NEW YORK, N.Y.—NBC's America's Got Talent is moving from New Jersey to New York City's Radio City Music Hall.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo made the announcement Wednesday.
The eighth season of the popular talent competition will air live from the landmark theatre twice a week, starting July 23.
The show is relocating from the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark.
Cuomo says the move will create more than 500 jobs and generate $100 million each season. New York state recently extended its film production tax credit to attract television shows to the state.

Made in Italy, and ergonomically shaped for comfort, the stylish, ALA Canvas and Leather Camera Neck Strap with Metal Ring from 4V Design will hold a DSLR with an attached lens. The ALA follows the natural curves of your neck. The strap is pre-curved and padded to help distribute weight evenly. The inside features an attractive suede lining. And for added visual appeal, the edges of the neck strap are trimmed in leather and hand painted. 4V Design neck straps come in a variety of colors. The strap may be worn from the neck or cross body and is adjustable from 42.1 - 51.6". The strap has a metal ring for easy camera attachment. Your ALA strap has a unique leather fold with snap that's designed to gather the strap for compact storage. Photographers will appreciate the embossed 4V logo and Made in Italy, which, along with choice of materials and construction that bespeak attention to detail and fine craftsmanship.
ALA straps are specifically designed to carry medium to large cameras. ALA are the ideal companion for Medium Format, Professional and Medium DSLS's and also for advanced mirrorless cameras.
All edges are carefully painted and beautifully finished for a unmistakable superior quality touch. This is a very time-consuming technique that requires an exceptional high precision cutting, stitching and painting. The hand-painted edges are not only just for cosmetics, but also a key detail to enhance the comfort. The rounded and smoother edges provide in fact a smoother contact with the skin for a surprising ergonomics experience.
Watch wrist straps are beautifully stitched and refined thanks to the skill of 4V Design experienced Italian artisans. The beauty of the stitching is especially emphasised in the colour versions with contrasting cyan stitching. Contrast stitching is usually avoided in leather production since it highlights stitching defects. At 4V Design they are so confident in their artisan's' skill and quality that they proudly use contrast stitching to sign their masterpieces.
4V Design straps feature a custom connection band based on an exclusive design. This 10mm band is soft, comfortable, exceptionally strong and durable like no others. It is made of 100% polyamide and derives from military application bands. Its special design allows for a very high resistance to tear, wear and cut. The herringbone design makes much stronger stitched connections and the camera weight is distributed over a higher number of treads for increased durability. The band end is uniquely "folded & stitched". This solution makes 4V straps much safer by preventing the band slipping out of the buckle accidentally. The sleek metal buckle is very compact, with rounded edges and easy to grab thanks to the ergonomic design.

A Global Review of Current Issues and Approaches in Policy, Programming and Implementation Responses to School-Related Gender-Based Violence (SRGBV) for the Education Sector
Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global phenomenon that knows no geographical, cultural, social, economic, ethnic, or other boundaries. It occurs across all societies and represents a brutal violation of human rights, the worst manifestation of gender-based discrimination and a major obstacle to the achievement of gender equality. It is tolerated and sustained by social institutions, including the school, the very place where we expect our children to be safe and protected. It is a serious obstacle to the right to education and learning, with implications for the ways that people understand and enact their social lives and exercise their citizenship.
The extent to which children are exposed to school-related gender-based violence (SRGBV) was brought to the attention of the international community by two studies commissioned by the United Nations Secretary-General in the past decade: the Global Study on Violence against Children1 and the In-depth Study on All Forms of Violence against Women, both published in 2006.2 The global presence of SRGBV seriously compromises the ability of UNESCOs Member States and the international community to meet commitments towards the provision of human rights.
Education has been identified as one of the priority areas for strategic intervention. However, the transformative potential of schools to empower individuals, to champion gender equality and challenge violence against women and girls depends on a school environment that is itself safe and violence free. This review of current issues and approaches in policy, programming and implementation responses to SRGBV has been commissioned by the HIV and Health Education section in the Education Sector at UNESCO to contribute to the development of comprehensive evidence-informed policy guidelines for the prevention and elimination of SRGBV in and through education.

Man Rescued From Swan River After Trying To Catch A Pokemon
A man has been rescued after falling into the Swan River trying to "catch 'em all".
Police were called to the Barrack Street Jetty about 12.45am after a security guard saw a man fall from the jetty into the water and raised the alarm.
By the time they arrived, the guard had pulled the man from the water.
He told the officers he was leaning over the jetty trying to catch a Pokemon.
He did not need medical attention, other than for perhaps a bruised ego.

We're a stealthy new startup founded by three awesome guys, including Joshua Schachter, founder of del.icio.us and the inventor of tags. Tasty Labs plans to launch something that will make a meaningful difference in the lives of ordinary folks.
See this techcrunch article for more on us: http://techcrunch.com/2010/11/02/tasty-labs/
To start, sophisticated internet users- the same folks who use Flickr, Delicious, Twitter, etc. It should be something that is sophisticated, approachable, and elegant. The logo should be something that people would want on a shirt and is recognizable from 20 feet away when 4 inches tall.
The original del.icio.us site embodies many of our values in terms of design:
However, the world has progressed since del.icio.us was built in the early 2000's.
We can think of a couple directions this can go-
Direction 1:
Think bauhaus, not baroque. We're big fans of industrial and midcentury design. The logo should be clean, crisp, and easily recognizable, even without the name. Avoid using glossy effects like on iPhone icons.
Direction 2:
Something appealing and appetizing. Bright colors and playful themes conjure associations with candy and the enjoyment of food.
This will primarily be used on our web site, as well as on our family of consumer websites (i.e. "A Tasty Labs Production") on a webpage footer. This will also be used on t-shirts and business cards, so this logo needs to work in full color and monochrome versions.
Versions of the logo (png is fine for concepts, but should be vector in final version):
Full wordmark + logo

