With his full red beard and pale complexion, Gregory Shvedov could be taken for a nineteenth-century Russian novelist. Yet 35-year-old Shvedov is an editor fiercely committed to independent journalism at a time when international media monitors rank Russia as among the world's most dangerous countries for reporters.
In 2001, Shvedov founded Caucasian Knot (Kavkazkii Uzel), which since its launch in 2001 has become the leading independent source of news, in Russian and English, about the Caucasus. The site has some fifty local correspondents working in twenty locations in the conflict-ridden region—a patchwork quilt of Russian and independent republics including Chechnya, Dagestan and Azerbaijan.
Since the end of the Soviet Union in 1991, this vast and complex region has been ravaged by civil war, occupation, violence, torture, kidnappings, terrorism, corruption, rising unemployment and growing Islamic radicalism. After September 11, 2001, by aligning himself with President George W. Bush's "global war on terror," President Vladimir Putin was able to largely silence international criticism of Russia's actions in the Chechen war. In these last years, there has been woefully little international coverage of the region.
Caucasian Knot therefore plays a critical role. Yet it doesn't even have an editorial office in the Caucasus or Moscow, where Shvedov is based. It is too dangerous. Reporters who cover the Caucasus are at greater risk of being killed, beaten or threatened. In 2006, Novaya Gazeta's Anna Politkovskaya, whose investigative reporting exposed atrocities against civilians by Chechnya's Russian-backed authorities, was gunned down in the lobby of her Moscow apartment building. One of Caucasian Knot's reporters was killed under suspicious circumstances in a car accident, and last year another was seriously assaulted. And on April 4, Novaya Gazeta's investigative reporter Elena Milashina, who has reported on disappearances and torture in the North Caucacus, was brutally beaten near her Moscow apartment. Shvedov is acutely aware of the dangers his reporters faces, but he refuses to stop testing the limits of Russia's freedom of the press.
One protection he has devised is the virtual office. Caucasian Knot's correspondents use free Google programs so that they can be connected even as they are dispersed throughout the region. Some of the site's reporters publish anonymously, though they are still at risk because they call government officials, ask tough questions and openly go to places where they aren't wanted. And a virtual office hasn't stopped the harassment. Recently Shvedov denied the Russian Interior Ministry's request for the IP address of someone who had commented on one of the site's articles. And there have been official attempts at online censorship via Internet attacks. At a recent conference on US-Russian journalism, Shvedov expressed concerns that after President Putin's inauguration in May there may be "quiet, soft attempts" to censor the Internet. He does not believe they will heavy-handed because the Russian government wants to avoid China's far more repressive model of Internet censorship.

New Music: Jermaine Dupri Feat. Ty Dolla Sign And Migos 'Pull-Up'
Believe it or not, Jermaine Dupri has one of the more underrated legacies in hip-hop, spearheading classic albums by Usher and Mariah Carey as well as being the figurehead for So So Def. Rarely releasing music under his own name, Dupri assumes command once more for "Pull Up", the lead single from his upcoming EP featuring Ty Dolla $ign and Migos. JD's not delivering a verse or two here as if it were Life In 1472 all over again but he let's Migos and Ty Dolla float all over this about not wifing strippers, taking trips and being better than anybody else.

"Hey, Andy, this is Bill. I know that we have an early afternoon tee-time, but I have a favor to ask." Andy looked at his phone quizzically. Bill was the guy everyone else went to for favors. If Bill was asking, he must be desperate.
Without hesitation, Andy answered Bill. "Hey, man, what's the problem?" A flurry of potential disasters rushed through Andy's head.
"Well, Emma fell the other day," started Bill. Before Andy could interrupt, Bill quickly interjected, "She says she fine, but she's still sore. You know my wife, she just refuses to see any doctor."
Andy laughed with relief as he ran his hand through his thinning, dark hair. "Yeah, I know. It takes six months of badgering to get her in for her annual physical. Do you want me to stop at the house before I meet you at the club?"
"That would be so wonderful of you." Bill sighed audibly. "I'm sure she's fine, but she has looked a little peaked recently. It's probably just work, but you know how she is. I'll get us later tee-tie, ok?""
Andy definitely knew how Emma was. Just thinking about her long dark hair and the floral scent that clung to her even after she had spent an hour sweating at the gym made Andy wish the Bill wasn't such a nice guy. Remembering the lively conversation he and Emma had over their weekly lunch forced Andy to shift in his seat.
"What time is she going into the office?" Andy asked as he tried to distract himself.
"I convinced her to take the day off. When ever you're able to get over there, she'll be there," Bill reassured Andy. "I asked her to stay at home ... I didn't tell her that I was going to call you. I'll let her know that you're coming though."
Andy looked at his appointment book. He only had a few patients this morning and he had cleared his afternoon for his golf outing with Bill. "No, problem, Bill. I'll make sure that she didn't damage anything seriously and then I'll meet you at the club."
Andy's morning appointments flew by. The most taxing patient was Mrs. Simmons who insisted that her child needed antibiotics for his allergies. People just didn't seem to understand that antibiotics are not a cure-all. By 11:30, Andy's waiting room was empty and he told his head nurse Linda that he was taking off.
The drive to Bill and Emma's house was relaxing. Only a few cars traveled the suburban streets. Andy hummed happily to the radio and sat in the driveway of the cookie cutter house. When his song finished, Andy turned off the car and then reached into his backseat for his "little black bag", which was actually a small green backpack.
After ringing the doorbell and receiving no answer, Andy turned the knob. The door swung open readily. "Emma must be in the pool and left the door open for me," Andy rationalized as he walked through the house.
"Emma? Emma? It's Andy. Bill asked me to come by." Not finding Emma in the back, Andy searched the main floor. When he still couldn't locate her, he checked the garage to make sure she really was at home. Finding Emma's hybrid in the garage, Andy decided to search upstairs.
Upstairs, Andy found Emma in the large master bathroom. Eye closed, she appeared to sleeping in the large tub. The dissipating bubbles revealed one dark nipple and a smooth knee. Emma's wet hair snaked down her back, except for one lock that curled down her round face.
"Emma? Emma?" Andy called.
