Multimedia in the Cultural Heritage Series
Antoinette T. Jackson's article, "Intangible Cultural Heritage and Living Communities" allows readers to hear community members, Ms. Bertha and Ms. Florence as they share memories and reflections of their community, Nicodemus, KS. Listening to their voices, the reader is able to uniquely experience the history of this community and connect it with the work of the researcher. Jackson emphasizes the role "that the living community plays in cultural heritage preservation" and with the embedded sound clip, readers gain a deeper understanding of this role. Read the full article here.
Hülya Sakarya in, "Complexity of Heritage in Post-Conflict Settings," shares with readers her fieldwork experience in Tiblisi, Georgia. Through an accompanying video, Sakarya brings readers into her fieldwork experience as she explores the complexity and ambiguity of the reopening of the Abkhazian House at the Open Air Museum of Ethnography in Tiblisi, two decades since an ethnic conflict with Abkhazian separatists in Georgia.

Over a girls' night out with Maggie last week I lamented the recent loss of a t-shirt that had significant sentimental value to me (and was super cool). A boy I once cared for deeply had sort of permanently loaned it to me and I, of course, kept it forever, until I just lost it a short time ago. I suppose it is one of the only things I had left of him, besides my memories. That whole thing was years ago, now.
Maggie just blinked at me and flatly told me to forget about it. She said I keep too much stuff. I don't need all of the stuff. It doesn't necessarily need to have the gravity I have assigned to it.
It's a shirt.
It's a shirt.
Admittedly, that smarted a bit. But she's right. As tidy as I am and as often as I clean out my closet of clothes, shoes and accessories that I don't want, or no longer fit, I have a ton of stuff. In addition to that signature t-shirt left behind from most of the boys that have meant something to me. I have a Steeler's glass that was Sam's. I've carried it with me for a decade. When it was broken last year so was I. I have cards Paz made for me from twenty years ago, a matchbook with a joke written in it from Michael Fancini from fifteen years ago, I have kept every journal I've ever written, have busted up furniture from my grandparents, and even have a hat pin, all bent and rusty, that was found in a jewelry box my dad gave to my mom long before I was born. Let's not even mention the decrepit strainer, shaped like a triangle, with rust, from my dad's house from way before my time, that sits on a chest in my dining room, never used, yet has no real, actual, sentimental value to me that I'm aware of. But I love it.
What you own eventually owns you, right?
What you own eventually owns you, right?
I've never actually shed all of my stuff before. And as a result, perhaps I find myself trapped in the past a bit. "I used to do this with that person", "I used to do that this way and this that way back in the day." You know?
We can't completely shed everything really. Actually, even if we get rid of it, we still have all of our stuff anyway, tangible or not. Everything is part of the mosaic that makes all of us who we were, are and will be.
These thoughts coupled with this time of year have harkened me back to thoughts of my family, my roots, my parents, the James River, youth, spirit, innocence, thunderstorms, cicadas, Yo! MTV Raps, Ca-Ca the Clown, The Magic Pumpkin, lighting bugs at dusk, Dinosaur Jr., my back deck; Richmond and Grove Ave. Where I became me.
Those of you that read me on the regular probably know all of this about me already. This is what I do periodically (maybe this is my new stuff).
But man alive, I also miss that food.
Where is it here, dear City of Angels? Where can I find brilliant (and unabashedly Crisco'ed) fried chicken, meatloaf, roast beef, fried catfish, chicken pot pie, chicken livers, collard greens, green beans, fried green tomatoes, pimiento cheese, deviled eggs, mashed potatoes (with mountains upon mountains of butter), corn on the cob, parker house rolls, tomato aspic, corn bread and sweet tea under the same roof? With a twist. In the right place. And wine, too, please. WHERE?
Because I want it. And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone. Sometimes tried and true, and sometimes with a twist. In the right place.
I've mentioned this previously - but I'm redundant and you all know it – the South actually created the only cuisine that is indigenous to this country. Yes, it's true. Look it up.
So last week Doug, Maggie and I had a Southern feast: fried chicken (cooked with Crisco AND butter, mind you), buttermilk biscuits, slow cooked collards, and sliced heirloom tomatoes with a dollop of Duke's Mayonnaise, sun tea and, of course, wine. For dessert we had buttermilk pie (recipe coming soon).
I want more. I'm going home in October. I want my emotional Snuggie. I want to talk to Aunt Babe. I'm going to ask her everything about everything. And I'm going to talk about her food. And I'm going to hug her.
And then I'm coming back here to you, my City of Angels. And I'm going to make you some food.
Shirt? What shirt? I've got cooking to do.
Classic Southern Fried Chicken
Serves 6
2 small chickens, broken down
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 small chickens, broken down
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons seasoned salt, such as Lawry's
1 Tablespoon fresh cracked black pepper
24 ounces Crisco
1 Tablespoon fresh cracked black pepper
24 ounces Crisco
1 stick of unsalted butter
Pat the chicken pieces dry and line a baking sheet with wax paper. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk. Add the chicken. In another bowl, whisk the flour with the seasoned salt and seasoned pepper. Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour.
Dunk chicken back in buttermilk mixture and back into flour mixture.
Transfer to the baking sheet.
In a 12-inch, cast-iron skillet, heat the Crisco and butter to 365°. Add all of the chicken and fry over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until deeply golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted nearest the bone registers 170°, 20 to 24 minutes. Drain the chicken on paper towels and serve right away.

