Today is Earth Day. We decided to check out a marine mammal rescue about an hour and a half from our house. We enjoyed the gorgeous drive full of hills and farm land. We even enjoyed the fog we drove into as we traveled. When we arrived we saw pelts, skeletons, and facts about animals like leopard seals, elephant seals, sea lions, and whales. All animal bones and pelts were from animals who died of natural causes. We also enjoyed seeing the elephant seal pups. It is birthing season and many of the pups were dehydrated and needed to learn to eat fish and then be released. Others had become ill after eating or being tangled in trash in the ocean.While at the animal rescue they hosted a class for the kids which was really neat. My kids had a blast as did all the others. We learned that 50-100 animals a year could be safe in our area if we were more careful with our trash and also if we used less plastic, etc. During the art project another child repeatedly took things from one of my daughters. At first we couldn't figure out why her art work never seemed done...then I saw him take some of her pieces...I gave him a look and nodded my head no..he left then came back and took another handful of her stuff. So I said in a firm calm voice, "no no you cannot have her items now but we will give them to you when she is done" since the activity was reusable. Of course his bluff was called and he stopped. But then his mom started hugging him and saying how no one likes to be yelled at etc. Well, hmm, had it been my child I would have been near enough to make that a teachable moment the first time it happened rather than not watch my kid and risk a stranger having to speak up. And of course by yelling she meant it was "upsetting" to be disciplined. She apparently equates discipline to yelling which of course is not the case in my house and is not what I do when we are out and about even when addressing those we do not know. I appreciate her though because she helped me to double check myself and my choices and actions in parenting. Sure enough though I was alone all three kids were near me and behaving well. I could have used any behavior issue as a teachable moment had I needed to. So thanks to her.:)
After the rescue center, we went to lunch in a tourist area of San Francisco. It was busy but fun. The kids always enjoy eating out and I had a coupon. We went to the bathroom as soon as we ordered, but one of my little ones had to go again halfway through the meal. When we got back our meal had been cleared. Our server had already noticed that we had not been billed yet and therefore probably had not finished our meal yet. She ordered a free kids' meal which was very helpful of her. So we ended up with two meals to pay for and two free.
On the way home my son was fussy, not his fault his crazy mom had him out and about all day. He finally had enough about 20 minutes from home and started crying, then he says "help me", then he says "Ezra cry now", then he screams more. If stopping would have helped I would have done it but truly nothing would have helped. We tried food, movies, lip gloss, etc. Had we stopped and taken him out of his seat I would not have been able to wrestle him back in after having milk or play time or whatever else I could come up with at that point. So we traveled on as quickly as we safely could. He did survive as did the girls and I but he definitely is not ready for that much in one day again anytime soon.

Just a few days ago, Summer was reaching out to us and we were reaching back. We delighted in the blue sky and drank in the feeling of warmth on our faces. Our fingers and Summer's touched for a moment, but it wasn't enough to get a grasp and she slipped away. She's gone now and it's cold.
But in every cell of our body we know she'll return. We don't doubt it. We trust. Summer is coming.
We keep preparing for her. We anticipate her arrival, we delight in each sign of Spring. We make plans. We sort stuff. We take action. We wish for her. Perhaps we also moan about how long she is taking, although we know this never makes any difference to when she arrives. We live life with the full intention that Summer will come. And she will.
It is the same with the "summer" of our own lives: all the things you wish to come to fruition; your work, your impact in the world, your relationships, your health, your finances, your connection, your aliveness. Don't give up on them because they are not yet in full bloom and because you don't have experience of them blooming, yet.
Celebrate every tiny shoot, cheer on each sign of spring. Tend to your dreams. Nourish your goals. Nurture your desires. Give them the food, water and light that they need. And when the first shoots are tiny and fragile, don't dismiss them as "not good enough". They are the signs of Spring, the forerunner to Summer and we have to have the tiny shoots in order to have the lush forest. Do what you can and then rest. Let nature, let life, play their part. Have faith that summer is coming because she is. And whatever you are tending and giving your attention to, that is what will bloom fullest. Where is your attention going?
What signs of impending Summer in your life, can your nurture during early Spring?
She's coming. Trust.

The Internet lit up yesterday when Questlove announced the arrival of new music from Kendrick Lamar. Anyone who was tuned into the Compton rapper's 2015 run knows the type of impact he's had since the release of To Pimp a Butterfly. Now, with the New Year in motion, the emcee is already following up that critically acclaimed body of work with a brand-new song.
This evening, during The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, K. Dot debuted "Untitled 2." Backed by The Roots, Kendrick Lamar performed, and completely owned the style that fans have been gushing over for months now. The song is emotionally stirring, and acts as the sequel to a record he premiered on The Colbert Report back in December of 2014.
To Pimp a Butterfly garnered the TDE rapper 11 Grammy nominations in categories like Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Rap Album. And as March approaches, we're coming closer to the LP's one-year anniversary.
There's a chance that tonight's performance of "Untitled 2" captured fans by surprise seeing that Kendrick took a bit of hiatus after his last LP, good kid, m.A.A.d city. As of right now, there's no word on where this song will live, but even if it's just a loosie, fans will be alright.
Watch the Kendrick Lamar electrifying performance below.

The Classics
- Details
- Published on 13 July 2017
In June 2017, Google Scholar released a collection of highly-cited papers in their area of research that have stood the test of time. These Classic Papers were published in 2006 and the list includes the ten most-cited articles, proving that though research is often about the latest findings, some have an impact long after their publication.
We are proud to report that in the field of epidemiology, the Classic Papers list includes a 2006 publication co-authored by Dean Donald Burke, who was at Johns Hopkins University at the time, and others from Johns Hopkins, Imperial College London, and RTI. Not only was the Nature paper "Strategies for mitigating an influenza pandemic" included on the list, it had 1500 citations and was the #1 most cited article in the field of epidemiology!
Congratulations to Dean Burke and his co-authors!