Deep brown eyes immediately popped open. Emma's arms emerged from the water and tossed her earphones onto the floor. Emma's eyes widened as she started to jump out of the bath, granting Andy a brief glance of water running down her breasts.
"Ur, ah uhm ..." Andy stammered as he quickly looked down at his feet. He hoped that Emma wouldn't notice his body's reaction to her.
"Andy! What the hell are you doing here? Oh..." Emma submerged her body again in order to cover herself.
"Bill, told me that you fell and wanted me to come over and he told me that he'd call you ..." Andy barely breathed. "I, uhm, I'll ... why don't I just let you get dress?"
"I'll meet you downstairs."
As Andy practically raced downstairs, he felt his cock stiffening involuntarily. Reminding himself that he had seen naked bodies before and that he was here in a professional facility didn't quell the turmoil in his body. In her shock, Emma's wet lips formed the most enticing "O." Andy couldn't help but imagine how well he would fit in there.
When Emma came downstairs, Andy was reciting the list of the monarchs of England in his mind. Looking up, he saw Emma wrapped in a fluffy bathrobe. To both his relief and disappointment, the only skin that he saw was her bare feet.
"Bill asked me to check in on you," Andy explained again.
Emma laughed musically. "He's always worrying. Andy, I'm telling you that I'm fine."
"He said that fell and hurt yourself and that you've been feeling a bit worn down?"
"My foot is fine. As for feeling worn down, it's probably a cold or allergies or something. Really, Andy, you didn't need to come all the way out here." Emma dried her long hair with the towel in her hands. Her dark lashes shadowed her eyes. Flipping her damp hair back, Emma tried to reassure Andy. "Really, I AM fine." A few stray hairs curled around Emma's neck. Mistaking Andy's hungry stare, Emma relented. "Fine! Have a look!"
Emma sat on one of the kitchen stools and raised her leg. The thick robe fell open revealing her smooth thigh. Andy wrapped his strong, warm hands around Emma's foot.
"Tell me if this hurts." Andy began rotating and pressing Emma's ankle. His hands moved up her shin, massaging her calf. "Anything?" Andy asked as he looked into Emma's face.
Emma closed eyes provided Andy with the wicked satisfaction that she was enjoying his ministrations. Wanting to see how far he could push his luck, Andy began working his way up Emma's long leg. His fingers pressed sharply into her flesh, leaving white marks on her tanned skin.
When his hands passed her knee, Emma gasped. Andy quickly pulled his hands away.
"Everything seems to be alright." Andy quickly stated. Hiding the red suffusing his face, Andy fished his stethoscope out of his bag.
"OK, take a deep breath." Andy pressed the stethoscope to Emma's thick robe. "Emma, your robe is too think, I can't hear your lungs ..."
Emma rolled her eyes, "Yes, doctor." As she loosened her robe the round tops of her breasts showed clearly. Andy blew on the stethoscope to warm it. Emma breathed deeply as he pressed the stethoscope to her sternum.
As he moved to listen from behind her, Emma let the top of her robe fall to her waist. The sunlight streaming through the large windows made Emma's smooth skin glisten. Her dark nipples hardened in the cool air. Andy's warm hands caressed Emma's throat as she swallowed for him.
"Your lungs are fine." Emma shot Andy a look of superiority. "Bill said that you were feeling under the weather?"
Emma stared into Andy's dark, brown eyes. "I haven't been getting enough exercise. That's all, doctor." Emma's dark brown eyes captured Andy's. He couldn't look away, even if he had wanted to. Grabbing Andy's shirt and pulling him toward her, Emma lowered her voice. "Want to help me get some exercise, Doctor?"
Her soft red lips pressed against his. Andy's mouth felt suddenly dry until Emma parted his lips with her tongue. Her wet tongue moistened his mouth. Unconsciously, he hands tangled in her damp hair as he pulled her closer to him. He drank in her saliva before biting her lip.
His deft hands pulled at the belt of her robe. Andy's eyes twinkled as he grinned devilishly at Emma. Stepping back, he opened her robe completely revealing her long legs and her thatch of dark hair where they met.
Spreading her legs, Emma grabbed Andy again and pulled him close to her. Grabbing his waist with her legs, she ground her hot, wet mound against his pants. As she kissed him deeply, Emma pressed her hips against Andy enjoying the rising effect that she was having. Emma delighted in the power she had over him, her ability to make him hard because SHE desired him to be so.
"So, Doctor ... what shall we do?" Emma licked her lips as she looked into Andy's wonderful brown eyes. Desire and conflict were clearly written across his face. While Andy hesitated, Emma compressed her lips forcefully against his. She felt his muscles tense a moment before relaxing.
Andy's mouth opened willingly as Emma's tongue plunged to meet his. Emma felt Andy's heart pounding against her chest. Laughing into his mouth, Emma pulled the tails of Andy's shirt from his pants before pushing him far enough away that she could unbutton his shirt.
Andy closed his eyes to better enjoy Emma's long fingernails trail down his chest. Running her thumbnail over Andy's nipple, Emma growled as it pulled tight. Leaning forward, she grabbed the nipple with her lips. Using just the pressure of her mouth, Emma drew Andy closer to her.
"So, Doctor, are all of your house calls like this?" Emma's dark eyes sparkled as she looked into Andy's face. The desire that she built in him reflected equally strong in her face.
"Oh, no." Andy began, "They are much more like THIS ..." Andy grabbed Emma's waist. Her robe fell completely to the floor. Andy set her on the kitchen counter and spread her legs wide. Unbuttoning the top of his Khakis and pulling down his zipper, Andy didn't bother undressing. His hard cock strained against the fabric of his dark blue boxers. "I think I should check you temperature. Open wide." Andy pulled his shaft out of the fly of his boxers before unceremoniously ramming himself deep inside Emma's waiting hole.
The power of his lust overtook him. He didn't register the juices that ran out of Emma's waiting sex. He lost himself to the pleasure of her soft walls gripping him tightly. He floundered in his own passion, not noticing Emma's loud wails or the trails of blood her nails left on his back, sides and chest. Emma's contractions push Andy over the top. As he pumped his semen into her waiting body, Emma bucked and thrusted against Andy. Her legs hugged him tightly to her as she panted against his chest.