Apple could be about to release a white iPod touch, according to reports.
Japanese website Macotakara has discovered a white headphone jack with a slanted edge, which would fit the current iPod touch design. The site claims it is for the fifth-generation iPod touch, which is expected to be revealed this autumn at a music-themed event.
The white headphone jack doesn't resemble other headphone jacks, supposedly for the next-generation iPhone, which were leaked last month. Those headphone jacks didn't have the same sloped edge but were flat, suggesting the iPhone 5 will have a similar design to the iPhone 4, at least as far as the edges are concerned.
Back in July, Apple Insider reported that Apple was planning a white iPod touch, with Concord Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claiming that these models would go into production in late August. However, Kuo expected the new iPod touch - which will come in black as well - to closely resemble the previous generation.
Other evidence that Apple could be about to produce a white iPod touch surfaced earlier this week in the form of pictures of a white LCD front panel and digitizer for the device.
Apple's efforts to create a white iPhone 4 were delayed by problems with the paint it used to cover the glass panels used on the front and back of the device. The paint apparently let too much light into the body of the iPhone, leaving pictures taken on the device's camera over-exposed.

Not bad for openers: Ellsbury takes center stage
BOSTON -- Jacoby Ellsbury slapped the third pitch of the game off the center-field wall Tuesday night, missing a home run by inches. There you go, Red Sox Nation. Remember this guy?
Let's just say he knows how to make an entrance. Thus began an evening Ellsbury surely had thought plenty about the last few months.View Full Game Coverage
BOSTON -- Jacoby Ellsbury slapped the third pitch of the game off the center-field wall Tuesday night, missing a home run by inches. There you go, Red Sox Nation. Remember this guy?
Let's just say he knows how to make an entrance. Thus began an evening Ellsbury surely had thought plenty about the last few months.View Full Game Coverage
Butterflies? Nope.
Instead, Ellsbury did what special athletes always think they can do. He took a night that could have been awkward, or even unpleasant, and made it his own personal stage.
Right there at the start, Ellsbury did it. He came close to making an even more dramatic return, but was placed at third base by umpires in the top of the first inning after a fan seemed to touch the ball.
"I missed it by a foot or two," he said. "I haven't seen the replay. I knew it was close. Yeah, it's nice. You want to do well. You want to put on a good performance."
Ellsbury was just getting warmed up. Moments later in the bottom of the first inning, he sprinted into left-center field and made a diving catch of a Grady Sizemore liner.
Got anything else for us, buddy?
Well, there was a two-run double to left-center in the top of the fifth inning as the Yankees went on to beat the Red Sox, 9-3.
Ellsbury got booed some, too, but it seemed almost half-hearted. It got a bit louder after he'd made a couple of plays, but it was nothing special.
Ellsbury simply wasn't the kind of player that would be easy for fans to dislike. He spent nine seasons in the Red Sox's organization, including seven with the big league team. He twice helped them in the World Series.
Along the way, Ellsbury was pretty much the consummate professional. He worked hard, played tremendously well at times, and after last season, accepted a seven-year, $153-million deal from the Yankees.
"If I was a young kid, to say you're going to put on two uniforms, a Boston Red Sox uniform and a New York Yankees uniform, I'd say that was pretty special," he said. "It's always something I'm proud of. I'll think of the two championships. I was very fortunate to be drafted by the Red Sox."
When the Red Sox ran a tribute to him on the Fenway Park video board after the first inning, fans gave him a warm ovation, prompting Ellsbury to wave.
"I thought it was great," he said. "I thought the fans were great. They've always treated me well here. They've always cheered me. The tribute was very classy by the Red Sox."
Actually, Ellsbury said whatever emotions he was fighting bubbled up a bit before the game.
"Seeing familiar faces, seeing the grounds crew, everybody," he said. "I saw teammates, trainers. Everybody I've seen for nine years, thanking me, congratulating me. That was the nice thing, the people."
Otherwise, there were no mixed emotions about returning to Fenway Park as a member of the Yankees.
"I was looking forward to it," Ellsbury said.
Ellsbury joked that he'd been in the tiny visitors' clubhouse at Fenway Park only one other time.
"It's a little bit different," he said. "I never knew where the visiting players walked in. I've been to the [visitors'] clubhouse one time, about eight years ago for the Rookie Development Program. They were renovating the home locker room. It looks pretty close to the same. I think they said they replaced the carpet this year."
Ellsbury was happy to see Clay Buchholz, his first roommate in the Minors, and veterans such as Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz.
"I gave the [Red Sox] organization everything I had," Ellsbury said. "[I was] drafted by them. I left everything on the field, played as hard as I could, appreciated the fans, the support they gave me over the years. They were great to me. It's nice to see the teammates, but I think when I look back, just the fans, how they treated me in my time here, I'll really remember that. And then I'll think of the World [Series] championships, the two World Series we won, my first year in the big leagues in '07 and in 2013. Those are obviously things I'll never forget. Pretty special."

