Petri nets and Automata, despite being sufficiently adequate for modelling, are not well adopted by the SoA community. Inspired by Petri nets and Workflow Graphs, a modeling approach, which closely follows BPEL, is proposed. Then, one of existing DES methods is extended for the creation of centralised Diagnoser. Various methods are proposed to implement and integrate the produced Diagnoser into the system. As a proof of concept, an implementation of the suggested approach is created as a Plugin for Oracle JDeveloper. A series of empirical results on the performance-related aspects of the proposed method are discussed.

Blaze chars exterior of Wyandotte Street apartment
A fire investigator was called to the scene of a blaze at the rear of a Wyandotte Street East commercial and residential complex Monday night.
Fire crews were called to the A2VBUYSELL resale shop at 1075 Wyandotte East just west of Marion Avenue at around 9:15 p.m. after a passerby spotted flames at the rear of a second-floor residential unit.
"Crews found heavy fire coming from the rear of the structure." said Chief Fire Prevention Officer Lee Tome.
"The fire appears to have originated at the rear of the building. At this time it is under investigation. It appears the fire may have originated on the exterior of the structure."
There are two commercial units on the ground floor, both occupied by A2VBUYSELL, and four residential apartments on the second level.
There were some people in the residential units but all managed to escape safely.
Fire crews knocked the fire down quickly and the charred frame of the back porch was still smoldering about 15 minutes after crews arrived.
Fire officials said the fire was caused by "careless disposal of smoking materials."
Damage is estimated at $30,000.

For more than thirty years, Sujoy Guha has been working on a drug called RISUG (Reverse Inhibition of Sperm Under Guidance) that has recently started clinical testing in India. Elaine Lissner brought the idea of RISUG to the United States under the name Vasalgel and is currently raising money for clinical testing. It has already proven very effective in rabbits and baboon trials are currently running. You can find out more information about donating and where they currently are in the trial process here.
Elaine Lissner refers to vasectomies when describing the process of Vasalgel, explaining that "the procedure is similar to a no-scalpel vasectomy." This analogy between the more traditional vasectomy and the new procedure gives some insight into the creative process. The creators of Vasalgel and RISUG used a previous procedure (a vasectomy) as a pattern for creating a less-invasive, cheaper, and more reversible way to get the same result. In fact, they predict that the polymer used for the procedure will be cheaper than the syringe used to administer it.
While Vasalgel seems like it could be the perfect product, it has stumbled during clinical testing because of a lack of funding. Most new drugs get pushed through clinicals by big pharmacy companies hoping to make money on them once they are out on the market. Vasalgel, however, is not intended to make anyone rich. The parent company, Parsemus, plans on charging only enough to keep the company stable, and even want to make sure that the product is covered by insurance. Unfortunately, this means that no big investors are eager to pay for the trials. The product is currently being funded by private donations, and one donor has just agreed to match donations up to $37,000. So even though there hasn't yet been much acceptance in the pharmaceutical business, enough people are interested in the possibility of this new form of birth control to keep the studies going.
Current plans are to start clinical trials on humans late this year and, assuming all goes well, to have it available widely by mid-2016. So look for this innovative new form of birth control in a few years!

Drugbust Near My Home!

Seriously, only 5 minutes away from my parents house. Where am I going to get my good vietnemese marijuana from now? I told my dad to go scope out the house and see if there was anything good left. I will keep you informed on his findings. News article is as follows:
December 4, 2008
Two drug busts in as many days has uncovered more than $2 million worth of marijuana in the city.
Yesterday, members of the Waterloo Regional Police drug branch raided a home on Delevan Drive and seized approximately 900 marijuana plants. Police also found a hydro and water metre bypass.
On Tuesday, a search warrant was executed at a Granite Hill Road home, where 1,254 plants were found and home growing equipment.
Police noted the home was close to a school and the area was closed down while the search warrant was executed.
No arrests have been made and the investigation continues.
Olaf Heinzel, public affairs co-ordinator for Waterloo Regional Police, said there isn't a definitive link between the two grow operations, but police aren't ruling out the possibility.
"They are certainly similar in the size and the equipment used, and geographically, they are in similar areas, but it would be premature to draw a conclusion that two are linked," he said. "We are going to explore all the options while we seek the individuals."

