H. T. Burleigh
Henry "Harry" Thacker Burleigh was an African American classical composer, arranger, and professional singer. He was the first black composer to be instrumental in the development of a home-grown American form of music termed "Negro Spirituals" (music, legend holds, he originally heard sung by his blind grandfather as a young boy) and, as a music editor for Franco Colombo Music in New York City, he helped to make this music available to classically-trained artists both by introducing them to the music and by arranging the music in a more classical form. Ultimately, Dr. Burleigh became a founding member of ASCAP and his music was instrumental in launching the careers of legendary talents like Marian Anderson and Paul Robeson. You will find the sheet music for Dr. Burleigh's American Negro Spirituals here!

Muffin Tin Monday - planes, trains, & automobiles
It's Muffin Tin Monday again and this time we went with a "things that go" theme! It was an easy choice since I've been dying to play with the new VrrrM transportation set Lunch Punches some more!
Top row: clementine orange slices with an airplane shaped fruit leather, Trader Joe's "pirate booty", a hard boiled egg (decorated with food safe markers and olives for tires!).
Bottom row: blueberry cargo, a train shaped sandwich (fruit leather wheels and cheese panels (wasn't real sure how to accent the train!)), strawberries.
Details... Let's see. The airplane fruit leather was cut out using the center section of the airplane Lunch Punch (same one I used for last week's Muffin Tin Monday!). I put the pirate booty in that specific muffin cup spot because it reminded me of smoke coming out of the stack on the train :). The car shaped (honk! honk!) hard boiled egg was made using an egg mold, of course. If you'd like more details on how that's done, I have a tutorial on it you can check out here.
As I said about the Lunch Punches before, this Vrrrm set of transportation shapes isn't available just yet, but will be sooooon! You can preorder a set now and they'll ship mid-August, in time for back-to-school! :)
I just love putting together themes. :)
Want to see what other muffin tin mamas were cooking up this week? You can check them out over at the home of Muffin Tin Monday.
*** A couple more days remain on my bento goodie giveaway! Please keep the votes coming for the Kallas family. :) More votes you cast = more chances for you to win!

Draft buzz: Johnny Manziel to No. 3 Jacksonville; Blake Bortles to No. 4 Cleveland
One NFL source close to the draftable quarterback situation said the buzz is Johnny Manziel going to Jacksonville with the Jaguars' No. 3 overall pick.
And the Cleveland Browns taking Blake Bortles at No. 4.
This scenario makes sense. The Jaguars are paying $4.5 million to veteran Chad Henne but that's high-end backup quarterback money. I can see Jaguars coach Gus Bradley, who was Pete Carroll's former defensive coordinator in Seattle, building a Russell Wilson-like offense around Manziel. The Jags even have Toby Gerhart to play a poor man's Marshawn Lynch.
And if there's another franchise out there that could benefit from a jolt of Johnny Football more than Jacksonville, let me know.