Press Releases
Gov. Malloy Announces Revised Executive Order Resource Allocation Plan
(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Dannel P. Malloy today announced revisions to the Executive Order Resource Allocation Plan, along with new municipal aid distributions associated with the plan. The changes accommodate the restoration of $40 million to private, nonprofit health and human service providers, prioritizing education funding to communities with the highest student needs by holding harmless the 30 Alliance Districts, and $60 million of other adjustments that must be made to ensure that the state lives within its limited means under the executive order.
The revised plan and municipal aid estimates will be the basis for state spending for Fiscal Year 2018 in the unlikely event that a state budget is not enacted. It is intended to provide municipalities, providers, and state agencies with some certainty about what funding to expect until a budget is adopted.
"In the absence of an adopted budget from the General Assembly, my administration is reallocating resources to pay for basic human services, education in our most challenged school districts, and the basic operation of government," Governor Malloy said. "The municipal aid that is funded as part of this executive order reflects the nearly impossible decisions Connecticut must make in the absence of a budget. It will force some of our municipalities – both large and small – to make similarly difficult choices of their own."
In order to restore $100 million, the administration made the following changes:
- Allocating the Special Education Excess Cost Sharing Grant at approximately the Fiscal Year 2017 levels.
- Providing $1.46 billion in Education Cost Sharing (ECS) grants to the communities with the highest student needs and the greatest reliance on state funding. It holds the 30 Alliance Districts harmless and provides a grant equal to the Fiscal Year 2017 level. On average, 22.24 percent of municipal expenditures are funded with revenue from the state. The 54 non-alliance towns with a greater reliance on state funding, above the 22.24 percent statewide average, will receive a portion their Fiscal Year 17 ECS grant, and the 85 municipalities that have a lower reliance on state funding will receive no ECS grant. A total of 25 percent of the ECS payments will be made in early October.
- For Municipal Revenue Sharing (MRS), grants of $40.6 million will be provided to municipalities for the tax loss resulting from a 37 mill rate cap on motor vehicle property taxes. This grant will be paid in mid-October when there are sufficient revenues in the MRS Account. At this time, no grants for the Additional Payments in Lieu of Tax Grants or Revenue Sharing Grants will be made from MRS.
The Governor continued, "This has never been my preferred path. I have proposed full balanced budgets and also short-term solutions that would alleviate some of this pain. It is incumbent upon state leaders to come together and reach an agreement on a biennial budget right away."
In June, in the absence of an adopted state budget or even a stop-gap mini-budget that would have allowed the state to proceed with an appropriations act, a capital budget, revenue changes, and necessary legislative changes, Governor Malloy released an Executive Order Resource Allocation Plan. Under the limited powers of executive authority, the plan could not change statute, alter revenue, or deviate from existing legal covenants, but could only allocate resources based on availability to satisfy the most pressing obligations on the state.
Due to these constraints, approximately $100 million in payments to private nonprofit providers who provide services across DSS, DDS, DCF, DMHAS, DOH, DOC, DORS, SDA and Judicial were cut. Unfortunately, the providers have not been able to withstand these cuts without unacceptable cuts in services. In response, the administration will restore $40 million to continue funding vital services to our most vulnerable residents. Additionally, there were another $60 million in expenditures that needed to be restored to ensure adequate resources to meet state obligations.