"Emma, I've wanted to be with you for as long as I've known you. I've imagined us together, but not like this..." Andy swept Emma's hair away from her sweaty brow. She looked questioningly at him. "It's not that ... it's just that ... I want just want to enjoy you enjoying yourself. Does that make any sense?" Andy looked into Emma's reddened face. He knew that she had an orgasm, but that wasn't enough.
"Andy, I did enjoy myself." Emma emphasized her statement by pulling Andy toward her for a deep kiss.
"Do you trust me?" Andy asked. Emma nodded and smiled at Andy. Andy draped Emma's robe around her naked body and picked her up. Andy answered Emma's questioning look by simply telling her to trust him.
Andy carried Emma into the downstairs guest room. Gently placing her on the bed, Andy kissed her softly. He tasted the salt of her sweat and smelled her sex. Smiling at her, Andy efficiently removed his clothing.
"This is what I wanted to start with ..." Andy knelt between Emma's unresisting thighs. Smiling at her soft murmur, Andy happily lapped at Emma. As Andy gently licked her puffy lips, Emma began squirming from pleasure. Laughing into her velvety mound, Andy pulled Emma's legs over his shoulder and deeply kissed her engorged clitoris. His tongue flicked it roughly causing her to spasm uncontrollably.
Emma's fingers tangled into Andy's hair and drew him closer. She tried to pull him into her. Her legs clasped him closely. As her thighs began to quiver, Andy began drinking the juices that flowed freely from Emma. Sticking his tongue into her honey pot, Andy felt Emma's vaginal walls grasp him.
"Oh, Andy. You're the best to ever ... ooooooo..." Andy couldn't help but laugh as Emma completely lost control. Her fingers flexed uncontrollably on his scalp. Her hips bucked forcefully so he wrapped his arms around her waist to keep her from pulling away. Andy watched Emma's face contort with pleasure. Instead of crying out, Emma bit her lip. Even with her thighs muffling sounds, Andy could hear Emma's guttural groans and moans.
Sweat streaked Emma's body. Her breasts bounced heavily as her body quaked. Watching her loose control excited Andy. He felt his cock harden again. Peeling Emma's legs from his neck, Andy draped his body against hers. He felt her twitch under him as Emma's body continued to be rocked by her climax.
Quickly entering her wet grotto, Andy felt Emma's pull on his penis. As she clutched him to her, Emma began rotating her hips. Andy thrust into Emma until she began laughing uncontrollably. Her arms flailed until he restrained them. Her body quivered and grabbed him tightly.
"Andy," Emma spoke breathlessly, "I ... no more ... I can't ... oh God ..." Unable to finish her sentence, Emma's eyes rolled to the back of her head as another orgasm crashed through her body. Taking pity on Emma's poor over exerted body, Andy pushed himself deeply into her and let himself be carried on the tide of her climax. Feeling her body respond to his, Andy added to her wetness with his own. He waited several minutes for Emma's body to calm before pulling out. Smiling at Emma's closed eyes, Andy kissed Emma's eyelids gently.
"You seem to have gotten a few hours exercise today. You've gotta keep that blood flowing," Andy teased. Looking at the clock, Andy cursed, "I need to meet up with Bill at the club." Unable to think or respond Emma rolled over exhausted as Andy pulled the covers over her wet body. He bent and kissed her lips gently before dressing.
"Are you still coming for dinner tomorrow?" Emma asked quietly as Andy started toward the door.
"Don't you think that would be ... akward?"
"It would be stranger if you didn't come," Emma giggled girlishly , "to dinner I mean. You've been having dinner with us for the last two years. I mean unless, you don't want to..."
At the club, Andy apologized to Bill for being late. "I'm sorry, I got busy."
"Were you able to stop by the house and see Emma?" Bill mistook Andy's blush, "Andy, you know that she won't come in and see you. That woman is so damn stubborn sometimes."
"Oh, Bill, don't worry. I stopped by the house and gave Emma a little something

The study aims to use a combined clinical and translational approach to identify an efficient pharmacotherapy for the acute management of suicidality and the epigenetic regulation associated with the treatment.The primary objective is a clinical trial to compare the efficacy of paliperidone versus lithium and placebo as adjunctive therapy to the standard of care antidepressants in the acute management of suicidality in depressed subjects.
Specific Aims 1 and 2 are described in detail below. Analysis for Specific Aim 2 is still underway.
|Condition or disease
|Major Depressive Disorder Suicidal Ideation
|Drug: paliperidone Drug: lithium Drug: Placebo
|Phase 4
Specific Aim 1: The atypical antipsychotic, paliperidone, when initiated simultaneously with an antidepressant, is superior to lithium plus antidepressant in the early intervention of suicidality in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The goal of this aim is to examine the clinical efficacy of paliperidone in reducing suicidality, with a focus on early intervention. The hypothesis is based on our recently completed pilot study in which we found that the atypical antipsychotic, risperidone, had a rapid onset of action to reduce suicidality in patients with MDD. In view of a shortage in acute pharmacological management of suicidality, this study will provide an important new treatment option for the life threatening psychiatric condition.
Specific Aim 2: Both paliperidone and lithium regulate epigenetics by stabilizing DNA methylation, which is correlated with inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) activity and improved clinical symptoms. This exploratory aim is developed based on the recent findings that DNA methylation is involved in regulation of mood, behavior, and cognition, and the enzyme of this epigenetic mechanism - DNA methyltransferase-1 (DNMT1) is regulated by the therapeutic target Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3). We will measure the expression of DNMTs and DNA methylation of global DNA, Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and Tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) in peripheral blood before and after study drug treatment, and analyze their correlation with GSK3 activity and clinical symptoms in response to treatment. Outcomes from this study will provide important new information in future development of more effective treatment options for suicidality targeting epigenetic regulation.

- Mean Score of Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation of Three Treatment Groups (Paliperidone, Lithium and Placebo) After 3 Months of Treatment [ Time Frame: baseline to 12 weeks ]The Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation will be used to measure the efficacy of the study drugs. The primary outcome measure is the Beck Suicide Scale Self Report. The primary outcome measure is the Beck Suicide Scale Self Report. It has 21 questions (subscales) with values ranging from 0-2. Therefore the total score ranges from 0-42, with lower scores indicating better outcomes. The subscales were summed to achieve a total score.