Workers' Party and Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC) chairman Sylvia Lim on Friday aimed a follow-up shot in the latest of an enlarging ongoing spat between the town council and those run by Singapore's ruling People's Action Party (PAP).
In a statement published on the AHTC's website, Lim challenged the PAP and its subsidiary company Action Information Management Pte Ltd to come clean on why the town councils sold and leased their computer systems back from them.
Earlier, local media reported that the PAP Town Councils defended the sale of its management systems to AIM, with coordinating chairman Teo Ho Pin saying that its transactions followed regulations.
The deal involved the sale of software, while the ownership of hardware remained with all the town councils, he reportedly said.
In a letter, he explained that in 2010 they called an open tender to which AIM submitted the sole bid though five companies collected the tender agreement.
Meanwhile, AIM described Lim's allegation that the opposition-run council had to fight for an extension as "inaccurate".
Service extensions were granted by AIM twice, once in August and once in September 2011, and since AHTC did not ask for a further extension, the contract lapsed, it said.
Responding to what they said on Friday, Lim said it was "regrettable" that Teo's and Chandra Das's statements were "calculated to side-step the most critical question of how the public interest was served" in the scenario they had created through the sale of the management systems.
"What justification was there for the Town Councils to relinquish ownership (of the systems) and leave the continuity of the Town Council operations at the mercy of a third party? Residents all over Singapore have a right to know," she wrote.
Noting that Teo had admitted that AIM was "fully-owned" by the PAP, Lim pointed out further that the PAP-managed town councils "had seen it fit to sell away their ownership of the systems, developed with public funds, to a political party, which presumably could act in its own interests when exercising its rights to terminate the contracts".
Controversy reignited
Public debate over the matter ensued after questions were raised over how AHTC's computer and financial systems were placed under the control of AIM.
In a post in his blog Yawning Bread last Friday, Alex Au said the issue "has the potential to be a big story, causing enormous damage to the People's Action Party (PAP)".
Controversy first erupted earlier this month when the Ministry of National Development (MND) released its latest town council management report, singling out the AHTC with a "red" rating for its handling of service and conservancy charge (S&CC) arrears.
The council was not rated for its corporate governance due to its lateness in submitting its auditor's management letter "material to the banding of the corporate governance indicator", the ministry said.
WP's response
Responding to the report, AHTC chair Sylvia Lim, who is also chairman of the Workers' Party, noted the fact that the town council's audit took longer than expected because of its need to develop a new computer and financial system from scratch.
In a statement released on 14 December, the same day the town council management review was published, she explained that as her party was taking over the town council in the wake of their success at last year's election, it was informed that its existing computer and financial systems would be terminated from 1 August 2011, "due to material changes to the membership of the Town Council".
She pointed out also that the systems, having been developed collectively by the 14 PAP town councils over a period of more than 15 months, were in January last year sold to a company called M/s Action Information Management Pte Ltd (AIM). The town councils then leased the systems back from AIM, paying the company fees every month for the usage of the computer systems — and a report from online socio-political site TR Emeritus said these payments would have to come from the S&CC paid by residents.
When the sale and lease-back occurred, AIM was empowered by its prevailing service agreement to terminate the systems contract with any of the town councils within a single month's notice in the event of a "material change" to its composition, which is what happened with AHTC. Given the circumstances, Lim said in comparison to the "more than 15 months" that the 14 town councils spent collectively developing a finance and computer system, the AHTC was left with a two-month timeframe to develop its own equivalent systems.
Describing it as a "near-impossible task", Lim said her town council had to prioritise the development of its financial system into phases, resulting in a delay for its audit.
Firm's directors
Further, a second report from the alternative news website noted its discovery that AIM consisted of just three people, all of whom were former PAP Members of Parliament — its chairman, S Chandra Das, and directors Lau Ping Sum and Chew Heng Ching.
The company had a total paid-up capital of just $2, with $1 held in shares by Chandra Das, and the other $1 owned by Lau, according to the report showing the firm's business filing with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority.
"As (Lim) pointed out, the questions have to be: Why did the PAP Town Councils relinquish ownership of the computer and financial system, and how much did they sell it to AIM for?" asked Au. "It was probably developed with taxpayer money by the 14 town councils, with much input and support from taxpayer-paid town council staff, unless — and it is hard to believe — the PAP paid for the development of the system."
Terms used in contract
Another issue that was raised involved the nature of the contract signed when the town councils collectively sold the computer systems to AIM, allowing the firm to terminate the contract with just a month's notice "should there be a material change to the composition of the town council".
"As (Lim) asked: 'How is it in the public interest to have such a thing (the contract terms)?'" wrote Au.
"What price was it sold to AIM for? How was that price arrived at? Was there competitive tendering?" he asked in succession. Au added further the questions of how acting for partisan advantage is in the best interest of the residents of the constituency, as well as whether or not the priority should be to ensure that the systems in the town councils continue accordingly.
* Report from Yahoo news.
[UPDATE on 28 December 2012: adding AHTC chairman follow-up response]