Benjamin Britten
Phaidon, 1996 - Biography & Autobiography - 240 pages
Benjamin Britten (1913 -- 76) was the greatest English composer of his time, and the first of his generation to enjoy a wide international reputation. With the great success of Peter Grimes (1945) he effectively reinvented English opera and was a pioneer of music for film and radio. For much of his life, however, British critics dismissed his music as merely 'clever'. Nor was his private life free from malicious gossip, yet his sexuality and his political and social convictions directly or indirectly inspired much of his art. In this masterly biography the author creates a portrait of a great artist and discusses the contradictions of his quintessential Englishness and his world stature, his outsider status and his membership of the establishment, his artistic adventurousness and his constant regard for musical forms and traditions.

To the editor:
I read with much enjoyment Rachel's article on adopting a dog from the Brunswick County Animal Shelter. Our Decision Day was last August when my wife and I agreed to let our daughter get a dog.
Before that I had it made—a lovely family with grandchildren and a great black Lab that lived just next door to us, which I could pet, give treats and play with.

Viet Nam faces considerable challenges to effectively safeguard biodiversity in the country. The incorporation of Payment for Environmental Services (PES) in the Draft Viet Nam Biodiversity Law represents a mechanism to meet these challenges.
PES is a new concept in Viet Nam. It rewards actors that are conserving natural resources by providing payment for valuable goods and services that result from the conservation activities. These payments generate sustainable financing that can be invested in environmental conservation activities, further promoting sustainable natural resources management.
Efforts to incorporate PES into the Draft Viet Nam Biodiversity Law were pursued in a series of workshops organized by the Dong Nai River Basin Conservation Landscape Project under the Asia Regional Biodiversity Conservation Program (ARBCP). The latest workshop was held in August.
Members of the Vietnam National Assembly, Government ministry officials, academics, and non-government organization representatives attended this workshop. The outputs of the workshop include: 1) Recognition of the necessity for incorporating PES into the Viet Nam Draft Biodiversity Law; 2) Identification of PES as a suitable funding mechanism for Viet Nam; and, 3) Discussion of pertinent strategies to incorporate PES into the Draft Biodiversity Law.
The ARBCP is funded by the United State Agency for International Development (USAID) and jointly implemented by Winrock- International, The World Conservation Union (IUCN), Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) and Ministry for Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).
Viet Nam is ranked 16th among the 25 countries with the highest biodiversity levels in the world. Its environmental resources act as a buffer against natural disasters, supply clean water, and absorb carbon dioxide. Yet, Viet Nam's rapid national economic growth has negatively impacted the country's ecosystems, while funding shortages and perceived low economic returns from conservation activities discourage landholders from preserving biodiversity.

The Mike Hughes show that has been sweeping the Eastern Carolina Conference over the past three weeks continued Friday night versus South Central in a 56-7 victory.
The Mike Hughes show that has been sweeping the Eastern Carolina Conference over the past three weeks continued Friday night versus South Central in a 56-7 victory.
The junior quarterback and Division-I prospect rushed for 133 yards and four touchdowns in addition to passing for 140 and two more scores.
�I just read my reads correctly tonight and saw the openings in the defense and everything went our way,� Hughes said.
�This game was another example of us studying our craft and doing our jobs and when we do that, everything will be okay.�
Everything was better than okay.
New Bern bested the Falcons in rushing yards 241-182 and outgained them through the air 140-17.
Deauntae Grimes, who also was crowned homecoming king on the night, caught one of Hughes� touchdown passes and snagged four balls for 39 yards.
Theron Noble was on the receiving end of Hughes� other scoring pass and Cody Purdie pounded in his sixth rushing touchdown of the season.
Hughes upped his touchdown tally to 29 on the season (19 rushing and 10 passing).
The Bear defense was solid, forcing six South Central turnovers (five fumbles and one interception) and holding star running back Shawn Furlow under 100 yards rushing at 96.
The Bears pitched a shutout until midway through the fourth quarter, when Furlow found the end zone.
New Bern improves its record to 6-2 (3-0 Eastern Carolina Conference) and has reeled off six consecutive victories.
The Bears have an off week next Friday and travel to Southern Wayne for their next contest on October 25.