About stevestephen
I would encourage you to read up specifically on film industry usage and current practice. As an example, the Chrysler building considers all ornamentation as protected. Most anything beyond a vague skyline silhouette will be fair game for protection or attempt at compensation.
Certain physical buildings or places are protected under trademark and/or copyright law. Over 150 buildings are registered trademarks. A building in public view is generally not protected; however, the artwork upon the building may be. For example, footage of a skyline may not require a license, but footage of an individual building, especially if it is unique or has art or ornate architectural designs applied to it, may require a separate license. If you want to use an image of a building or place that is not as it normally appears, or is not ordinarily visible from a public place, it may be protected under trademark and copyright law. When you review motion content, you need to analyze it to determine whether any item depicted in the motion content will require trademark clearance from the trademark owners. For example: Are there items depicted in a piece of motion content that contain a trademark or trade dress? Is a building with artwork depicted in the motion content? Is a building depicted whose owners use it as a registered or unregistered trademark? Does the motion content have a mark or trade dress that is confusingly similar to another owners mark? If so, you may need a license in addition to our license from the trademark owner, his or her estate or agency.
That would be "New "York's"
As of the late 90's most all owners of New Your's landmark buildings registered them as trademarks and/or copywritten works. Filmmakers have to pay to depict any skyline image of New York where the Chrysler Building, World Trade Buildings, Empire State Building, etc, are depicted.
Somehow the Statue of Liberty has fallen under public domain (I'm not an expert). Just like many American master's paintings once they become icons and representation of popular culture.
Also, look how we have taken bodies, art, and cultural treasures from non-white-American burial sites, and sold rights to the imagery for text books and publication. Yes, our government has done, and continues to do that.
Sounds outrageous when some other country does it.
Every country can claim the rights to the dinosaur species from their lands and territories!!! Any and all profits from Jurassic Park movies will now go to paying rights to species use and representation.
If a reasonable person would recognize them as based on the original work - yes.
in the same vein: there is nothing I despise more than truck manufacturers stamping their name into the tailgate and forcing me to advertise for them. I am owed royalties too!!!
I just want to make sure the artist/writer makes enough profit to cover the months or years devoted. Buying is my way of encouraging them to write more material I like.
Do we know that authors make the same amount either way? The publishing industry is just experimenting with the market to see what we will pay and find what model is most profitable.
Personally, last thing I want to do after 10 on a computer at work is read a digital book.
Let's not forget to thank Microsoft, and all the other companies (even Adobe) who have created programs sold on the promise that "you too" can build a web site and call yourself a professional designer!
I agree with Liam.
That being said - I have personally found that it is not financially viable for all agencies have a web design team on staff and people like me get hired to build for them. And yes, there can be a drastic difference between the submitted design that may match a print campaign and what can actually be done. Many times, before I get the job, the client has already been promised the site will "look like this" based on a sketch from a print campaign with web as an unrepresented after-thought.
Everyone walks a fine line between giving the client what they want and what works in all browsers, loads fast, is easy to navigate, etc.
I have found very few non-professionals who have anything but a basic idea of browser compatibility, SEO, navigation, usability, etc. it really does take full-time attention to keep up. A professional(s) will have to be involved in the crowdsource redesign or the construction of the design. There are many factors to consider in a highly visible public site build. If not...let's start a count-down to the first lawsuit over accessibility.
I forgot to add: You NEVER got money from record sales!
The only reason for hiding facts and figures (that have been available for years) it to hide theft and skimming.
With the exception of the most popular legends who can demand upfront payment for going on tour...the record companies own artists and contractually demand they go on tour. The freebie they usually offer is revenue from those expensive T-shirts and goods sold, after they pay licensing to the record company.
Unfortunately, there are so few big venues that take non contracted artists (they were part of the game before the big sports venues got built) your only hope to get famous and obtain future financial security was to play the game - it's about time that the game changed.
It is a form of prostitution: Keep them on a schedule that doesn't give time to think or reason or know night from day; Provide drugs and alcohol to confuse them even more. Sounds like pimp tactics doesn't it. Maybe times have changed. I had to get out years ago.

Union-Backed 'Protect Our Jobs' Ballot Initiative Would Wipe Out Reforms Unions Already Supported
Constitutional amendment would reinstate 'last in, first out,' eliminate tenure reforms
At a time when the National Education Association is calling for teachers to take more responsibility for improving their profession, the "Protect Our Jobs" ballot proposal would wipe out teacher reform laws, some of which were supported by former Gov. Jennifer Granholm and the Michigan Education Association.
For example, for years school districts determined which teachers would be laid off by seniority alone. The Ann Arbor Public Schools went so far as to use the randomness of Social Security numbers as a tie breaker if teachers had the same qualifications.
Teacher reform laws forced school districts to use a teacher's effectiveness when determining which teachers stay and which ones are let go.
Yet, if the "Protect Our Jobs" initiative is passed, union contracts would have higher authority than state laws. Some contracts are filled with cumbersome provisions that make it difficult to get rid of bad teachers.
One school district, for example, had a contract that required a 13-step process to remove ineffective tenured teachers. Even then-MEA President Iris Salters acknowledged changes needed to be made.
"No one wants or can afford ineffective teachers. That's why the MEA's plan calls for streamlining the process for fair dismissal of ineffective tenured teachers, making it less costly and less time-consuming," Salters said in January 2011.
Patrick Wright, senior legal counsel for the Mackinac Center, said teacher reform laws would be made irrelevant.
"Union contracts would take precedence over the laws," Wright said.
Earlier this month, NEA President Dennis Van Roekel said, "It's not enough to say that most teachers are good. If there is even one classroom with a teacher who isn't prepared or qualified, we can't accept that."
The MEA released a statement in 2011 saying it supported some of the GOP's attempts at education reform.
Some of the teacher reform was completed under Democrat Gov. Granholm, who passed laws that, for example, required teachers to have an annual performance review and created categories for which teachers were rated. Under most union contracts, the teacher reviews were once every three years and if they were not completed, the default was a "satisfactory evaluation."
Dan Lijana, spokesman for "Protect Our Jobs" ballot initiative, and Doug Pratt of the MEA didn't return emails seeking comment.

