My daughter is mixed (Portuguese and Black) and I am having a hard time with her hair. It is very curly, and very soft, and I absolutely love the curls. But I can' seem to find a product that will help keep the curls all day long. I wanna just leave it out every once in a while, and not up in ponytails or pigtails. I refuse to use oil in her hair, but I really don't know what else to use. Can anyone help me??

There's brown on the ground, brown on the barks of the trees, and no green on bare trees yet. Sure, we're lucky to live in a place with plenty of firs, whose branches look like long green arms. But honestly, in winter, it can feel a little like those arms are throwing rorschach blots on the sky. Right on target, I'm longing for some sign of spring.
(We're back to the time of year when And Then It's Spring feels like the only book worth reading, for the reminder. It will appear, someday.)
Still, when it's May, and we're sitting under the blooming cherry tree for a tea party, I might just have a smidge of longing for cauliflower again.
It's such a humble vegetable, the cauliflower. It's white and plain and calls no attention to itself. (The wild purple cauliflower of summer and the neon-green romanesco are the far more flamboyant cousins of winter white cauliflower.) For years, I didn't pay it much mind. Now, cauliflower is starting to look like a white room, free of clutter and anything on the walls, cleared out so you notice the light more.
Cauliflower can crunch and frizzle if you roast it crispy. It makes a surprisingly delightful pizza crust, if you aren't expecting it to be a blistered crust with air pockets straight out of a Brooklyn wood-fired oven. It's a humble little vehicle for prosciutto and olives. (Or pineapple, if you are Lucy.) We cut each head of cauliflower into tiny florets and sauté it with slivers of kale and broccoli, with olive oil, for a breakfast hash with fried eggs. (Lucy does not approve. Is there a kid who truly loves cauliflower? All power to you, if you have that kid in your house.)
The other day, Danny and I were sitting side by side at the giant table in our kitchen studio. In fact, it was the first time we ate together at that table. It felt good. After lunch, we lingered a little instead of jumping up to work. Our phones were on the other side of the room. We flipped through a food magazine and noticed. "Oh, harissa! That's a good idea. Hey, what about baking that instead of sautéing it? Oh, I've been wanting to play more with preserved lemons. Let's try that." We have these half-conversations, of pointing and few words, touching each other on the arms, and nodding. Danny found a recipe for cauliflower fritters. We both bent our heads down toward the page. They were a Yotam Ottolenghi recipe, from Jerusalem.
We should make those, I told him.
I stood up to move toward the computer and finish a piece I was writing. When I closed the lid of the laptop, I looked up to see Danny at the table again, phone out. Cauliflower fritters.
The next night, we made them again, for a dinner with friends. As our friend Laura said, "Is there anything with the word fritter attached to it that is not wonderful?" After dinner, our friend Joe laughed, "I think I must have eaten two heads of cauliflower." They approved.
Oh, plain white cauliflower with its lovely possibilities. You're making February palatable.
Cauliflower Cumin Fritters, adopted from Yotam Ottlenghi's recipe in food and wine, February 2014
We chose to make these fritters with a combination of almond flour and arrowroot starch, roughly in a ratio of 2 to 1, which is our favorite all-purpose flour right now. That made the final fritter puffier than the one we saw in the magazine. Rather than flat, bumpy pancakes, these fritters are airy and light, the fried batter matching the texture of the blanched cauliflower.
Feel free to use whatever flour combination works best in your kitchen.
- Set a large pot of salted water on high heat. When the water is boiling, add the cauliflower florets. Simmer until they are soft, about 10 minutes. Drain the water and set aside the florets.
- Whisk together the almond flour, arrowroot starch, parsley, salt, cumin, pepper, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, and turmeric in a large bowl. Add the eggs and whisk to make a smooth batter the consistency of thick pancake batter. If the batter feels too thick, add cold water, a bit at a time, until the batter whisks easily.
- Plop the warm cauliflower into the batter. Mash the florets a bit with the back of a spoon. (Don't make them pulp!)
- Set a large pot over high heat. Pour in the frying oil. When the oil has reached 375°, spoon about 3 tablespoons of battered cauliflower into the hot oil. Don't overcrowd the pot. Danny put about 7 or 8 fritters into the pot at a time. Separate the fritters from each other. Cook for about 3 minutes, then flip the fritter.
- Drain the fritters on paper towels. Serve them hot.
I bet broccoli fritters, using this same method, would be pretty great too.
These fritters really just have to be eaten hot, right after you make them, so hot that you worry for a moment that you might burn your fingers. But you won't. Enjoy.

Care Changes Lives
Care is a valuable and vital resource; it revitalizes and acts as a soothing tonic for the human system. Caring is a powerful motivator; it inspires us and gently revitalizes us. It comes from the depth of our being, the core of our hearts. In this e-book you will learn the Cut-Thru® technique, the difference between care and what we call overcare, overidentification, overattachment and balanced care. Caring like other positive emotions increases the heart's rhythmic patterns and improves the health of your heart, nervous and hormonal systems. Care is regenerative for both the sender and receiver. Ask yourself: Is my caring adding quality to my life or stress? The Cut-Thru technique will help you through this process. Increasing genuine care can change our lives and perhaps the world.

Overwrote the ROS sigint handler so now behaviours stop and die and stop motors upon exiting.
Registered a default callback for wireless receiver. Also added default virtual constructor.
Added Sensors class that abstracts away sensors from behaviors. Stops creatingduplicated sensors for each scout.
Small changes to wireless, and starting turning with line following.
ROS scheduler/whrobot behavior needs to be debugged
Fixed bugs and compiler warnings in old code.
Added linesensor to the behavior class.
Made nav map into an actual workable behaviorgit statusgit status
Behaviours now have names!
Fixed problems with running behaviors. Something wrong with Cliffsensor control. Must debug later. Also encoder control not working!
Temporary, possibly broken, commit to add EncodersControl.
Sorry - my ros build is broken. I will immediately debug on Priya's machine.
Fixed CliffsensorControl, now actually part of Behaviors
Updated the licensing information in many files.
This is a broken commit because I decided to do this at a bad time. Sorry! The build will be working after next commit, I promise (and I won't push till then). This commit reflects the licensing in the files after I used my auto-add/remove script.
Modified the Behaviors to take a scoutname.
Scoutname now specifies which scout the behavior will affect. Scoutname must be passed to the constructors of each control module (some of which are now in need of modification), so that they can publish to the correct topic....
Updated the Behavior definition and extensions.
The Behavior.cpp/h class now works and can be extended by simply implementing its run() method. However, the subclass must also be extantiated and used in an external executable. An example of this can be seen in PriyaBehavior.cpp/h, and the executable, priya_behavior_process.cpp. In the future, we should move all behaviors into a behaviors/ folder, and autogenerate the executable to be compiled....
Created Behavior class and a sample behavior using the class. Not tested.