Monochrome version (letterhead, etc)
Large version (around 250px wide)
Tiny version (about 15-20px tall and including wordmark)

Alger (1832 - 1899) was one of the most influential
American authors of the 19th century, who wrote Young Musician, The.
A prolific author, he wrote more than a hundred books on the same
theme: that honesty, cheerfulness, virtue,
thrift, and hard work would be rewarded with success.
While his plots and dialogue sometimes lacked creativity, he can
be credited with helping to create an uniquely American philosophy
of Strive and Succeed. Titles such as Sink or Swim,
Shifting for Himself, and Young Musician, The convinced generations
that they could triumph over their circumstances and become an Alger
Stratemeyer was a prolific author and went on to set up the Stratemeyer
Syndicate which was responsible for the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew.
After Stratemeyer's death, the syndicate operated under the leadership
of his daughter Harriet Adams Stratemeyer.
11. What is the formula for an Horatio Alger story?
An adolescent boy with a rural back ground sets off to earn his
livelihood in an urban setting. He triumphs over circumstances
and temptation and starts advancing in his career. At some point,
he will be betrayed or falsely accused by one of his peers. Ultimately,
the hero will be vindicated. While pluck and hard work play a role
in the success of an Alger hero, there is always an older male who
takes on the hero as his protégé. That mentor plays a critical
role in the success of the Alger hero. The Alger hero never takes
revenge on those who mistreated him. He secures what is rightfully
his, but he is never vindictive. Alger heroes never have romantic
interests. As they leave adolescence, these heroes leave his books
except to play the role of mentors for the new generation of Alger

13. What does the Horatio Alger "Strive and Succeed"
philosophy consist of? Are there contemporary versions of it?
There are several elements in the Horatio Alger "Strive and
Succeed" Philosophy:
15. How did Horatio Alger, Jr. come to leave the ministry?
Early in 1866, Horatio Alger, Jr.'s contract was up for renewal.
Some members of the church board did not want to renew the contract
because they were concerned that Alger was not married and that
he seemed to spend too much time with the congregation's group for
boys, the temperance cadets. Other members of the board supported
Alger. In the absence of specific allegations, they felt the contract
should be renewed. The board delayed the decision for a week and
launched an investigation of their minister. The thirteen year
old son of a member of the church board, after questioning, told
his father that Alger had had sexual contact with him. The boy
had gone to Alger's rooms to return a book, leaving his younger
sister in a carriage. When the boy entered his room, Alger allegedly
locked the door and molested the boy. The ensuing investigation
named a second boy (aged 15) as being involved with Alger. The
report of the committee implies there may have been other boys involved.
Alger did not reply specifically to the charges. Rather he admitted
to acting "imprudently." The charges did not use clinical
language. Rather they mention "unnatural familiarity with
boys." To avoid a public hearing on the charges, the
church board allowed Alger to resign from his post and the ministry
and leave town immediately. Subsequent to leaving Brewster,
Alger continued to publish in youth journals affiliated with the
church. When a member of the Brewster church complained that Alger's
influence over young boys was dangerous, the publisher of the journal,
Joseph H. Allen, a church elder familiar with the Brewster incident,
replied that Alger was entitled to earn a living. Scholars
did not unearth evidence of the Brewster incident until more than
one hundred years later. Apparently, the records of the local church
in Brewster and the Unitarian Convention were incomplete on this
point. This is to be expected since the mater did not proceed to
a formal hearing. Part of the Horatio Alger formula is that
the hero is falsely accused and loses his job because of manufactured
evidence. The motivation for the false evidence is that someone
wants the hero's job. The Horatio Alger hero leaves quietly without
responding to the charges. Later events exonerate the hero. This
element of the formula dates from before the time of the Brewster
episode. Shortly after the Brewster incident, Alger wrote
a poem "Friar Anselmo" whose subject had committed some
significant sin and devoted the rest of his life to good works as
atonement. The friar achieves some sort of peace, realizing the
world will be a better place if he continues to live and continues
his ministry. For Alger, writing for boys was his ministry.
16. What authors have updated or parodied the Horatio Alger
formula story?
Theodore Dreiser frequently parodies Alger. _The Financier_
is an attempt to modernize the Alger myth. Its hero is Frank Algernon
Cowperwood. Raymond Feist, the science fiction writer, has
used some Horatio Alger themes in the Serpent War Saga. F.
Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is an Alger parody.
Gatsby is the antithesis of the typical Alger hero. Lawrence
Sanders, the writer of hard-boiled detective fiction, wrote two
stories for _Playboy_, "The Adventures of Chauncey Alcock"
(April, 1972)and "The Further Adventures of Chauncey Alcock"
(December, 1972). The stories are sex comedies in the Horatio Alger
style. A Nathaniel West novel, _A Cool Million_ parodies the
Alger formula quite mercilessly (literally tearing a classic Alger
hero into pieces, limb by limb) and simultaneously uses his language
(whole paragraphs out of Alger novels). Hunter S. Thompson,
_Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas_ parodies the Ager myth. Raoul Duke,
Thompson's alter ego, refers to himself as a "monster reincarnation"
of Horatio Alger. In the movie, Johnny Depp plays Thompson.
Or, more precisely, Raoul Duke, the alias Thompson uses while he
and Acosta scam their way from Glitter Gulch to the Strip in search
of "Free Enterprise. The American Dream. Horatio Alger gone
mad on drugs in Las Vegas."
17. What is the Horatio Alger Society?
The Horatio Alger Society is a group organized " To further
the philosophy of Horatio Alger, Jr., and to encourage the spirit
ofStrive and Succeed that for half a century guided Alger's undaunted
heroes ..."
The members of the society are Alger collectors and scholars. Many
collect other juvenile series as well as Horatio Alger. The Newsboy
is the official newsletter of the Horatio Alger Society. It is published
bi-montly (six issues per yearThe Horatio Alger Society has its
own web site: http://www.ihot.com/~has
The e-mail address for the Horatio Alger Society is
18. Did any of Alger's juvenile novels have female protagonists?
Two of the juvenile novels had female protagonists: _Helen
Ford_ (1866) (prior to Ragged Dick) and _Tattered
Tom_ (1871)(after Ragged Dick)