Day 3 T-Shirt of Choice: FFB Eleprint by Fur Face Boy
On this day, we visited the happiest place on Earth: Disneyland. I haven't been to the land of Mickey since I was about 8-9 years old, I can't exactly remember how old I was. This was Michelle's first time, so I was pretty excited for her. We had planned to start the day super early, 6 am early, so that we could have enough time to drive to Anaheim and arrive at Disneyland before opening (9 am). That didn't happen. We woke up at around 9 am, and left our hotel at around 11:00 am. It turned out to be the perfect time to leave.
I'm sure that many of you have been to Disneyland already, so I won't bore you with every little thing that we did there. However, I would like to point out a few observations.
1. Parking is super efficient. Seriously, why can't the parking at my University be as efficient as Disneyland's?
2. The Monte Cristo Sandwich at The Blue Bayou (New Orleans Square) is heavenly. It's cheesy, meaty, sweet, and savory. TIP: One sandwich is big enough to split between two people. If you do choose to split, you can pay an extra $12 so that they plate it for two people and they'll also add sides for each person.
3. Peter Pan's Flight is way too short.
4. Someone randomly gave us fast passes to Space Mountain, so of course, we took advantage of those tickets. Man, I'm not a roller coaster guy because I nearly hurled on this ride! I'm not too sure how I didn't end up with a seizure on this ride. The lights were cool though!
5. The 9 pm Fantasma show was a bit meh.
6. The Fireworks show that followed Fantasma was very whoa – it was impressive. TIP: It's best seen on Mainstreet facing Snow White's castle.
7. The beignets in New Orleans Square are good (but not as good as the beignet's you'll find in New Orleans), especially when paired with hot cocoa.
8. I finally got to ride the Submarine Voyage (since renamed Finding Nemo's Submarine Voyage) after a 20 year wait! I remember as a kid wanting to go on this ride but no one wanted to go with me. Finally!
9. Favorite Ride? Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Mind. Seeing the big rolling of rock at the end was the icing on the cake.
We ended up leaving Disneyland at … gasp … closing! Neither of us thought that we'd stay until 11 pm. But time really does fly when you're at Disneyland! The drive back to Los Angeles went by pretty quickly, and at the end of the hour long drive back, we awarded ourselves with a Los Angeles staple: Pink's Hot Dogs.
By the time we arrived at Pink's, we were both quite hungry. How hungry? Well to put things into perspective, I ordered a Mulhulland Drive (10 inch hot dog smothered with cheese, bacon and grilled onions), a signature chili dog, and an order of chili cheese fries on the side. The hot dogs were good, but I am not so sure that they were worth the wait in the cold. The next time that I am in LA and have to choose between Pink's and Wurstküche, I'd probably pay a visit back to Wurstküche.

Ask Dr. Julianne
Aloha Dear Ones,
It's very early in the morning on Maui. The need for rest and reflection has been foremost since Christmas Eve.
I've been a Unity Church chaplain for almost 10 years. About a week before Unity's Christmas Eve service, I was asked to give the opening prayer. I immediately said yes, then the scope of the responsibility set in. I wondered if I could show up the way that was needed, if I could be available to that deep edge of my being that allows the Holy Spirit/evolutionary impulse to come forth. I didn't want my own personality conditioning, or my human mind, to write and deliver a prayer that would just sound good–I wanted a truer voice to speak.
Unity Church on Maui (unityonmaui.org) started having the chaplains give opening prayers for Sunday services about six months ago. We tend to follow a format for affirmative prayer used by many, "new thought," groups, such as Religious Science. This form of affirmative prayer, sometimes called, "five-step prayer," focuses on acknowledging divine presence, aligning with this holy presence, affirming one's intention, giving thanks and releasing the prayer to divine outcome.
For the past few months, my prayers have increasingly included evolutionary language and concepts. I find myself saying things like, "Beloved Presence, we know that there is not only this now moment–there is also this now moment, becoming–we lean forward, together, into the edge of that becoming, into the space between us, for in the space between us, there is an awareness emerging of our essential unity, of a deeper, higher love that is our true nature, a sacred reality that is so much more powerful than any challenge we might face on our own, that is becoming stronger each day."
I pray with my eyes open, looking into the eyes of people around the room. When my prayers at Unity became more evolutionary, some people whose heads were bowed began to look up at me, with an expression both surprised and curious. As I continued to pray, I saw people's faces soften, open, then seem to brighten, with a quality of hope. I especially noticed that when words of, "leaning together into the space between us, where we are more available to consciousness emerging, where there is a love and wisdom awakening between us that is so much stronger than any trial we face alone," that some people sat straighter, some began gently crying, all appearing to release isolation, to embrace connection.
Together, with my brothers and sisters, I felt the sweet comfort of being one heart , and with that experience of unity, a deeper motivation to do the right thing–for God, for myself, for these people who are part of me, and who, with me, are all part of God.
Each time this happened, I was left with a feeling of amazement. I would come with a frame for the occasion on any given Sunday, but never write a prayer, always allowing it to unfold in the moment. I grew to trust that a greater presence would show up, in this new, exciting way, and felt a precious alignment with our small congregation.
On Christmas Eve, attendance is always much larger. Unity moves its service to the Iao Theater in Wailuku town, which seats about 500. A wide range of people come, mainland visitors from traditional churches, new age Mauians on a variety of paths, and locals. I felt some trepidation about giving the opening prayer with this bigger group, with such different beliefs and expectations. The concern was about my egoic conditioning. Could my personality self get out of the way enough to express as the evolutionary impulse? Or would the false self feel compelled to put on a show on this bigger stage?
My ego wasn't my only concern. There was a call on my heart to truly honor Jesus as the birth of God's love in form, as God's love made manifest for humanity.
Unity was founded by a passionately Christian couple, Charles and Myrtle Fillmore. Their intention was to explore Christ consciousness under a big umbrella, accepting that all paths lead to God, welcoming people of all faiths to come together to study and celebrate a greater truth of being and living. My experience in Unity was that while every effort was made to acknowledge the beauty of all paths, there was at times a reluctance to speak of its Christian roots. There was a sensitivity to the number of, "recovering fundamentalists," in the Unity movement, those who had been wounded in conservative Christian churches where they experienced condemnation, and who could be offended by the mere mention of Jesus' name.
I get this–and, there is an expanding awareness that allows us to heal, to hear with the ear of the heart. My former Unity minister, Rev. Mary Omwake, told me about a conversation she had with Rev. Michael Beckwith, of Apage, in Los Angeles. He said, "Maybe we are healed enough now to start talking about Jesus again." Amen.
So, how do I honor Jesus on the night we celebrate his birthday, on a Unity platform, being available as the evolutionary impulse, without my ego staging the gig? What would you do?
This post is becoming so very long–I need a little food and a walk along Ma'alaea Bay. Can I tell you tomorrow what happened? Thank you, Beloved.
Love and blessings,
Dr. Julianne