Lee Gregory's hat-trick was in vain as Derby fought back at the Den to draw 3-3 and leave Millwall's hopes of a sixth season in the Championship hanging by a thread.
Gregory's first-half double, the second from the penalty spot, had the home fans dreaming, though Tom Ince's fine free-kick gave Derby a crumb of comfort.
Another Gregory penalty moments after the break should have ended the argument but Derby, with a play-off place on the line, kept fighting, Ince winning a penalty for Chris Martin to convert.
And a wonder volley five minutes from time from Jeff Hendrick saw the points shared, with Millwall now needing to win at Wolves on the final day and hope for other results to go their way.
Both sides started at a high tempo, with Millwall's urgency too often straying into the overly physical, and the visitors were far more fluent with the ball.
The first real chance though, fell to the hosts as Aiden O'Brien surged clear but shot tamely when he had Jimmy Abdou free to his right.
Derby were struggling for identity, torn between the pretty patterns of their midfield and playing direct to Conor Sammon up front, and their indecision showed as they fell behind after 26 minutes.
In truth it was an absolute horror show for Derby keeper Lee Grant as his sliced clearance found Gregory who gratefully ran unopposed into the box and finished well.
Shortly after, a strong burst down the left flank from Lee Martin saw Derby captain Richard Keogh handle in the box and Gregory calmly converted the penalty.
Derby were rattled, but a cheap free-kick on the edge of the Millwall area allowed Ince to curl a left-footed beauty over the wall and send the visitors into the dressing room on a high note.
A needless corner conceded by Derby became a needless penalty as Hendrick was lucky to escape with a booking after seemingly elbowing Nicky Bailey.
Again it was Gregory who stepped up, firing low into the bottom-right corner to complete his hat-trick.
Millwall struggled to shut up shop, however, Ince finding joy down the right flank and first Johnny Russell then Simon Dawkins threatening the target.
Ince's surging run in the 70th minute saw him needlessly felled in the box by O'Brien and Martin - on his return from injury, slotted home for his 18th league goal this season.
And a breathtaking late equaliser followed for Derby as Ince pulled the ball back for an audacious right-footed volley from Hendrick into the top corner.
Neil Harris' team kept pushing for a winner they would have clearly deserved as Ricardo Fuller was brought down legally in the box before Ince almost stole it for the Rams at the other end deep into injury time.
Derby hit back to draw at the Den
Lee Gregory's hat-trick was in vain as Derby fought back at the Den to draw 3-3 and leave Millwall's hopes of a sixth season in the Championship hanging by a thread.

Cisco (? - 2001) is a character from the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a major character in Grand Theft Auto Advance. He is from Colombia, and was the leader of the Colombian Cartel gang until his death, and was an associate of Mike, the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto: Advance. Cisco is living in the United States, as he describes in Grand Theft Auto: Advance: "I am a proud, illegal alien and I have an identity card provided by the Mexican Government to prove it."
Cisco is first introduced to Mike in the mission Fine Dining, when King Courtney attempts to get Mike to kill Cisco. Cisco, after getting beaten up, manages to convince Mike to work for him. After getting Cisco's new shoes (a method of transporting drugs) into various shops and blowing up a rivalry factory, Cisco asks Mike to kidnap Yuka in order to bribe the Yakuza. Cisco then loses the services of Mike, who begins working for Asuka Kasen, and rescues Yuka from the Cartel.
However, Mike and Cisco do begin to work together again. Cisco attempts to find out who had killed Vinnie, but this only leads Mike into an ambush. Cisco moves from his home in Wichita Gardens to near Francis International Airport, to further his investigations. Cisco then has Mike distract a rival gang, whilst Cisco attends a meeting about the "bubonic plague". He pages Mike to say he has arrived safely, although he is later killed by Vinnie, who had faked his own death. He is succeeded by an unknown lieutenant, who actively tries to kill Mike, in order to extract revenge (believing that Mike was behind the death of Cisco). The un-named lieutenant is not Miguel, as the lieutenant can be killed, whilst Miguel appears in Grand Theft Auto III (set after Advance).

Want to create robust, data-driven, iOS cloud apps? This book makes it easier!
Apple's mobile operating system (iOS) supports iPhones, iPads, iPods and other Apple devices, and while even beginners can now develop apps to run just on these devices themselves, sometimes you want to create an app with more heft. Applications such as live weather reports or multi-player games require a lot of data to be pulled from outside—often from cloud-based Web Services, such as Google or Amazon. This book, written by application development experts Sujee Maniyam and Neal Goldstein, shows you how to weave all of this together to create robust iOS apps.
Developers will learn how to get, post, and modify data as well as how to create and deploy new, app-specific Web Services. The book includes numerous sample programs such as Xcode projects, sample server code used to create Web Services in the cloud, desktop client back-ends, server metrics, and more.
Takes new and seasoned developers beyond the creation of simple client-based iOS applications to create more sophisticated, data-driven, cloud-based mobile apps
Explains how to access existing Web Services from native IOS applications and also how to create and deploy new, app-specific Web Services
Includes sample programs such as Xcode projects with complete source code, and sample server code for creating cloud-based Web Services
Offers valuable and hard-to-get information for new or veteran iOS developers, from small shops to enterprise iOS development
Connecting your iOS app to the cloud just got easier, with iOS Cloud Development For Dummies.
Note: Apple's iOS SDK tools are only accessible on Intel-powered Mac and MacBook devices.