Belmont, Mi — Just two-and-a-half years after opening its doors, the Wolverine World Wide Family YMCA in Belmont, MI, has undergone a $2 million, 17,795-square-foot expansion. The expansion increases the facility's size by nearly 40 percent.
After 24 months in operation, the Y found itself at capacity — serving more than 9,600 members — almost double the number the facility had projected for its original opening.
The Y helped raise $900,000 for the expansion, says Ron Nelson, president and CEO of the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids (the Y umbrella organization of all Ys in the Grand Rapids, MI, area).
The expansion added more family locker rooms, an expanded Kid Zone, a multipurpose room, a youth and family gymnasium, a kids' fitness center, and the James Balk Family Wellness Center.

The Week Ahead
UC Santa Barbara will host Cal Poly in a three-game Big West Conference series this weekend at Campus Diamond. The Gauchos and Mustangs will match-up in a doubleheader on Saturday and conclude their set with a single game on Sunday.
Blue-Green Rivalry
This weekend's series is part of the Blue-Green Rivalry between UCSB and Cal Poly. As the Gauchos and Mustangs battle it out on the field, diamond, court, and in the pool, the Big West rivals will seek to make fans and students aware of their campuses' recycling and sustainability efforts. The eco-slant to the rivalry fits the colors of sustainability (blue and green) as well as those of UCSB (blue) and Cal Poly (green). The Blue-Green Rivalry is based on the results of the 16 common sports that the schools compete in and the Gauchos currently lead the series, 7-5. For more information on the rivalry, click here.
A Note to Our Fans
If you are planning on driving onto campus on Saturday for this weekend's series, allow yourself some extra time to get onto campus and to find parking. UCSB will be hosting its Spring Insight Open House and the campus is expected to be bustling with extra visitors.
For The Record
UCSB enters this week with a 9-25 overall record, which is its slowest start to a season since 1991 when the team got out to a 7-27 start. The Gauchos are currently amidst an eight-game losing streak, tying their longest skid of the season that ran from Feb. 17 through Feb. 25. UCSB has posted a 1-8 record at Campus Diamond this season and its lone win at home was against Wisconsin on Feb. 25.
One Week, Two Story Lines
Last week the Gauchos played five games: a home doubleheader against Fresno State and its Big West opening series against Cal State Fullerton. UCSB lost all five games but each loss fell into one of two categories: two were narrow losses (including one decided in extra innings), while the other three were decided by eight or more runs in mercy-rule decisions. The Gauchos have gone 1-8 in games cut short by the run rule this season.
Mustang Musings
Defending Big West Champion Cal Poly enters this weekend's series with a 12-17 overall record and a 1-2 mark in conference play after dropping two of three to UC Riverside last week. Anna Cahn leads the team batting .352 on the season and also leads the Mustang pitchers with her 1.96 ERA. During last season's series with the Mustangs, the Gauchos were swept by way of 12-5, 6-0 and 6-5 (11 innings) scores. UCSB's last series win over Cal Poly was in 2008 when they swept the three-game set with the Mustangs.
Around The Big West
Cal State Fullerton holds the top spot in conference after its sweep of the Gauchos last week while UC Riverside, UC Davis and Pacific are tied for second after each won their conference openers two games to one over Cal Poly, Cal State Northridge and Long Beach, respectively.
Leading Lady
Despite the Gauchos' struggles this season, senior Jessica Ziegler is having a tremendous year at the plate. The leadoff hitter leads UCSB and the Big West with her 40 hits and ranks second in the conference with her career-best .354 batting average and 17 stolen bases. Her 13 multi-hit games also lead the Big West and she ranks eighth with her 18 runs.
Making History
Speaking of Jessica Ziegler, she is currently solidifying her place in the UCSB record books. The senior moved to fourth all-time last week for career stolen bases after bringing her total to 46. She is six stolen bags away from tying Christine Ramos (2006-09) for third. Additionally, her seven hits last week helped her crack the career hits top-10 list as she now ranks 10th.
Beristianos' Big (West) Weekend
Jessica Beristianos started the Big West schedule with a bang last week. The third baseman led the team batting .600 (6-for-10) - which leads all conference players for BWC games - across the Fullerton series with a run, two doubles and two RBI. She tallied three hits in Sunday's game, tying her season-high. The junior is third on the team among regulars with her .264 average and is second with 10 RBI. She leads the Gauchos and is second in the Big West with eight doubles.
While We Are On The Subject
Beristianos is another Gaucho climbing through the all-time top-10 lists. The infielder recently cracked the RBI all-time list and is five away from tying ninth-ranked Lindsey Herrin's career output of 70 (2004-05). With her two doubles over the weekend, she tied Tonya Dias (1997-2000) for sixth all-time.
Brooke's Bat
Brooke Putich had a five-game hitting streak - her second longest of the year - snapped in the second game of the Fullerton series on Friday. The sophomore ranks second on the team with her .304 average, 13 runs, six stolen bases and 24 hits. She leads the team with her .392 slugging percentage.
Did You Know?
UCSB currently leads the conference in runners picked-off (4) and double plays (17). In fact, the Gauchos are just two double plays shy of tying the school record, which was set in 2004.
Hungry For A Homer
UCSB has tallied a limited number of round-trippers this season - seven to be exact - and hasn't hit one in 14 games. The last time UCSB ended a season with fewer than 10 homers was in 1996 (5).
A Record Worth Avoiding
It's no secret that the Gauchos have had their struggles in the circle this season and the result of that adversity may be a new school record that is not exciting to set. Currently the UCSB pitching staff owns a collective 5.60 ERA, which is on pace to surpass the program record for highest season ERA set in 2008 at 3.82. They are also four home runs and 27 runs away from matching the records for most allowed in a season, both also set in 2008.
Still In The Hunt
Prior to this year, UCSB has posted seven consecutive winning seasons. The Gauchos have 18 games remaining on the schedule and still have a chance to post their eighth-straight winning year. The Gauchos need to win their remaining 18 to finish with a winning record (27-25) or win 17 of their remaining 18 to finish at .500 (26-26).
Coach's Corner
Head coach Brie Galicinao, who is now in her third season at the helm of the UCSB softball program, recorded her 60th win when the Gauchos defeated Utah Valley on Feb. 13. Galicinao has coached the Gauchos to a 65-74 cumulative record for a .468 winning percentage, the second best by a UCSB coach since the softball program went Division I in 1982. Galicinao has coached three players to All-Region honors, two players to Big West Field Player of the Year accolades, one Big West Freshman Pitcher of the Year and 12 All-Big West Conference selections. In 2008, Galicinao was named the Big West Co-Coach of the Year after her first season leading the Gauchos.
Preseason Predictions
In the Big West Preseason Coaches' Poll that was released prior to the start of the season, UCSB was picked to repeat as the conference's fourth place team this year. The Gauchos garnered 43 points in the poll, 13 points behind first-place Cal Poly. Long Beach State (51 points) and Cal State Fullerton (50 points) were ranked second and third, respectively.