DH, Or no DH?
Being a traditionalist, I'm not a fan of the DH. Heck, I wasn't sure about Phillie Phanatic when he/she/it arrived on the scene in 1978. Phanatic won me over.
Still not a DH fan, however. Selfishly, it would help the Phillies if there was a DH. Thome was awesome as the DH on the just concluded trip that was a struggle. The 41-year-old is now relegated to pinch-hitting as his back isn't conducive to playing first base again. The DH would also come in handy when Chase and Ryan return.
Well, there is no DH in the NL right now, so it is a moot point. Is it time for baseball to have the same rules for the AL and NL? Your thoughts are welcomed.
Here is a flock of numbers……
**Phillies gave up 34 unearned runs a year ago. Right now, they've given up 26 already and we're not at the half-way point.
**Phillies are 12-19 at home; Rockies, 10-19 on the road.
**Phillies are 4-12 in June; Rockies, 4-11.
**Three NL division winners from a year ago are under .500: (Brewers 31-36), Phillies (31-37), Diamondbacks (33-34).
**Rockies and Cardinals have scored the most runs in the NL, 329. Rockies are second to the Cardinals in homers, 84-82.
**Rockies lead the league in runs allowed, 373 and ERA, 5.35.
**When it comes to runs scored and runs allowed, the Phillies set club records for both in 1930. Team batted .315 and scored 944 runs. Pitchers allowed 1,199 runs and a 6.70 ERA. All of that in a 156-game season. Oh brother!

DH? Noooo. Salary cap would have to be raised, poorer teams would be put further behind. But most importantly, its not baseball as it should be played.

Cleveland is in the lead when it comes to creating the commute of the future. A long Wall Street Journal story says that to woo workday commuters, "Cleveland and select cities across the U.S. are trying to replace the image of the gritty, pokey, crowded bus by sending sleeker, more spacious and train-like buses onto certain commuter routes." The hope, the paper notes, is "to attract passengers who don't have to ride the bus to work — people who can afford to own a car and pay for gas and parking, but who will willingly hop a bus." The Journal notes that attracting more of these so-called "choice riders" can help fund local transportation and reduce traffic. Much of the story looks at Cleveland's "BRT" — bus rapid transit — system. "It's not a bus, it's a rapid-transit vehicle," says Joseph Calabrese, CEO of the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority. To speed up boarding times, riders on Cleveland's HealthLine bus service "buy their tickets before they get on the bus from vending machines in glass-walled enclosures at each bus stop," The Journal notes. "That way, when the bus arrives — every five minutes on average during rush hour — riders can board through any of five doors rather than slowly filing by the driver to pay. The bus' floor matches the height of the curb, so riders needn't scale steep stairs to board." The paper says annual ridership tallies on the HealthLine "have increased by roughly 70% since the rapid-transit bus line's debut in 2008 to more than 4.4 million trips last year. In the first eight months of this year, the HealthLine had recorded more than 3 million trips." Theresa Prince, a 43-year-old environmental services worker at University Hospital, is the kind of rider RTA is happy to attract. "It's been convenient, and it comes often," she told The Journal as she rode a HealthLine bus from work one afternoon. "And parking is crazy at the hospital." In Cleveland, the cost of building the HealthLine amounted to $200 million. Transit planners estimate that installing light-rail service along the same stretch of Cleveland's Euclid Avenue corridor would cost $1 billion.

Bloomberg examines an unexpected potential benefit to Ohio's fracking boom — it might help Youngstown get the money it needs to demolish vacant buildings. City council there "is debating a proposal to combat blight by leasing the rights for oil and gas drilling under public land," according to the news service. The city "has enough money to raze only 260 homes, with more than 5,000 other structures vacant or ready for demolition," according to Youngstown Mayor Charles P. Sammarone. Opponents of hydraulic fracturing "say the money isn't worth the risk of polluting drinking water and the environment," the news service reports. But the mayor says demolition "is a priority because dilapidated homes are causing people to leave or avoid the city, and raising taxes isn't an option." (Surrounding cities and private landowners are already leasing mineral rights.) "We're not inventing anything here," Mayor Sammarone tells Bloomberg. "We need money for demo, and if we don't get it, then there's no demo." But the potential risks are not worth the short-term financial gain, says Robert Hagan, a Democratic state representative who represents Youngstown. "I understand the desperation of cities," Rep. Hagan says. "I just don't think making a deal with devil is right way to go."
A five-bedroom French-Norman house in the Forest Hill neighborhood of Cleveland Heights/East Cleveland is the object of The New York Times' affection in an installment of the paper's Property Values series. This week's column looks at what $300,000 will buy in various markets. The 2,953-square-foot Forest Hill house, listed at $295,000, seems like a steal at that price. "The two-story house was built in 1930, and many of its distinguishing features — including quarter-sawn oak floors, beamed ceilings, plaster walls, doors, hardware and ceramic tile work — are original," The Times says. "The front door opens onto a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, oak floors and dark wood-beam ceilings," according to the newspaper. "A corridor-like sunroom leads into a large carpeted family room that was probably a 1950s addition, before historic-preservation restrictions would have prevented it. The formal dining room, next to the sunroom and family room, has blue-green tile floors, another original feature." There are several pictures in the piece. The best ones are here, here and here.