Xiamen GRAND SLAM | 22 - 27 October 2013
Xiamen, China, October 24, 2013 – Top ranked teams including Sao Paulo Grand Slam champions April Ross and Kerri Walsh of the United States and Chinese top seeds Xue Chen/Xia Xinyi posted a pair of wins in the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Xiamen Grand Slam women's Marin Draw starting here on Thursday.
Ross/Walsh had no great difficulties taking consecutive 2-0 wins over Austria's Barbara Hansel/Bianca Zass and Poland's Kinga Kolosinska/Monika Brzostek to share the lead in pool E with Italy's Marta Menegatti/Viktoria Orsi Toth.
"I feel good. We played two good teams and it's interesting because it's windy here and I really like the wind. So I think it's very good practice to work in this situation with my new partner, we never played in the wind before together. We are so new and every experience is good," said Walsh, who claimed the gold medal at the Sao Paulo Grand Slam two weeks ago with her new partner Ross.
"That (victory) was great, but we didn't do so well in the AVP last weekend, so we have so much room for improvement and this is a very big tournament for us and we want to do very well, like we did in Sao Paola, even better I hope," added Walsh, who had won three Olympic gold medals in 2004, 2008 and 2012 with Misty May. "We have so much to learn about each other I have so much to learn about my new position. I'm really excited to get better so we'll take one match at a time and keep focusing on that."
April Ross, the silver medal winner at the London Olympic Games with Jennifer Kessy, was also excited with the new combination. "Now I'm permanently playing with Kerry and I am really excited about how my game is going to change playing with her. There is a lot for me to work on, it feels great," she said.
Reigning world champion Xue Chen from China and her 16-year-old new partner Xia Xinyi also made an impressive start at the Xiamen Grand Slam, beating Russia's Olga Motrich/Daria Rudykh 21-15 and 21-13 in the morning before overcoming Italy's Gioria Daniela/Laura Giombini 21-12 and 21-19 in the afternoon to keep the lead in pool A.
"It's her debut at international events and I think here debutant performance is much better than mine," said Xue, who had paired with Zhang Xi to win China's first ever beach volleyball world championship in July. "I was kind of nervous in my debut, but I don't think she is nervous at all."
Second seeds Taiana Lima/Talita Da Rocha Antunes, third seeds Maria Clara Salgado Rufino/Carolina Solberg Salgado, both from Brazil, and fourth seeds Laura Ludwig/Kira Walkenhorst of Germany also collected two wins in a row.
Thirty-two teams are playing a single round robin in eight groups with top three finishers from each group to advance to the 24-team knockout stage. The double gender Xiamen Grand Slam is the last of a record 10 Grand Slam events on the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour calendar.
China has hosted more than 23 women's and 14 men's tournaments on the FIVB World Tour, but this is the first visit for an FIVB international beach volleyball event in the city of Xiamen. The event in Xiamen is one of three FIVB international beach volleyball events being held in China this year. The first was the 2013 FIVB Open tournament held in Fuzhou on April 23 to 28, followed by the Shanghai Grand Slam, which took place from April 30 to May 5, 2013.

Smartly Tapping Global Markets: A Driver for the Rise of the South
We've become accustomed to talk about the rise of the "global South" in business and economic circles—as these past several years have seen developing countries (mostly BRICs, but also others) surging economically while the global North has retrenched. I've discussed in this blog space how outbound investment from developing countries is one indicator that we can point to confirm this trend.
The UN Development Program (UNDP) recently released its annual Human Development Report that takes as its theme the rise of the global South. I attended the Washington launch of the
report which was held, for the first time, at the World Bank. World Bank chief economist Kaushik Basu noted during the event it's a welcome move. The World Bank and UNDP have much information, tactics, resources, and energy to share.

I'm new here, but I thought about this question the other day, and figured this was as good a place to post it as any, so here it goes:
Which do you prefer (and why), given the following scenario?
In lane N, you can pretty much lead all of the sets and "set the pace" for the lane in the workouts with your masters club. Are you more likely to stay in this lane or try to move to the next lane (N-1 in my pool), and try to "hang on" there at the end of the lane?
I'm sort of looking at this right now -- I can pretty much lead my lane, but I have been trying hard to work up the nerve to jump into lane 1 in my pool. I think the difference is that most of the Lane 2 types like me were last really competitive in high school, whereas the Lane 1 types are mostly former collegiate swimmers (one of them is actually going to China for American Samoa, I think). I swam a little in college, but only on my own. I'm back in it now after more than 15 years, and I'm starting to make some progress...

Softenv Keys for metis on supermike2
|Softenv Key
▶ Softenv FAQ?
The information here is applicable to LSU HPC and LONI systems.
A user may choose between using /bin/bash and /bin/tcsh. Details about each shell follows.
System resource file: /etc/profile
When one access the shell, the following user files are read in if they exist (in order):
- ~/.bash_profile (anything sent to STDOUT or STDERR will cause things like rsync to break)
- ~/.bashrc (interactive login only)
- ~/.profile
When a user logs out of an interactive session, the file ~/.bash_logout is executed if it exists.
The default value of the environmental variable, PATH, is set automatically using SoftEnv. See below for more information.
The file ~/.cshrc is used to customize the user's environment if his login shell is /bin/tcsh.
SoftEnv is a utility that is supposed to help users manage complex user environments with potentially conflicting application versions and libraries.
System Default Path
When a user logs in, the system /etc/profile or /etc/csh.cshrc (depending on login shell, and mirrored from csm:/cfmroot/etc/profile) calls /usr/local/packages/softenv-1.6.2/bin/use.softenv.sh to set up the default path via the SoftEnv database.
SoftEnv looks for a user's ~/.soft file and updates the variables and paths accordingly.
Viewing Available Packages
The command softenv will provide a list of available packages. The listing will look something like:
$ softenv These are the macros available: * @default These are the keywords explicitly available: +amber-8 Applications: 'Amber', version: 8 Amber is a +apache-ant-1.6.5 Ant, Java based XML make system version: 1.6. +charm-5.9 Applications: 'Charm++', version: 5.9 Charm++ +default this is the default environment...nukes /etc/ +essl-4.2 Libraries: 'ESSL', version: 4.2 ESSL is a sta +gaussian-03 Applications: 'Gaussian', version: 03 Gaussia ... some stuff deleted ...
Managing SoftEnv
The file ~/.soft in the user's home directory is where the different packages are managed. Add the +keyword into your .soft file. For instance, ff one wants to add the Amber Molecular Dynamics package into their environment, the end of the .soft file should look like this:
To update the environment after modifying this file, one simply uses the resoft command:
% resoft
The command soft can be used to manipulate the environment from the command line. It takes the form:
$ soft add/delete +keyword
Using this method of adding or removing keywords requires the user to pay attention to possible order dependencies. That is, best results require the user to remove keywords in the reverse order in which they were added. It is handy to test out individual keys, but can lead to trouble if changing multiple keys. Changing the .soft file and issuing the resoft is the recommended way of dealing with multiple changes.
The user's program is written to make use of the Metis Library API, as described in the Resources documentation.