- Mean Score of Montgomery-Asberg Depression Scale of Three Treatment Groups (Paliperidone, Lithium and Placebo) After 3 Months of Treatment [ Time Frame: baseline to 12 weeks ]The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale will be used to measure depressive symptoms to determine the efficacy of the study drugs. It has 10 items (subscales) ranging from 0-6. Therefore the total score ranges from 0-60, with lower scores indicating better outcomes. The subscales were summed for a total score.

Civil Rights Lawyers
Wage & Hour Claims
Are you being paid what you are owed?
Overtime. Oregon law requires employers to pay employees for overtime hours worked unless the employer can show that the employee is exempt from overtime laws. Hours that contribute to overtime may include time spent working off-site, off-the-clock or "on-call."
Final Paychecks. Oregon law requires employers to provide your final paycheck within strict time periods or face mandatory penalties for late payment.
Internships. Oregon law requires employers to pay a minimum wage for almost all employees. Interns are sometimes excluded where they are receiving another kind of benefit from the internship experience. But if your internship is failing to provide you with a true learning experience you may be entitled to unpaid wages. Especially, if your employer is using the free labor of interns to do work that a regular employee would have been paid to perform.
You are entitled to be compensated for all the hours you work.

Marine services provider Harbor Star Shipping Services, Inc. (HSSI) reported a 49% surge in net income for 2016 as a result of stronger operating income and positive performances by most of its services.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, HSSI said net income for 2016 reached P100.9 million from P67.7 million in 2015.
Likewise, consolidated service income grew 30.8% to P1.4 billion in 2016 from P1 billion in the previous year. HSSI said the growth was due to increased ship calls in major ports, consummation of a construction contract entered into in 2015, several high-value towing and salvage contracts, and the revenue contribution of Malaysian tugboat operator Peak Flag Sdn. Bhd, where HSSI owns a 45% stake.
The positive indicators were partially offset by the decrease in income from lighterage services resulting from the decline in mining activities. Revenues from lighterage services, which contributed 7.8% to the total, fell 47.7% to P105.972 million from P202.430 million.
Harbor assistance, which accounted for 76.7% of the group's total revenues, generated P1 billion in 2016, or 40.7% higher than the P741.914 million earned in 2015.
Registering one of the highest increases in 2016 was towing services, which earned P64.3 million, 280.3% up from P16.894 million in 2015 and equivalent to 4.7% of the total.
Earning the highest last year was construction contracts, which posted a 355% rise to P57.466 million from P12.629 million.
Revenue from salvage operations amounting to P39.9 million registered a 28.3% increment from P31.060 million, equivalent to 2.9% of the total revenue.
Revenues from other marine services hit P49.6 million, 40.5% higher than the P35.317 million delivered in 2015.
Cost of services grew last year by 37.7% to P956.6 million from P694.6 million in 2015.
As of December 2016, Harbor Star has established operations in 15 base ports all over the country, providing services to 10,549 ships as of the end of that year. The major ports it services include Manila International Container Terminal, Bataan, Batangas, Cagayan de Oro, and Davao.
The company manages a fleet of 40 domestically and internationally classed tugboats, five barges, a cargo vessel, an oil spill response vessel, and an anchor-handling tug supply vessel.
For 2017, the group said its capital expenditure is expected to be around P1 billion, which will go to acquiring tugboats for domestic and international fleet expansion, shipyard business, domestic chassis roll-on roll-off shuttle services, and a renewable- energy project.
The group expects to fund these capital expenditures partly through planned follow-on offering and fund raising activities and a combination of internally generated funds and bank financing.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that cell phone searches conducted by law enforcement officials without a warrant are unconstitutional, in part because of the potential for phones to contain personal health care data, Modern Healthcare reports.
The ruling overturns a decision by a California state appeals court after a criminal conviction in a case, Riley v. California, and upholds a federal appeals court decision to strike down a criminal conviction in United States v. Wurie.
According to Modern Healthcare, the original convictions in both cases were obtained using data collected by law enforcement officials from the defendants' cell phones, which were confiscated at the time of their arrests.
At issue in the Supreme Court case was whether the law enforcement officials' cell phone searches violated the Fourth Amendment, which states, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures."
In the opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that cell phones differ from other evidence collected and searched by law enforcement, such as a wallet, purse or car.
He noted that their data are "qualitatively different" and that cell phones have large storage abilities and are able to connect to online servers and cloud-based storage systems (Conn, Modern Healthcare, 6/26).
For example, the ruling noted that an individual's cell phone might show an "Internet search and browsing history" that could "reveal an individual's private interests or concerns — perhaps a search for certain symptoms of disease, coupled with frequent visits to WebMD."
Further, the ruling stated that cell phones can track an individual's every movement and contain applications that could reveal "alcohol, drug and gambling addictions" or the individual's pregnancy status or desire to become pregnant (Barbash, Washington Post, 6/26).
Therefore, the court ruled that "a warrant is generally required before a [cell phone] search" (Modern Healthcare, 6/26).
Roberts wrote, "We cannot deny that our decision today will have an impact on the ability of law enforcement to combat crime." However, he added that "[m]odern cell phones are not just another technological convenience. With all they contain and all they may reveal, they hold for many Americans 'the privacies of life'" (Vijayan, Computerworld, 6/25).
Health care privacy specialists say the ruling likely will have broader implications in the health care industry.
According to Modern Healthcare, it could become a guide for privacy advocates and health care stakeholders as they grapple with consent rights over who can access patients' medical records. Jim Pyles, a principal attorney at Powers Pyles Sutter Verville, said that the ruling "should be very good news for those of us who do believe patients should have control over who sees their health care information."
Pyles added that the ruling could affect current discussions by HHS' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration regarding potential changes to privacy protections to facilitate the sharing of substance misuse data.
Meanwhile, Adam Greene, a privacy lawyer with Davis Wright Tremaine, said he does not foresee "any immediate potential impact for the health care industry." However, he said the ruling "sets up precedent in the government having a very strong stake in protecting patient privacy above other interests" (Modern Healthcare, 6/26).