field upon which some ofthe most striking events of ihis warfare took place the retreat of green and morgan from south carolina into virginia passing through north carolina hotly pursued by cornwal

fanning was raised or from whence he came ; bul believe he must have been a citizen of this county for soma time before he became a tory colonel bom the fact that he married a miss kerr in ! ibe b l

became their prisoner when taken to fanning he was sentenced to be immediately hung the rope was tied round his neck and a barrel provided for him to stand upon until the other end was tied to a limb of a tree don gan told me himself that he felt every thing that a man could feel except the pangs of death or he had no idea that fanning could be prevail ed on to revoke his sentence fanning's men who did not approve of ihis cheap and short method of disposing of prisoners called him a side and remonstrated with him on the cruelty ol treating prisoners in this inhuman manner and in setting the whigs so dangerous an ex ample which they would undoubtedly follow and string up every tory that fell into their hands those arguments had their effect and saved lhe life ofa worthy and intelligent whig who was much esteemed by every vvhig and dreaded by every tory who knew him on one occasion fanning and his troop call ed at a smithshop to get their horse shoes repair ed where he met with a

cytoplasmic and nuclear extraction - (May/09/2010 )
Hi all,
I have searched the archives of this forum and yet I will throw this question again just because I am still confused of the final conclusion of the answer to the question.
I am trying to separate the nuclear and cytoplasmic protein from my cultured cell lines (two of them), and am using the NE-PER kit. I followed the protocol to separate them and then ran western on them and confirmed by a dot blot that there are more expression of my transcription factor that is supposedly in the cytoplasm in rested cells. At the same time, there are more actin in nuclear fraction than in cytoplasm. I am concerned because a colleague of mine used this method on this exact same cell line and told me that I am supposed to get no actin in my nuclear fraction if I separate them well. So the possibility is that I did not get well enough of a fractionation. Even then, I am confused of the use of actin as 'fraction control'. Some people in this forum have claimed that actin is not ideal to be used as a mean to see if I get clean separation, and other protein such as histone, lamin or nucleolin, p53 might be better for nucleus, and tubulin for cytoplasm. I then called the NE-PER guyz and they confirmed that actin may not be a good marker, since they are also found in nucleus. I then wonder of why my colleague would see no actin in the nuclear fraction, and whether this means that actin can be used as fraction control?
Then another question is, is there another way to ensure that the nuclear or cytplasm is properly fractionated other than using western with those markers?
Actin is found in the cytoskeleton of the cell, it is a component of both the nuclear membrane and the cytoplasm, therefore it can not be used as a control for fractionation. I don't know of any way of determining whether you have good fractionation other than running westerns for nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins. I guess you could look for the presence of DNA in the nuclear fraction, but most DNA detection methods will also pick up RNA which will be found in both nucleus and cytoplasm.
We use Histone and Tubulin as controls for our fractionations.
nuclelolin shuttles proteins from cytoplasm to nucleus and can also be found on plasma membrane. it is not a good marker for nuclear extraction. i've had better luck with histone.