Filmmaker Jim Jarmusch Talks ATP
"I invited Bill Murray to come to ATP just to hang out."
In films like Stranger Than Paradise, Dead Man, and Ghost Dog, filmmaker Jim Jarmusch created a series of surreal, deadpan worlds that bear only passing similarities to our own. Along the way, he's collaborated with a murderer's row of musical visionaries: Joe Strummer, Tom Waits, Neil Young, RZA, GZA, Iggy Pop, the White Stripes.
So it's fitting that the folks at All Tomorrow's Parties have recruited Jarmusch to curate one day of ATP New York, which comes to Kutsher's Country Club in Monticello, New York September 3-5. Jarmusch's day has a line-up that runs from indie rock and punk (Girls, Fucked Up, Kurt Vile, Vivian Girls) to drone-metal (Sunn O))) and Boris) to hip-hop (Raekwon, GZA, DJ Kool Herc), to psych (Dungen, Wooden Shjips, the Black Angels). Bands playing the other two days of the fest include Sonic Youth, Iggy and the Stooges, Sleep, the Breeders, Fuck Buttons, Shellac, Tortoise, Explosions in the Sky, the Books, and Avi Buffalo.
Pitchfork recently spoke with Jarmusch about music, his ATP experience, his relationship with RZA, and his future projects, including a documentary about the Stooges.
Pitchfork: How did you get involved in curating the festival?
Jim Jarmusch: Last year, I curated one day of films there, and so I went. They showed some of my films, and I just had such an amazing time. Then Deborah [Kee Higgins] and Barry [Hogan, festival organizers] asked me a little while after that if I wanted to curate the last day of bands for this year, so it was exciting.
Pitchfork: How did you pick the bands?
JJ: It was really, really hard. I'm such a fan of so many eccentric, amazing musicians that I think I went too fast at first. I picked all these bands right away, and then I was thinking about the overview of the thing, but there are so many amazing bands out there that, man, I couldn't stop. So Barry just took the reigns and started calling bands that I had on the list and booking them, just filling it in. I could've programmed like 50 bands. We had some trouble getting bands that I wanted, especially from outside the States. I really wanted Tinariwen or Konono N°1.
Pitchfork: Looking at the bill, a few musicians you've worked with before show up.
JJ: Well, GZA is going to perform. Also, I had music in The Limits of Control from Boris and Sunn O))). I'm really excited that they're going to play [their 2006 collaboration] Altar, which they've only done once before ever. I asked Tom Waits to headline early on, but he thought he would have a new record done, and it got [moved] back, so he's still working. I asked Neil Young, because I know Neil and Thurston Moore had wanted to do some kind of feedback war a year ago, and Neil couldn't do it, [his] schedule didn't work.
Pitchfork: Kool Herc is going to DJ during your day. Do you know him at all?
JJ: I met him once. But man, he is one of the great progenitors of hip-hop, so to have him there is just amazing. He's the guy that started it all.
Pitchfork: The Greenhornes are playing, and they're connected to Jack White. What do you think the likelihood is of Jack White showing up?
JJ: I invited the Dead Weather as a possible headliner, but they were playing New York before that, [and] they weren't able to play. You never know. Jack Lawrence plays with Jack White a lot and is also in the Greenhornes and Patrick Keeler. It'd be fun if they show up. Did you see the film It Might Get Loud? In the beginning, there's a part where Jack White is making a one-string electric guitar out of a two-by-four out in a cow pasture. And I told Jack, "Man, what if you just came up and started building those guitars, and then more and more [people] came up and started droning away on them?" That didn't happen, [but] that was another idea.
Pitchfork: We've got [a video of you doing "Cortez the Killer" with Bradford Cox and Randy Randall](http://pitchfork.com/tv/#/episode/2586-jim-jarmusch-bradford-cox-and-no-ages-randy-randall "a video of you doing "Cortez the Killer" with Bradford Cox and Randy Randall" ) at last year's ATP. How did that happen?
JJ: My friend Shane Stoneback was recording some of that stuff. I had been talking earlier to Bradford, because he's so amazingly prolific. And I love No Age, so I was happy to meet Randy, too. They were in there, and they just grabbed me and pulled me in and said, "You're gonna sing with me on 'Cortez'. Ready?" And then it was rolling [laughs]. It was kind of unexpected. But I really liked that offhand thing. I love the whole setup, with the little surveillance cameras on little stands. I kept wanted to gravitate back to that room and see what the hell was going on in there.
Pitchfork: What are some of your other memories from ATP?
JJ: I've never been to the English one, though I'd like to go. I really love Kutcher's because it's so run down already that there's nothing 3,000 rock'n'roll kids can do to it. I like that it has the venues indoors. I love that there's not really cops or authorities around; everything's very relaxed. They have a VIP room that I've heard no one has ever been in, since everyone likes to hang out with each other. I love that funky bar that they have next to the swimming pool. It looks like some kind of leftover set from the "Mannix" TV show or something. They got that indoor pool and that little pond out in the back with one-legged ducks and lawn furniture thrown in it. I just like the whole scene. You can just wander around and meet people and hang out.
Last year I was only there for a day and a half and I saw Dead Meadow, Deerhunter, Boris with Michio Kurihara, Sleepy Sun, the Melvins, BoaDrum, No Age with Bob Mould, Caribou, Shellac, Animal Collective, the Flaming Lips-- I saw so many bands in like 36 hours. And I missed a lot.
Pitchfork: If you had to pick any band who you're looking forward to the most this year, who would it be?
JJ: There's a rule in my household that if Iggy is playing anywhere within 90 miles, we go. I just saw the Stooges in London a couple months ago with James Williamson. It was amazing. Sleep is going to be really cool. I'm a longtime Sonic Youth fan. I've seen Hope Sandoval once with Mazzy Star, but I just love her voice and her style. Boris and Sunn O))) is gonna be amazing. T-Model Ford is playing. He's 96 years old.
Pitchfork: Who are some of the other people you wished you could have gotten?
JJ: The Contortions, CocoRosie, Bush Tetras, some hip-hop people like Kool Keith. I'd like to get this band Skeleton Key. I was thinking of some things like Solomon Burke or Bettye LaVette or Booker T. and the M.G.s.
Pitchfork: In the past, you've worked with musicians that cross genre boundaries, but they're all some pretty unpredictable people. It seems like some of these guys would be pretty tough to wrangle.
JJ: When I started out making films, I was a musician. I knew more musical people, really, than film people. So in my early films, a lot of my friends were in them, and a lot of them were musicians. Certainly John Lurie. Richard Edson, from Stranger Than Paradise, was actually the first drummer in Sonic Youth, and he was in other bands like Konk. I've worked with Tom Waits and Iggy Pop. I've had Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Joe Strummer and a lot of musicians in the films. I wrote for them, thinking about them as being characters in the films, rather than anything really about their musical world, their musical life. These were mostly people I knew. None of them were hard to wrangle as actors. They were all very focused, and it was really a pleasure. I never had any trouble with any of them. Even Wu-Tang showed up on time. They were great. In fact, we were shooting Coffee and Cigarettes, and we were actually waiting for Bill Murray. He was only half an hour late. That was pretty amazing.
Pitchfork: I love that scene.
JJ: I invited Bill Murray to come to ATP just to hang out, but I haven't heard back from him. I think he'd dig it, but I don't know where he is at the moment.
Pitchfork: You're good friends with the Wu-Tang guys, and you seem to have a working relationship with RZA that not too many other people have.
JJ: RZA's been doing a lot of scores since [scoring my film] Ghost Dog. He did some stuff for Quentin Tarantino and some stuff for Blade: Trinity. My thing starts with a real love and respect for the Wu-Tang Clan as a unit. To me, they are a great example of a collective of really eccentric geniuses. I've been a fan since the beginning of the Wu-Tang, and my taste in hip-hop generally runs toward more hardcore stuff and gangster stuff. Getting to work with RZA and meeting and hanging out with GZA and Ghost and Meth and Rae and all of them-- they're just incredible characters, incredible minds. ODB, too-- I got to hang out with a few times.
Pitchfork: What do you think attracted them to you? RZA's worked with a ton of filmmakers, but I don't get the impression they're in his circle.
JJ: I don't know. When I first finally got to meet RZA at three in the morning in some studio in Midtown, I think Raekwon was there. I don't know who else was there, but they were saying, "Wait a minute, is this the guy that made that film Dead Man?" Apparently, the Wu-Tang had been passing that film around, which is kind of a shock to me. They started quoting the film, and they were really happy to meet me. RZA and I got along really well and just launched into a lot of strange conversations. We just clicked.
Pitchfork: You were also close with Rammellzee, right?
JJ: Yeah, what a great loss. I'm still in shock of losing Rammellzee. That's another incredible character-- an incredible artist and an incredible mind. I just hope his work will be appreciated-- all of those puppets and figures he constructed that looked like the cross between ancient samurai armor and futuristic stuff, all his theories about language, things he wrote, things he said. He's a real big inspiration to me.
Pitchfork: What else are you working on now?
JJ: I'm working on a documentary about the Stooges. It's going to take a few years. There's no rush on it, but it's something that Iggy asked me to do. I'm co-writing an "opera." It won't be a traditional opera, but it'll be about the inventor Nikola Tesla, with the composer Phil Klein. I have a new film project that's really foremost for me that I hope to shoot early next year with Tilda Swinton and Michael Fassbender and Mia Wasikowska, who was Alice in Wonderland in Tim Burton's film. I don't have that quite financed yet, so I'm working on that. I'm also making music and hoping to maybe score some silent films to put out. Our band will have an EP that we'll give out at ATP. We have enough music for three EPs or an album.
Pitchfork: What's your band called?
JJ: We were called Bad Rabbit, but now we're called Sqürl. We'll have an EP, but we're just slowly putting it out. Maybe by the end of the year, we'll have some vinyl out there.