Hailing from Anchorage Alaska, Bearfoot is fast-rising on the acoustic music scene. The band features three part vocal harmony, solid rhythm and soloing on mandolin and guitar, twin fiddles, and acoustic bass. Their repertoire ranges from the band's original contemporary acoustic songs to fast paced instrumentals to arrangements of traditional tunes. Bearfoot has a lively and engaging stage presence with an appeal that crosses generations - from younger audiences to older and traditional bluegrass fans.
They have never been your typical band. In September of 1999, 6 teenagers assembled in Anchorage, Alaska to form Bearfoot Bluegrass. Two months later they were performing for 20,000 people at the National FFA convention in Kentucky. No one was more amazed at their success than the band members themselves.
"Great fiddling, snappy mandolin and guitar picking, all with a youthful sound. Led by some truly great singing...this Alaska quintet manages to sound both fresh and polished." Country Music Today. "...the future of these young pickers is one of unlimited promise." --Bluegrass Unlimited
With their most recent recording, "Follow Me," there is a definite shift in the band's musical direction. They dropped the bluegrass from their name and have ventured out into the world of acoustic Americana. Their beginning as a bluegrass band still shows through as they play the fire out of their instruments on up-tempo numbers like the title track, "Follow Me." "It's hard to tell which is a bigger selling point for Bearfoot... their tight harmonies or their stellar instrumentals."-- Kathy Boyd, Ground Zero Sound and Promotions

Early Abortion Options for You in NYC
The medically induced abortion – commonly called "the abortion pill" is a form of early pregnancy termination successfully used around the world since 1988 and approved in the US in 2000. For some women this offers a safe, effective and non-invasive alternative to surgical abortion. The abortion pill actually consists of two sets of medication: Mifepristone (RU 486) which stops the development of the pregnancy and Misoprostol (Cytotec) which causes the miscarriage to begin. By taking these two medications under the direction of an OBGYN, women are able to end a pregnancy as early as 4 ½ weeks up until 10 weeks with limited risk of complication. Because there is no anesthesia and no surgical instruments inserted into the uterus or cervix many women feel that it is a more natural feeling process which allows them more privacy and the comfort of home.


text: It was news that shook the English-speaking world. Celebrated British explorer Sir John Franklin and his crew of 128 men had perished in the Arctic ice during an ill-fated attempt to discover the Northwest Passage. More shocking, they had descended into madness and cannibalism. The report came in 1851, from John Rae, a Scottish doctor working for the Hudson's Bay Company. Traveling thousands of miles on foot and in small craft, Rae had done what six years of searching by the British, Americans, French and Russians had failed to do - discover the fate of Franklin and unlock the final link in the Passage - a 300-year-old dream. A fascinating re-write of history involving the Inuit.

Up the elevator whooshes to the fifth floor of an East 57th Street building in the center of Manhattan's art world. The elevator opens on a dark, discreet, unpeopled corridor. At the end of the corridor loom the truffle-colored double doors of the Andre Emmerich Gallery. They are locked. There is a bell.
You ring for admission and if you are a prospective buyer, or have made an appointment to view a painting, the doors swing open. They reveal a giant red light of a painting that stops you in your tracks with its beauty: It glows bright and bigger than life, 7 by 17 feet, on one white wall. Walking up to it is like stepping into the vortex of a huge ruby, full of pulsing light: bursts and glints and streaks of rouge red, plum, scarlet and scarlet's darker sister, of garnet, cranberry, brick red, maroon, all luminous as though seen through a jeweler's loupe, interspersed with shards of light in other colors: black, powder blue, gold. In one corner is the dark, attenuated signature of its creator, Helen Frankenthaler, the woman who art critic Barbara Rose says "changed painting" through her color-stained canvases as an Abstract Expressionist. This painting, acrylic on canvas, is titled "Carousel." Its price tag: $50,000.
None of the Frankenthalers are for sale in a major retrospective of her graphic works which has just opened at the Phillips Collection in Washington. The exhibit of over 90 final proofs and prints spans almost 20 years of her career, and includes woodcuts, lithographs, offset, intaglio, and relief techniques. Although Frankenthaler's fame rests on her painting, the exhibit includes work which she herself describes as being as good as any of her paintings.
Foremost is the prize of the show, a joyous woodblock titled "Essence Mulberry," which she did at Tyler Graphics.
The original color came from the juice of owner Ken Tyler's mulberry tree. The mulberries were ripe, and as she has described: "We had a large pail of the crimson juice which we could dip into and have at the studio. I loved that color. The print itself wasn't made with the actual mulberry juice but with a tint that I mixed that was almost identical. . . ."
The sluices of crimson, gold, orange, rose, cobalt, and tan that mark "Essence Mulberry" are on the cover of a new book, "Helen Frankenthaler Prints: 1961-1979," just published by Harper & Row. The book, technically a "catalogue raisonne," was written by Thomas Krens, incoming director of Williams College Museum of Art in Williamstown, Mass., and director of the artist-in-residence program which organized the exhibit, along with the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. (Partial support also comes from the National Endowment for the Arts.) The show, which began in Williamstown, moves from Washington to Birmingham, Ala., and Toledo, Ohio, then finally to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts next fall.
Before the exhibit opened in Washington, Miss Frankenthaler agreed to an interview at her streamlined brownstone on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
The ideal Helen Frankenthaler interview would be poured, not typed. It would flow. The high priestess of the "soak-stain" technique broke with centuries of convention in art when she decided in the early '60s to leave the easel and pour her paint directly on an unprimed or untreated canvas (usually cotton duck) placed on the floor, allowing the colors to ebb and flow as her creative impulse dictated. The oil paint, thinned with turpentine, then stained the canvas until fabric and paint were one, drenched with characteristic Fra kenthaler colors that glow like stained glass with an inner stratum of light.
Because of her technique and the huge size of her paintings, Frankenthaler physically works inm the painting, as a dancer would work on a stage. To understand how carefully, how precisely and painstakingly, she works at her immense, luminous paintings, you must try to interview her.
In a Frankenthaler interview, every word is a brushstroke and it must be just the right stroke, the right color, the right line. She is an artist to the core. She will control the picture, whether it be one painted with words or acrylics.