Kyle Dyer will sleep in: AM anchor goes part-time at 9News
Dyer will anchor the 11 a.m. and noon newscasts at KUSA and will provide taped pieces for the morning shows under a new deal she requested from management.
"We offered her (a contract) to stay on fulltime," News Director Patti Dennis said. "She wanted to renew her contract but in a different role, citing family obligations. She'll no longer have to come in at 3 a.m."
Her daughters are now 11 and 9, Dyer said, with increasing homework and after-school activities. "It's hard to be present. It's something I've thought about the last couple of years." Additionally, she's been keeping "these weird hours" since December 1993, even before she landed at KUSA.
The adjustment "will be just as weird for viewers" as it will be for her, Dyer said. But she reminds those who have had morning coffee with her for nearly two decades, "I'll be there on tape."

By Luke Miller, nutritionist at Great Plains Livestock Consulting
High grain prices, low pastureland supply and weather challenges have many cattle producers in a tight spot. However, we have already seen a relatively high level of heifer retentions this winter. As the national cowherd begins to rebuild, where are these cattle going to go, and what are they going to eat?
Many producers are looking for an economical supplementation program to help increase stocking rates. There are a number of feeding programs that utilize self-feeders. Assume mature cows consume 8 lb. per head per day of supplemental feed. This would allow stocking rates to increase by 15% to 25%. Assuming a mix of at least 50% protein/limiter supplement valued at 30¢ per pound and 50% corn at 11¢ per pound, we have a complete feed cost of $410 per ton. If cows are limited to an intake of 8 lb. per head per day, the supplement alone would cost $1.64 per head per day.
Another supplement program to consider is a mixture of pelleted soybean hulls and pelleted corn gluten feed at a 1:1 ratio. Adding a pelleted mineral supplement to this mix at 250 lb. per ton, with the ability to control intake, would allow us to make a relatively fair comparison between two programs that utilize a self-feeder. If gluten feed costs $200 per ton, soybean hulls cost $180 per ton and the pelleted limiter costs 35¢ per pound, the complete feed would run about $254 per ton. If intake is 8 lb. per head per day, this mix adds $1.02 to the cost of running a cow for one day. Hand-feeding a similar product, but without the self-limiting technology, would cost closer to 76¢ per head per day.
Get what you pay for. Tubs are a convenient way to provide additional protein to cows and increase forage utilization. As with any product, you get what you pay for—some have a high level of mineral fortifi cation and others have little. Likewise, intake may vary from 0.5 lb. to 1 lb. per head per day. Assume we feed a molasses-based tub that weighs 200 lb., has an expected consumption of 0.6 lb. per head per day and costs $90. This product contains 20% crude protein and has a relatively high level of mineral fortifi cation. This would cost 27¢ per head per day and would supply 0.12 lb. of protein per head per day.
An alternative to tubs is handfeeding corn gluten feed and a free-choice mineral without phosphorus. On average, these minerals cost about 7½¢ per head per day. Hand-feeding 2 lb. of corn gluten feed at $200 per ton would cost another 20¢ per head per day—almost exactly the same as feeding the tub. However, because we are feeding 2 lb. of gluten
feed, which is about 20% crude protein, we'd supply about 0.4 lb. of protein per head per day, or about 330% more than the tub.
As more hay fields are plowed under, we may need to utilize wheat straw or cornstalks. Grinding these roughage products and mixing them with a wet byproduct feed can be a good option for cattle. Depending on the cost of high-energy feeds, a limit feeding program may be an alternative to help stretch hay, but will require additional management skills,
labor, equipment and bunk space.
Don't forget other management practices that impact nutrition. Rotational grazing can nearly double grazing effi ciencies. Ionophores, such as Rumensin and Bovatec, can improve feed effi ciency by 3% to 5% at a cost of about 3¢ per head per day, to improve conception rates and reduce coccidiosis in calves.