RFID Arcade Games
June 20, 2005
This live journal entry reminded me of the thing I thought about reporting in January.
Perhaps the most impressive was a multiplayer medieval fantasy roleplaying videogame that seems to use cards (maybe RFID-embedded?) as the player interface. Each player lays down and moves cards on his playing surface and watches his own viewpoint on a monitor, while a larger monitor (out of sight of the players) shows the overall action to observers
It sounds like this game is SEGA's Sangokushi (or Sanguo Zhi in Chinese) Taisen ( Major War).
This game is unique in the way how it combines Arcade Games, Trading Cards and RFID cards to provide new gaming experiences. There are two different kinds of cards used in this game. One is Trading Cards whose movements are detected by so-called Flat-Reader (see below). Players control their own armies by simply moving the cards on the surface. (I couldn't find any information about the technology used for detecting the cards. My guess is, since RFID tags are rather expensive for this kind of things, it could be some sort of chipless RF identification technology. But again, it's just a guess.)
The other is so-called "Lord Cards" for storing player information. this website says RFID Technology is used for "Lord Cards."
This is not the first videogame machine that combines RFID, Trading Cards and Arcade games. SEGA's World Club Champion Football uses very similar hardware -- this game was perhaps introduced in 2002 and has been around since then. I think this is the one I saw in Akihabara this January.
SEGA has other interesting videogame machines including Mushi King (King of Bugs)
and Oshare Majo Love and Berry (Fashionable Witch -Love and Berry). These are tageted for younger kids and use barcodes instead of RFID. They also combine Trading Cards and Arcade Games by exploiting automatic identification technology.

This is SO cool! Haven't seen any of those games over here in UK, but I guess they're bound to show up in a couple of years: combining the highly profitable business of trading cards with new technology like this is really inventive!Posted by: Anders at June 20, 2005 12:37 PM

I used Warfare In Age Of Reason to roll up a tabletop and used the dice values of units from original Die Fighting to generate a couple of reasonably equal forces but with Prussians attacking as such.
Rolled for Leader qualities but stuck with generic values for units (ie Elites are Crack, Line are Average, etc).
I used Bobs suggested x 3 initial dice per command (instead of x2) to generate Resource dice.
The new card system is very nice (I thought I might miss the more varied system of DF but no) with a maximum of 6 phases per turn out of a basic 8 card deck (I placed some of the solo type cards into Russian deck).
This works well to generate usual Bob Jones turn chaos !! my favourite method of gaming especially when going solo.
Already this has seen the Russian Cavalry Brigade on their right get the drop on opposing Prussian mounted.
However they failed to cause any damage and indeed lost (albeit narrowly) the initial Melee Combats.
Artillery has only just got targets and Prussian Infantry are advancing steadily.
The moving and combat systems are essentially the same as in original DF with a few tweaks to the Dice Templates outcomes with main one being addition of 'Black dice'.
These are 'awarded' if a melee lost badly and are rolled as a minus total (this was late optional rule in DF) but can be rallied off.
All the usual re-rolls of lowest and multiples dice, extra 'Free' dice, Command dice are present from original rules still based on varying troop quality and tactical circumstances.
Also now a loss of 13+ dice results in a destroyed unit rather than just a costly Rout, I like this as DF felt a bit bloodless at times.
Biggest and most welcome change is the generation of Resource Dice.
In DF this was based on unit values to generate an overall army total but in DFII it is now based on Commander quality.
Each Commander generates his own pool of dice with the CinC having a 'bucket' he can distribute to other commands at start or during game.
Also on the Restore card (Known as 4R card) the Commanders get to roll to regenerate used dice.
This I really like as in DF the resource dice seemed to dwindle rapidly especially when attacking whereas now they can be restored and indeed Inert Brigades can accumulate a good old stock.
Will be interesting to see how this pans out over course of full game which I hope to complete over next few evenings or so.
Only real downside for me is the PDF style rules (combined with a nice video presentation) as I would still prefer a good old style printed set, but that is just the old curmudgeon in me !!