Here she is on the subject of how she hangs her paintings, which are not limited as easel paintings would be by a predetermined top or bottom, since she is painting from within them on the floor:
"When I decide to hang a picture, I hang it in the way it works best. Now clearly it's a very careful choice. And if I start a picture and work on it, feeling 'this is the bottom, this is the top, this is the right, or this is the left,' choices occur, and spaces occur, and light and drawing and the aesthetics of it evolve, which has been true of all painting, always.
"If you're an old master standing at an easel, you don't know how the stroke of sienna on the sable lapel is going to affect the ring on the left hand," she explains.
When this last sentence is checked with her, as she requested all her direct quotations be checked for this article, she changed the brushstrokes slightly: It became: "How the stroke of sienna on a fur lapel mightm affect the ring on the left hand in relationship in a portrait of, for example, a patrician."
She continued: "And there are changes to be made and additions and subtractions, and it is really no different from looking at a picture and saying , 'I think if I add this, delete that, risk this, pursue that, hold on to this,' whatever, that it is more of an aesthetic experience turning this way or turning that way.
"I don't mean necessarily physically turning the picture. sometimes what you thought was the top turns out not to be the top. But in a way that's irrelevant. What should concern you is what are you left with when you look at it on the wall. Does it work?"
On the wall across from where she sits in her dining room is an exuberant, huge painting, sunbursts of yellow-orange lit with blue, green, gold. It works. Its creator is sitting at the dining room table, elbows resting on a lime-green linen cloth. It is a convenient position from which to give the wipe-out signal she uses to delete a question or answer on the tape recorder which she does not want to appear in this picture of her.
Miss Frankenthaler is a tall, slender woman with a fragile-looking figure and a strong jaw. She has the dark, exotic attractiveness of one of Ingre's women, but her features are so firmly delineated they might be carved. She wears her shoulder-length dark brown hair tucked behind her ears.
Her eyes are wide and brown, and this particular morning, faintly skeptical. She wears a watercolor blue, silky shirt over carefully tailored black pants. There is a glimpse of black and white spectator pumps at the ankle.
She speaks in a low, controlled voice with a faint rasp as though the sulfurous city air outside had seeped into the room. Her words are carefully spaced. Here she is, answering a question about what it was like growing up in Manhattan, with a father who was a New York State Supreme Court judge, in an affluent family that knew early on that she was an extremely gifted child. Was she aware of that special talent then, was it difficult for her as a child?
"I don't remember being aware of it then," she says slowly, musingly. "I think, in fact, that I had a difficult and complicated and often wonderful childhood like and other child. But I would imagine that any child who is gifted and has not yet experienced the manifestation of the gift that is to come in adult life must someplace suffer a tremendous loneliness. Because one is different, yet one is the same as everyone else, and I think when late adolescence and maturity come along, then one is much more apt to cope with the gift and cope with life. When you're a child, you're not up to realizing, thank goodness, the drama. But the drama exists." In line with that she has also said , "If you have a gift, it is your halo and your cross."
Growing up on Park Avenue, she did all the standard little-girl things, collecting dolls, roller-skating, going to the zoo and Rumpelmayer's. She also collected little glass objects and trading cards (her favorites were those with Watteau and Fragonard pictures on them), and made puppets. She cooked, loved being in the kitchen. She did watercolors and sketches and drew with Crayolas.
"I loved it [painting and drawing] and I was, like most children, good at it. And like most parents, mine were proud of their kids' drawings. . . . I also made cards and drawings to celebrate things, family birthdays and anniversaries, " she adds.
Eugene Goossen, a prominent art critic and longtime family friend, remembers another Helen. She was the smallest one of three girls, but when they'd go out walking with their father the judge, she'd always be "six paces ahead of everyone else. She has two very bright sisters, Marjorie and Gloria. Helen was the youngest. She was always out there pacing the way, an individualist, she was going to be the best, she was not going to be No. 3 like National or No. 2 like Avis."
Even as a child, he says, because of her family background, she mingled easily with the powerful and famous. As a little girl, she sat on Mayor Fiorello La Guardia's lap when he came to visit her father.
Goossen, a full professor at City University of New York and at Hunter College and its graduate center, teaches theory and criticism of art and art history. He has been responsible for major exhibits at the Museum of Modern Art and at the Whitney Museum, where he directed Frankenthaler's 1969 retrospective. He says of the mature Helen Frankenthaler: "I have no hesitation in saying she stands right up in the top row of living contemporary artists here and abroad. Even by 1950 or '51 [when she first began exhibiting] she was someone to be dealt with. . . .
"I never think about her being a woman painter, although she's become exemplary as one of the four or five major women artists of this century."
She and the other major women painters, he feels, have become that because they choose "leading with the art." "They transcend simply saying 'I'm a woman' and making that the issue, unlike the whole group of women today who are leading with 'I'm a woman' instead of leading with the art."
As a painter, Goossen says, "Helen makes a very strong statement. A lot of women artists . . . rely on the classic position of what women are supposed to be. They emphasize textiles, clothes, the things we assume women will [use], they use boudoir colors, where I feel Helen can use color with a tremendously strong yet feminine instinct, not kowtowing to the classic stereotypes of the feminine. It gives her painting a certain quality that [Georgia] O'Keeffe's has , too: They certainly are feminine women painters, but their statements are as powerful and strong as a man's.
"Helen Frankenthaler transcends any sexual categorization, she uses everything she's got in her as a woman but in a way that belongs to the world of art which is not divided into sexes, which is sexless. . . . She transcends all of that."
Feminist Germaine Greer challenges concepts of gender in art in her book "The Obstacle Race," subtitled "The Fortunes of Women Painters and Their Work." She suggests that there have been no female Leonardos, Titians, Poussins, not because they are inferior to men but because their egos have been damaged, libidos shattered, energies diverted by centuries of art dominated by men.
Frankenthaler refuses to comment on whether she believes that's horseradish or not. "I think there are different views," she says cryptically.
But her approach to life and art appears to be that in any century she would have forged through and been a painter, that from the start, as an artist she just paints,m without thinking what the obstacles are, whether the atmosphere is right, who her mentors were or are. Whether the talent that is Helen Frankenthaler's could have come to light if she had been born a woman a couple of centuries ago in a poor and primitive society is of course speculative, as she would admit.