Recently, the Android Wear operating system got an update that was somewhat overdue in coming.
One of the first things of note was the fact that there is no longer a card covering the main watch face. It was ok having a card covering half of the face at times; however, it really detracted from the idea of having a watch. Now, instead of having a card always peeking up, you just have to swipe up to bring the first card up.
Second, Google Play music is now available on the watch. With a pair of Bluetooth headphones, you can listen to music straight from your watch.
Third, when streaming music, there always was a card that showed you what was playing, and if you kept swiping, to the left you would find other controls. Now, a swipe to the left brings up four different buttons: one to skip forward, one to skip backwards, and two to adjust the volume.
All in all, this was an update that really increases the usability of Android Wear supported devices.

Has anyone other than Ms. Winchester died on the premises? and has the ghost "worker" been identified?
Thanks so much for posting this. It is fascinating though, sad.
- said...
Am I insane or can I REALLY see the shape of a person at the end of the hall?
- Stephen said...
The ghost worker isn't really identified by name, but several witnesses indicated that it looked like one of the men in a photograph of the Winchester carpenters.
I don't know of any deaths other than Mrs. Winchester's, but the estate was a farm and construction site so it's likely there were more.
- said...
You said "Officially"...what are the rumours amongst the employees?
This is a great site. I went to the Winchester House when I was 12, and I've always wanted to go back. That poor sad woman left a fascinating legacy. Thanks for posting all of this.
- Stephen said...
Allison- there are lots of stories that get passed around (weird noises, feelings, lights turning on and off). These stories aren't part of the tour because they aren't well substantiated, and the tour aims to concentrate on historical and architectural details. However, if you take one of the flashlight tours at Halloween you'll hear a few good ones.
The reason this is an "official" ghost story is that it was reported by several guides and a guest. It's only told on the extra 'behind the scenes' tour that goes into the basement.
For what its worth, I've been alone in the house many times (once in the middle of the night), and never experienced anything unexplainable. I'd prefer to think that Mrs. Winchester found peace in the afterlife.

Anees Bazmee is all set to direct the sequel to 'Aankhen' (1993), titled 'Aankhen Char'. It will be produced by Pahlaj Nihalani.
'Aankhen Chor' will be going on the floors in August this year. Confirming the news, Nihalani told Times Of India, "Anees has written Shola Aur Shabnam, Aazad, Andaaz and Andhiyan apart from Aankhen for me and it would be great to have him direct the sequel. He has a flair for comedy. Also, let's not forget that Anees knows the pulse of the audience and ensures good box-office returns."
The star cast and film details will be announced shortly. The original was directed by David Dhawan – the master of the comedy genre and starred Govinda in a double role. However, Nihalani plans to tweak the script a bit so that both the heroes are in double roles.
Bazmee's other film – the 'No Entry' sequel has been postponed until next year.