North Adams Police Caution About Realistic-Looking Pellet Guns
North Adams Man Arrested in Rash of Dumpster Fires
|Scott Baker
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Police say they have caught an a man believed responsible for nearly a dozen trash container and other fires over the past month.
Scott Baker was arrested on Sunday and charged with eight counts of burning a personal property (a Dumpster) and two counts of burning leaves.
The investigation began Sept. 25 when a trash container behind the North Adams Juvenile Court on Center Street was set on fire — continued to be set on fire on a weekly basis.
There were also two additional incidents on Friday, Halloween, during which piles of leaves were set on fire behind the North Adams Public Library and the old Notre Dame Church on East Main Street. The trash container behind North Adams Juvenile Court was also set on fire the same night.
Baker was apprehended based on video surveillance of the trash container behind the North Adams Juvenile Court. He was noticed walking on Ashland Street by officers shortly after the fire was extinguished. Baker was wearing the same clothes upon apprehension as he was when he set the trash container on fire, said police.
Baker is being held on $1,040 cash bail and will be arraigned in Northern Berkshire District Court on Monday.
North Adams Apartment Fire Forces Families Out
|A fire in a back unit of a Loftus Street apartment building forces five families from their homes.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Five families were forced from their homes on Sunday afternoon after the rearmost unit in a River Street apartment building caught fire.
Crystal Fitzpatrick, who had lived in the back unit with her three daughters since March, said she was at the market when her teenage daughter, Karizme, called to tell her their home was on fire.
"I had to ask someone for a ride," she said. "I got there and it was full of smoke. I dropped everything and started throwing water at the wall."
Fitzpatrick and Karizme were able to get out of the apartment with their rabbit. The two younger girls, Serenity and Destiny, were at a friend's house. Two hamsters on the first floor were rescued unharmed but much of their belongings were likely lost, including a cache of Christmas presents, according to the girl's grandmother, Eddine Fitzpatrick.
Fire Director Stephen Meranti said firefighters responded to the smoke alarm activation, which came in at about 3:13 p.m., and were informed en route that there was confirmed smokes and flames coming from the building at the corner of Loftus and River streets. All off-duty firefighters were called in.
Firefighters found a blaze on the first floor had moved up the wall into the attic area in the back unit of the two-story structure. The older balloon construction with no fire stops and little insulation helped the fire spread through the back exterior wall.
"It was a quick response and an aggressive attack," Meranti said, that contained the blaze before it could spread to adjoining apartments and close by buildings. "These guys did a great job."
Firefighters brought in hoses through the first floor and used the ladder truck to ventilate the ceiling, leaving a large hole in the roof. The adjacent apartment was also entered but was determined to be safe.
The unit received extensive water and smoke damage, although firefighters did what they could to cover the items in side.
River Street was closed between Veazie and Brown streets for several hours; North Adams Ambulance Service, the Wire & Alarm Division and health inspector were also on scene. A fire watch is in place at the building.
Crystal Fitzpatrick believed the fire may have been electrical because it was in the wall; she said she had been having problems with some of the outlets. Meranti said the cause had not yet been determined and that it was under investigation. The building is owned by Michael Deep, who also was at the scene.
Tenants gathered outside the building in the chilly temperatures, several without overcoats or proper footwear because of how quickly they had fled the building. Karizme Fitzpatrick was wrapped up on the ground in a sleeping bag with her bunny, Foo-foo, to keep warm.
"The whole thing was smoking," said Eddine Fitzpatrick, as she comforted Karizme and her mother. "She's afraid everything's gone."
Fitzpatrick said she had had the two bedrooms for the girls redone and expected that all their clothing, if not burnt, was now severely damaged. The Christmas presents stashed in the attic by the chimney were likely gone, too, she said.
Power was cut to all the apartments and tenants were expected to be helped tonight by the Red Cross. Mingling around in the chill wind, they hugged each other in commiseration and wondered what was next.
"Why do these things happen to us when we're working so hard to get ahead?" wondered one woman.
Two Students Arrested at Different Schools with Loaded Weapons
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A high school student and a college student were found with loaded weapons this week after each created a disturbance at their respective campuses.
On Tuesday night, a Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts student was arrested at the North Adams campus after becoming belligerent during an evening class. Chris LaFrance, 25, was allegedly intoxicated when campus police pepper sprayed him; upon arresting him, police said they found a loaded handgun on his person. While reportedly licensed to carry a firearm, LaFrance is facing a number of charges related to the incident and the public school where he had been training was apprised of his arrest and terminated his participation.
Pittsfield school officials say a Taconic High School student was arrested Thursday morning for creating a disturbance and a loaded gun was found on his person.
At no point was the weapon made visible to any student or staff member at Taconic, according to officials.
The Taconic administration said it is working with the Pittsfield Police Department to further investigate the matter.
"Principal Vosburgh and his staff followed Pittsfield Public School safety protocol to the letter. School administration and Pittsfield Police effectively took all appropriate measures to efficiently address the situation and safeguard the school community," said Mayor Daniel Bianchi in a statement. "I am confident in Dr. McCandless' leadership and the professionalism of school staff as we continue to collaborate with community partners."
McCandless, Pittsfield Public Schools superintendent, said safety protocols are in place at all schools and are practiced regularly. The school community and parents will be kept informed, he said.
"The safety and concern of our students is the highest priority. All schools in the district have safety response protocols and procedures in place. Families are encouraged to partner with the school administration regarding any information that could be of assistance to help continue to maintain a safe and secure environment," according to a press release from City Hall.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Santa Clara University unveils its newly renovated Leavey Center Wednesday, when the SCU men's basketball team hosts Fresno State at 7:30 p.m.
The Broncos' home opener against the Bulldogs will take place under a new roof surrounded by spectacular 23-foot glass walls, a new floor, new bleachers and a new suspended scoreboard.
"We are thrilled to have an opportunity to provide a first-class playing facility such as the Leavey Center for our athletic teams," said Cheryl Levick, SCU athletic director. "This project is a cornerstone in our long-term plan to maintain a nationally-competitive athletics program."
The $11.75 million project, begun after the West Coast Conference tournament last spring and completed last week, is just the first phase of a two-year renovation of the 25-year-old Leavey Center.
The first phase, highlighted by the removal of the famous "bubble" roof last spring, required SCU coaches and administrators to move into temporary quarters. The renovated basketball/volleyball arena replaces the former Toso Pavilion.
The renovation's next phase beginning in 2001 will include new and expanded upper level seating, additional concession stands, a new athletic weight room and 25,000 square feet of athletic department office space.
Devcon Construction of Milpitas was the general contractor on the project.
Because of the renovation, the SCU women's volleyball team played its matches at the Pat Malley Recreation and Fitness Center, the men's basketball played its first two exhibition games and first seven games of the season on the road, and the women's basketball team played two exhibition games and two of its first three games of the season at the gym at nearby Bellarmine Prep.
The Broncos will be shooting at new backboards, on a shiny, 14,000 square-foot floor, under the light of 48 hanging lights and another 64 floodlights.
Spectators in the floor sections will be sitting on 351 new chair-back and 630 new bench seats, and concrete bleachers at both ends of the court have new, comfortable seats. The seating capacity of 5,000 at the Leavey Center has not changed. Spectators also may use expanded, renovated women's restrooms and new men's restrooms. A new elevator connects courtside to the second-floor entrance level.
During daylight hours, the Bronco teams' practices receive extra illumination through 20,700 square feet of quarter-inch-thick glass, in 1,008 wall sections that wrap around the large oval structure at the southeast end of the 104-acre campus. Approximately two-thirds of the glass panels are tinted to prevent glare.
A new scoreboard is a dominant feature of the new Leavey Center, with lights and video displays suspended 30 feet above center court from the steel support beams of the new 70,000-square-foot roof.
The Broncos men's team has a 254-97 record in the Leavey Center. In the first seven games of the 2000-01 season, the team has traveled nearly 7,800 miles, en route to its 4-3 record. After Wednesday's game, the men return to the Leavey Center on Dec.23, beginning a five-game home stand against Nevada.
The 4-2 SCU women's basketball team, fresh off a win at the University of California/Berkeley on Sunday, opens a five-game home stand at the Leavey Center on Dec. 27 against the University of Maryland.
For information about individual, group and season tickets to Bronco basketball, call 408-554-4660, or go to www.santaclarabroncos.com. Parking is available north of the Leavey Center off the main SCU entrance, and east of the center. For seating information, click here.