But she was not. From the beginning, this child in love with light, who called her mother to the window of their apartment to watch the sunsets, who always asked for the rooms with a sky view when they traveled, this child was nurtured as an artist.
"Unlike the majority of modernists who were frustrated and misunderstood by their parents and teachers, Frankenthaler was supported and encouraged in her urge toward self-expression," Barbara Rose, the critic, says in her monograph on Frankenthaler. "It is possible that Helen Frankenthaler's education was the most consistent and thorough of any painter of the New York School" (as the group of Abstract Expressionists to which she belongs is called).
She was sent to Brearly, the exclusive New York girls' school, then to Dalton , a progressive school, where she was a favorite pupil of the noted Mexican surrealist Rufino Tamayo. She would stroll over to the Guggenheim, or down to the Museum of Modern Art, where Dali's limp watch in his celebrated surrealist painting "Persistence of Memory" awoke her to the possibilities of melting, fluid images.
She chose an avant-garde college, Bennington, in the Green Mountains of Vermont, one of the few colleges that in the late '40s welcomed actual writers, like W. H. Auden, and painters like Paul Feeley, as faculty members.
FRom Feeley she learned to analyze the work of the major modern masters, and through his teaching became an accomplished Cubist painter. After graduation, she took an art history course at Columbia, then eventually broke off to paint on her own in a $14-a-month cold-water studio on 21st Street, which she shared with her college friend, writer Sonya Rudikoff.
Rudikoff, who also studied under Feeley, says, "Bennington was important not only because it opened up the whole world of modern painting. But it was also a certain way of regarding, initiating us into the life of art, the response to life from within art. . . . It was the response to feelings and articulating the response. . . ."
In a much less serious vein: On one bitter cold, snow-covered winter day at Bennington, Frankenthaler and she and a few friends went in for what Rudikoff describes as "surrealistic high jinks," dressing up in bizarre costumes, painting their faces, and sitting down at a card table for a game of bridge in the snow, as a spoof on the surrealistic and Dadaistic art they had been studying.
It was at the New York cold-water studio she shared with Rudikoff that Frankenthaler did the canvas "Painted on 21st Street," one of her three Paintings on view in "The Fifties" exhibit of the New York School at the Hirshhorn Museum here.
In a tape that accompanies the show, she describes it as being about "the light within white itself. . . . The endless numbers and colors and spaces and lights. . . ." It contains also bits of sand and, as she notes with her characteristic wry humor: If you look in the upper right corner you might see some of that morning's coffee grounds embedded in the plaster of Paris. . . .
"Twenty First Street" is done in paint at times so thick it has crusts, the opposite of the light-soaked and stained style that was to emerge as Frankenthaler's mark or signature. It was through her friend and mentor Clement Greenburg, also an art critic, that she first met Jackson Pollock and the rest of the New York School. Frankenthaler's work is generally said to belong to the "second generation" of those Abstract Expressionists whose work was "not based on objective reality . . . painting that expressed their emotions," as the Hirshhorn exhibit explains.
It was Jackson Pollock who opened the door for Frankenthaler into an area of art she then made her own. She visited his studio, where he poured the paint onto huge canvases stretched on the floor, dripping the paint on with his now-famous technique. Barbara Rose quotes Frankenthaler's reaction to seeing Pollock's paintings "Number One" and "Autumn Rhythm": She felt as if she were "in the center ring of Madison Square Garden." She explained: "it was as if I suddenly went to a foreign country but didn't know the language, but had read enough and had a passionate interest, and was eager to live there. I wanted to live in this land; I had tom live there, and master the language."
Rose notes that Pollock then became Frankenthaler's mentor, displacing Picasso, Gorky, and Kandinsky. That was 1951.
By 1952, Frankenthaler had done what many critics regard as her breakthrough painting, the first major stained work, "Mountains and Sea." It is a liquid, lyric wash of sky blue, green, and mountain shades from coral-rose to brown which seems to float on one wall at the National Gallery's new East Wing.
For the first time, she put the unprimed canvas on the floor, pouring on paint thinned to the consistency of watercolor into pools that flowed outward, but controlling the flow with sponges, wipers, and her own creative intelligence. Critic Eleanor Munro in her book "Originals: American Women Artists" describes that day. She says the new technique "let waterlight fill her work." She quotes Frankenthaler's almost rhapsodic explanation of the creation inspired by a trip to Nova Scotia: "I had the landscape in my arms when I painted it. I had the landscape in my mind and shoulder and wrist."
And yet when she is asked about "Mountains and Sea," whether it was the painting in which as an Abstract Expressionists she thought, "Eureka! I've found it," she demurs.
"I think that's probably your interpretation of it," she says quietly. "I don't think anything is that clear or determined or recognized or cut and dried. It is never that self-conscious. If it is, I'm suspicious of it. . . .
"I think in the early '50s, around the time I painted 'Mountains and Sea,' a number of things seemed to manifest themselves and gel that in some ways were a result of my knowing analytic cubism, my bieng in New York City in 1950, looking at the work of Jackson Pollock, coming from what I came from both in art and in life, and bringing what I had to bear in relation to all the other facets. And I think that around that my 'mark' or signature evolved in one phase aesthetically."
She is sitting facing the smoggy morning light, which falls, a faintly metallic gray, over her town house garden.In the garden is a white, feathery rose of Sharon she loves, blooming amid the bricks and ivy and impatiens, and the massive David Smith sculptures. In the dining room, too, is a Smith sculpture, another memory of a close family friendship during the time she was married to Abstract Expressionist Robert Motherwell, from whom she is divorced. A brighter, stronger light floods through the modernistic bay window of the double living room, with its white tile floors, coral and green couches, and its collection of old and modern masters.
What significance does light have for Frankenthaler; does she paint her transparent pictures with light?
"I think that light that works is part of every beautiful picture. It isn't necessasrily sky light but a quality called light, that can be in any painting at any time through history, from della Francesca to Jules Olitski. The light that makes it will appear. It doesn't have to do with the style of the time. It has to do with a quality inherent in the history of painting."
She explains that the quality called light which can be in any painting is "that which makes it work as an aesthetic experience. And the subject matter is irrelevant." She has spoken in an Eleanor Munro interview of "a metaphysical, aesthetic light, without which a painting is dead."