Being Ashley Wagner these days means competing in Paris Friday and Saturday nights, skating in a gala there Sunday afternoon, flying to New York Monday, performing at the Rockefeller Center ice rink and appearing on the Today Show Tuesday morning, visiting a third grade class at a Staten Island school and flying home to Los Angeles Wednesday afternoon, then preparing for her you-can't-get-there-from-here odyssey to the Grand Prix Final on the 2014 Winter Olympic rink at Sochi, Russia in two weeks.
And doing it with a head cold caught in Paris that remained very evident from her congested-sounding voice in a telephone conversation.
"This is a dream come true," Wagner said through sniffles. "This is the kind of life I have always wanted. It's exciting to be at this point in my career."
It is a point Wagner has reached after several seasons of being a physically gifted but mentally weak athlete, a skater talented enough that even when she came undone in a competition she almost was good enough to succeed.
"I knew I had the talent if I could mentally keep it together and perform well under pressure," she said.
Wagner had begun to call herself the Almost Girl until she finally won her first event as a senior-level skater, last January's U.S. Championships. She would go on to win the 2012 Four Continents Championship and finish fourth at the World Championships – best by a U.S. woman since 2007.
"I still didn't feel I had actually proved anything," she said. "I needed to show I was able to maintain that skating."
Done. She has started this season with victories at the Japan Open and Grand Prix events in the U.S. and France. Not since Sasha Cohen in 2003 had a U.S. woman won both her regular-season Grand Prix competitions.
At 21, Wagner has gone from the Almost Girl to the It Girl of U.S. skating, the one with attention-grabbing appeal as the Olympics get closer. Nike recently made her the first figure skater it has signed as a promoter. You can see her skate in the Pandora Unforgettable Holiday Moments on Ice show Sunday afternoon on NBC.
Wagner now is indisputably the best woman skater in the United States. This season, she has beaten all the world's leading women except reigning Olympic champion Kim Yu-Na of South Korea, who returns to competition next month after a year off.
"I am anticipating Kim will come back strong," said Wagner's coach, John Nicks. "She will be one of Ashley's main rivals – if not her only rival."
While the technical difficulty in Wagner's programs falls short of some rivals', notably those of 14-year-old Julia Lipnitskaia and 15-year-old Elizaveta Tuktamisheva - whom Wagner calls the "Russian skater babies" - the artistic quality of her programs is infinitely superior. Wagner brings a level of maturity and stability she has acquired during the six years it has taken her to distance herself from the overnight sensations who once regularly beat her.
In 2007, the 15-year-old Wagner finished third in the junior event at the U.S. and world championships to a pair of 13-year-olds, Caroline Zhang and Mirai Nagasu. A 14-year-old, Rachael Flatt, was fifth in that U.S. senior event. In the next three seasons, Flatt and Nagasu would go on to win U.S. senior titles and compete at the 2010 Olympics.
"People acted like I was the grandma in that group," Wagner said.
Flatt and Zhang are pretty much history. Nagasu is trying to revive her career after two disappointing seasons.
Few can handle having the pressure of great expectations added to the physical and psychological changes teenage girls experience and the changes in a sport demanding more and more meaningless, muscle-wrenching tricks.
"I was able to slowly work my way up," Wagner said. "The spotlight was never on me, so I could sort through everything on my own without anyone focusing on me. Once I was ready, I could handle more attention."
For all that, Wagner was getting ready to call it quits until she struck out on her own – quite literally – and moved from the East Coast to try working with Nicks before last season. She had dismissed the idea of a sports psychologist because it didn't mesh with the value of independence she had gained from a "strict military upbringing."
"The psychologist can't be out there on the ice with me," she said. "The fact I was able to achieve this with the help of no one but my coaches and the support of my family emotionally is very satisfying to me."
Her transformation in the past year has been breathtaking.
Now her schedule is too.