As 2012 begins, I would like to review some of the highlights of the Alzheimer's Disease world this past year, and the new directions that we will likely be heading toward in 2012.
- This year we saw the publication of new diagnostic guidelines for Alzheimer' s disease formulated by committees sponsored by the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association. The National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association also published guidelines for diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease and for preclinical Alzheimer's disease. These guidelines will be important tools for clinicians to diagnose Alzheimer's in its earliest stages, and represent the first revision in 25 years.
- An FDA advisory committee gave preliminary approval of the PET amyloid imaging ligand AV-45, citing work to be done to ensure consistency in reading PET scans. Full approval is expected sometime in 2012, if a uniform training program is implemented for radiologists interpreting the scans.
- The European Medicines Agency announced the likely approval of hippocampal atrophy as a marker of early Alzheimer's disease for the purpose of clinical trials. Much work has gone into linking hippocampal atrophy visualized by MRI as an early and specific biomarker of neurodegeneration seen in Alzheimer's disease.
- IGAP—the International Genomics of Alzheimer's Project, a transatlantic collaboration to create the most detailed map of genetic variants that link to Alzheimer's disease was also launched in 2011. Meta analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) revealed four new genetic risk variants for Alzheimer's disease.
- In terms of clinical trials, Gantenerumab, an antibody against beta-amyloid, was shown to clear plaques when given intravenously, according to results from a Phase 1 trial. The drug seems to be one of the most potent developed thus far in reducing plaques. A Phase 2 gene therapy trial for Parkinson's disease was deemed a success. A similar Phase II gene therapy trial for Alzheimer's disease, called the Nerve Growth Factor Study, is currently ongoing and recruiting. Multiple clinical trials, including the ADCS Phase III Resveratrol and Roche Phase II Gantenerumab trial are launching in 2012.
- A very important paper by the Holtzman group at Washington University further established the relationship between ApoE4 genotype and decreased clearance of beta-amyloid from brain, both in humans and animal models. The idea that ApoE4 is less effective in removing beta-amyloid from the brain is not necessarily novel, per se, and had been previously shown. However, it had never been proven so convincingly and in such a complete manner in humans and animal models of Alzheimer's disease. Together, the data suggest that ApoE variants contribute to a person's risk for Alzheimer's by affecting the clearance of beta-amyloid from the brain long before amyloid plaque deposition begins. Later in the year, the same group reported that, in mice, lowering the levels of ApoE4 results in fewer amyloid plaques. The results imply that ApoE-lowering treatments have a place among proposed Alzheimer's therapies, including immunotherapy, gene therapy, and beta- and gamma- secretase inhibitors.
- Results published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that women with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB)— pauses in breathing or reduced ventilation quality during sleep — are more likely to develop cognitive impairment five years later. The biology behind this finding may include hypoxia, or decreased oxygen delivery to certain parts of the brain, including the hippocampus which is critical in memory function. In addition, sleep fragmentation, which can interfere with memory consolidation, which occurs during certain stages of sleep, may also lead to cognitive problems. This study has really brought much needed attention to the evaluation of sleep as part of the work-up in individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment.
We anticipate further progress in understanding the progression of the earliest stages of Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's disease with the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI2), The Dominantly Inherited Alzheimers Network (DIAN) study and the Alzheimer's Prevention Initiative (API) during 2012.

I freaking love Laura Mercier primer and loose powder, hence I
broke my no buy rule felt that the Tinted Moisturiser was necessary, since it would:
1. Complete my Laura Mercier Base collection (primer, powder)
2. Be great for this hot weather which will last about, oooh a week
3. Its a moisturiser so I count it as skincare so THERE
So I plonked down £32 (sob) for the oil free version of the Tinted Moisturiser cos everyone goes on and on about it.
Funny story when I bought this from Harvey Nichols – the girl on Chanel was clearly extremely bored and was DETERMINED to serve me even though I wanted to talk to the lady from Laura Mercier.
Eventually cottoning on to my distress, the lady from LM comes over and goes "Yes THANKYOU < chanel girls name >" and off the scooted.
Anyway she said I looked oily (I was just sweaty) and recommended oil free in SAND which looked quite orange to me.
Urgh! I'd rather look like a bloodless corpse than an oompa loompa so I was a little unsure.
I have been looking darker than normal recently though, so what the hell I thought.
They say:
# Hydrating, oil-free formula softens skin offering a healthy glow
# Helps to prevent excess oil from setting on the surface of the skin
# Controls oil breakthrough while providing hydration to prevent dryness
# Buildable coverage for those hard-to-cover places
# Offers further protection from UVB rays and harmful effects of the environment with an SPF 20
# Ideal for troubled skin
Sand is too dark. I know this because I quite clearly had a tide mark on my face when I wore is the next day. (I am usually a NC35 – 40 in MAC):
Its also quite a red/orange base, I imagine it would work well for Indian type skintones but not for me, I am more yellow based.
So the colour is wrong but what about the texture?
It was so dry it was hard to apply – I felt like I was dragging it across my face the hole time so I had to resort to patting it.
It felt nice and comfortable to wear for half the day, then towards the end of the day, my face looked sort of lumpy and oily. Yak.
On my face – admittedly I prefer a higher coverage and this is only a tinted moisturiser but I'd say even Bobbi Brown's Tinted Moisturiser does a much better job:
Horror of horrors the next day, three large spots had arrived on my forehead on a cluster and many around my chin.
I certainly get spots sometimes but they are small and easy to deal with – I don't get fat zits in a cluster – its just not my skin. So it has to be an allergic reaction and there was only one new thing….this tinted moisturiser.
Hello?! Have you read the review? What a waste of £32 I could've spent on something else vital, like a bread maker or a waffle toaster.
They don't take returns easily over in the UK so I am stuck with this. Sob sob sob.
Used this? Had a different experience? Tell me in the comments!