Cocktail Culture
C'mon—Get Happy!
Celebrate the end of your workday with booze at rock-bottom prices.
You work hard. You like to party. You're also a tightwad. (Sorry, someone had to say it.) Have you been introduced to our friend the happy hour? You know, the amber-colored window between 2 and 10 p.m. when liquor is cheap and things to snack on are abundant? No? Well here's just the push you'll need to get started. What we've got is a random cross section of the Duke City's "velvet hours;" a few places we head to when it's time to duck out of the office for a cocktail or two. Is it complete? Hell no! Other bars with better deals do exist out there. But, at least for now, we can personally vouch for the hours you see here. If you've got some favorites of your own, don't hesitate to e-mail 'em to email@example.com. We'll be more than happy to check out your suggestions.

Much of this portfolio will be fuelled by offshore wind, putting an increasing strain on our already congested transmission grids, thus requiring a high-capacity transmission system — the Supergrid.
The Supergrid concept is based on a high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) network connecting offshore and onshore SuperNodes, which collect the renewable energy and deliver it to the high-voltage grid at the load centres.
Although HVDC is not new, it is the advent of voltage source technology based on the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) that has allowed us to conceive of an interconnected HVDC grid. Voltage source converters (VSC) allow connection of "weak" electrical networks, such as offshore wind farms. Early versions had relatively high losses (4%), but with an increasing demand, we are moving from a "technology push" from a small number of manufacturers to a "market pull" for better, more economic solutions. The supply chain is responding; the latest VSCs are so-called multi-level devices with losses of less than 1%. So, while the electricity regulators dither, offshore wind has driven the demand for innovation on the grid.
The SuperNode concept is a hybrid AC/DC device that is designed to collect and route power on the HVDC Supergrid. Although much of the technology exists today, a number of challenges need to be overcome, including the need for compact designs suited to offshore, better control systems and HVDC circuit breakers. Once again, the need for innovative, improved, cost-effective solutions is paramount.
Today's control and data monitoring systems are often proprietary and based around technology from a single supplier. In the future, open software platforms will prevail with internet protocol as the norm and plug-and-play technology for devices.
Power cable technology is more than 100 years old, and transport weight, cable tension limits and installation methodologies restrict onshore installation lengths to one kilometre. Offshore, with large ships, the length can be up to 100 kilometres.
New designs for underground transmission are required and innovations such as gas insulated lines, new electric pipelines, such as "elpipes" and, in the longer term perhaps, superconducting devices will make economic sense as power-transfer levels surpass 10,000MW over distances of several hundred kilometres. These new designs must also take installation into account — design for installation should be our mantra.
Even in Europe the number of HVDC links proposed is increasing with each year and all will one day be part of the European Supergrid. But current new connections are largely single point-to-point with no interconnection facilities. The absence of standards does not help — projects are designed bespoke with different voltages and control interfaces, making it costly to interconnect these links later. The regulators and standards bodies must take the long view, and fast-track processes for standard voltage levels and control interfaces.
As a species we are on a one-off transition to sustainability. The power system will be instrumental in delivering this and the Supergrid will be its backbone. We must create our vision, innovate to deliver and standardise critical items to future-proof our work.

STOMP Joins American Heart Association's Go Red For Women
STOMP, the international sensation and long running New York stage hit, will join with The American Heart Association's Go Red For Women this week to ask America to go RED in celebration of the 10th National Wear Red Day on February 1, 2013. Women have been fighting heart disease - the No. 1 killer of women - both individually and together as part of the Go Red For Women movement for 10 years. To date, more than 627,000 women's lives have been saved, but the fight is far from over. Women need the right information, education and care, in order to treat, prevent, and even end heart disease.
Tomorrow, Thursday, January 31, the eve of the 10th National Wear Red Day, Go Red For Women is hosting a lighting ceremony at Macy's Herald Square in New York City - the first iconic building to turn red. Macy's is a founding national sponsor of Go Red For Women and has raised $40 million to support the cause since 2004. Stomp will wear red and perform in front of Macy's along with Broadway's Judy Kaye from Nice Work If You Can Get It, Motown's Valisia LeKae, and Star Jones, the American Heart Association's national volunteer, as she invites New Yorkers to kick off National Wear Red Day.
The next day, Friday February 1, Stomp will be wearing red again at their performance on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" at approximately 8:50 AM performing one of their iconic routines.
STOMP plays New York's Orpheum Theatre, in London, and on North American and European tours. Created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, Stomp is currently playing in New York, London's West End, on North American and European tours. In addition to the stage shows, Stomp has been an overwhelming success marked by rave reviews, numerous awards, an Academy Award nomination, four Emmy nominations and one Emmy Award for their acclaimed HBO special Stomp Out Loud, noteworthy TV appearances including The London 2012 Olympic Games Closing Ceremony, The Academy Awards (produced by Quincy Jones), Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, and a series of award-winning international commercials. Critics and audiences have raved: "STOMP is a sure-fire crowd pleaser with a rock-and-roll heart," says The New York Times. "STOMP finds beautiful noise in the strangest places," says USA Today. Stomp is the winner of an Olivier Award for Best Choreography (London's Tony Award); an Obie Award; a Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatre Experience, and a Special Citation from Best Plays.
Visit www.stomponline.com for US information and www.stomp.co.uk for news on the London and European companies. The Orpheum Theatre is located at 126 Second Avenue between 7th and 8th Streets.