Émile Durkheim (April 15, 1858 – November 15, 1917) was a French sociologist whose contributions were instrumental in the formation of sociology, anthropology and religious studies. His work and editorship of the first journal of sociology (L'Année Sociologique) helped establish sociology within the academy as an accepted social science. Durkheim lectured and published sociological studies on subjects such as education, crime, religion, suicide and other aspects of society. He is often referred to as "The Father of Sociology".

There is no sociology worthy of the name which does not possess a historical character.
To pursue a goal which is by definition unattainable is to condemn oneself to a state of perpetual unhappiness.
Émile Durkheim … strove to insert and settle "society" in the place vacated by God and by Nature viewed as God's creation or embodiment—and thereby to claim for the nascent nation-state that right to articulate, pronounce and enforce moral commandments and command the supreme loyalties of its subjects; the right previously reserved for the Lord of the Universe.
Steven Lukes, Emile Durkheim: His Life and Work, a Historical and Critical Study. Stanford University Press, 1985.
It is not human nature which can assign the variable limits necessary to our needs. They are thus unlimited so far as they depend on the individual alone. Irrespective of any external regulatory force, our capacity for feeling is in itself an insatiable and bottomless abyss.
Durkheim points out that only the political state survived the French Revolution as a solitary factor of collectivization. As a result, a genuine social order has disappeared, the state emerging as the only collective organizing activity of the social character. The individual, free from all genuine social bonds, finds himself abandoned, isolated, and demoralized. Society becomes "a disorganized dust of individuals."
Man's characteristic privilege is that the bond he accepts is not physical but moral; that is, social. He is governed not by a material environment brutally imposed on him, but by a conscience superior to his own, the superiority of which he feels. Because the greater, better part of his existence transcends the body, he escapes the body's yoke, but is subject to that of society.

It is society which, fashioning us in its image, fills us with religious, political, and moral beliefs that control our actions.
Kant postulates God, since without this hypothesis morality is unintelligible. We postulate a society specifically distinct from individuals, since otherwise morality has no object and duty no roots.
Durkheim, The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life, (1912, English translation by Joseph Swain: 1915) The Free Press, 1965. ISBN 0-02-908010-X, new translation by Karen E. Fields 1995, ISBN 0029079373
A passion for the infinite is daily presented as a sign of moral distinction, when in fact it can only occur in disturbed minds which accord the status of a norm to the very disturbance from which they are suffering.
In short, all suicides of the insane are either devoid of any motive or determined by purely imaginary motives. Now, many voluntary deaths fall into neither category; the majority have motives, and motives not unfounded in reality. Not every suicide can therefore be considered insane, without doing violence to language.
At this point, an urgent question arises: … Is it our duty to seek to become a thorough and complete human being, one quite sufficient unto himself; or, on the contrary, to be only a part of a whole, the organ of an organism? Briefly, is the division of labor, at the same time that it is a law of nature, also a moral rule of human conduct; and, if it has this latter character, why and in what degree?
One of the most penetrating diagnoses of the capitalist culture in the nineteenth century was made by sociologist, E. Durkheim, who was neither a political nor a religious radical. He states that in modern industrial society the individual and the group have ceased to function satisfactorily; that they live in a condition of "anomie," that is, a lack of meaningful and structuralized social life; that the individual follows more and more "a restless movement, a planless self-development, an aim of living which has no criterion of value and in which happiness lies always in the future, and never in the present achievement."
In the name of the dogma of struggle for existence and natural selection, they paint for us in the saddest colors this primitive humanity whose hunger and thirst, always badly satisfied, were their only passions; those sombre times when men had no other care and no other occupation than to quarrel with one another over their miserable nourishment. To react against those retrospective reveries of the philosophy of the eighteenth century and also against certain religious doctrines, to show with some force that the paradise lost is not behind us and that there is in our past nothing to regret, they believe we ought to make it dreary and belittle it systematically. Nothing is less scientific than this prejudice in the opposite direction. If the hypotheses of Darwin have a moral use, it is with more reserve and measure than in other sciences. They overlook the essential element of moral life, that is, the moderating influence that society exercises over its members, which tempers and neutralizes the brutal action of the struggle for existence and selection. Wherever there are societies, there is altruism, because there is solidarity.
Now, it is unquestionable that language, and consequently the system of concepts which it translates, is the product of a collective elaboration. What it expresses is the manner in which society as a whole represents the facts of experience. The ideas which correspond to the diverse elements of language are thus collective representations. Even their contents bear witness to the same fact. In fact, there are scarcely any words among those which we usually employ whose meaning does not pass, to a greater or less extent, the limits of our personal experience. Very frequently a term expresses things which we have never perceived or experiences which we have never had or of which we have never been the witness. Even when we know some of the objects which it concerns, it is only as particular examples that serve to illustrate the idea which they would never have been able to form by themselves. Thus there is a great deal of knowledge condensed in the word which I never collected, and which is not individual; it even surpasses me to such an extent that I cannot even completely appropriate all its results. Which of us knows all the words of the language he speaks and the entire signification of each?
Opinion is steadily inclining towards making the division of labor an imperative rule of conduct, to present it as a duty. Those who shun it are not punished precise penalty fixed by law, it is true; but they are blamed. The time has passed when the perfect man was he who appeared interested in everything without attaching himself exclusively to anything, capable of tasting and understanding everything finding means to unite and condense in himself all that was most exquisite in civilization. … We want activity, instead of spreading itself over a large area, to concentrate and gain in intensity what it loses in extent. We distrust those excessively mobile talents that lend themselves equally to all uses, refusing to choose a special role and keep to it. We disapprove of those men whose unique care is to organize and develop all their faculties, but without making any definite use of them, and without sacrificing any of them, as if each man were sufficient unto himself, and constituted an independent world. It seems to us that this state of detachment and indetermination has something anti-social about it. The praiseworthy man of former times is only a dilettante to us, and we refuse to give dilettantism any moral value; we rather see perfection in the man seeking, not to be complete, but to produce; who has a restricted task, and devotes himself to it; who does his duty, accomplishes his work. "To perfect oneself," said Secrétan, "is to learn one's role, to become capable of fulfilling one's function. . . The measure of our perfection is no longer found in our complacence with ourselves, in the applause of a crowd, or in the approving smile of an affected dilettantism, but in the sum of given services and in our capacity to give more." [Le principe de la morale, p. 189] … We no longer think that the exclusive duty of man is to realize in himself the qualities of man in general; but we believe he must have those pertaining to his function. … The categorical imperative of the moral conscience is assuming the following form: Make yourself usefully fulfill a determinate function.