MIT Press
MIT LIST : Download
Info on publisher by their website:
The MIT Press is the only university press in the United States whose list is based in science and technology. This does not mean that science and engineering are all we publish, but it does mean that we are committed to the edges and frontiers of the world—to exploring new fields and new modes of inquiry. (For a time we described our publishing program as chasing "The Moving Frontier," but we've moved beyond even that.) We publish about 200 new books a year and over 30 journals. We are a major publishing presence in fields as diverse as architecture, social theory, economics, cognitive science, and computational science, and we have a long-term commitment to both design excellence and the efficient and creative use of new technologies. Our goal is to create books and journals that are challenging, creative, attractive, and yet affordable to individual readers.
Our history starts in 1926 when the physicist Max Born visited the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to deliver a set of lectures on Problems of Atomic Dynamics. The Institute published the lectures under its own imprint, and that book is numbered 1 in the archives of The MIT Press. In 1932, James R. Killian, Jr.—editor of the Institute's alumni magazine and future scientific adviser to President Kennedy and tenth president of MIT—engineered the creation of an Institute-sponsored imprint called Technology Press, which published eight titles over the next five years. In 1937, John Wiley & Sons took on editorial and marketing functions for the young imprint, which during the next 25 years published 125 titles. In 1962, MIT amicably severed the Wiley connection and upgraded its imprint to an independent publishing house, naming it The MIT Press. One of the independent Press's first new employees was graphic innovator Muriel Cooper, who designed our distinctive logo and set the course for the design innovations that have been a hallmark of the Press's work to the present day. A Journals division was added in 1968, and a European marketing office was opened in 1969. (Today we sell a higher proportion of our products outside the United States than any other U.S. university press.)
The creative burst and explosive growth of the 1960s slackened with the library cutbacks of the early 1970s, and by the end of that decade the Press knew that it had to rethink what it was doing. We developed a strategy of focusing the list on a few key areas and publishing in depth in those areas. The initial core consisted of architecture, computer science and artificial intelligence, economics, and the emerging interdiscipline of cognitive science. The plan worked wonderfully, and by the mid-1980s the Press was again thriving. As the list developed, occasional offshoots sprouted (neuroscience, for example, was spun off from cognitive science in 1987), while a few smaller areas in which we continued to publish—technology studies, aesthetic theory, design, and social theory—have remained viable and interesting components of what has become a unique mix. Our latest addition was an environmental science list, started in the early 1990s.
Today the Press continues to thrive. In fact, our archive received book 9000 in January 2010.
The Press's enthusiasm for innovation is reflected in our continuing exploration of the electronic frontier. Since the late 1960s, we have experimented with generation after generation of electronic publishing tools. From those messy paper-tape systems through IBM Composers to our present-day use of direct-to-press production technologies, our intensive use of the Internet, and our commitment to new electronic products—whether digital journals or entirely new forms of communication—we have continued to look for the most efficient and effective means to serve our readership. These readers have come to expect excellence from our products, and they can count on us to maintain a commitment to producing rigorous and innovative information products in whatever forms the future of publishing may bring.

Maud Lavin - Push comes to shove : new images of aggressive women
In the past, more often than not, aggressive women have been rebuked, told to keep a lid on, turn the other cheek, get over it. Repression more than aggression was seen as woman's domain. But recently there's been a noticeable cultural shift. With growing frequency, women's aggression is now celebrated in contemporary culture—in movies and TV, online ventures, and art. In Push Comes to Shove, Maud Lavin examines these new images of aggressive women and how they affect women's lives.