Earlier this season, the Knicks lost to the Heat 99-89 in Miami. This not the same Knicks team. That was a Toney Douglas led Knick team with no Melo, no JR Smith and Jeremy Lin was sitting on the bench. This Knicks team is deeper, better and more confident then the team that rolled into Miami on January 27th. The Heat are rolling right now having won 10 of 11 and 7 in a row. The Knicks have obviously been immersed in Linsanity for the past few weeks and have turned their season around. This is going to be a hell of a game.
Here's what to watch for:
- Melo vs LeBron. Carmelo Anthony always gets up to play against his friend LeBron James. Going back to High School, Anthony has always had success against James. In Anthony's senior year, he led his Oak Hill Academy team to a state championship victory over James and St Vincent/St Marys. In the NBA, Carmelo Anthony is a career 9-4 against LeBron James. Last season, in Anthony's 3rd game as a Knick, the Knicks defeated the Heat in Miami. Anthony scored 29 points to LeBron's 27. In the final seconds, James missed 2 potential game winning/tying shots and the Knicks rolled out of South Beach victorious. This season, James has played better than he ever has before. He now has a post up game and is on pace to set the record in single season Player Efficiency Rating. This will be a huge test for Carmelo Anthony but I think he is up for it. For some in depth statistics about the James-Anthony saga, click here.
- The perimeter battle. The Knicks and Heat are both good defensive teams but both teams struggle to defend the 3 point shot. The Knicks are 29th in the league in opponent 3 point percentage while the Heat are 22nd. Whichever team can shoot best from the perimeter will have the best shot to win tonight. The Knicks outside shooting has the potential to be lethal but they are still wildly inconsistent. Miami does not shoot a ton of 3's but obviously with Wade, Battier, James Jones and Mario Chalmers, they have the potential to get rolling from outside. Without Iman Shumpert, the Knicks wings will have to step up their perimeter defense and keep Miami from hitting 3's.
- Turnovers. Both teams rank in the top 10 in stealing the ball. The Knicks rank 2nd and the Heat rank 9th. Both teams also rank in top 10 in turning the ball over. Miami is damn near unstoppable in transition. The Knicks learned this the hard way in their first matchup with Miami, as the Heat turned the game into a transition dunking contest. In order to win tonight, the Knicks have to limit turning the ball over and when they do, they have to find a way to slow down James and Wade in transition.
- JR Smith is the X-factor on both ends of the court. Everybody knows that JR Smith can get hot on any given night but Smith has been great defensively since joining the Knicks. Smith recorded 5 steals last night in the Knicks rout of the Hawks. Against Dallas, Smith showed active hands and quickness defensively when guarding Dirk Nowitzki and he did a nice job against the finals MVP. For my money, a healthy Dwayne Wade is the best player in the league. Both Landry Fields and Smith will have their hands full trying to contain the Heat superstar. Fields will play a lot but I expect Smith to log more minutes coming off the bench. Smith is long enough and athletic enough to stay with Wade. Obviously defending Dwayne Wade is far more difficult than it sounds but I think Smith can do a good job of keeping up with him.
- Jeremy Lin versus the Heat pick and roll defense. I think the Heat are going to send multiple bodies at Lin on the pick and roll. Given the length and athleticism of their defense, the Heat will try to make force Lin into turnovers so they can get out in transition. I think this style of defense is a double-edged sword. If Lin is able to find passing windows and keep his head up, there should be open Knicks on the floor. Given the potential knock down shooting of Melo, Novak and JR Smith, the Heat will be gambling by sending multiple guys at Lin. Hopefully for the Knicks, Lin will make Miami pay for their gambles and find the open man.
- For Knicks pre-game analysis, check me out on this spreecast here starting at 5 eastern time and running till about 6:30
- For Knicks post-game, I will be jumping on spreecast with Brad Wolf. Here is the link to that spreecast.