text: DENVER -- Nolan Arenado won the game with his walk-off homer and saved it time after time with his work at the hot corner. So, as Joe Thatcher, the reliever who gave up the game-winning homer, succinctly surmised, "Tonight was his night." Indeed, it was. Arenado hit the winning homer to begin the ninth inning and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 10-9 on Friday night after squandering a six-run lead. The 22-year-old rookie sent a 1-1 fastball from Thatcher (2-1) over the wall in left field. Arenado sauntered around the bases and then tossed his batting helmet as he rounded third base. He was mobbed by teammates once he stomped on home plate. "It was cool," Arenado said. "Hit a couple in the minor leagues. Hitting one up here is special." But his homer was only part of the story. He made one diving snare after another, including one that ended a bases-loaded threat in the seventh to keep the game tied. That play was what had everyone talking. "The home run is going to be the one on the highlights," said Matt Belisle (4-2), who pitched two scoreless innings to earn the win. "To see him get a big hit like that, youre just so happy for the kid. "Defensively, he was stellar. Hopefully, hes going to feel real good tomorrow and keep it rolling." Carlos Gonzalez had two triples and drove in three runs before leaving with a left knee injury in the seventh. Dexter Fowler returned to the lineup after sitting out with a migraine and finished with three hits, while Todd Helton drove in three runs. The Padres trailed by six runs early in the game and 9-4 heading into the seventh, before rallying for five runs. Chase Headley began the inning when he was hit by Rob Scahill, possibly as retaliation for when starter Edinson Volquez plunked Troy Tulowitzki in the second. "Just got away from me," Scahill said after the game. Carlos Quentin then hit a two-run homer and Jedd Gyorko followed with a solo shot. After a double by Kyle Blanks, Cameron Maybin made it a one-run game with an RBI single. That was all for Scahill, who faced five batters and gave up five runs without getting an out. Everth Cabrera tied it when he beat out an infield single. After Headley -- batting for a second time in the inning -- struck out with the bases loaded, Quentin laced a liner to third. Arenado snared it and threw a strike to first to end the inning. "Defence is a big part of my game," Arenado said. "A lot of people didnt think I could play defence. Its funny, Ive been showing more of my defence than my bat lately." Gonzalez wasnt around for the finish after slipping in the sixth when he was trying to scramble out of the batters box. He gingerly ran down the line before limping into the dugout. He trotted out to left to start the seventh, only to be replaced by Jonathan Herrera on a double-switch. Michael Cuddyer usually wouldve gone in, but hes sidelined with a rib strain. Gonzalez downplayed his injury, saying the knee has been bothering him since spring training. "Its all right. Just sore," he said. "Right now, I feel good." After scoring three times off Volquez in the first, Colorado broke open the game with a five-run second -- a big inning set up by another debatable call at first base. Fowler put down a one-out bunt and appeared to be out by a step, only to have first-base umpire Jim Joyce rule him safe. Gonzalez followed with a two-run triple. Soon after, Helton, Arenado and Yorvit Torrealba added RBI singles. The night before, the Padres scored the go-ahead run in the 12th when pinch hitter Yasmani Grandal was called safe at first on his bases-loaded fielders choice grounder. Replays seemed to indicate he was out by a step. Blanks, who nearly didnt join the Padres in Denver for this series, had a big game for San Diego, hitting a two-run homer in the second and adding a run-scoring single in the fifth. With Maybin set to come off the disabled list, the Padres were planning to send Blanks to the minors. Instead, Yonder Alonso went on the DL with a bruised right hand and Blanks had to catch a plane to the Mile High City. Jorge De La Rosa didnt have his best stuff and he surrendered four runs and 11 hits in five shaky innings. Volquez never got on track, giving up career highs in runs (9) and hits (11) while lasting just 2 1-3 innings. He was let off the hook for the loss with the Padres late surge. "It was tough. Thats the first time thats happened to me in my whole career," Volquez said. "Ive got to be able to make adjustments, throw quality pitches." Fowler returned to the field after dealing with horrible headaches that had him pulling the shades down inside his house. He even had a CAT scan just to be safe and said everything checked out fine. "Every time I put my head down, I thought I was going to pass out," Fowler said. NOTES: Headley left late in the game with tightness in his right calf. ... The Padres will send LHP Eric Stults (4-5) to the mound on Saturday. The Rockies havent announced a replacement for RHP Tyler Chatwood, who has a triceps injury. The top candidate to fill in appears to be LHP Jeff Francis, whos eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list. Francis said his groin injury is 100 per cent. ... It was the Rockies fifth walk-off win of the season. ... The Padres outhit the Rockies, 17-16. ... Colorado has won seven of eight over the Padres this season. Cheap NFL Jerseys . -- Yogi Ferrell orchestrates pretty much everything in Indianas offence. Stitched Jerseys . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming. New Geelong defender Zach Tuohy has no intention of trying to fill the huge void left by the retirement of club legend Corey Enright.The Cats quickly targeted the dashing mid-sized defender in a trade with Carlton after Enright retired to take up a role on Chris Scotts coaching panel.But Tuohy says it would be folly to suggest he is a ready-made replacement for Enright, who retired as the clubs all-time games record holder with 332.I dont think too many people could replace Corey Enright ... Im not going to try and fill his boots, Ill just try to do my job, Tuohy said on Monday.Obviously hes a legend of the club and of the game.Its great that hes still around and Ill latch onto him at training and learn as much as I possibly can.Tuohy, 26, signed a four-year deal with the Cats, who sent utility Billie Smedts to the Blues with an exchange of draft picks at tthe recent AFL trade period.ddddddddddddThe Irishman is philosophical about his surprise departure from the Blues after 120 games in six seasons.Once it became apparent that I probably wasnt going to be at Carlton I had to see where my future was going to lie, he said.As soon as Geelong came along, theyre a club Ive respected hugely for a long time, I couldnt turn it down - it was too good an opportunity.I had a great time at Carlton and I love the club still ... but its a cut-throat industry - thats the way things are.Once the decision was made I was happy to move on and start my new career at Geelong.Tuohy wore the No.42 guernsey in his time with the Blues, but is keen for a new number as he starts a new chapter in his career.