Boston: There's an App for That
"Civic hacking" and the transformation of local government.
Boston's City Hall is a 500,000-square-foot concrete monstrosity. Built in 1968, the structure is a prominent example of Brutalist architecture, and it screams, "large, impersonal institution." For decades, Bostonians have despised it. Now comes the Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics, a scrappy five-person team charged with making Boston better through clever, low-cost hacks. They're talking makeover. Not the gazillions-of-dollars, knock-the-building-down kind. Something a lot cheaper. But still: a makeover. Finally.
Inside City Hall, right on the fifth floor near the mayor's office itself, New Urban Mechanic Kris Carter, 33, gives me a tour of the proposals, which were marked up and arrayed along a wall. One of them, "Stairs of Fabulousness," would cost less than $5,000 and cover the steps of the building's concrete grand staircase in bright rainbow colors. I asked Carter if it would play xylophone notes when you stepped on it, as a staircase at the city's Museum of Science does. Nope. It wouldn't capture data about foot traffic either. But still, it would be fun, and cheap, and so the mechanics were giving it serious thought.
Story Continued Below
"Local government over the last few years has gotten used to the idea that the kinds of services we deliver are gray," says Nigel Jacob, 39, who along with Chris Osgood, 37, has led MONUM, as the office is known, since its 2010 inception. It's MONUM's job to make those services more vibrant. Some innovations aren't necessarily major breakthroughs in good government, like the whimsical project, undertaken in October, of lighting up a bridge in pretty, multicolored lights. But many others are practical revolutions in how local government can connect with its residents using technology, like the famous Boston pothole app, and another one to handle all manner of basic government service requests right on your iPhone.
As "innovation" becomes all the rage in city government, New Urban Mechanics has created a unique brand of it. Bearing the imprint of its first patron, former Mayor Tom Menino, the office has relentlessly focused on delivering services to residents—an approach that's as much cultural as it is technological. It's "the first smart city leadership group that feels like it was designed by a political scientist instead of a computer engineer," says Anthony Townsend, author of Smart Cities: Big Data, Civic Hackers, and Quest for a New Utopia. The model has produced nifty apps, made Boston a national leader in the field and survived this year's transition to a new mayor, Marty Walsh. Now, MONUM is digging in for its oh-so-modest long-term goal: reinventing civic engagement for the 21st century.
How Boston fixes a pothole
This video installment of POLITICO Magazine What Works shows how citizen engagement through new technology is literally fixing the city of Boston, one pothole at a time. Filmed by Mark Peterson. Edited by Madeline Marshall.
If all politics is local, most government innovation is urban. And Boston has been a leader in urban innovation since at least 1721. In late April of that year, a British ship, the Seahorse, arrived from Barbados, and by early May, 10 members of its crew had come down with smallpox. It was the first smallpox epidemic in New England in 19 years, and within a few days, 1,000 of Boston's 11,000 inhabitants had fled. The official response in the Puritan stronghold was prayer.
Fortunately, 18th-century West Africans took a more pragmatic approach to smallpox than their New England contemporaries. Onesimus, a slave belonging to Cotton Mather, informed the prominent minister that he had intentionally contracted a mild smallpox infection in Africa and acquired lifelong immunity—an inoculation procedure. Impressed, Mather recruited Zebdiel Boylston, a local physician and future great uncle of John Adams, to leverage Onesimus' expertise. Boylston prototyped the process—which required rubbing smallpox pus into a small wound—by trying it on his two young sons and a slave. It worked, and he and Mather undertook a full-on pilot program, inoculating 287 Bostonians. (The data-driven approach was quite an about-face for Mather, who had been deeply implicated in the Salem witch trials of the 1690s.)
Mather and Boylston were greeted with scorn. Most of Boston considered their innovation bad medicine and an affront to God. James Franklin attacked the pair with so much vitriol that local authorities briefly imprisoned him, leaving his brother and apprentice Benjamin in charge of his printing shop. Someone threw a bomb through Mather's window with a semi-literate note attached, reading, "Cotton Mather, you dog, dam you! I'l inoculate you with this; with a pox to you." (The bomb failed to go off.) But it worked, and the pair meticulously gathered data to prove it: The mortality rate for inoculated Bostonians was 2 percent, compared with 15 percent who contracted the disease naturally. The innovation gained acceptance and spread. The British royal family even decided to undergo inoculation, in part based on the results of the Boston pilot. You might call it the first recorded instance of data-based civic hacking, a practice that wouldn't even have a name for another three centuries.
The city was once again at the forefront of urban innovation in 1799, when it created the first health department, under Paul Revere, which then carried out the first controlled experiment of a vaccine, also for smallpox. In the 19th century, as major American cities swelled, they fell into the grip of urban political machines, whose governments were marked by inefficiency, cronyism and corruption. Again, Boston was a leader in improving urban governance. In 1865, a group of prominent citizens formed the American Association for the Promotion of Social Science. It encouraged the development of free public libraries and worked to set up a national network of them. Frederick Law Olmstead, the landscape architect who designed New York's Central Park and Boston's Emerald Necklace, used the group as a platform to promote his then-novel idea that cities should create municipal parks. Over the course of that century, Boston became the first city in the United States to establish a police department, a municipal library and a subway.