AUI meta-model
Heiko: Paolo made some revisions to the AUI meta-model diagrams and added event support into the AUIUnit. I've uploaded them to:
It's a VPP 10 format. Please let us know if this causes problem for you. In any case, we've exported the images as well:
Paolo explains the changes that were made and asks for any observations.
Fabio: which part is the connection to behaviour?
Paolo: through the trigger event.
Fabio: an event trigger some action but I am not sure how this is represented?
Paolo: we are not representing the behaviours in detail, we have some broad categories and this can be subclassed as needed.
If we are more specific, we would overly constrain what kinds of models are possible. I don't think we should do that.
Fabio asks Jan for comments.
Jan: we are still considering it - questions of expressivity and representation.
The representation class seems to be an abstract class, is that right?
Paolo: no
Jan: perhaps we should be using inheritance to simplify things? This might involve multiple inheritance, e.g. from eventSupport and presentationSupport.
Paolo: yes that could be a problem. Enumeration is an alternative.
Jan: presentationSupport is too concrete, perhaps we could come up with a better name?
Jan: we need to think about this some more to consider the implications of this new structure and then to reflect the changes back in the main diagram and put it online.
Some discussion about the event hierarchy. Could this be simplified, for example by having a property indicating the type of event and other properties depending on that. Not all attributes would be applicable to all event types.
Use cases in introductory document
Gaelle: do we agree on switching to a single example throughout?
The suggestion is to use the car rental example to illustrate different aspects of model-based UI design.
Jan notes that in section 3.2, ??? should be removed
Fabio: I think we need more concrete examples.
Jan: so you prefer to have a comprehensive description of each use case in one place. Then to provide an account of how the model supports specific aspects of MBUI throughout the document.
Fabio: yes.
Jan: we would provide links to the model browser rather then embedding lots of diagrams.
Fabio: what actions are needed?
Gaelle: the Grenoble team will refine the document and then invite everyone to review, okay?
Gaelle: we just need the detailed car rental example.
Jan: The model browser (he calls it a voyager) for the car rental example can be found at http://www.fabiennemineur.be/tree
We can put other examples online very quickly. You can view the task, abstract and concrete UIs.
after some discussion, Jan says that there could be multiple AUI's per task model.
Fabio: not sure ...
Jaroslav: what about providing a context selector for different users, different devices and show how this is reflected?
Jan: excellent feedback, for now it is a hierarchy, we could add a list box for this.
Jaroslav: this would be showing the added value of the model-based approach
Fabio: to summarise: we will different use cases for each context and put them in an appendix. In addition we will link to Jan's model browser.
The appendix could get pretty long, but that's not a real problem.

An electronic procurement system being developed at the Defense Department needs to have better security features before it can be used, according to an October report from the Pentagon's inspector general.
If deployed today, the Defense Procurement Payment System (DPPS) would lack two basic safety measures, said the IG's report on information security. The existing version does not have proper access controls or an adequate contingency plan if the systems feeding it fail.
"Existing weaknesses may lead to unauthorized access by potential users that may result in undetected alteration or misuse," the report said.
DPPS aims to eliminate the Defense Department's need for numerous computer systems that process payments to vendors. The Oracle-based financial system, on which Defense has already spent more than $80 million since the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) took over the project in 1998, will use standardized, sharable data and take advantage of the most recent developments in e-commerce.
But security failures could delay the system's full deployment, now scheduled for September 2003. The report said that DPPS does not comply with the 2000 Government Information Security Reform Act (GISRA), which requires agencies to conduct regular reviews of their security and information practices.
Defense's Program Management Office found that DPPS falls short of the recommended encryption levels and the current passwords do not help protect against hackers or preserve data integrity. DFAS is also lagging behind in testing the system's continuity-of-operations plan, the report said. The continuity plan would ensure continued functioning of the system in emergencies.
To improve the system's security and bring it into compliance with the reform act, DFAS needs to develop standard procedures for obtaining access to the system and complete more tests of the continuity-of-operations plan, the report said. DFAS should also review security documents related to the Defense Corporate Database, which will provide the new payment system with data on contracts, receipts, invoices and funding authorization, the report said.
DFAS agreed with the IG's recommendations.

Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I have a question regarding Rituxan. I am having difficulty finding information on this therapy. My father has non-Hodgkins lymphoma which was diagnosed in April of 1998. C.H.O.P. chemotherapy regimen was unsuccessful. He has now developed a tumor behind the pancreas with tremendous amount of ascites (fluid in the abdomen). The doctor wants to give Rituxan instead of Interferon. Please advise.
Thank you,
John Han-Chih Chang, MD and Kenneth Blank, MD, Editorial Assistants for OncoLink, respond:
Dear CB,
Rituxan is a relatively new weapon in the arsenal against non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Over 90% of B-cell type NHL express the CD-20 antigen. This has made it an appealing target for therapy in this malignancy. It is a type of immunotherapy similar to interferon. The difference is that interferon attempts to "gear up" the overall immune system to promote tumor surveillance, and thus tumor destruction by the immune system. Rituxan is a monoclonal antibody for the CD-20 antigen to which it binds and causes an host effector response ? leading the body's immune system to destroy the "marked" cells.
The only way for this to be effective is if the cells that are being targeted have CD-20 expression. Your father's oncologist or cancer physician who is intent on treating your father with this agent should know if the NHL that your father has expresses CD-20 and is of B-cell type. It has not been demonstrated to be a cure for relapsed or chemo-unresponsive disease. It has a 40 ? 60% response rate in recent studies with a median duration of response equal to 6 ? 13 months. The toxicities from treatment have been mild and include fevers, chills, nausea, rash and urticaria. Thus, Rituxan is a very tolerable treatment, which may have some benefit. The reality is that it remains a novel treatment, which has not produced a cure at this time.
Along the same lines, a new type of therapy that utilizes antibodies has been developed by the University of Michigan. The antibody is tagged with a radioactive isotope and given to the patient. This uses the principle described above and also the fact that NHL are very sensitive to radiation therapy. This has been deemed radioimmunotherapy and presented some promising initial results.
Please discuss these issues with your father's physicians.

Graham-Mason Cemetery is located 1 1/2 miles southeast of the little hamlet of Irene in Hill County, Texas. It contains less than 30 marked graves and is the final resting place of Jennie Margaret Melton, the wife of my great granduncle Francis Lee Turner. Jennie Turner was only 23 years old when she died in 1887, leaving 3 small children behind.
Graham-Mason is a wonderful example of a restored and well-kept rural Texas cemetery. The Graham-Mason Cemetery Association is very active in both the care of the cemetery and in following the many descendents of its first "inhabitants', the William Graham family. The Association's yearly meeting occurs in the spring, usually in April, when the Texas Bluebonnets are at their finest!
The lovely photo above was taken by Judy Graham in 2003.
The oldest headstone here is that of 6-year-old Mary H Graham, who died in 1866. Her original headstone is almost unreadable and had been replaced with a beautiful granite marker.
According to the family history, slaves and former slaves are buried in the cemetery proper and also in the woods nearby. There is at least one grave marked only with rocks.
Graham-Mason is believed to be the only rural cemetery in Texas to display both a Texas Historical Marker and a Texas Historic Cemetery Medallion.

The award was presented to Mount by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Executive Director Carter Smith at the Thursday meeting of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission at TPWD Headquarters. Each year, the TPWD Law Enforcement Division selects one officer from across the state who has shown a strong degree of professionalism, has excelled above average standards, and has shown continuous dedication to the agency's mission. Mount, a nine-year game warden stationed in Tarrant County, was recognized for her commitment and service to TPWD's public outreach mission which includes presentations and events such as hunter education classes, school programs, inner city youth presentations, and women in the outdoors events. She is also the regional point of contact for the public for questions regarding nongame and invasive species in the Fort Worth and Dallas areas.

The cause has yet to be determined, but poisoning has not been ruled out. At this time, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department simply desires to provide hunters information on this localized event. Dove samples have been submitted to the U.S. Geological Survey's National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, WI, where initial necropsy findings revealed no conclusive cause of death, according to Dr. LeAnn White, a wildlife disease specialist. Additional disease screening and toxicology test results are pending. Although there are no known human or animal risks associated with the mortality events at this time, Dr. White recommends precautions should be taken. One Midland resident reported his dog died shortly after consuming several dead doves, but no autopsy was performed and cause of death was not determined. Conversely, several residents have reported dogs and cats consuming dead doves with no ill effects. Reports of dead doves and sparrows first surfaced in late July and have been sporadic but ongoing, although the total number of birds impacted so far is believed to be less than 250, mostly Eurasian collared dove and white-winged dove. "Our biggest concern right now is the timing of these events heading into the opening day of dove hunting season this Saturday," said Clayton Wolf, TPWD Wildlife Division Director. "We want hunters to be aware of this, but until we know the cause of death, there's not much we can tell those hunters other than to use the standard common sense precautions that should be applied to the harvest of all game animals." Hunters should avoid shooting at birds exhibiting odd behavior or picking up birds not shot by them or someone in their hunting group. Hunters should never consume any game that appears infected or diseased. All dove killed still count toward a hunter's bag limit. However, dove that appear infected or diseased are not required to be retained or kept in edible condition. Birds exhibiting a healthy disposition prior to harvest should not pose a concern. As with all wild game, hunters should properly clean and prepare dove. Officials anticipate additional test results in the next few days. Updates on the investigation, including lab test results, will be posted online at http://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/game_management/dove_summary/. -30- [ Note: This item is more than six years old.