The entire tumor is cut away along with a wide margin of healthy tissue to make sure no cancer cells remain in the skin. The area affected will depend on the size and depth of the cancer. The remaining skin will need to be stitched together. If the area is too big, skin from another area of the body may be needed to cover the area. Skin scarring may be permanent.
In Mohs surgery, the visible part of the tumor is removed. The surrounding tissue is then removed in layers and examined under a microscope for the presence of cancer cells. This process is repeated until the most recent removed layer are free of cancer cells. This helps preserve as much tissue as possible.
Mohs surgery is used less often for melanoma. It is generally only used for stage 0—melanoma in situ.
If melanoma is found on a finger or toe, amputation of the part of all of digit may be necessary. This is not a common procedure.
Cancer can spread to the lymph nodes near the main tumor. Once there, it can travel to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system. During surgery, some or all of the lymph nodes suspected of having cancer will be removed and examined under a microscope. Removing lymph nodes may create permanent problems with the drainage of lymph fluid from the limbs called lymphedema. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of having lymph node dissection.
Surgery for Metastatic Melanoma
Surgery is not generally used for metastatic melanoma except in cases where it may relieve symptoms, prolong life, or improve quality of life.

Louisburg College has long been recognized as a Division I junior college national baseball power.
For Wednesday at least, Lenoir Community College joined that conversation.
The Division II Lancers rode some timely hitting, superb relief pitching, and took advantage of sloppy defense to knock off the Hurricanes 6-5 in a non-conference battle between the long-time rivals at Lancer Field.
�It was a good win against a good team and a good program,� LCC coach Stony Wine said. �It�s the kind of win that can build confidence and momentum for the rest of the season.�
LCC (13-2) broke a 5-5 tie with the winning run in the bottom of the eighth. A pair of former Greene Central standouts, Trent Murray and Ryan Cobb, keyed the rally.
Murray was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning and advanced to second on Cobb�s second perfect sacrifice bunt of the contest.
A wild pitch from Hurricanes reliever Alex Ledford ushered Murray to third, and then another ball in the dirt one batter later allowed Murray to trot home without a play at the plate.
The potential tying run reached third in the Louisburg ninth, but Robbie Hiser managed to strike out the side to earn the save.
Hiser�s clutch performance was the last of three such efforts from the Lancers relief corps.
After LCC starter Ben Jarboe departed with his team trailing 4-3, North Lenoir product Caleb Kearney entered and gave the Lancers exactly the prescription the doctor ordered: 4 2/3 innings of stellar relief, allowing just one run.
Travis Long got the final out of the eighth before giving way to Hiser in the ninth.
�Our relievers came in and did an outstanding job,� Wine said. �Caleb hadn�t pitched a lot this season but he was very sharp. Travis is experienced and we know what he can do, and Robbie hadn�t been on the mound in a game situation for several weeks. They all came through for us today.�
LCC started fast, building a 3-0 lead on Tyler Tant�s first-inning RBI single, and Kyle Smith�s two-RBI base hit in the second.
Both hits came with two out.
Louisburg (11-4) rallied with a pair of runs in the third and then took its only lead on Pete Guy�s massive two-run homer to left in the fourth.
The Lancers regained the advantage with two in the sixth. The first run came home on an error, and the other scored when Cobb proved that he�s not just a terrific bunter with a solid RBI single to left.
LCC also blew some chances, leaving eight runners stranded, including five in scoring position.
�It wasn�t perfect but we�ll take it,� Wine said. �We had a couple of mental breakdowns, but those things can be corrected. Overall it was a nice building block going forward.�
The Lancers return to action this weekend when they travel to Brunswick Community College in a key Region X series.