The diabetes drug pioglitazone (Actos) appears to raise the risk of bladder cancer, but whether that is a class effect remains unclear, a meta-analysis affirmed.
Any use of a thiazolidinedione was associated with a nonsignificant 45% higher risk in the pooled randomized trials and a significant 15% elevated risk across the observational studies, Jeffrey A. Johnson, PhD, of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, and colleagues found.
Action Points
- A meta-analysis found that pioglitazone increased the risk of bladder cancer in type 2 diabetics.
- Note that any use of thiazolidinediones also increased this risk, the limited data available for rosiglitazone did not support an association for this drug.
Pioglitazone users had pooled risk ratios ranging from 1.22 to 4.30, the group reported online in CMAJ.
The little evidence available on rosiglitazone (Avandia) suggested no increased risk but wasn't conclusive.
"Although the absolute risk of bladder cancer associated with pioglitazone was small, other evidence-based treatments for type 2 diabetes may be equally effective and do not carry a risk of cancer," they wrote.
Type 2 diabetes itself boosts bladder cancer risk by 40%, possibly because elevated insulin levels stimulate the insulin receptors on neoplastic cells that promote cancer growth and division.
The FDA warned last year of a further increase in bladder cancer risk with pioglitazone, now reflected in the drug's product label.
That move followed stronger action against sister drug rosiglitazone in 2010, severely restricting access in the U.S. over concerns about cardiovascular risk.
That risk didn't appear to be a class effect, but whether the bladder cancer risk applies to all thiazolidinediones hasn't been as clear.
Johnson's group pooled results from the available four randomized controlled trials, five observational cohort studies, and one case-control study that included data on incident bladder cancer in type 2 diabetes with ever versus never use of a thiazolidinedione.
Altogether the incidence rate was 53.1 bladder cancer cases per 100,000 person-years on a glitazone (3,643 in 2,657,365 patients across the studies).
For pioglitazone, the one randomized trial suggested a 2.36-fold elevated risk of bladder cancer compared with never having used the drug, but the 95% confidence interval was wide and nonsignificant at 0.91 to 6.13.
However, the one case-control study with pioglitazone pointed to a statistically significant 4.30-fold risk of developing bladder cancer on the drug (95% CI 2.82 to 6.52).
And the pooled results of the cohort studies -- which represented by far the largest number of patients studied at over 1.7 million -- indicated an increased risk with a risk ratio of 1.22 (95% CI 1.07 to 1.39).
The largest of those cohort studies, an analysis of bladder cancer incidence with pioglitazone in the French national healthcare databases that led regulators there to force the drug off the market, also included a rosiglitazone subgroup.
Rosiglitazone showed no significant impact on bladder cancer risk in that study (hazard ratio 1.08, 95% CI 0.92 to 1.26) or in the two randomized controlled trials (pooled RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.34 to 2.23), one of which was not blinded.
"Given the limited evidence among rosiglitazone users, it remains unclear if the association with bladder cancer is a class effect of all thiazolidinediones," Johnson's group wrote.
The researchers cautioned that the major limitation of their meta-analysis was the lack of primary studies to analyze and no individual patient data, which made it impossible to adjust for known bladder cancer risk factors, like smoking and occupational exposures.
The FDA warning suggested that longer duration of pioglitazone use was a greater hazard for bladder cancer, but the studies in the meta-analysis typically didn't provide duration of exposure data.
One study showed a significant increased risk after more than 1 year of exposure to the drug; both that looked for a link after more than 24 months found one.
Another limitation of the meta-analysis was classification by ever versus never use might have been affected by other agents like metformin in combination therapy.
The study was supported in part by grant funds from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
The researchers reported having no conflicts of interest to disclose.

How to
Use the Activities
Inquiry Question
That Springwood was the keystone in Franklin Delano Roosevelt's public as well as private life is apparent. In fact, some very dramatic events in American history transpired at Springwood. The following activities are designed to help students understand these assertions.
Activity 1: Lifestyles
Activity 2: Remembering When
A. Have students team up in pairs to be an interviewer and a cameraperson. Each pair should arrange to conduct an oral history interview with a willing senior citizen who remembers life during the Depression. All students participating in this activity should meet as a group and develop a common list of questions to ask during interviews. Videotaped interviews will have the greatest impact, but snapshots and a written interview in a newspaper article format or an audiotape also provide valuable learning experiences. Ask the teams to share their interviews with the class and to explain what they learned from an eyewitness that they could not learn from a textbook. If there is student and administrative support, consider establishing a school-based repository for oral histories of the Depression.
B. Ask students to look for WPA-funded projects still existing in their community. Possibilities include post offices, schools, bridges, parks, stadiums, bandshells, etc. Students may turn to local historical societies, old newspapers, and published guides to WPA projects for help in locating a project. Once the students have identified a project, they should research how and why the project was undertaken in their community. They should describe in words and/or artwork or photography the project as it originally was constructed and as it exists today. They should also assess the impact, if any, that the project had on the community in the past and now. Students should report to the class what they have learned about the WPA in their community.