Wow, a whole month. Time flies. Every day the girls seem to do new stuff these days. Rowan sits up on her own now, which makes us nervous thinking that crawling is coming soon. Saoirse can sit for a few seconds, but the brace does slow her down. She's still wearing it full time, but that will probably be reduced to sleeping hours only soon. She will love that, she gets so excited when her feet are free. Both of the girls seem to have really discovered the brace lately, they both untie the laces on the shoes. Rowan tends to be jealous of whatever Saoirse has (toys, attention, etc...) and sometimes she stares at the brace when we're putting it on like, "Why don't I have shoes?" If she only knew how good she has it...
Saoirse and Rowan have had kind of a big month since we last wrote. They stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Haack while Mom and Dad went to New Orleans for an ophthalmology conference (and some much needed rest). They had a great time getting spoiled. After a week at home with Mom and Dad, we're all back up North for Thanksgiving. The girls went to Clare for the first time, met some cousins they'd never seen before. Lunch at Aunt Loretta's was fun and crazy with four babies 12 months and under.
To answer a few frequently asked questions:
1. No, they still do not sleep through the night. Not even close. Someday we hope it will happen. Before they go to college.
2. They did not dress up for Halloween. No one trick or treats in our neighborhood, and they don't live close enough to anyone to visit. So...next year will be their first Halloween.
3. No, they're not eating solid food yet. The plan is to start next month, when they hit their corrected age of 6 months.
Enjoy the photos!!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Maximum Color
Pages 1 2 3 NEXT
Shamus wants more games to use color like Crysis 2
agreed colour is good doesnt mean we cant have grey and brown in the games as needed but colour is nice to have too.
"If I can deliver a bit of a beating to one of last year's sacred cows: Mass Effect 2"
We've all or should all have seen your lets play of this game Shamus, you insult ME2 is like Ruts trolling mumbles. oh but rightly so of course Sci-Fi Liner shooter with a strange plot that i still seam to want to defend.
speaking of colour, Fallout suffers imo from the worse case of brown shooteritis, simply because the world was huge and everything was grey/brown and bland, if we took a pan from two parts of the wasteland you'd struggle to tell someone which is in zone 1 and which is zone 9. its like their entire colour budget went into Oasis, which was severl shades of green instead of brown/grey, different but would have been even better if there was the odd rose bush or vibrant radioactive man eating daisy.
edit: note i dont mean make everything zany and mad, but hell the real world is a bland uninteresting mess, id rather games add some vibrancy to it sure have grey and brown but not just grey and brown.
Once I instealled the Fellout Mod(the one that removes the green tint from everything) I was astounded at how different things looked. Was even more striking with Greenworld.
I love mods.
OT: Agreed. Color can have drastic effects on things.. Its a great thing about Crysis 2(that, and being able to see your own feet). I thought it was going to be all grey and metal and brown... glad to see I was wrong.
Hopefully more games focus on color and a strong art style, rather than pure graphical power. If you have a good style, you won't need uber-graphics. And that means your game will be cheaper to make, run on more PC's which means more people can/will buy it, need to sell less copies to break even, and could charge less, which would mean even MORE sales. And if it doesn't sell that well, at least its not a massive flop.
Its basically a win no matter what.
Funny how Crysis 2 looks like a grey shooter compared to Crysis 1. I hate its lack of flora.
Generally being blind to most visual cues in games even I thanked Crytek half way through for making all the alien tec have red glowing lights on. Don't get me wrong here, I HATE the bland humanoid aliens that now replace the old inventive flying design. But the red coloring makes distinguishing friendly from foe-ly far less tedious which keeps the flow goin.
This is a ridiculously unfair comparison. You chose the blandest screenshot possible from Crysis 2 and one of the most colorful screenshots from Crysis 1. Give me a minute and I'll grab a more accurate screen.
actually from this comparison, you can see a lot more potential for color.
this sounds stupid, but look at how the lighting effects look on the cry2 screenshot
all the flora in cry1 blends together, unlike the clarity of cry 2
and JeanLuc is right you took a biased screenshot
I don't mind the lack of colour in some of the areas Mass Effect 2, it only served to make the colourful parts look even amazing. Everyone remembers the first time the stepped into Aria's night club (whuzzit called again?)
Well compared to the super intense colour of the 1st game Crysis 2 is muted but it still uses colour very well. I think the problem is that colour used wrongly on modern consoles looks like gaudy ass and so limited colour palletes are an easy way to hide the limitations in modern engines like the CoD engine (or the Quake III engine to be more precise) or unreal engine.
Bingo! I mean...sure, it's pointless to have EVERYTHING gray and rusted, but having a few areas like that and later on having more colorful ones...dude - that's called having a contrast within a game. And it works to bring one's spirits low in one area, so that you can bring them up in another.
Or one can continue being selective and yell FOUL at even the slightest hint of rust being proof of artists being 'corrupted' by the mainstream too *sigh*.
Technically speaking, Crysis 2 is inferior to Crysis 1 in that respect.
Edit: Please disregard this post. The RPS source has successfully trolled me. :)
The problem wasn't that it had rusted metal. That's just as valid a motif as many other. The problem was that everything was the same tone, hue, and lightness. Make the floors out of a different material. Make the sky a strong contrast instead of a mild one. Set it in the evening, and use different types of floodlights (warm and cool) to differentiate.
The problem wasn't the idea, but the execution.
You know, the real world is not as bland as it's made out to be. I've seen enough of it to know that.
From the strikingly dark red dirt in Central Australia, to the trees & flowers in the local gardens, or even the garish colours of shopfronts and billboards, there is a lot of variation in colour in the real world.
Granted, it doesn't have the level of planning of a controlled environment like a film (or well designed game - Well, to be honest, the arrangement of plants in a garden is hardly arbitrary), but it's hardly as bland as it's made out to be.
A case in point, it's now spring here, and there's a spot in near the town square (which is surrounded by the upper and lower gardens), where there are 3 adjacent trees with very striking colours:
The middle one is a cherryblossom, with the pale pink petals made famous by Japanese imagery (Not that this is Japan). To one side is some kind of tree with bright yellow flowers or leaves or something...
And to the other side, something with really dark red leaves.
Further into the park, there's all manner of trees, including some that have some of the most intricate and colourful patterns in their bark I've ever seen.
Going the other way, you get ferns, large trees, and massive carefully arranged and very colourful flower beds.
Then there's all the old architecture, and lamp-posts in a shade of dark green...
The sheer amount of variation of colours, textures, and environments crammed into what is a fairly small urban town centre shows that even 'realistic' environments have little excuse for being bland and colourless.
The colors you see in movies are carefully chosen to set mood, to draw the eye. To denote importance. To make the audience remember an otherwise unremarkable detail.
How you could omit a shout-out to Mirror's Edge at this point is beyond me.
Crysis 2 uses a foggy "depth" effect, as visible in the second-page screenshot, which adds an amazing sense of scale to the scene. Homeworld 2 did something similar. (Note that it did so through the medium of background paintings, rather than through technology)
Eehhh. I'm not a fan of Crysis 2's looks, actually. Yeah, it's more colorful than most shooters out there, the game art looks amazing, I give it props for that, but it's so, so, so incredibly, jarringly glossed up and post-processed it actually makes me sick. Light blooms off anything with a bright color, making everything look blurry and fuzzy. I tried out the first Crysis for comparison, and the best way I can describe it is that Crysis 1 feels like a natural beauty who can turn heads without a speck of make-up while Crysis 2 is like a painted up call girl in a low-cut dress. It feels like it's trying way too hard to impress me.
You realise that RPS article is a complete piss-take for the most part? The whole DX12 thing in bold should have hinted at that, if nothing else did.
OT: Personally, I thought ME2 had a lot of striking colour.
I haven't seen a lot of Crysis 2, but I'm assuming this is an April Fool's joke from what I've seen of it in action...
I was actually thinking of giving this game a chance, despite my extremely strong aversion to the first-person perspective in games. There's something about it from what I've seen that makes me think it might be an exception to my "I hate FPS" rule. No risk, no reward.
At the risk of making myself sound like an ass if you do realize it, that article is a joke. I don't mean it's bad reporting. It's an actual intentional joke.
Well, I thought the DX12 bit was comedic exaggeration (with all the jokes of Crysis running on future hardware)... but were the 32% downturn in color and raise in carbon production by over 300% bits lies as well?
I guess I should've taken hint from the ridiculous texture comparisons...
Arrrgghh! Why is it so tough to catch sarcasm on the 'net?
Nah, thanks for stopping me from making a fool of myself any further... <.< >.>
I still think Crysis 1 had better open-world maps though.
Nah, it all was from what I can tell - the whole thing about a 0.1m drop in *whatever it was* over a 12 joule map was the biggest clue (joules are a measure of energy).
That all sounds brilliant, shame i live in.... well its not too bad, shame i don't really like it here.
Yeah I played the start of Crysis 2 last night and the colors and graphics looked brilliant.
EDIT: The gameplay isn't so bad either but it does feel slightly consolified, the thing about Crysis is it has an interestingish storyline and the gameplay in the first game was enough to actually make it different to other Fps games, a lot of people actually think it's a generic shooter but it's actually quite fun and the level designs are great, I work in modding and helping with indie games and they did the right thing with level designs that most fps fail to do right.
Have not tried the multiplayer yet.
Define "carbon production" in a graphics engine for me, then decide if you think it's a lie.
Truthfully, the large majority of that article is pure nonsense, on the level of flux capacitors.
This is a genuine tech analysis, although it's more of a comparison between the console and PC versions than the game's predecessor.
Bleh. Reminds me of Arrival, where you spent most of the time shooting people in halls and rooms white everywhere. White walls, white floor, white ceiling. Bleh. Well, the first part was better, but you spend about 2/3rd of the pack in white-land. No thanks.
I guess this is probably why it never bothered me in the main game. It had its colorful, nice looking spots too, and you got to see them just as much as the bland areas.
It's called... Wait. Fuck. I can't remember either. RAGE! Sorry but I have to cheat. *goes to Wiki*
Maybe instead of having color, we could have atmosphere instead? I like the use of pastel in games and all, but it's a bad move when it doesn't fit with the theme of the game.
I think a bigger issue is being strictly bound by realism. I'd take Gran Pulse over another WWII war torn beachhead area any day of the week.
I really didn't like the Art design for Mass Effect 2. Even on supposedly "lush" planets like Horizon or Jacob's loyalty mission, everything was through an ugly red filter. Everything in the game was either through a red filter or a silver one, such as on the Normandy or Zakera Ward.
And Afterlife? That nightclub hurts my eyes.
From all I saw of it in action, it looked like a whole bunch of blue with more blue thrown in.
I found the green areas in Mirrors Edge relaxing for some reason
Realism isn't what's bad. It's good realism we need to see
I agree that the color scheme is important for the athmosphere of the game, but there is one thing obviously time forgot: Hand-drawn art (2 examples: Baldur's Gate 2 [http://goo.gl/g2V6I] and Broken Sword [http://goo.gl/VORC1])
Suddenly want Jade Empire 2 more than ever.
Actually, that's my natural instinct whenever that game is mentioned. I hope Bioware doesn't bland it up. The colors, that is.
I couldn't tell if you were sarcastic or not. Someone posted that article here yesterday and more than a few people did take it seriously, so I had that in mind.