Classic musicals stand the test of time because they have simple story lines, laugh-inducing scripts, and music that sticks with audiences long after the curtain falls. "Anything Goes" is a celebration of the great American musical and one of its greatest composers, Cole Porter. The latest production of this time-honored show, presented by StageDoor Theatre's high school company, offers a fresh take on this 80-year-old theatrical gem.
Surrounded by artists who moved to the mountains for inspiration, art lovers are treated to beautiful canvases filled with golden aspen and photographs of elk in mist-covered meadows. But when the Evergreen Artists Association's fall show opened Sept. 26, the concept of "mountain aesthetic" was redefined. The EAA's fall exhibition is the largest juried show in the recent history of the organization and displays works from 125 artists throughout Colorado.
It's definitely not traditional stained glass, and it's really not traditional public art, either.
Instead, it's a long roller-coaster-like ribbon of steel with attached bicycle wheels that are filled with stained glass. The 16-foot sculpture is the creation of Creative Stained Glass Studio, and it will be on its way to Kennesaw, Ga., to be installed in the atrium at AMLI Residential.
"Kiss Me Kate" is a musical that belongs on the must-see list of any theater lover. Cole Porter's most successful musical combines the style of the 1940s Golden Age of Broadway with the wit and tradition of Shakespeare. The Evergreen Chorale's production of this timeless classic opens Sept. 12 and is the first in a lineup of exciting performances for the 2014-15 Chorale season.
Artist Larisa Aukon spent her childhood years staring at the gray winter skies of Latvia. Fifteen years ago, when Aukon landed in Arizona, she found herself inspired by the explosion of color in the American Southwest. Today, Aukon's monotone childhood memories are a far cry from the color- and light-imbued canvases she produces. At Mirada Fine Art Gallery in Indian Hills, Aukon's first solo exhibition in Colorado, "color of LIFE," reflects on the vibrant life she has built in her adopted home.
The first day of school is just around the corner. Perhaps it's been a joyful summer of memories that will be recorded in your family scrapbook, or perhaps you've been counting the minutes until the little ones are thrown back into a daily routine. Either way, summer vacation is a bit like improvisational comedy — you spend three months with people who have no filter, and you make things up on the fly to keep them entertained. You can only hope that at the end of it all you find yourself laughing.
Evergreen is 1,400 miles from New Orleans, but from July 25-27, our mountain community will become Bourbon Street with altitude as it hosts the Evergreen Jazz Festival. Now in its 13th year, the Evergreen Jazz Festival has become nationally known for its combination of top bands and intimate venues. Attendees will enjoy more than 75 hours of live traditional jazz ranging from Dixieland to ragtime to blues, boogie-woogie and swing.

GROWERS IN the western Corn Belt may be able to buy some of the first hybrids marketed as drought-tolerant from Pioneer Hi-Bred for the 2010 crop. The hybrids called Drought I contain native corn drought-tolerance genes so they will not need regulatory approvals for commercialization or export. Pioneer reports it will launch the new hybrids after final evaluation based on field trials.
The hybrids will be marketed in dryland and limited-irrigation growing environments where yields are lower due to inadequate rainfall.
"We have identified genes that allow the corn plant to significantly improve in both areas — the plant's ability to capture more resources such as water, sunlight and nutrients and to allow for better utilization — in other words, improving the plant's effectiveness in using resources," states Jeff Schussler, Pioneer senior research manager.
Pioneer reports that Drought I hybrids should produce 5 to 10% better than current hybrids in the same drought conditions.

Jimmy McCracklin, a popular blues singer and pianist whose career spanned more than six decades and whose songs were recorded by such performers as Otis Redding, Joe Tex, Elvin Bishop and Jerry Garcia, died Dec. 20 at a nursing facility in San Pablo, Calif. He was 91.
He had diabetes and hypertension. His death was first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.
An entry in Encyclopedia of the Blues, published by the University of Arkansas Press, calls Mr. McCracklin "one of the great composers in blues history, with his depth of feeling, his sense of phrasing and his conciseness."
Mr. McCracklin had a rare ability among blues singers to adapt to changing musical tastes. While his earliest records from 1945 were sung to a lone piano accompaniment, his later records encompassed jump blues, rock-and-roll and soul music.
His most popular record, "The Walk" (1958), a jaunty dance record propelled by guitarist Lafayette Thomas's syncopated guitar hook, reached No. 7 on the Billboard pop charts.
The song garnered Mr. McCracklin an appearance on American Bandstand and charted again in 1980 in an almost note-for-note remake by the Inmates, a British band.
Through the 1960s, Mr. McCracklin had a string of self-composed rhythm-and-blues hits that bridged the gap between blues and the newer Southern soul style. The songs included "Just Got To Know" (1962), "Every Night, Every Day" (1965), "My Answer" (1966) and "Think" (1965), which was later recorded by Garcia, of Grateful Dead fame.
Mr. McCracklin also was remembered for a song that he co-wrote but didn't originally record, Lowell Fulson's "Tramp" (1967), a standard among soul performers. It was covered that same year by Redding and Carla Thomas, who did it as a duet, and by Joe Tex, who retitled it "Papa Was, Too." The song proved to have a long shelf-life: In 1987, the duo Salt-N-Pepa redid it in a hip-hop style.
The half-spoken song, at times almost a proto-rap, was a humorous expression of pride for rural African Americans, many of whom had recently relocated to the city.
In later decades, Mr. McCracklin became a mainstay of blues festivals and was regarded as something of a blues elder. The Los Angeles-based roots rock band the Blasters took their name from Mr. McCracklin's backup unit, the Blues Blasters.
James David Walker was born on Aug. 13, 1921, in Helena, Ark., and took the surname McCracklin from his stepfather. When he was 9, his family moved to St. Louis, where he met Walter Davis, a popular blues singer and pianist of the 1930s who taught the youngster the basics of blues piano.
Mr. McCracklin joined the Navy after graduating from high school. Near the end of World War II, he attempted a boxing career in Southern California but was permenently sidelined by a dislocated shoulder incurred in a car accident. He made his first records in Los Angeles in 1945 and then moved to Richmond, Calif., near Oakland, in 1947.
His wife, Beulah McCracklin, died in 2008. Survivors include a daughter; five stepchildren; and two grandchildren.
In a 2003 interview with writer Lee Hildebrand in Living Blues, Mr. McCracklin reflected on his approach as a blues writer and the lessons learned from Walter Davis.
"He [Davis] said, 'What I write, I put the truth in there because I want to tell you about what happened to me could happen to you or what happened to you could happen to me,' " Mr. McCracklin said.
"This is the way I put my lyrics together," he added. "It's real life."