It is that "quality of light," she now explains, "that is one -- not all, there is scale, for instance -- one of many htings that contribute to the magic of a picture, that makes you feel 'that's beautiful. That's got it.' And you know when somehting doesn't have it because by contrast it goes dead and doesn't work. It doesn't have that light. It doesn't have that je ne sais quoi."m
For Frankenthaler her mark, her "wrist," is as important as light. She has said of working in prints: "The artist's wrist is of crucial importance. I believe that wrist, that sensibility must be in and on the whole concept of the making of the print. . . . The artist of quality [creates] a beautiful graphic that 'bleeds' his sensibility -- his feeling, magic, head, heart -- within the felt embrace of a sensitive workshop."
In the current graphics exhibit, you can see the bleeding of her emotions as an artist with her relentless drive toward the perfect physical expression of them in her prints. The eye remembers the glorious, soaring colors, the exuberant blue and gold and green of "Air Frame" and the romance of "Green Likes Mauve." But the mind remembers all the variations on a theme until it was right, the five plate proofs, the eight experimental impressions that went into the large intaglio "Earth Slice" and the smaller intaglio "Ganymede" plucked from a portion of it.
Frankenthaler describes herself as "spontaneous; but I think I tend to be a perfectionist, demanding, impatient with myself very often."
Eugene Goossen says, "She's one of the most motivated artists I know. She's absolutely dedicated to her art. . . . One of the brightest people, with an extraordinarily high IQ. . . . She works very hard for periods of time, for a period of six to eight weeks she'll work through, cutting out everything, although she enjoys the social world, the world of people. Whe she gets rolling , she blocks out a great deal of life she might otherwise enjoy."
He speaks of her hands as the clue: "They're strong and workmanlike hands but not big; they're expressive hands. She doesn't wear any fasncy nail polish, they're real painter's hands."
When she is not painting, Miss Frankenthaler may be swimming or crunching pistachios or looking at paintings or talking with friends or soaking up Mozart. He is one of her heroes, along with Titian, Freud, Rembrandt, Matisse, and many others.
"I'm thinking of people I count on, who accomplished monumental things that were gifts to everybody's life. And they include many scientists and many artistic people, many friends you've never heard of."
A voracious, but, she says, a slow, reader, she might also be dipping tinto a book of criticism or one of her favorite authors, Henry James. James himself would have been intrigued with the titles of her paintings and graphics: The 33 -foot-high "Guiding Red," because as she has said, "I was guiding the red -- and the red was guiding me"; "New York Bamboo," "Hurricane Flag," "Cinnamon Burn," "Blue North," "The Human Edge," "I Need Yellow," "Connected by Joy."
And walls. Often walls. "Seawall," a monumentally beautiful acrylic on canvas, hangs near the early "Mountains and Sea" at the National Gallery. It is again that "waterlight" that Eleanor Munro marveled at, a mysterious green ocean of light and paint, shadowed with dark violet, streaked and swimming with bursts of pale blue, marine blue, dark gold, a knot of scarlet, as much its own immersed world as one of Monet's water lily paintings.
Glancing from "Mountains and Sea" to "Seawal" you can see the continuity of Frankenthaler's vision, yet see why the door is always open to new vistas. As Goossen says:
"She has found an approach to art that allows her to paint for the rest of her life, because she is not locked into a special style.Her control over the painting leaves her room for her own identity. Her signature lies under the surface of everything she does. . . . She keeps discovering new ways to produce herself ratehr than new means or methods."

I have an older Vizio 50″ HDTV. It has only 2 HDMI ports. I have the need for:
1. HDMI for my Comcast Cable
2. HDMI for my Samsung VCR/CD-DVR recorder
3. HDMI for my LBB. (Little Black Box). Thank you for your most recent article or the XBMC.
4. HDMI for my RCA Digital Receiver.
My question is, Is there a way, or maybe the easiest way to hook up the devices to make life easy for me?
Also, do you have the knowledge of a manual for the LBB or the XBMC system?
Thank you very much in advance for your assistance and keep up the great work.
Hi again Dalan.
Here is the link on Ebay for this device. Let me know your thoughts on this device and if you think there is a better one in your thoughts. Please let me know. Also, keep in mind the price of others that you have in mind.
Again, thank you.
You are wanting to "switch" inputs, meaning multiple inputs into the device, and one output into the tv. Splitters take one input and "split" the same single input signal into multiple outputs, so you can display the same thing on multiple tvs. You need something like this: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=101&cp_id=10110&cs_id=1011002&p_id=8463&seq=1&format=2 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812197008. Both run between $25-30 each.
If you want higher speed and capacity switches that can handle 3D and/or 4k display capabilities, you would need to get a compatible switch, though they cost more. You can keep looking in EBay for switches if you like, but I, personally, would rather purchase things like this from a reputable store.
Hi Dalan and thank you for help. I have heard of Microcenter and I do not have in my state, that I know of. I have found on Ebay, a HDMI (1) in and HDMI (4) out. Let me get the info about it and send it to you and see what your thoughts of on this device.
Thank you all for your input. I will check my area and then EBAY to see what is the best for me as I am located in USA>
Again, thank you all very much
If you have a Microcenter or Fry's nearby, try there as they may carry them fit a decent price. Otherwise, Newegg.com or Monoprice.com may be better than Ebay, mostly because of returns/refunds being easier and better. Monoprice offers the best lifetime warranty I've seen in a long time, though the guarantee is limited to cables and some devices.
Obviously you can use a HDMI switch or can purchase two 1X2 HDMI splitter and connect them to both your HDMI ports to connect 4 HDMI devices. Something like this : http://www.ebay.com/itm/HDMI-Male-2x-HDMI-Female-Y-Splitter-Adapter-Cable-/170493554366?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b2352ebe
I agree about the HDMI switch, and there are plenty of options out there. There are ones that will switch automatically to the input that has video and audio going through it, though that means making sure that all of the other devices are turned off to make sure the source you wish to view will be automatically switched to. Monoprice offers a great warranty/guarantee on their products; most of the products have lifetime replacement guarantee where they send you a free replacement should anything go wrong. http://www.monoprice.com/Search/Index?keyword=hdmi+switch