It could be a simple traffic stop, or a would-be victim who survives -- eventually, even the most meticulous of killers gets careless and gives cops the break they need to solve a case.
At least that's the hope.
As authorities hunt for more bodies in the thick brush along the South Shore's barrier beaches, where eight sets of human remains have been found since December, here's a look at how the law finally caught up to some of the region's most infamous serial killers.
David Berkowitz: 6 dead, one injured
A killer dubbed the Son of Sam terrorized New York City for a year, shooting and killing victims seemingly at random, most of them female, with a .44-caliber handgun.
In the early hours of July 31, 1977, he approached and shot a young couple parked in a car under a streetlight in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. Robert Violante would lose sight in one eye but survive. Stacy Moskowitz died and became the killer's sixth and final victim.
Prior to that shooting, a woman had noticed a man, later identified as David Berkowitz, loitering in the neighborhood and said he appeared to have gotten a ticket on his cream-colored Ford Galaxie for being parked too close to a fire hydrant. She relayed the information to police.
Ten days later, authorities traced that ticket to Berkowitz's apartment in Yonkers, where he was captured.
"What broke that case was good old-fashioned police work," said retired NYPD Det. Sgt. Joe Coffey, one of the NYPD's lead investigators in the case.
During the summer of the Son of Sam terror, the police department was flooded with tips from the public, Coffey said. "It was a classic case of shoe-leather police work, going around door to door and really working on something," he said.
Some tips, of course, went nowhere. "We had many, many, many tips, from all walks of life, including cops giving up other cops, wives and girlfriends giving up their men," he said. Coffey called the vast majority of the tips "vendetta-type things."
Among the flood of misinformation, there were brief glimmers of the truth. Neighbors and a former co-worker told police about the troubling encounters with Berkowitz. "We did get three people who gave statements about Berkowitz during the investigation" before he was arrested, Coffey said. Berkowitz is serving six sentences of 25 years to life.
Among those credited with the arrest was NYPD Det. Edward Zigo of Lynbrook. He died in February at age 83.
Zigo's son, Edward Zigo III, said he and his sister were living with their father when he was assigned to the Son of Sam case. During the investigation, his father suddenly fell out of contact for 48 hours. Then came the phone call.
It was after the tickets were matched, but before the arrest.
"He said, 'I'm really sorry . . . I've just been so consumed by this. We are going through all these parking tickets . . . Ed, I think we've got him.' And I said 'What do you mean?' and he said, 'I think we've got our man.' "
Robert Shulman: Convicted in 5 killings
Postal worker Robert Shulman picked up women working as prostitutes in the Jamaica Avenue area of Hollis, Queens, and took them back to the room he rented in a Hicksville home. He would then kill, dismember and dispose of his victims.
The body of Kelly Sue Bunting, 28, of Hollis, was found in December 1993 in Melville. Like some of Shulman's other victims, Bunting's hands and left leg were missing and she'd died from blows to the head.
Several women who worked the same area in Queens led homicide detectives to Shulman's house and told them that he often picked them up in a blue Cadillac.
Shulman would be convicted of killing five women, two of them unidentified. He was sentenced to death, but that sentence was overturned by a 2004 Court of Appeals ruling that found part of the state's capital punishment law to be unconstitutional.
He was resentenced to life without parole, and at 52 years old, he died in prison in 2006 of an undisclosed ailment.
Joel Rifkin: Suspected in 17 killings, convicted in 9
Joel Rifkin had disposed of bodies all over the state: quite a few of them. But on June 28, 1993, the landscaper from East Meadow would try to dispose of his last one. The Mazda pickup truck that contained a body was missing a license plate.
State Police noticed and tried to pull Rifkin over. Trooper Sean Patrick Ruane testified at a court hearing in 1993 that Rifkin led police on a 25-minute chase at speeds that reached 90 mph before his truck slammed into a utility pole on Old Country Road in Mineola.
Rifkin surrendered and allowed himself to be handcuffed.
"At that point I started to notice a very strong odor coming from the vehicle itself," Ruane testified. "It smelled like decaying flesh."
In the back of the truck, under a plastic tarp, troopers found the body of 22-year-old Tiffany Bresciani. Rifkin would ultimately confess to killing 17 women between 1989 and 1993, many of them working as prostitutes, and be convicted of killing nine. He was sentenced to 203 years to life.
A trooper testified in 1993 that when Rifkin surrendered, he swore the plate was on his van when he left home and said, wryly, "It's always a 25-cent part."
Richard Angelo: Convicted in 4 killings
Nurse Richard Angelo injected his patients at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip with drugs that induced respiratory failure, then played the hero by being the first on the scene to resuscitate them.
Angelo may have been able to keep killing indefinitely were it not for a patient named Gerolamo Kucich, who came to Good Samaritan in 1987 to be treated for a heart attack.
Kucich would tell a court later that Angelo said, "This will make you feel better," before injecting something into his IV. "I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe," Kucich testified.
Somehow Kucich managed to call for help and was saved. The incident cast a spotlight on Angelo's activities.
Dr. Milton Beyers was a retired Good Samaritan internist asked by hospital officials to review Angelo's cases, and he spotted the patterns.
"I looked over the records, and it became obvious that all the patients had died or nearly died" under his care, Beyers said. "Just before the patients had problems, Angelo went in to attend to them."
Investigators exhumed dozens of bodies of people who had died suspiciously under his care. He was charged with six killings and convicted of four in 1989, and sentenced to 61 1/3 years in prison.
Angelo said after his arrest that he didn't intend to kill. He wanted to be a hero. "I wanted to create a situation where I would cause the patient to have some respiratory distress or some problem, and through my intervention or suggested intervention or whatever, come out looking like I knew what I was doing," he said at the time.

Since the launch of Nokia 808 PureView at Mobile World Congress 2012, it has been the talk of the town. This phone has received multiple awards including Best Mobile Device at Mobile World Congress 2012 and Best Imaging Innovation for 2012 from the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA), even before its commercial launch. Recently Nokia has declared that the Nokia 808 PureView will be available in Russia and India from this month. However, Nokia has not disclosed the exact dates of roll out.
One month ago we have covered Nokia 808 PureView's expected release date. Seems, it has become true.
Press Release
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today confirmed that the Nokia 808 PureView will start rolling out in select markets in May. The Nokia 808 PureView is the first smartphone to feature Nokia's award-winning PureView technology. PureView represents Nokia's highest level smartphone imaging experiences, bringing together high-performance sensors, exclusive Carl Zeiss optics, and Nokia developed imaging algorithms. The first markets to begin selling the Nokia 808 PureView include Russia and India.
Since its launch in February, the Nokia 808 PureView has received multiple awards, including Best Mobile Device at Mobile World Congress 2012, as well as an award for Best Imaging Innovation for 2012 from the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA).
"PureView has completely raised the bar on imaging performance for the whole smartphone industry – and Nokia is not stopping here," said Jo Harlow, Head of Smart Devices at Nokia. "We're going to carry on developing PureView for our future smartphones in ways that will again revolutionize the imaging experience."
The Nokia 808 PureView features a large, high-resolution 41 megapixel sensor with high-performance Carl Zeiss optics and new pixel oversampling technology. At standard resolutions (2/3, 5 and 8 megapixels) this means the ability to zoom without loss of clarity and capture seven pixels of information, condensing into one pixel for the sharpest images imaginable. At high-resolution (38 megapixels maximum) it means the ability to capture an image, then zoom, reframe, crop and resize afterwards to expose previously unseen levels of details. With superior low-light performance and the ability to save in compact file sizes for sharing in email, MMS, and on social networks, the Nokia 808 PureView makes it possible for anyone to capture professional looking images in any conditions.
In addition to superior still imaging technology, the Nokia 808 PureView also includes full HD 1080p video recording and playback with 4X lossless zoom and the world's first use of Nokia Rich Recording. Rich Recording enables audio recording at CD-like levels of quality, previously only possible with external microphones. The Nokia 808 PureView also features exclusive Dolby Headphone technology, transforming stereo content into a personal surround sound experience over any headphones and Dolby Digital Plus for 5.1 channel surround sound playback.
Check out our Nokia 808 PureView photo gallery.