I know it's not a miller, but I don't have the money for one. It's a hobart discovery vs camo auto darkening helmet. It's not the best, but I'm hoping it will do. I'm welding in a trade school class in highschool right now and so far we've mostly been doing stick welding. We will be doing mig and tig. It says its not good for tig but I can borrow someone's hood when we get to that. What do y'all think about it?
No announcement yet.

It is an ok hood I've used one briefly. I think the best bang for a buck hood is the Speedglas 100v it is about 100$ at cyberweld.com and the optics are sweet for a 100$ hood and the weight is comfortable for all day wear. I have a few hoods but my favorite is speedglas at home I have a nice 9002x but I don't like to mess 300$ hoods up at work but a 100$ hood is a different story. Just my opinion.Never Satisfied

I was thinking about a speedglas too, I just thought they were all expensive. Is the one you're talking about an auto dark? Ill defiantly look into it though, thanks
input on this helmet?
I just looked it up and at cyberweld it is $149, I would love one like that but just don't have the money for one right now
I recently picked up a welder and needed a helmet. I'm big into brand name stuff but have also learned the value of getting something to get you by while you work towards that big purchase later.
Anyway, don't laugh, but I picked up the Harbor Freight "blue flame" helmet for $40 (coupon) then promptly peeled the "flames" off. Quick switching, 9-13 shade and it's got a grind mode. I had gone to Northern and looked at their selection, and they actually had a Hobart I was looking at (the XVS orange for $119) but couldn't justify the price tag as it was made in Korea...not US...
Look at these two as well.
They both do tig, second one is quite a bit more but has some really good specs, and I liked the 4 sensors.
But like I said I went with the HF one, guys have posted on them they had them for years and they've held up...kinda like tools do you go out and buy Snap-On tools when you're a lube tech? No you buy the stuff from Sears or places like HF and when you start making more you can upgrade your stuff.
Try not to laugh, but you might want to give it a look for the $40 they sell them for.

Windows XP users left high and dry as Oracle ends Java support
- 07 July, 2014 22:37
Windows XP hold-outs pay attention. If you run the Java runtime on XP, it looks as if the current version is about as good as it gets. The next version, 7u65 and 8u11, due to ship in the middle of July, will not support or run on XP.
Oracle hasn't announced this so much as sneaked out the information on its Java support site.
"As of April 8, 2014 Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP and therefore it is no longer an officially supported platform," says the text.
Sure enough, checking the operating system list for JDK 7 and JRE 7 certified system configurations, Windows XP is now missing from a list that contains Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
According to Danish security firm Heimdal, which first noticed the issue after being tipped off by partners, XP users will be able to download and install the new version of Java but it won't load correctly. Oddly, when the firm tried to confirm this with Oracle it got no reply.
Techworld asked Oracle for a comment and was met with a similarly chilly silence. It seems that the firm has made its position as clear as it wants to and that's the end of the matter.
"Windows XP still accounts for approximately 20 percent of the PC's in use, according to global market data. Of those XP users some 82 percent also use Oracle Java according to our intelligence. . This means that millions of PC users, who still run Microsoft XP, are being left in the dark with a piece of software that is known to be very vulnerable," said Heimdal's CEO, Morten Kjaersgaard.
Java had experienced 131 CVE reports in 2013, more than in XP itself, meaning that running Java on the latest version (Java 7 update 60, 7 June) represented a huge risk going forward, he said.
"This is a huge security problem."
Given that vulnerabilities for this version will accumulate over time, XP users determined to continue using Java should disable and then de-install all versions on their computers as soon as possible.
Techworld already recommends that consumers don't use it on any version of Windows because its atrocious track record for vulnerabilities and exploits. Java has for some time been bad news for any Windows user who doesn't genuinely need it in the first place.
"Our attempts to get this verified by either Oracle in Germany or Denmark, has simply led to a "no comment", lack of answers to our emails with direct questions, or a reply that Java hasn't been supported for XP since 8th of April," Kjaersgaard told Techworld.
So now you know. No new Java.