Give me Adele any day
I should probably declare an interest before I post these two articles which I've wanted to share with you for awhile.
I love Adele.
I only discovered her recently. Her song 'Someone like you' did me in. Have a listen.
And her cover of Bob Dylan's 'Make You Feel My Love' is gorgeous beyond belief.
No Lady Gaga porno gimmicks. No Christina Aguilera crotch shots. No Rhianna bondage and banana clips.
Adele doesn't need any of this. She's only 23, but she knows she can sing. It is her voice, and her presence, which makes her a star. She doesn't need to follow the sexualised scripts demanded of so many young artists and which I've written about before here.
So I was heartened to read these recently published pieces echoing my thoughts.
'Faux porn' music videos may be headed for a sex change, says label boss'
The Guardian – May 30, 2011
A top record executive has launched a damning attack on music industry attitudes, claiming the insistence on over-sexualising female artists has led to "boring, crass and unoriginal" music.
Richard Russell is founder of record label XL Recordings, home to the hugely successful UK singer-songwriter Adele, 23, who he said had the potential to change the way women were seen in the industry by focusing on her music rather than her sexuality.
"The whole message with [Adele] is that it's just music, it's just really good music," said Russell. "There is nothing else. There are no gimmicks, no selling of sexuality. I think in the American market, particularly, they have come to the conclusion that is what you have to do." Read article here
Pornography killed the video star – pop music's latest little death
Warwick McFadyen, June 4 2011 – National Times
SOME commodities are dug from the ground. Some are grown from the soil. Some are reared on the land. The value of each, whether it be iron ore, wheat or cows is governed by supply and demand.
So it is with the pairing of sex and women – the raw materials in the manufacture of a musical product that has less to do with the ostensible first cause of said product, that is the song, and much more to do with the selling of a chattel.
The sexualisation of women in the pop business to achieve this aim credits no one. It is a disgrace. In this commodity market, the human becomes the object. A singing, dancing object that has been degraded of individuality so as to be amorphous, malleable and interchangeable. Puppets and puppetmasters. Read article here.

Objective To compare two methods of developing short forms of the Malaysian Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-M) measure. Method Cross sectional data obtained using the long form of the OHIP-M was used to produce two types of OHIP-M short forms, derived using two different methods; namely regression and item frequency methods. The short version derived using a regression method is known as Reg-SOHIP(M) and that derived using a frequency method is known as Freq-SOHIP(M). Both short forms contained 14 items. These two forms were then compared in tenus of their content, scores, reliability, validity and the ability to distinguish between groups. Results Out of 14 items, only four were in common. The form derived from the frequency method contained more high prevalence items and higher scores than the form derived from the regression method. Both methods produced a reliable and valid measure. However, the frequency method produced a measure, which was slightly better in terms of distinguishing between groups. Conclusion Regardless of the method used to produce the measures, both forms performed equally well when tested for their cross-sectional psychometric properties.