I found this 5.11 GWP Notebook Wallet while browsing ebay and the cost was similar to both Maxpedition and Rite in the Rain 3x5 notebook covers that I've bought for my pa in the past, so I bid and won the one that was up for auction to give it try for everyday carry, with the total being under $15 shipped. I didn't see it listed on the 5.11 website, so I don't know if it's a current new production item or an older discontinued one.
The pouch color was listed as 'STORM' which is near that gray/green foliage color on the exterior, with a patch of velcro to add/customize with your own flag or moral patch, and it came with an included tan 3x5 Rite in the Rain notebook.
The orange colored interior has one inside pocket on the right side, for the back cover of the notebook to slide into, or possibly for storing other items instead.
There's a knotted loop of orange cord (not paracord) attached to the zipper pull, and I'm gonna replace it with paracord and maybe pimp it out with a Schmuckatelli Co. lanyard bead.
There's a strap of elastic webbing sewn across the inner left side with three
openings for pens, pencils, pocket knife, multitool, flashlights, or
other EDC gadgets and gear. A length of orange webbing is also sewn on the left side with a keyring at the end.
The backside of the pouch has MOLLE webbing
sewn in place along with a couple of sturdy webbing attachment straps
with button snaps, that are meant to stay connected to the pouch since
they won't slide out of the plastic clips they fit through at the top of
the pouch.
If the pouch is not attached to webbing on or inside another bag/pack,
the straps can be tucked underneath its own webbing, or left out to
slide on a belt, and adjusted for fit with running its straps under and
out the MOLLE webbing.

The Dress has come to town. You know as in the one worn by the Girl in the Yellow Dress in the titular segment of Contact, John Weidman and Susan Stromans trio of dance narratives that capture romantic flash points. Not since the Turin shroud has a piece of fabric received as much advance buzz as costumer William Ivey Longs creation, now on display at the Ahmanson Theater. Contact, in case youve spent the past two years in a Taliban prison, is the musical thats not exactly a musical because its score is drawn from classical compositions and old pop standards, and because the vocals you hear onstage are canned. That the show won 2000s best-musical Tony is a testament about how flexible Broadway has become as much as the state of the contemporary musical.
The first story, Swinging, is a coy reimagining of Fragonards painting The Swing that rococo up-skirt fantasy that, here, posits an arcing mademoiselle (Mindy Franzese Wild) losing her shoe as an aristocrat (Andrew Asnes) and his studly hired man (Keith Kuhl) watch in a garden below. Mostly teased along by Stéphane Grappellis violin musings, this piece sports some genuine surprises as it plugs into the the swingin three-way suggested by Fragonards canvas: Just when we think we know whos seducing whom and whos master and servant, the relationships morph into something more complicated and kinky. Director Stroman obliges with trapezey, Behind the Green Door choreography that is both sexy and athletic.

The half-hour Did You Move? is about a married couple visiting a mid-1950s Queens Italian restaurant. The husband (Adam Dannheisser) is one of those guys born with a bad mood and a hair-trigger temper; his wife (Meg Howrey) is a gentle soul who withdraws into balletic fantasies every time her spouse leaves the table to track down some fuckin rolls. It is in this scene that Contact takes flight, with Stromans food-throwing, table-hopping choreography sustaining the wifes childlike reverie. And if her dreamy escapism seems familiar, writer Weidman takes his narrative to an unexpected level of heartbreak, for just when we think Howreys character has broken out of her submissiveness and free of her oppressive marriage, sullen reality returns with a tray of dinner rolls. This moment, when the crippling weight of her matrimonial chains seems to crush her, is cruel and brutal. And yet honest this is, after all, 1954, and another title for this piece might be Last Exit to Queens.
The final story, Contact, combines Ambrose Bierce, Martin Scorseses After Hours and any number of Swing-era Looney Tunes about shy cats learning to jitterbug. I wish I hadnt heard all the hype about The Dress its all right, I guess, a tight and clingy garment that accommodates the aerodynamics of its wearers movements, and seems ageless to boot, making it the perfect piece of costuming for dancers. But The Dress has also come to define Contact, and unfortunately the segment it inhabits is not that impressive a bit of storytelling. In it, successful but depressed TV ad director Michael Wiley (Alan Campbell) contemplates hanging himself after receiving yet another Clio award. Hes lured to a meat-packing-district pool hall that doubles as a swing-danceteria at night. Its here that he encounters the mysterious Miss Yellow Dress (Holly Cruikshank), the center of every mans attention during the pool halls nightly bacchantic rituals. The lead-footed Wileys pathetic attempts to woo her through dance have a certain amount of geeky charm, but they and their payoff also come with an unwanted amount of predictability the story is simply too familiar and is not helped by Stromans dance plan, which seems like Grease by other means.
Even here, though, Contact confides its secret message, that romance is not necessarily the desire for another person, but the desire for change that it is not about the redemption of love so much as the love of redemption. In all three vignettes, things change sexual relationships, marital realities and suicidal tendencies; tied together by the recurring pop of champagne corks and the appearance of a cupid statue, Contact plays on our dreams of transformation, dreams that always end with the words Maybe tomorrow.