Businessweek has this article about the growth of cell phones in rural India. Businessweek has a history of gushing over the latest fad in town and this article is part of the India, China series. Since I don't live in a cave I am well aware of the explosion of cellphones in urban India. The extent of this explosion can be gauged from this little statistic from the article.
"…India's mobile phone user base has exploded to 105 million today from 5 million in 2001…"
But the story, as always, had been different in rural India. Since the beginning of this year wireless circles have been abuzz with stories about the $4 billion BSNL mega contract. A chunk of the 60 million GSM lines that BSNL is planning to roll out are meant for underserved rural regions. According to this article other Indian wireless operators are also planning huge expansions.
"...Another major India telecom, Reliance Infocomm, is expected to invest around $550 million through the end of the decade, mainly outside of major urban centers.
Tata Teleservices will spend $214 million this year on infrastructure, network expansion, and transmission, according to CEO Darryl Green. On top of that, Bharti Airtel, India's largest wireless player, will devote $1.8 to $2 billion in 2007 on similar expansions...."
The good news is that call rates are so low in India (2 cents or 90 paise per minute) that wireless service will be within the reach of all but the extremely poor in rural India. Bad news is that handsets are not all that cheap.
"Nokia, for instance, sells about 45 models in India. Yet its biggest seller, accounting for 15% of sales in India, is the basic 1100 model for $44 that is turning heads in villages like Latur. Motorola will launch a handset for under $30 in October. "
Even $30 (Rs.1350) is not an insignificant amount of money. The monthly salaries of instructors at a school funded by DridSankalp are in the Rs.3000 range. So buying a cellphone even at these highly reduced prices would be equivalent to buying moderately expensive furtniture for an engineer in the US. Not something that can be bought on a whim. And these instructors would fall in the rural middle class category. For poorer people even a $30 handset would be extremely expensive. I hope some service provider will be smart and brave enough to provide phones on credit. I also wonder if it would be possible to recycle used handsets from Indian cities for around $10-15 dollars.
Ofcourse, having a cellphone or being able to make a call is not an end in itself. How beneficial will this access to communication be? Apart from the obvious benefit of being able to be in touch with friends and family, can this increased access give rise to new and novel applications completely unique to rural India?

The children opened their new matching pajamas last night.
We have had the most fun family day! The children woke up about 6:15...well all of them except for Sam. I think he slept until about 6:45. We spent the morning leisurely opening presents and playing with new toys. Santa brings each child one new gift each year, and after the children play with their new item for a little while, they begin opening presents from Jimmy and me and from each other. Olivia and Julie had a handmade gift for everyone in our family. This year, all of the presents were opened before lunch. I prepared a special breakfast and late lunch. We stayed in our pajamas all day, and we just enjoyed the slow pace of visiting, eating, and playing with new toys and games.
Clay with a new Lego set
Julie with a book from Leah
Sleepy Leah looking at what Santa brought her....a basket filled with stationery, markers, pens, stickers, and special notebooks and notepads.
Sam--with a mouth full of candy! He spent the entire morning eating the contents of his stocking!
Olivia and Julie modeling the gifts they made each other --Julie made Olivia's hat, and Olivia made Julie's bag.
Olivia with the raccoon that Sam gave her
Leah wearing the hat that Julie made for her
Happy Jimmy!
These are the slippers that Olivia made for Jimmy.
I spent my day drinking about 5000 calories worth of mocha punch, helping the children with their new toys, cooking, cleaning the kitchen, and.....playing Scrabble on my iPhone with family and friends. I had 4 games going today!
The Aftermath!
Merry Christmas!