Times have changed since the days when a homeowner would walk the rows of field-grown nursery stock in the springtime, select his plants, and have them dug to take home.
Containerization is the rule today and has changed much of our gardening from a seasonal activity to a year-round pursuit. In the milder parts of the country, for example, you can plant a shrub or install an entire garden 12 months of the year. Even in the coldest areas of the North, you can plant containerized trees and shrubs any time the ground can be worked.
Since plants in the nurseries are grown in containers, it behooves all of us to learn how to handle them well. It's clear that many of us don't know how to handle them when a nursery guarantees all the plant material its staff plants, but none which the homeowner installs.
The simplest form of containing the root ball is the old ball-and-burlap system.
In Michigan, a neighbor decided to transplant a viburnum in his yard. The plant had not grown or bloomed for three years. When he unearthed the rootball, it was quite apparent why the shrub had not made any progress. The roots were still tightly encased in the burlap wrappings. While burlap fabric of jute will decay, allowing the roots to penetrate the surrounding soil, a plastic burlaplike material will hold up for a long time.
Another neighbor, while moving a shrub, found the roots of his plant still tied with nylon rope.
So pay attention to the packaging of the nursery plants which you buy. If the wrapping is plastic or the string nylon, eliminate it completely.
Even with natural burlap packaging, either remove it or slash the burlap several times before setting the plant in the ground. Because I like to see the root system of any tree or shrub I buy, I tend to remove coverings completely unless handling a huge tree.
Metal cans are another method of containing plants. If you buy shrubs in metal, ask your nurseryman to cut the can for you and be careful not to cut yourself when handling the plant in your yard.
The pressed-paper containers are easy to slice open with a sharp knife.
Most plants you buy today will be in plastic pots and range from a two-inch minipot to a large 10-gallon size. The plastic pots have sloping sides and are meant to be slipped off rather than cut off. Small ones are easy to handle, but it's really a two-man job to wrestle an eight-foot tree out of a 10-gallon pot and into the ground.
When you're preparing to plant your containerized material, keep in mind the old saw about digging a $5 hole for a 50-cent plant. It's still a good idea. Before planting your tree, vine, or shrub, dig a generous hole and prepare the soil.
Whether you are dealing with clay or sandy soil, improve it with liberal amounts of peat moss, compost, or other organic materials.
Before you put the canned material in the ground, check the root system. Ideally, any container plant is brought to market just as the fibrous roots fill the pot and make a solid root mass. However, if the plant has been in the container too long, it may have roots going round and round.
Jerry Mailman, a horticulture instructor in California, will routinely take a sharp knife and make four vertical cuts on the outside of a root ball from a can. I often use his method. Sometimes I just unwind the circling roots and prune them off.
Root pruning encourages good growth of new fibrous roots to support the plant.
Traditional advice is to prune back the top of your shrub the same amount that you have pruned the roots. Keep the plant in balance. A recent study, however, suggests that leaving more top growth on a newly planted tree or shrub is desirable.
Water your new plantings frequently and faithfully the first season so that they will become well established. If you have planted and maintained your shrubs and trees properly, it will be obvious next year.

Interview with Varun Tej about Loafer MovieApr 13, 2016 07:05 AM
Varun Tej is busy promoting his third film Loafer which is up for a release this Thursday. On this occasion, here is a detailed interview. Here is the transcript.
What made you sign Loafer ?
I always wanted to do different films in my career. After Kanche, I felt that I should showcase my commercial angle and who better than Puri Jagan to showcase me in such manner.
Were you ok with the title Loafer ?
Initially, I found it quite odd but as the shoot progressed, I felt Loafer is the apt title. You will know it better once you watch the film.
What preparation did you undergo for your role ?
I never underwent any preparation and blindly followed Puri garu and did what he asked.
What kind of image are you expecting with this film ?
I don't want to get into any image and that is the reason I am doing different films. Frankly speaking, I want to be an actor more than a star.
What kind of role are you playing in the film ?
I play a conman who is quite rash in life. My look has also been designed on these lines.
Tell us about your working experience with Revathi and Posani ?
Revathi mam is such a senior actress and our chemistry has worked out quite well, especially in the emotional scenes. I share a very interesting bond with Posani garu and all our scenes are quite funny.
What is your favourite Puri Jagan film ?
I loved Badri, Idiot and Pokiri. The way Puri showcases his heroes is superb and I am very lucky that I got to do a film with him so early in my career.
When will you do a multi-starrer ?
I would love to do a film with anyone in my family. It would be huge fun working with them.
How different are you from other heroes in the mega family ?
Everybody has their own aura and following. Coming to me, I feel that I am doing different films and trying to establish myself as an actor.
What do you have to say about the recent slogans that mega fans shouted during the audio launch ?
I have no problem with all those things and Prabhas anna also took it quite easy. I cannot point it as a mistake and it is because of fans that we are here.
Your working experience with Disha Patani ?
Oh ! I had a great time working with her. She looks gorgeous and is a fantastic dancer. All our scenes have come out quite well.
What are your future projects ?
A film with Krish is in talks currently. I want to take a break and work on my fitness.

1 large beet
1 apple
2 carrots
1- Wash all produce and cut into chunks.
2- Push all ingredients thru the Hamilton Beach Juice Extractor.
I am walking every day - I would love to eat more fruits and vegetables - I find they are very expensive to buy! (ok, maybe that is just a bad excuse!) A juicer sounds like a lot of fun to use!! so much goodness!ReplyDelete
Hi Hélène, I'm very happy to have discovered your blog today. I look forward to browsing your recipes. I too am a big fan of beets and this juice looks incredible, love the colour.ReplyDelete
To be healthier I would like to go for a walk at least 4 times/week + eating more veggies and fruits.ReplyDelete
Eating healthy, no processed foods or GMO foods. I would like to exercise more though.ReplyDelete
This would be great to get the family healthier!ReplyDelete
I definitely want to eat healthier and put more veggies and fruit into my dietReplyDelete
we try to ensure that 1/2 of our dinner plate is veggie filled.
I am trying to say away from pop & drink more water. I have a long way to go in eating healthier. I have read about juicing but we don't own a juicer or blender. I think it would help us greatly to get those daily doses of real vegetables in a easy delicious way.ReplyDelete
im drinking more water everyday and trying to be more active this year with my kidsReplyDelete
The juicer is awesome for getting all those nutrients in one drink. My mission is to continue to buy local organic foods and eat healthy, to really pay attention to labels and where our food comes from! Thanks for an amazing giveaway! :)ReplyDelete
I am cutting back on junk food and drinking more water. Next I need to start getting more fruit & veggies in my diet. (Judy Cowan)ReplyDelete
We make smoothies everyday, but our juicer broke - so we need a new one to make delicious juices!! My husband and I are doing the GSP 8 week fitness regime and I'm also doing another fitness challenge for 12 weeks. Health & fitness are really important to me and my family.ReplyDelete
I am trying to cut sugars and carbs to get healthier.ReplyDelete
I am choosing healthier choices adding more veggies and fruit to my diet.

I have been trying to 'snack' better lately, keeping more hand held fruits and veggies in the house, like cherry tomatoes, bananas, etc.ReplyDelete
Changing my eating habits (no late night snacking, cutting out sugary food and carbs) and most importantly quitting smokingReplyDelete
I'm eating healthier and being more active.ReplyDelete
I am trying to eat more vegetables and go to the gym more often.ReplyDelete
I would like to become more active and not skip breakfast.ReplyDelete
I working on getting healthier by walking at least 10K of steps every day, its hard because I have a job that I set all dayReplyDelete
I'm having a healthy fruit smoothie for breakfast (and sometime lunch) everyday and feel much better for it, but I've yet to try juicing. Does the beet flavour come through very strong in your beet, carrot and apple juice? I'm not a beet fan but I'm game to try it. :)ReplyDelete
I've been adding probiotics to my smoothies.ReplyDelete
I'm doing strength training every other day and making all our food from scratch -- no more processed foods in my house.ReplyDelete

I'm trying to drink more water and eat more fruit and veggies every day!ReplyDelete
I am trying to start exercising and cutting back on carbsReplyDelete
I take more vitamin D and omega-3's, eat breakfast more often (I used to skip it), and now I try to walk more.ReplyDelete
I would love to get back to the gym. Three years ago, I was going twice a day, most days. I also was participating in Jiu Jitsu classes. I would really love get back to getting back at that.ReplyDelete
I need to ear more fresh produce (specifically fruit... I tend to stick to vegetables) and I definitely need to drink more waterReplyDelete
I am trying to drink more smoothies and add more water to my diet!ReplyDelete

From Billy Rouse: The Ethiopian Champion beaten by MVP this week on Smackdown was actually (I guess former) TNA wrestler D-Ray 3000.
We received a report of a problem with ordering Wrestlemania 23 in Pennsylvania on Comcast Cable.
From Josh Howard: I am in Blacksburg, Virginia, and I couldn't order Wrestlemania tonight either. I bought the PPV, but nothing but a black screen was there. I finally got someone on the phone at 7:20pm, but they had no idea what was wrong... so I missed out. Just letting you know.
From Calvin Lasister: I read about others having problems, but I did as well. Ordered it earlier in the day, turned on at 5:30 as it said and up came a message about Ordering not being able to place with a phone number attached. Tried for an hour to call, finally got through, and they started denying a problem and blamed us for any problems. PPV finally came on for me near the end of the Money in the Bank match, sadly the one I was looking forward too. And this was in Kansas City.

About greg72nova
greg72nova , from Kansas, has been a Family Tree Circles member since Mar 2010. is researching the following names: WALKER, KATRENICS, CRAWFORD and 2 other(s).
I am principally interested in Crawfords in Scotland, my grandparents on one side immigrated to the US in the 1920s, Katrenics from Hungary where a grandfather emmigrated from, and Walkers in the US generally in the Chicago IL area. I am just getting started on this using family trees started on several sides of the family.

Pediatric and Developing Brains. Neonates to Adolescents
(Han, Ansari, Joanisse, Morton, Cusack, Menon)
Functional neuroimaging in pediatrics (incl. neonates) is highly challenging. Motion artifacts result in significant rejection of data, and limited attention spans place severe restrictions on paradigm length. Ongoing multi-modality research programs are studying neurocognitive development in infants and children, both from the standpoint of normal development, and within the context of developmental disorders (e.g. autism spectrum disorders). New MRI developments are essential for the extension of fMRI, DTI and other advanced MRI/MRS protocols into neonatal populations, for whom diagnostic and prognostic tools for future quality-of-life are extremely limited.
Neonatal Neuroimaging. Perinatal brain injury is a major health problem of rising incidence with potential life-long consequences. It can lead to cognitive and behavioural abnormalities including cerebral palsy, epilepsy and learning difficulties. The behavioural, neuroanatomical and electrophysiological abnormalities detectable by currently available methodologies are poor predictors of long-term impairments. While there has been much research on the functional evaluation of the brain in adults using the tools of cognitive neuroscience (particularly EEG/ERPs and fMRI), these methods have not yet been adapted to provide valuable clinical tools to assess neonatal brain function. Research in this theme is aimed at advancing MRI technology to develop tools that will allow prediction of long-term neuro-cognitive outcomes that can be administered non-invasively in the first week(s) of life. Prof. Cusack is optimizing MR parameters to match the long relaxation times of the neonatal brain at 3T, deal with the large movements and develop real-time slice reorientation using the M-R Eye. The auditory system is well developed at birth and can provide a measure of cortical reactivity and the integrity of the ascending neural pathway through the brainstem and midbrain using fMRI. Working with Grahn, beat-based rhythms will be used to stimulate the motor system (disrupted in cerebral palsy) and by varying the timescale of repetition, memory can be probed. The presentation of complex sounds will test sound recognition, and the repetition of patterns will probe statistical learning (both critical in normal language trajectories). NSERC/CIHR has just awarded a CHRP grant for the fMRI study of neonates to Cusack and Han.
Neuroimaging in Children. Currently we focus our research on school age children (≥6yrs old), due to the difficulty that younger children can have with remaining still during 45-60 minute MRI session even with tools like our "0 T" simulator and system to provide motion feedback to children during practice. New infrastructure will allow neuroimaging of younger children through faster volume acquisition and real time motion correction. Studies of pre-literate (<6yrs) children at risk for dyslexia or pre-numerate children at risk for dyscalculia provide critical insights into early identification, and causation at the neural level. Early intervention is key, and members of the team are using fMRI and MRI to investigate the effects of early intervention in the domains of reading, number and cognitive control on the brain. Prof. Ansari's research examines the development of mathematical abilities in children, with specific regard to how they develop a sense of number, and subsequently learn to enumerate and calculate. This will also involve studying children with dyscalculia, a learning disorder that is marked by impairment in numerical calculation abilities. Prof. Morton studies the development of mental flexibility and cognitive control and seeks to identify the neural substrates of these abilities (such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) and trace their functional development over childhood, using simultaneous event related potentials (ERPs) and fMRI. Prof. Joanisse investigates typical and atypical oral language development in these younger children. He focuses on identifying the earliest risk factors for language and reading disorders, including developmental dyslexia. This will include ERP studies of both spoken and written language processing in children with and without dyslexia or oral language impairment, following up on a recently completed study that has used fMRI to examine spoken language processing deficits in children with dyslexia. The ability to acquire both ERP (with the Geodesics system) and fMRI within a single session at either field strength would allow us to maximize the complementary strengths of the two, allowing us to know both the "where" and "when" of neural processes in developing brains.
